Zhang Sui followed Dong Kuo and Cheng Di to the study. Dong Kuo and Cheng Di, two people who were not easy to deal with, now have a tacit understanding.

The three sat down, Dong Kuo and Cheng Di looked at each other, Dong Kuo said: "Brother Cheng should come and tell Mr. Zhang."

Cheng Di nodded, looked at Zhang Sui and said, "The secluded place Mr. Zhang mentioned is within the range of the Kunzhou government, but this matter is extremely secretive, and there are many suspicions of strange powers and chaos, so it was blocked by the government. After getting the news, the people involved are also under centralized management.”

After a pause, Cheng Di said again: "Those assassins most likely came from that strange place. We have dealt with people who came from there, and most of them are insane and insane. There are crazy people, but there are also some normal people, just not very friendly to us."

Dong Kuo also nodded and interjected at the side: "And most of the people there have some unimaginable abilities. How did those assassins sneak into the city lord's mansion, bypass those guards, and stab my father directly in the study room? I don't even think about it now."

Hearing this, Zhang Sui pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "When was that secluded place discovered?"

Dong Kuo glanced at Cheng Di and asked him to continue.

Cheng Di's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "If we talk about the time of discovery, it should be about ten years ago."

Zhang Sui's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Is your father's matter related to this?"

Cheng Di stared at Zhang Sui for a while, then sighed: "Young Master Zhang is really extraordinary, I just mentioned the time, and you can guess the whole context of the matter."

Cheng Di nodded and continued: "The scourge of witchcraft ten years ago is the origin of everything."

Cheng Di stood up, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said: "Ten years ago, there was an organization called Lingmu Sect in the Yifang of Kunzhou Prefecture. They worshiped a kind of big tree. It is said that the big tree grew There is a pair of spiritual eyes, which can distinguish between good and evil, can judge life and death, and can also impart various strange abilities to worshipers when they look at each other."

Cheng Di turned to look at Zhang Sui, and said without a word: "The object of worship is the eyes of a person! It doesn't matter if it's your own or someone else's!"

Dong Kuo sighed at the side: "During that time, the whole Yiyifang was panicked, and from time to time there would be people whose eyes had been gouged out alive. It was too horrible to look at!"

Zhang Sui imagined that scene in his mind, and his heart was palpitating.

Cheng Di said: "At that time, Wuwei Mansion received a report from someone. At first, it was thought that it was caused by private fighting, but as more and more victims began to spread to noble areas, the leader of Wuwei Mansion who was in charge of the investigation at that time reported to Tsing Yi Guardian report."

Dong Kuo on the side explained to Zhang Sui: "Generally, Wuwei Mansion first investigates and handles cases, and then notifies Tsingyi Mansion of troublesome ones."

Zhang Sui knew in his heart that this was the difference between ordinary police and armed police.

Cheng Di glanced at Dong Kuo and said, "When my father received the notification, Wuwei Mansion did not report all the situation, but only said that there were suspected bandits entrenched in Xiaoyifang."

Dong Kuo on the side hastily argued: "My second brother was also kept in the dark. He believed the report and submitted it directly to Tsing Yi Mansion. It can only be regarded as negligence."

Cheng Di ignored him, and continued: "My father thought it was just a group of ordinary thugs, so he took two teams of Qingyi guards and rushed to Xiaoyifang without much preparation."

Cheng Di paused and said, "That was also the first time I played with my father after joining the Tsing Yi Guards."

Cheng Di was full of memories, and said: "When we arrived at Xiaoyifang, it was just when the sun was setting. The sunset glow that day was so beautiful that it dyed the entire western sky in blood. When we broke into the secret den of the group of spiritual eyes , they are holding sacrifices."

Cheng Di's face gradually turned ferocious: "A group of people in red long clothes are worshiping a tree-shaped statue with a pair of black eyes. There is an altar in front of the statue, and there are at least a hundred eyes inside. A pair of boys and girls, who had just had their eyes gouged out, are crying in pain."

