In the seventy-sixth year of Emperor Wen, on the periphery of Zhaoyao Mountain, "Quick, quick, the young master should have been taken in this direction by that beast." A rush of footsteps broke the quiet jungle once more. The weeds around it were a mess, and the trunks of the trees around them were visibly scratched, as if they had been forcibly hit by some hard object. The intricate footsteps swayed in the bushes. Suddenly, the old man in black who was looking for direction at the front of the team roared angrily, followed by a cold sword light, and before everyone could react, they saw that the sword light had cut down a few remaining fruit cores, and everyone looked at each other. "Haha, Uncle Zhou, you're a little late, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

As soon as the words fell, he saw a black shadow fall from the top of everyone's heads, shook his body and stood still, ignoring his ragged clothes and bloody face, which was the 'young master' that everyone was looking for all the way. The young master was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the old man opposite had gray hair, although he could not be said to have a crane hair and a childish face, but there was not much old age on his face. However, it is not uncommon for cultivators like the old man to be like this in this world, and it is said that after the heavenly realm, he can truly live with heaven and earth, but no one knows how it is, and the existence of the second emperor of Wenwu is an immortal far away from the mortal world after all, and ordinary people can't reach it at all, so they can't find out more news.

"Young master, are you okay, are you hurt?" A young man on the side, who was about the same age as the young master, with a layer of oil on his face, asked. "It's okay, how could something happen with Uncle Zhou, don't worry, Zhou Che." Uncle Zhou on the side said helplessly: "Young master, you can't be so willful next time, otherwise if something goes wrong with you, how can you let me explain to the master" The young man smiled and slapped two haha and said: "Uncle Zhou, I'm not fine, besides, I didn't expect this beast to run so fast, otherwise how dare I let your old man worry, right?" I'll be sure to pay attention next time. The old man could only sigh helplessly, and the little resentment accumulated on the road just now also dissipated.

"Anyway, young master, how is the ground lizard you are chasing, has it been solved by you?" asked the young man named Zhou Che on the side with a serious face. As soon as they heard this question, the servants who were originally in charge of guarding around couldn't help but glance in this direction, after all, if this demon beast was really killed by Xu Weihong, the only son of the Xu family, one of the three great families in this town, Once the news spreads, then this town demon city and some nearby forces may have to take some measures, because in the southern mountains, there are only a handful of people who can kill second-grade demon beasts at Xu Weihong's age, and two of them are the legendary two emperors of civil and martial arts, and most of the rest of them died under the assassination between various forces.

Just now, the young man alone hit the lizard hard, although the resistance of the demon beast's dying struggle caused a lot of accidents, and Xu Weihong was whipped away by a tail of more than ten zhang, but in the end, Xu Weihong also had the idea of exchanging his life with injuries, and he insisted on carrying that volley to kill the demon beast, and inserted half a spear into the neck of the lizard, and then was pulled into the grass on the side, but almost as soon as he landed, a black shadow came out of the grass, and chased straight towards the demon beast, grabbing the handle of the half of the gun that was still exposed outside with both hands, and was dragged away by the demon beast, let the ground lizard drag Xu Weihong, who was holding on to the handle of half of the gun, all the way around.

There was a mess along the way, and although they immediately chased after them, they were still thrown away for some distance. "You said that ground lizard, over there, has been solved by me, but this demon beast is running too fast, and it has rough skin and thick flesh, and my bones are about to fall apart along the way" Xu Weihong stretched out his hand and pointed towards the woods not far away. The surrounding Hu never couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, this trip was selected by Zhou Chong, the manager of the Xu family, which shows that they are not only more capable of fighting, but the old man on the side is also a little surprised, which means that as long as the young man does not die halfway, he can steadily enter any second-rate sect on the continent in the next big competition, and even if he behaves better, those first-class sects are not impossible...... That Xu family can be said to be a real step to the sky, after all, as long as the ordinary family children can be selected by some third-rate sects, it can be said to be happy.

