Chapter 18: The touching fatherly love, Guanyin’s cry to suppress the ghost statue
Chen Dabao put his hands behind his back and watched Xiao Liu leave. The flying snow in the sky fluttered and fell on the tips of his white hair.
There is a bit of dissociation and complexity in the eyes.
When Sun Changbiao died, what Lao Chen lamented and cared about was naturally not Sun Changbiao's death. In this era, it was completely normal for someone to die.
But what Lao Chen cares about is Li Che's mobility.
It was just found out that the person who coveted Xixi was Sun Changbiao who worshiped the Lingying Cult. As a result, as soon as he got off work... Li Che hurriedly killed Sun Changbiao.
Decisive, ruthless, and quick to act!
Was it really Li Che who made the move?
Where did he get the strength to kill Sun Changbiao?
Even Lao Chen felt a little dazed and confused.
The original intention of taking a walk changed. He took a step, turned a corner, and went to Sun Changbiao's yard.
As soon as they approached the courtyard, they heard loud cries.
Outside the yard, a crowd of people were crowded, and they even saw the housekeeper, Sun. His old face was pale, his whole body was trembling, his fists were clenched, he was angry and sad.
"Who is it? Who killed my son?"
"My son is a peaceful and down-to-earth person who is kind to others. Who is so vicious?"
Butler Sun cried bitterly, and the pain of losing his son penetrated into his heart.
Mrs. Liu on the side was helped to sit on a chair, weeping and sobbing.
Lao Chen went in and inquired for a while, feeling strange in his heart.
"He is as tall and burly as a hill, with palms as big as cattail leaves. He can knock down the door of a room with one kick, and kick Gong Sun Changbiao..."
"The martial artist at the Bone Tempering Realm made a move... It seems that it's not Li Che. Li Che has just finished grinding his skin. If he fights against Sun Changbiao, he will only be beaten to death."
"It's weird, how could there be such a coincidence?"
Old Chen was also amazed.
Looking at Sun Changbiao's decapitated body, with his bones broken and internal organs kicked, he shook his head, his death was a bit miserable.
He turned around and looked over, and saw Sun Changbiao's four daughters standing in the corner, timid and cowardly. The eldest daughter, the leader, looked at her father's body. There was no sadness in her eyes, but...
There is pleasure.
…
…
The news that Sun Changbiao was killed by gangsters instantly spread like a storm in Xu Ji's compound.
Suddenly, there was a big wave.
The third shopkeeper was out of the city and not in the shop, so this incident happened, which had a huge impact.
The next day, Xu Ji from the inner city sent someone to investigate, accompanied by detectives from the government office in the outer city.
Xu Beihu was wearing a fox cloak. On his burly body, strands of solid blood were moving like arcs of electricity. Looking at Sun Changbiao's body placed in the coffin, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"He was so powerful that he kicked his internal organs with one kick, and during the exchange of punches, he broke Sun Changbiao's arm bones with a crushing force. There is no doubt that the person who did it...must be a domineering bone-hardening person." Wu Fu, as for the final killing method of severing the head, the wound is so smooth, indicating that the weapon is extremely sharp... but it looks like it was made with a sword."
Next to Xu Beihu, Zhao Chuanxiong, the head of the Outer City Government Office, was also tall and tall. He carried a wide-bladed sword at his waist and analyzed with squinted eyes.
"Captain Zhao, this is a problem for you. I never thought that after all these years, I, Xu Ji'an, would have gangsters break into my Xu Ji's shop and commit murder."
Xu Beihu cupped his fists.
Zhao Chuanxiong smiled and waved his hand: "Perhaps it was done by other people. They wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and deliberately disgusted you Xu Ji. But it is also strange... why are you looking for Sun Changbiao? And why is it him?"
Xu Beihu was also confused and couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking about it.
Zhao Chuanxiong smiled, raised his hand and waved gently.
"Search and see if there are any clues."
After finishing speaking, several detectives brought by Zhao Chuanxiong set out to search Sun Changbiao's mansion.
Mrs. Liu, who was sitting on a chair and crying, saw a flash of panic in her eyes when she saw the police searching her, and then despair.
A moment later, one of the detectives shouted: "Found it!"
Immediately, he ran back with a "spiritual infant statue with three heads and six arms".
"Lingying Cult?!"
Xu Beihu's eyes glared angrily, his hair flying. He turned to Mrs. Liu and shouted angrily: "Are you waiting to worship the Lingying Cult?!"
Zhao Chuanxiong narrowed his eyes and stroked his palm slightly: "It turns out to be the Lingying Sect, so that's pretty much it..."
He glanced at the four girls standing in the corner. The youngest was only two or three years old, with her head tilted, her hair messy, and her face full of confusion.
Xu Beihu had a sullen face. Although the Lingying Cult had infiltrated the shop, which was something that had been expected for a long time, the sudden revelation made Xu Ji feel embarrassed.
