At the east end of Qingchuanguan Town, the butcher's shop on the corner of the street had not yet opened until midnight. The waiter at Dangguan Inn had come several times to order fresh meat, but this time he still came back disappointed.
Ever since I came to the town, in the past ten years, this butcher Hu would always disappear for a few days a year. I don’t know how long it will take to disappear this time.
After knocking on the door to no avail, the waiter thought sadly about which store in town he would go to in the next few days to make purchases. Although I usually don't get along with Mr. Hu, I understand that doing business with such a person is just like his dull and taciturn character, which gives people a sense of calmness and reliability, not to mention that there is so much purchasing power. …
On a spring afternoon, the sun sets westward very quickly as soon as Shenshi arrives. The sky was blue and clear, with no clouds and no wind, but at this moment, a bolt of blue lightning pierced the sky, and a spring thunder suddenly sounded in the east end of the town.
The cyan lightning flashed from the corner of his eyes, and the deafening thunderbolt fell to the ground, and the smell of mountain fire suddenly filled the air.
The waiter in the shop was all excited. Could it be that God couldn't bear to see him making so much money behind the boss's back?
The lightning and explosion burst into the senses almost at the same time, indicating that the spring thunder should be very close. The waiter was dumbfounded for a moment, his whole body numb with the joy of surviving the disaster, but he cast curious eyes behind him.
He was stunned to find that a spring thunder struck through the roof of a private house behind a family, blasting a four-foot-square hole. The private house located behind the butcher shop was Butcher Hu's house.
The waiter in the shop was not bold enough to run in and take a look. The people at the bottom of the dynasty had never seen any cultivation scenery where immortals could control the wind and move like thunder. They had always been in awe of this mysterious natural phenomenon from the bottom of their hearts. Mumbling something like a complaint that the butcher Hu had done something bad, the waiter ran away from the scene where God was showing his power.
The house that was struck by spring thunder was filled with rubble and dust, and in the hazy sky there seemed to be a beautiful figure of a goddess appearing in the world.
The two brothers of the Zhang family looked at the figure that was gradually becoming clearer in shock, and couldn't help but respectfully shouted: "Mistress!"
Thinking that the two brothers had not accomplished anything, but had wasted a rare thousand-mile locator, they couldn't help but lie on the ground in shame, not daring to look at the approaching figure of their mistress.
Ling Qingzhufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and her clear gaze swept over the injured legs and hands of the two brothers. With a wave of her sleeves, she removed the restraint placed on them by Butcher Hu, and asked in a cold voice: "What's the situation? Directly. Say the important thing."
After Zhang Zishan helped his brother who had injured his thigh for no reason to stand up, he quickly said respectfully: "This town is not big, but it is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The man who locked us up here looks to be in his fifties. He is the one in front of us." The owner of the butcher shop’s strength… is still unclear.”
"You didn't even test the opponent's strength, so you're trapped here?"
Ling Qingzhu raised her beautiful eyebrows and her tone was filled with anger.
She temporarily put aside the question and asked what she cared about most: "Have you waited for Wei Rui?"
"Yes, Mistress." Zhang Zizhen nodded and said: "Yesterday at noon, the young lady's caravan passed Qingchuan Pass. My brother and I were going to meet the young lady and them, but..."
"What's the result?" The room seemed to have turned from warm spring to cold winter. Ling Qingzhu asked coldly: "Before I came, I used a secret method to find out that Wei Rui was not in danger. Was it the person who trapped you who captured her? "
"No, no." Zhang Zizhen lowered his head quickly and said, "I am trapped here. I don't know what happened to the young lady, but a master has appeared in such a town. My brother and I are very afraid... something will happen to the young lady."
"Master?" Ling Qingzhu smiled coldly and joked coldly: "That butcher shop owner?"
Zhang Zishan lowered his head and hesitated and said: "There are two people. I was defeated by a swordsman, and my brother was defeated by the butcher. But after we reported our origins, the butcher did not dare to do anything to the young lady."
