Open the box, there is a bright red bead as blood quietly in the center of the box, the red bead reveals a strange red glow, the bead is smooth and wrinkle-free, but people can't help but feel a little dizzy at a glance, Chu Hao hurriedly put the bead in the vial he carried with him, and put it in his arms, if he looked at this mysterious bead for a long time, he was afraid that he would faint to the ground.

"I'm going to leave, take good care of Uncle Wang, and I'll come back." "Collect the beads, Chu Hao said to the woman, at this moment he is hungry, he has consumed a lot of energy to travel overnight, and he still has a few coins of silver on his body, just go out to eat some food to deal with it.

The woman nodded, got up to see her off, but was waved by Chu Hao, and the shouts of the men in the room gradually weakened, perhaps because she was tired and fell asleep, and the house began to be quiet again.

The restaurant outside Chu Li, full of dazzling, lively, and a large number of people in and out, but people like Chu Hao are not blessed, looking at the endless stream of people coming in and out, Chu Hao has no envy, and he does not hate those rich people, he was born with the habit of coarse tea and light rice, even if he smells the slightest aroma wafting out inside, he is not moved, he does not envy those people who have big fish and meat, if he was born a rich man, he will not run to the roadside stall to eat those coarse food, what kind of person should live, what kind of life should be lived, his father said such things to him when he was very young, since his father wanted him to be an ordinary person, he should be an ordinary person。

casually walked to a baked cake shop, bought a few hot baked cakes, walked to a place on the side of the road and sat down to nibble, ordinary baked cakes taste delicious when a person is hungry, and when Chu Hao was gnawing hard, a hand next to him pulled the corner of his clothes. Chu Hao turned his head to look. is a ragged beggar. Looking at the baked cake in his hand, he took a piece of baked cake and handed it to the beggar, Chu Hao then nibbled on the baked cake, but the beggar next to him quickly finished eating it, and looked at the only remaining piece of baked cake in his hand, Chu Hao noticed the beggar's gaze, and tore off half of the baked cake in his hand and handed it to the beggar. The two of them quickly solved the huge baked cake, and although Chu Hao was not full, he was also a little full.

Unexpectedly, the beggar who finished eating the baked cake wiped his dusty hand and handed out a piece of iron from his arms, Chu Hao looked at the beggar in surprise, took the piece of iron, and saw some vague inscriptions on the piece of iron, a little curious, but he didn't think about it so much, and put it in his arms. The beggar was given a few copper plates, which was considered a reward.

Get ready to get up. Chu Hao patted the dust behind him, turned his head to look, but found that the beggar beside him was gone, and looked around, and the beggar who was still by his side just now was gone.

Touched out the piece of iron of unknown origin on his body, the words on it were ancient and vague, and he couldn't distinguish the exact content, vaguely with the word "heaven and earth", but the content behind it was covered by rust and could not be known, Chu Hao looked at it carefully, and still found nothing, so he had to put it back in his arms from the beginning, and he had no other thoughts about the beggar who left quietly just now, maybe he didn't pay attention to it after eating the baked cakes, there were too many lanes around, maybe he entered a certain laneway and continued to beg.

After regaining some strength, Chu Hao began to think about how to deal with Uncle Wang's madness now, if he wanted to return to Uncle Wang's house immediately, he really couldn't find an excuse, he would chop wood and cook, but he probably didn't know anything about doing business in the city, and it would be a burden to go back, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.

Just when Chu Hao couldn't figure it out, a tall black horse passed by him coldly, and the dust raised by the black horse fell into Chu Hao's eyes, Chu Hao subconsciously stretched out his right hand to block his side, and his palm rubbed against the horse's body.

It happened too quickly in a moment, so fast that people couldn't react, and the action was instinctive.

The surrounding traders and pedestrians all looked here, and the galloping black horse should have hit Chu Hao, who was rubbing against the horse's body, but something unexpected happened.

