Martial Cultivator

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Chao no longer looked at the lifeless man. Instead, he sat down again, put the shackles on his hands again, then sat on the ground and closed his eyes to meditate.

Soon, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, also from far to near. Soon the footsteps disappeared not far in front of Chen Chao, and everything seemed to be quiet again.

Chen Chao then slowly opened his eyes and found that the disappeared officers were back where they should be, and then he raised his head.

There was a flash of red in front of his eyes.

It was an extremely large red official robe. It was being put on a thin middle-aged man at the moment. It was as if he was in blood, giving people a very cold feeling. His face was white and beardless, and he couldn't be said to be good-looking, but He just happened to have a pair of red and phoenix eyes, which gave him a hint of separation.

A special smell filled the entire cell.

Chen Chao was extremely familiar with the smell of blood.

Demon blood may not be red, but it is as hot as human blood and tastes the same.

The man in front of me must have killed many people.

Also, as the minister of Dali Temple, he naturally dealt with many guilty officials.

His name is Han Pu, a person that many people don't want to mention, and many people often dream of him when they go to bed at night.

"You are not the first person who dares to kill people in our Dali Temple, but you are the weakest one."

Han Pu spoke without any foreshadowing. His voice was like the coldest wind in the mountains, cold and lonely, without any warmth. When the wind blew, it carried the breath of death. No matter who it was, It was as if listening to his voice put him in hell.

This is Han Pu, a man with a notorious reputation in Daliang Dynasty.

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Chao who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, then glanced extremely casually at the man who had turned into a pile of mud, and then looked away before saying this.

To his surprise, the young man who had now stirred up trouble in the city of God was not afraid at all, nor did he explain the matter in an extremely serious manner. He just grinned, with an innocent look on his face, raised his hands, and clashed the shackles. His voice sounded a little irritating, "Sir, I am a repeat offender. My hands and feet are all shackled. How can I kill him?"

This is what he said.

Hearing these words, Han Pu's lips moved slightly, "Do you know whose hands your life is now?"

Chen Chao pointed to the corpse over there and said, "He once thought that my life was in his hands, but he turned into a corpse himself."

Chen Chao did not answer his question. Instead, he said this. Together with what he said before, this made Han Pu more interested in him.

Han Pu narrowed his eyes and said, "You are saying that if I have such thoughts, I will end up with the same fate."

"My lord is naturally different. I know that your lord is here to protect me."

Chen Chao looked at the adults with a smile and chuckled, "It's just that the adults seem to be a step late intentionally or unintentionally. If I really die here, how will you handle yourself?"

Han Pu opened his mouth, laughed silently, and then waved

With a wave of his hand, the officer behind him retreated expressionlessly, as if he had never been there. Soon, only the two of them were left here.

"Most people can't bear Xie's anger, but it doesn't mean that I am afraid. Besides, you have to believe that they may be angry when you are alive, but once you are dead, your value will be gone. Since you are not Okay, how angry can Mr. Xie be?"

Han Pu said, "I'm a little late. I won't tell you why. But if you can't support me, then it's not worth my time to protect you."

"You big guys like to do this kind of thing. If you look at it and don't like it, even if that person has nothing wrong, he will die."

Chen Chao shook his head and sneered.

Han Pu smiled and said, "You know, human life is a very worthless thing in this world."

"Tell me how you can tell there is something wrong with this person."

After saying this, the chill and chill in Han Pu's body instantly dissipated. At this moment, he became very ordinary and gentle, just like an ordinary scholar.

If Chen Chao had met Wei Xu, he would have discovered that there are actually many similarities between the two of them.

Chen Chao thought about it for a while, but he didn't hide anything. He said bluntly, "He said that my life was saved and he wanted to take me away. Although he didn't show any murderous intention when he spoke, I still don't believe him."

"Because things were too fast and too simple, and he never came up with anything that I could believe from beginning to end. The most important thing is that he is just a first-level monk..."

"He tricked me into walking out of the cell, and then directly killed me for escaping?"

After glancing at Han Pu, Chen Chao smiled and said, "Even if my judgment is wrong, the question I asked him and his reaction are destined to make me right."

Han Pu appreciated it and asked, "It's really good. Where does this young man like you come from?"

Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.

"You can rest assured that you will not die here when I get here. However, in half a month, the monks from the three families of Liushui Peak of the Nantian Sect of Sanxi Prefecture will come to Dali Temple and the Sanfa Division to interrogate you. What about you?"

Han Pu said, "Everything you have done is excellent, but what is the most important thing, do you know?"

Chen Chao nodded. Of course he knew this. Even if he succeeded and was not immediately killed by those monks, he could come to the capital of the gods and cause a fuss about the matter, so that the court had to put him on the bright side. trial, but in the end, what is needed to get out of this prison is, of course, evidence.

A piece of evidence that could prove that he reasonably killed those monks.

Han Pu shook his head and said, "I can imagine that those Qi Refiners must have wanted to kill you first, and then you killed them in order to protect yourself. But even so, so what? It's a grave sin for you to kill Qi Refiners without permission. , now there is only evidence of your murder and nothing else, how can I help you? "

Yes, after doing so much, the most critical part is still

here.

