Chapter 47: Abandoning the Darkness to the Brightness
Gu Cheng was already murderous at the first sight of Wu Zang Taoist.
Although it is said that the culprit is his second mother and Taoist Wu Zang is just a murder knife, he still deserves to be killed.
So just now Gu Cheng has been thinking about where to kill people, whether to wait until the Changle Gang's matter is resolved before killing, or to interrogate before killing, etc.
After thinking so much, Gu Cheng finally suddenly realized that he was no longer the 'Gu Cheng' of the former Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
In terms of status, he is already the acting night patrolman of Jingyesi. He is a soldier, and leftist monks like Wu Zang Taoist are thieves.
In terms of strength, ordinary practitioners at the late eighth level or early seventh level are no match for him.
Especially when dealing with Taoist monks like Wu Zang Taoist who are not good at physical combat, within one foot, Gu Cheng kills him as if he were picking something out of a bag.
So just kill if you want. Why worry so much?
At this time, in the black jade space, five little ghosts formed a circle, and in the middle there was an extremely weak ghost with dull eyes, who turned out to be a Taoist priest from the five internal organs.
Gu Cheng frowned slightly.
The auxiliary abilities of the Heart Ghost are very strong, so Gu Cheng also wanted to see what would happen if he collected all five ghosts.
But I didn’t expect that this Taoist with five internal organs could turn into a ghost after his death. Could it be that because he was half human and half ghost, he was regarded as a ghost by the black jade space and was sucked in?
But judging from his appearance, without the five internal organs temple ghost, the other party is just the weakest ghost, not even conscious. Why do I need such a waste? It is a waste of space.
But now Gu Cheng didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Ji Linfeng.
"Master, you are so brave."
Ji Linfeng was stunned. You openly killed my disciples in front of me in my Changle Gang. Who is the brave one?
Gu Cheng pointed at the body of Taoist Wu Zang and sneered: "This guy is not a Taoist with five blessings, but a Taoist with five internal organs who is wanted by Jingyesi and is notorious for practicing evil in the left way!
Now, the eldest son, you hire Taoist priest Wu Zang as your retainer and help you hide your identity. What do you want to do?
Ji Haiya, the old leader of the Changle Gang, had an early seventh-level cultivation. He was only over 60 years old. How could he die suddenly?
Is it because you, the eldest son, are jealous of your father doting on your second brother, so you have evil intentions and invite evil cultivators to assassinate your father? Then you want to take advantage of your father not leaving any last words, so you take the opportunity to seize the throne as the eldest son.
Get the position of gang leader.
I, Jingyesi, don't care about the nonsense that your Changle gang is fighting for power and profit.
But you hire evil cultivators to kill people, and I, Jingyesi, have to deal with this kind of thing!"
Having said this, Gu Cheng looked upright and selfless.
Ji Linfeng's face was distorted and he defended loudly: "I'm not! I didn't! You're talking nonsense!
Even though my father doted on his second son, he didn't treat me badly. How could I do something worse than a beast like patricide?
My father died suddenly, but there was no abnormality found in the examination. I still suspected that it was my second brother who had done it!
Taoist Black Stone of the Qingshan Sword Sect appears to be a guest of the Qingshan Sword Sect, but in fact he is also sent by the Qingshan Sword Sect to help the second child!"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "First Master, don't be excited. It's useless for you to tell me these things. Go to Jingyesi's black prison to prove your innocence."
Ji Linfeng's complexion suddenly turned pale.
Of course he knows where Jingyesi's black prison is. It should be said that everyone in the world doesn't know it.
That place is easy to get in and difficult to get out of, and as long as he enters it, even if it turns out that he didn't kill his father, his reputation will spread. How can the Changle Gang tolerate someone like him as the leader?
After all, people's words are scary.
Seeing Gu Cheng who was smiling but not smiling, Ji Linfeng finally understood something. He lowered his head and said with a bitter smile on his face:
"Master Gu, as long as you can help me stop this matter, I will listen to you in everything.
Even if I offend Daoxuanzong, I am willing to stand by your side.
I just beg you not to tell anyone about this matter!"
Gu Cheng shook his head gently and said, "If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?
But if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good.
I am very pleased that the eldest son was able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time."
Ji Linfeng had a bitter look on his face. Why did he feel that Gu Cheng looked more like An?
At least when Daoxuanzong came to him, he offered a series of conditions in exchange for his support.
Wherever someone like Gu Cheng directly slaps a big hat and starts threatening, he always feels that the other party has done this kind of thing not just once or twice.
