Chapter 276: The Four Great Assassins
Seeing something taken out, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little curious, just a yellowed piece of paper in front of him, which looked a bit like yellow table paper, but it looked ordinary, and there was nothing worthy of being so treasured, so Qin Chuan just stared at this piece of paper, but he didn't speak, Qin Chuan has always disliked it as a dumb riddle, and he still hopes that he will say it himself.
Xiao Lou swept around, Qin Chuan only felt that the surroundings were very quiet for a moment, and he couldn't hear the sound of drinking next to him at all, Qin Chuan was instinctively startled, and later learned that it was Xiao Lou who turned the aura of heaven and earth into a cover to cover this side.
Xiao Lou lowered his head and drank, and said slowly: "I can only hold on to half a pillar of incense for the time, otherwise it will not be good to be discovered by the temple." Although we are not afraid of them with our cultivation, we are just going to have a lot of dreams at night, so you should finish it quickly. ”
He nodded, and then ignored Xiaolou, carefully spread out the paper in his hand, and saw that small characters were densely written on it: The disaster of the Longguo began in Lingnan, the land of Sanqin, the river of fertile fields, the rise and fall of a hundred years, and it was a snap of a finger. Looking at the words on it, it has been some years, and Qin Chuan only feels goosebumps. Decades ago, someone calculated that he might be the one who caused trouble in the country, what kind of person should this be.
He Wu casually tore the paper in his hand into pieces, put it into the pear charcoal at the bottom of the pot, watched it turn into ashes little by little, and then said very easily: "This is an old friend of mine who used all his luck on it before he died, so he calculated this heavenly opportunity." As I said before, in addition to not being able to calculate his own fate, the person who is shocked can be counted for some other things, and it is not very unusual for a character like him to be able to calculate this thing. But as I said before, if you go to the capital, you can't do it yourself, you have to find me first. ”
When Qin Chuan saw what he said, he knew that he would not kill himself today, otherwise relying on Xiao Lou's Upper Three Realms, how could he let himself run away. But Qin Chuan still had some doubts, why the person who was shocked turned out to be himself, and not someone else. But it was not interesting to discuss this at this time, so Qin Chuan thought that since the martial arts cultivation was so profound, it was better to take advantage of this time to ask him some questions.
"He Ye, you have been in the martial arts for a long time, and today I have some questions that I want to ask for advice or two, but I don't know whether to ask them or not. If you break your taboo, you can yawn and don't want to answer, don't embarrass yourself. Qin Chuan picked up a glass of wine and toasted to something.
Seeing Qin Chuan so calm, what thing felt curious, Qin Chuan was so old, what question did he want to ask? So he nodded, signaling Qin Chuan to say that although he spoke, it was okay to say.
Qin Chuan thought for a while and said very seriously: "The old Tao said before that there were four people who used swords in the world before and there were still excellent swordsmanship. Li Canghai is counted as one, and his cultivation is Haoran's swordsmanship, and his emphasis is on going straight and upright; he who splits the Taoist temple is counted as one, and he cultivates the Tao of the common people, and the sword contains the momentum of daring to be the first in the world. The Tianzi killer in the dark city is counted as one, and no one knows what kind of swordsmanship he is cultivating, because everyone he has seen is dead. That's what he said that day, but when I asked him about another person, he said he was dead. I want to know, who is the remaining one of the four great swordsmen in the world?"
Hearing Qin Chuan ask this, He Wu gasped, he didn't expect Qin Chuan to be interested in this: "Your old Taoist said that there are four great swordsmen in the world, this is a good point, although I haven't seen him yet, but he should also be a well-known figure in the martial arts rivers and lakes, otherwise it is impossible to raise you." This Li Canghai is a swordsman, practicing in the Northern Stygian Mountain, one person is a country. Previously, the army of Longguo was about to kill at the foot of Beiying, but Li Canghai went to the palace of Longguo alone that night, and early the next morning, the army of Longguo retreated to the state city, otherwise the territory of Longguo today would have to be more extensive. ”
Qin Chuan asked with some curiosity: "Before, it was not said that the capital was here, or no one dared to enter the capital, why did Li Canghai go straight to the palace, and no one stopped him along the way?"
