Chapter Twenty-Six: Hidden Murder
Is there really a ghost in this world? The theory of ghosts and gods has always existed only in the conjectures of mortals, such as under the Yellow Spring, there are bull heads and horse faces, and ten halls of Yama; Above the nine heavens, there is a light dance flying in the sky, the emperor of the four directions. However, among the tens of millions of people in the world, almost no one can be met, mortals are old, sick and die, many sufferings, the vast majority of people, even if they are as noble as princes and nobles, rich and rich, are convinced of this and dare not fight with it, the world seeks eternal life and joy, and is afraid of death and humiliation, even if there are those who are as wise as the sea, although they know the flow of ghosts and gods, they are ethereal, and because they are afraid of death, they are blinded by themselves, or believe in reincarnation, or trust the afterlife, knowing that they cannot be violated, and finally leave a trace of fantasy.
-----Excerpt from "Ten Thousand Secretaries Demon Scroll: Mountains and Sea Monsters"
At this moment, as the smoke gradually dissipated, a creature about three feet tall appeared in front of everyone, with a green face and fangs, eyes like copper bells, and a bloody mouth, looking like the legendary evil ghost Yasha, for a while, Chang'an Menxi, more than 70,000 people, all of them were shocked and inexplicable, and fled one after another, Ye Jianan snorted coldly, he grew up in the Xuanqing Sect since he was a child, and he was exposed to it, although his own strength was limited, but his vision was superior. Categorically unable to summon such a fierce thing, and then looking at the evil ghost Yaksha, his eyes were dim, and he only stood on the spot in a daze, without moving a minute, his heart was clear, and he grabbed Niu Li, who was about to get up and escape, and said in a low voice, "Big Niu, this is an illusion, it won't move." ”
Unexpectedly, Niu Li was not lightly frightened, and hugged Ye Jianan with his backhand, "Little brother, I'll carry you away, hurry up, this evil ghost is about to chase after you, the evil ghost is going to eat people, let's run away!" Ye Jianan was anxious, shook Niu Li's body vigorously in his hand, and said angrily, "The eldest husband was born in the world, and what he did was worthy of heaven and earth, and he was afraid of what cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help but snort secretly, and said in his heart, "With Niu Li's straightforward personality, I told him what to do." Ye Jianan couldn't get up for a while, so he grabbed the knife in Niu Li's hand casually, threw it at the evil ghost, and said in a loud voice, "Niu Li, you can see clearly, this yaksha is just an illusion, he won't move, go and kill the man in black!" ”
"Ding!" With a thud, the knife passed through Yaksha's body and landed on the ground, and the demon remained standing still, not moving for a minute. Ye Jianan knew in his heart that he couldn't let the man in black escape at this moment, so he slapped Niu Li, "Quick!" Hurry up and kill the man in black, if he escapes today, I am afraid that he will not be at peace in the future. Ye Jianan understood in his heart that looking at Zhang Yanlong's appearance, it was obvious that he was under some kind of powerful drug prohibition, and Zhang Yanlong was just a mortal, without any cultivation true yuan on his body, and the man in black was willing to spend so much effort on a mortal, which showed that the plan was very big, and before Zhang Yanlong died, the life essence was rapidly lost, and in just a few breaths, it was like seventy or eighty years had passed. A hundred years of life have passed by in a snap of a finger, and for Zhang Yanlong, it really passed by with a snap of his fingers. And this kind of drug prohibition, obviously relying on one person's financial, material, and human resources, is obviously unbearable, if it is really as the man in black said, it belongs to the Netherworld Sect, then I am afraid that in the entire cultivation world, it is a conspiracy, and Anfeng City is the beginning of this bloody storm. Sure enough, as Ye Jianan expected, after a short time, the creature that looked like the evil ghost Yaksha in the Yellow Spring Hell slowly became illusory and disappeared.
After a while, Niu Li came back with a knife in frustration, "Little brother, the man in black is gone." I searched the entire Chang'an Gate, but I couldn't see the shadow of that guy. Ye Jianan was stunned, and secretly regretted it, if he didn't spare the last cent of Qingxuezhu just now, he would definitely kill the man in black on the spot, but at this moment, he regretted it again, it was too late, and he could only wish. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded on this chaotic battlefield, "Listen, the people of the Qinglong Gang, you have been surrounded, Jiaolong Shui Yizhong and Black Dragon Leng Thunder have all been killed by me, and Qinglong Hall has also been captured by my Tiger Gang, at this moment, put down your weapons, and those who descend will not be killed!" "And then" bang! Bang! Two voices came, and the two heads were vigorously thrown out and landed beside Ye Jianan, Ye Jianan turned his head to look, but it was not Shui Yizhong and Leng Thunder.
