The whole division is begging for my forgiveness

But only a moment later, the two of them looked away again.

Xiaojing clenched his fists subconsciously, and pursed his thin lips slightly.

It's this feeling again.

It was the same feeling again.

He always felt that this Chen Yulong seemed familiar.

Every time the eyes meet inadvertently, Xiaojing always thinks of someone involuntarily.

That person once said that he would never come to disturb his life again.

But obviously the face and body shape are completely different, how could it be the same person?

Xiaojing didn't trust Yue Wuchen that much, but he felt that Yue Wuchen was the suzerain of Wuji Dao Sect.

Words should be counted, if a suzerain can't promise a thousand gold, how can the world be convinced?

Yue Wuchen had clearly promised before that he would not disturb Xiaojing's life again.

No matter what difficulties Xiaojing encountered along the way, no one came forward to disturb him.

Xiaojing originally thought that to him, Lin Jinghong and others were just strangers who met by chance, just a sudden nightmare.

After leaving Nanyang, the nightmare completely dissipated like a dark cloud overhead.

However, Xiaojing is always worrying about gains and losses, suspicious and unable to return to a normal life.

While everyone was looking at Chen Yougen, Xiao Jing secretly took a look at Chen Yulong.

Seeing that Chen Yulong didn't look over again, the eyes that met just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Then I heard Chen Yulong ask: "You said that your wife has a problem with her behavior. Do you have evidence?"

Chen Yougen started to hem and haw again, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers spit again.

"Bah! Shameless bastard! You have the nerve to slander Gui Fen because of your dishonest behavior?"

"Shameless thing! You won't even let your own wife and children go! You should chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

"Don't talk nonsense! My dog ​​won't eat this animal!"

"What an embarrassment to the Chen family village!"

"Deer deserves it!"

……

Yue Wuchen felt a little pain in his head when he heard it, and he knew that Xiaojing had been watching him quietly all the time.

He could only pretend that he didn't know anything, and tried not to have any close contact with Xiaojing.

Seeing Chen Yougen like this, Yue Wuchen guessed that when this person murdered his wife, he might have been in a state of insanity.

Often the memory of the dead is very limited, and they can only remember the things that made them most nostalgic, most difficult to let go, or frightened.

Obviously, in terms of killing his wife, for Chen Yougen, it was not the most difficult thing to let go of during his lifetime.

Yue Wuchen turned to ask again: "Why did you kill your mother?"

This time Chen Youlong was even more confused, and his expression was very dazed.

As if he didn't remember the details of his previous murder, under Yue Wuchen's pressing step by step, he slowly uttered a sentence: "I don't know, but she deserves to die."

Then there will be no further text.

Of course, although according to the people of Chenjia Village, Chen Yougen's old lady has a bad character, dominates the village, and treats her daughter-in-law harshly.

But whether he should die or not, what Chen Yougen said didn't count.

Tiger poison does not eat children, and child poison does not kill mother, Chen Yougen killed his mother, wife and son, he deserves death.

Yue Wuchen saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, and with a wave of his sleeve, Chen Yougen's soul turned into a wisp of green smoke, which was scattered with the wind.

It's really a ghost, and there is no afterlife.

Killing his wife, son and mother, this person is not worthy of reincarnation.

"Daoist, what about Chen Yougen's body? There is no proof of death, and we can't do business when we return to the yamen."

Several officials began to scratch their heads, and said with a mournful face, "Master, to tell you the truth, the county magistrate of our yamen doesn't believe in ghosts and snake spirits. If the county magistrate heard it with his own ears, Chen Yougen pleaded guilty, and the previous two murders would have to be done." Treat it as an unsolved case."

"If it is treated as an unsolved case, then according to the rules of the Yamen, the two corpses must be parked in Yizhuang, and they will be guarded by special people. They will be buried in the ground when the evidence is convincing. If there is no evidence, then the corpses will be parked. A year and a half is possible."

When Xiaojing heard it, how could this work?

