Chapter 515 513 A World with a Ceiling of 500,000
There was a heart-wrenching sound, as if it was the sound of something biting, crackling like chewing bones!
The beasts in the mountains and wilds don’t have such good teeth!
Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"Could it be a demon?"
The guard suddenly said in shock.
"magic?"
The young master immediately stood up and drew out the sharp sword from his waist: "Have you ever seen a demon?"
The guard held a knife in both hands and flapped his ears, wary of the direction of the sound, and said to the young master: "No, but I have seen it in books. Some time ago, my subordinate guarded a batch of goods from home that went to Yingzhou. At that time, I heard from a business traveler on the road that there had been a demonic incident near the Luan Konghai in Beidi!
At that time, seven or eight villages, totaling more than a thousand people, died. At that time, this matter was quite a big deal in the northern part of Yingzhou!
It is said in the book that those demons often have some incredible abilities, so no matter what happens in a while, you must be careful and don't be careless! "
"I know."
The young master held the long sword tightly in his hand, turned his wrist, and danced with the sword. At the same time, he listened carefully, wary of the unknown existence in the thick fog.
"Huh? Someone is here again?"
The young master suddenly heard the sound of wheels rattling.
There were also the sounds of horse hooves and people's footsteps, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of people coming.
In the mountain forest not far away, Ren Pingsheng looked at the group of people coming along the mountain road.
These people were dressed in simple and uniform black clothes, and each carried a sword on his back. There were about fifty people, and many of them carried strong bows and crossbows. They were full of momentum and looked like elite soldiers from the army.
They stood on the edge of the thick fog and hesitated, but the thick fog suddenly spread as if it had its own consciousness and enveloped them.
"Notice!"
The leader yelled.
A sudden gust of wind blew in the darkness.
The leader threw off the scabbard with a "clop" sound and took out the Mo Dao in his hand. When the Mo Dao touched and rubbed with the scabbard, sparks were generated, and a bright flame appeared on the surface of the knife with a "fly".
The sword and fire shadow flashed past. Taking advantage of the thick fog in the air, Qi Xingzhong was unable to dodge, so he took a knife and made a gash in his waist and abdomen.
What's strange is that there is no blood flowing out of the incision, and the incision is pitch black from the fire. The Qixingzhong seems to have no pain. After landing on the ground, he kicks his back foot and in an unexpected gesture, he pounces on the man holding the knife behind him. The man in black with a strong crossbow.
"Ah! Here!"
The fishy wind came, and the man in black had time to block it with a crossbow, but Qi Xingzhong slapped him and threw him away. He opened his mouth to reveal a set of burnt yellow melon-seed teeth, and bit down hard on the man in black who shouted loudly. head on!
When the mouth opened, it actually seemed to be split. It was wider than a human head. Like drops of blood, it bit off the head of the man in black in one bite. He chewed it with Qi Xingzhong's teeth, " With a crunching sound, the hardest skull in the human body was chewed by him, and blood suddenly dripped down with the thick fog of salivation.
"How strong is this 'demon'?"
Ren Pingsheng asked Sanhua next to him.
Sanhua's eyes had turned into vertical cat eyes, and she could actually penetrate the fog and see the fighting scene on the mountain road.
"It should not be my one-in-one enemy. His strength is at the level of a warrior at most, but he is covered by thick fog, and he is not afraid of pain. Otherwise, he would be killed by these men in black in one round. "
Sanhua told the king her judgment.
"Go and get rid of this 'demon'."
Now that he has figured out the strength of this demon, it has become a prop for anyone who comes into contact with this world.
While Ren Pingsheng was chatting with Sanhua, seven or eight more people in black had already died over there.
However, the demon also had seven or eight burnt black knife wounds on his body, as well as a dozen crossbow arrows.
Some crossbow arrows hit the demon's vital points, but there was no sign of the demon being fatally injured.
"Your Majesty, I will come back as soon as I go."
Sanhua licked her lips, and with one leap, she had already stepped out more than ten meters away. She jumped a few times on the mountain road with extremely flexible body, and then she fell into the battlefield between the demon and the man in black. .
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise and the sound of "clicking" followed closely.
The huge force hit the demon's head accurately.
The demon's head was like a broken watermelon. The hard skull shattered instantly. The bones on the neck were all broken. Only a little skin and flesh remained, which was softly connected to the neck. He fell to the ground. on the ground.
The fog lost its source, and the mountain breeze became lighter.
