The streets of Baiyue County were bustling with traffic, Xiao Yueming swept over the faces that were weathered but full of happiness, and the corners of his mouth did not mind raising slightly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a portrait posted next to the shop attracted Xiao Yueming's attention, and she walked slowly to the portrait, only to see that this was a Zhang wanted notice, and the wanted notice was drawn on a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, and it was written below:

This person is Wu Xiong, the owner of Baixiu Pavilion, who murdered Liu Huan, a salt merchant, to his tragic death, heinous, and is now wanted by the government, and those who inform his whereabouts will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and those who are arrested will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver.

On June 22, the 38th year of Qianlong, the county guard of Baiyue County issued a haircut.

Secretly groaning, this kind of wanted warrant can be said to be very numerous in Baiyue County, what Jiangyang thief, flower picking saint, everything, but along the way, only the portrait of this person has been posted all over the streets and alleys, and this Wu Xiong's wanted warrant can be seen in every corner, which attracted Xiao Yueming's attention.

Su Lan looked at Xiao Yueming's contemplative expression, then looked at the wanted notice and explained:

"Brother Xiao didn't hear, just three days ago in the night, in front of the Baixiu Pavilion opened by Wu Xiong, something big happened, I heard that people said, I saw a flickering blue beast descending to earth, I did hear a loud noise that night, but the Yunlin Inn was too far away from this Baixiu Pavilion, so I didn't go to check, didn't Brother Xiao notice?"

Slowly turning his head, his eyes moved away from the wanted warrant, and his eyes inadvertently met Su Lan's beautiful eyes flashing with doubts, Xiao Yueming did not answer, as a second-rate martial artist, and even more with the sword intent cultivation of the realm of the unity of heaven and man, how could he not notice it, that night Xiao Yueming was comprehending the sword move of the twelve styles of cutting leaves, and felt a faint, palpitating aura surrounded the surroundings, and when he pushed the window to look, he saw a flickering black light across the night sky, which was the vision sent by Quan Anwu's Black Yao Divine Palm, but Xiao Yueming suppressed the curiosity in his heart and did not go to check。

Looking at Su Lan's jewel-like eyes, along with the pearls, which had lost their color in front of her, Xiao Yueming couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly removed her direct gaze and nodded slowly:

"See, I've been concentrating on cultivation for the past few days, and I haven't left the inn, but Brother Mazi mentioned this matter to me, how can there be a rumored divine beast in the world, even if there is, it will not appear in a place like Baixiu Pavilion, which is a place of black smoke and miasma, all kinds of visions that night are made by the hands of martial artists, looking at the vigorous atmosphere, only first-class martial artists can have such amazing power. ”

"The matter of the first-class master, I still don't want to participate rashly, the passenger ship fights, and fortunately, the old man has sacrificed himself to drag the killer, otherwise with my own strength, in his hands, I am afraid that I will end this life and reincarnate again if I can't withstand three moves." ”

Hearing this, Su Lan also quite agreed, nodding frequently, she was born in a big sect like Huaqingchi since she was a child, she naturally saw many elders in the sect, and Su Lan was also afraid and afraid of these elders, knowing how amazing the power of a first-class master was.

Thinking of Huaqingchi, Su Lan's beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of worry:

"I've been out of Huaqingchi for four months, they must have found out that I disappeared, and they will definitely send someone to look for me, if they catch me back, it is a trivial matter to be punished, I'm afraid I'm Su Lan, I won't have a chance to go down the mountain in this life......"

Thinking of Er Mazi's entrustment, Xiao Yueming then said:

"Brother Su, Brother Mazi wants to go with us to the rivers and lakes, but his mother is very worried about Brother Mazi's safety, after returning from the county guard's mansion, go with me to Brother Mazi's house to see the old man, okay?"

Su Lan looked slightly stunned and didn't speak, and now the boring days in Huaqing Pool flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but be scared in her heart.

"Brother Su, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yueming stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Su Lan's eyes, and Su Lan came to his senses:

"Huh?"

"Ah, okay, okay, Brother Mazi is also my brother of Su Rong, and it is also appropriate to visit his mother. ”

Xiao Yueming looked at Su Lan who looked a little flustered in surprise, and then shook her head slightly, not knowing what the other party was thinking.

In front of the Baiyue County Guard's Mansion, Xiao Yueming and Su Lan followed the housekeeper who had been waiting here for a long time, and walked into the County Guard's Mansion together.

The county guard mansion is not a loss to the mansion of the lord of a county, than the Yunlin inn, which is known as the most upscale in Baiyue County, I don't know how prosperous it is, blue bricks and blue tiles, green water and red walls, flowers in the garden, blooming together, the fragrance is pervasive, a rather elegant rockery fish pond, located in this huge county guard mansion, at a glance, all you see is countless yellow and white things.

Xiao Yueming was born in Xiao Mansion, Xiao Li, as the deputy leader of the Daomen, is definitely a top wealthy nobleman, so he naturally turns a blind eye to these flashies, Su Lan is in a big sect like Huaqingchi, and his vision is also extremely high, although the county guard mansion is not bad, but in the eyes of the two, it is not very unusual.

The housekeeper of the county guard, surnamed Zhang Mingtong, is an old man who is over the age of sixties, this old man is the old man of the Hongtian family house, since Hongtian entered the official career, he sent someone to pick up this person from his hometown, and he can be regarded as the most trusted person of Hongtian.

