Chapter 37: The Truth
Seeing that the little girl fell asleep again, Mo Xiaoxiao gently covered her with a quilt.
Several people quietly exited the room and gently closed the door.
Then they went downstairs and sat around the table again.
"Now we can be sure that Shopkeeper Song had been a soldier before, probably a martial artist. In addition, the death of his wife may be related to what he heard before, and it is estimated that his attack on and killing that immortal master has nothing to do with this matter. Feng Yichen analyzed.
"What an immortal! I think it's just a group of swaggering and deceitful charlatans, what kind of power can they have? Even if you bully others, you can't even let go of such a cute little girl, it's really an unforgivable sin! Mo smiled and said angrily.
After only a while, she and Song Zi'er had already stood on the united front, and even her perception of her father was much better. Then what kind of immortal master is naturally a bad person who is extremely sinful!
The friendship between women is so inexplicable and unreasonable.
"What Miss Mo said is also reasonable, as far as we know, this immortal master and his party are probably not good people. The shopkeeper Song fell into their hands, and there was a lot of luck! Just pity the little girl. Jin Fugui sighed.
"Humph! Lao Tzu walked the rivers and lakes, and the most unaccustomed thing was these goods who pretended to be gods and ghosts, so that I met all of them! Li Tieniu slapped the table and said viciously.
"Don't just say it, you have the ability to kill them! I just helped the little girl, maybe she won't be afraid of you! Mo Xiaoxiao mocked on the side.
"Girl, don't provoke me with words, although I am reckless, I am not stupid! Won't be provoked by others! Unexpectedly, this man looks rough, but his mind is very delicate.
"But...... The guy surnamed Song still owes me half a month's silver, and he can't do it if he can't come back. Well, I'll go through this one! Li Tieniu changed his words and said.
"Brother Tie Niu is quite chivalrous, and he is really a model for my generation! As a disciple of the sect, it is our duty to drive away evil spirits and support justice, if Brother Tie Niu goes, count me as one! Feng Yichen clasped his hands into fists and said.
"It's a bit bloody! I'll go too! Mo Xiaoxiao also said.
"Don't get me wrong! I'm not a knight, I'm just for my money! Li Tieniu said stiffly.
"That, I'm just a businessman, I can't do these things like fighting, killing and killing, so I won't go." Jin Fugui embarrassedly interrupted a few people and said.
"It's useless to drop the chain at a critical moment!" Mo Xiaoxiao muttered quietly.
Feng Yichen gave her a look, this girl still did her own thing, which made Feng Yichen have a headache.
Jin Fugui was also a little embarrassed, as the saying goes: "A useless scholar is a scholar", but he is not much better than a scholar as a businessman.
As for Lin Yan, he has long been ignored by several people. Although I don't think this child is simple, but that's all.
At his age, even if he is a genius, how strong can he be?
Besides, almost all of the young powerhouses are excellent disciples of the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and there are very few people in the rivers and lakes.
This is also very understandable, after all, the exercises, martial arts, and training of the division commanders that the great sects can provide are all incomparable to the rivers and lakes. This is also why many people in the rivers and lakes are willing to take refuge in the imperial court or big sects.
After all, they have more to gain than they will be constrained.
Since you have decided to fight with this immortal master who pretends to be a ghost, then you have to make a careful plan, after all, the other party is a large number of people, and it is in the home field of others, if you are not careful, you don't know how to die.
Today, after a day of various things, everyone was hungry and tired, but fortunately, there were vegetables and rice in the kitchen, and a few people were going to make some food.
Unexpectedly, I originally thought that Jin Fugui was the kind of person who came to stretch out his hand for food and open his mouth, but he didn't expect him to cook a good dish, and several people also had a good mouth, and even forgot a lot about Mo Xiaoxiao's previous useless things about saving people.
At night, Song Zi'er woke up again, Jin Fugui cooked some rice porridge, Mo Xiaoxiao brought it to her room and fed her a little, and a few people didn't expect that this pampered eldest lady would also take care of people.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, after breakfast, several people began to make plans.
Several people have always thought that it is very unwise to clash head-on with the other party in this town, their purpose is just to save people, and after rescuing Song Yi, who is the shopkeeper, it will not hurt to make trouble again.
After discussion, it was decided that the division of labor was as follows:
Feng Yichen and Mo Xiaoxiao went to find out where Song Yi was being held, while Li Tieniu went to check the terrain, Jin Fugui and Lin Yan prepared a carriage or something, and after rescuing Song Yi, they were ready to run away with their father and daughter at any time.
Although Mo Xiaoxiao felt so uneasy, considering the priority of this rescue operation, he didn't say anything more.
After the division of labor was clear, several people separated and went to work.
Lin Yan was originally going to prepare things for the retreat with Jin Fugui, but seeing that he was bargaining happily with those vendors in the town, he himself was bored and couldn't help much, so he and Jin Fugui were temporarily separated.
