Dingshu, located in the northwest corner of Kyushu, has a very special topography, one-third is a mountain range, one-third is a grassland, and the remaining one-third is a desert.

This part of the desert, in the far west of Dingzhou, is the main access to the Western Regions.

However, it is not a conduit for business, but for war.

Even if there is a desert, it still cannot stop the invasion of Western barbarians.

Because of the perennial war with the barbarians in the west, the edge of the desert is full of fortresses and formations.

In one of the fortresses with lightning flags, a young man in metal armor rode a horse also wearing metal armor, and led a team of cavalry wearing similar styles of armor to patrol outside in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After the young man at the head dismounted, he carried a vivid pigeon made of metal in his hand, ran to the martial arts training ground in high spirits, and shouted at the middle-aged man who was practicing boxing: "Father, guess what I accidentally found when I was patrolling outside today?"

The middle-aged man didn't bother to pay attention to this young man at all, and still took care of his own punches.

The young man didn't care, regardless of whether the middle-aged man answered or not, he continued: "Father, you would never have thought of it, oh yes...... Father, what is this?"

The middle-aged man glanced at it with his peripheral vision, suddenly stopped boxing, frowned, and took the metal pigeon in the other party's hand before leaving, and looked at it.

The young man felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw that he had interrupted his father's boxing practice all of a sudden, and laughed proudly: "This is definitely a puppet creation of our Lei Tang Clan, but, looking at this style, this internal structure should be a work from three or four hundred years ago." Gee...... This is an old antique, but I didn't expect it to survive now, and it is so well preserved. ”

The middle-aged man asked solemnly, "Where did you come from?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully: "When I was patrolling, I picked it up from the outside? At that time, this pigeon could no longer fly, so I could only crawl slowly on the ground, and I sensed the fluctuations of the Yuan Force unique to our Thunder Tang Clan, so I turned a corner, took a long detour, and picked it up." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man again: "Did you change the route without authorization during the patrol?"

Young people can't wait to slap themselves in the mouth, why are they so stupid and don't admit themselves?

"That is the territory of the werewolves, and it is just an alliance with us, not a ...... all the way" Before the middle-aged man could speak, the young man pouted, and couldn't help but take the words and said loudly: "I know, I know, if it is not my race, its heart must be different, how many times have you said it, it is a cliché, but the fact is that in the three hundred years of our alliance, werewolves have always been very well-behaved, but on the contrary, most of the other exorcist families on our side are unruly and have repeatedly violated our interests." Father, I don't think you should continue to give in like this, we should ......"

The young man wanted to say something, but looking at his father, whose face was pale, his voice became smaller and quieter, and finally his voice became inaudible.

The middle-aged man glanced at him dissatisfied, then looked down at the metal pigeon in his hand and said, "This should be the transmission bird that we divided into a few branches that could not be cultivated to ask for help from the main vein three or four hundred years ago. ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "The skills of the past are not as good as now, and they can only make low-flying communication puppets, among which the pigeon form is the most mature skill, so what is left for them is this type of puppet." ”

"The branch veins that were separated three or four hundred years ago? Oh? It's the branch veins that were divided before the Dingzhou War, that's really a long time, ordinary people's words, it's dozens of generations, right?"

Although exorcists and martial artists can't live long like werewolves, blood demons and other xenomorphs, and they are often hundreds or thousands of years old, they can still live to be hundreds of years old, while it is difficult for ordinary people, and there are only a few who live to be seventy years old.

The middle-aged man glared at the young man angrily and reprimanded: "No matter how long ago it is, it is still our clansmen! Blood is thicker than water! Since they have sent a message for help, it means that they are in danger, and we must naturally pay attention to it and come to the rescue!"

After speaking, a thunderbolt appeared in the middle-aged man's hand and hit the puppet.

This communication puppet is specially designed to take care of the clansmen who have not cultivated, and when the information is entered, it does not need the exclusive Yuan Force of the Lei Clan, but when reading the information inside, it needs the exclusive Yuan Force of the Lei Clan, as well as the technique, otherwise you will not be able to get the information inside at all.

