Chapter 124, I met my senior brother by chance
Ding Nian gave an order that was almost crazy to the point of surprise, and in Liu San'er's eyes, even Huang Xinran, who was the most loyal to her, couldn't help but be stunned, and then there was a dumbfounded and exaggerated look.
The others, including Liu San'er, were much calmer than Huang Xinran, but the incomparable surprise still made their faces more or less reveal some true thoughts in their hearts: Is this kind of work done by cultivators? Why do you want to mix your own blood into it? Wouldn't this crow's mouth be too tricky?
Among them, Cao Yangshan's expression was the most weird, Liu San'er looked over intentionally or unintentionally, and found that there was no ripple on the face of this "senior brother", only the corners of his mouth kept moving, as if he was laughing at something.
Seeing this, Liu San'er suddenly realized: Cao Yangshan wanted to laugh, the kind of laughter that let go of his voice and was unrestrained. But now that Ding Nian was in the thatched hut, he didn't dare to laugh out loud in front of Ding Nian, and even silent laughter was avoided as much as possible.
As for why Cao Yangshan laughed, Liu San'er also felt that he had guessed probably: before Ding Nian appeared, Cao Yangshan had asked everyone to share his pleasant experience on the road of life, saying that it was only good for everyone and no harm, but everyone was confused. In the eyes of this senior brother, everyone is only cooperating on the surface, and no one takes his words seriously in their hearts. Now when I hear such an order, it is naturally like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and then I think of Cao Yangshan's previous reminder, it is good not to shake my chin off.
Seeing with his own eyes that those who ignored his advice being duly punished, how could Cao Yangshan not want to laugh.
In fact, at first, Liu San'er really thought that the old fox just wanted to adjust the atmosphere, and he couldn't believe Cao Yangshan's words at all. He himself even made up more than half of the experience he told, just to be able to get by, who would have thought that this senior brother really knew some of the inside story of tonight in advance. When he came to the village and knew that Ding Nian was going to kill someone, he thought that it might be Cao Yangshan's worry and concern that people with low cultivation such as him and Du Quanzhi would drag others back, and taking turns to talk about pleasant experiences at the Yuanpeng Inn was just an ordinary gesture of goodwill warning. At that time, he still thought that this "senior brother" was probably thinking too much, although his cultivation was a little lower, but he really didn't hesitate to kill people at all.
But when Ding Nian issued the order to chop up all the invading black-clothed people, Liu San'er was really stunned, and began to admire Cao Yangshan, "Senior Brother" is Senior Brother, and he can be described as doing things without leakage.
Cao Yangshan must have gotten the outline of tonight's action from Ding Nian, and this news must have been revealed to him by Ding Nian on his own initiative, so he had to figure out what Ding Nian's true intention was in doing this.
Ding Nian is a very cautious person, with her age, cultivation, and style of doing things, she shouldn't trust an old fox like Cao Yangshan, and every time she speaks, she must have considered Zhou Xiang, and she definitely won't reveal tonight's action plan in advance to an apprentice who is not fully trusted for no reason. But she still said it, then there must be a deep meaning in it, and the biggest possibility is to let him disclose the news to others, so that he can grasp the true thoughts of Liu San'er and others in advance, maybe he can find out some wavering and timid guys, or see if Cao Yangshan will betray her and so on.
But Cao Yangshan is an old fox, and he knows that this matter is very troublesome to deal with, if he pretends not to know Ding Nian's intentions, he will be considered reckless, and he will definitely have a bad impression in Ding Nian's heart in the future. However, he can't directly tell others about tonight's bloody arrangements, because no matter where he is a disciple, there is an unwritten rule that apprentices are not allowed to chew on Master's gossip, let alone leak all the things that Master has not allowed to be made public. If he said it directly, it could be said that he betrayed Ding Nian, and the consequences were worse than not saying anything. Then he can only use a compromise method, and the method of talking about pleasant experiences is not only a subtle hint that there will be an unpleasant event that will happen soon, but also does not explain anything to everyone, not only does it fall well in Ding Nian, but juniors and disciples like Liu San'er also want to thank him for his prompt, which perfectly solves the problem.
It's a pity that their group is meeting for the first time, and there is no trust in each other, so Cao Yangshan got a return too late.
