Chapter 265 The case becomes clearer
The prison of Dayan Huazong is very big, and those imprisoned inside are all extremely vicious. If the Huoqian Sect has black fire ropes to tie up the world's masters, then Dayan Huazong naturally has special instruments used to restrain the world's masters.
It's the Extreme Flower Chain.
This chain is made of Nine Nether Mysterious Iron and has an extremely sturdy handcuff at the end. Any martial arts master in the world, if handcuffed by the neck, will have all his martial arts skills but will be unable to use them at all.
Only special methods can unlock it.
They were just a Yin-Yang couple, so there was no need to use such a prison device. However, along the way from the Sky Prison, many people were handcuffed to the wall with their limbs tied by this device, unable to move.
"Pooh!"
"Zhang Mo, you stinky bitch, when did you find such a handsome pretty boy?"
"Hahaha, bitch, if you have the guts, let me out and I'll let you taste how powerful I am!"
……
The sounds of abuse gradually rose from all sides.
These are all provocative words.
A considerable number of the people here were captured by Zhang Mo, so naturally they hated this woman to the core.
Zhang Mo's expression remained unchanged as she lightly kicked the stone at her feet.
The stone hit the mouth of the person who had just cursed accurately.
In an instant, blood flowed everywhere. One big man even had several teeth broken. He was bleeding all over and could no longer speak.
Even with their limbs free, they were no match for Zhang Mo, let alone being tied up by the Jihua chains.
Zhang Mo left without looking back. On the way, she saw a cell which caught Li Changxiao's attention. The cell was made of cold gold, but there was a big hole in it.
"What is this?" Li Changxiao pointed to the dilapidated cell.
"Oh."
Zhang Mo said, "This cell previously held the Hundred-Faced Witch: Diao Mei. She is highly skilled in martial arts and her words can charm people. She is an extremely dangerous person. So after she was captured, we put a cold iron hood over her head and used extreme flower chains to fasten her limbs to the wall, cutting off all her hopes."
"Unfortunately, the prison was broken into before the execution. Now that the woman is free, I don't know what kind of unrest it will cause. Alas..." Zhang Mo sighed heavily.
Go around a corner.
The two came to the cell where the couple was.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, the couple looked a little frightened.
"Lady, I...we have confessed everything we can."
The man in the couple begged.
Zhang Mo frowned, and the speculation that had just arisen in her heart faded away. These two people did not look like they were in charge of a longevity business.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such petty theft and stolen someone's life, and almost got himself killed.
Li Changxiao asked, "Do you know if there is anyone in Lijiu City who is like you, practicing the Way of Stealing Life?"
The couple looked at each other and said, "Yes... yes."
"The Way of Stealing Life, stealing the lives of others. I have met a person before, he is a black market merchant in the Way of Stealing Life!"
……
The next day.
There was weeping in the palace. The old man of the Wang family could not bear the pain and torture and passed away.
He was over 170 years old.
The Wang family has been in business for generations and has a rich family background. Mr. Wang has seventeen sons, who are involved in various industries. When they heard the bad news at home, they all rushed back.
Among the seventeen sons, some practiced martial arts, some studied, and some engaged in business. Li Changxiao, who heard the news, went to the mansion to see, but was stopped by the servants. He was about to blow the Huafeng and pick the colorful clouds in the sky as eyes, but he happened to meet Zhang Mo.
With Zhang Mo's guarantee, he entered the palace. As soon as the two of them entered the palace gate, they heard sad crying coming from inside.
The seventeen sons included both old and young.
Li Changxiao's gaze stopped on a boy. The boy was only half the height of a man, with a rosy and round face. He could be described as a delicate and pretty girl. However, he had his hands behind his back, looking very old.
Li Changxiao asked, "Which road to immortality did he take?"
Zhang Mo looked at Li Changxiao with interest, "How do you know that he is also a person who walks the path of immortality? Can't he be an ordinary child?"
"Guessed." Li Chang smiled.
Zhang Mo said: "This man is the second son of the Wang family. He is already 153 years old this year. He is a virgin... He should be on the path of self-sacrifice - a virgin."
The so-called boy is one who embarks on this path when he is young, giving up the growth of his physical body in exchange for the opportunity to prolong his life.
The two were talking.
The funeral of Mr. Wang has already begun.
Accompanied by the sound of suona, there were cries of grief.
Watching the scene along with Li Changxiao were several relatives from other places. They were wearing white mourning clothes and stood beside Li Changxiao, also wiping their tears, but they were pretending.
Not really sad.
The relatives were discussing in a low voice.
"Well, I've lived for more than 170 years, it's time to live a good life. Why should I be dissatisfied?"
"Yes, my old man lived to be over 90 years old. When he passed away, he set off firecrackers. It was such a festive scene."
