25. The Mystery Case

Luoyang is not far from Songshan, and it is only a day's work to get a fast horse.

Four days later, Luo Bing finally returned to the capital.

The master of Shaolin Temple has lived in seclusion in Shaolin for more than 40 years, his hair and beard are all white, and it is not easy to live hard from the previous dynasty to the present.

Three days ago, Luo Bing visited the master of Shaolin Kongjian, the master has been attached to the rivers and lakes since he was invited to Dali Temple, and sighed when he met, the rivers and lakes are still unchanged, and he has become unable to see people.

I was very happy to see Luo Bing come to Shaolin to visit, the good cook served a few vegetarian dishes, and the master welcomed Luo Bing with tea instead of wine, and described the trip to Dali Temple in detail, revealing the degeneration of the current rivers and lakes.

Luo Bing also asked him about the recent situation of Master Kongwen, Master Kongwen said that Kongwen had not spoken for nearly ten years, and he had spoken a few words to Master Kongwen when he was still a child, and now he doesn't know if he can speak.

After chatting with Master Kongwen for a while, Luo Bing said that he wanted to meet Master Kongwen.

Master Kongwen didn't know much about the Night Emperor, and he hadn't even met the Night Emperor. It's just that the Red Line Woman and Li Jing have been funded by the Master of Kongwen, and as for the Cold Ice Palm, it is just a change in the meridian reverse refining, and it is not worth mentioning.

Master Kongwen has no impression of the Night Emperor, and the monk who is nearly 100 years old has no possibility of lying, and he has not spoken to anyone in the past ten years, and even his language is dull.

In a word, it takes a long time to explain the seven-seven-eight-eight-eight-eight, Luo Bing even guessed three, three, four, four.

Just as Luo Bing was about to fight his horse back to Luoyang, Master Kongwen was very interested in Luoyang's headless heavenly king, who had such a saying in the Sui period. By the time of the empress, the headless king reached its peak here, and when the folk went viral, the Yin soldiers of culture and culture attacked.

I don't believe the rumors of the headless king, and I insist on meeting. Although Kong Wen is only 100 years old, his body is tough, he has a good life, and he practices and meditates in the morning and evening, I am afraid that the physique of a normal and strong man is not as good as him.

Seeing this, Luo Bing hired a carriage from the foot of Songshan Mountain, and the two slowly hurried back to Dali Temple.

This entry door was not tight, and several officials wiped their tears when they saw Luo Bing.

Luo Bing knew that there was something to do, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so Ouyang Qing would inform him. He was about to walk to the dormitory, but found that the dormitory had become a mourning hall, and the spirit card in the center was actually the spirit position of cold abandonment.

A group of good officials, fast catchers, detectives, and all of them dressed in linen and filial piety became spiritual guards.

The family members were crying sadly, but they couldn't feel the heart-rending pain in their voices, Luo Bing was stunned and understood that Ouyang Qing must have given a lot of money in private.

Since the last invitation to fight, Ouyang Qing and Wen Xing have gone farther and farther away, and Leng Qi has gotten closer and closer, but the officials have not been convinced.

After Lu Changfeng came to Dali Temple, few people died, except for large-scale team battles, this time he died directly to the size of the deputy team, but everyone didn't think so in their hearts, they all thought that Ouyang Qing borrowed a knife to kill.

Everyone was talking in private, but Ouyang Qing heard it in his ears, but he was helpless.

Luo Bing entered, and Ouyang Qing was sitting under the spiritual seat, with a sad but somewhat helpless expression.

Luo Bing was surprised: "What's the matter?"

He knew that Leng Qi was not only Ouyang Qing's right-hand man, but also a good brother who shared life and death, and was also one of the powerful generals of Dali Temple.

You must know that Leng Qi is also a member of the official seal of the four products, and all of them must be reported to the imperial court.

Ouyang Qing was silent, even though he had a stomach full of bitter water, he didn't know where to start, and after a long time, he took a bowl of wine and drank it up his neck before he said in a low voice: "Leng Qi is the only one who died during the day by the headless Heavenly King." ”

Luo Bing hurriedly asked, "How did he die?"

Ouyang Qing gasped and said, "Someone slashed it from the front, and the blade was caught in the jawbone before it could be pulled out." ”

Luo Bing was taken aback and said: "Although the cold abandonment of martial arts is not out of the realm of supernatural realm, it is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and it is also selected to enter Dali Temple." When the world slashed Leng Qi with a knife and made him have no power to fight back, I really don't believe it?"

