Chapter Twenty-Three: The Story of the Ink Thief
The Black Wind Forest, the lair of the ink thieves, has a small lake in the dense woods, and the western abyss has many plains and dense forests, and there is never a shortage of rain, and every time it rains, a lot of fresh water will accumulate in the small lake.
This is the habitat of a black wind horse community, ten years ago, Li Xuancheng and the three of them took the ink thief to subdue the entire group of this black wind horse, and saw that this place was quite good, so they simply moved the ink thief's lair here. A stone fortress was built around the small lake for the public to live in, and later, as the ink thieves grew, half of the small lake shore was surrounded by this strong fortress. In front of the fort is a wide open space, enclosed by a pile of boulders, which counts as a courtyard.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a very burning bonfire, which was full of all kinds of meat, and in front of the bonfire were placed a row of square tables, and piles of fruits collected from the forest were piled up on the plates.
Emperor Qingfeng, Bai Ling, and Li Xuancheng, the great leader of the ink thieves, and Tie Long, the second leader, sat around a table around the bonfire while eating this delicious delicacy while chatting with each other about their experiences, and for some reason Jian Zangfeng did not attend.
"The two eldest brothers, the younger brothers, see that your style is not comparable to those ordinary bandits, you don't kill indiscriminately, and you don't insult people's wives and daughters, which can be called chivalrous, why do you ......?" Di Qingfeng asked while holding a bowl of wine and toasting the two leaders.
"Alas, Brother Xian, this matter is a long story, Tielong and I were originally under the command of the emperor of Dashi Kingdom, the general of the sixth battalion of the Dragon Forbidden Army, I am the commander-in-chief, and he is the vanguard under my account. Later, because he was involved in a coup d'état, he was ambushed by the enemy in the battle and suffered a miserable defeat.
This coup d'état is an extraordinary war, and if it is lost, there will be no place for the country of Nuodashi. The new lord of the country put us people to death, and the two of us were unwilling to be killed like this, and our brothers were soldiers, so they were not afraid of death, but the eldest husband died on the battlefield in battle, and the horse leather shrouded his body, and the death of such a nest was really unwilling. So Tie Long and I fled from Dashi Country with the remnants of 800 brothers, and in order to make a living, we started a business without capital in this 10,000-mile wilderness. Li Xuancheng, who had changed into civilian clothes, was telling their story to Emperor Qingfeng.
"Oh, I said that the murderous aura on the ink thief is so strong, discipline is definitely not what bandits should have, it turns out that you are all from military backgrounds. Emperor Qingfeng said.
"What about the three chiefs?"
"Ten years ago, when we went out hunting again, we met my third brother, who was alone, covered in wounds, and was chased and killed by the enemy, and the two of us rescued him. Later, the third brother recovered from his injuries, one came to take revenge, and the other came with nowhere to go, so he joined us, the so-called heroes cherish heroes, and later the three of us swore to be brothers of the opposite sex. Speaking of Jian Zangfeng, Li Xuancheng's face showed some regret and sadness.
"Although the third brother is only in the middle of the Yuan Shen period, his strength is actually the strongest among the three of us, and it is precisely because of the third brother that the prestige of our ink thieves has gradually become louder in this 100,000 miles of wilderness. ”
"I have also learned the strength of Brother Sword, and I have only seen it in my life. ”
"The third brother is actually a poor man, he was originally a warrior in the world, his family is well-off, and he has no intention of meeting opponents in the world.
There is a gentle and beautiful wife at home, and the husband and wife are very affectionate. But who knows, when he was twenty years old, because he got a sword in a certain monument, the same one he used in the battle with you just now.
led to a catastrophe, I don't know who leaked the news, and the news that the third brother had been to that monument leaked back, causing a monk family who found the estimated place to target the third brother.
That night, the third brother happened to go to the place where the sword was hidden to study swordsmanship, and the monk family found them and the family was brutally murdered, and when the third brother returned home, he saw that the whole family had been killed, and his wife committed suicide because she could not bear to be humiliated, and he was very sad. The third brother, who was immersed in grief and hatred, inquired around, and finally instructed the enemy where the enemy was, so he went to them with a single sword, wanting to take revenge, but he didn't know, how can a worldly person fight with a monk, no accident, the third brother was caught, and the other party tortured him in order to get the treasure obtained by the third brother, and finally the third brother wanted to take them into a Jedi and die together, but they met us halfway. Just after saving him, the third brother has been immersed in hatred, determined to become a monk and take revenge. After recovering from his injuries, the third brother went to the place where the sword was hidden, retrieved a sword and a book of swords, studied it day and night, and practiced the sword as if he had fallen into a demon. Later, the third brother not only made rapid progress in cultivation, but also had no opponent in the same level, and the third brother's sword has always been fatal, and he was defeated by the hands of the two of us, and he was defeated in his hands."
