Chapter 3: Hunt for the Horse Thief

In the small wooden house room, Qin Yang's voice became deeper and deeper: "After you were born, your parents entrusted you to me, but they didn't expect the Yan clan's killer to track you down. ”

"Your father died in order to stop the killer's bloody battle, your mother was injured and captured, I took you to escape desperately, and I hid here to settle here in order to escape the Yan killer. ”

He looked at Qin Yun, his eyes were full of love: "I am willing to be a servant by your father's great kindness, although I have died a hundred times, I have no regrets!"

"It's a pity that I was injured internally in that battle, and my strength fell from the Innate Realm to the Qi Refining Realm, and I couldn't help you too much, but fortunately, you worked hard enough, and now you have finally succeeded in opening the pulse, I believe that your father will feel comforted when the Heavenly Spirit knows." ”

As a former Innate Realm powerhouse, Qin Yang's vision was absolutely sophisticated, so he could see at a glance that Qin Yun had successfully opened his pulse and promoted to the Qi Refining Realm.

"Grandpa" hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, Qin Yun choked and said, "Don't say it, let's heal your injuries first." ”

"Silly boy, grandpa can't get better this time" Qin Yang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Qin Yun's face, and his gaze became stern: "You have to remember that the men of the Qin family bleed without tears, never cry again in the future, you must be stronger!"

"I have inquired in many ways, your mother should still be imprisoned in the forbidden palace of the Great Yan Emperor now, she gave everything for you back then, you must rescue her no matter what, mother and son are reunited!"

"I know, don't worry!" Qin Yun nodded vigorously, his face was full of determination: "I will definitely save my mother!"

"The masters of the Great Yan Imperial Family are like clouds, and there are countless strong people, with your current strength, don't try to break into the Forbidden Palace to save people. Qin Yang continued: "But I'm already ready for you. ”

He took out a cloth bag from under the pillow and put it in Qin Yun's hand: "This is a family jade plate, you take it to Qianchao City, the capital of Guiyang County, to participate in the Qin clan's selection of returning to the sect in October every year, as long as you can stand out in the clan, you will have the opportunity to worship under the Heavenly City Sword Sect!"

An abnormal bright red flashed on Qin Yang's cheeks, and his voice suddenly rose a little: "The Heavenly City Sword Sect is one of the top ten sects in Kyushu, only by mastering the supreme sword path of the sect's inheritance, can you have the strength to do what you want to do!"

"Before that, you must keep in mind that you must never let others know your background!"

"I remember," Qin Yun replied in a trembling voice, feeling ominous in his heart.

"That's good, it's a pity I can't see you"

Qin Yang showed a hint of a smile, the look in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his voice became lower and lower.

He slowly leaned back on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and passed away!

"Grandpa!"

Qin Yun's grief-stricken roars and weepings spread throughout the village through the thin wooden planks of the room.

The villagers of Shanglie Village gathered around and gathered in front of the door, knowing that Qin Yang had passed away, they almost cried with grief.

Qin Yang's popularity in Shanghou Village is second only to the old village chief, many people have received his favor, this time he died to protect the village, who can not feel it?

As the sun set, the sky was completely dark, but there were more and more people gathered at the door of the Qin family.

After a long time, the door of the room opened, and Qin Yun, whose eyes were red and swollen, walked out from inside.

"Yun boy, your grandfather alas!" the old village chief wiped a handful of old tears, choked up and didn't know what to say.

Qin Yun was extremely calm, after experiencing this great change, and knowing his true life experience, he suddenly matured a lot.

Although his face was still childish, he revealed a bit of slaughter, and his eyes were faintly hideous.

"Grandpa Shi, tell me, what's going on?"

It turned out that in the afternoon, when Qin Yun was still cultivating on the side of Hantan, a team of horse thieves with more than a dozen horses suddenly broke into Shanghou Village.

Since most of the hunters in the village had not returned at this time, and the horse thieves were strong, the unarmed villagers were powerless to resist, and several people were killed on the spot.

At the critical moment, Qin Yang appeared in time to kill several horse thieves, and the same horse thief leader with a giant sword in his hand fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, resulting in both defeats.

Later, as more and more villagers fought back, the horse thief fled with the corpse of his companion.

However, despite repelling the horse thief, Qin Yang was seriously injured as a result.

"In which direction did they flee?" Qin Yun asked in a deep voice, his calm voice containing boundless anger.

"Running to the south, the village chief has already sent someone to the town to report the news. One of the villagers replied.

There is a small town dozens of miles east of Shanghou Village, and for such a major event as encountering horse thieves and bandits, the village must notify the government there to send someone to arrest them, and these ordinary villagers alone cannot deal with the murderous horse thieves.

Qin Yun turned around and returned to the house without saying a word, and when he came out again, he had a hunting bow on his back, an arrow bag and a machete!

