Embers

The light of the fire gradually extinguished, and the silent night returned to darkness again.The chill came from all directions, Xiao Taohua grasped the clothes on Ember's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.

"Go to sleep."

She looked at the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, and nodded slightly.She was also exhausted from the whole day of tension and running away, and soon fell asleep.

Ember slowly mobilized her internal energy, trying to make her sleep more comfortably.

The night seemed endless.

Ember closed her eyes, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.Counting it, he hadn't slept for a day and a night, and he didn't feel sleepy yet.

Chaotic thoughts circled in his mind, and he had to sort them out as soon as possible.

It seems that no matter whether he returns to the Demon Cult or not, the trajectory of his life that he hoped for will be deflected again.If you go back, you will face taking over the Devil's Cult. If you don't go back, you will keep fleeing and wandering, and you don't know when you will have a head.

If there is a fire light at this time, the people around will be surprised to see the unprecedented boredom on Ember's face.

He lowered his head and stroked the handle of Jieyou's sword, and said softly, "Master, if it were you, what would you do?"

The voice was piercingly clear in the dead of night.

Another day of rushing, Xiao Taohua hugged Ember's waist, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Ye, where are we going?"

Ember's voice was as calm as if he hadn't experienced a whole night of thinking and struggling: "The Devil's Cult."

Xiao Taohua's eyes widened: "The Demon Sect?"

Is it the demon cult that you often hear about in brothels?

She couldn't help being scared: "Brother Ye, can we not go to the Demon Cult?"

Ember frowned slightly: "Do you have enmity with the Demon Cult?"

"No...it's just that I heard that the Devil's Cult is a big villain...the Devil's Cult is a terrible place..."

Ember didn't speak for a long while.

Xiao Taohua was a little flustered, suspecting that she had said something wrong, just as she was about to make amends, she heard Ember's voice in the wind.

"Remember, if you don't see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, it must not be counted. Even if everyone says that, it may not be true. Only when you have experienced it yourself can you be qualified to make a judgment, understand?"

Xiao Taohua nodded half-understood: "That is to say, Brother Ye thinks that the Devil's Cult isn't that scary?"

Ember didn't know what she thought of, and said in a low voice: "This question needs to be answered by yourself."

Walking all the way to the edge of another small town, I saw a small teahouse outside the city gate.After not eating or drinking for a long time, Xiao Taohua and Ember's mouths were already parched, and they stopped immediately when they saw a teahouse.

The teahouse is located outside the city gate. Every day when people go in and out of the city, some people are thirsty and tired all the way, so they come in to drink tea and rest, so there are more people.

Ember led Xiao Taohua into the door and watched for a long time before finding an empty table.

There was only one waiter in this teahouse, who looked very young, and because there were so many people, he was very busy, with three teapots in one hand and a plate of pastries sandwiched between them.

But he was busy, he was very proficient in greeting guests before and after, and had a good attitude. Although Ember had been sitting in front of Ember for a long time, because of his thoughtful words, Ember did not feel much dissatisfaction. patient.

Public places such as teahouses, restaurants, and brothels are always the most convenient places to inquire about news.There are two heavy swords tied to his waist.Ember untied the ordinary sword from his waist and put it on the table, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

It was the first time for Xiao Taohua to come to this kind of occasion, and she looked at the customers in the store curiously with her big eyes open.Some of these people felt very familiar to her, while some she had never been in contact with.

She asked Ember in a low voice, who are those people.

Ember poured her a cup of tea again, and said calmly, "They are ordinary people."

"Ordinary people?"

"Yes. The people you have seen who go to brothels are princes, nobles, rich people and people from the Jianghu, and these are ordinary people from poor families."

Here are the insights along the way.

Ye Bozhou didn't have time to teach him something in ten years, but the ups and downs along the way made him suddenly understand.

Xiao Taohua had also vaguely felt that people were different before, but she had never heard of such a clear classification of three, six, nine, and suddenly became interested: "Then brother Ye, who are you? ?”

Ember has unexpected patience with her: "People from the Jianghu."

Xiao Taohua thought about it, and felt different. People from Jianghu were the ones she had ever seen. They behave rudely, have a bad temper, and are always covered in dust. Brother Ye always wears clean white clothes, although he looks ugly. Indifferent, but very patient and gentle, how could he be a quack!

After hearing her argument, Ember paused her hands, and said: "Jianghu people refer to people who live in the Jianghu. It doesn't mean that their character determines their fate, but their fate determines their character. .”

These words were really profound to Xiao Taohua, she held her teacup and tried hard to understand, and then she became quiet.

Ember's eyes fell on the ordinary iron sword on the table, but her ears could clearly hear the conversations at other tables.

