Chapter 316 The smell of rot!
Qin Yun looked over, and with the help of the firelight, he finally saw the collapsed base of the Buddha statue.
It turned out to be a downward passage with steps!
His face changed drastically, and he felt shocked, happy, and angry.
The place where rats are raised might really be Huisheng’s current hiding place!
"Exterminate rats, exterminate rats first!"
"We can't let these rats escape, otherwise they will flee into the mountains and cause endless trouble!"
Qin Yun roared, already impatient to clean up all the sick rats and then go down to find out what was going on.
There are hundreds of imperial guards, but not enough manpower!
Outside the temple, a large number of soldiers were dispatched, holding torches and burning the sick rats.
But there will always be some that slip through the net, break through the defense line, bite the imperial guards, and then escape into the open space.
Outside the temple.
The people who were waiting for the medicine were frightened and fled in all directions!
Pfft!
General Feng Xin arrived, nailed a sick rat to death with a spear, and led his officers and soldiers to quickly form a human wall.
He roared at the crowd: "The Chaotian Temple is raising sick rats and causing plague, hoping to use this opportunity to gain fame and fortune!"
"I will hunt down sick rats in compliance with your majesty's order!"
"Everyone, don't panic!"
The sound exploded and calmed the people.
And the officers and soldiers did stop the sick rats that rushed out and killed them one after another.
The people were shocked and confused. Looking at the temple where they once worshipped devoutly, their hearts began to waver!
"Could it really be that the holy monk of Chaotian Temple did this? Did he want to direct and act in the drama himself to enhance the reputation of the temple?" someone shouted in pain.
"These damned people don't care about other people's lives just for their own selfish interests!"
"This is more than just not caring about the lives of others, this is simply bringing disaster to the people!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"
"Kill these monsters who are raising plague!"
"..."
Countless people began to curse angrily, presenting a one-sided public opinion.
What's worse, the people who lost their family members took up rakes and farm tools and started to hunt down the sick rats.
The scene was full of outrage!
After a stick of incense!
Rat eradication is coming to an end!
General Feng Xin entered the temple to report the situation to Qin Yun, but he was shocked to see the mess and the densely packed sick rats that were burned to death!
He said in horror: "Your Majesty, I have been hunting sick rats in Jiangbei for so long, but I have not killed as many as those in Chaotian Temple..."
"How many of these evil monks have they raised?"
Qin Yun watched the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield with a cold look in his eyes: "The number is unknown."
"But the place where the rats are raised hasn't even been revealed yet!"
"I am very curious about how these evil monks feed such a large population of rats and train them to become man-eating monsters!"
As he spoke, he looked at the soldier who was bitten and carried away, and a hint of murderous intent inadvertently appeared in his eyes!
Rats eat people just like tigers.
How terrible!
After a while, the remains of the rats in the open space were cleaned up, burned and buried.
Qin Yun was followed by many Jinyiwei, slowly approaching the passage to the base of the Buddha statue.
A foul and unpleasant smell was wafting in the air.
This was not the smell of burning rats, but came from the bottom of the cave.
Xiang Shengnan covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, frowning slightly: "This smell... why does it smell so much like a rotting corpse?"
General Feng Xin looked stern and said seriously: "This is not a resemblance, this is exactly it!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun's expression became even uglier.
Could it be that Chaotian Temple is as bloodthirsty as the Ni'er Society, and the bodies of countless victims are buried at the bottom of this cave?
No matter what, he decided to go down and take a look himself!
He cannot rest in peace until he finds the will.
"go!"
"The Imperial Guards are leading the way!"
He ordered, his courage oozing from every inch of his body!
Which emperor would dare to get involved in such a thing and do it personally?
Xiang Shengnan looked at him strangely again, her beautiful eyes flickering, and her favorability towards him quietly increased.
"Your Majesty, please let me go."
"I promise to complete the mission!" Feng Xin dissuaded.
Qin Yun waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"
"You just need to guard the perimeter. If the sick rats come back, they will be strangled on the spot."
After saying this, he didn't give Feng Xin any chance to dissuade him and his eyes fell on Xiang Shengnan.
She has a graceful figure and picturesque features. If you ignore her face under the veil, she is truly an impeccable beauty.
It would be a real shame for a woman like this to go down and deal with dead rats.
"Don't follow me, just stay up there."
After giving the instructions, Qin Yun turned around quickly and walked towards the steps at the base.
For some reason, Xiang Shengnan didn't want to separate from him. Perhaps it was some kind of magnetic field and attraction from Qin Yun that made her keep getting closer to him.
She took small steps, caught up with him and said softly, "Since someone as noble as Your Majesty can go down, why can't I?"
"Eliminating rats and catching monks is also the goal of the Xiang family!"
"Could it be that Your Majesty looks down on a little girl like me?"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "The scene below is probably the real hell on earth, and Huisheng might be in there, it's very dangerous, are you sure you want to come along?"
Xiang Shengnan didn't say anything, but walked forward and stepped into the cave.
Even though the smell was foul, she remained calm on the surface.
Seeing this, Qin Yun secretly commented in his heart, this is truly a woman with a strong heart.
What a pity, beauty is envied by God!
When this matter is over, I will ask Dr. Sun to help restore her appearance.
The group slowly walked into the hole at the base.
In the front were the imperial guards holding up torches to clear the way, in the middle were Qin Yun and Xiang Shengnan who were closely protected by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and behind them were also officers and soldiers.
The passage goes on and on, extremely quiet and secluded. I don't know how long it is or where it leads to.
Just after walking up a hundred steps, a black shadow flashed in a dark corner!
Xiang Shengnan screamed and turned pale with fear!
Old Feng was quick-witted and with a light kick, he crushed the sick rat hiding in the corner to death.
Qin Yun looked at Xiang Shengnan who was holding his wrist and laughed.
He patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a remnant of a sick rat."
Xiang Shengnan calmed down, let go of his hand, and her cheeks felt hotter than ever before!
Being scared was secondary, the main thing was grabbing Qin Yun's hand.
She raised her beautiful eyes and stole a glance at Qin Yun, thinking in her heart, "Will he think that I did this on purpose, and approached him with utilitarian motives?"
She even suddenly regretted following him. If she hadn't followed him, it wouldn't have been so embarrassing.
The team continued on their journey, exploring further down the passage.
As they went deeper, the stench became worse and worse, and sick rats appeared more and more frequently, causing the imperial guards to vomit and suffer from various problems.
Fearing an accident, Feng Lao said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I will take you up."
"With the help of the people below, you don't need to do it yourself."
Qin Yun frowned slightly: "No, this matter is too important. If I hide behind, how will the soldiers see me as the emperor?"
"Besides, the troubles caused by the royal family themselves must be solved by me, the head of the royal family!"
Hearing this, Mr. Feng fell silent.
Xiang Shengnan appreciated it.
The emperors in the past had made too many mistakes, but now, it is a great virtue to admit their mistakes and correct them!
At this moment.
The imperial guards who were exploring the way ahead came back with torches held high and reported: "Your Majesty, we are almost at the end!"
Qin Yun's eyes lit up: "Did you find anything?"
Just after he asked the question, the imperial guards who were exploring the way below suddenly burst into vomiting and screaming!
"what!"
"Is that a dead person?!"
The trembling voice clearly contained extreme fear!
Qin Yun's scalp exploded. What happened? !
The Imperial Guards are of extremely high quality. Unless they encounter something too terrible, they will never be at a loss, and their facial expressions won't even change.
