Chapter 18 Molting Skin, Who is the Nobleman?
The west side of the city is near the sea of grass, and the east side is the official road into Zhongzhou, which is an endless plain. For thousands of years, the people and farmers of the city of Broken Water have left the city at sunrise and rested in the city at sunset, and thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city have supported the food supply of the entire Xixia Prefecture.
The people of the new country did not have professional farmers, and they did not build houses and villages outside the city, except for spring planting and autumn harvest, they would sleep in temporary farmhouses for a few nights, and on weekdays, soldiers from the border army would replace the people to weeds and insects. Even the matter of rainfall and flood control was controlled by the rain supervisor set up by the imperial court. As a military state, Xixia Prefecture has been at war for thousands of years, and fewer people are willing to live outside the city. Therefore, the people of Xixia Prefecture are not only farmers, but also hold various occupations. And those temporary farmhouses were abandoned after a long time, and became abandoned houses.
When Wang Lin ran to the gate of the east wall of the Broken Water City, a fish-belly white floated in the sky, and the earth gradually brightened, while the ground blocked by the city wall was still pitch black, and the faint light shone on the majestic east city wall, showing the scars on the city wall, which were the traces of the war five years ago, and these traces are still engraved on the wall today, warning people to live in peace and be in danger.
Just past the time of curfew, the guard stretched out his hands and stroked his face, yawned secretly, and then walked to the towering city gate and ordered the two guards to open the gate.
Wang Lin stood not far away, walking towards the city gate, the two guards pushed the huge gate hard, the gate made a creaking sound, and then the land in the city occupied by the shadow of the towering city wall became bright little by little, until the city gate was opened, and the day of the Broken Water City was really coming.
Because it was early spring, Wang Lin saw through the city gate the endless green farmland in the distance, as well as the nearby merchants and travelers who did not enter the city before the curfew last night, and had no choice but to stay at the city gate for the night. Inside this wall, outside the wall, it is like two worlds, one side is a rich city and county, full of color, and the other is a green farmland, full of vitality.
Wang Lin did not delay, and walked directly out of Broken Water City and walked towards the depths of the field. Because of the tense situation on the border, all the border troops were transferred back to the border Broken Mountain Camp, so the entire field was empty. Wang Lin followed the instructions of the old Taoist and marched towards the abandoned farmhouse thirty miles away.
After walking about twenty miles, suddenly, a barefoot leg stretched out from behind a huge birch tree beside the official road ahead. Wang Lin was first surprised, and then he was ready to fight. But after a while, Wang Lin found that the leg did not seem to have any follow-up movement, so he moved forward cautiously, and then saw a ragged beggar, leaning on the back of a birch tree, with a huge abscess on his chest, and he could hear phlegm stuck in his throat between his breaths, accompanied by exhalation, and whining.
The beggar saw Wang Lin appear in front of him in a daze, and said weakly: "Master, save me, save me...... Town...... Doctor...... Rescue" and then a mouthful of dirty blood protruded from his mouth and fainted.
So there are two problems in front of Wang Lin, save the beggar, then the best opportunity to rescue the girl will inevitably be lost, and the murderer is so angry that there is no guarantee that he will not kill the killer. And if you leave the beggar here, looking at the beggar's appearance, you will be dead and lifeless. Wang Lin, who was pressed for time, didn't have time to think too much, and regardless of the filth and evil spirit of the beggar, he picked up the beggar and ran towards the abandoned farmhouse.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Cao Yuanpeng and Liu Yanmei traveled through the clouds one after the other, Cao Yuanpeng was in the middle of the Heavenly Realm, and Liu Yanmei was at the peak of the Absolute Realm, and he could barely follow Cao Yuanpeng in the sky with the help of Confucian secret methods, after all, he was out of a big realm.
Liu Yanmei looked at Cao Yuanpeng, who threw himself far away, but if he regretted fleeing, he could instantly appear in front of him and restrain him, gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of jealousy, and he didn't know how many dirty words he scolded Confucian founder Kong Sheng in his heart. But after thinking about it, if Cao Yuanpeng could really unlock this layer of human skin confinement on his body, the cultivation accumulated over thousands of years could allow him to fly directly to the Heavenly Dao when he got out. At that time, Confucianism should also be destroyed.
Xixia Prefecture is different from other continents, and the war of the gods in the sky has been recorded in the history books, and there are more that have not been recorded. In addition, it has been war-torn for a long time, so looking at the landform of Xixia Prefecture from the sky always gives people a solemn and iron-blooded feeling.
After a while, Liu Yanmei found that Cao Yuanpeng was no longer moving forward, suspended in the air, and a hundred meters away, an old Taoist was holding a faint fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, who was rapidly approaching.
