Chapter 7: Death
At this time, in Qinghe City, Zhao Zheng, the city lord who was a prince of the Song Kingdom, knelt humbly in his own hall, if this scene was seen by others, he would be surprised, after all, what could make Zhao Zheng look like this would definitely not exceed five fingers in this Song Kingdom.
"I don't know what else the seniors commanded?" Zhao Zheng asked cautiously with his head down.
Looking at the old man above him, Zhao Zheng was very worried in his heart, although this old man was dressed sloppily, but the suffocation feeling that made the blood in his whole body almost coagulate at a glance at himself, this feeling was only experienced when he met Emperor Song.
The sloppy old man picked at the meat crumbs between his teeth with his fingers, and said: "The little doll is doing well, you don't have to meddle in the rest of the things, but since you have helped the old man do things, the old man will not take advantage of you in vain, the eldest husband should do something in the world, if you have the courage to do what you think in your heart, then the next thirty years are hopeful." ”
"Is this true?" Zhao Zheng suddenly raised his head and asked.
Zhao Zheng has been in this realm for more than ten years, and there has been no breakthrough in his cultivation in the past ten years, and he has already been disheartened.
"Hehe, is the old man lying to you? But there is only a glimmer of hope, whether it can be successful or not depends on how you choose, dare to do it or not, whether it is worth it or not, little doll, you have to think clearly. The sloppy old man smiled disdainfully.
The question of daring or not, whether it is worth it or not began to rush in Zhao Zheng's mind, and Zhao Zheng only felt that his head was about to explode.
The sloppy old man chuckled, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the City Lord's Mansion.
If the Qi Induction Realm is the key to judging whether a person is qualified to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, then the Soul Realm is the threshold of whether a monk can pursue the Heavenly Dao.
"Molten spirit, if it weren't for the hopelessness of his soul in this life, how could he be thrown by his family to such a remote place to be the city lord of this Laoshizi, only when he reached the realm of metamorphosis can he be qualified to resist the banner of the Zhao family, and he is qualified to go to the capital of the Song Kingdom to enter the real center of power, but what he thinks in his heart, do he really want to do it, and do he really have the courage to do it. Zhao Zheng, who was vacillating between the Soul Transformation Realm and the Great Rebellion, fell into a mess.
To commit the world's disapproval, to Bo that glimmer of hope, such a price, is really a bit cruel.
On this day, Zhao Zheng, the city lord of Qinghe, one of the princes of the Song Kingdom, and the powerhouse of the Huadan Realm, knelt in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion for a whole night.
On the other side, in the Wangpan Mountain Range, the black wolf no longer has the extra energy to drag another monk, and if it drags on, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, who will escort Su Zhiling to the national capital.
The black wolf who caught up with the scaly rhinoceros army looked at the scaly army beside him, which had suffered heavy casualties, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Xunxiang, when Liu Xunxiang saw the cold and violent gaze of the black wolf, his heart suddenly felt cold, and finally he had reached this point.
The black wolf nodded at the scaly rhinoceros army holding Liu Xunxiang, and the scaly rhinoceros army suddenly threw Liu Xunxiang to the ground.
"Black wolf, what are you doing, stop it, if you dare to throw the little willow away, I will definitely kill you when I become successful." ”
No matter how stupid Su Zhiling was, she knew why the black wolf did this, and she was about to break free, but where was her strength the opponent of the Scaly Army, so she could only shout at the black wolf.
Liu Xunxiang sat on the ground and smiled, looked at Su Zhiling and said softly: "Zhiling, what they want to kill is me, you go to the National Religious Academy to cultivate hard, don't take revenge, just take care of my father and mother for me." Then he looked at the black wolf and said: "Big brother black wolf, I don't blame you, it's not me, you won't be so seriously injured, I'm sorry, please be sure to send the spirit to the National Church Institute safely." ”
"Little Liuzi, shut up for me, shut up, I won't allow you to die, black wolf, take him with you, or I will kill you." Su Zhiling's face could no longer tell whether it was rain or tears.
