Prologue: The Frost and Snow Realm of the Three Realms of Yin Chakra, Xu Yan

Prologue: The Frost and Snow Realm of the Three Realms of Yin Chakra, Xu Yan

Although Ancient Qingcheng is an ordinary city, it occupies a vast area and is surrounded by thousands of smaller towns. It is the ordinary economic center of the county, extending in all directions, and the city wall is nineteen feet high. It will take at least nearly a hundred years to build this city. Iron Bucket of Gold City.

The official road from Guqing County in Luoyang Prefecture to Shu County in Qinzhou is one of the few economic arteries between the two states. The official road in Jushan is lined with thousands of miles of land and mountains that are sparsely populated because it is close to the boundless mountains. There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the jungle. Except for the tribes whose ancestors lived in the mountains, there are almost no traces of people. Until it was close to ancient Qingcheng, there were only a few small towns and concentrated villages.

It was already dusk, and the clouds in the sky were rolling violently. Lightning flashed across the endless sky with loud roars. Countless raindrops hit the plains, splashing water, and huge black clouds carrying thunderous thunder. They collided together fiercely, sparks burst out at the edge of the collision, and thunder roared, shaking the world.

This city called Qingshi City has gradually become silent due to the bad weather, and the bustle of the night market in the past has disappeared. Only the bustling brothels and a few noisy large restaurants are still brightly lit, and people are singing and dancing as usual. I'm afraid those brothel girls will make a few more overnight stays tonight. The city gate had just been closed tightly with the efforts of several soaked soldiers. The golden light of dusk had long been swept away by the violent storm. The sky had become completely overcast, and thick dark clouds covered the sky. , a flash of lightning flashed from time to time, mixed with violent rain, ravaging everything unbridled.

With a creak, the door of Fulai Inn was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew into the warm inn. Cold rainwater hit the edge of the threshold, instantly wetting the ground a few steps in front of the door.

Just when Ah Fu, the waiter, was about to scold him, he saw four dark figures standing in the wind and rain behind the young man who opened the door. They were big and round, and they looked like they were not a good person at first glance. He quickly changed his face and stepped forward to cut him off. He was pulled into the house and said flatteringly: "Uncles, there are two large empty rooms in the shop today. Come in and warm yourself up and eat some hot food." As he said this, he patted the clothes of the young man in front of him with a towel.

At this time, there were two tables of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor. One table was a few people with swords and swords, eating and drinking. The other table was two young men in silk clothes. They were luxuriously dressed. They looked like young men from rich families. At this time, someone came in and looked over.

Xu Yan came in with a few masked men in black clothes, soaked to the skin and in a very bad mood. It is true that he is a Qi Sea Realm monk, but at this time, he does not have any spiritual weapons with him. He can only control some low-level magic weapons and talismans with Xuan Qi, and the few pills he possesses have long been used up. , the recovery of Xuan Qi is extremely slow, so this heavy rain left him, a Xuan cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm, helpless. He was almost drenched, and his dark, wet hair hung in front of his forehead, and his cheeks were washed away. The blood scabs and mud stains were gone, revealing the original fair skin and beauty.

Feeling the looks from several people in the lobby, Xu Yan hummed softly in his heart, pushed Ah Fu away, and stepped forward to sit at an empty table. The hand in his sleeve squeezed the bell tightly, and with a thought in his mind, the big man in black who first came in took out a soaked money bag from his arms and threw it in front of Ah Fu. Then the four big men stood behind Xu Yan. Without saying a word, he didn't even care about the dripping water on his body.

"Waiter, go buy me a few sets of clothes and two plates of hot food. I'll give you the rest of the money." Xu Yan looked wet on the surface, but in fact his underwear was not wet. Although he couldn't condense his energy into a mask, he still kept it. Using spiritual energy to circulate on the surface of the skin only consumes too much spiritual energy and is ultimately indecent.

"This... young master, with all due respect, you have so many people under your command, are two dishes enough? Our store has special iron plate roast chicken and braised beef. How many kilograms would you like?" Ah Fu looked at it. The big men behind Xu Yan rolled their eyes and smiled charmingly.

Xu Yan didn't speak, didn't even raise his head, and was still playing with the small bronze bell in his hand. A big man in black clothes behind him took a step forward and picked up Ah Fu's thin body. Ah Fu's feet were dangling in the air, and his neck seemed to be bound by iron hoops, unable to move. His horrified eyes looked directly into the gray dull eyes of the big man outside the mask.

