There is wine in the rivers and lakes Chapter 32 The Wind Rises
"Supernatural powers?"
Looking at the body of the long-haired young man on the ground who was divided into three, Chen Qingniu thought thoughtfully, not touching the cultivators did not prove that he knew nothing, now it seems that the beast spirit power given to him by the copper tattoo is obviously higher than the spells cast by these monks on a certain level, although I don't know the difference, but obviously, this is a good thing.
"Are you alright?"
When Chen Qingniu killed Wen Buren, Jin Yue'er had already walked over, and at the same time, the wounds on her body were healing rapidly, and even the fatal knife wound on her back had already condensed the scar, which made Jin Yue'er very surprised.
Chen Qingniu shook his head, he was also surprised to see that Jin Yue'er could move freely so quickly, so he asked, "Your injury?"
Even if they had already poured out their hearts, the two were still not at the point where they would be honest with each other immediately, Jin Yue'er did not turn around to show her jade back, but just raised one arm and said with a smile: "Look." ”
Chen Qingniu looked at it, and saw that Jin Yue'er's snow-white arm, which was originally covered with wounds, had no injuries at all at this moment, except for some coagulated bloodstains, and not even a trace of scar had fallen.
Jin Yue'er said again: "It's not all, I just touched it, and the knife wound on the back has also healed and formed a scar, presumably it won't take long for the scar to fall." ”
"Tell me honestly, Ah Niu, did you do anything to me while I was unconscious, for example, you applied some kind of healing ointment that only you cultivators can use all over my body, or took advantage of my ......" But the more she spoke, the more Jin Yue'er's little face turned crimson, if she was really seen naked by Chen Qingniu, although she didn't care, but now Chen Qingniu is still only a half-grown teenager after all, not to mention, if they really come together in the future, if they mention it...... Thinking of this, her cheeks naturally turned redder.
Chen Qingniu naturally didn't know that Jin Yue'er had already thought so much in just a moment, he was hesitating to tell the woman in front of him about the appearance of Chen Ergou, who claimed to be an old man, and he didn't even want his life to protect him, after hesitating, he still didn't say it after all, because Chen Ergou's appearance involved his identity as a traverser, and Chen Ergou even said that his identity must not be exposed. Although it was this that gave Chen Qingniu a feeling of being watched, in fact, he didn't need Chen Ergou to tell him to understand that it was powerful, because this itself was his biggest secret.
So, Chen Qingniu, who knew that he owed Chen Ergou a favor again, had to make up a lie and said: "Miss Yue'er, I don't know that Ning Yuancao still has such a miraculous effect. When I woke up just now, I saw that Miss Jin was already unconscious, and in a hurry, I fed Miss Jin a condensing grass and used the vitality in my body to refine it for Miss Jin, this effect is really magical. ”
"It's not an unusual thing that can make ordinary martial artists break through the innate realm have such a magical effect, but ......" Jin Yue'er suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly with bad intentions, "Chen Qingniu, if you want to add the word girl to the end, the old lady will immediately turn around and leave, believe it or not!"
Chen Qingniu was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Yue'er, let's go." ”
Jin Yue'er opened her arms.
Chen Qingniu looked at it suspiciously.
Jin Yue'er smiled mischievously: "I'm tired, carry me!"
~~~~~~
Five miles east of the inn, is the location of the county government.
It was late at night, the lights in the county government were bright, and the people who sent them to catch them did not fall asleep, waiting in the hall, which was the meaning of Pang Zhi County.
It's just that as early as dusk, the hall was already empty, not to mention Pang Zhi County, that is, Master Sun, who had already disappeared.
And at this time, in the alley outside the county office, two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, are walking towards this side, if these poor people see it, they must be surprised, at such a time, this Pang Zhixian and Master Sun have to go out, could it be that they went to the Baihualou to look for flowers and ask Liu?
Of course, they didn't see it, because these two people were county officials who entered through the wall, so it was even more impossible for them to know that the two county magistrates who had never been inseparable in their eyes were actually not ordinary people, but the rumored cultivators.
