(PS: The large crowd of 500 people is almost full!!first come, first served!!!)
Chu Xifeng and Su Chang'an watched Du Wei and his three hundred black-armored tigers go away, Chu Xifeng's face was as cold as usual, but Su Chang'an's already gloomy face became more and more ugly with time, and in the end, his brows were even more crowded, as if he was trying to endure something.
Just when Su Changan's face changed from red to blue, from blue to purple. Du Wei and his party finally disappeared completely from the eyes of the two of them.
"Whew. Chu Xifeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his hand also lightly tapped on Su Chang'an's back at this time, and Su Chang'an's body seemed to have suddenly untied some invisible restraint. His head was jerked down, his hands on his knees, and then one or two loud retching sounds rang out, and the acid in his stomach spurted out of his mouth. Because he was in such a hurry in the morning, he barely ate anything, so all he had in his stomach was sour water.
Su Changan kept vomiting, and his stomach was empty, but he still kept retching, as if he had to vomit out all his internal organs before he could stop. And Chu Xifeng seemed to have expected such a situation, so he stood aside without surprise, neither doing anything nor saying anything. just waited quietly for Su Changan.
After a long time, Su Changan's retching voice gradually subsided. He stood up with a pale face, but he still didn't dare to look at the rotting corpses scattered around him.
Su Changan felt scared, this kind of emotion didn't seem to appear in this star king of the General Star Society.
But he did feel scared, he said that he was only a boy who had turned seventeen two months away. He had never seen so many corpses in the long and nearly seventeen years of experience that had preceded him. Even in Yunyun Ridge that night, the corpses he saw were no more than the number of hands.
At this moment, his eyes were full of flesh and blood, and the impact of such a picture on him was too great. His heart trembled for no reason, and his stomach tumbled with it.
Su Changan felt that he seemed to be better, he looked at Chu Xifeng with doubts in his eyes, but before he could speak, Chu Xifeng's voice sounded in his ears.
"Facing the killing head-on is important for the swordsman. Chu Xifeng looked ahead and said.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, he had to agree with Chu Xifeng's words in his heart, and when he was about to say something like thank you for his advice, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at Chu Xifeng and said, "What I want to ask is, why did you just seal my veins!"
The veins are the channels through which the monk's spiritual power operates. The monk who was sealed could not use the slightest spiritual power and could not make any movements. And when Su Changan first entered this Lanling Town, he felt a wave of nausea and was about to vomit, but Chu Xifeng's eyes quickly sealed the veins, and he only tried his best to endure the tumbling in his stomach with a gloomy face, but he couldn't do anything. It wasn't until just now, after Du Wei walked away, that Chu Xifeng unlocked his seal.
Su Changan's question did not make Chu Xifeng's face change in any way, he just glanced at Su Changan lightly, and then said coldly.
"Face is equally important to the swordsman. ”
Su Changan was speechless.
Lanling Town is not big, they soon walked to an empty horse road, looking at the style of the surrounding buildings, this should be the market of Lanling Town in the past, and it should be a very lively place. But at the moment, there are only rotting corpses left here.
Su Changan's face was still a little pale, but it was much better than just now, at this time he was looking around vigilantly with a knife, while Chu Xifeng was squatting next to a carrion corpse that had long been unable to see clearly, checking something. He'd done this dozens of times along the way, and without checking it once, his face turned gloomy.
This time was no exception, when Chu Xifeng stood up, his two brows were almost furrowed together.
Su Changan didn't understand why Chu Xifeng showed such an expression, he only felt that his expression was too gloomy, so gloomy that it was like a dark cloud that would sprinkle a storm at any time.
So he asked, "Senior Chu, what is going on?"
Chu Xifeng glanced at him, and then said, "It's weird." ”
"Weird?"
"Yes, it's weird, you look at these corpses, their wounds are in different locations, but they are all fatal with some kind of sharp weapon. And if you look closely at where their bodies are placed, it's very random and scattered. Do you know what that means?"
When Su Changan heard this, he turned his head and looked at the positions of the corpses around him, thought about it again, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Chu Xifeng seemed to have expected Su Changan to answer like this, so he explained without looking back: "Look at these corpses, the location where they fell is almost the same as the location where they were before they died, and this should be a market, and from the location of these corpses, it is not difficult to see that these corpses were visiting the market before they died. ”
Su Changan was puzzled when he heard this, he didn't quite understand what Chu Xifeng wanted to say. This is the market, and these people came here to visit the market before they died. This is a very normal thing, why do you need to emphasize it? He originally wanted to mention Chu Xifeng, but he suddenly remembered what Chu Xifeng had said-face, which is equally important to the swordsman.
So he thought about it very seriously, and then decided to pretend to be suddenly enlightened.
And Chu Xifeng glanced back at Su Changan at this time, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but secretly think: Chang'an, this kid is good at everything, has a pure heart, and is willing to endure hardships and make progress, but unfortunately his brain is a little stupid. These deceased people came to the market when they died, naturally they came to visit the market, this kind of thing he thought Su Changan was stupid again, but there should be such common sense, he said that these were just to drag out the things that followed, but he didn't want Su Changan to understand even such a simple truth after he mentioned it.
He wanted to say something, but then he remembered what he had just said - face is just as important to the swordsman.
Although Su Changan's cultivation is still low, he is a good sword, and he is naturally a knife maker in Chu Xifeng's heart. So he decided to save Su Changan's face, so he squeezed out a teachable expression on his cold face.
The two swordsmen, an old man and a young man, both continued the conversation tacitly with enough respect for the other party.
"But it's not normal. Chu Xifeng continued, his face changed back to that indifferent look.
"Well, why is it abnormal?" Su Changan wondered.
"Suppose you're in the market and suddenly someone breaks in and injures or kills a few people. What will happen to you at this time?" Chu Xifeng asked.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then lifted his knife and said, "Naturally, I cut him." ”
This answer made Chu Xifeng stunned, and after staring at Su Changan for a while, he said, "What I'm saying is that if you, like these residents, don't have spiritual power, you have no power to fight back against those gangsters. ”
"That's right. Su Changan touched his nose a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Then naturally he ran away." ”
"Yes, it's running. Faced with such a situation, ordinary people naturally have to run, and according to the instinct of most people, they will naturally gather towards a place with a lot of people. And you see that we have traveled all the way, this town is full of corpses, they are all scattered branches, and from their demeanor, there is no sign of escape or panic in their positions. Do you know what that means?"
Su Changan thought about it very seriously, he seemed to understand what Chu Xifeng wanted to express, but he didn't know how to say it clearly for a while. He opened his mouth, and the words came to his lips, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
This illustrates. Chu Xifeng didn't seem to have the patience to wait for Su Changan to organize his words, and he continued to speak to himself.
"Thousands of people in this town were killed with sharp weapons at almost the same time!"
