Chapter 6 Rumors

Huangshanling.

A hill in the suburbs of Qingya County, with mountains at the end. The ten-mile mountain stretches endlessly, guarding Qingya County like a wall. The old pine forest exudes the stench of rotting leaves, and it is very soft to step on.

Above, the sunlight shines down along the pine needles, mottled and beautiful.

There are almost no people coming here on weekdays. In addition to ginseng diggers and blind bears, there are only squirrels and poisonous snakes. Today, it is particularly lively here. Several groups of people came and went, and there was a battle behind. It was not until now that it calmed down.

"All solved?"

"Naturally, there will be no survivors if I take action."

The cold wind whimpered, and the pine needles shook.

Two voices rang in the forest. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw two men in blue and red clothes standing in the forest, talking to each other on the left and right. The man on the left wore a palace eunuch hat, with white hair hanging down on both sides, and his narrow eyes gave people a cold and mean feeling. Another man was sitting cross-legged on a stone with his official uniform stained with blood and his hair loose. There was a blood-stained long sword between his legs. At this moment, he was slowly wiping the blood off the sword with a white cloth.

Not far away, there were corpses lying in all directions. The pungent smell of blood filled the entire area and spread with the mountain wind.

Some beasts smelled the smell and slowly gathered around.

"It's better to do so. This matter is too important. If something unexpected happens..."

The white-haired eunuch heard the movement and frowned slightly.

"That's your business. I just take money and kill people."

The man who wiped the sword stood up, sheathed the sword, turned around and walked to the other side.

"Remember to come to me next time if something like this happens. The old rules, one thousand taels per person! Just kill people, don't ask about identity."

The beasts that gathered in the distance subconsciously retreated after the man approached.

The instinct of the beasts made them feel the danger from this man.

"Don't ask about your identity? Hey!"

The white-haired eunuch chuckled only after the man's back completely disappeared, but the disdain in his eyes could not be hidden.

In the distance, the beasts finally couldn't stand the hunger and began to slowly approach.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew over and nailed the closest beast to death on the spot.

A group of people gathered soon, and the beasts outside who wanted to take advantage were killed by this group of people in the blink of an eye.

"Eunuch Wei!"

The leader knelt on one knee and saluted the white-haired eunuch.

The others knelt down behind him, and no one dared to look up at the eunuch's face.

"Clean up the scene, and keep your mouth shut!" The white-haired eunuch glanced at the three people burying the bodies at the back and said in a cold voice.

"I understand!"

The leader immediately responded.

Then the group quickly dispersed and began to bury the dead bodies.

Chen Laosan, who was in the crowd, looked at the corpses all over the ground, with a bitter look on his face.

It's a big trouble!

Life goes on.

The atmosphere in Qingya County is getting more and more tense. In addition to the streets that were blocked at the beginning, two more streets were blocked. The day before yesterday, Chen Luo heard some rumors on his way to practice martial arts, saying that the county's wealthy family, Mr. Bai, had colluded with the rebels to rebel, and the people above wanted to kill his nine clans.

Several families in the county were wiped out, and it was the people in the court who did it.

No one knows whether the news is true or not, but the rumors have caused panic among the people, and many people related to Mr. Bai are fleeing. In a small place like Qingya County, the tentacles of wealthy families extend to almost every aspect. In the entire Qingya County, there is no "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea" that Mr. Bai has not touched. It can be said that the pig farmers in Qingya County buy pig feed produced by Bai Mansion. If Mr. Bai is really to be killed, the population of Qingya County can be cut in half.

Chen Luo just listened to these rumors. He and his uncle were paid by the government.

Although the job of a burial man was not very glamorous, it was a government job and the money came from the government. Even if the Bai family was really executed, it would not be their uncle and nephew.

"Not back yet"

Chen Luo walked into the house and took a look. The worry in his eyes became heavier.

After returning home last time, his uncle disappeared completely. Yesterday, Chen Luo asked Ma Quezi for leave and went to the government office where his uncle worked. As a result, the reply from there was that he was out on business and would not be back for a few days. This kind of long-term task had been encountered by Chen Luo when he helped his uncle before, but this time, he felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Thinking of the rumors in the town, he felt more and more that this matter was not simple.

