Although the ancient Qingcheng is a mortal city, it covers a vast area, surrounded by thousands of smaller towns, it is the economic center of the ordinary people in this county, extending in all directions, the city wall is as high as 19 zhang, it takes at least nearly a hundred years to cast this iron bucket gold city.

The official road leading from Guqing County in Luoyang Prefecture to Shu County in Qinzhou is one of the few economic arteries in the two states, and the land and mountains on both sides of the official road in the giant mountain are sparsely populated, because this side is close to the boundless mountains and jungles, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, except for those tribes whose ancestors lived in the mountains, there are almost no human tracks. It wasn't until it was close to the ancient Qingcheng that some small towns and villages were sparsely populated.

At this moment, it is dusk, the clouds in the sky are rolling and rolling wildly, lightning crosses the boundless sky, roaring loudly, countless bean raindrops smashed into the plain land, splashing pieces of water, pieces of huge black clouds with thousands of thunderbolts crashed together, sparks burst out at the edge of the impact, thunder roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

This city called Qingshi City has gradually fallen silent under the bad weather, and the noisy night market at this time in the past is nowhere to be seen, only the noisy Qinglou and the noisy and lively several big restaurants are still brightly lit, singing and dancing as in the past, I am afraid that those Qinglou women will have a few more overnight businesses tonight. The gates had just been closed with the efforts of a few soaking wet soldiers, and the golden light of the dusk had long been swept away by the storm, and the sky had been completely overcast, and thick dark clouds obscured the sky, and from time to time a flash of lightning flashed, mixed with the violent rain ravaged everything unscrupulously.

With a squeak, the door of the Fulai Inn was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew into the warm inn, and the cold rain hit the edge of the threshold, instantly wetting the ground a few steps in front of the door.

Xiao Er Ah Fu just wanted to scold, but saw that behind the young man who pushed the door open, there were four black figures standing in the wind and rain, with big shoulders and round waists, and they were not good at first glance, so they quickly changed their faces, stepped forward and pulled people into the house, and said flatteringly: "A few uncles, it just so happens that there are two big empty rooms in the small shop today, come in and warm up and eat some hot food." As he spoke, he patted the clothes of the young man in front of him with a towel.

At this time, there were two tables of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, one table was a few people with swords, eating and drinking, and the other table was two young men in silk clothes, dressed luxuriously, and they looked like rich sons. At this time, people came in and looked at them.

Xu Yan came in with a few black-clothed masked men soaking wet, and he was in an extremely bad mood. It is true that he is a cultivator of the Qi Sea Realm, but at this time, he does not have half a spiritual weapon in his body, he can just use the Xuan Qi to control some low-level magic weapon talismans, and the several pills he is carrying have already been exhausted, and the recovery of the Xuan Qi is extremely slow, so this rainstorm has made him, a cultivator of the Qi Sea Realm, helpless, almost drenched all over, his black and wet hair hangs down in front of his forehead, and his cheeks have been washed away with blood scabs and mud, showing his original white and handsome.

Feeling the gazes of several people in the lobby, Xu Yan snorted lightly in his heart, pushed Ah Fu away, and stepped forward to sit on an empty table. The hand in his sleeve clenched the bell, and his heart moved, and the black-clothed man who was the first to enter the door took out a soaked money bag from his arms and threw it in front of Ah Fu, and then the four big men all stood behind Xu Yan, without saying a word, even regardless of the dripping water on his body.

"Xiao Er, go buy me a few sets of clothes, and two plates of hot dishes, and the rest of the money will be rewarded to you." Xu Yan was soaked on the surface, but in fact, his underwear was not wet, although he couldn't condense his qi into a cover, he had been using his aura to circulate on the surface of his skin, but it was too much aura consumption, and it was indecent after all.

"This... Young master, with all due respect to the villain, there are so many people under your command, is two dishes enough? We have a special teppanyaki roast chicken and braised beef in our store, would you like to come for a few catties?" Ah Fu saw a few big men behind Xu Yan, his eyes rolled and he smiled.

Xu Yan didn't speak, didn't even raise his head, and was still playing with the small bronze bell in his hand. A big man in black behind him stepped forward and picked up Ah Fu's thin body, Ah Fu's feet were hanging in the air, his neck seemed to be held by an iron hoop, and his frightened eyes were facing the gray dull eyes outside the big man's scarf.

