Ximen Qing was limping and staggering as he walked on the streets of Boulder City. Pedestrians on the street were avoiding him one after another, pointing at him from time to time, but no one came to help him.
He had just returned from Jinlong Ridge on the eastern outskirts of Boulder City. At this time, he was covered in blood and his clothes were in tatters. He seemed to have been seriously injured and might fall down at any time.
"Brother, what happened? Why are you so miserable?"
The person who spoke was Lin Feng. He was wandering around Boulder City with Shangguan Ruolan when he happened to run into the seriously injured Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing had been forced to come back. Now when someone spoke to him, his feet stopped. Before he could see the speaker clearly, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground and fainted. When he woke up,
It's already two days later
"where is this place?"
I don’t know how long it took, but Ximen Qingyou woke up and struggled to sit up from the bed, only to see that his body was covered with gauze.
Seeing the furnishings in the house, this should be an inn or a post house.
Who sent me out of here? Ximen Qing felt a little strange, but he vaguely remembered that someone had spoken to him before he fell into coma. As for what he said, he had long forgotten, but... who was this person? Right at Ximen
When Qing was still thinking about these problems, the door was opened. Ximen Qing looked up and saw that it was the waiter who came in carrying a kettle to fill the water.
"Guest, are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
"Well! It's okay, little brother, do you know who sent me here?"
Ximen Qing asked the question in his mind. He knew that the person who sent him here would send him to this inn and must live here, so it was right to ask the waiter.
"The person who sent you here is Mr. Lin who lives next door to you. Even your room and medical expenses were paid for by Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is such a good person. If you hadn't met him, you might still be on the street now.
He’s lying on the bed”
"Young Master Lin? From what you said, this Young Master Lin is really a good man! Second brother, do you know where this Young Master Lin is now? I want to meet him."
"If you want to see Mr. Lin, you have to wait until night. He is shopping with Miss Shangguan right now. Mr. Lin has given instructions. If you need anything, just call me."
As the waiter said, he went out with the empty kettle. Ximen Qing was lying on the bed, thinking about who Mr. Lin was. But in this world where the strong are respected, it's not bad even if I don't kill you.
Who would be so kind to save you? He really can’t figure it out. Could it be that he has some intention? No, even if he kills himself and sells his meat, he still can’t sell a single gold ingot. What are you trying to do? Maybe he really
Just meet a good person
In the evening, Lin Feng and Shangguan Ruolan returned to the inn with large and small bags of things. As soon as they entered the door, a man wrapped in white cloth and looked like a mummy came up to them. Who could that be if it wasn't Ximen Qing?
"This is Brother Lin, and this must be my sister-in-law. I am in Ximenqing. I would like to thank Brother Lin and sister-in-law for their life-saving kindness that day. I have already asked people to prepare wine and food. I hope that Brother Lin and sister-in-law will thank you.
ah!"
"Haha, Brother Ximen's injury hasn't healed yet. I think we should drink this wine another day!"
"That's not possible. The food and drinks are ready. Brother Lin, you still have to show off your face today!"
"Well, since Brother Ximen is so kind, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse, please!"
Lin Feng laughed and imitated Ximen Qing's tone.
When Ximen Qing heard Lin Feng agreed, he quickly signaled the waiter to serve the food quickly and then took Lin Feng and Shangguan Ruolan to his room...
"Brother Lin, in order to thank you and your sister-in-law for saving your life, I would like to toast you two!"
"Hey, Brother Ximen, you're so polite, go ahead! By the way, Brother Ximen, I saw you on the street that day with injuries all over your body. How could you be so miserable? Could it be that you encountered some super monster?" Lin Feng poured a glass of wine into his cup.
After drinking all the wine, he asked
"Alas! This is so hard to describe." Ximen Qing picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then talked about the cause of the matter.
Ximen Qing is twenty-six years old this year. He is just a very ordinary local young man in Boulder City. Although it is very common to cultivate immortals in Boulder City, because he was born without a spirit bone, he wanted to become a disciple and cultivate immortality, but no one wanted him.
