As soon as the old man's words fell, a bunch of people ran out of the grass, all of them were armed with swords, their bodies were covered with blood, everyone was injured from head to toe, among them was a man who had half of his arm cut off and shouted to kill Meng Cheng and avenge his arm, before the man's words were finished, he was cut off by the scar-faced man, and his brains burst out, splashing the face of the accomplice next to the man.

There was a purple-clothed girl standing next to the man, the girl wiped the white substance off her face, and said coquettishly, "Third brother, you have made other people's makeup again." ”

The scar-faced man let out a mouthful of spit, glanced at the old man in the wheelchair and said, "Hurry up and get rid of them all, Master is already tired." ”

The girl in purple glanced at the blind old man in the wheelchair, the old man's head was raised and lowered, repeating again and again, as if dozing off, the girl didn't dare to slack off, and then said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, I wanted to play a little longer." ”

The old man suddenly spoke, "When you join the three mouths, there is time for you to play." ”

The girl in purple spit out her pink tongue and said coquettishly, "Got it, got it." Master always taught us a lesson from the eldest brother. ”

The girl in purple raised her hands, her ten fingers slowly contracted, and the ten rays of light flashed away, as if the space was pulled out of cracks, and under a closer look, it turned out to be a silk thread, the silk thread was from far and near, wrapped around everyone on the spot, with the contraction of the silk thread, a column of blood sprayed out from everyone's body, the silk thread was tough and invisible, and it was a magic weapon that killed people invisibly.

In the field, except for Meng Cheng and the wheelchair old man, the remaining ten or so people were marked by the girl in purple without exception, and those poor people who were covered with silk threads did not know that they were just tools of others until they died.

Glory and wealth, blessing and sharing are the most deceitful.

The corpses fell to the ground.

Meng Cheng's face was gloomy, these people were the group of people he had hired to test Zhou Tianshen before.

The woman with the cherry red package on her back clapped her hands and exclaimed, "The little sister's technique is really getting more and more exquisite. ”

The woman in purple playfully ran to the woman's side and explained, "Actually, I applied poison on the silk thread in advance, so they would stand there obediently and let me do it." ”

The scar-faced man said indifferently, "It's better to solve what is in front of you and celebrate." ”

"The third brother really doesn't know how to enjoy. ”

Compared to the laughter of his scarface and his group, Meng Cheng's situation was much worse, in fact, the girl in purple also made a mark on them before, but Meng Cheng bounced it with a fist and shattered it, but the poison on it had turned into powder and was sucked into it by all of them, just ordinary numbness, and by the time Meng Cheng noticed this, his body was about to be unable to move.

Meng Cheng fought with his last bit of strength, and used the moving seal to throw Zhou Tianshen into the grass behind him, Zhou Tianshen, who fell to the ground, had no strength to stand up at all, the reason why Meng Cheng did this was not to let Zhou Tianshen move the rescuers, but to wait, wait for the arrival of the rescuers.

If you can wait one more second, you can wait one more second.

Wang Duozhan and they were already unconscious.

The girl in purple said movingly, "Third brother, why don't we let them go, those children look so pitiful." ”

The scar-faced man reprimanded, "You forgot the killer guidelines, since you have already collected money from your employer, you must complete the task, and the people within the target must be killed." ”

The girl in purple retorted, "But they are not the people in the target, they are just passers-by. ”

Scarface sneered, "Fifth sister, from the moment they met Xie Qi, they were destined to be unable to escape, how can you be sure that Xie Qi will not hand over some important information to them, and letting go of the enemy is suicidal for the killer." I don't think you'd better be a killer. ”

The girl in purple pouted, sullen.

That's right, that's it, if you delay one more second, we'll be able to survive one more person.

Meng Cheng had no strength, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes slowly closing.

The pain followed, there seemed to be a lot of wounds on his body, blood and reason were slowly being peeled away from his body, he could still hear the sound, he understood that this kind of numbness only paralyzed people's limbs, but not their senses, that is, they would die of pain here.

I'm really unwilling, my plan has just begun.

What the world looks like now.

