Chapter 230: Peach Blossom Tribulation (2)
"It is only natural that murder pays for life. But my Emei faction has never killed Tang Gan, so how can I get the blood debt and blood to pay for it?" In response to Tang Cheng's repeated provocations, Huichun finally couldn't bear it anymore and became angry.
"You ......"
"What's going on?" Before Tang Cheng could refute it, Ye Tong had already opened his mouth to ask.
Tang Cheng didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Tong, so he could only indignantly inform Ye Tong of the tragedy that happened at the Chenfu Inn this morning, and finally presented the "corpse" and "rosary" as evidence.
Ye Tong's white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a careful investigation of Tang Gan's corpse, he nodded hesitantly and said, "Tang Qian did die under the Emei thorn. ”
"Ye senior. Huichun was shocked and hurriedly said, "Although the Emei Thorn is a unique blade of my faction, it is not only a disciple of Emei who can cast it, if outsiders want to forge it, it is really easy." Based on the wound alone, it can never be concluded that Tang Gan's death was the work of my Emei faction. ”
"What about this rosary?" Tang Cheng asked, "Why don't you take out all the beads of the Emei disciples and let me check them one by one?" ”
"Tang Yan, you don't want to deceive people too much!" Huichun said, "This kind of rosary is everywhere in the world, how can you assert that it is my Emei thing?"
"Although the rosary is not unusual, but in the Chenfu Inn last night, there were only you nuns who carried the rosary!" Tang Cheng sneered, "It's not you, who else will there be?"
Hui Chun was furious, and said in a deep voice: "It is obvious that someone deliberately planted a false accusation! Tang Yan, you are untrustworthy, and you have repeatedly insulted my Emei reputation, and only based on ambiguous speculation, you framed the Emei disciple to kill Tang Gan, who can prove it?"
"Who can prove it?"
"I can prove it!"
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to dissuade him, Chen Yong had already stepped forward quickly and said loudly: "I can prove that someone did kill Tang Gan last night, and then deliberately planted the blame for the Emei faction." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed suddenly. Especially Ye Tong, an indescribable strange color flashed between his eyebrows.
Chen Yongbi bowed his hand respectfully to everyone, and then told everything that Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin had found out this morning.
After hearing this, everyone showed surprise on their faces, and even the disciples of the Teng clan couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Tang Cheng frowned, and said coldly: "The Xianwang Mansion and the Emei faction have always had a close relationship, of course you help them speak." ”
"Not really. Tang Cong echoed, "We also found the powder left by the ecstasy smoke on the window rail, which is enough to prove that what Master Chen said is true. ”
After that, Tang Cong handed Ye Tong a package of powder collected in advance, and Ye Tong sniffed a little, and he knew everything.
"It's really ecstasy. Ye Tong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "It seems that there is something strange about this matter." Tang Yan, I know that you are eager to avenge your disciples. However, there is a head for the wronged and the owner for the debtor, and everything should have real evidence, and we must not make something out of nothing and wronged a good person. ”
"But ......"
"That's it!" Without waiting for Tang Cheng to speak, Ye Tong waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "Actually, the old man invited all the sects and factions here today, in order to resolve the contradictions between the six major sects and the four major families, so as not to set off an unnecessary turmoil in the rivers and lakes. ”
Liu Xunyi hesitated: "Dare to ask Senior Ye what he means......"
"The grievances between Shaolin and the Qin clan in Hexi, the old man has heard a little. Ye Tong said faintly, "The Qin clan in Hexi killed eleven Shaolin monks in a row for the matter of 'Xuanshui Volume'. Now, in order to avenge the hatred, Shaolin summoned the Xianwang Mansion and the six major sects to kill Hexi with them. In order to protect themselves, the Qin family quickly joined forces with the four major families of Jinjianwu and Wulin, wanting to fight against the six major sects. In this way, on the second day of the eighth month, wouldn't the Central Plains Martial Arts want to make a big mess?"
"We just want to work with Shaolin to seek justice from the Qin clan in Hexi, and we have no intention of fighting with it. Xu Zhun hurriedly explained, "Senior Ye...... I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding......"
"Misunderstanding?" Ye Tong snorted lightly and sneered, "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, what is a misunderstanding and what is not a misunderstanding, I can see through it at a glance." This kind of thing, in the name of seeking justice, is actually taking the opportunity to suppress the other party, and you people ...... How many people will be able to get out of Hexi alive?"
"What the master means is that since this matter is a grudge between Shaolin and the Qin family, then the other sects should stop intervening and let the two families solve it themselves. Caidie suddenly spoke, "If you interfere, not only will you not turn the war into a jade silk, but you will help more and more." At that time, Shaolin and the Qin family will definitely not give in to each other for the sake of their own face, and they will fight to the death. ”
"That makes sense. Liu Xunyi nodded undeniably, "Once you fight, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties." Not to mention...... What is the truth about the death of the eleven Shaolin monks, everything is not yet known, how can we intervene?"
