Traveling through the heavens starts from practicing swords in the palace

Chapter 107 Twelve Demons

While Lin Pingzhi was drinking tea, two people entered the shop.

Seeing them, Lin Pingzhi felt a little strange, and greeted him: "Mr. Xue, Brother Fang, it's just in time for you to come, come and have a cup of tea."

The visitors are Xue Feng, who is proficient in internal skills, and the cold-faced Lang Junfang Lu, who are enshrined in the family of the richest man in the town, Wang Youcai.

Lin Pingzhi was very impressed with Fang Lu. This person always had a cold face like a zombie, and he must be hiding some secret in his heart.

However, Lin Pingzhi himself had many secrets, and he didn't have the heart to inquire about them.

The two of them seemed to be looking for Lin Pingzhi, and without Lin Pingzhi calling, they had already sat down.

Fang Lu gave the old horse a cold look.

The old horse has seen many people, so he naturally knew what he meant, nodded and said: "Mr. Lin, then you can chat with your guests first, and I will go to work first."

After talking, he drank the hot tea in his teacup, got up and left, leaving Lin Pingzhi and the three of them to talk.

Lin Pingzhi took out two more teacups from the table, poured tea for them, and said calmly, "What do you two want me to do?"

The cold-faced Lang Jun Fang Lu didn't say a word, and it was naturally Xue Feng who spoke: "Young Master Lin, we have the whereabouts of that child."

Lin Pingzhi's face was not happy, and he said calmly: "Oh, I have been searching for a few days but I can't find him. Did you find out where he is?"

Xue Feng said: "The identity of this child is extremely mysterious. Only a few people in the town know of his existence. It is very difficult for Mr. Lin to find out if he asks someone."

"I only heard some news from Li Tong, the well-informed man in the house, that the kid left Qingfeng Town a few days ago, and now he's back."

Lin Pingzhi asked, "Where is he now?"

Xue Feng shook his head and said: "I don't know about that either. Although Li Tong is known as the God's Eye, he only said that the child is now in Qingfeng Town, and he can't tell where it is."

Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "This is very difficult. Is it possible that I will search from house to house again to see if there is such a child in any house?"

Xue Feng also frowned and said: "It's really looking for every family, maybe he heard the news and left first."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Who is this kid? Why do these strange people in your town change their colors when they mention him?"

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What's going on in this small town? Why are there so many hidden and strange people?"

"That Xu Fat Pig I met a few days ago is at least no weaker than Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng School, when he is dragged into the rivers and lakes."

He asked two questions in a row, Xue Feng could only answer one by one: "I don't know who that child is, but he is undoubtedly related to people like Qingfeng Town."

"He came to Wang's house to look for Wang Youcai once earlier. When Wang Youcai heard that he was coming, he seemed to be very scared, so he asked more than ten experts including me to secretly protect him nearby."

"I've seen his appearance from a distance, and it really is what you described, my lord. He looks like an eight-year-old child, and his features are full of childishness."

"But the temperament in every gesture is much stronger than that of a so-called master like me."

"He sat with Wang Youcai, Wang Youcai was like a sheep, extremely docile."

"Such a child is really special. Some people even say that he is a prince from the palace. I will not doubt it."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said: "If a child looks like this, then his family background will definitely be extraordinary."

"The disappearance of our bodyguard may be caused by the forces behind him."

Xue Feng continued: "Hey, as for the people in this small town...Mr. Lin will tell you the truth, didn't you ask last time, Brother Fang and I came here for money, why did we come to the Wang family?"

"We came here because the common enemy of Brother Fang and I may be in this small town."

Lin Pingzhi took another sip of tea, and said calmly, "I don't know who your enemy is?"

"As far as the people I meet these days..."

"The old horse couple in this inn, the richest man in the town, Wang Youcai, the old Zhangtou who has a vicious dog, and that Xu Fat pig, including the child you just mentioned, are all weird, but not ordinary."

Xue Feng said: "Young Master Lin is still young, so you may not know that there were twelve people in the rivers and lakes in the past, each possessing extraordinary skills, and together they were called the Twelve Demons."

