"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a small town in this direction, and it will take an hour or so. Ling Hu lonely walked quickly through the forest with a bookcase on his back, and it was already late at this time. Although there aren't too many wild beasts in Hanyangju, it can be much more difficult to walk at night, so it's best to enter the town before the sun sets.

Except for the rustling sound of the branches and leaves being blown by the wind, and the crunch of the fox's lonely feet stepping on the dead branches and rotten leaves, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

"It's been a long time since I've been so leisurely" Ling Hu Lonely laughed at himself, in the past ten years, in addition to continuous practice and some daily behaviors, it seems that he has not done some other things, now that he thinks about it, ten years of time is gone, trance as yesterday. couldn't help but sigh when the fox looked up to the sky. But his eyes did grow more and more determined, and he kept walking, and finally disappeared into the depths of the woods.

............

Linghu family, Linghu Mansion.

"Lady, don't cry, didn't my son say it? He will come back in five years, we have to believe him. Ling Hubai hugged He Yan in his arms with his broad arms and said softly.

He Yan has been crying for a day, she doesn't even want to eat a basic meal, her heart is full of her son's figure, especially the figure of Ling Hu Lone's last departure, it is so lonely, the outside world is so dangerous, what if something happens...... He Yan couldn't dare to think about it anymore.

Even though He Yan said that she believed in her son very much when they were separated, it was just a cover-up, and in fact, she had millions of worries about Ling Hulone.

"Hmm. He Yan didn't want to cause trouble to her husband, so she finally stopped crying.

At this time, Ling Hubai glanced at the subordinates on the side, and a plate of delicacies from the mountains and seas was lined up in front of Heyuan in turn. And those subordinates were also silent, and slowly retreated after carrying the food up.

"Eat something. Ling Hubai stuffed the jade chopsticks into He Yan's hand, and seeing that He Yan still didn't make any movements, he couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter, do you want me to feed you?"

"I don't want it! I have my own hands!" He Yan was teased by Ling Hubai, and her mood improved a little, and she began to eat. Because I haven't eaten for a whole day, I am naturally very hungry, and the speed of eating is faster than usual, but I still haven't lost that innate elegance.

Suddenly, Ling Hubai seemed to have thought of something, and put on a serious expression: "By the way, lady, in the next few days, the clan may need you to take care of it." I have something to do. Then, Ling Hu Bai muttered in He Yan's ear, extremely cautious, it seems that this matter is not trivial.

"Does it have to be so fast?" He Yan was a little surprised, and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Hmm!" Ling Hu Bai nodded heavily, "Tomorrow we will go to the Netherworld, and we will act in the evening in five days." Then he took out a three-foot long sword from the secret box beside him, and there was no scabbard yet, and the entire blade was made of dark iron. This is a sword that Ling Hu Bai personally forged when he walked the rivers and lakes, and it was not much worse in quality than the dust he gave Ling Hu Lone.

But he didn't give this sword to Ling Hu Lin because Ling Hu Bai used human life to sacrifice blood in the final process of refining, which made this sword extremely evil, and a little carelessness would indirectly affect the heart. And the people who took the blood sacrifice were all the enemies of Ling Hubai in his early years, and he was extremely resentful of Ling Hubai, even Ling Hubai himself was difficult to control this sword in his early years.

In contrast, the 'dust' for Ling Hu Lonely, after being raised by Ling Hu Bai for decades, is already a gentlemanly temperament, and his evil temperament has been greatly reduced. Even ordinary people without any training can pick it up and swing it a few times without being affected by it.

At this time, after thirty or forty years of precipitation, the resentment in this evil sword has also decreased a lot, and the heart of the fox white is not as easy to move as it was in the early years, and it is already as solid as a rock. So there's no big problem with using this sword now.

............

"I'm full. ”

"Then, let's go, lady, it's not too early, let's go to bed early. ”

"No, how can such a beautiful day be wasted, you have been gone for so long. ”

"Uh-uh, okay. ”

The golden house is warm overnight, and the beautiful scenery of the good day has no intention of appreciating.

............

At this time, he is in the house.

"Taki'er, are you okay?" a young man sat next to a young man, who was lying on the bed, his face was a little painful, his lips were pale, and his eyes were a little cloudy. Layers of gauze were tied around its chest, and a few wisps of crimson could be faintly seen in between.

This young man is the elder brother who was injured by Ling Hu Lone-He Long. Even though a full day had passed, the wound had not yet healed.

This young man is He Long's father, He Yan, and he is also the great elder of the He family.

"I'm sorry Daddy, I'm worried about you. He Long wanted to sit up, but the incomparably sharp pain from his chest made him unable to move at all, and the hoarse voice made He Yan couldn't help but close his eyes.

"It's okay boy, in a few days we can start our action, and when the time comes, I will do whatever you want. He Yan showed an evil smile, a big hand kept caressing He Long's face, from his expression, it could be seen that he was very excited, very excited, and even his body trembled slightly.

"Is this really going to be the case, it's not easy to ......" He Long looked directly at He Yan.

