2. A hundred swords chop meat, a thousand swords cut bones, and ten thousand swords cone hearts
Du Ziqi and a group of residents, whether they were willing or not, all went down to the lobby, only to see dozens of people with sleeves embroidered with thunder sword ornaments, sitting or standing, with different emotions, a few with red eyes, a few crying, Xu Longxiang was supported to sit on a chair on the side of the lobby, staring at each guest with a gloomy expression.
Those who can be qualified to come in are all Yuanchen, each of them is very strong, and the one who screamed at the steward was one of Yuanchen, named Luo Dalong, who was under Xu Longxiang. But Xu Longxiang was particularly unhappy, because he knew that he had made a fatal mistake: he did not instruct the steward to drive away the guests, which should have been done in the first place. Now this mistake has been made up by Luo Dalong, which has greatly damaged his prestige, and he has a grudge against Luo Dalong in his heart. The loss of prestige is not enough, he doesn't know if any of these residents have heard something, and he can't openly leave them all, which will arouse the suspicion of Yuanchen, it can be said that once the truth is exposed, he will be torn to pieces by these Yuanchen in an instant, because he knows Lei Yan's status in the Lei Department very well: their loyalty to Lei Yan is tantamount to being in charge.
"Senior Brother Xu, let them hurry up, the internal affairs of the Sword Court don't need outsiders to chew their tongues!" Luo Dalong said next to Xu Longxiang.
This idiot!
Xu Longxiang secretly gritted his teeth, even though he had the intention to leave all these people behind, he really couldn't find an excuse not to be suspected, so he had to say: "Ask for your identity first, register and then let them go!"
The guests are not stupid, they know that something big has happened in the Sword Court, and it is really a fluke to be able to get out, they are angry when they get up, and they cooperate with the registration energetically, and when they arrived at Du Ziqi, as soon as she reported her identity, she was heard by Xu Longxiang, which immediately aroused his suspicion: "Du Ziqi, you are a disciple of the Lotus Seat, what are you doing in Jianzhou?"
Du Ziqi was shocked in her heart, secretly thinking that if she told the truth at this moment, a few people would believe it, but when she saw a vicious gaze sweeping over, she immediately extinguished her courage, so she had to pretend to be calm and sneered: "When will the Sword Court unify the immortal realm?
Every girl in the lotus constellation has a sense of arrogance wherever she goes, and those vicious eyes are a little more relaxed, and it is expected that the murderer cannot be the girl in front of her. Moreover, Du Ziqi is also a core disciple of the Lotus Seat, if there is any conflict, it is likely to lead to discord between the Dao Sects, and they dare not be too presumptuous.
Luo Dalong said: "Miss Du, I'm sorry, the post house and Dadu are temporarily closed, and outsiders are not allowed to come in, so it's convenient for you to go with the boat." ”
"Hmph, it's not uncommon to stay here. Du Ziqi twisted her head, turned her head and left. On the surface, he played his disdain more than the real thing, but in fact, he secretly prayed to Zhou Tianhuanyu Immortal that no accidents would happen.
However, accidents are often the last thing you want to see, Xu Longxiang suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
"What are you doing?" Du Ziqi looked fierce, but she was actually panicked to the extreme.
Xu Longxiang calmed down a lot at the moment, although Luo Dalong robbed him of the limelight and damaged his prestige, but the most important thing is whether the "truth" has been leaked. He tried to see her flaws from Du Ziqi's appearance, but he didn't have mind reading skills, and he didn't know Du Ziqi well, so he couldn't see her details, so he called the steward and asked, "Which room does she live in?"
The steward responded: "The Sword Picking Residence, next door to you." ”
Xu Longxiang's face changed, and he couldn't help but say: "Come on, take her down!" He has been operating in the Thunder Department for so many years
, the Yuanchen in the class, there are also those who will not question his order, and they took Du Ziqi immediately.
Du Ziqi said sharply: "Why do you take me, if the Lei Department causes a dispute over the Dao system, I see how you can afford it!"
"Senior Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Luo Dalong frowned and questioned.
"Don't say more, take it down, lock it up first!" Xu Longxiang had a gloomy face.
"The Sword Court wants to assassinate the same way! The Sword Court wants to assassinate the same way!" Du Ziqi screamed and was escorted to the underground warehouse.
Luo Dalong hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Xu, you are not in accordance with the rules in doing this, and you have privately detained the disciples of his sect, if the Lotus Seat Sect Master comes to the door to ask the master for sin, where will you put the face of the Sect Master?"
"I'll give you an explanation afterwards!" Xu Longxiang stood up with his crutches and shouted to Luo Dalong, "Now, isn't the most important thing to do is not to seek justice for Senior Brother Lei?"
"Yes......" Luo Dalong had nothing to say.
"Revenge! We want revenge!" shouted a few crying Yuanchen.
"Go, call the men from the boat to carry the corpses. ”
The crew members were called to carry the corpse again, close to 20,000 sword cultivators, holding black umbrellas and hugging the corpse, many Lei disciples couldn't help but let out a cry, just covered by the torrential rain. Xu Longxiang forcefully pushed away his subordinates who were holding an umbrella for him, let the rain soak into his wounds, let the injuries recur, and shouted bitterly: "Senior Brother Lei is dead, died in Yan Li's hands, I saw with my own eyes the whole process of his killing of Senior Brother Lei! If it weren't for the senior brothers and disciples who escorted me back with their lives, I wouldn't be able to stand here and tell you the truth now!" One of his eyes widened, and his voice was fierce, "Now, please tell me, in the Sword Court Decree, what punishment will be imposed for killing a fellow disciple?"