, but fortunately he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and finally became a free bounty hunter out of frustration.
However, although freedom is freedom, the commission is less than others, because the danger of a high-commission mission must be directly proportional to his bounty. The higher the bounty, the higher the risk. With Lin Feng,
Ordinary people must not even think about it, so every day they take on simple tasks of helping people find kittens and puppies. Naturally, the bounty is not very large.
Half a month ago, he accepted a mission to go to Jinlongling to retrieve the head of a remnant bandit leader named Qin Zhuo. The reward was as high as one hundred taels of gold.
When Ximen Qing saw that the bonus was so high, he immediately exposed the list.
When he came to Longling and fought Qin Zhuo, he realized that he was no match for them. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape from there. Maybe his life should not have been cut off.
When Lin Feng and Shangguan Ruolan heard this, they basically understood what was going on.
"Hehe, brother Ximen dares to take on even high-level tasks. He must be very good at it. I want to give him some advice when I have time someday."
"No, I just practiced for a few days when I was a teenager. Now I am busy with my daily life and have no time to practice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost so miserably. But fortunately, Qin Zhuo's cultivation level is not that bad.
Why is it so high? Otherwise, we will be buried in the wilderness." Ximen Qing said and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Ximen is too humble. Qin Zhuo's head is worth a hundred taels of gold, which shows that his skills are definitely not weak. Otherwise, he would have been defeated. Brother Ximen was able to escape from his hands, which shows that his skills are not as good as those of others."
He is weak, maybe they are relying on the large number of people? If it were me, I might not be able to escape, so Brother Ximen doesn’t have to worry about it."
"Brother Lin is really good at predicting things. In the Shenlong Valley of Jinlong Ridge, more than forty of them besieged me alone. I fought with them for more than three hundred rounds and killed more than ten of them. Unfortunately, I was outnumbered. I was
Qin Zhuo was injured by that weird weapon, and his life was in danger of being able to escape." When Ximen Qing talked about the battle in Shenlong Valley, his face changed slightly, as if he was still frightened by the battle that day.
"Oh? Weird weapon? Brother Ximen, can you tell me about it?"
Lin Feng seemed to be quite interested in that weird weapon, so he wanted to ask Ximen Qing to tell him more details. Ximen Qing took a sip of wine, paused, and then slowly told Lin Feng the appearance of the weird weapon in detail:
The appearance is somewhat similar to a sword, but it is actually a sword. The hilt is about two feet long. The end of the hilt is a snake head. The snake's two eyes are actually two rubies. The guard is round and has Tai Chi patterns on it.
The sword body is red in color, about two meters long, and is covered with fish scales. Of course, it could also be snake scales, and the sword body is wavy, like a swimming snake.
"Oh, it looks weird, but it should be a sword. I'll have to get it if I have the chance."
"I heard that Qin Zhuo said that the sword was called Disha. Is Brother Lin interested in that sword? How about we cooperate and destroy the bandits? Although Qin Zhuo is powerful, we should be able to kill him if we work together.
Yes, as for those little minions, there is nothing to fear."
When Ximen Qing heard that Lin Feng was interested in that sword, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. He asked Lin Feng to form a team, and it would be much easier to do tasks in the future.
"Brother Ximen seems to want to kill Qin Zhuo. Is there anything else that Brother Ximen hasn't said yet?"
Lin Feng looked at Ximen Qing with a smile, making Ximen Qing feel uncomfortable all over.
"To be honest, Brother Lin, although the bonus for this task I accepted is high, the time is limited. If you can't complete it by then, you will have to pay the same amount of money. Brother, I have worked hard for several years to earn it.
It's only seventy or eighty taels of gold. If I don't kill Qin Zhuo, I will be in trouble, and I will have to be captured as a coolie."
"Well, it turns out that's the case, but I don't know anything. I wonder if I can help Brother Ximen."
