"That boy is Qingqiao, right?" Mu Xiyuan asked with a sip of wine.
"Yeah, looking at his face, he is a few years younger than he is now." Tan Shen took a sip of the wine and poured himself another glass.
"What is the taste of the Jiaojiao that senior said?"
Tan Shen likes to talk with Mu Xiyun very much, and the other party is really a good listener. He never interrupted when others were speaking, and when the other party paused, he would ask questions thoughtfully and lead them to continue. Best of all, he understands exactly why you stopped, and the questions he asks are brilliant, right to the point where the storyteller wants to whet his appetite. Then his question went on, with more fluidity and excitement.
Tan Shen touched his chin with a smile and said, "There are not many Jiao clan, and I know all of them. Although there are also Jiaomen living in seclusion in the Central Plains, there is no such young man in my memory. I became interested at that time."
"This son, the snow is heavy, how about coming in for a drink?" Tan Shen asked loudly.
Gu Qingqiao raised his eyes to look at him, his sharp eyes swept over, but a smile appeared in his eyes. "Okay, it's really cold today!"
The two entered the tavern again. The owner couple has cleaned the lobby. The boss took out his own good wine, and the lady boss cooked some good dishes. The two sat in the warm tavern, drinking and talking.
In the past few years, Gu Qingqiao traveled all over the Central Plains, and he could easily come across the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, as well as worldly interesting things, and Tan Shen liked wines from all over the world. And Tan Shen was born in the East China Sea. In the hearts of people in the Central Plains, it is a mysterious world, and the interesting and secret stories in it also opened Gu Qingqiao's eyes.
In the evening, the guests are full of wine and food. Gu Qingqiao thanked Tan Shen, and walked into the wind and snow again. Tan Shen quietly followed behind.
Gu Qingqiao did not go to find a resting inn, but walked to the barren mountains outside the town. Not long after leaving the town, in a small forest, someone blocked the way. It was the five people who suffered a loss in the afternoon, but at this time the number of people became six.
The newly added man is tall and big, two heads taller than ordinary people, and his body is half the width of the strong man next to him, and he really looks like a bear.
When Gu Qingqiao saw this person, his eyes lit up.
No one said much in the wind and snow, and rushed forward to fight. The five of them only suffered a loss in the afternoon, so naturally they did not dare to rush ahead, and only let the big man take the lead.
The big man's martial arts are not very delicate, but he is quite difficult to deal with because of his rough skin and strong strength.
Gu Qingqiao was not afraid, but he didn't use much energy when fighting with him, and only concentrated on finding the five defeated men in the gap, knocking them to the ground again and again with one hand.
Relieved of his worries, Gu Qingqiao no longer dodged, and the two knives flashed in his hands. The machete and the blizzard slashed at the throat of the big man.
The big man dodged and stepped back, narrowly avoiding the blade, but his neck and neck was injured by the blade, and blood was flowing.
The big man roared in pain, and changed in the snow. I saw his body doubled in size again, with long hair growing on his body, elongated nose and mouth, and it turned out to be a bear demon.
Gu Qingqiao said with a smile: "Don't know grandpa? You ran away at Yinlong Villa last time, but now you come to your door!"
Tan Shen, who was hidden behind the tree, heard the words "Hidden Dragon Villa", and his heart moved.
There is no suspense in the battle. Even if he returns to his original body, the bear demon still can't defeat Gu Qingqiao. After a fight, the bear demon was cut off by a machete.
Gu Qingqiao skillfully opened the chest of the bear demon and took out the demon pill. Use the snow on the roadside to wash off the blood on it and put it in the Qiankun bag.
After everything was done, he said leisurely, "Brother Tan followed me all the way, but what else is there?"
Tan Shen stepped out from behind the tree and said with a smile: "Old brother is very good. I'm just curious..."
"What are you curious about?" Gu Qingqiao asked.
Tan Shen didn't answer, he took a staggered step and attacked him with a wave of his palm.
The Jiao clan are born demigods. If they release their coercion, Gu Qingqiao will not be able to last for a few breaths of time, but Tan Shen intends to test it, and does not fully reveal his cultivation. He simply attacks with moves.
Between the rabbits and the birds, the two have fought hundreds of moves. In the grove, the branches are scattered everywhere, the snow powder splashes, and the violent sound is frequent when the energy strikes. When the fight started, Tan Shen shook out a long whip from his waist and rolled it towards Gu Qingqiao's machete.
The machete is different from the Central Plains long sword. Even if it is cut straight, it will draw a beautiful arc. When it is used in the hands of Gu Qingqiao, the trace is even more erratic and strange. Although the long whip takes advantage of the length, it is very Surprisingly lost to Scimitar. In the end, Tan Shen's whip tip was cut off by a machete, and Gu Qingqiao's machete was shot down by Tan Shen.
Tan Shen laughed, and suddenly gave up his whip to release coercion. The terrifying coercion of an almost real dragon attacked Gu Qingqiao like a heavy mountain.
But as soon as the coercion was released, it was withdrawn, and Tan Shen Shi Shiran turned into a rich and noble son.
