Magistrate Li, Capt. Cen, a group of government officials, and Dong Yuan's family gathered at the door. Everyone looked at Qianqiu who had just come out, and gave a solemn salute.
County Magistrate Li stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, on behalf of the Qingshui County Government, I would like to thank Brother Qian for your great help in this case of the girl's disappearance. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we would be able to find out the case. We are all here to practice it for you.”
"Don't dare, I'm just trying my best." Qianqiu said politely.
Mr. Dong waited for the county magistrate to finish speaking, and then came up and handed Qianqiu a letter and a baggage: "Master Qian, here are some scattered silver and a letter from home. When you arrive in Huanghu City, when you want to go to the Sun family, if If you encounter any obstacles, show your family letter. Brother Sun will definitely help you after reading the letter."
Qianqiu took the letter, thanked them, looked at everyone, and said respectfully to everyone: "Conquering demons is what cultivators like us should do. This matter has been completed in Qingshui County, but it has not yet been done in Huanghu City. It’s over, I will definitely get to the bottom of it. At that time, if the truth is found, I will write to Mr. Li and the directors. In addition, Qianqiu would like to thank everyone here. We will definitely meet again one day across thousands of mountains and rivers. We will see you later! "
"See you later!" everyone said with fists in their hands.
After saying that, Qianqiu called for the knife, got on his horse, and galloped away. He looked back secretly as he walked. He was so stubborn that he couldn't bear to leave these friends he had just met, just like he couldn't bear to leave the little princess at the beginning.
"Goodbye! Qingshui County!"
........................................
Huanghu City is located due east of Qingshui County, a hundred miles away. About ten miles outside Qingshui County, the scenery gradually began to become deserted, with few green plants.
Qianqiu thought to himself: "The matter in Qingshui County has come to an end. I did a good thing when I went down the mountain for the first time. If the master knows that I am so good, he will be very happy." Thinking of this, Qianqiu couldn't help but feel elated and motivated, so he speeded up again. pace.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the temperature is gradually rising. Before he knew it, his eyes were full of sand. Qianqiu saw a tea stall on the roadside. His mouth was already dry and he hurriedly dismounted, thinking of going to the tea stall to rest for a while.
"Sir, look at how sweaty you are. Thank you for your hard work! Please sit down quickly. What kind of tea would you like to drink?" The waiter saw another customer approaching and greeted him hurriedly.
"Just a pot of tea and some snacks." Qianqiu sat down and said casually.
This tea stall is not big, only four or five small tables. Four skinny middle-aged men sat at two tables near the door. There were various weapons around them, but they were all rusty. They all communicated with each other, and they seemed to know each other. A tea guest wearing a curtain hat and a light green gown sat at a table next to him.
A circle of black gauze fell lightly on the tea guest's hat, covering her face so that people could not see clearly. There was a long brown whip on the table where she was sitting. Judging from her dress, she should be a woman. She herself A man sat quietly drinking tea.
Qianqiu looked at the four people sitting in front of him, and found that they started whispering after seeing him come in, and kept looking at him, but there seemed to be a few hesitations in their eyes, and one person was looking at the person next to him intentionally or unintentionally. The girl in green. He thought to himself, these people might have some agenda.
After a while, the waiter brought a pot of tea, a plate of beef, and a few pieces of date cake.
Qianqiu stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, looked at the big men and then at the girls, and found that they all had weapons. He seemed to be empty-handed all the time. He thought to himself, when will he get a weapon? The combination of magic and weapons can have More tricks.
Thinking in his mind, Qianqiu couldn't help but start to look at the whip of the woman in green. He felt that it was exquisitely made and very beautiful. He didn't know what material it was made of.
At this moment, the woman in green said coldly: "Have you seen enough?"
Qianqiu was startled, thinking that he just wanted to see a weapon, why was he so excited? Although he thought this way, he turned his face away. People might think he was looking at her. The eighteen-year-old boy actually blushed a little at this moment.
Qianqiu drank for a while and felt ready to go, so he called the waiter and took the baggage given by the director from the side. It was very heavy to carry all the way, and he didn't know how many things he had put on it. He didn't think much about it. He just wanted to take some money to pay for tea. When he opened it, everyone was stunned. His eyes were filled with glittering things: the whole baggage was stuffed with gold! He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone around heard it, turned around subconsciously, and froze there. The waiter looked dumbfounded for a long time and said: "Sir, do you have any loose silver... It's hard to find one in this small shop..."
At this moment, a man next to him stood up. He had a sparse beard on his chin, and his clothes looked like they hadn't been washed for many days. He desperately picked up an ax with both hands, and he could see the veins on his face. He picked it up, but it was still difficult for him to pick it up: "Well, I planted this road, and I opened this tree. Well, if you can't find it, don't look for it. My brothers collected the tea money for you." Qianqiu was amused when he heard this. He must have just learned how to steal money.
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining three seemed to have made up their minds, and they all stood up, holding weapons in their hands, and walked over menacingly.
Before Qianqiu could say anything, the woman in green spoke first: "Boy, do you know that you don't want to expose your wealth when you go out?" After saying that, he also took out a small bundle and slapped it on the table, "Guys, I have some here too. How many ingots of gold can I give you?"
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned again. The slightly shorter man with a mustache clapped his hands with a knife: "Hey, this is the first time in history. You two are here to show off your wealth, right?"
"I want gold; I want you too!" The man who spoke at the beginning changed his knife, walked over with a sly smile, and stood next to the woman in green, "Just after you came in, a gust of fragrant wind blew, It’s all wrong with me.” As he said that, he stretched out his hand to grab the cloak of the woman in green.
Before the man's hand could reach it, a simple and brisk voice was heard: "Water method - water knife." The man's arm fell to the ground, and he screamed and fell to the ground with gritted teeth.
