Chapter 14 Destruction
When he woke up, Tang Jie saw that he was already in an elegant hut.
Lying on the bed is a carved fragrant wood bed, and the body is covered with a red damask quilt. On one side of the wall is a painting of a master of heaven, and on the other side is an exquisite bookshelf. On the corridor leading to the outer room, there is a small soft curtain of green onion flowers, and two slender figures are standing faintly behind the curtain.
Tang Jie sat up, and the two maids behind the soft curtain saw that there was movement inside, so they opened the curtain and came in, bowed to Tang Jie and said: "My lord is awake."
Rubbing his face with the palm of his hand, Tang Jie said, "I seem to have drunk too much yesterday?"
A maid covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, the young master was very drunk yesterday, the two of us managed to send the young master back."
"Yes, thank you both."
The maid looked at Tang Jie with charming eyes, and said bitterly: "Just a thank you. That's not what the young master said last night."
Tang Jie was taken aback: "Last night? What did I say?"
The maid bowed her head and replied: "Last night, the young master's hands were dishonest..."
Another maid was already giggling.
Tang Jie was taken aback, wondering if he did something beastly yesterday? It's just that no matter how I think about it, my mind is blank, and I can't remember it no matter how I think about it.
At this moment, the memory from the main body awakened, and the scenes from yesterday reappeared in front of my eyes. The conversations, jokes, and calculations of the four of them played back in my mind one by one.
"So it's like this..." Tang Jie murmured, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The truth came so simple and so easy, which made Tang Jie feel relieved.
As for what the maid said was pure fart, he was in a deep sleep last night and never touched the second girl at all, it's just that if someone wants to climb high, he must seize the opportunity to seduce him.
When people go to high places, what they face most is not challenges, but temptations.
Tang Jie, as a quasi-disciple of the Xiyue Sect, has a bright future. Even Tianxin Daoist would be polite when he saw him. Tang Jie nodded, he had a lot of beauties willing to throw himself into his arms.
Ignoring the second daughter at this moment, Tang Jie stood up and said while dressing: "I don't need you to take care of me here,
You stand back. "
Seeing him turning his face ruthlessly, the second daughter looked at him resentfully together, but they had no choice but to back down.
Tang Jie suddenly thought of something, and called out, "Wait."
The two daughters looked at him happily together, Tang Jie asked: "How is the servant I brought?"
The two women were disappointed, and the first woman replied: "Mr. Xi went down the mountain last night and said he was going to pick up his sister. He should be back this morning."
"That's it." Tang Jie nodded, waved his hand and said, "Then you guys go down."
After letting the two girls leave, Tang Jie put on his clothes and walked out of the hut, and found himself in a garden behind the Shimen Peak Hall. The environment here is unique and the layout is elegant. It should be specially used by the Shimen Sect to receive distinguished guests.
Walking out of the small garden, I saw the rising sun in the distance, and under the colorful clouds in the sky, it reflected a fire-like glow. Looking around, the green hills are surrounded, and the sea of clouds is vast, making people feel refreshed and happy.
On the side of Shimen Peak, a group of disciples can be seen practicing on the square in front of the Shimen Hall.
These are the most elementary disciples, and their strength is inferior to most of the students of Xiyue College. Therefore, the cultivation method is not to teach students according to their aptitude like students, but to concentrate on cultivation. An intermediate disciple stands at the head, watching The people below, shouting like passwords from time to time, don't look like they are cultivating immortals, but practicing martial arts.
On the other side of the back mountain belt, there are large areas of medicine gardens and spiritual food production areas. As a small sect, and located in remote mountains, there are few people here, so the Shimen sect does not have a college under its jurisdiction, and there is no mortal labor, such as Lingtian and medicine fields are all in charge of their own disciples.
Tang Jie didn't want to disturb those disciples, so he wandered around the back mountain, walking casually. While admiring the natural scenery of Yongsui Mountain and the pastoral life of Shimen School, I was also thinking about the next plan in my mind.
The incident of Shimen sect's greed for ink has been revealed, so it should be reported immediately.
But the trouble with this is that he doesn't actually have any evidence in his hand.
In the mine yesterday, Tang Jie could have been able to investigate, and he also had a way to further improve his reconnaissance ability.
But after encountering the Earth Demon Ape, Tang Jie gave up this plan.
