Night, pitch black!

The night wind was bleak and howled through the entire Wu'an County, and Teng Qingshan was sitting on the second floor of the pavilion. There were no candles on the pavilion, and it was pitch black. And there were two jugs of wine on the table, he drank a glass from time to time, the cold night wind blew his robe, but Teng Qingshan still sat by the table.

In the pitch-black pavilion, Teng Qingshan sat silently.

"Little cat, I never expected to meet a girl who looks so similar to you in this life! I wonder if she will still look like you when she grows up!" Teng Qingshan whispered, "Oh... Originally, I thought that I had almost forgotten you after my past and present lives! But after seeing this little Jun, I realized... your smile, every frown, and even what you said to me, I still remember clearly. This Everything seems to be engraved on my soul, even if I am born again, I still cannot forget it."

A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face.

"Little cat, it seems that you are a man, it is very difficult to find another woman to fall in love with in this life! This is all your fault." Teng Qingshan drank another cup.

That night, Teng Qingshan didn't sleep, and he didn't sit cross-legged to meditate. I just sat alone all night in the airy dark pavilion.

early morning.

Li Jun, dressed in green, galloped in the mansion, looking for Teng Qingshan.

"Miss Xiaojun, you woke up so early." The fat man said with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, what about Brother Teng?" Li Jun asked eagerly.

"Master Commander set off early in the morning and headed for the wilderness." The fat man said with a smile.

"Leaving?" Li Jun was taken aback.

The fat man said again and again: "Master Commander, let Miss Xiaojun live here well, and Lord Commander will help you solve the matter of revenge. And—" As he spoke, the fat man took out a gold ticket from his pocket, "This is a hundred The two gold tickets were given to me by the Commander-in-Chief before leaving, and if Miss Xiaojun wants to buy a house, get married in the future, etc., she can use the gold."

Li Jun looked at the golden ticket and couldn't help the tears in his eyes.

One hundred taels of gold ticket, that is ten thousand taels of silver, enough for normal food, drink, housing and transportation for a lifetime.

"Buy a house, get married..." Li Jun shed tears silently.

Helping Xiaojun once made Teng Qingshan's memory of his previous life more profound. Teng Qingshan's mood became a little depressed. A small city close to the wilderness—Nanman City!

Nanman City is a city about the size of Yicheng.

However, because Nanman City is the closest to Manhuang in Yangzhou, Nanman City is very prosperous. Some warriors who are not afraid of dying to explore the wilderness, and some herb pickers who go to the edge of the wilderness to pick some herbs, all gathered in Nanman City. After all, although the wilderness is dangerous, there are many herbs that are hard to find in other places.

In Nanman City.

"Shopkeeper, prepare a room." Teng Qingshan stepped into the lobby on the first floor of an inn, and ordered, "One more table of wine and food." After saying that, Teng Qingshan chose a seat by the window to sit down.

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" The waiter immediately came over with the menu.

After ordering some food and wine, Teng Qingshan began to eat and drink.

"Little Jun, lost all his relatives, I'm afraid it will take a while to fully recover." Teng Qingshan thought to himself while eating the food. To that Li Jun... Teng Qingshan had no feelings for men and women in his heart, after all Li Jun was a thirteen-year-old girl, younger than his sister Xiao Yu.

As for Teng Qingshan's mental age, I am afraid that he is old enough to be Li Jun's father.

This is just my brother's concern.

"Well, she is in Wu'an County, with Lao Wang taking care of her, so she is not in any danger. She will have to rely on herself in the future." Teng Qingshan understood that he was just a passer-by in Li Jun's life.

call!

A gray-robed middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat strode into the inn, glanced at Teng Qingshan, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Afterwards, the middle-aged man went upstairs directly along the stairs.

In the private room on the third floor, there were sumptuous food and wine on the round table, surrounded by three middle-aged people and two elderly people. All five are gray robes. One of the elders was 'Wei Canglong', the elder of 'Tieyimen' in Chu County, Yangzhou. The five of them were chatting and eating.

boom! boom! boom!

There was a knock on the door, and the five people in the private room fell silent.

"Come in." Wei Canglong said.

After the door was pushed open, the middle-aged man in gray robe walked in. The five people at the wine table breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person coming. This person closed the door of the private room, removed the bamboo hat, and immediately said: "The matter has been settled! But... I just came up from below, and I saw Guiyuan Zong Teng Qingshan on the first floor!"

"Teng Qingshan!" The five of them were a little surprised.

Wei Canglong turned his head to look at the handsome middle-aged man with gray temples, "Brother, then Teng Qingshan, could it be Gui Yuanzong who knows the secret of our Tieyimen?" See Wei Canglong's tone , this handsome middle-aged man turned out to be the leader of this group of people.

"In our Tieyimen, there are very few people who know this secret! Gui Yuanzong is unlikely to know." The handsome middle-aged man shook his head, "It's just that our Tieyimen also got this secret in Xuyang County. Could it be, Guiyuanzong?" Yuanzong also found some clues in Xuyang County?"

