Chapter 19: The Lonely Grave

The dark night shrouded Lin Rang's figure, he stood on a high place, the eaves of a pavilion, looking at the prince's mansion.

The streets below are brightly lit and crowded. But the lights couldn't shine on the place where Lin Rang was. There was a cold wind all around.

Even if there is the cover of the night, Lin Rang doesn't want to come out, the Red Cloud County Lord has been dead for a few days, and now is the time on the cusp, as soon as he shows up, he may be discovered. Although at night, the odds are much smaller than during the day.

He originally thought that a powerful person like the Prince's Mansion would not take indiscriminate measures, but he didn't expect that the powerful would be quite shameless and pull irrelevant people in.

He was arrested, tied to the martial arts training ground of the prince's palace, and erected an elevated road, exposed to the sun and rain, without water and food.

Lin Rang only has three days, and the Prince's Mansion has already said that if Lin Rang does not show up within three days, he will divide the body of Gou He into five horses.

It's a trap. Lin Rang would not show up, he firmly warned himself in his heart to endure it, he must endure it.

The ending of Gou Er is already certain, Lin Rang has no ability to save it, and even he can't ask Ge Hong.

Although he is a refiner, although he has a strong cultivation, he is a lonely person after all, and he will not take risks for an inconsequential person.

He knew that tomorrow morning, the hour would come, and Gou He would be executed, and he came here with the intention of collecting Gou You's body.

And that cheap sister Lin Qingqing, Lin Rang didn't think about her safety. Its relationship with the Zhentianhou Mansion is there, and in front of the powerful Zhentianhou, even Prince Yi does not dare to blatantly call out.

Moreover, Lin Qingqing is still a student of the heaven-level class, and Haoran Academy will definitely take care of him. Besides, Lin Qingqing has nothing to do with this matter, and she is not the one who committed the murder.

Lin Rang's expression was calm, he was waiting, how weak and pale this waiting seemed to be. He wants to collect the corpse for his sake. And it's not a complete corpse. The five horses are divided into corpses, which is itself a dead corpse. This is a cruel punishment.

This is the sorrow of not having strength, Lin Rang has long known that in this world of the jungle, without strength, you can only be slaughtered by others.

Lin Rang let out a slow breath when there was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, he thought he could get the wreckage, but in fact he didn't.

He looked far away and could see the gates of the Prince's Palace. Until noon, I didn't see anyone carrying the body out.

There are only two possibilities for this, one is that he is not dead, and the other is that he is so dead that there is not even a scum left, because a powerful person like the Prince's Mansion must have that kind of vicious dog. It can be devoured with flesh and bones attached.

Of course, Lin Rang felt that the second possibility was a little bigger, and he left lightly, not daring to walk directly on the street, but shuttling through the remote alleys.

He went to Haoran Academy and went to Gou Er's room. Took away a few pieces of clothing.

Haoran Academy is not heavily guarded, and there is no need to do that, because no one has ever dared to come to Haoran College to make trouble.

Therefore, Lin Rang could easily sneak in, and with his stature, unless he was a master who had cultivated to the level of the Soul Turning Realm, it would be difficult to find him.

And the masters of Haoran Academy's Soul Turning Realm are basically old, so they won't wander around every day without anything. Instead, he always enjoys the warmth of some female tutors.

Lin Rang wants to build a tomb for Gou, and in the imperial capital, naturally he can't build a tomb. There are some barren mountains outside the imperial capital, all of which are tombs, and they are gloomy on weekdays. In addition to this, of course, there are mass graves. Because there were some people who died accidentally, the bodies were not claimed, so they were thrown directly in mass graves.

People with a little sympathy will dig a pit and bury it, but most of them roll a layer of straw mats or cover a layer of weeds, and in some places, you can see the white bones.

Quietly leaving Haoran Academy, Lin Rang heard a news from the mouths of those idlers in the imperial capital, that is, Gou He was really dead, and was divided into corpses by real five horses, and then the corpses were fed to dogs.

And Haoran Academy did not say this, the Prince's Mansion put a hat of accomplice on Gou Er's head, and it was not the person who was taken away in Haoran Academy.

For Haoran Academy, it is dispensable, if it dies, it will die, and it is not captured in the academy. Haoran College did not lose face.

Lin Rang chose a scenic spot, hit a hole in the ground with one palm, and then threw his clothes into it. Then they filled it with earth and built a mound of graves.

Without a tombstone, Lin Rang didn't need to do this, and of course he didn't need to. Because he has no relatives, no one will come to worship in the future. Lin Rang will not come either.

He and Gou Er, at most, are ordinary friends, and they don't have a deep friendship, although Gou died because of him.

