Chapter 18: A father's love that is worthy of praise and tears, the statue of Guanyin weeping a

Chen Dabao put his hands behind his back and watched Xiao Liu leave. The snow in the sky fluttered and fell on the white hair.

There was a little wandering and complicated in his eyes.

Sun Changbiao died. What Old Chen was sad about and concerned about was not Sun Changbiao's death. In this era, it was normal for someone to die.

But what Old Chen cared about was Li Che's ability to act.

It was just found out that the person who coveted Xixi was Sun Changbiao, who worshipped the Lingying Sect. As a result, as soon as he got off work... Li Che hurried to kill Sun Changbiao.

Decisive, ruthless, and quick to act!

Was it really Li Che who did it?

Where did he get the strength to kill Sun Changbiao?

Even Old Chen was a little dazed and confused.

The leisurely mood of the original walk changed. He took a step, turned a corner, and went to Sun Changbiao's yard.

As soon as he approached the yard, he heard a deafening cry.

Outside the courtyard, a crowd of people crowded around. The housekeeper, Old Sun, was seen. His old face was pale, his whole body was trembling, his fists clenched, angry and sad.

"Who is it? Who killed my son?"

"My son is a peaceful and honest person, who is kind to others. Who is so vicious?"

Housekeeper Sun cried bitterly, the pain of losing his son penetrated his heart.

Liu was supported by someone and sat on a chair, crying and sobbing.

Old Chen went in and asked for a while, and suddenly felt strange in his heart.

"He is as tall and burly as a mountain, his palm is like a palm fan, he kicked the door and kicked Sun Changbiao..."

"It was a warrior in the Bone Tempering Realm who did it... It seems that it was not Li Che, but Li Che has just completed the grinding of the skin, and he will only be beaten to death against Sun Changbiao."

"It's strange, how can there be such a coincidence?"

Old Chen was also amazed.

Looking at Sun Changbiao's headless, broken bones and shattered internal organs, he shook his head. He did die miserably.

He turned his head and saw Sun Changbiao's four daughters standing in the corner, timidly. The eldest daughter, who was the leader, looked at her father's body. There was no sadness in her eyes, but...

there was pleasure.

…

…

The news that Sun Changbiao was killed by the gangsters spread like a storm in the Xuji compound.

For a time, it caused a big wave.

The third shopkeeper was out of the city and was not in the shop. As a result, this kind of thing happened, which had a great impact.

The next day, Xuji in the inner city sent people to investigate, accompanied by the constables in the government office in the outer city.

Xu Beihu was wearing a fox cloak. On his burly body, strands of condensed blood were moving like electric arcs. Looking at Sun Changbiao's body in the coffin, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"He was so strong that he kicked and shattered Sun Changbiao's internal organs. When they exchanged punches, he also broke Sun Changbiao's arm bones, showing a crushing momentum. There is no doubt that the attacker... must be a domineering and tough warrior. As for the final killing method of cutting off the head, the wound was so smooth, indicating that the weapon was extremely sharp... but it seemed to be a sword."

Beside Xu Beihu, Zhao Chuanxiong, the head of the outer city government, was also burly, with a wide-bladed sword on his waist, and analyzed with narrowed eyes.

"Captain Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. I never thought that after my Xuji has been stable for so many years, there would be criminals who would break into my Xuji shop and commit crimes unscrupulously."

Xu Beihu clasped his fists.

Zhao Chuanxiong smiled and waved his hands: "Maybe it was done by other families, who wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and deliberately disgust your Xuji, but it's also strange... Why did they look for Sun Changbiao? Why was it him?"

Xu Beihu was also confused, and he couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking for a while.

Zhao Chuanxiong smiled, raised his hand and waved it gently.

"Search and see if there are any clues."

After the words fell, several constables brought by Zhao Chuanxiong set out to search Sun Changbiao's mansion.

Liu, who was sitting on the chair and crying, saw the constables searching, but a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, followed by despair.

After a while, a constable shouted: "Found it!"

Immediately, he ran back with a "three-headed and six-armed spiritual infant statue".

"Spiritual Infant Cult?!"

Xu Beihu's eyes were glaring, his hair was flying, and he turned to Liu and shouted angrily: "You are worshipping the Spiritual Infant Cult?!"

Zhao Chuanxiong narrowed his eyes and clapped his hands slightly: "So it turned out to be the Spiritual Infant Cult, then it's almost clear..."

He glanced at the four girls standing in the corner. The youngest was only two or three years old, with her head tilted, her hair messy, and her face full of confusion.

Xu Beihu had a gloomy face. Although the Lingying Sect's infiltration into the shop was expected long ago, it was suddenly revealed, which made Xu Ji embarrassed.

