120, Chapter 120

‌Everyone was nervous when they heard that the house was not small. There is a house in a deep mountain, and it is also a deep mountain that King Liang ordered to prohibit others from entering twenty years ago. When you think about it, you can't help but feel it is profound.

Qin Fang frowned, and he chose a tree and climbed up in fear. Qin Fang climbed the tree, and Lv Xiaowei and others also climbed the tree.

There is indeed a house in the south. From their angle, the house is quite small, but the rest cannot be seen clearly because the house is among the woods and weeds.

Everyone got off the tree, Captain Lu looked at Qin Fang: "General?"

Qin Fang said: "Tao Shan and I took five people to find out what's going on. You call for people to surround this place. The house is far away from here, so we can't observe what's going on here. Unless we come. We were already discovered when we arrived at Beast Mountain, so if we were already discovered by that time, we would have already alerted the snake, so it doesn’t matter how many people we call.”

Lieutenant Lu: "Yes."

Lieutenant Lu took the remaining five soldiers down the mountain. He went to the eastern suburbs military camp to call for help. The five soldiers called their other comrades on the mountain to prevent them from going deep into the mountain and causing other disturbances.

Qin Fang and others continued to move forward. Speaking of which, this mountain path really leads to the house in the south. However, the woman looking at the steps on the mountain road showed that the people in the house had been moving around for a long time. After passing the step mountain road, we changed to a stone road, which was very smooth.

Tao Shan: "General, Dongfang is watching us secretly."

Qin Fang: "Well, OK, it should be a beast, don't pay attention to it." The eyes of beasts are different from the eyes of humans. The beasts who can stare at them in this place without causing any movement are beasts. If it is a person, they will find it again when they get closer. After thinking for a while, Qin Fang explained, "Under normal circumstances, wild beasts will not attack people unless they are hungry, feel threatened, or when the mother is breastfeeding. ‌If people or other animals come close to it, it will attack because it wants to protect the little beasts. However, there are exceptions for some beasts, such as tigers. "

When Qin Fang was young, he often went to the mountains to play, so he knew a little about the wild animals on the mountains. Later, he joined the army at the border and went hunting, so he naturally came up with his own ideas. "Do you know why wild beasts don't attack people?"

Tao Shan: "Why?"

The other soldiers were also confused.

Qin Fang said: "Because people are afraid of wild beasts, and wild beasts are also afraid of people. In this world, people are the masters. There are no wild beasts that capture people to trade, and people capture wild beasts to trade. So even though they are beasts, they are still different from beasts. In their own consciousness, they also know that we humans are powerful and dangerous. Therefore, unless it is a special situation, they will not take the initiative to attack people. "This is actually similar to the psychological tactics in the army. When armies are fighting, if you don't know what you are doing, you will be tempted. But between humans and animals, there is no need to test, because humans already occupy a dominant position.

Hearing what Qin Fang said, Tao Shan and others felt relieved. However, they were still cautious in case there were beasts like the Tiger Crown Prince spying on them.

However, they are right to be cautious, but here, they can rest assured. The lion lives in the grassland, so among animals, he is the king, but the king of the grassland. The tiger is also the king among animals, but the tiger is the king of the forest. Therefore, there is always a dispute over which one is the king of beasts, the lion or the tiger, because they live in different places and there is no way to compete.

But here, there are no lions, so the only beast that Qin Fang considers dangerous is the tiger. However, the living habits of tigers make it very unlikely that they will come out at this time, because tigers basically come out to look for food at night, and they are basically sleeping during the day.

Therefore, Qin Fang made the soldiers feel at ease and ignore the beasts that were watching them secretly. Of course, don't worry and don't pay attention. It's not carelessness. In the wild, it is still necessary to be cautious.

‌The pedestrian walked for another two-quarters of an hour before arriving near the so-called house. However, they were all dumbfounded. Because the weeds had grown up around the house, it was impossible to live in it. So no matter how you look at it, it’s incredible.

One of the soldiers said: "General, are there any agencies here?"

Qin Fang said: "I don't feel the popularity here. Tao Shan, you stay here to receive us, and the others will follow me in."

"Yes." One of the soldiers came to Qin Fang. "General, my subordinates are here to lead the way."

Qin Fang did not ask his own people to take the lead in taking risks. He said: "You come behind me." If there is danger, his skill is better than that of the other party and he can always deal with it.

The soldier was slightly moved: "Yes."

Qin Fang walked in the front and led five soldiers in along the mountain road. Tao Shan hid outside and watched them go in. He was worried, but he had no choice but to leave someone behind.

