"There was some trouble on the way, so I returned early. Geng Er was waiting outside the city and asked me to take you out of the city."
"This knife...?"
"This is a demon sword. I don't dare to sell it. I keep it to cause trouble. Let's take a chance and give it a try!"
"There is a shopkeeper from Laoguan!"
"Oh, if you weren't afraid of getting into trouble, who would mind your own business? Let's go..."
It was the storekeeper Guan who came to Yu Ye.
It was reported that Geng Er had returned early, but was unable to enter the city, so he entrusted shopkeeper Guan to take his men out of the city. Yu Ye was about to leave, but he happily agreed. Shopkeeper Guan already knew the secret, so he brought a bamboo pole, inserted a long knife that had nowhere to store, and wrapped a few ropes around it. Yu Ye stuffed the ring into his boots, put the boning knife into the package, and then walked out of the guest room carrying the bamboo pole.
But there was a person guarding outside the courtyard gate, half of his face was bruised and it turned out to be Yi Ding. When he saw Yu Ye appearing, he hurriedly ran away. But Yi Zhuang was not seen. Perhaps that guy was looking for someone to take revenge.
Yu Ye didn't dare to delay and followed Shopkeeper Guan straight to the city gate.
A moment later, the tall city gate was in front of us. It was still heavily guarded. More than a dozen strong men were checking the passers-by one by one.
Shopkeeper Guan found one of the demons and secretly offered him a favor, claiming to be carrying goods. Most of the people guarding the door recognized the warehouse manager and saw that he was accompanied by his assistants and ropes and sticks for transporting goods, so they waved to let him go. When they arrived outside the city, shopkeeper Guan whispered a few words and turned back as if he was relieved. Yu Ye followed the avenue to the west, gradually speeding up his pace.
There is a forest several hundred feet away.
A familiar cart was parked at the edge of the forest, but only two red deer were left. There was a man sitting next to the car, his head covered with a bamboo hat, and he slowly stood up with a knife. It was Geng Er, his face was a little pale, and his thighs were tied with cloth strips that were soaked in blood.
"Brother Geng?"
Although Yu Ye had some guesses, he was still shocked.
Geng Er shook his head and gestured: "It's not too late to tell you on the way, let's go -"
At the same time, Yi Ding was waiting in front of the inn, and saw Yi Zhuang coming from a distance. He hurriedly shouted: "The boy is out of the city, where are the men you summoned?"
But Yi Zhuang looked downcast and said, "Humph, no one can help me."
"What's the reason?"
"I'm new here and haven't made friends with many brothers yet. No matter how many times I plead, no one pays attention to me!"
"this……"
"Earn money and find a sorcerer to depend on. Whoever dares to look down on you or me will definitely make him look good, huh..."
…
In the afternoon.
The cart stopped again.
Yu Ye helped Geng Er sit on the grass beside the road to rest, fed two red deer, and brought meat from the car. The two of them ate and talked.
On the way, Yu Ye learned the whole story.
Geng Er was helping shopkeeper Guan deliver goods, but was intercepted by a demon again. He bullied him into being alone and hacked him to death. Perhaps due to bad luck, the opponent's two companions were alerted, and a hard battle ensued. Although he won in the end, he lost two red deer and was stabbed in the leg. He was afraid of attracting more demons, so he hurried back to Black Wind City. Unexpectedly, the city gate did not allow large cars to enter and exit, so he had to entrust shopkeeper Guan to take Yu Ye outside the city.
"Alas, this time I encountered bad luck and failed one after another. However, my taking you out of the city has nothing to do with friendship and is purely selfish. I only ask you to escort me home to recuperate, but I am afraid that I will not be able to leave within three to five months. If you don’t want to stay in Panlong Town, you can work as a clerk in Shopkeeper Guan’s warehouse!”
"Um!"
"I didn't expect that you have a fair face, you are handsome, you are young, and you are very skilled. If you join Black Wind City, you will be far more promising than you being a clerk!"
"Um!"
"Brother, I have something to say, it's up to you whether you listen or not!"
"Listen!"
"I would rather be a villain than a villain."
"Been taught a lesson!"
Afternoon the next day.
The cart arrived at a valley, Luling.
Geng Er took out a money bag and handed it to Yu Ye, then drove into the valley alone. He refused to see him off and refused to inform the village where he lived.
However, he pointed out the way to Panlong Valley.
Yu Ye was carrying a package and a bamboo pole. He glanced at the sky and started running.
Panlong Valley is still dozens of miles away, half a day's journey away.
He lifted his feet and was three to five feet away, running as fast as flying.
The previous injuries have gradually recovered. Although he has no cultivation, he is good at the Taoist light body and self-defense techniques. He has strong muscles and bones and extraordinary strength. He has been tempered by the Resurrection Fruit and Thunder Tribulation, and he also has the Divine Eyes. Bless him, he is not afraid of any demons or demons.
This is what he currently relies on for survival, but it is far from enough. Above the demon warriors, there are demon guards, demon generals, etc. If he wants to continue to live, he can only regain his cultivation...
Dusk.
A figure walked through the wilderness and jungle, climbed over the rocks and cliffs, and came to the top of the mountain.
Double Demon Valley.
Yu Ye did not return to Panlong Valley, but went directly to Shuangyao Valley.
After leaving for many days, the valley is still silent.
Yu Ye jumped down from the top of the mountain, passed through the pond and towering trees, found the cave entrance at the foot of the mountain, and plunged in.
The fire buried in ashes has been extinguished.
Yu Ye had no time to pay attention. He put down the package, took out the jade ring and placed it on the ground. He pulled out the long knife from the bamboo pole, and then breathed lightly.
He had no consciousness and could not control the ring, so he simply chopped it into pieces.
