Chapter 77: Heavy Rain in the Early Morning

“On behalf of the 18 clans of the Ancestor Wushen, I promise that this is actually the rule… Within the territory of the 18 clans of the Ancestor Wushen, we naturally have to ensure that these two are safe and sound, but once they have left our territory, the grudges between you two are your own business. The 18 clans of the Ancestor Wushen will never interfere.” In the face of Yang Sheng’s questioning, the Great Shaman of Daxing spoke very slowly, but with great determination.

This was already a kind of concession, because it showed that the Daxing Great Shaman would not join forces with others to intervene in this matter for personal reasons.

After he finished speaking, the Great Da Xing looked at my master, his eyes full of apology, but my master just casually patted the Great Da Xing on the shoulder and whispered, “You’ve done your best.”

Everyone has something they must protect. I believe that what Daxing wanted to protect was the Leishan Miao Village. It was already difficult for him to persist to this point for me and my master.

However, Yang Sheng did not seem satisfied with the proposal of Da Xing Da Wu. He just looked at the crowd gathered here in silence. No one could guess what kind of eyes he had under his sunglasses.

However, at this moment, one of Yang Sheng’s men hurriedly ran over to Yang Sheng, then to Yang Sheng’s side, and whispered in Yang Sheng’s ear, muttering something that no one could understand.

Yang Sheng still had a very calm expression on his face, but after listening to the report from his subordinate, he said with a little surprise in his voice, “Is there such a thing?”

What exactly was going on? Everyone was curious, but Yang Sheng didn’t seem to want to hide it. Instead, he glanced at us with a meaningful look and suddenly said to Daxing the Shaman, “If it wasn’t one of our people who did it, then what? This must be the Daxing the Shaman’s trick, right? I was originally worried that you would think I was taking life lightly… the so-called righteous path is all covered in filth, but it still shines.”

Yang Sheng’s words were extremely offensive, like slapping all the righteous people in the face, but for a moment, it was hard to understand his intentions.

After all, different people see different worlds. If you argue with him about whether the righteous are hypocrites, it’s a waste of breath… Just as I can’t describe to you the world I feel, I can’t see the world you see.

Fortunately, Yang Sheng also knew that people with different beliefs should not cooperate, so he didn’t say any more nonsense, but instead said directly to the subordinate standing next to him, “Lift it up.”

What is being lifted up? The people here were puzzled, but Yang Sheng seemed to be very patient, standing there motionless. I had the intuition that his gaze was on me and my master, but he was wearing sunglasses, which also concealed everything.

Time passed in this silent and oppressive atmosphere for about five minutes. During these five minutes, apart from the people silently cleaning up the corpse, no one else spoke.

After about another minute, two people carrying a corpse walked to the middle of the two groups and threw the corpse down.

The people carrying the corpse were Yang Sheng’s men, and after dropping the corpse, they hurriedly left. When I took a closer look at the corpse, my anger suddenly rose from my heart, and I couldn’t help but walk forward and say to Yang Sheng, “Yang Sheng, you’re really good at this… killing people and then blaming it on others? You were already completely rotten, but fortunately, you did something so terrible that you dared to admit it! Now, you are not only completely rotten, but also completely rotten… Do you have to put a label on someone’s head for this kind of thing?

After saying that, I felt a little sad in my heart, because the corpse lying on the ground was none other than the old doorman.

Of course, I still remembered the night before, when he had a drink with us and talked about his work and his feelings for this place. He also proudly said that he could get good prices on things here. When I saw him being arrested, I was thinking about how to save his life, but I never thought that now…

I didn’t even know his name… but now, seeing him lying cold on the ground, his eyes half-open, with several bullet wounds and dried bloodstains on his body, I really couldn’t help but change from sadness to a feeling of grief.

I looked up at Yang Sheng and couldn’t help but yell out, “Yang Sheng, how could you do this? How many obstacles did you trip over along the way? Do you need to clean them up? No matter what their identities or what kind of people they are, you have to clean them up, right? In the end, are you going to clean up your sister-in-law Jingyi and your son as well? Won’t they become a burden to you? Is that it?”

