Chapter 226: Injuries and Black Mist Weirdness (4,000 words)
Li Qiu planned to tell Ouyang Xuan about the fact that he was attacked and killed again by Yang Shi's father and son.
He is Ouyang Xuan's hope of avenging his wife and children in the future, even if Ouyang Xuan does not do it for himself, he will definitely not let go of Yang Shi's father and son, and it is very likely that he will ask the martial saint who owes him a favor to take action.
But even if Ouyang Xuan asked the martial saint who owed him a favor to make a move, things might not go the way he hoped.
First of all, Yang Shi's identity as the commander of the Fuzhou Heavenly Division, only the martial saint can kill him, and the imperial court may not insist on pursuing it to the end.
But if the court does not pursue it to the end, it does not mean that the martial saint will not pay the price.
The imperial court is afraid of the martial saint, which does not mean that it is afraid of the martial saint.
With the power of the imperial court, it is not that the martial saint cannot be killed, but once it is allowed to escape, the unscrupulous crazy revenge, the imperial court will pay an extremely heavy price.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the imperial court will not tear the skin of a martial saint and force him into a desperate situation.
And killing a commander of the Heavenly Division is not yet a last resort.
The imperial court will not want to kill the Martial Saint because of this, but the Martial Saint will also have to pay a certain price!
And this price can't be too light, because the court also needs to be face-saving.
A second-rank official who holds a lot of power will kill him if he says that he will kill him, and the perpetrator has not paid any price, which will make people feel that the court is afraid of martial saints, weak and bullied, so where to put the face of the court.
According to Li Qiu's plan, after he achieved the Martial Saint to kill Yang Shi's father and son to avenge his death, he would discuss with the imperial court and enter the Heaven Survey Division to become a first-class Heaven Surveyor.
Taking the initiative to enter the Sky Survey Division and being forced to join the Sky Survey Division are two different things from taking the initiative to join the army and being forced to join the trap camp as a death row prisoner.
A martial saint standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, forced to become a celestial surveyor of almost the same nature as a dead soldier on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but serve the imperial court.
This price should be able to satisfy the imperial court, block the mouth of Youyou, and save the face of the imperial court.
He becomes a first-class surveyor, and he has nothing to lose, the best of both worlds.
As for whether he would not be able to achieve a Martial Saint, Li Qiu never considered it.
The only thing that may be problematic is whether he will achieve the Martial Saint this year or later next year.
Li Qiu has a great enmity with Yang Shi's father and son, he can kill it regardless of Yang Shi's identity, and the price he pays for it is nothing to him.
But if you change to the martial saint who owes Ouyang Xuan a favor, it may be different.
There are big and small favors, Ouyang Xuan just created a peerless divine weapon for that martial saint for free, and this favor is not very big.
That martial saint may not be willing to pay such a big price to kill Yang Shi and his son because of this favor, it is likely that he just warned Yang Shi and his son.
Whether this warning can deter Yang Shi's father and son is still unknown.
Li Qiu entered Ouyang Xuan's mansion, saw Ouyang Xuan, and told him about it.
Ouyang Xuan was furious when he heard this, and told Li Qiu that he would immediately send a letter to ask the martial saint who owed him a favor to take action, telling him to be more careful during this time.
Li Qiu nodded in response, and after leaving Ouyang Xuan's mansion, he immediately left Fuzhou City, preparing to kill the monster to improve his strength.
In his current situation, it is not safe to stay in Fuzhou City.
Although it was not easy for Yang Shi to do it directly when he stayed in the Heaven Survey Division, it was still easy to find an excuse to arrest him and bring him to the Heaven Survey Division and let him cooperate with the investigation.
When he arrived at the Heavenly Division, his life was almost in the palm of Yang Shi's thoughts.
At noon, dozens of miles away from Fuzhou City.
Tea stalls on the side of the road.
Li Qiu looked at the dozens of strange locations marked on the map, his brows furrowed slightly.
Even if that Martial Saint was willing to repay the spring and kill Yang Shi's father and son at Ouyang Xuan's request at any cost, this matter would take time.
It will take time for the letter asking for help to arrive, and it will take time for the Martial Saint to arrive.
During this time, he was still dangerous, if not more dangerous.
Yang Shi may be forced to jump over the wall and personally hunt him down.
During this time, he needs to at least gain the strength to be able to protect himself under Yang Shi's hands.
In the end, after some selection, Li Qiu chose a weird one with the strength of the early stage of the coagulation period.
There is no description on the map of this monstrous ability, which can be weak or strong and dangerous.
But at this time, I can't care so much.
What's more, no matter how bad it is, he still has a blood-burning secret method.
A forest in the south of Governor Xie Jingcheng, that weird one is in that place.
