At noon, in the oasis where the temple where An Guoxie died was located, a shop assistant frowned. Something was wrong. Uncle An Guo entered the temple last night, but he still hasn't come out yet. According to usual practice, he
I'll come over and hang out for a while!
He waited for a few more hours, and saw that the sky was as dark as fire, and the ground in front of him was golden. It was already sunset, but An Guoxie hadn't come over to wander around yet. He became more and more anxious, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
The waiter retreated into the store and left through the back door, but he had changed his clothes, wearing a white burqa and a white bun, looking like a typical Shaqi.
He walked very quickly through the town, bypassed the small lake, and arrived at the area where the palace was originally located. Then, he stepped into the temple where he watched An Guoxie enter last night.
As soon as he entered the temple, his heart sank rapidly. Even though a long time had passed, the air was still filled with the faint smell of blood and an indescribable and uncomfortable smell.
Using the light of the setting sun, he searched for traces on the ground inch by inch. Suddenly, his eyes froze. There were faint dark black patches on the ground in front of the tattered statue.
Although it was obvious that someone had dealt with the traces, the splattered blood was hidden very deep. If the sunset light didn't happen to shine on this place at this time, making it look special, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.
The horse bandit who used his identity as a gangster stood stunned. Without checking, he could guess that this was Uncle An Guo's blood. He was probably no longer in this world. After all, if he killed someone else, why bother to deal with the traces? As long as he
Instead of killing the boss's relatives, the disciples favored by the ancestors, the direct descendants or important figures of the Snow Mountain Sect, Vajra Temple, Shura Temple, Huanxi Temple, who can do anything to him?
Things have gotten serious... The horse bandit spy sighed deeply in his heart, this was no longer something he could handle!
One of the two most favored disciples of the ancestor, a well-known master with all nine apertures opened, was actually killed so silently?
The murderer's strength is definitely far beyond his imagination!
He searched carefully for a while, but found no other clues, so he did not dare to delay, quietly walked around the store, and wrote a letter in detail about what he saw, heard and his guesses.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Crying Old Man was dead. Although Luo Ju was an expert on location, he was not really strong in the field after all, and his influence was far less than that of the Crying Old Man.
Once the news of the Crying Old Man's death spreads, I'm afraid not many people will be wary of horse bandits like them anymore, and even more people will join forces to deal with people like them who are related to the Crying Old Man in order to flatter and win over Xuan Bei.
At night, he jumped to the woods next to the small lake, pinched his lower lip, and whistled. After three long and two short seconds, a strange bird with a white top and black feathers flew out of the forest and landed happily on his shoulder.
A pat on the head, very affectionate.
The horse bandit exchanged feelings with the strange bird for a while, fed it a few sticks of fresh meat, then tied the letter to its feet and let it flap its wings and fly high into the sky.
The horse bandit stayed there for a long time, then sighed softly and quietly returned to the store.
The next day, he went to the store to see what was being sold as usual. In the evening, just as he was about to close the door under the instructions of the shopkeeper, a tall middle-aged man appeared in front of his eyes.
He has short thick hair, a full beard, a black eyepatch over his left eye, and a long, narrow black saber on his waist.
"Boss." The horse bandit lowered his head and shouted respectfully, using the language of the Western Regions instead of the unwritten Jin language on the trade routes.
This person is Zeroju, one of the three horse bandits in the Hanhai, a disciple of the crying old man and a master of the exterior scene, nicknamed the "Evil Sword of the Hanhai".
Zeluoju's voice was hoarse and had a special magnetism. He also said in the language of the Western Regions: "Where is the temple?"
An Guoxie is a master of all nine apertures. He is one of the two most powerful people in the Crying Old Man lineage, besides Zeluo Ju and Yanshi. His death is of great importance, so after Zeluo Ju received the secret letter, he
Came here in person.
The bandit didn't dare to say anything. He glanced at the shopkeeper and found that he didn't know anything about it. It seemed that there was no such person as Zeluo Ju at the door of the shop. He suddenly sighed in his heart, it was indeed the evil sword of the Hanhai.
