After Chen Xiaomu finished scolding, he asked Yuan Hao, "Yuan Guanjian, after raising this python for so many years, it must have a big appetite now, right? How many chickens and ducks does it eat in a day now?"
Yuan Hao was shocked when he heard the sound, and he hummed for a long time without saying a single clear word.
Chen Xiaomu asked strangely: "Yuan Guanjian, are you trying to hide something? Why can't I understand you?"
Yuan Hao said: "Master Jun, I have stopped feeding chickens and ducks for a long time!"
"Well, that's right. After raising this python for such a long time, chickens and ducks will definitely not be able to satisfy its appetite. It has to feed it at least one pig or one sheep every time!" Chen Xiaomu thought to himself.
Yuan Hao opened his mouth but stopped talking.
At this time, a man in black trotted over, came to Yuan Hao, bowed and clasped his fists, and said: "Taoist Guan Supervisor, the time has come. Disciple Xuantong is going to take the junior disciples into the Dragon Cave for duty. May I ask the Supervisor Taoist Any other instructions?"
Yuan Hao waved his hand gently and said: "I don't have anything to tell you, you can go in!"
"Yes, Taoist Supervisor." The man in black agreed, turned around and took a few steps forward, then turned back again, still bowing and clasping his fists, but this time it was clear from his voice that he was being careful. , only to hear him whisper: "Master Guanjian, this disciple has one more thing to report!"
Yuan Hao glared at him quietly. Since Chen Xiaomu and others were around and it was difficult to have an attack, he could only curse in his heart that this man had no wink at all. It was a pity that the man in black did not notice the expression on his face at this moment. , still standing in front of him blankly waiting for his reply, Yuan Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said angrily: "Come and listen to me!"
The man in black raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaomu, Su Xingran and others who were standing around Yuan Hao. He was startled for a moment and hesitated again. Yuan Hao immediately lowered his face and scolded in a tone of hatred: "What a waste of time! I'll come back to you after you think about it." I said." After saying that, he wanted to take Chen Xiaomu and others away from here.
The man in black was anxious and said hurriedly: "Master Guanjian, Shi Biao asked me to report to you. He said he wanted to see you before he was fed to the dragon?"
"No," Yuan Hao simply refused and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Chen Xiaomu heard something fishy in the man in black's words and immediately spoke to stop Yuan Hao from leaving.
Yuan Hao blinked at Chen Xiaomu and said with a forced smile: "Master Jun, time is running out. I will take you to Qunfang Garden to see what's interesting there!"
Chen Xiaomu frowned and said sternly: "Yuan Guanjian, please explain to me the saying of feeding a dragon with one's body first, and then I will follow you to Qunfang Garden to have a look?"
"This...!" Yuan Hao suddenly stopped talking when he heard it, and he was stunned and didn't know how to explain it.
Chen Xiaomu ignored him, turned to the man in black in front of him, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, can you explain it to me?
The man in black rolled his eyelids and said rudely: "Who are you? Our Dragon Serving Hall only listens to the abbot and the supervisor. If the supervisor hadn't brought you in, I would have had you arrested and fed to the dragon!"
"Oh! You don't sound too petty!" Chen Xiaomu said coldly: "Do you know what is happening outside now?"
The man in black also said coldly: "I can't care about what happens outside, but no matter what happens in this dragon cave, I have to care about it!"
"Haha!" Chen Xiaomu sneered: "It seems that my brother is really a ghost who doesn't want to die!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately took a few steps back, stretched out his hand to pull out the sword hanging from his waist, and asked in shock: "Who are you? How dare you say such a thing to me!"
Chen Xiaomu said in a deep voice: "I am now officially informing you that the Sanqing Temple, including the former imperial fiefdoms and everything in the Sanqing Temple, belongs to the Zhengguo court. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can come out to challenge and keep them until they are beaten." Until you are convinced!"
The man in black was shocked when he heard that, and asked Yuan Hao in a trembling voice: "Master Guanjian, who is this? Is what he said true or false?"
Yuan Hao lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Xuan Tong, put your sword away! They are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. The Sanqing Temple is now surrounded by them inside and outside, and resistance is of no use anymore!"
