Through the curtain, I smelled a strong stench and almost thought it was vomiting.
How should I put it? The stench is like the rotten smell emitted by a corpse after it has been rotting for more than ten days. As soon as you get close to it, you will feel dizzy and even have a feeling of suffocation.
What is going on with Taoist Qianyang? Why does his body emit such a weird stench?
Thinking of this, I became more and more curious and wanted to find out what was going on with Taoist Priest Qianyang.
"Why, Master Ding, I am concerned about the condition of Taoist Qianyang, do you want to stop it too?"
I frowned and said to Head Ding dissatisfied.
"President Cheng, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Ding Busan quickly explained: "Qianyang is suffering from a severe cold and it is not convenient to see people. If you are infected, I cannot bear the responsibility."
"Ahem..."
Taoist priest Qian Yang on the hospital bed coughed twice and said in a trembling voice: "President Cheng, thank you very much for your concern. After Qian Yang recovers, he will definitely go to the association to express his gratitude in person."
I naturally knew that Taoist Master Qianyang had openly attacked me several times and wanted to take Wu Zi away, so of course he did not dare to show up in front of me.
I also understood that Ding Busan would never let Taoist Qianyang show up, so I smiled lightly and did not persist.
"Forget it, in that case, let's talk again after you recover."
"Taoist Priest Qianyang, please take good care of yourself and we won't disturb you too much."
After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the room.
Ding Busan followed him out. After seeing the door closed, he took a deep breath and seemed to relax a lot.
At this time, an inner disciple came over and whispered a few words to Ding Busan. Ding Busan nodded and then walked up to me.
"President Cheng, the dinner is ready. Please follow me."
"Master Ding has taken the trouble."
I cupped my hands, and then followed Ding Busan, leaving the courtyard and walking into a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall, there is a large round table, with all kinds of delicacies already on it.
There were several Taoist priests in robes standing in the room. They seemed to be senior elders of the Shangqing Sect.
"Guys, please take a seat."
Ding Busan waved his hand and politely greeted us to sit down.
"Oh, Master Ding is really generous. Do you monks also eat chicken, duck and fish?"
Looking at the table full of wine and meat, Bai Ze couldn't help but said mockingly.
"Haha, this brother is just kidding. Our Shangqing sect are all vegetarians. We bought these chicken, duck and fish from the foot of the mountain to entertain the few people who came here."
An elder said with a smile on his face.
These so-called elders really lied without drafting, I couldn't help but sneer.
If I hadn't seen how the disciples of the Shangqing Sect plundered supplies at the foot of the mountain, I would probably believe him now.
"Thank you for your trouble."
I didn't expose it in public, I just said it politely.
"Here and there, Chairman Cheng is here. We must entertain him well. You're welcome."
The elder said proudly.
After the food and wine were served, the dinner officially began. Ding Busan was very enthusiastic and toasted to me frequently.
The other elders of the Shangqing Sect were also full of honorifics, and they gave me a lot of disgusting compliments.
"It is truly an honor for us, the Shangqing Sect, to have President Cheng come to our Shangqing Sect to guide us today."
"President Cheng is very promising at this young age. Under your leadership, the Yin Yang Association will definitely develop better and better!"
"We, the Shangqing Sect, are proud to have such an outstanding president as President Cheng!"
It seems that these so-called virtuous people are all sycophants. They have long been accustomed to these disgusting compliments, and they say them all smoothly without blushing.
I deliberately pretended to be drunk. After just one drink, I staggered around and looked drunk.
"No, I drank too much. I need to drink some water."
I stood up staggeringly and was about to walk out.
"President Cheng, don't leave. Where are you now? Come have another drink."
An elder quickly stepped forward and stopped me, holding two full glasses of wine in his hand.
"Elder, I'll drink with you!"
Before I could say anything, Bai Ze immediately stepped forward, took the elder's wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and at the same time quietly winked at me.
Lonnie and Jingjing also took the opportunity to raise their glasses to the other elders and Ding Busan, giving me the opportunity to slip out.
Brother Bai, Ni, Jingjing, it’s up to you here!
I secretly thought, turned around and walked out of the hall. When I walked out of the door, I saw that no one was following me, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace and quickly walked towards a corner.
At this time, the night has darkened, and the entire Taoist temple is empty and lonely. The sandalwood incense during the day has been burned out, and there is no longer the scent of incense ash to cover it. The bloody smell during the day has become more and more intense.
After I looked around and confirmed that no one was there, I followed the bloody smell and walked along the root of the wall to the backyard, passed through a corridor, walked around a bamboo forest, and stopped in front of a stone wall.
That bloody aura came from behind the wall. If you want to find the source, you have to climb over the wall.
But this is not a difficult thing for me now. The energy in my body is circulating. I bend my legs and knees. After accumulating strength, I suddenly bounce. I jump over the stone wall and land on the other side. side.
After landing, I rolled several times before quietly standing up and starting to look around.
Inside this stone wall is a small courtyard, surrounded by stone walls on all sides, without even a door to enter or exit.
Right in front of the courtyard, there was a small room with the door closed. I could hear faint sounds of crying coming from inside.
I tiptoed and walked to the door. I saw a copper lock hanging on the door latch. The smell of blood came from this house!
I reached out and groped around in the Qiankun bag, and soon took out a piece of iron wire. I fiddled with it in the keyhole, and with a snap, the copper lock opened.
Carefully taking off the copper lock, I slowly opened the door and walked in.
The room was dark. I lit a fire folding book and held it high. The scene in the whole room was immediately clearly displayed in my sight.
There were several large vats on the left side of the room. The vats were filled with blood, and bright red blood was almost overflowing from them.
There are several piles of dry firewood in the right corner of the wall. Under the dry firewood, there are more than a dozen women hiding together, shivering.
These women were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and skinny muscles. They looked to be in their twenties at most. They looked at me with eyes full of fear.
I was very puzzled. Just as I was about to take a step forward, the women screamed in fear.
"Help, don't kill us!"
