Killed 99 times

Xue Buji nodded, thinking of the two deaf-mute servants who lost their arms, he couldn't help asking Feng Shangqing, "Where are Uncle Gengzi and Uncle Guimao now? I heard that they each died because of me." An arm."

Feng Shangqing said coldly: "Buji, you don't need to feel sorry for them. They were not good things in the first place, but I kept their lives useful, so I didn't kill them. They usually act sloppily in Qingyuan outside the cloud I told them to take good care of you, but they could even look down on you, if it wasn't for the Zen Zen in the sky to protect you, Master might never see you in this lifetime."

Xue Buji recalled the memory of that scene when he was young, and asked: "Master, is it related to me that you keep him?"

Feng Shangqing was a little surprised and didn't answer for a while.Bian Congbai glanced at Xue Buji, then met Feng Shangqing's eyes, with hesitation on his face.

Xue Buji saw that their faces were different, he knew that these two people must be related to him, he couldn't find out if he asked them, so he could only ask: "Where are they now?"

"My fifth brother and I wanted to follow Situ Ying, so we left them in the city."

Xue Buji nodded, and had decided to find Gengzi deaf and Guimaoya when they left here, and ask them clearly.

The four of them agreed, and were about to leave together, Xue Buji stretched out his hand on the ground for support, and was about to get up, but he pressed his palm against something hard, which made his palm ache.

He lifted the thing up and took a look, it was a bone.

He thought it was some kind of bone from a bird or beast, and just about to throw it away, he lowered his head to look, but saw a few bones not far away, a skull in the grass, shining with a cold luster under the moonlight.

Xue Buji was taken aback immediately, and looked at Master and Fifth Uncle Bian.Bian Cong Bai walked over, poked those bones with his sword, and pulled out some pieces of cloth and hair from the mud. Judging from the degree of corruption of the hair, he said, "This man has been dead for 20 years."

Xue Buji sighed: "Why did this person die here? How did he die?"

Bian picked up the bone from Bai, looked at the traces left on the bone, and deduced: "He was killed here. Although there are some traces of beasts gnawing on this bone, they were all after his death." chewed."

Xue Buji dug out some bones from the ground and put them together with the ones Bian Congbai found to form a human figure.This appeared to be a man eight feet tall, who died in the prime of his life.And judging from the state of his bones, this man is also a master of body tempering.

"20 years ago?" Feng Shangqing remembered something, and looked around the bones of the four people's lower limbs: "Could it be him?"

Xue Buji became interested and asked, "Master, do you know who this dead man is?"

Bian Congbai stared at the skeleton made of bones on the ground. After looking at it for a long while, he pondered: "The original lord of Jiushan City was surnamed Zhang and his name was Qinzhi. We also met him once, and we have a good impression of him. He is a straightforward and straightforward man. However, he died suddenly 20 years ago, and his big apprentice, Liu Bancheng, took over as the city lord."

Feng Shangqing said: "Zhang Qinzhi was born with a slightly shorter left foot than his right foot, so he is crippled."

The eyes of several people couldn't help but focus on the dead man's legs. The bones of the left leg were indeed shorter than the right leg.Xue Buji asked in surprise: "Could this be City Lord Zhang? Didn't he die of illness? Why did he die in the mountains?"

Thinking about Liu Bancheng's appearance of hiding a knife in his smile, the answer is almost ready to come out.I don't know if the Master Liuxiu was involved in the treason and injustice that killed Master.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the forest.The four of them looked at each other, and at the same time raised their breath and jumped slightly, each of them hid.

Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi unexpectedly hid in the same tree together.It was a bit crowded in this way, Jiang Haixi stretched out his hand and put his arms around Xue Buji's shoulders, Xue Buji subconsciously retreated to the side, and Jiang Haixi hugged him, blinked at him, and signaled him not to move.

The two breathed intertwined, and they were close to each other, Xue Buji blushed again.

Under the tree, two figures ran out of the woods, one in front and one behind, it was the real Liuxiu and Jiang Jiao.

Jiang Jiao was in front, looked around, saw nothing unusual, turned to Master Liuxiu and said, "Master, I didn't see those two evil stars, come here."

Only then did Master Liuxiu come over, and he walked from the shadows to the moonlight, Xue Buji saw him in a mess, it seemed that Feng Shangqing had chased him before, although he escaped by chance, but Feng Shangqing The rectification is not light.

Master Liuxiu sat down on the open space, took the medicine for internal injuries, and said to Jiang Jiao, "Master, you need to meditate to recuperate your inner body, and you will watch the wind for Master."

Jiang Jiao nodded yes.He glanced around and saw the human skeleton on the ground. He frowned, thought about it, and called out in feigned surprise: "Master! Come and see!"

Master Liuxiu had no choice but to stand up, showing displeasure on his face, and reprimanded him as he walked over, "What are you making such a fuss about?"

When he got closer, he saw the white bone on the ground, his face turned pale, and all blood disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Jiao looked at his face, lowered his eyes, covering his cunning eyes, and pretended to be shocked: "Master, why is there a bone here?"

"This is the hinterland of the mountains and forests, so it's strange to have a dead person." Master Liuxiu forced himself to be calm and said coldly.

