Chapter 33: Chasing the Soul for a Thousand Miles

Opposite Qian Wanli and Le Tiancheng was a teenage boy, the boy was dressed in tatters, his face was yellow and thin, and although he was tall, he looked obviously malnourished. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When he woke up in the morning, he found the token lying quietly in front of his house. This poor kid had never seen such fine metal, and his first reaction in his mind was - can this thing be sold for money?

Picking up this token, the child hurriedly ran to the blacksmith shop in the neighboring village, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he met the two immortals of Penglai who asked for directions. The token in the child's hand immediately attracted the idea of the two, and Le Tiancheng asked in surprise: "Child, where did you get this brand?"

The boy hurriedly hid the token behind his back in fear, he naively thought that this token was lost by the two monsters in front of him. Le Tiancheng immediately understood what the child meant, took out a small ingot of five taels of silver, and handed it to the child: "Child, give me that token, this ingot of silver for you." ā€

The boy was deeply attracted by the silver, silver is a legendary thing for him, his family does not even have a few copper coins, these five taels of silver can cover the income of his stepfather for a year! The child handed over the token to Le Tiancheng, and was about to run away as soon as he grabbed the silver, but was blocked by Qian Wanli's dodge.

Le Tiancheng took a closer look at this token, sweat oozed from his forehead, and asked anxiously: "Child, what is the relationship between you and Fan Ronghua?

The boy timidly looked at the two monsters in front of him, and did not dare to speak. At this time, a five or six-year-old girl ran in the distance, shouting as she ran: "Brother, where are you going?" ā€

When Lotte Cheng saw it, he hurriedly grabbed the little girl, pointed at the boy and said, "Is he your brother?"

The girl nodded, and the boy began, "Don't bully my sister!"

Lotte Cheng smiled, looking at these two children, the girl was also dressed in a "hundred clothes", and she looked as lacking in nutrition as the boy. Lotte Cheng took out a big silver ingot and shook it at the boy: "Answer my question, my sister will return it to you, and this ingot of silver is also yours." ā€

The boy said: "Fan Ronghua is my father-in-law, my name is Lu Kai, she is my sister called Lu Suzhen, and I picked up the sign in front of my door in the morning." ā€

"You also picked it up, and what does it have to do with Lujiapu?"

Lu Kai gritted his teeth and said: "My father's name is Lu Yunpeng, he is from the Lu family, and later became an official, I don't want my mother, my mother took me and my sister to live, my sister is too young, and she has to breastfeed, and her mother has to work again, and it didn't take long for her to die of exhaustion, I took my sister to beg for food, and I didn't have a godfather to take it in." ā€

Lotte Cheng nodded: "Your father is the chief soldier in Chenzhou?"

"I don't know. ā€

"Do you have a grandmother in your family?

Lu Kai was surprised: "How do you know?"

Lotte Cheng shook his head and sighed, "Did you pick up this brand this morning?"

Luke nodded.

Le Tiancheng handed the silver to Lu Kai and sighed, "Take me to your house!"

Although Lu Kai didn't know what these two people were doing, he still brought the two to the house, Fan Ronghua was not at home, and there was only a blind old woman at home.

The house was three dilapidated grass huts, and the house could be said to be surrounded by four walls, except for some necessary daily necessities and tattered furniture, there was nothing in the house. The old woman was blind, but her hearing was very good, and as soon as a few people walked in, the old woman said, "Su Zhen, who is here?"

Le Tiancheng said forward: "Under Le Tiancheng, the master of the four products in front of the emperor who guards Hua Chong with a sword, it is my apprentice who asked me to come to find your old man." ā€

The woman was stunned: "What are you looking for me?"

Le Tiancheng said with a smile: "You don't have to hide it from me, my disciple Hua Chong has already secretly visited you, he is now with Lord Bao in Chenzhou to release grain, and he will come here in the near future, because he is afraid that you will have any mistakes, so he taught me to escort my senior brother together." ā€

The old woman snorted coldly: "I'm a blind old woman, what else do I protect?"

