Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 129: The Ghost Comes
The sun hangs in the sky, and the white clouds are thin.
If someone looks up at the sky at this time, they may be able to see that above the clouds, there are immortals in the sky, and a sword goes north.
The mountains and rivers all fell behind him, and the white sword qi gathered in front of him into an arc, so even if the wind in his ears was like thunder and whistling, it only blew his robe lightly and his beard moved slightly.
Ji Xiao has seen a lot of the sun and moon hanging upside down and the mountains and rivers being thrown behind, and he has long lost the excitement when he first took off the sword.
He looked down at the earth at his feet with a calm face, and when the outline of the most conspicuous city, the size of a fan, appeared, his feet were slightly heavy, and the tip of his sword was slightly slanted, and he stabbed obliquely towards the earth.
The sky above the state capital city cannot be arbitrarily sword-resisting, this is the rule of the imperial dynasty, and the lawmakers naturally have no intention of breaking it.
On the side of the avenue a few hundred zhang away from the south gate, Ji Xiao gathered his momentum, gathered his robe, and bowed his head and walked towards the city gate.
His face was a little tired, and he was still thinking about the affairs of Shu Lecheng, and in his sight, the smooth official road paved with bluestone swept backwards with his footsteps, and a black robe suddenly appeared on the ground.
Someone is in the way?
Ji Xiao was vigilant in his heart, but before he could raise his head, the voices in his ears were far away, and his body was like sea water pouring in.
Mo Ke's incomparable feeling was like the pressure of the iceberg throne, and the cold and piercing silk Dao meaning was like an ice pick, burrowing into Ji Xiao's body in an instant, freezing the true qi he had just aroused.
"This is the ...... of the Dao Domain"
Ji Xiao stiffened, and his heart was horrified, just the emanation of the Dao domain could make him, who had been a sword cultivator for many years in the early stage of transcendence, not even have the slightest room for resistance.
The other party should not be in the realm of transcendence, Ji Xiao began to live the old and new enemies of the dynasty in his heart for the first time.
"Your mind is too mixed, don't struggle and move......"
Ji Xiao's strength was cold, and he felt that the tip of a sword made of ice picks was against his neck, obviously the black robe that fell to the ground was still on the ground in front of him, but the voice sounded behind him.
"Don't look up, I'll let you die. ”
The cold, illusory, and unpredictable voice came out of the black robe this time, and Ji Xiao felt a little relieved in his heart, "Senior, may I ask." ”
"Several major events that have happened in Jinguancheng recently have been explained clearly one by one. ”
Ji Xiao's heart tightened, no wonder the other party would find him, he said it cautiously while saying bad luck in his heart.
"The eldest lady of the Liu family in Jinguancheng, Liu Weirui, is the granddaughter of the Xishan Lin family, this is also a secret that I only learned a few days ago, the seniors want to know this, right?" Ji Xiao cautiously tentatively probed.
The black-robed mysterious man was noncommittal, his illusory voice was more real, and he said with a joke: "Is the worship of your hibiscus royal family so useless now?
Ji Xiao's eyes were faintly bright, knowing the true intention of the other party, thinking that he was in charge of tracking down the female sword cultivator named Ye Yun, and now he didn't know whether the black-robed man was friend or foe, he became more and more cautious: "That woman's sword cultivator's pseudonym is Ye Yun, but she is a genuine transcendent early stage sword cultivator. ”
"Sword cultivation......" The black-robed man's voice was inaudible, with a hint of unspeakable loneliness.
"She killed the three of you and a piece of garbage, did you come to Jinguan City to clean up the mess to earn back face for your little emperor?"
Ji Xiao looked at the black robe on the ground, and said after deliberation: "It's just a show, if you want to intercept and kill an extraordinary early stage sword cultivator, with my own strength, it is actually very reluctant, and I won't be so desperate in the future." ”
The black-robed man smiled: "You are self-aware, so have you traced any useful clues?"
Ji Xiao said helplessly: "It's just a rush to live, I have only come to Jinguancheng for a short time, but I just understand the whole picture of the matter, and I haven't started to investigate yet, if the seniors want to stop......"
The black-robed man interrupted him coldly, "Why do you want to stop?"
"Uh......" Ji Xiao's voice was suffocated, and he hurriedly promised: "I will try my best to find clues in the next place." ”
"What's going on with the Tantai family?" the black-robed man asked coldly.
"Huh?" Ji Xiao looked at a loss, and the black-robed man snorted coldly: "Yutai Feiji has no hidden breath, didn't you go over a trip? ”
Ji Xiao was pricked by a needle, if the other party came for a transcendent early stage female sword cultivator, Ji Xiao still felt that he could properly maneuver, then if he really rose to this level, no matter who had an accident, he would be indispensable if he settled the account afterwards.
Ji Xiao's persistence and silence didn't last a few breaths, the black-robed man snorted softly, but Ji Xiao responded by vomiting blood.
The black-robed man said indifferently: "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, do you know that your talent is not good, and you are in a hurry to reincarnate and re-cultivate?"
"If not, don't hide it anymore, I won't say anything about today, will you say it?"
Ji Xiao sighed in his heart, and said truthfully: "Mr. Feiji of the Shantai family is here to find the young lady of his family, and he should be the daughter of the head of the Shantai family." ”
"Oh?" said something inexplicable in the black-robed man's voice, "Did you find it?"
"Nope. ”
"Where's that?"