"Sir, please forgive me, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, sir." Ah Fu struggled and shouted. Hearing the sound, two greasy people rushed out of the door behind the wooden stairs, with spoons and knives in their hands. They were obviously chefs. When these two people saw this scene, they realized that it was the waiter who had offended the young master and was taught a lesson by his servants. The chef holding the spoon muttered to Xu Yan: "Our boss is the younger brother of Zhao Yuanwai. I would like to ask the young master to show your kindness and give me some thin noodles. I'm treating you to the shop today. I'll treat you to a drink, young master."

The big man in black let go of his hand, Ah Fu picked up the money bag tremblingly on the ground, showed Xu Yan a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Master, wait a moment, I will go and do what you asked." It's something." After saying a few words to the chef, he took the money bag and pushed open the door and ran into the rain.

The two chefs apologized and went into the inner room to prepare the meal.

At this time, the few people in the world stopped drinking. One of them, a rough man with a loud voice, glanced at Xu Yan and said loudly: "Nowadays, the sons of officials and wealthy businessmen, relying on their power, If I, a hero like Lao Tie, who knows how to bully civilians who don't know martial arts, meet him, I will kill him all over the house, scatter all his money, and distribute it to the poor and suffering people!"

"Brother Tie said it well!"

"Brother Tie is so arrogant that he will definitely be a great hero in the future!"

Several people at the same table cheered loudly and looked at Xu Yan provocatively from time to time. These martial arts people, who are not good at martial arts, spend all day doing nothing but robbing the so-called rich families' money. They don't think about martial arts and make progress, and they eat and drink freely. They don't dare to touch those who are really rich and powerful.

Today, they were also drunk. Seeing that Xu Yan was wearing tattered cloth clothes. They thought he was not from a particularly wealthy family, but only had a few bodyguards. They unconsciously gained some momentum, started to sarcastically, and vented some of their usual irritation. The resentment of government oppression.

Xu Yan picked up a chopstick of the braised beef that had just been served, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, completely ignoring the shouts of the martial arts people on the table next to him. Behind him, several big men with black turbans and masks said nothing, standing like logs behind him, their eyes dull, as if nothing could attract them.

The rugged man named Tie was a little drunk, and he was flattered by several people at the same table, and he felt dizzy that he was really a great hero. At that moment, he opened his eyes angrily and said to Xu Yan's side of the table: "My dear friend, it's a rainy night outside, and all the households are closing their doors to take shelter from the rain. That waiter is just a part-time worker, and he's pitiful. Why are you bothering?" You want to bully him? You really are not a son of a man!" After all, he saw a few big guys behind Xu Yan, so he didn't say too much.

Xu Yan paused while holding the water glass, turned his head to look at the people at the table, and said nothing. Several big men in black clothes around them took a step forward, and the wooden floor they stepped on made a "clang" sound. Suddenly, the lobby on the first floor was silent. The only sound was the wind and rain raging outside, and the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the doors and windows. clear.

"Hey, you guys have something to say, don't get angry." A young man in silk clothes at the other table picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "You come to this inn to rest in such a weather. Seeing as you are not from the local area, you must not be here. If you pass by here, you have something important to do. In this case, we are destined to meet you, so why get angry over a little waiter?"

This young man in silk clothes has a fair face and elegant appearance, generous manners, and polite speech, which makes people like him immediately.

"That's true. It's just that what this little brother did was inappropriate. We Brother Tie couldn't stand it, so we tried to persuade him. Brother Tie meant well. I hope I don't misunderstand him." The big man surnamed Tie said. A white-clothed scribe next to him who had not drank much stood up and bowed to Xu Yan and the two young men. This also gave the big man named Tie a step down. They also saw the extraordinary qualities of the big men in black behind Xu Yan. In their opinion, those big men acted like strong men in the military, so it was better not to offend him as much as possible.

The door of the inn was pushed open, and another gust of cold wind and cold rain blew into the door. A man wearing rags entered the room, dripping wet, and holding a child wrapped in cloth for several months in his arms. layers of wrapping. He turned around and closed the store door, walked to Xu Yan flatteringly, handed the package to him, took it out in his arms, took out a small bag of silver, and said: "Master, I bought the things you asked me to buy. It’s the remaining money.”

It is not difficult for a discerning person to see that he earned half a tael of silver from this trip in the rain, which is equivalent to the waiter's two months' wages. Xu Yan gave him too much silver. Although he said he would be rewarded with it all, he did not dare to take it all away. That was almost thirty taels of silver. Two sets of silk shirts cost eighteen taels, and there was still some left. It was more than ten taels. He just followed the old rules and took some small money that the customers would not care about. This time the customer gave more, so he simply took half a tael.

