Chapter 1: The Robbery
The sound of horses' hooves was muffled, scattered in the dim mountain forest, adding a bit of silence out of thin air.
Everyone was in a hurry, wrapped in thick clothes, but a lot of things could be seen from the thick calluses on the exposed palms.
"You say, the coffinβ"
One person's voice was quite young, obviously he couldn't bear the dull temperament, so he simply broke the silence, but he was directly and rudely interrupted by the leading man:
"Shut your mouth for me!"
The young man muttered a few times, obviously afraid of the might of the leading man, and could only swallow what he had not yet spoken.
Another half-jokingly said:
"Knife, you've said about the coffin no less than ten times along the way, if you want to replace me as the boss, you would have been kicked off the horse a long time ago, you know?"
The young man known as the knife shrank his head, but he did not dare to answer.
At this time, another person spoke behind him, but it was a cold female voice, and it sounded like nothing more than twenty-eight or nine:
"A little kid is a little kid, if you hear a legend, it's true, if you don't have a root in your brain, I don't mind helping you fix it. β
The knife still wanted to say something, but under the pressure of the man in front of him, he could only sneak a glance at the petite person in the middle of the team, and whispered:
"But didn't she say it? Can what the family said be false? I've heardβ"
The cold voice of the leading man came from the front:
"I don't want the things on my neck anymore? I dare to talk a lot about the family? I'm afraid I've forgotten our rules?"
The volume of these three questions was not loud, but it could make the knife feel cold all over the body, so he could only admit his mistake, and then lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.
Actually, he's right. β
Finally, the man in the team who had never spoken spoke spoke, and when he listened carefully, it turned out to be a little girl about seventeen or eighty-nine years old!
As soon as the girl spoke, everyone in the group remained silent, including the leading man.
"The things about that coffin are all word of mouth in this world, even those behemoths...... There are also many people who are pursuing. Of course, it is impossible to consider whether the legend is true or false, but so many successors from ancient times to the present can also explain some problems. β
The young man was beaming, but he still didn't dare to say anything.
The leading man was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
"The family has a point. β
The girl was a little helpless:
"What kind of family, don't I have a name? Uncle Li, you are an elder, just call me Ying'er. β
The man was silent for a while, and then spit out two words with difficulty:
"Rules. β
The girl sighed when she heard this, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied:
"Why do you have so many rules here, this is also a rule, and that is also a rule?"
The knife on the side also echoed:
"It's ......"
He was then kicked off his horse by his companion.
The middle-aged man known as Uncle Li didn't pay attention to the stunned young man in the team, but said to the girl respectfully:
"The upper family is a phoenix waiting to fly, and it is ...... Personally selected sons of the sky, how dare we vulgar men offend?"
The girl puffed up and lay on the horse's back:
"Who wants to be picked, I'm staying here in Anshan well, the little days are delicious, and suddenly they want to drag me to some Xianghuan City, I don't know the place well, it's not interesting at all. β
Uncle Li smiled bitterly:
"The Shang family laughed, after arriving in Xianghuan City, with your posture, you will naturally soar into the clouds, like us martial artists...... I'm afraid I won't be able to touch that level for the rest of my life. β
The girl was stunned, and her voice also lowered:
"But I want to be with my parents, not to do any spiritual ......"
When Uncle Li heard this, he wanted to comfort this little girl, but his keen insight made him realize that something was wrong, his face changed instantly, he turned his head to look at the front of the team, and said sharply:
"Who?!"
Everyone in the team was startled, and then subconsciously grasped their weapons and looked ahead vigilantly.
The girl on the horse was also startled, and then she also nervously followed Uncle Li's gaze, not knowing what was going on.
"One, two, three, four, five...... Yo, there's a little girl. β
A rambling voice came from the trees ahead, followed by a man stepping out of the darkness.
Everyone was stunned, because the person who came out halfway was just a young man with a slightly immature face.
The young man was dressed in shabby linen clothes, and his black hair was also disheveled, and only a pair of bright eyes could be vaguely seen through the broken hair.
Uncle Li frowned and looked at this young man who was not even twenty years old, and his tone was a little softened, but he was still full of vigilance:
"Little baby, if it's okay, please take a detour to save you a lot of trouble. β
Everyone in the back saw that it was just a teenager blocking the road, and they were also relieved.