"Uncle Rao.. Spare your life, the little one doesn't.. Don't dare to talk nonsense, big.. Uncle. Ah Fu struggled and shouted. Hearing the sound, two greasy men rushed out of the door behind the wooden staircase, with spoons and kitchen knives in their hands, apparently chefs or something. When these two people saw this scene, they saw that Xiao Er must have provoked this young master and taught him a lesson by his subordinates. The chef with the spoon snorted and said to Xu Yan: "Our owner is Zhao Yuanwai's younger brother, and I also ask the young master to raise his noble hand and give a thin noodle, and the small shop has a treat today, please invite the young master to drink." ”

The black-clothed man let go of his hand, Ah Fu picked up the money bag on the ground tremblingly, showed a smile to Xu Yan that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Young master, wait a minute, I'll do what you ordered." After saying a few words to the cook, he took the money bag and pushed the door open and ran into the rain.

The two cooks confessed and went into the inner room to prepare the meal.

At this time, the people in the rivers and lakes stopped drinking, and one of the rugged men with a loud voice relied on a bit of alcohol, glanced at Xu Yan, and said loudly: "The children of the current eunuchs and rich businessmen, relying on a bit of power, will bully civilians who don't know martial arts, so that Lao Tie and I, a hero who kills the rich and helps the poor, will definitely kill him all over the house, scatter his money, and distribute it to the poor and tired people!"

"Brother Tie said it well!"

"Brother Tie is arrogant, and he will be a hero in the future!"

Several people at the same table cheered loudly, and looked at Xu Yan with provocative eyes from time to time. These martial arts people who are not up to the bottom of their martial arts, do not do their jobs all day long, forcibly rob the money of some so-called rich people, do not think of martial arts and forge ahead, eat and drink nonsense, those who are really rich and powerful, they dare not move.

Today, they were also relying on the smell of alcohol, looking at Xu Yan's clothes in tattered cloth, thinking that it was not a particularly rich family, but just a few bodyguards, so they didn't feel a little stronger, sneered, and vented some of the grievances of being oppressed by the government.

Xu Yan picked up the braised beef that had just been served with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, completely ignoring the shouts of the martial arts people on the table next to him. Behind him, several black-scarfed and masked men did not say a word, standing behind him like a log, their eyes dull, as if nothing could attract them.

The rugged man surnamed Tie had some sense of alcohol, and as soon as he was flattered by a few people at the same table, he was dizzy and thought that he was really a generation of heroes. At that moment, he opened his eyes angrily, and said to Xu Yan's side of the table: "This... Brother Ren, this rainy night outside, all the households are closed to hide from the rain, that little second is just a part-time worker, and he is also pitiful, why do you want to bully him?

Xu Yan's hand holding the water cup paused, turned his head to look at the people at the table, and did not speak. Several black-clothed men around him took a step forward, and the wooden floor on which he stepped on made a "clang" sound, and the lobby on the first floor was suddenly silent, leaving only the wind and rain raging outside the door, and the sound of bean raindrops hitting the doors and windows was particularly clear.

"Hey, you have something to say, don't be angry. A man in silk clothes on the other table picked up a wine glass and said with a smile, "So the sky is still coming to this inn to rest, looking at this, you are not locals, presumably you are not passing by here or you are in the body, in this case, getting together is fate, why bother for a small shopkeeper?"

This silk boy has a fair and elegant face, generous manners, and politeness in his speech, which makes people feel good.

"That's the case, it's just that this little brother is inappropriate to do the facts, our Iron Brother can't look past it, so he persuaded each other, Brother Tie was originally a good intention, and I hope that the little brother will not misunderstand. A white-clothed scribe next to the big man surnamed Tie who hadn't drunk much stood up and saluted Xu Yan and the two sons, which also gave the big man surnamed Tie a step down. They also saw the extraordinaryness of the few black-clothed men behind Xu Yan, in their opinion, those big men acted like fierce generals in the army, and it was better to make less trouble.

