The straw sandals boy often goes to Taoye Lane on Fulu Street these days to deliver letters to his family, and almost every doorman knows this messenger, so it doesn't seem abrupt, and the young man looks calm, trotting on the bluestone street as usual, even if a pedestrian sees it, he won't take it seriously. Chen Ping'an is near the door of a house, in front of the door there is a statue of stone dare to suppress evil spirits, half a person tall, the appearance of a military general, Chen Ping'an knows that this is the Li family's mansion, the rich and noble Fulu Street, almost every household has different methods to ward off evil spirits, and even the door gods posted on the door are civil and military, so it is easy to distinguish.

He quickly looked around, continued to move forward, and then the Song family is the Song family, after the Song family is the Kiln Supervision Office, on the outer wall of the junction of the two adjacent mansions of Li and Song, there is a locust tree, the old dry branches, the branches are luxuriant, although it is not as good as the vicissitudes of the old locust tree in the town, but it also makes people see it at first sight.

In the mouths of the older generation, this locust tree and the towering old locust in the center of the town are said to be in the same line, that tree is called the ancestral locust, and the one in front of the young man is called the descendant locust.

The reason why Chen Ping'an came to the Li family, not the Lu family, the head of the town where Lu Zhengchun is located, is that when the young man left the government office, the elderly steward who sent him all the way, intentionally or unintentionally chatted with some parents, what is the reading seed of the Zhao family on this street, Zhao Miao has already left the town, and it will be designated as the life of the champion Lang as a big official in the future, what is the Song family next door There is a young lady, when she reaches the age of marriage, even the female celebrity can't do well, she only likes to dance with knives and guns, where is it like a young lady, do you say it's funny? The old man is in a lot of trivial anecdotes, mixed with a trivial news, the Li family house has just arrived with a distinguished guest, the little girl doll looks pink carved jade, like a piece of royal porcelain, as long as the other girl changes in the future, she must be a handsome beauty, and I don't know which family will be blessed in the future to marry such a daughter-in-law into the family.

On the way out of the back hall of the government office, the young man who only listened to it at first walked very slowly, intentionally or unintentionally, and always carefully observed the architectural layout of the government office, and finally occasionally asked a digression or two, like a poor man curious about the wealth and wealth of those wealthy families, and the old steward knew everything and said everything, taking the Song family next door and the Li family farther away as examples, and told the young man about the courtyard distribution and various rules of the big family.

The real intention of the steward, the young man knew it well.

It's just that Chen Ping'an didn't think about acting according to their wishes from beginning to end.

At this time, slowly trotting forward along the street, Chen Ping'an saw that there was no one around, suddenly exerted his strength, suddenly accelerated his pace, ran straight to the old locust tree, jumped up, and actually stepped up on the trunk four steps in succession, before there were signs of falling, but at that time, the sturdy teenager was enough to reach out and grab a branch of the locust tree, and in an instant, the agile boy like an ape in the deep mountains sat on the horizontal branch, and then stood up steadily, and continued to climb forward, a few blinks of kung fu, Chen Ping'an squatted on a sloping locust branch, which was more than two feet high on the courtyard wall, and the young man's body was hidden behind the lush locust leaves, holding his breath and concentrating, squinting, not at all in a hurry to sneak in.

On the way back to the town from the covered bridge with Ning Yao, Chen Ping'an asked many questions.

For example, how fast can the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain run and jump high under normal circumstances on the boundary of the town? How tough is his body, and what kind of copper skin and iron bones is it? If I punch him, it is tantamount to tickling the old ape, then if I change it to a slingshot or a wooden bow, how much damage will it cause at a distance of 20 and 40 steps? Does the so-called "fairy" of the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain have fatal defects, such as eyeballs, crotch, and throat? If the opponent is injured and wants to kill with all his might, will I definitely die?

At that time, Ning Yao was almost asked by the young man, and he only hated that he was not deaf and dumb.

According to the girl in black, whether it is a qi refiner or a pure martial artist, the more advanced the realm of cultivators, the greater the pressure they will be on here, just like the iron horse can only defend the pass, all supported by a breath of continuous support, once it opens its mouth, it will have to endure the damage of sea water. Imagine facing a swift flood and then you try to make a small hole in the levee?

