Chapter 42: Red Rose

Facing the cold north wind, Xiao Junqi just disappeared into this alley with infinite indifference, I don't know if the little beggar heard what he said, but it doesn't matter, Xiao Junqi's heart began to appear in his own shadow, those lingering hazes in the past......

I don't know if it's because it's too cold, or if it's because people's hearts are too cold. Xiao Junqi tightened the cloak wrapped around her body, and walked towards a small alley that no one cared about, this is a dead end, Xiao Junqi walked towards the wall at the end of the alley step by step, one step, two steps, three steps Xiao Junqi just blended into the wall step by step!

The scenery in front of him changed, the spacious patio, the suddenly open rockery garden, there was no slightest cold, Xiao Junqi took off his cloak and threw it towards an empty corner, the space in the corner of the wall was distorted, and a pair of hands with metal gloves firmly caught Xiao Junqi's cloak.

"Red Qiang, you really found me!" A short and fat man with an ugly face, a clearly recognizable scum in the middle of his forehead, and less than four feet tall, slowly appeared from the air. His name is Liu Sihan, and he is a strange thing in the Cutting Moon Building, and the Cutting Moon Building has always pursued a fatal blow, only he will beat the target into meat sauce with his fist every time, and even his peers in the Cutting Moon Building are disgusting to his hobby......

"Don't make such boring jokes again, or the next time you'll be greeted by my Izumo sword!" Xiao Junqi's words revealed a heartfelt disgust, and he walked towards the front hall without looking back.

"What are you dragging on, wait until you fall into my hands one day!Hmph, look at my uncle, I won't kill you!" the short and fat man muttered to himself. At this moment, a short sword without a trace of superfluous decoration came straight to his throat, Liu Sihan couldn't help but feel a big death, Red Qiang is a legendary existence among the killers of their generation, he once tried to provoke Red Qiang, it was when Red Qiang had just become famous, and the final result was the eye-catching word "scum" on his forehead, which was a shameful brand for him! At this moment, the short sword that appeared repeatedly in the nightmare returned to him, and he didn't have time to think about it! He pounced on a vicious dog very simply, and threw his short and fat body into a ball into the lake, and Red Rose was more disgusted, and when he saw that the purpose of the lesson had been achieved, he did not care about himself, and withdrew the Izumo sword with his backhand.

The icy lake water made Liu Sihan's originally restless mood completely cold, how could this crazy woman be so powerful in such a short period of time! In the moment of life and death just now, he obviously felt that Hongqiang was killing him, if she hadn't stopped at the last moment, he would have really become a cold corpse now, just now, in a short moment, Liu Sihan felt that all the strength of his body had been used up, and his whole body had reached the verge of collapse. Swimming ashore with difficulty, the embankment by the lake was a bit difficult for Liu Sihan, who was short, fat and prostrate......

This feeling of crawling on the ground reminded him of the feeling that Hongqiang carved on his forehead that day, the cold blade pierced his skin, and he watched the red blood drip from his forehead drop by drop, but he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would be cut off by the short sword that he would cut off his head with a sword in front of everyone's eyes, the shame and fear of life in the hands of others in front of everyone's eyes, made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, Hongqiang finally didn't kill him, but for him he would rather die under her sword that day. The imprint on his forehead has become his inner demon, and every time he breaks through in cultivation, he can't help but want to challenge Red Qiang, and today is the fourth time.

Hongqiang, who walked to the front hall, didn't care about Liu Sihan's affairs at all, and stayed away from him out of disgust for him, but he repeatedly provoked, so the young and vigorous Hongqiang took out a tattoo of the word "scum" on his forehead, which was a slight punishment. Unexpectedly, this person is like a piece of dog skin plaster, every time there is a breakthrough, he has to provoke him, Hongqiang hates it many times and wants to kill him, but because of the rules of the Moon Cutting Building, he is always tolerant of him, and today Hongqiang heard him speak disrespectfully, of course, he had to teach him a lesson!

"Red Rose, this trip to the Northern Frontier has done a good job!" a man in a black iron mask was sitting in the antechamber, seemingly waiting for Red Rose.

"This is what you want" Red Qiang ripped a pale yellow storage bag from her waist and placed it in front of the man.

"Don't worry, someone will naturally deal with the aftermath later. This time, you have completed such a leapfrog assassination, according to the rules, you have the right to choose your own tasks!

"Master Zhang, I want to go out and travel. I'll be back in three months. I don't want to take on any new tasks during this time!" there was a hint of confusion in Red Rose's eyes.

"You deserve it!"

"In addition, let that Liu Sihan stay away from me, otherwise I will castrate him next time!" Hongqiang's face showed a trace of impatience, such a person is indeed a little unpleasant.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult......

"Difficult?"

"Yes, as far as I know, he ...... It's a heavenly eunuch!" Zhang Duo seemed to be in a good mood, and actually made a joke to Red Qiang, but the joke seemed to be really cold......

