Chapter 4: I Killed You for You
The streets of Qingyang Town are very lively, and Qinglin is slowly walking in the crowd.
The shouts of those who are buying, selling, carrying burdens, crossing baskets, selling sugar gourds, and fried oil cakes are endless.
There were children with those two pigtails, chasing and playing in the crowd, laughing and laughing, attracting the adults behind them to say slowly, don't fall.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
In the small mountain village where I live, I can't see such a lively scene.
If it weren't for the mysterious disappearance of his grandfather and the three masters, Qinglin might not have gone down the mountain for the rest of his life.
I can't see the beautiful scenery and fireworks in the world.
As the master said, some people in this world are evil, but not everyone is like this, and it is far less exaggerated than what the master said.
For example, Sister Qing in the Piaoxiang Courtyard and the man with a sword who rescued people are all very good.
And someone else can't kill him with a finger, if he can, he can easily kill someone with one finger...
Qinglin didn't know why the master said this to him, probably because he expected that he would go down the mountain one day, and deliberately warned himself to be gentle and humble.
From Qingyang Town, I went north out of the town and came to a mountain pass.
It is located in the middle of nowhere, backed by mountains, surrounded by dense forests, but there are several simple thatched houses, some of which are dilapidated and do not look like a place for people to live.
Qing Lin stopped and looked, then walked to the room on the far left, and just as he was about to push the door open, a sharp sword with a cold light pierced his throat through the wooden door.
Scold.
Qinglin clamped the sword body between his fingers, and the tip of the sword stopped at a few inches in his throat, and he could no longer advance a single inch.
"The lackey of the Wang family has a sensitive sense of smell. ”
A cold man's voice came from inside the room.
"You are mistaken, I am not from the Wang family. ”
Qing Lin let go of his fingers and let the other party withdraw his sword.
The door opened, and a man masked with a scarf crossed his sword in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance.
When he saw a strange-looking teenager outside the door, he immediately asked, "Who are you?"
The man with the sword didn't dare to be careless, he thought that the person who came was the lackey of the Wang family, and he had no intention of calculating, and when he approached the door, he had been stabbing out with a sword for a long time, but he was easily resolved by the other party.
"What about the little girl?"
Not being able to see the little girl he rescued was a little strange.
"Who the hell are you?"
The young man knows him well, which is not a good thing, and the man with the sword is more vigilant and ready to fight to the death.
"In the Piaoxiang Courtyard, you used the sword body to block the fist, but the strength still hurt the lungs and messed up the qi, and the source qi that can be urged now is only five layers in the heyday.
What's more, your back hit the wall and broke three ribs, and now it is not suitable to mobilize the qi, you need to rest for more than a month to recover your body. ”
The man with the sword sank, he couldn't be clearer about his own situation, but he was expected by the other party one by one.
With this vision and means, I am afraid that he can only be slaughtered by others!
Qinglin took out a vial and handed it to the man with the sword: "This is my own ointment, which can be applied externally and internally, and it should be useful for your injuries." ”
The man with the sword didn't pick it up, and he wondered in his heart, a little puzzled why the young man wanted to help him for no reason.
Is there fraud in it?
What exactly is the other side up to?
Money, sex, and phew...
It's not that he is too cautious and cautious, it's that there are too few good gentlemen and too many bad people and villains in this world, so he has to guard against them.
Qinglin smiled, threw the vial lightly, and the man with the sword grabbed it in his hand, but suddenly thought of something, and blurted out:
"Are you the one who stopped Wang Xin in Piaoxiang Courtyard?"
Except for this possibility, he could no longer find any connection between himself and the young man in front of him.
Qinglin didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, he just smiled.
Nine times out of ten, it is certain that the young man in front of him is his savior.
At that time, the situation was critical, and his life was hanging by a thread, and he knew it.
If it weren't for the young man's help, he and the little girl would have been dead for a long time.
As a sign of respect, the man with the sword ripped off the veil on his face and said respectfully: "In Xiamuli, thank you little brother for saving your life." ”
Qinglin signaled him not to be polite, and the other party showed his true face, it turned out to be a man with good facial features and quite handsome, and his age should not be yet the age of standing.
Then he asked the little girl what was going on.
It turned out that after Mu Li got out of Piaoxiang Courtyard, he let the little girl go home by herself, she was injured, and she was afraid that Wang Xin would lead people to chase her, so she found a remote place to live here.
"That little girl is your friend or family?"
"It's not. ”
"Then why are you willing to take the risk to save her? Then Wang Xin's strength is far better than yours. ”
Mu Li laughed at himself: "I originally wanted to kill Wang Xin, but the little girl just saved it by the way."
I'm alone, my life is rotten, it's a big deal, what do I care about. ”
Qing Lin saw that the light in the depths of his eyes flickered, and there seemed to be something else hidden.
