Qingzhou is rich in products, this product not only refers to rice grains, fruits and vegetables, mineral deposits, etc., but also spiritual materials, elixirs all over the mountains, rivers and rivers, and nine of the ten prefecture-level divine soldiers come from various dangerous places in Qingzhou, or the desolate deep mountains, or the cliffs full of corpses, and then the poisonous insects, rats and ants in the swamps one by one, in short, the more inaccessible the place, the more likely there are treasures, this seems to have become a rule.

And the various sects and sects that have lifted the ban have also sent disciples to search for treasures in various places and look for opportunities, after all, not to mention the treasures that can be found, how many sects have changed over the past few thousand years, and it is impossible to say where there will be traces left by predecessors.

Out of the rainy city to the west to another small city Bailiguo, there is no city within three hundred miles, there are some mountains and villages, maybe there will be a slightly larger town is already precious, the name of Bailiguo comes from this. There are no official roads between these villages and towns, but there are small dirt roads that connect them to the official roads. And the official road is basically straight to the city, all paved with bluestone, up to two zhang wide, four horses side by side will not seem crowded, Qingzhou successive generations of state lords continue to repair to reach such a scale, mainly used for the transportation of goods, the transfer of government troops, official inspections and so on. Although the official road is good, the people generally do not go, and prefer to follow the dirt road not far from the official road to communicate with each other, which is also a habit formed by the people for a long time, just because the government army relied on these official roads to save too many people when the demons were in trouble.

But now there are pedestrians coming and going on this official road, it may be that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the government army is becoming less and less mobilized, at this time there are not only people on the road, but also some of the heroes who know that it is not easy to mess with. These people can be called low-level martial artists, after all, everyone can slash the sword and stick twice, and the reason why there are far more martial artists in the world than Xuanmen monks is also because of this, the threshold is too low.

However, it is not okay to call these half-hung people cultivators, they are not qualified enough.

In the past, there were bans in the five states, although these people couldn't sit still, they could only endure it, but now there is no ban constraints, they dance knives and sticks all day long, not to mention the five states list is out, which makes them think nonsense all day long, and they feel that if they can make a name for themselves, maybe they can also be on the list of masters in the five states, and it is not bad to be elected as a sage by a good person, even if they are taught a lesson and accepted as a disciple of the disciple, it is a good thing.

In this way, the heroes naturally can't help but come to the official road to wait, often in groups of three or five, bullying and oppressing the people to shake and shake their prestige, pick a good bully sect cultivator to fight, win naturally to "teach", if you lose, you will call all the heroes to rush up, anyway, before entering the Xuan level, the gap between the cultivation of cultivators and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes is not obvious, not to mention that they are many and powerful, since the other party has left the sect to travel, how can they easily call the elders of the sect? It's a big deal to hide for a few days, and when the limelight passes, who can wait for revenge all year round?

The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake.

There is a small private tea shop on the side of the official road less than 20 miles away from Bailiguo, I don't know which village is nearby, the villagers see that there are many people on the official road, and they are built with bamboo, wood and thatch, selling some coarse tea, loose wine, cooked meat, steamed buns, etc., and because it does not hinder the official road, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, and after two days, it is quite popular and slowly prosperous.

The tea shop is not big, there are only eight tables in total, but there are a lot of people, and there are people sitting at each table. There are three people sitting together on the edge of the tea shop, there are knives and axes on the table and under the table, no accident must be a good man in the rivers and lakes, one of the men with a golden wire ring knife in his arms said to the other two solemnly with a face full of meat: "Have you heard, there are cultivators who have killed people on the official road, and it is our famous hero Han Hu on the official road who has been killed!"

Sitting opposite the man was a short, black-faced middle-aged man, who heard the words and said: "This matter has already spread, and I heard that the heroes of the entire official road have united to catch the murderer and avenge Boss Han." ”

The other person was the other one who was in the right eye, and also said, "Isn't this what happened yesterday?

The man said: "Probably not, I heard that the woman was besieged and injured, and she will definitely find a place to heal first." ”

"Then she has already gone somewhere else, and she can't have to take this official road, right?" Although the pair of eyes looked stupid, her words were not lacking in focus, and they were indeed targeted.

The man shook his head and said, "No, she once said that she would go to Baili Guo to find the elders of the sect, so she will definitely not run away." ”

"In this way, we must catch her before she enters Baili Guo, otherwise I am afraid that it will alarm her master, and if a Xuan-level master comes out, we will not be able to eat and leave!" said the middle-aged man with a black face.

At this time, the other eye lowered his voice and asked the man: "Does the eldest brother know what kind of dispute caused Boss Han to be killed?"

The man glanced at the brother opposite and said, "You are still clever, and there are indeed some reasons." He beckoned the two brothers to lean their heads and continued: " It is said that Boss Han originally thought that the woman was good-looking and laughed a few words, and found that the woman was extremely nervous about the package, so he asked the woman what it was, but he didn't expect the woman to be extremely stubborn, but she was unwilling, so there was a dispute, and she also brought a magic weapon on her body, and defeated Boss Han in a few rounds. ”

"In that case, if we catch that woman, wouldn't we have both people and money?" said to his eyes.