"These twelve evil spirits have done many evil things and finally aroused the public's anger. The martial arts righteousness united to kill them."

"But they are cunning by nature. They advance and retreat together with 12 people, and never give anyone a chance to encircle them. Therefore, there is nothing that righteous people can do against them."

"Until that time, there was a master named Feng Qingyang on Huashan Mountain, who chased down twelve evil spirits for more than [-] miles with his own power."

"And finally, when they let down their vigilance, they came out and fought these 12 people alone with their peerless swordsmanship."

When Lin Pingzhi heard Feng Qingyang's name, his heart moved, and he said: "Mr. Feng's swordsmanship has already been mastered, no matter how evil he is, he must be wiped out."

Xue Feng nodded and said: "These twelve evil spirits are all first-class masters. It sounds like today's Songshan School's thirteen Taibao, each of them has the strength of the head of the big school."

"But Mr. Feng's swordsmanship is really as good as what you said, Mr. Lin. With one sword against 12 people, he still has the upper hand and killed several people in an instant."

Lin Pingzhi said: "How many people were killed...Could it be possible that among the 12 people still survived?"

Xue Feng let out a long sigh and said, "I also hope that Mr. Feng can kill them all back then, but these twelve evil spirits are really too powerful, and the martial arts of a few of them are unimaginably high."

"With Mr. Feng's ability, he couldn't kill them all in one fell swoop. Especially Shen Ying, the golden bull among the 12, used his body to block Mr. Feng's seventeen sword strikes. The sword pierced through his body and still stood firm."

"The rest of the people saw Taurus stepping forward, risking their lives to bear the wind alone, old man, and hurriedly fled in all directions."

"When Mr. Feng killed the Taurus and Shen Ying wanted to chase them down again, it was already too late to chase them down one by one."

Lin Pingzhi changed his mind and said, "Could it be that these people in Qingfeng Town are the remnants of the twelve evil spirits back then?"

Xue Feng nodded, his eyes were a little dull: "I also searched for many years before I found them here."

"These people are originally from the north. After coming here for many years, they have already learned the local dialect. Many local people in Qingfeng Town think that they are born and raised in the local area."

Lin Pingzhi thought it's no wonder that the people he met recently seemed unusual, they turned out to be famous martial arts figures from the past.

He asked again: "Mr. Xue, but why are you looking for these twelve evil remnants?"

"I just heard that you said it was to seek revenge. What kind of enmity did you have with them?"

Xue Feng gritted his teeth and was about to speak, when the cold-faced Lang Jun Fang Lu next to him said rarely:
"Our hatred with these villains can be described as irreconcilable. These beasts were chased and killed by Mr. Feng Qingyang back then. They didn't have time to bring the family wealth they had accumulated over the years. When they fled, they were penniless."

"After they came to Qingfeng Town on the outskirts of Quanzhou, in order to continue to live a good life, they turned to the rich people in Quanzhou City and committed many crimes."

"It's just that they come to Quanzhou to learn how to behave, and they don't just do it themselves."

"I just colluded with a group of Jiangyang thieves. After the robbery, I killed these Jiangyang thieves as scapegoats, so no one in Jianghu knew that the twelve evil spirits came to Quanzhou again to commit crimes."

Speaking of this, the cold-faced gentleman was already trembling with anger, as if remembering something extremely annoying.

Xue Feng interjected: "The remnants of the twelve evil spirits are also afraid of being chased and killed by Mr. Feng. Some of them quit after committing a case, and open an inn in the town or something, and their lives are considered well-to-do."

"Although some were afraid, they still couldn't control them. They recruited many experts, and managed the black and white in Quanzhou City, and became the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Those people like them are great figures in the entire martial arts world. In this Quanzhou city, they are like dragons roaming the rivers and lakes. Although they are in the dark, they still control many lifelines of Quanzhou. They can be called the local emperors."

Lin Pingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Naturally, the surname of a peaceful person is Ma. This horse has nothing to pursue, but just likes to be cuckolded by his wife, so opening an inn is enough."