The girl in purple squatted beside Zhou Tianshen and wrapped him around with silk threads, the silk threads were smooth and translucent, and they couldn't be seen at all in the sun.

The girl in purple said with pity on her face, "I'm sorry, little friend, I don't want to, but you also heard what the third brother said, if I don't kill you, I can't be a killer anymore, I think you understand me, right, I'm really sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

The purple-clothed girl's hand froze in mid-air, and she seemed to hear the boy's voice.

She put her ear to Zhou Tianshen's mouth and heard the answer clearly.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Hmm. ”

The girl in purple covered her chest, where a dart was inserted, and the jet-black dart glowed viciously in the sunlight.

The girl in purple took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground, blood staining her clothes red from her wounds and nose and mouth.

Kill with one hit.

Noticing something unusual, the scar-faced man approached from a distance, carrying two knives with blood stains on the blades.

Scarface saw the corpse of the girl in purple, his heart was full of anger, and he stepped on Zhou Tianshen's front door, Zhou Tianshen clearly felt the fracture of the nasal bone, and the scarface who was still angry lifted Zhou Tianshen with one hand, and kicked it to the opposite tree, the leaves fell to the ground, Zhou Tianshen slowly slipped down, Scarface was holding a double knife, wanting to cut off his head, just when the blade was about to touch Zhou Tianshen's skull, a paper fan blocked the blade, a gentle and polite boy raised the paper fan with a smile, and even the big knife was lifted together。

I didn't expect the seemingly weak boy to have so much strength.

Scar smiled cheekily and said, "This boy is also going to wade into this troubled water?"

Brother Gongzi said solemnly, "There's no way, eating people has a short mouth, and taking people is soft." I'm very distressed. ”

Scarface snorted coldly, flashed back to the wheelchair old man, the old man had woken up, but still listless, he asked, "Got hard stubble?"

Scarface slowly stepped back, "There's more than one." ”

The big knife cut through the flying stones, the stones shattered, and the scarred face was a little overwhelmed.

The old man in the wheelchair took a deep breath, and when he spit it out, it turned into billowing black smoke, which covered the three people, and when the black smoke dissipated, the three people had disappeared.

Brother Childe muttered to himself, "It's them." ”

Then a voice came from behind Brother Gongzi, and the voice turned into a transparent halo, which gradually condensed and formed, and finally turned into a boy carrying a bookcase.

The boy said, "It's the old black goblins." ”

Brother Gongzi said with a stern face, "It seems that we are going to speed up our pace." ”

The boy asked, "What are they going to do?"

Childe Nunu mouthed, the boy looked behind him, and Childe said, "Someone will clean up the mess." ”

In the woods behind them, two people walked over.

One wears a forehead guard and the other carries a long box.

They are Bian Daochang and Lu Zhe.

Bian Daochang held a bronze long sword in his hand, separated the silk threads on Zhou Tianshen's body, and wiped off the blood stains on Zhou Tianshen's face with a white cloth.

Lu Zhe and Bian Daochang worked together to carry the remaining eight people, including Meng Cheng, to the carriage, and the squinting young man gave everyone medicine.

The bones healed quickly, and Zhou Tianshen woke up in pain.

Five days later.

An unknown inn in Huaxiang County.

Zhou Tianshen got dressed, walked out of the guest room, knocked on the door next to him, the door was opened by the squinting young man, Zhou Tianshen walked into the room and sat down on the chair.

The squinting young man poured a cup of tea for Zhou Tianshen, and Zhou Tianshen drank it slowly.

After drinking the tea, the squinting young man had already finished washing.

The two went downstairs together, ate some steamed buns on the first floor, and then set off.

This time, only the squint-eyed young man and Zhou Tianshen went to Shuixiang County.

Bian Daochang and Lu Zhe left them the day before they entered the city, squinting and explaining that they had found a friend who went to Shuixiang County together, and they would no longer bother them.

Before leaving, Meng Cheng handed over the token entrusted to him by the steward surnamed Li to Yu Xiaodu, and asked him to hand it over to a farmer surnamed Li in Shuixiang County.

Brother Gongzi is their temporary bodyguard.

