Chapter 41 The Eldest Brother Is Dead

As for the beehive in his hand, Taoist Songhe also dealt with it a little bit, removing all the traces of the two people's handling, and it looked like a new one. Although it was impossible to eliminate the suspicion of others, they couldn't say anything without evidence.

Just as Qingyang and his apprentice finished dealing with it, they saw a group of people walking towards them. Not only Hu Zhenheng and Qian Banxian, but also another group of five people, only one Hu Zhensong was missing. Hu Zhentai walked in the front, his face was terribly gloomy, and Hu Zhenhua and Hu Zhenheng behind him had red eyes, as if they had just cried, and no one knew what happened.

Seeing Qingyang and his apprentice, Hu Zhentai was obviously stunned and said, "Master Songhe, how did you two escape?"

Yes, being surrounded by seven bees, the two of them were intact. This question is really hard to explain. However, Taoist Songhe had already thought of a pretext, saying: "I once got a handful of saltpeter powder from a strange man in the martial arts world, which is specially used to treat all kinds of flies, insects and flying ants. It was just that it was too long ago that I forgot about it. Later, I was forced to remember that the bees were burned to death."

What is saltpeter powder? People present don't know, but from the name, it should be related to flames and saltpeter. Bees are most afraid of being alive. If their wings are burned, they will completely lose their threat.

The bees here are a little more powerful, but these basic characteristics should still be there. This Taoist Songhe is worthy of being a martial arts senior. He even has such a thing. Many people believe his pretext. Only Qingyang knows that the master is talking nonsense. There is no such thing as saltpeter powder in the world.

Of course, there are also people who don't believe it. Hu Zhenheng behind said: "Taoist Songhe, you have saltpeter powder, why didn't you take it out earlier? Are you deliberately harming us?"

You actually suspected my master? Without waiting for the Taoist Songhe to speak, Qingyang stood up and said, "Didn't my master say it just now? It's been too long and he forgot it. If he remembered it in advance, how could he not use it? Go out and ask around. When has my master ever harmed anyone?"

Everyone knows this without Qingyang saying it. Taoist Songhe has been in the martial arts world for a lifetime and has done a lot of cheating and deceiving things, but he has never cheated a good person or harmed a fellow martial artist. This is obvious to everyone.

But Hu Zhenheng didn't know if he took the wrong medicine or something, but he was relentless and said, "Who knows if it's true or not? It was Taoist Songhe who suggested that everyone go to pick the beehive. He was the first to run away when he encountered danger. Who knows if he did it on purpose?"

"Then what do you want?" Qingyang said angrily.

Perhaps Hu Zhenheng was angry, and being provoked by Qingyang, he immediately became angry, waving the iron hammer with only half a hammer head in his hand, and was about to hit Qingyang on the head. Seeing that his disciple was going to suffer, Taoist Songhe immediately stood in front of Qingyang and prepared to fight back.

Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Hu Zhenhua, who was standing next to him, quickly grabbed his younger brother. Without time to comfort Hu Zhenheng, he first said to Taoist Songhe: "Master, please forgive me. My fifth brother did not intentionally cause trouble for you. It was because my eldest brother just passed away because of this matter. He was so sad that he did this. I hope you don't mind it."

Taoist Songhe was shocked and said, "What? Did the Tiger Gang leader pass away?"

Hu Zhenhua's eyes turned red and said, "Yes, there were four bees chasing my eldest brother and fifth brother at that time. They knew they were no match for them, so they fled towards us. But the road was difficult to travel and they couldn't run fast. In order to protect the fifth brother, the eldest brother was stung by those bees several times. In the end, although we worked together to kill the remaining bees, the eldest brother still died in the end."

Hearing what Hu Zhenhua said, Taoist Songhe had to sigh and then pulled Qingyang back. There is really no way to investigate this matter. The eldest brother died because of his own proposal. It is not surprising to blame himself for the matter. Just curse him.

When Qingyang heard that Hu Zhensong had died, he was full of emotion. This was too sudden.

Hu Zhensong was also a generation of heroes. He led four brothers and developed a small Tiger Gang into a giant that dominated Kaiyuan Prefecture in just over 20 years. He almost annexed their Xiping Prefecture. Moreover, the five brothers of the Hu family were just over 100 years old and in their prime. In time, they might even dominate the entire Liangzhou.

It was such a person who was fine just now, but died in the blink of an eye. This shows how fragile life is. There are many dangers in this secret place, and death is inevitable. It may be you, it may be me, or it may be him, but I never expected that Hu Zhensong, the organizer and leader of the Tiger Gang, would die first.

Before, Pi Yingxiong and Du Chengjin died, and everyone was only slightly sad because they were only second-rate people in the world and were insignificant. Now that Hu Zhensong is dead, everyone can really feel the nearness of death, because Hu Zhensong is the strongest one among them.

Qingyang and his disciples stopped pursuing the matter, and Hu Zhenhua whispered a few words to his brother, and Hu Zhenheng finally stopped making trouble, but he still looked at Qingyang and his disciples with dissatisfaction, and there might be a possibility of an explosion in the future.

However, Qingyang and his disciples were not afraid. The strength of the old Taoist Songhe has greatly increased, and there is a possibility of a fight even if it is one against three. Of course, they should keep a low profile, because there are immortal masters guarding outside. If they are too high-profile, it is easy to attract unnecessary trouble.

After pacifying Hu Zhenheng, Hu Zhentai, who was in the front, looked at the beehive in Qingyang's hand and said, "Is it because of this thing that attracted the swarm of bees?"

Hu Zhentai was not a very easy-going person before. Now, because of his elder brother's death, his face was even colder, so cold that it could almost freeze people into ice. Qingyang couldn't help but shiver and said, "Yes, we just picked it off."

"Show it to me!" Without waiting for Qingyang to hand it over, Hu Zhentai directly reached out and took the honeycomb in his hand.

He stared at Qingyang for a while, as if to judge whether Qingyang was lying, and then took the honeycomb and looked at it carefully. In fact, there was nothing to see. The current honeycomb only had ten cells sealed on it, six of which contained honey and four contained bee pupae.

As for the others, of course, they were all drunk by Qingyang and his apprentice, but the Taoist priest Songhe did something with it, so it can't be seen now.

Hu Zhentai scanned the honeycomb with the spirit-checking plate, and the plate emitted a dazzling red light, proving that this honeycomb was a rare good thing and very important to the immortal masters outside. Seeing this, Hu Zhentai's expression looked a little better. At least it proved that his elder brother's death was valuable.
