Although the person pretending to be Xiang Baiying was captured, he still looked nonchalant. It seemed that with Xiang Baiying in hand, he was sure that his life would be safe.
Qi Ning knew what he was relying on. He pondered for a moment and turned to the Moon Goddess: "Shensi, I heard that Miao Jiang is proficient in the art of poisoning, but I don't know if the Goddess is good at it?"
Yueshensi naturally knew what Qi Ning was thinking, and said calmly: "Although there is Gu magic, it is only something some pharmacists from the Miao family are good at, and it has nothing to do with us." In his words, he seemed to be quite contemptuous of Gu magic.
Qi Ning knew what Yueshensi was thinking. Although the Gu technique was spread in the Miao territory and was a unique skill of the Miao family, the identity of the Miao family's great witch was that Yueshensi was a close servant of the great witch, and his status in the Miao territory was naturally limited. Not low. With his status, he naturally doesn't play tricks.
Qi Ning was a little disappointed when the Moon Goddess said: "But there are people here who use Gu magic as a pastime. If you really want to know, you can ask her." He said to one of the four Miao girls: "Ah Yue , Sir Qi wants to know about the Gu technique, you can explain it."
The Miao girl named A Yue said: "What are your orders, Sir?"
"Miss Ah Yue, I have often heard of Miao's voodoo skills, but I have never seen it." Qining understood and smiled: "Miss A Yue, what is the most powerful voodoo technique in Miao Jiang?"
Ah Yue said: "The art of Gu is just like the Jianghu sects of the Han people. The Miao family is also divided into many sects. There are seventy-two holes in the Miao family. There are at least ten or twenty schools that study Gu. The most powerful one Gushu, as long as each one is used skillfully, it is a powerful voodoo. If divided into categories, there are now twelve kinds of voodoos in Miao." After a pause, he continued: "But there are three recognized by Miao. The big voodoo techniques are golden silkworm voodoo, snake bone and heart-piercing voodoo."
"Oh?" Qi Ning thought to himself that the Golden Silkworm Gu knew about the plague that occurred in the capital. The snake bones were, as the name suggests, probably related to poisonous snakes, but he didn't know what the name of the Heart-piercing Gu was. Asked: "What does the heart-piercing Gu look like?"
Ah Yue said: "Once the heart-piercing Gu attacks, it will be like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and life will be worse than death. Unless it is a treacherous and evil person, you must not use it easily."
"Is that girl good at heart-piercing Gu?"
Ah Yue knew that since Yueshensi asked her to explain to Qi Ning, she wanted to cooperate with Qi Ning as much as possible. She nodded and said: "What I learned is the heart-piercing Gu."
"Miss Ah Yue, I really don't know how powerful the heart-piercing Gu is." Qi Ning raised his finger and pointed at the person in the net, and said: "This person pretends to be the leader of the Xiang Gang, intending to provoke a dispute between the Miao family's 72nd Cave and the government and the opposition. , who has trapped the people in dire straits, is certainly a very evil person, I wonder if I can use this person as an experiment so that I can see how powerful the heart-piercing Gu is?"
The man's expression suddenly changed and he lost his voice: "You... want to bewitch me?"
Ah Yue looked at the Moon God Division and saw that the Moon God Division didn't say a word. The big witch over there didn't stop him either. She understood in her heart and said to Qining: "Sir, help me hold this place." Qining walked over and took Ah With the network cable in Yue's hand, Ah Yue took off a small bag from her waist and walked up to the man. The man looked slightly panicked and sneered, "I didn't expect that the great witch of the Miao family would actually use poison." Such a dirty trick, I...!" Before he could finish speaking, Ah Yue flicked his fingers, and something flew into the man's mouth. The man was shocked, struggled, and said angrily: "You... you What did you give me to eat?”
Qi Ning saw it clearly. Ah Yue opened the small bag, and a small black insect crawled out immediately. Ah Yue picked it up with her nails and flicked it into the man's mouth. All this was done in an instant, with extremely skilled techniques. , one can tell at a glance that Ah Yue is a master of using voodoo.
Ah Yue hung the small bag on her waist, but took a finger-long bamboo piece and brought it close to her lips, and then an extremely weird tune sounded.
The man opened his mouth, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and then he began to struggle in the white net, but the white net was too tight. No matter how hard the man struggled, his body was always inside the net, and it looked like a huge Insects squirmed in the net.
Qi Ning saw the pain on the man's face and his whole body trembling. Finally, he heard the man scream: "Don't blow, don't blow...!"
Qi Ning knew that it had taken effect, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you next to Ksitigarbha, or the Sixth Envoy of Ksitigarbha?"
"I... I am listening!" The man finally said: "I am... I am listening!"
Qi Ning was startled, thinking that there really was someone listening around Ksitigarbha, and asked again: "Is your purpose of coming to Cangxi pretending to be a gang leader as I expected?"
"No... not bad!" Although Ah Yue stopped, cold sweat still broke out on Diting's forehead, and there was still pain in her eyes: "As long as... as long as the great witch dies, the entire Miao family's seventy-two holes will be destroyed. ... will fall into chaos. At that time, as long as there is a little provocation, they... they will definitely be used by us...!"
Qi Ning sneered in his heart.
The great witch of the Miao family is extremely wise. As long as the great witch is alive, even if the Ksitigarbha is stirring up trouble behind his back and the great witch is in charge, the Miao family's 72 holes may not be bewitched by others. However, once the great witch is assassinated, I am afraid no one can stop the Miao family. anger.
