Chapter 239: Unexpectedly Smooth
Lu Jian spoke in a clear manner, and first summarized the whole thing he knew in general terms, so as not to have no beginning or end, so that people could not hear the point.
He saw the boy in the green shirt turn around slowly, facing himself, his bearing was outstanding, it was difficult to describe, his hands were still behind his back, hidden in his own shadow, except for being slender, he couldn't see the jade-like feeling before, as if it was just his own illusion.
"What did he say?" Meng Qi's voice was mellow.
During this period of time, Lu Jian had already recalled this matter many times, without thinking, and replied directly: "Jin Li's sudden arrival in Wen'an is very surprising, because since inheriting the family business, there has been less contact with them who have traveled around, not only have they not seen each other for a long time, but the correspondence has also decreased due to their lack of residence. ”
"On that day, he set up a private banquet at home to entertain Jin Li, and the wine was drunk, he sighed, 'Life is in the world, it doesn't matter if you die, anyway, relatives or sorrows, others have also sang, even if relatives and friends, once things move from time, they will gradually become numb and adapt because there is no hope, and they will be freed from grief, the most afraid is that they will not see people alive, they will not see corpses when they die, relatives and friends are worried day and night, looking for clues everywhere, and they are always in sadness, eagerness and hope, and it is difficult to have a happy face'. ”
"At that time, I thought it was the emotion brought about by his adventures in the rivers and lakes and encountered certain things, and I didn't care too much about it. ”
In other words, Jin Li was not killed and disappeared due to an accident, and he had a premonition before that...... Did he deliberately leave a clue? If not, why...... Meng Qi listened quietly, and the green shirt fluttered gently with the cold wind of the winter night, setting off his deep Yuezhi: "Have you ever asked Jin Li what he meant by coming to Wen'an?"
Lu Jian sighed: "I must have asked, he said that he passed by Wen'an for something, and came to see my best friend by the way, I had no doubt at that time, and I felt that Jin Li would not deceive me in this kind of thing." I believed it directly, and only asked what it was, and he was vague, saying that it was not an important matter, so there was no need to worry, and then the topic was diverted. ”
This matter should be quite important to Jin Li, but he doesn't want others to know...... Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully: "Have you ever paid attention to Jin Li's state at that time, was he full of worries, or was he complacent, or hesitant?"
"If he looks abnormal. I noticed it a long time ago. Lu Jian smiled bitterly, and said in a deep voice, "If you say that it is different from the past, there is actually one point, Jin Li was originally clumsy in words, did not care about the short and long-term life, and devoted himself to hard work and tempering, but that day he rarely mentioned the famous heroes on the rivers and lakes, and he seemed to be quite envious. I laughed at him, saying that he had grown older and had a lot of knowledge, and he finally got the hang of it. I knew I missed a woman. ”
This kind of thing, if you are a familiar friend, anyone who encounters it will think like this, and you won't feel that Jin Li is abnormal.
Is it an entanglement in love? But what kind of love can make Jin Lisheng not see anyone. Behind Meng Qi, the water was slow, almost dry, and many large stones at the bottom of the river were exposed in the sparkling waves.
Did you fall in love with a woman you shouldn't love? Got into undeserved trouble?
"Maybe Jin Li's disappearance is related to love entanglements, please ask Brother Lu to check whether this kind of thing happened in Wen'an City before and after his disappearance. Meng Qi's tone was not hurried.
Hearing the word Brother Lu, Lu Jian was stunned, carefully looked at the young man in the green shirt in front of him, and found that he could not judge his age, he had an ancient face, a strange charm, and a mature temperament, like a master who has been famous for many years, but there is no trace of vicissitudes between his eyebrows, as if he is still very young.
"It's about Jin Li, and it's incumbent on me to do it. Lu Jian, as one of the head snakes of the land, is much more convenient and effective than Meng Qi to inquire about similar things, "By the way, I don't know what Your Excellency is called, how to give you the results after finding out?"
"Don't bother, put a few fireworks at the door and I'll ask in person. "Meng Qi has taken the fan of the mysterious master.
After speaking, he stepped out of the way, stood by the forest on the shore, looked at the flowing water with his hands, and motioned for Lu Jian to leave.
Lu Jian didn't ask much, knowing that some masters had strange tempers and refused to be asked, so he beckoned Lu Huo and the others to come over, and stepped on the stone arch bridge with a steady pace.
After crossing the bridge, he subconsciously turned around and found that the figure in the green shirt on the shore had disappeared without a trace, and he didn't even feel it!
"The Jin family actually sent such a master? Hey, before Jin Li disappeared, he wanted to ask the Jin family for attention but couldn't, until the nine orifices were barely looked down upon, and slowly approached his long-cherished wish, who knew that after the disappearance, the Jin family paid so much attention to it, and made people ......" Lu Jian sighed in his heart.
............
In the woods on the shore, the dead leaves are all over the ground, the branches are empty, Meng Qi's steps are wonderful, a few steps to the back of a big tree, where there is a Confucian book basket, on which a green cloth is supported, as if used to block the wind and rain, and there is a "wound of the sky" hidden inside.
