The wind and snow in Shayang Town are still there.

Niu Er, who had two big gold teeth, didn't understand what attacked him yesterday, but since he was not seriously injured, today's patrol guard always couldn't escape. Before going up to the city tower, the commander gave a gag order, and he had to keep silent about the attack, so even if there were hundreds of pairs of surprised eyes looking at his bruised face, Niu Er just scratched his head embarrassedly, and explained with a smile that he had drunk too much the night before and didn't see the road clearly, and fell in front of the house and ate.

There are only the first and second two thousand-man teams stationed on the city wall, and the people of the second team know more or less some of the inside story, so no one does the stupid thing that adds fuel to the fire, and the first team has always been strict in military discipline, and you can secretly look at what you shouldn't see, but you can't ask casually if you shouldn't ask.

Even so, Niu Er still felt bad, even more unfortunate than playing cards and firing more than a dozen shots from others.

In the distance, wearing shorts and shorts, and only half of the shoes on the soles of his feet, Qingjiao, was wearing a crooked military hat, grabbing his bulging buttocks without any image, and swaying back and forth, and there were scattered footprints on a thin layer of snow, and it could be seen that the commander was absent-minded and impatient.

After a while, a good person approached Qingjiao and reminded in a half-big voice: "Boss, I'm afraid you've been fooled by the eternal night, it's cold and the people haven't come yet, just your Safu's pestle is here." ”

He straightened his tongue before he spoke. Qingjiao rolled her eyes angrily, "Yongye has something to do today, I said in advance that I would come later, don't think that Lao Tzu is in charge of you now, you can do whatever you want!"

"It is said that Lord Qingjiao treats soldiers like siblings, and today I saw that it was unexpected. A warm and mellow voice suddenly sounded on the city tower, and a man with a delicate face and long hair appeared in front of everyone in a coarse linen robe, and the man had the unique temperament of a street wanderer, which attracted the curious eyes of most of the soldiers, as if the place where the man's feet stood became a bright stage of his own.

"Lord Aoi, how come Yaxing came to see me for training, Qingjiao was flattered. The green pepper arched his hand without being salty or light, obviously not very interested in the people who came in this extraordinary period.

The commander of the third team, Aoi, folded his hands and said respectfully: "Lord Qingjiao borrowed a step to speak." ”-

Qing Jiao faced Aoi's request, and after a moment of silence, he shouted loudly: "One or two tricks are for Lao Tzu to shine a little, and Lao Tzu will go back when he goes." Then he made a "please" gesture to the downstairs of the city.

"Aoi-sama goes first. ”

Aoi took a few steps back and excused herself, "Don't dare, Lord Qingjiao will go first." ”

Green pepper let again, "It's still Aoi-sama, please first." ”

Aoi smiled helplessly and walked downstairs.

Towards the end of the year, even the border towns have a little bit of a taste of the year, and a few pieces of saffron confetti occasionally show in the thick layer of snow, which are the discarded items of nearby people who put window flowers to practice their hands.

Aoi stood quietly in the snow, he had a quiet smile, the little finger of his left hand trembled slightly, and a small paper figure suddenly stood up in the snowdrift, the paper figure danced in the fluffy snow, first crawling forward with both hands on the ground, and then babbling like a baby, and then the body was upright and relaxed, and finally bowed down slightly and panted, and was about to die.

The paper man pretending to be a dying old man bowed hard at the green pepper, and then fell to the ground like a lost soul, without half of his aura.

"Life is like a play. Aoi sighed.

"Aoi-sama's acting skills must be among the best. Qingjiao felt that it was really boring to talk to such a person, and wanted to take out a cigarette stick to swallow the clouds, but he was in a hurry to get up in the morning, and he forgot to bring the cigarette gun that never left his body today.

"Even though you and I are both cultivators, it's probably the same for a lifetime, and in the four steps of life, who can see the end. Aoi looked at the paper figure that was gradually soaked in snow and water, and said: "The old general Fujinomiya has been for the country and the people for most of his life, and finally ended up like this. ”

"I'm not familiar with the old general, the eldest young master of the Apocalypse Ye family is our direct commander, if Lord Aoi wants to beat the drum and voice his grievances, you can go to him. Green pepper choked.

"I'm not here today to complain to Lord Qingjiao. Aoi retracted her gaze from the ground, "I know that something has happened recently, since I was once favored by the old general Fujimiya, so I am also contaminated with some suspicions, Lord Mingzhe and Commander Eternal Night may have already begun to investigate me, and even our current conversation will be documented and presented to them in the future." It is precisely because of such scruples that Lord Qingjiao has such an attitude towards me, for fear of harming himself. ”

"Aoi-sama's reaction was much faster than I thought, no wonder she was so delicate and perfect in everything. Qingjiao smiled, "It's just that Aoi-sama, why is she so eager to prove her innocence? This kind of stupid thing doesn't have the calm and sophisticated style of adults in the past." ”

Aoi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Whether you are innocent or not is not something that can be said by me, Lord Mingzhe will make a decision, the reason why I am in a hurry to come to you is because something happened beyond my control, but it may be a great creation for Lord Qingjiao." ”

Qingjiao raised his eyelids and said, "Say." ”

"My turn puppet was stolen. "Aoi gets straight to the point.

