The Tale Never Ends

Views:

Ever since he got Xiaojiu, Jiang Laowai has been like a fish in water, hanging out with Xiaojiu every day, forgetting his wife and other concubines. The madam and the other concubines were so angry that they cursed the vixen, looking at him holding his breath, but they were helpless. Especially the eighth aunt, every time she saw Xiaojiu, she would curse fiercely: "You are a bad person, you will die suddenly sooner or later!"

It didn't take long, and the eighth aunt was killed violently, and her head was chopped off until only a tiny bit of her head was connected to her chest! The county magistrate came to check, but there were no clues!

So rumors spread about this matter. Some said that Xiao Jiu did it, some said that Xiao Jiu must have had an adulterer in the past, and some said that Xiao Jiu hired a murderer to kill! But what was said the most was, "This Xiaojiu is a trouble for the family and is unlucky! He killed his own husband and brought misfortune to the Jiang family!" After such an incident, the wife and other concubines added fuel to the flames, saying that if this continues, the family It will ruin your luck and you will never be prosperous in the future. In desperation, Jiang Laowai drove Xiao Jiu away.

Xiaojiu was kicked out of his home and had no place to go, so he lived in an abandoned temple. This temple is dedicated to neither Buddha nor Taoism. I don’t know what kind of god it is dedicated to. Some old people said that this temple was built by southern merchants when they came to the north to do business, and it was their god of wealth. Later, when the war broke out and all the southerners left, the temple was abandoned.

A beautiful young woman lived here, and some bachelors and bachelors started to make plans to stay here! So everyone often saw people walking into that temple. There were guanghun, Erliuzi, passers-by, etc., all idle people, but no one had ever noticed anyone coming out of the temple!

Next, people disappeared one after another. A lustful only son of a certain family disappeared. Someone saw him entering the ruined temple and never came out, so he reported the case. The county magistrate led people into the temple to search and found the names of all the missing persons. The bodies were all inside, all with their heads missing, but the woman was not found. Many people died, and things were getting serious now. The county magistrate issued an arrest document and posted a list to arrest the woman!

After the list was posted, there were no clues. When Qiao Yu, the county magistrate, was at a loss, he had no choice but to turn to his trump card. When Wu Ending Sanjue left, the young man with the negative sword left a brocade box for himself, saying that when he needed to find three people, he would open the brocade box and the three of them would naturally know and come over.

Speaking of which, the county magistrate Qiao Yu respectfully took out the brocade box and opened it, and a black air came out. At ten minutes before noon, a police officer reported from outside, saying that Wu Zhong San Jue had arrived! Qiao Zhixian hurriedly picked them up, and the four of them sat down in the back hall, eating tea. Qiao Zhixian told them what happened recently. The three said that they would take them to the ruined temple to investigate in the afternoon. Qiao Zhixian immediately arranged a banquet to entertain the three masters.

After dinner, several masters brought their tools and followed Qiao Zhixian to the ruined temple. Most of the corpses had been taken away, except for the body of a monk, which was still in the ruined temple because no temple claimed it. Qiao Zhixian asked the three of them: "What is this thing offered in this temple? Why have I never seen it anywhere else!" The young man with the sword on his face said with a black line on his face: "This is offered to the God of Five Powers. Only people with evil intentions in the south can do it." To offer this, it seems that this temple was built by people from the south. Since all the wives and daughters of this strange woman have been beaten, the temple is of no use at all." Qiao Yu asked again: "Since the wives and daughters of lewd men don't do good things. , why do you still have to provide for him?" The young man carrying the sword laughed and said: "It is difficult for people in the world to restrain their selfish desires, so God is the god of evil wealth. Some people will use any means to get rich!" Qiao Zhixian also shook his head helplessly.

The young man carrying the sword immediately took out the gourd and shook it at the monk's wound. A black energy floated into the air. Then the young man waved and motioned for everyone to follow him. But I saw three young people heading east. After a few miles, a courtyard appeared in front. The young man with the sword once again took out the gourd to draw back the black energy. Someone who knew the police told Qiao Zhixian: "This courtyard was originally a Shanxi merchant's courtyard. It has a rockery cloister and a lotus pond." , very luxurious, and later sold to a man named Liu!" The man with the sword whispered to Qiao Zhixian: "You guys are watching from a distance outside, and the three of us went in to play." Qiao Zhixian knew very well about this so-called prank. I'm afraid it's not a good thing to say, so he nodded and took the others to the side.

The three of them pushed the door open and entered the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard was a paved path, surrounded by flowers and plants planted on the ground, with unknown flowers blooming. There is a rockery in the middle and in the front. The rockery is built in a pool.

