Sword comes

The straw-shoe boy often goes to Taoye Lane, Fulu Street, to deliver letters to his family these days. Almost every concierge knows this messenger, so it doesn't seem abrupt. Plus, the boy looks at ease, trotting down the bluestone street as usual, even if Pedestrians will not take it seriously.Chen Ping'an was near the door of a house. In front of the door, there was a stone Gandang, which was used to suppress evil and stop evil. It was half a person tall and looked like a military general. Chen Ping'an knew that this was the mansion of the Li family. Every family has different ways of warding off evil spirits. Even the door gods posted on the gates are divided into civil and military, so it is easy to distinguish.

He looked around quickly and continued on his way. Further ahead was the Song family. After the Song family was the kiln supervision and manufacturing office. There was a locust tree growing on the outer wall of the junction of the adjacent mansions of the Li and Song families. The dry twigs and luxuriant foliage, although not comparable to the vicissitudes of the old locust tree in the town, but it is also impressive at first sight.

In the mouths of the older generation, this locust tree and the towering old locust tree in the center of the town are said to be in the same line.

The reason why Chen Ping'an came to Li's house, not Lu Zhengchun's town head surnamed Lu's house, is that when the young man left the government office, the elderly stewards sent him along, deliberately or unintentionally chatting about some parents' shortcoming, what is Zhao on this street? The family's reading seed, Zhao Yao has already left the town, and will be appointed to be the top official of the champion in the future. There is a young lady in the Song family next door, and when she reaches the age of marriage, she can't even be a female celebrity. She only likes to dance with knives and guns. , Where does it look like a daughter of daughters, do you think it's funny or not?The old man was in a lot of trivial fun, mixed with a trivial news, the Li family house just arrived a distinguished guest, the little girl doll looks like a pink and jade, like a piece of royal porcelain. The big eighteen changes must be a handsome and beautiful woman, and I don't know which family will be lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law into the family.

On the way out of the back of the ya office, the young man who didn't listen at first, walked slowly, intentionally or unintentionally, and always carefully observed the building layout of the ya office, and finally occasionally asked one or two digressions, like a pauper. I was curious about the wealth and wealth of the wealthy families, and the elderly stewards knew all about it. Taking the Song family next door and the Li family further away as examples, I told the teenager about the courtyard distribution and various rules of the big families.

The real intention of the steward is well known to the young man.

It's just that Chen Ping'an didn't think about acting according to their wishes from beginning to end.

At this time, slowly trotting forward along the street, Chen Ping'an saw that there was no one around, he suddenly exerted his strength, suddenly accelerated his pace, ran straight to the old locust tree, jumped, and stepped on the trunk one after another. After four steps, there was no sign of falling, but at that time, the sturdy boy was enough to reach out and grab a branch of the locust tree. Then, he stood up steadily and continued to climb forward. In the blink of an eye, Chen Ping'an squatted on a sloping locust tree branch, which was as high as the two-zhang-high courtyard wall. After that, he held his breath and squinted his eyes, not in any rush to sneak in.

On the way He Ningyao returned to the town from the covered bridge, Chen Pingan asked many questions.

For example, the old ape in Zhengyang Mountain, on the boundary of the small town, how fast can he run and how high can he jump under normal circumstances?How tough is his body, what kind of copper skin and iron bones?If I punched it, it would be tantamount to scratching the old ape, how much damage would it cause at a distance of [-] and [-] steps if it were replaced by a slingshot or a wooden bow?Are there any fatal flaws in the so-called "immortals" of the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain, such as eyeballs, crotch, and throat?If it is said that the opponent is injured and has to kill with all his strength, will I be sure to die?

At that time, Ning Yao was almost asked by the teenager that he only hated that he was not deaf and mute.

According to the girl in black, whether it is a Qi refiner or a pure martial artist, the more advanced the practitioner is, the greater the pressure on the place. It is absolutely supported, and once it opens, it will suffer the general damage of seawater backflow.Just imagine, facing the rapid flood, and then you try to open a small hole in the embankment?

But in the end, Ning Yao's conclusion is that if the young man and the Zhengyang Mountain old ape fight against each other, Chen Ping'an has no chance of winning.

