The bustling Jincheng was already full of people in the morning, Yunluo pushed a wheelbarrow and walked calmly on the street, passing left and right, and came to a small vegetable market.

At a stall, a vegetable vendor waved at Yunluo from afar, and when Yunluo approached, he complained: "Brother Yun, why are you late today, you will miss it if you are too late." He hurriedly began to carry vegetables to the wheelbarrow.

At the moment when he lowered his head, he whispered: "Brother Cen is waiting for you behind the curtain." ”

Yunluo hurriedly confessed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got up late, I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn't even bother to take a sip of water, does Second Brother Wang have water?"

The greengrocer gave him a disgusted look and pouted at the curtain behind the stall. Yunluo lifted the curtain and walked in.

Behind the curtain was a small space, just the size of a bed, with a small table and two small stools, and a bearded man dressed in black was already sitting there.

Seeing Yunluo, the beard nodded, "Si Wencao's people went to you?"

Yunluo said in a low voice: "Wei Hongyi." ”

The beard said: "That Qingyi girl doesn't know, and the rouge gouache has been changed for a month and thirteen days, so I can't find out." ”

After speaking, he looked at Yunluo again, "I really admire you, not only did you dare to kill Zhang Chunfeng, but you really did it, and you can come up with such a genius method." ”

Yunluo smiled, "Without Brother Cen's cooperation, I can't do anything." ”

The bearded man, named Cen Wuxin, shook his head, "Without me, you can come up with another way." ”

Yunluo's method of death for Zhang Chunfeng was sudden cardiac arrest, which is called so in the book anyway, which was an anonymous pamphlet he accidentally found in that bookstore, saying that the human heart may stop beating in the case of excessive excitement and stimulation.

So he experimented on some animals and confirmed this statement.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Yunluo successively designed three kinds of objects with strong excitement and stimulation, put one in the rouge gouache of the girl who was good to Zhang Chunfeng, put one in the incense in the inner room, and chose the best quality among the vegetables sent and put the third one, each of which alone is actually common.

The three are indispensable, but the only one who can hit these three at the same time is that Zhang Chunfeng.

Yunluo observed Zhang Chunfeng, for three months, he had never taken others to that beef noodle restaurant, and he had already sent dishes to this noodle restaurant for six months before that.

This is what makes Cen Wuxin admire, the layout is far-reaching, the planning is fine, and the time is right.

Cen Wuxin said again: "I don't care why you want to kill a big man high in the clouds, but you have to protect yourself." ”

Yunluo nodded, his heart was warm, this is a brother, a brother who has died.

Two years ago, in a gang dispute, Cen Wuxin was betrayed by the people around him, was besieged and killed, and escaped with injuries, it was Yunluo who passed by and carried him to a safe place at great risk, and in the following time, he repeatedly helped him analyze the situation and give advice, so that his power expanded rapidly, and gradually became a figure in the underground of Jincheng.

Cen Wuxin didn't think that together with Yunluo, brothers would work together to create a great cause.

But Yunluo's ambition is not here after all, his ambition is in another place.

Saying goodbye to Cen Wuxin, Yunluo pushed the wheelbarrow and walked to the destination of the trip, an old courtyard, although old, but the layout is very elegant, there are two old people living in it, a master and a servant, Yunluo knocked on the door and waited quietly at the door.

After a while, an old man with black hair slowly came over and opened the door, saw Yunluo, and nodded.

Yunluo took off the vegetable basket from the wheelbarrow and picked it up, and followed the old man in.

In the small courtyard, another gray-haired old man lay leisurely on a rattan chair, and after Yunluo moved his things out of the kitchen, he gently pointed to the seat next to him.

Yunluo sat down obediently, with respect and envy in his eyes.

Because this old man is a cultivator!

Because this old man is his master!

Many years ago, Yunluo, who was still young and more down-and-out than now, met this old man by chance, and the old man lamented his fate, so he taught him some martial arts and pointed out the direction of his life.

"I didn't expect you to do the second task so quickly. There was a hint of appreciation in the old man's words.