Cheng Di looked at Dong Kuo and said, "Brother Dong San should be familiar with those two children, right?"

Dong Kuo said sadly: "That was born to my elder brother's concubine, who was also my nephew. Unfortunately, after being rescued, he died three days later due to his serious injuries and excessive shock. Eldest brother also ran away from Hanjiang Road. Ugh!"

Cheng Di said: "It was because my father saw the two nephews that he saw the scene at that time, so he was so angry that he rushed over and wanted to rescue them from the hands of the two priests, but he didn't expect that the two priests had incomparably weird abilities. Blind him with a spell, and drive the branch into his heart."

As he spoke, he took out an emerald green branch from the scabbard of the dagger at his waist. It was only one foot long. The branch didn't look sharp. What was strange was that there were still a few leaves on it, which seemed to be alive. .

Even at a distance, Zhang Sui could feel the spiritual energy and a trace of doomed power emanating from the branch.

Cheng Di held the branch tightly, and the veins on his hands were bulging due to too much force.Cheng Di gritted his teeth and said, "In just two breaths, all the blood in my father's body was sucked dry by this branch. It's a pity that he has all the martial arts in Kunzhou Prefecture, and he has no way to fight back against this kind of evil thing. Force, instant death!"

Dong Kuo and Zhang Sui also had heavy faces when they heard this.

Cheng Di then said with a sneer: "Maybe the priest was not good enough. After plotting against my father, he collapsed to the ground. The other priest tried to snatch the branch, but I killed him with an arrow. The brothers behind him also reacted. The following group of congregants dressed in red are a group of crazy people. Seeing the priest being killed, they all attacked us. We killed them all."

Zhang Sui's heart moved, and he said to Cheng Di, "Can you show me that branch?"

Without hesitation, Cheng Di handed the branch directly to Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui took the branch, squeezed it lightly, and found that the branch was as hard as iron, and even if he increased his strength, the branch would not be damaged at all.

What's even more strange is that Zhang Sui could clearly feel the power of catastrophe and the power of purification contained in the branches. The two kinds of power seemed to be entangled and circulated around a place in the branches that seemed to be the core.

The branch seemed to have emotions, and Zhang Sui could feel it when he received it, just like the jujube tree at home, but he didn't know if it was the instinct of the branch, or something else.

Zhang Sui hesitated for a while, but without absorbing the power in the branch, he stretched out his hand and returned the branch to Cheng Di, saying to him, "Take this branch, Commander Cheng, it may have some strange power, but it hasn't been revealed yet." come out."

Cheng Di took the branch, nodded, put the branch back into the scabbard, and hung it back on his waist.

Then he said: "Later, I took my father's cronies to escort me, and according to the trajectory of those crazy people, I tracked down a village called Lingguang Village in Weishan Mountain, which is also the remote place that Mr. Zhang said. At that time The Lingguang Village is not as inaccessible as it is now, but the people who enter will be affected, but it is not a big problem. In that village, I found that strange big tree, a big tree with two eyes!"

Cheng Di paused for a while, then continued: "When we tracked down there, there were two groups of people confronting each other, one was the Lingmu Sect in red clothes, and the other seemed to be a martial arts sect, but I had never seen it before.

The number of people taught by Lingmu is far more than that sect, but that sect has not lost the wind in the slightest, and its skills are quite powerful.Seeing us coming, the group of martial arts practitioners quickly retreated, leaving only the group of Lingmu sects facing us.

I wanted to retreat at that time. After all, the number of Qingyi guards I brought was too small at that time, but those Lingmu believers seemed to have received some instructions, and they suddenly scattered and fled when they were outnumbered. The personal guards beheaded nearly a hundred people, but it was a pity that no one was found to be the leader in the end. Since then, no Lingmu believers have been seen. "

Cheng Di picked up a cup of cold tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, and moistened his throat.