Along the way, he has experienced too many dangers and tribulations, if it weren't for the need to take care of Wang Duozhan and them, Meng Cheng actually didn't have to rush back to the village, but the current situation made him have to be cautious.

Zhou Tianshen didn't want to go back, and Meng Cheng was not reluctant, he just asked Zhou Tianshen to listen to the opinions of the squinting young man in everything, and when he sent Wang Duozhan and them back to Laohuai Village safely, he would come to pick him up.

In fact, he didn't know when it was.

The squinting young man didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out of the city, but he looked here and there in the city, and sometimes stood on the side of the road, looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhou Tianshen reminded him more than once to hurry up, but he prevaricated.

Huaxiang County is not as vast as Jiuxiang County, and it only takes two days to get out of the city, but it is such a two-day journey that was delayed by the squinting young man for five days, and he only walked a quarter of Huaxiang County.

Zhou Tianshen said dissatisfied, "If you don't want to leave, just let me know, I'll go." ”

After the first few escapes, Zhou Tianshen's heart has undergone great changes, and the most memorable thing for him is that he can't relax his nerves when he goes out, and he must always be vigilant. At the moment, he didn't know what danger awaited him.

He remembered his previous life...

The squinting young man stopped in front of a stall and began to fiddle with the worthless knick-knacks.

Zhou Tianshen was attracted by one of the small puppets, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen this puppet.

Squinting picked up the puppet, asked the vendor for the price, and bought the puppet.

It's really worthless.

The squinting-eyed young man stuffed the puppet into Zhou Tianshen's hand, suddenly pulled him into a remote alley, and said in his ear, "This puppet is left for you to defend yourself, remember, if you go out of the city in five days, I will wait for you in the inexhaustible mountain outside the city." ”

After that, the figure of the squinting young man flashed away on the street and was never to be found again.

Zhou Tianshen heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, hurriedly dodged to the side, and as soon as his feet landed, he saw a red-maned fierce horse chasing through the street in the direction where the squinting young man left, Zhou Tianshen vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, just after the red-maned fiery horse left, several white horses ran past one after another, and on the back of the white horse sat a soldier in armor.

The soldiers were armed with spears and crossbow arrows, and entered and exited Huaxiang County in an orderly manner.

Zhou Tianshen didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't dare to go out of the city early.

He booked a room at an inn on the side of the road, and calculated the time to leave the city the day before the date the squinting young man had promised.

That is, four days later.

There is no one in the city, and now few people will wait at the city gate an hour before the opening of the city, after all, there is no need to worry about eating in this year, no one goes out to dig wild vegetables, and no one waits at the city gate early.

Today, however, something is different.

The soldier defending the city rubbed his sleepy eyes, he was the first day he took up the position of guarding the city in Huaxiang County, his immature face was already full of exhaustion, he carefully counted the number of people under the city, there were as many as five people, the young soldier was puzzled, how could there be someone who didn't like to sleep lazy?

He didn't think too much, according to the specified time, walked downstairs, opened the city gate, Zhou Tianshen and other five people walked out of the city gate one after another, and vaguely, the other four people actually besieged Zhou Tianshen.

As soon as the defenders opened the gates, they went back to sleep.

There are regulations in Huaxiang County, and there are two kinds of soldiers guarding the city.

A vigil, a watch.

That is, the difference between the night shift and the day shift.

Now that the soldiers on duty have not come out, Zhou Tianshen just wants to shout for help, and at this hour, I am afraid that no one will hear it.

After the five of them walked out of the city, the two people in front of them stopped and turned around slowly, they were both wearing iron masks, and on the mask there was a black necromancer named the old black demon.

The two people wearing masks took out the dagger stained with poison from their arms, and slowly approached Zhou Tianshen, Zhou Tianshen stepped back, and the two people behind him were also slowly approaching Zhou Tianshen, for a while, Zhou Tianshen had no way back.

Zhou Tianshen tensed his nerves and took his hand out of his cuff, his left hand was actually holding a painted puppet, the puppet's eyes were very large, it should be a stone called 'obsidian', Jin Quanyi introduced this kind of stone, I heard that it can explode, it is a gunpowder stone. The puppet's arms were painted with patterns, and a thin iron chain was tied to his legs, Zhou Tianshen saw the right time, threw the puppet at the two men in front of him, and then ran to the side, one of the men wanted to pick the puppet with a dagger, but the puppet turned out to be alive.

