Chapter 17: Murder
It is said that on the afternoon of the day before the Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year, on a whim, Mu Xiuyan called four people to come and instruct them on their practice. As they talked about the rise, he suddenly received a message from Shang Chenxi that he would come right away.
After a while, Shang Chenxi pushed the door in. Everyone saw that although his energy was vigorous, his face was a little yellow, and Mu Xiu couldn’t help asking: “What’s the matter? His complexion is not good? Is it anti-cold wax?”
Shang Chenxi smiled and said: “It’s okay, it’s still alive. Thanks to your echo wall this time, or maybe I won’t see you.” As he took out the breastplate from his arms, I saw it only. The cracks are so dense that it is already scrapped.
Mu Suuyan was shocked and said: “What’s the situation? Who hurt you!”
Shang Chenxi looked at the No. 4 Elementary School of the Construction Department, meaning that a few people are needed to avoid it. Mu Weihuan said: “It’s okay, if you don’t have anything too evasive, just say, let them know that the arena is sinister, and if you really need to keep it secret, I will let them go down first.”
Shang Chenxi said: “It’s okay, let them listen to it, just remember not to spread the word for the time being.”
“You know that last time I accompanied a person from the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect to worship the mountain, and the three parties made some deals. I don’t know the specific content of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect and you, I only know the little girl who brought me. Later, I stayed at your door. After I completed the transaction with Guimen, I followed the people of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect and went down the mountain. As the middle liner, I have the obligation to **** them away from Shuxuan Xianzhou.
This operation was carried out in secret, so the walking route is also confidential. Because the things and the amount of the transaction are relatively expensive and huge, for the sake of safety, we also temporarily changed the route back, but even so, our party was ambushed before reaching the last teleportation point. ”
Mu Suoyan’s expression became more solemn when he heard this, and asked: “What you mean is that only three parties know about this. You changed the route halfway, but you encountered an ambush. Then someone leaked the secret. Who is the other party?”
Shang Chenxi replied: “We changed the route on the way and we didn’t know the Vientiane Gate of Freedom, so the person who leaked the secrets would not be you. And the final return route I only reported to a few people in the business, the people of the blood moon black sand sect. There is no time to inform them of the clan, but the other party can set up an ambush in advance. This is very strange. I haven’t found it out yet. Let’s not talk about this first, let’s talk about the process first.”
“The convoy was attacked when it went to a remote valley near the river. The opponent was not only crowded but also powerful. Two masters from the reborn realm led a number of people from the Huantan and Wenyang realms. The two sides started a fierce battle. , We could not resist the enemy while fighting and retreating. The death and injury were not small. Finally, Uncle Fu Sheng, who led the blood moon black sand sect, was beaten down the cliff by many people and plunged into the river. With the palm of the opponent’s reborn master, if it weren’t for this heart-shield, it would have been hard to escape death at that time.”
“Fortunately, we were thinking about Zhou Xiang. The convoy was in the Ming Dynasty, and the merchants and the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect had a group of people behind. We were trailing a long distance behind us to protect and respond. In times of crisis, the two groups are in time. I rushed to save me and forced the other side back together.”
“But even so, we don’t have the advantage. The other party retreats all over, and we have not been able to capture even one person alive. They are all black scarf masks, and their skills are mixed, and some are obviously not from the Shuxuan Continent. Judging which school it came from. The only clue left is that when I left, I said a word, saying that the Blood Cloud Demon Dao Sect will not let it go.”
Mu Suzuo said, “I’ve never heard the name of the Blood Cloud Demon Dao Sect before? How did you lose?”
Shang Chenxi replied: “Our business has been investigating and making unannounced visits in the past few months, but we have not received much useful information. We can only judge that there have been several small and large robberies in recent years that are similar to this attack, but This is the first time the other party has beaten the name of the Bleeding Cloud Demon Taoist School. As for the loss, except for the casualties, all the cargo in the car was there, but some of the valuable trading items kept in the uncle Fu Sheng’s pocket were because his body was flooded by the river. I never got it back after I washed away.”
“In the past few months, I conducted investigations at home and recovered from my injuries. I personally came over yesterday to discuss with Guimen face to face how to deal with it. In addition, as intermediaries, the matter was in Xuanshu Xianzhou. We had to trade some resources to deal with the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect. Some compensation.”
Mu Yanzheng also said: “It is not possible for ordinary sects to gather so many masters who cannot find their origins in a silent manner.”
Shang Chenxi said bitterly: “Yes, this attack was clearly organized and premeditated. The other party dared to break ground on our business, the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, and the Vientiane Freedom Gate. The planners are big, and sooner or later, they will show their feet. This time the merchant and the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect have suffered a lot. Whether it is for myself or to explain to the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, I can’t let them go.”
Mu Xiu sighed: “Xianzhou seems to be a little uneasy again. Since the other party dared to make a name, he must have something to rely on. So let’s make some more spirit stones, and I will ask someone to build another shadow wall. , Last time, the one that was a beginner can only defend passively. This time I will be an intermediate one that can counterattack. It’s okay for me to be inside the door. You don’t have too many things to save your life when you often go out and walk.”
