Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Pursuit of Life
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Xianren, at the age of Ding Mao, Li Yao said goodbye to his younger brother.
Before leaving, Li Yao filled the Qiankun bag with gold and silver dollars, threw it to Li Tian, waved his hand and drove the carriage out of the city gate, and went straight to the southeast. On the twenty-second day of March, the yellow calendar reads: It is advisable to sacrifice and pray for blessings...... Don't travel.
When Li Tian returned to the Shouyuan faction, the Shouyuan faction was already in chaos. Elder Wang was assassinated last night, and Master Zhou was leading a group of elders and sectarians to arrest the murderer, but the Shouyuan faction turned inside and out and didn't find any clues.
The hall was gloomy and bleak. Zhou Jianye sat on the top, his face was haggard, his eyes were red, and he obviously cried because he was too sad: "Senior Brother Wang treats people the most, and I have never heard of him making enemies with anyone. Who would kill him without fear of being an enemy of my Shouyuan faction?"
Ye Feng, a disciple of Elder Wang, cried and fell to the ground: "Master Master, you must avenge my master!"
Your master and I have been good brothers for decades, and it is my duty to avenge him. Even if you fight to the death, you will definitely find out the murderer and cut it with a thousand knives! Now that your master's bones are not cold, you must cheer up!" Zhou Jianye's words were sad, those who heard it were sad, and those who listened to it shed tears.
Zhou Jianye finally recovered from his grief and asked the four elders what they thought.
Elder Wu said: "Senior Brother Wang's room was full of valuable items and the Qiankun bag he was carrying, so it should not be a vendetta, but a murder for money. There was no trace of a fight at the scene, and Senior Brother Wang was killed with a knife, either because the thief's cultivation was too high, or because he was hiding in the shadows and sneaking up. ”
"Elder Wu is right, we have searched all over the Shouyuan Sect and have not been able to find any clues. This murderer can sneak into my Shouyuan faction to kill people and rob money without knowing it, and the means must be very good, and he is bold, there are not many such powerful flying thieves in the world. "It was Elder Gong who spoke, his original name was Gong Kaishan, and he was the oldest and most prestigious among the elders.
Zhou Jianye hurriedly asked, "Elder Gong doesn't have eyebrows. ”
"The old man is just guessing. Have you heard of the name of the Flying Yaksha lately?"
"Naturally, I know that in the past two years, the Flying Yaksha has successively plundered several states such as Dishu, Diyin, and Dixing, and it was not until a while ago that there was a big disturbance in Diqizhou that the trace disappeared. ”
"According to reliable sources, the Flying Yaksha did not appear in the last Digu State after leaving the Diqi Prefecture. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that he will find the movement of our Shouyuan faction's opening ceremony and come to Diyouzhou. As soon as Elder Gong said this, everyone felt that this Flying Yaksha was really suspicious.
"Whether or not this Flying Yaksha did it, it has something to do with him. Pass on my order, use the power of my Shouyuan faction to arrest the Flying Yaksha, and never die!" After the matter was arranged, Master Zhou seemed to remember something, and called out to Elder Gong: "Senior Brother Gong, why didn't you see Gong Jiaoxi and some of your disciples this morning?"
"It's no wonder that the old man's grandson is still unconscious, and he is anxious to keep his business, so he went out with a few of his brothers to find some precious elixir, thinking that he would be able to come back in two days. "Elder Gong said casually, and he didn't show anything abnormal.
"There's nothing wrong with this juncture. Zhou Jianye glanced at Elder Gong meaningfully.
"Boss! There is a bald man outside the mountain gate who claims to be Liao Yan, the general of Qizhou, and says that he wants to meet the old master!" At this time, a disciple came in to spread the word.
"The ancestor has been dead for many years, how can I see it? This Liao Yan is simply ridiculous! A few days ago, I shirked the opening ceremony as an excuse, but I didn't expect him to come again today. Let him in, and I'll see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd." ”
......
"Ling'er, too, is this girl, she won't give up after chasing all night, and I can't bear it anymore. Either we stopped the boat and invited her up for a drink, anyway, we are old friends from the past, so we don't need to fight and kill when we meet. "Tong Laosan has long wanted to stop the boat, and all he wants is to go back and take Xiao Xiaoyao with him.
"I said, third child, why are you still so ignorant of the general situation, is Ling'er still the same as before? She is now a person from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion! If she gets entangled with us and recruits all the people from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion and the Imperial Court, won't our efforts over the years be in vain?" Boss Jin looked like he hated iron but not steel, and while urging Xi Lao Wu to speed up the boat, he arranged a formation to add obstacles to Mr. Mao's tracking, but he never got rid of her completely, "You medicine refining divine senses are so powerful and perverted, it's really nerve-wracking!"
Tong Laosan was anxious and aggrieved at this time, and he couldn't even drink wine. Yin Lao Er suddenly opened his mouth: "Big brother, you quickly arrange a few hidden formations on me." You go ahead and lure her away, and I'll get off the boat and bring back that stinky girl from Li Yao. ”
"Nonsense! Why are you all so unreassuring?" Boss Jin felt that the most troublesome thing at this time was not Mr. Na Mao, but his own brothers.
"If you want to go, you should go, you silver second child doesn't like my family's young children, what's the excitement?" Tong Lao San also made a fuss and wanted to get off the boat. Yin Lao Er pushed him away: "Tong Lao San, get out of the way for Lao Tzu!" and then dragged Jin Lao Da and refused to let go, his expression was unquestionable.
"I really can't help you. "Boss Jin couldn't help it, so he had to lay out a formation around the second silver guy. Seeing that the formation had been completed, Yin Lao Er jumped off the boat without saying a word. Mr. Mao was aware of it, but when he saw that the flying boat was still speeding ahead, he had no choice but to continue to chase after him.
