Chapter 63: There Are Ghosts
Click!
Suddenly, the sound of very light footsteps sounded from the depths of the wind and snow.
Wei Tao stopped suddenly, one hand still tugging at Zhao Yi's ankle, and turned to look there.
The footsteps are fast fading away.
His complexion changed suddenly, and he rolled up a shower of snowflakes and chased after him.
After a few breaths.
A tall, thin man with a scimitar on his waist stopped at the end of the alley and turned to look back.
"Do you know, I'm ......," he said, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, to Wei Tao.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a black shadow broke through the sky, pierced through the snow, and smashed down on him.
The man's face changed, and he took a few sharp steps back, avoiding the impact of the black shadow.
He didn't go with the knife.
I don't dare to go out of the knife.
Because the black shadow that flew in was not the person, but the corpse that was thrown by it.
If it was the corpse of other ordinary people, he could still ignore it.
This corpse is a child of the Zhao family among the five surnames in the inner city.
Although the person is already dead, if there is an extra stab wound on the corpse......
He is just dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering,
A lump of yellow mud falls off the crotch of his pants, not but either.
After all, in the entire outer city, there are many people who play with knives, but there are not many who can use scimitars.
With a scimitar, there are only a handful of people who can kill Zhao Yi in the inner city.
As the hall master of the Hidden Knife Society, he is definitely the object of suspicion.
Boom!
Zhao You's body fell to the ground.
A flutter of snowflakes.
The Hidden Knife Hall Master had just stood still.
It was dark again.
A figure roared in, wrapped in a rich smell of blood.
"You ......"
He raised his hand to draw his sword.
But it was too late.
Several iron nails shot first, piercing his wrists.
Under the pain, he couldn't help but slow down.
Immediately afterwards, he was punched in the temple, and there was a muffled bang.
Wei Tao staggered to the ground, pulled out the shiny scimitar, and wiped his backhand over the neck of its original owner.
The mouth of the Lord of the Hidden Knife Hall snorted,
I couldn't close my eyes until I died.
Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity,
Raise your hand to wipe the fine sweat from your forehead.
His hands and legs were trembling slightly,
It's on the verge of exhaustion.
The whole body is steaming hot,
It's like a humanoid boiler.
From the beginning of the alley chase, to the hand-to-hand fall into the downwind, to the back of the entanglement, and then to the outbreak of killing,
Until the final long-distance pursuit, throwing corpses and killing people, the consumption of this night battle has almost reached his limit.
Gasping for breath, Wei Tao didn't dare to stay here longer, gritted his teeth and dragged up the two corpses, and walked quickly in the direction away from the inner city.
A quarter of an hour later.
The head of the Qingdao Association had a complicated expression, commanded his henchmen to dispose of the corpse, and hurriedly let Wei Tao into the room and sit down.
He didn't expect that this god-killing figure in his mind would be so tired that he would be close to losing his strength.
It can be seen how fierce and dangerous the battle just described in a few words is really fierce.
After drinking a few cups of hot tea, Wei Tao finally calmed down his breathing.
But his hands and legs were still trembling uncontrollably.
He slowly turned his qi and blood, closed his eyes and retraced the battle tonight.
Even for him, it was indeed very difficult, and it was accompanied by great danger.
However, in the word crisis, there is a danger and there is an opportunity.
There are also opportunities in danger.
The biggest gain tonight is the oppression of the pair of strong brothers.
Especially the two of them have their fists and feet together, and the way they play into a net has deeply stimulated him.
Let him gradually integrate the red line fist and the piercing leg under tremendous pressure, and it is no longer the previous situation of fighting separately.
This is a huge step forward.
He still remembered that not long after he apprenticed, Peng Yue said more than once that only real combat is the fastest way to improve his strength.
has not experienced a confrontation with the purpose of killing, and no matter how deep the boxing study is, it is just a flashy empty shelf.
From the official introduction to the present, from Wang Yingxue to Chen Chengshan, and then to the inner city master he met tonight.
After a life-and-death struggle, he really benefited a lot.
The mastery of boxing and leg techniques has improved by leaps and bounds.
All kinds of moves are seamlessly integrated, and they are easy to come by, and even begin to faintly imprint their own understanding and perception.
There was a soft squeak.
The door was pushed open.
Shi Huishou came in from the outside and shook off the snowflakes on his body.
