Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 105 The First Cicada
In summer, just after Si time, the sky is already bright, and the slightly warm sunlight shines on Zijin Mountain. On the low slope near the inner city wall, there is a village surnamed Yang. There are about ten families who have been farming for generations. Cultivate a field and plant some fruit trees such as loquat, red bayberry, and red peach.

A few days ago, in Yangjia Village, the yard of a farmer suddenly sank into the ground. Fortunately, the family was farming outside at that time and no one was hurt.People in the village thought that the war was about to touch the dragon veins in Nanjing, so they hurried to the Chaotian Palace on Zijin Mountain to ask the celestial masters from the imperial Taoist temple to investigate.

The people in the village said it was mysterious, combined with current events, and it was related to the dragon's veins. Jiang Zifu, the master of the temple, did not dare to neglect, and personally led a few proud disciples to come together. He happened to see the most powerful Huweiying under Zheng and Shi's men coming out of the depression. climb out.

Jiang Zifu and his disciples were arrested on the spot. In order to keep their secrets, they were taken into the capital city by the Huwei camp and temporarily locked up.

The celestial masters in the Chaotian temple often help the nearby villagers to do some rituals. The villagers are hospitable and hospitable. Every time they enter the village, the seven aunts and eight aunts of the whole village must be dispatched together to ask about the fortune of marriage and Feng Shui. Don't think about returning to the temple after waiting for three or four days.

Therefore, the Taoist priests in the Chaotian Temple think that it is a trivial matter that the master of the temple has not returned for several days, and they don't take it seriously.It just so happened that the concubine Mo Qingshan, who was rumored to be pregnant with the real dragon sage, came to live in the temple. There were three sword masters with her, and if the concubine was counted, there were four sword masters gathered together.The Holy One has not been out of Beijing for ten years, and Chaotian Temple has not welcomed so many distinguished guests for a long time. The excitement is too busy, and there is no time to pay attention to the news of the temple owner.

It wasn't until yesterday that several old celestial masters who had been friends with Jiang Zifu for many years realized that something was wrong. The news that the imperial concubine came to Chaotian Palace in person should have spread throughout Nanjing, but Jiang Zifu, the master of the temple, did not come to pay his respects for a long time, and asked the Taoist boy who received the people Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't heard any news from the Yang Family Villagers since then.Everyone thought that something might have happened, and secretly sent a few disciples to Yangjia Village to investigate, but they didn't return all night.

This morning, several old celestial masters took advantage of morning class to discuss for a while, and decided to tell the imperial concubine Mo Qingshan about this strange incident, so that the imperial concubine would feel that the temple master hadn't shown up for a long time and missed the etiquette.

In addition, the old celestial masters also have selfish intentions.Jiang Zifu was an orphan adopted by a Buddhist monastery. At the age of 15, he was qualified to attend the debate meeting of monks and Taoists. The Taoist sect won at the end of the ten-year losing streak. Jiang Zifu also turned to Taoism at the age of 25 in that year.

Jiang Zifu has dabbled in both Buddhism and Taoism. He is an extremely rare body refiner among celestial masters. What he cultivates is the purest vajra indestructible body in Buddhism. He is only limited by the mantra of the heart, and his realm has stopped at the seventh peak.In Taoist practice, although Jiang Zifu is a formation master, he formed a formation with the accompanying disciples, and when they cooperate, they naturally have an incomparable tacit understanding, and it is rare to meet an opponent in the world.

With such strength to investigate the dragon’s veins, and he hasn’t returned for a long time, it is obvious that something happened. The imperial concubine plus the entourage, the four sword masters, each of them are top masters. Invite them to go with you.

The matter is mysterious, but it will not be more shocking than the trip to Wudang. Ye Shu is worried that there will be a connection between the two, so he agrees to go.So everyone left Ouyang Jing to protect Mo Qingshan, Gu Twelve Books, He Chunxia, ​​Ye Shu, Zhang Zhouzhou, Li Siyi and five people went to Yangjia Village with an old celestial master surnamed Wu.

Yang Family Village is approaching, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers in the capital city can be faintly heard on the other side of the city wall. Go out of the village.

Ye Shu and his party appeared at the head of the village, attracting attention. Several people dressed as victims of the disaster saw them, and suddenly whistled. No matter whether the victims who heard the whistle noticed Ye Shu and the others, they immediately turned around and ran away. into the village.

"Hell in the daytime? These are all victims of starvation?" Zhang Zhoucong looked at the weird scene in front of him, a little confused.

