8: Killing
Following.
With a groan, Li Ducian in the wooden liao woke up from his creaking old bed.
Outside the window, it was already autumn, and the grass and trees were bleak.
"If you kid doesn't wake up, I'll eat alone."
Just as he was coming back to his senses, a sloppy old man suddenly flashed out of the door, dressed in straw sandals, smiling with a few lonely big yellow teeth, and a wine gourd tied around his waist, limping in.
The old man was a Luo pot, with a hunched back and lame legs, a handful of sparse white hair on his head, and he was skinny.
He carried two oily roast chickens in his hands, raised his chin towards the two new tombs in the tomb as he walked inside, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this time it is two swordsmen who are not small, and there are still a lot of sacrifices, I have been guarding for a long time, and the old birds in the forest have not been able to peck a bite." ”
The old man is nameless, so he is called "old lame", he is the corpse collector in Luoyang City, specializing in collecting ownerless corpses, especially those who want to become famous in the world but die in shock.
Two roast chickens don't count, but seeing the old lame man groping around for a while, it was like a trick, and the empty wooden table was already full of all kinds of food and a pot of old wine in a short time.
This man is not only greedy for food and drink, but also a hungry ghost in lust, and very greedy for women.
It was only because Li Ducian had squandered it in the Goolan tile shop that he had invited this person to live happily in the "Cuifang Building" for seven days and seven nights, so they got acquainted.
I thought that the two would never cross paths again, and I didn't want him to be cornered and destitute, but this old lame man brought him here to live temporarily.
Li Ducian slowed down, stood up slowly, and then looked at the setting in the room, as if it had been cleaned; The roof was repaired, the rat holes in the corners were plugged, and the books in the room were neatly arranged.
When the old lame man saw Li Ducian coming, his mouth was already stuffed with wine and food, and he hurriedly said vaguely: "Don't look at me, this place has changed a lot when I came this morning, and where did you go last night to be merry and happy?" Hey, hey, the smell of fat powder on my body is strong enough. ”
As he spoke, the old lame man took out a lotus leaf-wrapped sauce elbow from his crotch, handed it to him and shouted, "Taste it."
Li Ducian rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Mother Liu came to me last night. ”
"Poof...... cough cough cough cough ...... "The old lame man was excited, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly shuddered, "I thought I was already a person who did not refuse, but I didn't expect you to be better than me, that kind of goods can go down to the mouth, you kid is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Li Ducian grabbed the wine jug and poured a sip of wine, which was spicy and entered his throat, and he suddenly sobered up a lot, turned around and walked out.
The old lame man was stunned: "You don't eat it?" ”
Li Ducian took a sip and walked straight away, and his voice came back: "Keep it for yourself, I have to go out." ”
The old lame man was disappointed and muttered: "Hey, it's really unpleasant, I'll enjoy these delicacies of the mountains and seas alone." ”
Li Dui's face gradually became gloomy when he walked out of the tomb, and a layer of cold sweat seemed to appear on his back, and he couldn't help but shiver when he was blown by the cool breeze in the forest, and even his pace became a little stiff.
Because the old lame man he had seen it the other day. I think it's because I've been in the company of corpses for many years, plus I'm old, and I'm infected with corpse poison, so I have half a life left, and I exude a dead air of dying in the twilight.
And that person is by no means an old cripple.
He resisted the urge to turn back.
It seems that the Blue Dragon Society and the Demon Sect are about to make a move.
There were also two new graves, and when he passed by, he saw that there was not much earth beside the graves, and the grave pit must not be deep, for he was afraid that it would not be a dead person buried in it.
Living?
Ambush.
A few words quickly flashed in Li Ducian's mind, thinking of last night's scene, and his brows immediately furrowed.
With the hands and eyes of the Blue Dragon Society, I am afraid that he has already found out that he and Shangguan Xiaoxian have already known each other.
Is this to use him as bait?
Li Ducian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it was really pressing step by step, the real old lame man was only afraid that he was dead.
So who is this old cripple now?
The lobby master?
……
It was almost noon, Li Ducian first walked around Luoyang City a few times, then walked into a casino, won three taels of silver with only a few copper coins, then went out and turned left, ate seven more steamed buns, and finally went to the best medical hall in the city "Rejuvenation Hall", so that the doctor inside carefully checked the pulse.
When I didn't find any hidden dangers such as Gu poison, I left with confidence.
The long street is noisy, pedestrians are bustling, coming and going, and many people in the rivers and lakes in the inns on the street are drinking and talking, talking about the major events that have happened in the rivers and lakes recently.
In the past, Bai Xiaosheng's "weapon spectrum" ranked among the world's masters reappeared, and Ye Kai, the successor of Xiao Li's flying knife, ranked first.
And also
Fu Hongxue.
Li Manqing.
Xue Qingbi.
Excalibur Villa.
Seven Star Pond.
……
One after another, the names of the people in the rivers and lakes who were worshiped as chivalrous saint sword immortals echoed in the scattered crowd.
Li Ducian stopped suddenly, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, there seemed to be a warm blood surging in his chest and abdomen for no reason, and his ears were filled with the most amazing names on the rivers and lakes, like an old monk.
This Jianghu ......
"Fuck, where did a fool dare to stand in the way of the uncle, get out of here!"
An impatient angry scolding suddenly started, Li Ducian instantly opened his eyes, looked at the fierce burly man in front of him, and hurriedly fled in embarrassment amid the accusation, causing a burst of laughter.
It wasn't until the beginning of twilight and the sun was sinking in the west that Li Ducian walked out of an inn.
Then go straight to the old temple outside the city.
In this half-day effort, he was not aimless, but he was testing the people who were following behind him, as well as the eyes of the two forces in the city.
For some faces he had seen many times, and some of them he had only seen once.
These people are also dressed differently, the innkeeper, the storyteller, the hawker, the turtle man who solicits customers, the peddler's pawn, the nine streams in the market, almost everything.
Sure enough, the hands and eyes are up to the sky.
It seems that I can't wait for the day when I will be a flower explorer.
Li Ducian still thought about the addiction to the title of the gold list, but according to the current situation, the two sides are incompatible, and now it is just a soldier against a soldier, and it will not be long before it will be a general against a general, and a king against a king.
He can't sit still, and the only hope at the moment can only be the "Luofu Secret Record" left by Dao Twelve; Since the other party deliberately gave away his identity, it is very likely that he will consider this situation and may leave some means to save his life.
Li Ducian has never been so eager to live as he is now, as long as he can survive this catastrophe and get through, then the world in front of him will be different.
The twilight was deep, and the pace was getting closer, and then he saw Li Ducian driving out of the path between the dry pine and strange mountains, looking at the old temple hidden in the shadows, he couldn't help but gasp a few times, and his heart and lungs seemed to be expanding.
But thinking that someone must be following behind him, he suppressed this blood-soaked strangeness again, and his heavy steps suddenly staggered, and then he ran in quickly, and his mouth did not forget to panic: "There are ghosts!" ”
In the dim temple, looking at the vague outline of the idol, Li Ducian approached, knelt down without hesitation, and bowed three times to the idol.
The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was extremely dull.
But in fact, before Jiu knocked on the ground, Li Ducian felt that a place in front of him had collapsed.
As if he had already guessed the result, he picked up the contents, and then hurriedly stuffed them into his arms, and re-covered the shallow pit.
The outside of the temple was dark and quiet, but there was a faint smell of blood, whimpering, and the sound of heavy objects falling down.
Still fighting......