Sanhua's light toes tapped the ground, and she flew back more than ten meters. She stood on a stone tablet as tall as a person on the side of the mountain road, and then stopped.
"Senior, thank you very much!"
The fog dissipated quickly, and as he spoke, the leader of the men in black could already see the woman in strange clothes more than ten meters away.
Sanhua, who was wearing a denim jacket and jeans, flicked the ponytail on the back of his head and looked around. He saw that both the men in black on the mountain road and the young master and his entourage in the yard of the dilapidated temple beside the road were all paying attention. On her body.
And the prince in the woods also walked out of the woods.
Under the starry sky, so many people gathered here on this remote mountain road.
Whether it was the sudden appearance of the demon or the woman standing on the stone tablet who looked young but was very skilled in martial arts, they were all very surprising.
"What is this?"
Ren Pingsheng approached the motorcade of the man in black. Sanhua jumped down from the stone tablet and stood silently behind him.
All the eyes that were paying attention to Sanhua also shifted their attention from her movements to the man who came out of the mountain forest.
Ren Pingsheng squatted down, picked up a branch and picked out the body. He looked closely at the body of this strange species at close range. Except for the face, it really didn't look like a human being.
"This is a human change. Some people have demon blood in their blood. Once it appears, it will often bring disaster to the world."
The leader in black said.
"Demon blood? Trouble the world?"
These things have never been seen in the outside world. Judging from the thing in front of me, its strength is not very strong. Any warrior who can listen to the wind and judge the position can solve it with a grenade.
"Is this demon strong?"
Ren Pingsheng asked the leader in black again.
The leader in black said: "Demons have various abilities. This one is not strong, but it is not weak either."
The young man in the deserted temple courtyard also walked to the entrance of the courtyard under the protection of the guards. He looked here with a pair of narrow eyes. After listening to the words of the leader in black, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this sir a member of the imperial court?"
Ren Pingsheng stood up, walked to the roadside, and looked at these two groups of people.
Sanhua followed Ren Pingsheng, still wondering how the king could understand these people and still speak like this.
"Are you from the Wu family?"
The leader in black asked.
"I'm Wu Xiaotian."
The young man announced his family name and said I am here, but his expression looked quite arrogant.
"It turns out to be Mr. Wu."
The leader in black obviously knew the Wu family very well, and he bowed his hand towards him: "I won't disturb Mr. Wu's elegance until I have something important to attend to.
Senior, thank you very much for your help. This is my token. If senior goes to the capital in the future and comes from Ruyang Hou Mansion with his token, Yan will sweep the bed to welcome him! "
The leader in black handed a bronze plaque to Sanhua, then waved at the convoy, which had already collected the bodies of his brothers, and continued on the road.
Soon, the group disappeared on the rugged mountain road.
"I met the senior Wu Xiaotian of the Wu family in Xialuzhou."
At this time, when Wu Xiaotian faced Ren Pingsheng, his attitude seemed much more modest, and there was nothing worth criticizing about his own etiquette.
"Ren Pingsheng."
Ren Pingsheng pointed at the departing imperial officers and soldiers: "What are these officers and soldiers doing here in the mountains so late at night?"
"I think they are trying to find a way out of the fog. This is not the first wave of people. The current imperial court seems to be in flames, but the world is about to overthrow. Many people want to go through the fog and find a different path. Just come.
It's a pity that the fog is so easy to survive. Throughout history, how many people have entered it and explored it, but none of them have been able to do so. The four great natural chasms in the southeast, southeast, and northwest cannot be overcome by human effort! "
Wu Xiaotian sighed and said.
"I look at this world. The people are prosperous and the things are prosperous. If the people can live well, how can there be any danger of overthrow?"
Ren Pingsheng walked to the gate of the deserted temple, casually sat on the weathered stone lion, and asked doubtfully.
"There are only 500,000 people in the world. Anyone who exceeds 500,000 must raise weapons. Now the world is in a state of prosperity, and 500,000 people are approaching."
The day of great chaos in the world is approaching. "
Wu Xiaotian also casually sat on another weathered lion at the door. While talking casually, he looked at Ren Pingsheng eagerly with his eyes: "Sir, have you ever heard of the reputation of my Wu family in Luzhou?"
"The rich man in Luzhou naturally knows."
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said.
With his mind power, he swept through the big city of Luzhou and saw the huge mansion with the word "Wu Mansion" written on it. The Third Young Master Wu was so arrogant in front of the people in the Ruyang Hou Mansion. Most likely this is the family.
