In Baishi County, in the evening of early winter, the stars and moon are dark, and the evening breeze is cool and swishing.

Qianbei Courtyard was brightly lit everywhere, and the soldiers went in and out of various rooms in teams, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and they didn't know what they were looking for. They are also busy with the more than 20 Taoist priests who came during the day, and each courtyard has three or four Taoist priests opening the altar at the same time.

In the second courtyard, the two Taoist priests' altars were placed too close, and when A squinted his eyes and danced with the wooden sword, he accidentally poked the head of B next door. A was squinting and reciting a mantra, caught off guard, and was kicked and chewed on, which hurt and annoyed, and lost face, and was angry, and hurriedly rolled a donkey and got up from the ground, and fought with B.

The soldiers did not stop them, but clapped their hands in a circle, and they looked lively. Although Taoist priest C seems to be persuading, he implies sarcasm in his sentences, counting the two peers as useless, A and B "have a heart", and at the same time they make a move on C. The three of them scuffled together, dragging their hair, scratching and biting, it was very exciting, and the shrew confrontation was nothing more than that! More and more soldiers were attracted to it, and the cheers and cheers came one after another.

In the east courtyard, in Qian Lingwu's private garden, Jiang Shoujing stood with his hands in his hands, and Qian Shoucai commanded several soldiers to lift the bluestone slabs on the ground, dig a big hole, and dig out a large pottery jar.

Qian Shoucai said proudly: "A few days ago, I saw him sneaking here, and sure enough, he hid an object, and he thought that something was here!" ”

Jiang Shoujing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and open it for Lao Tzu!" His voice trembled a little, and he seemed very excited.

Qian Shoucai hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and smashed the soil sealed at the mouth of the altar, tore open the tie, uncovered the lid, and reached out to probe in, "Ah ......" was very cold, it was a thick liquid, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, the smell was stinking, and a group of soldiers hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.

"Stinky tofu!" Qian Shoucai couldn't believe his eyes.

"Idiot!" Jiang Shoujing scolded.

At this moment, the western courtyard became noisy, and laughter and cheers bypassed the courtyard wall and smashed hard, as if to mock their incompetence.

"What's the matter over there?" Jiang Shoujing was furious.

A soldier ran over from the corner gate and replied loudly: "A few Taoist priests are fighting!" ”

Jiang Shoujing gritted her teeth and popped out a few words from between her teeth: "Okay, good!" Fuck it, give Lao Tzu a hard beating! The soldier replied and ran away, and after a while, the laughter and applause were gone, and only a few Taoist priests were left screaming. Jiang Shoujing turned his head angrily, and his cold gaze fell on Qian Shoucai's body, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.

"His grandmother, you birdman hurry up and think about Lao Tzu! Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu picked your bird's skin! Jiang Shoujing shouted loudly, and Qian Shoucai fell to the ground in fright.

Jiang Shoujing ignored him anymore, turned to the corner gate and said, "Fan Donkey, you roll over to Lao Tzu!" Before he could finish speaking, a short soldier who was hunched over and slightly weak ran quickly, not daring to say a word.

"Is there any news of any birds over there?" Jiang Shoujing lowered his voice and said.

"Nope!"

"It's all rubbish!"

……

Hong House.

Qian Lingwu took a hot bath under Hong Zhiyu's arrangement, and there were five or six wooden fish opened by high monks in the bath bucket, in order to wash away the bad luck and unclean things on his body.

Hong Zhiyu commanded his subordinates in the main hall to set up a large table of good wine and food. After a while, a little girl ran over quickly and said softly: "Master, he has searched all the clothes inside and out, but he has not found a single piece of paper!" ”

Hong Zhiyu frowned and said, "Go again, keep an eye on it, and never leave!" ”

"Yes!" The little girl answered and left in a hurry.

In order to completely wash away the bad luck on his body, Qian Lingwu washed for more than half an hour, and the hot water was replaced by eight large buckets, so that the waiting girl rubbed out the blood all over her body, like a roast pig, so she was reluctant to come out to the banquet.

