The blood flowed back along the sword body, was blocked by the sword, and did not flow to Chen Changsheng's hand, but for some reason, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the blood, and even felt that his hand was a little wet and sticky, which was very uncomfortable , Then he remembered that this seemed to be the first time he had killed someone. He went from Xining Town to Kyoto, participated in the Ivy Banquet, the Great Court Examination, and battled, and then entered Zhou Garden. He fought many battles, but except for the couple who died in front of Zhou Mausoleum, no one died before him. Under the sword, so to speak, this store owner was the first person he killed.
The shop owner fell down slowly in front of him, his wide-open eyes were full of resignation and despair, and there was no trace of meanness on his face, only ashes.
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, pulled out the dagger from his belly, then remained silent for a while again, looked at Su Li, and expressed his doubts with his eyes—this shop owner doesn't look like a killer no matter what, On the contrary, there are many suspicious things about the waiter in the shop. Why did you borrow my sword to kill him, senior
He didn't misunderstand that Su Li was killing innocent people indiscriminately like those enthusiastic teenagers. He tried his best to keep calm and didn't make a judgment in advance. This is the best judgment, so Su Li was very satisfied and said, "If you want Ask me the reason why I killed him, it is difficult for me to explain in simple words."
Chen Changsheng said: "There is no murderous aura on him, nor does he have the true energy fluctuations of a practitioner."
Su Li put the porridge bowl in his hand on the table, pointed at the shop owner's corpse in a pool of blood with chopsticks, and said, "How can the shop owner not have any murderous intent when you open a big car shop in a place like Junzhai?"
Chen Changsheng thought about it and understood what he meant. This is indeed a suspicious point.
Su Li said: "And he is too much like a big car shop owner, mean and irritable... But in fact, this kind of image is just in line with the impression of a big car shop owner in the hearts of the people. A real big car shop owner, in this kind of Staying in such a dilapidated shop in a place where the birds don't shit, you can be indifferent, but you must be numb, how can you have so much mood to teach your own shop waiter?"
Chen Changsheng felt that his words were teaching himself, so he listened very carefully.
Su Li pointed at the shop owner's body with chopsticks, and continued: "Of course, these are just doubts, not evidence. The evidence is that there is no real energy fluctuation on his body, but there is breath."
Chen Changsheng lowered his head, rummaged through the owner of the shop for a while, and found a magic weapon in the shape of a jade pendant. This magic weapon can be used to suppress the fluctuation of true energy.
"I can't teach you this. When you cultivate to my level, you will naturally be able to perceive this kind of breath." After saying this, Su Li picked up the porridge bowl and continued his unfinished breakfast. Seeing his beaming face, It seems that I am very satisfied with the pickles provided by Dachedian.
"I thought it was the waiter at first, because he was too warm to us last night, and his hands..." Chen Changsheng looked at the waiter standing in front of the table, and his eyes fell on the tiger's mouth on his right hand. calluses, which may be a sign of prolonged sword holding. The waiter in the famous shop was pale and trembling, obviously frightened.
While eating the porridge, Su Li casually said, "The calluses on the tiger's mouth can be held not only with a sword, but also with a knife. A kitchen knife is also a knife."
Although a kitchen knife and a sword are two completely different things, there is really no difference between a kitchen knife handle and a sword hilt. Chen Changsheng looked down at the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and his breathing became a little short, because he suddenly Very scared. If Su Li hadn't poked him with his chopsticks just now, or if he would have stabbed the sword in the waiter's body, it would mean that he had killed an innocent person.
What if you kill the wrong person? A person has only one life, and if he kills the wrong person, it is a mistake, and there is no way to correct and make up for it. This is a fact that is difficult for him to accept.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
At this time, the shop waiter seemed to have just woken up, looked at the shop owner's body lying in a pool of blood, let out a scream of extreme horror, and rushed out of the shop, but panicked because of fear, tripped over the shop owner's body , fell heavily to the ground. Regardless of the pain, he frantically tried to get up, but was staggered by the sticky blood on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
Chen Changsheng was a little sorry, and stepped forward to help him up from the ground. At this moment, Su Li finally finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, put the empty porridge bowl on the table again, and then threw the chopsticks in his hand, looking very chic and dandy, but his The chopsticks seemed to be thrown casually, but they just hit somewhere in Chen Changsheng's rib.
A very weak but ingenious force entered Chen Changsheng's body, controlled his movements, made him turn sideways slightly, and at the same time stretched out his right hand forward like lightning.
The bloody dagger was still in his right hand.
With a puff, the sharp short sword easily pierced through a seemingly solid soft armor, pierced deeply into the chest of the waiter in the famous shop, and directly pierced his heart.
The shop clerk was shocked, his throat was humming, blood was overflowing from the corner of his lips, and he fell forward slowly to the ground, dying.
This time Chen Changsheng was really stunned, his face turned pale instantly.
At this time, the dagger was still deeply inserted into the chest of Xiaoer Dian, held in his hand, he seemed to be able to truly feel the whole process from the slow beating of the heart pierced by the sword to the complete silence.
He looked at Su Li with some unease. If Su Li couldn't give enough proof at this time, at least a stronger proof than the shop owner, then it would be difficult for him to accept what happened now. Well, since a strong proof is needed , then find it yourself. He turned the corpse over with slightly trembling hands, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the small crossbow that was clearly poisoned in the second-hand shopkeeper.
