Volume 1: The Stream Millennia Volume 1, Chapter 21, When the mission is in progress

On the third day, at the bottom of the west mountain of Dashipo, Sun Zikai was holding the small cowhide book, and ten zhang in front of him, there was a man with a scruffy beard, who was Qin Heng.

Qin Heng looked at the fool with a look on his face and said, "You mean, you want to exchange my head for money, little ghost, how old are you?" ”

Sun Zikai lowered his head and looked at the notebook, already scanning the content of the second task, and replied nonchalantly: "Thirteen." ”

"Hahahaha, a young man like you, Lao Tzu has slaughtered more than 20 of them."

"Oh." Sun Zikai handed the notebook to Jiang Yujin beside him, took a deep breath, held the scabbard in his left hand, pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and the air flow appeared in his mouth, he leaned down, and then rushed towards Qin Heng, "Turn gas into a blade, luck without a knife, a wave without a knife...... Hey, it's boring. ”

He suddenly stopped halfway, his whole energy was gone, and his hands were in his front pockets, not so much indifferent as lazy.

Qin Heng wondered: "Boy, why don't you continue, you're afraid?" ”

But as soon as the words fell, he suddenly covered his neck in horror, blood gushed out, and until he died, Qin Heng didn't know when his neck was cut off.

Sun Zikai stepped forward, cut off Qin Heng's head with a knife, and used hemp rope to tie three knots with his hair, and easily lifted the head steadily, and it was very stable, and the blood would not spill on his body.

"No, take it."

"Let me take it?" Jiang Yujin shook her head again and again.

"It's not the first time you've seen me kill someone, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Yujin still refused to touch the bloody head, Sun Zikai had to carry it himself, and the two walked towards the location of the next task.

An hour later, in the Dongfang Valley, the two people were tied into three knots by hemp rope and lifted, Sun Zikai stood aside and drew two names with an ink pen dipped in saliva.

Jiang Yujin raised her head, she was about to vomit in disgust, she didn't dare to look down, and kept urging: "Are you okay, the blood is going to flow to my legs." ”

That night, three miles outside Jijia Village, a big man was tied around his neck by a thin rope and hung from a thick tree trunk, he kept struggling, and his face was purple and red.

Sun Zikai took the book and kept urging: "Can you hurry up, you have to rush to the next location in the middle of the night." ”

Jiang Yujin took Sun Zikai's knife and measured it on the neck of the big man, the knife was trembling, her arm was shaking, and finally she couldn't get her hands down, crying: "Why do you have to let me do this kind of thing, woo..."

Sun Zikai said helplessly: "The words on that person's house are clear, and only by bringing the head back can the task be completed." ”

"Then why don't you cut off your head."

"It's not like I've already cut three, besides, it's part of the practice."

"Crooked, how can this be considered a practice? This is homicide. ”

"The task is to kill you, if you don't kill, what else are you practicing? Go back to being your princess? ”

When Jiang Yujin heard this, her blood ignited, she should have faced the bloody killing, what else was she afraid of the people who were living under the butcher's knife?

She closed her eyes and slashed at the big man's neck with a knife, the sharp blade of which was not easy to cut. And the man's screams and the gushing sound of blood made Jiang Yujin collapse again, cutting constantly, she had to saw, the sound of bones sliding, and the sound of the man's throat, Jiang Yujin endured to the limit, she couldn't open her eyes, felt dizzy, sat on the ground, and cried: "I can't do it!" ”

Sun Zikai sighed and walked over, picked up the knife, and cut off the big man's neck with one sword. Then he scratched the book, turned another page, and said, "I'm in a hurry, and I can still meet a target." ”

Jiang Yujin looked like she was not giving up, Sun Zikai had to carry her, Jiang Yujin asked puzzled after a long time: "Is this considered cultivation?" Did the other disciples do this? ”

"yes, how else can you get stronger? Okay, you kill him next, and I'll help you trap him at most. ”

In the second half of the night, on the flat ground, Jiang Yujin held a knife in both hands, tensed her body, and faced a woman who practiced the second stage of qi. Jiang Yujin is different from Sun Zikai, she first gave the other party the reason for the battle, and said: "You, after you defected to the sect, you tortured and killed more than 40 people, and also killed four cultivators who came to crusade, the crime is unforgivable." ”

The woman smiled contemptuously and said, "Nizi, are you here to take my head?" ”

"Exactly, I came here to take over the mission of the sect, and this will subdue you!"

