Chapter 24 He Qingyu goes down the mountain to earn merits! Li Zhengjing fights evil repairs alone!
The clerk named Shen Shan was the last survivor of the "thief" case half a month ago!
This person went to a neighboring county to invite the Zhou commander, but he has not returned yet, but the evil cultivators may not know the inside story, and they may keep an eye on his residence!
"The evil cultivators have been here for many days. I'm afraid he will recognize the people in the government."
"And the other party's cultivation level is not weak, so it is easy to detect an ambush."
"Therefore, there is no need for the government to send anyone to ambush this time. We and other inner disciples of the Immortal Sect can just hide in secret."
Chen Bing put his hands behind his back, looked arrogant, and was giving orders.
The local county magistrate had no choice but to listen to the order and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, He Qingyu spoke up and said: "Senior Brother Chen Bing, we are not familiar with this place. We need help from someone to ambush the surrounding neighbors in advance."
Lu Xiaoxuan took half a step forward, bowed and saluted: "The villain has grown up here since he was a child, and is familiar with various uncles and aunts. You can go and do some research! In addition, although the villain is a minor official in the government office,
But we haven’t gone to the streets to search for them, so the evil cultivator should not know the villain!”
There was no fear on his face, he fell down and said in a deep voice: "The villain's adoptive father was also killed by the evil cultivator. I am willing to follow all the immortals tonight!"
——
It was night, and the moon was in the sky.
After a day of deployment, the disguised Shen Shan returned home.
Outside Shen Shan's residence, four inner disciples of the Immortal Sect each occupied a direction and ambush in the neighboring houses.
Shenshan's family has a wife and children, but the evil cultivators did not detect the clues and did not move away. They were still at home.
"Chief Immortal, do you think the evil cult will come?" Lu Xiaoxuan said in a low voice.
"It may not come."
When Li Zhengjing said this, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Lu Xiaoxuan looked depressed and stopped talking.
After less than half an hour, he left the place according to his prior instructions to avoid being affected.
But at this moment, there was another movement. Li Zhengjing held the long and narrow black knife and looked over there.
The visitor was dressed in white clothes, which looked bright and clean under the moonlight.
"What is Senior Sister He doing here?" Li Zhengjing asked.
"The White Wolf and the Black Eagle have already secretly ambushed me in the direction over there."
He Qingyu came closer and said softly: "The evil cultivator is too strong. Only senior brother Chen Bing can match it. But if the three of us fight alone, I am afraid that none of them will be a match for the evil cultivator!"
"Senior Brother Zhou Mo has a slightly higher cultivation level, and he and Senior Brother Chen Bing are close friends. As long as there is any movement, Senior Brother Chen Bing will help immediately, so there is no need to worry."
Having said this, He Qingyu said seriously: "I came here to join forces with you."
Li Zhengjing heard this and said with a smile: "Afraid that my cultivation is too weak to be able to stand alone and I will be killed by evil cultivators?"
He Qingyu paused for a moment, fearing that he would hurt the dignity of the other party, so he whispered: "Because of your help, I am not afraid of evil cultivators."
"You can't tell, but senior sister is very good at talking."
Li Zhengjing smiled and said: "You walked with the two of them and set out from the mountain gate to get here. Logically speaking, you should join forces with them to slay the demons together."
He Qingyu shook his head and said: "I'm not the same person as them, we're just walking together. Besides, it's dangerous tonight. I'm afraid that apart from Senior Brother Zhou Mo, Senior Brother Chen Bing won't help you and me in time, so I'm here to help you and me."
You join forces to protect yourself..."
Li Zhengjing was silent for a moment and said: "With those two spiritual beasts, you can protect yourself! But senior sister still comes here to join forces with me...why?"
He Qingyu hummed slightly, then looked apologetic and whispered: "I'm sorry."
"What?"
Li Zhengjing couldn't help but be surprised.
"More than half a month ago, the leopard at the outer gate lost control and went crazy. I personally tamed it."
He Qingyu said in a complicated tone: "The spirit leopard lost control and almost hurt your life."
