The Great Xia Dynasty, the fifth year of Chunhua, and the Rakshasa Kingdom, the ninth year of the ghost calendar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A large area in the south-central part of the dynasty has already entered autumn, and it is already the middle of July. The summer heat is gradually subsiding, the weather is getting cooler, and the streets are scattered with fallen leaves from time to time.

Xu Feng's notoriety has spread throughout the south, but the strangulation orders of the two heavyweight sects at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain are not equivalent to the official wanted warrants of the empire, nor are they the removal orders of heretics recognized by the Sanqing Daomen, Xu Feng can completely walk freely in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

One morning that was a little deserted, Li Ke sang a little song and staggered to the inn counter to settle the bill. and Xu Feng walked out of the door of the inn one after the other.

Both of them wore long shirts, and Li Ke carried a blanket on his back, looking like students who had entered Kyoto to take the Tsing Yi exam.

Unlike real scribes, both Xu Feng and Li Ke wore a bamboo hat.

This kind of bamboo-woven hat, simple and practical, not only has the function of sheltering from the rain, but also can resist the sultry autumn sun in the south, which is a very common dress in the south of the dynasty.

Of course, Xu Feng and the others wear hats, and there is another function.

The big men in Yunmengshan who wanted Xu Feng's death racked their brains, secretly recruited killers, and searched everywhere for Xu Feng's whereabouts.

They thought that Xu Feng would definitely leave for the north immediately. It was only in the north that Xu Feng's danger was alleviated to a certain extent.

After all, the north is the territory of the Sanqing Daomen. In addition, the unprovoked vendetta between cultivators will also attract the attention of Dongcheng Temple, and they will even take the initiative to intervene in the investigation.

However, they never expected that Xu Feng not only did not go north, but planned to leave Salt Lake City, cross Qingtian Gorge, and choose the first stop in Hengshui.

"The sword must be retrieved, but it must be well planned. The senior brothers of the Burning Star Tower also have to go and see it, although they may not be able to see it, the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother are very likely to have been imprisoned by the sect. ”

On the slightly quiet street, Xu Feng thought as he walked in the direction of the city gate.

Salt Lake City has finally come to a time of decline where everyone is at risk.

Only half a month ago, the natural disasters in Zhongzhou continued, a large number of displaced people flocked to the south, and countless cultivators coveted the battle of the Immortal Soul Gate to seize the treasure, and Salt Lake City ushered in the most lively and prosperous period in history.

Countless restaurants and inns are full, and every street is full of people, and the traffic is endless.

This sudden outbreak of excitement and prosperity is a kind of perverted excitement, more like a flashback before a person dies. The envoys in the city, and even the ordinary people in the city, had a bad premonition.

It's just that no one expected that this small city at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain would usher in not a drastic change of displaced people, not a fight between the rivers and lakes, but a strange scene at the moment.

The helpless homeless people are like insects that have flown away, or hidden, and there is not even a single beggar in the street.

Those who ventured out had no choice but to walk the streets, all in a hurry, as if those corpse puppets were hiding in the shadows of the city wall, ready to jump out and choose people to devour.

It was close to noon, and the sun was shining. In the empty streets, there were only a few people. It's rare to blow a breeze to ward off the heat, rolling up the hay and debris on the streets.

Xu Feng raised his eyes and looked, and in front of him was the city gate that went out of the city to the south.

The city gate is ordinary, not too high, not too wide, what a small southern city should look like.

The construction of the city gate tower, taken from local materials, is made of bluestone on Yunmeng Mountain, oblique, and also shows a majesty under the sunshine.

Looking over the towers, behind them are the rolling peaks, undulating and undulating, like dragons soaring in the sky compared to the low walls that stretch on both sides.

On the top of the cyan peak, two leisurely white clouds floated in the clear blue sky.

"Boss, there seem to be a few people over there. Li Ke said.

The gates of Salt Lake City were never guarded by soldiers, and during the allotted hours, merchants and passers-by were allowed to pass freely.

Today, however, there seemed to be a few guys standing at the door, boredly holding their arms, casually looking at the few pedestrians on the street.

"It's coming for us!" Xu Feng pressed the brim of his hat down and said calmly.

As the two spoke, several people at the city gate had begun to notice the two of them.

