The next morning.
A morning bell that had not rung for a long time came from Qingming Town, completely breaking the sound of the sleeping people.
However, when they heard the morning bell, none of them yelled and even felt a little worried.
In an inconspicuous little inn, an old Taoist priest was a little dissatisfied with the morning bell. He cursed loudly: "What a lousy place. There is still a bell ringing to wake people up. It's really unlucky."
The old Taoist priest cursed, without the posture of a Taoist master at all. He rolled up from the bed and shouted: "Damn disciple, get up soon, we are going to watch the fun today..."
"Huh...huh..." The sound continued, reaching the ears of the old Taoist priest.
"Boom..." A bed collapsed in response.
"Stinky Taoist, are you done yet..." There was a yell, and he opened his sleepy eyes and rolled up from the collapsed bed, feeling very dissatisfied.
The old Taoist priest was not angry. He sat down at the table, poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and said, "It seems to be very lively here today. Are you interested in following me, master, to watch the fun?" The old Taoist priest had a look on his face. Weird smile.
The originally sleepy boy suddenly became interested and said, "Really?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Of course it is true. How could Master lie to you?"
"snort……"
"What do you mean? Did I lie to you a lot?" The old Taoist priest's face suddenly changed 180 degrees and said: "Since you don't believe it, then double your training today. I really can't cure you... …”
As the old Taoist priest spoke, he drank the water in the tea cup angrily. He wanted to pour it again, but found that the teapot was empty. He shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Can't you see, old Taoist, am I thirsty? Go get some." Here comes the water." As he said that, the old Taoist slapped his hand on the table with a stern and angry expression.
"I..." When the boy heard that the training was doubled, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. The inhumane training of the old Taoist priest made the young man exhausted every day. When he heard that the dosage was doubled, he immediately regretted it and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Yes, yes, yes." The young man answered three times in a row, and then dragged his tired body. , walked out of the room, but muttered: "You might as well die of thirst..."
"What did you say?" The old Taoist priest's ears seemed to be particularly sensitive, and he immediately heard a dissatisfied and threatening voice.
"Ah, it's nothing, nothing..." The young man was really scared, and his pace quickened a lot, for fear that the old Taoist priest would chase him out.
The old Taoist priest recalled the sound of the morning bell and murmured to himself: "But the streets today will definitely look beautiful."
…
With the sound of the morning bell, Qingming Town was completely awakened, and many ordinary people and practitioners came to the streets one after another. Especially the alleys of the three major families were overcrowded.
In the direction of the Chai family, because the head of the family died last night, everyone was wearing mourning clothes and white mourning clothes, which looked a little out of place.
However, these Chai family members didn't seem to care at all. On the contrary, they were even more motivated to fight. They all stared in the direction of the town with expressions on their faces vowing to avenge the head of the family.
At this moment, a person walked out from the front door of the Chai family. All the Chai family members standing in front of the Chai family bowed and said respectfully: "Old ancestors."
The visitor nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yun'er died last night, so today we, the Chai family, will never let go of the Qushan tribe." What the ancestor said was categorical, and even contained a tragic meaning.
The ancestor looked at all the people in mourning clothes in front of the door and said, "In this case, let's set off." There was very little blood on the old man's face and he looked like he was in his twilight years. However, when he said these words, he was full of vitality and complete It doesn't sound like an old man's voice.
"Yes." The voice soared into the sky, frightening the enemy.
"Kill, kill, kill..." For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud in front of Chai's house.
The old man nodded and said softly to Wang Xi beside him: "Brother, let's set off." The old man looked very tired. The moment he learned that his master was dead, he seemed to have aged nearly a hundred years. Generally speaking, the old man who was not very energetic to begin with was even more embarrassed because of Chai Yun's death.
"Okay." Wang Xi nodded, looking at the brother in front of him who had been his brother for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although Chai Yun was this person's grandson, the white-haired person gave the black-haired person the kind of back pain , only by experiencing it can we truly understand.
Wang Xi roared: "Let's go."
The Chai family walked towards the head of Qingming Town in large numbers.
At this time, the streets were already deserted.
In front of the green bamboo forest behind Chai's house, Jian Jue stood in front of the bamboo house, and Yang Ning also woke up from his bed after hearing the morning bell.
Seeing that Hui Ni was still sleeping soundly, he gently pecked Hui Ni on the forehead and came outside the bamboo house.
"Senior Jianjue." Yang Ning said hello. Only then did Yang Ning realize that the Chai family was empty at this time. He suddenly showed an ugly expression and said sheepishly: "Senior, I'm sorry, I got up late."
Jian Jue said: "Understand, understand..." Jian Jue saw Yang Ning's performance in the past few days.
Although it seems much calmer these days, everyone in Qingming Town has a sad face, but Yang Ning can maintain a normal mentality and still persevere hard. Jian Jue admires Yang Ning from the bottom of his heart. .
The Qushan tribe is something that even the Beixuan Sword Sect is afraid of, but this young man is able to deal with them with a normal attitude without being arrogant or impetuous, which is obviously very unusual.
Regarding the situation in Yang Ning's house, Jian Jue remained silent.
