Chapter 32: The Mystery of Life (1)
One month after the tragedy in the Lingzu Mansion, the entire Mingying City was still panicked, and the usually brightly lit bazaar, before it got dark, the families had closed early, the windows and doors were closed, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
Because of this big case, Wucheng Academy postponed the martial arts competition indefinitely, and all students have been resting at home. Wen Xuan stayed in Wucheng to treat his injuries.
Thanks to Wu Cheng's medicinal herbs, the careful care of Li Jialong's teachers, and Wen Xuan's own repair ability, Wen Xuan's injuries have basically healed in just one month. With such a serious injury, the short recovery time is incredible, and many people find it incredible. Even the old man with thick glasses in the medical room said that it was a miracle that Wen Xuan was able to recover in such a short time.
In the days when Wen Xuan was recuperating, he missed Ling'er very much in his heart, and kept asking Li Jialong every day if he had found any news about Ling'er. Although Li Jialong and Wang Zhifang used Wu Ying to contact their former comrades-in-arms in various places every day and asked them to help find this eleven-year-old girl, it was a pity that a month had passed, and there was still no news.
Wenxuan's dreams are full of dreams every day, and he is depressed. After preparing to recover, go to find Ling'er in person. Even if the world is big, even if he looks for ten or twenty years, he is willing, he really misses Ling'er too much, for Wenxuan, Ling'er is all he has.
Wen Xuan decided that after his injury was healed, he left a letter to Li Jialong asking Teacher Li not to worry about him, and to meet Master Condor again, and tell him that he was going away.
It has been nearly a month since Wenxuan left his master last time. I am also very worried in my heart, I don't know what happened to the master for so long, so many bad things have happened recently, is he okay with the old man? In any case, before leaving, I must meet the master and say goodbye to the master.
On this day, Wen Xuan woke up early, left a letter for Li Jialong, put it on his sickbed, and secretly left Wucheng alone.
After leaving Wucheng Academy, Wen Xuan did not go directly to the cave, but first went to the market center of Mingying City, and used the only one hundred yuan left on his body to buy two roast chickens and two pots of wine. Wen Xuan thought to himself that Master Vulture lived in the cave at the bottom of the mountain all the year round, and usually lived on the wild things in the mountain, so today it would be better for his old man to satisfy his hunger and drink a pot of master drink.
On that day, the bottom of Mingying Mountain was after the rain, the water and soil were full, and the river water pouring down from the mountain stream flowed down, rumbling through the dense forest like a tide. Bypass the mountain peaks, leap over the boulders, sweep over the deep-rooted trees, and rush towards the rivers, lakes and seas beyond the mountains.
Every time Wenxuan went to the vulture's cave, he had to look for a long time, and the trees around the cave were dense and dense, and the tree species were mostly red pine, white pine, spruce, larch, ash, basswood, poplar, birch, etc. The cave is also located at the bottom of the mountain valley, and the terrain here is similar, so it is very easy to fork the road.
It took Wen Xuan nearly two hours to walk from Ming Ying City to the cave, and it was already noon when he walked, Wen Xuan approached the cave and saw that the vulture was sitting on the ground roasting the fire, so he ran up and said, "Master, the apprentice has come to see you." When the vulture heard Wen Xuan's voice, he didn't look back and said, "Wen Xuan, you are finally here, and the teacher thinks you are dead..."
Wen Xuan immediately ran forward and knelt on the ground, "Master, the disciple is not filial, I haven't come to see your old man for so long." ”
The vulture turned his head around, and his red snake eyes showed a hint of helplessness at this time, and sighed, "Hey", and then said: "Wen Xuan, has something happened in the city recently? I saw black smoke floating into the air at the bottom of the mountain that day, so I walked up the mountain and saw that the Danqing attic was destroyed by fire. The city was in turmoil, did you get hurt at the time? ”
Wen Xuan was asked about this, and the picture of the day of the tragedy appeared in his mind again, his heart was sour, and he choked up and said, "The disciple is fine, it's just... On that day, my disciple witnessed the tragic destruction of the Spirit Clan's mansion, and my best friend was gone. ”
The vulture's body shook, and his hoarse voice carried a hint of surprise, "You mean that the whole family of the Spirit Clan Mansion is dead?" Dan Ling'er, the daughter of the patriarch, was taken captive. ”
Wen Xuan was very surprised, he had never mentioned Ling'er, how could the master know him, so he asked, "Master, do you know Ling'er?"
