Chapter 16: The thief has a weak heart

"What did you say?"

In the main hall of the Shimen Sect, Shi Jingzhai's big eyes almost protruded from his sockets, and he stared at Liang Xingbang with a tiger's eye.

"I just got the news that someone is selling crystallized sand silkworms in the town. Liang Xingbang could only repeat the words again.

"How could this happen?" Shi Jingzhai's voice almost broke through the sky.

"I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, I don't know where the kid came from, and suddenly he came out and said that he wanted to sell crystallized sand silkworms. ”

"Can you confirm it?" Yu Wanniang next to her also hurriedly asked, the matter of crystallizing sand silkworms is not trivial, so everyone can't help but be nervous.

Liang Xingbang replied: "Lao Ding has confirmed, it is indeed a crystallized sand silkworm, but it is slightly smaller than the ordinary one, it should have been used." ”

"Can you confirm the origin?" Yu Wanniang then asked.

These two people, you and I are like torture, but fortunately, Liang Xingbang himself was also confused, and he didn't care about this, just shook his head and said:

"No, you can't. The young man departed after the silkworm had been brightened, saying that the man in the shop was too arrogant, and he was angry that he would not sell it to us. ”

"The erector misunderstood me!" Shi Jingzhai's body suddenly erupted with a shocking amount of manpower, if the guy in that shop was here, it is estimated that this momentum alone could shock him to death, scared to death!

Yu Wanniang was even more disgraced: "It's troublesome." How could such a thing happen to a good person? The sand silkworm production area has long been controlled by us, and now that it has been dug up all of it, how can there still be one left outside? Or is it not from the mine at all, it is a pure coincidence?"

Shi Jingzhai glared at Yu Wanniang: "This is not the key at all, the key is that no matter where the sand silkworm comes from, as long as the news of the sand silkworm in Yongsui Mountain spreads, trouble will inevitably follow." Think about the Moon Washing Sect, what would it be like if they were to know about it?"

Thinking of the result of the news from the Moon Washing Sect, the three elders panicked at the same time.

This is the difference in understanding brought about by different angles.

For Tang Zheng, he not only had to have discoveries, but also evidence, and for the three elders, even just the rumors of the sand silkworm would make them feel that they were only one step away from the cliff.

It is precisely this difference that makes the next reaction of the three of them completely affected by Tang Zheng.

Liang Xingbang has said: "The most important problem now is to block the news, so that there can be no more people who know the Tao." ”

"How do you block it?" asked Yu Wanniang.

Liang Xingbang and Shi Jingzhai glanced at each other, and suddenly made a gesture at the same time.

Yu Wanniang's heart was shocked: "Kill them all?"

Liang Xingbang, who was fat and fat, seemed to have always been a peacemaker at home, and replied with a heavy face: "Otherwise, what else can I do? ”

"Slaughtering the townspeople, how are you going to explain to the outside world? There are so many people who know that it's hard to tell, how do you block Youyou's mouth?"

Shi Jingzhai made a cold excuse: "Why do you need to explain? This is the work of the horse thief." As for how to block the law? As soon as the matter of sand silkworms spread during the day, horse thieves entered the town at night and plundered. It can be seen from this that the cause of the disaster, in order to avoid another disaster, even if there are survivors, the matter of the sand silkworm must be kept silent, otherwise it will be irresponsible for the lives of the townspeople, and even my Shimen sect can use this to openly stop the rumors from continuing to plague the town. ”

Yu Wanniang's heart trembled: "Two senior brothers, think twice! This is hundreds of human lives, are you worthy of our identity as an immortal cultivator?"

"Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, that is, before cultivating immortals, we are still human beings first!" Shi Jingzhai replied earnestly.

Human nature is evil!

Liang Xingbang said: "Senior sister doesn't have to feel that she will dirty her hands, you don't need you and me to come forward in this matter, just let the people below do it." ”

Yu Wanniang said coldly: "You didn't kill it yourself, do you feel worthy of your heart?"

Shi Jingzhai snorted: "The benevolence of a woman! The husband should be resolute and resolute when he acts, and what is the value of a mere mortal's life? Yu Wanniang, let me tell you, at the moment of crisis, don't say hundreds of townspeople, that is, tens of thousands, I will also do it, and I will still be worthy of my heart, not against my original intention!"

"You!" Yu Wanniang glared at him fiercely: "You are not human!"

"Then you'd better remember that you and our two guys who are not human are also in the same group!" Shi Jingzhai replied unceremoniously: "Concealing the crystallization of sand silkworms, you have a share, and if there is a leak, you and I need to take responsibility!"

Yuwan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Liang Xingbang persuaded him: "Don't quarrel with your own people, don't forget that in addition to the townspeople, there is another person who is the bane!"

