There was one more person in the group, and Yan Tingshen felt a little uncomfortable, but Su Ye was as comfortable as usual.
Cheng Shaozheng was not very advanced in cultivation and was not very agile. He was rather bold and generous in character. He always paid for food and accommodation out of his own pocket and paid the bills very generously, never letting the two of them take action. The two refused at first, but Cheng Shaozheng said it was a small reward for giving him daily guidance on practice, and besides, he was not short of such a small amount of money.
After hearing what he said, Su Ye accepted it calmly. Although he didn't fully understand the whip technique, he was generally proficient in martial arts, so he devoted himself to guiding him in his practice.
Yan Ting was deeply suspicious and talked to Su Ye in private, feeling that there was something fishy about this person.
Su Ye said, "We just got to know each other because we have similar interests, so it's nothing."
He also said that I tested him, and his whipping skills were second-rate, which was very suitable for the kind of casual cultivators in Danxiang City who were a mixed bag of good and bad, and who were not good at martial arts. Although he is older than us, he really doesn’t have much experience, and he really doesn’t seem to have seen much of the world.
He also said, Brother Yan, there is no need to worry too much.
Yan Tingshen said nothing more.
In order to get clues about Cang Yu, the three of them spent some time to find a fortune teller, inquired about the time when the "Netherworld" appeared in the recent endless land, and sneaked into the dark market to buy some reliable information. For Su Ye and Yan Tingshen, this was not their first time here, but for Cheng Shaozheng, it was undoubtedly a surprise, dazzling, and sighing that there was such a place in the world.
There is a lot of information about Cang Yu in Mingfu's store, but no one can tell whether it is true or false. What Su Ye and the others want to buy is not directly related to Cang Yu. What they buy is a foundation-building technique suitable for first-time practitioners. all circulation situations.
The man in black, wrapped tightly in front of them, standing in the shadows, discussed the bargaining chip with them and stretched out his withered hand.
Su Ye squeezed the jingling silver purse and handed it to him.
Cheng Shaozheng sighed in a low voice that there was such a way.
The man in black threw a thick roll of brown paper in his arms, turned around and disappeared into the darkness. Su Ye took the cowhide roll that was thrown at him and replied casually: "There are many opportunities in this world."
He slowly unfolded the rough leather paper in front of Yan Tingshen. The handwriting on the leather paper was slightly blurry, but the buyer, seller, name of the technique, and trading place were clearly marked. He said: "Here, Yan Brother, let’s see. Which one do you think it is?”
Yan Ting glanced deeply at the scroll and pondered for a while: "They don't look alike."
"How could it be? I think this." Su Ye pointed to a line: "The description says 'I am alone, and I bought a volume of low-level Qi exercises incognito', which is very consistent."
Yan Tingshen only replied: "If it was him, it would be too deliberate."
Thinking about how a person who does everything well could show such characteristics, Su Ye was dumbfounded: "...too."
Cheng Shaozheng just followed them and was confused.
Going around and around, the clues became increasingly scarce. The rewards posted everywhere in the city and the countryside, the portrait of Zhang Yan that he carried, and the people who were tracking him down all seemed to be in vain. The focus of the three people gradually shifted to cultivation. After several days in a row, a wave of trouble occurred in the world.
Two groups of small gangs killed each other. It seemed that they had committed a theft, and they seemed to have obtained some clues about the divine sword. In the end, the group led by Karasuba forced the opponent back, and they happened to run into each other when they didn't want to leave. Su Ye and the others.
Su Ye probably knew this group of people. He put his arms around and smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
Of course, Karasuba's remnant generals were no match for the three men in front of them. They confiscated their weapons and tied them tightly to a tree.
The nine-section whip in Cheng Shaozheng's hand was shaking in front of his eyes. Su Ye held up the sword and asked with a smile. Wu Yu saw his men being tortured one after another, and finally told the news: "Spare your life! I said, I said!"
The first thing he said before he spoke was an angry voice: "That kid Zhang Yan is really too cunning and evasive!"
Then he said: "Brothers from our gang took advantage of the vacancy in the internal guard of the Beishan clan protector and sneaked into the Tibetan Wen Hall, a branch of the legendary Suizhu Pavilion. They found an ancient book inside, which recorded that the Cangyu Divine Sword It is cast from the strange mine in Lingqiu, the Six Mountains, and is called 'Cang Iron'. We guess that as long as we find this strange mine, we will be able to sense the whereabouts of the Cang Yu Sword using the Source Technique."
Su Ye was a little surprised, then took the words and asked, "You broke into the Yue family's mansion?"
"Yeah, what, what happened? We only dared to steal after finding out that there were no guards in the Tibetan Wen Hall. Sui Zhu's pavilion was so heavily guarded that it was scary. My brother, who was very skilled, risked his life to steal it. Bring this news out..."
Cheng Shaozheng was thoughtful and said with a smile: "You just told us the news that he spent his own life to bring out?"
Karasuba smiled sadly: "I feel sorry for him too, but there are other brothers under his command. I just want to save my life."
Yan Ting raised his eyebrows deeply, and his thoughts sounded somewhat reliable, and asked: "Where is this mountain?"
"The book records that it is south of Changtai."
"Did you find iron ore?"
