Frontispiece: Kangning, the body of a giant python, is shaped like a snake shadow, and has the art of demagoguery. For the sword of evil.

Body:

Three days ago, Gu passed through the "system" spirit (the spirit master uniquely contacted the spirit species of the outside world, like a hummingbird, with wings. Survive in a closed eggshell, each spirit master carries three or four spirits, each spirit lives in a different eggshell, the sender by dripping the letter with spirit wine, put it into the designated eggshell given by the spirit master before, it will be passed to the spirit master through a special medium, if the letter comes, the system will shake back and forth in the eggshell, and make a strange sound, the eggshell also emits a crystal light. to show that a letter has come. ), received an invitation from a master within a radius of thirty miles.

Gu broke the shell, took out the letter from the mouth of the tie, and unfolded it to look at it.

"Sir is fine, but there are crimes in my village from time to time, and when the court is played, the officials only know how to collect the money and do not investigate it. The villagers couldn't, so they could only invite a wise and brave master like Mr. to come to help, and asked Mr. not to refuse. ”

Gu said a few words: "Go and do it quickly." But I saw these four words appear in the blank space at the end of the note. Gu wrapped the paper and put it into the mouth of the tie, and opened its mouth to swallow it, and the Gu knocked its head twice, and the broken shell became whole again.

Gu hurried away.

After walking day and night for three days, Gu finally came to that village, there is a torii at the entrance of the village, called "drunken incense".

"I heard that there is a village rich in mellow and luscious wine, and it seems that this is the place, so it is no wonder that it is called 'drunken incense'. Fair and reasonable. ”

Gu walked along the street, and when he saw that the people in the village saw such a strange stranger as him, they all avoided him, and he also knew in his heart that something unusual must have happened in this village.

When he came to the place designated by the village chief, Gu knew that it was the residence of the village chief.

"What a big mansion. Gu raised his eyes and watched, the manor was very atmospheric and luxurious, the door was made of locust wood, and two lion beast door bolts were inlaid in the middle, dyed with red lacquer water.

"This is more luxurious than the courtyard of the county government, no wonder there is a disaster, the wealth is too exposed, it is really unlucky. Gu sighed.

He knocked on the door bolt twice, "Who?" was an old man's voice.

"I'm the spirit master 'Gu', and it was you who wrote to the village chief to ask me to come. Gu said outside the door.

"Ah, it turned out to be a mage invited by the village chief, please wait outside the door, and I'll go and report to the village chief. ”

The sound stopped, and the old man's footsteps walked towards the inner courtyard.

"This village chief is really like a county magistrate, and he has his own housekeeper. I thought this old man was the head of this village, but I was mistaken. It made me a little uncomfortable. Gu muttered to himself outside the door, a look of displeasure on his face.

After a while. I heard a hurried footstep coming towards the door, and when I reached the door. If you don't see a human figure, you hear it first.

"Let Mr. Gu wait for a long time. ”

Then, the door opened.

A middle-aged man in his forties appeared in front of Gu's eyes, his clothes neat and gorgeous, his eyebrows were slender, and the most impressive thing was his big-bellied belly.

"Mr. Gu, please come in. The middle-aged man said with a shy belly.

Gu entered, and saw that there were wine barrels placed all over the inner courtyard, and many servants were working in the courtyard to make wine, passing through the open space in the center, and behind them were mansions. The first three rows and the last three rows are separated by small doors.

Gu thought to himself: "What a magnificence!"

After walking a few hundred meters along the road, Gu also learned the reason why the village chief invited him to come: the village chief is a big winemaker in this village, and the wine brewed is called the best in the village, so some people covet the wine made by the village chief. Always steal and sell it elsewhere to make a profit. When the village chief found out, he sent additional manpower to watch over him around the clock. Eventually, a man in black was found, and several servants who were guarding the barrel surrounded him, but the man in black was a strong martial artist, and he held something resembling a sword in his right hand, but he covered it with a black coarse cloth, and he couldn't see what he was holding in his hand.

Several servants who found him stealing beat him with wooden sticks, and the men in black nimbly dodged. And he struck down the people with what he was holding, and fled with the wine.

After that, he went even further, not taking the servants who took care of the liquor in the slightest, and blatantly stealing under everyone's noses. Although the village chief invited the gentry five times or three times, they didn't contribute, just to see the excitement. Later, the village chief had no choice, and heard that the spirit master Gu not only controlled the spirit seed well, but also had strong martial arts. Therefore, the village chief wrote a letter, asking Gu to help him.

When the village chief explained the ins and outs of the matter, Gu and him were already sitting in the hall.

