The crew members sighed while walking towards the back of the ship...
Although everyone on the ship was already aware of the monk's death last night, the crew was not stupid enough to carry out the monk's body before the guests disembarked. Now that all the guests have left, they can naturally carry it out...
In a corner on the shore dozens of meters away from the ship, more than ten pairs of eyes were staring at the ship.
It wasn't until he saw that the crew had carried out a body covered with white cloth from the back of the ship that one of the most silent eyes flickered slightly.
"grown ups…"
Standing next to him, a short man with a rather capable expression had been paying attention to the expression of this tall middle-aged man. When he saw his eyes twinkling, he called out softly.
The tall man was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "Take someone up and take the body away."
"yes!"
The short man's eyes flashed, and he bowed in response. Immediately, he made a gesture, and four or five men around him immediately followed him. There were about six people in the group, and they headed directly towards the ship in a swaggering manner...
The tall man stood quietly, turned his head and looked around, a stern look flashed between his brows, and then his eyes were fixed on the body covered with white cloth that was carried out by the crew. He looked around.
His expression twitched slightly, a hint of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes, but his fists were clenched tightly...
…
"A few of these are..."
On the ship, just as the crew was preparing to carry the monk's body off the ship, six men with indifferent expressions came to the front of the ship.
One of the crew members was slightly startled, but seeing that the other man's expression was clearly not easy to offend, he immediately spoke cautiously and doubtfully.
The person in charge was the short man. He glanced at the body carried by several crew members, frowned, and asked, "Is this the monk's body?"
Several crew members were stunned, and it was obvious that some of them had not recovered their senses.
"We are members of the 'City Guard' here. Someone just told us that your ship was attacked by bandits last night and a monk died... right?"
The short man didn't wait for the crew members to reply, then he frowned and asked impatiently.
Several crew members were stunned. Could it be that some enthusiastic guests went to the ‘City Guard’ to report first?…
"You four, take the body over."
Before the crew members could speak, the short man had already turned his head and spoke to the people behind him. Those people immediately walked up to the crew members.
Seeing this posture, the crew members who were about to speak suddenly did not dare to say anything more...
"Master, I'd like to trouble you to take a trip..."
A crew member who thought quickly spoke quickly.
As soon as the crew member spoke, the others quickly stepped aside. Four men took down the monk's body, which was covered with white cloth.
The short man walked up to him, lifted up the white cloth and took a look...it was the monk...
Looking at the monk's dull pupils, a look of surprise flashed across the little young man's eyes involuntarily... He was no stranger to this monk. When he was still alive, his aura was extremely astonishing. The little man couldn't help but feel shocked.
I didn't even have the courage to look at him. I didn't expect that in just a few days... such a strong man would die in such an unknown way...
An indescribable strange feeling arose in the heart of the short young man. He took a deep breath and his expression suddenly became calm. He waved his hand and said no more, then he carried the monk's body and strode away. No.
After a while, he disappeared into the crowd...
"Captain, did you just let them take you away like this? I don't think they are from the 'City Guard'..."
One of the crew members finally couldn't help but asked.
The captain, who was in his forties or fifties with slightly gray temples, glared at him when he heard this and said, "So what?... They are obviously determined to get the monk's body. Are you telling me to reject them?"
The crew member was stunned, laughed, and did not dare to speak anymore...
Yes, what does it matter whether it is or not?... Strictly speaking, this monk has little to do with them anyway... If they hadn't considered that the other guests didn't think so, they would have thrown the monk's body into the river on the spot.
It's natural... In these troubled times, even life may not be guaranteed, let alone a corpse?
Now since someone wants it, then just give it to them... Why cause unnecessary trouble because of this?...
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, pack up and get ready to drink!..."
After the captain took a deep breath, he suddenly turned around and said loudly. The crew was stunned for a moment, and then cheered... The matter of the corpse was immediately forgotten...
…
Walk along the small stall market along the coast of 'Jianning Port', and after a short time, you can truly enter the 'Ningjian City'.
‘Ning Jiancheng’ is the capital of Jianning Prefecture, and its level of prosperity is even greater than that of Tiandu City in ‘Tiandu Prefecture’.
