Behind me is the earth

There was a heart-wrenching sound, as if it was the sound of something biting, crackling like chewing bones!

The beasts in the mountains and wilds don’t have such good teeth!

Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"Could it be a demon?"

The guard suddenly said in shock.

"magic?"

The young master stood up immediately and drew out the sharp sword from his waist: "Have you ever seen a demon?"

The guard held a knife in both hands and flapped his ears, wary of the direction of the sound, and said to the young master: "No, but I have seen it in books. Some time ago, my subordinate guarded a batch of goods from home that went to Yingzhou. At that time, I heard from a business traveler on the road that there had been a demon near Luan Konghai in the North Land!

At that time, seven or eight villages, totaling more than a thousand people, were killed. At that time, this matter was quite a big deal in the northern part of Yingzhou!

It is said in the book that those demons often have some incredible abilities, so no matter what happens in a while, you must be careful and don't be careless! "

"I know."

The young master held the long sword tightly in his hand, turned his wrist, and danced with the sword. At the same time, he listened carefully, wary of the unknown existence in the thick fog.

"Huh? Someone is here again?"

The young master suddenly heard the sound of wheels rattling.

There were also the sounds of horse hooves and people's footsteps, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of people coming.

In the mountain forest not far away, Ren Pingsheng looked at the group of people coming along the mountain road.

These people were dressed in simple and uniform black clothes, and each carried a sword on his back. There were about fifty people, and many of them carried strong bows and crossbows. They were full of momentum and looked like elite soldiers from the army.

They stood on the edge of the thick fog and hesitated, but the thick fog suddenly spread as if it had its own consciousness and enveloped them.

"Notice!"

The leader yelled.

A sudden gust of wind blew through the darkness.

The leader threw off the scabbard with a "clop" sound and took out the Mo Dao in his hand. When the Mo Dao and the scabbard were in contact and friction, sparks were generated, and a bright flame appeared on the surface of the knife with a "fly".

The sword and fire shadow flashed past. Taking advantage of the thick fog in the air, Qi Xingzhong couldn't dodge, so he took a knife and made a gash in his waist and abdomen.

What's strange is that there is no blood flowing out of the incision, and the incision is pitch black from the fire. The Qixingzhong seems to have no pain. After landing, he kicks off his back foot and in an unexpected gesture, he pounces on a hand holding a knife behind him. The man in black with a strong crossbow.

"Ah! Here!"

The fishy wind came, and the man in black had time to block it with a crossbow, but Qi Xingzhong slapped him and threw him away. He opened his mouth to reveal a set of burnt yellow melon-seed teeth, and bit down hard on the man in black who shouted loudly. head on!

When the mouth was opened, it actually seemed to be split. It was wider than a human head. Like drops of blood, it bit off the head of the man in black in one bite. He chewed it with Qi Xingzhong's teeth, " With a crunching sound, the hardest skull in the human body was chewed by him, and blood suddenly dripped down with the thick mist of salivation.

"How strong is this 'demon'?"

Ren Pingsheng asked Sanhua next to him.

Sanhua's eyes had turned into vertical cat eyes, and she could actually penetrate the fog and see the fighting scene on the mountain road.

"It shouldn't be my one-in-one enemy. His strength is at the level of a warrior at best, but he is covered by thick fog, and he is not afraid of pain. Otherwise, he would be killed by these men in black in one round. "

Sanhua told the king her judgment.

"Go and get rid of this 'demon'."

Now that he has figured out the strength of this demon, it has become a prop for anyone who comes into contact with this world throughout his life.

While Ren Pingsheng was chatting with Sanhua, seven or eight more people in black had already died over there.

However, the demon also had seven or eight burnt black knife wounds on his body, as well as a dozen crossbow arrows.

Some crossbow arrows hit the demon's vital points, but there was no sign of the demon being fatally injured.

"Your Majesty, I will come back as soon as I go."

Sanhua licked her lips, and with one leap, she had already stepped out more than ten meters away. She jumped a few times on the mountain road with extremely flexible body, and then she fell into the battlefield between the demon and the man in black. .

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, followed by a "clicking" breaking sound.

The huge force hit the demon's head accurately.

The demon's head was like a broken watermelon. The hard skull shattered instantly, and the bones on the neck were broken. Only a little skin and flesh remained, which was softly connected to the neck. He fell to the ground. on the ground.

The fog lost its source, and the mountain breeze became lighter.

Sanhua's light toes tapped the ground, and she flew back more than ten meters. She stood on a stone tablet that was as tall as a person on the side of the mountain road, and then stopped.

