late at night.
On the vast and cold Qinghu Lake, a boat breaks through the waves like an arrow leaving the string.
On this boat, a middle-aged man wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and loose hair, but his body burst out with innate true essence light, slapping the lake water, causing the boat to move forward quickly. And on this ship, there was another person, wearing a blue robe with black stripes, and carrying a long sword on his back.
Silver hair, handsome as a boy!
It was Zhao Danchen! There is also a majestic black nightmare horse beside him.
moment-
The ship arrives ashore.
"Elder Zhao." The boatman was dressed in shabby clothes and had an ordinary face, but his voice was deep and deep, "This time you go to kill Teng Qingshan... I obey the order of my ancestors and cannot go with you. But Elder Zhao, please I must be able to capture Teng Qingshan alive, and not torture him severely, torture him to death... I can't get rid of this bad breath in my heart."
The boatman's gaze was like that of a vicious lion.
"Gu Yong, if Teng Qingshan can be captured alive, I will definitely capture him alive. If not, I will kill him." Zhao Danchen nodded, "But Gu Yong, the master made you a boatman to hone your character. You want to kill him Then hurry up, no one blames you. However, if you cannot calm down and practice because of this hatred in your heart, it would be a big mistake."
"I know!"
The boatman said in a low voice, "I understand the truth, but it's too difficult to do it. I have always tried to make Qinghu Island stronger, but I... became a sinner of Qinghu Island! I am a sinner! And my son Shiyou, he is dead, and the soldiers of the Wanyin Flood Dragon Army are all dead, all dead!"
"In that case, this time, I will kill Teng Qingshan."
Zhao Danchen sighed, "Gu Yong, your aptitude is the highest among the disciples of my generation in Qinghu Island, and your master is already old! Up to now, there has not been a second Void Realm expert born on Qinghu Island. On the day of the ancestor's death, if there is no Void Realm expert born on Qinghu Island, it will be the most terrible crisis!"
The death of more than half of the innate powerhouses is not as dangerous as that of the non-virtual realm powerhouses.
It must be passed on from generation to generation, and there must be a strong person in the virtual realm in the sect.
"Master Ancestor asked you to go to Jianren Mountain to practice swords and personally guide you. It is you who have placed great hopes on you. As long as you reach the Void Realm! You are the hero of my Qinghu Island! The biggest hero! Future generations of disciples will never Forget about you." Zhao Danchen said solemnly.
The boatman was silent, but his eyes were bright.
A Void Realm expert can only be five hundred years old! It is enough to ensure the prosperity of a sect for three or four hundred years.
As long as there are three or four Void Realm powerhouses in history, a sect can be strong for thousands of years. Ordinarily, many disciples are bricks and tiles, the innate powerhouses are the pillars, and the virtual realm powerhouses are the foundations that support the entire building! There is no strong man in the virtual world, everything is a castle in the air!
"call!"
Zhao Danchen rode on the black nightmare horse, clamped the horse's belly, the black nightmare horse immediately neighed, and there was a black light in the eyes.
call out!
The whole horse instantly turned into a black afterimage and disappeared at the end of the road.
"Mindfulness..." The boatman stood at the bow of the boat. He heard that although Zhao Danchen had broken his right arm, which he used to use with his sword, and his left hand's sword strength had dropped sharply, this blow made Zhao Danchen realize something. In just over a month, Zhao Danchen actually created a left-handed sword based on the original sword technique.
Although the time is short, even if it can't be compared with before, but the top 20 of "Tian Bang" is sure.
"The master wanted to break through, destroyed his own eyes, sat on the sword edge mountain every day, and finally achieved incredible and terrifying strength. Elder Zhao also broke his right arm, but made a breakthrough." The boatman murmured softly, and after being disabled, he There are stronger people! But after all, they are very, very few!
Most of the crippled, or even 'almost all' crippled, cannot restore their strength to what it was before.
"Virtual Realm..."
The boatman murmured, while shaking the oars, the boat rowed slowly towards Qinghu Island.
*****
Late at night, Wucheng, Yuzhou.
In the inn where Teng Qingshan lived, in the backyard room of a restaurant across the street, there was a faint candlelight on one of the windows.
inside the house.
The three of them were all dressed in white furs, one of them was a thin silver-haired old man, a tall and strong man, and a young woman with a pretty face. The three of them were sitting around the table, on which there were some gourmet delicacies, snacks, etc. There was also a wine jug in front of the three of them, and they poured and drank by themselves.
"People from Qinghu Island, when do you think they will do it?" the young woman asked.
"Qinghu Island's innate golden core should arrive before dawn." The thick man said in a low voice, "However, they will never rest assured of our manpower. Therefore, they will immediately send Qinghu Island to station troops in the counties around Wucheng. Even with the fastest speed of carrier pigeons, plus the stationed troops, there are no three major horses. To rush over, it will be dawn. Therefore, it is estimated that we will start tomorrow during the day."
The thin old man lowered his eyes and ate a piece of pastry: "They will probably prepare it tomorrow morning, tomorrow at noon or afternoon, they will do it!"
"It seems that we have to wait another day." The young woman said helplessly, "Actually, what's the big deal if we kill Teng Qingshan directly?"
"It's not good to spread the word, our Yuhuangmen has become the sword of Qinghu Island!" The skinny old man sighed, "Although Teng Qingshan said that he would withdraw from Guiyuanzong, everyone knows the truth. Teng Qingshan did it to protect Guiyuanzong. That's what you did! Gui Yuanzong probably thinks Teng Qingshan more seriously. Don't forget, Gui Yuanzong also has a Void Realm expert, although we don't care... But since there is no need to offend, why bother?"
"Our Yuhuang sect has the longest history among the eight major sects! It has not only been able to stand upright, it is not just relying on force."
