Chapter 16: Crane Song
Towards the end of the evening, Qing Yu was finally about to walk to Yangcheng.
I got up early in the morning and rushed to the tea stall to wait for the rabbit. Yangcheng is the only way from Qingzhou to Lingzhou. A normal person who doesn't know martial arts, even if he wants to escape, he will definitely not flee to the dangerous jungles of southern Xinjiang, but to the peaceful Central Plains.
Therefore, Qing Yu absolutely only needs to guard on this official road leading to Yangcheng and wait for the prey to jump into the cage by itself. Who would have thought that in order to be safe, Qingyuan and they went to Qingshui Town to inquire for a long time. In addition, before coming back, the horse had been running for a day, and in order to be fast, he didn't even change the horse, so he hurried to the side of Yangcheng.
The horses are tired, and this quick result is more wasted time.
Qing Yu waited from morning to afternoon, and finally waited for people, and then it was a one-sided battle. Then I had to walk back to Yangcheng, and most of the day was spent hurrying and waiting.
"This time, I must learn to ride a horse. Qing Yu raised his head to the sky forty-five times and swore an oath.
But the most important thing now is to hurry back to the inn to rest, and it is best to take a bath. Qing Yu recalled the feeling of relaxation, and his already weak feet inexplicably gave birth to a burst of strength.
However, the sky does not follow people's wishes, seeing that Yangcheng is in sight, Qing Yu wants to run back with light skills, and a dark figure appears silently on the right side of the road.
That's—the black-faced brother.
Seeing him, Qing Yu felt that his tired nerves were even heavier.
Sure enough, the black-faced brother, that is, Xiao Gao, looked at Qing Yu faintly and said, "My lord is waiting for you." His tone was cold, his eyes were cold, and Qing Yu felt that his tiredness was suddenly subsided by this coldness.
Although he was very reluctant, but it was reasonable to have a big fist, Qing Yu still said spinelessly: "Please lead the way." ”
The black-faced brother didn't reply, just turned around, and when Qing Yu saw this, he also made Jin Yangong follow.
The black-faced brother is in front of him, and his speed is not slow. However, what Qing Yu is best at now is speed, and there is no pressure to keep up with him.
The black-faced brother was speeding in front, feeling that the aura of Qing Yu behind him was not far away, his current speed was not fast for him, but it was also a level that was difficult to reach in the ordinary acquired realm. With a little intention of teaching, the black-faced brother accelerated again.
"Sue wrong, what the hell are you doing······" The figure that was originally in front of him quickly moved away, and Qing Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart. It's not impossible to keep up again, but in this way, it exposes the speed of being much faster than the ordinary acquired realm, absolutely not. Having made up his mind, Qing Yu sped up a little speed again, with an eager look on his face.
The black-faced brother quickly left Qing Yu's field of vision. Qing Yu still maintained that speed, and sweat was still on his forehead.
Further ahead, Qing Yu saw the waiting figure of the black-faced brother on the branch in front of him. Qing Yu hurried a few lifts and stopped at a thick branch a little behind.
I said······ Blackface ······ Big brother, can you slow down, little brother... I can't keep up. Qing Yu put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.
The black-faced brother nodded silently, maintaining the speed he had just started and set off again.
"Hey, wait for me ······" Qing Yu shouted from behind. Next, Qing Yu deliberately kept the internal force running intermittently, pretending that his breath was disordered, a little slower than at the beginning, doing a full set of acts, and he was still tired to death just now, how could he be okay all of a sudden.
The black-faced brother felt like he was cocooning himself, so he had no choice but to slow down again so that Qing Yu could keep up.
The two of them came to a small mountain nearby.
The mountain peak is not high, standing on the top, you can also see the towering city wall of Yangcheng, but the whole picture of Yangcheng behind is difficult to see.
Mr. Mo is still dressed in a black robe, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, with his back to Qing Yu, standing on the edge of the mountain peak, with a cliff in front of him.
The breeze blows, blowing up the black yarn under the hat, the ancient and very classic 13 routines of the master.
"You're here. Mr. Mo still turned his back and said to Qing Yu, who had just arrived.
I'm here, Qing Yu wanted to pretend to be a 13, and he had no qualifications to pretend, so he could only bow his head and clasp his fists and salute, saying, "Yes, sir." ”
He paused, and then said, "The junior has already gotten rid of those two True Martial Dao Sect disciples. Excuse me, when will the operation against the four major families begin. ”
"Don't worry, you······ Hmm!" Hearing Qing Yu's angry answer, Mr. Mo quickly turned around, his eyes under the black veil staring at Qing Yu. I just felt his breath disturbed, and I thought he was hurt in some way. Who would have thought that he would kill an acquired sixfold and an acquired sevenfold without injury. Moreover, in just two or three days, he actually reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow, and looking at his breath, he had more than just opened up a twelve-canon. Even with the help of pills, this son's talent is extremely amazing. Thinking like this, Mr. Mo couldn't help but have a murderous intent in his heart.