"Yun boy, what do you want to do?" The old village chief was startled: "Don't be impulsive, they have already run away, or wait"

Before he finished his words, Qin Yun separated the crowd and ran towards the outside of the village quickly, and the villagers next to him didn't have time to stop him.

At this moment, Qin Yun was full of anger, and he only thought about avenging his grandfather, and he would not listen to anyone's persuasion.

"This kid!"

Looking at Qin Yun's back as he quickly drowned in the night, the old village chief stomped his feet heavily and shouted loudly: "We can't let Yun Boy have another accident, all the hunters bring weapons and torches, and go chase with me!"

When the hunters of Shangzheng Village, under the command of the old village chief, took their equipment and formed a team out of the village to chase Qin Yun, Qin Yun was already more than ten miles away, following the traces left by the horse thieves.

At the age of twelve, he joined the village's hunting party, and in the past three years he hunted in the mountains, hunting many tigers, leopards and beasts, tracking the horseshoe marks on the ground.

Qin Yun had never learned the Light Body Lifting Technique, and in order to be able to catch up with the enemy as quickly as possible, he adopted the stupid method of instilling true qi into his legs to increase his strength.

Despite this, the effectiveness of using True Qi without skill is very low, but it is undoubtedly much faster than running purely by foot power before.

After chasing out sixty or seventy miles in one go, Qin Yun was sweating like pulp and soaking his clothes, and finally found the flickering fire in the woods not far ahead.

In the oncoming wind, there was a faint sound of talking.

Found them!

The daring thieves didn't go far, probably thinking that the villagers would not dare to chase them, so they stopped in the forest to rest.

Qin Yun clenched his fists hard, his nails digging into his flesh to force himself to calm down.

When Qin Yang was alive, he had taught him more than once that he must keep a clear head when encountering things or dangers, otherwise it would be easy to suffer losses or even give up his life.

Although Qin Yun wanted to kill the horse thief immediately, he did not lose his basic sanity.

You must know that the leader of the horse thieves can fight with Qin Yang to lose both, even if he is injured now, it is not something that Qin Yun, who has just opened his pulse, can easily deal with, not to mention that there are other horse thieves.

If you rush straight into the head of a dizzy mind, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you will also have to take your own life.

Qin Yang's painstaking teaching for more than ten years played a role, and Qin Yun, who had calmed down, slowed down and held his breath, and approached the woods silently.

In the woods, the big man sitting in front of the campfire raised his head and looked vigilantly from side to side, as if sensing something.

He was a burly man, with a fierce appearance and a blood-stained sackcloth on his naked upper body, apparently having just been injured.

On the ground beside the bearded man, there was also a palm-wide giant sword, and the light bronze sword body refracted a sharp light under the reflection of the firelight.

"What's wrong, boss?" asked a horse thief next to him, cautiously.

"It's okay" The bearded man shook his head and said in a deep voice to his men sitting around the campfire, "You can't stay here for long, we'll leave after filling our stomachs!"

The horse thieves nodded in unison, and no one dared to disobey his orders.

Despite this, the bearded man's heart was not happy at all.

He was hired to do things in Guiyang County, and after completing it, he made a detour back to his lair, and passed by Shangzheng Village in the afternoon to loot on a whim, so that his brothers could relax and relax.

I didn't expect that in this remote mountain village, there would be a master of the Qi Refining Realm!

After the fierce battle, the bearded man not only lost four of his subordinates, but also fought with the other party to lose both sides, and fled without anything, which was really a loss of face.

The bearded man secretly swore in his heart that when he returned to his lair to recover from his injuries, he would bring someone to slaughter the village, otherwise he would not be able to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

The horse thieves hurriedly finished their baked hot dry food, and the bearded man saw that he was almost done, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

The horse thief next to him quickly got up and said attentively: "Boss, I'll take it!"

A feathered arrow suddenly shot out of the darkness, striking him in the neck with precision and ferocity!

The cast-iron arrow pierced his neck, turning his unspoken words into a terrible, short scream, and his eyes bulging to the ground, and he looked like he couldn't live.

"Who!?"

"There are enemies!"

The horse thieves exploded suddenly, all of them were outlaws who licked blood with knives, and they were not frightened by the sudden attack, and quickly used their weapons.

The bearded man reacted the fastest, and at the same time that his men fell to the ground with arrows, he reached out and grabbed the giant sword, his face full of evil.

Sou!

Another feathered arrow shot out of the forest, aiming at the bearded man's chest.

Bite!

The bearded man had already prepared, and raised his sword to protect his chest to block the feather arrow.

And he also discovered the opponent's location, the giant sword pointed to the left, and shouted: "He's there, let's kill him together!"

Seven or eight horse thieves immediately screamed and pounced in the direction pointed by the bearded man.

On the other side of the woods, Qin Yun placed the third feather arrow on the bowstring.
