Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to the Dust Chapter 22 Unintentional Cicada Hunting
The night of Beimu City was floating, and the noise beyond the past made it impossible to sink.
Ye Wei has learned a lesson, and he doesn't dare to say goodbye.
Out of Tianbao Pavilion, it was already evening after the day's auction, and the most prosperous and widest street in Beimu City was full of monks who had just left, but Yang Lingling's figure had long since disappeared.
All the way to the Yang family's house, it was much more deserted, Ye Ku did not plan to go to the main gate, but found a hidden place to climb over the wall and enter.
The small courtyard in front of him was somewhat familiar, and it happened to be the only courtyard when he was swallowed by a big snake and fell into the Yang family. The Yang family is just a small family, and it is not difficult to sneak in with Ye Kuzhi's ability to hide from everyone in the Yang family. Following his memory, he went all the way to Yang Lingling's courtyard, and on the way passed by the miscellaneous courtyard where the guards lived, and the people in it were still those people, and they were no different.
In Yang Lingling's yard, everything is furnished as usual, the stone tables and stone benches are still as he remembers, two or three maids are sitting in the courtyard, and they are also old people before, it seems that Yang Lingling has not come back yet.
"Stand down. ”
Ye Ku heard that Yang Lingling had retreated from the rest of the maids, leaving only Xing'er alone.
He didn't want to do dark things, but wanted to ask people face to face.
After the sound of slamming the door, Ye Ku's heart froze, and a trace of murderous intent rose, and in a moment's astonishment, a sword light suddenly rose from behind the door and stabbed at his eyebrows.
It's just that the sword is fast and the leaves are faster, and the other life in his memory makes him extremely sensitive to killing intent, even if he doesn't believe it in his heart, but his subordinates never pause, and his two fingers firmly clamped the stabbing sword, and with a flick of his fingers, the sword qi attached to the sword that was supposed to be scattered and shot out suddenly disappeared.
The blade of the sword was also a few inches off, and it was determined when it didn't come back.
"It's me, Leaf Withered. Ye Ku didn't expect his whereabouts to be exposed, looking at this, Yang Lingling had already discovered himself when he entered the courtyard, but he didn't say anything.
After all, Xing'er is just a mortal, and she is an afterthought for the arrival of Ye Wei. The sword just now was just a blink of an eye, she only felt that she was dazzled, and when she saw that it was Ye Ku, she hurriedly came up to salute, and then she saw the sword blade that had not yet been put away.
The door has been pushed open, Yang Lingling's face faintly a blood line flashed away, her expression was indifferent, like a piece of frozen blood, but the coldness will not sink, and the ice will not be solid, but all in all, it is not as energetic as before.
"How are you doing?" Ye Ku asked tentatively, the blood line with a hideous intent on Yang Lingling's face was definitely not an illusion, if he expected it correctly, it should be the same as what he saw at that glimpse last night.
"What is good, what is bad?" As if he didn't want to be seen by Ye Ku, Yang Lingling only took care of his sword and turned around, hung Ye Ku and Xing'er at the door together, chuckled, and said: "Actually, I don't care about Your Highness, I am all right." ”
But between the words, it was a sense of alienation, and Yang Lingling didn't want to talk much to Ye Ku.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Ye Ku changed the topic and asked about the ancient scroll again.
The matter of sending the Ye Ku Gu Scroll was originally Yang Lingling's own initiative. When she came to Japan, she had left Beicheng with the Yang family's caravan, and she came back alone to give Ye Ku's birthday gift.
After the ancient scroll was in hand, Ye Ku also deliberately checked the history of the Yang family, and learned that it was also brilliant hundreds of years ago, but I don't know why it suddenly declined, and the inheritance in the clan didn't know where it went.
And the fog map of Yunsuo Mountain recorded in some way on that ancient scroll, Ye Ku searched all the books in the palace, and there was no place in the ancient Xia that was recorded similar to it. He had only asked Shangguan Xuanqing about this matter on a whim, and he didn't expect to get any useful clues.
The territory is vast, and even the lofty Feather Realm Venerable does not dare to say that he knows the geography and harmony of every place in this ancient Xia country, and this is the case in one country, let alone the three ancient kingdoms that have survived.
The territory of the ancient Xia, the ancient Shang, and the ancient three ancient kingdoms is no longer extensive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to observe one ten-thousandth of a country in their lifetime. The three kingdoms are not closely bordered, there is a huge chasm between the two to cut off each other, the Tianhe is as long as promised, the chasm is thousands of feet, and there is no way for non-monastic accomplished people to cross it without the help of external forces.
The heavenly river is long, and the feather does not cross.
As for the three ancient countries, no one has been there since ancient times, it is a more mysterious taboo, or maybe outside the ancient country is simply a wild land that is uninhabited.
"That's the only thing that has been handed down in our family, the collection of books in the Beiwang Mansion is like a sea of smoke, and I have heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has read a lot of books, and I thought you could solve the secrets. Yang Lingling's words were a little sarcastic, and she didn't want to talk to Ye Ku at all.
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, just please. Without giving Ye Ku a chance to speak again, Yang Lingling issued an eviction order.
"It's fine. Ye Wei weighed it, and only left this sentence.
"Xing'er, come here. ”
Xing'er wanted to send Ye Wei out, but was called back by Yang Lingling, what is the reason, she doesn't need Ye Wei to think about it.
After Ye Wei left, a blood line appeared on Yang Lingling's skin, revealing a strange red light, and this blood line ran down from the Tianling cover to her neck and connected to her heart, making this copy of the youthful and beautiful face a little terrifying. She gasped for breath, and her expression was a little painful, until she soaked in the already hot water, and her brow was relieved.