The door of the inn was pushed open, and another cold wind and cold rain blew into the door, and a man covered in rags entered the room, dripping wet, and holding a package wrapped in several layers of cloth in his arms. Changed hands and closed the door of the store, walked to Xu Yan flatteringly, handed over the package, took it out in his arms, took out a small bag of silver, and said, "Childe, I bought the things you asked me to buy, and this is the remaining money." ”

It is not difficult for a discerning person to see that he earned half a tael of silver from this trip in the rain, which is worth the salary of the two or two months. Xu Yan gave too much silver, although he said before that he would reward him all, but he didn't dare to take it all, it was almost thirty taels of silver, two sets of silk shirts used eighteen taels, and there were more than ten taels left, he just followed the old rules and took some small money that the guests would not care about, this time the guests gave more, so he simply took half a tael of silver.

Xu Yan took the package and unwrapped the outer two layers of cloth, and inside were two new sets of silk shirts, which were not wet at all. He didn't take the silver, nodded to Xiao Er, and said, "The rest of the money will be rewarded to you." Xiao Er ignored the wetness on his body, nodded again and again and said, "Thank you, Childe, it's my honor to serve Childe, I don't know what else Childe commands?"

His face was full of red light, and he couldn't wait to go up and shine Xu Yan's shoes and clothes. This time, the guest casually rewarded more than ten taels of silver, but it can be worth more than a year's salary, and what is it if it rains a little. This time, I can finally buy a few catties of good pork belly for my mother who haven't eaten for a long time, and I can also buy some jewelry for my newlywed wife.

The big man surnamed Tie here saw Xiao Er's appearance, snorted coldly, and said in his heart, the current person is really powerful, and he doesn't want it for the sake of money, and he doesn't want it anymore, so he can't help but sympathize with you just now, and he can't help but feel depressed when he thinks of this, so he simply doesn't look at him anymore, raises his wine glass, and says loudly: "Dry!"

Although Xu Yan looked at the food, he could see the subtleties of the expressions of everyone in the hall. In his eyes, these people don't bother to communicate with them at all, in his opinion, these people are full of turbidity, the meridians are blocked, the martial arts are not successful, the mystical path is not passable, they are not awake in the red dust, struggling and wandering, what can they do to let themselves look at them.

After a while, Xu Yan had eaten the meal, thought for a while, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and called the little two to his side, and said: "Prepare a guest room for the poor road, and you can buy two good Taoist robes with these silver money, and the rest of the money will be rewarded to you." After that, he took out some silver money from his bosom and threw it at Xiao Er's feet.

Xiao Er doesn't know how many times his mood has changed today, and he can get this nobleman's reward at this time, he said with a red face: "The little one will take the Dao Master to rest, and the little one will go to buy a robe and send it to the room for the Dao Master." ”

"Yes. Xu Yan stood up gently, he was still wearing the clothes that looked tattered and dripping, and was just about to go upstairs with Xiao Er, when the laughter of the young man in silk came: "This son, I see that your steps are vain, your face is pale, and the meeting is fateful, but Xiao Ke has a few medical skills, so I can diagnose and treat the son?"

"It's okay, thank you, Your Excellency. The corners of Xu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh out loud, but finally held back, and went upstairs with Xiao Er. According to his temperament, he didn't pay attention to the man in silk at all, but after all, he was only in his twenties, and even if he wanted to completely control his emotions, he was far from being able to do so. The words of the man in silk just now almost made him laugh out loud, even if a mortal doctor has a lot of medical skills, he can't compare to a single elixir of a cultivator, not to mention that he himself is not sick at all.

The man in silk looked at the four black-clothed men who went upstairs with Xu Yan, and said to the people at the same table: "These four guards around this person are extremely powerful, I'm afraid none of them are opponents." Although I didn't feel any signs of the guard cultivating external skills, a single step could make a deep footprint on the board without cracking, a kind of strength and control that my father couldn't do. ”

The grim man took a sip and said, "There is nothing special about this person, those four guards are probably all innate masters of martial arts, and they have reached the realm of returning to the basics." ”

The smiling face of the silk-clothed boy finally changed color, and he said in shock: "Martial arts innate master!? Mo Kan, your vision should not be wrong, but this guy actually uses four martial arts innate masters as guards, what is the origin!"