The six people in the private room fell silent.

This matter is of great importance.

"Senior Brother." Wei Canglong frowned, "Teng Qingshan is the leader of the Black Armored Army of Gui Yuanzong. Why did he come to Nanman City when he has nothing to do? I can't think of anything else about him. Therefore, I am worried that he is following us secretly. Even , not only him, but also others, we didn't find out."

After saying this, the hearts of all the people present were suspended.

"If we are targeted by them, we will be in trouble."

"Uncle Master, what shall we do?"

Everyone looked at the handsome middle-aged man.

"Don't scare yourself!" The handsome middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If there were other people from Gui Yuanzong, we should have discovered it long ago. But Teng Qingshan is alone... Hmph, if he overestimates himself, he is looking for death. Don't worry about these , let’s finish dinner, rest overnight, and set off into the Wilderness tomorrow morning!”

"yes."

The other five people responded respectfully.

*****

Early in the morning, the six people from Tieyimen quickly left Nanman City in gray robes and bamboo hats, and then entered the wilderness on foot. After all, there are many mountains, forests and valleys in the wilderness, and there is no way to ride a horse in it, you can only rely on two legs. Teng Qingshan left a little later than the six people from Tieyimen.

The sun rises.

Teng Qingshan left the south gate of Nanman City and headed south.

"Wildness... I really don't know how big this wildness is." Yaoyao looked at the endless blackness in the distance, and even in the vague distance, there were steep mountains standing in the clouds. This is wildness! The most dangerous area in the entire Kyushu land.

From 'Yangzhou' in the southeast of Kyushu, 'Yanzhou' in the south, to 'Rongzhou' in the southwest, the south of these three states is wild!

As for the depth, at least it is not recorded in the books.

"On the map of Gui Yuan Zong, it is recorded that the depth is more than two thousand miles. If you go deeper... there is nothing." Teng Qingshan looked down at the map in his hand, and after a little identification of the direction, he put away the map and continued. stride forward.

There are few people in the wilderness, and the withered and fallen leaves on the ground are piled up, and they make noise when walking on them. A big old tree, I don't know how many years it has grown. After only a few hours of walking, Teng Qingshan saw the largest tree, which was three feet wide.

"This is wild, compared with the Amazon in my previous life, I don't know who is bigger!" Teng Qingshan had trained in the Amazon in his previous life, "But most of the Amazon is water. But this is a mountain forest, and it is full of wild beasts, snakes, and insects." , and even monsters, which are much more dangerous!"

The rotten smell of dead branches and leaves permeated the mountain forest, and the big trees covering the sky made the air here very dull.

Teng Qingshan walked briskly, this ancient wilderness was like his own home.

On a dark tree next to it, there is an equally dark poisonous snake entwined, it is staring at the fast-moving human beings—Teng Qingshan!

"Hoo!" The poisonous snake, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, sprang out like a black lightning, biting towards Teng Qingshan.

"call!"

Teng Qingshan's pace didn't change at all, the blood-drinking knife in his hand flashed a red light, the poisonous snake fell from mid-air, the two parts of its body were still twitching and swimming on the ground, its vitality was indeed strong. And Teng Qingshan didn't even look at it, he continued to stride forward, and in the blink of an eye, he went to the distance.

Viper

Teng Qingshan is not afraid of poison at all, and with the sensitivity of his six senses, these poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts cannot escape his detection at all.

Teng Qingshan moved fast, but the six people from Tieyimen walked more slowly. Although they are all masters, even one of them is born strong. But...they didn't dare to underestimate the snakes and insects in the wild.

Especially acquired masters, once bitten, they will be seriously injured even if they don't die!

"Yinjiao Mountain is more than two thousand miles deep. This wilderness is full of mountains, forests and lakes, as well as snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts... It may take us half a month to get there." Wei Canglong and his group held weapons one by one in the wilderness. , Even if you are listed in the "Earth List", you may die if you are bitten by a bug!

Crisis is everywhere!

"Someone is coming!" The handsome middle-aged man shouted with a stern expression.

The other five immediately fell silent.

I saw a figure flashing past quickly in the distance, and even glanced here.

"It's Teng Qingshan!" Wei Canglong's complexion changed.

Several people's faces became ugly.

"This Teng Qingshan is following us..." Another Tieyimen master looked at the handsome middle-aged man, "Uncle Master, that Teng Qingshan is probably really following us! Just after leaving Nanman City, there is a plain that stretches as far as the eye can see. He didn't dare to chase fast, and only when he was in the wilderness did he rush to catch up. If you hadn't noticed the noise just now, we probably wouldn't have found him."

"Maybe by chance..." Someone also said.

The handsome middle-aged man said in a low voice: "I met him last time, and this time I met him again. Maybe it's a coincidence. However, it may also be that he is following us."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or false! Our Tieyimen's secrets cannot be exposed! Once it is revealed and spread... Our Tieyimen will not only fail to prosper, but will bring disaster." The handsome middle-aged man said coldly, "Liu Jian , you follow and kill Teng Qingshan!"
