Chapter 18 A roar when the road is uneven It doesn't matter if you are a dragon or a tiger
Liu Mingluan looked at the two skeletons on the ground like a fool, with shocking pieces of minced flesh on them, which had already begun to rot and emit a pungent smell on this hot summer day.
"Vomit"
Liu Mingluan retched for a while, covered his mouth and ran out, lying under the pear tree in front of the door and spitting out a few mouthfuls of yellow water.
Liu Zhenqing and the four elders walked out of the room together, their faces full of shock and fear. They are all old guys over half a hundred years old, and they have never seen such a ruthless way of killing, how much hatred does this need?
"Mingluan, come to the council chamber." Liu Zhenqing ignored that her daughter was still vomiting, and walked towards the council hall with a hello, followed by the four elders with weak legs.
The body is not afraid of shadows. Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, most of those who are afraid have done bad things.
In the conference hall, everyone sat down separately, but no one spoke first to break the dead silence.
"This is definitely for our Liu family." Liu Zhenqing's chubby bun face, with worry, said a word of nonsense.
At this time, Liu Zhenqing was completely confused, and his words had not gone through his brain, everyone had been killed, and he was tortured and killed by the most cruel means, not for the Liu family, but for whom?
"Patriarch, who do you say the killer will be?" Great Elder Liu Zhenyan shook his head and pondered, and then said, "We haven't had a grudge against anyone. ”
Another nonsense!
The Liu family got rid of the Luo family in Youzhou City, which family has not had a feud? Yesterday, he also hired the Danzhou Huo family to throw a stray fire bomb at the Ji family, burning several disciples of the Ji family.
The four elders usually have the most eyes in their hearts, and their heads turn the fastest, and they muttered, "The killer left a message, and he left a name at the end, that nightmare is definitely a fake name." ”
It seems that today's events have frightened everyone in the Liu family, and what they say is nonsense, who doesn't know that Nightmare is a fake name?
The Third Elder, who usually didn't speak much, spoke at this time: "You don't understand the meaning of that nightmare? It is the killer who tells us that he will be a nightmare that we will never forget. ”
No one refuted the Third Elder, he continued: "I usually remind you to do your sect's business well, don't bully other families, it's not that you don't repay you for doing too many bad things, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, and now the retribution is coming, right?" You will hire the Huo family in Danzhou, won't they hire the big forces in other counties? ”
The third elder is the most conscientious one among all the people in the Liu family, and he is usually not used to seeing the patriarch and the three elders bullying other families in every way, so he rarely speaks, and the meaning of his words at this time is the most obvious, this must be someone who bought murder.
Liu Mingluan, who had been silent and had not yet recovered from the fright, frowned at this time, and a name suddenly popped up in his heart - Zong Wusheng.
It's not right to think about it, Zong Wusheng is simply a waste who can't cultivate, he can't have this ability. Moreover, it is impossible for him to know that Zong Tianchi was killed by the Liu family, so there is no suspicion of murder.
Everyone thought about it and thought about the past, but there was no actual result, and finally decided that the Liu family had been cautious recently, strengthened night patrols, and must not let such incidents happen again.
Zong Wusheng's goal of abusing and killing Liu Long and Liu Ba in the middle of the night this time was achieved, and for the first time in countless years, the Liu family felt a sense of fear, for fear that the next person to be tortured and killed would be himself.
However, this is just the beginning.
……
Zong Wusheng sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform of the Immortal Residence, and was about to run the "Painting Heaven Technique" cultivation, when the secret door opened, and Ji Wushuang's pretty appearance came into view. After entering the Faxiang realm, she was very happy, jumped in and put down a shoulder basket in her hand.
"The delicious food made by the master of the house, I brought it to you."
Zong Wusheng got up from the cultivation platform, looked at Ji Wushuang with a smile, and suddenly felt that this girl was also very beautiful, but that kind of temperament was different from Luo Yubing.
Luo Yubing is bewitching, while Ji Wushuang is more like the girl next door, with the appearance of a small jasper.
"It smells so good!" Zong Wusheng rubbed his hands, came to the side of the basket, opened the lid on it, and a whole saltwater duck appeared in front of him.
Zong Wusheng was not polite, grabbed the whole duck, tore off a duck leg and handed it to Ji Wushuang. Ji Wushuang took the duck leg with a smile and tore the duck meat in a small bite. Zong Wusheng directly hugged the saltwater duck and gnawed wildly, without any appearance at all.
Looking at Zong Wusheng, who didn't have anything to eat, Ji Wushuang smiled happily.
Don't complain that Zong Wusheng looks ugly, the Zong family has always been in poor condition, he has never eaten anything good since he crossed over from China. If he didn't know the aroma of meat, it would be fine, but he had tasted all kinds of delicacies all day long when he was in China. Those delicious foods, swirling in my head all day long, drooling at every turn.
"I'm going to go back first, and the Qin family and the Chu family will go to our house in a while, and my father will let me go back to greet people."
"You go back first."
Ji Wushuang finished eating the duck legs, turned to leave, and when he was about to go out, he turned around and said, "My father said that you need anything, just say it." ”
"Got it, you can go back."
The secret door was closed, and Zong Wusheng patted his bulging belly, planning to go to the market and listen to the news by the way.
He had already discovered that on the hanger in Wenxian Juli, there was a reed black gauze hat, and the hanging black gauze just covered his face.
Putting on the hat, Zong Wusheng left the Immortal Residence.
……
Youzhou City Center Market.
This is the best market in Youzhou City, where the people of Youzhou come here to purchase daily necessities and food.