Ouyang Qing was unconvinced, and said with a cold face: "Li Wuning is one of the masters. ”

Luo Bing frowned and said, "Why do you always stare at Li Wuning, but there is a gap." I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

Leng abandoned and died in the willow forest, he must have found some clues and was killed. Under the sun, how dare the headless heavenly king do anything? ”

Ouyang Qing had a ghost in his heart, but he said coldly: "How do you know that pretending to be a headless heavenly king is not powerful? ”

Luo Bing twisted his sword eyebrows: "The Headless Heavenly King may be a Heavenly Demon or a Night Demon, in short, it must have been confirmed by a person this time."

We are from a public family, and we can't blame the power to mess up, Dali Temple's standard case is the most important to the evidence, how did you forget, and pushed the speculation to the force, but what do you want to say?"

Ouyang Qing was surprised: "I don't need to hide anything, it's just that among the many masters, Li Wuning is now the most suspicious." ”

Luo Bing shook his head impatiently and frowned: "Although Chu Qiushui doesn't use a knife, he can blame others." That day the demon was the most suspicious. ”

Kongwen is old but has the strongest personality, and he entered with Luo Bing, and he didn't say a word, and couldn't help but say at this moment: "It's a human or a ghost, Lao Qu will enter the willow forest tonight, find out, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha." ”

Ouyang Qing's expression was indifferent: "Today is the sacrifice day of cold abandonment, I want to guard his spirit." You and the mage two go. ”

Luo Bing looked at Ouyang Qing carefully, only felt that Ouyang Qing had changed, but he couldn't say where he had changed, it was not worth it to change in his heart, and he looked at Ouyang Qing's eyes with more suspicion.

Thinking like this in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, Shendu has a restaurant that is very famous, called "Vegetarian Restaurant", inviting the master of Kongwen to taste vegetarian dishes and drink some pumpkin juice.

Kongwen went to the vegetarian restaurant and the two of them had a great meal, but Luo Bing brought a pot of wine, drank it happily, and decided to explore the willow forest tonight.

It was the next few days of Gu Yu, and the moon was starry.

At night, the moon is melting, and the sky is even brighter.

A few silvery patches of moonlight shone through the cracks in the willow trees and shone on the green grass on the ground.

Under the faint moonlight, the willow forest dances gently with the wind, which has more comfortable and hazy beauty.

Luo Bing smiled at Master Kongwen and said, "If this is not a headless heavenly king, it is a good place to live, no wonder the first emperor will reward the Ouyang and Hu families, the scenery here is very beautiful." ”

"Amitabha", said: "The old man has lived for many years in his life, and he has never seen the folk legend of the chaotic gods, if he sees it tonight, he will have his life's wish."

It would be a pity if we didn't get it tonight. “

Luo Bing was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly saw empty hearing and listened to the sound, signaling that he was also lying down.

Luo Bing was puzzled, looked around, and gasped.

In the distance of the winding path, I don't know when there is a black cloth barrier, I am afraid that it is more than a zhang high, walking fluttering, not like flesh and blood at all, carrying a huge black thing, I don't know whether it is a knife or a sword, it is exactly the same as the legendary headless king.

Luo Bing's mood at this time was even more uncomfortable than the mood of the sneak attack on the Heavenly Demon that night, and he didn't dare to breathe with his mouth open, so he could only swallow his saliva with difficulty, looking at the erratic headless Heavenly King in front of him.

Seeing that the headless king was floating around, but there was no sword dance as Hu Shiqi said, Luo Bing couldn't help but wonder: "Hu Shiqi said that the king of heaven danced the sword, but today there is none."

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and it seemed that the king of heaven was afraid that I would learn his swordsmanship. ”

Thinking of this, I concluded that it was not a ghost, and my heart was a little fixed, and I was about to shout: "What kind of person pretends to be a ghost!"

Unexpectedly, the martial arts of the master of Kongwen were much higher than Luo Bing, and the Buddha beads in the hands of the "lion roar" and "Amitabha Buddha" flew to the headless king with a whistling sound, and the internal strength kept floating and echoing over the willow forest, Luo Bing admired in his heart, and the master's decades of internal strength were not given in vain.