I have to say that in terms of dealing with people, Liu San'er thinks that he is too far behind people like "Senior Brother". Although he is also constantly improving, and sometimes he is complacent about his little cleverness, but in front of the real old fox, he is really nothing.
And in a group of people, there is not only an old fox in Cao Yangshan.
Li Jizhong was the first to respond to Ding Nian's order, only to hear him say "yes", and the whole person disappeared into the rain curtain at a trot, really like a fox. This is incompatible with the old man who only knows how to pretend to be stupid in Liu San'er's eyes, but it is like the speculative businessman depicted in some of the chronicles.
Whatever has taken the lead, it will be much easier to do, not to mention that at present, in addition to executing this order is the best choice at present.
Immediately afterward, everyone else happily accepted the order. This time, they were no longer grouped, but soon after leaving the thatched hut where Ding Nian was, they automatically separated very tacitly, looking for the corpse to be carried alone.
The corpse was quickly gathered in front of the thatched hut, except for the tower-like man who was not able to come by Du Quanzhi more than that, none of the other fifteen black-clothed people who attacked escaped, all of them were killed, and the prisoner who was forced by Bao Xiaojie to interrogate before wanted to be inside, but more than a dozen corpses dressed in the same uniform were mixed together, and Liu San'er couldn't immediately identify which one it was through the wounds on the corpse for a while. The thought that he might be blackmailed when he went to find out about the prisoners of the men in black made his mood even worse.
Subsequently, the bodies of the two foundation building cultivators were also moved over and thrown together with the black-clothed man during the Qi training period, and the storage magic weapon on the corpse was taken away by Cao Yangshan and handed over to Ding Nian in the grass house.
Because Ding Nianyan made it clear that he wanted to chop up the corpse, and then contacted the three-legged crow that was waiting to be fed, Cao Yangshan asked if he wanted to strip the clothes of the man in black, and immediately received a positive answer. So, except for Huang Xinran, a group of people had to squat on the corpse and get busy.
Some of the storage artifacts on the corpse during the Qi cultivation period had already been taken away when they were killed, and even if they were not taken, they would definitely not be spared when they were carried back. Therefore, there was no conflict in the whole process of stripping, and everyone was silently busy with the corpse, as if it was not human clothes that were to be peeled off, but just some animal fur.
Liu San'er had an accident when he peeled the first corpse, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he had to endure the shock and discomfort in his heart and continue to work. He saw that among the corpses were his second senior brother Sha Jiang and fourth senior brother Bai Yangliu in Da Zhoumen, although there was a shroud of night and rain, he was sure that he would not look away. One of them was stripped by Cao Yangshan and the other by Fu Yichang, each of them had at least five fatal wounds on their bodies, and those who were already dead could no longer die.
Liu San'er clearly remembered that when he left Dazhoumen for the last time, he and Sha Jiang went to Wuchenzong to deliver a letter, but when they left the mountain gate, they were half-coerced and half-lured by Baiyangliu, plus Sha Jiang silently supported him to change his route and go to Daliangmen instead. Why did these two people appear here? They didn't go to the Dustless Sect? They lost the old man's letter, or did the temple of the Dustless Sect be too big to look down on the little family business of the Great Zhou Gate?
Although there were countless thoughts in his heart for a while, Liu San'er didn't dare to show it. When he realized that he had lost his temper, he immediately regained his usual composure and continued to strip the unknown corpse. But he soon found that he couldn't change the current situation by himself, and once he made a wrong decision, not only Ding Nian would be angry with him, but these "senior brothers" who killed the red eyes on the side would probably tear him apart first. He had to show something to hide the mood that was about to be revealed on his face.
With a "swish", Liu San'er decisively pulled out the sword of the battle, and then slashed at the corpse under his feet in the eyes of everyone.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the smell of blood and blood that filled the air suddenly woke up everyone who were stunned, and they all sacrificed their flying swords, and soon even Huang Xinran joined in.
Liu San'er didn't care about these at all, and he didn't care about the whistling of the flying swords one after another and the sound of the sword breaking through the flesh and blood. He just wanted to end it all as soon as possible, away from the terrible woman in the house who gave him nightmares, and he repeated in his heart: "Shall I take revenge?
......
