Volume 2: Nanke's Dream Chapter 11: The Mask

Yin Qiu's side, as soon as he escaped from Shuiyue Tower and returned to his stronghold in Yuancheng, he reacted that something was wrong.

What kind of bastard is that old thing in Chenya County, Yin Qiu is very clear, in the past ten years of his reign, it is not the slightest insensitivity to the people's feelings, how greedy and greedy, once a scholar gave this county guard a golden plaque, with four big characters on it: The sky is three feet high.

This kind of behavior is proper thinking.

The old guard of Morning Ya County was dizzy and confused, but the staff under him were all top people.

Looking at these four words, isn't this a disguised scolding of our master for being greedy for money, looting the people's fat and ointment, and the land is three feet thin?

It's not that they are loyal and eager to protect the lord, but they are all rushing for the reward of the county keeper and exposing the scholar's intentions in person.

So the staff were rewarded, but the scholar was stabbed and chopped into puree, which was really fed to the dogs, and since then, no one dared to play any tricks in this regard, and the county guard of Chenya County became more and more arrogant.

And what kind of food does Hongmen eat? The one who is in the business of collecting protection money.

However, this Hongmen doesn't want to be like those ruffians and hooligans, they can only bully and bully the poor, and their targets are all those rich businessmen, so the real misery is not these poor people, but those rich people.

was squeezed by the county guard, and then squeezed by the Hongmen, the pressure from both sides, the rich people couldn't stand it, and they couldn't get anything out of the money.

Some people say, which is more important, money or life? That is naturally the importance of life, but there is really a hard neck is not afraid of death, and Hongmen is not good to really hack to death, you must know, killing chickens and eggs, this is only a temporary wealth, not a long-term solution, so the Hongmen gang leader came up with an idea.

Naturally, if you are messing around on this territory in Chenya County, you always have to respect the landlord all of a sudden, isn't it? What's more, the one in the Hongmen said that he should keep a low profile and not provoke the forces of the imperial court and the cultivation realm, so Yin Qiu naturally didn't dare.

So, he reduced the exploitation from the rich merchants, and sent this piece of fat to the county guard's mouth, which was a trick to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, not only to establish a good relationship with the county guard, but also to give the rich merchants a little way to live.

Up to now, Yin Qiu also has his own business, such as those casinos in Yuancheng, 80% of which are owned by Hongmen, and they are all covered by the county guard of Chenya County, because Yin Qiu shares 30% of his profits to him every year, so Yin Qiu thought, why does the old bastard of the county guard still transfer troops to move me?

But this large and small handicap business, Hongmen was destroyed by the Di Ao leader, who will do the business?

So when Yin Qiu came back to his senses, he found that he was fooled by Di Ao's bluff, he was angry and annoyed, so he almost pulled out his sword to relieve his anger at once for the little brother next to him.

Do you say that he is afraid of this Di Ao? Isn't he still afraid of Di Ao's court clothes and body? If it is an ordinary head catcher, forget it, the key is that this Di Ao has a reputation and is deeply popular with the people, so the low-key Hongmen has to let him score three points, and he is not willing to be too public.

I heard that the people who had closed their Hongmen in Quyu Town before went to Shuiyue Tower and arrested many of their subordinates, such as Pei Qi, a close confidant of the second gang leader.

Isn't this a candle lit in a pit and looking for death?

So he immediately repaired a book and asked people to send it to the county guard, and then said to Yang Chang next to him: "Whoever you call to go, kill that guy named Di Ao directly." ”

———————————————

Night falls.

"There's probably one more place I haven't looked up yet. ”

Di Ao patted Jiujiu's shoulder and said, "Just ask you to go over for me first to see what the situation is, although the dead fat pig named Pei Qi is a dog leg of Yang Chang, but it is also a high-level, I will interrogate him for a while to see if he knows anything." ”

Jiujiu was dressed in gray, holding a sword in his arms, raising his eyebrows and smiling: "What are you polite to me, say, where is it?"

Di Ao looked south, pointed at Yaoyao, and said, "Urn City." ”

"Wengcheng?" Luo Liangqiu heard this, walked out from behind Jiujiu, smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence, we plan to go to Wengcheng next stop." ”

Jiujiu looked at the white-clothed young man who was half of his apprentice, and said: "Di Zhutou and I are going to investigate the case, not to go to the mountains and rivers, and besides, if you are linked to Hongmen, you may be in danger if you follow." ”

Luo Liangqiu said with a smile: "Nahongmen can find out our location, wouldn't it be more dangerous to leave you? Maybe they will catch up and kill you halfway down the road, Jiujiu, can you rest assured?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Jiujiu's shoulder, and Jiujiuyi frowned, as if there was indeed such a possibility, so he asked Di Ao and said, "Then when will we leave?"

