On the sequelae of suspended animation + voice

Chapter 14: Fighting

It was supposed to be a silent night, but the inn was as noisy as a busy city during the day.

When Zong Nian arrived with his senior brother, the room where the accident happened was already full of people.In the middle of the room lay the disciple's body, his face covered by a white cloth, and the edge of the white cloth was stained with dark bloodstains. The strong contrast between the two colors gave Zong Nian a chill.

With the corpse as the boundary, the people in the room were clearly divided into two camps, and they were glaring at each other.You don't need to look at their costumes to know that they are people from the Tianxiao and Taichu sects.

"...You Taichu faction are too deceptive. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't give up easily!" Meng Fan, the only acquaintance of Zong Nian in the crowd, had red eyes, and his eyes were full of hatred, biting the person in front of him.

"It's nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that the person was killed by our Taichu Sect?" The person who answered stood at the front, and the Taichu Sect disciples behind him all looked forward to him.This person should be Meng Fan's deadly enemy - Geng Yifei, the chief disciple of the Taichu Sect.

At this time, Geng Yifei's face was also full of gloom. In the middle of the night, before he could figure out what was going on, he was grabbed and quarreled by his rivals, insisting that he give Tianxiaopai an explanation.

"Have you killed someone but dare not admit it? In vain you Taichu sect is also a famous sect, but now you are bullying others, don't think that we are easy to bully! If you don't hand over the murderer today, don't think of leaving this sect!"

"you--"

There was a lot of tension between the two of them, and if the people around them didn't stop them, they would have almost started fighting.

You can't just watch the two fight, Yue Xiao hastily stopped him, and persuaded him between them. "Wait a minute, you two!" Among the people present, they were the only three people who could be regarded as outsiders, and among them, Yue Xiao had the closest relationship with Meng Fan.

He was already warm-hearted, but at this moment he decided to take what seemed like a big trouble to him.

"Brother Yue, don't stop me! I have to ask my junior sister for an explanation today!" Meng Fan's eyes turned red anxiously, and as he said that, he went to get the big sword that was put aside.

He spoke so rudely that Geng Yifei couldn't bear it for a long time, and he also took a serious posture, and the decisive battle between the two was imminent.

"I can't do it!" Seeing this, Yue Xiao shouted loudly, regardless of maintaining his image, "Even if Brother Meng wanted to ask for an explanation, he had to produce evidence! Otherwise, how could the Taichu sect plead guilty sincerely? "

As soon as this remark came out, the two people who were angry on their heads calmed down a little.

After a pause, Geng Yifei snorted coldly: "A confession? What is the fault of the Taichu faction? It's clearly Meng Fan who spat blood!" "Of course I have the evidence!" Meng Fan retorted through gritted teeth.

"It's right on top of that corpse! It's just that my younger sister's bones are not cold—" Meng Fan paused, seeming to feel guilt and hatred, "Even if she is already dead, how could I let you take her body casually?" Look!"

As soon as Meng Fan said this, the disciples of the Tianxiao Sect behind him couldn't help but their eyes were red, and they were excited.

Zong Nian, who had been standing on the periphery of the crowd, couldn't help being taken aback.Before, he had always preconceived that the disciple who was murdered was a man, but he didn't expect it to be Meng Fanzhen's beloved junior sister.

The corners of his eyes twitched, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, and turning his head to look at Lu Shao, he saw that he was also frowning, thinking about something.

"You won't let me see the body, how do I know that the evidence you mentioned can definitely prove that our Taichu faction killed someone?" Although the Tianxiao faction confirmed the fact that they were aggressive, at this moment Geng Yifei calmed down instead and just sneered .

"You—" The emotional Meng Fan couldn't control it anymore, pushed away Yue Xiao who was standing between the two of them, and punched Geng Yifei's chest aggressively.

The two of them fought in a ball in an instant, and the remaining disciples of the two factions saw that their leaders were fighting, so they no longer restrained themselves, and it turned into a scuffle between the two factions in a short time.

Yue Xiao's skill is not bad, although he was bent on persuading a fight, but if he stayed in the chaotic crowd for a second longer, he might be injured, so he had to dodge a few moves.

"Junior brother, what should I do?" He was anxious, the first thing he did when he got out was to discuss with Zong Nian, this small room could not accommodate so many people fighting.

Zong Nian felt that what happened tonight was very strange, but finding the cause was not what he should do right now, the most urgent thing was to stop this sudden and inexplicable chaos.

He settled down, and thought of the most direct solution in his mind.Zong Nian comforted Yue Xiao first: "Senior brother, don't panic. Brother Meng and Geng Yifei have similar kung fu skills, and they shouldn't be easily injured for a while. Let's restrain the disciples of the two factions first, and then work together to separate the two."

"Okay!" As soon as Yue's joke fell, he flew into the crowd who were slapping red eyes.

Zong Nian also activated his mental method and stepped forward to help.He didn't say anything to Lu Shao from the beginning to the end, but just gave him a look, and Lu Shao immediately understood his thoughts.

With all the dharma in his body, Zong Nian was like a fish in water in this chaos.Those disciples were completely focused on the battle in front of them, and it was even more difficult for them to notice Zong Nian who suddenly appeared beside him. Either he was knocked unconscious by a knife in his hand, or his hands were cut behind his back if he didn't notice, so he had to surrender obediently.

It only took some time, and the only ones still fighting in the room were Meng Fan and Geng Yifei.I have to say that a large part of this is due to Zong Nian's contribution. If he meets those disciples who are not low in skill head-on, it may take more time.

