Chapter 20: Night Killing

Perhaps because his previous life was filled with hatred, Bai Wushan, who walked on the streets of the night market, seemed particularly curious, lingering at various stalls and vendors.

This little girl, who was only sixteen years old, spent years learning how to remember hatred and how to kill a person most neatly.

And Zheng Xie's idea is to teach her how to forget hatred.

"Childe, look at this!"

Bai Wushan dragged Zheng Xie, who was full of helplessness, to a stall, his eyes flashed like sparks, and he watched with great interest how the white-haired and white-bearded old man blew out a lively villain with honey mud in a few breaths.

I saw that the old man's fingers flew up and down, and a ball of sugar paste was unconsciously endowed with a demeanor, which was almost the same as the appearance of the candy buyer, which can be said to be an exquisite craftsmanship.

Bai Wushan looked at the stall for a long time, and then couldn't help but look back at Zheng Xie:

"Childe ......"

Zheng Xie naturally knew what Bai Wushan was thinking, looking at the latter's bright eyes, Zheng Xie was playful for a while, and then put on a frivolous appearance:

"If you want it, you can kiss me and give it to you~"

Bai Wushan lowered his head in shame:

"That'...... Then I don't want it!"

Zheng Xie couldn't help but laugh when he saw her cute appearance, so he took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table in front of the old man who blew candy, and said with a smile:

"Old man, please make a candy man for her. ”

Then, Zheng Xie bent down slightly and leaned into Bai Wushan's ear, half-jokingly:

"I've already paid the money, remember to wait and kiss~"

Bai Wushan was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"No! Big deal...... I...... I don't want that sugar man anymore!"

Zheng Xie couldn't help laughing, rubbed Bai Wushan's head and said:

"Kidding you, just a candy man, look at how scared you are. ”

Hearing Zheng Xie's words, Bai Wushan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to look at Zheng Xie's eyes, just squatted aside and carefully watched the old man's movements.

The old man didn't look like an old-fashioned person, and when he saw this, he also laughed:

"The little lover's relationship is not bad, right?"

Bai Wushan was stunned for a moment, and after realizing that the old man was talking about himself, he quickly denied it with a red face:

"Old man, you're mistaken, we-"

"Exactly!"

Zheng Xie smiled brightly, and directly hugged Bai Wushan into his arms, covering her face on his chest, not letting this little girl finish her clarifying words.

"Woo!"

Bai Wushan let out a vague voice of protest, but after struggling to no avail, he gave up resistance and let Zheng Xie hold her in his arms.

Zheng Xie lowered his head with a wicked smile, and gently whispered in Bai Wushan's ear:

"Your innocent name is gone, it seems that you can only follow me~"

How could Bai Wushan ever be so close to a person of the opposite sex? She smelled the fragrance of the placket on Zheng Xie's chest, and there was a warm breath in her ears, only to feel that her whole body was full of crisp, and she almost lost her strength directly.

Zheng Xie felt the delicate body of the girl in his arms soften, and he also knew that the joke was overfired, so he hurriedly let go of the hand holding the other party, and changed the topic:

"Come, see if your sugar man looks like it?"

Bai Wushan hadn't recovered from his previous charm, he only felt that his brain was groggy, his face was hot, and even what Zheng Xie said was hazy.

I don't know why, obviously I only got along with this young man of unknown origin for one day, but Bai Wushan found that he seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper, as if he had strayed into a quagmire, trying to struggle but sinking himself even more.

Come to think of it, it should have been from the moment the arrow was shot, and her life was rewritten by this person who suddenly appeared.

"This sugar man is actually as energetic as a human, but no one cares about this now. ”

The old man said with a smile while pinching the candy man.

Zheng Xie looked at the old man pinching sugar with some curiosity:

"Oh, there's a doorway here?"

The old man smiled:

"It's nature. Pinching candy people, first have to look at people's faces, then people's hearts, and finally look at people and gods, otherwise what they pinch out is only dead things. ”

Zheng Xie raised his eyebrows:

"Why, could it be that you're holding a living thing?"

The old man shook his head and smiled:

"How can I have such a state...... After pinching it for so many years, it can only make this sugar man a little more angry. ”

Bai Wushan couldn't help but admire:

"It's amazing to have this kind of skill. ”

The old man also laughed even more when he heard this:

"The little girl is very fond of talking, come on, give your sugar man. ”

Zheng Xie added with a smile on the side:

"She's not just talking. ”

The sugar man in the old man's hand and Bai Wushan's demeanor were eight or nine points similar, and even the clothes and manners were so exquisite that even Zheng Xie was a little surprised.

