Chapter 012
The street outside returned to calm, and Qing Ming's hanging heart finally relaxed. She turned to look at the young man beside her and thanked him again.
"Brother, you don't have to be polite! It's fate that you and I met today. You are of the same age. From now on, how about we refer to each other as equals? My name is Song Xuan." The young man also bowed back in a polite manner.
"My name is Qing Ming!"
"By the way, what were those things just now, and why did they suddenly appear here?" Qing Ming naturally felt that the young man opposite might have a good background, and maybe he could answer his questions.
As he expected, Song Xuan couldn't help but frown again when he heard Qing Ming mention the scene just now. After a moment, his mood calmed down a little, and he immediately said: "Brother Qing Ming must have heard of the 'Qian Kun Lu'
Bar?"
"'Qiankun Record'?" Qing Ming's face was filled with question marks.
"You don't know Qiankun Lu?" Song Xuan was even more surprised this time. Seeing Qing Ming's confused look, he must have really not known what was going on.
"The appearance of these monsters is also related to it. Some people say that the so-called Qiankun Record is a peerless skill, and those who obtain it can rule the world. Some people say that it is a treasure map, which contains countless elixirs and martial arts.
, and there are even rumors that it is a relic of the Sword God. In short, the rumors are inconsistent, but one thing is indeed true, that is, the Qiankun Record does exist, and it is a secret left over from ancient times."
"As far as I know, the Qiankun Record is not the kind that appeals to rumors, but a list and a list of burial places!"
"The burial place?" Qing Ming was puzzled.
"Indeed, it is the burial place of the strongest man in the world!" Song Xuan said this, his face inevitably a little excited.
"The heroes in the universe are all gone, and the sky in the Sea of Blood and Bone Mountain is sad!" Song Xuan said this, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Hehe! I knew all that from peeking into my father's ancient books. It's a pity that I only saw so much. My father disappeared together with that ancient book..."
"Having said so much, I gradually deviated from the topic. The monsters we just saw came from a mysterious space. They are called spirit eaters. They specialize in absorbing human souls and spiritual energy. It would be okay if they absorb spiritual energy, at least they can still
But if you eat them together with your soul, you will die completely. Now do you understand how terrifying they are?"
Qing Ming couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. No wonder when those black clouds approached, his spiritual energy was forcibly pulled by a mysterious force. Fortunately, they didn't do it deliberately, otherwise it would be difficult for him to escape.
Tribulation.
"Second Miss, she..." Thinking of the girl lying behind her, her heart sank to the bottom again. Could it be that her soul was sucked?
Song Xuan on the side seemed to notice his worry, patted his shoulder and said: "Your friend is fine, it's just because of his physical condition, not because his soul has been absorbed!"
Hearing Song Xuan's words, Qing Ming let out a long sigh of relief. If something unexpected happened to her, if she saw Mr. Han again in the future, she would have no choice but to drink her neck to apologize. But fortunately, this girl woke her up in time and left.
Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
"Thank you so much, Brother Song Xuan, for saving your life this time!" Qing Ming once again thanked the young man opposite.
Song Xuan said nothing more, just looked at Qing Ming with a smile and said: "Hey! You don't have to be so polite. You may need Brother Qing Ming's help in the future!"
"If you need anything in the future, just ask, I will do my best to help you!" Qing Ming was no longer polite.
"Yeah! I've remembered it in my heart! Haha..." Song Xuan smiled, and then added, "I came here this time, on the one hand, to find out if there are any clues about the Qiankun Record, and on the other hand, I also want to find my father.
I've been here for a few days now, so it's time to leave, otherwise my family will be worried!"
"It's ten o'clock at night, why don't we take action tomorrow?" Qing Ming couldn't ask more about other people's family affairs.
"Haha... look over there..." Qing Ming looked in the direction of Song Xuan's finger. The sky was already turning white, and he didn't expect it to be dawn so soon.
"Time flies so fast, and it's already early morning before you know it. If that's the case, I won't try to keep Brother Song anymore. Take care!"
"We will meet again in the future, how about we get drunk then?"
“Looking forward to it!”
"Brother Qingming will see you soon!"
Qing Ming cupped his hands to say goodbye and watched Song Xuan disappear into the distance. He checked Han Piao's condition and found that his pulse was stable and his high fever had gradually subsided. It was obvious that he was no longer in serious condition.
He turned around and left the room, looked at the gradually brightening sky in the distance, jumped up, and rushed to a mansion in the city again. He needed to confirm something before dawn.
...
Not long after, Qing Ming came to Wang Luo's mansion again. He looked up and saw that there was nothing in the sky above the mansion. The frightening black clouds last night had already disappeared. Qing Ming jumped up and hid under the
On the wall, observing the situation in the courtyard, some servants had already started cleaning, but they were not aware of what happened last night.
