Chapter 12 Success and Failure
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and it was finally coming, so I put the pig-killing knife to my waist, sorted out my clothes, and stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Lei Yuhao.
With a burst of unlocking sounds, two strong men came in, but only Lei Yuhao was missing, which couldn't help but make me a little disappointed, at this moment, I really wanted to see the unstoppable look on his face, so that it would be more interesting when he lost his soul.
The two men, who did not carry lanterns for light, went into the dark room like two cats that could see at night, twisted my hands back, untied the hemp rope from my waist, tied it firmly, set it up, and went outside, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Tonight, the moonlight flickered and dimmed, hazy, out of the house, to the verandah, I found that I had been locked up in Lei Yuhao's house, no wonder the person who sent the knife came so late.
The moment I walked out of the alley, I pretended to glance at Lei Yuhao's house casually, only to see a black shadow flash and disappear, I suppressed the tension and excitement in my heart, and nodded slightly.
At this time, I am afraid that they have all gathered in the central clearing of the town, ready to watch the execution, and sure enough, when there is still some distance from the clearing, you can see the white round lantern floating in the sky like a spirit flag, and the black pressure of the human head under the lantern.
I was directly framed to Lei Yuhao's side, and there was a black blood stain left by Qi Zhuzhu on the sand under my feet, Lei Yuhao slowly raised his head and squinted at me: "Lei Dangjia, before you die, what else do you want to ask?" The old man must know everything, and he must have said everything, but the question in your heart can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Master Lei for building the town back then. ”
"Who am I?" ”
"Hmm" he nodded contentedly; "I expected you to ask like this, it's okay, the province can get the following, when Lord Yama asks you, you don't know if you ask, you can't be reincarnated if you offend King Hades."
After speaking, he took out an old map from his arms, unfolded it and shook it in front of me: "Remember this? ”
It was a leather map, only about a foot square, and due to the age and dim light, I could only see the mountains and rivers on it, but I couldn't see the details, and I shook my head at him.
"Okay, then the old man should be fine, your name is Zhang Xiaofeng, you are an orphan, you went to this town with Cui Dali and Li Yuanmei, in order to take away the eight ancient jades, write it down?" ”
After hearing these words, the first thing I thought of was, I and Qi Xuanzhu are not in the same group? So how did he know me? This is the biggest problem tonight, the reason why it is confident that Lei Yuhao will not be able to kill me is completely based on the condition that Qi Xuanzhu is his own person, but if Lei Yuhao said this, wouldn't this matter be chaotic.
No, I have to buy time, whether it's right or wrong, since there is a black shadow entering Lei Yuhao's house, I have to delay for him for a while anyway, even if I can't save myself, as long as I take the things away, Lei Yuhao will regret it.
"What do I want that Gu Yu for?" ”
"Hehehe, what? That's a treasure that can manipulate life and death, and borrow troops from Hades, otherwise how do you think we got here? It's not enough just the yin and yang pattern of the town, this ancient jade is the most yin thing, just put it in that has the ability to absorb the soul and summon the soul, this is called gathering like things, otherwise Lord Lei and Master Li would not have traveled thousands of miles to this barren mountain and wilderness, and built a ghost town at any cost, this ancient jade is like a fish in water, and if it is placed at home, it is like erecting a grave bag in the hall, and sooner or later the family will be ruined. ”
"Since I'm here to steal treasures and I'm an orphan, why do you say it's disloyal and unfilial to kill me?" And you keep calling me Lei in charge, but you say that my surname is Zhang, what does it mean? ”
The above few words, but also pretending to be calm, gritted his teeth and said, in fact, from the moment he said that I was an orphan, he began to have a headache, with the constant pain in his head, I slowly began to think of some things, first flashed out a few names, the second master, Yuanmei, Zeng Rourou, etc., and then there were intermittent and incomplete photos, these photos were more and more, and they poured out in no order, and filled the entire head in an instant, with a flower in front of me, I hurriedly lowered my head, closed my eyes and shook it gently, Both ears began to squeak in the ears, and when I opened my eyes again, I found a pool of bright red blood on the ground, and a crisp itch came from my nose, and then I realized that I had a nosebleed.
Lei Yuhao was still talking to himself, I took two deep breaths of cold air, my mind gradually returned to normal, slowly raised my head, and looked coldly at him dancing, only for a while, he realized that something was wrong, suddenly stopped his voice, turned his face to look at me, and the moment he looked at each other, I clearly saw a trace of panic and panic flashing in his eyes.
Panic flashed, followed by his trademark smug look and an unstoppable look: "What? Lei Dangjia, all remembered? ”
Instead of answering his question directly, I smiled and asked, "What?" Lei Du Town, it seems that you are not going to hand over this Du Zhen Seal to me? ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, I accompanied him, and the two of them laughed heartily, but every laugh was full of murderous intent.
Lei Yuhao walked behind me while laughing, took the oil hammer that smashed Qi Zhuzhu from the big man behind him, shook it with a smile in front of me, and touched the top of my head, the two of them laughed loudly again, suddenly, he raised the copper hammer high, and the smile on his face immediately turned into a gritted tooth hideous, I still smiled and stared at his eyes, waiting for the moment when the copper hammer fell.
"You smash him, I'll smash it, come on!" ”
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the back of the crowd, Lei Yuhao hurriedly took a look at it with a copper hammer, the crowd quickly flashed a way, revealing the second master with a bad smile, at this time he was squatting on the ground with a fishskin knife on his back, with a small lantern next to him, holding the ancient jade of the Duzhen seal in his left hand, and holding half a green brick in his right hand, the action was the same as Lei Yuhao, raised high, and was about to fall, to see what else was behind him, but the light was blocked by him tightly, and he couldn't see what it was.
