Today is the second chapter!

The night was pitch-black!
The cold night wind blew across the entire Wuan County City. Teng Qingshan sat on the second floor of the pavilion. There were no candles lit in the pavilion, so it was pitch-black. There were two pots of wine on the table. Occasionally, he would drink a cup. The cold night wind blew against his robe, but Teng Qingshan still sat by the table.
In the pitch-black pavilion, Teng Qingshan sat silently.
"Kitten, I didn't expect to meet a girl who looks so much like you in this life! I don't know, but she has grown up. Does she still look like you? " Teng Qingshan said softly, "Sigh … … Originally, I thought I had almost forgotten you after my previous life! But after seeing this Little Jun, I realized … … I still remember every smile, every frown, and even the words you said to me. All of these seem to be engraved on my soul. Even though I am reborn, I still can't forget them. "
A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face.
"Kitten, it seems like it will be very difficult for your man to find another woman to love in this life! This is all your fault. "Teng Qingshan drank another cup of wine.
… …
That night, Teng Qingshan did not sleep, nor did he sit cross-legged and meditate. He just sat alone in the pitch-black pavilion for the whole night.
*****
Early morning.
Li Jun, who was dressed in green, dashed into the mansion, looking for Teng Qingshan.
"Lady Jun, you are up so early." The fat man said with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, where is Big Brother Teng?" Li Jun asked anxiously.
"Lord Commander left early in the morning for the Boorish Desolate." The fat man said with a smile.
"Left?" Li Jun was startled.
The fat man hastily said, "Lord Commander asked Lady Jun to stay here. Lord Commander will help you with the matter of revenge. Also — — "As he spoke, the fat man took out a gold note from his bosom." This is a hundred taels of gold. Lord Commander gave it to me before he left. If Lady Jun wants to buy a house or get married in the future, you can use this gold. "
Li Jun looked at the banknotes and her eyes filled with tears.
One hundred gold taels was equivalent to ten thousand silver taels. It was enough for him to live a normal life.
"Buy a house, get married …" Li Jun's tears flowed silently.
…
Helping Little Jun once made Teng Qingshan's memories of his previous life even more profound. Teng Qingshan's mood became somewhat gloomy, and he no longer had the leisure to tour the mountains and rivers. Instead, he advanced swiftly all the way. On the same evening, Teng Qingshan arrived at the small city that was closest to the Boorish Desolate in the entire Yangzhou — Southern Barbaric City!
Nanman City was about the same size as Yi City.
However, because Southern Barbaric City was the closest city to the Wildlands within Yangzhou, Southern Barbaric City was very prosperous. Some martial artists who were not afraid of death to explore the Desolate Lands, as well as some herb gatherers who went to the edge of the Desolate Lands to pick some medicinal herbs, all gathered in Southern Barbaric City. After all, although the Wilderness was dangerous, there were many medicinal herbs that were difficult to find in other places.
Inside Southern Barbaric City.
"Innkeeper, prepare a superior room." Teng Qingshan walked into the hall on the first floor of an inn and ordered, "Bring another table of food and wine." As he spoke, Teng Qingshan chose a seat by the window and sat down.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter immediately came over with the menu.
After ordering some food and wine, Teng Qingshan began to eat and drink.
"Little Jun, this child, has lost all her relatives. I'm afraid she will need a period of time to fully recover." Teng Qingshan thought to himself as he ate. Towards that Li Jun … Teng Qingshan did not have any romantic feelings in his heart. After all, Li Jun was only a thirteen year old girl, younger than his sister Xiao Yu.
As for Teng Qingshan's mental age, he was probably old enough to be Li Jun's father.
This, was only a brother's concern.
"Yes, she is in Wuan County City. With Old Wang taking care of her, she will not be in danger. In the future, she will have to rely on herself. "Teng Qingshan understood that he was merely a passerby in Li Jun's life.
"Whew!"
A middle-aged man in a grey robe, wearing a bamboo hat, strode into the inn. When he saw Teng Qingshan, a trace of surprise flashed past his eyes. Subsequently, the middle-aged man went up the stairs.
… …
In a private room on the third floor, a sumptuous meal was placed on the round table. Three middle-aged men and two elders sat around the table. All five of them were dressed in grey robes. One of the elders was the elder of Yangzhou's Chu County's' Tie Yi Hall ',' Wei Canglong '. The five of them were chatting and eating happily.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The sound of knocking rang out. The five people in the private room all quietened down.
"Come in." Wei Canglong said.
After the door was pushed open, the middle-aged man in a grey robe walked in. When the five people at the table saw the person, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This person closed the door of the private room, took off his bamboo hat and immediately said, "The matter has been settled! However … I came up from below just now. I saw the Gui Yuan Sect's Teng Qingshan on the first floor! "
"Teng Qingshan!" The five of them were slightly shocked.
Wei Canglong turned his head and looked at the handsome middle-aged man beside him. "Martial Brother, could it be that Teng Qingshan is here because the Gui Yuan Sect knows about our Tie Yi Hall's secret?" Judging from Wei Canglong's tone, this handsome middle-aged man was actually the leader of this group of people.
"Within our Tie Yi Hall, there are very few who know about this secret! It's unlikely that the Gui Yuan Sect knows. " The handsome middle-aged man shook his head. "However, this secret was also obtained by our Tie Yi Hall in Xuyang County. Could it be that the Gui Yuan Sect also found some clues in Xuyang County? "
The six people in the private room all quietened down.
This matter was of great importance.
