Murong Fu was taken aback. He did not expect such a turn of events. If no one came to testify, they would not have a legitimate reason for coming here. Moreover, they had injured quite a number of people just now. Although they were not afraid of these people taking revenge, it was still far from the goal of subduing them.
Song Qingshu reacted quickly. "Heavenly Mountain Elder's martial arts are unfathomable. You might have a sliver of hope by relying on your numbers. Aren't you just sending Cave Master An, Elder Wu, and Duanmu Yuan into the tiger's den?"
Cave Master An's greatest characteristic was that he stuttered. However, no one dared to mock him because he was the number one elite of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. Elder Wu's martial arts might not be as good as Cave Master An's, but it was not that far off. He was one of the best among them. However, in the original work, Xuzhu was unwilling to kill, so Heavenly Mountain Elder forced him to catch a deer to drink its blood to cultivate.
Sang Tu Gong then explained.
"Some time ago, Heavenly Mountain Elder summoned us to Western Xia to help Li Liangzuo deal with the elites of Class One Hall. We naturally did not dare to not come. We thought that it would be a fierce battle and many would die here. However, we did not expect Li Liangzuo to have such foresight and incite the elites of Class One Hall to rebel. In the end, we obtained victory without bloodshed …"
Murong Fu nodded to himself. He had participated in this matter as well. Naturally, he knew that the entire process was daunting but not dangerous.
Sang Tu Gong continued, "After settling the matter, Heavenly Mountain Elder brought her subordinates and left Lingzhou City in a hurry. She also sent people to dismiss us, telling us to return to our own territories. Naturally, we were extremely afraid …"
Song Qingshu asked curiously, "It's fine if you were by her side. But why were you afraid when she asked you to return?"
Sang Tu Gong smiled bitterly. "Mister Mu, you might not know this, but if Heavenly Mountain Elder sent someone to scold us every year, we would be considered to have passed the difficult period of the year. On the island in the cave, there would always be a banquet for several days to celebrate our safety. Sigh, it is really despicable to be like this. If Heavenly Mountain Elder's messenger did not scold us and scold our eighteen generations of ancestors, we would not have a good life in the future. You should know that if she doesn't send someone to scold you, she'll send someone to beat you. If you're lucky, it'll be thirty strokes of the rod. As long as your leg isn't broken, she'll probably throw a banquet to celebrate. "
Sang Tu Gong paused for a moment before continuing, "If she does not order people to come and beat our buttocks with big sticks, she will often use python whips to whip our backs, or else she will hammer a few nails into our backs. Sima Island Master, please let these friends take a look at the scars caused by the python whip. "
An old man who was as thin as a match said, "We are ashamed, ashamed!" He untied his clothes, revealing three vertical, three horizontal, and nine crisscrossing bright red marks on his back. Anyone who saw it would feel nauseous. One could imagine how much pain the old man must have been in when he suffered those marks.
A dark-skinned man shouted, "What's the big deal? Please look at the Bone Piercing Nail on my back. " Untying his clothes, he saw three big iron nails nailed to his back. The nails were yellow with rust, obviously they had been there for a long time. For some reason, this black man did not try to take them out.
Another monk said in a hoarse voice, "I am afraid Cave Master Yu's suffering is even worse than Xiao Seng's!" He reached out to untie his monk's robe. Everybody saw a slender iron chain pierced through his shoulder blade. The iron chain went all the way down and pierced through his wrist bone. His wrist only needed to move slightly to affect his shoulder blade, the pain was unimaginable.
Song Qingshu was startled. Although he knew early on that Tianshan Tong Granny was very strict, and these people were not good people, so being a little bit harsh to them could be considered as their punishment, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was still somewhat shocked. Thinking about Tianshan Tong Granny's harmless appearance, he really could not associate her with the image of someone who committed these atrocities.
