The sun had not risen in the early morning, but it was already dawning. The white maple forest outside the city of sorrowful sky swaying with the wind, from time to time a few white maple leaves fall, sometimes the wind is a little stronger, the falling white maple leaves rise in the wind, or fly to the distance, or fly to the sky and slowly fall, like a white butterfly dancing around the city of sorrowful sky in the wind.

Bai Hao, who was sitting on the city wall, quietly looked at this white maple forest, at this time he was dressed in golden armor, his eyes were embarrassed, and his demeanor was calm. The eastern sky gradually overflowed with pieces of golden light, and then a small piece of golden sun was revealed in the sky, and the sky began to brighten, the white maple forest shook gently, and the maple leaves flew, and it seemed to be more pure white under a trace of golden light. The golden light in the east became more and more dazzling, and finally the whole sun rose, and for a while, the heaven and earth were full of light, and a new day was completely ushered in. Under the early sun, the golden armor reflected the golden light, and Bai Hao was like a god descending to the earth, exuding a domineering momentum, so imposing.

Bai Hao opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and stood up. Standing behind Bai Hao, Qiu Cheng saw that after Bai Hao had finished his daily compulsory cultivation, he took a step forward and asked, "What arrangements is the city lord going to make today?" ”

Bai Hao said: "Let the guards practice the new formation, and this time I will break into the formation!" ”

Qiu Cheng heard this, and immediately nodded: "Yes!" I'll arrange it. ”

Bai Hao suddenly changed the topic and asked, "What about Xuanyuan Bai Ge?" ”

"In the past ten days, almost all the people in the city have known in secret and openly that they can't kill him."

"Well, very well, how is he now?"

"It's not life-threatening, but it's miserable."

"What do you mean by that?"

Qiu Cheng whispered a few words, and after Bai Hao heard it, he first frowned, and then smiled slightly: "Interesting, it's going to start to be lively here again." ”

All of the above was something that happened outside of Xuanyuan Baige's memory, and Xuanyuan Baige was looking back at the memories of his poisoning at the same time.

In the Sad Sky City, as always, but on the street not far from Qu Liangpeng's bun shop, there was a person in ragged clothes, with a gray face, flies flying on his body, and a beggar appearance, who was gnawing on the meat and bones that he didn't know where to pick up.

"Yo, isn't this a new little? It's like a dog, hahaha......"

A strong man walked up to the beggar and laughed unscrupulously in the street.

"Why don't you speak?"

The beggar was still gnawing on the flesh and bones, ignoring the man. Seeing that he ignored him, the strong man raised his eyebrows, raised his leg and kicked it out, and kicked out the meat and bones in the beggar's hand, and the beggar saw that the skull was kicked away, so he wanted to get up and pick it up.

"Cheap bones!"

Seeing this, the strong man stepped on the beggar's back again, and the beggar was immediately trampled on the ground.

The strong man grabbed the beggar by the hair and shouted at him, "Do you want to eat it so much?" ”

Then he turned his head and shouted at the Qu Liangpeng bun shop: "Qu Liangpeng, bring me a meat bun!" ”

Qu Liangpeng has been smiling at what happened here from beginning to end, and when he saw the strong man turn his head to ask him for buns, he stretched out his palm and said, "Five dollars!" ”

"!"

When the strong man heard this, he scolded him, threw out the five-coin copper coin with a flick of his hand, and landed neatly in Qu Liangpeng's palm.

Qu Liangpeng put the money away and threw a bun over. After receiving the bun, the strong man took a bite, spit a mouthful of saliva on it, and threw the bun out again.

The strong man commanded the beggar: "Crawl over to Lao Tzu and eat it!" ”

The beggar did not move, just lay quietly on the ground.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to crawl over!?"

The strong man stepped on the beggar's back again.

"Dead dog, pass!"

The strong man was a little annoyed, and kept trampling on the beggar hard, scolding constantly, but the beggar just didn't say a word and ignored it. In the end, the strong man said ruthlessly: "Do you believe it or not, Lao Tzu picked your tendons and tendons?? ”

When the beggar heard this, he finally reacted, and slowly moved his body and crawled forward.