Xu Yan took the package and unwrapped the two outer layers of wrapping cloth. Inside were two sets of brand new silk shirts, which were not wet at all. He did not accept the money, but nodded and said to the waiter: "The rest of the money will be rewarded to you." The waiter nodded and bowed repeatedly, regardless of the water on his body: "Thank you, sir. It is my honor to serve you. I don't know if you have any other instructions." ?”

His face was flushed, and he wanted to go up and clean Xu Yan's shoes and dust his clothes. The dozen or so taels of silver that the guest casually tipped him this time were worth more than a year's wages, so it didn't matter if he got wet in the rain. This time I can finally buy a few kilograms of good pork belly for my mother at home, which she has not eaten for a long time, and I can also buy some jewelry for my newlywed wife. Since she followed him a few years ago, not only has she not enjoyed the blessings, but she has also stayed up all night to give to Yuan Chen. She does laundry at home and has to take care of her blind mother at night, which is really hard for her.

The big man surnamed Tie here saw the waiter's appearance and snorted coldly, thinking that people nowadays are so powerful that they don't even give up their dignity for money. It's a shame that I sympathized with you just now. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed, so I just stopped watching. He raised his glass and shouted: "Do it!" "Do it!"

Although Xu Yan was looking at the food, he could see all the subtleties in the expressions of everyone in the hall. In his eyes, these people were too lazy to communicate with them. In his opinion, these people were full of turbid energy, their meridians were blocked, they were incompetent in martial arts, and their mysterious paths were blocked. They were unconscious in the world of mortals, struggling and wandering. What ability could he have to look at them? .

After a long while, Xu Yan had eaten and thought for a while. A strange look flashed in his eyes. He called the waiter to him and said, "Prepare a guest room for the poor Taoist. You can buy two more items with the money." I'll give you the rest of the money after you wear the Taoist robe." After that, he took out some money from his pocket and threw it at the waiter's feet.

The waiter didn't know how many times his mood had changed today. Now that he could get the reward from this noble man, he said flatteringly with a flushed face: "I will take the Taoist to rest now, and I will buy some clothes later." Take the robe to Master Dao and take it to your room."

"Yes." Xu Yan stood up gently. He was still wearing the tattered and dripping clothes. Just as he was about to follow the waiter upstairs, the laughter of the young man in silk clothes came: "This young man, I I see that your steps are sloppy and your face is pale. Since we are destined to meet each other, Xiao Ke does have some medical skills, so can he diagnose and treat the young master?"

"I'm fine, thank you, sir." Xu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was about to laugh out loud, but in the end he held it back and followed the waiter upstairs. You should ignore this man in silk clothes according to his temperament, but after all, he is only in his twenties, and even if he wants to completely control his emotions, he is far from able to do so.

Less than. The words of the man in silk clothes just now almost made him laugh out loud. Even if a mortal doctor has great medical skills, he can't compare to a magical elixir from a cultivator, not to mention that he himself is not sick at all.

The man in silk clothes looked at the four big men in black who followed Xu Yan upstairs, and said to the people at the same table: "The four guards around this person are extremely powerful. I'm afraid none of them are my opponent. Although I didn't feel that The guard shows signs of practicing external skills, but with one step he can make a deep concave footprint appear on the board without cracking. This kind of strength and control is something that even my father cannot achieve."

The stern man took a sip and said: "There is nothing special about this person. I am afraid that the four guards are all innate masters of martial arts and have reached the state of returning to nature."

The smiling face of the young man in silk clothes finally changed color, and he said in shock: "Innate master of martial arts!? Mokan, your vision is not wrong, but this guy actually used four innate masters of martial arts as his guards. What is his background!"

"I think he just called himself a poor Taoist, and he seemed not to care about the few innate martial arts guards. He drove them arbitrarily. He must have strong power behind him. Only the Qinglian Temple within tens of thousands of miles has such power."

"The Qinglian Temple is full of Taoist priests, but they disdain pure cultivation and only care about being brave and fierce. However, the master of the temple is a master of the peak innate martial arts, and there are more than ten innate masters of martial arts in the temple, dominating the area within a hundred thousand miles. One side.”

The stern man snorted: "The master of Qinglian Temple was born in Jushan City, so he must have practiced martial arts. It would not be easy to develop his power. Qinglian Temple is domineering and domineering, and the tens of thousands of Taoist priests below are mostly greedy for money and lust. , troublemakers, relying on their own skills to bully ordinary people."

