On the third day, at the bottom of the west mountain of Dashi Slope, Sun Zikai was holding the small cowhide notebook, and ten feet in front of him stood a bearded man, who was Qin Heng.
Qin Heng looked at a fool and said, "You mean, you want to take my head back in exchange for money, kid, how old are you?"
Sun Zikai lowered his head and looked at the notebook, already scanning the contents of the second mission, and replied casually: "Thirteen."
"Hahahaha, I've killed more than twenty cowards like you."
"Oh." Sun Zikai handed the notebook to Jiang Yujin beside him, took a deep breath, held the scabbard with his left hand, and pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand. Air flow appeared near his mouth. He leaned down, and then rushed towards Qin Heng, "Transform Qi For the blade, there is no knife for luck, and there is no knife for the wave... ugh, it’s boring.”
He suddenly stopped halfway, all energy drained from his body, with his hands in his front pockets, looking more lazy than indifferent.
Qin Heng wondered: "Boy, why don't you continue? Are you scared?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his neck in fear, and blood spurted out. Until his death, Qin Heng did not know when his neck was cut open.
Sun Zikai stepped forward and cut off Qin Heng's head with a knife. He tied three knots with hemp rope and hair, and easily lifted the head up steadily. It was very stable and the blood would not be spilled. to yourself.
"No, take it."
"Let me take it?" Jiang Yujin shook her head repeatedly.
"It's not the first time you've seen me kill someone, so why are you afraid." Jiang Yujin still refused to touch the bloody head, so Sun Zikai had no choice but to carry it by himself, and the two of them walked towards the location of the next mission.
An hour later in the Dongfang Valley, two people were lifted up with a hemp rope tied into three knots. Sun Zikai stood aside and drew two names with an ink pen dipped in saliva.
Jiang Yujin raised her head, feeling so sick that she wanted to vomit. She didn't dare to lower her head and look directly, and kept urging: "Are you okay? The blood is flowing to my legs."
That night, three miles outside Jijia Village, a burly man was tied around the neck by a thin rope and hung on a thick tree trunk. He kept struggling and his face turned purple from suppressing pain.
Sun Zikai held the notebook and kept urging: "Can you hurry up? We have to rush to the next location in the middle of the night."
Jiang Yujin held Sun Zikai's knife and held it against the big man's neck. The knife was trembling and her arms were shaking. Finally, she couldn't take her hands off and cried: "Why do you insist on me doing such a thing, ugh?" Woo..."
Sun Zikai said helplessly: "It's clearly written on the letter that the mission is completed only when the head is brought back."
"Then why don't you behead your head?"
"I've already cut three. Besides, this is also part of the practice."
"It's ridiculous, how can this be considered spiritual practice? This is murder."
"The mission is to ask you to kill people. If you don't kill, why are you still practicing? Are you going to go back and be your princess?"
When Jiang Yujin heard this, her blood boiled with passion. She should have faced the bloody killings long ago. What should she be afraid of for people who are surviving under the butcher's knife?
She closed her eyes and took the knife to cut the big man's neck. It was not easy to cut with the sharp blade. The man's screams and the gushing of blood made Jiang Yujin collapse again. The cutting continued, so she had to saw. The sound of bones sliding and the man's stammering in his throat pushed Jiang Yujin to the limit. She couldn't open her eyes and felt dizzy. The ground spun, he sat on the ground and cried, "I can't do it!"
Sun Zikai sighed and walked over, picked up the knife, and cut off the big man's neck with one blow. Then he scratched a mark on the notebook, turned another page, and said, "I'm on my way, and I can still meet a target."
Jiang Yujin looked distracted, so Sun Zikai had no choice but to carry her on his back. After a long time, Jiang Yujin asked in confusion: "Is this considered practice? Do other disciples do this?"
"Yes, how else can we become stronger? We agreed that you kill the next one, and I can at most help you trap him."