"Senior, thank you very much!"

The fog dissipated quickly, and as he spoke, the leader of the men in black could already see the woman in strange clothes more than ten meters away.

Sanhua, who was wearing a denim jacket and jeans, flicked the ponytail on the back of his head and looked around. He saw that no matter the man in black on the mountain road or the young master and his entourage in the yard of the dilapidated temple beside the road, they were all paying attention. On her body.

And the prince in the woods also walked out of the woods.

Under the starry sky, so many people gathered here on this remote mountain road.

Whether it was the sudden appearance of the demon or the woman standing on the stone tablet who looked young but was very skilled in martial arts, they were all very surprising.

"What is this?"

Ren Pingsheng approached the motorcade of the man in black. Sanhua jumped down from the stone tablet and stood silently behind him.

All the eyes that were paying attention to Sanhua also shifted their attention from her movements to the man who came out of the mountain forest.

Ren Pingsheng squatted down, picked up a branch and picked out the body. He looked closely at the body of this strange species at close range. Except for the face, it really didn't look like a human being.

"This is a human change. Some people have demon blood in their blood. Once it appears, it will often bring disaster to the world."

The leader in black said.

"Demon blood? Trouble the world?"

These things have never been seen in the outside world. Judging from the thing in front of me, its strength is not very strong. Any warrior who can listen to the wind and judge the position can solve it with a grenade.

"Is this demon strong?"

Ren Pingsheng asked the leader in black again.

The leader in black said: "Devils have various abilities. This one is not strong, but it is not weak either."

The young man in the deserted temple courtyard also walked to the entrance of the courtyard under the protection of the guards. He looked here with a pair of narrow eyes. After listening to the words of the leader in black, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this sir a member of the imperial court?"

Ren Pingsheng stood up, walked to the roadside, and looked at these two groups of people.

Sanhua followed Ren Pingsheng, still wondering how the king could understand these people and still say this.

"Are you from the Wu family?"

The leader in black asked.

"I'm Wu Xiaotian."

The young man announced his family name and said I am here, but his expression looked quite arrogant.

"It turns out to be Mr. Wu."

The leader in black obviously knew the Wu family very well, and he bowed his hand towards him: "I won't disturb Mr. Wu's elegance until I have something important to attend to.

Senior, thank you very much for your help. This is my token. If senior goes to the capital in the future and comes from Ruyang Hou Mansion with his token, Yan will sweep the bed to welcome him! "

The leader in black handed a bronze plaque to Sanhua, then waved at the convoy, which had already collected the bodies of his brothers, and continued on the road.

Soon, the group disappeared on the rugged mountain road.

"I met senior Wu Xiaotian at the Wu family in Xialuzhou."

At this time, when Wu Xiaotian faced Ren Pingsheng, his attitude seemed much more modest, and there was nothing worth criticizing about his own etiquette.

"Ren Pingsheng."

Ren Pingsheng pointed to the leaving imperial officers and soldiers: "What are these officers and soldiers doing in the mountains at this late hour?"

"I think they are trying to find a way out of the fog. This is not the first wave of people. The current imperial court seems to be in flames, but the world is about to overthrow. Many people want to go through the fog and find a different path. Just come.

It's a pity that the fog is not that easy to survive. Throughout history, how many people have entered it and explored it, but none of them have been able to do so. The four major natural chasms in the southeast, southeast, and northwest cannot be overcome by human effort! "

Wu Xiaotian sighed and said.

"I look at this world. The people are prosperous and the things are prosperous. If the people can live well, how can there be any danger of overthrow?"

Ren Pingsheng walked to the gate of the deserted temple, casually sat on the weathered stone lion, and asked doubtfully.

"There are only 500,000 people in the world. Anyone who exceeds 500,000 must raise weapons. Now the world is prosperous, and 500,000 people are approaching."

The day of great chaos is approaching. "

Wu Xiaotian also casually sat on another weathered lion at the door. While talking casually, he looked at Ren Pingsheng eagerly with his eyes: "Sir, have you ever heard of the reputation of my Wu family in Luzhou?"

"The rich man in Luzhou naturally knows."

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said.

He swept through the big city of Luzhou with his telekinesis and saw the huge mansion with the word "Wu Mansion" written on it. The third son of Wu was so arrogant in front of the people in the Ruyang Hou Mansion. Most likely this is the family.

However, although this small world is not big, it can not only support 500,000 people. Even if the productivity is low, it is enough to feed millions of people. How can 500,000 people cause chaos in the world?

