Lu Qian said in his heart, "Fabricating another identity may not be perfect. If it arouses more suspicion, then it will be counterproductive. She likes to be a prostitute, so I might as well let her continue. I have nothing to lose anyway. " With a calm expression he replied, "Just as she said, this little sister is the Zui Hong Lou's top hostess, Miss Cui Hua."
There was a slight commotion in the crowd, but no one dared to raise their doubts. Otherwise, if they pointed out that she was not, Lu Qian would seize the opportunity to counterattack. In other people's eyes, if he really went to the Zui Hong Lou, how could he be so clear about their top hostess? Then he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The old man snorted coldly and said, "You are really in the mood to come to the Life Snatching Chop. This is a matter of life and death, yet you still want to bring your girl along."
Lu Qian put one hand on Cheng Jiaxuan's shoulder and pulled her in front of him. He smiled and said, "I won't hide it from Senior. In my whole life, I have always liked this kind of thing. I can't leave you for even half a moment. The closer I am to death, the more I need to have a beautiful woman by my side. Besides, you are all fighting your own business. I already said that I won't interfere. My little lover and I will sit on the side and eat melon seeds, chatting idly, and watch your performance. Just think of it as adding to the fun. How cool is that? "
The onlookers were gnashing their teeth in anger. Although Lu Qian's conduct had never been upright, in front of other people he was always a well-behaved and honest man. Who would have thought that today in front of a big crowd, he would act so intimately with a girl. But thinking about it again, this was not his first offense. A few days ago when he was ambushed by the Five Poison Cult in the forest, he and Ji Qiannian talked and teased each other as if there was no one around. After the incident, he said a few words to get away with it. Who would have thought that this time he did not even bother to cover it up.
The older generation thought that he had been expelled from Kunlun a long time ago, and had also lost his identity as the Qingtian Village's chief. Now he could be considered a wandering ghost without any school or sect. Even the righteous sects would find it difficult to use their rules to restrain him. Moreover, he had been a bandit leader in the Taihang Mountains for six years. Naturally, he had violated all kinds of rules and regulations, so there was no need to investigate him further. Although the group of young disciples were gnashing their teeth in hatred, they couldn't help but envy his freedom in private.
The man glared at him and said, "We don't care what you do. But why did you instruct her to frame me? If you don't tell me the truth today, don't expect me to let you go so easily. "
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Who said I ordered her? Her mouth is on her body. Unless I find a thread to sew it up, how can I control what she says? Unless I'm her tongue. Of course, I'm willing, but I'm not. " When he spoke, he did not look at Cheng Jiaxuan, but in his mind he was thinking about several beautiful women he admired. Naturally, words of love came out of his mouth as soon as he opened it.
The man said, "If you didn't instigate her, I don't even know her; how could she say those words to me?"
Lu Qian said, "Aiya, speaking of this, it's complicated. I can't explain it clearly in a short time. If you do this, do you think I don't even know you? I don't even know you, what good will it do to frame you? A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow, why must you explain yourself? Since you care so much about this matter, perhaps there is only one explanation. It's the simplest and also the most reasonable. It's just that you will fly into a rage again. In that case, it's better not to say it. "
The man angrily said, "Why not say it? I want you to say it in front of everybody! I didn't do anything wrong, my heart is not guilty. Why are you angry with her? " Lu Qian laughed and said, "Most likely it's because she's a child and doesn't have any scheming heart. Whatever she sees, she will say it as it is and forget to help the guest conceal the truth. Another day I'll speak to her on behalf of her old procuress, so that she can speak more cleverly in the future. That's all. "
Everybody was stunned for a moment, but when they understood what he meant, they all burst into laughter. This time their laughter was unprecedentedly loud. The man's disciples wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to; their faces turned red from holding back their laughter. The bystanders thought they were ashamed on behalf of their master, so they believed them even more.
Lu Qian did not wait for them to regain their composure, he continued, "How about this: my friend doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just that her mouth is not very good. If you want to discipline her, I don't have any objection. But righteous people must refrain from indiscriminately killing the innocent. I'll leave her to you. As long as you don't harm her life, everything is negotiable. " Finished speaking, he smiled and retreated to the side, thinking that with his interference, no matter how much trouble she caused, she would at least be able to keep her life. As for whether or not she would suffer physical pain, he really did not care.
Cheng Jiaxuan curled up in his bosom; she was so embarrassed that her heart was beating wildly, her face flushed red. But after he finished talking and laughing, he allowed her to be punished. This time she was somewhat flustered. She quickly smiled apologetically and bowed, "Uncle, Great Master, this little girl is not sensible and has caused trouble for you. You are a magnanimous person, please don't bicker with me. You have an important matter to attend to, you should quickly find the Life Claiming Strike. My life is not as valuable as an ancient treasure. Heh heh, heh heh. "She laughed foolishly, hurriedly cupped her hands and retreated with small steps out of the circle.
The man thought that if he continued to pursue the matter, it would not do him any good. On the contrary, this disgraceful matter would be deeply rooted in everyone's hearts. It would be better to change the topic. After a while, everyone would forget most of it. Thinking of this, he pulled out a long saber from his waist and shouted, "That person in the arena is called Shi Wei Zhi, let me exchange some pointers with him!" As he said this, he flew over the crowd and stood steadily in front of Shi Wei Zhi. His body was sturdy, and when he used this skill, his body was as light as a swallow. Everyone applauded his lightness kung fu.
Lu Qian smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "That was when he was blindfolded and playing hide and seek with the girls in the courtyard. His hands and feet shouldn't be too heavy, it's not good to knock over tables and chairs. Playing with flowers for many years, that's how he trained. " Cheng Jiaxuan was not angry at him, but when he heard this, he laughed even harder and nodded his head in agreement. There were a few people in the crowd who heard this joke. Although they found it amusing, in order to avoid getting into trouble, no one said anything.
