Chapter 8 Self-inflicted iniquity, do not live

The more treacherous the road ahead, the more Dianyin wanted to blow away the fog and see the sun as soon as possible, and finally after two more days, he could faintly see the golden light reflected by the sun, and after a few more hillsides, he could see the brown and gray city walls of the sesame dot earth. When Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info was young, Dianyin came to the chivalrous city with his father once, and this time he took the road that his father walked. At that time, Dian Yin was still young, and he was not impressed by the Xia Cheng, and he still remembered the general outline of the Xia Yin, but he never remembered that there was that golden light, and the Xia Yin City of the year was not as conspicuous and prosperous as it looks from a distance now.

The city is located in a small basin, the terrain is flat, the river is longitudinal, and it is surrounded by mountains, and the lush woods at the foot of the mountains extend to the corner of the city. Originally uninhabited here, it was a gathering place for bandits from all over the southwest, a few decades ago, the heroes of the 36th Road gathered here, quelled the bandits, and then built the city. Because the terrain of the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the knights have suffered heavy losses, and there are only ten roads left after the chaos, and these ten road heroes are the first generation of city lords, and now, the city is getting stronger and stronger, and there is only one city lord left in the ten roads, which is the four brothers of the Yin family today.

The four brothers of the Yin family are all thunderous and famous heroes in Youzhou, the eldest Yin Nuojie, known as the "Iron Tower of the Exhaust Wind", because of his deep internal strength, the sturdy lower plate, and a pair of Exhaust Palms are famous all over the world; the second Yin Hujie, nicknamed "Silver Fox", so the name is homophonic with the name, but also because he is resourceful and thoughtful; the third Yin Xiongjie is nicknamed "Judge Xingmu", and is good at using an outline knife, and his martial arts are only under the fourth brother among the four brothers, but he has moved out of the city for many years; the fourth Yin Langjie, in his early years, followed the hermit to practice in Youxi, and learned the famous fist "Mo Jianwei" , a punch into the flesh can cause bruises and blackening, because of the nickname "humanoid beast". The big city lord is broad-minded, the second city lord is resourceful, the third city lord is upright, and the fourth city lord is martial arts. In recent years, there have been many heroes from all walks of life who have come to seek refuge in Xia City because of their admiration for the four city lords. Therefore, the city lord's mansion is full of heroes from all walks of life. Due to the increasing number of residents in the city, these heroes happened to be the helpers of the city lords, and in order to facilitate management, the city lords awarded the top eight of them as the champions of the eight elements, and their status was only below the city lords.

Dian Yin thought that he would soon be able to meet these heroes that he had been confident about, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

About the inside and outside of the city, Dian Yin remembers that the city has four city walls, four gates in the east, west, north and south, the streets in the city are prosperous, the traffic is busy, and most of the people who live in the city are chivalrous people who have committed crimes in various places, or are tired of the outside life and hide here, so although the folk customs of the city are fierce, they are quite harmonious on the whole.

Further on, down the last hillside, Dianyin was disappointed: the once lush woods had turned into villages and fields, the chirping of birds in the woods had become the chirping of chickens and dogs in the alleys, the streams and rivers had disappeared, and the remaining channels had narrowed and dirty. He saw a gazebo, dilapidated and decaying, with no tiles on the roof, and it had been walked down the road. No, it was supposed to be a small bridge, but because the river under the bridge dried up, the river beach became a gravel road, the bridge was overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and the bridge was covered with various vines, and the crow fruit the size of a small gourd fell straight down or hid among the leaves.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in his eyes, and Dian Yin instinctively followed the light, but there was a knife hidden on the slope behind the stone bridge, and he saw that there were small mud blocks rolling down the gentle slopes on both sides of the road, Dian Yin suddenly raised his vigilance, and he suddenly grabbed Tong Xi's hand and ran back. Sure enough, as soon as Dianyin retreated, a group of people with swords ran down the gentle slopes on both sides, shouting for Dianyin to put down the Tong Rhino. Dian Yin didn't expect that there would be thieves at the gate of Xia Cheng, so he was furious, saw a steep slope that was not easy to climb, jumped with Tong Xi in his arms, put her on first, and then jumped on the road, pulled out his double knives, and slashed at the gang of thieves.

