A knife in love

Chapter 928

Several people discussed it, and finally agreed that Liu Yong and Chu Danyang would go to see Han Qusi, while Xu Chenghe and Feng Jie were responsible for selecting fifty light kung fu masters, and they would stand by at the Huashan School's resting place.Li Qiufeng took Wan Congyun and others to the five-mile long pavilion outside the southern city to collect the body of Monk Xuanji and check the situation outside the city.

Li Qiufeng took Wan Congyun and others out of Nancheng, and walked for more than two miles, but saw a group of people running over in a panic.Li Qiufeng stood in the middle of the road, stretched out his hand to stop the group of people, and said to an old man with a gray beard, "I have invited you. Why are you all so flustered? Could it be that something happened ahead?"

The old man looked terrified and was out of breath when he ran. After being stopped by Li Qiufeng, he gasped heavily while beating his chest with his right hand clenched in his fist, unable to speak a word for a long time.Mei Dali yelled fiercely from the side: "Old fellow, did you hear what our Master Li asked you?!"

The old man was startled, and then he took a closer look at Mei Dali, his body shook suddenly, and when he saw Wan Congyun and Bayuyan standing aside angrily, his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that it's the Second Master Wan, the Third Master Mei, and Uncle Ba. The little old man was blind and didn't see the three of you coming here..."

Wan Congyun sneered, and said in his mouth: "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Boss Du. Your oil shop is not bad, and it seems that you have gained a lot of benefits from the old bus. In this case, next month's regular money will be charged Three taels, you go back and prepare the silver."

The old man was taken aback, only then did he realize that he called Wan Congyun Second Lord Wan, but called Bayuyan Uncle Ba, and offended Wan Congyun unintentionally.He knew that Wan Congyun was the meanest person, the most difficult to provoke in Xiuwu County.At this moment, when I heard that this person wanted to charge an additional three taels of silver, I was stunned and said in a trembling voice: "Wan Er...Master Wan, didn't you kill the little old man? The oil workshop of the little old man , the monthly income is only more than a dozen taels of silver. After the cost of hiring labor and purchasing raw materials, the remaining three or four taels is already a high incense. Your old man needs to add extra money, and the whole family of the little old man has to go to drink The northwest wind is blowing. I also ask Uncle Wan to be merciful, hold your hand high, and let the little old man spare this time."

Wan Congyun sneered and said, "Boss Du, I don't want your life, I only want your money! Prepare four taels of silver next month, and someone will come to pick it up."

The old man was so frightened that he kept bowing and bowing, unable to even speak.Bayuyan said from the side: "Old Du, you don't have to be afraid. I will send someone to watch the door for you and see if anyone dares to come to collect the money?!"

Wan Congyun stared, and was about to yell.Li Qiufeng hummed, Wan Congyun and Bayuyan were startled, took a few steps back, and dared not speak again.Li Qiufeng said to the old man: "Old man, I guarantee you that from today onwards, you don't have to pay anyone any money."

The old man was taken aback, but seeing Wan Congyun and others respectful to Li Qiufeng, this person did not seem to be talking big.He was shocked for a while, and the corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he couldn't speak.

Li Qiufeng said: "What happened in front, why are you so panicked?"

The old man trembled and said: "In front, in front of you, there is a human head hanging on a high pole... There is also a headless corpse in the pavilion, it seems to be a monk..."

Before he finished speaking, the six or seven passers-by who escaped with him also shouted one after another, saying that there was a murder ahead and the situation was extremely horrific.Some people also persuaded Li Qiufeng and others not to go any further, so as not to be harmed by thieves.

The old man calmed down a little at this time, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Master, since Mr. Huang took office in Xiuwu County, there has never been such a murder case. The little old man advises you to return to the city as soon as possible. Seriously, lest you be killed by a thieves."

Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Wan Congyun, Mei Dali and Bayuyan: "You three are also natives of Xiuwu County. These people are all from the village. Why make things difficult for them? What is the case? Why don't you exploit them?"

Although Wan Congyun and the others were unwilling, they did not dare to say "no" in front of Li Qiufeng, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.The old man and the others didn't know what Li Qiufeng's background was, but they were secretly amazed when they saw Wan Congyun and the others look so melancholy in front of him.

