Chapter 176 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
After listening to Li Hu's words, Chen Mengsheng asked Cui Yu in confusion: "Judge Cui, you are well-informed, but do you know about using the blood of children to make gold?"
Cui Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Immortal, don't say that, it's too embarrassing. I have only heard about it. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith of the generation, began to use blood to temper refined copper.
He created world-famous divine swords such as Long Yuantai A Gong Bu Zhan Lu, and his daughter Mo Xie also cast it into the sword of Gan Jiang Mo Xie. However, in the Han Dynasty, some alchemists with bad intentions used it without going through the affairs of men and women.
The boy used blood to refine the stone to extract gold. It was because this method was too poisonous. It drained the blood of people alive without even retaining the soul. Therefore, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once declared that the art of extracting blood for alchemy was prohibited. Unexpectedly, today
There are still evil people who are still following the old ways and causing harm to the world, but fortunately they were discovered by the Immortal."
Li An, who was kneeling in the hall, shouted: "Your Majesty, please have mercy. I just found boys and girls for the Li family. I really don't know that they did evil. The bad things I did were all under the instructions of the Li family brothers."
Ah. Your Majesty, it is clear to you that this villain is willing to change his mind and start a new life. I just ask your Majesty to be lenient." Li An wanted to devote himself to working for the Li family, but in the end, he didn't even get a share of the gold refined by their brothers.
In a moment of resentment, he planned to leave the Li family and live a normal life. Chen Mengsheng took out the birth and death book from his arms and checked that Li An had three years left to live, but in these three years before his death, he did good deeds every day and stopped doing evil.
.
"Judge Cui, since this man has a repentant heart, why not put him back to the earth first?"
Cui Yu said sternly: "I have harmed the lives of four people. How can I put them back so easily? Immortal, human life and death are destined by heaven. After I have punished this evil man and severely punished him, I will send him back to the Yangtze River."
"Come on, take the souls of two evil men, Li Hu and Li An, to the execution platform. They will undergo the seventy-two tortures of the Punishment Division before they are sentenced to death." The ghost soldiers of the Punishment Division screamed as they escorted them.
The two screaming souls were escorted to the execution platform...
Chen Mengsheng stood up and said to Cui Yu and the judge of the Department of Punishment: "I have been harassing the two judges for half a day. Now that we know that the Li brothers are refining gold in the mountains north of Yicheng, they will definitely imprison Yao Rengui and others in the mountains. I will go back to Yicheng now.
Go rescue them, the two judges will meet again later..."
Chen Mengsheng said goodbye to Judge Netherworld and returned to the Xiang family's old house in Yicheng. When he saw the door open, Chen Mengsheng immediately had an ominous premonition. Who would leave the door open in the middle of the night? Chen Mengsheng rushed to the Xiang family's old house. There were everywhere in the Xiang family's old house.
They were all broken tables and chairs. It was obvious that there had been a fight here. Chen Mengsheng shouted the names of Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran, but no one responded. Entering the back hall, there were several people in the room of Shangguan Yanran and the three girls.
There were drops of blood. Chen Mengsheng was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat. In the house where Xiang Xiaotian and himself lived, he saw Xiang Xiaotian's Overlord Bow left in the corner of the house.
Chen Mengsheng ran around the house and saw no one. If Xiang Xiaotian could take the Bawang Gong away from him, something big must have happened. Except for the brothers from the Li family in Yicheng, Chen Mengsheng took up the Bawang Gong.
Flying into the sky, heading straight towards the Li family in the night...
Chen Mengsheng secretly scolded the three brothers of the Li family more than once on the road for not waiting to find trouble with them. On the contrary, they dared to commit murder. It is unforgivable that such evil people should not be punished. But when he looked back, he thought about how the Li brothers were like this.
Taking risks out of desperation shows that they are at the end of their rope and want to get rid of themselves as a thorn in their side. As long as they are not dead, Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran will be safe...
Li Mengsheng smashed open the door of Li's mule and horse shop with a bolt of lightning, and swaggered into the front hall. But there was no one in the front hall, and behind him was the horse gallery. There were only a few old and thin mules in the horse gallery.
The horse was still locked up, and Chen Mengsheng was shocked when he came outside the horse gallery. There were ghosts and ghosts everywhere here, and the cries of ghosts in the dark night made Chen Mengsheng's heart palpitate.
Chen Mengsheng stopped and shouted: "All ghosts, listen, come here quickly, and I will save you from the six realms of reincarnation!"
The ghost in the horse gallery looked at Chen Mengsheng blankly. At this moment, Chen Mengsheng had no time to understand what happened to the ghost during his lifetime. Anyway, it was all caused by the four brothers of the Li family. When he caught the three brothers of the Li family, he would naturally be able to redress their grievances.
He recited the Rebirth Mantra and summoned Hei Wuchang out. Chen Mengsheng smiled bitterly and said: "We are only a few hours apart from our envoy, and we meet again."
Hei Wuchang looked at the dozens of ghosts in the horse gallery and said, "Your Majesty, these ghosts are all full of resentment. I guess they must have been killed by traitors during their lifetime."
"The envoy's words are polite, but I am in a hurry to save people now. I would like the envoy to take them to the underworld and join the Six Paths." Chen Mengsheng said with cupped hands.
Hei Wuchang raised the soul seducing rope and said to Chen Mengsheng: "Judge, please take care of yourself, leave this place to me." Chen Mengsheng stepped on the vertical ladder and searched inside and outside Li's house but could not find any trace.