"As for the restless ones, is it a dragon and a pig? One of them seeks power and money, and the other purely seeks revenge for evil."

Xue Feng nodded and said: "Young master Lin guessed it. It's them. The twelve evil spirits are based on the twelve zodiac signs, and the twelve people correspond to the twelve zodiac signs."

"I found out in the past two years in Qingfeng Town that Wang Youcai's original name was Wang Long, and he is the Dragon King among the twelve evil spirits."

"The old horse in the old horse inn is the galloping horse among the twelve evil spirits, and his wife is a viper."

"As for the old Zhang Tou who has a vicious dog at home, it is Zhang Shan, a wild dog."

"That fat pig is Zhu Shuai, the plague pig."

"The evil these people have done in Quanzhou is beyond description. Our Xue family and Brother Fang's family have been ransacked by the twelve evil spirits. It can be said that the family has been destroyed."

"My grandfather and my father were at home that day and died on the spot. Afterwards, the government said that the people who killed them were a group of thieves."

"My family is from a family of martial arts. Although I am not a big figure in the Jianghu, it is impossible for my whole family to be killed by a few thieves anyway."

"Fortunately, I went out to study art and escaped unharmed, but my relatives were killed. I would rather be dead than alive."

After hearing what Xue Feng said, Lin Pingzhi said, "Brother Xue is so trustworthy that you even told me about such a life-and-death matter?"

Xue Feng said: "Mr. Lin is such a talented person that he will definitely not help the evildoers, so I tell you it's nothing serious."

"Of course, we definitely don't want Mr. Lin to help us out. We want to solve this kind of family feud by ourselves."

"We only found out in the past few days that these beasts in the town were the murderers who committed the crime back then. Now that we know, we will naturally try our best to take revenge."

"However, there is really no good way to take revenge. We can only take one step at a time."

"We told the young master about this, because we are afraid that something will happen to us in the future. At least there are still people in the world who know the true colors of these villains and beasts."

Lin Pingzhi seemed a little sleepy, yawned and said, "You two, although I am not a hero who helps the world and saves people, I can still meddle in other people's business."

"Since I've heard about this, I can't just sit idly by and help you get revenge after I sleep..."

Speaking of which Lin Pingzhi really seemed to be going to sleep, he lay down on the table and muttered in his mouth: "I thought I couldn't drink alcohol, but I can't drink tea either..."

Actually fell asleep.

Xue Feng and Fang Lu looked at each other, feeling very strange.

You can't get drunk by drinking tea anyway.

Although some people always say that tea can actually be intoxicating, when you drink too much tea, you will feel like drinking and getting drunk.

But Lin Pingzhi didn't drink a few cups of tea, so he wouldn't get drunk.

Just when Lin Pingzhi was drunk, a smile suddenly appeared in the eyes of the old horse who was silently wiping the table next to him.

It's a very smug smile.

When a person smiles like this, it means that he has done something very proud.

What did the old horse do to be proud of?

Although Xue Feng and Fang Lu didn't know what the old horse had done, when they noticed the old horse's smile, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.

Xue Feng said that the old horse might be one of the twelve evil spirits back then, his voice was extremely low, and he said it with his family's internal strength, except for the three people on the table, no one else could hear it.

But he still felt as if the old horse knew something.

Lao Ma came over with a smile and pushed Lin Pingzhi, as if he wanted to wake up a good friend of his.

But Lin Pingzhi didn't move at all, obviously he didn't mean to be woken up at all.

Then Lao Ma's prodigal daughter-in-law came out, with a coquettish smile on her face and a look of complacency in her eyes.

She glanced at Xue Feng, causing sweat to drip on his forehead, and then looked at the cold-faced Lang Jun Fanglu.

A handsome young man like the cold-faced gentleman is obviously very suitable for this "snake".

Regardless of her husband's presence, she sat on the cold-faced man's lap and said with a lewd smile: "It turns out there is such a handsome young man hiding in Wang Youcai's house. If I had known, I would have visited his house more often."

Fang Lu had a deep hatred for her, and he almost wanted to eat her flesh raw, how could he allow her to come and get close, and slapped this woman on the face with his palm.

