3. The mysterious black-robed man
After leaving the hut, Jiang Ling walked alone on the muddy mountain road.
According to legend, Luocheng was a wasteland a long time ago, with a radius of thousands of miles and no one inhabited, and it was a dangerous place known to the world.
But at some point, a mountain appeared on this wasteland, which looked like a Wolong hovering here from a distance, so people named it Dragon Mountain.
Because of the appearance of Longshan, this area seems to have an aura. Gradually, this wasteland came to life, with Longshan as the center, and the former wasteland actually showed a vibrant scene.
The change attracted attention, and many families moved to establish new homes near Yongsan.
Many years later, more and more people near Longshan began to build the city, which is the origin of Luocheng.
There are too many secrets in Longshan that ordinary mortals can't approach at all, and only a few cultivators can climb Longshan, but it doesn't seem to be known about the depths of Longshan.
There are two sects in Longshan today, the Lancang Pavilion, which is based on Taoism, and the Tianyi Sect, which is famous for its swordsmanship. And Jiang Ling is one of the inner disciples of Lancang Pavilion.
Jiang Ling secretly went down the mountain to play half a month ago, according to the regulations of the Lancang Pavilion, this kind of secretly going down the mountain to play is to face the wall for a month as a punishment, but Jiang Ling's identity is special, according to the usual Tianyang real person in Lu Yuanqing's face, they all turn a blind eye, at most, when he comes back, a few words of scolding will pass.
But this time it was different, it was Lu Yuanqing who personally sent a message to find Jiang Ling, and Tianyang Zhencai had to personally go to Luocheng to arrest Jiang Ling. Incidents like this where the Great Elder personally went out to look for a disciple really had a precedent because of Jiang Ling.
However, Tianyang Zhenren didn't know Jiang Ling's true identity, but he was brought by Lu Yuanqing, which was enough to make Tianyang Zhenren absolutely attach importance to it.
At this moment, Jiang Ling was humming a minor tune and hurriedly headed towards Luocheng under the mountain.
For some reason, a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountain forest, and the leaves suddenly rustled.
Jiang Ling had a bad premonition in his heart, and he felt a breath that was coming at him.
Immediately after, a person dressed in a black robe with an indistinct face appeared in Jiang Ling's field of vision.
Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows, and said with a hippie smile: "This big brother, do you have anything to do with me?
"Hmph, do you think your trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can fool me?" said the man in black and directly slapped his palm.
"Poof"!
Jiang Ling suddenly retreated more than two feet, covered his chest and scolded: "You guy is really unreasonable, you will hurt people when you shoot, I said I won't fight you." ”
"It's such a piece of rubbish, I can't even catch it in my palm. Anyway, you go to Luzhou quickly, if you don't appear in Luzhou within five days, I will take your life!"
Jiang Ling slowly stood up, and only after confirming that the man in black had left, did he breathe a sigh of relief. "It's really unlucky, as soon as I came out, I met such a strange guy, what do you want me to do in Luzhou, inexplicable! I won't go, I'll see what you can do to me." Jiang Ling rolled his eyes at the air again, as if he was despising the man in black.
The other end of Yongsan.
"Tsing Yi, are you sure this bastard is the man we are looking for?
"Black robe, this is what that one means, you just do it, don't ask anything else!" said a woman in a light blue dress, "Black robe, your biggest weakness is that you are too arrogant! Do you really think that guy has no power to fight back?" ”
The black robe was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you Tsing Yi for reminding me." ”
"Thank you don't have to, you just need to do what that one wants, if you don't do it well, no one can protect you!" Tsing Yi said, "Okay, do what you have to do!"
"Yes. The black robe answered, and then disappeared from Tsing Yi's sight.
Luocheng, Taoran Gambling House.
Looking at the sect of Tao Ran's gambling house, Jiang Ling smiled and said to himself: "I don't know how lucky I am today, maybe I can make a lot of money." As he spoke, Jiang Ling had already walked in with his hands.
"Yo, isn't this Jiang Shaoxia!What, come here to try your luck?"
"Hehe, of course," Jiang Ling said unashamedly, "I'm going to go out to explore the rivers and lakes, so naturally I want to make some money." ”
"Yo, it's worthy of Jiang Shaoxia, and he really has great ambitions." The young lady smiled and said, "Then the young man is here, please!"
The young lady took Jiang Ling all the way to a big table and said, "Then I wish Shaoxia to win more silver taels!"
"Hehe, borrow your auspicious words" Jiang Ling smiled evilly and turned to the gaming table.
As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets are lost, but for some reason, today Jiang Ling hit again and again, and the chips multiplied more than 20 times.
Jiang Ling looked at his chips, he was also surprised, and said with great joy: "Wow, you have made a fortune, you are really blessed by God!"
Jiang Ling was very greedy for money, but he still understood the word "accept when he sees it" very thoroughly, he grinned, and disappeared in front of everyone with a large pile of chips.
Back on the street, Jiang Ling already had an extra bag of bulging silver taels in his hand, he smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Now I have the capital, hehe." ”
Three days later, Luocheng Tongtian Inn.
In the luxurious room on the third floor, a young man was lying bored on the bed. This person has messy hair and a lazy expression, yes, it is Jiang Ling.
"Boy, you only have two days!" a voice came from the void.
Jiang Ling sat up abruptly and said to the void: "Why are you again, are you annoying, I won't go to Luzhou, I want to go to you yourself!"
"Are you really not going?" the voice in the void responded.
"What can you do if I don't go? I'm dignified Jiang Shaoxia, I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Ling said unashamedly.
"Poof"!
The door was smashed in an instant, and the black robe slowly walked in, and said to Jiang Ling, "I'll give you a chance one last time!" As he spoke, the breath of his whole body was released, and Jiang Ling instantly felt a great oppression.
Jiang Ling's heart was empty, and he smiled: "I'll go, I can't go! Don't be angry, don't be angry, hehe." ”
The black robe snorted coldly and said, "If you dare to play tricks again, I want your life, remember, you only have two days left!"
With the departure of the black robe, the sense of oppression gradually disappeared, Jiang Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Who is this guy, what do you want to do, look at his Taoism, at least it is almost the same as the master, why do you keep staring at me?" Jiang Ling shook his head, "Okay, just go, I want to see what he wants to do." ”
