In the east of Lingzhou City, there is a ruined temple called "Yanhuang Temple" that has been abandoned for a long time, hundreds of years ago, people worship the two emperors of Yanhuang and Yanhuang, and the incense of this temple can be said to be endless. It's just a pity that time has passed, the kings and empires of the past dynasties have changed and changed, and the emperors of all dynasties and generations have also had new ideas of governing the country. Gradually, the number of people who worship the two emperors of Yan and Huang became fewer and fewer, and slowly the former Yanhuang Temple became just a place for beggars to hide from the rain and rats to ravage.

But tonight's Yanhuang Temple is particularly turbulent, pushing open the broken temple door, there is a thick gray and big cobwebs, there are no less than ten large and small holes on the roof of the beams, and even the huge stone statues of the two emperors of Yanhuang are missing arms and legs. It may be that people come here from time to time, but the hay on the ground and the cloth mats used for kneeling are exceptionally neat.

When the hour arrived, there was a whistle in the temple, and I saw a fire flashing outside the fence on the side. Then came an influx of beggars, some young and some old. They all have a common mark, that is, holding a porcelain bowl in their left hand and a wooden stick in their right hand, these people are the disciples of the largest gang in the rivers and lakes today - the beggar gang.

And on the steps of the ruined temple stood a man, who was over half a hundred years old, but different from ordinary beggars. Although he was not wearing any expensive silk, his cloth clothes were quite neat and clean, but he looked out of place compared to the beggars in the audience, this person was the steward of the helm of Lingzhou City - Lord Chen.

And the beggars standing next to him were each tied to several cloth bags, and it seemed that the situation should be a slightly more powerful disciple in the gang. Crowds of people continue to pour into the surroundings of this broken temple, as if beggars of all sizes in the entire Lingzhou City have gathered here, such a scene is really amazing but also a little emotional.

"Helmsman, the brothers and sisters of all sizes in our gang have almost arrived, tell me what the deployment is for this gathering!"

"Yes, what kind of instructions did Master Chen Helm receive!" more and more people catered to it, and they all talked about it separately.

This Chen Helmsman coughed lightly, stood on the stairs and waved his hand, and said, "Everyone be quiet!"

Although these beggars seem to be vulgar people, they are still very well-behaved, and the rules of the beggars, large and small, are still very perfect.

"Presumably all the brothers have seen it, the plague in Lingzhou City has been raging for a month, and many of the brothers in my gang have also suffered from the plague and died in pain, but to this day the epidemic has not been suppressed, and if it is repeatedly delayed, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties. I know that some of the brothers in the gang grew up begging in Lingzhou City, and they have a lot of affection for this place, and I am not the same! Of course, if you don't want to leave, you can continue to stay here, and I will stick to this Lingzhou City with everyone until the plague dissipates!"

Many of these beggars grew up begging in the city and have a deep affection for the city. Some of them are already old, and they don't have a few years left, and they can't stand the fatigue of boat migration. They were very moved to see that Master Chen continued to stay here, and shouted: "We are willing to stay in this city with Master Helm and eradicate the epidemic together!"

Of course, more of them are life-sparing, this Lingzhou City has been very unpeaceful recently, it is time to beg in another place, it is not easy to be a beggar, if you also have an epidemic and die in pain, it is really a waste of walking in the world. Many voices asked, "Then Lord Chen, where should we retreat?"

"In a few months, there will be the annual Yuezhou Beggar Gang Conference, and the brothers can go to Yuezhou City, the head of the Beggar Gang. I'll write a letter to inform the helper of the reason!"

"All right, brothers of the beggars, this is the end of today's gathering. Evacuated brothers, you can pack up when you go back tonight, and Elder Hu will lead you to Yuezhou early tomorrow morning. As for those who stay here, they must be cautious about the food they have begged for recently, and try not to go to places where crowds gather!"

Seeing that everything was in order, these beggars left in groups of three or five in an orderly manner. But this Chen helmsman has been standing in place, watching the back of every brother. The originally bright Yanhuang Temple returned to darkness and silence, and all this was seen by Ming Chang behind the tree.

