Volume 1 Conspiracy Chapter 20 The Storm is Coming

After the two of them understood the general situation of the whole thing, they left the thatched hut on the farmland, and the villagers on the road had gradually shown their heads to prepare for the afternoon, and the two were silent on the road, each thinking about whether there was anything missing in this matter, although Niu Zhi's performance was like an ordinary person, but it was full of strangeness.

Why did a madman and fool in the mouth of a villager behave like an ordinary person when he saw the two of them, and why could he know what the two were looking for him, answered clearly and showed a panicked and frightened look, as if it had happened yesterday.

Li Chong's confusion was his clear answer, a matter of ten years ago, and it was an unlucky thing, why only Niu Zhi replied so clearly, and as a villager in the same village, it seemed that they had forgotten.

Qingru Xu was puzzled that Niu Zhi was sober and did not look like a madman, and when he talked about the past, he showed fear on his face, and when he saw the two, he knew what the two were thinking.

"There's something wrong with this Niu Zhi!" the two said in unison, their eyes facing each other, and they exhaled this sentence at the same time.

"You also think there is something wrong with him?" Qingru Xu frowned slightly.

Li Chongli nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the big tree on the side of the road: "Let's go over there and say, so as not to be heard by the names of the villages along the road!"

After arriving under the big tree, Li Chongli glanced at Qingru Xu and said, "I think this Niu Zhi is a big problem, will he be possessed by that female ghost?"

Resentful ghosts and powerful ghosts can be attached to ordinary people, some to absorb yang energy to enhance themselves, and some to take revenge before death, suck up the essence and let it die of exhaustion, it is obvious that Niu Zhi does not belong to these two things, so Qing Ruxu can only think of one, borrowing rumors, so why didn't he face to face last night to clear up his grievances.

"This matter is indeed too weird, Niu Zhi's expression and conversation are unexpected, do we have to go back and take a look at Niu Zhi again?" Qingru Xu touched his chin and said.

"Leave this to me, Qingdao Chief, you go back to the village and ask the village chief, he must know more details. After Li Chongli finished speaking, he disappeared in place, hidden in the air, difficult to find.

Qingru Xu looked left and right, and was a little envious of Li Chongli's ability to be invisible, if he could also hide if he wanted to, wouldn't he be invincible in the world, although he thought so in his heart, his footsteps did not fall, and he was already walking towards the village like a fly.

At this time, Niu Zhi was lying in the thatched house, the corners of his mouth were flowing with a hara, like the image of a fool in the village, his mouth was still babbling, as if he was talking, but he couldn't hear what was said.

Niu Zhi is indeed a crazy fool, Fang Cai's aura has completely dissipated, there is no spiritual energy, only the stupid demented eyes, and he still holds a thatch in his hand, poking the foot board vigorously, and scratching it with his hand after poking.

"Niu Zhi, Niu Zhi. Li Chongli was hidden at the door and called softly twice, but Niu Zhi in the thatched hut, as if he hadn't heard it, was still playing with his feet in the thatched hut, Li Chongli rolled his eyes, and then went to the village.

After Qingruxu returned to the village, he walked straight to the direction of the village chief's house, and the villagers in the village greeted him warmly, and Qingruxu responded with a smile.

After a while, Qingru Xu came to the village chief's house, which was built entirely of wood, which could not be said to be luxurious, but it was also one of the largest households in the village, with a bunch of grain hanging in front of the door, swaying alone in the air.

Qing Ruxu knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Is the village chief here?" I am Qing Ruxu, I want to ask the village chief if I have something, I don't know if it is convenient." ”

After asking, he tidied up his robe, waiting for a response from the house, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the house, and the door was gradually opened, and it was opened by a young woman, presumably the daughter of the village chief.

"Qingdao chief, my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he walked around too much yesterday, so he can't come and open the door for you in person, please come here." The woman saluted softly.

The woman was dressed in a cyan long dress, ordinary fabric, but not lost her beauty, with a hosta inserted in her slender hair, her face was ruddy, and her appearance was ordinary.

"Okay, there's Miss Lao. Qingru Xu replied slightly, and stepped into the house, the interior decoration of the house was a little simple, ordinary tables and chairs, ordinary screens, ordinary lamps.

The young woman led Qing Ru Xu to the old village chief's room, the old village chief was lying on the bed at this time, as if he was sick, his eyes were wrinkled, and Qing Ru Xu looked at the young woman suspiciously.

The young woman said in a slightly sad tone: "Dad, he has always been in poor health, and recently there have been missing villagers in the village, and he has been missing for a few days... If you move around a lot, you will fall ill..."

As she spoke, the young woman began to cry, and her eyes were full of tears, which made people feel pity.