Hongqiang looked at Zhang Duo in front of her speechlessly, what's the matter, when did the killer of the Moon Slashing Tower start joking? However, looking at Liu Sihan's appearance, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is really a bit of a fact! Hongqiang turned around and left, not dwelling on this disgusting question. This is a stronghold of the Moon Cutting Tower in Zhongzhou, and Hongqiang handed over the task, changed her clothes, and disappeared into the crowd.

A month later, someone outside the mountain gate of the Phantom God Palace sent a burden. A note was written on it, and Tao Haoyu was asked to sign for it by name! Tao Haoyu was the child who was adopted by the Phantom God Palace back then, and although he has been trapped in his heart for decades, he has still reached the peak of foundation building. Today, someone actually sent a package to himself. With a hint of doubt, Tao Haoyu slowly returned to his cave with the package, the burden was not big, and he didn't know what was inside. Just in case, Tao Haoyu put the burden on the square outside the cave. Gently remove the burden with an infrequently used magic sword! A hideous-looking human head appeared in front of Tao Haoyu! Tears slowly flowed from Tao Haoyu's eyes, after so many years, this culprit of the year finally appeared!

"Ah!!!" Tao Haoyu grabbed the human head in his hand fiercely, and slammed it on the ground between his palms. The hatred that had been suppressed in his chest was finally gone today, and a majestic momentum suddenly emerged from Tao Haoyu's body, and he broke through!

In the council hall of the Phantom God Palace, Fan Chengzhou looked at the majestic celestial phenomenon outside. I am also happy for my disciple, for so many years, he has always been trapped at the peak of foundation building and can't get married, and today he has finally succeeded!

"Come on, take my token and go to the sect's secret vault to ask for a soul release talisman! ”

Iron Gun Gate, Ask Heart Cliff.

Lin Xi had come to this sixtieth stone step for the first time, and he didn't remember it. At first, he couldn't break through. Now, when he reached the sixth layer of Qi refining, this illusion could no longer hinder him, but he stayed here for half a month......

Lin Xi has never had the shadow of his parents in his impression, and this illusion is the only glimpse left by his parents in this world.

"Take your children with you! Never go back to the Central Plains! Take your children to the ends of the earth and run for your life。。。。。。 ”

"Xi'er, live well!!Never cultivate immortal !! again"

Lin Xi's eyes moistened again, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Mother. I'm still on this path, and I have to be on this road. Without strength, I can only survive in a place like Huangsha Town, like a stray wild dog, to be bullied. One day, I will take your sword and your hatred and give them back everything we have suffered in its entirety!

The illusion around him shattered, and Lin Xi finally broke out of the mirror. At this moment, Lin Xi no longer hesitated in his heart, and everything seemed to be back to the day when he had just come to Wenxinya. Lin Xi's sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and on the spacious stone steps, Lin Xi slowly began to practice the "Easy Break" given by his master.

"Easy Break" is a set of body forging techniques derived from the Spirit Crane View, and at the level of the Qi refining period, "Easy Break" does have its unique place. The eighty-five stone steps of the Questioning Heart Rim were already close to Lin Xi's limit, and at this moment, Lin Xi felt that every move he made needed to pay several times the effort, his physical strength was rapidly consuming, and his mana was running rapidly in his body. What Lin Xi didn't know was that, in fact, only a limited number of people had discovered a secret. Every time you completely consume your mana and then restore your mana, the effect of increasing mana in such a cycle is even better than the effect of overnight penance.

Tonight, the moon is in the sky. Lin Xi's mana and physical strength were all consumed, and Lin Xi habitually retreated a few stone steps to a place where his physical body could be relatively relaxed. began to slowly meditate to recover his physical strength, the moonlight slowly wrapped around Lin Xi's body like water, and the broken bronze disc slowly appeared above Lin Xi's body. When Lin Xi didn't notice, a white mist shadow slowly appeared in the broken sword under his heart.

"So you've been here all along, but I haven't found out?" the old man's voice was full of sadness. The peerless beauty who was overwhelmed by force back then was quietly trapped in this broken canopy. Of course he knew what this was, he had stood at the pinnacle of this world, and this broken canopy had been played with in his hands, but he didn't expect that the person he had been waiting for a thousand years would be the same as himself, silently waiting for himself for a thousand years in a dark world. It's a pity that the mana of his own body has been wasted, and there is no longer the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, the old man silently looked at the broken canopy that kept rotating in the moonlight in front of him.

"So you've been there all along, but I didn't see you!Will you blame me?" The old man's hand slowly stretched out, and the broken lid made a buzzing sound, but the already broken body really couldn't support more movement.

"I know you're here, can this thing be refined? It's okay, I've been waiting for a thousand years, and I don't care about waiting for a few more decades!".

There seemed to be something really sealed in this canopy, and when he heard the old man's words, he slowly regained his calm. The old man sat down quietly on this Qianxin cliff, just stupidly watching the broken canopy floating in the power of the moonlight, Lin Xi, who knew nothing, practiced silently, it seemed that the power of the moonlight tonight was extraordinarily rich, and his mind was completely immersed in the cultivation. The whole Tianyu Mountain, shrouded in night, the insects on the mountain, and the frogs on the shore of Luoyu Lake echo each other, as if you have always been there, although I have not noticed......

