Chapter 1586 Unlucky
Qin Xiao did not rest that night, but practiced Kung Fu in the tent, but ordered Kou Nanye to send people to keep an eye on Taoist Yeling.
Taoist Yeling didn't go out of his tent all night. When dawn came, Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes for a while. In a daze, he was woken up by someone's voice. When he opened his eyes, he found that Kou Nanye was so excited that he opened the tent directly.
Entering, he said with excitement: "I'm up, I'm really... I'm really up!"
This was what Qin Xiao had expected. He was not surprised. He just smiled and said, "That's great."
He followed Kuchunano out of the tent and arrived at the isolation camp, only to see the old woman walking slowly outside the tent. There were several people watching, all of whom were extremely excited.
"Why did you come out?" Kuchunano saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, "Hurry up and take a rest."
The old woman raised her head and looked at Kuchunano. Only her eyes were exposed, but her eyes were full of joy and she said, "I want to see the sky and the grassland!"
Relieved by his ambition, he looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Xiang Hu, that Taoist priest really has magical powers. He is really a messenger sent by God."
Qin Xiao's heart trembled.
Prairie people's worship of gods is actually much higher than that of the Tang people.
Taoist Yeling's method of resurrecting the dead was so effective that even the well-informed Kou Nanye was in awe.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that if Taoist Yeling continued to treat diseases of the Kou Nan clan, he would soon be regarded as a living god by the entire Kou Nan clan.
"It's not good!" Qin Xiao was thinking to himself when he suddenly heard someone say in panic: "Abika, something... something big has happened!"
I saw a shepherd running towards me in a hurry.
"Why are you so panicked?" Kuchunano saw the person coming and asked, "Where is the Taoist priest? Please ask him to come and save people."
"Abika, something happened, that...that Taoist priest is dead!"
The visitor looked horrified.
Qin Xiao's body was shaken, and Kou Nanye was also stunned. He couldn't believe it. He suspected that he had heard wrong and asked: "Dead? Who is dead?"
"Taoist... that Taoist!" The visitor gasped, "That Taoist is dead!"
Kou Nanye was so shocked that he didn't care about Qin Xiao, rushed over, got on a horse, and flew towards the tent where the Taoist lived.
Although Qin Xiao thought of various possibilities, he really did not expect that Taoist Yeling would die.
He also got on a horse, and Pegasus caught up.
When they arrived outside the Taoist tent, they saw several shepherds looking panicked outside the tent. Kou Nanye had already entered the tent. After Qin Xiao got off his horse, he also opened the tent and entered, only to see people lying on their backs on the ground inside the tent.
One person, motionless, was none other than Taoist Yeling.
Kou Nanye stood aside, dumbfounded.
Qin Xiao walked over with a solemn look on his face. He knelt down and took a quick look. He immediately saw a bloody hole in Taoist Yeling's throat. It was obvious that a sharp weapon had penetrated into it and immediately killed Taoist Yeling.
The murder weapon was not there, Taoist Yeling's eyes widened, and he refused to rest in peace.
"What should I do?" Kuchunano was crying and his voice was trembling: "He...how did he die? Why did he die?"
Qin Xiao glanced at Kou Nanye and knew that of course Kou Nanye did not care about the life and death of Taoist Yeling, but that Taoist Yeling could cure the disease. Now that Taoist is dead, no one can save the many patients of Kou Nanye.
"Didn't someone keep staring at this place last night?" Qin Xiao originally wanted to start with Taoist Yeling to find out what the Queen Mother Association was going to do on the grassland. He also wanted to know what the relationship between this epidemic and the Queen Mother Association was.
The Lingdao man was killed, and the clues were immediately interrupted. He was also a little angry in his heart: "Abika, you didn't send anyone to monitor?"
Kuchunano said hurriedly: "To Hido, I sent four people to take turns to monitor, and we didn't relax for a moment." He said to the outside of the tent: "All the people who were watching last night came in."
Then four shepherds filed in.
Qin Xiao glanced at it and asked, "Are you sure you've been staring at the tent all night and didn't see anyone coming in?"
The four people shook their heads, and one said: "We didn't dare to close our eyes all night. The Taoist didn't leave the tent, and we didn't see anyone approaching?"
Qin Xiao's eyes were sharp, thinking that the Taoist Yeling's secret was obviously killed by someone. If he was always under surveillance, how could he not see anyone coming in? Could it be that the person who came in was a ghost?
His eyes fell on a person's face, and saw that the person had his head lowered, his eyes flickering, and he did not dare to contact him. He walked up to the person and asked: "Did you also???????????? last night?"
???Keeping staring?”
Kou Nanye is also well-informed and can observe his words and demeanor. He has already noticed that something is wrong with that person and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. You must tell the truth and you cannot lie."
The man said in panic: "I...I kept staring last night, but I felt like someone had hit me on the neck, and then I didn't know anything. When I opened my eyes, it seemed like nothing happened...
....!"
Qin Xiao sighed: "That means someone attacked you and knocked you unconscious."