Liu Yanmei's hairs stood on end, because this old Taoist was the Pure Yangzi, the peak power of the Heaven Ascending Realm who almost killed him that day and night, and had to use the life-saving secret technique to escape.
Seeing that Chunyangzi was getting closer and closer, Liu Yanmei became more and more nervous, and looked at Cao Yuanpeng: "You, you, help me stop him!"
Cao Yuanpeng didn't look back, just let out a "hmm" sound, and flew towards the old road.
"Meet the Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable!" Cao Yuanpeng's loud voice shocked the void.
The old Taoist also nodded and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I brought it to you, and it can be regarded as repaying the wrath of the Heavenly Dao for you to block for me last night." ”
Cao Yuanpeng nodded lightly and said, "Ye Ran is my disciple, although I let him go, but I also contributed to this incident, I am really ashamed of him." ”
The old Taoist didn't respond, just looked at Liu Yanmei behind Cao Yuanpeng, thought for a while and said, "The next thing is to deal with this heaven and earth demon." ”
When Liu Yanmei heard this, he was even more frightened, and immediately shouted loudly to Cao Yuanpeng: "Cao, Cao Yuanpeng, if you don't save me, no one will take the blame for your apprentice!"
Cao Yuanpeng still didn't look back, just said to Chunyangzi: "You're right, it's time to deal with this heaven and earth demon." “
Then he held the void hand, a seven-foot-long tassel in his hand, and then turned around and stabbed straight at Liu Yanmei.
Today, with the long tassel in hand, why are you afraid of binding the dragon?
What's more, it's just a snake on the ground.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Thirty miles outside the city of Broken Water, in a deserted house, Wang Lin gently pushed open the somewhat dilapidated and rotten wooden door, only to see a poor girl of fourteen or fifteen years old lying on the ground, covered in dust, and tears on her cheeks and tears left by tears.
Wang Lin stepped forward nervously and found that this girl and the kind girl's face were very similar, with a fair face, faint willow eyebrows, and a small nose and small mouth. are all the same cute and innocent, but the girl in front of her has a touch of alluring temperament, and her figure has become graceful and colorful.
Wang Lin tried the girl's snort, steady and powerful, it seemed that he was just exhausted, and fell asleep, so he picked up the girl, and carried her out of the dilapidated farmhouse without caring about thirty-seven twenty-one, and then went to continue looking for the girl from last night.
When Wang Lin had just taken the girl out of the house. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a figure fell rapidly, smashing on the ground, making a cloud of smoke and dust, Wang Lin carefully put down the girl gently, picked up a hoe without a hoe from the ground, and stood sideways in front of him.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and I saw that it was Liu Yanmei, lying on the ground, covered in blood, he stared at the sky viciously, and then slowly turned his head, and saw Wang Lin, and laughed weirdly and terrifyingly: "It's all because of you, it's all because of you, I want to eat you, I want to eat all the people in the world, anyway, like a snake, Liu Yanmei, who was lying on the ground, actually crawled towards Wang Lin with a twist." Blazing fast. Leaving a trail of sinuous blood on the ground
Wang Lin was taken aback by this terrible scene, but under the crisis of life and death, he quickly swept away Liu Yanmei who was lying on his back with a stick. But Liu Yanmei's crawling method was extremely weird, Wang Lin couldn't sweep him at all, and he was weirdly dodged every time. Seeing that Liu Yanmei was getting closer and closer to him, Wang Lin had to change his offense to defense, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yanmei slammed into Wang Lin crookedly, but with great strength, Wang Lin was knocked out all of a sudden, just smashed the broken door of the farmhouse and fell into the house.
Wang Lin quickly rushed out of the house, saw Liu Yanmei turn to the unconscious girl, hurriedly walked towards Liu Yanmei, and hit Liu Yanmei's leg from behind, but Liu Yanmei did not react, as if he did not perceive it, and continued to walk towards the girl.
Wang Lin had no choice, he rushed through Liu Yanmei, blocked the poor girl behind him, and used all his strength to hit Liu Yanmei's head with a stick, but Liu Yanmei was still indifferent, and even suddenly a carp stiffened, and the weird body bounced up, and opened a big mouth full of blood, and bit Wang Lin's neck.
"Ah!" a scream sounded from behind Wang Lin, and the poor girl who had just woken up opened her eyes tiredly, and then let out a scream in fright by this terrible sight, and then fainted again.
Wang Lin had to retreat, and at the last moment, turning sideways slightly, Liu Yanmei's head fell on Wang Lin's shoulder, Wang Lin felt a sharp pain, and his arm was sore. And when Liu Yanmei saw that the blow was not successful, he shook it twice, then bounced up again, and attacked Wang Lin again.
