Chapter 8: The Hidden Dead

In a small city on the border of South Vietnam, two mysterious Jianghu people have suddenly appeared recently, doing evil and doing all kinds of evil, but they are extremely mysterious, and no one has ever seen their true faces.

In a forest outside the city, a large caravan passed through it, and within a distance of nearly 100 meters, there were all caravan men and horses, people and horses neighing, very lively.

The owner of the caravan sat in a sedan chair in the center of the procession, calculating how much silver he could earn on this trip, and the merchant smiled from ear to ear, and if this continued, he would be able to buy another yard in a few months.

This is not the first time he has sold moldy rice, the government cleared out the moldy old rice and bought it at a low price, the reason used is to feed the pigs, and the government does not check, directly sells the old rice to him at a very low price, and the money obtained is used to fill his own pocket.

Officials and businessmen collude, and it is the people who suffer. Moldy rice is washed and sold, and although the price is much cheaper than new rice on the market, eating this rice is very harmful to the body. Most poor families still buy this kind of old rice, after all, it is better than starvation.

The people's livelihood is already hard, and they can't afford the bone-sucking marrow of profiteers.

In the woods, two swift figures swept by, one at the front of the caravan and the other at the end.

The merchant in the center of the line panicked and jumped out of the sedan chair to flee through the woods. The figure at the end of the caravan flashed in front of the merchant in an instant, and without hesitation, he stabbed out with a sword, resulting in the merchant's life.

The figure at the front of the caravan seemed to be a little surprised, but it didn't affect his movements, he drove away all the guys and burned the entire caravan's cargo with one fire. Disappear into the woods with another figure.

In the distance in the city, the officers and soldiers saw the fire that stained half the sky red and the billowing smoke in the sky, and hurriedly organized people to put out the fire.

Mei Xiao and Yang Xian stood on a high ground, looking at the fire that spread throughout the woods and the people and officers and soldiers who were busy fighting the fire below, Mei Xiao's eyes had a trace of undetectable waves, and he asked, "Brother Yang, is it really right to kill him?"

Yang Xian's expression was still so calm, and it seemed to him that a profiteer was just eating and drinking, "I can't bear it, as long as I think it's right, I have to do it." ”

Mei Xiao's mind seemed to drift far away, "You are very similar to someone I know." ”

The fire was extinguished late at night, and the whole forest was almost scorched, and the people were busy all night with little rest, and the whole town complained and cursed the thieves who killed and set the fires, and not only killed the merchants who sold cheap rice, but also caused them to work all night.

Mei Xiao and Yang Xian had already expected the reaction of the people in the city, and they looked at each other and smiled, "It's almost." ”

As Yang Xian expected, the resentment of the people in the city was boiling, and while the government was chasing them more and more closely, some strange people also appeared around them, sometimes quietly following them, and sometimes directly following them in the open.

On this day, Yang Xian pretended to be unbearable, turned around and slammed the neck of the mysterious person who followed behind, "Don't think that Lao Tzu didn't find you, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time!"

Mei Xiao held the sword and watched Yang Xian's movements coldly, with no intention of stopping it.

The mysterious man was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Two heroes, slow, I have something important to talk to you." ”

Yang Xian's hand was slightly loosened: "Say!"

The mysterious man said: "Actually, I'm not here to follow the two, I want to ask the two, are you interested in joining my Dark Death Pavilion?"

Mei Xiao and Yang Xian glanced at each other: "What is the Dark Death Pavilion for?"

The mysterious man smiled, "Don't say anything else, the treatment of all heroes in my Secret Pavilion is definitely not available in other sects, and the money obtained from performing tasks in the pavilion is only 20% for the sect." ”

Yang Xian said sarcastically: "Can you fight against the government no matter how good you are? Now we are wanted criminals!"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my Assassin's Pavilion will never be hunted down by the government." ”

Yang Xian's eyes were slightly hesitant, and he looked back at Mei Xiao: "Go and see?"

Mei Xiao's eyes were cold, and he said, "Go!" "But if it's different from what he said, let's leave immediately!"

Yang Xian let go of the mysterious man and teased: "You can't be sent by the government to lure us in, right?"

The mysterious man's face was proud, "Absolutely not, the government is just a pawn in the eyes of our Dark Death Pavilion." ”

The two followed the mysterious man for three days, even if the three of them knew martial arts, it was not easy to walk, and on this day, several people entered the territory of the snowy region.

The snowy region is shrouded in wind and snow all year round, the land is sparsely populated, and there are very few villages where residents gather, so it has to be said that it is very wise and safe for the Dark Pavilion to choose this place to establish a stronghold.

On the vast snowfield, three people braved the wind and snow and struggled to move forward. Finally, the three of them came to a small village. The men and women in the village go in and out, it is very lively, although the village is small, but it is full of organs, taverns, inns, green buildings, all can be found.

The three of them walked from the entrance of the village to the middle of the village, Yang Xian was a little strange, and asked: "This village is so strange, is it necessary for a village to have a green building?

The corners of the mysterious man's mouth rose: "Welcome to the Dark Death Pavilion! This whole village is filled with people from my Dark Death Pavilion." ”

Mei Xiao asked, "What about the original people in the village?"

The mysterious man said lightly: "Slaughtered." ”

Mei Xiao felt a pain in her heart, and forced herself to calm down: "Oh." ”

The mysterious person arranged a place for Mei Xiao and the others to stay, and then left.

The snowy night comes early, starry, like shining eyes, looking at the things of the world without emotion, eternally witnessing the rise and fall of existence again and again in history.
