treacherous world

In the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion, everyone formed a circle. Xie Baihua sat on a stone stool in the middle of the yard, looking nervously at the people around him who were scrutinizing him seriously.There is an illusion of being locked in a cage for people to watch, not to mention that those people who look at me are enemies that I hated before.

Xie Baihua didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt that the ailments on her body had disappeared, and her whole body had come back to life. Her physical condition was similar to that before her martial arts was abolished, but her internal strength was a little higher in comparison.

But compared to Xie Baihua, it was the other people in Kaifeng Mansion who were more shocked.

Gongsun sat at the table and took his pulse, "The pulse is peaceful, it is indeed alive."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and Yinhou together, as if asking, "What's going on?"

The two looked at each other, struggling with the same question - how did they survive?How long can I live?Or is it just so immortal?

"Hello." Third Master Xu sized Xie Baihua up for a long time, "What about you? How do you feel?"

Xie Baihua shook his head, "Nothing special."

"Eh?" Xu Qing said with great interest, "Weren't you a sissy before? Are you done?"

Xie Baihua coughed in embarrassment, turned to look elsewhere, and saw Bao Zheng who was sitting not far away and staring at him.Thinking of the many wrong things she had done before, Xie Baihua didn't dare to look at Bao Zheng, she lowered her head, and saw a chubby boy sitting on top of a stone tablet, looking up at her with interest.

Probably there were not enough benches in the yard, so the fourth son just sat down on the tombstone that said "Tomb of Xie Baihua".

Little Sizi's round buttocks just pressed the word "flower".Xie Baihua stared at the tombstone.

Everyone followed his gaze, Gongsun quickly pulled the fourth son over, hugged him and sat on his lap, sitting on someone's tombstone is not very kind.

"Just now I thought you were dead, so I erected the monument." Zhan Zhao helped explain, "Don't mind."

Xie Baihua was silent for a while, then laughed in a low voice, "Mind? I didn't expect that someone would erect a monument for me."

Everyone saw that Xie Baihua had come back to life, but they couldn't figure out whether he was the original Xie Baihua or a brand new person.If he still persists, and now his eyeballs suddenly change color and his internal strength has increased, don't be self-defeating and run out a guy who is almost as difficult to deal with as a blood demon to bring disaster to the world.

Of course, Xie Baihua could see the mistrust and guard in everyone's eyes, but his state of mind was a little different from before.Can be reborn, does that mean that you can choose another jump to go again.He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Bai Yutang before he died—if he took another path, can you guarantee that that path is the correct one?

For a while, there was a stalemate in the yard.

Yin Hou asked Wu Bushan, "The one with the purple eyes belongs to the spider clan. Is there anything special about it?"

"Hmm...the Spider Clan used to be very small in number. I remember that they were a relatively good-tempered clan on the island, specializing in healing and saving lives."

After Wu Bushan finished speaking, everyone stared at him with their eyes wide open, staring at him in disbelief, and said in unison, "How is that possible?!"

Xie Baihua himself wanted to laugh when he heard it. It is acceptable to say that he specializes in harming people, but it is impossible to say that he specializes in curing diseases and saving people, let alone that he does not know medical skills.

"Thank you, lord, what are your plans next?"

It was Bao Zheng who was used to the scene and threw the topic to Xie Baihua who had come back to see what he had to say.

"I have killed a lot of people before. When I ate the blood demon guts, the three hunters, the little king who fought the watch, and some disciples and grandchildren of my Hundred Flowers League all died at my hands..." Xie Baihua said He sighed, "It seems that I don't have the qualifications to come back to life."

Bao Zheng nodded, "But you just came back to life, and now, you also have the talent that you dream of being different from ordinary people, don't you want to do something?"

Xie Baihua was taken aback for a moment, and everyone was a little puzzled—what kind of talent did Xie Baihua dream of?

Xie Baihua looked at Bai Yutang, he said this to Bai Yutang once before he died, did he tell Master Bao?

But to be honest, Bai Yutang had long forgotten what Xie Baihua had said to him, but he remembered it when Bao Zheng said it.

Bao Zheng smiled, looked at Xie Baihua, "Thank you, leader, how do you think the third master's tombstone is done?"

Xie Baihua looked at the tombstone and nodded, "Hmm... Your lord wants me to abandon the name of Xie Baihua and start a new life?"