The woman in green was still drinking tea relaxedly, as if nothing had happened.
The remaining three people exclaimed: "Practitioners! Run!"
"Stop...stop!" The woman in green said softly.
The three of them immediately stopped moving and did not dare to look back. Qianqiu looked at them expressionlessly.
"You guys take him away quickly and promise not to do anything wrong in the future!" Qianqiu gave them some advice.
The three people hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, repeatedly making promises. The man on the ground ignored the pain of a broken arm and kept kowtowing. The four people again pulled out the eighteenth generation of their ancestors and swore a poisonous oath. After saying that, the three people hurriedly ran over and lifted the kneeling man up, and ran away without looking back.
Just as they walked out of the tea stall, the woman in green moved again, "Water Technique - Water Knife!" Four cold blades condensed from her hands in an instant and rushed towards the four of them.
"Earth Shield - Earth Shield!" Qianqiu saw that this girl was going to kill him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to summon the four shields made of earth, and stopped the four water swords. "Girl, please be merciful and merciful." ah!"
The woman in green was stunned for a moment, then picked up the whip and stood up: "Some people will never change in this life. Don't think that I will be polite to you because you are an intermediate magician. If you stop me again, I’ll kill you too!”
Seeing that the woman in green was chasing after her, and the four of them could not escape, Qianqiu hurriedly stepped across the table to catch up, stopped the woman in green, and stood in front of her: "Look at the four of them, their weapons are all rusty, and their bodies are also very thin. , I must have had no choice..."
"Get out of the way!" The woman in green said coldly again.
Qianqiu continued: "Girl, you really deserve to die for this frivolous thief, but you also broke one of his arms, which is considered punishment. You see, they must have just started, so just punish them." He thought of these human crimes. They didn't want to die, but the woman in front of him actually wanted their lives. He was kind-hearted and would not be willing to kill her unless she had been beaten before. At this moment, he couldn't bear it.
The woman in green waved her long whip and rushed towards Qianqiu.
Qianqiu hid for a moment and hurriedly said to the four people on the ground: "You guys leave quickly! I will not spare you if you do something wrong next time!"
The four of them had no time to say thank you and ran away in a hurry.
"Oh, you do the good stuff, and I'm the bad guy! Boy, then you have to take the blame for them!"
The woman in green shouted loudly, and the whip raised up the wind and whipped towards Qianqiu.
Qianqiu kept hiding, and was almost hit several times, but still managed to dodge by relying on the agility he had practiced day after day on the mountain.
While dodging the attack of the woman in green, she had to persuade her to calm down. After a while, Qianqiu became irritated and thought: "Why can't this crazy woman explain clearly? She must be a high-level magician, so powerful!" "
"Girl! We have no grievances between you and me, why do we keep doing this?" Qianqiu kept waving his hands, trying to make peace with the woman in green in front of him.
"No grievance or enmity? That was just now. Now there is vengeance!" The woman in green took back her whip and clasped her fingers together: "Water method - Water-avoiding whip!" As soon as the words fell, the brown whip was instantly wrapped with thick The water turned into a long blue whip!
The long whip screamed and hit Qianqiu, like a water dragon, swirling all the time, and the mixed airflow continued to blow away the sand on both sides.
Qianqiu thought that the other party was so serious, and he would be doomed if he didn't resist. "Earth Technique - Earth Shield!" The wind and sand gathered between Qianqiu's hands and gradually gathered in front of his eyes. At this moment, the advantages of the desert site were fully demonstrated. It only took a while for the earth wall to be built to bring the long whip to the ground. The water neutralized and turned into mud.
"Girl, let's stop. I know you are a high-level magician and you have a lot of power over me, but your attribute skills are completely defeated by me, and you won't be able to do anything to me for a while." Qianqiu proposed again.
At this moment, at least another man in red clothes and a hat ran from a distance. After a while, he arrived in front of him. He looked at the two people confronting each other and said to the woman in green: "Farewell Ling, let's go! Ghost Head" I’m urging you!”
"The girl in green is originally called Bieling." Qianqiu thought to herself, "That's a good name."
When Bie Lingyi heard this, he looked at Qianqiu and then at the woman riding the horse, and said, "Hongchao, you go first, I have to kill this kid today!"
"The woman in red is called Hongchao, which is okay." At this time, Qianqiu actually had the intention to start thinking about other people's names.
Hongchao looked around and said, "The wind and sand are coming again. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave later."
"You ungrateful brat! This is the end of the line. Don't let me see you again!" Bieling gave up, returned to the tea stall, got on his horse, and left with Hongchao Juechen.
"Goodbye!" Qianqiu waved to the two of them mischievously, and he thought to himself: "I don't want to see you again, an unreasonable and crazy bitch like you."
The two rode out for a while, and the wind and sand finally subsided a lot. Seeing that Huanghu City was not far ahead, the two slowed down.
Hong Chao couldn't help but ask: "Bye Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Bieling said: "Oh, don't mention it. I want to kill four robbers. He has to persuade me to be merciful and spare others. I am so angry that I want to beat him up. He is not the one who is being treated lightly. He is the one who is being treated lightly. Acting like a good guy."
Hearing this, Hongchao couldn't help but smile: "It's not common for people to make you angry. You girl shouldn't have any ideas."
Bie Ling slowly explained: "Sister, you are making fun of me again. That boy is ordinary, mother-in-law, soft-hearted and has low cultivation. I will not like this kind of man."
"I think this guy is pretty good. The intermediate level of talented magician has a second-level spiritual beast, Blade Horse... Forget it, don't worry about it, it's going to be night soon, and Guitou is waiting for us on the city gate tower. , let’s go quickly.”
"Um."
The two men raised their whips and urged their horses to run into Huanghu City.
