"On the sixth day, you can't bet all your money on Tan Zhonglu's words! She is crazy! Sixth day!" Ye Weiliao tried to argue with him, but Feng Pingping refused to listen, and just walked away behind his back.

The place where we came all the way through the mountains and rivers looks a bit rough. There are five houses in the front and back. The mountains and rocks are stacked and the walls are pasted with mud and hay.The dry fence in front of the house surrounded a small courtyard, and a small field was reclaimed in the courtyard, where some strange-shaped herbs were planted.

Feng Pingping walked to the main room, untied the fur roll on his back, stood Ye Weiliao at the door, supported him with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to push the door.Just when a gap was opened, he sniffed lightly, then suddenly withdrew and went through the door, disappearing in an instant.Leaving Ye Weiliao staggering from side to side at the door and nearly falling over, he struggled forward and leaned against the door frame.

"The sixth day!" Ye Weiliao shouted towards the door.

There was no one answering the door, only the sound of doors opening one after another and running in and out, and then completely quiet after a while.

Ye Weiliao didn't respond to his screams, so he had to jump up straight and strenuously. He jumped over the threshold and almost fell again. Finally, I was able to jump into the house.Pass through the main room, jump into the main room and enter, the back door opens, and there is a small house across an open space with a small door and small windows, and there is a faint smell of fishy smell.

Ye Weiliao jumped outside the small door, wrinkled his nose and asked, "The sixth day? Are you there? I'll come in."

The door frame was too low, and he hit his head even when he jumped over the threshold, and he finally stopped by rubbing against the wooden frame beside him. In front of him was a snake room.Rows of wooden cages were placed on the wooden frames on both sides, inside which were thick and thin coiled snakes of various colors, a few pieces of dead wood were thrown in the ground, there were also dead wood on the table, and there was a tree with the same color as the fallen leaves around the branch. Almost the same tiny snake.

"A lot of snakes..." Ye Weiliao was startled.

Fortunately, it was winter, and the fire in the room had been extinguished for an unknown period of time, and it was so cold that the snakes were too frozen to move.Ye Weiliao tried his best to look at the other end of the wooden frame. Feng Pingping stood in front of the innermost narrow wall and did not move.

He jumped a few more times, stood close, tilted his head with all his strength, and followed Feng Pingping to look at the narrow wall.Blood was splattered on the wall, and a large amount of blood like splashed ink spread across half of the wall.Beneath the bloodstains, a headless corpse sat down, its necks were severed, and a dent cut into the blood-red wall.

The corpse was dressed in commoner clothes, with a thin figure, the lower half of one sleeve was empty, and the other cuff and palm were chopped off at the wrist, and the ground was also covered with dried blood.There was a small red snake swimming through the blood stains on the ground, slowly climbing up its legs.

With a wave of Feng Pingping's hand, the scimitar picked up the little snake, cut it in mid-air and fell down piece by piece.

"Is this Tan Zhonglu?" Ye Weiliao asked carefully.

Feng Pingping leaned over and lifted his left sleeve with the tip of the machete, his arm was broken at the elbow, it was indeed Tan Zhonglu's old injury.

"The head and right hand were taken away?" Ye Weiliao asked. "I did, but I didn't." Feng Pingping replied briefly, he had already looked at several rooms before Ye Weiliao jumped in.

"This is strange..."

Ye Weiliao lowered his head and thought, when a cold curved blade suddenly came under his eyes again, wiped the curly fur and stuffed it into his neck, forcing him to jump back and hit the wooden frame backwards.The cages on both sides vibrated, and the snake was also startled, only listening to the sound of countless "hissing" and spitting letters in the gaps between the planks.Ye Weiliao glared at Feng Pingping, not daring to disturb the snakes anymore, and silently cried out in pain.

"Who did you hear about my uncle from? When did you arrive in Shuangxi Town?" Feng Pingping frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Sixth day..."

"Don't call me the sixth day."

"I didn't kill your uncle." Ye Weiliao looked up at him calmly and said.