He quickly closed the shop door, left from the back, and entered the temple with Zeluoju.
Zeluoju looked at the hard-to-find bloodstains on the ground and slowly took off his eye mask. His empty left eye suddenly lit up with a faint green light. There seemed to be fish-like things swimming around inside, and the temple suddenly became agitated.
There were echoes of the ghosts of injustice, and it became dark and sinister.
His left eye was gouged out by the crying old man, but as a blessing in disguise, he mastered an extremely difficult magic skill - "Netherworld Evil Eye", which is also one of the origins of the nickname of the Evil Sword.
The green light became brighter and brighter, and the whole temple seemed to be reflected in a green light, which was eerie and terrifying. The horse bandit was trembling with fear and trembling.
Zeluoju looked at it for a while, then turned around and walked out of the temple, slowly walking to the small lake. Then he raised his hand, and a strong wind blew up, causing a sudden whirlpool in the lake.
With a crash, the whirlpool expanded rapidly, erupted violently, white waves rose into the sky, and two stones were brought up.
A headless corpse and a broken head were tied to the stone.
The horse bandit took a closer look. Although the corpse's face had been bitten to pieces by fish swimming in the lake, the iconic white hair clearly proved that he was An Guoxie and had indeed been killed!
"Well done, I've wanted to kill this bastard for a long time."
Zeluoju said in a calm voice:
"But no matter how hard it is to kill, we have to do it!"
His "Netherworld Evil Eye" was unable to identify injuries, so he put on the eyepatch again and squatted next to the corpse to examine it carefully.
"There are scars between the eyebrows and cheeks, but they were deliberately damaged and eaten by fish. It is impossible to confirm what kind of martial arts caused them, and it is impossible to confirm whether they were fatal..."
Zeluoju whispered as if he was talking to himself, but the horse bandit wisely did not answer the question.
"There are hidden weapon scars, the body was poisoned, and the heart was severely damaged as a result. It is regarded as one of the main causes of death. There are traces of poisonous gas remaining in the meridians and signs of the internal energy dissipating before death..."

"The bones are completely softened, which should be done when dodging swords. If the dog can achieve this level, either his strength will completely suppress him, or he will come in a hurry and be unable to react in time... The Kuangsha Magic Skill has signs of adverse luck. Combined with the above, it should be treated as a counterattack
If his strength can suppress the effects of toxins and poisonous gas, there is no need to go to such trouble..."
Zeluoju clapped his hands, stood up, and said to the horse bandit:
"The murderer's strength is no more than six orifices. He is good at using poisons and concealed weapons. He is tolerant and should be very good at swordsmanship and swordsmanship. An Guoxie made a mistake on his own and was not careful. He was smoked with San Gong poison gas and took advantage of him.
He was not prepared to make a sudden attack. The sword was a cover, and the ultimate hidden weapon was the cause of death. However, from the fact that he deliberately destroyed the scars on the sword, it seems that there is a unique skill in swordsmanship, which cannot be ignored."
"Boss, it should be the young monk. Judging from his age, he is probably just opening his eyesight. What should we do?"
The horse bandit asked.
"Don't take it lightly. I will pass down the order and all brothers in the vast sea will kill this thief together."
Zeluoju had to deal with many matters in Hanhai. He saw that the murderer was not as strong as he thought and relied on many tricks to kill An Guoxie, so he did not think of chasing him down personally.
But even so, it is also a very terrifying thing for one-third of the horse bandits in the vast sea to search, hunt, kill and kill!
Among these horse bandits, there are countless masters, and they are all desperadoes. They are familiar with the terrain, roar and gather people, and communicate with each other. If they are attacked by a group of horse bandits, they will not be able to escape from the vast sea in time or hide their whereabouts. Even if they open nine
Even the most skilled masters may hate this place.
"Yes, boss."
The horse bandit did not dare to look directly into Zeluoju's right eye, which was as sharp as a knife.
