Everyone searched separately.
I almost turned the yard upside down, but found nothing.
Nangong Jiu's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character: "It can't be wrong, we must have overlooked something, let's look carefully again.
Since the water in the pot is still hot and the silver and rice in the house are all there, he must have just gone out."
The few of them dispersed again and carefully searched every inch of the house.
When the search was almost over, everyone felt uneasy.
Nangong Jiu even used his small body to crawl under the bed and search, but found nothing.
Xiao Wang was so anxious that he changed his body and sniffed carefully inside and outside the house with his dog nose.
Sudden.
Xiao Wang circled the water tank twice and then stopped.
"Your Majesty, there's something strange here!" Xiao Wang knocked on the water tank with his claws.
Nangong Jiu was not as tall as the water tank, so he couldn't see what was inside. "What's inside?"
"Clear water."
"Move it away and see!"
Wuwang took a step forward, grasped the edge of the jar with both hands and exerted force, and the jar was lifted and placed aside.
At the moment Wuwang moved the water tank away, Xiao Wang's hair stood up and his eyes stared at the bottom of the tank.
Everyone looked over and found that there was another secret under the water tank.
A hole slightly smaller than the bottom of the water tank, smoothed with special material, appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone gathered around cautiously, and Nangong Jiu simply took out a night pearl and shone it into the cave.
This gave everyone goosebumps.
There were several pottery jars placed side by side inside, and there were some strange-looking insects rustling in the jars.
There was also a disgusting fishy smell in the cave.
“This is the source of the disease!
The plague I encountered before was a poison made from the venom of several kinds of poisonous insects. Anyone who came into contact with it would experience vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, alternating chills and fever, and it was also rapidly contagious."
Taoist Qingchen asked Nangong Jiu for his opinion: "How do you want to deal with this, Lord Jiu?"
"Leaving this kind of filth behind is a disaster. It has killed so many people. It's really going to burn!"
Taoist Qingchen agreed and set the poisonous insect on fire, causing it to squeak and struggle desperately.
Soon after, a burning smell was emitted.
After waiting for no movement, Taoist Qingchen found a stick and dug a few times. After confirming that everything was burned to ashes, he moved the water tank back to its original position.
When the wind blew, the burning smell was blown away, as if nothing had happened.
"Jiu Jun, should we leave or stay?"
"Of course we have to keep it. The bugs are dead, but the people are still here. Let's look around and see if there's any prepared poison left."
Everyone searched again, but found nothing and gave up.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Wang heard footsteps approaching the courtyard and hurriedly reminded everyone.
Several people quickly hid their figures.
After a while, a middle-aged man pushed open the gate and came into the yard.
Nangong Jiu stared at the man for a while, then looked at everyone in surprise and said with his spiritual sense, "It's actually him, the noodle stall owner!
Don't touch him yet and see what he will do."
The middle-aged man entered the house and burned incense and prayed in front of a portrait.
"Ancestor, it seems that the child who saved people is really the empress who came to the mortal world to experience tribulations. Her method of saving people is the same as recorded.
The unfilial son just went for a walk on the street. Now there are more pedestrians on the street and people's lives are slowly returning to normal. The plague has really been cured by her.
Moreover, she bought food and distributed it to the people.
She is a good person who helps people in need. Although she ruined our good thing, I don't hate her.
The man in the palace wants to exchange forgiveness for a confession of guilt and abdication. How can I let him do that?
Alliance Leader Ye saved my life and gave me money to help me when I was injured. I set up a noodle stall to make a living. I must avenge his blood feud.
This time, I want to change my strategy and start from the palace!
Just wait, in a few days the new emperor will ascend the throne, and that will be their death!"
"Are you sure you have that ability?" Nangong Jiu snorted.
The middle-aged man was terrified: "Who are you? Come out!"
Nangong Jiu and others appeared.
"So, it's you guys!"
Nangong Jiu stared at him with a sullen face.
"If you want revenge, I won't stop you, but you absolutely shouldn't have involved innocent people and caused their deaths!
Moreover, I also have revenge to take.
Your Beisha League, as a well-known martial arts gang, should have been able to distinguish right from wrong, but you took money from people and killed them for them.
Most of my family members are the elderly, the weak, women and children, and you actually sent out so many people with great martial arts skills to kill them.
You said, should I settle this account with you?"
The middle-aged man defended himself, "Ye Zhengxiong is the emperor. He threatened our survival, and Alliance Leader Ye refused. He really couldn't refuse.
As the victim, you deserve to be repaid. Once I have avenged Alliance Leader Ye, I will willingly die to repay the justice owed to you by the Northern Evil Alliance."
Nangong Jiu sneered.
“If you had made such a request before you harmed the people, I might have agreed.
But because of you, so many innocent people died. How could I possibly forgive you? Everything has its cause and effect. You must reap the fruits of the evil you sowed.
What's more, if you want him to die, it's almost impossible, and it will only result in more innocent people dying."
The middle-aged man knelt down and said, "Please help me!"
"Helping you harm others? What do you think of me? Your killing tool?
There is no point in saying more. If you hand over the poison, I will give you a dignified death."
The middle-aged man looked like he was crazy: "I just want to kill Zhao Zhengxiong and avenge my brothers in the Northern Evil Alliance!"
"The way you killed Zhao Zhengxiong was just to make the people take the blame for him. Who should those innocent people turn to for revenge?"
"After I have taken revenge, I will die as a token of my guilt!"
Little Wang and Little Xing both snorted coldly, "How can you, with your one rotten life, pay for the lives of tens of thousands of people?"
Nangong Jiu simply waved his hand, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground dead.
Wuwang searched his body and actually found a porcelain bottle from his waist.
“Don’t move…”
Nangong Jiu's reminder was still a little late. Wuwang pulled out the cork and put it under his nose to smell it.
The man then shook his body and fell down softly.
Nangong Jiu quickly stepped forward and placed a palm on Wuwang's forehead.
Taoist Qingchen used his spiritual power to sweep the porcelain bottle into an earthenware jar, burned the poison with fire, and put it and the jar into the storage ring.
"Qingchen, I'm afraid this hasn't completely eliminated the poison. I'll deal with it when I get back."
Nangong Jiu nodded and looked at Wuwang, who had recovered by now: "Thank you, Master!"
"Don't be so reckless next time!"
"Master is right!"
"Get up and move around. See if you still feel uncomfortable?"
Wuwang stood up, stretched out his arms, and tried to use his spiritual power again. He said happily, "My disciple is not feeling any discomfort!"
"Everyone go change your clothes and burn all the clothes you are wearing before leaving. And burn him too, to prevent future trouble."
"Master is afraid..."
