C78

Hong Ni saw that he was serious and his expression was calm. He knew that he wouldn't gain anything if he continued to pester him, so he dryly laughed and said, "Great Hero Meng is right! "I only thought about who might kill people, but I never thought that hero Meng would be that kind of person. I'm sorry!"

Seeing him change his attitude in the blink of an eye, Meng Chunlou could not help but feel angry and amused at the same time. He said, "It doesn't matter! Since they were dead, they should at least have an explanation! "Since we're here, I'll be taking my leave!"

With a hint of reluctance, Honeyley walked away from Meng Chunlou. Looking at his retreating back, he could not help but sigh and say, "He's so lucky!"

With regards to Meng Chun Lou's departure, Li San Mao felt discouraged and asked with an unwilling face, "Big Brother, did you really let him go just like that? Why not fight him? "

"The assassin from the Gate of Mystery hasn't arrived yet. Do you think we can fight him with just the few of us?" Hong Ni Le forced a smile, "Back then, when he was infuriated, he killed seventy-nine people, and those who died were much more powerful than the martial arts of the rest of us!"

"No wonder big brother let him go so easily. He doesn't want his eggs to hit a rock!" Li Sandao laughed.

"Although Meng Chunlou is gone, the trouble is still there. If I don't think of a way to solve it, the trouble might come one after another!" Zhu Ergou frowned.

"Kid, have you thought of some rotten idea again?" Honey asked with a mischievous smile.

Zhu Ergou scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Big brother, although Meng Chun Lou may not look as smart as us brothers, but he will come back to his senses eventually. At that time, he will stick to us like dog skin paste, unable to shake us off.

"Just tell me the solution!" Hong Ni rolled his eyes at Zhu Ergou, "How could I not see through such a simple logic?"

"Right now, the only thing we can do is to divert his attention to other places while Meng Quan still hasn't reacted. If that's the case, even if he wanted to stick to us, he wouldn't be able to do so!" Zhu Ergou laughed sinisterly.

"But what can he do to turn his attention elsewhere?" Honile asked.

"Big brother, there's a child in Meng Chunlou's house. Although I'm not sure how close he is to Meng Chunlou, I can at least be certain that if he were to lose him, Meng Chunlou will definitely search for him, no matter the cost!" If we take the kid and hide him in a secret place, do you think Meng Chunlou will go crazy with anxiety? " Zhu Ergou laughed sinisterly.

"This plan works. You guys go ahead and do it!" Hennessy ordered.

"Yes sir!" Zhu Ergou beckoned to Li San Mao and Zhang Si Dai. He was about to go capture Du Jiang Sheng, but then he heard Hong Ni Le ask, "With just your footwork, how could you possibly get home in front of Meng Chunlou?"

"Big brother, don't worry!" We are taking a shortcut! " Zhu Ergou laughed.

Hongluo nodded and said: "Go and return quickly! This matter has been completed, and I will remember your great achievement! "

"Thank you, Big Brother!" With these words, Zhu Ergou brought Li and Zhang to rush to Meng Chun Lou's house.

As for Meng Chun Lou leaving the village, he felt extremely regretful. After all, the death of those two people was really strange. What he didn't understand was that the words they said before and after were completely different!

Maybe they had their reasons, but maybe it was just as Honeyflower had said, they were not ordinary people!

However, that woman's man had clearly beaten someone out of jealousy, and then died from regret. This living scene seemed as though it was right in front of his eyes. Then, how could he explain it?

Moreover, why did the woman's lover suddenly become her brother? Why did she become a fool in the blink of an eye? Everything had happened too quickly, to the point that no one knew how to believe it!

Meng Chunlou's mind was in a mess. She still couldn't figure out what was going on, but she didn't realize that she was already in front of the courtyard.

The gate of the yard was opened. The yard was quiet, as if there was no movement from a living person. He smelled the scent of peanut oil in the air. It was so familiar, yet also so pungent!

If Du Jiangsheng was at home, he would never be willing to let the oil waste so much. Even if he had put in more oil to make the food taste good, he shouldn't let the air be filled with such a strong taste.

An ominous premonition quietly appeared in Meng Quan's mind. He hastily rushed into the courtyard and rushed into the hall. He saw that there was no one inside, but the smell of oil was clearly much weaker.

