Hanging up and cultivating immortality in the troubled times

Chapter 13 The Ten Thousand Poison Sect of Southern Miao Kingdom
"Black Snake Jade!" Pei Zhiqing recognized it at a glance and said with some surprise, "No wonder he is good at using hidden weapons, hiding, and hurting people secretly. He turns out to be a black snake-level expert from the Snake Character Department of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."

"Ten Thousand Poison Sect? Snake Character Department?" Lu Heng was very unfamiliar with this. There was no relevant information in his original memory. He said bluntly, "It sounds like an evil sect."

"It's not just evil, it's more appropriate to say it's evil." Pei Zhiqing shook her head slightly, and then explained it, without asking Lu Heng why he didn't even know this information that everyone in the world knew.

This Ten Thousand Poison Sect is one of the twelve evil paths rumored in the world. It is famous for its destructive and ruthless martial arts skills and its good use of hidden weapons and poisons.

However, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is not a Daqi sect, but the state religion of the Southern Miao Kingdom. It is called the Ten Thousand Poison Sect there, and its leader is also revered as the national teacher. It is said that he is a powerful land god-level man.

According to different responsibilities and types of martial arts, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is divided into five departments: snake, scorpion, centipede, spider, and bee. Among them, the snake-character department specializes in assassination, instigation of rebellion, espionage, and other dirty work hidden in the dark areas.

Within the Snake Department, members are divided into six levels based on merit and realm, from low to high: gray snake, black snake, green snake, white snake, gold snake, and king snake.

Generally speaking, the cultivation level of the gray snake and black snake will not exceed the sixth level, the green snake and the white snake will not exceed the ninth level, the golden snake will be at least the tenth level, and may be the No. 11 level, and the king snake will definitely It’s level No. 12.

"So, that person is at the Black Snake level, and his realm will not exceed the sixth level. He is probably at the peak of the sixth level?" After Lu Heng learned the information about the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, he nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder he is so weak. .”

"..." Pei Zhiqing was speechless.

Senior, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
The warriors at the sixth level have already completed the first half of the twelve levels of climbing to the sky. No matter in any state or county, warriors at this level are extremely famous.

If you reach this level before the age of 30, you will have a chance to be on the Qianyuan List and become a proud man who is noticed by the world.

And the peak of the sixth level is already at the top of the list of hidden abyss. To use the parlance of the drama, he is the protagonist of the era!

Even the older Sixth Level Peak can be regarded as a famous figure in a prefecture or county.

Not weak by any means.

However, Pei Zhiqing quickly understood Lu Heng's thoughts, "Judging from the strength that this senior showed just now, I'm afraid he has already entered the seventh level or even the eighth level. He is so young. For him, the sixth level is Warriors are indeed weak."

Then, she continued to remind: "Senior, although this black snake-level master is dead, you still have to be careful. The five branches of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect will never act alone.

"Now that a Black Snake level has appeared, there are probably masters from other characters who have not shown up. Among the four characters of scorpion, centipede, spider, and bee, the 'centipede' is the most powerful. His martial arts are extremely vicious, and he is also good at using poison. Insects manipulate people's hearts and it's impossible to guard against them."

"Yes, I will pay attention." Lu Heng nodded, looked in the direction of the county government office, and said in a deep voice, "But how come the master of Wan Du Sect from Nan Miao Kingdom is in Heyang County?

"Do you think Fang Qian, the magistrate of Heyang County, is not only selling grain to the governor of Kangzhou, but also secretly conveying interests and relationships to the Southern Miao Kingdom, intending to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

"This... this is impossible." Pei Zhiqing suddenly trembled when she heard this, and her face turned pale.

Just the thought of this possibility terrified her.

According to the geographical division of Daqi, a total of seven states including Shangzhou, Yinzhou, Kangzhou, Ruzhou, Pingzhou, Tongzhou and Yazhou are collectively called Huaixi Road.

Among them, Shangzhou, Yinzhou, and Kangzhou all bordered the southern Miao Kingdom.

The original intention of the imperial court to establish the Zhaoyang Army and set aside Shangzhou and Yinzhou for its management was to guard the border here and prevent the southern Miao Kingdom from invading from the north. .

If Fang Qian secretly sells Heyang County to the Southern Miao Kingdom, the disaster will be great.

