Chapter 246 Murder pays for life
At this time, although there are many spirits and monsters in the hall of Xiema Zhan, each of them is full of ghosts and scattered, Qi Jingzhi has no fear in his heart, if he didn't want to implicate innocent people, he would have started killing them long ago.

Hearing Dao Chenghuang's question, he immediately nodded without hesitation and said, "It's not only natural to pay for murder and pay for debts, but also expressly written in the law."

"Is there a written law?"

Dao Chenghuang immediately responded with a sneer: "Your Excellency's words are so absurd! It's just a folk proverb that killing people pays for their lives. Since you said that there are clear texts, then we know that there is a 'six killings' in the "Da Qi Law". Points? Among the six killings, the circumstances are serious and the crimes are big or small, and the murderer has to pay for his life before he sees it!"

"Just now I heard from shopkeeper Cheng that your Excellency is the skinning demon Lord Lu Qiyun from Linshan? Lu Demon Lord has never read "The Law of the Great Qi", so it's better not to talk about it in the future, so as not to show cowardice and laugh in front of others Fang family!"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he shook his head lightly and said, "Don't deceive me! There are so many articles in the "Law of Great Qi", I really haven't read them all, but when it comes to murder, I really know it!"

"The six murders are murder, murder, fighting, manslaughter, manslaughter and joking. Among them, murder and murder are both homicide, or hang or beheaded; , or killing or extorting; joking murder is reduced to a second-class punishment for killing by fighting, which is nothing more than a rod punishment; manslaughter is the least serious, and the quasi-criminal is redeemed with copper."

"Evil spirits causing chaos and killing human life should undoubtedly be judged as murder or intentional killing, and they should be paid with life! This is what I said that the law has clear texts. I really don't know where the error is. I also ask the Taoist City God to explain it to me!"

As the leader of a group of road monsters, Dao Chenghuang is used to running rampant in this rural area, how could he think that an ignorant mountain spirit in his eyes would have read "The Law of Da Qi", not only failed to scare Qi Jingzhi, but himself I was choked to the point of being speechless.

Its face became more and more gloomy, and it took a long time to say: "Since Lu Mojun is familiar with criminal laws, he should know the truth that lynching should not be used to kill people. Even if there are demons who kill innocent people indiscriminately and deserve death for their crimes, they should be bound to the court and dealt with according to the law. Here It is under the jurisdiction of this official, and I have my own opinions on how to act, and please don't know the law and disrupt the law, and act recklessly!"

"Abducted to Yousi?"

It was the first time for Qi Jingzhi to see such a spirit who understood the principles of the law and how to abide by the laws and regulations, and he felt strange for a while.

He reached out and wiped his waist, and a golden token appeared in his palm: "May I ask the City God, is the ruler of the country who destroys the demons and the army, and the Great Qi Gou Chenyuan considered Yousi in your mouth? I am a battalion of Gouchenyuan Is Wei qualified to eliminate demons according to the law?"

Before Daochenghuang could answer, Qi Jingzhi asked another series of questions: "Daochenghuang kept claiming to be an official, but he didn't know whether he was granted by the king's imperial seal or appointed by the official department? Geometry?"

Seeing the token in Qi Jingzhi's palm, Dao Chenghuang's expression changed abruptly. It seemed that he clearly knew where the Gouchen Court was, but he opened his mouth but never spoke.

Most of the rest of the ghosts showed blank expressions, and even the Chefu boys turned their heads in astonishment, not understanding that their benefactor was clearly the Linshan Skinning Demon Lord, so why did he suddenly become a hook Chenyuanyingwei?

After a short silence, it was the vertical-eyed woman who suddenly laughed sharply: "My old lady has never been able to read, but she can't recognize any tokens! If you say you are from the Demon Town Institute, I will be afraid if you don't know. Let the neck be slaughtered! But what kind of shit is this hook Chenyuan? I've never heard of it!"

"It's not too late to hear about it now."

