Chapter 3 This hatred is hard to repay!
Really looking outside, in front of the new grave, Jiang Wang opened his eyes.
The little silver moon fell into the palm of his right hand, turned into a silver moon mark and burned on it, and then disappeared.
But Jiang Wang can still clearly perceive its existence, it does not have any power, it will only reappear when Jiang Wang's mind moves, hook up with the Taiyin Star, and bring his spiritual sense into that mysterious and unpredictable realm of too illusory.
He hadn't explored too long in the realm of too illusory, and the countryside he was in was not a place where he could explore with peace of mind.
Not to mention that after the aftermath of the battle between powerful cultivators dissipated, whether there would be cultivators from the Maple Forest City side to investigate. For Jiang Wang himself, he also has more important things.
If I don't remember the time, three days later, it will be the time for the selection of students in the inner courtyard of Fenglin Dao Hospital.
Once he misses this point in time, it will be difficult for him to find an opportunity - a chance for revenge.
Because the students of the inner courtyard are the disciples of the Taoist Academy who are truly recognized by Zhuang Guo, and the disciples of the Taoist Academy should not be humiliated, let alone killed!
Finally, after looking back at this broken Taoist temple that had been holding the sick body for many days, Jiang Wang stepped on the moonlight and strode away.
The front of the gate was overgrown with weeds, and a gust of wind blew, allowing the moonlight to shine on the old plaque that had been lying on the ground for many years. The handwriting on it is blurry, but the word "true" can be vaguely outlined.
The moon shines through the new grave, and the wind rustles through the leaves.
It was as if someone's sigh seemed to be sad and relieved.
Maple Grove City is actually not small, for many people who have lived here for generations, and even this is the whole world.
In addition to the city lord who represents the will of Zhuang Guo, the three surnames of Zhang, Fang, and Wang are the masters of this realm.
The night was dark, and the back door of Yicui Lou was pushed open. In the laughter of a plump sister, the man in a collared double-sided slit kaft out, and the smell of wine on his body became more and more proud.
His name is Fang Decai.
The word "Fang" is not easy, since his grandfather's generation, he has served in the Fang family for three generations before he was given this surname. It is precisely because of the Fang family that he can rely on the Fang family as a confidant, so that he can have such a lot of money on hand, and he can enter an ecstasy cave like Yicui Building once a month.
He squeezed his good sister again, and he laughed and left.
The plump sister looked at him with shame and muttered a few words in her mouth. It wasn't until his back was far away in the alley that he took a sip: "Dogs fight people." "Shut the door shut.
Because of this, she didn't notice that a man in ragged clothes was already close to Fang Decai's back.
Fang Decai had some martial arts in his body, and when he felt that something was wrong, he suddenly raised his fist and turned back, but the other party only slapped him casually and broke up his fist.
Then his throat was choked, and the whole person rose into the air, and was pressed against the wall again.
Compared to the pain that quickly swollen on his face, the gradually difficult breathing made him more frightened by that face.
Gentle, calm, Jiang Wang's face.
"Ginger...... Jiang ......" Fang Decai hissed with such a frightened and struggling throat that was choked.
"Who instructed you, the Fang family, or Fang Pengju? Who else was involved in this matter? What kind of poison is in the wine? How did you contact the remnants of Xishan?"
Jiang Wang asked these questions slowly, and pinched the moment before Fang Decai suffocated the past, Shi Shiran let go: "Now, tell me slowly." ”
He glanced up at the moonlight, "We have a lot of time. ”
The evening breeze gently pushed the clouds away, slightly hiding the moonlight, and the whispered conversations in this alley were as thin as the whispers of evil spirits.
That night, the bright moon blew in the sky and night, and the undead had returned to the city.
When the sky was bright, Jiang Wang stood at the gate of the Dao Courtyard of Fenglin City.
Zhuang Guo takes Daomen as the state religion, and the most powerful extraordinary power naturally comes from Daomen, as evidenced by the Taoist temples in the three counties and cities across the country.
The Taoist Academy is not only the preferred place for young people in Zhuangguo, but even officials at all levels must have a resume of studying in the Taoist Academy in order to serve the public.
Therefore, as far as the entire Maple Grove City is concerned, the most expensive place may not be the City Lord's Mansion, nor is it the mansion of the three surnames, but the Maple Grove City Dao Courtyard.
The Daomen inherited by Zhuangguo belongs to the Yujing Mountain lineage, which is the heaviest ritual. Therefore, the entire Taoist temple is also built magnificently. Not to mention anything else, just the pair of jade lions squatting on both sides of the gate are extremely majestic and noble.
Jiang Wang's clothes were still shabby, and there was even a sour smell when he smelled it. He simply washed his face and tied his messy hair back at random.
He stood in front of the open gate of the Taoist Courtyard, his whole head held high, like a green pine.
The outer disciple on duty rubbed his eyes again and again, and then shouted in disbelief: "Jiang ...... Senior Brother Jiang!?"
Jiang Wang nodded, "Senior Brother Wu is good." ”
As the most desperate outer disciple in the Daoist Academy of Fenglin City, he has participated in countless tasks in the Daoist Academy, as long as he is an outer disciple who has been in the Daoist Academy for more than a year, there is basically no outer disciple who does not know him.
