Chapter 673: Mind
Li Jingde and the others took the lead in saluting Dou Zhenhai, and then looked at the surrounding situation, and when they saw the dozens of female disciples sitting in the courtyard, as well as the three female disciples who had lost their lives, their expressions changed.
Something is wrong!
As long as there is a death in the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, it is a big deal, you must know that the current owner of the pavilion is a ruthless person, and he attaches great importance to the lives of his disciples.
If there is a death in the competition, it is not bad, but once someone is killed in other aspects, the owner of the hall will be furious, and if the trouble is not good, it will be a river of blood.
More than ten years ago, Flying Tiger City had five major families, one of which was slaughtered by the hall owner single-handedly because of a human death in the martial arts hall.
Although the behavior of that family was excessive, and the owner of the pavilion also had the idea of Liwei, he was indeed slaughtered ruthlessly at that time.
Looking at the situation here now, those three female disciples obviously did not die from the competition, if this matter is not handled well, if it is not done well, the slaughter of the year will be repeated.
A cold sweat oozed from the brains of everyone who understood this, and their hearts were raised.
"Feng girl, tell them what happened!"
Dou Zhenhai's face was gloomy, his gaze as sharp as a knife swept over everyone, and his body exuded a murderous aura.
"This morning, a junior sister felt a headache, so I asked Deputy Master Qian to come over to take a look, but I unexpectedly found that all the junior sisters were planted with body-eating Gu, although they tried their best to rescue them, but three junior sisters still died. β
Speaking of this, Feng Chimei also had a gloomy face, his cold eyes swept over Li Jingde and the others, and said coldly: "This is how things are, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." β
As he spoke, a murderous aura that was not inferior to Dou Zhenhai surged out and crushed towards Li Jingde and the others, if it weren't for the fact that these people were all third-order cultivators, I am afraid they would all be crushed by these two terrifying murderous aura.
In the face of the terrifying murderous aura of the two powerhouses Feng Chimei and Dou Zhenhai, Li Jingde and the others were even more sweaty, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, you two, we will definitely find out about this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation." β
"I'm waiting for your explanation!"
With a cold smile, Feng Chimei pointed at the Mai girl who was the only one who had not been seeded with a Body Eater Gu before, and said, "She is the only one who has not been seeded with a Body Eater Gu, and then it's up to you." β
Li Jingde and the others were silent for a while, and Li Jingde took the lead and said respectfully to one of the silver-haired old men: "Old Zhao, that little girl will be handled by you, and I will lead someone to cooperate with Lao Qian to take out the body eating Gu for these female disciples." β
"Well, you go!"
The silver-haired old man nodded, and then led a group of people to take the Maiden girl who was still in a fog of consciousness to the side and give way to the venue.
Li Jingde didn't say anything more, and brought a group of alchemists with good medical skills to Qian Shengcai's side, and said in a deep voice: "Old Qian, what's the situation now?"
Although he is very incompatible with Qian Shengcai, this is not the time for intrigue, and he must do his best to stabilize the situation at this moment, and the lives of these female disciples are the key to this.
Now that three people have died, if a few more die, the hall owner Dou Zhenhai will definitely go berserk, that's not what they want to see.
"The body-eating Gu in their bodies has been pierced and shocked to death by the old man with a silver needle, you only need to take it out, if you don't have experience in this area, go and do it. β
Qian Shengcai carefully opened the skull of a female disciple, and then took the time to reply, and then with a sharp knife in his hand, a silver needle with a worm the size of a grain of rice flew out from the female disciple's eyebrows.
The skull was reset, the wound was sutured, and the ointment was applied, and after all this money and wealth were done, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jingde took the opportunity to ask: "Old Qian, I heard that the body-eating Gu in these little girls' bodies were all shocked to death by you with silver needles?
Li Jingde was staring at this aspect from the beginning, he knew everything about money and wealth, with his understanding, it was impossible for this fat man to find so many body-eating Gu at one time, let alone use a silver needle to directly and accurately pierce and shock him to death.
So there must be some kind of hidden truth in this.
"How else can you find out? Of course, I used my strength to sense it. β
Glancing at Li Jingde, Qian Shengcai didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to operate for the next female disciple.
Naturally, he would not tell the truth, which was also something he had discussed with Feng Chimei earlier, taking everything on himself, and doing his best to cover up Li Ming.
In this case, it's not a good thing that Li Ming is too prominent, I know if it will stimulate the Li family too much and let those guys take risks and be ruthless?
Although he had been mentally prepared and understood that it was impossible for Qian Shengcai to tell him the secret inside, but after hearing this at this moment, Li Jingde's expression still became very ugly, and at the same time, he was a little frightened in his heart.
