On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Yongping in the Western Jin Dynasty, in the palace of the king of Chu in Jingzhou. Sima Ting, the youngest son of the King of Chu, who was dressed in a purple brocade robe and tied with a jade belt around his waist, had a tender grass in his mouth, was lying on the roof with his hands on his feet crossed, and was looking at a full moon in the sky with an evil face.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the entire Xiangyang City is decorated with lights, gongs and drums to celebrate, and all the people are full of joyful smiles......

Except for him, Sima Ting.

He wanted to be alone. An old man......

That must have been eleven years ago, when he was only seven years old. That is, the Lantern Festival these days, right? In the middle of the night, a man who claimed to be a governor crashed into his room......

Don't get me wrong! It's not what everyone thinks.

Cough...... When the governor crashed into his room, he took him captive to a forest outside the city, and asked him, "Do you want to learn martial arts?" ”

He Sima Ting is very talented, he can speak at the age of half, he can write at the age of one, he can sing at the age of two, and he can write at the age of three...... By the age of seven, he had read a lot of books and gradually began to understand the world. However, I still feel a little unfamiliar with martial arts.

Seeing that he was confused, the governor stretched out his hand and pointed to a half-hugged tree next to him, only to hear a "poof", and the whole tree turned into powder. Sima Ting's small eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Du Jue smiled proudly, and as soon as he raised his breath, his body was suspended. With his right hand, the leaves on the ground and on the trees surrounded him. Under the moonlight, it looks particularly dazzling. Sima Ting watched and clapped excitedly.

Seeing that the effect had arrived, Du Jue immediately fell to the ground, and said with an evil smile on his face: "This is kung fu, do you want to learn it?" In order to seduce this apprentice to take the bait, he worked hard, and after a while of hard work, the true qi in his body had already gone to seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

But fortunately, Sima Ting has been bewitched by the Governor and can't tell the east and west, north and south, and nodded vigorously.

As a result, he Sima Ting began to be taken to the woods to teach martial arts. But in the first two days, Sima Ting was still very well-behaved. But after three days, he began to be stubborn, and he played tricks on the governor, and every time he made the governor embarrassed. After more than ten days, the governor finally collapsed, leaving a secret book and disappearing. And this disappearance is eleven years! Eleven years!

Sima Ting spit out the tender grass in his mouth, grabbed a pot of jade liquid on the side, and poured it into his mouth. However, Du Jue left at that time, but Sima Ting's kung fu continued to practice, and the progress was rapid. When he grew up, he realized that his master Du Jue was actually the master of the Demon Gate! And what he practiced was the Demon Gate Holy Scripture "The Great Shura Demon Scripture"! Because the reputation of the Demon Gate has been poor, it has been the target of suppression by generations of dynasties for thousands of years, so Sima Ting has never told others this secret. The kung fu he usually uses is also the moves in the "Rising Dragon Duel" that his father let him practice.

Isn't it a taste to have a secret in your heart! Sometimes he really wanted to grab Du Jue's collar and yell: "Why the fuck did you choose the master to teach you a kung fu that you dare not use!" ”

However, in fact, Sima Ting was still quite grateful in his heart. If it weren't for the superintendent, he would probably not have the ability to fly and break rocks with his bare hands. What he is most proud of in the past 18 years is this kung fu. In fact, even he himself wasn't quite sure where he had got, because he didn't have a chance to use magic skills at all! It's just that in ordinary times, it is used by simulating the magic skill "Ascending Dragon Decision", and it is already a rare opponent in Jingzhou!

It's just that in the past ten days after the Chinese New Year every year, every time he cultivates the "Great Shura Demon Codex" in the middle of the night, he will vaguely feel a call in his heart that blood is thicker than water, as if he wants to evoke some lost memories in his heart. Moreover, he Sima Ting can only advance thousands of miles day by day by cultivating the "Great Shura Demon Classic", but it is extremely difficult to cultivate other secret books, which makes him puzzled!

So at this time of year, Sima Ting especially wants to find Du Jue and figure out what all this is all about! Kedu is one of the few top masters today, how can he say that he can find it? Alas! I knew that I wouldn't have been so good at the beginning......