"Man, this is Jin Yiwei's whistle, say." Ye Shu listened to the familiar whistle, "You are quite well-trained, spy."

"Jinyiwei?" Zhang Zhouzhou was ashamed, but even he realized it, "The Jinyiwei of Nanzhen Fusi seem to be in the capital city, how could there be a secret road here together with the inner and outer cities?"

Guanzhu Jiang and the villagers in the village must have been caught by these officers and soldiers. Everyone immediately became cautious, took out their weapons, and observed the surrounding terrain before moving forward.

Suddenly there was a loud whistle in the village, followed by the sound of arrows piercing the air, shouts, formations, and weapons clashing, all in a mess.

"A fight broke out inside? Could it be the villagers? Could it be Guanzhu Jiang?" He Chunxia asked.

Old Heavenly Master Wu shook his head, "Most people in the Taoist school have eccentric personalities. Guanzhu Jiang is a special case. He has a very good temper and doesn't like to argue and fight."

"Wait and see what happens? Or go and have a look?" Gu Twelve Books frowned. Before he became the Sword Master of Wushan, he had always called himself an abandoned disciple of Youyue. At this moment, the Youyue Sword Sect is in the capital city. It is said that they are doing all kinds of evil. Maybe this trip will meet old people.

"The situation is unknown, be careful of being accidentally injured, and wait and see what happens." Ye Shu led the crowd forward slowly.

There was an explosion in the hustle and bustle, but it was unclear whether it was the firecrackers on the other side of the city wall or the firearms in Yangjia Village.

In the imperial city, there are red walls, red paper and red lanterns, and festive colors can be seen everywhere. Several halls that have just been repaired have been arranged overnight. The disrepair of the royal garden finally revealed some of the solemn atmosphere of the year.

However, no one entered the newly renovated hall. This morning, Zheng Xianyong forcibly moved the venue of the wedding out of the imperial city despite Zheng Xinzhu's strong dissatisfaction.After making arrangements all the way, although the bride pouted, but she was wearing a red hijab, no one saw her.

After reading the long gift list and praying to heaven and earth, Zheng Hsinchu was still angry and went back to the hospital early to rest, leaving only Liu Lingguan as a companion. After a round of drinking, Jiang Alang came forward to toast Liu Lingguan with a smile.

"Something went wrong." Jiang A-Lang leaned on Liu Lingguan's shoulder and whispered. To outsiders, it looked like congratulations between brothers, "You can't get out."

"What do you mean?" Liu Lingguan smiled and nodded.

"This morning's news, the Prince of Zhenxi personally led the army to Nanjing."

"What!" The surprised look on Liu Lingguan's face was fleeting. He gently broke away from Jiang A-Lang and glanced in the direction of the capital. The direction of the side clean room.

Liu Lingguan understood, and the two drank and chatted with the guests at the banquet for a while, and left at a different time with the excuse of urgency. Keep an eye out for people coming and going without being spotted.

The two lowered their voices and whispered.

"3 horses, plus the 6 trapped in the capital city, Zheng and Shi's [-], a total of [-] horses, against [-] Han's army." Jiang Alang sighed, "Such a battle, pigs can fight .”

Continue to talk, "Zheng Xianyong temporarily changed his mind and decided not to let you go, let's give it a go. Yu Ziqi, prince of Zhenxi, came to Nanjing to become emperor. He and Shi Zhichuan are both founding generals. There are people behind him, talking and doing things , are much tougher. This battle for imperial power started in Nanjing. Northern Shaanxi, northwest, and Qin and Chu lands are all the territory of the Marquis of Zhenxi, blocking the front. In Jiangnan, only Zhu Tongsheng's Zhu Jiajun, and then south Let's go, the prefects' soldiers are weak and unaligned, how to stand in line is still unknown, nothing to worry about."

"When it comes to leading troops to fight, the Holy Majesty is an idiot in front of Yu Ziqi. He can only order generals to attack. This mission has no good end. Winning and killing Zhenxihou is tantamount to murdering the prince. Die and lose. Hehe, fight Losing is death." Jiang Alang shook his head and smiled wryly, "Yu Ziqi made a brilliant move, Nanjing proclaimed himself emperor, officially declared war, people's support, hard power, favorable time and place, he's all taken over, you don't need to run away anymore If you stay, you may be famous in history with Zheng Xianyong."