In Huaiyin, the young man's eyes were firm, his face was indifferent, and he said silently: "Don't let the old ape approach within ten steps, ten steps, at least open this distance."

Ning Yao said that as long as the old ape doesn't jump over the wall, there is a chance to survive.

But Chen Ping'an replied that he wanted to force the old ape to kill him, otherwise it would be meaningless.

The old ape in Zhengyang Mountain must be forced to get angry and let the old ape not hesitate to use his infuriating energy in order to really destroy the cultivation base he has accumulated over the past thousand years. Life is worthless at all, but Chen Ping'an really wants to know if the old ape will feel distressed when he sees those vanishing practices, and whether it is worth it.

Of course, the premise of everything is that you don't want to be punched to death by someone.

The young man looked down at the people in the mansion passing through the corridor, and muttered, "Even if you can't escape, you must take a few more punches."

Chen Pingan never thought that he could kill the old ape, let alone that he could survive.

----

The Li family mansion, the little girl from Zhengyang Mountain, as the granddaughter of the ancestor of the Tao family, was enshrined by the Li family as a bodhisattva. In addition to arranging a number of first- and second-class maids in the other courtyard, these A girl who has children in her family has clean hands and feet. The most important thing is to know her roots and backgrounds. She has a clean background and may have been loyal to the Li family since her ancestors.

This courtyard is located in the middle, not close to the street of Fulu Street.

The little girl's name is Tao Zi and her nickname is Taozi. She is the pistachio of the ancestors of the sword immortals in Zhengyang Mountain. Of course, it is not because of her innocent and lovely temperament, but her future kendo level, which is qualified to let Zhengyang Mountain not hesitate. Costly smashing into massive resources.

Since 500 years, Tao Zi's four things, namely, the root, talent, temperament and chance, are among the best among the ancestors of the major peaks of Zhengyang Mountain in the past. To put it simply, the little girl Tao Zi will be a long board It is very long, but there is no short board magical existence.

This is truly a once-in-a-century, not a polite compliment from a bad street.

The little girl is now without the old ape by her side. She is alone in a completely unfamiliar place. She is not afraid of life or stage fright. Walk up a mountain.This made the little girl very disheartened. Sister Su of Zhengyang Mountain, when she entered the middle five realms, was given a mountain as a gift by her ancestors and became Sister Su's private domain. That mountain is Grandpa Ape. Thousands of miles away personally carried it back to Zhengyang Mountain and placed it in the northeast of Zhengyang Mountain. Although it was not big, the little girl had always been envious.

She felt a little stuffy in the study, so she walked to the main hall, put her hands together, and looked up at the plaque for a long time.

The little girl was always followed closely behind by two beautiful maids. One of them was discovered by the Li family as a child, and he was trained to become a martial artist with a small achievement.In fact, for the Li family, this kind of behavior is no different from raising flowers, birds, fish and worms, but it is not the hope that the girl can become a martial arts master in the future.Within the high wall of the big family, it is not impossible for the slaves to bully the masters, not to mention the fact that Shengmien fights rice enemies, the vision of the slaves and servants is too high, and the potential is too great. It may not be a good thing for the inheritance of the next generation of the family.

The little girl walked to the gate and bounced around in the yard.She didn't leave the yard without permission to make people embarrassed.Grandpa Ape reminded her that the people from Fengleiyuan had also arrived in the town, and she should not leave the yard until he settled it.Although the little girl is young, she has been fascinated by the treacherous clouds and dangers she has cultivated on the mountain since she was a child, and her family education is extremely strict, so she is not the kind of stubborn child who makes the elders worry.

The bored little girl ended up lying on the stone table, and there was a bird cage on the table, which contained a bird that looked like a snake-catcher, with its head down, sickly, with gray feathers, not at all. It's good-looking. No matter how much the little girl teased her before, this snake eagle didn't pay attention to her, so she also found it boring and boring. Now she really has nothing to do, so she whistled at the flat-haired animal.

Inside the cage are two porcelain bird food jars made privately by Li Jialong kiln, which are small and exquisite, one for plain and elegant water and the other for bright food.