"Ah!" Xuantong said in shock: "Master Guanjian, does the abbot know about this?"
"Alas!" Yuan Hao sighed and said helplessly: "Xuan Tong, your Dragon-Serving Hall is underground, and you rarely participate in the temple's affairs. To tell you the truth, the abbot became an immortal two hours ago!"
"Fang, Fangzhang Yu, have you transformed?" Xuantong was so shocked that he couldn't even speak fluently.
Yuan Hao nodded heavily and affirmed: "Yes, the abbot has become an immortal. For now, it is best for us to cooperate with the government so that my wife and children can leave Sanqing Temple safely!"
Xuantong gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't the Zheng Guo government too shameless? When the abbot was alive, the government had a lot of contacts with Sanqing Temple and the relationship was very close. Even the name of Sanqing Guan today is the name of Zheng Guo. The emperor gave it to him when he opened the conservatory, but now that the abbot’s body is still cold, the officials are rushing to collect it. Dare I ask if there is any justice in this world?”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomu sneered and said: "This brother has been feeding the giant python with live people all day long, and now he is asking me to ask for heavenly justice. I think the so-called heavenly justice you are talking about should be me asking for it from you, right?" "
When Xuantong heard about it, he immediately argued: "Those are all prisoners who have committed serious crimes. I let them live in the mouth of a dragon to accumulate their moral virtue. How can it be justified by heaven?"
Hearing these words, Chen Xiaomu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He said sternly: "That's just fart. When did your Sanqing Temple become a government office? What authority do you have to sentence people to death? It's a government office that sentences people. Capital crimes must be repeatedly reviewed by officials at all levels, and then reported to the Ministry of Punishment for approval before a person can be convicted of a capital crime!"
Xuantong was dissatisfied and said: "Our abbot is the crown prince, and he has the power of life and death against servants who make mistakes!"
Chen Xiaomu said angrily: "Don't say that he is no longer the crown prince, he is still the crown prince. He is just the crown prince of your Qi State. Now when he comes to Zheng State, he is just a commoner. Think about a commoner doing his best for him. The country that provided a place of refuge is not only ungrateful, but also kills innocent people here indiscriminately. It is no exaggeration to say that its crimes are heinous!"
Xuantong was speechless by Chen Xiaomu. He could only look at Yuan Hao like he was asking for help, hoping that he would stand up and save him. Yuan Hao simply lowered his eyelids, as if he was asleep, without even looking. Looking at him, there was a sudden roar in the python cave. There was a huge roar, and the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking. Xuantong heard the sound and said in panic: "Oh no, Taoist Supervisor, you are talking too much today, so Shenlong The meal time has been missed, and it’s starting to show off again! What should I do?”
"This...!" Yuan Hao rolled his eyes and blamed Chen Xiaomu. He cupped his hands and said to Chen Xiaomu: "Master Jun, this giant python is so powerful when it gets angry. I'm afraid even this python cave can't contain it. .”
Chen Xiaomu asked: "How did you deal with this kind of thing before?"
''Before, before..." Yuan Hao realized that he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Xuantong.
Xuantong thought Yuan Hao asked him to speak, so he blurted out: "Wrap two living people in linen and send them in!"
Chen Xiaomu was shocked: "What? This python actually wants to eat two people in one meal?"
Xuantong quickly shook his head and denied: "No, usually every six days you can wrap a living person in linen and send it in. If it loses its temper, you must wrap two people in it at the same time to make it better." Stop the rage!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaomu, Su Xingran and others felt horrified. Su Xingran couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you use pigs, sheep and other livestock instead? You have to use living people to feed this evil beast. Besides, where do you have so much work?" Do people feed it?"
Xuantong said helplessly: "Five years ago, we fed it pigs, sheep and other livestock. But later, I don't know who gave the Lord the idea. People in the temple who made big mistakes were no longer executed, but directly killed." Send it to the Dragon Serving Hall and feed it to the dragon raised by the Lord!"
"How can there be so many people in your temple who were fed to this python for making mistakes?" Su Xingran then asked.