Walking on the road to the town, Qiu Lao's voice sounded in Lin Yan's mind: "Boy, are you trying to meddle again?"
Although it is a small town, there are also many pedestrians on the street, and Lin Yan did not talk to himself in a way that attracted attention, but communicated directly with Qiu Lao in his heart. After all, Qiu Lao is a knife spirit, and the broken knife is now in his hands, he is equivalent to half of the master of the knife, and he can naturally communicate with Qiu Lao.
As for the real master, in Qiu Lao's heart, there is only one cheap master of Lin Yan who has never met.
"How can this be nosy? I heard from you, my master was also a great hero back then, and this kind of chivalrous and righteous thing must have been done, and I am also inheriting his old man's chivalrous style! Lin Yan said.
"Less poverty! I'll tell you, do what you can, the sequelae of my previous actions haven't passed, old man, you take it easy! "Qiu Lao Dao.
"Got it! I don't need you to do it this time, I have also experienced it! Lin Yan said with a smile.
"Also, watch out for those people, I have a vague feeling that they shouldn't be as simple as they seem!" Qiu Lao reminded.
"Got it!" Lin Yan responded, he is not a person who trusts others.
A few hours later, everyone gathered at the inn, and most of the preparations were almost done.
And the place where Song Yi was imprisoned has also been found, after all, the immortal master and his party did not deliberately hide, and they didn't expect that someone would really break ground on Tai Sui's head and plan how to deal with them.
Since coming to the town a year ago, this immortal master and his party have been living in the temple near the square, but this is not for the Taoist sect, but for the god of the underworld.
At that time, the town was suddenly hit by an epidemic, and under the leadership of the three elders and squires in the town, the townspeople worked together to build this temple of the underworld, and the immortal master and his party lived here.
In fact, the town was originally under the jurisdiction of Laiyang County, Kaizhou, but in this kind of town, the three elders actually held the power, and they were the officials in charge of education and education, and were responsible for the daily affairs of the town.
"The Book of Rites and Rites" has a saying: "Therefore, the ancestors are in the temple, the three princes are in the court, and the three elders are studying." ”
In the town, the three elders have absolute authority. With them taking the lead, things were naturally much easier, and it was completed in a month or two.
And Song Yi, who attacked and killed the immortal master this time, was locked up in the temple of the underworld, in a firewood room in the back hall of the temple, Song Yi was tied to a cross, his hands were chained, and his legs were also locked.
Looking at his hair and hair, his body was covered with blood marks, obviously he had been tortured.
In fact, the immortal master usually doesn't pay attention to a little person like him at all, but it is really that this sneak attack accidentally injured himself and lost face in front of a crowd, so how can he dissipate his anger if he doesn't have a good rectification?
At this time, the gray-clothed old man looked at him with a smile on the other side, playing with the red-hot soldering iron in his hand, and said, "Song Yi, Song Yi, why do you have to go against me?" Is it bad to be alive? ”
Song Yi, who was locked in the cross, glanced up at him, his eyes were bloodshot, and said hatefully: "Alive? With you demons here, how can we live? ”
The gray-clothed old man smiled and said, "You have wronged us!" If it weren't for the 'Immortal Powder' given by the God of the Underworld, the plague a year ago would have turned this place into a real ghost realm! ”
"Less fake! Epidemic disease? I suspect you're a thief and a thief, that's what you did! And what kind of 'fairy powder', since everyone used it, more and more weak, listless all day long, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, aren't they all good things you do? Song Yi said sarcastically.
When the old man in gray heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said in a joking voice: "I admit that this is what I planned." But what can I do, those people believe in me, but not you. And you, you're going to die soon! ”
"I ask you, how did my wife die?" Song Yi asked suddenly, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of dying in a daze.
"She's such a beauty, she's just too brainless. What future can you have with such a thing? ”
"Originally, I was going to give her a chance to serve this immortal master, but who knew that this girl didn't know how to lift, so don't blame me for being ruthless. What I can't get, others don't want! ”
The gray-clothed old man's face changed, and he said coldly.
"It turns out that it's really you, the dog thief! Take your life! Yes! When Song Yi heard this, he couldn't control his excitement and roared.
"Tut-tut! Look at you, what you look like! Not at all! ”
"She was in the crowd asking for medicine, and I fell in love with her at first sight, but she rejected me. So, I gave her the poison, which was supposed to be for you to drink, but somehow she drank it herself, what a stupid woman! ”
The old man in gray said lightly.
"That's what happened!" Song Yi thought.
Before, he also regarded the gray-clothed old man in front of him as an immortal master, and he was even more fascinated by the "fairy powder", and his body deteriorated. His wife persuaded him many times to no avail, and saw that Song Yi was in pain without "fairy powder", so she went to help him ask for medicine.
As a result, this catastrophe was caused!
"Xiuniang, I hurt you!" Song Yi cried bitterly.
