Chapter 27: Serial Killers

The next day, Leng Yuhu and others were gossiping in the living room, and the owner of Huang Zhai explained the purpose of coming to the villa to Zhang Guangzhen, and said that Zhang Erzhong was at the junction of Hebei and Henan, pretending to be the fair king of South Taihang and killing Lord Yang Jude, who impeached Yan Song, in order to provoke the struggle between the cottages in the north and south of Taihang. Then he killed Yuan Su and Yuan Zhai's owner of Gruzui Cottage, and pretended to be the deputy owner of the village to compete for the position of the chief village owner in Tuguanya Cottage, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the cottages, and told Zhang Guangzhen Zhang Zhuang in 1510.

Zhang Guangzhen endured his anger, his chest fell together, and he was so angry that he got up and said, "This brute has wasted my usual teachings. He was the son of my eldest brother, and his father was wounded and died in the battle with the Huns. Which of my Zhang family is not a loyal and brave person, and it is like this beast who is a person who chases fame and fortune. He learned archery and went down the mountain to the capital, and when he left, he stole a spirit snake sword book. This is a chivalrous warrior in Hunan, someone on the rivers and lakes falsely accused him of getting a copy of the "Book of Immortals", and the group chased and killed him, he was seriously injured and had nowhere to escape, so he fled to my village. Before he died, he gave me the sword book and asked me to try to pass it on to the descendants of the Spirit Snake Villa. I'll pack up and go to Beijing and settle accounts with this brute. ”

Speaking of the "Book of Immortals", Leng Yuhu thought that outside Sugu County, Zhang Mouzi and **Jun stabbed each other to death for this "Book of Immortals". What kind of book is this "Book of Immortals"? Because it is the first time I have intersected with Zhang Zhuang, it is inconvenient to talk about it.

That light was really angry, and he was about to go out before he finished speaking. At this time, a family member hurriedly ran into the hall and reported: "Master, it's not good, Zhang Qing was killed." ”

Zhang Guangzhen was stunned and said: "My village has always been peaceful...... Check it out. ”

Leng Yuhu and others came to Zhang Qing's house, and the deceased had been placed on the wooden board in the house by his family. The owner of Zhang Zhuang opened the reed mat, and there was a blood mark on the throat of the deceased.

Mr. Xu Wentao, who rushed to hear the news, asked, "Who does Zhang Qing have a grudge with recently?"

The family said, "No." He is usually the most honest, no one can be offended, and no one will say a cruel word. ”

Xu Wentao asked, "What kind of belongings are missing from the family?"

"Nothing less. ”

Xu Wentao frowned and asked, "When did you find out that he was killed?"

"Last night, I heard him open the door and go out, but I didn't care, and when I got up early in the morning, he died outside the door. ”

Xu Wentao touched the scar on his throat with his hand and said, "It's a sword stabbing wound." A sword kills. Then he was silent, and finally said to Zhang Zhuang: "It's not a vendetta, it's not a murder for money, it's not a murder, it's killed for no reason." This killer is coming tonight, and the owner of Zhang Zhuang must send more people to keep vigil at night. ”

Zhuang Ding was killed, this is still a rare thing, for a while Zhuang Shang made people panic, young people are wiping swords, drawing bows and practicing arrows, preparing to fight at night.

At night, the Zhuang Ding scattered and hid in places where the killers might have passed. Leng Yuhu and Ye Mucui hid together, so close that they could feel each other's breath, their hearts stayed between each other, but their eyes were vigilantly staring around, not letting go of any wind and grass.

The night has been three watches, the mountain villa is quiet, there is not even the sound of dogs, occasionally from the mountain dense forest from the night cry of birds.

"Dead man, dead man......" suddenly exclaimed, breaking the silence of the night. Leng Yuhu and Ye Mucui quickly ran towards the exclamation. Lying across the broken wall was a dead man who had been hiding behind the broken wall before being killed by the killer. After the people arrived, Zhang Zhuang turned the deceased's body over to find the wounds, and blood flowed from his chest. Turning over his clothes, there was a wound on his chest, the blood had not coagulated, and the killer had not gone far, Zhang Zhuang said: "Chase ......"

The Zhuang Ding scattered to chase, but after half a day, they came back one by one dejectedly, in the vast dark night, where to find the serial killer?

