Chapter 51: Beginning with Demon Sect,
On the official road, a pretty boy wearing a blue shirt was galloping in a carriage. In the Ming Dynasty, the shirt was basically the common clothes for scholars. The one who drove was Li Jie. They had been away from Fuzhou Prefecture for a month and were rushing to Zhangzhou Prefecture. Because Fang Yi followed Li Jie all the way, he had to slow down. If he was the only one, he would be riding a horse faster.
During the journey, Li Jie was not idle either. He set out from Fuzhou Prefecture to Quanzhou Prefecture and then to here. Whenever he entered the city to repair, Li Jie would ask if there were some evil gangsters near the city. If he had, he would go to some bandit camps for trial. The Green Forest people along the way were beaten by Li Jie and turned upside down.
Before the sun set, Li Jie finally drove to Longxi County. He had to make some adjustments for the past two days. The weather was hot and his body was sticky. It was nothing for Li Jie. Even if he camped in the wilderness, he could find a stream to wash. He had never experienced the pollution of industrialization and was covered with green mountains and clear waters everywhere.
After dinner at the inn, Li Jie went back to his room and changed outfit and went out to find out the news. Before leaving, he told Fang Yi not to go out and stay in the room. Li Jie's behavior along the way also made Fang Yi a little curious. Every time he checked in the inn, Li Jie went out and Yue Zhizhongtian would come back. Thinking that Li Jie didn't like to go to those vocal venues, Fang Yi was puzzled about what Li Jie was doing.
When Li Jie was sweeping out a group of human traffickers in Anxi County, he found out that their behind-the-scenes envoy lived on Wohu Mountain near Longxi County. That day, the thief leader shouted that Li Jie would let them go, otherwise their boss would make him look good.
The mastermind behind the scenes is a middle-aged man and woman known as the "Tongbai Shuangqi" in the world. When Li Jie heard this name, he remembered that the original work seemed to be a formality, and it should be the minions of the Demon Cult. When Li Jie was in the world, he had no good feelings for those kidnapped people. Every family behind the lost child had a painful story.
On weekdays, there are occasional news that major sects recruit disciples in the world, but I have never heard of the Demon Cult recruiting disciples. It seems that among these lost children, those with martial arts talents, should have been sent to the chief sect. As for other children, they may not end up in a good way. Needless to say, those who died during transportation are those who are lucky and sold to yards to get food. If you are unlucky, some beggars with broken hands and feet will be their future.
Li Jie galloped along the official road and rushed for a while. He saw two crooked trees. There was a small path nearby. According to the locals, this road was a path to Wohu Mountain. Li Jie took advantage of the moonlight and strode towards Wohu Mountain.
After a while, I arrived at Wohu Mountain and saw a cliff, a strange rock forest. The peak was about a hundred feet high. It looked like a sleeping tiger. No wonder the locals called Wohu Mountain. When Li Jie was exploring around him, he found a fire spot. Apart from Tongbai Shuangqi's residence, there should be no one else in this wilderness, so he rushed to the fire.
Li Jie has practiced the evil-repelling sword score for many years, and now his body is very fast and his actions are like a ghost, silent. He takes several feet in one step, and in a short while, he reaches the place where the fire light appears.
When we approached, a small courtyard made of logs came into view. There were a circle of fences around the courtyard, and there were three rooms in total. In one of them, candlelight was shining through the wooden window, and the candlelight was faintly visible. The room was covered with shadows, and the two of them should be having a meal when they saw them.
For a character like Tongbai Shuangqi, Li Jie disdains to attack. He walked to the gate of the yard and kicked his feet hard.
With a clang, the wooden courtyard door flew in response. When the two people who were eating in the house heard the movement, they immediately took their weapons and rushed out of the door. They saw a man wearing a hat, holding a standard sword, and wearing a short body in a strong outfit. There was no such person among the people they met on weekdays.
The middle-aged man with one-minded purpose shouted sternly: "Who is yours? Why are you trespassing unreasonably?"
When Li Jie saw a middle-aged man and woman in front of him, he had a very tacit understanding of the position. As long as he attacked one of them, he would be within the rescue scope of the other. No matter where he launched an attack, he would inevitably be besieged by the two.
"Remember the horse monkey?"
The man frowned when he heard this. They were now carrying secret orders of the Divine Cult and went to Guangdong and Fujian provinces to pick up talents for the sects. They also knew that the sects had a bad reputation, so they had the idea of human traffickers. Ma Houer was one of the leaders of the peripheral organizations they developed and did not know their true identity. However, seeing that the person in front of him had come to him, it would be amazing to keep him.
Then the one-eyed man winked at the woman next to him. The two have lived together for more than twenty years. Although they are not husband and wife, they are more like husband and wife. They have already had a close relationship. Seeing this, the woman understood the man's meaning. In an instant, the two of them all took action to attack Li Jie with iron kegs and one sword in hand.
Seeing that the two of them were fighting hand in hand without saying a word, Li Jie looked surprised and thought that they were indeed cruel characters. When the situation was not clear, he took action, and he deserved to be an old man.
The two of them attacked Li Jie's upper body one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the man attacked Li Jie's Danzhong point with a crooked sword, and the woman attacked Dantian with a knife. The two of them took action ruthlessly and mercilessly. In the blink of an eye, they approached. Before the person arrived, the sound of wind breaking through the air was already coming.
Li Jie raised his sword to greet him, his feet moved lightly, his figure was like a ghost, and he came first. The sword light flashed and first drew an arc and hit the iron crutch in the man's hand. Zhou Gutong felt a great force surge, and the huge shaking iron crutch almost broke out of his hand and shouted.
"Be careful, get a thriller!"
Before he could say anything, he saw Li Jie's long sword attacking Wu Boying, and the swords and swords hit each other. With a "clang" sound, Wu Boying retreated suddenly and was about a foot of the long sword. Before the person could land in the air, blood blew out. Zhou Gutong was furious in an instant, and the blue veins on his forehead burst, shouting shrillly.
"Thief woman!"
Then, regardless of whether Li Jie was still beside him, he jumped and hugged Wu Boying in one go. When he saw Wu Boying with a pale face and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, tears as big as beans flowed down from his eyes.
Seeing Zhou Gutong's sad expression, Wu Boying reached out and gently wiped away the tears from his face, looked at Zhou Gutong with a loving look, and then said weakly.
"Thief...hehe...man, it seems that you...hehe...hehe...we are doomed today. We must be a real couple in the next life, a couple that the matchmaker has married!"
Zhou Gutong knew that he was doomed today, and only hoped that the two of them would be with each other on the road to the underworld. He threw away the weapons in his hand and slowly lowered Wu Boying down and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"I know very well that today my husband and I cannot escape death. As long as you agree to my request, you will not need to take action and we will kill you!"
Seeing that although these two people belonged to the devil and did a lot of bad things on weekdays, Li Jie was moved by the deep love between the couple and said.
"Tell me! As long as I'm not too embarrassed, I will agree."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Gutong first gave a big ceremony to worship, and then said, "I just hope that after I die, you will bury me together and you can rely on each other on the road to the underworld."
"Okay, I promise you."
After hearing Li Jie's answer, the two looked at each other and smiled miserably, and then they died one after another.
After the two died, Li Jie found a vacant place nearby and dug a pit to bury the two of them. He admired their deep affection and determination, and sighed that they had taken the wrong path. He hoped that they could be good people in the next life. If they walked too much at night, they would eventually meet ghosts.