"Law?" The woman scoffed, "You think you can judge me?" ”

"Exactly, accept the sanctions!" Jiang Yujin rushed forward.

"Hey, the little ghost of the third stage of condensation." As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw a little cold light come to her, she didn't expect this girl's knife to stab so fast, and she had already lost in terms of speed.

had to burst out of the aura to reluctantly change the direction of the blade, but the cold blade passed through and pierced the woman's face, and when the woman was about to grab her, Jiang Yujin and the knife retreated.

She only felt a gust of wind, the pain on her face did not bring herself back to her senses, the woman stared at Jiang Yujin, her tone was a little suspicious, and said, "What kind of body and technique are you?" It's impossible for a cultivator to have such a skill as you? Are you from the inner door? But then I felt that it was wrong, the disciple of the inner gate, at this age, it was impossible to be just the third stage of condensation.

However, the woman would not give Jiang Yujin another chance, her aura exploded, her fingers dipped the blood on her face, drew talismans in the air, and whispered: "Ghost coming!" ”

Fu light appeared, a black skeleton crawled out, but it was half virtual and half real, for people in the same realm, this is a magic body that can be dispersed with pure and thick aura, but for people with too little aura in the low realm, this ghost skeleton is a nightmare that can't be killed and can't be dispersed.

The black skeleton "lived" and killed Jiang Yujin, the speed was actually not slow, but the cultivators who came out of Yan Mingzong cultivated the way in qi, not in the body, they could control the qi to the point of being superb, but the physique and body were both weak, and it also allowed Jiang Yujin, who practiced the "wind step" to the point of handy, found an opportunity.

Jiang Yujin remembered what Sun Zikai told her, there are not so many showmanships and repeated rounds in the duel, the battle of life and death only takes a moment, and there is only one chance.

She followed the wind, easily dodging the ghost skeleton's three kills, pretending to move backwards, but calculated the distance and number of steps for the kill, and when she staggered the ghost skeleton for the fourth time, she leaned over and came out close to the ground, and the wind turned in front of the woman.

The woman panicked, and before she could raise her hand, Jiang Yujin turned behind her again, she practiced this action countless times, she simply pushed the knife out and stabbed the woman in the back, but this move, the woman can't dodge.

The chest was pierced, but the hole was ablaze, and the woman did not collapse in her madness before she died, but turned around in disbelief and looked at the two little imps.

Jiang Yujin maintained the stabbing motion, and Sun Zikai's fingers were pointed at the blade, and the flames were born from this.

The woman's organs were burning, and she sat down on the ground, and death did not terrify her, but relieved her, and the sound of burning flesh and blood resounded in the quiet of the night.

The woman whispered, "You are cultivators? ”

Sun Zikai nodded, the woman tilted her head, smiled in relief, and then did not change her posture, and was burned to the end.

Sun Zikai withdrew his hand, the reason why he made a move was that he had insight into Jiang Yujin's key stab was not enough to kill the other party, after all, he was a master of the Qi training period, and the aura was beaten countless times in the body, which also played a role in quenching and enhancing the body.

Putting the knife in front of Jiang Yujin, Sun Zikai asked her to cut off her head by herself, which was her first battle and her first victory.

Jiang Yujin took the knife, but she didn't walk over, she silently waited for the flames to go out, and the woman also became black charcoal. In the end, the two worked together to bury the woman, but only buryed, leaving no trace that could prove that the woman had existed in the world.

