In the early morning, in the vast morning light, the rooster's cries echoed each other, the air was mixed with cold, and a breeze blew, making people shiver without shivering.

Chen Zimo lay on the bed and looked at the six flags in his hand carefully, this was the umpteenth time he had looked at it, I don't know what dark blue flagpole made of jade, the tentacles were warm, and the black flag made of similar silk was written on it, and there were dense red words written on it, and there didn't seem to be anything else strange.

After studying for a while, he still didn't see anything like the previous times, so he had no choice but to lie down on the bed, who expected to fall asleep unconsciously, and woke up in the afternoon. Annoyed, he decided to go out for a walk, thought about it, and decided to go to Yu Bing's place to have a look, and there happened to be something to ask him.

Yu Bing's place of residence was in a relatively remote corner of the Governor's Mansion, and Chen Zimo went around for a long time before finding it.

Entering the courtyard, the first sight is to see the plum blossoms all over the yard, only to see that the flower is white and red, the petals are smooth and transparent, like amber carving, quite cold and jade elegant. Some are as bright as the morning glow, some are as white as snow, and the faint fragrance makes his already troubled heart seem to calm down a lot.

"You're here!"

Chen Zimo retracted his mind at this time, and saw a figure in elegant and neat plain clothes walking out of the plum bush, still holding a wine jug in his hand, and taking a few sips from time to time.

"Brother Yu came to visit me last time, so naturally I will come to visit too!" said Chen Zimo, who stepped forward.

"I heard about you yesterday, and today I see that you are still vain, it seems that your injuries are not healed, you can take this medicine and take it! After speaking, Yu Bing took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Chen Zimo at random.

Chen Zimo took the bottle and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Yu for your concern, I am not good at learning, so Brother Yu smiled!"

Yu Bing didn't say anything, and entered the house with his hands behind his back, and Chen Zimo naturally followed.

His room was very clean and tidy, with a simple bed in the corner, a checkerboard screen at one end, and a white wall at the other, and mud bricks on the floor, which were spotless.

And on the west table, there is a broken sword.

"Brother Yu, the furnishings of your room are plain!, but what is the significance of the broken sword placed under the west wall?" Chen Zimo said, looking into Yu Bing's eyes.

Yu Bing didn't answer immediately, took a big sip of wine, and his eyes were like torches. "It was my cherished saber back then, cut off by an old friend!"

Chen Zimo naturally knew who he was talking about, but he still asked, "Old friend, what kind of old friend is capable of cutting off Brother Yu's sword?"

"An old friend that I can't get out of reach, an old friend that I can only look forward to. Yu Bing's face became more and more solemn, as if he was calm in the painful past, his tone became cold, and a faint killing intent emanated in the room. "Although your ascending dragon sword technique is perfect, but your own strength is still insufficient, and your comprehension of sword intent is also far behind, this is my self-created Flowing Shadow Sword Technique, which is not superior, but with diligent practice, it can be regarded as helpful to you!"

After Yu Bing finished speaking, he took out a book from his arms and put it next to Chen Zimo, and then drank again.

After drinking, Yu Bing turned his head and asked, "Why do you want to get involved in this river and lake?"

Chen Zimo gently put down the wine glass. "Jianghu, I don't know what rivers and lakes?"

"Becoming a king or defeating a king, this is the rivers and lakes, every step is bloody and bloody, murderous opportunities are everywhere, this is the rivers and lakes, I am cheating, the word 'force' is the first, this is the rivers and lakes, you are not suitable for this rivers and lakes, you are more suitable for being an ordinary person. Then he took another sip of wine. "You know, I don't like you, and there's a good chance I'm going to kill you. ”

From his eyes, Chen Zimo saw a little cold light, Chen Zimo was very skeptical about whether the guess that Uncle Wang said was true, and just when he was about to say something, Jiang Linliang walked in.

"You've never stepped into my humble house for half a step, why did you come to me today?" Yu Bing didn't even raise his eyes.

