Chapter 106: Standing the highest, being poisoned the fastest
After a while, after her frightened heart had calmed down, Qu Feiyan pointed at Master Wuhen's body on the ground and asked, "So what do we do with this guy now?"
Following the direction of Qu Feiyan's finger and looking at Master Wuhen's body on the ground, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Let it melt! At least give me a complete set."
After all, Chu Qinghe is not the kind of irresponsible person who would just kill and not bury.
Now that we have already killed Master Wuhen, we can't just leave his body exposed in the wilderness, right?
The obedient Qu Feiyan took out the corpse-dissolving powder and poured some on the body of Master Wuhen. As the body began to corrode and dissolve rapidly, Xiao Zhao at the side had already walked to the window and opened it.
Qu Feiyan gently waved her hands, and with the special energy brought by "Yihua Jieyu", she blew the smoke emitted by the corpse powder when it dissolved her body out of the window.
Looking at the two women's behavior, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder if the two girls had specifically discussed how to deal with the corpse after the New Year.
This cooperation is not ordinary tacit understanding.
After dissolving Master Wuhen's body until only his clothes were left, Qu Feiyan burned all of these things in the yard.
When they returned to the room, Qu Feiyan asked, "But this Master Wuhen was a master who had reached the consummation of the Grandmaster Realm. Now that he has suddenly died, no one will know that it was us who did it, right?"
Master Wuhen died, but the four maids were still there.
If someone wants to investigate in the future, maybe they can find out something through these four maids?
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Don't worry! Since Master Wuhen's actions have not been spread in the martial arts world for so many years, it is clear that he has done a good job of keeping it secret. The four maids probably don't know what Master Wuhen has done behind his back."
"Moreover, Master Wuhen's whereabouts have always been elusive. Even if someone wanted to investigate, after so many days, what could they find out in Nanyue City?"
So, the characteristics of small towns are reflected.
If it is a prosperous city like Beijing or Suzhou, once a problem occurs, many things can be investigated.
But in places like Nanyue City and Yu Shui City, the imperial power does not extend below the county level.
It is located in a remote area, and it would take at least several days or even half a month for someone to arrive here and find out the relevant information.
Who still remembers the specific things?
…
The next day.
The end of the Si hour.
Liu Zhengfeng's mansion was already full of distinguished guests. Whenever someone came with a visiting card, the servants in the front yard would shout.
"Master Xiao of Yuxiao Sect has arrived~"
"Boss Liu of Luoxia Clan has arrived~"
"Tianmen Chongxu Taoist Priest has arrived~"
…
Although the Spring Festival is approaching and everywhere is bustling, the liveliness in Liu Zhengfeng's house today is far greater than anywhere else.
However, less than three meters away from Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, there was a rooftop of a two-story building.
Seeing the bustling scene in Liu's house, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but turn her head and asked in confusion: "Master, why don't we go directly to the house to watch the ceremony, but watch from afar here?"
Chu Qinghe, who was sitting on the roof, supported his chin with one hand and gently raised the other hand in the air.
While feeling the direction of the wind, he said casually: "Which one do you choose, the turtle in the jar or the oriole behind?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed slightly and said: "Sir, do you mean that there will be problems with Uncle Liu's retirement ceremony today?"
After taking his hand back, he said lazily, "Not sure."
"ha?"
Facing Chu Qinghe's response, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were both puzzled.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly: "Now the Five Mountains Sword Sects are constantly fighting among themselves. The Songshan Sect is the only one that is dominant and is obsessed with annexing the other four sects. The Five Mountains Sword Sects are now a quagmire in themselves and are most likely to get into trouble."
"What's more, even if an ordinary Xiantian Realm warrior wants to quit the martial arts world, there may be some accidents. Not to mention that Liu Zhengfeng is from the Hengshan Sect. There is a high possibility that he will jump out of his way to stop him."
Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "Since this is just a guess, Uncle Liu's retirement plan may also be completed smoothly, right?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "It is possible, but what is the purpose of our coming here today?"
Qu Feiyan replied without thinking: "Watch Uncle Liu retire from the underworld, and see if my grandfather is here."
Chu Qinghe said: "Can we see it from this position now?"
Qu Feiyan turned her head to look at Liu Mansion and nodded, "The location you chose is right in front of the gate of Liu Mansion. It is high above and can also see the situation in the inner hall."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "That's it. This position allows you to watch Liu Zhengfeng retire from the underworld without being disturbed or making noise. If Liu Zhengfeng has completed his retirement and is sure that there is no problem, you can go and see him. You can also ask where your grandfather is. Why take this risk?"
"Did you watch those Jianghu Chronicles in the past in vain? How many people lost their lives just because they wanted to join in the fun? It's okay to watch the fun, but many times, if you're not careful, you might get yourself involved."
Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both looked thoughtful.
Chu Qinghe did not continue to speak about this.
After a while, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "So, you took us around the Liu Mansion last night just to choose this location today?"
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe responded lazily: "What else?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's response, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Having been alone outside for such a long time, Qu Feiyan has met many warriors.
