Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chapter 122 Storage
On New Year's Eve, the night of the 30th, the county town is brightly lit, and every household has lit lanterns. The cold wind is biting, but it cannot blow away the good and enthusiastic feelings in the hearts of the people during this special time of the Spring Festival.

The sound of firecrackers rang out from the doors of every household in every street and market. No matter whether they were rich or poor, they all heard the same sound of firecrackers.

and,
However, when every household was staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, on the eaves of Jinxiu Lane, there were two figures, one in front and one behind, chasing each other in the cold wind amid the sound of firecrackers.

Chen Ku walked quickly, his eyes fixed on the figure in front of him that was escaping quickly on the eaves:

"So, is he really my eldest brother?"

To be honest, his home had been in that state since he traveled through time.

As for this elder brother, I only had some vague outlines in my memory, so when the figure appeared, I was unable to recognize him at first sight.

But it is impossible for my mother and sister-in-law to have recognized the wrong person.

One is my own son, and the other is my bedmate. No matter what, I will never forget the figure of the person I am most familiar with and closest to, even if he or she is not present.

But as Chen Ku was now chasing the man in front of him, the doubts and suspicions in his heart were even greater.

In his memory.

His elder brother Chen Xin was, before the accident, at most a "drug smuggler" who traded medicinal materials from Yuan State and smuggled them to Ji State. Because he violated the law and was reported by Huang Ba, he eventually fell into a river in Yuan State and his whereabouts were unknown.

This is the impression given to the eldest brother Chen Xin, who has no special abilities at all.

But now.

The figure in front of me could actually gradually distance itself from me as I chased it!
This is not normal.

You know, even if Chen Ku didn't ride on the Stepping Swallow Horse at this moment, his leg strength was blessed by the spotted marten, which was far superior to that of the average master of internal energy.

But it’s impossible to catch up in a short time?

Chen Ku frowned.

Are you even doubting the identity of the person in front of you?

It has been more than a year since my eldest brother Chen Xin got into trouble, almost two years...

Doubt in my heart.

But since my mother and sister-in-law have recognized the person, we need to catch up and get to the bottom of it no matter what.

Therefore,
He first took off Zhao Chuanzu's transformation and put on the stepping Yan horse.

Suddenly,

His feet moved like the wind, and with two steps he covered a distance of four or five meters in a flash. His speed was so fast that it could be called "teleportation". He immediately reduced the distance between him and the person in front of him by one third, and kept getting closer.

only.

Chen Ku was born cautious.

After changing into the Stepping Swallow Horse, he did not forget that he did not bring any weapons. At this time, it was too late to go back to his yard to get the stick, but looking at the direction, the small yard in the outer city where he stored many of his personal belongings was not far away.

The five thousand stone purple gold Sirius bow that Coach Chai Bao gave him is over there.

He temporarily removed the fire mouth pot in the second picture and replaced it with Volcano Crow. A red smoke spread out from under his feet and spread into an alley. Then he transformed himself into Volcano Crow and went to get the Purple Gold Sirius Bow.

that's it.

Chen Ku continued to chase the man in front of him, but he was even more surprised in his heart:

"Something is not right. My transformation map did not give me any warning, perhaps because he did not have any ill will towards me. However, the hound sense of smell in the transformation of the marten was unable to detect the scent approaching just now. In fact... I am now using the hound sense of smell to lock onto him, but I cannot smell the scent of the person in front of me..."

This is a bit evil.

The Greyhound has the blood of the ancient demon 'Moon-Eating Heavenly Dog' and has the keenest sense of smell. Chen Ku was able to come this far thanks to his amazing sense of smell from the Greyhound, which laid a good foundation for him.

From then on, the greyhound's sense of smell provided him with a lot of convenience in many incidents he encountered, and he never made any mistakes.

This is the first time,
You can't smell anything on a person.

The man in front seemed to have been fleeing far away when Chen Ku chased him out, trying to distance himself from Chen Ku. He took a deep breath several times, but was unable to face Chen Ku who had changed into the Tayan horse.

The distance between the two of them was constantly shrinking.

despite this.

