Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin were lying on the roof of the Wang family, the richest village in the village, looking around cautiously, not seeming to be afraid of the rain.
After Li Yi left with Zhang Chuxin, he was brought here.
Li Yi still can't figure out why he agreed to Zhang Chuxin at that time.
Thinking about it now, he suddenly realized that maybe it was Zhang Chuxin who said he would only rob people and not hurt innocent people, so he followed him in a moment of confusion.
They uncovered a tile on the weakest guarded roof of the mansion, and Zhang Chuxin also took out a map from his pocket. Comparing the left and right, it seems that it has been planned for a long time.
Zhang Chuxin took out two pills and handed one to Li Yi.
Zhang Chuxin opened a strange bottle and poured the contents from the opened gap.
The smoke in the bottle slowly fell, and the guards in the room fell one after another.
Only then did Li Yi realize that the bottle contained poison.
Zhang Chuxin seemed to see Li Yi's worry and said. "Don't worry, the poison won't kill people, it just makes them temporarily comatose. This gang leader has a sense of discretion."
Li Yi complained that the so-called sense of propriety is nothing more than knowing this kind of business.
Soon after, he and Zhang Chuxin walked into the Wang family's treasury.
Zhang Chuxin moved smoothly and opened several large iron boxes in the room.
Zhang Chuxin smiled, picked up a box and left.
But as soon as he reached the door, he turned back again, as if he was out of spite. Li Yi reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist, and carved it on the wall. "Do justice for God, the perpetrator."
He thought for a while and asked Li Yi again. "By the way, what's your name?"
Even his accomplices don’t know. Come to think of it, no one can be a thief to this extent.
"Li Yi."
When he heard Li Yi's name, he instantly remembered it. "Chu Yi."
He put Li Yi's sword back into its scabbard, turned around and left.
Li Yi followed him and protected him.
They did not empty the house of its contents.
In Zhang Chuxin's words, a small amount of punishment can lead to a new life in the future.
The next day, when Li Yi got up, Zhang Chuxin had already gotten up and was standing outside the ruined temple, staring blankly at a sapling taller than him.
He couldn't help but asked, curious. "This is?"
Zhang Chuxin did not answer him, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question. "Do you think this tree can become a towering tree?"
Li Yi shrugged. "The drought in Western Chu is constant, but it is not as smooth as Nanmu and Beili. It seems difficult to become a towering tree."
"Li Yi, then you have to keep an eye on it."
As Zhang Chuxin spoke, he sat up in meditation under the tree, doing nothing but holding his breath. But as the spiritual energy in him slowly rose, the sapling actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Li Yi finally no longer doubted that this sapling would become a towering tree in the future, at least complementing this young man who wanted to be famous all over the world.
When Zhang Chuxin opened his eyes, Li Yi said again. "What are you going to do with that thing last night?"
"Since we are under the banner of doing justice for heaven, we naturally rob the rich and give to the poor. With Xi Chu's appearance, why are we afraid that there are few poor people?"
Li Yi nodded, yes, there is no shortage of poor people in this world, let alone a place that has been captured by shadows.
In the afternoon, Li Yi said goodbye to Zhang Chuxin, but he didn't think about how Zhang Chuxin robbed the rich and gave to the poor. After all, Zhang Chuxin doesn't really look like a bad guy.
Zhang Chuxin really wanted to keep him, but seeing that he had already decided to leave, he had no choice but to say goodbye with regret.
They stood outside the dilapidated temple and exchanged hands. If they hadn't really had little friendship, everyone would have thought they were acquaintances.
Li Yi said. "I still have toxins on my body, but I need to go north quickly this time. A senior said that there is a senior named Huang Kai in Jiangfeng Town who can help me detoxify. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't see you again if I don't tell you. If you can’t even reach the Taiping ruins, you will die.”
At this time, Adou, who was next to Zhang Chuxin, spoke angrily. "Poison, Young Master Li, you don't like our gang leader's medical skills so much? Our gang leader is a disciple of the second generation Medicine King."
Li Yi was stunned, and when he looked at Zhang Chuxin, Zhang Chuxin just smiled.
"Is what Adou said true?"
"What is the successor? My senior brother is the successor. I am just an outside disciple and have only learned a little bit. But don't worry, no matter how bad my medical skills are, I haven't paid much attention to the poison in you. I have already learned everything. I’ll help you out, you don’t actually need to go to Jiangfeng Town again this time.”
