Wedge: The end of the world has fallen into people
The Six Treasure Building, the largest chamber of commerce in the Bailing Realm, is not one of them.
Some people say that as long as it can be called a city, there will be a six-treasure tower.
Later, some people even used whether a place has six treasure towers to measure whether it is a city.
And Liubao Tower, said to be a building, is actually more like a tower, like a ziggurat tower.
No matter where the Six Treasure Towers are, they are all very standard three-fold divisions, and some people say that these are the three kinds of people corresponding to this continent: swordsman, wrestler, and ninshi.
And just like his name, the Six Treasure Towers will always have only six floors, corresponding to the six levels of various people from bottom to top.
Just like a swordsman, if you are a swordsman below the sword master level, you can only be on the first floor, and you can go up to the second floor at least at the sword master level, and then up there are sword sects, sword spirits, sword honors, and sword saints, and above all this, there is a kind of existence that defies the sky and looks down on all beings------ super saint.
And there are only three super-saint-level powerhouses in the entire continent, and they are called the "Three Saints of the Sword" side by side, they are Yang Chengjun of Qi Xiuguo, Ji Nanxiao of Baiyue Kingdom, and Xia Hengmo of Tibetan Sword Country...
It is precisely because these three of them all wear swords that they have set off a sword frenzy in the entire continent...
But most of this kind of existence only appears in legends, and ordinary people may not be able to see it once in their lifetime....
.....................
And the reason why Huifeng City is called a city may be because there is also a Six Treasure Tower here.
Because this place is definitely not big, and it is the border pass of the Tibetan Sword Country, the popularity is already scarce, and the scarce popularity represents one thing - poverty.
Therefore, it is by no means a wise move to build a six-treasure building in such a place, but the six-treasure building still appears here.
And the Six Treasures House encompasses almost everything you can think of in this world, whether it's a treasure or a delicious delicacies, or anything else you can imagine. As long as you can pay the price...
And Huifeng City is very poor, so under normal circumstances, the Liubaolou here always seems very deserted compared to other cities...
But today, the Liubao Building here is full of people, not because the standard of living here has improved, all this, just because of a very strange regulation of the Liubao Building...
As long as it is a full moon night, all the wine and food of the Six Treasure Buildings on this continent are free.
The moon on this continent is full every three years, but even so, it is still an extremely loss-making business, and no one knows why there is such a rule.
Therefore, the originally deserted Liubao Building in Huifeng City was full today, and there were three people among them, walking towards the third floor in the envious eyes of others...
And in a corner by the window on the first floor, there is an old man who looks a little rickety, with a wooden knife hanging on his body that is broken to the point that it can no longer be broken, he is holding the chopsticks in his hand, rubbing it with some excitement, and the corners of his mouth have been grinning, revealing a row of yellow teeth ...
In front of him, there were three glasses full of wine, but he was the only one at the table, and what was even stranger was that he never opened his eyes from beginning to end, like a blind man.
He seemed to have waited for a long time, but it did not dampen his interest at all, he still rubbed the chopsticks in his hand with great interest, but the food on the table was often splashed on it by the raindrops outside the window, but he did not feel it at all, which also made the people around him gradually cast sympathetic glances at him.
What a sorrow it is for those who practice swords to be blind....
But no one came up to ask, in this day and age, no one cares about the life or death of a stranger, let alone an old blind man.
It's just that in the slight drizzle, a young man in black walked in from outside the door, his clothes had already been soaked by the rain, and his hair was also very attached to various places because of the rain, which looked extremely messy.
He had a long sword pinned to his waist, and slowly walked into the Six Treasure Building at this time, and the eyes of the people around him more or less glanced at him, and after seeing him dressed up, there was a little contempt in his eyes.
But he completely ignored the change in the gaze of the people around him, and just walked quickly and slowly towards the old man.
When he walked up to the old blind man, he stopped.
"The young man seems to have something on his mind. Without waiting for the young man to speak, the old man was the first to speak.
"Can the old man see it?" the young man began.
"Sometimes, you can see more clearly with your eyes closed than with your eyes open. Then the old man asked, "But you want to come to my old man's house and ask for a drink?"
"I haven't drunk in a long time," said the young man, picking up the glass on the table. "But there are two people, and they have entrusted me with one thing, that is, to come here and have a drink with you on their behalf. β
"Why didn't they come by themselves?"
"Maybe it's because they can't come. When the young man had said this, he threw his head up, and was about to finish the wine in one gulp, but for a moment he had a slight strange sensation that usually only occurred when he felt extremely dangerous.
But there was nothing unusual around him, he didn't see anyone moving, he didn't hear the sound of breaking wind, and more importantly, he didn't feel any murderous aura.
So he laughed to himself, maybe he was so nervous that he was hallucinating.
But when he lifted the cup and poured it into his mouth, he found that the wine glass he had been holding in his hand had been cut below the position below his cup, and the edge of the knife was extremely neat, and the bottom of the fallen cup was in the hands of the old man in front of him.
The simplest and most difficult sword in this world is silence.
Any sound or form is a loss.
Swords are made for killing, and you don't need to be too fancy, you only need to use the fastest and most concise way to make the opponent fall.
But few people know this simple truth.
"Those who can get the name of the Three Saints are really monsters. The young man muttered.
However, all that had just happened was clearly seen by the people around him, for from the moment the young man came in, he had attracted the attention of many people, and when he stopped at a blind man's table, they were even more curious.
And now, they looked at the old man as if they were a monster, and suddenly they found that they could not see his face, as if the air in front of his face was forever distorted, so that no one could see him.
And when people think about the face of that young man, they also find a terrible thing, that they forget what the young man looked like in the blink of an eye, and not just one person, but all of them.
