Mortal bone
Chapter 23 Gaefeng Hall, 2 Disciple Lions Speak
According to Liu Qingmei, Lu Chen is the nephew of an elder of the fifth peak, and he will definitely be protected by the sect, so he will not be so stupid as to hand over the corpses of Xun Chenxiang and Liu Qingmei directly.
"If what Sister Qingmei said is true, with Lu Chen's sinister personality, maybe he will try to find the person who reported the crime, and then kill me to silence him."
Xu Ye thought to himself while dragging Liu Qingmei's body back to the courtyard.
……
"Bang!~"
That night, Xu Taiping's bedroom in the Green Bamboo Residence suddenly heard a huge explosion, followed by Xu Taiping's slightly immature voice angrily saying:
"brute!"
After placing Liu Qingmei's body, he lit a stick of Xunchen Incense, and from the scene where the smoke of Xunchen Incense gathered, he saw the scenes of Lu Chen torturing Liu Qingmei.
The scene he saw was far from being able to be described in a few simple words. The reason why he called Lu Chen a beast was because he knew only a few swear words, and because Lu Chen's behavior was no better than a beast.
"Sister Qingmei, I will definitely hand over this Xunchenxiang to Sister Zijin, and I will definitely make your grievances and Lu Chen's crimes known to the public."
Xu Taiping put away the last two sticks of Xun Chenxiang, clenched his fists tightly, staring blankly at the table on the ground which he smashed into pieces.
He doesn't think he is a chivalrous person, and even thinks that he can be selfish in order to survive, but if a villain like Lu Chen can't get bad rewards, it will make him doubt the meaning of being a human being.
"Grandpa often said that seeing is not seeing, but even if I close my eyes now, I still can't forget the scene of Sister Qingmei begging for mercy from that beast."
Xu Taiping looked at the pile of crumbs on the table, and his tone became extremely cold.
……
The next day, noon.
"You reported the case?"
Two men in robes of disciples of Qingxuanzong came to the gate of Xu Taiping's small courtyard.
"Senior brothers, I reported the case."
Xu Taiping responded politely.
"You, an outer disciple, deserve to be called our senior brother?"
The hook-nosed man standing on the left gave Xu Taiping a vicious look.
These two disciples belonged to the Gaefeng Hall of the West Wind Pavilion, which specialized in dealing with the disciples at the foot of the mountain being attacked by monsters. Although they were both at the foot of the mountain, they were real inner disciples, and their status was only slightly lower than that of the Qifeng disciples.
"If you have something to say, don't get close to it."
Another disciple with a pockmarked face waved his hand impatiently.
So Xu Taiping stopped talking, and told the two disciples of Liefeng Hall that he met the ghost and was attacked by the monster driven by the ghost.
Of course, he omitted everything related to Liu Qingmei.
"Your matter is very troublesome. I have to report it to the head of Gaefeng Hall first, then the head of the West Wind Pavilion, and then the head of the West Wind Pavilion to report to Elder Black Dragon to deal with it."
The pockmarked disciple touched his chin and said with a troubled expression.
"How long will it take?"
Xu Taiping hurriedly asked.
"It can be as fast as three months, and as slow as a year and a half."
The hooked-nosed man folded his hands on his chest, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gave Xu Taiping a sly look.
"It takes so long? Can you hurry up, that ghost has already set its sights on me."
Xu Taiping frowned all of a sudden.
"Do you think that our Liefengtang was opened for you alone, and you can deal with it whenever you want?"
The hooked-nosed man gave Xu Taiping a vicious look.
"Old Zuo, if you have something to say, what are you doing to the little brother so fiercely?"
The pockmarked disciple came out to smooth things over.
"Actually, it's not impossible for you to get rid of that ghost quickly."
He grinned at Xu Taiping, showing his yellow teeth.
"any solution?"
Xu Ye was also a little curious at this time.
"That depends on how much merit money you can give."
The pockmarked man stretched out his hand towards Xu Taiping, and rubbed his thumb and index finger together.
"It turns out that you are trying to blackmail us outer disciples in the name of eliminating demons. They are all such shameless people, so it's no wonder that Sister Qingmei can't trust you."
He secretly thought in his heart that he understood why Liu Qingmei hadn't reported the crime for so long.
"The two big brothers of Liefengtang, I have not been in Qingzhuju for a long time, and I really don't have much merit money."
Although he had already seen the true colors of these people, Xu Taiping still didn't expose them on the spot, wanting to see how shameless they could be.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have merit coins. You just need to wear this bracelet and sign a contract with us, promising to hand over [-]% of this year's harvest to my brothers, and we will naturally protect you from any worries."
The hooked-nosed man took out a copper bracelet from his pocket at this time.
"Seventy percent?"
Xu Taiping took a breath in his heart.
He thought that these people would open their mouths like a lion, but he didn't expect that [-]% would be charged if they opened their mouths. If the [-]% were distributed, he was afraid that they would be kicked out in the next year because they had no money to hand over to Qingxuanzong.
"Seventy percent is not too much. You have to know that you are being targeted by ghosts. If you make a mistake, you may lose your life!"
The pockmarked man threatened Xu Taiping.
The faces of these two people in front of him made Xu Taiping feel even more disgusted, and thought: "Sister Linglong is indeed right, at the foot of this mountain, you can only rely on yourself."
The last thought in his mind of relying on the sect to deal with that ghost was also extinguished.
However, in order to avoid causing conflicts, he did not refuse outright, so he looked puzzled:
"You two, [-]% is really too much, let me think about it again."
"you……"
"Okay, you think about it, this communication talisman is my gift to you, next time you meet a ghost, just tear up the talisman, and the two of us will be here soon."
The hooked nose was about to get angry, but was stopped by the pockmarked face, and then handed Xu Taiping a talisman.
"But we have to take this monster wolf away, it's a witness, and we have to bring it back to Gale Wind Hall."
The eagle hooked nose grabbed the leg of the monster wolf on the ground, and gave Xu Taiping another fierce look.
……
"The people in charge of the Outer Sect are all people like this. No wonder it is said that few Outer Sect disciples can survive for three years."
Looking at the figures of the two dragging the corpse of the monster wolf away, Xu Taiping murmured to himself.
"Brother, why did we leave like this? There is a medicine garden behind this kid's yard, and he can earn a lot of merit in a year. As long as the deed is signed and the bracelet is worn, he has to work day after day and year after year. Died for us."
"What's the rush? Ghosts hold grudges the most. After a while, he will definitely come to us obediently."
"Brother Gao Ming!"
"Keep your voice down!"
"Don't worry, this kid doesn't even have the ability to open the door, so he can't hear us."
Xu Taiping was about to enter the house, but suddenly he heard whispers from that pockmarked face and hooked nose.
He didn't expect these two people to be so vicious, and immediately glanced at the message talisman that pockmarked face gave him, and snorted coldly in his heart:
"Don't worry, that day won't happen."
"If what Sister Qingmei said is true, with Lu Chen's sinister personality, maybe he will try to find the person who reported the crime, and then kill me to silence him."
Xu Ye thought to himself while dragging Liu Qingmei's body back to the courtyard.