Ye Jianan's heart tightened, and he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight! These words resurfaced in his heart with Wang Hu's voice, but Niu Li on the side became happy, and walked over and gritted his teeth and pulled up Ye Jianan, who was paralyzed, "Little brother, big brother, they are finally here, they are finally here." After fighting against Zhang Yanlong and the man in black repeatedly, even if the nerves were as big as Niu Li, he couldn't help but feel tired, but he heard Ye Jianan whisper, "Niu Li, you carry me, secretly walk through the crowd, hurry, don't let the gang leader find us." At this moment, Ye Jianan was extremely awkward in his heart, and he didn't want to see Wang Hu at this moment. Niu Li was puzzled, "Little brother, you defeated Zhang Yanlong, this big brother has also surrounded the Qinglong Gang, Zhang Yanlong, Shui Yizhong, and Leng Jinglei are all dead, and the Qinglong Gang has no leader, at this time, if we are in harmony with the eldest brother, then ......"
"Let's go!" Ye Jianan interrupted Niu Li's words and urged him to leave quickly. Niu Li said hesitantly, "Little brother, can you ...... But ......"
"Da Niu, do you recognize me as a little brother, if you recognize me as a little brother, then listen to me, hurry up, help the master, and I will explain to him when I turn back." Ye Jianan was helpless, and he could only pinch Niu Li's weakness.
"Alas, okay, little brother, then I will carry you out, and you may help me tell my eldest brother then." Niu Li Ne said, carried Ye Jianan on his back, and walked towards the place where there were many people. But I heard Wang Hu's voice faintly coming from the distance, "Brother Ye, Niu Dali, where are you ......" The voice loomed. Ye Jianan's heart was disturbed for a while, plus he and Zhang Yanlong had also fought for five or six hours, and then they were fighting against the man in black, and their physical strength and mental strength were all overdrawn to the extreme, and at this moment he was groggy and fell asleep on Niu Li's back.
After a drowsy day, it finally rained in the night, the night rain was one after another, the candle shadows in the house were swaying, the soft bed was high, Ye Jianan opened his eyes, and a white Luo tent came into view, this was the Tianxing Xiaolou where Wang Hu dialed him to live, he moved slightly, couldn't help but snort coldly, his whole body was in severe pain, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help shouting, "Water!" Water! Come! As soon as the words came out, I realized that my voice was so weak. With one hand, holding a cup of tea, handed it over, Ye Jianan picked it up and drank it, raised his head and drank it and handed it back casually, the man took the teacup and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, do you want some tea?" ”
Ye Jianan was startled, and looked up, the man in front of him was burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it was Wang Hu! Ye Jianan subconsciously moved back, Wang Hu saw it in his eyes, and was silent, the smile on his face didn't seem to change, as if seeing that Ye Jianan didn't answer, Wang Hu said softly, "Brother Ye, do you want some water?" Ye Jianan looked at the smiling face in front of him, as if there was an indescribable awkwardness, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "How dare you have a labor helper." ”
Wang Hu smiled, "My own brother, what are you polite to talk about." He got up and poured another glass of water for Ye Jianan, and at the same time pulled a chair and sat in front of Ye Jianan's window, "Today, my Tiger Gang, attacked the Qinglong Hall, killed the Jiaolong Shui Yizhong and the Black Dragon Leng Thunder, at that time, there were countless descenders, and then in Chang'an Gate, the Qinglong Gang was broken, and Zhang Yanlong was killed, but unfortunately, the red dragon Zhang Lie, the head of the three envoys of the Qinglong, was nowhere to be seen, otherwise, hummed ......"Obviously, today's battle, the Qinglong Gang was destroyed, and since then in Anfeng City, the Tiger Gang is the dominant family, and Wang Hu is also extremely happy," Ten years of wind and rain, Until today, my Tigers are considered to be in the forefront. To tell you the truth, I wanted to deal with the Qinglong Gang a long time ago, the emperor took turns to do it, and Zhang Yanlong stayed for too long! ”
"Brother Ye, this time the Tiger Gang can defeat the Blue Dragon Gang, you have made great contributions! You have been so badly injured for my Tigers, I ...... I will definitely ask the best famous doctor in Anfeng City to come over. Wang Hu said very sincerely, and even his eyes were a little red. If Ye Jianan had heard Wang Hu say this before, he must have been full of gratitude, and today, under a scribbled paper ball by Bai Xingda, when he fought against Zhang Yanlong alone for six hours, Niu Li told Ye Jianan that Wang Hu broke through the Qinglong Hall and entered the inner room in less than two hours to prevent anyone from leaving the Qinglong Hall. Everywhere in the softest place, there were bursts of heartache and resentment.
