Chapter 28 Fishing in troubled waters
The five men in black were walking very fast, and the weapons in their hands glowed coldly under the moonlight. They were already approaching.
I saw an old man in gray robe on the young man's side stepped forward, made a magic formula in one hand, and held a fire stick in the other. He blew out a ball of fire in one breath, and then shook his hand. The fire turned into five small fireballs, and shot To the five people who came to kill.
The five people were unable to dodge and were hit by the fireball almost at the same time, and their clothes immediately burned.
The five people kept beating their chests, but they still couldn't extinguish the fire, so they had to lie down and roll on the ground, which made the young man laugh again.
"It's just fire control, don't be so arrogant!"
With an angry shout, the half-naked strong man rushed towards the old man. Several balls of fire flew out and hit the strong man, but the man didn't care.
"Copper skin and iron bones?"
The old man in gray robe was also slightly shocked, "I didn't expect there to be a master."
While he was talking, another old man in green robes who followed the young man also made his handprints and muttered something. A slender column of water suddenly spurted out from a light yellow gourd on his waist, heading straight for the strong man with "copper skin and iron bones". go.
When the strong man saw the water column coming, he ignored it and still wanted to resist. However, when the water column hit him, he made a crisp sound. As if he had been hit hard, he actually took a few steps back to regain his footing.
Although the fight between the two sides was electric and flint, Xu Fu was stunned when he saw it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turns out that there are such mysterious spells in the world, it was really an eye-opener.
The old man in green swung out another water column, hitting the people in front of him and sending them flying. Those who were hit had their skin and flesh torn open, as if there were sharp thorns on the water column.
"Water Vine Whip? It's the sixth grade!"
One person stared at the old man in green and gritted his teeth to remind everyone not to act rashly. Although there are fifth-level physical practitioners with "copper skin and iron bones" to help, it is not enough to deal with sixth-level masters.
"Sixth grade?" Yu Qinglan said slightly surprised: "It seems that this guy has a certain background. The guards are all sixth grade."
Xu Fu is not as calm as Yu Qinglan. This is the first time he has encountered a master of the sixth grade. Especially the two old men also used very brilliant spells. This makes Xu Fu, who has never seen much of the world, very excited. If It wasn't that the situation was dangerous, he would have gotten in on it.
"With this little skill, you still want to imitate others in robbery?"
The young man smiled and yawned, and then said, "It's better not to delay my sleep."
"Thank you, sir!"
A deep voice sounded from among the men in black, which sounded very clear in the quiet wilderness.
"Den!"
A strange slight sound came from a distance, as if one hand was covering the strings while the other hand was forcibly plucking them.
Look at the old man in green who had just used the water cane whip. At some point, a short arrow appeared on his chest. The arrow penetrated his body. The sharp arrow had completely passed through his body and was exposed behind him. Blood dripped rapidly along the arrow.
"Dark...demon!"
Everyone was shocked, and the old man who was hit by the arrow looked at the black arrow feather on his chest in disbelief. After uttering these two words, he fell straight down.
"what……"
The young man who looked like he was watching a play was already hiding behind the old man in gray clothes in fear. The old man in gray clothes had no time to grieve for his old friend, so he quickly gathered a large ball of fire and placed it in front of him, concentrating on alert.
This arrow immediately turned the originally clear situation upside down.
"We are from the Ling family in the northwest, and we hope that you will show your kindness. The Ling family will definitely accept your favor." The old man in gray said in a deep voice.
There was silence all around, no one responded.
The old man looked at the men in black in front of him. Although a few were injured, the master who practiced "copper skin and iron bones" was not seriously injured. His old friend who was able to restrain him was now dead. Even if the archer stopped taking action, now This situation is probably also very dangerous. The old man now only hopes that these people can take care of the Ling family's face and let the two of them go.
"Hand over the skills, can you let us have a way out?" The old man in gray said solemnly. He knew very well why these people came. Although the seventh-level skills were really exciting, nothing mattered about their lives.
"The Ling family in the northwest is the richest in the world. We can't afford to offend such a powerful family. It's safer to eradicate it." As soon as a man in black finished speaking, several people took action at the same time and pounced on the old man.
"Master, let's go!" The old man growled, opened his hands, and turned the fire in front of him into a dark red wall of fire, blocking everyone.
A man in black tried to rush over quickly with his body skills, but his skin and bones were burned to pieces in an instant, and he was beyond recognition. Another man tried to get around, but was hit on the head by a ball of fire and rolled on the ground in pain.
This move shocked the men in black, and even the strong man did not dare to step forward rashly. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a fight between the old man and a trapped beast. To cast such a large-scale spell regardless of losses would inevitably He couldn't hold on for long. Even if the young man was allowed to run for half an hour, how far could he run in vain?
Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry and slowly waited for the old man in gray to run out of oil.
The young man didn't seem to know much about movement, and he stumbled and disappeared into the night.
Sure enough, in less than half a stick of incense, the wall of fire gradually weakened and dissipated, but the old man still maintained the posture of controlling the fire, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he remained motionless.
No one dared to step forward, so one person kicked up a stone and threw it at the old man, hitting the old man in the chest. The old man fell down like a dead old tree, actually dead.
