Killing People
On his way back, Ye Kong quickly left the bustling main road and walked onto a small path with few people.
The ruffians behind him were naturally overjoyed. They had followed Ye Kong from the ring, and when they saw how curious he looked like a country bumpkin, they guessed that he was a foreigner, so they were ready to make their move. Unfortunately, he had always taken the main road, so they hadn't found an opportunity.
Later on, when they saw him pay nine taels of silver to the Lu brothers, they were even happier. They had met a fat sheep. As for the Lu brothers, they did not even consider them. Lu Jun and the others were only the lowest level of the gang. Would they dare to ruin their own business?
In a remote alley, Ye Kong was finally blocked. There were three people in front of him and three behind him, all of them holding sabers and clubs, grinning hideously as they approached him.
"Little friend, we want to borrow some money from you.”A hoarse voice came from behind.
Leaning against the wall, Ye Kong sized up the six gangsters. Sure enough, all of them were well-built and looked fierce.
"In broad daylight, aren't you afraid that I'll report it to the authorities?”Ye Kong's appearance was very much like that of a cynical scholar who was obsessed with reading.
"Report to the authorities? There were dozens of murders in the Southern Capital every day. Would anyone pay attention to a foreign kid like you?”The man with the rough voice laughed. They were afraid of no one but scholars.
"But I know how to draw. I will go to the government and draw your faces. I think it will be easy for the soldiers to find you according to the map.”Ye Kong said with a smile.
The ruffians looked at each other and saw the killing intent in each other's eyes. They didn't want to kill anyone at first, but now it seemed that they could only silence them. Anyway, they had done this many times.
"Little brat! It's impossible to let you go. Don't blame your brothers. If you want to blame someone, blame your mouth!”
The leader of the burly men didn't wait any longer. With a fierce look on his face, he stabbed the bull-horn knife in his hand at Ye Kong's abdomen.
Although the other party was fast, Ye Kong's gaze and movements were no longer the same as they had been a year ago. Although he didn't have any spells yet, he didn't care about these ruffians at all.
A mocking look flashed across Ye Kong's eyes, and his hand moved like lightning. With two fingers, he caught the bull-horn knife between his fingertips.
The leader of the ruffians tried to stab forward, but he couldn't move forward at all. He knew that he had encountered a gang member, so he shouted at the other ruffians," This is tricky. Let's attack together!”
Ye Kong didn't wait for the others to get close. He raised his palm and struck out, roaring," Go!”
Ye Kong's palm landed squarely on the man's chest, and the strong and powerful man was sent flying by the thin Ye Kong. He crashed into the wall with a loud bang, then bounced back and fell to the ground, twitching twice. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
It seemed that this skill was not practiced for nothing! Ye Kong's heart leaped with joy, and he used the lightness skill he had secretly learned before, Flying Ten Thousand Mile. His hands were similar to the Cloud Platform Falling Leaf Palm, and he easily dodged and attacked the local ruffians.
Those local ruffians were all weak, and they couldn't even put up a fight. Ye Kong had the agility and strength of a Novice Immortal, so he didn't hold back at all. In the blink of an eye, he had taken down all of his opponents.
The last skinny man turned around and ran when he saw that the situation was not right. He even shouted," The Dragon Snake Gang is looking for you for revenge!”
"Brat! I'll let you have a taste of Earth's hooligans 'brick!”Ye Kong picked up a half-broken brick by the side of the road, followed it like a shadow, and smacked the man on the back of his head!
"Pa!" The ruffian's head was smashed like a broken watermelon, and red and white things flowed out.
"F * ck him, how disgusting.”Ye Kong held back his vomit. This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands. Although he wasn't scared, he still felt terrible.
The last ruffian's words reminded him that he couldn't leave anyone alive. However, Ye Kong still couldn't bring himself to kill those heavily injured ruffians.
"Cut their throats with a knife? Or should he continue to hit his head with the brick? They all seem quite cruel…" Ye Kong thought to himself. He didn't hesitate to attack in a fight, but when it came to killing a heavily injured person, he couldn't help but show mercy.
"Ya! Murder!" Suddenly, there was a cry of alarm at the entrance of the alley. A figure turned around and ran out.
Ye Kong knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the brick and started slapping them one by one. Then he shouted," Murder!"”Then, he blended into the crowd and left.
Ye Kong's heart was still pounding as he stood in front of the Ye Residence. This was the first time he had killed someone, and it was six people. Six lives, and he had just slapped them so hard that their brains were all over the place…
"Eighth Young Master is back." Li Laosi smiled coquettishly and welcomed him.
" Mm-hm…" Ye Kong was a little distracted. He lowered his head to examine his clothes, but there were no traces of blood or brain matter. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and enter the Ye Residence.
He returned home in a daze. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a very ear-piercing woman's voice.
"Did you do it on purpose? He clearly knew that Second Mistress was waiting for this new dress, but it was still not embroidered?”
"Granny Hu, you just brought it over this morning. I didn't stop at all during lunch. Give me a moment. I'll definitely finish embroidery before dark.”Chen Jiuniang whispered.