Qi Jingzhi smiled faintly at the vertical-eyed woman, and the Lingguan's mask revealed a hideous face: "Many of you present may not be able to read or write. It doesn't matter."

"Since it is a folk proverb to kill people and pay for their lives, it must have been widely spread, and everyone must have heard of it. If someone commits this and dies on the spot tonight, it must not be regarded as punishment for not teaching!"

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the Xiema Inn lobby became more and more tense, with a faint killing intent.

Cheng Deqi behind the counter quickly said: "Everyone has something to say, don't hurt your peace! The alcohol in Cheng's body is like your blood, if it survives, it will live, and if it is lost, it will die. It really can't be taken out to entertain guests, but There are still a few jars in the wine cellar of the small shop that have been treasured for a century, and they are brought here for the distinguished guests to feast and drink."

"It's just that the hundred-year-old wine is strong and heavy. It's not that my rotten body can move, so I asked fellow Daoist Fengzi Gui to come and help."

After all, the shopkeeper Cheng beckoned to the somewhat confused Feng Zigui, as if he was about to climb down from the wooden bench.

It wanted to take Fengzi ghost with it, so it was naturally out of good intentions, but it was too straightforward, so how could it be possible?

The vertical-eyed lady turned her head abruptly, her pair of vertical eyes glowed fiercely: "Be honest! Anyone who dares to escape will die immediately!"

Cheng Deqi's fat and short body froze in place, and he didn't dare to speak rashly again.

Seeing all kinds of behaviors in the hall and each obsessed with each other, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help shaking his head slightly, hung the token back on his waist in silence, and grabbed the tiger-shade jasper chime from the table.

"clang!"

A crisp and melodious knocking sound followed, and yellow-black clouds of smoke gushed out from the Tiger Evil Jasper Chime, and spread out under the guidance of the chime hammer, adhering to the roof, floor and four walls.

In an instant, the floor, floor, and doors and windows of the Xiemazhan lobby were all sealed by tiger smoke, and there were even two tiger ghost corpses and a dozen flesh-winged flying tigers appearing and disappearing, staring at them.

Not to mention the power of the tiger-shaking jasper chime, the appearance alone was enough to bluff people. All the monsters in the hall were intimidated by its momentum, and none of them acted rashly, fearing that they would become unlucky ones who would be used to stand up.

Gao Tianzhang was caught by Qi Jingzhi, so he lost a lot of scruples, and immediately sneered: "Dare to ask Lieutenant Lu Ying, whether my hands are contaminated with the blood of innocent people, how should we judge? If the deer is allowed to Yingwei decides with his heart and with a single word, doesn't it mean that whoever you dislike will lose his life?"

These few words were clearly intended to be provocative, but Qi Jingzhi was well prepared, and immediately laughed loudly: "Have you ever heard of a bright mirror hanging high?"

At the same time, a bright moon flew out from behind his head, hanging in the air and blooming with clear light.

I only heard the captain of the Gouchenyuan cough lightly, and said leisurely: "This is the magic mirror of my Gochenyuan, please walk through this mirror one by one, if any evil spirits have committed evil and murdered people , as long as it is illuminated by the mirror light, there is nothing to hide immediately, and then it is swallowed alive by the precious mirror, and dies a miserable death! As for those who have no crimes, they will be safe and sound!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the lobby.

These spirits didn't recognize the companion spirit, and they didn't really believe that there was such a god in the world, but hearing Qi Jing's words with certainty, they were all surprised and uncertain for a while.

Even Li Shan Guangye couldn't help turning his head to look at Qi Jingzhi, his round eyes were full of surprise and inquiry, as if he was asking, "Is it true?"

Through the mask of the Lingguan, Qi Jingzhi blinked at the chubby boy, and returned an inscrutable look: "Guess!"

Seeing this, Li Shan Guangye couldn't help curling his lips, feeling that he had seen through the intentions of this cheap elder brother.

