Chapter 7 Murderous Case

The return trip was much faster. Tang Jie and Yi Yi flew directly into the clouds and fog back to Daoxiang Village.

Halfway through the journey, Tang Jie suddenly had a sudden impulse and flew towards the sky where the strong wind was.

Flying all the way to where Gang Feng was, I felt a huge wave of energy raging around me. Tang Jie, who had experienced the power of a strong wind once, knew the horror of this strong wind. Without the combination, Tang Jie's strength was much lower than before. However, looking at the large green flames in front of him, Tang Jie took a long breath and finally plunged into the storm area without looking back.

As soon as he entered, he saw the strong winds coming from all directions, screaming like countless demons, tearing at his body crazily, and Tang Jie was busy spinning.

As Li Jing's movement continued, Tang Jie indeed felt a trace of energy entering his body.

Unlike last time when he was impatient, this time Tang Jie began to feel the existence of this energy with his heart.

After carefully feeling it, Tang Jie found that things were just as expected. In fact, these winds did not improve his cultivation power much. The reason why he was promoted was mainly because he was only a few steps away. But the energy absorbed by Li Jing is the essence of the Gang Flame, which can be used to improve one's resistance to the Gang Wind.

As long as he bathes in this strong wind for a long time, given time, Tang Jie can freely travel through this strong wind with his own body strength alone without having to merge into one body. If he encountered similar attacks in the future, Tang Jie would not have to be afraid.

Realizing this, Tang Jie was no longer polite and simply started practicing to his heart's content in this Gangfeng area.

Since it was right on the edge of the storm area, Tang Jie would withdraw from the storm area every time he couldn't hold it any longer, and then return to the storm area to continue practicing after recovering.

This practice took more than ten days in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, Tang Jie practiced crazily almost without sleep. He was either suffering and polishing himself in the storm area, or recovering himself with all his strength outside the storm area, waiting to enter, like an infinite reincarnation, forever. Tireless.

When you are thirsty and hungry, use those monsters to satisfy your hunger. A large amount of consumption requires a lot of supplements. The blood and power of monsters are strong, which is suitable for replenishing the severe losses caused by recovery. Tang Jie ate a lot of the thousands of monster corpses he had obtained in one go, and even Tang Jie himself was shocked by the sheer number.

From this point of view, if you want to practice in this Gangfeng area for a long time, you will need a lot of flesh and blood of demon corpses.

As expected, Li Jing is still like a bird, relying on resources for everything he does.

Fortunately, the battle to destroy the city

Tang Jie obtained enough monsters, and the monsters had strong blood and would not rot for more than ten days. Tang Jie hurriedly sealed them with a secret method and kept them for slow use.

More than ten days of hard training also allowed Tang Jie to improve from being able to stay in the storm area for only two or three minutes to being able to hold on for about half a cup of tea, which can be said to be a remarkable improvement.

However, more than ten days of desperate hard training also brought Tang Jie's spirit to the limit. The pain caused by his body being constantly torn apart by the storm was not something ordinary people could bear. To some extent, it was comparable to Lingchi's torture, and it lasted for more than ten years. God, even with Tang Jie's firm will, he became drowsy until the end of his practice, as if he was dead.

Therefore, Tang Jie had to stop practicing and rest for a few days to recuperate his energy, so he returned to Daoxiang Village with Yiyi.

Tang Jie returned to the village in the afternoon and saw white flags hanging high in the village, and faint cries could be heard, indicating that someone had died.

Tang Jie hurriedly went in and saw a group of people gathered in front of the village ancestral hall. There were six tablets on the ancestral hall.

Six people died? Tang Jie was startled and knew immediately that this was probably not a natural death.

The old village chief Cheng Shan was sitting under the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, shaking his head and crying. A group of people were kneeling in front of the tablet and crying. On that tablet were six corpses, wrapped in white cloth.

Yiyi finally couldn't help but asked: "What happened?"

A villager turned around when he heard the sound. When he saw Tang Jie and Yi Yi, he took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost and shouted: "They are back!"

He rushed to the ancestral hall.

All the villagers turned around together, and when they saw Tang Jie, their expressions became strange. Moreover, the aunt who once brought rice soup to Tang Jie jumped directly towards Tang Jie, but was tightly held by others. Seeing that she could not break free, she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Tang Jie asked: "Excuse me, what happened here?"

The group of villagers just looked at him and said nothing. The old village chief coughed and said, "Don't do this and invite the guests in."

The villagers then got out of the way.

Walking along the road that the villagers had given way to, Tang Jie came to the old village chief, looked at the memorial tablet behind him, and said, "It seems like something happened here while I was away?"

The old village chief sighed: "This is fate. You two have good intentions, but I can't blame you. It's just that everyone is a little excited, so please ask the immortal Haihan."

Tang Jie frowned when he heard this: "From what the village chief said, it seems that the six villagers who died here have something to do with us. But I haven't been in the village these days, and I don't know how to bring disaster to the village."

"It's not the butterfly you sent that caused the problem!" The aunt from behind cried: "Poor my son, he was beaten to death by his Bai family members!"

