The night was like an inky full moon, and only the white moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

The entire city of Shaocheng has fallen silent.

In a small alley in the southeast corner of the West City, a man with a sword was covered in tattered clothes, and blood was oozing from the ruined places.

He struggled but was driven by a strong desire to survive, holding a sword in one hand and covering the wound in his abdomen with the other.

But blood was still oozing from his abdomen through his fingers, and his slow pace was finally about to get out of the alley.

But because of the unsteady pace under his feet, he staggered and fell to the ground, and the sword fell to the ground and made a "dang" sound.

A figure also covered him as he fell.

He noticed the figure looking up, and a man in black with a black mask stood in front of him.

His face was full of horror, and he trembled and said: "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, and I don't know who Your Excellency wants to hunt me down. ”

After speaking, two more black shadows came out behind him, and the same person in front of him was a man in black with a black mask.

The man in black in front of him looked at him lying on the ground and knew that he was powerless to escape.

Then he said, "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that you should be honored that you gave your life for the great demon god." ”

Although the man in black had a mask on his face, the fanaticism in his voice was unusually strong.

After speaking, the man in black knocked him unconscious with a knife.

He couldn't resist it, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he fainted, and the man in black picked him up and carried him on his shoulders, and several people left the alley and melted into the night.

After a few people left the alley, a figure stood up on the roof on the left side of the alley.

She watched every move of those people just now.

This person is also the little beggar that Liu Yi and the others met.

She started from the eaves of the alley, jumping and running on the rooftops.

Finally, he returned to his stronghold, and the lights were still bright.

Several people were still writing on the table, She walked to the innermost and met the spy king at this time, it was late at night, but the spy master did not rest.

He was waiting, waiting for the little beggar's report.

The little beggar knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "After a week's time, the army in the southern region, the time and location of the official patrol have been investigated, and just now the subordinates also found that a few black-clothed men chased and killed a man, which is somewhat similar to the people of the Demon Sect who have been rumored recently. ”

The Spy King sat in a chair reading a book, and after listening to her words, he put the book down.

He said: "We don't have to care about those things in the rivers and lakes, this is not our country, you have completed the task well this time, go down to rest first, and there will be a new task for you to complete tomorrow, Xiaoyu, you are my most optimistic spy, your task has been completed very well every time, this task is difficult, but once you complete this task, you can be promoted, and there are also rewards for exercises." ”

"Subordinates have died for the sake of the organization"

The spy said, "Go down." ”

Zhao Yu retreated, and the next morning Zhao Yu was on the street outside the stronghold.

She had already changed all her clothes, wearing a simple cloth coat and a hat, and carrying a small package.

It looks like a little boy.

Zhao Yu walked to a steamed bun shop and ordered two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.

Of course, it was not a simple meal, and in one of the two buns, there was a note sandwiched in it.

Putting the note away, she got up and walked out of the city, the city gate was still bustling, and Zhao Yu, a little boy, naturally would not attract attention.

After leaving the city and walking out of a mile, he took out the note and opened it to see that it read: "From today on, your name is Ye Xiaomei, and the mission goal is to investigate all the information of all the people in the palace of Tai'an City, and there is a chance to take the Nine Turns Linglong from the underground vault, and after you go to the palace, someone will contact you in a secret way." ”

Zhao Yu finished reading the entire note, stuffed the note into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

She continued to walk towards Taean City, which was now far away from the official road, and only the green trees on both sides of the road rustled.

Zhao Yu walked alone on the road, pacing alone like a lonely seedling in the desert.

The Boxing Sect is different from the Taiji Sect hidden in the suburbs of the mountains, and the Boxing Sect was established in a small city, the small city is called the Martial Saint City, according to legend, there was a Martial Saint hundreds of years ago.

The Martial Saint once resisted the siege of ten thousand demons with the strength of one person, but he also disappeared.

In order to commemorate this person and call him a martial saint, this city has built a stone statue of dozens of meters in the city to commemorate the martial saint.

It is also because everyone in the city of Martial Arts is still martial arts, and nine out of ten people have practiced martial arts.

Therefore, there are also many and uneven sects in the rivers and lakes here, and the Fist Sect is also among the best sects in this city.

Although it is called the Boxing Sect, it is not all boxing, and there are many exercises, but they are mainly boxing.

The founding patriarch of the Boxing Sect fought his own world in this martial city with a pair of iron fists, so it was named the Boxing Sect.

With the development of time, boxing has become a major local sect, and the exercises are also diverse.

Now there are four masters in the sect, and the Zhenzong is also a first-class martial city.

At this time, the boxing sect is not lively.

I saw a fat little fat man running fast, holding a chicken leg in his left hand and a steamed bun in his right hand, and his mouth was still full.

And behind him, a deep voice shouted at him: "Tiezhu, you have eaten again, it's not yet noon, hurry up and stop me to stop and put down the cultivation of eating!"

Naturally, it was Fan Yan who spoke, and the one in front was Liu Yi's little friend Zhao Tiezhu.

Tie Zhu chewed two bites and swallowed the contents in his mouth and said, "Don't want master, just let me eat some, I've felt so hungry since I let me cultivate." ”

After saying that, he took a bite of the chicken leg again, and of course he continued to run without stopping.

But how could his current skills outrun his master, Fan Yan caught Tie Zhu with a single acceleration.

After catching him, this kid was still eating, and the angry Fan Yan blew his beard and stared.

Although he wanted to clean him up, Fan Yan thought so in his heart, but he couldn't do anything after all, he was his own apprentice.

