Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 246 Total Destruction

"The body was buried."

"Where is it buried?"

"Under the cliff."

"…bury it or throw it away."

"threw."

"Is this how you treat your brothers?"

"We are in the middle of nowhere and we don't have the right tools to dig a grave to bury him, so we have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

"Oh~~"

After hearing the short man's half-truthful words, Luo Xiaoran turned and left. Tu Ye followed her and asked in a low voice, "We haven't even found your brother yet, and you're leaving like this?"

"Don't talk, just follow me!"

Luo Xiaoran went down the mountain along the same route that Tu Ye had taken her before. She went down very fast and Tu Ye could hardly keep up with her. Until Luo Xiaoran suddenly stopped, Tu Ye also stopped, his mind full of confusion.

"Miss Luo, why did you stop?"

Luo Xiaoran turned her head and looked deep into the woods, and said firmly: "He is not following us anymore, let's go back and be gentle."

Tu Ye: Is there anyone following them?

……

Luo Xiaoran and Tu Ye carefully followed the short man all the way to Hulu Temple, where they saw him knock on the Taoist's door.

"You've returned just in time. The Resurrection Pill has been refined. Please keep it well and hand it over to the person sent by Lord An tomorrow. I will take a rest first."

"But Taoist priest..." Before the short man could finish his words, the old Taoist priest went into the inner room to rest and closed the door, leaving him alone with a sad face.

"Resurrection Pill?"

The butcher who was eavesdropping outside the house couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, which immediately alerted the short man in the house.

When the door opened, the three of them looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

"What is the resurrection pill?" Luo Xiaoran asked Tu Ye, but her eyes were fixed on the short man to prevent him from making any small moves.

At this moment, Tu Ye had guessed the reason why An Luhai arrested the little beggar. He said with a complicated expression:

"It is said that the Resurrection Pill can prolong life and is a tonic, but it requires the hearts of young boys and girls as a guide."

Luo Xiaoran's pupils suddenly shrank, as if she wanted to turn her eyes into sharp arrows to stab to death the short man in front of her who was holding the resurrection pill.

"You said the children had all run away. Did you actually kill them by cutting out their hearts?"

"No! No! They really ran away, I didn't lie to you!" The short man hurriedly explained, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Then whose heart is the pill in your hand made of?" Luo Xiaoran sneered, obviously not believing what the short man said.

"It belongs to Li Zhong, the man who was killed by the little beggar. The little beggar has run away. We can't hand over the medicine, so we can only use Li Zhong's heart to get away with it."

"The hearts of adults and children are different in size. How could this old Taoist be so easily fooled by you?" Luo Xiaoran continued to ask.

"In the past, the Taoist priest personally dug out the heart to make the elixir. Today, we dug out the heart and gave it to him directly. Although he felt it was strange, he has always been a noble and proud person. He thought that we would not dare to deceive him, so he did not ask any more questions." The short man replied.

Luo Xiaoran laughed. Her laughter was low at first, then became louder and louder. In the silence of the night, it was very creepy.

The exhausted old Taoist had just fallen asleep on the bed when he was suddenly awakened by the strange laughter. He had to get up and come out to check.

Seeing Luo Xiaoran and Tu Ye appear again, the old Taoist frowned and said unkindly, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back again?"

Just as the short man was about to say something, Luo Xiaoran spoke first:

"I heard that the Taoist priest has excellent alchemy skills and can even easily make the Resurrection Pill. We all admire him very much!"

The irony in Luo Xiaoran's words was very strong, and the old Taoist heard it. Although he was unhappy, he didn't dare to offend her easily when he thought that Luo Xiaoran had killed two people in a row, so he put aside his status and replied:

"I was only in charge of refining the elixir. It was Lord An who ordered them to capture your brother," the old Taoist pointed at the short man, "and your brother is not dead, so there should be no grudge between us. I will not tell Lord An about your visit today. You two should leave quickly!"

Luo Xiaoran felt disgusted even to look at this sanctimonious old Taoist priest for a second longer. She turned her head to ask Master Tu, "How many times have you seen An Luhai send people to get the elixir?"

Master Tu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Two or three times."

Luo Xiaoran nodded, "Then he has dug out the hearts of at least two or three children. This is really a serious sin!"

When Luo Xiaoran thought about the fact that An Luhai captured so many children just to refine a soul-resurrection pill to protect the pregnancy of his concubine, she couldn't help but feel a strong anger in her heart!

If the children had not escaped, if I had not found this place tonight, Chen'er and Niu Dan would have been put into a sack, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in that small room, and then one day they would be taken out like chicks, and their hearts would be cut out to use as medicine.

And she will never find her brothers again.

Luo Xiaoran stepped over the threshold and walked into the house, and Tu Ye followed in.

"Kill them!" Luo Xiaoran looked at Tu Ye and closed the door behind her.

Tu Ye was stunned, "Me?"

Luo Xiaoran handed the dagger to Tu Ye, "That's right! Just consider it as a token of your loyalty!"

At first, Tu Ye was a little concerned that these two people were An Luhai's men, but since Luo Xiaoran had spoken, if he didn't do as he was told, he might have to die here with these two people, right?

Thinking of this, Tu Ye's heart trembled, and then he looked at the short man and the old Taoist with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You two have disregarded human life for your own selfish desires. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and put an end to you!"

After saying that, Butcher rushed towards the short man with a dagger in his hand. The short man would not surrender, and the two soon started fighting in the house. Seeing this, the old Taoist hurriedly walked into the inner room.

Luo Xiaoran immediately chased after him, but found that the old Taoist was no longer in the inner room. The window was wide open, and when she looked out, it was pitch black and she could not see anything.

There was no trace of trampling on the window, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in Luo Xiaoran's eyes.

She closed the window and waited quietly.

The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down. The cloth covering Butcher's face had fallen off, and he walked in with his teeth bared.

"Miss Luo, I'll return the dagger to you."

"Your mission is not yet complete. It won't be too late to kill that old Taoist and return the dagger to me."

Master Tu looked around and said, "Where is that Taoist hiding? I'll send him to the west right now!"

"He should still be in the house. Look for him, but don't take it lightly. Since he dares to cut open his heart to make the elixir, he must not be an ordinary person who has never seen blood." Luo Xiaoran reminded Tu Ye.

Uncle Tu nodded repeatedly, and after searching for a while, he found the Taoist priest under the bed.

The old Taoist wanted to resist, but was pulled out by Butcher, who was on guard, and the dagger was stabbed straight into his heart.

The one who dug out people's hearts died from being stabbed in the heart. The Taoist's death was quite artistic.

"Miss Luo, what should we do next?"

"Go back, find someone, and search the mountain!"
