Chapter 68: Taking a Hostage

"Are you really planning to fight him?" Di Qingling said puzzled.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiao Zheng glanced at her and asked rhetorically.

"Don't think that if you defeat the Kusanagi Dragon, you will be able to defeat the Di Qinglong!" Di Qingling raised his eyebrows, with a look of contempt, and said, "His cultivation is higher than yours, and his martial soul is also stronger than yours, and he is not only a little taller, if you duel with him, you will only die!"

"Three days is enough for me. Xiao Zheng said with a lot of anger. If it weren't for the fact that his body was extremely ordinary, I am afraid it would not take three days.

"Is it worth it?" Di Qingling asked again.

"Yes, Di Qinglong's two brothers are not only my friends in the same village, but they have also saved my life twice. Xiao Zheng said.

"No wonder that's the case!" Di Qingling sighed softly.

Straightening up, Xiao Zheng slowly stood up and said to the shopkeeper: "Checkout!"

The shopkeeper happily ran over and reported a number.

Xiao Zheng patted the storage bag, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed a bag containing 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Zheng took out one and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes are straight, a high-grade spirit stone, and the purchasing power is amazing.

Fortunately, this is the No. 1 inn of Xuanyun Sect, and there is a lot of spare money, so I can barely find it.

After receiving the top-grade spirit stone from Xiao Zheng's hand, the shopkeeper returned to the counter, and after some hard work with the shopkeeper, he finally made up the number, and then led a money bag and trotted all the way.

After taking the money bag from the shopkeeper, Xiao Zheng put it into the big money bag containing the high-grade spirit stone, and was about to put it into the storage bag, when Di Qingling suddenly spoke: "Can you keep a little?"

This big money bag was the compensation that Di Qingling had prepared to give to Kusanagi Long, and later fell into Xiao Zheng's hands.

"This is what I deserve!" Xiao Zheng said confidently.

"However, this is also almost all of our living expenses in the next few years, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Di Qingling said with a sad look on his face.

"You guys figure it out for yourselves!" Xiao Zheng said unmoved. As he spoke, he continued to walk outside the inn door.

Di Qingling and Di Qing glanced at each other, and both followed.

After leaving the inn, Xiao Zheng decided to find a secret place to concentrate on cultivation, and at the same time, in order to avoid being chased and killed by the three Qiang brothers.

I also thought about following the instructions on the map to find the meteorite from the sky and further explore the fragments of the Celestial Sword, but just think about it, because there may not be fragments of the Celestial Knife in the meteorite.

Of course, he also thought about buying a coffin and going west of Canghai to bury Gu Nan. But I feel that this should be left to Di Qingling, after all, Di Qingling is Gu Nan's third brother.

The current Xiao Zheng didn't want to be too wronged by himself, after all, he had 10,000 high-grade spirit stones in his hands, and even if he squandered it, he could last for a long time.

On this small island, there are many streets and alleys, so Xiao Zheng walked along these streets and alleys for a while, and by the way, he became familiar with the surrounding environment.

Finally, we came to an alley on the west coast of the island.

The duel site he chose, Huangquan Waterfall, was on the west shore of the island, facing the boulder on the east shore of the Canghai Sea.

During this period, Xiao Zheng bought some incense and candles, etc., planning to worship his dead brother at the right time.

After going around in a big circle, he finally returned to the No. 1 Inn of Xuanyun Sect.

At this time, the inn already had several guests, including two storytellers, an old man and a young storyteller.

As soon as Xiao Zheng stepped into the door of the inn, the old storyteller hit the castanets and started a storytelling performance, starting with an opening sentence as usual: "In this world, everyone has an unusual experience, everyone has a road to the unknown future, bumpy and rugged, different, but not good people have a good road, the next part happened recently and is around us." ”

The guests in the inn were also engrossed in listening to the old man's serious talk.

"It is said that there is a genius beginner disciple in the Xuanyun Sect, and his background can be called confusing. ......。 He was born in a poor family, and it is a long broken ancient martial arts family, three brothers, the third in line, at the request of his father, he has practiced ancient martial arts since he was a child, but later, this doll was taken away and became the adopted son of a large clan, and he did not disappoint when he grew up, relying on his own strength to successfully worship the Xuanyun Sect, and was selected as one of the top ten genius disciples of the Xuanyun Sect, but what happened later made people sigh!"

