Chapter 1: Firefly Blade

The sunset hides behind the mountain, and the bright moon is in the sky.

In the deep night, in the uninhabited wilderness, in an unknown mountain, there is a well-known pavilion - the building of hatred.

The cold wind blew into the dangerous building, and there was no light in the dark place, only the moonlight sprinkled in, illuminating the golden beast incense burner on the table, emitting a faint cold light.

In the darkness, a faint green smoke rose between the two.

One person was dressed in a black robe, black pants, black boots, and a plain white mask on his face, with no pattern on the mask.

This person is the owner of the "Hate Building" - Faceless, who specializes in cultivating killers in order to obtain a lot of money.

The other had his back to the moonlight, his face unobstructed, but unobstructed, but unintelligible. Judging from his posture and words, he suspected that he was an old man.

Faceless put his hand on the table and whispered, "Those who hate me all their lives can be sold when they see me." My lord, whose head are you here to take today?"

I only heard the sudden sound of slapping the table, and then an angry word came out of my mouth: "Gu Hai!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw this Nanmu table, and with a sad sound, it fell into a pile of wood and fell to the ground.

I don't know what Faceless's expression is at this time, he is embarrassed and says: "My lord, there are few people in this ancient sea who can defeat it now, ...... you ask for this."

The old man coughed a few times, and then said angrily: "If it is a person who is easy to kill, the old man has already done it himself, why do you need to come up to this building? That wild boy, just win me in the competition, and humiliate me in public! When did I suffer such resentment? Moreover, he is only cultivating like this now, and he is already so terrifying, I am afraid that in a few decades, his cultivation will be even more unmatched, and even the opponent will no longer exist at that time, and when the immortal gate is opened, everyone can only stop and watch." ”

Faceless listened and stood up. Behind his hands, he paced back and forth, constantly thinking.

If you take this job, you need to send a rat head with twelve faces to succeed.

Hating the building, only twelve killers were cultivated, and each of the twelve genera masks were put on. The strongest one wears a rat head mask, and the others are arranged in order.

Faceless paced into the moonlight, and with each step of the Black Boots, it became more difficult. After a little more time, he spoke: "Ten thousand taels of gold, one thousand immortal grass, fifty taels of silver, otherwise please go back." ”

When the old man heard this, he was silent at first, then clapped his hands and replied fiercely: "Okay!"

Immediately afterwards, he was a little puzzled, frowned and asked, "I asked for 10,000 taels of gold, why did I ask for the 50,000 taels of silver?"

Faceless turned his head to him and said, "That's the price you just paid for smashing the table." ”

"Hahaha! deal, deal!" the old man smiled, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to the faceless high-five.

As soon as his hand was within half a step of the faceless face, a silver light flashed in front of him, and a black shadow appeared.

The old man had experienced a hundred battles, but he was also frightened, and quickly took a few steps back.

He looked at it again, and a man in black wearing a tiger's head mask appeared in the green smoke, and the moonlight sprinkled on the tiger's face, deeply afraid of it.

The old man frowned, if he had just taken a step slower, he would have died here. And when he looked at the man with the head of the tiger, he was shocked to realize that several of his black wires had been cut off by the dagger in the man's hand. What's even more amazing is that Wusi is actually on the moonlit ground, and the word "death" is completed.

The old man's eyes were fierce, and the killing intent was surging in his heart, and he asked: "Faceless brother, what does this mean?"

Faceless waved his hand, let the tiger head retreat, and said slowly: "I hate Lou and make enemies everywhere." Therefore, in order to protect my life, I have set up a rule that whoever enters my half step will be killed. I apologize for forgetting to tell you about this just now, and I hope that you will not hold a grudge against me. ”

Faceless said, while holding his back to the moon, his figure was sad, and his voice was sad: "Since the rules have been established, I have also had a room with my wife again." ”

A cold wind swept through his robes, and a broken intestine man approached him.

When the old man heard this, the tide of killing intent subsided, and he couldn't help laughing in the cold high-rise building: "The hateful building really lives up to its name, and the old man really admires your forbearance skills." And there are few people in the world who can deal with the ability of the tiger head, so above him, isn't the rat head invincible in the world?"

Faceless said modestly: "Invincible dare not speak, but taking the life of that ancient sea should not be a problem." ”

When the old man heard this, if the tragic death of the ancient sea appeared in front of him, he would laugh more than once in this high-rise building of the stars.

The moonlight, as usual, hangs in the night, sprinkled on the world, but sometimes, silver like frost, and sometimes scarlet like blood.

