Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 112 The truth is not important anymore
"Side technique - the disintegration of the demon!"

The water ghost, who was originally restrained by the shackles of the forbidden law and had no power to resist, suddenly swelled into a giant tall at this moment!

The knotted muscles covered with veins tore through his clothes and turned into a strange dark blue color, his eyes were full of fierceness and ferocity.

The wind suddenly picked up.

The thick arm twisted and punched Xu Chong who was close at hand.

Xu Chongzheng stared at Lu Zhong with all his attention, he didn't expect this sudden change at all.

Completely out of instinct, Xu Chong raised his palm to meet him, trying to resist the water ghost's attack.

But at this moment.

The huge body of the water ghost continued to shrink, and the whole person fell towards Xu Chong.

Xu Chong's soul flew into the sky.

If it was just the body shrinking and toppling over, it would not be so horrifying to him.

But the problem is.

Under these changes, the water ghost was supposed to face Xu Chong's fist, but it just staggered and replaced it with...

throat!

"you can."

The water ghost's lips moved slightly, and his eyes were smiling.

--No! ! !

Xu Chong violently tried to withdraw his hand.

The violent friction caused his muscles and bones to scream.

Unfortunately it's still late.

- Pfft!
A head flew up.

Xu Chong was sprayed with bright red blood all over his body.

It all happened between the electric light and the flint.

When the water ghost rose violently, Lu Zhong turned around.

And when he got close, the water ghost's head had already flown into the air.

"Damn!! He actually knows how to perform side tricks?!"

Lu Zhong's complexion turned extremely ugly, and he directly pushed the water ghost's standing body down, "Fortunately, there was a forbidden shackle, so it couldn't fully explode."

Gathering his mind, Lu Zhong looked at Xu Chong worriedly again: "Is Xiaoyou Xu hurt? I have a good magic medicine here..."

"No need."

Xu Chong smiled, and asked: "Master Cifu, what did you mean just now, is that this move cannot be fully unleashed?"

"...As long as there is no kind of way, the restrictions of the forbidden law can ignore the realm."

Lu Zhong looked at the smiling face soaked in blood, and subconsciously shifted his eyes, "The disintegration of the demon is a special art, it destroys the orifices, reverses the veins, and burns the body at the same time, and it doesn't need strong support to complete, so it can break free. Restriction... It's a pity that he doesn't know that the material of the forbidden law shackle has great toughness, which is enough to support his body changes and suppress subsequent outbreaks."

The water ghost doesn't know?
Ah.

How could not know.

Xu Chong smiled and turned to Zhang Shunyi.

Zhang Shunyi fell on the ground in a slump, staring blankly at the headless corpse.

The teacher's words were turned over and over in my mind.

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, answer."

"Hand out!"

"Why? Your answer just now is correct, but it's all copying what the sages said. That's all, how can you pass the township test? Reach out!"

"Today's homework failed, you are not allowed to go home for dinner!"

"What?! That kid is hanging from the beam?!"

"Don't persuade me face to face, just listen to me..."

"You don't want to take the country test?"

"You are confused!"

"..."

Although most of them were very strict, Zhang Shunyi could clearly feel the caring from the heart.

But why does such a person want to enslave and kill his father?
Zhang Shunyi couldn't understand, his eyes became confused.

Xu Chong caught this point, and didn't care about Lu Zhong, and asked directly: "Now, do you remember that mysterious person back then?"

"Mystery man……"

Zhang Shunyi slowly came back to his senses, and said, "It's Zhou Ze."

As early as not long after he first stepped into martial arts, he retrieved his memory.

When he was in Canglong back then, it was none other than Canglong county chief secretary, Zhou Ze, who tempted him to suspect Wang Hezhi.

"It's no wonder your demons are not serious, because when you broke through, Zhou Ze had already been painted on the portrait of the water ghost as a rebel of the Taiping Dao."

"Of course you won't believe much in the words of a rebel, so your doubts about the master are not as firm as before."

Xu Chong pointed to the corpse on the ground, "But think about it, if Zhou Ze was also transformed by the water ghost, why would he lead you to doubt yourself?"

"This……"

Zhang Shunyi was taken aback, "It means that Zhou Ze is not a water ghost at all... So what the master said just now is true?"

"No, quite the opposite."

Xu Chong shook his head, "I think it was Zhou Ze who enslaved and killed your father."

"At the beginning, when I was just promoted to official status, I got the exercises from the memory of my blood, and I became a martial artist at the first level of enlightenment very early."

"On the day of your father's accident, I was in charge of leading the search team. During the process, I dismissed all the yamen servants and went to the Blackwater Dock first to investigate."

Xu Chong looked at Zhang Shunyi with a calm and indifferent tone, "Sure enough, I found your father."

"what?!"

Zhang Shunyi stood up directly, "Did he say anything to you?"

"He told me to be careful about Zhou Ze, and take care of you if I have the energy."

Xu Chong replied, "At that time, he was dying. I couldn't save him, so I had no choice but to return... When the yamen servants found him, he was completely dead."

