Chapter 86
There are many mountains and rivers in Jiangling Prefecture...

There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are also miasma and poisonous insects.

Xiyu Valley belongs to the latter, because it is close to a swamp, the valley is full of miasma, and there are many poisonous things like snakes, scorpions, spiders and toads.

For ordinary people, wanting to live here is tantamount to nonsense;
But for some special groups of people who practice poison kung fu, this place is also a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Hundreds of years ago, a master of poison kung fu in the Jianghu picked this point, took root in this valley of Xiyu, practiced, and established the Five Poison Sect...

With the blessing of the right time and place, the Five Poisons Sect has developed into a rare sect in the Jianghu...

At this time in Xiyu Valley...

Xiang Shao sat in the main hall of the teaching center with an ugly face, playing with the petite emerald green poisonous snake with one hand, and gently tapping on the armrest of the seat with the other...

It's just that the frequency of his tapping is fast and slow, without rhythm, which seems to reflect his restless heart.

In a short time, the Five Poison Sect, from the elder protectors to the congregants, all rushed over, the high-ranking ones took their seats, and the low-ranking ones stood behind...

Because some poison skills require the cooperation of poisonous substances to practice. Some of them play poisonous silkworms, some use poisonous scorpions, and some play with toads. There are all kinds of poisons.

Ordinary people see the poison that will make the whole body cold, but in their eyes, it is as indispensable as brothers and feet...

Several elders of the Five Poison Sect saw that the leader's expression was not good, and after looking at each other, the elder coughed lightly and asked, "Master, why did you call me here?"

"Why?"

Xiang Shao snorted coldly, and asked: "Didn't I tell you before the retreat that the imperial court's hawks and dogs might attack our Jianghu sect...

Tell you to be careful outside, be careful, don't get caught by others, but how did you do it! ? "

"..."

The congregation of the Five Poisons Sect didn't say a word. Although the elders were a little embarrassed, they still had a bit of disdain on their faces...

"Don't talk? OK..."

As Xiang Shao said, he took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table, and reprimanded him in a cold voice: "In mid-July, twelve yamen servants from Jiangling Mansion came to collect the tax for the season...

After returning, they were all poisoned, eight people died, and the rest were disabled.

Shortly thereafter, the family of the deceased filed a complaint, and the yamen servants in the mansion came to investigate. After returning, three more people died, and the rest were seriously poisoned.

At the beginning of August, someone went to the government office with the intention of being private, and became angry after being rejected, and threatened to make him look good! ! "

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and finally he slapped the table and cursed: "I have only retreated for one month, and you are so stiff with the government. Then I will retreat for three to five months. Is the Five Poison Sect just a big blow?" The flag rebelled!?"

"..."

The Great Elder of the Five Poisons Sect didn't look too good-looking, and he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Master, this is not what we want, but the official government servant is aggressive because of his status. I really can't stand the congregation... "

"It's just..."

Another elder also chimed in: "Our relationship with that court eagle dog is already in dire straits, and now even a small yamen servant dares to shit on our necks, how unreasonable is that?"

The Dharma protector at the side also comforted: "Master, you don't need to worry too much, it's not like you haven't done this kind of thing before, so what if they know about it?
Didn't it just go away in the end? "

Xiang Shao's temples on both sides twitched when he heard it, and then he thought of something, sighed and said: "This is different from the past, you... oh..."

When they went to the capital to assassinate Emperor Yonghe, although the five of them covered their faces and figures, and tried not to let others see the moves they had learned, no one can guarantee that they will not be found out.

The fact that the prince was deposed is not a secret in the palace, but people in the world don't know it...

So he only believed that the prince did not spread any news to avoid suspicion, which is understandable;
But not long ago, the Prajna Temple openly attacked the government servants like crazy, and then the sect was wiped out, which scared him into a cold sweat...

