Chapter 80: Passing on the throne
Zhang Xuanmeng watched him walk slowly, and suddenly, the person was gone, and the singing was still drifting. Zhang Xuanmeng stood for a long time, knowing that today he met a master outside the world, that is, the legendary immortal family of the world, and today he came to save himself. Suddenly, there is a sense of regret in my heart.
After a while, I slowly walked forward to find the way, thinking while walking, I want to find Kexin as soon as possible, after the Taishan Conference next year, I will take her back to Mount Emei, looking for this senior, and then not enter the world, with him, sucking wind and drinking dew, traveling in the five mountains and three mountains, unrestrained, how free.
When he came down the mountain, he bowed in the direction of Fuxian Temple and said, "Master Jinguang, the younger generation will no longer disturb your old man's house, so I will say goodbye." He took his horse from the mountain family and returned to the Central Plains along the same route.
After walking for a few days, he came to the small shop where he stayed that day, so he got off the horse and approached, and said: "Little second brother, I'm bothering again, serve me a few steamed buns and a plate of side dishes." ”
I didn't know that I didn't see the slaughtering little er come out to say hello, wait for a while, still didn't hear any movement, like an empty house, stretched out his hand to push the door, and the door opened. I saw a person standing behind the door, motionless. Zhang Xuanmeng felt strange in his heart, stretched out his hand to push, and the man fell down, it was the shopkeeper, his eyes were wide open, and he had been dead for a long time.
Zhang Xuanmeng was shocked and jumped into the store, but when he saw three people lying in the corner, he took a closer look and saw that it was the owner and the guy in the store, all of whom were dead. Zhang Xuanmeng's heart was pounding, he calmed down, and leaned over to carefully inspect the corpse of the shopkeeper. There were no sword scars on his body, and he reached out to press his chest, and his sternum was shattered, and it was actually hit by a master of the inner family.
He was greatly surprised, a few people in the shop were obviously ordinary local people, and they didn't know martial arts, so how could they provoke martial arts figures? Looking at the skin color on his body, there was not much change, and it was expected that he would not die for a long time. Zhang Xuanmeng didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he took a few steamed buns in his arms and got on the horse.
Zhang Xuanmeng walked slowly for more than half an hour, and it was almost evening, so he whipped his horse and accelerated the journey to find a place to stay. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a person lying in the pile of rubbles in front of him. It was very strange that when the horse passed, I saw this person lying on his back, with no face in sight, and his clothes were clean, but there were a few patches in the inconspicuous place under his armpit.
Zhang Xuanmeng shouted, "Hey, this gentleman, what's wrong with you?" but the man didn't agree. He dismounted, crouched down in front of the man, stretched out his hand and shook it, but did not move. Xin said: "Is it a dead man?" Stretching out his hand to move his face, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Ruan Gang Master, Ruan senior?"
This person's face is full of beards, his roots are like steel needles, and his power is abnormal, which is the leader of the beggar gang Ruan Xiuwu that he saw on Songshan Mountain when he was a teenager. Zhang Xuanmeng screamed twice, and when he saw that he shouldn't, he sniffed, but it seemed that he couldn't breathe. Leaning over his chest, he could hear his heart beating slightly for a long time, and he didn't know if he was dead or not.
Zhang Xuanmeng leaned him against his chest, stretched out his palm behind his back, and lost a soft true qi. It lasted for half an hour, and I saw the corners of his mouth move. Zhang Xuanmeng was overjoyed, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xuanmeng with a blank face.
Zhang Xuanmeng shook with his internal force, his eyes began to appear, and he said softly: "You, who are you?"
Zhang Xuanmeng said: "Senior Ruan, I am Zhang Xuanmeng back then, you hold on." ”
Ruan Xiuwu's eyes lit up and said: "You, you are Zhang, Zhang ......" Zhang Xuanmeng saw that he was struggling to speak, and nodded again and again.
Ruan Xiuwu said: "Okay, Zhang... Promise me quickly, quickly. ”
Zhang Xuanmeng said: "Senior, don't make a sound, I'll treat your injuries." ”
Ruan Xiuwu said with difficulty: "It's too late, it's too late, promise me, promise me quickly, pick up... Take over the beggars... Master. Bring it for me... Good beggar disciple, this, this..."Reaching out to his chest to touch something, his hand was unable to lift it.
When Zhang Xuanmeng heard this, he was shocked, and after thinking about it, he immediately Shi Ran, this Ruan senior, must be delirious and recognized the wrong person. Seeing that his hands were weak, he reached out to his chest, felt out a round thing, heavy and slippery, put it in his hand, shook his head and said: "Senior, I will be able to heal your injuries, you recognize the wrong person, how can I be worthy of being the leader of the beggar gang?" ”
Ruan Xiuwu hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't admit my mistake, you, you must... Promise me, answer... Answer: "Holding a round thing and handing it to Zhang Xuanmeng, he only raised his hand, but he had a convulsion, his eyes widened, and he died.
Zhang Xuanmeng was startled, and the true qi of the rush was sent into his body. After another pillar of incense, I didn't see him open his eyes again, but I felt that his body was gradually cooling, and I knew that he was really dead this time.
Zhang Xuanmeng held the round thing in his hand, stood for a long time, lowered his head and carefully examined Ruan Xiuwu's face, there was a faint layer of black gas, thinking that he had been poisoned. Otherwise, with his martial arts, who in the rivers and lakes could kill him? Peeling off his clothes, there were no sword injuries all over his body, but a few ribs on his right rib were broken, and there were hidden palm marks. However, what made Zhang Xuanmeng strange was that judging from the signs of his palm, it had been at least half a day, and he was able to die at this time.
Zhang Xuanmeng searched his whole body again, but could not find any other clues to the wound, so he had to give up. He found a depression, dug a pit with stones, and waited for a long time, and saw that his complexion had already changed greatly, and it was impossible for him to live any longer, so he buried him. Then he looked at the terrain and made a mark so that he could find it with the beggars in the future.
When the work was over, it was already dark. He also looked carefully at the thing given by the Ruan gang leader, black and swarthy, a piece of iron and non-iron, with several large seals engraved on it, vigorous and powerful, but he didn't recognize it, knowing that this thing was extraordinary, he put it in his arms, found a place to lie down, but said in his heart: "Is it possible for the people who plotted against the Ruan gang leader to go and turn back?" I slept here for a night, so that I could find out a message and explain it to the beggar gang. "I don't know that in one night, not a single passerby passed by, let alone a plotter. By noon, he still had no results, so he had to kowtow three times in front of the grave and get on his horse and go.
After walking less than a mile, he suddenly remembered a few Central Plains heroes he had met in the roadside shop that day, and remembered that they were looking for an old man in his sixties. The old man in his sixties is called Huazi, isn't this Ruan gang leader the same old man in his sixties, and his heart is bright. I also remembered the tragic death of several people in the small shop yesterday, the time of death was about the same as the time when the Ruan gang leader was poisoned, maybe the Ruan gang leader was poisoned in that small shop, and then hunted down and killed here, and several people in the store were killed and killed. Thinking of this, turn the horse's head and return the way you came.
Soon he came to the shop, only to find that it had already been burned down and was in ruins. The bodies of those men had been burned into a blur, and it was impossible to find clues from them.
Zhang Xuanmeng looked at the ruins and was stunned, the group must not be at ease, they went and returned, burned down the small shop, destroyed everything, he came late. sighed, hit the horse and went back, heading straight to the Central Plains.