In the middle of the night, on the ground, Jiang Yujin held a knife in both hands, tensed her body, and faced a woman who was practicing the second level of Qi. Jiang Yujin was different from Sun Zikai. She gave the other party a reason to fight first and said: "You, after you defected from the sect, you tortured and killed more than forty people, and also killed four cultivating disciples who came to attack. Your sin is unpardonable."
The woman smiled contemptuously and said, "Nizi, are you here to take my head?"
"Exactly, I am here to take on the sect's mission, and I will put you to death!"
"Law?" the woman sneered, "Do you think you can judge me?"
"Exactly, accept the sanction!" Jiang Yujin rushed forward.
"Hey, you kid with the third level of Qi Condensation." As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw a bit of cold light coming in front of her. She didn't expect that this girl's knife would stab so fast. In terms of speed, she had already lost.
He had to burst out spiritual energy to barely change the direction of the blade, but the cold blade passed through and pierced the woman's face. When the woman was about to grab her, Jiang Yujin and Dao He retreated.
She only felt a gust of wind, and the pain on her face did not bring her back to reality. The woman stared at Jiang Yujin, with a somewhat doubtful tone, and said: "What kind of body skills and techniques are you doing? It is impossible for a disciple of Cultivation to be as good as you." Ability? Are you from the inner sect?" But then he felt something was wrong. At this age, a disciple of the inner sect could not only be in the third stage of Qi Condensation.
However, the woman would not give Jiang Yujin another chance. She burst out with spiritual energy, dipped her finger in the blood on her face, drew a talisman in the air, and whispered: "The ghost is coming!"
The talisman light appeared, and a black skeleton crawled out, but it was half virtual and half real. For people in the same realm, this is a magic body that can be dispersed by pure and thick spiritual energy, but for people in lower realms with too little spiritual energy, To put it bluntly, this ghost skeleton is a nightmare that cannot be killed or beaten away.
The black skeleton "came alive" and was killing Jiang Yujin. The speed was actually not slow, but the practitioners who came out of Yan Mingzong all cultivated the Qi, not the body. They could control the Qi to perfection, but the physical body and Body skills are all weaknesses, but Jiang Yujin, who has mastered the "Fengxing Step", found an opportunity.
Jiang Yujin remembered what Sun Zikai told her. There are not so many showboats and repeated rounds in a duel. The battle of life and death only takes a moment and only one chance.
She turned and followed the wind, easily avoiding the ghost skeleton's three killing moves. She pretended to move backwards, but calculated the distance and number of steps for the killing blow. When she missed the ghost skeleton for the fourth time, she leaned down to the ground. When he came out, the slippery wind turned to the woman.
The woman panicked, but before she could raise her hand, Jiang Yujin turned behind her again. She had practiced this action countless times. She simply pushed the knife out and stabbed the woman in the back, but the woman could not avoid this move. It's open.
The chest was penetrated, but the hole was ignited with flames. The woman did not collapse madly before her death. Instead, she turned around in disbelief and looked at the two brats.
Jiang Yujin kept stabbing, while Sun Zikai's finger was right on the blade, and the flame was born from this.
The woman's organs were on fire, and she sat on the ground. Death did not bring her fear, but relief. The sound of burning flesh and blood echoed in the quiet night.
The woman whispered: "Are you disciples of cultivation?"
Sun Zikai nodded, and the woman tilted her head and smiled in relief. Then, without changing her position, she was burned to the end.
Sun Zikai retracted his hand. The reason why he took action was that he realized that Jiang Yujin's key stab was not enough to kill the opponent. After all, he was a master in the Qi training period. His spiritual energy had been beaten countless times in his body, which also had the effect of tempering and strengthening the body. .
Putting the knife in front of Jiang Yujin, Sun Zikai asked her to cut off the head. This was her first battle and her first victory.
Jiang Yujin took the knife, but did not walk over. She waited silently for the flame to go out, and the woman turned into black coal. In the end, the two of them worked together to bury the woman, but they just buried her without leaving any trace that could prove that the woman had existed in the world.
Sun Zikai asked: "Can you accept all this?"
Jiang Yujin nodded, then shook her head. Sun Zikai silently took out the notebook, opened it, and said, "Just rest here for two hours. At dawn, we will go to the next place."
