Chapter 26 Chapter 101 Conditions

Wang Zongjing was walking on the street, when the first ray of sunlight came down, he raised his eyes to the sky and narrowed his eyes slightly. Liangzhou City, which had been crazy in the dark all night and then fell silent for a moment before dawn, has slowly become lively again at this moment. Under the light of day, many people are heading towards the bloody place in the south of the city. The place surrounded and went, and more people watched from afar and whispered.Wang Zongjing held a bag of steamed stuffed bun snacks eaten by ordinary people in the Liangzhou morning market, and walked towards the Earth Temple expressionlessly.

After carefully checking that no one was following him, he walked to the gate of the Earth Temple. Hearing the sound of his deliberately heavy footsteps, Ao Kui and Ximen Yingrui poked their heads out to have a look. After seeing Wang Zongjing, they both nodded Nodding, Wang Zongjing paused at the door, and said in a low voice, "How's it going?" Ao Kui glanced back inside and said, "Sister Hong is asking him." Wang Zongjing was silent for a moment, suppressed the hesitation that appeared in his heart for no reason, and walked into the earth temple. In the dilapidated Earth Temple, Ao Kui and Ximen Yingrui stood leaning against the gate, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods. On the open space under the statue, two half-broken futons were placed, and Xu Menghong pulled Seeing the boy sitting in front, talking to him in a low voice.

The strangeness at the dawn of the morning has long since disappeared from Xu Menghong's body. Although she is still covered with white gauze and cannot see the change in her expression, the aura exuding from her body has clearly shown that she has become the one who carried Wang Zongjing on weekdays. The strong woman who waited for the three to roll on the tip of the knife.However, compared to the toughness when dealing with opponents in the past, Xu Menghong's attitude at this moment can be said to be unexpectedly good. Instead of beating and scolding the boy, she always comforted him with soft words, and even promised to take care of him in the future. Da, teach him to practice Taoism and so on. What is required, of course, is very simple. There is only one thing, and that is to ask the boy to hand over the fragment of the secret scroll.

Wang Zongjing watched coldly from the sidelines. After everyone woke up early in the morning, he felt a little uneasy, so he found an excuse to buy food for the boy, ran out first, and saw this scene when he came back.It's just that after he watched for a while, he found that although the boy had woken up from last night's lethargy, the expression on his face was almost numb and dazed from the beginning to the end. Head-like indifference. Xu Menghong talked for a while, obviously also aware that the boy didn't respond to her words, and stopped soon. Although she couldn't see her expression through the veil, she must have a bad face.

Ao Kui, who was standing on the other side, had been a little anxious for a long time. Seeing this scene, he snorted coldly and strode over, stretched out his huge palm to grab the boy, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, don't you You don’t have to drink a toast, but it’s your luck that Sister Hong talks to you well, otherwise be careful with me..." The boy was frightened by him, a look of fear crossed his face, and his body trembled a few times, but for some reason, he managed to resist it. He just closed his eyes and raised his neck, looking like he was waiting to die. On the contrary, he was taken aback by the menacing Ao Kui, and the vicious slap couldn't be slapped for a while.

"Ao Kui, don't mess around!" Xu Menghong's displeased voice came from the front, and Ao Kui shy away.The boy waited for a while, but didn't wait for the big slap he imagined, and slowly opened his eyes again, his eyes swept over the people around him, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. Xu Menghong and the other four are all veterans of the Jianghu. Facing such a child who can't even hide his emotions, there is nothing he can't see. Naturally, he can see every move clearly, and his brows are always on his face. Wrinkled, knowing that this boy is probably treating them as a first-rate enemy who killed his father and mother. If that is the case, it may be really difficult to ask anything.

When Xu Menghong was hesitating, she suddenly saw a warm white bread stretched out in front of the boy, but Wang Zongjing squatted beside him at some point, and said calmly, "You're hungry, eat some." Seeing the bun in front of him, the boy's face, which was like dead wood, changed color slightly. Xu Menghong, who got closer, even heard a slight rumbling in his stomach. No matter what, he was still just a child after all. It's just that although his eyes became brighter, he didn't reach out to take the bun.Wang Zongjing was not in a hurry, just took the steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into his hand, sat down beside him, and said quietly: "If you are full, if you live, maybe you can get revenge."