Murong Fu angrily said, "Rebel, rebel! Unexpectedly there is such a treacherous and ruthless person in the world. Zaixia is determined to help. Let us work together as one to eliminate this big scourge of the Wulin world. "How much of what he said was out of righteous indignation, and how much of it was out of selfishness, nobody knew.
Sang Tu Gong was greatly delighted, "Thank you very much Prince Murong for your righteous help. Among us who are gathered here, there is not one person who has not been bullied and tormented by Tong Granny. When we say 'Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly', that is just sticking gold on our faces. When we say 'Hundred Ghosts Assembly', that is more worthy of the name. The days we have been living these past few years, I am afraid even the ghosts suffering in the hell of Avici are no better than this. In the past, everybody was afraid of her ruthless methods, so we could only swallow our anger and suffer in silence. Luckily Laotianye has eyes, this old thief granny has been tyrannical all her life, but now she also has bad luck. "
Murong Fu's heart was moved, "You say this old woman finally has bad luck, what do you think?"
Sang Tu Gong explained, "A few days ago Tong Granny told us to go back to our own homes. Everybody felt uneasy, so they elected me, Big Brother Wu, Heavenly Wind Cave's Cave Master An, Scarlet Flame Cave's Cave Master Duanmu, Seahorse Island's Island Master Qin, and nine others to buy pearls and jewels, silks and satins, exotic delicacies, rouge and pollen, and send them to her to please her …"
Murong Fu asked curiously, "Is this old woman an old demon? She is a granny, why does she still use rouge and pollen? " Even though they had seen Tong Granny before in the palace, at that time Tong Granny's entire body was wrapped in a black gown, so naturally they couldn't see her face clearly. As for her figure, even though she looked petite and dainty, no one thought in that direction. They only thought that she was old and had become stooped, so she looked small.
Sang Tu Gong explained, "Old thief granny is old, but she has quite a number of maids and servants under her. Among them, the young women need to use rouge and pollen. It's just that there is not a single man on the peak, so who are they dressing up for? "
Hearing his ridicule, Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing. Men naturally couldn't understand the nature of a woman's love for beauty. He didn't expect the women of later generations to be like this, and the women of hundreds of years ago were also like this. It really was a universal truth.
Sang Tu Gong said, "I, Cave Master An, Big Brother Wu and the others went to Tong Granny's residence to ask for an audience. The nine of us were extremely afraid. Three years ago, the old thief granny ordered us to prepare a complete set of medicines. Some of them were really too rare, like the eggs of a three-hundred-year-old sea turtle and five feet long antlers. In addition, she summoned us early this time, so we didn't have enough time. We didn't prepare everything according to her instructions, so we expected that we would be punished severely this time. Who knew that after the nine of us handed over the goods while trembling with fear, the old thief granny sent someone to pass a message, saying, 'The purchased goods are fine, but you nine sons of b * tches, quickly tuck your tails between your legs and scram.' We were really overjoyed, as if we had been granted amnesty by the Emperor. We immediately descended the peak, all of us wanting to leave as soon as possible so that the old thief granny wouldn't find out that there was something wrong with the goods. If she pursued the matter, we would suffer a great punishment. After the nine of them left, they pulled off the black cloth covering their eyes and saw that three people had died in the nearby river. Cave Master An recognized one of them. He was an expert from the Xixia Country's First Class Hall, called Taoist Jiuyi. "
Murong Fu raised his eyebrows. "This Taoist Jiuyi was the old concubine's trusted aide. His' Thunderclap Above the Ninth Heaven 'martial art skill was very impressive. I didn't expect him to die just like that." The two of them were both from the Xixia Country's First Class Hall, so they naturally knew each other. They knew that although their martial arts were superior to each other's, it was not by much.
Sang Tu Gong continued, "The strange thing is that Taoist Jiuyi had two sword wounds on his body. You should know that Heavenly Maiden's martial arts are unfathomable, and it is said that she doesn't need a second move to kill someone."
