Chapter 40 There is never a shortage of stories on the rivers and lakes
There is an unknown mountain a hundred miles away from the capital of Jiangguo. There is an inn called Chunfeng next to the official road.
The heavy rain baptized every corner of the mountain. In the middle of the night, the rain gradually became lighter and the rain still covered the inn.
The mountain roads are muddy, and the river water is turbid and thick.
The corridor on the second floor of Chunfeng Inn is silent and pitch black. Only when the lightning roars outside can you get a moment of lightning.
Scream-
The door opened.
A figure walked out of room No. 2 of A.
The footsteps were silently under the influence of the rain outside the inn.
This figure stood in front of the door of Room No. 1.
Lightning illuminated the corridor on the second floor through the windows of the lobby downstairs, reflecting the slightly hunched figure facing away from him.
Although the old man's name is Wei Jie, he actually has no blood relationship with the Wei family in Yanzi Town. The current head of the Wei family is his adopted son, and the origin is from a story many years ago.
Wei Jie is indeed a wild cultivator and his qualifications for cultivation are not very poor. However, his family is low and he was framed and unable to join the sect of cultivation, so he naturally has nowhere to seek justice.
When he was young, Wei Jie was full of passion and was filled with beautiful fantasies about the world and even the mysterious world, but was shattered by reality.
Even though he was only a small family that was unknown at that time, it was not something that Wei Jie could have offended back then. The reason why he was so fussy was that Wei Jie saw the rich playboy bully and domineering men and women on the street, thus upholding justice. With his good skills, he beat the playboy hard.
Such stories often happen in the world, and such stories will not be missing, but most of the early developments are very similar, but the subsequent results are very different.
Someone who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger is arrogant. The playboy fails to take revenge and is crushed to death in the endless abyss. Wei Jie, who has no strength or background, cannot bear the revenge of the playboy and ends up in a tragic ending.
Fortunately, when Wei Jie was most embarrassed, he met a young man.
The young man was the head of the Wei family who later lived in Yanzi Town, and the father of Wei Ni's father, the current head of the Wei family.
Later, many things happened. He didn't remember when he changed his surname to Wei, and even his original surname had been forgotten. Before he died as the head of the Wei family, he asked his son to become his adopted father and respect Wei Jie as if he was respected by him. Wei Jie was the guardian saint of the Wei family.
The Wei family was not a big family back then, but they also met many wild cultivators. However, there were few people with the qualifications among the Wei family’s children. Wei Jie’s appearance made up for the regrets of the Wei family back then and truly had a cultivator of his own.
Many people who taught Wei Jie's practice were taught that they had received the kindness of the Wei family. Wei Jie also integrated the strengths of the hundreds of schools and protected the Wei family to prosper. However, it was because the practice was inequality and took most of his life to break into the four realms, but it was not comparable to Peng De.
Afterwards, Wei Jie naturally avenged the family where the playboy who framed him, and even used bloody means to make the playboy taste the bad consequences. Since then, Wei Jie's personality has changed a little cold and has become the strongest man who fears him like a tiger.
As a result, the Wei family's enemies became more and more. Although Wei Jie had the ability to destroy any family in Yanzi Town, he did not dare to be an enemy of the entire Yanzi Town. In the end, it was because of the person who appeared in Yanzi Town more than ten years ago that the Wei family could only act in a low-key manner. However, after so many years, the Wei family began to have more other thoughts.
They were unwilling to stop and were eager to rule Yanzi Town, and even walked out of Yanzi Town, becoming a truly household name, and thus began to take action in secret.
In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, it is naturally necessary to win over more powerful practitioners. It is difficult to achieve success by relying on Wei Jie alone.
Recently, Wei Jie accompanied Wei Ni to try to be an ordinary powerful allies, and has attracted many family forces outside Yanzi Town. He will temporarily return to Yanzi Town tonight before passing through Chunfeng Inn.
Gu Shiyan, who lives in Room No. 1 of Jiazi, may have an extremely deep background. Even if she has no background, her cultivation level of entering the fourth realm is completely better than all the allies they have found.
Wei Jie thought that if he and Wei Ni could achieve good things, then the Wei family might be able to rule Yanzi Town soon. As for whether Gu Shiyan was willing, it was not within Wei Jie's consideration.
Of course, he has some way to do this.
But if it is not absolutely necessary, Wei Jie is unwilling to fight Gu Shiyan.
Tonight he plans to have a good talk with Gu Shiyan first.
The closed door was easily pushed open by him.
The room was pitch black.
A cool breeze came towards us.
Wei Jie couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The windows were wide open, and the cold wind roared in, accompanied by the slap of rain, and the stars fell on Wei Jie's face.
He looked towards the bed, and with the help of lightning outside the window, he found that there was already no one on it.
"Running?"