Without any obstruction, a few quick ones hurriedly chased the young man who had fled. The few remaining people either bandaged the wounds of the injured or removed traces of the fight in an orderly manner.
After a stick of incense, the depression became empty again, even the blood stains were buried cleanly, as if nothing had happened.
……
"Why can't I find it?"
In the west of Shangyang City, a thunderous roar came from a large house.
The head of the Meng family, Meng Zhi, was uneasy until midnight. The last thing he wanted to see happened happened. The boy from the Ling family in the northwest ran away?
As a sixth-grade monk who has been stuck in a bottleneck for more than ten years, Meng Zhi's energy and energy have begun to decline. His original black hair has also turned a lot whiter in the past two years. He knows very well that if he can't break through the bottleneck, he may not be able to break through the bottleneck for the rest of his life. We can only stop here.
No one needs the seventh-level skills more than him. This time, Yi Baoxing is going to sell the seventh-level skills. He has already received the news. For him, it is a timely help.
Meng Zhi was destined to win, even if he spent all his wealth, but in the end, the reason why he watched this skill slip away from his eyes was because he didn't have enough money?
It was the first time that Meng Zhi felt that he was a poor person. In desperation, he had no choice but to take a desperate risk. Not only did he spend a lot of money to hire a group of killers, but he also went to the city lord's mansion to ask for help. After paying a price that almost bankrupted his family, the last news he got was that the person was missing. How could Meng not let Meng know this? Zhi was furious.
Now that things have happened, it's no big deal that the seventh-level skills are gone. If you anger a behemoth like the Ling family, the consequences are naturally unimaginable.
"Look again! Send everyone out, we must find it before dawn!" Meng Zhi gave the order, and the entire Meng Mansion became busy.
Shangyang City, inside an inn.
"Who are you? How much do you want? I am the second young master of the Ling family, and I will give you whatever you want!"
The speaker was none other than Ling Ao, the young master of the Ling family who was supposed to be captured by the man in black. At this time, his face was pale and his tone was anxious. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the danger just now.
It was Xu Fu and Yu Qinglan who saved people. The two of them were extremely skilled in physical skills. Together they took Ling Ao in a large circle and returned to Shangyang City from another city gate. No wonder Meng Zhi's people couldn't find him.
"Knowing that someone is interested in you, you deliberately lead them outside the city. You are too arrogant."
Yu Qinglan finally managed to catch his breath. This was the first time he led someone to perform footwork, and he was really tired.
"I didn't expect that I would meet someone from the Dark Devil here." Ling Ao said with a heavy breath. This trip was smooth sailing and quite boring. This led to the previous "fishing" Games, who would have thought that I almost lost my life in a moment of fun.
"Dark Devil?"
Xu Fu thought of the mysterious and strange black feather arrow, and his heart trembled.
"Prodigal!" Yu Qinglan scolded disdainfully, spending two million just for fun, this family is so corrupt that it can be said that they are crazy.
"You should take a rest first and wait until this matter has passed in two days before we talk about it." Xu Fu said calmly. This time the rescue was a rough road. If the news leaked out, it would be a big trouble. Yu Qinglan, who was also afraid of trouble, was particularly enthusiastic about rescuing people this time. The two of them rushed to save the young master of the Ling family before the man in black.
"Can you two take me home? I'll pay you as much as you want."
Ling Ao's eyes were still a little panicked. Now that he had no friends, he could only turn to the two young men in front of him who looked about the same age as him.
"One code equals one code. How will I save you this time?" Yu Qinglan asked before Xu Fu could answer.
"I don't have any money, all the money is with Mr. Feng." When Ling Ao spoke, he couldn't help but think of the bloody black-feathered arrow, his heart was filled with lingering fear, and his voice was trembling.
"Then the skill doesn't belong to you either?" Yu Qinglan said a little disappointed.
"Gong method?"
Ling Ao touched his chest and said, "It's here with me!" As he said that, he took out a yellowed book from his arms, with the words "Fire Wind Jue" written on the cover.
"As long as you can send me home, I'll give you this secret book. It's worth two million gold!" Ling Ao hurriedly gave Yu Qinglan the secret book of Gale Wind Technique and emphasized its value. He was afraid that the two of them would dislike him.
"Well, this can be regarded as the reward for saving you this time. As for whether we should give it to you, we will discuss it later." Yu Qinglan flipped through the secret book twice, pretending not to care, and then took Xu Fu to another place. In one room.
"Haha! Sure enough, I caught a fish!"
As soon as she entered the door, Yu Qinglan jumped up and down with excitement. She had been holding back her nerves just now, "Look what this fish looks like?"
Xu Fu also knew that the two of them were taking advantage of others' danger, but this technique was not a scam. It really saved the young man's life. He had no grudges in his heart and hurriedly dragged a chair over.
The two were just about to study this technique when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the wall. It was coming from Ling Ao. Yu Qinglan asked Xu Fu to take a look at the secret book. He went over to check it out and came back a moment later.
"What's the matter?" Xu Fu asked.
