The middle-aged man looked at Yue Yi's young age, and he asked, "The dead man in the river, did you kill it?" You and the old man. ”

Yueyi shook his head, "No, we almost became corpses too, but we just escaped by luck." Then remembering the missing Shang Rui and Yicheng, she asked, "Is this a village by the river?" What is your name? ”

"It's not a village, it's just me."

I still wanted to ask something, but suddenly thought that I hadn't thanked him for saving my life, so Yue Yi bowed, "Thank you for saving this uncle, Yue Yi is not very grateful!" ”

He waved his hand to indicate that it was not worth mentioning.

"I don't know how the uncle is commensurate?"

"I'm just a lonely and widowed person, I usually do some farm work to support myself, and the surrounding farmland is mine, and the people in the town call me Lao Gao, you can call me Uncle Gao."

He has strong muscles all over his body, he exercises well for a living, and his face is round and ruddy, and he doesn't look like a person who kills heavily. Uncle Gao continued the topic just now, "There are three mountains to the north here, and there is a city called Wolong, and the trade is quite developed; If you take the waterway, it is the nearest column, the famous city of individual tourists, and the number of people passing by is always very large, but it takes a day for the boat to travel. ”

Shang Rui and Yicheng, should I go to Wolong or Liefen to find it?

Yueyi's anxious expression triggered Uncle Gao's inquiry, and Yueyi replied, "I have two companions scattered on the thief ship, I don't know where they are now?" And said the characteristics of Shang Rui and Yicheng, but Uncle Gao shook his head, saying that he had not seen it, and he frowned, and said, "There are many bad lucks." ”

Yueyi jumped up excitedly, and Uncle Gao asked her to slow down and calm down before starting to introduce the situation, "Your partner is a girl and a boy, even if they have certain martial arts to protect themselves, they are still easy to be outnumbered, and if they can't keep it, they will be caught somewhere." In the first case, they did not disembark and followed the boat all the way to the column; In the second scenario, they disembarked, and their captors most likely went to the nearest crowd gathering place, Wolong. ”

His thoughts were the same as Yueyi's, but she only had the strength of one person, facing two directions... Let's ask Yunzhan for help, Yueyi decided.

She said goodbye to Uncle Gao, and Uncle Gao asked strangely, "Aren't you waiting for that friend of yours?" ”

"He's not my friend." Yue Yi regretted listening to his words and quarreled with Shang Rui, now Shang Rui people don't know where they are, and if they mix with Lao Liu, they will be even more sorry for Shang Rui's bitter persuasion, Yue Yi said: "I'm going to go to Liefen to find someone, and there are other friends of mine there, maybe he can help me." ”

probably didn't expect that she didn't need to lead the way by herself, Uncle Gao was a little stunned, "Don't you really need me to be with you?" ”

Yue Yichu thanked him for saving her, but his expression was slightly strange, and Yue Yi asked, "Uh, Uncle Gao, what's wrong with you?" ”

He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have always envied people who know martial arts, girl, you are not very old, you walk the rivers and lakes alone, and you look very powerful." As for me, I'll tell you the truth, I am also a person with some stories, but I want to start over after cutting off the past, and I don't know where the road ahead is, and I want to go with you for a while. ”

Yueyi hesitated, "I have something to do at the moment, and it's a little reluctant to say that I can walk freely..."

Uncle Gao said: "Meeting is fate, but there is also an end to fate, if it comes to that moment, I will not entangle and leave by myself." He was sincere and modest, although he was not a martial artist, but he had a good character, so she said to Lao Gao: "Okay, you can go with me to score points." ”

They made a plan, and Lao Liu, who left first on the other side, also had his own plans. What Yueyi didn't want to know was that she "left" Lao Liu by herself and left here before he came back, but in fact, after Lao Liu sent Yueyi to Uncle Gao, he said goodbye to her early.

Lao Liu has more important things to do.

At that time, there was some smell under the water, but he still felt the smell of his own kind, which was the remnants of demonic power. Shang Rui and Yicheng disappeared not without reason, but because a demon captured them. By the way, Lao Liu is a well-disguised demon.

He was strange that the demon took Shang Rui and Yicheng away but let him go alone, why?

It turns out that the strength of the Demon Realm can be achieved by devouring demon soldiers and demon guards who are weaker than it, in addition to cultivating demonic skills. The weak-level demon soldier will be branded by the regional leader, proving that this little demon is his resource, and the leader of other places will have to see his face when he catches people, and he will not devour the small soldier at will, and the life of the small soldier will be preserved. But not every little demon will become a subordinate of the leader, there are also free demon guards like Lao Liu, who wander everywhere and are the main object of demon devouring. The demon who captured Shang Rui and Yicheng was stronger than Lao Liu in terms of magic power, but he gave up devouring Lao Liu to strengthen his skills, and only captured two humans.

Why is that?

The value of human beings to demons is not as high as the value of the free demon guard, because absorbing the internal power of one human is far less direct and fast than directly absorbing another demon guard who has been cultivating for decades and has already internalized his power into magical power. So the most likely reason why the demon didn't devour Lao Liu was that Shang Rui and Yicheng were worth more than him, but what were the two ordinary people capable of?

Lao Liu couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to find out. Fortunately, the demon guards were able to find each other with the smell they smelled, and the smell could be stored and remembered in their minds for at least half a month, and he could find the demon from the vast sea of people, so he rushed straight to Wolong, the direction where the demon disappeared.

He couldn't help but say to himself as he walked, "Yueyi, Yueyi, don't blame me, blame you for being too simple, that's how the lessons of life came." The spirit bag lying quietly in his arms was the one that contained the nameless sword that Yue Yi had lost.