"That's not something you and I can take care of." "We ourselves are so busy that we don't have time to care about other people's lives."

Xu Yan was playing with the [Ling Gathering Mysterious Pill] in his hand, with a strange look on his face. What kind of mysterious pill is this? It is clearly a Qingxin Pill that can calm the mind and calm the mind. It is very useful for innate martial arts masters, but It was of no use to him at this point.

He threw the elixir casually into the storage bag, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. Those four big men in black were standing at the door. If anyone tried to force their way into this room, they would be killed instantly by these four refined corpses.

A night of silence.

The next morning, beams of golden sunshine filtered in through the window lattice. The simple tables and chairs in the store looked antique under the early morning sunshine. Countless dust particles visible to the naked eye struggled endlessly in the sunlight, trying to escape this small beam of sunlight. The little light has control over them.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open and a young Taoist walked out. Wearing a brand new Taoist robe of fine fabrics, her hair was casually tied into a bun. Two strands of black hair hung down from her temples, revealing her fair forehead, and her thin lips were pursed tightly. His calm eyes faced the dazzling sunlight, and an aura suddenly burst out from his body. His robes were flying in the wind, and the doors and windows behind him were clanking.

The handsome Taoist waved his sleeves, and his aura disappeared. Four big men in black walked out of the room behind him and followed the Taoist downstairs.

This is Xu Yan. He adjusted his breath overnight and refined some of the medicinal power of the Spiritual Blood Pill. At this moment, he has completely stabilized the first level of the Qi Sea. According to his estimation, if he refines all the medicinal power in his body, it is possible to break through to the Qi Sea. triple! Xu Yan's heart became clear and clear, and he wished he could roar loudly. He had completely stabilized his state, and his control over the spiritual energy was now as good as his own.

After leaving the inn, I looked at the busy people on the street and breathed in the fresh air after the rain. There were still a few puddles of water on the stone pavement under my feet.

A young and handsome Taoist, followed by several sturdy men, walked towards the city gate. Most people would be stunned when they saw Xu Yan, and then step aside with a little respect. Because the status of Taoist priests is very high, the great masters in Ying Dynasty are all new disciples sent by major Xuanmen or Taoist temples. These people are all members of Taoism. Because of their status as Taoist priests, many people get Taoist robes and start doing rituals to make money. You can tell at a glance that Xu Yan's robe is made of high-quality fabric. It costs more than ten taels of silver, which most people cannot afford.

Xu Yan was walking on the street, and he didn't realize that the surroundings were already lively, and the sounds of various sales were endless. It turned out that today was actually a small market. Xu Yan watched the children running around holding candied haws. The mother counted out a small amount of money from the handkerchief in order to buy a noodle for her child. The vendors' melons and fruits were placed on the ground, and several government servants took them out. They were picking up melons and fruits, and there were acrobatic performances, and the crowd cheered from time to time.

All sentient beings are so integrated into life, so real, but I don’t even know where I am.

Xu Yan sighed in his heart, he could never be the royal Xu Yan in Xu Realm again, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.

…

Although Ancient Qingcheng is a mortal city, it is also a city that has been glorious for thousands of years. It is majestic, tall and majestic. Due to the influence of the giant mountain, martial arts are extremely popular within a million miles. In addition to those who are accepted as disciples by the giant mountain cultivator or are brought into the city, there are also many martial arts sects in other parts of the county. Countless martial arts sects are attached to those who are above them. There are scattered cultivators and small cultivating families, and crude cultivating techniques are spread from the giant mountain from time to time. However, due to the strict requirements of spiritual roots, few people have this opportunity.

Outside the city wall, which is forty feet high and made of huge bluestones, the city gate is wide open, and teams of silver-armored soldiers conduct routine inspections from time to time. The soldiers have resolute faces, steady steps, and the fine steel on their bodies. The forged scimitar and the shining silver armor all showed that this was an elite soldier.

It was just around midnight, and the sky was a little dark blue. The city gate was opened at midnight every day. By this time, there were already a lot of people coming in and out. Standing at the city gate and looking across the wide moat, we could see the vastness because the city base was high. Countless early-rising farmers are working in the fields, and countless villages are gradually waking up as if they have just slept.

The cold air in the early morning blew on the body with the cool breeze, making the soldiers couldn't help but tighten their cotton armor.