"Now the matter is probably clear. Sun Changbiao worshipped the Lingying Sect, and his daughter must have been favored by the Lingying Sect. They wanted to take her away for sacrifice. Sun Changbiao didn't want to save his daughter's life, so he tried to stop them and was killed by the villains."

"Tsk tsk, it's really a touching father's love..."

"Liu, do you think so?"

Sitting on the chair, Liu was still crying and was stunned.

Mixed in the crowd, Li Che couldn't help but twitching his mouth when he heard the captain's analysis.

Sun Changbiao did die of father's love, but that was his father's love...

Without waiting any longer, Li Che went to the training ground to practice.

...

...

The training ground was in full swing.

The new woodcarvers recruited by the shop this year have just learned the skin grinding practice method. They are full of fighting spirit, carrying stone locks and practicing continuously.

Zhao Xuan, with straight and slender legs, was instructing the newcomers. When she saw Li Che, she immediately greeted him with a smile: "Master Li is here?"

Li Che smiled gently and nodded in response.

Wang Zhengpin, who was standing by, was sweating all over and stopped training: "Master Li, have you heard that Master Sun died tragically? He was crushed by the evildoers, tortured to death, and finally had his head cut off. It was horrible."

Li Che's mouth twitched. The more he spread, the more exaggerated it became... How could he be so cruel?

But Li Che still joined the chat with a sigh on his face.

Several old people were chatting, but the newcomers did not dare to interfere. After a while, Li Che began to practice.

The cultivation level he showed outside was the great success of grinding skin, which had already made many people envious.

Li Che would not fall behind in daily practice. After all, the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit could be livered to maturity, and daily practice was essential.

However, while practicing, Li Che was thinking about the method of opening tendons and the method of internal strength.

Just as he was thinking, Xu Beihu came to the training ground.

"Second shopkeeper."

Everyone stopped what they were doing, clasped their fists and bowed.

Xu Beihu's expression eased a little: "Today I came to the outer city to investigate the cause of Sun Changbiao's death, and I can also guide your cultivation."

His eyes fell on Li Che, showing satisfaction: "You have mastered the skin grinding in a year, and your body training talent is very good. You must work hard and not slack off. If you have any needs, you can ask for them."

Li Che heard this and clasped his fists and said: "Second shopkeeper... Now that I have mastered the skin grinding, I wonder if I can ask for a method of opening tendons and internal strength?"

"Today I passed by Master Sun's yard and saw his miserable death. I was still frightened. I heard that Master Sun was a fatherly lover, and he died tragically to protect his daughter. I... I am afraid."

Li Che's words were full of sincerity and worry.

Xu Beihu fell silent after hearing this. He had heard about Li Che.

Li Che had entered Xuji to seek shelter because he was worried about the Lingying Sect. As a result... Now that this happened, Xuji was indeed a little embarrassed. This was a sign of declining prestige.

However, the rules of Xuji could not be broken. Xu Beihu shook his head with a look of regret on his face: "Xuji's rules are set... You need to reach the perfection of skin grinding before you can pass on the tendon opening method and internal strength method..."

"You have to lay a solid foundation before you can move forward. Otherwise, the high building will easily collapse. I passed it on to you in advance because I was afraid that you could not resist the temptation and practiced it in advance, which would hurt your body. This is for your own good."

Li Che heard this and showed a look of regret on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Beihu hesitated for a moment, and then a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, which he handed to Li Che: "This... It contains the 'Mopi Pill', a total of six pills... It's a reward for your great success in Mopi."

"Take this pill, one pill every five days. With your talent, you can probably finish Mopi in more than a month."

"Then you can come to me for the tendon opening method and internal strength method."

Li Che felt a little regretful when he heard this, but his face showed joy. He took the "Mopi Pill" and had already made up his mind to go to the market to see if he could buy the internal strength method.

Old Chen said that they were not members of the Xu family, so the meridian opening method and internal strength method they were qualified to practice were not actually very advanced, and were not much different from the high-quality internal strength methods that could be bought in the market outside.

Seeing Li Che take the pill, Xu Beihu's rough face suddenly showed a smile.

"Li Che, I have another job here, so I came to find you."

"Knowing that your wood carvings are full of meaning, the young master of the Si family in the inner city came to me and wanted to ask you to carve a wood carving. The reward is five gold leaves."

Li Che was shocked when he heard this.

Five gold leaves? !

Five hundred taels!

A big customer!

But this undoubtedly also shows that the other party's requirements are not simple at all, and this wood carving job must be extremely difficult.

Li Che's face was solemn, and he clasped his fists and stared: "I wonder what the young master of the Si family wants to carve?"

Xu Beihu looked at the cautious Li Che and smiled.

"Nine-headed Guanyin crying and suppressing ghosts."