Liu Lingguan raised his forehead, and the situation reversed overnight. He remembered something and raised his voice, "The real dragon! The real dragon is in Mo Qingshan's belly. After all, Yu Ziqi is a rebel, going against the sky! Public opinion will not be in Yu Ziqi's mouth." Qi here."

Jiang A-Lang gave him a helpless look, "A few little Taoist priests were arrested last night. The latest news is that Mo Qingshan is in Chaotian Palace, and his stuffing is like dumpling stuffing. The real dragon emperor, Han Jiajun, was all captured by Yuzi." When the Qi Bao is round, it is waiting to be eaten in one bite."

"Mo Qingshan? How could Mo Qingshan come here!" Liu Lingguan's eyes widened in disbelief, "How many days? How many days? Yu Ziqi, how many days will he be here?"

"Today has passed, at most two days. Not only Mo Qingshan, He Chunxia, ​​Ye Shu, Ancient Twelve Books, Qi Baiyu, me, six sword masters gathered in Nanjing, hum, interesting." Jiang Alang patted Liu Lingguan , said earnestly, "He who understands current affairs is a hero. The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover. You will go to your old man later, be more sincere, and say that you and the third young master of the Qi family are good friends. You don't want to see the victims outside the city suffer." Help out. Now that you and Zheng Xinzhu are married, loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced. Under the balance, you still choose to stand by your old father-in-law. I think he will not make it difficult for you. Marry a good wife and continue honestly. Forget about being your young shopkeeper of HSBC Bank, Mr. Su, the Bamboo Forest Party, and going to sea."

silence.

Jiang Alang knew that Liu Lingguan needed time to think about it. Seeing that there was no one around, he went down to the clean room to have a urinate, and when he went out, he bumped into Liu Lingguan who was coming in.

"The third young master of the Qi family can't die. I promised Qi Baiyu that his illness won't last long." Liu Lingguan shook his head at Jiang Alang, looking for a place to explain, "Going to sea, he has to go to sea alive, find The chance to survive, I have promised many people that I will take them out to sea, and I have promised Mr. Su that I will find Tianxinhua. My Liu family has accumulated the elixir of alchemy for generations. Gone before your eyes."

"Hehe." Jiang A-Lang stood behind him and shook his head, "If you want to go to sea, you don't need to be in a hurry. When Yu Ziqi ascends the throne and secures the throne, depending on your old man's status, organizing people is just a matter of words."

"You're really on that road of no return." Liu Lingguan's face darkened, he turned around, and immediately, his whole face seemed to change, and he became impassioned, "Wait until Yu Ziqi is firmly seated on the throne, and then go to sea to find Tianxinhua So what, it's just a tribute to the imperial power! Don't forget, our background as merchants, our people's indifference, everything we do is to return power, freedom, such beautiful things to everyone A person who has been oppressed, bound, and humiliated!"

Jiang A-Lang stared at him blankly, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Brother Liu, you and I know each other very well, what are you pretending to be? You are looking for Tianxinhua, isn't it also a dream of longevity. You and I were born in a merchant's family, and our status is indeed low, but now, my position, You are more than ten thousand people, and you married the daughter of the admiral of Nanjing, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. At this time, you are moving out of the world? When your Liu family was working for the bureaucrats, collecting people's fat and anointing, and earning money from the people, why didn't you think about it? The money is distributed to the people."

Jiang Alang saw that Liu Lingguan's cheeks were slightly red, and there was a bit of disappointment hidden between his brows, and he sighed, "After I finished speaking last night, you and I have already parted ways. Businessmen value profits and despise separation. What I pursue is to be famous all over the world. The winner writes, I hope to see what you said, but I don't believe it. It seems that you really remembered what you said last night."

The two looked at each other with wry smiles, went out together, and then went to the banquet, Liu Lingguan said lightly, "Do me a favor, take me and Kuang Lansheng to the secret road, I want to kill out."

"What about Miss Zheng?" Jiang Alang glanced at Liu Lingguan, but saw no waves, "What a Pei Konglun, passing among thousands of flowers, not even a single leaf touches you, it's ruthless enough. You have to know, what is the price of killing it? The HSBC bank account will be destroyed in your hands."

"Businessmen value profit over parting, but they are based on faith. If you say something, you must promise a thousand dollars. I promised Qi Baiyu that I would take him to sea alive. I promised Mr. Su that I would find Tianxinhua and come back. I promised myself that I would I'm a businessman, but I also want to do something great."

