It is said that after the young swordsman and Liu Tian, a disciple of the Xiao family, won rewards for their "human sacrifices", they were soon coerced by the Taiping Taoists to invite them to the Taoist temple. During this period, every scripture pavilion, study room, and guest room they passed by was... Special personnel were assigned to guard and protect him, which made the original plan to collect evidence of crime have to come to nothing in advance.
However, Bai Feng did not give up. He and Liu Tiantong found an inn near the Taiping Road stronghold. Taking advantage of Liu Tianzhi's prestige, the two of them got a good room from the resentful innkeeper without taking any money.
This room has an excellent view. You only need to slightly open the window to leave a small gap, and you can see the daily activities of the Taiping Taoists.
In order to prevent Liu Tian from escaping, Bai Feng used the thick hemp rope he asked from the store to tie the other person's arms with his own during the break. Under this operation, whoever made a larger move between the two would be arrested. The other party notices.
Although Liu Tian has a vulgar appearance and strong body odor, and anyone who stays around him will be tortured, Bai Feng, who sleeps with him for the first time, is not affected at all.
Bai Feng went to bed very early that night, perhaps because he was too tired. He fell asleep not long after closing his eyes, while the other "single mate" spent the most frightening night in his life.
For unknown reasons, not long after the young swordsman fell asleep, strange bells began to ring from his body, which was intermittent and disturbed his dreams. Liu Tian once thought about sneaking away, but if he wanted to get past the warning beside him, he had to face the sword in front of Bai Feng's chest.
While hesitating, the bell kept ringing. Rather than risking his life, Liu Tian finally chose to endure mental torture. The sound didn't stop until the next morning.
Just when Liu Tian was about to sleep peacefully, Bai Feng woke up at an inappropriate time. He took Liu Tian's hand to the window and asked, "You woke up earlier than me. Did you notice what happened just now?" Vision?"
"Woke up earlier than you?" It took Liu Tian a long time to react and replied: "Young hero, I didn't sleep last night. The bell on your body kept ringing all night long, which made me itchy!"
Bai Feng was shocked after hearing this. She grabbed Liu Tian's clothes and stepped closer, squeezing him into the corner and asked solemnly again: "Are you serious? When did it start ringing?"
"Just...soon after you fell asleep!" Liu Tian raised his hands to show his kindness, fearing that he would inadvertently reveal his inner disobedience.
Bai Feng was stunned in place, thinking for a while, then untied the hemp rope on his hand, and said to Liu Tian: "I can't wait any longer. I want you to take me in now, no matter what reason you use. Otherwise, I will do it now." Kill you immediately."
"Ah?" Liu Tian originally thought that his obedience could gain the other party's trust, but he didn't know that the fierce determination revealed in Bai Feng's words showed that his life was as careless as a straw.
I saw him wandering in the middle of the room, walking very slowly, with small steps, and his body was always stooped when walking, showing a very lack of confidence.
"Young hero, it's not that I don't want to help you...it's just that those Taoists usually don't let people in casually, unless we find a few more women?" Before Liu Tian finished speaking, Bai Feng drew his sword and approached. , sealed his mouth and angrily shouted: "If you do this again, I will cut off your tongue first so that you can no longer confuse the public with your evil words!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Whatever you say is what you say, young hero! You tell me to go east, but I will never go west!" Liu Tian frowned miserably, and suddenly saw a bird sticking out of the gap in the window. The bird's beak, wings fluttered, and it knocked on the wooden frame frequently. He felt confused and said to Bai Feng: "Young knight, look, is there a bird?"
Bai Feng thought this was Liu Tian's trick and didn't look back, so he asked him to find the bird: "Where is the bird? I think there is a 'bird' on you that needs to be taken care of."
"No, young hero, take your sword away first. That bird is really weird!" Liu Tian slowly moved the sword edge away from him, then leaned towards the window sill and pushed open the door. A dexterous bird The bird flew directly to Bai Feng, holding the string that tied the bells in its red beak.
"Yes, Yan'er?" Bai Feng immediately raised his hand to take the bird and let it stand on the back of his hand. He soon discovered that there were strips of cloth tied to its feet with blood written on them: "Mr. Xiao will be here soon." Come." After looking at it, he leaned out the window and looked in the direction of the Taoist temple. Sure enough, he found that the Taiping Taoist congregation had purchased many things necessary to welcome guests. Cars full of wine, meat and food passed by the Taiping Taoist temple one after another.
Liu Tian has always been interested in the rumored flying pigeons delivering messages. Today, he saw it with his own eyes. He was really curious, so he walked up to Bai Feng excitedly and wanted to play with the birds.
"Let's go, let's not go to the Taoist temple, let's go to Liangping's house!"
The young man immediately sheathed his sword, packed his bags and went out. He acted decisively and quickly, escorting Liu Tian quickly through the market. When he arrived in front of Liangping's house, he happened to run into Duan Xingang and Jingji, who had just been rejected.
Entrusted by Bai Feng, Duan Xingang and Jingji should have dealt with Liangping long ago, but contrary to expectations, they have been shut out, and not even a little bit of news has been conveyed.
"I heard from the neighbors that Lianghei has no time to receive guests these days because he is busy taking care of his wife, so we have been waiting outside the door. Unexpectedly, he really didn't go out all day and night." Jingjia looked at Lianghei's house with emotion.
Duan Xingang took a more radical attitude and suggested: "Young Master Bai, let's go straight in and make things clear. We are not Liangping's enemies, so why should we hide like this?"
After hearing this, Bai Feng did not respond immediately. He stared at the fence that blocked the communication between the two parties for a long time, as if recalling something. Then he slowly walked to the door of Liangping's house, knocked on the door and said, "Brother Liangping, I have taken the liberty to come here." During the interview, if my comments are offensive in the future, I hope you will come forward and correct me."
The young swordsman paused for a while, then continued to say to the cold door: "My master once said that the only thing that can completely knock down a man is a broken family and the destruction of the country, but I thought that was not the case. In this world, a man can be defeated. All you have is weakness and blind retreat!"
"The family is in decline, so you are going to live a life of poverty? The country is about to be destroyed, so you are going to live in seclusion?" Bai Feng turned around, a trace of compassion flashed across his eyes, and then he and several friends exchanged views in advance. Song, let them be ready to break in at any time, while continuing to preach: "It is true that blindly wanting revenge, wanting revenge, and always putting oneself in danger is extremely unfair to those who still need to take care of themselves. The choice of responsibility.”
"You did not let yourself fall into the whirlpool of revenge. You are a very wise person. At the right time, you sent Liu Tian, the person involved, to me, hoping to use my hand to fulfill your wish, and you I don’t have a trace of blood on my hands, even if I fail in the end, the Xiao family will not settle the score with you.”
"But, you have forgotten one thing." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment, and guided Duan Xingang, Jing Jie, and Liu Tian beside him to lift the hammer, indicating that after the next sentence, he would break through the door: " In order to reach the end of this struggle, you and I have no way out!"
Before he finished speaking, the door was knocked open with a wooden hammer. The door-breakers were all smiling when they saw that the action was completed in one shot. However, when they saw Liangping standing in front of them, who was about to open the door to welcome guests, they immediately stopped their playful smiles and greeted Liangping one after another: "Brother Liangping, this door..."
"Uh..." Lianghei smiled bitterly and replied, "I will fix it."
The visitor followed Liangping into the house, only to see Liangping's wife Yu Shuye had prepared tea and was kneeling in front of the mourning platform to keep vigil.
