Soon Qin Chengyi was dying, and seemed too weak to roar anymore. At this moment, his calves had been rubbed by his own kicks, and there was blood, foam and black water all over the ground.
Until this moment, Gong Daoren snapped his fingers again, and another black light flew into Qin Chengyi's eyebrows.
In an instant, Qin Chengyi fell to the ground as if he had lost all his energy, and his whole body seemed to be immersed in a pool of blood. Under the spell cast by Taoist Gong, he could not faint, and the pain he was feeling was magnified countless times.
His whole body was twitching and shaking, and a large amount of blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Taoist Gong slapped his waist and a red pill appeared in his hand. He flicked it casually, and the red pill turned into a red line and shot directly into Qin Chengyi's mouth.
Then Taoist Gong tapped in the air again, and the blood that was gushing out of Qin Chengyi's leg was suddenly cut off at the source, and no more drops flowed out.
Qin Chengyi was already dying due to massive blood loss. After taking the red pill, within just ten breaths, blood rushed to his face.
Then, his skin all over his body turned blood red as if it was burned. He, who had already lost all strength, suddenly became excited again. Bubbles as big as soybeans quickly appeared on his blood red skin.
His whole body felt like being placed in a boiling frying pan. He was in so much pain that he kept banging his head against the ground, emitting painful howls that were not like a human voice, as if he wanted to kill himself to relieve this inhuman pain.
But every time his head touched the ground, the ground that was already covered with blood and flesh would generate a gentle force to lift him up, preventing him from getting what he wanted.
The blood-filled bubbles on Qin Chengyi's body were slowly swelling up, and finally began to burst. Every time they burst, they would take away a lot of blood and flesh, and even a few nails on his hands were peeled off and flew away...
Dozens of breaths passed, and Taoist Gong took out another green pill with an expressionless face. He flicked his finger again and shot it into Qin Chengyi's mouth again.
But this time, there was no horrifying scene. Although Qin Chengyi was close to death, under the effect of this pill, his breath slowly began to return to normal in a short time.
His mind actually began to recover a lot. When Qin Chengyi's mind returned to the human world from the underworld, he felt even more painful. His clarity at this time and the pain in every part of his body made his body tremble constantly.
Even the look in his eyes towards Master Gong was filled with resentment. He knew that he was going to die no matter what, so he did not beg for mercy.
"I have already met your previous requests, but, Junior Brother Qin, you went back on your word!
Although I can't search your soul, and I can't let you die now, I can make you live a life worse than death before Master comes back. If you tell me what I want to know, at least before you die, you won't feel too much pain."
Taoist Gong faced Qin Chengyi's resentful gaze with no emotion in his voice.
“I… I… the people I mentioned before… the people who would meet me before, are all fictitious. I just… just wanted to… want to know how you guys saw through… saw through… my plan.
Everything… everything… is because I heard that the origin of the Miluo Nine-Tailed Turtle’s eyeball is mysterious, so… I had the thought… the thought of stealing it, and what does it have to do with… with him… with others?”
Qin Chengyi spoke intermittently, and as he spoke, blood continued to flow out of his mouth. However, his eyes were a little dazed. Obviously, despite the stimulation of the drugs, his mind was still beginning to blur.
"Hehehe... It seems that Junior Brother Qin doesn't want to talk to me properly, so..."
When Gong Daoren heard this, a chill appeared on his face. He was about to attack again when Li Yan's voice came over.
"Fellow Daoist Gong, he probably won't tell anyone. I think before your master comes back, why don't we just take over his family and not let anyone escape? This should be the safest method.
Then, wait for your master to come back, and you will get the truth. Also, what is the eyeball of the Miluo Nine-tailed Turtle? What could have made them so deliberate and planned for so many years?"
Li Yan was also helpless. How could he want to see these here
Although Qin Chengyi is truly a man, this matter reveals that it is related to the secret order issued by the Wuliang Sect.
Therefore, he would not feel sympathy for Qin Chengyi being punished. Seeing Qin Chengyi so stubborn, he knew that apart from searching his soul, there was little hope, so it would be better to control his family first.
At the same time, he also wanted to see what was so special about the thing that made Qin Chengyi kill three people in a row.
When Master Gong heard this, his movements paused, then he looked at Li Yan and his expression relaxed.
After a moment's thought, he withdrew his hand and spoke towards an open space.
"Master Ji, you must personally take care of this person. Don't make any mistakes before Master comes back, otherwise you will be held responsible. Also, send a message to Junior Brother Kong and the other four to start the action. Don't let anyone get away, or you will be punished according to the sect rules."
Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him, and the figure gradually became clearer from blurry. It was the head of the Supervisory Law Hall, Ji.
The surroundings of this place have long been sealed off by Taoist Gong and Hall Master Ji, otherwise the noise caused by Qin Chengyi's attempt to escape from the "Quicksand Technique" would have alerted others and attracted them.
When Master Ji appeared, he first glanced at Qin Chengyi, who was already dying on the ground, then grabbed him and held him in his hand like a chicken.
Then he looked at Li Yan again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He had heard clearly what Li Yan had said before.
What's more, he already knew Li Yan's identity and felt even more respect for him. He said to Taoist Gong.
"Master, I have already notified them to take action just now, but I am afraid that the night will be too long and dreams will arise. The Qin family only has two foundation-building cultivators, one in the late foundation-building stage and one in the early foundation-building stage. They cannot escape.
I will put this child in the 'Quiet Prison' now, and then I will go there as well, I think it will be safer."
