I had just forced my fist back, and my blood was boiling. I didn't even say a word, and I felt a little depressed. He simply pushed away the soldiers around him and sat under the willow tree in front of his house, dreaming about the past.
Jiang Xingze and I met at a high-end private school in Taihao City.
At that time, we were both little cubs with no hair fully grown. Jiang Xingze was born with a thin body and suffered from many diseases. He had suffered all kinds of hardships that other cubs had never heard of since childhood, but I was as strong as an ox. By chance, Just a few years after the fierce war between the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the Jiang family was unique in Dezhao County, but it could only just show its prominence in Quzhou. In front of the eight major families in Quzhou, it still seemed a little unknown.
Everywhere in the world is a river and lake. There are naturally countless wealthy families in such a high-end private school, and among them, the children of the eight ethnic groups are the most arrogant and domineering. Jiang Xingze is thin and small, so he will naturally be bullied by them. It was just a small fight on weekdays, but one time, these bastards actually knocked out three of Jiang Xingze’s teeth, which really pissed me off, who usually watched with cold eyes.
After class ended that day, I grabbed Jiang Xingze and went to find the children of the Eight Tribes. With a fistfight, I beat up those little losers. Those people knelt down and apologized to Jiang Xingze bitterly, and vowed not to cause trouble to him again in the future.
Perhaps, it was from then on that I started thinking about eradicating the eight major families in Quzhou.
That night, Jiang Xingze secretly stole a bottle of wine and came to honor me with a smile. The two of us sat on the roof, watching the stars, and it was extremely comfortable.
I still remember that Jiang Xingze asked me if I would like him to follow me.
I replied, "Since we drink together, we are brothers. Since we are brothers, why should we follow each other?"
"A real man is born between heaven and earth. He should carry a three-foot long sword and achieve unparalleled achievements!" I stood on the roof and pointed at Jiafu Mountain in the distance with the help of wine. "Sooner or later, I will split the earth and seal the king. Then, you will be my prime minister!"
Jiang Xingze laughed loudly, "Okay!"
From then on, we became brothers, sleeping together and drinking from the same bottle.
In a blink of an eye, not long after leaving the private school, we became adults. As expected, except for him, I didn't make any more brothers. Later, my father asked me to practice martial arts at Jiafu Temple and travel around the world to gain experience. Jiang Xingze followed me as expected.
Sixteen years ago, the Sky Demon case broke out in Chang'an. His father, Jiang Cang, was deeply aware of the uncertainty of life and death in the officialdom, so he began to gradually hand over the affairs of the Jiang family to himself. At the same time, he reported to the court to elect him as the shepherd of Quzhou, preparing to take care of him until his old age. At that time, I secretly ran out of Jiafu Temple and was traveling with Jiang Xingze in Taiping County, Liuzhou, near the rising sea. When the letter arrived, I wanted to make a contribution and agreed without even thinking about it. I packed my luggage overnight and prepared to return home.
Having just received the letter, I was extremely excited. My good brother Jiang Xingze had just experienced enlightenment and entered the realm of matter. At this time, I was informed that I would take over the clan affairs. It was truly a double blessing.
On the second day, Jiang Xingze and I were eager to return home, and we rode fast all the way to the north.
Liuzhou is the old place of Wu and Baiyue in the Three Kingdoms period. It is located at the southernmost point of the empire. Taiping County, which is affiliated with Liuzhou, can be regarded as the southernmost county of the empire. Jiang Xingze and I want to return to Quzhou in one go. It really takes more than a day or two. After walking for a day, the two of them finally arrived at Shao County in Liuzhou, which borders Taiping County to the north and south.
In the wilderness, the cicadas were chilling, and when Jiang Xingze and I were worried about having nowhere to stay, a thunderous explosion in the distance attracted us. When we took a closer look, a Taoist temple named Luofu Temple appeared in front of our eyes. Standing at the door, there was thick smoke billowing inside the Luofu Temple. The young Taoist priests covered their mouths and noses and ran away one by one. One or two Taoist priests did not forget to advise us not to enter the temple.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Xingze and I looked at each other, smiled, and both walked into the Taoist temple, and disappeared in the thick smoke after a while. Being born with double pupils, I have excellent eyesight, so this bit of smoke is no longer a problem. I pulled Jiang Xingze's sleeve and ran directly to the thickest part of the smoke, which was an alchemy dojo.
There seemed to be no one in the dojo. When we got closer, we saw that a huge alchemy furnace had been opened in half. The heating on the ground turned into wet smoke. Something similar to egg yolks floated on the surface of the alchemy furnace. A light yellow mist floated in the air. The ground was already covered with water. It's embarrassing
Unbearable.
"The explosion should be caused by the collapse and explosion of the alchemy furnace caused by the failure of the people in the temple." Jiang Xingze covered his mouth and nose, pulled me and walked out, "There is something in the fog, you and I must be careful, hurry, retreat quickly .”
I thought it made sense, so I grabbed Jiang Xingze's sleeve with my backhand and said, "I'll lead the way."
Suddenly, Jiang Xingze held me down and said in a low voice, "There is someone! It's hard to tell the direction!"
He has a realm and I have a vision. After he finished speaking, I looked around and finally saw the man in the thick fog.
It was a Taoist priest. The most surprising thing was that the man walked without making any sound. Even with Jiang Xingze's state of things, he could only tell that there was someone around him, but he could not judge its location. If I hadn't been born with double eyes, I wouldn't have been able to see clearly. .