After watching the last beggar disciple leave, Lord Chen Helm let out a long sigh, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ming Chang.

"Lord Chen Duo is really a person who values love and righteousness, and he is willing to stay in this Lingzhou City and continue to take care of his brothers!" I saw Ming Chang jump from behind the dim tree to the stairs, take off his face towel and said.

At first, I didn't know who the person who spoke was, but when I saw him take off the strip of cloth covering his face, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he exclaimed: "It turned out to be Brother Mingchang! Is the Tianshan faction finally willing to help, and Lingzhou City is finally saved." As he spoke, he stepped forward excitedly, grabbed his arm and trembled.

"Lord Chen hasn't seen him for a long time, so I'll get straight to the point, how much do you know about the plague in this city?"

“......”

The two talked for a long time, it should have been an ugly day, and the night was the quietest but also the darkest. When Ming Chang got up and just wanted to leave, he heard a "bang~". Looking up, a brick on the roof of the ruined temple fell to the ground and made a sound, and then a black shadow flashed.

It seems that everything that happened here tonight, including the conversation just now, seems to have been snooped on by another man in black.

"Who is it?"

"Master Chen, be careful, there will be a period later!" Ming Ming immediately saluted him with a fist, and immediately turned into a wisp of sword qi and chased towards the black shadow.

Chen Helm Lord stood in place and watched the two black shadows flying around on the roof, sighed, and sighed: "Alas, it's really not peaceful!"

Ming Chang's cultivation is also one of the best in terms of the right path, but he can't catch up with the speed of the black shadow, and it seems that this person's cultivation is not below him. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with him, he quickly struck a sword qi towards a foothold, and the bricks shattered instantly. Seeing that there was nowhere to stay, the black shadow shot backwards in the air with a sharp stop and landed on the street.

Seeing that he stopped, he jumped into the street and shouted, "Who is Your Excellency, and why did you eavesdrop on the conversation just now?"

"Hmph~Hmph~Hmph~" The obedient voice seemed to be a young man, and his tone was gloomy and did not respond at all.

Without saying a word, a green air stream accompanied the black air straight away, and the speed was faster than breathing. Ming Ming had no time to dodge, and hurriedly put the Fengyuan Sword in his hand in front of him, accompanied by an explosion, the whole person retreated dozens of steps, and a blood spit out.

Barely holding his body, he forcibly suppressed the chaotic aura in his body. But he listened to the man: "Hmph, the sword under your cloth strip should not be a vulgar thing, if you pulled the sword out of its sheath just now, it should barely be able to block my blow, why do you still want to stop me now?"

It is true that I have reservations just now, after all, the situation is complicated now, and my identity should not be exposed. But at the moment, this person's strength is profound, even higher than himself, if he is still ......

Ming Chang laughed loudly, the sword qi around his body was great, the two fingers were sword tricks, and the Fengyuan sword was also one with the master's mind, and the fire on the sword body was bright. shouted: "Your Excellency, it's time to eat me next!"

I saw that even under the cover of the cloth strip, the Fengyuan Sword could still feel the fire and heat waves it emitted, and the sword aura stabbed straight towards the black shadow vital point. Just when he was about to make contact with it, he saw a big blue light, and with one finger, he blocked the sword qi, and with a loud shout, the cloth strip was shattered instantly. The Fengyuan Sword was completely exposed to the dark night, the black shadow seemed to be satisfied, sneered, and with a wave of his robe, all the momentum on the sword collapsed, and he snatched the Fengyuan Sword and held it in his hand. Seeing that the sword was snatched, Zhou hurriedly took a few steps back, and his heart was shocked. The black shadow carefully looked at the Fengyuan sword in his hand, and sneered: "Hehe, it's really a good sword, I'll give it back to you!" I saw a cloud of black qi holding the sword body and shooting back into Ming Chang's hand.

I was shocked in my heart, this person easily defused the attack of Feng Yuan Sword, and listening to his voice, he was still a young man, but his strength was probably on the same level as his master Chi Xiaozi, and the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid.

"Hehe, the Tianshan Sect prides itself on being the first in the righteous path, but its strength is so vulnerable!" With a sneer echoing through the streets, the person was gone.