Li Yi suddenly realized it and said. "I see, then thank you very much, Brother Zhang."
He bowed his hands and said goodbye to everyone, left the ruined temple and went all the way down the mountain.
He walked around the village entrance town and found the good horse that Uncle Xi spent a lot of money to buy for him in the Wang family stable where he and Zhang Chuxin committed the crime yesterday.
Suddenly he made up his mind to get back his white horse.
It seemed like nothing had happened in the town, at least there was no news that the Wang family was going to catch thieves.
Later, after some inquiring, he finally understood that for the sake of Nanmu's business, the Wang family had sent the dead men raised by the family to escort a batch of goods to the Nanmu country. At this time, the family no longer had a monk in charge, so he let him He and Zhang Chuxin took advantage of the loophole.
Furthermore, there was endless war in the north, and the Wang family was afraid that the news would spread.
If this is true, then the heroes in the world and the people in the shadows will flock to him, which will be a huge loss.
Li Yi cursed. "Zhang Chuxin is really an old fox who has become an immortal through cultivation."
Li Yi copied the gourd and used the method he used with Zhang Chuxin last night to successfully steal the good horse back.
Before leaving, he imitated Zhang Chuxin and carved a line of words on the stable wall. "Thank you for taking care of the good horse. It has been retrieved now."
He jumped on his horse and rode away.
Two days later, he arrived at Hulu Mountain under the jurisdiction of Jiangfeng Town, and he stopped at the foot of the mountain.
After getting off his horse, he sat under a tree and ate dry food. But just after taking a sip of wine, the sound of horse hooves came from the mountain.
He was startled and turned around to see a thin old black horse running wildly, with a young man in black on its back shaking something in his hand, as if toying with passers-by.
The boy was about the same age as him and somewhat handsome in appearance. He was not well dressed, but he was somewhat indescribably chic.
The young man saw Li Yi at the foot of the mountain and shouted loudly. "As you can see, I am not lying. The helper is at the foot of the mountain. I am a half-step swordsman who is a master of the back realm. If you surrender, I can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Yi had just packed up the remaining dry food in his hands. Before he could hear what the young man said, the dark horse was already approaching him.
However, behind the young man, a group of people rushed after him.
The young man rushed to Li Yi, but actually threw what he had in his hand as if he were a helper.
The young man did not look at Li Yi, but suddenly pulled the rope, turned the horse's head in the opposite direction and rushed towards the group of people behind him.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment and felt a little at a loss. How dare this young man? There are more than a dozen riders behind him.
He lowered his head and picked up the things in his hands, and couldn't help but wonder what was inside! It's actually heavy.
But in the next second, he could no longer think about it anymore, because several people chasing the young man on horseback had already surrounded him.
"Everyone, please listen to my explanation."
But everyone didn't listen to his excuse at all, they raised their swords and chopped them down. There is no respect for the rules of the world.
Li Yi pulled out the long sword from his waist, slashed it out, and cut the man's sword together. Sparks were seen flying, and he had pushed the man out.
He turned around, hung the package thrown by the young man on his horse, and faced it with a sword.
Several people were not afraid of him and also slashed at him with their swords.
At this time, the killing technique Zhou Shuan taught him before came into effect, and at least he was not at a disadvantage in the fight against several people at this moment.
This is because he didn't make a fatal move. If he really wanted to take action, in front of these low-cultivation people, he could kill them with a sword.
However, the young man over there was not like him. He seemed to have a deep hatred for these people. In addition to being vicious in every move he made, he also kept encouraging him. "Brother, don't be merciful. These are not good people. They are the remnants of the shadows. They have caused misfortune to the surrounding villages. They must strike quickly and accurately."
Seeing Li Yi stunned, he said again. "They raped, killed and looted to cause trouble in the countryside. They killed countless people. The money I just gave you is the silver they robbed from the surrounding villages."
The boy said, throwing a few black objects into the crowd.
Everyone didn't know about it and didn't think it was of any use, so they didn't disperse for a while.
But Li Yi knew that because the fire thunder he had just used against the killers of Shadow a few days ago was specially produced from Jiugong Mountain.
The young man grabbed Li Yi's arm and the two jumped to the other side together.
The next second, these black things exploded among dozens of people in front.
The young man looked at the group of people who were killed and injured, laughed loudly, and rushed over with a spear in hand.