Wei Jie's face turned dark. He couldn't figure out when the other party noticed something was wrong, so he decisively fled from the inn.
Looking at the two windows that were shaking and colliding together in the cold wind, it means that the person in the room just ran through the window and escaped. Otherwise, he would not have heard such movements outside the door in advance.
Wei Jie didn't think much about it, and flew out of the window, shrouded under the rain, and chased him.
......
In the unknown mountains, the ground baptized by heavy rain was muddy. The figures running rapidly, stepping on the mud, causing mud to splash everywhere, but at the moment of raising the foot, the sludge stained on the soles of the boots was removed and flew away, and kept it clean at all times.
Wei Jie's pace gradually slowed down, and he saw Gu Shiyan holding an umbrella.
There was naturally the boy in black wearing a hat in his sight, but he subconsciously ignored it.
The hat is taken from Chunfeng Inn. As an inn, it naturally has umbrellas and hats that can shelter the rain. The reason why I didn’t hold an umbrella is because the walls of Room No. 1, there were hats and straw raincoats hanging on it.
Chunfeng Inn is located next to the official road at the foot of the mountain. It cannot be compared with the inns in the town. The environment is not very good. Even the room called A No. 1, which is called the best, is just tidy and has a larger space.
Li Mengzhou looked up at Wei Jie who was catching up with him, and remained silent.
Gu Shiyan faced Wei Jie with a white oil-paper umbrella, holding a sword in her right hand.
The dark rain curtain was covered with lightning and thunder, and it was lightning and dark.
At this moment, Wei Jie's voice suddenly broke the calm.
His eyes were so brilliant that he stared at Gu Shiyan tightly, and his voice hoarsely opened, "Where are you going?"
Gu Shiyan said indifferently: "Send you to the abyss."
Li Mengzhou sighed in his heart that Gu Shiyan was still so unforgivable. She looked like a fairy, but there was a devil living in her heart.
Hearing this answer, Wei Jie was silent for a moment and said coldly: "Young people should remember to be too arrogant when walking in the world. Even if they claim to have a background to rely on, the people behind you will not have time to come to save you."
Gu Shiyan said: "I do have a backer behind me, but I am not in Jiangguo. When facing the strong, I can lower my posture to protect myself, but some scum does not have such qualifications."
This is an even more unpleasant insult.
Wei Jie originally wanted to speak kindly and give some threats to make the other party submit. If conditions permit, he naturally wanted to talk about the background behind Gu Shiyan, but he didn't expect that the little girl would speak so badly, and every sentence was arguing at him.
The muscles under his broad robe began to tense and his brows frowned. He had to be prepared to fight with disagreement. If this matter could not be resolved calmly, he would have to use extraordinary means.
"Wei Ni likes you. He rarely falls in love with a woman so much, so I hope you can marry him."
"I hate you, and I rarely hate someone so much, so I hope you can die."
Li Mengzhou didn't want to get involved in the war between these two powerful men who entered the fourth realm, but after listening to this conversation, he couldn't help but want to make a few words, thinking that if he was Wei Jie and Gu Shiyan was so angry, he would have vomited blood long ago.
Although Wei Jie was not as serious as he was about to vomit blood, his face became extremely ugly. He looked down at his clenched fists. A very cold chill appeared in his hoarse voice, and he said softly: "There is no room for negotiation?"
Gu Shiyan said: "As long as you are willing to die, you can discuss when you will die and where you will die."
The expression on Wei Jie's face was finally completely curled. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then I can only subdue you and tie you up to Yanzi Town. What's wrong with marrying into the Wei family in a glorious way? Why bother to make trouble to such a point and lose face and self-esteem."
Gu Shiyan looked at Li Mengzhou and said, "Do you think this old man is as idiotic as the one named Peng?"
Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "I don't know if you are the same idiot, but you will definitely become dead."
Gu Shiyan doesn’t agree.
Wei Jie's face was indifferent, and the cultivation level of the fourth realm began to gradually reveal. The falling rain temporarily stopped in mid-air, as if a fault appeared. As his words fell, he tilted down again.
"court death."
The sword light cut open the rain curtain, and the water droplets fell on the sword and splashed out, crystal clear.
Wei Jie's sword arrived first.
Gu Shiyan's sword comes from behind.
Then they hit each other hard, making a sound of metal collision, accompanied by a clear sound of water droplets.
The two swords flew backwards and were held in their hands again by their respective masters.
Gu Shiyan was still holding a white oil paper umbrella, and her feet did not move a little.
Wei Jie looked at the sword in his hand expressionlessly, then looked up at Gu Shiyan opposite him, and said with appreciation: "I have met many opponents in my life, but this is the first time I have faced those young monsters. Even if you don't have the ability to stand at the top of the younger generation, your strength is already at a height that many people can't reach."
"But unfortunately, you met me."
