Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Seeing the owner of the villa making a move, Yin Ci and Xu Changge automatically backed away, and without ordering, someone came over immediately to help Xu Changge apply medicine and bandage.

Mu Liuyun and Zhang Chi had already retreated to the corner, because the goatee's skill had soared and he lost his mind, and his moves opened and closed like wind and clouds, which might affect others.

The two sides fought extremely fiercely, and Zhang Chi was already dazzled. He only knew that Goatee's offensive was getting more and more ferocious, more and more desperate, and even rushed up against the blade of the sword several times, regardless of whether he would be injured, but still failed. It hurt Qin Wuqi in the slightest.

Mu Liuyun saw some tricks, the goatee's attack was at the end of his strength, and he was powerless to continue, and was soon pierced by Qin Wuqi's sword through his left shoulder.

He didn't seem to feel the pain at all, his left hand firmly grasped the blade of Youlongjian, and his right hand suddenly grabbed Qin Wuqi, Qin Wuqi pulled out the Youlongjian, cut off his right hand with one sword mercilessly, and kicked him again His body was kicked out, crashing into a section of earth wall and falling into the rainwater outside the temple.

Also without ordering, the man in coir raincoat stepped forward to apply acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and firmly restrained the goatee who was still struggling frantically.

Qin Wuqi shook off the blood beads on the blade, put the sword back into its sheath, and politely clasped fists at Zhang Chi and Mu Liuyun: "Excuse me, please leave."

"Wait a minute." Mu Liuyun stopped him, "Master Qin, I happen to have something to talk to you about."

Qin Wuqi looked back at his clothes: "Looking at your attire, you must be from the Shangqing Palace, right?"

Mu Liuyun nodded: "Mu Liuyun is in the Qing Palace."

Qin Wuqi looked at him with some surprise: "It turns out that your Excellency was the Daoist Tianxuan of Shangqing Palace who took out Heilongzhai with one person and one sword. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know what you can do with me?"

Mu Liuyun was also a little surprised that the other party's news was so well-informed. He said seriously: "The four disciples of Shangqing Palace were killed in Lingnan a few days ago. There are many doubts about this matter. It seems to have some connection with Jinghong Villa. I am For this matter, I came to you to ask for evidence."

Qin Wuqi was about to speak, but he heard several whistles of different lengths coming from the rainstorm, Yin Ci's face changed: "Master, Long Jiu is here."

Qin Wuqi pondered for a moment, then turned to the two men with goatees and said, "Kill him."

Upon hearing the order, one of them broke Goatee's neck without hesitation.

At this time, a man who was also drenched in water broke into the ruined temple regardless of the words of the people outside the door, just in time to see the body of the goatee lying limply on the ground.

Long Jiu wiped the water off his face, opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn it! Qin Wuqi, you are so deceitful! I have worked so hard to chase him all the way, and finally chased him, but I told you to kill him! "

Qin Wuqi smiled slightly, and calmly said with his hands behind his back: "This person betrayed his promise and betrayed his brother. His crime is unforgivable. I'm just cleaning up the house for Jinghong Villa. I can't afford to talk about 'killing my mouth'. "

"Cleaning up the house, you are obviously abusing lynching!" Long Jiu was furious, "This person was involved in several important cases, and he was killed by you before the investigation was clear. How do you want me to deal with business?"

"The rivers and lakes have rules and regulations. If you cause inconvenience to Master Jiu, I hope you will forgive me. I will take this body back to Master Jiu to deal with business." Qin Wuqi expressed his apology in a neither humble nor overbearing way, and then he expressed his apology to Mu Liuyun. Said, "I still have important things to do, so I really can't delay. If you can trust me, please go to Jinghong Villa to talk about it in half a month. At that time, Qin will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Mu Liuyun frowned, but didn't stop, Qin Wuqi hugged them, turned and left, took the coir raincoat handed to him by his subordinates as he walked, put on the bamboo hat and stepped into the rain curtain without any delay .

The man named Yin Ci was half a step slower, and took out a few invitation cards from his body and handed them to them: "Tianxuan Daoist, Master Jiu, and this little brother, on the day of the martial arts conference in half a month, please invite three You must do your best to attend the appointment, and I will take my leave first."

Long Jiu looked at the back of Qin Wuqi's leaving unwillingly, then at the corpse on the ground, and grabbed the invitation angrily: "Tell that Qin, sooner or later I will settle the score with him!"

"I'll definitely bring it here." Yin Ci said goodbye with cupped fists, and also turned around and walked into the rain curtain. The sound of horseshoes outside the temple soon faded away.

"Ah Choo!" Long Jiu sneezed, looked at the increasing rain outside, and retreated into the temple dejectedly, "Brothers, please borrow a fire."

"Hurry up and have some hot soup." Zhang Chi poured out the long-simmering broth in a small bowl, and gave Long Jiu a bowl. Long Jiu was not polite, took it generously and sat by the fire, "Thank you very much. I see that the two of you are dressed as people in the world. I don't know how to call them?"