At the banquet, Qian Hong and the two sighed for a while, pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and chatted for a while.

……

Two dog courtyards.

The night is getting thicker and darker, and the moonlight is not very good. And the whole courtyard of Ergou only has a little light the size of a soybean in the house, which is not much different from not.

Yan Chen sat on the square bench, looking at this light in a daze. The second dog was banging and beating in the yard, still busy with his stone carving, and he didn't know how he worked in such a dark, and he was not afraid of smashing the stone carving.

Actually, he didn't want to do it anymore, the little food left in the family was eaten up by Zhao Xinyi and Yan Chen at noon, and he drank some clear soup porridge a day, and he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, so how could he have any strength to work. I really want to go into the house to sleep, it's not that I'm sleepy, it's just that I can forget about hunger for a while when I fall asleep.

However, in the evening, Zhao Xinyi went out alone, saying that he was doing something and going back, leaving Yan Chen here. Ergou is both respectful and awe-inspiring to this girl, she is in the house, how dare he go in. Originally, it was okay to take the quilt out, or wear more clothes, and make do in the yard, but in order to do the funeral for his father, everything that could be done at home has already been done, and the quilt at home is just like that, and the clothes are just such a single piece of clothing. The quilt, he had already left it to Yan Chen in his heart, only such a single coat, how could he resist the cold of this winter night, there was no other way but to keep knocking and beating, and he could warm it up when he moved.

……

In the middle of nowhere.

Zhao Xinyi walked back quickly with a large bundle of firewood and a few burdens, planning to have a good drink with Yan Chen and Ergou, and then discuss how to sneak into the Hongfu to make a big profit, phew, it is to kill demons, kill demons, and if you miss it later, it will not be a problem! was polishing his words in his abdomen, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition, all these years of following the master to ask for life, his intuition has always been very accurate, he didn't dare to be careless, while continuing to move forward, while quietly observing the surrounding situation, silently carrying the burden in his hands, ready to escape at any time.

The next moment, the sound of breaking wind came from the front and back at the same time, Zhao Xinyi used a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, unloaded the burden and dry firewood, pinched the teleportation charm in his hand, jumped up, and flew on the wall, narrowly avoiding the two cold lights, and had not yet relaxed, but saw that the two cold lights turned a corner, rushed up directly, and flew again.

He had always had sharp eyes, and he recognized that the cold light was two flying knives, and the runes engraved with the green wind attribute on the blades were actually two magic weapons. The heart is not good, and he ran into a hard stubble, so he hurriedly threw out two fire talismans to block it, and asked Lao Huang for help in his heart, who was very impatient at first, but after a breath, he immediately became honest, and hurriedly reminded: "Boy, there are two monks, deal with it carefully, Lao Tzu will pass!" ”

"Boom ......"

Two first-order low-grade "Bear Fire Talismans" burst open at the same time, enveloping the two flying knives in the fire.

"Sure enough, it's a talisman!" A middle-aged male voice sounded from Zhao Xinyi's right side.

"It's just that the rank is too low!" Another middle-aged male voice sounded from Zhao Xinyi's left.

Before the words fell, there was a "bang", and the fire exploded, like fireworks in the dark night sky, which was very beautiful. Two flying knives flew out, one left and one right aimed at Zhao Xinyi again, but did not attack again.

Zhao Xin broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "It's so strong!" Such a sharp sword light, these two flying knives are at least first-order high-grade magic weapons! Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the two of them at the same time, and saw that the two were of medium stature, dressed in green clothes, embroidered with a black wolf roaring in the sky on their chests, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and white skin.

