Qishan, which has existed in the world since ancient times, is listed in the same "earth spirit vein" with the two immortal mountains of Shihu and Zhugou. Legend has it that this is the habitat of the phoenix, the king of birds, and the "phoenix singing Qi Mountain" called by later generations comes from this. Later, through the changes of heaven and earth, the three mountains merged into one, and finally merged into Qishan.

The terrain here is extremely dangerous, and it is a place where soldiers must fight for hegemony in ancient times. One of the most famous areas is the part of the area where the two ancient kingdoms of Nishizaki and Asaga, fought each other.

The famous mountains and rivers in the primeval period have nearly 10 million years of fairy and clear spirits, and the ancient battlefields preserved in ancient times are a treasure land that attracts spirits and gathers spirits. In these two contexts, Qishan has become a major spiritual realm that still exists today.

At the foot of Qishan Mountain, Yuege Castle was once the capital of a small country between Nishizaki and Chaoge, and this capital was destroyed in the war during the dispute between the West and the Dynasty. It wasn't until the fall of the ancient tribe and royal family that the descendants of the four major families who originally lived in Yuege City returned to this place, rebuilt the city on top of this ruin, and agreed that the four families would jointly govern this territory.

These four families with compound surnames, that is, the famous "Four Veins of Moon Song" in Qishan today, are called Murong, Nangong, Shangguan, and Baili.

Moon Song City is not so much a city as it is the largest trading market in the world. In this month, there are all kinds of trading points in the song city, and there are all kinds of items on the market, only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy.

In addition, there are also those ghost markets that are hidden in the dark and are not easily known to outsiders, and it is rumored that those murder weapons or forbidden arts that have disappeared from the world may appear in the ghost market at any time and be auctioned publicly. And once this kind of thing appears, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm in all walks of life.

What's more worth mentioning is that the order here is different from other places, although it is jointly governed by the four vein families, but it pursues the law of "the law of the jungle". The so-called "law of the jungle" is commonly put: as long as you have enough money, power, or strength, you can even ignore the pressure of the four veins and take away all the items or news you want from here.

Of course, if you want to bargain in a place like Moon Song City, which can be called a "lawless place", in addition to the basic factors of money, power, and strength, the most important thing is to have extraordinary awareness and courage. There are a huge number of items on the market, and the news is also complicated and trivial, and the people who gather here are even more mixed, so there is no shortage of fake goods and false rumors in the transaction, and once a conflict is caused, those bloody things are inevitable.

If you can't see clearly, whether it's a gun or a hidden arrow, or a fake thing, you can put people in a situation where they are ruined or dead at any time.

All in all, the city of Moon Song is not only a point of intersection in all directions, but also a cradle for the breeding of evil!

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin were walking on the long street of the Song City at this time.

In order to find the whereabouts of the Youxuan Ji clan, it is definitely not enough to rely on the few things that Hongchen and Ye Xin said, and it is necessary to collect more materials about them. And in this Qishan area, the most well-informed place is undoubtedly this Moon Song City.

Ye Xin followed Lin Xiao's side unhurriedly, he was fast and she was fast, he was slow and she was slow, like an honest shadow - this was already a habit she had subconsciously developed these days, and she seemed to feel that as long as she followed him closely, many problems would become unproblematic.

Lin Xiao had a completely different idea, the ambiguous scene in the medicine house two nights ago still lingered in his mind, and now as soon as he saw Ye Xin, he would feel that his mind was in a mess, like paste.

But the two of them were walking together all the way and they didn't act too obviously, so they walked so quickly and slowly, wanting to distance themselves from her. As a result, after trying a few times, I found that Ye Xin was always with her, and I didn't know whether she was intentional or unintentional. In the end, I had to give up the struggle, calm down and walk side by side with her.

What Lin Xiao saw in his eyes were the people on both sides of the street who were fighting because of trading disputes, and there was a large group of people gathered there not to persuade them to fight, but to watch the excitement with great interest; what he heard in his ears were the sound of smashing bowls, scolding, and obscenity coming from wine shops, gambling houses, and green buildings, and he couldn't help frowning and clenching his fists: "This place is really enough for the miasma! Even if it is your Demon Realm Eternal Night Realm, I'm afraid it is much more orderly than here." ”

Ye Xin was born as an assassin, and her five senses were excellent, in addition to what Lin Xiao saw and heard, she could also hear the sounds coming from some dark alleys, all of which were adulterous/adulterous sounds, and occasionally she could smell a trace of blood, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Whether it is for the mortal rivers and lakes or for the cultivation realm, Moon Song City is a rare 'land of freedom', because the law of 'the law of the jungle' is pursued here, as long as there is enough capital, you can do whatever you want here. Ye Xin's face was covered with frost, and even his voice was extremely cold, "Because of the fact that the Four Veins Family is at the top of the upper echelons, and the forces in the city are already complex, in the past few hundred years, whether it is the Immortal Sect, the Sword Sect, the Demon Sect, or the Martial Arts Alliance, they have not been able to clear this filthy land." ”

"Those who dare to come to this Moon Song City are people who think they are strong, because those who are weak and pressed at the bottom because they have no ability, they will not escape the fate of being wiped out in the end. All identities and false names will not play any role here, no matter which country you are the emperor or the head of the sect, in the face of the most ruthless blackmail and killing, all beings are equal!"