Forget about Chen Yougen's old lady, anyway, they've all been chopped up into that ghostly virtue, and she's not a good person, so stop Yizhuang if you stop at Yizhuang.

But Gui Fen died for no reason and did not commit any evil deeds, it is already very pitiful, if she cannot be buried in the ground after death, wouldn't it be even more pitiful?

Xiao Jing felt sorry for Gui Fen, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Chen Yulong when she heard this.

I don't know why I went to see Chen Yulong, but I subconsciously looked up at him anyway.

Then I heard Chen Yulong say: "I don't know the rules of your world, but if you say it like that, I will go to the Yamen with you later."

After a pause, he continued: "Chen Yougen's body can no longer be kept. His body is stained with resentment, and his body is soaked in the blood of a black dog. After being exposed to the moonlight, he may turn into a walking corpse. It is best to burn it on the spot."

This is also a safer way to deal with the walking dead, burning the corpse to ashes, even if the grievances linger for a long time.It is also impossible to kill a dead body.

After the villagers listened, a large group of people hurried to work.

They went back to each house to hold some thatch, and brought some firewood over, and piled it up high to form a small hill.

Several young and strong villagers rolled up their sleeves, spat into the palms of their hands, and beckoned to the people next to them to carry Chen Yougen's body up and burn it.

Then, Yue Wuchen saw with his own eyes that Xiaojing raised his right hand, then stared at the palm of his hand, and his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to imitate those villagers and spit into the palm of his hand.

Immediately, Yue Wuchen frowned fiercely, subconsciously snorted from behind: "Ah Xuan!"

Xiaojing was so frightened that he trembled all over, and turned around trembling.

Under the night, those black and white eyes, reflected by the fire, shone brightly, clean and clear like glazed beads.

"What's wrong, Brother Yulong?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask you, are you cold?"

When Yue Wuchen asked this question, he suddenly thought of a question.

That is, although he is "Chen Yulong" now, he is still wearing the Taoist robe of the Wuji Taoist Sect.

But Wuji Taoism has sect rules, such as life sword, Taoist hairpin, Taoist robe, dust whisk, etc., those who are not the closest people are not allowed to touch them at will.

This kind of touch means that it cannot be borrowed.

I think that before Lin Jing was tortured, he would take off his outer robe first, fold it neatly, and then remove the hairpin.

He refused to let the outer robe and Taoist hairpin get a little bit dirty.

But later... Lin Jing's Taoist robe was still dirty.

It was covered with blood and dust.

There is also Lin Jing's Taoist hairpin, which was once knocked to the ground.

Lin Jing didn't care about anything else, he rushed over and held the hairpin in his hand, refusing to let others touch it.

Yue Wuchen once searched for a whole night in the snow with a lantern, but he couldn't find Lin Jing's hairpin.

I don't know, after Lin Jing's death, Dao's hairpin was taken away by a crow, or by someone with a heart.

He didn't keep Lin Jing, nor did he keep Lin Jing's hairpin.

"I'm not cold, Brother Yulong."

After Xiaojing finished speaking, a gust of wind blew out of nowhere, blowing the fires lit by the villagers into all directions.

The wind helped the fire, and it soon burned half the sky red.

And Xiao Jing also sneezed loudly, the night wind in the mountains was still very cold, and his hands were icy cold.

"You still say it's not cold? Your lips are blue."

Yue Wuchen said so, but he couldn't get over the barrier in his heart.

Those who are not the closest ones are not allowed to lend Taoist robes to others.

Even though he and Xiao Jing used to have a master-student relationship.

But it's just the master-student relationship, and it doesn't go beyond the master-student relationship.

Xiao Jing raised his eyes, thinking that Chen Yulong wanted to take off his Taoist robe and put it on for himself, so he was just about to refuse.

But it was discovered that Brother Chen had no intention of taking off the Taoist robe and putting it on him.

Then he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Huh? Ah Xuan, are you cold? Come on, wear my clothes!"

