Chapter 111: The Real Murderer
Incense burned in one of the upper rooms of the inn, and the fragrance wafted through the corners of the room.
Ye Zhiqiu sat on the bed, meditating and cultivating, letting the two internal forces of one ice and one fire swirl in the dantian. As the internal force operated, his face frequently switched between red and blue, and wisps of cold and heat floated above his head. There were only two people in the house, him and his apprentice, and no outsiders were there.
Kong Yunjie stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, taking in the twilight outside. His face was not very good, he didn't have the spring breeze smile when facing everyone, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.
"Master, with this rabble recruited today, it is far from enough to catch Qin Xing. It seems that we still have to find a way to continue to make things bigger, only in this way can we make Qinxing the target of public criticism and besieged by the people in the rivers and lakes. Kong Yunjie said.
The voice drifted into Ye Zhiqiu's ears alone, even if a third person was present, he would never hear half a word.
"Life and death, Ye Withered Ye Rong, the tragic death of a girl is indeed not a big deal. If you want to make things bigger, you have to continue to kill people and commit crimes, and every time you leave bloody words on the wall, so as to arouse the public anger of the entire Jianghu. Only in this way can we force those martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes to take action and catch Qin Xing hidden in the shadows. Ye Zhiqiu closed his eyes and said lightly. He also used the method of sound transmission to send the sound into the ears of his apprentices.
"This Qin Xing has come and gone without a trace, it's really hard to deal with, if it is replaced by an ordinary martial artist, how can it take so much effort."
"Qinxing's incident this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for you. When you find a woman to practice in the future, remember to be careful. Don't get caught in the wrong hands again. If the matter of you and me practicing is exposed. It's going to be ruined. There is no place to stand. Ye Zhiqiu warned in a deep voice.
"I'll be careful in the future, and I will never let people bump into me practicing with girls again." Kong Yunjie hurriedly assured, and secretly gritted his teeth, and had endless killing intent towards Qin Xing.
A few days ago, the duo of them went to Luoshu Villa, easily obtained the qualification token, and then changed their route and went straight to Sword Casting Villa, intending to participate in the fight. Halfway through. They passed through a small town and rested in the town for a day. In the evening, in order to practice "seizing the double * cultivation", Kong Yunjie found a woman from a good family in the town, ruined the woman, seized the woman's essence, and killed the woman.
After Kong Yunjie's good deeds were done, he was going to go back to rest, but a mocking voice suddenly came from outside the window: "The dignified young chivalrous man turned out to be this kind of sanctimonious hypocrite, not only ruining the women of a good family. It is really despicable to use evil skills to harm people's lives. Even a flower thief like me is much better than you. At least I don't kill people indiscriminately and take people's lives. ”
Kong Yunjie was so frightened by this sound that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly pulled out two swords, one ice and one fire, and jumped out of the window, but the courtyard was empty, and there was no one, only a shadow shook in the darkness in the distance. Kong Yunjie saw that the other party's speed was extremely fast, and it was difficult to catch up with his own ability, so he hurriedly went back and told the master about it.
After Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he was so angry that he slapped his apprentice, hated his apprentice for being disobedient, and ran out to practice without permission. But anger is anger, and the matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Ye Zhiqiu launched an investigation overnight, and through many inquiries, he learned that Qinxing had been haunted in this area recently.
The person who broke through Kong Yunjie's practice once claimed to be a flower thief, and his light skills were so good, which was completely consistent with Qin Xing's identity and strength.
Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu decided that the person who broke the apprentice's practice was Qin Xing, and regarded Qin Xing as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and made up his mind to eradicate Qin Xing to prevent future troubles.
If Qin Xing publicizes the ugly things he saw, although not many people will believe it, it will eventually have a bad impact on Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, so Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice will not let Qin Xing go.
Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice made a secret visit in the nearby area to track down Qinxing's whereabouts, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and nothing was found.
In the fruitless investigation, Ye Zhiqiu had a poisonous plan, thought of the method of planting the blame, and decided to do a few more cases and plant them all on Qin Xing's head. In this way, Qinxing can be completely discredited and made Qinxing the target of public criticism. If everything goes well, he can still borrow a knife to kill someone and use someone else's hands to kill Qin Xing.
The case that happened last night is the masterpiece of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, this is just the beginning, and the two will continue to kill the girl in the future, and all the blood accounts will be counted on Qin Xing's head until Qin Xing is killed!
Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyelids, glanced at the back of his apprentice, and said lightly: "This incident not only warned you, but also gave a wake-up call to the teacher, it seems that you have to be careful when practicing for the teacher in the future, you can only practice at home, not outside." ”
"But our master and apprentice are involved in too many things, and we have to walk the rivers and lakes for most of the year to do errands, so how much time do we have to stay at home." Kong Yunjie shook his head and said.
"In the future, just try to go out as much as possible, anyway, I have already made a reputation, and there is no need to compete for fame and fortune in the rivers and lakes. In a few days, you will go to the Sword Casting Villa to participate in the fight, and strive to get the Zichu Sword in your hands, while I will continue to deal with Qinxing and build momentum in various parts of the rivers and lakes. When I'm done dealing with Qinxing, I'll go back to Sword Forge Villa to join you, and we'll go home together. Ye Zhiqiu said.
