The morning light was shining, the stars were dim, and it was another busy day, and Jiang He sat by the river, waiting for the slender men to pull the big boat to the shore, and in his hand he had a broken book that the blind man had given him last night. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info wanted to turn over last night to take a look, but the oil lamp in the courtyard was too dim, coupled with the appearance of the blind man chattering deeply, he carefully put it away and waited until there was no one around him at this moment to take it out.

The blind man packed up his luggage and left early this morning, saying that he wanted to travel all over the world, and the old bow told him to shave his hair and go again, but the blind man was annoyed, saying that he could not compare himself with those bald donkeys.

But in the end, no one stopped him, they all let him go, only Jianghe gave him a ride.

The book in Jiang He's hand looks very thick, in fact, there are not a few pages with words, and most of the pages with content in the back have not been torn off by anyone, and some places on the pages with words are stained by ink and cannot be seen clearly. The blind man also said to himself that he was hunted down and killed, and it was not easy to leave this old book on the way to escape, and as for the oil stains that were accidentally smeared during meals, don't pay too much attention to them.

Jiang He roughly flipped over, this was like a sword book, he was holding a book, holding a wooden stick in his right hand, he gently stroked according to the sword book, and the wooden stick in his hand was dancing a little nondescriptly.

On the first page of the sword book, there are three big characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: "Haoyue Sword Technique"

The river faced the fog of the early morning and the wind on the river, gently waving the wooden stick, there was no moon at the moment, the endless river was only accompanied by the starlight that had not yet dissipated, the river was silent, thinking, some places could not be read, he could not ask, only the sound of Jiang Tao beating the riverbank came quietly.

The river turned back, and the place that was smeared with oil was faintly written "Three Qing Qi Refining Mantra". Jiang He was suddenly a little excited, looking at the text description below, he found that this was actually the mantra of the cultivation method, Jiang He thought that he could also try to step into the path of cultivation that was said to be miraculous?

He couldn't help but be a little fascinated, and raised his hand to twist the page and flipped it back, only to find that the back was empty, except for some of the torn corners left by the page. Jiang He was dumbfounded, and hurriedly flipped back again, but there were also some white papers behind him, only stains of oil but not a word.

After a long time, Jiang He sighed leisurely, if he could make a sound, he must say loudly: "I." ”

The big boat that came from afar finally came to shore, like a big fish stranded, and stopped weakly by the river.

Jiang He put away his books and walked to the boat, and the day's work would begin again.

。

When the lights were on and the sun was setting, Jiang He dragged his tired body back to the small courtyard, and took a shower with buckets of well water, and the hot weather still made people feel bored.

The white smoke in the courtyard began to flutter again, and a table of food was placed on the table hot, Jiang He knew that his cooking skills were poor, so he did not participate in the process of cooking, he still sincerely enjoyed the results, although he had to pay for the dishes every time, but he was still willing to have fun.

Just as the river was quietly eating and drinking, a team of people and horses rolled up all the dust towards this quiet village, like a dust storm that kicked up the quiet dust and sand, and the quiet night of the village was completely broken.

The moon is bright, and the clouds are not visible.

The door of the small courtyard was kicked open, Jiang He turned around and looked at the courtyard door, a black thing was thrown in, and it rolled on the ground a few times, everyone put down the bowl in their hands and looked out of the courtyard in dismay, a shirtless giant man walked into the courtyard with a torch.

By the light of the fire in his hand, everyone saw that the thing rolling on the ground turned out to be a round and terrifying human head, and its eyes glared as if with endless unwillingness.

Jiang He was startled, the owner of the head was the boatman who had been drinking with him just now, and he was smiling and saying that he went out to pee just now, but when he said goodbye, he was already separated.

All the boatmen looked at each other angrily, but none of them dared to rush forward, because more and more people walked into this narrow courtyard, and in the blink of an eye more than a dozen people came to the gate of the courtyard, all of them naked, with iron knives in their hands, and the pungent and terrible smell of blood came from their bodies. Outside the courtyard, there were horses neighing, and screams and cries came from the courtyard of the grass hut not far away.

This group of sturdy men were shocked by the murderous aura on their bodies at this moment, and the blood beads dripping from the knife edge made people look chilling, and the pungent blood smell was a little disgusting.

Seeing that the government had been severely suppressed recently, and that the wilderness and mountains had been filled with officers and soldiers, this group of bandits who were active in the wilderness and mountains went the opposite way and came to the nearest village to rob the city. This village is only three miles away from Dushui City, if it is in the daytime, the soldiers guarding the city can see the village houses here, I have to say that this group of people is really bold!

"If you don't want to die, stand up for me!" The leading man shouted angrily with a knife and stared at the people in the courtyard with big round eyes.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly put down the rice bowl in their hands, and then got up from the stool, Jiang He stood in the crowd, frowned slightly, and then stood up as well, but the rice bowl in his hand had not yet been put down. Because it has braised pork that he likes very much tonight, it is the first dish he likes after coming here.

The big man took the knife, stood in front of the table, and then stepped on a bench and said viciously: "I don't want your life today, as long as you take out the money, it's all right." ”

He picked at the already coagulated blood clot on the handle of the knife again, then raised his hand and pointed to the human head on the ground and continued: "Of course, don't think about running around, it will make me look annoying, and the end will be the same as him." ”

The shouting and crying in the distance seemed to be quieter, and it should be the same as the situation in this courtyard, silently accepting the threats and extortion of this group of bandits, at this time, the only choice is to pay money and live.

Jiang He frowned again, the thirty yuan on his chest was all the family property left after he paid the rent of one hundred yuan, lying in the money bag on Jiang He's waist without weight. He didn't want to eat those stinky steamed buns anymore, thinking of this, he quietly stretched his chopsticks behind his back, and the man in front of him blocked his figure.

Jiang He looked up at the fierce bandits, and no one noticed this thin young man, Jiang He's hand behind his back was lightly broken, and a short piece of chopsticks was broken in the palm of his hand.

The first man took out the silver money in his arms, and more and more people followed and threw the silver taels to the ground, Jiang He was still holding the bowl, standing behind unmoved, and no one noticed that a piece of chopsticks was wrapped in the wick on an oil lamp, and it fell on the firewood and straw stack in the backyard as if it were burning.

At the east gate of Dushui City, the guard tower on the city wall, the soldiers were bored to drive away the annoying mosquitoes, it was always sad to stand guard in the summer, and the mosquitoes disturbed people and couldn't be lazy and dozed off, he yawned, waved the branches in his hand and continued to drive away the mosquitoes buzzing around him.

A moth threw itself into the fire, then flapped its wings and fled with all its might, bringing up a flame that fell on the hay at the soldier's feet, and a flame ignited softly. The soldier hurriedly raised his foot to extinguish the flame, which could cause a fire if left unchecked in such weather.

The soldier stepped on it a few more times, until the flame was completely extinguished, and there was not even a spark to be seen, and then he looked up with confidence, and suddenly he saw a fire shining brightly in the distance, like an oil lamp in the dark night, and like a flickering star in the sky, and he couldn't really see it.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, the fire in the distance seemed to be getting bigger and brighter, he rolled his nervous and dry throat, then turned around and shouted under the city wall, "Jinjia Village is on fire!!"