"What a!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up for Lao Tzu! ”

When the beggar was about to crawl in front of the bun, there was suddenly a pair of straddling feet in front of him, and when he looked up, it was the strong man just now.

"Get through it! Aren't you going to eat buns? This human meat bun is delicious! ”

The beggar lay on the ground with his head bowed and did not move for a long time, and if anyone could see his beastly cannibalistic eyes at this time, he would definitely not laugh out loud.

The strong man shouted impatiently: "Go! ”

The beggar finally crawled over, picked up the human bun, closed his eyes, and finally ate it.

"Little bone, this is the human meat bun that Lao Tzu gave you, you have to be grateful!"

The strong man saw that the beggar had finished eating the buns, and after saying this, he strode away. The beggar got up and sat on the ground, bowed his head and did not move again, but no one saw the teardrop in the corner of his eye. The beggar bit his lip, and there were strands of murderous intent in his heart, but he kept his head down, trying to restrain himself.

There are a lot of people around who are watching here, they all look like they don't care about themselves, and they are laughing constantly, and vaguely, someone is saying that they will come to play or something someday.

"Yo hehe, the guest officer is so murderous, I don't know who this is trying to kill? What about Zhang Xinghe or me? ”

Qu Liangpeng, who was not far away, picked up a short knife and shook it, and suddenly smiled at the beggar and said a word. As soon as Qu Liangpeng said this, the beggar's body shook, and then shook his head vigorously, and kept taking deep breaths.

When the killing intent in the beggar's heart was calmed down, Qu Liangpeng said again: "This knife is quite sharp, and it has a hint of coldness, it seems to be a good weapon." ”

The beggar sat motionless on the ground, and after glancing at the beggar with a smile, he did not speak again. This beggar is none other than Xuanyuan Baige. After he was poisoned by Qu Liangpeng, he woke up and found that everything on his body was missing except for the jade sent by Bai Hao, so he went to look for Qu Liangpeng in a fit of anger, who knows, Qu Liangpeng smiled and put a bright kitchen knife on Xuanyuan Baige's neck within a few moves.

Unconvinced, Xuanyuan Baige went to find Qiu Cheng, but Qiu Cheng said that this matter was normal, and anything could be done in the City of Sadness.

Here it is: lawlessness!

The helpless Xuanyuan Baige planned to go back to his house first, who knows, as soon as he entered, he saw Qu Liangpeng in the house again, and said that this room was his, Xuanyuan Baige was furious and stepped forward to fight with him, but he was knocked out of the door without accident.

Xuanyuan Baige was homeless as soon as he entered the city, and finally had to wander the streets, helpless, cultivators, can go without food for several days, but Xuanyuan Baige's realm is not enough, and he can't go without eating or drinking for a long time, it didn't take long for him to stand it, and he wanted to find food, but no one in the Sad Sky City paid attention to it, and even the guards turned a blind eye, but Xuanyuan Baige knew that he had to live no matter what, which made him have to abandon his dignity and beg in the City of Sadness, and it was not so easy to beg, The city seemed to recognize him as a bully, and all kinds of bullying and humiliation kept coming, and sometimes he didn't eat or drink for days.

Xuanyuan Baige now has nothing, even the short knife that he cherished the most has been reduced to someone else's bag, but he can't take it back, his heart is full of unwillingness and helplessness. He found out how useless he was, as soon as he thought of this, Xuanyuan Baige, who was sitting on the street, couldn't help but clench his fists, his nails sank deep into the flesh, and he was deeply disappointed in himself, and for a while Xuanyuan Baige's belief in his heart was almost shaken.

When Xuanyuan Baige was about to lose himself, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he roared in his heart: I must live! Stay alive! Live! Under! Go! ”

Xuanyuan Baige stood up, expressionless, and walked forward.

