Chapter 450: A New Chapter in the Rivers and Lakes
The sun was warm, the morning was already known to be crying in the trees, and when the servants in the White Mansion began to be busy as usual, they did not know some of the things that happened during the night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Outside the info mansion, a white figure walked in, and went straight through the gate guarded by Fanzi, and when he saw this person, he bowed respectfully.
The people who came and went in the mansion also got out of the way one after another, bowing down to let the figure go first.
Not long after, someone came over at the moon gate in the garden, and the clothes were fluttering.
"Bai Ning, did you go out last night?"
The figure that was asked stopped while walking, the system looked at the side, and the shadow who was walking slowly, frowned, and suddenly laughed: "I have been out, and now Bendu is going to change his clothes and go to court." β
The woman approached, sniffed with a wrinkled nose, and her eyes fell on her right arm, "My clothes are torn, did something happen last night?"
Immediately parted again, the vial hooked the corners of his mouth, and took two steps back, "Then you go and get busy.... I'm going to look for Linglong. β
"Hmm. β
The system nodded, smiled and turned towards the courtyard in his memory, his face gradually sinking. Behind him, the woman who had walked a few feet away also slowly stopped and looked back at the back over there.
The warm sun shone on her face, but her brow was tightly locked.
"It's weird..."The little bottle thought about walking under the porch, looking at a potted plant placed on the wooden fence, smelling the fragrance of the flowers, and the moment he suddenly stopped again. β.... Bai Ning couldn't have smiled at me like that!"
The next moment, the white fingers rolled up and clenched into fists, and the woman's delicate and sensitive mind was exposed at this moment.
Compared with the bustling and lively Bianliang, two or three hundred miles northwest from here, near a mountain range in the middle of the Yellow River, the same lively things are happening.
"Catch them!!"
"What a, dare to peek at my mother-in-law taking a bathβ"
"..... your mother-in-law is over fifty...."
It was almost evening.
The roar of the Yellow River resounded faintly outside the nearby woods, and several figures ran out of a remote village in a hurry, and dozens of villagers behind them were holding farm tools and scolding and chasing, driving the four of them into the woods like lost dogs, and then ran into the forest towards the Yellow River.
After nightfall, the four of them finally rested at a temple of the Yellow River King on the bank of the river.
A tall and fat figure took two steps and sat down on the ground against the earthy wall, a butcher's knife for killing pigs and sheep at his feet.
"Unexpected.... The mountain people in the north are so strong.... I knew that I wouldn't come, so I still had a wild food in the south of the Yangtze River..... Lao Tzu is so fierce, they are not afraid.... His grandmother's... His grandmother's... You are also rice buckets, Lao Tzu has been beaten so much, and you don't say help. β
The fat man who scolded and swore had a fierce face, his fat body showed a handful of black hair on his chest, and he was indeed fierce when he looked at the appearance of his face, and the knife at his feet was quite worn, and there were still a few rusts on the knife surface.
The bonfire rose in the ruined temple, and there were three people around the fire, a bald man, with a palm-sized black birthmark in the corner of his right eye, which looked like a roe deer, and his body was thin;
The other man was much taller than the other three, with long hair hanging down his shoulders and knotted shoulders, a bronze mask on his face, and leather gauntlets on his arms, which looked like they had been rummaged through in some corner, and a dilapidated and dilapidated sword, and an ancient iron sword with a few broken wounds at his feet, now turning in the firelight with a tattered book in his hands.
These four people also look like green forest warriors walking the rivers and lakes.
"Boss, what are the skills of the four of us, you don't know, those dozens of villagers, where have we fought, let's talk about it... Besides..."The bald man broke off a piece of firewood, threw it into the fire, and bent his neck and muttered, "Say it again.... It's not that you want to go to Bianliang and enter the Red Mansion.... Led the wrong way. β
The flames rushed up high, and the fat face that turned around in the red side glared fiercely, but soon moved away in frustration.
The branches crackled twice in the fire, and when a few sparks jumped, the woman in the middle pulled the bald man next to her, "Second brother, don't say that, after all, the eldest brother doesn't want to, and it's the first time we've come to the north, so it's normal to be unfamiliar." β
Hearing this, the fat man's face was much better, he took out a few hard steamed buns from his pocket, distributed them to the three of them, and took one of his own and put it on the branch to roast in front of the fire.
He opened his mouth: "This is our last, all the way north, not even a single family can be robbed, it's really fatal....I don't know if we can make it to Bianliang to the Red Mansion." β
"We don't know if people will accept it or not. The bald man roasted the steamed buns, took a bite on the branch, and chewed his mouth vigorously.