"That……"

Zhang Shunyi lowered his head and looked at the corpse again: "Why did Master say that?"

"Perhaps he thinks that if you die with a debt of blood on your back, you can completely eliminate your inner demons?"

Xu Chong shook his head, "But it's just the opposite."

"That's quite possible."

Lu Zhong thought for a moment, then nodded, "The explosion happened just now, and now I think it is indeed begging for death."

Lies form a closed loop here.

"So...that's it..."

Zhang Shunyi murmured.

His vision was completely blurred, no matter how much he rubbed it, he couldn't see it clearly.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhong, almost pleading, "The traitor... must be a big treacherous evil?"

Lu Zhong's face turned solemn, and he asked back: "The officials of the imperial court must be the most kind and benevolent?"

Although there is no answer, this is already the best answer.

Good and evil are not based on status.

same.

Life and death are not based on good or evil.

Although cruel, Zhang Shunyi had already got the answer he wanted.

"Students understand."

Zhang Shunyi cried and laughed, bowed his hands and bowed, his voice choked up: "Please allow me, Master, to bury Master right now."

"Go."

Lu Zhong nodded, "Although Xie Changqing was granted the title of Marquis of Taiping, he has no foundation in the court after all, and this matter can be suppressed as a teacher."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Thank you, Master Cifu."

……

……

The cemetery of the water ghost was set by Xu Chong on the edge of the cliff beyond the east city wall.

Not next to Qin Tianjian.

It's next to the Imperial College.

Although there is not a separate passage like Qin Tianjian, there are occasional reading sounds coming from here.

Xu Chong felt that even if the water ghost came back to life, he couldn't find any faults.

The two of them didn't use any tools, they just relied on their hands and dug out pinch by pinch of soil.

The movement is serious and slow.

After a stick of incense, a small bump of soil swelled up.

Xu Chong found a huge stone and used his palm as a knife to carve out a stone tablet.

Zhang Shunyi watched silently, but did not stop him.

Although anti-thieves are not allowed to erect monuments and leave words, but almost no one has set foot here, so there is no need to worry about being noticed and reported.

But he was wrong.

Xu Chong pointed like a knife and carved a few words.

"This……"

Zhang Shunyi was surprised.

"What do you think I want to engrave?"

Xu Chong glanced at Zhang Shunyi, "Wang Hezhi? That's not him."

"The words of the water ghost..."

"One, the water ghost is not his real name either."

"Second, if the name of the underworld is to add ghost after the name... What if he gets angry and won't bless us?"

indeed.

Zhang Shunyi nodded approvingly, "Why don't you engrave the word Master?"

"You look up and look into the Imperial College, did the old clapper on the third floor see it?"

Xu Chong said, "He is the sacrificial wine accompanying the Imperial Academy, and he is also called Master."

"Ok."

Zhang Shunyi looked away.

The stele was erected and planted in front of the soil bag.

Xu Chong clapped his hands and faced the sea of ​​clouds: "The scenery is nice and clean, and occasionally someone reads to him, which is not bad."

"What Master likes is not listening to people reading...but teaching people to read."

Zhang Shunyi shook his head.

"That's fine."

Xu Chong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Many of the Imperial College accompanying the capital are unlearned and incompetent, and some of them are busy."

"In that case, it is true."

Zhang Shunyi nodded.

The two of them didn't speak again, just quietly watching the sea of ​​clouds rise and fall.

Until it gets dark.

"Actually, Zhou Ze didn't kill my father, right?"

Zhang Shunyi asked suddenly.

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "Why do you see that?"

"That day, the day my father had an accident."

Zhang Shunyi said, "When I was about to go out to the county school, he asked me a word."

"What?"

Xu Chong tilted his head.

"He asked me, if one day, he killed my closest person, would I forgive him."

"I didn't understand it at the time, so I asked, isn't he the closest person to me?"

"He nodded in satisfaction, and then let me live in the school for a day."

Zhang Shunyi smiled, "Now that I think about it, the closest person he mentioned... should be Brother Xu."

Xu Chong was shocked.

"However, whatever the truth is, it doesn't matter anymore."

Zhang Shunyi shook his head, "It's still the same sentence, what I hate is not the person who killed my father, but the person who changed my father."

"I believe that Master would not do that, nor would Brother Xu...Brother Xu was still young at that time, and he couldn't do that either."

"so."

Zhang Shunyi turned sideways to face Xu Chong, and bowed deeply: "Young brother is gone, please take care of Brother Xu."

Xu Chong looked at him, sighed quietly, and then bowed.

"treasure."

It didn't take long.

The huge team started, slowly passed through the city gate, and went down the mountain.

This high-profile team only stayed in the capital for one day.

With the corpse of a rebel, he replaced the champion of the new department.

Xu Chong did not send them off, but sat alone beside the stele until late at night.

"What's 'you can do'?"

"Can I help Shunyi get through this difficult time?"

"Still, I can get through my own difficulties?"

The moonlight was pleasant, clearly reflecting the inscriptions on the stone tablet beside it.

'You are confused'.