What's even more strange is that the guards who suddenly disappeared are also missing.
As for the patch of weeds in the courtyard that was reborn and replaced by paving bricks, it was as if there had never been weeds again.
If Han Piao hadn't been by her side last night and she had witnessed that scene with her own eyes, Qing Ming would have really thought it was her hallucination.
As the noise on the street grew more and more, Qing Ming knew that he could not stay here any longer, otherwise his whereabouts would be exposed, so he made up his mind to return to the inn first and wait for Han Piao to wake up before making other plans.
Pushing open the door of the inn, his eyes searched the entire room but Han Piao was nowhere to be seen. When he completely stepped into the door, he felt a chill on his back and a murderous intention instantly filled his body. Qing Ming thought to himself.
I was careless. When I saw Han Piao was no longer there, I was so anxious that I didn't even notice the dangerous situation in front of me.
With a desperate attitude, he was about to take out the Qing Ming sword on his body. When he turned around and saw that the person behind him was Han Piao, Qing Ming stopped what he was doing. He saw Han Piao standing with the sword in his hand with a look of fear on his face.
Beside the door.
"Second Miss, you're awake, I thought you were missing..." Before Qing Ming could finish his words, Han Piao slashed at Qing Ming like crazy.
Qing Ming picked up the scabbard of Qing Ming's sword with his stopped hand and blocked Han Piao's blow. He took a few steps back. He coughed a few times and was secretly shocked. This girl's all-out effort had almost failed her.
He was injured. Her cultivation must have reached the level of an upper-level warrior. Fortunately, she has almost recovered to the level of a martial artist. Although she can only go down to the next level, after all, there is a watershed between her and a warrior, so Han Piao will naturally not be injured.
he.
Seeing Han Piao attack her again with great force, Qing Ming took advantage of this, moved sideways, quickly came to her side, raised his palm and hit her on the back of the neck. Han Piao's crazy movements were stopped.
Passed out again.
"I'm offended!"
Qing Ming picked her up and walked to the bed. He didn't know what happened to her last night, or what she saw, and her mental strength was so traumatized.
The only thing Qing Ming could do now was to pray, hoping that nothing would happen to her. With nothing to do, Qing Ming stayed not far away to practice. It was not until noon that Han Piao woke up.
I saw her holding her forehead and shaking her head, with a look of extreme pain on her face.
"Are you feeling better?" Qing Ming walked over and asked.
"What's wrong with me? My head feels like it's going to explode!" Han Piao looked at Qing Ming with a puzzled look on his face, and Qing Ming was also shocked at this moment.
"What's wrong, aren't we at Wang Luo's Mansion? At that time, I just felt a wave of heat coming over my body, and then I lost consciousness." After saying that, he gently rubbed his temples.
"You really don't remember anything?"
Han Piao shook her head. Qing Ming didn't understand what was going on, so he told her the whole process in detail, omitting of course the part where she was about to kill him.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Han Piao still looked incredulous. Qing Ming stopped responding to her and just told her to take a good rest and not to think too much. For Han Piao, she had no control over the changes in her body.
He didn't know what was going on, and how could Qing Ming explain it to him.
In this way, Han Piao rested in the inn for a few days, and Qing Ming also observed the movements of Wang Luo's residence during these days, but nothing was gained. Since what happened that night, Wang Luo's residence has not appeared.
Same thing.
If there was anything that happened, there was only one thing. When Wang Luo took people to the Han family's mansion the next day, he was greeted by an empty courtyard. In a fit of anger, he burned down the Han family's mansion, thus getting out of this place.
Of course, Qing Ming did not tell Han Piao about this matter. After all, she was injured and did not want to irritate her anymore.
But after all, the paper could not stop the anger. When Han Piao found out, he almost rushed into Wang Luo's mansion with gunfire. Qing Ming talked hard and made a series of plans before convincing Han Piao. After this incident, Qing Ming secretly
Wiping off a cold sweat, I secretly decided that I must not take this girl with me, otherwise there will be constant troubles along the way.
After formulating a plan, the two walked out of the inn together. Qing Ming didn't need to make any cover-ups. After all, Wang Luo didn't know him, but Han Piao was different. As the second young lady of the Han family, Wang Luo had no need to hide.
She couldn't be more familiar with it.
So Han Piao wore a gauze hat to cover her face. Even so, Han Piao's figure was still clearly visible. Although she was disguised as a man, she was so delicate that as long as she was not blind, her true face could be seen through at a glance.
"No wonder Wang Luo recognized you at a glance. It seems that he is quite discerning." Hearing Qing Ming's teasing, his face turned red, he snorted coldly and walked out of the inn door early. Qing Ming stopped teasing her and followed closely.
Afterwards, we walked onto the street.