"I see that he just called himself a poor way, and he doesn't seem to care about those martial arts innate guards, and he drives them arbitrarily, it should be the strong force behind him, and only Qinglian Guan has this kind of power in a radius of tens of thousands of miles. ”

"That Qinglian is a Taoist priest in the view, but he disdains Qing Xiu, and only cares about being brave and ruthless, but the master of that view is a master of the innate peak of martial arts, and there are more than ten innate masters of martial arts in the view, dominating one side within a radius of 100,000 miles. ”

The grim man snorted coldly: "That Qinglian Guan Master is from Jushan City, he must have a cultivation method in his body, wouldn't it be easy to develop his power." Qinglian Guan is powerful and blessed, and the tens of thousands of Taoist priests below are mostly greedy for money and lustful, causing trouble, relying on their own two efforts to bully those ordinary people. ”

"That's not for you and me. "I'm still busy, how can I have time to care about other people's lives and deaths. ”

Xu Yan was playing with the [Gathering Spirit Xuandan] in his hand, with a strange look on his face, where is this kind of Xuandan, it is clearly the Qingxin Pill of Pure Mind and Concentration, and the innate master of martial arts is quite useful, but it is useless to him at this time.

Throw the pill in the storage bag, sit cross-legged on the bed and close your eyes to breathe. The four black-clothed men were standing at the door, and if anyone wanted to force their way into this room, they would only be instantly killed by these four corpses.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, beams of golden sunlight shine through the window lattice, and the quaint tables and chairs in the store look antique in the early morning sun, and countless visible motes struggle in the sunlight, trying to escape the control of this small light.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a young Taoist walked out. Dressed in a robe of new and fine fabric, he had a bun on his head at random, two strands of black hair hanging down from his sideburns, revealing a fair forehead, and thin lips pursed. The calm eyes met the dazzling sunlight, and a momentum suddenly erupted on his body, the Taoist robe flew without wind, and the doors and windows behind him clanged.

The handsome Taoist flicked his sleeves, the momentum on his body disappeared, and four black-clothed men walked out of the room behind him, and followed the Taoist downstairs.

This is exactly Xu Yan, breathing all night, and refining some spiritual blood pill medicinal power, at this moment has completely stabilized the Qi Sea Triple Realm, according to his estimate, if all the medicinal power in the body is refined, it is possible to break through to the Qi Sea Triple Realm! Xu Yan's heart is clear and clear, and he can't wait to let out a long roar, completely stabilizing the realm, and the control of the spiritual energy is already like an arm's command.

When I got out of the inn, I looked at the busy crowd on the street, breathed in the fresh air after the rain, and there were still a few pools of stagnant water on the stone road under my feet.

A young handsome Taoist, followed by several big men, walked in the direction of the city gate. Ordinary people would be stunned when they saw Xu Yan, and then turned sideways with a little respect. Because the status of Taoist priests is very high, those masters in the Ying Dynasty are all new disciples sent by major Xuanmen or dojos, and these people are all Taoists. Because of his identity as a Taoist priest, many people got a Taoist robe and began to make money for others. Xu Yan's robe can be seen at a glance as a good fabric, more than ten taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Xu Yan was walking on the street, but he didn't realize that the surroundings were already lively, and all kinds of shouting and selling were endless, it turned out that today was actually a small market. Xu Yan watched the children running around with sugar gourds, the mother counted out a few silver coins from the handkerchief in her arms in order to buy a noodle for the child, the melons and fruits of the vendors were placed on the ground, a few people who looked like officials picked up the melons and fruits and left, and there were acrobatic performances, and the crowd applauded from time to time.

All living beings are so integrated into life, so real, but they don't even know where they are.

Xu Yan sighed in his heart, he could no longer be the royal Xu Yan in the Xu realm, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad for a while.

......

Although the ancient green city is a mortal city, it is also a glorious city of ten thousand years, magnificent and tall, and magnificent. Because of the influence of the giant mountain, the martial arts within a radius of millions of miles are extremely prosperous, in addition to those who are accepted as disciples or income in the city by the giant mountain cultivators, there are also many martial arts sects elsewhere in the county, countless martial arts sects are attached to those high casual cultivators and small cultivators, from time to time there are crude cultivation techniques from the giant mountain, but due to the harsh requirements of the spiritual root, few people can have this opportunity.

Outside the city wall, which was forty feet high and made of huge bluestones, the city gate was wide open, and groups of silver-armored soldiers made routine inspections from time to time, just looking at the resolute faces of these soldiers, the steady steps, and the scimitars made of steel on their bodies, and the shining silver armor, all showed that this was an elite soldier.

Standing at the city gate across the wide moat and looking into the distance, because the city base is higher, you can see countless early farmers working in the vast fields, and countless villages have just slept as if they were full, and gradually woke up.

