In the streets and alleys of the southern city, even if it is dark, there is no stop to the noisy shouting everywhere.

Zhao Lin sat at the counter, humming a little song, comfortably calculating how much money he made today, so he didn't care too much about someone coming in.

"Want something?" He sat on the sleigh-like scooter and turned around, saw Cheng Fuxian directly threw the waist card on his table, looked down and saw the handwriting on it, his heart immediately sudden, and said with a smile: "This is ...... What do adults need? ”

"You've sold military steel here, have you sold the sword of the ordnance?" Cheng went first and stared at the other party with a single knife, "Who bought it, tell me?" ”

“…… This...... I'm not quite sure what the adults are talking about? Zhao Lin broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but he still smiled and said: "What I do is a small and serious business, what swords, military steel, I haven't heard of ......"

"Haven't heard of it, have you?" Cheng Fu stepped over the table first, grabbed the placket of the other party's clothes, slammed it directly on the ground, and stepped on one of Zhao Lin's legs with his foot, regardless of the other party's yelling, he said coldly:

"I've already found out, you're the only one in the neighborhood who will do this. You'd better decide to confess to me sooner rather than later, tell me who bought something related to military steel from here; Or you can break a leg right now, and you can really sit in your wheelchair for the rest of your life, and you don't have to stand up for the rest of your life! ”

Cheng went to say first, the soles of his feet exerted force, and the sound of Zhao Lin's leg bones cracking was clearly audible.

"Oops...... Official, don't, I say, I say! Zhao Lin wailed and begged for mercy.

Cheng went to the first place to retract his strength and pull him up.

Footsteps came from outside the door again, and Liang Li, one of Cheng Tingdong's henchmen, walked in. For his uncle, Cheng went to frown slightly, but still said as usual: "What's the matter?" ”

"The Director-General has discovered the movement of the resting place on East Street, and has personally led people to check it out. He also commanded that all those who received the news, regardless of the situation, should rush forth. Liang Heng was neither humble nor arrogant, and said to Cheng Xiangxian: "Childe, please." ”

"On East Street again, my father personally brought people over?" Cheng went to the first to expect such news.

Immediately after, everyone present heard a deafening explosion from East Street, which was still clear to the ears even if it spanned several blocks.

……

The aftermath was everywhere, blowing away all the suspended smoke and dust, and even the little sparks that still existed were extinguished in the surroundings.

The air that was depleted by the flames was replenished again by the gathered gases around it, and for a time in the ruins, the sound of the wind blew through the ruins, blowing a mourning cry like a whimper, which echoed the bell tied by the troupe not far away, like a sad song of the conjuring spirit.

The tragic situation of the entire street and alley seems to have been trampled by a huge tide of beasts, leaving only traces of rage. Occasionally, the moans of survivors in the ruins sounded inaudible.

Lifeless.

"Whoa!" A piece of broken masonry was pushed away, revealing the people below. Zhou Fuyun was already really dizzy, and Qiu Shaohu only felt that his meridians were vibrating, but it was okay for the time being.

It was almost a miracle that he was able to stay intact. The lock helmet on his head can only protect against ordinary attacks, and although the big gun on his body is invulnerable, such a violent explosion cannot completely protect him.

This also made him a little incredible, so he looked down at his hands.

The books I picked up before, because I had just given priority to protect Zhou Fuyun, couldn't be distracted, and they were all turned into ashes at this time.

Only one book, still intact.

The white pages of this book are much more expensive than ordinary yellowed paper, and there is a faint white light on it, which envelops Qiu Shaohu's body, so that Qiu Shaohu can withstand most of the impact of the explosion.

On the cover page, the three-character title is not printed in the study, but more like a handwritten by a person. The concise strokes outline the three words "Taishangji".

Qiu Shaohu didn't even remember how this book appeared, and whether there was this one in the books just now, but vaguely, he could feel the incredibleness of this book.

"Taishangji" was written by Master Wanyin, and it is not uncommon on the island of forgetfulness, and it is one of the must-read for disciples on the island, why does this book seem so unique?

Qiu Shaohu wanted to open it and take a look.

But the pages of the book remain motionless.

The whole book, as if it had been welded to death with iron bars, could not be opened at all.

Only at this moment, he suddenly felt something, a gaze, Yaoyao locked on himself, making him nervous involuntarily.

He had a feeling that no matter how much he dodged, the owner of this gaze would spot him and lock on until the other party caught him completely.

This is a gaze that can be avoided in the wilderness, and even fierce beasts can be afraid when they look at each other. The beast is the carrier of killing, and the master of the gaze is the embodiment of killing.

Qiu Shaohu still raised his head and met the other party's gaze.

Then I saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, in the ruins, looking at him from a distance.

Qiu Shaohu didn't recognize Cheng Tingdong.

Cheng Tingdong did not deliberately exude his own aura.

But Qiu Shaohu could feel those chilling details in an outstanding martial artist.

The whole body is emaciated, but he does not show weakness, his straight back and shoulders, and the whole person is as sharp as a gun, making people think that he is going straight to the sky.

The muscles on the arms, the prominent lines even have sharp edges and corners, and there is not a trace of fat accumulation on the earlobes, which is evidence that a person who exercises his body to the extreme can subtly manipulate every inch of his own muscles and bones.

A pair of hands that have been tempered for thousands of years, but they do not look rough, the periphery of the fist is not calluses, but the protrusion of the joints, and has completely developed every detail of itself into a weapon, knowing how to use its strengths and avoid weaknesses, and how to protect the vulnerable parts.