The one on the right spoke first: "It's really rare to have such a skill at a young age!" Boy, be obedient, this Dharma Protector can let you join my Black Wolf Gang, be a hall master, and ensure your wealth for a lifetime! ”

The Black Wolf Gang is a gang in Beiyan, which will do a lot of bloody cases every year, the methods are ruthless, everyone talks about the color change, and it is very mysterious, it comes and goes without a trace, the government has encircled and suppressed it many times, but the news has been leaked, and no one has been killed. Zhao Xinyi This is the first time he has seen the people of the Black Wolf Gang, and he never thought that it was the other party who found him, or the two monks, so he hurriedly pretended to be very obedient, and said, "I don't know what the two of you call it?" What do I need to do? ”

"All you need to know is that we're the ones who want your life!" The middle-aged man on the left said impatiently, "Honestly, who are you?" Is the Fish Scale Atlas in your hands? ”

Zhao Xin was silent, his thoughts were racing, and he tried to quickly analyze them from their words, and said in his heart: "These two guys must be related to the Qian family!" After a slight pause, he made up nonsense: "The two of you meet openly and honestly, and I don't dare to hide it." To tell you the truth, I am a person of white impermanence, and although the fish scale atlas has eyebrows, it has not yet been found! I don't know if the Qian family's lively stone beast murder was done by the two of them? "He is using chaos to control chaos, beating the master indiscriminately, and by the way, investigating the real culprit behind the bloody case. Since everyone doesn't care about the lives and deaths of those innocent people, then he will take care of it, and no matter who does it, he will seek justice for them. Of course, it is not enough for him to rely on his slight cultivation, mainly relying on Lao Huang.

"White impermanence?" Sure enough, the two of them looked at each other, both a little dumbfounded, "Which one is impermanent?" As for the question behind Zhao Xinyi, both of them felt that it didn't matter, so they skipped it directly.

At the same time, Zhao Xinyixinhu sounded Lao Huang's voice, "Boy, Lao Tzu is here, now this city is not peaceful, there are a few powerful people here, unless it is absolutely necessary, Lao Tzu will not make a move, you kid take it easy!" By the way, let me remind you again, the guy on the right has just reached the foundation building period, and the guy on the left has nine layers in the Qi refining period, and his cultivation is not high! ”

"This is called cultivation is not high!" Zhao Xinyi rolled his eyes, but with Lao Huang's assurance, he suddenly calmed down, and said to the two of them with a look of hating iron but not steel: "Alas, it's the famous Bai Impermanence!" Who doesn't give a little face in black and white! ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, the two couldn't help but be even more confused, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhao Xinyi continued to probe and said, "You are also involved in the matter of the money house? ”

The person on the right said: "Nine times out of ten, the surname Hong did it, and it has nothing to do with our Black Wolf Gang!" Don't talk nonsense, you kid, where the hell is the thing? ”

Zhao Xinyi paused slightly, and then said: "We got a clue, the thing is still in the Qian Mansion, but now the surname Jiang is there, I'm afraid he will be the first to get there!" ”

The person on the right still wanted to answer, but the person on the left suddenly said: "Big brother, this kid is a raw melon, don't be deceived by this kid!" ”

The person on the right sneered: "You stupid boy doesn't know that Jiang and Hong are grasshoppers on a rope, and they almost fell for your kid's tricks, do it!" ”

The two flying knives slashed Zhao Xinyi again, one left and one right, and the latter urgently called Lao Huang to make a move, however, the old dog ignored it at this time. Zhao Xinyi hurriedly used all the prepared spirit runes, and threw out two flame runes, one left and one right, at the same time. The two of them looked indifferent, and each shot a spirit rune to resist. With a "bang", the two Bear Fire Talismans were smashed to pieces, and they turned out to be two first-order mid-grade "Wind Blade Talismans".

At the same time, two flying knives pierced Zhao Xinyi's body at the same time. The two of them showed a sneering expression, and the middle-aged man on the left snorted disdainfully.

Suddenly, Zhao Xinyi's body began to blur, and a talisman burned rapidly in mid-air.

