Chapter 55: Visiting the Magistrate's Office at Night (5)
Mei Shinan held back the panic and said, "Who are you? When did you come here, what are you doing here again?" He was speechless and was extremely scared.
This was originally asked by the old man as the master, but unexpectedly, Mei Shinan, who was a thief, asked instead.
The old man slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes were cloudy, and he said weakly: "My name is Zhou Lichun. I just came here, and I only came here when I saw two of you here."
Mei Shinan was shocked, her hands and feet trembled at the same time, and she said in a trembling voice: "What, are you the county magistrate Zhou Lichun here?"
Zhu Qingsheng was stunned. He heard the meaning of the Ten Difficulties of Mei. This person seemed to be the county magistrate here. How could he look like such a sick old man?
Zhou Lichun slowly stood up and walked towards them slowly, saying, "Whether the county magistrate is not a county magistrate, what's the difference? Tomorrow, it will be just a handful of loess."
Zhou Lichun walked over step by step and looked at his thin body. It seemed that a gust of wind could blow away. Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shidao felt so depressed and fearful, and retreated step by step.
Fortunately, Zhou Lichun walked to the twenty oil lamps and stopped moving. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the flames below from the air, sighing: "What are you doing tonight? I'm not treating you well, so I offended you."
Seeing that he did not mean to shout out loudly to the constable, Zhu Qingsheng hurriedly said, "Boys offended so much tonight, so let's go now." Looking at the masked cloth he had already worn before, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was originally intended to prevent the corpse from being angry, but now it was made into a disguise, but Mei Shi was in trouble. He didn't bring anything, and even if he walked out, he would be wanted by drawing the photo below.
Mei Shinan pulled Zhu Qingsheng slowly backed to the door, trying to take down the armband, but found that the armband seemed to have taken root and could not be taken down. At this time, he was panicked at what point. He used to call him "county magistrate old man", but now he could not say it in front of the county magistrate old man. If Zhu Qingsheng hadn't supported him, his legs would have fallen to the ground with a soft leg.
Zhou Lichun seemed to have no concern for the two of them, and looked at the three coffins and said slowly: "Who, what did you say is fast? From birth, you have entered the coffin in a blink of an eye. This life has been so fast."
Zhu Qingsheng didn't understand what he meant, so he could only say, "Yes, time is like flowing water, never returning, and cannot be kept."
Zhou Lichun nodded and said, "Yes, I won't come back if time passes." He pointed to his oil lamp and said, "Two, do you know what these lamps are used for?"
Zhu Qingsheng looked down and saw twenty-seven oil lamps in front of the three coffins, burning, the candlelight flashed, and Zhou Lichun's shadow was also jumping. Zhu Qingsheng looked at the lamps and couldn't understand them at all, so he had to say, "I'm sorry, I really can't understand them."
Zhou Lichun said: "This is a master's guidance, called the Nine Star Soul Retention Lamp. It will take effect only when placed in front of the coffin. It means that as long as these lights are not extinguished, the soul will not leave the original corpse."
Zhu Qingsheng felt something was wrong, so he took a quick step back and said, "So it's so magical. I've disturbed you so much. I'll avenge you again, so we'll leave first." After that, he pulled Mei Shinan and turned around and walked outside.
Zhou Lichun sighed slowly, without turning his head, and waved downwards.
Zhu Qingsheng's heart beat hard. He just walked out the door with Mei Shinan when he heard a shout. Four detectives all surrounded him, and the steel knife pointed at Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan, less than a foot away from his body.
Zhou Lichun sighed: "Now the younger generations are less and less able to respect their elders, and they leave before they even finish their words, alas."
Mei Shinan said anxiously: "What should we do now? You said they are all surrounded."
Zhu Qingsheng slowly took two steps back. If there was no plum strait at this time, he had the Kui Yang Parasol in his hand, even if he could not defeat these four constables, he could escape safely. But now adding the plum straits would be a waste of his hands and his skills would be greatly reduced.