The reason for this is not because he thinks that there is nothing wrong with the Shimen faction, but because he just thinks that there is a problem with the Shimen faction. Just because there was a problem, he couldn't investigate any more, otherwise if he found something, he might die next time. Tang Jie didn't want to find a real Tianxin waiting there when he found the real location of the clamworm. What's more, if something really happened, then the real concentration point of the crystallized clamworm should have been hollowed out by now. It was precisely because of the hollowing out that they dared to notify the Xiyue Sect to inspect the mines, but they did not expect that there would be a Xi Remnant who inadvertently obtained a crystallized clamworm.
That is to say, even if the place is found, it may not become evidence, and the piece in Xi Canhen's hand also cannot explain the problem.
Thinking about it this way, these old foxes are really cunning, and they are impeccable in their work. Even if they find out by themselves, there is nothing they can do about them.
But if this is the case, why are they still so nervous?
Tang Jie suddenly couldn't figure it out.
Logically speaking, the Shimen faction has already prepared everything, and the crystallized clamworm has already been hollowed out, so there is no need to worry about what others will find out, so why do they have to make such a fuss?
Thinking of this, a ray of light suddenly appeared in Tang Jie's heart.
Everything that happened before flashed through his mind at high speed, Qiu Shuyu's smiling face, Shi Jingzhai's indifference, the crisis in the mine, the words and smiles of the four Shimen sect brothers and sisters, and their words...
"The way to advance to the Purple Mansion?" Tang Jie murmured, and he remembered this again.
A thought flashed through his mind.
At that moment he suddenly understood.
He chuckled under his breath: "If that's the case, then things will be interesting. Well, maybe I still have a chance. But before that, I have to find a chance to stay here..."
He was trying to make an excuse, when Xi Canhen's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Young master, young master..."
Looking back, I saw him running in a hurry, his face full of panic.
"What happened? Didn't you go back to pick up your sister?" Tang Jie asked.
Xi Remnant rushed over and knelt down in front of Tang Jie: "Master, please save my sister, she was taken away by the Jin family."
"En?" Tang Jie raised his brows, "Is that the Young Master of the Jin family?"
"Yes! Just last night, that bastard personally brought people over to arrest my sister."
"He is really impatient to go to reincarnation." Tang Jie snorted, but he didn't expect that the young master of the Jin family had already started to move before he made a move.
At this moment, his mind changed, and he suddenly thought, isn't this a good excuse to stay here? He smiled and said, "If that's the case, what are you waiting for?"
As he said that, he grabbed Xi Remnant and headed towards the mining area.
After flying for about half a day, Tang Jie came to a small town with Xi Remnant, which is Jubao Town under the jurisdiction of the mining area. It was originally named Baile Town, but since the discovery of the Lingshi vein, a large number of miners have poured in, making the originally desolate town suddenly prosperous, and many businesses have benefited from it. The Jin family is the most typical one.
Relying on their tyrannical power, they bully and dominate the market here, which has already aroused people's resentment.
At this moment Tang Jie came to the town and asked, "Do you know where the Jin family is?"
Xi Remnant replied: "It's the first family at the east end of the town."
Tang Jie went straight to Jin's house with Xi's remnants, and when he got to the door of Jin's house, he smashed the gate with his palm, strode in, and shouted: "Everyone from Jin's family get out and die!"
A group of servants rushed out at the same time and shouted: "Who dares to come to Jin's house to make trouble?"
Tang Jie said in a deep voice, "Where is the girl your young master kidnapped?"
The servants laughed together when they saw the scars of Xi Xi, and the head of the housekeeper said, "So it's you, your sister is considered to have climbed a high branch with my young master. What are you dissatisfied with? If you talk too much, you will call me!" break your leg!"
A group of servants were already laughing at the same time.
Before the laughter stopped, a sharp wind of palm struck the housekeeper, shattering him completely, causing blood to rain all over the sky, making everyone dumbfounded.
"Scum!" Tang Jie spat out a few words coldly.
Although he kept saying that there would be no Jin family in the future, in fact, he never meant to slaughter the entire family, but now it seems that there is not a good person in the Jin family, including the master and the servants. There is no need to have any psychological burden.
If it was eight years ago, Tang Jie would not have this kind of thinking. At that time, he still insisted that even if a person is guilty, he should not be executed easily, but should be punished according to his crime.
But with Shi Mo's death, he gradually understands that behind this seemingly prosperous and civilized world is the true meaning of human life.
