    Chapter 82: Cold View

    "Where is his Zhuangzi located in the town?" Xiao Yuesheng asked with a frown.

    "It's in the northwest of the town. Zhuangzi is not big." Ge Xingzhong immediately answered.

    "Well" Xiao Yuesheng nodded slightly. As soon as his spiritual thoughts came out, the entire Zhouwang Town was enveloped in spiritual thoughts again. Like an eagle's eye looking down from high in the sky, from far to near, from top to bottom, he soon found himself.  Where you want to see.

    Each part of Xiao Yuesheng's facial features is impeccable when viewed individually. His eyebrows are slender and steep, his eyes are neither big nor small, his nose is straight, neither high nor short, his mouth and lips are neither thin nor thick, and they are of moderate size.  At the same time, under his gentle temperament, he suddenly became ordinary and abnormal, making it difficult for people to feel bright. However, when he was serious, he seemed to have become another person, majestic like a god, and could only look up to him.

    At this time, he closed his eyes slightly, his steep eyebrows frowning tighter and tighter, the air that had relaxed gradually became solid again, and everyone present could feel the difficulty and depression in breathing.

    Guo Polu was a little baffled. His brother-in-law closed his eyes for no reason, and everyone around him was staring at him blankly. It was even more baffling.

    The people around him didn't know that Xiao Yuesheng was observing him secretly. They were just affected by his majestic aura and subconsciously focused their eyes on him.

    As a servant of Guanlan Villa, Ge Xingzhong knew that the owner of his village had the ability to see things clearly. Seeing the anger growing on his face, he guessed that the owner of the village must use his magical power to observe the situation of the Wang family village.

    Within a few breaths, the hearts of everyone in the room felt extremely long. Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes and sighed deeply, with a look of compassion on his face.

    Guo Xiang was sitting next to Xiao Yuesheng, so she was least affected. She also wore a calming hairpin and a black jade bracelet, which had a magical effect on calming her mind. She didn't feel much strange, but she felt that her brother-in-law had closed his eyes for a while, thinking that  It was just that he was sad and wanted to calm down his mood.

    "Master, have you seen it?" Ge Xingzhong asked hurriedly, his hips slightly away from the warm wooden chair, a little eagerly.

    "Yeah." Xiao Yuesheng was still immersed in the scene he saw, frowning, a little absent-minded. When Ge Xingzhong saw his eyes, his vision went dark and he fell unconscious. Then he woke up again with a splitting headache.

    "When I heard the news, I wanted to take a look, but I didn't expect that the chief arrester of Jiaxing Prefecture had arrived and sealed the village. No one can enter." Ge Xingzhong sat back in his chair, with a round smile.  His face was dripping with cold sweat and bloodless.

    At this time, the faint fragrance of tea in the room gradually dissipated, and the setting sun gradually fell into the western mountains. The room was a little dim. The shining white light from the collar around Guo Xiang's neck shrouded her and Xiao Yuesheng, and also brought a hazy light to the room.  .

    Zhang Qingyun sat with her back to the window, her snow-white face a little hazy. She moved her eyes away from Xiao Yuesheng, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and asked softly: "What just happened yesterday, how could the chief arrester of Jiaxing Mansion be so quick?  Just come here?¡±

    Her voice was extremely soft, with a rare touch of emotion. Xiao Yuesheng, who was originally in a daze, couldn't help but glance at her. In the hazy light, her faintly beautiful face was a little softer.  , no longer cold and compelling.

    As Xiao Yuesheng came back to his senses, the oppressive air in the room became smooth and smooth again. Duan Ziyan and others took a breath, and looked at Xiao Yuesheng with their eyes full of surprise. Unexpectedly, the usually gentle and kind Master Xiao, tensed  His face looked so scary.

    Ge Xingzhong smiled bitterly, touched his round face, and shook his head, "I'm also confused, maybe he happened to pass by here!" After saying that, he looked at his owner of the village, and then quickly moved away to look at the village owner just now.  That look from the Lord left him feeling frightened.

    Xiao Yuesheng lowered his head, quietly sipping tea and meditating, sitting in the faint light, but no one could see his face clearly.

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled vaguely, knowing that this was no coincidence. The chief arrester of Jiaxing Prefecture was Li Yuanling, who was born in Guanlan Villa. He has become famous in recent years and is known as the best arrester in the south of the Yangtze River. People in the martial arts know Li Yuanling's name.  , both hating and fearing them, but mostly staying away from them.