Feng Pingping lowered his head and moved closer, a pair of eyebrows that could have been turned into knives would have pierced Ye Weiliao's forehead, and stared at his face without blinking, the corners of his eyes were still a little red.

"The sixth day, it's okay, I will help you, let's find out who killed your uncle together." Ye Weiliao said softly.

Feng Pingping held the knife with one hand, and the scimitar was wrapped around his neck, while the other hand grasped his shoulder through the fur, grasping very hard, as if he was trying to control himself not to send the knife forward, and cut into him. in the flesh and blood.Ye Weiliao looked at him and smiled, straightened up like he was making an inch, and moved his neck forward to face the blade.Feng Pingping's wrist trembled slightly, and the scimitar was withdrawn a little.

Ye Weiliao raised his head violently, and bumped Feng Pingping's forehead forward, with a "boom", both sides were knocked dizzy.

"You..." Feng Pingping stared at him, not knowing what to say about him.

"Aren't you stupid on the sixth day! I didn't teach you to be so stupid! Why did I kill Tan Zhonglu? Kill her so that I can take you away? Then I don't want to bury the body far away or burn it clean so I have to put it away." I'm here for you to see? Do I have to make you unhappy? Do I have to make you doubt me? Even if I'm so bad, I'm trying to harm you, play with you, scare you, you know Tan Zhonglu's kung fu best, and I can easily Did she kill her? With my kung fu so advanced, you can still be tied like a zongzi! What are you doing with me? Without Tan Zhonglu, you wouldn’t be able to tell if I’m your brother or not? I don’t care who lied to you or anything, I'm here now, you have to recognize it! You have followed Tan Zhonglu all these years, you are sad when she dies, and I raised you with shit and piss! Are you so difficult for me? You are good!" Ye Weiliao was so angry that he scolded him head and face without hesitation.

"I..." Feng Pingping felt a little guilty and breathless after being scolded by him, and couldn't make any noise, so he drew his knife and retreated from the opposite wooden frame, covering his head with one hand and pressing the red and swollen lump.

"Untie it for me! It doesn't matter whether you are really big or small!" Ye Weiliao took advantage of the situation and shouted.

Feng Pingping shook his head vigorously, although he felt guilty, he still didn't listen to him.

"Wait until I come out and beat you!"

Feng Pingping curled his lips, staring at the ground and not looking at him.

"Then tell me, why on earth is your stupid mind suspicious of me?" Ye Weiliao asked helplessly, unable to think.

"What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!"

"There have always been people chasing and killing my uncle and me. There were many in the early years, and then gradually less and less people fled. With so many people, my uncle still took me with me, and she didn't die. When you appeared, she died."

"In short, you just don't believe me, thinking that I am someone from unknown background who intends to harm you, forget it, don't bother with you, you have no one to trust except your uncle these years... I will tell you, even if I want to Kill her, even if I have the ability to kill her, I won't kill her rashly before I see you, and I won't even leave her the whole body." Ye Weiliao sighed softly and said : "Collect her body first."

Feng Pingping blinked, nodded slightly, finally agreed with him, and walked towards the corpse.

Suddenly there were a few soft noises outside, Feng Pingping stopped, raised his head and looked at Ye Weiliao, Ye Weiliao shook his head lightly, but he didn't know who it was.

More than one person came, and the sound of footsteps rose and fell one after another, walking unhurriedly to the outside of the snake room and standing back and forth at a distance.Feng Pingping held the knife in his hand, Ye Weiliao stared at him and motioned for him to untie the leather strap, but he blinked, pretending not to know.Ye Weiliao was so angry that he cursed at him with his mouth, he turned around and softly moved towards the door.

"The three corpses are strict enough to see the young master!" A person outside the door exhaled loudly.

Feng Pingping turned around and looked at Ye Weiliao again, this time Ye Weiliao blinked and said silently, "Maybe they killed Tan Zhonglu?"

"The disciples of the Three Corpses are strictly bound to see the young master!" The person outside the door shouted again without hearing a response, paused, waited, and then shouted in another way: "The disciples of the Three Corpses are strictly respected by the Master!" Order, lead the crowd to welcome the young master back to the mountain, and please see the young master!"

