"it!"

Xu was stunned and cold, and his whole body trembled with fright, and his scalp was numb.

Then subconsciously turned around and swung his knife to slash over.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The falling star slashed directly into the air, and at the same time, a black object circled twice in the air, and then landed on the beam.

"Zi said: Three times a day, I save my body."

The two eyes of the black shadow glowed, and they made a sound that was sharper than that of a human.

He was stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a parrot, and there was a false alarm.

It was obviously raised by the scholar before his death.

When it died, the parrot did not leave, and continued to use it as a nest.

Xu Jingzhen cut off a strip of cloth with a knife, wrapped the books, and then left with them.

All the way back to the inn, he lit a candle and began to flip through it.

After reading it, I determined that these were indeed serious classics.

Okay, it looks like there's no harvest tonight.

He rewrapped the book and put it on the bedside, not intending to throw it away or burn it.

After all, it's a really good thing, so let's give it to other poor scholars after leaving Baiping Town.

……

Meanwhile, the other side of town.

A dark shadow quickly emerged from the courtyard of a house and fled quickly.

He was familiar with the town streets and avoided patrols altogether.

Wait until you get to the edge of the corner.

The black shadow looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was following, he walked into the house with confidence.

Afterwards, the house was lit up by dim candlelight.

A man in his twenties, dressed in rags and with oily hair, who could fry fish, excitedly opened the box in his hand.

His name was Dog San'er, and there was a famous ruffian in the town.

It's lazy to eat, doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and walks around the streets every day to do evil.

Even dogs are disgusted.

Recently, he set his sights on a foreign merchant and heard that the other party had brought a lot of money.

After squatting and finding out, I finally shot tonight.

I opened the box expectantly, and there were the usual copper coins, a jade pendant, and a worn-out book.

He ignored the book and picked up the money, grinning so hard that his mouth reached the back of his head.

According to the value of the current dynasty, 1,000 wen is equivalent to 2,500 yuan.

That's a lot of money.

A family of three saves a little money, enough for two months' living expenses.

Gou San'er held the money for a long time, and then picked up the jade pendant and looked at it.

Although he didn't know anything about jade, he knew that as long as it was genuine, he could pawn it for a lot of money.

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's been posted! ”

He tucked the jade pendant into the crotch of his pants and finally picked up the book and glanced at it.

A ruffian like him is naturally illiterate.

But if you are uneducated and not an idiot, you can still see what the picture on the cover is.

It turned out to be a portrait of a ** woman.

"Ouch~~ Spring Palace Map??"

Gou San'er's eyes lit up again, a person like him would definitely not be able to get a daughter-in-law, and he would have no money to go to the Qinglou.

It belongs to the state of young firepower, but there is no outlet channel.

Now that there is a little yellow book, how can you not be ready to move.

He hurriedly opened it and checked, and the content of the first page was different from what he had imagined.

It's not a spring palace picture, but a white-green circle is drawn.

He paused for a moment, then turned to the second page.

The painting shows an oval bronze mirror with a woman combing her hair with her back to her, her hair black and long.

Continuing on the third page, the drawing is a chair.

“？？？”

Dog San'er is a little confused, what's the matter, what about the spring palace?

Puzzled, he continued to look down.

The fourth page depicts a woman dressed in black with her arms outstretched, committing suicide by jumping off a cliff.

On the last page, the painting shows a dead forest with white mist and a dry well in the meadow.

"Straight thief!!"

He couldn't help but curse, and directly tore the book and threw it aside.

I thought I could be happy tonight, but it turned out that the paintings were all hairy.

It's depressing!

Gou San'er continued to hold up the appreciation of the money, planning how to be chic.

In the end, I fell asleep with the money unknowingly.

Nothing was said all night.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xu was strolling around the leisurely street.

As I walked, I found that there were tricksters on the side of the road.

A crowd of people was watching and cheering.

He also leaned over to watch the fun, and after ten minutes, he threw a copper coin into the bowl and left.

After walking for a while, two officers and soldiers with different aura walked up.

He is a burly man and wears a black brocade robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon and a horizontal sword.

This costume is obviously a person from Tiance Mansion.

After seeing him, the other party looked at him twice, and then took the initiative to hug his fist and say hello.

Xu Jingzhen also smiled in return.

Then everyone passed by.

In the Dayu Empire, there are a total of seven major forces that make up this cultivation realm.

First place: Listen to the Rain Pavilion.

His disciples haunt the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, and they are exotic and foreign.

Do not fight for fame, do not fight for profit.

Speaking of human words: jungler.

Sixth place: Red Sleeve Palace.

Only beautiful young women are accepted, who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts and evil methods.

Nicknamed by the world (fox hole)

Speaking people: Celebrity training class.

Seventh place: Urging the village.

There are clouds among the people: when you meet the life-urging village, you have a life-urging debt.

The two sect patriarchs were originally disciples of Tingyu Pavilion, but they were expelled because of their evil nature.

By chance, the two practiced the exercises backwards, and then created a powerful evil method.

Becoming more evil and crazy at the same time.

Specializing in receiving bandits and bandits from all walks of life, the backbone of burning, killing and looting, killing and stealing goods.

It is the Jerusalem of the bad hearts of the whole empire.

Speaking of people: anti-thief den.