Seeing this, a young guy next to him took off his shirt without saying a word, handed the warm clothes to Xiao Jing's eyes, and said with a simple smile: "You are born weak, not like a farmer like us. , I’ve been skinny since I was a child, don’t think it’s summer, but the wind in the mountains is still very cold, you hurry up and put it on, don’t freeze it, otherwise Erhu Niang will know, and it’s time to blame us for not taking care of you!”

Xiao Jing was slightly taken aback at first, he is not very good at rejecting other people's kindness.

And he also knew that the people in Chen Family Village didn't have the slightest malice towards him.

So he went to pick it up with both hands, and Xiaojing thanked him very politely.

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the clothes, an arm came across from the side.

The clothes were blocked directly.

"Tsk, Yulong, what do you mean? I've been watching you for a long time, and you just ask Ah Xuan if it's cold, so what's the use? I don't see you taking off your clothes and putting them on for him. I'll take off my clothes and put them on for him. Why aren't you happy?"

Xiaojing also raised his head in response, and looked at Chen Yulong in puzzlement.

"I'm not unhappy, it's just that I'm a cultivator, and my body and bones are more resistant to cold than ordinary people, so..."

Yue Wuchen grabbed his collar with one hand, swished, and pulled off his robe without hesitation.

Then put it on Xiaojing's body, Yue Wuchen let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I'm worried that you will also be frozen, so let Ah Xuan wear mine."

In this way, the villager smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Xiaojing grabbed the Taoist robe on his body and was slightly taken aback.

Then I smelled a faint fragrance of Jiangzhen.

I don't know if every Taoist priest has this kind of smell. Xiaojing once smelled this kind of smell on Luo Suxuan, Yue Wuchen.

There are also hints of crisp cedar.

Xiaojing felt inexplicably familiar with this smell, and felt at ease, but also a little apprehensive.

There is always a kind, his head is under the bright sun, but his body is hanging on the cliff.

The heart is always floating.

Glancing quietly at Chen Yulong beside him, Xiao Jing realized that he was not looking at her.

Instead, he was looking at the flames soaring into the sky in front of him.

It seemed that putting on clothes for him just now was just a trivial matter.

Brother Chen should treat him like a younger brother like Erhuzi.

Other than that, there was no other emotion at all.

After Xiaojing thought it over, he wrapped the Taoist robe tightly.

When he regained his composure, the fire gradually extinguished.

A few villagers took iron rakes and went up to rummage to see if there were any bones or something that hadn't been burned to ashes. If there were any, they should crush them quickly while the bones were still brittle.

Although it is said that Chen Yougen deserved what he deserved, it is not easy to let his ashes be left alone.

People's crimes are scattered, and they are all dead, so it's not easy to take his ashes out to vent their anger.

Several villagers who were a little close to Chen Yougen's family took a small earthen jar and put plant ash and Chen Yougen's ashes into it.

I plan to go back and find a place to bury the columbarium.

In order to prevent Chen Yougen from living uneasy after his death, the villagers were very cautious and asked Chen Yulong for a yellow talisman to suppress the dead.

Yue Wuchen had already dispersed Chen Yougen's soul in the ancestral hall, but in order to reassure everyone, he gave them a yellow talisman.

After finishing these, the night became darker, and it was three quarters past midnight.

Several officials shoved each other, pushed one of them over, and said, "Master Dao, it's like this. Five waves of people went up to the lonely mountain before, but they never came down. We are all ordinary people, and we are quite afraid." What ghosts and ghosts. I wonder if the chief can go up the mountain for us and bring back those five waves of people?"

Yue Wuchen said: "Yes."

But he changed the subject and asked again: "Didn't you say earlier that you didn't send people to search the mountain?"

This is what Erhu's father said, saying that the officials did not plan to search the mountains.

"Yes, at the beginning, I let two people walk around at the foot of the mountain, but they didn't come back after they went there, and then three people went to find those two people, but they didn't come back, so I kept sending people out to look for them... ..."

When the officials talked about this, they were quite embarrassed. They sent people up the mountain wave after wave, but none of them came back.

