In the moat of Yicheng, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the bottom of the river.

A man who was holding a boat was looking at the woman beating her clothes by the river, when he suddenly saw a huge black shadow flashing from the river below, and he fell into the boat in fright, and even the oars fell into the water.

Seeing this, the laundry women laughed one after another, and a woman with a big shoulder and a thick waist shouted, "Zhang Lao Liu, what's the matter? I tossed and fought with your daughter-in-law yesterday, and I couldn't even stand on my feet?"

"Blind, nonsense!" Zhang Laoliu wiped the sweat from his face, cautiously leaned out, and looked in the water, there was nothing but oars.

"Are you dazzled?" Zhang Laoliu, who was holding the boat, thought about it, the black shadow just now was several times larger than his boat, how could there be such a big water monster in this moat, he must have been dazzled.

Zhang Lao Liu picked up the oars, glanced at the sturdy scenery on the chest of the little laundry lady at the front, and suddenly frowned, and a palm-sized fish came out, turning over its white belly, followed by the second and third ...... In the blink of an eye, this section of the moat was full of dead fish.

Farther away, the river tumbled, and the huge black shadow of the body shrank sharply before finally disappearing.

A white-haired old man stepped out of the water, stepped on the river, and slowly walked to the shore.

The white-haired old man looked around and made sure that no one noticed this side, and then walked along the river embankment, walked up the official road, and entered the city.

……

Ao Fenggu ate hot and sour vermicelli soup and fried dough sticks, wiped his mouth, washed the dishes, wiped the table again, and sat in the house for a long time before finally getting up, locking the door, going out of the courtyard, and throwing the salute into the carriage.

He glanced back at the old mansion he and Tingmei had bought together, and didn't say anything.

Yi Tingmei's intelligence, I'm afraid he already knew that he had someone else in his heart, but he never said it.

Temporarily separated, it's good for both of you.

Ao Fenggu sighed, shook the reins, and said to himself, "Those who should go will have to leave sooner or later, and those who should come are destined to come." ”

When he came to Houshan, Ao Fenggu cleaned up the small wooden house and lived in it, helped the senior sister remove the grass, sorted out the books for the third senior brother, and went to the second senior brother to help beat his door-like sword.

This kind of thing is repeated day after day, and the days seem to have not changed much, but Ao Fenggu can clearly feel that his cultivation is rapidly improving.

The Dragon Clan has the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and the Phoenix Clan has the Kunlun Divine Tree, all of which can absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, and practice in it, often being able to achieve twice the result with half the effort, compared to the so-called gains of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, I don't know where it is higher.

When spring is about to pass, the mountain is full of cherry blossoms, and Lingbo cherry blossoms pluck a cherry blossom petal stained with dew drops and put it in the basket carried by Ao Fenggu.

"Although I will take you to practice, if you have time, you still have to go to the martial arts academy and listen to the lectures of the instructors, swordsmanship, alchemy, body refining, and even runes, you can dabble in it. Ling Bo Ying said, "Don't do it behind closed doors, it's better to be more open and open-minded." ”

Ao Fenggu smiled, "Senior sister, what you said is no worse than those teachers. ”

Ling Bo Ying shook his head, "Don't shoot the fart, I'm not a teacher, how can I be proficient in everything?" Speaking of this, you also have to prepare for it, the martial arts list is about to open, you have to stabilize the first position, don't embarrass the teacher and the martial arts academy." ”

Ao Fenggu's eyes widened, "I'm number one, isn't the martial branch list not open yet, how can I be number one?"

Ling Bo Ying frowned, obviously a little displeased with Ao Fenggu's fuss, "Teacher's disciple, shouldn't it be the number one on the martial branch list?" As she spoke, she took out an embroidered handkerchief tattooed with koi fish from her arms, and with a slight touch of her fingertips on the embroidered handkerchief, the koi fish in the embroidery suddenly came to life, jumped out of the embroidered handkerchief, and flew around her fingertips.

"Go. Ling Bo Sakura said softly.