"You promised Miss Zheng to marry her." Jiang Alang snorted coldly, but Liu Lingguan didn't respond, and walked forward, the two tacitly staggered their steps, one in front and one in back.

"Help you once."

"Thank you."

The two returned to the banquet and had another round of drinking. Liu Lingguan pretended to be overwhelmed, and Jiang Alang escorted him to Zheng Xinzhu's small courtyard to rest.

Amidst the noise of the bridal chamber, the two were happily sent away by the crowd. As soon as they left the courtyard, Zheng Xianyong immediately gave a wink to a thin old man at the banquet. Moving like ghosts, they disappeared in the small courtyard that was still noisy.

The old man watched with great interest as Jiang A-lang jumped up and down the screen wall of the corridor in Miyagi following the innocent Liu Lingguan.Jiang Alang, as the sword master of Youyue, needless to say his lightness kung fu, another identity of Liu Lingguan is the flower picker Pei Konglun, his lightness kung fu is even comparable to Mo Qingshan's cloud climbing footwork, and the two of them put all their strength into it, He hurried forward, but was followed by the old man unhurriedly, like strolling in the garden.

Soon, the two came to a small wing room that was originally used to store sundries. It was a small, insignificant place that had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was not included in the list of repairs. It looked a little creepy from a distance.

Before the two of them approached, the door of the wing room had opened a gap.

"You are being followed, there is no sound of footsteps, and the sound of breathing is very light, you are an expert insider." Kuang Lansheng smiled, squeezed half of his body through the crack of the door, and lowered his voice to transmit the sound into the secret.He carried a large wooden sword case, but only one hilt was exposed in the sword case, the Suxue sword.

Liu Lingguan and Jiang Alang immediately became alert and held their breaths, "No footsteps, no sound, how do you tell the difference?"

"Smell." Kuang Lansheng nodded his nose, "He smells very good of old wine, he's an old alcoholic."

Liu Lingguan pretended to pinch his chin to think, and lightly brushed his fingers across his neck. Kuang Lansheng shook his head, "If the enemy is dark, we will be clear. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, it will be difficult for us to keep him. We can only play by ear."

Jiang Alang, one head and two big, "You two are determined to fight out. It doesn't matter how you retreat. If this person is left behind, Zheng Xianyong will suspect me and can't kill him. But this person will also see that I sent you two away." Going out, I have to think of an excuse to explain clearly."

Talking while walking, Kuang Lansheng learned that He Chunxia, ​​Ye Shu and others were in the Chaotian Palace not far away, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and he became happy.

Soon, the old man followed the three of them and approached the compound where the secret passage was located. Kuang Lansheng looked at the gate without a sentry post, and suddenly frowned, "Something happened."

"how?"

"It's too quiet, and there's a lot of blood."

"Maybe the imprisoned villagers were killed, and according to Zheng Xianyong's temperament, he will definitely let the spies go out to investigate the military situation." Jiang Alang spread his hands, "Okay, I'll send it here. Before you two go in, take advantage of the situation." I was unprepared, sneak attack, and stun me." Then pretending to be surprised, he exclaimed loudly, "Liu Lingguan! You villain, you actually betrayed your trust! Tricked me to bring you here! Hypocrisy villain!"

Liu Lingguan didn't bother to open his mouth to answer, Kuang Lan understood it, he took out the Suxue sword from the sword box and stabbed it, Jiang A-lang fell straight to the ground, muttering, "I don't know if I'm stunned, why stab me?"

Jiang A-lang yelled loudly before he fell to the ground, but there was still no movement in the compound. Liu Lingguan also sensed that something was wrong, and the two standing, one in front of the other, went straight into the hospital.

A square courtyard, three rooms, a screen wall, facing south, a large courtyard, a room can accommodate dozens of people living at the same time.

The blood-stained clay and brick embryos piled up in the courtyard, like a simple tomb. Remnants of corpses can be seen everywhere, and the blood on the ground gradually congealed.Obviously, these elite soldiers wearing chain armor were killed not long ago, even within an hour.

The two of them covered their mouths and noses, and wrinkled their faces. The doors and windows of the east chamber were all removed, and behind the threshold, you can see the newly laid stone steps extending downwards. This is the secret passage.

Kuang Lansheng's ears moved suddenly, and the sound of footsteps climbing up the stairs came from the secret passage.

He smiled, and pulled out the Suxue sword from the sword box behind his back.

Seeing this, Liu Lingguan stepped forward cautiously, and happened to meet the visitor.