At this time, Shang Chenxi relaxed his face and smiled: “It’s good to dare to love, but we have been afraid of who will come for so many years, Guimen also attaches great importance to this matter, maybe you and my brothers can join hands to fight the enemy again after a few years. ”
talked for a while, and Shang Chenxi got up and left. Each of the four members of the Construction Office here was thrilling and fascinated, but Mu Weizheng cursed a few words and asked them to go back and practice their exercises, so that they would not be able to fail the heroes and become cannon fodder in the future.
After a few days, it’s the Lunar New Year. There are various celebrations in the gate on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the new year. Afterwards, the sixtieth generation of disciples were all excited by the news. It turned out that all peaks were notified. From the first to the fifteenth period of the new year, the peaks can organize their disciples to go down the mountain to the nearby towns to spend a day on holiday from the first to the fifteenth period.
Shuxuanxianzhou is vast and sparsely populated. The densely populated areas are relatively far apart. However, there are bound to be towns of various sizes around some large schools. These towns are generally guarded by families close to the local schools. A large number of casual repairs and ordinary people gathered.
There are no other schools around Vientiane Gate, but several towns have naturally formed outside the gate. The 60-generation disciples have been cultivating in the mountains for half a year since they got started, all thinking about being able to go out and see the cultural scenery in Xianzhou, and buy some daily necessities by the way.
Mu Weizheng sent people to spread the word and arranged for the four to go down the mountain on the fifth day of the fifth year. The brother said that Mengbisheng’s Huashan has always been peaceful and no one dared to make trouble nearby, so the four of them will go down the mountain by themselves and report to Zhou’s house in Yuehe Ancient Town. Go early and return early, and each handed out a jade medal with a quota of two thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
Yuehe Ancient Town is the nearest town to Mengbishenghua Mountain. It is only tens of miles away. It is located on the only way to the mountain climbing gate. There is a tributary of Wenyu River, Xiaoyue River flowing through the town. Tengjia and Vientiane are in the town. The door has been acquainted from generation to generation, so the town is regarded as one of the outer strongholds of the Vientiane Door of Freedom. Most of the guests who visit the door will stay here for one night, and there are also masters in the door who sit in Zhou’s house all year round.
Zizai Wanxiangmen is a famous school in Xianzhou, so it also attracts many casual practitioners and ordinary people to settle here, and Yuehe Town has become more prosperous and lively.
On the fifth day of the fifth day, the four of them woke up, and it was a night of light snow outside the house, the sun was dazzling, everywhere was covered in silver, bright silver was scattered among the yellow tiles on the vermilion wall, and the pine and white water was covered with white snow, and the four were jumping for joy. Go down the mountain together.
came down to the mountain, and when they were flat, the four of them started to rush towards the ancient town of Yuehe.
At the entrance of ancient town, there is a simple and straight three-door, four-poster, seven-floor wooden archway. There are two large letters “hanxu” on the upper front of the front and “罨秀” on the back, which means that after entering this gate, the mountains are high and the water is wide and beautiful.
The ancient town is not too big, with a population of thousands of people, all of whom live on both sides of the Xiaoyue River that passes through the town. Both sides of the river are the busiest main streets. UU reading www. The streets on both sides of the river channel of uukanshu.com are crowded with houses, row upon row, and shops are lined up with endless screams.
Because it is the Chinese New Year, the roads are crowded and crowded, and there is a bustling scene. From time to time, people wearing Teng-shaped armbands are patrolling the streets. On the street, there are not only restaurants, wine shops, and various grocery shops, the fireworks of the market are blowing up, but there are also facades selling weapons, pill medicine, and martial arts, reminding people that this is a center of cultivation. The four of them seemed to have returned to the world of earth again, and they all felt as if they were separated from each other.
The four of them first found the Teng family mansion to report, and each of them received a jade card recording the quota of two thousand lower-grade spirit stones with the hand of the entry disciple. After that, they wandered all the way along the river bank, focusing on the various cultivation shops. What are you selling? I occasionally buy some personal items. I ordered a sumptuous barbecue meal at a roadside stall at noon. I ate all my stomach and were full of heart and content. In the afternoon, I went to the street across the river to continue walking.
At that time, the sun was slanting west, and the sky began to darken. Due to the cold winter weather, the pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce. The four of them walked to a corner of the street, thinking that it was time to go back, and suddenly heard that there was a side alley. Someone lazily yelled: “One yuan pill, one yuan pill, foundation building, authentic formula, exquisite selection of materials, necessary for breakthrough.”
All four of them had the benefits of the One Yuan Pill, and they were all curious. Today, although many shops sell pills that accelerate the absorption of Reiki, none of them have directly called out the One Yuan Pill.
The four of them looked inside, and saw a sign standing at the entrance of the alley saying “beekeeping lane”. There were several courtyard gates with red lanterns not far from each side of the lane. They could be seen through the dim light. There was a stall at the entrance of one of the courtyards, and a person sat behind him, with his hands in his sleeves, his head bowed and breathlessly shouting.