The koi flew up to Ao Fenggu, bit his finger, took a drop of blood in his mouth, and flew west.

"This drop of blood will be sent to Kunlun Mountain and dripped on the Kunlun Divine Tree, and when the time comes, the Wuzhi List will be opened, and your name will also be on the list of the Kunlun Divine Tree, and it must be the first. Ling Bo Sakura said.

Ao Fenggu was full of doubts, thinking that the list of martial arts branches of the Kunlun Divine Tree, not to mention the ranking according to personal strength, even if someone could manipulate the list, it could only be a person from the Phoenix clan, and it would not be your turn to be Senior Sister.

As if seeing Ao Fenggu's thoughts, Ling Bo Ying smiled indifferently, "The Martial Branch List is indeed divided according to strength and realm, but when the teacher went to the Holy Academy, the former Dean of the Holy Academy promised him one thing, that is, every time the Martial Branch List is opened, the first place will be reserved for the Martial Academy." ”

She paused, and then said, "And Wuzhibang will have a month of adjustment time, and in this month, whoever is not satisfied can challenge the person in front of him." ”

Ao Fenggu suddenly frowned.

He is still only in the realm of the middle stage of the Eight Stars, once he ranks first on the Wuzhi List, presumably many strong people will not be convinced, and those who come to challenge at that time may have to break through the threshold.

"This is a rare opportunity, and only in the fight can you improve the fastest. Ling Bo Sakura said comfortingly.

The muscles at the corners of Ao Fenggu's mouth couldn't help twitching, and suddenly his body moved, snatching his drop of blood.

Ling Bo Ying was stunned: "Good boy, if I don't pay attention, you dare to snatch something from me." ”

"Senior sister, I won't choose the Kunlun Divine Tree, I'm the one on the Bodhi Ancient Wood List. "Ao Fenggu is very solemn.

"Okay!"

Ling Bo Sakura didn't say much, no longer looked at Ao Fenggu, she walked forward slowly, plucking a piece of cherry blossom from time to time and putting it in the basket.

When she came to the end of the trail, the basket was already full of cherry blossom petals, and she looked at the broken branches in front of her, and suddenly said, "Do you want to drink? ”

Ao Fenggu was slightly stunned.

Ling Bo Ying's voice sounded directly in Ao Fenggu's mind, "There are guests here, do you want to go for a while?"

At nightfall, the night sky obscured by dark clouds has no stars and no moon.

Ao Fenggu came out of the second senior brother's blacksmith room, returned to the small cabin on the east side of the pond, lit the oil lamp, washed briefly, and went to bed.

The lamp flickered twice, and a faint white smoke drifted out, Ao Fenggu yawned, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the wee hours of the morning, a dark shadow descended from the sky, and the black robe was opened, turning into a huge black curtain that enveloped the entire wooden house.

Four black snakes quietly burrowed into the house, climbed onto the bed, and slowly wrapped around Ao Fenggu's limbs.

The old man with his back on his back appeared at the head of Ao Fenggu's bed out of thin air, sniffed, and said to himself, "I actually drank so much wine and wasted my benzoin." But it's also cheaper for you, and you can die without pain. ”

The old man slowly took out a bone knife from his sleeve, placed it on Ao Fenggu's neck, and cut it gently.

The flesh and skin were torn open, revealing the white trachea that had been cut, and a large amount of blood gushed out, Ao Fenggu's body twitched violently, but his limbs were entangled by the black snake, and he couldn't break free at all.

Soon, his chest stopped heaving, his heartbeat was gone, and he couldn't breathe.

The old man cut off his spine with a bone knife, cut off Ao Fenggu's entire head, put it in a wooden box, and muttered, "In this way, you can go back to the errand." ”

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found a person standing at the door, his heart shook violently, and he retreated sharply, but unexpectedly, a giant snake suddenly appeared and entwined his whole body.

There was a hissing sound from the old man's mouth, and four black vipers immediately crawled over and rushed towards the giant serpent, but the next moment, a snake's head came in through the window, and the four black snakes trembled in horror like mice seeing cats.
