Chapter 19 Toothpicks

The moment Aunt Ye saw An Zheng pull down the wine flag, there was a complicated emotion in her eyes. There was an indescribable vicissitudes and sadness in her expression, which contrasted sharply with her delicate countenance. It's a kind of sadness that makes people get infected even if they look at it. Like the twilight snow in the distant mountains, although it is far away, it is pressed in my heart.

An Zheng turned around and glanced at Kou Ba, who had been split in two by himself.

At this moment, Aunt Ye hid all the feelings in her eyes. She walked out of the tavern with a straight face, and then grabbed the wine flag from An Zheng's hand: "You go, don't come again." ”

She snatched the wine flag back, and then, like a pilgrimage, held the wine flag in both hands sincerely, and reinserted it back into the original place. The wine flag still swayed lightly with the breeze, but it seemed to be a little less spiritual. I don't know why, An Zheng seems to hear someone sigh.

"That sword could have killed immortals, but it was a pity that you killed an ant, a pity. ”

An Zheng didn't know if this was his delusion, but at that moment just now, he had no choice.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists: "I'm sorry." ”

Aunt Ye didn't look back: "I don't blame you, but you don't need to come again." ”

An Zheng knew that what he had touched Aunt Ye was not the sword he borrowed from the wine flag, but someone who put the sword on the wine flag. Although An Zheng's cultivation is not there, his eyesight is still there, and he knows how strong the sword intent is, and when it is strong, it is strong. That sword, faintly, has a fairy aura that is beyond the world. And the most terrifying thing is that there is not only this sword on the wine flag.

So the person who secretly sent the sound into An Zheng's ears saw it wrong, that sword was not a unique product. The sword was still on top of the wine flag, but the man thought that what was hidden in the wine flag was only a sword intent, but he didn't know that what was hidden on the wine flag was the sword soul of a person who cultivated the sword.

An Zheng saw that on the corner of Nanshan Street, there was a scholar in a cloth shirt walking with his hands in his hands. The back is a little lonely and a little depressed.

An Zheng didn't know who it was, but he was sure that it was a scholar who spoke to him just now.

"That sword could have slashed immortals. ”

This sentence still echoed in An Zheng's mind.

Immortal?

An Zheng sighed in his heart that there are really immortals in this world? Someone once said that above the Great Heaven Realm, there are immortals. Dedicated to the Nine Heavens World, immortal and immortal. Between gestures, you can pick up the stars. But in this vast world, with the experience and knowledge of An Zheng, he has never seen or heard about it, who can cultivate the perfection of the Great Heaven Realm. An Zheng had reached the ninth rank of the Little Heaven Realm, and he was within reach of the Great Heaven Realm, but that was already his bottleneck, and it was difficult to take half a step forward.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Great Xi Dynasty is rumored to have reached the Great Heaven Realm, but that is just a legend. An Zheng had never seen His Majesty the Holy Emperor make a move, so there was no way to judge how strong his cultivation was. There are also rumors that the ancestor who created the Great Xi Dynasty and also has the word Xi in his name may be the only peerless powerhouse in the world who has reached the consummation of the Great Heaven Realm.

But he died after all, and he didn't die or die.

An Zheng didn't know if there were immortals, and he didn't know where they were even if there were immortals. He only knew that even if there was an immortal in this world, that immortal was also a cold-blooded person. There are many injustices and evils in the world, and the immortal has never taken care of them. If he cultivates the immortal fruit, but is beyond the world, An Zheng feels that this immortal is just a selfish villain, and he does not have the mind that a great cultivator should have.

Killing Kou Ba was an unexpected thing.

He knew that Dakoutang and the Chen family had reached the point of tearing their faces, and he also knew why Chen Shaobai hid in the Jushang Courtyard and didn't come out. But he didn't expect that the people of Dakoutang could actually force the Chen family to that point. According to An Zheng's speculation, the strength of the Chen family should be far stronger than that of Dakoutang. Now Chen Shaobai hid in the Jushang Courtyard, and Kou Ba blatantly stopped An Zheng on the street and asked An Zheng to kill Chen Shaobai, and he was not afraid of the people of the Chen family at all, obviously the trouble encountered by the Chen family was much bigger than expected.

An Zheng thought as he walked forward, and finally figured out that yes, how could the enemy of the Chen family be the Great Kou Tang? The Great Kou Tang was just a superficial existence, and the people who really wanted to destroy the Chen family were those who couldn't see it. The Chen family's industry is much larger than that of Dakoutang. Therefore, if the Great Kou Hall is destroyed, the Chen family's industry will be even greater. But if the Chen family is destroyed, Dakoutang is still not worth mentioning, and those people can snatch a lot of benefits from the destroyed Chen family.

Dakoutang is just a knife, and it's not sharp. The ones who are really sharp are those who are hiding in the shadows.

An Zheng killed Kou Ba, and Da Kou Tang couldn't tolerate him. So Kou Liu, who had previously wanted to take An Zheng as an apprentice, was afraid that the next time he saw An Zheng, he would kill him.

Kou Liu came faster than expected, so fast that An Zheng had not yet reached Jushangyuan, although he had already seen the gate of Jushangyuan.

At the gate of Jushang Courtyard, the two welcoming servants were still standing there, not squinting. It was as if Kou Liu, who was standing in the middle of the street, was air, and he wouldn't attract their attention in the slightest. In fact, this is exactly why a small guy like them can receive so much silver in a month. They know very well that as long as it doesn't involve Jushangyuan, then whoever dies or lives has nothing to do with them.

"Mr. Six. ”

An Zheng leaned down to give a salute, just like he saluted Kou Ba, and he couldn't find fault with it at all.