A silver-armored soldier breathed a cold mist, looked at a carriage passing by the city gate on the drawbridge, and stepped forward to conduct a routine interrogation. As I got closer, I saw that several of the riders beside the carriage were dressed as guards. One person in the middle had bulging temples and eyes like hawks. The silver-armored soldier was shocked when he saw the appearance of the person who came. He also saw that Deacon Wang looked impatient and did not dare to think too much. He smiled flatteringly and said politely: "Master Wang, what are you..."

This person was none other than Deacon Wang. Deacon Wang didn't even look at him. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't meddle in matters that shouldn't be taken care of." After saying that, he immediately entered the city first. Several guards next to him also had serious expressions and ignored him. These soldiers escorted the carriage into the city on the left and right.

"What is Deacon Wang doing with his people? Seeing that he and his men are wearing new clothes, and their expressions are abnormal, do you want to report it to the city guard?" The silver-armored soldier who had been touched looked at his companion with a strange expression. road.

"Don't meddle in other people's business. I really think my life is too long. Mr. Wang is about to be promoted to martial arts innate and take charge of the power of guarding the city. He is an important figure in Zhang Chengshou's group. Although the city guard asked us to pay attention to unusual people in private, these two The disputes between the factions are none of our Guards Army’s business.”

"When I advance to the level of martial arts genius, I must look good to him! Humph."

"Stop daydreaming, Deacon Wang can crush you with one hand, hahaha."

"The days are long... maybe I can also be promoted to a martial arts genius."

"You two, why don't you go on patrol! What are you secretly discussing there?" A silver-armored soldier with a handsome leader came over and interrupted the two men's lust, looking quite unhappy.

"Yes, sir!"

Sitting in the slightly bumpy carriage, Qiu Shui, who had changed her clothes, had already closed her eyes and fell asleep. She probably didn't get enough sleep because she got up early and was on the road. The girl surnamed Zhang next to her touched Qiu Shui's hair affectionately and said to herself: "This girl can really sleep, and she wants me to wait on her. I really don't know who is the lady and who is the maid." After that, she picked up a suit. The fur robe was draped over Qiu Shui's body to prevent him from being frozen by the cold morning air.

The girl held her chin with her hands, but there was some gloom in her beautiful eyes. She thought that because of her negligence, several people were killed, and that Zheng's head was torn off and his arm was broken. She felt guilty for a while, but also felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Wang There is nothing wrong with my uncle, otherwise I should feel guilty to death.

That devil-like man saved him with good intentions, but he couldn't help but snatch the elixir. He was indeed ungrateful. A look of anger appeared on the girl's face. She took out a small jade box from her arms and rubbed it gently. Fortunately, the real elixir was not lost, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain it to her father.

The carriage passed through the streets and stopped in front of a luxurious mansion. The plaque in front of the door read 'Zhang Mansion'. Deacon Wang opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the sleeping girl leaning against Qiu Shui, and said respectfully: "Miss, we're home, come down."

The doorman and handyman at the door came forward and hurriedly helped lead the carriage to the backyard. The girl woke up Qiu Shui, pulled the dazed girl, and entered the Zhang Mansion surrounded by servants.

In the alley in front of the Zhang Mansion, several pairs of eyes were watching every move at the door. One of them whispered: "Go and report to the city guard. Deacon Wang has picked up Miss Zhang." "Yes."

The smell of high-quality sandalwood permeated the entire study. In front of the simple wooden desk, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back. This man had a cold face and showed no anger. At this moment, his face was heavy and he kept pacing back and forth in the room. Suddenly, the middle-aged man shook his head and let out an inaudible sigh.

This person is none other than Zhang Shouyuan, a high-ranking and powerful person in ancient Qingcheng, Zhang Deputy City Shou, who is also an acquired master.

Deacon Wang had already reported to him what happened on the way back and learned that the real elixir was not lost and their people were not injured. Zhang Shouyuan did not blame him. They just sent some people to investigate the mysterious man who was suspected to be a great martial arts master, that is, Xu Yan. The Zhentian Escort Bureau has already sent some silver and sent people to visit.

What bothered him at the moment was not this matter, but the fact that the great Martial Arts Innate Enshrined Man from Jushan had promised him to support him in becoming the city guard, and to teach him some tips and experiences on how to become a Martial Arts Innate. This temptation could be described as a temptation. It was very big, and of course the price paid made deputy city guard Zhang frown.

