Chapter 25 The story of the black robe, the curse of the token
Bang!
The courtyard door was suddenly broken open!
First, a strong white wolf rushed in!
Then a divine black eagle fell from the sky!
At the same time, another anxious voice rang!
"Junior Brother Li!"
He Qingyu broke into the courtyard with a sword, and then saw the scene in front of him clearly. His expression was frozen and unbelievable.
Li Zhengjing turned his head and glanced at her, and then saw two figures approaching slowly outside the hospital.
Chen Bing and Zhou Mo finally arrived slowly, with proud and mocking smiles on their faces.
Then when they were outside the hospital, their smiles completely froze.
Then Li Zhengjing's smile became even brighter.
"Sixty meritorious deeds are all mine, I accept them!"
After Li Zhengjing finished speaking, he looked at Chen Bing and Zhou Mo and couldn't help but be curious, asking: "Are you angry?"
The two men fluttered their sleeves angrily and turned to leave.
After walking for a moment, Chen Bing stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword and gritted his teeth.
"I'm so angry! I want to go back and kill him!"
"It is a serious crime to kill fellow members in public in public!"
Zhou Mo stopped him, and the two left angrily.
The courtyard fell into calm, and the evil cultivator was defeated by Li Zhengjing, but Li Zhengjing deliberately avoided the vital point, so the evil cultivator barely saved his life.
Then Lu Xiaoxuan rushed back to the Yamen to report the news, and then someone from the government came with shackles and shackles, locked up the evil cultivator, and escorted him back to the prison.
"The case has been settled, and all sixty merits will be attributed to you."
He Qingyu said: "Congratulations."
After finishing speaking, she whispered again: "Don't be so reckless next time."
What she was talking about was that Li Zhengjing asked her to notify Chen Bing and Zhou Mo before, but instead of waiting for the four of them to gather together, she set off directly and chose to go into danger alone.
"I drove you away on purpose."
Li Zhengjing hesitated for a moment and said: "I am 90% sure to win the opponent! But I am afraid of the unexpected, so I asked you to inform the two of them. If I miss, you will come later, and he will not be able to escape.
"
"When I took the two of them to meet you just now, I didn't find you, so I knew you wanted to get rid of me."
He Qingyu sighed and said: "It's late at night. Let's go to bed early. Tomorrow we will go to the Yamen to collect the paperwork, and then we can return to the sect to resume our duties."
After saying that, she left directly, and Li Zhengjing put away the token and returned to his residence.
Early the next morning, he received the closing documents from the local county government.
"Why did it go so well?"
Li Zhengjing sighed secretly, feeling disappointed in his heart: "Did Chen Bing and Chen Bing put pressure on the county government and give them the credit, and then I returned empty-handed and killed people in anger? They really don't play by the rules..."
But at this moment, Lu Xiaoxuan came to report.
"Then the evil cultivator wants to see me?"
"Exactly." Lu Xiaoxuan paused and said, "Previously, Chen Xianchang and Zhou Xianchang interrogated him, and then he said he wanted to see you."
"oh?"
Li Zhengjing waved his hand and said: "Lead the way!"
Under the leadership of Lu Xiaoxuan, when they entered the prison, they saw a black-robed evil cultivator with iron hooks piercing both shoulders and wearing shackles.
Then Lu Xiaoxuan bowed and retreated, leaving only Li Zhengjing and the evil cultivator.
"The man named Chen Bing made fun of me before."
The evil cultivator was covered in blood, with a ferocious face, and said slowly: "He delayed his steps last night, waiting for me to kill you, but I fell into your hands."
"As expected, not all members of the Immortal Sect are brothers and live in harmony." Li Zhengjing spread his hands and said: "Actually, if I had the chance, I would also like to kill him! But the rules of the sect are very strict, and it is forbidden for members of the same sect to kill each other..."
"I like your temperament. I heard that guy mentioned just now that you have only been cultivating inner qi for more than half a month."
"In such a short period of time, the cultivation of inner energy has reached such a level, and it is even unheard of to be able to perform Taoist skills within the realm of inner energy!"
"It's not unfair for me to fall into the hands of a genius like you."
The middle-aged man in black robe sighed with emotion, and then said: "Would you like to hear a story?"
Li Zhengjing shook his head: "I won't listen."
The middle-aged man in black robe said: "You avoided my vital point yesterday and spared my life. Didn't you want to ask something from me?"
Li Zhengjing did not deny it, so the middle-aged man in black robe told the story.
"The couple who were regarded as thieves were actually good people. It was just me who harmed them."
"I come from the north. I consider myself extremely evil and not a good person. I practice evil deeds, kill people and set fires, and I never show mercy."
"Since seventeen years ago, the three Immortal Sects invaded Fengdu Mountain, wiped out the ten directions, and plundered countless treasures of heaven, materials, and earth. The land in the north fell apart and lost its vitality. As a result, not a single blade of grass grew, and the Yin Qi became evil.
Extremely barren and desolate.”
"So I came to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to make medicine with babies to increase my cultivation. I only ate a hundred babies in total, but I was hunted down by the government and almost lost my life. Finally, I jumped into the river and escaped.
sky."
"I floated in the river for five days and five nights. It was the couple who fished me out and saved my life. They also used their money to buy me some supplements."
