At the east end of Qingchuan Guan Town, the butcher shop on the corner of the street has not opened until the afternoon, and the shopkeeper of the Guan Inn has come several times, wanting to order fresh meat, but this time it is still a disappointed return.

Since coming to the town, in the past ten years, this bearded butcher has always disappeared for a few days in a year, and I don't know how long this time will disappear.

After the shopkeeper knocked on the door to no avail, he thought about which store in the town to buy in the next few days. Although I can't get along with Butcher Hu on weekdays, I also understand that doing business with this kind of person is the same as his timid and quiet character, which gives people a sense of calm and reliability, not to mention that there are so many oil and water purchasers......

On a spring afternoon, the sun is moving west very quickly when it arrives. The sky was clear and clear, there were no clouds and no wind, but at this time, a green lightning pierced the sky, and a spring thunder suddenly sounded in the east of the town.

The cyan electric light passed through the corner of his eye, and the deafening thunderbolt fell to the ground, and the air suddenly filled the air with the smell of wildfire.

The shopkeeper was full of excitement, could it be that God couldn't stand it and scooped up so much oil and water behind his boss's back?

The electric light and the explosion burst into the senses almost at the same time, in no particular order, and the spring thunder should be very close. The shopkeeper was dumbfounded for a moment, and the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe felt numb all over his body, but he looked behind him with a curious gaze.

He was stunned to find that the first spring thunder had pierced the roof of a private house behind him, blasting a hole four feet square. And the private house was located behind the butcher's shop, which was the house of the butcher.

The shopkeeper did not have the courage to run in to take a look at the act of death, and the people at the bottom of the dynasty had not seen the cultivation scenery of the immortals against the wind and thunder, and they had always been in awe of this mysterious natural phenomenon. muttered that it must be that the butcher did something bad and complained about it, and the shopkeeper ran away from the scene where God showed his might.

The rubble in the house that was pierced by the spring thunder was bright and dusty, and there seemed to be a goddess descending from the sky in the hazy sky.

The two brothers of the Zhang family looked at the gradually clear figure in shock, and couldn't help but shout respectfully: "Master Mother!"

Remembering that the two brothers hadn't done anything yet, but they had wasted a rare thousand-mile locator, they couldn't help lying on the ground in shame, not daring to look at the figure of the housemother gradually approaching.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes were slightly blushing, his clear gaze swept over the injured legs and broken hands of the two brothers, and with a wave of his sleeves, he removed the prohibition placed on the two by Butcher Hu, and asked in a cold voice: "What's the situation?" ”

After Zhang Zishan stood up with his brother who injured his thigh for no reason, he hurriedly said respectfully: "This town is not big, but it is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the person who locked us up here looks like he is in his fifties, and he is the owner of the butcher shop in front, and his strength is ...... It's not clear yet. ”

"You didn't even test the strength of the other party, so you were trapped here?"

Ling Qingzhu's clear eyebrows were raised, and his tone was tinged with anger.

She put the question aside for a moment and asked what she was most concerned about: "Have you waited until Wei Rui?"

"Yes, Mistress. Zhang Zizhen nodded and said: "At noon yesterday, Miss's caravan passed through Qingchuan Pass, and my brother and I were about to go to meet Miss They, but the result was ......."

"What is the result?" The room seemed to have entered a cold winter from warm spring, and Ling Qingzhu asked in a cold voice, "Before I came, I used a secret method to find out that Wei Rui was not worried about her life, was she captured by the person who trapped you?"

"No, no. Zhang Zizhen hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My majesty was trapped here, and I don't know what happened to the young lady, but there is a master in such a town, and my brother and I are very scared...... Something happened to the young lady. ”

"Master?" Ling Qingzhu smiled indifferently and said coldly, "Is that the butcher shop owner?"

Zhang Zishan lowered his head and hesitated: "There are two people, I was defeated by a sword cultivator, and my brother was defeated by that butcher." But we told us where we came from, and I thought that the butcher didn't dare to do anything to the young lady. ”

"Hmph! It's really a waste, it has lowered the strength of the Xishan Lin family. Ling Qingzhu waved his sleeves and gave them two pills, "After eating this, the injury can be stopped to the maximum." ”

"Thank you, Mistress! Thank you, Mistress!" the two brothers swallowed with great gratitude.