The black-faced middle-aged man also agreed: "That's it, the three of us brothers will be beautiful by then, and the eldest brother will be the boss of this official road, and we can also stand up our chests and be good men, wouldn't it be cool?"

The man holding the knife laughed when he heard this, causing the people in the tea shop to look over, but he was afraid of the weapons in the hands of the three of them and did not say much.

At this time, a man walked behind the three people, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, but carrying a long strip of luggage, with a lot of plaster on his face, and a coarse cloth crown, walked quickly to the tea shop, found a table with one person, and asked the person sitting next to the table: "This brother, there are many people in the tea shop, can you let me sit here?" The voice was rough and strange, but it was quite polite.

The man lowered his head and looked at a thin book on the table, as if he was reading it carefully, and when he heard the man's question, he didn't look up, only stretched out his hand and made a gesture to sit down, and then stopped talking, just picked up a few slices of cooked meat and put it in his mouth.

"Thank you, brother!" said the man in the short shirt, and sat down opposite, perhaps very hungry, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to come and greet him, he shouted in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of tea, a plate of cooked meat, and a steamed bun." ”

The shopkeeper is an old farmer who looks sixty or seventy years old, his hands and feet are still neat, and when he heard this, a pair of cloudy eyes looked at the man in the short shirt carefully, and said slowly: "This little brother, the old man's tea is not worth much, just a bowl, the old man has the right to invite you." As he spoke, he put the steamed bun on the cooked meat and picked it up casually, and with the other hand holding an empty tea bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks, he walked over and put it in front of the man in the short shirt, and was about to go back to the stove to lift the teapot but saw the guest at this table lift the teapot in front of him and pour a full bowl into the empty bowl in front of the man in the short shirt.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled and walked away, taking a deep look at the customer, who was still reading the brochure with his head down.

The man in the short shirt was stunned: "This... Thank you, brother!"

However, the person on the other side still only cared about the book on the study table, and when he heard the man in the short shirt thank him, he only waved his hand, and once again put a few pieces of cooked meat in his mouth and chewed it, and then stopped speaking.

The man in the short shirt was indeed very hungry, a steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand was a gobble, and he didn't eat a few bites, and he was choked, Rao is face was full of mud, and he could still see that he was suffocated, and he hurriedly picked up the tea and poured a few sips before he relieved himself, and rested for a while before eating the remaining steamed buns and cooked meat.

And from beginning to end, the person on the other side didn't look at him, just turned the page of the book in front of him lightly.

"Little brother, the old man will give you another bowl of tea to drink!" said the old farmer who carried a teapot and walked up to the man in the short shirt.

Seeming a little shy, or embarrassed, the man in the short shirt whispered, "Ah... Then thank you. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, everyone has a difficult time when they go out, old man, I can see at a glance that you ...... little brother" The old farmer lifted the teapot as he spoke, and was about to pour tea into the tea bowl, but someone grabbed the bowl of the man in the short shirt in front of him.

The old farmer of the shop was stunned for a moment, looked at the guest opposite, and said, "Guest officer, little old man, I was about to pour tea for this guest officer, please put the tea bowl back." ”

"I still have some tea left, it should be enough to quench the thirst of this brother, so I won't bother with the shop!"

The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and the old farmer of the shop said again: "Then let the old man and I add some hot tea to the guest officer!"

The person on the other side sneered, raised his head and said, "When can a small tea shop be so generous and send tea out for nothing?

The man in the short shirt was a little confused by the situation of the two competing for tea, and he was a little surprised when he heard the words, and looked at the opposite side, a young man who was as gentle as jade, with a beautiful face that was not inferior to a woman, a pair of narrow eyes with black and white distinctions, and looked at the store with a hint of playfulness.

The movement here has already alarmed the other tea drinkers, and they have all looked here.

"In that case, then the old man won't bother the two!"

The old farmer walked away slowly, but for some reason, the man in the short shirt always felt that the old man was a little angry.

"Thank you, a... Young man!" The man in the short shirt repeatedly accepted the kindness of the young man opposite, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart, and stood up slightly and arched his hand to the young man, but after standing up, he didn't know how to call the young man for a while, so he had to call a young man as usual.

But the young man on the other side added some tea to the two tea bowls, lowered his voice and said intentionally or unintentionally: "You better sit down, I heard that the three heroes outside the shed said that they want to find a female cultivator's revenge, I don't know if they will recognize the wrong person." As he spoke, he put away the book he had been reading for a long time from the table and put it in the package behind him.

The man in the short shirt glanced at the book with the word "Heavenly Sword" vaguely written, and when he heard the young man's words, he couldn't help but stutter: "No, I don't know what you say, what you mean!" The rough voice was a little flustered.

"I mean, this sister, you've been discovered!"
