Chapter 214: Pay murder to kill!
Chapter 214: Pay murder to kill!
The sun was at its highest point, yet there was no warmth at all.
After the crackling sound of firecrackers, a patch of red was left on the ground.
The gate of Xu's house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very lively. The house was filled with distinguished guests.
At the entrance of the alley, a young girl in red clothes, a bamboo hat, and leading a white horse was attracted by the noise and couldn't help but feel curious.
He stopped a middle-aged man who was about to go over there and asked:
"Excuse me, whose wedding is this?"
"The girl is a visitor from outside? No wonder you didn't know... The youngest daughter of the Xu family in Beihu Town is getting married today."
"Oh, is this a wedding reception?"
"This is not... the man is marrying into the family."
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"The master of the Xu family is extremely wealthy, and his little daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She heard that the man was a chivalrous knight with no relatives, so she decided to marry him into the family."
"I see."
The young girl nodded slightly, a smile on her face.
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"Miss, if you are passing by and have nothing to do, you can go over and ask for a glass of wine."
"This... is it inappropriate for us to be non-relatives?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Mr. Xu said that everyone who comes is a guest. Just say congratulations, have a banquet, and make a good relationship."
"Mr. Xu is a very open-minded person."
The young girl smiled and said:
"If that's the case, then I'd like to join in the fun."
She led the horse and followed the middle-aged man up to him. After settling the horse, she followed the crowd into the yard.
Just as the middle-aged man said, she just said congratulations and the other party, regardless of who she was, welcomed her into the courtyard with a smile on their face and allowed her to sit down if she saw an empty seat.
She picked up the chopsticks and ate and drank, but no one paid any attention to her.
After eating and drinking, when it was almost time, someone shouted:
"The auspicious time has arrived, please welcome the newlyweds!!"
Although it is a marriage between the wives and the bride is in the backyard, the general procedures still have to be followed.
Then I saw the bride and groom walking in from the main door, each in wedding clothes. The man had a big red flower on his chest, the woman had a red veil on her head, and she and the groom both wore a red silk ribbon.
The girl in red, who was eating and drinking, occasionally looked up and glanced.
I had never taken this matter to heart, but after taking a look at it, I almost spit out the wine in my mouth:
“Senior Brother Zuo!?”
This girl was naturally Wu Qianhuan who had come all the way from Tianwu City.
She investigated Chu Tian's affairs along the way, and finally started looking for him from the place where Chu Tian last disappeared, and finally came to Beihu Town.
At this point, almost all the clues were lost, and Chu Tian was nowhere to be found.
But when it came to the fact that he was dead, Wu Qianhuan didn't quite believe it.
We can see the person when he is alive and the body when he is dead. How can a person just disappear inexplicably?
However, along the way, I heard a lot of news about Gui Deng Wu Chan killing people.
It seemed that the incident involving Chu Tian and the others had caused a lot of sensation. Many people described it vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, but when they were really asked, they couldn't explain it.
Everyone believed that Chu Tian had died at the hands of Gui Deng Wu Chan.
If we want to get a result of investigating this matter, we probably can only find this Gui Deng Wu Chan.
Unfortunately, after this person did this thing, he seemed to have disappeared.
There are few traces along the way, which makes people confused.
Wu Qianhuan was originally in distress, but by chance she saw someone getting married, so she came over to join in the fun and have a free meal.
He never expected that before he finished his meal, he would see his senior brother Zuo, who claimed that he wanted to live a life of meditation and worship Buddha all his life, and who was like a modern-day Buddhist, walk in with the bride.
After all this time, he doesn't eat vegetarian food or chant Buddhist scriptures, but runs to Beihu Town to marry into a family?
I wonder if if Master Tianyou knew about this, he would be so angry that he would return to secular life on the spot?
No wonder there has been no news sent back for such a long time... Is he tempted by worldly desires?
Wu Qianhuan muttered to himself for a long time. He didn't have any other thoughts except that it was funny.
She lowered her head slightly to avoid being discovered by Zuo Wenchuan.
He hid secretly among the guests and watched Zuo Wenchuan and his bride get married and enter the bridal chamber.
Finally, he changed his clothes and came out to meet the guests and toast.
By this time the dust had settled, Wu Qianhuan no longer hid, but stood up straight and openly.
Zuo Wenchuan glanced at him and didn't take it seriously at first, but then he realized that the other person's eyes were burning, so he looked back and his eyes widened immediately:
"Sister Wu!?"
Mr. Xu, who was toasting with him, and his brother-in-law Xu Mao were both stunned.