"A thief?"

"Don't, don't, don't do it."

In the summer, just after Xushi, the sky is dark, there is no moon in the night, and there are bursts of cicadas singing in the sultry room.

The song of the four seasons, the first cicada in summer.

Jiang Zifu meditated quietly in front of a candle. The mat he sat on was corroded by the smelly sweat of his disciples. None of the disciples fell asleep, and they all tossed and turned in the noisy cicadas.

A few days ago, some villagers from Yangjia Village came to Chaotian Palace and said that there was a phenomenon of dragon veins in Yangjia Village on Zijin Mountain.Combined with the rumors of the real dragon descending from Wudang Mountain, Jiang Zifu did not dare to be negligent, and hurried there with his disciples. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, all the men, women and children of Yangjia Village gathered here, holding all kinds of fresh fruits they harvested and waiting for a long time.

Jiang Zifu walked in the front like stars holding the moon, and led the people to investigate the vision. As soon as he entered the village, he saw a group of soldiers coming out of the ground.

"Isn't this the Tiger's Mighty Camp?" Jiang Zifu recognized the armor, and instantly understood that the depression was not caused by the dragon's veins, but a tunnel dug by the capital city.

The two sides looked at each other, and the next moment, the tiger flag was waved, the arrow pierced through the air, there was a scream, and the muffled sound of the flesh hitting the ground.

Jiang Zifu was just in a daze, and the villagers of the Yang family who followed him had already died, and some disciples who were unable to react in time were seriously injured.

On the battlefield, bows and arrows are king, and Huweiying can become the strongest team under Zheng and Shi because of this bow hunting.

This tunnel is a strange soldier, and should not be known by outsiders. When Zheng and Shi selected the exit of the secret tunnel according to the map, Yangjia Village had already become a dead place.

"Stop hurting people!" Jiang Zifu yelled, the iron armor was cold, and the arrows kept firing. The villagers of Yangjia Village turned around and screamed desperately to escape. The long arrow pierced through the heart.

"I am Jiang Zifu, the master of Chaotian Palace! Don't hurt people!" Jiang Zifu was furious, and he was about to block the sword with his body when he used his strength, "Disciples of Chaotian Palace! Form an array, protect the villagers and go first."

In front of the Iron Army formation, an old man shouted fearlessly, which finally attracted the attention of the soldiers.Xing Dong, the general of Huwei Battalion, squinted his eyes for a while, and waited until Jiang Zifu rushed to the front of the formation before ordering to withdraw the arrows.

"It turned out to be Daoist Jiang. I have bad eyesight. I didn't recognize him. I offended you." Xing Dong sighed unhurriedly, waved his hand, and signaled to the soldiers behind him, "Shoot the leg, catch alive."

"Torturing and killing innocent people! Zheng Xianyong, is this how Shi Zhichuan taught his subordinates!" Jiang Zifu was furious, "Take me to see Zheng Xianyong! You people must be dealt with according to military law!"

"Jiang Daochang, Huwei Camp is now a rebel army. I respect you, so I can talk to you in a friendly manner." Xing Dong shook his head, "The city gate caught fire and the fish in the pond were affected. This is a war, there is only victory and defeat, there is no military law." The eyes no longer look at this The old man shook the flagpole by his side, and the sergeants immediately took off the pine swallowtail badges, and went forward, hiding behind the shields, holding spears in an array, forming an arc, and surrounding Jiang Zifu.

The gleaming spear head and the solid long shield forced Jiang Zifu to calm down. His bones slammed violently, and his thin figure became tall in a few breaths.
Everyone on the scene was stunned, and there was a pause. Jiang Zifu rushed forward, punched out, and hit the swallowtail plate heavily. With a muffled sound, the man holding the shield flew out spraying blood foam, and the battle was fleeting. A gap was torn open.

The sergeants of the Huwei Battalion showed no signs of fear, and immediately stabbed forward with more than a dozen long spears, catching Jiang Zifu's arms across the span, and thrust him back a step abruptly.

Jiang Zifu moved his legs forward and backward, twisted his horse step, shook his whole body, stretched his hands, and drew them together in a circle. He rubbed all the long spears that had stabbed him into his arms. Pressing his head under his ribs so that he could not retract it, he fought with more than ten people with his own strength.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the sergeants in the front line all took out their curved short knives for close quarters, and were about to step forward.

"Jiang Daochang! Do you have to fight to the death? If you do it again, I will kill everyone else who came with you!"

