Vol 5 Chapter 745: Unraveling the cocoon, 7 passions make meritorious service

Chapter 745

"My lord, be careful." In the small courtyard, Ji Zhong stabbed at Chen Luo with his sword.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Luo was slightly distracted.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he had just come here, wrote "Swordsman", understood "How about Dai Zong", and dragged Xiao Ji, who was still a Confucian scholar, to try tricks for him.

Time flies, time flies, and the two playful teenagers in the past are now masters of the second-rank realm.

this distant memory...

It was all over a year ago.

What the elder brother said is right, being in the same era as the Lord of the Path is a great fortune!

Oh, yes, I am the master of the way.

Some memories of the past flashed by, and Chen Luo came back to his senses. At this time, Ji Zhong's Broken Sword's rising sword light was less than three inches away from him. With a thought, Chen Luo's martial arts supernatural power "Great Teleportation of the Universe" was activated, and he distorted instantly Space, avoiding Ji Zhong's sword light, raised his hand to grab Ji Zhong's arm.

Just raising his hand, Chen Luo's palm seemed to cover the sky and the sun, making people feel that there was nowhere to escape.

This is not because of Chen Luo's fast speed, which caused the phantom, but the illusion produced by the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand who practiced to the supernatural realm.

"Just wait for the young master to make a move." The corner of Ji Zhong's mouth curled up slightly, and suddenly he flew half sideways, and the broken sword in his hand swiped towards Chen Luo's dragon claw hand phantom. An inexplicable aura.

Where the Broken Sword crossed, Chen Luo's dragon-clawed phantoms shattered one by one. A look of surprise flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and the shape of his hand changed into a magical power of "a consonant finger", which directly crushed the Broken Sword. Jian Jianmang.

"This trick is a bit interesting, it seems to be designed to break the illusion." Chen Luo laughed.

Ji Zhong took a step back, condensed the broken sword light again, and replied in his mouth: "It's the 'Illusion Breaking Style' I comprehended!"

Chen Luo wanted to try Ji Zhong again, so he took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Ji, be careful, I'm serious."

After finishing speaking, Chen Luo stepped out of the martial arts avatar, and that martial arts avatar displayed several martial arts supernatural powers in an instant. Ji Zhong raised his sword to meet him, but he was not defeated by the violent attack of Chen Luo's martial arts avatar, and occasionally had a chance to fight back .

"Hmm... It's a bit like 'Dugu Nine Swords' breaking the world's martial arts." Chen Luo stood aside, watching the scene where Ji Zhong cracked all kinds of martial arts supernatural powers of the martial arts avatar, touched his chin, and then took a sudden step, once again Fitting together with the Martial Dao clone, the power of his shots soared in an instant, Ji Zhong barely blocked seven or eight rounds, and there was a lot of danger, he had no choice but to jump back and shook his head.

"Young Master is amazing, Xiao Ji admits defeat."

Chen Luo laughed: "Your current combat power is already comparable to the strong ones in the first rank."

Chen Luo commented, to be honest, he never expected Ji Zhong to have such combat power. This is not an ordinary fight by jumping over the ranks, but a fight against the strong in the next higher level.

"It's far worse than the young master." Ji Zhong put away the broken sword and straddled his waist.

Chen Luo shook his head. He really put his strength into this battle. At least he didn't use the Dao Master's unique avenue coercion, the blood bonus brought by the blood body transformation, and the messy magical powers like Qiqing. It's just a competition of supernatural powers. If it is fully deployed, according to Chen Luo's estimation, it is probably a peak saint, seeking the level of a great Confucian.

It can't be top-notch, but there are still first-class levels.

"Those moves that break ten thousand spells with one sword are your new Dugu Nine Swords?" Chen Luo sat on a chair, poured a cup of tea, and asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded, "There are nine tricks in total."

As Xiao Ji spoke, he pulled out his broken sword and began to demonstrate.