Zhang Tongtong was already old, slightly hunched over, and his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, seeing that the faces of the two people beside him were as usual, ignoring the gorgeous scenery around him, Zhang Tong also sighed secretly:

"It is worthy of being a guest that the lord attaches great importance to, and his knowledge and bearing are really extraordinary. ”

The county guard mansion occupies a huge area, and the three of them walked through the garden with a rockery and a fish pond before entering the main hall.

As soon as you enter the main hall, two pots of coral trees placed on both sides of the gate come into view, the coral trees are brightly colored, three feet high, corals grow in the deep sea, it is extremely difficult to pick, like such a tall coral tree, it is also extremely rare and precious.

The hall as a whole is decorated with mahogany, it looks noble but elegant, in the main hall, everyone is already waiting here, Hongtian and Dongyuan are sitting side by side, and the pale Qianfeng Yu and the old strings are sitting in the second seat.

Seeing Xiao Yueming and Su Lan walking into the main hall, everyone got up one after another, and Hong Leaned took the brunt and walked towards Xiao Yueming.

The three of them greeted each other, and their faces were like spring flowers, and their smiles were full:

"Xiao Gongzi, Su Gongzi, I think you also know about what happened recently, you really can't get out, no, I just got free, so I invited the two of you to come to the county guard mansion as guests, I hope you don't blame the old man." ”

Xiao Yueming also saluted and echoed:

"Hong Junshou is in trouble, and now the situation is tense, and the county guard naturally has a lot of things to do himself, so how can he blame him. ”

"Good, good. ”

Hongjun Shou smiled all over his face, and then pointed to Dongyuan beside him, and introduced to the two:

"This is the eldest son of the old man, Dongyuan, is the most promising son of the old man, you are both young people, and you must communicate more. ”

After Hongtian finished speaking, Dongyuan then saluted:

"I've seen Brother Xiao, Brother Su. ”

Dongyuan is dressed in white and fluttering, with the unique elegance and easy-going atmosphere of a scholar.

"I've seen Brother Dongyuan. ”

Xiao Yueming and Su Lan also saluted.

This Dongyuan seems to be weak and a little weak, but Xiao Yueming noticed that this person's breath was stable and his steps were heavy, obviously a person who practiced martial arts.

Walking slowly to the main hall, I saw Qianfengyu, who was pale and had a weak breath, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yueming.

Seeing this, Xiao Yueming hurriedly helped Qianfengyu up, and then said in a somewhat surprised tone:

"Brother Fengyu, what do you mean by this?"

Qian Fengyu's bloodless face was resolute, and he was seen clenching his fists and his tone was heavy:

"Thank you Brother Xiao for risking his life to come to the rescue, if it weren't for Brother Xiao coming in time, the lives of the three of us would definitely not be saved, I am a coarse person, not good at words, but Brother Xiao's help, I will remember it in my heart, engraved into the bone marrow, and never forget, if Brother Xiao needs my cheap life in the future, I can take it at any time, no complaints!"

At this time, Elder Xian also stepped forward, and after the blood retrograde, although he saved his life, he had lost all his internal strength and became a waste.

Seeing that the old man's complexion was decaying, as if he had aged ten years in three days, the exposed skin on his face and neck had lost its luster and elasticity, and was covered with deep wrinkles, like dry bean skin.

The old string's voice was much weaker and hoarse:

"Xiao Gongzi, this kindness is very great, the old decay has nothing to repay, now the old decay is a wasted person, and he doesn't like to collect those precious treasures, and now he has nothing else, only this will be given to Xiao Gongzi. ”

Xian Lao bowed his back, like an ordinary old man, took out a long strip of cloth bag from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Xiao Yueming tremblingly.

Grasp the cloth bag with both hands, and then slowly open it, the cloth bag is a scroll, this scroll is only less than half an inch long, very small, the whole body is crystal clear light green, it looks quite extraordinary.

Xiao Yueming secretly exerted himself with both hands, but he couldn't open the scroll, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, you know, with Xiao Yueming's strength, it was okay to shatter a hundred catties of rocks with one hand, and it was like this, Xiao Yueming used all his strength, not only failed to open the scroll, but also failed to hurt it in the slightest.

Seeing this, Elder Xian opened his mouth to explain:

"This thing is when the old man was young, he traveled to the dangerous realm, when he was only twenty years old, he accidentally strayed into a dangerous situation, and after life and death, he found the bones of a predecessor, and it was here that he found the exercises that the old man is practicing now, and achieved his current reputation. ”

"The cave is empty, there is only a wooden bookshelf, the bookshelf is lined with the lifelong learning of the senior, the top of this bookshelf, is the old decay is now majoring in the exercises, exquisite undefeated golden body, this is also the opportunity to enter the first-class realm, the old decay originally thought that the exquisite undefeated golden body, is the most precious treasure in this cave, but fortunately, it is fine, there is a secret grid hidden under the secret book, in the dark grid, there is this green scroll. ”

Speaking of this, Elder Xian couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"The top exercises are in front of me, and under the joy, I think that few people can endure the joy, so as to discover the secret grid under the secret book, the owner of this scroll, and he does not want to let this scroll be dusted with his own death, it seems that he wants to find someone who is destined. ”

"The old man has been holding the scroll for decades, and he has tried all the methods he can think of, but he still can't open this scroll, Xiao Gongzi has cultivated to perfection at a young age, and I have to admit that you are the most rebellious person that the old man has seen, Xiao Gongzi has great luck, and he may be able to solve the mystery of this scroll. ”