He didn't care at all about the death of his disciple, and even wished he could kill An Guoxie himself. This shows how cruel Ze Luo Ju's character is.
At Liushaji, Meng Qi in white Confucian robes and Gu Changqing, who looked like a frail scholar, returned on horseback, like two scholars traveling far away.
"We're finally here." Gu Changqing sighed.
On the way, he made several mistakes and arrived at Liushaji one day later than expected.
The corners of Meng Qi's mouth twitched. This guy seemed a bit unreliable. Would he be making his own trouble by relying on him to search for his junior brother in the depths of the vast sea?
"Well, we're finally here." Meng Qi no longer used the words of a monk.
Hearing Meng Qi's answer, Gu Changqing said awkwardly and politely: "My experience is relatively shallow. It's not that I don't know enough about the terrain and location. Look, didn't I end up at Quicksand Ji after all?"
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded considerately.
Poplar trees stand in various shapes along the roadside. Liushaji seems to have got rid of the influence of the battle between Xuanbei and the crying old man that day, and has regained a lot of popularity.
Meng Qi and Gu Changqing walked into the "First Home in Hanhai" together. They first saw the counter next to them, and they saw Qu Jiuniang, who looked beautiful and mature but had a bad personality.
Qu Jiuniang ignored her and lay on the counter with a lazy and seductive look. Many customers swallowed their saliva but did not dare to look more.
"Shopkeeper, I want to get some news." Meng Qi wore a gauze hat to hide the fact that he had no hair.
"No news." Qu Jiuniang said simply and without wanting to say anything more. This is a place to eat and stay, not a place to inquire about news!
Meng Qi once again had the urge to teach her how to be a good person. It was too bad, but thinking that she might be a master of location, he still held back his anger and took out an emerald: "Shopkeeper, I am willing to pay a high price."
As soon as she saw this emerald of obviously extraordinary quality, Qu Jiuniang's eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole body suddenly became energetic and became more and more charming.
"Take it out as soon as possible. It's easier to talk to someone if you have money!" Qu Jiuniang said, hating that iron cannot become steel.
This was the first time she looked directly at Meng Qi since she came in. As soon as she finished speaking, her face changed slightly. She looked at Meng Qi carefully from head to toe, looking at his eyes, his ears, and...
After passing his skin, looking at his hands, looking at the dark red sword hanging on his waist and the long sword wrapped in a light gold scabbard, Meng Qi felt uneasy. What on earth was she looking at?
?
Qu Jiuniang secretly thought:
"He is worthy of being recommended by that monster. His strength has improved so quickly, and it seems that he escaped from An Guoxie by himself!"
His evaluation of Meng Qi in his heart improved again.
Then, Qu Jiuniang's face recovered and she said indifferently: "Since you want to inquire about the news, then go to the room to avoid being overheard."
Meng Qi had no objection at all to this. The information he inquired about might reveal his identity. There were probably horse bandits and spies here.
Qu Jiuniang walked out of the counter and walked upstairs first. Her waist was slender and her back was graceful. She walked gracefully, like a willow supported by a weak wind. Meng Qi and Gu Changqing hurriedly followed her.
Some guests laughed in a low voice: "When did you have to go to the room to inquire about information? I remember Jiuniang never had such a rule?"
"It turns out that Jiuniang likes pretty girls like this. Eat them and wipe them clean. They are the most nourishing, hehe." They laughed so obscenely.
Qu Jiuniang's eyebrows stood up when she heard this. She picked up the wooden basin that the waiter was cleaning the table with and splashed it over: "Go nourish your mother!"
Suddenly, the few guests who were talking were soaked in the rain, with strands of hair sticking to their faces, their clothes soaked and clinging to their bodies, and they were in an unusual state of embarrassment, while the food and wine in front of them were naturally soaked.
It's a shameful waste... Meng Qi has to take into account the rules in Changhua Temple and maintain the image of a monk in front of Duan Xiangfei and others. He hasn't eaten meat seriously for two months and only sneaks out occasionally at night.