The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn, and Qing Yu felt a silent pressure on his back, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"He wants to kill me!" Qing Yu's intuition was precise, sensing Mr. Mo's killing intent. However, who is a knife warrior, I am a fish and meat, I am really powerless to resist, even if one foot has stepped into the ghost gate, Qing Yu can only maintain the posture of bowing his head and saluting, the sweat on his forehead is flowing into his eyes, and he does not dare to move.
"I didn't expect you to enter the country so quickly. Come to think of it, your master has a spirit in heaven, and he will also be glad to have such a good apprentice. As Mr. Mo spoke, the atmosphere became soothing.
The breeze blew across Qing Yu's back, blowing cold sweat on his back, Qing Yu knew that Mr. Mo should have pressed the killing machine, and he took his feet back from the ghost gate.
"Where, it all depends on the help of Mr.'s elixir, great kindness, and the younger generation is unforgettable. Qing Yu said sincerely, as if the killing machine just now was all an illusion. This is the sorrow of the weak, life and death are all in the hands of man.
Mr. Mo waved his hand and said: "This is just a gesture, with my friendship with your master, what is this, if you are not afraid that you will enter the country too quickly and the foundation is unstable, it will be a miracle medicine, I will get it for my virtuous nephew." Besides, the pill is a foreign object after all, no matter how strong it is, it has to be accumulated by yourself, and the iron has to be hard by itself. ”
Regarding Mr. Mo's sensational words, Qing Yu only had the word hehe in his heart.
The two of them once again made a fuss, and finally got to the point.
"You lived up to my expectations. However, although the potential of those two true martial arts disciples has been exhausted, they have a famous stunt, and they have been in the acquired realm for so many years, and they are not bad in the acquired realm. You were able to kill both of them without harm, and it seems that I still underestimated your potential. Mr. Mo nodded approvingly.
Qing Yu's heart sank, and he finally knew where he let Mr. Mo kill him. Three days to advance to two small realms is considered a point, and the day after tomorrow six times without injury to kill the same realm and one higher realm is also a very important point.
If this unknown Mr. Mo is really a friend of Xuanfa, he will naturally be happy for his friend's successor, but if he has bad intentions in his heart, he will not be happy, but will kill the chess pieces that may be out of control. From the current situation, it is clear that Mr. Mok falls into the latter category.
"However, except for my identity, I am nothing special, what is there to do with Mr. Mo for me?" Qing Yu thought in his heart. If you want to say that it is for the martial arts talent that you have shown that is different from ordinary people, not to mention that this reason is a bit far-fetched, when Mr. Mo came to the door before, he didn't know that Qing Yu's talent was amazing. Such a master whose strength is unknown, but must be very high, has any plans for a small shrimp in the acquired realm, Qing Yu can't even think of it.
Although there are thousands of thoughts in the heart, the appearance is not obvious. Qing Yu's praise for Mr. Mo shyly touched the back of his head and smiled, showing the shyness of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man who had nothing to do.
Mr. Mo didn't know if he was confused by Qing Yu's performance, and continued: "Next, the virtuous nephew will start to be responsible for the attack on the four major families, can the virtuous nephew be sure of this matter?"
"If you kill all the people of the four major families, will it be considered a completion of the task?" was still smiling shyly, but the words that came out of his mouth were full of murderous energy.
Mr. Mo smiled dumbly and said, "If you can use your acquired sixfold cultivation to kill a number of acquired eightfold and ninth-fold of the four major families, as well as one of the innate ones, of course this can be regarded as completing the task, the question is whether you can do it?"
"Inflated, inflated······" Qing Yu secretly exclaimed in his heart, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Easily killing Qingyuan and the two, although it was a little trick, it still made Qing Yu have the arrogant idea that the acquired realm is basically just like this, and he didn't think that he was also the acquired sixfold in his mouth, and he was a small shrimp eaten by fish on the rivers and lakes.
Putting away the arrogance in his heart, Qing Yu replied: "The juniors don't have much clue about this matter, after all, the juniors have just arrived in Yangcheng for less than five days, and they can be said to be blind to the situation in Yangcheng. But come to think of it, this is nothing more than sowing discord and plotting to assassinate. To stir up the contradictions between the four major families and let them kill each other, we can also take advantage of the chaos to cut off their minions, weaken their forces step by step, and then capture them in one net. ”
Regardless of whether it works or not, let the big words out first, anyway, you can't escape from this big pit, if you can't do it, you will die, so you must be able to do it, and if you can't do it, you have to do it.
