We are engaged in scientific research in the ancient martial arts world

After about another hour of running, Li Yu waved his hand, "Fat man, stop and wipe the soil on the soles of your shoes. From now on, let's try not to touch the ground with our feet, use the trees in the woods to borrow strength, and slowly change our direction." Direction." Then the two stopped, scraped the dirt off the soles of their shoes, and began to enter stealth mode.

Qing Ling, who had been tracking behind the two of them at this moment, did not notice anything unusual and followed the two of them as they moved quickly, leaving subtle "small flaws" along the way. Qing Ling tracked for two more hours, but still couldn't see Li Yu and Wang Qingyang. At this time, she gradually realized that something was wrong, but after tracking along the way, Qing Ling saw that There were quite a lot of "flaws" left by these two people, so they didn't take this slightest thing to heart. Until she tracked them for more than an hour, she still found no trace of the two of them, and she never saw even the dispensable "traces" that she had always found before. At this time, her expression finally became serious. "What am I doing? Lost me? I was following two young guys who had just entered the rank, and actually lost me?" Qing Ling was doubting her life now. She is much higher than these two people. To be dumped by these two boys like this was very difficult for her to accept. So she searched around carefully for more than half an hour without believing in evil. In the end, she was very sure that she had indeed lost her. At this time, she was extremely upset. If she had used all her strength to catch up, this kind of thing would not have happened. It was all her fault. She felt that the two of them were just young guys who had just entered the world, and there was nothing wrong with them. She was vigilant and left traces along the way, which led to her misjudgment. Especially after seeing the two of them kill seven unlucky people, she kept approaching slowly and slowly in order not to alert the snake. I was afraid that if I chased him too closely, the two of them would notice. But now it was better, he had completely lost track of him, and Qing Ling was so angry that he stamped his feet. But there is no good way now. So she had no choice but to go back the same way and went back to Meiji to report the matter. Qing Ling followed the original direction and hurried towards the location of Donglan County. When she passed by the seven salted fish again, she slowed down her steps, thought for a moment, and picked up two of the seven salted fish. Then he carried the two salted fish and continued on his way...

Late at night, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang had been on the road for more than ten hours, and they gradually slowed down. "Let's find a place to stay nearby and rest for a few hours. Now the direction has completely changed. According to our current speed, if we travel for more than ten hours a day, we can reach Rift Valley City in more than two days. I roughly estimated that our current travel speed per day is about 700 to 500 miles, which is less than 500 kilometers. The straight-line distance between Rift Valley City and Donglan County is about [-] kilometers, which is about [-] kilometers. Four hundred miles, including our half-day detour, we need to travel five hundred to six hundred miles every day starting from tomorrow, otherwise it will really take us four days to get there." Li Yu analyzed and looked at it carefully. All around. "Old Li, there is a small rocky slope ahead on the right. Let's go up there and see if there is a cave." The fat man pointed to a small hill in the distance and said. Then the two of them ran towards the hill. The two of them were lucky. After searching carefully, they found a cave with a very narrow opening on the rocky mountain. The opening of this cave is very narrow, and can only accommodate one person leaning in. The cave is very empty, there is nothing, only gravel on the ground. The two of them observed it and found nothing unusual, then entered the cave. After entering the cave. The environment inside the cave is unobstructed, because the cave is too small, only enough for the two of them to lie down in a crowded place, and there is no room for more activities. The two of them spread the animal skins they had purchased in the county town on the ground and just sat down. Then they took out two more sesame seed cakes, soaked them with water, and started eating. "When we get up tomorrow, let's just throw the fur coats we bought here, and then the two of us will put on the old cloth clothes we brought from home and wore when we helped the master forge iron a few years ago." Li Yu planned while eating sesame seed cakes. road. "What a great idea. When we cross-dress like this, even acquaintances who have known us for several years will not be able to react at once. I miss you so much, Lao Li. Ever since our wine was produced, it seems that we have never worn it again. Are you wearing commoners?" The fat man said with a reminiscing look on his face, "Well, I haven't worn commoners in five or six years. Ever since we got rich, we have never been short of clothes. We also spent hundreds of gold coins on clothes. Right? Hahahaha, you also like to wear red... you are as cool as you are in Blue Star!!" Li Yu joked. Fatty Wang on the side sighed with emotion, "Hey, it's still a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, you don't understand!" "Come on, stop talking so much, and go to bed after eating. Starting tomorrow, you have to walk more than [-] miles a day. "I understand, it's only more than [-] miles, just think of it as a special training for chasing clouds, it's no big deal. Tsk~" Just like that, not long after, the two of them lay down one after another, lying on the On the soft animal skin, I gradually fell into sleep...

