Chapter 100: Hidden Ghosts
On the third day after the new leader of the beggar gang took office, Chen Hanyu came to the general altar of the beggar gang alone.
"Helper, Master Chen is here. Following the report of a beggar disciple, Chen Hanyu walked into the inner hall and saw Gu Yuxing and Zhen Yingying already waiting for him inside.
"It's been a long time! Lord Chen~" As soon as Zhen Yingying saw Chen Hanyu, a cute smile appeared on her face.
"It's been a long time, it's only been three days!" Chen Hanyu pretended to be surprised.
"Cut, no conscience......" Zhen Yingying glanced at Chen Hanyu and turned her head to the side.
Seeing her pretending to be angry, Chen Hanyu laughed a few times, walked to a chair beside Gu Yuxing and sat down: "Gu Gang Master, do you have something to do with me?"
"It's none of your business, let's go, let's go......" Zhen Yingying was still playing petty over there.
Seeing that the two of them kept arguing as soon as they met, Gu Yuxing smiled a little embarrassedly, and lightly "forehead ......", Chen Hanyu and Zhen Yingying heard it, so they stopped arguing. But they all look elsewhere, and they don't get angry, they just look willful, and they want to see what you can do to me.
"Brother Hanyu. It was Gu Yuying who broke the silence first, "Sister Yingying, they said they wanted to take me out to play!"
"Then let's go play......" Chen Hanyu said casually at first, and suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute...... They're not going to be invited to an appointment these two days......"
"It's going to an appointment!" Zhen Yingying clasped her hands around her chest, looked up and said lightly.
Chen Hanyu frowned slightly: "Yingying, what are you going to do, why are you still taking her with you?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Zhen Yingying glanced at Chen Hanyu.
Seeing her like this, Chen Hanyu sighed helplessly, "Okay, I was wrong just now, can I apologize to you?"
"Hmph, I won't tell you anyway......" Zhen Yingying said with a pout.
"Brother Hanyu is fine," Gu Yuxing said, "The sisters said that they just went to play, and there would be no danger." ”
After hearing Gu Yuxing's words, Chen Hanyu was a little relieved: "Then go! They will take care of you." ”
"But......" Gu Yuxing wanted to speak and stopped.
"Don't worry," Chen Hanyu said with a smile, "During your absence, I will help you sit in the beggar gang, how about it, do you want to talk about this?"
Chen Hanyu knew what Gu Yuxing was worried about, after all, she was the new leader of the beggar gang, and she was not familiar with many things. Now, if you run out so casually, what will you do with all the trivial things in the gang?
And with Chen Hanyu in charge for her, then she is much more relieved. After all, she was not too familiar with Geng Zheng, and she didn't dare to trouble Fang Chengjun and other elders of the older generation. Chen Hanyu, as a patrol envoy of the Six Gates, is also very methodical in dealing with some things, and it is most appropriate to hand it over to him.
Seeing that Chen Hanyu agreed, Gu Yuxing suddenly showed a bright smile on her face. I was about to say something to thank him when I heard a commotion outside......
"Helper!" a disciple rushed in from the outside, "Helper is not good! Elder Geng went out and was attacked by a mysterious person, and he was seriously injured and fainted!"
"What?" Before Gu Yuying could react, Chen Hanyu and Zhen Yingying had already stood up at the same time, "Do you see that person's appearance clearly?"
"No...... He's moving too fast......" The disciple was panting. Suddenly, his eyes rolled white, his mouth foamed, and the whole person fell to the ground straight and straight.
Chen Hanyu's eyes froze, and his body flashed in front of the disciple. I saw him squatting down, stretched out his hand and probed in front of the disciple's nose, frowned, and muttered: "The meridians are all broken, and the five internal organs are damaged...... But why didn't he die on the spot?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhen Yingying also walked quickly to the other side of the disciple, her face full of surprise. When that disciple came in just now, with her top-grade cultivation, she didn't see any signs of injury on the other party's body at all. Who knew that when she came over to take a closer look, she found that this disciple had been seriously injured and died. Even in her opinion, this disciple died on the spot, that is a reasonable explanation.