"Senior, how do you know this?"
He looked at Su Li no longer uneasy, but full of admiration.
Su Li said: "Didn't you hear that the shop owner has been scolding the shop waiter?"
At that time, Chen Changsheng's attention was focused on the details of the actions of the shop owner and waiter, and he didn't pay attention to these contents.
"The shop owner's scolding is very exciting and full of content. I mean the specific content. For example, the shop boy is too lazy to cook... What does this prove? It proves that they really know each other." Su Li stood up, looked at the two corpses in front of the table and said : "Or maybe it's a partner who grew up together? Who knows. Anyway, all I know is that a killer's partner must also be a killer."
Chen Changsheng once again felt admiration, thinking that success or failure is determined by the details, and experience is above all else, but these are all guesswork... What if the killing is wrong
"Wrong killing? That's wrong, what else can I do?"
Su Li said expressionlessly, then opened his arms and said, "What are you waiting for? Come here quickly."
Chen Changsheng came to his senses and asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Su Li said angrily, "Are you still waiting for the soldiers in the army camp to arrest you?"
Chen Changsheng didn't dare to say anything more, taking advantage of the bloody incident in the big car shop before the people in the army camp were disturbed, he carried Su Li on his back in the wind and snow and left towards the south.
…
…
In a black willow forest to the southeast of the army village, the two stopped for a while to rest.
Chen Changsheng was actually very puzzled. Since those who wanted to kill Su Li already knew his whereabouts, why did they hide their identity? It would be better to contact the Da Zhou military directly to obtain protection.
Su Li said: "Those two guys are just killers who don't appear on the stage. They may not even know who I am, but they just happen to be active in this area."
Chen Changsheng asked, "Who are these two killers?"
Su Li was really annoyed, and said, "It's been said that they are unworthy people, how do I know who they are?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "You mean, these two killers are just using money to do things, and if your identity is exposed, the one who comes may not be such a weak killer, but a real strong one?"
Su Li said: "It's a very simple truth, but it still needs such a detailed explanation? Why are you such a talkative little guy?"
Chen Changsheng thought to himself that although he was far from being taciturn, he was usually not very good at speaking, but senior, you are unpredictable, and you always feel a little confused if you don't ask to understand.
He insisted and asked: "In this case, why didn't the demons just release your whereabouts?"
Su Li said: "Because the black robe is not sure where I am, the characters he colluded with in the human world, or those characters who have a tacit understanding with him, are just all over the world looking for me. Of course, even those people After confirming my whereabouts, I will not release this news."
Chen Changsheng was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
Su Li said: "Because besides many people who want to kill me, there are also many people who want to help me."
Chen Changsheng didn't understand, could it be that after your whereabouts are known, senior, many people will come from thousands of miles to help you
"Who am I?" Su Li looked at him and asked seriously.
Chen Changsheng is now accustomed to his way of talking, he is a little tired, and he is also a little numb, and he answered quite mechanically: "Lishan Junior Martial Uncle, the strongest swordsman, the idol of the younger generation of practitioners."
Compared with Heilong, Su Li obviously only cared about superficial things. He didn't accuse him of answering without distraction, and said proudly: "This is not the end. Since I am the idol of many people, I know that I have been injured. Difficulty, those people are not in a hurry to save me?"
Chen Changsheng didn't want to continue this topic, and asked, "Senior, what should we do next?"
Su Li said: "Of course I want to hide it from everyone in the world and secretly send me back to Mount Li."
Chen Changsheng thought to himself that Mount Li was far away in the south of the mainland, more than tens of thousands of miles away, how difficult it would be to send it back to Mount Li, and let no one know... What will happen to those people who are worried about themselves
"Senior, why can't the people from Lishan come to pick you up?"
"Stupid, the mountain is the farthest from here. When my disciples and grandchildren come over, the day lily will be cold."
Chen Changsheng thought that the closest to here would be the Great Zhou Army, but you refused to look for it, so he couldn't help saying seriously: "Senior, I don't understand why you don't want to ask the Great Zhou Army for help. If it's a matter of face, then I can ask for help." , They will definitely send someone to send us back to Kyoto."
Su Li looked at him and said with a sneer, "Are you the dean of the Orthodox Academy amazing?"
Chen Changsheng thought to himself that although he, the dean of the Orthodox Academy, was nothing in front of you, senior, he should still have some weight to Da Zhou.
Su Li said, "But have you ever thought about how to hide my identity when all eyes are on you?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said sincerely: "Since those who want to kill you have already appeared, your identity and whereabouts will always be exposed. What you have to buy now is time. It is indeed too far from the mountain, and the capital is also too far away." , but the Da Zhou army is really close, as long as you show your identity, why do you need to worry about it?"
After all, it returned to the original suggestion, which was also the thing he didn't understand the most.
Su Li looked at him and sighed, "I really don't know if you are naive or stupid."
Chen Changsheng was stunned, not understanding what this meant.
Su Li looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You always say that I should ask the Great Zhou military for help, don't you know...the people in this continent who want me dead the most are you Zhou people?"
As soon as his voice fell, the snow on the black willow forest suddenly fell to the ground.
The sky and the earth are cold.
The ground trembled slightly, and in the distance, hundreds of cavalry rode across the snow field at high speed.
Those are the most elite snow riders of the Great Zhou Northern Army, and they seem to be searching for something.