Just when the two of them lay down comfortably and fell asleep, Yuchun visited an elegant room in the inner city of Donglan County. Qing Ling knelt on the ground with a frustrated look. "Interviewer, I know I was wrong... I lost you..." After hearing Qing Ling's hesitant report, Mei Ji's originally lazy expression suddenly froze, and then she looked at Qing Ling seriously, just like this. , without saying a word. After about 10 minutes, Mei Ji slowly said, "With your level, you can still lose track of two boys who have just entered the rank. Humph... Ling'er, you have stayed in this Cangfeng Continent for too long. You've been there for so long that you almost forget who you are? Do you need me to send you back to the Holy Realm and stay in seclusion in Shifang City for another ten or twenty years?" Hearing Mei Ji's scolding, the woman kneeling on the ground Qing Ling suddenly panicked and quickly begged, "Sister Mei Ji, I was wrong. I don't want to go back to Shifang City. Please don't send Qing Ling back, okay? Qing Ling doesn't want to go back to the Holy Land. Qing Ling just wants to stay in Mei Ji." Shifangcheng is so boring next to Sister Ji, and Sister Zidie is so fierce..." Mei Ji glared at Qing Ling who was kneeling on the ground with a frustrated look on her face. "Tell me, how did you get lost, and what happened to the two corpses on the ground outside the door?" Qing Ling saw that Mei Ji did not continue to reprimand her, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported, " They didn't know what kind of light skills they practiced, and they were extremely fast. I estimated that the current speed of the two of them was equivalent to the speed of the great master. I followed the two of them all the way, but after chasing them, there was suddenly no trace, not even a trace. No more." Mei Ji listened to Qing Ling's explanation without any expression. "Zhui Yun Steps on the Moon, with the speed of a great master, Zhui Yun should be close to Dacheng, but this is not the reason for you to follow Di. Zhui Yun is Dacheng. I can't get rid of you." Qing Ling looked puzzled, "How do you know what kind of Qing Kung they practice." Meiji glared at Qing Ling again. Qing Lingtong's neck shrank, "I have been following the traces of the two of them, but they suddenly disappeared without a trace. I wonder if there was an expert who picked them up." ." Upon hearing Qing Ling's guess, Mei Ji's previously expressionless face finally showed a trace of solemnity. "Well, there is a possibility. The two of them were pregnant with a black order ten years ago, and there is still no clue where the black order came from. Today, the two of them disappeared in an instant without anyone noticing. This time The purpose of the two of them leaving the city may really be to meet someone, or in other words, the real owner of this black order." "Let's put this matter aside for now, and then talk about the two corpses outside the door." Meiji picked up a dark green jade porcelain tea bowl and took a sip. "These two corpses were encountered on the road when I was following the direction they were traveling. There were seven corpses in total, all of which were killed by the two of them. I felt that there was something fishy about the wounds, so I picked two of them. I’ll bring the tools back for you to inspect. I’ve also inspected them before, but Qing Ling’s knowledge is shallow and I can’t quite understand.” After hearing this, Meiji slowly stood up and appeared in the blink of an eye. At the door, I saw her gently raising her beautiful hand, and the door of the private room opened slowly and automatically. Then she made another move with one hand, and a corpse that was originally lying outside the door floated up without any resistance, and floated a few feet away in front of Mei Ji. Mei Ji's jade hand turned slightly at this moment. The floating corpse's clothes magically slowly opened a corner, revealing a bloody wound. Mei Ji took a closer look and then waved her hand. , the corpse returned to the ground and lay there quietly. When Mei Ji turned around and returned to the bed in the room, another woman in Tsing Yi had already brought hot water and wiped Mei Ji's hands. A few more minutes passed before his hands were wiped clean. Meiji slowly said, "He was killed by the Dragon Palm, but this time the way of using the Dragon Palm was a bit special." After saying this, the corners of Meiji's mouth turned up involuntarily. "These two guys are really interesting. They actually thought of using Qi to shape a semi-substantial sharp blade in their hands. When the palm strikes, the sharp blade formed by Qi will first hurt the surface of the body, and then the blade will penetrate the body. The wounds on the surface were directly broken inside the body. As a result, the body was invaded by a large amount of spiritual energy, causing riots. In the end, the meridians were stirred by the riots and all burst. What a sinister technique, such a clean move. Kill the enemy with one move. Sure enough, As expected of the person I like, he is so cruel and ruthless at such a young age." Then Meiji's pretty tongue licked her jade lips, and a flush appeared on her pretty cheeks. The elegant room just became quiet. After about ten minutes, Mei Ji's expression relaxed slightly, and then she ordered, "Qing Ling, you continue to search in the direction of Hewu Country and find the village where the two of them set off in a black market carriage ten years ago. Investigate carefully. Qingxuan, you set off immediately and head towards Rift Valley City. When you arrive at Rift Valley City, investigate carefully to see if there are any clues that the two of them have appeared." Qing Ling immediately clasped her fists and accepted the order. On the side, Qingxuan, the maid in green who was wiping Mei Ji's hands, also bowed and accepted the order and said, "Qingxuan will live up to the expectations of the master." After Qing Ling and Qing Xuan said goodbye to Mei Ji, they quickly left. In the private room, we went to take action separately. At this time, in the private room, Mei Ji murmured to herself, "Little guy, you'd better be more honest, and don't let someone else's cabbage hit you on the road. My sister will be very angry." At this point. It stopped suddenly, and Mei Ji couldn't help clenching her pink fist a little more tightly, and there was a trace of imperceptible displeasure on her face.