"Old Seven!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the ground, and Sima Ting knew that it was his third brother Sima Yi when he heard it. Sima Ting is the seventh in the Chu Palace, and there are three brothers and three sisters on it. On weekdays, this third brother, who is not a skilled student, is the best friend of himself. Sima Yi is merry by nature, and he can be said to be unhappy without a woman! No, after staying in the palace for a winter, I was tired of seeing the red and willow green Ismail in the palace, and in the past two days, I have been egging myself to run away from home with him and sneak out to see the beautiful mountains and rivers!

Ahem, of course! Naturally, it is inevitable to scourge some good ladies by the way.

I saw that Sima Yi asked his subordinates to bring a ladder, climbed up to the roof, and lay down next to Sima Ting, turned his head and asked, "Old Seven!" What the third brother told you, how did you think about it? After speaking, he looked at Sima Ting expectantly. Of course he is going to drag Sima Ting! This seventh child is the youngest son in the house, and it can be said that thousands of favors are all in one, making their brothers and sisters envious and jealous. You must know that whenever you get involved with the seventh child, no matter how big the matter is, it will be a big thing and a small thing in the parents.

Sima Ting smiled helplessly and turned over and sat up, knowing that the third brother wanted to find someone to carry the black pot together, plus a thug. When did you bully men and women before, it wasn't Sima Ting who knocked out the opponent? If you just rely on Sima Yi's three-legged cat's kung fu, I don't know how many times he will be thrown into the ditch by the self-proclaimed heroes of the people.

Seeing that Sima Ting seemed unmoved, Sima Yi also turned over and sat up, and said mysteriously: "Old Seven, this time the third brother will take you to Yangzhou to play, where not only the scenery is beautiful, but the beauty is like a flower." Also, it is said that after a while, there will be a great battle between the righteous and the demons! Today's four masters of the Transformation Realm will appear. Don't miss out! ”

Righteous and demonic war? Sima Ting glanced at Sima Yi. knows that his third brother coaxes women with clever words on weekdays, and few words can be believed when he spits out his mouth. But Sima Ting is still moved, go out and have a look, maybe he can really bump into Du Jue! Anyway, staying in the palace of the king of Chu is boring. So he said, "Third brother, when are you going to leave?" ”

When Sima Yi saw that Sima Ting agreed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said, "Without further ado!" How about leaving early the day after tomorrow? Let's take a small guy with us, I'm afraid that there will be too many people to mix with Xiangyang City. ”

Early the day after tomorrow? Sima Ting nodded and said, "Okay!" That's it! ”

In the spring of February, when the north is still full of wind and snow, the Yangzhou area has faded its winter clothes early, and it is already a piece of birds and flowers.

On the shore of West Lake in Qiantang County, Wu County, Yangzhou, a handsome man with a swaying body and fair skin attracted the attention of countless passers-by. I saw him regularly shaking a gold-plated paper fan in his hand, and he was graceful. The face that was so beautiful that even women were ashamed of themselves was filled with a faint charming smile.

"Third brother! You don't want to seduce a girl from a good family here! It's only February now, and you're shaking the fan with it, it's too contrived! It was a tall and dignified young man next to the handsome boy who spoke, and I saw him covering his forehead with his hands, and his face was full of helplessness. Although it is not as good as the handsome son Peugeot, it has more masculinity.

The young man is Sima Ting, the youngest son of King Chu of Jingzhou, and the handsome son is naturally Sima Yi. The two traveled eastward all the way to the mountains and rivers, and finally came to the world-famous West Lake.

Sima Yi finally closed the fan, threw it back, and threw it to the little guy behind him. Then he said earnestly to Sima Ting: "Old Seven! Have you ever heard the saying 'people don't have a bad boy'?! Life is short for decades, but it is to indulge in joy. ”

Sima Ting pursed his lips, turned his head to ignore Sima Yi, and admired the scenery of West Lake.

I saw that on the shore of West Lake, countless colorful and bright flowers swayed gently like the sea.

On the small stone path on the side, talented and beautiful women appeared one after another, swimming together. What a fragrant scene of red and willow green......

The blue waves of the West Lake transform into countless fresh water scales in the gentle sunlight, and the end is incomparably gorgeous. There are also small boats gently paddling across the lake, and beautiful women playing in the water on the bow, which is eye-catching......

