Xiaojiu asked again: "Sir is gone, what about you?"
This sentence stunned Qingniu. Yes, the master asked it to leave a message for Xiaojiu, but what about it? It thought for a while and then replied hesitantly: "Now that you have achieved success, I
After breaking through the barriers and making progress, it’s time to leave.”
Xiaojiu: "Didn't sir tell you where to go?"
Qingniu: "If I have an order, I will do it. But the world is so big, where can I go?"
Xiao Jiu leaned down and lowered his voice and said: "Daniu, you are a monster now, so you can't run around. A cow talking to people will scare people. If you meet an expert, you will be scared."
I have subdued you as a monster. There are monsters more powerful than you, and they might even want to kill you, the monster cow, for meat."
Qingniu couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't scare me."
Xiaojiu said with a solemn expression: "I'm not scaring you, I'm just telling you not to run around. You might as well stay here and practice."
Qingniu: "Master didn't let me stay here either."
Xiaojiu: "But sir, I won't let you stay here!"
Huh? This makes sense! While hesitating, Xiaojiu took advantage of the situation and said: "You are now a cultivated cow demon. If you don't want to continue living in the cowshed in another courtyard, you can treat this place as your
The cave. Anyway, you have gotten used to it over the years. You have stayed here very well and you have succeeded in practicing here. Why don’t you stay and continue to practice? You can also be my companion!"
To be honest, Qingniu doesn't know where to find Huwa now. Since Huwa has left, it means that Xiaojiu's practice has found his own path. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no need for Huwa to interfere again.
Then the "mission" of the green cow is completed, and whether to leave or not is entirely up to its own will.
If it leaves this place, it can go to Kunlun Wonderland to see it. Now there are nine realms of cultivation! But it also becomes curious about Xiao Jiu's future cultivation experience, and also wants to know what other things the master wants to entrust Xiao Jiu to do in the future.
Do it. More importantly, it heard the reluctance in Xiao Jiu's words, so it nodded and said: "Since the master didn't tell me, then I will continue to stay here."
Xiao Jiu said happily: "If you are willing, this is your cave, and I have designated the surrounding mountains and forests as your dojo. You can practice here on weekdays, and you don't have to work in the fields."
Qing Niu smiled and said: "You just said that I am very strong, so it is okay to do some farm work on weekdays. This place is not bad, so I will live here temporarily. Tell the others, from now on, Niu will
It’s been raised on the mountain.”
Xiaojiu hugged the cow's neck and said, "Look, how wonderful this is! I will also practice in the mountains in the future, is that okay?"
Qingniu: "Whatever you want, it's your home anyway."
Qingniu stayed in the villa, and Xiaojiu also declared that he would devote himself to cultivation. He did not live in the other courtyard most of the time and also moved to the mountain. Of course, he had the final say in his own affairs, and Tailuo and his wife knew it well.
It was clear, but in the eyes of others, this child gradually grew up and became very withdrawn. He even took a cow to live in the mountains, which made everyone secretly shake their heads and sigh.
During the two months of Qingniu retreat, Tailuo finally broke through the three realms of cultivation, and Xiaoxia also entered the first realm and was able to practice. It can be said that she finally got rid of some shackles of life. The two of them often go to the mountains to visit Xiaoxia
Jiuhe Qingniu, give me some things, ask for some advice, and get more guidance on practice.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jiu is withdrawn and only wants to live alone in the mountains. Some people even suspect that the steward Tailuo deliberately sent Xiao Jiu to live in a secluded place in the mountains in order to control the financial situation of other courtyards.
This child has been firmly under his control since he was a child. Now Tailuo is in charge of the other courtyard and is already the master. He only occasionally gives some things to Young Master Ninth.
Bai Lanzi firmly held this idea. He even secretly went to the mountains to search for Xiaojiu in an attempt to find out the truth and expose Tailuo's ugly true face. But he never saw Xiaojiu at all. Of course, he didn't see Xiaojiu at all.
They couldn't find the cave where Xiaojiu and Qingniu practiced. They got lost in the mountains and forests and walked for a long time before they found their way out.
Xiaojiu didn't just hide in the cave to practice. He also often traveled around the surrounding areas. Many times he even ran to play in the city walls, but outsiders didn't know.
In the blink of an eye, more than four years have passed. Xiaojiu has reached the age of sixteen, and his cultivation level has reached the fifth realm and ninth level. Xiaojiu has gradually realized that Daniel's cultivation level is probably much higher than his own. Because these years
Xiaojiu's cultivation level continues to improve, but no matter how high his cultivation level is, he can never see through the details of Daniel's cultivation level. This can only mean one thing, from beginning to end, Daniel is much higher than him.
It is indeed the mount of the Supreme Master!
That day, Xiaojiu left the cave and walked down the high slope with his hands behind his back. He experienced the newly realized magical power of controlling shapes. Although he could not fly yet, he already had the feeling of flying. Now he was walking through mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. He had not yet walked out.