"Breaking Confucianism, breaking Taoism, and breaking Buddhism; responding to the three classics with the implication of the world."

"Speed-breaking style, breaking-force style, and breaking-style style; this is what I learned when I fought against the barbarians, and I should deal with the physically strong."

"Illusion-breaking style, god-breaking style, and empty-breaking style; these are the moves taught to me by the gentlemen of the Martial Arts Academy, and let me comprehend the moves.

Chen Luo watched carefully. Although as a master of martial arts, he could actually feed back the information of these moves from the avenue, but martial arts are complicated, and he usually didn't pay special attention to them.

After reading it, Chen Luo was also amazed. He never expected that Ji Zhong actually realized this otherworldly version of "Dugu Nine Swords". In Chen Luo's view, the prototype of this new Dugu Nine Swords already has good potential. All that's left is to keep polishing, to iterate... no, to improve.

At this time, Chen Luo recalled that in the Crystal Demon Realm, in order to protect himself, Ji Zhong fought to the death with the semi-sage of the Fang family who descended with a ray of power through Fang Xiujie's spirit, and finally the scene of Confucianism being broken.

At last, he lived up to his promise back then, and made Xiao Ji have a bright future in martial arts!

"I won't talk about the moves of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism." Chen Luo motioned Ji Zhong to sit down, and said, "The connotation of the world of mortals is the foundation. If you understand the spiritual realm of eight thousand miles, you will have a new breakthrough. "

"As for the remaining six moves, they deal with those who are strong in physical body and spells, but barbarians have one style, and monsters have another style. Right now, your moves are more suitable for dealing with barbarians."

"If you have the opportunity to go to Nanhuang, you should be rewarded."

"Yes, Mr. Xie for your guidance." Ji Zhong nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Qing hurried over, seeing Xiao Qing's expression, Chen Luo frowned slightly, as if feeling that something was happening again.

"My lord." Xiao Qing came in front of Chen Luo and said, "The six gates of the Qing'an Mansion took the letter from the lord to the Xuesi yamen, asking Xuezheng to recall Min Youwei, but..."

"What? Can't get in touch?" Chen Luo asked.

Xiao Qing nodded.

"Lawless!" Chen Luo slapped the table suddenly and cursed sharply.

As Tang Anshi's only close person, and perhaps the only insider, it's hard not to remind people of his disappearance at this time.

That's an official officially granted the seal by the imperial court, a dignified fifth-rank vice-president of the Yifu.

"My lord (my lord), calm down!" Ji Zhong and Xiao Qing said hastily.

Chen Luo took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Qing: "What's going on?"

Xiao Qing said: "According to Xuezheng, Min Youwei approached Xuezheng half a month ago and said that he felt that someone was watching him all the time, so he planned to go out to avoid the limelight under the pretext of inspecting Xuezheng, and asked Xuezheng to watch it for him. The Gu family."

Chen Luo had adjusted his mentality at this time, took a sip of tea, and listened to Xiao Qing's report.

"Min Youwei has always kept in touch with Xuezheng. Until five days ago, Xuezheng could no longer contact Min Youwei."

"Five days ago?" Chen Luo pondered for a while, "The day when Enke started the exam."

Immediately, Chen Luo frowned: "Min Youwei is missing, why didn't he report it?"

"According to what he said, he has already written the papers for the report." Xiao Qing also showed a hint of anger on his face, "But I saw the news of Tang Zhuangyuan's death from the mansion newspaper."

"He was worried that reporting Min Youwei's disappearance at this time would add fuel to the flames, so he planned to hide it temporarily and report it after the limelight passed."

"Hmph!" Chen Luo snorted coldly, "Afraid of adding fuel to the fire? I think it's because I'm afraid of getting burned."

"This Xuezheng will be an official."

"Record it in the record first, and when Tang Anshi's case is settled, let the Metropolitan Procuratorate come to investigate this Xuezheng carefully!"

