In desperation, the mysterious man slapped his waist again.
The next moment, he was stunned. There were only two usable items left in the storage bag in his consciousness, a spiritual treasure and a magic weapon.
He felt the suction under his feet and felt that if he used a magic weapon, it would only allow him to move about two inches away from the ground. He would then have to use a magic weapon.
Then this magic treasure would become a redundant accompaniment, and he only needed to sacrifice the magic weapon once more and he should be able to leave completely.
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. He felt that he had lost sensation below his ankles. The piercing pain had moved to his calves. The severe pain drove him crazy.
The man gritted his teeth, and through his spiritual consciousness, the last magic weapon in the storage bag had already arrived at his feet and instantly grew larger.
Just as this man was about to activate the magic weapon to lift his body and leave this place completely, the strong suction force that had always existed under his feet suddenly disappeared.
What followed was a huge hammer-like force coming from the sky above, hitting him directly on the head. Before the force even touched him, he felt like a divine thunderbolt descended from the sky, and he felt powerless to resist in his heart.
At the same time, an angry snort came to his ears.
This sudden change caught him off guard, and even if he was prepared, he would not be able to resist this huge force.
Under this attack that was like a giant god's hammer, the man was hit directly on the back while he was in the air.
In an instant, a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and spread all over the sky. This man and the magic weapon under him fell heavily to the ground like a meteor.
The moment this person fell to the ground, the first thing that came to his mind was not who had suddenly attacked him, but that he was about to fall into the sand pit under his feet, which was like a devil devouring people. What should he do
It's not his fault. He was almost driven crazy by the huge sand pit under his feet. Even after being hit hard, his first reaction was still the sand pit under his feet.
With a scream, he fell heavily to the ground like a tattered sack.
Just as he was in a daze, he felt unbearable pain all over his body and the scene in front of him was blurry.
He shook his head hard, trying to wake himself up, but the movement caused his internal organs to churn again and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
But after coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, his chest felt much better and the dizziness in his head gradually cleared up. However, his body was already extremely weak after the previous blow.
He slowly tilted his head, and his eyes gradually became clear.
He found that he was not in the creepy sand pit, but lying on his side on the bluestone floor of the steps. Within his sight, four feet appeared on the ground.
He looked up along their feet and saw two people standing side by side. When he saw their faces clearly, he was startled at first, then obviously stunned. A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and finally he let out a wry smile.
"Ahem... Ahem... It turns out that this is all a trap. The head brother is quite cunning, ahem... Ahem..."
The two people standing side by side were Gong Daoren and Li Yan.
Taoist Gong looked at the man lying on the ground. He was covered in blood at the moment, but how could Taoist Gong have the slightest sympathy? Resentment was revealed in his eyes, and he spoke coldly.
"I really hope that this was not a trap from the beginning to the end, so that the lives of three junior brothers would not be lost. This is just a proof, my... Junior... Brother Qin!"
As Taoist Gong spoke, his voice became colder and colder, and in the end he spoke each word slowly, as if each word was being squeezed out from between his teeth.
The person on the ground was stunned at first, then shook his head with some difficulty.
“Prove… prove… what? When I came here, I took… took out the wind… the wind chime, which already explained everything. Why… why bother… doing this again
It’s just that I… I didn’t think… thought, risking… risking such danger… doing… doing so much, you still thought, why… why did I come here?”
The man lying on the ground was wearing the Taoist robe of Xuanqing Temple. He was about twenty years old, with regular features. His originally fair face looked even paler due to blood loss. It was Qin Chengyi.
Taoist Gong looked at Qin Chengyi with a stern look in his eyes. He did not answer the other party's question, but asked back.
"Tell me, why are you doing this? What is there in my Xuanqing Temple that is worth your time and effort, and that made you kill three people in a row
Who is behind you? Don't say you don't know, or I will kill hundreds of people in your entire Qin family, young and old.
Don't hold on to any luck. Just now, I have sent a message to Kong Nantai to lead hundreds of disciples to your family."
Having said that, Taoist Gong stared at Qin Chengyi with a cold gaze.
In his opinion, when Qin Chengyi arrived at the Taoist Temple and took out the two halves of the wind chime, he could have taken it down. This was a matter of course, but he was stopped by Li Yan.
Li Yan told him that even if they captured this man now and tortured him, he might not be able to tell the truth.
Even if the truth is told, there is no guarantee that he will not have a backup plan. So if you want to know the whole story, you must use the soul-searching technique, which requires waiting until the evening when the ancestor of Xuanqing Temple returns.
In this way, if this person has accomplices or is hiding other things, it will be discovered within a few hours.
By then they may be able to escape, and it may not be possible to find out what these people are planning. By the time the ancestor of Xuanqing Temple comes back, it may be too late.
Therefore, it would be better to let Qin Chengyi fall into their ambush. If he has accomplices, they should come together to complete this final task. If they find Qin Chengyi in danger, in order to silence him, they will either rescue him or kill him.
In this way, they can be captured together. Even if we cannot get a confession now, after we capture them together, no one will escape and report the incident. It will not be too late to search their souls at night.
Taoist Gong thought about it and felt that this method was the safest.
He suppressed his anger and hid in the dark with Li Yan. Only after Li Yan finally achieved his goal and whispered "it's enough" to him did he attack in anger.