The woman laughed aloud and said: "Young man has a big temper, but men have better tempers. This one from my family is just too honest and not fun at all."

"I just hope you can be so tempered in other things, don't let me down like this."

The cold-faced man Fang Lu raised his palm, but it stopped in mid-air and could not fall down.

It turned out that the woman had tapped his elbow lightly before his palm reached.

He was affected by this, half of his hand was numb, and he couldn't send out this palm again.

He could only stare at the woman angrily.

But he saw the door of the inn from the corner of his eyes, and the anger in his eyes turned a little pale.

It's even full of fear.

At the entrance of the inn, a man like a fat pig rolled in like a ball.

This man looked as if he was really bigger than the old fat pig.

Fortunately, the door of the inn is very wide, otherwise the fat pig might not be able to enter.

Such a fat person is undoubtedly ridiculous.

No matter who sees such a person on the road, he can't help but stop and take a few more glances.

Even if you don't make fun of it, you can't help but laugh a few times in your heart.

But when everyone in the store saw the fat pig coming in, they didn't even smile at all.

Especially when Xue Feng and Fang Lu saw this fat pig-like person, not only did they not smile, they were about to cry.

Because they know that this fat pig is not funny at all.

If anyone dares to laugh at this fat pig, he will probably never laugh again.

The fat pig seemed to struggle every inch of the way, panting, and had to stop to rest.

He walked for a long time before he walked from the entrance of the inn to the vicinity of Lin Pingzhi.

After taking a look at Lin Pingzhi, Fat Pig said, "Ecstasy tea from Baiyaomen?"

He spoke intermittently, with heavy breathing in between.

Hearing his question, the old horse quickly said: "Yes, this young master's swordsmanship is really too high, he can be regarded as the best."

"Hey, 20 taels of silver may not even be able to buy a little bit of tea foam in these 200 taels of tea. I spent [-] taels of gold to get these from the second elder of Baiyaomen."

Fat Pig nodded, and said: "Baiyaomen's top-quality drug, not to mention selling for 200 taels, even if it sells for 2000 taels, there are a lot of people trying to buy it."

He glanced at the woman sitting in the arms of the cold-faced gentleman, and said indifferently: "I'm not a good-looking person, and I don't like to watch such erotic scenes."

Hearing what he said, the woman hurriedly got out of the arms of the cold-faced gentleman, and the sensuality on her face subsided a little, and she said: "You have to taste this thing before you know how wonderful it is..."

Although she said something in response, she was still too afraid of the fat pig and did not dare to openly tease the man again.

Fat Pig casually pulled up a stool next to Lin Pingzhi and sat on it.

This stool is just a patchwork of ordinary wooden boards, even ordinary people sitting on it would not be stable, but a heavy body like a fat pig sat on it, but it was stable, and there was no intention of sitting on the stool.

The fat pig sat on the stool, not saying anything, just looking at the door.

After he came in, he seemed to be the master of the inn. Since he didn't speak, the rest of the people didn't dare to speak.

They all looked towards the door.

After a while, there were several barking sounds from outside the inn, and a vicious dog broke into the inn.

The vicious dog barked a few times and glared fiercely at the people in the inn, but when it saw the fat pig, it lowered its front paws, acting docile.

After all, he is a beast who reads words and looks, and knows who is not easy to mess with.

Now that the vicious dog has arrived, Zhang Shan, one of the twelve evil spirits nicknamed "Wild Dog", is of course also there.

Old Zhangtou held a pipe in his hand, smoked twice, coughed twice, pulled up a bench, sat down beside the fat pig, and nodded to a few old acquaintances in the inn as a greeting.

Fat Pig hummed lightly, and suddenly smiled and said to the outside: "Is it true that the richer a person is, the more afraid of death, Wang Long, if you don't come in, I will go to your house for dinner."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from outside, and a person slowly walked into the inn. It turned out to be Wang Youcai, the richest man in Qingfeng Town.

After Wang Youcai entered the inn, more than ten attendants followed suit and stood around the inn, leaving four guards at the door.

