Chapter Three: The Future Saves the Past
In the crack stood an old man with a white beard, and he said to the red-eyed and black-robed man beside him; "Red Hitomi, you only have three seconds."
Begin!
In the first second, the red-eyed and black-robed man appeared above the green python's head at a speed like light.
In the second second, the black mist in his hand condensed and turned into a blade, and the mist blade flowed through the head of the green python like a river, cutting off in an instant.
In the third second, he appeared in front of Qiu Xiao in an instant, his fingers lightly touched Qiu Xiao's forehead, and a sound came into Qiu Xiao's brain; "Find the Dawn Mist and live!"
Three seconds later, the thunder stopped abruptly, and the crack disappeared along with the red-eyed black-robed man.
The head of the green python demon was broken from the neck, and finally shook it and smashed to the ground with a muffled sound.
The young man stood in place in shock, and sighed in his heart that the black-robed man's demon slaughtering method was like a god, only three seconds, but a few breaths of time turned out to be a thousand-year-old snake demon.
The gluttonous power in Qiu Xiao's body was also exhausted.
Gluttony and sleepiness swelled up, and it closed its eyes; "Are you going to sleep again?"
Gluttony closed his eyes and fell asleep, while Qiu Xiao opened his eyes, and he regained control of his body.
He looked at everything in front of him as if it were a dream.
The young man rushed over and swung his sword to cut off the soil hand and catch the fallen Qiu Xiao.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe."
The young man stroked the top of Qiu Xiao's head.
Qiu Xiao's heart is still in a very chaotic state, he is very confused, and he can't even remember why he is here.
Only the words that came to my mind were still very clear.
Find the Obsidian and stay alive......
The young man walked to the severed head of the green python demon, he stretched out his palm and spread his five fingers, and the spiritual power line led out a bright blue round demon pill from the head of the green python demon.
"It's... Is this the Millennium Demon Pill? ”
The value of such a demon pill is enough for ordinary people to be prosperous and wealthy.
He cautiously glanced around, but there was no one.
Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death have long fled far away.
"Then, this demon pill is mine alone!"
Thinking of this young man's heart was ecstatic, now he can really wash his hands in a golden basin, no longer have to step on the tip of the knife every day to live, and can go home to enjoy a lifetime of happiness.
"Is this good news?" He turned his head to look at Qiu Xiao and said; "Where is your home, I'll take you home."
After hearing this, a picture flashed in Qiu Xiao's mind.
A pair of cold hands grabbed the corners of his clothes and pushed himself into danger.
Qiu Xiao shook his head and replied; "I don't have a home."
"Orphans?" The young man turned his head and thought about it, if it weren't for saving this child, he wouldn't have this opportunity in front of him, since good people have good rewards, then good people should do it to the end, anyway, after exchanging the demon pill for money, it is definitely enough for himself, and it doesn't hurt to take out a little bit to find a sect for this child to settle in.
"Would you like to come with me, then?"
The young man squatted in front of Qiu Xiao and asked.
Qiu Xiao glanced at the dead body of the snake demon and nodded; "Hmm."
The young man took Qiu Xiao to Haohai City on the border of Youzhou, and he provided Qiu Xiao with three paths, namely;
The first is to enroll in Tianli City, and you can become a scholar after completing your studies.
In the past, Qiu Xiao followed the former master Qin Zheng all the year round, and he also fell into a temperament that did not like to read, so he didn't choose this one.
The second is to enter the Martial Arts Palace, learn a martial arts, and maybe be a head teacher when you have great skills in the future.
Qiu Xiao was more interested in this, but after listening to the third path that the young man said, he chose the third path without hesitation.
The third one, join the shadow gate, train to become a mercenary, free, unrestrained, and well-paid, if you can get the opportunity of the green python demon pill like a young man, then you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life, but the risk is greater, and this line of work may die at any time.
"Have you thought about it?" The young man asked again.
"Well, no regrets." Qiu Xiao nodded firmly.
"Very good, ambitious, then let me come."
