Chapter XVII: Assassination
Night finally came, Lin Chen's heart was like fifteen buckets - seven up and eight down, although the route back and forth had been arranged in advance, but still nervous.
Lin Chen carried the bulging big cloth bag on his back, bent over, and trotted to the courtyard.
Originally, Lin Chen wanted to find a place to stay in the vicinity until the evening, but there were too many eyeliners nearby, which was really inconvenient, so he went home.
After a long time, he finally arrived at his destination and walked under the wall, "Ancestor helps!" Qingyu Ancestor didn't speak, Lin Chen only felt a strong spiritual power surging into his body and flying up the wall.
Lin Chen hid the cloth bag in a corner of the west wall, and there was only a machete wrapped in cloth on his back, tonight was a full moon night, and if he carried the knife directly behind his back, it would inevitably reflect the light, and it would definitely be discovered by the patrolling family.
Because of this, Lin Chen wore a dark blue night robe and covered his face, so that he could blend in with the surrounding environment as much as possible. Black night clothes are generally worn at night when you can't see your fingers, and it is still somewhat conspicuous to wear black on full moon nights.
Although it was an old machete, after Lin Chen bought it back, it took a lot of effort to get the appearance of a knife, after all, this is very useful.
After a while, he came to a window, took out a very small wooden pigeon from his arms, soaked his fingers at the corners of his mouth, gently pierced the window paper, put the pigeon's mouth in, gently shook the pigeon's tail, followed three circles, and then three times in turn, and then withdrew the pigeon and squatted under the window.
This pigeon was often used by assassins, and Lin Chen naturally didn't have it before, but Qingyu Ancestor gave Lin Chen a book, about assassins, the pigeon contained ecstasy, which could be released by shaking its tail.
Lin Chen only made the pigeon out of wood with a lot of effort, and the ecstasy in it still asked his grandfather for a little bit, but it could only make the martial artist of the foundation building realm unconscious for half an hour.
Although with the help of Qingyu Ancestor, they can be directly unconscious, but if they can use less Qingyu Ancestor's power, they can use less, after all, they still have to store an extremely large amount of spiritual power to break the dream for themselves!
Following the small hole in the window, I saw that the two people inside were already lying on the table, and without hesitation, I hurriedly flew up to the room, uncovered some tiles, and carefully landed in the room, without making any movement.
When they came to the table, the two of them were already lying in the middle of several wine jars, Lin Chen immediately took out the machete from behind his back, wiped the necks of the two people one by one, and wrapped the knife again with a cloth, but the blood stains on the knife had soaked the cloth.
Lin Chen carried the knife, flew to the room, returned to the corner, carried the cloth bag back to the house, took out the cutting board and the pig-killing knife, rubbed the blood on it, put it on the table, stuffed the pig-killing knife into the hand of the person on the left, and put the bronze ball stained with blood on the cutting board.
Finally, he took out the rope, dragged the right side down, and tied it to a post on the right side. Then he dealt with the scene again, flew up to the house, covered the tiles back, and left the roof.
Lin Chen came to the firewood room again, lit a fire next to the firewood, and then went out of the firewood room, put the knife in his left hand casually into an empty room, and flew away from the courtyard.
Although this method is very simple, it is still possible to delay them. For the wooden ball, they would definitely look into it.
Lin Chen has already understood that the owner of this courtyard is the number one rich man in this town, he is very wealthy, he often bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil, but the government is still very good to him, and he has opened up the relationship at a glance.
This town is more than a little bigger than Xuanshi Town, and the level of wealth is not comparable. Lin Chen estimated that this rich man was probably more than ten times richer than the Lin family.
The sky was almost dawn, this courtyard was more than sixty miles away from Xuanshi Town, even if Lin Chen used the power of Qingyu Ancestor, the sky was still white.
Lin Chen took off his night clothes and buried them until they were burned, and then buried the ashes in the woods in the back mountain. Half an hour later, he finally returned to the Lin family.
At this time, it was already dawn, Lin Chen took a bath, ate something, and fell asleep on the bed.
