Chapter 398 Thief of Saints

Chapter 398 Thief Saint!

As Eunuch Cao held Xie Jianlan down, the ice field that was shaken by wind and thunder became silent.

Dongfang Liren was riding on a charcoal-red horse. He frowned as he looked at the blood-covered Beiliang Wufu. He felt that this was not a person at all, but a cornered beast. He didn't dare to approach her even if he held her down.

"Huh...huh..."

Ye Jingtang fought for a long time, and the consumption was obviously not small. He was breathing like an ox. Seeing that Eunuch Cao was holding Xie Jianlan down without any pressure, he released the gun barrel and wiped the sweat from his face:

"Do you need to be so desperate? I know you are escorting Xue Huhua, but I don't know that I thought you were protecting the longevity map..."

Having said this, Ye Jingtang lowered his head and looked at the box, really doubting whether it contained a picture of a singing dragon.

After all, half a catty of Snow Lake Flowers is equivalent to a Tianlang Pearl. Although it is a priceless treasure, the Tianlang King in previous years may not be as powerful as Xie Jianlan after eating the Tianlang Pearl. Xie Jianlan has such strength and would risk his life for this. Isn't this just mentally ill?

Xie Jianlan's head was pinned to the ice by Eunuch Cao, her eyes were still blood red, looking at the waist card that bounced into the distance, as if she had not heard Ye Jingtang's words.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang was speechless. He took two steps back and forth, then bent down to pick up the box and unwrapped it, wanting to see what kind of valuable treasure it contained. It was worthy of this person's defense and refused to let go until death.

As a result, when I looked at it, hey, don’t mention it, the stuff inside really wasn’t snow lake flowers!

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and slid open the jade box. As soon as he opened it, there was a 'bang~' sound from the box, and a black mist spewed out and sprinkled on the chest and robe.

"..."

The world was instantly silent.

Dongfang Liren suddenly looked back, his eyes widening visibly.

Eunuch Cao also raised his eyes and wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so he made a vague sound:

"Oh haha..."

Even Xie Jianlan, who was pinned to the ground, turned around and looked at the Night Terror Hall out of the corner of her eye.

"call……"

Ye Jingtang held the box, and he could clearly see the veins popping up on the back of his head, hands, and forehead. He took a few deep breaths, then suppressed the countless swear words in his heart, turned around and gritted his teeth and said:

"You're risking your life just to give me a box of Dragon Miasma?!"

"Haha...cough..."

Xie Jianlan was pressed on the ice and let out a string of laughter mixed with blood foam. There was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was just amused by Night Jingtang's behavior.

"..."

Ye Jingtang felt that this guy was completely insane. He was not afraid of the Dragon Miasma at all. He would only faint for a while. He immediately threw the box aside and turned to Eunuch Cao, asking how to deal with it.

Eunuch Cao is the loyal butler of the Dongfang family. He came to help hold him down. He obviously wanted to stay for a while to see if he could be recruited. After all, Xie Jianlan has the talent to become a saint. He is only thirty years old and can serve for at least a dozen years. This is a good thing for Dongfang. For me, it is more profitable than half a catty of snow lake flowers.

But Eunuch Cao pressed for a moment and found that Xie Jianlan was already dead and seemed to be possessed by a demon. Taking her back might lead a wolf into the house. There was some hesitation in his eyes at that moment.

The two communicated with each other's eyes, but before they could decide whether to kill or not, the bird that ran to investigate flew back from a distance, issuing warnings along the way:

"Chi chi chi..."

Ye Jingtang thought he had found another team, so he turned around and looked back, but suddenly found a black spot at the end of the ice field, with no less than a hundred people visible.

There were more than a hundred people, dragons and snakes mixed together, all warriors from the north and south armed with a variety of weapons. They were in small groups far apart from each other, chasing in the same direction.

The target of the pursuit was a woman half a mile away from everyone.

The woman was dressed in black and wrapped her cheeks with a scarf. Although her qinggong was not as good as Lu Jieyun's, she was not far behind the ordinary Wu Kui. She was holding a box in her hand and dashed across the ice field, following the big bird leading the way.