"Haha, Brother Yu loves purity, so he chose to live in this remote place, how dare I disturb Brother Yu's purity without anything! ”

Chen Zimo was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed his hand to Yu Bing and said, "Brother Yu, I will leave first, and I will bother you later!" and then walked with Jiang Linliang towards the outside of the small courtyard.

"Lin Liang, what are you looking for me?"

"Oh, it was Lord Overseer who asked me to come to you and let you come over. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

Just as Chen Zimo turned around and was about to leave, Jiang Linliang patted him on the shoulder. "We were in a hurry last time, and I think I should leave this thing to you. As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized notebook and a brocade bag.

Chen Zimo took it. "What is this?"

"This small book was handed over to me by the master back then, and it contains some records about the drawing of talismans, and in this bag are some talismans made by myself, and I think you can use it. ”

Chen Zimo was happy in his heart, it just so happened that the formation could not be used for the time being, and there was a lack of magic weapons at hand. "Thank you so much, I need this. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you go quickly, Lord Inspector has been waiting for a long time, and, because of the relationship between you and me, in a word, I want to say to you, truth and falsehood are not so simple to see, some people spend their whole lives looking for the real thing. ”

Chen Zimo walked into the main hall with a face full of questions, and saw Sun Dushou burying his head in some documents, and when he saw Chen Zimo walking in, he put down the documents and beckoned him to sit down quickly.

"How's the injury?"

Chen Zimo hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your care, it's already good." ”

Sun Dushou hurriedly waved his hand. "I said, it's good if you call me Uncle Sun in the future, your father and I are friends in life and death, you don't have to be so outside. He motioned for him to sit down again.

Chen Zimo also sat back on the chair. "Yes, Uncle Sun!"

"That's right!" he laughed. "I have already asked Ling Feng to reprimand that kid well, and he didn't know the difference between the top and bottom, and he was punished for three months. ”

"This~" Chen Zimo was a little embarrassed when he heard it, after all, he later heard that the person was much more seriously injured than him, and he still hasn't been able to get out of bed and walk around.

Sun Dushou saw what he was thinking. "You don't have to think about it, this is the punishment for him. I called you here today to let you do something, the military quartermaster purchased three major herbs, a large part of the paper to make talismans, a total of twenty carriages, and it will stop at the south gate in a while, this is the purchase order, you go to check, if there is no problem, half of it will be escorted to the city defense army, and half will be sent to the mansion. ”

"Okay, I'll do it!" Just as Chen Zimo was about to get up, the old housekeeper in the house hurriedly ran in and said something in Sun Dushou's ear, only to see his face change after hearing this, and then motioned to the housekeeper to go down.

Turned his head and said to Chen Zimo: "This girl, she didn't look at it for a while and went out to make trouble for me, she encountered some trouble at the entrance of the alley in the south of the city, you just happened to stop by to take a look, train that hairy girl well, and then bring her back." ”

"Yes!" As soon as Chen Zimo heard that Sun Yun was in trouble, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Uncle Sun, then I'll go first." ”

Chen Zimo hurriedly walked out of the mansion gate and walked briskly towards Nancheng, he was very worried about Xiao Yun's situation.

At this time, Sun Yun was holding a long whip, and the long street was full of onlookers. Opposite Sun Yun stood two people, a young man, dressed in a gorgeous brocade costume, dressed as a rich man, and in front of him stood a tall and thin middle-aged man with a goatee.

"Little girl, you dare to grab what my son likes. The boy had an arrogant expression and squinted at Sun Yun.

Sun Yun's face was also full of anger, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the tall and thin man. "I'm the one who likes it first, do you know if you come first and come first!"

Judging from the traces on the street, there was already a conflict, and Sun Yun seemed to have the upper hand.

