Ping'an Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all of which are overgrown with maple trees, and because of the special geographical pattern, it is naturally given the reputation of "Mountain City" and "Maple City".

In the woods forty miles away from the town, a figure was crouching in the middle of the trees.

The wind blows, and the maple leaves beat against each other, stirring up a sound like a thin wave.

The figure crouched in front of a pile of humanoid minced meat, and from time to time a strange laugh came out of its mouth, which was particularly frightening in such a moonlit autumn night.

Ning Hao accidentally killed the young man with his teeth today, but because of this, he obtained a trace of the man's blood and his memory.

The dead man's real name was Zhang Mingjue, and he was the only son of Zhang Li, the extremely famous "sword god" on the rivers and lakes.

Legend has it that Zhang Li was once instructed by immortals when he was young and was taught three styles of swordsmanship. With these three styles of swordsmanship, he fought all over the world invincible, and was even given the title of "Sword God".

As the only son of the "Sword God", Zhang Mingjue lived a life of being held in the palm of his hand by the people around him as soon as he was born, and he has developed the current character of being in the sun. As for these hurtful things he did behind his father's back, I can't say whether the sword god knows about it or not, but whenever he causes trouble outside, people who know his father will give him face.

Ning Hao was too fast during the day, and he didn't let the young man say his father's name at all, in fact, even if he said it, Ning Hao wouldn't care.

What "Sword God" and "Sword Saint", the moves of people in the martial arts are not powerful enough, and they think that they will be bluffed if they make their names fierce and their names more gorgeous?

Ning Hao has always been dismissive of this kind of martial arts person.

These are not important things, what Ning Hao really pays attention to is the purpose of the young man coming to Taiping Town.

In Zhang Mingjue's memory, there are indeed immortals in this world.

There was also a real immortal who taught his father's swordsmanship, and gave Zhang Li a jade pendant, telling him that if he had children in the future, he could come to Taiping Town with the jade pendant in September this year, or have a chance to enter the immortal gate.

Unexpectedly, it took no effort to get it, and the opportunity that Ning Hao had been so desperate to enter the Immortal Gate was actually known to him in such a way.

"No wonder there are a lot of strange people who have come to Taiping Town in the past few days, it turns out that it is because of this, it seems that there is not only one person who has received the jade pendant. ”

Ning Hao pondered for a moment, there were still a few days before September passed, and he was going to secretly take a look at the situation.

"It seems that my previous analysis is not wrong, sure enough, something big is about to happen! What should I do, I feel that my wisdom has improved again!" Ning Hao's thoughts finally had an eyebrow, and he was in a good mood, and he returned to his former playful nature.

He walked back proudly, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to enter the immortal gate, and he couldn't help but laugh when he walked.

Ning Hao hummed a little song, and was about to walk out of the jungle, but when he didn't pay attention, he seemed to have tripped over something under his feet and fell to the ground.

With Ning Hao's current strength and coordination, he will not be able to walk steadily, and he will also trip over things, I am afraid that no one will believe it when he says it.

Ning Hao got up from the ground, and he didn't understand why he fell just now. He looked back and saw as if a figure was lying under a tree, asleep.

Without Ning Hao getting closer, a strong smell of wine had already penetrated into his nose, and it was not good if his sense of smell was too acute, so that Ning Hao coughed.

"The drunkard from there!" Ning Hao frowned, looking at the tattered clothes on the drunkard's body, but he also lost the mind to deal with him.

Ning Hao just turned around to leave, and felt that something was wrong, with his own cultivation and coordination, even if he ran on the cliff, he would not fall, with his own strength, the stones kicked by himself should be broken, why did the drunk man seem to have nothing to do at all?

When he turned his head again, he felt the hairs stand on end.

I saw that there was nothing around me, but there was not a single figure, and the drunk man before was gone!

Ning Hao hurriedly cast a spell to look around, but except for the town not far away, the mountains around him were quiet, and there was no figure in sight.

"Could it be that you have encountered a ghost?" Ning Hao's face was a little bad, even if he had experienced the "ghost incident" in the jungle, he had always been afraid of this kind of thing.

"If it's not a ghost, it's a monk whose strength is far superior to his own!"

With Ning Hao's current strength, being able to escape his keen senses and come and go without a trace under his eyelids is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"If such a person wants to harm me, I'm afraid it's very easy, why would he pretend to be a drunk and fall there?"

Ning Hao was puzzled, and until he walked back to the restaurant, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Which master might be joking with me?" Ning Hao forced himself not to think about this matter, as soon as he returned to the room, he began to cultivate, time flew by, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already three poles in the sun, and the restaurant was already full of people.

Ning Hao was about to go to the street, but Xiao Er of the restaurant came over.

"Master Hao, you are here!"

"What's the matter?"

Ning Hao glanced at Xiao Er strangely, although his residence was behind the restaurant, but generally no major events happened, and absolutely no one would come to disturb him.

The little two twisted for a long time and said, "There is a tattered Taoist priest in the restaurant, who ordered a table of dishes and asked for ten catties of wine......

"What's the matter, it's eating the overlord meal, and you don't have the money to pay the bill?" Ning Hao asked strangely.

Since Ning Hao ate the overlord meal himself, he knew the harm here, so from the first day he went, it was strictly stipulated that if the guest ordered a lot of things, or the kind of person who seemed to have no money, he must see the money before he could serve the food.

"No, he has money, he took it out before he ordered, and his fist is such a big piece of gold!"

"That's it, what's the matter with me?"

"But...... But after eating, he refused to pay, and he said that it was Hao Ye's friend, and asked Hao Ye to pay for him. ”

"What's the matter, he said that, you just believe it?" Ning Hao almost laughed, where did he have any friends here, except for the proprietress, who else could be worth letting him pay the bill.

But he brought out a letter and said to show it to you, and you would certainly go and pay him. I saw Xiao Er take out a letter, and nothing was written on the white envelope.

Ning Hao was suspicious of the letter and took out the letter paper in the envelope.

Not a word was written on the letterhead, just an irregular-looking circle with a long thin line underneath.

"What is this, a pendant, a copper coin? This Taoist priest is really a liar, see me go back and ask him for money!" The shopkeeper also turned his head to take a look, and saw that the paper was drawn with this kind of incomprehensible thing, and turned around to go back to theorize.

"Wait a minute, can you tell me what that Taoist priest looks like?" Ning Hao was a little uncertain in his heart, and suddenly stopped the shopkeeper.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "This Taoist priest is dressed in tatters, with a long sword pinned to his waist, and the smell of wine is very strong, so that other guests are not happy, and he has not ordered ten catties of wine, if it weren't for the sake of that piece of gold, I really don't want to entertain him!"

The corners of Ning Hao's mouth twitched, the smell of alcohol was very strong, he was in tatters, and he could still draw this kind of thing for him, which was clearly the mysterious person who tripped over him last night.

He was thinking about how to find him, but he didn't expect people to come to the door first.

"Take me to see!" Ning Hao said to the shopkeeper, he also wanted to see where this mysterious person came from.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, his heart was full of puzzlement, but years of experience told him that he should never ask the boss why at this time.

Ning Hao followed behind Xiao Er, thinking that he was about to see the "master" who came and went without a trace, and his heart was both nervous and expectant.

He glanced at the letter paper in his hand, where was the copper coin on it, it was clearly a jade pendant tied with a rope.
