Chapter 6: The True Form of the Divine Tiger
After figuring out why this Dao person would investigate this matter, Liu Chen saw that the two did not have a conflicting purpose, so he told the Dao person what he knew.
"I see, no wonder I always feel like I'm seeing flowers in the fog no matter how much I explore in the past three days. Now it seems that I am afraid that the magnates of the city have taken action together for the sake of their wealth! In this way, I spent time in the province to screen the innocence one by one. β
After listening to Liu Chen's ambush in the valley and what he had seen and heard in the army, the man bowed his head and muttered for a long time, and slowly spoke. Then he glanced up at Liu Chen again and continued.
"I see that your eyebrows are tangled, and I think I am deeply disturbed. Just come with me to eliminate your grievances, and it can be regarded as repaying you for solving your doubts. β
Listening to this person's words, he planned to take revenge on his blood alone, and Liu Chen had no opinion on this. As long as those people can get retribution, it will be considered to have achieved the goal for Liu Chen, and it doesn't matter who makes the move.
However, out of prudence, Liu Chen felt that he really needed to follow along. After all, one more person has more strength, and if this person is allowed to go alone, maybe there will be some fish that slip through the net.
"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey. β
Thinking so, Liu Chen responded.
Seeing this, the man didn't say much, and after signaling Liu Chen to follow, he quickly shuttled through the messy streets and alleys of the northern city, heading towards the west.
When they reached the junction of Beicheng and Xicheng, the pace of the Taoist slowed down slightly. Because a little further away is from the city government, the crowd is relatively dense.
After walking a little further into the West City, I felt empty all of a sudden. I can only see a river meandering from west to east, and the mansion compound with carved beams and painted buildings is scattered all around, compared with the terrible environment of the northern city, it is simply a heaven and a place.
"That courtyard is the ancestral home of the Fu family who left the city, and whatever happened in the city could not be done without the participation of the Fu family. Today's murder begins in his house. β
Standing at the entrance of Xicheng, the man pointed to a courtyard that didn't look gorgeous, and said to Liu Chen. Looking at his familiar posture, it should be that he has paid much attention to this Fu family during the investigation in the past three days.
"It's not bad to punish the evil first? β
For the number one surname in the Taoist population, Liu Chen has no specific concept. Anyway, it was the Taoist who shot today, he only needed to pay attention to checking and filling in the gaps, and naturally the Taoist could come as he wanted.
Between the words, the two approached the Fu family's house, and when they saw the car and horse in front of his courtyard, they turned around and walked to the side to avoid the noise. Among those carriages and horses, Liu Chen saw the carriage that he had followed all the way. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this might probably be a matter of getting together to discuss dealing with Zhao Qian's army.
told the Taoist about his guess, and the Taoist also felt that Liu Chen's guess was probably not bad, so he said:
"If they all came, it would save me a lot of work. β
The two turned over and entered the hospital, and found themselves in a garden, and in a large house across the garden in front of them, there was a lot of noise, thinking that it was the place where those people gathered.
Seeing this, Liu Chen and the man walked across the garden towards the house. However, when he walked to the middle of the garden, Liu Chen suddenly heard a tiger roar in his ears, and the whole person subconsciously took three steps back.
When I came back to my senses, I was wondering where the tigers came from in this compound, could it be that the people of the Fu family still have a hobby of domesticating tigers as pets. He looked at the source of the sound, but saw only a bluestone, on which was painted with a tiger lying on its head.
What's going on? Could it be a hallucination?
Liu Chen settled down, wondering if he was hallucinating. However, that kind of majestic tiger power is so real, it made Liu Chen a little indistinguishable for a while.
"This is the true form of the Spirit Treasure Talisman Divine Tiger, and it is especially good at defeating ghosts. You have a body to shelter, so as long as you don't mess around, you don't care about it. β
The Taoist in front saw that Liu Chen's expression was wrong, and after turning around and taking a look, he said lightly.
'Lingbao Fu, this Fu family also has something to do with that demon Dao?, if it doesn't matter, how could it happen to appear in the valley that day. β
After hearing the word Lingbao, Liu Chen suddenly cheered up and looked carefully at the tiger on the bluestone. Thinking that Zhao Qian said that the Lingbao Daoist was from the Daomen Fu Sect, he felt that Lu Qingcai, the demon Daoist who trained him into a zombie that day, should have something to do with the Fu family.
But now is not the time to be distracted, just a few breaths in Liu Chen's heart thinking about the demon Dao, the Taoist has already walked to the door of the house and pushed the door open.
"Who are you to dare to break into my Fu family!"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and then a mid-air roar was heard. Listening to that tone, it seems that he is the head of the Fu family.
Looking into the house along the door that was pushed open, there was a group of middle-aged and elderly men inside, three of whom Liu Chen had seen dressed up in front of the barracks.
They lay on low beds one by one, which were wrapped in a circle along the walls of the house. In that circle, five or six women with white faces stood around a copper basin. In that basin, it was not clear water wine juice, but half a basin of bright red blood.
Seeing that pot of bright red, Liu Chen couldn't help but feel his eyelids jump. Such a large amount of blood should come from those women, looking at the size of the copper basin, these women may not live long.
"What a bunch of ignorant and fearless fools, thinking that with the support of Taoism, they can be unscrupulous?"
The Taoist seemed to know what the basin of blood was used for, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and he looked at the people in the room and said coldly.
"It turned out to be a Taoist priest? I don't know which family it is, but he is so ignorant of etiquette and directly breaks into the inner courtyard of my house! If he retreats now, the old man will be forgotten. Otherwise, I will hand a letter of paper to the court, and Tianwei will be furious, how can you be a mere Taoist priest who can bear it!"
The person who spoke was still the one who had just let out a roar full of anger, and Liu Chen originally thought it was a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect it to be an old man with white hair. He watched the Daoist carry the long sword, his pupils shrank, the anger in his tone subsided a lot, and his words became persuasive and frightened, instead of the angry rebuke just now.
Glancing at the head of the Fu family, the Taoist slowly pulled out his long sword, and the sword light of Sen Han suddenly made everyone in the room panic. Some of them were cowardly, and they cried out loudly regardless of it.
"Don't mistake yourself, this person! My Fu family is the family of a dignified scholar and a doctor, and I have been a feudal minister for three generations. If you kill me, you will shake the government and the public, and then the world will be great, but there will be no place for it."
Watching the Taoist pull out his long sword inch by inch, the head of the Fu family, who was still in a posture just now, hurriedly got up in a panic and avoided behind the low bed. At the same time, he poked his head out and hurriedly said a word, trying to stop the killing intent of the Daoist.
"Zhengβ"
Only a sword roar was heard, and the Taoist and the sword turned into a light and shadow in the room, and then heard a series of pops falling to the ground.
"You, you, how dare you!"
Covering his heart, the head of the Fu family looked at the Taoist with resentful eyes. When he looked down to see the blood spraying on his chest quickly rendering in the silk clothes, his originally ruddy face contorted under the dual effect of fear and anger.
"Click. β
The head of the Fu family slammed a palm-sized bronze plaque on the low bed in front of him to the ground, and then saw the bronze plaque split into two halves with a bang.
After doing this, the life of the head of the Fu family finally came to an end. However, he still used his last strength to look up at the Taoist, and a strange smile appeared on his distorted face.