Qing Ru Xu, as a scholar of Taoism, naturally rarely understands the feelings of men and women, although he wants to be comforted, he doesn't know where to start, so he can only say softly: "Girl, don't cry, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, the village chief must be nearly 100 years old, and he is a long life in the human world, so he should be happy." ”

When the young woman heard this, her eyes were a little stunned, but she still nodded, stepped forward and woke up the old village chief softly, and then withdrew from the room, leaving Qingru Xu and the old village chief behind.

The old village chief slowly opened his eyes, the bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible, his eyes were cloudy, he turned his head to look at Qingru Xu, smiled slightly, and couldn't get up when he remembered it, so he could only wave his hand lightly and beckon him to sit down at will.

"Old village chief, I won't bother much, just get straight to the point, the village chief must know that ten years ago, a couple died in the village, I think... Knowing the details of this matter, you can.. Take your time. Qingru Xu finished his words categorically, and in the end, he was afraid that he would speak too quickly, and the old village chief would not be able to hear clearly, so he slowly slowed down his tone.

The old village chief's cloudy eyes showed a little helplessness, and he sighed and said, "That thing, hey... Speaking of... It was also a disaster, ten years ago... The two in the village tied the knot, cough cough... The woman's name is Wang. Wang Jinmeng, the man's name is Gao Yang, and the two live the life of a farmer and a weaver... Ahem"

The old village chief coughed while talking, very uncomfortable, Qingru Xu stepped forward, grabbed the old village chief, and slowly crossed a breath, the old village chief suddenly seemed to return to the light, his eyes were much clearer, and he no longer coughed.

"Thank you, Dao Chief, my old body, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for long, the two of them have been like this for two months, one day, Wang Jinmeng is knitting needlework at home, and Gao Yang is plowing the land outside the village, and the bad news began on this day..."

"It was raining heavily, I just remember someone shouting, it's dead! The villagers went to watch, it was Wang Jinmeng who died, the death was tragic, and he was insulted like a beast, hey, at that time... Wang Jinmeng is pregnant." When the old village chief said this, he paused, and his eyes revealed sadness.

"Later, why did Gao Yang die outside the farmland? Qingru Xu clenched his fists and asked anxiously.

"Gao Yang, Gao Yang is a good person, it's a pity, how did he die, no one knows, the rain was too big at that time, and the village was very troubled by Wang Jinmeng's death, although someone braved the rain to find Gao Yang, but when he arrived, Gao Yang had already died in the farmland, hey... The two lives of the human beings are gone. The old village chief said with a sigh.

Qing Ru Xu frowned, these clues did not tell him why the husband and wife died, and the old village chief must not know how this murder happened, but Qing Ru Xu still asked: "Has the village investigated this matter?"

The old village chief lowered his head and thought for a while: "I have investigated... Naturally, it was investigated... But I can't find any clues.,Outside the village.. Cattle.. Niu Zhi buried them crazy that day, hey..."

Qingru Xu saw that the old village could not provide many clues, so he got up and prepared to retire, and went out to meet Li Chongli, just when Qingru Xu stepped out of the door, the old village chief suddenly said: "You can go and check their house, although it is about to collapse, but a capable person like you will definitely be able to find some clues that we can't find, I hope you can give Jinmeng justice, I thank you for Jinmeng." ”

Qingru Xu glanced back at the old village chief, nodded solemnly and walked out of the village chief's house.

Mukden City

Dark clouds shrouded, thunderclouds rolled, and silver snakes visible to the naked eye flashed in the sky.

The people of the city hurried home to collect their clothes, the officers and soldiers stood at the city gate chatting, the restaurant was singing and dancing, and the Templar assassins were scattered all over the streets, sharpening their daggers in their hands, ready to meet their fierce rivals.

Two days ago, the Templar Elders had brought them back with a surprise call, saying that a friend would be visiting in two days, but it was not a friendly greeting, but a bloody revenge, and if it could not be stopped, the Templar headquarters would be devastated.

The seriousness of this matter has reached its peak, and the assassins scattered all over the country have rushed back to Fengtian City, and the number of people in the city has also increased by several thousand.

Yue Xinghong was standing on the top of the city gate at this time, wearing a cloak and hat, waiting for the coming of this storm, as if he had heard the call, the silver snake in the sky flickered faster and faster, and the thunder was surging like a tide, which was terrifying.

Tick

The storm has officially hit, and the pedestrians on the street have long been empty, and only a few people are running to find shelter from the rain. 、

Yue Xinghong on the top of the city gate seemed to enjoy the storm very much, standing quietly, the wind and rain blew the doors and windows of the large and small houses in the city tightly until no one appeared on the street.

Yue Xinghong moved slowly, and a red light like a sword star landed, and as the blood light splashed, the two assassins hidden in the shadows were killed instantly.

Yue Xinghong walked out of the blood light, holding a sheath in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled up and slowly converged on the top of Yue Xinghong's head.