The words spoken by the two children made these scaly and rhinoceros sergeants, who had been instilled on the first day of joining the team not to abandon their comrades and not to give up their co-workers' beliefs, silently lowered their heads.
Time would not favor either side, and a large number of black-clothed killers in the rear quickly caught up again under the leadership of the two ghost-faced black-robed monks.
The black wolf looked at Liu Xunxiang, as if he had just met this young man with ordinary background and ordinary qualifications, the black wolf was born poor, and was sold to the Zhao family as a slave since he was a child, because of his perseverance was appreciated by the young Zhao Zheng, and followed him, and later Zhao Zheng found that the black wolf had the ability to cultivate immortals, so he applied to the Zhao family to cultivate the black wolf, although the black wolf was grateful for Zhao Zheng's kindness, but in his bones he hated these noble family disciples, so he has always had no good impression of Liu Xunxiang and Su Zhiling.
"Boy, my black wolf owes you a favor!" said the black wolf staring into Liu Xunxiang's eyes.
Liu Xunxiang smiled, smiling very reluctantly, although he was very afraid, but at least his parents were fine, even if the uncle was on the throne, with this leader of Qinghe City's personal guards, he would be somewhat relieved.
"Withdraw!"
As soon as the black wolf gave the order, the remaining scale rhino army immediately took action.
"Let me down, let me ......go" Su Zhiling, who was in a hurry, bit the hand of the scaly rhino army, but the blood flowing from the arm couldn't tell whether it was the scaly armor army or Su Zhiling's.
Seeing this, the black wolf pointed at Su Zhiling's forehead, and Su Zhiling fainted.
Looking at the scale armor army that gradually disappeared in his eyes and the ghost-faced black-clothed man who soon came to him, Liu Xunxiang was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "I really fucking regret coming out, die, it's a big deal that the master will be a good man again in eighteen years." ”
Woo Woo ~ Liu Xunxiang only felt that there were two winds blowing beside him, and there was no movement, one breath, two breaths...... Ten breaths passed, and there was still no sound or movement around except the sound of rain crashing on the ground.
Is it because I'm dead, this is the world after death? But why don't I feel pain?
Something is wrong, he is not dead, he opened his eyes suddenly, Liu Xunxiang began to gasp for breath, seeing that he was still sitting in place, he quickly touched his neck and body with his hands, and found that Liu Xunxiang, who had no scars, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking back to what just happened, maybe the two ghost-faced monks didn't bother to kill themselves, Liu Xunxiang moved her buttocks back, leaning against a tree and thinking in fear.
At this moment, a sharp and piercing sound pierced through the rain curtain and reached Liu Xunxiang.
"Tut-tut, you're not dead, it seems that those people are not here to kill you. ”
Liu Xunxiang was suddenly frightened, immediately turned over and stood up, and shouted around: "Who?
"Hahahaha, I'm really not a hero, I haven't seen you for a long time, little master. Several black-clad masked men came out of the rain, and the leader reached out and tore off his own masked scarf.
Liu Xunxiang was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Du?"
The person standing in front of Liu Xunxiang was none other than Du Zhong, the housekeeper of the Liu family.
Du Zhong did not shy away from it, and said with a smile: "Little master, I'm sorry, the old slave has been ordered by the master of the family to send you on the road." ”
Isn't the head of the Liu family his own grandfather, Liu Chongru?
Liu Xunxiang was struck by lightning at this moment, could it be that his grandfather wanted to kill himself.
"Why did Grandpa do this, Uncle Du, you must be lying to me, right?" Liu Xunxiang said with a strong smile, but his voice had already begun to tremble.