Immortal cultivators are the judges of this world, judging life and death according to mood rather than reason and law, and determining people's yin and yang. As long as there is a plausible reason, even if the whole family is slaughtered, it may not be a big deal. As for sentencing for crimes, I'm sorry, that's not something that cultivators have to consider. For them, being able to uphold justice to a certain extent is already quite remarkable.
No one works hard to cultivate immortals to obey the law!
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and all the pity, hesitation, and doubts in the past were all thrown away. Whether he was right or wrong, he should be born in this world with a clear heart. This is the way of a cultivator.
There is no right or wrong, different worlds have different laws.
At the same time that he realized it in his heart, it was no longer merciless to make a move.
While killing the butler with one blow, Tang Jie called out Xiaohu: "Go Bao'er, you can start killing today."
Xiaohu jumped out excitedly, and the next moment the Jin family compound turned into a bloody killing ground.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Jin Mansion?"
A man in blue appeared from the back of the courtyard and robbed Tang Jie. He was the Transcendence Spiritualist raised by the Golden Mansion.
As soon as the man came out, he saw the bloody courtyard, a demon tiger was killing all around, and a young man was standing in the middle of the blood, with his hands behind his back, the man in blue was shocked.
The young man turned his head slightly, looked at himself, his eyes pierced into his heart as if there was substance, making the blue-clothed heart tremble.
He blurted out: "Your Excellency?"
"A person who takes his life." Tang Jie replied casually.
The cold answer shocked the man in blue. Just as he was about to take action, he saw that the young man had already slapped him. The man in blue leaped up with a strange scream, and he used seals with both hands, so that he used a protective shield abruptly before he was hit.
The next moment, the shadow of the palm hit his chest like a mountain, and the man in blue was thrown into the air like a boulder hitting him, but the shield that had just been formed was smashed to pieces by Tang Jie's palm.
The man in blue was terrified, knowing that the person who could smash his protective shield with a single palm was definitely not something he could resist, and was about to retreat, but Tang Jie didn't chase after him, instead he stopped and asked him: "The girl from Xi's family?" Where?"
The man in blue was stunned, and finally realized, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and hurriedly said: "So you are here for the little girl, and the girl is in the backyard wing, if you want it, you can take it away."
He also cursed in his heart that the young master of the Jin family was so stupid that he didn't find out where he came from before he robbed someone. He didn't know that the young master of the Jin family really inquired, but it was only yesterday that Xi Canhen knew Tang Jie, so how could the young master of the Jin family know.
Unexpectedly, after Tang Jie heard this, he only said: "That is to say, you know about the young master of the Jin family who robbed the women? You are also an accomplice."
The man in blue was stunned, and realized that the meaning of these words was not good.
Tang Jie said calmly: "In this case, you can go to die."
When the words fall, the sword rises.
Accompanied by the flash of the knife, a fountain of blood rushed straight into the sky.
A Transcendent Spiritualist was easily beheaded by Tang Jie.
This spiritual master is considered a powerful person in the Jin family. His death made the entire Jin family panic. The members of the Jin family who had just rushed out saw this scene and fled in fright. Tang Jie didn't go after him, but just thrust the Heartbroken Knife into Xi Canhen's hand and said, "I'll leave it to you."
"Me?" Xi Canhen looked at Tang Jie, then at the knife in his hand. The Heartbroken Knife is a magic weapon of the Horcrux, and its nature is psychic, so it will not madly absorb the user's aura once it is used like the Qingguang Sword, but will change according to the different users.
"That's right. The immortal path is dangerous, life and death are unpredictable. If you want to enter the immortal path, then start by killing people. Anyway, the Jin family offended you, so it's best for you to kill yourself." Tang Jie said Xiaohu has been called back, and he is only asked to warn the surroundings not to let one go.
Xi Remnant took a long breath, looked at the people in the Jin Mansion who were fleeing, and the image of these people running rampant in the countryside and oppressing the good had already appeared in his mind.
That's right, since it's his own revenge, he should avenge it himself.
Thinking of this, Xi Canhen let out a loud roar, and swung the Heartbroken Knife towards one of them. The Heartbroken Knife in Xi Remnant's hands did not have the power of Tang Jie to cut out waves of fire at every turn, it just shone a little bit of brilliance on the knife. However, just this brilliance is enough to compare with the magic weapon of ordinary people. At this moment, a knife was chopped on the head of a servant, and half of the servant's head was sliced open like this, blood and brains spurted out together, flushing Xi's scars all over his head and face.