This was specially chosen by him, because the Black Tiger Gate was also in Jiezhou, and after Li Qiu decided to kill the weird, he went to the Black Tiger Gate to seize the follow-up exercises of the Black Tiger Classic.
A dime of broken silver was thrown on the table, and Li Qiu rode on the road to Jiezhou.
Fuzhou City, Yang Mansion.
Yang Shi's study.
Yang Shi was wearing a brocade robe, not angry and arrogant, and was correcting official documents at the desk.
A sound of footsteps came in a hurry, and Yang Jun looked slightly anxious and walked into the study.
"Father, something happened!"
"What?"
Yang Shi frowned slightly, put down the red pen in his hand without hurry, and asked.
"The Sky Surveyor I found to test Li Qiu's knife is dead!"
Yang Shi frowned.
"Dead? How did you die?"
"Li Qiu's report to the Heaven Survey Division said that Xu Gang was accidentally killed by the monster for a while, but I suspect that he killed Xu Gang!"
Yang Jun said with a gloomy face.
And after he returned to Fuzhou City, he immediately went to meet Ouyang Xuan, and then left the city and headed west. ”
The eyeliner of the Heavenly Division is all over Fuzhou City.
Yang Shi's expression became a little serious.
He originally agreed to Yang Jun's proposal, but he didn't have much hope.
After all, the treasures that create peerless divine weapons are hard to find, and those who have the potential to achieve martial saints are rare.
How could it be so coincidental, Li Qiu had the potential to become a martial saint, and he had obtained the precious materials that could be cast into peerless divine weapons.
But now it seems that there really is something wrong with it.
Yang Shi's heart suddenly became hot.
If he is really a peerless divine soldier, he can use this to get a martial saint as a backer!
Although his heart was hot, Yang Shi did not show it on the surface.
He said with a calm face.
"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe it was really weird to kill Xu Gang, it is normal for Li Qiu to meet Ouyang Xuan, they are already very close, as for going out of the city to the west, it is not necessarily that he knows something. ”
"However, if it was really Li Qiu who killed Xu Gang and told Ouyang Xuan that we had sent someone to attack and kill him again, Ouyang Xuan might have already sent a letter to ask the Martial Saint who owed him a favor to take action. ”
When Yang Jun heard this, he looked nervous.
"Father, what are we going to do?"
He almost decided that it was Xu Gang who was killed by Li Qiu, and visiting Ouyang Xuan was to tell him about it.
"Don't panic. Yang Shi waved his hand.
"It takes time for Ouyang Xuan's letter to reach that Martial Saint, and it takes time for that Martial Saint to come all the way, and we have plenty of time. ”
"What's more, even if that martial saint came, with his identity as a father, he may not be a father because of Ouyang Xuan's favor!"
After a pause, Yang Shi continued.
"Lizhou Sushi City is from here, and it is only two days away to travel day and night.
For the father's association, the master of the division to investigate the case, you take them to Sushi City, Lizhou to investigate the matter, and come back to inform me as soon as there is news, and at the same time I will send someone to search for Li Qiu's whereabouts. ”
"If it is confirmed that it was really him who killed Xu Gang, it means that the knife in his hand is really a peerless divine weapon!"
A flash of heat flashed in Yang Shi's eyes, and there was a chilling terrifying killing intent in his words.
"At that time, the father will personally take action, kill people and grab the knife!"
"Yes. Yang Jun's expression was solemn and he answered.
......
Not long after leaving Fuzhou City, Li Qiu felt that riding a horse was a little slow, so he abandoned his horse and ran.
It took him a few days to reach Governor Xie's Jingcheng.
He first inquired in Changjing City about the strange news about the strange one in the mountains and forests south of the city.
Like the weird pig's head last time, the weird one in the woods south of the city has also become a legend in the realm of a hundred miles.
Li Qiu spent some money and inquired about the strange legend.
Legend has it that the strange one, who was a wealthy merchant before his death, went hunting in the mountains and forests south of the city, and his servants were killed by the hunters he hired to lead the way.
Since then, something strange has happened to that mountain forest, and it has been shrouded in fog all year round.
Whoever walked into the forest never came out again.
In the south of Changjing City, in front of the mountains and forests shrouded in fog.
Li Qiu thought back to the legend he had heard, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Strange abilities are generally related to the cause of its death.
Unfortunately, the legend of this strange cause of death is unknown, and he has no eyebrows.
"Forget it if you don't have an eyebrow, about that weird ability, you will know when you go in and see it. ”
Li Qiu's eyes froze, his expression was cold, he carried the gale bow on his back, held the knife in his hand, and walked towards the ghost forest in the eyes of the people within a radius of hundreds of miles.
After walking into the fog-shrouded mountains and forests, it was not as dead and silent as Li Qiu imagined, he could clearly hear the chirping of birds and insects, and even the cries of some fierce beasts, but the fog was so thick that he couldn't dissolve, so that his vision was limited to dozens of steps.
