Chapter 52 The heavy rain comes, Qi Zhou is arrested and put on public display
Immediately, amidst the sound of astonishment, Xu Taiping walked straight towards the street intersection again without even looking at the girl.
The slap just now was the scene deduced by Lian Tong.
Although Xu Taiping didn't quite understand Qi Zhou's motive for slapping the girl, judging from the surrounding situation at this moment, Liantong's deduction was undoubtedly correct.
So Xu Taiping continued to walk forward while murmuring with great difficulty:
"If it weren't for this girl, what would be Qi Zhou's motive for killing that young master?"
And when Xu Taiping was thinking like this, Xu Taiping felt that his body seemed to be frozen by something, unable to move.
When he came back to his senses, he found that not only had the rain stopped, but the world in his eyes had also turned upside down.
Xu Taiping tried his best to lift the knife, and then he realized that he was being dumped on a long pole.
The position of this long pole was exactly where Qi Zhou killed the young master that day.
The reason why Xu Taiping recognized him at a glance was because in the gaps between the floor tiles under him, he could still see blood stains that had not been washed away, as well as the smell of blood that emitted from time to time.
Looking at the mocking looks from the people in the surrounding shops and restaurants, Xu Taiping sighed helplessly and said:
"It seems that Qi Zhou has been arrested."
At this moment, an old man who looked like a housekeeper came to Xu Taiping's side.
Without saying a word, the old man kicked Xu Taiping with a "bang" sound.
Immediately, Xu Taiping felt a suffocating pain.
With Qi Zhou's original physique, it was impossible for the reckless man to suffer such pain. It was obvious that the person who caught him had tampered with him.
Immediately, before the pain in Xu Taiping's body completely dissipated, the old man suddenly raised his hands in all directions and said:
"Everyone, from now on, our Hong family will expose this villain here for ten days."
"I want to see if those rats hiding in the gutter behind him dare to show up!"
"In addition, from now on, anyone who comes forward and spits on this villain will be punished.
My Hong family has a bounty of ten taels!"
As soon as they heard that a mouthful of saliva was worth ten taels of gold, the onlookers in the restaurants and tea shops on the street suddenly became excited.
After hearing the news, Xu Taiping thought to himself:
"If the Hong family really wanted to kill Qi Zhou, I'm afraid they would have done it when they caught him. They haven't killed him yet. It's not just to humiliate him."
Xu Taiping inadvertently turned his head, glanced at the Hong family housekeeper, and secretly deduced in his heart:
"Either it's because I can't kill him and I'm waiting for someone."
"Either it is just as the steward said, he wants to lure out the other villains behind Qi Zhou."
And just when Xu Taiping was thinking like this, he heard a "spit" sound, and the Hong family housekeeper suddenly spat a mouthful of fishy phlegm on Xu Taiping's face.
Xu Taiping and the housekeeper looked at each other, and then imitated Qi Zhou's tone and said coldly:
"Old guy, I remember your face."
Xu Taiping had no good intentions towards this kind of family that allowed the young master to humiliate the young girl.
He was even a little regretful that the Thirteenth Seat did not consider killing the young master as his training mission this time.
"boom!"
After seeing the look Xu Taiping cast, the housekeeper kicked Xu Taiping hard in the chest.
In an instant, the unbearable pain began to impact Xu Taiping's soul.
At the same time, the housekeeper came close to Xu Taiping's ear and whispered in a cold voice:
"Ten days later, the immortals from the Wuling Sect will come here. If you still refuse to hand over the map of the Huangliang Immortal Mansion's treasures at that time, you will be greeted by the soul-searching and bone-eating souls of the Wuling Sect.
The art of."
"With these immortal methods, what if you have this black iron bone?"
These words from the housekeeper of the Hong family undoubtedly confirmed Xu Taiping's previous suspicion.
No
What he didn't expect was that the reason why the Hong family hung him here in public was not only waiting for people from the Wuling Sect to come for support, but also wanted to force Qi Zhou to hand over the treasure map of Huangliang Immortal Mansion.
Even as Xu Taiping was thinking secretly, the housekeeper had already stood up.
"I'll go first!"
At the same time, a tall man jumped down from a nearby restaurant and ran straight to Xu Taiping.
"Ah...poof!"
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat directly onto Xu Taiping's face.
It has to be said that if a germophobe was hung here, the mouthfuls of thick phlegm would be no less powerful than powerful spiritual attacks for him.
"The Hong family did not hesitate to pay ten taels of gold to lure these people in the town to humiliate Qi Zhou. It is obvious that they want to pull the entire Buddha Killing Town behind them to prevent the revenge of those behind Qi Zhou."
Xu Taiping tried very hard to divert his attention.
But even he still felt very uncomfortable after his face was covered with sticky phlegm.
In the end, he worked hard to extract a bit of soul power and injected it into the bronze ring in his hand.
This bronze ring was a gift from the Thirteenth Seat of Linyuan. It is a treasure that can slow down, speed up or stop time in this world.
Because this thing does not exist in this time, so no one can see or take it away.
"Crack!"
At this time, along with a crisp sound of snapping fingers, the time around Xu Taiping began to speed up.
In just a blink of an eye, it's already night.
At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and judging from the wet streets, it should have rained heavily again at noon today.
After discovering that the thick phlegm on her face had been washed away by the rain, Mrs. Xu felt relieved.
But what made him a little regretful was that even if he used that treasure, it would only change the time from early morning to late at night, and he could not directly skip the ten days of hanging upside down here.
"It stands to reason that it should be possible to jump over. Could it be because
Is it time to make a choice among the Thirteen Seats?"
And almost when Xu Taiping was thinking this, a thin figure in ragged clothes was limping towards him, carrying a broken bowl.
After staring at that figure for a long time, Xu Taiping felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart.
That's right, it's still that girl.
The girl limped along a short journey of less than a hundred feet, taking at least half a stick of incense to reach Xu Taiping.
Immediately, the girl, who was sweating profusely, picked up the broken bowl in her hands and handed the half bowl of food that looked like sour water to Xu Taiping.
Under the moonlight, Xu Taiping could clearly see the crystal beads of sweat streaking across the girl's cheeks.
At the same time, under the moonlight, the smile on the girl's face became cleaner.
As clean as the first snow after winter.
This smile as clean as fresh snow formed a sharp contrast with the traces of suffering she had suffered.
The girl with a smile on her face held up the broken bowl in her hand and said in a clear voice:
"Dad, look, I found food again, eat it!"
For a moment, Xu Taiping suddenly didn't want to wonder what Lu Zhou would choose. He directly bit the broken bowl handed over by the girl with his mouth and drank half of the bowl of sour water in one gulp.
If you choose the wrong one, then you choose the wrong one.
The worst he can do is endure the pain of the backlash of time again.
While Xu Taiping was thinking this in his mind, he bit the broken bowl and handed it back to the girl.
"Thanks."
After saying this, Xu Taiping began to wait quietly for the backlash of the power of time.
But what surprised him was that instead of being backlashed by the power of time, he was enveloped in a burst of golden light transformed by the power of Qi, Blood and True Yuan.
"This...is actually the right choice?"
Xu Taiping looked stunned at first, then his heart felt warm for no reason, and he secretly said:
