Yangzhou, Lingyi Prefecture, among the mountains and forests.
A handsome middle-aged man dressed in black is playing with the jade pendant in his hand.
This is the finest Hetian jade, both color and purity are the best choice.
The three characters "Wang Tingxuan" engraved on it are even more powerful and like jade.
This shows that it is the work of a famous artist.
In fact, this is the proud work of the famous Chu master Wang Tingxuan.
As a gift of encouragement, he gave this jade to his students. After several twists and turns, it found its way into the hands of the magistrate of Lingyi Prefecture in Yangzhou.
But now, it's easier for him.
The man pinned the jade to his gold-encrusted jade belt and shook out his robe.
But when the black robe was shaking, it was like black water floating, looking extremely noble.
This is Yangzhou’s famous brocade: black water silk!
You know, just one foot of black water silk costs a hundred taels of silver.
It goes without saying how much money it costs to pull out a piece of fabric that is enough to make clothes.
Moreover, this black water silk is extremely rare, has a price but no market, and is often not something that can be bought with money.
Why is there a man in black?
Naturally, he relies on his ability as a gentleman!
His reputation is extremely loud in Yangzhou Green Forest.
It is said that Yangzhou is so big that everything can be stolen!
Who else could shout such a nickname but still not be arrested by the government, or even sneak into the prefect's house to steal the jade pendant, except for the Yangzhou Thief Saint?
Yes, this person is none other than Yangzhou Pirate Saint Lu Ji.
Relying on the Qinggong method of walking on the moon and chasing stars with one hand, he can come and go freely in Yangzhou City and have a prosperous life.
His name could stop the children in Yangzhou from crying.
There are even rumors recently that he has done some earth-shattering things in Qiandu City!
Even the legendary palace treasure "The Map of Mountains and Rivers" came into his hands.
But to be honest, it's completely false.
In recent days, he has never left Yangzhou City, so how can he steal the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map"?
But even so, he never denied it.
After all, in the arena, the most important thing is a reputation!
Sometimes, the bigger the name, the more effective it is!
The matter of stealing the "Shanhe Sheji Tu", whether it is true or not, at least made him famous.
At least, for him, it was a rare good thing.
If this is the case, why deny it?
However, just when Lu Ji was feeling complacent.
A figure wearing armor appeared quietly behind him.
"The jade is nice, where did you steal it?"
Hearing a voice from behind, Lu Ji's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he turned around in panic. When he saw the person behind him, he was filled with shock.
I saw this man wearing armor, but he seemed to be weightless, just floating on a small branch of a giant bamboo.
When a layman looks at such a move, he will only admire his skill.
But while those in the know admire it, they are afraid that their livers and gallbladders will tremble.
Wearing something as heavy as armor, floating like feathers on the bamboo shoots, is difficult enough for outsiders to understand.
At least, Lu Ji asked himself and felt that he couldn't do it.
"Where are you friends from? Take your pulse!"
When Ji Ling heard this, he frowned slightly and said in surprise: "What pulse is it?"
When Lu Ji heard this, he moved his Qinggong under his feet and was already preparing to run away.
Hao Pulse is a slang term in Yangzhou green forest, which means reporting one's family status.
Since the person in front of me couldn't understand, it was obvious that he was not from Yangzhou, and that his martial arts skills were superior to his own. I'm afraid the person who came here was unkind.
"I wonder why you are looking for me?"
"Hand over the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" and follow me back to Qiandu City, and you will avoid death!" As soon as Ji Ling finished speaking, Lu Ji used the Star Chasing and Moon Movement to the extreme, and flew out like an arrow. .
Ji Ling burst out laughing when he saw this, his eyes full of teasing.
After a while, Lu Ji turned around with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Ling was not chasing him.
This person put too much pressure on him, more than anyone he had ever seen in the Yangzhou Green Forest!
When facing such people, the best solution is to run away!
Don't take any chances and run away.
Lu Ji did this, so he survived.
However, before he could be happy for long, he heard a calm voice coming from in front of him: "You just arrived? I almost fell asleep waiting."
Afterwards, Ji Ling walked out from the shadow of a tree, holding Ha Qie in his arms.
The look he looked at Lu Ji was still full of teasing.
Lu Ji ignored the other party's teasing, turned around and left, chasing the stars and the moon, flying several feet away in a few flashes.
But he was still worried, so he turned around and looked back, and regardless of the consumption of internal energy, he used the Chasing Stars and Chasing the Moon technique to the extreme.
Using the Chasing Stars and Chasing the Moon technique with all his strength in this way is also a big load for him.
After a while, his energy and blood surged up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. At this point, Lu Ji was exhausted and could only slow down his escape speed.
Such a person is so terrifying. It has been at least more than ten years since Lu Ji made his debut and gained the title of Yangzhou Thief Saint.
But in the past ten years, he has never seen such a terrifying martial arts master.
At that moment, Lu Ji felt that he was infinitely close to death.
"Could this person be an imperial expert sent by the imperial court?"
"Come here for "The Map of Mountains and Rivers"?
"No, ordinary people can't tell the difference, how can the imperial court still not be able to tell the difference?"
"I really didn't steal "The Map of Mountains and Rivers"! I've never even been to Qiandu City!" Lu Ji, who had just been complacent about increasing his reputation for this matter, was now almost filled with regret. Already.
It's really...an unreasonable disaster.
"Whether you stole it or not, it's up to you to decide, the Holy One has to say." The faint voice came from the front again. Ji Ling leaned half of his body, leaning on the tree trunk, looking at it with interest. he.
"You ran well this time. It was much faster than last time. If you run for the third time, I would like to see where your limit is."
After hearing this, Lu Ji didn't dare to run away at all.
He has been locked by the opponent's energy. If he runs again, he will inevitably withstand the opponent's thunder blow.
But now that I have exhausted myself and vomited blood, the opponent is still in his prime. In addition, there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.
Running again is tantamount to death!
"My lord, I really didn't steal the "Shanhejia Tu"!"
"How could I, a mere local robber, have the courage to steal from the palace? Or a treasure like the "Shanhe Sheji Tu"!"
"Besides, there are masters like you in the palace. If I go there, won't I be seeking death?"
Lu Ji almost cried when he said these words.
He was originally living a happy life in Yangzhou, and his life was as happy as a fairy. How come a rumor spread that he had stolen the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" and attracted such an evil star?
