Chapter 254: You Don't Want to Be Re-elected?
The ancestral tombs of Xiang and Ma are on a mountain, which is a mountain full of vitality, full of green, and the rustle of the leaves formed by the wind makes people feel happy when they listen to it.
Maybe it's a little strange to say that you are in a happy mood here in someone's ancestral tomb, but this is Ling Xiao's most straightforward feeling at this time.
Before reaching the foot of the mountain, Buddha Yin quietly approached Ling Xiao, "This mountain is very exquisite!" ”
Ling Xiaoqi said: "How to pay attention? ”
"This entire mountain is pressed on the intersection of several dragon veins, just relying on the luck that escapes from these dragon veins is enough to bless the Yin Xiang and the Ma clan!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao looked meaningfully at Xiang Huai, who was talking to Qin Shuang at the front of the team, "Then I don't see anything special about these two clans." ”
Buddha Yin's brows were tightly locked, and he was equally puzzled when he touched his bald head, "It stands to reason that these luck alone are enough to make these two clans soar, and at least there should be a few champions!" ”
Ling Xiao nodded, his eyes flickering, "The imperial examination has always been a major event in the imperial court, and the background investigation of students is naturally the top priority. If any of the champions are from here, there's no reason why we shouldn't know. So either the people in this village have a kind of consciousness of taoguang and obscurity, or they use their luck for other purposes! ”
"Misappropriation of luck? You overestimate them, don't you use luck when you say it? If they have that ability, why are they still hiding in this small mountain village? Buddha Yin's face was full of indifference, and he scoffed at Ling Xiao's whimsy.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything, just followed the troops, and when he came to the foot of the mountain, Xiang Huai smiled and said, "All the knights." Not far from the mountain is the ancestral grave of our two tribes. Please also move gently, don't disturb the ancestors! ”
"Old village chief, rest assured, we know the severity." Qin Shuang replied with a smile.
The people followed the old village chief into the mountains and walked through the dense jungle. Look out through the gap in the forest. Finding that there were trees in addition to the trees, this situation made Ling Xiao's heart sink, almost the same as what happened in the original illusion. At first, he thought it was the effect of ghosts hitting the wall, but now it seems that it is arranged in strict accordance with the real environment!
"What is the reason? The effects of the power of the soul? Or is it due to the formation? Ling Xiao's brows tightened, and the way he muttered to himself made Ruthless worried, "What's wrong with you?" But what did you find? ”
Ling Xiao didn't answer, but asked, "Do you feel anything special?" ”
Ruthlessly closed his eyes and released the invisible power, opened his eyes for a long time and shook his head, "There is nothing abnormal." The Buddha seal on the side also shook his head, "I didn't find anything strange either. ”
Ling Xiao was silent when she heard this, let's take a look.
Just like Xiang Huai said. Not long after, after turning a big tree surrounded by three people, I saw the ancestral graves of two families!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, it was too big! The ancestral grave is too big. From here to the top of the mountain, there are scattered tombstones. How many tombstones mean how many dead people, and when did the two families move here? The history is so long.
Seeing the appearance of many people in the martial arts, Xiang Huai could obviously see a proud look in his eyes, and everyone thought that he was proud of the glory of his family. But no one saw the coldness in his eyes.
Ling Xiao's face was solemn. He was not shocked by this scene, because he had already seen it in the illusion, and he still looked at the names of the tombstones one by one! Fortunately, I wasn't so bored that I counted how many people died.
The reason why Ling Xiao's face was serious now was because this place was exactly the same as the graveyard in the illusion! Even the state of wandering without a soul is exactly the same.
As a cemetery, there is not a soul floating on the ground, are you ashamed to be a cemetery? Not only do you have no soul, you don't even have resentment, are the people of your two families dying and smiling? What's even more outrageous is that there is no gloomy atmosphere in a good cemetery! Is it really like the advertisement of the cemetery in the previous life? This is not a cemetery, it is a luxury villa for the soul!
The crowd quietly dispersed. The old village chief showed you all the ancestral graves, and tried to put your steps lightly to give people face.