Xu Wentao touched the wound with his fingers, raised his head, and said to everyone: "You see, this wound is a sword stabbing wound, but it is slightly more slender than the tip of an ordinary sword." Such a sword is really rare, but it is also special. You can find this killer from this sword. But the problem is, we haven't found him yet, and he's still going to kill people. Does he have such a grudge against Zhuang?"

Zhang Zhuang couldn't answer, Sweeping Leaves Villa lives in the northern Xinjiang, rarely interacts with people in the rivers and lakes, does not participate in the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, and does not have a grudge with the court. Although they have killed many invading Hun knights, they have never been this method of killing.

Leng Yuhu pulled Huang not far away from a place far away from the crowd and whispered to him: "Is this the sect leader of the Hexagram Sect coming to seek revenge, we killed his four protectors, killed his brothers who looked like him, and chased him in Zijin County." He fled back to his lair and found that the Negative Hexagram Sect had been destroyed, so he followed us all the way here, seeking revenge on us, and killing one person every night to vent his anger. His sword was thin and long. ”

Huang Buyuan said: "I didn't have many tricks with him, but I didn't notice the sword in his hand." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "I fought with him for dozens of rounds, and I recognized his sword, which was thin and long, and his swordsmanship was strange, yin and ruthless." ”

Huang Buyuan asked: "He is in the shadows, intent on revenge, how can we find him?"

Leng Yuhu smiled: "I know him. As he spoke, he lowered his head and whispered in Huang Buyuan's ear. Leng Yuhu confessed: "When the time comes, he can't be allowed to open his mouth to speak, a sword will kill him, or the owner of Zhang Zhuang knows that we brought the negation sect leader, and he won't be able to get over it." ”

Huang Buyuan said: "This is natural." ”

The two of them had a certain plan, pretending to have nothing to do, and just waiting for tomorrow night to act.

In this way, I was frightened and made trouble for half the night. The next day, rumors abounded, all of which were rumored that the killer had targeted the people in the village, and they were all going to be killed, leaving no women and children. Some of them discussed together about escaping from the lodge.

During the day, nothing happened, and the wind and waves were calm.

This night, the owner of Zhang Zhuang mobilized all the young people in the village, no one could sleep, and he was strictly guarded, and he was determined to find out the serial killer.

Leng Yuhu quietly pulled the sleeve of the owner of the village, and the owner of the village understood and followed to the side. Leng Yuhu said: "I looked around with the lord of Huangzhai during the day, and found that in the valley to the west, in front of the ancestral tomb of Zhuangshang, there was something strange, where the sheep herders did not go, and found a slight shoe print. I and the owner of the Yellow Village have conspired, and the serial killer must be hiding in the grave. ”

Master Zhang Zhuang wondered, "Who would hide in that place, is the killer a ghost?"

Leng Yuhu said: "This is a perverted serial murderer, and he can't act with common sense." Master Zhang, this murderer's martial arts are very weird, and he is vicious, so he can kill with a sword. I plan to go with my junior sister, Huang Zhai, and Zhang Zhuang to besiege him. Zhang Gongzi and Yang Gongzi hid everywhere in the village to prevent the murderer from coming to the village from elsewhere to kill people. ”

Zhang Guangzhen said: "Okay, Brother Leng Xian has thought it through, and he will act according to your plan." ”

So Zhang Guangzhen rearranged the people in the village. Then, Zhang Guangzhen and his entourage quietly left Zhuangshang and came to the Zhuangxi Valley silently. This is the ancestor of the Zhang family, inaccessible, with waist-length grass and a few inches of fallen leaves, but fortunately there is a small stone road leading to the cemetery. The four of them bent on their waists and walked quickly, without making a sound at all.

Come to the cemetery. There are dozens of large and small graves, and high and low tombstones stand at night. Leng Yuhu made a gesture, and the four of them scattered and ambushed everywhere. At this time, the moon has risen into the sky, the night fog is misty, the wind blows the leaves, the night birds are strange, the grass and insects are chirping, as if there is a ghost swimming in the forest, it is suddenly gone, and it is eerie and terrifying. Although Zhang Guangzhen is the owner of the village, he is also the first time to come here at night, there seems to be a white shadow in the forest in front of him, busy staring at it, where is there still a hurry? Leng Yuhu hid in the dense grass and did not move, staring at the mound vigilantly, for a long time, there was no movement at all.

Leng Yuhu looked to the right, and Ye Mucui was looking at him, his eyes shining like stars.
