Chapter 9: Forge a Sword with Fire
Zhou Zhai Square, a wide gathering place in Huangshi Town, was first built by a large family surnamed Zhou, with hundreds of neat bluestone paving, with the rare Mo Dai sand stone wall at that time, the eaves of the sandalwood carved monsters, the high wall house on the top of the long vermilion tile in the south of the Yangtze River, the wide seven or eight independent small houses, plus the square that can accommodate 100 people, even a hundred years later, it will feel that it has a unique style. However, for some reason, the original famous Zhou family disappeared one day, and the houses left behind gradually declined, and now only these antique-like dilapidated houses can be remembered, and this square can accommodate people to meet.
The square was brightly lit at this time, and the hour was still a quarter of an hour before dawn, but it seemed to be full of people, and the original few painted red lanterns were not bright enough, and some people even waved with blazing torches.
An old man with two gray temples stood on the high platform, as if reading something, and there were a hundred black-clothed saber guards standing under the stage, and in the center were a hundred people in various costumes. I only heard the old man say: "Today, the elders and principals of the town are summoned here, and their intentions are twofold, the first is the Zhong family's father and son and their subordinates who catch fish and meat, and the second is Huangshi Town, which has discussed with you to lift the locks of the yellow sand, so you don't have to be bullied in the future." ”
After speaking, the people of Huangshi cheered one after another, several peasant men secretly wiped their tears, and an admired old man also cried, everyone comforted each other and congratulated each other, eliminating the harm of the evil tiger, and the difficulty of lifting the ban, how could these two happy events that were bigger than the newlywed and birthday not make everyone crazy?
An old woman in coarse linen clothes cried and shouted: "Officers and soldiers, you are finally here, you don't know how the father and son of the Zhong family deceive people, my little daughter is not yet fifteen years old and was forced to be happy by the Zhong Bridge, the little girl broke her father's leg if she didn't obey, if it wasn't for Master Shen to stop me, maybe my family would not have a head to live." A thin man said excitedly: "That Zhong Tiefeng livestock, forcibly occupied two acres of land in my house and said that he wanted to plant some blue cherry trees, we refused, so he took the nursing home to destroy everything in our house, my seventy-year-old father couldn't stop it, and was pushed down by that bastard Zhong Qiao and knocked to the back of the head, and when I reacted, my father and his old man were out of breath......"
There are dozens of examples of such grievances, ranging from raping young girls, beating people to death for no reason, and smaller ones occupying land and forcibly collecting rent and taxes, and the people in the town have long wanted to repay the Zhong family's father and son who have committed many evil deeds, but the Zhong family's overlord Huangshi has no access to the outside world, and there is nowhere to sue if he wants to defend himself! But today is different, they finally waited for the officers and soldiers of the Nine Provinces Alliance, these people who can rescue them and rescue Huangshi.
Fang Bingzhu was also sad about the enthusiasm of the people of Huangshi, so he said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I am Fang Bingzhu, the second commander of the black-clothed tooth hunting of the direct troops of the Nine Provinces Alliance. Just as the people set off a higher fanaticism, Fang Bingzhu would not just say empty words, and said that their 300 troops had entered Huangshi Town, and the leader Ren Jianying had led 200 people to tightly surround the Zhong family's courtyard, just waiting for Tianming to launch an arrest order. After Fang Bingzhu informed such a practical arrest plan, the excited people also calmed down and returned home one after another to inform their neighbors.
"Now that I've warned the townsfolk not to go out this day, I think I'll have plenty of energy to deal with the enemy. Fang Bingzhu smiled indifferently, although he was worried about the challenge of the masters behind the Zhong family and the families and sectarian forces hidden in the shadows, but fortunately, he was able to do such a blessing for the people in his lifetime, and he was not afraid of any danger.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, a bird chirp broke Fang Bingzhu's thoughts, and when he looked up, his pupils quickly contracted, as if he had seen something terrifying.
It was a white crane, as if it was flying above the clouds, and on the white crane, a purple-robed man stood proudly, looking like a fairy wind Taoist from a distance, and a handsome and talented man up close.
"I've been waiting for you, I'm late. “
Before anyone arrives, the sound is heard first. I saw that in mid-air, a purple-robed man jumped down leisurely, tapped his toes, and his body was like a feather fluttering down, at this time his dress and face were completely exposed in front of everyone: black as ink-colored long hair scattered behind the drape, as deep as Qinghai eyes flashed with arrogant light, sable sleeves were noble and noble, rhino skin robe horns were solemn and colorful, his face was handsome, such as Gui Rulan, graceful, extraordinary, how could the brush be the talent under the eaves, and how could it be a thing in the pool to point out the world?
The black-clothed toothcatcher was terrified when he saw the person falling from the sky, but he did not panic, and quickly drew his scimitar and surrounded the high platform. Fang Bingzhu raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to act rashly, he just looked at the purple robe, his eyes were dull.
The purple-robed man landed slowly and said with a heartfelt smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm here for a cast for everyone to enjoy and open your eyes." By the way, my name is, Cang Fukai!"
This scene was seen by everyone, the black-clothed tooth catcher did not move because he was instructed by Fang Bingzhu, and the dozens of people who had not left thought that the person who came was the black-clothed tooth catcher, and they also raised their interest and watched again, wanting to see what this immortal man riding a crane was capable of.
Cang Fu Kai smiled and said to the surroundings: "Where is the boy?" When everyone was looking around, two Dao robe boys who were about twelve or thirteen years old appeared strangely, they carried a half-human tall black tripod and ran away, looking extremely funny, but no one laughed at the scene, more surprised, some people may have seen the texture of the big tripod and speculated its exact weight, and may also be surprised that the two boys came without a trace.
"Bang!" Da Ding landed on three legs, stirring up a stream of stone dust, and the boy then sat cross-legged on the left and right of Da Ding, his eyes seemed to be pretending to sleep. When everyone guessed the identity of the boy, the purple-robed man slapped his palm on the body of the ding, and the blue-red flames ignited in the big tripod in front of everyone's eyes, and the flames quickly devoured the big ding, and the flame light illuminated the entire square in blue and red, which was extremely eerie and terrifying.
"Divine Technique, could it be that this Lord is an immortal cultivator?" Some people exclaimed, some people were shocked and panicked, and some people were at a loss, and they could only leave a dull expression to express their inner emotions. Many of the people in the black cloaked were also extremely surprised, and they forgot the vigilance that should be guaranteed on such a special occasion. Only Fang Bingzhu, who was closest to Dading, had an indifferent look in his eyes, and he didn't care about everyone's expressions, or he had lost his expression.
Cang Fukai laughed proudly and shouted: "I am the purple-robed sword demon Cang Fukai, today I am based on the trick of three thousand soldiers, and I am going against the sky to forge a sword, are you willing to thief God?"