Juxian Tavern is one of the most famous taverns in Tianzhenfang City, usually it is overcrowded, many news brokers are here to buy and sell or exchange information, by the way to drink a few glasses of the spirit wine brewed by this tavern itself, but today there are very few people here, several Qi cultivation period cultivators Xi Xi Lang Lang Lang are distributed in the hall on the first floor, occasionally there will be slight conversations and sighs from time to time, which makes the atmosphere of the entire tavern seem particularly depressed.
The shopkeeper of the tavern was a middle-aged fat man in the middle of his life, staring blankly at a pot of wine on the counter, and he was indignant in his heart, and he wanted to get rid of the old guys in the hall and the three young fools in the box on the second floor, so that he could close the shop. It's not that he doesn't want to do business, or he doesn't like the business situation that is not so good today. He really had something to do today, but he couldn't leave without permission when the tavern was open. Glancing at the two listless mortals running around, he waved his hand and motioned for them to split up and sell some stronger liquor out, and send this group of unsavvy guys away as soon as possible.
Soon, the shopkeeper was disappointed, a few old guys on the first floor obviously did not buy the account of the running hall, listening to their tone did not seem to have the slightest intention of buying spirits, and soon the other runner who went downstairs also came down with a dejected face, and there was no need to ask the news given that it was not much better.
The shopkeeper really wanted to open his mouth to curse, but he didn't dare. First, this tavern is not his, the owner is the foundation of the Wuchen Sect, he has always been cautious and obedient to sit in the position of the shopkeeper for more than ten years, counting the spirit stones every day has a large income higher than the same level, I don't know how many people I know and don't know. Although the boss left a message earlier, if there are no customers today, the store can be closed for a day, but the sky is not in favor of people, but there are these guys with different hobbies sitting in the store, and there is no trouble, he has no reason to drive people away. Second, his strength is not enough, two of the several old guys on the first floor are in the late stage of Qi training, he has no way to start, and even when he sees it, he has to show a look of awe, and although the three fools on the second floor who are not familiar with romance are the highest cultivation is equivalent to him, but for some reason he can smell a dangerous breath from that person's body, more than ten years of observation and observation make him feel that the training has always been very accurate, and he is sure that it is a guy who is even more difficult to provoke.
After about a cup of tea, the shopkeeper finally couldn't stand it anymore, and told the runner to watch it temporarily, take a deep breath and talk to the old guy in the hall in person, after paying a lot of price, he finally emptied the first floor, signaled to a runner and then he went straight to the upstairs box, and when he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but cheer himself up, and said: Fools also love spirit stones, right?
After that, knocking on the door, reporting to the door, pushing the door in, everything seemed to be going well, the shopkeeper was complacent, closed the door again, and then rushed to the three of them and said, "Hehe... It's so lively outside today, why don't the three Taoist friends go out and have a look?"
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed one after another.
A Confucian said with a smile: "If you don't go, don't go, is the shopkeeper here for this? What's so beautiful about the excitement, it's better to drink and chat here!"
"Yes, Brother Du and I hit it off at first sight, and we were talking about Xingtou, but I don't look at ten girls who don't wear clothes outside at this time!haha..." A swarthy young man interjected: "Come on, come on, Brother Du, I'll toast you again! Brother Liu will also do it together!"
"Okay!" The fat man known as Brother Liu raised his glass and touched the other two, drank it all with a smile, then got up and picked up the wine jug and gave the shopkeeper an empty cup to the cupkeeper, and sent it over: "I guess the shopkeeper must have something to say, haha... It's not too late to drink this cup first!"
This fat man is Liu San'er, the Confucian surnamed Du is naturally Du Quanzhi, and the swarthy young man is Huang Chun. The three of them were all drunk, so they couldn't restrain themselves, and they spoke more casually than usual.
"It's... Three... I..."The shopkeeper wanted to push off the wine glass in front of him, but the words swirled back and forth on his tongue for a while and swallowed back, took the wine with both hands and poured it into his mouth, and then reversed the glass and shook it, and the wine did not fall.
"Good!" the three of them cheered in unison.
The shopkeeper immediately struck while the iron was hot, pinched the wine glass and arched his hand again: "I want to ask the three of you to do a little favor, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"
"Haha... What a coincidence, we also have a little help to trouble the shopkeeper!" Liu San'er glanced at the other two, and the three of them laughed at the same time.