"Yes, the boy. Yu Wanniang's eyes lit up: "This person must be eliminated, otherwise if he is allowed to go to Canglong Mansion, there will be endless troubles, and we can't kill all the people in Canglong Mansion, right?"

This time, Yu Wanniang was the first to propose to kill people.

If there was no accident caused by that young man, there would not be the trouble of the Shimen sect now, but Yu Wanniang hated this person to the core.

"In that case, then there is no objection? Okay, in my opinion, let Lu Dong be responsible. Liang Xingbang said.

"Lu Dong?" Yu Wanniang was stunned.

This Lu Dong is a gang leader in the area of Yongsui Mountain, and he is also an outer disciple of the Shimen faction, and he is responsible for dealing with some shady things of the Shimen faction, so the relationship with the Shimen faction is rarely known. However, this person has been away for many years, and no matter his strength, temperament, or loyalty, he is actually not the best choice. Whether it's pretending to be a horse thief to slaughter the town, or chasing and killing the boy in black, it's not a trivial matter, why should this person be responsible?

After thinking about it again, Yu Wanniang understood what Liang Xingbang meant. Obviously, Liang Xingbang planned to kill Lu Dong as well, so that there was no proof of death.

Shi Jingzhai smiled: "This is very good. ”

Yu Wanniang sighed: "You can decide this matter, I don't care, I'll go find Tang Zheng." ”

As he spoke, he walked out.

"What are you looking for Tang Zheng for?" Liang Xingbang and Shi Jingzhai became nervous at the same time.

Yu Wanniang said angrily: "What's the matter? Suspicious, are you afraid that I won't be able to tell the truth?" I naturally looked for him to drag him on Shimen Peak." Because of the damn Jin family, Tang Zheng can't stay, and he can't be allowed to run to the town at this time. ”

Only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief.

"Besides......" Yu Wanniang hesitated for a moment and said, "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, I want to see if it has anything to do with Tang Zheng, or if he already knows something." ”

Although the wine test that night had confirmed that it was impossible for Tang Zheng to find out, but this moment had such a thing, and it was impossible for Yu Wanniang not to be worried.

The two felt that it made sense, so they simply came to Tang Zai's residence with Yu Wanniang, but were told that Tang Zai went to the Moon Washing Sect Branch Hall to play chess with Zhang Taixu - the days of waiting for the accounts to be collected were very boring, and Tang Zai was leisurely looking for fun everywhere.

The three of them went to the town to find Zhang Taixu, but when they saw Zhang Taixu, they were told that Tang Zheng had lost two handfuls and was in a bad mood, so he went out to relax. Shi Jingzhai asked where he went, Zhang Taixu rolled his eyes and replied How do I know Lu Dao, we cultivators are wandering around, and the cultivation is high for a day, if he is not afraid of tiring himself, he can now go to the country of Li. When he said this, he looked at Shi Jingzhai's eyes like an idiot, and Shi Jingzhai also knew that his IQ had dropped a little in his impatience, so he could only stomp his feet and leave.

At the same time, in a mountain forest leading to Canglong Mansion, Xi Scar carried a package on his back, walking deep and shallow. He was still wearing the black clothes, the hat that covered his face had been removed, and Xiaohu Bao'er was still beside him.

After the crystallized sand silkworms were lit up in Jubao Town, the remnants of the evening went all the way to Canglong Mansion.

From Jubao Town to Canglong Mansion, it is about three days to walk all the way, and Xi Yanyue has arrived at Wei Mansion before, but the road of Xi Scarred is destined to be much more difficult and dangerous than that of his sister.

The Shimen Sect would not let him reach Canglong Mansion easily, and the pursuit was almost a matter of no suspense. The only question is how long will the remnants of the night last under this pursuit, how many days, or will they die on the road before the night has passed?

No one knew the answer, not even Tang Zheng could assert it.

For the same reason, no one knows how long Lu Daoxi Remnant needs to last under this pressure, because it all depends on Tang Tribulation, and the only thing Xi Remnant can do is to survive before Tang Tribulation finishes what he wants to do!

Before the huge pressure of life and death, the young man's expression was still calm.

What is all this to him?

In the mines, I have ventured to extract ore again and again, but which time has I not walked on the edge of the cliff of death? It is a miracle that I have survived until now.

Without Tang Zheng, he would have died under the flying sword of the Shimen disciple in front of the mine gate. Compared with those dark years, Tang Zheng at least gave him life and hope, which was already a kind of happiness for a teenager who had just gotten rid of an extremely difficult situation.