Just as everyone scattered to check, Ling Xiao squatted down and looked at the nearby tombstones. A familiar and unfamiliar name is in the eyes, but the more I look at it, the more I frown. Most of these names are the same as those in the fantasy world, but the only ones who are still alive are missing. looked at Xiang Huai not far away, is it because these people are not dead yet?
Maybe Ling Xiao did it too obviously, maybe it was because this Huai was already a stunt, and he actually noticed Ling Xiao's gaze. nodded to him from afar, slowly stood up and walked into the distance, not squinting and even speeding up slightly in the process.
Sensing Ling Xiao's words, he followed up ruthlessly and quietly, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”
Ling smiled, "There should be a small wooden house in front. ”
Ruthlessly stunned, "How do you know?" But despite her doubts, she silently followed. Qin Shuang and the others naturally saw Ling Xiao's strange appearance and followed one after another.
After a long time, the small wooden house located on the edge of the cemetery finally entered Ling Xiao's eyes, the ordinary wooden structure did not show any characteristics, and there was no empty tomb in front of the house.
Ling Xiao didn't go any further, although Qin Shuang and the others wanted to go to the house to see what was going on, but Ling Xiao knew that there would be no clues in it, because the other party didn't let him into the house in the illusion at the beginning, so there shouldn't be anything important in it.
"Old village chief, I wonder who made this hut?" Ling Xiao turned around and asked nonchalantly.
The old village chief was happy, "This small house is made by the tomb keepers of my Xiang and Ma tribes. But there's usually no one. ”
Ling smiled and asked again, "Then can we meet this grave keeper?" It won't be a mysterious old man! ”
Ling Daxia laughed, where did he come from! It's just two hairy children, if you want to see them, I'll take you there. Xiang Huai said as if he was going to the depths of the jungle, and he didn't wait for Qin Shuang and the others behind him to feel in a hurry.
Ling Xiao grabbed him, the corners of his mouth curled up and said with a meaningful smile: "Why should the old village chief be in a hurry? It's not too late to go when you're done checking this piece. By the way, a few days ago, Xiang Shaolong of the Xiang family said that he wanted to learn martial arts from me. I wonder if the old village chief thinks this is feasible? I don't mind taking on an apprentice. ”
The old village chief smiled when he heard this: "Being able to worship Ling Daxia as a teacher is his creation. How can old decay stop it! ”
Ling Xiao was completely stunned when he heard this, and gently put down the hand that grabbed the old village chief and said, "What the old village chief said is reasonable, but I have a hard time and can't teach it!" ”
The old village chief was slightly stunned, "Then why did Ling Daxia say that before?" Are you kidding? ”
Ling smiled for a while, pulled out the sword from behind his back, gently put it on the old village chief's neck and said, "I really can't teach." Who knows which corner Xiang Shaolong has been reincarnated in now? Or the old village chief, you can find him first, and then I'll teach him!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and they rushed over after seeing what Ling Xiao had done. "Ling Xiao, what's going on? Don't be impulsive. Qin Shuang came over and said.
Ling Xiao ignored him, looked at the old village chief's panicked appearance and pouted: "The acting skills are too poor, if you want to show your fear." Do you pee your pants or something? ”
"Decayed. I don't know what offended the hero? Xiang Huai said with a flustered face.
Ling smiled and said, "As the head of a village, even if you can't remember all the names of the people of your clan, you will always have an impression of some special ones. What's more, with or without this person, you don't even know such a fundamental problem. It seems that you, the village chief, don't want to be re-elected! ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help frowning and looking at Xiang Huai, who said angrily when he heard this: "This ...... I'm usually busy, how can I remember these little things. Maybe it's because people are old and their memory is declining! You made up a name, how can I know. ”
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Hahaha." Well, the fictitious name you don't know. Then the ancestors of your Xiang family will always remember! Look behind you! ”
When the people heard this, they looked at each other. The big words "Tomb of Xiang Shaolong" look so ironic.
Xiang Huai's face turned black in an instant, and when he turned his head again, the fear on his face had disappeared, and he said calmly: "When did you doubt me?" ”
Ling smiled and said, "I never believed in you. ”
"Why is that?" Xiang Huai's face was full of puzzlement, he asked himself if his acting skills were still good, why did he goof?