    Li Yuanling was taught the art of shrinking to the ground by Mrs. Xiaoxing. His lightness skills were so extraordinary that few people in the world could match him. Although he did not have Xiao Yuesheng's ability to run thousands of miles in an instant, he could run a horse several times faster, which was astonishing.

    Since Li Yuanling took office, all counties under the jurisdiction of Jiaxing Prefecture have prepared emergency communication methods, using hawks and eagles instead of fast horses. News can be transmitted very quickly. With his magical skills, people from Jiaxing to Zhouwang Town can be reached overnight.  , as easy as turning the palm of your hand.

    However, very few people know that Li Yuanling was born in Guanlan Villa. Only Xiao Yuesheng and his wives know about it. The rest of the people in the village know nothing about it, and no one knows Li Yuanling. There is definitely something in this.  Twists and secrets.

    "Brother-in-law, can we go there and have a look?"

    Guo Xiang is in XiangyangDuring the period, she heard from friends all over the world about the martial arts vendetta that wiped out entire families, but she had never witnessed it with her own eyes. Although her heart was heavy with pain, it was just sympathy for the dead. Now that she had encountered such a thing, she naturally wanted to see it with her own eyes.  have a look.

    There were green and yellow tea buds standing upright in the blue and white porcelain cup, and the tea was slightly yellowish. Xiao Yuesheng's eyes turned from the tea buds to her beautiful face, shook his head, and sighed softly: "It's better not to see it."

    "Brother-in-law¡ª¡ª!" Guo Xiang unknowingly tugged on Xiao Yuesheng's sleeve with a hint of coquettishness, "I just want to increase my experience when I go out. How can I miss such a big event?!  Right, Polu?" As he said that, Su Bai stretched out his little hand secretly and pulled Guo Polu, who was fiddling with his fingers.

    Guo Polu looked up and saw his sister looking down at him in the light cage. He nodded hurriedly, scratched the back of his head and said in a naive voice: "Yes, brother-in-law, let us take a look."

    Seeing his brother-in-law's naive appearance, Xiao Yuesheng's heavy heart was slightly relieved. He then raised his eyes and looked at the eager expressions of the people around him. Knowing that they all wanted to see it with their own eyes, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay.  , Po Lu said this, I will take you to see it, alas It can also help you understand the dangers of the world!"

    "Master, I?" Ge Xingzhong gritted his teeth and hesitated. Now he no longer had the exquisite eight-faced charm he had just now. Xiao Yuesheng's glance made him very exhausted.

    "If you want to go, let's go together!" Xiao Yuesheng felt a little apologetic, stood up and replied smoothly, and asked Zhang Qingyun to go first.

    Zhang Qingyun was not polite to him, and stood up Yingying. Although she was wearing a loose Taoist robe, her graceful and graceful figure could not be concealed. However, Xiao Yuesheng was not in a good mood now, but he was not interested in sightseeing.

    Outside Tianshui Pavilion, the lanterns of Zhouwang Town have been turned on, and the red lights are densely clustered. The lights add to the prosperous atmosphere of the town. The snow on the street has melted, and pedestrians are passing by. There is an endless flow, and people are rubbing shoulders with each other. Although it is not crowded, it is very exciting.  Dizzy.

    The night market is several times more lively than the daytime market. When people take a break, they visit the night market for entertainment, or set up a stall in the market to earn some change to support their families.  There are no government tax collectors patrolling the night market, so people are more free and unrestrained. It is really a paradise for ordinary people.

    The gleaming light from Guo Xiang's neck was inconspicuous on the street. Various paper lanterns dotted around her illuminated the wide and flat street almost like daylight. Under the soft light, the beauty was more delicate and charming than the flowers. Xiao Yuesheng  The group of people attracted countless gazes from the surrounding pedestrians.

    Master Zhang Qingyun and his disciples have all experienced big events, so how can they care about other people's eyes? They just followed Xiao Yuesheng, not looking at him, with indifferent expressions, not caring about anything.

    Guo Xiang and Guo Polu, who were following Xiao Yuesheng, felt quite overwhelmed. They looked at this and that. They really didn¡¯t know what to look at. Everything was like nothing they had seen before.