After a while, the short and thin master walked into the lobby and said: "There is a gang fight outside the Flying Fish Inn tonight, with countless casualties, you wait to clean it up as soon as possible, be sure to clean up the scene before dawn, as for the matter of accountability, the adults will decide later." ”
"Yes!"
The next moment, the messengers who had been waiting all night were ordered to leave, and began their best and favorite job, as coolies.
Although it is a coolie, but no one complains about half a sentence, after all, in Anqing County, a small place with many gangs in the rivers and lakes, gang fights are very common, and if it is a fight, it will inevitably kill people, so someone has to clean up the corpse, since it is to clean up the corpse, it means a windfall, as the so-called people have no windfall and are not rich, and those people in the rivers and lakes in addition to windfall, maybe they can also find out one or two martial arts cheats, which is the biggest reason for the joy of this group of poor people.
However, it was only very soon that this group of poor people couldn't laugh, and even, tonight's trip was listed by them as the most terrifying thing they had experienced in their lives, but this is all for later.
In the empty lobby, after the group of poor people left, a tall fat man with a wide body and a fat body walked in, this person smiled and squinted, with a kind look, but everyone in Anqing County knew that this Pang Zhi County was famous for eating people and not spitting out bones.
After Pang Zhixian sat down, he lightly buckled the case with his hand, thought about it in a blink of an eye, and did not make a sound.
Master Sun just stood aside and didn't make a sound.
Tonight's events, he and Pang Zhixian both saw it clearly, from this month's protection of the young man's knife and did not know life and death, to the young man rushing out of the inn to condense the beast shadow to kill those Jianghu people, and then to the deputy envoy Wen was killed.
After a long time, Pang Zhixian spoke up, but he said: "Third child, what do you think of tonight's incident?"
"Big brother, this matter is not simple. Master Sun was actually thinking about it, and when he heard Pang Zhixian's question, he replied in the same way.
If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be surprised by the Pang Zhixian who performs the post of the magistrate of Anqing County and his identity as a master, where this seems to be an official language, it is clearly the Taoist language on the rivers and lakes.
Master Sun continued: "Tonight's incident, there are three doubts, one of them is that the method used by the young man, at first glance, it looks like some kind of spell cast by refining the soul of a beast, but it is very different from my ghost soul technique, the beast soul he condensed, as if there is still a spiritual wisdom before death, it is very strange, but the surname Wen is only a cultivation of the essence realm, and it is normal to be defeated." ”
"The second is the Jin Yue'er of the Feiyan Sword Village, when she fell from the roof of the inn, she was obviously already a mortal person, when she was in the young man's arms, I secretly let a wisp of ghost approach, and determined that Jin Yue'er was dead, but you also saw it, big brother, not only did she come back to life, but even those injuries were healing rapidly, and the young man didn't do anything. ”
"Third, I don't know if you feel it, big brother, for a moment, I felt as if my soul was imprisoned, although it was very short, but I believe there would be no mistake. ”
"Imprisoning the soul?" Pang Zhixian frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, although he didn't answer, but suddenly smiled, "Third child, it seems that the young man named Chen Qingniu is not as simple as we thought." ”
Master Sun also nodded, as a cultivator of the Yuanhai Realm, and a ghost of cultivation, his perception of his soul was already much stronger than that of an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator. He was sure that the third point he had just said was definitely not an illusion.
"So what do we go next?"
"Naturally, the plan can't be changed. Pang Zhixian put away his smile and narrowed his eyes again, "No matter how strange the kid surnamed Chen is, then Liu Zhixian must die in the boundary of Anqing County, if he really investigates and finds out that you and I took the position of Zhixian at the beginning, I am afraid it won't be long before it will not be a third-grade Yinxuanwei like Liu Zhixian, but a second-grade Jindan monk, when the time comes, you and I ......."
Master Sun naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and his expression was solemn, he suddenly looked in a certain direction of the mansion, remembered something, and hurriedly said: "That is the case, big brother, when will we start?" If you wait any longer, then the person surnamed Liu will break through with the help of those hundred boys and girls and become a fake Dan monk in the Imperial Wind Realm, it will not be difficult for you and me to join forces to kill him, but if he runs away without a fight, I am afraid that it will ......."