"Could it be that you suspect that I stole it?" Qingjiao sneered: "Although I lose money playing cards, I don't dare to steal your things to sell." ”

Aoi seemed to be accustomed to the appearance of green peppers without a proper shape, and she was not angry in the face of ridicule, and continued: "It was the old dog who stole it, and he dressed up my turning puppet in his appearance and put it in the room for a few days, and was only discovered by his subordinates this morning." ”

"You mean the old dog has been missing for a long time?" Qingjiao's small eyes suddenly widened, like two copper bells blooming.

"The old dog has a withdrawn personality, and his subordinates are more afraid, and there is not much contact with Japan, and as long as the turning puppet is infused with vitality, it will change exactly the same as the owner, and it is really easy for the old dog to steal this thing to hide from the world. ”

"It's just that the world is so big, the old dog ran away in fear of sin, where do you let me find him. Green Pepper asked.

"I did it, I have my own way. Aoi picked up the seal with one hand, and the little paper figure buried in the snow trembled and brushed away the broken ice covering his body, and then jumped up and fell lightly on the shoulder of Qingjiao, "Lord Qingjiao will follow it, and he will find the old dog." ”

Qingjiao glanced at Aoi deeply, "Aoi-sama probably knew that the turned puppet was stolen, and it took so many days to tell me, what is the intention?"

Aoi tidied up his sleeves, and then saluted and said: "Don't dare to hide anything, people go to high places, water flows to low places, this palm-sized town is not a place for you and me to retire." Lord Qingjiao has long cultivated to the middle realm of the cave world, and has been hiding and not appearing, just to want to make a splash one day, how did you expect Lord Mingzhe to fall from the sky and sit in the seat that should belong to you, the eldest young master of the Ye family has a deep background, and he has a stable head, and Lord Qingjiao will not make any moves, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to get ahead. This time to catch the old dog is a great achievement, when the time comes, please say a few words for me. ”

Qing Jiao slapped his thick palm twice, "With Aoi-sama's ability, it's more than enough to leave here." Life is like a play, Aoi-sama not only acts well, but also writes better. ”

Aoi smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Success or failure is here, I will retire first." ”

"I don't send it. Qing Jiao watched Aoi's figure disappear into the wind and snow, he turned around three steps and made two steps to climb the city tower, the reckless wasteland outside the city was covered in silver, and he could no longer see the corpses of the past, and the cold wind of the knife slapped on Qing Jiao's chest wantonly, and there was a fire burning in the chest of this young commander who had been secretly told that he would not meet a plaything.

"Brother Niu, bring me some armor. Qingjiao gently took the little paper figure standing on his shoulder and carried it in his arms, and shouted loudly to Niu Er, whose eyebrows and eyes had turned white in the wind and snow not far away.

The diligent Niu Er quickly packed up a set of large armor to ensure that the green pepper could be put on, "Boss, what are you doing here?"

"Out of town. ”

"I can't stand this weather when I go out of the city, brothers. ”

"I go out, you don't have to come with me. Qingjiao took the armor and dressed neatly, "Get upset, go out for a walk, and catch a dog by the way." ”

Niu Er vaguely felt that Qingjiao's words were meaningful, but before he could carefully understand the meaning, Qingjiao had already stepped on the hanging tower behind the battlement.

With the intricately designed rotation of the inner walls, the hanging tower descended into the wasteland outside the city.

The spiritual paper man knew that Qingjiao had walked out of Shayang Town, so he poked out a small head with no facial features, and it jumped lightly to the ground, pointing to the road ahead.

Qingjiao was afraid that the paper man's weak body would not be able to withstand the violent frost and snow, so he only dared to let the paper man out for a moment and immediately retracted it into his arms, he walked forward in the boundless white, and the city behind him soon disappeared.

The wasteland is too big, even the cultivators of the Cave World Realm who see and hear from all directions are easy to lose their way in the ice and snow, the snow outside the city is much bigger than the inside of the city, and the color is the same in the south, east and west, and Qing Jiao is more and more annoyed that he didn't bring out the cigarette gun, otherwise this road will definitely save a lot of boring time.

I don't know how long I walked, the paper man led the green pepper to a depression, and a lot of shadows appeared in the gradually thick fog, like trees, and like strange stones, the green pepper walked closer, only to find that those shadows were many frozen corpses, the corpses were all stripped of clothes, and even the human skin was completely peeled off, and the death was extremely miserable, and there were always as many as 100 people.

The Cangyang Wasteland was chaotic, and it was not strange that anything happened, but Qingjiao always felt that there was a strong smell of conspiracy in these dead people.

"I didn't expect it to be you. ”

An old voice sounded in the thick fog, and an ugly old man with extremely long forelimbs appeared in the forest of corpses, and the old man was wrapped in a torn jacket full of holes, still showing off his thin body. The bony hands had sharp nails full of dirt, and the teeth that should have been lost long ago were as sharp as files, revealing the grandeur of the old man's breathing.

"Old dog, it's really you. Qingjiao gasped, looking at the ugly old man with a chill all over his body, as if someone had taken a bucket of snow water and poured it from head to toe.

"Why can't it be me, after so many years, I, an old man who is about to enter the coffin, should also do something useful. The old man sat down in a strange position with his hands on the ground, looking like a jackal from a distance.

No, not jackals.

It is a tiger and wolf that wants to burst out and hurt people.