On the fifth day, in the outer repair room, fourteen bloody human heads were placed on the table. The elder, holding an ink pen in his hand, could not relax for a long time. He looked at the heads in front of the portrait over and over again. He had lived for more than sixty years, but he had never seen such a strange thing. These two young brats, who were only at the first and third levels of Qi Condensation, actually killed Fourteen key criminals in the Qi training period and fourteen fifth-level tasks were completed by the two of them in two days.
First of all, this is impossible, the elder said in his heart. So how did these heads that looked like criminals come together?
The elder vaguely felt that this matter was not trivial, so he asked Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin to wait in the repair room. Then he urgently contacted the three elders and asked them to gallop and go to various places to find out what was going on. In the evening, people rushed back one after another and brought them The news made the elders in the entire monastery room dumbfounded. Those evildoers for whom bounties were placed were really killed, and their heads were missing. However, the elders thought about it and felt that those heads should be the ones on the table. .
The elders did not publicize this matter. Instead, they blocked the news secretly and said hello to all the disciples who had seen it. And they did not rashly interrogate Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin. They discussed in secret for a long time before taking action.
Jiang Yujin tugged on Sun Zikai's clothes uneasily and asked in a low voice: "Are we being too showy?"
Sun Zikai whispered: "Looking at it, it should be yes. Are you hungry?"
"Hungry."
As soon as they finished speaking, a group of elders came to them. The first one said: "The mission was completed well. Your surname is Sun, and her surname is Jiang, right."
"Yes, my name is Sun Zikai, and she is Jiang Yujin."
The elder asked tentatively: "Which one of the above do you have any relationship with?"
Sun Zikai quickly reasoned out all the possibilities in his mind. He thought that the elders believed that he and Jiang Yujin were unable to complete the task, so he felt that someone had helped the two brats. In this case, the two children might be spies, but the spies used this method to The undercover method is too exaggerated, so it is not the help of outsiders, but the intention of the inner door.
It's not the elders of the inner sect. Sun Zikai has personally witnessed the admission rules of Dongchen Sect and Yanming Sect. The benefits are in place, and the inner sect can enter at will. If they can climb up to the inner sect elders, there is no need to go to such trouble. ? Therefore, the person who came up with this trick should be a sect leader level figure above the inner sect elders, or even the sect leader. This is also the reason why the outer sect elders dare not take any action.
After Sun Zikai figured it out, he suddenly had an idea in his mind and recalled an old customer he had met many years ago.
"I can't tell you his name," he said.
The elders looked at each other with a charm in their eyebrows. The leader of the elders asked again: "My child, you can give me a little hint."
"I can only say that he is flying in the sky, stepping on a green peak sword." Many years ago, Sun Zikai once asked the man if he could teach himself how to practice. The man told him that practice is not self-cultivation, and asked Sun Zikai to have a good life. Go back to the city to have a happy birthday.
Upon hearing the Qingfeng Sword, the elders immediately knew the answer. One of the elders looked proud, as if to show that he had guessed it right.
The leader of the elders took out a money bag, hesitated for a moment, then pressed it into Sun Zikai's hand without even opening it. He patted the money bag and said, "This is the reward for the mission. You have done a good job. I am Xiu Chu Gu Pavilion." Great Elder Nie Hai, if you have any questions, please come to me."
Sun Zikai opened the money bag, glanced at it, and said doubtfully: "Elder, this is a lot."
Nie Hai nodded with a smile and said nothing. Sun Zikai accepted the money. Just as he was about to thank him, an elder took out two small pieces of wood with some words engraved on them and an obvious energy response. The elder said: " The two young men have set a precedent for the outer disciples of our sect to continuously leapfrog and kill enemies. Such achievements are worthy of rewards. Well, I am Wang Jiaqiao, the great elder of Yuange. On behalf of all the elders, I will give you two a special reward each. Holding this card, you two can go to Manqian Tower to exchange for a book of spells."
"Really?" Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin looked at each other, both surprised by this.