"Before dark? Can you bear the responsibility for delaying Second Mistress 'matter?”Granny Hu's arrogant voice came again, and then her voice suddenly became gentle again." Otherwise, I'll have to help you put in a good word in front of Second Mistress. I don't know if Second Mistress will listen to me no matter what.”
Chen Jiuniang immediately understood and hurriedly said," Granny Hu, you've worked hard. Please accept these two taels of silver."”
In fact, the purpose of Granny Hu's visit was to extort some silver. She deliberately delayed the embroidery work and asked for it in advance, forcing Chen Jiuniang to give her benefits.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." When Granny Hu saw the silver, she immediately became happy.
However, just as she reached out her hand, she heard someone snort coldly behind her." You want others to help you with your work. Not only do you not pay, you even want to pay. Is there such a reason in the world?”
Granny Hu was not a kind person. She was a tyrant in the outer court of the Ye residence. Her son had also changed his surname to Ye with the old master. He was skilled in martial arts and was highly regarded by the old master. Therefore, everyone in the outer court was afraid of her. They called her Granny Hu behind her back, meaning that she was a tiger's ass that could not be touched.
Granny Hu had also heard some rumors recently, but she did not see what was so scary about children. She immediately put her hands on her hips and became a tigress.
"Chen Jiuniang! Look at how your son talks to me! Do you want my kid to help the general teach him a lesson?”
Ye Kong laughed coldly." Then let your son do it. I'd like to see who has the guts to help Ye Haoran teach me a lesson."”
Ye Kong had just finished killing someone, and his vicious aura was unmistakable. Granny Hu actually felt a sense of fear rising in her heart.
"Hmph, hurry up. I won't argue with an ugly woman like you.”Granny Hu's words had softened, but she shouldn't have scolded Chen Jiuniang.
"Pa!" A crisp slap landed on Granny Hu's face.
Granny Hu was stunned. Her first reaction was to ask Ye Kong," You dare hit me?"”
Chen Jiuniang was also shocked. Granny Hu's son was very good at martial arts.
Before she could stop him, Ye Kong slapped her again." I'll hit you!"”
"Just you wait!" Granny Hu screamed as she covered her face and ran out.
Chen Jiuniang was frightened." Kong 'er, his son Ye Hai's martial arts skills are outstanding, and he's working in the yamen! Why don't…we take the silver and apologize to her?”
"Mother!" Ye Kong held onto Chen Jiuniang's shoulder and looked into her eyes firmly as he said," Mother, don't worry. Kong 'er has grown up. I can protect you!" Can you trust me?"
Chen Jiuniang looked at Ye Kong, her deep eyes filled with determination and persistence, like a responsible man.
"Mother believes you."
Soon, Ye Kong returned to his room. He knew that Ye Hai had really practiced martial arts before, and could be said to be highly skilled and experienced. He could even fight Ye Haoran, and the difference between him and the local ruffians he had just killed was not one or two levels.
If he were to fight Ye Hai, he would have no chance of winning with his agility and half-baked martial arts skills.
Therefore, he had to seize the time to draw talismans. Although the yellow paper talismans were used to treat people's illnesses, some of them could also have the effect of defeating the enemy.
Ye Kong was initially prepared to draw a Spirit Concentration Talisman. The effect of this talisman was to save the patient's last breath. When a person was about to die, his soul would also have to ascend to heaven. In order to allow the patient to hold on to his last breath and delay the process of ascending to heaven, he had this Soul Restraining Talisman.
The principle of this Soul Stopping Talisman was to isolate the soul, making it unable to move. At the same time, it would also cut off the connection between the soul and the limbs. After being hit by this talisman, the brain would still be clear and could hear and see, but it would not be able to move at all. It would not even be able to blink.
It was dusk, but the room was exceptionally bright. The fiery red sunset in the distance seemed to have plated everything in the room with a golden red color.
Ye Kong put down the yellow paper and used a paperweight to press down on it. He then took out an inkstone, washed it clean, and put in some clean water. He crushed a small piece of cinnabar and used the square stone he had prepared earlier to slowly press down on the inkstone.
As he grinded the cinnabar, he immersed his consciousness into the spiritual altar and opened the Encyclopedia of Talismans. He memorized the strokes and requirements of the Soul Concentration Talisman one last time.
Actually, according to the book, before drawing talismans, one had to take a bath and change clothes, burn incense, worship, kneel to the heavens, and ask the Grand Supreme Elder to descend to the mortal world for help.
Ye Kong didn't think much of all this. He really couldn't see any connection between bathing, changing clothes, and drawing talismans. As for asking the Grand Supreme Elder for help, that was even more ridiculous. No one in Cangnan Continent believed in such things, so wouldn't there still be people who achieved enlightenment and ascended?
In Ye Kong's view, the reason for the ascension was that you were too strong, so strong that this world could no longer accommodate you. The Heavenly Dao was balanced, so it could only send you away.
These were all questions of strength, not whether one believed in Taishang Laojun or not, or whether one had bathed or not.