After speaking, the young man led Qiu Xiao to the north of the city.
Haohai City is bordered by the sea in the north, the scenery is very good, the endless sea surface and the sky are one color, from time to time there are gusts of sea breeze refreshing, there is a quiet here, except for the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the sound of the breeze blowing the coconut palms.
The young man led the way to a flawless white tower, which was about to merge with the clouds in the sky.
He knocked lightly on the door lock, and Qiu Xiao followed behind him.
A man dressed in black and wearing an olecranon hood opened the door.
The young man put one hand on his chest, closed his eyes and said with a sense of ceremony; "Everyone dies."
The man in black behind the door also pretended to be the same as the young man, closed his eyes and whispered; "All men must serve."
His words were slow but clear, his tone was a little sharp, and his voice was like that of a woman, yes, he was a eunuch.
I saw that the man in black who was familiar with him took off his hood, his bald head, his eyebrows were very thin, and his skin was very white.
He asked the young man; "Yunhe, haven't you already broken away from the Shadow Gate, why did you come here this time?"
Yunhe is the code name of the young man in the Shadow Gate, and the members of the Shadow Gate usually hide their names and only use their code names.
Yunhe glanced at Qiu Xiao and said; "This kid, he wants to join the Shadow Gate."
"Oh? A child. The bald eunuch turned his eyes to look at Qiu Xiao, this kid is different, and he doesn't have that childishness.
"You want to be a mercenary?" He walked up to Qiu Xiao and bent down, reaching out and slowly slicing down from Qiu Xiao's eyebrows to his chin with the tips of his little thumb.
"It's cruel to be a mercenary." There was an evil charm in his eyes, and he kept putting pressure on Qiu Xiao with his eyes during his speech, if ordinary children looked at each other, they would definitely turn their heads in fear and run away, but Qiu Xiao was indifferent.
Seeing that Qiu Xiao did not react nervously, the bald eunuch nodded in satisfaction, slowly straightened up and nodded and said; "Yes, steady heart."
Again, he said; "However, there is one more test to get started."
Qiu Xiao asked, "What test?" ”
The bald eunuch turned around and entered the tower, leaving down three words; "Follow me."
Entering the tower and coming to the second floor, I heard a sound of heha practicing martial arts when I walked on the stairs before, and now I see it.
A short-haired girl who looks like a tomboy, she is a few years older than Qiu Xiao, because she is a girl, so she is smaller and similar to Qiu Xiao, and there are many long blackened scars on her arms.
The girl was punching the straw-woven dummy, and she threw a punch as fast as a rattlesnake hunting.
"Wei Qing, come here." The bald eunuch summoned the girl.
Wei Qing is the code name of the girl, and the girl has no name because she is an abandoned orphan.
The girl walked silently, which was the most basic thing to be an Assassin, and it took a long time to learn to walk silently.
"Beat her." The bald eunuch spoke out about the test of Qiu Xiao.
Yunhe was a little surprised and said; "What? Can't you change the test, this must not be beaten, this kid hasn't learned any skills. ”
"Hmm~~" The bald eunuch shook his head slightly, signaling Yunhe to shut up.
Ha!
Qiu Xiao suddenly swung out his fist, and Wei Qing's reaction flashed with agility and ease.
Wei Qing walked around Qiu Xiao with his hands behind his back, as if provoking Qiu Xiao.
Qiu Xiao gritted his teeth, rushed towards Wei Qing, and threw a punch again.
The bald eunuch smiled and took a few steps back to make room for the two children.
The punch missed again.
Wei Qing turned over and jumped behind Qiu Xiao, threw out his left leg, and whipped it on Qiu Xiao's back knee socket like a whip.
This leg made Qiu Xiao lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground with a bang.
This girl is also too powerful, I have never seen such a powerful person when I fought with Qin Zheng and the gang of bastards in the city before.
Wei Qing approached and looked at Qiu Xiao lying on the ground with disdain.
But then Qiu Xiao used tricks that could make Wei Qing at a loss.