The Great Elder of the Five Poisons Sect saw the leader's complexion turning green and then pale, and he said in relief, "You don't have to worry, the leader, our Five Poisons Sect has been operating in Xiyu Valley for a hundred years, and the environment here is well known to the outside world.

Let me put it more harshly, so what if the government sends troops to encircle and suppress us, how many people will they send?

As far as our environment is concerned, as far as our methods are concerned, [-] yuan will come and go, but it can feed the poisonous insects in the mountains; [-] to [-] will not be able to transfer them in a short while..."

...............

at the same time…

The vanguard of the West Factory has already arrived at Jiangling Mansion first...

The superintendents were divided into two groups, some of them went to meet with the local spies, the Jifeng Division, and secretly controlled the small strongholds and eyeliners on the surface of the Five Poison Sect, so that they could not pass back the news;

Some of them went to the official residence of the governor of Jiangling Mansion, dispatched soldiers stationed there, and dispatched troops directly to Xiyu Valley, blocking the large and small external passages...

At this time, Xu Boqing was still in the carriage...

He had nothing to do during the half a month of his journey, and he almost never left Zhang Taixu's several books, studying the true meaning of the books every day.

Because "Qi Ben Lun" is a manuscript written by Zhang Taixu himself, he can feel the true meaning of the book, and he has studied it the most.

His own insights are consistent with the various expositions in the book, and "On Dialectics", "On Cognition", and "On Human Nature" are also external and internal, and complement each other. 'The opportunity to travel beyond the sky'.

Combining the three, he even vaguely realized the reason why he was still a 'mortal body', and roughly figured out the way forward for him...

As if separated by a layer of film, he clearly felt the road to the sky, but the time is not yet ripe, and it still takes time to pave that road!
It will take time...to be reborn!
At this time, Jiang Jin was driving the carriage, glanced behind him from the corner of the eye, and his face could not help showing a bit of fright...

He is not only a groom, but also a master of martial arts at the peak of the Acquired Realm. During this time of rushing, he can clearly feel the governor's aura becoming deeper and more ethereal...

Seeing that Governor was engrossed, he hesitated and said softly: "Master Governor, we have already reached the area of ​​Xiyu Valley, and the surrounding preparations have been completed..."

"Ok?"

Xu Boqing was engrossed in watching it, and felt a little unhappy after being disturbed. He wanted to reprimand him, but when he recovered, he remembered that the destination of this trip had arrived...

He put down the ancient book in his hand with a slight frown, and also smelled the peculiar smell of earth near the swamp. After getting out of the carriage, he had a panoramic view of Xiyu Valley.

"The Five Poisons Sect is here?"

"Reporting to the governor, the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect is in this Xiyu Valley..."

Jiang Jin stepped forward and explained: "Although the followers of the Five Poison Sect are few, almost all of them are masters of using poison. In addition, they have the right time and place, and few people commit crimes. They have been operating here for hundreds of years..."

"Um……"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly with his eyes moving, and asked, "Have people blocked all the exits of this Xiyu Valley?"

"The humble official has sent heavy troops to set up ambushes at every exit, even a fly in this valley can't even think of flying out of it."

Jiang Jin pondered for a while, and said, "Master Governor, there are many poisonous miasmas and insects in this forest, so it is not suitable for troops to fight."

Immediately, the voice paused, and he continued with a ruthless look: "If things are dry today, I suggest pouring fire oil in the surrounding forests to burn Xiyugu and force them out!!"

"..."

Xu Boqing shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome. I'll go in and catch the leader of the thief. Watch the exits and don't let people run away."

After finishing talking, I walked directly into the valley like a stroll in the garden...

His pace was not in a hurry, but it was as if he had performed the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch in the scriptures. With one step, he appeared tens of feet away...

Jiang Jin's face twitched, and he wanted to persuade the governor to think twice, but when he opened his mouth, he froze there, blinking blankly, and then realized that the governor's back had disappeared from sight...
