Chapter Eighty-Three: The Faceless Man
On the streets, a group of government soldiers armed with torches were searching this small area, going from house to house. After a long while, the army found nothing, so they left here and went to the next area.
On the pitch-black eaves of a house, a masked man suddenly fell. As soon as the masked man landed, he immediately melted into the shadows and walked along the wall.
This person is Xu Qingsheng, and he is also the thief who broke into Yueyang County Mansion at night.
He wiped the remaining blood from the corners of his mouth, and his face was quite solemn. When he thought of what he saw in Yueyang County Mansion, even if he was not shocked, he was chilled from the bottom of his heart.
The secret that the thief accidentally glimpsed into brought him a fatal disaster and provoked the master to chase and kill endlessly, turned out to be true.
"Yueyang County Lieutenant He Sheng, is a demon, not a human ......" This was the original words that the thief said in his ear at that time.
For ordinary people, demons and monsters are indeed easy to cause panic among people. But for Xu Qingsheng, these have long been common.
At that time, he just thought that there was a monster who had wandered into the world and became an official of the Yueyang County Government. The disappearance of Yueyang Chenghuang this time may be very suspicious.
However, what he saw with his own eyes made him completely understand that things were not as simple as he had imagined......
Time goes back half an hour ago.
According to the description of the Book of Thieves, Xu Qingsheng found the secret place he ran into last time, the bedroom where He Sheng worked and rested.
The room was empty, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But Xu Qingsheng knew that there might be a secret room in this room, which was told to him by the Book of Thieves.
The last time the thief scripture peeked secretly, he didn't see He Sheng open any secret room. But with his own knowledge and experience, there must be a secret room or secret passage in this room.
Xu Qingsheng followed the method taught by the Thief of Virtue Sutra and took out a small section of black-brown wooden hard block that the Thief of Virtue Sutra had given him in advance. It was lit with a fire fold, and a small white smoke rose up.
The white eyes did not follow the normal direction of the white smoke as imagined, but walked very spiritually against the ground. Xu Qingsheng followed the trail of white smoke until it drifted under the bed, and then burrowed under the stone slab on the ground.
Xu Qingsheng's eyes lit up, and sure enough, there was a secret room, and this was the entrance to the secret room.
If there is a secret room, there must be an opening mechanism, Xu Qingsheng knocked and touched the west, and tossed for a while before he touched the mechanism, and the stone slab on the ground "buzzed" and sank, revealing a downward staircase.
Xu Qingsheng cautiously descended the stairs to the secret room, and suddenly heard movement behind him, and without thinking about it, he drew his sword and turned around. The scene in front of him surprised him.
There was a stone bed in the secret room, and on top of the stone bed there was a person bound to the bed by chains, or a man without a face, and his face only had dark red and bright muscles, which looked very hideous and terrifying.
The movement just now was made by this faceless man. He was still alive, but his weakness was clearly felt, and he was in a trance.
Xu Qingsheng cautiously approached the faceless man, and made sure that this person was not a threat, so he pushed him with his scabbard.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
The faceless man had half-open eyes, and the whole person was in a daze, not knowing what Xu Qingsheng was talking about.
After a while, the faceless man seemed to wake up a little and noticed a person beside him. Xu Qingsheng hurriedly asked what he had just said several times.
The faceless man was still a little frightened at first, and then stared at the two eyelidless eyeballs, looked at Xu Qingsheng for a long time, and his stiff body was slightly relaxed because of nervousness.
"Nest...... Shoot...... And...... Mori ......"
The faceless man's vocal cords were damaged, and it was quite difficult to speak, and the pronunciation was not clear, Xu Qingsheng frowned, not understanding what the faceless man was saying.
When the faceless person said a word, his spirit became sluggish, but when he saw that Xu Qingsheng didn't understand his words, he was even more anxious.
"And the ...... Group...... Crooked ......" The faceless man trembled, trying his best, as if tearing his throat, shouting, screaming.
"And the forest group crooked...... and Sen, the group ......" Xu Qingsheng frowned tightly and kept repeating in his mouth.
"Wo shot and Mori, I am and Mori...... Huh?"
Xu Qingsheng seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed greatly. "I'm Kazumori, Kazumori...... I am He Sheng! You are He Sheng, the lieutenant of Yueyang County, He Sheng!"
The faceless man nodded vigorously, the sound of humming in his mouth kept coming, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, but the tears fell on the muscles that had lost the protection of his skin, and he convulsed in pain.
After being shocked, Xu Qingsheng immediately calmed down, and he wanted to figure out what was going on.
"You're He Sheng, the lieutenant of Yueyang County, right?"
The Faceless Man nodded.
"Then who is 'He Sheng' outside?"
The faceless man shook his head and roared anxiously, "Performance...... ......"
Xu Qingsheng's face changed, He Sheng was warning him, although he didn't know why, he still decided to believe He Sheng.
"I'll take you away!"
The faceless man wept and shook his head desperately. "Playing ...... ......"
Xu Qingsheng gritted his teeth, if there was really danger approaching, he would not have the ability to escape with He Sheng.
"Department...... Forget ......" The faceless man looked at Xu Qingsheng.
Xu Qingsheng nodded, no longer hesitated, and immediately walked to the stairs and left the secret room.