Senior Brother Wu turned around and ran into the Taoist courtyard, shouting excitedly, "Senior Brother Jiang Wang is back!
In a short time, many disciples from the outer sect flocked to the door, crowding the gate of the Taoist Academy, and the senior brothers and disciples kept chattering. It can be seen that Jiang Wang is popular among the outer disciples on weekdays.
Among the dozens of outer disciples, a few of them were particularly eye-catching. Even in the crowd, the crowd subconsciously made way for them.
"Wang Ba Lizi surnamed Jiang! Where have you been hiding these days? I fucking thought you were dead!"
The one who started shouting from afar was Du Yehu. When he ran, the muscles on his body seemed to be about to explode at any moment. His face was also distinctive, with a beard on his face. At that station, just looking at his face, he was two or three rounds older than the surrounding outer disciples, and some people believed that he was the king of the mountain where he came from, but he didn't look like an eighteen-year-old boy.
Because the development is too anxious, it is called the young beard.
Like a bear squeezed out of the crowd, he hugged Jiang Wang, ignoring the faint sour smell on his body, and said vigorously in his mouth: "What a fuck!
"It's good to be back!"
said that it was good to come back, but his eyes were shining with tears, but his lips were trembling, it was Ling He.
His face was upright, the heavens were full, and he looked like a calm and calm person. At this time, he was standing behind Du Yehu in a white-washed practice uniform, and he looked at Jiang Wang so fixedly.
Only a handsome young man leaned over and looked Jiang Wang up and down first, before pointing to his ragged clothes and grinning: "Why did you get mixed up like this?"
His name is Zhao Rucheng. He was the most good-looking, and the smile on his face seemed to be slightly frivolous. But only those who are really familiar with him can see the faint tears in his charming smiling eyes.
These people have different appearances and personalities, but they are all lifelong friends with Jiang Wang.
In the many trial missions of the outer gate, they have worked together to overcome countless difficulties and dangers, and they have already formed a deep friendship.
But Jiang Wang's gaze passed over them, and only fell on the handsome young man in the crowd whose eyes seemed to be red.
He didn't speak, he didn't move, but he just stood there, faintly at the center of the crowd.
"Pengju, it's been fifty-seven days. Jiang Wang was almost word-a-word, "I think about you every day." ”
"I just want Pengju, don't you want the second brother?" Du Yehu grabbed Jiang Wang's shoulder and shook it, wah-wow.
Ling He and Zhao Rucheng were silent.
Fifty-seven days is a very specific and sensitive time, exactly fifty-seven days since Jiang Wang's disappearance.
Fang Pengju, who was dressed in a rich brocade suit, stepped forward with a smile: "It's good to come back, everyone is worried about you these days." ”
"yes. Jiang Wang also laughed, "If you can't see the corpse, how can you not worry?"
Fang Pengju's face changed, "What do you mean by this? After you had an accident, I was so anxious! Send people to look for you everywhere!"
Jiang Wangyu said: "That's why I didn't dare to show up until today." ”
"Jiang Wang! It was the remnants of the bandits in the West Mountain who attacked you, and everyone knows about it! Do you even suspect me?" Fang Pengju's face turned red, and he looked angry, "Our Fenglin Five Heroes are like brothers! Did you mishear any rumors?"
Ling He, Du Yehu, Jiang Wang, Fang Pengju, and Zhao Rucheng, these five people are the most outstanding figures among the disciples of the outer courtyard of Fenglin City Dao Academy.
Feeling the atmosphere that instantly became solemn, the disciples of the outer courtyard who came to greet Jiang Wang began to feel a little uneasy.
"Could it be that Fang Peng harmed Jiang Wang?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Fang Pengju has always been righteous, how could he do such a thing? It must be a misunderstanding!"
"I don't think so...... Senior Brother Jiang is not a fool to be fooled. ”
The crowd whispered.
"It's all your own brothers, don't talk nonsense!" Du Yehu stared at Jiang Wang, his face was very anxious. His instincts were bad, but there was nothing he could do to stop what was going on.
Ling He thought for a moment and persuaded aloud: "Third child, you must have experienced a lot of things and suffered a lot during this time. It's better to settle down first, and in a few days the inner courtyard will be selected, which is a major event related to a lifetime and needs to be treated carefully. The remnants of the bandits in Xishan have been killed by our joint efforts, and if there is any hidden secret, we can slowly sort it out. If you have grievances and hatreds, our brothers will definitely help you, even if it is to the county road institute and the national road institute, you will not hesitate to do so!
Ke Pengju is our brother who swore a blood oath together, and I believe there must be some misunderstanding. Maybe someone is stirring up ......."
"Big brother. Jiang Wang interrupted him, "When have I never said anything? For this brotherly relationship, I cherish it no less than you." So since I say that today, it means that this is indeed the case. ”
"Fang Pengju!" Jiang Wang turned his head to look at the brocade-clothed young man and stretched out his hand, "I hope you can be so arrogant after opening this box!"
Only then did everyone notice that behind Jiang Wang, there was still a large box.