Originally, my plan was to offer the mysterious mysterious pill [Spirit-Gathering Mysterious Pill] left over from ancient times, but that was not the intention of the offering. It could also be said that they did not know the goods. What the worshiper wanted was his daughter, the kind and pretty girl, Zhang Yunling.

The door of the study room was pushed open with a creak, and a girl in green clothes walked in. Her usually fair complexion was slightly red, and she walked lightly, like a green lotus emerging from the dust.

"Dad, my daughter almost couldn't see you." Zhang Yunling curled her lips and almost shed tears. Her big red eyes were dim and full of grievances and attachments.

"Ling'er is fine. Dad is here. Dad will help you vent your anger." Zhang Shouyuan hugged his daughter, but there was sadness in his eyes. He had coaxed and protected his daughter since she was a child and had never lost his temper with her. At this time, for himself For his great cause, he had to sacrifice her. Besides, the enshrined man was also a handsome man, so it was not an injustice to Lingruo.

"Ling'er, there's something I need your help with." The sadness in Zhang Shouyuan's eyes became more and more obvious, and Zhang Yun broke away.

Ling said cheerfully: "Dad, if something makes you sad, my daughter will help you to share your worries." After saying this, she stroked her father's hair with a pair of white and slender hands and smoothed the strands of her father's hair.

…

It was around nine o'clock in the morning again, and the tall city gate of the outer city of Jushan rumbled open. Several soldiers in silver armor who were breathing in the cold worked together to push the door open. There was a look of sleepiness on their faces, probably because they were tired from being on duty all night.

"I lost another twenty taels of silver. I won't play even if I'm beaten to death next time." A short soldier muttered and kicked the giant door, venting his dissatisfaction with losing money overnight. Several other soldiers were also waiting for their shift with sleepy eyes. After hearing this, they looked at each other tacitly and smiled sinisterly at the corners of their mouths.

There was a burst of neat footsteps in the streets of the city. Several people looked in and saw several silver-armored soldiers running towards them. They were dressed in the same style as them. The leader was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He came running quickly with a few soldiers. When he saw the short soldier feeling sorry for himself, he couldn't help but get angry and scolded you: "I told you not to gamble with them, but you just didn't listen. You can play How many of them are there? You are so incompetent that you have forgotten what your sister told you?"

The short soldier seemed to be afraid of the young man with thick eyebrows. He lowered his head and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I will definitely not play again next time." The young man with thick eyebrows ignored him and glared at the soldiers who were watching the night. People feel guilty and dare not look at him.

The young man sighed, shook his head and said, "Get out of here, I'm going to take over." After saying this, several people behind him pulled out their spears and stood in front of them, giving off a military chill. The few soldiers who stayed up late to gamble packed up their armor and left in dejection.

The father of the young man with thick eyebrows is the commander of the Guards Army. He is still quite majestic here. The short soldier did not leave. He stood there without knowing where to put his hands. With a flattering smile on his face, he said carefully: "Brother-in-law, there is something. If I need your help, I’m going to start a big business, and I’ll definitely make money this time.”

The young man with thick eyebrows glanced at his useless brother-in-law, with some disdain and disgust in his eyes. He also thought that his beloved wife had been dependent on him since childhood, and this was the only relative left. His expression softened and he said, "When have you ever made money? Every time. If you waste all the money I gave you, you can't do anything serious, so your sister and I can find you a good wife." After saying this, it was a little strange. In the past, every time he lost money, this guy would cry and scream. Today he seemed indifferent.

The short soldier ignored the disdainful looks from the soldiers behind the young man, walked up to his brother-in-law, patted the frost on his armor, and said with a smile: "Isn't Deputy City Shou Zhang's daughter going to be married off to the newly hired martial arts congenital priest?" Well, a gambling friend of mine used to work as a handyman for the great priest of martial arts. This time, he stepped on the shit that fell from the sky and bought wedding supplies under the orders of the great priest. Brother-in-law, don’t you have a side business in this area? ? That martial arts innate great priest is generous, if you place this order, you will definitely make a lot of money."

The thick-browed young man was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of several people coming six or seven feet in front of the city gate from the corner of his eye. The face of the first person could not be seen clearly, and there were four black shadows following him. In the blink of an eye, he realized that the five people were already in front of him. The young man with thick eyebrows was startled, and ignored the brother-in-law. He waved his hand and raised his spear and said, "Wait a minute for those who are coming!" Several trusted soldiers behind him also reacted quickly, drawing out their spears and holding them in front of them, their eyes bright.