In the night wind, you can still faintly hear the crowd shouting:

"stop!"

"The rules of the world are for those who see them, but you still want to swallow half a pound of snow and lake flowers by yourself!"

"Thief Saint, you stole a jar of night white hair from me four years ago, but you still remember this account..."

…

The scene of heroes from all over the world fighting for the treasure can be said to be majestic.

Ye Jingtang and Dongfang Liren saw this scene from a distance and opened their mouths in shock.

Even Xie Jianlan, who was going crazy on the ground, reacted and looked over there.

Eunuch Cao squinted his eyes and said:

"Prince Ye, please rest first, let's go and get..."

"Need not!"

When Ye Jingtang saw his fair-skinned and beautiful aunt being chased, how could he bear it in his heart? He didn't even care about the tightness in his chest and abdomen. He directly held Ma Shan and walked towards the end of the ice field, his footsteps as heavy as thunder.

Dong Dong...

Stab la la——

The fragmented ice surface was once again pulled out by Haifeng into a straight white line...

…

And the other side.

On the day of Ye Jing Tang's departure, Fan Qinghe and Sanniang and others walked to the inn and rushed to the northwest. Although the horses were slower than Ye Jing Tang, they did not have to stop to change horses along the way. They ran at an accelerating speed of thousands of miles, and the time did not slow down much. , when Ye Jingtang arrived at Pingyi City, they had already arrived at Honghe Town.

Sanniang obeyed the arrangement and waited to meet up with Ye Jingtang in Honghe Town, and held a meeting at the new hall. Fan Qinghe heard that the flowers in the Snow Lake were blooming, and there was no place to sit, so he left the seclusion on the grounds of investigating the situation, and then followed The Jianghu team who came out of seclusion to seize the treasure came to Tianlang Lake.

Shi Daoyu and others are just more powerful trash fish to Ye Jingtang, but in the north and south rivers and lakes, they are real giants in the rivers and lakes.

The ruthless people from the north and south who came to snatch the Snow Lake Flower, even if they knew that Shi Daoyu might be carrying genuine goods, did not dare to go up and hit the stone with an egg, let alone Xie Jianlan, who had not shown up in ten years.

Although there was no discussion beforehand, the heroes from the Northern and Southern Dynasties all set their sights on the teams of the three leaders of Bai Xiaoying.

The three commanders of Bai Xiao Camp are not weak, and the strongest ones can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches among the masters; but at this time, the ruthless people who dare to enter Tianlang Lake to rob Zuoxian King are obviously even more outrageous. It can be said that they have been missing for nearly a century. All the monsters and ghosts appeared.

More than 100 people surrounded and suppressed more than 30 people on the ice lake. With just a few face-to-face encounters, they defeated the Bai Xiao camp, and then the heroes started to seize the treasure.

As the saying goes, there is no real person under a great reputation. Fan Qinghe is not a self-proclaimed "stealing saint". Although he is not good at frontal combat, he has extraordinary light skills and is good at using traps and poisons.

She had been following him secretly, and when they were fighting for the box, there was a heavy fog rising upwind. Then she took advantage of the chaos and snatched the box. When everyone found out, she had already run out for less than half a mile.

Fan Qinghe could silently chase Pegasus for more than two hundred miles in Wuzhou, and even Master Xuanji couldn't catch him. Even half a mile away, it would be impossible for this group of Jianghu people to catch up.

But except for this one, they couldn't take advantage of the other two teams at all. For this reason, they could only chase after them desperately. Some scolded them to settle old scores, while others discussed sharing a little bit.

How could Fan Qinghe distribute the Snow Lake Flowers that he grabbed with his ability to other people? He was speeding along all the way, but he never expected that he would find the birds rushing to help him just after running a few dozen miles.

Knowing that Night Terror Hall was nearby, Fan Qinghe was ecstatic and immediately ran over with Niaoniao.

When he saw a few figures on the broken ice field, Fan Qinghe immediately became more energetic and even slowed down a bit. He turned around and scolded:

"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you continue to pursue life and death at your own risk!"