    "While traveling, I didn't expect Zhouwang Town to be so prosperous!" Xiao Yuesheng sighed to Ge Xingzhong on the other side, with a warm brilliance in his eyes, which made Ge Xing feel relieved.

    "Haha, when I passed by this place, I was shocked by the prosperity here, so I immediately came up with the idea of ??opening a restaurant here." Ge Xingzhong smiled quite proudly while greeting the passers-by.  Nod in return.

    Along the way, passers-by on the street kept greeting and saluting Ge Xingzhong, either getting close or showing respect, which made him overwhelmed and unable to cope with the situation.

    The seven people walked northward and soon walked out of the bustling street. Looking back, they saw that among the bright lights, people were noisy and disturbing. However, where they were, the lights were sparse and only a few could illuminate the road.  , the quiet atmosphere and the bustling noise not far away are like two worlds.

    "It seems that this good Wang Dashan is a person who likes peace and quiet."

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at the gradually sparse lights around him. The sky was not completely dark, and the twilight was vast. The snow here had not melted yet, and the surrounding area was silvery white. He guessed in his heart the character of Wang Dashanren.

    "Well, what the village owner said is absolutely true. He usually goes to my pavilion to drink a cup of tea in the morning, and then goes to the largest Yuexing Building in the town for breakfast, and then returns to the village. I rarely see him at night."

    Ge Xingzhong had some sighing memories, shook his head and sighed: "Wang Dashan is indeed an amiable person. He almost never offends anyone. I never expected that he would suffer such a misfortune!"

    The rest of the people did not speak, and there was no one around. You could only hear the squeaking sound of a few people's footsteps on the snow. They were already walking on a field path. The trees beside the road were densely planted, but they were bare and leafless.  It looked extremely bleak, and a strong wind blew by, picking up a few flakes of snow, passing over the treetops and making bursts of whistling sounds, making the empty fields suddenly feel more eerie.

    Qin Siying held her senior sister's hand tightly, not daring to look around. When she heard Ge Xingzhong's words, she hurriedly said: "This kind of murderous murder case, without sworn hatred, shouldn't be done so cruelly, right?  "

    Her clear voice was slightly trembling, and she felt quite regretful about coming with Master and the others. If she really saw those dead people, she would definitely not be able to sleep at night.

    Duan Ziyan knew that this junior sister was timid, and the little hands she held were cold and trembling, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she opened and closed her mouth and said with emotion: "The world is not peaceful now, and martial arts vendettas are becoming more and more unscrupulous, destroying families at every turn.  , such tragedies have become more and more common in recent years, even those powerful thieves dare to kill people in their homes after plundering them, leaving no further trouble, which is really chilling!"

    After a pause, he looked at his junior sister, raised his voice, and asked crisply: "Siying, are you cold? Why are your hands so cold?" Although he meant concern, there was a bit of inexplicable emotion in his tone.  smile.

    Qin Siying was so embarrassed. Fortunately, the dusk was hazy and she couldn't see the blush on her face. She was brave enough to hold on and said: "It's not cold when it snows, but it turns into cold snow Senior sister, aren't you cold?"

    Duan Ziyan chuckled and shook Qin Siying's little hand, "The general will inevitably be busy in battle. When we step into the martial arts world, we will inevitably die in the end. There is nothing to be afraid of, right, Siying?"

    "Who is scared!?" Qin Siying refused to admit her timidity, flicked her little hand, broke away from the senior sister's hand, and ran to the other side of the master.

    The Guo Xiang siblings watched the two bickering and couldn't help but chuckle. They didn't show any fear at all. Guo Xiang suddenly pointed to a pine forest not far ahead, turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law, are the lights in the woods the Wangjiazhuang?"  ?¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are faint lights shining through the trees, but it¡¯s hard to spot if you¡¯re not paying attention.

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded and asked Ge Xingzhong: "Is Wangjiazhuang behind the woods over there?"

    Ge Xingzhong hurriedly answered yes. Xiao Yuesheng's light tone when asking the question made him a little scared. He could sense that the village owner's mood had deteriorated again.

    Xiao Yuesheng is not a soft-hearted person. When he was in the Mongolian barracks, it would be no exaggeration to describe him as a murderer. The blood on his hands was far more than those of those notorious in the martial arts world. He could also see the corpses.  Most of them are just glanced at, unmoving, and just regarded as a pile of dirt.

