A few steps ahead, the neon-lit city that never sleeps, and less than ten steps behind, the dark and cramped sky and alleys, less than twenty meters away, are as clear as the wall of sighs that separates the Pure Land of Bliss and the underworld in Greek mythology. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After passing through the road sign in front of you, the terrain suddenly becomes steeper, and a few steps further on, there is a platform about ten meters high, but there are no stairs or other means of transportation.

Zhou Ning looked at Ye Man with a puzzled gaze.

"Jump up, and you'll see the gates ahead." Ye Man took a breath, his right foot was a little on the ground, his light body kung fu was very exquisite, like a vigorous spirit monkey, and he had jumped onto the platform in a few simple jumps. Zhou Ning is also a silent luck longevity trick, flying into the sky, suddenly turning over, miraculously slowing down, and then floating forward like a fallen leaf, stepping on the halfway of the high platform. Immediately afterwards, he took another breath of true qi, and his sharply falling body bounced up again with his strength, and landed lightly on the high platform.

Ye Man praised: "Brother Zhou is so light!" He pointed ahead, "Over there is the gate of the City of Heroes." ”

Zhou Ning nodded, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the gate of the Hero City, as far as the eye could see, the front seemed to be a real city, the shops on both sides were orderly, and the passers-by with various northern and southern accents were mixed, no one could have imagined that behind the city they were familiar with, there was such a majestic and magnificent city.

Walking through the city gate, the first thing Ye Man did was to raise his eyes and look at an electronic bulletin board hanging diagonally above, Zhou Ning was a little puzzled, and also looked over with him.

Today's rules: No killing, no robbery, no use of sticks, knives and hot weapons, no theft.

Ye Man breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, today's rules are not very strict, I think it should be the best tempered 'Runxia' among the five controllers in the city who is in control of the order, otherwise it is really a bit fatal." ”

Then he looked at Zhou Ning and said cautiously: "I told you before, there are five people who make rules in this city, and they rotate every month, depending on their mood, the rules may be different every day, if you come to the city next time, the first thing is to take a look at the rules here, and you must not take it lightly." ”

The one who makes the rules......

Zhou Ning nodded, kept it in mind, glanced up at the bulletin board above again, and followed Ye Man towards the city.

On both sides of the streets of the city, there are some shops, and Ye asked: "There are a few shops here that are particularly famous, such as the Golden Jade Pavilion in the Thirteenth Acropolis, where some elixirs and cheats are sold from time to time; There is a house in the Acropolis No. 5 called the Golden Pavilion, which sells some of the more precious cold weapons, which are extremely rare outside. However, I suggest you go to the Chua Li Fo Association in this city first, Cai Li Fo Boxing is a famous big boxing after all, Cai Li Fo three wins, Xiong Sheng, North Sheng, and your Hongsheng There are people living here, not so withered in my Wing Chun, ha. ”

Zhou Ning clearly knew that in later generations, before the great master of Wing Chun Ip Man revitalized Wing Chun, Wing Chun was indeed so withered, and when Ip Man had not yet developed, Cai Li Buddha Boxing was indeed much stronger than Wing Chun.

Shaking his head, he said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look around with you first." ”

Ye Man nodded noncommittally and walked along the long street with Zhou Ning.

It is no different from the big city outside, there are a lot of pedestrians on the long street, most of them are some people with martial arts, from time to time you can see someone performing light skills, flying by, surprisingly, there are even some vehicles passing by from time to time, honking their horns into the distance.

Zhou Ning and Ye Man chatted here and there, and after a while, Zhou Ning's eyes flickered, and when he noticed something, there was a commotion not far ahead.

It was a small queue in front of a shop, someone squeezed up, as if they wanted to cut in line, and made a small commotion, the person behind him said a few words with some resentment, the man raised his head, and the cold light of the dagger was already lit up in his hand, Zhou Ning noticed that in less than a second, a dazzling knife light had flashed over.

"Is that you?"

"It's me, I can't imagine it, you also have today!"

After the unclear conversation, blood sprayed out, the man took a dagger in his hand, and stabbed the person behind him, the person behind staggered back a few steps, turned around with great difficulty, and the knife wielder stabbed him in the back again, and then turned around and ran.

Zhou Ning glanced at Ip Man, who had already started and rushed over without thinking at this time, with almost no expression between his face and his gaze.

He rushed to the side of the wounded man, lowered his head and pressed his wound, the knife wound was deep, the blood was flowing incessantly, it was already a fatal wound, and after a moment, the man had hung his head, and there was no more sound.

"He's dead." Zhou Ning said lightly, glancing in the direction of the man running in the distance.

Ye Man stood up a little dejectedly, and said as if he was liberating himself: "The rivers and lakes are like this, the weak eat the strong, and people die like lights going out at every turn, and that person violates the rules and will die a miserable death." ”

Zhou Ning nodded, calmly faced, and stood up. He felt that his worldview was crumbling little by little.

Could it be that this is the so-called rivers and lakes?

After a while, three strong men in blue suits ran over from a distance and ran towards the end of the long street, according to Zhou Ning's spiritual sense, the martial arts of these people seemed to be ...... It's as if it's different from yourself.

Ye asked: "These people are one of the thirteen law enforcers in Hero City, and their strength is definitely not to be underestimated. ”

At this time, the night was sinking for a while, in this city where the sun and moon could not be seen, the neon lights flickered, Zhou listened quietly, his eyes did not change, and looked into the distance. More, more complicated, and more dangerous things may have been waiting in the night of the city ahead.

……

After a while, the two came to the side of an extremely majestic building, and Ye Man pointed to this building and said, "This is the core part of the Hero City, the Hero Nine Rings, which is directly controlled by the highest-ranking 'convergence' among the five controllers. ”

After a pause, Ye Man said again: "I forgot to mention it before, the code names of the five controllers of this city are Runxia (representing water), Yanshang (representing fire), Convergence (representing gold), Stretching (representing wood), and Zhonghe (representing earth), as the name suggests, there are a total of nine rings here. In this city, if you want to survive simply, you have to fight the first fight, the first fight is the lowest level, and most of the boxers who appear are small characters in the Dan Qi realm, fighting only for food and clothing, and the players get very little money. And from the fourth ring, it is a life and death fight regardless of life and death, starting from this ring, as long as someone is willing to fight, no matter whether they win or lose after taking the stage, there are 200,000 yuan to take. And in the seventh fight, the use of the blade can be allowed, and it is a completely bloody battle of life and death; Then there is the eighth ring, which is like an iron cage, and only the winner can get out of the cage...... It is said that 'Convergence' himself is sitting in the ninth ring, and as long as he can win him, he can take the position of 'Convergence'. But...... It's been a long time since he's had a chance to play. Because Xin Longzi, the champion of the seventh ring, has already made everyone in the city unable to deal with it. ”

"Xin Longzi...... I have heard this name, it seems to be a character in Liang Yusheng's novel "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", which makes it a sword, and it is ...... Also appeared in the City of Heroes? Zhou Ning frowned and pondered slightly.

"I also participated in the Hero Nine Rings, and I am currently stuck in the Fourth Ring." Ye Man looked at Zhou Ning and said with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Zhou is interested?" Just hone your skills. ”

"Let's go over and have a look." Zhou Ning shook his head, he was no longer interested in participating in the so-called ring today.