"No, let me check all the government offices in Qing'an Mansion!"

"Yes." Xiao Qing bowed his hands and accepted the order.

"Young master, what should we do now?" Ji Zhong asked, "Min Xuezheng's clues are broken, how can we continue to investigate?"

Chen Luo picked up the teacup, blew off the froth on it, took a sip, and said softly, "Didn't they be delivered to your door?"

An Huairen opened his eyes, saw himself lying in his room, and was taken aback for a moment.

Strange, didn't I trouble Cao Ning and get captured by them?

No, that person is not Cao Ning, but Chen Luo!

An Huairen sat up suddenly from the bed.

No matter how he got home, the news must be told to grandpa.

Chen Luo went to Qing'an Mansion in person, and their Shuangmu'an family couldn't stand this matter anymore, so they had to ask Qi Shui'an's family to come forward.

"My lord, why did you do it so early?" A glutinous voice sounded beside An Huairen. An Huairen was startled, and when he saw the woman lying beside him, his face turned pale and he fell off the bed to the ground. .

With a look of panic on his face, he pointed at the person on the bed, trembling all over, and asked in a daze, "Green Pearl? You...you aren't..."

"I...what's the matter with me?" The delicate woman on the bed also sat up and looked at An Huairen, "Didn't the servants do a good job of serving you last night?"

At this time, An Huairen was so frightened that he got up in a panic and was about to run outside, but the door couldn't be opened for some reason.

"Oh, I remember now..." At this time, that glutinous voice sounded behind An Huairen again.

"My slave, he's already dead..."

An Huairen turned her head, and saw Lu Zhu standing naked on the bed, her belly bulging like a ball, her whole body was dripping wet, her hair covered her face, and drops of water dripped down the ends of her hair. People are like being picked out of the water.

"Ah—" Seeing this situation, An Huairen slammed into the door like crazy, trying to break through and escape.

This is the biggest secret in An Huairen's heart, and it is also his biggest fear.

Luzhu is the mother's personal servant girl.

When he was fifteen years old, he forcibly raped Luzhu while his mother was away.

Later, Luzhu became pregnant. In order to cover it up, he used the name of swimming in the lake to push Luzhu into the water and drowned.

What, why did it suddenly appear?

"My lord, I'm so cold..." Luzhu on the bed slowly got out of bed, her voice was no longer waxy, but with a hint of crying, "I can't breathe..."

"Young master, hug me..."

Luzhu opened her hand, revealing her face that was mutilated by the fish and shrimps at the bottom of the lake, walking towards An Huairen.

"Don't come here!"

"Help!"

"anyone there?"

An Huairen hid from Lu Zhu in the room, shouting in his mouth, hoping that someone would come to rescue him.

The green bead suddenly stopped in place.

"Young master, why are you avoiding me?"

"My family is pregnant with your flesh and blood."

"Look, this is your child!"

As she spoke, Luzhu raised her hand, and the fingernails suddenly grew longer. She pressed her fingernails on her belly, and then suddenly inserted them in, and immediately blood flowed out from her belly.

But Luzhu didn't seem to feel it, she showed a terrifying smile to An Huairen: "I'll let the child see you right now."

As she said that, Luzhu's fingers moved slowly, cutting open her belly...

"Stop!" An Huairen sat up suddenly, gasping for breath. At this moment, he realized that he was in a secret room. The green beads and the children were all a dream.

At this moment, a voice rang in his ear: "How much do you know about Tang Anshi?"

An Huairen turned his head and saw Chen Luo sitting beside his bed, with Ji Zhong standing behind him.

"Chen...Chen Luo?"

"It's me." Chen Luo nodded, "I want to know about Tang Anshi."

"I don't know!" An Huairen shook his head, "I don't know what Tang Anshi is."

Chen Luo was not surprised when he heard this, and nodded.

"Okay, then you rest for a while, I will ask you later!"

