Chapter 1: The Head of a Mysterious Death

Next Chapter

Recently, Chang'an City has been a bit unpeaceful.

The three heads of Qingcheng, Huashan, and Wudang all died after three heavy snowfalls this winter, to be precise, they were killed. It's not strange to kill and be killed in this river and lake, this is the same thing as eating and sleeping for the common people, everyone has long been used to it, the strange thing is that the three people died in the three land temples in the east and west of Chang'an City, and the day of death was just the moment of heavy snowfall, and was killed by one blow, and what is even more strange is that there is not a single footprint within a radius of two miles...... Rumors spread in the market for a while, some people said that these three people were killed by powerful ghosts, and some people said that these three people were killed by the revenge of the former demon sect.

"My lord, I think these three people are committing suicide, with the martial arts of these three people, how many people in the rivers and lakes can kill them with one move, and some people say that this is a netherworld thing, which is even more ridiculous!" said a young man in an official uniform with a grin.

An older man in black touched the beard on his chin, his eyes looked at the sky in the distance and thought thoughtfully, this person was holding a knife in his hand, his dark skin and a square face looked particularly resolute, it seemed that this was an iron-like person. "Well, Xiao Gao, what you said is also reasonable, but have you investigated, although the head of the Qingcheng faction said that he was a chivalrous old hero in private, he was just a womanizer with bad conduct, and the day after he was killed, he was going to marry the third concubine, although the head of the Huashan faction was a shameless man who forgot his righteousness, but it is not an exaggeration to call him a first-class master in the rivers and lakes with his martial arts, as for the long gate of the Wudang faction, it is even more obvious, he uses a sword in his right hand, and the wound will be on the right side?"

After listening to the explanation of the man in black in front of him, the young man named Xiao Gao couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and after losing his mind for a long time, he hurriedly said to the man in black: "The thoughtfulness of the adult's mind and the detail of the investigation really make the five bodies of admiration fall to the ground, admire and admire!" After saying that, Xiao Gao knelt directly in front of the man in black and kowtowed.

"Alright, okay, don't come to this set. The man in black hurriedly waved his hand at Xiao Gao, showing a helpless expression, turned around and walked out the door, obviously he was used to this young man's behavior.

"Hey, hey, where is Lord He? wait for me!" Xiao Gao hurriedly got up and quickly chased after him with the dust on his body.

"Go to Qingfeng Tower. ”

Qingfeng Lou is the largest restaurant outside the gate of Chang'an, those who are in a hurry to rest here, talk about business here in black and white, and all the artists who sing and tell stories gather here, so the side of Qingfeng Lou has become the most well-informed place around Chang'an...... Qingfeng Lou meets all the needs of Jianghu people.

After arriving at Qingfeng Building, the two ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and then found a window seat on the second floor and made it, observing the movements inside and outside the tavern, and observing whether there were any suspicious people. At this time, three big men entered the store, each carrying a knife on their shoulders, and although it was winter, the three of them still opened their chests to reveal the tiger tattoo on their chests and the gold chain two fingers thick on their necks. After coming in, the big man led by the big man yelled and shouted: "Xiao Er has brought up the best wine, the best dishes, and the most beautiful women in the store!"

The little second brother hurriedly came up with a rag and smiled at the three big men: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, the small shop has been in business for many years, it has been a few of our brothers, how can there be any woman, uncle, why don't you look at this...... Are you looking for a woman in the heavens and earths in the city......" The big man heard that his two eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly and slapped the shopkeeper, "What a bastard! Then hurry up and serve wine, if Lao Tzu in the customs will kill you!" Although the little second brother was angry, he couldn't do martial arts, so he hurriedly went down in a daze.

"Hahaha, these little guys in Chang'an, it's really not good, the eldest brother was confused with a slap!"

"It's not that the second brother can't do it, the main thing is that our eldest brother is good at kung fu!"

The other two people applauded when they saw the evil habits of the big man at the head, and everyone in the store shook their heads, but one of them, a young man in Tsing Yi, kept staring at the big man, and his eyes revealed a kind of contempt.

"What are you looking at?" the big man led by him immediately roared at the man in Tsing Yi.

"Are you afraid of being seen by people because of this virtue?" replied lightly the man in Tsing Yi, without any emotional change in his tone, his two eyes narrowed slightly, bent like the moon, and others looked at a very good-looking face, but the bare-chested man felt extremely disgusted when he saw it. The big man was furious, and shouted: "You kid is looking for death!" raised the knife above his head with both hands, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and his feet jumped over the table and slashed straight at the man in Tsing Yi, this posture was like a tiger pounced on its prey!

The people in the store were speechless because of this momentary change, and the timid people had even covered their eyes.

The sound of "pop" came into everyone's ears, but it didn't seem to be the sound of the knife on the human body, nor the sound of weapons colliding together, I saw a pair of chopsticks on the top of the knife and caught the big man's knife, the big man tried his strength and the knife body was still not moving, the big man knew that he had met a master, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks, and there was no longer the arrogance just now, and the other two big men wanted to lift the knife to save people when they saw this scene.