The first person stopped, and the four people behind him all stopped. The young man with thick eyebrows saw that the leader was a young Taoist priest, and immediately said loudly: "This Taoist priest, please walk slowly. The day before yesterday, there were thugs dressed as Taoist priests who killed innocent people for money and death. Please check with the city gate portrait for a moment before inviting you in."

The handsome Taoist priest smiled but said nothing. After the soldier completed the verification, the young Taoist waved his sleeves slightly and said with a smile: "As mentioned by the military lords just now, is Deputy City Guard Zhang's daughter always wearing green clothes and she just returned not long ago?"

Just as the short soldier was about to speak, he was glared hard by the thick-browed young man and swallowed what he wanted to say. The young man with thick eyebrows pondered for a while, then carefully looked at the four big men in black behind the Taoist, and said, "Don't be offended by the Taoist priest's abruptness just now. The daughter of Deputy City Guard Zhang has been living in the outer city. I really don't know much about the recent situation."

The young Taoist touched his palms slightly, and although there was a slight smile on his lips, there was a green vortex running wildly in his eyes, and there was a trace of violence constantly surrounding him in the depths. This young Taoist was none other than Xu Yan.

Xu Yan suppressed the urge to take action that was tumbling deep in his heart from time to time, and walked straight into the city. The young man with thick eyebrows looked at the backs of Xu Yan and the others, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He waved his hands irritably and said, "Hurry up and go on duty. If you find anyone who is lazy, I can't spare him!" "Yes!" He said. The short soldier climbed onto the nineteen-foot-high city gate tower. The two of them whispered from time to time, continuing the unfinished topic and showing a smile from time to time.

…

Although the Castle Guards Palace is called a palace, it is actually a small palace complex. Behind the palace complex is a tall green tower. Xu Yan squinted at the high tower. Because it was too far away, he couldn't feel if there were monks who had entered the Qi Sea Realm like him. However, he intuitively felt that this tower was dangerous. This danger was not It's a strange feeling not coming from a person, but from a building.

Xu Yan hated this dangerous feeling, and thought to himself, I am now in the first level of Qi Sea, and I am just as different from those ordinary people as clouds and mud. What do I have to care about? This is just a city of mortals, who else? Can stop me. Thinking of this, he used his spiritual energy to protect himself, took out a light blue talisman from his sleeve, and attached it to the inside of his calf robe without hesitation. He tapped his toes lightly on the ground, as if the wind was blowing under his feet, and he leaped directly from the street outside the palace complex to a small hall. On the corner of the eaves, he continued to leap lightly, and in a few moments he arrived at the square in front of the largest palace in the center like a man from outside the world. Xu Yan did not let the few corpses follow him, he had another purpose.

The people on the street were talking as if they had seen a ghost. "This Taoist priest actually flew directly into the city guard's mansion. What does he want to do?" "Look at this movement, it seems that he is a newly hired top-notch priest from the city guard's mansion!"

There are two rows of silver-armored soldiers guarding the square. The military appearance is very strict. At first glance, they look like elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. The leader of the silver-armored soldiers saw a green figure leap directly into the square from the outer small hall, and thought he had seen it wrong. When he took a closer look, he was a young Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, and he couldn't help but be startled.

When he saw the Taoist priest entering the square, he closed his eyes and became angry. Seeing that the Taoist priest was different from ordinary people, he did not dare to take action directly, so he sent dozens of silver-armored soldiers to step forward. He shouted loudly and asked: "Who are you! How dare you break into the city guard's house without notification. What crime should you be punished for!"

Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the silver-armored leader, and said with a smile: "I heard that the city guard died of illness, and several deputy city guards were vying for the position of the city guard. As expected, the square was heavily guarded. But I am a poor man. I’m not interested in this, so I’ll give you a moment to burn the incense, and I want to see Deputy City Shou Zhang.”

The leader glanced at Xu Yan with a scornful look and snorted coldly: "There are countless people from all walks of life who visit Deputy City Shou Zhang every day. You can see Deputy City Shou Zhang whenever you want? I haven't punished you for trespassing yet." crime!"

Xu Yan lowered his eyes, and seemed to sigh softly, saying: "I don't want to start killing people, so why can't you just do what I said?"

"Haha, there must be something wrong with this Taoist priest. It doesn't look like it." "The psychotic Taoist priest, I don't know where he learned the three-legged cat climbing over the wall technique, but he is screaming to see the city guard. It's inexplicable!" Those silver-armored soldiers couldn't help hearing this. Laughing loudly and pointing, the silver-armored leader also looked at Xu Yan as if he were an idiot.