Yunluo was not proud, "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety." ”

The old man nodded, "With this kind of heart, if you can really complete these three tasks, I will definitely let you embark on the path of cultivation as promised." ”

Yunluo looked at the old man, "My dantian problem?"

The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "Little things." ”

A hint of excitement flashed across Yunluo's face, and in an instant, he returned to calm.

The old man asked, "Why are you so obsessed with becoming a cultivator?"

Yunluo's face darkened, remembering the nightmare he often had, a very elegant uncle hugged him, the atmosphere was warm and sweet, in an instant, the sword light that rushed to the sky fell from the sky, and his eyes were dark and unconscious.

He wanted to find out who the person holding him was, was it his father, who cut down that sword light, and what did it have to do with him?

The old man was not reluctant, and took out a note, "This is the information I got at a great cost, just read it here, and return it to me after reading it." ”

Yunluo took it with both hands, took a closer look, was overjoyed, and after seeing it, he stood up and bowed respectfully to the old man three times.

He had no doubts about the veracity of the intelligence.

Pushing the cart, Yunluo walked down the street, his steps firm and fast.

Bustling all around, a lonely and dilapidated teenager struggled to move forward towards what he wanted in his heart.

An orphan has to support another orphan, needless to say, life is difficult, so Yunluo has a lot of work, delivering food is his main and most stable income, and going to Shengxian Lake City every two days to ferry is a good opportunity for him to make a windfall.

Shengxian Lake, named after the Shengxian Bridge, legend has it that there are immortals who fly up in this daytime, so there are many practitioners who come here to pay homage or look for opportunities, so they have the intention to sell pills, exercises and other things prohibited by the imperial court on the boat under the bridge, but the imperial court has not seen it, and the business is naturally better.

As soon as the business was good, the flow of people and boats slowly gathered, and there were many blockages in the river, so the government simply dug the river channel and introduced the river water into the artificial lake next to it, named Shengxian Lake, and drove these people to the lake.

Therefore, for Shengxian Lake City, which sells all forbidden items from the imperial court, the attitude of the imperial court is very intriguing.

After many years, the lake has become densely packed with boats, leaving only some narrow and vertical boat walkways, and the banks are scattered and crowded bamboo houses or stilted bamboo buildings, making it the largest trading market for practitioners in the southwest.

So those who went to Shengxian Lake City were very generous.

Thinking of this, Yunluo's mood became a little happy;

Thinking of the information that Master had given him, and the thought that he would be able to complete the third task today, his mood was even happier;

Under his feet, he still walked smoothly towards Shengxian Lake City.

Passing through the rows of shacks, Yunluo greeted the people in some houses from time to time, and came to an inconspicuous small awning boat on the lake, the curtain of the cabin door was covered with oil, which made the whole curtain stiff and heavy, Yunluo opened the curtain and walked in, and a man dressed in black pulled the corners of his mouth at him, which was a smile.

Yunluo shook his head, "You can't find someone to clean up." ”

"It doesn't matter if someone else isn't here. As he spoke, the man in black took out an oiled paper bag and handed it to Yunluo.

Yunluo took it and opened it, and a bright dagger flashed with cold light, and it looked very sharp.

He shook the oiled paper bag in his hand, "Thank you." ”

The man in black shook his head, "We don't need to have a friend between us, it's rare for me to have a friend." ”

Yunqi smiled, "I just thank you for knowing that you took something and wrapped it up and didn't get me dirty." ”

The man in black sighed, "You see, so we can be friends. ”

He never asked Yunluo what he was going to do with this dagger, because he believed that Yunluo would be able to handle the whole thing.

What's more, even if it is not handled well, it doesn't matter.

Stepping out of the boat, Yunluo walked to another boat and waited quietly.

He knew that the person who had to wait would come tonight.

Forty-five-year-old Pan Chonglou walked out of the palace gate, walked steadily, and sat in the carriage that had been waiting outside the palace gate, his face like a spring breeze.

As the nominal No. 3 person in Shu, although he has no real power over the years, he has lived a very comfortable life, with fine clothes and food, wine and beautiful women, and he has also thought about growing old in this flowery, leisurely and comfortable Shu land like this.