Du Zhong sneered, and then said expressionlessly: "Little young master, don't dream, it's enough for the Liu family to have a big young master, haven't you understood it yourself all these years? Even if you are an ordinary person, a waste who can't cultivate, the Liu family can't tolerate you." ”
After that, he took out an iron plate from his arms, the iron plate has a peculiar pattern, and the word "Liu" is engraved in the middle, this token is the order of the head of the Liu family.
Liu Xunxiang has nothing to say anymore, there is only one piece of the head of the family's order, Liu Chongru never gives it to people at will, and in the Liu family, seeing the head of the house is like seeing the head of the house, it seems that it is really the grandfather who wants to kill himself.
"Little master, read that the third master is good to the old slave, the old slave will give you a good time, your death, in exchange for the wealth and peace of the entire Liu family, so you can go on the road with peace of mind." Du Zhong put away the token and made a gesture.
Seeing this, a man in black behind him walked over to Liu Xunxiang with a knife, looking at the executioner approaching step by step, Liu Xunxiang didn't know where to get the strength, propped himself up and ran towards the dense forest behind him.
Burst~
There was a sound, and I saw a knife piercing Liu Xunxiang's chest straight from behind.
Liu Xunxiang only felt that there was a hot liquid in her throat constantly gushing out of her mouth, her eyes gradually began to blur, and Liu Xunxiang's mind appeared with the gaze of her parents and the ridicule and jealousy of the clansmen in her family.
"Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he can't give you a pension. ”
Du Zhong walked slowly, pulled out his knife and said with a smile: "If you let this hairy boy escape from me, what face do I have to mix in this rivers and lakes." ”
Immediately, Du Zhong turned to the four black-clothed men behind him and said, "Thank you for your help in the Snake Cave this time, and when I go back to pay the errand, the remaining remuneration will be sent to the Snake Cave by the Liu family." ”
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but at this moment, another knife light flashed in Du Zhong's eyes, Du Zhong was shocked, and just as he was about to raise the knife to resist, he was cut by one of the men in black and cut his throat.
"You... You snake caves... No... Don't talk about credit, the Liu family... Won't put... Over you. Du Zhong's eyes were full of horror and looked at the four of them and said.
The snake cave is a mortal force on the rivers and lakes, specializing in cultivating killers, as long as you give money, you can kill anyone, and the reputation in the rivers and lakes has always been very good, and I heard that there are powerful immortals behind it, so Du Zhong will go to Qinghe City to find the stronghold of the snake cave, and pay for the snake cave to make a move, to ensure that it happens.
The man in black who did it was unmoved, and said coldly: "Liu family, someone paid for your current life." ”
Du Zhong died, and at the moment when he lost his breath, he figured out who was going to kill him, the Liu family, he was really ruthless.
The rain slowly washed away the blood on the two of them, but even so, there was still a strong smell of blood here.
Not long after the black-clothed killer left, a black shadow flashed in the distance, and after the black shadow saw Liu Xunxiang's corpse, he sighed: "It's still a step too late, there is such a terrifying power behind the scenes of this rainy night attack, I can ask the Condensation Realm monk to stop me, this matter must be reported to the adults quickly." ”
Immediately, the black shadow hit Liu Xunxiang's corpse and played a spell to isolate the rain, and after looking left and right, he chased in the direction where the black wolf and the others left.
The rain gradually decreased, but the beasts of the Wangpan Mountains still did not dare to go out in their lair. It is precisely because of this that the two corpses can still lie there intact.
There seemed to be a gray smoke floating slowly in the dark sky, this smoke seemed to have a spirit, condensed but not dispersed, lingering on Liu Xunxiang's corpse and Du Zhong's corpse, and finally fell into Liu Xunxiang's corpse.
The surroundings were still quiet, until the sky was slightly bright, and a figure suddenly appeared next to Liu Xunxiang's corpse, looking at Liu Xunxiang's corpse and shaking his head: "It seems that the old man is not blind yet, there is hope." ”
After that, the sloppy old man waved his sleeves and left here with Liu Xunxiang's corpse.
