The Shenhou Mansion led eight gangs and sixteen sects to attack the Black Lotus Sect. When the two sides were fighting to the death, Hua Xiangrong sneaked into the Mihua Valley with a few people, intending to open the ice coffin in the ice pool, but was blocked by the Black Lotus doctor guarding there. Let Lixi Gongsuo stop it.
The ice pool was very lively that day. Not only did Hua Xiangrong and others sneak in, but the leader of the Black Lotus and the Bronze General also appeared.
To this day, Qining still has no idea what treasures are in the ice coffin.
He thought that if Qianmo and others sneaked into the ice pool, they would probably know what was in the ice coffin, so he asked with a glimmer of hope: "What is it that you want to get?"
Ren Qianmo said: "We were ordered to follow the Treasure Goddess to sneak into Chaowu Ridge and go to an ice pool to look for things. However, they already knew that to enter the ice pool, they needed to pass through a forest formation. Ancient formations were set up in the forest. It is impossible for ordinary people to pass through it, and it is very easy to get trapped and die in the ancient formation. Once trapped, you will not be able to get out and will starve to death inside." Speaking of this, there was a look of pride on his face that could not be concealed. Color, continued: "Ren has a lot of research on formations, so I went over to help them decipher the formations so that they can pass through the Misty Flower Valley."
Qi Ning thought that Ren Qianmo was quite honest now, so he smiled lightly and said, "You are not answering the right question. What are you looking for in Bingtan?"
"Coffin!" Kongshan Xian rushed: "Through the Misty Flower Valley, you can reach the ice pool. There is an ice coffin under the ice pool. It is the ice coffin we are looking for."
Qi Ning remained calm and asked, "Are you looking for an ice coffin? Is it possible that someone has died and needs to be buried in an ice coffin?"
"No, no." Kongshan Xian shook his head and said: "There must be something in the ice coffin. The treasure-bearing boy asked us to follow the treasure goddess just to get the things in the ice coffin?"
"What is it?" Qining asked.
Kongshan Xian said: "I don't know." Seeing that Qining's face was not good, he said anxiously: "They won't let us know many things, they will only let us know what to do. The Treasure Goddess told us to find an ice coffin, but We know that her purpose is not just for the ice coffin, there must be treasures in the ice coffin, but we really don’t know what treasures are hidden inside.”
Ren Qianmo said: "Master Marquis, there are people guarding the ice pool. Later... Later, the leader of the Black Lotus was attracted. The leader of the Black Lotus was the great master. We... We are by no means opponents. We didn't even see the ice coffin, and we almost didn't even see it. My life was lost there, and I finally escaped death."
Qi Ning felt a little disappointed when he saw that what they said was true.
"So, you don't know anything about whether Li Hongxin, the king of Shu, has colluded with Ksitigarbha?" Qining asked.
Kongshan Xian asked curiously: "King of Shu? He... is he also a Ksitigarbha? I... I really don't know."
Ren Qianmo shook his head and said: "I don't know, we have nothing to do with Li Hongxin. He is the king of Shu and enjoys glory and wealth. Could it be that... would he also obey Ksitigarbha's orders?" A look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Qining was naturally unable to determine whether Shu King Li Hongxin had colluded with Ksitigarbha. He originally wanted to test it out, but looking at the reactions of the two people, he knew that they did not know about Li Hongxin's relationship with Ksitigarbha.
"You killed people and set fires in Black Rock Cave, and your ultimate goal was to lure me to Fengjian Villa. Did Ksitigarbha want you to take my life?"
Ren Qianmo said: "The boy holding the treasure said that you are a big trouble and a stumbling block. Only by getting rid of you can we achieve great things, so he said that you must die."
"Isn't it child's play just for you guys to want to kill me?" Qining sighed.
Kongshan Xian said hurriedly: "What the Marquis said is that the boy holding the treasure thought he was very powerful in martial arts, but when he saw the Marquis' magical skills, he ran away. We were forced by him and had no intention of becoming enemies with the Marquis." I mean. If the Marquis lets us go this time, we will definitely do our best in the future."
"Exactly." Ren Qianmo also said: "From now on, we will do whatever the Marquis tells us to do."
"I thought you could say something useful." Qi Ning slowly stood up and shook his head: "But after all, they are all insignificant things. But I can't blame you, you are in Jizangyan Here, it is just a chess piece, and the chess piece will naturally not know any important information."
At this moment, a strong man from the Miao family walked in from outside and saluted: "Master Marquis, you are ready!" Outside the door, there were four strong men waiting in a line.
Realizing that a disaster was imminent, Kongshan Xian and the other two shouted urgently: "Master Hou, Master Hou, please spare your life, Master Hou, please spare your life, let's...!"
"Actually, when you were killing innocent people in Black Rock Cave, you should have thought that today would happen." Qining put his hands behind his back and his voice began to become colder: "Your life and death are not in my control, but in the hands of these Miao people. Here, their relatives will die in your hands. No matter whose order you are under, what you have done is done, and those who kill will die. I hope you can understand this in your next life." With a wink, several strong men from the Miao family They rushed in, two of them, and carried Ren Qianmo out.
The two were stunned and struggled, but their internal strength was almost exhausted, and they were tied extremely tightly by the rope. The so-called struggle was like a small fish thrown on the shore, just twisting in vain.
