C59 The Mastermind!
Article 59 behind the scenes!
"You are the hunter of Three River Town, Luh Jiu?" Jiang Ling stared at Luh Jiu with his sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Lu Wu Tang could not lie to him on the list of the dead. It was meaningless.
Then who was Luh Jiu in front of him? If he had the same name and surname, it would not be too much of a coincidence.
"Yes, yes, yes, I am that Luh Jiu!"
Luh Jiu knelt on the ground respectfully. His head was like a chick pecking at rice. He hurriedly admitted his identity.
"But you are already dead, aren't you?" Jiang Ling's eyes flashed. Situ Qing and Zhan Muxue's expressions also changed.
"I have a big life. I was lucky enough to escape this disaster!" Luh Jiu's voice trembled, as if he was afraid of what had happened.
"Get up and speak slowly." Jiang Ling gave Situ Qing a look, and the latter immediately took a clean hassock for Luh Jiu.
A dead person was still alive, and even the mayor, Lu Wu Tang, and the others did not know about this.
Jiang Ling rubbed his chin, feeling that this matter wasn't simple at all.
Luh Jiu stood up shakily and fell onto the hassock. His chest heaved up and down violently, it seemed like his emotions hadn't calmed down yet.
After resting for a long time, Luh Jiu slowly said, "About ten days ago, I made an appointment with a few familiar people and went into the mountains to hunt together..."
"It has not been peaceful during this period of time. You still dare to enter the mountain?" Situ Qing frowned slightly and said while staring at Luh Jiu.
Her voice scared Luh Jiu so much that his body trembled. He hurriedly said helplessly, "There is no way. This little one is a hunter. If we do not enter the mountain to hunt, the family didn't even have enough food to eat. The other old hunters in the village... The situation at home is also like this. Only then did we decide to go into the mountains with this little one! "
"So that's how it is..." Jiang Ling nodded to himself, then waved his hand to signal Situ Qing to step back a little. "Let him continue."
Luh Jiu frowned and sighed in fear. "We only planned to hunt some prey in the nearby mountains and then return, so we stayed in the mountains for three days. Our harvest along the way was quite bountiful. That night, we were very happy after counting the prey. We decided to return to the town the next day, but who knew!? "
Speaking up to this point, Luh Jiu's voice was slightly choked with sobs. " I spent the night with Old Jin and the others in the same valley as usual. I said that I should go and get some water. Let's cook some rabbit meat and celebrate. I didn't think that I would be able to escape this calamity. "
"When I came back with the water, I found that everyone in the camp was dead. It was so miserable. Broken corpses were everywhere!"
Luh Jiu recalled the scene he saw that day and closed his eyes with great reluctance.
"Other than those broken corpses, you must have seen something else." Jiang Ling stared at Luh Jiu, not letting go of any changes on his face.
Situ Qing and Zhan Muxue heard what he said and looked at Jiang Ling with puzzled eyes.
Jiang Ling saw this and explained softly, "Luh Jiu survived a great disaster. The most important thing to do should be to immediately return home to report his safety, but the people in the town all think that he is dead."
"It means that he did not return to the town during this period of time. Is it not possible or not? What is the cause of it? If it's just a demon, we definitely can't make him so cowardly... " Jiang Ling's eyes slowly fell on Luh Jiu," According to my guess, you must have seen some powerful and scary people. "
Situ Qing and Jiang Ling's eyes lit up when they heard Jiang Ling's explanation.
Luh Jiu nodded heavily. "Hero, your foresight is really godly!"
He looked up at Jiang Ling and rolled his throat. He said with some difficulty, "I... I saw that it was Master Qiu... He ate Old Jin and the others!"
Situ Qing's expression changed instantly and she exclaimed, "Master Qiu? You mean Qiu Luoyang, the master of Cihang Daoist House? "
Luh Jiu nodded his head again. Even though he had confirmed it, Situ Qing still did not believe him.
"Although Qiu Luoyang is reputed to be a heaven warping genius, he is a kind person and has received the praise of many people. He... does not seem like the person who does such things." Situ Qing muttered.
Sensing the gazes of the three people on her, Luh Jiu hurriedly explained to her, "What I said is absolutely true, not false at all!"1
"Qiu Luoyang is the Ramadan of Cihang Daoist House. This lowly one has seen his appearance before. I have a deep impression of him. I will definitely not make a mistake!"
Luh Jiu's words echoed in Jiang Ling and the other two's ears like a clap of thunder.
This news was too shocking!
"So, this is the reason why you don't dare to return to the town?" Jiang Ling looked at Luh Jiu and said slowly.
"Yeah, who would have thought that all demons are fake? The real culprit is Qiu Luoyang. I understand that even if I return to the town, I don't want to implicate my family because of this. That's why I've been hiding outside for a long time."
At this point, Luh Jiu's eyes were filled with fear as he looked outside the hall. His voice trembled as he said, "Although I did not see it with my own eyes, I have been a hunter for so many years. I have a very strong intuition that someone is hunting me down in the mountains! "
Jiang Ling did not have much doubt about these words.
With Qiu Luoyang's strength, it was a piece of cake for him to find the death list. Comparing it to the situation at that time, he could naturally find out that someone was faking his death.
Perhaps he had already noticed this matter, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he sent someone to hunt down Luh Jiu in secret.
"Heroes, please save me. Luh Jiu really has nowhere else to go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you heroes!" Luh Jiu's voice was sorrowful as he knelt on the ground.
Jiang Ling knew what Luh Jiu was feeling in his heart. For a colossus like Cihang Daoist House, even ordinary sects would feel uneasy if they provoked it, let alone an ordinary person like Luh Jiu.
Luh Jiu, who had become famous in the town and was in a desperate situation, undoubtedly treated them as his life-saving straw.
This was no different from a huge gamble for Luh Jiu. After all, if they heard what he said, not only would they not help him, but they would also send him to "Cihang Daoist House."
At that time, he would say no to it every day, but the ground would not budge!
"Get up. Don't worry. We will handle this matter and guarantee your safety." Jiang Ling sighed lightly.
After hearing this, Luh Jiu let out a long breath. His tensed heart relaxed a little.
During this period of time, he had been hiding everywhere and living in fear. He was afraid that he would die in the mountains.
Now that he told this news, it was a worthy death. Of course, it was best to keep his life.
"During this period of time, you can follow us first." Jiang Ling had been staring at the changes in Luh Jiu's facial expression. He sighed in his heart. It had been hard on him during this period of time.
"Thank you, hero!" Luh Jiu's head heavily knocked on the ground.
Before Luh Jiu could raise his head, Situ Qing's expression suddenly changed.
"Be careful!"
Swoosh!
Before he could finish his words, the sound of a rushing wind was heard. A white light suddenly pierced through the wooden door and headed straight for Luh Jiu.
Situ Qing's movement was extremely fast. The moment the wooden door was broken, she had already rushed out and dragged Luh Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground, to the side.