Hehe, Young Master Ben never knew what it meant to come first and come first, so go and teach her a good lesson to me. ”

The tall and thin man standing in front of the man sneered, and two yellow paper talismans floated in front of him, and in an instant, two tongues of fire erupted from the talismans, and the surrounding onlookers were shocked, and they dispersed in an instant.

Sun Yun didn't dare to be careless at all, and also waved the long whip in his hand, the whip and the two tongues of fire made a snapping sound, and the whip body continued to rotate, turning into a shield. She clinged to it with her breath, struggling to resist.

And the boy brother quietly took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms, and used his qi to enter it, and the talisman turned into a thin golden light, heading straight towards the loophole in Sun Yun's defense, and at this time he was ready to look at Sun Yun's embarrassed result with a wicked smile on his face.

Sun Yun also saw the golden light, but he couldn't make a move, just when he was at a loss, and when sweat oozed from his forehead, a black shadow burst out of the crowd, and at the same time, the sword light flashed, and the golden light was easily dispersed.

The person who came was Chen Zimo, as soon as he stabilized his figure, he saw his left foot on the ground, shouted lightly, and stabbed out with his sword, only to see the sword shadow turn into black light and approach the face of the thin and tall man.

That person couldn't dodge at all at this time, and once he dodged the boy behind him, he would definitely be injured, and he could only withdraw the talisman. The used talisman just turned into ashes, and at the same time, his left hand instantly pulled out a yellow talisman and turned into a golden shield in front of him, Chen Zimo's sword hit the golden shield, the golden shield dissipated instantly, and he was also shocked to retreat.

Seeing that the blow missed, he retreated to Sun Yun's side to protect her.

And the man was also surprised, although he only used a little skill, but he was able to break his shield with one blow, I am afraid that he is not an ordinary swordsman, and when he saw that the person who came was holding an inconspicuous black sword in his hand, he was even more puzzled.

Just as the tall and thin man was thinking of countermeasures, the boy took the lead. "Where are you from the little white face, nosy, get out of here!"

"Chief of the guard of the Governor's Mansion, Chen Zimo. Then he ignored the two of them and turned his head to look at Xiao Yun behind him. "You're not hurt, are you?"

"Brother Zimo, I'm fine!" Sun Yun looked at Chen Zimo with a happy face.

The tall, thin man coughed softly. "This little brother, it was just a little misunderstanding just now, since the Governor's Mansion has come forward, we apologize for this matter, forget it, we will compensate for the broken things, what do you think?"

The boy was about to have a seizure, but when he glanced at the person standing in front of him, he didn't speak.

Chen Zimo held the sword in his hand and stared at the man. "That's fine, but I don't want that to happen again. ”

"That's, that's, farewell!" After saying that, he left a bag of money, and pulled the boy to turn his head and retreat into the crowd.

Chen Zimo put away his sword and distributed the money to the merchants who suffered losses.

"Brother Zimo, why did you let them go?" Xiao Yun asked unhappily.

Chen Zimo turned around and said, "That person is not simple!"

"Who?"

"That goatee, I feel like he's trying to hide his strength. As he spoke, he stared intently in the direction in which the men had departed.

"Indeed, that man is so powerful, he catches the whip with one hand. Sun Yun also nodded with palpitations at this time.

Chen Zimo smiled and said after hearing it: "You, be careful when you go out in the future, I will accompany you next time." ”

"Brother Zimo, this is what you said, I'll look for you next time I go shopping!" Xiao Yun changed her expression just now and laughed, like a beautiful flower.

At this time, a team of people rushed over, and Lu Lingfeng was in front.

"Brother Ling Feng. Sun Yun hurriedly greeted.

Ling Feng also jumped off his horse, and the dark red guard robe on his body also agitated. "I heard that there was a fight here just now, and I heard that you were here, so I hurried over. ”

At this time, the people around them all stepped back and said, "My lord." ”

Lu Lingfeng's fame is unknown to everyone in the city, but he is a young man named after a genius, and he is respected by everyone.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Chen Zimo. "Zimo, what about those people just now?"