Is this the groom's 'family'?
Zuo Wenchuan quickly came to Wu Qianhuan:
"Junior sister, why are you here?"
"It's a long story."
Wu Qianhuan sighed, then smiled and said:
"Today is Brother's big day, we can talk about my affairs later.
"Wait until Senior Brother is done with his work, then we can have a small chat."
Zuo Wenchuan wanted to say something after hearing this, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded:
"it is good."
However, the Xu family father and son looked at each other and quickly changed Wu Qianhuan's seat.
The banquet lasted until midnight.
The groom, who was supposed to rush into the bridal chamber, was sitting opposite Wu Qianhuan in the pavilion in the backyard.
Wu Qianhuan couldn't contain her smile for a moment, Zuo Wenchuan looked helpless:
"Junior sister, please stop laughing. You've been laughing all day... doesn't your face feel sore?"
"No, no, my brother has found a good match and married into a good family... I am so happy, how can I feel sour when I smile?"
Wu Qianhuan picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine:
"I have mastered the Mysterious Fingering Moon Art. Before I left the mountain, Master Tianyou asked me to look for you and ask you when you would return.
"I thought that this world is so vast that it would be difficult to find you.
"I didn't expect that I would meet you before I could find any results on the matter I was investigating."
"Ah... this is a long story."
Zuo Wenchuan pondered and said:
"Your sister-in-law is named Xu Qiaohui, she is beautiful, smart and smart.
"It was a coincidence that I met him. At that time, I was ordered by my master to rush to Luochen Villa..."
He narrated how he and Xu Qiaohui met, how he was hunted down by the mad beggar Ling Beichen, and how he was finally rescued by the Third Young Master in front of Luochen Villa.
After that, he went through the battle of Tianji Valley with everyone else, and he originally wanted to just pass over this part.
Unexpectedly, Wu Qianhuan asked in detail, especially about the Third Young Master, which was extremely detailed.
Upon hearing that the Tomb Prince could not be killed and reappeared after death, Wu Qianhuan frowned.
It was not until the Third Young Master had a fierce battle with the Tomb Prince and killed him alive at his hands that she relaxed her brows.
This made Zuo Wenchuan a little puzzled. He wondered why Wu Qianhuan was so interested in the Third Young Master, a stranger she had never met before?
Later it was attributed to the fact that the little girl naturally envied and admired the heroes in the martial arts world.
He kept talking about how he volunteered to escort Xu Qiaohui and Xu Mao home, then he sighed:
“At first I always felt that this girl was pitiful and irritating.
"I didn't think much about it at first, but I didn't expect that the more I interacted with her, the more I was attracted to her.
“Once I get back to Beihu Town, I want to leave immediately and go back to the mountain to report.
"But I didn't expect that Qiaohui couldn't bear to leave me and followed me secretly.
“Of course, I could not hide this from my eyes and ears, but I could not see her and give her hope, so I hid in the dark and followed her secretly.
“I thought she would follow for a while, and then give up if she couldn’t catch up.
"But I didn't expect that she would grit her teeth and persevere. Even though the road was hard and difficult, she never retreated. But her face was full of sorrow, which made people feel sorry for her.
"At the end, she squatted on the ground, crying, which made me feel even more pitiful..." "So, you showed up?"
Wu Qianhuan listened with considerable interest.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Wenchuan shook his head:
"No... My heart is as hard as iron and I am unmoved."
"So what's going on now?"
"I didn't go out... Another person went out. That person was a gangster, a low-class pervert.
"I was just passing by there and heard a girl crying. She was pretty, so I took action against her... I didn't check at first and thought it was a knight passing by who felt sorry for her and wanted to send her home.
"It wasn't until that man used aphrodisiac on her that I realized it.
"Hurry up and stop him... I did kill that rapist, but the drug he used was too potent. I... had no other choice but to... sigh..."
Having said this, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
After putting down the wine glass, he sighed:
"Things have come to this, I can't destroy the girl's innocence in vain.
“Of course I have to take responsibility… And, to be honest, if it weren’t for my strong desire to worship Buddha, I would have returned to Qianyang Mountain.
“Just based on my heart, I don’t want to leave.
"This incident forced me to make a choice, but now I feel relieved."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Wu Qianhuan exclaimed in admiration:
"This is a destiny destined by heaven, which is good. How are you going to deal with Master Tianyou?"
"Tell the truth and let your teacher punish you."
Zuo Wenchuan said:
"I have already sent a letter to Qianyang Mountain. It should be the right time now."
