Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Chapter 31

The masked man couldn't take it anymore, he scolded Gou Niang angrily, and then he moved his figure quickly, like a gust of wind came out of the bedroom and shuttled among Wen Ren's disciples, knocking one of them unconscious with one palm, and the outside fainted in a moment.

Then the masked man returned to the bedroom at a speed that he couldn't even see clearly, bit his finger and drew a barrier. A gust of wind blew past, and the room and the outside yard were separated by thick fog.

The hand he showed shocked everyone in the room.

This is too powerful!All the people in this room may not be his opponent, no wonder he dared to go to Juling Villa to collect debts by himself.

Lu Xiang suddenly panicked.

He originally thought that the underground gambling house would be afraid because of Wen Ren's aristocratic family status, but he didn't expect the other party to be so powerful, so the forces behind the gambling house should also be very powerful.

Lu Xiang was afraid that they would not be able to solve the big trouble caused by Wenren Feihong.

"Okay!" The masked man only had two eyes exposed, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but hearing his voice, he was already very anxious, "No one can break my enchantment! Now except the eight people in the house , No one will ever know about Mr. Wenren's huge debts to our gambling house!"

After saying this, everyone held their breath and looked towards the door unconsciously, for fear that someone would suddenly rush in again the next moment.

After waiting for a while, no one broke the barrier or kicked the door, so everyone exhaled in unison.

Very good!

The masked man patted his chest, held his forehead in a violent and exhausted manner, and said, "Okay, now, please tell me about your situation first, what are you here for? What's your position? Can I continue to collect debts?" ?”

Wen Renxian coughed violently, his son and wife hurriedly patted him on the back, and he stared at Lu Xiang, Bo Yangyan and Ming Zizhen, with an expression of wanting to strangle them to death.

Ming Zizhen was the first to speak, and he bowed his hands to Wen Renxian and said: "Uncle, since I have promised Ah Hong, I will not spread these things. Ah Hong should be responsible for what he did wrong, but I will do my best." I will do my best to protect my uncle's family."

Even though he knew that Ming Zi was really a human being, Wen Renxian still regarded Ming Zizhen as a villain. He pretended to smile at Ming Zizhen, and said how he "trusted my nephew very much", but secretly pinched Wen Ren Feihong severely. hand, implying that he must find a way to seal Akiko's true mouth no matter what.

Regardless of the undercurrent between them, the masked man said to Mingzi sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Ming, I'm only here to collect debts, not to ask for life. I said that our gambling house is very disciplined, and we are more respectful than you." You must cherish your reputation, if you break the rules and offend the decent people in this world, you will not end well."

Mingzi turned his face away in disdain, and didn't talk to him, and he was not annoyed, turned his head to look at Lu Xiang and Bo Yangyan, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You two... what do you mean?"

The people from Wen Ren's family also cast vicious glances at them, and the two stood in the corner like two poor little sheep. Lu Xiang cleared his throat and was about to speak when Wen Renxian suddenly made a move to Wen Ren Feihong. Wink.Wenren Feihong hesitated for a moment, then shook his hand suddenly, and two hidden weapons flew out of his sleeves, attacking Lu Xiang and the others!

Lu Xiang immediately pulled Bo Yangyan around, intending to use his back to block the hidden weapon.Surprisingly, the hidden weapon did not fly over successfully. With a sound of "Ding", Lu Xiang turned around and saw that Ming Zi really blocked the hidden weapon with his sword. The two hidden weapons immediately changed direction and flew upwards. Into the beam.

Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and Ming Zizhen was also stunned for a moment.

Ming Zi really felt that his hands were not that fast, as if he only had time to block a hidden weapon, but for some reason, both of them deviated from the original direction.

But Ming Zi really only froze for a moment and had no time to think about it. He turned his head to look at Wenren Feihong, with deep disappointment in his eyes.

"Ah Hong..." Ming Zizhen spoke slowly, his trembling voice was full of astonishment and anger, "How could you attack innocent people?"

Wenren Feihong couldn't meet Ming Zizhen's eyes, bowed his head in shame, and murmured: "I...I didn't...I have no way..."