There is a lake pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there is a singer who has excellent singing skills in the pavilion and sings "the water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy." If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. The light boat is short and the West Lake is good, and the green water is long. The grass embankment, faint sheng song everywhere. There is no wind and the water surface is slippery, and the boat does not move. The slight ripples startled the sand birds to fly across the shore. "An elegant and beautiful melody softly surrounds the sky above West Lake. It's so wonderful, it's intoxicating. I came to the fairyland on earth......

Sima Ting waited until the end of the song, and couldn't help but look at the lake and high-five!

Then he pulled out his sword and roared: "I am a madman in Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kongqiu!" Holding a blood-drinking sword, drunk Xizilou! Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles! Brush away the matter, and hide the heavenly horror skills! ”

The originally static waves on the surface of the lake also seemed to be frightened, and suddenly spread from the center of the lake pavilion to all sides. In an instant, the smoky and tranquil atmosphere was blown away.

The literati by the lake couldn't help but stop, and looked at Sima Ting in surprise and anger, as if they all wanted to see which prodigal son was crying wolf in this West Lake fairyland, destroying their poetry and painting and pleasing the beauty of Yaxing.

Sima Ting didn't care either, and said that he was charming, which made countless tourists compete to look at it. He turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Third brother." What do you think of my poem? ”

Sima Yi didn't know when he had reopened the fan, but he was in front of his face, his footsteps moved back slightly, and his eyes fluttered in all directions, but he wanted to pretend that he didn't know Sima Ting.

The beautiful singer in the pavilion in the middle of the lake also looked this way, but she looked sad and shook her head helplessly.

Sima Yi suddenly caught a glimpse of the beauty in the Huxin Pavilion with such a resentful expression, only to feel that his eyes lit up, and blurted out: "Wonderful! ”

Sima Ting only said that Sima Yi was praising him, and said with a smile: "Pass the prize!" Overpraise! ”

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi grabbed him, and ran to the lake pavilion, wanting to "meet" the beauty.

Sima Ting was helpless, let Sima Yi grasp him, and followed him to the Huxin Pavilion.

I saw a gentle and elegant middle-aged man sitting in the pavilion, exuding a secretly heart-wrenching temperament.

Sima Yi led Sima Ting to salute closely: "This brother, can you ask for a glass of wine?" As he spoke, a pair of thief eyes kept glancing at the singer.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Your Royal Highnesses the two princes, please take a seat." I have heard that the prince of Chu Wangfu is a hero, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. Before the year of the weak crown, a body of martial arts has reached the peak! Fang just chanted a poem, but it was full of neutrality, and the sound shook Xizi Lake! ”

The Sima brothers were secretly surprised, how did this middle-aged man know the identities of the two of them? Then put away the smile and sat down.

Sima Ting arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?" How do you know who I am? ”

The middle-aged man picked up the wine jug, poured wine for the two of them personally, and said with a smile: "The contemptible person's surname is Han Mingsu." Met four princes. ”

"Hansu?!" Sima Ting was extremely surprised when he heard this: "A sword is frozen for three thousand miles, and it has nothing to do with wind and moon and frost." The first master of contemporary Confucianism, Han Su?! ”

Sima Yi also showed an incredible look on his face, and this cold element could be regarded as thunderous to them. Han Su was an official in the court, and he was a close confidant of Yang Jun, the hot Taifu in the court. And he is one of the only four masters of the Innate Transformation Realm today! Unexpectedly, they were met here.

Han Su chuckled: "Your Highness is smiling." As he spoke, he raised his glass to the two Sima brothers, raised his head and drank it.

Sima Ting and the two didn't move, but Sima Ting suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know what Lord Han is doing here?" ”

Han Su glanced at Sima Ting and said, "I'm waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Ting!" ”

Sima Ting was a little surprised: "Me? ”

Han Su smiled: "Exactly." Your Highnesses, please sit down for a moment, and let me tell you a story. As he spoke, he glanced at the singer, who nodded, and began to sing softly on the piano.

Sima Yi didn't have the heart to think about the singer anymore at the moment, and looked at Sima Ting with a puzzled face.

I saw Sima Ting gently shake his head at him, indicating that he didn't understand what the situation was.

Sima Ting looked at the unfathomable smile on Han Su's face, and he was puzzled.