Li Zhengjing suddenly realized it, and immediately waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
This matter was jointly planned by Chen Youyu and five other deacons. No matter who tamed the spiritual beast, it would eventually lose control and go crazy.
On the contrary, this inner disciple of the Beast Control Hall suffered an unreasonable disaster and was held accountable by the Law Enforcement Hall!
Thinking of this, he also asked about punishment.
He Qingyu sighed softly and said: "The Royal Beast Hall thinks that I have failed to tame the spiritual beast, so I will be punished by facing the wall for ten days!"
"And the Law Enforcement Hall fined me a hundred meritorious deeds."
"It has been more than three years since I entered the inner sect, and I have only accumulated seventy-six meritorious deeds. I still owe twenty-four meritorious deeds."
"Before you pay off your merits, you are not allowed to exchange for any treasures in the official hall. However, this beast control requires the help of various utensils, medicines, and different types of domestication methods!"
With a sad look on her face, she said: "This is the first time I have gone down the mountain since I started. I traveled all the way at night and starry in order to collect merit as quickly as possible and avoid punishment!"
"Wait a minute!"
Li Zhengjing frowned and said, "Come all the way under the stars and at night?"
He Qingyu couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
Li Zhengjing held the handle of the knife and said loudly: "The merits of the sect can be exchanged for various resources, which are extremely important to us! In fact, for the fellow sects who were forced to leave the mountain gate, the merits are even more
important!"
He looked at He Qingyu and said: "The two people who went to Qixing Mansion and Xianzong Mountain Gate to report the news have returned! So the distance to Shenshan in the neighboring county is the shortest, why didn't he return?"
He Qingyu was stunned for a moment and said: "Maybe Commander Zhou is involved in something, and he is waiting for Commander Zhou to return with him?"
Li Zhengjing said in a deep voice: "But for Commander Zhou, sixty meritorious deeds are a huge sum of money that he may not be able to save in the rest of his life! If you can't wait and come all the way under the stars at night, why doesn't Commander Zhou come?
"
He stood up and said aloud: "Maybe Shen Shan didn't go to the neighboring county to deliver the message at all, he would have died on the way!"
"What? Shen Shan is dead?"
He Qingyu's expression changed slightly and he whispered: "Then...he won't come?"
If all the people involved in this case are dead, then this evil cultivator has already avenged himself by killing two minor officials, Zhang Yu and Zhang Chao, last night!
At this moment, has the evil cultivator left here and escaped from the realm of Yuhuaxian Sect?
"But today..."
He Qingyu frowned and said: "I have tamed another three hundred birds, and no suspicious people were found during the day! If they escape, they should not be hidden from my eyes and ears..."
Li Zhengjing remained silent, but thoughts were racing in his mind.
That evil cultivator is not out for revenge, but to get a certain "thing"!
If he didn't flee, that means he killed two clerks last night and didn't get what he wanted!
"Where will this thing be?"
Li Zhengjing suddenly had an idea and said: "Lu Xiaoxuan!"
——
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxuan's whole body was covered in ice and cold.
In front of him was a middle-aged man in black robes with a sinister expression.
"Do you have all your adoptive father's belongings?"
"You..." Lu Xiaoxuan trembled: "It's you! You're not..."
"Shouldn't he be surrounded and killed at Shen Shan's home?"
The middle-aged man in black robe sneered: "Those four fledglings want to ambush me? When I saw Shen Shan come home today, I knew there was a trick!"
"Because Shen Shan went to a neighboring county to report a message, but he was killed by me before he left Wanlin County!"
"At that time, there was no time to chase Zhang Yu and Zhang Chao, so I had to wait for them to come back. But I still didn't find that thing on them last night."
"After much thought, I can only think about you, an outsider!"
He reached out and pinched Lu Xiaoxuan's neck, and said calmly: "Hand it over and I will spare your life."
Lu Xiaoxuan's whole body was covered with ice cold, his legs were shaking, and his whole body was actually limp and weak.
He originally hated the person in front of him with deep hatred, and he had thought that if he saw him, he would avenge his adoptive father even if he risked his life.