"You have two biggest mistakes in your life, the first is that you know me, and the second is that you are too weak. Don't think I'm going to feel guilty, a cheap dog like you, if you die, your life won't be worth much. Lin Rang muttered to himself, a stiff smile on his face.

"If you were a student of the heaven-level class, you would be fine at all, but you are not! In this life, you are a poor worm, your uncle has never even held a woman's hand, and you have really failed in life. ”

Lin Rang's breathing became a little short, and his mood was very uncalm.

He looked at the grave for a long time, then turned and walked away, and said something like this: "Go with confidence! ”

The wind whipped up several wildflowers, fluttering and covering the grave. Everything here is silent.

Gou Er, who secretly survived, no longer exists, and died a miserable and unjust death, but he himself does not seem to be wrong. Of course, if it's weak, it's wrong.

Lin Rang went back to the blacksmith shop in Iron Lane, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw that Ge Hong's face was a little unsightly.

"If you want to live, it's better not to go out of this door, outside this door, even if you die in front of me, I won't hold my hand. "Ge Hong has his own code of conduct, protecting Lin Rang, only in the blacksmith shop, and he won't care when he goes out.

Lin Rang smiled faintly: "If I die outside the door, your injuries will not be healed." ”

Ge Hong was a little dissatisfied, he hated this kind of threat, a character of his level, not only hated the threat, but was also very reluctant to accept it.

Lin Rang didn't say much to Ge Hong, returned to the bed in the room, and began to meditate, since he came to the blacksmith shop, he had not closed his eyes and slept, even if his vitality was greatly damaged.

He was worried, mainly because he was afraid that the chaotic qi would operate and replenish on its own, and the vision would attract Ge Hong's attention at that time. Attract covetousness.

He guessed that as long as he didn't sleep, then the Chaos Qi wouldn't operate autonomously. However, to heal Ge Hong's injuries, it also consumes a lot of chaotic qi. If it has not been replenished, will the chaotic qi in the body die?

Lin Rang had already felt that the chaotic qi in his chest had become thinner, and the liquid flow felt a lot weaker.

The matter must be resolved.

After healing Ge Hong's injuries for the third time, Lin Rang had to win a respite for Chaos Qi.

"The next time I heal, it's going to be three months away. Lin Rang wiped the sweat from his face, he didn't want to cure Ge Hong too quickly, because he would lose his value at that time.

"It just so happens that I have something to do and need some time. Ge Hong didn't ask why, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"You're going to go far away?" Lin Rang frowned slightly, his safety might be affected by this.

"Don't worry, the turmoil has been a lot smaller recently, and the investigation is not so strong, I will leave defensive measures, enough to protect your safety. Of course, Ge Hong didn't want Lin Rang to have an accident, otherwise the injury would not be healed.

Hearing this, Lin Rang was slightly relieved, in fact, he also hoped that he would be alone for a while, mainly because the chaotic qi would recover on its own. Then there's the practice.

He had already discovered that Ge Hong was secretly spying on his cultivation, and he could not run the Lingxi Sutra as he wanted. Once this supreme scripture is known to Ge Hong, it will be an absolute disaster.

Three days later, Ge Hong went out of the house, leaving Lin Rang with a piece of charcoal, which looked inconspicuous.

Lin Rang was immediately a little stunned, no matter how he looked at it, it was an ordinary piece of charcoal, was this fooling him?

"I sealed a real fire inside, but it can kill and turn the soul realm. When you're in trouble, just use your vitality to get on the move. can be released. "What Ge Hong left behind was a big killer. However, it can only be used once. And then there was none.

Lin Rang was a little surprised, just a real fire could suppress the Soul Realm, this Ge Hong's cultivation was a little unfathomable.

Lin Rang couldn't perceive Ge Hong's exact cultivation, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a ball of fire, and there was no aura of cultivation revealed.

After Ge Hong left, Lin Rang was much more vigilant, keeping an eye on the people passing by the blacksmith shop at any time. It's true that there are very few outsiders in Iron Lane, and it's just a dirty place. The inhabitants of the alley are not so clean, and theft and fighting go hand in hand.

Fortunately, no one had the idea of hitting the blacksmith shop, and it should be Ge Hong as a deterrent.

The chaotic qi quickly replenished itself in Lin Rang's deep sleep, and the surrounding trees withered, which caused the surprise of the residents in the alley, but they didn't care.

Trees? It's not human, it withers and withers, maybe it's some kind of insect infestation.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Lin Rang came to the blacksmith shop, and his cultivation is still in the early stage of the Spirit Realm, and he is still suppressing his cultivation, which can actually be broken through.

What he pursues is combat power, and the realm is secondary.