The two walked in without a trace through the crowd of brawls outside a liquor store, but they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. I was blocked by the people at the door and didn't see the scene here, and after entering, I found that it was almost full of people, but now it's a little difficult to squeeze out. Lin Xiao swept around the row of seats by the window and pointed to a position at Ye Xin.

On the elegant seat, there is usually a large table of four or five people around a table, but there is only one person sitting next to the table that Lin Xiao is referring to now. The man was lying on the table, I don't know if he was drunk and sleeping or what, there was no baggage around him, and there were five or six empty small wine jars piled up on the table in front of him, which should have been drunk by him alone.

The man was wearing a long azure robe, which had not been washed in a long time, and was stained with wine and oil. His hair was not curled, but casually draped, and some of it was still a little branched. Whether it is from the appearance or the dress, you can see this person's sloppy character.

But what attracted Lin Xiao and Ye Xin the most was that this person had a long iron rope wrapped around his waist, which looked dark and dull, and seemed to be used as a belt. It is estimated that the man spilled the wine while drinking, and the iron rope was stained with undried wine, and the light shining faintly red in the light outside the window.

As long as you have walked around the rivers and lakes, you can recognize it at a glance - it is the blood stain left after a large amount of blood has dried up!

Lin Xiao stepped forward slowly and bowed to the man: "If there is no one in the empty seat on the side of the brother's platform, can you let the two of us sit for a while, I am grateful." ”

The man was still lying on his stomach, his face not showing a beat, and he did not move.

Lin Xiao didn't know if he was intentional or really asleep, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Ye Xin looked at the wine jars piled up on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Could this be that someone poisoned the wine and died after drinking it?"

"Hmm...... There is such a possibility. So Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and gently pushed it on the person's shoulder, and asked again, "This brother, are you okay?"

The man leaned down, and instead of waking up, he let out a slight snoring sound. However, as soon as he tilted his body like this, a face that looked unwashed was revealed from the crook of his circled arm, his mouth was slightly open, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a liquid that I didn't know whether it was wine or saliva flowed from his mouth, and he seemed to sleep quite sweetly.

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin glanced at each other with a smile, thinking: This person is really big-hearted, he can still sleep so peacefully in such a chaotic place, and the iron rope around his waist should not be an ordinary thing, and he is not afraid of being coveted, so he secretly wiped his neck.

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin sat down on the seat opposite the man, and called Xiao Er, who came to the wine shop, to serve two pots of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of dried meat.

Ye Xin rubbed the salt grains sprinkled on the surface of the peanuts, glanced at Lin Xiao with his spare eyes, and asked quietly: "How is your injury?" They were in a hurry this time, and left Ruofeng Village directly and went straight to Qishan without raising them properly for a few days. However, Lin Xiao did not have any symptoms of cold poison backlash along the way, so she asked.

Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly: "That's it." To be honest, the poison of Li Jiuyin's talisman was really much beyond his imagination. Although I can't feel the clues at ordinary times, as long as I have a good luck, I can feel that the Ziyang True Qi is always more or less mixed with impure breath, obviously there is an uncleaned cold poison that is still wrapped around some of the meridians in my body.

Faced with Lin Xiao's perfunctory answer, Ye Xin only lightly "hmmed" and did not say anything more.

2.

The four people at the adjacent table had already eaten and drunk enough, and beckoned Xiao Er to come over and remove the leftovers on the table, but did not leave, but leisurely made a pot of tea, gritted a toothpick and began to chat.

"Look at the Moon Song City today, there are really a lot of people here. A middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes said loudly while grabbing the hem of his clothes and wiping the steel knife in his hand.

"Not really. A white-clothed descendant sitting opposite him with a folding fan in his hand said, "The banquet will start in two days, and it will be a 'gluttonous feast' that can only be encountered in the Moon Song Ghost Market once in ten years." ”

"Not bad. The one of the four people wearing a long shirt and being as thin as a bamboo pole said, "Most of the treasures that appeared at that time were priceless treasures, and who would want to miss this excitement!"