It's just that after the snake eagle was caught, it didn't touch any water or grains of rice. It's been almost two days.

In small towns, snake eagles are rarely caught, and occasionally, whether they are young chicks or adult snake eagles, they die of hunger strike without exception.

No matter how you can feed it, let alone become a falcon driven by humans.

The little girl who was whistling saw that the snake eagle was still unresponsive, and finally lost her patience, stood up, turned around and left.

A bang.

A bird food jar inside the cage shattered violently.

The little girl first appeared sluggish for a moment, and then almost instinctively pulled a tall maid and let her stand in front of her.

The tall and plump maid only felt that her wrists were tightly bound by iron wires, and she almost screamed in pain.

It was the shorter maid, with sharp eyes, who immediately stood in front of the little girl and quickly looked around.

The second bird food jar in the cage exploded again, and the sound of firecrackers sounded on the table.

"There are assassins, on the roof over the Qingxin Courtyard!" The maid who had practiced martial arts finally caught the figure this time. On the roof ridge of the next courtyard, there was a half-squatting figure.

The maid started to run. The wall of the other courtyard was not high. She stepped on it, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and quickly climbed up to the top of the wall with her outstanding physical strength.

For a while, she was in trouble. This other courtyard was not far from Qingxinyuan, but the assassin was located on the roof of the main house of Qingxinyuan, and Qingxinyuan was close to Fulu Street, so that person could easily climb over the wall.So she made a decision almost between lightning and flint. Instead of jumping off the wall and running to the Qingxin Courtyard, she ran along the wall and jumped onto the ridge of her own courtyard.During this period, the maid always kept an eye out for the assassin's sneak attack.

Strangely, the assassin neither hindered her footsteps, nor did she intend to retreat immediately.

Between the eaves of the two courtyards, there is about a distance of [-] feet.

While staring at the movement of the assassin, the maid retreated quietly on the eaves, and finally took a deep breath and prepared to run.

The maid was shocked. The assassin who confronted her from a distance was actually a skinny teenager in shabby clothes? !

The teenager had two small bags tied around his waist, and he couldn't see the murder weapon in his hand. It should have been hidden. The maid thought it was the most likely slingshot.

She is also very puzzled. If she hit her head, she would not dare to say that she would be killed on the spot, but she was definitely not seriously injured. With the almost terrifying head of a teenager, she deliberately smashed the bird food jar twice, and she really missed herself or the other. A little girl from Zhengyang Mountain?

In the yard, the little girl said angrily: "Idiot! Be careful with the trick! Come back quickly!"

It is of course important to capture an assassin and extort a confession by severe torture, but it is even more important to prevent an accident and save one's life.

After the little girl released the arm of the tall maid, she raised her palm and slapped the frightened girl awake, "And you, hurry up and report! Do you know that if I die, your house All of them are going to die!"

The maid on the roof did not jump into the hospital immediately, but shouted loudly, "There are assassins!"

Then she began to run wildly, jumping off the edge of the eaves, and then the whole person began to leap towards the ridge of Qingxin Court opposite.

Relying on the maid's series of climbing and running movements, the assassin boy, who roughly judged her arm strength, leg strength, and vigor, squatted down and picked up two tiles, and threw his right hand, just hitting the girl's forehead. The girl who was still in the air subconsciously had both arms. He staggered and blocked in front of his head, and then slammed it twice, causing the maid to pierce her bones. The force was far beyond what the maid imagined. The whole person rushed forward and was immediately blocked. Just when she regretted her bravery on the occasion.

The maid, who had barely landed on the opposite eaves, was hit in the stomach with a punch, causing her to fall backwards.

It was just that the assassin grabbed an ankle inexplicably, and after a slight pause, the young man released his hand.

The maid didn't land safely, but she was not seriously injured.

Her whole head was a mess.

Out of the corner of the boy's eyes, he has been looking at the surrounding situation, and after finding black spots around him, he starts to turn around and run away.

The speed is fast, the pace is large, the rhythm is good, especially with the right breathing and breathing, if the maid can see it, she will definitely feel that the young man is like her, who has practiced martial arts for many years and has been immersed in it for a long time, definitely not What a layman.