    But after seeing Wangjiazhuang in his mind, there was no smile on his face. Anger kept surging in his chest, but it was suppressed by him and did not burst out.

    When walking through the pine forest path, several pine branches beside the forest path were hung with white silk ribbons. A dozen three-foot-long white silk ribbons were fluttering in the wind. No one said a word. Qin Siying, who was already a little embarrassed, ran back  Next to the senior sister, he tightly held the soft hand of the senior sister.

    "Alas, this Wangjiazhuang is somewhat similar to our Guanlan Villa!"

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at the slender bamboo forest behind the pine forest and sighed deeply. A path between the bamboo forests was the road leading to Wangjiazhuang. The sparse bamboo forest could no longer cover Wangjiazhuang. The lights were dim, but there were still people in the village.

    The front of the village is covered with lush trees and bamboos. It can be seen that this man Wang Dashan is quite elegant and lives a very sentimental life. Xiao Yuesheng seems to be able to see the leisurely life of Wang Dashan from these pines and bamboos.

    Everyone unconsciously slowed down their steps, and the tense atmosphere was contagious. Guo Xiang actually flinched. She had never seen a dead person before, and although she had always been eager to try, she was affected by the desolate scenes along the way, and now she was a little scared.

    "Who is it!?" Suddenly a shout came from the bamboo forest. The voice was clear and full of energy, showing a deep internal strength.

    As the bamboo branches swayed, a figure in soap clothes suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as fast as a ghost, with a short knife on his waist and a slender figure.

    "Hey, the owner of the village?" Ying Ting shouted softly as soon as he appeared, and hurriedly bowed forward, "Sun You, the villain, meet the owner of the village!"

    Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand casually, indicating that there was no need to be polite, "Why are you here?"

    "The villain and his younger brother have come with the chief to investigate the case." Sun You replied respectfully. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face, an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and a majestic bearing.

    Zhang Qingyun, who was next to Xiao Yuesheng, was thinking, why are the disciples of Guanlan Villa seem to be everywhere and can be met wherever they go, but these people have similar temperaments and always have an air of dignity that is rare for others. It is difficult to believe that they are servants.  Origin.

    "Is Li Yuanling inside?" Xiao Yuesheng looked at Wangjiazhuang where the lanterns were hanging high. He asked knowingly. He already knew that Li Yuanling was inside.

    "Junior Li Yuanling pays homage to Master Xiao!" As soon as Xiao Yuesheng finished asking, a heroic laugh came, and a burly man wearing black clothes appeared next to Sun You.

    "Captain Li is so polite!" Xiao Yuesheng bowed to him and gave him a weak hand, his tone was neither cold nor indifferent, polite but distant.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seenZhang Zhang!  "After Li Yuanling bowed deeply, with a cheerful smile on his rough face, he cupped his hand to Zhang Qingyun next to Xiao Yuesheng. He traveled across the south of the Yangtze River and had a wide network of contacts. Naturally, he knew Zhang Qingyun, who was the best swordsman in the martial arts world.  .

    Zhang Qingyun's expression was cold, but he bowed his head in return and did not dare to neglect. Li Yuanling, as the first chief arrester in Jiangnan, had extremely powerful authority, especially for people in the martial arts world, who could decide life or death with a single word.

    "The villain Sun Yi has met the owner of the village!" Another figure appeared next to Li Yuanling. His figure and face were similar to Sun You's, and he bowed respectfully.

    Xiao Yuesheng had a sullen face, but nodded, turned to Li Yuanling and said, "Captain Li, we want to go in and have a look."

    His eyes were staring at Li Yuanling's deep-set eyes, which were carefree and as calm as water.

    Li Yuanling's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized that the village owner was not acting with him this time. The village owner was indeed in a bad mood. Although he was responsible for his duties, he did not have the courage to stop him and nodded involuntarily.

    Xiao Yuesheng's face was as dark as water, and he walked towards the open side door of the villa.

    "You two are here, no one is allowed to come near the villa!" Li Yuanling turned around and solemnly ordered the two brothers Sun You and Sun Yi who were following Xiao Yuesheng.

    The two of them stopped, and then they suddenly remembered that they were on duty and were not in the village. They hurriedly cupped their hands at Xiao Yuesheng's back, turned around and walked back.

    Zhang Qingyun, master and apprentice, and Guo Xiang's sister and brother followed Xiao Yuesheng silently, passed through the side door with two glazed lamps hanging high, and entered the villa.