That is how to prove that the fact that he is good at killing Qi Masters is not good at killing.

Chen Chao did not tell anyone the whole story because he was still waiting for a possible turning point.

"I once said that this case involved the governor of Qingshan County. I wonder where he is at the moment?" Chen Chao looked at Han Pu. The Dali Temple Minister had a good impression on him.

Han Pu said calmly, "Dead."

Chen Chao frowned, "Dead..."

what does that mean?

What does that Chief Li know?

Along the way, he had actually been thinking whether Commander Li really just thought that the Qi Refiners were just looking for a mysterious vein in the mine, or whether he also knew about the Dragon Vein. If it was the latter, then he Maybe there is some other hope.

But at this moment, Han Pu said that he was dead.

"Died at the hands of monks from outside the country."

Han Pu glanced at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "He is not as smart as you. When something happens, he knows what to do to survive as much as possible, so he died."

Han Pu said, "If you have any inside story to tell, it's best to tell me. There are still some days, and I can still think of some ways for you. But wait until half a month later when the Sanfa Division and the three sects will interrogate you, I will Even if I want to help you, it’s too late.”

Chen Chao shook his head and just smiled and asked, "Sir, can I meet a friend?"

Han Pu frowned, "That Xie girl?"

Chen Chao nodded quickly and said in disbelief, "Sir, is this a fat insect in my belly?!"

…

…

It only took a quarter of an hour for the news to spread from the cell in Dali Temple to the academy.

This time could have been shorter if Hanpu wanted to.

After receiving the news, Xie Nandu saluted and said goodbye to Wei Xu.

Wei Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Junior sister, please remember clearly that you are now Mr.'s closed disciple, so you must always pay attention when you are outside."

Xie Nandu nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother. I will definitely act cautiously and not damage the reputation of our master."

Wei Xu shook his head and said with a smile, "Junior Sister may have misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is that since Junior Sister has entered my academy and has become Mr.'s disciple, then... she can be appropriately... arrogant."

Xie Nandu was startled, "Senior brother..."

"In the Liang Dynasty, sir was naturally the most reasonable person, so if anyone is unreasonable, just let him reason with sir."

Wei Xu left these words behind, turned around and left lightly, not staying for a moment longer.

Xie Nandu looked at the senior brother's back thoughtfully.

soon.

A carriage set off from the bank of Nanhu Lake, quickly left the academy, passed through half of the divine capital, and arrived outside the Yamen of Dali Temple.

A girl in a green shirt walked out of the carriage and entered the Dali Temple.

She is like a flower that comes with the wind

pear blossom.

Not long after, a chair was set up outside the cell.

"It seems like you are living well here." Xie Nandu sat down on the chair and looked at the young man in front of him through the cell door with a faint smile on his face.

Chen Chao, who had now removed the chains from his body, rubbed his wrists and said with a smile, "I understand now. When I saved you once, it was definitely the best choice I have ever made in my life. Fortunately, I am a very old-fashioned person, otherwise you It was so scary now.”

Sitting on the chair reminded her of her time in Tianqing County, and seeing this guy who was still like this made Xie Nandu suddenly feel like she had returned to that small courtyard.

"Where's the stove?" She couldn't help but ask.

"There is an old woman who wants to kill me. She demolished my whole yard, but it doesn't matter. Sooner or later I will have to make her pay the price." A trace of sadness flashed in Chen Chao's eyes, but then it dissipated. He smiled and said, "It's okay." I have to congratulate you, I heard that you are now that dean’s closed disciple.”

This news was not mentioned by Xie Nandu in the letter. In fact, she would not take the initiative to mention this kind of thing.

Xie Nandu raised his eyebrows and said, "You won't laugh at me if you say in your letter that I haven't succeeded, but there is nothing I can't do that I have done over the years."

She rarely spoke to people in such a tone. In fact, she always seemed very indifferent, indifferent about her emotions and other things.

But in front of this young man, she seemed a little more excited.

Chen Chao blinked and rubbed his hands excitedly. Some thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not say them out.

"The roasting is pretty good, especially the roasting in Tianqing County."

Chen Chao suddenly spoke and said with some pain, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it for the rest of my life. Please remember to help me eat a few more, which can be regarded as helping me remember its taste."

Xie Nandu looked at the young man in front of him, thought for a while, nodded and said, "No problem, the roast in Shendu is not as delicious as the one in Tianqing County. I remember its taste."

Chen Chao said, "I have some money. If I die, I will give it all to you."

Xie Nandu said, "I'm not short of money, so you should keep this money for yourself."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "You know what I want to say."

Xie Nandu said seriously, "You want to use your little money to smoothen your relationship? Do you know that your matter is too big, even the most prestigious ministers in the court dare not get involved in it, and no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it. "

After hearing this, Chen Chao lowered his head in pain and muttered, "But I really don't want to die here. I haven't lived enough."

Xie Nandu smiled and said, "If you can't die, then you definitely can't die."

Chen Chao sighed with emotion, "You are really a fat insect in my belly."

Xie Nandu frowned and said, "Ascaris?"

Chen Chao said seriously, "Fat insect!"
