Chapter 78: The Soul Asks for His Life
Qin Bai came to the door of the Shang Mansion, only to see that the gate was closed, and there were even a lot of cobwebs on the lintel, it stands to reason that the Shang Mansion is also a big family with a head and a face in Lingzhou City, not like this, Qin Bai couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Hurriedly reached out and buckled the door, snapped a few times, no one came to open the door, and there was no movement in the door.
Seeing Qin Bai knocking on the door, there were a few pedestrians on the side of the road who stopped and pointed, and said something in their mouths, which was too far away Qin Bai couldn't hear clearly.
Qin Bai saw that someone was stopping, so he turned around and walked towards these people, wanting to ask what was going on. Who knew that when these people saw Qin Bai coming, they all hurriedly dodged away, avoiding him like a plague.
This time Qin Bai was even more curious, and walked a few steps quickly to stop an eldest lady, who knew that before Qin Bai could ask, the eldest lady waved her hand again and again: "I was just passing by, I don't know anything." He hurriedly ran away, as if he was afraid of having something to do with him.
Qin Bai seemed to find out what news from passers-by, so he found a corner where no one was around, turned over and entered the Shang Mansion.
The huge merchant mansion was deserted, the doors of the halls and halls were closed, the courtyards were overgrown with weeds, the fallen leaves were sprinkled all over the paths, the cobwebs hung on the eaves, the rats were all foraging in the corners, and a few small birds were hovering in the garden.
Obviously, the Shang Mansion has been uninhabited for a long time.
Could it be that they moved their families, or how could they have left no one behind? No, the foundation of the Shang Chamber of Commerce is in this Lingzhou City, how could they leave easily. Why is that? Could it be......
Qin Bai didn't dare to think about it and continued to walk towards the backyard.
Is that!
Bloodstain!
The cracks in the stone slabs of the garden are full of blood! Although it was washed by the rain and even deliberately washed, there were still blood stains in the cracks of the stone slabs, reddish-brown bloodstains! Obviously, it had been some time, but he couldn't hide Qin Bai's eyes.
Qin Bai continued to look forward, he deliberately paid attention to the stone cracks, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, all the stone cracks were covered with bloodstains, there used to be a river of blood here, if it was human blood, the death toll was immeasurable, could it be that the merchant Manchus were wiped out, who did they offend? It was tragically destroyed.
Don't! Is it because of yourself? If it was really because I killed the disciples of the Lingmu Sect, and the people of the Lingmu Sect couldn't catch me, and they were angry with the merchants, then I owed the merchants too much!
He wasn't sure if his reasoning was correct, he needed to verify it, and the most well-informed place was naturally the restaurant.
In Tongtian Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Lingzhou City, Qin Bai found a place by the window on the second floor and sat down, ordered some food and a pot of wine, carefully observed the crowd coming and going on the road, and listened to the conversation of the guests.
The words of a few merchants at the table who dressed up immediately attracted Qin Bai's attention.
"I pulled cloth from Jizhou all the way to Lingzhou, I wanted to make a lot of money from the Shang Chamber of Commerce, who would have thought that the business could not be done, didn't I run for nothing?"
"Brother Bai is quiet." A thin middle-aged man looked left and right, as if he was on guard against something. "Don't talk about the business anymore, you're not afraid of getting into trouble, we're still afraid."
"If you want to say that the merchant is also a famous family in Lingzhou City, who did he offend and suffered such a catastrophe, doesn't the government care?" Another chubby man asked in a low voice.
"Brother Liu doesn't know, no matter how big his merchant is, he can still be bigger than the Lingmu Sect, no matter how rich the merchant is, he is only a merchant family, the Lingmu Sect is a cultivation sect, it is a fairy-like figure, and the Lingzhou City Yamen will offend the Lingmu Sect for a merchant family?" The thin middle-aged man also lowered his voice.
This kind of voice may not be heard by others, but Qin Bai can hear it clearly.
"Smack!"
The teacup in his hand shattered at the sound of the sound, and the fragments fell to the ground. Qin Bai tried his best to control his emotions from exploding, seemingly calm on the surface, but there were already monstrous waves in his heart.
"Lingmu Sect! I, Qin Bai, want to make your entire clan pay for your blood debts. Qin Bai secretly swore in his heart.