Di Ao looked at the starry sky, but he didn't expect that this headcatcher with a square personality could also say something freehand:

"While the moon is still bright. ”

———————————————

Pei Qi in prison was tied to a shelf, naked, and covered in blood and wounds.

He was almost dying.

Di Ao has never shown mercy to these villains, I don't know how many people this dead fat pig has harmed, and now it is light to leave him a life.

He looked at what Pei Qi confessed at this time, which was not helpful for this case, but there was a lot of evidence of Hongmen's crimes.

What made him care was that Pei Qi said that he had taken a look at the financial ledger in the Hongmen, and a large amount of money had been moved out, and it was not the one given to the county guard, so he didn't know what it was for.

Dio went to his room and placed the confession book on the table.

Next to the confession book, there is also a mask.

The mask had a strange expression, smiling rather than laughing, crying rather than crying, and there were two fangs on the side of its mouth.

This is the only thing he found from the scene of the crime in Maple Leaf City.

This is also the reason why he came to Yuancheng so late.

Like this kind of mask, those vendors didn't sell 10,000 a year, but 8,000, so Di Ao took this mask to investigate from place to place.

For this reason, he also found painters, according to the descriptions of various vendors, painted the appearance of the suspects, and then posted wanted notices everywhere to find these people.

There are alibi certificates for all those found, there are more witnesses, and those who are not found are still searching, and there is no news for the time being, so he didn't tell Jiujiu and them, Di Ao felt that it was not necessary.

He looked at the mask in deep thought, and the moonlight that poured in through the cracks in the doors and windows slowly faded, so that the light in the room was only the light of the fire coming from the stove next to him.

I don't know when there were a lot of dark clouds in the sky.

The so-called dark clouds close the moon, and the Bodhisattva closes his eyes, thinking that there will be a fierce battle.

Di Ao tilted his head slightly, and he could catch a glimpse of a figure standing in the doorway.

When did he come in?

Di Ao was secretly frightened in his heart, if he had come in before him to set up an ambush, he would not have heard his heartbeat at all after entering the door.

is so quiet, he must be a master.

Looking at the other big earrings on the man's ears, he remembered the barbarian he had seen in Shuiyue Tower during the day, and suddenly realized.

It turned out that this was someone from Hongmen.

He sneered, his hand was already on the mask, and said, "What's the matter? Now that Hongmen even dares to move the people of the imperial court?

The barbarian didn't talk much nonsense to him, and when he flew forward, he threw a punch, only to see that the fist was fierce, and all the candles in the room were extinguished, and he fell into darkness.

Di Ao had already prepared, turned around in an instant, held the mask in his left hand, and directly buckled it on the barbarian's face, and directly grasped the incoming punch with his right hand, and then used force with both hands, intending to push him away for a distance, kicking him away.

Unexpectedly, this barbarian didn't even use his other hand, and he exerted his strength violently, and directly hit Di Ao's chest with that punch.

Di Ao didn't expect his strength to be so great, he took this punch hard, only to feel a burst of true qi from his chest, his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, just right all on the mask.

The strange mask was stained with blood, and suddenly emitted a hint of red.

The barbarian was about to punch Di Ao through directly, when suddenly, a row of bone spurs sprouted from the edge of the mask, which plunged directly into the barbarian's brain.

The brute screamed in pain, withdrew his hand, hugged his face, tried to rip the mask off his face, and then struggled and fell to the ground, writhing like a worm.

Di Ao was relieved of the strength of the barbarians, calmed the internal force in his body, and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.

He had no idea what was going on.

Gradually, the barbarian stopped, motionless as if dead.

Di Ao didn't dare to take it lightly, and slowly approached.

With his eyesight, and then the strange red light emitted by the mask, he could clearly see a row of bone spurs piercing into the barbarian's head.

This made him feel a little shocked, this ordinary person is bound to die if he is injured like this, what is this mask?

But in addition to being shocked, Di Ao found that there was no blood flowing out of the wound at all, but the mask became brighter and brighter, and the red turned blood.