The old man looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and immediately someone walked towards the jungle, and finally found a huge lizard covered in earthy yellow scale armor under a thick tree and fell in a pool of blood, with a broken spear stuck in his neck, and the blood left from the neck had not yet completely coagulated。

In the twilight, a team of carriages and horses slowly drove to the city gate, from time to time there will be some blood with the shaking of the carriage and drip down the dark cloth, the guard of the city gate did not say anything after seeing the old man in the lead, and let the group enter the city, until the group entered the back door of the Xu family The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and told the others what to do and hurriedly walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man was pacing back and forth, and after seeing the old man walking alone, he hurriedly walked towards the old man and asked, "Old Zhou, how is Hong'er?" The old man told the man about the situation along the way, and after the man repeatedly confirmed that it was his son who killed a second-grade demon beast with his own strength, he couldn't help laughing, and the old man was also laughed angrily, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, think about what to do in the future after this incident." Hearing this, the smile on the man's face gradually calmed down, and he turned to look at the southern mountains in the lobby and was silent. When the old man saw that the man began to rub the wrist guard sewn from deer skin on his wrist with his back hand, he stepped forward and stood still behind the man, but he did not speak, because the old man knew what the man was worried about.

"Brother Zhou, do you know the details of the people you brought over?If there is that kind of unclear or vague, ......" Speaking of this, the man's eyes revealed a fierceness. "Don't worry, family master, I will take care of these things, and there will be no other rumors to reveal it" There was no wave in the old man's voice. The man was obviously relieved and said, "Then there is Brother Lao, and when the Hong'er competition is over, our brothers will have a good drink." If I hadn't had you to deal with all this mess, I probably wouldn't have been able to be so idle. "Xiaohong and my uncompetitive grandson were both grown up by me, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I don't want anything to happen to Xiaohong." "Alright, you can deal with those people first, I will take a look at the route again, this time there must be no mistakes in any way!" With that, the man continued to turn his head to look at the southern mountain map and was silent. The old man slowly withdrew from the hall without saying a word, and gradually disappeared into the night.

In the spring of the seventy-third year of Emperor Wen, Jiangnan Road, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and in the teahouse in the west of the city, "Hey, have you heard, there is a new Oiran in the Flower God Pavilion, which is said to look like a flower and jade, and it is more than ten times more beautiful than the previous Oiran." "Then how can you not hear about it, our brother has always been the most well-informed in this regard, but you may not know, the new Oiran is beautiful or beautiful, but this seems to be a bit of a problem, the whole person is cold, and there is no such femininity." Someone whispered, gesturing to his head as he spoke. "What do we care about, our brothers are going to have fun, what's the matter, you still want to be the same as our eldest son Li, but I heard Miss Liu's "Green God" on the street and directly redeemed her, we rough people, no matter how good the song is, it's not something we can understand, right, besides, we don't have that money. ”

"Yes, but poor to poor, the new Oiran should be seen. "I don't know who will buy this new Oiran this time, but don't be the third sea again." "I guess it will be him, people are rich, there can be a few richer than him in the world, what can be done, don't care about these for now, come and come, drink and drink." The two poor drunkards chatted in an inconspicuous corner on the first floor, telling them what they knew about the things they knew, and they were happy to drink, but they didn't know that in one of the private rooms on the second floor sat the "Master Li" they had just mentioned.

At this time, Li Taiqing was still sitting at the table, slowly tasting tea alone, the tea on the other side of the table had not been touched, but the person had already gone away, leaving only the book on the table of the "Qingshen" piano score, although it was just an ordinary piano score, but because it was able to play the same tone as Emperor Wen's hand "Qingxue" eight or nine points and was widely spread, Li Taiqing was shocked when he first heard it, and immediately redeemed himself for the girl, it is said that the girl was born with a blue goose feather snow, and the whole city was covered by cyan snow.

I have to think of the unparalleled Emperor Wen in the world, and the man who wrote this "Qingshen" is her father, although this score is just an ordinary score, but it also has the effect of clearing the heart and calming the mind, although the effect is not strong, just the tone can be better than all other imitation versions, once it is circulated, it will attract many women to buy frantically. And the girl's name came from this, named Qingxue. Thinking of these gossip, Li Taiqing thought of the cold girl sitting opposite her before, and couldn't help but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Liu Qingxue? As he spoke, he played with the teacup in his hand, and continued to listen to all kinds of conversations in the teahouse.