Several people talking were startled by the sound of the cup breaking, and stopped the conversation, and a shopkeeper hurriedly ran up, apologizing and handing Qin Bai a new cup. A few people glanced at Qin Bai's side, thinking that they had accidentally broken the cup, so they didn't pay attention to it and continued to talk about the topic just now.
"The merchant is just an ordinary businessman, how could he provoke the big Buddha of the Lingmu Sect? It is said that the sect master of the Lingmu Sect is the strength of the Dadu Spirit Master, even if he arrives in Shangjing, he is a figure that can be counted. ”
Qin Bai suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to listen to the conversation of several people. "Dadu Spirit Master, it's not like I haven't killed it." A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Bai's mouth, Jiang Maling of the Sanmao tribe was killed by Qin Bai himself.
"It is said that it is because of two young people, one is called Qin Bai and the other is Jiang Yaoyao, it is said that these two killed a disciple of the Lingmu Sect, and after the disciple was killed, the Lingmu Sect Master sent the disciple to hunt down and kill these two, who knew that the skills were not as good as others, and another disciple was killed. It is said that the sect master himself failed to kill the two young men later. Just because those two people were the guests of the merchant mansion, they took all their anger out on the merchant. In the future, we will not talk about these things, lest we also be silenced. The thin middle-aged man said and gestured with his hand around his neck. The other two were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.
After hearing these words, Qin Bai's guilt arose spontaneously, it turned out that he had involved Shang Jiuying's family, and he and Jiang Yaoyao left, but he didn't expect the Lingmu Sect to be so indistinguishable from right and wrong, killing people like hemp.
Could it be that the lives of ordinary people are like ants in the eyes of the soul crosser? Qin Bai knew the truth about the merchant's annihilation, he would not leave here, he would let the Lingmu Sect bury them with them.
Qin Bai was about to get up and leave, when suddenly his gaze swept across the street. Two silver-clad young men walked down the street, embroidered with a tree pattern on the cuffs of their clothes.
How could he not know this clothes, there were already three disciples of the Lingmu Sect who died in his hands, and each of them was wearing this kind of clothes.
"Lingmu Sect!" Qin Bai's eyes showed murderous aura, and after throwing a few Huaxia coins on the table, he jumped directly from the second floor and went straight to the two of the Lingmu Sect.
There were many disciples of the Lingmu Sect who chased and killed Qin Bai that time, but there were not many people who had really seen Qin Bai's appearance, and those who saw Qin Bai's appearance had all been killed by Qin Bai, except for Hua Lei, ordinary disciples didn't know Qin Bai's appearance at all.
Qin Bai wore a veil on his head, deliberately covering his appearance, making it difficult for people to see it.
Walking in front of the two, Qin Bai suddenly shouted loudly: "The soul of the Shang Mansion has come to ask for your life!" ”
Qin Bai's body shape was very similar to Shang Jiuying, tall, short, fat and thin, and when he suddenly heard such a voice in broad daylight, ordinary people had already been frightened by the six gods and no master, and they scattered in a panic.
But it is impossible to use this reason to deceive the battle-hardened soul crosser.
One of the silver-clothed young men said: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, I didn't expect the merchant to have remnants, don't leave alive when you meet us." "Looking at Qin Bai from above, the talisman in his hand was sacrificed." It's strange that you are also surnamed Shang. ”
At this time, Qin Bai moved! A male lion phantom reappeared behind him, and appeared next to the two of them with a whoosh, and the two of them had just stepped into the level of a spirit crosser, and they didn't have time to react at all, so they were grabbed by Qin Bai with one hand, and the lion in both hands surged with strength, grabbing the two heads and crashing together.
With a "poof", the two heads deflated, the red and white streamed to the ground, and the two corpses collapsed limply on the ground.
Qin Bai dipped his clothes with some blood, and wrote the four big characters "Wronged Soul Seeking Life" on the ground.
"Haunted!"
"Shang Jiuying's soul has come to ask for his life!"
The crowd on the street dispersed in a hurry, and in an instant it became deserted, leaving only two corpses lying on the street.
And Qin Bai, who easily eliminated the two disciples of the Spirit Wood Sect, disappeared from everyone's sight.
In fact, Qin Bai did not go far, but quietly lurked in Lingzhou City, although his strength has greatly improved, he is not arrogant enough to kill the Lingmu Sect's lair directly.
He had to make a careful plan to break them down one by one.