"After coming out for a few days, you should know the route of the caravan, right?"

Zhang Zizhen heard the impatience in his words, if he hadn't even figured this out, he would have to apologize for his crimes, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Miss, if they didn't rest at the Honglu Inn in the town, they should enter the Xinghang Great Forest at this time." ”

"Well, time is pressing, you lead the way. Ling Qingzhu's head was slightly raised, and the hole in the roof was like a patio, and the green smoke left by the spring thunder outside the patio faded away.

As soon as the two brothers pinched the thousand-mile locator charm, she was still in Jinguan City, and after sensing the direction, she immediately took off into the air and walked away, but in half an hour, a distance of two or three hundred kilometers, under her full body, it was just a wisp of green smoke that was rapidly retreating from the sky.

This is already a broken rule. Although this rule was originally a rule set by the ten major joint cultivation sects and the secular dynasty, it was always a little troublesome, and I am afraid that it would not be long before those old things who were secretly living in the hibiscus royal family would notice it.

......

......

The starry forest is an area where perched birds are far away.

Butcher Hu casually pestled the wooden stick to his side with one hand, and after hearing Mu Qing's question, he smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "I heard that your kid also practiced the Shura Technique before, why did he become a poisonous cultivator after being promoted?"

When Butcher Hu said this, he showed his identity.

Yue Jiu came to Mu Qing's side with a sword and said in a cold voice, "This should be a bureau set up by the Hidden Valley Assassins. ”

Mu Qingxing's eyes were slightly furrowed, and he had been paying attention to Butcher Hu's movements, nodded and said softly: "If I kill you, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see Senior Sister, if I don't have that letter, I'm afraid that no matter what the outcome is, whether you die or I die, their purpose will be achieved." ”

"But what is the ultimate goal of this?" Mu Qing whispered in confusion, and the shadow in his heart deepened.

Yue Jiu's heart warmed when she heard Mu Qing mention the letter. In the past few years of decadence, he has not been thinking about how to get out of the muddy whirlpool of the Hidden Valley, and since he had this idea, he has a different view of many arrangements in the Hidden Valley.

He had long understood that many of Hidden Valley's methods were actually aimed at the suppression and control of his own family, and he couldn't help laughing at himself: "They are just doing this to sow discord and co-opt suppression, probably someone wants to use this matter to suppress the pharmacist's lineage, after all, ...... Wanhua Valley and the Medicine Master are different after all. ”

Although Mu Qing and Yuejiu spoke in a very small voice, they did not deliberately hide it.

Butcher Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, his ordinary old face was not vivid, and the conversation between the two young juniors did not cast a big stone in his heart lake.

As early as the first few years after the death of his wife and daughter, the face of Hu Butcher had no expression, but unlike the face that was blown beyond recognition by the miserable wind and frost, the pure killing Dao intent left when the Dao heart was broken has become a seed full of obsession, and after being planted on the shore of the heart lake, there are already many vivid meanings, that is doubt, that is revenge.

Hidden Valley was able to find him so quickly, proving that a gaze fell on him. He has always been very patient among the Assassins. In the past ten years, he has been quietly collecting clues by taking advantage of the brief time when he disappeared from the mission. Now that the clues are gradually clear, the revenge and killing intent that has been suppressed in his heart has gradually formed a devouring vortex in his heart.

He listened to Mu Qing and Yuejiu's words gradually stop, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the assassins from the Hidden Valley have more or less experienced this, right?

"Are you finished?" Butcher Hu looked at Mu Qing and Yue Jiu, "Have the young juniors in the Hidden Valley been so disrespectful to their seniors in the past few years? ”

The crimson true qi rose again, and the coercion and momentum of Yipin were completely released, and Butcher Hu didn't intend to let the two little guys talk like this.