"Now this matter is probably clear. Sun Changbiao worshiped the Lingying Cult, and his daughter must have been attracted by the Lingying Cult. He wanted to take her away and sacrifice her, but Sun Changbiao didn't want to and wanted to save his daughter's life, so he stopped him. His life was taken away by the bad guys.”
"Tsk, tsk, it's such a touching father's love..." "Ms. Liu, are you saying yes or no?"
Liu, who was sitting on the chair and still crying, was suddenly stunned.
Li Che, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but twitching when he heard the arrester's analysis.
Sun Changbiao did die from his father's love, but it was Li Che's father's love...
Instead of waiting and watching, Li Che went to the training ground to practice.
…
…
The atmosphere in the practice ground was lively.
The new wood carvers recruited by the shop this year have just received the skin-grinding training method. They are all high-spirited, carrying stone locks, and continue to practice.
Zhao Xuan, with straight and slender legs, was giving instructions to the newcomers. When she saw Li Che appear, she immediately greeted with a smile: "Master Li is here?"
Li Che smiled gently and nodded in response.
Wang Zhengpin on the side was sweating profusely and stopped training: "Master Li, have you heard that Master Sun died miserably. His bones were crushed by the villains, tortured to death, and finally he was cut. It’s terrible to see his head.”
Li Che's mouth twitched, and it became more and more exaggerated... How could he be so cruel?
However, Li Che still joined the chat with a sigh on his face.
Several old people were chatting, but the newcomers did not dare to interfere. After a while, Li Che began to practice.
The cultivation he is showing now is a masterpiece of skin polishing, which has already made many people envious.
Li Che will not fall behind if he practices every day. After all, the [Dragon Elephant King Kong] Tao Fruit can be matured, so daily practice is essential.
However, while practicing, Li Che was thinking about the tendon opening method and the inner strength method.
Just when he was thinking about Chen, Xu Beihu came to the practice ground.
"Second shopkeeper."
Everyone stopped their movements and clasped their fists in a salute.
Xu Beihu's expression softened a bit: "I came to the outer city today to investigate the cause of Sun Changbiao's death. I can also give you some guidance on your cultivation."
His eyes fell on Li Che, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "It took one year to polish the skin, and the talent for body training is very good. Practice hard and don't slack off. If you have any needs, please ask."
Hearing this, Li Che cupped his fists and said, "Second shopkeeper... Now that I have successfully polished my skin, can I ask for a method to open tendons and internal strength?"
"I passed by Master Sun's yard today and saw the miserable state of his death. I was still frightened. I heard that Master Sun was a father who loved his father like a mountain and died tragically to protect his daughter. I... was afraid."
Li Che's words were full of sincerity and worry.
When Xu Beihu heard this, he fell silent. He had certainly heard about Li Che.
Li Che had gone to Xu Ji to seek asylum because he was worried about the Ling Ying Cult. As a result... Now that something like this has happened, Xu Ji has indeed lost face. This is a sign of declining prestige.
However, Xu Ji's rules cannot be broken. Xu Beihu shook his head with a look of regret on his face: "Xu Ji's rules... you need to reach the perfection of skin grinding before you can teach you the tendon-opening method and the internal strength method... "
"You have to lay a solid foundation before you can move forward. Otherwise, the tall building will collapse easily. I'm telling you this in advance. I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the temptation and practice it in advance and hurt your body. This is for your own good."
Hearing this, Li Che looked regretful.
Seeing this, Xu Beihu hesitated for a moment, then took a porcelain bottle in his hand and handed it to Li Che: "Well...it contains the 'Skin Polishing Pills', a total of six...as a reward for your success in skin polishing."
"Take this pill, one pill every five days. With your talent, in more than a month, you can probably complete the skin resurfacing."
"At that time, you can come to me for the tendon-opening method and the internal strength method."
Hearing this, Li Che felt a little regretful, but his face showed joy. He took the "skin-grinding pill" and had already made up his mind to go to the market to see if he could buy the inner energy method.
Lao Chen said that they were not members of the Xu Jixu family, so the pulse-opening method and the internal energy method that they were qualified to practice were actually not advanced, and were not much different from the high-grade internal energy methods that could be bought in the market outside.
Seeing Li Che collect the elixir, a smile suddenly appeared on Xu Beihu's rough face.
"Li Che, I have a job here and I came here to find you."
"Knowing that your wood carvings are full of meaning, the young master of the Si family in the inner city found me and wanted to ask you to carve a wood carving in exchange for five gold leaves."
Li Che was shocked when he heard this.
Five gold leaves? !
Five hundred taels!
Big customer!
But this undoubtedly shows that the other party's request is by no means simple, and this wood carving work must be extremely difficult.
Li Che looked solemn, clasping his fists and staring: "I wonder what the Master of the Si family... wants to carve?"
Xu Beihu looked at the cautious Li Che and smiled.
"The nine-song Guanyin weeps to suppress the ghost statue."
