Chapter 4: Qiao Manran
The bronze ancient sword first appeared at the auction, and it was worth a lot of money, it was auctioned off by an old man with a pockmarked face, and among the people in the audience at that time, except for the black gauze woman, Yue Qing had the deepest impression of this old man.
Because in those wrinkled eyes, he saw a terrifying coldness.
Yue Qing also understood now that the cultivators who came to hunt down and kill were not nine, but ten.
Not only did he not notice it, but Duan Chong and dozens of other people who were chasing and killing were all unaware, this old man's concealment skills were very strong.
As an Eight Red Martial Artist, although the old man's combat power was also under Duan Chong, as an old man who had been in Qiao City for many years, his experience surpassed that of everyone present.
He has been hiding his figure, not joining the chasing crowd, letting others die first, and waiting for the best opportunity before shooting.
And now is the best chance!
Duan Chong was entangled, most of the other martial artists were killed or wounded, and Yue Qing was also seriously injured, standing in the narrow iron chain.
As long as Yue Qing is instantaneous, Duan Chong will not continue to fight to the death, he will take his head to Dawuzhou to receive the award, and he can also be a hero who kills evil demons, maybe he can join the Martial Academy, and his cultivation path will be smooth in the future.
The plan is almost perfect!
At this moment, the ancient sword was less than two feet, and it was a little rusty, but it was extremely sharp under the wrapping of vitality, and it slashed directly at Yue Qing's door.
Laugh at!
The boy in front of him reacted surprisingly quickly, turning his head at an unimaginable speed, but the ancient sword fell in response to the sound and still managed to slash his shoulder.
Blood splattered!
The old man was a little surprised that this sword didn't kill directly, but it didn't matter, and he quickly slashed out the second sword.
Under his gaze, the boy's face was full of pain, but the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a wicked smile.
I even dare to laugh, I won't be able to cry when I will make you cry!
Before he could drop his sword, he heard a loud bang, and the river rushed to the sky, and a huge shadow hung overhead.
When I glanced up, it was a huge catfish comparable to two houses!
The old man with a pockmarked face had lived for more than fifty years, and he had never seen such a big fish, and his beard alone was longer than two of them.
Syllable!
The catfish flicked its tail, the old man was slapped away like a ball, and a wave of water overshadowed him, and when he looked at the iron chain again, Yue Qing was gone.
The old man landed on the opposite shore, coughing and vomiting blood, looking into the river, and the others also stopped to look at the bottom of the water, where were there any catfish in the turbulent water, not to mention Yue Qing's small figure.
"Damn! The pigeon in hand has flew!"
The remaining dozen or so people scolded, without the head of the evil demon, they couldn't get the reward and couldn't be heroes, it was pointless for them to continue fighting, and they were afraid of Duan Chong's retaliation, so they glanced at each other and fled.
The pock-faced old man was slapped by the catfish, the qi and blood in his body were tumbling badly, and the injury was not light, he glanced at Duan Chong, who was standing with a sword and a majestic face, and finally chose to leave.
When they walked away, Duan Chong spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his injury was not light, looking at the long river, he sighed, and staggered back to Qiao City.
By the time he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already noon the next day, and the well-dressed maid was already waiting at the door of the room.
"Miss looking for me?"
The maid saluted and said, "Miss said, if you don't come back, she doesn't worry about using that pill." ”
"I'll go with you. ”
"Your injuries?" The maid was a little worried.
"No problem. ”
Duan Chong hurriedly washed his face, tidied up his clothes a little, and followed the maid to the garden, where a slender woman sat on her back in the small pavilion.
She is the black gauze woman of the auction, the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion 'Qiao Manran', who can be said to be the most precious and beautiful woman in the entire Qiao City.
In the entire Qiao City, only the City Lord's Mansion can take out 5,000 gold without even blinking an eye, and only she can use Qiao Mansion's love Qiao He.
Ever since he had seen her as a girl seven years ago, Duan Chong had decided to stay in the City Lord's Mansion and guard her forever.
Over the years, he has risen from a small family member to the head of the guards, and he has learned to practice, and he is only one step away from entering the realm of Xiaxi, and he is the most powerful helper of the city lord, and his status is extremely high.
She also became a slim beauty from a little girl.
He had planned to confess to her when he went further, but after last night's auction, he understood that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther apart.
Her mind was deep, and she was no longer the little girl with a big smile.
"You're back. The woman was still on her back and didn't look back.
"Hmm. Duan Chong was slightly disappointed.
"So, Yue Qing is still alive?" She asked again, still not looking back.