The boy's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at him, as if his originally numb spirit was severely stimulated by the word "revenge".But Wang Zongjing didn't look at him, just sat beside him, picked up another bun in his hand, put it in his mouth and bit it hard—a big bite. The boy looked at him for a while, then slowly lowered his head, and looked at the steaming white bun in his hand. In the past, he also lived a life of prosperity, although it was not the kind of bun that he had never seen before. Wealthy people, but they seldom eat it on weekdays. After all, ordinary people eat more of this food.It's just that at this moment, the former glory, wealth, and parental affection have all been wiped out.

A tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye, and it fell on the white bun. Then he raised his hand and put the bun to his mouth. Just like Wang Zongjing, he took a big bite slowly, chewing with tears in his eyes. Xu Menghong's veil moved slightly, her eyes swept across the boy's face, she stood up silently, walked to the gate of the Earth Temple, Ximen Yingrui and Ao Kui looked at her, Ao Kui called out in a low voice: " Miss Hong?" Xu Menghong shook her head slightly, but did not speak. ※※※ "What's your name?" Wang Zongjing ate the buns in his hand, clapped his hands lightly, put the remaining white buns in front of the boy, and then spoke plainly.

The boy swallowed a mouthful of the steamed stuffed bun, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Ba Le." Wang Zongjing was silent for a moment, and said, "Does it mean to be happy?" "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Zongjing. Everyone else calls me Xiao Wang. You can call me that if you want." The boy Ba Le silently looked up at him, didn't speak, just took another bite of the bun silently. Wang Zongjing didn't care, just looked at him, waited patiently for a while, and then said: "You know what we want, can you give it to me?"

Ba Le was silent for a long time, then raised his head, stared at Wang Zongjing, and said, "Did you come to my house last night, just like everyone else, to kill people and rob things?" Wang Zongjing was suffocated for a moment, and he didn't speak yet. Instead, he stood by the door and listened to the two people talking as if they were talking about their parents. , how could we be such bad people! Little ghost, look carefully, the four of us are all good people, and when we went to your house, we were all chivalrous and righteous, and it took a lot of hard work to save you. , you still haven't handed over the things..." Originally, it was a loud announcement full of spirit, but Ao Kui's voice became smaller and smaller as he talked about it.When he turned his eyes, he saw Xu Menghong, Ximen Yingrui next to him, and Wang Zongjing in front of him, all looking at him like an idiot, he couldn't help feeling guilty and stopped talking.Wang Zongjing turned around, coughed dryly, and after a moment of silence, said: "You are right, but we didn't take action against your family." Ximen Yingrui at the other end also took a few steps forward and said: "Yes, you also saw it last night. When we first arrived at Ba's house, it was already in a mess and almost killed. I met your family and a few Taoist priests from Liangyi Temple in the small garden, and from the beginning to the end, we didn't have a drop of blood on our hands!" When he said this, he suddenly paused, as if he suddenly remembered something , quickly pointed to Wang Zongjing again, and said with a dry smile, "Uh...he killed someone, but you also saw that he killed the Taoist Taoist Liangyi who killed your parents, and it seems to be revenge for you." Wang Zongjing glared at him, Ximen Yingrui rolled his eyes at him, took two steps back, and leaned against the door frame again. The expression on Ba Le's face was complicated, but what Ximen Yingrui said just now, especially the last sentence, obviously had a miraculous effect, and it seemed to faintly touch the boy's heart. When he looked up at Wang Zongjing again, his gaze There is already some faint look in the middle. Wang Zongjing's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to meet Ba Le's gaze. After slightly averting his gaze, he took a deep breath, and finally hardened his heart, saying: "Ba Le, the secret Roll fragment, is it on you?" Ba Le was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Not here." Ao Kui, who was leaning against the door, almost jumped up, looking at it and was about to get angry again, but this time, Xu Menghong and Ximen Yingrui held him down quickly, and the two looked there with piercing eyes. , only to hear Bale whisper to Wang Zongjing again: "But I know where it is. My father hides it in a secret place at home. No one knows, but I can find it." Xu Menghong and the other three all had joyful eyes, only Wang Zongjing frowned slightly, looked at the boy's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can you tell me?" Ba Le picked up his head and looked straight at him. At that moment, there was silence in the Temple of Earth, and people seemed to hold their breath quietly. He said slowly: "Yes, but I have a request. You have to do something for me." Wang Zongjing stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, and said, "Speak." Ba Le stared at him, and said word by word: "You help me, kill the enemy who killed my family!"
