In the past two months, most of the gangs in Zhuqi County have long since dispersed, and the tens of thousands of people who fled the county have not yet fully returned, and the county town is much empty. The traces left by that chaos have not faded for a long time. The mass graves outside the city were filled with thousands of corpses. In the streets, restaurants, inns and other places in the county, there are still traces of fighting and burning in many rivers and lakes.

On this day, a young man from a remote countryside, carrying a package on his back, walked into the county seat and came to the medicine collection hall in the northwest city. This mansion of several hectares was all burned down in the chaos of the rivers and lakes, and all the gold and silver goods, martial arts secrets, medicinal materials and medicines, and things of little value were looted. Even the bricks and tiles in the ruins were secretly moved by the residents of the county town to rebuild their own houses.

The disciples of the Medicine Harvesting Hall had already dispersed, either dying or fleeing.

Dogs and wild cats are still sniffing and eating in the ruins. They occasionally raised their heads, glanced at Ye Qin a few times with cloudy and gloomy eyes, and felt that there was no threat, and continued to dig and dig the corpses buried deep under the ruins.

Ye Qin's heart was mixed, and he had a feeling that things were right and wrong.

He lived in this place for five or six years, from the age of eleven when he entered the medicine collection hall, studied under Wang Cai's medicine collection skills and "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", and followed Xie Ze into the mountains to collect medicine for three years with the four brothers of the same sect, and then parted ways with the same brothers to collect medicine separately, and it has been five or six years in a flash. However, a drug conference destroyed the medicine king gang and the medicine collection hall that had been rooted for hundreds of years.

He left the ruins of the medicine collection hall and went to the county town's post station, an open-air wine shop with many guests, to stop and drink tea. Prepare to stay in the county for a few days, refine some elixir, and then set off for Wan'an City, the capital of Pingzhou, to go outside and see the world.

Some idle scoundrels in the county town gathered on the pergola wine table in twos and threes, ordered a few pots of turbid wine, and asked for a plate of fried beans and a plate of pork liver, and they could spit and talk for most of the day, as if they knew everything.

Ye Qin found an unobtrusive place in the wine shop and sat down.

"In the past two months, the Yaowang Gang has become the target of public criticism, not only the medicine collection hall in our Zhuqi County has been smashed, but even the main hall and branch halls in the capital of Pingzhou and the eight major counties have been killed one by one, becoming the first top ten gangs in Pingzhou to be uprooted. Tsk, that's a big deal!"

"It's a good smash, Lao Tzu usually looks at the grandchildren in the medicine hall and doesn't like it, and usually doesn't take people in his eyes when his nostrils are facing the sky. Sure enough, it was a great joy to have their unlucky day. ”

"Hey, do you know the Nan Clan Immortal Clan, it's really powerful. I heard that the Nan family once ruled the top ten gangs in Pingzhou, but nine of the top ten gangs wanted to rebel, and as a result, the two sides fought, and the blood flowed like a river. ”

"It's a pity that the three immortals of the Nan clan have all disappeared in this battle. Otherwise, Lao Tzu must worship them as teachers and learn the earth-shattering immortal arts. ”

"Cut, just like you like a leper dog, you also want to be favored by the immortals? If Lao Tzu goes to apprentice, it will be about the same. ”

"Is there anyone still alive in the Nan Clan?"

"It is said that an old fairy died, and after the old fairy went out of the city with great might, his body was found outside the city the next day. The other two little immortals have never appeared again, and I don't know if they are alive or not. ”

"Lao Tzu saw with his own eyes that there was a flying immortal and killed the Nanjia immortal. The Nanjia Immortal Weng is still buried in a mass grave outside the city of Zhuqi County. Recently, in February, many tomb robbers have come to look for the corpses of the Nan family, trying to find the immortals. But it seems that no one has found it yet. Why don't we try our luck!"

Ye Qin's funny remarks about these scoundrels were, of course, a snort. After drinking the tea, he rested in the wine shop for a while, and then threw a few copper plate tea coins on the table, preparing to go to his private house in the county seat.

But I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in a crumpled white dress standing under a big tree not far from the wine shop, carrying a sword on his back, touching his stomach with one hand, hungry, and looking enviously at the big men on the wine table gulping wine and eating meat, as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, and then stopped at his feet.

With his vision and memory, as long as he has met someone once, he will never forget. Isn't this young man Nan Zhongjie? Why is he here, and he seems to be a little down.

Ye Qin was puzzled, and glanced at the white-clothed young man with his spiritual eye technique, it was really good, there was a faint white air flow in the meridians in his body, which was about the first layer of mana in the qi refining period.