The gloomy dense forest was rugged and difficult to walk, and the remnants of the evening walked without looking back, until it was nearly dusk, and then found a tree vine to sit down, took out the dry food from the package, ate it bite by bite, took out a large piece of fresh meat, and said to Xiaohu: "Bao'er, come here!"

Xiaohu looked at him, sat on the ground, and ignored him.

Xi Remnant shouted again: "Give you something delicious." ”

Xiaohu stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, but he still ignored it, and he didn't look down on that piece of fresh meat at all.

Seeing it like this, Yuki Remnant sighed.

Although Tang Zheng handed over Xiaohu to him and asked Xiaohu to protect Xi's scars, as a demon tiger, Bao'er's shelf was huge. Don't look at it as unenlightened, but you also know that the Tao of Lu sees people cooking, such as Wei Tianchong, and the dream is a cultivator, if you want to say that these people command it, it is more reasonable. The remnant of the night is just a mortal, what qualifications does it have to call around for itself? Even if it listens to Tang Zheng's protection of this kid, it is just a spontaneous act, and it does not mean that it is at its mercy.

If you want to seduce yourself with fresh meat?

In the past few days, Xi Scar has tried her best to please Xiaohu, but Bao'er has ignored it, making Xi Scar extremely helpless.

This moment is just another failure, seeing that Xiaohu ignores it, Xi Remnant can only put down the piece of meat.

At this moment, Bao'er suddenly ran a few steps forward, her wings spread out behind her, and she was already flying up to the ground, flying straight into the depths of the forest.

Xi Remnant was stunned: "Bao'er, don't run! Wait for me!"

Xi was in a hurry, desperately chasing out of the dragon and trying to call Xiaohu back, but how could he compare speed with Xiaohu, but in the blink of an eye, Xiaohu had flown away.

Seeing that Xiaohu ran away like this, the remnants of Xi were also stupid.

He knew that he couldn't control Xiaohu, but he still tried hard to deal with it, and the care of Xiaohu these days can also be described as dedicated, in order to avoid being found Xiaohu, and at the same time not let Xiaohu be locked up in the beast card for a long time, he deliberately chose a rugged and difficult forest path to walk, even if you don't understand it, it doesn't offend you, right?

Unexpectedly, Xiaohu abandoned himself before he hit the road.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuki's heart immediately ached.

Serving as a bait to attract the enemy to chase and kill did not make the boy afraid, but Xiaohu's unappreciative did really make Xi Scar sad. After more than three days of day and night companionship, bathing it, eating, talking to it, and taking it for a walk, it was just a dream of flowing water, and without Xiaohu, how could he take this next road?

He stood in the forest with a lonely expression, and was in despair, when a tiger roar suddenly sounded in the distance.

Xi Remnant's spirit was shocked, and he saw that with the roar, the little tiger that had just run away actually flew back.

It walked freely through the woods, clutching an adult deer under its paws.

"Treasure ...... Bao'er?"

Xi Remnant watched the little tiger fly in a daze, it turned out that it was not abandoning itself, but going to catch its prey.

Then he saw that the flying tiger drew a graceful arc in the sky, and a swoop flew over his head, and with this dive, the deer was landing in front of him.

Xiaohu spun around in the air again, and then stopped not far in front of him, bit on the flower deer, tore off a large piece of bloody tender meat, and then raised his head to look at the remnants of Xi, as if to say, this is called fresh meat!

Is this a response to the fact that he just seduced it with fresh meat?

Seeing this scene, Xi Remnant couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tears gushed out of his eyes, tears of joy that Xiaohu had not abandoned himself.

But these tears confused Xiaohu.

He didn't understand what he was doing, so he caught a deer, and the boy cried.

Could it be that he was bullied by me? It's bad, if this makes "Dad" know the truth, he will definitely scold me.

Xiaohu nervously looked at the remnants of Xi who cried with joy to himself, and began to feel the need to do something to save it all.

So it came to Xi's scar, threw its freshly torn flesh at his feet, and looked at Xi's scar, which meant you eat.

Xi Remnant was completely stupid by Xiaohu's behavior, and looked at Xiaohu in a daze.

So one person and one tiger looked at each other like this.

Xiaohu looked at him stupidly glaring at him, with tears on his face, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, why don't you wipe your tears away?

Then he turned his head and tore off another piece of meat for Xi's scar.

Xi Scar was still sluggish, and Xiaohu was also anxious, so he turned his head and ran over, but he ate the piece of meat that Xi Scar had used to attract it, and then looked back at Xi Scar.

Seeing it like this, Xi Remnant didn't understand what was going on, and shouted excitedly: "Oh, great, Bao'er, you finally accept me!"

flew over, hugged Bao'er and kissed her wildly.