Outside the gate of Donglan County, Qing Ling and Qing Xuan bid farewell to each other, then each took their missions and headed towards different destinations at full speed. Due to his negligence last time, Qing Ling did not dare to hold anything back this time. He used all his strength and rushed to the destination quickly.

A night of silence. Early the next morning, both Qing Ling and Qing Xuan were exhausted from running around all night, while Li Yu and Wang Qingyang rested comfortably all night. The early morning sunlight slowly shines in through the narrow opening. It shone on the faces of the two people who were still sleeping.

This ray of warm sunshine also gradually woke up the two people who were still sleeping soundly. Immediately, Li Yu took the lead in stretching, stood up, and then slapped the fat man next to him who was still snoring. The fat man also sat up instantly because of Li Yu's "gentle" wake-up service. The two simply washed themselves with water from the water bags and ate some sesame seeds. Then they began a series of tasks of changing clothes and changing their looks. After 10 minutes of work by the waiter, their originally neat hair was now a little scattered, and their originally luxurious-looking clothes had been put away. They put on old cloth clothes, and the cold-proof animal skin coats they had bought in the city were also left behind in the cave. In this way, the two carefully groomed "country boys" embarked on the journey to the Great Rift Valley again.

No one expected that Li Yu and Wang Qingyang would be so stubborn. From the moment they set out until now, they have tried their best to cover up their traces. For those who didn't know, they thought they were wanted by the entire world with a reward on their head. However, the actions of the two were just some protective measures based on the principle of caution. In fact, the two of them did not expect that someone actually wanted to track them. What was even more unexpected was everything they arranged along the way. Someone really got tricked! (Miss Qingling said that she was feeling miserable! But she couldn’t say it yet!!!)

After the two changed their clothes, they seemed to be completely different people. They talked and laughed all the way, without any trace of the depressing feeling they had on the road yesterday. After all, the two of them are now playing rough-and-tumble country folk who know a little bit about martial arts. This role should naturally be played in his true self. Especially Fatty Wang, he is personally very satisfied with the role of the rural tough guy and has a strong sense of involvement. Along the way, whenever Fatty saw a passerby, he would glare at them and then yell twice, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs!" Li Yu watched Fatty Wang's performance with deep affection. , I am also deeply impressed! Although I just designed a role for everyone to play, I didn't expect that Fatty didn't need to play it at all. He himself is such a troublesome person...

At night, the two of them had already found their place to stay tonight. At this time, they were lighting a fire and preparing to use the fire to heat the sesame cakes. The cold sesame cakes were too hard to swallow. Moreover, the two of them don't have much water left, and they have to travel for a whole day tomorrow to reach the surrounding areas of Rift Valley City. So water must be used sparingly. Today the two of them traveled nearly [-] miles. She was already using all her energy to feed her. "It seems that the training of Zhuiyunbu has reached its limit. Our Zhuiyunbu must have reached the bottleneck. If we want to get closer to a breakthrough, we probably need to look for opportunities." Fatty Wang said with emotion. "Well, there is no good method for the time being. Fortunately, Chaiyunbu is quite enough for us at present! If we have a breakthrough, let's find another opportunity. There is no rush in practicing. Let's take it step by step." The two of them said In this way, while discussing their cultivation experiences, they ate the baked sesame seed cakes. Spend this long night.

At this time, Qing Ling and Qing Xuan were still working hard on their way without stopping. Although their routes were different, they both made the tacit understanding not to rest, but kept galloping at an extremely fast speed. Because of this, both of them had somewhat tired looks on their faces at this moment. Although both of them are at a very high level, after working hard for a day and a night, it is really difficult for the two women to bear it.

