Chapter Seven: The Undercurrent of Bay City (Part II)
Jin Sha threw the sword in his hand at the young man in Tsing Yi, and the young man in Tsing Yi caught it casually, looked over suspiciously, but saw Jin Sha jump down from the second floor of the inn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My sword is already in your hand, don't worry about me taking action against you. "You don't want the one upstairs to be woken up by us, do you?"
"Well, let's talk in a different place. The young man in Tsing Yi said, handing the sword back to Jinsha. Jin Xu took it and didn't say anything, but both of them showed a hint of a smile.

Drunken Huang Building in the south of the city. The second room from left.
"The people of the Star Altar seem to be in trouble. A man whispered.
"There are still more than ten days before the banquet of the Demon Palace, and everyone from all walks of life must have arrived almost there. It's a pity that Fu Huan and Qi Rui came to this star altar, if only your third brother were you......" The other man said with some regret.
"yes, we haven't seen each other for two months. However, the sixth brother is rushing here with your people, and if nothing else, he will be there in three days. ”
"Hmm. The man nodded.
At this time, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the void came from above the eaves, and the man with a deep voice spoke:
"Okay, you all nominally belong to the same country of Yi, so just look on the sidelines?"
"I don't care about the Star Altar, I want to know who is coming. Brother Tang, how about having a fun time with me?"
That's exactly what I mean. ”
The two of them climbed out of the window, spun around in mid-air, and landed on the eaves almost simultaneously, standing opposite the young woman in the altar of stars. Fu Huan and the man in white did not stop their movements because of this, and dismantled three more moves in a moment.
"Brother Guan. The young woman's gaze fell on the man on her left and she let out a sweet cry.
"Miss Qirui, I didn't expect us to meet here, how are we late?" the man said with a gentle smile.
"I'm fine. Qi Rui ignored the sword moves of Fu Huan and the man in white in front of him, his eyes blinked, and then looked at the man on the right, "This is ......"
"In Xia Tang Yin, he is a friend of Guan Shu. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Tang. Qi Rui said with a smile, revealing two cute little dimples.
"It is said that the Lord of the Seven Gates has the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and it seems that today this is true. ”
"Huh. Qi Rui smiled brighter and brighter, she didn't like to be ignored, but she hated others for having evil thoughts about her. Seeing that Tang Yin's eyes were full of undisguised appreciation, and there was no greed, he suddenly felt good in his heart.
The man named Guan Shu was concentrating on Fu Huan and the man in white while Qi Rui and Tang Yin were talking. The two have been fighting for a while, but they are still indistinguishable. Needless to say, Fu Huan can be the master of the Doumen of the Star Altar, and his martial arts are naturally not inferior to Tang Yin's third brother. And the man in white, whether it is his body or swordsmanship, is unpredictable, and there is no law to speak of. Guan Shu couldn't guess the man's origin for a while.
Although the man in white didn't glance at the position where Guan Shu and Tang Yin were standing, he learned the identities of Guan Shu and Qi Rui during the conversation between several people, and knew that he couldn't bargain in front of the two masters of the Star Altar, plus the small pavilion master of the Moge who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend...... Suddenly retreated. Originally, his purpose today was only to explore the various forces gathered in Bei City, and it was good that the people of the Star Altar could solve it, but they were not in a hurry.
Fu Huan seemed to feel that the man in white was no longer in love with the war and wanted to get out, but he was unwilling to let him leave like this, so he took the sword that came with all his strength, fighting both defeats, and constantly shortening the distance between him and the man in white.
In order not to reveal his identity, the man in white had some scruples about making a move, and when he had no way to retreat, he took Fu Huan's palm, and at the same time stabbed him in the left shoulder, taking advantage of Fu Huan's stagnant body, he jumped down the street and soon disappeared.
"Second Brother Huan, I'll help you catch up with him. Qirui said.
"Forget it. Although you are good at light skills, you are not his opponent. ”
"Oh. Qi Rui knew that what he said was the truth, so he didn't say anything more, just looked at the direction where the man in white left, and there was a faint light in his eyes.
"Two, tonight's affairs are disturbed, he will see each other again in the future, Fu Mou invited the two of them to drink. Fu Huan said hello to Guan Shu and Tang Yin, then turned around and left, thinking that he was going back to bandage his wounds.
"Brother Guan, Brother Tang, farewell. Qi Rui finished with a faint smile and left.
"The third brother said that the relationship between Fu Huan and Qi Rui is not good......" Tang Yin muttered thoughtfully.