Regardless of whether the mirror hanging in mid-air has the magical ability to detect crimes, those people who are full of evil and deceitful will not dare to audition for the mirror rashly, and most of them will show their feet in fear. He was caught by the battalion lieutenant of Chen Yuan.

"Isn't this just setting up a net and catching a hook?"

Li Shan Guangye's eyes flickered and he could not stop slandering, he almost wrote the words "people's hearts are sinister" on his face.

Qi Jingzhi looked around the hall, taking in all the changes in the expressions of the spirits, and made a rough screening silently in his heart.

Immediately, he stared at Gao Tianzhang, and said solemnly: "This mirror is the most just and effective. If you have never done any evil, even if you are entangled with injustice, as long as it passes the inspection of the mirror, I will only regard it as innocent." On the other hand, if anyone refuses to step forward, then of course there are ghosts in their hearts, and they are willing to confess their sins and subdue the law!"

Now that things have happened, anyone who sees the jade chime of the tiger and the Xuanjian of heaven and earth, and the cowering attitude of the Daocheng God who does not dare to fight back, should know that this Lu Yingwei is not a good match.

The ghosts all looked at Gao Tianzhangren, wondering how it would respond. Even the vertical-eyed woman who had been the most clamored before had a pair of strange eyes, and her eyes wandered between Gao Tianzhangren and Tiandi Xuanjian.

The four faces of Gao Tianzhangren obviously did not turn around as fast as before. They originally intended to incite the spirits in the hall, but the clinker was easily resolved by Qi Jingzhi's few words, and even faintly pushed to the front by a group of spirits.

I saw it pondering for a while, then turned around suddenly, moved a few steps sideways, and quickly scooped up the fur collar coat that was wet and dripping with water with its slender arms.

Among the four dead man's clothes, this fur-collar coat looked the tallest and heavy, caught off guard and immediately struggled frantically, with such strength that Gao Tianzhang almost let go of his hands, and black and smelly sewage splashed everywhere.

Gao Tianzhang added another arm without hesitation, barely suppressing the resistance of the fur-collared coat, and at the same time strode vigorously and swung his arm, throwing it towards the bright moon in the hall without any explanation.

Under the eyes of everyone, the brilliance of the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth suddenly flourished, and with a slight sway in the air, he easily swallowed the fur-collar coat without any reluctance.

Until this time, the other three dead man's clothes stood up in panic, but they didn't try to stop them, but huddled together, avoiding Mr. Gao Tianzhang far away, for fear of following in the footsteps of that unlucky man in the fur-collar coat.

After waiting for a moment, the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth was still hanging high.

Seeing that it was impossible to get out of the fur collar coat, Gao Tianzhang sighed like a normal person: "As far as I know, ghosts in water jackets like to stay in the bottom of the water the most. It will show its body shape, and when the person goes into the water to salvage it, he will take the opportunity to tie him up into a ball and drag him to the bottom of the water to drown him alive, just to swallow his last breath of life before death."

Jin Ping Hai'er also shook his head: "I have been drifting in various mountain streams before, and I have met it several times, but I don't know that it is so cruel, so perverted, and it kills innocent people, it deserves this reward!"

It pointed to itself: "To tell you the truth, I have been taught by my mother since I was a child that I never kill people lightly. Only there was a group of bandits in Baqiu Mountain. They murdered and set fire, and did all kinds of evil, which caused disasters to my neighbors." It was unbearable. After I cultivated the means, I killed all those bandits, shouldn’t this be considered killing innocent people?”

Although Jin Ping Haier's expression and tone did not seem to be fake, Qi Jingzhi would not trust its one-sided words.

Earlier, Fuda said that Gao Tianzhangren and Jin Ping Haier had good reputations, but who knew that Gao Tianzhang was only using covert means, not as tyrannical as the vertical eye woman, but he did not hesitate to do evil, how did Jin Ping Haier not in this way?