As he spoke, Chen Luo stretched out his hand and touched An Huairen's forehead. An Huairen's pupils suddenly shrank, then he closed them slightly, and fell back on the bed.

After a while, An Huairen was seen twitching all over on the bed, shouting: "Don't come...don't come..."

"My lord, do you know what he is afraid of?" Ji Zhong looked at An Huairen curiously and asked.

Chen Luo shook his head: "The essence of the supernatural power of fear is to draw out the deepest fear in a person's heart. It is just an introduction. Unless I search for the soul, I don't know what he is afraid of?"

"But it seems that his guilt is quite serious."

"Ah—" An Huairen yelled, and sat up on the bed again. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, panting heavily.

"Now, can you tell me about Tang Anshi?" Chen Luo asked.

An Huairen turned his head to look at Chen Luo, with a look of anger on his face: "It's you...you did the trick, right?"

"I don't know anything about what you're asking."

Chen Luo was not angry either, and nodded: "It's okay, I have time."

After finishing speaking, Chen Luo stretched out his hand again and touched An Huairen's forehead, causing An Huairen to fall down again.

"I was wrong-"

"Don't come, don't come..."

"Help..."

Hearing An Huairen's screams, Ji Zhong couldn't help feeling chills down his back.

Just now the young master said that this move is to assist the warriors in their cultivation?

Which warrior can stand such a test!

A moment later, An Huairen woke up again from a scream.

"Chen Luo, if you are capable, you can kill me..."

Chen Luo once again pointed at his forehead.

Another period of time passed.

"Chen Luo, you are despicable..."

"Chen Luo, I really don't know..."

"Master Faxiang, I beg you to let go..."

"Wait, I said, I said, I said..."

"My lord." Ji Zhong looked at Chen Luo helplessly, "Just now he seemed willing to talk."

Chen Luo nodded: "Well, my hands are slippery, hurry up."

"It's okay, wait a little longer."

At this time, An Huairen looked haggard, his eyes dull, and looked at Chen Luo: "I say, I say."

Chen Luo clapped his hands: "It would have been better if it had been like this earlier."

An Huairen looked at Chen Luo.

That's what I said just now, and you still did it.

An Huairen opened his mouth: "I want to drink a glass of water."

Chen Luo winked at Ji Zhong, Ji Zhong poured a glass of water and handed it to An Huairen.

An Huairen took the water glass, his hand was still shaking, he hastily grasped the trembling hand with his other hand, reluctantly passed the water glass to his mouth, and took a big gulp.

"I really don't know much about Tang Anshi's matter. The elders in the family are handling it." An Huairen said slowly, "But what the outside world doesn't know is that although An Qing was betrothed to my elder brother, the process has not yet gone through. After all, strictly speaking, she is not the daughter-in-law of my Shuangmulin family."

"It's just that Qi Shui'an's family put pressure on my Shuangmu's family to resist this incident. For the sake of the family's dignity, they had to arrest Tang Anshi."

Seeing Chen Luo's suspicious expression, An Huairen quickly said: "This is absolutely true. The coffin brought by Qi Shui'an's family is an empty coffin. The Shuangmu An's family has never seen the real An Qing's corpse!"

"Isn't even the dead body buried in my Shuangmu Anjia's ancestral grave, how can I be considered a member of my Shuangmu Anjia!"

Chen Luo frowned slightly, and asked again: "Why did the Qi Shui'an family do this?"

An Huairen shook his head: "I don't know either."

"However, it may be related to An Qing and Tang Anshi's private decision for life."

"You also know that the Qi Shui'an family is based on etiquette and morality, and the family style is more important than life."

"The daughter of the head of the family has a skin-to-skin relationship with a man in private. This kind of thing is unacceptable to them."

"Let my family handle it. It can be said that An Qing is a married daughter and has the least impact on the family's reputation."

Chen Luo frowned slightly.

Is the truth really that simple?

