Chapter 25: Instead of strengthening yourself, it is better to frame others.
As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. Xu Xingming didn't care about the small profits brought by this orphan and widowed mother, so what prompted him to get involved.
"I.."
When the words came to his lips, Xu Xingming found it difficult to speak for a while. He was completely unfamiliar with this new ghost "brother" who had joined the gang. As an old man who had joined the gang as soon as the Black Tiger Mountain Lord was established.
Don’t have too many brothers and sisters in the past few years. I have known hundreds of people who were simply reincarnated, plus those who died for various reasons.
Naturally, they will not take this nominal brother seriously, and besides, brothers have to settle accounts openly. If the other party knows about the opportunity revealed to him by the boss of Montenegro, he will definitely fight for it.
When the time comes, when they really get into a fight, they are definitely no match for this reckless man. Thinking back to the ax that ripped open his belly, Xu Xingming still feels a dull pain in his chest.
With the thought of being on guard in his mind, Xu Xingming immediately changed his subject, pointed at Qing He who was kneeling on the grave and was unaware of what was going on around him, and said with a smile.
"I'm afraid of being laughed at by my brothers. I had a chance encounter with that girl some time ago. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. How do you say that?"
"Love at first sight?" Lin Tianze interjected appropriately.
After catching the conversation, Xu Xingming became more and more fluent as he spoke, and continued in a matter-of-fact manner: "Yes, it was love at first sight. I fell in love with that girl."
"I have never liked a person so much. I wanted to find a good day to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, but I didn't want his mother to die of illness. She knelt in front of his mother's grave, a living person invading the realm of the dead, and was targeted by that beast.
.”
"Of course I don't want to see that beast hurt her. I also ask my brother to help me. If you have any requests, just ask. If you frown, I promise that this person is not a man."
"That's right! I will definitely help with this." Lin Tianze looked like he was leaving everything to me, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, what on earth is this guy planning on this little girl?
Love at first sight? We are 90% sure that Xu Xingming is not attracted by sex, but the remaining 10% is because this is a fantasy world with too many weird things.
Why doesn't Lin Tianze believe Xu Xingming's so-called love at first sight?
First of all, Xu Xingming is a man with a family and children. When he was alive, he had a family handicraft and he was from a wealthy family. The wife he was marrying would not be ugly.
As for Qing He, a farm girl who works in the fields and is exposed to the sun, her skin is naturally not much better.
One white skin covers all the ugliness. This difference in skin naturally makes her appearance worse. But her Qinghe foundation is not bad. After all, she has some beauty and can be regarded as a village beauty.
Xu Xingming died on the mountain and did not return home for several years. The reason why he went back to look for him was that he met an expert on the mountain and studied under him.
As your reputation spreads, people will naturally come up to make friends. This friend invites you to drink, and that friend invites you to help with boxing. As a famous martial arts master in a place, there are only a few entertainment venues these days.
When people entertain her, they will definitely take Xu Xingming to play in famous romantic places. If they go back and forth, they will broaden their horizons and be able to see Qinghe, a village beauty in the backcountry.
Therefore, Lin Tianze speculated that there must be a hidden secret, but he was unwilling to tell him.
Since he doesn't want to, why should he force himself? The purpose of his coming here is quite simple, just to join in the fun and deal with the old gambler by the way.
Then before leaving, give Montenegro, the mountain god, a hard blow to the mountain.
Lin Tianze's face was filled with a kind smile, "Although I am willing to help you, the rules set by the boss are there, help each other and deal fairly."
"Brother, I don't want anything. I just want you, Fifth Brother, to do me a little favor. Don't worry, this little favor is not difficult at all."
After hearing this, Xu Xingming asked with suspicion: "I wonder what brother wants me to do."
"The favor I asked Fifth Brother to help is actually very simple. Speaking of love at first sight, I also met the person I liked after going down the mountain. It was a vixen in human form."
Xu Xingming suddenly had a rather bad premonition in his heart.
"So I want to invite Fifth Brother to transform you into a little lolita who is 1.5 meters tall, has white hair, ponytail, small breasts, one red eye, one blue eye, and is in her prime."
