Chapter 12: Killing in the Night
Returning to Yongdu, with a huge amount of money in hand, Zhang Daoyuan's whole person has become a little different.
In the restaurant, Zhang Daoyuan greeted Zong Xiu and Jiang Xiaomei.
"Eat, you're welcome, it's all public money anyway!"
Jiang Xiaomei is not polite, she can eat when she should eat, but Zong Xiu is a little cramped.
Since that night, Zong Xiu has seen Zhang Daoyuan's methods, and there has been a different meaning in his heart.
Zong Xiu has practiced swords since he was a child, and he has been successful as a teenager. But when I saw Huo Dongyu that night, I was so embarrassed. But Huo Dongyu, who was like that, was also defeated in this three hands and left with hatred.
"Third Brother Zhang, there is one thing I want to ask, what is the so-called open hanging?"
Flutter!
Spit out the wine in his mouth, Zhang Daoyuan looked at Zong Xiu, and the other party said innocently, which really hit his laugh.
"You listen to his nonsense." Jiang Xiaomei bit the duck leg and didn't look like a bite, "Although I don't read much, I've never heard the word hanging." ”
Flutter.
For some reason, Zhang Daoyuan listened to these two people seriously discuss this kind of thing, and in this different world, he could always poke his laughter.
"What are you laughing at, didn't you say it yourself?"
Jiang Xiaomei looked at Zhang Daoyuan holding his stomach and smiling, looking unhappy.
"The so-called hanging is a method that is not easy in this world and this world. It is also a supreme method that transcends any exercises, realms, and cultivation. No matter what kind of dilemma, it can be solved. ”
"Nonsense, there is no such method in this world."
Jiang Xiaomei looked incredulous. It is the peerless sword immortal, the sword is invincible, ignorant and immortal, and he does not dare to say that there is any method that is not easy for eternity.
"Do you know gossip?"
"Who doesn't know the monks in the world?"
"Then do you know the innate gossip and the acquired gossip?"
Jiang Xiaomei and Zong Xiu looked at each other, although they were both monks, they didn't know much about the mysteries of the Daomen, so they didn't feel that they shook their heads.
"Congenital numerology, acquired auspiciousness. However, in addition to this, there is another kind of hexagram, which is to open and hang. Even if the eighty-eight sixty-four hexagrams can be deduced infinitely, but mortals have numerology, even monks, even if they live forever, it is difficult to derive infinitely. In this method, people are hanging, hanging is people, and there is infinity beyond infinity, which is the supreme wonder. ”
Zhang Daoyuan is talking nonsense in a serious way, but some people really believe it!
Jiang Xiaomei and Zong Xiu opened their eyes wide, their faces were incredible, and they were confused.
"Then how can you cultivate?
Looking at Zhang Daoyuan's convincing appearance, Zong Xiu seemed to be a curious baby and asked.
"This method is hard to find, and it is not limited to the mundane and the noble. If the time comes, it will not cost the slightest, if not, it will be difficult to change. ”
"Interesting, the old man asked for many years, and it was the first time he had heard such a wonderful story."
Not far away, an old man with a scruffy beard, dressed in cloth, and a wooden fork on his head turned around and looked at Zhang Daoyuan.
"I take the liberty to ask for advice, I don't know where Xiaoyou got this method from?"
What's the matter with this old man, how did he insert the topic on his own, and it still seems so natural?
"It was a dark and windy night, when I practiced my skills day and night, and wanted to use my time and hard sweat to win the battle, and I could eat a meal of chicken, but I was locked by the other party, and ten miles away, my partner was killed with one blow. Since then, I have understood the importance of cheating. ”
Zhang Daoyuan recalled the painful experience a long time ago, but the people present listened thoughtfully.
The old man, in particular, muttered.
"Being able to kill others from ten miles away, such a method has at least trained Yuan Ying. But if it's some evil magic, then even the yin body can do it. This kind of thing, although it is difficult, is not special, and a lot of people can do it, and there seems to be nothing special about it. ”
"Then I'll tell you more about my painful experience in Arad when I was younger."
"Arad, where is this, why is the name so strange?"
"It's not important, it's ....... that counts"
As he spoke, Zhang Daoyuan pulled the old man to talk eloquently and said a lot of words.
The old man was fascinated by the story, that is, the story had been told, and he was still in deep thought, and fell into confusion, and when he woke up, there were not many people in the restaurant left.
And the kid who told him a lot of strange experiences is gone. Only the shopkeeper walked over with a smile on his face and said, "This master, your friend has left, he said, and you will settle the account of this table." ”
The old man smiled, "Interesting! ”
"This lord, you don't want to settle the bill!"
The little second looked at the old man in front of him shabbyly, and said some confused words in his mouth, thinking that he couldn't come up with the money, and was about to call someone to do it.
But when he saw this thin old man standing up, he had a might, and the menacing little two shrank inexplicably.
"What do you want to do?"
The old man took a gold bar from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"I'm happy today, and the rest will be your reward!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
When the little second saw that this person was generous, his face immediately changed, and he couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow to the old man.
……
The night is silent, and the lanes are empty.
After arranging Zong Xiu, Zhang Daoyuan and Jiang Xiaomei prepared to go home to visit Old Man Jiang.
Zhang Daoyuan was a little unhappy.
"You can just go back by yourself, why do you still pull me?"
"Less nonsense, we've all slept in the same bed, I asked you to pretend what's wrong with my husband? When I went back to see my father, I told him that you had changed your mind and were willing to intervene in the door, so that the old man would be happy. ”
"Then it doesn't have to be so late, right? Won't it work tomorrow morning? ”
"Less nonsense, the paper figure I left there will be scrapped tonight. Tomorrow morning, my father will come into the room and call me to eat, what should I do if he can't see me? ”
“……”
Are these father and daughter in this gang of cheating people?
Since he got the hundred taels of official ingots, Old Man Jiang has long lived in the original fishing shack, but has changed to a small house in the city.
Zhang Daoyuan and Jiang Xiaomei dodged the patrolling soldiers and tiptoed towards the Jiang house.
It's just that when he got closer, Zhang Daoyuan felt that something was wrong.
"It smells of blood."
When Jiang Xiaomei heard this, he immediately rushed in. But I saw Old Man Jiang lying in the living room, there were still a few side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, and the candle on the table had not been extinguished.
The fishermen all had the habit of drinking at night to kill the long night, and Old Man Jiang was obviously drinking at that time.
The two approached, but saw that Old Man Jiang's entire body had been drained, and there was no blood.
His death was exactly the same as that of the bandits in the forest.
Jiang Xiaomei was stunned, and she didn't know what to do?
At that moment, a cacophony rang out from outside.
"Catch the murderer, don't let them run away."
