Chapter 419

An inexplicable anger rose in Mengqi's heart. He almost walked over to ask about it. Zhen Hui, who had been staring at the kitchen, also turned to look at Gu Changqing with a look of pity and concern.

Family should not be implicated, family should not be implicated … Perhaps it was because he was born in a relatively stable country in his previous life that he only had a thin and hollow impression of the massacre of a family. He had never experienced it himself. After all, it had never happened to him. Therefore, when he heard that his Master's family had been killed and that he had also killed their entire family to avenge them, he felt more sympathy than speculation. But now, although Gu Changqing's family was not his family, it had started because of him. His feelings were completely different!

His chest was burning with rage. He wanted nothing more than to wipe out this group of heartless bandits, and he wanted nothing more than to tear the culprit of this incident into pieces.

Taking a few deep breaths, Mengqi patted Gu Changqing's shoulder. "Changqing, don't be sad. Maybe it's just a rumor."

Gu Changqing shuddered, his expression showing a bit of fear. He forced a smile and said, "Yes, it might be a rumor. Even though the Gu Clan Fort doesn't have any Exterior masters, we are still a great clan. How can we not protect our clansmen? Besides, there's also Shen Du Liao. He has never been on good terms with Ze Luoju, how could he let Ze Luoju work for him …"

He said a lot in one breath and found many excuses to prove that what he had just heard was a rumor.

Feeling emotional, he did not use Secret Voice-sending. Fortunately, he was in a remote place and the others were talking among themselves, so no one noticed. But even if someone did, Mengqi was not afraid. Listening to their discussion, it seemed that Jin Gang Temple had just surrendered. His Master and the others should still be in Bomi and had not returned to Shaolin Temple. At this time, the well-known horse bandits were either hiding or guarding their camps. No one could threaten him.

"Alas, the Gu family is a big family. How could they hand over their people just because of a letter from 'Evil Scholar' Kang Zhi? Who would want to follow such a family in the future? " The man dressed like a rich merchant sighed. He was also from a family that had been passed down for many generations. He despised and was puzzled by the Gu family's actions.

Hearing this, Gu Changqing suddenly leaned back as if he almost fainted. His expression was sad and confused. His eyes were empty and flinching, hiding a burning flame.

The one who talked to the rich merchant was a desert tramp who was well-informed. He sighed and said, "It's the Gu boy's fault. If he had been with the Snow Mountain Sect and killed Ze Luoju's horse bandits, who could say anything about him? Shen Duliao would only be happy to see it happen and protect the Gu family better. "

"However, he actually colluded with the monks from the Central Plains and killed two Nine Apertures Masters from the Immensity Sea. This is one of the things that Great Asura hates the most. Even if he is a God of Earth and doesn't care about ants, why would Shen Duliao help Gu Clan Fort at the risk of ruining his impression of him? Heh, if it wasn't for this relationship, with the Sobbing Old Man's protective personality, he would've already killed his entire family. "

"That's rational. Otherwise, Ze Luoju would have killed his whole family." "Therefore, 'Evil Scholar' Kang Zhi sent two letters through the white-headed bird. One was to Shen Duliao, and the other was to the Gu family's Patriarch. The former made Shen Duliao's tacit consent, and the latter didn't ask for too much. It didn't destroy the Gu family, but only asked for Gu Changqing's immediate family members. Without the protection of Shen Duliao, and considering Ze Luoju's revenge, the Gu family's Patriarch gave in."

"That's rational. Otherwise, Ze Luoju would have killed his whole family."

Although the Gu family's Fort and the Evil Ridge were separated by more than half of the Immensity Sea, a month was enough for the white-headed bird to make two round trips.

The rich merchant let out a long sigh. Thinking about his family, it seemed that he could only give up the few and take care of the majority. He said dejectedly, "Is there no justice in the Immensity Sea? Whoever is stronger can control other people's lives?"

"Haha, you've been a businessman for many years. Don't you understand? Fists are reason, and so are money and power! "The desert tramp laughed.

"The Great Jin Dynasty is better. At least the aristocratic families and sects have to care about their pride and be reasonable on the surface." The rich merchant shook his head.

As for the evil sects, they were suppressed by the aristocratic families and sects, so they wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

Listening to their words, Gu Changqing gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists so hard that blood flowed out. It seemed that his nails were embedded in his flesh.

"Did I do wrong? Did I really make a mistake? "He raised his head as if he was asking Meng Qi, but his eyes were empty. No one knew who he was looking at.

Mengqi was also sad and angry. He took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. "No, you didn't do wrong. They are too vicious and lawless."

Gu Changqing jumped up and sat down again. He said expressionlessly, "Junior Brother Zhen Ding, please find a way to get to the bottom of this."

His eyes were indifferent, with a kind of calmness that made people's hearts palpitate.

Mengqi nodded and went out to walk around the street. He found a young boy and gave him some silver. He asked him to go to a hotel and ask around.

