Chapter 290: Interception
Song Jing looked back, but saw four masked men dressed in black stopped in front of him at some point. One of them was armed with a crossbow. The arrow on the neck of the daring horse is due to him. The others were all holding long knives that were shining.
Song Jing chuckled in his heart, and goosebumps suddenly broke out on his body. It was the first time he had encountered such a scene when he was so big. When he met the robbers, Song Jing muttered in his heart, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. Looking at the machetes in the hands of those guys, he was also quite frightened like his master. But thinking that he had to face it no matter what, he had to try his best to control his panic and try to be as calm as possible.
So, Song Jing coughed dryly, clasped his fists, and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, what do you want the younger brother to serve, as long as it is within the scope of the younger brother's ability, the younger brother will never postpone it." ”
The masked man with the bow and crossbow snorted coldly and said gloomily: "We want your life, you can bring it." ”
Song Jing's body trembled violently, and cold sweat burst out of his forehead. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, we have no enemies in our past life and no grievances in this life, why do you suddenly want my life?" ”
The masked man with the crossbow said viciously, "Someone has paid us to intercept you here." ”
"Interception...... I...... We? For...... Why? Song Jing stammered and asked.
As soon as he heard that he was going to be killed, Song Jing was immediately frightened that the six gods had no master, his soul was scattered, and he couldn't speak.
As soon as the master on the side heard that he was going to be killed, he simply fainted in fright and collapsed to the ground.
"If you have these questions, you can go to the underworld of the Yin Dynasty and ask Lord Yama." The masked man with the crossbow said murderously. Wave at three masked men with knives.
The three of them immediately raised the knives in their hands, and rushed straight towards Song Jing like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep. The long knife reflected a dazzling cold light in the scorching sun.
Seeing the three murderers raising their knives and rushing towards him, Song Jing was completely frightened. Standing there stunned, like a piece of wood, greeted the butcher's knives of the three murderers.
Seeing that Song Jing was about to be killed by the masked man, he said that it was too late and that was fast, but he heard three screams, and then heard three screams. The screams pulled back Song Jing's soul that had flown nine days away. He looked closely, but saw three masked men with knives lying on the ground. Everyone was rolling around in pain with their hands around their necks. After a few rolls, he kicked his legs. Don't move.
Seeing that his three companions were all killed in an instant, the masked man with the crossbow was suddenly frightened, his legs trembled, and he staggered back.
Suddenly. Boom. But when I saw a flash of cold light, it was followed by a miserable scream. The masked man with the bow fell to the ground like a wooden carving, his hands on his neck, rolling around, and soon his legs were kicked, and there was no movement.
Song Jing trembled and walked over to the masked man with the knife and took a closer look, but saw that each of them had a thin wound on his neck. Song Jing took another look. A young man in white with a heroic and cold temperament. He was looking at him with a grin, followed by another teenager and a middle-aged man.
Song Jing's face flashed with joy, his hands clenched into fists, and he said loudly with great gratitude: "Thank you Lan...... Li Xiaolangjun's life-saving grace. ”
"Song County Order, we met again, I just happened to have it, no thanks." Li Tao smiled faintly.
The master got up from the ground, slowly looked around blankly, and then pinched himself a few times.
"I'm not dead! I'm not dead! I didn't die! Seeing that he was safe and sound, the master was ecstatic.
He jumped up, ran over, kicked the body of one of the masked men a few times, and cursed.
"Forget it, master. Come and thank our life-saving benefactor, Li Xiaolangjun. Song Jing said.
The master immediately ran to Li Tao and said a lot of grateful words.
When Li Tao listened to Song Jing's story, he frowned and asked, "Did Song County Order offend a powerful person to be intercepted and killed?" ”
"Yes, sir. If we offend someone, they will hire killers to intercept us? The master agreed.
Song Jing scratched his head: "I usually judge cases, and I don't know what powerful people I may have offended." ”
"That's it, I'll go with you to the void!" Li Tao pondered for a moment and said.
"Then thank you Li Xiaolangjun!" Song Jing couldn't ask for it.
Chongxu Guan was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, by Ge Hong's sight, next to the view there is Ge Hong's furnace for alchemy. Chong Xuguan incense in the past dynasties was prosperous, pilgrims are like clouds, and the current view is the head of Mingchen Dao.
Song Jing showed his identity to the Taoist, Li Tao and others followed Song Jing County as an entourage to arrive, and Mingchen Daoist warmly received several guests.
After greeting the guest and host, Song Jing went straight to the point and showed the purple elixir to Mingchen Dao Chang. Mingchen Dao was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Song Jing and the others into the secret room.
"My lord, where did you get this elixir?" Mingchen Dao asked in a sway, his face turned pale, and a cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Don't worry. There are very few people who know about this pill, and it will definitely not reach His Majesty. Song Jing comforted.
Daoist Song Jing breathed a sigh of relief lightly and felt a little relieved.
Then, Song Jing told Daoist Mingchen the origin of the elixir one by one.
"Dao Chief, as far as I know, this elixir engraved with the word 'Yu' was secretly refined by His Majesty today, and it was specially presented to His Majesty. His Majesty once decreed that this kind of elixir should be strictly forbidden to go to the people. Otherwise, he will be punished as a deceitful king. For this reason, His Majesty specially sent someone to supervise the whole process of refining the elixir. His Majesty knows exactly how many pills are produced every day in Guanli. Few people know about the elixir that Guiguan made for His Majesty, let alone the elixir that has been circulated among the people. Then how did this pill end up in the hands of an ordinary young man? Song Jing asked puzzled.
"This ......" Daoist Ming Chen was very nervous, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his hands.
Song Jing smiled knowingly: "Dao Chief, don't be nervous. I wasn't sent by His Majesty to investigate why this pill ended up in the people. The main purpose of this visit is to investigate the identities of the two young deceased so that we can solve the case. Now that the weather is getting hotter, their corpses are starting to stink. We want to solve the case as soon as possible so that they can be buried in peace. ”
Daoist Mingchen nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, too." After a moment of silence, Daoist Mingchen told Song Jing a secret hidden in his heart.
It turned out that a few months ago, Rong Wuren of Lantian County didn't know where he learned that Luofu Mountain Chong Xuguan was secretly refining pills for the current emperor, so he came up to the mountain and wanted to secretly buy a few of these pills with a lot of money. At first, Daoist Mingchen did not agree to sell. But he couldn't resist the temptation of Rong Wuren's heavy money, so he quietly sold him a few, and then created a fire in the alchemy room, and the illusion that the pill was burned covered up the past.