"Headless Heavenly King" and "Tuk Tuk" received a muffled sound a few times, shook his body a few times, planted a few plants, and almost fell. The King of Heaven was frightened and hurried away into the depths of the willow forest. Master Kongwen was behind Luo Bing, and he only turned over the top of Luo Bing's head, and in a flash, he was behind the Heavenly King, and the "Shaolin Dragon Gripper" raised his hand to grab it, but he didn't grasp the flesh and skin, and grabbed a black drape.

These two rabbits rose and fell, extremely fast, Luo Bing's eyes were dazzling, and the master of empty news had already made a move with the headless king.

The king of heaven ran even harder, and the huge black shadow only flickered and became buried in the black shadow. Although Kong Wen grabbed a piece of clothing, but the clothes seemed to be stained with corpse powder medicine, Kong Wen immediately meditated on the spot and worked hard to force the poison.

Luo Bing saw that Kongwen had already injured the headless king, and he was even more powerful at the moment, afraid of losing his trace, regardless of Kongwen sitting on the ground, he chased after him.

Luo Bing's body method has been mentioned to the extreme, and there is a gap between him and the master of Kongwen, and the distance of four zhang is only a moment, but Luo Bing can only be more than a zhang.

Although the headless Heavenly King was injured, he was still able to move quickly, and he didn't answer at his feet, but he was always dozens of steps away from Luo Bing, and the ground seemed to be dripping with black blood.

The forest was even darker, and the moon shadow could no longer shine, Luo Bing suddenly realized that the trace of the headless king was gone.

I felt that the Heavenly King seemed to sink into the pond.

My heart was strange, and I was about to mention the urgency, when I suddenly felt a softness under my feet, and I almost fell into, and then I remembered that this was the swamp that Hu Shiqi said, and the headless king jumped up from the swamp.

I remembered that Hu Shiqi once said that all strange forces and chaos are hidden under the surface, and the swamp is the best place, and I couldn't help but secretly say: "When someone in the world can disappear in front of my eyes without a sound, unless they are burrowed into the swamp." Could it be that the Headless Heavenly King really lives in an underground hell?"

casually touched the injured and low thing of the Heavenly King, it was sticky and smelly, it turned out to be blood, Luo Bing must have someone pretending to be the Headless Heavenly King now.

Just thinking to himself, a woman's cry for help was faintly heard in the distance: "Help...... Help......"

The sound is far and near, high and low, ethereal and faint, the sound seems to be familiar, and the inner strength is poured into the sound to follow the past.

The willow forest is dense, the moonlight is impermeable, and Luo Bing's ears can be propped up.

Already stretched out his fingers, Luo Bing was holding the fire fold of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall in his arms, this small piece of fire fold was tens of thousands of taels of silver, the fire fold of the Thunderbolt Hall would not be extinguished by wind and rain, no matter how strong the wind and how much rain could not be blown out or extinguished, as long as the fire was folded, it would be automatically extinguished.

Many officials and dignitaries, and the heroes of the green forest are wearing the fire of the Thunderbolt Hall, which is not something you can buy with money.

The fire fold was scratched, and the fire was bright.

It turned out that Satsuki was half covered in the swamp, and the mud had reached her chest.

Luo Bing took a deep breath, although most of the edges of the swamp were extremely shallow, at most not up to the waist, but seeing that Xiaoyue was so anxious and hideous, how dare he be careless, step by step, he made sure that he was stepping on the ground, and he was close to Xiaoyue, holding the fire fold in one hand, and reaching over to pull her up with the other.

When her hands touched, half of Xiao Yue's face suddenly turned blood red, and her face was hideous!

Luo Bing only felt an extremely strong force coming from his palm, as if he was about to suck all the essence and blood out of his body.

He was on guard, and when he took a deep breath, he suddenly spit out, and even saw that two elephant-like fangs stretched out from the corner of Xiaoyue's mouth, biting towards his neck, his palm was convex and desperately struggling, and the internal force was sent forward, and the suction was light, Luo Bing couldn't stop it, and flew straight back with his strength.

Here Luo Bing landed a "oolong churning pillar" and spun up, afraid that the king of heaven would continue to fight, and this move would eliminate and defend.

When Luo Bing turned over and got up, Xiao Yue in the swamp had disappeared.

When Luo Bing looked at it intently, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Only the blood on his own hand proved the existence of the Headless Heavenly King.

The road was hard to find in the dark, and the farther you went, the stronger the feeling of being followed.