"Jin Yihou, you are going back on your word...!" Ren Qianmo shouted loudly.
Qi Ning said coldly: "When did I promise to let you go? I do remember that I said that if you kill people and set fire in the Black Rock Cave, I will always take your lives. I always keep my word. If I say I will kill you, I will. I want to kill you!"
Amidst the shouting, someone had already stepped forward and stuffed something into the two people's mouths, making them unable to speak. The two were carried out of the house. Qining walked outside the door. Two people had been set up in the open space in front of the house. There was a raging fire burning at the bottom of the big pot, and fierce oil was boiling in the iron pot. Kongshan Xian and the two men were each carried to the edge of an oil pot.
Thousands of people gathered around, and the crowd was filled with darkness. The torches they held were like stars in the sky.
Eve stood in front of the crowd, and all the village owners in Black Rock Cave were also beside Eve. When they saw the two people being carried to the oil pot, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound of firewood.
"Brother was killed, and many villagers in the village also died tragically." Eve was pretty, standing among the crowd, like a blooming flower, with a clear voice: "After Jin Yihou learned about this, he immediately came from the capital Set off, come here to make decisions for us, and help us find the murderer." He raised his jade arm, pointed at the two people who had been raised high, and said loudly: "These are the two murderers, After Jin Yihou captured this person, he handed it over to us for disposal. Everyone, what should we do with them?"
"Get out of the frying pan, get out of the frying pan!"
There was a roar all around, and the sound spread far away.
Qi Ning stood on the stilt building and looked down at the people. He knew that after this disaster, the people in Heiyan Cave naturally hated the murderers of their compatriots.
"We, the Miao family, have the rules of the Miao family." Eve said crisply: "The heinous enemy will throw down the frying pan and let them suffer!" Looking up at the black sky, she said loudly: "Brother, still There are clansmen who died tragically, and the murderer has been captured, and now they will be used to mourn you!" With a sudden gesture, the strong men of the Miao family immediately threw the two Kongshanxians alive into the boiling oil pot. middle.
Qi Ning saw it, but also felt a little numb. He did not look directly at the oil pan. At this time, he heard slight footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xiang Baiying walking from behind.
"Uncle Xiang!" Qining sighed: "This may alleviate the pain and fear in their hearts."
Xiang Baiying walked to Qi Ning and said softly: "The Miao family has a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. They are sincere and enthusiastic towards their friends, but they are also ruthless towards their enemies. This time you rescued Miss Eve and helped them bring back the two murderers and handed them over to They handle it, and from now on, they will definitely be grateful to you."
"In the final analysis, this disaster happened because of me." Qining said with a bitter smile: "And these two people are just tools in the hands of Ksitigarbha. We haven't caught the real culprit behind the scenes." He clenched his fists. , his eyes became sharp: "If we can't capture Ksitigarbha and hand it over to them, we will be sorry for Heiyan Cave after all."
Xiang Baiying put his hands behind his back, looked up at the dusk sky, and asked: "If it is confirmed that the great wizard of the Miao family is Ksitigarbha, what are you going to do?"
"It is a state-owned law. If we can really confirm that she is Ksitigarbha, we will naturally act in accordance with the court's laws." Qi Ning said: "There will be no special treatment just because she is the great witch of the Miao family."
"National law...!" Xiang Baiying smiled faintly, turned around and walked into the house. Qining heard cheers coming from below and returned to the house without looking.
Xiang Baiying took off the wine bag from his waist, raised his head and took a sip, and was about to speak. At this moment, he saw Eve coming in from the door. Eve glanced at Xiang Baiying and smiled, Then he looked at Qi Ning, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. He smiled at Baiying, stood up, and said, "I'm going to get some fresh air!"
"Xiang...xiang gang leader, not...!" Eve seemed to want to explain something.
Xiang Baiying laughed and said: "I have been suffocating in the mourning cave for several months. I really need to take a good breather. I will leave for Cangxi tomorrow. Of course, someone must go with me, Miss Eve. , see if you can help me persuade him not to travel across mountains and rivers with me." He raised his head and took another sip, then walked out slowly.
Eve waited for Xiang Baiying to go out, and then sat down opposite Qining. Qining leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Does Uncle Xiang know about our relationship?"
"Ah?" Eve was stunned, her cheeks slightly red: "He... what does he know?"
"Perhaps everything is known." Qining sighed: "This old beggar has very poisonous eyes." Then he said with a smile: "But I was just about to tell him about this. It would be easier for him to see it himself."
Eve hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Little brother, thank you so much."
"Between you and me, it's better not to say this word again." Qining said softly: "It's just that the real culprit hasn't been caught yet. I promise you that no matter how high the price is, I will eventually give you an explanation. "
Eve forced a smile and then said softly: "The previous discussions between several village leaders on the choice of cave master have already come to a conclusion."
Bayali, the cave master of Black Rock Cave, was killed, leaving a vacancy for the cave master. Black Rock Cave fell into a leaderless situation. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Of course, it is better for this Black Cave to have someone inherit the position of cave master as soon as possible. , nodded and said: "The master of Bayeli Cave has passed away, and a new person is really needed to support the Black Rock Cave. They have decided who will succeed the cave master? Is it Father Mangwu?"
Eve shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "They elected me to succeed the cave master!"