"Hmph! What a waste. It has lowered the strength of the Lin family in Xishan for nothing." Ling Qingzhu waved his sleeves and gave them two pills. "After taking this, the injuries can be stopped to the maximum extent."
"Thank you, Mistress! Thank you, Mistress!" The two brothers swallowed it down gratefully without doubting that he was there.
"You have been here for a few days, so you should know the caravan's route, right?"
Zhang Zizhen could hear the impatience in his words. If he hadn't figured this out yet, he would have to die to apologize. He quickly lowered his head and said, "If Miss and the others hadn't rested at the Honglu Inn in the town, they would not be able to rest at this time. It’s time to enter the Xingchui Forest.”
"Well, time is running out, you lead the way." Ling Qingzhu tilted her head slightly, the hole in the roof was like a patio, and the green smoke left by the spring thunder outside the patio gradually faded.
As soon as the two brothers crushed the thousand-mile locator, she, who was still in Jinguan City, sensed the direction and immediately took to the air to control the air. In just half a quarter of an hour, the distance of two to three hundred kilometers was reached by her full use of body skills. , viewed from the sky, it is just a wisp of blue smoke that is rapidly retreating.
This is already a broken rule. Although this rule is originally a rule set by the ten joint cultivation sects and the secular dynasty, it is still a bit troublesome. I am afraid it won't be long before the old people who live in the Mujin royal family will notice it.
…
…
The Great Star Forest is an area far away from roosting birds.
Butcher Hu held the wooden stick casually at his side with one hand. After hearing Mu Qing's question, he smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "I heard that your boy used to practice Shura Jue. How come he became a Poison cultivator?"
When Butcher Hu said this, he showed his identity.
Yue Jiu came to Mu Qing's side with a sword and said coldly: "This should be a trap set up by the Hidden Valley Assassins."
Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had been paying attention to Butcher Hu's movements. He nodded and said softly: "If I kill you, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see Senior Sister. If there is no such letter, I'm afraid no matter what the outcome is, it will be you or me who dies. Death, their goal must have been achieved."
"But what is the ultimate goal of this?" Mu Qing whispered doubtfully, and the shadow in his heart deepened.
Yue Jiu felt warm in her heart when she heard Mu Qing mention the letter. In the past few years, he had been decadent and always thinking about how to escape from the muddy whirlpool of Hidden Valley. After having this idea, he had a different view on many arrangements of Hidden Valley.
He had long understood that many of Hidden Valley's methods were actually aimed at suppressing and controlling his own family, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "What they did was just to instigate confrontation, win over and suppress. Maybe someone wanted to use this matter to suppress the pharmacist lineage. After all, ...The Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and the Medicine Master lineage are different after all.”
Although Mu Qing and Yue Jiu spoke in very low voices, they did not cover it up deliberately.
Butcher Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, his extremely ordinary old face was not vivid, and the conversation between the two young men did not cast a big stone in his heart.
As early as the first few years after the death of his wife and daughter, Butcher Hu's face had lost all expression, but unlike the face that had been shattered beyond recognition by the miserable wind and frost, the pure killing intent that remained when the Taoist heart was broken It has become a seed full of obsession. After being planted on the shore of the heart, it has many vivid meanings, that is doubt, that is revenge.
The fact that Hidden Valley could find him so quickly proved that eyes were on him. Those who can become a first-class assassin have always been very patient. During the past ten years, he had been quietly collecting clues during the short period of time when he disappeared while doing tasks. Now that the clues are gradually becoming clearer, the suppressed desire for revenge and murder in his heart has gradually formed a devouring whirlpool in his heart.
As he listened to Mu Qing and Yue Jiu's words gradually ending, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Assassins who were born in Hidden Valley have experienced this more or less, right?
"Are you done?" Butcher Hu looked at Mu Qing and Yue Jiu, "Are all the young people in Hidden Valley so disrespectful to their seniors in recent years? You haven't answered any of my questions."
Crimson's true energy rose again, and the pressure and momentum of the first rank were completely released. Butcher Hu did not intend to let the two little guys continue chatting like this.
Yue Jiu frowned, feeling sad in her heart. She lowered her voice to the highest level and said: "You take them away first. You will fall into such a situation today. After all, I am sorry for you. If you meet Ah Chu in the future, please treat me Apologize."