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi said indifferently: "If what you said is true, this action is not to kill the innocent, but to be a chivalrous act. Since you have a clear conscience, you might as well go to the mirror and take a picture. Whether it is good or evil Know for yourself."

Jin Ping Haier shook his head again when he heard the words: "Whether Lu Yingwei's mirror can reflect evil spirits or not is unknown, but its power is unquestionable."

"Although I think I have never killed innocent people, I dare not put myself in danger. Otherwise, if I am swallowed by it, I will die in vain, and I will bear a bad name for no reason, and even hurt my mother. Who can I ask for reason? ?Put yourself in the same way as others, presumably everyone in the hall has the same thoughts as me."

Seeing that the Jin Ping child was more difficult than Gao Tianzhang, Qi Jingzhi chuckled and asked, "How are you doing?"

Jin Ping'er lowered his head slightly, stared at Qi Jingzhi with his eyes on the top, and said word by word: "As the saying goes, you take the thief and take the stolen goods. Tonight, I and I are just here to have a banquet. If Captain Lu Ying insists on making things difficult, we will save our lives." , and we can only fight together to the death!"

As soon as the words fell, Shuyanpo and Gao Tianzhang had already taken a step together, and they seemed to be fighting against each other. Even the two pairs of black and white road gods and four kobolds carrying chariots under the command of the Taoist City God could not help feeling restless.

Among them, Gao Tianzhang stretched out his hand to grab it, and pulled out a four-edged arrow from the void. It was more than two feet long, white as frost and snow, and radiant with cold light.

The next moment, it pointed the arrow at Qi Jingzhi, and the four mouth holes whistled one after another. The sound was layered and echoed in the lobby of Xie Ma Zhan, with a strange power that captivated people's hearts.

"Lu Qiyun, I call you, do you dare to agree?"

As the sound of monsters entered his ears, Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt dazed for a while, and then regained his clarity in an instant. When he raised his eyes, he saw four phantoms of young children flying towards him.

These phantoms of young children all have ferocious faces, and their ages and statures are different. There are jet-black characters engraved on their foreheads, which are "three", "six", "nine" and "twelve".

All of a sudden, the three golden eyes of the spirit officer's mask suddenly became brighter, and the bright red flames condensed, illuminating a bright candle.

Qi Jingzhi's whole body was full of vigor, and his pure mind was scattered in all directions, violently rushing into the hearts of the spirits in the hall.

The ghosts only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and a tall and tall young man vaguely appeared in their hearts, with cassock and crane shoes, a collar hanging around his neck, wings on his back, and a tiger at his feet.

At the same time, in the void inside the mask of the spirit official, the phantoms of the four young children screamed in unison, either igniting the red fire, or adding the cold sword light to the body, or entering the mouth of Qingqiu, or Devoured by the young tiger, it disappeared in an instant.

Naturally, no one could see this scene, and only then did the group of ghosts break free from Qi Jingzhi's mind, and saw that the magic voice in Gao Tianzhang's mouth stopped abruptly, the four faces stopped turning, and the arrow in his hand suddenly lost its luster , and even more shocking scorching marks out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, Tiandi Xuanjian put his hood under his hood, and completely devoured this evil creature that was more than ten feet long.

For a while, there was silence in the lobby of Xiema Zhan, and needles could be heard.

The flames in Qi Jingzhi's eyes gradually dimmed and returned to the clarity of autumn water.

He suddenly opened the Lingguan's wide mouth, and exhaled a cloud of foul-smelling black smoke.

"The spring is not prosperous at the time of Youxu Chen, and the mid-summer is dead at the time of Wei Maozi. At the time of Yinwu, autumn is taboo, and in winter, Haishen is a calamity."

The young Lieutenant Chen Yuanying looked at the cloud of black smoke in his eyes, raised his hand to scatter it, and immediately praised softly: "Calling the name to confuse people's hearts, what a vicious and ruthless general!" arrow!"