Following the smell of oil, he chased it all the way to the kitchen, where he saw a jar full of peanut oil spilled all over the floor with great pity, even breaking the oil jar. He hesitated for a moment before thinking, "He's always been careful when doing things, so it's impossible for him to make that kind of mistake!" Furthermore, even if he were to spill the oil on the ground, he would definitely take care of it. Could it be … "

He hurriedly left the kitchen and activated his movement technique. He then rushed out of the courtyard and looked around for Du Jiangsheng, occasionally shouting his name out loud. However, the heavy air seemed to carry a natural ability to absorb sound.

Unknowingly, Meng Chunlou finally heard some movement. It should be the sound of flowing water.

This place should have been covered in grass and had a picturesque scenery. However, the river was currently filled with a strong rancid smell, causing the scenery here to make one feel disgusted!

His chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, suffocating him to the point of being unable to breathe. He instinctively shut his mouth, and just as he was about to quickly rush over to look for her, he suddenly saw a white figure standing amidst the fragrant grass. Although he did not see her appearance clearly, her graceful posture and graceful posture was enough to give people a good impression of her!

Meng Chunlou instinctively went closer and heard the man in white yell, "Don't come near me! There's poison here!"

Although this voice sounded somewhat urgent, it sounded very familiar. After all, not everyone could imitate Yan Jiuniang's voice!

He instinctively looked over and saw Yan Jiuniang seemed to be gathering some kind of herb. He could not imagine why a girl as delicate as her would appear here, nor why would she be gathering herbs with an extremely pungent smell. Was this still the Yan Jiuniang that he had met before?

Like a giant python passing through grass, Meng Chun Lou couldn't help but stare with wide eyes as dozens of green vines, like snakes, slowly approached Yan Jiuniang. They were already not more than seven feet away from her, and in the blink of an eye, those green vines were going to surround her. At that time, she would definitely be in a predicament!

Meng Chun Lou instinctively looked around to see if anyone had intentionally harmed Yan Jiuniang, but she could not see anyone except for the corpses on the ground!

Seeing that the vine was less than five feet away from Yan Jiuniang, and that she had also discovered this point, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright as she involuntarily screamed, "Help!"

With these two words, the ivy once again approached her. At this moment, a sharp green thorn actually appeared at the end of the vine, and there was even some green juice seeping out of it. The leaves that were touched by the liquid instantly turned yellow and withered, and some even had holes in them.

He couldn't wait any longer!

Meng Chun Lou rushed over to try and compete with the vine in terms of speed. He quickly grabbed Yan Jiuniang and, before she could react, he jumped into the air again!

The dozens of vines actually clashed against each other and twisted into a ball, stabbing at each other with their green thorns. It was just a light touch, but because of the pain, they split apart, and then, as if they could smell strangers, they climbed up the big tree, intending to assassinate Meng and Yan in midair!

How could Meng Chun Lou let them succeed?

With his feet on the tree, he borrowed the force from the rebound and carried Yan Jiuniang far away. After a few leaps, he had already left the gloomy and terrifying forest!

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the horizon was bright red like blood. It was truly a sunset glow!

Meng Chun Lou couldn't help but be dazed as she heard Yan Jiuniang laugh out loud, "I've seen too many men in this world. Other than you, Meng Chun Lou, no one else has ever chosen to see the latter between me and the sunset!"

Meng Chun Lou gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Maybe it's because the sunset did not have a blue veil covering her face!"

Yan Jiuniang smiled sweetly, lifted her hand to remove her veil, and then said, "What about now?"

Meng Chun Lou stared at her face for a long time, making her feel embarrassed. She then said with a smile, "As expected, your face is better than the sunset!"

"Is that so?" Yan Jiuniang's face turned red, pointed to the red clouds in the sky and said, "I still think the sunset looks good!"

"How did you get here?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"I came out to collect flowers in the morning and found the river to be muddy and stinky. I tried using a hairpin to test the water and found out that there was poison inside. I thought that someone was spreading poison upstream and wanted to check it out, but I didn't expect that a full day would pass!" Yan Jiuniang bitterly smiled.

"So you haven't eaten all day?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Who says it isn't? If you hadn't saved me just now, I might have been trapped to death! " Yan Jiuniang said.

"I clearly saw you picking herbs just now, how did you say you were trapped?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

Yan Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "How much imagination do you have to imagine my actions of plucking the grass with my hands in order to escape?"