The man announced his name in a clear voice and greeted Shi Wei Zhi. Then he slashed his saber at Shi Wei Zhi's waist. Shi Wei Zhi smoothly picked up his long spear and spun it quickly above his head, creating a cloud of spears. When the saber was close to his body, he slightly leaned to the side and used one hand to hold the spear and cut down, just in time to deflect the saber. Then as if he was drunk, his body swayed and his right foot slid backwards, showing an opening to lure the man to attack. Then he turned sideways and stabbed the man's right eye with his spear.
The two men exchanged blows with their sabers and spears, the situation was perilous. Lu Qian watched for a while, but his interest was long gone. From time to time he cast a few glances at the stone statue. Of course he knew that being locked up in an airtight place, it wouldn't be long before the air would be exhausted and he would pass out from suffocation. If he didn't save him, he was afraid it would be difficult for him to escape death. His heart was still worried about Nangong Xue and Cheng Jiahua. If they continued to fight like this and he couldn't save them, it would be really dangerous.
His wife, his disciple and the Death Seeker Chop were all people and things that he cherished very much. Sacrificing one for the other was something that he absolutely could not accept. But he cared a lot about his face and didn't want to give Li Yijie any face. If he thought that he was really that kind, then in the future if anything happened, he would think that he would always be kind and the conditions would not be good. If he were to give him some sincere praise, it would be more embarrassing than being hacked by a saber.
After racking his brain for a long time, he finally came up with an appropriate reason, "Even if I have to die, I can't let Xueer and Li Yijie die together." He was very satisfied with this idea. Thereupon he used this reason as an excuse to tell Cheng Jiaxuan, "Keep a close eye on them for me." Finished speaking, while everybody's attention was still on the martial art competition, he quietly hid himself on the side of the coffin and leaped into the secret passage.
Li Yijie and the others were inside the stone statue, so they could not hear clearly what was going on outside. But the upright people were also planning to participate in the fight for the Death Seeker Chop, so they more or less understood what was going on. While sighing in his heart, he muttered to himself, "I, Li Yijie, have never thought that I, Li Yijie, have lived a lifetime. Although I can't say that I am a great hero who can support the heaven and the earth, so that I am not afraid of death, I thought that I could die a heroic death on the battlefield. Who would have thought that after suffering internal injuries, I would be trapped inside the stone statue and suffocated to death. This is the greatest irony that the Heavens have given me. "
At this time his consciousness was gradually fading. A blurry light appeared in front of his eyes, making Nangong Xue's beautiful face appear somewhat holy and pure. He was just about to raise his hand to gently caress her face when he thought that he could not commit a sin before his death. If he did not follow the rules and regulations of his martial sister, he would be too ashamed to face her in the future. But then he thought that the person he owed the most in his life was her, and the person who treated him the best was also her. He felt a burst of guilt and a burst of pity. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her hand. "Xueer," he said, "we have fallen into this situation. Do you resent me?"
Nangong Xue held his hand and stared at his face with the last of her consciousness. She wanted to engrave this face in her heart, so that she would not forget it even when she was in the netherworld. She wanted to find him when she was reincarnated. She had fallen in love with this martial brother who had grown up with her. Although she had cried and hated him, deep in her heart, she had never regretted it. "Martial brother," she said softly, "how could I resent you? I was the one who found this secret passage, so I should go down by myself. I shouldn't have asked you to accompany me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have … I am the one who harmed you. You should be the one who resents me. "
Li Yijie's heart ached as if it was being twisted. "No, no," he said, "it's all my fault. I only wanted to be a chivalrous hero and look for the Seven Demons Treasure to crush Jiang Liechen's evil ambitions. The worst thing I should have done was to drag you into this … If I had another chance, I would definitely treat you well and not let you suffer any more grievances. "
Nangong Xue smiled faintly. "No," she said, "I don't blame you. I am very happy that you care about the world. Between love and the greater good of the world, there should be a distinction between what is important and what is important … "She gradually lowered her body and leaned into his embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said in a low voice," Martial brother, hold me … hold me tight. I am happy to die in your arms. "
Cheng Jiahua was ignored by the two of them. His heart was filled with resentment. He held Nangong Xue's shoulders and said, "Ah Xue, your sense of responsibility is too strong. You always blame yourself for everything. Since there was a secret passage, how could we not come in after we found it? But that Mu Qingyan deliberately carved the clues at the bottom of the coffin. She couldn't have tricked us into killing her, could she? That doesn't make sense! If we had gone straight, maybe we would have been fine. If you want to blame someone, blame me. "He comforted her on the surface and pulled her into his arms. But in reality, he wanted her to leave Li Yijie's embrace.
Nangong Xue's eyes were half open. She took a deep breath and said, "I can't blame you. I didn't insist that you stay in the Hall of the Dead. Instead, I harmed you. I am sorry …" Cheng Jiahua coldly snorted. "That despicable person I called my master only thought of killing me and burning the bridge after crossing the river. It's fine if he didn't save me, but he didn't even save you. He even dared to proclaim how much he loved you. That kind of shameless person can't be counted on in a time of crisis! "
When Li Yijie heard this, he punched the ground and said, "How hateful. I let him know how to find the Killing Strike for nothing. When this demonic saber appeared, it caused great waves again. But those martial uncles couldn't keep it and still wanted to snatch it away from Jiang Liechen. I actually died to offer this saber to that devil. To be honest, I really can't accept it. " Cheng Jiahua said, "Now we can only pray that those people are brave but not astute. They chose the wrong path and let the Killing Strike be sealed here forever. That's still not too bad."
