In the early morning, the morning sun shines on the turquoise water, and the surrounding green trees evaporate with a hint of mist. Convergence, blending, and gradually enveloping the entire mountain stream.

The sound of water sounded faintly in the quiet mountain stream, and there were no ripples on the surface of the river. In the mist, a small boat was faintly rippling.

A figure on the boat gradually became clear, it was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a large cardigan, and his lower pants were tightly tied with two hemp ropes tied around his waist. Under the black bun, the sword eyebrows are like rigidity, and the eyes are like torches.

"Get up!~" With the shout of the sturdy young man, the fishing net with countless fish and shrimp poured up from the surface of the water, and smashed heavily on the boat. The young man looked at the loaded fish and shrimp, and said excitedly to the cabin: "Uncle Chen, let's sell this net of fish to pay for the eldest lady's medical treatment." ”

"It's enough to get medicine, but it's not enough to buy you a dowry. As he spoke, an old man walked out of the cabin with his right hand on the door frame and a dry tobacco pipe in his left hand and a dry tobacco pipe in his left hand, followed by a young girl.

I saw that the old man was dressed in a half-sleeved sackcloth robe, and his lower body was wearing black cloth pants, the two trouser legs were half-rolled up between his knees, and the exposed calves had strong muscle lines and slightly bulging green tendons. No matter how the boat rocked, those feet were firmly gripping the plank.

When the girl behind the old man heard what she said just now, she couldn't help but blush, twisted her sideburns with both hands and turned her back, and said angrily: "Hmph! Daddy, if you talk like this nonsense, your daughter won't care about you anymore." ”

Seeing this, the young man was also at a loss, subconsciously scratched his chin and smiled awkwardly.

It was getting dark, and after a few more fish were caught by the others, the boat began to return.

When they entered the village, the three of them were talking and laughing, but when they looked up, they saw black smoke rising into the sky from the middle of the village.

Uncle Chen's face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "Quick, Sishui! There may be an accident in the village, you are fast, hurry up and go back to take a look." ”

Sishui nodded, didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly put down the fish and shrimp on his shoulder, grabbed the flat pole and rushed towards the village.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Sishui saw a large number of people gathered in the square, with clear left and right, showing a confrontation trend. One of them, young and old in the village, was staring vigilantly at the other side with poles, hoes, sticks, etc. Everywhere they looked, they were all armed with knives and axes, and they looked bloodthirsty.

Sishui secretly sighed in his heart, this group of people is afraid that they are the bandits of Cangmu Mountain. The government has sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but they have all returned from defeat. There was even a time when all the people of the hundred were lost, and none of them were spared. Our stone village is full of generations of fishermen, where has we ever encountered such a battle.

I saw that where the men of the two sides were together, two people were facing each other with swords. One of them is Master Zhang, the only martial artist in this village.

It is said that Master Zhang met a master when he was young, learned a lot of skills, and was once invited by the dignitaries in the city to be the head of the nursing home for many years. Later, as he grew older, he had to resign and return to his hometown. In his spare time, he teaches the youth in the village free of charge. During Sishui's three years in the village, almost half of them were spent in this courtyard.

The other figure is a tall bearded man in his forties, holding a bright and dangling simple knife in one hand, and a bowl-sized scar on his face, from the eyebrow bone to the bridge of his nose. This appearance alone makes many people afraid.

Master Zhang was holding a stick in one hand at this time, his chest was constantly rising and falling rapidly, and beads of sweat the size of beans couldn't stop sliding down. He looked at the stick he used to use on weekdays, and there were many knife marks on the stick, and the knife marks were even inches into the wood. I didn't expect this big man to have such great strength, I'm afraid that this stick will be completely broken after two or three more knives.

"Alright, stop playing. A faint voice came from the bandits' side.

Hearing this, the bearded man smiled, stepped forward with an arrow, and slashed at Master Zhang with the Pu knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Master Zhang secretly said that he was not good in his heart, leaned back, and blocked forward with a stick in both hands. Only to hear the sound of "thump", the stick was split in half. However, Zhang Chuang also took advantage of the situation to fall to the ground, and then swept his foot behind the big man's knee.

The big man just exhausted his strength, and the new force was not born, and he also ate Master Zhang's sweeping leg, his center of gravity was unstable, and his body did not feel like he was falling forward. At this time, Master Zhang was already waiting for the bearded man, and took advantage of the situation to insert the broken stick into his abdomen.

This process may seem tedious, but it only happens in the middle of a few breaths. However, this series of actions also exhausted all of Master Zhang's physical strength. He said that after the big man pushed away, he turned his back to the sky and gasped for air.

Seeing this scene, people on both sides were stunned. After a while, a man walked out of the village and said to the bandits, "According to the agreement, we have won." Return to whence you have come from. And you can't fight that thing anymore. You people in the rivers and lakes are all out of your word, and it is difficult for horses to chase. ”

The person who spoke was none other than the village chief of this more than 100 small villages, Stone Village. Seeing that Master Zhang won the battle against the bearded man, the village chief had confidence in his heart. He knew that these bandits, even though they were murderous, did not blink. However, most of them are people who keep their word. After all, credibility and righteousness are their beliefs.

As soon as these words came out, all the bandits were speechless, and there was a sound of needles falling.