Fu Huan was injured, but she didn't care about it. Guan Shu nodded, lowered his voice and said to Tang Yin, "Let's join in the fun, and there are also people watching the excitement below." ”
"That one should be occupied...... The people of Juxu Village. Tang Yin said, as if he remembered something, and said, "I haven't been back to the lonely country for a long time...... She's thirteen years old, will she come here?"
"Hmm?" Guan Shu obviously didn't react to who Tang Yin was talking about.
"It's okay, I'll go back to sleep. ”

In the southwest of Bay City, there is a river that runs through the city, named Yudai River. There are many shops on both sides of the river, and there are small boats passing by on the river from time to time, especially at night, the lights and candles on the small boats flicker and dim, adding a poetic feeling to this shell city.
At this moment, Jin Sha and the young man in Tsing Yi are standing on the arched bridge connecting the two banks of the Yudai River, and the night by the water has a unique flavor. Taking a breath of moist and fresh air, the young man in Tsing Yi broke the silence and said:
"Why?"
"Why are you?" Jin Xu withdrew his gaze from the river, looked at the young man in Tsing Yi, and did not answer the question.
"From the moment you threw the sword to me, I realized that we were similar people. The young man in Tsing Yi said with a pun.
"Yes, if it were you, you would do the same. And we're all a little hostile to them, aren't we?"
"Maybe. The young man in Tsing Yi smiled noncommittally and leaned against the railing of the arched bridge.
"As for why you ask me...... I see that you have only taken one thing, and you are not a greedy person for money. Like a young man in Tsing Yi, he leaned back against the railing of the bridge and looked up at the night sky comfortably.
"It's not that it's not greedy, it's just disdainful. The young man in Tsing Yi smiled slyly, but said with a serious look.
"If it weren't for the fact that I was there, I would have had a drink with you for a day and a night. ”
"No, it will take three days and three nights!"
The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
"How did they mess with you?" asked the young man in Tsing Yi curiously.
"They didn't mess with me, it's my ......" Jinsha originally wanted to say "my son-in-law", but suddenly changed his words, "...... A friend of mine. A few days ago, I heard him mention that Chu Bai from Taiwumen went to the lonely country last year, made trouble in a restaurant, fought with him, and found someone to go back to seek revenge when he lost. His helper may also be known to you, Ni Shengxiu. ”
"Well, I heard that. ”
"So when I entered Bay City, I kept an eye on them. ”
"The one just now is the second Chu Bai. After all, this thing was only available to the three disciples of Ding Rate. The young man in Tsing Yi said and took out the token from his arms.
"Who else is addicted to wine? However, I hear their people talking about it during the day, and Ni Xuyao will also come in the next few days. Luckily, you didn't break into his house. ”
"Indeed, if it were him, not only would I not have been able to get anything, but I would not have been able to escape unscathed...... He once injured my fourth brother. The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head helplessly.
"We have a grudge against Taiwumen, and we are the same. ”
"I was born in October of Gengchen. The young man in Tsing Yi said suddenly.
“…… I'm the first month of the new year. When Jin Xu heard this abrupt sentence, he was stunned for a moment before he said.
"I'm three months older than you. If we don't dislike it, how about we become brothers?"
"You haven't asked me who I am?"
"When you make a pray, you will know it. ”
"Good!" nodded briskly.
"The sky is above, the jade belt river is the evidence, I even Shibuyada Chiri is willing to marry a brother with a different surname with the people around me, and from then on we will share blessings and misfortunes, if there is a betrayal of brotherhood, the sky will thunder. The young man in Tsing Yi knelt on the bridge and said loudly.
"The sky is above, the jade belt river is the proof, my Chihua weapons are willing to marry Tian Qianli as brothers with different surnames, and from then on share blessings and misfortunes, if there is a betrayal of brotherhood, five thunders will hit the top. Jin Sha also knelt down and said sincerely.
The two faced the sky and the earth, as well as the Yudai River, and knocked their heads three times before standing up.
"It turns out that my second brother is actually the young master of the Chihua Weapons Shop. ”
"Big brother surprised me, you are from that mysterious Shibuya. ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm in seventh place when I enter the valley. ”
"You sneaked into the King's Inn tonight to find out what was going on in Bay City?"
"Not bad. ”
"I'll send you a few messages. Jin smiled knowingly, except for the information that he had concealed from the little master of the Hidden Dust Xuan, the rest of them said knowingly, "The people of the Helian family of the Wei Kingdom, the Orange Flame Villa of the Yi Kingdom, and the Zhongli Yuan of the Dongshan Mountains of the Lonely Kingdom have already entered the Demon Palace. In addition to me and my four people, there are also five people in Chu Bai's party in the Junwang Inn. Ni Xuyao will bring someone to join him in a few days. ”
"I remembered. Brother doesn't have any gifts for you, so let's take this token of Taiwumen, and take it as a piece of my heart. ”
"Thank you, big brother. Jin Xu didn't refuse, and took it.
