What a long way forward is clear Chapter 10 Seeking the skin of the tiger and giving away people's heads
Under the golden morning sun, two carriages slowly drove into the dense woods, and rays of sunlight flashed in front of them.
"You carry the burden, I lead the horse, usher in the sunrise and send away the sunset......"
Ji Ren held a short whip in his hand, leaned against the carriage, and gently whipped the horse.
Old Man Chen yawned extremely tiredly, "Ha...... After this forest, there is still an hour, and it should be there. ”
Ji Ren shouted, "Ah, are you sure? Are we going to Maoyi City?"
"Ouch, boy. Chen Laohan was suddenly frightened by him and was in good spirits. shouted, "It's almost here, do you want to rest for a while?"
The people in the front and rear carriages were woken up and stuck their heads out to look.
"It's coming. ”
"Soon to the town. ”
"Wow, the sun is so beautiful. ”
Shen Chong got out of the carriage and said, "Brother, let me come, it's really hard for you." ”
Ji Ren smiled: "Rest for a while, the horses are tired." ”
Shen Chong replied: "Okay, I'll let them replace the old man later." ”
Ji Ren nodded and went back to the back carriage to rest.
Little Monkey, Zhang Lian, and Jing Jue didn't dare to disturb him, and they tiptoed to anything, for fear of affecting his rest.
Shen Chong and the others asked Chen Laohan to go to the carriage to rest, and then they got together to discuss how to thank Ji Ren.
An hour later, just after a short time (a little past nine).
They drove the carriage into Maoyi City, and the pedestrians on the street immediately gave way when they saw that it was the clothes of the Elixir Gate.
Ji Ren sensed that the atmosphere outside was chaotic, so he withdrew from the practice, and immediately heard the noise of the downtown in his ears, lifted the curtain and looked out, the pedestrians were talking and laughing, full of enthusiasm.
"It's good, everyone is peaceful. ”
When the driving disciple saw him come out, he said gratefully, "Brother, thank you so much last night. If it weren't for you, I would have been split in half by them. ”
Ji Ren patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, don't care." Then he sat on the other side, watching the laughter of the passers-by and talking about family life.
The driving disciple said: "Brother, my name is Nian Cheng, they said that your name is Ji Ren, and in the future, I will call you eldest brother." ”
Ji Ren was happy and said with a smile: "Don't, if you don't dislike it, just call me Ji Ren." Senior Brother Nian!"
When Nian Cheng heard this, he was grateful. happily said: "Then I will be respectful and obey my fate, and wherever I can be used in the future, I will definitely go to the knife mountain......"
Ji Ren interrupted: "Brother Nian, calm down, calm down. In front of it is the entrance of the hall. ”
Shen Chong had just arrived at the entrance of the hall in the carriage, and without saying a word, he took out the sect token and shouted to the two disciples guarding the door: "Quickly report to Hall Master Peng and escort the disciples to arrive!"
When the disciples at the gate saw it, they rushed into the inner hall with serious faces.
Then, an obese uncle in his fifties hurriedly ran out.
Peng Yuan stretched out his hand and asked inside, and said, "It turned out to be an escort disciple, please come in." ”
Escorting disciples, that is, the special messengers of the Elixir Gate, have the right to mobilize and monitor the Elixir Hall when traveling, and they can cut it first and then play, and any consequences arising therefrom, as long as the situation is true, will not be investigated.
Shen Chong led them into the inner hall with a brisk pace, and Peng Yuan followed closely behind.
Shen Chong hugged his fists and said, "Peng Yuan, Master Peng." The bandits and bandits in the area of Pingshan Road are extremely rampant, why don't you see anyone going to clear them?!"
There is anger and questioning in the words.
Peng Yuan is also an old Jianghu, hearing this, he looked at them carefully, and sighed in his heart. Surprised: "What? bandits, how is this possible, I only inquired about the situation over there two days ago, and the people below told me that there was no abnormality." In this case, I will arrange your living first, and come here!"
Shen Chong waved his hand and said coldly: "Slow! As the master of the Elixir Hall, he is in charge of the safety of the surrounding area, and now that there are bandits and bandits, what crime should you be guilty of?!"
Peng Yuan suddenly resigned, and cried: "It's really not, I only asked about the situation over there the day before yesterday, this is definitely a thief who only appeared yesterday!"
Ji Ren stood aside and took a closer look, and found that this Peng Yuan really didn't look like he was lying, but from his breath, it was still wrong.
Moreover, as long as this person insists that he doesn't know about this matter, even if Shen Chong is angry, he will hardly make a move against him.
"Senior Brother Shen, since the hall master said that he has seen it, why don't you let him investigate this matter thoroughly?"
Shen Chong glanced back and nodded, "Okay." However, I hope that tomorrow morning we will meet the fleeing bandits, all of whom are good at drawing bows and arrows. Be careful!"
Peng Yuangang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately brought it up again. said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes...... Come on, arrange the outfits, and all the good wine and meat are served. After finishing speaking, he still left with a bitter face.
When he reached a place where no one was around, his face immediately turned gloomy. "This group of idiots, the house robbery has all come to the head of my elixir door. ”
......
......
In the library on the top floor of the Elixir Hall, Peng Yuan released the carrier pigeon in his hand expressionlessly.
