"puff--"
The half-cut knife struck Sun Jingzhen on his right shoulder.
Cut off at the root.
The blood spurted out far away.
Sun Jingzhen let out a shrill scream.
His face twitched.
Body shaking.
But he couldn't break free from the skill effect of "drawing the ground as a prison", and could only watch blood spurting from his right shoulder.
There was no expression on Xu Taiping's face.
He placed the bloody broken knife on Sun Jingzhen's left shoulder.
He asked coldly: "Do you still want this arm?"
Sun Jingzhen was shocked. He endured the excruciating pain and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Okay, answer my question!"
"You asked."
"Who killed more than a hundred people in Xiaowang Village?"
Sun Jingzhen shuddered, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth.
Xu Taiping sneered.
Don't ask further.
He just slowly raised the half-cut knife.
The broken knife was raised high.
The blood stains on the blade dripped down the blade.
Gather into drops of blood.
It dripped on Sun Jingzhen's left shoulder.
One drop.
Two drops.
Three drops.
Every drop of blood on his shoulders made Sun Jingzhen shake.
By the time of the fifth drop, I could no longer hold back the powerful fear and cried out: "Don't cut, I said, I said..."
Xu Taiping then repeated the question coldly: "Who is the murderer who killed more than 100 people in Xiaowang Village?"
"It's Cao Xin and Wang Zengfu."
"Who is Wang Zengfu?"
"The son of the predecessor Baozheng is enshrined by the Tianxia Gang in Xiaowang Village."
Xu Taiping was shocked. He put a knife on Sun Jingzhen's neck and asked sternly: "Wang Ruiniang's father?"
"yes!"
"Then why did Cao Xin kill him?"
"No, Wang Zengfu is not dead. It was a play, performed for outsiders to see. It was a trick to hide the truth. In fact, Cao Xin and Wang Zengfu have always had a good relationship. It was Wang Zengfu who took the initiative to give up his position of righteousness to Cao Xin. So These two people have been fooling everyone in Xiaowang Village for many years."
When Xu Taiping heard this, his hair stood on end.
Chills all over.
The hairs all over his body stood up.
There is infinite fear arising from the mind.
A show that lasted over two decades?
What are these two people trying to do?
What's more, there was another drama of fake death.
What is the purpose?
Xu Taiping took a few deep breaths and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Then, his eyes opened suddenly.
His eyes were even colder.
Staring into Sun Jingzhen's eyes: "What do they want to do?"
"This..." Sun Jingzhen was sweating profusely and blood was flowing wildly, but he still couldn't hide the fear in his heart and hesitated whether to answer this question.
Hesitating.
He raised his head and met Xu Taiping's dead eyes. It was as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and he suddenly woke up: "They..."
Speaking of which.
Take a deep breath.
He gritted his teeth and said, "They want to practice."
"Practice?"
"Yes, it is an ancient magic skill. First, the formation is set up, and then the formation is maintained with the secret techniques of Feng Shui. After the formation is completed, hundreds of lives are filled in. Finally, the practitioner enters the formation with his body and activates the formation. It only takes a few hours. It can transform practitioners into extremely powerful martial arts cultivators."
"Wang Zengfu!"
Sun Jingzhen sighed and let go completely: "It was the plan of Wang Zengfu and his father Wang Yong. In order to avoid attracting attention, Wang Zengfu also gave up the position of Baozheng to Cao Xin, and then there were more than 20 years of preparations. To be precise, It’s twenty-one years.”
Xu Taiping had guessed that Wang Zengfu and Cao Xin had big plans.
I didn't expect it, but it turned out to be such a plan.
It took twenty-one years.
and the lives of hundreds of villagers.
Just to create a powerful martial arts cultivator.
How strong will it be?
Sun Jingzhen sighed again: "Master realm."
"hiss--"
Xu Taiping couldn't help but gasped.
Master level martial arts cultivation!
horrible!
Twenty years of planning and more than a hundred lives can transform ordinary people into master-level martial arts cultivators.
If this secret technique spreads, the people of the world will become a cultivation resource for ambitious people.
People will no longer be human.