However, the reality made both of them feel unreasonable. This disciple, who should have been seriously injured and died, not only survived for a long time. He didn't show a trace of injury, just like a normal person.
"Whew!"
Chen Hanyu, who was originally squatting on the ground, suddenly moved in his heart, and his body ejected without warning, dodging towards the empty space behind him. And almost at the same moment, the beggar disciple who had been defined by Chen Hanyu and them as "dead" suddenly opened his eyes and roared, and his body that was on the ground suddenly flipped over, and one claw was squatting in front of Chen Hanyu. The fierce and violent energy directly drew five claw marks on the bluestone-paved pavement, and it was three points into the ground, which made Chen Hanyu's heart tremble.
Zhen Yingying's eyes flashed with coldness, and when the beggar gang disciple sneaked up on Chen Hanyu and missed the blow, she pulled out her snow-white sword and slashed it in the air. Her Zhen Yingying's current strength has long been different from what it used to be, and the white light flashed, and before the beggar disciple could make a move, his head had already rolled off his neck.
"Hehe~" Seeing Zhen Yingying looking at herself with concern, Chen Hanyu laughed a few times as if laughing at himself, "Today's face is a big shame......"
Zhen Yingying raised her eyebrows and ignored Chen Hanyu's ridiculous words. Turning his head to look at the headless corpse again, he heard her mutter, "That's weird...... He was obviously dead just now?"
"I suspect he didn't make that move consciously. Chen Hanyu also walked over at this time, "How could a disciple of a second-rate realm suddenly have such a strong strength." ”
The disciple sneaked up on Chen Hanyu's claw just now, and Chen Hanyu personally felt the terrifying and strange aura in that claw. Even with Chen Hanyu's current strength, which is comparable to the top grade, he didn't dare to resist him at that moment, so he quickly retreated, and avoided the opponent's attack with the help of Ling Bo's skillful step.
"I also think it's very incomprehensible...... Zhen Yingying nodded in agreement, "After he hit that claw just now, the whole person seemed to be frozen in place, this is not the situation that a master should have." ”
The moment Zhen Yingying made a move, although the speed was extremely fast, ordinary people didn't have time to react. But as long as a person who has practiced martial arts, after striking a move, even if the martial arts are not good, at least there will be a tendency to move on to the next move.
The moment when the sword came out was extremely short, but with Zhen Yingying's keen insight now, she still discovered the abnormality of that disciple, which made her even more puzzled in her heart.
"Brother Hanyu, Sister Yingying. Gu Yuyun suddenly shouted to the two of them.
The two looked back at Xiao Jing and saw that her face was a little pale, and they understood that she was frightened by the scene just now. Zhen Yingying quickly walked back to Gu Yuying's side, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, he is dead now." ”
At this time, several beggar disciples also rushed in from outside in a panic. Outside, they heard the sound of fighting inside, and immediately came in to check on the situation. When they saw the corpses of the beggar disciples on the ground, several people were stunned, and then looked up at Chen Hanyu and Zhen Yingying.
"You guys should resist this corpse first!" Chen Hanyu didn't pay attention to what those disciples were thinking in their hearts, and just ordered lightly.
A few people, Gu Yuxing, saw that she nodded slightly, so they agreed, and immediately resisted the corpse of the beggar disciple. It's not that they suspect Chen Hanyu and Zhen Yingying, it's just that now Gu Yuxing is their helper, and they only obey the command of the helper.
"Hanyu, can you figure out what this is all about?" Zhen Yingying looked at Chen Hanyu and asked.
Chen Hanyu thought for a while: "I think...... This should be something that can control people's actions...... It could be a drug, or something in him. ”
"Then do you want to search his body?" asked Gu Yuxing.