After Wang Youcai sat down, he said anxiously: "You must not come. Last time I came to my house, I ate all the royal rice that I had hoarded in my house for three years and I was unwilling to eat it. I also put it in my wine cellar. I drank all the good wine."

"I have pets such as Persian cats, Dongyang Shiba Inu, and parakeets in my family. They are all for you to try and kill."

"I beg you, don't go to my house again, I can do whatever you want me to do?"

The fat pig smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, a rich man like you is arty in everything, and the food is expensive and not expensive. When I go to your house for dinner, I can only eat [-]% full every time. I still eat big fish and meat every day." Happier."

"Master Wang, why do you have to bring so many guards with you every time you come out? Even if there are twice as many of these people, they are not as effective as your own Dragon Fist."

Wang Youcai sighed, and said, "Anyway, with a few more helpers, I will have more confidence in my heart."

Fat Pig said: "Our brothers are alone, but we never feel that we have no confidence."

Wang Youcai wanted to say something more, but Fat Pig's expression became serious.

When the pig stops laughing, it means that everything he says is important.

So no one else dared to speak anymore, waiting for this fat pig to speak.

Xu Feizhu said: "How to deal with these people? Lao Ma, it was you who administered the drug. You have the final say."

The old horse smiled and said: "Although I made the drug, but this idea was thought up by you brothers, of course I will follow your orders."

Xu Fat Zhu hummed, and said, "What do you think?"

Wang Youcai said: "The two servants in my family will naturally do it myself. I promise to do it neatly and there will be no mistakes."

"As for this Mr. Lin Pingzhi... Snake, you have always liked this, do you have any thoughts?"

The woman hurriedly said: "Master Wang, I can't find a man anywhere. No matter how good-looking these men are, how can they be as attractive as a rich man like you?"

"Besides, this young master is not an ordinary person. I don't dare to miss a big deal just because I feel pity for this little boy."

Xu Feizhu nodded and said: "Sister-in-law is right, she is indeed a person who understands the general situation. You said that this young man tried every means to find 'that person', is it really just because of the disappearance of the bodyguard as he said?"

At this time, the old Zhangtou flicked the cigarette ash, and said: "I heard from what he said, there is nothing suspicious, and the tone of the message is indeed the style of 'that person'."

Xu Fat Pig said: "So this young man really came here for the disappearance of the bodyguard. He just happened to come to our Qingfeng Town. It's not that he really wants to fight us."

Old Zhangtou nodded and said: "I think that's probably the case. Although this young man's swordsmanship is excellent, but his actions are full of willfulness... It doesn't seem like he came here with a premeditated plan to deal with us."

"It's been rumored recently that Lin Pingzhi, the young master of the Lin Family of the Fuwei Escort Bureau, drove away Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng School, and started the Escort Bureau business again."

"Although we really can't understand why a young man with such a high level of swordsmanship has started to walk darts, but in terms of how this young man behaves, it is indeed possible to do so."

Xu Fat Pig listened to what Old Zhang said, pondered for a while, then looked at Lao Ma and his wife and Wang Youcai one by one, and asked, "What do you think?"

The old horse said: "Old Mr. Zhang is right. Mr. Lin has lived with us for a few days. He is indeed a young man who acts casually. He said that he came to investigate for the bodyguard. I also believe it."

The woman also said: "My husband is right, and I agree with that."

Wang Youcai sneered, and said, "Hey, there are no truly casual people in this world. It's just that everyone's pursuit is different. Isn't it because of fame and fortune that this young man wants to be a big bodyguard?"

Xu Fat Zhu continued to look at him.

Wang Youcai snorted and said, "However, I don't think this young man is here for us. Otherwise, with his sword skills, it wouldn't be difficult to kill us these days."

Xu Fat Pig waited for everyone to express their opinions, nodded, and said slowly: "Since everyone thinks so, then I have to ask brothers and sisters-in-law to make a decision."

"It's just pretending that nothing happened, and let this son continue to investigate - anyway, the missing bodyguard is not a master, so let him investigate..."

"Is it better to kill this son-in-law with one sword, and save trouble once it's done?"