"I...I didn't see anyone!"
"That man's martial arts is not weak, so you didn't notice." Qin Xiao said: "He wanted to enter the tent to kill people, so that you don't want to see him. When you were unconscious for a while, he had already entered the tent to kill people, and then left quietly."
Kuchunano said anxiously: "Xiu Huhu, are you saying that someone in the tribe killed a Taoist?"
"They shouldn't be from your clan." Qin Xiao looked at Taoist Yeling's body, stared at the wound and said, "If Taoist Yeling found someone entering the account, he would have immediately noticed something was wrong and would have called someone immediately, but he died.
There are only two possibilities for the silence."
"What do you mean, Muko Hito?"
"Either the murderer killed Taoist Yeling, and Taoist Yeling had no time to react." Qin Xiao said: "The Taoist's fatal injury was the knife in his throat. It can be seen from the wound that the murderer made a clean and swift attack, killing him with one knife. Taoist Yeling must have seen it.
That man's throat was pierced before he could cry out. From this, we can judge that that man's martial arts is really impressive." Looking at Kou Nanye, he said: "It's not that the Kou Nan clan doesn't have masters, but
The murderer probably does this kind of thing often, and his method is not like ordinary people's fighting, but is specially used for assassination."
Kuchunano shook his head and said: "There is no such murderer in our clan."
"There is another possibility that Taoist Yeling knows the murderer." Qin Xiao said: "When the man entered the account, Taoist Yeling also recognized him, but he did not expect that the other party would kill him. When the man took action, Yeling
It was too late for Ling Taoist to react."
Kuchunanye raised his hand to stroke his beard, thought for a moment, and said: "Xiang Hito, you are right. Although this Taoist has excellent medical skills, but... his origin is very strange. He is from the Tang Dynasty.
When we come to Iron Mountain, the road is far away, and it is not easy for a Taoist to come here safely." The grassland is extremely vast, and various parts of the grassland fall on the prairie. Although the grassland herdsmen are warm and hospitable, there are naturally some vicious people among them.
If you walk alone on the grassland, you will easily encounter vicious horse thieves, killing people and taking possessions, which is also a common occurrence.
Therefore, even if a caravan wants to come to the grassland for trade, it will hire bodyguards to avoid encountering horse thieves on the grassland.
A Taoist priest walks through the grassland and comes to the northern grassland. If he does not have extraordinary martial arts and no companions to protect him, but he can successfully reach Tieshan, it can only be said that Yeling Taoist's luck is really good.
"So Abhijia thinks he has a companion?" Qin Xiao asked. In fact, this was also what he suspected.
Kuchunano nodded slightly, but frowned and said: "But even if he had companions, why would his companions kill him? This... this is really confusing." He glanced at the Taoist's corpse and said sadly:
"If the Taoist dies, there will be no one left to save the people in the clan."
"Abika, is there someone who wants to stop the Taoist from saving us?" a shepherd said.
Kou Nanye was noncommittal and looked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao said: "???????????????If you really didn't want him to save people, you could have killed him long ago. Why wait until now?" After staring at the corpse for a moment, he suddenly said
: "Abika, I remember the Taoist said yesterday that he saves people without asking for anything in return."
"Lambs don't fall from the sky." Kuchunano sighed: "I don't believe that he worked all the way to Iron Mountain just to help us without asking for anything in return."
Qin Xiao thought that this old Pijia was a wise man after all and was not confused. He nodded and said: "He could have continued to save people last night, but he asked to rest. He will wait until you see the treatment effect today before continuing to save people. This is naturally very strange.
Weird. I think he was waiting for you to see his methods before he proposed conditions to you today."
"Yes." Kuchunano nodded and said, "I think so too. But he personally said yesterday that he doesn't want any extraneous things, so the reward he requires must have nothing to do with money."
"Then what conditions will he put forward to you?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth, "Will his death be related to the conditions he is about to put forward?"
Before Kou Nanye could speak, he heard a voice from outside saying: "The bustling and bustling are all for profit, and the bustling and bustling are all for profit. Sometimes gold and silver are the cheapest things in the world. He doesn't need gold and silver, just
It may cost you more."
Qin Xiao's face changed slightly when he heard the voice.
It wasn't that he couldn't hear any movement outside. This was a camp after all, and it was very common for people in the tribe to come and go. Several people who were originally guarding outside were called into the tent. Someone approached and spoke suddenly, which was also surprising.
Unexpected.
Two shepherds had already rushed out of the tent, and someone shouted and asked, "Who are they?"
"What could be the reason for coming to your tribe at this time?" The voice sighed: "Of course it is to save lives."
Qin Xiao and others had also left the tent at this moment. They only saw two people standing a few steps away. They were both tightly wrapped. The person in front was slightly fat, and the person behind was quite short and very tall.
Thin and thin, both of them only show their eyes, but they are both carrying baggage.
Yesterday, a Taoist priest from Yeling came out of nowhere, and two rescuers suddenly appeared. Qin Xiao was suspicious, and for a while he really couldn't figure out what was going on here.