At this moment, Xi Remnant was also stunned. He was not frightened yesterday when he faced the chance of life and death, but now he was frightened when he faced a servant whose head had been chopped off by him.
Life seems so insignificant at this moment, just waving a hand, a person's life is taken away by himself.
Although he said that this person deserved to die, at the moment when he took the other person's life, Xi Remnant still hesitated, hesitated, and even feared.
"Scared? Terrified?" Tang Jie asked leisurely from behind.
Xi Remnant looked back at Tang Jie, and saw that he was still indifferent, gritted his teeth and said, "The young master avenged me, how could the little one shrink back? The members of the Jin family are all damned!"
As he spoke, he swung the saber with a loud roar, and the heart-broken knife shone brighter in his hand, bringing out a red flame that scorched all directions.
Except for the previous man in blue who is a cultivator, the people in the Qianjin Mansion are all ordinary people. How can they withstand the power of this magic weapon? Devouring the whole life, seeing Xi Remnant is also frightening.
However, he gritted his teeth and did not flinch, holding the heart-breaking knife in his hand like a god of death, and still insisted on killing.
Without the obstruction of the man in blue, the Jin family and others could not stop Xi Remnant at all. Even if there were occasional stronger guards, they would be directly intimidated by Tang Jie, unable to fight back at all. In the blink of an eye, the Jin family compound had been murdered by Xi Canhen, and blood flowed like a river.
"Jin Yue...Jin Changfu...Jin Haoyun...Jin Shisan!" Xi Canhen strode through the Jin family's courtyard as he rolled his name, opening rooms one after another, and stabbing everyone he saw. They all fell under the sword of Xi Remnant.
boom!
Xi Remnant kicked open a door, and there was a loud exclamation behind the door, but it turned out that a group of women were hiding in the room.
Seeing that it was a woman, Xi Remnant was stunned, wanted to swing the knife but couldn't do it, and finally said: "Get lost!"
A group of women fled out at the same time as if they had received an amnesty.
He looked back at Tang Jie, Tang Jie shrugged and replied: "This is your business."
He kept saying that he had nothing to do with him, but there was a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes.
Being able to maintain a trace of calm in the midst of rage, and being able to do something without doing something, is what Tang Jie appreciates and trusts.
Having received Tang Jie's praise, Xi Canhen was also excited in his heart.
Just at this moment, an old woman tremblingly wanted to pass by Xi Canhen, Xi Canhen suddenly grabbed her and said, "You are Jin Changfu's mother, right? Your son Jin Changfu takes a fancy to the three acres of fertile land of old man Geng in Xiaoyu Village, but he only intends to Bought it for three taels of silver. The old man Geng refused, so your son sent someone to break his leg, and then abandoned him in the wilderness to starve him to death. His daughter came to complain, but you saw that it was not your son who killed him. I killed the old man Geng, it was the old man who starved to death by God, and ordered someone to forcibly rape the girl. That day and night, the girl committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and all you have to say is: No, another well has been polluted.”
The old woman trembled all over and screamed, "It's not me!"
"I won't kill you." Xi Canhen replied.
The old woman heaved a sigh of relief, the next moment the knife flashed again, but there was no spark, but four white lights flashed. The old woman's limbs had been cut off by him, and she fell in a pool of blood and wailed endlessly.
Xi Remnant said: "Please young master..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Jie knew what he meant, and he stretched out his fingers like flying, and the four spiritual energy went down to stop the old woman's blood.
Xi Canhen said coldly: "You just wait here to be starved to death, this is God's will."
At this moment, there was a sudden bang in the opposite wing, and the door was kicked open.
Two people came out from the inside, a man and a woman, the girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyebrows were not even opened, but she could already be seen to be a beautiful woman, the man held a short knife and put it on the girl's neck.
"Sister!" Xi Canhen yelled, staring at the man behind him like fire: "Jin Shaoqiu! If you dare to hurt my sister, I will tear you to pieces!"
This Jin Shaoqiu was the one who kidnapped his sister.
At this moment, Jin Shaoqiu yelled frantically holding a short dagger: "Let me go, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of iron chains rattling suddenly in the sky.
Looking up in astonishment, he saw a handleless curved blade descending from the sky with two long chains, landing on top of his head.
Just like that, it passed directly through his body from the Tianling Gai, cutting his whole body into front and back halves, and brought a rain of blood to the sky.
Tang Jie withdrew his hand, and said leisurely: "Otherwise, die and show me!"