Soon, the two of them, one in front and one behind, one chasing and the other hiding, finally left Baojiao County and arrived at the wilderness outside the city. Not far away was the Longjiang River, which was majestic and endless. The cold air in the river was already blowing in their faces.

Fortunately, Chen Ku sensed that the Volcano Crow was flying in the air, a bit faster than himself, and was already above his head. He spread his feet and dropped his bow and arrow from the air.

Chen Ku took a leap into the air, caught the Sirius bow with his left hand, and crossed over the quiver with his right hand.

The falling body spun and landed on the top of a bare tung tree. He then took out an arrow from his quiver, drew the bow, and aimed at the person running in front.

The golden eyes were hundreds of miles away, and followed his body movements.

There was a slight gleam of light in his eyes!
Whoosh!
Release two fingers.

The arrow flew out like a meteor, leaving a series of explosive sounds in the sky.

In just a moment, he had traveled a distance of five or six hundred feet!
A shooting star!
The man only felt a whistling air current that broke through the sky from behind his head. He turned back subconsciously and saw an arrow passing by his body half a meter away...

The airflow carried by the arrow hit his face.

The next moment, there seemed to be a sound of earth and fog exploding on the ground behind him.

Look back.

The arrow was already stuck diagonally into a tree ten feet away.

"I don't care who you are, just stand still. If you move one more step, the next arrow I shoot won't be aimed at a tree, but a person."

The man heard a voice floating in the night sky, with the air of youth, but the temperament and meaning of the words were as hard as iron, giving him a feeling that he could not disobey.

He looked at the arrow stuck in the tree. It was shot from five or six hundred feet away and pierced into the tree trunk without any feathers. Anyone could imagine the terrible power of this arrow.

Perhaps he was afraid of the power of the arrow, or perhaps there was some other reason.

The man really stood still.

He slowly turned around, looked at the young man with a bow standing on the treetop several hundred feet away, and spoke.

"It's amazing that you're capable of that."

Chen Ku stared at the man who turned around with his golden eyes.

The other party was leaning against the Longjiang River at this time, with the surging water lapping against the shore behind him, which made him look somewhat extraordinary. Although it was night and the distance was very far, Chen Ku could still see the other party's face clearly.

"Are you really the eldest brother?"

Even though he only remembered the appearance in his memory, he would never mistake it when he saw this identical face.

But Chen Ku did not step forward to recognize him immediately, but subconsciously focused his attention on the way the other person spoke.

"What you said just now was a secret transmission of internal energy?"

He was hundreds of feet away just now, all because his internal energy was perfected. People who practice martial arts have a lot of confidence, so their voices are loud and can be heard far away.

But what the other party said just now was clearly similar to the "secret sound transmission" demonstrated by Master Yang Luchan.

This,
But it was at least a martial arts method that could only be performed by the Xuanguan Realm. Chen Ku stared at the other party's facial expression with his golden eyes, waiting for the other party's response, and the bow and arrow in his hand did not fall.

The man in his eyes looked somewhat similar to him, but seemed more mature than him.

At this time, looking at him.

The man had a stern face and spoke softly:
"There is more than one path in the world: martial arts. Baojiao County is too small, Qiulong Prefecture is not big either, and Ji State is just one of the vassal states."

Chen Ku raised his eyebrows slightly.

He just wanted to ask whether the other party was using secret voice transmission, why did the other party say all this?
Tell him first that what he is learning is not martial arts?

Slightly silent.

Changed the question:
"It's New Year's Day. Since you're back, why don't you go in and report that you're safe? At least let your family know whether you're dead or alive."

The man said, "Baojiao County is not a place to stay for long. If possible, it is best to leave early and go somewhere far away, such as Qiulong Prefecture, Youzhou, or other places."

Chen Ku frowned.

He felt that there was too much information in this sentence.

"I originally wanted to take you to my place, but now it seems that regardless of whether you are willing or not, it is safer for your family to be with you."

After a moment of silence, the man slowly said:
"My body can't hold on for much longer after running just now. Before I leave, I'll put the things I was going to take home here as a token of my appreciation."

Ok?
After hearing this, Chen Ku subconsciously wanted to ask a question.

But he looked at the other person, his pupils shrank slightly.

"what?"

I saw.