It's been two months since that battle, why is Nan Zhongjie still in Zhuqi County?

Ye Qin picked up the package and walked towards Nan Zhongjie, wanting to ask what was going on.

Nan Zhongjie saw a strange young man walking towards him, and he didn't care at first, but he soon realized that the other party was also an immortal cultivator, and his face suddenly changed and turned pale.

As an immortal cultivator, the spiritual pressure caused by the difference in cultivation cannot be hidden from the other party. Ye Qin is a fourth-layer Qi refining stage, and he has a strong spiritual pressure deterrent against Nan Zhongjie, who is three levels behind his cultivation. The distance between the two sides is farther away, and it may not be noticeable, but once it is closer to more than ten zhang, this spiritual pressure becomes more and more intense.

Nan Zhongjie took a few steps back, immediately held the hilt of the sword behind him with his backhand, and asked in horror, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Ye Qin didn't want to scare him, so he stopped and said calmly: "I am an immortal cultivator passing by here, and I have no malicious intent. Only occasionally see you here. I'm a little strange, you're also an immortal cultivator, how can you be so downcast, didn't your family give you enough money?"

"Are you really passing by an immortal cultivator?"

"Of course, didn't you see me carrying my parcel on my back? I'm from somewhere else, and I'm going to stay in this county for a few days before leaving. ”

"That~, do you know someone from the Dingzhou Feng Clan?"

"I don't know. ”

Ye Qin shook his head.

Nan Zhongjie saw that the strange immortal cultivator in front of him was only one or two years older than him, and his tone was gentle and polite, and he didn't look like he had any malice towards him, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with the Feng family in Dingzhou, so he relaxed a little, he looked at his current down-and-out appearance again, and lowered his head with some shame: "I have embarrassed my family." ”

Ye Qin smiled secretly in his heart, and asked knowingly, "Oh, shame on me?"

Nan Zhongjie is a little familiar, and Ye Qin is also very kind, he quickly opened the conversation box, and said: "Two months ago, my father asked me to hunt down a martial artist named Wei Yuan, but that Wei Yuan was too cunning, there were actually several stand-ins, I killed a fake one, but I lost the real one, and I couldn't find it everywhere." Later, when I came back to Yongfu Restaurant, I found that my father had already killed him out of the county, and when I found him outside the city the next day, I found that he had been brutally murdered by the members of the Ten Gangs outside the city. After I buried my father, I have been waiting for my cousin in the county seat. But my cousin didn't know where he went, and he hasn't been seen yet. I didn't have much of value with me, and I had almost spent all of my pawns in the past two months. For the past two days, I have been eating wild game outside the city, but I don't know much about barbecue, I always burn, and I haven't eaten a good meal for several days. ”

It's okay that Nan Zhongjie didn't explain, this explanation, Ye Qin was even more puzzled, the immortal cultivator would have no money to spend, "You don't have money, but you have mana! Even if it's robbing the rich and helping the poor, borrowing it temporarily, and then giving it to others when you have money in the future. Anyway, you won't get hungry, will you?"

Nan Zhongjie's eyes widened: "Originally, I wanted to find some work to do and earn some money to eat." But I searched all over the city, and the shopkeepers were so frightened that they hid when they saw me, and no one asked me to work. Also, this eldest brother, the ancestor of my Nan family, is strictly forbidden to rely on immortal arts to burn, kill, plunder, and do evil. Unless ordered by the patriarch, I can't take other people's things, let alone rob them. ”

“”

Ye Qin was speechless and speechless for a while.

The people of the Nan family are really peculiar. The previous patriarch, Nan Tianba, was talented, ambitious, and a bit of a scoundrel. Although the latter patriarch Nan Tianxiong cultivated lowly, he was ruthless, and did not hesitate to destroy the top of the ten major gangs to consolidate the position of the Nan family. And Nan Zhonghao was arrogant, and stupidly ran to try his sword moves with Tie Yuyang, the first peerless master in Pingzhou, but was defeated and died. The Nan Zhongjie in front of him was a little too cowardly, and he adhered to the ancestral precepts and didn't dare to take the things of worldly mortals.

The grievances between Ye Qin and the Nan family were mainly caused by Nan Tianba alone. Nan Tianba's Yuan Shen has completely died, and his grievances with the Nan family have also been written off. He really has no ill will towards this Nan Zhongjie.

Of course, Ye Qin knew that Nan Zhonghao had already died, and Nan Zhongjie couldn't wait for his cousin to come back. He spent a few copper plates and asked the wine shop at the city gate for a large plate of cooked beef, and asked Nan Zhongjie to sit down and eat it under the roots of the big tree.
