Yunzhou is divided into nine counties. After coming out of the Lianyun Mountain Range, he entered the range of Dongyuan County.

As far as the eye can see, the terrain gradually becomes flattened. The towering peaks are gone, and the trees are no longer sheltering from the sky.

"It's finally out!" Li Qing sighed. This was the first time in his life that he had left the Lianyun Mountains and came to the outside world. I don't know what kind of excitement will be here.

Their destination, Yunzhou City, is located in the center of Yunzhou, which is still far away. After identifying the direction, they continued on their way, at a fast pace, and tried to reach it as soon as possible.

I walked for most of the day, and I didn't even see half a figure along the way. Li Qing couldn't help muttering: "Why don't there seem to be many people outside." ”

Liu Ke'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, you haven't reached a crowded place yet." ”

......

In the evening, they finally saw a village in front of them, and they couldn't help but be very happy.

"Finally I saw people. It's getting dark, so let's stay in this village for the night. Li Qing said.

After the agreement was made, they went to the village. Passing by the entrance of the village, I saw a stone tablet there that read: "Guhe Village." "I guess that's the name of the village.

Walking into this village, it is very quiet inside, with smoke curling, strange traffic, and chickens and dogs smelling each other. Houses are nestled in the middle, and they are scattered.

Under the oblique glow of the sunset, a beautiful landscape painting is formed, but it has a unique flavor and is full of rich life atmosphere.

They came to the door of a small farmhouse courtyard, and Li Qing stepped forward and knocked lightly.

After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and an honest appearance came out.

Li Qing arched his hand and said politely: "The two of us are passing through here, and we want to find a place to spend the night, I wonder if it is convenient?"

The middle-aged man looked at the two people in front of him for a while, and saw that they were talented and beautiful, but they didn't look like bad people, smiled slightly, and said sideways: "Of course you can, please come in." ”

The yard is very large, and there are some chickens and ducks, croaking and croaking, which is very lively. When I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged woman and a child sitting in the house, and the room was very tidy, with tables and wooden stools, wiped clean.

The middle-aged woman also looks honest, wearing a plain coarse cloth dress. The child, who was about five or six years old, was staring with wide eyes and curious as two strangers came in. The man explained the situation to his wife, and the hostess warmly welcomed the guests and poured them a cup of hot tea.

The child said loudly, "Big sister is so beautiful, is she a fairy in the sky?"

Everyone laughed, and Liu Ke'er pinched the child's face and said, "Little brother is so cute!

"My name is Little Tiger Head!" said the child, in a milky voice.

"It's so cute. She touched Little Tiger's head and teased him.

They sat down and chatted for a while. After talking, I learned that this place is indeed called Guhe Village, and the people in the village are basically surnamed Gu, and the middle-aged man is called Gu Yunjin.

In the vicinity of Furukawa Village, there are many other villages, which are connected. Further east, there is a city called Dongchang City, which is the largest city in this area.

During this period, Gu Yunjin revealed one more thing, saying that there was a gang of horse thieves nearby, known as the Black Wind Cottage, who often robbed nearby villages and collected protection fees, and was very arrogant and unscrupulous.

"Oh, how many of them are there?" asked Li Qing.

"I heard that there are hundreds of people, led by the three masters, all of whom are powerful masters, and there is no one nearby who is their opponent. Gu Yunjin said in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, "In addition, I just got the news today that Santai Village, which is dozens of miles away nearby, refuses to pay protection money. I never thought that this Black Wind Cottage would be so mad that it slaughtered all the thousands of people in Santai Village!"

"What? Slaughter Village!" Li Qing was shocked, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen, these horse thieves are really damned!

"Isn't there anyone in charge?" he asked, angry in his heart.

"Who's going to care? There's no way. Our place is not very important at all, who will be full of food and nosy. Gu Yunjin sighed and said, "The entire Dongyuan County has always been very chaotic. There are three major cities and dozens of important towns in the county, each of which has been conquering for many years. They can't handle their own affairs, so how can they care about our life and death. ”

"The world out there is so chaotic. Li Qing couldn't help but sigh. In the Lianyun Mountain Range, the main source of danger is demon beasts. Outside, the source of danger is humans, who are sometimes more terrifying and cruel than monsters.

"You must be careful when you walk on the road, don't meet this group of horse thieves, otherwise there will be more and less luck, especially since this girl is so beautiful and eye-catching. Gu Yunjin admonished.

Li Qing nodded, but said secretly in his heart: "Don't let me meet this group of horse thieves! If you do, you will definitely kill them all." ”

At night.

The night in the countryside is very quiet and peaceful, and the surroundings are pitch black, and occasionally one or two barking dogs can be heard.

Li Qing and Liu Ke'er were lying on a bed, separated by a distance.

There were not many houses in this family, and there was only one room empty, so they stayed in this room for the night. It doesn't matter to them, it's not the first time anyway.