He didn't want to ask, because if Mu Li wanted to say it, he would naturally say it.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, but Mu Li still opened his mouth, and his voice was a little astringent:
"I am a native of Mujia Village in the east of Qingyang Town, I have an elder brother, I have a family, and the two of them are cultivating land at home, facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
I don't want to plant for the rest of my life, I feel that it is useless, six years ago, I left without saying goodbye, wandering alone in the eighteen counties of the Qing court, and finally learned some cultivation methods and had the strength to gain a foothold.
Not long ago, I returned to Qingyang Town, wanting my brother and sister-in-law to live a better life, but I didn't think that I would say goodbye at the beginning, but it was forever separated. ”
Mu Li's words were very light, but he was trembling slightly, Qinglin seemed to have expected what was going to happen next, and his expression was a little gloomy.
"Three months ago, it was also the first day of the new year, my sister-in-law took my twelve-year-old niece to the market, and met Wang Xin, they wanted to rob my nephew on the street, and my sister-in-law was killed by them on the street in front of my nephew.
The sharp knife pierced through his chest, and blood was spilled all over the street.
The niece resisted desperately, biting Wang Xin's hand, hugging her sister-in-law and crying heartbreakingly, and then swore to die, and was also poisoned. ”
Qinglin found that at this moment, Mu Li's fists were clenched, and his nails pierced into the flesh, and there was a trace of blood.
"But this matter is not over at all, in order to humiliate their mother and daughter, Wang Xin's miscellaneous pieces actually ordered someone to rip off their clothes and throw them in the middle of the street in Qingyang Town..."
For the first time, Qinglin felt that the blue sky was not so bright and a little dark.
"When my brother learned of this, he collected the corpse, took out the knife that was used to cut bamboo at home, sharpened and sharpened it, hid it on his body, walked to the Wang family's mansion alone, guarded Wang Xin at the door, and waved the knife at him..."
"He is a hard worker, and he has the strength to do it, but in the face of a cultivator like Wang Xin, the result can be imagined..."
Mu Li took a deep breath.
"Wang Xin asked people to break my brother's legs and hands, throw them at the door of Wang's house, sun, rain, and let vicious dogs gnaw at his body, and tortured him like this for three or four days before he broke his breath..."
"I learned about this a month ago, when my brother's body was pecked by dogs and birds, insects and ants, and only a pile of dry bones remained.
From then on, I swore that I would kill Wang Xin in my life!"
"Ahem..."
When Mu Li said this, the hatred in his heart was monstrous, his body and mind were too agitated, and he was involved in the injury, and a trace of blood coughed up at the corner of his mouth.
"It's a pity that my cultivation is low, Wang Xin's miscellaneous must have a guard entourage every time he travels, and he has not been able to start, today he finally met him alone, only brought two servants who did not cultivate, I wanted to kill him by surprise, but I didn't expect to fight, only to know that my cultivation was too low for him. ”
Mu Li's face was sad: "I must kill him, even if it is death, I must go, otherwise I will not have the face to see my brother and sister-in-law, and the poor niece..."
Qinglin looked up at the blue sky, the early autumn sun did not make him feel warm, but a little cold.
In the past, I lived in a small mountain village with my grandfather and three masters, living a comfortable and peaceful life, the people there were very good, there was no quarrel with the world, and Qinglin was very satisfied.
He felt that the people outside were the same as the people in the small mountain village, and they should not be much worse, but he knew that people's hearts could be so unbearable.
The master is right, the world is dangerous, people's hearts are evil, and the evil is chilling.
Mu Li, whose mood gradually calmed down, suddenly found that the silence around him was terrifying.
The birds and insects that came from time to time in the forest disappeared at the same moment.
His whole body was covered with a strange appearance, and his skin was like pins and needles.
And the source of all this seems to be the boy in front of him... The wooden knife at my waist...
I don't know when, Qinglin's face became very cold, and his heart was very uneasy, just like the wooden knife on his waist, which kept trembling.
A trace of sword intent diffused, and Mu Lilian didn't dare to breathe.
This made him horrified!
This sword intent not only overwhelmed him, but also silenced him for a few miles, and even scared away a flock of birds that lived halfway up the mountainside several miles away.
What a terrifying sword intent!
Mu Li's heart turned over the river and the sea, and he was extremely shocked.
In the past six years, he has traveled in the eighteen counties of the Qing court, endured a lot of hardships, and also met some real masters in the Longyin rivers and lakes.
Such as the water-breaking sword Lan Miao of Qingshui County.
The master of the top three grades who reached the peak, it is rumored that he once split the Tianshan Waterfall of Song Yincheng with a sword, making it break the flow for ten breaths, so he was famous for his name.
A sword intent to suppress the Qing court city, no one can be outstanding, Mu Li is fortunate to have seen him out of the sword, the peerless style and sword intent still make him remember it vividly, and the name of the water sword is well deserved.
But the knife intent that suddenly permeated the young man in front of him seemed to be much better than that person...
The person standing in front of him is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy...
Qinglin calmed down his thoughts, stroked the wooden knife on his waist, and trembled, the feeling that made Mu Li like a needle felt disappeared immediately, and the insects and birds in the surrounding forest also reappeared in his ears.
Then the boy uttered the words:
"Wang Xin, I'll kill it for you. ”