The black horse that had not completely stopped the horse's hooves let out a wail, and then fell down five or six feet in front of him, and bright red blood was gushing out of the part where he rubbed against Chu Hao, and the four black horses twitched, but fortunately, the people on the horse reacted sensitively, unlike ordinary people, when the black horse fell, the people above had immediately jumped off the horse.

This is a young man, wearing a cyan robe, with a cold face, and a long gray cloth bag behind him, which seems to have a sword in it, the young man saw the black horse falling, so he looked at Chu Hao questioningly, his eyes were burning, and he wanted Chu Hao to give an answer.

"This friend, can you take a step to speak?"

After being silent for a while, seeing that Chu Hao did not make the slightest move, the young man finally spoke, his face softened slightly.

Chu Hao, who was stunned in place, immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked at his right hand, which was as good as ever, and then responded to the young man opposite, who let go of the frowning brows, and didn't care about the black horse that fell to the ground, and walked straight into the nearest restaurant "Hongyun Building", Chu Hao followed behind.

After the two entered the building, the shopkeeper Xiao Er came forward and asked, "Do you want to eat some wine and food?"

After finding a secluded spot and sitting down, the young man responded, "Serve a few side dishes, don't be too meaty." He stretched out his hand, put a piece of silver, put it on the table, and said, "Dispose of the horse outside, and the rest of the money will be yours." ”

Xiao Ermei smiled, nodded constantly, and said, "Okay, guest officer, please wait, the meal will arrive later." Then he left the place in a puff of smoke.

"Friend, your surname, is under the surname of Fang Ming, I have offended a lot of things just now, please forgive me. ”

After there was no one around, Fang Zhong, whose attitude changed very quickly, smiled at Chu Hao, his face was not as cold as just now, maybe there were more people looking around, and if he didn't pull down his face, he was afraid that there would be more and more.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this young man named Fang Zhong in front of me. Now that everyone has changed their attitudes, there is no need for Chu Hao to continue the stalemate, not to mention that he is the one who is at a loss.

"My surname is Chu. ”

Seeing that Chu Hao just reported a surname, Fang Zhong was not impatient, the black horse just now passed by the young man in front of him, and if he was an ordinary person, an accident had already occurred, and Chu Hao in front of him was obviously not the slightest surprise, this was what impressed him, so he concluded that Chu Hao must be a cultivator, and to have such achievements at a young age, background is indispensable.

"Brother Chu. Hurry today. Didn't notice the offense to you. Please don't take it to heart, I can't hide it, I'm in a hurry, so I look like that. Fang Zhong explained that he did have something important to do, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry.

"It's fine. ”

Chu Hao sat down and said, now he sensed a kind of heat on his right arm, which made him feel abnormal. He didn't understand what happened just now, how could a sturdy black horse be gently wiped by him and fall to the ground, didn't his father say that he sealed his spiritual root, he was just an ordinary person, why was there like that.

Seeing that Chu Hao didn't care too much about what happened just now, Fang Zhong put his mind at ease and continued: "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, I am an inner disciple of the Tongtian Sword Sect, and the sect elder has an order, let me come to Yicheng to find out some things. ”

Hongyun Lou's is really extraordinary. A few side dishes were delivered so quickly, and Chu Hao was not full of the few baked cakes just now. When he saw the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but have a great appetite, but hearing Fang Zhong's words made him curious.

Seeing Chu Hao's curious gaze, Fang Zhong was extremely relieved at the moment, the sect elder sent him to Yicheng alone, he was also bottomless, and he happened to meet Chu Hao today, so he came up with a way to let Chu Hao go there to find out the truth, and there was just a response.