The other two also nodded in acknowledgment.
Force is important, but so is sectarian behavior. Yuhuangmen, who on the land of Kyushu would dare to look down on them? Even the Mani Temple is afraid of this unfathomable Emperor Yu's Gate.
But Yuhuang's family is not arrogant in dealing with things, and rarely offends others. But if someone dares to provoke them, they will execute the opponent without mercy.
The so-called not long-lasting, if it is always too arrogant, no matter how powerful the sect is, it is impossible to exist for too long. Even the Mani Temple is located in the two western states, and rarely leaves those two states. Just doesn't last long, soft outside and inside is king just now!
"And the Sect Master's method, isn't it better? We let the people from Qinghu Island kill Teng Qingshan, and then we take away the Mountain-Creating God Axe! The Mountain-Creating God Ax was originally a close-fitting possession of Patriarch Yu, and we took advantage of it." Thin The old man said with a smile, "Just being right is powerful! When the time comes, on Qinghu Island, how dare you be greedy for ink and open the mountain's axe?"
…
The people from Yuhuangmen have already set up a net, just waiting for the people from Qinghu Island to do it. But Teng Qingshan didn't know at all at the moment.
The night is long, in the inn.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Teng Qingshan walked down the stairs step by step, and Xiao Erlian, who was standing at the counter on guard at night, greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"
"Bring me a jug of wine, burn the wine and put it on the account." Teng Qingshan ordered.
"Okay, guest officer." The waiter immediately took out a pot of shochu.
Although Teng Qingshan went downstairs, Teng Qingshan was not worried about the boxes and suitcases that could be placed in the room. Because Teng Qingshan set up a small trap in the cargo box and suitcase, once the box is opened, the bell inside the box will ring. As long as there is a sound, as long as they are in the inn, Teng Qingshan can easily find it with his keen six senses.
Carrying a jug of wine, Teng Qingshan went upstairs again and returned to his own room.
"Squeak!" The door closed.
There was no light in the room, it was dark and a little cold. Teng Qingshan walked to the window with the flagon in his hand, and opened the window directly.
"Huh!" Teng Qingshan didn't seem to notice the cold wind blowing on his body, and sat directly on the window, leaning his back against the window wall a little lazily, with one foot resting on the window.
"The New Year's Eve is coming soon! Father, Mother..."
During the festive season, Teng Qingshan misses his relatives a lot, and the New Year's Day is approaching. There are his parents, his sister, his master, his good brothers, and many others in Yangzhou. tribe people. It's a pity that he can't be with them now, he can only be alone in a small city 'Wucheng' in Yuzhou.
"Xiaoyu and Xiaoyun are probably getting married soon." Teng Qingshan showed a smile on his face.
"After they get married and have children, the parents will be able to take care of the children, and they will be very happy."
Teng Qingshan imagined, "The people of the tribe are already in Jiangning County, the master will take care of them. I also gave my grandfather 'Zhu Guojiu' and one hundred thousand taels of gold tickets, enough to make the people of the tribe happy. It's time. It's the New Year's Eve... the six-year-old children in the clan will be tested again. I don't know, among the six-year-old children this year, how heavy is the heaviest lift?"
Scenes of the past came to mind.
In Tengjiazhuang, there were those who lifted a hundred catties of stone pier at the age of six, and some who led the hunter team to get the prey and were cheered by the tribe when they came back... There were also those who were threatened by the Tieshan Gang and secretly frightened the second leader of the Tieshan Gang , let it recede automatically...
Those scenes were very warm.
"When I am successful, I will be willing to stay in the clan. Or stay in the Guiyuan Sect and teach the younger generation." Teng Qingshan said silently.
"However, it's too far away. It's too far away from me now."
A face appeared in Teng Qingshan's mind involuntarily.
"Qingqing."
Teng Qingshan felt a sharp pain in his heart, that was a pure girl without impurities, like a banished fairy.
"kitten."
That strong, cold female killer who traveled the world with him would only show the gentle woman in his arms, the woman he loved all his life.
"Qingqing, kitten..." These two women, he wanted to spend his whole life with them.
And they are all dead!
"Perhaps, I shouldn't be talking about love." Teng Qingshan raised his head and poured the spirits from the jug into his mouth. The Huoshao wine entered his throat like a fire dragon, and immediately made his whole chest burn.
Cold night!
Hot wine!
And that lonely heart.
Scenes of kitten and Qingqing emerged in my mind, some scenes of experiencing life and death with kitten again and again, and some warm scenes such as ferrying with Qingqing at night. Teng Qingshan also kept drinking, and at some point, the jug was empty.
Teng Qingshan closed the window, returned to the house, and put the jug on the table.
"Just now, I was decadent for a while!" Teng Qingshan took a deep breath, his eyes were deep, "I shouldn't be decadent now, and I have no right to waste time in decadence! I have to go back, back to Yangzhou, back to Jiangning! I have absolute strength Only then can we go back in an open and honest manner!"
When he was in the caravan, Teng Qingshan could smile all over his face, and he could tell jokes and dirty jokes with others, he seemed very forthright. Because Teng Qingshan is a wolf in essence, no matter how injured he is, he doesn't need to show his sadness to others, he will lick the wound alone.
He will also be angry, and once he really goes crazy, he will risk his life and kill the enemy at all costs.
When the difference in strength is too great, he will endure it, endure it until the strength is stronger, and then give the enemy a hard blow.
This is the wolf.
"The best way to get rid of decadence, sadness, and worry is to keep yourself busy, so that you don't have time to think." Teng Qingshan closed his eyes and muttered, starting to calm his mind.
this night...
Teng Qingshan spent time practicing the three-body posture and meditation.
