The one who ambushed Liu Shuyuan on the night of the third day of March was indeed the Black Lotus Sect.
Moreover, their main targets are probably Lao Zhangtou and his granddaughter, and Liu Shuyuan is just a helper.
However, judging from the subsequent search along the Rafzi River by Black Lotus Sect members, their ambush was not successful, allowing Liu Shuyuan, Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni to break out and run away.
It's just a pity that the more than one hundred heroes of the Demon Division in Luocheng Town were almost wiped out.
But it was precisely because of the huge sacrifice of the Demon Division of Luocheng Town that Liu Shuyuan, Lao Zhangtou, and Zhang Xiaoni were able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Qin Shaoyou sighed in his heart and asked, "Have you found Lao Zhangtou and his granddaughter?"
The two followers of the Black Lotus Sect were tried separately.
The first one said he didn't find it, and the second one said he didn't know.
The Black Lotus believer who said he didn't know anything also provided Qin Shaoyou with a clue: "Bodhisattva, you should ask Yongli about this matter. He is a formal believer and knows more than us."
After Qin Shaoyou asked, he found out that these two Black Lotus sect believers had been in the assessment stage and failed to become official believers because they had never dared to kill anyone and had not submitted a certificate of surrender.
Their status is somewhat similar to that of the outer disciples of the Xiuzhen sect. They taught some superficial skills with Black Lotus and in exchange, helped the Black Lotus sect with all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
It is no wonder that the mental resistance of the two of them is not as good as Zheng Tu and Yong Li, because they have not learned the Black Lotus Curse at all.
But Qin Shaoyou was also a little confused. Since these two people were only outer disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, how did they escape the purge led by Xue Qingshan?
After some questioning, the two men told the whole story one after another.
It turned out that precisely because they were only outer disciples and were not qualified to have contact with too many formal followers of the Black Lotus Sect, only one person who preached to them knew about them.
However, when Xue Qingshan led his team into Mianyuan County, he was discovered because he wanted to warn his companions, and he tried to violently resist arrest. As a result, he was killed by the night watchman with a knife and executed on the spot.
Once this man died, no one in Mianyuan County knew the identity of the two outer disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, so they were not exposed, and they were lucky to escape.
It's a pity that Skynet is sparse and not leaking.
Although they escaped for a while, they could not escape forever, and finally fell into Qin Shaoyou's hands.
But Qin Shaoyou still has a question: "How did you get in touch with Yong Li?"
"Last month, we saw the Black Lotus Sect's contact codes in the city, and we followed those codes to find him..."
Although the answers of the two outer disciples of the Black Lotus Sect were different in details, the general meaning was still the same.
Qin Shaoyou asked them how to draw the contact codes, where they should be drawn, what they meant, etc., and recorded them in detail, and planned to send people to draw these codes everywhere in the city later.
If there are still remnants of the Black Lotus Sect in the city, just lure them out and kill them.
After comparing the contact codes and confirming that both of them gave the same information, Qin Shaoyou nodded with satisfaction and said jokingly to the outer disciple of the Black Lotus Sect who was finally interrogated: "You have accomplished a great feat this time."
This outer disciple of the Black Lotus Sect was still immersed in the illusion. He really thought Qin Shaoyou was a Bodhisattva in the Black Lotus Sect, or a high-level one, so he was very excited.
"Bodhisattva, can I be promoted to a formal believer with this merit?"
Qin Shaoyou was indeed professionally trained. He held back his laughter and said seriously: "I'm afraid I have no chance of becoming a formal believer, but I can give you some other rewards."
"What reward?"
"Ming Zhengdian punishment!"
"ah?"
This outer disciple of the Black Lotus Sect was stunned after hearing Qin Shaoyou's words.
He really couldn't understand why he was still being punished when he had clearly made meritorious deeds.
You are a Bodhisattva of the Black Lotus Sect, and you are not a night watchman of the Demon Suppression Department. How can you understand the code and correct the punishment?
So he hurriedly cried out: "Bodhisattva is wronged. I am loyal to the Black Lotus Sect. I only have merit and no fault."
How did he know that it was precisely because of his loyalty to the Black Lotus Sect and his merits and demerits that he was to be punished?
