Qin Xinru is dead.
The body lay on the horse's back, and the horse knew the way and was sent back to Baiyun City.
The fatal wound was a sword from the back through the heart.
It's clean and neat, and you can tell at a glance that the murderer is a good swordsman.
Su Mou is dead.
The body was washed out of the ravine by the flood after a heavy rain, and was pulled out of the river by a fisherman.
The fatal injury was that his throat was cut with a sword.
The wounds were also clean and neat, and the murderer was probably also a good swordsman.
The assailant seemed to have a grudge against him and even stabbed his eyes with a sharp weapon.
There was a lot of talk in the streets and alleys, and everyone suspected that the Bai family had done it.
Because Bai Qingqing died in the hands of Qin Xinru and Bai Wuwu died in the hands of Su Mou, the possibility of revenge by the Bai family is extremely high.
However, the head of the Bai family swore to God on the honor of his family that the death of Su Mou and Qin Xinru had nothing to do with the Bai family. If he made any false statement, the nine members of the Bai family would be struck by thunder and they would die a happy death.
Some people wanted to find the murderer, but the rain covered all traces, making it impossible to find out.
Shun Bo suspected that it was Zhang Xiaozu and his group who had done it. He knew that Zhou Jianlai, who had lost his arm, was a master of swordsmanship, but Zhang Butcher denied his suspicion after arriving at Zhennan Palace.
He can trust Butcher Zhang's guarantee ten thousand times.
After searching again and again, there was no clue, and in the end it had to be turned into two unsolved cases.
After Su Hanju learned the sad news that both his sons had died, he was heartbroken and fell ill in bed.
Butcher Zhang personally went to Taihu City and slept with Su Hanju. He tried his best to enlighten and comfort him, but to no avail.
Later, Su Hanju sent people to discuss with the Qin family, and invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual ceremony for Su Mou and Qin Xinru, so that the two could have a secret marriage, which could be regarded as a satisfactory explanation of their marriage.
If they knew that Qin Xinru died under Su Mou's sword, I wonder how they would feel?
As for Su Yang's death, the Zhennan Palace has not said anything to the outside world, and the major families in Baiyun City do not dare to mention this topic easily, and it has gradually become a taboo topic by default.
All they knew was that Su Yang had never appeared in Baiyun City since that day, and the red-armored cavalry also disappeared, as if they had disappeared from the world.
It was not until many years later that the Zhennan Prince's Palace announced the news of Su Yang's death, saying that he died suddenly due to his spiritual practice.
These are things for later and will not be mentioned for now.
Let's say that after Zhang Butcher learned about Su Mou's death, he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Xiaopeng and others on the street, and went to Zhennan Prince's Mansion alone.
Zhang Xiaozu was worried about Qi Ronger's safety, so he led everyone to Qi's house.
As he wished, he met Qi Ronger, who was safe and sound, and Monk Su De at Qi's house.
After some conversation, they learned that Qi Ronger wanted to go to the imperial capital with Monk Su De and would set off tomorrow.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa, two sworn brothers, can only give best wishes.
Niu Dawa called Monk Su De to the Qijia martial arts training ground. They said they wanted to compete in martial arts, but in fact, they beat Monk Su De in front of everyone. This was a disguised warning to Monk Su De not to let him down.
Qi Ronger.
Zhang Xiaozu took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Ronger alone. The two opened their hearts and talked about almost everything.
Zhang Xiaozu was worried about Qi Ronger's future.
Nowadays, he is no longer as naive as he was when he first came out of Liujia Village. He has seen the high and low in the outside world, and understands the distinction between direct descendants and concubines in wealthy families.
We also know that marriage requires a good match.
The higher the gate, the more so.
Su Degui is the prince, and Qi Ronger is just a concubine of the Qi family.
According to the rules of a well-matched family, Qi Ronger might not even be qualified to be Su De's concubine.
Zhang Xiaozu expressed his concerns frankly to Qi Ronger, but Qi Ronger didn't hide it. She said frankly that she knew the situation she was about to face better than Zhang Xiaozu, but she just wanted to fight for a future for herself.
Even if he hit his head and was bleeding in the end, he would admit it.
Zhang Xiaozhu knows that Qi Ronger is a woman who is unwilling to be ordinary. She has a thirst for power and status in her bones. This has been created by her living environment since she was a child. It has been deeply ingrained in her soul and is deeply ingrained. She is afraid that she will never be ordinary.
It can't be changed.