Xing'er stood aside, and when she encountered such a treachery, she just lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound. She still remembered the first time she saw such a situation, and she was so frightened that she cried.
It's just that the water is a dreamy blue, and it gurgles, as if it is boiling.
After leaving the Yang family, it was already dark, but Ye Ku did not go back to the house, but went directly out of the city from the south of the city and walked to a secluded place.
"After following all the way, aren't you tired?" Ye Ku suddenly stopped, and started with the fingering technique he had learned from the Taixuan Sutra, hiding it.
Lin Xiaoshuang, who was quietly following Ye Ku, thought that he was going to go out of the city to do something, but he didn't expect that Ye Ku was going to lure her out, but she didn't have any bad intentions, and it didn't hurt to be discovered.
Lin Xiaoshuang saw Ye Ku raise his finger at her, and in an instant, she only felt that the natal true qi gathered in the dantian in her body was stripped away by an invisible force, and people were like water without roots. She was already unwary of Ye Ku, and she couldn't help but be confused.
One finger to cut off the mystery. Ye Ku made a move without warning, and when he came to Lin Xiaoshuang's approach, he pointed out again, and blood splattered, staining Lin Xiaoshuang's face.
The person who was pierced through the throat was in disbelief, staring at Ye Ku with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that he would die in the hands of Ye Ku so simply, with the Eight Grades of Bones and the Quenching Exercises, Ye Ku should not even have a chance to hurt him.
Lin Xiaoshuang was stirred back to her senses by the warm blood on her face, looked at the corpse next to her, and then at Ye Ku, she thought that Ye Ku was going to attack her, Ye Ku was too fast, she couldn't react, but after coming back to her senses, she was shocked into a cold sweat.
Ye Ku wiped the blood on his fingers, "Who are you coming out to fight again?"
Life and death are impermanent, and the monks are used to seeing life and death, but there are few who can see it, such as the one who fell on the ground, who died without turning a blind eye, and went to the Yellow Spring before he had time to be frightened.
"What you told me last time, I decided to listen to you. To Ye Ku's surprise, Lin Xiaoshuang no longer wanted to guard the cave.
"What, you know you're scared?" Ye Ku said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustle of leaves.
This is someone nearby, in a hurry. Who knew that Lin Xiaoshuang reacted faster than Ye Ku, and dragged Ye Ku to hide, she had been in the forest for many years, and her vigilance was not comparable to Ye Ku's divine consciousness alone.
"Hand over the things, and the three of us brothers will leave you with a whole corpse. ”
"You can't run away, take out the things obediently, otherwise you won't die so well then!"
Not far away, a few figures disappeared. It was a simple-looking man who fled, although he gritted his teeth and ran without saying a word, but he was helplessly injured, and his dexterity in moving and transferring was not as good as usual, and he was gradually caught up by the three people behind him and knocked him to the ground with a punch.
"You deceive people too much, and I walk straight with my blessed deeds, saying that if there is no, there is nothing. The honest-looking man had a very hard mouth, and after being beaten by the three of them, he still said the same thing, looking like he would rather die than give in.
"Big brother, just kill him and search him slowly. The shorter of the three said viciously, saying that the three were not pleasant in appearance, and that the evil was written on his face.
Known as the eldest brother, he laughed, a blue light flashed, and there was an extra blood hole in Zhang Youfu's shoulder, blood gushed out, and his eyes rolled in pain.
This is a forced confession, Zhang Youfu grinned hoarsely, but he didn't shout. Lin Xiaoshuang, who was hiding on the side, frowned, he didn't like the appearance of the three of them, and he was even more disgusted when he saw that it was so vicious, so he pulled Ye Ku's cuffs and pointed at the three people below.
Ye Wei wanted to wait and see what happened. It is not surprising that after the auction, it is not surprising that some people can't take advantage of the wealth, but they have the ability to kill, and the cultivation is the law of the jungle, and there are too many things to fight for a volume of exercises, a magic weapon, Ye Ku has no time and no heart to care, but he can't stand Lin Xiaoshuang's level.
He was in the dark and the three of them were in the light, one finger was cut off, and the body of the realm of wandering things made Ye Ku fast to the extreme of the mortal bone realm, and there was nothing to stop or say that everything was used for it, and one finger and two fingers rose from behind and pierced the throats of the two people.
"Who?!"
Before the panicked word could be spoken, blood rose from Ye Ku's eyes, and the last of the three fell to the ground.
Ye Ku solved the three of them cleanly, and Lin Xiaoshuang was dumbfounded. You must know that Ye Ku looks like an ordinary person without the slightest cultivation, but killing mortal bones is like drinking water, and her hands are caught, which subverts her cognition a little.
"What realm are you, the Nine Grades of Mortal Bones, or the Transformation Realm?"
Lin Xiaoshuang's throat was a little dry, so it seemed that he was not necessarily Ye Ku's opponent.
In fact, she asked Ye Ku to make a move, but she didn't want to see how many catties and taels Ye Ku had, but the result was beyond her expectations.
Taking advantage of the sneak attack, although she can also solve the three people, it will inevitably take a lot of effort, and it will never be as easy as Ye Wei.
"It's very good to have this kind of cultivation in the mortal bone realm. The sudden appearance of a middle-aged man, although it was a sigh, was a little more ruthless, "It's a pity that such a genius is about to fall here before he is famous in the world." ”
Ye Ku was shocked.
Without him, this middle-aged man has reached the realm.
