Shinto rewards

Chapter 18
The Wuthering Mountain Forest does not just refer to a certain mountain or a forest, but a collective name for the continuous mountains three hundred miles west of Qingfeng City. Due to special geographical reasons, this mountain range has constant mountain winds all year round, so it got its name.

Among the Howling Mountains, there is a kind of hill called Zhongyong Mountain.

As its name suggests, the Zhongyong Mountain is neither the tallest nor the most beautiful among the continuous peaks around it, and there is no unique landscape on the mountain, nor is it where the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers are conducive to cultivation.There is only one mountain spring that gushes out from the cracks in the rocks on the mountainside and flows slowly down the mountain.

However, even this only mountain spring that can be regarded as a "characteristic" is just an ordinary mountain spring at a glance, and there is nothing special about it except that it is convenient to fetch water.

Walking along the path all the way to the mountainside, you can see a wooden archway with the four characters "Wuyu Mountain Villa" written on it with iron paintings and silver hooks.

Standing under the archway and looking into the villa, you will find that although it is called the villa, the construction is extremely simple. There are only seven or eight simple wooden houses in the front and back, and the bluestone roads are connected between them. A larger farmyard, not a so-called villa or villa.

"Is this the Wuyu Villa? It seems a little different from what I imagined." Under the archway outside the villa, Fatty He was walking side by side with Wu Bingyun, with Li Chou on his back.Unexpectedly, Li Chou who was supposed to be in a coma suddenly spoke, which shocked both of them at the same time.

"Brother Li, are you awake?" Fatty He, who had carried Li Chou on his back for more than ten miles on the mountain road, immediately showed joy on his face after being startled.

On the other hand, Li Chou smiled and said, "You know I'm awake, so why don't you let me down quickly? Why haven't you memorized enough?"

"Oh!" Fatty He just woke up like a dream, and quickly let go of the hands holding Li Chou's thigh, and the latter naturally slipped from his back.

"Next." Seeing Li Chou on the other side, Wu Bingyun tossed back the long spear that belonged to him casually, gave him a complicated look, and said, "You have been on guard from the beginning. Didn't you get knocked out by me?"

Li Chou also smiled like sunshine, and patiently explained: "The sixth form of the body gun formula, 'Scorching Sun', after a long period of practice, has an excellent exercise effect on the muscles of the neck and back. In the depths, you can control the muscles in this area to protect the Dazhui point. In addition, your blow was just to knock me out rather than kill me, so it is not difficult to prevent it."

"So, I was still fooled by your acting skills." Wu Bingyun said with a half-smile at this time: "I'm afraid you pretended to be dizzy at first because you wanted to sneak attack me, right?"

"How could it be?" Li Chou immediately argued after hearing the words: "At my level, even if I sneak attack you, it is impossible to succeed!"

"Really?" Wu Bingyun still had an expression of believing that you are a ghost, and said leisurely: "From your previous fight with those two black-clothed killers, I have already seen that your strength has already broken through. In the previous realm, officially entering the seventh stage of body training, in terms of real strength, I am afraid that it will not be inferior to the three-blade maniac He Xiaohe, or even better."

"With joint efforts, even I can't do anything to you in a short time. If you suddenly attack me again, maybe I will really capsize in the gutter."

After listening to Wu Bingyun's clear analysis, before Li Chou had time to say anything, He Xiaohe on the other side suddenly asked in surprise: "Brother Li, I didn't see it. Your emotional strength has finally improved, and you have broken through to The seventh level of body training. The seventh level, hey, that is already the state of the late stage of body training!"

"You are only in the advanced stage, and your whole family is in the advanced stage!"

Interrupted by He Xiaohe's "late stage", Wu Bingyun was in no mood to pursue Li Chou's original motive for pretending to be dizzy.He waved his hand casually, and then said seriously: "Forget it, I don't care what your original plan is. But since you're here, please help me find out the truth about Yingying's murder, you, the whole academy The smartest guy can surely help."

The smartest in the school?Where did this girl hear about?
It seems that we behave in a very low-key way!Even Fatty He and Wu Chi Liu, who have the closest relationship with us, just think that I, Li Chou, have more ideas, and will never associate us with the honorable title of "the smartest in the school".

Before Li Chou could ask why, Fatty He hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you don't really want to help me clear up my wrongdoing, do you? I, the person involved, couldn't understand the situation at that time, and you Why get yourself involved."

Sure enough, even Fatty didn't have full confidence in Li Chou.How did this little girl Wu Bingyun think of asking herself to help solve the case?Who gave you confidence?
But the matter has come to this point, Li Chou can only speak confidently: "If you just run away like this, even if you return to the family and get your grandfather's protection, the crime of the murderer will be completely on your head. Are you really Are you willing to bear this notoriety, and don't want to avenge your Yingying?"

He said this, on the one hand, to reassure He Xiaohe's heart, and at the same time, to show Wu Bingyun that he was willing to cooperate.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from the villa.