"If you are bullied, come to me and Da Wa. No matter if he is a prince, noble or a relative of the emperor, we can put a sack over his head and give him a good beating to vent your anger.
"Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Giggle, I believe this." Qi Ronger covered her mouth and smiled.
"If you are tired, come to us. We will always leave you a safe haven." Zhang Xiaozu said again.
"Yeah" Qi Ronger pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
After giving Qi Ronger a drop of holy blood, an ambergris fruit, and leaving two hundred Yuanshi Golden Pills, Zhang Xiaozu and everyone left the Qi family.
He did not give Qi Ronger a jade item with a higher effect because he did not want a jade item with three times the effect to be exposed for the time being, and Qi Ronger and Su De were too close, and Su De was a prince of the royal family, so he had to be worried.
After leaving Qi's house, they decided to separate temporarily after a brief discussion.
Yuan Taiping followed Zhou Jian back and forth to Zhou's home.
Yuan Taiyuan's original plan was to meet Qin Rulan on the isolated island, but the plan failed, so he had to go to Qin's house again to find a way to meet Qin Rulan.
However, the Qin family should be worried about Qin Xinru's death at the moment, so it was obviously not a good time to see Qin Rulan, so they decided to wait until the Qin family had taken care of Qin Xinru's funeral arrangements before visiting.
Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa are going back to Liujia Village to worship. Taoist Qinglian and Qi Yoyo are traveling with them.
The great revenge was avenged, and Niu Dawa returned home like an arrow. As soon as he and Zhou Jian came, Yuan Taiping said goodbye, he used the domain of wind to pick up Zhang Xiaopeng and the three of them and flew into the air at high speed towards the direction of Liujiacun.
"Xiao Pou, are your eyebrows okay?" Qi Yoyo saw blood oozing out from Zhang Xiaozu's eyebrows again. She couldn't help but worry and asked again with concern.
After escaping from the underground tomb, she discovered that Zhang Xiaozhu's forehead was bleeding, and she hurriedly asked about it. Zhang Xiaozu told her that it was caused by the injury to the ghost pupils between his eyebrows, and that the bleeding stopped after a while.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaozhu's tone and demeanor were very relaxed, she felt relieved.
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't lie to her. It did stop bleeding after a while, but the bleeding turned into oozing. A large drop of blood would ooze out every once in a while, and it didn't seem to stop.
The meaning of coming down makes people feel uneasy.
"It's okay." Zhang Xiaozu raised his hand to wipe away the blood seeping from his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "When I absorb the soul power of Black and White Wuchang and Su Yang, not only can Ghost Tong's injuries be healed, but it is also very likely to awaken Ghost Tong. That's it.
Thank you, senior sister, for giving me this great gift."
If Guitong hadn't come to help in this critical moment today, the consequences would have been disastrous.
After coming out of the tomb, he asked Butcher Zhang what kind of powerful formation was in the tomb, which could actually block a person's power of cultivation and even dissolve it with the power of the stars.
Butcher Zhang looked solemn and said that he had never heard of it before. He guessed that it was some kind of forbidden secret technique or an ancient formation. He might not have a way to deal with it.
In other words, if Guitong hadn't helped him and Butcher Zhang had come from behind, he might have fallen into the tomb.
With mysterious formations, a giant python that deceives the heavens to avoid catastrophe, and a red-clothed ghost with unpredictable cultivation, this underground tomb is full of weirdness.
"Little junior brother and I, there is no need to say thank you." Taoist Qinglian said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and smiled, and then he remembered to ask Taoist Qinglian about the purpose of his visit: "I wonder if Senior Sister happened to be passing by, or did you come here specifically to help Junior Brother?"
"Master is worried about you, so he asked me to take care of you. Something happened on the way here and I was delayed for two days, and I almost missed the important event. However, the old man is secretly protecting you, and even if I don't come, the Ghost Lord won't be able to cause any trouble."
Taoist Qinglian said.
"Dry!"
"I see!"
Niu Dawa suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "I wonder why that kid Su Mou ran so fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The old man must have helped him secretly."
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly nodded and said: "That must be the case. Hey, it's hard for him as an old man. He's caught in the middle. He has to be sneaky to save someone, just like a thief."
"It's understandable that the old man saved Su Mou. After all, he is the son of a brother of life and death. How could he watch him die in front of his eyes. As for Su Yang, it was his own fault. Even if the old man wanted to save him, he might not be able to live with his conscience.
The hurdle." Niu Dawa said.