The spirit bag passed through three hands, first by the thief, then by the boat boss, and finally into his hands. Lao Liu weighed the spirit bag and thought it was interesting, "This extraordinary object is a good immortal artifact." In line with his delusion that he wants to follow the devil and cultivate immortals, in fact, Lao Liu is not so obsessed with money, he gives the impression that he is just his disguise, in order to reduce the suspicion of others' identity about his identity.

He is a demon, a demon who walks in the world and wants to become an immortal unorthodox, and he is an exception that is destined not to be accepted by any kind of race, so everything needs to be fought for and planned by himself.

Lao Liu continued to sniff the smell in the air, "The smell of Wolong is very light." "The thief must have only stopped for a short time before leaving, already heading south to an unknown location. Half a month of effective time, chasing him had to speed up, he rolled up his sleeves, "I have to do some real work, right?" You wait for me. And he got to work.

On the other side, Yue Yi and Uncle Gao got on a small boat, which was urgently put together by Uncle Gao's old wood, and it was still rickety and very suspenseful when sitting on it. But fortunately, he had a lot of strength, rowed very steadily, and there was nothing wrong with him. Until he got farther and farther away from his house, Yueyi asked, "You won't be reluctant?" "After all, it's a place where I've lived for a while.

Uncle Gao said: "Celibacy means that people are at home, and the house is no longer a shade to rely on, but their own strength is." ”

"That's why you want to learn martial arts?"

He nodded.

A middle-aged man, standing on his own, must have suffered something, hatred? Yueyi didn't know, and he didn't ask. The small boat is definitely not as fast as the big boat, but the Yoyo Nakatsuki has experienced some fun and soothed the fatigue and tension of the day. But she did not forget the big ship, and looked ahead on tiptoe, expecting in her heart that by the time she arrived at the column, the masked man would have long since disappeared, and had missed it again.

But when they were far away from the docks, they saw the smoke rolling into the sky, like a dark cloud in front of them. The wooden piles, planks, and boats docked at the riverside pier have been burned to the ground.

Uncle Gao was nervous and asked Yueyi, "Do you still go up like this?" It feels like it's going to die. ”

Yueyi hesitated, and then heard a familiar voice again.

"Come on." It's Yunzhan who comes! It's him again! This time, he was still wearing black clothes and black veils, blocking himself tightly.

"I've seen you doing things again?" Speculation on the first day of the month.

"It's fate, fate that can't be denied." Through the veil, Yun Zhan had a posture of obviously looking at Uncle Gao, and Uncle Gao trembled inexplicably. Yue Yicai realized that Yunzhan's deterrent power has always been very strong, but it is often not obvious to her. She patted Uncle Gao on the shoulder, helped him relieve some of the pressure, and introduced Yunzhan to Yunzhan, "This is Uncle Gao, a friend I met on the road." ”

Yun Zhan ignored it and said, "Let's go, I'll talk about it when we get there." ”

He introduced Yue Yi and Lao Gao into the middle lane avenue of Liefen, at this time, you can still see the houses and shops along the road to retain the approximate appearance before the fire, and the farther you go, the more serious the damage marks. When she arrived at the center of the fight, it was already impossible to imagine the chaos it was, and Tsukiichi could only tiptoe through the wolves, and she complained, "Is there an explosion here?" "It's too broken.

Yunzhan Yun is light and breezy, "Where can some little minions use such tricks?" ”

The central position was destroyed even more sparsely, but the high-rise buildings next to it were well preserved, which showed that the martial artist was at ease, and Yue Yi nodded secretly, he was a ruthless person.

Yun Zhan ordered his subordinates to take Uncle Gao to a resting place first, Uncle Gao was a little nervous, looking at the serious man who came in, and felt that the other party was going to tie him up. Yueyi reassured, "I'll look for you in a while, definitely." ”

"Okay." He reluctantly left with the strange man.

Yunzhan and Yueyi entered the second floor of the high-rise building, and several inner rooms here are quite elegant, decorated with agate and beads everywhere, and the door curtains and embroidered screens are also very beautiful. Yunzhan sat down naturally, making tea as usual, Yueyi saw it and couldn't help laughing, "You are still the same, you have a pot of tea everywhere, it is very elegant." ”

Yun Zhan also smiled and continued to pour tea. He said: "But the last time you said goodbye, you changed partners. ”

Alas, speaking of this, Yue Yi was sad, she sat down and said about the separation of Shang Rui and Yicheng, "There is a request, I want you to help me find them." Yue said embarrassed.

"I'll tell them to pay attention to this. But you don't have to worry too much, the last time I fought with them, although they were not martial arts masters, it was still difficult for ordinary people to hurt them, and there should be no danger to their lives. ”

He continued: "The merchant ship has been dealt with by me, there is no trace of them on it, there is no sign of a fight, the dead are probably civilians, and there is a good chance that they will be alive." ”

Since Yun Zhan said so, Yue Yi also put his mind at ease, Shang Rui and Yicheng should really be fine.

I don't know what I experienced in just one day, there are ruins everywhere. But fortunately, the territory has become Yunzhan's sphere of influence, and Yue Yi can take a good rest here and inquire about the wrong news. Yun Zhan arranged for Yue Yi and Uncle Gao to stay in Liefen, and then went to deal with his own affairs, and before leaving, he warned Yue Yi, "That person has an abrupt background, you still have some reservations about him." ”

The moon is a little bit, since Yun Zhan said so, she is still more wary of Uncle Gao.

On the other side, Lao Liu, who had been tracking the breath of witch power, came to a bustling town in the southern boundary of Linan, and the smell finally led him to the door of a fireworks land.

He tilted his head and smiled, "Huh? This demon is quite good at enjoying it. ”