After a while, Meng Qi returned to the inn. The table was filled with roasted lamb legs and other meats that he had ordered earlier. However, they were all cold and untouched. Even Zhen Hui had been telling stories from Buddhist scriptures to comfort Gu Changqing. He was "dismissive" of the delicacies.

"I'm afraid it's true," Mengqi said seriously. His right hand clenched the hilt of his saber. He couldn't wait to kill the horse bandits.

"How did my parents and my brother and sister die?" Gu Changqing paused several times as if he didn't dare to know the answer.

Mengqi looked around and said loudly, "Waiter, bring the food to the room."

This was not a good place to talk.

Gu Changqing stood up like a walking corpse and walked to the guest room on the second floor.

Mengqi closed the door. After making sure there was no one around, he said, "Uncle and aunt knew what would happen to them if they were sent to the Evil Ridge. To avoid the humiliation and torture, they killed their younger brother and sister on the spot and committed suicide."

Gu Changqing looked at Mengqi in a daze. Two lines of tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes. He said in a sobbing voice, "My father risked his life for the family many times, which left him with a chronic disease. Every cold weather, he would feel pain all over his body and couldn't sleep at night. My mother was born in a scholarly family and was well-educated. She never argued with them and only took care of my father and us quietly. My younger brother was only ten years old and had just started to accumulate Qi. He was a strong young man. My younger sister was only a few years old, lively and lovely. She always ran around with me. How could they bear to do that? "

"Changqing …" Mengqi wanted to say something, but he felt that all the comforting words were useless in the face of such a tragedy.

Gu Changqing buried his head in his hands and cried bitterly. "I was 20 years old when I was Enlightened the Apertures. My father had high hopes for me. But, but I got them into trouble …"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Mengqi with tears on his face. "Is it really wrong to be chivalrous? What kind of hero are you if you can't even protect your own family? "

His voice was full of deep confusion and self-denial.

Mengqi looked at Gu Changqing sincerely. "This happened because of me. Even if it's wrong, it's my fault. Besides, I don't think it's wrong to be chivalrous. The only fault is that we didn't become more cunning and ruthless than the bad guys. If we want to be heroes, we have to be more cunning than the horse bandits. We have to kill them all and leave no trace of future trouble."

He was also reflecting on some of his previous practices. It was definitely not an empty saying to eliminate all evil.

"Is that so?" Gu Changqing asked, still shaken.

"Don't you want to take revenge?" Mengqi asked deliberately in order to help Gu Changqing get out of his self-blame.

Gu Changqing jumped to his feet. His eyes were "burning" with indescribable hatred. "Yes! I couldn't wait to kill the Evil Scholar right now and kill him, the main culprit! I can't wait to make the clan leader kneel in front of me! This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable! "

His whole body seemed to come back to life.

Mengqi nodded and said with a serious face, "You have to understand that only with power can you help us take revenge and uphold justice."

"Yes, and I've figured out that it's useless to reform bad guys. Only when they know that if they do bad things, they have to pay ten times the price, or even more, will they stop." Gu Changqing said with hatred.

Meng Qi did not refute. This was also part of his opinion. The right way was to reform and punish at the same time. For small crimes, one could rely on reform and light punishment. For those who were devoid of conscience, only severe punishment could deter people like him. At this time, reform was weak and useless.

He pointed to the food on the table and said calmly, "Since we want to take revenge, we have to replenish our strength."

"And then?" Gu Changqing was looking forward to Mengqi's arrangement.

Mengqi pulled out the Red Sun Evil Blade. "And then we go to Evil Ridge!"

"What?" Although Gu Changqing wanted to take revenge, he didn't think about it now. He was still too weak!

"This started because of me. I'll help you take revenge even if I have to go through water and tread on fire. Now there are only the Evil Scholar with Four Acupores and two Seven Acupores masters left in Evil Ridge. The rest of the horse bandits with less than Six Acupores. Although they outnumber us, we still have a chance. At least we can defeat Ze Luoju or other leaders and return." Mengqi said in a low voice, "Only when the horse bandits know that even in Evil Ridge, they can't escape karma, will they do less bad things."

He didn't think about asking for help from his master or other elders, because under normal circumstances, they wouldn't kill. At most, they would take the Evil Scholar back to Shaolin Temple, suppress him in the back mountain, and reform him.

"Yes, the Evil Scholar definitely didn't expect us to attack Evil Ridge directly!" Gu Changqing said with a twisted expression.

Mengqi pointed his Buddhist Commandment Blade in the direction of Evil Ridge and said coldly, "It's dangerous, but I'm not afraid. I just want to kill my way to the Evil Scholar and take his head. I just want to set fire to the evil people's camp. What about you?"

"I'm not afraid of death. What should I be afraid of?" Gu Changqing's face was pale, but there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, I want to go too! Brother Gu's family died trying to save me. "Zhen Hui was rarely serious.

Mengqi thought for a while and said, "You secretly set the fire. Don't confront them directly."

"Yes." Zhen Hui nodded heavily.

Mengqi sheathed his blade and sat down. "Then let's eat. After eating, we'll flatten Evil Ridge!"
