Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C92
These words struck me like lightning. No wonder, no wonder Tu Cheng knew about it in such detail, so his master was actually one of the people involved!
I didn’t think that Tu Cheng would have such a past. According to the time when his master set fire to his own body, Tu Cheng should only be a few years old. He could clearly remember everything that happened many years ago. It was clear that this incident had given him a great shock.
Especially that scene when he committed suicide, he would probably never forget it.
His master had burnt himself after being poisoned by the corpse devil’s poison, which was the same as dying at the hands of a vat. It was no wonder why he was so excited about slaughtering a city just now.
To him, half of the vat was akin to killing his master. Naturally, it would be faster than that.
He just didn’t know if Tu Cheng could compare to his master from back then. Could he expel the corpse devil’s poison?
Thinking about it, I started to get a little nervous. If even Tu Cheng, this kind of powerful corpse refiner, was unable to drive out half a jar of Cadaveric Poison, then I could only wait for death.
When I voiced out my suspicions, Tu Cheng was silent for a long while, and then he said, “In order to avenge my teacher, I have studied the way of corpses since I was young. Although my cultivation is not even a tenth of my master’s, there are not many people in this world who can compare to me in terms of understanding and pondering over Cadaveric Poison. I do not dare say that I can completely remove the Cadaveric Poison on your body, but I have at least a fifty percent chance to do so. As for the actual situation, I still need to study it a bit. ”
“Fifty percent chance?”
I was elated. To be able to say such words, Tu Cheng must have a lot of confidence in himself.
The man in the suit, Huang Quan and the rest all shook their heads, indicating that they had no cure for this corpse devil poison, unless they used half of their jars of teeth and nails, even Three-eyed Jade Toad was unable to suck my Cadaveric Poison dry. In other words, my Cadaveric Poison is basically unsolvable.
Now that Tu Cheng said he had a fifty percent chance of getting the antidote, it was definitely the best news for the current situation.
Thinking of this, I immediately asked Tu Cheng to cure me of the poison.
He bluntly said, “It’s one thing to answer a question, and another to cure the corpse poison. If you really are the descendant of an undefeatable Grandmaster, I can give you a discount for one hundred thousand yuan each!” When the money is in place, I’ll treat your poison!
“A hundred thousand?” “So expensive!” I was startled.
“A hundred thousand for your life, you think it’s too expensive? “If you are unwilling, then I will not force you. You better take care of yourself!”
With that, Tu Cheng turned around and left.
I panicked and immediately said yes, yes!
Even though a hundred thousand dollars is half of my fortune, money is after all only worldly possessions, and is nothing compared to my little life. I can make money again if I lose it, and everything else if I lose it. I can still see through that.
Seeing me agree, Tu Cheng replied without turning around, “If you want to cure the Cadaveric Poison, I need to study your poisoned blood first. Follow me!”
As I said that, Tu Cheng walked out the door. I hastily followed him.
It’s still dark outside, but I’m not afraid because of the slaughtering of the city.
Taking advantage of this time, I asked Tu Cheng if he still knew some things about Li Tiangang, and what kind of deeper understanding did he have about what happened back then?
Tu Cheng replied coldly, “Undefeatable Taoist Master is a legendary figure. Many people know about his deeds and achievements, and he is much more powerful than my master. As for what happened that year, I don’t know much, because at that time, my master already attacked the heart of the Cadaveric Poison and didn’t have the time to explain. According to what he said, although the matter of the Taiping Village back then was extremely dangerous, with the help of the great array of yin and yang, as well as the help of the invincible Taoist Master Li Tiangang, he still had a certain level of confidence in dealing with the three Blood Coffin s. I just didn’t expect an accident to happen later. ”
“What happened?” I asked.
Tu Cheng shook his head: “I’m not sure about the specifics, but Yang Fengxian doesn’t seem to be willing to talk about it. However, after I asked around, I guessed that it’s very likely that someone was plotting against them and secretly attacked them while they were dealing with the three Blood Coffin s, causing them to die or be injured! The only person still alive, Yang Fengxian, also disappeared without a trace from his Chang’an Town a few years later. ”
“Someone is secretly scheming?”