The three of them came to the middle of the courtyard, when a cold wind blew up, chilling people to the bone. The short young man shuddered and quickly raised his hands to calculate.

The young man carrying the sword looked at him and asked: "How is it?" The calculating young man replied: "It's strange, the hexagram shows that noble people help." While the two were talking, the rockery in front suddenly slowly floated up from its roots. Dark fog, two bright lights faintly revealed in the fog!

The young man who was calculating was startled and suddenly shouted: "Holy crap, what is this?" The young man with the sword took out the gourd and pulled out the stopper, and said: "The owner of this courtyard is named Liu! Don't you understand? Those two lamps are Its eyes! Haven't you seen "Journey to the West"!?" Before he finished speaking, a steel fork was stabbed directly from the opposite side of "Brush" and headed straight towards the three of them. Soon enough, there was a crisp "snap" sound, and the heroic young man's long whip came from bottom to top, directly touching the steel fork, and the steel fork immediately retracted!

The whip-wielding young man cursed: "Who are you scaring by spitting out snake letters?" Then in the black mist, the protruding part of the steel fork shrank back, and a stream of black smoke mixed with flames came directly towards the three of them. The young man carrying the sword took his time and raised his palm, and a dazzling fire flashed out. I saw the young man throwing the flame in his hand towards the black smoke! "Bang!" The black smoke and the flames in it were swallowed up immediately, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

An object flew past in the black mist and swept directly towards the three of them. It was the tail of a large python. What was strange was that the position of the three people seemed to change instantly and the tail swept away. Then the tail spun around and rolled over. But the strange thing is that no matter how the tail is rolled up, it always comes up empty and cannot touch the three of them!

In the black fog, a broken gong-like voice came: "Zhu Mei, get out of here!" A wretched-looking and extremely ugly dwarf appeared out of thin air in the yard, and the three young men almost said in unison, "Five!" uncle!?"

Zhu Mei walked away with a confused look on his face, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Zhu Mei didn't recognize the three of them at all. But at this moment, there was no time to think so much. The sword on the young man's back flew into the air and circled. Suddenly, it turned into several sword shadows and shot directly into the black mist. The black mist dissipated in an instant! A large python appears in its true form. Several long swords in the air slid toward the snake's tail, and black blood spattered everywhere. In the blink of an eye, they turned into pieces. Zhu Mei shrank away and couldn't help but shout, "Beautiful!"

Except for the monster, the young man's sword returned to its sheath automatically and he bowed to Zhu Mei. Zhu Mei asked: "What a sword-controlling technique! Just now, the three children called Zhu Mei the fifth uncle. They probably know about our 'Six Tigers Beyond the Great Wall', but I don't know which friend's son he is?"

Three of you, look at me and I look at you. In the end, the young man carrying the sword smiled awkwardly and said: "There are some things that cannot be revealed. Three hundred years later, the fifth uncle will know about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clang, and the sword in the young man's sheath popped out again! All three of them said "Huh". The young man carrying the sword took out the gourd and released six evil wolves. The wolf sniffed in the garden and circled in one direction. Just a moment later, a woman's scream was heard. Four people chased them behind the rockery and saw a woman surrounded by wolves. They were so scared that they held their heads and screamed!

The young man with the sword took back the wolf spirit and asked her: "Who are you? Why did you help the tiger?" The woman was extremely frightened and replied in a trembling voice: "This little girl was originally a child bride and married a demented husband. Later, she was attacked by a masked man. Rape, the little girl struggled and pulled off the black cloth covering the man's face, only to find that it was her father-in-law. After he saw me and his appearance, he simply strangled me to death, and then strangled my neck with a rope to create a fake scene of hanging. After my death, I will be controlled by the python spirit, and I will confuse men for him and help him practice."

The young man carrying the sword thought for a moment and said, "Although I am being controlled, I still can't keep you because you have killed too many people. It would be better for you to disappear into thin air!" He took out the gourd and took the woman away.

Let’s not talk about how the three young men negotiated with Qiao Zhixian and what Zhu Mei did when he came here.

Let's say that in Wu Ending City, a young master Dong was getting married today and rode to the countryside to pick up his bride. Passing by a forest, a woman suddenly jumped out and pulled Mr. Dong off his horse. The man who was accompanying him to pick up the bride hurriedly helped the young man up, only to find that both the young master and the woman were dead.

The wedding procession was immediately in chaos. A servant hurriedly rode on Mr. Dong's horse, patted the horse and went to invite the doctor. When the doctor arrived, he just shook his head. It turned out that this man was already cold. The name was Guan Tian, and the matter was quickly reported to Qiao Yu's desk!