"Later, I recovered from my injuries. I was afraid of implicating them, so I killed more than a dozen families, collected three thousand taels of silver, and forced the couple to leave."
"They came here to do some business, but they were targeted by Cai Yue."
"They are not thieves, Cai Yue is the robber."
"After their deaths, the government investigated the case, and Cai Yue bribed them with silver and finally closed the case in a hurry."
"By the way, Capt. Wu didn't get any silver. He was interested in the indestructible token."
Having said this, the middle-aged man in black robe laughed and said: "I have not confessed the token, and it will be yours from now on! What do you want to ask next?"
"What exactly is a token?" Li Zhengjing frowned.
"Actually, I don't know either. Seventeen years ago during the great battle in Fengdu Mountain, corpses were everywhere. I used the corpses to practice martial arts and found the upper half of an old man's corpse."
"This thing is indestructible to water and fire, invulnerable to swords, and indestructible. But what its purpose is, I haven't been able to figure out for more than ten years! Of course, I won't tell you even if I figure it out!"
The middle-aged man in black robe continued: "I originally gave it as a token to the couple. If their descendants who meet them in the future have a bone, they can take it into my family."
"But I didn't expect that after the token left, I would be filled with sinister inner energy, which would begin to corrode myself!"
"That's why I wanted to retrieve the token, but I didn't expect that the couple were dead and the token was missing!"
"Now that I have found it, it belongs to you. As for the secret behind it, you can find it yourself from now on. It has nothing to do with me, a dead man."
The man in black robe laughed, looking quite free and easy.
Li Zhengjing glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the prison.
The man in black robe looked at the direction he was leaving with a cold look on his face. He gritted his teeth every word: "This token symbolizes something unknown! You will also die under the curse of this token in the future..."
Li Zhengjing returned to his residence, gathered his thoughts, and glanced at the golden page.
Luck: If you carry the "Dengjia Order" with you for more than ten days, you will be cursed and gradually turn into an evil spirit!
Twenty-seven days later, Qian Huan Shenjun returned from the capital. Seeing that you were cursed, he concluded that you were not the eternal holy body. He was greatly disappointed. In anger, he personally killed you and scattered your bones to ashes!
"Sure enough, I have no good intentions."
With this thought, Li Zhengjing threw the token in the corner and prepared to give it to Guigu Lingguan tonight.
He exhaled and said secretly: "After twenty-seven days, Qian Huan Shenjun will return from the capital?"
He suddenly felt pressure, so he came to the courtyard, untied the chains, opened the sack, and beat up the Five Elements Tree.
After venting his anger, he uprooted the Five Elements Creation Tree, put it into a sack, and prepared to go to "Lingguantang".
But at this moment, I heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
Opening the door, standing outside was He Qingyu. She came to say goodbye and was about to leave Kaixing Mansion.
"After receiving a summons earlier, Chen Youyu, the deacon of Gu Yuefeng's outer gate who had just been expelled from the mountain gate, was killed at noon the day before yesterday!"
"What? Deacon Chen is dead? When did he die? He must have died miserably, right?"
Li Zhengjing looked shocked, and then he couldn't help but sigh, full of sadness: "This is really regrettable."
"He was killed at noon the day before yesterday. It is said that his arm was broken and he was struck by a sword twelve times. When he died, you should have been on the way to Qixing Mansion."
"What a miserable death!" Li Zhengjing said with emotion.
"Chen Youyu was born in the Chen clan and was a deacon of the outer sect. He was killed just after he was sent to Bailing Mansion. The turmoil had a great impact and damaged the face of the Immortal Sect. Even the Law Enforcement Hall has intervened."
He Qingyu said: "Chen Bing and Zhou Mo have already set off for Daliao City, Bailing Mansion. I am also planning to go there. With my domestication skills, I can communicate with the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the place where the murder occurred, and I may be able to provide information to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Find clues and earn some merit."
Li Zhengjing's heart was slightly shaken, and he thought to himself: "Before leaving, the wall-hanging bird set a fire. I think all the mice should be burned up?"
Seeing him thinking deeply, He Qingyu asked again: "Junior Brother Li, do you want to go to Daliao City together?"
Shall I catch myself? Li Zhengjing immediately shook his head and said: "I am very satisfied with the meritorious service I got from going down the mountain this time."
"Then are you ready to return to the clan?" He Qingyu asked.
"This is natural. After all, within the blessed land of Immortal Mountain, there is abundant spiritual energy, so practicing can get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Zhengjing seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but persuade him: "Sister, it's more important to cultivate. Don't stay in the world of mortals. Why don't you go back to the mountain with me? At worst, I will give you thirty meritorious deeds, clear your debt, and avoid punishment!"
"I want to earn it myself!"
He Qingyu waved his hand and led Bai Lang away.
Li Zhengjing looked at her back and couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He immediately gathered his mind and glanced at the golden page.
Seeing that the fortune had not changed, I thought that if she came to investigate the case, she would not be found on my head, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he picked up the sack and beat him up before going out and walking through six streets to Lingguan Hall.
As soon as he entered the medicine shop, he saw a ray of light coming towards him fiercely.
"What the hell?"
Li Zhengjing was startled and immediately drew his sword!