"I really want to find a chance to kill all those horse thieves!" Li Qing was uneasy, and every time he thought of the slaughter of the village, he was angry in his heart.

"If you want to do it, do it. Whatever you do, I'm for it. Liu Ke'er looked at him gently.

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and be very troublesome. Li Qing sighed, "Let's talk about it later, I will do it when I have the opportunity." Maybe you will encounter these horse thieves on the way, so you can deal with them. ”

There are so many injustices in this world that it is impossible to take care of everything. It's only easy to do it when you encounter it, and you can do your best.

Nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning, Li Qing and Liu Keer got up early. When he came to the courtyard, he saw that the mistress was already busy there.

"Did you sleep well last night?" she asked.

"Good. Li Qing nodded and smiled.

When I walked out of the courtyard, I saw that in the open space of the village, there was already a group of strong men practicing there, and Gu Yunjin was also there.

"Drink!"

"Hah!"

Strong men are practicing marksmanship, knife skills and boxing skills, etc., and some people are carrying stone locks, rolling iron balls and other heavy objects to boil their strength. These people are strong, shirtless, sweating profusely and panting.

The women, on the other hand, are doing laundry, cooking, taking care of the children, and many other household chores.

The men contribute to the protection of the village, while the women let the men have no worries and have a clear division of labor.

Li Qing walked over and looked at it with interest for a while. When Gu Yunjin saw Li Qing, he stopped practicing, walked over, wiped his sweat and said, "Now we have to train every day to improve our self-protection ability." Especially after the news of the horse thieves slaughtering the village, the villagers trained even harder so as not to have no resistance when they encountered horse thieves. ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "Where did you learn all these marksmanship and knife moves?"

Gu Yunjin smiled and said: "How can this be learned, this is some of the crop patterns that our village has figured out by itself, it is not worth mentioning, it makes you laugh." ”

Li Qing also smiled, this is indeed the case. The moves are very rough, and it doesn't work if you practice them.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm good at swordsmanship, maybe I can teach you a set of swordsmanship." I wonder if you're willing to learn?"

"Sword Technique!" Gu Yunjin's eyes lit up and said, "If that's the case, then it's great!" He didn't think that Li Qing would lie to him, because it was no good, and Li Qing gave people the impression that he was extraordinary, and he should be a capable person.

Saying that, Gu Yunjin couldn't wait to walk to the middle of the martial arts training ground and shouted to everyone: "Everyone stop, I have something to say." ”

Everyone stopped and looked at Gu Yunjin. I only heard him say: "I have a friend who is good at swordsmanship and wants to teach everyone a set of swordsmanship, so let's come and learn it." ”

When they heard this, they all gathered around and saw Li Qing. A young man was not convinced, and said, "This person is so young, how powerful can he be? ”

Li Qing smiled slightly, not angry, and said, "If you are not convinced, I can try it with you." ”

"Okay! The young man had no ill intentions, just impulsiveness. That's the way things are done in the village, go straight to the point, and if you don't accept it, you bring it up directly.

The two stood in the middle of the field, and the young man shouted, "Be careful, look at the knife!" This knife is quite fast, and the strength is enough, which is very good for ordinary people.

Li Qing didn't care, stretched out his hand, and the knife flew out, and then a palm was printed, hitting the young man's chest, knocking him out.

It's easy, and the winner is decided.

"That's amazing!" everyone was shocked. They could all see that Li Qing didn't even use much force to knock down the young man, and his strength must not be weak, and they couldn't help but admire it in their hearts.

The young man fell to the ground, but he was not injured, stood up, and was also very convinced, and said, "You are so powerful, a hundred times stronger than me." It's me who can't do it anymore. ”

Now that they have been convinced, Li Qing stopped talking nonsense and began to practice a set of knife techniques. Everyone watched intently, lest they miss a single action.

The set of sword techniques he taught was, of course, the basic sword techniques he learned on Yanyang Peak. He has practiced this set of knife techniques for many years, and he has long been familiar with it. Although it is only the foundation, it has been tempered by Yanyang Peak for countless years, and the essence knife style finally formed is many times better than the crop handle style in Guhe Village.

Moreover, this set of knife techniques is not difficult to learn, but it is used to lay the foundation, which is suitable for them.

If you want to talk about higher-level sword skills, Li Qing can also do it, but they can't pass it on, and they can't learn it.

Next, Li Qing spent a morning teaching them this set of basic knife techniques. I believe that they continue to practice this set of knife techniques, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

After doing these things, Li Qing was about to leave. The villagers asked him to stay for a few more days. However, Li Qing has something important to do and must leave.

Just as Li Qing and Liu Ke'er were about to leave, suddenly, there was a big earthquake.

"The sound of horses' hooves!" everyone's faces changed dramatically.
