Volume 1: Illuminating Mountains and Rivers Chapter 99 The dust has settled
"Can you get her out of here after I'm dead?"
Shen Lang sighed faintly.
He can not care about his life and death, three hundred years of suffering and torture, maybe death is more like a relief for him, not to mention that even if there is no external interference, with his current condition, there are only one or two hours left to live at most.
But he couldn't let go of Su Hongzhu, and he didn't want the other party to suffer any more tragic things because of himself.
"Impossible."
However, Xu Lin on the side shook his head and said, "Afterwards, I will escort her to the prison of Mingjian Division."
And if Su Hongzhu resisted, he would not hesitate to strike and kill him under the blade.
After the death of Shen Lang, the culprit, not everything will disappear, and someone will always have to carry this disaster.
Although Su Hongzhu is not the mastermind and is not an accomplice, after all, the matter started because of her, and it will definitely fall because of her, otherwise how can she be worthy of the innocent people who died?
After all, this cause and effect needs to be borne by someone.
If Su Hongzhu is not escorted back, under the anger of the imperial court, I don't know how many people with ill intentions will take this opportunity to secretly harm their old enemies on weekdays.
This disaster has killed too many people, and the entire city of Qianyu is filled with blood, so don't let anyone who has nothing to do with this matter be raided and destroyed in the midst of grievances.
Hearing this, Shen Lang's eyes darkened, and he naturally knew the reason, but although he was unwilling in his heart, he was powerless to change anything.
"Let's do it."
He whispered, and turned his gaze to look at the woman beside him lovingly.
Even if he is already a pink skeleton under the blindfold, he can't give birth to anything unusual in his heart, and the love that has been accumulated for three hundred years is always so pure.
"Don't!"
Su Hongzhu shook his head and looked at Ji Yuan pleadingly: "He has run out of oil and the lamp has run out, and he can only live for another hour or two at most, why can't he even wait for this little time?"
It's just an hour or two, and it's long or long, it's not short, it's not short.
And in her opinion, Shen Lang has run out of oil, and at this moment, even a child can endanger his name, and there is no way to hide it.
Why can't you wait and kill him immediately?
"Every time he lives, to the innocent people who die...... It's not fair."
Ji Yuan said in a deep voice, if he could, he didn't want to kill his former friend like this.
It's just that Shen Lang has done so many evil things, I don't know how many innocent people have lost their lives directly or indirectly because of him.
Since the evil cause is planted, it is natural to bear the evil consequences that follow.
"I ......"
Su Hongzhu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to continue pleading.
However, she had barely said a word when an afterimage passed by in the corner of her eye.
In his sight, a white jade flying sword swept by, submerged into the young man's eyebrows, and the sound of falling to the ground was heard in his ears at the right time, and the familiar aura in his memory suddenly disappeared.
Su Hongzhu's eyes were dull, kneeling in place for a long time without moving, even if it was already sad, but there was not a trace of tears in his eyes.
After all, at this time, she was no longer Su Rou of three hundred years ago, and now she was just a pink skeleton.
In a miserable smile, the blinding method on her body dissipated silently, revealing a true body of white bones, which was covered with wisps of flesh and blood, and the crystal bones contained a huge amount of blood and vitality.
"I advise you not to think about the burning of jade."
When the white and crystalline finger bones moved slightly, Ji Yuan's voice suddenly sounded.
He looked at Su Hongzhu, who had removed his blindness, and said with a sigh in his voice, "Shen Lang...... He endured three hundred years of pain, and he persevered for so many years before you turned into a pink skeleton and reappeared in the world."
"If you still have the feelings for him in your memory, take his thoughts and love with you and live as much as you can."
Once he is imprisoned in the Ming Jian Division, he will inevitably endure countless pains and
Torture, all this should be regarded as paying for some sins owed.
Although today's disaster was not caused by Su Hongzhu, it is inseparable from her, and there is a sin in the dark, which will be counted on her head.
But fortunately, the laws of the Dayu Dynasty are not blindly iron-blooded and ruthless, and there have been many similar things since the founding of the country hundreds of years ago.
Among them, there are many ghosts, after washing away the sins on their bodies, they will be under the supervision of the imperial court, or become a god of mountains and rivers, shelter the people of a certain place to repay the cause and effect, or join a government similar to the Ming Jian Division, and move around to calm the movement. chaos, so as to accumulate some merit.
Therefore, what awaits Su Hongzhu in the future is not necessarily a lost soul, but may also be a long road to repay the consequences of redeeming one's own sins.
But in the end, there is still some hope, so that the man's three hundred years of hardship will only be short-lived.
"Heaven is selfless and selfless, but there is a glimmer of room for all things, if you can one day condense the golden body of merit, maybe you may use this to God in exchange for the opportunity for him to reincarnate a little true spirit."