"It's still too weak."

Chen Luo clenched his fists and continued to practice in the yard.

The ointment that increased strength on the stove next to him kept emitting a foul smell. After so many days, he had roughly figured out the use of this prescription.

External application!

It can also be used internally, but the amount should not be too large, and diarrhea will occur the next day.

These are all the results of Chen Luo's ruthless experiment with a scoundrel. When he thought of the scoundrel's weak legs when he came out of the toilet the next day, he gave up the use of internal application.

Fortunately, the effect of external application is also very good.

After practicing for a few days, Chen Luo clearly felt that his boxing skills were improving by leaps and bounds. Especially after taking the ointment, the speed of heat flow increase was even more frightening. And the "brain training" in dreams at night will also bring great improvement.

Although Chen Luo has only practiced for more than half a month, with the help of external medicine and the more than one hundred "old friends" in his brain, his half a month of practice is equivalent to several years for others.

He is getting stronger every moment now. Until now, Chen Luo himself can't figure out what level he has reached.

But Master Ma Quezi is definitely not his opponent.

Today, Chen Luo practiced boxing as usual. When he practiced for the tenth time, he suddenly felt a heat flow from his dantian. The energy traveled through his limbs and bones, and all the fatigue was swept away.

"Is this the internal energy?"

Chen Luo was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.

Regardless of the changes brought by the heat flow, he immediately stood in the yard, posing in the posture of the pile, controlling the heat flow to flow in his body. Several of the more than one hundred "brains" in his mind emerged with corresponding memories, allowing him to quickly master the use of internal energy.

One circle, two circles

In his perception, all the muscles in his body trembled rapidly, and his strength increased exponentially. He didn't know if other people would have such a big change when they broke through. Now he only felt that his strength was several times stronger than before, but he couldn't tell how much it was.

"Keep going! Even stronger!"

Chen Luo suppressed his restless mood and continued to practice.

Going out to show off to others after a little achievement is what children do. He has lived two lives, and he can still suppress his temper.

So after the realm was upgraded, Chen Luo continued to practice in the yard like a normal person.

When Chen Luo was practicing martial arts.

Within the range of Huangshanling.

The weather was getting colder, and a drizzle fell from the sky.

Chen Laosan and the other two burial men skillfully collected and buried the bodies in the forest.

This was the thirteenth batch of bodies they had buried in the past few days. The three of them were also kept here by the court and were not allowed to go home.

"Eat something."

The three people who finished their work sat in the mound, and one of them took out a cloth bag and took out a few steamed buns to share.

It was so cold that the steamed buns were already hard.

However, they were all low-ranking burial men, and no one cared about their lives. It was good to have something to eat.

"It's the fourth day."

The burial man on the left took a bite of the cold and hard steamed bun and suddenly said.

"I know one of the people who died today." This burial man was named Luo Cheng, a famous burial man in Qingya County. Like Chen Laosan, they were all veterans with more than ten years of experience, and the other one was the same. The three of them were considered the backbone of the burial men in Qingya County, and there had never been any problems with the bodies they handled.

"Mr. Bai."

The other person who hadn't spoken took a bite of the steamed bun and said in a deep voice. This person was called Wang Laoshuan, who was older than Chen Laosan. He was the one who had buried bodies the longest among the three.

The three of them were all old hands, so they naturally knew the significance of Mr. Bai.

The helmsman of the Bai family was also the local tyrant of Qingya County. He was a big man they needed to look up to before. Now he was lying in the crowd like a dead dog, without even a coffin. If a big shot like Mr. Bai Erye had such a fate, what were the identities of the remaining people?

Chen Laosan didn't say anything, eating his steamed buns silently. He also had some discoveries, but it didn't make sense to say them.

The three of them might have to stay here.

The three old burial men knew this.

The eunuch who issued the task didn't intend to leave anyone alive.

Rebels?

Rebels?

It's hard to say who is loyal and who is treacherous, the three of them have seen too much.