"Yuyang, Yun's, Shadow Demon, help, July 20th. ”

When the young man heard this, he was very surprised: "July 20? Today is August 20, it's been a month, why has it been used for so long? Is the technique of three or four hundred years ago so bad? Is it still too late?"

The middle-aged man checked the puppet pigeon and said, "This puppet is too old, and it has not been overhauled due to improper storage, but it can be started and fly to Dingzhou, I think it is a miracle." ”

It's only been a month, it's really too long, if the will of this clan is not strong enough, I'm afraid it's already too late, and it has been controlled by the Shadow Demon, and it can't be saved.

However, since they have received a distress letter, no matter what, they must be rescued, which is related to the glory of their Lei clan and is a matter of principle.

When the middle-aged man was thinking about who to let go on this trip, the young man who knew his father very well rolled his eyes, and immediately raised his hand and said: "Father, I found this puppet, which means that I have a relationship with it, if you can't find a candidate for a while, let me go." ”

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, don't you just want to run out of the clouds to play?"

As if he had been greatly insulted, the young man cried out: "Father, how can you slander your son like this? This is unfair to me! This is discrimination! How can I not come out of morality to rescue people of my own race who are in distress? Father, you must apologize to me!"

The middle-aged man didn't bother to pay attention to him, snorted coldly, thought of someone, and said: "You go and send a message to Lei Xian, who is in charge of traveling to Kyushu and secretly eliminating demons, and ask him to go to Yuyang County to see how the Yun family is doing now, we must give someone an explanation for this matter." ”

The young man replied helplessly: "Yes, father." ”

After leaving the martial arts training ground, the young man rolled his eyes, smiled, and whispered to himself: "Father only said that I should be summoned, but in any way? It is okay to use the summons puppet, and I can summon the summons myself! Well, it is decided! I am faithfully carrying out my father's orders!"

The young man trotted all the way up to the top of the fortress, and after repelling the guards, he got on the flying puppet, drove it to his feet, flew into the clouds, and disappeared in a moment.

The middle-aged man in the martial arts training ground looked at the big metal bird that rose into the sky, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Sure enough, as I expected!"

Looking at the guard who jumped from the top and pleaded with him, he waved his hand and said, "It's my order, it's not your dereliction of duty, go down." ”

The middle-aged man held a metal pigeon in one hand, gently stroked a metal token, and muttered: "Ming'er, there is Xian'er, your safety should be no problem, just right, you are also an adult, you need to experience it on the land of Kyushu, I hope this experience can change your previous naïve thoughts." ”

The middle-aged man sighed, threw the metal pigeon to the guards waiting outside, and said, "Put it away and keep it." ”

After saying that, he continued the cultivation that had been interrupted just now.

......

......

At night, an underground tavern in the town of Yuyang is the seat of a branch set up in Yuyang County, where the underground bounty club with influence all over Kyushu is located.

On this night, a hefty bounty suddenly reached the top, attracting the attention of these lawless bounty hunters.

“

Mission: Kill the young master who is plotting against the Hakka Yunfu.

Notes: This man's strength is unfathomable, and his power is extraordinary.

Grade: Grade 3A.

Bounty: 10,000 taels of gold. ”

This quest immediately attracted the attention of countless bounty hunters, and the tavern suddenly resounded with the sound of talk about this quest.

"Damn, the mission of the third grade, how long has it been since we Yuyang appeared?"

"Yun Mansion? Is it the Yun Mansion of the Yun Clan's Commercial Bank? No wonder you can't take out 10,000 taels of gold, tsk...... What a big deal!"

"Young Master Cousin, is it the young man surnamed Ji? I look quite gentle, I don't look like a strong martial artist!"

"In the past month, there have been people in black fighting around Yunfu every night, I think it was Yun Zhe's counterattack, but it was just ...... It seems that Yun Zhe is at a disadvantage......!