But no one has ever been as steady as Chu Qinghe.
Whenever something happens, I start to prepare for it.
As if knowing what Qu Feiyan was thinking at this moment, Chu Qinghe said calmly: "Learn something. Unless you are strong enough to easily deal with any trouble in the future, otherwise, even if you are a warrior at the Grandmaster level or even the Heavenly Man level, you can only live longer if you are careful."
The reason why smart people give people the impression of being smart is not because of their high intelligence, but because they know how to judge the situation and plan ahead.
There is a saying that goes "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Since it feels like a dangerous wall, wouldn't it be enough to stay away from it?
This is also the reason why Chu Qinghe always makes some preparations as soon as he finds something wrong.
No matter it was when he faced Tian Boguang before, or when he faced Young Master Wuhen yesterday.
Trouble often comes from being afraid of trouble and not making preparations in advance.
The more preparation you make in advance, the less trouble you will encounter.
What we are competing for is who takes the first move.
After all, we only have one life. If you don't cherish it, you can't blame the King of Hell for knocking on your door.
"Yue Buqun of Huashan Sect has arrived~"
At this time, another loud voice came from the door of Liu Mansion.
Hearing the words "Huashan Sect", Chu Qinghe's attention was also drawn over.
Looking ahead, Chu Qinghe also saw a group of more than ten people.
The leader
It was Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Qi Sect, whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Innate Realm and nicknamed Gentleman Sword.
As if noticing Chu Qinghe's interest at this moment, Xiao Zhao followed Chu Qinghe's gaze and also looked at Yue Buqun and other people from Huashan Sect who were walking towards the inner hall.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao asked, "Sir, do you know the headmaster Yue of the Huashan Sect?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen it."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe shifted his gaze and fixed it on a disciple who was standing behind Yue Buqun with his head held high.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Huashan traitor, Linghu Chong.
As if he thought of something, Chu Qinghe shook his head gently, and looked at Yue Buqun who was communicating with others in the inner hall with a smile on his face, and there was a hint of silence in his eyes.
"A hypocrite has met an ungrateful wolf. Yue Buqun and Huashan Sect's Qi Zong are unlucky."
However, at this moment, as if he had noticed something, Chu Qinghe slowly turned his head.
As his sight shifted, Chu Qinghe saw several warriors dressed as deputy disciples of Songshan approaching quickly from a distance.
Afterwards, when Chu Qinghe looked around, he found that in addition to the people he had just seen, there were nearly a hundred Songshan disciples approaching Liu Zhengfeng's home quickly from different locations in the city.
"Here! Isn't trouble here?"
The sudden voice quickly attracted the attention of the two women sitting on the roof.
At Chu Qinghe's signal, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan also apparently discovered the disciples of Songshan Sect who were heading towards Liu Zhengfeng's house.
Gradually, as time passed, by noon, the ceremony of retiring from prison had already begun in Liu Zhengfeng's mansion.
When the ceremony began, some disciples of the Songshan School had already passed the backyard of Liu Zhengfeng's mansion.
However, just as these disciples of the Songshan School began to take action, Chu Qinghe, who was on the roof, did not focus his attention on Liu Zhengfeng's home, but continued to look at Nanyue City from his high position.
After a moment, Chu Qinghe frowned slightly without noticing anything unusual.
"Is that all?"
Chu Qinghe looked around but found nothing. He frowned slightly and then his interest suddenly faded.
A hundred breaths later, under the observation of the three people, after those who rushed into the backyard, another group of Songshan Sect disciples, led by a warrior in the middle stage of the Innate Realm, also quickly rushed in from the front door.
And he stopped Liu Zhengfeng from retiring as soon as possible.
In an instant, the uproar in Liu Zhengfeng's mansion was heard clearly even by Chu Qinghe and others.
"Um?"
However, at this moment, Chu Qinghe seemed to have sensed something wrong and his eyes suddenly swept towards a pretty little nun in the front hall of the Liu Mansion.
As his gaze focused on the little nun with a vaguely familiar face, Chu Qinghe's dusty memories quickly unraveled.
When looking at the little nun again, Chu Qinghe's brows gradually raised, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Originally, Chu Qinghe was still wondering how Dongfang Bubai would beat him when he came back after being pushed by Yao Yue yesterday.
But now, Chu Qinghe felt that it seemed that he didn't need to take this beating.
Thinking of this, Chu Qinghe looked at the little nun in the front hall who looked three points like Dongfang Bubai, and his eyes lit up slightly.
If it is said that Chu Qinghe came here just to watch the show and prevent Qu Feiyan from becoming an orphan in the future.
Now, Chu Qinghe discovered an unexpected surprise.
Afterwards, Chu Qinghe glanced at the people gathered in the front hall of Liu Zhengfeng's house and did not continue watching the show.
Putting his hand in the air again to feel the wind direction in the air, which was towards Liu Zhengfeng's house, Chu Qinghe put his hand into his arms.
