Volume 1: The Scourge of Extermination Chapter 9: Who is the Stalker?

The next morning, Lei Yue got up early and changed into the robe that Dan Yan had prepared for him, wanting to go out for a walk. After coming to the front hall, he found that this was a Dan Hall, and Danjun sat at a long table not far from the door, taking the pulse and prescribing prescriptions for the people who came to see the doctor without hurry, and patiently explained the condition and what to do. The person who got the prescription always thanked Danjun for his kindness, and then went to the counter to get the medicine.

Lei Yue looked at the people coming and going in Dantang, a little noisy, the little guy on the counter was busy running back and forth, he stood in place and became an "idler" in the way, no one paid attention to it.

"The plague has struck the neighboring town, and these people have fled. At some point, Dan Dark came to Lei Yue's side and explained to him. Lei Yue looked out of the door, and the queue outside was indeed some poor and miserable people with yellow faces and thin muscles, mostly women and children, among them, there were also middle-aged men with bleak faces lying on the ground and moaning.

Looking at the outside where the crying continued, Lei Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart, but she was helpless, so she could only sigh and say: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, once encountered, whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, you can only accept your fate." ”

The words are ruthless, but they are also true. The only difference is that ordinary people suffer from natural disasters and can only seek refuge helplessly, while cultivators accept their fate and swim against the current to find a glimmer of life.

Dan Yan himself is also a cultivator, and he still agrees with Lei Yue's statement. In the cultivation, people compete with the heavens, and maybe they will die that day, and they will not be able to complain about the heavens. Just like this time, she knew that Li Ji's betrayal was secretly caused by someone, but she couldn't avenge Hanniao.

Lei Yue no longer dwelled on the plague, turned her head and asked, "Miss Dan, is there any place around here where I can drink?"

Dan secretly put away his grief and said with a little worry: "Brother Lei Yue, your injury is not healed yet, you can't drink." ”

Lei Yue smiled: "It's okay." Dan Gongzi's rejuvenation effect is outstanding, and after taking it last night, the injuries on his body are almost scabbed. ”

Dan secretly stopped talking, and finally said: "Go out and follow the street, there is a tavern on the edge of the forbidden sea and the town, where demon hunters and cultivators from all over the world rest and exchange information. ”

"Thank you. Lei Yue said, and walked towards the door as soon as he finished speaking.

Dan secretly whispered behind him, "Little ...... Heart. Unexpectedly, Lei Yue turned around and smiled at her, which made Dan Dark's heart, which had calmed down after a night, beat violently again.

Lei Yue walked to the door, and just wanted to walk in the direction Dan secretly said, but found that there was a person who was particularly abnormal among the helpless refugees. Although he was also skinny, dressed in patched sackcloth, and his slender face was dark and dirty, it made people think that he had come from a long journey, but there was no despair and decadence in his eyes, but it was unusually clear and bright, not at all like a person who had been afflicted. The man saw that Lei Yue was looking at him, so his eyes began to dodge, and he sneakily moved his body towards the refugee pile.

Seeing this, Lei Yue couldn't help frowning slightly, slowly walked down the steps, and turned his head to look at him when he passed by the person, and the person also observed Lei Yue with a vague gaze, and the eyes of the two of them invariably retracted as soon as they made contact.

Behind Lei Yue, Dan Dian also noticed the abnormality here, pointing at that person and whispering something to Dan Jun. After hearing this, Danjun quietly wrote the prescription for the patient in front of him and handed it to him, motioned for him to go to the counter to get the medicine, and then whispered to the little boy behind him: "Take that person to the backyard." ”

......

Lei Yue walked alone on the streets of Luofeng Town, with shouting vendors and bustling pedestrians on the streets, ordinary people and martial artists with diagonal weapons, coming and going. As far as he knew, Luofeng Town was a town where martial artists and cultivators who came to the Forbidden Sea from all over the world to hunt demons or experience martial artists and cultivators gathered, the east was the critical point between the town and the Forbidden Sea, and about a hundred miles to the west was the Forbidden Sea City, and the Dan family was a big family in the Forbidden Sea City.

"What does this guest officer want?" Lei Yue casually sat at an old square table on the side of the street, and immediately a guy with a white towel on his shoulder stepped forward diligently and asked him what he wanted to eat.

"A bowl of porridge, two buns and that. Lei Yue replied.

The guy looked in the direction that Lei Yue was pointing to, and found that what he was pointing to was fried golden fritters, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his eyes, but he still shouted: "A bowl of gruel, two buns, and a fritter." After that, he immediately went to greet the other guests.

Facing the strange eyes of the vendor boy, Lei Yue could only smile bitterly, he went up the mountain at the age of six, and he had never left the ethereal in the past twelve years, although the master had taught him the worldly routines, but he couldn't do everything in everything, such as the fritters just now, he really didn't know what it was; as for the six years old, he had been living in Longque City, because of his identity, he had never even heard of this kind of market thing.

Soon, the guy brought the breakfast that Lei Yue wanted, and after putting it down, he didn't delay for a moment, and turned around to solicit other guests. Lei Yue was eating breakfast slowly, looking at the pedestrians in different costumes, and she was still in a very comfortable mood.