Meng Chun Lou gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Sorry, I was wrong!"

"It doesn't matter! I still have to thank you for saving my life! " Yan Jiuniang gave a faint smile, "Just now was so dangerous, did you not hesitate at all?"

"There's no time to hesitate, because if you're late, your life will be lost!" Meng Chun said.

"Do you know that if you were to be entangled by that Poisonous Vine, even if you had peerless martial arts, you would still not be able to escape death?" Yan Jiuniang asked.

"Since he has peerless martial arts skills, how could he be entangled by poisonous vines?" Meng Chun Lou laughed.

Yan Jiuniang thought about it and also smiled, then said, "Where is your home? Can I have a cup of tea with you? "

"Of course you can! My home is nearby, but it's a little shabby, so I'm afraid that I have been wronged, young lady! " Meng Chun said.

"It's not a big deal! I am also someone who has suffered before! Lead the way! " Yan Jiuniang laughed.

Seeing that she said it so freely, Meng Chunlou did not reject her anymore. He immediately led Yan Jiuniang home, but remembering that Du Jiangsheng was nowhere to be seen, he couldn't help but be worried. He sighed again and again, then heard Yan Jiuniang laugh, "Don't tell me that Great Hero Meng is worried that I will eat dinner at your house after finishing my tea?"

"Not really!" Meng Chunlou smiled awkwardly.

"If that's not the case, then why does Hero Meng keep sighing?" Yan Jiuniang asked.

"My disciple Du Jiangsheng suddenly disappeared. I suspect that he's in trouble!" Meng Chun said.

"Oh? Isn't he your nephew? How did you become your disciple? " Yan Jiuniang asked.

"Because you want to be my disciple, you can't be my nephew anymore!" Meng Chun said.

"Is that so?" Yan Jiuniang gave a wry smile, "That's really strange!"

"There's nothing to be surprised about. It doesn't matter if I think about it!" Meng Chun Lou laughed.

"You said he's in trouble. What's going on?" Yan Jiuniang asked.

Meng Chun let out a long sigh and told Yan Jiuniang everything that had happened today. She furrowed her brows and after thinking for a while, she said, "Those two people were definitely killed by Hong Ni Le and the rest. They can't be wrong!"

"How do you know?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Since they are guarding the entrance of the village, no one will enter the village. Could it be that the villagers were going to kill each other? Even if they have a great amount of hatred, and even look like people on the verge of death, who would be so cruel to who? " Yan Jiuniang asked.

"This …" Meng Chunlou was lost in thought for a moment. "What you said seems to make a lot of sense!"

"Moreover, those villagers have never met you before, so why would they lie to you? The reason why their words are inconsistent, is because they are afraid of the Ruyi Temple's power and lust. After all, they are not clear about your abilities, so there is really no need to make you pay with your life for them! " Yan Jiuniang said.

"This is it!" Meng Chunlou was suddenly enlightened, "I was tricked by them in the end!"

"Through this connection, I guess your disciple must have been taken away by them, because that's the only way to divert your attention elsewhere!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"Makes sense!" Meng Chunlou raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, "I didn't expect these people to be so scheming!"

"I already knew that this place wasn't that simple, so I wanted to come take a look. I didn't expect that there would be a surging tide here!" Yan Jiuniang sighed.

"What is it? You suspected there was something wrong here? " Meng Quan asked doubtfully.

"Many years ago, I heard that there was a plant called the man-eating vine. This plant is not only greedy for human blood, but it also contains a highly toxic poison. The infected people will definitely rot and die, and very few will survive!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"From what you're saying, could it be that those villagers were poisoned by this poison?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Although I haven't seen those villagers before, from the corpses in the forest, they should have died from this poison!" Yan Jiuniang bitterly sighed, "I never thought that there would actually be such a man-eating vine in this world. Furthermore, there's actually someone who would use it to harm others. This killer is simply decaying humanity!"

"How can you be sure that someone used this to harm someone? Could it be that this object was first found here, and then people accidentally poisoned it? " Meng Chun Lou asked.

"Impossible!" Yan Jiuniang mysteriously smiled, "Because the Middle Earth does not have this thing, it only exists in the distant heavens!"

"If someone is really taking advantage of this to harm someone, then is there some sort of earth-shattering conspiracy behind it?" Meng Chunlou tried to guess.