When Chu Qinghe took his hand out again, there was a two-inch bottle in his hand.
As his internal force spread, the bottle in Chu Qinghe's hand was suddenly thrown out, like a bullet fired from a gun, flying towards Liu Zhengfeng's mansion at an extremely fast speed, and then hit the edge of the roof above the main hall.
Under the powerful impact and collision, the bottle shattered instantly, and the venom originally in the bottle also scattered instantly, some of which stuck to the bricks and tiles at the edge of the roof, and some of which fell from the air.
If someone were to observe closely at this time, they would certainly be able to discover that the venom that was originally stuck to the edge of the roof and that was scattered from the air would quickly turn into poison gas and then become wisps of smoke in the air and spread with the wind.
Although the sound made during this process was extremely small, everyone in the main hall and at the door of the main hall heard the sound of the bottle breaking.
Especially the people from Songshan School who were standing at the entrance of the main hall, the first thing they looked at when they heard the sound was the steps at the entrance of the main hall.
When he looked at the fragments of ordinary porcelain bottles scattered on the ground, his eyes slightly raised in surprise, but then he looked away.
No one paid attention to this little thing.
However, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan noticed Chu Qinghe's behavior and couldn't help asking, "Master, what kind of poison are you using? I've never seen anything like this before."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Sad and soft breeze."
"Sad and refreshing breeze?"
Hearing the name of the poison said by Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both looked puzzled.
As if knowing what Qu Feiyan would ask next, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "After being poisoned, tears fall like rain, which is called 'sorrow'. The whole body cannot move, which is called 'crispness'. The poison gas is colorless and odorless, which is called 'clear breeze'. However, a few herbs have been added to the recipe. It won't make you cry, but your cultivation will be sealed and you will faint."
Now Chu Qinghe is about three meters away from Liu Zhengfeng's residence .
This does not include the angle of the diagonal line.
At this distance, if one still wants to use conventional medicine powder, it would probably take several sacks of it to be spread all over the place before the poison can reach Liu Zhengfeng's mansion.
After learning about the effect of Chu Qinghe's poison, Qu Feiyan looked at Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, estimated the distance and couldn't help but ask: "There are so many people in the main hall, is the young master's small bottle a little less?"
"Eh? Feiyan, look at that rooftop."
However, before Chu Qinghe could respond, Xiao Zhao suddenly touched Qu Feiyan.
At Xiao Zhao's suggestion, Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan shifted their gaze to Liu Zhengfeng's house.
But at this moment, there was an extra figure on the roof of the front hall where Liu Zhengfeng and others were sitting.
When he saw this figure, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa?"
However, when he saw Qu Yang's figure on the roof, Chu Qinghe suddenly glanced at the bricks and tiles in his hands that he had not put back, and then looked at Qu Yang on the roof again, and suddenly said "Oh" in his heart.
Almost at the moment when Chu Qinghe's two words full of apology echoed in his mind, in the sight of Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, Qu Yang, who had just jumped onto the roof, suddenly softened and fell down.
Then it rolled one circle, two circles, and at an increasingly faster speed it fell from the roof to the door of the main hall.
The moment Qu Yang landed, Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao, and Qu Feiyan all seemed to hear a “bang” in their heads.
In an instant, Qu Feiyan, who had just looked so happy when she saw Qu Yang, completely froze.
After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan came back to her senses and looked at Chu Qinghe with resentment on her face.
Facing Qu Feiyan's gaze at this time, Chu Qinghe spread his hands and said, "Don't blame me. I didn't know your grandfather would suddenly climb onto the roof at this time."
When it comes to planning, sometimes there will be some unexpected factors.
Just like what happened now when Qu Yang suddenly went up to the room.
The higher you stand, the faster you will be poisoned.
at the same time.
In the Liu Mansion.
You know, everyone in this main hall right now is skilled in martial arts.
There are even several masters in the innate realm.
Naturally, the noise coming from the roof was also heard clearly by everyone in the main hall.
However, before the people in the main hall could react, they saw a black shadow falling from the sky and then falling heavily to the ground.
The "bang" sound caused everyone in the main hall to twitch their eyelids.
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that the fall must have been quite serious.
When everyone looked at the unconscious person standing at the door of the main hall, their eyes froze.
"Hmm? Demon Cult Elder, Qu Yang?"
When everyone in the main hall realized the identity of the person who fell from the sky and fainted, they were stunned.
On the righteous way to open the door, what is it like for the elder of the Demon Sect to fall from the sky and faint? The expression of the Songshan School warrior in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm changed drastically, and he drew out the two long swords on his back without thinking.
However, just when this Xiantian realm warrior from the Songshan School had just pulled out the two long swords on his back and had not taken any further action, he suddenly felt as if the strength in his body was instantly drained away. As the long swords in his hands fell, his body also fell limply to the ground.
After the disciples of Songshan School at the door fell to the ground and lost consciousness due to the effect of the poison, the others in the main hall also fainted one after another.
Just like that, within just a dozen breaths, the mansion that had been somewhat noisy before suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
