Chapter 24: Changing Faces
An Zheng returned to the Nanshan Street Tavern alone to find Aunt Ye, and Du Shou and Zhong Jiuge didn't know about it.
After An Zheng came back, he always had some doubts in his heart, why he didn't encounter any danger at all. He used to be the head of the Ming Law Division of the Daxi Dynasty, how many dangers had he experienced? Therefore, he knew very well that Nanshan Street would not be peaceful after Chen Pu died that night. If you go back, you will be in danger seven or eight times out of ten. That's why he went to find Aunt Ye alone, planning to wait until he succeeded, and then tell Du Shousian, if he didn't succeed, he wouldn't mention this matter again.
But that night, Nanshan Street was surprisingly calm.
An Zheng would not have known that a scholar in cloth appeared before him that night, and killed two hundred and seventy-nine bandits on the street by himself. Just walking on the street, pointing at will, and killing everywhere. Those four people have the Chen family, some of them are from Dakoutang, and some of them are from other forces who want to take advantage of the situation. But there was not a drop of blood left on that street, and the scholar killed people and never shed blood. When An Zheng walked through Nanshan Street, he looked into every small alley he passed, but he couldn't see that there were corpses piled up under the deepest corners of the alley.
An Zheng squatted on the branch of the tree in contemplation, and Du squatted on his side and shook his ass.
"What are you doing?"
Du asked thinly.
An Zheng replied: "Think about where we should go, if Aunt Ye refuses to help wash the marrow for us, we won't be able to enter any sect." ”
He looked at Du Thin, who was shaking his buttocks: "What are you doing?"
Du stretched his waist: "In the past, when I woke up every morning, the first thing I did was to go to the toilet and squat for a while. I didn't eat anything yesterday, so I didn't pull the habitual squatting anymore. ”
An Zheng asked again: "Then you squat, squat, what are you doing?"
Zhong Jiuge leaned on the trunk of the tree on one side, closed his eyes and replied: "You don't know about Anye, of course you have to shake it off after squatting."
An Zheng sighed lightly, and said in his heart that the hearts of these two people are really big.
"Anzheng, let me ask you a question. ”
Du sat down on the branch, which shook violently. An Zheng squatted there, like a small boat floating on the sea.
Say. ”
"Have you ever had a girl you like?"
"Nope. ”
"Why?"
An Zheng glanced at Du Slender and thin: "There aren't many school-age children in Nanshan Street, right? Even if there are, girls don't run around on the street." You're only ten years old, and you're thinking about things all day. ”
Du slender: "My ideal in life is to find a beautiful woman to be a mother-in-law." There are at least a dozen storefronts on Nanshan Street, and every day when I wake up, I count the money. I opened the door in the morning and walked down the street holding my wife's hand, and everyone envied my happy life. She twisted her thin waist and big ass, and I helped her hold it. ”
Zhong Jiuge still closed his eyes and spoke: "You are so ugly, why do beautiful girls want to follow you." ”
Du Thin: "You see that most of the people who hang out with beautiful women on the street are ugly men, ugly and fat men. So I'm going to do the same, because I'm uglier than them. ”
Zhong Jiu Ge picked his thumb, and then suddenly opened his eyes: "Big beauty." ”
Du pouted: "Are you dreaming?"
Then he saw that An Zheng's eyes were also looking ahead, and there was some vigilance and confusion in his eyes. Following An Zheng's line of sight, Du saw the big beauty that made many men on Nanshan Street fascinated, the owner of the tavern, Aunt Ye. Today, Aunt Ye wore a long yellow dress, which gave her a little more youthful atmosphere. This is a strange woman, and her temperament will change depending on the clothes she wears.
Aunt Ye raised her head and looked at An Zheng and the three of them, and then asked, "What are you doing squatting on the branches early in the morning?"
Du Slender was about to open his mouth, but An Zheng blocked his mouth, lest Du Slender and Thin sincerely say what he said about shaking his ass.