Qin Shaoyou ignored him, turned around and left the torture room, called several night watchmen who were proficient in torture techniques, and asked them to continue to torture the two outer disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, asking them how they had helped Black Lotus over the years. What harmful things did the teacher do?
These are the evidence that they were sentenced to death!
Several night watchmen who were good at torture shouted in response and entered the two torture rooms.
Although the screams of the two outer disciples of the Black Lotus Sect could not be heard because of the soundproof formation, Qin Shaoyou could guess their situation.
They deserve this!
You can't be lenient when dealing with evil spirits.
Qin Shaoyou then went to the torture room where Yongli was.
At this time, Yong Li had become unrecognizable to Qin Shaoyou - he was covered with centipede poisons.
These centipede gu are big and small, the big one is like a baby's arm, and the small one is only about an inch long. They are all gnawing at Yongli's flesh and blood with their head and tail swaying, and it is a joy to eat.
Being devoured by thousands of insects is an extremely painful torture, but the fangs of these centipede Gu also contain neurotoxins, which can greatly enhance Yong Li's physical sensation, making him feel excruciating pain and unbearable itching at the same time.
Official Yong almost went crazy.
Even Qin Shaoyou felt a little creepy when he saw the centipede Gu crawling all over Yong Li's body.
The several night watchmen who were guarding the torture room with Qiu Shi looked even more ugly and subconsciously moved away from Qiu Shi.
Qin Shaoyou retracted his gaze from sizing up Yong Li, raised his hand to Qiu Shi, and asked, "Brother Qiu, how is the progress?"
"Not in a hurry."
Qiu Shi was sitting on a chair, teasing his beloved golden silkworm Gu.
Hearing Qin Shaoyou's inquiry, he raised his head and grinned: "Don't worry, let's play with this person first. These little cuties of mine haven't played with such a big toy for a long time."
Little cutie...
It is really hard for Qin Shaoyou to imagine how those hideous and terrifying centipede gu can be compared with cuteness.
Qiu Shi, on the other hand, after saying these words, tapped Golden Silkworm Gu's little head with his hand and signaled: "You can go and play too."
This chubby golden silkworm actually understood Qiu Shi's words and immediately turned into a golden light and shot towards Yong Li.
The centipede Gu crawling on Yong Li's body saw the boss coming and hurriedly gave way, retreating away from Yong Li's head like a tide.
Only then did Yong Li take the opportunity to scream.
But as soon as his cry started, it stopped again.
Because the golden silkworm Gu got directly into his mouth, and the centipede Gu that had just retreated came back again, submerging his head again.
Qiu Shi clapped his hands and smiled at Qin Shaoyou: "If you have something to do, go and get busy. I will inform you when he is willing to explain."
Qin Shaoyou is really in trouble.
The dead fish eyes in the pot...ah, they were looking up at the stars and still waiting for him.
So he nodded and said, "Then thank you, Senior Brother Qiu."
After a pause, he looked at Yongli worriedly and warned: "Senior Brother Qiu, this person is quite important. Don't torture him to death."
Qiu Shi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will act in a measured manner."
Qin Shaoyou looked at Yong Li, who was covered in centipede poisons and bitten until his skin was torn and blood was flying everywhere, and he thought to himself, are you being measured?
Then how terrible would it be if you had no sense of measure?
Qiu Shi guessed what he was thinking, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, I fed him a medicinal Gu in advance, which can not only protect his internal organs and blood vessels, but also help him heal his injuries. So, don't It looks like he was bitten badly, but they are all superficial injuries and cannot kill anyone."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, for him, this situation is worse than death."
Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as people don't die, that's fine.
After leaving the torture room, Qin Shaoyou called several night watchmen who had learned the art of Gu and asked them to learn from Taoist Master Qiu Shi.
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, these people were stunned when they saw the Gu insects released by Taoist Qiu Shi.
You want us to learn from Taoist Master Qiu Shi?
Doesn't this mean asking schoolchildren who have just learned the Three Character Classic to take the imperial examination and write articles on governing the country?
We can't do it!
Seeing the expressions of these people, Taoist Master Qiu Shi burst out laughing: "It's okay, I can teach you from the basics. Anyway, it's just idle time. It depends on whether you learn faster or he persists longer."