"It is rumored that there are monsters in the eastern suburbs of Yicheng, and I am also the order of the elder, so I will go to find out, but I am not very familiar with the terrain of Yicheng, and I see that Brother Chu is not an ordinary person today, so I want to invite Brother Chu to go with me to eliminate harm for the people. ”

Hearing Fang Zhong's words, Chu Hao hesitated a little, but was seen by Fang Zhong, but he was not in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Let's not mention the elimination of harm for the people, let's eat first." ”

Chu Hao, who was aroused by his appetite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, thinking about the words of the square clock in his heart, a few bowls of rice were eaten, and the tiredness was swept away, but fortunately, when he was in the village, his father always asked him to go out at night to fetch water and firewood, and he didn't feel sleepy all night, and he was still full of energy after a night's journey.

"Good. ”

After eating, Chu Hao said suddenly, Fang Zhong, who was beaming with joy, saw that Chu Hao readily agreed, stood up and said, "Then let's go, otherwise it will be too late and many things will not be seen clearly." ”

Chu Hao didn't say much, got up and walked out of the restaurant with Fang Zhong, and just when he arrived at the door, he asked again: "That black horse can't move, will it delay time?"

Fang Zhong smiled heartily and waved his hand: "When we arrive in Yicheng, it is not far from the eastern suburbs, and we can walk." ”

Out of the east gate of Yicheng, it is no longer as prosperous as in the city, and the people are gradually sparse a lot, and there are some fields outside the city, planting some crops, but also extraordinarily lush, the wind and rain have been smooth in these years, and people have lived a relatively stable life.

Fang Zhong, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Chu, I saw that you are extraordinary today, I don't know where you came from?"

Chu Hao was taken aback, he didn't expect Fang Zhong to ask him like this, but he couldn't answer, so he had no choice but to answer: "Actually, I'm not from Yicheng, I'm just from a small village outside, and I'm not familiar with it in the eastern suburbs of Yicheng." ”

Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses, thinking that Chu Hao didn't want to sue him, but he didn't care about this, Chu Hao didn't say that it was inconvenient for him to ask, and said, "Brother Chu, what is your magic weapon?"

The word magic weapon jumped into Chu Hao's ears, and he guessed that it might be an object that a cultivator carried with him, such as a weapon.

Chu Hao was dumbfounded and said, "I don't have a magic weapon." ”

As if he had anticipated Chu Hao's words, Fang Zhong didn't even explore, took off the package behind him, and tied the gray cloth wrapped around the object around his waist, and the things in it were displayed in front of Chu Hao's eyes.

This is a sword, but the blade is not as sharp as an ordinary blade, but it is glowing with a little light, and the copper-colored sword body does not look like a sharp weapon, but there is an indescribable feeling that this unusual sword in my consciousness is much more mysterious than those swords made of fine iron.

"This is my magic weapon, but I haven't cultivated my spirituality yet, and it can't be called a magic weapon, it's enough to deal with ordinary monsters, the sword name is Chiling, and it's made of thousand-year-old bronze. ”

Looking at the sword in his hand, Fang Zhong's face was satisfied, although this sword has not yet cultivated spirituality, but it is not far from spirituality, and there is a feeling of dissolving with him in his hand, the elder said that this feeling is the time when the omen is about to conceive a spirit.

Along the way, Chu Hao didn't have many words, but Fang Zhong said a lot, saying some strange things that Chu Hao had never heard before, such as the magic weapon with spiritual power that can be controlled in the air, and even the disciples with magical powers can fly with a sword, that realm is extremely demanding, so among the inner disciples, the number is very small, and there are some animals with spiritual roots that are not in danger of the world, and have become the mounts of some cultivators. There are even more spiritual creatures. Its cultivation is comparable to Tongtian. Between breaths, you can call the wind and rain to shake the mountains.

Chu Hao couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart, it turned out that in addition to ordinary people, there was another world, so when his father said these three words, he had never seen a look he had never seen, and the gap would be so big.

The eastern suburbs of Yicheng are many mountain peaks. And dense trees, the mountains are towering and green, the top of the mountain peak is perennially foggy, so that people can not see the reality clearly, there is no lack of trees under the mountain like the hundred-year-old trees outside the village of Yinming, the aura contains, the birth of a lot of rare precious materials, so that the traders and medicine pickers have to go, to the days before the disappearance of several people, here is almost no longer see the figure.