"Now five waves of people have gone, all of them are government servants, a total of 27 people, and I hope the Taoist priest will help and bring them back."

"Basically, they are the pillars of the family. If they die in the mountains for no reason, the sky above their families will collapse."

Yue Wuchen didn't say no, so he thought about sending Xiaojing and Erhu's father home first.

Then it's good to search the mountains by yourself.

But the father of the two tigers quit, and the officials did not believe in ghosts and ghosts, but it did not mean that the farmers did not believe in them.

The father of the two tigers has been looking forward to it for ten years, and finally hoped for the eldest son to come back. He absolutely does not want the eldest son to make any mistakes.

What's more, the eldest son has been away from home for too long, and he is not familiar with the roads in the mountains at all. If he encounters any danger, he doesn't even have anyone to help him.

So he insisted on searching the mountains together.

Seeing this, the rest of the villagers also expressed their willingness to search the mountains together. The strength of a large number of people is better than searching alone.

Xiao Jing also said: "I'm going too, I want to do something for everyone, I'm not afraid of evil spirits, I'm not afraid of death, and someone taught me how to deal with evil spirits before!"

This is not nonsense, Luo Suxuan had nothing to do before, so he popularized the characteristics of evil spirits with him.

He also told Xiaojing what kind of evil is the best to manipulate.

Where is the most yin, anyway, some are gone, so I taught it in a mess.

Therefore, Xiaojing thinks he knows better than the villagers of Chenjia Village.

The most important thing is that Xiao Jing is not afraid of death, and he dares to rush over when encountering danger.

Yue Wuchen saw that everyone was so persistent, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that nothing would happen under his nose.

They agreed to search the mountains together.

Holding torches and hoes, all the people walked up the mountain in a hurry.

The flames quickly became one piece after another.

Xiaojing followed Chen Yulong step by step, walking in the front of the team.

He had walked this mountain road once before, it was too winding, and it was midnight now.

Even with a torch to illuminate, it still can't take into account the environment in all directions.

Yue Wuchen didn't smell any ghosts around him, and he didn't see Gui Fen's ghost as the villagers said.

Most of his attention fell on Xiaojing.

Seeing Xiaojing holding a torch in one hand, and a stick in the other - the stick was given by Er Hu's father, who said he saw something dirty, so he just went up with two sticks without saying a word.

He also said that Ah Xuan had never done anything evil, and that he was a boy, with a shiny forehead and full of yang energy, so that evil spirits would not dare to get close to him when he was idle.

When Yue Wuchen heard Erhu's father say that Xiaojing was still a child, he was slightly taken aback.

According to what he heard from Lin Mobai, Chang Xuan had a very bad reputation in Nanyang, and many men came and went in and out of his room since he was a child.

The mother used to be an unrecognizable singer. After marrying into the Chang family, she had no name, no title, and a child with her.

In short, Chang Xuan was very unbearable, very unbearable.

It's not easy for Yue Wuchen to check whether Xiaojing is a boy.

And he doesn't care how unbearable Xiaojing's current status is.

On the contrary, the more she knows Xiaojing's current status is unbearable.The more dust-free, the more unbearable the heartache.

Because, Xiaojing's unbearable situation is not Xiaojing's fault.

It was clearly them who pulled Lin Jing, a high-ranking Taoist disciple, down from the altar with his own hands.

The greater the contrast between Lin Jing and Xiao Jing, the deeper their sins.

Yue Wuchen could tell that Xiaojing was very happy in Chenjiacun.

Here, no one knows Xiaojing, and no one knows his past.

Everyone treats him equally and will not blame and make fun of Xiaojing.

Perhaps, this is the stable life that Xiaojing is looking forward to in this life.

But how long can this stability last?

What if Xiaojing loses this stable life one day?

The more dust-free it is unknown.

I only hope that Xiaojing will not regain his memory, and will be happy forever, no longer burdened by the past life, and will not be happy for the rest of his life.