After Gu Hai defeated the Four Wizards, in order to stand at the top of the Immortal Cultivator, he and Hua Ke walked from the red sun in the early morning to the red sun in the evening. The goshawk spread its wings and soared, as if following them, and flew to the "wooden city".

It is rumored that in the city of Mugeng, there is a hermit, named Wang Xuan, whose skills are strong, and he also obtained an artifact in the "fairy in the clouds", and then because of the pain of losing his son, in order to recuperate his heartache, he hid in the city of Mugeng.

Gu Hai and Hua Ke came here to find this person.

One is to learn from him and better understand how to use the artifact.

The second is the special supernatural power of the Fushen Stick, which needs to defeat the people with great supernatural powers among the immortal cultivators.

The two of them stopped riding a bull and looked up, outside the blue brick city tower, flags were ringing in columns.

Gu Hai and Hua Ke got off the cow, the crowd in front of them, if the river went west, some people carried firewood on their backs and laughed with people, some people proudly flew into the city with swords, and there were few people who went against the current, riding horses and hiding in the verdant places in the suburbs.

The two of them were about to move forward, when suddenly there was a mournful flute sound, which entered the ears, like invading the sorrowful intestines, and echoed gracefully in the chest. The sound of the flute continued, and a human voice came: "I have always heard of the name of the ancient sea, and now I am fortunate to see it, can I enjoy the face and have a discussion." ”

Gu Hai stood under the red glow, followed the sound to find the source, under the willow tree in the distance, leaning on a piper, in the rain willow silk, closed his eyes and leaned against the willow tree. The blue brocade robe on his body swayed together with the branches and leaves in the thick of willows and blue flowers.

The man put down the wooden flute, but the ecstasy song still kept coming.

He bowed his hand and said politely: "I am an immortal cultivator in Qinghai City-Yundi, I heard that the Lord of the Pavilion of the World is all right, Brother Gu will come here, I have come to wait, please Brother Gu complete!"

The Tianxia Pavilion is a place dedicated to collecting information on the cultivation of immortals in the world. The ears and eyes are all over the world, and they are all loyal, and they serve the world wholeheartedly.

Gu Hai saw that Yundi's face was full of sincerity, and his behavior was dignified and polite, and he felt that he was a decent gentleman, so he complied with his request.

They were afraid that they would injure the innocent by mistake, so they went to the far suburbs by the green hills.

Hua Ke sat on the green ox, she regretted giving the guqin, so she had to hold her face and watch carefully.

Competing is normal among immortal cultivators. Gu Hai and Hua Ke, in the past few years, the attackers of light and darkness have not known the number of times. Someone came to challenge, as usual as three meals a day.

The cloud flute stands in the sun, next to the grass. The red stone on the flute in his hand glows red.

Guhai stands in the shadow of the mountain, beside the hideous rocks. The stick was as straight as his body, standing still in the wind.

The cloud flute arched his hand again, and after politely signaling the start, he held the wooden flute in his hand, and if he held a sword, his figure was like the rhythm of the wind, difficult to see and erratic.

Before the surrounding grass could be shaken, the cloud flute had already waved the wooden flute in his hand three times towards the ancient sea.

Every time he has the power of splitting mountains and breaking stones, he is easily blocked halfway by the Fushen stick.

In the fluttering figure, Yun Di already understood that his skills were definitely not Gu Hai's opponents.

He followed the direction of the wind and stood on the top of the green mountain, with the sunset on his back, and the whole person was only a black shadow, which entered the eyes of others.

The cloud flute put the wooden flute to his mouth, and the sound of the flute suddenly rose, in this bleak scenery, it was still so broken, it was like green smoke winding in the red glow of the world, floating to the ancient sea ear.

Gu Hai held a stick, only feeling the miserable picture since childhood, if the afterimage appeared in front of him. His bowels are sorrowful, if they are cut off by the sound of the flute. Gradually, his negative mind, like a poisonous snake, opened his bloody mouth, danced and coiled his body, like a swimming dragon, devouring the fighting spirit in his body, and gradually disappeared.

This is the cloud flute stunt - the gut breaking song.

Seeing that it had been effective, the cloud flute played the wooden flute more excitedly.

The sound of the flute is like a rocky falling from the top of a mountain, and it is like a waterfall pouring down in the nine heavens.

The surrounding grass could not bear it, and in such a stirring sound, it was like being cut off by a sword, and it flew in the direction of the cloud flute and sideburns, fluttering on the side of the green mountains and setting sun.