The puppet held the dagger tightly with both hands, and his two eyes were staring at the man, and a burst of yellow-brown smoke erupted from the puppet's eyes. The puppet jumped off the dagger and ran towards the other man.

From throwing out the puppet to the puppet spewing out smoke and knocking down a killer, it actually only took nearly three seconds, and in these three seconds, Zhou Tianshen used the green leaf fall that Meng Cheng taught him a few days ago, and actually galloped forward nearly ten zhang away, but such a long distance almost exhausted nearly half of the spiritual power in his body, and now he was standing in place sweating profusely, and the two killers who were standing behind him before were slowly approaching him.

Zhou Tianshen stepped back breathlessly, his eyes looking around, trying to find a way to attack and defend, and of course the two killers would not let him do so.

The two killers outflanked Zhou Tianshen on the left and right, and the killer who was entangled in the puppet before had also repelled the puppet and rushed to meet his accomplices.

The three-legged stand and move the whole body.

Zhou Tianshen no longer retreated, straightened up, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, took a deep breath, and the painted puppet that was bought back at a low price by squinting eyes, and then given to Zhou Tianshen for free, suddenly rushed out from the side, holding a small stone in his hand, holding the thigh of one of the killers, and hitting hard.

The killer didn't expect that the puppet that had been beheaded by himself before could be restored by himself, and he still had so much strength, for a while, he was suppressed by the puppet and had no power to fight back.

When the puppet attacked one of the killers, he pointed his eyes at the other two killers, and his black pupils spewed out yellow-brown smoke, and the two killers were shrouded in it, covering their mouths and noses in pain.

Zhou Tianshen saw the opportunity, and when the other two killers were in a hurry to deal with the puppet, he flashed to the side and broke away from the killer's encirclement, but he didn't run away, because he knew that if he didn't take the opportunity to eradicate the killer in front of him, then there would be no more peace in the future.

Didn't think too much about it.

Zhou Tianshen, who had just stabilized his body, used his whole body's spiritual power, his hands made hand seals, and then, his left hand slapped downward, and his body rose into the air, and the green leaves fell so that Zhou Tianshen had the ability to temporarily stagnate in the air, just when he reached the highest point and was about to fall, Zhou Tianshen closed his eyes tightly, and recalled another spell of Professor Meng Cheng in his mind, Baicao Slash.

The hands formed a hand seal again, and when they separated, a turquoise crescent moon appeared in Zhou Tianshen's palm, Zhou Tianshen threw it downward with all his strength, and when the crescent moon penetrated the neck of a killer, it swirled backwards, and then penetrated the chests of the other two killers one after another, killing with one blow, blood gushed on the puppet, and the puppet made a sound all over its body after being stained with blood, and then it became a half-human tall puppet.

The puppeteer turned his little head, his two black eyes were spinning around, and after finding Zhou Tianshen's figure in the distance, the puppeteer strode towards him, and Zhou Tianshen was unconscious because he had exhausted his spiritual power after throwing the crescent moon.

The puppeteer picked up Zhou Tianshen and was about to run towards Huaxiang County, but was stopped by a squinting young man.

The puppeteer protected Zhou Tianshen tightly behind him as if he were human, wary of the smiling youth.

The young man kicked away the corpse lying on the ground, and after seeing the mask he was wearing, he was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are the old man's people, and it turns out that the old black demon is not a person." ”

The young man who stood there and talked to himself tilted his head to look at the puppeteer, raised his right arm, made a gesture of comparing the height, and said with a smile, "You are going to hold him all the time, and fall from such a high place, if you don't heal him quickly, he will die." ”

I don't know if the puppeteer understood the meaning of the young man, I saw him hurriedly put Zhou Tianshen on the ground, his legs bent, and he was kowtowing to Zhou Tianshen, Mimi-eyed young man stepped forward, kicked him away, and cursed, "The person is not dead yet, is it necessary for you to put on such a low posture, I tell you, if he dies in your hands, I am not the only one who is unlucky, and the whole continent will be turned upside down." ”