The boy on the roof ridge soon disappeared, like a light bird, a snake eagle out of its cage.

----

After about a stick of incense, the burly old man hurried back to the Li family mansion, murderous.

From Li Hong, the head of the Li family, to the maids in other courtyards, everyone dared not breathe, especially the maid who practiced martial arts, kneeling on the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen, the maid did not say a word, and did not dare to show any resentment. .

The little girl, who was already calm as usual, sighed when she saw the old man, shook her head and said, "Grandpa Ape, the people of the Li family seem to be all trash. How dare you entrust me to them?"

Moving Mountain Ape knelt down on one knee, still taller than the little girl, the white-haired old man said guilty: "Miss, it's the old slave's fault."

The old man turned his head and said solemnly, "Li Hong!"

The owner of the small town Li family has a rough understanding of the orthodox and elegant words of Dongbaopingzhou. It happened that the words of the Zhengyang Mountain cultivator were exactly the same. This man in the family has no choice but to smile and apologize: "This time it is indeed my Li family's. The fault cannot be excused. According to the current situation we have obtained, it is a young man, most of whom are not practitioners. The government office has not provided any useful information for the time being, but only said that it will send more competent people to guard the house day and night. "

Tao Zi thought for a while and said, "That assassin doesn't look like he's here to kill me."

Then he added, "At least not today."

Patriarch Li's heart was about to fall, and it immediately hung back in his throat.

Bai Yuan frowned and asked, "Is that young man thin, dark-skinned, and about this height. Well, and wearing straw sandals?"

The maid who was kneeling on the ground nodded vigorously.

Bai Yuan grinned, his eyes gloomy, "Good guy! It turned out to be a demonstration and provocation!"

He waved his hand and said, "Don't interfere in this matter. I know the details of the assassin. He is an ordinary teenager in Mud Bottle Alley."

The little girl whispered, "Grandpa Ape, don't take it lightly."

The mover hesitated for a while, then stood up and instructed the Li family's owner: "Then let the government office take out a household file to the Li family's house, and check the details of the eighteenth generation of the boy's ancestors, and then In terms of manpower guarding this yard, it is easy to be skilled and less, and it is not easy to be complicated and more!"

The old man quietly accentuated his tone and sneered: "Li Hong, I advise you to invite the Dinghaishenzhen that your family sits here, don't take things seriously, my young lady really wants to have three strengths and two weaknesses here, even me, in your eyes. The old beast can't handle it, can you, Li's partial support?"

The head of the Li family hurriedly apologized, and said in a panic, "Patriarch Ape is ruining the Li family."

The mountain protector of Zhengyang Mountain fell into contemplation, and murmured, "Is the boy from Fengleiyuan taking the opportunity to provoke him? Or is it the plan of Song Changjing of the government office?"

The old man finally shook his head, thinking it was ridiculous, "No matter who instigated him to die, you don't know how to find a better pawn to cross the river. A little grasshopper with only a few ounces of meat stuck between his teeth? It’s good, I don’t have a chance to kill people, this is a good reason, first kill the soil embryo in the mud bottle alley, and then clean up your little bastard in Fengleiyuan.”

The old man smiled at the little girl and said, "Miss, this old slave will definitely help you clean up the mess this time, and there will never be another accident."

The little girl smiled brightly and raised her fist to boost the morale of the guarding ape of Zhengyang Mountain.

Before the old man left, he looked at the head of the Li family, and the latter smiled bitterly: "I'm going to invite my ancestors to come out and serve as a personal squire for Miss Tao in person."

The old man nodded and strode away.

The old man bit the bait carelessly, and went straight to Mud Bottle Alley along the fishing line.

It is clear that I have taken the bait, you can kill it.

If it is outside the town, this Zhengyang Mountain moving mountain ape would not dare to be so arrogant, but in this world, magic magical powers and magic weapons are all prohibited, but he has a huge advantage, which is why Zhengyang Mountain did not dispatch one. The reason for the ancestor of Jianxian.

The old ape walked all the way, and approached the Mud Bottle Alley, and the old ape realized that, "Isn't the boy in the alley just trying to avenge his friends?"

