Yan Yuling stood on the bluestone steps at the door of Gong Changqing's house, his heart was faintly uneasy, the sunset had set on the West Mountain, and he was about to sink, but Gong Changqing had not gone home so far, could it be that he had been with Liu Ruyan all the time? I'm afraid it's not that simple, Gong Changqing is not the kind of person who can't move his legs when he meets a beauty.

The patrol guards gradually passed by on the street, and Yan Yuling remembered the murder of Long Yanjun outside the city this morning, and worried about the palace chief. He decided to go to Yimi first to ask about the situation, if this kid really stayed with Liu Ruyan, then he must strangle the palace chief with his own hands.

Yan Yuling had already found out about the inn where Mo Qingxuan's master and apprentice lived, and it was not difficult to find them, and the distance was not very far.

Turning two long streets, Yan Yuling felt a man following behind him, Yan Yuling turned into a small alley and took refuge behind the wall. The man hurried up, and when he showed his head at the mouth of the alley, Yan Yuling suddenly pressed him against the wall and shouted, "Why are you following me?"

The man was startled and stumbled: "I, I, I didn't mean to follow you, someone asked me to follow you just now." ”

Yan Yuling asked, "Who asked you to follow him?"

"I don't know either, he just said let me follow you, and if I find out, I'll give you something. ”

"What's that?"

"It's a jade pendant. The man took out a piece of Sifang Carved Dragon Jade Pendant from his arms and handed it to Yan Yuling. This is exactly the accessories that Gong Changqing has.

Yan Yuling put away the jade pendant and said in a deep voice, "Where is that person now, what does he look like?"

"I don't know where the man went, he covered his face with a black veil, and he couldn't see what he looked like. The man trembled and looked frightened.

"Cover your face, do you know if it's a man or a woman?"

"He spoke in a rough and hoarse voice, and he was supposed to be a man. ”

"How can it be a man?" Yan Yuling was a little confused at this time, as far as he knew, Mo Qingxuan was the others

They are all women, and there are no men, but if it weren't for them, who would they be?

"What else did that person say to you?" Yan Yuling asked again

He said that if he wanted to see the living, he would go to the Land Temple in the west of the city alone. ”

"What else?"

"It's gone, it's gone. Seeing that Yan Yuling didn't mean to hurt himself, that person didn't have the panic just now.

Yan Yuling didn't think much about it, let go of the man and walked quickly to the land temple in the west of the city.

It's a remote suburb where a few farming families used to live, but they have all moved out in the early years, leaving a few dilapidated thatched huts that are crumbling. The land temple that has been in disrepair for a long time was built without knowing when and when it was built, standing on a wild road. Nowadays, no one comes to offer incense, and the homeless people who have already come here to spend the night at the gate have chopped it for firewood. The statues of the gods in the temple were damaged, and the dust was thick and lifeless.

Yan Yuling strode into the temple, but there was no human figure, and then shouted: "Changqing, are you there?"

"Here. Hearing the sound, a tall man turned out from behind the statue, carrying the palace chief in his hand.

Gong Changqing's nose and face were swollen from being beaten, and he almost fainted, but at this time, he raised his eyes and saw Yan Yuling coming, struggling and shouting: "Hurry up, they want to kill you, hurry up!"

The tall man casually threw Gong Changqing on the ground and said with a smile: "Young Master Yan, I finally waited for you." ”

"Who are you?" Yan Yuling asked.

"You don't have to know who I am, you just need to know that I'm an honest killer. Someone spends money to buy your head, and I take the money, so I should bring your head back and do business, honesty is important. The tall man's right hand grasped out of thin air, and a narrow and sharp thin sword was transformed, with the sword in his hand, the man's momentum also changed, standing in front of Yan Yuling as if it were two people, and it seemed to be two swords.

"Then I don't care who you are, whoever dares to touch my friend will have to pay the price. Yan Yuling rushed forward, the invisible sword qi in his hand gathered, and he opened his bow left and right, as fast as the wind.

The tall man's long sword swung and flew like a spirit snake swimming away, he watched every detail of Yan Yuling's knife intently, and after retreating three steps in a row, suddenly a sword stabbed from the oblique ground, and the sword qi vibrated and there was a slight buzzing sound.