Yue Jiu frowned, her heart was gloomy, and she lowered her voice to the extreme and said: "You take them to go first, you will fall into such a situation today, I am sorry for you, if you meet Ah Chu in the future, please wait for me to apologize." ”

Mu Qing sneered lightly and jokingly said: "You can't even win against me, if you want me to leave, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Besides, if you want to apologize, go and apologize in front of your senior sister, I am not an outer disciple of Wanhua Valley, how can I go to find my senior sister." ”

"Then you call Senior Sister?"

"My sister is the junior sister of Senior Sister Ning Chu, can't I shout with my sister?"

The conversation between the two was a bit nonsensical, but at the same time, they rushed towards Butcher Hu with all their true qi.

"Give me an opportunity, I have to send my true qi into him. In the whistling air, Mu Qing's voice was pulled intermittently by the sound of the wind, but this was the only way Mu Qing could think of.

"Boom-"

The cyan color gradually thickened like jasper jade, and the crimson gradually deepened like deep-sea coral, and the two huge true air masses collided together.

The light wave illuminated the entire secluded forest in an instant, and after the collision of the two groups of true qi in blue and red, it was as silent as a snow falling into a stream, but after Mu Qing and Butcher Hu were close to half a step, it was as fierce as boiling oil and snow thorns.

The wooden stick and the short sword did not collide together at all under the wrapping of true qi, but the tip of the short sword began to have small cracks, and the wooden stick was even shortened by an inch.

Yue Jiu stopped a few steps behind Mu Qing, unable to be distracted at all and blend into the situation where the building was about to collapse.

He stood upright with his oblique sword, his sword eyes slightly twitched, and at this moment he finally sank into the realm of sword heart enlightenment. I saw that the dense forest, which was originally illuminated by two balls of true qi, dimmed a little after a moment, and a round of jade-colored missing moon suddenly fell on the sword head.

"Boom-" The two balls of true qi surrounded and entangled and spread out in all directions, and the waves were bursting, blowing the clothes of several people, and the surrounding branches and leaves were scattered.

After all, Mu Qing's control and use of true qi was too superficial, not as much as the Hu butcher of Yipin, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Mu Qing's mouth, and his whole person was like a boat that had been breaking the waves and crashed into the reef in the distance with the curling waves.

"This is the moment!"

Yue Jiu opened his eyes with sword intent, he didn't have time to care about Mu Qing's injury, took a step forward, pushed the sword with his body, the sword led the body to urge, and slashed forward obliquely, the tip of the Yuehua sword directly drew a heart-warming arc, and it reached the chest cavity where Hu Butcher had not had time to recover when he inhaled violently.

"Bang-" The sound of swords and sticks clashing again.

"Hmph!" Hu Butcher didn't think that the previous blow would directly consume his true qi of Zhou Tian's circulation, at this time, half of the true qi recovered, and when the other Zhou Tian's true qi was about to be full, he was found by Yue Jiu to find a vacancy where the qi was not full, and he could only mention the true meaning of the avenue that had been covered with dust for a long time, and the wooden stick in his hand seemed to have become a judge pen that could determine the life and death of a person, and drew a piece from top to bottom from right to left.

The collision of the avenue was silent and lonely, the wooden stick had many dense cracks, and the lack of moon at the head of the sword was even more cracked, which had already spelled the root of the avenue.

This move "fishing for the moon under the water" can be said to be the most complete move so far in the ninth month, the sword intent is full, and the lack of the moon is like jade. But in the face of the wooden stick that was like being stained with blood, it was still a bit off the true intention, and after the missing moon hit the blood-rich Shura true intention, the crack slowly became larger, but after a few blinks, the missing moon shattered, and the ninth moon flew out directly.

Fortunately, Butcher Hu's move was not full of true qi, and although it hurt Yue Jiu's Missing Moon Sword Dao, it failed to kill him directly.

"Boom-boom-"

At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from behind, Yue Jiu flew upside down in the air with his sword, feeling the familiar true qi that quickly stepped forward, his heart was relieved, and he shouted at the streamer that dangled from his shoulder: "It's your turn!"

One move is not settled, and another move is raised.

There seemed to be a spring thunder in the secluded forest, and the swords of the wood and green people were one, as fast as a cyan streamer, and stabbed forward.