"No matter what happens, my Pengju will never hurt my friends!" Fang Pengju was only stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I'll see for myself, what kind of evidence can make the third brother suspect his brother!"
He strode out of the courtyard, pulled out his long sword from his waist, and opened the lid of the box with one sword!
A person in the box was exposed, with rags stuffed in his mouth, and his expression was extremely anxious after seeing Fang Pengju, and he couldn't stop whining.
Du Yehu and Ling He were also silent, they all recognized that this was Fang Pengju's close servant Fang Decai.
"That day, your slave sent a post, saying that you asked me to go to the Moon Tower to drink. You hadn't arrived when I went, and he advised me to have a few drinks and try the wine you had brought me. The poison in that wine...... It is separated by two yin and yang.
As soon as the poison attacked, a mountain bandit broke into the door...... I personally suppressed the bandits in the West Mountain, but I didn't expect to be almost killed by a group of remnants in this Maple Forest City!"
Jiang Wang's voice sounded faintly: "So the first thing I did when I recovered was to go to find Fang Decai." ”
Fang Pengju was silent for a moment, and the next moment the long sword was sent urgently!
"Brute, my family treats you well. How dare you collude with mountain bandits, forge letters, and harm my third brother!"
The sword was fast and accurate, blood splattering. Fang Decai twitched violently, whimpered a few times in his throat, and finally remained motionless like a dead dog. From beginning to end, he didn't even have time to say a word to defend himself.
"Fang Pengju!" No one present is a fool, although Du Yehu is rude, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, this will be a tiger's eyes wide open, and anger will surge.
"Second brother. Fang Peng raised the long sword dripping with blood, his face full of shame, "I'...... I was furious for a while, and I just wanted to kill this beast to vent my anger for the third brother!"
"It doesn't matter. Jiang Wang watched Fang Pengju finish his performance, and then shook out a piece of paper from his arms, with dense handwriting on it, "Here is Fang Decai's confession and painting, do you want to see it?"
"Bang dang!"
Fang Pengju casually discarded the long sword and fell to his knees suddenly, "I don't know what is written on it even if I don't look at it, I can only say that the Xishan bandits will not die in my heart, and I don't know what price was spent to make this beast so desperate! But third brother, you believe me, I have always been frank, how can I ever act like a villain? No matter what the cause of this matter is, my family will definitely give you an explanation, I will offer a reward of 10,000 yuan, and I will definitely eliminate the bandits within a radius of 100 miles, so as to wash away the hatred in the heart of the third brother!"
There were also disciples from the outer courtyard in the crowd who spoke up: "Yes, Senior Brother Jiang, you Fenglin Five Heroes are all good men, they are the pride of the outer courtyard of my Fenglin City Dao Academy, don't be provoked by villains!"
"My mother was once seriously ill, and it was Senior Brother Fang's generosity that made her donation. I'm sure he's not that kind of person. ”
There were also those who spat on Fang Decai's corpse, "It's not a pity for such an evil servant to die, but it also stains the reputation of Senior Brother Fang, and the brotherhood of the five heroes of Fenglin." If he were alive, I would love to cut him with a thousand knives!"
"You don't need to say much!" Fang Peng raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and looked at Jiang Wang sincerely with a few steps on his knees: "After the third brother disappeared, I led people to search everywhere, and I couldn't cry many times! I know the love and righteousness of the third brother, and the world can learn from it! But even though I have a clear conscience, if I don't trust Decai and the third brother trusts me, how can there be this beast to take advantage of? All the blame lies with me, and I am willing to bear all the blame!"
"I am willing to pay all my private treasury and property to pay for the pain of my third brother, I am willing to be whipped to make up for the fallacy of wrong faith, I am willing to go alone and swear to destroy the remnants of the West Mountain, and the remnants will not end, and I will not return to the city!"
"I'm willing to do this, not to compensate, the third brother almost died, this hatred is hard to repay! It's just that we are brothers, I can't forgive myself!"
"If ......" Fang Pengju almost burst into tears in the end, gritted his teeth and said: "If the third brother still has hatred, then pick up this long sword and kill me with one sword!"
Everyone's eyes were on the blood-stained sword that threw to the ground.
"Senior Brother Fang can't be like this!"
"I believe it's not your fault, how can the eldest husband die easily?"
In this situation, the audience was all moved and spoke out to dissuade them.
Even Ling He spoke again after being silent for a while: "Third and fourth, this matter ......"
Jiang Wang waved his sleeves and straightened out, "Pengju, I have suffered several wounds for you, and you have also stood up for me." Our five brothers have lived and died together. ”
Whether it was Ling He, Du Yehu or Zhao Rucheng, their eyes were all slightly red. The blood and tears they experienced together, the days they fought together, and the joys they spent together...... Only they themselves know.
The brotherhood of living and dying together, how can it be said in three words?
"Third brother......" Fang Peng lowered his head, and for a while he burst into tears, crying silently: "A thousand mistakes, it's all my brother's fault, I shouldn't have mistrusted the evil servant, I almost made a big mistake!"
"But since Pengju said so......" I only heard Jiang Wang say slowly: "Then the third brother, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!"
