Chapter 7 What is an external force?
Pu'er looked back and saw Li Xiangri and Luo Yun standing on the roof, it turned out that Li Xiangri and Luo Yun happened to be staying in a nearby tavern, and they just rushed over when they heard the sound of fighting. Pu'er thought that they were really reinforcements, and sneered: "Hehe, I grabbed a little thief and let the Praetorian Guards all dispatch, it seems that I am really famous!" Although he said this, he thought of a way to get out in his heart.
Luo Yun scolded: "It's notorious, you rats, everyone can get it." As he spoke, he rushed down, and Pu'er pondered while guarding against whether there was still an ambush: "This is too underestimating me, just two Praetorian Guards want to catch me." ”
Pu'er stretched out the posture and held the knife in his right hand, just waiting for Luo Yun to come over, only to see Luo Yun throw out the wooden box behind him, pull out the three-foot-long Fang Tian painting halberd from it, grab the tail end and shake the weapon vigorously, and the weapon stretched out nearly three feet. Pu'er was stunned, this is a weapon used by a general in battle, how can it be used in the hands of the Praetorian Guard, is the opponent a general, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
How could Luo Yun give him so much time to think, the halberd had already been cut down, Pu'er waved the knife to block, and the "wow" weapons collided with sparks, Pu'er slipped backwards for a distance only to feel that his arm was numb, and the knife almost flew out of his hand, and before Pu'er came back to his senses, Luo Yun's second move cut down again, Pu'er hurriedly changed his left hand to hold the knife, and dragged the back of the knife with his right hand, transporting the internal force to the blade. "Oh" again, the bluestone slab under Pu'er's feet cracked, and a burst of cold light dispersed. Although Pu'er blocked the second blow, he almost ran out of strength, and if the opponent attacked again, he would definitely be useless.
It's just that he didn't know that Luo Yun had exhausted all his strength in these two moves, and he would no longer be able to use the offensive just now. Seeing this, Li Xiangri threw out the fan in his hand and flew towards Pu'er, Pu'er has already practiced to see and listen to all directions, and hurriedly waved the knife to block, but he couldn't stop it, the knife came out of his hand, and a bloody wound was cut out of the fan on his chest, Pu'er covered the wound with one hand, and said: "Hmph, Lao Tzu, I was unlucky today, I was calculated by the two of you, I will definitely avenge this revenge, after speaking, I turned around and jumped on the roof and disappeared." ”
Luo Yun was about to catch up, but Li Xiangri stopped him: "Don't chase, that thing has a lot of eyes, beware of fraud, today is to find out his strength, there will be a chance in the future, not to mention that we have other tasks." ”
Luo Yun answered, picked up the wooden box, and put the weapon in.
This is the reason why Pu'er disappeared during this time.
Time back to the present, Ren Xiao brought back Feng Shang from the tavern, and someone had already told Ren Xiao what had happened. Ren Xiao, who was at a loss, knew that if he couldn't deal with Pu'er in time, he would be too sorry for Old Man Feng.
Feng Shang was also sullen after he woke up, firstly, because he didn't catch Pu'er, but he said a big thing, and secondly, he failed to take advantage of Luo Yun even if he used his housekeeping skills. The two brothers were depressed with their own worries.
After another two days, Ren Xiao and Fengshang personally led the team to patrol the streets, and suddenly a catcher ran over and said with a panicked expression: "Boss, Pu'er...... Pu'er is dead!"
"What?"
Ren Xiao thought he had heard it wrong for a while, and asked again: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Na Yu quickly gasped and said, "Really, Pu'er is dead! Someone found his body, and Brother Ma was there to guard it, so I hurried to find you." Ren Xiao made sure that he had heard correctly.
Feng Shang sighed and said, "Sure enough, our skills are not as good as others!" Ren Xiao didn't care about him, and said to his subordinates: "Lead the way, go and see it immediately." ”
Soon, Ren Xiao and the others came to a dry well at the foot of the city wall, only to see that Ma Long had already asked people to protect the scene, and the onlookers were driven aside.
Without waiting for Ren Xiao to get closer, he heard someone among the people: "It's really God's eyes! This has finally been punished!" Someone immediately chimed in: "Who said it wasn't! This beast should have been like this a long time ago, phew!" Ren Xiao didn't have much energy to pay attention to these gossips, and Ma Long immediately greeted him when he saw Ren Xiao coming.
Ren Xiao got straight to the point and said: "Do you have any clues? Who did it?" Ma Long arched his hand and said: "I can't see who the murderer is, but he seems to have been burned to death." Feng Shang walked straight to the corpse, looked at the charred Pu'er, and thought for a while: "Strange, since it was burned to death, why are the clothes intact?" Ma Long touched the back of his head and said: "I am also so suspicious, do you say that the original clothes were burned, and then the murderer gave him another one?" Before he finished speaking, Ma Long felt that his guess was too ridiculous, but there was really no better explanation.
Ren Xiao questioned: "Could it be that the two people in the tavern did it?" Feng Shang stood up and refused: "Impossible, the one who fought with me obviously won't use this kind of external force." But when he thought that the other party still had accomplices, Feng Shang fell into deep thought again.
"External force, what are you talking about?" Ren Xiao asked curiously, Feng Shang touched his chin and said, " Actually, I just heard my father say that it is a supernatural power, very few people can practice it, if someone practices it, then this person can integrate a natural power for their own use, you see, this Pu'er was obviously burned to death by fire, but the clothes were not burned, we can judge from the traces of the fight on his clothes, he was wearing this clothes when he died, so I guess that the person who killed the Pu'er will definitely use the ability of fire, and only in this way can he ignore the clothes and attack the flesh directly. ”
Ren Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard it, he had never heard of these things. Ren Xiao held back his curiosity and continued to ask, "Then in your opinion, what should we do now?" Feng Shang thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to find my father first and ask him what he thinks, this matter is far beyond the scope of you and me." ”
Ren Xiao nodded, but thought in his heart: "This world is so amazing, so interesting!"
Immediately, Pu'er's body was carried back to the yamen, and a notice was issued to the people that Pu'er was dead.
In the crowd, Luo Yun and Li Xiangri lowered their straw hats and left the scene in a hurry.
That night, Ren Xiao and Feng Shang examined the body again, but there was still no progress. The next morning, the two hurried back to Feng Shang's house.
As soon as he entered the house, Feng Shang sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. When the housekeeper saw that Feng Shang was back, he was stunned at first, and hurriedly went to inform Old Man Feng. Feng Shang thought to himself: "Could it be that I haven't been out for a long time, and now I feel strange at home as soon as I go out?" Ren Xiao didn't notice these thoughts of his brother.
"Why are you back?" Mrs. Yin was taken aback when she saw Feng Shang, but Feng Shang didn't notice the fleeting horror on his mother's face because he had something in his heart.
