"Sister Lu."

"Huh?"

"Can you tell me what's going on with the Celestial Star Sect?"

"Pack up and talk slowly......"

In a clearing in the dense deep forest, Lin Xi and his party simply cleaned up the ground and set up a few fires.

The climate in the south was cloudy and tidal, and Lin Xi wiped it for a long time before he could barely light the fire.

After working for most of the day, a fire appeared on a pile of dry dead wood.

"Sister Lu, can you tell me about it now?"

"Actually, even I don't know much about it. When we were young, my father told us that the Nine Tribulation Palace was created by the traitors of our faction, so the two families were feuding.

It is said that it was because they practiced evil skills in private and had improper mental skills, so they were driven out of the Heavenly Star Sect by the head of the ancestors.

In the past 100 years, there has been constant friction between the two factions, but there has never been a big mess until ...... It wasn't until more than ten years ago that the Nine Tribulations Palace suddenly attacked the Celestial Star Sect...... My father led the men to resist to the death, but he still couldn't stop them. I escaped from the back mountain road with my younger brother and got lucky. ”

Although Lin Xi was sympathetic, he felt more strange: "The Nine Tribulation Palace has not fought with the Heavenly Star Sect for ten years, how could he suddenly think of destroying you?" ”

"I don't know, and since the elimination of the Celestial Star Sect, the Nine Tribulation Palace has almost never appeared on the rivers and lakes again, I have tried to inquire in many ways, but the Nine Tribulation Palace has disappeared since then, and there is no news of them."

"Strange—what about your father? Did you die in the battle of the Gate? ”

Lu Hongzhao lowered his head, extremely disappointed: "After the first battle, I never saw my father again. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Xi nodded thoughtfully, "And today, you actually saw the Heavenly Star Sect's lost seven-star sword technique, which is really interesting--what do you think?" ”

"Now that I think about it, that person is probably someone from the Nine Tribulation Palace!"

"I think we'll be able to confirm that soon."

The cold wind of the night was blowing, everyone was hiding in the carriage, and even if the longevity in his arms was asleep, he was still shivering-

To be honest, Lin Xi didn't want to sleep in the wild at all, but where they lived, people could suffer - although all this had nothing to do with them, Lin Xi always felt a little guilty in his heart.

I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.

"If it hadn't rained that day and we hadn't stayed in that store, maybe... Then the boss won't die. ”

"The boss is simple and kind, but he has suffered a disaster......

"Haven't slept yet?" The soft voice of longevity is like a round of moonlight in the long dark night, gentle and bright.

"Extend your life, I ......"

"Don't think about it, their death is not your fault, it is the sin of those corrupt officials and wicked people."

"Longevity, why are you ......?"

"How do I know what's going on in your mind, do I?" Yanshou smiled mischievously: "You just said what was in your heart." ”

Lin Xi smiled emphatically: "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

"Sleep, calm down. If you're tired, our big gang won't have a backbone. ”

Lin Xi stroked the little hand of Yanshou, for some reason, Lin Xi felt really good, as long as Yanshou was by his side, no matter how manic and depressed his heart could be quiet.

"Longevity, thank you."

"Thank you, we're a family......"

Lin Xi leaned on Yanshou's shoulder and fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, Lin Xi seemed to hear the voice of Yanshou.

"Lin Xi ......"

She called Lin Xi's name softly, her voice was light and ethereal, like a dream.

"Life Extension ......"

Jiangzhou, in the city of Rong'an.

The morning bell rang and the door slowly opened.

A few people rushed out of the city for the first time, and the direction of such a depression can only be said to be very different from other state cities.

The girl with the sword on her back stepped on the morning mist and looked at the desolate Rong'an City suspiciously.

Almost all industries in the city are in ruins, and only a few pedestrians can be seen on the streets, most of whom are walking against the wall.

Tang Yu repeatedly confirmed that he had indeed come to Rong'an City.

How could Jiangzhou Prefecture be so desolate?

"Little second brother, eat."

When he came to a restaurant, a small second-looking person at the door was lying there, Tang Yu shouted casually, but he didn't react at all.

"But it's weird, is this guy sick?" Tang Yu looked at the shopkeeper who was bowing his head in front of him, and shouted: "Hey! ”

"Ahh Yes! Ay? Xiao Er was so frightened that he almost fell off the bench.

"What are you doing?" He looked at the girl in front of him in alarm.

"What do you ask me? The guests are all in the door, and you are still lying there drying lice? Thanks to your boss, you can still hire you! ”

He threw the towel awkwardly and put it on his shoulder: "Hey, I'm the boss!" ”

"Ouch, okay, boss, give me two random dishes, don't taboo, add spicy!" After that, Tang Yu took out a silver ingot and put it in the boss's hand.

The boss saw the white silver and his eyes lit up, and he was almost like two people just now: "Hey, okay, okay!" Uh, but ......" The boss calmed down for a moment, and then changed back to an embarrassed expression in front of him: "Guest officer, there are some greens left in the store, you see ......"