He slashed down six or seven minions head-on, and suddenly a silver spear pierced the door, and he tilted his head and flashed. Dian Yin smiled in his heart, hurriedly approached him, and the double knives chopped towards the man like a whirlwind, no less than three or four together, the man couldn't resist, the silver spear was blocked horizontally, and he wanted to jump out of the circle, but Dian Yin didn't let him go, a knife blocked his spear head, and the other knife attacked him sharply, the man straightened the spear head down and then blocked, but the knife on the top of the pawn stabbed him in the face, and the man hurriedly retreated. How do you know that the pace of Dianyin is fast, as soon as the man's front foot retreats, he will follow with his back foot, not leaving the person's body, and a knife will pounce like a wolf, and the side will see that the person is at a loss, and he will hurriedly bring up his weapon to help, but it is just some more mediocre minions in martial arts, and they will fall to the ground after a few times.

The one who made the silver spear suddenly shouted and stopped. Dianyin withdrew from the fighting circle, and the minions retreated one after another.

Dian Yin put away the knife and looked at the silver-armed man in front of him, who looked to be more than fifty years old, with triangular eyes, hooked nose, black and white hair, thin body, and a slender and hanging mustache.

The old man with the silver spear said: "The young man is a good sword, but not the 'flowing clouds' swordsmanship." ”

Dian Yin said angrily: "I'm not the sword demon Liao Tingyun, how can I 'walk in the clouds'?"

"Since it has nothing to do with the sword demon, why did the young man kidnap a woman, and why did he run away when he saw us?"

He thought that these people might not be bandits, so he stated his original discovery and the suspicion that he was afraid that they were bandits, and those people carried Tong Xi down the steep slope, and they asked Tong Xi, and when they saw that she spoke clearly and methodically, they did not suspect it.

The old man with the silver gun hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, in recent days, the sword demon has committed several murders near Xia Cheng. Therefore, we are waiting for the ambush here, and we see you holding a woman looking around, walking over and retreating, so we mistakenly think it is the person of the sword demon Liao Tingyun, I am really sorry. ”

Dian Yin saw that it was a misunderstanding, and did not delve into it, so he talked with the old man, and when he asked, he learned that this old man was the same "big butler" as the four city lords of Xia Cheng - Zhu Hue, it is rumored that Zhu Hue is the champion of the abacus, and his martial arts are mediocre in the eight elements, but he is good at calculation.

There seemed to be a faint commotion in the distance behind him, and a strange black smoke rose from the direction of Xia Cheng. A disciple of the Yin family riding a horse came from far and near, fell in front of Zhu Huhua and said: "My lord, it's a big deal, the sword demon has rushed into the city with four helpers, and now he is going straight to the city lord's mansion!"

Zhu Hue yelled badly, that is, he led people back to the city to rescue, just turned around and paused for a while, then turned his head and said to Dian Yin: "Young man, it is our duty to punish the evil and eliminate evil, are you willing to go with me?"

In fact, these words were in Dian Yin's mind, but considering the Tong Xi beside him, Dian Yin suddenly hesitated.

Zhu Hue said: "After the deed is completed, there will be a lot of gold and silver treasures. ”

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Dian Yin hurriedly said: "It's not this, I'm just afraid that my little sister ......"

Zhu Hue instantly understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young man, I will call someone to protect me." After speaking, he ordered a confidant. Dian Yin was overjoyed, but saw that Tong Xi was worried, and his eyebrows were locked.

It turned out that she was unfamiliar with her life and was unwilling to leave Dianyin, and she wished Hue a good life to comfort her and kept silent, which was very different from her usual lively and playful appearance. Dian Yin felt a little guilty in her heart, and wanted to come forward to comfort her. But as soon as he approached, she suddenly turned around and strode away as fast as she could, leaving only the henchman behind her.

After seeing Tong Rhino leave, Dian Yin followed Zhu Hue all the way into the city. Such an opportunity is very rare, and Dianyin does not want to miss it.

The streets and alleys of Xia Cheng were full of rumors that the sword demon was coming again, and many people were indignant, they picked up spears and short sticks, and went everywhere to find Liao Tingyun's traces. Seeing this situation, Dian Yin couldn't help but sigh that the people of Xia Cheng were fierce, if it was an ordinary place, it would be too late for the ordinary people to hide when they encountered this kind of thing.

