Chapter 12: The Celestial Wolf
"It seems to be a vendetta in the rivers and lakes!" Nangong Yu said.
"It doesn't matter, hang high, let's go!" Baili Zixuan turned around and wanted to continue walking.
"Slow down!" the two were about to continue their journey when a voice came from behind them.
Baili Zixuan and the others stopped when they heard the sound, and turned around to see an old man, this old man, tall and thin, with blazing eyes, black and white beard, about the age of a sixtieth birthday, but he looked energetic, holding a long sword.
"Dare to ask the old man what he commanded?" Bailizi Xuan saw that it was an old man, and said with a slight salute.
Nangong Yu on the side, when he saw the old man, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was gloomy, and his murderous aura rose sharply. Baili Zixuan was very surprised when he saw him like this, could it be that he knew this old man and had a holiday with him.
The old man also saluted: "This young man in black is so murderous! The two on the ground are old decay people, dare to ask the two young heroes, who killed them?"
"We didn't kill it, we just happened to pass by here. Baili Zixuan replied.
"Since the two young heroes happened to pass by, have you ever seen who killed them, if you know, I hope that the young heroes will tell each other, and the old man is grateful!" the old man said again.
Baili Zixuan was about to answer, Nangong Yu preemptively said coldly: "It's enough that we didn't kill the person, the rest of the things have nothing to do with us, if you want to know the truth, check it yourself!"
"This young man is so angry, since people are not killed by the two, they are friends when they go out, why refuse people thousands of miles away, the old man implores the two to tell each other bluntly!" the old man slightly accentuated his voice.
"What if you refuse! It's you who refuse!" Nangong Yu glanced at Baili Zixuan and turned around to leave.
"Since the two of you are unwilling to tell each other directly, then you must ask the two of you to go with the old decay and hand it over to the owner!" the old man's face changed suddenly.
When Nangong Yu saw that the old man wanted to force the two of them to stay, he was immediately furious, and his skills were used all over his body in an instant.
"Haha, it's really young and frivolous, born calves are not afraid of tigers, I know that the two of them are geniuses, and they are both amazing at a young age, but after all, they are still not ready for fire, I advise the two of you not to toast in front of the old man, not to eat and drink, and to embarrass yourself!" The old man waved his sleeve robe, squinting and sneering.
In this way, Baili Zixuan is also a little angry, even if the little beggar is disrespectful, but if it has nothing to do with us, we can tell you if we want to tell you, if we don't want to tell you, you can't force it, what do you mean by leaving us to see you? Baili Zixuan is also a dark luck skill.
At swords' points!
"Stop!" another voice came.
I saw a middle-aged man in a satin-patterned robe with a purple background striding over, this middle-aged man was about forty years old, his figure was neither fat nor thin, his face was white and slightly bearded, his appearance was handsome, his dress was extremely refreshing and clean, and he was quite elegant.
The old man saw the middle-aged man, and said respectfully: "Zhongyuan welcomes the owner of the village, two disciples in the door died here, these two are just here, I asked them, I believe it was not them, but they must know what happened, but although this friend in black does not know each other, he seems to have a deep prejudice against me, and he is unwilling to tell him, so Zhongyuan has to leave them and leave them to the owner!"
"Uncle Yuan, since it wasn't killed by the two young heroes, are you willing to tell each other, this is their freedom, how can you force it!" the middle-aged man said slowly.
"Yes, Zhongyuan is reckless!" said the old man with his hands bowed.
The middle-aged man turned his head and clenched his fists slightly to Baili Zixuan and the others: "This old man is a housekeeper in the next house, he has an impatient temperament, his behavior is reckless, and he has offended a lot, I hope the two young heroes will forgive me!"
Baili Zixuan just said a polite word to the middle-aged man, and found that Nangong Yu saw this middle-aged man, his face was even colder, his eyes were like fire, his lips were locked, his fists were clenched, his skills were rising, and his black hair was gently floating!
Just thinking about it, Nangong Yu grabbed Baili Zixuan and said a word to go, turned around and left!
Watching the owner of the village let the two people go, the old man said hurriedly: "The owner of the village, these two people witnessed the death of the two people, and if they don't interrogate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to track down afterwards!"
The middle-aged man said slightly: "Uncle Yuan, you don't need to find out who killed it, the wolf did it, this technique is his unique skill - the wolf ghost claw." I've fought against him and seen his methods. This time, we rounded him up from Dongjun here, and it must have been two men who discovered his traces and were poisoned by him here. β
"Master Mingjian!" the old man bowed his head and said.
Sky wolf, formerly known as Mu Wutian, a native of Dongjun, was tyrannical by nature, and when he was young, he harmed the township, and did many things to steal and rob people, but his father dissuaded him and killed him with a stick, and he was so cruel that he had no humanity. Later, he had to teach the Xun-level exercises of the wolf ghost claw and the art of retreat, wandering in the eastern part of the Nanhao Empire, robbing the wealth and robbing the color, doing all kinds of evil, regardless of the officials, businessmen and civilians, never left a living mouth, because he was extremely ferocious, and the exercises he practiced with the word wolf, people called him the wolf, which means that he is a beast as fierce as a wolf, and the eastern part of the empire is talking about the "wolf" color change, and the children of a few years old are making a fuss, saying that the wolf is coming, then immediately stop crying. The imperial court vigorously seized and posted a bounty, but the wolf was very cunning and good at concealment, and for many years, he still committed crimes everywhere, but he could not be captured.