Qi Yoyo said: "It's not that we didn't save him, it's that you two were too strong and ruined his chance of survival. Think about how different it would be if you two were defeated by his 50,000 elite cavalry.
The ending? The old man may protect you two from death, but Su Yang will definitely not die either."
Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Taoist Qinglian said: "Even if he can't die today, he won't live for long. He is the carrier of calamity for the ghost king in the underworld. From the moment he was born, it has been destined that he will not live long and will definitely die violently. Then he will die suddenly.
Or, his death in your hands may be a certain fate, and it is destined that this Ghost Lord will not be able to achieve perfection in his calamity."
"Senior sister, what is the Ninth Life Yang Tribulation?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
"It is a method used by the underworld to extend life span." Taoist Qinglian explained:
"People in the Yang world have Yang life, and people in the Yin world also have Yin life. When the Yin life is exhausted, they will be reincarnated, or their souls will be scattered. Therefore, when the Yin life is exhausted, some powerful people in the underworld will choose to use nine Yang tribulations to extend themselves.
Yinshou, but the chance of success is extremely low.
Before going through the calamity, they first carved the fate of nine lives in their souls, including the year, month, time and place, the family they were born into, what kind of life they would experience in this life, how they would live, how they would die, etc.
, all must be written clearly.
After writing down the destiny of these nine lives, they sealed their soul cultivation, and then reincarnated. They had to go through nine reincarnations in the underworld according to the destiny they wrote in order to be considered successful.
Only they know the fate of these nine lives, and their souls have been sealed, so no one can help them during the calamity, and no one can help. If they help, the calamity will fail, and if the calamity fails, the Yin Gong will be damaged at least, and at worst, the calamity will be damaged.
His soul was completely destroyed on the spot.
Su Yang is the carrier of this ghost lord's calamity, and it is the last calamity of the nine worlds of Yang calamity. It's a pity that it was accidentally destroyed by you two and failed to complete it.
Fortunately, it was not perfect and his Yin skills were greatly damaged, otherwise I would be far from his opponent.
His cultivation level should be between the Ghost King and the Ghost Emperor, that is, between the stars and the saints among us cultivators."
Zhang Xiaozu and the others were shocked after hearing this.
"It's too difficult to decide the destiny of the ninth life before calamity, and there is no room for error." Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, changing one's fate against the will of heaven has never been discussed simply since ancient times." Taoist Qinglian sneered.
"By the way, who do you think Su Mou was killed by?" After lamenting for a while, Niu Dawa suddenly remembered Su Mou's death and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"On the surface, it looks very much like what the Bai family did. They killed both Qin Xinru and Su Mou. The signs of revenge are obvious, but it cannot be ruled out that someone took the opportunity to frame the Bai family. With the power of Zhennan Palace, they must use
It won't take a few days to find out who the murderer is." Zhang Xiaozhu analyzed deeply.
At the entrance of Liujia Village, the brown dead branches of the old willow tree have sprouted new branches, and now they are green and full of vitality.
Dead trees take on new life in spring, green willows catch the wind, things change and people change.
Today is the Spring Equinox.
With tears in their eyes, Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa knelt down under the old willow tree. They especially remembered the scene last year when the village chief's grandfather gave them an adult ceremony.
The village chief’s grandfather’s admonishments still echo in my ears:
"As you two come of age today, you should remember the kindness of your parents in bringing up children and put filial piety first; you should shoulder responsibilities and have the courage to take on them; you should be fearless of difficulties and have the courage to fight; you should benefit people and the world and make contributions; you should have a clear conscience and live a happy life.
You are not required to do good deeds every day, but as human beings, you must do good deeds.”
The two of them knelt on the ground, recalling the ups and downs of this year, and felt that they had lived up to the earnest teachings of the village chief.
When you are born as a human being, you must do good things.
They tried their best.
But sometimes you have to let yourself be cold-hearted, cruel, and vicious, because if you don't do this, you won't be able to survive in this world. Their evil is forced out of them.
The two wiped away the tears from their eyes and smiled at each other.
He kowtowed, stood up, and walked toward the back of the village.
Time passed by, and the great revenge was avenged. The two of them came back this time with more nostalgia than sadness.
As soon as Zhang Xiaozu turned around, the dense branches of the old willow tree were suddenly separated, and a small black three-foot ape sprang out from it. He threw a branch in his hand towards Zhang Xiaozu, and actually opened his mouth and shouted: "Hey, boy, you're not dead."
ah?"