The voices of these people were not too loud, but because they were so close, the words they said reached the ears of Lin Xiao and Ye Xin word for word.

The two looked at each other, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes. They have long heard of the ghost market in Moon Song City, it is said that it is the craziest trading place in Moon Song City, and those treasures and spiritual secrets that have disappeared in the world may appear in the ghost market at any time. Although the possibility of fakes is not ruled out, most people have the mentality that they would rather kill the mistake than let it go, as long as the thing appears, it must be a head snatch and get the thing.

But...... They have never heard of the "gluttonous feast" in their mouths, and according to their meaning, this "gluttonous feast" is only held once in ten years, and it seems that many people still flock to it.

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin quietly continued to drink on peanuts and dried meat, seemingly casually on the surface, but in fact, they were both listening intently to the movement from the next table. I only heard the last man in a long robe among the four people take a sip of the teacup, then put the cup down heavily, and said with a "hum": "Fart! What priceless treasure? Lao Tzu was fooled by a grandson in that ghost market last time, and spent a lot of money to buy a fake to go back! I can see that this kind of thing is all false and true, and it is not credible!"

The white-clothed descendant closed the folding fan with a "snap", and laughed playfully twice: "Then may I ask Brother Qu who came with him this time, what kind of family is it that is lively? Isn't it still for the 'gluttonous feast' thing!"

The man in the long shirt surnamed Qu was exposed by the white-clothed descendant, and he couldn't help but blush, hurriedly picked up the teacup and took two sips to hide his embarrassment, and sneered: "This is not ...... It's something that can only happen once in ten years, don't buy things, go to the eye addiction assembly......"

The white-clothed posterior smiled and helped him refill the empty teacup, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Brother Qu is right." I've heard people say that this time it's far better than the previous 'dishes'! If that's the case, even if you can't touch it, it won't be a disadvantage to take a closer look and have a good time. ”

"Oh?" the thin man who looked like a bamboo pole turned the teacup in his hand playfully, "Then Brother Chen talked to us about it, what is so extraordinary about this thing?"

The white-clothed Housheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Liu said that he laughed, this treasure will only be revealed at the banquet, where is there a reason to release the wind in advance." The reason why I say that this time is not simple is because I heard that the people of the four veins will come to the 'banquet' this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people at the same table were all surprised: "What?

The middle-aged man who wiped the knife just now frowned and said, "Although the once every ten years 'gluttonous feast' in this ghost market is organized in the name of the four veins, the people in the four veins rarely participate in it. ”

"What Brother Zhao said is good. The white-clothed post-embarrassment nodded, "And as far as I know, since the inception of this event, the people of the four veins have participated in a total of three times - one of them was when it was first opened, and the remaining two were because of the 'Xuan Ying Umbrella' and the 'Soul Destroying Banner'. ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, the hand holding the wine jug suddenly tightened, and Ye Xin also gasped gently, and the peanut twisted by his fingertips fell off his hand and fell on the table.

The Xuan Ying Umbrella and the Soul Exterminator Banner are both first-class fierce weapons in the world, and no matter which one of them is present, it is enough to cause an uproar. As far as the Xuanming Umbrella is concerned, there have been rumors widely circulated in the cultivation world about "the Xuanying Umbrella is out, and the Nine Shades listen to the order", and many sects have fought each other for this umbrella, killing each other with rivers of blood and corpses all over the field. In the end, the Xuanming Umbrella was taken away by the people of the Lechuan clan and suppressed under the Santu River in the underworld.

As for the Soul Destroying Banner, Lin Xiao was even more impressed. Back then, he was still an orphan, and when he was just brought back to the Ziyang Divine Sect by Yunya, there was an inner disciple within the sect who rebelled, practiced evil arts, and destroyed several villages around Kunlun Mountain with a soul extinguishing flag, causing the sect's century-old reputation to be almost destroyed.

In the end, this person was abolished by Yunya and brought back to the sect, and was sentenced to death in public, so as to alert the disciples under the sect, and the soul extinguishing banner was also destroyed. Lin Xiao was only four years old that year, and he watched that traitor being nailed to the immortal pillar and being tortured to death by a thousand knives, and finally being burned with the Soul Exterminator Banner and then crushed his bones and scattered to ashes!

Unexpectedly, these two pieces of hoodoo actually flowed out of the so-called "gluttonous feast" in the ghost market of Moon Song City!