"Childe, the two corpses in that dark alley have also been disposed of, and the bag of meat has also been brought back."
Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes, "Have you cleaned up the iron nails, daggers and darts that fell to the ground?" ”
Shi Hui said, "Childe, rest assured, except for the collapsed stone walls and houses that are difficult to recover, everything else has been cleaned, and it is difficult for anyone to find any clues." ”
"Well done." Wei Tao nodded, and raised his hand a little tiredly, "I'll rest here today, if there is nothing else, let the gathered brothers disperse." ”
Shi Huishou was just about to go out, when he suddenly remembered another thing.
Then he turned around, "There is another situation that needs to be reported to the childe." ”
"You say." Wei Tao closed his eyes and recuperated, and the surface of his body was still steaming.
"The Iron Leg Faction caught fire last night, Childe should already know."
"Yes." Wei Tao nodded, "Talk about the point." ”
Shi Hui said, "When we monitored Chen Chengshan before, the manpower we arranged did not evacuate, in order to continue to monitor the movements of the Iron Leg Faction and prevent them from suddenly and abnormally moving. ”
Wei Tao opened his eyes, "So, what did you find?" ”
Shi Huishou nodded, "When the fire broke out, a brother hiding on the roof of a nearby building saw that a woman in white clothes and white skirt killed the leader of the Iron Leg Sect, Lu Yi, and injured him.
After that, another man in white robe appeared and went on a killing spree against the disciples of the Iron Legs Sect. ”
"Did he see clearly what those two people looked like?"
"The distance is a bit far, and at most you can roughly distinguish between men and women, and this is because of the firelight."
"I see." Wei Tao thought for a moment, "White clothes, white skirts, white robes, this matter may not be as simple as vendetta, don't investigate it, let those people hide for a while." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I arranged for them to hide last night."
"Okay, wait for me to rest for two days and see them in person."
Wei Tao closed his eyes again, "After a while, ask someone to stew that bag of meat, and the medicinal herbs will use the recipe I gave you last time." ”
"I'll go down and make arrangements." Shi Hui turned off the lights and closed the door lightly.
……………………
The snow fell for two days in a row.
The entire Cangyuan City is covered in silver,
Everywhere there was a sheer white.
Wei Tao came out of the martial arts hall and strolled towards his home on Yufang Street.
More than 30 catties of black pork, supplemented by various medicinal materials, not only replenished the qi and blood consumed in that night battle after eating, but even the physical condition was better than before.
He was thinking about going home for something to eat in the evening.
Suddenly, a man in Tsing Yi walked out of the shadows, passed by Wei Tao, and quickly disappeared into the night.
At the next intersection, Wei Tao chose the opposite direction from home, braving the increasing wind and snow, walking along the long street, and finally stopped outside the door of a closed restaurant.
Squeak.
A crack was opened in the door panel.
Wei Tao dodged in, and then went up to the second floor under the guidance of an oil lamp.
Came to a private room with a black cloth on the window.
"Wei Gongzi."
There were already people waiting in the box.
Wei Tao took off his hat, patted off the snowflakes on his clothes, and sat down opposite.
"Shi Huishou, why did you meet so mysteriously?"
"Childe, something happened." The stone meeting has a quiet gaze, like a deep pool under the reflection of oil lamps.
"What's going on?" Wei Tao asked.
There was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the box.
A moment later, the man in black who had just met on the street came in,
He put a few side dishes and a pot of soju on the table, and withdrew without saying a word.
Shi Huishou poured two glasses of wine, drank his own cup first, and then said, "Those brothers, all missing. ”
Wei Tao didn't drink, just slowly turned the cold porcelain cup, thought about it and said slowly, "What are you talking about, the people who spy on the Iron Leg Faction?" ”
"That's them."
Shi Huishou's face turned a little pale, and he poured himself a glass of soju, "I let them hide that night, and then didn't Gongzi say that he would see them when he was well, so I called someone to inform them this morning." ”
Speaking of this, he shuddered inexplicably, "Then, these people all disappeared last night. ”
Wei Tao's brows furrowed, "Did you leave any clues?" ”
"I only found a line of handwriting written in charcoal hastily under one person's bed."
Shi Huishou slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke again.
"What he wrote was that there were ghosts ......"
"Ghosts, killing people."
