Chapter 48 The beginning of a legend? (Two chapters sent together)
The young and strong slaves who were filled with righteous indignation couldn't hold it any longer, so they jumped into the pit one after another, rolled up their sleeves, and punched and kicked the "thief" disguised as an intestinal slave.
In the blink of an eye, the dying He Houcai was beaten into a pig's head, his face was covered with blood, and his breath was like a thread.
A great human martial arts master is about to die at the hands of a group of slaves.
Rao Houcai knew that his end was coming, but he was so angry that his eyes widened, his face full of sadness, anger and unwillingness.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! If you continue to fight, someone will die!"
"It's too late... He seems to be dying... What should I do?"
"This thief is so weak. He doesn't get beaten and yet he runs out to become a thief. I don't know what he thinks!"
"It doesn't matter, Erlang is not here, and Young Master is still in the house. He is also a thief. With our relationship with Young Master, we are not afraid of going to the county government."
Xu Kun has arrived.
An older servant explained to him the whole story.
Xu Kun nodded while listening, but his eyes occasionally drifted to Zhou Yi, who was standing by the pine tree not far away.
"This thief sneaked into the Xu Mansion to steal, and also committed murders in public. Only then was he killed by everyone in the Xu Mansion. I will report this to the county king."
In the end, Xu Kun sealed the coffin and concluded.
All the slaves breathed a sigh of relief and all praised the young man for his benevolence and righteousness.
In other Yinghao mansions, killing a thief is not considered a big deal, and would even be applauded.
However, Xu's family education was strict. Xu Gong, Xu Zhiling, and several other princes who were still serving in other places strictly abided by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, taught by words and deeds, and followed the example.
Among the three generations of the Xu family, Xu Kun, the only one who stayed in Wenhe County, was a man who deviated from his family tradition, was lawless, and mixed with various religions and streams.
Xu Gongyuanzhi.
Help me.
After Xu Kun appeased all the slaves, he came to Zhou Yi's side. A strange look appeared on his face, and he folded his hands and bowed: "Thank you, master, for your righteousness and keeping the thief."
"Amitabha, injustice, injustice." Zhou Yi shouted the Buddha's name in a low voice, showing his unbearable expression.
Xu Kun blamed himself in a low voice: "It's all my fault that I didn't discipline these dead dog slaves properly. I hope Master can forgive me."
"That's good, that's good. Now that things have come to this, the young monk can only recite a sutra for this benefactor. I hope he will not do such unjust acts in the next life."
Monk Zhou Yi had compassionate eyes and muttered words, reciting sutras for the salvation of the dead "thief".
The surrounding area gradually became quiet.
Everything is quiet except for the wind patrolling the autumn leaves.
The slaves looked at the majestic Dharma and Master Yichen who was reciting vague but incomprehensible scriptures. They all showed respect, and then they all lowered their heads in shame.
I feel a little guilty for my crime of beating a thief to death...Who knew he was so careless?
On the side, Xiangzhu opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with absurdity.
She is still in shock and uneasiness.
...Do you really think you just killed a thief?
...Please, the person who was beaten to death by you was one of the strongest warriors of the second generation of the Yinmen! The next generation successor who has been given high hopes by everyone in the Yinmen!
...If the Yinmen knew that He Houcai, who had reached the perfection of opening the mansion and only needed to decipher the final mystery to win the title of Guanhun, was actually treated as a thief by a group of servants who did not understand martial arts and beat him to death without any resistance, he was on his deathbed.
He didn't even say half of his last words before... Everyone in the Hidden Sect will definitely go crazy!
...In fact, He Hou was broken by Yichen's palm, and then used the Earth Breaking Escape Technique, and was crippled alive.
...This is really a terrifying monk who looks handsome and compassionate, but is actually ruthless!
...But no matter how powerful the monk is, he is only one person.
...If the Hidden Gate were to strike with all its strength, the Xu Mansion would surely fall apart.
...it’s better to consider a retreat as soon as possible!
Xiangzhu was thinking secretly when the muffled chanting in her ears suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, from the mouth of the sinister and sinister Jun monk, there came a soft moan that only she could catch.
She quietly looked out of the corner of her eyes and saw a hint of surprise in the monk's eyes.
Disappeared in an instant.
Another large paragraph of small black characters appeared in front of Zhou Yi's eyes.
It rose from the head of He Houcai, who had just died.
Zhou Yi blinked his eyes.
The line of small black letters disappeared.
Instead, He Houcai's soul flew away from his body.
Zhou Yi blinked again, and the dead soul turned into small black characters.
Blinking again, the small black characters condensed into a dead soul.
"When a man is about to die, his words are also good!"
Such an old saying floated in Zhou Yi's mind.
Even in the world where I come from, some scholars and experts have discovered that the soul is some kind of energy body similar to electromagnetic waves, or a flow of information.
This view can barely explain why what I saw in He Houcai's soul were small black letters recording his recent memories.
However, I had seen a bad person's soul leave his body before, but it was not transformed into small black characters on the spot.
Could it be that this is another change brought about by inhaling green smoke for the third time?
After inhaling the smoke for the first time, I could easily see ghosts and spirits.
The second time you inhale the smoke, you can obtain information about the slain monster.
After inhaling it for the third time, he can even read the recent memories of the recently deceased soul.
Zhou Yi once again silently praised the mysterious Qingyan.
In He Houcai's recent memory, he was not alone in coming to Wenhe County to investigate Zhao Zhu, a hidden disciple who had sneaked into the Xu Mansion.
Several disciples came with him.
As for the intestinal slave...he is naturally not dead yet.
When He Houcai sneaked into the Xu Mansion early in the morning, he accidentally saw a young slave lying on the ground imitating the spitting of a toad by the pond.
For a moment, I was shocked and moved by my "love for talents".
So, he kidnapped the intestinal slave and left the house, and handed it over to his disciples to guard him closely. He disguised himself as an intestinal slave and sneaked back to Xu Mansion.
In this small black text, there is also the meeting place agreed between He Houcai and the three disciples.
Yinmen stronghold in Guangyuan County.
Several great places to stay.
There are even code words for markings left by He Houcai along the way.
Zhou Yi watched with interest.
Perhaps because of the fragrant beads, he has been silently paying attention to this behemoth hidden in the shadows of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, and has been tracked and investigated by criminals and other court agencies for a long time.
However, the Yinmen's rules and regulations are very strict and the confidentiality is extremely high. Even Xiangzhu may not know all the strongholds in Guangyuan County.
Now, Zhou Yi has a deeper understanding of the Hidden Sect.
In some matters, it even exceeds the fragrance beads.
Under the big tree, the autumn wind is picking up and the leaves are swirling.
Zhou Yi was "reciting sutras" while recalling the brief past acquaintance with a certain curly-haired young man.
‘In this way, I can get rid of my status as a slave and leave the county prison where I have lived for eighteen years. From now on, the sea and the sky will be brighter...
...Wei Xiaochang, your legendary start is even better than that of the former famous general Wang Chenghu.