Fortunately, although Master Kongwen was poisoned, his internal strength was really profound, not only forced the poison, but he meditated on the spot with his hands folded, and the vajra cover covered his whole body, making a piercing "buzzing" sound, and Luo Bing followed the sound.

Turning his head suddenly, the previous headless Heavenly King floated in the willow treetops, and now the moonlight could be seen clearly!

Luo Bing wanted to shout in his heart, but he couldn't exhale, and he was sitting side by side with Master Kongwen at the moment.

The headless king saw that the two of them were sitting, they seemed to be injured, and their courage seemed to be bigger, and they were floating around again, Luo Bing turned a blind eye, and the master of empty news silently used his internal strength, and put his palm against Luo Bing's waist.

Luo Bing only felt that an extremely strong true power penetrated his whole body, stored in the dantian, intending to be the first to close his eyes and listen.

The headless Heavenly King turned around a few times and was sure that the two of them could no longer move, so he suddenly pulled out a huge black sword from his waist and slashed it down with a sword, this momentum was by no means lost to the "Heavenly King Ghost Slaying Knife" of the Miao Heavenly King of the Miao Family in Guizhou back then.

The master of the empty hearing did not accept the strength of the palm, and when the giant sword reached the door of the brain, the "Amitabha" put his palms together, and the two palms of "Tongzi worshipping Guanyin" clamped the giant sword.

Luo Bing's whole body strength and the internal strength passed by the master of Kongwen all charged his right palm at this time, and he struck out with one palm, even if King Kong's body was not bad, it had to be cracked, and the internal strength was extremely strong.

The Headless Heavenly King didn't seem to expect this change, his waist was firmly slapped, and there was a loud "bang", and a large mouthful of black erupted from the headless Heavenly King's cavity, Luo Bing and Kongwen Iron Plate Bridge lay down, and the black was swept from the face, and the fishy smell overflowed, but the blood from the slap was spit out.

The Heavenly King retreated vigorously, and with a "snap" the black giant sword broke, the Heavenly King retreated backwards, Luo Bing was about to stab with his sword, and the Heavenly King disappeared again.

The sky was already dark, and the east was getting whiter.

Luo Bing only felt that he was out of strength, as if he had experienced a serious illness, looked back at the green willow forest, and said in his heart that the king of heaven was also injured a lot, and he would never come out again for ten days and a half months.

The master of the empty news next to him gradually fell unconscious, Luo Bing was surprised in his heart, and under the pulse, it was the loss of true yuan that caused him to fall into a coma, and he wanted to recover after a few days of rest.

It turned out that the empty luck and power to force the poison had consumed the true yuan very much, and he worked hard to output it to Luo Bing, and used the remaining strength to run out of oil and the lamp to clamp the giant sword, at this time it was already exhausted and the lamp was dry, of course, he was unconscious.

Luo Bing's heart was put down at this time, and he looked down to see that what he was holding tightly in his hand was actually the broken sword, and the sword body was no bigger than the sword used by Mei Changzhu, but it was wrapped in a black wooden box outside, which made the sword extremely huge.

Ouyang Qing's voice came from his ears, and he saw that the sky was already bright, and there were Dali Temple catchers and officials all around, Ouyang Qing stood aside, looking at the two people who were lying and sitting, and their faces were quite strange.

Luo Bing smiled bitterly, supporting himself and wanting to stand up, but he felt sore, and struggled a few times before he barely got up.

Ouyang Qing looked at his tired appearance and said strangely: "You fought with someone last night?"

Luo Bing shook his head: "I had a big battle with the Heavenly King last night, although I suffered a lot, he also couldn't solve the tricks, and it took a lot of physical strength." ”

Ouyang Qing took the pulse for him, and said with a smile: "The true qi in your body is greatly consumed, you must have had a hard fight last night?"

Luo Bing thought about it repeatedly in his heart, although the fight last night was ruthless, it didn't last long, and it wouldn't damage the true yuan. It seems that this feeling of exhaustion has been felt since escaping from Xiao Yue's hands, could it be that a few pulls have consumed so much true qi?

knew the relationship between Ouyang Qing and Xiaoyue in his heart, but Luo Bing didn't say it.

Thinking of this, he didn't say much, and he was very relieved of Ouyang Qing's heart.

Ouyang Qing saw that he was unconscious, and ordered someone to help him into the carriage he brought, and a group of more than a dozen people went back to Dali Temple first to make plans.