Zhou Lichun said: "Don't be afraid, you two, I just want to tell you something, they won't hurt you." Then he waved his hand outside. Seeing this, the four detectives took three steps outside, but they were still guarding the door and still holding the steel knife.
Zhu Qingsheng suddenly had an extremely bold idea in his heart. He quietly touched Kui Yang's parasol with his backhand, and lost a little bit of true power inside, but he said calmly: "Sir, you have a lot of it, so please spare us two boys. We did this because we had no choice."
Zhou Lichun ignored him and said to himself: "He calculated correctly. It turns out that the two boys came from the net tonight. They are too accurate, too accurate."
Facing Zhou Lichun who looked sick and had no energy at all, Zhu Qingsheng was always uneasy. Now when he heard him say this, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had known that he and Mei Shidao would come, so he had set up a net here. Could it be that there was no one in the lobby? He just did it in advance to let himself and Mei Shidao relax their guard?
Zhou Lichun turned around, and his face seemed to have a bloody look because of happiness. He stared at Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan with his turbid eyes, and said slowly: "Don't panic, you two, you have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree."
"You talk first." Seeing the old man's more politeness, Zhu Qingsheng felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Zhou Lichun said: "It's really weak to say that. The two young and strong are suitable for each other, especially you, the little brother, who comes from Maoshan. Although your skills are shallow, your internal strength is extremely pure. I am just trying to use the essence and blood of the two of you to retain the souls of these three father-in-laws. However, once the essence and blood are separated, you can't go back. I'm so sorry."
Although these words were plain, they were like thunders blew up in Zhu Qingsheng's ears. Zhu Qingsheng was shocked. How did this county magistrate know that he was from Maoshan and that he had never shown martial arts in front of him? How did he know?
Because of the Kui Parasol? But Zhu Qingsheng had already wrapped the Kui Parasol, and the corners were not exposed at all.
He also said that he would use his two eunuchs’ souls to retain the souls of the three eunuchs. What does it mean to use them to use their essence and blood?
Although Mei Shinan didn't understand what the county magistrate meant, and had no time to take care of what kind of Maoshan disciple Zhu Qingsheng was, he immediately understood that he was going to kill them when he heard "borrowing all the essence and blood of two people", and he immediately understood that he was going to kill them. Although he had just thought that he was caught by the county magistrate, there would be no good results in the current situation. He could only make two rounds of boards, and he could be imprisoned for a few days at most, but he didn't expect that he would take his life in one go.
Although Mei Shinan was quite brave, she couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment and said, "You old man are so unreasonable. You are all green on your head. You still have time to take care of us."
Zhou Lichun seemed to have not heard the two of them and waved his right hand towards the four detectives.
The four detectives understood it, shouted loudly, and slashed at him.
Zhu Qingsheng had accumulated energy for so long, so he pulled out the sun parasol with his right hand, and a red light flashed from the handle of the umbrella to the tip of the umbrella, and drew a semicircle from the left to the right.
The four detectives only saw a flash of red light in front of them, and flew backward without any control.
Kui Yang Parasol has high requirements for the user's true power, and this time it almost exhausted most of Zhu Qingsheng's true power. Zhu Qingsheng pulled Mei Shinan, who was staring at him in a daze, and said anxiously: "Go away!"
The two of them ran wildly, and before the four detectives could stand up, they disappeared from the corner of the yard.
Zhou Lichun was still standing there motionless, neither trying to chase or calling for someone to intercept, but just standing there.
"Hehe, it's really Kui Yang Parasol. The information is right. Sima Yuanji, who has disappeared for more than 20 years, finally reappeared." A clear voice suddenly came from the back hall.
Zhou Lichun bowed and immediately became respectful and polite, saying, "Mr. Zhong."
A handsome young man in his twenties walked out, wearing a dark blue flying fish suit, with an well-made embroidered spring knife on his waist, looking at the direction where Zhu Qingsheng and the others left, chuckled without saying a word.
