On the street, two people walked.
An old man and a young man.
Early in the morning, Leng Chen took Yu Ye to go shopping with him. Who would have thought that when the weather is just right, the market that should be noisy turns out to be deserted. However, there were soldiers wearing armor and weapons walking back and forth. If the two of them weren't wearing guard uniforms, they would have been driven back.
"Oh, all these wine shops are closed too!"
Leng Chen complained.
After walking around for half an hour, all the shops, big and small, I saw along the way were closed. Occasionally I see one or two pedestrians who look panicky.
According to Leng Chen, the reason why he went shopping was to collect a few jars of good wine, but now he could only return disappointed.
Yu Ye wanted to use some animal skins to refine armor-breaking talismans, but it was also difficult to achieve his wish.
"It's boring, go back!"
After walking around for a few streets, their hands were still empty, and the two of them walked back to where they came from.
“Junior brother’s contribution to this trip to Lanling City is not small!”
"Senior brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly!"
"Haha, in Shili Fort and Hengshui Station, you repelled powerful enemies and saved your fellow sects. In Lanling Underground Palace, it was you who rescued the troubled people and reversed the crisis. Your achievements are obvious to all. I mean... you want to gain a foothold in the Immortal Sect in the future. , you might as well take this opportunity to pay homage to a master. Only if someone can teach you through words and deeds and provide guidance and care will you be able to go far and steadily!"
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice!"
"You are young and energetic, like to be unique, and have strange magical powers. It is inevitable that you will be suspected by others. I do believe in your character..."
"boom--"
The door of a house more than ten feet away suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers and more than a dozen men, women, and children rushed out.
The men, women, and children, all with disheveled hair and bloodstains on their bodies, had obviously been beaten and dragged to the streets by wolf-like soldiers. Then the sword flashed, the head fell to the ground, blood flowed, and there were cries.
Yu Ye and Leng Chen slowly stopped, both staring in shock.
No need to think too much, this is Prince Jin searching for his brother's accomplices. Even women and old people were not spared, and they were all beheaded in the street.
"Oh, let's go this way——"
Leng Chen pointed to the alley aside, wanting to take a detour.
Immortals and mortals do not interfere with each other, so it is naturally inconvenient for immortal disciples to interfere with secular affairs.
Yu Ye frowned and turned into the alley with Leng Chen.
"mother--"
Suddenly there was a childish and frightened cry, and a girl several years old rushed out of the yard. The last woman was about to be killed at the neck, and she couldn't help but said heartbreakingly: "Nan'er, mother asked you to hide, you deserve to live, don't dare to die..."
A soldier reached out and grabbed the girl, raising his sword with a grin.
"stop--"
Yu Ye couldn't bear it any longer and flew over.
The soldier was a little surprised when he saw that he was wearing a guard's uniform, but he still raised his knife and slashed the child over in a pool of blood.
They are far apart and cannot be stopped by the wild.
But the weak woman suddenly stood up and rushed towards the child like crazy, waving her hands and wailing miserably: "My daughter——"
The sword flashed again and blood spurted out!
The woman fell to the ground with a bang and died. And she still stretched out her hand, but could no longer hold her child...
Yu Ye's eyes were about to burst, and someone else raised his hand and waved a sword light in mid-air.
Seeing the ferocity of his approach, the soldiers tried to resist him with their swords, but "Clang, Clang" the blade broke and their limbs flew away. But in the blink of an eye, there were more than twenty dead bodies on the ground.
Yu Ye fell down, and a stream of blood dropped from the sword in his hand. And when he looked at the mother and daughter in a pool of blood, he was still filled with grief and anger because of the lingering evil spirits! "Oh my God!"
Leng Chen hurriedly ran over and urged: "You dare to kill a mortal, you are in big trouble, leave quickly——"
He grabbed Yu Ye's arm, jumped up to the roof and ran away.
At the same time, the soldiers' shouts came from the distance——
"Catch the traitor..."
In the deserted alley, two figures fell down.
When Yu Ye landed, he still had a murderous look on his face, holding his green steel sword in his hand. The tragic situation of the woman and child still lingers before my eyes.
Leng Chen looked back and forth, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and said thankfully: "Well, I ran away fast enough, no one should have seen..." He glanced at it, then stamped his feet and said: "Junior brother, why don't you put your sword away? "
Yu Ye took a deep breath and put away the long sword in his hand.
"Hey, your sword is not from the Immortal Sect?"
Leng Chen suddenly noticed something, but saw that Yu Ye had gone straight forward. He hurriedly chased after him, and complained through the voice transmission: "Little junior brother, don't blame senior brother for being nagging, you are too reckless, how can you kill indiscriminately!"
Yu Ye's face was cold and he said nothing.
"I know you can't bear to see the mother and daughter die tragically, but you can save them for a while, but you can't save them forever! Those soldiers were just following orders. You killed people with great pleasure, but you thought about the soldiers' parents, wives and children. If not, how should people live their lives?”
Yu Ye ignored him and Leng Chen just kept talking——
"The trip to Lanling City has long been destined for today's disaster. And if it weren't for the insatiable desires of the two young masters, even if the Immortal Sect wanted to intervene in the battle for the king, there would be nothing to do. Junior brother should know that everything has a cause and effect, and everything cannot escape reincarnation... …”
After passing through the alley, we came to Lanling Lake.
