Volume 4: Test Feather One Hundred and Forty-Two: See Senior Brother Ma again
The night is as cool as water.
There was a lantern lantern on the stone table in Qian Chao's small courtyard, because he thought the house was a little stuffy, Qian Chao was reading the book that Senior Sister Luo gave him by the light in the courtyard, which was naturally the book that recorded Senior Sister Luo's experience in using the formation.
"Brother Qian"
As someone called him, a figure descended from the sky.
It was the same Senior Brother Ma Hu who had not been seen for a while.
After Ma Hu fell from the sky, he didn't find a stone bench to sit on, but looked at Qian Chao and was stunned for a moment.
"Huh! Senior Brother Qian, something seems wrong with you? Ma Hu looked at Qian Chao's face, and kept moving around while looking at it, looking in different directions.
This move made Qian Chao a little inexplicable: "Senior Brother Ma, what's wrong down there?" ”
"Hmm! The appearance hasn't changed at all, but it's ...... There's just something wrong! After staring at Qian Chao for a while, Ma Hu seemed to think of something, so he came over, lowered his voice and said, "Did you kill someone?" ”
Hearing this, Qian Chao was stunned, and involuntarily looked at Ma Hu.
"Sure enough, haha!"
Ma Hu saw the look in Qian Chao's eyes, and then he settled down, and sat on the stone bench.
"Tell me, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, several? When? Where? How did you get killed? ”
I don't know why, in front of this Ma Hu, Qian Chao always feels very relaxed, not to mention, this person really has a bit of eyesight.
"It can't be regarded as what we killed with our own hands, those two died in the mouth of the demon beast, well, but the reason why they have this fate has a lot to do with us, Brother Ma asked me if I killed someone, I can only say that I have broken the killing ring, but there is no blood on my hands for the time being."
Qian Chao's rhetoric Ma Hu didn't bother to listen, and then asked again: "Hmph! Kill is kill, what breaks the killing ring and there is no blood on the hands, isn't that a joke? I ask you, are you happy to kill? ”
Qian Chao smiled and shook his head, he didn't bother to fight with Ma Hu, in fact, in his opinion, Ma Hu was right, even if An Zhen and Yu Gizzard were not killed by him, there was always a little bit of blood in his hands, but he didn't want to admit it.
"How did Senior Brother Ma see that I had killed someone?" Qian Chao asked.
"Hahahaha, Senior Brother Qian, your Senior Brother Ma and I have the poison of my eyes, there are a lot of things that can be seen, a person kills or not, the aura between the eyebrows is completely different, your Senior Brother Qian used to be a bookish gas, but now, the bookish spirit still exists, but it is a little more powerful, this can only be after killing people, and it can't deceive people."
Qian Chao reached out and touched his eyebrows, and secretly said that he couldn't see it in the mirror, how could this guy see it, didn't he hear something?
"Did Senior Brother Ma hear something?"
"Humph! You still don't believe me! I've heard about some things, but it has nothing to do with you, eh, I heard that Luo Ying's mother-in-law was killing more than a dozen people outside, can you do it? Neither can you! Don't believe my eyesight, let me tell you one thing, in the early years, when I was not yet apprenticed, once I went out with a senior brother, and met a female disciple on the way to call for help, the woman looked a little human, and said that the sisters who came out together were in distress, and wanted us to help, but unfortunately, the acting was very similar, but I could see at a glance that there must be a private relationship between this woman and that senior brother, these two people knew each other but pretended not to know, and said that they wanted us to help save people, what is this, This was to lead me to a secluded place and then kill or rob me, and I didn't say a word, I turned around and fled, no matter how the two of them called behind my back and didn't look back, just run for my life, and this was a life. ”
"Oh? And what about later? Qian Chao was very surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a thing in the sect.
"Humph! Later, ha, the dog man and the woman came to me together and threatened me not to say anything, otherwise they would get rid of me, and not only that, but the woman repeatedly offered me to do this unwarranted business with them in the future. ”
"That'...... How did Senior Brother Ma find out that there was a personal affair between the two of them at that time? Qian Chao asked again.
"It's not simple, I tell you, this woman's eyes ...... In fact, it is a mouth that can speak, as long as you can understand, many things don't have to be so troublesome, although the woman looked flustered at that time, but a touch of spring in her eyes couldn't be hidden, I don't know the woman, naturally not to me, that's only the senior brother, understand? ”
"I see, teachable, teachable!" Qian Chao said with admiration.
