Chapter 1 Leaving the Floating Garden
The sun is slanting westward, and the tea shed next to the plank road has been deserted, and there are only two or three tables of people left who are still resting inside. The guest sitting at the innermost table was alone, and the figure was a girl. She wrapped her headscarf, lowered her head, and sipped slowly with a cup of tea in her hand.
Perhaps noticing her, the two men who were sitting a little outside couldn't help but raise their voices.
ββ¦β¦ Of course I am the next hero of Ouyang Villa, I'm Shen Lao Er walking the rivers and lakes, but who have I ever been afraid of! β
"But I've heard that this time the bounty is not an ordinary character. It is said that the Hexi Dao Yangwei Dart Bureau has been wiped out, and even the old man Luo Shuangjiao, the head of the dart, has not escaped the poisonous hands! β
"Hmph, no matter what's wrong, it's just a woman! If she's pretty, I don't mind touching her, hehe...... It's not that I blow, I was also the one who fought with the 'Quartet Golden Dart' in the Yangwei Dart Bureau, when I was in the third year of my debut......"
The man at the top was about to continue blowing, when suddenly a shadow fell beside him. Looking up, the girl in the innermost seat before didn't know when she stood beside him, silently, Rao is Shen Lao Er was arrogant, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
"Regarding the murderer of Ouyang Villa's bounty for destroying the door and raising the power of the dart bureau, can you please tell me more about it?" The girl spoke, her voice steady, but emotionless.
The two men only felt that this girl was unspeakably weird, whether it was the tone of her voice or her demeanor, or her manners, it made people feel a chill down their spine. The idea of wanting to be majestic in front of her before was already not even a scumbag, so he could only force himself to say: "Oh...... Well, haha, my brother is going to crusade against that female demon......"
The person on the other side hurriedly clarified: "Brother, didn't you just say that you took the hero post?!" β
"Ahem, I'm going too. This kind of ruthless devil is punished by everyone......?!! β
Suddenly a cool breeze swept across her face, and the girl's hands rose and fell, and she was already pointing towards the three big acupoints on the man's body. The man abandoned the table and hid in his busy schedule, but he only avoided one place, hit one place, and missed one place. The whole person collapsed to the ground, embarrassed. The people at the table stood up in panic, at a loss.
The girl calmly looked at the man curled up on the ground and took a step towards him.
"Oh, my aunt spare!!" The man immediately screamed like a pig.
The girl's gaze fell on the man, where the fabric was already wet. She suddenly smiled strangely, the corners of her mouth seemed to be lifted by an invisible thread, and an indescribable "gurgling" sound came from her throat, "I was going to say that if you were going to kill her, then I would kill you." β
Her figure fluttered, and she had already arrived at the door of the tea shed.
"But it seems that you can't kill her at all, not to mention, she will kill you instead."
The girl's figure faded away, and when her shadow was no longer visible, the two men in the tea shed got up tremblingly. The owner of the tea shed rushed over and whispered, "Are you two okay?" She's gone, don't be afraid. β
The man who had been hit by the girl's trick before was still trembling like a sifting chaff, and stammered: "She, her hand is so ruthless, if I hit all three places, today, today will be wasted." β
"I'm afraid that if you don't break through the meridians in time, you will be wasted in three hours."
Suddenly, a fourth voice sounded, and the three of them followed the sound, and it turned out that the third table of guests in the teashedβif he hadn't spoken at this time, I am afraid that no one would have noticed that there was still someone sitting at this tableβa young knight, and he turned his head and smiled at the three of them. The smile was playful and warm, and it was indescribably comfortable on the young and handsome face.
He walked briskly to Shen Lao'er's side and patted him on the shoulder seemingly unintentionally. But I saw Shen Lao Er trembling all over, and spit out a mouthful of blood, which happened to spray on the face of the person who was traveling with him.
"Phew!!" This innocent victim subconsciously spat out a mouthful of spit on Shen Laoer's face.
"Okay, it's better to spit out blood than to choke to death with a blood clot." The young man said with a grin.
Shen Lao Er spat viciously and said, "This wild woman is so strange, she gave such a vicious hand for no reason. β
The owner of the tea shed waved his hand to signal him to control his emotions, "The two guest officers don't know that the reason why this girl is sitting alone in the corner is actually because no one wants to sit near her. I've heard people say that she is the person who left the floating garden, and they all call her - Miss Food. β

The rivers and lakes are chaotic, and there are three religions and nine streams. Since Ouyang Villa's plan to unite the two major families of the five major sects to form a martial arts alliance has been aborted, the rivers and lakes have been scattered, each doing its own thing, and you have been making a lot of trouble coming and going. In the chaos, it is inevitable that some factions of different factions will be born.
For example, the owner of the tea shed just said that he left the floating garden.
Although this is a nice name and sounds elegant, it is actually a dart game to say that it sounds good, and it is an errand to say that it is ugly.
