The bearded man in front of him is almost the strongest among the sixth-grade practitioners that Gu Cheng has ever seen. His cultivation has probably reached the peak of the sixth-grade, half-step to the level of a master.
Even if Murong Hou came and used his fancy tricks, he would still be no match for the opponent's sword.
But when Gu Cheng heard the strong man speak, he knew that he and the other party might have misunderstood something.
Gu Cheng quickly said: "What Pluto Sect? Did this warrior make a mistake?
Just now, a guy wearing black robes, with a face as white as a ghost, and who is proficient in the secret method of refining ghosts, attacked me. I chased him out and met you."
The strong man was also stunned for a moment, put away the knife and said in surprise: "You are not from the Pluto Sect? Just now I followed Qi Huaixuan, the young master of the Pluto Sect, to this door, and he disappeared. As soon as the door opened, what came out was
You, I thought you were also one of those sneaky people from the Pluto Sect.
Since you are not from the Pluto Sect, who are you? Can it prove your identity? Brother, don’t blame me for being suspicious. The Pluto Sect is physically weak because it only practices ghost methods, so it recruits a large number of warriors to serve as disciples and even guest elders. I also
We have to guard against it.”
Although this strong man looks rough and domineering and does not look like a good person, his attitude is very polite and reasonable.
Gu Cheng directly took out his token and said: "No one should be able to imitate Gu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Guangling City in Xiananyi County, Jingyesi's token."
When the strong man heard Gu Cheng's name, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "But that Gu Cheng who stood up for his subordinates in Donglin County and killed the son of Shaowu Army General Hong Dingshan and Xuanwu Zhenzong Elder Bai Ziwei's son?"
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's me."
This incident has passed for a long time. For most people, except for people in Donglin County, few people will mention this incident.
Now, if anyone in the world mentions Gu Cheng, the most common ones would be about his undercover rebellion against the military, overthrowing Fang Zhenhai, or the fight between him and Murong Hou. These are more widely spread than the Donglin County incident.
After all, he was just a small person in Donglin County, and although Governor Hong had a big background, he was also a small person.
If Gu Cheng had killed his father, Hong Dingshan, it would probably have spread to everyone in the world.
Therefore, Gu Cheng felt a little strange when he heard the strong man talking about such 'old things'.
The strong man suddenly put his arms around Gu Cheng's shoulders as if he were familiar with it. Gu Cheng subconsciously dodged, but he was not as fast as the other man.
"Hahaha! I've heard of your reputation, Brother Gu, for a long time. I've never had the opportunity to meet you. I didn't expect that a flood would wash away the Dragon King Temple today. It's fate.
Tsk tsk, when I first heard what Brother Gu did in Donglin County, I was filled with emotion that Jingyesi, a backwater, especially the mediocre Xie Anzhi, could actually produce such a bloody and fierce hero as Brother Gu.
It’s really not easy.”
Gu Cheng was a little embarrassed to be praised by this strong man, and he felt a little guilty because of his face.
To be honest, Gu Cheng is not that noble, because the person who died was Xiao Yi, his first partner when he came to Jingyesi, Xiao Yi, who had never been selfish towards him. Gu Cheng was so unhappy,
Angry and aggressive.
If someone else had died, Gu Cheng would have taken action, but he would not have chosen such an extremely violent approach. Instead, he would have looked for an opportunity to secretly trap Governor Hong to death and distance himself from the relationship.
However, Gu Cheng was a little curious about the strong man in front of him. He seemed to know Jingyesi very well.
Normal people will not pay attention to these things. There are forty-nine counties and forty-nine governors in Daqian. It is impossible for ordinary Jianghu people to recite all these forty-nine names. God knows the governors who govern their own areas. Who is it?
"This brother is also from Jingyesi?"
The strong man slapped his head and said: "Look at my memory, I'm just talking about this and haven't introduced myself yet.
In Xia Yanbeigong, I was once a member of Jingyesi, but just like you, Brother Gu, you should not kill people when you kill them.
But I don't care about how cruel you are, brother.
What you killed was the son of the imperial general and the son of the Xuanwu Zhenzong elder. What I killed was just a deputy commander sent to check and balance me.
That guy was good at fighting within himself and was a waste to the outside world. Just because he was stalling for time by causing trouble for me, a ghost realm spread and a whole town was killed. I was so angry that I chopped the guy with a knife.
It’s just that that guy is the confidant of the Governor, and I knew that bastard was definitely going to cause trouble for me, so I simply took off my black armor and ran around in the world."
Upon hearing that the strong man in front of him was Yan Beigong, and his introduction to him, Gu Cheng immediately knew who he was.
‘Red Hero’ Yan Beigong, in the Jianghu of Nanjiu County, there are few people who can be called a hero.
Yan Beigong used to be the commander-in-chief of the Jingyesi Division in Leping County. At that time, he was already extremely powerful. It can be said that among the Jingyesi Division in Leping County, he is the most promising to step into the realm of a grandmaster and become the envoy of the town. The presence.