Soon, he came back swinging on his old horse like an army searching for something from its bag.
But behind him, there was already a pile of corpses, and of course there were a few people who had their arms chopped off but were still alive.
He came to Li Yi, took the package away from the horse, touched Li Yi's white horse, and said. "Nice horse, from the south? Rich man?"
Li Yi was stunned, because the way of questioning really looked a bit like Zhang Chuxin, whom he had just met two days ago. He shook his head. "No! Northerners."
"My lord, Wang Daoping, thank you very much for your help."
Wang Daoping jumped on his old black horse, walked forward slowly, and said. "Would you like to go shopping in Jiangfeng Town together? We are both Jianghu people, let's have a drink and celebrate. Don't worry, I'll treat you."
Li Yi followed and said. "It would be nice to spare their lives, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that these people who have lost their limbs may be in a worse situation than those who died on the spot."
"You're right. I actually don't like killing people. I felt disgusted the first time and didn't dare to eat for many days. But people have to be responsible for their own actions. It's not about not reporting when the time has come. They Since he has done countless things that are difficult to describe, he should have thought of such a day. Moreover, Western Chu is like this. It is not as peaceful as Nan Mu Beili, and it is not even as good as Southern Xinjiang. In this world, if you don't kill people, you become a If you are a burden, you won't be able to live long. I have seen many people die in front of me, but I can't do anything. But I feel that if some people deserve to be killed, then they cannot be kept."
"Wang Daoping, what a good name. It sounds like this absurd theory is quite reasonable. Where did you figure it out?"
"Start from life and learn from the world." Wang Daoping smiled. "By the way, I don't know your brother's name yet, can you tell me? Of course, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine."
Li Yi cupped his hands. "Li Yi, Li Wenqing."
"Li Yi, your name is also very ordinary!"
"A name is nothing more than a code name. Cats and dogs are all the same."
"It says it in the book! It sounds quite reasonable. Cat and dog! Only you can say this."
"Brother Wang said just now that I am your helper. Brother Wang is not afraid of being a helper, right?"
"What's the matter? Even without you, it would only be a matter of a few fire thunders to deal with them. Besides, I knew you would appear there a few days ago."
"some days ago!"
Wang Daoping is mysterious. "Have you ever heard of Master Jiukong from Nanmu Country, who knows destiny?"
Li Yi shook his head. From Nanmu Country, he had heard of Mo Jianxian, who was now the best in the world, and the Baili Master who was famous all over the world. As for Master Jiukong, he had never heard of it.
Wang Daoping was a little proud. "Brother Li, you don't know anymore! I met him in Pengzhou City some time ago, and I benefited a lot from his advice. The old monk is a capable man. It is said that he has learned the knowledge of destiny in Buddhism and can predict things like a god. "
"So Brother Wang believed it?"
"Of course I believe it. He even knows where I grew up and where I was born. There are so few coincidences in this world. I don't believe what else can I do!"
Li Yi smiled. He took the wine he bought from Cunkou Town, took a sip himself, and handed it to Wang Daoping. "Brother Wang, since you said you would treat me to a drink, you should be able to do it yourself, right?"
Wang Daoping rolled his eyes. "There is no reason for young people to wander around the world without knowing how to drink. The world is boring and boring. If you don't know how to drink, it will be much less interesting."
Li Yi threw the wine bottle, and Wang Daoping took it, opened it and took a sip.
Li Yi said. "The monk from Nanmu can know destiny. Brother Wang said that he is miraculous. It sounds very desirable, but don't be deceived. It will be a big loss."
"The old monk is famous in Nanmu Dingding. It is said that there is constant incense in the temple. It is extraordinary that people who queue up to see their fortunes can reach Jiangfeng Town from here."
"Is Nanmu country bad? Why do you have to come to a ghost place like Xichu? You're crazy!"
"Who knows! The old monk seems to be a madman. Of course, he may be full."
Wang Daoping didn't know where he got the courage, but he seemed to have forgotten that he just said that people knew destiny, and now he started to joke about it. Speaking of which, he is not afraid of people knowing that he is the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.
Wang Daoping glanced at Li Yi. "Brother Li, have you ever wanted to visit Nanmu Country? It is said that it was peaceful and prosperous there."
Li Yi shook his head.
He had indeed thought about it before, and even felt that he should visit the prosperous Jiuzhou in his lifetime. But later, when I went south and saw the scene of human suffering, I gave up this idea.