Li Qiufeng said to the old man and others: "Go back to the city quickly, let's go to the pavilion in front and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he strode forward without waiting for the old man to answer.Wan Congyun and the others followed closely behind him, each with their chests and stomachs raised, looking very mighty.

Along the way, I met three or four groups of passers-by, all panicked, and hurried towards the direction of Xiuwu County.When Li Qiufeng and others arrived at the five-mile long pavilion, they saw a pole more than three feet high erected outside the pavilion. There was a human head hanging from the pole, and it was impossible to see it from a distance. If it was not the monk Xuanji, who else?

Li Qiufeng endured his grief and walked under the pole, only to see a piece of white cloth hanging on the pole.Li Qiufeng didn't even look at the handwriting written in blood on the white cloth, he drew the knife with his right hand, and cut off the pole with one blow.There was only a sound of "click", and the high pole fell to the left.Li Qiufeng rushed forward with a stride, swung the long knife with his right hand, and cut off the rope that tied the head, and caught Monk Xuanji's head with his left hand.

At this moment, only a "bang" was heard, but the pole fell to the ground, and the residual snow on the ground was scattered everywhere.

Li Qiufeng put the knife back into its sheath, held the head of Monk Xuanji, with tears in his eyes, turned and walked towards the pavilion.I saw that the stone tables and benches in the pavilion had been overturned to the ground, and there were a few handprints left on the four pillars. It was obvious that someone had tampered with the pavilion.Monk Xuanji's headless body was lying reclined on the ground with his head on the west and his feet on the east, with a large amount of blood splashed on the monk's robe on his chest.

Wan Congyun and the others were quite savvy, and rushed to help the stone table and bench up.Mei Dali clasped his hands together, and said to Monk Xuanji's body, "Grand Monk, you must be unwilling to be murdered by a traitor. I also hope that you will point out the clues in the spirit of heaven and help us find the murderer and kill him ten thousand times." Scrape, I will avenge you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sudden gust of wind outside the pavilion, blowing up the residual snow and dead branches on the ground and flying around, the tiles on the pavilion collided with each other, and there was a constant clanging sound.The dead grass and withered trees were whining even more, as if someone was whimpering and moaning.

The faces of Wan Congyun and the others changed drastically, and they secretly scolded Mei Dali for putting on airs and provoking ghosts and gods.Mei Dali also turned pale, and said in a trembling voice: "Grand Monk, there is a grievance and a debtor. If you want to find someone to avenge, you can go to the person who killed you. We are all good people, you, you don't want to come here. Our trouble!"

Li Qiufeng didn't pay attention to what Mei Dali was muttering at all.He placed Monk Xuanji's head respectfully on the stone table, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently.When he saw the head of Monk Xuanji, he opened his eyes, but the eyeballs were stagnant, without any brilliance.He suppressed the grief in his heart, stretched out his hand to close Monk Xuanji's eyes, then turned around and walked to the side of Monk Xuanji's body, squatted down, and stretched out his right hand to grope for Monk Xuanji's chest.After touching it, he immediately noticed that Monk Xuanji had four broken bones in his chest, and many left and right ribs were also broken.He stood up again, looked carefully at the palm prints on the pillar, then nodded, and thought to himself: "The person who killed Master Xuanji also used Prajna Palm Kungfu, and his palm strength is stronger than that of Master Xuanji. Among these evil heretics, Monk Guangzhi was born in Putian Shaolin Temple, so he is naturally proficient in Prajna Palm. It seems that Master Xuanji died in the hands of this person!"

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng swore inwardly that if he didn't cut Monk Guangzhi into pieces and avenge Monk Xuanji, he would suffer from the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

Wan Congyun and the others stood aside, seeing that Li Qiufeng's face was livid and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.These rascals in the market are the best at watching their faces. They are afraid of running into Li Qiufeng's bad luck, so they slip quietly outside the pavilion, hiding far away, not even daring to make a sound.

After half a stick of incense, Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Wan Congyun and the others: "Please pick up some dead branches, I will cremate Master Xuanji's body and send him to the Western Paradise!"