Qu Liangpeng had been secretly observing Xuanyuan Baige from the side, and as a cultivator, he felt that Xuanyuan Baige's mood fluctuated greatly for a moment, but it quickly calmed down. Qu Liangpeng muttered to himself, "How do I feel that he seems to have changed a little differently?" ”

……

The sun sets, and the white maple reflects the sunset. As the last afterglow of the sunset dissipated, the vast world entered the night, a few stars were set on the dark night cloth, and soon, a blood-red demon moon rose in the east.

The night in the City of Sorrowful Sky was particularly deserted.

Xuanyuan Baige was sitting in a corner of the street, and at this moment he was carefully comprehending the Nine Secret Secrets that Jiang Tianzong had given him. Today, Qu Liangpeng felt that his murderous aura made him have a big pimple in his heart, he had not yet killed anyone, but his intentions were discovered, Xuanyuan Baige thought that this must not happen to him, he knew very well that it was completely unqualified to kill himself in the City of Sadness now, and forbearance was particularly important at this time.

The Nine Secret Techniques are roughly divided into three stages, casting, vitality, and volleying, all of which focus on the practice of the physical body, the use of power from the inside out, and finally the final completion, that is, "volleying like the wind". Before entering the Sorrowful Heaven City, Jiang Tianzong taught him the stage of casting and vitality, and now he has memorized the complete Nine Shadows Secret by heart.

The Nine Secret Recipes also contain the Nine Secret Secrets, which are the techniques of the Nine Profound Secret Techniques. The Nine Secret Secrets are not divided into grades, and after practice, they all have unpredictable and miraculous effects, Xuanyuan Baige has already practiced two of them in the stage of casting and vitality: Vitality Decision, Killing Words; Just now he performed another trick: the trick of collecting words.

The key to the word is God, hiding and controlling his breath from the outside in, to a certain extent, the key to this secret is patience and quietness. Bear with all things, and be quiet beforehand. It's easy to say, but sitting up is another matter. After Xuanyuan Baige walked away, there was a feeling of blockage in his chest, and he was dizzy, which made him uncomfortably panicked.

Xuanyuan Baige silently went through the word trick in his heart, and then recalled what happened today, Xuanyuan Baige still couldn't help clenching his fists, but soon let go, he let out a long breath and silently put this matter aside, but he didn't want to let this matter pass like this, what he needed now was patience and strength improvement.

……

The red moon is in the sky, and the night wind swims.

Xuanyuan Baige looked up at the demon moon and didn't speak, and after a while, his eyes wandered. He seemed to be reminded of his hometown, where his loved ones were the most.

Touching the scene, under the moonlight, Xuanyuan Baige was extremely lost, and for a while he was lost in inexplicable thoughts. He looked at this seemingly "harmonious" city of sorrow. At night, this city is so quiet, the houses are like that, the night wind blows through the streets and alleys, playing a leisurely nocturne, Xuanyuan Baige suddenly felt that this sad city may be the best destination.

In a trance, he saw a barefoot woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil, dancing in the moonlit sky, like a fairy under the moon, with a graceful body, like a fairy in her hands and feet, she danced, she flew.

Xuanyuan Baige couldn't help but be attracted by her beautiful dancing, she seemed to be the daughter of the heavens, the pearl of the earth, he could clearly see the woman's eyes smiling - smiling at him.

The woman slowly put away her dancing posture, stopped under the moonlight and looked at Xuanyuan Baige, and then, flying towards him, slowly, gently. She flew down in front of Xuanyuan Baige, and her jade feet touched the ground, light and elegant. Although she was wearing a white veil, Xuanyuan Baige felt a smiling face underneath the veil. The woman stood in front of Xuanyuan Baige, her eyes seemed to be smiling, and she looked at him.

Xuanyuan Baige watched the woman in white fly away and disappear into the night, his heart was full of reluctance and sweetness. Although he is now tired and tired, as if the energy of his whole body has dissipated, the wonderful experience of the Spring Festival just now fascinates and nostalgia for him.

No, that's not true. This must be a dream, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the City of Sadness, this is a dream...... Xuanyuan Baige thought so much in his heart, as if he didn't want to wake up, he slowly closed his eyes.
