998 The Covenant of Seven Days Came to Nothing
How big should that be a tree? Qin Xianglin couldn't describe it in words, he just rode on the back of the golden eagle and flew up for at least twenty minutes, still shrouded in branches.
The city and palace that Qin Xianglin saw, including the people inside, all lived in this tree. Man is as small as an ant in front of this giant tree.
It was about half an hour later that the golden eagle flew out of the direction of the giant tree, which was already above the white clouds.
"Mr. Qin, we don't dare to go to other places, but we still send you back to the vicinity of Beihan Mountain, where the yin and yang aura is unstable and the order of heaven and earth is chaotic, what do you think?" Lord Niu asked Qin Xianglin loudly on top of the golden eagle.
This is also the place where Qin Xianglin wants to go, after all, in Loulan City under the Northern Cold Mountain, Zhou Chenggang is still waiting for Qin Xianglin there.
"In addition, Mr. Qin, if you want to come to see the big tree, you can send us a message in advance through the crow, otherwise, between heaven and earth, our giant tree city will not be visible!" Lord Niu continued to instruct.
Qin Xianglin nodded and asked, "Lord Niu, how can I contact the crow to send you a message?" ”
"I'll give you a list of spells here, you just need to urge the spells, and the crows will come to you, and you can bring them a message when the time comes, and you don't need a letter!" Lord Liu said.
Qin Xianglin remembered them one by one in his heart, and Lord Niu, who was above the golden eagle, was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly restrained the golden eagle and did not dare to continue walking.
"Oh no, Mr. Qin, we don't dare to go any further!" Lord Niu said nervously.
Qin Xianglin frowned and asked, "What?" ”
"The breath ahead is wrong, there are people in the earth!" Lord Niu said.
Qin Xianglin raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white sun above his head, and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it?" Do the people in the underworld dare to come out during the day? ”
"Naturally, there are officials who have walked for 100 days!" Lord Niu said to Qin Xianglin with certainty: "Otherwise, we will let the underworld find out, Mr. Qin, we can only go here!" ”
Qin Xianglin nodded, let the golden eagle fall to the ground, and Qin Xianglin said goodbye to Lord Niu and the others. The place of whereabouts is half a day's journey away from Loulan City, Qin Xianglin quickly rushed to Loulan City, on the way, thinking that the mark of destruction on his soul has been cured, and the big tree has also awakened, and he can see Zhou Chenggang and Da Ming again, and he can't help but be quite happy in his heart.
When Qin Xianglin arrived at Loulan City, he met a carriage at the gate of the city and walked out, the carriage was covered with something with a black cloth, and it was the Taoist boy who led the horse, and the people around him were all dressed in linen and filial piety, among which there were several old men with long beards and white eyebrows wearing Taoist robes and the old monk who was disillusioned and walked out together.
Qin Xianglin hurriedly stood aside and let go of the funeral procession, wondering in his heart: "Isn't it a powerful Taoist figure who died in Loulan City?" Then I remembered that as long as the people on the Beihan Mountain after going to Loulan City that night, no matter whether they were right or evil, as long as they were recruited, no one should be able to go down the mountain alive.
Thinking about it this way, it is not uncommon to encounter a funeral in this Loulan City.
Qin Xianglin was thinking so, and suddenly saw Gao Jin, Tian Yong, and Zhang Qingling in the crowd, all three of whom had white cloths wrapped around their arms, and their expressions were sad.
Qin Xianglin suddenly felt that something was not right, and walked forward, came to the three of them, and asked in a low voice, "Three, who is dead?" ”
The three of them were all walking with their heads down because of their sadness, and this time they suddenly raised their heads, and Qin Xianglin was taken aback.
"Brother Qin......" Zhang Qingling cried with a sigh of relief. Qin Xianglin hurriedly helped Zhang Qingling and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”
At this time, Gao Jin on the side spoke with a crying voice, "Uncle Zhou...... He's dead! ”
"What?"
That is, in an instant, Qin Xianglin felt a roar in his head, as if a thunderbolt had fallen on top of his head. Qin Xianglin took three steps back in a row, barely able to stand. I only felt that my head was roaring in my ears, my eyes were black, and I didn't know where I was. The scene of saying goodbye to Uncle Zhou on the Beihan Mountain flashed in my mind, everything was vivid, as clear as yesterday, how could it be separated by heaven and man in the blink of an eye.
"Uncle Zhou...... How could it be...... He, he is a gold medal personally sealed by the governor of Yin and Yang, how can he die like that? Qin Xianglin asked angrily.
"After Uncle Zhou's death, there was the first reaction on the nameplate of the underworld, and we all knew about it after receiving the notice from the underworld......" Gao Jin had already cried into tears.
"How can a gold medal walk die? No, no, never......" Qin Xianglin shook his head vigorously, "Even if Uncle Zhou's body is dead, what about his soul?" He's a man from the underworld......"
"It was done by a villainous character!" Gao Jin gritted his teeth on the side and said, "Not only did he kill Uncle Zhou's body, but then destroyed Uncle Zhou's soul......"
In an instant, Qin Xianglin was like being hit in the chest by a hammer, his grief was like a flood that burst the embankment, he couldn't hold it back anymore, two lines of hot tears rolled down, rushed to the front of the carriage, and bowed to the bones of Zhou Chenggang in the carriage.