After eating breakfast, Lei Yue dropped a few copper plates that she had exchanged for Scarlet, glanced behind her without a trace, and then smiled and merged into the flow of people. As a result, as soon as Lei Yue walked on the front foot, someone immediately followed on the back foot.

Lei Yue walked down the street, looking east and west, like a child on the street for the first time, curiously looking at everything. The person behind him, who didn't know what he was doing, could only follow him step by step, and when he saw him stop, he immediately stood in front of the nearest stall next to him, pretending to pick something, and after Lei Yue walked forward, the man immediately followed.

Finally, Lei Yue walked into a blacksmith shop and carefully selected weapons. The most famous thing in Luofeng Town is two things, the first is the maple forest road that connects the town and the forbidden sea, as soon as it is autumn, the fiery red maple leaves fall from the maple trees on both sides with the autumn wind, and the spacious forest road is paved, it looks like a fiery red carpet from a distance, and Luofeng Town is also named after it; 。

"Dangdang!"

A few strong men were shirtless, strikingly struck the red-hot iron bars with the hammers in their hands, and the crisp sound of striking iron filled the entire shop. When one of the rough men saw Lei Yue coming in, he put down the work in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the towel on his shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "Childe, look at it casually, the swords we have here are all tempered by thousands of hammers, and they are absolutely sharpened like clay. ”

In this regard, Lei Yue smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart, he grew up in Longque City and the ethereal since he was a child, what kind of peerless divine soldier has he never seen, plus his grandfather himself is the premier swordsmith in the original realm, these swords made of mortal iron in front of him may be rare treasures in the eyes of ordinary people, but for him they are tantamount to a pile of scrap iron. It's just that the Soul Eater Sword was placed in the Dantang by him, and he didn't have a self-defense artifact at hand, so he always felt uncomfortable, so he came in and wanted to choose a weapon.

"Huh?" Lei Yue finally locked his eyes on the innermost dagger, this dagger was no more than half a foot long, two fingers wide and narrow, the blade exuded a cold aura, and the sword body was decorated with star-like jade, whether it was tempered or quenched, it was a superior craftsmanship. It can be seen that the craftsmanship of the people who cast it must be extraordinary.

The shirtless man saw that Lei Yue was full of interest in this dagger, so he introduced: "Childe really has vision, this dagger is called 'Cold Light', and it is the only third-grade forging master in the Forbidden Sea City to create it using Shengyuan Iron, and it is engraved with inscriptions with the attributes of gold and water. ”

Lei Yue took off the "cold light", and flicked his left hand, and the entire sword body emitted a violent shock and a piercing humming sound. It can be seen that the man is not lying, the sharpness of the "cold light" is indeed excellent, but the inscription engraved on the sword body is too rough, resulting in the extraordinary material of the "cold light", which can only be known for its sharpness.

"I didn't expect to meet such a dagger here, which is rare. Lei Yue held the "cold light" in his hand and said with satisfaction.

Seeing that Lei Yue was a knowledgeable person, the shirtless man grinned and said, "Don't hide it, son, only I have the best weapons in Luofeng Town, and the rest of the places are not comparable to me at all." ”

Lei Yue didn't pay attention to the braggado of the strong man, handed him the "cold light" and said, "How much is it, I bought it." ”

"Okay. The strong man took the dagger, ordered a servant to take off the scabbard of "Cold Light" from the counter, closed it, handed it back to Lei Yue, and said, "Childe, give, a total of 1,800 taels of silver." ”

Lei Yue took the "cold light", quietly put it into the sleeve, and then took out two silver tickets of one thousand taels from his arms and handed them to the strong man. The strong man hurriedly took the silver ticket, and found the silver ticket of Lei Yue's two hundred taels, and then sent him out respectfully.

As soon as Lei Yue walked out of the door, the person who was following him just now immediately followed. Lei Yue squinted at the back of her, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and then walked faster and faster, and finally turned into a small alley. The person who followed him saw that Lei Yue had disappeared, and hurriedly followed, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded, this was a dead end, and Lei Yue disappeared as if out of thin air, and he didn't go out, but he couldn't see his trace.

"Damn. The man said indignantly, "I lost it!"

As a result, he was about to turn away when a cold object landed on his waist. Then, Lei Yue's lazy voice came from behind: "Say, who sent you?"

The man immediately threw up his hands and knelt down, trembling and said, "Don't, don't kill me!"

Lei Yue withdrew the "cold light", stood behind him and continued to ask: "If you want to live, tell me, who sent you?"

The man swallowed and whispered, "Two...... Second master. ”

"Second Master?" Lei Yue frowned and asked puzzledly, "Who is the Second Master?"

"Dan...... The second master of the Dan family, Dan Feng. The man replied.

Lei Yue was stunned, hearing that this surname should be from the Dan family, but he saved the young lady of the Dan family in the forbidden sea, why did this Dan Feng send someone to follow him?

"Big ...... Uncle, don't kill me. Seeing Lei Yue standing in a daze, the man thought he was thinking about whether to kill him, so he quickly begged for mercy.

"Get out!" Lei Yue retracted the "cold light" and said to the man.

After receiving the forgiveness, the man didn't dare to slack off and ran away, leaving Lei Yue still thinking about the Dan family's intentions. In the end, Lei Yue, who had no clue, chose to give up thinking and ran directly to the tavern that Dan Yan said.