This sword attack is subtle, and it goes straight to the point, Yan Yuling put away the offensive and quickly swung the knife to block, wanting to change the attack, but saw another sword stabbing from the upper left, and the strength was even greater.

Five swords in a row were superimposed, Yan Yuling was forced to retreat five steps, and the last sword went straight to the throat, which was the last killing move.

Yan Yuling had now retreated to the wall, and there was no room for retreat, so he had to make a mistake with both swords, and slammed into the tall man's head, taking out a desperate posture.

After all, the killer is also a life-sparing person, although the tip of the sword can almost pierce Yan Yuling's throat, but the sharp edge of the two knives has also descended to the top of his head, and he immediately avoided it after receiving it, and landed beside Gong Changqing.

The advantage of the tall man was to take Yan Yuling by surprise, and he severely suppressed Yan Yuling's offensive with unpredictable sword moves, not giving him a chance to take a breather and counterattack.

"Yes, to survive under my sword, it seems that Yan Gongzi still has some ability. The tall man reached out and gently stroked Gong Changqing's head, but said to Gong Changqing, "Are you afraid?"

Gong Changqing scolded viciously: "I'm afraid of your uncle." ”

"Look for death. The tall man's palm strained slightly.

Gong Changqing only felt that his head was cracking, and his head bones seemed to burst open immediately, and he gritted his teeth and screamed.

Yan Yu Ling saw that his closest friend was suffering from such torture, how could he still endure it, and burst out with an angry roar, "Stop!"

As soon as the words fell, the tall man suddenly moved, and the sword rain fell in the sky, bringing a strong wind.

The blade of Yan Yuling soared, and one turned over and slashed, and in an instant, thousands of knives flew out of the air, and the sound of the knife roared, like a wild beast running wildly.

"What a domineering knife technique. "The tall man's figure moved like a ghost, and wonderful sword moves were endless.

The land temple that had been in disrepair for a long time was crumbling in the battle between the two, and the top pillars above were hit by the sword qi and collapsed, and they were about to hit the palace chief who was lying on the ground.

The tall man saw the right moment and made a decisive attack with his long sword, and the great thing about this person was that he could launch the most ruthless attack in the most perfect way when the enemy showed his flaws.

If it was a month ago, Yan Yuling would definitely die if he faced this move, but now it is not, because he has already practiced the first form of ghost slashing, ghost anger slashing!

The long knife swept up, everything was silent, the long knife was cut down, and ten thousand ghosts howled angrily.

With just one sword, he slashed all the tall man's killing moves.

The layers of sword qi continued to roll, and the tall man flew away upside down with a bang, and the long sword twisted into a scrap iron and fell to the ground.

After the tall man landed, he fell four or five times in a row, blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, he never thought that the young Yan Yuling would have such a supreme technique, and now he couldn't assassinate him, so he turned around and flew away.

Yan Yuling watched the killer leave, panting and falling to the ground, this knife almost consumed all his strength, fortunately the killer was afraid, otherwise if he did it again, his life and death would be unknown.

Gong Changqing stood up and walked over slowly, sitting on the ground: "How can there be a killer to kill you?"

Yan Yuling said: "I don't know, I'm afraid it was sent by the Earth Demon Clan, the real person can avoid the eyes of the guards, it seems that he is not an ordinary killer, are you okay?"

"It's just a skin injury, a small thing. ”

Yan Yuling looked at Gong Changqing's cheeks were bruised and swollen, covered in sludge, and couldn't help laughing: "Women are really a disaster, last night was romantic, I didn't expect it to become like this today, do you say it's worth it or not?"