"No, I was planning to go pick it with my brothers, but we were blocked by that beast Ren Pingshan and ran into you again."
"Does anyone else know this news?"
"No, just you..."
After getting valuable information from the interrogation, Su Ye looked at Wu Yu and looked at Yan Tingshen: "Do you want to let it go?"
Yan Tingshen chuckled and shook his head. If Wu Yu had the intention to let this news leak out, they would be in the predicament of being forced to make enemies again, and said: "We can't keep it."
After hearing this, Cheng Shaozheng strangled Wu Yu's neck with a swipe of his hand, killed him along with several of his men, and dug a hole to bury him.
*
According to the information given by Wu Yu, he sent his men to look for Lingqiu Mountain at the southern end of Changtai three days ago. He only knew the general location and some obscure features, such as the mountain was miasmatic, overgrown with monsters, and the ore was difficult to find. It was really difficult to find it. More difficult.
Su Ye sent a letter to Yue Huan, the eldest son of the Yue family with whom he had a relationship. The letter wrote about the thief in his home and the emptiness inside. He advised that the world is changing now, so don't waste time in Qingfeng Academy anymore. .
Yan Tingshen originally wanted to use his message skills to send a message to Qiong Yi and Qiong Yi who had not been in contact for a long time. Considering that what Sheng Xuanyuan did was relatively difficult and dangerous, and it was also a clan secret, since he did not take the initiative to contact him, it must be that the matter was still unresolved. It was not completed, so I gave up the idea of sending the message.
The three of them searched for ancient books, asked strange people, and went to find Lingqiu Mountain. Mo Yue got the news seven or eight days later.
It's Cang Yu's news.
At the same time, another news came - Zhang Yan was dead.
Some people may know how Zhang Yan died, but most people don't care at all. What they care about is who hands Cang Yu fell into and where he went. Occasionally, there were a few voices discussing, but the waves were minimal. Some people said that Zhang Yan’s body was completely gone, because the people who found Cang Yu saw two machine dolls with swords on their backs, not even a human figure; some said that he was secretly After practicing, he went crazy and committed suicide because there was a hand-copied foundation-building technique in the hidden cave; some people said that Zhang Yan was devoured by Cang Yu's sword spirit.
Of course, these small voices were quickly drowned in the wave of "Where has the Cangyu Sword fallen now?" No one would pay attention to the man who had taken the Divine Sword and fled for more than two months.
What's more, he is a mortal.
Just an extremely mediocre, baseless mortal.
When Yan Tingshen heard the news, he frowned for a long time. Perhaps it was because the young man's fearful but stubborn look of determination that night was so dazzling that he subconsciously remembered it for a long time.
He said to Su Ye: What a pity.
Su Ye didn't know why: "What's the pity?"
"Cang Yu fell into the hands of a powerful enemy and is difficult to snatch." He replied.
Su Ye nodded in agreement: "Yes."
The man currently holding Cang Yu is a notorious and well-known evil man. He studied under the Tianwu Sect, which is the sixth of the "Ten Sects". He deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, rebelled against the sect, and was expelled from the sect many years ago. Considered a scum of the righteous path.
"Speaking of which, I know this old man, his name is Yuan Bai, right?" Su Ye said casually: "My parents fought against him when they were young, but they didn't get much benefit. This old evil man wanted to establish his own sect and conquer the world. He made many evil disciples, caused too much trouble, and was hunted down by three clans and disappeared for many years. I never thought he would have the guts to do this."
Cheng Shaozheng asked: "Is his cultivation very high?"
"It's very high. It's not something ordinary high-level monks can handle, let alone us."
Yan Ting sighed deeply: "It's very difficult..."
While the three of them were still discussing how to deal with Ni Yuanbai, Ni Yuanbai himself was surrounded and suppressed by the first three sects of the ten sects. The Guangyao sect, the leader of the ten sects, united with the Qinggui and the Qinggui on the pretext of eradicating heresy. The two Zen Yin sects sent a group of elders and disciples to force him into Wuyuanchuan.
"Wuyuanchuan" is a deserted land, the mountains are desolate and desolate, and everyone wants to completely annihilate him here.
When Su Ye and the others joined them, most of the small sects and sects followed one after another, including other monks who had retreated after Wu Yue's night battle.
It was during these few days that Su Ye saw the woman who chased Cheng Shaozheng all over the place.
It was a very delicate-looking girl, wearing a dark pink dress. The thick skirt at the hem shone like butterfly pink, and was embroidered with large clusters of hibiscus flowers. Her hair was braided into many thin braids and tied up. His extremely bright hairband is scattered around his ears, his black hair is hanging down behind his back, and his wrist is equipped with many small sparkling bottles, which make a crisp tinkling sound when they collide together.
The moment she saw Cheng Shaozheng, she raised her arms high and waved, as if she was about to shout something, but then turned into a toothy smile and shouted: "Azheng!"
Cheng Shaozheng was stunned and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
The girl said "Huh?", full of doubts and anger, "You, you are still avoiding me? I have been looking for you for so long, and you are still avoiding me?!"
Cheng Shaozheng didn't stop at all.
She said angrily: "Stop! You run again!"
Su Ye only saw the fleeing figure and smacked his mouth with emotion: It's so wonderful.