"Well, do you know what happened to that dog man and woman?"
"Uh...... Could it be that Senior Brother Ma killed them? ”
"That's right, but that was many years later, at that time, I also apprenticed for many years, and my cultivation and means were above the two of them, so I didn't have the heart to find them, but I happened to meet them outside the sect to do things, so I came to a black ......."
At this time, Ma Hu noticed Qian Chao's eyes, understood, and continued: "When I saw them at the time, the victim had already been cut off in two and was dead, I couldn't save it even if I wanted to, but I avenged him." ”
Qian Chao shook his head, and secretly said that when he was with this Senior Brother Ma, he could always hear some things that he couldn't hear on weekdays.
"This time, what kind of blind person bumped into your hands, let me guess, the cultivation should be higher than you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to provoke a few of you."
Hearing this, Qian Chao wanted to know more about the two who died.
"Senior Brother Ma has ever heard of one named An Zhen, one named Yu Gizzard, oh, and another one, called Dong Cheng, do these three Senior Brother Ma know each other?"
"Oh! These three guys? I naturally know that the well water has never interfered with the river water, how! Did these three men find you? Ma Hu asked in surprise.
"Not bad!"
"Two dead, who died?"
"An Zhen and Yu Gizzard!"
"What about Dong Cong?"
"Alas, I couldn't bear to kill, so I let him go, but we made him unable to return to the sect from now on, and now I'm afraid he has escaped from the realm of the sect."
"Hey! You shouldn't let it go, it's a scourge to let it go, you entered the sect late, you don't know much, you haven't heard of the evil things these three people did, if you know something, you will definitely not let him go, you just feel that you can't bear to start, do you know, these three boys are a scourge everywhere, you let go, then Dong Cheng is at most going to another place to continue to do evil. ”
"Oh? What bad things have all three of them done? ”
"That's a lot...... Well, wait, no, even if you are five people, your cultivation is still not enough, and those three people are all more than 100 years of cultivation, high-level disciples of Qi refining, I am not afraid of them one-on-one, but if the three of them are together, I am afraid that they are not opponents, how did you five little guys clean them up? ”
"You forgot, one of us is the granddaughter of Elder Thompson......"
"Come less! It's okay to deceive others, if the girl surnamed Tang killed the two people with something given by her parents, then it has nothing to do with you, you were just startled at most, where did this anger come from on your face? Say, you must want to get something out of my mouth, and if you don't say it, I won't say it. ”
Qian Chao was helpless, he didn't expect this Ma Hu to be so shrewd, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Ma is really not easy to deceive!" ”
"I told you that my eyes are poisonous, come on, come on, you make it clear tonight, you ask me again, I won't hide it, come on, say it quickly!"
So Qian Chao no longer hid it, and told Ma Hu the ins and outs of this matter.
After listening, Ma Hu was stunned and didn't speak, only looked at Qian Chao.
"Senior Brother Ma?" Qian Chao saw that he didn't speak, so he opened his mouth to call him.
"Well, it's not wrong, I was cleaned up by a few of you little guys that day, and now it seems that I am really not wronged, but I always thought that you just took advantage of my exhaustion to get the hand, hey, now I think about it, thank you for not killing, haha!"
Qian Chao shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't expect this Ma Hu to think of the first thing he encountered again.
"Well, if it weren't for a few of you, if it wasn't for a few of you, if I had changed someone else, I wouldn't believe that I could defeat An Zhen and Dong Rong, a good strategy, one will trap one in one step, and in the end, only one will be left to attack again, amazing! The most powerful thing is that it happened suddenly, you don't have time to plan with each other at all, and you don't have the slightest difference step by step, Gao Ming! Alas, except for letting that Dong Gong go in the end, the whole process can be called perfect! ”
"Senior Brother Ma," Qian Chao said, "When I finally interrogated that Dong Cong, I also asked him if he knew about Senior Brother Xun's murder. ”
"Hmm!" When Ma Hu heard this, the color on his face suddenly changed, and he said eagerly, "What did he say?" ”
"He doesn't know anything, but An Zhen seems to know something, according to Dong Cheng, that An Zhen once casually said that Senior Brother Xun's death seems to be because he knows something that he shouldn't know."