The village chief asked the maid to cut a cup of good Yunnan tea for Gu. He added: "In the old days, this thief had been stealing every two or three days, and since he had been discovered by the servants and defeated them, he had to come to the house every night two or three times to steal the wine. It gives me a headache and I can't help it. ”

"I hope Mr. Gu can stop him, if he succeeds, I will definitely repay Mr. well." ”

"Don't panic the village chief, I'll meet him for a while tonight. ”

After the second watch, the moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. On the wall to the right of the eaves, a dark shadow flickered by. He was bold, and although he was extremely fast, the sound of his footsteps and rubble was noticeable and clear.

In a short time, the man in black was very purposefully in one of the casks in the darkest part of the southwest corner, when five or six servants who were in ambush in the corner lit torches and raised their sticks to attack him.

The man stood unhurriedly in front of the barrel, and stood there shaking his head, as if in defiance of the man opposite.

Sure enough, three strikes knocked those people to the ground. Continue to steal alcohol.

Gu, according to the timing, kicked in the air, and the man was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground.

Gu kicked again, the man dodged, Gu pressed step by step, and the black-clothed man who was approaching retreated to the corner of the wall, which happened to be the highest place in the courtyard wall, and the person could not climb up and escape.

"When you meet me today, your luck is zero, so let's tie it down. Gu put down his hand and said.

The man dusted off the dust that had been struck to his chest by the Gu, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were wide with rage. Attacking with an unknown object wrapped in coarse cloth in his hand. Although he is agile in his movements and his martial arts are also good at martial arts, he is not Gu's opponent in terms of hand strength, foot strength or sensitivity.

The two fought for nearly thirty rounds, and the Gu hit him three times, and the Gu was never touched by him.

"You are not my opponent, and there is no way to escape if you want to, do you still have to resist?"

"Really?!" the man began.

But I saw him pull the coarse cloth tether and break away from the black coarse cloth. A sword appeared in front of Gu.

The whole body of the sword was pale green, as if it was made of high-grade jade, Gu looked at it with his eyes, and found that there was spiritual activity inside the scabbard, Gu knew that this sword was extraordinary.

The man raised the sword in front of his face and slowly opened the scabbard, but there was no sword body, but a bladeless empty sword.

"Are you insulting me, scaring the world with an empty sword with no hilt and body?"

"You can see if there is a sword body or not. Before the words fell, the sword instantly changed into a pale green sword body, and Gu could see it clearly. It was a sword formed by the convergence of green spirits.

Gu hurriedly dodged, and the sword slashed into the wooden barrel, and the wooden barrel was instantly halved, and the wine splashed all over the ground. With another wave, a stream of green sword qi attacked towards Gu, and Gu dodged sideways, but the sword qi continued to attack from behind and forward, and Gu was unprepared and was cut on his right arm.

"Hmph, do you dare to say that I'm inferior to you?" the man stretched out his sword and pointed at Gu Contempt.

Gu covered the bleeding wound, very painful.

"It's painful, isn't it? Hahaha... This sword is one of the evil swords, if you are injured by it, it will magnify the wound several times the pain, some people can no longer fight because they can't bear the pain, they can only be at my mercy, I hope you can play with me more. ”

"Hahahaha..." Gu burst out laughing.

"You... Why are you laughing?" the man asked, puzzled.

"For other people, this sword can still be applied to such a role, but today you found the wrong opponent, your sword body was originally formed by the spirit of the aggregate, and I, as a spirit master, if I don't know the performance and habits of the spirit, I won't be laughed at by my peers. ”

"You are... Are you a spirit master?" the man said hesitantly.

"Yes. I am a spirit master Gu. ”

"It is rumored that there is a white-haired young man in the rivers and lakes, although he is mediocre in appearance, he can understand the spirit seed and has the powerful power to control the spirit. The wooden box he carried with him contained all kinds of rare spirit seeds and various ancient artifacts. He can use it flexibly, and is known as 'a rare genius in the spiritual world in a hundred years'. Is that you?"

"Away from all the flattery, and now that you have provoked me, I will arrest you today. ”

After the man knew the identity of the Gu, he turned around and wanted to escape.

The Gu instantly moved to his side. Tell him, "Do you think you can still go?"

