Chapter 73 Qingxi Village

The scene before my eyes was changing too fast.

Where did this white horse come from?
So handsome!

Chu Qing saw that the horse had no saddle or bridle, but seeing its bright fur, it was definitely not an unattended wild horse, so he had a vague guess in his mind.

The remaining killers from the Niejingtai, seeing the miserable appearance of their leader and then looking at each other, some dead and some injured, simply scattered like birds and beasts.

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:

"When the Evil Mirror takes action, the fight will not stop until one is dead... How can we retreat because of injuries and live in fear of death?"

He was holding a piece of unfinished pancake in his hand, and walked up to the man with the claws, and took off the mask on his face.

He looked behind the mask and smiled.

fake……

Although facial masks are not rare, the facial masks on the Nie Jingtai all have unique markings.

Although assassins rarely need to work together, when the critical moment comes, such a mark becomes the only proof of recognition between each other.

But this secret is only known to those in the Niejingtai.

The one using both claws obviously didn't know what was going on.

Chu Qing grabbed his hair and dragged him to the fire. Although he was kicked badly by the white horse, he did not die on the spot.

After taking a look at Wenrou who was curiously watching the white horse, Chu Qing didn't have the patience to wait for that person to wake up, so he directly pulled out a red-hot firewood from the campfire and pressed it on the person's face.

The air was suddenly filled with the smell of burnt barbecue.

This caused Wenrou and the white horse to turn their heads to look.

A shrill scream came from the man's mouth, and he suddenly opened his eyes and tried to struggle.

Chu Qing also happened to take the firewood away and threw it back into the fire.

Only then did the man realize his current situation, and his eyes suddenly turned red:
"You are so bold that you even dare to provoke the Evil Mirror Platform.

"You are dead. The Mirror of Evil will not let you go."

Chu Qing laughed and kept calling it "Nie Mirror Table". He really thought that Nie Mirror Table belonged to your family.

Moreover, just from these two mediocre sentences, it can be seen that this person has an average mind. The meaning of these words is too obvious.

"Who are you and why are you pretending to be the mirror of evil?"

Chu Qing's voice was calm, in stark contrast to the hysteria on the other side.

However, these words seemed to have caught the man's weak spot, and his excited expression instantly subsided. He looked at Chu Qing with horror:

"How do you know I'm a fake?"

Chu Qing didn't say anything, but with a flash of his sharp edge, a flying knife pierced his palm into the ground.

"what!!"

The man screamed, and Chu Qing said softly:

"I ask, you answer."

"me……"

The man was kicked by the white horse. The horse was very magical, as if it had internal strength. With one kick, it broke almost all the bones between the man's chest and abdomen.

It was meant to be a short time away.

After all this tossing and turning, his breath began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked at Chu Qing, and seemed to have just realized that his situation was not good, with fear in his pupils:

"Save...save me...I don't want to die..."

"explain."

Chu Qing's eyes were cold and stern, without any emotion:
"Tell me, I will heal you."

"It was a... a middle-aged man... who gave me a portrait and... some silver...

"Let me pretend to be... to kill... to kill..."

When he said this, his breath was already weak, and he just kept groping around on his body.

Chu Qing searched through his body and found a scroll.

I opened it and took a look, and the person on it was Wenrou.

Just looking at her appearance, she seems to be two or three years younger than the current Wenrou, and more childish.

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou and threw the scroll to her.

Wenrou was gazing at the white horse intently, and the white horse was also gazing at her intently.

Their eyes met, neither of them expected to be ambushed.

The scroll hit Wenrou's head, causing her to utter an "ouch". She rubbed her head and looked at the villain who had plotted a sneak attack with confusion:
"what?"

"Remember the smell on it, and tell me next time you see it."

Chu Qing said without raising his head.

She nodded gently, opened the scroll and took a look at it, her eyes solemn.

Chu Qing glanced at her:
"what happened?"

Does she know who painted this picture?

Gentle shake of head:

“The painting is really ugly.”

Then he put the scroll into his bag.

"..."

Chu Qing looked at the dying assassin again, ignoring the hope in his eyes, drew his sword, and cut the assassin's neck with one blow.