However, although this small world is not big, it can not only support 500,000 people. Even if the productivity is low, it is enough to feed millions of people. How can 500,000 people cause chaos in the world?
Could it be that it’s not just a matter of resource allocation?
"Sir, you don't know something. The Wu family is not a wealthy family, but a guard in Luzhou. Just before the Yuan Dynasty, my ancestor was an emperor!"
Mr. Wu said calmly.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt that this small world was indeed different from the outside world.
In the outside world, there are few descendants of the previous royal family, and few dare to boast like this in front of others.
"Think about it, sir, is he from the Hidden Sect's Martial Lineage in Thousand Mountains?"
Third Young Master Wu continued to ask.
"How do you see it?"
Ren Pingsheng neither admitted nor denied it.
"In this Luzhou, there are very few martial arts masters that I don't know about in my Wu family. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and traveled around the world when I was sixteen. I have visited and communicated with all the famous martial arts masters in the five states and mingled in this circle. Not only do I know them all, but I know nine out of ten of them.
The gentleman has a good appearance, and the female gentleman is also good at fists and kicks, but he looks very cool, so this is just a guess. "
Wu Xiaotian said honestly to Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng followed the words and said: "What Mr. Wu said is true. We have been practicing in the mountains for a long time. We don't want to be burdened by the worldly world. We practice martial arts and cultivate our tastes in the mountains. We are friends with fish and shrimps and elk. That's right." "Carefree."
"But now the world is about to be in chaos, it is time to reshuffle. Our Wu family has the idea of competing for the world, and also has the strength to compete for the world.
Why don't you come out and compete for the world's luck?
The resources for cultivation are limited. How can you reach the pinnacle without fighting or robbing?"
Wu Xiaotian persuaded more and more eagerly.
Ren Pingsheng smiled but said nothing.
Wu Xiaotian was a little anxious. Although he couldn't see the strength of the woman just now because of the thick fog, her floating and silent posture, and the strength of breaking the neck of the demon with one palm, seemed like a hidden Yuan warrior who had practiced internal energy. This is extraordinary. Sometimes it can play a decisive role in war!
And this man also looks extraordinary, with a master style.
If they can be invited to join the Wu family, the scales of conquering the world will tilt towards the Wu family again!
Even if the guess is wrong, the strength of these two people is definitely not weak. For the current situation, one more master means one more chance of winning.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Wu Xiaotian, and he had a better understanding and confidence in the Wu family and this small world.
"We are in the mountains, watching the movement of the sun and the moon, and the complexity of the stars. We only hear the bright moon between the pines and the breeze in the mountains, and see the colors. We do not envy the prosperity of the world, nor do we pursue the ultimate martial arts."
Ren Pingsheng said, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed it, as if he had grabbed a breeze in the mountains, and his whole image suddenly stood up.
Wu Xiaotian and the guards behind him looked at Ren Pingsheng with a bit of admiration.
This is the style of a master hermit!
"But..."
Ren Pingsheng changed the subject at this time: "We are here on this mountain, sometimes we are quiet and thinking. If the time is right, we can also visit Wu Mansion. We are most interested in the exploration of the mystery of the world and the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast. If there are records about these in Wu Mansion, I hope we can exchange some in the future."
After that, he stood up and bowed to Wu Xiaotian to say goodbye.
"Of course! Of course!"
Wu Xiaotian also stood up and took off a bronze plate from his waist, saying: "This is a token of my Wu Mansion. If you go down the mountain, you can take this to the state capital. Everyone in my Wu Mansion knows this token and will be properly treated."
"Good."
Ren Pingsheng took the plate: "Sanhua, let's go."
After that, Ren Pingsheng touched the ground with his toes, and his body turned into a green smoke, fell into the treetops of the mountain forest, and floated away.
"Qigong!"
The leader of the guards saw this and couldn't help but stare in amazement!
Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but slap his thigh hard, and finally confirmed his guess. It was indeed a Qigong practitioner in the Hidden Yuan Realm!
And there were two of them!
He couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
In the mountains, the two were very fast. In just a few minutes, they had surpassed the people of the small world court who were shuttling through the mountains and forests.
Soon they returned to the edge of the thick fog.
"Abao, you watch the rope here. If someone comes here, don't let them find you."
Ren Pingsheng gave a warning and took Sanhua into the thick fog. (End of this chapter)