He Shiwu replied very seriously: "The capital city is a watchman, sometimes not in the capital, at that time there were frequent wars on the frontier, and the capital city beat the people went to South Vietnam, and together with those soldiers, they fought several cities, so Li Canghai was empty." But later, after receiving the news, the capital watchman immediately came back and made three moves with Li Canghai in the capital. The watchman in the capital said that one move was called Wanghai Tide, which could see the ebb and flow of the tide; the other was called Yuepingchuan, which could see the vast and boundless grassland; and the other was called Watching the Sun and the Moon, which could see the sunrise and sunset; after these three moves, Li Canghai turned around and left, and the watchman in the capital did not chase him. This is not the moment when the two fight to the death, so it is just a simple battle, and there is no winner or loser. ”
Qin Chuan continued to ask: "So, the strength of the capital's watchmen is also extremely powerful in the martial arts rivers and lakes?"
He Wu seemed to recall that era of war and chaos, and his eyes were about to burst into a fine light: "The watchman in the capital cultivates the common people's way, and the sword is straight, and he will never beat around the bush, if you go to the capital, you will definitely be able to recognize him, always wearing white clothes, spotless." And the used tea set will never have any tea stains. He did not love women in his life, did not admire glory and wealth, and guarded a city by himself, so he protected the peace of the capital for decades. Such a figure can be described as a spiritual totem in the minds of the martial arts practitioners of the Long Kingdom, and he is also known as the guardian of the Long Kingdom, do you say he is powerful?"
Qin Chuan nodded, only then did he know that Li Canghai and the capital were very good at beating people, and he even wanted to go to the capital to find trouble with changing people, it seemed that he was also big-hearted, and he dared to say such a thing. After listening to the two swordsmen, Qin Chuan began to ask again: "Lao Dao said that there is a third person, the Tianzi killer in the dark city, who is he, and what is the place in the dark city?"
He asked, "Do you know about the ghost market?"
Qin Chuan snorted: "Lao Dao once took me to it once, and there are some rare treasures and elixirs in it, which are very rare in ordinary state cities." It's just that ordinary people don't know much, and they don't know the entrance to the ghost market. ”
He stuff filled himself with a glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he said: "This ghost market, in fact, everyone in the state hall knows it, but most of the people in the ghost market are people from the Mountain Sect, and it is understandable to go to the ghost market to change some things. Moreover, the ghost market is not in the capital, so naturally there is no need to abide by the agreement between the temple and the Shanmen sect, so the ghost market around the state hall is not willing to be taken care of. But among the countries, there is a mysterious organization called the Dark City, and the lord of the Dark City does not know where it is sacred, but only knows that it is called Qiaoye. Things that can be put on the bright side can be traded by merchants. In the dark city, it is all some shady deeds, as long as you open more and can attract those people to sell their lives, then they dare to go to the palace of Longguo. In the shadows, there was an Assassin who specialized in killing people, and he had no name or surname. I don't know where it came from, I have killed dozens of monarchs of small countries, so at that time, people were panicked, and every time a copper coin appeared in their own door, it always indicated that someone must die tonight. Some people say that he is one of the four great assassins in the world, because everyone who has seen him is dead, but they know that there is such a person in the dark city. However, some people were not convinced, saying that they had never fought each other and did not know what his true cultivation was. ”
When Qin Chuan heard this killer in the dark city, his heart couldn't help but flutter. Give money and kill people, this business is really done. Lao Dao had said that the fourth person with the sword had died, and Qin Chuan suddenly became interested at this time.
"He Ye, please continue to talk about the fourth person, I heard that he has been dead for a long time, I don't know if this is true?" Qin Chuan saw that he liked to eat peanuts, so he pushed the little peanuts left on that plate to what was there.
He Shi shook his head and said apologetically: "Speaking of this fourth swordsman, I don't know much about him. However, there is a saying in the martial arts rivers and lakes, which is called leaning on the sword and riding the green sheep, walking the world, killing one person in half a step, and killing a city in ten steps. Many people call him a Qingyang Taoist, because he has a green sheep on his body, he doesn't like to eat grass, but loves to eat grains. And some people say that he is free and free, and it is rare to see his trace. This fourth swordsman, I heard that he died in the end by feathering and ascending to the immortal, but some people say that he died in a conspiracy, and what happened is not something that people like me can know. ”
Listening to what he said, Qin Chuan also had a general idea of the four great swordsmen in the martial arts rivers and lakes in his mind, Qin Chuan suddenly asked with some curiosity: "There are four great swordsmen in this martial arts rivers and lakes, isn't there any four great swordsmen?" I have come into contact with a lot of martial arts rivers and lakes, and there are many people who use swords, and logically speaking, there should be a few swordsmen with outstanding martial arts. ”
He Shi nodded, but looking at Xiao Lou's silence, he sped up his speech and said: "There are two people in Longguo who are the leaders of the world's swordsmen, one is the great general Sui Changkong, and the other is the other person, let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future." According to your current martial arts cultivation, you may not have the opportunity to meet them in your life, so it is better to have this spare time to improve your martial arts cultivation, so that you will not have to turn around and run away when you meet them. ”
Qin Chuan sighed, it's not that he is unwilling to improve his martial arts cultivation, among other mountain sects and clans, there is a person who can take his juniors to practice something, but since the old way is gone, Qin Chuan no longer knows where to start practicing, every time he advances after the life and death crisis, but he can't escape death every time. Speaking of this, Qin Chuan also felt a little depressed, just caring about drinking alcohol.