I had a sudden feeling that the whole thing had become even more complicated. If Tu Cheng’s guess was right, then there must be even more secrets hidden in the things that happened that year, and only Yang Fengxian knew of this secret.
It was just that for some reason, he didn’t make it public.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but frown. Originally, I knew that this matter had a lot of secrets, but I didn’t expect that once this matter was exposed, there would be even more unspeakable secrets.
or perhaps, from the very beginning, the identity of the descendant of the Taoist Master was merely a primer.
If I am truly related to Li Tiangang, then my body is either a threat to those things, or the key to removing the Seal.
And, even more so, there is something special about it that conceals secrets that I do not know about. This is like Third Uncle, the man in the suit, and those people controlling the rat swarm. Although they are helping me, but they clearly have some reason to achieve some sort of goal.
This goal might be the most important key.
No matter if it was someone secretly playing tricks on him back then, or someone helped the Blood Coffin to get rid of the Seal, there must have been some secret hidden in this period of time.
If I want to know this secret, if I want to know the whole story, I can only go to the Chang’an Town to find Yang Fengxian.
Thinking of this, I became even more impatient.
I also asked Tu Cheng for some information about what happened back then, and Tu Cheng told me everything he knew. However, he did not know much about the mystery of my identity, and he did not understand why I, a descendant of the Taoist Master, would be in such dire straits.
Along the way, I asked about everything that I could. Although some of my doubts were dispelled, there were still a few key points that I could not figure out.
Under the guidance of the city, they took many turns and finally stopped in front of an old, two-story building at the back of the abandoned factory. There was also a wide courtyard wall near the building, and the walls were filled with glass dregs.
After opening the door and walking in, he saw a figure squatting inside.
The man lowered his head, his disheveled appearance obscuring his features. But I noticed that his hands were especially long, like apes. Not only was his skin dark, but his nails were also very long, like the tips of knives.
The figure used his nails to scratch on the ground. The earth was like tofu in front of his nails, easily sliced open, and the deep scratches looked horrifying.
The most terrifying thing was that there was a human head beside the shadow.
Taking a closer look, it was actually Lin Yu’s head!
I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva and immediately retracted my gaze, not daring to look around. Obviously, the figure in front of him was the monster that killed Lin Yu! Even now, I can still clearly remember that beast-like appearance from before. It was a terrible sight to behold.
However, such a terrifying thing, upon seeing the massacre in the city, was like a frightened little dog. Its body trembled as it shrank to a corner, not daring to move at all.
Tu Cheng said coldly, “Before daybreak, get rid of those eyesore corpses for me!”
Hearing this, the figure nodded his head repeatedly and ran on all fours. Then, with a leap, he jumped over the wall. He did not dare to hesitate at all when it came to Tu Cheng’s orders.
“Just now … What went out? ” I asked, craning my neck.
“It’s nothing, I’m just raising a watchdog.” Tu Cheng said indifferently.
“Watch dog? Why does he look like a human? ”
I frowned, not at the taste of the city.
“This has nothing to do with you. You’d better not ask too much!”
He said with an unkind expression: “I am willing to save you, partly because you are the descendant of an undefeatable Taoist Master, and partly because of money, but that is all, you and I do not know each other, there are some things you do not have the qualifications to do!”
After being yelled at by Tu Cheng, I didn’t dare make a sound. To be honest, I didn’t expect him to have such a reaction.
We were talking nicely previously, but I didn’t expect to turn so cold in the blink of an eye. It seemed as though we would fall out at any moment. On the other hand, I was shocked.
Obviously, he had a deep taboo towards this matter and did not want others to ask about it.
I’m rather curious, why does it feel like I’ve met with a backlash when I’m even able to honestly say the things about my own master?
Had something happened?