The man standing by the Longjiang River, after saying that, suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and then turned into a small paper man and a small cloth bag and fell to the spot.

Chen Ku watched this scene from afar.

There was an incredible look in his eyes.

Although he had gotten used to his ability to transform other things after mastering the Transformation Diagram, it was still the first time he saw someone transform into a paper figure...

Chen Ku frowned and looked at the paper man that fell to the ground in the distance, full of hesitation.

He stood there thinking for a long time.

In the end, he walked over there cautiously and vigilantly.

A distance of several hundred feet.

Soon Chen Ku arrived at the place where the man disappeared. He bent down slightly and saw a yellow paper man left there with a hide bag next to it.

The yellow paper man has a nose and eyes, and is no different from the small paper figures that are cut out and buried in graves with the host family in rural areas when someone dies.

Chen Ku frowned and said to himself: "Paper man clone?"

No wonder I couldn’t smell anything along the way.

This seems to be a completely different system from the practice of martial arts.

In fact, although Chen Ku didn't know much about this vast world, he had some basic knowledge. At least, when the Ping'an Dao demon appeared in the world with talisman paper, he became clear about some things.

That is, in this world, there is not only martial arts practice for warriors, there are also some other means of practice.

It was just that after the Daji Dynasty was founded on military power, it implemented a policy of isolation and "respecting martial arts alone and suppressing all other schools of thought". All miscellaneous practices and methods other than martial arts were classified as evil magic and sorcery. For this reason, it even launched a 30-year "anti-magic movement" at the beginning of the founding of the country, and finally cleared out all the large and small evil magic sects within the country. In the end, although there were still some left, they were only two or three big cats and small cats. Once they showed up, everyone would chase them away and they would become rats in the gutter.

Therefore, as soon as Ping An Dao appeared in Baojiao County, he was called a "demon".

But even if it is Ping An Road.

It was just drawing on talisman paper. Chen Ku had read their doctrines and methods of talismans for peace. It was nothing more than grabbing spirits from the void, or drawing talismans with one's own spirit.

Paper man clone!

At least in Ling'e's memory and what she had learned, she had never seen Ping'an Dao use such means.

Relating to what Chen Xin just said...

The world is not the only path to martial arts, and Ji State is just one of the vassal states in the world. Chen Ku has a vague guess:

"It seems that my elder brother has joined some sect in Yuan Country?"

The Ji Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, but the Yuan Dynasty did not.

Therefore, some magic spells that are rare in Ji State are not prohibited in Yuan State.

The Fire Mouth Pot, a magic weapon of the Fourteenth Realm in the Yuan Kingdom, seems to be a kind of evidence.

Call ~
Chen Ku let out a breath.

Are there other paths besides the two paths of martial arts and magic? Which one is better? What is the reason for Ji State's ban? All of this has nothing to do with him and there is no point in thinking too much about it.

He only cares about the present.

What is Chen Xin doing in Yuan State now? What is his status?
What does it mean when it is said that “Baojiao County is not a place to stay for long”?
Are the two countries going to go to war?
Or is it because of the 'King of Heroes's Treasure'?
These seemed to be the only things Chen Ku could think of.

It can't be that he is some great demon who wants to refine all the 100,000 households in Baojiao County into the Zunhun Banner.

He shook his head.

No matter how you say it.

That sentence should be the most important reminder Chen Xin gave to himself and his family, and it also planted a sense of insecurity in his heart.

then.

Only then did he look at the animal skin bag next to the paper man.

"Leave something for me?"

Chen Ku curiously untied the animal skin bag. There was a small rope tied to it. He gently pulled it open and looked inside the bag...

However, the inside of the bag was so dark that even his night vision could not see inside.

There was a slight movement in his heart.

Could it be...

He subconsciously turned the bag upside down, squatted on the ground, and shook it gently towards the ground.

Listen.

There was a ruckus...

There was a series of clinking sounds, and from the small bag, a lot of stuff poured out, enough to cover an entire bed.

"Storage bags!"

Chen Ku looked at the things that were poured out of the animal skin bag and all over the floor. He did not look at the things on the floor first, but looked at the bag in his hand with great surprise:
"This... Big Brother actually gave me a storage bag!"