"Learned something you shouldn't know!" Ma Hu repeated: "In this way, Senior Brother Xun was killed by someone, there is no doubt that he was killed!" ”
When he said this, Ma Hu's face became gloomy.
"Senior Brother Ma, Dong Rong's words have to be considered from two aspects."
"Oh, Senior Brother Qian, tell me about it."
"First of all, it was Senior Brother Xun who knew something at stake, either to his master, Elder Jin, or not to say it, but he himself knew that it was extraordinary, and then he was killed! Second, this Senior Brother Xun overheard or saw something, but he didn't know what was going on or didn't pay attention to it at all, and didn't think it was a very important thing, but others didn't think so, and the person who concealed that incident would kill him regardless of whether the other party knew about the power of that incident or not, so he attacked Senior Brother Xun. ”
"Well," Ma Hu nodded when he heard this, "The matter has been going on for so long, and Elder Jin hasn't found anything out there, except for Luo Ying, they have done something in the sect recently, but it is also stable, if so, then Senior Brother Xun should have inadvertently heard or broken something, he didn't care, but he inadvertently scared others to death, this is what he wanted to kill Senior Brother Xun, isn't that what he means?" ”
Qian Chao nodded and said, "It's very likely that this is the case." ”
"If that's the case, there's no need to go out and check, what happened before Senior Brother Xun went out for the last time I had to check it out, maybe I can find something, hum!"
"Senior Brother Ma, I have one more thing to say to you."
"Say it."
"Senior Brother Ma, that Senior Brother Xun's identity is similar to you, according to you, the cultivation is better than you, then Senior Brother Xun can encounter accidents, if you are too publicized or noticed by the other party, they dare to attack Senior Brother Xun...... Why didn't they do the same to you! ”
"Well, you're right, I went to the place where Senior Brother Xun had an accident at Guanxikou several times, maybe I have already been targeted, I will be more careful in the future, I will avenge Senior Brother Xun, I can't end up with the same fate as Senior Brother Xun, then it's not interesting."
"Maybe it's because they can't find anything out of Guanxikou, so they don't care about you and let you toss?"
"Makes sense! Eh, what should I do? ”
"Senior Brother Ma, what kind of person do you think you usually are?"
"Huh? You're ...... What do you mean? ”
"Senior Brother Ma, don't you count in your heart? Your reputation on weekdays is not very good, quite unreasonable, aggressive and easy to rob, it is a headache, I am afraid that you have not done this for a long time recently because of Senior Brother Xun's affairs, you might as well be yourself, and from tomorrow onwards, you will grab a few more people, so that people will know that Senior Brother Ma is back in the past, and it seems that you have given up investigating the death of Senior Brother Xun. Then, if you have a suspicious person, you might as well grab a handful, remember, it's convenient, don't just grab him, or find fault to repair him, well, this senior brother Ma is the best, so you don't need me to teach, maybe from the looted things or an unintentional question when repairing the person, you can see some clues from it. ”
Ma Hu listened to Qian Chao's words and looked at Qian Chao a little strangely.
"What's wrong?" Qian Chao asked.
"Humph! If you kid do evil things, you'll be a more hated guy than I am. ”
Qian Chao smiled, but soon he withdrew his smile and said: "This is actually risky, if you really want to do it, you must be fully prepared." ”
"Don't worry, I know it's amazing."
Speaking of which, Ma Hu has nothing to say, and he thinks Qian Chao's idea is good.
"Okay, Senior Brother Qian, it's time for you to ask, just say what you want to know."
Qian Chao asked some things about Dong Rong's three people, the cold water pool and the evil sword, and Han Jin's affairs, but what Ma Hu said was also something he heard from others in his daily life, although he didn't know it before, but in Qian Chao's opinion, at least it is not very useful at present, and it can only be counted as some references.
In the end, Qian Chao said, "Senior Brother Ma, you have been in the sect much longer than me, you must know some people in the sect who are well-informed, you might as well tell me the names of some people, I don't need you to introduce me to me, I will go to him myself, because this matter of Han Ji always makes me feel a little uneasy, and it is always beneficial to be well-informed in the future." ”
"Well, what's so difficult about this, come, I'll say, you'd better find a piece of paper and write it down, I know a lot of bad boys!"