"You guys, remember what he looked like?"
"You don't say I haven't paid attention, it seems...... Completely forgotten"
"Me too. β
"And what does that old man look like, can you see it?"
"I can't see. β
"I can't see clearly. β
The surrounding area exploded almost instantly, and all kinds of sounds were heard endlessly.
At this moment, the young man turned around and glanced at the crowd around him, and in an instant, the noisy crowd fell silent, and people ate and drank when they should have eaten, and they drank and seemed to have no memory of what had just happened.
"You, what's your name? β
"Ji Yao. The young man turned around and hesitated for a long time before replying very stiffly, but when he answered, he put down half of the cup in his hand and picked up another one on the table.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Entrusted by others, the end of people's affairs," he replied, he raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
"They, you killed them?"
"I don't have that ability, but their deaths have nothing to do with me. When the young man had finished speaking, he put down the glass in his hand, ignored the old man's reaction, turned and walked out the door.
And when he walked out of the door, the rain outside the door began to get heavier at some point, and the bean-sized raindrops slapped on his armor and made a "da-da" sound.
"Give me a reason to get out of here alive...."
"I didn't..."
And the moment he walked into the rain, the old man slowly lowered the sword finger that had been raised.
Because he heard a sound, for him, it was a sound that no matter how noisy the environment was, no matter how heavy the rain was, it was the sound of a tear dripping.
That's also the kind of pain that only people who have experienced the same grief can feel....
But after that, a voice sounded in his ears as if someone was leaning over and whispering to the old man: "What is the relationship between the three of you?"
Obviously, this is the voice of the young man.
"It's just the end of the world...."The old man seemed to be talking to himself.
It's just that after that, the people of the entire Liubaolou heard a song, like a folk song from Mobei, but the voice and the tune carried an endless depression and desolation:
"Why don't you relax in the mountains and forests, insects, butterflies, flowers and birds in front of the court.
I like one acre of land in front of the door, half an acre of square pond and half an acre of field.
The sunset shines on the autumn leaves, and the breeze caresses the strings in the middle of the night.
Carry a pot of drunken party for a day, wake up and bloom for another year.
When I opened my eyes, it was this time and the moon, and I only sighed that I had no chance in this life.
Receiving grace like the sea and returning a sword, loyalty and righteousness are incomplete.
It's ridiculous to be in the world, and I have no words to lose my mind.
If the heart is ashamed, it is difficult to sleep. β
The old man continued to drink as if he had not heard anything.
"Such a teenager should not be unknown. The one who spoke was a woman who was no more than fifty years old, dressed plainly, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes had an indescribable variety of styles.
At this time, she was standing behind the old man...
I think few people will believe that such a plainly dressed woman is actually Liu Shiyin, the ββββowner of the world-famous Liubao Building.
She didn't know when she was standing behind the old man.
But the old man was still drinking to himself, as if he didn't care about what Liu Shiyin said...
"Isn't what he is holding in his hand Ji Nanxiao's sword?" Liu Shiyin continued to speak: "Could it be that Nanxiao is really...?"
When the old man heard this, he put down his wine glass and said, "In this world, the only people who can kill Ji Nanxiao and Yang Chengjun are themselves..."
"But............," Liu Shiyin still said reluctantly.
"Nothingβ" The old man said to himself, then picked up his glass and drank it.
And after he finished speaking, Liu Shiyin no longer asked, the world said that he was free from worries and worries, his worries and sorrows, he understood people, but there were too few...
"But with the intelligence network of Liubaolou, it is impossible for such a talented person to have no information at all." Liu Shiyin muttered to herself.
She knows very well that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the peerless genius who has become famous. A person who could have been famous all over the world, but was never known, this is the most terrifying...
For most of those who are not swayed by fame, money, fame, and worldly temptations, will have great plans, whether they want to do so or not.
"You say, could he be like those families, a foreign race that came out of those distorted spaces..."Liu Shiyin didn't finish his words, and then heard the old man interrupt: "I don't know...."After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked out the window, and said to himself: "Is this continent finally going to change?"
But there was no trace of worry in the words, more than that, as if it was excitement, an excitement that could not be suppressed no matter what...
With that, he got up and walked straight out, and for the first time he opened his eyes, which seemed to be no longer black and white, but turned into a near-gray chaos.
And after he turned around, Liu Shiyin looked at his back and said, "Where are you going to go with such heavy rain!!
"Go and see how heavy this rain is...", the old man said that he had already walked into the heavy rain, and the heavy rain seemed to be even bigger the moment he walked out, and the rain fell on the old man like a fist, but he straightened up, straight like a sword, and walked towards the city tower step by step....
"How many times can you shoot with this body?" you...."Liu Shiyin shouted out through the rain curtain like a waterfall in the building.
"Who knows... I just don't know if I will be able to eat a good meal and drink a good pot of wine on the night of the full moon next year...", and he disappeared from the woman's vision.
"Yes, no matter which city you are in, if you want to eat any food, just come to the Six Treasure Tower, the doors of all the Six Treasure Towers in this world are open for you, and they are only open for you...."Liu Shiyin bowed her head and muttered.
When the old man heard this, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head imperceptibly, and after a long time, he looked up at the sky, and his open eyes seemed to be able to see far away, as far as the eye could see, it seemed that he had passed through the clouds and seen beyond the world...
"Is this the way of heaven you are pursuing?" I don't know who he was talking to, but after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and walked straight ahead...
And those who drank and ate continued to drink and eat, and no one noticed it, let alone a strange old man who was hobbling alone in the rainy night.....
Because this world is the world of cultivators.
And the world of practitioners is never gentle......