More than a hundred heroes from all walks of life behind them also noticed that the ice field in front was almost completely shattered, and they became somewhat vigilant.

But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't imagine that the endless glacier would be smashed by two people. They only thought that this was a dangerous place with undercurrents.

A white-haired old man chasing at the front saw the Thief Saint slowing down and said coldly:

"Back then, you stole my jar of white hair, but now you give me half a tael of Snow Lake Flowers, and all the past grudges have been wiped out..."

Before he finished speaking, the white-haired old man suddenly realized something was wrong, stopped his steps, and stopped some distance on the ice.

Wow——

Other Jianghu people swarmed past him, but they immediately realized something was wrong. They stopped at the ice field one after another and raised the hilt of the knife in their hands.

Rub rub rub...

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the ice sounded from directly in front, from far to near.

Everyone looked up and looked, but they saw a black line suddenly appeared in front of the Beiliang Thief Saint who was running in the distance. Almost as soon as they saw it, they had already passed by the Thief Saint, and then they said:

Bang!

The black afterimage stepped heavily on the ground, and the whole person jumped into the sky in an instant. Before some people could react, they fell back into the air. They held a gun more than ten feet long in both hands, and let out a loud shout that shook the ice field halfway:

"drink--!"

Boom——

More than a hundred Jianghu people saw a flash of cold front, and the ice field ahead set off a huge wave!

The flat ice was completely torn apart, and the lake water under the ice exploded into water mist, which was carried by the air waves and surged forward, as if a mountain peak suddenly fell in front of it.

"hiss--!!"

The average quality of the ruthless Jianghu people who dared to snatch Xuehuhua was indeed not low. When they realized something was wrong, many old Jianghu people, both young and old, had already swooped out.

Some of the younger ones took action when they saw that the opponent was less than half a mile away, but they were still doubtful. When the terrifying power rose into the sky, it was already too late to escape. The shattered ice spread to the feet in an instant, and then there was an overwhelming aura. wave.

boom--

With such a long distance, the remaining energy is no longer enough to split both men and horses, but a half-step forward shot from the Martial Saint is not that easy to bear.

The dozen or so people who were unable to dodge were instantly swept backwards by the air wave, and a mouthful of blood was knocked out of them in the air.

As for the people who escaped, their cheeks were hurt by the strong wind mixed with ice particles, and their eyes were full of horror. They probably all suspected that they had bumped into the Dragon Prince of Tianlang Lake.

Rumble——

After the air waves rolled over, a crack opened in the ice sheet, dividing the chasing people in two.

After Ye Jingtang fired his gun, he stopped where he was, pointing his gun at the crowd in front of him with one hand, his eyes like a murderous god.

And the ice field became as quiet as death. More than a hundred people in the rivers and lakes stopped breathing. A few warriors covered in rags fell in the ice debris, covering their chests and coughing:

"Ahem——"

And a few martial arts warriors from the Southern Dynasties, who may have seen big scenes in Junshan Terrace and other places, whispered:

"Night Terror Hall?!"

…

Although the sound was small, it was like a thunder, and the hundreds of frozen warriors immediately became a little confused.

Now walking around the world, the only people who have never heard the name of Ye Jingtang are the unlucky ones who were accepted by the King of Hell before they even figured out what was going on.

The rest of the people, even the North and South Wu Kui, would probably tremble in their hearts if they bumped into them.

After all, Night Terror Hall is known to be ruthless, and leaving whole corpses is considered a sign of kindness. Most of the time, they kill five people, and six or seven corpses can be pieced together from the broken pieces, and it is completely impossible to tell which is which.

When everyone saw that this black-robed gunman, who was as powerful as a god or a Buddha, turned out to be the notorious Ye Jingtang, they didn't dare to lift a knife, let alone look into those eyes, for fear of being the first to be named.

Ye Jingtang shot down, although the sound was earth-shattering, he obviously held back his hand.

After all, he came here to rob King Zuo Xian, not to help King Zuo Xian clear out the gangsters.

If all these desperate warriors were killed, there would be few people left to snatch King Zuo Xian. He alone could not block the entire Tianlang Lake.