But in the end, Ning Yao's conclusion was that if the young man and the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain caught and killed, Chen Ping'an did not have the slightest chance of winning.

In the shade of Huai, the young man's eyes were resolute, his face was indifferent, and he said silently: "Don't let the old ape get close to within ten steps, ten steps, at least at least open this distance." ”

Ning Yao said that as long as the old ape does not jump over the wall in a hurry, he has a chance to live.

But Chen Ping'an replied that it was to force the old ape to kill him, otherwise it would be meaningless.

We must force the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain to get angry, so that this old ape will not hesitate to use the true qi in his body, in order to really lose the cultivation that he has accumulated for thousands of years, maybe the old ape thinks that he and the people of small towns like Liu Xianyang are not worth anything at all, but Chen Ping'an wants to know that when the time comes, will the old ape feel distressed when he sees those disappearing cultivation deeds, and he also feels that it is worth it.

Of course, the premise of everything is that you don't want to be punched to death by someone in the face.

The young man looked down at the people in the mansion passing through the corridor, and muttered, "Even if you can't escape, you must take a few more punches." ”

Chen Ping'an never thought that he could kill the old ape, let alone that he could survive.

————

The Li family's mansion, the little girl from Zhengyang Mountain, as the granddaughter of the ancestor of the Tao family, was worshiped by the Li family as a bodhisattva, In addition to arranging a number of first- and second-class maids in the other courtyard, these girls who are born to the family have clean hands and feet, and the most important thing is to know the roots, have a clean background, and may have been loyal to the Li family since their ancestors.

This annex is located in the middle of the house, not close to the street of Fu Lu Street.

The little girl's name is Tao Zi, nicknamed Peach, and she is the pistachio of those sword immortal ancestors in Zhengyang Mountain, of course, not by virtue of her innocent and cute appearance and temperament, but by her future kendo height, which is qualified to let Zhengyang Mountain smash into massive resources at any cost.

Five hundred years later, Tao Zi's roots, talent, temperament and chance, among the ancestors of the major peaks of Zhengyang Mountain in the past dynasties, are among the best, simply put, the little girl Tao Zi will be a long board, but there is no short board of magical existence.

This is a truly once-in-a-century encounter, not a polite compliment on the bad street.

The little girl is now without the old ape moving the mountain by her side, alone in a completely unfamiliar place, not to mention fear of life or stage fright, just a little boring, and a little regretful, listening to the tone of the ape grandfather, it seems that there is no way to move a mountain peak from here. This made the little girl very discouraged, Sister Su of Zhengyang Mountain, when she was among the middle five realms, was given a mountain peak by the ancestor as a gift, and became Sister Su's private territory, that peak, it was the ape grandfather who personally carried it back to Zhengyang Mountain, placed in the northeast of Zhengyang Mountain, although it was not big, but the little girl has always been very envious.

She felt a little stuffy in the study, so she walked to the main hall, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at the plaque for a long time in an old-fashioned manner.

The little girl has always been followed by two delicate maids, one of whom was found to be talented by the Li family since he was a child, and he was focused on cultivating a martial arts person, and he was a little successful. In fact, for the Li family, this kind of behavior is no different from raising flowers, birds, fish and insects, not that I hope that the girl can become a martial arts master in the future. Within the high walls of the big family, it is not for nothing that the slave bully the master, not to mention the promotion of rice and hatred, the vision of the slave and the servant is too high and the potential is too great, which may not be a good thing for the inheritance of the next generation of the family.

The little girl walked to the gate and jumped around the yard. She didn't leave the yard without permission, making it difficult for her subordinates. Grandpa Ape had reminded her that the people from the Wind Thunder Garden had also arrived in the town, and that she should not leave the courtyard until he had settled down. Although the little girl is young, she has been exposed to the treacherous and dangerous clouds of mountain cultivation since she was a child, and her family education is extremely strict, so she is not the kind of stubborn child who makes the elders feel uneasy.

The bored little girl finally lay on the stone table, there was a bird cage on the table, containing a bird that seemed to be called the snake catcher, drooping her head, sickly, the feathers were gray and not slippery, not good at all, no matter how the little girl teased before, the snake catcher did not pay attention to her, so she also felt bored, and now she really had nothing to do, so she whistled and played with the flat-haired animal.