"I don't know whether he lives or dies, whether he can live depends on his own creation. ”
Duan Chong's tone was a little cold, he almost died last night, and the beloved in front of him didn't ask, but cared about the little demon who had only met once.
The world is hot and cold, and the feelings are light.
Qiao Manran took out a transparent jade bottle from his arms, which contained half of the Tianyan Pill that he had bought with a lot of money.
"You must be wondering why I bought it in the first place. ”
Duan Chong didn't speak, he really didn't understand, but it was not good to show it in front of her, a girl who was already extremely beautiful, what reason did she have to do anything for a beauty elixir?
Qiao Manran sighed, "Duan Chong, have you counted, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
"Meet?"
Duan Chong quickly understood what she meant, "You have been counting since the day you covered your face, and it has been almost three years now, with your identity, I really don't deserve to see your appearance." ”
He was a little resentful.
Qiao Manran was silent for a long time, and finally turned around slowly.
This time, she didn't cover her face with a black veil.
But when Duan Chong was happy to take a look, everything in front of him made him almost fall to the ground.
"How could you, how could you ......"
The original face with the face of Allure no longer exists, and has become a face with pustules and pits.
If it weren't for the fact that his voice hadn't changed, Duan Chong wouldn't have believed that the woman in front of him was the person he had been in love with for seven years.
"Do you still like me like this?"
Her words fell like thunder, and Duan Chong wanted to say that he liked it, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Qiao Manran was not surprised at all, because she knew that Duan Chong was not a person who could lie, so such a response was normal and true.
"In the past three years, I have searched for good medicine, but no progress has been made, and my face has become worse and worse, and I am no different from a monster. Her tone was calm.
"So you'd rather spend a lot of money to buy half a Tianyan Pill. Duan Chong shook his head, "But how do you know this thing works......?"
He didn't believe that the Tianyan Pill worked, because the condition of his face was so bad that he was afraid that any panacea would not work.
Qiao Manran clenched his fists, "To be honest, I was already desperate, but since I learned the news of Tianyan Dan, I had to try it......"
She said that she was a little stumped here, for a woman, the importance of appearance is probably more important than life, you can imagine how much she has suffered in the past three years, so when she met Tianyan Dan, she had to go to Bo.
Duan Chong wanted to go up and hug her, but the raised hand finally put it down.
"Alas, if I had known this, I should have left that little demon in the City Lord's Mansion, maybe there would be another half of the Tianyan Pill. ”
Qiao Manran shook his head, "Although Yue Qing is a demon clan, he is thoughtful and intelligent, and he will never bring the whole pill, but his dantian is broken, and only Qiao He can be cured, and there are also people he values who are also there with Ge Tian, so he will definitely come to me again." ”
As early as last night, she went to the Demon Hunting Division with the city guard, and sure enough, she found another fox demon who was caught, which was the Ming'er that Jiang Yanrong said.
In order to prevent accidents, the Ten Heavenly City Guards will personally stay behind to guard the Demon Hunting Division, and Ge Tian naturally has to sell this face.
"You come and help me. ”
She personally opened the jade bottle, took out the Tianyan Pill and handed it to Duan Chong, and handed over a golden basin containing clear water.
Duan Chong nodded solemnly and carefully integrated the Tianyan Pill into the water.
These waters are the underground spring water of Qiaofu, which is used to cultivate love for Qiao He, and it is also very valuable.
The woman took a deep breath, bowed her head, and put white gas on her unrecognizable face.
"Ahh
A burst of heat struck, as if his whole face was burned by the flames, Qiao Manran lowered his head in pain and groaned, forcibly not touching his face, Duan Chong sweated nervously on the side.
After another moment, the tingling was gone, replaced by a coolness, like flesh and skin renewing.
After a long time, the cooling sensation is completely gone.
Until he didn't feel anything, Qiao Manran slowly raised his head with apprehension.
"Miss, you ......"
The maid was the first to scream, and Duan Chong's tightly furrowed brows suddenly unfolded, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Don't I ......?"
Qiao Manran's heart was pounding, and he snatched the mirror from the maid and finally saw his face.
The white gas that Tianyan Dan turned into was all integrated into the skin, and the potholes were gone, the pustules were gone, except for some folds and uneven red and white, the whole face was completely new!
Now, although she has not been as powerful as before, she is at least a normal person.
I believe that as long as she uses the other half of Tianyan Pill, her face will definitely be restored to its original state!
She cried with joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them looked outside, hoping to see the blue-eyed demon sooner.
