Chapter 3: The Horse Thief
The light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is none. It is the most spring benefit of the year.
The young Ye Ling squatted at the corner of the street, quietly listening to the inn storyteller telling the story, this was the happiest moment of his day, and when he heard the blood, he was even more red-faced, as if he was the character in the book, and the sword walked between heaven and earth.
I saw that Mr. Storyteller slapped the wood in his hand fiercely.
"In other words, this sword master Ye Lingtian was literate at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of five, and reached the power of ten bulls at the age of eight, and entered the ranks of the strongest human spirits."
The Nine Heavens of the Gate of Heaven are all ants under the Gate of Heaven.
The power of ten oxen is equal to one heavy water, and nine heavy water is equal to one heavy mountain.
One mountain to five mountains is equal to the strong human spirit.
The six-fold mountain to the eight-fold mountain is equal to the earth spirit powerhouse.
The Nine Mountains are equal to the Heavenly Spirit Venerable.
"At the age of twenty-eight years, the sword master Ye Lingtian has broken through the shackles of human spirits in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest Earth Spirit Venerable in history."
"In which era, there have been countless heroes, but all of them have been crushed by the sword master, one person and one sword, dictatorial for eternity, and has become the youngest Tianzun in history for thousands of years, invincible in the world before he is 100 years old."
Ye Ling's thin figure was curled up, listening quietly, his eyes full of endless yearning.
What kind of world is that world of warriors?
"Old man Dong, we have heard the deeds of the sword master eight hundred times, you can tell me something else."
A shrill voice interrupted the storyteller.
"I see at a glance that you are not a good person, a child-ruffian, if it weren't for the sword master leading the crowd to break through the gate of heaven, how could there be a peaceful and prosperous world, you don't know how to be grateful, and thank the sword lord for his grace every day."
Old man Dong said, knocked the wood in his hand hard, and brushed his sleeves away.
Ye Ling secretly said that it was a pity, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, a wave of dizziness just came, and his body fell to the side crookedly.
Unfortunately, he happened to knock down a stout man.
"Where's the little cub, get out of the way"
Whoever wore a hood on his head, which could cover his face.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
Ye Ling endured the pain all over his body and hurriedly got up to apologize.
He looked up slightly, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head again.
Fortunately, the person seemed to be in a good mood, and ignored Ye Ling, and quickly disappeared into the street with big strides.
It wasn't until the man disappeared that Ye Ling collapsed to the ground.
After a two-second rest, he hurried to the west side of the street.
"Official, official, the eldest master is not here, I have an urgent report"
In front of the yamen, Ye Ling was stopped outside the hall, and his face was full of anxiety.
The guard at the gate was disturbed by a young man in ragged clothes, thinking that he was a little beggar on the street.
didn't ask the reason, rewarded the young man with two water and fire sticks and threw them out.
The young man's body was already weak, and he almost didn't faint from this blow.
"What can I do, who is a horse thief?"
This young man is none other than Ye Ling.
The horse thief in his mouth was naturally the big man he bumped into in front of the storytelling inn before.
Ye Ling was an orphan, begging for a living, heaven and earth for his home, the reason why he recognized this person was because of a wandering town, the town was tragically ransacked by horse thieves, Ye Ling was hiding in the utility yard, the utility field was ordinary, throwing some leftovers from the inn, the stench was incomparable, through the smell, the horse thief was unwilling to loot, he escaped.
Now that he saw this Ma Kou here again, Ye Ling didn't have to think about it to know what they were planning.
Helplessly, others spoke softly, and they couldn't even enter the gate at this time.
Looking at the plaque hanging overhead, the book - Qingzhou Mansion.
Ye Ling gritted his teeth and went straight to the west side of the yamen, where there was a drum, called Shengtang Drum.
Picking up the mallet, without waiting for the guards to stop it, Ye Ling beat the drum.
"Knock knock!"
The drums beat to the sky.
"You bastard, you don't know what to do, brothers, it seems that this little cub hasn't suffered enough"
The official in front of the door rolled up his sleeves and was about to buckle Ye Ling.
At this time, in the palace, a loud voice came.
"Who's drumming!"
Looking for prestige, a person wearing a crown hat and holding a folding fan came in every way.
The official in front of the door hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "I've seen Master Rao"
Ye Ling also hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "My lord, I want to report something, a big matter."
Master Rao narrowed his eyes, glanced at Ye Ling lightly, and then said, "You come in with me."
"Master, this little beggar, let the little one blow out, don't bother the master"
When Ye Ling heard this, he thought to himself what to do, he was afraid that he would be beaten again.
"Are you teaching me to do things? Well! ”
"The villain doesn't dare!"
Ye Ling followed him to the back hall, which made him strange that this master was not so harsh on him, but rather polite.
Serve tea and give a seat.
Seeing Ye Ling's anxious look, he picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly.
"What's the matter, tell me in detail?"
Ye Ling immediately explained what he had seen in great detail.
A trace of surprise flashed in Master Rao's eyes, but he quickly reined in, and Ye Ling didn't notice it in the slightest.
"Ye Ling, you are from Qingzhou."
"Back to the adult, the villain is not from this Qingzhou"
"Oh!" Master Rao sighed meaningfully, and then his face turned cold: "That Ma Kou is in Langshan, Langshan is far from Qingzhou, and it takes seven days to ride a horse, where do you recognize this Ma Kou, is it that you and he are accomplices!" ”
Ye Ling listened, he didn't dare to carry this charge, and hurriedly bowed his head and knelt down: "My lord, the villain is an orphan, going home from all over the world, not long ago in Ningzhou, Ningzhou was ransacked by Ma Kou all the year round, the villain heard that Cai Ji, Lord Cai of Qingzhou, is a rare good official, Qingzhou is governed in an orderly manner, the people can not close their doors at night, Lord Cai has learned a good martial arts, all the horses within a radius of 100 miles are frightened, and they dare not invade the boundaries of Qingzhou, the villain has just arrived in this Qingzhou, as for the Ma Kou, in Ningzhou, the villain took a chance to take a look"
"Hey! Hurry up, this master believes in you" Saying that, Master Rao didn't care about the dirt on Ye Ling's body, and helped Ye Ling up.
"I look at you, you're not a beggar, didn't you get an errand in Qingzhou?"
"Back to the adult, when the small one was exiled in Qingzhou, he was infected with a vicious disease, if it was not outside the east city, Shen Yuan rescued each other, I am afraid that his life would be difficult for a long time, in order to repay the kindness, the villain made a servant in Shen Yuanwai's house."
"But Shen Anhe of which show"
"It's Shen Anhe, Shen Yuanwai"
"Then it's no wonder, he is a good man in these ten miles and eight villages, landlord, you are lucky to meet him"
Somehow, Ye Ling always felt that this master was a little strange, as if he had been inquiring about his origins, and he had been in the market all year round, and Ye Ling still had some eyes in his eyes.
"Okay, you go back, I'll show you this matter."
Ye Ling bowed again and saluted before retreating.
When Ye Ling left, behind the curtain in the back hall, a middle-aged man with a majestic shape came, his steps were steady, and he walked around with official robes and hunting.
"Master, what's the reason for the promotion of drums?"
Master Rao bowed and saluted: "Go back to your lord!" This man is... ”
Master Rao told Ye Ling about it.
I saw that on the middle-aged man's face that was not angry and arrogant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Interesting!" ”