On the green cow, Hua Ke, seeing this situation, his ruddy cheeks were full of worry.

Gu Hai had just lost his fighting spirit in the sound of the flute. Now there is a more vigorous flute sound, floating with it.

Is the man who defeated the four wizards in one move about to be defeated?

But just when Gu Hai seemed to be defeated, he unexpectedly swung up the magic stick and danced the mighty wind of mountains and seas.

Before his eyes could show surprise, he was swallowed up by the wind and fell to the dust.

The corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and he struggled to get up from the ground, puzzled: "Why, you just fell for my move?"

Gu Hai walked in the glow, stretched out his hand to help him up, and explained: "I won't go into details about the reason for this. But the greatest mystery is in my hand. ”

Yun Di heard this, and secretly thought in his heart, he had heard it a long time ago, and the artifact was mysterious, which ordinary people could not imagine. Today's fight is indeed worthy of its name. He no longer asked the real reason, and then politely said: "It's a loss!"

After saying that, he remembered something again, and said kindly: "Brother Gu, I learned from the Tianxia Pavilion that someone bought your life from the hate building, you have to be careful." ”

After hearing this, Gu Hai also knew in his heart what was wrong with hating Lou, and hurriedly thanked him: "Brother Xie Yun reminds." ”

The two spoke to each other for a while under the sunset over the green mountains, and then Yundi bid farewell to Guhai and returned to Qinghai City.

Hua Ke jumped over and said with a smile: "In this competition, you didn't make people angry, rare, rare." ”

Gu Hai only looked at the figure of Yun Di in the distance, and said under the sunset: "This Brother Yun Di, in fact, in the first move, he can kill the killer, but he didn't do it." A person as upright as him is now rare in the immortal cultivation world. ”

Then the two of them released the green cow to freedom, and took advantage of the sunset to completely hide in the green hills, and entered the city of Mugen.

The two of them had just stepped into Mugen City, imitating another world.

Although the scenery outside the city is beautiful, the inside of the city is even more beautiful.

Lively voices came to the face, and people who were busy with everything stood in the crowd.

Even though the sky has darkened, various stalls are still lined with stalls on both sides of the road.

Next to the trading stalls, there are blue bricks and red tiles, lanterns and red flags, and there are all kinds of wooden buildings.

Different wooden buildings are operating different businesses, from the windows of high-rise buildings, you can also see some windows, many generous children sit in it, hug the beautiful women into their arms, indulge in wine and sing in the sky.

On the side of the wooden building, next to the blue brick and white wall, there is an opera troupe singing opera on the stage. The sound of the erhu is poignant, the sheng flute is urging people to break their intestines, the pipa makes people teardrops fall, and the sad singing of the opera, many people stop to watch, here in the sad tune, there is a chic liveliness.

At the end of a noisy scene, a green lake, a white jade bridge, and a small boat, they quietly guard a piece of heaven and earth, and let the city of Mugen be noisy everywhere.

Such a scene can make Hua Ke no longer quiet. She immediately turned into a busy person, went to the jewelry stall to have a look, and then looked at the clothing store.

Gu Hai had no interest in these, and had to follow closely, and when she bought a hairpin to try on, she had to pretend to praise from time to time: "Good-looking, good-looking." ”

While hanging out with Hua Ke, he suddenly felt tired, even more tired than his usual cultivation.

Just as they were about to go to find a hotel to stay, the owner of the clothing store informed them that tomorrow was the day of the temple fair in Nogi Castle, which would be more lively.

After hearing this, Hua Ke was overjoyed, and after Gu Hai heard it, it was as if he had lost his soul, paid a silver tael, and went out listlessly.

Then the two of them came to the inn, and before they could enter, Hua Ke touched Gu Hai with his arm, with evil intentions on his face, and deliberately asked quietly, "Do we want one room or two rooms?"

As soon as Gu Hai heard this, at this night, his face had always been straight, but a red glow climbed on his face, and he stuttered: "When ...... Two rooms of course. ”

Hua Ke snorted, couldn't hold back any longer, laughed wildly, and laughed at Gu Hai's current appearance: "Hahaha, your face is red, big wood, I'm teasing you." ”

Gu Hai twisted his face to the other side and said recklessly: "My face is not red, it is the lights outside that reflect your eyes." ”

Hua Ke stopped laughing, looked at his shy appearance, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! The ancient hero is a wooden man, where can he blush?"

