Xiahou Qing was reading the book in his hand seriously. For a moment, he really didn't know what Xiahou Chun was doing. Could it be that he won the bet?
"What?"
Xiahou Jun hurriedly said, "Pavilion Master, Huangfu Zhong sent a message saying that the experiment was successful and asked if you have time to go over now."
Xia Houqing came back to his senses and stood up from the stool. He threw the book in his hand and said excitedly, "Great, let's go and see our Master Lin Feng!"
However, when he saw Lin Feng still tied to the pillar with lifeless eyes, Xiahou Qing's excitement suddenly disappeared. Instead, he glared at Xiahou Chun with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Huangfu, this, it seems that there is no difference from before?"
"At first glance, it's indeed different, but, Pavilion Master, look here," Huangfu Zhong said as he peeled back Lin Feng's shirt, revealing the dense purple-black lines covering his body. At first glance, these lines looked like they were painted on, but in reality, they matched the acupuncture point diagrams in the pharmacy.
One of Xiahou Qing's previous hidden identities was that of an old doctor in Qinghe County. He could tell these things at a glance: "This is..."
Huangfu Zhong explained, "The puppet silk can mask the foul odor of the living dead and delay the decay of the corpse. The only trace of it is the black thread that spreads from the chest and travels along the meridians."
Xiahou Qing and Xiahou Chun suddenly realized what was going on and said in unison, "So that's how it is!"
Huangfu Zhong then asked, "Also, there is something else I would like to ask for the Pavilion Master's permission for."
After Xiahou Qingxu helped him up, he smiled and said, "Brother Huangfu, it's too polite to say that. Just say what you want to say."
Huangfu Zhong replied: "I need a few living dead, firstly to see the current man's ability; secondly, to dispel the doubts in the Pavilion Master's mind."
Xiahou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh, Brother Huangfu actually knows the doubts in my heart?"
Huangfu Zhong bowed his head and said, "Pavilion Master, you are joking. If I were the Pavilion Master, I would also doubt whether this person who looks like an ordinary person is really what I need. It would be bad if Lin Feng and I reached some consensus to deceive the Pavilion Master."
"Brother Huangfu is indeed my confidant. Xiahou Chun, you've heard everything. Why don't you hurry up and get ready?"
Xiahou Qing looked at Huangfu Zhong and Lin Feng, nodding with considerable satisfaction. If Huangfu Zhong had been a little more ambitious and intelligent, and had been properly trained, he and Xiahou Chun could have been of great help to him. It was just that they had met too late, and he wouldn't place someone in a position of importance that he didn't yet trust.
"yes."
Xiahou Jun carefully had Lin Feng brought to the dungeon where they hid the living dead, then he found a cell with not many living dead and threw Lin Feng in.
After throwing the man in, Xiahou Jun terrifiedly ordered the prison door to be locked. He had originally thought that he would see a very bloody scene, but who knew that those undead who would bite anyone they saw would only circle around Lin Feng for a while before climbing through the prison door and slashing at them.
After Xiahou Qing's doubts were dispelled, he took the initiative to deal with the few zombies that Lin Feng had just put together. After that, Lin Feng walked out like an ordinary person under the guidance of Huangfu Zhong.
Now that everything is fine here, it's time to see how much help Lin Feng can bring them. After Xiahou Qing got a few prisoners who were acquainted with Tang Chen and Lin Feng out of the prison, he watched Huangfu Zhong control Lin Feng, as if he was holding an extremely sharp killing machine in his hand, tearing these people into pieces.
All of this undoubtedly made Xiahou Qing very satisfied: "The Shengxi Gu is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It seems that Brother Huangfu can give me the formula. I will immediately have someone prepare a large quantity."
Huangfu Zhong shook his head slightly upon hearing this and said, "The recipe is simple, but the key is the method of refining the pills, which is different from ordinary pills. Furthermore, the puppet silk I have now can only make fifty pills at most. Even considering the possible loss, the number is still too small."
Xiahou Qing said: "Brother Huangfu, don't worry. In a few days, enough puppet threads will be in your hands."
But Huangfu Zhong didn't seem to think so. "From what I understand, there isn't much puppet silk available on the black market. Unless we take it from the Huangfu family's warehouse, it won't be enough to satisfy the Pavilion Master's needs for the time being."
He was indirectly asking if Tianshu Tower had any spies planted within the Huangfu family, and Xiahou Qing could not fail to notice. This was why he was sometimes just a bit off-key. If Tianshu Tower had spies within the Huangfu family, would they have waited until Shi Zairong discovered them before finally finding out?
Xiahou Qing explained, "Originally, I had the same thought as Brother Huangfu. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough puppet threads and would fail in the final stage. But now that we're facing a one-versus-a-hundred situation, I don't need too many. Besides, the deterrent power of these living dead is not low at all."
Xiahou Jun said, "You two have been talking the whole time, and I'm here too." If Huangfu Zhong wants to challenge him, he'd better not even think about it. This lucrative position belongs only to Xiahou Jun. "Pavilion Master, should Lin Feng be placed separately?"
Xiahou Qing said, "We should separate them so that we don't lose track of him. How about this? Now that he's alone, let's put him next to Brother Huangfu."
"yes."
After Xiahou Qing treated Huangfu Zhong to a feast of fish, meat, abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest as a celebration, he asked Xiahou Chun to send the man back on his behalf. As before, no matter what Huangfu Zhong wanted, they would try their best to satisfy him. The only thing they couldn't do was that he was not allowed to go out at will, and he had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the room.
After Xiahou Chun returned, he brought Xiahou Qing some unimportant news about an unimportant person: "Pavilion Master, I heard that yesterday afternoon, Lin Zhenzhen found the location of the stronghold with Lin Feng's portrait."
Xiahou Qing was slightly taken aback. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Lin Zhenzhen to discover their base. Could it be that Lin Feng leaked the information or there were some blind spies in Tianshu Tower? "When did this Miss Lin become so capable? Did she find out anything?"
Xiahou Jun replied, "No, it seems she was just a blind cat that found a dead mouse. Our people sent her away in a few words."
"Have someone keep a close eye on her. As long as she doesn't move, we still have to give her face to the Lin family."