But he is a man who hates evil as much as he hates it, has a fiery temperament, and cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in his eyes.
In fact, it was not a big deal for him to kill a deputy commander. Although it is taboo for Jingyesi to kill each other, to put it bluntly, it is only a taboo on the surface. There are less intrigues between each other? At least this Gu Cheng had dozens of ways to fool around with this kind of thing.
Yan Beigong is not stupid, he can also fool him, but he doesn't want to do so.
Perhaps because he was disgusted with the inaction and intrigue within Jingyesi, he took the initiative to leave Jingyesi and hang out in the rivers and lakes of Nanjiu County, killing demons and evil spirits along the way. Not only did he kill demons and ghosts, he also killed those evil cultivators. And he killed even harder.
In the past few years, Yan Beigong has killed countless people and saved countless others. People in the world respected him, so they gave him the nickname "Red Man". "Red" actually means blood, but the word "blood" is too fierce. It doesn't fit the character "Xia", so he is called "Red Xia".
Of course, there are many people who respect him, and even more people who hate him. Those heretical thugs, cult ghost cultivators and the like hate him with gnashing of teeth, and even offer a reward to kill him. But as long as Yanbeigong stays, If they fled in one breath, they would be greeted by even more ferocious revenge.
Yan Beigong's strength was already strong when he was in Jingyesi. After these few years of fighting in the world, he himself has reached the peak of the sixth level, the level of half-step master, and even survived under the hands of strong masters. record.
Some Jianghu people who respected him even commented that Yan Beigong was the first person under the Grand Master. Of course, this title was only within the scope of Nanjiu County.
However, this also indirectly proves Yan Beigong's strength, and if it weren't for the fact that he had too many fierce battles in the past few years and spent most of his time recuperating from his injuries, which delayed his practice, he might have been able to enter the realm of a master now.
Gu Cheng sincerely raised his hand and said, "It turns out it's the 'Red Hero' Yan Beigong, Master Yan. I've already heard of Master Yan's name."
Yan Beigong waved his hand and said: "Those people are just talking nonsense about being a hero or not. Besides, I only do things based on my heart, and I kill a lot of people. There are even many famous old guys who spit on me."
It's too heavy.
Brother, I wonder how much older you are. Brother Gu, if you don’t mind, just call me big brother.
But Brother Gu, I'm not talking about you. When I knew you had taken refuge with that rebel Fang Zhenhai, I felt a little pity.
Although the imperial court is not a thing, the rebel Fang Zhenhai is even less of a thing.
I heard that you overthrew Fang Zhenhai, which is actually a good thing, but why do you want to return to Jingyesi?
The current Jingyesi is no longer the Jingyesi founded by the two sages, Pei Fei, the Martial Saint, and Ye Fashan, the True Master of Luofu. It has changed completely!
You suffered so much grievance in Donglin County. If you want me to see it, just betray Jingyesi to get revenge!
You don’t have to worry about Jingyesi chasing you. In Nanjiu County, they don’t care about themselves. Monsters and ghosts are flying everywhere, so how can they have time to take care of you?”
Gu Cheng chuckled twice and said, "I can't help myself. I came from a noble family. Although I have fallen into decline, I still have family in the capital. I can't be as happy as you are, Brother Yan."
Moreover, there are people in Jingyesi who have been kind to me and have various connections that cannot be cut off so easily."
Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Yan Beigong didn't say anything.
Although he hates evil as much as he hates it and has a fiery nature, he is not such an extreme person.
Everyone has his or her own ambitions. He admired Gu Cheng because Gu Cheng's background was very similar to his own, and the things he had experienced were also very similar to his.
But Gu Cheng is not him after all, so no matter what Gu Cheng chooses, it is normal.
"By the way, Brother Gu, how did you enter this evil place?"
Yan Beigong changed the topic and asked.
Gu Cheng didn't hide anything and said directly: "I came here to find a skill. There is something I need in Fengxian Village, so I took the risk and took a trip here."
Yan Beigong was suddenly shocked: "What!? This is the legendary Fengxian Village that disappeared five hundred years ago?"
Gu Cheng was speechless for a moment. The two of them had already entered here, but they didn't even know where it was.
"Brother Yan, how did you get in?"
Yan Beigong hummed softly: "I came here to hunt down that boy Qi Huaixuan.
The Pluto Sect is one of the thirty-two sects, specializing in the practice of ghost secrets. Recently, it has even begun to preach, saying nonsense about Pluto coming to the world to save the world. That boy Qi Huaixuan is the young master of the Pluto Sect, and he has brought people here
A missionary from Taikang County.
Moreover, this kid is not only preaching, but also killing people and refining ghosts. After I found out, he killed several of the Pluto Sect deacons around him. However, he actually escaped from my hands by relying on his secret skills.
I chased him all the way to this evil place in the dark. I pushed open the house and accidentally entered a place full of monsters. After I rushed out, I saw that guy using secret methods to get into where you are, Brother Gu.
inside the house.
But I never expected that this place would be the legendary Fengxian Village."