Xiao Jing clenched the stick in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and was ready to swing the stick at any time.

After walking forward for a while, the grass was left dripping with blood.

Erhu's father said, "Is this human blood?"

Yue Wuchen bent over and pointed his fingers, the blood was still a little bit warm, it seemed that the injured did not go too far.

Following the blood trail, everyone found a cave.

The entrance of the cave was covered by weeds, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.

But the bloodstains were cut off here.

"I've been to this cave before, but it's too dark inside, and there are often footprints of wild animals outside, so no one dares to go in!"

As if to verify this sentence, someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Everyone, look! There is a footprint here!"

Everyone looked along the source of the sound, and saw that there was indeed a footprint on the slightly damp ground.

But this footprint is definitely not that of a normal person.

In terms of preparation, it should be paw prints.

More than twice the size of a human footprint.

The sinking is very deep, and it is conceivable that the thing that left this mark is huge.

"I'll go in and have a look myself, so you don't have to go."

Yue Wuchen turned around and said to the crowd, quickly formed seals with his hands, and set up a barrier around him, he said again: "Before I come back, you can rest here."

Er Hu's father asked, "Hey? Dalong, why don't you tell me, don't let us walk around carelessly?"

Yue Wuchen took the torch and said seriously: "You can't get out of the barrier I set up."

In other words, no matter how the villagers ran around, they couldn't get out of the barrier anyway.

The evil spirits outside the barrier couldn't get in, as long as they weren't the kind of cowardly people who would be scared to death at the slightest sign of trouble.

Basically no problems.

Everyone's safety is protected from the source.

Xiao Jing once again felt that Chen Yulong was very reliable, and once again thought that Chen Yulong was not simple.

Xiaojing had been with Luo Suxuan for a while before, a powerful Taoist priest like Luo Suxuan couldn't set up a barrier as easily as Chen Yulong.

Could it be that the outer disciples of the Wuji Dao Sect are more powerful than the first-hand disciples like Shen Qingyuan?

The name in my heart is about to come out.

But Xiaojing didn't want to blame the good guy.

Yue Wuchen turned around and was about to enter the cave when someone grabbed his sleeve from behind.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiaojing.

"what happened?"

"Brother Yulong, I...I want to go in with you."

Xiao Jing pursed her lips, and raised the wooden stick in her hand seriously, "I won't drag you down, I can protect myself, let me go in with you, okay?"

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether Chen Yulong would use a sword later.

Yue Wuchen's blade was shining brightly, brighter than the stars in the sky.

The swords used by Luo Suxuan, Shen Qingyuan, Lin Mobai, including Lin Jinghong are different.

The sword blades used by several of them and the sword light emitted are different.

From this, Xiaojing deduced that the magical artifacts belonged to the owner.

As long as Chen Yulong draws his sword, Xiao Jing can immediately recognize whether he is Yue Wuchen or not.

If it is true that Yue Wuchen pretends to be Chen Yulong and comes to deceive him.

Then Xiaojing will never believe in Yue Wuchen again in this life, and will never believe anything he said again.

Yue Wuchen stared deeply at Xiaojing's face, watching him tugging at his sleeve.

Lin Jing's face once again appeared in his mind.

And slowly, Lin Jing's face overlapped with Xiao Jing's.

It has been a long time, and no one dared to tug on his sleeve like this.

Lin Jing only dared to reach out and tug at his sleeve when he was young, when Yue Wuchen looked down at him.

He would stand on tiptoe, stretch out his arms, and say in a childish voice: "Master, I want a hug."

But later, Lin Jing tugged at his sleeve for the last time, after Yue Wuchen crippled his seventeen swords.

That scene is still vivid to this day.

Every time he dreamed back at midnight, Yue Wuchen could recall that Lin Jing was covered in blood, struggling to crawl on the ground.

Little by little, he climbed over the steps and reached his feet, struggling to pull on Yue Wuchen's robe, and begged sadly, "Master, don't drive the disciple out of the school, Master!"