Ming Zizhen became more and more angry, with blue veins popping up on his forehead. He gave Wenren Feihong a disappointed look, and then held his sword in front of Lu Xiang and Bo Yangyan, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "As long as I, Mingzi, really still have breath, and I won't let any innocent people get hurt. You settle your debts yourself, but you must not hurt the lives of others."

"Nephew..." Wen Renxian said slowly with a muddy voice, "Our two families are family friends, that's why I'm showing you the ugliness of this family, but these two, I don't know what their intentions are. How can we trust them? What if they spread the news of today? Isn’t that ruining Ah Hong? It’s okay if I don’t hurt them, unless the three of you are willing to sign a life-and-death contract—if today’s matter is shared If it is spread out, it will not be a good death, and the gods and bodies will be destroyed."

How could Lu Xiang agree?He couldn't let Wenrenshi bluff and deceive again.

But before Lu Xiang could speak, Ming Zizhen spoke first: "Uncle, the deed of life and death is insidious. Is it something that decent people can contaminate? I said I won't spread it, so I definitely won't. I can't replace these two young masters." As a guarantee, but I think that even if these two sons really spread the news of today, as long as they don't distort the facts, they are not wrong. It's Ah Hong who is wrong, he owes the gambling debt himself, a manly man If you dare to do it, you must dare to admit it. As Ah Hong’s close relatives and friends, we are helping him by supervising him to change his ways, and we are really harming him by covering him up. As long as he learns from now on, gets rid of bad habits, and behaves uprightly, I am I will not look down on him, and anyone who has a correct view of right and wrong will not look down on him!"

Lu Xiang really respects Ming Zizhen.

This is the demeanor that a nobleman should have, he can bear the word "Zizhen".

Gentleman, sincere and true.

After saying this, everyone in the room fell silent.Lu Xiang saw Wenren Feihong's face flushed with shame, and Wenrenxian's face turned blue, and he almost gritted his teeth at Ming Zizhen. After a long while, he smiled and said: "Nephew Xian is right, I'm old and confused. Since that's the case, I don't need to say more. The three young masters are all decent people, so I would like to ask the three of you to bear witness for us and resolve this matter properly."

That's what he said, but he clearly intended to kill. It is false to testify, but it is true to want their lives.

Lu Xiang was worried that the old fox would attack Ming Zi when he was really unprepared, so he had to force his way out and said: "I was rude when I said that day, 'Mr. The truth. Now I have found out, and in the process of investigation, I accidentally discovered these incredible things. However, Brother Bo and I are not on either side of the casino and Wenren's, we can be witnesses. But I also To get the guarantee from the head of Wenren and the gambling house, you can't hurt Brother Bo and Young Master Ming."

After Lu Xiang finished speaking, both the masked man and Wen Renxian sneered, expressing their disdain very clearly.

Who does this country boy want to support?

Then Lu Xiang snorted and said: "Also, I have already told Sijun that if something happens to me today, it will be caused by Wenrenshi and the underground gambling house! You also know my relationship with Sijun, if Something happened to me, Sijun will definitely not let you go!"

So this is a public acknowledgment that he and Sijun have engaged in Longyang?

Everyone was shocked and looked at Lu Xiang with complicated eyes.

But Bo Yangyan knew that Sijun and Lu Xiang were not in that kind of relationship, so he panicked, pulled Lu Xiang down and asked in a low voice, "When did you tell Mr. Sijun these things?"

"I didn't say it, don't expose me, I'm just acting." Lu Xiang turned his head to the others after finishing speaking, without any guilt, and said angrily, "My friends are the same, don't try to take advantage of it. If I don't pay attention to hurting my friends, Sijun will not let you go!"

Suddenly throwing a big pot to Sijun, Lu Xiang felt that he finally had some confidence.

Sure enough, both the masked man and Wen Renxian looked at him with more vigilance.

"Okay, if you don't start talking, it will be dawn." Lu Xiang put his hips on his hips, as if he was in charge of the overall situation, "Everyone should talk civilly and rationally, don't get excited, don't hurt others."