Flowing fire is made of scales, which can be bent like a soft sword, Meng Qi bought a matching scabbard and tied it around his waist, but the "wound of the sky" is different, and there is no way to deal with it the same, either carry it on its back, or put it in a large package or book, otherwise it is easy to be recognized by people with obvious characteristics, and it loses the meaning of changing its appearance.
Before, Meng Qi took into account the image of a mysterious master, and felt that the appearance of a book in front of Lu met did not match the overall painting style, so he simply hid it in the forest and placed it in the range of his spiritual induction, standing proudly with his hands, as if he was in harmony with heaven and earth.
With the book on his back, Meng Qi ran eight or nine, and his temperament suddenly changed, although he was dressed up as a Confucian student, but there was still a clear difference, he was a mature and elegant person before, and now he was in a green shirt, full of vigor and bookishness, and strode away outside the forest.
The night was dark, and Meng Qi went directly to the only mass grave in Wen'an and took out a crimson bead.
This is an item refined by Yun Zhongzi himself, with the blood of the Jin family as bait, it can make the bones of the same bloodline produce visions within a radius of three miles, and he himself can't come, and the three blood beads are stored in the immortal trail together with the detailed information.
Meng Qi came here to find out if there was Jin Li's body in the mass grave by relying on blood beads, after all, if someone was killed, the mass grave was a very suitable place to throw the corpse, there were dead bodies hidden in many lush places with vegetation, and there were countless people who were buried in a shallow pit, and the smell filled the hills, and no one would come to see if there were any people who were killed.
Holding his breath, Meng Qi crushed the blood beads, and a red light spread around, dyeing the mass grave with a layer of bright red, which was even more eerie and bloody, and extremely terrifying.
Suddenly, a red light jumped up in the distance, as if someone was setting off fireworks.
Meng Qi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to find it so quickly and so easily.
He moved with his feet, as if not touching the dirt, and swept over the long weeds irrigated by flesh and blood, and ran to the place where the red light sprang up.
This is a particularly lush place of grass and trees, obviously there are corpses buried underneath, Meng Qi waved his right palm, and the palm wind condensed, violently lifting the grass and trees away, pushing away the soil.
The surface soil was very shallow, and after a palm, Meng Qi saw the dead body below, he had turned into white bones, there was not a trace of rotten cloth on his body, and the bones were incomplete, only a few of them.
The white bones stained with dirt are glowing with a layer of blood, revealing the identity of the owner.
At a cursory glance, there are no clues left in the shallow pit and the bones, and it seems that you have to find a master who is good at summoning souls to break through the obstacles, but Jin has been dead for many years, and I am afraid that his soul has already been scattered and cannot be summoned!
"Come out. Meng Qi suddenly spoke, and his voice spread far away in the gloomy mass grave where only dogs barked.
Boom, a figure rolled out from behind a locust tree, with a tattered felt hat and patched cotton jacket, covered in a foul smell, a beggar who had been searching for useful items on the corpse in the mass grave for a long time.
"Big, uncle, spare the little one, the little one just saw a red light coming out of here, so he came over to find out. The beggar hurriedly explained.
His face was black and full of dirt, making it impossible to tell his age, but judging from his body and voice, he was at least forty years old, and his martial arts were low.
Meng Qi, who cultivated the Dafa of Changing Heaven and Earth, was very sensitive to the changes in the mental state of others, especially when the other party's strength was far inferior to his own, and he had a sense of direct insight into his heart.
He noticed the abnormality of the beggar's feelings, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't asked yet, what are you asking for mercy? Could it be that this place has something to do with you, what have you done that cannot be told?"
"Don't you people hate prying eyes? That's why I beg for mercy. The beggar explained.
Meng Qi snorted coldly: "But I hate others to deceive me even more." ”
His eyes were sharp, piercing the beggar's eyes, making him sneer, and knelt down suddenly: "Uncle spare, the little one didn't do anything, but he just happened to know the origin of this corpse, and he came rashly after seeing the red light." ”
"Do you know where he came from?" Meng Qi frowned.
The beggar spoke very quickly: "Yes, the little ones wander around the mass graves every day, looking for valuable items, exchanging them for clothing and food, etc., so as long as there are new corpses coming, the little ones will go to see them, unless the other party is extremely skilled and can bury them unconsciously." ”
That day and night, the little hungry was wondering whether to eat a lone wild dog, and suddenly found that two family members of the Chen Mansion quietly carried the corpse up, hurriedly dug a pit and buried it and left in a hurry, and then the corpse was gnawed by the wild dogs, and after several changes, only a few bones remained. ”
"Chen Mansion?" Meng Qi asked calmly.
The beggar replied without hesitation: "Chen Changgeng Chen's Chen family." ”
How could it be them...... Meng Qi was puzzled, Chen Changgeng was also a well-known figure in the neighborhood, like a landlord who was better than a person in the rivers and lakes, and the strongest in the family was only nine tricks, how could he kill Jin Li, who had a premonition?
............
Chen's house.
Chen Changgeng hummed a little song, took his personal guard, and walked to the room where he loved the concubine the most.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he was immediately stunned, because there was a mysterious man sitting at the table with a mask on his face and wearing a black robe.
His mask is the common "Yuan Shi Tianzun", his eyes are deep, and he is staring at himself! (To be continued......)
