Qi Wuge caught up and said dissatisfiedly: "Overlapping Hou, you don't care, your minions are not respectful, and you must not rebel in the future?"

Shi Yuanji burst out laughing: "Don't say it, when His Majesty asked me to see him, I asked him to be my bodyguard on the surface, and behind my back I just wanted him to rebel, haha." ”

Qi Wuge's eyes widened and he looked at Shi Yuanji in dismay.

"Marquis Jingming, I heard that your grain store seems to have suddenly had a lot more grain after the drought?" Shi Yuanji asked with interest. "Could it be that the Heavenly Wolf passed on to you a spell like the Five Ghosts Transport, so your grain and grains are abundant?"

Qi Wuge finished speaking resentfully in his heart, his face flushed with anger, and he could only say a word.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's go to Tianqi Mountain first and solve your big trouble. Shi Yuanji looked at the road ahead and whipped to keep up with the horses.

The group drove for a while, and there were dilapidated houses and abandoned fields everywhere. Shi Yuanji looked at the demarcation on the side of the road before he could barely recognize this place.

Black Mountain Village.

He sensed the fluctuations in the mana around him, but found nothing. He calmed down again and listened to the noise, but heard nothing.

"It looks like the whole village is gone. Shi Yuanji sighed silently.

Relying on the superb physical fitness improved by the dragon machine technique, he raised his eyes and looked around, only to see a few figures swimming in the distant woods. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, it blends in with the shadows of the woods.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked away, no longer focusing on the figure in the woods.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Li Laiheng hurried back from the front with a horsewhip, and he said with a depressed face: "There is no inn, no post station, and no family, and the whole village has fled." ”

"Troubled times. "** lamented. "Just find a house in the village to live in, we have luggage anyway. ”

Everyone turned over and dismounted, and each found a room to store his luggage and horses, and prepared to make a fire and cook. Li Laiheng was also diligent, drew a steel whip, broke a few dead trees without bark, and after a while, he set up a fire.

As the sun sets below the horizon, the red moon silently rises into the sky. Under the light of the red moon, Shi Yuanji felt extremely relieved.

Sure enough, I still only believe in myself, Shi Yuanji said with a smile in his heart.

Shi Yuanji and Yuanrang took out the iron pot and kitchen utensils, picked some wild vegetables, broke a few pieces of dried meat, and made a pot of soup. **Take out the dry steamed buns from the luggage, share them with everyone, and everyone breaks the steamed buns and soaks them in the soup and drinks them deliciously.

Except, of course, Qiwu Ge.

"Jing Minghou, try this soup, my two apprentices can cook. "**Sincerely invite Qi Wu Ge.

Qi Wuge waved his hand and refused with a smile, but he couldn't hide the disdain in his eyes: "I eat this." He pulled out a piece of cooked beef from his luggage and nibbled on it to himself.

Li Laiheng snorted fiercely and continued to drink the soup in his hand.

Shi Yuanji watched everything with interest, but saw the Kui wood wolf hiding in the shadows and signaled to Shi Yuanji.

"I'm going to pee. Shi Yuanji put down the bowl and said boredly.

"Master Hou, when Li Laiheng went to explore the road, he met a few people. As soon as Shi Yuanji hid in the shadows, Kui Mu Wolf lowered his voice and said.

"You're only telling me now, you can't catch them, right?" Shi Yuanji said with a smile as he looked at Kui Mu Wolf.

"Yes, but it's a bit complicated. Kui Mu Wolf was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Let's go, take me to see it. ”

Kui Wood Wolf and Shi Yuanji galloped to the woods outside Black Mountain Village, and saw a teenager tied to a tree. Obviously, this is the handiwork of Kui Timberwolf.

"Bastard, let me go!" the tall boy swore at Kui Wood Wolf and Shi Yuanji in the local dialect.

"Locals?" Shi Yuanji said with a smile as he tried to make a kind expression. "You know Li Laiheng?"

"Phew, that bastard, betrayed us. The boy shouted. "Li Laiheng and my father said that they would be dogs and legs for the dog officer when they turned around......"

Kui Timber Wolf rushed in front of him and covered his mouth: "Shouting so loudly, is it trying to ventilate the news? It's useless, I set up a magic circle, and no sound can be heard." ”

The boy's eyes were filled with despair.

Kui Mu Wolf let go of his hand and retreated behind Shi Yuanji. Shi Yuanji smiled and said, "No wonder there is not even a single figure in Black Mountain Village, it seems that they are all hiding in the mountains." Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. ”

"Fart, you stay with Guisui Town's Qi Papi, you're not good people. The young man looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and still scolded and scolded. "If you don't give out disaster relief food, and you also catch children, you are definitely not a good person. ”

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Shi Yuanji untied the rope from the young man's body, ignored him, and turned around to return to Black Mountain Village.

"You're going to let me go?" the boy rubbed his numb wrist, momentarily overwhelmed. However, neither Shi Yuanji nor Kui Mu Wolf answered him, nor did they even look at him.

Although he was still puzzled, the boy raised his legs and ran quickly into the depths of the forest.

Kui Wood Wolf whispered, "Master Hou, do you need to follow him?"

"No, they're all hard-working. Shi Yuanji said with a sympathetic expression. "Anyway, they have no malicious intent, you just need to watch Qiwu Ge. As for Li Laiheng, I have my own way. ”

"Yes. The Timber Wolf gave a bow and disappeared into the shadows.

Shi Yuanji sorted out his emotions, pretended to return to the iron pot easily, picked up the soup bowl, but saw Li Laiheng looking at him with a wicked smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Shi Yuanji was confused.

"Master, why have you been there for so long?" Li Laiheng scooped up the last bit of soup in the iron pot and poured it into Shi Yuanji's bowl.