What he showed surprised Lu Shao, and he even took a chance to whisper in his ear: "I didn't expect Ji Zhi to be so powerful. If he sells himself to me, he might become a famous assassin."

I also want to know that this person's focus is on the four words "sell yourself to him".Zong Nian naturally ignored his nasty words, and just spoke in a serious manner.

"The only thing left is to separate these two people, and that's about it."

Both Meng Fan and Geng Yifei are well-known knights in the Jianghu, and it is really not an easy matter to separate the two.

Yue Xiao said from the side, "I was still having a headache just now on how to restrain him safely and effectively, but my brother's skill opened my eyes. You will find an opportunity to attack Brother Meng later. He didn't use a sword this time, so you should compare him to him." It's easier to sneak attack Geng Yifei. Mr. Lu and I are going to contain Geng Yifei at the same time."

"Look for a chance to stun Meng Fan, he is short-tempered and difficult to communicate with," Lu Shao added.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded knowingly, and then acted as planned.

Not counting the reunion with Lu Shao, this was Zong Nian's first real fight with someone.He saw the right moment, held his breath and stooped behind Meng Fan, trying to deal with him as he had just dealt with his disciples.However, although Meng Fan used a sword, his internal strength was not bad.Before Zong Nian's sharp knife fell, he was aware of it, and he squatted down with his head tilted to make Zong Nian feel empty.

At this time, Lu Shao and Yue Xiao had already seized the opportunity to pester Geng Yifei, leaving Meng Fan free to fight Zong Nian.

"Brother Zong, don't stop me!" Meng Fan yelled, and he kept gathering strength to punch.However, although Zong Nian was not as strong as him in his hands, he was nimble, dodging to the left and jumping to the right, hiding his aura so tightly that he lost all his punches.

Meng Fan, who had a lot of time to spare, became more impatient and anxious to subdue the person in front of him.Out of the corner of his eyes during the battle, he caught his giant sword leaning quietly against the wall, the blade gleaming with stern light, as if expressing his eagerness to join the battle.Meng Fan's heart moved, and he turned sideways to avoid Zong Nian's palm, and took advantage of the situation to deflect his body, and he would be able to grab his beloved sword immediately——

And before he was happy, he felt his eyes darken, and he fell down in front of the sword with a plop.

Zong Nian, who succeeded in the sneak attack, stood aside, his chest was still heaving violently, panting non-stop, but he couldn't help showing a hint of a smile.Just now he noticed the sword that Meng Fan put aside, guessed that his thoughts led him to the sword, caught the gap when his attention was diverted, and successfully knocked Meng Fan unconscious.

At the same time, Yue Xiao and Lu Shao also managed to get Geng Yifei to stop.

"Now, I can finally sit down calmly and talk about this strange matter tonight." Yue Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.However, after experiencing so many fights, the room was already in a mess, and the disciples of the two factions were lying in different positions.

Even the corpse that hadn't been dealt with in time was knocked out of place in the chaos, and the white cloth covering its face fell off, revealing a pale and delicate face with closed eyes.

Zong Nian walked over unbearably, and covered the white cloth back.He has seen this girl once or twice, but he doesn't have a deep impression. He only knows that she is fifteen years old and has never left the Tianxiao School. This time, she came out to play with Meng Fan and see the world.

During the day, she was still a lively and lovely little girl, but now she turned into a cold corpse, which can only make people sigh that the world is impermanent.

What happened next was many and complicated. Fortunately, Geng Yifei, who calmed down, understood what they were doing. Together with Yue Xiao, he asked the disciples who were still awake to help the unconscious disciple back to the room, and then moved Meng Fan, who was still unconscious, to the room. After giving orders on the bed in the room, only the three of Zong Nian, Geng Yifei and one of his juniors were left in the room.

"This... the corpse is just left like this?" Zong Nian felt a little bit unbearable and puzzled seeing that they only missed the corpse after so many orders.

Knowing his doubts, Yue Xiao liked his kindness, so he patiently explained: "Junior brother has intentions. It's just that the position of the corpse can reveal many clues. When the truth comes to light, this girl will naturally be cleared."

Zong Nian suddenly realized and nodded, and thanked senior brother again.Lu Shao, who was standing beside him, sneered a little. Who wouldn't say that, if he hadn't been taken ahead by Yue Xiao, he would be the one being thanked by Ji Zhi at this moment.

"Geng Xiashi, please forgive me for the offense just now." Yue Xiao said to Geng Yifei, seeing Geng Yifei waving his hand, he continued: "The three of us are disciples of the Zhanfeng Sect, and we were invited to attend the Treasure Appraisal Conference this time. Although a bit reckless, But we can't just ignore such a big thing. Brother Meng is still awake, can you please explain the cause of the incident one by one?"

Geng Yifei had seen the three people in front of him before.Although they were acquainted with Meng Fan, they were not as emotionally indiscriminate as Meng Fan. Perhaps this was the opposite... Geng Yifei was hesitant to let them intervene in this matter, but now he made up his mind.

He glanced at Meng Fan who was still lying on the bed, and said slowly.

"Although I believe that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Absolute Beginning Sect, if something is found out later, I won't cover up the disciple regardless of right and wrong." He waved his hand and called the disciple behind him over.

"Wei Yu, step forward."

The author has something to say:

Brother Yue: Don't fight!do not fight!Whoever is right, I will give him gold!Fighting must also follow the basic law!

It was agreed that it would be three shifts, and I don't know how much I can code today.

In short, the first more participation!