Xuan Tong heard this and paused for a moment. He glanced at Yuan Hao first. Seeing that Yuan Hao still had no expression on his face and lowered his head like an old monk in trance, he continued: "Those who made minor mistakes before were generally imprisoned. Those who were put in the reflection room inside the temple, or suffered some physical pain, were rarely executed directly, but later on, regardless of the severity of their mistakes, most of them were sent to our Dragon Serving Hall to feed the dragon!"
At this time, the noise in the python cave became louder and louder. Several men in black hurriedly ran out of it and said to the mysterious passage: "Master, the person has been wrapped up. Should he be sent to the Dragon Room now?"
Xuantong heard that Chong Yuanhao cupped his fists and said, "Master Guanmon, why don't you calm down the dragon first? Otherwise, if it breaks free, everyone present may not be able to escape!"
Yuan Hao turned to look at Chen Xiaomu, "Master Jun, do you see...?"
Chen Xiaomu scolded: "What kind of dragon is not a divine dragon? This is a vicious beast that Xiao Cheng fed with human flesh. Now you must evacuate all the people inside, including those who are going to be fed to this evil beast." Come out, I will smash this evil beast to pieces!"
Upon hearing this, Xuantong waved his sword and shouted, "No, this is the dragon that the Lord has entrusted to me to take care of. No one of you can touch it, except I will fight to the death for whoever touches the Lord."
Chen Xiaomu didn't talk too much with him. In his heart, this person deserved to die. At this moment, he was willing to help him seek death. Chen Xiaomu reached out and pulled out his pistol, and while Xuantong was still swinging his sword and baring his teeth, he aimed it at his head. "Bang" was a shot. Because of the close distance, Xuantong's head was shot. He fell to the ground and squirmed twice before stretching out his legs and dying.
The men in black who ran out later were stunned for a moment. Yuan Hao had just experienced the power of the black guy in Chen Xiaomu's hand, and quickly shouted to the men in black who had not yet reacted: "Everything here has been handed over to the government. Take over, you just do what the military master ordered!"
Several men in black glanced at each other and raised their fists at Yuan Hao, "Yes, Taoist Supervisor."
As soon as he finished speaking, two loud "bang bang" sounds were heard from the python cave, and then someone shouted in a crazy tone: "Everyone, run quickly! The dragon broke through the dragon gate and rushed out. "
Followed by a burst of clattering footsteps, a group of men in black rushed over in a hurry. When they saw Chen Xiaomu, Yuan Hao and others, they just paused and ran past them.
Chen Xiaomu grabbed the man in black who was running at the end and asked: "Is there anyone else inside?" The man in black looked at Chen Xiaomu with a frightened expression. He shook his head first, and then stammered: "No, there is none left! "
"Really?" Chen Xiaomu said sternly: "If another person dies from the mouth of the python, I will kill your head!"
The man in black was startled and quickly changed his words: "Also, there are still seven people who are going to be fed to Shenlong who are locked up inside!"
Chen Xiaomu let go of the man in black and let him run for his life. He turned around and asked Yi Fang who was following him: "General Yi, do you have any explosives with you?"
Yi Fang hurriedly shook her head and persuaded: "Mr. Chen, let's evacuate first. When we get above, I will order the soldiers to put explosives in and blow up this python to death in this python cave!"
Su Xingran also advised: "Husband, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment and said to Li Gui: "Captain Li, give me the bag. You retreat first and I'll come and meet this giant python for a while!"
Su Xingran heard this and said hurriedly: "Husband, don't be impulsive. There are still many things for us to do. If you have an accident, what should I do?"
Chen Xiaomu chuckled and said: "What accident can happen to me? It's just a big snake. I'm afraid that the hands and feet of the seven people who are going to be fed to the python will be tied up, unable to resist, and allowed to be eaten by this giant python!"
At this time Yuan Hao sighed and said: "Master, you don't know something. This giant python has grown very fast since it switched to eating human flesh a few years ago. Now it is as thick as two people and more than ten feet long." , a pair of eyes are like two small lanterns in this dark python cave, able to clearly see everything inside, especially the huge mouth. Every time someone is sent in, they are separated by a distance of several feet. , you can suck people into your stomach with just one opening of your mouth! Far more powerful than those pythons hidden in Mangdang Mountain that your wife just mentioned!"