Mr. Mo was noncommittal about Qing Yu's wild words, but said, "You only have three months. In three months, even if the four great families are not destroyed, you will let me see the hope of victory. If this happens, 5% of the 20% of the benefits you win will be used as a reward for your success. ”
Mr. Mo didn't say what would happen if he failed, and Qing Yu didn't mention it.
"The juniors thanked Mr. Mo. Qing Yu raised his hand and bowed, looking grateful. In his heart, he was secretly cold, the film market was known as the big cadre in the dark, and the benefits were so great, even if it was five percent of the interests of these two states, Qing Yu was difficult to estimate. Mr. Mo gave such a promise, I am afraid that he has no intention of fulfilling the promise at all. The day it was done, it was the time when Qing Yu died.
"I'll leave the rest to you, don't let me down. Relevant information, Xiao Gao will hand it over to you on my behalf tomorrow, as soon as manpower is deployed, you only need to ask Xiao Gao, and he will fully cooperate with you. Mr. Mo stretched out his hand and motioned to the black-faced brother standing on the side, introducing him as Xiao Gao.
The two of them are polite to their predecessors. Mr. Mo finally waved his hand to signal Qing Yu to retreat, and Qing Yu saluted and said goodbye.
"My lord, I really want to give such a big benefit to this kid. After Qing Yu left, Xiao Gao couldn't help but say to Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo glanced at Xiao Gao, making Xiao Gao dare not say more.
"Gambling is never the point. If I want to win the bet, I don't need to rely on a junior who has been acquired. After the deed is completed, what will happen depends on the kid's own creation. Distribution of benefits, heh, sixty percent of the benefits obtained, still need to take out most of the money to dot everywhere, and hand over the main building, how can I still have to cut out the already small interests, and then cut out another one to give to this junior. ”
In his words, Mr. Mo was already victorious, and he arranged for Qing Yu to be in charge, and it was estimated that he had another plan.
The wind blew, and a white crane with an astonishing size and a wingspan of six meters flew from the sky and landed on Mr. Mo's side. The white crane feathers are simple and pure, the body is elegant and elegant, and the song is extraordinary. There was a red feather on its head, like a red hat, and a long neck with a circle of black feathers, like a black scarf, but it was a red-crowned crane. The red-crowned crane is known as the "fairy crane" in ancient Chinese mythology and folklore, and is a symbol of elegance and longevity.
Mr. Mo jumped on this "crane", the crane roared, Qingyue's chirping resounded in the sky, his wings fanned, the ground flew sand and stones, the crane took off and disappeared into the sunset.
As for the bitter Xiao Gao, he can only rely on his own legs like Qing Yu.
On the other side, Qing Yu, who was aware of Mr. Mo's malice, thought as he walked on the road.
"What exactly is Mr. Mo's plan for me?" this question deeply troubled Qing Yu and made him puzzled.
The matter of the gambling contract only stipulates that the use of force cannot exceed the six times after tomorrow. It seems unfair to Mr. Mo, but in fact, for some high-ranking people, the day after tomorrow is as important as it is, the quality is not good, the quantity is to make up, and it is not a matter of using force.
As for the means of manifestation, Qing Yu's previous confident countermeasures were all empty words, and there was not even a specific plan. He didn't believe that Mr. Mo would not know this. However, Mr. Mo did not express any of Qing Yu's empty words, as if it was not his interests.
Besides, it is the force that restricts, and it does not prevent him from giving advice. With such a big benefit, it is possible to secretly arrange the fate of the innate realm master. Qing Yu didn't believe that Mr. Mo would even take over the overall plan by someone else, and he was still an outsider who had nothing to do with it. This outsider is still a rookie in the rivers and lakes, and if he finds an old fritter, he is more experienced than Qing Yu.
"It's annoying, except that I'm a disciple of the old ghost of the pit apprentice of the Xuanfa, what else can I do?"
"No, the disciple of the Xuanfa ······"
Removing all the impossible, and the rest, no matter how unbelievable, is the answer.
The only thing that Qing Yu is different from ordinary people is that he is a disciple of Xuanfa. Although Xuanfa is dead, he is a man of the hour. At this point, although Qing Yu didn't know who there were famous people in the rivers and lakes, it didn't prevent him from knowing whether Xuanfa was a man of the year or not. Nonsense, you have to compete for the person in charge of the real martial arts, this is not a man of the hour, who is.
Although Xuanfa is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leave an inheritance or something. And this is the only possible plot of Mr. Mo, Qing Yu feels that he has found the truth.
Qing Yue's long whistle came, and Qing Yu looked up in the direction where the sound came from. Although there were trees to obstruct it, Qing Yu was sure that the sound came from the peak of the mountain where he had met Mr. Mo before.
"It's... Crane ······"