The country will no longer be a country.
Not only will the world be in chaos.
Even more lives will be lost.
Everyone has the potential to become a spiritual resource for stronger people.
That is a master level martial arts cultivator.
For a normal person, it takes at least thirty or forty years from entering Taoism to practicing martial arts to reach the master level, and it must be smooth all the way. If you are stuck in a certain realm, you may not be able to break through until your death.
There are very few martial arts cultivators who can reach the master level.
But now, as long as you plan twenty years in advance and sacrifice more than a hundred people, you can directly become a master-level martial arts cultivator.
Who is not moved?
Especially when the world is in turmoil, the imperial court has no time to protect itself, so how can it care about these people at the lowest level?
All kinds of horrible images come to mind.
Xu Taiping couldn't help it anymore: "Where is this formation?"
"It's in Xiaowang Village."
"more specific!"
"Xiaowang Village is just a big formation, which Wang Zengfu and Cao Xin spent twenty years renovating."
"Where is that array of eyes?"
"I don't know," Sun Jingzhen sighed: "I came to Xiaowang Village just to look for the formation eye and wait for an opportunity to destroy it. However, they hid it too deep. They searched for a year but never found it."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he frowned again: "You are also from the Tianxia Gang, why did you want to ruin Cao Xin and Wang Zengfu's affairs?"
"The Tianxia Gang is the Tianxia Gang, and the poor Taoists are the poor Taoists. The Tianxia Gang has millions of people from bottom to top, and it is common for them to dislike each other."
Xu Taiping took another deep breath.
Go over this information carefully in your mind.
Prioritize.
Determine the target.
Then, he sneered: "So, you are a good person."
Sun Jingzhen gritted his teeth and responded: "Pindao is not a good person, but he has a bottom line. The purpose of Pindao joining the Tianxia Gang is to overthrow the decadent Jin Dynasty and restore peace to the people of the world."
Does Xu Taiping believe it?
Ten thousand people don’t believe it.
This thief is more cunning than Cao Xin.
One set on the surface and another on the inside.
He seems to be a righteous man, but in fact he is sinister and ruthless.
It's definitely not a good thing.
Trying to break through the formation and prevent Wang Zengfu from accepting transformation?
Hahaha.
If you are really serious, why don’t you just report it to the official?
If it doesn’t work in the county, go to the county.
If the county cannot go to the state, you can even go to Shenjing to file a complaint.
What's more, there are six gates all over the country, and the six gates are under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. If they really receive this kind of information, they will never sit idly by and ignore it.
You can even gather like-minded people to look for the formation and stop Cao Xin and Wang Zengfu.
But he didn't.
Just squat on the mountain.
What to do?
What about being a ranger?
Therefore, this thief must be harboring other bad thoughts.
Xu Taiping was not sure about Sun Jingzhen's motives.
But based on years of experience in reading novels, movies, TV shows, and anime, it’s definitely not a good thing.
You can't disbelieve what this kind of person says, but you can't believe everything.
The most important thing is to use your own brain to distinguish between true and false.
If you really can't tell the difference, then...listen to his words and watch his actions.
Words can lie.
But behavior does not.
Clear your mind.
Xu Taiping put away the broken knife dripping with blood and patted Sun Jingzhen's left shoulder: "I can't tell that you, a traitor, still have some conscience."
Sun Jingzhen forced out a painful smile: "I dare not lie in front of Mr. Xu."
"Okay, I will ask you one last question. If the answer is correct, I will spare your life."
"Excuse me, Mr. Xu."
"Cao Xin and Wang Zengfu are the main conspirators, so who is the main murderer? Who killed the villagers one by one in the most brutal way?"
"It's a mandrill."
"Mandrill?"
"Yes," Sun Jingzhen gritted his teeth and said, "There is a mountain temple in the village. There is a temple in the temple called Wang Liulang. Wang Liulang uses the fixed-point divinity of the mountain temple to control a mandrill that has become a climate. Wang Liulang only listens to Wang Zengfu alone."
At this point, he added bitterly: "Pindao is stationed on the mountain to guard against that beast, but... alas!"
