On the first floor, after Bai Ye's door was closed, the originally sleepy and thin shopkeeper raised his head and stared at the newly closed door on the second floor for a while, with a fierce look in his eyes, and sneered: "Another big fat sheep. With five more ingots of gold, I can go to the black market and buy a volume of Taoist teachings... and my fifty-seven years of hard work will not be in vain."

Recalling the past, when he was fifteen years old, he accidentally entered a black market of casual cultivators. Knowing the existence of monks in the world, he yearned for it. However, a scroll of the lowest incomplete Taoist teachings also cost a thousand ingots of gold. From then on, he robbed He spent a piece of official silver to build this inconspicuous restaurant in the north of the city. Anyone who came in to stay could not get out. In fifty-seven years, he accumulated a huge sum of nine hundred and ninety-five ingots of gold!

There are very few people like Bai Ye who can get away with a piece of gold in one move, and those who are so generous usually carry no less than five gold pieces. The thin shopkeeper breathed heavily and could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't overturn the boat at the last step." The shopkeeper slowly controlled his emotions and repeatedly calculated every next step in his heart. He decided to prepare all the methods he had used over the years to ensure that Foolproof.

At night, Bai Ye tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, wet it with tea and covered his mouth and nose. He turned his head to the wall and pretended to fall asleep. He raised his ears and listened to the sound. He concluded that the shopkeeper would make some move soon.

Until the middle of the night, Bai Ye had some doubts about his judgment. At this time, very light footsteps could be heard outside the house. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to detect it.

"coming!"

Bai Ye's heart was beating fast. This was a life-and-death game. If he wasn't careful, he would be in danger of death. Bai Ye couldn't help but regret it, but it was only for a moment.

The next moment, he felt a little dizzy. Bai Ye immediately realized that this was the incense of Ecstasy under the thin shopkeeper. He became alert and forcibly cheered up. Fortunately, he had been prepared. Even if he covered his mouth and nose with a wet mouth towel, he would feel dizzy. , the amount of medicine given by the thin shopkeeper can be imagined.

squeak~

There was an extremely slight sound at the door, and the next moment the wind suddenly blew up, chilling the back of his neck. In an instant, Bai Ye rolled inside, and there was a loud noise from where he was originally lying. It was the sound of an ax cutting through the head of the bed and hitting the bed board.

Bai Ye suddenly rose up. Without thinking, he jumped towards the end of the bed, broke through the bed curtain and rolled out. His back felt numb, and then a sharp pain hit him. He touched his back and saw blood on his hand!

Only then did he have time to clearly see the scene in the room. The thin shopkeeper quickly returned to the door of the room holding the ax and sneered: "My ax is tempered with a poison that seals the throat with blood. You will die in a minute at most. There is no antidote to this poison!”

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, I didn't expect this kid to be so vigilant, but luckily everything went smoothly, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

A strong feeling of dizziness and a sudden increase in suffocation came to his mind. Bai Ye stumbled and fell against the wall. He raised his eyelids and looked at the door of the room. The thin shopkeeper walked towards him holding an ax and said with a evil smile: " I made four preparations for you. You escaped the incense and the axe, but not the poison of Crane Crown Red. You are the second person I have seen in fifty-seven years who has such high defenses and can dodge. It would be a pity for those who throw away all my preparations..."

The thin shopkeeper slowly walked towards Bai Ye, and Bai Ye slowly sat down on the ground under his gaze.

Bai Ye's nerves slowly weakened and his eyelids slowly closed, but no one noticed that the magic mark between his eyebrows was emitting a faint black light. Perhaps the shopkeeper was too old to see this scene.

"rest in peace!"

The thin shopkeeper raised the ax with difficulty and struck Bai Ye's head. Even if it was a dead man, he would still hit him with one more blow. This was a habit he had developed over the years.

When the ax fell, the thin shopkeeper already showed a happy face. At such a close distance, even a top-notch expert in his prime state would have difficulty escaping. His path to spiritual cultivation has already taken a step forward.

At this moment, the thin shopkeeper saw the young man's pupils in front of him widen. His heart suddenly suddenly hit him, and he accelerated the force of the ax in his hand!

"Coffin Confinement - Instantaneous Body!"

"What?!"

The ax missed, and the person in front of him disappeared. The thin shopkeeper was shocked. The next moment, a huge force hit him from the abdomen. He fell heavily and flew out. He shouted loudly: "Do it!"

Bang bang bang!

Four strong middle-aged men rushed into the door with steel knives in their hands, only to see a figure in white jumping from the window and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Trash! You can't even keep a young man!" the thin shopkeeper scolded. He opened his coat and found that he was wearing a piece of gold silk armor underneath. At this time, the soft armor on the abdomen had been dented. It was this soft armor just now. A saved his life, otherwise he would be dead now.

"Wei Lie, go chase that kid, and the others should quickly pack their things and leave here." The thin shopkeeper threw down the ax angrily and gritted his teeth.



Three miles away, in a dense forest, Bai Ye was lying in the middle of a bush. He tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve and wrapped it tightly around the wound on his back. He felt intense pain and a burning sensation that had become a slight suffocation. On his nerves.

"This old man is too shady. He said he was preparing with four hands, but in fact it was five hands. He also saved one hand for a dying person. I don't know where he learned it."

The suffocation and dizziness in his mind gradually receded. Suddenly, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps. He opened the bushes and looked towards the source of the sound. He couldn't help but become alert, and he actually chased them here.

Although the feeling of suffocation and dizziness subsided, a burst of fatigue came over at the same time. Compared with the two, it was difficult for him to be the opponent of the other party. However, this person was walking in the direction where he was...

escape!

"Coffin Confinement - Burning Blood!"

Under the forbidden seal, his blood boiled. Bai Ye soared into the sky and ran towards the north. The middle-aged man behind him was chasing after him with a steel knife in his hand. Bai Ye couldn't get rid of him!

In the Black Dragon Sea in the north, the waves were turbulent. Bai Ye jumped into the sea with a fish and tried to figure out the direction and swam along the shore. He didn't care whether the middle-aged man was chasing him. The blood-burning effect faded. Bai Ye fainted instantly and floated. Swinging in the black dragon sea.

A ferocious and huge sea beast approached, and the magic mark between his eyebrows emitted a faint light. The sea beasts slowly sank into the sea. Bai Ye followed the waves and drifted with the current, and was finally washed up on a beach.

I don't know how long it took, but a crisp and soft voice woke him up. Bai Ye tried his best to open his eyes. What caught his eyes was a little lolita in red, carrying a bamboo basket on her back and holding a sickle tightly in her hand. Her immature little There was a maturity on her face that didn't match her age. She looked at Bai Ye, poked her with the sickle, and said weakly: "Are you okay?"

"Well……!"

Bai Ye's whole body was weak, and one hand slowly raised and then fell. The little Loli stared at Bai Ye, her eyes complicated and embarrassed. Then she leaned down and hugged one of Bai Ye's arms, and helped him up. Bai Ye felt dizzy for a while and then fell again. Fainted.



It was an adobe house covered with thatch. The walls and roof had long been in tatters. When Bai Ye opened his eyes again, he was in such a house. The mattress on the bed was densely covered with patches of all sizes. It had been washed white and very clean. There was a bamboo basket turned upside down on the side, with a thick bowl with yellow stains on it.

"Are you awake?" Little Loli came in from outside the house. She looked about 12 or 13 years old and was three feet away from him. She asked cautiously and concernedly.