"There shouldn't be any useful items to be found...... Chen Hanyu shook his head, "Judging from the situation just now, that person should be the victim." Besides, even we are not aware of the scene of his resurrection from the dead, and it is naturally impossible to get useful information from him. ”
"Then what should we do?" Zhen Yingying frowned.
Chen Hanyu thought for a while: "I think we can start with Geng Zheng first." After all, he had seen the mysterious man, and probably fought with him, so he might be able to find some clues. ”
"Then let's go and see Elder Ganggeng together!" Gu Yuxing said and was about to walk out.
However, Zhen Yingying quickly stopped her, shook her head and persuaded her: "Xiao Jing, the situation is unknown now, if you want to venture out, it may be dangerous...... Leave it to us!"
"No, I'm going!" Gu Yuxing insisted: "I am the leader of the beggar gang, and now that something like this has happened in the gang, I must find out." ”
Seeing that Gu Yuying was so persistent, Zhen Yingying originally wanted to persuade again, but Chen Hanyu shook his head and said to Zhen Yingying: "In this case, let's take her with you...... Anyway, sooner or later, she will have to be alone in the rivers and lakes, so it's better to come out first to experience the experience. ”
Chen Hanyu said so, and Zhen Yingying naturally no longer objected. With Gu Yujing. The three of them soon came to Geng Zheng's residence together.
"Gang leader, Lord Chen, Miss Zhen," guarding Geng Zheng's residence was a seven-bag disciple of the Beggar Gang, who immediately bowed to them when he saw Chen Hanyu and them coming.
Gu Yuxing raised his hand gesturefully, and after the disciple stood up, he asked with a concerned expression, "How is Elder Geng now?"
"Half an hour ago, they were still unconscious, and the two elders were helpless, so they have sent someone out to seek a doctor, but they have just ordered their disciples to guard here. The seven-bag disciple said.
Chen Hanyu nodded and asked, "Can you let us go in and see him?"
"Okay, please come with me. The disciple did not hesitate at all, immediately pushed open the wooden door of Geng Zheng's room, and then stepped into Geng Zheng's room with Chen Hanyu and the others.
"Elder Geng, disciple ......" The disciple was about to report Chen Hanyu's arrival, when his pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed: "Elder......"
At the same time, Chen Hanyu and the three of them had already seen the situation in the room. I saw that the bed was empty, where was the shadow of Geng Zheng!
"Elder!" the disciple couldn't believe what was in front of him, "Impossible...... That's impossible...... Elder, he was still ...... just now."
The situation suddenly changed, and an indescribable feeling began to come to the hearts of Chen Hanyu and others. Zhen Yingying opened her mouth and asked, "You just said that Geng Zheng was unconscious half an hour ago, so in this half hour, has anyone come in?"
"......No," the disciple shook his head, "For half an hour, the disciple stayed at the door of Elder Geng's room every inch, and during this period, he didn't notice anyone coming at all, nor did he see Elder Geng go out. ”
Zhen Yingying frowned: "This is strange, if no one enters or leaves, why would the people who were originally in the room suddenly disappear?"
The beggar disciple also frowned and pondered for a moment: "Is there some secret passage in the room, Elder Geng has gone out of the secret passage?"
Gu Yujing said strangely: "Is there a secret passage in this room?"
The beggar disciple shook his head: "I don't know, it's just my conjecture. ”
"I think someone should have come in and kidnapped him," Chen Hanyu looked around the room, "If it's him and leaves quietly, at least he should bring his weapons with him." As he spoke, Chen Hanyu pointed to the corner of the wall, where Geng Zheng's black imitation dog repellent stick was still standing.
"However, you said just now that no one has been in or out of this room for half an hour, and I am afraid that this statement is not accurate. ”
The disciple's face changed suddenly, as if he was anxious to explain himself. But Chen Hanyu raised his hand to stop him, and then said: "I don't suspect that you are deceiving us, but to say that if there is such a master who wants to rob Geng Zheng quietly and without being discovered by the guards, this is not impossible." ”
Zhen Yingying shook her head: "You can infiltrate the beggar gang silently and rob the nine bags of elders of the beggar gang, and you can escape with your whole body." This is not something that anyone can do, at least in the peerless realm. ”
After hearing the words of the two, the beggar disciple suddenly became anxious: "The master of the peerless realm......! Then no one in our beggar gang can stop them!"