Sun Zikai asked, "Can you accept all this?" ”

Jiang Yujin nodded, shook his head again, Sun Zikai silently took out the notebook, opened it, and said: "Just rest here for two hours, it's dawn, and I'll go to the next place." ”

On the fifth day, in the outer door repair room, fourteen bloody human heads were placed on the table, and the elder holding the ink pen in his hand did not slow down for a long time. He looked at the portrait over and over again, he had lived for more than sixty years, but he had never seen such a strange thing, these two little ghosts who had not dried up and whose strength was only one and three stages of Qi condensation, actually killed fourteen key criminals in the Qi training period, and fourteen fifth-level tasks, which were completed by the two of them in two days.

First of all, it was impossible, the elder was adamant in his heart. So how did these heads, which look like criminals, come together?

The elders faintly felt that this matter was not small, so they asked Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin to wait in the cultivation room, and then urgently contacted the three elders and asked them to gallop quickly and go everywhere to find out.

The elders did not make a public announcement about the matter, but secretly blocked the news and greeted all the disciples who had seen it. And they did not rush to interrogate Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin, and discussed in the dark for a long time before taking action.

Jiang Yujin uneasily pulled Sun Zikai's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Are we doing too much?" ”

Sun Zikai said in a low voice: "Look at this appearance, it should be, are you hungry?" ”

"Hungry."

As soon as the words fell, a group of elders came to them, and the first one said: "The task has been completed well, your surname is Sun, and her surname is Jiang." ”

"Yes, my name is Sun Zikai, and she is Jiang Yujin."

The elder asked tentatively, "Which one are you up to... Something to do with it? ”

Sun Zikai quickly reasoned about all possibilities in his mind, he thought that the elders believed that he and Jiang Yujin could not complete the task, so he felt that someone had helped these two imps, in this case, the two children might be spies, but it was too exaggerated for spies to go undercover in this way, so it was not the assistance of outsiders, but the meaning of the inner door.

It won't be the elder of the inner gate, Sun Zikai has personally witnessed the acceptance criteria of the Moving Dust Sect and the Yan Ming Sect, the benefits are in place, and the inner door can enter at will, if they can climb the elder of the inner gate, why do they need to go to great lengths to do this trick? Therefore, it should be the person at the level of the sect master above the inner door elders, or even the sect master, who came up with this trick, which is also the reason why the outer gate elders dare not take any action.

After Sun Zikai figured it out, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, recalling an old guest he had seen many years ago.

"I can't tell you his name," he said. ”

The elders looked at each other, and there was a rhyme between their eyebrows, and the elder at the head of the elder asked again, "Child, you can give a little hint." ”

"I can only say that he is flying in the sky, stepping on a Aomine sword." Many years ago, Sun Zikai once asked the man if he could teach himself how to practice, and the man told him that cultivation is not self-cultivation, and asked Sun Zikai to go back to the city for a peaceful birthday.

As soon as they heard the Aomine Sword, the elders immediately knew the answer, and one of the elders had a smug look, as if to indicate that they had guessed correctly.

The elder at the head took out a money bag, hesitated for a moment, and was ruthless, without opening it, he pressed it into Sun Zikai's hand, patted the money bag and said: "This is the reward for the task, you have done a good job, I am Nie Hai, the Great Elder of the Ancient Pavilion of the Cultivation Department, you can come to me if you have any questions." ”

Sun Zikai opened the money bag, glanced at it, and said suspiciously: "Elder, this is a lot." ”

Nie Hai nodded with a smile, and without saying a word, Sun Zikai accepted the money, and was just about to thank him, when an elder took out two small pieces of wood, with some words engraved on them, and an obvious energy reaction, the elder said: "The two young men have opened up a precedent for the disciples of my sect to continuously skip the level and kill the enemy, and this kind of good achievement is a reward, so let's do it, I am the Great Elder of the Yuan Pavilion Wang Jiaqiao, on behalf of all the elders, I will give you two of you a special reward, with this card, you two can go to Manqian Building to exchange for a spell." ”

"Really?" Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin glanced at each other, and they were both pleasantly surprised.