"You are very hospitable, and you are so hospitable that people can't bear to check you, but you are not ordinary people after all, and you don't understand the details of ordinary people's lives." Ling Xiao was confident.
"What details?"
Not only Xiang Huai wanted to know, but even Qin Shuang, Ji Tianfang, Duan Tianya and others also wanted to know. Everyone is a new generation of martial arts leaders, and if they don't say it on the surface, they will naturally have a comparison mood in private. Why can he find out, and we can only be kept in the valley!
Ling Xiao chuckled and said slowly, "The first time I doubted you was Lin Xian'er's girl, although she was once rich and glorious, she was still a real grassroots, and she had lived in a small village for many years, and she noticed at first glance that something was wrong with you. There are no children here! ”
Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered what everyone had overlooked, in fact, even if someone really found out about this, they wouldn't care. To be able to create a reputation at this age, there must be a lot of resources behind him, and the cultivation of family power. Otherwise, civilian warriors will have to delay a lot of time just to work and make money, and in the eyes of these warriors who are considered the children of rich families, it is not unusual for children to be locked up at home. But people with real life experience know that most of the children in the mountain villages are kept outside by their parents!
Xiang Huai's eyes were cold, and he said with a smile: "I see, I was actually seen through by a little girl." You say the first time, so is there any? ”
"Of course, the second time was when Xiao Qiang died, don't you think it's too far-fetched to explain it by the enemy accidentally revealing Xingzang? In my opinion, it was more like someone deliberately sabotage, and the target of that killer was not Zhuo Yihang and Song Yuanqiao, the two Dao brothers, he was going to kill that Xiaoqiang at the beginning, as for the reason, it should be to prevent him from hurting the two Dao brothers, or there is also hatred in it. Ling Xiao looked at Wudang and the two said.
The two looked at each other, and when they recalled carefully, the eyes of the two men in black were indeed full of consternation, and the person who shot the knife did not besiege the two together.
Xiang Huai snorted coldly and said, "Yes, that person is indeed an accident, but these are just speculations, I don't believe that you have confirmed my suspicion with these." ”
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's the case, but you still don't know me well enough." It doesn't matter to me if there is evidence or not, my brother has been in Jinyiwei. Suspicion is enough. I do things like the law occasionally. But I wasn't in a hurry this time, and then I tried again. ”
"What temptation?"
"That boy from Ma Liu served us very comfortably, so I took out a large gold ingot to thank him. You know. Brother is not bad for money! But I didn't expect this kid to be worse than my brother, and he pushed back the gold without even looking at it. My master once used a jewel to debunk the Wuxiang Emperor, and I did the same this time. Although your village is rich, it is not up to the level of treating money like dung in terms of hard conditions such as decoration and housing. So that Ma Liu also has a problem! Ling Xiao affirmed.
Xiang Huai's eyes were full of gloom and said, "Hmph! Worse than useless! ”
Ling smiled, "You don't need to be so angry, I just felt very strange at first." After all, it cannot be ruled out that Ma Liu is the kind of virtuous man with noble character. But then the killer came again, and the throwing knife came, and although I protected Ma Liu, I was sure of it. His target really is you villagers. On the contrary, he had no ill will towards us, and even if he used a spell to trap me in the illusion, he did not attack, but quietly retreated. ”
Xiang Huai was silent, and said for a while: "I can't imagine that we have planned for a long time but there are still so many flaws. In the end, the bad thing is in the hands of the siblings. Go without saying. Yesterday all of us must have strengthened your suspicions. ”
Ling Xiao said when he heard this: "It turns out that those two killers are sisters and brothers, I thought they were two big men!" I don't know if my sister is beautiful. Yes, you are acting too suspiciously, especially today when you offered to lead the way. I know you're going to have a showdown! ”
Xiang Huai suddenly smiled hideously: "Then you dare to follow?" ”
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but raise their vigilance.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "I have to figure out something, this matter has something to do with you, and I'm just guessing." So had to come. ”
Xiang Huai snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter what speculation you have. You, including your disciples, will die in a short time, and soul grievances will contribute to our cause. ”
Ling laughed and said, "It turns out that you need souls and resentment, I always thought that those unjust souls were just a side effect of your strong arts." ”
Ling Xiao smiled and rubbed the blade of his sword against Xiang Huai's shoulder and said, "Saying that I can kill you with just a slight stroke, why are you arrogant?" ”
Who knew that Xiang Huai smiled and said, "You can try it!" ”
Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Hey! I'm so grumpy, just try it! He slashed his sword.