The next morning, just when Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were resting and ready to continue their journey. Qing Ling and Qing Xuan finally couldn't bear the fatigue and chose to stop and rest for a few hours. While Qing Ling and Qing Xuan were resting, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were galloping through the mountains and forests like wandering clouds and wild cranes, so happy. It was not until the evening of that day that the two finally arrived within the jurisdiction of Rift Valley City. It will take about five or six hours for the two of them to reach Rift Valley City.

At this time, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were standing on a high slope, looking down at this "new map" that they had never been to before. The fat man's face also showed rare seriousness. "The terrain here is completely different from the terrain in Donglan County. Just after we passed through the woods behind us, we entered the jurisdiction of Rift Valley City. The terrain within Rift Valley City seems to be all karst landforms. ." Li Yu couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard Fatty's rare serious analysis. "Since the landforms here are all karst, it's not surprising that there is a rift valley. But over the Great Rift Valley, we still have to confirm it with our own eyes. After all, the Sword of Damocles is still hanging high above our heads." Upon hearing the Sword of Damocles. A wry smile appeared on the fat man's face. "By the way, we can reach Rift Valley City in a few hours. After all, it is one of the three major cities. The composition of the city is complicated. We are not familiar with the place, so we have to be careful."

Seeing Fatty Wang being so cautious, Li Yu also showed an expression of relief that won my heart. "Later, after we enter the city, we will not look for an inn to stay. We will find one or two passers-by to ask how many brothels there are in Rift Valley City." , and which brothels are cheaper and belong to the middle class. Let's listen to music tonight!" When the fat man heard Li Yu's speech, he immediately showed a surprised expression, "Okay! Old Li! I can't usually tell that. Ah, you old cunt, you finally can't stand it anymore? Hey hey hey!!" Then the fat man rubbed his hands and gave Li Yu a look that you know! Li Yu curled his lips, "That really disappoints you. I don't intend to give up my first stupid confession in a brothel for the first time in my life! What I do must have a deeper strategic significance. Don't distort me. Haha!! I can’t control what you want, but I am a very clean man, so I must find a gentle girl to have a sweet love again!! To make up for the fact that I am in Blue Star What a pity!!!" Li Yu spoke righteously and said with a serious look on his face. Fatty Wang's face was full of contempt, "You can talk as much as you like, I can't control it, but don't worry about me either! When I was on Blue Star, I went to various clubs and experienced everything that needed to be experienced. , this ancient costume style is something I have never tried before. Even Jesus can't stop me tonight! I said so!!" Li Yu looked at Wang Qingyang with a look of disgust, and then pushed away the fat man who put his arm around his shoulders. One of his arms, after pushing it away, he didn't forget to pat it with his hand, as if he had been touched by something dirty. "Whatever you like, it's up to you. Everyone makes the money anyway, and it's your right to control it. However, do you know why I chose this medium-sized brothel that is not well-known to stay instead of an inn?" Fatty Wang said "??? ?" Li Yu continued to explain, "Since we came all the way and hid our whereabouts so well, we must have done a full show. The anticlimactic ending does not match our character. We entered the city at night, although not many people will notice us, but just in case In case, we must be careful and careful again. What is the inertial thinking of normal people? After rushing all the way to the city, the first thing must be to find an inn or a restaurant to stay, and what we have to do is to break this routine Thinking, we don’t go to restaurants or inns, we just go to romantic places to stay, and we don’t go to the best ones, nor the worst ones, just to the middle ones, so that others can’t be traced. At the same time, although we have money, we also Don't be the first to do it. The consumption of this kind of ordinary brothel will not be too low, but it will not be very high either. Let's just spend it normally. Don't do stupid things like spending a lot of money. Tonight we will pretend to be two people in the city. The gambler who won a little bit of money in the gambling house spent it in the brothel. Also, no matter how you play tonight, don’t forget to dig up some information about the Rift Valley City and the Great Rift Valley from the girl. As much as you can dig out . I will just act like a bad drunkard. I will not touch the girl, but I will also give her some money to stay overnight as a cover. Then I will pretend to be drunk and have a good rest. Our banknotes are hidden in my boots. Under the insole." Then Li Yu made a series of arrangements, and finally reviewed all the details of the arrangements. After confirming that there were no mistakes, the two set off on the road again.

While the two were making various arrangements, Qingxuan, who had rested, was also speeding towards the location of Rift Valley City at an extremely fast speed. Qingxuan was still more than a day away from Rift Valley City. , it will take until tomorrow afternoon to arrive at Rift Valley City. If Qingxuan knew what Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were planning at this time, her heart would probably be broken into several pieces on the spot...