In the dense forest, he suddenly realized something was wrong, stopped and stretched out his finger in the air.
At the same time, he heard the sound of strong wind piercing the sky, and three arrows were fired at each other, blocking all his escape routes in all directions. The trajectory of one of the arrows flying in the air actually turned and wandered.
It quickly bypassed two big trees and shot towards his chest, obviously possessing the ability to control objects.
Then there were three sounds of snap, snap, snap, and the three arrow shafts split into countless thin strips in the air, and the arrows flew to no one knows where. Xiaojiu stretched out his left hand, and with his right hand he had already pulled out the hosta from his bun.
He drew forward. Judging from his posture, he didn't hit anything, but he heard a thud and a person fell from the big tree ten feet away.
This man broke his neck when he fell to the ground, but suffered fatal injuries when he was on the tree. The wound was very small, just about an inch open at the heart, but he didn't know how deep it was, and blood was gushing out.
The clothes on the chest were stained red.
Xiao Jiu immediately killed the monk who tried to assassinate him. At this time, two more arrows were shot from diagonally through the air. Both the strength and accuracy were impeccable. But Xiao Jiu just
He waved his left hand, and the arrows deviated from the direction at a close distance, each drawing an arc and sticking into the ground.
In the bushes five feet away, there were two figures on the left and one on the right retreating quickly, even without the hard bows they carried. Those were the other two assassins. They saw that the assassination had failed, and Xiao Jiu was definitely not something they could deal with.
, so he immediately ran away. This reaction was not unpleasant, but he was also very calm, and he did not forget to shoot an arrow to cover himself before escaping.
Xiao Jiu had inserted the hosta back into her bun, stretched out her hands to grab it in the air, and the two assassins who were about to escape jumped forward, but they turned back in the air and fell to the ground as if they were picked up by invisible force. Xiao Jiu
Jiu's reaction was quick enough and he left them behind in time, but then he was slightly startled.
Those two people were also dead. When they were swept up in the air, they realized that they could not escape today. They decisively pulled out the dagger and stabbed themselves in the heart. When they landed, they were dead. After all, the distance was a bit
Far, in such a blink of an eye, what Xiao Jiu can do is the limit, even if he wants to stay alive, he can't.
Xiaojiu did not step forward to check the body. His face was very ugly, and he just stood there quietly for a long time. Qingniu walked up to him from the forest, touched him with his horn and said, "What are you doing?"
Did you? Is it the first time in your life that you killed someone and you were so scared?"
Xiaojiu's voice was a little low: "I'm not that timid. It's not like I've never seen such a scene before!"
Xiaojiu said that he had seen such bloody scenes, not only referring to his own experience in Baoming Elementary School as a child, but also to the experience in Jianzhizhong, and even "experienced" a battlefield where thousands of troops and horses were fighting. Huwa gave him
The "story" told is mysterious and unpredictable for ordinary people, and contains the inexplicable divine will of the immortal family. When Xiaojiu's cultivation reaches a certain level, he will feel as if he has experienced those scenes in person.
Qingniu: "Then why do you look so ugly?"
Xiaojiu: "I was sent here when I was seven years old, and I have never had any enmity with anyone. Who would use such means to assassinate a person like me? Not only did they send a monk, but the other two are also elite dead warriors!"
Qing Niu sighed: "They thought they could easily succeed in dealing with you, but they didn't expect that they came here to die... I have informed the steward, Tai Luo, and he will be here soon."
Qingniu was in the cave just now, how could he notify Tailuo in the other courtyard in the distance? But since it said so, it must have its own magical powers. Before the words were spoken, Tailuo had already arrived, walking swiftly through the mountains and forests to the small
In front of Jiu Shen, Tai Luo looks younger than a few years ago, and his cultivation has also broken through the four realms.
When Tailuo saw Xiaojiu's face, he knew something was wrong. He ignored the corpses and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, what happened?"
"Three dead men have come to commit an assassination." Xiaojiu simply replied, and then asked, "Tailuo, is there any news from Baoming Junior High School these days?"
Tailuo lowered his head and said: "There has been no news in these years. If I don't send news back, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to this place."
When he said this, Tailuo's tone was very sad, with a hint of loss. Since Xiaojiu was sent here, caravans from Baoming Kingdom have often come to Lu Ze's department, but no one has ever taken the initiative to ask.
In Xiao Jiu's case, no one has given him any financial support. It seems that he has been left to fend for himself for how many years!
Of course, if Xiao Jiu wants to ask for his father's attention, he can also take the initiative to ask someone to say hello, such as asking a passing caravan to send a message and send someone back. He can declare that he is short of money and hopes that the country will send more wealth to support him; or he can claim that he misses his hometown.
, asking his father to take him back.
These were all things that Xiaojiu could take the initiative to do, but Xiaojiu did not do them. Since he had not made a sound for so many years and had no sense of existence, then everyone in the Baoming Kingdom ignored him, and I am afraid that he would have been eliminated long ago.
He forgot about it and couldn't even think about it.