At this moment, Liu Xunyi had learned Ye Tong's true purpose, and couldn't help but blame himself secretly in his heart, secretly scolding himself for not spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and wronging the predecessors of the rivers and lakes for harboring ghosts.
In fact, for the incompatibility between the six major schools and the four major families, Liu Xunyi has always had a grudge. The last thing he wanted was to see the Han people kill each other, once the Central Plains martial arts fell into chaos, it would not only be missing a strange army to help the Great Song Dynasty, but it would only increase the civil strife and make it worse.
Therefore, for the grievances between Shaolin and the Qin family, Liu Xunyi hopes to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
"Go back and tell your head that if they still have an old man in their eyes, don't continue to meddle in this matter. Ye Tong said.
Tang Cheng looked hesitant, and said faintly: "Senior Ye, if the six major sects insist on colluding with Shaolin, do we still want to abandon the Qin family?"
"What do you mean?" said Hui Chun, "What do you mean to be embarrassed?"
"If you don't collude with Shaolin, why do you want to kill my Tang disciple?" Tang Cheng's three sentences were inseparable from revenge, which showed how angry he was at Tang Gan's death.
"One day!"
Without waiting for Huichun to speak, Ye Tong suddenly said: "You can stay in the old man's peach blossom dock for a day, tomorrow the old man will find out the real murderer of Tang Gan, and give Tang Men and Emei an explanation to each other, how about it? As for the others, please also rest in the dock for a day, and the old man will personally repair a book, so that you can bring it back to your own head." ”
"Well said!
Ye Tong personally spoke, and everyone couldn't excuse themselves, and nodded their heads in agreement.
After noon, Caidie settled everyone in the peach blossom dock to rest.
In order to avoid disputes, the Xianwang Mansion and the people of the Six Great Sects were settled in the East Cross Courtyard. Jin Jianwu and the children of the four great families settled in the West Cross Courtyard.
Separating things also saves each other a lot of trouble.
There was nothing to say for a while, the six major schools and the four major families were clearly distinguished, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon.
Nearly dusk, Chen Yong personally cooked, and set up a banquet in the East Cross Courtyard to entertain the disciples of Emei, Qingcheng, Wudang, Kongtong, and Kunlun.
Chen Yong originally only planned to feast on Emei and Kunlun, after all, these two factions had an old relationship with him.
But after thinking about it, the six major factions are like a family, and if they turn a deaf ear to the other three factions, it will inevitably favor one over the other and be honest. Therefore, Chen Yong simply invited everyone to come together, and instructed Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai to go to the restaurant in the city to buy some dishes and wine to add color.
The golden black fell in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.
Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, the warm breeze is slow, and there is an indescribable refreshment between heaven and earth.
At this time, three large open-air tables were set up in the east cross courtyard, and there was no need to wait for people to greet them, and the disciples of each faction had already sat down, and in the lively sound of pushing cups and changing lamps, a small banquet officially kicked off.
"Looking for clothes, let's try the yellow crispy peas that I fried myself. Chen Yong was very interested, and raised chopsticks again and again to find clothes for Liu. When he saw Liu Xunyi's admiration after eating, his face suddenly danced.
Seeing this, Xun Qin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Master Chen not only has excellent swordsmanship, but also can make good dishes. ”
Chen Yong smiled, turned to a bitter face, and explained thoughtfully: "Actually, this dish of 'yellow crispy peas' is Huiying's favorite dish, and I made a special trip to the foot of Mount Emei for her to find the best local master to learn." It's a pity...... When she was alive, the 'yellow peas' I made were always not tasty, and now I have finally mastered the heat, but she ......"
As for this, Chen Yong's eyes were already red, and there was a faint flash of tears in his eyes.
Seeing that Chen Yong, who is usually cynical, is so emotional at the moment, Liu Xunyi can't help but be deeply moved. He took the initiative to hold Chen Yong's shoulder, raised his chopsticks and said with a smile: "She is under Jiuquan, she will definitely know what you have done for her." It's rare to have such a delicious vegetarian dish in the world, and I'm going to eat it all tonight and feast on it......"
"No!
Before Liu Xunyi and the others could coax them into putting down their chopsticks, Chen Yong quickly picked up the plate of yellow crispy peas as if he was facing a great enemy, and turned to an Emei disciple next to him and asked, "Why hasn't Senior Sister Huichun come out yet......?" I made a special trip to fry her. ”
Huichun and Huiying are sisters in the same class, and they had a deep relationship in the past.