There are two porcelain bird food jars privately made by Li Jialongyao in the cage, small and exquisite, one is plain and elegant to hold water, and the other is bright to hold food.

It's just that after the snake catcher eagle was caught, it didn't get a drop of water or rice, and it had been almost two days.

In the town, snake catchers are rarely caught, and on occasional occasions, young chicks and adult snake catchers die on hunger strikes.

You can't feed it, and you can't survive a falcon driven by people.

The whistling little girl saw that the snake catcher was still unresponsive, and finally lost her patience completely, stood up, turned and left.

Bang bang.

One of the bird food cans inside the cage shattered violently.

The little girl froze for a moment, and then, almost instinctively, dragged a tall maid past her, keeping her in front of her.

The tall and plump handmaid only felt that her wrists were tightly clamped by iron wires, and she was so painful that she almost screamed.

But it was the shorter maid, with sharp eyes, who stood in front of the little girl for the first time and quickly looked around.

The second bird food jar in the cage exploded again, like the sound of firecrackers on the table.

"There are assassins, on the roof of the Qingxin Courtyard!" The handmaid who practiced martial arts finally caught the figure this time, and there was a half-crouching figure on the ridge of the courtyard next door.

The maid began to run, the wall of the courtyard was not high, she stepped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and quickly climbed to the top of the wall with her outstanding strength.

For a while, she was a little troubled, this annex was not far from the opposite Qingxin Temple, but the assassin was located on the roof of the main house of the Qingxin Temple, and the Qingxin Temple was close to Fulu Street, and the person could easily climb over the wall. So she made a decision almost in a flash of light, instead of jumping off the wall and running to the Qingxin Courtyard, she ran along the cat's waist at the head of the wall and jumped onto the roof of her own courtyard. During this time, the maidservant kept an eye out for the Assassin's sneak attack.

Strangely, the Assassin did not stop her in her tracks, nor did he intend to retreat immediately.

Between the eaves of the two courtyards, there is a distance of about three zhang.

The maidservant watched the assassin as she quietly retreated from the eaves, taking a quick deep breath and preparing to run.

The maidservant's heart was shocked, and the assassin who confronted her from afar was actually a thin teenager dressed in shabby?!

The young man had two small bags tied around his waist, and there was no murderous object in his hand, which should have been hidden, and the maid felt that it was the most likely slingshot.

She was also very puzzled, if she hit her head, she didn't dare to say that she would be killed on the spot, but she was definitely not lightly injured, and with the almost terrifying accuracy of the young man, she deliberately smashed the bird food jar twice, and really couldn't shoot herself or the little girl from Zhengyang Mountain?

In the courtyard, the little girl said angrily: "Fool! Be careful of the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! Come back quickly!"

It is of course important to catch the assassin and torture him to extract a confession, but it is even more important to save his life in case of an accident.

After the little girl let go of the tall girl's arm, she raised her palm and slapped the frightened girl awake, "And you, hurry up and report the news! Do you know, if I die, all of you in this house will die!"

The maid on the roof did not jump into the courtyard immediately, but shouted, "There are assassins!"

Then she began to run wildly, jumping on the edge of the eaves, and then the whole person began to leap towards the roof of the opposite Kiyoshin Temple.

With a series of climbing and running movements of the maidservant, the assassin boy who roughly judged her arm strength, foot strength and strength, squatted down and picked up two tiles, and threw out his right hand, just smashing into the girl's head, and the girl who was still in the air, subconsciously staggered her arms in front of her head, and then slammed it twice, smashing the maid to the bone ache, not to mention, the strength was great, far beyond the maid's imagination, the whole person rushed forward momentum, and was suddenly blocked badly, just when she regretted that she was strong.

The maidservant girl who had barely landed on the eaves on the opposite side was hit in the abdomen by someone and fell backwards.

It was only after the assassin inexplicably grabbed one of his ankles, and after a slight pause, the boy let go of his hand.

The maidservant girl didn't land safely, but she was not seriously injured.

Her whole head was a mess.

The young man kept looking around from the corner of his eye, and after noticing the black spots around him, he began to turn around and run.

The speed is so fast, the pace is so big, the rhythm is so good, especially with the right breathing and breathing, if the maid can see it, she will definitely feel that the young man is like her, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and he has been immersed in sex for a long time, and he is definitely not a layman.

