Chapter 512: Moonlit Night

A pile of firewood had been cut, and the deep pit had just been dug. A man who was with Chao Shenghuai ran over and said with a smile to the crowd: "Brothers and brothers, it's good for the two of us to continue here. Brother Chao, please go over here. I have something to tell you all." He stretched out his finger and pointed at the back of the mountain.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and some people looked unhappy, but it was all over.

It's just that someone spit softly on the way, "I rely on my grandfather to come here to point fingers, what!"

There were also some people who murmured and echoed a few words, all of whom were not happy with Chao Shenghuai's behavior.

On the contrary, the brother who led the team sighed, "Don't talk too much, people are kind enough to help, maybe they are a bit arrogant."

When these people went to the back of the mountain, the two people beside the deep pit looked at each other, quickly started, picked up the black jade carving placed on the ground and ran away.

Black jade carvings are a relatively common type of large birds, and they are also the largest giant birds in the Wanshoumen. In other words, they are the cheapest ones on the market, but they are also worth tens of millions.

The two didn't run too far, and the black jade carvings they carried away went straight to hide in a nearby mountain depression, running back and forth, and quickly hid five of them.

When returning to the edge of the deep pit, the accumulated dry firewood was quickly thrown into the pit, and then the dead birds were thrown into the pit.

After doing this, throw the lighted torches into the deep pit, light the torches continuously, and throw them in continuously, and the pit will soon ignite a raging fire.

Seeing the smoke rising from this side, Chao Shenghuai's chattering on that side also ended, and a group of people came back and went to the edge of the pit to take a look, only to see the dead birds piled up in the burning flames being burned. At first there was a smell of barbecue in the air, and then there was a burnt smell, which made everyone stay away from the deep pit.

It was getting dark, and the orange fire was slowly extinguishing in the deep pit. The charcoal fire in the pit flickered, and a group of people began to backfill the piled soil into the pit.

After the matter was over and everyone went back, Chao Shenghuai took the two of them and parted ways with the disciples of Linghua Valley, saying that they were going to Vientiane City.

However, the three of them didn't go far. After hiding in a certain place for a while, Chao Shenghuai said to the two juniors in the dark: "Get out the five corpses, throw them a little farther, and throw them in different directions."

A junior brother said strangely: "Senior brother, what are we doing here!"

The other was also wondering, why hide this corpse, what is the use of dead things?

How could Chao Shenghuai tell them the truth? If he told them, he couldn't scare them to death. The fewer people who knew the truth, the better. Just let them shut up and let them do what they said.

The two had no choice but to obey.

The two went to carry out the execution, and Chao Shenghuai also ran away, returned to Wanshoumen, and went directly to Juling Mountain to find an accomplice who had made an appointment. He was also a disciple of Juling Mountain, named Chen Ping, and the latter had already arrived one step ahead. waiting for him.

As soon as they met, Chao Shenghuai asked, "Are you one of the people on duty in the second half of the night today?"

"Yeah, didn't senior brother ask?" Chen Ping was surprised.

Chao Shenghuai looked around furtively, and grabbed five 'finger bells' from his sleeves, which looked like rings, except that the rings were inlaid with small bells, and there were horizontal tongues inserted on the bells to prevent the bells from making a sound. s things. Pull out the horizontal tongue and shake the finger bell to make a jingle sound.

The sound is not loud, but the penetrating power of the sound is very strong.

This thing is usually carried on the hand like a ring, and it is used to control and control the birds. If you ring the bell in any direction, the birds will fly in that direction.

The material of the finger bell is very tough, comparable to that of a high-quality sword, and it is not easy to be damaged. Every piece is made to accompany a bird for a lifetime.

Finger bells all look the same, but there are no bells that can make exactly the same sound in this world. There will always be subtle differences in the sound, even if they are made by the same craftsman. And after each finger bell is made, it will fix a bird. As long as there is no accident in this bird, it will not be replaced by other birds. It will be accompanied by the domestication of this bird from childhood to adulthood, so that it can get used to the ringtone. Accompanied for many years, the bell is imprinted in the depths of the bird's memory, and the subconscious response of the bird is domesticated, so that it can be controlled like an arm and a finger.

When Wanshoumen sells the giant birds, the finger bell is sold together as a gift, and it is convenient for customers to buy things and drive them.

After receiving five finger bells, Chen Ping was a little surprised, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Chao Shenghuai hooked up with him, and whispered in his ear, "When you are on duty tonight, come out from the Eagle's Nest with five black jade-carved finger bells, and use these five Li to replace peaches..."

After hearing this, Chen Ping was terrified and shocked, "This...brother, this can't be done, the birds in the Eagle's Nest are released for activities every morning, and if the replacement ones can't control the five black jade carvings, they will definitely investigate carefully. There is a problem with the five finger bells, and my junior brother, I was on duty that night and I cannot escape the blame. No, no, senior brother, it really can’t."

Chao Shenghuai said in a deep and stern voice: "Will I still harm you? If I harm you, if you are found, you can recruit me out, and will I ask for trouble? Don't worry, you don't have to wait till tomorrow morning, you will kill me." It will be found that there is nothing to investigate about this matter, and you will be fine..."

After some persuasion and coercion, the two finally parted ways.

Looking back, Chao Shenghuai met a Juling Mountain disciple named Gao Lan in another forest.

When they met, a small porcelain bottle was stuffed into the opponent's hand, and they also hooked shoulders to each other and whispered for a while.

Gao Lan panicked after hearing this, "Brother, what is this? Could it be that you are at Linghua Valley today..."