It was Xing Dong's loud shout, and the world around Jiang Zifu's ears gradually quieted down. He turned his head and froze in place.

The ground was in a mess, fresh fruit juice mixed with blood red, trampled and crushed, sporadic lingering wriggling forward on the ground, exhausting the last vitality little by little.

You die or die?I haven't heard such words for a long time. In Chaotian Palace, more than ten years of stable life has made Jiang Zifu forget the violence and cruelty. He seems to be living in a dream of Taoyuan with good human nature.For Zheng Xianyong and Shi Zhichuan's rebellion, he didn't take it seriously, it was just a farce, the Han family army besieged the city, caught the turtle in the urn, and the rebels would surrender in a few days.

At this moment, the killing tore apart his imagination like a nightmare, the great war has really come.

His arms gradually weakened, and the tip of the gun he was holding was withdrawn little by little.

There were only a dozen or so people who survived, and most of them were Taoist disciples brought by him. Facing the iron armor and bow of the army, the disciples could only protect themselves and had no time to help others.Soon, the villagers and disciples were all tied up and thrown beside the secret passageway.

"Daoist Jiang, once you are old, we will not embarrass you, let's go along? The news of the secret way cannot be leaked." Xing Dong flipped his wrist, the banner flicked, and the formation changed, surrounding Jiang Zifu, "Are you practicing?" Physical warriors are not afraid of weapons, but other people, with mortal bodies, can't survive if they wipe their necks with a knife, and if they make a move, I will kill one."

Jiang Zifu looked at his disciples and the villagers. No one spoke in his eyes. Countless emotions were intertwined in his eyes. Everyone on the field looked at Jiang Zifu. He sighed and relaxed, "Let me see Zheng Xianyong, I have Speak to him."

"No, you have face with Mr. Zheng, if you don't keep it all, my brothers will really be punished."

After walking through the secret passage, he was locked in this wing room for several days.

The cicadas chirped again, shouting and hissing, as if they had infinite strength.

Jiang Zifu's ears twitched, people's voices, footsteps, and the door of the wing room.

Immediately, the door was kicked open, Xing Dong yawned, squinted his eyes and looked into the room twice, his soldiers dragged a few blood men and threw them into the room.

A group of disciples got up and opened their eyes, they recognized the Daoist robes of those people, and their faces changed.

"We are savages, we don't have medical skills, and we don't have doctors at all. We only have emergency medicine with us. You can figure it out." Xing Dong threw down a pack of medicine foam in his arms, and turned to close the door.

After a while, Jiang Zifu was checking the injuries of those disciples, Xing Dong turned back, kicked the door open, and threw down a whole basket of brown sugar, "Master Zheng will marry a daughter tomorrow, brothers' wives, mothers and children are all in the outer city. I can’t take it home, the elders can’t eat so many sweets, share it with you.”

"No medicine? Sugar?" Some disciples gritted their teeth and muttered.

"This is not good? Medicine is bitter, but sugar is sweet." Xing Dong closed the door.

The door was never locked.

This room can't hold a body-training martial artist at the peak of Qichong Mountain, but it is a human being who can hold Jiang Zifu.

Those disciples were tortured and died before midnight.

From their murmurs before they died, Jiang Zifu knew two very important things.

Mo Qingshan is in Chaotian Palace.

Zheng Xianyong knew about it.

The Yangjia Village at the exit of the secret road is only an hour or two away from Chaotian Palace on Zijin Mountain.Since Zheng Xianyong knew about this, he would definitely arrest Mo Qingshan and bring him into the inner city.

In the middle of the night, when there were no cicadas singing, Jiang Zifu wanted to go out and bury the corpses of his dead disciples, but Xing Dong refused.

He quietly meditated next to his disciple's corpse.

In the silent midnight, a thin voice suddenly drifted away gently.

No one fell asleep, and some disciples were sobbing softly.

Jiang Zifu is a gentle man. He is an orphan adopted by the temple, and the Zen masters taught him to be submissive.

Suffering will pass, as long as you bear it in silence.

Meditation and Zen meditation is self-reflection and self-concept. He has deep meditation skills, no matter how noisy the cicadas are, he can meditate quietly and calm his mind. This is his practice.

No matter how noisy the cicadas were, he could still calm down.

This small, drifting sob.

Jiang Zifu's heart beat faster and faster.

He opened his eyes.

"Tomorrow, we will return to Chaotian Palace."
