Chapter 108: Shoveling the Black Shop's First Entry into the Spirit Tomb
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed directly at Zuo Tianming. Zuo Tianming hurriedly put the Zen staff in front of him and protected the vital point. The steel knife slashed the Zen staff, and sparks flew everywhere, shaking the shopkeeper's tiger mouth and bleeding. Zuo Tianming smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Cao Kou is Cao Kou, you can't move it to the big table, you have already made a move, and I have to fight back." Raising the Zen stick in his hand, he disemboweled the shopkeeper in one fell swoop, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys flowed to the ground with screams.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was dead, the shopkeeper shouted to the people under his hands: "This old Zamao is finally dead, and I don't have to listen to him talk there in the future." In the future, this Xiangrui Inn will be our own, and if there is one less money, we can live happily for a few more days. Then he let out a low roar: "Brothers, let's go up together and chop these two bastards into meat sauce." ”
Everyone raised the knife in their hands and rushed towards Xing Hao and Zuo Tianming, the two looked at each other, smiled slightly, unfolded their weapons, and killed all these gangsters in just a moment. Looking at the dead body lying on the ground, Zuo Tianming said to Xing Hao: "It's over, it's good to keep a living, no one can prove our innocence now." Just arrived in the city of Yao, and killed so many people, even if the two of us have big official positions, I'm afraid we can't talk about it. How can we find a witness to clarify for us?" Zuo Tianming thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with any useful methods.
Xing Hao looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said to Zuo Tianming: "What are you afraid of, we are killing some treacherous people who do evil, even if we are held responsible, with our reputation in Kanto Province, it is impossible for anyone to question our approach." And our position is relatively special, and Senior Brother and Xiao Lie have the right to cut first and then play, so don't worry, let's do things well in a down-to-earth manner, and getting Senior Brother out of trouble as soon as possible is the top priority. ”
"That being said, in the end, more things are better than less, we won't mess with the trouble we can't cause, and we won't carry the pot if we can't carry it. Zuo Tianming took out a real fire talisman from his arms, shook it in front of Xing Hao's eyes and said, "It's better to do this, just burn this place with a big fire, and leave nothing for them, so that trouble won't find us." Moreover, we can take advantage of the fire to get out of the way and find another inn to settle down. I'm going to die, and if you think it's okay to do that, I'm going to do it. It just so happens that there are a lot of people downstairs, and if there is a fire above, there will be chaos below, so this is a good time for us to get out of here. ”
Xing Hao hesitated for a long time, and Zuo Tianming urged: "I said Brother Xing, what are you hesitating about? Wait for someone to come up and see all this, we can't leave, it's nothing for us to be locked up, but it can delay the major affairs of the Duwei Mansion, and neither you nor I can afford this responsibility." ”
Let Zuo Tianming urge him like this, Xing Hao made up his mind, and came up with an attitude of not doing anything: "Just do what you want, but there is a premise, you can't hurt the people nearby." After returning to Hecheng, we must also make this matter clear to Senior Brother and Xiao Lie, and ask them to send people to bring official documents to Jinya City to deal with the county order here about this matter, we can't rely on our own official position to bully lower-level officials, which violates our principle of doing things. ”
"Okay, as long as you agree, the rest will listen to you, and I will explain the situation here in detail to Brother Xiao and them after I go back. After Zuo Tianming got Xing Hao's permission, he raised his hand and threw out five or six true fire talismans, and after the spirit talisman fell, the flames broke out everywhere, and in an instant, the flames rose to the sky and thick smoke billowed into the sky. The diners downstairs saw the fire upstairs and fled in fright, and the guests of the other rooms on the second floor ran out of the inn with their personal valuables. A few well-wishers brought in something from nearby to help put out the fire.
Zuo Tianming pulled Xing Hao's arm: "Brother Xing, let's go, the fire is getting bigger, and we won't be able to run out." Opening the window on the second floor, two people jumped down. Xing Hao looked back at the Xiangrui Inn surrounded by flames and sighed: "I hope I don't hurt innocent people, although the villains have been punished, but if you take a few lives for no reason, it will be worth the loss." I don't know if the people who live upstairs have escaped safely. ”
"Things have been done, now is not the time to regret it, let's hurry up and escape from the range of the Xiangrui Inn, and turn back to see if there are any innocent people implicated." Zuo Tianming pulled Xing Hao and ran down in the southwest direction.
Unconsciously, the two of them ran out of four or five miles, stopped and gasped for breath, Zuo Tianming looked around and found that this was actually a cemetery. Large and small graves are scattered all over the place, and among these graves there is a particularly large burial mound. This tomb is like a small house, and without the tombstone standing at the front as a backdrop, it is absolutely impossible to see that this is actually a place for the dead.