"Fuck, come on, whoever doesn't smash is the king, come on!" ”
"Hey, hey, second master, you bet don't pull me, don't let go?" Hurry up! ”
Lei Yuhao slowly put down the copper hammer in his hand with a shocked face, and waved his hand at the few big men behind, and the two people behind were just about to step forward, I said: "Forget it, it's troublesome, come by yourself." ”
After speaking, the body shook, the hemp rope fell, and the pig-killing knife was returned to his waist, completely ignoring Lei Yuhao's surprised eyes, and walked straight to the second master, when passing by Yuanmei, he dragged her out with a sluggish face, and Mr. Li on the side was just about to move to grab people, I took advantage of the situation and backhanded a big slap, glared at him viciously, and he took a few steps back and stood back in place.
Pulling Yuanmei to the second master's side, looking back, it turned out to be our equipment, and hurriedly put on the sword and backpack, the second master shouted: "Hey, Lei Du Town, thank you, you can sharpen my fishskin knife, you can use it as a mirror, it's too polite." ”
"Hahaha, you're welcome, you're welcome, you're a guest, the old man should have done his landlord's friendship, but now it seems that I still treat you slowly, otherwise how can there be such a big resentment?" Lei Yuhao walked towards us with his hands behind his back and as he spoke.
The crowd behind him also turned to us, one by one, their eyes widened expressionlessly, I looked at Yuanmei anxiously, she was still standing in a demented state without reaction, and the second master also asked in a worried whisper: "Commander Li hasn't woken up yet?" I snorted, grabbed Yuanmei's shoulders and shook them back and forth, if she really started to move for a while, wouldn't she become a burden?
The second master seemed to understand this, handed me the six ancient jade and green bricks, pulled out the knife from the sheath, walked to Lei Yuhao, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked, "How do you know who we are thinking about?" ”
He suddenly asked this question, not only me, but even Lei Yuhao was stunned, and then said with a smile: "This is a ghost town, we are ghosts, ghosts are naturally invisible, the reason why the lotus flower will become like this is completely because of what you miss in your heart, as the so-called relationship is born from the heart, but once you smash the six ancient jade, we, well, including the lotus, Mr. Li and Chunxiang, will all be wiped out, you, you, are you willing?" ”
Hearing this, the two of us silently lowered our heads, and the second master's knife reflected the flame of the lantern and trembled slightly.
Lei Yuhao continued: "The reason why the old man didn't kill you as soon as you arrived in the town is because of your and Li Yuanmei's identity as leaders, after all, this town was built by your ancestors, and we are just favored by people and backed by a big tree, so we can't be killed logically, and secondly, each of you has a knot in your heart, and I can see it from the moment we meet, if you can resolve your knot, let you settle down, and live a plain and comfortable life as an ordinary person, it can be regarded as our accumulation of merit and a good deed."
To tell the truth, not only the old man, but also the men, women and children in the town, none of them are willing to kill, we work here to live, neither seek wealth, nor seek power, let alone harm the world, only hope to get rid of the six realms as soon as possible, away from the sea of suffering, those who die under this copper hammer are all damned people, and we are also helpless. ”
"You fart, why should Qi Xuanzhu die?" To indiscriminately kill innocents and find such a high-sounding excuse is clearly a strong argument! "Now I think of being tied up as the only descendant of Qijia Town, and I actually watch him die in front of me and fail to save him, and my heart aches.
"That's it, that pillar brother is the only seedling in Qijia Town, let you be an old immortal with a hammer to death, you wait, the second master, I will also give you ten thousand peach blossoms in a while!" ”
"Two, don't get excited, now it seems that I killed Qi Xuanzhu too late, but I also killed the right one, isn't it?" He is a brother on your side, but it is a great disaster for us, and the old man still allows him to live until now, isn't this the most benevolent and righteous? ”
"This...."We are speechless when this is true, yes, as the so-called matter is seen from two sides, although we are carrying the banner of saving the country from danger this time, what we are doing is not also a matter of roosters and dogs? If it is really like what Lei Yuhao said, once the Liuyao Guyu leaves Longchang, the entire town will cease to exist, and they will also be scattered, what is the difference between us and those bandits who kill people and overhaul the goods?
Seeing that we were speechless, Lei Yuhao moved his finger towards Yuanmei, Yuanmei walked slowly like a marionette, and grabbed me firmly, I could have drawn my sword to protect myself, but it was Yuanmei, it was really not right to struggle, it was not right not to struggle, the second master watched from the side, and flew over with a knife, towards Yuanmei's neck, raised the knife and slashed, I hurriedly shouted: "Second master!" ”
The knife stopped in mid-air for a moment, the second master stomped his feet, and then turned around and went straight to Lei Yuhao, Lei Yuhao calmly looked at the tip of the knife less than half a foot away from him, and suddenly his face changed, and a woman's delicate voice instantly sounded: "Da Li, you, what are you doing?" ”
What a vicious trick! The second master put the knife against the lotus's neck, gritted his teeth, but looked at her helplessly, and the lotus was frightened, looking at it with tears on his face, and finally the second master looked up to the sky and sighed, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, I also shook my head helplessly, the two let people get off the weapon, tied a strong, Lei Yuhao ordered: "The hour has passed, take it back for the time being, and kill it again on another day." ”
As he spoke, he walked over, took back the ancient jade from my hand, handed it to Fugui behind him, held the white pole, and led everyone to go back.
When Mr. Li passed by me, he kicked me hard, took Yuanmei's hands, followed the team, and gradually moved away, the second master spat on the ground fiercely, and shook his head regretfully.