The ring comes from a demon warrior, and it should contain demon cultivation techniques. If you know the relevant techniques, you can try to break the seal of the Qi Sea.
Yu Ye looked at the long knife in his hand.
The knife is five feet long, made entirely of black iron, and weighs only about ten kilograms. It may be embedded with a talisman array, making it look quite sharp.
He looked at the ring on the ground again and struck it down with a knife with both hands.
"boom--"
He has practiced swordsmanship, and the sword is the same. The sword is accurate and accurate, and he can chop a ring with perfect accuracy. Unexpectedly, there was an explosion, light flashed, and an inexplicable force came back, knocking him to the ground with a bang, and the long knife in his hand flew out...
After a while, the echoing sound gradually faded away, but ashes still filled the entire cave.
Yu Ye was lying on the ground in a miserable state, but his eyes were open, and the black and white light flickered slightly in his pupils.
As far as the eye can see, there are a few pieces of jade scattered on the ground, but there are no volumes, no jade slips, no elixirs, or sundries, nothing...
Yu Ye confirmed that he had read it correctly, then climbed up and staggered out of the cave, breathing heavily with a look of disappointment on his face.
Maybe you are eager for money, or you are obsessed with it, but you forget that the ring for collecting things is the empty place of mustard seeds. Once the restriction is destroyed, the void disappears, and the items stored will also disappear.
His wish to find the demon cultivating technique came to nothing.
And even if it comes true, so what? If he got the jade slip of the martial art, he would still be helpless without spiritual consciousness. It seems that we can only find another way...
Autumn morning.
Yuye stood by the pond.
The body of the golden salamander is no longer visible underwater. It has sunk into the mud, as if returning to dust, returning to heaven and earth. Perhaps, this is its best destination.
And where is his destination in the wild...
At noon.
Yu Ye came to Panlong Valley.
The once-closed wine shop started fighting again, and the shopkeeper was replaced by an old man, who nodded and smiled at him, showing extremely humble kindness.
More than twenty feet away is the warehouse. Kui Niu is sitting under the hay shed, gnawing on meat bones comfortably. In the yard behind him, two more bundles of medicinal materials were piled up. As long as business continues and he can support his family, he, the shopkeeper, is content.
A man walked up the road, carrying a package and a bamboo pole. The tattered animal skins were replaced by neat robes.
Dude is back?
Kui Niu couldn't help but jumped up and said with wide eyes: "Hey, why are you alone? Has the goods been delivered? Where is my money?"
It was Yu Ye. He walked closer, put down the bamboo pole and package, and took out a money bag from his arms.
"Brother Geng was injured by a demon. This is the money for the sale of goods. He asked me to hand it over on his behalf. Please check it with the shopkeeper!"
"Is he in fear of his life?"
"It will be raised for three to five months. It is expected to be fine."
"That guy is lucky. And why is your kid fine?"
"Thanks to Brother Geng for taking care of me!"
"Did you steal my money?"
"No!!"
"Hey, your face is whitened, and you look like a human being. You have new clothes. Where did you get the money? Where's my knife?"
Yu Ye handed over the money bag and took out the boning knife from his arms and put it on the stone table. Kui Niu still refused, so he had to take out another money bag and said, "This is the money I earned. You should thank the shopkeeper for taking me in!"
"Ha ha!"
Kui Niu laughed proudly. All he cared about was gold and silver.
Yu Ye was too lazy to say anything more. When he saw the meat and bones in the pottery basin steaming, he reached out and grabbed one and started to eat it.
Kui Niu hurriedly returned to the warehouse to store the silver, complaining non-stop——
"Geng Er is recovering from his injuries at home. The only option is to find another big car. I'm afraid the two-cent commission will be inevitable..."
Yu Ye took two bites of the bones and saw a wine jar on the stone table, so he picked it up and took a sip.
Kui Niu turned back and said anxiously: "How dare you steal my wine——"
"Pooh--"
Yu Ye felt the wine was bitter and opened his mouth to spit it out.
Kui Niu became even more angry and said: "Boy, I will make you starve tomorrow!"
"Hey!"
Yu Ye smiled and said: "Brother, shopkeeper, calm down, I will leave today!!"
He grabbed the package and picked up the bamboo pole.
Kui Niu was startled and said: "Why are you leaving? I am short of manpower. Oh, I will reward you with this jar of wine..."
"I'm going to Black Wind City!"
"You... why are you going to Black Wind City? Oh, Geng Er has found a new shopkeeper for you?"
Quinton was furious and shouted: "You are begging for food everywhere. I took you in, but you go to show filial piety to others, you are ungrateful..."
Yu Ye shook his head and said: "I am not looking for a new shopkeeper, but I am joining Black Wind City!"
"Submit yourself to Black Wind City? Become a demon??"
"Um!"
"If you have thin arms and thin legs, I can crush you to death. Why do you think you are a monster? Why do you bully others..."
"Click——"
Yu Ye was reprimanded repeatedly and couldn't help but lose his patience. He crushed the bamboo pole with his foot, picked up the handle of the knife with his toes and "swish" in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't bully people, I kill people!"
"Demon Sword..."
Kui Niu was startled.
He was well-informed and recognized the origin of the long sword at a glance. The demon sword belongs to the demon warrior and will not fall into the hands of others unless the person dies.
"Brother the shopkeeper, take your leave!"
Yu Ye put the long knife through the package and put it on his shoulder, took two steps back and turned to leave.
"Yeah, let's go..."
Kui Niu didn't dare to keep him, but he felt it was inappropriate. He hurriedly caught up, took out a few pieces of silver and forced it into Yu Ye's hand.
"Please accept your kindness. In the future, you will be prosperous. Please take good care of my brother——"