Father Jiang Cang's realm is so advanced that there is inevitably a rustling sound when walking, but this man walked slowly and carelessly, his figure was erratic, like a ghost, and he seemed to be walking on clouds and mist without even touching the ground. The realm will not be lower than that of my father. My father has not used weapons for many years and has put aside all his kung fu. I think this person's level and kung fu are even higher than those of my father.
The man glanced at me and Jiang Xingze, then stayed put. I looked closely at his face and shuddered unconsciously. His appearance was extremely strange. Except for the two red eyes that moved slightly, his face was just like that of a dead person. He was completely motionless. I said he was ugly. He's not ugly, and he's not good-looking either. He's just so cold and so dumb that one can't help but shiver at the sight of him.
Jiang Xingze and I have been playing with bare butts since we were young, and we could tell each other's thoughts just by looking at each other. Our eyes met for a moment, and then we kept our eyes on the weirdo and slowly stepped back, tiptoeing to the extreme.
Suddenly, the man moved and approached us step by step like a meteor. Jiang Xingze and I calmed down, knowing that the Taoist priest would be extremely vicious when he made a move, so we thought we had to strike first. I made a gesture with my left hand, drew my knife and rushed towards the Taoist priest, while Jiang Xingze sat still, gathering his thoughts secretly, waiting for the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest was much stronger than me. Before I could come into contact with him, he stepped forward and grabbed my throat, then grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up. I swung my knife and chopped, but the dog Taoist moved quickly and violently. He dragged my knife with his other hand and gently exerted force. The ring-head knife was cut off every inch. I suddenly lost my support.
I grabbed the dog Taoist's hand on my neck with both hands and tried to break it open to escape, but I was unable to save myself and could only struggle hard.
When Jiang Xingze saw this, he became very anxious. He took out his feather fan and swung a blue beam directly at the lower abdomen of the dog Taoist priest.
When Lan Gang arrived, the Taoist priest was unmoved and seemed determined to put me to death.
I sighed bitterly in my heart: I have no grudge against you, and this is the result of cause and effect!
Jiang Xingze's blue aura was only an inch away from the Taoist priest. A whisk appeared out of thin air in the Taoist's hand. The whisk was waved, and the tail of the dust spun in a small circle in mid-air. The blue aura disappeared instantly.
In desperation, I mustered up my last bit of strength and kicked the Taoist priest hard. My toes were everywhere, as if I had kicked a steel plate, but the dog Taoist priest was unharmed. Under the pain, my eyes shed tears. Under the suffocation, I had lost the ability to think. My double pupils gradually merged into one, completely turning into a rabbit in someone else's hands. I don’t like this feeling of being at the mercy of others!
However, if Jiang Xingze runs away, he will no longer be my brother!
Seeing that Jiang Xingze was so stubborn, he hurried over, bowed to the Taoist priest, saluted respectfully, and said, "Taoist Master, my brother Jiang Feng and I accidentally entered the treasure land unintentionally. We did not spy on your temple. Let’s get out of this secret matter quickly. I hope the Taoist Master will forgive us for our offense and spare my brother’s life.”
After Jiang Xingze finished speaking, the Taoist Dog did not waver. He did not relax or tighten his grip on my hand. His eyes were as calm as still water, showing no joy or sorrow. It seemed that the person he was about to squeeze to death was not a person, but a beast. Being so underestimated made me feel more angry, but I had no choice but to struggle hard, fanning my hands to signal Jiang Xingze to run away quickly.
The entire dojo was filled with light yellow mist. I don't know if it was the mist or the suffocation that caused my consciousness to become unclear, and a trace of black appeared in my eyes.
Just when I was dying, a strong wind suddenly blew behind me. Jiang Xingze, who had just gotten a few steps closer to the dog Taoist priest, immediately started to move, waving his feather fan as if lifeless, and bursts of strong wind were released.
He came out and attacked directly in front of the dog Taoist priest.
The Dog Taoist still had an expressionless face, and he quickly swept the whisk. He completed three moves of bombing, raking, and slashing in one go. There was no trace of a change of moves in between. Suddenly, there was a continuous chiss, chiss, chiss, and a crimson thought erupted from the whisk, instantly killing Jiang Xingze. After being fanned thirty feet away, Jiang Xingze didn't even scream, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. .
In the face of absolute strength, everything is false. I have pity on my brother. Apart from sweeping away the smoke several feet around the dog Taoist priest, he didn't even damage anyone's hair. It's pitiful and pathetic.
It felt like my brother had lost his voice, and I gradually despaired, sighing secretly in my heart: Jiang Xingze, Jiang Xingze, you and I, our brother, died in this small Taoist temple before our great cause was completed. How miserable the world is!
Just after I sighed, the Dog Taoist's hand, as hard as a steel claw, suddenly let go, and I immediately fell to the ground.
After breathing heavily for a while, I didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to check on Jiang Xingze's injury.
Seeing that my brother was still alive, I hurriedly picked up Jiang Xingze and ran out, hoping to find a medical center to treat him as soon as possible. But I heard a faint sound coming from behind. The dog Taoist priest was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his nose was bleeding. He said breathlessly, "Exalted Master, wait a minute, come quickly to help me regain my spirit. I will heal him. Otherwise, This child is hopeless!"
It's hard to save a fire from afar, so I hesitated, but finally I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and finally agreed!
