The blood on the old woman's forehead dyed the snow-covered ground bright red, and then gradually faded.
Shen Yu's attack was too decisive and strange, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Several big men on the side stood still.
They have killed too many people over the years and are used to seeing dead people.
Because this is a little trick they designed to take advantage of people's sympathy and then kill people and take money. The most important thing in this trick is the dead old woman.
She was a warrior at the ninth level of the First Sensation Realm, and countless heroes and warriors died at her hands.
It's just that such a murderous warrior was actually beaten to death with one punch.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned pale and they were already scared out of their wits.
Because the person who can kill the first sense realm warrior must be a legendary practitioner.
The next moment, someone took the lead and ran to the back of the alley, and then the other three people also reacted and fled in all directions.
Shen Yu casually popped out four streams of Qi, and saw a scream coming from the air.
Then, the sounds of people falling to the ground were heard one after another in the dark alley, and in an instant, everyone was dead.
Plop.
The only seven-foot man who didn't run away knelt down. He moved back desperately, trying to get further away from the man in front of him, but his legs were weak, and only some light yellow water droplets fell from his crotch.
He didn't die because he was frightened and didn't run away.
The man said in a trembling voice: "Spare... spare my life... the captain of Nanhe City is my uncle... I..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Shen Yu discovered that there was another person, so he waved his hand casually, and the man lost his breath.
There was no sound in the entire alley.
Shen Yu turned around and looked into the distance. A little girl covered in dirt and disheveled hair was squatting in the corner.
Shen Yu walked over.
The little girl looked up at Shen Yu, without shouting or running away. Her little face full of cracks stared at him indifferently.
She knew that this man might kill her too.
Shen Yu knelt down and said, "Are you hungry?"
The little girl nodded slightly.
Shen Yu used her right hand to grab the money bag from the old woman, and then handed it to the little girl.
"You won't be hungry anymore."
...
Shen Yu continued walking deeper into the alley, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated mansion.
This house is very large, so a wealthy family must have lived here before.
There is a slanted plaque on the front door of the house, and the writing on it can be faintly discerned among the countless spider webs.
Shen Mansion.
The owner of the Shen family in Nanhe City, Shen Yuanzhi, was a famous country squire.
Whenever there is a disaster, they will open warehouses and release grain to help the people around them. It is also common to build bridges and pave roads. The Shen family is a scholar, and the head of the family is approachable. In Nanhe City, even some ordinary local ruffians would not dare to provoke such a thing.
of people.
Just over ten years ago, for unknown reasons, the entire Shen family was killed overnight. More than 20 members of the family, including the martial arts warriors invited to protect the courtyard, were all killed.
This kind of massacre even shocked Liyang, the capital of Dali Kingdom.
There are rumors that it was done by some monsters from the Nanman Demon Realm, and some people say that it was done by some practitioners who came and went without a trace. There are different opinions.
However, many years have passed and this case is still unsolved.
Shen Yu stood quietly in front of the door steps, with an unprecedented wave of waves in his calm eyes.
When he went down the mountain this time, the most important thing was to come back here and take a look. After all, he had grown up here since he was a child, and Nanhe City was not far from Daozong.
Shen Yu stepped forward, gently peeled off the almost rotten seal, and then slowly opened the door that had been sealed for several years.
The harsh sound of pushing the door broke the silence of the night, and Shen Yu walked in.
The courtyard is covered with weeds, some of which are even taller than people. Occasionally, you can see a few skinny mice passing through the eaves.
Shen Yu walked through many places at will, including gardens, rockeries, pools, bedrooms, and then came to the lobby.
There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the lobby that says Ming De Wei Xin.
Shen Yu waved his sleeves and cleared a step, then sat down casually.
"I have been away for a few years. Over the years, I have been thinking whether I should be grateful or hate you."
Shen Yu said to the empty courtyard: "You did indeed do something wrong in that matter."
boom!
The crooked plaque suddenly exploded and shattered into many neat wooden pieces falling to the ground.
Shen Yu gathered them together casually, and then a tiny flame rose up. Finally, a fire was lit in the dark courtyard.
Shen Yu's eyes swayed in the firelight, showing tranquility and sadness.
A crisp sword sound sounded, and then a cold woman appeared next to Shen Yu.
Jing Qing looked around and said, "Where is this?"
Shen Yu said: "Nanhe City, the Shen family's residence."
"There is a dead air, there is endless hostility, and there is a powerful evil spirit on the other side of the river further away. This place is not good."