Heyang County is located at the junction of Shangzhou and Kangzhou, and where the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River meet. It takes only thirty miles to reach the Southern Miao Kingdom by water.

This means that if this city is lost, thieves can arrive in a moment.

The threat from the Zhaoyang Army is still possible, but if Heyang County falls into the hands of the Nanmiao Kingdom, the people in the city will definitely be slaughtered, and at most a few will be left as slaves. "The human heart is always complicated, and nothing is impossible." Lu Heng shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, you also said that the Wan Du Sect has weird methods. The Centipede Club is also good at Gu magic and can manipulate people's hearts. Fang Qian has been manipulated by Wan Du Sect. Poison door control is not impossible."

He has always been accustomed to preparing for the worst when doing things, so that he can consciously make more preparations and reduce the occurrence of unexpected situations.

"If this is really the case, Heyang County will be in danger." Pei Zhiqing was a little anxious, and immediately touched the wound again. The pain made her body tremble slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it.

Seeing this, Lu Heng felt around in his clothes, took out a wine bottle, took off the lid and used it as a wine glass, poured some nectar, handed it to Pei Zhiqing, and said with a smile: "If you believe me, take this glass of wine." Drink it and it will heal your injuries."

"Senior, what are you..." Pei Zhiqing stared blankly at the wine bottle and wine glass in Lu Heng's hand. The expression on her face was extremely wonderful. She couldn't figure out how to put it in her arms, but she still put it in her arms. He took the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

In fact, she didn't have any hope for this glass of wine, she just used it as a bargaining chip to deepen Lu Heng's trust in her, and at the same time, she also showed her trust in Lu Heng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the glass of wine was in her mouth, it immediately turned into a warm stream of warmth and penetrated into her internal organs. A warm feeling enveloped her whole body, and the sharp pain in the wound on her back quickly disappear.

After just a few breaths, Pei Zhiqing felt that his injuries had been completely healed, his physical strength was even stronger than before, and his overall condition was better than ever.

"Hiss, what a magical wine this is, it's not an exaggeration to call it an elixir!" Pei Zhiqing marveled in surprise. The effect of the nectar drink gave her a great shock, and thought to herself, "Could it be that this senior is actually A disciple of a certain hidden land god?"

It is unheard of for a divine wine with such powerful effects to be so miraculous.In her opinion, only the legendary land gods can brew it.

"How do you feel?" Lu Heng said with a smile. He had never tried the effect of nectar drink.

After all, he has not been injured so far.

"It's completely healed, and it's better than ever!" Pei Zhiqing saluted Lu Heng with great gratitude, "Thank you, senior, for saving your life. I really don't know how to repay such kindness."

This was a real life-saving grace. With her previous serious injury, she would definitely not be able to survive as time went by. Two or three days more would be her limit.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "When I catch Fang Qian, just help me think about how to interrogate him and what to ask him."

……

In a large courtyard in the center of the city.

Fang Qian was pacing back and forth with a frown on his face. He had heard bad news one after another since last night.

First, Pei Zhiqing took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly started to investigate Zheng Han. Then the black snake-level master from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect disappeared. Now there was news that Sun Chang had been beheaded outside and his body had just been dug out.

One after another, all the troubles were piled up together, making Fang Qian's head feel big.

"Fangqian, if you dare to continue walking back and forth, I will chop off your feet!"

At this time, a cold man's voice came, and then a thin, slender, middle-aged man wearing a red robe appeared in the yard. No one noticed how he came.

"Forgive me Feng Shunzi. I'm just a little uneasy. What if my affairs are exposed..." Fang Qian obviously respected and feared the man called "Feng Shunzi".

"You won't be exposed. Even if you are exposed, it doesn't matter." Feng Shunzi shook his head and said with a faint smile, "In one month, the Zhaoyang Army will come back. By then, our Southern Miao Army and Qiang The killer will come too, and you will be fine."

"But Zhao Shezi... suddenly disappeared." Fang Qian was still a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. I know where he went in the end. He will be fine." Feng Shunzi waved his hand, but seeing that Fang Qian still looked worried and uneasy, he sighed and said, "That's all, I'll go over and take a look. It also puts your mind at ease."
