Chapter 38 Everyone is equal before life and death

Wu Qianhuan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but admire it.

The method of writing this secret letter is indeed ingenious. The only drawback is that it needs to be accompanied by a book of strange stories, which can easily leave clues.

But this method of dislocation makes up for the shortcomings here...

He nodded immediately:

"Okay, I understand. What next? If I write a secret letter, how can I give it to you?"

"Well... let's just go to the oil and grain store."

Chu Qing said:

"In the back alley of Chen's Oil and Grain Store on Tianwu City's North City Street, after you write the secret letter, find a stone to press on it.

"I will have someone check every night at midnight so I won't miss your letter."

Wu Qianhuan took note of it carefully, and after looking at Chu Qing again, he said:

"Well, I have finished what I needed to do. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute, Miss Wu."

Chu Qing suddenly spoke.

Wu Qianhuan stopped and looked back at him.

Chu Qing smiled:
"Speaking of which, my knowledge of Wan Ye Valley is limited. I have to ask Miss Wu for help and give me some information."

"That's easy."

Wu Qianhuan seemed to be well prepared. She took out an envelope from her bosom and threw it to Chu Qing:
"This is the information of the masters of Wanye Valley. Just memorize it."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely keep it in mind. After marking the price, Miss Wu, don't forget to prepare the money."

"...You are indispensable."

Wu Qianhuan's face darkened and then he jumped away.

It was not until Wu Qianhuan completely disappeared from his sight that Chu Qing looked at the Xuanyou Sword in his hand thoughtfully.

“After the New Year, Wan Ye Valley will be active in Tian Wu City.

"I got this sword years ago...

"However, it is called Xuanyou Sword, not Qingye Sword. Is there something mysterious in the hilt of this sword?"

He looked at it carefully and found that the sword should have been made by a famous craftsman. The hilt was forged as a whole without any traces of splicing.

Chu Qing searched for a while but to no avail, so he smiled silently.

“Yes, I told Wu Qianhuan the news before. There is no reason for her to ignore this sword, and how could she not check it carefully.

"If there really was something, it would have been taken away long ago... But, if there really was something hidden in the hilt, what could it be?"

Somehow, he suddenly remembered Xin Youhen's words before he died:

“The lost secret of Wan Ye Valley?
"But how do you explain 'Tiantiantian'?
"It's probably not true that there were three days. The man was dying and short of breath, so it's more likely that he said the same word three times.

"What is it that begins with '天'?"

After thinking about it carefully, I found that there was no relevant content in my mind, so I shook my head gently.

If you can’t figure something out, just stop thinking about it for now.

He is a killer, why is he wasting his brain here for nothing?

Things that require brainpower should be left to Chu Tian and others.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ergou, who was still sitting in front of the land temple, with a complicated expression.

Ergou, if you leave him alone, he will probably die soon.

Chu Qing exhaled lightly, flicked his hand, and threw the wooden box over.

The sudden noise scared Ergou.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a masked man in black sitting on the roof, looking at him quietly.

"It's you?"

Er Gou looked at the mask and immediately recognized Chu Qing's identity. For a moment, he felt that the blood flowing in his body came to life.

"Inside is Tang Xi's head."

Chu Qing spoke softly.

Ergou trembled when he heard this, then he took a deep breath and reached out to open the box.

A pale head appeared before his eyes. Ergou watched quietly, his eyes full of rage.

But tears couldn't help but flow down.

At first, it was silent crying, but it eventually turned into loud crying.

Only after he finished crying did he kneel down in front of Chu Qing and bow down to the ground:

"Thank you so much, sir... for avenging my wife!!"

"Benefactor?"

Trina's voice seemed particularly inhumane at this moment:
"You call me benefactor? Have you forgotten the agreement I made with you that day?"

Er Gou shook his head repeatedly:

"Ergou will never forget. From today on, this life belongs to the benefactor."

"That being the case, there is no favor between you and me, and you don't owe me anything."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Your life in exchange for Tang Xi's life. It's fair."

Er Gou was stunned:

"How can I be compared with someone like Tang Xi when I am a rotten life?"

"There is no distinction between high and low human lives..."

Chu Qing's voice suddenly reached Ergou's ears. Ergou was startled and found that Chu Qing, who was originally on the roof, had actually come to his side.

He put one hand on his shoulder and spoke in a low voice:
"No matter how great a hero or emperor you are, you will eventually die.

“Before death, everyone is equal.

"Ergou, remember, you have sold your life to me... From now on, if I don't agree, you won't even have the right to die."

Ergou nodded subconsciously, feeling that Chu Qing was right, but also felt that something was wrong.

He lowered his head and pondered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Then he heard Chu Qing ask:

"Are there any relatives at home?"

"……Gone."

Ergou looked depressed:
"I am the only one left."

Chu Qing nodded, and suddenly grabbed Ergou's wrist. A purple light flashed from his fingertips and instantly penetrated into Ergou's body.

Before Ergou knew what was going on, Chu Qing had already shaken off his hand.

His body turned a circle involuntarily, and his fingers fell like raindrops, tapping on the acupuncture points on Ergou's chest and back.

Every time a finger fell, a purple light flashed.

After pressing more than thirty acupoints in total, Chu Qing turned over his palms and pressed them behind Ergou.

Intense pain suddenly attacked every part of his body, making Ergou cry out in pain.

"Hold it, don't shout it out."

Chu Qing's voice suddenly came from my ear.

Although Ergou didn't know why he suddenly tortured himself, when he thought of the previous agreement, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

He is also a very resilient person, and under Tang Xi's constant pressure, he broke through many limits.

Although his body was in excruciating pain as if being stabbed by a knife and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he insisted on not saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense passed, and wisps of white mist appeared above Chu Qing's head.

Suddenly, he exerted a little force with his palms, and Ergou fell forward involuntarily.

After staggering two steps, he finally steadied himself. Looking back, he saw Chu Qing slowly pressing his hands down, and the purple in his eyes was quietly fading away.

My heart suddenly tightened for no reason and I was filled with confusion, but I didn't know how to ask.

Chu Qing seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said calmly:
“Tang Xi planted a demon seed in your body to encourage your hatred, hoping to use your heart to practice martial arts.

“Now he is dead, but this demon seed is still there.

"Since you have entered my sect, your life and death will naturally be at my discretion. How can you die at the hands of others?"