I saw that the fingers of the person holding the chopsticks turned slightly, and the handle of the big man was already in his hand, and the blade was pressed against the neck of the big man across the blade, and then the big man found that the man's skills in front of him were absolutely first-class in the rivers and lakes, and he was not his opponent even if he practiced hard for fifty years. The man in Tsing Yi took the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish directly, put it in his mouth, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing this situation, the other two people hurriedly begged for mercy: "Hero, hero, spare your life, we have eyes that don't know Mount Tai, beg the hero to surround our Brother Long's life!" The chopstick-wielding man smiled lightly, "Nonsense, I didn't make a move just now, he would have died now." Then he handed the knife to Dahan and said, "Brother Long next time he comes out to cut someone, remember to hold the knife steady, so as not to be counter-killed, let's go." With that, a few people ran out in dismay.

The person holding the chopsticks is none other than Lord He of the Six Doors. He sat directly opposite the man in Tsing Yi, took a pair of chopsticks and ate directly, "Xiao Er will have another pot of wine, I want to have a few more drinks with this friend!" Xiao Er saw that it was Lord He who wanted the wine, and immediately looked very happy, and immediately served two pots of wine, "Hero, thank you for helping me out of my bad breath today! You two can drink, I invite you two today!" Before the two of them could reply, the little second brother went down with a smile.

"Why are you saving those three crumbs today?" said the man in Tsing Yi slowly after drinking a glass of wine.

"Although those three people are arrogant, they are not big traitors, I will teach you a lesson, if you sell these three people, you will either die or be crippled today. ”

"Say, what is Brother Ji Zhen looking for me this time? ”

"Hahahaha, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, in fact, this time it's mainly for the last three snowy night murders, and now the people in the market are panicking about this case, and the saint is also very concerned about it, if I can't find the murderer within a month, my career will be over......"

"Oh, I know, big champion! You are the glory of your hometown! Drink, I'll help you when you're happy!"

"Okay, it's a word, drink!"

......

By the end of the evening, the rest of the restaurant had already left. He Jizhen's cheeks were already flushed, and his mind was a little confused. Xiao Gao helped him and then hugged his fist at the man in Tsing Yi and said solemnly: "Li Daxia, this case is really hard for you, although our adults are strong, they are still worse than you." ”

"Hahaha, it's not just a little worse, I'm a genius. After that, the man in Tsing Yi picked up his sword and staggered to push the door and leave, "Don't worry, I'll go to the six doors to see Lao He in a few days." ”

After that, the man in Tsing Yi had long since disappeared, and only heard a sentence from a distance:

“...... Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, hahaha happy. ”

In an instant, the store returned to its previous quietness, only the snoring of He Jizhen.

Li Bai is worthy of being Li Bai, as a famous man in the world, he has always been famous for his swordsmanship and light skills, and a few ups and downs on the branches have arrived at the land temple in the south of the city. After entering the inside, Li Bai took out the fire fold in his arms, and gently blew it by the firelight and began to check every corner of the temple, he held the sword in his left hand, and the fire fold in his right hand was checked underneath, frowning and squinting his eyes from time to time, he couldn't see whether he was really thinking or remembering, there were no traces of fighting in this temple, and no matter how good the light skills were, it was impossible not to leave a trace within a radius of two miles, this murder that killed the heads of the three sects, is it really a netherworld thing? A few pigeon calls pulled Li Bai's thoughts back, and he hurriedly shook his head, "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never seen any strange and big cases, how can this kind of case be difficult for me." Suddenly, Li Bai had a flash of inspiration, and saw a white spot on the ground where the corpse was parked before, he pressed it with his index finger and rubbed it with his thumb, put it next to his nose and sniffed it. Then he smiled satisfactorily and turned away.

At noon the next day, He Jizhen was warming wine and cooking hot pot at home, sitting on a chair with a comfortable expression, Li Bai pushed open the door and entered the house before He Jizhen opened his mouth, so a glass of wine was poured directly into his mouth, and then pointed at He Jizhen with a smile and said: "Old He, old He, you kid is too unrighteous, I am sleeping outside to investigate the case for you, but you are eating hot pot and drinking wine at home!" He Jizhen laughed, and poured a glass of wine directly, "Hey, Brother Taibai, I don't recognize your ability, if I hand it over to others to check my appearance, I'll be sleeping in the open now, haha!" After the two sat down, He Jizhen gave Li Bai a glass of wine, poured a glass himself, raised the glass to signal a toast, let out a comfortable sigh after drinking, and then picked up a piece of freshly soaked mutton and put it in his mouth, "Too... Brother Taibai, how's that, what's there.. Harvest..."He Jizhen said while chewing the mutton while looking at Li Bai.