"Don't worry!" Pang Zhixian waved his hand, also looked in that direction, and smiled coldly, "Third brother, since we are guarding against him, do you really think that the surnamed Liu will not guard us if he secretly investigates that matter?" Hehe, if he dares to blatantly retreat in our county government, he must have set up many formations, and it is quite unwise for us to do it at this time." However, you can rest assured that since the hundred boys and girls have passed through our hands, he will not dare to use them to improve the realm, according to my secret let the colleagues in Cangbei Mansion inquire, the method he cultivates is the same as yours to specialize in ghosts, he wants to use the souls of those boys and girls to condense a magic weapon, a hundred ghost flags, but don't forget, let's ......" Between the words, Pang Zhixian suddenly took out an object out of thin air, which was actually an awl emitting a faint golden light.
Master Sun couldn't recognize this thing, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Second brother's magic weapon golden light cone back then. But it was both a wry smile and a downfall, at the beginning, the five brothers had grand plans and wanted to break out of the world, but now, only he and his eldest brother are alive in the world. I think that when the second brother didn't die in a calamity, he didn't suffer less from this thing, all things are born and restrain each other, and the same is true of the magic weapons cultivated by cultivators.
"Four days later, it was the time of the competition, although on the surface it was a competition of gangs from all over the world, but in fact, it was secretly drawing out qualified people from a place and attracting him to work for the dynasty. In the meantime, the person surnamed Liu will definitely remove the formation and break through the customs to preside over the overall situation, you and I naturally can't be exposed in the open, but you don't have to forget, tonight's young man, his father and brother were killed, and his brother and sister were arrested, why did he enter the city now?"
This information was personally investigated by Master Sun after Liu Youcai's death, how he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate: "However, judging from the heaven and earth aura he triggered when he broke through in the inn, it was only the Qi Channel, and the Qi Realm wanted to kill the Yuanhai Realm monk, even if the spell realized by that young man was quite weird, it was ......"
Pang Zhixian squinted his eyes again and said, "So, this is where you and I are useful." ”
"How?"
"Hehe, it's time to secretly help that young man! But before that, we have to ......."
~~~~~~
The next day, a news from the Yamen shocked the entire Anqing County - last night there was a fight in the rivers and lakes outside the Flying Fish Inn, and happened to be bumped into by the deputy envoy of Yin Xuanwei Wen who passed by, the two fought, both lost, the gangs in the rivers and lakes dared to disobey the court, within two days, the gangs in Anqing County must give an explanation, otherwise they will be disqualified from the competition, and the tax will be doubled within three years.
"Nonsense, this is clearly nonsense, what does it have to do with my Hundred Knife Gate? What's more, what happened last night ......"
In the meeting hall of Feiyan Sword Village, the owner of the village, Lu Changfeng, sat on the main seat, and the rest of the people sitting on both sides were the leaders of a group of gangs that had taken refuge in Feiyan Sword Village over the years.
"That surnamed Pang dares to talk so nonsense, could it be that he wants to offend all the forces in our Anqing rivers and lakes, that is Yin Xuanwei......"
"That's not all, Brother Xiong, don't you see that he wants to offend even Yin Xuanwei. ”
"Isn't that Lord Yinxuanwei Liu in his county office, how can he let that surnamed Pang be like this, what happened last night was clearly done by the blood wolf Chen Qingniu, he actually ......"
"This matter ......" Seeing that the big and small gang leaders were already making trouble, Lu Changfeng suddenly raised his hand, "This matter, let's discuss it later." Lu asked you to come here today to discuss the competition between the gangs in three days, what do you think? ”
“......”
Feiyan Sword Village, in a guest room.
Chen Qingniu was meditating and cultivating, but the door was suddenly pushed open, who could disturb Chen Qingniu smile like this, except for Jin Yue'er.
Jin Yue'er had a piece of paper in her hand, her face was full of laughter, and when she walked in front of Chen Qingniu, she asked even more eccentricly: "Ah Niu, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and the county magistrate Pang Youwen." ”
Chen Qingniu didn't know why, in order to avoid trouble, the inn naturally couldn't live anymore, he wanted to send Jin Yue'er back to the village and then leave the city to retreat for a few days, but Jin Yue'er was forced to stay in the village, since he sent Jin Yue'er back last night, he has been meditating to stabilize the realm.