, caught some wild animals, grilled them by themselves, and made tooth sacrifices. Due to the incomplete seasoning and poor craftsmanship, the taste was really unsatisfactory.
After coming back, he and Gu Changqing traveled to Hanhai, relying on dry food to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't even know the taste of meat. Therefore, after entering the "first restaurant in Hanhai", the tangy smell of meat made him hungry, and he had already swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
.
Qu Jiuniang glanced at the soaked food and wine, and snorted: "Eat it if you want, or get out if you don't."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, without looking back, he walked upstairs.
Meng Qi looked away reluctantly, telling himself that he would have it later, and quickly followed Jiuniang.
Those guests were also businessmen who came to Hanhai all the time, and could be considered regular customers of the first Hanhai family. At this time, they looked at each other with no surprise and laughed.
"Haha, I just like Jiuniang to be so spicy!"
"That's right, those little girls don't smell like Jiuniang. Alas, it's a pity that it wasn't her foot-washing water just now."
Hearing these words, Meng Qi couldn't help but wipe cold sweat for them. If he kept saying this, he might see their bodies in the vast sea tonight.
Qu Jiuniang didn't seem to hear anything, pushed open a guest room and walked in. She sat on the bedside with a golden sword, watched Meng Qi and Gu Changqing carefully close the door, and then said with a half-smile:
"You are so courageous. You dare to go back to Liushaji after being ordered to kill you with the evil sword by Zeluoju. To tell you the truth, there are five horse bandit spies among the guests below, and two of them are subordinates of Zeluoju."
Meng Qi didn't expect to be able to hide it from Qu Jiuniang, who had once met him face to face, even though he was disguised in a non-professional manner. At any rate, she also heard that it was an outdoor scene: "The young monk rushed back specifically to find out which direction the junior brother is leaving? The master and the crying old man.
Where did the battle end?”
Qu Jiuniang's expression was cold, her eyes were moving, and she was intoxicated. Of course, her target was not Meng Qi, but the emerald in Meng Qi's hand: "One question, one gem."
I'll go, you go grab it! Meng Qi cursed, but still took out a gem as red as blood and a crystal green gem: "Three questions."
Who said this is a monopoly business? Going to inquire will only expose the secrets!
Qu Jiuniang looked at the three gems without blinking: "The place where they last fought was 'Bomi'. It was a dangerous place in the vast sea, where evil people gathered. The young monk was heading due west, probably chasing them...
…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fragrant wind filled his nostrils and refreshed his heart and lungs. Meng Qi's eyes were dazzled, and all three gems in his hand fell into Qu Jiuniang's hands.
"There is one question left." Meng Qi fought hard for his rights.
Qu Jiuniang played with the gem in her hand with blurred eyes, and said impatiently: "Ask me quickly."
"What is the evil sword pursuit order? Where is the current trace of the master?" Meng Qi asked with concern.
Qu Jiuniang raised her head suddenly, with an expression that said, "Don't bully me for my poor skills:"
"Those are two questions."
Ahem, Meng Qi coughed, took out a piece of jade, and threw it to Qu Jiuniang. There was not much jewelry left from An Guoxie.
Qu Jiuniang's black and white eyes were shining brightly. She looked at the jade with concentration and waved to catch it. Such eyes, combined with her mature and beautiful appearance and figure, if used on men, Meng Qi doubted that many could resist it.
Liveable.
"After the death of the crying old man, Xuanbei seemed to be following your traces, but it seemed that he was led away by an unknown existence, heading towards the depths of the Western Region!"
Qu Jiuniang put away the gem with satisfaction and continued:
"The evil sword pursuit order is a symbol of Zeluoju's dominance over the vast sea. It is used to deal with enemies that are important but not worthy of his time. As soon as the evil sword pursuit order comes out, the horse bandits who surrender to him in the vast sea will go alone.
The gang of thieves will all chase this person like crazy because Zeluoju will satisfy his demands that are not excessive."