Before this, the old ape had been thinking deeply about the conspiracy that the grass and gray lines stretched thousands of miles. Now that he suddenly realizes this possibility, he finds it particularly absurd.

The old ape smiled, and quickly wanted to understand the reason, "If that's the case, it makes sense, and yes, it's not a practitioner, but not so afraid of death, it's just a cheap life anyway."

But to be careful, the old ape still did not swagger into the mud bottle alley from this end.

No matter what, this trip is destined to not go in vain. That little bastard who is highly valued by Fengleiyuan is nothing more than a little longer than the little mud legs in Mud Bottle Alley.

After a long circle, the old ape walked into the mud bottle alley from the corner of the alley near Gu Can's house.

In fact, the old ape was very suspicious of whether the assassin boy had the courage to stay in the ancestral house and wait for his death.

If you were smart and timid, you could die after the young people in Fengleiyuan.

The old ape grinned.

Then the smile instantly stiffened.

In the Mud Bottle Alley at dusk, the path has become dark and blurry.

The burly old man suddenly raised his head.

For some reason, a thin young man just stood at a high place in front of the alley, with his feet on the holes that had just been dug in the walls on both sides, just to be able to take advantage of it.

The young man carried a quiver on his back and held a fully drawn wooden bow, the tip of the arrow pointed directly at an eyeball of the old ape.

The young man was completely silent, drawing his bow like a full moon without speaking, as if even the slightest breath seemed to have disappeared.

So much so that the mountain guardian of Zhengyang Mountain could only detect the existence of the young man above his head with his keen sense of danger.

Don't give the old ape more chances to react.

The arrow shot at it, roaring into the wind, and the force was heavy.

After the young man shot an arrow, he didn't make a second choice at all. He shrank his neck and quickly hung the wooden bow diagonally on his shoulders. He exerted force on his toes, and staggered on the walls on both sides to use force to move up the eaves, and it was fleeting.

The old ape retracted the palm that was blocking his forehead, and saw that the arrow was nailed into the palm of his hand, not deep, and it was vaguely visible that there was a wound.

But the old ape was afraid for a while.

If he was in the small town, he was shot in the eye with an arrow, and it would be a tragedy.

Pull out the arrow at will, break it, and drop it in the mud bottle alley.

The old man clenched his fists and looked up at the sky in the alley. His face was ashen, his throat was agitated, and he made a low and suppressed sound, like an ancient beast that was extremely angry.

Using both hands and feet, the old man climbed to the roof in an instant, but as soon as he appeared, a second arrow rushed to him.

The old man who was already on guard just lifted it up and let it be nailed into his arm a little bit, and strode forward with a grinning smile.

The boy who put away the wooden bow again turned around and ran.

Above the continuous eaves on the side of Mud Bottle Alley, there was a series of cracking sounds.

After all, the old man's stride was much larger than that of the young man, and he gradually narrowed the distance. No accident, he would soon catch up with the thin young man whose figure was actually flexible enough.

The old man instantly exerted his strength, and the whole person rose into the air and slaughtered forward. A giant hand the size of a palm fan reached out to the young man's head.

The young man seemed to have eyes behind him, but at the critical moment, he twisted his waist, his whole body bent, and then turned and jumped to the roof opposite the alley.

After gently landing, continue to run wild.

The old ape's movements were also extremely agile and swift, and he also folded abruptly to the roof on the other side of the Mud Bottle Alley on the right.

The young man stopped suddenly.

When the old ape realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

It turned out that the roof was uninhabited, and it had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was already dilapidated. How could it bear the 200-jin jump of the old ape.

Crash, people and tiles fell into the house together.

The old ape fell to the ground with a bang, and after holding the ground with one hand, he twisted his head to avoid the tricky and insidious arrow.

The arrow pierced directly into the ground.

It can be seen that it is not that the youth is not strong enough, but the old ape is too rough and thick.

The young man stood on the edge of the big hole in the roof, put away the wooden bow skillfully, raised his middle finger at the old ape, and scolded: "Old beast! Fuck your mother!"

The young man suddenly looked strange, and suddenly slapped himself and muttered, "It's not that I'm at a loss!"

The old ape stood up suddenly, and the young man was gone again.