"You brat, why do you want me to sleep with him because he's afraid of the dark? He's looking for death!" Yu Qinglan said viciously with a dark face.
"It seems you were scared. Why are you being honest now?"
"Knocked out."
Xu Fu was speechless, but he didn't care about the young master of the Ling family. The seventh-grade Kung Fu book in front of him was a real top-grade Kung Fu book, which was very tempting to Xu Fu now.
Resisting the urge to read, they waited until Yu Qinglan came over and sat down together, then they couldn't wait to open the two million gold secret book of martial arts.
"Wind is formless, shapeless, indeterminate and without nature..."
Yu Qinglan yawned after just half a stick of incense, but seeing that Xu Fu was looking at it attentively, she was too embarrassed to walk away and forced herself to cheer up. Unexpectedly, with such concentration, he was actually attracted to this technique.
"Beep...beep...beep...beep!"
There were four sounds of banging clappers from the nearby street, and then a voice said: "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of the candle!"
Before I knew it, it was already the fourth watch.
At this moment, the two of them closed the last page and looked at each other with a smile. Unexpectedly, they finished reading it in one go.
In fact, this secret book is not very thick, mainly because Xu Fu is holding it back. He doesn't read many magic books on weekdays, and he has a vague understanding of many parts. Thanks to Yu Qinglan who is there to answer questions.
Closing the secret book, Xu Fu followed the instructions in the book and circulated his spiritual power, gathering it at his fingertips. Then he flicked his finger, and a blast of wind shot out, hitting the door frame not far away, leaving a shallow trail. of marks.
"you you……"
Yu Qinglan was stunned by Xu Fu, and she lost all sleepiness for a moment, "Why do you know how to use it after just one look?"
"It's just superficial." Xu Fu smiled sheepishly. Xu Fu carefully recited the Lie Feng Jue silently in his heart again, feeling the spiritual power flowing rapidly in his meridians, and felt inexplicably at ease in his heart.
There are not many techniques recorded in this technique, Feng Wan is just the simplest one, and the last technique, Great Gale Wind Sword, occupies half of the entire technique.
Because spells are restricted by cultivation, they are divided into grades. Just like alchemy, cultivation is the foundation of everything. The fact that Ji Feng Pill can be "bought and sold now" is also due to the alchemy technique taught by Li Danxin. Although the technique is not high-grade, it is extremely complicated to practice. In comparison, the Gale Wind Technique is a bit simple. , which made Xu Fu wonder if the two million secret book was fake, and then he popped out a wind pill and tried it.
Yu Qinglan's surprise didn't last long before it turned into surprise. The higher Xu Fu's talent, the better.
"It's almost dawn, let's take a nap." Xu Fu stretched and said to Yu Qinglan.
"Ah."
Yu Qinglan glanced at the only bed in the room, her face turned red, and she responded in a low voice.
Yu Qinglan was lying on the bed with her clothes on, but her heart couldn't calm down. But after waiting for a long time, Xu Fu didn't come over. She turned around and took a careful look, only to see Xu Fu sitting back at the table again, flipping through the books. When the secret book came, I felt angry for no reason.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Yu Qinglan asked.
"I'm not sleepy yet, you can go to sleep!" Xu Fu replied without raising his head.
"Humph!"
Yu Qinglan snorted angrily, pulled up the quilt and covered her head.
Xu Fu, however, didn't feel anything was wrong at all. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the secret book of exercises and studied every sentence carefully.
……
The rooster crowed several times and the sky was bright. Xu Fu closed the secret book and stretched hard. He finally knew the secret book by heart.
Seeing that Yu Qinglan hadn't gotten up yet, Xu Fu put away the secret book and tiptoed out of the door. He went to the next room to take a look. Ling Ao hadn't woken up yet. It seemed that Yu Qinglan had done something serious. Yunhua has been sleeping soundly since he ate the nameless spiritual root bought from Yibaoxing yesterday.
Although he didn't sleep a wink all night, Xu Fu didn't feel very sleepy. He washed his face and went out. He strolled to a busy breakfast shop and ate while listening to people chatting at several tables nearby.
"Have you heard? It seems that someone lost some great treasure yesterday, and it took a lot of trouble all night."
"Isn't that right? Several big families are on the move. I happened to pass by the city gate last night and saw many people running out of the city."
"Could it be that this treasure has been stolen? I don't know who is so capable?"
……
Xu Fu listened to the gossip at the stall and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, "seeing is believing, and hearing is false." Ordinary people would never imagine that it was these high-ranking and powerful families who were responsible for this conspiracy of wealth and murder.
After eating a lot, Xu Fu bought a few steamed buns and returned to the inn.
Maybe he slept too late, Yu Qinglan hadn't woken up yet, and there wasn't any movement from Leng Ao and Yue Hua.
Thinking that there was nothing to do today, Xu Fu didn't call them. He asked the waiter not to disturb them, and he came to Qingfeng Hall.
"What about people?"
Xu Fu came to Qingfeng Hall and found that the place where Fu Songgang had been sitting cross-legged was empty.
"Is there any accident?" Xu Fu suddenly became worried.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a person walked out of the back room.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Where is Hall Master Fu?" Xu Fu asked sharply.