———————————————

On the carriage, Luo Liangqiu was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards Yuancheng.

I saw that a light blue light gradually emanated from his body, and the wisps floated into the air through the car, and they gathered into a translucent "Luo Liangqiu" that was exactly the same regardless of size or appearance.

This is clearly a means to do it only by leaving the divine realm.

It's called the original baby's out-of-body.

This detached Yuan Infant flew straight towards Yuan City.

Jiujiu, who was driving the carriage, seemed to sense all this, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

———————————————

Looking at the red light, Di Ao couldn't help but think of the dried corpses in these cases.

Is there a connection with this?

He was thinking about it, when something happened again, and he didn't know why the light of the mask had disappeared.

Di Ao frowned, and was about to lean forward to take a closer look.

Suddenly, the barbarian's hand rushed towards Di Ao's neck, Di Ao had already taken precautions, and in a panic, he hurriedly dodged, but his shoulder still fell into his hand.

Di Ao only felt that the five fingers of that hand were sinking into his own flesh, crushing his bones, the severe pain made him unable to try a little strength, he only felt his blood like a reverse current, rushing to the barbarian's fingers.

He could clearly feel that his blood was being sucked out, which meant that his life was also passing.

What about the sword?

Where's my sword?

Di Ao wanted to cut off his arm, because he couldn't get rid of the pincer of this hand, but in the darkness, he couldn't find it, he couldn't find the sword light that had accompanied him for many years.

The barbarian's other hand rested on the mask.

The bone spurs on the edge of the mask had receded at some point, and he pinched the mask and threw it to the side, only to see that the mask had landed right in the stove, surrounded by flames.

"Blood...... Blood...... I had never felt such a wonderful feeling, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated, and the incomparably surging power flowed through my body. ”

The barbarian seemed to be talking to himself, and Di Ao had no strength at this time, and vaguely heard him say, "Thank you...... My great Blood Demon Lord is an honor to give me such supreme power and to be able to serve you. ”

Bloodseeker?

What kind of Rausch thing is that?

Am I going to die? at the hands of some bloodfiend?

I'm the number one catcher in Morningtooth......

I will punish the evil and promote the good......

I want to put an end to violence......

I want to change this filthy world......

I don't want to die......

Can anyone come to my rescue?

Di Ao couldn't open his eyes a little, he opened his mouth slightly, made a muffled voice, and muttered, "I'll just ...... Is that the end of it......"

It seemed that the heavens had really heard his call, and when Di Ao was dying, he saw a faint blue light and walked in directly from outside the door.

Then he closed his eyes, and only heard the barbarian scream, as if he was still saying something: "This is impossible!

Whatever.

Somewhat tired.

I'll go to rest first.

———————————————

The carriage was still heading towards the Urn City.

Luo Liangqiu's body suddenly paused, and slowly opened his eyes.

For some reason, he can't be away from his mind for a long time now, and the mana consumed in a big battle is a bit large, so Luo Liangqiu stretched his waist with Hache, and hummed in his mouth: "Save someone's life......"

Before he finished speaking, the gray-clothed man driving the carriage continued: "Win the seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

After hearing this, Luo Liangqiu was obviously stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Jiujiu's back, also thoughtful.

———————————————

When Di Ao woke up, it was already the next day.

The early morning light shone on his face, and Di Ao gradually regained consciousness.

He looked at the ceiling above, stretched out his hand, as if to touch it, and muttered, "Difu...... Is that what it looks like?"

Then he woke up suddenly, sat up quickly, and saw a corpse with a pierced chest lying in front of him, and he recognized it, it was the Hongmen barbarian who came last night.

The room was covered with dried blood, which was shocking.

It doesn't seem to be a dream......

So how did you survive?

He tried to move his shoulder, but found no pain, and then looked down to see that there were still five finger holes in the garment, but his wound was healed.

Di Ao thought of the blue light before he completely fainted.

So what?

He frowned, and before he could think about it, Di Ao's eyes suddenly widened, and he rolled over to the furnace.

Inside the mouth of the furnace was a pile of ashes.

In the midst of the ashes, one could faintly see something buried in it.

Di Ao looked at the thing with a complicated expression.

He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a long time before reaching inside.

Di Ao took the thing out, and wiped it with his sleeve, ignoring the ashes on it.

It was a strange mask that seemed to smile but not laugh, and seemed to cry but not cry.