So he said with a straight face: "After eating, go and practice the seven-step boxing a hundred times." ”

After hearing this, Tie Zhu suddenly stiffened his hands like frosted eggplants, but remembered that the things in his hands had not been eaten yet, and continued to gnaw.

Fan Yan didn't care about him, he threw him on the steps and sat aside by himself.

There were already a lot of people gathered around who were watching the scene they were chasing, they were all the senior brothers and elders of the iron pillar.

Watching them chase is always laughing and happy.

I only heard an elder-like person say: "Hahahahaha, Fan Yan told you to be at ease in the sect for a day without supervision, and now an apprentice is just right to treat you." ”

The others also laughed when they heard this.

Fan Yan couldn't help but yell at them when he saw them laughing so happily, "Don't be long-winded, if you people don't go to cultivation yet, my apprentices can beat you in the future." ”

The people laughed even more happily.

Fan Yan looked helpless, the people in the sect got along very well, so it was common for everyone to joke with each other.

They were not afraid of Fan Yan, Fan Yan looked sideways and saw that the iron pillar had finished eating the things in his hand, stood up and pulled the iron pillar to leave.

He felt a little embarrassed, and just as they got up to leave, a voice rang out.

"Tiezhu, don't be afraid of you, master, I'll make you something to eat at night. ”

Tie Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Fan Yan looked over angrily, it turned out that it was Du Jun from the kitchen who spoke.

The figure is also the same, a little fat, holding a large spoon and waving it.

Fan Yan roared directly at Du Jun: "Du Fatty, don't say nonsense that my apprentice should focus on cultivation, how can you still have the heart to cultivate if you keep giving him so much food." ”

Du Jun said the same: "Look at your muscles, I didn't feed you, you can still grow so much meat without me." ”

Fan Yan felt as if he had no words to refute him, so he could only carry the iron pillar to a secluded place sullenly.

This is the backyard of the sect, and the iron pillar is practicing seven-step boxing in a good way.

Seven-step boxing is a very basic boxing method, there are 14 styles of boxing, each step is a total of seven steps.

There are straight punches, hook punches, whip punches, and several types of boxing.

Exercise the basic training iron pillar, under the supervision of Fan Yan, he practiced over and over again.

Sweat kept swaying under the movements of the iron pillar.

Tie Zhu practiced silently, without shouting and crying, tired, and compared with his previous bitter gourd face, he had an incomparably resolute look.

Fan Yan will not release water, and will personally reprimand and correct whenever there is an incorrect action.

On the one hand, it was because of sympathy for Tie Zhu's suffering, and on the other hand, because Fan Yan discovered this child's talent.

The seven-step fist is now playing well, although he is a little fat, but his movements are not sluggish, which makes Fan Yan feel as if he has received a very good disciple.

I have the intention to cultivate him.

Yaoshan Village, a very small mountain village, has only a dozen households.

At this time, Ji Yunxi and Zhenghao temporarily rested in this mountain village for a few days, and they came to rent a spare room from the village yesterday.

Put two straw mats and sleep at will, and today I practiced swordsmanship on the riverside one mile away from the village.

Zhenghao and Ji Yunxi were practicing with wooden swords in their hands.

Ji Yunxi didn't teach him any moves along the way with Zhenghao, and only told him the simplest way to use the sword.

Stab, split, flirt, and a few other basic movements, and then let Zhenghao practice with the two of them.

The process must be arduous, and Zhenghao was poked by Ji Yunxi with a wooden sword every time.

But every time he finished practicing, Ji Yunxi would also give him some medicinal mud to rub on his body, and the mark would soon disappear the next day.

The next day, he continued to practice, and by today, he was practicing by the river, and Zhenghao was barely able to catch Ji Yunxi's few moves.

Another sword attacked, and Zhenghao was stabbed and fell directly to the ground.

Zhenghao's sword didn't stab Ji Yunxi, so he was picked aside and stabbed directly into his left shoulder.

fell to the ground, not because Ji Yunxi exerted too much force, but because Zhenghao was already tired.

After several hours of sparring training, Zhenghao was already scarred.

Ji Yunxi watched him fall, stuck the wooden sword on the ground, sat down and said, "Rest for half an hour." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and practiced pranayama.

Zhenghao lay flat on the grass, his eyes looking at the sky, the sky was clear and blue.

There were a few thick clouds hanging in the sky, looking at the clouds, it seemed that they had become Liu Yi and his parents.

Zhenghao looked at it and didn't know how long it took Ji Yunxi to say, "Get up, let's go eat first." ”

The two of them walked towards the village, and they went back to their huts.

Meals have been placed on a wooden table inside, which is what Ji Yunxi promised the villagers to put three meals a day in their house on time.

Ji Yunxi will give them some good silver taels to cook money, and the meal is a simple three dishes and one soup.

One meat and two vegetables with two bowls of rice, and a small wooden barrel with a bucket of rice.

It is enough for the master and apprentice to have a full meal and eliminate the hunger caused by the training.

After a full meal, Ji Yunxi and Zhenghao sat and drank tea, and Ji Yunxi said to Zhenghao: "We've been here for a few days, and it's time to leave here." ”

Zhenghao listened to the master's words, and felt a little sad in his heart, the villagers here are all simple and kind people, and they are also very good to the two of them.

But these few days he also knew the personality of the master.

So he said, "Okay, I'll go and pack up my salute." ”

Ji Yunxi didn't reply, and Zhenghao went into the house to clean up.

Not long after, the two walked out of the village without alarming anyone, but Zhenghao and Ji Yunxi walked out of the village with a small burden on their backs.

Ten taels of silver were left in the hut as some reward for the villagers taking care of them these days.
