Chapter 10 The Bell at Midnight 4
Inside Shishan City
White House
Bai Yu stood in Bu Hua's room, looking at the clean and tidy room without a trace of life, he was stunned.Bu Hua left in a hurry, and there were only a few words written on the paper on the table.
Urgent, go ahead and return in five days.
"Why... they're all gone..." Bai Yu felt a chill at the thought of talking to his sister in person when his eldest brother and Bu Hua both left home.He shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body.
No, absolutely not, let him face his sister alone, it is better to let him practice martial arts when the sky is freezing.
Bai Yu put down the letter, braved the wind and snow, and hurried out of the White Mansion.
Yoshimizu Shonai
Bu Hua covered his face with a white cloth, and his hair was scattered behind him.He held the sword in his hand, looked at the man coldly, and said: "I thought you were just harboring evil thoughts and greed. I saw it today, and I realized that I was wrong."
The person in front of him smelled of alcohol, had a greasy body, but was well dressed.Bu Hua had just made a general observation. To build such a lavish mansion in Jishui Village, it was either rich or powerful.But just now I heard all the way, this person relied on his family's great fortune, forced to buy and sell, and forced marriages are also common.Just married concubines, there are... as many as six concubines.
Bu Hua frowned, and clenched the sword in his hand. With a swing of his long sword, all the lights in the house went out, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.
It's time.
"name."
"Ah...? I, I...my name is Zhang He..."
Bu Hua walked forward, Zhang He was so frightened that he sat on the ground paralyzed, unable to escape.He could only move slowly, trying to call for help.Pointing to his throat, Bu Hua said coldly, "I only ask you two questions. If you yell and attract others, I can only kill your family."
"No, no, I will never yell at anyone, I will never yell at anyone...! Please, please let me go, I can say anything, I can say anything!!" Zhang He got up from the ground and knelt In front of Buhua, he kept kowtowing, "I will never do that black-hearted business again, please let me go! I will definitely change my past! I, I must—"
"Do you still remember the name Liu Lian?"
"me……"
"Eleven years ago, you killed a girl named Liu Lian. If you say you don't remember, it's probably impossible."
Bu Hua stared at him, Zhang He's expression changed as soon as the word "Liu Lian" came out.He stared at Bu Hua even more terrified, his body began to tremble, and cold sweat poured down like rain.He opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he was about to say.
Bu Hua narrowed his eyes, and the sword slashed across Zhang He's face.The screams flowed out with the blood, "I'm asking you, why don't you speak."
"I...I..." Zhang He covered his face, kowtowed again, he raised his head, and slapped himself hard, "I'm sorry, my lord! I'm sorry! I didn't intend to harm her! It was my brother, it was he who insisted on marrying her! In the end, he was killed by her, that's why we..."
"So, you are eliminating harm for the people and doing justice for the heavens? Then I... shouldn't kill you." Bu Hua said, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, and forcibly opened Zhang He's mouth , Pour all the contents of the bottle.
"I'm in the spice business, but I also sell drugs." Bu Hua threw away the bottle, "I've finished asking my questions, and that's all I want to know. Let me tell you one more thing, killing people means paying for them. Those of you Good brother, there is no one left."
Zhang He grabbed his neck and glared at Bu Hua fiercely.It seems to be saying that you will have to pay for your life one day in the future.But Bu Hua didn't take it seriously, he even wanted to laugh.
"I will pay for my life, but not now." Bu Hua swung his sword, and the sharp blade cut Zhang He's throat. He twitched a few times, then stopped breathing, blood splashed all over the ground.Bu Hua put away his sword, took the purse from him, weighed it, and said, "Not in the future. You are rich, but you don't know that millions of people in this world are starving."
Bu Hua turned over the window and left, the candles were rekindled, and the doors and windows were wide open.The cold wind invaded, and the snowflakes fell.
Bu Hua avoided Bai Chen and his group, he looked up at the sky, it was already night, he should rest.
Buhua settles down in an extremely remote abandoned house in Jishui Village.He found a not-so-dirty place in the house, took off the white cloth covering his face, and wiped the floor with it.Bu Hua is a little hungry, but he urgently needs to rest now, and we can talk about eating after he wakes up.
Bu Hua leaned against the wall, holding the sword without scabbard in his arms, not worried about being scratched.The long night, the cold wind howling.Although Bu Hua was cold, he still fell asleep in a daze.
He opened his eyes again, awakened by an unknown strong light.Bu Hua rubbed his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the beam of light.
A mirror was hung on the dilapidated beams and pillars. The mirror refracted light through the holes in the roof, but the light was so dazzling that Buhua's eyes hurt slightly.He got up and took off the mirror and wiped it with his hands.
This mirror is not an ordinary copper mirror, it feels cold to the touch in the hand, and the mirror surface is smooth and clear, very much like... a silver mirror.But how could there be such a valuable item in this ruined house?If I had known earlier, there were no tables and chairs in this room.
Obviously not an ordinary object.
Bu Hua frowned, hung the silver mirror back to its original place, tidied himself up and left the room.He has committed a big taboo once, and there must be no second time.This time, the ghost's wish was fulfilled, but who would know whether the ghost that was summoned next time was good or evil?