The vulture nodded: "The young lady of the Spirit Clan's Mansion, who doesn't know her, is one year older than you." Has the murderer been found?"
Wen Xuan replied: "The disciple escaped from the mansion with Ling'er at that time, and then he was attacked by that person and fainted, and when he woke up, he only heard the teachers say that the person was called the Ghost King. ”
When the vulture heard the word "Ghost King", his red eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, revealing an incredible look, and he asked Wen Xuan, "What? Ghost King? This can't be.... It can't be...."
Wen Xuan was very puzzled and asked, "Why master?"
The vulture let out his hoarse voice, and his two red eyes said in a trance, "The ghost king was ....... ten years ago." Die before me..... It can never be a ghost king... Someone is borrowing a knife to kill someone..."
"What! Master has seen the Ghost King," Wen Xuan stood up. Asked in surprise.
The vulture slowly got up at this time, put his hand on Wen Xuan's shoulder, looked at Wen Xuan's eyes with red eyes, and said, "Wen Xuan, it is estimated that my hiding place has also been exposed. Listen, Mingying City at this time is an undercurrent, you can't stay here for a moment now, don't stay in Mingying City, hurry up and go out of the city as far as possible!"
Wen Xuan was puzzled and asked anxiously, "Why master?"
The vulture sighed and said, "Wenxuan, I should tell you about my life, in fact, your father is ......"
"Hahahahahaha~" A wild laugh came from outside the cave, interrupting the conversation between the two masters and apprentices.
This voice was strong and powerful, resounding through the valley, which showed that this person's internal strength was extremely deep.
The two masters and apprentices walked quickly to the outside of the cave, only to see that dozens of big men were already surrounded by the entrance of the cave, and dozens of people were also standing on the stone wall of the canyon.
A big man with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, leopard head and ringed eyes, and wearing gold armor stepped forward and shouted: "Hahahaha, you vulture, Lao Tzu has been looking for you for ten years! I didn't expect it to be dark under the lights! You have been hiding in the canyon of the Mingying Mountains! Thanks to this doll beside you, we can find you!"
The vulture sneered and said, "Yan Shirong, you traitor, you failed to get rid of you as a villain ten years ago, and today you came to die by yourself!"
When Wen Xuan heard the vulture's words, he was shocked, and thought to himself, it turned out that this big man with a leopard's head and eyes was actually Yan Ming's father, Yan Shirong, the head of the Jinyi Department! Wasn't he the supervisor of the tragedy in the Spirit Clan's Mansion? Why did he come here to arrest the master without investigating the case?
Yan Shirong laughed and said, "Hahaha, you demon, you hurt my people and trampled on my country's land ten years ago. I should have broken you to pieces a long time ago! I let you live for another ten years as a demon, but today I don't know that today, the thief is not dead, pretending to be a ghost king, and slaughtering nearly 50 people up and down the Spirit Clan's mansion! Today I will eliminate harm for the people!"
Wen Xuan listened to Yan Shirong's words, and looked at the vulture in disbelief, he didn't know if what Yan Shirong said was true, and hoped that the vulture would reply to him.
The vulture found that Wen Xuan had been staring at him, turned his head to Wen Xuan and said hurriedly: "Wen Xuan, don't listen to him, the master will never do such an insidious and despicable thing, framing is their usual trick!"
"Hahahaha~" Yan Shirong laughed and shouted to the brocade-clothed warriors behind him: "Brothers, this person is the guard general next to the Ghost King, nicknamed "Vulture", and he has a very good personal education with the Ghost King. This tragedy in the Spirit Clan Mansion was caused by him and the little devil next to him! Kill these two people alive or die to avenge more than 50 people in the Spirit Clan's Mansion!
Hundreds of warriors behind him listened to the order, drew their long swords, and rushed forward!
The vulture pushed Wen Xuan back, spread his right hand, and saw a long sword flying rapidly from the distant sky, "~brush" The sword fell steadily in the vulture's hand, and the vulture's whole body gathered qi. The sword body emitted bursts of blue light, and the hundreds of warriors were shocked by this dazzling light, and the vulture took advantage of this gap and said to Wen Xuan: "Wen Xuan, don't be caught by them!
After saying that, the vulture rushed forward!