After a burst of words, they both cleaned up and quickly fell asleep.

The crescent moon was as usual, and the gentle silver light sprinkled on the wooden castle. But the same round of moons, in different places, has different atmospheres.

In Qinghai City, in a building, a fat-headed and big-eared man sat in a bright room, holding hot tea, but he couldn't help shaking. Suddenly, there was a bamboo shadow outside the window, dancing like a ghost's hand, coupled with the sound of a ghost crying wolf, which scared him to the core.

Outside the house, a group of iron-armored silver lights, I don't know that the owner of the house looks like a mouse. They just clinged to knives and guns, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounding this building.

It turned out that three days ago, the richest man in Qinghai City, An Wanqian, learned that someone was spending a lot of money on hating the building and taking his life.

Even if he offered all his net worth, everyone heard the rumors and hated Lou, and no immortal cultivator dared to protect An Wanqian.

In the absence of any way, he could only buy some iron-armored weapons, spend money to find some brave men who were not afraid of death, and kept guarding himself outside the house.

These brave men are also conscientious under heavy rewards. A flying insect has passed, and they have also poked it into a thousand holes.

In this way, no one should be able to enter the building, and no one should be able to save thousands of lives.

They don't care how many times they watch, just like that, staring, staring.

They only stared at the darkness outside, but they didn't notice that at some point, in the dim light, there was a pool of red blood sprinkled on the window door.

These silver-light iron armors were still vigilant ahead, staring, staring at the darkness around them.

Under the waning moon in the distance, a man with a rat head mask has carried thousands of heads, and in the sassy wind, he went to the hated building.

With his other hand, he took out a scroll and spread it on top of the flowers and plants in a quiet place. He dipped his fingers in two drops of blood, and drew a red line on An Wanqian's name.

I saw that on the rice paper, the word "ancient sea" danced elegantly in the ink was particularly clear in the faint cold light.

The night did not stay for a long time, and in the city of Mugen, the sound of roosters crowed in every household when it seemed to be bright and not bright.

Hua Ke excitedly knocked on the door of the ancient sea house, and a yellow warbler-like voice sounded high: "Xiaohai, Xiaohai, get up quickly, don't delay today's temple fair!"

Before the sound of the ancient sea could be heard, the surrounding rooms were full of complaints.

Gu Hai was afraid that Hua Ke would shout two more words, and the others would have to come out to find trouble.

He sighed and put on his clothes.

When the two of them left the hotel, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.

The sky above the wooden towers, where they are opposite, is connected by a white ribbon. A red lamp hangs like a ribbon of smoke.

Gu Hai and Hua Ke looked up, a row of lanterns, covering the blue sky and reflecting the sunlight.

The birds chirped for a long time, but they didn't know what it was, so they could only raise their heads and faint with a red light that covered the sky.

The two of them went on further, and the stalls were even more so today, which spread on both sides of the road like two long dragons to the white jade bridge.

The willows in the lake are no longer quiet, and they are also classified into a hustle and bustle.

At this time, it was only early in the morning, and there were more pedestrians on the road than yesterday. Everyone was smiling and busy buying all kinds of rare items.

Hua Ke was so happy with this lively scene, after clapping his hands, he ran around again, and even forgot about Gu Hai beside him.

Gu Hai is not as happy as her, yesterday Yundi reminded him to be careful of the people who hate Lou, he can always remember in his heart.

Nowadays, there are so many pedestrians, and it is really difficult for the enemy to set up an ambush and make a surprise move.

Gu Hai is not worried about himself at all, he has been a cheap life since he was a child, and he will go to hell.

But he was afraid that it would affect Hua Ke, if Hua Ke had three longs and two shorts, he would go down to the eighteenth floor of the underworld, and he would not be able to explain to the master and his wife.

Therefore, he is cautious step by step and vigilant everywhere.

In the lively market, the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky.

Suddenly, there were more than ten carriages, as steady as flowing water, and the groom drove slowly.

Gu Hai was alert and thought in his heart, "Could it be hidden in this car?"

He fixed his eyes on the sedan chair in the car, dressed as a red lotus. On top of this red lotus, there was a person standing on the roof of each car, and they were wearing fairy and fairy robes, making an elegant posture. Along with the carriage, the breeze blew the green silk and robes, and in the eyes of the people, they were like fairies in the clouds.

Hua Ke held a sugar gourd in one hand and a rattle in the other, and cheered: "Good!"