When Wang Lin was anxious, a voice faintly came from the grass not far away: "Child, hit the snake and hit seven inches." ”
Wang Lin understood, fortunately, he had caught snakes to eat in Xiushui Town before, so he regarded Liu Yanmei as a snake, and estimated that the position of seven inches was a stick.
Liu Yanmei screamed miserably, then moved his body strangely, changed his target, and attacked the girl who was unconscious again, and Wang Lin, who had already retreated backwards, blocked the girl behind him again, and with a flick of the wooden stick, he slashed at Liu Yanmei's seven inches.
Liu Yanmei's face turned from white to blood red, and then turned black, and he was planted on the ground and did not move, Wang Lin looked at him cautiously, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't think that Liu Yanmei seemed to be a corpse, and suddenly burst out again, and attacked Wang Lin.
Wang Lin held a wooden stick across his chest, guarding against death.
At this moment, he heard a "whoosh", and then Wang Lin was dusty in front of him, and he faintly saw a figure standing in Liu Yanmei's position.
"Evil animal! You still want to harm people, in the past five years, you have killed three children every three months, and it is not a pity to die!" The bell-like voice shocked the audience.
Listening to this voice, Wang Lin already knew who this big man was, and thought that this was the noble man who the old Taoist said.
"The grass people meet Marshal Cao," Wang Lin saluted.
"Well, this evil beast is the one who has been murdering for many years, and his Taoism is similar to that of my Taishou apprentice, so he hasn't caught it for many years. Today I will remove the evil of the people. Take that girl back to Broken Water City quickly, and leave this evil beast to me. The smoke and dust dissipated, and Cao Yuanpeng stepped on Liu Yanmei and said. And Liu Yanmei struggled hard but couldn't get out, his face was hideous, and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"But my lord, I haven't found the girl from last night, and I can't leave. Wang Lin said insistently.
Cao Yuanpeng looked at the girl and said directly to Wang Lin: "Last night, your friend successfully changed her life for this girl, so that the girl grew up a lot, and the girl lying on the ground now is her." “
Wang Lin was dumbfounded, and then thought about the appearance of the unconscious girl and the girl last night, and he also understood, so he saluted Cao Yuanpeng again, picked up the girl, and walked towards the beggar.
"Uncle, how are you? Hold on, I'll take you into the city. Wang Lin asked anxiously at the beggar.
The beggar was silent, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then carefully tried his snort with his hand.
It's out of gas, and it's obviously just a flashback.
Wang Lin was silent, slowly put down the girl, and knelt down in front of the beggar.
"You saved my life and this girl's life in a pinch, reminding me to hit a snake and hit seven inches, I don't know your name, I don't know where you came from, and if you have any family. But I can't let you leave this world so casually. Saying that, Wang Lin kowtowed to the beggar nine times, and then said: "You taught me and saved me, that is my master." I will bury you well, Master. ”
Cao Yuanpeng looked at Wang Lin, and then at the dead beggar, his eyes were complex and profound, and he said: "The living are important, time is pressing, you take this girl back first, and I will help you bring your master's body back to the city after I have packed up this evil animal." ”
Wang Lin stood up and bowed to Cao Yuanpeng again, "The grass people sincerely thank you, if you have something to do in the future, please feel free to drive." With that, he picked up the girl and ran to the city of Broken Water.
When Wang Lin's figure was so far away that he disappeared, Cao Yuanpeng looked at Liu Yanmei under his feet, and said to the void: "After fighting for so long, the number of molts this guy has saved over the years should be at the limit, right?"
"Well, he received twenty-eight strokes of death, I gave him a knife the night before, and just now the child hit him again, exactly thirty times, three thousand years, a hundred years to accumulate a technique of escape and molting, just completely used up. Now give him another blow, and this heaven and earth spirit beast will completely disappear. As he spoke, the figure of the old Taoist pure yoko appeared.
Chunyangzi walked towards Liu Yanmei, held a golden knife in his hand, and slashed at Liu Yanmei. Before the knife arrives, the knife qi comes first.
Liu Yanmei, who was covered in bruises, was directly overwhelmed by this momentum and completely lost consciousness and fell into boundless darkness.
Cao Yuanpeng looked at Liu Yanmei at his feet, and his face sneered, "I'm scared, I didn't plant." ”
The old Taoist also put away the big knife, put on a lewd expression again, rubbed his hands, and shouted jealously at the beggar corpse lying on the ground not far away: "Grandma's, such a good apprentice has been taken in by you, it really makes me feel distressed! Hurry up, the old shameless one is going to share the spoils!"