"You surprised me and opened my eyes. ”

Kou Liu stood there, looking at An Zheng with a calm face: "I really didn't expect that those disciples who were carefully taught in my academy were all rubbish compared to you. And you've been hiding under my nose for so long, I didn't even see that you were a piece of jade. This is what I regret the most, if I had found you earlier, you should have been polished into a piece of jade in the Great Kou Hall, dazzling. ”

An Zheng shook his head: "Dakoutang can't polish me, if you polish me out, you will destroy me." ”

Kou Liu was slightly stunned, and then clapped his hands: "Good ambition!"

An Zheng asked, "Mr. Six is going to kill me too?"

Kou Liu shook his head: "I'm here to kill Chen Shaobai." ”

An Zheng sighed: "Mr. Six also shot an arrow, but he didn't necessarily kill the target, and he may have been cut off by someone halfway by an arrow." ”

Kou Liu smiled, but he was quite carefree: "I am indeed an arrow that has been shot, and there is no turning back." You're not stupid, you should know that at this point, it's no longer something that Da Koutang can control. As you said, Da Kou Tang is too weak, there is a hand behind him, he pulled the bow, and treated everyone in Da Kou Tang as an arrow, shooting them out one by one, and the arrows did not look back. ”

"So, I'm reluctant to kill you. ”

Kou Liu said: "I used to feel sorry for myself, and I felt that this world was unfair to me. Why are some people born with cultivation and I can't? I have practiced so hard that I have only achieved a small degree of physical practice. There is a saying that my heart is higher than the sky, and I am like that. ”

He looked at An Zheng: "You say, I'm not as hard as others?" Since I was six years old, I have been practicing every day before the sun rises, and by the time I was sixteen, twenty-seven wooden stakes were broken. My father told me that people are not born high or low, and that the first birth is always a starting point. So even if you are poor, as long as you are willing to work hard, twice as hard as the children of those big families, you will succeed. If double doesn't work, then double. Twice as bad, then quadruple. If it doesn't work, then not eating or sleeping, you can always make up for it. ”

"But then I learned that my father had lied to me. No matter how hard you try the day after tomorrow, if you can't do it, you can't do it. ”

He pointed to his heart: "When I was young, I wanted to be a general, lead a hundred elite soldiers, sweep the world, and seek fairness in the road." Later, I realized that this world is not so simple. When I was young, I wanted to be a chivalrous man, walking with a sword, killing people for thousands of miles, eliminating all the injustices in the world, and killing all the evildoers in the world. Later, I became a wicked person, and there was no one in the big coar, just a grass coward, and the word "big coward" was just self-deception. ”

He turned around and walked towards Jushangyuan.

An Zheng asked behind him, "Have you ever regretted doing evil?"

Kou Liu shook his head: "I don't regret it, I just hate myself for not being evil enough." ”

An Zheng was silent.

Kou Liu walked to the door of Jushang Courtyard and looked back at An Zheng: "The self-proclaimed Da Kou has never been just the last abandoned child of other people's chess pieces. Legend has it that as long as there are twelve spirit stones, plus the help of a strong man in the realm of Sumeru, you can wash the marrow and change the body to cultivate the avenue. I don't have a chance, Anzheng, you're still young, you have a chance. Remember, if you can practice, it doesn't hurt to indulge the rest of the world. ”

An argued: "I am not you, so you don't need to pin your unfinished business on me. ”

Kou Liu's face changed, and then he stopped talking.

"Dakoutang Yu Zhongzhong visited Jushangyuan. ”

Kou Liu shouted with his fists inside the gate of the Jushang Temple.

An Zheng stood in the distance, watching quietly.

"What do you want?"

Someone in the courtyard asked.

Kou Liuliu replied loudly: "Kill Chen Shaobai." ”

Someone in the Jushang Temple spoke: "When you enter the door of the Jushangyuan, you are a guest of the Jushangyuan." Your affairs are outside the door. If you want to go in and kill someone, you will not kill your enemy, but the name of Jusshoin. So I advise you to be patient and wait, and wait until you want to kill someone out of the door, and then you will kill again. ”

"When will he come out?"

"I don't know, when the guests leave, they will leave. Guests who can enter the gate of Jushangyuan will not rush out. ”

Kou Liudao: "Then I can't wait, I have a wife and concubine at home, and it is in the hands of others." I wait, they don't wait. ”

The people of Jushangyuan replied: "These have nothing to do with Jushangyuan, if you don't wait, you will die when you enter the door." ”

Kou Liudao: "Then I'm sorry, forgive me for offending." ”

He drew the knife from behind, and it was made of stainless steel, and it looked cold. He began to walk towards the gate of Jusshoin. Two welcoming servants stood there, frowning.

Kou Liu took the first step, and nothing happened. He calmed down a little, and then walked on. The second step is that nothing happens. In the third step, his foot stepped on the threshold of the gate of Jushangyuan, and then a blue light flew out from the door of Jushangyuan, like a crescent moon. The blue light flashed away, and Kou Liu lost his legs.

The blue light sliced his thighs off from the roots, so he looked suddenly half shorter. Kou Liu snorted, put the steel knife in his hand in his mouth and bit it, and crawled forward with both hands. As soon as his hand touched the threshold of Jushangyuan, the blue light reappeared, and his arms were severed by Qi Brush.

Kou Liu's teeth bit out a row of tooth marks on the steel knife, and he lay there without limbs, like a bloody piece of meat-worm. He let out a roar from his throat, his jaw pressed against the ground, and then pulled half of his body forward.

"Why bother?"

Someone in the Jushang Courtyard sighed, and then the blue light flew out again, directly piercing Kou Liu's skull.

With a bang, Kou Liu's knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The blue light floated there and didn't move, hovering in the doorway. Later, the blue light dissipated, and a very small object fell next to Kou Liu's corpse.

An Zheng walked closer and found that it was a bloody toothpick.