"Looks like I really picked up a nickname today. Di Qingfeng said jokingly, but everyone present knew that this sentence was by no means alarmist, and it was true. ”
In order to make himself remember this hatred, the third brother has always used his title in the secular martial arts, calling himself the "Four Poles Swordsman", but his enemy is very powerful, and it is definitely not something that the current third brother can compete with. ”
Li Xuancheng sighed deeply, and then said: "It's a pity that the two of us are incompetent and can't help the third brother take revenge. ”
"Don't be sad, two big brothers, I think your revenge will be avenged one day. Emperor Qingfeng said comfortingly.
Emperor Qingfeng also talked about some of his past and how he arrived in Xiyuan, and the other three people who said it were stunned for a while, and they were magical.
The more the three of them talked, the more speculative they became, and they didn't use Yuan Li to force out the wine, and finally drank drunk and mouthed before they were supported back to rest.
Early the next morning, Emperor Qingfeng heard the sound of sword dancing in the courtyard, and couldn't help but go out to look, it turned out to be Jian Zangfeng practicing swords. The strange thing is that although Jian Zangfeng obviously did not use the Yuan Force, there was no fluctuation of the Yuan Force around his body. Just practicing with the strength of his body, Di Qingfeng thought, isn't the secular swordsmanship useless for monks, why is this sword hidden feng still here to even this.
Watching Jian Zangfeng's focused sword and sword dance, listening to the crisp sword roar like a dragon's roar, it seemed that there was only one person and one sword left between heaven and earth.
Moreover, Emperor Qingfeng found that the moves of the sword hidden feng were not fixed, and each style seemed to be done casually, but every move was like an antelope hanging on its horns, without a trace, which made people seem to understand whether they understood it or not, and suddenly felt that this method of practicing the sword was not simple. I thought to myself, could it be that the unfathomable sword realm of Jian Zangfeng was cultivated in this way?
Sword cultivation is really a group of people who can't figure it out.
I don't know when, Li Xuancheng and Tielong also came to Emperor Qingfeng's side, looking at Jian Zangfeng, who was there focused on sword dancing, Li Xuancheng said softly, the third brother is like this, once he practices the sword, he doesn't care about anything, sometimes when I see his focused appearance, I think he is a child who has not grown up yet.
I'm exaggerating, Brother Qingfeng, if he grows up in some big forces, he must be the top hero on this continent.
"Why not now. Emperor Qingfeng smiled slightly and said.
In the early morning, the slightly cold wind blew on the people's bodies with the slightest dampness in the jungle, and the sword hidden front was fluttering, like a fairy, unaware.
Emperor Qingfeng and Bai Ling lived here for about half a month under the hospitality of the three leaders before they got up to leave.
Half a month later, the three leaders sent Emperor Qingfeng a batch of Black Wind Horses, sent the two of them outside the Black Wind Forest, and said with their fists in their fists:
"Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, Emperor Qingfeng, come and see my brothers when you have time, we will have a date later." ”
"There will be a period later!" Emperor Qingfeng hugged his fists, got on the horse with Bai Lingfei, held Bai Ling in his arms, and slowly disappeared from the sight of the three leaders.
Ice and Fire City, a very prosperous male city on the edge of the Terran sphere of influence in the West Abyss, the tall city wall is like a copper wall, extremely solid, there are three gilded characters on the city gate tower, "Ice and Fire City", the momentum is extraordinary, due to the proximity to the Great Wilderness, many adventurers and caravans like to come here to look for opportunities.
The Black Wind Horse is known for its speed and excellent physical strength, and it took Emperor Qingfeng and Bailing to run all the way to the Ice and Fire City, and with a long neigh, he slowly came to the city gate, and Emperor Qingfeng and Bailing dismounted and paid the entrance fee, and then pulled Bailing into the city gate.
The place where Bailing handed over the task was really a gang called Hanshuimen in the city, this is the task issued by the owner of Hanshuimen who wanted to find a few ice god fruits for his youngest son to improve his cultivation talent, and after seeing the ice god fruit, after confirming that it was correct, the elders of the task hall of Hanshuimen handed over a vermilion box containing Zengyuan Dan to Bailing, and Bailing took it after checking it and happily accepted it, and then, the two of them walked around the city holding hands, preparing to go to the Shenjian Liu's house to see the old housekeeper, along the way, Bailing looked east and west, as if he was full of curiosity about everything in the city。
When the two passed by a jewelry store, Diqing wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for Bai Ling, so he pulled Bai Ling and walked in.
"What do you want to buy? The owner of the jewelry store, who had two mustaches, politely entertained.
"Boss, you have a hairpin made of crystal dragon pattern wood here. Emperor Qingfeng asked loudly.
"Yes, there is, there is. Hearing Di Qingfeng's inquiry, the boss's eyes lit up, and he knew that there was a big deal coming, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Two, the crystal dragon pattern wood is only one inch longer in ten thousand years, and it has an extraordinary effect on our monks, especially those who cultivate water attribute exercises, and it is really a treasure among treasures. Our store is not placed here, two, upstairs please. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