He knew very little, so it would be better to just kill him than to go through the trouble of rescuing him.

As for the promise...promises are made to gentlemen. There is no point in keeping promises to such people.

"Why are you so persistent in directing the disaster to the Mirror of Evil..."

Chu Qing touched his chin. If he hadn't had confidence in Chu Tian and Chu Yunfei's character, he would have suspected that this matter was done by Chu Tian.

If Wen Fusheng, the owner of Luochen Villa, knew that Nie Jingtai wanted to kill his precious daughter, he would definitely not let it go.

This is not bad news for me.

However, Chu Qing still shook his head, feeling that this matter was not that simple.

The purpose of the person behind the scenes is still unclear at the moment, so it is better not to act rashly.

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou. Even after such a thing happened, this girl acted as if nothing had happened and was still studying the horse.

This is a very big heart.

Chu Qing shook his head. Since the owner didn't take it seriously, he didn't need to worry about it.

I have accepted Chu Yunfei's request, so I will just deal with it as it comes.

Leaning against the tree trunk, he took a short nap, and only let Wenrou go to sleep in the second half of the night.

I meditated until dawn.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, the horse had disappeared.

Chu Qing and Wenrou ignored him and prepared some food and drinks, put out the fire on the ground and got back on their way.

The weather today was a bit strange. It was still bright in the early morning, but after walking a few miles, a layer of fog began to spread all around.

The fog was not too thick, and you could see it was in clumps, like clusters of clouds falling to the ground.

Going deeper into it, the vision is obstructed and the moisture is very heavy.

The scenery was somewhat magical, but after walking another two or three miles, this kind of scenery could no longer be seen.

There was only a thin layer of fog all around, covering the earth.

Fortunately, the day is bright today, although looking at the sun in the sky through the layer of fog gives people a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog.

But the surrounding scenery can still be seen, and the visibility is quite good.

"Third brother."

A gentle voice came, Chu Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw her standing in front of a stone tablet.

Chu Qing approached and saw three big characters written on the stone tablet: Qingxi Village.

Looking forward, I can indeed see a village in the hazy mist, looking vaguely like a mirage.

There was a hint of happiness on Wenrou's calm face at this moment.

They had to stop at towns and villages along the way to replenish their supplies and buy some dry food and drinks to take with them.

The territory of the Divine Sword Hall is too desolate, with more bones than living people.

A good place has been turned into a hell on earth. I finally found a village, so I had to buy some good things to take with me.

But Chu Qing's brows slightly frowned, he shook his head and said softly:
"bypass."

This mist and this village gave Chu Qing a bad feeling.

Although due to the weather, he had no evidence to prove this...

But it's always a good idea to be cautious.

The joy in Wenrou's eyes disappeared immediately after hearing this, but she did not refute, she just nodded:
"it is good."

If you follow Chu Qing, you naturally have to listen to Chu Qing.

Wenrou has always been very good at implementing this point.

The two men immediately bypassed the village and continued walking forward.

They walked for an hour, but the fog around them did not dissipate. Instead, it tended to become thicker.

Suddenly, Wenrou and Chu Qing stopped at the same time.

A stone tablet appeared in front of them.

There are three big characters written on the stone tablet: Qingxi Village.

Chu Qing and Wen Rou looked at each other.

There is no chaos in this world, but the scene before my eyes really gives me a sense of being trapped in a ghost wall.

Wenrou walked up to the stone tablet and looked at it carefully:
"It's still the same stone tablet."

"Besides, there are more than just the two of us here."

Chu Qing walked up to the stone tablet, and found a palm print on the originally smooth stone tablet.

The palm print is not deep, but every detail is clearly visible.

It can be seen that this person's palm power is extraordinary.

"Could this person also be trapped? Is that why he made a mark on the stone tablet?"

He spoke gently and thoughtfully.

Chu Qing asked her:
"Do you know anything about battle formations?"

Wenrou shook her head decisively:

“The formation is too complicated, with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams.

"Anyway, as long as I open the relevant secret book, my upper and lower eyelids will turn against each other on the spot, and I will have a great time fighting. How can I learn it?"