On the wide road, horses and vehicles pass by like water, and people shuttle in an endless stream. There are shops on both sides of the street, and the goods in the shops are even more dazzling, including clothes, clothes, food, etc.
There is everything to drink and use. It is really very prosperous.
A group of more than ten people were walking out of the 'Jianning Port'... The leader was a tall man.
This man is about forty years old, with a resolute face and a rather strong beard... Wearing a yellow cloth shirt, walking like a dragon and a tiger, while looking around, you can see the hidden meaning in his silent eyes.
A bit of deeply buried murderous intent and anger.
In the team behind him, there were four men carrying an object covered by a white cloth... It looked like a corpse...
They walked out of the market directly, but they aroused the curious eyes of many pedestrians around... Some wanted to take a closer look at what was being carried. But when they saw the silent eyes of the middle-aged man in front of them, they didn't know why.
Even after a slight jump, no one dared to step forward...
Just like that, they walked out of the market and followed one direction...
After walking for about ten minutes, they entered a residential alley. Under the curious eyes of the residents in the alley, they entered one of the low and inconspicuous houses.
Middle... This kind of house is very common around here. In fact, almost everyone lives in a room like this...
"Sir, they are coming..."
The house looks very ordinary from the outside, but only after entering it can you find... This small courtyard is actually filled with guards wearing black clothes. When this group of people opened the door and walked in, at least there were
More than twenty eyes were immediately focused on them.
But the expression of the person in charge did not change at all, and he continued to walk inside.
On the first seat of the hall, a white-faced young man was sitting on it. Hearing the whispered words of his confidants in his ears, he raised his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he stood up.
Finally, more than ten people led by the tall middle-aged man came to the hall and stood still.
"Son."
Putting down the things wrapped in white cloth, everyone except the middle-aged man bowed respectfully towards the white-faced young man.
The middle-aged man walked to the side and sat down silently. He picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
The young man waved his hand casually, and the group of people immediately lined up on both sides without saying anything more. But the young man looked at the tall middle-aged man. After his eyes flashed slightly, he said softly: "Senior, hard work
Okay...have you found anything?"
The middle-aged man drank the tea and was silent for a moment. A low and hoarse voice slowly came out from his mouth: "Either the other party is extremely powerful, surpassing the initial cultivation level of the 'Congtian Realm'...or the other party is extremely cautious.
He left the ship before going ashore...I didn't notice it."
"Didn't you find it?" The white-faced young man's eyes flashed slightly, and then he nodded slightly, looking at the thing wrapped in white cloth, and said softly: "Then... Senior Black Buddha's body must have been seen by senior.
.Maybe you can see some clues?"
As he spoke, he looked at the tall middle-aged man again.
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly showed a hint of sadness and restrained anger, and his eyes looked at the white cloth silently. After a full moment, he took a deep breath, and the hoarse voice came from his mouth again.
Ex: "There are no injuries on Black Buddha's body, everything is normal. But his pupils are dilated, gray-white in color, and have lost all their luster... This is a sign of the destruction of his soul."
"Soul broken?" The white-faced young man suddenly frowned, showing some doubts.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and said hoarsely: "It's the secret method of soul attack..."
"Secret method of soul attack?..."
For the first time, a look of surprise flashed across the face of the white-faced young man who had always been calm...
However, this hint of surprise was only fleeting and was suppressed by him.
"Are you sure?"
The white-faced young man looked at the middle-aged man.
"Absolutely sure."
The middle-aged man returns.
The white-faced young man took a deep breath and sat back in his seat. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, turned his eyes to the middle of the hall, and said slowly: "Senior Black Buddha is a friend of the young lady. Because of the young lady, he
He died because of something, we should remember this...someone comes, take the body of our senior out and bury him alive."
Immediately, there were more than ten guards around who bowed to accept the order, walked to the main hall, lifted up the monk's body, and then walked outside.
"Sir, if there is nothing else to do... I would like to send Black Buddha off for his final journey..."
The middle-aged man stood up at this time and whispered.
"Of course." The white-faced young man nodded, with just the right amount of regret in his tone.