The rest of the elders all looked gloomy, and one elder said, "Elder Wang has done this, what else can we say, hehe." ”

Nie Hai even smiled half-darkly, and said: "Elder Wang's brand is a quota shared by our cultivation elders, and it is abrupt to take it out, but these two children can also afford it, so let's make the decision, I agreed to this proposal, what do you say." ”

The elders have their own ghosts, but at this time, there is no other way than to say yes.

Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin received the sign and money, and walked out of the repair room in a low-key manner.

On the edge of the first garden, Fu Zhe stood in the middle of the rabbit, and the elder of the outer gate who guarded it respectfully accompanied him, and after recounting the events of the day, he closed his mouth and listened to the instructions.

Fu Zhe pondered for a long time, and then whispered: "This rabbit is not easy to catch, if the disciples can catch it, they have to cultivate themselves." ”

The elder hurriedly answered, "You're right, the subordinates of the inner sect don't know about it, but among the outer disciples, there is no one who can cultivate the body method to such a state. ”

Fu Zhe went around the bend and slowly walked into the forest, and the elder immediately followed, and continued: "It's difficult to catch a rabbit, let alone so much, of course, the outer disciples also practice magic, so it's no problem to make the rabbit lose its mobility, but if you don't hurt the rabbit, it will be impossible to string together more than eight hundred rabbits in a short period of time, it will only be ...... Higher..."

Feeling Fu Zhe's cold gaze, the elder immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head with a smile.

Fuzhe asked again: "At that time, was there a woman in the forest?" ”

"Eh, it's a female voice, but it's ......"

"But what?"

The elder didn't dare to hide it, and said, "But I pondered and recalled that voice many times later, and I always felt that it was a little immature, not like an adult shouting, but like a little girl's cry." ”

"So that means someone deliberately disguised it?"

"The subordinates don't dare to speculate," the elder said cautiously, "Sect Master, the sect master has sent someone to pass the word, this matter is over, just hurry over... You..."

Fu Zhe put his back behind him and said, "I'm just curious, just ask." ”

"Yes."

Fu Zhe stood for a moment, thinking that he couldn't get any news here, so he was about to leave, but he inadvertently asked: "This rabbit is very difficult to catch, have the outer disciples ever caught it?" ”

The elder immediately said: "It's difficult for the outer disciples to catch it, but there are really ones that can be caught, and the most recent one happened just a few days ago, eh?" Yes, on the day the rabbit was lost, the two children, who came up from miscellaneous places, practiced for many years with a breath method, and condensed their qi, but they were not young, they were thirteen years old. ”

Fu Zhe interjected: "Thirteen years old practice, it's too late. ”

"Yes, at that time, Elder Chongming had this problem, and wanted the two of them to retreat, who knows, the two of them really caught two rabbits and passed the test, I pondered, it was also the good luck of the two of them, taking advantage of the chaos, to catch the rabbit that was released from the black forest."

Fu Zhe's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became interested in this matter, and asked, "Are you sure they caught the rabbit after the incident, not before the incident?" ”

"Well, they greeted me when they came, probably before the rabbits disappeared, but I didn't notice them afterwards."

"In other words, the two of them were let in, and it is possible that they witnessed the whole process of the rabbit being caught?"

"This ......," the elder said suddenly, "subordinates, I didn't think of this. ”

"Did the two of them do it?" Fuzhe asked.

The elder smiled and said, "Door master, that kid has only condensed qi for one stage, and the girl has only condensed qi for three stages, and it is difficult for them to catch one." ”

Fuzhe said: "Do you think that the rabbit that was released from the black forest is not a rabbit?" ”

"This ......"

"Rabbits are still rabbits, it's easier said than done to catch them, how can the two of them each grab a rabbit and go?"

The elder was speechless and couldn't answer, Fu Zhe pondered for a moment, and then said sharply: "Even if they didn't do it, they must know the inside story, who they are and where are they now?" ”

"Well, these subordinates don't know, where they are assigned by the cultivation office, where they are, why don't you go there and ask."