Le Tiancheng threw the token in his hand on the table with a "dang long" sound: "This thing is called the Soul Chasing Order, and it is a token of a famous killer on the rivers and lakes." ā€

"Killer?"

"This person commits a crime differently, every three days before the killing, send a soul chasing order to someone's house, and the person who receives this token, whether he dies and flees within three days, will inevitably die three days later. ā€

The old woman said movingly: "If you take the token, you will die, how can you die again after three days?"

"Five years ago, the Shimen county order was ordered by him to chase the soul, the county order to take poison to commit suicide, but the poison had no effect, hanged himself but broke the rope, waved the knife to kill himself, but broke the knife, for three days, his family witnessed him use no less than 20 methods to commit suicide, but all failed. ā€

"Seven years ago, Jiangnan Caijianmen received the order to chase souls, and the master of the sect ordered the fifty-seven disciples under the sect to flee, but within three days, all of them were arrested, and no one left the head of Caijianmen alive. ā€

"Ten years ago, Shanxi's richest man's 'Little God of Wealth' received a soul chasing order, he hired ten of Shanxi's most famous masters, and asked the master to build an iron house, no one was allowed to enter the house, and someone sent in from a window to eat, drink and Lazar. Unfortunately, he died in the iron house three days later. ā€

"Enough!" the old woman looked a little excited: "Who is he, why did he come to me!"

Lotte Cheng picked up the token, and the front of the token said "Chasing Souls" and the reverse side read "Death". Le Tiancheng rubbed the token and sighed: "This person's name is Peng Hai Peng Gongliang, and the people on the rivers and lakes are called 'Chasing Souls for Thousands of Miles'." He won't take the initiative to find anyone, only people go to him, the price of his killing is very high, every time he kills a person, it is priced according to the value of the killing, it is said that there is no time less than 100,000 taels, so the person who wants him to come must be a person with a very high status!"

The old woman sighed: "That must be Zhao Defang!"

"Eight Kings Zhao Defang?"

The old woman sneered: "I'm dead, won't this Great Song World be in the hands of their family again!"

Qian Wanli said anxiously on the side: "What's the use of saying this, let's think about how to pass the current hurdle first, then Peng Gongliang is the fifth master on the black list, can we save Guotai's life with the two of us?"

Without waiting for Le Tiancheng to answer, the old woman preemptively said: "Thank you two for your kindness, it's useless to keep my old life, they can take it if they want to." I have been involved with you many times, and I can't bear it anymore, since they have sent a master this time, I will leave my old life to them. ā€

"Wait, what did you say? How many times? Has anyone been here before?"

The old woman was stunned and said, "Didn't you repel someone who came a few times ago?"

Le Tiancheng and Qian Wanli glanced at each other: "We haven't been here yet." ā€

It turned out that this assassination was not the first time that the blind old man was in distress, and this blind old woman was none other than Concubine Li, who was sent to the cold palace for giving birth to a monster. Concubine Liu teamed up with Guo Huai to burn down the cold palace, intending to burn Concubine Li to death, but was saved by Qin Feng, Yu Zhong and other loyal palace people and lived here. Originally, no one else knew about this, but in recent years, several groups of people have come to kill Concubine Li, but they have not succeeded, and there is always a mysterious person who has taken action to get rid of these killers.

Le Tiancheng and Qian Wanli don't know what's going on after thinking about it, but it's good to have a helper in secret, you must know that this Peng Hai ranks fifth on the black list, although he has done a lot of evil, but the top ten people on the black list are all excellent martial arts. Let's just say that a dragon Yunfeng defeated Xiahou Ren in one move, and her master Bi Yuexiao was the second on the black list. If the apprentice is like this, the master's martial arts can be imagined.

