Chapter 11: Different Paths

"Old man, please. As he spoke, Yan Qing stepped aside and bent down slightly. The surrounding Seven Killing Guards were shocked when they saw it in their eyes, Yan Qing's actions could be said to have given the old man great respect. Although he didn't know what Yan Qing thought, he more or less had a vague idea of that "blood stone" - it was a very rare treasure, rare enough for the high-ranking and powerful people in the Demon Sect to pay attention to.

Although the old man didn't know Yan Qing's origins, just looking at the subtle changes in the expressions of these people around him, he also knew that this person was by no means simple.

For a while, the old man was a little shaken by the decision he had made in his heart before. didn't have time to think about it, and when the invisible pressure around him gradually increased, the old man had to say, "You're welcome." Then he took a step and walked out.

When the old man walked over, Yan Qing straightened up, the smile on his face had already dissipated, and there were more doubts between his eyebrows, and said, "Wait." When the old man heard this, he stopped, his body trembled invisibly, but he didn't turn his head, and just stood quietly with his back to the crowd.

Under the light of the faint blue light, the people of the forest shade village found that the figure of the old man was already rickety. In the past 14 years, the old man has rarely gone out, and they know that it is caused by heartache, and no one can help him. Fourteen years later, when they looked at the old man more closely, they found that the loneliness was still there. Unexpectedly, their hearts were less puzzled and more unbearable.

The mouth opened slightly, and then quietly closed. The foot that stepped out was slowly retracted.

Everyone held their breath at Yan Qing's opening, waiting for his second half of the sentence.

Yan Qing didn't care about the old man's almost rude behavior, and continued: "Old man, please wait a while, I still have some things to arrange." Without waiting for an answer, he turned his head to the person beside him: "Yu Lei, arrange for someone to check around to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”

Although Yu Lei knew that there was no need for this, he still didn't dare to disobey, and respectfully hugged his fists and said: "Yes, deputy commander." ”

The Seven Killer Guards scattered to every part of the village, earnestly searching. Yu Lei originally wanted to leave a few people to guard Yan Qing, but he was signaled by his eyes that there was no need to do this, so only Yan Qing and the people who looked up at the mountain were left in place. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, as if as long as they were far away from the man, their lives would be a little more secure.

Yan Qing stared at the tree-lined mountain, his eyes reflected a magnificent wonder, the light flowed, and he kept thinking in his heart: "Bloodstone, the essence of the spiritual veins in the mountain, and it is rumored that it is the crystallization of the essence and blood of the mountain god, which is of great help to cultivators, especially for the Demon Sect or those who practice evil arts. However, for thousands of years, only six pieces have been found in the world, and all of them have been unearthed in the far north, and Middle-earth has never appeared. Besides, who is this old man talking about?"

At this time, there was a noise not far away, which was mixed with shouting and scolding from time to time. Yan Qing's thoughts were disrupted, his heart was annoyed, and a touch of evil anger flashed on his face. Not long after, several Seven Killing Guards pushed and shoved a man with a disheveled head, the man was extremely restless, constantly twisting his body, and muttering something from time to time.

Yan Qing turned his head and asked the people next to him, "Who is this?" As soon as he spoke, a villager next to him was startled and took several steps back. Yan Qing's face was pale and he didn't say a word, but there was already a little more impatience in the depths of his eyes. Someone in the crowd poked the villager several times in quick succession, signaling him to speak. The villager hurriedly said, "That's a hunter in our Zhuangzi, named Li Cheng." It was fine, but he suddenly became crazy before, and kept saying that there were ghosts chasing him. I don't know much anymore. With that, he closed his mouth tightly and stepped aside, not daring to say anything more.

Soon the man was brought in. Yu Lei walked over from the side and said respectfully: "We found this person in the corner of a courtyard, he kept muttering, and he didn't answer the question, so he had to bring it to ask the deputy commander to send it." ”

Yan Qing said "um", but did not speak, and waited quietly. After everyone came back and confirmed that Zhuangzi had no other cultivators, Yan Qing walked to Li Cheng's side and bowed slightly. Yu Lei understood, grabbed Li Cheng and asked sharply: "Who are you, what have you been talking about?" Li Cheng looked up at everyone, there was horror in his eyes, he swallowed his saliva and said intermittently: "Ghost... Ghosts... There are ghosts..."

In the eyes of most people, this person is already frightened crazy, but they don't think much about the reason.

Yu Lei sneered, "If the ghost wants to kill you, I will kill you earlier, why do you want to keep you until now?" I asked you, have you seen anything strange?" As soon as the words came out, Yu Lei's face changed. He knew that talking to a madman was completely pointless nonsense, and that the deputy commander, whom he had always admired, hated the most was that someone said something inconsequential in front of him. So he didn't dare to come out, and peeked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing frowned slightly, ignoring Yu Lei's gaze, he thought in his heart: This person is not crazy sooner or later, but he is crazy at this time, isn't it related? If he really misses something, he may make a fatal mistake.