Downstairs, however, the guests were greeted enthusiastically, with a table full of good dishes and a few jars of good wine next to them.
Shen Chong picked up the wine glass, he had to pay tribute to Ji Ren, then Ji Ren had to have a drink with them, and immediately felt that the world was spinning, and after a few sips of wine, he went back to the room in a daze.
"Vomit ......"
Ji Ren held a basin and spit out in confusion.
Then lying on the bed, running Yuan Qi walked Zhou Tian, and after forcing out the alcohol, he was much more sober.
"I'm my mother, this thing is wine!"
Xian Lingzi said regretfully: "Your amount of alcohol is too bad." ”
Ji Ren climbed up, opened the window, and let the wind blow his face.
"I'm not the kind of person who likes to touch a little bit of everything, and it's just a matter of wine. ”
Xian Lingzi said: "The man can't drink enough, he can't say it." ”
Ji Ren said: "I can melt it, it won't be intoxicating anyway." ”
Immediately, he looked at the people on the street with serious eyes.
"There is a murderous aura, where is it!"
Xian Lingzi stood beside him, pointed to the inn in front of him, and said, "Then, do you see?"
Ji Ren's eyes lit up, and his gaze swept towards the inn, locking on a window on the third floor. said, "I see." ”
Xian Lingzi stretched, "Okay, don't look at it." I'll go out for a spin, you should hurry up and practice. "Turned around and turned into a speck of dust, drifting away with the wind.
Ji Renleng paused, "Okay." ”
He then closed the window and lay down on the bed.
The ancient scriptures in the sea of knowledge evolve the nature of heaven and earth on their own, and Ji Ren walks around at will, perceives, and does anything in it. As long as he is here, the Yuan Qi in his body will operate on its own, and the aura of heaven and earth will also be naturally absorbed by his body, refining into mana and storing it in the dantian.
And he was also in this carriage for a month, remembering the trajectory of the meridians in his body. If it is determined by the exercises, he can now be said to have the exercises to practice.
It's just that whenever he wants to use it as an exercise, he has a dangerous intuition in his heart.
After three times and two times, he had no choice but to give up.
Shen Chong and Nian Cheng downstairs didn't drink much, and when they reached a certain amount, they all went back to rest.
......
......
Late at night.
As soon as Zishi arrived, in a big mountain outside the city of Maoyi, more than a dozen bound people knelt on the ground side by side.
A row of shirtless men stood behind them with large knives, and on the side was a fierce man in his forties, with strong muscles that could not be covered by his clothes, and two jade stones in his hands.
Xu Wei said with emotion: "Third child, what a behemoth the Elixir Gate is, you and I don't know. But you are too bold, you dare to rob this, and before you succeeded, you killed a lot of my people. happened to meet Peng Yuan, an old fox, who urgently needed someone to take the blame, so I had no choice but to cut my love. After speaking, he waved his hand.
The shirtless man clenched the big knife in both hands and slowly lifted it up.
Xu Jian said in horror: "Big brother, I was wrong, let me go, I will definitely ......"
Click!
Xu Wei closed his eyes and said with pity: "Don't worry, the eldest brother will avenge you." He immediately patted the others and turned to leave.
The others didn't seem to be surprised, and took out the sack very calmly......
The next morning, a large wooden box half a meter high lay conspicuously in the inner hall.
Maybe it's not tight underneath, and the dried blood remains on it.
Peng Yuan nodded and invited them over, saying that he wanted to give them an explanation.
Ji Ren followed Shen Chong and came to the front of the wooden box, and a stream of blood rushed towards them.
The little monkey, Zhang Lian, Lao Han, and Jing Jue almost vomited when they heard it.
Peng Yuan said: "Please also open it and see if it is the thief the night before yesterday." ”
Shen Chong wanted to step forward and open it, but Ji Ren pressed his shoulder and shook his head.
Shen Chong thought for a while, hugged his fists and said, "No need, Hall Master Peng is doing a good job." When I go back this time, I will report to my own sect and let it be rewarded. ”
Peng Yuan was flattered and said: "No, no, no, how dare you ask for credit for the things that are within your account, but it is good to ask for no fault." ”
Shen Chong nodded, clenched his fists and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go back first and say goodbye!" After finishing speaking, he led everyone out of the Elixir Hall and got into the carriage.
"Driving ......"
Peng Yuan hugged his fists and sent him off, with a smile on his face. When he waited for the carriage to go away, his expression became a little meaningful.
"When did the escort disciples listen to others, is it really as they said, this kid named Ji Ren is indeed deeply hidden. ”
On the city wall, Xu Wei played with the jade and watched the carriage slowly move away.
"Ji Ren, it's kind of interesting. ”
After only one night, they got some information about Ji Ren, which I have to say was really interesting.
Ji Ren sat outside the carriage and patted his thigh in boredom.
Chen Laohan on the side smiled and said, "You are so powerful, why do you only sign up to be an outer disciple." ”
Ji Ren took the whip in his hand, patted the horse, and said, "If you don't sign up to be an outer disciple, can you still be an inner disciple directly?"
Chen Laohan smiled awkwardly, stretched out a thumbs up, and said, "I think it's okay, after all, you are so strong." ”
Ji Ren smiled: "No, no, it's a little better than your sycophant kung fu." ”
Chen Laohan smiled: "you." ”