Corpses were everywhere, pieces of internal organs and meat were scattered. The bright red blood seeped into the floor in the square. Human intestines, broken arms, and blood foam were spread all over the ground. There were also cracked armors on top of the blood and minced meat. These were all evident. Remembering the killing that just happened here.

In the center of the square, a young Taoist priest wearing a blue robe sat on the ground with his eyes slightly closed. The robe was clean and spotless, as if he had never participated in this brutal killing.

The door of the big palace was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and several middle-aged men walked out. One of them was Zhang Yunling's father, Zhang Shouyuan. When several people saw the scene in the square, they didn't react for a while, but they were all thoughtful people. After thinking about it for a while, they figured out the whole story, and instantly realized the terrifying strength of this Taoist priest. A white-faced middle-aged man said anxiously: "This person broke into the city guard's mansion without permission and killed the city guards. Regardless of his purpose, it seems that this person is an innate martial arts master!? We are not opponents. We must stabilize this place at this moment." people!"

Zhang Shouyuan, who was walking in the middle among those people, frowned slightly when he heard this, and a cold light shone in his eyes. He suddenly released an aura worthy of being exposed to the innate realm of martial arts. He looked at the young Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged and said, "This little Taoist priest, Why do you want to commit such a crime in our ancient Qingcheng garrison? Even if the soldiers below have offended the Taoist priest, they can definitely apologize, but the Taoist priest’s killing is too cruel and ruthless, right??”

Several middle-aged people behind him also pushed forward, and the white-faced middle-aged man said even more sternly: "Although the Taoist Master is an innate master of martial arts, please don't bully me into a huge mountain with no one!" After saying this, he secretly turned to Hui behind him. The middle-aged man in gray clothes glanced at him, and the middle-aged man in gray clothes understood in his mind, and with a few leaps he headed towards the Martial Arts Innate Enshrinement Tower.

I saw the handsome Taoist standing up slowly, his eyes slightly raised, but I felt that his eyes were like cold stars, and there was an endless coldness in them. The man's face was expressionless, and he glanced at the few people with cold eyes. His eyes were fixed on Zhang Shouyuan, and he opened his thin lips and said, "Which one is Deputy City Shou Zhang?"

Seeing that he was so indifferent and calm, Zhang Shouyuan and others did not dare to act rashly. There were pieces of blood and meat on the ground, and the fishy smell filled the air, which made people feel sick. Zhang Shouyuan was also brave. Facing an enemy who might be an innate master of martial arts, he remained calm and said slowly: "I, Zhang, am the deputy city guard of Jushan. Is it possible that this time you forced yourself to kill someone?" Come here for Zhang? Zhang asked himself that nothing can attract a great innate martial arts master."

The young Taoist, Xu Yan, suddenly smiled like ice and snow. The slight smile made the young man in the scene even more attractive. His white teeth reflected his vermilion lips. If it weren't for the Taoist robe on his body, he might have He was mistaken for a handsome young man from a high-ranking family.

Xu Yan chuckled lightly and released his profound energy slightly. The spiritual pressure of the first level of the Qi Sea slightly suppressed the people opposite him. When he saw the faces of several people changed drastically, he smiled and said: "I am here to ask for something from Master Zhang. "

Zhang Shouyuan felt that he was under heavy pressure and secretly cried out in his heart. The strength of this enemy is unpredictable. He can actually press our bodies through the air. What kind of magic is this! Why haven't those offerings come yet? It's really not a good job to delay. But he was an old fox with a cunning mind. He forced a smile and said, "What do you want from the Master? We are naturally willing to give it to the Master and form a good relationship with him. Those city guards must have offended the Taoist." Chief, you deserve to die, you deserve to die."

"Yes, these soldiers are ignorant and deserve to offend the Taoist priest!" The white-faced middle-aged man also changed his attitude and said slightly flatteringly.

Xu Yan took back the increasingly familiar spiritual energy he controlled and released it. Seeing that several people finally stood up straight, he looked at Zhang Shouyuan and said, "Miss Ling must have just returned home a few days ago. I wonder if the legendary real spirit-gathering Xuan Can you take out the pill for Xu to observe?"

What he said was ambiguous, and others might not understand it, but how could Zhang Shouyuan not understand it? Zhang Shouyuan's body was shaken, and it was indeed because of this. As early as a few days ago, I heard Deacon Wang report that escorting Xiao

�Someone robbed the fake elixir on the way back, but the real elixir was not lost, and now it came to my door as expected.
