Chapter 4: Eight years

Qiu Xiao rolled around on the ground and rolled to Wei Qing's feet, before Wei Qing had time to wonder what kind of performance art this was, then Qiu Xiao hugged Wei Qing's legs, Wei Qing twisted his body hard to get rid of the restraints, but he couldn't get rid of this despicable boy at all.

Qiu Xiao hugged Wei Qing's legs and put his head on Wei Qing's lower abdomen, ran a few steps and kicked his legs, and flew half a meter high against Wei Qing.

With a bang, Wei Qing fell heavily to the ground.

Ahem, ahem!

Wei Qing clutched his chest and coughed, this time he choked enough, and he was a little out of breath.

"Good, good!" The bald eunuch applauded and motioned for Qiu Xiao to stop.

The bald eunuch helped Wei Qing up and said at the same time; "Although the moves are very scoundrels, the battle is not above board, and it is right to win."

Wei Qing bit her lip slightly, she was very unconvinced, and she could see it from her eyes.

Qiu Xiao passed the test and successfully became the seedling of the Shadow Gate, Yunhe paid Qiu Xiao a bald eunuch and left after paying an entrance fee, his good man has done it to the end, it's time to enjoy his new life.

The bald eunuch walked to the window of the tower, and Qiu Xiao and Wei Qing followed him.

Looking at the light falling on the window and the shadow under the windowsill, the bald eunuch asked Qiu Xiao; "Do you want to be light, or shadow?"

Qiu Xiao asked puzzled; "What is light? What is Shadow? ”

The bald eunuch patiently explained; "Light is to subdue the demon beast and do something that can see the light."

Qiu Xiao: "What about the shadow?" ”

The corners of the bald eunuch's mouth raised slightly, and he said: "Shadow, the way of assassination, the way of assassins, come and go without a trace, kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for thousands of miles, this is the shadow." ”

Qiu Xiao had already thought about it, and replied: "I want to be light, I want to surrender the demon beast and become a big hero!" ”

The bald eunuch looked out the window at the seagull flying outside the window, only to see a seagull hovering above the surface of the sea suddenly find a target and swoop into the water to catch a plump fish, and then another larger seagull appeared and snatched its prey.

The bald eunuch shook his head slightly and said to himself: "Light and shadow depend on each other, and there are no heroes in our industry." ”

......

The wheel of time is rolling forward, and before you know it, eight years have passed, and Qiu Xiao has reached the age of eighteen at this time.

The north coast of Haohai City.

A black-clad boy is experimenting with his new moves.

Drink!

The young man snorted softly, and the flying sword in his hand slammed into the water, causing a circle of splashes, and countless splashes turned into sword blades that shone golden in the sun.

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, only the Yangtze River skyline is seen!

The flying sword roared towards the reef in the distance, and countless splashes of sword blades also moved, and its momentum was like an endless river.

Boom!!!

The reef was first shattered by the flying sword, then smashed into powder by the spraying blades that followed, and finally the light powder was scattered on the surface of the sea.

"Red Hitomi, it's time for a mission."

There was shouting behind him.

The boy looked back and saw a sturdy man walking towards him.

Red pupil is Qiu Xiao's code name in the shadow gate, this code name is also based on his eyes, for some reason, the pupil of his left eye begins to turn scarlet with age, but the right eye is a normal black pupil.

At this time, Qiu Xiao didn't know that there was a fierce beast gluttony sleeping in his body, and the gluttony who had awakened after being attacked by a blue snake in Shenshuling eight years ago had slept again until now.

Qiu Xiao greeted; "Captain, what is the mission so important that you can come to me in person."

The sturdy man in front of him is codenamed Manniu, and he is the captain of the seventh squad of the Shadow Gate Demon Hunting Sect, with a total of five members in the team, Manniu, Red Pupil, Falcon, White Wolf, and Snow Deer.

The brute bull looked mysterious and said; "Have you ever heard of ghouls?"