Gu Qingqiao put his hands on his chest, forcibly suppressing the churning of qi and blood in his body, but he was not afraid, and laughed loudly: "What a powerful coercion, so your cultivation base is so high."
"Oh, do you think it's unfair?" Tan Shen raised his eyebrows.
"Your skills are not as good as others, what's not fair? Your realm is not for nothing." Gu Qingqiao smiled: "Master, you won't come against me for no reason, why don't you talk about it? ?"
Hearing this, Tan Shen thought to himself: "Jiao was born with a level above the human race's Nascent Soul, so it's really worth it." It was hard to say these words, so he could only continue to pretend to be profound.
He originally suspected that Gu Qingqiao was a teenager from the Jiao clan, but the pressure was released just now, and the other party really only had the realm of golden core, so there was only one possibility, this young man was carrying a Jiaodan.
Tan Shen probed again: "Just now you said that you have been to Yinlong Villa, and there is a dead giant dragon there, have you ever seen it?"
Gu Qingqiao suddenly smiled, "So that's the case, is that Jiao your family?"
"That Jiao is from my Tan family. If you really talk about it, you have to call me cousin."
"You have a bad relationship with that cousin?" Gu Qingqiao's face was not alert, but a hint of curiosity.
"Hmph, we don't need outsiders to judge our relationship. But you killed him?" Tan said angrily: "But looking at your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to confront him head-on. Are you taking advantage of others' danger?"
Gu Qingqiao smiled and said: "He was seriously injured when I met him, but he wants to eat me, and I can't let him eat for fairness."
"What if I say I want to avenge him?" Tan Shen pretended to be a threat.
Gu Qingqiao glanced at him and said: "If you want to take revenge, now I am a corpse."
Tan Shen laughed out loud, this little friend is really interesting and has an appetite.
"It's funny, one is a demon, and the other makes a living by killing demons, but we can talk very well." Tan Shen smiled at Mu Xiyuan: "Gu Qingqiao killed Tan Li in Yinlong Villa and took Jiao Jiao. Dan, I have been carrying it with me all the time. Only then did I smell a hint of Jiao Dan. He took out the Jiao Dan and wanted to return it to me, but I refused."
"Jiaodan... What's the use? Was the Yaodan you mentioned earlier made from it?" Mu Xiyun asked.
After Tan Shen finished drinking, he tapped the glass with his slender fingers. Hearing the crisp sound of the wine glass, he continued: "Later he told me that after obtaining the Jiaodan, he spent nearly four months in the Central Plains, and obtained more than thirty demon pills, and is preparing to return to his master's gate to return to his life. But when he met me, he tentatively asked me how to fuse the demon pills."
"He... why did he merge the demon pill? It's not like his temperament to use such a dangerous method to improve his skills." Mu Xiyuan was puzzled.
Tan Shen gave him a deep look and said, "He said he wanted to leave the division."
"Leaving the teacher's door?" Mu Xiyun suddenly realized that he didn't know Gu Qingqiao's mind at all before. In the world of Mu Xiyun in the previous life, the teacher's sect was like home, and he saved others by himself, and felt that others were the same as him. He never thought about how Gu Qingqiao lived in the division. Will I be punished by the master? Have you been wronged? Have you ever loved or hated anyone? Mu Xiyuan asked herself, as if she didn't even remember what he liked to eat or play. But now, his serious injury has not healed, and his future is slim...
Thinking of this, Mu Xiyun suddenly panicked, what if he can't see him from now on? He raised his head in panic, looked at Tan Shen but was speechless.
Tan Shen saw Mu Xiyun's face changing, and then he realized that Gu Qingqiao didn't tell this little fairy about many things, but he accidentally revealed a lot of information. He didn't know what Gu Qingqiao was doing, so he could only vaguely comfort him: "Don't worry too much about him, Zhang Jinjin looks unreliable, but his character is always good. If he can't get a suitable pill over there. Hehe, come to me again. Although the demon pill has backlash, if there are me and other doctors from the Jiao clan, there will always be a way to help him get through."
Mu Xiyun nodded and thanked Tan Shen, and was calm.
At this moment, it was bright, and Mu Xiyun got up and said goodbye, remembering that Qin Le was still in the inn.
Tan Shen urged: "I will stay here for a while, and come to me if I have something to do." After speaking, he stopped for a while, and then persuaded: "I don't know what else you have to worry about in the Central Plains, I still say that. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well follow me to the East China Sea."
"Many thanks, senior!" Mu Xiyun bowed in thanks and turned to leave.
Back at the inn, Qin Le had just woken up, and Mu Xiyun only told him that Gu Qingqiao's injury worsened later, and Zhang Jinjin took him to Nanping's house.
Lamenting that he had missed the development of things again, Qin Le almost began to blame himself for why he always slept so solidly, and then he considered whether to practice the profound exercises that can release his soul from his body in the future.
While thinking about it, Qin Le also jumped when he heard that there had been no news from Su Yanjun for three days. The two ate breakfast in a hurry, Qin Le entrusted his donkey to the post station of Jinjin Pavilion, rode the horse of Guqingqiao, and ran to the formation together with Mu Xiyun.