"Senior, let's go now." After last night's rest, Yang Ning has retreated from fatigue. Although he is still tired, he is full of energy because today's situation does not allow him to relax, let alone relax.
"Okay." Jian Jue simply walked ahead.
Yang Ning looked at the bamboo house, wanting to pass through the bamboo house affectionately. When he saw the beauty on the bed, he imagined Hui Ni's sleepy face and said softly: "Hui Ni, wait for me." After Yang Ning said that, he chased after her. .
For a moment, the entire Qingming Town looked like it was about to rain, and everyone was running around in a hurry.
There were people standing at the end of the main street of Qingming Town.
However, they never mentioned anything about what happened in Lucy Lane last night. Because they didn't find anyone from the Lu family in the crowd, they already had the answer in their hearts.
The crowd gradually became noisy.
"Hunchback, if this is the case, we will fight until we die." One person stared at the hunchbacked person in front of him and said.
"Fan Huazi, if this is all over, if you are lucky enough to survive, I will take your dog's head." The hunchback snorted, his momentum was not inferior to that of Fan Huazi, and he drew his sword.
"Hmph..." Fan Huazi also hummed, staring at the distance of the road, looking forward to it.
…
"Hua Lan, if I survive this time, I will definitely come to your home to make love and marry you." A middle-aged man who looked elegant looked at the ordinary-looking female cultivator in front of him and said softly. .
Although the voice was very soft, the determination in it was unquestionable.
"Brother Ping'an, Hualan is waiting for you. If I don't die this time, I will definitely ask my father to agree to our marriage." The woman looked heroic and heroic, quite masculine.
For the sweetheart in front of me, the journey has been bumpy and has gone through ups and downs. Because the man was from an ordinary background, he never received approval from his family, thus completing the joys and sorrows of the two.
The woman looked a little determined.
When the Ping An brother heard the woman's answer, he smiled happily, stared at the end of the road, and took the woman into his arms.
"Nonsense." The person standing in front said angrily when he saw this scene.
"Okay, Old Man Zhou, your Hualan girl is in love with her, but you want to interfere with her and forcefully separate them. I can't stand it anymore." A practitioner who is similar to Old Man Zhou. Standing with Old Man Zhou, he said reproachfully.
"Hey, I'm telling you a joke." Although Old Man Zhou was harsh on his daughter, the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, because he was Liu Kun, the head of the Liu family, one of the four major families in Qingming Town.
Liu Kun then said: "Besides, with your Hualan's temperament, it would be great if someone wants her. Looking at how strong she is, I'm really afraid no one will want her in the future." Liu Kun looked at Zhou Hualan, who was not far behind him. Sighed.
"..." Old man Zhou was speechless for a moment.
Finally, he obeyed Liu Kun's words, turned to his daughter and said, "Hua Lan, did you hear that? Your Uncle Liu is the matchmaker himself, why don't you thank your Uncle Liu?"
After Zhou Hualan heard this, she suddenly felt shy and crawled into her sweetheart's arms.
Zhou Hualan lay in Brother Ping An's arms and said softly: "Idiot, why don't you thank dad quickly?"
"Dad? Ah? Oh..." Brother Ping'an was a little incoherent, and hurriedly stepped forward, came to Old Man Zhou, knelt down and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Liu Kun said from the side: "Silly boy, he is still calling uncle, he should not be called..." Liu Kun hinted.
"Ah...oh." Brother Ping'an finally called out and said: "Father-in-law is here, please accept my brother-in-law's bow."
"Get up." Old man Zhou looked very unhappy, but when he saw the smile on his daughter's face, he finally felt relieved and said, "If you can survive this time, marry Hua Lan." Old man Zhou said In an instant, he seemed to have aged dozens of years. Looking at his daughter who was full of joy, he sighed softly, turned to Liu Kun and said, "I am still old after all."
After finishing speaking, he stared at the end of the road and waited.
"Yeah, I'm getting old." Liu Kun sighed.
…
Yang Ning came to the crowd and stood in an inconspicuous place with Jian Jue. Looking at the crowd that was still growing, she felt sad in her heart.
A war is getting ready, but after this disaster, how many people will stand at the end, and how many people's blood will be spread in this town...
Mayor Keyan arrived and the crowd made way for a passage. Ke Yan quickly came to the front of the crowd.
Key Yan stood still and said to the people behind him: "Today we will fight against the Qushan tribe here. I wonder if you have confidence?" Keyan's voice was not too loud, but due to the spiritual power poured into it, it was Let everyone really listen.
"Yes, yes, yes..." The people in Qingming Town were in high spirits, as if they had trampled the Qushan tribe under their feet, making a loud noise.
"In today's battle, I know there will be casualties, but please remember, what are we dying for?"
"Protect your home, protect your home..." The crowd was excited, and their emotions reached their peak for a while.
Ke Yan was worthy of being an official. With just a few words, he aroused everyone's emotions and achieved unprecedented unity. The originally chaotic scene was quickly unified.
Ke Yan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and stared at the end of the road.
Behind him, the ancestors of the three major families and many practitioners were waiting quietly.