"This house has a little bit of fate, I'll let you figure it out, your original name is not good." Bao Zheng said with a smile, "The flower character is too feminine for men, it is better to remove it, and become more open-minded and masculine from now on. And the hundred characters Too greedy, no one has everything good, since you have already died once, you simply lost the pursuit of the previous life, get rid of that word, and leave the white word. If Young Master Bai hadn't abolished your martial arts at the beginning, you would not have followed There will be no re-starting of this life. Although I don’t know what you think, whether your hatred for Bai Shaoxia is still there, but this government thinks that you should thank him, so why not call him Xie Bai?”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at Bao Zheng, which meant to ask——are you sure he has changed?The so-called country is easy to change and nature is hard to change. Although he died once, it is not just climbing up from the pit once!Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain and go out to harm others.

Everyone thought this way, Xie Baihua actually thought the same way, he looked at Bao Zheng, "Master Bao, do you think I can change my past?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, "It's not about rehabilitating, but a new beginning. You have committed a lot of sins before, but you have already died once! I regard you as a newcomer, and you should choose your own path."

Xie Baihua frowned, "Then if I go back to the Hundred Flowers League and continue to be Xie Baihua, my lord will not keep me? If I go out and still rush for quick success like before, my lord may not have enough evidence to arrest me."

"Your grandma's." Mr. Xu pointed to the tombstone, "That monument is still there, you might still use it."

Everyone looked at him and thought—that was the case.

Xie Baihua looked at the crowd, then turned around and asked Bao Zheng, "Master Bao, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Well... how about this? Since you have strange eyes, you must have a special fate. Before this strange case is solved, I suggest you stay in Kaifeng Mansion." Bao Zheng said, looking at Xie Baihua "Although you have died once, the living are still alive. Those innocent people killed by you are mourned by relatives and friends. You can't bring the dead back to life even if you die ten thousand times. Therefore, as many people as you have killed, you have to find a way How many more people can be saved!"

Xie Baihua was silent for a while, then nodded, "Thank you Master Bao for your reminder."

Therefore, Xie Baihua's tombstone was erected at the gate of the Baihua League's other courtyard, and he himself released the news——Xie Baihua was dead.

As for Kaifeng Mansion, there is an extra Xie Bai.This man was dressed in black, his appearance was similar to that of Xie Baihua back then, he was taciturn and withdrawn, he followed Bao Yan's side according to Bao Zheng's instructions.

Everyone felt that something was wrong, Xie Baihua was wrong after all, to put it bluntly, he still had a criminal record after a while, and Bao Yan didn't know martial arts, so don't be tricked by him or something.

However, except for a few important positions in Kaifeng Mansion, everyone didn't know where this Xie Bai appeared out of nowhere, and no one cared.

The first thing Xie Baihua had to do was to go to the Heavenly Prison to blackmail Xue Tianying and his son, and deceive him about the location of the Blood Demon.Although the two father and son were frightened by Zhe Ying and revealed many secrets, they were very afraid of Wu Bu'ai, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not hold back.In addition, the greed of the two fathers and sons is still there.It's hard for anyone to go at this time, but Xie Baihua might be able to succeed.

In the yard, Pang Yu tugged at Bao Yan and murmured, "That Xie Baihua is really trustworthy? Don't raise tigers for trouble!"

Bao Yan raised his brows and looked at him, "You've already changed it, so why not allow others to change it? Kaifeng Mansion even raises a little crab like you, why are you afraid of a tiger?"

Pang Yu immediately got a black line on his forehead, and rushed over to pinch Bao Yan, "You damn mantou, solid mantou, you actually made fun of me!"

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the door, they saw Bao Yan and Pang Yu pinching each other, while the youngest four sons were trying to persuade them to fight. In the distance, Tang Shitou and Yue Yang were playing chess. movement.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Oh, the next generation of Kaifeng Mansion is not united!"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, "Cat, don't speak in such an old man's tone."

Stepping forward to persuade Bao Yan and Pang Yu to leave, the fourth son came to ask Zhan Zhao, "Meow where did you go last night?"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, both a little embarrassed, remembering what happened last night.

"Tsk tsk." Pang Yu narrowed his eyes, "Why are you two blushing?"

Zhan Zhao coughed, and heard Yue Yang beside him say slowly, "I heard that Lord Wu donated a temple to Tiefo Temple, and asked Master Qing to write a post to thank Master Bao today."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were startled, thinking that the great monk didn't write anything, right?

Seeing that the two were worried, Pang Yu was delighted, "The Great Monk seems to be saying that the two of you have a great relationship with the Buddha, and asked you two to sit and sit often when you have time."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were angry at each other, this monk was too poor, he was so good that he got cheap!

Zhan Zhao sat down and teased with the fourth son for a while, then saw Bao Zheng and Xie Baihua coming out together, they should be called Xie Bai.

"The question came out." Bao Zheng nodded to everyone, signaling...all come! "

Immediately, everyone gathered in Bao Zheng's study.