Qiu Xiao put the sword in his sheath, shook his head and asked, "What is that?" ”

The bull said; "The dead are resurrected and crawl out of the grave, and have a near-immortal vitality."

Qiu Xiao was a little surprised; "What? And this kind of thing? ”

The brute nodded; "Yes, this commission is about ghouls."

He went on to say; "A ghoul rebellion broke out in Panxiao City, which is said to be man-made, and the city lord successfully activated the magic circle at the bottom of the city before he died, trapping the ghouls in the city and preventing the spread."

Panxiao City? For Qiu Xiao, this is a familiar and unfamiliar place, the Qin Mansion is in Panxiao City, and the Qin Zheng who betrayed him eight years ago, I don't know if they are still alive now?

Qiu Xiao asked; "And what is our mission, to kill all the ghouls?"

Brute Bull denies; "No, we can't kill ghouls, and we can't do it."

He went on to say; "Investigate the cause of the outbreak and catch the culprit behind it, as for the ghouls, only by detonating the big array can we really stop the spread."

Qiu Xiao's face became a little serious and asked; "Destroy the city?"

The brute bull said helplessly; "Yes, there is no other way but to destroy the city, without further ado, see you at the city gate tomorrow."

Qiu Xiao nodded; "Okay."

After the wild cow left, Qiu Xiao sat alone on the beach and watched the waves for a while.

The waves of the sea rose and fell one after the other, just like the thoughts in his heart.

Qin Zheng betrayed me and almost killed me, if I met him in Panxiao City, would I save him or not?

Save? He treats me like this, why should I save it?

Don't you save it? Am I not like him anymore?

Forget it, why haven't you encountered such a tangled problem, in case he is already dead, or maybe he may not be in Panxiao City.

And that "father", what kind of father is that? Is an illegitimate child a dog's life? Has he cared about me for so many years, not even a greeting, and he has never looked for me in the eight years since I disappeared.

But no matter how you say it, he also accepted me to be raised in the Qin Mansion for ten years, is it too unconscionable for me to think so?

Qiu Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly; "I don't want to, just let it pass, it's enough for me to be my current self."

He stood up and patted Sha Shuo, who was stuck to the back of his ass.

Suddenly, a hand behind him patted him on the shoulder.

Qiu Xiao's body trembled in shock; "You scared me!"

"What are you doing?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.

Qiu Xiao stretched out his hand and scratched his head; "Hellly, can you make a little noise next time you walk?"

"I can't." Wei Qing pretended to be serious.

She then jokingly asked, "Are you scared?" ”

Qiu Xiao was puzzled: "What am I afraid of?" You, that's really scary. ”

Wei Qing sat next to Qiu Xiao and said; "I just met the bull, and he told me that you were going to investigate the ghouls tomorrow."

Qiu Xiao said: "Well, yes, do you want to be together?" Ghoul novelty: This quest should be quite exciting. ”

Wei Qing saw half a colorful shell exposed in the sand, she reached out and picked it up, then shook her head and said; "That's not necessary, the lightmen of the Demon Hunter Sect, the world will be left to you to save, and I will only be the shadow of the guardian balance."

Qiu Xiao turned his head and asked, "Don't you have any tasks recently, I see that you are quite leisurely day by day." ”

Wei Qing fiddled with the shells he picked up and said; "Well, how can anyone want to assassinate this and that every day, unlike you busy people, who are either haunted here or haunted there all day long."

Qiu Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows at Wei Qing and said, "Let's talk?" ”

"Come on, I'm afraid you won't make it." Wei Qing got up.

"Okay, show you my new moves!"

Qiu Xiao drew his sword.

"Come on!"

Wei Qing flipped his hands, and two daggers flashing with cold light appeared in his hands.

Qiu Xiao and Wei Qing fought on the coast with flying sand and rocks, the tide and waves were overturning, the two were on par with each other, and after exhaustion, Qiu Xiao threw his sword aside, and lay down on the beach, while Wei Qing turned over again and disappeared at the same time, and then sat on the sand with his back against the rock, the two looked at each other and laughed.