"Although this Jiushan City is built in the mountains, it is actually surrounded by people. The beasts in the mountains should have been driven away by the crowd. Moreover, this hinterland is regarded as a natural secret room of the city lord's mansion. As long as there are no wings, the people inside will Can't fly out, and people outside can't come in. This person died here, there must be something strange." Jiang Jiao squatted beside the bones, as if he didn't see the paler face of Master Liuxiu, and continued to analyze: "And this person Although there are traces of wild beasts biting on his bones, there are also many scars left by weapons and sharp weapons. I think he was killed by someone. Master, what do you think?"

Master Liuxiu stepped aside, sat cross-legged in meditation, and said indifferently, "My good disciple, you are being put in charge of things you shouldn't be in charge of."

Jiang Jiao turned his back to Master Liuxiu, but faced Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi.He smiled cunningly, grabbed the two leg bones of the corpse, walked up to Master Liuxiu, and called Master.

Master Liuxiu opened his eyes, and suddenly saw these two white leg bones, he was startled all over, became angry from shame, and cursed: "You son of a bitch, what are you doing with these dead bones in your arms?!"

"Master, don't blame me. The disciple saw that this man's bones were a little strange, so he specially showed them to Master." Jiang Jiao took a step back and held up the leg bone in his hand: "Master, take a look, we martial arts practitioners, because Tempering the body with spiritual energy, so the bones are different from ordinary people's bones. This leg bone is crystal clear and white, obviously a senior who has accomplished body tempering. And Master, look at his leg bone, the left leg is broken than the right leg A cut!"

Every time he said a word, Master Liuxiu's face turned paler, and when he said that his left leg was more severe than his right leg, Master Liuxiu looked like a dead man, completely gone from his former arrogance.

"I remember, the master's leg is also shorter than the right leg!" Jiang Jiao's face turned pale, and he looked extremely shocked: "Could it be...Could this be..."

He hastily put down the two leg bones, joined them together with the skeleton, knelt down respectfully and bowed his head three times, and murmured: "Grandfather, I have offended you so much just now, please forgive me. It’s just that you died of illness back then? Why did you expose your corpse here? After all these years, there’s not even a single person to collect your corpse.”

He pretended to shed a few tears, and said sobbingly: "Grandfather, it seems that you didn't die of illness, but were killed by others. Tell me, who is the person who killed you? Master will definitely avenge you!"

He turned around, hugged Master Liuxiu's leg, and shouted: "Master, do you think so?"

Master Liuxiu's face was pale and blue, he glanced at Jiang Jiao, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and asked, "What is it?"

"Master, you see that Grandpa Shizu died tragically here. We didn't know it for so many years. Today, by chance, Grandpa Shizu will see the light of day again. You must avenge him!"

Master Liuxiu's eyes twitched nervously, reluctantly said: "How can we avenge him? We don't know who killed Master."

Jiang Jiao suddenly stood up and looked at Master Liuxiu: "Master, I know who killed Grandpa Master."

Clouds floated over, the moonlight was covered, and Jiang Jiao's eyes revealed a strange brilliance in the shadow of the starry night.Immortal Liuxiu was startled, and then the sea of ​​qi rose with a bit of pain, and his legs felt a little weak.

Feeling the pain, he broke out in a cold sweat, could it be the medicine he took just now...

Jiang Jiao took a step closer and asked, "Master, why don't you ask who killed Master Grandpa?"

Master Liuxiu reluctantly asked, "Who is it?"

His voice was hoarse and hoarse, and he couldn't help but ask this question, as if he already knew the answer and didn't need Jiang Jiao to say anything more.

"It's Master Liu." Jiang Jiao smiled, turned around, turned his back to Master Liuxiu, and said respectfully to the corpse, "Grandfather, I know it must be Master Liu who killed you." , and killed your own son, Junior Martial Uncle Zhang Yun, because he wanted to be the city lord."

Master Liuxiu was terrified, he had murderous thoughts in his heart, but his whole body was as stiff as iron, the swelling pain from the sea of ​​qi went straight to his limbs and bones, making it difficult for him to even move his fingers.

Jiang Jiao made a gesture, shook his head and sighed, then turned around and asked Master Liuxiu, without any respect for Master in his tone: "Master, am I right?"

Master Liuxiu said dully, "How do I know..."

Jiang Jiao shook his shoulders and smiled: "How come you don't know. Master, grandpa is very skilled in martial arts, even if Master Liu was caught by surprise, he might not be able to kill him. Master Liu must have a helper, This person is you."

Master Liuxiu bluffed and shouted loudly: "What bullshit are you talking about! You are treasonous! Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors! You said that senior brother Liu killed my master and junior brother for the sake of being the city lord, so why should I help him? ?”

Jiang Jiao took two steps back and walked up to the bones: "Grandfather, look, the real treason, the person who deceived the master and exterminated the ancestors is standing here, and he still has the face to accuse me. This bully and exterminates the ancestors It is of course profitable for the madman and his senior brother to kill you. Because you are not only the lord of Jiushan City, but also a member of the Holy Cult. According to the rules of the Holy Cult, if you want to join the Holy Cult, you have to kill an old member. Only then can you replace it. This lunatic and senior brother joined forces to kill you and replace you, thinking that what he did was flawless."

Jiang Haixi held his breath and looked at the two without blinking.Xue Buji glanced at him and thought, it was terrible to use such cruel means to join the so-called Holy Cult.But Yuan Ce was killed by me, didn't I already have a nomination certificate, and I can replace him?

The real Liuxiu in the field was about to faint at this moment. He looked at Jiang Jiao, widened his eyes in horror, and asked with difficulty, "You...how did you know that!"

Jiang Jiao was confident, calm and unhurried: "Of course... the dead told me!"