The young man half-squatted, raised Zhou Tianshen's head, opened Zhou Tianshen's eyelids with two fingers, checked some of Zhou Tianshen's pulse at random, and when he was sure that he still had a glimmer of life, he hurriedly took out a small pill from his arms, stuffed it into Zhou Tianshen's mouth, and then patted Zhou Tianshen's chest, Zhou Tianshen sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, and some black blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

The young man stood up and said with relief, "It can be regarded as forcing the poison out, hey, your master has woken up, but he is a little exhausted, tired, and a little hungry, if you don't find a place to rest quickly, I'm afraid I will really starve to death, you quickly find a carriage to send the two of us to the attic of the Beauty Pavilion in Huaxiang County." ”

The puppeteer patted the dust on his body, the chicken pecked his head like rice, and ran to Huaxiang County, not long after, a dilapidated carriage drove out of the city gate, the puppeteer carried Zhou Tianshen into the carriage, and the squinting young man served as the coachman, driving the carriage to Huaxiang County.

——————

At the foot of Eryuan Mountain, Brother Gongzi wiped the blood stains on his face, and stepped on the neck of the man in black who was lying on the ground and was still moaning.

Brother Gongzi, who gently shook the fan, sighed and said, "Alas, this is the first batch, will we be consumed by them before we arrive in Laohuai Village." ”

Behind Brother Gongzi stood a boy with a bookcase on his back, the boy looked at the sky and the night, pinched his fingers slightly, and said in disbelief, "They actually retreated." ”

Hearing the good news, Brother Gongzi first covered his mouth and laughed, and finally couldn't hold it back, laughed heartily, laughed so much that tears flowed out, Brother Gongzi wiped his tears and walked to the carriage on the side of the road, and Meng Cheng and others were sitting in the carriage.

The boy sat in the carriage, and the boy sat in the back carriage and served as the coachman.

These two carriages were specially designed to escort Meng Cheng and them back to Laohuai Village.

The coachman is the son-in-law brother Tianlingyu from Tianfeng in Zhongzhou and the scholar Zhang Kaihe who shows his appearance as a boy.

Tian Lingyu grabbed the reins in one hand and held a wordless gold paper book in the other, and muttered, "This time it really made you suffer a dumb loss." ”

——————

On top of a cliff, there stood a blind old man with an angry face, sitting in a wheelchair with only empty sleeves on his hands and feet. Behind the old man stood a woman carrying a cherry red package and a scar-faced man holding twin knives.

The old man in the wheelchair raised his head, 'looked' at the sunset on the horizon, and said with regret, "This time I went out of the mountain, it really gave me a dismount." ”

The scar-faced man stuck his two knives on the ground, knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and bowed his head, and said angrily, "Old Ancestor, give me a day, and I will definitely hand over the heads and coefficients of those people from Laohuai Village to you." ”

The old man shook his head and said tiredly, "I'm really tired this time, let's go back." ”

The woman pushed her wheelchair and walked down the mountain, where several white horses were parked, and on the back of the horses sat a man wearing a mask and three strong men dressed in red.

The masked man saw the woman pushing the wheelchair towards him, possessed and dismounted, and the old man said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Boss Hongshan, our old black demon has decided to withdraw from this assassination operation, and we will pay back the reward you paid before as soon as possible." ”

The masked man said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter, I'm not the mastermind of this operation anyway, if the black demon seniors want to leave, they can leave now." ”

The old man bowed and thanked, "Thank you Boss Hongshan for your understanding." ”

The woman pushed the wheelchair forward, and suddenly a sharp short knife plunged into her chest, and a little red blood dripped on the top of the old man's head, and the woman did not blink.

The masked man walked up to the old man, looked down at the old man's eyes, and said, "I said, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

The old man's neck fell to one side weakly, and Scarface had not had time to take one last look at the old man when he arrived from the mountain, but he did not feel any sadness.

Scarface walked to the masked man's side, reached out and took off a black jade pendant from the old man's neck, wrapped it around his arm, and said coldly, "The old black demon needs a new leader. ”