He never thought that God would be so kind to him, just six months ago, when he fell asleep while flipping through a book of cultivation exercises that he bought at some unknown time in his library, he coincidentally attracted the vitality of heaven and earth into his body, successfully refining his body, and thus entered the ranks of cultivators.

The world immediately became different, he felt that he had become younger and more energetic, and the fire of ambition that had long been extinguished in his heart was blown and reborn, so he tried his best to seek to transfer back to Tianjing, the capital of the dynasty, and the order had arrived, and he had just resigned from the king of Shu and the prime minister, and he was going to leave for Tianjing tomorrow.

In Tianjing City, he can get more resources and help, so that he can get closer to the power center of the Daduan Dynasty, provided that he is worthy of help and promotion.

So he was going to Shengxian Lake City tonight, and he was going to buy the Qi Gathering Pill, and he would strive to let himself quietly break through to the second realm on the way back.

Practicing the Nine Realms, refining the body, gathering qi, condensing the yuan, divine will, communicating the mysteries, knowing the fate, asking the heavens, joining the way, and the heavenly people are immortal.

As the name suggests, this Qi Gathering Pill is an elixir that allows cultivators in the First Realm Refining Body Realm to gather vitality faster and enter the Second Realm Qi Gathering Realm. On the path of cultivation, pills like this with direct and obvious effects have always been in short supply, and the price is expensive, but Taifu Pan has never been short of money.

The sunset fell weakly down the mountain, the night gradually came, Pan Chonglou retreated left and right, and quietly walked out of his home, he was cautious all his life, he would never rashly tell others such news, and it was this kind of caution that he was able to seize the opportunity to leap into the dragon gate many years ago.

Just like this time when he went to Shengxian Lake City, he had already taken his entourage to visit several times in a public capacity, and his mouth was still full of the mess, disorder and arrogance here.

He has a skill that he has always been proud of, and he never forgets it. Therefore, the masked he was able to walk to a stilted building at this time, this is a tailor shop, Pan Chonglou walked in without hesitation, the shopkeeper is an old man, he didn't care when he saw this masked man, in this Shengxian Lake City, there are more masked robes, after Pan Chonglou explained his intentions, he pointed to a boat on the water downstairs, turned around and walked into the shop.

After a while, Pan Chonglou walked out of the boat, his face was calm, he was used to being cautious, according to the route that had already been stepped on, he got on a ferryboat, he wanted to sit on the other side of the lake, and then change the route from there, and go home from the other side, and never let people know that he had been to Shengxian Lake City tonight.

Lifting the curtain and seeing that it was still the little boatman who stepped on the spot before, he really put a heart into his heart, closed his eyes and began to recuperate, suddenly his brows furrowed, and found that the boat did not follow the original route towards the opposite bank, and asked without moving: "Little brother, has the route in and out of the lake been changed in the past few days?"

The little brother hurriedly hummed, "No, there are two big ships in front of me to unload today, blocking the original road, so I have to go around." Don't worry, I won't charge you more. ”

Pan Chonglou stopped speaking and continued to close his eyes and rest.

The boat moved silently in the lake, and gradually came to a secluded place on the edge of the lake.

Pan Chonglou's eyes opened, and a look of alertness suddenly appeared on his face, but he saw the boatman brother turn his head and smile at himself: "It's late." ”

Pan Chonglou remained silent, "Who are you?"

He didn't run away directly, his whereabouts, his cultivation, he didn't want to be exposed.

The boatman's little brother is naturally Yunluo, he didn't answer, he didn't know where to conjure a sharp blade in his hand and stabbed at Pan Chonglou, an ordinary stab, but in Pan Chonglou's opinion, there were all kinds of changes, sealing all his routes, giving birth to a sense of inescapability.

But at this moment, Pan Chonglou suddenly smiled, because at this moment he found out that Yunluo was not a cultivator, if it was in the past, he would definitely die here, but now it is different, he is a cultivator.

But this hairy boy who doesn't know how to practice dares to assassinate himself? As soon as he thought of this, he was cautious all his life, and he just poked Yunluo's shoulder with a light finger, focusing all his attention on the assassin who might suddenly rush out from the bottom of the ship, in the water, and from the side.

