Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 7: Blood case
Going back 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 burst 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 strong winds coming from all directions, roaring like countless demons, tearing at his body crazily, and Tang Jie was busy turning around.
As Li Jing's movement continued, Tang Jie indeed felt a trace of energy entering his body.
Unlike last time, when he was impatient and anxious, 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 gang winds did not improve his cultivation power much. The reason why he was promoted was mainly because he was only one step 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 only his own body strength 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 the Gangfeng District.
Because it was right on the edge of the storm area, Tang Jie would exit the storm area every time he couldn't hold it any longer, and then return to the storm area to continue practicing after he recovered.
This practice lasted for more than ten days in the blink of an eye.
In 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 world. Reincarnation, never tired.
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.
It seems that if you want to practice in this Gangfeng area for a long time, you will need a lot of demon corpse flesh and blood.
As expected, Li Jing is still like a bird, relying on resources for everything he does.
Fortunately, in 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 later 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 work also brought Tang Jie's spirit to a limit. The pain caused by his body being constantly torn apart by the storm was not something ordinary people could endure. To a certain extent, it was comparable to Lingchi's torture. It took more than ten days, even with Tang Jie's firm will, until the end of the practice, he felt drowsy and as if dead.
So 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 entered 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.
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 ask: "What happened?"
Hearing the sound, a villager turned around and 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.
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 gave way to, Tang Jie came to the old village chief, looked at the spiritual 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 forgive me."
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 behind cried: "Poor my son, he was beaten to death by his Bai family members!"
"Butterfly?" Tang Jie was slightly stunned, and then 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 in a deep voice: "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.
Actually, this is 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 items. 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.
Then the next thing happened naturally. The villagers were selling goods, and the second son was playing nearby alone.
Although Yiyi told him not to show off, a child's temperament cannot 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.
At this time, 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, snatched the butterfly, and left.
That's it if things end 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 belongings, they all chased them with money. The two sides started fighting. Three lives were lost in this fight, two in Daoxiang Village and one in Baifu.
Afterwards, the government came forward and determined that the villagers of Daoxiang committed the robbery because of greed for 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 dead villagers was pregnant with Liujia. After hearing the news, she was affected by fetal gas and died of dystocia, suddenly losing two lives.
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.
Yi Yi 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 this is nothing. You can shirk responsibility by saying you didn’t mean it. 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 the gift improperly, and there should be some Half of the responsibility, but 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 they were too impulsive after all, otherwise they would never have brought the matter to such an extent. The anger against the two of them is just out of temporary sadness and helplessness, so please don't take it to heart. Up."
"It doesn't matter." Tang Jie replied: "In any case, since this matter is Yiyi's responsibility, it is also my responsibility. I will take up the matter and give everyone an explanation."
The old village chief was stunned and looked at Tang Jie: "Sir, please 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. You are an extraordinary person, but you should not 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 concerns and said calmly: "Don't worry, old village chief, no matter what I do, I will not 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: "It's bad~IndoMTL.com~It's bad, 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: "It's broken. He must have gone to the Bai family to cause trouble. One of the dead people was 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.
Asking 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.
"That is to say, he should be at Bai's house by now." Tang Jie said slowly.