The figure of the young man on the roof soon disappeared, like a light bird, a snake catcher out of the cage.

————

After about a stick of incense, the burly old man hurried back to the Li family's mansion, murderous.

From Li Hong, the head of the Li family, to the maid in the other courtyard, everyone didn't dare to breathe, especially the maid who practiced martial arts, kneeling on the ground, her cheeks were so red and swollen that the maid didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to have the slightest resentment.

When the little girl, who was already in a calm mood, saw the old man, she sighed, shook her head and said, "Grandpa Ape, the people of the Li family seem to be all a bunch of waste." How dare you entrust me to them?"

The mountain moving ape knelt on one knee, still taller than the little girl, and the white-haired old man said guiltily: "Miss, it's the old slave who is wrong." ”

The old man turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Li Hong!"

The head of the Li family in the small town has a rough understanding of the orthodox words of Dongbao Aquarius, and it just so happens that the words of the monk of Zhengyang Mountain are like this, this man who is full of words in the family has to smile bitterly and apologize: "This time it is indeed the fault of my Li family, and it cannot be shirked." According to the information we have obtained so far, it is a teenager, most of whom are not cultivators, and the government office has not given a useful spy report for the time being, only that it will send more capable people to guard the house day and night. ”

Tao Zi thought for a moment and said, "That assassin doesn't seem to have come to kill me. ”

Then he added, "At least not today." ”

The heart of the head of the Li family was about to fall, and it immediately hung back in his throat.

The white ape frowned and asked, "Is that young man thin, dark-skinned, and almost only this height?" Well, and straw sandals?"

The maidservant who was kneeling on the ground nodded vigorously.

The white ape grinned, his eyes gloomy, "Good guy!

He waved his hand and said, "Don't meddle in this matter, I know that the assassin's background is an ordinary boy in Mud Bottle Alley." ”

The little girl whispered, "Grandpa Ape, don't take it lightly. ”

The moving ape hesitated, stood up and instructed the head of the Li family: "Then let the government office take out a household file to the Li family's mansion, and check the details of the eighteenth generation of the young man's ancestors, and then the manpower to guard this courtyard is easy to refine and few, not easy to be miscellaneous but more!"

The old man quietly accentuated his tone and sneered: "Li Hong, I advise you to invite your family's Dinghai Divine Needle to come out as well, don't take things seriously, my young lady really wants to have three long and two short here, and even I, the old beast in your eyes, can't afford it, you, the Li family?"

The head of the Li family hurriedly apologized, and said in panic: "The ancestor of the ape is tormenting the Li family." ”

The Zhengyang Mountain Mountain Guardian Ape fell into deep thought, and muttered, "Is that kid from the Wind Thunder Garden taking the opportunity to provoke?" Or is it the plan of Song Changjing of the Government Agency?"

The old man shook his head at last, only thinking that it was ridiculous, "Whoever instigated him to die, you don't know how to find a better pawn to cross the river." A little grasshopper with a few taels of meat, stuffed between the teeth? Okay, I'm worried that I don't have a chance to kill, this is a good reason, first kill the soil embryo of the mud bottle alley, and then clean up you, the little bastard of the Wind Thunder Garden. ”

The old man smiled at the little girl and said, "Miss, the old slave will definitely help you clean up the mess this time, and there will definitely be no more accidents." ”

The little girl smiled brightly and raised her fist to boost the morale of this Zhengyang Mountain guardian ape.

Before the old man left, he looked at the head of the Li family, who smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to ask the old ancestor to come out of the mountain and personally serve as Miss Tao's personal servant." ”

The old man nodded, and strode away.

The old man grinned and bit the bait, and went straight down the fishing line to Mud Bottle Alley.

It's clear that I've taken the bait, and you're here to kill it.

If it was outside the town, this Zhengyang Mountain Mountain Moving Ape would not dare to be so unsightly, but in this world, magic powers and magic weapons are all banned, he has a huge advantage, which is why Zhengyang Mountain did not dispatch a Sword Immortal Ancestor.

The old ape walked all the way, approaching Mud Bottle Alley, and the old ape realized something, "The young man in the alley shouldn't be just to avenge his friends, right?"