"You don't have to be so nervous. Zhen Yingying smiled at the disciple, "This is just a conjecture on our part, and this may not be the case. ”
Seeing that Gu Yuying's face was also solemn, Zhen Yingying persuaded her: "Little Ying, don't worry too much, I think Elder Geng shouldn't be able to provoke such a powerful master......"
"But...... If it's really a peerless realm master......" Gu Yuxing still looked very worried.
"If there is a peerless realm that is a master, we are not afraid. Zhen Yingying continued to comfort, "Don't forget, we are all disciples of famous families, and there are many powerful old-timers behind us, and they won't interfere." ”
"However, there is another possibility, and this is more likely......" Chen Hanyu suddenly said.
Seeing that several people were looking at him, Chen Hanyu hesitated slightly, and then said slowly, "That is, there is an inner ghost hidden in the beggar gang." ”
"Impossible!" Chen Hanyu's words were quickly interrupted by the disciple, "How can our gang have internal ghosts." ”
"I can only say that it is possible ......" Chen Hanyu turned his head to look at the seven-bag disciple and repeated again: "It is possible that you beggar helped his own people have problems." ”
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible......" the disciple said firmly.
"Don't get excited...... Zhen Yingying said to the disciple, and then looked at Chen Hanyu: "Why do you say that this is more likely?"
"Just like you said just now, Geng Zheng, a master of the highest grade, how could he provoke a master of the peerless realm?" Chen Hanyu said, "Just imagine, what kind of person does not need to have a strong strength to be able to blend into the beggar gang without being suspected, and sneak into the elder's room without being discovered...... What kind of people will be familiar with the secret layout of various places in the gang, including posts, patrols, formations, secret passages, and even who is in and where, and who is not in ...... place," he said and looked at the disciple of the beggar gang, "Do you think that such a person will have nothing to do with your beggar gang?"
A series of inferences made the beggar disciple unable to refute it, only to see his blank gaze, and muttered, "Impossible...... No way?? How can there be traitors in our gang......"
"Do you have any suspicions?" Zhen Yingying ignored the disciple, but looked at Chen Hanyu and asked.
It's just that what disappointed her was that Chen Hanyu shook her head and said helplessly: "No, we are not familiar with the beggar gang, and the other party is hiding in the shadows, how can it be so simple to find his traces." ”
"Could it be Wen Youbei?" Zhen Yingying suddenly asked again.
"It's not im......possible," Chen Hanyu frowned, "But he was abolished from his whole body martial arts at that time, and he was expelled from the beggar gang in front of all the disciples of the main altar, it stands to reason that if he wants to sneak into the main altar again, it will not be a simple matter." ”
"Is it possible that he sent other masters to sneak into the main altar?" Gu Yuyun suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's very likely. Zhen Yingying also agreed.
Chen Hanyu nodded: "Anyway, the enemy is dark and I am clear, we have to find clues first, we can't rely on pure conjecture, and don't startle the snake." ”
"Yes, we can't rush it, take our time, we can always find clues. Zhen Yingying nodded, and comforted Gu Yuying: "Little Netting, don't worry." We'll be sure to help you find out. ”
"Well, Xiao Jing, thank you Sister Yingying and Brother Hanyu. Gu Yuxing immediately thanked the two.
"Lord Chen, Miss Zhen, the helper is young, please leave this matter to the two of you. At this time, the disciple finally relented, and the thought that there was a traitor in the gang, the disciple couldn't help but be angry. I saw that his face was gloomy, his fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his arms were bursting out, obviously angry to the extreme.
"You can rest assured. Chen Hanyu patted the disciple's shoulder, "With us here, we will definitely make that ghost have nowhere to hide." ”
