Chapter 9 The world is not deep, and the undercurrent is sad
In the City Lord's Mansion of Sad Heaven City, Bai Hao was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, his eyes closed, and he was exercising his pranayama. Qiu Cheng stood behind him and looked at Bai Hao with a worried expression. Bai Hao, who was pranayama, suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood to the ground.
"City Lord!"
Qiu Cheng wanted to move forward. Bai Hao waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just forced out the bruises on my chest, and I can heal after two days of recuperation." ”
Qiu Cheng's hanging heart finally let go. After he arranged a house in the city to Xuanyuan Baige, he explained a few words to Xuanyuan Baige, and then went back to Bai Hao to make an errand, but saw Bai Hao pressing one hand on his chest, and walked into the city lord's mansion with a seriously injured appearance, which scared him a lot.
"City Lord, are you injured?"
Bai Hao smiled bitterly, and said with a little loneliness on his face: "Who else can there be?" ”
"Is it the man today?"
"That's right."
As soon as he heard this, Qiu Cheng's brows furrowed into a pimple, he was shocked and confused in his heart, he didn't understand what was going on, it stands to reason that Jiang Tianzong should be a friend of the city lord, how could he be injured by him, and the city lord has cultivated profoundly, guarded the city of Beitian for many years, and is a rare master in the world, how could he be injured?
"It's just that I want to learn from him, but I didn't expect this old monster's cultivation to be far-reaching beyond my expectations, and it actually ......"
Speaking of this, Bai Hao couldn't help but think of Jiang Tianzong's ghostly figure, remembered that Jiang Tianzong's last palm landed firmly on his chest, and couldn't help but let out another wry smile, shook his head, and didn't say any more.
"City Lord, who is this person, even the City Lord is not an opponent?"
Bai Hao got up and said slowly: "One person, one sect, volleying is like a ghost, killing people in two moves." ”
Qiu Cheng was taken aback when he heard this: "What, that person is the Lord of the Nine Shadows Peak?" ”
Bai Hao nodded lightly.
As Bai Hao's confidant, Qiu Cheng immediately asked without scruples: "My subordinates have been following the city lord for many years, but I have never heard the city lord mention that there is such a terrible friend?" ”
Bai Hao didn't speak, he looked up at the sky, his expression slowly became trance, as if immersed in distant memories, there were a few feather clouds floating in the clear blue sky, light and light, as if as long as the wind was stronger, they would disperse.
Bai Hao suddenly turned his head and asked, "Qiu Cheng, do you say that Jiang Lao deserves to die?" ”
Qiu Cheng, who was waiting on the side, was confused by Bai Hao's abrupt question, but he still replied: "Jiang Tianzong killed countless people back then, and in the eyes of the righteous people, he was already the one who should be killed, hmph, but that is the opinion of the people in the righteous path, his subordinates are people from the Sad Heaven City, whether he should die or not, his subordinates should not make a conclusion." ”
"Hehe, don't you know?"
"Yes, my subordinates don't know."
Bai Hao turned his head and said softly: "I know Jiang Lao because of my father. ”
"It has something to do with the old city lord!?"
"My father was in distress when he was young and almost died, but fortunately Jiang Lao rescued him, and he escaped."
"I see."
"Although the good and evil of our people in Sadness City are uncertain, my father still repays his kindness, invites Jiang Lao to Sadness City as a guest, gives Jiang Lao the ring he wears, and makes a promise to do something within his ability for him, which is valid for generations, and the ring is proof. When I was still young, I saw Jiang Lao and saw Jiang Lao unceremoniously accept the ring. ”
"The old city lord has always been a promise, he will do what he says, and if he can get his promise, Jiang Tianzong must have a great appetite for the old city lord!"
"That's right! Father admired Jiang Lao very much, but until his father left, no one appeared with a ring. Before he died, my father told me to keep my promise for him, and if I died, I would pass it on until someone appeared with a ring. ”
"Then Jiang Tianzong came this time to ask the city lord to fulfill his promise?"
Bai Hao's tone was heavy, and he seemed to be smiling, interrupting Qiu Cheng's words: "Yes! Jiang always asked me to fulfill my promise, and a year ago he quietly came here with a ring to look for me! I just didn't expect the promise he wanted me to fulfill was this! ”
"Subordinates unknown."
"Xuanyuan White Song."
Qiu Cheng frowned, the promise of a city lord of Sorrowful Heaven City turned out to be related to a teenager.
"You should know the rules of our Sorrowful Heaven City!"
"Life and death don't care, you can get in but can't get out!"
Bai Hao nodded with a smile.
Qiu Cheng was also happy after he understood: "Could it be that Jiang Tianzong wants the city lord to break the rules?" That's a big promise, isn't it? ”
"This old monster sent his apprentice here to hone his training, and he will come back in four years."
"Then the city lord gave Xuanyuan Baige jade pendant?"
"There is one of my qi machines on it, which can let me know the life and death of Xuanyuan Baige."
"Since Jiang Tianzong sent him here, he should also know that life and death are fateful in Beitian City, and no one can control it, why does the city lord want to protect Xuanyuan Baige?"
Bai Hao snorted coldly: "Hmph! Although he didn't say anything, he asked Xuanyuan Baige to accept my jade pendant. ”
"The subordinates know how to do it. However, the subordinates are curious, this son has average qualifications, how can he be accepted as an apprentice by a top master like Jiang Tianzong? ”
"Hahahaha......"
Bai Hao suddenly burst out laughing. Qiu Cheng looked at Bai Hao puzzled.