The cold air of the early morning blew on their bodies with gusts of cool wind, making those soldiers can't help but tighten the cotton armor inside.

A silver-armored soldier with a cold mist in his mouth looked at a carriage walking in front of the city gate on the drawbridge, and stepped forward to conduct a routine interrogation. When I got closer, I saw that the horses next to the carriage were all dressed as guards, and the one in the center had bulging temples and eyes like eagles. The silver-armored soldier was shocked when he saw the appearance of the person who came, and saw that Deacon Wang looked quite impatient, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you are..."

This person was the deacon Wang, and Deacon Wang didn't look at him, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of." After that, the horse entered the city, and the guards next to him were also heavy-faced, ignoring these soldiers, and escorting the carriage into the city left and right.

"What is Deacon Wang doing with his people? Seeing that he and his men are all newly dressed and look abnormal, do you want to report to Lord City Guard?" said the silver-armored soldier who touched his cold ass with a strange expression.

"Don't meddle in your affairs, you really think you're long-lived. Lord Wang is about to be promoted to martial arts innate and is in charge of the city's guards and commands, and is an important figure in the Zhang Chengshou faction. Although the castle guards have kept our attention to anomalous characters in private, the dispute between the two factions is none of our business for the Acropolis. ”

"When Lao Tzu is promoted to martial arts innate, I have to give him a good look! ”

"Stop daydreaming, Deacon Wang can crush you with one hand, hahaha. ”

"It's a long time coming... Maybe I can also be promoted to martial arts innate ability. ”

"You two, why don't you go on patrol quickly!What are you talking about in that sneaky way!" A silver-armored soldier with a leader-like appearance walked over and interrupted the two who were lustful, looking rather displeased.

"Yes, sir!"

Sitting in the slightly bumpy carriage, Qiushui, who had changed into a dress, had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, thinking that he had not slept enough because he had gotten up early and hurried. The girl surnamed Zhang next to her touched Qiushui's hair affectionately, and said to herself: "This girl can really sleep, and I want to wait for her, I really don't know who is the lady and who is the maid." With that, he picked up a robe and draped it over Qiushui, so as not to be frozen by the cold of the early morning.

The girl held her cheeks with her hands, but there was some depression in her beautiful eyes, thinking that because of her momentary negligence, several people were killed, and Zheng Dart's head was torn off her arm, and she blamed herself for a while, and some were lucky, fortunately Uncle Wang was fine, or she should die of guilt.

That demonic man, he saved him with good intentions, but he couldn't help but say that snatching the pill was really ungrateful. Some anger appeared on the girl's face, and she took out a small jade box from her arms and rubbed it gently, fortunately, the real elixir was not lost, or she really didn't know how to explain it to her father.

The carriage crossed the streets and stopped in front of a luxurious mansion with a plaque in front of the door that reads 'Zhang Mansion'. Deacon Wang lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the girl who was sleeping in the autumn water, and said respectfully: "Miss, you are home, come down." “

The doorman and handyman at the door came forward and hurriedly helped lead the carriage to the backyard, and the girl woke up Qiushui, pulled the confused girl, and entered Zhang's mansion surrounded by servants.

In the alley in front of Zhang's mansion, several pairs of eyes stared at every move at the door, and one of them said in a low voice: "Go and report to Lord Chengshou, Deacon Wang has picked up Miss Zhang's family and returned." "Yes. ”

The smell of high-quality sandalwood permeates the entire study, and in front of the quaint wooden desk, a middle-aged man stands with his hands in his hands, this person's face is cold, and he is not angry. At this moment, his face was heavy, and he kept pacing around the room, and suddenly the middle-aged man shook his head and let out an inaudible sigh.

This person is Zhang Shouyuan, a high-ranking and powerful person in Guqing City, Zhang Deputy City Shou, and also an acquired grandmaster master.

What happened on the way back, Deacon Wang had already reported to him, and learned that the real elixir was not lost, and their people were not damaged, Zhang Shouyuan did not blame him. Just sent some people to investigate the mysterious person who was suspected of being a great master of martial arts, that is, Xu Yan. On the side of the Zhentian Dart Bureau, two dozen silver dots have been sent and someone has been sent to visit.

What bothered him at this moment was not this matter, but that the great martial arts innate worship of the giant mountain had promised him to support him as the upper city guard, and instructed him to have some experience in advancing to the martial arts innate experience, this temptation can be described as very big, of course, the price paid also made this deputy city guard Zhang frown.