Mu Qing sneered lightly and said jokingly: "You can't even defeat me. If you want me to leave, are you rushing to reincarnate? Besides, if you want to apologize, just apologize in front of your senior sister. I'm not Wanhua Valley." How can I, an outer disciple, go all the way to find my senior sister?"
"Then you call me Senior Sister?"
"My sister is senior sister Ning Chu's junior sister. Can't I just call her my sister?"
The conversation between the two was a little nonsensical, but at the same time they started to rush towards Butcher Hu with all their energy.
"Create a chance for me, I have to send Qi into his body." Mu Qing's voice was broken by the roaring air, but this was the only way Mu Qing could think of.
"boom--"
The cyan gradually became thicker like jasper and jade, and the crimson gradually became darker like deep-sea coral. Two huge masses of true energy collided together.
The light wave illuminated the entire secluded forest in an instant. After the green and red masses of Qi collided, they were as silent as the snow falling on the stream. When Mu Qing and Hu Tufu took half a step closer, it became fierce. It sounds like boiling oil cooking snow.
The wooden stick and the dagger didn't collide at all under the enveloping energy, but the tip of the dagger began to have small cracks, and the wooden stick was shortened by an inch.
Yue Jiu stopped a few steps behind Mu Qing, unable to distract herself from the situation where the building was about to collapse.
He tilted his sword upright, his sword eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment, he finally sank into the realm of the clear heart of the sword. I saw that the dense forest originally illuminated by the two groups of true energy dimmed a bit after a moment, and a jade-colored missing moon suddenly hung on the sword head.
"Boom -" The two masses of true energy entangled and spread out in all directions. The waves made several people's clothes rustle and the surrounding branches and leaves flew away.
After all, Mu Qing's control and use of Qi was too crude, not as good as the first-grade Hu Butcher. A mouthful of blood spurted out from Mu Qing's mouth, and his whole body was like a small boat that had been breaking the waves and crashed into the distance with the rolling waves. Reef.
"This is the moment!"
Yue Jiu opened his eyes with sword intent. He had no time to care about Mu Qing's injury. He took a step forward and pushed the sword with his body. The sword led him forward, tilted forward, and the tip of the Yuehua Sword directly drew out It made a heart-warming arc, touching Butcher Hu's chest before he could recover even after he took in a violent breath.
"Bang——" The sound of swords and sticks clashing started again.
"Hmph!" Butcher Hu never thought that the previous blow would directly consume one of his Zhou Tian Qi. At this time, half of the Zhou Tian Qi was recovered. When the other Zhou Tian Qi was about to be full, Yue Jiu was I found an opening where my energy was not yet full, so I could only bring up the long-dusted true meaning of the great road. The wooden stick in my hand became a pen that could determine life and death, and I drew a line from top to bottom, from right to left. , Shura's true meaning of killing and the true meaning of swordsmanship collided directly.
The collision of the avenue was silent and lonely. The wooden stick had many dense cracks, and the missing moon on the sword head was almost cracked. This has already touched the foundation of the avenue.
This move of "catching the moon from the bottom of the water" can be said to be Yue Jiu's most impressive move so far. The sword is full of energy and the missing moon is like jade. But facing the stick that looked like it was stained with blood, it was still a bit short of true meaning. After Queyue hit the rich blood-like true meaning of Shura, the cracks slowly became larger. In just a few blinks, The missing moon collapsed, and Yue Jiu flew out directly.
Fortunately, Tufu Hu's move was not full of true energy. Although it hurt Yue Jiu's Queyue Kendo, it did not directly kill him.
"Boom-boom-"
At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from behind. Yue Jiu flew upside down in the air with her sword. Feeling the familiar Qi coming forward quickly, she relaxed in her heart and shouted to the stream of light passing by her shoulder. Said: "It's your turn!"
One move didn't end, another move started again.
There seemed to be a spring thunder in the secluded forest. The wooden and green swords merged into one, and they stabbed forward as fast as a stream of blue light.