"Mr. Feiji should be in Qingchuan Guan Town by now. ”
The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "I didn't mean him. ”
Ji Xiao breathed for a while, and said hoarsely: "That young lady should be with the Liu family's caravan, in the Xinghui Great Forest in front of Qingchuan Pass, and she will probably arrive at Qingchuan Pass at noon tomorrow." ”
The man in black smiled slightly: "Yes, it is very detailed." You also know that if today's events are exposed, you will surely die. ”
Ji Xiao hurriedly lowered his gaze, looked at his toes and said, "The juniors haven't seen the seniors today." ”
"Good. The sound was still there, like an iceberg of pressure and imprisonment, but it disappeared like snow and boiling oil.
There was no black robe on the ground in front of him, Ji Xiao's face was calm, and he walked a few steps before raising his head, and suddenly found that he had walked in front of the city gate.
But he was still a hundred zhang away from the city gate, Ji Xiao's eyes twitched twice, he reached out and touched the back of the nest, lowered his head and sank his face and quickly entered the city.
......
......
"Why isn't Madame resting?" Mu Qing threw a piece of new firewood into the fire, although the green smoke was a little blind, but when the fragrance of resin soaked in the night, it could drive away the reptiles of the summer night.
"Rosin wood?" Wang Yeqing picked up a piece of wood and threw it in, and said with a smile: "This is a good habit." There are a lot of poisonous insects in the Tiannan Marsh forest, and at that time, if I wanted to stay in the wild, I would also check to see if there were any incense plants around to repel poisonous insects. ”
Mu Qing nodded and sighed: "I have only been arrested for two years, and I always felt that the poisonous insects and beasts in the Tiannan Marsh Forest and the swamp were terrible, but then I gradually got used to it, and I found out that ......"
"It's people who are more terrifying, right?" Wang Yeqing had already begun to meditate cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Mu Qingxing's eyes were slightly empty, looking at the forest behind him, the forest in the night, the tree cover was dense and like the earth, and the boundary between it and the earth under his feet was blurred, which was even more ghostly, but how could it compare to people's hearts?
Mu Qing didn't want to reminisce about the past, so he looked at Wang Yeqing on the side and said, "Senior, you have become an assassin on the heavenly list, you can't retire, right?"
Wang Yeqing opened his eyes and said softly, "Why do you ask that?"
"Uh......" Mu Qing scratched his brows, looked in the direction of Qingchuan Pass, and said slowly: "I also know a senior, who is also an assassin on the heavenly list. ”
Wang Yeqing's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked much softer, "You can't be talking about Hu Butcher, right?"
"Did the seniors guess it?"
Wang Yeqing said indifferently: "You occasionally mean something, but what you mean is should be comparing me with someone you know." ”
"Have you seen him in the town of Qingchuan Pass?" she followed Mu Qing's gaze.
Mu Qing didn't expect that the other party would be able to guess Butcher Hu with just a few words, so he sincerely admired it in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Do your predecessors have conflicts and old grudges with him?"
Wang Yeqing pursed his lips and asked, "What if there is?"
Mu Qing was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I think my predecessors also have the heart of retreat, and I should be able to talk to Senior Hu." ”
"However, if there is an old grudge, the younger generation will not persuade anything. ”
Wang Yeqing was a little strange and said, "Don't you have a position?"
Mu Qing replied seriously: "If you are not a person in the bureau, you don't have to worry about right and wrong." Of course, if the seniors can talk about the old grievances, I will naturally try my best to solve them for you. ”
"You're upright. Wang Yeqing blinked his eyes and reminded: "Xiu Wei should have told you, I want to rest in Qingchuan Pass for half a day and visit an old man." ”
Old friend......
Mu Qing was overjoyed in his heart, and let go: "Then the seniors can join us, and we will get out of the hidden valley together." ”
Wang Yeqing looked at Mu Qing with a strange expression, shook his head and said, "It's better to sleep, there is no moon tonight, and it is not suitable for cultivation." ”
She stood up and walked to the carriage not far away, and Mu Qing saw her off behind with an embarrassed expression.
Liu Yueshan was also in the carriage, and Mu Qing said, "Will the four people be too crowded, or I'll ask someone to set up a tent." ”
Wang Yeqing walked in front, shook his head and said: "It's early summer, not to mention many reptiles at night, there is still moisture, your sister Yueshan is now weak, what else do you do?"
Mu Qing confessed: "Then it's troublesome for Madame." ”
"The carriage is huge, and four people are not crowded. As they spoke, they also came to the frame.
Wang Xiuwei heard Wang Yeqing's voice, opened the curtain of the car at this time, and poked out a fair and beautiful face, and the girl from Taijing also got out of her head from under the gap in her squeaky nest, and the big eyes on her beautiful little face blinked, looking at the two people outside the car.
"Sister Yueshan should be asleep. Mu Qing guessed in his heart, smiled, and looked away, ready to say goodbye, but suddenly raised his head, his eyes were round, his scalp was numb, the back of his neck and lumbar spine trembled, and he threw himself into the carriage with all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
All this happened too much, and Mu Qing's wide eyes could still see the smile on the corner of the two Shu's mouths and the doubt in their eyes, but it was too late in a hurry......
I saw that not far behind the carriage, in the forest that Mu Qing thought was a little ghostly, a person shrouded in black robes quietly stood on the branches, his black robe naturally drooped, without a trace of swing, dissolved in the deep darkness, like a messenger from hell and the underworld.
Mu Qing didn't see any movement from him at all, but a deep cold attack that had grown in the deep darkness and could not be resisted had already shot towards the carriage.