Originally, his plan was to offer the mysterious Xuandan [Gathering Spirit Xuandan] left over from ancient times, but the intention of the offering was not here, and it can also be said that they did not know the goods. The one who wanted to worship was his daughter, the kind and pretty girl, Zhang Yunling.

The door of the study was pushed open with a creak, and a girl in blue clothes walked in, her fair face was slightly reddened, and she walked lightly, like a dusty blue lotus.

"Dad, my daughter almost won't see you. Zhang Yunling's mouth pursed, and she almost burst into tears, her big red eyes were watery and hazy, full of grievances and attachments.

"Ling'er is fine, Dad is here, Dad will help you get angry. Zhang Shouyuan hugged his daughter, but his eyes showed sadness, he had coaxed his daughter to protect him since he was a child, and he had never lost his temper with her, at this time, for his own great cause, he had to sacrifice her, and besides, he was also a beautiful man, and he was not wronged Ling Ruo.

"Ling'er, Dad wants your help with something. The sadness in Zhang Shouyuan's eyes became more and more obvious, but Zhang Yunling, who broke free, said happily: "Dad, if there is anything that makes you sad, my daughter will help you solve your worries." Yu Ba stroked his father's hair with a pair of white and slender hands, and helped his father smooth out the strands of hair.

......

It was early in the morning again, the tall city gate of the outer city of the giant mountain rumbled open, and several silver-armored soldiers who were cold pushed the door open, with a sleepy look on their faces, thinking that they were a little tired from being on duty all night.

"I lost two taels of silver again, and I won't play next time. A diminutive soldier muttered and kicked the giant door, venting his frustration at losing money overnight. The other soldiers were also sleepy-eyed and waiting for the shift change, and when they heard this, they tacitly looked at each other a few times, and the corners of their mouths crossed a sinister smile.

There was a sound of neat footsteps in the streets of the city, and several people looked inside, and several silver-armored soldiers ran in front of them, dressed exactly like them, and the leader was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He came running with a few soldiers, and when he saw the short-headed soldier feeling sorry for himself, he couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded: "I told you not to gamble with a few of them, but I just didn't listen, can you play with a few of them?

The short soldier seemed to be very afraid of this thick-eyed young man, and lowered his head and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I will definitely not play next time." The thick-eyed young man ignored him and glared fiercely at the soldiers who were on the night vigil, and those few people were too weak to look at him.

The young man sighed, shook his head, and said, "Hurry up, I'm going to take over." After speaking, a few people pulled out their spears and stood in front of them, with a military aura. The soldiers who stayed up all night gambling packed up their armor and walked away.

The father of the thick-eyed young man is the commander of the Acropolis Army, he is still quite dignified here, the short soldier did not leave, he didn't know where to put his hand there, with a little scorn on his face, and said carefully: "Brother-in-law, I want your help with something, I am going to do a big business, and I will definitely make money this time." ”

The young man with thick eyebrows glanced at this unsuccessful wife and brother, with some disdain and disgust in the depths of his eyes, and thought that his beloved wife had been dependent on him since he was a child, and there was only this one relative, and his face softened a little: "When have you ever made money? Every time you waste the money I give you, you can't do things seriously, and your sister and I can find you a good daughter-in-law." "It's also a little strange to say, in the past, every time I lost money, I cried and screamed, but today I don't seem to care.

The short soldier ignored the disdainful eyes of several soldiers behind the young man, stepped forward and patted the frost on the armor on his brother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Isn't the daughter of Deputy City Guard Zhang going to marry the newly invited martial arts innate offering, my former gambling friend did miscellaneous work under the hands of the martial arts innate worship, this time he stepped on the shit that fell from the sky, and was ordered by the great offering to purchase and purchase wedding supplies, brother-in-law, don't you just have a side business in this area? ”

The young man with thick eyebrows was just about to speak, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few people coming six or seven feet in front of the city gate, and one of them couldn't see his face clearly, followed by four black shadows, and in the blink of an eye, he found that the five people had arrived in front of him. The young man with thick eyebrows was startled, and he didn't care about this brother-in-law, waved his hand and raised his spear horizontally and said, "Come slowly!" Several cronies and soldiers behind him also reacted quickly, drew their spears and laid them in front of him, their eyes blazing.