The "sending news" that Tailuo mentioned just now has another meaning. Only under one situation, Tailuo must take the initiative to send news to Baoming Country, that is, Xiaojiu is no longer here. Tailuo "last time"
"Send the message" was already many years ago, but the Sixth Young Master unfortunately died of illness. According to the usual practice, Baoming Kingdom needs to send another Young Master.
In other words, Xiao Jiu's only meaning to Baoming Country now is that he is still alive here. As long as he is alive, that is enough. Only when he is dead will anyone think of him. Therefore, in the eyes of many outsiders, Xiao Jiu
Jiu's situation is very pitiful. This child is so...
So what about Tailuo himself? How many years has it been since he was sent here? No one has thought about whether he should be replaced by another person and let him return to his hometown. In fact, before Xiaoliu, there was a young master from Baoming who lived in another courtyard, but
The management has always been too poor.
Xiaojiu said with a gloomy face: "Who said no one cares? This is what happened! I didn't expect that after so many years, what I was waiting for was an assassin who took my life! ... Tailuo, no news was sent from Baoming Kingdom, but
Didn't you hear anything?"
Tai Luo: "I have heard some rumors recently. It is said that your father is seriously ill and may not have much time left. I heard the rumors and came to see you last month, but you are not in the mountains."
Xiao Jiu's eye circles were inexplicably wet, and he sighed: "I know what's going on. Some people don't even want to let me go... After all, he is my father. I should go back."
Tai Luo tentatively advised: "If you want to go back, you might as well take this opportunity to return to the country openly. Although you have no foundation in the country, with the chaotic situation in the country and your cultivation methods, all the princes have no chance."
People can compete with you."
But Xiaojiu shook his head and asked Qingniu: "Big Niu, would a person who drinks dew and eats like a meal go out of his way to compete with others for a piece of smelly meat?"
Qingniu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not speak. Xiaojiu said to Tailuo: "I have to leave for a while, and some things just need to be settled."
Tailuo said quickly: "You want to visit my father, which is right. Although I don't know who sent the assassin, I can guess it. After all, he is your brother. What do you want to do?"
Xiaojiu said expressionlessly: "Are you trying to say that it's inappropriate for brothers to kill each other? If the one who sent the assassin is really one of my brothers who can do such a vicious thing to me, even though I don't want to be involved in Baoming's national affairs,
But we cannot leave such a person in the world. This happened to me. I have reasons and the means, so why should I let others deal with him?"
The king of Baoming Kingdom is seriously ill and the princes in the country are vying for the throne. How come there are assassins coming to assassinate Xiao Jiu who is taking refuge in Lu Ze's tribe? Of course, it is because some people feel that Xiao Jiu is a threat. Even if it is only a potential threat, they must eliminate the hidden danger in time.
.Xiao Jiu usually has no sense of existence, and no one will come to trouble him, but under certain circumstances, his existence seems very special.
Some people regard Xiaojiu as a threat, for at least three reasons. One is that although there are many young masters in the country, not many are healthy adults. Xiaojiu has just turned sixteen, and he only has five brothers alive now.
All have the same father and mother.
The second is that Xiaojiu has no bad deeds. This sounds a bit ridiculous, because Xiaojiu has not been in the country at all these years, but it is true. Several of his brothers have bad deeds, such as bullying men and dominating women. In the country,
Almost everyone knows it.
The third is that Xiaojiu not only has no bad deeds, but also has made contributions to the country. When did Xiaojiu perform meritorious service for the country? In the eyes of onlookers, he left his hometown for the country at a young age, came to a place where he had no relatives, and endured the humiliation and heavy burdens.
Staying there for so many years is certainly an achievement and makes him stand out.
In fact, these three factors are not the decisive factors. If you want to compete for the position, you must have a supporting force; but if you have a supporting force that can compete with your competitors, then these three factors will become the decisive factors. It is impossible for Xiaojiu to establish a position in the country.
The reason why some people are afraid of him and even want to assassinate him is precisely because he has stayed in Lu Ze's department for so many years.
This worry is not unreasonable. If Xiao Jiu really wanted to compete for the throne, with his intelligence and intelligence, he might have already thought of various ways to curry favor with the dignitaries of Lu Ze's tribe, tried his best to get in touch with Lord Bojun, and promised that he would become the king in the future.
, and promised various benefits to Lu Zebu or related people in exchange for Lu Zebu's support in ascending to the throne.
Anyone who has stayed in Lu Zebu for so many years, or even grew up in Lu Zebu, is qualified to do such a thing. Even if Xiaojiu does not have such thoughts, others have to believe it! As long as there is such a possibility, it is a huge hidden danger
.If someone in the Baoming Kingdom has placed an informant in Lu Ze's department, they may also learn that Xiao Jiu's whereabouts have been mysterious in recent years, and he even often appears quietly in the city walls.
Even if he knew this, no one else would be willing to live like this, and besides, it would also mean losing power in the country. Xiaojiu's threat was both difficult and easy to deal with, just get rid of him, so the assassin came.