At the beginning, Lifuyuan was not such a force that did this kind of low-level labor, but there was a master who was not well managed, not only did his subordinates run almost the same, but the family was almost unable to open the pot. In desperation, he had no choice but to rely on his own ability to pick up some troublesome things that other sects were unwilling to do, so as to earn some living expenses.
The most famous time is that the Shushan Sword Sect and Zhongyangmen formed a Liangzi - no one knows how the two families were separated by 108,000 miles, in short, it was the people of Zhongyangmen who asked the Shushan Sword Sect to come to the Central Plains to compete with them and make a decision. As a result, Zhongyang Sect sent its own disciples to pass the word in the past, and the Shushan Sword Sect was not a bird at all, and sent people back with a sentence that there was no Shushan Sword Sect in Shuzhong at all.
Of course, they didn't say so kindly, and probably added some words like "I can't even see who I'm fighting with when I'm blind" or "The Shushan Sword Sect you are looking for may be in the sky, so if you want to find it, you will ascend to heaven by yourself".
Of course, Zhongyangmen couldn't swallow this breath, and selected more than a dozen elite people in the door to figure out what was going on.
However, this time the trouble was even bigger, and the people from the Shushan Sword Sect and Zhongyangmen directly started to do it. The sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable that a few will be killed and injured. The beam is getting bigger and bigger, and if it is put in other places, it will already be a cane battle, but this place in Shuzhong is difficult to get in and out. The people of the Shushan Sword Sect were too lazy to go out, and the people from Zhongyangmen didn't want to come in.
Since there is a war of words, then there is a need for a messenger. But when it comes to the other party's territory, it is inevitable that they will be outnumbered, and under the rendering of both sides, both sides have become discredited, insidious and cunning villain gangs, which are to be killed, so it is best for the messenger not to belong to the third party of these two sects.
So which third party is this thankless task entrusted to?
At that time, the owner of Lifuyuan stepped forward and took two entourages to climb the mountain and go deep into Shu with his bare hands, and finally figured out two things.
First, there is indeed no such thing as the Shushan Sword School on the rivers and lakes, the two most famous sects in Shu are the Qingcheng School and the Emei School, but the two are in Shuzhong, and the number of martial arts roads is similar, and they are confused by the people of the Central Plains, so they summarize the Jianghu sect in Shuzhong as the Shuzhong Sword School.
Second, he figured out which one was fighting with Zhongyangmen.
Of course, just figuring out these two things will not make the owner of Lifuyuan famous, but when he found these two sects in Shuzhong, the other party thought that he was sent by Zhongyang Sect to smash the field. Since he is here to smash the field, then nonsense Hugh said that he will see the truth directly in his hands. He single-handedly picked the two major sects in Shuzhong, and he was able to return to the Central Plains intact, which is the key to making him famous.
After that, the rivers and lakes finally admitted the existence of such a person who helped people do chores. The owner of the floating garden was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief: life was finally able to go on.

The sun is over and night is falling. There was not a single light in the wilderness, only the hazy moonlight falling miserably in the dilapidated courtyard. The girl pushed the door of the dilapidated manor, but did not move. She took a step back and kicked it over, and the door fell with a thud.
Walk through the dimly lit patio and enter the main house directly opposite the main door. The bleak moonlight drifted into the house through the open door, and I could barely see that the statue of the god was enshrined in the center of the room. The rest of the black holes were so empty that she could barely see her fingers, and the girl had just crossed the threshold when she tripped over something under her feet.
She stood firm and tried it on her tiptoes, feeling like a long object wrapped in a bamboo mat. She was about to crouch down and reach out to investigate, when she suddenly reacted to the slightly soft touch on her feet - yes, it can't be wrong, this is a corpse wrapped in a bamboo mat.
Reacted to this, and the smell of corpses in the room suddenly became obvious, floating like a ghost in the gloomy and dark room. The girl covered her mouth and cautiously groped her way through the darkness. By the faint light of the window, she tried out the fourth coffin on her left with her toes, and reached out and tapped on the coffin lid.
Knock three times, stop for a while, and hit this frequency three times for a total of three times.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from inside the dead house.
"Leaving the floating garden, you came as agreed."
The voice came from the other end of the coffin in front of the girl, but no matter what, the girl couldn't see clearly that there was a figure in the darkness. She had not noticed any signs of living creatures in the room until the sound was heard. Perhaps, this "person" actually crawled out of a coffin here, ...... dead man?
Miss Delicious felt a chill down her spine. She replied: "Yes, three quarters of the hour, fifty miles outside the city, Zhang's Yizhuang." β
"Just you? I remember that it was another man and a woman who came to take my business. β
"The man and woman eloped." The girl said dryly, "There are only three people up and down from the floating garden, so I came." β
The other side was silent for a while, perhaps shocked by the poor sour appearance of the manpower of the floating garden. After a long time, the other party said slowly: "I didn't expect that this business trip could alarm the owner of Lifuyuan, Miss Food." β