When one person stopped, the four people behind him stopped together, and the young man with thick eyebrows saw that the leader was a young Taoist, and immediately said loudly: "This Taoist is walking slowly, the day before yesterday, there were murderers dressed as Taoists who killed innocents indiscriminately for money and murder, and please stay for the time being to verify the portrait of the city gate before inviting in." ”

The handsome Taoist priest smiled but did not speak. After the soldier finished verifying, the young Taoist shook his sleeves slightly and said with a smile: "Did the daughter of Deputy City Guard Zhang, who was mentioned by the military masters just now, always like to wear blue clothes and only returned not long ago?"

The short soldier was just about to speak, but he was glared at fiercely by the thick-eyed young man and swallowed what he wanted to say. The thick-eyed young man pondered for a while, cautiously looked at the four black-clothed men behind this person, and said, "Just now, Don't be surprised, the daughter of Deputy Zhang's city guard has always lived in the outer city, and the current situation is indeed unknown. ”

The young Taoist stroked his palms slightly, although the corners of his mouth were smiling lightly, but there was a cyan vortex running wildly in his eyes, and there was a trace of violence in the depths, this young Taoist was Xu Yan.

Xu Yan pressed the impulse to roll in his heart from time to time, and walked straight into the city. The young man with thick eyebrows looked at the backs of Xu Yan and the others, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Hurry up and go on duty, I can't spare anyone who is lazy!" "Yes!" Yu Yu pulled the short soldier up to the nineteen-zhang city gate tower, and the two whispered on it from time to time, continuing the topic that had not been talked about just now, showing a smile from time to time.

......

Although the castle guard is a palace, it is actually a small palace complex, and behind this palace complex is a blue and yellow tower. Xu Yan squinted at the tower, because it was too far away, he couldn't feel if there were any monks who had entered the Qi Sea Realm like him here, but he intuitively felt that this tower was very dangerous, and this danger did not come from people, but from a building, this feeling was very strange.

Xu Yan hated this feeling of danger very much, and said in his heart, I am now in a heavy realm, and I am purely different from those mortal people, what do I have to take care of, this is just a mortal city, and who can stop me. Thinking of this, he took up the aura to protect himself, took out a light cyan talisman from his sleeve, and pasted it to the inside of the calf robe without hesitation, and tapped the ground with his toes, as if there was wind under his feet, and flew directly from the outer street of the palace group to the eaves of a small hall, and continued to jump lightly, and after a few clicks, he walked to the square in front of the largest palace in the center like a person from outside the sky, Xu Yan did not let those few refining corpses follow, he had another use.

The people in the streets were talking like ghosts. "This Taoist priest actually flew directly into the city guard mansion, what is his intention!" "Look at this body method, is it a first-class offering newly invited by the city guard mansion!"

There are two columns of silver-armored soldiers guarding the square, and the army is solemn, and it looks like a hundred elite soldiers. The leader of the silver-armored soldiers saw a green shadow leaping directly into the square from the outer hall, and thought that he had seen it wrong, but when he looked closely, it was a young Taoist priest in a cyan robe, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

When he saw that the Taoist priest had entered the square, he closed his eyes and became angry, and he saw that this Taoist priest was not like an ordinary person, and he did not dare to do it directly, so he divided dozens of silver-armored soldiers and stepped forward, shouting and asking: "Who is you!

Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the silver armor leader, and said with a smile: "I heard that the city guard of this city died of illness, and several deputy city guards competed for the position of the city guard, and sure enough, this square was heavily guarded. However, Poor Dao is not interested in this, give you a stick of incense time, and I want to see Deputy Cheng Shou Zhang. ”

The leader glanced at Xu Yan with a contemptuous smile, and snorted coldly: "There are too many people from all walks of life to visit Deputy Cheng Shou Zhang every day, and Deputy Cheng Shou Zhang is also what you want to see? I haven't cured you of trespassing yet!"

Xu Yan's eyes drooped, and he seemed to sigh lightly, and said: "Poor Dao didn't want to start killing, why can't you honestly do what Poor Dao said." ”

"Haha, there's something wrong with this Taoist priest, it doesn't look like it. "Neuropathic Taoist, I don't know where I learned the three-legged cat to climb over the wall, so I shouted to see the city guard, inexplicable!" Those silver-armored soldiers couldn't help laughing when they heard this, pointing and pointing, and the silver-armored leader also looked at Xu Yan with the eyes of an idiot.

