Several leaders from the eight major sects in the south of the Yangtze River gathered at the usually sparsely populated Dongcheng Gate Tower.
Neighbors are everywhere, stretching their heads and shrinking their heads, timidly looking from a distance, and boldly looking close up.
The disciples of An Ningguan were cleaning up the body, weeping and mourning.
The abbot of Kongxing of Huata Temple ordered the monks to help carry the body of the master of Anning Temple into the coffin. On one side, Xu Dingshan of the Yushan Sword Sect also ordered his disciples to help.
Several other sects are talking about it. The words "Ji Ruge" on the stone pillars of the gate tower are undoubtedly a provocation to them.
In their minds, Luo Congsheng of An Ningguan was a stern Taoist who knew etiquette well. However, they never thought that Luo Congsheng's death had a lot to do with the closed-door farmhouse not far away. .
Abbot Kongxing looked at the three characters "Xingyunliushui" engraved on the sword on the stone pillars of the gate tower. He slammed his cane on the ground and snorted coldly.
"This devil is too arrogant!!"
The Li Kun brothers and sisters and two or three followers stood on one side. Li Zong was the most famous in Jiangnan, but since the leader was absent, the right to speak naturally fell into the hands of Huatan Temple.
Li Luo stood on one side with his attendant girl An Ning, while Li Kun stood on the other side with one of his close brothers, both of whom were disciples of Li Zong.
Emptiness is a person with no independent opinions. The master of Tranquility was killed and he didn't pay attention.
After Kongxing finished speaking, he looked at everyone, spread his hands and said, "Everyone, tell us how we should deal with this devil!!"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Kun cupped his fists on one side and said: "Master Kongxing, I think we should take their corpses back to the temple first and then make a conclusion. Maybe the devil is mixed in with the crowd and we can't catch him. He, there are so many people talking here, it’s not the place to discuss things.”
After hearing the words, Kongxing replied: "Yes, yes, little brother Li is right, let's go back to the temple first."
Among the several sects, except Xu Dingshan's Yushan Sword Sect and An Ning Guan, there is also the Huatan Temple, which has a large number of disciples. The heads of several other sects came to see Luo Congsheng's death. .
Regarding the sharp characters on the pillars, they felt that Ji Ruge had profound skills. To be able to carve such characters on the stone pillars with his sword, he must have a lot of internal skills.
Looking at the few people who died, they were all killed by one sword, and they felt more and more that Ji Ruge was too powerful and not something ordinary people could defeat.
Little did they know that a good sword that can cut iron like clay can produce such words in the hands of ordinary people. The leader of the Li Sect, Li Bei, was not here, otherwise he would have known some clues.
"Why did they die here? Weren't they all in Huatan Temple last night?" Abbot Qingyi of Tianxuan Temple asked curiously.
A disciple of An Ningguan replied from one side: "Master lives with these three brothers. We don't know when Master came here."
Abbot Qingyi said in confusion: "That's strange. Why would they appear around this sedan? Didn't we discuss it before and won't allow them to leave Huatan Temple unless there are special circumstances?"
No one could explain this question. Abbot Kongxing looked at Yushan Sword Sect Xu Dingshan and asked: "Master Xu, Guanzhu Luo has a relationship with you. Do you know what he is doing here at the East City Gate Tower?"
Xu Dingshan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
On one side, Xu Dingshan's charming daughter Xu Jing looked at Zhang Ding's body and felt a little sad. After all, Zhang Ding was quite handsome and seemed to be interested in him. It was a pity that he died like this.
Li Kun interjected from one side: "Okay, now that their corpses have been taken care of, why not go back to the temple to ask Mr. Ruan for advice, and then find out why Guanzhu Luo left the temple?"
All the heads agreed that after all, Ruan Qingchou was the one who came up with their plan to capture Ji Ruge. After Li Bei left, they respected Ruan Qingchou from Baixiao.
Except for Luo Congsheng who was carrying a coffin, the others simply wrapped their corpses in linen and took them away in an oxcart.