"A hundred swords chop the flesh, a thousand swords cut the bones, and ten thousand swords cone the heart!" the emotional sword cultivators let out a high-pitched cry. As early as when they arrived, Xu Longxiang had already passed on the truth through the mouths of various Yuanchen, so they didn't show surprise.
"Senior Brother Xu ordered, let's go down to the realm immediately, go and arrest Yan Li, that dog thief, and execute it, and pay tribute to Senior Brother Lei's spirit in the sky!"
Xu Longxiang pressed down with one hand and controlled the excited crowd: "Listen to me, the senior brother is in charge of the retreat, and the senior brother is acting as the deacon, what we should do now is to go and tell the senior brother the truth, and ask him to administer justice for Senior Brother Lei! Now follow me into the mountain, don't want the sword, we have to go up step by step, let the senior brother see our determination!"
"Enter the mountain!" Yuan Chen waved his hand, and the mighty corpse carrying team marched towards Tianzhu Mountain.
In inverse proportion to this sudden miserable rain is Zangjian Peak, which has not been together for a long time, and it can be said that it has been a very lively night in recent years.
It was raining heavily outside, crackling on the frost tiles, in the big dining room, Cao Zigu Cao Zijun father and son, Lu Fengxin Luo Fangshuo mother and son, as well as Huang Chengyan and Su Xiaorong, six people sat around a round table, there were many plates on the table, which were full of pigs, cows, sheep, deer and other meat rolls, vegetables and fruits, fungus lotus root were also cut into thin slices, there was a stove in the middle and a basin, and the red and spicy soup in the basin was exuding a rich aroma that made the mouth water.
Cao Zijun sniffed deeply, and said intoxicatedly: "Mmmm, there are star anise and garlic, as well as peppercorns and peppercorns, and there are some other things, I can't say, I didn't expect these things to merge into one furnace, and such a fragrance would occur, Xiaopang, what do you say this way of eating is called?"
Luo Fangshuo said proudly: "This is a way to eat that I researched from ancient books and had long before the birth of the cultivation system, called 'antique soup', and the folk customs of some places call it 'hot pot'." Usually, the seasonings are mixed together, and then the fresh ingredients are thrown in and cooked. But I came up with the ingenuity of mashing and blending these seasonings beforehand and adding special ingredients to make them taste more pleasant and really blend together. ”
"Oh!" everyone exclaimed in surprise and gave a thumbs up, which greatly satisfied Luo Fangshuo's vanity.
"Hot pot?" Lu Fengxin's index finger moved, swallowing his saliva, "The image is very vivid." Stinky boy, when the hell can you start eating?"
"Right away, right away!" Luo Fangshuo saw that the soup was already boiling, and immediately put down the beef roll and stirred it twice, because the beef was cut very thinly, so it was cooked in the soup, and he immediately sandwiched it into Lu Fengxin's bowl. Lu Fengxin couldn't help but eat it anymore, the entrance felt hot first, followed by various flavors such as numb, spicy, bitter, astringent, sweet, etc., although the beef was thin and tender but chewy, it was like a taste feast, almost swallowing his tongue.
Everyone looked at her expectantly, she said intoxicatedly: "It's so delicious!" Hearing this, who could bear it, they moved their chopsticks at the moment, and even the pair of people who were lying on Su Xiaorong's lap and pretending to sleep couldn't help but open their eyes;
Cao Zijun said: "I don't know what kind of breed Abu is, even the meat can be eaten." ”
"Who knew that the eggs picked up by Lu Damei on the side of the road could hatch, but at that time we all thought it was a python's egg, which was as big as a basin, and it was almost undercooked to eat, but I didn't expect to hatch a chick in the end, and now Abu finally lives up to the 'big egg' of the year. Cao Zigu gulped the slices of meat, chewing and talking.
Say you want to eat me in front of me, you kid! Abu protested in a hurry.
Huang Chengyan smiled: "It would be nice if Senior Brother Yan and Xiao Xiaofu were also there." ”
"Soon, he said that he would come back after arranging the affairs of Longling City, and when the time comes, our Hidden Sword Peak will be lively again, and the peak master will be in the spirit of the sky, he will definitely be very pleased!" Cao Zijun said, his eyes turned red.
While Su Xiaorong was destroying the meat rolls at a speed that was not inferior to others, he said coldly: "I will also be investigated when I come back." ”
"Elder Xiaorong doesn't talk about ......" Cao Zigu said half of the words, and was understated by Su Xiaorong, and the latter words choked back directly, and he choked unexpectedly, and couldn't help coughing violently, and hurriedly ran outside to scoop water and drink. As he was drinking, he saw the mighty corpse-carrying army outside the bamboo forest passing by silently and solemnly.
"Hey, isn't this from the Thunder Department, what is this?" He rolled his eyes, and the thief followed him slowly, but seeing the densest position of the crowd, although it was tightly covered by an umbrella, it was vaguely visible that it was a stretcher, and there were people lying on it, I don't know if it was dead or alive, his face changed slightly, and then he sneered, "It seems that someone was killed, the idiot of Tianjian Peak, he deserves it!" Although it didn't feel right, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.
He stepped up and was about to go back to continue the fight with food, when his heart suddenly jumped: No, with such a big battle, could it be that something happened to Senior Brother Lei?
Thinking of this, he no longer had the heart to eat and drink, and hurriedly chased after him.