He still held back a lot in this attack, otherwise, with his fake Dan state, he could crush Qin Chengyi to death with just a thought. Qin Chengyi sighed in his heart. When he just woke up, he found that his tendons and veins were sealed and he could not use any magic power.
Even if he wanted to commit suicide at this moment, he couldn't do it. At the same time, his lower leg had been cut off by someone using the wind blade technique, and waves of severe pain kept attacking his brain.
His internal organs were in unbearable pain after the previous blow, and every word he spoke sounded like it was torn apart his heart.
He knew that the other party was deliberately torturing him and not treating him with elixirs in order to vent the anger he had accumulated over the past two days.
Enduring the severe pain, Qin Chengyi looked at Taoist Gong and said while taking a breath.
"I... I came here to steal the eyeball of a Miluo Nine-tailed Turtle in the Daojing Hall. I don't know what it's for."
As he spoke, he looked at Gong Daoren and Li Yan, trying to see how Gong Daoren would react.
As for why Li Yan from the Blood Leaf Sect was also here, Qin Chengyi had always been puzzled. He didn't know why this foreign Qi Condensation cultivator could appear here with the sect leader.
But this was not the time for him to think too much. Three people had died in the Taoist temple, and he knew they would all die. Even if he wanted to conceal it, it would be a painful thing for him, and he could only hold on until the evening at most.
Once Master comes back, he will search your soul directly. Think about the legendary soul search, it is not physical pain, but the torment of the eighteen levels of hell.
At that time, every soul will experience pain like cramps and bones being pulled out. This kind of pain is unbearable for humans. It is a million times more painful than having flesh and blood skinned alive or having the skin peeled off from the body.
So, he was quite happy to directly state the purpose of his visit.
At the same time, he had always been curious about what he was going to steal, and didn't know what its function was. He had been undercover in Xuanqing Temple for several years and had inquired about it privately, but was severely warned not to inquire about the reason again.
But to his disappointment, after hearing what he said, Master Gong showed a look of surprise and a hint of confusion in his eyes.
After a while, he frowned and continued to ask Qin Chengyi.
"Are you talking about the gray bead of unknown origin? It is just a guess that it is a Miluo Nine-tailed Turtle eyeball. It does look a bit similar, but it may not be what you want."
"Ahem... ahem... this is it. I don't know if it is really the eyeball of the Miluo Nine-tailed Turtle."
Qin Chengyi answered while coughing.
"That bead was obtained by the Yuanying Ancestor when he was away from home, but no one has ever found any use for it. Who ordered you to steal it?"
Doubts arose in Gong Daoren's mind.
"Hehehe, cough... cough..., Master Brother, can I... can I first know how... how you thought of setting an ambush... here.
I… I… I deliberately killed more of Brother Song to… to divert your attention. Logically… Logically speaking, even if… even if they could find out, they shouldn’t have done it so quickly! "
Qin Chengyi did not immediately answer the question from Taoist Gong, but continued to ask with difficulty while panting. He was very unwilling to not be able to figure out this question.
"Do you think you are still qualified to bargain with me? Junior Brother Qin, you should answer my questions honestly, so as not to make things difficult for me. I don't mind making you live a life worse than death before our master comes back."
When Taoist Gong heard Qin Chengyi's question, his face darkened. He just wanted to know the whole story.
"Hehe... Hehe, Master... Master Brother, don't... don't think you have found my weak spot.
Before, you... you didn't show up, so... you wanted to see... see if I had any accomplices, right
I might as well tell you that you guessed it right. I... I don't have anyone to contact me in the temple, but I... The family doesn't know what I did. I accepted the mission alone.
And I have made an appointment with him. If I don’t show up at noon today, the mission will be failed, and then he will know my situation.
Hehe, it's a pity that Master is not here, and it's impossible to search his soul now. Senior Brother... Senior Brother, if you want to torture... torture me now, I'm confident that I can hold out until noon.
So… So, I hope… I hope that Senior Brother can tell me how he found out that it was me who did it, and… and why he set an ambush here…
I will tell you everything I know... tell you, ahem... ahem... but please give me a quick death when the time comes, how... how?"
After Qin Chengyi said this, his face turned even paler, but his eyes revealed determination.
He was absolutely confident in the killing plan he had set up. No matter what, it would take the other party at least some time to find out, and by then he would have left.
However, the other party foiled his years of painstaking planning in less than a day. He was the genius of the family, and they sent him to complete this task. Of course, they had already figured out the strength of Xuanqing Temple. It would not work just by robbing it, they could only use wits.
After several years of painstaking efforts, they were ruined in the blink of an eye. How could Qin Chengyi, who was already proud of himself, accept this
But he knew that he would die, and before he died, he had to answer the question that had been bothering him, otherwise he would die with regrets.
When Taoist Gong saw Qin Chengyi staring at him without blinking, he was so angry that he wanted to chop him to death with a palm.
But according to what the other party said, there was another force behind them, and it was a single-line connection.
Especially since what Qin Chengyi said was the truth, even though he had the means, he was not sure he could make Qin Chengyi tell everything before noon without endangering the other party's life.
If the other party begins to confess under your cruel torture, but only lets out the confession bit by bit like a spring silkworm spinning out silk, by the time you go to verify it, it will be too late.
By that time, the people who were supposed to pick up Qin Chengyi would have long gone. How could he explain this to his master