Bai Wushan gently poked Zheng Xie with his hand, and then took the sugar man while thanking him.

After receiving the sugar man handed by the old man, Bai Wushan was still in a state of confusion, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, just letting Zheng Xie hold her hand.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, the old man who pinched the candy stopped Zheng Xie:

"Afterlife!"

Zheng Xie turned his head and was a little puzzled:

"What?"

The old man put away his tools for burning sugar, and said meaningfully:

"It's not good to travel at night, so let's go back early. ”

Zheng Xie's eyes froze when he heard this, and then the corners of his mouth raised:

"Thank you, old man. However, there is still an exchange of courtesies, and I will also give you a piece of advice: remember to advise the juniors of your sect not to get involved in tonight's affairs. ”

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, and then he seemed to realize something, his face became a little more solemn, and he looked Zheng Xie up and down quite seriously, and said:

"Thank you. ”

Zheng Xie smiled slightly:

"You're welcome. ”

Bai Wushan heard the inexplicable words of the two, although he didn't understand what they meant, he still realized something to some extent, so he pulled the corner of Zheng Xie's clothes and asked softly:

"Childe...... Something will happen tonight...... Right?"

Zheng Xie turned his head, and his smile gradually converged, turning into a deep calm:

"Wushan, remember what I told you before I entered the city?"

Bai Wushan quickly reacted:

"Some people ...... Will you lay down your life for vain possessions?"

Zheng Xie calmly stared at the street not far away:

"And, these people ...... It won't be less. ”

Dingβ€”β€”

A crisp and distant hum.

The lights at the end of the street gradually became sporadic and the distant scenery began to fade into the night.

The vendors who were shouting hard all realized something, put away their goods in an orderly manner, and then quickly closed their stalls and left, leaving the whole street empty.

Bai Wushan leaned into Zheng Xie's arms a little nervously:

"Childe...... What's going on?"

Zheng Xie's face does not change:

"The old rule of cultivators is to warn and clear the field before making a move in the mortal city, so as not to hurt the innocent. ”

Bai Wushan was puzzled:

"Cultivator?"

Zheng Xie tilted his head and smiled gently:

"After tonight, you'll understand. ”

"Until then, all you need to do is keep your candy man. ”

Bai Wushan nodded obediently, feeling for the first time that Zheng Xie beside him was so reassuring.

Zheng Xie looked at the darkness that was spreading over, and he also felt the peeps of people from all walks of life, and he also showed a cold smile:

"Everyone who comes is a guest ......"

An eerie voice rang out:

"A good sentence, everyone who comes is a guest...... Why, then, are you so lazy?"

Call!

A foul-smelling fishy wind blew in his face, and he saw a huge figure leaping out of the darkness, two people tall, just like a beast and slaughtering towards Zheng Xie!

Listening to the hoarse roar, Zheng Xie didn't seem to care, and even had some contempt:

"The shitty trick of playing with corpses......"

It seems that Zheng Xie has already judged the other party's way of coming!

The man in the shadows was a little shocked by Zheng Xie's words, because the black-haired boy could see through his details at a glance.

But even so, he didn't think that a teenager could take over his wood-level puppet.

That figure was extremely nimble, but the power contained in it was extremely violent, and with a claw, with a whistling wind, it seemed that even the golden stone could be directly crushed!

Bai Wushan was a little frightened, but he resisted the desire to escape, because Zheng Xie just asked her to take care of the sugar man in her hand.

Between the threat of life and death and Zheng Xie, she chose the latter.

"In a small city like this, it should take you a lot of time to refine the most inferior corpse puppet, right?"

Zheng Xie had a mocking look on his face, and he actually met the huge figure with a punch!

"It's a shame that your hard work doesn't seem to have much effect. ”

Before the words fell, Zheng Xie's fist had already come into contact with the hideous corpse puppet claws.

There were no expected broken bones and tendons, and Zheng Xie's forward trend was only a slight pause, and he crushed all the defensive momentum of the corpse puppet like a bamboo.

That inconspicuous fist actually shattered the corpse puppet's arm that had been repeatedly refined by potions!

"What?!"

The man in the shadows let out a squeal, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Even if it's just the lowest level of the corpse puppet, it's also an advanced corpse puppet! Even if it's a physical cultivation in the Qi Sea Period, you have to be a little afraid of this kind of corpse puppet that has been tempered by various procedures, but this young man ......

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly realized something, showed a look of horror, and said sharply:

"You're a martial artist!"

The next moment, his throat was choked by a hand.

Zheng Xie's voice was like a talisman:

"It seems a little late to realize it now. I think you'd better accept my warm hospitality with peace of mind......"