Seeing the back of the man leaving, Ming Chang didn't plan to chase after him at all, calmed down his thoughts, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. A cloud of black gas surged up, and it turned out that it had been poisoned by that person on the Fengyuan Sword just now, and now it had been inhaled into the body. Then sit cross-legged and regulate the airflow in your body. The only thing in the dark streets was the fiery red glow around Ming Chang......

It seems to be an inn, the room is brightly lit, and a stunning woman lies on the bed. Seeing that she was wearing revealing clothes, her eyes were charming, and she was in a red robe, she untied the wide belt around her waist, revealing the proud twin peaks, her white and slender legs were bewitchingly cocked, and it was even more amorous to loom through the silk gauze. Although she was sexy, the bedding around her was crawling with small colorful snakes, and a few of them were lying on her limbs, but she was not afraid, spitting out her slender and curved tongue as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, within a single stick of incense, I saw a flash of turbidity on the table, a puff of green smoke fell on the wooden bench, and a figure was revealed. Dingjing was a young man, about twenty years old, wearing a blue-sleeved robe, his hair tied up, and his slender fingers picked up the white wine on the glass table, and there was a small snake coiled in the glass, but he drank it all without looking. With the firelight, you can see that the young man is handsome, the white and smooth cheeks are no worse than the girl, the tall and straight nose bridge, a pair of clear and attractive eyes, and a tall body, he can definitely be called a beautiful man.

The woman on the bed saw the young man, her voice became softer and more charming, and she whispered in a pant: "Hehe, the adult is coming alone? The house also smells of aromatherapy rouge.

If this were an ordinary man, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold it for a long time, but the young man was unmoved, poured another glass of spirits, and drank it all. He played with the wine glass in his hand intently, and said regretfully: "The wine is good wine, but it's a pity that you have drugged and snake venom in it and ruined some of the taste, it's a pity!"

The woman's slender jade fingers dragged her cheeks, and she said coquettishly: "Hahaha, sure enough, these little poisons have no effect on adults!"

The young man was unmoved, changed his tone, and asked seriously, "What is the current situation?"

"The king and the other two city kings have already marched to southern Xinjiang, and let me stay in Lingzhou City to spy on the movements of the Tianshan faction. I put some poison in this city, but it's been a month, and the Tianshan Sect is still unmoved, these stinky Taoist priests are really hard-hearted!"

A little angry, he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Are you sure that the Tianshan Sect has not yet moved? I was stopped by a disciple of the Sword Sect just now! You didn't even notice it?"

"Heh, it's all just a few disciples who are afraid. With the Dharma Protector here, they are in charge, and the little girl is not afraid!"

The young man snorted coldly: "I won't stay here, this time I will go to Wugu to implement the plan." I'm coming to you tonight to warn you, the shallow sister will come in a few days, you give me good care!"

The woman stuck out her tongue again and whispered, "Little sister, she is also coming, then I will take good care of it!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman felt a strong wind flash, and when she opened her eyes again, a cold and shining dagger was clamped around her neck, and she saw that the young man had already been supported on the bed, and she did not have the slightest pity when she saw that she was naked. Instead, he had a gloomy face and threatened: "I don't care how you play around in this Lingzhou City, but don't forget the plan for this trip." And if I see that the shallow sister is missing any hair, I will let you, the spirit snake king, cut off her tail from now on!"

The woman's heart jumped, but she was not afraid, but stretched out her naked white legs to clamp the young man on her body, spit out her long tongue and licked his ears, and called softly: "Lord Protector, you can rest assured, the little woman will definitely protect the eldest lady!"

The boy didn't linger any longer, put away the dagger, turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew away along the edge of the bed, and the room echoed: "I hope you keep your word!"

When the woman saw him leaving, her face instantly became ugly, she pressed her face, spit on the ground fiercely, and scolded: "Hmph, this kid is young and does things without mercy, and when I get up, I will let you be my male pet, I ...... at the time." There is also a group of Xiaoxiao from the Tianshan faction, wait until you have resolved the plague in the city, come back!" angrily extinguished the turbid fire on the stage, and the room became dark and silent again......