The masked man stared at Lu Xiang again, then turned his head and walked towards Wen Renxian. The two confronted each other for a while, and Wen Renxian gritted his teeth and said, "Then please tell me the ins and outs of this matter in detail, sir."

The masked man took out two pieces of paper from his arms, shook them and showed them to Wen Renxian, and then said: "Here are two written documents, one is the life and death contract signed by Mr. Wenren at our gambling house, promising to have debts You must return it, or you will die suddenly. And this one is the IOU signed by Mr. Wenren. Mr. Wenren bet a lot of things when he entered the gambling house for the last time, but unfortunately, Mr. Wenren was not lucky. , lost...all his heirs."

"What!" Wen Renxian stood up suddenly from the couch, and rushed towards the masked man. The masked man dodged back quickly, and Wen Renxian rushed to nothing. After standing still, his face was full of horror. Looking at the written evidence in black and white from a distance, he felt that everything in front of him was spinning, his body was shaking, and he was about to fall backward when his eyes were dark.

"Father!" Wenren Feihong shouted in panic, and quickly stepped forward to support him.

Wen Renxian's chest kept rising and falling, and he gasped for a long time with difficulty and finally managed not to faint. Wen Renyi and Mrs. Wen Ren also came up to him, comforted him softly and helped him back to the small couch and sat down.After Wen Renxian recovered, he gave Wenren Feihong a slap in the face, and kept yelling: "You unfilial son of a bitch! You son of a bitch!"

The masked man ignored the farce of their family, but turned around and showed the two pieces of written evidence in his hand to the three witnesses.

When Lu Xiang saw the name and bloody fingerprints on the paper, he couldn't help being a little startled.

No wonder Wen Renxian was so angry that he was half dead. Once the life-and-death contract was signed, even the immortals would not be able to help Wen Ren Feihong.

Wen Renxian's family quarreled for a long while, and the few people here couldn't stand it when they saw him repeatedly scolding "the son of a bitch" and "son of a bitch".

After all, it was the first time I saw someone scolding his son for scolding himself and his wife together.

The masked man waited for Wen Renxian to scold him exhausted, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said gently, "Wen Renren's master calms down."

"Go away!" Wen Renxian was furious, and slapped the masked man's hand away, the teacup fell to pieces, and the tea spilled all over the masked man's hands.

But he wasn't angry about it, and slowly wiped off the tea with a handkerchief, and then said, "If Master Wenren has calmed down, can we continue talking?"

Wen Renxian took a few breaths, and said with a pale face: "Now my son's heir, my Qiankun bag and the sword are in your hands, what do you want? What do we need to use to get these three things together?" Things to redeem?"

"Wen Ren is the head of the sect, we have reached this point, let's stop playing games with each other." The masked man sneered, and said, "It is clearly written on the paperwork, we will never spread the matter of Wen Ren, as long as he will Give us that sword, but we don’t have to do anything else. Originally, the master asked me to come here just to return these two papers to Mr. Wenren. But Mr. Wenren teased us like this, tricking us with a fake sword Could it be that the Wenren family of Xishu bullied our small gambling house because of their status as a family?"

Wen Renxian's lips kept trembling, and he said in a hoarse voice: "If you want to make trouble, just say so! Say that the sword is fake! It can't be fake!"

The masked man had exhausted his patience and impatiently took out the long-lost sword from the Qiankun bag.

All eyes were attracted, staring at the sword closely.

"Master Wenren, don't pretend anymore! Take a good look!" The masked man threw the sword to the ground, and the sword fell out of the scabbard.

It was the sword everyone had seen in the secret room, with a pure black body and a hilt carved with a dragon head.

But that sword had been broken in two!

Lu Xiang and Bo Yangyan looked at each other, but they were not too shocked.

Sure enough, it is false.

But the reaction of the others was much more intense when they saw the broken sword, all of them stared wide-eyed, especially Wen Renxian, who suddenly took a deep breath and couldn't let it out, clutching his heart and froze on the spot.

The masked man pulled out the scimitar from his waist, squatted down and stabbed at the sword suddenly, only to hear a "ding", the broken sword broke again!