The slight movement of his fingers brought a circle of vitality to vibrate, Pan Chonglou was satisfied with his masterpiece, flicking his fingers and hurting the enemy, swaying freely, this is a cultivator, but in the next moment, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

Yunluo didn't dodge or dodge, let the fingertips point on his shoulder, piercing the flesh and hurting the shoulder bone, he snorted, his body involuntarily stepped back to the side, the soles of his feet stepped heavily on the plank, and the hull of the boat sank, but his left hand conjured up a dagger again, and pierced Pan Chonglou's abdomen at an incredible angle.

Pan Chonglou looked at his abdomen in disbelief, the blood was pouring outward, and the most important thing was that Yunluo's blow shattered one of his knots with extreme accuracy, and there was actually a Yuan Qi damage attached to the dagger, and he felt that his life was slowly fading away like a small amount of true qi on his body.

He regretted it very much, regretting that he didn't use all his strength to kill this young man who couldn't practice in the first place.

Yunluo spat at the blood foam, drooped his right shoulder, and without saying much, he picked up the dagger in his right hand from the ground, and was about to bear the fruit of Taifu Pan.

It is often written in the script that the villain dies from talking too much.

However, the reason why cultivators can become the top existence in this world is that they can do many things beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Pan Chonglou condensed the few remaining true qi, trembling and slapping a palm towards Yunluo, his hand kept trembling, as if he was about to fall in the next moment, if it was a martial arts competition, such a move would make people laugh off his big teeth, but he was a cultivator.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi shook and condensed, and an illusory big hand directly imprinted towards the face door of Yunluo.

There is no way to avoid it.

Yunluo truly comprehended the power and terrifyingness of cultivators, and also strengthened his determination to become a cultivator.

The premise is that he can survive this level.

Bet!

Yunluo didn't hide at all, handed the dagger to his left hand, and threw it towards Pan Chonglou.

Yunluo closed his eyes, only to feel the breeze blowing on his face, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi lost control, became docile and amiable again, and dissipated into the Heaven and Earth.

Pan Chonglou had a dagger stuck in his throat and was already dead of anger.

Dragging his injured shoulder, Yunluo tied Pan's body to a stone and sank it to the bottom of the lake.

After cleaning up, he propped up the boat to one place, took out a cloak from the boat, draped it over his body, and stepped into the boat of the man in black.

"Brother Cao, pay you back. With his left hand, Yunluo handed back the dagger that could inflict vitality damage to the man in black.

The man in black, surnamed Cao, is known as Yelai.

Cao Yelai casually put it on the table, "Treat the injury first." ”

After looking at it, fortunately the bone was not broken, but it was misplaced, and after a simple uprightness, the wound was powdered and then bandaged.

Cao Yelai's technique was very good, and Yunluo could barely see the injury on his shoulder after changing into a clean shirt.

Cao Yelai said suddenly: "That's the Taifu of Shu Kingdom, there is really you." ”

Yunluo paused suddenly, looked at Cao Yelai, and then smiled again, "That's why it's so miserable." ”

He believed that Cao Ye was coming.

Cao Yelai said lightly: "You are too anxious, this time the planning is too poor, if I don't help you cover up, maybe everyone will know about it." ”

Yunluo nodded silently, and Da En remembered it.

Cao Yelai sighed and patted Yunluo's left shoulder, "Go back, I'll help you finish it here." ”

Yunluo stared at Cao Yelai, his eyes slightly reddened.

Cao Yelai said: "I don't like men. ”

Yunluo: "......"

Take advantage of the moonlight, leave Shengxian Lake, and the clouds fall like a different world, this is the end?

Then you can embark on the path of your dreams?

There was almost no sound when the feet stepped on the dirt pavement in the alley.

One after another, the shouts resounded over and over again in the small world in his heart.

The night is as cool as water, the lake suddenly has a breeze, Cao Yelai is in this heaven and earth, holding the cloud falling boat, squatting on the bow of the boat, killing chickens.