"We're waiting for the sun to shine in the sky, and then we'll say to you Auntie early. ”
An Zheng smiled hippie, but there was a worry in his heart. He went to the tavern last night, but didn't knock. He left a small package outside the tavern, and he was not afraid that someone else would take it away, because he felt the murderous aura in the house. At that time, Aunt Ye had the intention of killing, and now she was looking for it again, and An Zheng was not sure what Aunt Ye's purpose was.
An Zheng was a little more vigilant about Aunt Ye, how could Aunt Ye not be like this. Mu Changyan said that An Zheng's origin was unknown, which also made Aunt Ye relieved, why when she saw this teenager for the first time, she felt that there was something in this teenager's eyes that did not belong to the young man.
"Talk, seriously. ”
After Mrs. Ye threw down this sentence, she turned around and left, and An Zheng jumped down from the branch and followed him. Du Shou watched the two of them leave one after the other, and said with some regret: "This woman is not simple, and I don't know if An Zheng can handle it." ”
Zhong Jiuge: "Stinky rascal." ”
Du was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why Zhong Jiuge scolded himself for being a stinky hooligan.
Aunt Ye walked in front, and An Zheng followed behind. The two of them kept that distance at all times, and their steps remained the same. It was the first time for Aunt Ye to feel this kind of caution in a young man, so she believed Mu Changyan's guess a little more.
After walking into the depths of the mountain forest, Aunt Ye turned around and said, "I'm a little interested in your origin, after all, it is impossible for an orphan from Nanshan Street to write such exercises." But I won't ask, because everyone has their own secrets. It's as if you ask me for something, but you don't ask me why I'm hiding my cultivation. I didn't treat you like a child, so you don't have to pretend to be a child to let me down my guard and be honest with each other. ”
An Zheng smiled, revealing his white teeth, and the smile was harmless to humans and animals: "You say." ”
Aunt Ye said: "Then it's simple and direct, do you want to ask me to wash your marrow?"
An Zheng shook his head: "It's not me, it's us." ”
Aunt Ye: "Two people? Then if you pay for that exercise, it's not enough." ”
An argued, "I can write another copy." ”
Aunt Ye said: "There is no need, although that high-level exercise is suitable for the physique of the Seven Dao, he is so small after all, and he may not be able to use it in another ten years." I plan to send Xiao Qidao to the Phantom Academy, after I wash your marrow, you have to help me protect him and take care of him, and I will find a way to let you also enter the Phantom Academy. In addition, they are taken care of in a way that ordinary academy disciples do not get. ”
An Zheng didn't doubt it, because he knew that Aunt Ye must have a very good background.
It's a deal, so there's nothing wrong with talking about it. And for everything in the Phantom Academy, Aunt Ye was actually not too worried in her heart. The Illusory World Academy is Mu Changyan's, and she can trust him.
And just when An Zheng and Aunt Ye were talking about this, in the dilapidated courtyard of the Chen family, a teenager came out of the rockery in the backyard. Few people know that there is a secret passage in the rockery in the backyard of the Chen family, which leads directly to the secret room. And all the real treasures of the Chen family are hidden in the secret room. After Chen Pu's plan was successful, the first thing he did was to send his son Chen Qi into the secret room, leaving most of his subordinates there to protect Chen Qi secretly, otherwise he would not appear alone in An Zheng's small courtyard.
Outsiders don't know how big the Chen family is. But Chen Pu has worked hard for the Chen family for so many years, and he knows how many good things the Chen family has. The things in the secret room were much better than the things that Zhong Jiuge took away from the warehouse by pretending to be Chen Pu.
Chen Qi carried a very large package on his back, and then beckoned, and the dead soldiers that Chen Pu had cultivated over the years swept over from all around, waiting for Chen Qi's order.