"You all see clearly! Three witnesses, are we bullying people, or are they fooling people?" The masked man put away his scimitar, took a step back and said fiercely, "Master Wenren, at this point we Don't talk nonsense, just hand over the real sword! Otherwise, you Wenren family will be waiting to die!"

Ming Zi really said eagerly: "Uncle, since that's the case, you should take out the real sword, no matter how precious that thing is, it's just a dead thing!"

Wen Renxian's face was ashen, and he kept a stiff posture for a long time without moving. Just when everyone thought he had passed out with his eyes open, he suddenly moved, let out a strange cry, and then flung himself away from the surrounding area. people's support.He stumbled and fell off the bed, knelt beside the broken sword, picked it up with old and trembling hands, trying in vain to fix it.

That look was even more sad than knowing that his son's life was in other people's hands.Tears flowed down his face, his whole face was distorted, he opened his mouth and cried hoarsely: "Impossible...Impossible! Junior sister! Junior sister can't lie to me! Junior sister can't lie to me! Junior sister!"

"Master!" Mrs. Wen Ren burst into tears, and rushed forward to grab Wen Renxian's arm, but before she could say anything more, Wen Renxian pushed her away.Wenren Feihong and Wen Renyi also pounced on him, trying to calm Wen Renxian down, but no one could control him at all.

He completely lost his mind, frantically trying to put the broken sword back together, the masked man said in disgust: "Stop acting! Hand over the real sword!"

Lu Xiang took a step forward and said, "Sir, you saw it. The head of Wenren didn't even know that the sword was fake. He's lost his mind now, so it's useless for you to ask him for it!"

At this point, the masked man naturally saw that Wen Renxian was not pretending, but how could he be reconciled?After so much effort, he actually took a fake sword!

The masked man grabbed Wen Renxian's collar, and finally struggled: "Where is the real sword!"

Wen Renxian didn't seem to be able to hear the words of the people around him, he just held on to the broken sword, the sword cut his hand to pieces, and the blood flowed all over the ground, but he didn't feel the pain at all, so he shouted: "Junior Sister Don't lie to me, Junior Sister has me in her heart! Junior Sister...Junior Sister...I didn't kill Junior Sister!"

But no matter how hoarse he shouted, the past gradually emerged before his eyes.

He saw that gorgeous woman again, saw her coldness when she rejected him, saw her resolute when she eloped with Yu Yunshan, and saw her helplessness when she hugged the child and begged him.

But he strangled her child in front of her, and in a fit of rage he cut her neck with the sword.

From then on, his mind began to be confused, and he would return to the day she died from time to time. He fantasized again and again that she died by killing herself, and he was too late to save her.

He thought too much, and even deceived himself. He had a sweet dream. In the dream, he and her fell in love. She couldn't let him go until she died, and she left him a token.

A dream for decades.

But at this moment, the broken sword pierced his dream, and he had never seen reality so clearly.

The reality is, she never looked him in the eye.

He suddenly fixed his eyes, as if seeing her contemptuous smile.

Even the masked man was frightened by Wen Renxian's expression, he took a step back, calmed down for a while, then gritted his teeth and continued threatening.

"I'll give you one last chance, hand over that sword now, or I'll burn this note right away, and you'll never have the chance to redeem Wenrenshi's heir again!"

Wen Renxian's eyes were still dull, and everyone looked at his strange expression in silence.

Lu Xiang suddenly met his gaze, and somehow felt a chill down his back.

Wen Renxian slowly opened his mouth.

"Junior Sister...Junior Sister..." Wen Renxian burst into tears, and said sadly and guiltily, "Junior Sister...I killed Junior Sister...It was me...It was me! It was me!"

His shouting became louder and louder, and when he yelled the last sentence, his voice was completely broken, and no one expected it. At this moment, he suddenly spit out a big mouthful of blood, and then fell back with his eyes open.

Lu Xiang's expression changed, and he stepped forward, grabbing Wen Renxian's pulse with one hand.

Pulse stopped.