Stand outside the dense trees. Chu Hao's heart jumped, and a feeling of uneasiness filled his body. And Fang Zhong said disapprerovingly: "It is indeed rich in aura here, but there is still a big gap compared to the several peaks of our Tongtian Sword Sect, I want to see what kind of monsters have appeared here today, daring to danger the world." ”

A righteous and upright words reduced the uneasiness in Chu Hao's heart a little, although he was an ordinary person, he had never been afraid of anything, didn't his father even hunt monsters that became spirits, as the son of Orion, that nature, especially Fang Zhong's words, gave him an inexplicable courage to explore what the mysterious monster that made Uncle Wang crazy looked like.

Glancing at each other, the two entered this dark tree side by side, and the dense tree was like an abyssal mouth, swallowing the two small figures into it.

And with the movements of the two, a strange aura floated between the trees.

Unknown dangers seem to be waiting for them at the end.

There was silence in the depths of Michu, and the usual birdsong was gone, and the two people walking among the trees looked around from time to time, but they didn't find anything abnormal, Fang Zhong squatted down, and Chu Hao, who followed behind, stopped, looking at Fang Zhong who was acting strangely, I don't know what was going on.

I saw Fang Zhong take out the Chiling Sword he was carrying, plunge it into the ground under him a foot, close his eyes, and quietly feel something, the Chiling Sword body emitted a faint red light, spreading along the surface of the ground.

After a long time, Fang Zhong withdrew Chi Ling and said to Chu Hao: "This is the Earth Exploration Technique, the secret technique of our Tongtian Sword Sect, but I used Chi Ling to explore just now, and there was not the slightest movement within a radius of one mile. ”

After Chu Hao heard this, he was dumbfounded, the strangeness of the Dao technique was so exquisite, this Earth Exploration Technique was only one of them, maybe there was even more powerful Immortal Dao Technique in the Tongtian Sword Sect.

Seeing that Chu Hao was speechless, Fang Zhong, who looked a little solemn, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chu, haven't you found out?"

"What?" Chu Hao wondered.

"There's no movement in a radius of one mile, isn't that too unusual?" Fang Zhong looked at Mi Chu in front of him and said calmly.

Is there no birds and beasts in the deep mountains, and there will be some movement, but the abnormal atmosphere around is so quiet that people are frightened, where did those birds and beasts go?

After thinking about this, Chu Hao began to pay attention, the surroundings were really lifeless, in the past, when he went out hunting with his father, one of them was to use his ears to listen to the movement, there were many trees around, and there was no sound at all, which was too abnormal.

"Brother Chu, it seems that there are indeed monsters here, but I don't know where the monsters are, although I can go back to the mountain to report now, but in case the elder asks me to tell the details, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

After half a ring, Fang Zhong hesitated, but Chu Hao behind him didn't say a word, and when he looked at it, he found that Chu Hao was also the same as him just now, closed his eyes, Fang Zhong thought that Chu Hao had also begun to use secret methods to explore the surroundings, so he didn't bother for a while, just waited slowly.

As everyone knows, Chu Hao closed his eyes, but did not perform secret methods such as earth exploration, but listened quietly with his ears and felt the movements around him with his body, which was a skill he quietly learned when his father was hunting.

Seeing Chu Hao reopen his eyes, Fang Zhong couldn't wait to say, "Brother Chu, have you found anything?"

Standing in the center of Michu, Chu Hao looked around and said slowly: "Have you noticed that from the time we entered this Shuchu, there was a feeling of being secretly watched?"

Asked by Chu Hao, Fang Zhong pondered for a while and said, "I didn't expect you to feel this way." ”

Indeed, from the moment they entered this tree, there was a feeling that their backs were being stared at, and it seemed to be an illusion, but that gaze did not seem to be completely on them, and this feeling would disappear.

"What else did you find just now?" Fang Zhong couldn't help but ask, he didn't believe that Chu Hao had only used the secret technique to get this uncertainty.