Gu Hai didn't have the heart to watch, he was careful every carriage that passed in front of him.

But all the more than ten carriages were over, and nothing happened.

Hua Ke pulled Gu Hai again and went to a stall selling fish and birds.

In the temple fair, there is a custom of releasing caught fish and birds.

Hua Ke bought himself a hundred spirit birds and a crow for Gu Hai.

She found the clear water and green willows, and said with a wicked smile: "This lark is like me, and this crow is like you." ”

After saying that, Hua Ke's little hand threw the lark into the sky and watched it return to freedom.

Gu Hai casually threw the crow, and the crow crowed and soared freely to the sky.

Even at this moment of release, he didn't let go of his heart.

But there are many lively places around them, how can they all be on guard.

But not far from the release of the two of them, there was a long queue, and the head of the opposite party was a scholar-like person, selling zodiac masks.

This stall is not doing business, but giving away masks for free.

Everyone couldn't wait to take the masks, and their faces were even more smiling.

Gu Hai was so vigilant for a day, but he didn't see anyone sneak attack, he thought to himself: "When it's dangerous, it's even more at night. ”

Hua Ke seems to have endless energy, when she was fishing for goldfish, an old man told her that there is a lantern festival at night, which is more beautiful and prosperous.

She was even happier.

When Gu Hai heard that it was night, he wanted to tell the matter of hating the building. But seeing Hua Ke's face again, he hadn't seen such a smile for several years, and he couldn't bear to let her be disappointed.

Well, be more vigilant at night.

Then Hua Ke let Gu Hai hug him and jumped into the tall building, and the two of them sat and rested, in cups of tea, eyebrows and eyebrows, waiting for the night to come.

The white clouds soon disappeared into the night with the setting sun. On this night, the stars dotted on the sky, embellishing the infinite starry sky.

Hua Ke went back and changed into a new willow-colored dress, adding a touch of greenery to the night. She smiled playfully, like a flying goose, jumped down the stairs, spun around gorgeously, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking, is it good-looking?"

Downstairs at Guhai Station, if spring comes into view, if the spring breeze blows on her face, her new clothes and smiling face jump into front of her, and thousands of flowers bloom in an instant.

He swallowed secretly and said, "It's good-looking." ”

Hua Ke heard this compliment, smiled even more, put his arm around him, and walked out the door.

This night temple fair is a rare beauty in the world!

Gu Hai and Hua Ke widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.

The starry sky in the sky has been obscured by the lights of the street.

Looking to the sky, I don't see Beidou, I don't see the wolf, I only see a red light, like the sunset red glow shining in the night, the evening breeze blows, and the lights flutter and sway on this bustling street.

Gu Hai and Hua Ke walked forward again, and the artist spewed flames from his mouth, and the raging fire was accompanied by cheers and applause around him, adding several layers of excitement to the night.

Passing through the sea of people, the two of them walked to the edge of the lake. There is a lantern in the lake, like a small boat, floating in the microwave, floating and sinking with starry lights, drifting towards the place where the water and the sky meet.

Hua Ke was stunned, bought a lotus lantern at the stall next to him, and put it in the blue water under the starry sky.

Just when the two of them were in a happy mood, the fireflies actually came to participate in this grand event, like a little snowflake, floating gently in the dark night, gently floating on people's eyebrows.

Before people had time to praise, I don't know who opened the cage of birds and beasts, and in an instant, all the fish swam in the water, and thousands of birds flew into the air.

When people are dizzying at this beautiful scenery, the fireworks bloom in the starry night, and the falling fireworks become a meteor shower in the sky, and disappear into the sky at the most brilliant moment.

Hua Ke got carried away, holding Gu Hai's arm, and looking up in the gorgeous scenery.

And Gu Hai, I haven't forgotten that the Hate Building has not appeared so far.

The fireworks dispersed, and under the thousands of traces of fireworks, a large number of people wearing zodiac masks emerged by the bridge.

They talked and laughed, on the white jade bridge of the lake, leisurely strolling in the beautiful scenery of tonight.

But although the scenery is beautiful and the lights are bright, there is still darkness around and a cool breeze.

Gu Hai was shocked in his heart, now that so many pedestrians were wearing this kind of mask walking beside him, how could they know who the real killer was? Where could they know whose movements were really attacking him?

He had to sigh secretly, the killer's methods were so clever.

Gu Hai hurriedly grabbed Hua Ke and didn't let her move anymore. He only whispered to her: "Someone has set up an ambush, beware of it." ”