Chu Qing was speechless for a while, but it was normal for the upper and lower eyelids to quarrel while studying.

He glanced at the village not far away and said softly:

"In that case, let's go to that village and take a look."

It would be useless for two people who don't understand the formation to wander around outside for a few more hours.

In the end, they will still be guided by the formation and return to their original positions, or even be trapped in it and unable to escape.

If this is the case, it would be better to attack Huanglong directly.

But when the two men arrived in the village, the scene here still surprised them a little.

The surrounding houses did not collapse or get damaged, but they seemed to have been vacant for some time.

The doors of every household were open, and the tables and floors inside the houses were all covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Is there no one in this village?"

Chu Qing frowned slightly.

Wenrou sniffed, with a look of confusion on her face:

"There's a strange smell here..."

"The smell of a human?"

"Not like..."

Gentle said:

"If I have to say, it's a bit like... a knife."

Knife?

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then a huge sound of water was heard.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that this was the center of Qingxi Village.

There was a huge square with an upside-down waterfall on one side, and the sound of water that Chu Qing heard came from there.

The flowing water divides the entire Qingxi Village into two.

And below the waterfall, there is a huge waterwheel.

The water of the waterfall is hitting it, making a rumbling sound.

Connected to it is a huge bellows and a huge furnace.

There were iron felt, wooden barrels, hammers, and various tables scattered around the furnace.

"They are forging weapons here?"

Chu Qing blinked and felt that the gentle nose was indeed a bit magical.

She just said she smelled the scent of a knife. There are so many forged weapons here, how could she smell this scent?

"Wenrou, smell this..."

Chu Qing just said this when he frowned slightly.

Only a shocked and angry voice was heard:

"Great, so it's hidden here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came from the sky, stretched out his hand and hit the two people with a palm.

Wenrou was still waiting for Chu Qing's words. She was very dissatisfied with this sudden palm strike. She stepped back, raised her elbow, and lightly covered the man's 'Neiguan', 'Quze' and other acupoints.

At this point, the palm did not dare to move forward, otherwise, before it could hit the person, it would be hit by the elbow on the acupoints first.

He immediately raised his palm and kicked forward.

But Wenrou suddenly stretched out his arm, pressed down with one hand, and just pinched the man's ankle. His five fingers went in along the ankle, and two fingers exerted force, just pinching the man's "Waiqiu" and "Yangjiao" acupoints.

After checking the internal breath, it was found that the entire Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian of this person was affected.

Half of his body suddenly went numb, and he was involuntarily picked up by Wenrou, swung into a circle and thrown far away.

Just as he was about to fall and get a bloody head, a hand pressed on the man's shoulder.

The man's heart suddenly dropped to his stomach, and when he looked at Wenrou again, he became furious:
"Second Uncle, they dare to fight back!"

"shut up."

The man behind him was about forty years old. He pressed the man's shoulders slightly and looked at Wenrou:
“The martial arts used by the young lady seem to be from the Taiyi Sect.

"I wonder what the relationship is with Taiyi Sect?"

She glanced at him gently:
“The people around you attacked us without any reason.

"After you showed up, you didn't tell me who you are, but directly asked about my origins as a teacher?

"You are old, why are you acting so unsystematic?"

"shut up!"

The young man who was thrown out earlier was furious when he heard this:
"Do you know who we are? How dare you talk to us like this?

“I advise you to quickly unlock the surrounding formations and let us go.

"We are invited by the Divine Sword Hall to attend the 'World's Best' Conference. If we are delayed, can you afford it?"

An invitation from the Divine Sword Hall to the world’s best conference?
Chu Qing silently took these two words into his ears, and then he saw the middle-aged man let go of the young man and clasped his fists slightly towards Wenrou:

"What the girl said is correct, it is me who is wrong.

"I'm Dong Xingzhi, and this is my nephew Dong Yubai.

"I just bumped into the girl, I hope you can forgive me.

"I just don't know which disciple of the Taiyi Sect you are?"

Wenrou nodded when she heard this, feeling that what Dong Xingzhi said was quite human.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves.

There were also several women's voices in between:
"Stop it!"

"Don't let it get away."