"Do you know the whereabouts of Vice Xuezheng Min Youwei?" Chen Luo asked again.

Hearing this sentence, An Huairen was startled for a moment, and was about to shake his head when he saw Chen Luo raised his hand, nodded quickly and said, "I knew it before, but I don't know it now."

"But I, Shuangmu Anjia, really didn't do anything!"

Chen Luo frowned, "What do you mean?"

An Huairen sighed softly: "On the night five days ago, someone from the Qi Shui An family dragged a seriously injured person into my house. Afterwards, he was directly locked in the dungeon at home."

"Because he was worried about people talking too much, the elders asked us direct descendants to be responsible for the healing of that person."

"I just found out that the person who was seriously injured was Deputy Xuezheng Master Min!"

"If an imperial official dies, the official seal will react. It must be because he is worried that he will be traced by the higher authorities, so he wants to hang him!"

Chen Luo's eyes lit up: "So Master Min is in your secret room now?"

An Huairen shook his head: "Three days ago, it was my third younger brother's turn to take care of him, but when he went to the secret room, he found that it was empty and Lord Min was rescued."

"That's why we searched the whole city. Just after you posted a post on Mr. Min's house, I got the news and came to the inn directly to find you."

Chen Luo thought for a while and asked, "Do you know who the Qi Shui'an family member who attacked Min Youwei was?"

An Huairen shook his head: "This person has some magic tricks to cover up his face. With my level of cultivation, I can't see through it at all."

Chen Luo nodded, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

Although An Huairen's confession was similar to Na Wenya's, it pulled Shuangmu Anjia out of the case.

If what he said was true, then the person who ambushed and killed Tang Anshi outside Zhongjing City should also be a member of Qi Shui'an's family!

Tut tut.

Going round and round and finally falling on the toughest bone to crack?

Hmph, that's okay, I'm fighting the elite!

However, judging from the current news, Min Youwei only assisted Tang Anshi to escape from Qing'an Mansion. It is unreasonable for Qi Shui'an's family to take a big risk to attack Min Youwei.

Or, it was from Min Youwei who pressed Tang Anshi for information, with the purpose of hunting down Tang Anshi. However, Min Youwei's actions must have used the authority of an official. As long as Xuezheng and even the higher-level Xuesi Yamen are asked to investigate the traces of mobilizing official skills in the official seal, they will soon be able to find out.

There's no need to be as troublesome as An Huairen said.

Of course, there is a second possibility.

Silence!

Min Youwei knows what he shouldn't know! And this matter is related to Tang Anshi!

Even Tang Anshi's death was related to this incident!

What Anqing, what private life, these are all pretense!

An Huairen's words gave Chen Luo a new direction for the whole case.

The key is to find Min Youwei!

After leaving An Huairen's room, Chen Luo and Ji Zhong returned to the study.

Chen Luo looked at Xiao Ji, and suddenly thought that now he also had guards with strong martial arts skills.

At this time, that sentence should be said.

"Xiao Ji, what do you think!" Chen Luo asked with a smile.

"I thought that Shuanglin An's family had a great Confucian in charge, and Min Youwei was seriously injured and was locked in a secret room. If there is no internal response, unless it is a top-notch Quest Confucian or even a semi-sage, it is almost impossible to save Min Youwei quietly. Walk."

"Well, Shuangmu An's family must have thought of this." Chen Luo nodded, "An Huairen didn't explain it, which means they didn't find the problem."

Chen Luo thought for a while: "There is another possibility—space supernatural powers."

"When I was in the Southern Wilderness, I once saw a channel built by a pangolin sage, which is the top space supernatural power. If someone who has mastered this kind of supernatural power makes a move, even if the cultivation level is not so high, it is possible to lead people from the secret room. let's go."

When the two were discussing, they suddenly stopped talking, looked at each other, and looked at a corner of the study. Chen Luo picked up the teacup and looked at it with great interest, while Ji Zhong's hand clenched the hilt of the broken sword.