"You don't care about this, you just need to recuperate quietly now, and when the time comes, I will give you endless glory and wealth!" He Yan assured He Long, then stood up and blew out the fire candle on the side and walked out, "Go to bed early." ”

"Is it really feasible? Enjoy endless glory and wealth?" Thinking of this, He Long couldn't help laughing, I don't know if he was laughing at this ridiculous idea, or because he was too excited.

After a few moments, I fell asleep.

............

"Phew—it's finally here. Ling Hu Xiao lifted the bookcase behind him and looked at the wisps of cooking smoke in front of him. You can even hear the sounds of children playing.

Ling Hu Xiao subconsciously accelerated the pace of his feet, and the scene in his eyes continued to become clear.

It's a small town with no name. But there were quite a few of them, and everywhere was the sound of children playing with pots and spoons, and wisps of cooking smoke slowly drifting into the dim air, rippling in the clouds, rippling out a peaceful scene.

Ling Hu Lin walked into the town, first found an inn to put some things in it, the room was very simple, only a small wooden bed and a wooden table with a missing foot. Naturally, the price is not expensive, a few copper coins can stay here for one night, and tomorrow morning the woman will have a little supply. It's just that it's a world of difference compared to Ling Hulone's usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, but fortunately, Ling Hu Lin doesn't care much about these, if some nobles are afraid that they will smash this inn here, right?

After tidying up a little, Ling Hu Lin took the 'dust' and a bag full of money. Touching his somewhat shriveled stomach: "No one can treat you badly!" After that, he walked out the door, intending to find a place to eat.

It was the first time for Linghu to come to this kind of town, although it was not as full of palaces as the Linghu family, but there was a different feeling lingering in my heart.

Then Ling Hu Lin walked to a teahouse, there were a lot of people in it, and there was an old man telling a story in it, talking about a painting of sound and color, full of fun. Seeing that this storytelling was quite interesting, Ling Hu Lin also found a corner and sat down, and asked Xiao Er to order a pot of black tea and a plate of side dishes, and listened to the book interestingly. The fatigue of the day was poured out at this moment, and the fox fell asleep unconsciously.

Until a shout will wake the fox from his sleep.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're very lively here, give me some money and I'll have fun?" I saw a ruffian middle-aged man walking over, his face flushed, even to the neck. Coupled with an uncontrollable smell of alcohol, there is no doubt that I just came here after drinking to make a fuss. Behind the middle-aged man, there were more than a dozen middle-aged people, all of whom looked domineering, and some even held iron rakes for farm work.

This shout also alarmed the vast majority of people present, and even the old gentleman who was telling the story stopped, staring at the group of middle-aged people with some sluggishness and panic.

At this time, the shopkeeper came out, with a small bag in his hand, and trotted all the way to the drunken man at the head, and from time to time made a clanging sound, which sounded like some copper coins.

The boss was a little chubby, not very tall, and needed to stand on tiptoe to talk close to the middle-aged man's ear, and after muttering for a long time, he stuffed the bag full of copper coins into the man's hand, smiled at the man, and kept saluting. The man didn't say anything, just quietly watched the boss not stop being courteous in front of him.

"Hmph!" Ling Hu sneered, and drank the small cup of tea that had stayed in his hand for a long time, and did not pay too much attention to it.

Then the boss turned around and walked to the counter, and the man didn't react too much. Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, the middle-aged man led by suddenly took a step forward and kicked the boss to the ground, and at the same time quickly pressed on the boss's back, and pulled out a small dagger from his waist and put it on the boss's neck.

Before he could make any movements, the wisps of blood flowed like small snakes.

"I don't believe that you only have so much money in this teahouse? Originally, I just wanted to take less things, but I didn't think you were so dishonest, so I had to let you take out all your belongings. The middle-aged man smiled evilly, the dagger in his hand was slightly forced, and suddenly blood flowers bloomed on the boss's neck, and the scene was very bloody.

The surrounding people also panicked at this time, running and running. The old storyteller was even too frightened to walk at this time, his legs collapsed to the ground, and his eyes stared at the middle-aged man in fear.

Only Ling Hu was unmoved, still sitting calmly on the chair, and his heart was already full of thoughts.

"Let's go!" Ling Hu Xiao snorted, his right hand was on the 'dust', and he was about to stand up and walk towards the middle-aged man, for this kind of wicked person, even if he died thousands of eight hundred times, it would not be a pity!

But at this moment, another teenager suddenly burst out of the crowd, holding a two-foot iron sword, and stabbed into the back of the man led by him very simply, without the slightest hesitation. Because of its speed and the suddenness of its occurrence, the men behind him were knocked down by a sky-rushing sword qi before they could react.

Then, in full view of everyone, the young man took out the bag in the drunken man's palm, put it in his hand and hesitated for a long time, and finally put it into the hands of the boss. At the same time, he took out a roll of gauze paper from his arms and wrapped it around the boss's wound to stop the bleeding.

Ling Hu Lonely was a little excited, could this be a chivalrous man? Lu saw that he was uneven and drew his sword to help.

"Hello, my name is Ling ...... Quiet. Dare to ask the Daimyo?" Ling Hu Lin saluted the young man and said.

"Sealed in repair. ”