Gong Changqing said: "Of course it's worth it! I have never seen a woman as tasteful as Liu Ruyan in my life, although she is not very old, but she has a lot of charm, think about the ecstasy that wants to live and die last night, I think it is worth it." You say that the girl in the gentle country is coquettish, but compared with smoke, that is the difference between mud and clouds. ”

Yan Yuling looked at Gong Changqing's intoxicated expression, and hit him in the chest with one arm, "I see that you are still injured too lightly, and you are willing to break a few ribs, what is the difference between mud and clouds, that is the difference between clouds and mud." ”

"I'm a little learned, don't laugh at me. Gong Changqing touched his chin, felt a pool of blood, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and said: "Last night, I went home separately after finishing with Ruyan, and was knocked unconscious by this guy in an alley, if I wasn't in a good mood and unguarded, how could I easily let him be caught, but you must not tell my father about this matter." ”

Yan Yuling said: "Don't worry, I won't tell your father, but you can't go home with your virtue." ”

Gong Changqing said: "If it weren't for you, I would have become like this?" ”

Yan Yuling said: "There are so many guests in my house these days, are you sure you want to go to my house? Maybe your father is at my house, you will be arrested again." ”

Gong Changqing said: "That's not good, then go to Feng Gan's house, Feng Gan, this guy will definitely ridicule me when he sees me like this." ”

Yan Yuling said: "It's hard to catch your Changqing son's downfall, how can Feng Qian let go of such a good opportunity not to laugh at you, hehe, hurry up, change your clothes and then go to a doctor to check your injuries." ”

A few of their buddies have played since childhood, the relationship is extraordinary, often ridicule each other, of course, no one cares, when they were children, they usually quarreled and started to fight, one moment they had to make a fuss, hatred was different, and the next moment they began to hook their shoulders and backs, and they were embarrassed and naughty.

Yan Yuling and Gong Changqing first went to Feng Gan's house, and it happened that Feng Gan's parents went out, Gong Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, just like in his own home, he took a big bath and changed clothes, Feng Qian chattered beside him, and Palace Changqing Quan was in the ear.

Seeing that Gong Changqing was alive and well, it didn't look like he was seriously injured, so he put his mind at ease and asked Feng Qian to take Gong Changqing to the hospital for a check-up, and he planned to go home, since the killer wanted to harm himself, his brother would also be killed, Yan Lang didn't know martial arts, and he had to tell him not to go out easily these days.

Not far from Feng Qian's house, Yan Yuling met a ragged beggar head-on, the beggar bowed his head and hurried, as if he didn't see Yan Yuling, and crashed into his arms.

The beggar lowered his head and said sorry to Yan Yuling, turned around and left.

Watching the beggar leave, Yan Yuling wondered, "Why are you in such a hurry?

The beggar had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by another teenager who stretched out his hand, "Hit someone again?

Only then did the beggar raise his head, and he looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, although his face was covered with mud, his facial features were upright, and his big black eyes flashed with wit.

Yan Yuling saw that someone had inexplicably stopped the little beggar, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

The beggar glanced at the young man who stopped him, then at Yan Yuling, and casually said, "It's him who wants to find you." ”

"Who is looking for me? Is there another killer?" Yan Yuling couldn't help but turn his head violently, but there were no people coming and going on the street.

The little beggar turned around and ran, but the young man grabbed him by the neck and shouted, "You want to run, it's not that easy!" said the other hand to dig out the broken pocket on the right side of the beggar's clothes, and took out a green embroidered money bag.

Yan Yuling saw it, isn't this his money bag, this beggar turned out to be a thief!

It's not good for you to steal anyone's money, but you just stole Lao Tzu's wallet, Yan Yuling kicked the beggar's ass and said: "You guy, you don't want to beg well, you actually stole my wallet, Lao Tzu still secretly saved this money, and you stole it all like this, don't you have a painful conscience!"

The young man threw his wallet to Yan Yuling and said with a smile: "He just sneakily stole my money bag, and I caught him once, but I didn't expect that before the street was finished, he would attack you again, it's really a thief." ”

Yan Yuling stared at the little beggar and asked, "What's your name?"

The little beggar couldn't break free in the hands of the young man, and picked up his feet and scolded: "Grandpa, my name is Yuan Nansheng, no one mixes with anyone, I mess with myself, let me go quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The young man's hand was strengthened, and the beggar screamed in pain, "Oh, you light, your neck is about to break." ”

Yan Yuling asked, "Aren't you a beggar from Quling City?"