He Sheng said "hope", Xu Qingsheng understood what he meant, only by leaving alive with the truth can he have a chance to set things right, this is hope.
As soon as he left the secret room, the door was kicked open. The person who came was "He Sheng".
The two looked at each other, Xu Qingsheng didn't say a word, kicked his legs and exerted force, rushed directly to the roof, and at the same time threw a brown projectile downward.
The projectile hit the ground, exploding with a large amount of yellow smoke. The smoke is toxic and harmless, with a strong paralyzing effect, as long as it touches the skin.
Some of the soldiers who rushed too fast couldn't stop their feet, and they were stained with the yellow smoke, and they didn't even have time to shout "the groove" before they were flipped over.
This hand also succeeded in stopping the pursuers. The thief escaped with his life at that time, thanks to this thing.
"Little thief, you still dare to come!"
"He Sheng" was furious, because this trick was also used when he escaped, and he mistakenly thought that the one in front of him was the thief of the Book of Virtue.
"He Sheng" shot out angrily, opened his arms widely, and slapped his palms together on his chest.
A powerful hurricane squeezed the air in the room, and the windows and doors opened wide, draining the smoke in the room in an instant.
Xu Qingsheng originally broke the roof, but before he could stand still, he saw "He Sheng" make this move. Xu Qingsheng didn't have time to think about it, so he threw himself on the roof and lay on the roof.
As soon as he lay down, a powerful column of air mixed with yellow smoke erupted from the hole in the roof. It is a shame that Xu Qingsheng hid in time, otherwise he would have moved a stone to hit himself in the foot, and he was overturned by the anesthetic he threw out.
The air currents were very violent, and the holes in the roof were even bigger. Xu Qingsheng dodged the air pillar, and then he jumped to run.
"He Sheng" would not let him slip away easily, a black light flashed from his hand and shot towards Xu Qingsheng.
Xu Qingsheng's hairs stood on end, giving birth to a strong sense of crisis. Drawing his sword and turning around, he slammed into the black light.
Ping Pong –
Xu Qingsheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, but his body accelerated away with the strength of the other party, and he escaped ten feet away at once. When "He Sheng" caught up with the roof, Xu Qingsheng could see a blurred back.
"He Sheng" was furious and chased after him when he raised his feet. A Yuan Qi Realm master, using Yuan Force in his feet, that speed is quite terrifying, how can a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist compare?
In five breaths, "He Sheng" caught up with Xu Qingsheng. A black light slashed, Xu Qingsheng was cut in two, and his body fell to the ground.
"He Sheng" stepped forward, but what he saw was a piece of clothing that had been cut in half, and half of the clothes still had a yellow talisman attached to it.
It seemed that the talisman had not been damaged, and it was even jumping up and running with the half of the clothes. However, immediately after, it was shattered by a palm, turned into sparks, and burned to ashes.
"He Sheng" had a gloomy face, raised his eyes and looked, where can I still find Xu Qingsheng's figure now?
He was tricked, and he was deceived by a low-level martial artist. When Xu Qingsheng drew his sword to fight back, he found out that this person was not a thief of the Book of Virtues.
Two people have discovered his secret, and let them escape alive, for fear that this will affect his plans. This made him furious.
"Find, dig three feet into the ground for me, and find this person for me!" Fake He Sheng ordered to the soldiers who came with him with a gloomy face.
Time comes back to the present.
Xu Qingsheng has successfully avoided the outermost government soldiers, that is to say, he has broken through the encirclement pulled up by the government soldiers. As long as he doesn't get caught up, he should be safe.
However, at this moment, Xu Qingsheng stopped abruptly, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and stood motionless.
"Such a keen spiritual sense, he really deserves to be a peerless genius that is rare in the Daomen for thousands of years, even if he is down, he will not lose his demeanor in the slightest. ”
There was a chuckle behind him, but Xu Qingsheng didn't look back, but looked into a shadow on the left.
"Hahaha, this time I really took it, the famous Xu Qingsheng is really powerful. ”
There was indeed no one behind him, and a figure walked out from where Xu Qingsheng was looking.
"Who are you, and why do you know me?"
"Who am I? Hehe, I guess the people in the Daomen have long forgotten that there is a person like me. ”
Ah Ghost laughed at himself, "But it doesn't matter, I'm dead in the past, so don't mention it." Introduce yourself, you can call me a ghost. ”
"Ghost slave, from the Blood Demon Sect?" Xu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows, "So, the Blood Demon is also in Yueyang County?"
"Ha, am I so famous now?" Ah Ghost's smile faded, and he said coldly, "How do you know my identity? What is your identity now?"
"Are you the person who followed me today?" Xu Qingsheng replied.
"That's right, it's me, I didn't expect you to react quickly and let you run. The ghost snorted.
"How did you find me?"
"It's simple. The corners of Ah Ghost's mouth turned up slightly, "You were injured, and there were blood stains left at the scene." And the Blood Demon Sect is the ancestor of playing with blood, so ...... It's not difficult to track you. ”
Xu Qingsheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally figured out something.
"I don't just know who you are now, I also know who you used to be! Do you think that if you change your appearance, I won't be able to recognize you? Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect outcast, Liu Changgeng!"