The other elders all looked stunned, and one elder said: "Elder Wang has already reached this point, what else can we say, haha."
Nie Hai even said with a half-smiling face: "Elder Wang's name is a quota shared by all the elders in our monastery. It would be rude to take it out, but these two children are worthy of it. So be it, I make the decision and agree." I accepted this proposal, what do you think?"
The elders each had their own secrets, but at this time there was no other way but to agree.
Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin received the sign and money and walked out of the repair room in a low-key manner.
At the edge of the ancestral garden, Fu Zhe stood in the middle of the rabbit. The elder of the outer sect who was guarding the place respectfully accompanied him. After recounting the events of the day, he closed his mouth and listened to the instructions.
Fu Zhe thought for a long time, and then whispered: "This rabbit is difficult to catch. If the disciples can catch it, they will have to cultivate themselves."
The elder quickly answered: "You are right, the inner disciples and subordinates don't know it, but no one among the outer disciples can cultivate their body skills to such a level."
Fu Zhe walked around the bend and slowly walked into the forest. The elder immediately followed him and continued: "It's difficult to catch even one rabbit, let alone so many. Of course, the outer disciples also practice magic to make the rabbits lose their ability." There is no problem with the power, but without harming the rabbits, it is absolutely impossible to string together more than 800 rabbits in a short period of time without anyone noticing. It will only be...higher..."
Feeling Fu Zhe's cold gaze, the elder immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head with a smile.
Fu Zhe asked again: "At that time, was there a woman in the woods?"
"Well, it's true that it's a female voice, but..."
"But what?"
The elder did not dare to hide it and said: "But I thought about that voice many times later, and I always felt that it was a little childish. It didn't sound like an adult shouting, but more like a little girl's shouting."
"That means someone is deliberately pretending?"
"I don't dare to speculate," the elder said cautiously, "Master, the sect leader has sent someone to convey the message. This is nothing more than a matter. Just go there in a hurry... You..."
Fu Zhe folded his arms behind his back and said, "I'm just curious and asked about it."
"yes."
Fu Zhe stood for a moment, thinking that he wouldn't get any news here, so he was about to leave, but he accidentally asked: "This rabbit is difficult to catch, isn't it? Have any of the outer disciples ever caught it? "
The elder immediately said: "It is difficult for the outer disciples to catch them, but there are some who can be caught. The most recent one happened just a few days ago, eh? Yes, it was the day the rabbit was lost. Two children came up from the miscellaneous place. , I have been practicing the breath method for many years and have condensed my Qi, but I am not young, I am already thirteen years old."
Fu Zhe interjected: "It's too late to practice cultivation at the age of thirteen."
"Yes, when Elder Chongming came up with this problem, he wanted the two of them to retreat. Who knew, they actually passed the test by grabbing two rabbits. I thought, it was also their good luck. They took advantage of the chaos and caught them. A rabbit released from the dark forest."
Fu Zhe's expression changed slightly. He suddenly became interested in this matter and asked, "Are you sure they caught the rabbit after the incident, not before the incident?"
"Well, they greeted me when they came, probably before the rabbit disappeared, but I didn't pay attention to them afterwards."
"In other words, the two of them were let in, and they might have witnessed the whole process of the rabbit being caught?"
"This..." the elder suddenly said, "This subordinate did not think of this."
"Did the two of them do it?" Fu Zhe asked.
The elder smiled and said: "Sect Master, that boy only has one level of Qi condensation, and the girl has only three levels of Qi condensation. It's hard for them to catch one."
Fu Zhe said: "Do you think that a rabbit that was released from the dark forest is no longer a rabbit?"
"this……"
"A rabbit is still a rabbit. Catching it is easier said than done. How could the two of them catch a rabbit each and walk away?"
The elder was speechless and couldn't answer. After Fu Zhe thought for a moment, he said sharply: "Even if they didn't do it, they must know the inside story. Who are they and where are they now?"
"Well, this subordinate doesn't know exactly where they are assigned to the repair room. Why don't you go there and ask."