After listening to this, Taoist Gong thought about it and nodded.
The "Jingjian" is where Xuanqing Temple detains serious criminals. The defense level of the formation there is slightly stronger than that of the mountain protection formation.
However, based on the financial resources of Xuanqing Temple, it is impossible to deploy on a large scale. Only he and Master Ji have the token to open it. Once others enter, they will be trapped, and they will know it at the first time. It can be said that the people imprisoned there are safer than in his hands.
"Well, this is the best. If Hall Master Ji goes to the Qin family, it will be absolutely safe. I can just stay in charge of the sect."
Taoist Gong said.
Master Ji said no more. In a flash, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke, carrying Qin Chengyi, whose mind was already overwhelmed by pain.
Seeing Hall Master Ji leaving, Taoist Gong glanced at the puppet on the ground. After thinking for a while, he bent his fingers into claws and grabbed the puppet in his hand from the air.
Then he took a few steps forward and came in front of Li Yan with a smile on his face.
"Friend Li, I'll give this to you. If it weren't for you, the Qin thief would have gotten away with it this morning. Although the formation inside this puppet is a little damaged, I think it can be easily repaired with the means of the Wuliang Sect."
Li Yan stood aside without saying a word.
Seeing that Taoist Gong actually gave this puppet to him, he was a little surprised. This thing could be said to be important evidence, and it was a second-level puppet, and its combat power was comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator.
It is not much inferior to the puppet that Bai Rou gave him in his "Earth Spot", but it does not have as many secrets hidden in the ancient ape puppet.
And what Taoist Gong said was right. As long as he could find someone like Bai Rou who was proficient in puppet mechanisms, it would be possible to repair it.
Li Yan also understood that the other party acted like this because, on the one hand, he had contributed to the matter; on the other hand, Taoist Gong, like Master Xueye and the others, wanted to make friends with the monks of the Wuliang Sect, so this was also a way of offering gifts to Buddha.
At this point, it is no longer useful to have the so-called evidence. What we need to know most now is why Qin Chengyi, or the Qin family, or the people behind them, wanted to steal the eyeball of the Miluo Nine-tailed Turtle.
When Taoist Gong handed the puppet to him, Li Yan smiled, his mind racing, and he reached out to take it.
Then he put it into his storage bag. At this time, his storage bag still contained the inkstone magic weapon and some spiritual treasures that Qin Chengyi had thrown out before.
Treasures like magic weapons should not appear on a Qi Condensation Stage disciple from a third-rate immortal cultivation family. Usually, only the family patriarch and elders own such things.
What's more, Qin Chengyi also possesses two kinds of rare poisons in the world. From these manifestations, it can also be seen that Qin Chengyi or the forces behind the Qin family have spent a lot of energy and financial resources for this plan.
After seeing Li Yan take the puppet, Taoist Gong took out a storage bag.
It was the storage bag that he had taken off Qin Chengyi long ago. With Gong Daoren's fake dan cultivation level, he had easily broken the imprint of spiritual consciousness on it.
However, in the storage bag at this moment, apart from two or three spiritual weapons, some spiritual stones and a few bottles of pills, there were only the two halves of the golden wind chime.
After a light tap of the storage bag, the two halves of the golden wind chime were in the hands of Taoist Gong.
He made a gesture of magic, and the two halves of the golden wind chime condensed into an exquisite whole wind chime. The next moment, it turned into a golden light and shot towards the vermilion door on the first floor of the hall.
"Friend Li, please follow me."
Taoist Gong raised his palm towards Li Yan, made a gesture, and then walked straight towards the Taoist Scripture Hall.
Li Yan followed suit, and after the two of them entered the main hall, the golden wind chime that had transformed into a whole was taken away by Taoist Gong again. The vermilion door on the first floor was closed again.
From the outside, the door looks just like an ordinary one, as if it can be opened with just a hand...
In a secret room on the third floor of the "Daojing Hall", there are rows of wooden shelves, above which there are halos of light flowing, which looks quite dreamy and blurry.
There were as many as ten rows of these wooden racks. Looking at the fluctuations of the restrictions on the rows of wooden racks, Li Yan touched his nose.
He walked all the way to the third floor, and just by seeing Taoist Gong holding a complete golden wind chime in his hand, he opened the seven restrictions.
There were three restrictions among them, and Li Yan didn't notice them at all until Taoist Gong opened them. This made Li Yan frightened.
In this case, even with his level of cultivation, if he wanted to come here without alerting the monks from Xuanqing Temple, even with the golden wind chimes, he might still touch these formations.
However, it was obvious that Taoist Gong did not hide his intention and opened it in front of him. He looked very trusting of Li Yan, which made people feel good about him.
But Li Yan also knew that even if he knew the location of these formations, if there were also golden wind chimes, the techniques to operate the golden wind chimes would probably not be passed on to outsiders.
This should be the real core of control. Qin Chengyi must have put a lot of effort into this control technique over the years, in addition to waiting for an opportunity to get the two halves of the golden wind chime.
I just don't know whether he has obtained the complete secret formula.
After reaching the third floor, Taoist Gong did not go to the upper attic, but went straight to the third row of wooden shelves that were shining yellow.
When he walked to the end of the wooden shelf close to the wall, he stopped and waved the golden wind chime again. Then a gray light was captured from the wooden shelf towards his hand.
Then, he grabbed it in his palm. He looked at it carefully first, with suspicion in his eyes. He had studied this thing before, but even at this moment, it still seemed nothing special to him.
After a while, he looked up at Li Yan
"Friend Li, please come over here."