There were a few pools of blood on the ground, people were leaving, and calm returned to the East City Gate Tower for a while. The teahouses and restaurants knew that Kong Jian of Huatan Temple had been killed, and the people and ordinary people who knew that Luo Congsheng had been killed were all talking about it.
Dong'an Wine Shop not far from the Dongcheng Gate Tower.
The shopkeeper listened to the people coming and going in the store talking about the murderous demon Ji Ruge.
The shopkeeper thought of the carefree-looking swordsman who went into the shop to drink alone with his sword last night.
He was glad that when he was about to close the door last night, he did not chase the swordsman away, but waited for him to finish drinking alone before closing the door. Otherwise, if the man got angry, he would be afraid that there would be more of his corpses in the gatehouse.
...
Ji Ruge went to Nanhuai County in the morning to find the Qin family to take back the Seven Kill Order and the reward.
After settling in, a young figure with a dog's tail grass in his mouth was hanging out in Yangzhou city again.
After winning a few taels of silver in the gambling house, I came out and was about to go to Lao Ma Tea House to listen to a book.
He didn't care that people were talking about the gatehouse. When he listened to the discussion between the gambling house owner and the gamblers, he still pretended to be surprised.
On the way to Lao Ma Tea House.
Xiaoyu walked leisurely.
A young young master, with a thick build, was accompanied by two boys. The boy was holding a vicious dog in his hand, and he was about half as tall as a man.
"Woof woof woof..."
A few dog barks frightened Xiao Yu into hurriedly following a few passers-by and scattering to both sides of the road.
The thick-bodied young man followed the two boys holding the dog and strode toward the Huatan Temple.
Xiaoyu murmured in her heart, this dog looks majestic and ferocious, and the person behind it also looks like a dog. He doesn't pay attention to the pedestrians around him, they all have to give way to him, but he and the charming Xu Jing Somewhat similar.
However, this man was acting domineeringly, and the vicious dog got the first step, so he had to give way.
I don’t know whether it’s the dog relying on the power of man or the man relying on the power of dog.
Seeing the young man walking past her arrogantly, with the air of being the only one in the world, Xiaoyu had already greeted his eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
After they left, Xiao Yu planned to walk slowly to Yangzhou City. The gambling house he went to was in the city, and he had to go through the main city streets to listen to a book at Lao Ma Restaurant.
Xiao Yu secretly thought: No hurry, no hurry, first find a roadside chaos restaurant, fill your stomach and then go to Lao Maqiao.
.......
The main street of Yangzhou City is Huarong Street.
Rouge shop on the roadside.
Two girls are buying rouge.
"Miss, look at this rouge, it's so beautiful and has a light fragrance. I think it matches you very well!" An Ning pulled Li Luo to choose at the rouge stall.
These two girls were Li Luo and An Ning who followed Li Kun out of Huatan Temple. Taking advantage of the gap between Li Kun and Kong Xing talking, Li Luo ran out to play with An Ning.
Li Luo was not as interested in rouge as he was in playing with fire. He curled his lips and said to An Ning: "I don't like it. It's disgusting to wear those things on my face. Ning'er, please choose quickly. I bought it." After that, let’s go to Lao Maqiao and listen to books, okay?”
An Ning glanced at Li Luo, frowned and said, "Miss, there are so many storytellers in this city, let's just find one later and listen. Why do we have to go to Lao Maqiao?"
Li Luo pouted and explained coyly: "I think the storyteller at Lao Ma Tea House said it better..."
An Ning snorted and cursed: "Miss, I knew you just wanted to go and play with that little gangster!"
Li Luo said: "Ning'er, okay, I'm the second brother of the tavern. I didn't touch you on purpose. We're not familiar with each other in this city. It would be great to let him take us to play, don't you think?"
An Ning shook her head vigorously, "No, no, if you are led astray by him, then the master will have to blame me. We'd better not go to Lao Maqiao."
Li Luo frowned and was about to argue with An Ning.
An Ning immediately pointed to the side and said, "Miss, look, what is that? So cute!!" An Ning didn't want to argue with Li Luo, but wanted to divert Li Luo's attention so that she would forget about looking for Xiao Yu.