You must know that the disciples of the Eight Wonders Martial Arts Academy have all made a contract with their Li family, and the only remaining management of the Eight Wonders Martial Arts Academy is basically from their Li family.
If one is not careful, their Li family is likely to be wiped out, just like the family that was slaughtered by the pavilion owner Dou Zhenhai more than ten years ago.
"Pavilion master, it has been investigated clearly, the Qi and Blood Pills distributed by the Martial Arts Hall every month since the little girl entered the Eight Wonders Martial Arts Academy have been secretly taken away by her fiancΓ©, Wang Xin, a disciple of the Lieshan Martial Academy.
And at this moment, that Wang Xin had died in the Lieshan Martial Academy, and the cause of death was the body-eating Gu, and it was basically certain that the body-eating Gu was planted into the bodies of these disciples through the Qi and Blood Pill issued by the martial arts hall.
At the same time, the deacon of the Eight Wonders Martial Academy, who distributed the Qi and Blood Pill, also died in the bedroom, and the cause of death was also to die from being devoured by the Body Gu. β
The silver-haired old man, who was respectfully called Zhao Lao by Li Jingde, told Dou Zhenhai and Feng Chimei about the results of their investigation, but his expression was very ugly.
The other party's layout was too cautious, and even the deacon who distributed the pill was planted with a body-eating Gu.
What's even more hateful is that the deacon is still from a civilian background, and he has not joined any family forces in Flying Tiger City on the surface, which means that this clue is broken.
Although the Li family is the most suspicious on the surface, there is no tangible evidence, and it is uncertain whether other forces are deliberately framing the Li family.
However, what is certain is that the people who do this must be the people of the four major families, you must know that it is very difficult to cultivate the Body Eating Gu, and the resources required are even more precious, except for the four major families in Flying Tiger City, no force can make up for these.
"This is what you told the old man?"
The suppressed murderous aura broke out again, Dou Zhenhai had a gloomy face, and a pair of eyes were as cold as water staring at everyone present, obviously very dissatisfied with the results of this investigation.
Sensing Dou Zhenhai's blazing killing intent, Zhao Laoyi gritted his teeth and said: "Pavilion master, after our investigation, although it cannot be ruled out that other forces deliberately framed him, the Li family is the most likely. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several Li family powerhouses in the audience changed, and Li Jingde's old face was even more pale, but they didn't dare to say anything.
They know Dou Zhenhai's temperament very well, if there is no substantial evidence to prove his innocence in this case, then it is best to keep silent and let Dou Zhenhai judge for himself, so that the other party will be lightly punished.
If they dare to argue blindly and provoke the other party again, what awaits them will only be a butcher's knife, and they will be slaughtered like the family more than ten years ago.
"These little girls are 100,000 taels of gold as compensation, one person with brain cord damage is 500,000 taels of gold, and the three who lost their lives are compensated to their families, and these gold are temporarily stored in the account of the martial arts hall. The old man doesn't care how you distribute it, the old man only looks at the results. β
The eyes full of murderous intent swept over everyone one by one, and Dou Zhenhai groaned and spoke.
If it weren't for the coming beast tide, it would be the time to employ people, and he would have sent someone to track it down to the end, and then slaughter the sect and exterminate the clan.
But the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, and these guys must be made to pay.
At the same time, the amount of compensation is too huge, and these girls are all civilian children, and if you give these girls directly, it will hurt them, so it is best to temporarily store it in the account of the martial arts hall.
At that time, whether it will be converted into cultivation resources or other ways will be up to the female disciples who have suffered from it to decide.
"Pavilion Master Mingjian!"
Li Jingde and the others glanced at each other, and they all agreed with this solution.
"Hmph! forget it this time, if there is a next time, the old man will personally carry a knife to slaughter the door and destroy the household!"
With a cold snort, Dou Zhenhai gave a warning, and then stepped away.
This time the matter is not over like this, he must find the Gu Master behind the scenes, even if he can't turn against the four major families and kill him, but that Gu Master must die!
This is non-negotiable!
However, it is not easy to find out the identity of that Gu master, after all, the other party must be a member of the four major families, and that family will definitely do everything possible to cover up this matter, so this is not easy to do.
But no matter how difficult it is to investigate, he has to check it out, so as to give those guys from the four major families a deterrent, lest this kind of thing happen again in the future, or even happen frequently.
"Wait, old man!"
Feng Chimei, who had not spoken, suddenly stopped Dou Zhenhai, who was about to leave, and the hearts of Li Jingde and the others were also lifted at once, for fear that this crazy woman would do something again.
Dou Zhenhai stopped and looked at Feng Chimei, without words, he was waiting for Feng Chimei's words.