"Okay, eldest son, don't look so sad. I can give you whatever Daoxuanzong can give you.
Now let’s talk about how the old gang leader died.”
Ji Linfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know this.
My father worked as a medicine slave in his early years. Although he had some cultivation skills, his health was getting worse day by day.
Because our Changle Gang grows elixirs, we have specialized doctors. Those doctors said that my father can survive for at least a few more years.
As a result, my father passed away suddenly a few days ago, but no injuries were found. It seemed as if he had passed away.
After that, I contacted the Taoist Wu Zang Taoist through some friends. My original intention was to let him deal with the second child.
But Sir Gu, to be honest, even if I switch sides now, I will only cheat Dao Xuanzong.
The second child now has the last words in his father's hands. He will reveal the last words tomorrow. As long as he becomes the gang leader, he will definitely favor Qingshan Sword Sect."
"Who told you this?"
"It's the five blessings... it's the Taoist priest of the five internal organs."
Gu Cheng suddenly said: "You wait first."
As he said that, Gu Cheng's mental power entered the black jade space, and the five little ghosts jumped around, and some even stepped on the heads of the ghosts of the Five Zang Taoists.
"Can you recreate the scene where Taoist Wu Zang saw the last words a few days ago?"
The Heart Ghost used the blood mist to recreate scenes from the beginning, and the other little ghosts should also have it.
Sure enough, the other four little ghosts shook their huge heads, and layers of blood mist emitted, forming a scene.
It was a study room, and there were disciples from the Changle Gang guarding it outside. It should have been the study room where Ji Haiya handled gang affairs before, but following Ji Haiya's death, it was temporarily banned.
At this time, a black shadow slipped in through the crack in the door, took out something that looked like a letter, climbed up the wall along the beam, put the thing on top, and sneaked out again.
All this was seen by the kid from Wu Zang Taoist, but he did not tell Ji Linfeng.
Gu Cheng could guess what the Five Zang Taoist's plan was, and it was nothing more than taking advantage of both sides.
While holding Ji Linfeng's things but not helping him to do a good job, at the same time holding Ji Lintang's handle, and then waiting for him to gain power before extorting money, this is very consistent with the style of Wu Zang Taoist who wants money at all costs.
Gu Cheng also felt a little emotional. Although the secret technique of the Left Way is not popular, it is undeniable that if used properly, the effect is not ordinary.
Especially for a small gang without experts like the Changle Gang, it is simply ridiculous that two practitioners who are proficient in the secret arts of the Left Way can use very clumsy means to play with it in the midst of applause.
Gu Cheng patted Ji Linfeng's shoulder and said calmly: "Master Wu Zang lied to you. There was no last word at all. That last word was false.
Your father died suddenly, and according to the doctor, he still had a few years to live, so how could he leave any last words?
Don't worry, eldest son, I will leave all matters tomorrow to me. As long as you can promise to stand by my side, this position of gang leader will be yours and no one can take it away."
With that said, Gu Cheng turned around and walked out. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "By the way, eldest son, I leave it to you to wash the floor and dispose of the body. It seems that these evil cultivators are the most abominable, so chop them into pieces."
Feed the dog."
After Gu Cheng left, Ji Linfeng sat slumped on the chair and scratched his head as hard as he could.
The handle is now in Gu Cheng's hands. What will happen in the future? He can only hope that Gu Cheng will live up to his name and not lie to himself.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Haiya's funeral had already been carried out, and Qiu Liandong of Changchun Temple personally presided over the ceremony, which made everyone in the Changle Gang feel grateful.
After all, compared with Jingyesi and several major forces who were eagerly vying for the Changle Gang's share of the elixir, Changchun Guan, who took the initiative to withdraw and helped them to save the gang leader, was simply a kind person.
It was already noon after finishing these rituals. Zhong Lin couldn't wait to say: "Everyone, what you should be busy with has been completed. The fight should be ready to start, right?"
Everyone in the Changle Gang subconsciously showed disgust.
Although they knew that they themselves had no way of making the final decision on the elixir produced by Changle, Zhong Lin's appearance was a bit too ugly.
Zhou Jianxing looked at Gu Cheng: "Master Gu, are you ready?"
"anytime."
Zhong Lin said: "Since this is the case, let's come up with a charter. How much will we win or lose in a battle..."
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said: "How can something with a big fart be so troublesome?
One attack and one defense determine the outcome of the two games.
As long as I lose one round, Yasushi will immediately withdraw from the competition.
On the contrary, if you two lose, then get out of here!"