Then he said: "After the follow-up people arrived, we went back to the Lingguang Village and found their village chief, and only then did we learn something about it.

The strange tree in the village suddenly appeared on a night of thunder and lightning, followed by the appearance of the group of Lingmu believers. At first, the villagers were just curious and ignored them, but then some people in the village also joined them inexplicably. The people who joined seemed to be different people, and their behavior became weird. Later, the villagers stayed away from that group of people. "

At this point, Cheng Di stopped, turned to Dong Kuo and said, "You can tell Mr. Zhang the rest."

Dong Kuo nodded helplessly, and said: "Later, we reported the situation of the strange tree to the imperial court, and the imperial court quickly sent several Taoist priests to take over the matter. Those two Taoist priests did not know what they did to the tree. Soon the tree began to blossom and bear fruit. Two Taoist priests took away the fruit and asked my father to send someone to watch it there.

But that village has become more and more strange. There are always people secretly throwing sacrifices, melons, fruits, livestock, and even human torsos to the big tree, but the person who put them has never been caught.

The people living inside would always go crazy without warning, even the soldiers guarding over there were no exception, some had drastically changed temperaments and were extremely bloodthirsty.In the end, there was no other way but to move out the entire village and find another place to resettle.

They just sent people to guard the outside, and sent people in to pick the fruit once a year, but nothing happened afterwards. "

Dong Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since the year before last, the situation has started to go wrong. That village has become extremely strange, the whole village has become dark and gloomy, and even the daytime looks like nighttime.

People who go in feel like they've been inside for a long time, but people outside just come out as soon as they see them go in.Since last year, no one has been able to go in to pick the fruit of that strange tree, because the tree cannot be found after entering.

Later, the imperial court sent people to check it out, but in the end it was nothing. It just ordered strict guards, not to let people in casually, and at the same time block the news, so that ordinary people do not know. "

Cheng Di interjected from the side: "But you still let people in, and in the end a catastrophe happened."

Dong Kuo became a little annoyed when he heard this, and said angrily, "Then what do you want me to do? That guy's father is the court boy censor, don't you know that old guy's virtues? He is famous for protecting his shortcomings. His father is not willing to offend him easily, but you are good enough to scare his precious son crazy, if my father didn't show his face, do you think you can easily pass the test and secure your leadership position?"

Cheng Di was also silent when he heard the words, for a long time, he said in a hateful voice: "If the same thing happens again, I will definitely not hold back!"

Dong Kuo supported his forehead and sighed: "Okay, I know you are the iron-blooded and ruthless Commander Cheng, so don't show me!"

Zhang Sui felt itchy when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "I see that you have a very good relationship in private, what is it that makes you fight against each other so often?"

Dong Kuo snorted coldly and said, "Let him speak for himself!"

Cheng Di said with no expression on his face: "The son of Tong Yushi, Tong Xiao, brought a few guards to Kunzhou to play. I don't know who said something about the remote place, so he wanted to see it.

Dong Kuo let the group of them in. After he came out, he was normal at first, but as soon as he returned to Kunzhou, two of his guards went crazy and injured more than ten innocent passers-by. I took the Tsing Yi guards and killed them in the street. Killing, the blood spattered Tong Xiao all over, and he went crazy from fright on the spot. "

Dong Kuo said helplessly at the side: "Can't you capture them and send them off? Even if you take Tong Xiao away and kill the two guards! I know that guy has a bad mouth, but he must Would it be nice to splash his blood all over? It turned out okay, people are crazy!"

Cheng Di argued: "Firstly, the situation was urgent, and the situation of those two people became more and more brutal. Secondly, I didn't expect that boy to be so timid. And who knows whether the guy went crazy because he was frightened, or whether he was scared or not. It was affected by the remote land. Didn't it also recover in the end?"

He said to Zhang Sui, "It's the guy I told you that was sobered up by a Taoist slap."

Zhang Sui was stunned.