    The inside of the villa is just a pile of ruins and dozens of rooms. Except for the walls and the screen facing the door, there is no intact wall. Glazed lanterns are hung densely around the walls, making the inside of the villa not gloomy, but very bright.

    On the front of the screen is an ink painting of pines and cranes that prolong life, standing alone among a pile of rubble, looking indescribably desolate and lonely. On the back of the screen, there are a few thick red and black marks, as if ink has been splashed on it, and someone is trying to write.  But no luck.

    Xiao Yuesheng knew at a glance that it was blood sprayed on the body. Someone must have been standing in front of the screen and was stabbed into the body by a knife. Then the knife was quickly pulled out, and hot blood spurted out like a spring on the wall he was leaning against. In his mind  The situation at that time emerged clearly.

    Guo Xiang and Guo Polu were stunned when they looked at the charred bricks and tiles on the ground. More than a dozen houses collapsed at the same time, making the entire villa suddenly empty and desolate. The huge contrast between presence and absence would give people a strong visual impact.

    Xiao Yuesheng stood in front of the screen wall and sighed deeply. He could feel the sadness, anger and despair floating throughout the village, and his originally calm mood gradually became a little restless.

    "Alas, there is really no one alivecan you find out who did it?" He asked in a low voice to Li Yuanling who was following him.

    Li Yuanling glanced at the surroundings with his eagle eyes. Master Zhang Qingyun and Guo Xiang's sister and brother were all watching the huge pile of ruins. No one noticed this. He shook his head, "There are people coming and going in King Zhou Town.  There are so many business travelers that it is difficult to find the suspect immediately."

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded, his face serious, and he waved his hand, "You go, you don't have to accompany me!"

    "Ah!" A scream suddenly rang out in the empty villa. Everyone was frightened. They turned around and saw Qin Siying covering her chest and standing blankly in front of a pile of rubble. Under the soft and bright light, her jade face turned pale.  The blood color has faded.

    "Siying, what's wrong?!" Duan Ziyan, who was beside her, grabbed her little hand and sent a burst of energy to calm her mind.

    "soso miserable!" Qin Siying pointed at the pile of charred dead wood in front of her, as if she was about to cry!

    Duan Ziyan looked along her jade finger and turned her head hurriedly.

    "Don't come over, don't come over to look!" She shouted loudly when she saw Guo Xiang and Guo Polu walking towards this side curiously.

    Her originally clear and delicate voice became a little hoarse. She waved vigorously at Guo Xiang and Guo Polu, as if she was crazy.

    Zhang Qingyun, who was standing in the corner to observe carefully, lightly jumped up and came to Duan Ziyan, frowned and shouted displeased: "What's wrong, Ziyan!"

    "Master¡ª¡ª!Uh-huh" Seeing the master standing in front of him, Duan Ziyan, who was screaming, suddenly threw himself into the master's arms and burst into tears.

    In this quiet and empty country villa, her cries were painful and desperate. The louder she cried, the louder she cried, and she turned into a howl, without any trace of her gentle and graceful demeanor.

    Zhang Qingyun was a little at a loss. This eldest disciple had always been strong and careful, and had never lost his composure like this. He couldn't help but glance at the second disciple who was standing sluggishly, and then looked at her feet.

    Under the charred beams and giant trees, a corpse was miraculously not burned. It was the face of a young woman, protected by her delicate body.The baby in her arms has lost one of its arms, and its petite face is full of pain. The young woman desperately kisses the baby's little face. Her beautiful face is pale and blue, desperate and helpless.

    A feeling of sadness and anger rose from his heart, and Zhang Qingyun seemed to have seen the scene in his dreams countless times. His master gently touched his crying face with his blood-stained hands, and murmured to comfort himself: Yun'er,  Don't be afraid, don't be sad.

    "Xiang'er, Polu, you guys should go and have a look too!" Xiao Yuesheng, who was standing in front of the screen, had cold eyes that cut through the night sky and flashed before their eyes. Although his voice was soft, it sounded like it was ringing in their ears.  .

    At this moment, Xiao Yuesheng suddenly became as stone-hearted. He looked at everyone in the venue expressionlessly, looked up at the sky, and sneered slightly. It was a sneer that looked down at the people and mocked the sky.

    The sky is already dark, the stars are faint and looming, it is a clear and clear night sky.