"The Yun family is also a famous business house in our Yuyang, although it is not in the same circle as us, but Yun Zhe's name, I have also heard of it, is a very famous businessman, tsk...... I didn't expect to be targeted? But Yun Zhe can open the Yun family business all over Kyushu, and he is not a master to be messed with, do you know which force it is? It is so powerful? Yun Zhe has been forced to send a third-class task from the Dijin Institute. ”

"If this is a martial arts family that is eyeing the Yun family, no matter how high the bounty is, I don't dare to accept it. "Worry-free

"It shouldn't be a martial arts family, if it involves a martial arts family, Dijin will show it. ”

"The third-class mission, if it doesn't involve the martial arts world, it involves ...... Is that a thing?" seemed to be taboo, but the other party didn't say it.

"Tsk...... It should be. Ordinary people encounter this thing, or they will find a way to solve it themselves, if they can't find a way, they can only find a bounty and solve it with a lot of money. ”

"Hehe, as if you can fix it. That thing, it's not an exorcist, and without the strength of a martial arts master, it's impossible if you want to complete the task!"

"The third-class mission is not something that we bounty hunters below the first rank can touch, what is there to argue, drink, come, drink. ”

"You can't touch it, but you can watch it! This is a third-class mission, we Yuyang, how many years will we only meet once!"

"What, listen to your tone, do you want to go to the vicinity of Yunfu to watch onlookers?"

"Why, don't you think so?"

"Hmph, I hope you have a life to go, and you have a life to return! Onlookers? Not everything can be watched, that's a taboo existence, be careful not to know how you will die when the time comes. ”

"Hmph, I don't have to worry about my business!

......

......

In the middle of the night, Giventon was woken up by a man in black who informed him of the news from Dijin.

"Huh...... This is Yun Zhe's last resort, right? Sure enough, in the end, he chose to borrow the power of the Land Finance Institute to deal with me...... Hmph!"

Yun Zhe's means, but that's it!

However, it is also true that an ordinary person, a businessman who is not bad for money, can only use such means when he encounters such a thing.

Before, he was afraid that such a thing would happen, and the dead soldiers under his command specially blocked it, and it was clear that the dead soldiers on the other side had been blocked, how could they still ...... It seems that Yun Zhe used other hidden means.

Sure enough, it's a fierce rival!

Thousands of precautions, but in the end it still didn't work!

In that case, let's have a good fight!

"Dijin ......" Ji Fan didn't know what he thought, and gritted his teeth and said: "In the past, I listened to the words of my elders and didn't want to touch you, since you came to the door, let's have a good time!"

Givenan pondered for a moment, whispered orders to the man in black, and began to prepare for the bounty hunters who could appear at any time.

......

......

At the darkest hour before dawn, a big metal bird landed outside the city of Yuyang County, and after hiding the big metal bird, Lei Xian and Lei Ming followed the caravan that missed the time to enter the city yesterday and the small traders in nearby villages and towns who sold firewood or breakfast, as well as pedestrians for various reasons, entered Yuyang County.

No matter how dark it is, it won't hinder the exorcist Lei Ming, his eyes flashed with a blue faint light, he looked around, and said in surprise: "Is this the hinterland of the Central Plains? It's really peaceful!"

Lei Xian coughed dryly and said, "Cousin, if you take the pupil technique, you see, you have scared the pedestrians around!"

Lei Ming glanced around and muttered: "People in the middle hinterland are really rare and strange!"

Although reluctantly, he put away the pupil technique.

He also doesn't want to be watched like a monster, and at the same time, he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and Lei Ming has a handle in Lei Xian's hands, and he agreed before that this trip to Yuyang will listen to Lei Xian's command throughout the whole trip.

This has not started yet, and Lei Ming is naturally unwilling to break the previous agreement.

"Where are we going? Go directly to Yunfu?" asked Lei Ming curiously.