Now that Huiying is dead, Chen Yong wants Huichun to taste his cooking skills, but he actually wants to seek a little comfort in his heart.
To a certain extent, Chen Yong has transferred his thoughts about Huiying to everyone who has been familiar with Huiying. Among them, the most important is undoubtedly the sisters of the Emei faction.
"What does a plate of peas taste like? It's better to chop a leg of lamb and nibble on it!"
Seeing this, Abaoru put down the chopsticks he was about to pick peas, and muttered, "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!
Hearing this, Xu Heng, Tang Cong and others couldn't help laughing.
Liao Chuan picked up a bowl of wine and saluted Abaolu: "This brother is very right. Come, I'll give you a bowl!"
"Get out of the way! Lao Tzu doesn't drink with you, a Han man!" Abaolu snorted coldly, and turned to drink with Xiao Yang and Su Hu.
was ruthlessly rejected by Abaolu, and Liao Chuan, who was kind-hearted, had a cloudy and sunny face, so embarrassed.
This scene provoked Liu Xunyi, Xun Qin and others couldn't help laughing, and they laughed one after another.
For a while, the atmosphere in the East Cross Courtyard became more harmonious and lively.
Xu Zhun, Xun Zaishan, Zheng Songren and others took turns to toast with Liu Xunyi. They were in Quanzhou Lufu, and Liu Xunyi had a one-sided relationship, the so-called people in the rivers and lakes are not informal, see you again today, as if you have been friends for many years, unrestrained, and have a good conversation.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, Chen Yong held the plate of yellow crispy peas that had been cooled, and looked anxiously at a side room on the second floor, which was where Huichun lived.
"I said junior sister, why hasn't Senior Sister Huichun come down yet?" Chen Yong anxiously urged.
"Who is your junior sister?" A fair-faced little nun glared at Chen Yong angrily, and said, "Senior sister, she is bathing in the room, how can she come out so quickly?" I think you should not wait, even if the senior sister comes, she will not eat the dishes you cooked. ”
"No, no, no!" Chen Yong shook his head again and again, "I'll go and heat up the dish again." Little junior sister, you go and call Senior Sister Huichun down for me. Tonight, I'm going to give her a taste of my craft anyway. ”
"Don't go ......"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Without waiting for the little nun to complain, Chen Yong begged bitterly, "Please, good junior sister, good junior sister, beautiful little junior sister, go and 'pass' for me." ”
Seeing Chen Yong's indecent appearance of a hippie smile, the little nun's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she turned soft, slowly left the table reluctantly, and walked towards the second floor indignantly.
Seeing this, Chen Yong squeezed his eyes at Liu Xunyi and the others, revealing a smug smile, which immediately attracted another laugh.
"Senior sister, senior sister, Chen Yong told you to go down and try his craftsmanship. Later, you must humiliate and humiliate him. ”
The little nun was alone, muttered to the front of Huichun's room, and shouted loudly into the brightly lit room, "Senior sister, have you washed it?"
The little nun waited for a long time, but there was no response in the room.
"Bang, bang. ”
The little nun was curious, gently tapped on the door, and shouted, "Senior sister, have you washed it?"
What awaited me was another deathly silence.
"Senior sister, I'm in. ”
The little nun frowned, then carefully pushed open the door, and looked into the room while looking into the room, and said with a wicked smile: "Senior sister, you have to get dressed, beware of the spring light......
"Ahh
Before she finished speaking, the little nun's playful laughter suddenly turned into a scream full of fear, which instantly penetrated the entire Peach Blossom Dock, making the lively banquet in the courtyard suddenly quiet.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone's faces changed suddenly, and before anyone could ask, Liu Xunyi and Chen Yong had already taken a beating, and their figures rose to the sky, flew up to the second floor in the blink of an eye, and swept to the little nun's side.
At this moment, the little nun had fainted to the ground, her body pressed against the threshold, the door was half open and half closed, and her life and death were unknown.
Liu Xunyi and Chen Yong glanced at each other with solemn faces, and then the two of them pushed the door open at the same time.
But the next scene that caught their eyes made the hairs on the two of them stand up instantly.
In the room, Huichun's naked body was suspended in the air.
Her body was densely filled with needles and threads, and thousands of threads passed through her body, and finally fixed to the four walls.
The blood flowed like a pour, and the red flowed slowly down her body and along the thin threads, and finally dripped on the ground that was already a pool of blood.
Countless hair-thin threads crisscrossed the room, weaving into a terrifying web of threads, intricate and complex.
Huichun's body becomes the center of these red threads suspended in mid-air, intertwined.
From the center of her forehead and eyebrows to her toes, one after another threads pierced through her body like embroidery, dragging her body alive and hanging in the air, just like ...... A giant doll.