**He Yuanrang has long been accustomed to Li Laiheng's wittiness, and happily looks at the embarrassed Shi Yuanji. Qi Wuge looked disdainful, muttered something in his mouth, picked up his luggage, and found an empty room to sleep in.

"I'm ......" Shi Yuanji blushed for a while, and he was hesitant. "After eating, you come to me. ”

Li Laiheng's eyes widened, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Master, are you okay?"

In the midst of louder laughter, Shi Yuanji blushed and defended: "What's with what? I'm going to give you a double whip and write a few dragon patterns." ”

"Alright, pack up, it's time to go to bed, and try to get to Blackwater tomorrow. **Stop laughing, relieve Shi Yuanji's embarrassment, and say kindly.

......

In an empty house in Black Mountain Village, Shi Yuanji sat on an earthen kang, his right index finger condensing mana, shining with a gentle red light.

"With the current cultivation speed, it will take another half a year to reach the fourth-level realm of the True Dragon Technique. Back then, the master said that after cultivating to the fourth layer, he could crush the void, I don't know if it was an exaggeration?"

When he was in Xingqing Mountain, Shi Yuanji tested his physical body with the help of Li Ying and Xiao Tu, but the results were not satisfactory. This time, the Dragon Machine Technique had reached the fourth layer, and he suspected that the so-called Broken Void was not the same as he imagined.

In any case, it is always a good thing for him to improve his strength. According to his inference, this time I went to Tianqi Mountain, I am afraid that I will encounter ** annoyance.

Thinking so in his heart, he took out Xiang Shen and Tian Kuiyu, and looked for Nuying's whereabouts again.

The moonlight of the red moon shone all over half of Pangu Tian, from the Whale Roar Sea to Fenghao, from Haitang Town to Zhuxiang Mountain, from Hanoi to Branding Yuan, from Jicheng to the west of Tianshan Mountain, there was no trace of Nuying.

Shi Yuanji sighed: "I can only gamble." ”

"Master, what are you betting on?" Li Laiheng came to Shi Yuanji's room and saw his bitter gourd face at a glance. "Do you still want to be a lady? I tell you, a woman has to be coaxed, and when she is coaxed, she will not run away from home. ”

"You're right, I do want her back. Shi Yuanji's mana condensed at his fingertips suddenly became longer, resembling a sharp sword.

Li Laiheng hurriedly stopped his smile, couldn't help but take two steps back, and asked cautiously: "Master, ...... are you?"

"Give me the double whip. Shi Yuanji said expressionlessly.

Li Laiheng took a deep breath, hesitated slightly, and after a long time, he still handed over the two steel whips and put them in front of Shi Yuanji.

Shi Yuanji didn't say a word, waved his index finger, and engraved the dragon pattern on the steel whip, and in less than a breath, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder on the double whip.

"Thank you, master. Li Laiheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the steel whip, and danced happily a few times.

"If you have a chance in the future, I will use Lei Qinggang to make a pair for you. Shi Yuanji looked at the red moon outside the window, his face solemn.

"Master, what's wrong with you, you're not happy?" Li Laiheng thought for a while, and Shi Li said. "Master, I will never make jokes about you and Mrs. again. ”

Shi Yuanji smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood, not because of this incident. ”

He paused for a moment and asked sincerely: "Li Laiheng, let me ask you, if you encounter something and you have to do it, but you are in danger of death if you do it, you will still ...... Why? Would you still treat it as your own business?"

"Master, isn't it dangerous? Can you stay out of the way?" Li Laiheng said worriedly, retracting his double whip on his back.

"Yes, I can stay out of it. Shi Yuanji raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "But if I'm really out of it, then I'm afraid I won't be me. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Laiheng scratched his scalp, puzzled.

"Have you ever seen a walking corpse?" Shi Yuanji lowered his head and looked at the Tiankuiyu in his hand. "They are the product of spells, without the slightest humanity, only the instinct given by spells, cannibalism. ”

"Some people say that the walking dead are just doing what is good for them, so there's nothing wrong with them. You say, 'Is that right?'

"Of course not, why should we give it food?" replied Li Laiheng confidently.

After Shi Yuanji listened, his solemn expression gradually released, like the ice and snow in early spring meeting the rising sun.

"Let me ask you again, when you brought so many victims to attack Ouyang Xuan's defense line, were you afraid?"

Li Laiheng smiled embarrassedly: "How can there be a reason not to be afraid? But looking at those people who are starving to death, I can't get over it." There are a lot of scum like Qi Wuge, Feng Ho, they sit back and watch starvation everywhere, then I won't accept it. ”

"At that time, as soon as the gun sounded, many victims fell, and many victims were scared and ran away, and I was afraid, but I didn't run. Like you said, if I run away, then I'm not me anymore. ”

Shi Yuanji laughed heartily: "Thank you, Li Laiheng, I know what to do." ”

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Li Laiheng said worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just think that I didn't go to Shuo Zhentian with Hei Ming a few days ago to avoid trouble, so I chose the right one. Shi Yuanji said with a smile. "You see, I have such selfish thoughts in my heart. ”

"I ...... The more I listened, the more confused I became. Li Laiheng tightened the double whip on his back, and his brows furrowed.

"No big deal, let's rest. ”

Since he was ordered to be evicted, Li Laiheng was also interested, and after giving the salute, he turned around and walked out of the door.

"Tell your friends in the mountains, don't be impulsive, Qi Wuge is a serious and powerful marquis with a fief, and it will not end well if he moves. ”

Li Laiheng had just closed the door when he heard Shi Yuanji's request in the house. He was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly, "I know, master." ”