"I'm Zhang Chi, an unknown person. This is the Taoist priest Mu Liuyun of the Shangqing Palace." Zhang Chi answered for the silent Mu Liuyun.

"It turns out that your Excellency took out the Taoist Master Tianxuan of the Shangqing Palace in Heilongzhai with one person and one sword." Long Jiu said in amazement, "You are much younger than I imagined."

Mu Liuyun glanced at him in surprise: "Why does everyone seem to know about this overnight?"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's not surprising. Master Long Jiu is the head catcher of the six gates in the capital, so he is naturally better informed."

"You know me?" Long Jiu asked with interest.

"I heard the owner of Qin Zhuang call you that just now." Zhang Chi said, "Who in the Jianghu doesn't know the name of the capital's famous catcher Long Jiuye."

"Brother Zhang Chi, you are trying to run on me." Long Jiu folded two branches to make chopsticks, and said while eating the stewed meat, "Everyone politely calls me 'Jiu Ye' in front of people. Maybe what kind of scolding I am, I have heard such words as "court eagle dog" and "government lackey". "

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "What Master Jiu has been doing all the time, are all great deeds of catching bandits, maintaining law and order, and benefiting the country and the people. The common people applaud and applaud you, so why should you care what people in the world think of you?"

Long Jiu smiled, and his dark complexion made his teeth particularly white: "You can really talk, if I have half your sweet mouth, I can get along much better than now."

"No matter where, I only have a good mouth. I don't have martial arts skills as powerful as Master Jiu's Nine Dragon Rattle Whip, so I have to learn how to eat sweets with my mouth so that I can avoid being beaten."

"What's the use of good martial arts alone? After chasing the murderer for so many days, it's not a failure." Long Jiu sighed. It must be delicious, is there any good ingredients added to this soup?"

"It's just ordinary cinnamon bark, star anise, ginger, and some shiitake mushrooms. Be careful not to bite the star anise when you eat it." Zhang Chi glanced at the corpse on the ground. The three people present were obviously used to seeing blood. With such a hideous corpse next to him, his appetite was not affected at all. Zhang Chi asked curiously, "What did this man do? Why did Jinghong Villa send so many people to chase him down? Lord Qin Wuqi has personally acted."

"He was originally from Jinghong Mountain Villa, and he was bewitched by some means by the Red Lotus Sect. He committed murder, robbery, robbery, and other things that are now dead without proof." Long Jiu said, " I was going to arrest him and go back for trial, but I didn't expect to hurry, and Qin Wuqi took a step ahead. The two of you have seen what happened just now, can you tell me what's going on. "

Faced with an inquiry from a headhunter, Zhang Chi naturally knew everything, and he described the fight just now vividly and vividly.

After listening to Zhang Chi's description, Long Jiu pondered for a moment: "...He is insane and his skills have greatly increased. Hearing what you say, he must have taken the secret medicine 'Blood Demon Pill' of the Red Lotus Sect."

"Blood Demon Pill? What's that?" Knowing that Long Jiu must know some secrets that he didn't know, Zhang Chi's ears immediately perked up.

Long Jiu also said what he knew without any secrets: "You may not have heard of it when you are young. Twenty years ago, there was a father and son duo known as the 'Blood Demon' who caused disasters in the world and killed them wantonly. Innocent, the people in the martial arts group attacked them out of righteous indignation, but they couldn't help them at all. Later, they were the seniors of this Taoist priest Mu Liuyun——the seven sons of the Shangqing who were in their prime at the time, and the top Qing palace's unique "Big Dipper Array" Trapped and killed the blood demon father and son in Mount Hua, and the seven sons of the Shangqing became famous all over the world."

As Long Jiu spoke, he glanced at Mu Liuyun in admiration, as if he saw the past glory of his seniors through him, but Mu Liuyun didn't respond to the past events that these ears had already heard.

"But what's the relationship between the blood demon pill and the blood demon?" Zhang Chi asked.

Long Jiu added: "Back then, the top masters of countless sects in the Central Plains were mobilized, such as Master Shaolin Abbot, the owner of Jinghong Mountain Villa, the leader of the Beggar Gang, and my master, all were defeated by the Blood Demon. I don't know how many heroes died. In the hands of this pair of devils. The blood demon father and son are strong in martial arts. Even after more than [-] years, they are still legends in the world. The Red Lotus Sect claims that this "blood demon pill" It is made of blood, and after eating it, it behaves a bit like the blood demon back then, with red eyes, crazy expression, not afraid of pain or death, and its skill can be greatly increased temporarily, but it will be backlashed later, and it will hurt for a while."

Mu Liuyun finally opened his mouth again, frowning and asked, "But hasn't the Blood Demon been dead for more than twenty years?"

Long Jiu said: "Who knows if they really keep the blood of the Gorefiend, or are they using the name of the Gorefiend to fool the congregation?"

"I think it's just a bluff." Mu Liuyun said disdainfully, "There's no such thing as drinking someone else's blood and you can greatly increase your skill."

"I think so too." Zhang Chi agreed deeply.