The fat man patted his chest, "Just the four of us, we can get in, but we still have to take a vicious nickname, otherwise when friends on the rivers and lakes protect their names, we don't have them, what a shame." β
As he spoke, the three of them looked at each other for a while, and all looked at the man who was still reading a book and wearing a mask, and the woman rubbed her foot and kicked the other party's foot, and said softly: "You read a lot, let's get one for everyone." β
The man put down the scroll and looked at the three of them, and suddenly stood up and walked out, and the fat man hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?"
"Go out and pee. The man said a word and turned to the door.
The woman straightened her waist and reminded him of the back: "Then be careful that there are wolves nearby..."
.....
In the night sky, the Milky Way flows.
The wild mountains are overgrown with wild trees, and everywhere you can see, you can see that they are shrouded in black, only the sound of the Yellow River flowing can be heard in your ears, the cold moonlight and starlight sprinkle a hazy light from the gap between the leaves, and the man wearing a mask in the forest stepped on the thick fallen leaves.
The silence around you becomes deeper and more secluded.
The man walked to a stream not far behind the ruined temple, unbuckled his belt and prepared to put some of the 'stock' accumulated in his body, when the wind blew through the forest, making him shiver.
When he put on his pants and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a black shadow lying under a tree not far from the stream.
"Wolf?" the masked man's heart tightened, and his whole body trembled, and he was not in a hurry to run away in vigilance, but after a while, he found the figure lying there motionless, and there was some other affirmation in his heart.
The worn-out long sword was held in his hand, and the stiff steamed bun was pinched in the other hand, and he walked over with a gentle pace, and in the cold light, it was indeed a black figure.
In the mask, his eyes rolled, and he whispered to that side, "....but still alive? β
Over there, nothing moved.
"It seems that he is really a dead man, and I don't know if it is a vendetta or a drowning in the water, so let's see if there is anything valuable on my body. Having made up his mind, the masked man leaned in lightly.
Wow-wow-wow
Just as the tip of his sword went to pick up the corpse, an old crow on the tree next to him screamed hoarsely and flew up, the man retracted the broken sword violently, and hurriedly spoke: "Scare me ....."
The word "jump" was uttered, and at the same time as the crow fluttered its wings and left the tree, the air seemed to suddenly contract at this moment.
On the ground, the corpse moved.
The masked man took half a step back in shock, his heels had not yet landed, and the corpse had already stood up and pasted in front of him, and the pitch-black and rotten face was connected to some collapsed skin tissue, which matched the atmosphere of the forest, it was terrifying to the extreme.
"There's a ghost....", the masked man opened his mouth to shout.
However, the opposite arm reached over and grabbed his neck, and the sound was swallowed in his throat, and in the blink of an eye, the five fingers contracted inward, and blood flowed out of the mask.
With a bang, the corpse fell limply to the ground.
The terrifying figure standing was Bai Ning, who was going upstream, and he still had physical strength, but he didn't expect that the rotten poison in the system's three-point return vitality was still staying in his body, constantly eroding, making his skin unable to recover for a while, coupled with the turbulent undercurrent in the Yellow River, the reefs were all over the place, and one accidentally crashed into the reef and was washed to an unknown place.
Lying still before, he was just using his internal force to expel the remaining putrid poison from his body.
Bai Ning looked at the unhung body, put on the clothes on the dead man's body, and then put on the mask, and ate the piece of steamed bun that fell on the ground into his stomach.
And the scroll.
He flipped through it, and suddenly felt something interesting, "The name of the Ghost Prison Knife Technique..... is loud, that is, the second-rate level, but this guy can't ....." The tone was incredible.
Then, he took the sword book into his arms, raised his eyes and looked at the other side of the woods, there was a fire burning in the broken temple, "I'll rest here tonight...."
The iron sword spun around in Bai Ning's hand as if it was alive, and let out a soft groan.
When he walked to the wall, the people inside were still talking, there were many holes in the wall, and the sound came clearly into his ears, and Bai Ning cracked his mouth under the mask, probably laughing.
It turns out that these four people are ordinary people, except for the fat man and the bald man who will have a little shallow fist and foot kung fu, the other two will not know anything, the woman is the concubine of a rich family, and she can't accept the abuse and escape, and the fat man is a butcher, although she looks vicious, but she is a soft character, and her mother-in-law also ran away with people, so she wanted to be a wicked person, so she pulled this bald man from the same township to come out and explore the rivers and lakes.
And the masked man who was killed by Bai Ning, listening to their conversation, seemed to be a peasant kid who couldn't resist his shoulders, and it was not clear what the reason was.
The three fools are just ..... the sword body is back in the sheath, Bai Ning doesn't plan to kill, he just wants to sleep well and recover his strength.