"I don't know if it's because the animals in the mountains and forests can't kill endlessly, or if this weird monster only attacks people. ”
Li Qiu walked cautiously in the mountains and forests, paying attention to the surrounding movements with a vigilant expression.
At this time, behind Li Qiu, a black mist slowly drifted in, and a terrifying figure faintly appeared inside.
The black mist drifted extremely slowly, like a cunning wolf slowly approaching its prey.
Li Qiu looked at the road ahead and listened to all directions, although he keenly paid attention to all movements, he was unaware of the black mist slowly approaching from behind him.
Swish!
When the black mist was almost attached to Li Qiu's body, a miserable white and thin hand suddenly stretched out from the black mist, and its five fingers were black nails like daggers, stabbing out at Li Qiu's back heart!
When the black mist slowly approached Li Qiu, he didn't notice it, but when the black mist attacked, he heard the evil wind behind him and reacted instantly!
Li Qiu quickly dodged with a wrong step!
But unfortunately, despite his quick reaction, he was still a step too slow.
Click!
The sound of clothes being torn apart was heard.
Almost at the same time, Li Qiu snorted, and there were five more bloody claw marks on his back.
A flash of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and slashed out!
Rushing!
The Yetan Knife unleashed a fierce wind, blowing the leaves on all sides.
A fierce and swift knife slashed down, but it was empty.
The black mist was no longer as slow as it had just approached Li Qiu, showing an extremely terrifying speed!
As soon as Li Qiu turned around, it had already flown dozens of steps away!
When the black fog is about to disappear into the mist.
Li Qiu's expression was cold, his eyes were condensed, and he quickly untied the gale bow behind him, and raised the bow to be an arrow!
Shout!
The long arrow pierced through the air with a terrible and sharp sound, echoing through the mountains and forests!
Almost at the same time as the black mist disappeared into the fog, the long arrow hit!
With a violent air current, it pierced through the fog, causing the fog to appear as a large hole in the mouth of a bowl.
The corner of the black mist appeared in the big hole.
Yes!
The sharp and terrible cry resounded through the mountains and forests!
Li Qiu narrowed his eyes.
He shot the black mist, the figure hidden in the black mist, to be exact!
I just don't know where I shot and what the injuries were.
"The figure hidden in the black fog just now should be the weird one. ”
Just as he was thinking about it, a hot and sharp pain came from his back, and Li Qiu frowned.
He could feel the injuries on his back, even faintly to the bones.
But it's better than being pierced through the heart by a strange claw hidden in that black mist.
Fortunately, the monster didn't know his strength, and he didn't use all his strength as soon as he came up, attaching the black flame to his claws.
Otherwise, his injuries will be even more serious at this time!
However, the arrow he shot just now was also very hasty, and he didn't have time to attach the blood flame, otherwise the injury of that strange one would be even more serious.
After a while, the five hideous wounds on Li Qiu's back stopped bleeding and had a slight tendency to heal.
Aoki gave him a strong resilience and began to work.
Although the injury will not heal for a while, at least there will be no more blood loss.
Li Qiu remembered the strange one hiding in the black mist just now, approaching silently.
"Looks like this is the weird ability. ”
Li Qiu guessed that the rich merchant, or one of the servants of the rich merchant, should have been suddenly killed by a sneak attack from behind.
After the man died, he turned into a monster, and only then did he have this ability to quietly get close to the back of the person.
Weirdness doesn't have to be the result of a rich merchant, and it's also possible that the rich merchant's servants were killed.
It's just that people tend to pay more attention to the rich merchants and ignore the servants, and the legends that circulate will say that the weirdness is the result of the rich merchants.
Li Qiu put the knife into the sheath, tied the Yetan knife around his waist, and held the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other.
The blood of both hands rose and swayed, clinging to the bow and arrows.
The speed at which the black mist was strangely displayed just now was far faster than his.
Attacking with a knife, it is difficult to catch up with the opponent, only bows and arrows.
I didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before he had the Gale Bow, and it would come in handy today.
As for the black mist weirdness, if it broke behind him or in front of him, the bow and arrow in his hand would be enough.
Bows and arrows can also be used in close combat, with sharp arrows, hard bow arms, and bowstrings that can directly strangle people.
That weird monster must have never been exposed to any high-level martial arts before his death, and it is very likely that he has not even been exposed to martial arts.
In the face of others, Li Qiu may suffer a lot in melee combat with bows and arrows, but it is enough to face the black mist weirdness that is not skilled in martial arts.
Li Qiu held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and walked in the direction where the black mist had just disappeared.
He didn't know if the black mist had fled after being hit by an arrow from him, or whether he had wandered around waiting for an opportunity to launch another surprise attack on him and take revenge.
