Chapter 146 Dead
In Leijiazhuang, after Xiang Yang came back, he still did not make any major moves. He interacted with others normally and taught Lei Jie basic leg skills normally, as if the events that day were just illusions.
This is not because he gave up, but after he came back, he thought about it and decided to wait. Lei Jie was suspected, but as Duan Chen said, it was inconsistent with the characteristics of the murderer.
Moreover, Xiang Yang was always a little embarrassed. He didn't pay attention when he was in the yard. After coming back, he calmed down and found that Duan Chen and Min Zhuang might not have found that he was in the next yard at that time.
First, he searched the clues in the house, and the handprints he left were relatively clear compared with the dust in the house. At first glance, he saw the actions he had recently and even just happened. These two people just mentioned them in the early stage and did not mention them again later, which was very suspicious.
Secondly, what Duan Chen and Min Zhuang said was too clear and revealed the clues clearly, just like to someone’s hearing.
You should know that when they came, they could communicate this information, so why should they mention it in Wang Laosan’s house?
Unless they did it on purpose, in order to throw out this clue and lure the people in the yard to investigate Lei Jie and hide behind the scenes. This is what Xiang Yang thought of after he came back, and he had many thoughts, but there was definitely this possibility.
Therefore, after he came back, he still adhered to his previous behavior and just thought he was a normal martial artist.
During this period, Xiang Yang has been practicing martial arts hard, practicing both internal and external skills. Three days after he came back, he finally opened up the third seriousness and could carry out the next stage of cultivation.
When Tianshu issued a year of Quanzhen internal strength, Xiang Yang used this to get through two and a half serious things. After that, he continued to practice hard. After being catalyzed by the task reward of Tianshu, his cultivation level was not slow to improve. At this point, it can only be said that it was a natural result.
In the next stage, Xiang Yang was preparing to make tea with a hundred-year-old ginseng that he had obtained, and used a warm and nourishing method to improve his own skills. It was a bit rough and simple, and his progress was far less than that of Wu Da Yanpai and took Yiqi Pill, but it was closer to practice.
Moreover, during the process of taking ginseng tea, Xiang Yang also discovered that the medicinal power was evaporated, which was very similar to the internal cultivation level of the wordless heavenly book reward, and both were transformed into cultivation level of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, taking the medicine is gentle, and the medicine is slow and smooth, and it flows smoothly. Although it is not as immediate as the reward for the wordless heavenly book, it is also very good.
Duan Chen and Min Zhuang also regained their relationship of acquaintance but unfamiliarity. One of them was in love with Lei Jing, a lady from the Lei family, and the other pretended to be noble and dignified. They kept a distance from everyone, and they could not see the affection in it. Xiang Yang secretly sighed at the high acting skills.
Early this morning, Xiang Yang got up early, wore a white brocade dress, came to the yard, and faced the direction of the rising sun in the east to breathe and practice Qi. Although he could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the external environment was refreshing and pleasant, and his breath was full of moist breath, and his mood was cool and peaceful, which was also a unique experience.
But not long after, I heard a sharp scream like a pig slaughtering in the distance. The direction of the sound was exactly where the martial artists lived, not far from his yard.
Xiang Yang was interrupted by Qi training, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he turned around and took out the Yanling Knife from the house, stepped on his long boots, and ran all the way to the place where the sound was made. It was the yard where Duan Chen was.
Xiang Yang's heart sank, stepped into the open wooden door, and walked into the yard. A well-dressed maid was covering her mouth and crying, and her eyes showed a look of extreme horror.
Outside the main room of the courtyard, which was like him, there were pieces of porcelain all over the floor and white porridge and side dishes all over the floor, which showed that the maid was bringing breakfast to Duan Chen. As a result, she saw something terrible, she panicked and knocked over the plate.
Xiang Yang didn't care about the maid and stepped into Duan Chen's room and saw three other people gathered inside, Wu Dayanda, Hou Shun, and Min Zhuang.
"Xiao Xiang, you are here, let's take a look. Duan Chen is also a master of boxing. He died so bizarrely. It seems that there are many things in Leijiazhuang hidden from us."
Wu Dayanpai hunched over, smashed the cigarette pipe, spit out a mouthful of green smoke, and said in a low tone. The information revealed made Xiang Yang even more difficult to accept. Duan Chen was actually dead?
When she walked to the side of a few people, Xiang Yang looked at Min Zhuang specifically and found that this woman's behavior was almost the same as Wu Yandao Hou Shun, with a sense of shock and sadness as a rabbit and a fox. She had no lover to be killed and she was desperate.
Instead, he set his eyes on Duan Chen, who was lying on the bed, dressed neatly, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and lay on the bed with a very joyful smile on his lips, looking like he was asleep.
But the only difference is that the abdomen does not rise and fall, the originally decent face becomes extremely thin, and the cheekbones are raised, as if they have lost a lot in a short period of time, and are haggard and sick.
"What's going on? Brother Duan is very skilled in martial arts and strong fist power. Who can kill him silently without revealing any movement?"
Xiang Yang said in a lost voice, his performance was a bit superficial and he used too much force, but what he said was exactly what the other three people present were worried about.
These five of them have their own unique skills. Although they have never distinguished themselves from each other, the gap is definitely not big. They also know Duan Chen's martial arts skills, but they never expected to die so strangely on their own bed.
At least four of them could kill Duan Chen so easily.
Xiang Yang also thought of a very similar scene, which was Li Jinhai from Liguo Village, Anyuan County. He died at the hands of Song Zuwu, but he had no ability to resist at all, and the gap between the two was indeed huge.
"If Duan Chen has the power of resistance, we can arrive even if he just shouts. But I practiced the martial arts very late last night and didn't hear any abnormal movements. I think that the man's martial arts are indeed unfathomable. I think it's time to talk to Master Lei.
The conditions he offered were indeed far more than ordinary martial artists, but they were not enough to make us work hard for him.”
Hou Shunli said, he was also a little trembling, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid that he didn't even know how to die. If his secret rock training was successful, he would dare to stay, but it was obvious that he did not have the confidence.
Wu Dayanda and Minzhuang Xiang Yang also understood what he meant. If they wanted to use this matter to leave the Lei family, they could do well everywhere with their martial arts. They didn't have to take this risk and stay in the Lei family.
"I also agree with Hou Shun's opinion. Lei Hu is indeed hiding something from us. He said he wanted us to protect Leijiazhuang. Now it seems that he has long known that Leijiazhuang is in danger.
Minzhuang, Xiaoxiang, what do you two think?”
Min Zhuang pursed his lips, held the sword tightly, and said coldly, "What should I do if Duan Chen? Is it so in vain?"
Xiang Yang sighed inwardly, after all, he was a woman, and he couldn't hold back. We were just strangers who met by chance. Even if we were familiar with each other these days, we could not reach the point of going through life and death.
"I agree with Uncle Hou's suggestion that you can show off directly to the owner of Lei to verify this matter, but it is best for everyone to act together afterwards.
To be honest, the cause of Duan Chen's death is still unknown, and it may not be related to Leijiazhuang. What if it was his own enemy who came to seek revenge?
What's more, if the murderer is really the opponent of the Lei family, with the martial arts he showed, it would probably not take much effort to kill us. Why don't we solve it together?