The old storyteller paused, and then continued: "As mentioned earlier, this young talent has three brothers in his family, and he is the third. The twist of the story happened to his two brothers. ”

Since he heard about his brother's whereabouts, his two brothers have visited him many times, but in the end, what they are waiting for is the cold eyes of their brothers. The two brothers had no choice but to say goodbye!"

"But on the day of farewell, the two brothers offended a few people they couldn't afford to offend, and as a result, they suffered miserably, and there was not even a person to collect the body, and as a result, one of them died on a boulder on the west coast of the Canghai Continent, sitting facing the sea, and died without blinking their eyes, it is said that it was to wait for the day when their brothers changed their minds!"

The old man sighed regretfully when he said this. The nearby guests also sighed.

Xiao Zheng, who had just come in, was also upset when he heard this, and his face was sad. I thought that the story would end like this, but I didn't expect that the old man suddenly took a big turn and brought everyone's hearts into it.

"What happened next can be described as strange and bizarre! The turning point of the story happened to the brother who died at the end!" the old man said this, paused, and then continued, "This brother can be said to have died a very miserable death, he was burned to death by fire, and a large hole was melted through his chest. ”

Speaking of this, the old man narrated: "If you are injured in this case, it is not difficult to imagine that the result is not difficult to predict, except for death, it is still death." But things in this world are sometimes unexpected!"

The old man paused again when he said this.

The guests in the inn all had a strong sense of expectation, and they all cast their eyes over,

Some guests couldn't help but be curious and urged repeatedly.

The old man smiled apologetically, and finally started again: "The turning point of the story happened at this moment! Everyone here, even the people of the entire Canghai Continent, I'm afraid no one dares to imagine that this brother who was tragically burned by the flames, in that huge wound on his back, actually hides something that makes people in the world crazy!"

"What is it?" The guests of the inn were all extremely curious, and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Zheng also focused his entire attention on the old man.

The old man looked mysterious, smiled and said nothing.

"Could it be a fragment of the Dome Chopping Knife??" the guest guessed curiously.

"Haha, the old man has never seen the fragment of the Dome Slasher, and I don't know what it looks like. The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and then said, "However, what is certain is that this thing is like a mass of true qi, a mass of true qi that is constantly running......!

"How's it going?" both eyes focused nervously on the old man's face.

The old man smiled, slowed down his tone, and said very mysteriously: "He's alive!"

"What, alive? What about others? What causes a dying person to come back to life? What did you just say about that mass of true qi?"

"Senior, don't make up stories to whet our appetite!"

......

When the old man heard this, he smiled indifferently and said: "The person is indeed alive, and the old man has seen it with his own eyes, as for the true qi in his wound, let you guess for yourself~"

"What about others, we have to see it with our own eyes to believe it!" the guest asked.

When the old man said this, he packed up with his assistant, walked to the door of the lobby, and passed by Xiao Zheng and the others.

"Old man, don't forget to leave until the story is finished!" a big man suddenly pulled out a knife and rushed towards the two old men.

Seeing this, the old man's face changed: "You...... What do you want to do?"

At this moment, Xiao Zheng was sitting next to a pillar with his back to the aisle, and when the big man drew his knife and rushed over, he stretched out a leg backwards and tripped him directly to eat.

The big man was furious, got up and stabbed Xiao Zheng in the back.

Xiao Zheng took advantage of the situation, and with a dodge, he defused a rapid attack of the big man, and at the same time grabbed the opponent's neck and pressed him down on the table.

"You...... Who are you who dare to go against the brother-in-law of Xuanyun Sect's sixth 'Ten Genius Initiation Disciples'?" the big man threatened.

"What, the three Qiang brothers are your brothers-in-law?" Xiao Zheng said in surprise.

"Of course! When my cousin reaches the age of fourteen, she will officially marry into the Qiang clan!" said Dahan proudly.

"In this way, the three brothers will definitely be angry for you?" Xiao Zheng said.

"Of course, the acquaintance will let me go immediately, or you will die an ugly death!" the big man threatened.

When Xiao Zheng heard this, he sneered and said, "This is no better, take one as a hostage, so as not to worry about it in the future!"