Ye Jianan was silent, not saying a word, he listened to Wang Hu's expression flying and talking about today's achievements, and felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight! His heart tightened, and he looked up at Wang Hu, "Helper, are you all going well today?" ”
Wang Hu was stunned, "Everything goes well!" ”
"But anyone is hurt?"
"Only a few brothers were wounded."
"What about the casualties?" The more Ye Jianan spoke, the faster he spoke.
"Three hundred and seven dead, five thousand and eight seriously injured, and no more than fifteen thousand minor injuries." I have to say that Wang Hu, as the helper, knew everything about this kind of casualty report at the first time, and when he heard Ye Jianan ask, he replied without thinking about it at the first time.
"Didn't kill Ye Jianan today?" Ye Jianan didn't give Wang Hu a moment to think, and asked hurriedly.
"It's a pity that he escaped ......" As soon as Wang Hu said it, he suddenly came to his senses, but he couldn't hold it anymore, and at this moment, the atmosphere between the two became sharply cold. Deathly silence, deathly repression, permeated the room.
After a long time, Wang Hu spoke, "How do you know? Ye Jianan smiled, a wisp of bitterness looming at the corner of his mouth, "I'm not really sure, I'm just lying to you, how did I expect ......" Ye Jianan said calmly. Then he added, "It's just that I don't understand. Wang Hu was expressionless, and said lightly, "Now that you know, I won't hide it from you now, what do you not understand, just ask, Nian is in your independent fight against Zhang Yanlong, so that I can defeat and incorporate Qinglong so smoothly, this great credit, I will remember, if you don't understand anything, as long as I can say it, I will tell you." Don't worry, as long as I haven't left this room, I won't do anything to you."
Ye Jianan smiled in his heart, Wang Hu didn't even explain and simply admitted, at this moment it was already time for the two sides to tear their faces, he suddenly remembered that he was asking Niu Li to carry it back, and since he woke up until now, he has not seen Niu Li's figure. Mo was not ......, he hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that he didn't find Niu Li, he couldn't help asking, "What about the big cow?" ”
Wang Hu was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Jianan to ask at this time, it turned out to be a completely unrelated matter, and it was only a moment, he immediately reflected and shook his head slightly, "He's not here, I'll let him go back to the Tiger Gang." ”
Ye Jianan nodded, and after a while, he said, "Thank you!" Wang Hu lowered his eyes, "I don't want him to know." Then he then asked, "Do you know Zhang Yanlong?" Wang Hu shook his head again and laughed at himself, "I'm really confused, how can you know." ”
Wang Hu sneered, and a deep voice sounded in this room, "Zhang Yanlong, before today, was still the first person in Anfeng City, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, in ten years, he has not been defeated, but today, the only defeat ended in death. Ten years ago, when I founded the Tiger Gang, at that time, Zhang Yanlong was still a small leader in the Bamboo Flower Gang, but it only took him half a year to become the leader of the Bamboo Flower Gang, and it took two years to turn a ninth-rate gang into a super gang, and annexed the largest gang in the south of the city at that time, the Earthquake Gang, and since then occupied the position of the first gang in the south of Anfeng City for eight years, since then, I know that in this Anfeng City, only Zhang Yanlong is my opponent. In the following eight years, I sent countless secret agents to investigate Zhang Yanlong, and in the past eight years, I have been carefully watching Zhang Yanlong's every move, and the more later, the more suspicious I became, even after Zhang Yanlong's death, this question has always been in my heart, lingering. ”