The middle-aged man watched Baili Zixuan and the two gradually disappear at the end of the alley, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of Luolong City, it is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, these two people are so old, they have cultivated a fine body for a period of yuan, and it is rare to see the Nanhao Empire in a hundred years, I don't know who it is, it is really a talent in the Jiangshan Dynasty! β
"Zhuang Master, Zhongyuan is also very surprised, this young man in black has a strong hostility towards me as soon as he comes up. The old man also said suspiciously.
"I don't know why, although this young man in black is full of murderous anger towards me, I have a strange feeling about him, and I can't tell what this feeling is. Uncle Yuan, go down, everyone in the door is in good spirits, be careful step by step, if you find the traces of the wolf, don't act alone, tell in time. This time, from Dongjun to this point, the labor division mobilized the people, and they must catch the wolf, and they can't let this beast be evil again!"
"Yes!" the old man said.
"Slow, give the order, this time to round up the wolf and make great contributions, you can pass on a type of continuous life sword technique, reward nine alchemy pills, do not report it, and those who cause heavy losses due to unauthorized actions will be expelled from Tinghu Villa!"
"The owner is wise!" the old man turned and took the order.
Baili Zixuan was dragged out of the city by Nangong Yu, along the way Nangong Yu looked strange, without saying a word, when he walked to the wilderness south of Luolong City, Baili Zixuan couldn't help but ask: "Little beggar, do you know that wave of people just now?
Nangong Yu paused slightly, looked up at the sky and said: "That middle-aged man is Nangong Zhengde, that old man is the housekeeper who gave my mother a bag of silver to drive my mother out of Dongjun that day, although I was very young at that time, many things were not clear, but I was somewhat clear in my ignorance, the faces of these two people have always been deeply rooted in my mind, although more than ten years have passed, I recognize that appearance at a glance." β
"Kill back and settle accounts with them!" A karmic fire rose in Baili Zixuan's heart.
"Xuanzi, in the face of people whose strength is more than we don't know how many times, you are not afraid, you are willing to stand up for me, the little beggar wrote it down, but now is not the time, one day, I will use my strength to ask for an explanation for my mother. Nangong Yu said word by word.
Of course, Baili Zixuan saw that the other party's strength was a hundred times higher than theirs, but for the sake of the little beggar, he dared to show his sword and step forward.
Baili Zixuan exhaled softly and said, "Go home!" The two rushed back to the beggar's cave overnight......
The time to come out is not short, the next day, Baili Zixuan wants to return to Foye Town, Nangong Yu sent him to the north of Tongtian Peak, and he proposed to worship the big beggar.
On a high ground in the east of the north of Tongtian Peak, there is a simple earthen bag tomb, and there is a long strip of ashlar stone inserted vertically in front of the tomb, which is engraved with the words "The tomb of the big beggar, the little beggar stands".
Baili Zixuan bowed respectfully and said, "My brother is sleeping here, and my younger brother will come to see you in the future!"
There were still more than five hundred taels of silver tickets left on his body, Baili Zixuan took out four hundred taels, handed them to Nangong Yu and said: "Little beggar, you stay here, you are tired of cultivation, go to the city to eat wine and meat, I have one hundred taels enough to go back to Foye Town." β
Nangong Yu didn't shirk it, and said: "It's enough for me to drink good wine for a few years, when will you come back, you haven't tasted the game in the mountains yet." β
"Hehe, I'm sure I'll run over if it's okay, the treasure land that I finally found, I'm still counting on improving my vitality, and I'm definitely going to lag behind you in my cultivation at home! My home is in Foye Town, under Heyang City, which belongs to Jiangzuo County, you go out of Yungen Mountain, go all the way west, and you will arrive at the Qinglan River, and the Baili Mansion in the northwest corner of the town is my home, you can come to me at any time. Baili Zixuan pointed westward.
Nangong Yu turned his back on his face, a little sad, in this world, his mother and brother are gone, and only the friend in front of him is left.
Bailizi Xuanzheng was about to go on the road, Nangong Yu suddenly turned around and took out a jade card, and said: "Xuanzi, my brother is actually not from Luolong City, he remembers that he seemed to have been abducted here from other places when he was a child, but he was too young at that time, where was his home, what his name was, I don't remember at all, a few years after being abducted here, the person who abducted him also died, and later became a beggar here." This jade plate is the brother was abducted before the body of the body, when I was a child, my brother wanted to get me a few cotton clothes to keep out the cold, to give this jade card, because it looks very good, I disagreed, just said that I like this jade card, in fact, I think this jade card must be related to my brother's life experience, and when I grow up, maybe with this jade card as a clue, I can find my brother's relatives, now although my brother is gone, I also want to find his relatives, tell him in front of his grave, my brother does not know who he is before his death, and I will let him understand it after deathγ This jade plate is also engraved with the three words Baili Xin, you are also surnamed Baili, and you are a big family, you know a lot of people, go back and help me inquire about the origin of this jade card. β
Hearing the words "Baili Xin", Baili Zixuan took the jade plate from Nangong Yu's hand and looked at it, as if he had been struck by lightning!