"Knock knock......" Qin Xianglin knocked his head seven or eight times in a row, and blood was already oozing from his forehead.
"Uncle Zhou...... You and I agreed to meet again in seven days, and now, I have returned early, why did you leave early? Why? Why? Qin Xianglin was heartbroken and cried loudly.
In the desert, the yellow sand is rolling, under the blue sky and white sun, the cold wind is cold, and the flesh and blood of Qin Xianglin, who is drawn back and forth like a knife, is finally shattered.
Two Taoist boys came over to help Qin Xianglin up, and the carriage continued to move forward.
Gao Jin, Tian Yong and Zhang Qingling came over and stood with Qin Xianglin.
Zhang Qingling took out a small flag from his hand, with a soul character written on it, Qin Xianglin recognized this thing, it was a soul flag.
Under the grief and indignation, Qin Xianglin suddenly remembered that the person who was with Uncle Zhou should also be Da Ming, and immediately had an ominous premonition.
"When did you get here?" Qin Xianglin hurriedly asked.
"Yesterday!" Gao Jin replied.
"Apart from Uncle Zhou, is there anyone else injured?" Qin Xianglin asked, "There is not a young monk of the same grade as me?" ”
"Nope!" Gao Jin replied.
Qin Xianglin looked carefully, and did not see Da Ming in the funeral crowd, and couldn't help but become more and more worried in his heart.
Before Uncle Zhou was killed, nine times out of ten he was with Daming, and he never saw Daming's body, which does not mean that Daming is safe.
"I won't go back with you, I'm going to stay in this Lancheng to find out the murderer of Uncle Zhou!" Qin Xianglin gritted his teeth and said. As he spoke, his eyes looked like lightning at the old monk who was walking in front of the funeral procession, this person may not be impossible.
"Brother Qin, I'll stay with you!" Zhang Qingling looked at Qin Xianglin with crying red eyes, and it was difficult to hide the sadness in his voice.
"I'm going to stay too!" Gao Jin gritted his teeth and said. Tian Yong and Gao Jin almost spoke in unison.
Qin Xianglin looked at the three of them, and said with red eyes: "You have to go back, Uncle Zhou's funeral needs to be taken care of by manpower, I will stay here, if the murderer is found, I will notify you as soon as possible!" ”
When the three of them heard Qin Xianglin say this, they could only nod with tears in their eyes, thinking in their hearts: Uncle Zhou has passed away, and the underworld still can't find out who the murderer is? How can Brother Qin find out, besides, the murderer can kill Uncle Zhou, Brother Qin, even if you find out, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death. It's just that Brother Qin has this courage, is not afraid of life and death, and has this heart, Uncle Zhou should be relieved to know it?
However, Zhou Chenggang's soul has been crushed, where is there a saying that there is knowledge under the spring?
The three of them said goodbye to Qin Xianglin with tears, and went away with Zhou Chenggang's funeral procession. Qin Xianglin stood in place, watching everyone go away, thinking of Uncle Zhou's appearance in his heart, and couldn't help but blur his eyes with tears.
When the funeral procession was no longer visible, Qin Xianglin turned around and strode towards the small inn agreed with Zhou Chenggang and Da Ming.
When I came to the inn, I learned that the inn had closed, and I asked the people around me, and then I learned that the inn family of five died violently in one night, and each of them died suddenly, without any scars on their bodies.
When Qin Xianglin heard this way of death, he knew that this family had been taken away by the people of the underworld. Dead in their shop thought that the gold medal walked, that was a big thing in the yin and yang worlds.
Even if this matter has nothing to do with them, it is impossible for them to live in the world, they will be brought into the city of vain death, and they will inevitably be tortured, if they can't ask anything, they will have to be thrown into the hell of the originator, as for the first few layers, and how long they have to suffer in it, it depends on the mood of the executioner who interrogated the soul of the family at that time!
Qin Xianglin smashed open the locked door, strode in, and entered the small shop where he lived before going to the North Cold Mountain. The shop is neatly decorated, and there is no trace of movement, which means that there is no trace of a fight.
With Zhou Chenggang's cultivation, how strong can an enemy be able to kill Zhou Chenggang without any fighting?
There is another possibility that an acquaintance did it! From this point of view, the most suspicious person is the old monk of illusion, that old bald donkey is both good and evil, Qin Xianglin doesn't feel like a good person at a glance.
In addition to this disillusioned old monk, the most suspicious are Sun Tianchou and Youji, who are not without murderous intentions towards Zhou Chenggang.
"Who the hell could it be?" Qin Xianglin gritted his teeth and went downstairs. Walking on the street, I saw seven monks walking with a very charming little monk.
Qin Xianglin recognized them, they were the monks of the Dongying Thousand Buddha Hall.
Qin Xianglin walked past them, and the bewitching-looking monk nodded slightly at Qin Xianglin, a very elegant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, Qin Xianglin remembered that these guys were following Qin Xianglin up the Northern Cold Mountain at that time, and everyone else was dead, how did they survive to come down the mountain?
Thinking of this, Qin Xianglin was annoyed for no reason, pointed at this group of Dongying monks, and shouted angrily: "It's all for Lao Tzu to stop!" ”