"He Xiaohe, you murderer dare to come back!?" With an angry shout, a black-clothed boy shot out from the villa, and a long blue sword in his hand turned into a cold light, straight at He Xiaohe heart.Murderous intent also undisguisedly burst out from between the young man's brows.

"Qiang!" Before He Xiaohe could draw his sword to deal with it, Wu Bingyun on the other side had already taken the lead, using his sword to lift the cyan sword in the hands of the young man in black, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Qiusheng, wait a minute, this matter may not be that simple."

The boy in Tsing Yi is named Ye Qiusheng, and he is also one of the classmates who came to celebrate Gong Yangying's birthday with He Xiaohe and Wu Bingyun.Seeing that Wu Bingyun intercepted his killing move, knowing that no matter how difficult it was for him to succeed, Ye Qiusheng roared unwillingly: "Bingyun, you saw He Xiaohe's murder with your own eyes, can it be faked?"

"I don't want to call me Bingyun, I'm not that familiar with you." Wu Bingyun's face was gloomy and cold, and she still refused to give up an inch in front of Ye Qiusheng: "Since He Xiaohe has returned to Wuyu Villa with me, this matter should be handed over to the public. Grandpa Yang will deal with it, so you can't abuse lynching."

"You!" Ye Qiusheng hated secretly, and was in a dilemma for a while.

"Stop!" At this moment, a contained and extremely majestic voice seemed to ring in the ears of everyone present at the same time, so that no one had the slightest thought of resistance.Immediately following, Li Chou felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a mighty old man with gray hair had appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.

He is Yang Huo, the protagonist of Wuyu Villa!
As the saying goes, if a mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals.Li Chou knew that the old man in front of him was not a fairy, but he was a real innate strong man, and he even had the reputation of being the number one strong man in Qingfeng County.Whether it's the mediocre Zhongyong Mountain under my feet, or the Wuyu Villa that looks like a farmhouse in front of me, they are all famous because of him alone.

Gong Yanghuo's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Wu Bingyun, and asked in a deep voice: "Bingyun, you just said that there is something hidden about this matter, but what new discoveries have you made?"

Hearing this, Wu Bingyun immediately replied truthfully: "Grandpa Gongyang, when I found He Xiaohe, he categorically denied the murder. Let him talk to Grandpa Gongyang about the specific situation."

Gong Yanghuo didn't say a word, but just cast his scrutiny on He Xiaohe.

Under the watchful eyes of the number one expert in Qingfeng County, He Xiaohe suddenly felt a burst of Alexander, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then carefully explained: "Before I came here, I specially prepared a birthday present for Yingying , it was the precious knife that was later considered to be the murder weapon. I planned to present the treasure privately, so I went to find her alone after lunch."

"When I came to the door of Yingying's room, I found that the door was locked from the inside. I just knocked on the door a few times before I heard Yingying's screams coming from the room. I broke in in a hurry and found Yingying Laid in a pool of blood disheveled."

"At this moment, I suddenly felt that I was locked by a strong murderous intent, so I subconsciously pulled out the knife. At this time, Wu Bingyun just arrived, followed by Zhuang Ziqin. They saw Yingying's body lying on the ground. In a pool of blood, and I was holding a steel knife, I immediately decided that I was the murderer, and I couldn't help but kill me to avenge Yingying. I had no choice but to run away..."

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" He Xiaohe had just finished speaking, and Ye Qiusheng was the first to jump out and reprimanded before Gong Yanghuo had anything to say: "What you said is nothing more than your sophistry. At the end, there is no evidence to speak of, Bing Yun..."

In the middle of Ye Qiusheng's speech, Wu Bingyun gave him a hard look, so he could only change his words temporarily: "Student Bingyun, you are so smart, why would you believe his nonsense?"

Wu Bingyun turned to Gongyanghuo and explained: "Grandpa Gongyang was away at the time, and I was the first to rush over after hearing Yingying's screams besides He Xiaohe. This is very consistent with what He Xiaohe said."

"Because of this, I felt that there might be something else hidden in this matter, so I brought He Xiaohe back and asked Grandpa Gongyang to make a decision himself. According to Bingyun, this matter should be thoroughly investigated, otherwise if the murderer is really serious With this person, not only He Xiaohe died unjustly, but Yingying's great hatred still cannot be avenged."

Ye Qiusheng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Gong Yanghuo with a wave.Then the old man's eyes fell on He Xiaohe again, and he said in a deep voice: "This doubt alone cannot remove your suspicion. He Xiaohe, considering Bing Yun's efforts to protect and Lao He's face, we I'll give you another chance. Do you have anything else to say besides what you said earlier?"

He Xiaohe was in a cold sweat when he heard the words, God is sorry, the incident happened urgently, how could he find enough evidence to prove his innocence?
Seeing that He Xiaohe was speechless, Li Chou knew it was time to speak for himself.So he took a step forward, met Gong Yanghuo's oppressive eyes, and said calmly: "How difficult is it to prove his innocence? I want to say something to Bing Yun, when you saw He Xiaohe, the precious sword in his hand Have you ever been bloodied?"