Yue Wuchen let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He likes to see Xiao Jing relying on him very much, as if he has returned to the time when Lin Jing was young.

"Okay, then you follow closely, you understand?"

Xiao Jing nodded, looking very obedient: "Okay, I won't run around, and I won't cause trouble for Brother Yulong."

Yue Wuchen really wants to say, Xiaojing is not troublesome, Xiaojing never gives him trouble.

Xiaojing is very good, very obedient, and never runs around.

He even hoped that Xiaojing would cause him some trouble, so that he would have a chance to make up for Xiaojing slowly.

But no, Xiao Jing said that if he didn't cause him any trouble, he wouldn't cause him any trouble.

He didn't even give them a chance to make amends, and Xiaojing didn't accept, forgive, or make noise.

Still wanting nothing.

This made Yue Wuchen feel very headache.

Yue Wuchen was afraid that Xiaojing would get lost, so he really wanted to hold his hand.

It's like when Lin Jing was just learning to walk.

Yue Wuchen was afraid that Xiao Linjing would fall, so he would hold his two chubby, white and tender hands.

While praising Xiao Linjing for being awesome, he slowly led him away.

Although these are all behind people, in front of people, Yue Wuchen is actually stingy even with a hug.

The cave was very deep and dark, and the inside was still very humid, the air was not circulating, and there was a stench everywhere.

Yue Wuchen frowned, and touched Xiaojing's hand several times with his empty hand.

But they just didn't take the initiative to hold on.

And Xiaojing didn't intend to hold his hand, and used the stick as a crutch to walk steadily.

"This cave looks very deep and long, and the air is gradually thinning. If you stay in such a place for a while, you should faint because of the lack of air circulation?"

Xiaojing suddenly raised his head and asked, "If you yell again, you will faint faster, right?"

"Ah."

Only then did Yue Wuchen come back to his senses. After getting along with him for a while, he found that Xiaojing was not the fool that others said.

Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very calm when things happen, and has his own thinking. It is difficult for others to change Xiaojing's thinking.

At this point, Xiaojing is much better than many people who listen to the wind and rain.

"That being the case, it should be useless for us to yell."

Xiao Jing quickly came to a conclusion, picked up the stick in his hand, and tapped regularly on the left and right stone walls, "Knock two short and one long, so that if there are people in the cave and they are still conscious, they will definitely respond to us." .”

"If no one responds, then we can only go to the end, which will waste time, but it is better to find them by mistake than not to find them. Their lives are the most important thing."

Yue Wuchen said: "Well, what else?"

"And...what else?" Xiaojing raised his head and asked, "I can't think of anything, Brother Yulong."

"It's okay, you are right, very good, then I trouble you to knock on the stone wall."

Yue Wuchen has no objection to Xiaojing's seemingly stupid method, and is willing to try it with Xiaojing.

Head to Xiaojing, walking forward while beating the stone wall rhythmically.

And after walking not far, I met a fork in the road.

There are three forked roads. If two people walk at the same time, one by one, it will take more time.

But if they were separated, Yue Wuchen would be more worried about Xiaojing's safety.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "click, click" in the distance, like a stone hitting a stone wall.

Xiao Jing hurriedly stopped, carefully identified, and really heard two long and one short echoes.

His method worked!

Someone really is responding to him!

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and he quickly knocked a few more times in response.

Now you don't have to worry about choosing the wrong way, just follow the source of the sound.

Yue Wuchen also praised him in a timely manner: "Ah Xuan, you did a good job."

This is also what he said to Lin Jing at the beginning.

When Lin Jing was a child, he participated in the trials of the sect many times and achieved excellent results, standing out among the disciples in the sect.

Every time he looked at Yue Wuchen expectantly, hoping to get Master's approval and praise.

Yue Wuchen just nodded indifferently, telling him not to slack off, but to practice diligently.

But now, Yue Wuchen just wanted to make up for what he owed Lin Jing bit by bit.

Even these are insignificant to Xiaojing now.

The author has something to say:
