Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 17
It was still daytime, but the cemetery was filled with gloom.The dead grass on the grave was swaying in the cold wind, and the surrounding pine branches and leaves rustled like the roar of ghosts.

Suddenly there was a shrill owl howl, which made Hua Rulang shiver in fright, and quickly shrank behind Su Ji.

Hua Rulang felt the piercing wind continuously coming from the back of his spine, a pair of small hands that were wet from nervousness held a rusty crowbar tightly, and his stiff feet moved forward step by step.

Su Ji carried an iron hoe and strode towards an old pine tree.The weeds under the trees can reach the knees.Among the tall weeds stood a mottled bluestone tombstone, without a word on it.

Hearing a sigh, Hua Rulang looked up at Su Ji, only to see that his gloomy face had already blended with the gloomy atmosphere around him.

Su Ji waved the hoe in his hand to dig open the grave.Within half an hour, the coffin lid emerged from the soil.

"This is... Stubborn Grave!" Hua Rulang couldn't help blurting out, and the hand that was gripping the crowbar began to tremble.

Although he is not very old, he also knows that digging graves and stealing graves is a treasonous thing.Besides, according to what Su Ji said before, it might be his own grandfather's grave that was dug here.

"It's not digging graves, it's saving lives!" Su Ji stretched out a hand to Hua Rulang and hooked his index finger.

Hua Rulang understood immediately, obediently handed out the crowbar with a pair of small hands, and then remembered King Chali's advice: "Master Fox is right!"

Now this sentence is probably the only reason to support this child to stay here.

He wiped the sweat from his palms on his trousers, preparing for what he was about to see.

Su Ji inserted the crowbar into the coffin board and stepped on it hard. After several times, the lid began to loosen.The moment the coffin lid was removed, Hua Rulang covered her eyes in fright.

Through the cracks in his fingers, Hua Rulang saw a fat old man lying in the coffin.

The fat old man's belly was bulging like a pregnant woman's, and his expression was as peaceful as if he was asleep.What puzzled Hua Rulang was that the fat old man's body did not show any signs of decay, as if he had just died.But if he just died, the weeds in the cemetery would not grow so high.

Just when Hua Rulang was puzzled, Su Ji threw the hoe and crowbar aside, jumped into the coffin, and sniffed the corpse.Looking at his expression, Hua Rulang didn't seem to smell any bad smell of corruption.

"Wolf, come and say hello to grandpa!"

Hua Rulang's eyes widened, he shook his head in fear, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid. Your grandfather's body has not rotted for nine years, and it's probably not completely dead. Master promised your father to take care of your grandfather, so he will definitely find a way to bring him back to life."

Before Little Wolf had time to ponder the meaning of Su Ji's words, he heard a shrill cry from the top of the Star Picking Platform:

"Killed! Killed!"

Su Ji climbed out of the coffin and looked towards the path leading to the top of the Star Picking Platform.I saw a lot of people running down from the top of the Star Picking Platform one after another in the distance, looking extremely panicked.The flow of people is getting more and more crowded, people are constantly being squeezed out of the narrow path, and many tombstones are trampled down.

"Wolf! You stay where you are and wait for me. Master has to go back and have a look."

Hua Rulang scratched his head and asked blankly:

"Then what about grandpa, isn't the master going to bring him back to life?"

"What's the rush! Your grandfather is still dead for the time being, and it doesn't matter if he is alive in the temple!"

After finishing speaking, Su Ji rushed to the top of the Star Reaching Platform.

Suddenly, a miserable hiss came from Qingling Temple:
"Quickly report to the police! Someone—"

Accompanied by the screams that came to an abrupt end, a headless corpse of a child in Taoist uniform flew out from the door.Su Ji dodged sideways and dodged behind the wooden window.

The sword energy in the main hall is vertical and horizontal, and the white light is flashing.Wherever the light went, screams could be heard endlessly.Three sword qi pierced the window paper, and the flying blood foam splashed on the snow-white window paper.

The torn window paper divided the world before Su Ji's eyes into three parts. Peeping in through the three gaps, he could see several dead bodies lying on the ground, with blood flowing and a stench rising to the sky.

Su Ji couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, he was stunned by the shocking scene.He counted the corpses lying in a pool of blood, and calculated that there were seven Taoist priests in Qingling Temple, and wanted to see how many were still panting.

"one two three four five six……"

Suddenly, a trembling voice begged:
"Great Immortal... Great Immortal, spare me!"

Su Ji raised his head suddenly, and saw the man in white raised the sword in his hand and forced the last Taoist boy out from behind the screen.Between Daotong's wet legs, a light yellow liquid trickled down.

Su Ji sighed softly and murmured a count of "seven".His intuition told him that once the sword was raised, if it wasn't stained with that person's blood, he might not be able to put it down easily.

"Where is my master?" the man in white asked coldly.

"Who is your master?"

"Taijia real person."

"I've never heard of it...there are only Mr. Fox, the Fearless God of War, Shancai..."

Before Daotong finished speaking, the man in white suddenly frowned slightly.A head was cut off in an instant, and blood gushed out from the neck like a blooming blood lotus.

Although Su Ji guessed the result, he didn't see the action of the man in white at all.His hands were always hidden in his snow-white long sleeves, and the snow-white clothes were not stained with a single drop of blood.His sword is obviously a wooden sword, but it can cut off people's heads like melons and vegetables!
At this time, a blue will-o'-the-wisp rose from the mouth of Daotong's head, and flew faintly towards the mahogany sword at the waist of the man in white.The three-and-a-half-foot-long piece of wood was neither sharp nor murderous, and looked like a child's toy.

Su Ji felt that the sword of the man in white looked familiar, so he couldn't help but moved forward a few steps, came to the door, and wanted to take a closer look at the sword.When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but gasped.It really wasn't a toy, he had seen that sword in a dream.

He remembered that he once turned that sword into a sword energy, which ended the life of Taijia Daoist.Although this is killing, it can also be regarded as saving lives.But now Taijia Zhenren's apprentice came to look for his master with murderous intent.Even if he had a hundred mouths, it would be difficult for him to tell the whole story.

At this moment, Su Ji felt someone around him gasp, and turned his head suddenly, only to see Hua Rulang covering his small mouth with both hands, looking at the corpse in the temple in astonishment.Su Ji dragged him back, lowered his voice and asked:

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me there? It's dangerous here!"

Hua Rulang still opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and replied hesitantly:

"It's... dangerous there too. Just now... Grandpa's stomach... suddenly moved."

"So you left him and came running?"

Hua Rulang shook his head and said:
"I asked the coachman who came with me to carry him into the carriage."

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Su Ji heard a footstep getting closer, as if the man in white was walking towards him.

Su Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put his mouth close to Hua Rulang's ear, and said a few words mysteriously.

Hua Rulang shook her head like a drum after hearing it.

"No! No! No! Master..."

Su Ji quickly covered his small mouth, and said word by word:
"If you want to survive, do as the master tells you!"

After all, he gently pushed the apprentice away with one hand!
