Chapter VII: Bloody Cases
The speed of going back was much faster, and Tang Zheng and Yi Yi flew directly back to Daoxiang Village.
Halfway through the journey, Tang Zheng suddenly had a whim and flew towards the place where the sky Gangfeng was.
Flying all the way, when he came to the place where Gangfeng was, he only felt a huge burst of energy surging and raging around him. Tang Zheng, who had felt the power of Gangfeng once, knew the horror of this Gangfeng. Tang Tribulation, who did not have a combined/body, was much lower than before, but at this moment, looking at the large cyan flame in front of him, Tang Tribulation took a breath, and finally rushed into the storm area without hesitation.
As soon as he entered, he saw the wind coming madly from all directions, like countless demons emitting a sharp roar, frantically tearing his body, and Tang was busy deviating.
With the operation of the deviant meridian, Tang Zheng really felt a trace of energy enter his body.
Different from the last time when he was anxious, this time Tang Zheng began to feel the storage of this energy with his heart.
After feeling it carefully, Tang Zheng found that things were really unexpected, these Gangfeng actually did not improve his cultivation strength much, and the reason why he was able to be promoted was mainly because he was only one line away. However, the energy absorbed by the deviant meridian is the essence of the Gangyan, which can be used to improve one's resistance to the Gangfeng.
As long as you bathe in this gang wind for a long time, over time, you don't need to merge / body, and you can freely shuttle through this gang wind with only the amount of Tang Tribulation on the body. If he encounters a similar attack in the future, Tang Zheng will not have to be afraid.
Realizing this, Tang Zheng was no longer polite, so he simply cultivated to his heart's content in this Gangfeng area.
Since it was on the edge of the storm area, Tang Zheng would withdraw from the storm area whenever he couldn't hold it anymore, and then return to the storm area to continue his cultivation after recovering.
This cultivation took more than ten days in the blink of an eye.
In these more than ten days, Tang Zheng was almost sleepless and crazy cultivating, either grinding and polishing himself in the storm area, or recovering himself with all his strength outside the storm area, waiting to enter, just like an infinite reincarnation, never tireless.
When you are thirsty and hungry, you can use those monsters to satisfy your hunger, a large amount of consumption requires a lot of nourishment, and the blood and qi power of the monsters is strong, and it is appropriate to supplement the severe loss brought by the restoration. The thousands of demon corpses obtained earlier made Tang Zheng eat a lot in one go, and the number was so large that even Tang Zheng himself was shocked.
From this point of view, if you want to cultivate in this Gangfeng area for a long time, you still need a lot of demon corpse flesh and blood.
Sure enough, the deviation is still like that bird, and everything depends on resources.
Fortunately, in the battle of destroying the city, Tang Zheng obtained enough monsters, and the monsters were strong, and they would not rot in more than ten days.
More than ten days of penance also allowed Tang Zheng to improve from the initial time when he could only stay in the storm area for two or three minutes to the time when he could last about half a cup of tea, which can be said to be a great benefit.
However, more than ten days of outlaw penance cultivation also brought Tang Zheng's spirit to a limit, the pain caused by the constant torn apart body by the storm was not something ordinary people could bear, a certain Cheng dΓΉ was comparable to Ling Chi's torture, and it was more than ten days, even with Tang Zheng's firm will, the whole person was groggy in the end, as if he was dead.
Therefore, Tang Zheng also had to stop cultivating and rest for a few days, and after recuperating his spirit, he returned to Daoxiang Village with Yiyi.
In the afternoon, Tang Zheng returned to the village, but saw the white flags hanging high in the village, and there was a faint cry, indicating that someone was dead.
Tang Zai hurriedly entered, and saw a group of people gathered in front of the ancestral hall in the village, and there were six tablets on the ancestral hall.
Six people died? Tang Zheng was stunned in his heart, and immediately knew that this was not a natural death.
Under the tablet of the ancestral hall is still sitting the old village chief Cheng Shan, who is shaking his head and crying at this moment, and a group of people are kneeling in front of the tablet and crying, in that tablet is a full six corpses, wrapped in white cloth.
Yi Yi finally couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
When a villager heard the sound and turned around, when he saw Tang Zheng and Yiyi, he took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, and shouted, "They're back!"
He rushed to the ancestral hall.
All the villagers turned around together, and when they saw Tang Zheng, their faces became strange at the same time. There was even the aunt who once sent rice soup to Tang Zai, who pounced directly on Tang Zao, but was stopped by other people, seeing that she couldn't break free, but she sat on the ground and cried.
Tang Zheng asked, "Excuse me, is there something going on here?"
The group of villagers just looked at him and didn't speak, but the old village chief coughed and said, "Don't be like this, don't invite guests in." β
The villagers then got out of the way.
Walking along the path that the villagers had awayed, Tang Zheng came to the old village chief's side, looked at the spiritual position behind him, and said, "It seems that what happened here when I was away?"
The old village chief sighed: "This is all fate, and the two of you are also well-intentioned, but it's no wonder you, it's just that everyone is a little excited, and you also invite Immortal Haihan." β
Tang Zai's brows furrowed when he heard this: "Listening to the meaning of the village chief, it seems that the six villagers who died here have something to do with us." But I haven't been in the village these days, until I don't know how to bring disaster to the village. β
"It's not the butterfly you sent to cause trouble!" The aunt in the back cried: "Poor my son, he was beaten to death by the people of his Bai family like this!"