Rushed to the front of the Xiacheng Mansion, Dian Yin, Zhu Huhwa and the others were stunned, there were several corpses lying at the door of the mansion, and the crimson blood was everywhere. Everyone ran into the house tremblingly, and the sound of fighting could be heard. Dianyin is fast, and he has been running ahead. Zhu Hue was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he shouted in the back, "Go north to the public courtyard and go to the public courtyard." Dianyin understood and walked first. Everyone followed the sound in the rockery corridor, and when they arrived, the second Yin Hujie had just fallen, and the two sword demons dressed exactly the same left in the blink of an eye. Norakure knew that these people were unfathomable, and it would not be difficult to kill him, but the two of them seemed to have no intention of hurting him, but strangely, most of the other people who stood in their way became the ghosts of their swords.

He wondered how there could be two sword demons?

Dian Yin stood on the highest roof in the Xia City, watching the sword demons in the Xia City like a gust of wind, and disappeared after a while.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he was standing on a golden pagoda. The pagoda has seven floors, the base and the first and second floors are hard marble, and the third floor is wrapped in gold, shining in the setting sun. Looking inside from the tower cave, there are stairs and tea houses in the tower! Dianyin sighed and looked into the distance, looking for the direction he came, and finally knew what he saw the golden light of Xia Cheng at that time.

Looking down at the City Lord's Mansion, he was also shocked by the luxury of the City Lord's Mansion. The city lord's mansion sits in the south and faces north, there is a gate in the north and south, it is said that it is divided into two large courtyards of public and private, with a score of four or six, the northwest and north sides look solemn and atmospheric, and should be an office space, and the rest of the faces are not only atmospheric, but also luxurious, should be a private courtyard. In addition to the large wings on the south side, the most striking thing is a pond in the center, which is the one that Dianyin has just run from the cloister and rockery to the courtyard. The pond dug a small river from the upper reaches of the river in the city to fill it with water, and opened an opening in the lower reaches of the river to drain the water. The pond is very large, the corridor that Dianyin runs through divides the pond into two, the west side of the corridor is a towering rockery and all kinds of water flowers such as lotus, compared with the west bank, the east bank seems to be a little empty, only a few water lilies in the middle, but there are a few small boats parked on the shore, and the path is full of all kinds of famous trees......

Dianyin didn't have time to take a closer look, but he was coaxed and shouted to capture him by a few people who had just entered the mansion in the distance, and he had to come down. Seeing Zhu Hue and the people who came with him crying and looking at the corpses, Dian Yin was also sad, and his heart was also sad. After a while, those people outside came in and wanted to arrest Dianyin, but they were blocked by Zhu Hue and told the ins and outs. The crowd stopped. It turned out that these leaders were all champions of various lines who were divided by the city lords, and one of the champions said: "Are the city lords still there?"

Zhu Hue wiped his tears and said sadly: "The three city lords are all gone, and there are two brothers inside and outside who were martyred together. The two inner and outer brothers he said were the highest martial arts among the eight champions, and they usually served as the inner and outer champions of the city lord's guard.

Everyone cried again when they heard this, and after crying for a while, someone suddenly asked: "We have all checked all the levels, how did this sword demon get in?

Everyone responded that the whole city was closed, and no one passed under their rule. At this time, Dian Yin suddenly remembered the sword madness in the broken temple, and was about to speak, but Zhu Huhua pointed at Dian Yin and preemptively said:

"I don't have anyone on the road, it's just that this young man just took a woman to pass, and all the brothers said that no one passed under their noses, could it be that this person confused the public and let the sword demon come in when he was dealing with us?"

Dian Yin just wanted to appeal, but was tied up by the champions of all walks of life, although Dian Yin was a hero, but these people had already prepared, and he was close, Dian Yin couldn't show his sword technique, so he was caught.

Zhu Hue went around to the front and said viciously in front of the champions: "Your kid is really a favor and will take revenge, how can I catch you without this plan?"

Dian was surprised that the heroes of the dignified city turned the clouds and rain so much, saw the wind and steered the rudder, and he carried the black pot for him in a daze. Although he regretted it too late, he was just worried about the girl who had never seen the world and was in tears when she left.