After a long time, when Chen Qingniu read the news on the paper he received from Jin Yue'er, he was also puzzled and wondered: "Then Pang Zhixian would be so blatant to help me hide what happened last night?"
What happened last night is not a secret, whether it is some people with a heart or a person without a heart, they have actually seen Chen Qingniu condense the ghost of the giant wolf to commit murder. The county government is the center of exercising the power of the imperial court in one place, and it is naturally superior to some scattered gangs in terms of intelligence, and it is not surprising that it is known and quickly issued a notice to Chen Qingniu, but what surprises him is that Pang Zhixian can so blatantly open his eyes and say nonsense, and hide his murder last night under the table, which is a little incomprehensible.
What's more, in Chen Qingniu's view, Li Gui and other people in the township who went to report to the official were all alive to lie down and go back, or even went back without returning, it was clear that the county government was deliberately wiping the ass for that Yinxuanwei Liu Zhixian, and even Liu Youcai had already revealed it before he died, but that Pang Zhixian came to such a place at this juncture, which made him a little foggy.
"You don't know?" Jin Yue'er couldn't understand the expression on Chen Qingniu's face, and she was also puzzled.
"Naturally, I don't know, I don't know that Pang Zhi County, not to mention, the incident in the township, many people left their hometowns to report to the official, all of them have gone and never returned, Liu Youcai said before he died, it was not he who did it, it was obviously the surname Pang who took care of the aftermath for him. ”
Jin Yue'er said suspiciously: "Isn't it that surnamed Pang who knows your power last night, and he is comfortable, and wants to curry favor with you secretly?"
Chen Qingniu shook his head and said: "No, not to mention that Liu Zhixian is a Yuanhai Realm monk, even if he is not, he is also one of the three major Xuanwei in the dynasty, Yin Xuanwei, and he is from Fucheng, and the surname Pang is only a county magistrate, no matter what, he doesn't dare to offend the other party, let alone do this kind of thing that a clear-eyed person will not believe at a glance." Unless ......"
"Unless, the person surnamed Pang and that Liu Zhixian are at odds with each other, and they know what you want to do, and they want to tear their faces with the surname Liu and help you instead?"
Chen Qingniu still shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, he won't do it!"
"Why not?"
"This matter is too obvious, last night's incident, secretly peeping at not only the people of his yamen, but also some people in the rivers and lakes who have evil intentions and dare not act, such a big turmoil, some ordinary people naturally see it, even if he presses, he will not use this way to offend both the gangs on the rivers and lakes and Liu Zhixian, unless it is ......" Chen Qingniu paused, showing a sneer, "Unless, his ambition is even greater than we think, he not only wants to suppress these gangs in the rivers and lakes, he also wants Liu Zhixian to die!"
"Kill Yin Xuanwei, how dare he?" Jin Yue'er exclaimed.
Chen Qingniu said: "He doesn't dare, I dare!"
"So he did this kind of thing to cover his ears and steal the bell, just to cast a peach at you, so that you don't embarrass him when you kill Liu Zhixian?
Chen Qingniu said with a smile: "This is the reason why he did this, he wants to tell me, let me adjust my state with peace of mind in the past few days, the things on the rivers and lakes, he, the county master, will help me do it, and when I go to find that Liu Zhixian desperately, it is also the time when he makes a move." ”
"Why do you guess this?"
Chen Qingniu stood up, walked in front of Jin Yue'er, and said in a low voice: "Last night, he was also the one who peeped in secret, and his master, they were not ordinary people, but monks. It was impossible for them to guess that I didn't break through on my own, but took and refined more than ten Condensing Yuan Grasses, and the real effect of the essence in those Condensing Yuan Grasses was not just to improve the vitality in my body, but to allow me to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, and last night, the moment I broke through, the wind and grass within a radius of one mile were all in my eyes. ”
"You ......" Jin Yue'er was a little incredulous.
Chen Qingniu patted Jin Yue'er on the shoulder, and said softly: "Yue'er, I know what you did last night, believe me, I will carry it for you in the future! ”