"Since the Li family is the most suspicious in this incident, it is no longer appropriate for these junior sisters to continue to join the Li family's private army after graduation, and I think they should be restored to their free bodies so as not to be persecuted again. Feng said in a deep voice.
Although Feng Chimei was a little selfish in these words, he was more thinking about these female disciples.
Not to mention the Gu master who is likely to exist in the Li family, the gold that the Li family compensated this time alone is enough to make the Li family anxious.
If after graduation, according to the provisions of the contract, these female disciples will join the Li family's private army, I know what means the Li family will use to get the gold back.
Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to break the contract with the Li family, as for what choice these female disciples will make in the future, whether to join her legion, or continue to stay in Flying Tiger City to join other forces, that is their own business.
"Yes!"
After a little thought, Dou Zhenhai guessed Feng Chimei's thoughts, nodded and agreed with Feng Chimei's opinion.
The Li family, led by Li Jingde, looked gloomy, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Now that the situation is very unfavorable to them, instead of continuing to stimulate Dou Zhenhai and Feng Chimei, it is better to calm things down.
Anyway, it's just a contract for forty little girls, and if it's gone, it's gone, and it's nothing compared to the family's crisis this time.
"Brother Li, your Li family has to contribute to the gold of this compensation!"
After Dou Zhenhai left, a middle-aged man looked at Li Jingde and the people of the Li family behind him teasingly.
The people of the remaining two families also gloated at Li Jingde and the others, although the compensation for this incident had to be borne by their four major families, the Li family was the most suspicious, so the Li family wanted to take the lead.
As competitors, they were naturally happy to see the Li family suffer a big loss.
Millions of taels of gold, even if the Li family is one of the four major families in Flying Tiger City, it will be greatly damaged if they take out so much at once, which is exactly what they are happy to see.
Even if it is possible, if the Li family's control over the strength of their subordinates weakens under the great injury of vitality this time, the three major families of them will not mind expanding their own territory.
After all, they like to do it the most.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Li Jingde didn't say anything, and left quickly with a few people from the Li family.
The others didn't say anything more, and walked away as quickly as ever.
They need to hurry back and report the matter to their respective families, so that the family can make decisions and arrangements, and the arrangements for the Li family are targeted.
Once there is a problem with the Li family, they will immediately start to grab the territory, if possible, it is best to destroy the Li family, and then they will gain huge benefits.
Just like the family that Dou Zhenhai slaughtered more than ten years ago, most of the assets under the command of that family were swallowed by their four major families at that time, and that time made them eat a full stomach, if they had the opportunity to make another profit this time, they would naturally not mind.
"This is the Maison!"
Glancing coldly at the departing figures of these people, Feng Chimei turned his head to look at the three female disciples who had lost their lives, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Although I have looked down on life and death, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart.
"This is the Maison!"
Qian Shengcai also sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "The existence of the family did play a great role in the early stage of the development of the human race, but thousands of years have passed, and the family has evolved into a tumor of the human race, if we don't get rid of these tumors, we human race will probably be wiped out by the demon beasts." β
For the existence of the family, the flat background of money and wealth is extremely hated, the family has evolved into a deadly tumor, they only care about developing themselves, and unscrupulously suppress, and even eradicate the genius among the children of the common people to consolidate their own position.
But among the hundreds of millions of people of the human race, the population of the family only accounts for one percent, or even one thousandth, although the blood level inherited by the family will be very high, but its population is a hard wound after all, and it is impossible to support the backbone of the human race by relying on the little people of the family alone.
As the vast majority of the population, civilians have to face the cultivation difficulties caused by their own low bloodline level on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also have to face the continuous suppression and even persecution of the family, and finally there is not one in a hundred who can grow up.
This undoubtedly plunged the human race into serious internal friction, if it was just the human race itself, but there was a huge threat of demon beasts outside.
Once the strength of the human race is weakened to a certain point, it will definitely be wiped out by the endless demon beasts.
This is not nonsense, it can be seen from the history of the war between the human race and the demon beasts, in addition to the tragic situation with the demon *** in the initial period, the next is the rise of the human race, and even once pressed the demon beasts of the 100,000 mountains.
It may also be in response to that sentence, booming and declining.
In the past hundred years, the casualties of the human race and the demon war have become larger and larger, and there are fewer and fewer warriors who can participate in the war, and they have even been forced to a desperate situation by the demon beasts several times.
Ironically, the number of children of the family is slowly increasing, and there is no need to say anything about the filth in it.
"Uncle Qian, what's wrong with those little girls?"
After a pause, Feng Chimei asked.
