Chapter 18: The Horror of the North of the City
On the outskirts of the north of the city, mass graves.
The low graves rose one after another, and a few points of phosphorus fire rose and fell strangely in the dark night, like unwilling souls wandering.
Most of the burials here are sinners or poor people, so remote and gloomy that even tomb robbers don't take a look at them on weekdays.
Therefore, this place is sparsely populated, and even those who pass by hurriedly flee with Amitabha Buddha chanting.
But, tonight, next to a new grave, a woman knelt beside a child dressed in linen and filial piety, and set fire to the paper money with trembling hands.
The paper money ignited when it caught fire, and the fiery red light flew high, and the green smoke went straight up, coiling on the branches of the cypress trees on the side.
It also reflected the lines of tears on the woman's face.
She twisted the paper money lightly, choked up and muttered in a low voice: "Old Ji, I shouldn't have brought my child here to see you off, and I also know that this place is definitely not the safe place you said." β
"But, how can you tell me to bear to watch you expose your corpse and the wilderness being eaten by wild dogs and vultures......"
"In the daytime, I watched you being hung over there and whipped, and my heart broke into an unknown number of ......"
"But I can't go and stop them, I can't kill those wolf-hearted people......"
"I know that you can only walk safely if Che'er and I leave here safely...... However, in the days to come, how do you want our orphans and widows to live......"
Her tears kept falling into the dirt and seeping deep into his grave.
Although Che'er on the side was still young, he also knew what was happening, and he stubbornly grasped the loess with both hands, thinking that this would be able to restrain the grief and anger in his heart, but in the end two lines of tears fell uncontrollably.
"Mother, don't worry, when I grow up, I must avenge my father!"
Che'er said in a milky voice, her eyes full of tears were determined.
The woman looked at her child and burst into tears, and covered her mouth with bitter tears.
But while they were still immersed in grief, they did not know that danger was near.
Fifty meters away from them, more than ten meters away from them, the black-clothed man with a sharp weapon in his hand narrowed the encirclement step by step.
There is no one here, and the light of the paper money can easily attract the attention of those who have a heart.
- What's more, how could the guy surnamed Zhou let go so easily?
When the woman and the child were hugging each other in pain, one of the men in black led by them glanced at the rest of them, and suddenly they quickened their pace and surrounded the mother and son in the center!
The woman heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and suddenly looked up, only to see dozens of sharp swords approaching in unison.
She didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly protected the child under her, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Helpβ"
"Don't shout, no one will come to your rescue if you shout your throat. Get acquainted, hand over the account books, and you can spare your son from dying. β
The man in black at the head pointed his sword at her throat and said coldly.
"What books...... I don't know ......."
The woman's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly bowed her head and hugged the child tightly.
"It's hard to die when you're dying, you want to die with your children with the account books, right?!"
The man in black was already a little impatient, and his sword was mercilessly aimed at the woman's throat!
The woman closed her eyes in despair, and two lines of tears fell.
Just when she thought that she was going to die, she heard the crisp sound of the weapon colliding, and a bright sword light flew in front of her like a meteor, knocking the sword in the hand of the man in black to the ground without warning!
"Ahh
The black-clothed man led by him hurriedly covered the tiger's mouth, but saw that the green tendons in his palms had already been broken by Fang Cai's blow.
At the same time, that sword light instantly turned back and returned to Shen Jiangge's hands.
Shen Jiangge crossed his hands in front of his chest, arrogantly raised his head and stared at the man at the head, raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Just a few times of you, are you embarrassed to come out and kill people?" β
"You, who are you?"
The man in black at the head took a vigilant step back with the support of his companions, and there was already a look of fear in his eyes.
- He just acted on orders, and he didn't want to die here inexplicably.
"Me? Auntie, you don't deserve to know what my name is. If you don't want to die, get out. Otherwise, my aunt and grandmother will send you if I am in a bad mood today. β
Shen Jiangge flicked his wrist, and the sharp and piercing sword light flashed through their pupils.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black at the head gritted his teeth and glanced at his companions on the side.
The companion on the side quickly took out a strange-shaped flute and blew it vigorously into the sky!
A sharp and piercing flute soon spread, reaching dozens of miles away!
"Dare to do it?"
Shen Jiangge's eyes sank, and the knife in his hand had already shown dozens of dazzling rays of light, directly hitting the vital point of dozens of killers on the opposite side!
These killers are here to kill people who have no power to restrain chickens, so naturally their martial arts are a little worse.
Everywhere Shen Jiangge's knife passed, there was a figure of the man in black falling, and soon, only the man in black who was the leader was left.
When that person saw that Shen Jiangge could kill so many people in such a short period of time, there was a deep despair in his eyes.
When the knife in the Shen Jiang singer flew out again, the man knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and slowly closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
But at this moment, there were a few sounds like heavenly pianos floating in the air.
The sound of the piano came from far and near, and there was a suffocating and powerful internal force in it, and every note played, forcing Shen Jiangge's chest to feel uncomfortable.
The knife in her hand began to tremble uncontrollably at this point, and she was almost unsteady in her grip.
At this time, the man in black suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the piano, and his eyes were full of ecstasy for the rest of his life!
"Hell."
Shen Jiangge endured the discomfort and followed the prestige.
But I saw a fairy-like man in the thin night fog, with a veil lightly covering his hand, holding a piano and slowly walking out.
With every step he took, he randomly plucked a piano note, which seemed to be a gesture of giving birth to a lotus step by step, but the piano sound was going to take people's lives note by note.
"Take them away first."
Shen Jiangge knew that she had encountered a strong enemy, and she shouted at Ji Yuhan, who was standing behind her and had not yet made a move.
"What, no? Do you want to ask for me? β
Ji Yuhan didn't seem to be affected at all, he just lowered his head and played with the dark blue Xuanhua between his fingers, and teased Shen Jiangge in a light tone.
"Please? Please, I won't call it Shen Jiangge. β
Shen Jiangge was so agitated by him, he secretly raised his true anger, and killed the person holding the qin with a knife!
Under the lingering moonlight, the man slowly raised his eyes and plucked a string between his fingers that were in mid-air.
"Zhengβ"
The sound of the piano is as fast as an ice pick, and it goes straight to Shen Jiangge's heart!
Shen Jiangge's eyes were shocked, and he was about to protect his chest with a knife, but he found that it was too late.
"Idiot."
Just when she was at a loss, she only felt a figure behind her pull her back, and a faint blue light hit the piano between the man's fingers like daylight!