Ye Jianan's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Hu, and Wang Hu was quiet in his memories, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking hard, only to hear him continue, "Zhang Yanlong is a person, the force is amazing, there is no doubt about it, but if this is the leader of a gang, it seems to be missing something, in the final analysis, the Qinglong Gang has been standing for ten years, such a super gang, the leader of the gang should be superior in strategy, employment, and scheming, but for the force, it is secondary, and I look at Zhang Yanlong, scheming, It's just a middle-class asset, and to put it bluntly, it's a grade category with my subordinate hall master. And the Blue Dragon Gang has been fighting for ten years, and almost none of them can be accepted before the war. Zhang Yanlong seems to have always just started a war, then absorbed, then went to war, and then absorbed. Wang Hu's low voice continued to sound, "If you want to expand the Blue Dragon Gang, wouldn't it be better to surrender at the beginning, I thought about it again and again, and I still felt that there was a lot of fog in front of me." ”
"The people of Anfeng are still martial, otherwise Zhang Yanlong's scheming is not middle-class, but he can still lead the Qinglong Gang, and in ten years, he dominates the south of the city, this is his martial arts, with the strength of Zhang Yanlong Anfeng's first person, it is really difficult to have a second person in the Qinglong Gang to fight." Wang Hu said faintly. In an instant, Ye Jianan had an awe-inspiring epiphany and sneered, "You're just worried that I will become the second Zhang Yanlong." ”
"Not bad!" Wang Hu said, "At the beginning, I also wondered if you were an undercover agent sent by Zhang Yanlong, but later I learned that it was not. ”
Ye Jianan Qi said, "How do you know that I'm not?" ”
Wang Hu got up and laughed, "With the force led by Ye, I can be able to defeat Zhang Yanlong without falling behind, how can I be a mere undercover agent, and how can I subdue the entire Axe Gang for me." ”
Ye Jianan was silent, it is true that any undercover agent would not co-opt the entire Axe Gang for Wang Hu and increase the strength of the Tiger Gang in vain. But I heard Wang Hu continue, "After you came to my Tiger Gang, you gradually revealed that you are extraordinary, that time, Niu Li and the five of them are together, and they are still not your opponents alone, after that time, not to mention other people, it is a few of them, when they mention you, they are all appreciative in their hearts, until the battle of Chang'anmen, you are alone, facing tens of thousands of people in this axe gang, tsk." He turned around and poured himself a glass of water, "Single-handed, standing alone, among thousands of troops, his face does not change, before the sword forest and sword rain, Ni Qunxiong, a good Ye commander." After that, he raised his head, drank all the water in the cup, and threw the cup away, "It's a pity that I'm drinking tea at the moment, not wine, otherwise I would have to drink three hundred cups." ”
Ye Jianan sneered, "I'm afraid what the gang leader is thinking at this moment is to take my Ye Jianan's head to the bar." Wang Hu said, "Exactly, that's what I think in my heart." Ye Jianan closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Gang leader, since I have the ability to defeat Zhang Yanlong without falling behind, looking at the Tiger Gang, can anyone stop me from killing you?" Wang Hu smiled coldly, "Commander Ye is right, Commander Ye's ability to defeat Zhang Yanlong for six hours is undefeated, and everyone in the Tiger Gang, there is indeed no one who can stop Commander Ye, but because Commander Ye is desperately trying to win Zhang Yanlong, he is too strong, but at this moment, it is difficult to get up, let alone want to kill me." ”
Ye Jianan was shocked, his fists tightened, but he was soft and did not have any strength, he said angrily, "I was born and died for you, defeated Zhang Yanlong, so you can incorporate the Qinglong Gang, you actually treat me like this?" ”
Wang Hu frowned and said, "As I said just now, the Chang'anmen Axe Gang fought with the strength of one person, in front of the tens of thousands of brothers of the Axe Gang, and tore Yan Tianxing alive, so as not to hurt anyone, and then incorporated the entire Axe Gang." After this battle, the strength of the Tiger Gang has increased greatly, but at the same time, there are more than 50,000 people in the Tiger Gang, all of whom respect Commander Ye as a god and as a celestial, and even among some new disciples, they only know Commander Ye of the Tiger Gang, but they don't know my Wang Hu. Haven't Commander Ye heard of the three dragons and six tigers in the south and the north of Ye? ”