"Yin Lao Er took the wrong medicine today!" Tong Lao San got up from the ground, feeling inexplicable.
Xi Lao Wu shook his head: "Why doesn't the third brother understand, the second brother just doesn't dare to meet Ling'er." ”
......
Since Li Yao left the city, he noticed that someone was following, pretending not to know, and walked slowly in the carriage. After traveling ten miles, I can figure out the situation of these stalkers in my own spatial perception: there are nine people in total, all of whom pretend to be ordinary pedestrians and follow in twos and threes. The two people led by them are full of vitality, their steps are light and steady, and they should at least have the cultivation of the high level of the Xuan Realm; the three of them are slightly weaker, but they are also strong and vigorous, and they are estimated to be low-level young people in the Xuan Realm; as for the remaining four people, they are all teenagers who have not reached the Xuan Realm, so there is no need to worry.
"Senior Brother Gong, can we be so cautious? It's just a kid from the Yellow Realm, I heard that he is still a waste body, just go up and kill him with a knife. "The person who spoke is called Guo Xing, a peak cultivator in the Xuan Realm, and he is the eldest disciple under Elder Gong's seat.
Gong Shoucheng shook his head: "This kid who suffered a thousand knives caused my Qing'er to have my brain damaged, and his consciousness was shattered, and now he is ignorant and unconscious, and it is difficult to wake up again." If I don't kill this kid alive with my own hands, I will be a father in vain! But this kid's brother is now a personal disciple of the head of the family, and we can't kill him openly, so we have to follow him all the way, and wait for a secluded place to find a secluded place before we can start. Thinking of the tragic situation of his son Gong Changqing, Gong Shoucheng's face was bruised, showing a devouring expression, and he forcibly calmed himself down before he said, "Father asked his brothers and sisters to come to help me, and he was also extra careful." He said that last night's assessment was really weird, that kid is probably not a waste martial arts, let us be cautious, and specially gave me his ground-level magic weapon Killing Flying Knife. ”
Guo Xing didn't want to say anything when he heard this, but he didn't think so: after all, he was just a little ghost in the Yellow Realm, and even if he had great ability, he couldn't escape the pursuit of his gang.
"In order to deal with a weak and helpless child like me, I really want to make such a big battle. Li Yao muttered, and had roughly guessed the identity of the other party. Seeing that there was a forest in front of me, I was overjoyed, a good place to ambush and kill. Li Yao raised his whip and urged the horse to speed up and run towards the woods.
"Kill yourself!" Gong Shoucheng saw Li Yao drilling in the direction of the woods, and finally saw the opportunity, so he hurriedly beckoned people to speed up his pace and followed towards the woods.
Gong Shoucheng and the others followed the woods all the way, and when they reached the depths, they saw the carriage parked next to a big tree, and the two horses were grazing and resting. Gong Shoucheng made a gesture, and everyone scattered and gathered around the carriage. A young man was bold and rushed into the carriage first, drew his sword and stabbed, but exclaimed: "There is no one in the car!" Gong Shoucheng reacted, could it be that Li Yao already knew that he was being followed, and deliberately led everyone into the woods and fled alone.
A miserable scream suddenly sounded, and everyone hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a bright sharp knife coming out of the chest of a Huang Realm disciple on the outermost part, and blood splattered out. The knife was drawn, and the boy fell down, and the figure behind him disappeared into the bushes in an instant. Everyone rushed towards the young man's location, Gong Shoucheng helped the young man up, but saw that his heart was pierced, and he was already angry: "What a ruthless boy, everyone be careful!" Before the words fell, there was another scream that was interrupted as soon as he came out of his throat, but it was the young man who jumped into the carriage before because he was far away, and he was wiped on the neck with a knife when he rushed over.
Everyone came back to their senses, but they only saw a little afterimage left by Li Yao when he hid behind the tree. Guo Xing and Gong Shoucheng hurriedly beckoned a few juniors and disciples to gather together and step up their precautions. Gong Shoucheng was angry and shouted loudly: "Little bastard, don't hide in the dark and hurt people, you have the ability to come out and compete with us in the open!"
"Hahahaha, what a righteous and bright one, so many of you have followed me all the way, aren't you just trying to find a place where no one is there to harm me? Why are you afraid now?" Li Yao's voice was erratic, coming from all directions. The remaining two Huang Realm disciples were frightened, originally thinking that they would follow a few senior brothers out to deal with a twelve-year-old Huang Realm Waste Martial Body, they might not need to make a move, they just joined in the fun, but they didn't know that the two people died at the beginning, and at this time, they were already trembling and holding the blade in their hands and hiding behind a few senior brothers.
Everyone was careful to guard against Li Yao's sneak attack, but they saw a fireball suddenly appear out of thin air and shoot straight towards them. Guo Xing saw the opportunity the fastest, and immediately sacrificed a shield to block the fireball, splashing sparks in all directions. The two Yellow Realm disciples who had never seen the world became more and more panicked at this time, and without waiting for the senior brother's command, they ran away in fright towards the outside of the woods. Gong Shoucheng secretly said that it was broken, and before he had time to stop it, he heard two screams one after another.
The remaining three low-level young people in the Xuan Realm were also a little frightened, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while. As the senior brother, Guo Xing protected them in front of them: "Don't panic, it's just an ordinary fire, not a terrain means." His true cultivation is only in the Yellow Realm, and he is not higher than you. Everyone stay together, don't give him a chance to break through. Hearing this, the three of them were a little more confident.
At this time, a cold and sympathetic voice suddenly came: "The game has officially begun......
