At the end of the stone stairs, in front of the stone wall, stood a little boy, about five or six years old, with a copper candlestick on his head, his hands hanging down, his eyes motionless, and he looked as if he was smiling.
Could it be a dead child?
Jian Ning's heart sank. He walked forward silently, leaned over to take a look, and anger suddenly filled his heart.
This child is worse than an animal. Mercury was injected into him while he was alive. Judging from the color of his skin, he must have died not long ago. This is so damn inhumane!
After blowing out the candle, Jian Ning placed the child and the copper candlestick in the Baicao Room. Without a monk to help the child's soul, it would never be reborn.
She walked to the right aisle. In the middle of the aisle, there was a boy on each side, about five or six years old, also with a copper candlestick on his head.
Madman! This man must be a madman with a horrible mind!
After Jian Ning placed the two boys in the Baicao Room, she quickened her pace and walked along the winding corridor. Suddenly, her vision opened up and a pavilion appeared before her. Unknown flowers bloomed inside the pavilion, and vines climbed the railings. Most surprising of all, there was a starry sky overhead, and a full moon shone brightly within it.
What kind of high-tech is this?
She concentrated her mind, holding her gun, and looked from room to room. No one was there. As she walked up to the pavilion, an old voice rang out, "Who dares to trespass into this forbidden area?"
Following the sound, Jian Ning spotted an old man with a sage-like demeanor sitting on the grass beside a cluster of flowers. Lying to his right were seven or eight boys, all of them around five or six years old, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive. To the old man's left hand was a long whip, and in front of him was a cauldron of medicine, gurgling. Looking again, he saw nothing beneath his robe; his legs were missing.
Should!
She said coldly: "I will send you to heaven!"
The old man said "Oh", "It's been so many years since I heard anyone say they were going to send this old man to heaven, haha."
Just as he was about to move his hand, Jian Ning shot out a flying needle, then stepped forward and kicked the whip away, saying coldly: "Are you surprised and surprised to hear this now? You scumbag, you actually used a child to refine the Tianlong Regeneration Pill, damn it!"
Jane Ning had seen a record of the Tianlong Regeneration Pill in the medical book given to her by Grandma Wu, but the record was incomplete, only recording one of the main ingredients. Jane Ning vaguely remembered that it had to be 49 boys aged five to six, and there were also regulations on the month and time of year.
When the old man heard Jian Ning mention the Tianlong Regeneration Pill, his muscles twitched violently and his voice suddenly rose: "You also know that the Tianlong Regeneration Pill really exists, right? I can really regenerate my legs, right? Is that right?"
Seeing that he was extremely excited, Jane Ning just shot him!
Damn it! He dared to commit such a cruel act without even knowing for sure. He actually sacrificed innocent children to refine elixirs just to give himself a pair of legs. He's worse than an animal! She hurried forward to check on the children. Thankfully, they were all alive, just unconscious. After placing them all in the herb room, she looked up at the starry sky.
She thought the old man was a king, but he turned out to be a bronze. What was with the starry sky and moon above his head? Was it not high technology but an illusion?
Just as Jian Ning was about to move under the moon to take a closer look, his right foot suddenly tightened. "Tell me, is the Tianlong Regeneration Pill real?"
The old man was still struggling to breathe and refused to die. He held her feet tightly and asked.
"Go ask the King of Hell!" Jian Ning hit him a few more times, and this time he was completely dead. She broke free and kicked him away, but her vision suddenly went dark, and then there was a loud clatter, and a large string of glowing beads rolled down.
Jane Ning picked up one and looked at it, then looked up. There was a large stone chamber. The stars and moon were actually made of night-shining pearls. She wondered what kind of magic the old man had used. She picked up all the night-shining pearls, then casually picked up the old man's whip and threw it into the herb garden. Then she picked up the old man and walked towards the corridor.
The old man's body must be exposed by the government for seven days and seven nights to give an explanation to the parents of the three deceased children and to comfort the children's souls in heaven after their salvation.
She carried the old man up the aisle and turned around to find that all the flowers and vines in the garden had withered. When she went out, she shot all the guys who had been hit by the tranquilizer bullet. These accomplices deserved to die!
Jian Ning came out of the ear room, and Luo Junxian came towards him with someone. Almost at the same time, Jian Ning pulled the trigger and the opposite party also threw out a hidden weapon.
Both sides avoided the attacks perfectly. Jian Ning tiptoed up to the roof with the old man in his arms, first sending a secret signal to Ma Fuquan and firing a flare.
As the signal flare went off, there was a commotion inside and outside the manor. Someone shouted from the rooftop, and suddenly countless sharp arrows and hidden weapons were fired towards the rooftop with a piercing sound. Jian Ning rolled and jumped a few times, almost reaching the backyard. A child woke up and was ejected from the grass, tumbling down towards the rooftop.
The child was so scared that he cried loudly. The people in the yard had lit torches and arrows were shooting at the roof like rain. Jane Ning swung out the old man's long whip to hit the flying arrows and hidden weapons, then wrapped it around the child and pulled him back. Fortunately, she picked up the whip. She threw the old man into the backyard, held the child in one hand and jumped down with a gun in the other.
Several slackers rushed into the backyard. Were they so eager to kill? Jian Ning fired a few bullets back and sent them to the west.
Gunshots were also heard outside the gate of the manor. Ma Fuquan and Captain Guan led their men to attack the main gate, while Jian Ning guarded the backyard with full firepower.
Wang Da rushed over with his sword in hand, followed by Ma Xiaomai wielding two kitchen knives.
"Leave this to me, you two take the people to the back room." Jian Ning was in a killing mood. Children kept being thrown out of the grass room after they woke up. In the dim light, Wang Da couldn't figure out where these children came from. He just carried them away one by one when he saw them.
"Master, Uncle Wang can go alone, I want to go with you." Ma Xiaomai shouted.
"Okay!" Jian Ning handed him an XL. After a few demonstrations, he was able to use it. He shot down a man with one shot and jumped up excitedly. "Master, what is this?"
"Unique hidden weapon."
Don’t ask, the answer is it’s a unique hidden weapon.
More and more people poured into the backyard. Luo Junxian wanted to catch Ma Xiaomai and Ma Fuquan to negotiate, but Jian Ning threw out a few grenades, making them cry for their parents. She changed to a submachine gun, but she showed no mercy when she thought that these people were helping the evil and using children to refine the Tianlong Regeneration Pill. The barrel of the gun spurted out fire dragons, which quickly suppressed them so that no one dared to move forward.
She and Ma Fuquan attacked from both sides, forcing Luo Junxian and the remaining troops to flee to the second floor, where they hid behind a window and fired poison arrows. Jian Ning and Ma Fuquan joined forces, and without a single word, a single glance, they quickly stood back to back, and two fire dragons shot towards the second-floor window.
Captain Guan led a group of constables and yamen runners, swinging their knives with all their might, and the sound of broken arrows falling to the ground was endless.
In the distance, a long string of torches lit up on the county road, like a moving fire dragon heading towards the manor.
A yamen runner discovered it and shouted, "Guan Gu, look!"
Captain Guan took a quick look and shuddered, "It's the city defense soldiers. The county magistrate must have brought them to reinforce us. Brothers, charge upstairs and capture the Jade-faced Snake King alive. Charge!"
With the sound of horse hooves, a man rode up first. It was not Mr. He, the magistrate of Jin County, but Huo Jincheng, holding a silver spear.