Could it be that it’s not just a matter of resource allocation?

"Sir, what you don't know is that the Wu family is not a wealthy family, but is the governor of Luzhou. Just before the Yuan Dynasty, my ancestor was an emperor!"

Mr. Wu said calmly.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt that this small world was indeed different from the outside world.

In the outside world, there are few descendants of the previous royal family, and few dare to boast like this in front of others.

"Think about it, sir, is he from the Hidden Sect's Martial Lineage in Thousand Mountains?"

Mr. Wu continued to ask.

"How do you see it?"

Ren Pingsheng neither admitted nor denied it.

"In this Luzhou, there are very few martial arts masters that I don't know about in my Wu family. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child and traveled around the world at the age of sixteen. I have visited and communicated with all the famous martial arts masters in the five states and mingled in this circle. Not only do I know them all, but I know nine out of ten of them.

The gentleman has a good appearance, and the female gentleman is also good at fists and kicks, but he looks very cool, so this is just a guess. "

Wu Xiaotian said honestly to Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng followed the words and said: "What Mr. Wu said is true. We have been practicing in the mountains for a long time. We don't want to be burdened by the worldly world. We practice martial arts and cultivate our tastes in the mountains. We are friends with fish and shrimps and elk. That's right." Carefree."

“But now the world is about to be in chaos, and it’s time to reshuffle the cards. Our Wu family has the idea and the strength to compete in the world.

Why don't you go out and compete for your luck in the world?

Cultivation resources are limited, so how can we reach the top without competing for them? "

Wu Xiaotian persuaded with more and more fervent words.

Ren Pingsheng smiled and said nothing.

Wu Xiaotian was a little anxious. Although he could not clearly see the strength of the woman just now because of the thick fog, her floating and silent posture and the strength that broke the demon's neck with one palm were like a Yin Yuan warrior who had already developed inner energy. This is extraordinary. In war, it can sometimes play a decisive role!

Moreover, this man also seemed to have an extraordinary bearing and the demeanor of a master.

If they can be invited to join the Wu family, the balance of the world will be tilted towards the Wu family again!

Even if they guessed wrong, the strength of these two people is definitely not weak. In the current situation, one more master will increase the chance of victory.

Looking at Wu Xiaotian's appearance, Ren Pingsheng felt a little more understanding and certain about the Wu family and this small world.

"We are waiting in the mountains and fields, watching the sun and the moon go by, seeing the vastness of the stars and rivers, only the bright moon among the pines, and the breeze in the mountains and forests. When we hear them, we hear the sounds, and when we see them, we see the colors. I do not envy the prosperity of the world. , nor pursue the ultimate in martial arts."

As Ren Pingsheng spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it gently, as if he had caught a ray of breeze in the mountains, and his whole image suddenly lifted up.

Wu Xiaotian and the guards behind him all looked at Ren Pingsheng with a hint of admiration.

This is the style of a master hermit!

"but······"

Ren Pingsheng changed the topic at this time: "I am waiting on this mountain, sometimes quietly and thoughtfully. If the time is right, I can also go to the Wu Mansion to visit. The exploration of the mystery of heaven and earth, the southeast, northwest and four directions is what we feel most about." If you are interested, if there are any records about this in the Wu Mansion, I hope we can exchange some information in the future."

After saying that, he stood up and cupped hands with Wu Xiaotian to say goodbye.

"Of course! Of course!"

Wu Xiaotian also stood up, took off a bronze plaque from his waist, and said: "This is a token of my Wu Mansion. If you go down the mountain, sir, you can take this thing to the state capital. Everyone in my Wu Mansion knows this." The token will be properly received.”

"good."

Ren Pingsheng accepted the sign: "Sanhua, let's go."

After saying this, Ren Shengsheng touched the ground with his toes, and then he turned into a line of blue smoke, fell into the treetops of the mountain forest, and floated away.

"Qi practitioner!"

When the guard leader saw this, he couldn't help but his eyes widened in wonder!

Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard, and finally confirmed his guess, he was indeed a Qi practitioner from the Hidden Yuan Realm!

And there are still two of them!

I can't help but worry about gains and losses.

In the mountains, the two of them were extremely fast, and within a few minutes they had already surpassed the people of the Small World Imperial Court who were traveling through the mountains and forests.

Soon we were back at the edge of the fog.

"Abao, you watch the rope here. If someone comes here, don't be discovered by them."

Ren Pingsheng gave instructions and took Sanhua into the thick fog. (End of chapter)