“Shut the fuck up! I, Yang Sheng, have never denied anything I’ve done! This old man ran away on his own, taking advantage of the chaos earlier… My men went after him and found this corpse! Chen Chengyi, what do you think you are now?” As he spoke, Yang Sheng raised his little finger and pointed at it, then said viciously, “In my eyes, you are a being that can be crushed to death by just one little finger. Do you think I have to lie to you?”

“Unfortunately, this existence that you can crush with a little finger is still alive and well in front of you, isn’t it? Yang Sheng, I really want to see what our respective endings will be in the end. Yang Sheng, you absolutely make me believe that fate will eventually bring us together.” I also said word by word, at this time, my fists were about to pinch painfully, because I knew that I had to endure it. I couldn’t beat Yang Sheng at this time, and I couldn’t be impulsive.

“Don’t talk to me about fate, saying such weird things. I, Yang Sheng, don’t believe in this! The only thing I believe in is the arguments that have been rigorously demonstrated… If you have a way to prove that you are qualified to cross paths with my fate, then talk about it!” Yang Sheng’s tone became increasingly cold.

I suddenly felt that the day I and my master hid in the mountains and escaped this disaster was probably because of Yang Sheng’s paranoia… He didn’t believe in anything labeled “feeling,” and after the lama used his magic to search, he believed even more in this conclusion, which allowed me and my master to escape.

During this confrontation, the great Da Xing shaman stepped forward, he forcefully dragged me back, and then said to Yang Sheng, “I think you brought the corpse up here to give us an explanation. After all, this old man witnessed everything as an outsider, and in the end, he was an uneasy factor… However, Yang Sheng, I can tell you responsibly that we didn’t do it. As you said, you don’t need to lie, and we don’t need to lie either. Besides, the road out of this town is on your side. Do you think that someone on our side could have passed by without anyone noticing? Who has the ability to do that? If they had that ability, why would they shoot him?

I have to say that the logic of the Daxing Grand Wizard is very rigorous. From this point, it can be seen that the Daxing Grand Wizard is definitely not a simple person. At the same time, the Daxing Grand Wizard also turned to look at me and said, “Chengyi, Yang Sheng really has no need to lie. Just now, an unexpected mess really happened, and if he really wanted to do this, he wouldn’t have to say that he would hand over the old man to us before. It really wasn’t necessary!”

I still believe in what the Da Xing Da Wu said, but I was overwhelmed by anger and didn’t know what happened in the town before, so I said those words on impulse.

Now, on second thought, there is a very good chance that Yang Sheng did not do it.

But then the question arises: if it wasn’t the Da Xing Da Wu, then who was it?

At this point, Yang Sheng seemed to have lost interest in arguing with us about this matter, and said in a playful tone, “This is really strange. However, it also saves me the trouble of worrying that you guys with your soft hearts will be softhearted and leave a problem behind.”

After saying this, Yang Sheng didn’t know how he changed his mind, and suddenly looked at me and said, “Chen Chengyi, let’s keep the green mountains and the flowing water… You’d better die of old age in this area of ​​Xiangxi, otherwise you’ll have a very hard life and face endless persecution. Remember this, no matter what height I Yang Sheng reaches in the end, I will definitely kill you.”

I looked at Yang Sheng and remained silent.

I actually don’t understand where Yang Sheng’s inexplicable hatred comes from. If the reason he has to kill me is because of what he did, which is exactly what I desperately want to stop, is that acceptable? What is this hatred? Do we have such hatred between us?

But not being able to understand it doesn’t mean I’ll back down. I only said four words to Yang Sheng: “I’m waiting for you!”

The story of the small town has come to an end. Perhaps when the sun rises, the people who come back to work here will not think that there was such a bloody battle the day before. The only thing that needs to be explained is the death of this old man, but I think more people know how to deal with this kind of thing. And who killed this old man is still a mystery.

All of Yang Sheng’s subordinates were loaded into cars and taken away… and the bodies of the people in the town were transported to the entrance of the mountain pass, waiting quietly for the ‘last journey’ of life.

This also included the body of the old man.

In the early morning of this summer… a strong wind suddenly blew, followed by heavy rain, as if to wash away the traces left here.

In the sound of the rain, I heard the Da Xing Da Wu say to me, “Come with us to the village. You have to be entertained when you come here.”

The rain did not stop, and Qiangzi still did not wake up.