Out of curiosity, the two of them walked to the tombstone, and when they looked up, there was not a word on the tombstone, and there was a bare stone slab. Xing Hao circled around the tombstone several times and said to Zuo Tianming: "I just heard that there is a wordless tablet in the tomb of Emperor Cao, but I didn't expect that there is such a wordless tablet in such a place today." I really don't understand, there is no inscription on the tombstone, what is the meaning of this tombstone? Who do you say is buried in this?" When he turned to look at Zuo Tianming, he found that he was studying the small graves around him. Zuo Tianming looked at this and that, and everywhere he went, he had a puzzled expression. Xing Hao thought he had discovered some secret, so he walked up to him and asked, "What are you studying here?
Zuo Tianming stared at the tombstone of a small grave and beckoned to Xing Hao, but he didn't look at him, he beckoned and said, "You can also come and see, I feel that this place is not just a cemetery, and the name here is probably not simple." ”
Xing Hao's curiosity became more and more intense, and he hurriedly walked towards Zuo Tianming and looked at the tombstone in front of him: "It's a little interesting, there are no words on this tombstone, is this tombstone without words the custom of the city? ”
Just when the two of them were pondering what was going on, a person suddenly appeared behind them, shouting to them in a loud voice: "What kind of person, what are you doing in the middle of the night running to our spirit mound?"
In the dead of night, in the graveyard, such a voice suddenly appeared, even a great man had to be frightened. Xing Hao and Zuo Tianming were no exception, and the two of them sat on the ground frightened by this voice. But after all, he was a martial arts cultivator, so he immediately stabilized his frightened mood, turned over and stood up from the ground, and turned to look at the source of the sound. I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, standing in front of them. Zuo Tianming was shocked and said to him: "Are you a human or a ghost, you ask us what we do, and we still want to ask you." ”
The kid said to the two of them with an expressionless face, "If I were a ghost, I would have eaten you alive a long time ago." There is that ghost who is willing to let others do whatever he wants in the place where he belongs, and if you think about it, you can know that I am a real living person. ”
"Spirit Mound?" Xing Hao quickly got out of the panic, and immediately asked the young man in front of him, "You said this is the Spirit Mound, who are you that Mr. Wen Haowen, and where is he now?"
"You have a lot of questions, you haven't answered my questions, you just want to know about my master's situation, do you think I should kill you now, or kill you? Running into the spirit tomb for no reason, there is a suspicion of stealing the treasure of the spirit tomb, according to the rules of this sect, if you find a suspicious person, you will immediately kill it. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, we call this legitimate defense, and to kill you is to spend some effort in vain, and if you die, you will die. While speaking, this person didn't know when, there was a pair of double knives in his palm, and the cold air overflowed the bone marrow.
Zuo Tianming has never been a fearful master, seeing the person on the other side flying and domineering, and seeing that the weapon was already shining in front of his eyes, a sense of arrogance suddenly rose in his heart, took off the water mill Zen staff from his back, and put a boy to worship the Buddha and suppress the demon and said to him: "Good boy, he is young, and his tone is not small. Today I am going to teach you a bad lesson, and I am sorry for the Zen staff in my hand. Let's also take a look at which one will be killed today. ”
From these words, Xing Hao was very sure that this person was Wen Hao's apprentice Guihai Feizhou, and the weapon he used was the double fish blade in his palm. Seeing that the two of them were about to fight together, they hurriedly took out the door sticker from their arms and handed it forward: "In the head of the Lihua Sect, the fifth disciple Xing Hao and Zuo Tianming, the town of Liao Du Wei Mansion, the town of Liao Du Wei Mansion, were ordered by Shi Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie, the commanders of Zhen Liao Du Wei Mansion, to meet Mr. Wen Haowen, the owner of the mound. There is one important matter to explain to him, please ask this little brother to help us get through. ”
Guihai Feizhou was stunned for a moment when he heard the three words of the Pear Flower Sect, looked at the words on the door sticker, and then reacted and put away his double knives and said to them: "The family teacher is in retreat, but he told me before the old man's retreat. In the near future, a disciple of the Pear Blossom Sect will come to visit me and ask me to receive him. I didn't expect you to come to our grave at night, I was offended just now, and I ask you two to atone for my rudeness. ”
Xing Hao put away the door sticker and gave another salute: "I have long heard that the owner of the spirit mound has a lover who sits down, who is upright and strong, and has excellent martial arts, and a pair of double fish blades in his hand are even more superb, and they are worthy of their reputation today." Although I couldn't get it, I just hope to see it in the future. I wonder how long Mr. Wen's retreat will take?"
Guihai Feizhou immediately returned the salute: "Fifth Senior Brother has praised it, my three-legged cat's kung fu is not worth mentioning in front of you." I have always heard Master talk about your deeds, and I have long been fascinated by them, if you have the chance, can you take me to experience them? The tutor has to retreat for 50 days, counting the days, and there will be about two or three days to go out. ”
A few people stood in the cemetery and began to chat, and on the hillside not far away, one person stared at the three people without squinting, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "You have to die!"