Lin Chen didn't rescue those who were bewitched this time, firstly, he had no way to bring them back, and secondly, he had no way to restore them to their original state.
Taking a step back, if you really knock them out and bring them back, so many people will be bewitched very deeply, and it is inevitable that there will be people who secretly go to inform, and the whole town will not be spared at that time.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, Lin Chen also woke up, went to Lin Yanfeng's yard alone, and came to the house, Lin Yanfeng was drinking tea alone, "Grandpa, it's done." ”
Lin Yanfeng's face changed from happy to worried, "Did there be an accident?"
"Don't worry, grandpa, I didn't leave any traces, by the way, shouldn't you give me that boat?" Lin Chen said expectantly.
"Alas, that ship is actually very dangerous, I can feel a very dangerous aura, once this ship is taken out and used, it will be life-threatening!"
Lin Chen was also surprised when he heard the words, could it be that it was used by the powerhouse of the Jindan Realm? But this also doesn't make sense, the powerhouse of the Jindan Realm would be too cheap to take this boat, and even if he pushed the ship to the extreme, it was not as fast as flying directly.
Martial artists above the Void Dan Realm can fly for a long time without eating or drinking. Although it is said that the martial artists of the foundation realm can also fly, it is for a short time, and the consumption of spiritual power is also very large.
Lin Yanfeng took out the small boat and handed it to Lin Chen, and admonished: "You must be careful, this boat is very dangerous!"
"Don't worry, grandpa, I have my own sense of proportion, and I won't take that kind of risk!" After Lin Chen got the boat, he said a few more words to his grandfather and went back to his room.
Qingyu Ancestor directly took the boat away out of thin air, without saying a word, Lin Chen also felt that this matter should be difficult to do, otherwise Qingyu Ancestor would not be so serious.
--- once luxurious yard, after last night's fire, it has changed beyond recognition, the flowers and plants in the yard have been trampled into shape, and the fire has spread to several rows of houses.
Although the fire was extinguished, only a piece of charcoal remained, but the fire did not reach the house where the two people of the Guyang Sect were located.
A young man dressed extravagantly walked straight to the door of the two men's room and looked at the two servants at the door, "Did you two see any suspicious people last night?"
I saw that the servant on the right said respectfully: "Back to the master, the little one has never seen any suspicious people since last night!", and the young man nodded and left.
Two days later, --- young man came back and asked, "Have those two adults never left this room?"
"Back to my lord, no, the two adults each brought a few jars of wine and ordered them to cook some food, and then they went to eat wine, and told us not to disturb them. ”
These two have also been staying for a few days, and the young man has already known in his heart, these two are full of alcohol, they just drink wine, eat meat and play with women all day long, what is the cultivation?
"Well, you shouldn't wake up for two days even if you drink!" said the young man to himself as he knocked on the door, but a quarter of an hour had passed, and there was still no movement from inside.
The young man pushed the door directly in, looked inside, and was immediately surprised, one was wiped and tied to the pillar, and the other was sitting at the table, also wiped his neck, and held a pig-killing knife in his hand.
There was also an iron cutting board on the table, on which also placed a bronze ball, and there were blood stains on the ground, on the table, and on the pillars.
The young man was furious, "What's going on?" The two servants at the door were also frightened, and said tremblingly: "Master, we don't know, no one has gone in these days, how can such a thing happen!"
The young man was a little distracted, if the Gu Yang Sect knew about it, the whole family would not be able to escape, and he would definitely be killed one by one! No, the murderer had to be found out as soon as possible!
At this time, a servant was holding a machete in his hand, "Master, this is what the little one accidentally found in an empty room yesterday. ”
The young man took the knife, looked at it for a while, and placed it on the ground, then went to the table, picked up the wooden ball, and looked at it carefully.
I secretly said in my heart, this wooden ball is really a treasure, enough for these two to fight each other? So how did this person at the table die? Who is this knife? Who is the murderer who killed this person at the table? Who is the arson? Are they the same person?
The series of questions in the hearts of young people can't help but be a little big.