There is also the killing blood qi in Cheng Tingdong's eyes that can be felt without being deliberately released, Qiu Shaohu doesn't know how many cruel battles he has experienced, how many corpse mountains and sea of blood he has crawled, before he can condense such a terrifying momentum. If he releases all his flesh and energy, he will immediately turn the field into the breath of Shura's hell.

This is a person whose cultivation is not lower than that of dust, and in terms of combat effectiveness alone, he is definitely far better.

Now against such an opponent, Qiu Shaohu knows that he has no chance of winning.

But he didn't back down.

His eyes looked directly into the other's eyes, and no matter how much that terrifying momentum had on his spirit, he didn't dodge it in the slightest.

The instinct honed in the wilderness, for any opponent, can be defeated, but not afraid!

If you are afraid, the other party will know that you are afraid, and there will be no way out for you at that time.

Being strong doesn't mean you won't be afraid, but as long as you're not afraid, you're a strong man that no one can defeat!

The two looked at each other from afar, like an old hunter, facing a rebellious lone wolf.

I didn't move for a long time.

In the end, it was Cheng Tingdong who broke the silence first. He seemed to be bored after staying too long, so he lowered his head and took a cigarette pouch from his waist, filled himself with a pipe tobacco, and lit it and smoked it.

At the moment when he bowed his head, like a silent tacit understanding between a hunter and a wolf, Qiu Shaohu turned around and left. When he looked up again, he couldn't see the figure on the other side.

"What kind of ups and downs have you gone through to hone such a rebellious temperament." Cheng Tingdong took a puff on the cigarette holder, the breath was very strong, and the head of the cigarette pouch was burning very strongly, "This young man should know something inside, let him leave, so that he can find out more things." ”

Despite this utilitarian idea, it has to be said that he admires such a young man very much.

"Lord General!" Liang Mian came to report: "The trapped businessmen have all been rescued except for Sun Congtian, and the other rescues in the entire street are still continuing, and we have notified the prefect to help." Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the caracal stone that exploded at the end doesn't look like it was ignited by mistake. We have checked the registration and storage of goods in the Roche Chamber of Commerce, and there is no record of caracal. And we have surveyed some of the sites, and found that some of the sulfur was newly mixed with caracal powder, as if someone had secretly added it. ”

After saying this, Liang Mian saw that there was no smoke floating out of Cheng Tingdong's cigarette pouch, because all the smoke was inhaled by him.

This breath is extraordinarily long, indicating that his own contemplation is extraordinarily complex.

"My lord, there is an important military situation!" Liang Li rushed to report at this time, "On the sea outside Chaomen, suddenly there are Lang State ships loitering, threatening the port!" ”

"Whew-" At this moment, the smoke that was originally inhaled into his lungs was spit out by Cheng Tingdong, and the white smoke was thick.

……

"Strange," Bai Yu thought to himself, "It's strange. ”

From the moment Meng Chen couldn't contact him, he thought that the other party had something to leave again. But in fact, Bai Yu has actually been wandering around this area, observing the development of the situation.

can restrain his aura, even Cheng Tingdong, who was a Wupin military general in Beijing, failed to discover him, proving that his cultivation is even stronger.

In fact, looking at the world, Bai Yu is already one of the top people in cultivation.

"I wonder how things got to this point, but why, did the book get into his hands?"

From Bai Yu's point of view, it can be clearly seen that from the original books, there is no trace of this "Taishangji" at all, it appeared out of thin air halfway.

The book was lost, and no one knows where it went.

Bai Yu could vaguely perceive that there was a person who, for some reason, got this book from, and then deliberately appeared here and left it to Qiu Shaohu.

"Taishangji" appeared, so the breath of Wan Yin appeared in the previous book, because the previous book was also written by Wan Yin, which is the same as "Taishangji". The aura of the same origin is attracting each other, which can also be said to be an omen.

But who is that person?

This is something that even Bai Yu didn't notice.

"Hide your head and show your tail, so you should be killed!" Bai Yu's face was angry.

"Knock knock knock......" A voice caught his attention.

Bai Yu looked at it, a rattle fell to the ground.

He has been practicing for many years, but when he saw this kind of children's toy for the first time, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

……

"Lost!" chased all the way to the periphery of the city, but the dust still lost the other party, and he was a little annoyed for a while.

Even if you want to chase the other party with the preceding book, but you don't have a general direction, you can't guide it.

I couldn't find the other party, and the warehouse was on fire again, presumably even the spirit condensation left behind was completely burned, which was equivalent to tracking the clue to the death of the spiritual truth, and it was broken again here.

"Senior brother? Brother! ”

Meng Chen heard a familiar shout, and then saw Fu Xun rushing here with the rest of his junior disciples.

"Calm, what do you look like in such a panic, why are you here?" Dusty and incomprehensible.

"Senior brother asked me to wait to find out the whereabouts of Soul Condensation, and we are duty-bound." Fu Xun came over, took a breath and continued: "I was exploring around the city, and I really found out something. There are some households in the neighborhood who have recently bought some Qiangxin Ning to use as a medicine to clear their hearts. ”

"And then?" Dusty is a little excited.

"Senior brother," Fu Xun reminded, "calmly." ”

Dusty glanced at him.

Fu Xun stopped talking.

"Then," said another junior, "we found out that the Spiritual Truth had been here too!" ”

"Because for some reason, those people have been haunted by nightmares, and the Spirit has gone to solve their problems. According to them, in the process, Lingdi also came into contact with other people. ”

They are exactly what they say.