Xiao Lou withdrew the cover that the heaven and earth aura had turned into at this time, and then ate the sauce beef, it seems that the chef of the Drunken Immortal Building still has an appetite for him. At this time, he took a sip of wine, a mouthful of meat, and his face was full of red light when he ate, and he didn't look like a martial arts cultivator in the Three Realms at all, Qin Chuan looked a little funny.
Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Xiao Lou asked slowly: "You have only only reached the Xuan Realm now, you are not even as good as the city guards in the capital, and you still have the face to smile at others?" If it weren't for Lao He next to you, you wouldn't know how many times you would have died." ”
Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lou, how can I see this little bit of cultivation for you? I am laughing at myself but in the Qixuan realm, but I want to go to the capital to fight the trouble, don't you say this is a fool's dream? I think it is better to start a family earlier, relying on the Qixuan realm to take care of people's homes and hospitals, although it will not become a wealthy family, but it will not starve to death." ”
Xiao Lou shook his head: "Chao Wendao, Xi can die." Some people have an epiphany under the Bodhi tree one day and directly enter the upper three realms, and some people spend their entire lives in the same place. But there are some things you don't try, you think you'll be like this for the rest of your life. ”
Qin Chuan has heard too many truths, but he still can't live this life well. I'm used to hearing strange things in the martial arts rivers and lakes, but I never believe it. The storyteller of the floating door was full of braggadocio as if he were there at the scene, but many of the things he said did not stand up to scrutiny. Hearing Xiao Lou say that he could reach the upper three realms with an epiphany in one day, Qin Chuan refused to believe it at all. It was not easy for him to condense the two places of Empty Mountain and Danhai, and now he has entered the realm of Qixuan, if he can enter the upper three realms so easily, then it is better to lie down and sleep, anyway, it is all dependent on life, why are you so tormented?
Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't believe it, Xiao Lou smiled, pointed to what was next to him and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Lao He if I went to the Upper Three Realms in one day." There are some things that you don't know enough to think are fake, but for us, these things are all too common. ”
He Shiwu nodded very seriously: "Xiaolou has indeed entered the upper three realms in one day. At that time, the early morning was the synaesthesia realm, and by sunset, it was already the upper three realms. How many people in the world can have this kind of cultivation?"
Hearing what something admitted, Qin Chuan was a little staggered about Xiaolou's cultivation speed, he thought about it, and suddenly asked something: "Master He, when did you enter the upper three realms?"
He Shi drank all the wine in the cup, then ate a peanut, and said indifferently: "One point faster than Xiaolou, I entered the upper three realms at noon." Reading and reading the book, I felt that something was going on, and I didn't notice it, but Xiaolou said that I had reached the upper three realms, and other than that, there was nothing unusual. ”
Qin Chuan instantly felt that he had no appetite for the food in front of him, it turned out that the two people in front of him were all wizards of the martial arts rivers and lakes, and he really didn't look at the old yellow calendar when he went out today, and even such characters could be seen, it was really a hell of a life in broad daylight. It seems that I have to go out for a walk more, maybe under which Bodhi tree to have an epiphany.
Lao Dao looked at Qin Chuan in front of him, and said with a bit of a taste of education: "You are already in the Qixuan realm at such an age, and it stands to reason that it is already extraordinary, but you must not be in a hurry, just wait for an opportunity, maybe you can also enter the upper three realms, as for when, you don't have to worry too much." There are too many things in this world that cannot be forced, and martial arts practice is one of them. ”
Qin Chuan poured the last wine, stood up, and toasted He Shi and Xiao Lou with a glass of wine.