Although the two immortals of Penglai were apprehensive, but after all, they could only wait here, the two originally planned to enter Beijing to seek official support, but Concubine Li thought that it was very likely that the person sent was Zhao Defang, the eighth king, if it was really him, then rashly entering Beijing would be tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

There are only three days, and it is difficult to come back when you go to Chenzhou, and the Bai brothers have already left Chenzhou, although Hua Chong has achieved success in the art industry, compared with Peng Hai, Penglai Erxian still has no confidence. After thinking about it, in the end, the two decided to wait and see, after all, the two of them were from Bixia Palace, even if Peng Hai could beat them, he might also take into account the prestige of Yu He and Xia Suiliang.

When it was time to hold the lamp, Fan Ronghua dragged his tired body back, as the local "place", that is, the director of the neighborhood committee in later generations, an ordinary grassroots civil servant, he originally did not have much work to do. But a poor family, two young children, and a blind old man made it impossible for him not to run around.

His family is very poor, he has been poor since he was a child, because the whole town is like this, Fan Ronghua has to go out to beg for food in his time outside of work, he has to rush to Xiangfu County in the morning to do odd jobs and beg, and go home at night to cook for the family who has been hungry for a day.

Today is different from the past, in normal times, only when the county order is changed or the superior inspects, someone sends money and food to his family, but today, on this day of the New Year's Day, there are two Kaifeng Mansion officials, not only wine and meat on the table, but also a full fifty taels of silver!

Fan Ronghua was stunned, he didn't know why happiness suddenly appeared, he only felt that something was wrong, because the old lady had a sad face, and the two children were not as happy as when they had a full meal in the past.

He wanted to know why, but no one wanted to tell him, two children were ignorant and didn't understand, and three adults couldn't bear it. In this way, for three whole days, everyone ate and slept, slept and ate, and Fan Ronghua felt that this kind of day was simply - waiting for death!

Three days later, the night was very quiet, Fan Ronghua's family did not sleep, Fan Ronghua did not ask why, he had already felt from the old lady's solemn expression that something would happen tonight, he had experienced this kind of thing several times. The two children didn't sleep either, and although they didn't quite know what was going on, they knew that it was the same thing that scared them a few times last year and the year before that.

Le Tiancheng stood inside the door of the house, staring at the door with two eyes, and his whole body was full of internal force, ready to smash the person outside the door with the iron palm of his fame. Qian Wanli sat on the only unbroken chair in the room, carrying his own weapon in his hand - a lone dragon iron crutch. He placed a chair in the middle of the room, the roof, windows, and doors were all within his attack range, and as soon as someone approached, he would let them know that the "Eight Steps to the Sky" was not for nothing!

Suddenly, a piercing flute sound came from afar, which made people feel very uncomfortable. When the flute is high-pitched, it makes people's heads bloated, and when it is low, it makes people feel out of breath. Qian Wanli held the iron crutch tightly, and used all his internal strength to resist the sound of the flute. Lotte Cheng's face was a little pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful of sneak attacks, the idea is prickly!"

Qian Wanli's internal strength is slightly weaker than Le Tiancheng's, and at this moment, he is full of true qi and does not dare to speak, for fear that the internal force will rush backwards and hurt himself, so he can only nod and signal Le Tiancheng.

The sound of the flute is getting closer and closer, and the faces of the two immortals of Penglai are getting more and more ugly, but outsiders do not come in, but keep blowing this breathtaking flute outside the door. Le Tiancheng wanted to rush out of the door and smash the outsiders to death with his palm, but this flute continued to erode the meridians around him, as long as he made a move, I was afraid that the muscles and veins of the whole body would be broken!

At this moment, Fan Ronghua, Concubine Li and the two children couldn't stand the devastation of the flute and passed out. Lotte Cheng and Qian Wanli worked hard to support, but they couldn't take a step forward, they could only barely support it, and they didn't faint. However, they also knew that they would not last long......