Yuan Nansheng said: "You are a beggar, I am just temporarily down, borrowing a few money from you to spend, and I didn't say that I won't pay you back, look at how you pick the door one by one." ”

The young man laughed and said: "Are you still arrogant about stealing money? What a scoundrel and cheeky person, why is it bad to do it at a young age, you have to be a thief." ”

Yuan Nansheng said: "I'll tell you again, I'm not a thief. As he spoke, he broke free from the boy's grip and ran into the crowd.

The young man looked at the beggar who had disappeared from the smoke, and did not chase after him, but said with a smile: "Don't say it, it's quite fast." ”

Yan Yuling said: "Regardless of him, no one wants to be a beggar, he must have a reason to do this." ”

The young man said, "You are quite sympathetic. ”

Yan Yuling said: "Some beggars in the city, most of them are children without parents, it's not that they want to be beggars, but they have to be beggars. Oh yes, I haven't thanked you for helping me get my wallet back, my name is Yan Yuling, I don't know what your name is?"

The boy said, "My name is Chihiro. ”

Yan Yu Ling said: "I look at you very faced, you shouldn't be from Quling City." ”

Qianxun said: "I am from the Xuanshui tribe, and I came to attend the wedding of the young city lord of Quling City." ”

Yan Yu Ling said: "No wonder, I guess you are here to attend the Yanlang wedding, you are from the Xuanshui Clan, didn't Zu Yi come along?"

Zu Yi's name is so big, any young man in Quling City knows about him? Chihiro was a little surprised, "He shouldn't have arrived yet, do you know Zu Yi?"

Yan Yuling smiled: "Don't you know, that self-righteous guy still owes me fifty taels of gold." ”

"He still owes you money? I don't think he looks like he's short of money, how can he owe you fifty gold. Your surname is Yan, so who are you?" asked Chihiro.

Yan Yuling said: "Yan Lang is my brother. ”

Ah, Chihiro just began to feel that the name Yan Yuling was a little familiar, but she didn't think of it for a while. Zu Yi had mentioned Yan Yuling on the way to Quling City, and Zu Yi said that he was the only opponent in his age group who could match him. The two had a battle a year ago and were undecided. Zu Yi also said that this time there is a chance, and he must compare the level again.

The young man who can be compared to Zu Yi is naturally also a genius-like character, but the personalities of the two are very different.

Yan Yuling was gentle and polite, with an approachable smile on his face, and he looked very easy to get along with, but Zu Yi was over-eyed and always had a haughty attitude. Compared with the two, Chihiro has a better impression of Yan Yuling.

Chihiro asked: "It turns out that you are the second son of Quling City, and you don't have any shelf, but I really don't see it, how does he owe you fifty gold?"

Yan Yu Ling said: "Zu Yi never allows anyone to surpass him, even if he is the same name, he feels ashamed, he fought with me last year, saying that he must win against me." I don't want to fight with anyone, but he won't let me go, since I have to fight, then take a lottery, I made a small bet, and the losing side gave the winner fifty gold. After more than 200 moves, he didn't decide the winner, because he stopped halfway because something happened temporarily, but you said that if he didn't win against me, didn't he lose? Wouldn't he give me fifty gold? The guy won't admit it. I just didn't give it, but when I saw him this time, I had to come back. ”

Chihiro smiled: "Being able to tie with Zu Yi is also a great exercise." ”

Yan Yuling said: "Where, my little bit of Taoism is still far behind those real masters in the continent, and there are too many places to improve." ”

The more she chatted with Yan Yuling, the more Chihiro felt that this person was easy to get along with, spoke modestly and politely, and most importantly, would not be seriously defensive and hostile towards people.

Different growth environments, will shape different characters, Quling City is in a relatively stable and peaceful environment all the year round, the conquest matters are often done by the Long Yan Army who is specifically responsible for the battle, Yan Yuling has no worries about food and clothing under the protection of the family, and grows up safely, the teenagers in the city rarely experience bloody scenes such as killing, like Gong Changqing, Feng Qian, these young henchmen, they have never heard of the cruel killing in the mainland, but they have not personally experienced the hardships of life, they are a lucky group of people in the mainland.