Li Ke heard his own heartbeat, and sweat was already oozing down his sideburns. I thought to myself: whether the boss can win or not, whether he wants to run or not.

"This gate leads to the south, and they probably wouldn't have thought we'd go south. That's why they're all small characters. Don't worry, I'll deal with these few, you don't have to run. Xu Feng said.

Li Ke nodded, squeezed out a hint of an embarrassed smile on his face, and walked forward with Xu Feng calmly.

"Stop!" said a young disciple with a sword, slashing the sword in his hand to his chest and proudly.

Only in times of crisis can a person's potential be seen, and Xu Feng intends to take this opportunity to test the little brother he has received. So he secretly gave Li Ke a look.

Everything was hidden, and the two of them could only walk towards the city gate at a normal speed.

Receiving this clear look, Li Ke was very helpless and walked forward.

"What's the matter? Li Keqiang said calmly.

"Arrest the thief, please take off your hats and cooperate. ”

"If you don't pick it up!" Li Ke spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, crossed his waist, squinted, tilted his head, and had a very unbeaten expression, which was completely the virtue of running rampant in the township.

"Uh......" The young sect disciple was obviously stunned, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was asking what was wrong with a serious attitude one moment, and the next moment it would become like this.

The remaining five sect disciples calmly surrounded them, not showing anger, in their opinion, they just ran into a ruffian hooligan, and the problem was solved with a violent beating.

Li Ke was arrogant on the surface, but in fact, his legs trembled with fright, and he hadn't seen a cultivator kill people with flying swords.

The boss asked him to go first, and he could only provoke the other party in his own way, so as to create an opportunity for the boss to make a move, Li Ke thought.

The legs that were trembling with fear were simply a naked insult in the eyes of that young disciple.

He had never been so despised since he entered, and the disciple's face was distorted, and he said coldly word by word: "When I went out today, I didn't look at the yellow calendar!"

His hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and the five people behind him actually crossed their arms with a gloating expression, I don't know if it was because the young disciple was happy to encounter a strange thing that he couldn't help himself, or because he was happy that Li Ke was about to be unlucky.

Li Ke shouted in his heart: Boss, do it, do it!

However, Xu Feng was like a stone, standing one step away, without the slightest intention of moving.

The disciple's arm and wrist holding the sword were changing their posture, and Li Ke knew that it was a sign that he was about to draw the sword.

Li Ke suddenly stood up straight, stretched out his hand to the sky, and shouted like thunder: "Slow!"

The young disciple was stunned again, and the five sect disciples around him were also startled, and when they saw the expression on Li Ke's face, they immediately burst into laughter, holding the city gate with a smile, and couldn't straighten their waists.

This shout was full of momentum, but in just an instant, Li Ke seemed to be a completely different person: nodding his head and waist, a slick face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and there was a flattering expression in every fold.

"Master, don't do it, you have something to say. This is the hat, this is the hat. ”

Li Ke's expression and movements changed so quickly that even Xu Feng was shocked in his heart.

There is no bottom line in this house, there are really such people in the world, seeing the wind makes the rudder superb.

Even the young disciple was amused.

"Hmph!" the hand holding the sword stopped, giving up the action of drawing the sword.

"Count your boy as acquaintances, so that the kid behind you also picks the hat!" said the young disciple.

The disciples in the back finally laughed enough, thinking that the matter would probably end here, with a look of excitement.

Li Ke seemed to have walked away from the ghost gate, covered in cold sweat, and said in his heart: Boss, if you don't make a move, don't blame me for being polite!

"The one in the back, you can't pick it up. Li Ke said calmly.

"Oh......"

The young disciple didn't know why. Everyone immediately realized that the matter was not over, but there was no smile on their faces.

Because Li Ke had already restrained his smile, his calm face was even a little numb. It made them feel like what they had just experienced was not a delusion. Subconsciously wondered if he had been tricked.

"I can't beat you! In front of me, you are masters! But the one behind me can beat you, so he is your master, how can anyone order his master to take off his hat, don't you say? ”

Li Ke seemed to say that the fish would swim in the water and the horses would run on the ground, calmly recounting the somewhat awkward facts.

"Brush ......"

The six blades were unsheathed at the same time, and Li Ke's heart twitched suddenly, and he closed his eyes.