Everyone was shocked, they were too impulsive, and at least they could ask a lot of questions!
However, Ling Xiao's face was a little ugly, the blade of the sword slashed across his neck, there was no blood splattering, no difficult breathing, and no touch at all.
Xiang Huai stared at everyone with a smile, his originally incomparably kind face suddenly began to distort, and the entire facial muscles seemed to suddenly turn into disgusting meat worms, and began to squirm and reorganize. After a while, it changed into another face, an extremely gloomy and hideous face.
"Oh! I still like the face you had before, so plastic surgery isn't necessarily a good thing. Ling Xiao said with a malicious smile on his face.
Xiang Huai smiled coldly, and his figure began to become illusory and transparent, and gradually disappeared.
Ling Xiao suddenly grinned, "It seems that this cannon really can't be put indiscriminately, and counterattack has never been the patent of hot-blooded Xiaoqiang!" ”
Ren Wuxing frowned and said, "Very clever illusions, we actually fell into the Tao unconsciously. ”
Buddha Yin shook his head, "It's not like that, illusion is still a kind of spiritual attack after all, and the real essence lies in attacking the divine soul." Illusions like this that only slightly affect the senses are of the lowest level, and the reason why we didn't find them was because it was not a threat to us, so your warrior instincts didn't work. ”
Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "But this trick is quite practical for escaping, in the end, the magic resistance is too low." ”
"What's the magic resistance?" Just when a few people were puzzled, a gloomy voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Hahahaha! Incompetent, too incompetent! Those who are unable to protect themselves will become a burden to others in the world. not only buried his own life, but also buried the future of his companions and many people in the martial arts. ”
The sound reverberated through the cemetery.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "In this way, the people who stay in the small mountain village will be your latest target!" ”
"Yes, since you have long suspected me and have not consulted with the others, this has indirectly given us time to set up. And your leader is still entangled in alliances and faithfulness, and a few simple words can stabilize him. As for others, they have their own thoughts, and in the final analysis, it is your selfishness that makes us successful. Tell me, how many have you put to death? ”
Ling Xiao glanced at Qin Shuang casually when he heard this, and he didn't care much about his iron-blue face.
At this time, the voice said, "As for Miss Yanagi, if you are willing to serve our young master, you can be free from the cage again. ”
Liu Sheng Xue Ji frowned slightly, but he snorted coldly and ignored it, and his jade hand was lightly rested on the hilt of the knife, and he would definitely be the first to kill if there was any abnormal movement.
Ling smiled, "Do you know the difference between us? ”
"A few wrecked bodies that are about to fall, and the first person who will create a foundation for all generations in the future!" The voice smirked.
"No, no! Although the ambition of your young master has particularly touched me, I still have to say it. Even if you fall, there will still be people with the same will to move forward, and you, even if you die in the end, are still alone, and all you have is that ridiculous Spring and Autumn dream! ”
"Well said! The poor monks are going to applaud you. Buddha Yin Le said.
Ruthless looked at Ling Xiao with some surprise, as if he knew him for the first time, these words were a little different from his style!
The voice was silent for a moment, and then added, "In that case, I will show you what will happen to you who are so-called of the same will." Let's see if anyone else will follow your path. ”
The words fell in mid-air, and the intertwined light curtains formed a phantom in the air, and the phantom appeared to be an image in a small mountain village. At this time, the sky of the small mountain village was full of blood-red and terrifying hideous evil ghosts!
"Why are you so hot-blooded all of a sudden?" Li Yingqiong's eyes were a little fanatical, and she secretly pulled Ling Xiao's sleeve and asked.
Ling Xiao whispered quietly with a righteous face full of righteousness: "If you don't have a little blood, how can you bring out the wise and divine martial arts I arranged in the mountain village!" ”(