Murong Fu didn't think much of it. It wasn't as if he hadn't seen Heavenly Maiden in action in the imperial palace. She said that she didn't need a second move to kill someone, but she used almost twenty moves to kill Ding Chunqiu.
But on second thought, Ding Chunqiu was a big shot in the underworld. He was a master in Jianghu, and he was good at using poison. No matter where he went, people would be scared. Heavenly Mountain Tonglao could kill him within 20 moves. Although it was a sneak attack, Ding Chunqiu was a cunning man. He never let his guard down.
He remembered that he had fought with Ding Chunqiu a few days ago. Although he was not afraid of him, it was impossible for him to defeat him. Moreover, Ding Chunqiu was good at using poison. Therefore, he chose to stay away from him when he saw him. He did not expect such a person to be easily killed by Tian Shan Tonglao. If it was him, wouldn't he only be able to block a dozen attacks?
With this kind of martial art, he naturally didn't need a second move to kill these Island Masters and Cave Masters.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu felt a little guilty. If he did not know that there was something wrong with Heaven Mountain Tonglao's Kung Fu, he would definitely turn around and leave, instead of getting involved in this mess.
Sang Tu Gong continued,
"At that time, when we saw Daoist Nine-Winged with two injuries, we became suspicious. When we looked at the other two corpses, we saw that they weren't killed in one move. It was obvious that they had gone through a fierce battle and were covered in wounds. I immediately discussed this matter with Brother An, Brother Qin, and the others. This matter was really strange. Could it be that Daoist Nine-Winged and the other two weren't killed by Grandma Tong? But those women under Grandma Tong in Vulture Palace might not have the ability to kill Daoist Nine-Winged in two moves. Secondly, who would dare to steal Grandma Tong's pleasure of killing people in one move? Killing an expert like Daoist Nine-Winged was an endless joy. This kind of opportunity was not easy to come by. It was even more disrespectful than stealing Grandma Tong's delicious food. Our hearts were filled with suspicion. After we returned, we gathered together to discuss. Cave Master An suddenly said, 'Could … could it be that Old Madam … is … sick?' "
"Everyone immediately thought, 'Everyone must die. No matter how skilled Grandma Tong is, she has not cultivated to the point of being immortal and has an indestructible body. This time, we didn't give her the complete offerings, but she didn't punish us. This is already strange. Daoist Nine-Winged and the others died nearby, and they had more than one injury on their bodies. This is even more suspicious. 'In short, there must be something very strange about this. "
"The old hag has our Life-Death Talismans in her hands. No one can resist. If she falls sick and dies, the Life-Death Talismans will fall into the hands of another person. Won't we become the second person's slaves? In this lifetime, we will never be able to free ourselves! If that person is vicious and malicious, even more vicious than the old hag, won't the torment and humiliation we will suffer in the future be worse than today? This is really like an arrow on the bowstring; it has to be released. Knowing the dangers ahead, we can only seize this opportunity and fight to our deaths. Cave Master An, Boss Wu, and the rest will go to Vulture Palace to find out what's going on. We will gather our men here. Once we receive accurate information, we will attack together, kill the old hag, and take back the Life-Death Talisman antidote. "
Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. He thought that if the little girl heard his subordinates calling her old hag and old hag, her expression would definitely be very interesting.
Murong Fu felt relieved. When he heard Li Qinglu mention that Heaven Mountain Maiden's cultivation had problems, he was worried that she was lying to him. Now, according to these people's information, it seemed that she was right.
Just as he was about to tell them what he knew, he suddenly had an idea. "If I tell them now, they will succeed easily. They may not think of my benefits. It's better to pretend that I don't know and help them when they are most afraid. In this way, they will be grateful to me. But there is a problem. Mu Gaofeng knows about the dissipation of Tianshan Girl's power …"
Glancing at the hunchback, Murong Fu's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. He reached out and slapped the hunchback's back.