"It's really the Gate of Three Corpses... This group of lingering ghosts recognize some young master and marry randomly! To find such a ghostly place, could it be that they followed you all the way into the mountain from Shuangxi Town?" Ye Weiliao asked in a low voice.

"You yelled all the way and attracted them." Feng Pingping said.

"Blame me? It's not you who tied me up!" Ye Weiliao said.

The person outside the door was still shouting, and took two steps forward, shouting louder.Feng Pingping stared at Ye Weiliao for a while, then turned around, opened the door and strode out of the snake room.

"Wait, you untie me first..." Ye Weiliao yelled for a while, but didn't stop.

There were six people of different shapes standing on the open space outside the door, five of them were at the back, and one was at the front. There was a hint of a smile that was not a smile, making people uncertain what his plans were, and his upright standing posture was somewhat majestic.

"Yan Dede, a member of the Three Corpses Sect, led the crowd to meet the young master!" Yan Dede took the lead and bowed, and the five people behind him knelt on one knee and bowed their hands in a big salute. Similar, without losing the style, my Three Corpse Sect really has a successor! Congratulations! Master Hong Sect will be very pleased to know!"

"I'm not some young master," Feng Pingping turned sideways to accept their ceremony, and asked directly, "Which of you killed Tan Zhonglu?"

"Tan Zhonglu is dead?" Yan Dede sounded very surprised, thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates dare not! The subordinates will never dare to offend the young master, elders and uncles! Although Mr. Qin is not a disciple, he is with the three The family of corpses has a deep history, and he is a senior respected by everyone in the sect. The young master is serious! Mr. Qin suffered a misfortune, and all the disciples of the three corpses are grieving. I hope to help the young master find the murderer as soon as possible. Mr. Qin will take revenge!"

"Aren't the three corpses chasing and killing us?" Feng Pingping looked at him expressionlessly, and said Pingping.

"It was the time when the head of the closed sect passed away unfortunately, and the new sect master had not yet taken over. When the three corpses were leaderless, everyone acted indiscriminately. It was inevitable that some people who were not good-looking wanted to murder the young master. Later, the master of the Hong sect took over and put a lot of restraint on him. Those who should be punished, those who should be killed, those who should be driven out have also been driven out. It's a pity that the young master has gone away with Mr. Tan, and there is no news. The three corpses have been searching hard for several years, and recently finally found the young master. The whereabouts are really a blessing in our sect. The subordinates have come to welcome the young master under the order of the head of the Hong sect, and please return to the mountain gate regardless of the past!" After Yan Dede finished speaking, five people behind him shouted: Please young master return to the mountain gate!"

"Yesterday there were three guards waiting for me in the town, trying to kill me." Feng Pingping said.

"That's strange, I'm afraid someone pretended to be a member of the Three Corpses' sect and tried to drive a wedge between them." Yan De said.

This man speaks sincerely, answers fluently, opens his eyes and speaks nonsense very beautifully.Feng Pingping knew that he was no good, so he simply shut up, walked forward a few steps, passed Yan Dede and stood in front of the five people standing behind him, and walked slowly from left to right to see the five people one by one.

These people are still younger than Yan Dede, and everyone looks tired, and they have been wandering in the mountains for many days looking for it.Being watched by Feng Pingping, some of them dodged their eyes, some stared straight ahead without moving, and another boy with thick eyebrows who was about his age rolled his eyes and glared at him in disbelief.

"Young master, don't worry too much. There is a letter written by Master Hong himself. Please read it." Yan Dede stood still, turned sideways and presented the letter with both hands.

Feng Pingping ignored him and walked up to the fourth person at his own pace. This person had a yellow face, short chin, fleshy cheeks, fierce eyes, and forced the corners of his mouth into a stiff smile.Feng Pingping's footsteps paused, and suddenly there was a "plop" at the door of the snake room behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a fur scroll jumping out of the door, knocking his head on the door frame, dizzy and finally fell, and fell obliquely on the ground in front of the door.

Before Feng Pingping could react, there was a soft "clang", and the five men had already waved their weapons and attacked him.