"After the new year, there will be another martial arts conference. I don't know what's going on this time."

"Hey, Ye Bozhou from Xiaxianmen is dead, who else can fight against that monster Nie Budu this time!"

"Don't be discouraged, what is he, Nie Budu, we have a large number of decent talents in the martial arts, so are you afraid that he will fail?"

Being able to filter out other things and receive these news intently, Ember's eyes fell into the teacup, knowing clearly in her heart that when these news start to be useful to a person, that person has already become a quack or is about to fall into this chaotic world. The rivers and lakes.

After sitting for about half an hour, Ember listened to everything that was useful, ordered something to eat with Xiao Taohua, got up and was about to leave.

Xiao Taohua nodded, put her bundle on her back, and was about to keep up, when the ember in front of her suddenly stopped moving, almost at the same time, his sword was out of its sheath.

The young men who had just sat behind them stood up, holding weapons in their hands, and looked at Ember with a serious face.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the other guests ran away after seeing this posture. Only the guy chased after him and stamped his feet and shouted: "I haven't paid you yet!"

For a while, only Ember, Xiao Taohua and the five young people were left in the teahouse.

Xiao Taohua was protected by embers behind her, her little face was pale.

One of the more sturdy people said: "Brother, are you sure this is Ember?"

A gentler man said: "That's right, I met him at the last martial arts conference."

Then he said to Yujin: "Yujin, it's already a serious crime for you to kill your master and secretly practice magic arts, but you still refuse to repent and join the devil's religion, that's an added crime. Today we must do justice for the heavens and take your life!"

A good one to do justice for the heavens.

Ember didn't say anything, and wasn't curious about which sect it was. She nodded slightly and raised her hand to make a sharp sword move.

Everyone else was about to say a few more words, but they didn't expect Ember to start fighting as soon as he came up without saying anything. He suffered a secret loss when he couldn't defend, and cursed in his heart. He was indeed an evil in collusion with the Demon Sect, and his behavior style was just like the Demon Sect A virtue!

That's what he said, but in fact Nie Budu is not like this as the leader of the sect. He is always willing to follow the red tape of Baidao, but he is very disdainful in his heart, and it adds a bit of irony when he does it.

Ember's martial arts are unfathomable, and with the help of Nie Budu's handwritten "Cuohuaxinjing", these few people are far behind him.But after all, these people's martial arts are not weak, and it is a bit difficult to unite.

An ordinary sword glowed extremely dazzlingly in Ember's hands, and the exchange of internal energy was extremely smooth, and the power of the moves was also greatly enhanced.

Several people took a step back in horror, wondering when did Ember's martial arts reach such a level?

Just when Ember was about to strike the enemy with one move, someone suddenly changed his move, and the tip of his sword stabbed at the little peach blossom behind Ember!

Ember's sword never returned, and it was at the most critical moment that it was too late to take back the defense.

Xiao Taohua stared helplessly at the point of the sword coming towards her, unable to move her whole body, she could only close her eyes in despair.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" in the ear, and immediately after, the person fell into an embrace full of fragrance.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the man who was charging at her with a sword had fallen to the ground, with a small dart stuck in his forehead, his eyes were wide open, as if he was dead.

Just when she was about to cry out in horror, a hand covered her mouth.A pleasant female voice sounded next to my ear: "Don't make a sound, it will affect him."

Ember quickly finished off the four people, and the tip of the sword was still dripping with blood when it stopped.He looked down at these corpses from a high position, retracted his sword, and nodded to the woman beside him.

"Thank you."

The woman covered her lips with a smile, let Xiao Taohua go, and said: "Thank you, I don't need it, but you smashed my things, scared away my guests, and left these corpses behind, what should I do?"

A very ordinary face, with a somewhat stiff facial expression, must be wearing a mask.The dart that was thrown just now was steady and ruthless, and she was not an ordinary woman at first glance.

After estimating in his heart, Ember didn't say anything, squatted down and rummaged through the corpses, and found a thick stack of bank notes on one of the corpses in a short while.

He also pulled off the jade pendants from the two of them, took off the hair ornaments, and put them on the table in front of the proprietress, lowered his head and said to Xiao Taohua: "Wait here for a while, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Xiao Taohua's face turned pale with fright.

Seeing that the corpses had been looted, Ember carried one out of the shop with one hand.

The proprietress pinched Xiao Taohua's smooth face, and said with a smile: "Little sister, that one just now, who are you?"

Xiao Taohua came back to her senses after being pinched by her, and subconsciously began to be on guard.

My brother said that no one should be taken lightly.

Seeing her nervous look, the proprietress stopped teasing her, found a stool and sat down, thinking.

The author has something to say:

Nothing can stop me from updating, not the high fever or the noise on the train! (make a fist)