Unexpectedly, the young man rubbed his hair, grinned, and said something that shocked the audience:
"How can it be all right? I'm here to rob the Tao. β
Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, and then his face became gloomy:
"Are you prepared?"
The boy shook his head:
"Not really. I just happened to run into you, and I ran out of food, so I came to rob you. β
The man who teased the knife earlier also laughed when he heard this:
"Kid, are you joking? You're here to rob alone, and you want to rob food?"
The boy nodded earnestly:
"Yes, as long as it's food, please cooperate. β
The cold-voiced woman in the team couldn't help but laugh:
"This kid is so cute. β
Uncle Li still had a serious face:
"You'll leave after giving you food?"
The boy raised an eyebrow:
"What's the matter, you still want to watch me eat if you don't leave?
The girl in the team snorted and laughed:
"Hahaha......"
The boy looked at the girl who was about his own age and narrowed his eyes:
"Funny?"
The girl couldn't help laughing:
"No, I just think you're funny. β
The boy "sighed", and then became a little impatient:
"Okay, if you can't say a word, I'm going to do it if I haven't eaten. β
Uncle Li just wanted to speak, but the girl behind him said with a smile:
"If we give you something to eat, can you come with us?"
Uncle Li was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at the girl:
"You can't go home! This man is unknown......
The girl winked playfully:
"Uncle Li, you see that his clothes are thin, he doesn't have any weapons, his body bones are not that strong type, and he is not a real evil person, and it just so happens that I also lack an entourage to take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation, isn't this person just right?"
Uncle Li hesitated:
"This ...... But people are unpredictable, and there are many people who are worried about you......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Li turned his head to look at the black-haired boy again, focusing on his figure and limbs, but he couldn't see any traces of martial arts, and secretly relaxed his vigilance.
The girl stuck out her tongue:
"Isn't there still you? What can he do?"
Uncle Li: "This...... This for a long time, and finally nodded:
"Well, since you've decided to ...... home"
However, the teenager on the side interrupted the conversation of several people:
"Wait a minute, how do I remember that I didn't seem to have promised to go with you?"
The girl grinned:
"There's meat to eat~"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Good. β
At this time, the knife at the back of the team lowered his voice and said:
"What's going on, joining a stranger halfway? Is that a joke?"
The woman next to her answered:
"When I got into play, we just did it. Keep an eye on that kid and don't let him the of a moth. β
The knife was still about to speak, and he was slapped on the back of the head, but it was the man who kicked him off the horse before, and he saw the man looking at the knife with a hippie smile:
"What's the matter, are you jealous? I didn't like you handsome guy, but I fell in love with a wild man?"
The knife's face was flushed:
"Shut up!"
The man laughed:
"If I were you, I would be jealous, after all, she is such a good-looking little girl~"
The knife was extremely embarrassed, and pounced directly, scuffling with the man:
"Green Snake! You're done!"
"Everything I say is true!"
The boy glanced at the commotion at the back of the line, and yawned nonchalantly:
"You guys are really interesting. β
Uncle Li said with a slight warning:
"If you're traveling with you, you'd better settle down a bit, otherwise you'll find it very 'interesting'. β
The young man said "Oh?", then looked at Uncle Li with a provocative meaning, and said with a smile:
"Why, I was invited by your family, do you think I will take what you say seriously?"
Uncle Li glared angrily:
"You!"
Obviously, in the conversation just now, this teenager has also figured out who is the most powerful person in this team.
The girl watched Uncle Li eat deflated, and she also couldn't help laughing:
"Uncle Li, don't compete with him as a child, look at the jokes. β
Uncle Li listened to the girl's words, and also suppressed his anger, and then grabbed the horse, and led the horse to continue forward, and at the same time coldly threw down two words:
"Retinue. β
The young man sneered, and didn't care about the man's ridicule, but looked at the girl beside him, and said casually:
"Where's the food?"
The girl chuckled and felt a small baggage, but instead of handing it to the boy, she smiled:
"I can't give food to someone who doesn't even know the name, can I?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, and then, as if his desire for food had prevailed over pride, he could only reply with great reluctance:
"Zheng Xie. β