But at this moment, he couldn't think of any resistance.
"I don't know what you want." Lu Xiaoxuan said tremblingly.
"Half a month ago, the so-called theft case involved everything." The middle-aged man in black robe said.
"In that case, the two thieves failed to succeed and were beaten to death. There was no physical evidence." Lu Xiaoxuan said.
"I know that there is no physical evidence in this case because it was divided up." The middle-aged man in black robe said calmly.
"Impossible! Everything involved in any case must be in the yamen! There is no physical evidence in this case!"
Lu Xiaoxuan gritted his teeth and said: "It is impossible for my adoptive father to..."
He paused, his eyes changing.
The middle-aged man in black robe said calmly: "Remember? Let's go!"
Lu Xiaoxuan did not dare to resist, so he led the other party back to his residence, opened the door and found the secret compartment.
Capt. Wu’s relics are all inside!
A land deed, a house deed, a broken knife, a pile of broken silver, three calligraphy and paintings, ten books, and a black token.
"Finally found."
The middle-aged man in black robe reached out to hold the Xuanhei Token, his stern face looked extremely complicated.
Lu Xiaoxuan was shocked, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Ten days ago, his adoptive father gave him the token and told him that it was a family heirloom, indestructible and difficult to break with a sword, making it a rare treasure.
When your five-year period expires and you go to the Immortal Sect Mountain Gate to participate in the examination of the outer disciples, you can use this token to present it to the outer disciples for convenience.
"very good."
The middle-aged man in black robe showed admiration, looked at Lu Xiaoxuan and said, "You can die."
When the voice fell, he suddenly stretched out his hand, which was dark in color, and slapped the young man's head with his palm!
But just when he slapped it away with his palm!
A flash of cold light in the darkness!
With a sudden slash, the sword fell from the top of his head!
Five thunder-breaking swords!
"Damn it!"
The middle-aged man in black robe screamed and retreated instantly!
As soon as he retreated, he went outside the hospital. His face was pale and trembling. His right arm was broken at the elbow and blood was gushing out!
"I have been squatting on the beam for half an hour."
Li Zhengjing picked up the knife and walked out of the room with a smile on his face.
"It's you!"
The middle-aged man in black robe looked gloomy and said, "Are you the only one?"
While he was speaking, he moved his inner energy with his left hand and touched the broken part of his right arm.
Immediately, at the place of the break, life was cut off and the flesh and blood rotted, but no more blood flowed out.
"I left here in advance and asked He Qingyu to inform Chen Bing and Zhou Mo."
Li Zhengjing raised his knife and said with a smile: "They will arrive shortly, in about half an hour... It may still be too late for you to escape for your life now."
"Escape?"
The middle-aged man in black robe took out a cold iron hook in his left hand, with a fierce look on his face, he rushed forward and shouted: "I will kill you, why does it take half a quarter of an hour, three breaths are enough!"
"Among the four disciples of the Immortal Sect, you are the youngest and the most shallow in cultivation. How dare you die alone!"
"If you cut off my arm, if I don't chop off your head, how will I lose my face?"
He used evil skills, and the poisonous inner energy wandered around, turning his face into a ferocious one, like an evil ghost appearing in the world!
He came closer, waved his left hand vigorously, and hooked the cold iron hook towards the head of the young man in front of him!
Then he saw the young man's face remained as usual, and he opened his mouth and uttered one word.
"kill!"
With one word spoken, the sword energy rises!
The sword energy burst out and pierced the chest!
Before the middle-aged man in black robe could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and was thrown back, hitting the ground hard.
"Every time I draw my sword, I will be seriously injured. No matter how good my body is, I can't withstand such an injury..."
Li Zhengjing had bleeding from his mouth and nose. He sighed, reached into his arms, took out a bottle and poured it into his mouth.
After taking the Five Elements Creation Ointment, he dragged his long knife and moved forward.
When he came closer, he gently raised the knife, placed it on the neck of the middle-aged man in black robe, and said: "You are under arrest..."