"Xue Tianying said?" Yin Hou asked Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng nodded, "Xie Bai pretended to be Xie Baihua. He has something that Xue Tianying and the others want to know most, so he asked Wu Bumai's intentions."

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"Xue Tianying wants to know the most..." Zhan Zhao said to himself, and suddenly understood, "Xue Tianying wants to know how to become a blood demon?! He thought that Xie Baihua succeeded, because not only did he not die, but he lived It's getting better and better!"

"That's right, Xue Tianying knew that I would die soon, but he didn't expect that I was still alive, my eyes had changed color, and my internal strength had increased. This is what he wanted to know most." Xie Bai said, "He told Wu Bu'e's plan .”

"What plan?" Everyone frowned, feeling that it would not be a good thing.

"He wants the Tianya Valley to flow into rivers of blood a few days later, similar to sending a signal to complete a ceremony." Bao Zheng said, "The previous series of using Xue Tianying and the three sects to stir up righteous martial arts disputes is also to achieve this goal .”

"Why, is it interesting to kill so many people?" Everyone was puzzled.

"They don't know much, they only know that Wu Bu'e asked them to try their best to discredit the Heavenly Demon Palace during the Tianya Valley meeting, and most importantly, to kill Yinhou and Tianzun.

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

Yin Hou and Tianzun looked at each other, Tianzun held his chin, "We are both over 200 years old together, this life is so valuable, I can't think of it!"

"Yes." Yin Hou also nodded, "It's an old bone."

"You still have the mood to joke!" Zhan Zhao glared at Yin Hou, then turned to ask Xie Bai, "Didn't Xue Tianying say why Wu Bu'e did this?"

Xie Bai shook his head, "I think Xue Tianying only knows so much."

"It's only natural that Wu doesn't hate you two, after all, you were the ones who took his life back then." Bai Yutang looked at Yin Hou and Tianzun, "But why did you provoke the bloody storm in the Central Plains martial arts?"

"Why don't you let me lure Big Brother out?" Wu Bushan said suddenly, "Now that Xue Tianying has been arrested and Xie Baihua is dead, as long as you tell the Central Plains Wulin the truth, the Tianya Valley Conference will not be held, and Big Brother's identity will be exposed even more. The so-called fetching water from a bamboo basket has been busy for a while, and he wants to get something back no matter what."

"Something..." Bai Yutang nodded, "Mausoleum Weeping Blood Picture?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that Wu Bushan's suggestion was good, but how to lure him into the bait?Wu Bu'ai was startled at this time.

"The blood demon still needs blood." Wu Bushan whispered, "Now that the wind is so tight and there are few people going up the mountain, he may have reduced the amount of blood he sucks, but it is absolutely impossible not to suck it... In other words, he still has blood. will kill."

"Then he should hide in a place where there are many people and it is convenient to hide?" Bai Yutang thought about it, searched all the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, but found nothing.

"Yes!" Wu Bushan nodded, "Although birds and animals can make do with it, human blood is the best!"

"His blood demon skills haven't succeeded yet." Yin Hou looked at the crowd, "I guess the amount required is not small!"

"That's strange." Zhao Pu said slowly, "No one has been killed recently. The whole city of Kaifeng is under martial law. Ouyang counts the number of people almost every day, and goes door to door to find the registration. And the whole Kaifeng residents are very nervous. Everyone will know, especially in densely populated places.”

So everyone began to think—where are there so many people, and if it is lost, it will not be discovered?

"A tramp?" Bao Yan asked, "a beggar, a refugee, something like that?"

"There aren't many refugees in Kaifeng Mansion recently, right? They're all concentrated at the porridge shop." Pang Yu shook his head, "They also sent someone to watch over them."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and asked Zhao Pu, "The people sent to count the number are all officers and soldiers of the Zhao family army, aren't they?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

"Is it possible that they don't go to some places?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu frowned, "Those bastards dare to go anywhere, right?"

"Didn't the Zhao family's army repeatedly prohibit prostitution and gambling?" Gongsun reminded, "Could it be a brothel or a gambling house? There is a lot of traffic there."

"The kilns and gambling houses have been checked." Ma Han said, "The bosses and shopkeepers there took the initiative to report the number of people. They eat their heads, and they will be in trouble if they are missing. We have all sent government officials to keep an eye on them, and there should be no fewer."

Now, everyone can't think of it.

At this difficult time, I heard Xu Sanye laughing twice.

Everyone looked at him.Han Zhang poked him, "Why are you smirking!"

"Ah?" Xu Qing raised his head in embarrassment, "If I say it, you are not allowed to tell my wife, or the vinegar pot will be overturned again."

Han Zhang frowned, "Are you going whoring behind your sibling's back?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Qing jumped up, "How is it possible?!"

