Qinggu County, Youzhou.

It is a valley about twenty miles wide and dozens of miles long.

The county seat is located in the middle of this valley.

In the huge Youzhou area, Qinggu County is an inconspicuous small county seat.

On weekdays, not many people pay attention to this place at all, and few people come here.

However, in recent days, a large number of martial arts people have appeared in Qinggu County.

Some of those with discernment were taken aback after recognizing the identities of some of these martial arts people.

Because those people are all famous masters in the Youzhou martial arts.

Many of them are old rivers and lakes in the middle stage of the Tongmai Realm, and there are even several senior masters in the late stage of the Tongmai Realm.

With so many masters gathered in Qinggu County, no matter how dull their brains are, they all know that something big is going to happen here.

These outsiders in the martial arts, in addition to wandering around the county, are also searching in the surrounding mountains and forests.

It seems that these people are looking for something.

On this day, a pair of young men and women came to Qinggu County.

The people who came were naturally Ning Xiaotang and Shen Ning'er.

People come and go in the county, most of them are martial arts people wearing swords, and they are many times more lively than usual.

And this has led directly to the fact that there is not enough housing in the city.

Ning Xiaotang and Shen Ning'er searched for several inns, but there were no extra rooms.

Helplessly, the two finally found only a remote house.

Even this dwelling, there is only one room left.

As for the rest of the houses, they have long been filled by other people from the rivers and lakes.

Inside, the furnishings are quite simple.

There was only a bed and a stool.

However, for Ning Xiaotang and Shen Ning'er, it was nothing.

Because with the martial arts realm of the two of them, even if they don't sleep for a few days, it won't be hindered.

I rented this room just to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

As the evening approached, those martial arts people who were searching outside returned here one after another.

The two of them rented here with Ning Xiaotang were seven outsiders.

Among these seven people, there are three middle-aged men, two old men, an old woman and a middle-aged woman.

They belong to the Quartet.

Maybe they've been here for a few days, and they've become acquainted with each other.

Once back here, they began to exchange information about their daytime searches.

I only heard one of the middle-aged men say, "Everyone, I don't know what you have discovered?"

The old woman said coldly, "Hey, what else can I find." What's the matter, the three brothers of the He family, could it be that you have a clue?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Wei said that it was funny, if our three brothers found out, I wouldn't ask you." ”

One of the old men sighed, "That Li Sen is really better hiding than a mouse." He appeared once, and then never again. ”

Another old man said: "I don't know how many fellow martial artists have come to Qinggu County, and I have been looking for so many days, but I haven't even found the slightest shadow of the other party." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Mrs. Xu, I don't know if you have found something." ”

The middle-aged woman's face was cold, and she only said two words: "No." ”

After getting along in the past few days, several people also knew the cold nature of this Silver Light Sword Mrs. Xu, so they didn't care.

At this moment, the old woman suddenly sighed softly and said, "Hey, it seems that a newcomer has lived in our yard again." I don't know who is in the same way?"

The rest of the people also looked at the room where Ning Xiaotang and the two of them were.

However, the door was tightly closed.

The people outside the house could not see who lived inside.

As for Ning Xiaotang and Shen Ning'er, they were closing their eyes at this time and ignoring the outside.

One of the old men said, "Old lady Wei, the door is closed." Don't worry about it, it's been a day, everyone is gone, let's go back to the house to rest. ”

With that, the two old men went back to their room first.

Immediately afterwards, the three middle-aged men and the middle-aged woman also dispersed.

Only the old woman glanced at the room where Ning Xiaotang was located several times before she slowly left.

The old woman's strength has reached the late stage of the Tongmai realm, and the eight veins of the Qi Jing have opened up the five veins.

Although his martial arts realm is on par with the two elders of the Wu family, Mrs. Wei is using a secret weapon all the way, and she is born with an extraordinary intuition.

At this time, her intuition told her that the people in that room might not be simple, which made her feel a little jealous in her heart.

Although the slightest fear is very light, if there is nothing, it still makes the old woman very vigilant.

And all the people in the courtyard went back to their houses.

Inside the house, Shen Ning'er slowly opened her eyes.

She glanced at Ning Xiaotang and said, "Xiaotang, do you say that the people in the Youzhou Martial Arts are really so righteous and awe-inspiring? Why did so many people run here?"

Ning Xiaotang also slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "Not really, most of them, I'm afraid they still come for personal gain. ”

Shen Ning'er was puzzled: "Come for personal gain?"

Ning Xiaotang said: "Not bad. Except for a very small number of people, it may indeed be for the sake of justice. But most people are still selfish. Some of them are here to be famous, some are here to seek revenge, and some may be here to get the magic knife technique. ”

Shen Ning'er was surprised: "That magic knife technique is so evil, there are still people who want to get it?"

Ning Xiaotang said: "That magic sword technique, although it is an evil path and demon skill, it can greatly improve its strength in a short period of time, and it can also cross its own realm to kill opponents. This kind of exercise is enough to make many people blush. ”

"Besides, the people who came here are not all people from the righteous path martial arts, and there are many people from the evil path and demon sects. ”

Shen Ning'er said: "The people of the Evil Dao Demon Sect are also here?"

Ning Xiaotang said: "Yes, when I was on the street during the day, I had already noticed a lot. ”

Shen Ning'er said: "Those people from the Evil Dao Demon Sect are really bold enough. ”

Ning Xiaotang said: "After all, it involves the Blood Demon Knife, one of the five secrets of the Demon Gate, how could they not come?"

Shen Ning'er said, "Xiao Tang, did you say that the Blood Demon Knife is in that Li Sen's hand?"

Ning Xiaotang paused slightly and said, "It's hard to say, but the Blood Demon Knife must have something to do with that Li Sen." If you want to find the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Knife, you can only find that Li Sen first. ”

......

Late at night.

The entire Qinggu county was silent.

Except for a small number of martial arts people who were keeping vigil, most of them had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, at a certain moment, several terrible screams suddenly sounded in the silence of the night.

The voice was like a god crying out of a ghost, and it was terrible.

The voice came and went as fast as it came.

However, this is enough to wake up many martial arts people in the city.

Those people in the martial arts who were keeping vigil took the lead in rushing towards the source of the sound.

In the room, Ning Xiaotang also opened his eyes.

He said, "Ning'er, you just wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

With that, Ning Xiaotang's figure disappeared directly on the stool.