Jing Qing frowned slightly and said, "It's far worse than Daozong Mountain Gate."
Shen Yu said: "Of course, but we will only stay here for a day or two and then leave."
"Are you worried?"
Jing Qing and Shen Yu were connected by fate, so they naturally felt the young man's depressed mood.
Shen Yu said calmly: "Some trivial matters, my mood has gone wrong, I just need to temper it and it will be fine."
Jing Qing sighed softly, "Sometimes you are more boring than those old men in the Third Realm."
Shen Yu thought for a while and then said: "That's right, but interesting people are coming soon."
late at night.
There were footsteps outside the lobby, and a figure appeared from the darkness.
He is a young man, wearing a ramie short coat that was only worn by ancestors in ancient times. His skin is wheat yellow and his body is strong. Every step he takes seems to contain the power of heaven and earth.
He glanced at the lobby casually, then smiled softly and said, "Hello, I'm here to kill you."
...
Shen Yu did not look at him, but placed his hands lightly in front of the fire plate with an indifferent expression.
After letting the little girl go in the alley at the beginning, Shen Yu knew that things would become more interesting.
Many years ago, he also spared a little boy here.
At that time, the little boy was stopped by some people. After some coercion and inducement, the little boy revealed his appearance and whereabouts.
And today, that little girl is still like this.
Shen Yu didn't want to kill these two people, even if they would bring endless trouble to him.
Human life is very precious.
...
Nanhe City border military formation, three hours ago.
Several corpses were neatly placed side by side in a tent. They were the big men who died in the dark alley.
Captain Hu Bufeng stood in front of the corpse of a younger man with a gloomy face.
This man was the uncle of the young man's corpse, the captain of Nanhe Town. There were dozens of military prefectures in the Dali Dynasty, and there were hundreds of border towns similar to Nanhe Town.
Therefore, although he is a captain, he is the lowest-ranking first-level officer, with only a hundred or so city-defending sergeants under his command.
People like him may be inconspicuous in big inland cities.
But in Nanhe City, it is a matter of fact.
A soldier looked at Hu Bufeng cautiously and said: "General, do you want me to lead the troops to kill that man now? Anyway, the little girl has already said everything. Although the boy is a practitioner, he can't stand on the street. Killing someone violates my law in Dali."
"Let me think about it and don't rush into it yet."
Hu Bufeng was fascinated and silent, and after a while he said quietly: "Do you still remember that Shen Yuan knew about the family murder case in Shen's house?"
"Please remember, this is a big deal."
The confidant soldiers were a little puzzled. Why did the general bring up this matter?
Hu Bufeng said: "Can you see the injuries on these people? If I am not mistaken, this person is from the Dao Sect."
The soldier exclaimed in a low voice, "It's Daozong!"
Hu Bufeng nodded and said: "The young master of the Shen family back then was said to be extremely intelligent from birth. He never cried or made trouble, and was a master of everything he learned. He was a well-known child prodigy. It was also said that he liked to watch movies since he was a child. Some Taoist teachings..."
The soldier understood the meaning of the words, but still felt that his general was a little too suspicious, and there was no connection between what happened back then and today.
"General, you are worrying too much. There are too many prodigies in the world, and what if it is the young master of the Shen family? He is just a commoner. Besides, didn't everyone in the Shen family die that day?"
"No, there is still one person alive."
Hu Bufeng's eyes were blurry and he murmured: "There are twenty-seven members of the Shen family, but only twenty-six bodies were found later."
The trusted soldier's eyes widened and he asked doubtfully: "Twenty-six bodies. Didn't the notice from the government say twenty-seven bodies?"
"Because the incident was too weird at the time, people in the capital and the capital city had a theory that they couldn't believe. Because it was too shocking, they didn't make it public."
Hu Bufeng looked at the wounds on the young man's body and said solemnly: "This may be true."
The soldier asked: "What speculation is this?"
Hu Bufeng looked at the trusted soldiers in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally said: "Back then, there was a powerful monk in Nanhe City, and that night, no other practitioners came here at all."
"Among the twenty-seven corpses of the Shen family, only the young master is missing."
"And the most important thing, the wounds on nine of them are exactly the same as the wounds today."
"Today...the murderer went to...Shen's Mansion."
The confidant soldier's eyes tightened when he heard this, and he broke out in cold sweat. He shouted: "General, you are saying that the practitioner today is the young master of the Shen family, and... and he And he killed it with his own hands...killed..." This chapter has been completed!