"Bah! How can it be the same? Old Master Wang died of illness. If he didn't have that strange disease, he might have lived to be 200 years old!"
"Tell me, is that strange disease contagious? Will we get it too?"
"You're overthinking it. Look at the people in the Wang family. They stay with Old Master Wang every day, but they don't get sick, do they?"
……
Their discussion reached Li Changxiao's ears. He suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way, what path did Mr. Wang take to live so long?"
Hear the words.
Zhang Mo frowned slightly, as she had been ignoring this issue before.
Mr. Wang is over 170 years old this year, more than 130 years older than Zhang Mo. It is normal that she does not pay attention to this matter.
She buried this doubt deep in her heart.
During the intermission of the funeral ceremony, Zhang Mo found a descendant of the Wang family, the third son of the Wang family. Zhang Mo went straight to the point and asked the other party which road Grandpa Wang took.
When the third son of the Wang family saw that the person questioning him was the famous Zhang Mo of Dayan Hua Sect, he did not dare to hide it and told the truth that Master Wang did not embark on the path to immortality.
Because Mr. Wang was greedy for fun in his early years, and the road to immortality usually requires great suffering or a considerable price and determination, so he never embarked on the path of longevity.
When he reached middle age and looked at his aging body, he repented and began to look for ways to prolong his life. He donated several buildings to Dayan Hua Sect, just to ask the elders of the sect to help him open his mysterious orifice, but his body was aging and his mysterious orifice was blocked, so this method was not feasible.
Afterwards, Mr. Wang tried various methods, purchasing flowers that could prolong life, health-preserving potions... It can be said that he completely bought his longevity with money.
After hearing this, Li Changxiao already had a guess in his mind.
Ordinary people don’t know this, but he knows that for an ordinary person, it is extremely difficult to extend one’s life by nearly a hundred years.
He told Zhang Mo to check if other people with the disease had similar experiences.
Zhang Mo nodded and strode out of the Wang family mansion.
evening.
Zhang Mo found Li Changxiao in the restaurant again and told him about her day's investigation.
His guess was correct. Anyone who contracted a strange disease had a similar experience. The old man in the Zhou Mansion who was ill had learned martial arts and gained enlightenment when he was young. However, like most ordinary people, he was missing a vital acupoint three inches deep in his lower abdomen. He was unable to continue on the path of a warrior. After that, he tried other ways to longevity several times, but was deceived and forced by villains to take the wrong path, resulting in lifelong disability.
Later, he used money to buy things that could prolong his life.
He has lived until now, but now he has fallen ill, suffered so much that he is close to death.
Zhang Mo took the wine glass from the table and drank it all in one gulp without being polite to Li Changxiao. "At first, I thought that those who were sick were all powerful people. Now I see that those who were sick are all elderly people. I was wrong in my thinking."
"By the way, the servant of the Wang family may have the key clue." Zhang Mo suddenly thought of something and said.
Among those who were sick, only the servant was of low status.
The strange thing that happened to him must be the key.
Zhang Mo frowned, "But I can't figure out whether this matter is related to Huoqian Sect?"
She told Li Changxiao about her doubts: "At first, I thought this was a setup against me. The so-called strange disease was all to lure me into investigating so that they could enter the Pollen Forest and target me. It was also aimed at the Flower Field Competition in a few days. But now it seems that it is not the case."
Li Changxiao said, "Why should we worry about this? Everything has a sequence. Maybe you got sick first, and then they interfered and tried to lead you into the pollen maze?"
"You mean, this strange disease has nothing to do with the Huoqian Sect? They are just using it to target me?" Zhang Mo pinched her chin, feeling that it made a lot of sense.
Li Changxiao shook his head, "Not necessarily. However, Zhang Mo, I still want to remind you to be careful and not be too impulsive."
"That's natural." Zhang Mo said with a smile, "I'm not a reckless person."
"As for the matter of the mysterious forest..." Li Changxiao took a sip of wine and said teasingly.
When talking about that incident, Zhang Mo's pretty face turned red, "Haha, it was an accident, that was just an accident."
Li Changxiao said, "In fact, you should have felt it. Although the strange disease has been spreading, it is not out of control. The people who are infected are already old and weak."
"And now that the Land Division Competition is approaching, I suggest you take a break for a few days and recuperate."
As he spoke, Li Changxiao's eyes flashed. He planned to act alone later. It was not because he disliked Zhang Moluo, but the two of them were friends, and Li Changxiao did not want to put her in danger.
If he guessed correctly.
There is definitely a monk involved behind this strange disease.
There may even be a vortex of fighting involved.
Of course, Li Changxiao would never get dragged into the vortex of fighting. He had a big world, and if the waters of Lijiu City were too deep, he could just leave.