Speaking of this problem, Qian Shengcai also felt a headache and said: "Some of them are okay, as long as the wound on the forehead heals, it will be fine, but some of them have been shocked by the force and injured their cerebral marrow, and there may be symptoms of emotional loss." β
Saying that, Qian Shengcai looked at Feng Chimei depressedly, which was basically hurt by the aftermath of Feng Chimei's strength.
It is important to know that the cerebral spinal cord is a very fragile and delicate organ, and the slightest mistake can have serious consequences.
Although Feng Chimei's control over the strength is very strong, he has never done this before, and he is inexperienced enough to achieve perfect control, so this kind of mistake occurred.
However, fortunately, these female disciples saved their lives, and the symptom of emotional loss is not too much of a problem, and even to some extent, it is still a good thing.
At this time, Zheng Linglong, who was stunned by Dou Zhenhai's murderous aura, woke up, but as soon as she woke up, she saw a face dangling in front of her eyes, and she subconsciously screamed, and then slapped it.
"I'll go, what are you crazy women doing!"
Li Ming covered his face and glared at Zheng Linglong in annoyance.
"Why are you so close to Miss Ben?"
Zheng Linglong also glared at Li Ming with annoyance, with a look of vigilance.
"Damn, I saw a poisonous spider crawling on your hair, and kindly pinched you to death, but you took revenge like this, and you knew that you would have let this poisonous spider bite you. β
Li Ming angrily threw the poisonous spider in his hand to Zheng Linglong, and walked aside angrily, ignoring the crazy woman.
"Uh...... No, why didn't you faint?"
Zheng Linglong realized that she had hit the wrong person, and she wanted to apologize but couldn't say it because of her face, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the bastard didn't faint?
"Why should I faint? That old man's murderous aura is indeed quite heavy, but I can still bear it, master. He rolled his eyes, but Li Ming's expression was more proud.
Although at the beginning, he relied on the mysterious power in his eyes to stay awake, but later he relied on his own will to carry it.
"Damn!"
Clenching her fists, Zheng Linglong glared at Li Ming unwillingly.
She found herself being dumped by this bastard in another aspect.
"Young people are energetic!"
Qian Shengcai saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, it's good to be young!"
Feng Chimei also let out a sigh, and his eyes seemed to be caught in some kind of memory.
"Smack!"
In the Li family's mansion, Li Jingyun, the head of the Li family, slapped his second son Li Liangyu and flew out, and said coldly with a gloomy old face: "Why do you want to do such a stupid thing behind my back?"
That kind of thing happened in the Eight Wonders Martial Academy, and everyone else was speculating that it was probably done by someone from the Li family, or that a certain force was deliberately framing the Li family, but Li Jingyun, who was the head of the Li family, only knew after a little investigation that it was someone from their Li family who did it, and that person was his second son.
But even Li Jingyun himself didn't know why Li Liangyu did this.
"No why, just don't want to die. β
Li Liangyu did not feel uneasy after doing something wrong as usual this time, but behaved very calmly, and even took out a Jinpa to elegantly wipe the blood stains on the corner of his mouth.
"You ......"
Li Jingyun didn't expect such an answer, he pointed at Li Liangyu with his finger and was speechless angrily, and after a long pause, he scolded with some hatred: "Your eldest brother's goal is to worship the Star Picking Pavilion, how can it be rare for us to be the head of the small Li family? Not to mention your life? I don't even understand this, are you a pig brain?"
And Li Liangyu didn't pay attention to Li Jingyun's anger, and said to himself: "Father, don't say anything about coaxing children like this, it's meaningless." Although the eldest brother's talent is considered to be the top in our Flying Tiger City, he doesn't have much hope of entering the Star Picking Pavilion, and after being hit by reality, I don't believe that he will be indifferent to the position of the head of the family, and I will not pin my hopes on others. β
"So you're going to do that stupid thing behind our backs?"
The anger on Li Jingyun's face was closed, and he looked at his second son coldly, he found that he seemed to have neglected this second son before, and it seemed that this son was better than he imagined.
The eldest son of his eight sons, Li Liangjing, is the most talented, followed by the second son Li Liangyu, because the eldest son Li Liangjing has been determined to worship the Star Pavilion over the years, so he looks down on him as the head of the Li family.
Li Jingyun did not object to this, and even cultivated the second son Li Liangyu as a candidate for the head of the family, in case the eldest son really worshiped the Star Picking Pavilion, and there was no successor to the position of the head of the family.
It's just that he didn't expect that his second son Li Liangyu would have such an ambitious heart and be ruthless and decisive to such an extent.
This kind of mind is just right for sitting in the position of the head of the family!
"It can't be said to be stupid, it's just that the time doesn't treat me!"
