"Thank you, senior, for not killing. Thank you, senior, for not killing."
The man who survived the disaster hurriedly thanked Ye Qing.
"When did I say I won't kill you?" Ye Qing's tone suddenly changed and he looked at the man with a half-smile.
Hearing this, the man who originally thought he had escaped the disaster and regained a trace of blood on his face once again became as pale as paper, without a trace of human color.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a joke." Ye Qing said calmly.
"Huh..." The heartbroken man breathed a sigh of relief, and a touch of blood appeared on his face again. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, the other party's faint voice rang out again: "If you don't obey me, , it won’t be too late for me to kill you.”
The man's heart, which had not yet fallen into his stomach, rose to his throat again, his heart pounding, and he was stunned.
Damn, with this kind of behavior, if the other party is not a murderous demon, he will stand on his head to wash his hair.
"No... I don't dare. As long as the seniors have instructions, the juniors will not give up even if they die."
The man hurriedly bowed and saluted, fearing that if he answered too slowly, the other party would slap him to death.
"Yes, very good." Ye Qing nodded and said calmly: "What's your name?"
The man said cautiously: "Junior Zuo Ming, I have met senior."
"Zuo Ming, you are really insulting the word Ming by calling him this name." Ye Qingxian glanced at Zuo Ming.
"Haha, senior is joking." Zuo Ming laughed twice.
"Let me ask you, is this a longevity village?" Ye Qing stopped scaring the other person and asked.
Zuo Ming replied: "Reporting back to the seniors, the juniors are not sure either."
"Not sure?" Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, making people shudder: "I think carefully before answering. I don't like people to lie to me."
"Juniors don't dare, juniors don't dare." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zuo Ming's forehead, and he hurriedly explained: "To be honest, we are indeed here to look for the longevity village, but the longevity village in front of us is very different from what we imagined. Therefore, the juniors are not sure whether this is a longevity village."
"You guys? So you're not alone anymore?" Ye Qing asked.
Zuo Ming said honestly: "Senior is wise, there are seven of us in our group."
"Seven people, that's quite a lot of people!" Ye Qing smiled lightly, which made Zuo Ming's hair stand on end: "How did you find this place?"
Zuo Ming didn't dare to hide it: "It was...an old Taoist priest who led us to this place."
"Old Taoist priest? A poor man!" Ye Qing was overjoyed that he finally found a poor man, but Ye Qing didn't show any signs of it on his face. He said calmly: "Haha, are you sure that the old Taoist priest didn't lie to you?"
Zuo Ming said disdainfully: "He dares. That old Taoist priest has no other skills except hexagram skills. I forgive him for not daring to play tricks."
A rookie who knows how to tell fortunes will definitely be poor.
"Whether he is playing tricks or not is up to you. Take me to find him." Ye Qing said without any doubt.
"Yes!" Zuo Ming did not dare to refuse, nor was he qualified to refuse: "Senior, please come this way."
After taking two steps, Ye Qing continued to ask: "By the way, has this place always been like this since you came in?" Ye Qing asked.
"Yes." Zuo Ming nodded: "This place has been like this since we came in, desolate and desolate. There is no one, not even weird ones. It's very weird."
"Is there no danger?" Ye Qing glanced sideways at the strange child lying on Zuo Ming's shoulder, noncommittal.
Zuo Ming was horrified by Ye Qing's gaze and said tremblingly: "Senior, is there any problem?"
"If you think it's okay, then it's okay." Ye Qing said vaguely. To be honest, he wasn't sure what the strange child on Zuo Ming's shoulder was, so he didn't take action rashly.
Of course, he was not afraid of that weird thing, but he was afraid that it would be bad if he killed Zuo Ming.
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Zuo Ming felt even more uneasy.
Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's thoughts and asked casually: "What are you doing with the longevity village?"
Zuo Ming came to his senses and replied: "My master's end is approaching, but he doesn't want to die, so he wants to go to Changshou Village to find a way to extend his life."