Before this, the old ape had been thinking deeply, involving the conspiracy of the grass ash line stretching for thousands of miles, and now after suddenly realizing this possibility, he felt particularly absurd.

The old ape smiled, and quickly figured out the truth, "If that's the case, it makes sense, and that's right, I'm not a cultivator, but I'm not so afraid of death, anyway, it's just a cheap life." ”

But for the sake of caution, the old ape still did not swagger from this end into Mud Bottle Alley.

No matter what, this trip is destined not to go in vain, the little bastard who was weighed by the wind and thunder garden is nothing more than a little mud leg in Mud Bottle Alley to live a little longer.

After going around in a big circle, the old ape walked from the corner of the alley close to Gu Cang's house into Mud Bottle Alley.

In fact, the old ape was very suspicious that the assassin boy had the courage to stay in the ancestral house and wait for death.

If you are smart and timid, you can die after the young people in the Wind Thunder Garden.

The old ape grinned.

Then the smile instantly stiffened.

In the mud bottle alley at dusk, the path has become dark and blurry.

The burly old man looked up suddenly.

A thin young man somehow stood high in front of the alley, his feet in the holes that had just been dug in the walls on both sides, just in time to be able to borrow.

The young man carried a quiver and held a full wooden bow, the tip of which pointed directly at one of the old ape's eyes.

The young man's whole body was silent, pulling his bow like a full moon without saying anything, as if even the slightest breath seemed to have disappeared.

So much so that the ancestor of Zhengyang Mountain, who was protecting the mountain, could only detect the existence of the boy above his head by virtue of his keen sense of danger.

Don't give the old ape more opportunities to react.

The arrow came in a burst of fire, whistling into the wind, and sinking with great force.

After shooting an arrow, the boy did not make a second choice at all, his neck shrunk, and he quickly hung the wooden bow diagonally on his shoulder, and exerted force on his toes, staggering the two walls to the eaves of the house, and it was fleeting.

The old ape retracted the palm that was blocking his forehead, and saw that the arrow was nailed into the palm of his hand, not deep, and it was vaguely visible that there was a crack in the wound.

But the old ape was afraid for a while.

If he was in the small town and was shot in the eye with an arrow, it would be a tragedy that the heavens should not be and the earth was not working.

Pull out the arrow, break it, and drop it in the mud bottle alley.

The old man clenched his fists and looked up at the alley sky, his face was pale, his throat was agitated, and he made a low and suppressed sound, like an ancient beast that was extremely angry.

The old man used his hands and feet together, and instantly climbed to the roof, but as soon as he appeared, a second arrow arrived in an instant.

The old man, who was already on guard, just lifted his hand casually, let it nail into his arm a little, and strode forward with a cruel smile.

The boy who put away his wooden bow again turned and ran.

On the eaves on the side of Mud Bottle Alley, a large series of cracking sounds sounded.

After all, the old man's steps were far larger than the boy's, and he gradually narrowed the distance, and it was no surprise that he would soon catch up with the emaciated boy whose body was actually flexible enough.

The old man instantly exerted his strength, and the whole person rose into the air, slamming forward, and a huge hand the size of a pu fan stretched out to the young man's head.

The young man seemed to have eyes behind him, and at the last moment, he twisted his waist, and the whole person bent over, and then turned and jumped to the roof across the alley.

After landing gently, continue to run wildly.

The old ape's movements were also extremely agile and swift, and he also bent towards the roof on the other side of Mud Bottle Lane on the right-hand side.

The boy stopped abruptly.

By the time the old ape realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

It turned out that the roof was uninhabited, in disrepair, and had long been dilapidated, where could it afford a jump of more than 200 catties from the old ape.

In an uproar, he fell into the house with the tile.

The old ape fell to the ground with a bang, and after holding the ground with one hand, his head twisted, dodging the tricky and sinister arrow.

The arrow is driven directly into the ground.

It can be seen that it is not that the young man's strength is not strong enough, but that the old ape is too rough and thick-skinned.

The young man stood on the edge of the big hole in the roof, skillfully put away his wooden bow, raised his middle finger at the old ape, and scolded: "Old brute!

The young man's face suddenly turned strange, and he suddenly slapped himself and muttered, "It's not that I'm at a loss!"

The old ape got up suddenly, and the young man was gone again.