"You will be severely beaten if you kill first and ask for permission later."
Wu Qianhuan felt a little gloating again.
Zuo Wenchuan waved his hand:
"That's all for later, but what's wrong with you? What are you investigating?"
Wu Qianhuan then told the story of Chu Tian in this way.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Wenchuan suddenly said:
"I've seen Gui Deng Wu Chan."
"Ok?"
Wu Qianhuan was stunned:
"Where have you seen me before?"
"We were preparing for our wedding, and Xu Mao and I went to a nearby town to look for something. We bumped into this man by chance on the way.
“But judging from his appearance, he must be injured… and is heading north.
"I don't know where he went exactly, but if even Gui Deng Wu Chan couldn't treat his injuries, then an ordinary doctor probably wouldn't be able to save him. He must have gone to find someone to save his life."
At that time, Zuo Wenchuan was accompanied by Xu Mao. Facing such a demon in the world, he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Wu Qianhuan stood up immediately:
"If that's the case, Senior Brother Zuo, please say goodbye. Tonight is your wedding night, go find your bride early and don't leave her alone in an empty room.
"I will go ahead...I will come back next year to hold my nephew."
"what?"
Zuo Wenchuan was stunned:
"Are you in such a hurry? I have already arranged a guest room for you to stay for one night..."
"Urgent!"
Wu Qianhuan said bluntly:
“This matter concerns Chu Qing’s eldest brother, so I’m naturally anxious.
"Besides, I'm more anxious to see him..."
"That's all."
Zuo Wenchuan couldn't understand it in the past, but now he suddenly understood:
"Go ahead, I hope you can be reunited soon."
"Ah."
Wu Qianhuan nodded, said goodbye and left the Xu family, riding her Xue Zhongqing and heading north again.
……
……
The fire was blazing and the burning wood was crackling.
The raging flames rose into the sky, engulfing everything in its surroundings.
Chu Qing dragged a corpse and threw it into the burning house, then clapped his hands gently:
“This should be the last one.”
Nodded gently:
“It is indeed the last one. There are not as many people in this branch as in the previous one.
“There were only a few dozen people in total.
"There aren't many useful clues in general buildings..."
Chu Qing curled his lips:
“Well, there are no less than a hundred Niejingtai and its branches in Nanling, so it is impossible for all of them to be huge.
"Many of them probably just serve as a contact point."
When he said this, he picked his ears and glanced at Wuchan, who was sitting in front of the fire, chanting the Amitabha Sutra with a compassionate face.
"That's enough. They are a bunch of killers who kill without blinking an eye. Why are you trying to save their souls?"
Since that day, Chu Qing continued to head north with Wu Chan and Wen Rou, and checked along the way to see if there were any branches of Nie Jing Tai. If there were any, he would pick one.
This is now the second branch that Chu Qing has chosen.
The dignified Gui Deng Wu Chan, one of the Nanling demons, would chant sutras for the killers every time after Chu Qing killed someone.
"Amitabha!"
Wu Chan stood up and wanted to argue with Chu Qing.
But he was tongue-tied and was at a loss for words. Finally he said:
"I am happy to do so."
"..."
Chu Qing was too lazy to argue with him. If Chu Tian didn't want him to speak, if the monk was a good man, and if he might have a bill, Chu Qing would have beaten the monk to death long ago.
Seeing that the surroundings had been cleaned up, Chu Qing waved his hand:
"gone."
Wenrou and Wuchan followed behind Chu Qing.
Chu Qing was somewhat curious about Wu Chan:
“I heard that the [Burning Lamp Magic Skill] can illuminate both gods and ghosts. They all say that what you illuminated is a ghost, so they call it the Ghost Lamp?
"But I haven't seen you have any evil thoughts, have you?"
Wu Chan was about to speak when Chu Qing suddenly turned around and waved his hand gently.
"Someone?"
Gentle asked.
Chu Qing nodded.
But he had no intention of hiding. The person who came was skilled in martial arts. If he was someone from the Nie Jingtai, he would just kill him.
If it weren't for... Chu Qing's martial arts, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone now.
The three of them immediately kept pace and continued forward.
A moment later, a somewhat disheveled woman in black appeared in front of the three people.
She glanced at the three people one by one, and finally frowned slightly:
"Isn't this the branch of the Niejingtai? Why are there other people running around here?"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when he heard the woman clapping her hands again as if she suddenly realized something:
"Oh! That's right!
"You must be the killers from the Mirror of Evil, right?
"I want to hire someone to kill someone!!"