Even though he was a little annoyed because of this, Ye Jingtang looked at everyone for a moment, then he moved his hand away and pointed at the ice, and said calmly:

"Are you still chasing me?"

"..."

No one dared to respond.

Fan Qinghe ran to the world to seize the treasure. It was only for those who were able to get it. After taking the thing, he even killed all the people he didn't grab with his backhand. This was a bit unethical. He immediately came to him and warned:

"Let me tell you again, I have never stolen anything. If you dare to throw dirty water on my head in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"

The people in the Beiliang Jianghu didn't believe this at all. After all, he was so good at qinggong and went to the forbidden areas of the sect. Who would believe that he didn't take anything?

But seeing that Beiliang Pirate Saint turned out to be Ye Jingtang's concubine, no one would dare to mention this matter in the future.

The people in the arena were not stupid either. The white-haired old man who had just made the noise quickly raised his hands and said:

"Ye Daxia is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and is full of chivalry. Everyone in the north and south knows it. If the girl is really a gangster, how can Ye Daxia get along with the girl.

"What happened in the past, it seems that I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I ask the girl to forgive me. After I go out, I will personally clarify the matter for the girl, so that the gossip in the world will not stain the girl's name."

After all the compliments, this flatterer was indeed quite good, and others rushed to agree with him.

Seeing that these people knew each other, Ye Jingtang gave up the idea of ​​killing chickens to scare monkeys, and instead said:

"Shi Daoyu and Xie Jianlan were in danger in the ice field. I couldn't help them, and they were already in the hands of the enemy. King Zuo Xian was afraid that the thieves would rob the prison, so he did not dare to leave the city rashly. You should be careful in the future. If you do anything wrong in Tianlang Lake again , King Zuoxian will not spare you."

"...?"

As soon as these words came out, more than a hundred Jianghu people were obviously shocked. They really didn't expect that it took so many of them to snatch away the weakest team. Even before they were completely defeated, the two strongest teams had already been defeated. Knocked off.

As for who knocked it out, there is no need to ask.

What Ye Jingtang said was nothing more than a secret confrontation between the two countries, and he was just saying something to show off in public. Apart from himself, who else on Tianlang Lake could kill the two teams? King Zuo Xian, who was still under pressure, did not dare to leave without permission. city?

Now that all the trump cards under King Zuo Xian have been wiped out, and Ye Jingtang is still guarding King Zuo Xian alone, it will be too easy to snatch Snow Lake Flowers next. Sneak into the Northwest Protectorate and steal, King Zuo Xian estimates. He didn't even bother to pay attention to them.

Many people from the north and south of the rivers and lakes also understood the meaning at this time, and immediately raised their hands and said:

"Thank you, Master Ye, for reminding me. I will definitely abide by the law and act in a safe manner in the future."

After saying that, they dispersed like birds and beasts, but within a short time they disappeared into the ice field and disappeared without a trace.

Tap tap tap...

Fan Qinghe stood in front of him. When he saw the Jianghu people leaving, he pulled down his scarf, revealing his bright cheeks with three-dimensional features, and handed the box to Ye Jingtang:

"Aren't you awesome? Are you injured? Why do you feel like your breath is not stable..."

Snapped--

Before he finished speaking, there was a springy and crisp sound on the ice sheet.

Before Fan Qinghe could react, she felt a burning pain in her buttocks. She jumped slightly in shock. She quickly turned around and covered her back. She looked at Ye Jingtang's hands with a look of shame and anger.

Ye Jingtang looked quite serious and asked as if he was training his daughter-in-law:

"Who asked you to come out alone?"

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was a bit fierce, Fan Qinghe hid his shame and anger again, frowned and said:

"I'm an old Jianghu, I know what's appropriate, and I'm not a stupid young man running around without permission... Don't you get this Snow Lake Flower? If you don't come, they won't be able to catch up. I should have known I wouldn't have come to find you..."

Ye Jingtang knew that Fan Qinghe could escape, but he still felt it was dangerous and warned:

"You are not allowed to make your own decisions in the future. If you have anything to do, you must discuss it with me first. You can run away when you meet these people, but what will you do if you meet Xie Jianlan?"