After thinking about it, Ji Yuan couldn't help but tell a white lie.
In the final analysis, Su Hongzhu herself is not wrong, she was originally a poor woman, and after she was killed, she was revived by her beloved man with a secret method of demon path that violated the rules of heaven and earth and harmed others.
In the final analysis, Shen Lang is the only one who is wrong.
Hearing this, Su Hongzhu raised his head suddenly, re-transformed into a human form with a blind eye, and then looked at Ji Yuan expectantly.
After seeing the other party nodding her head, she suddenly smiled, and there was no charm between her eyebrows, only brightness and sunshine.
At this moment, it seemed that even the cold ghost aura on Su Hongzhu's body had weakened a lot invisibly.
Bang!!!
Suddenly, the black and gray light curtain in the sky collapsed, disintegrating on its own after the main array of people fell.
Although it was less than a day, everyone felt that the sunshine on their bodies was a feeling that they had not seen for a long time.
A wave of exhaustion was also quietly occupying their minds, hovering between life and death several times, and suddenly they relaxed, even if they were already entering the monks, they still couldn't help but want to fall asleep.
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, and countless shouts could be faintly heard.
Ji Yuan and the others subconsciously turned around to look, and immediately saw the street corner in the distance, and suddenly a dense figure appeared, just a rough calculation, at least two hundred people.
And the leader is Liu Hongsheng, who has been missing for a long time, served as the head of the Qianyucheng County Ya General Catcher, and once had the name of a hero.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan still didn't understand, the other party saw that the overall situation had been decided, the opponent had been ambushed, and he wanted to pick peaches after he was in danger.
And the county government and the officers and soldiers guarding the city no longer exist because of Shen Lang's plan, and there is no official family here, so the credit for calming the chaos and saving the people of a city will naturally fall on him.
After all, what kind of experience is it, and in the end, it is not a mouth that allows this chief catcher to say whatever he wants.
At best, to share a little hard work and ask for a little reward and reward from the imperial court, it can be regarded as giving them a little explanation for those who really contribute.
Even if you are unconvinced, and even go to the county town or even the state capital to sue, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
Who let them just be a cloth cloth, even if they have cultivation, they are not official family members after all.
Even more than 20 zhang away, Ji Yuan seemed to be able to see the joy on the face of the chief catcher.
"In vain."
He shook his head, suddenly feeling bored.
Gangs like the Three Knife Society can do not hesitate to spill their blood for the sake of the people they know each other on weekdays, and since they have collected the protection money from the people, even in the face of the situation of almost certain death, they will resolutely move forward.
And this chief catcher, who is famous for hundreds of miles of rivers and lakes, disappeared at the moment of real crisis, and after all the dust settled, he came belatedly with a group of small gang members who had gathered in.
However, when he thought of the few catchers who escorted the wounded away, he suddenly felt that the world was not really boring, there was Liu Hongsheng, who was famous and famous, but actually speculated, and there were unknown small catchers who were not afraid of death even though their martial arts were low.
Qiang !!
Just as he sighed, a flash of knife light suddenly swept out, falling in front of Liu Hongsheng, who had already advanced to a few feet away, and cut a deep scar of knife qi on the ground.
"The Ming Jian Division is handling the case, if no one dares to approach...... Kill!"
Xu Lin held his head high, and after collecting the knife, he took out a token, and the front was engraved with the three big characters of Mingjian Division.
This token has the right to kill and kill, and in case of emergency, it can even be used to dispatch no more than 500 soldiers in the garrison barracks.
"In Xia Liu Hongsheng, the chief catcher of Qianyu City, specially brought a group of heroes from the rivers and lakes to come here to kill demons."
The middle-aged man with a heroic face clenched his fists, saying that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and even had a bit of generosity in his words.
It's just who is Xu Lin?
In the Mingjian Division, he is a second-class knife holder, don't look at the age of only his early twenties, but he is already full of rivers and lakes, walking the world for nearly ten years, what kind of person has not seen it?
With just a glance, he could already see what Liu Hongsheng was thinking, otherwise he would not have swung that knife before, blocking the progress of these people.
So after hearing this, Xu Lin just said one word coldly: "Get out!"
It was just one word, but the murderous aura contained in it shocked dozens of gang members, Qi Qi's face changed, and then he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Even Liu Hongsheng was shocked by such a chilling murderous aura, and his qi trembled, and his face turned a little pale.
He wanted to say something more, but when he saw the murderous aura in the other party's eyes and the Mingjian Division waist card in his hand, the momentum on his body couldn't help but weaken a little, and then he leaked to the end.