"Take me to see the Ninth Master of the Ghost Hand. ”
Chen Qi only said two sentences, the second sentence was: "Tell me in detail about my father's death on the way." ”
There are all kinds of people in the city of the Phantom World, and most of them come here for the same reason. Either because they were hunted down, or for some other reason, they were cornered. And the Chen family has been attracting people who can be used all these years, and the Ghost Hand Nine Master is one of them. There was a roster in the package that Chen Qi was carrying at this time, which recorded the strange people on Nanshan Street that the Chen family had controlled over the years.
With this roster, Chen Qi is like getting a huge network of contacts. The real inheritance of the Chen family can be regarded as falling into his hands.
Chen Pu's henchman Deng Ba carried Chen Qi and flew outside, and said as he ran: "Young master, the master should have died in the house of the child named An Zheng." Our people were looking for the body, but there was a force that we didn't know about for the time being, so it didn't go very well. We need to hide ourselves now, and then think about revenge. Moreover, young master, everyone in Nanshan Street knows your appearance, so you have to be more careful, there are not a few people who covet the treasures of the Chen family. ”
Chen Qi nodded: "Uncle Deng, I know how to do it, that's why I asked you to take me to the Ninth Master of the Ghost Hand." ”
Deng Ba's face was a little sad, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Young Master, then you are another person, another identity." ”
Chen Qi snorted: "It's just a name, it's not a big deal." As long as I can avenge my father, it doesn't matter if I have the same surname as the enemy. Besides, it's not just about revenge now. Father has handed you over to me, and he has given me to you, and if we fail to live up to my father's hopes, then what face will we have to live? We must become the most powerful force in the Illusory World, and let everyone kneel at my feet. ”
Deng said: "Young master, don't worry, your subordinates will protect you even if they die." ”
The group walked quickly through the alley, and then stopped outside the door of a small inconspicuous courtyard.
Chen Qi came down at the gate of the courtyard, then tidied up his clothes, walked to the Chai Gate and stopped, cleared his throat and said, "Senior Chen Qi, ask to see the Ninth Master." ”
The door creaked open, and a thin old man with a rosacea nose and red eyes stood there, squinting at Chen Qi: "People from the Chen family?"
"The juniors are, the juniors have encountered some trouble, so they want to take back some favors from the ninth master. ”
"Where's the stuff?"
The old man asked.
Chen Qi took out a jade plaque from his arms and shook it: "The Chen family's doorman order, the ninth master should know it." ”
The old man snorted, then turned around and walked inside: "Is the Chen family going to be finished, leaving a half-old child like you to take charge." ”
Chen Qi followed behind, and said as he walked: "Senior, you don't need to care so much, just do what you should do." ”
The old man's footsteps paused, and then said coldly: "You are right, I owe you the favor of the Chen family, and if you pay it back, you shouldn't talk more." ”
"Say what you want to do. ”
The old man asked.
Chen Qi pointed to his soft arm: "Help me restore this arm." ”
The old man looked at Chen Qi's arm and shook his head: "I can't recover, my tendons are broken, and the injury has been a little long, if only I came a day earlier." ”
Chen Qi asked, "How can I use this arm?"
The old man replied, "Tear it down, replace it." ”
Chen Qi frowned, pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then dismantle it and replace it." ”
The old man asked, "Aren't you afraid of pain?"
Chen Qi sneered: "It's distressing, so I'm not afraid of other pains." ”
The old man's face changed, and then he sighed: "Changing arms, it's not as simple as you think, you need at least three medium-grade spirit stones, and you also need a fresh arm that has just been cut off, and the owner of this arm must have a bloodline similar to yours." ”
Chen Qi looked back at Deng Ba: "Go find some arms of children of the same age as me, the more the better." If you really can't do it, just cut it from the older ones, be fast, I can't wait. ”
Deng Ba nodded: "The subordinates will do it, even if the arms of the children on Nanshan Street are chopped off, the subordinates will go to other places to cut them." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Chen Qi was silent for a while and then said, "Help me change my face again." ”