It became so silent that not a single birdsong could be heard, let alone the movement of any living creatures.

"Something is approaching us, listen carefully. Sensing the abnormal changes around him, Chu Hao hurriedly spoke, couldn't help clenching his fists, and then smiled bitterly, his only magic weapon at the critical moment was only these fists.

Sure enough, a rustling sound came from his ears, but the specifics were not clear, this hearing made Fang Zhong even more impressed with Chu Hao, he had just used the earth exploration technique and did not find it, Chu Hao just heard it and found it, and couldn't help but be very curious about Chu Hao's cultivation, how did he know that Chu Hao's ear power has always been different from ordinary people, and in the past, when he was in Yinming Village, he could clearly distinguish the barking of dogs at night.

The rustling sound became more and more obvious, and it seemed that the target was the two of them, who may have been in the bag of the unknown monster since they first entered.

At this moment, Fang Zhong hurriedly drew a strange pattern on the ground with Chi Ling in his hand, like the mysterious pattern that Chu Hao accidentally peeped into the old man's house surnamed Huang, Fang Zhong's hand shape was extremely fast, and he seemed to be very familiar with this pattern, and after a while, the pattern had been formed, Fang Zhong stood in the center, pierced into the center of the pattern with a sword, and whispered Chu Hao's inaudible words in his mouth.

"Brother Chu, don't make a sound, wait for me to lure this monster away, you go out the same way, and I'll be there later. ”

After saying a word, Fang Zhong turned into a red light and disappeared on this strange pattern, and Chu Hao clearly felt that a qi machine came from his body and locked him firmly, making him sweat profusely and unable to move for a while.

You're just an ordinary person.

A voice suddenly sounded in the young man's heart, ethereal.

And the movement around him was closer, for some reason, at this moment he was more calm, as if waiting for the arrival of that monster, quietly closed his eyes, but suddenly found that this qi was a little different from what he felt when he entered Shuchu just now, not like the same feeling.

Maybe it's a delusion, but so what, he's just an ordinary person.

But just when the rustle was about to face him, it suddenly disappeared again, but in another direction, gradually moving away, Chu Hao only opened his eyes at this time, the strange pattern where the square clock disappeared had been covered by thick leaves, and I don't know what happened around, there was no wind, but the leaves on several trees were fluttering, and the fallen leaves on the ground were scattered everywhere, as if a behemoth passed by here.

Somewhere in the distance, there was a sudden loud noise at this moment, as if the monster had found the square bell that had escaped from here, and a few dull screams returned to Chu Hao's ears, that monster may not have expected that the prey that should have been in its bag would dare to escape, so he gave up Chu Hao here and chased after the fleeing prey.

Thinking of what Fang Zhong said before he left, without hesitation, Chu Hao went back the way he came, but a familiar feeling enveloped him.

This is the feeling of being secretly watched when they first entered from the outside, as if there was nothing, but it has always shrouded him.

Without thinking too much, Chu Hao still left this place of right and wrong in a hurry.

Just walked a few steps, the sound in the distance suddenly stopped, which made Chu Hao more uneasy, his steps were faster, the strange atmosphere in the wind became heavier and heavier, the rapid wind continued to move towards him, and the heat in his arms, Chu Hao saw that the red beads contained in the wooden box reflected a faint red light through his clothes, which was very strange.

After walking for about a few dozen steps, suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a behemoth blocked Chu Hao's way.

A big black snake stopped in front of Chu Hao, about a few zhang long, covered with black scales the size of a palm, as thick as an adult's body, with two slightly smaller protrusions on the top of its head, the big snake spat out crimson letters, and its eyes glowing with green light stared at Chu Hao coldly.

The kind of qi that was fixed reappeared, and being watched by the behemoth, Chu Hao's legs and feet were a little weak, making him stand unsteadily, and the red light reflected in his arms was even stronger, and the wooden box that hid the red beads could not block the red light.