"Since it is a colleague of the Mingjian Division, I will lead people to martial law around to prevent the young people or ordinary people from breaking in!"
Although his face was a little unbearable, he still reached out and clenched his fists, but he said something about the scene.
However, Xu Lin didn't look at him, turned around and walked to Su Hongzhu's side, and then took out a silver bracelet from his arms.
This bracelet is covered in bright silver, which seems to be made of gold and iron, and it is densely engraved with runes, and there is a touch of spiritual light circulating on its surface, which is actually a good magic weapon.
"Take it."
He threw the bracelet to Su Hongzhu, and then said in a cold tone.
Hearing this, the latter picked up the bracelet that had fallen in front of him, and without a trace of hesitation in silence, he kept it on the wrist of his right hand.
As soon as she took it, countless runes suddenly spread out from the bracelet, and through the blinding method on the surface of her body, they were imprinted on the white bones of her real body.
This is the lock demon ring of the Ming Jian Division, once it is worn, if there is no specific formula, unless you have a golden pill cultivation, it will definitely not be broken.
And the knife holder holding the bracelet can imprison the cultivation and physical strength of the wearer with a single thought, and can directly disperse the soul of the opponent after casting the secret method.
After seeing Su Hongzhu wearing the lock demon ring, Xu Lin nodded with a little satisfaction, and then slowly walked to Ji Yuan on the side.
Looking at the little Taoist priest in front of him, he was also full of emotion in his heart for a while, who would have thought that a little monk in the first realm could have such a vision, so many and so heavy sword qi gathered into a river, even the monk of the second realm with a magic weapon could defeat it.
No matter what Shen Lang's condition was at that time, after casting the secret method, he was a real second-realm strength, plus a complete magic weapon, even he was not completely sure that he could defeat him in this situation.
This alone is enough to win his respect, but what really makes him admire from the bottom of his heart is that Ji Yuan was bewitched by the demons, and he was able to smoothly condense a Dao heart just by listening to the words of others.
Don't look at this Dao Heart, it can't increase the cultivator's cultivation or increase its magic and other powers, but it is an opportunity to involve the root of the Great Dao.
Some of the three realms
Monks, until the three hundred years of longevity are exhausted, they are still unable to condense their Dao heart, which shows its preciousness.
And Xu Lin even knew that a Dao heart, whether it was for a martial artist or a monk, was the key to the future advancement of the Great Dao, and if he wanted to form a golden pill or a true body, he had to have it!
"The affairs of this place will be handed over to you, even if you take the credit or something, I don't wait for the officialdom, and it is useless to take it."
Ji Yuan saw that the other party was groaning, and even if he guessed what he was thinking, he smiled and said, "It's just that the credit will be taken, but some benefits must not be missing, otherwise we people will not let you go easily."
Hearing such a painless threat, the coldness on Xu Lin's face couldn't help but decrease a little, and after laughing, he solemnly promised that there would be a lot of benefits, and even if he went bankrupt and exhausted his family funds afterwards, he would send them one by one.
It's just that you have to wait for a month or two, after all, the scale of this disaster is not small, affecting an entire county, and the impact will spread to a county after the fact.
I don't know how many people will be implicated for no reason because of this.
It's just that these have nothing to do with Xu Lin, the Ming Jian Division to which he belongs is in the imperial court, and it can be said that he claims to be another system, which is involved in officialdom, but will not be affected by officialdom.
In this way, it is guaranteed that it will only take about a month to finalize the merits and benefits.
"Look at it, I won't leave Qianyu City anytime soon, anyway."
Ji Yuan shrugged his shoulders and returned his hand to put the long sword into the scabbard.
He didn't worry that the other party wouldn't admit it if he took the credit, after all, if he could run, the monk couldn't run the temple, so he would go to the Mingjian Division in the county town for a trip.
As for the rest of the people here, there is no objection to his decision, as he said, everyone present is not involved in officialdom, what is the use of asking for this credit, it is better to have more benefits than real benefits.
"Since there is nothing serious, I will leave first."
Ji Yuan looked around, and finally took a deep look at Shen Lang's corpse.
He sighed, and then said to Jiang He, "Let those catchers come soon, Xu Daoyou is not familiar with this place, and there will be a few people to fight after all."
When Jiang He heard this, he immediately shouted, "Okay!"
In this regard, Xu Lin didn't say anything, although he knew that the other party's move was to give some credit to those few catchers, but he did need manpower.
After a while, after confirming that it was indeed fine, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the fifth senior brother beside him.
"Brother?"
Guo Tao looked puzzled, thinking that Ji Yuan had something to order, but he suddenly smiled.
"Senior brother, take it, I seem to be fainting......
He smiled and said, but halfway through his words, he rolled his eyes and fainted, and his body fell straight back.