The lake water is as clear as yesterday, and the inner city is still draped in red and colorful and looks like a festive scene. The heavily guarded soldiers on the bridge had a sinister murderous aura, and the wind blowing in their faces also contained a hint of blood.
"Both monks and mortals have unforgettable joys and sorrows, difficulties that cannot be overcome, and entanglements that cannot be escaped. Junior brother, the same goes for you and me..."
Yu Ye walked forward along the edge of the lake, his expression returning to normal. Leng Chen was talking about his past events from the side, with more words of encouragement——
"I think I was young and frivolous, compassionate and merciful. I used to get drunk to express my feelings and forget about the mountains and rivers. In the end, I was just a mirror, a mirror, a water, a moon, and a sky. I regretted it. Junior brother, please don't imitate me and waste this life in a mediocre way. When you have the power to reach the sky and the earth, With your great magical power, not to mention saving a mother and daughter, even if you change the world and recreate the universe, it will be easy..."
"Thank you, senior brother, for your teaching!"
"Huh?"
"Even if you are as stupid as me, you should understand the painstaking efforts of my senior brother!"
Yu Ye's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart, and he bowed deeply to Leng Chen.
In the former Daze Jianghu, Mo Can's words have stuck with him to this day. In today's Lanling City, this senior brother's persuasion may serve him well for the rest of his life!
"Haha, your temperament is similar to mine back then. I'm afraid you will follow in my footsteps!"
"I was young and ignorant, not trapped by love."
"Make fun of me old man?"
"Don't dare!"
"Your murderous sword doesn't seem to belong to the Qizhou Immortal Sect..."
At this moment, a call came from the distance——
"Senior Brother Leng, Junior Brother Yu!"
Tens of feet away, Bai Zhi and Che Ju were waving.
"What's the matter?"
"Uncle Mo is looking for you two everywhere, come back home quickly!"
Yu Ye and Leng Chen exchanged glances and followed Bai Zhi and Che Ju back.
After a while, he returned to the backyard of the Young Master's Mansion. The courtyard was actually full of people, including not only Mo Xiao and a group of Immortal Sect disciples, but also Ge Xuan, who had become the steward of the inner city, and a group of armored and armed soldiers.
"Leng Chen, Yu Ye!"
Mo Xiao's expression was a little solemn and he asked aloud: "Where have you two been?"
Ge Xuan shook his head gently.
A group of soldiers looked angry.
Bai Zhi, Che Ju and other immortal disciples had different expressions.
Yu Ye's eyes glanced around and he cupped his hands. Before he could say anything, he heard Leng Chen laugh and say, "Haha, my junior brother and I are strolling by the lake!"
"You and Yu Ye killed innocent people indiscriminately, resulting in the death of twenty-one soldiers. Is this possible?"
"That's absolutely not the case!"
"An old man and a young man, dressed in black clothes, killed someone and then ran away over the wall. If it wasn't you and Yu Ye, who could it be?"
"If Yu Ye and I dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately on the street, how are we different from animals?"
"Someone saw it with their own eyes!"
"In that case, why not let him testify face to face?"
Leng Chen stretched out his hand to hold his beard, very calmly.
Mo Xiao stopped asking any more questions and looked at one person coldly.
It was a soldier in his thirties with a fierce face. He raised his hand and said, "I saw with my own eyes that two guards of the palace killed people in the street..."
"Wait!"
Leng Chen walked up to the soldiers and asked curiously: "Since I saw it with my own eyes, how did the two guards kill more than twenty strong men? Since I saw it with my own eyes, why did you let them escape without stopping them? "
"It is said that the guards in the house are experts in cultivating immortals, and I can't catch up with them..."
"As an expert in cultivating immortals, do you have any magical powers?"
"this……"
The soldier should be the leader, but he is also brave and knowledgeable, but he is constantly being questioned and does not know how to respond.
Leng Chen became more and more aggressive and said: "You said that my junior brother and I killed people in the street. It can be seen that the two of us used our methods like this -"
He raised his hand and pointed, and a sword light rushed into the air, then swooped and circled, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly enveloped the entire courtyard.
The soldier's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly said: "I've never seen it before..."
"Have you seen my junior brother kill someone?"
"Didn't see clearly..."
Leng Chen waved his sleeves and put away the sword light, his face darkened.
"Since I saw it with my own eyes, how could I not see clearly? Are you entertaining me and my junior brother, or are you deliberately framing trouble to harm others?"
The soldier hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
Leng Chen raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Go away——"
In the past, this senior brother was kind-hearted and loved to joke, but once he got angry, it was quite scary.
The soldiers were so frightened that they backed away and looked at Mo Xiao and Ge Xuan as if asking for help. Seeing that the two masters ignored him, he had no choice but to escape from the courtyard with his subordinates in despair.
Yu Ye never said a word, but he got rid of a disaster in the blink of an eye.
He looked at Leng Chen with sincere admiration!
But I saw this Senior Brother cupped his hands towards Mo Xiao and said calmly: "I killed the person, let Uncle Mo punish him!"
Yu Ye said in astonishment: "Senior Brother Leng..."
"hehe!"
Then I heard Ge Xuan laugh bitterly and said: "Regardless of whether he killed someone or not, Young Master Jin has already become wary. He ordered me to tell Uncle Mo to please leave Lanling City today. But -"
Mo Xiao nodded silently.
Ge Xuan continued: "Yunchuan Peak sent a message that you do not need to return to the mountain gate, but you have another important task, go to Xuanfeng..."