Xu Anxin silently carried his medicine bag, identified his direction, and slowly drove an old horse towards the north, half a month has passed since he came out of Tianyahai Pavilion. The trip after taking the boat ashore is up to you, but for Xu Anxin, there are enough books. At the end of the world, I have a book of poetry that is enough, and everything is not important in the life of a bookworm as long as there are books.

This is already the boundary of Lingzhou, and the weather is gradually getting colder. Fortunately, Xu Anxin has a ninth-level cultivation of qi refining, and he is not afraid of cold and heat. It's just that the old horse under the crotch is getting more and more physically weak, Xu Anxin looked at the dark sky in front of him, this is about to snow. Although he is not afraid of the cold and heat, but he will not be willing to rush in the snowstorm, Xu Anxin took out a few strange-looking herbs from his medicine bag, these things were collected by him along the way, there are many strange things in time, but few are people who can identify strange things.

"Horse, horse, let's give you something good! We'll have to leave quickly when you're done!Otherwise, we'll have to spend the night in this snowstorm tonight!" Xu Anxin said to the old horse while feeding the herbs in his hand. I don't know if the old horse can't stand Xu Anxin's nagging mouth, or if it's really his herbs that have miraculous effects. One person, one horse and one horse hit the road again after a while, and the north wind slowly became tighter.

Nanpu Town, this is the northernmost town in Lingzhou, and then to the north is Zhongzhou, today's damn ghost weather, so that the pedestrians along the way are hated.

"This thief God, can't it be sunny for a few days? How can you go back to Zhongzhou after this snow!"

"Isn't it, it's going to be snowing for days. Alas!"

In the lobby of the small inn, many pedestrians gathered. The busy shopkeeper kept walking around the store, diligently adding hot water to the guests. In this weather, it's a treat to have a bowl of hot tea.

"Little Er, prepare an upper room!" a woman in a black cloak and a gauze hat walked into the only inn in the town.

"Okay, upstairs, please!" Xiao Er agreed heartily, guiding the guests upstairs. This woman is Xiao Junqi who came out of Wuyuan City, every time she completes an assassination, Xiao Junqi will always be inexplicably depressed for a while, no one would have thought that the cold-blooded super killer Hong Qiang would also have such emotions.

"Bring me the best food in your store and bring it to my room, and then boil me bath water!" Xiao Junqi said a little tiredly.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The shopkeeper helped Xiao Junqi close the door and walked out, there was always an inexplicable aura on this woman's body, so he really didn't dare to stay longer.

The north wind outside the window became tighter, and the snowflakes in the sky turned into ice droplets before they landed, and it hurt to hit the face. Xu Anxin didn't even have the strength to curse, he lowered his head and shrunk his neck, and he was only wearing a thin piece of Confucian cedar on his body, he was full of resentment towards his master at the moment, can't he study well in the Tianya Pavilion ? If you have to go to some birthday banquet, just go! Why don't you arrange a cloud boat for me! What is this!

The wind and snow in the sky, a man and a horse trekking alone between this world and the world, Xu Anxin finally put down the book at this moment. If the Void God Monarch could see this scene, he must be very relieved in his heart. I don't know how long it took, Xu Anxin finally arrived in Nanpu Town. Looking at the small inn in front of him, the fire light from the window, Xu Anxin suddenly felt that his stomach was protesting! The Qi training period is the stage of body strengthening, and the demand for food at this stage is naturally increasing, don't look at his current body that looks very emaciated, if it is only practical ordinary meat, I am afraid that Xu Anxin is definitely worthy of the title of wine bag and rice bag.

"Xiao Er, bring me ten catties of sauce beef first!" Xu Anxin handed over his old horse to the little guy who was receiving at the door, and then said to the shopkeeper who was running around indoors.

"That guest officer! There are a lot of people in the small shop today, and there are not so many beef! I think it's good to bring you something else!"

"Then what's the matter! It's really not a problem to travel in this ghost weather!" Xu Anxin drank the hot tea poured by Xiao Er in one gulp, and he was not afraid of scalding to death. motioned for Xiao Er to come another bowl, and in Xiao Er's stunned, he dried three bowls of hot tea in a row before stopping. After a while, Xu Anxin fully performed to everyone in the lobby, what is called a person who cannot be disguised, what is called a real wine bag and rice bag! Thirty steamed buns, five catties of sauce beef, two roast chickens, one roast goose, and a roast leg of mutton, just such a meal entered Xu Anxin's stomach.

The shopkeeper, who was already stunned, looked at Xu Anxin's slightly bulging belly, and was speechless, is this really a human? This is not the legendary demon spirit? Xu Anxin, who was full of wine and food, naturally didn't know that he had been hooked with the demon spirit in the heart of the shopkeeper......