"Oh no, this ...... It's a stand-in! The person on the right exclaimed, they didn't look down on Zhao Xinyi, they were more surprised by the stand-in talisman, although this stand-in talisman seems to be not very high-grade, but it is very cumbersome to make, and it is particularly difficult to become a talisman, and there are very few on the market. He has been immersed in Fu Dao for many years, and he has seen relevant descriptions in ancient books, but he didn't expect to see it on an ordinary young man today, and he was really surprised. Immediately afterwards, he saw a figure suddenly flash behind his younger brother, the words "little ......" and "heart" had not yet been spoken, and a short knife of the black shadow had stabbed into the back of the heart of the person on the left, blood gushed from his mouth, and he looked frightened, and he was about to turn around and give Zhao Xinyi a blow, Zhao Xinyi had already drawn his knife and retreated to three feet away.

The man stumbled and fell off the wall, blood gushing out, and he couldn't live.

The person on the right was angry and shocked, he never thought that this young man had a kind face, his mind was so deep, and his methods were so ruthless. First, he used two ordinary fire charms to distract the two of them, took the opportunity to use a stand-in charm, and then used a teleportation charm to sneak behind him and deliver a fatal blow.

"Brother...... For...... I...... Report ......"

"You're looking for death!" The person on the right immediately turned red, his right hand pinched the trick, and the flying knives and spirit runes all killed Zhao Xinyi, who gasped and wanted to gag. After all, this was the first time he had killed someone, his heart was beating like a drum, his whole body was trembling, and he was uncontrollable.

Seeing that all kinds of killing moves were about to fall on him, but he still didn't move, Lao Huang couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Waste boy, you want to kill Lao Tzu!" Then, Zhao Xinyi's body was light, and he moved to the other side of the wall, "Bastard boy, wake up Lao Tzu, this is a battle of life and death, either you die or he dies, there is no time for you to be stupid!" ”

Zhao Xin swallowed his saliva and said reluctantly: "Got it." Forcibly calmed down, but his hands still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Seeing that he was going to miss the blow, the middle-aged man's eyes were half narrowed, and he was shocked, and said in his heart: "This kid is too weird, he needs to fight quickly!" Not daring to have any reservations, he pinched the trick with both hands, and a green talisman more than three feet high leaped up from his body, and the blue waves flowed, causing the wind to howl in all directions.

Zhao Xinyi: "This is his natal talisman!" ”

He had long heard the old Taoist priest say that the monks in the foundation building period could condense their natal talismans, run them as they wished, and the power was endless, and he had never seen the "living", but he didn't expect to see them here today.

"Natal Talisman - Wind Blade!" The middle-aged man shouted. In the next moment, the wind was howling, the trees collapsed, and the dust was flying, surrounding Zhao Xinyi in the center. Zhao Xin couldn't care about the pain again and again, and the three first-order mid-grade teleportation charms were pinched in his hand, and he was about to teleport, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a square stone that was swept up by the wind, and suddenly split apart, turning into dozens of pieces, and then was decomposed again, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.

"It is worthy of the natal talisman, the invisible wind is better than the blade! What to do? Zhao Xinyi asked both himself and Lao Huang, this natal talisman was too powerful and beyond his scope of response.

"Wait a while, Lao Tzu will turn you behind him, and you will give him a fatal blow!" Lao Huang didn't pull his crotch this time, "Be careful!" ”

Zhao Xinyi didn't understand what this "careful" meant, and suddenly saw the flying knife stabbing straight in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel dying. Thanks to Lao Huang's timely strength, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and he appeared behind the middle-aged man, and after a little refreshment, he stabbed with a knife, and the death of the previous person suddenly appeared in front of him, his hand couldn't help but be soft, and the short knife stabbed the middle-aged man's body, but it only hurt the flesh and skin, and it was not fatal. The central man was shocked, turned his wrist to the back is a palm, and used all his strength.

Zhao Xin raised his palm in a panic to resist, and the pain of drilling his heart rushed in, and his whole arm was painful, and he said in his heart: "This is miserable, this arm can't be saved!" ”

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly wailed. I saw that the black flames in his eyes were beating, and it quickly spread all over his body, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of his whole body disappeared cleanly, leaving only a pair of white bones in green clothes......