"Butterfly?" Tang Jie was slightly stunned, and then he felt Yiyi's hand tighten suddenly. Looking back, Yiyi's little face was already pale.

Tang Jie immediately remembered the ruby ​​butterfly in Yiyi's hand that he saw in front of the house more than ten days ago.

He said solemnly: "Did you give them the jade butterfly?"

Yiyi lowered his head and said: "They want... I thought about giving him one, it's okay... I told him not to show it to others."

Tang Jie was stunned, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

Then he turned to Cheng Shan and said, "Please ask the old village chief to tell you the whole story."

The old man then roughly told what happened.

In fact, this matter is also simple.

Two days ago was Daoxiang Village's going-to-town day. On this day, many villagers went into the city to sell mountain products and buy some household supplies. This is a common thing in rural areas far away from the city. That day, the parents of the second son also came to the city, so they took their son with them.

So the next thing happened naturally, the villagers were selling goods, and the second son was playing nearby alone.

Although Yiyi had told him not to show off, a child couldn't bear it. It happens that there are many kinds of goods in the city. When he saw something interesting that he liked but couldn't afford, his pride got the best of him, so he took out the butterfly and offered it as a treasure.

Then something happened. A young man named Bai happened to be passing by. He saw that this thing was extraordinary and wanted to buy the ruby ​​butterfly. No one was willing to sell the second son, and the young master of the Bai family was impatient, so he ordered his men to beat the little guy, dropped two taels of silver, robbed the butterfly and left.

It would be fine if things ended here.

After the second son was bullied, he went back to his parents in tears.

The villagers in Daoxiang Village were also violent. When they saw their children being bullied and robbed of their things, they all ran after them and started fighting. Three people died in this fight, two in Daoxiang Village and one in Baifu.

Afterwards, the government came forward and determined that Daoxiang villagers committed robbery for greed of money. They concluded that Daoxiang Village had lost the lawsuit and killed three people on the spot.

After the remaining villagers came back, it happened that the daughter-in-law of one of the deceased villagers was pregnant with Liujia. After hearing the news, she suffered from fetal distress and died of dystocia. Two more lives were lost abruptly.

With six corpses and seven lives, one can imagine the grief and anger of the whole village.

After hearing this series of bad news, Tang Jie and Yiyi were completely stunned.

Yiyi was stunned and said: "I didn't expect this to happen...I really didn't expect this to happen...brother!"

She grabbed Tang Jie's hand and looked at Tang Jie with tears in her eyes. Her expression at that moment was so pitiful.

Seeing Yiyi's sad look, Tang Jie felt soft in his heart. He stroked her face and said, "I know...I know you didn't mean it...but you have to know that not everything can be used in this matter. You don’t deliberately shirk responsibility. If you do something wrong, you do something wrong. You have to be brave enough to take responsibility. Do you understand?"

"Well..." Yiyi nodded with tears in her eyes.

Tang Jie then turned to Cheng Shan and said: "Old village chief, I understand the whole story. This matter started because of the butterfly given by Yiyi, so Yiyi is also involved. She gave it improperly, so she should be half responsible. But that’s only half of it. The villagers in your village also act recklessly, and they should self-examine and reflect on themselves.”

The old village chief nodded: "I understand that after all, they were too impulsive, otherwise they would never have brought the matter to such an extent. The anger against you two is just out of temporary sadness and helplessness, so please don't take it to heart."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Jie replied: "Anyway, since Yiyi is responsible for this matter, it is also my responsibility. I will take responsibility for this matter and give everyone an explanation."

The old village chief was stunned and looked at Tang Jie: "Sir, don't be impulsive. The Bai family is a big family in the city. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have colluded. If not, the dog official couldn't have just taken the lives of three people in our village. Sir, he is extraordinary. Even though you are a human being, it is not appropriate to fight with these local snakes!"

He could feel that Tang Jie must be an extraordinary person, but he didn't know how capable Tang Jie was, and he was worried that Tang Jie couldn't defeat them. The most important thing is that failing to fight may cause greater trouble for Daoxiang Village.

One impulse of the villagers had already cost six lives. If Tang Jie acted impulsively again, the entire Daoxiang Village would be destroyed.

Tang Jie knew the old man's scruples and said calmly: "Don't worry, old village chief, no matter what I do, I won't implicate you..."

He wanted to say that I would not act in the name of Daoxiang Village, but at this moment, a villager suddenly ran over from a distance and shouted: "No, no, the two tigers are gone!"

Everyone turned around, and the old village chief stepped forward tremblingly: "Do you know where he went?"

The villager shook his head: "I don't know, but his hunting knife and bow and arrow hanging on the wall are missing."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked at the same time. The old village chief stomped his cane: "If it breaks, he must be looking for trouble with the Bai family. One of the dead people is his uncle! After Erhu's parents died, he was Raised by his uncle."

Tang Jie hurriedly asked: "How long have you been gone?"

The villager shook his head and expressed ignorance.

After asking around again, no one noticed when Erhu left. They only knew that no one had seen Erhu since last night. But at that time, everyone was busy decorating the mourning hall and felt heavy, so no one noticed it.

"In other words, he should be at Bai's house by now." Tang Jie said slowly.