So he held the idea of not letting go of the mistake, slowly squatted down, straightened Li Cheng's constantly twisting head, faced himself, and said, "What does that ghost look like? Tell me, I will help you surpass him." ”

Li Cheng, who was constantly shrinking back, heard this, his body was shocked, his eyes didn't dodge, and he looked at the man and said slowly: "You... Are you a god? You can catch ghosts?"

Yan Qing pursed her lips and said lightly, "Not bad." Li Cheng lowered his head, his eyes wandered again, as if he was seriously thinking about something. After a while, he said cautiously, "You mean what you say." After Yan Qing agreed, he seemed to be happy, looked around, leaned his head over, and said with a look of embarrassment: "There are many, many ghosts, more than a dozen... No, it's hundreds... It's not right, it's many, too many, too many..."

Yan Qing's face flashed with impatience, and his outstretched hand increased his strength and said coldly: "Tell the point." Li Cheng only felt a sharp pain in his jaw bones, his body shrank back, he closed his eyes tightly and screamed loudly: "It's Chen Tianzhi, and there is Cheng who doesn't know them, they all said that I refused to save them back then, and now they want to take me with me, help, help, gods-"

Ahead, the old man's body seemed to tremble, and then slowly lowered his head.

After Li Cheng finished shouting with a sharp voice, he suddenly broke free of the hand that was pinching his chin, and hurriedly got up and ran towards the mountain wall next to the tree-lined village, screaming as he ran: "There are gods here, kill all of you! Kill all of you! Hahaha-"

Yan Qing raised his hand to stop his subordinates who were about to pursue, staring coldly at the direction of Li Cheng's running, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, when Li Cheng ran to a distance of about two feet from the mountain wall, the light curtain outside the mountain wall suddenly rose with a burst of blue light, and Li Cheng bumped into it without noticing, and was instantly bounced off and fell to the ground. He grinned and got up, his expression ugly, but he knew he wasn't hurt much by the speed at which he got up. His face was confused, not knowing what was going on, and he looked around, not knowing if he was going to break in again.

When the green light rose, the Seven Killing Guards sacrificed their magic weapons to guard Yan Qing's side, and in the midst of the brilliance, a trace of joy or ruthlessness appeared on Yan Qing's face. In the surprised voices of the people of Lin Yin Village, Yan Qing snatched the magic weapon of one person next to him, jumped up, raised his hand and waved the blade in his palm, and the magic weapon of Zhenyuan surging was brilliant, and a sword more than half a person high slashed out. Along the way, a knife mark was ripped out of the ground below where the knife flew over, and rubble flew wildly.

In the sharp roar, the knife slashed at Li Cheng's back, and in an instant, blood splashed everywhere, and Li Cheng, who had not yet made any sound, hit it again under the indomitable knife momentum.

After being drenched in blood, the originally beautiful cyan light curtain became like a powerful ghost emerging from the Nine Hidden Underground Mansions, and a chill instantly surged into the hearts of the people of Lin Yin Village. Many women ran to the side and retched when they saw this scene, and although the men did not feel like throwing up, anger was inevitable. In the eyes of these people, a big living person was like a worthless cabbage, and when he said that he would take it away, several young men said angrily: "What are you doing! Why are you killing people!"

As soon as the words came out, the Seven Killing Guards beside Yan Qing turned their heads one after another, staring at them deadly, with murderous intent looming in their eyes. Several young people knew that if they continued to talk about it, they would definitely end up in the same situation, so they had to stand back with hatred.

Li Cheng's body hit the blue light, did not fly back as before, after a stalemate, a whirlpool-like ripple slowly appeared on the light curtain, the huge and flat mountain wall seemed to disappear at this moment, let Li Cheng be sucked into the whirlpool, blood stains, Li Cheng had long since lost his voice, I don't know if he had died at the moment when the knife hit.

In the air, there was a faint smell of blood. In the mountains, there were faint ghost cries.

Perhaps, it is the sound of joy.

The old man, who had been silent for a long time, saw this scene, and said with a blue face: "You only promised before, don't move them." What is this?"

Yan Qing glanced at the old man lightly and said, "He is already crazy, life is better than death." As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Lei: "The old man's legs and feet are not good, find a few people to take care of them." Let's go. ”

The old man watched Yan Qing walk by expressionlessly, and a burst of anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't open his legs no matter what. Yu Lei walked to the side and said, "Old man, let's go." Don't ask for trouble, aren't they all your countrymen behind you? ”

Glancing at the old man, Yu Lei turned around and said to the chilling crowd: "If you dare to reveal our whereabouts to others, that will be the end." Saying that, he ignored it, walked to the old man's side, and said in a tone that was more respectful than Yan Qing: "Please." ”