After a while, the space in the corner of the study was distorted, as if it had been hollowed out by something, and then, a thin and small man jumped out of it.

But just as he appeared, Ji Zhong's sword pointed at him.

"I don't have any malice, I don't have any malice!" The skinny man raised his hands high and screamed.

"Xiao Ji!" Chen Luo shouted, and the dagger in Ji Zhong's hand stopped an inch from the man's throat.

Chen Luo looked at the thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a thin rat tail wrapped around his waist.

It turned out to be a rat demon!

Chen Luo was a little surprised. Rat monsters were rarely seen in Nanhuang.

According to legend, before the monster clan moved to Nanhuang, Nanhuang was the world of the rat clan, and the mighty tide of rat monsters made even the ancestor monsters frightened.

After going through several battles, the Yaozu finally broke up the Rat Clan, and almost wiped out all the bloodlines of the ancestor demons and most of the blood of the Great Sage, and the Rat Clan fell into a lonely state.

Unexpectedly, in this human race, you can still see the formed rat demon.

It's just a cultivation base, a general of the sixth rank, just a little spirit demon.

"Rat demon, you came to the wrong place to steal something." Ji Zhong shouted coldly.

But the mouse demon smiled slightly, looked at Chen Luo, ignored the broken sword on his neck, and said, "I'm going to be polite here."

"Your Excellency, don't blame me. It's really helpless to enter the house abruptly, and there is no malice."

"I just want to come here to discuss a business with you, but your maid is very unreasonable and refuses to let me see you. There is really no other way, so I made such a bad plan. Forgive me."

Listening to the rat demon's self-introduction, Chen Luo couldn't help but smile and said, "What deal do you want to discuss with me?"

The rat demon looked at Ji Zhong's broken sword, Chen Luo waved his hand, and Ji Zhong took back the broken sword.

The mouse monster slapped the storage bag, and a big bag flew out immediately. The mouse monster opened the pocket, and it was full of gold ingots, weighing a hundred catties.

"Here is a thousand taels of gold." The mouse demon smiled, "I want to buy some righteous energy crystals from your Excellency, and the price is easy to negotiate."

"If you have more goods in your hands, you can add more money."

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback, glanced at the bag full of gold, and said with a smile: "You rat monsters, what do you want Zhengqi Jing to do?"

Shu Ce hesitated for a moment, then said, "Save someone."

Chen Luo wanted to ask again, but Shu Ce waved his hand: "You don't need to ask, no matter how much information you have, I have nothing to say."

Chen Luo nodded, patted the storage bag, took out ten righteous energy crystals, and arranged them on the table.

"Since it's saving people, take the money back. How can I not say anything about saving people from my human race?"

"I'm in a hurry to go out, so I don't have much to bring, only these."

Na Shu Ce nodded when he saw the righteous energy crystals on the table, and stretched out the mouse tail flexibly behind him, wrapped them up one by one, and took them back.

"One yard owned by a yard."

"It's our job to save people, we have to repay our kindness, and we don't need to waste your money."

"I'll keep this gold~www.wuxiamtl.com~Whether it's for my own use or for the poor, that's the son's business, I don't care about it."

"Farewell."

After finishing speaking, this bunch of policies turned around, jumped directly into the hole in the space behind him, and disappeared. Immediately, the space fluctuated and returned to normal.

"Master?" Ji Zhong looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo nodded: "My small courtyard has arranged a Taoist formation, but it was broken by him, a little spirit monster. It's a good talent."

"Using righteous energy crystals to save people, it seems that the other party is seriously injured."

Chen Luo stood up, walked out of the study, and said, "Let's go, follow and have a look."

"I left a trace of soul power on the righteous energy crystal."

"Yes!" Ji Zhong responded, and followed Chen Luo out of the study...

Well, the case should be over tomorrow.