Lin Xiao put down the wine jug in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Even murder weapons like the Xuan Ying Umbrella and the Soul Extermination Banner can appear here, it seems that the people hidden behind the ghost market in Song City this month are really not shallow." ”

Ye Xin said: "According to those people, this event is only held once every ten years, which is already very rare, if there are still many people like the white-clothed descendants who know the four veins will participate in it, then the people who come to Moon Song City this time are afraid that there will be much more people than usual, and the forces will become more mixed." ”

"But that's a good thing. Lin Xiao said, "We were originally afraid that directly inquiring about the whereabouts of the Youxuan Ji clan in this city would arouse the suspicion of others and startle the snake. Now that so many people are here, they have inadvertently covered for us. ”

The man in Tsing Yi who was lying opposite Lin Xiao suddenly moved slightly when he heard the words "Youxuan Ji Clan", but he only moved lightly, and then returned to his original state of sleep, which Lin Xiao and Ye Xin did not notice.

The four people at the next table were still discussing about this "gluttonous feast", and suddenly heard a person next to him sneering in a rough voice: "Damn! This is really a crooked melon and cracked dates, and he doesn't pee on his own to take pictures of his own virtue, and he dares to talk about this 'gluttonous feast', but he is not afraid to flash his tongue." But it was a big, rugged-looking man with a long beard who spoke.

The middle-aged man in sackcloth was talking about it, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, and slapped the table up, so strong that he even jumped up the teapot and teacup on the table. "Where did the turtle grandson come from, disturb Lao Tzu's interest here!" The thin man and the long-robed guest next to him also stood up, only the white-clothed descendant was still pouring tea into his cup unhurriedly.

Several people around the big man stood up in unison and pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists. The man raised his head and poured a big sip of wine, laughing: "Grandpa, I haven't named my name yet, but there is really a grandson who jumped out and admitted it himself!"

"You!" the Mai man knotted, and the steel knife came out of its sheath and pointed directly at the big man. The white-clothed Housheng who was still sitting laughed twice, shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, and said, "This must be the master of the Hongcang Lan Hong Hall of the 'Badao Hall', right?"

Hong Canglan sneered: "This little grandson knows your grandfather's name. ”

The white-clothed Housheng was not annoyed, he just smiled slightly, and said: "I have heard the great name of the Hong Hall Master for a long time, like thunder, I think that when the Hong Hall Master was the chief rudder of the sword and the former Jin Hall Master, he was also as majestic as he is now!"

Hong Canglan's face changed drastically, he was indeed a fire and usurped the throne before becoming the hall master, but he thought that he had eradicated all the people who knew about it, and those who were left were his own people, so it stands to reason that he would not tell this matter. But this descendant is obviously not from a sword background, listening to his meaning, he seems to know everything about the past, and he immediately became murderous, and said in a gloomy voice: "Boy, where did you come from, you dare to talk in front of Lao Tzu?!"

The white-clothed Housheng folded his fan, stood up, and bowed to Hong Canglan and said, "Don't dare, Xiaosheng Chen Qingfeng, please ask Hall Master Hong for more advice." ”

Hong Canglan frowned: "You are the 'white-clothed showman' Chen Qingfeng?......!"

The middle-aged man in Mai who was holding a steel knife sneered: "Lao Tzu and the four of them will not change their names, and they will not change their surnames, and 'riding the wind and waves' is also!"

Hong Canglan was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Who is it, it turns out to be the four 'Four Heroes of Jiangnan'." ”

The "Four Heroes of Jiangnan" is talking about the four in front of them, and the so-called "riding the wind and waves" in the middle-aged Mai is a name composed of one of the names of these four people - the middle-aged man in Mai with a steel knife is named Zhao Chengyun, the man in a long shirt is named Qu Pojun, the thin bamboo pole is also named Liu Langping, plus the "white-clothed showman" Chen Qingfeng, which happens to be the four words "riding the wind and waves".

"Lao Tzu heard that there are four famous heroes in the Jiangnan area, and the bullshit of 'chivalry and righteousness' is blowing loudly all day long, and I have long wanted to meet you for a while. Hong Canglan sneered, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, since we met here today, let's take a point!"

"Hall Master Hong said with a smile, the few people below don't have the courage and courage to compare with you!" Chen Qingfeng said with a smile.

Hong Canglan was angry: "You!"

Zhao Chengyun put the steel knife on his shoulder, admired Hong Canglan's half-green and half-white face, and said in a weird manner: "Just with a dog mongrel like you who usurped power, you are also worthy of talking to us!"

"He's not a thing, isn't it a good thing for you to 'ride the wind and waves'?!"

This sentence suddenly sounded in everyone's ears without warning, and at the same time, Lin Xiao and Ye Xin, who had been silently drinking and eating and watching the play next to them, were shocked, and turned their heads to the drunkard who was lying on his stomach and pretending to sleep in the seat opposite them.