"Martial Brother." Wei Canglong frowned. "Teng Qingshan is the commander of the Gui Yuan Sect's Black Armoured Corps. Why would he come to Nanman City for no reason? I can't think of anything else. So, I'm worried that he's secretly following us. In fact, it's not just him. There are other people that we haven't discovered yet. "
These words made the hearts of the people present hang in suspense.
"If we're targeted by them, we'll be in trouble."
"Martial Granduncle, what should we do?"
… …
All of them looked towards the handsome middle-aged man.
"Don't scare yourself!" The handsome middle-aged man shook his head. "If there were other people from the Gui Yuan Sect, we would have discovered them long ago. But if Teng Qingshan is alone … Hmph, if he overestimates himself, he'll be courting death. Don't worry about this. Let's finish dinner and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for the Boorish Desolate! "
"Yes."
The other five people respectfully responded.
*****
Early in the morning, the six people from Tie Yi Hall wore grey long robes and bamboo hats as they quickly left Nanman City and entered the Boorish Desolate on foot. After all, there were many mountains and valleys in the Boorish Desolate. It was impossible to ride a horse in there and they could only rely on their two legs. Teng Qingshan left a little later than the six people from Tie Yi Hall.
The sun rose.
Teng Qingshan left the south gate of Nanman City and headed south.
"The Boorish Desolate … I really don't know how big the Boorish Desolate is." Looking at the vast expanse of darkness in the distance, he could even vaguely make out the steep mountain peaks standing in the clouds in the distance. This was the Boorish Desolate! The most dangerous region in the entire land of the Nine Prefectures.
From 'Yangzhou' in the southeast of the land of the Nine Prefectures, 'Yanzhou' in the south, and 'Rongzhou' in the southwest, the south of these three prefectures was the Boorish Desolate!
As for the depth of the Boorish Desolate, it was not recorded in the books.
"On the map of the Gui Yuan Sect, it's only recorded that the depth of the Boorish Desolate is over two thousand Li. Further in … … there's nothing. " Teng Qingshan lowered his head and looked at the map in his hand. After determining the direction, he kept the map and continued to stride forward.
… …
There were few people in the Boorish Desolate. The withered leaves on the ground were all piled up, making a sound when one walked on them. The ancient trees had grown for an unknown number of years. After walking for a few hours, Teng Qingshan saw the largest tree, which was at least three Zhang wide.
"I wonder which one is bigger, the Boorish Desolate or the Amazon in my previous life!" Teng Qingshan had trained in the Amazon in his previous life. "However, the Amazon is mostly water bodies. Here, however, is a forest filled with wild beasts, venomous snakes, venomous insects, and even demonic beasts. It's much more dangerous! "
The smell of withered leaves and withered branches permeated the forest. The huge trees that covered the sky caused the air here to be very oppressive.
Teng Qingshan's steps were light and quick. This ancient Boorish Desolate was like his own home.
On a dark tree at the side, there was a similarly dark venomous snake coiled around it. It was staring at the fast moving human — — Teng Qingshan!
"Xiu!" The venomous snake that had been accumulating power for a long time suddenly shot out like a black lightning, biting towards Teng Qingshan.
"Hu!"
Teng Qingshan's steps didn't change at all. The Blood Imbibing Saber in his hand drew a red light, and the venomous snake fell from mid-air. The two halves of its body were still twitching on the ground. Its life force was indeed strong. However, Teng Qingshan didn't even look at it and continued to stride forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already far away.
Venomous snake?
Teng Qingshan wasn't afraid of poison at all. Furthermore, with the sensitivity of his six senses, these venomous snakes and ferocious beasts wouldn't be able to hide from his senses.
… …
Teng Qingshan's speed was fast, while the six men from Tie Yi Hall were slower. Although they were all experts, and one of them was even an Innate Master. However … … they didn't dare to underestimate the snakes and insects in the Boorish Desolate. Especially the experts in the Postliminary Realm.
Even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured!
"Silver Horn Mountain is more than two thousand Li deep. This Boorish Desolate is filled with forests and lakes, as well as snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts … … I'm afraid we'll need half a month to reach there. " Wei Canglong and the others were all holding onto their weapons. In the Boorish Desolate, even those ranked in the 《Earth Ranking》 could lose their lives if they were bitten by the insects!
Danger was everywhere!
"Someone's coming!" The handsome middle-aged man's expression was grave and stern as he shouted in a low voice.
The other five immediately quietened down.
From afar, a figure flashed past quickly and glanced in their direction.
"It's Teng Qingshan!" Wei Canglong's expression changed.
The faces of the few of them turned ugly.
"This Teng Qingshan is following behind us … …" Another expert from Tie Yi Hall looked towards the handsome middle-aged man and said, "Martial Granduncle, that Teng Qingshan is probably really following us! The moment they exited Nanman City, they saw a boundless plain. He didn't dare to chase too fast. Only when they reached the Boorish Desolate, did he rush to catch up. If it wasn't for Martial Granduncle who sensed the sound just now, we probably wouldn't have discovered him. "
"It could be a coincidence … …" Someone else spoke up.
However, the handsome middle-aged man said in a low voice, "We met him last time, and we met him again this time. Maybe it's a coincidence. However, it could also be that he's following us. "
"It doesn't matter if it's real or fake! Our Tie Yi Hall's secret cannot be exposed! Once it's exposed and spread … … Not only will our Tie Yi Hall not be able to prosper, it will also attract a disaster. "The handsome middle-aged man said coldly," Liu Jian, follow them and kill Teng Qingshan! "