Not to mention, Qin Fang and others were cautious on this road. However, with Qin Fang's keen intuition, it is true that no one found anything strange here. No matter how you look at it, this is all. It's an abandoned yard. Oh no, it’s a Taoist temple. When they arrived at the front door of the house, they saw the plaque: Longevity Hall.

For some reason, seeing this name, Qin Fang was more willing to believe directly that this was a Taoist temple. But who would build a Taoist temple here? King Liang?

Qin Fang couldn't think of anyone except King Liang.

"Everyone prepare to sneak in." Qin Fang reminded softly.

The door of the Taoist temple was open, or rather, the door had fallen to the ground due to its old age. There was no door here at all.

However, just after entering the Taoist temple and walking a few steps inside, he heard a sound. This rustling sound was the sound of the iron chain being pulled on the ground.

Qin Fang: "Be careful, there is something inside, it is probably a person." The sound of the iron chain rubbing on the ground was so obvious that it meant that there was no one moving, and it was very unlikely that it was an animal.

So, there was no one here.

Qin Fang drew his knife: "Hide well and prepare for the call. I'll go check."

"Yes."

Qin Fang sneaked in neatly and came to the place where the sound came from. He came to the window and could see the situation inside at a glance, because the windows were all shabby and could not block the inside at all. But that's why he was surprised. The people inside couldn't see clearly. He had disheveled hair, his hands and feet were tied, and he rolled on the ground, so there was a sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground.

He rolled for a while, and then lay flat again.

Qin Fang looked at it and was really puzzled. Looking at the situation in the room again, it looked like an alchemy room. Oh, there was a piece of meat on the ground, bloody raw meat.

Qin Fang found that there was no one else in the room, except for the person tied with iron chains, and he moved lightly through the window. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly heard a noise outside, and saw a figure coming in quickly from outside. Qin Fang held the knife tightly, and what he feared was really what he feared. The one coming in quickly was a tiger. However, this tiger was very old, and its old age was very obvious.

The tiger roared and blocked the chained man.

As the tiger roared, the soldiers also came to the window: "General?" When they saw the tiger through the window, they were all shocked. "General, why is there a tiger?"

The chained man was also startled by the noise. He got up from the ground, then looked at Qin Fang, and then at the tiger. He looked confused and confused. It was obvious that he was not a normal person?

"Roar..." The tiger did not take the initiative to attack, which was not in line with the tiger's habits. Generally speaking, when a tiger sees its prey, it will pounce directly. Tigers are ferocious. Whether it is speed or strength, they are the best, and they are not comparable to humans.

Even if the tiger in front of him is very old, it should not stare at Qin Fang so vigilantly.

Qin Fang did not have the intention to kill the tiger. In this dilapidated Taoist temple, especially after the movement, no one else appeared, which means that there is an iron chain man in this Taoist temple... and this tiger?

The iron chain man is tied up and cannot move, but how can he survive? Looking at the raw meat on the ground, the tiger feeds the iron chain man?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Fang felt even more incredible. Qin Fang temporarily stopped wanting to kill the tiger, and he found that the tiger had no intention of attacking him. So, he called the target, the Chained Man: "Excuse me, do you understand what I say?"

"Excuse me... do you... do you understand what I say?" The other party's voice was very hoarse, and this hoarseness seemed to come from a broken throat.

Qin Fang said: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Who... who?" The Chained Man looked at Qin Fang, "Who... who are you?"

Soldier: "General, is this a fool?"

Another soldier said: "You are the fool, if he is a normal person, can he be here?"

Qin Fang: "Go search other rooms and see if you find anything."

"Yes." The five soldiers left immediately.

"Fool... idiot?" The man in chains shook his head, "I'm not a fool... I'm not, I'm... immortality, I make the elixir of immortality. Yes, yes, yes, I want to make the elixir of immortality..." As he spoke, the man in chains walked around the house, "Where's the medicine? Where's the elixir of immortality?"

Qin Fang thought for a moment: "Are you a Taoist priest? Are you making elixirs here?"

The man in chains listened, his eyes brightened: "Yes... yes, yes, yes... I make medicine, I make the elixir of immortality."

Qin Fang: "Do you know King Liang?"

King Liang?

The man in chains thought doubtfully, then his eyes brightened: "King Liang asked me to make medicine, King Liang... King Liang wants immortality..."

Qin Fang drew some conclusions based on the man in chains' words. This Taoist temple was built by King Liang, and this man in chains should be a Taoist priest captured by King Liang to make elixirs. The reason why he was captured instead of invited was because he was tied up with chains. King Liang had been dead for twenty years, so this man had been captured twenty years ago, which meant that he had most likely been tied up here for more than twenty years. But how had he survived for these twenty years? Did this tiger feed him?