Clues. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he turned sharply and flew towards the north of Yicheng...
Li An, the general manager of the Li family, was finally woken up by a violent jolt. When he opened his eyes, he saw dazzling sunlight coming from the outside of the carriage. "Eh? It hurts... It's wrong, where am I?"
"Li An said to himself.
"Ah, my chief steward. You're awake. You almost scared me to death last night." Li An turned around and glanced at the few people who were napping behind the carriage. The person who spoke was from the Li family.
The cook has always been an average person. He is a person who does big evil and dare not do small evil. But his mouth is too loose. He can even say a few words to the rich and poor in the East and West. Everyone in the Li family calls him Big.
Mouth.
Li An shook his head and said: "Big mouth, where are we going? What happened to me last night?"
Big Mouth patted the person sleeping next to him, and said vividly: "General Manager, you were amazing last night. You shouted all night long, but we could hear everything clearly. It was as if you were being beaten.
!If you don’t believe me, just ask a few of them. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by thunder!”
Li An didn't want to talk nonsense. He stood up and wanted to go outside the carriage to ask the hot-tempered driver where he was going. But as soon as Li An moved his body, he felt pain all over his body, and all the bones in his body felt like they were being crushed.
I was shocked. I lowered my head and lifted my clothes and was so frightened that I was stunned. There were bruises all over my body with bruises and bruises. I couldn't move while lying in the carriage. It turned out that what happened last night was real...
Chen Mengsheng went crazy and searched for the cave Li Hu mentioned in the mountains and forests north of Yicheng. However, when he found the cave covered by rocks and hung with iron locks, it was already empty of people. Chen Mengsheng vomited thunder in his palms.
The fire torch broke the iron locks, and the Li brothers dug out several water diversion channels in the cave. The people imprisoned here ate, drank, and defecated in two or three cells that were less than ten feet long, and there was a faint smell.
.There is a deep pit in the deepest part of the cave. Other than that, there are no clues in the cave...
Chen Mengsheng yelled in the cave: "Yicheng Mountain God Land, come out and see me, Yicheng Mountain God Land, come out and see me..." After reciting the God-Calling Mantra for a long time, no Mountain God Land came out. Yicheng Mountain God Land came out quickly.
It was so small that there was no land for the mountain gods. Chen Mengsheng left the mountains north of Yicheng helplessly and went to the city to find some clues about the Li family. But who would want to inquire about the reputation of the Li family in Yicheng? Chen Mengsheng
I have been asking since the morning and have found nothing.
In the carriage, Li An heard waves of water coming from outside, and the carriage slowly stopped. Li An called Dazui to help him get out of the car and walk around. Li An got out of the car and was surprised to find that he was already
In a strange place, the third master of the Li family was arranging for the servants to unload and load seven or eight mules and carriages. Li Anqiang resisted the pain and walked over and asked: "Third master, where are we going?"
Li Bao said expressionlessly: "You're awake. I saw you sleeping so hard yesterday that you couldn't wake up, so I didn't have time to tell you that we were moving. There was an evil spirit in Yicheng who was specially designed to deal with us. He went there last night.
The Xiang family made a sneak attack but the boy escaped, so they captured the big man and a few women. He didn't dare to do anything to the Li family in our hands, but he was careful and the Wannian ship was destroyed. So my eldest brother and I
The fourth brother decided to avoid his sharp edge first, and we will go back after that kid is gone."
Li An thought about how powerful Chen Mengsheng was in the netherworld last night. The Li family would definitely be suicidal if they fought with him. He was just an outsider and could not gain any benefit from the Li family. After thinking for a while, he said: "Third Master, I'm old and let's go."
You can't move anymore. You see, you are injured again. If you follow me, you will only drag everyone down."
Li Bao said coldly: "Useless thing, I asked you to kill that trash last night, but you made yourself so embarrassed. Since you don't want to go, let me leave a horse for you. You can do it for yourself, if you dare to
Those of you who talk too much in Yicheng, watch out for your life!"
Li An was heartbroken when he heard Li Bao's words. Among the four brothers in the Li family, he had the best relationship with Li Bao, the third. Unexpectedly, he was injured because he thought he was a slave-killer, and he was unable to do things well.
He immediately sneered at himself. Li An laughed at himself and said: "Haha, thank you Third Master for giving up your horse to travel for me. I don't know where you are going, Third Master?"
Li Bao rolled his eyes at him and said: "What's wrong with going to Tongling? Does the chief manager want to go with us again?" Li An smiled and waved his hands, picked a horse and left...
After the Li family's slaves had caught all the goods, mules and carriages on the ship, Li Long came over cursingly and said: "Third brother, the things and the man are all ready. Fourth boy is taking inventory. Damn it, I was all under the spell yesterday."
Even after taking the medicine, a dozen brothers were still injured by that big man."
Li Bao looked at the slowly rising sail and said, "Is that girl okay? If she dies, she is one of the evil spirits. You must not let her die."
"Don't worry, I just received a few punches on the back, and the skin will be scratched but it won't die." Li Long said with an indifferent look.
Li Biao ran over and said: "Brother, the third brother has been settled. Let the guys get on the boat. That black guy won't be able to find us when we get to Tongling."
Li Bao shook his head and said: "Who said we were going to Tongling? That was yesterday. Li An left just now. He already knows where we are going, so we can't go to Tongling..."