"Is Gang Leader Xiang really in Ksitigarbha's hands now?" Qining asked immediately.
Di Ting said: "Xiang Baiying's life and death is now in the hands of Ksitigarbha. As long as I succeed in the assassination, Xiang Baiying's life will be at risk."
Qi Ning was startled, but immediately understood the key.
If Di Ting's assassination is successful, Ksitigarbha kills Xiang Baiying and makes Xiang Baiying completely disappear from the world, then no one can prove Xiang Baiying's innocence, and everyone will believe that the great witch was killed by Xiang Baiying.
Now that Di Ting's assassination failed, Ksitigarbha would not take action against Xiang Baiying, thinking that he had another plan to use Xiang Baiying.
"Who is Ksitigarbha?" Qining finally asked the crucial question: "You are Tingting, and you are his confidant. Where is he now?"
A strange smile appeared on Diting's face. Ah Yue put the bamboo piece to her lips again, but suddenly she saw Diting's figure swaying. Qining immediately felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Not good." He rushed forward. He went and grabbed Di Ting's chest, but saw blood overflowing from the corner of Di Ting's mouth. He immediately raised his hand to pinch Di Ting's jaw, and lifted it up. Di Ting's mouth opened, and a stream of blood came out, and he saw Di Ting spit out something with a "pop" sound, and the flesh and blood were blurred. Qining glanced at the spit out thing and was horrified. What protruded from Di Ting's mouth turned out to be half of his tongue.
Di Ting bit her tongue and committed suicide!
Yueshensi swayed and reached Qi Ning's side. He reached out and put a pill into Di Ting's mouth. Then he moved like lightning and tapped several acupuncture points on Di Ting. He ordered: "Take him down for treatment!"
Qi Ning knew that what Yueshensi put into Di Ting's mouth must be medicine. This Diting was Ji Ting's confidant, and Yueshensi would certainly not let him die easily.
The four Miao girls immediately stepped forward, lifted up Di Ting's limbs, and quickly retreated, disappearing in a moment.
"Ksitigarbha can send Diting here, so he naturally has great trust in this person." The great wizard's voice finally sounded: "It is not easy to get the identity of Ksitigarbha from this person. Lord Qi, this person will stay here Next, we will treat his injuries, and when he recovers, we will slowly ask questions. If he confesses his identity, I will send someone to inform you."
Qi Ning turned to the opposite side, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, great witch!"
"Ksitigarbha has repeatedly tried to sow discord between the Miao family's Seventy-Two Cave and the imperial court, but has never succeeded." The great wizard said: "This time, they planned carefully, but failed. However, we also know that someone deliberately wanted to provoke Miao. For family disputes, I will ask the Miao King to come and have him discuss with the leaders of each village to guard against anyone taking advantage of the Miao family to cause trouble."
Qi Ning thought that with the words of the great witch, it would be very difficult for Ksitigarbha to try to hit the seventy-two holes of the Miao family.
Ksitigarbha's move this time was certainly ruthless, but it was also considered a huge gamble.
Once successful, Xichuan and even Dachu will be in chaos. However, once failed, the Miao people will realize that someone is trying to stir up dissension. Moreover, this scene happened under the eyes of the great witch today. From then on, it is almost difficult for Ksitigarbha to have the opportunity to challenge again. The hostility of the Miao family's 72nd Cave to the imperial court arose.
Qi Ning was ordered to come to Xichuan. Although it was to find out the truth about Ksitigarbha, in the final analysis, he still wanted to ensure that the court would not be unrest in Xichuan during the Northern Expedition. And the biggest force that could threaten the court in Xichuan was the Miao family. Now that there is a big witch in the second hole, the Miao family's 72nd hole can be considered temporarily stable, and there will be no easy turmoil. The purpose of my trip to Xichuan can be considered half achieved.
Qi Ning thought for a while and finally asked the great witch: "Great witch, I have a few questions. I wonder if the great witch can help me answer them?"
"I know what you want to ask." The great witch sighed: "Have you been thinking about your mother?"
"Exactly." Qi Ning said: "The dusk is like smoke, the floating clouds are thousands of illusions, the dianthus have clear voices and are dancing in plain clothes... The great witch said that there are three names among them, and my mother is also among them, but I don't know... What is the relationship between the great witch and my mother? "
There was silence for a while, then the great wizard asked: "No one has ever mentioned your mother to you?"
"Gang Leader Xiang once mentioned it to me." Qining said, "But he didn't say much, and he didn't even mention that he knew the great witch."
The great witch sighed: "Maybe he doesn't know that the great witch of the Miao family today is the Miao girl Ah Huan back then!"
Qi Ning said: "There is also Ru Yan. Forgive me, who is Ru Yan? I have never heard of him before."
The great witch was silent for a moment and then said: "Ruyan is my sister, Ruyan is just her Chinese name."
Qi Ning understood something and asked: "Great witch, could it be that... you have also been to the capital back then?" He thought that Cangxi Miao Village was far away from the capital. Although Liu Suyi was not an ordinary woman who wanted to stay in a boudoir, she was still an official and a gentry after all. The young lady of the Miao family should not have traveled all the way from the capital to the Miao territory before leaving the imperial court. But since the great wizard of the Miao family knew Liu Suyi, it could only mean that the great wizard had been to the capital and met Liu Suyi in the capital.