When Fan Qinghe heard this, he thought of something, raised his eyes and asked:

"Did you really kill Xie Jianlan?"

When Ye Jingtang saw that Fan Qinghe's eyes were wrong, he stopped scolding his wife and walked back together, signaling to the figure deep in the ice field:

"Not yet, but soon. Do you know him?"

Fan Qinghe raised his eyes and saw Eunuch Cao holding down a bleeding man, and frowned:

"We met once. The year before last, I was wandering around the rivers and lakes of Beiliang. In order to find records of Tianlang Pearl, I went to Huangxing Valley where the Medical Saint of Beiliang was.

"At that time, I saw a room inside, and a skinny girl was lying inside. There was a hanging rope tied to the beam, and a young man was hanging on it.

"I am a doctor after all. When I see someone hanging, I definitely have to check it out. But as soon as I got to the door, I found that the young man who had hanged himself had opened his eyes..."

When Ye Jingtang heard this bizarre story, his eyes were a little baffled:

"Is it Xie Jianlan who hanged himself?"

"I didn't know at the time. I just thought it was a family member of a patient who had no way to seek medical treatment and was planning to commit suicide. After some questioning, I found out that he was Xie Jianlan, who became famous ten years ago. The girl was his wife. She was poisoned. She searched everywhere All the miracle doctors couldn't save them at all, so they thought of committing suicide and dying together..."

Fan Qinghe told the story of Xie Jianlan being controlled by Emperor Liang and then the female police officer disobeying orders and committing suicide, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Ye Jingtang put Ma Shan on his shoulders, listened carefully, and frowned:

"Then you gave me a prescription to save people?"

Fan Qinghe shook his head and sighed: "Both Doctor Wang and the Medical Sage of Beiliang have determined that people who cannot be saved can't be saved. How can I treat people well? That girl was taking 'Sanhunjiu', a strange poison that appeared a thousand years ago. It is said that the soul will be scattered after being convinced. They can't even enter reincarnation, and they won't have the next life. Some people would rather be punished than eat this food. I checked the pulse at that time and found that the girl was being held up at all costs. Although her body was alive, her soul had long since dispersed. …”

"The soul is gone?"

"Well...it's just the living dead anyway. What's lying on the bed is just a cold corpse."

Fan Qinghe sighed softly: "If I had told him directly, Xie Jianlan would definitely have committed suicide, so I would have told him that there is an ancient recipe in the tribes of the West Sea, using flowers from the thousand-year-old Snow Lake Flower, white lotus from the end of the Northern Wilderness, and immortal The fruit core of the island, mixed with a medicine, can revive the soul and bring people back to life..."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he paused:

"Deliberately saying that these things are impossible to find in a lifetime, so that he can have a goal to live?"

Fan Qinghe shook his head: "This is indeed an elixir handed down from the Liang Dynasty. It is said to be able to bring the dead back to life and achieve immortality; but I guess the wizard who left this recipe was also trying to offend the First Emperor, who spent his whole life. I can’t find any medicinal materials, so naturally I can’t say that the wizard is not good enough…”

After hearing this, Ye Jingtang finally understood why Xie Jianlan was so crazy.

No one knows where the end of the Northern Wasteland is, and the same is true for Xianyu Island. The simplest of the three things is actually the Snow Lake Flower that countless people in the world have spent their entire lives unable to get.

Xie Jianlan knew in her heart that her daughter-in-law was dead, but she was unwilling to accept it. Even though she knew that the prescription was not true, she still ran to pursue it.

Regardless of the cost, risking your life with him may not be to gain anything, but because you know in your heart that what you are chasing is destined to be in vain, and there is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, so you want to die fighting for it before the truth is revealed and you are completely desperate.

Ye Jingtang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said:

"So, the bathing in fire picture is useless?"

"A bathing in fire diagram can regenerate a broken limb, and a broken brain can grow back. At most, it will only lose all memories. Of course, it can be saved, but only if the person is awake. Last time the Queen Mother was poisoned, you saw that her soul had already dispersed. How can you teach the bathing in fire diagram to a corpse?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang didn't say anything when he saw this, and quickly returned to the horse.