Lu Xiang's face turned pale, he stood up blankly, and looked at the people in the room with some panic.

When Wen Renxian died, he died right in front of him, so suddenly and so quickly, there was no time to save him.

Mrs. Wenren was the first to understand the meaning of Lu Xiang's expression. She yelled "Master" heart-piercingly, then rushed over and pushed Lu Xiang away, hugged Wen Renxian's body, and cried out in grief. Before she had time to send it out, she had already passed out.

Only then did Wenren Feihong rush over, staring at Wen Renxian's eyes that had not been closed until his death.

This is his father.Although this man is always blindly indulging in a relationship that does not exist, he has not fulfilled his father's responsibility.

But this is not the reason for him to degenerate and kill his father in the end.

He did something wrong, and at this moment, he really realized that he did something wrong. It was wrong to step into the gate of the gambling house, it was wrong to sign the paper with a red eye, and it was wrong to make a play and steal the sword to pay off the debt. wrong.

But it's too late to be wrong now.

Wenren Feihong lowered his head and wept silently, tears had already covered his face.

The tears of sincere remorse made people very sad, but the masked man didn't care, he was full of anxiety and rage, holding the two papers tightly, the palm of the other hand was already a ball of fire.

"Young Master Wenren, you really make it difficult for me." The masked man said through gritted teeth, "Who the hell wants your heirs! How can I go back and explain to the master like this!"

Obviously, this matter can no longer be resolved peacefully. Everyone underestimated the power of the underground gambling house.

Ming Zizhen drew his sword and stood fearlessly in front of Wenren Feihong, even knowing that their chances of winning were slim.

The two parties had already separated into distinct camps, only Lu Xiang and Bo Yangyan were still standing in the middle, and the masked man threw a look at them, intending to warn them not to meddle in their own business.

Instead, Lu Xiang took a step forward.

He was actually quite scared, but he still stood in the middle of them, and whispered: "Well... Actually... Wenren really doesn't have that sword, and it's useless for you to hold these two documents. Sir, you If you continue to entangle, it will be unreasonable."

Lu Xiang sighed, wanting to scold himself for standing up.

Originally, he just wanted to find out the truth of the matter. He didn't want to save Wenren Feihong. After all, Wenren Feihong wanted to kill him with a hidden weapon just now.

But watching people die in front of him, he really couldn't do it.He was indeed terrified, but he just couldn't back down.

The masked man said arrogantly: "Why are you making trouble for no reason? I came to collect debts, and Wen Renxian was so mad at his own son, what do I do?"

"Sir, you keep saying that gambling houses follow rules. Are your rules just to trick Mr. Wen Renyi?" Lu Xiang looked back at Wen Renyi, but didn't immediately expose the matter. He wasn't sure what Wenren Feihong heard. Whether this news can be sustained, so I didn't say it directly.

Both the masked man and Wen Renyi's expressions changed, and then the masked man looked at Lu Xiang vigilantly and said, "How did you know?"

"I guessed, and it's not important." Lu Xiangdao, "Sir, you don't have to fight to the death, even if it's for the reputation of the gambling house and the trust of the guests in the future, sir should consider stopping."

The masked man hesitated for a moment.

For the sword, the gambling house had set Wenren's trap for more than ten years. This matter was also a secret. They kept it a secret for a long time. How could they let this child know?If it gets out, the reputation of the casino will definitely be ruined. It is a big deal that no one wants to come to the casino again, and it is also a big deal to cause trouble to the upper body.

"Who are you?" The masked man looked at this overly fair and beautiful child for the first time.

Lu Xiang was puzzled and said: "Why do you have to ask me who I am? I am not someone, I am me."

The masked man was not in the mood to chat with Lu Xiang anymore. He had a fierce look in his eyes, and secretly clenched his fists, and then said: "Why do you meddle in your own business, kid? Now that you know..."

Bo Yangyan broke into a cold sweat from fright, and hurriedly shouted: "You hurt him, Lord Sijun will not let you go!"

"Sijun, hehe. Is he here? Don't let me go, you have to find me first." The masked man took a step forward and stared straight at Lu Xiang.