The man first took half a step back, his eyes were full of timidity, and then his face showed a fierce light, and he shouted: "It is said that you are a genius, and it is not as terrible as the legend says when you see you today." It's just rumors. With that, swing your sword and stab at Gu. Gu took a few steps back and smiled slightly: "Whether the rumors on the rivers and lakes are true or not, you can see if you see." ”

As he spoke, Gu pulled out a sword from the wooden box. said: "Let you see the power of the Taoist Supreme Zhuang Zhou Saken Yunmeng." ”

But seeing that sword gave birth to a powerful blue spiritual power, Gu rose into the air, Gu held the sword in his left hand, and chanted a spell with his right hand. Colloquial: "Dance of Dream Butterflies", those auras turned into needle rain and quickly slipped down in front of the man in black, and when they arrived in front of him, they turned into countless butterflies and surrounded the man in black.

The man in black was wrapped in a blue butterfly, waving his sword in the confined space. Screams, fencing, and falling sounds.

Gu thought that he would pass out in a few moments.

However, hearing a break from inside, the blue butterfly Dao array was defeated by a huge white spirit snake.

Gu was taken aback, and said to himself: "What kind of sword is this, it has such power, cracking the Taoist Dream Butterfly Array." ”

Looking at that person again, his veil was eroded by the Dream Butterfly Formation, and Gu knew that this thief was a young man with strong blood.

"I'm going to kill you!" the man's eyes were all light green.

Gu thought secretly: "I was swallowed up by the sword in my hand. ”

The man swung his sword, and the white snake gathered by the sword qi meandered forward. It was running quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gu's body was wrapped in a white snake. The situation is critical.

The white snake spit out its slender tongue, its eyes were focused on Gu's body, and Gu suddenly felt trembling all over his body, unable to move.

But Gu's consciousness was still very clear.

"Could it be that this is the magic of evil spirits, which the world calls 'snake illusion'. ”

Gu's consciousness slowly came to a green space, but he saw countless white snakes crawling up his body and biting him. It caused him a terrible pain all over his body.

Gu felt that his body was slowly being eroded and melted.

"Gu, you are the one who has survived through a thousand hardships, you know the pain of life better than anyone else, but you also understand the meaning of life better than anyone else, how can you die here. ”

It was Master's voice, Gu opened his eyes, and shouted, "I can't die here!" There was a black spirit swimming in Gu's right eye, it was the spirit "Gu" that was eroding him. They feel the crisis of their hosts and understand that once their hosts die, they will disappear forever. Some of them, coming out of Gu's right eye, fell on the white snake's body like a puddle of ink, it was like sulfuric acid, which made the white snake's body melt, and the white snake was in unbearable pain, kept struggling, and finally turned into a puddle of green water.

Those black Gu slowly converged and entered Gu's eyes, Gu half-squatted on the ground, panting heavily, and after recovering some strength a little, he looked at the person again. Fall to the ground.

Gu struggled to stand up, walked over to the man, and picked up the sword, the word "Kangning" engraved on the hilt.

Gu coughed twice: "Is this the assassin's sword Kangning?" carelessly, he was almost killed by it, fortunately, this person will not use this Geshiqi sword, just now he was able to crack the butterfly formation, probably because the cry of despair awakened this sword, so that those green dark spirits absorbed his essence as a sacrifice and gave birth to a powerful power. Fortunately, when the White Snake besieged me, some of that person's essence had been withdrawn by him, otherwise, my life would have been gone. ”

Seeing that Gu had defeated the thief, the village chief came out of the corner where he was hiding, and ordered his subordinates to tie him up and beat him with sticks.

"Beat me hard! Beat me to death! Beat him half to death first, and escort him to the government tomorrow, so that his life is worse than death. The village chief gritted his teeth.

The man was in a slumber, awakened by pain. At first, he begged loudly for mercy, and then scolded: "Brute! Your own wine is brewed well, and the quantity is large, so you will squeeze the brewing families of small households in the village." After all the brewers have been squeezed and decayed, they will become the only ones who will change the price of wine at will and make ill-gotten gains! Where do you think your current generosity comes from! It is all squeezed out of the hearts of small families like ours! What is the difference between you and those corrupt officials? I am not stealing your wine, I am just taking back what belongs to me!!

"What nonsense are you thief, beat me! Beat him hard! Beat him to death!" said the village chief viciously.

The man was beaten and fainted. And Gu's face was sad.

The man was then locked up in a house.

Around the fourth watch, while the janitor was asleep, Gu stole into the door, carried it out, and escaped from the house.

The man woke up and saw himself in the middle of the field, and saw the Gu. Say, "Why save me?"

"I don't kill the weak. Of course, you're not worth my hands either. If you want to become stronger, use your own hands to open up a righteous and bright career and prove it to your enemies. In return for saving you, I took the sword in your hand. ”

The man was in the bright air, watching Gu walk away.