Dongfang Liren came over quickly, nodded to Aunt Fan in the side room, and then said with concern:

"Night Terror Hall, you were poisoned just now, are you okay?"

"Poisoned?"

Only then did Fan Qinghe remember that there was something wrong with Ye Jingtang's aura, so he quickly held his wrist to check, and then his face became nervous.

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly and said comfortingly: "I have a bathing in fire picture by my side. It's okay. I just need to rest for a day or two."

As he spoke, he came to squat next to Eunuch Cao and looked at Xie Jianlan, who was still being held down:

"You know that prescription might not work?"

When Xie Jianlan saw Fan Qinghe, her eyes sobered up a bit, and she uttered a sentence in her throat:

"People cannot be resurrected after death. If you want to kill, just kill. You have lived enough."

Ye Jingtang thought for a while and said: "The saying that people cannot be resurrected after death is only for mortals. If there are immortality techniques such as the Minglong Diagram in the world, there must be immortality methods. Since the people who created the Minglong Diagram can heal themselves, they must Can heal people.

"If I were you, since I have been searching in this world to no avail, I should use all my energy to delve into the great ways of heaven and earth. When I understand why the fire diagram can make bones grow flesh, and why the immortality diagram can live forever, is it not easy to save someone?

"Even if you still can't be saved by then, and you have mastered the method of immortality and escaped from reincarnation, you can leave this world like Wu Taizu and search further away. As long as your heart is not dead, you can always find a way. No matter how difficult the process is, It’s better than just looking for a random target and running around, only to end up doing nothing and thinking you’ve done your best.”

Xie Jianlan was pressed to the ground, and her eyes moved slightly when she heard Ye Jingtang's words.

Ye Jingtang stood up and wiped the sweat from his face:

"But I am me and you are you. If I don't have this kind of character, no matter how much I say, it's all in vain. My wife is soft-hearted and can't bear a girl who is so strong-willed that she dares to eat the 'Scattered Soul Dove'. She is so unkind that even the next life will be ruined." No, I will be much taller than you in the future. If I really find a cure, I will tell the Beiliang Medical Sage to see if he can be saved. As for you, you have some martial arts, but that's it. I don't care about life or death. "

After Ye Jingtang finished speaking, he hung the harness on the horse's side and got on the horse.

Dongfang Liren mounted his horse and turned around to add:

"Eunuch Cao, please give him a few words of advice. If he can't be persuaded, give him a ride, so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Eunuch Cao has always been pure in his work. If it is beneficial to the Dongfang family, he will be kept, and if it is harmful, he will be killed. Anyone may feel sympathy, but he will not. After hearing the second princess's instructions, he just nodded slowly.

Fan Qinghe was a girl with soft breasts. After seeing that girl's appearance, she always felt that both of them were miserable people. But Ye Jingtang's words, 'My wife is soft-hearted', obviously refer to her. She has already said this, and there is no point in saying more. She just sat behind Ye Jingtang and hugged her waist.

Ye Jingtang was indeed a little dizzy. He was sandwiched between the two older girls, but his eyes were still clear. Before leaving, he looked back at Eunuch Cao:

"All three teams have been destroyed. King Zuo Xian should not be able to find any manpower for the time being. However, to be on the safe side, I have asked Duke Cao to patrol the ice field in the past few days and make sure that all the teams delivering Snow Lake Flowers are blocked in the city. , when I turn back, let’s go to the lair of King Zuoxian again.”

Eunuch Cao looked at Ye Jingtang and felt a sense of disparity in his heart, "It's already the new year, but he, the old man from the previous dynasty, still regards himself as a figure." He sighed softly:

"We have Duke Ye in the Wei Dynasty, so our family can feel at ease. Take care of yourself along the way."

"drive--"

Dongfang Liren sat in front, holding the reins and gently clamping the horse's belly, and the charcoal-red horse galloped into the distance.

The birds hovering in the sky also landed on the horse's back. Three birds and one bird quickly disappeared at the end of the sky...