Early in the morning, the market was already crowded, shouting and bargaining. Zong Wusheng squeezed in the crowd and followed the pedestrians in front of him towards the center of the market. Suddenly, a crying sound in front of him attracted Zong Wusheng's attention.
Following the crowd to the source of the sound, Zong Wusheng looked inside.
"If you don't pay the booth fee, clean up the stall and get out." A big man in a black suit, followed by four or five men in the same costume, shouted at the two who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy was an old man and a young man, the old man looked seventy or eighty years old, hunched over, his face was full of wrinkles sharpened by the years, and his granddaughter cried and cried, supporting his grandfather who was kneeling on the ground, trying to pull him away.
"Boss Zhao, the Luo family has never charged booth fees before, and I haven't opened it early in the morning, so I really don't have the money to pay."
"If you don't have the money, get out." Boss Zhao kicked the old man's bamboo basket down, and there were potatoes scattered inside.
The old man and his granddaughter saw the artichoke scattered all over the ground, knelt on the ground and pulled it in front of them, trying to put it back in the bamboo basket.
Boss Zhao raised his foot, crushed a few artichokes under his feet, and shouted: "Pay the money or get out, you choose for yourself." ”
"Let's go, let's go......" The old man finally couldn't stand the bullying of Boss Zhao, and was ready to put away the artichoke and go home.
"This artichoke is well planted, bring it back to me, it's their booth in the morning." Boss Zhao didn't intend to let them go so easily, and ordered the entourage behind him to bring the artichoke back.
Such a forcible seizure aroused the anger of the surrounding hawkers. Everyone doesn't understand that Luo Zhongyuan, the head of the Luo family, is a generation of heroes, and he can't say the same. He said before that he wouldn't charge the people a tael of silver, so why is he coming out to collect booth fees now?
Someone was indignant and cried out, "What is the difference between you and robbers by doing this?" Does the patriarch of Luo Zhongyuan know that you are doing this? ”
Boss Zhao followed the voice and turned his head to look, and when he saw the person who couldn't open his eyes, he laughed out loud.
That person is the noodle man Zhang who makes a living by kneading noodles in the bazaar, he is very famous in Youzhou, thanks to the lifelike noodles he pinched, many children like his pinched noodles, and they are arguing for noodles in front of adults all day long.
In this way, many adults also know about the face of the person.
The noodle man Zhang is an orphan, thanks to this noodle kneading skill, he has supported him to live for 20 years, and he is usually cautious and does not dare to make enemies with others.
But today, he really couldn't stand Boss Zhao bullying Old Man Liu and his granddaughter like this, so he stood up bravely.
The arm can never break the thigh, and the face man has no power to tie the chicken, how can he be good? Boss Zhao came to the face of the noodle man Zhang without smiling, and punched the face of the angry noodle man Zhang, the noodle man Zhang was hit in the cheek by a punch, and his body fell backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and with a few broken teeth.
Zong Wusheng looked at Boss Zhao, and his teeth clenched. This person is Zhao Long, Luo Zhengbei's lackey, and Zong Wusheng is too familiar with him.
Clenching his fists tightly, Zong Wusheng was about to make a move, and an angry shout came into his ears: "Zhao Long, you bully the people, what kind of hero are you?!" ”
Zong Wusheng let go of his clenched fist and looked at the source of the voice, a big man as strong as a bear pushed aside the crowd and glared at Zhao Long.
The big man has a square face, a beard, eyebrows like a broom, and the roots are pierced to both sides of the eyebrow arch, and his fierce and vicious appearance makes people shudder.
Zong Wusheng's face showed a look of surprise, and he looked at the big man's body, the arms exposed to the outside of the animal skin vest, and the muscles were like hills stacked with peaks. The big man's arms hung down, his fists clenched, and the green tendons on his arms bulged.
Seeing this person coming, the people who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak on the side clapped their hands and applauded, and they all retreated one after another, making room for a vacant space in the center.
"Chu Xiong, do you dare to take care of the affairs of our Luo family?" Zhao Long was not afraid of people at all, and shouted wildly.
"You Luo family can bully people casually? Others are afraid of your Luo family, but I, Chu Xiong, am not afraid! ”
Zhao Long's face suddenly became hideous and terrifying, and he glared at Chu Xiong viciously and said, "It doesn't matter if you are nosy, you are not afraid of harming the Chu family?" ”
"The patriarch of Luojialuo Central Plains has always understood righteousness, how could he condone you to spread wild in the bazaar? If Patriarch Luo knew that you were doing this, it would be you, Zhao Long, who should be punished. A girl emerged from the crowd and took over Zhao Long's words and said.
The girl has short hair that is out of place with her surroundings, wears a lilac jumpsuit, and wears a braided belt of the same color around her waist. In Zong Wusheng's eyes, this girl's dress was somewhat similar to the popular clothes in Huaxia.
"Chu Ge? How dare you follow your brother to mess around? ”
"Hmph" Chu Ge snorted contemptuously and coldly, disdainful of Zhao Long at all, and said to Chu Xiong beside him: "Brother, call me, I'll take care of today's affairs." ”
"Okay."
Chu Xiong waited for these words, and his huge body suddenly stepped out, and the soles of his fan-like feet stepped on the ground, feeling that the earth was shaking.
Zhao Long didn't expect that Chu Xiong would really dare to make a move against their Luo family, and with a greeting, several entourages were gearing up, wanting to give Chu Xiong a little color.
"Bulging pectoral muscles are not necessarily martial, and mediocre pectoral muscles are not necessarily impossible." Facing Chu Xiong's Ling Yan punch, Zhao Long greeted him and shouted: "Pour it for me!" ”
"Bang"
The fists intersected, and a figure flew out upside down, spilling blood on the ground.