Tang Yu laughed and said, "You don't even have meat in a restaurant?" ”

"I'm really sorry, we really don't have any money, it's not enough to pay taxes by earning those two melons and dates in total, and the meat can only be bought once in a while."

"Pay taxes? What tax is so heavy? ”

The boss shook his head: "That's too much... I couldn't tell for a while. In this way, you can make me two dishes casually first, and when you are ready, you will say slowly, okay? ”

Tang Yu nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's go." ”

Tang Yu walked outside the door by himself, looking at the depression of all industries in the city, he was really shocked.

"Guest officer, the dish is ready!" The boss's shouting called Tang Yu's mind back.

"Boss, sit."

"No, no, no, you sit!"

"Stop chattering, sit across from you!"

The boss replied embarrassedly: "Hey, okay, I'm sitting ......"

"Boss, is this Rong'an City?"

"This ......" the boss was stunned by Tang Yu's question, "Yes!" ”

"This Rong'an is the state city of Jiangzhou and the seat of governance in Lingnan, how can it be so depressed?"

The boss coughed a few times and said slowly: "Depression? I'm afraid that other places in Lingnan are not as good as here. You just asked me what taxes are so heavy? Hehe, I don't know what kind of tax it is, anyway, if the government wants you to pay, you have to pay it. Don't pay? If you don't pay, you are rebelling against the imperial court! When the time comes, you will be imprisoned and killed, and you will not be able to negotiate at all! ”

Tang Yu was shocked: "This official mansion is so rampant? Is there no one to care? ”

The boss sighed: "It is said that this Lord Zhizhou gave most of the silver he looted to court officials at all levels, and they collected the money, so naturally they would not be serious with this Lord Zhizhou......"

"Who is this Zhizhou?"

"I don't know, we ordinary people can't inquire about these things, we only know that he seems to have some forces in the DPRK and China, and he is a big character."

Tang Yu sneered: "I only dare to bully the people, even if it is a big role, what can I do?" ”

The boss was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard Tang Yu's words: "Guest officer, whisper!" Don't let anyone hear it! It's going to die! ”

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I won't say anything."

Tang Yu looked at the boss who was in a cold sweat, and threw out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it in front of the boss.

"This little silver, take it back to eat a good meal, improve your life-"

"No, no, no! Guest officer, you've given me a lot, this... Can't take it anymore! ”

Tang Yu forcibly grabbed the boss's hand, put the silver in his hand and grasped it steadily: "Take it!" ”

The boss wanted to break free of Tang Yu's hand, but after a struggle, he found that his hands were not moving. The boss's face stiffened a little, and he realized what kind of woman was sitting in front of him.

"I took it, I took it, guest officer! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

"Huh?" Tang Yu was slightly embarrassed to let go of his hand like a pair of pincers, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you eat you, I'll ...... it."

"Stop!"

"Don't run!"

"Stop, little thief!"

"Catch him!"

A chaotic sound sounded from nowhere, and a short, thin boy ran out of the street, followed by a large group of menacing family members.

This group of people was not good, fierce and vicious, the little boy stumbled under his feet, suddenly lost his balance, fell to the ground, and the things in his hands also flew out with a "whoosh", falling at Tang Yu's feet.

Tang Yu opened the paper bag, and there were only a few ordinary cakes inside.

"The little rabbit cub is fat, dare to steal the cake of Huang Ye's house!"

"This little cub was about to steal chickens last time and was caught by us and ran away, and now it can be regarded as falling into our hands!"

"Shoot him!"

Several family members surrounded the child, punched and kicked, the child could not stand the beating, and soon the mouth and nose were bleeding, even so, he still held the half of the cake in his hand and did not let go.

"Huh? Ouch! ”

In the fog, the child only felt that the punches and kicks on his body suddenly disappeared, and with the screams of a group of people, the child gradually opened his eyes.

A slender but powerful arm lifted himself, and all the family members were five steps away, lying on their backs.

"Immortals? Did the gods come to save me? ”

Listening to the child's muttering, Tang Yu lovingly stroked the child's thin cheek.

"Hey, who the hell are you!"

"Relieve this kid and find death!"

"Stinky is getting impatient!"

"You can't speak, just shut your mouth!" Tang Yu said viciously, turning his back to everyone, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Haha, this scares me!" A family member smiled presumptuously, his face full of disdain.

"How about not being able to speak? Stinky? Stinky! ”

They are still laughing uncontrollably.

They will be frightened immediately.

It's just that they never had a chance to be frightened again.

A yellow lightning bolt slashed, and a hole of more than a foot of blood appeared in the chest of seven or eight family members, the flesh and blood on the chest were blurred, and the back of the chest was empty.

In an instant, all the family members were pierced by a sword, and Tang Yu only deliberately left the one who laughed the most presumptuously.