"Third Brother." Bai Yutang asked Xu Qing, "What did you think of?"

"You guys are all gentlemen, so you only know brothels and gambling houses, but don't you know that there are private prostitutes and private gambling houses?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Private prostitutes, private gambling..." Zhan Zhao remembered, "You mean, the kind of small prostitutes that are crowded in alleys and hidden behind corner doors? There are also private houses with big names and no one in the money." Small casino?"

"That's right, it's all private business." Xu Qing blinked, "The kind done behind the official's back."

"Oh!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are quite familiar with the terrain of Kaifeng Mansion. Seeing that Bao Zheng was puzzled, he helped explain, "My lord, in the suburbs of Kaifeng, where there are many merchants, there are indeed people who do this kind of business. Because of the mobility It’s very big, and it might change places tomorrow when it’s open today, so local officials and government servants on the street don’t bother to look there. There are many unremarkable corner gates in the alleys, and there are other worlds behind them. Private prostitution houses and small gambling houses run secretly There is still a lot of business. In order to deceive people, these places usually do not hang signs. Of course, they can also save taxes and money, and the customers are introduced to each other. Most of the private prostitutes here are criminal women or women who have fled here with nowhere to go. Some local ruffians partnered to open privately. Most of them came from other places, and they had to save enough money to go back to their hometowns and have to start a new life, so most of them sneaked around and didn't let others know."

"It's no wonder that when nodding people's heads, I always see some women sneaking into the alley and disappearing." Zi Ying finally understood, "So that's what happened."

"Is there such a place?" Bao Yan was amazed, Kaifeng is so rich and rich, it is inevitable that this dark side of misery.

"I've heard of this too." Pang Yu told everyone, as expected of a former dandy, "The kind of private prostitution business is good, the main reason is that they are not as ostentatious as the kiln sisters with big shops, or they are not clingy. Let it go, it’s not easy to cause accidents. Men, especially those who are officials, lie to others, that area is the best!"

"As for gambling houses, there is no cost and no limit, which is much more exciting than big gambling houses!" Han Zhang said, "Many people from prefectures and counties stay in Kaifeng to gamble privately, and if they don't return to their hometown for a few days or even months, they won't be caught Suspect!"

"If that's the case, it's likely that many people missed it, or lost it, and no one found it," Zhao Pu speculated.

"It's definitely possible." Pang Yu also agreed, "In that kind of private dormitory, if I tell you that there are two people in it, there may be five or six. Will tell the truth!"

"Is that area close to the forest where the accident happened?" Lu Xueer asked.

Several yamen servants thought for a while, then nodded, "Closer!"

Therefore, everyone suspected that Wu Bu'e was hiding nearby. When necessary, he could catch a prostitute, a local ruffian, or a businessman from other places to slaughter him, drink blood without anyone noticing, and then find a crack in the stone to stuff the body in, anyway. No one will find either.In addition, dragons and snakes were mixed there, if he took advantage of the chaos to hide, unless he came out by himself, he really couldn't catch it.

So, everyone discussed and decided, Xie Bai pretended to take the picture of weeping blood in Lingshan to go to Wu Bu'ai.His current appearance is probably enough to arouse Wu Bu'e's interest, and maybe he can ask something about the changes in his eyes.

Wu Bushan was going to go with him, and would persuade his brother if necessary.

Yin Hou and the others secretly watched, and the shadow guards responded by pulling the net, preparing to capture Wu Bue alive this time!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked around to see if anyone had seen him.Wu Bu'e always wears a mask when he goes out, otherwise his eyes will be instantly recognizable.

Everyone split up and planned to meet Wu Buai before the Tianya Valley meeting.

Some market towns on the outskirts of Kaifeng Prefecture are indeed very lively, and the composition of street people is also complicated.After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived in this area, they inquired about the way with a few hooligans.

Anyone on the street in Kaifeng Mansion who didn't know Zhan Zhao pointed out the area where private dormitories of this generation gathered when he asked him.

Zhan Zhao asked the bastard a lot, "Have there been fewer people lately?"

The local ruffian hesitated for a while, and said, "You two might as well ask Boss Qiu."

Zhan Zhao had been in Kaifeng Mansion for so long, and it was the first time he heard of such a boss, so he asked, "Who is it?"

"He's in charge of collecting head fees and ensuring safety." The local ruffian made a face at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "This place is obviously under the management of Kaifeng government, but most of the people don't do their jobs properly, so they all listen to Boss Qiu. He is black and white. They are all available, so asking the number of people is the right way to find him."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

The hooligan added, "However, recently, the kiln sisters in the private prostitution are spreading a story."

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked in unison.

The ruffian curled his lips, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "There are ghosts around here!"