"Lost? I don't think so. Old man, I advise you to hand over your things as soon as possible. I guarantee that all of your village is unscathed. Otherwise, I don't know what they would do to the deed. The faint voice from before rang out.

I saw the 'corpse' lying on the ground slowly stand up again. The bearded man looked at the broken stick half-entered in his lower abdomen, frowned, gritted his teeth, and pulled it out directly.

However, the next one made countless people dumbfounded. The severed wound must have touched the spleen, but the wound did not flow as everyone thought, only a little blood stained the clothes. And where the wound was, there was a faint blue light lingering in the meantime.

"He's a spirit master!! At this time, someone in the crowd exclaimed, breaking the silence.

For a while, the bandits were all happy, and it was not lively.

On the contrary, the villagers of Stone Village have fallen to the bottom in their hearts. If this is an ordinary group of bandits, with Master Zhang's martial arts and years of practical combat skills, there is a chance to deal with them. However, if it is a spirit master, it is not something that ordinary martial artists can compete with. There is an immeasurable gap between the two. If you want to compare, it is the difference between cloud and mud.

The bearded man covered the wound with one hand, his eyes stared at Master Zhang viciously, his brows gradually twisted together, and the scars on his face couldn't help but twist, making them even more penetrating. "If you dare to hurt me, I will break your body into thousands of pieces!!" I saw the big man shouting angrily, and slashed at Master Zhang with a knife in one hand.

Master Zhang was already weak at this time, and collapsed to the ground, watching the big knife coming towards him, but he was powerless to dodge, so he had to silently close his eyes and wait for death.

said that it was too late, and Sishui came to Master Zhang with an arrow, and poked the flat pole in his hand to the ground. With a "bang", the flat pole exploded, and the knife failed to fall on Master Zhang.

Sishui looked at the bamboo chips flying in the sky, and his heart sank. Is this the power of the spirit master? A single blow has such power, if it falls on the body, I am afraid that the bones will be cut off.

Dahan looked at the four waters that suddenly appeared in front of him, and his heart was furious. As a spirit master, he was already very angry when he was injured by ordinary people, but now that this thunderous blow was blocked by someone again, he felt even more gloomy.

I saw him clenching his hands, mobilizing the sea of qi into his hands, and the Pu knife in his hand was changed to a stab towards Sishui's left chest. I don't know how much faster it was when I played against Master Zhang before.

As soon as Si Shui wanted to dodge, the sword light had already arrived in front of him. Am I going to die here today? No, I'm not reconciled!

"No!!~~"

With a roar from Sishui, the Pu knife fell on him.

Many of the villagers in Stone Village closed their eyes, not wanting to see the tragic situation of Sishui. The bearded man also showed a smug smile, seeing the appearance of blood splattering, his anger could be calmed down a little.

However, after a moment, his smile froze.

The bearded man saw that the sharp Pu knife stopped in front of Sishui's chest, and he couldn't pierce Sishui's chest for a while. He shouted angrily in a low voice, and the aura of his limbs instantly surged towards the right hand holding the knife, and the Pu knife in his hand also made a buzzing sound.

But Sishui's feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he didn't move in the slightest. The blade was also blocked by a faint blue light on his chest, and could no longer move forward for half a minute.

"Hmph!" Si Shui snorted coldly, and an invisible wind burst out around him, and the Pu knife exploded instantly, and the broken blade was scattered in all directions. The bearded man was also swept to the ground by the waves.

"Reiki Armor! You~You~ are also a spirit master. No, no, you are at least a Yellow Order Great Spirit Master. I must be dreaming, haha, yes, yes!!" The bearded man must have been frightened by the scene in front of him, and his face was twisted and full of nonsense.

'Sishui' just glanced at him coldly and didn't speak.

Seeing this, the villagers of Stone Village were also puzzled.

"Sishui, isn't it Chen Laohan's distant cousin? How can he be a spirit master, could it be that Chen San is also a spirit master?"

"Impossible, Chen Laohan has been fishing in the village for three generations, if it was a spirit master, how could we not find out. This is absolutely impossible. ”

For a while, the villagers were all talking.

At this moment, Chen Laohan and his daughter Qiao'er rushed back to the village, and they happened to witness the scene just now. There was also a look of surprise in the eyes of the two.

Yes, Chen Laohan lied to the villagers. Sishui is not his distant cousin, but a stranger who was rescued in the mountain stream and river when he went out fishing three years ago. At that time, when Chen Laohan saw that he was dressed in Luo clothes and holding a sharp sword tightly in his hand, he knew that he was not an ordinary person. However, at that time, Sishui was unconscious, and Chen Laohan couldn't see death without help, so he had to take him home to take care of him.

But when Sishui woke up, he forgot his name and didn't know how he fell into the water. There was no way, Chen Laohan's family could only leave him behind and name him Sishui.

The villagers of Stone Village are ordinary people, and if they know the situation in Sishui, they are afraid to worry. Chen Laohan simply lied that Sishui was his distant cousin, and his parents died in distress at home, so he had to come here to join him. The villagers all believe it and take good care of Sishui on weekdays.

Having said that, I saw the bearded man being overturned to the ground. The bandits all gasped in their hearts, and the leaders didn't feel that they had moved a few steps back.