Kong Yunjie turned around, faced the master, bowed respectfully, and said, "The apprentice obeys the master's orders, this time you must get the Zichu Sword in your hands to add glory to your face." ”
"Well, when fighting, remember to be careful Zheng Wouji, this kid, he is the son of the current Sword Saint, his swordsmanship is uncanny, and his cultivation realm is as high as yours, and he will be your fierce opponent." Ye Zhiqiu reminded.
"I often hear people talk about me and him, saying that they want to know who is better than me and him, and I can take this opportunity to share with him." Kong Yunjie's face was a little more proud.
"Well, the teacher will be waiting for your good news." Ye Zhiqiu closed his eyes again, and two mists, one hot and one cold, appeared above his head again, "Okay, I'm going to continue practicing, don't disturb me anymore." In the evening, the two of us went to the town to find a little girl to 'pick up', and then planted the blame on Qin Xing's head. ”
"Yes." Kong Yunjie agreed. Excited. Every "pick-up". It's all a treat. In this world, I am afraid there is no more enjoyable internal strength than "taking away the double * cultivation". It's a pity that there are too many dogmas in the world, and this internal skill is regarded as an evil skill, and it cannot be cultivated openly.
……
Zhao was leaning against the wall, but he didn't practice, just simply resting. This is a private storehouse, which is full of various farm tools and sundries, and it is very dusty. A ray of moonlight shines in through the window, under the cropping of the window. It became square and imprinted on the ground like frost. In this kind of place, it is inconvenient to practice, and he is not in the mood to practice now.
He was assigned by Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice to squat in the pit here and wait for the thief, waiting for the flower thief Qin Xing to appear, if Qin Xing really appeared, he would be responsible for transmitting the news to Tingfeng Lou, so that everyone could come over and catch the thief together. He knew that Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice were not good people, and he might even be the real culprit behind the scenes. So I was full of resistance to this task, and I only came over as a last resort.
He will do things for the wicked. Waiting here is not a thief's thief, and the mood is really not good.
"Forget it, just sleep and recharge, it's useless to sulk here." Zhao Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, closed his eyes, relaxed, and let himself enter a half-dream.
After about half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, someone walked to the door, knocked on the door a few times, and then a kind voice came: "Child, you help catch the thief, it's really hard, I have cooked you a bowl of millet porridge and an egg, you can eat it while it's hot." ”
Zhao Zheng heard the voice of the houseowner's aunt, and quickly sat up from the ground and opened the warehouse door.
The aunt of the owner of the house stood outside the door, holding a bowl of hot porridge with a pair of chopsticks on it, and a red-skinned egg stuffed into the porridge.
Zhao Zheng's heart was hot, he took the hot porridge, and said gratefully: "Thank you Auntie for your tireless efforts to help me make supper, I can't eat this bowl of porridge for nothing, I will pay you." ”
"What money is not money, you stay here to catch thieves, to eliminate harm for the people, how can I ask for your money. I also have a little girl at home, and since what happened last night, I am always worried about her accident. I hope you heroes can catch the thief quickly, so that I can feel at ease. "Auntie said plainly.
"I'll do my best." Zhao Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, and said that he was suffering.
"You eat it while it's hot, if it's not enough, tell me, and I'll serve it to you." Auntie said.
Zhao Zheng nodded, sat directly on the threshold of the warehouse, and ate a bowl of porridge and an egg, his stomach became hot, and he was very comfortable. He returned the dishes and chopsticks to his aunt, turned around and entered the warehouse, and continued to close his eyes and rest. The family's yard was very small, with only one house, and in order not to cause trouble to the family, he took the initiative to come to this warehouse to squat and catch the thief.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the second watch in the middle of the night.
Zhao Zheng kept leaning against the wall and didn't move, on the surface he was asleep, but in fact, his mind was still very clear and he could hear the movement in the courtyard clearly.
Suddenly, a finger came out of nowhere, and quickly clicked Zhao Zheng twice, fainting him a little, with a very strong hand.
Zhao Zheng was clear in his heart, knowing that he had been attacked by a master, and the secret path was not good, and then he lost consciousness and didn't know anything.
I don't know how long it took, but he woke up and felt like he had a dream. He opened his eyes and looked around, realizing that he was still in the warehouse. His head was groggy, and he still had the sequelae of the acupuncture. This means that everything is not a dream, he really has been attacked by someone once!
"Oops!" Zhao Zheng snorted, identified the situation, opened his eyes, and flew up.
He quickly checked his body and found that the two swords were still there, and there was nothing unusual about them.
The enemy is silent, he must be a master, since he has caught his acupoint, there must be some plan. There is nothing on him now, proving that the enemy's goal is not him, but another goal.
In this courtyard, apart from him, there is only the owner's family.
"Could it be ......" Zhao Zheng thought of a possibility, and was so shocked that he broke through his body in cold sweat and his hands trembled. (To be continued......)