Corpses everywhere, pieces of visceral flesh were scattered, red blood seeped the floor from the square, human intestines, broken arms, blood foam, spread all over the ground, and armor torn on the flesh and blood, all of which were indicative of the killing that had just taken place here.

In the middle of the square, a young Taoist priest wearing a cyan robe sat on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, his robe clean and spotless, as if he had never participated in this horrific killing.

The door of the big palace was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and several middle-aged men walked out, one of whom was the father of Zhang Yunling, Zhang Shouyuan. When a few people saw the scene in the square, they didn't react for a while, but several of them were people with exquisite thoughts, and after a little thought, they figured out the general reason, and instantly realized that the strength of this Taoist priest was terrifying. A white-faced middle-aged man hurriedly said: "This person trespassed into the city to defend the mansion and kill the Acropolis, don't care about this person's purpose first, it seems that this person is an innate master of martial arts!?

Zhang Shouyuan, who was walking in the middle between those few people, frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of coldness, and the momentum that could be touched by the innate realm of martial arts was suddenly released, and he forced him to look at the young Taoist priest who was sitting on the plate and said: "This little Taoist leader, why did he make a vain murder in my Guqing City Guarding Mansion? Even if the soldiers below have offended the Dao Chief, they can completely apologize, and the Dao Chief's killing is too cruel and ruthless, right?"

Several middle-aged people behind him also pressed further, and the white-faced middle-aged man said even more vigorously: "Although the Taoist is a congenital master of martial arts, don't bully me There is no one in the giant mountain!"

I saw that the handsome Taoist got up slowly, his eyes raised slightly, but he felt that his eyes were like cold stars, and his eyes were inexhaustibly cold. This person was expressionless, his cold eyes swept over several people, his eyes were slightly fixed on Zhang Shouyuan, and his thin lips said lightly: "Which is Deputy City Guard Zhang." ”

Zhang Shouyuan and the others saw that he was so indifferent and calm, but they didn't dare to act rashly, the blood and flesh on the ground were still there, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, which made people smell almost disgusting. That Zhang Shouyuan was also bold, and he still did not change his face in the face of an enemy who might be a great master of martial arts, but said slowly: "Contemptible Zhang, add one to the deputy city guard of Jushan." Could it be that Your Excellency came to kill Zhang for the sake of Zhang? Zhang asked himself, there is nothing that can attract the innate master of martial arts. ”

The young Taoist is Xu Yan's face suddenly melted like ice and snow melting, and the slight smile made the young man in the field even more attractive, and the white teeth reflected the vermilion lips, if it weren't for the Taoist robe on his body, I am afraid that he would be mistaken for a young handsome boy from a high-ranking official and noble.

Xu Yan chuckled, the Xuan Qi was slightly released, and the spiritual pressure of the Qi Sea Realm slightly pressed the few people opposite, and when he saw that the faces of several people had changed greatly, he smiled and said, "Poor Dao is here to ask Lord Zhang for a return." ”

Zhang Shouyuan felt the weight of his body, and secretly complained in his heart, this enemy's strength is unpredictable, and he can actually oppress our body in the air, what kind of demon method is this! Why haven't those offerings come yet, this delay is really not a good job. But he was an old fox, cunning, and reluctantly pulled out a smile and said: "Dare to ask the Taoist chief, what is the need? We are naturally willing to give it to the Taoist and form a good relationship with the Taoist chief, those city guards must have offended the Taoist chief, and they will die innocently, and they will die innocently." ”

"Yes, these soldiers under them are ignorant, and they really deserve to die if they offend the Dao Chief!" the white-faced middle-aged man also changed his attitude, and said with a slight flattery.

Xu Yan withdrew the more and more familiar aura under his control, and saw that a few people finally stood up straight, and then looked at Zhang Shouyuan and said, "Miss Ling must have just returned home a few days ago, I wonder if the legendary real Gathering Spirit Pill can be taken out for Xu Mou to see?"

What he said was ambiguous, others may not understand it, but how could Zhang Shouyuan not understand it? Zhang Shouyuan's body was shocked, and it was really because of this. As early as a few days ago, I heard a report from Deacon Wang that someone robbed the fake pill on the way back from escorting the young lady, and the real pill was not lost, and now it really came to the door.