He came to an inconspicuous shop and ordered some simple pasta for breakfast today.
"Hey, did you hear that Zhang died last night!" The voice of the person at the next table was so soft that Bu Hua had to chew the food in his mouth slowly to hear clearly.
"I listened to one ear and said that he was revenged by a ghost! You don't know how miserable your death is. I heard that he was poisoned and dumb first, and then his throat was cut! I think he deserves it. What's wrong with him? That black-hearted business that buys and sells by force!" The man said, drinking a sip of wine, feeling a little agitated.
"I heard from the man in the village that he was revenged by a ghost. You know that 11 years ago? The scholar in our village died because of him."
"Hey, let me tell you, last night, someone saw a ghost in the house where he lived! Hey, if you said it was scary, my scalp felt numb when I heard it."
"It's early in the morning, don't say such things!"
Bu Hua ate what was in his hands, ordered another pot of tea, and continued to sit there and listen.
After listening for a long time, he probably had some clues in his mind.
That Zhang He is the heinous villain in this village. He often does black-hearted business to make money.What happened last night shocked the entire Jishui Village. Almost everyone knew about it overnight, and they all blamed the dead scholar.And the scholar once lived in the ruins where Buhua stayed overnight last night.
Bu Hua put down the teacup, paid the bill and left here.He took Jian Cong from behind, and the little sparrow flew here and pecked his hand lightly.It is no longer as vigorous as it was when it was first summoned, and several layers of ash have fallen off its body.
To use talisman paper crops, you need to use your own blood as a guide.But no matter how abundant the spiritual power is, the lifespan of the talisman is only five days, and after five days, it will be a handful of ashes.
"Put it back to its original place." Bu Hua rubbed its face with his fingers, and hung the sword on its small body.Although the sword seemed to break its neck, it easily picked up the sword and flew towards Shishan City.
Bu Hua took a small path and walked towards Shishan City.
Outside Shishan City
"Hua Shi, what have you been doing?"
Bu Hua pulled Li Qiongsheng over and handed him the money bag in his arms. He saw that there was no one around, and then said: "Lao Li, take this money and leave here, but don't go to Jishui Village. You have something to do with me." Well, this money is my repayment. If I can get away as soon as possible, I will go to see you. I still have something to do, so I will leave first. "
Bu Hua walked decisively, no matter what Li Qiongsheng told him, he would never look back.He hurried on the road and walked to the opposite road to Jishuizhuang.From Li Qiongsheng's point of view, Buhua would often leave the temple and go somewhere alone.He tidied himself up, dressed in the fine attire he had when he first came, and it took him three days to leave.Buhua didn't say anything, and he didn't ask. This state lasted for ten years.
He is probably the only one who remembers where Buhua went.
Bu Hua traveled extremely fast, and at noon, he arrived at his destination.Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the deserted mountain road, he took a deep breath, put his hands together in front of him, and said in his heart: Master, Tuer Buhua is back to see you.
Bu Hua opened his eyes and climbed up the mountain.After the Baiyangguan incident, the mountain road gradually became deserted, and no one dared to go up the mountain anymore, for fear of meeting that murderous demon leader, who would kill him in vain.Finally, there are no more farmhouses around this Shishan.
"Master, Hua Shi is back." Bu Hua stood outside Baiyang Temple and bowed three times respectfully.When he stepped into the temple, the dust was stirred up and stained his clothes.He came to a room on which the words "Place for Meditation" could be vaguely seen.
Bu Hua knelt in front of many spirit tablets, kowtowed three times, and said: "Disciple Bu Hua, the only disciple of Baiyang Guan today, came to visit all the masters, and hope that the master will forgive the mistakes made by the disciples in the past few days."
"I made three big mistakes on this trip. First, I shouldn't reveal my identity. Second, I shouldn't have brought down that evil spirit to seek revenge. Third, I shouldn't kill people who have no hatred against me. I failed to abide by the rules, If the master has a spirit, please tell the disciples clearly." After Bu Hua finished speaking, three more heads fell.
Bu Hua raised his head and knelt respectfully on the spot.He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the movement around him.As soon as he knelt down, it was night.In the mountains, wolves howl and crows cry.There was a dead silence in Baiyang Temple, it was so dark that it made people tremble.
Bu Hua got up. He had been kneeling for a long time, and he almost lost feeling in his legs.He supported the pillar and slowed down a bit.When he was able to walk, he left Baiyang Temple and walked deeper into the forest.
If he wanted to leave the Bai family, he had to find that thing before he could leave in a legitimate way.
"Young master...! Young master...! Slow down! It's the middle of the night, and the sky is so cold, don't make any mistakes! Otherwise, the eldest son will definitely pick my skin off!"
"Hush! Shut up! Didn't you hear the wolf howl just now?! Do you want to be eaten by wolves?! I don't want to!"
Although the two deliberately lowered their voices, they could still hear them very clearly in this silent mountain.Bu Hua slowed down and quietly followed behind them.
This little boy is really worrying.
The author has something to say:
:D Everyone ~ Because I have received some suggestions, I plan to change the title of the book. I have thought of a few, please help me to choose ~
1. The little boy wants to catch ghosts with me
2. Little boy's development plan (I feel so ashamed of this)
Or anyone else can help me out.