Bai Hao laughed for a while, stopped, and said in a firm tone: "Is qualification really that important?" I vaguely feel that there is an infinite potential like a beast hidden in this son's body, and he will be the number one character in the future, but he is really terrifying. ”
……
In the city of Sad Sky City, Xuanyuan Baige was settled by Qiu Cheng in the house where he is now. At this moment, Xuanyuan Baige had several pieces of paper in front of him, all of which were written with dense words, and in the current one, there were three words that were particularly obvious: Nine Secret Secrets.
Xuanyuan Baige looked at the Nine Secret Techniques, his mood was both excited and heavy, he believed that as long as he mastered the Nine Secret Techniques, he would be stronger and not far away. Xuanyuan Baige silently recited the duel several times, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he immediately burned it.
Xuanyuan Baige stretched his waist, looked outside, and realized that it was still early, so he got up and went out, wanting to familiarize himself with the environment here. Walking on the street, the expression on Xuanyuan Baige's face was firmly written with two words: accident.
Jiang Tianzong told him that everyone here was a great evildoer. But now he saw that there was a harmonious scene in this sad city, the crowd was bustling, no different from ordinary people, which was contrary to the picture he imagined that there were murders and evil everywhere, how could he not be surprised?
"Huh! This little brother, buy a meat bun and try it, my meat bun here is unique in this city, but it is the most delicious. ”
Xuanyuan Baige turned around to look when he heard this, only to see a middle-aged man with kind eyebrows looking at him with a smile and lifting the lid in front of him. The steamed buns in the steamer were steaming, emitting bursts of tempting incense, Xuanyuan Baige touched his stomach and asked, "How do you sell these buns?" ”
"Five dollars a piece."
Xuanyuan Baige took out the money and said, "Bring me two." ”
"Okay!"
The boss skillfully picked up two buns, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Xuanyuan Baige.
Xuanyuan Baige picked up a bun, and as soon as he bit into it, a stream of meat juice splashed out, and Xuanyuan Baige chewed a few bites, feeling that the meat filling was still very chewy.
"Your bun is really delicious!"
The boss smiled and said to Xuanyuan Baige: "Hehe, of course the human meat buns are delicious." ”
"What!"
Xuanyuan Baige was shocked when he heard this, and immediately spit out the residue in his mouth and reached out to clasp his throat.
The boss squinted at Xuanyuan Baige and said, "It's poured, it's poured!" ”
Xuanyuan Baige, who was squeezing his throat, suddenly felt dizzy and felt weak in his limbs.
"You ......"
Xuanyuan Baige angrily pointed at the owner of the steamed bun shop who was still smiling, and before the word "poison" could be spoken, his eyes rolled and he fell to the ground.
What happened next was also something outside of Xuanyuan Baige's memory.
The owner of the steamed bun shop put away his smiling face, looked coldly at Xuanyuan Baige who fell to the ground, stepped forward, and kicked Xuanyuan Baige with his foot, but Xuanyuan Baige did not react.
"I didn't expect there to be such a stinky hairy boy in Sad Sky City, so easy to fall for the scheme, tomorrow's meat filling has fallen, hahaha......"
After speaking, the owner of the steamed bun shop squatted down to search Xuanyuan Baige's body.
"Tut-tut, I didn't think that Qu Liangpeng, who had first-class swordsmanship, would actually use this kind of indiscriminate means against a teenager."
"Commander Qiu, you know the rules of this Sad Heaven City better than I do."
Qu Liangpeng didn't raise his head, and continued to skillfully grope on Xuanyuan Baige's body, and soon found out the broken silver, jade pendant, and finally took out a short knife from his sleeve.
Qiu Cheng leaned down and said to Qu Liangpeng in a low voice: "I naturally know very well, but you can't kill this person!" ”
"Has this day changed, I can still hear the words 'can't kill' in the City of Sorrowful Heaven!"
Qu Liangpeng took the broken silver into his arms, then picked up Xuanyuan Baige's short knife and looked at it, and then turned his head to look at Qiu Cheng, his eyes full of smiles.
Qiu Cheng looked at the jade in Xiao Lili's hand, then nodded it with his hand, accentuated his tone, and said coldly: "No!" Yes! Kill! ”
After Qiu Cheng finished speaking, he got up and left. Qu Liangpeng squatted in place, looking at the place where Qiu Cheng was standing just now, where two one-inch-deep footprints suddenly appeared! Qu Liangpeng still has a smiling face, but his smile is a little stiff. Qu Liangpeng looked at the jade pendant in his hand again, pinched his thumb on it and slowly pressed it, and then his face changed, and he instantly returned to normal.
"Unlucky, I really can't kill it!"
Qu Liangpeng hung the jade pendant back on Xuanyuan Baige's waist, looked up, and found that someone stopped to watch here, thinking that it was Qiu Cheng's behavior that attracted the attention of this person who didn't care about other people's lives or deaths.
Qu Liangpeng snorted haha and said, "It's all scattered, scattered, haha, there's nothing to look at in a robbery." ”
In this sad city, in the dark, there are many pairs of eyes staring at this scene. In an attic not far away, two figures were staring at the place, and one of them said:
"Brother, what do you think?"
The voice is delicate, and it is actually a woman.
Another figure said in a deep and steady voice, "New here, but I can't move for the time being." ”
"Qiu Cheng?"
"Although he can kill Qu Liangpeng, he can't make him succumb."
Suddenly, another voice sounded behind the two: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the above." ”
The man with a strong voice turned around and said coldly, "Hmph! Blood scholar, are you also interested in this newcomer? ”
"Aren't the two of you also beating people's ideas, I don't want to miss this excitement."
The woman said quietly: "I'm afraid that this excitement can't be hot."
The Blood Scholar sighed: "Yes."
