Chapter 70 Mu Zhu Book Ming Qitian
Shang Lang found the target fastest among all the people.
Even though they fought almost all night last night and suffered several injuries, Shang Lang was still one of the top combat powers under Grandmaster Feng Huai.
The martial arts he has practiced are particularly good at quick recovery and resilience under injury and fatigue. At this time, he can naturally handle these things with ease.
The place where he is is Qingfeng Alley, which is an old street. Judging from the houses, the residents are generally wealthier. Along the way, there are many shops on the street, such as Li Ji Tailor, Lao Lu Liquor Shop, Lao Jiang Jewelry... like It is the most "prosperous" place in the city.
However, there were still few people on the street, so Shang Lang noticed something strange at a glance.
A girl in her twenties ran into the jewelry store.
It is normal for a girl to buy jewelry, but this girl was rushed in with a big dog.
"Dahei! Stop! Dahei!"
The girl was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She was staggering and running while being led by the dog leash. Suddenly she made a sharp turn and looked up. The big dog jumped into the shop on the street.
"Ah! Dahei! Don't mess with other people's things!"
The girl was pulled into the door and almost tripped over the threshold. Before she could adjust, her body was suddenly pulled away again - the dog actually jumped directly into the jewelry cabinet.
There was a crashing sound of silver beads falling to the ground, crystals breaking into pieces, and the girl's heart went cold. The shopkeeper was so frightened by the big black beast that suddenly rushed in that he jumped out of the counter.
The black dog grabbed something from the jewelry stand. When he turned around, a pair of blue eyes like will-o'-the-wisps frightened the girl to scream. She let go of the rope and collapsed to the ground.
After the dog caught such an object in its mouth, it seemed that it had completed its mission. It dropped the object on the ground and opened its sharp teeth to pounce on the girl.
"Ah!! Dahei!!" The girl screamed, suddenly her body became light, and she flew backwards, with a figure blocking the front.
Shang Lang clamped the dog's mouth with one hand and used his body to block the mutating dog's body. He turned around and said, "You seem to be a crazy dog. I will pay for the loss here. You can go home."
"Ah? But, but..." The girl was sitting on the street and wanted to say something. Her collar was tightened and she was dragged away by a strong arm.
Shang Lang turned around and saw the shopkeeper lying on the ground, staring blankly at the hideous dog body with bone spurs in his hand.
Shang Lang grinned sheepishly: "Just think of it as a dream."
The real energy in the hand penetrated fiercely from the dog's mouth, interrupting the life of this thing.
Throwing it on the ground, Shang Lang picked up the thing that it had held in its mouth before. In his hand, it was a wood-carved bead the size of a walnut.
"What is this?" Shang Lang asked the shopkeeper.
"Yellow flower wood, dragon and phoenix beads, ornaments."
Shang Lang looked at the light and found that the carving was passable, but it could not be called exquisite, and the polished surface was not bright and smooth.
He squeezed it hard and cracked it open. There was still wood inside, nothing unusual.
…
Zheng Zhaoze came to Laohe Road.
There are many houses here, but they are arranged very neatly, and there is not much cover in the lane. He jumped on the roof of the tall tree, and pedestrians came and went, but he didn't see anything unusual.
‘Is it at home? ’
But if something strange happens at home, how can the family not discover it?
Zheng Zhao jumped down, held a pedestrian in his arms, showed his waistband and asked: "Which family here has the least amount of people?"
"How few people are there? They all live together as a family, so there are many families." The passerby asked in confusion, "What do you want to ask, sir?"
Zheng Zhao frowned: "Whose family only has one or two people at home at this time?"
The passerby thought for a moment and said: "This...ah! I understand, the official is looking for the Zhao family compound! His family has all moved to the prefecture and county, leaving only old man Lin to look after the house."
"Which one?"
"The biggest..."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zhao had already jumped up and floated straight towards the mansion.
The pedestrian seemed to feel that a big kite was suddenly blown away in front of him. He was so startled that he took a step back. When he turned his head, the "kite" was already in the sky.
"Mother..." The passerby was stunned and speechless.
Zheng Zhao stepped on the roof of the Zhao family's courtyard. The gray walls and black eaves here did indeed appear more noble than other homes. This was a three-entry house, lonely and silent, but traces of regular cleaning could indeed be seen.
Zheng Zhao listened attentively, and a subtle sound from a house reached his ears. He floated down gently, landed outside the house, and peeked through the window.
I saw that the room was full of books. A rickety old man was walking stiffly between the bookshelves. Occasionally, he turned around and a pair of blue eyes flashed past.
Zheng Zhao made a waiting gesture to his companion and quietly walked into the room.
He followed the old man step by step like a ghost, until the old man stopped in front of a bookshelf.
Zheng Zhao looked up and saw a big "武" written on the top of the bookshelf.
The old man took out a book and completed his mission.
The "dragon meat" that was no longer hidden began to be infected wantonly, and the old man's face suddenly became ferocious, and his scales and horns gradually grew.
But this change only happened for a second, and with a "bang" sound, its head was smoothly cut off to the floor.
Zheng Zhao caught the book. The words on the cover were "A Brief Talk on Gao Miao Martial Arts".
Zheng Zhao flipped through the book. As the name suggests, some half-hearted person listed all the "powerful martial arts" he had heard of. The arrangement is chaotic, internal strength is compared with swordsmanship, Kunlun is juxtaposed with the bandit village, and the descriptions are mostly distorted. The sources are all imaginary legends in the streets.
Zheng Zhao looked through it and found that there was no sandwich, so he put it in his arms and went back to the county office.
…
Wang Yunzhang came to the big willow tree.
This is a place where people nearby often sit and sit. At this time, there are also three or five old men sitting and chatting. As soon as he arrived here, he found his target - the man was running straight on the street.
He asked his companions to go ahead and clear the way so as not to involve the people, while he tied it behind him to see where it went.
However, the further we walked, the more things seemed wrong.
Firstly, it ran for too long, and secondly, if it continued in this direction, wouldn't it be back to the county government?
At this time, two figures, one green and one white, appeared in front. I don't know how Xing Zhi and Xu Weizhou talked, but it seemed that Ming Qitian and Xu Weizhou finally left the city to meet the enemy.
The companion of Qingdao in front was already explaining the situation to the two of them. Wang Yunzhang was about to take two steps forward when he suddenly saw it suddenly charge up, leap up with one step, and go straight towards Ming Qitian!
Then he was slapped on the ground by Xu Weizhou. This body was stepped on by Xu Weizhou, and he saw that the changes had begun.
Wang Yunzhang rushed over, looked at Ming Qitian with some anxiety and strangeness, rubbed his hands and said: "Well... Ming Sword Master, I may have to ask you to go back to the county office again..."
Mingqi Tianshang didn't speak, and Xu Weizhou's face darkened first.
Ming Qitian nodded. Xing Zhi had already told her that she might ask her to take something with her, so she immediately changed her steps.
Xu Weizhou also turned around. Wang Yunzhang was stunned for a moment and said: "Xu Biejia, you don't have to go back."
Xu Weizhou stopped and his face turned darker.