Bao'er was annoyed by his kiss, and for the sake of finally coaxing this kid to a good point, she could only endure it, and let out a helpless low roar in her mouth, thinking that you should get out of the kiss quickly. Seeing it whistling, Xi Remnant only moaned when it liked it, hugged the tiger's head and kissed it a few more times.

It was day and night, and the tired remnants of the night spent the night in the woodland.

He slept soundly, protected Xiaohu in his sleep, took care of Xiaohu, and finally gained his recognition and became very good friends with Xiaohu.

In contrast, Xiaohu was a little sleepless.

The stars at night shine through the shade of the trees.

By the starlight, Bao'er, who was lying on the ground, looked at the sweet remnants of sleeping, and felt like watching a child fall asleep.

is different from Tang Zheng, with Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng takes care of it, but with this young man, Bao'er suddenly has a feeling of taking care of each other. This feeling is strange, like the instinct of a strong life for a weak life.

This instinct can be ignorance, banter, killing, sympathy, care, or even affection.

Because of the Tang Tribulation, Xiaohu obviously couldn't do as mentioned earlier, so he could only develop towards the latter.

A gust of wind blew the blanket off Yu's scar.

Xiaohu thought for a while, took the blanket in his mouth and covered him again, and then lay down quietly, closed his eyes and fell asleep, just like a mother guarding her child's side.

—————————

The night was deep and dark as ink.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, there was silence in Jubao Town.

It was already late at night, and there was hardly half a figure in the town, except for the husband.

At the entrance of the town, a group of more than 50 people in black quietly appeared.

The leader was covered with a black scarf, standing in front of him with a steel knife, pointing a few times at the people behind him, making a few gestures, and then pointing towards the town, waving his right hand hard, making a knife slash, and making a hoarse voice: "Kill them all, no one will be left!"

"Yes!" the men in black snorted and rushed towards the town.

These people are all well-trained, orderly and well-organized, and at this moment they are dispatched at the same time, each of them rushing towards a house, and the long knives in the night reflect the cold and cold light, and a killing is about to begin.

At this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

This sigh came inexplicably, but it shook violently in the hearts of the people in black at the same time, and they stopped and looked around, but there was no one in sight.

The man in black at the head turned around and looked at the alley not far away: "Who is sneaky?"

"It's you guys who are sneaky, aren't you?" a voice replied leisurely.

The next moment, a person walked out of the alley, standing in the shadows, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

The black-clothed man at the head shrank his eyes: "The brothers of the Changshan Society are doing business here, and those who have nothing to do with it should go quickly." ”

The other party came strangely, and the man in black didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so he softened first.

The man in the shadows just sighed leisurely: "The miscellaneous pieces of the Changshan Society are hundreds of miles away from here, where is it not good to rob the house, so you have to run to this poor mountain and remote land? Or does someone have ulterior motives and pretend to be the Changshan Society? Besides, when did the little horse thief of the Changshan Society have a detached spirit master?"

The black-clothed people at the head were shocked, knowing that it was not good, and took a few steps back and said, "Kill him!"

He is also a cautious one, letting his subordinates shoot first.

A group of men in black had gathered around at the same time, slashing at the man in the shadows.

Tang Zheng just sighed lightly.

He drew his sword and swung it sideways.

A line of fire poured out from the blade.

Unlike in the past, the firelight is no longer scattered and violent, like a sea of fire dancing wildly, but more condensed, as if it were substantial.

The line of fire was like a knife qi, sweeping past a group of black-clothed people, and the next moment, I saw that the group of black-clothed people who rushed up first shook their bodies, and then their bodies fell in half at the same time, and when they fell to the ground, they turned into ashes.

Dozens of lives, just one blow!

Only the man in black stood stunned on the spot.

Although his subordinates were all ordinary people, if he had to kill dozens of people with one blow, he would not be able to do it so lightly unless he used that kind of powerful spell.

With this swing of the knife, the gap between them was already revealed, and the man in black immediately knew that something was wrong.

He first stared blankly at the ashes on the ground, stepped back, and said loudly at the same time: "Senior, if you know that you are wrong, you are willing to give everything and retreat immediately, and please raise your noble hand!"

As he spoke, he took out the mustard seed bag beside him.

Tang Zheng sighed and said: "I hold up my noble hand to you, who will raise my noble hand to the innocent townspeople in this treasure town? ”

The man in black groaned in despair: "Everyone is a cultivator of immortals, the immortal road is long, the immortal road is not easy, and each other should be more vigilant and help each other, why should the predecessors force each other so hard for some mortals?"

Tang Zai smiled: "Cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, that is, before cultivating immortals, we are still human beings first!"

Humanity is good!