"Butterfly?" Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, and then he felt Yi Yi grasp his little hand and suddenly tightened, and when he looked back, Yi Yi's little face was already white.
Tang Zheng immediately remembered the red jade butterfly in Yiyi's hand that he saw in front of the house more than ten days ago.
He said in a deep voice, "You gave them the jade butterfly?"
Yi Yi bowed his head and said, "They want ...... I'll give one if I think about it, it's fine...... I told him not to show it to others. β
Tang Zheng was stunned, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Only then did he turn his head to Cheng Shan and said, "Please also ask the old village chief to tell me the ins and outs of the matter." β
Only then did the old man roughly explain what happened.
Actually, it's simple.
Two days ago was Daoxiang Village's Shangcheng Day, on this day, many villagers walked together, went into the city to sell mountain goods, and by the way, also bought some household goods, which is a common thing in the countryside far away from the city. On that day, the parents of the second son also entered the city with them, so they took their son with them.
So the next thing is logical, the villagers are selling goods, and Erhouzi is playing alone in the neighborhood.
Although Yiyi told him not to show off, how could the child's heart endure it. It coincides with the abundance of goods in the city. When he saw that he liked the fun and couldn't afford it, he was troubled by his self-esteem, so he took out the butterfly and offered it to the treasure.
Something happened this time, and a young master surnamed Bai happened to pass by, and when he saw that this thing was extraordinary, he wanted to buy this red jade butterfly. Where is the second houzi willing to sell, the young master of the Bai family is impatient, so he commanded his subordinates to beat the little guy, dropped two taels of silver, snatched the butterfly and left.
If only that were the end of the matter.
After the second son was bullied, he cried and went back to find his father.
The villagers of Daoxiang Village are also violent, as soon as they saw that the child was bullied and robbed, they copied the guys and caught up, and the two sides fought, and this fight was three lives, two in Daoxiang Village and one in Baifu.
Afterwards, the government came forward and judged that the villagers of Daoxiang were greedy for money and robbed, and judged that Daoxiang Village lost the lawsuit, not to mention it, and killed three people on the spot.
After the rest of the villagers came back, it happened that the daughter-in-law of the deceased villager was pregnant with Liujia, and after hearing the news, she was affected by fetal gas, and died of dystocia, and lost two lives.
Six corpses and seven lives, the grief and anger of the whole village can be imagined.
Hearing this series of bad news, Tang Zheng and Yi Yi were also completely stunned.
Yi Yi was dumbfounded: "I didn't expect this...... I really didn't expect that...... Brother!"
She grabbed Tang Zai's hand and looked at Tang Zao with tears in her eyes, how pitiful and pitiful her expression was at that moment.
Seeing Yiyi's sad appearance, Tang Zai's heart was also soft, and he stroked her face and said, "I know...... I know you didn't mean to...... However, you must know that not everything in this matter can be blamed intentionally. To do something wrong is to do something wrong, and you have to be brave enough to bear it, understand?"
"Hmm......" Yi nodded with tears in her eyes.
Tang Zheng then turned to Cheng Shan and said, "Old village chief, I understand what happened. This matter started because of the butterfly given by Yiyi, so Yiyi can't get rid of it, she gave it inappropriately, and she should have half a point of responsibility, but it is only half a point. The villagers of your village are also reckless, and they should also examine themselves. β
The old village chief nodded: "The old man understands that after all, they are too impulsive, otherwise they will never make things so far." The anger of the two is only because of a moment of grief and helplessness, please don't take it to heart. β
"It doesn't matter. Tang Zheng replied: "Anyway, since this matter is Yiyi's responsibility, that is also my responsibility, I will take this matter and give everyone an explanation." β
The old village chief looked at Tang Zheng: "Sir, don't be impulsive, the Bai family is a big family in the city." Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have colluded, if it weren't for this, then the dog official would not have taken the lives of three people in our village in vain. Sir is an extraordinary person, but he should not fight with these local snakes!"
He could feel that Tang Zheng was definitely an extraordinary person, but he didn't know what Tang Zheng was capable of, and he was worried that Tang Zheng would not be able to fight them. The most important thing is that fighting can also cause more trouble for Daoxiang Village.
One impulse of the villagers has already lost six lives, and if Tang Zheng is impulsive again, he is afraid that the entire Daoxiang Village will be destroyed.
Tang Zheng knew the old man's scruples, and said lightly: "Don't worry, the old village chief, no matter what I do, I won't implicate your ......."
He wanted to say that I would not act in the name of Daoxiang Village, but at this moment, suddenly a villager ran over from afar and shouted: "Oh no, no, the second tiger is gone!"
Everyone turned back together, and the old village chief stepped forward tremblingly: "Do you know where he went?"
The villager shook his head: "I don't know, but the hunting knife and bow and arrow he hung on the wall are missing." β
Hearing this, everyone was shocked at the same time, and the old village chief stomped on his crutches: "It's broken, it must be to find trouble with the Bai family, and his uncle is among the people who died! After Erhu's parents died, he was raised by his uncle." β
Tang Zai hurriedly asked, "How long have you been gone?"
The villager shook his head and said he didn't know.
After asking around again, no one paid attention to when Erhu left, only that no one had seen Erhu since last night. It's just that at that time, everyone was busy arranging the mourning hall, and the mood was heavy, and no one paid attention to it.
In other words, he should already be in the Bai family at this time. Tang Zheng said slowly.