"Fart, what are you thinking? Can I do that kind of thing?" Chao Shenghuai pretended to be angry, and immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, this is not poison. If you do what I say, it will never kill anything."

Gao Lan repeatedly refused, "No, no, senior brother, this is absolutely not possible, I will never do such a thing!"

"Are you kidding me..." Chao Sheng became angry.

In the end, the two parted ways, and Gao Lan touched the small porcelain bottle hidden at her waist from time to time, feeling anxious...

The silver light of the bright moon spreads all over the vast land.

In the courtyard, Niu Youdao stood on his own with his sword and club, eyes closed, calm and desolate, his middle finger resting on the hilt of his sword was tapping lightly all the time.

Not long after a golden wing escaped into the courtyard, Yuan Gang walked from the shadow to the moonlight, and walked to Niu Youdao, "Master Dao, I have repeatedly confirmed that the manpower at Wuliang Mountain has been prepared at the preset location. Just wait here."

Niu Youdao: "Then just wait, success or failure depends on tonight."

Yuan Gang: "Can that guy do it? There is only one chance for this kind of thing. Once you miss it, you will never have another chance in the future, and it will cause follow-up troubles. It is a bit risky."

"Adventure?" Niu Youdao snorted coldly, without opening his eyes, and said calmly: "Whether it's a river or a horse, whether it's wind or rain, take action when it's time to do so. I don’t know who buried it yet, just wait.”

Yuan Gang looked up at the moon.

...

The bright moon was in the sky, a bare rocky cliff with no grass growing, and many caves were dug on the mountain wall.

This place is the Eagle's Nest of Juling Mountain, and there is a huge bird in each cave.

Unlike the undomesticated cages in Linghua Valley, the ones here are all domesticated, obey the rules, listen to greetings, and don't need to be imprisoned.

There are passages for people to enter and exit behind each cave, and there are passages everywhere up and down the whole mountain for the people in charge of this place to enter and exit to fulfill their responsibilities.

In a cave on the mountain, a moon butterfly circled three times at the entrance of the cave.

In the forest below the mountain, the same signal quickly appeared.

Not long after, Chao Shenghuai appeared on the side of Juling Mountain, passed by again, greeted the guard disciples at the foot of the mountain, warmly hugged his arms and said a few words, then declined to leave.

Walking to a remote place, a ball of paper fell out of the sleeve into his palm, and he quickly opened it to look at it. There were five finger bells wrapped in the ball of paper. He clenched his palm tightly and walked away quickly.

Arriving at a pavilion on the top of a mountain, he looked at the Juling Mountain in front of him under the moonlight. Chao Shenghuai sat down, brought up a pot of wine that he carried with him, and drank slowly. Signal over there.

In the pavilion, he seemed to be drowning his sorrows with wine, and indeed he was drowning his sorrows with wine.

More than 20 large birds, each with different prices, estimated to be worth 300 million gold coins, all of which died in his hands.

He knew very well what it would mean if things were revealed, it would be a capital offense, and his grandfather couldn't save his life, and he might even kill him himself.

But he was more aware of what he had encountered, as if he had encountered a devil, and he followed the temptation unknowingly, but when he wanted to turn around, he found that he had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and he couldn't get out no matter what.

The only thing that can be done now is to let Niu Youdao leave as soon as possible, as Niu Youdao said, and after the matter is done, he will also grasp Niu Youdao's death handle, so that he can be safe.

For him, it was not difficult to make a decision whether the lives of those twenty or so large birds were more important, or his own life was more important.

...

In the dungeon, Shao Sansheng came with a food box, squatted outside the fence, dismantled the food box layer by layer, stuffed it into the opening under the cage, and said to Shao Pingbo, who was standing with his back facing the lamp, " Eldest son, eat something."

Shao Pingbo turned and paced back, turned his head to look at the monk sitting cross-legged at the end of the corridor, approached the fence, and asked in a low voice: "Can you contact the outside?"

Shao Sanxing replied in a low voice: "I am only allowed to go out to get food or to add clothes, bedding and other supplies for the eldest son. Two monks follow and cannot communicate with the outside world. However, when the lord asked Mr. Zhong about the situation, he asked about one thing. That’s why we know that Eldest Young Master murdered Niu Youdao because when the people from Dachan Mountain went to investigate the situation in Diemeng Realm, they heard about the disciples of Wanshou Sect talking in Vientiane City.”

"I heard? Hmph, those people from Wanshoumen must be the ones arranged by Niu Youdao intentionally..." Shao Pingbo paused when he said this, his eyes flickered and said: "According to Wanshoumen's consistent style, Wanshoumen's How could people intervene in this kind of thing? In the news sent back by Lu Shengzhong, what is the name of the disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect used?"

Shao Sansheng thought for a while, and said, "Chao Shenghuai, the grandson of Chao Jing, the elder of Wanshou Sect!"

"The elder's grandson...not good!" Shao Pingbo's face darkened, "This person either didn't make a move, or he missed it. If he missed, he didn't hear Tianyumen mention that Niu Youdao was in Wanshoumen. Judging from the fact that the Wanshoumen teamed up with Niu Youdao to leak the news to Dachan Mountain, this Chao Shenghuai is likely to have fallen under Niu Youdao's control. It is not good for me to have this person's background as an internal response in Wanshoumen! "

The voice suddenly became louder, "Go, invite Elder Zhong to come here immediately, I have something important to inform."

The Dachan Mountain cultivator who was guarding at the end of the corridor in the prison was startled, stood up, and walked over.

Shao Sanxing looked back and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, there is no way to explain the cause and effect to Dachanshan!"

Shao Pingbo shouted angrily: "Go!"