At this time, far away from a small village on the border between Roujian Country and Hewu Country, Qing Ling finally arrived at this remote village on the border before sunset after a day of running. Qing Ling did not act rashly and immediately entered the village. Instead, I bought a bowl of tea at the tea shop at the entrance of the village and sat down to rest. Then he looked carefully at this inconspicuous little village. While she was drinking tea, she started chatting with the waiter at the tea shop. "Boy, is there a carriage here? I want to find a carriage. My foot is a little sprained and I have difficulty moving." Then he took out a white token from his pocket. The waiter looked at the token that the girl took out and said with disdain, "Bering, Bailing can't use the car here. This girl, I'm really sorry." After hearing the waiter's words, Qing Ling was also sure One thing is that this tea shop is a contact point for the black market to receive distinguished customers. Thinking of this, Qing Ling had no expression on her face and continued to ask, "You mean this Bering is not qualified, so if I have a black order, I can borrow the car?" The waiter replied nonchalantly. "That's natural. The black order is the most noble symbol in our black market. If you can get the black order, we will naturally entertain you." After hearing what the waiter said, Qing Ling calmly removed the white items on the table. Ling put it away, and then she took out a token as black as ink from her body. Of course, this black token did not belong to Qing Ling. It was handed over to her by Mei Ji before Qing Ling went ahead. The purpose is to give her a little more confidence in this trip. The waiter saw the black token Qing Ling took out. The disdainful look on his face was instantly gone. He took the token with a smile on his face, examined it carefully, and after confirming whether it was correct, he handed the token to Qing Ling respectfully. "My distinguished guest, what can I do for you?" The waiter looked nervous at this time. He had scolded this girl in a strange way just a few minutes ago. Now that this girl could actually take out a piece of black money, his heart almost sank to the bottom. He was afraid that if he didn't serve this aunt well, his life would be ruined. What is a black order? There are black markets everywhere in the entire Cangfeng Continent, and in the black market, only the most distinguished customers are qualified to hold the Black Order, and those who hold the Black Order are either from wealthy families, relatives of the emperor, or are peerless masters who are famous in the world. . Only those who hold the Black Order can participate in the highest-level auction in the black market. This auction is not open to the public and is only open to those who hold the Black Order. You can buy all kinds of rare and rare treasures that are difficult to find in the world. The distinguished guests who hold the black order also enjoy various preferential services and treatment provided by the black market. After all, in a black order auction, the auction commission collected by the black market alone is astronomical, so the corresponding services are naturally not a problem. Those who hold the Black Order can enjoy special fast horses, carriages, partial intelligence sharing, and free use of designated inns in some countries and cities. At this time, Qing Ling looked at the waiter who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book. She didn't care too much about the waiter's little actions. "Inquire about something. Please tell me the truth." The waiter was relieved when he heard that the girl didn't mean to blame him. "Dear guest, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know about everything that happens around here." Qing Ling continued to ask, "How long have you been in the village?" The waiter heard this question and his face was filled with tears. He was confused, but he still answered bravely, "There are very few personnel changes in our black market. Basically, the people sent out rarely change after they are stationed in a place. So Xiao Xiao has been in this village for fourteen years." There's more than enough." Upon hearing the waiter's answer, Qing Ling's brows suddenly widened. "Since you have been here for 14 years, how many times have you seen Hei Ling in this village?" The waiter couldn't describe it as surprised at this time. What kind of questions did this girl ask? The questions were all in a mess...but the waiter could only curse in his heart. He still answered honestly, "I must have seen him five or six times. There are too few distinguished guests from Heiling, and in such a remote village, it is difficult to see Heiling? What can be seen here is just a few I just use Bering to spend money to buy items, or to gather information about casual cultivators traveling on the border." After hearing the waiter's answer, Qing Ling was not surprised at all. After all, we are in this borderland. Thinking about it, there won't be many high-status people coming and going. "Tell me, ten years ago, I saw Hei Ling several times." The waiter scratched his head, "This... distinguished guest, you are making things too difficult for me. Ten years ago, this... what did I think? You have to be careful, I don't dare to deceive you." Ye Ling was not surprised by this, "I'll give you a hint, someone who used a black order to borrow a carriage or a horse ten years ago." Hearing this, the waiter said again A moment of scratching. I thought about it again and again. Qing Ling was not in a hurry, she drank tea slowly, held her chin, leaned lightly on the table, and waited quietly. After about half an hour, the waiter suddenly thought about it and said with a flash of inspiration, "I remembered that ten years ago, the black order was used to borrow a carriage only once, and the other two times were for borrowing horses. "Qing Ling nodded. "Please tell me in detail who borrowed the horses and who used the carriage."