"It's almost time for me to go. Second brother, take care of yourself. ”
"Okay, I'm still waiting to drink with my eldest brother. ”
~~~
Tian Qianli said goodbye to Jinsha, and rushed directly to the drunken Huang Tower in the south of the city, and at this time, the man in white had already left, and Fu Huan, Qi Rui, Guan Shu and others had also rested, and there was silence all around.
Tian Qianli couldn't find the man in white, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. But after thinking about it, he delayed a lot of time, maybe the second brother went to the street where the two parted ways before, and maybe even went back to Fuyun Inn. With a fluke mentality, Tian Qianli immediately decided to take the street in the city and turn back to the east of the city.
And the man in white was really waiting in place, and when the two met, the night sky was faintly white.
"Second brother!" Tian Qianli was separated by a distance, and found that something was wrong with the man in white, so he quickly rushed to his side.
"You're back...... the man in white said in a slightly weak voice, and the sword in his hand was propped up on the wall for a moment before he straightened up and said, "Let's go back and talk." ”
"Good. Tian Qianli also knew that this was not the place to speak, so he lowered his voice and answered, and followed the man in white to the east.
The man in white had obviously done some pranayama, and he was able to support himself during the time of this cup of tea.
The two stopped downstairs at the Fuyun Inn. Tian Qianli took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the lid, and in the bottle was a translucent insect.
"They're in the room right above. Tian Qianli looked at the insect's movements and said to the man in white.
"Hmm. The man in white answered.
Tian Qianli immediately stepped forward to support the man in white, jumped up, and took advantage of the window lattice to flash into the room.
The woman in yellow and Yu'er Heyi were lying on the bed in the middle of the room, and they didn't know if they were asleep, but when they heard movement outside, they both opened their eyes and looked, but they saw Tian Qianli sitting at the wooden table with the man in white in his arms, and immediately glanced at each other, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" asked Xuan'er.
"Out of the way. The man in white squeezed out a smile at a few people, and then said to the woman in yellow, "Ning Yan, bring me the Snow Ning Pill." ”
Ning Yan, that is, the woman in yellow, took out a white jade bottle when the man in white spoke, poured out two pills in his hand, handed them to the man in white, and said:
"This will only heal your internal injuries, and it will take some time to fully recover. Who the hell did you meet?"
"I'm fighting with Fu Huan of the Star Altar. It seems that without all my strength, I have no chance of winning. The man in white took the water handed by Yu'er, took the pill and took it, and then said.
"In this way, the second brother just tested his kung fu, and he doesn't know our identity yet. Tian Qianli guessed.
"Not bad. He was accompanied by Qirui, the master of the Seven Sects, and eight of his subordinates. In addition, the two people from Moge and the six people from Juxu Village were also in the Drunken Phoenix Building. ”
"Guan Zhou and Che Wolf Wu are here in person?" Ning Yan asked.
"It's Guan Shu and Si Ze who came. I didn't see Si Ze, I only met Guan Shu and Qi Rui, although the two of them are young, they are by no means simple......"
"As for the west of the city, the young master of the Chihua Weapons Shop Jin Sha and Chu Bai of Taiwumen each brought four people to stay at the Junwang Inn, and Jin Sha said that Ni Xuyao was also coming. Tian Qianli paused for a moment, and then added, "I have become brothers with Jinsha. ”
"Hmm. The man in white nodded, looking at Ning Yan and Xuan'er, "What about here?"
"There are only three monks from Ci'an Temple. However, I don't know their legal names yet. Xian'er said and frowned, "But I think Master Abbot Yibei shouldn't be among them." It seems that the people who came to the Demon Palace to gather are just second-tier figures from all sides. ”
"That's a certainty, after all, no one wants to lose their identity in front of the juniors in the rivers and lakes, even if they have ambitions for the treasure map of Hidden Dust Xuan...... I had no choice but to stay out of the matter and watch this dispute. The smoke condensation said.
"It's just that we can't get the treasure map, as long as we turn this shell city upside down, and by the way, give the Star Altar some color, it can be regarded as completing the task assigned by the eldest brother. Second brother, it's almost dawn, you can lie down and rest for a while. Tian Qianli said.
"Hmm. ”