Lei Xian shook his head and said, "No, let's go to a place first, and then decide on the next move." ”

"Where?"

"Dijin. ”

"What kind of place is this?"

"This is an organization of bounty hunters all over Kyushu that we have founded, together with our exorcists and martial arts families. Lei Xian took out a token from his arms, handed it to Lei Ming, and explained to him: "It is our intelligence and logistics support when we exorcise demons. ”

Only then did Lei Ming understand that it turned out that they had been prepared for a long time.

"Are there still blood demons and shadow demons in Kyushu? Didn't we all drive them out of Kyushu three or four hundred years ago, blocking them from the externalized places of the West outside of Dingzhou?"

"That's the majority, especially the high-level blood demons and shadow demons, in fact, there has always been a small number of mid-level and low-level blood demons and shadow demons, still hidden in the land of Kyushu, and they have never stopped their activities for three or four hundred years. It's just that they are hidden, and it is too difficult to find them in the vast sea of people. ”

Lei Xian sighed helplessly, and continued: "Moreover, our main forces are concentrated in Dingzhou, dealing with the counterattack of the Blood Demon and the Shadow Demon at any time, and we don't have the energy to deal with this small group of Blood Demon and Shadow Demon at all. ”

In the end, he concluded: "Therefore, the encirclement and suppression of them can only be used to train newcomers, as well as the power of mobilizing the declining exorcists and werewolves scattered all over the country, as well as the martial arts masters, and the scattered cultivators who coincidentally became exorcists scattered all over the place!"

"I see!" Lei Ming knew that these secrets that he couldn't usually touch.

Under the leadership of Lei Xian, the two quickly found the underground tavern.

"Huh, I didn't expect that our target Yun Mansion turned out to be the famous merchant family behind the Yun Clan's trading house, Yun Zhe? I didn't expect that he could break through the blockade of the Shadow Demon and pass the news to the Dijin Institute? An ordinary person can hold on for a month, this willpower is really admirable!" After Lei Xian read the information, he said to Lei Ming with a smile: "Cousin, it's better to come early than to come by chance." We're just in time, and by the way, we can take on a task and make a lot of extra money. ”

As he spoke, the person in charge of Chong here, an exorcist from a casual cultivation, said that they had taken over the task.

The exorcist, who was born in casual cultivation, reluctantly gave this task to the Lei brothers.

That's 10,000 taels of gold!

His heart is dripping blood!

After the person in charge of this place went out, Lei Ming said helplessly to Lei Xian: "Cousin, don't make trouble, my father asked us to rescue the branch, and we must not accept this money, otherwise, if my father knows, he will definitely think that I am ignorant and bewitching you...... Cousin, I'm going to be killed!"

Lei Xian laughed after hearing this, and said as he got up and walked out: "Don't tease you, it's dawn, let's go, and complete the task given to us by our uncle as soon as possible." ”

Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Cousin, wait for me." ”

Saying that, Lei Ming got up quickly, caught up with Lei Xian, and walked towards the direction of Yunfu in the west of the city with the rising sun......

Yunfu, Ji Fan looked at the rising sun, the shadow behind him became longer and longer, the shadow was reflected on the door behind him, the shadow seemed to have become a snake and came over, and got into it through the crack in the door, and soon after, Yun Zhe opened the door neatly dressed and saluted to Ji Fan respectfully: "I have seen the master." ”

"Let's go, today, go to the restaurant, Yun Yan is also coming, she overheard our conversation yesterday, plus the Dijin Institute, tsk...... Today must be a very lively day!" Givenan opened his hands, faced the rising sun, made a gesture of embracing the sun, and sighed softly.

Yun Zhe responded with a smile: "The shadow demon controls the day, the blood demon controls the night, the master is in the daytime, he is an invincible existence, and the master will win!"

Ji Fan turned his head, and under the backlight, Yun Zhe couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and could only hear the other party's voice like a valley, which sounded in his ears: "Borrow your auspicious words, my most loyal, shadow servant!"