"Your master?" Ye Qing said in a slightly longer tone.
Zuo Ming hurriedly explained: "My master is Mr. Xue of the Muyang Xue family, Xue Hanshan."
"Muyang Xue family..." Muyang is a county below Beiyou. As for the Xue family, he has never heard of it.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said sarcastically: "Doesn't Xue Hanshan know that people who have entered Changshou Village have long lifespans, but they have done so at the cost of the lives of all their blood relatives and friends?"
Zuo Ming smiled awkwardly: "Of course Mr. Xue knows this, but..."
Zuo Ming didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident. Some people in this world are willing to save ten thousand people with their own lives, while some people are willing to sacrifice ten thousand people's lives in exchange for one life.
This is human nature.
"Tsk tsk...then his children won't object?" Ye Qing asked curiously.
Zuo Ming chuckled: "Of course Mr. Xue won't let them know this."
"Haha... interesting." Ye Qing smiled meaningfully: "You should be Xue Hanshan's confidant, aren't you afraid of him blaming you for telling me this?"
Zuo Ming hurriedly expressed his position: "Since the senior has asked, the junior naturally dare not hide it. I am sure Mr. Xue will understand."
"Haha... You are quite smart." Ye Qing smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Zuo Ming's performance.
Zuo Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were walking and chatting. Of course, Ye Qing was mainly asking questions and Zuo Ming was answering. Naturally, he was not asking these questions out of nowhere, but to find out the strength of Xue Hanshan and others so that he could formulate a plan for him to rescue Yipou. .
Soon, Zuo Ming brought Ye Qing to the place where they gathered.
The place where Xue Hanshan and others are, Ye Qing also visited last night, is a house with a single courtyard. When he and Mu Qing visited here last night, the courtyard was elegantly and delicately decorated, with flowers and plants matching each other, and the fragrance was pleasant, but now The roof tiles are broken, the grass is overgrown, and it is in a dilapidated state. It really cannot be connected with the elegance and sophistication of last night.
"Priest Yipin, are you sure this is a longevity village?" When he was still ten feet away from the small courtyard, an old voice rang out from Ye Qing's demonic perception.
The speaker was an old man wearing shabby clothes, with yellow spots on his face.
It must be Xue Hanshan.
In addition to Xue Hanshan, there were three other people in the yard, one of whom was tall, with a hideous and ugly face, and carried a mace on his shoulder;
A man dressed in black, with a ghostly face on his face, holding a sword in his arms, his head lowered, his breath weak, standing behind Xue Hanshan like a shadow, unattractive.
These two people should be Xue Hanshan's right-hand men in Zuo Ming's mouth. They are also the two people Xue Hanshan trusts most. The evil tiger and the evil eagle who never leave his side are the evil tiger and the burly man. The evil eagle is the shadow-like figure. people.
The remaining person is naturally poor.
Although the old Taoist priest was a hostage, he did not seem to have been mistreated, and his complexion was rosy and shiny.
After hearing Xue Hanshan's words, Yipou hurriedly assured: "The old Taoist is sure that this is a longevity village."
Hearing this, the evil tiger grabbed the collar of Yipo's clothes and said with a ferocious face: "Changshou Village? There is no fart here, how can it be Changshou Village? Old guy, are you kidding us?"
Yipou said hurriedly: "How dare you lie to Mr. Xue and you guys? This is really a longevity village. As for why this place is like this, I don't know. I have never been to a longevity village before."
"Evil tiger, let go of the poor Taoist priest. The poor Taoist priest is a smart man. Smart people will not do stupid things." Xue Hanshan said slowly.
"I don't dare." Yipo said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare." Evil Tiger snorted coldly and threatened: "Old man, don't forget that your apprentice is still in our hands. If you dare to lie to us, don't blame me for deceiving you and your apprentice. The body was broken into pieces."
"Yes, yes." Yipo nodded and bowed.
Suddenly, Xue Hanshan seemed to sense something and turned to look outside the hospital: "Zuo Ming, did you find any clues?"