"Remember to have fox ears and a fox tail. You can choose white or orange. When the time comes, please show off to me like a real vixen."
Xu Xingming suddenly became furious, "Shuzi, how dare you humiliate me like this? How can there be such a vixen in the world!"
Lin Tianze was not angry at all, and the joy in his heart was even greater: "I even believed that Fifth Brother, you fell in love with that little girl at first sight, but Fifth Brother, you don't believe that I fell in love with such a vixen.
I am willing to help you, but you are unwilling to help me. If we agree to help each other, can there still be trust between ghosts and ghosts?"
Xu Xingming pointed at Lin Tianze's sullen purple face. He had heard from Second Sister Mu before that this ghost had sharp words and a lot of fallacies.
Something unexpected happened to the surrounded cat demon in the distance.
"Meow!"
With a cry that echoed through the forest, the hair on the cat demon's body suddenly exploded, and then danced irregularly like burning flames.
The next moment, the cat demon's eyes shone with a strange light, and its body began to grow in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. A soft and cute little one turned into a black ferocious beast filled with arrogance.
The aura of the group of ghosts was shattered like glass. It was an exact portrayal of a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and a ghost turned into pieces with a touch of his claws.
Before the fragments could dissipate, the black cat opened its mouth and sucked it all in, swallowing it all.
"What a bastard!" A smile appeared on Lin Tianze's face, which was perfect for taking the blame. He was so powerful. Isn't it normal that the old gambler Lao Liu didn't run away?
This is a rare opportunity. The plan was already planned, and with the addition of a personal ID, it is still a weighty personal ID.
Seeing the ferocity of the beast, Xu Xingming immediately decided to use his own body to take Qing He from the mass grave and escape from here. When the time came, he would carry it on his shoulders. With his tireless body, how could he catch up with the beast?
Lin Tianze grabbed Lao Wu who wanted to help. This was an important witness. How could he be allowed to run away.
"What are you doing? Let go." Xu Xingming was still angry and wanted to throw Lin Tianze away and grab his hand.
"Lao Wu, you just talked nonsense out of necessity! I was testing whether you were sent by that old monster." Lin Tianze gritted his teeth and looked determined, explaining: "Your ghost skills are so mysterious that I am actually
It’s not much different, it’s even a bit like the mythical beast Bai Ze who knows the meaning of trivial things.”
"I don't know if I can survive today. Among the ghosts and monsters we know, although we have a little conflict, it is not me who sees you falling into death like me without knowing it."
"What did you say."
Lin Tianze looked like he was explaining the funeral affairs, which really shocked Xu Xingming, and his anger was stuck before he could fully explode.
"Don't say anything and listen to me first. If I don't take this opportunity to fake my death and escape today, the boss will definitely arrange a dead end for me just like he did to the other brothers and sisters."
"Brother Xingming, is this ghost crazy? What are you talking nonsense about?"
The kid who was holding the battle at the side came over and listened from beginning to end.
"Shut up!" Lin Tianze cursed, then turned to Xu Xingming and threatened: "Take care of your brother, don't let him speak out, otherwise you and I, including him, will die without a burial place, so
Kid, watch your mouth and don't say anything nonsense."
"We are all the food for that old monster. Don't be exposed. Hide well and find opportunities to escape. If you are exposed, you will die. I dare not say his name. That old monster is as powerful as a god."
"Lao Liu is his subordinate who looks for ingredients for him, so I will kill him before I escape. Then if the old monster asks more questions about Lao Liu's death.
Then you will believe me. You must know that he is indifferent to the deaths of other ghost brothers and ghost sisters.
Just blame this cat for Lao Liu's death and my disappearance. Don't believe the benefits he gave me, they are all bait.
As someone who has hunted for many years, you should know that when you dig a trap, you need to cover it well and put down the bait."
Instead of strengthening yourself, it is better to frame others. After all, it takes time to become stronger, and frame others with just your words.
When the seeds of suspicion are planted, Xu Xingming will naturally ask for confirmation. Can the old Black Mountain demon in question withstand the use of others and be looked at with colored glasses? He is also the best target for framing.