Chen Zimo shook his head gently. "Those who are afraid that they are not ordinary cultivators, they deliberately hide their true identities, and I just let them go so as not to make a big fuss. ”

Lu Lingfeng nodded with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. His task is mainly to patrol the city and maintain law and order, and if things are big, he can't get out of it.

"Where are you going?" Ling Feng asked.

"The overseer sent me to the South City Gate, and it just so happened that you came, so please send Xiao Yun back to the mansion!"

"Okay!" After speaking, he turned around and jumped on the horse, pulled Sun Yun up, and sat behind him. "Then I'll go back first!"

"Hmm!" Looking at their departing backs, a trace of envy rose in Chen Zimo's heart, and then he shook his head slightly, turned around and continued to walk towards the south gate.

Yu Bing sat in the lower garden under the sunset, holding the short sword in his hand, caressing it carefully.

More than ten years ago, a young swordsman in Tsing Yi appeared on the rivers and lakes, no one knew where he came from, only that his set of self-realized swordsmanship was superb, and his swordsmanship cultivation at a young age was unfathomable. As soon as the young swordsman entered the rivers and lakes, he continued to challenge the famous swordsmanship masters on the rivers and lakes, and one after another opponents fell under his sword, maybe he was like a lot of people who had just entered the rivers and lakes in urgent need of fame, with the self-realized swordsmanship he was invincible, did not taste defeat, no one could pass twenty-two moves under him, so the rivers and lakes called him "twenty-two shadows".

Until one day, he accidentally heard that there was a master of swordsmanship in the Governor's Mansion of Heluo City, so he rushed here non-stop.

That was the first time he saw Chen Ang, an elegant but dignified middle-aged man, kind and charitable, with an indescribable aura on his body. On that day, he will never forget, there was a misty drizzle in the sky, and at the corner of the street, the two looked at each other, and the light rain swept across his face and ran down his cheeks, with a hint of coldness.

"I heard that you are a master of swordsmanship, I, Yu Bing, have come to challenge you. He was the first to say, young and frivolous.

Chen Ang's voice was low, elegant and slow. "You are the young swordsman who has been rumored on the rivers and lakes recently! I heard that your swordsmanship is excellent, but why are you so persistent in challenging others? Why don't you use your martial arts to do something meaningful!"

"No, I like it!" Yu Bing's tone was full of pride and pride.

Chen Ang smiled and shook his head. "Then please make a move!"

At the beginning of this contest, you came and went, the rain was stirred by the sword qi of the two of them flying in the air, each of Yu Bing's swords seemed to pierce the raindrops, like a ghost full of murderous aura, the tricks were tricky and difficult to parry, under Yu Bing's full attack, after twenty-two moves, he still didn't touch that person, and he couldn't help but be cautious.

But as soon as he reached the thirty moves, the cautious Yu Bing was defeated, and his sword was also provoked to fly. Yu Bing, who was full of shock, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, this person who was not good-looking, but he didn't expect that there were only thirty moves.

"The Flowing Shadow Sword Technique, as expected, is worthy of its reputation, no wonder the rivers and lakes call you 'Twenty-two Shadows'. ”

Yu Bing, who sat on the ground, scolded Chen Ang angrily. "You're laughing at me?"

"Hahaha, it's not ridicule, it's admiration, there is such a cultivation at a young age, it seems that there are talents in the rivers and lakes!"

"You're not going to kill me?"

Chen Ang put away the sword in his hand. "Why did you want to kill you?

"If you don't kill me, I'll keep competing with you until I can defeat you. ”

"You only comprehend the sword intent but don't understand what a sword is, so you will never be able to defeat me! ”

Yu Bing got up, picked up the sword that fell into the muddy water in embarrassment, then glanced at Chen Ang coldly, and staggered away with his chest clutched.

Since then, he has been like a madman, and Chen Ang's words have been ringing in his ears: You will never defeat me!