I only heard Han Su say slowly: "This story starts from ancient times, when my Chinese ancestors, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, multiplied in the Central Plains. Originally, everyone was fine, until one day the general Chi You under the Southern Yan Emperor rebelled. The eighty-one clans under Chiyou are fierce by nature and good at horns, and Emperor Yan was beaten by Chiyou in nine battles and nine defeats, and had to go north to ask the Yellow Emperor for help. The Yellow Emperor knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so he united all the tribes to face Chiyou. The two sides are evenly matched, and the battle is dark!

It wasn't until later that the Yellow Emperor was instructed by the Nine Heavens Xuannu to take advantage of the strong wind and the sand and dust to launch an attack on the Chiyou Department, and fought against Chiyou in Zhuolu, and finally defeated Chiyou and surrounded it. Chiyou knew that he would die, but he sacrificed his whole body of flesh and blood to Chiyou Qi. The Chiyou Banner broke through the sky and headed south, and the sky was full of blood, as if millions of war spirits had awakened and fought. When Chi You fell to the ground and was about to die, he kept muttering: 'Nine thunders are shocking in the night, and our clan is ......re-established' After Chi You died, nearly half of Chi You's Jiuli tribe wept bitterly and drew his sword to follow Chi You, and the rest surrendered to the Yanhuang tribe.

However, it was said that most of the Chiyou tribe had been reduced by half and integrated into the Yanhuang tribe, but who expected that there were Chiyou descendants among them, which was an incomparable disaster. They are obsessed with restoring their ancestral hegemony. More than 1,000 years later, King Wu of Zhou raised an army to attack the army and replaced it with Shang Tang. At that time, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, King Wu found Hu Gongman, a descendant of Yu Shun, and sealed him in the Chen State. Hu Gongman built the capital Wanqiu, traveled to Liuhu Lake day and night, and was aroused by his feelings, so he took off his clothes and jumped into the lake to play. Unexpectedly, it was found that there was an ancient oracle bone inscription engraved on the back armor of the dragon turtle corpse in the middle of the lake, and it said: "Nine thunder shocking demons were born. Hu Gongman was greatly surprised, and went back to his house to ask the fortune teller but to no avail. Curiosity grew, so I inquired around. Finally, one night, a man who claimed to be able to solve word puzzles came to the house, and Hu Gongman, driven by his curiosity, met the man late at night. After a night of secret talks, Hu Gongman did not say a word about the matter.

Han Su paused when he said this, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, and then continued: "Others don't know what happened that night, but there is a secret book in the palace. At that time, Hu Gongman met with the descendants of the Chiyou Department back then, claiming to be from the Holy Gate, that is, the Demon Gate in the mouth of the world. After talking with him, Hu Gongman felt that his teachings coincided with many of his own views, so he happily befriended him, and later joined the Demon Gate. As we all know, Chen Guodaxing, one of the twelve vassal states, has a great deal to do with this matter. Of course, the Demon Gate also relied on Chen Guo to thrive. ”

After that, Han Su glanced at Sima Ting, and said, "This is the story I want to tell." At that time, the person Hu Gongman saw was the owner of the Demon Gate at that time, and the 'Nine Thunder Shocking Demon was born' is the oldest legend of the Demon Gate, which is what Chi You said when he died, which means that the Holy Son of the Demon Gate will come to the world on the night when the thunder explodes nine times in a row, and the world will be in chaos at the right time, and the Holy Son of the Demon Gate can take the opportunity to lead the Demon Gate to dominate the world.

The Demon Gate has developed for thousands of years, and it is already powerful today, but after all, it is unable to hold the bull's ear of the Central Plains. Therefore, the Demon Gate has been waiting for the birth of the Demon Gate Holy Son for generations. Until the first four years of Thailand, Chiyou Qi appeared in the east well. Five years later, on the seventh night of the first month of the ninth year of Taishi, there was a vision of nine thunders in the area of Xiangyang, Jingzhou. Since then, the activities of the Demon Gate have been rampant, and it is believed that their Demon Gate Holy Son descended on the Xiangyang area that night! ”

Hearing this, the two Sima brothers fell silent.

Coincidentally, wasn't Sima Ting born on that day?

Han Su said lightly: "Your Highness, the babies born in the area of Xiangyang City that night, except for Your Highness, have been captured and killed in the palace one after another in the past eighteen years. ”

Sima Ting heard that Han Su's tone was not good, and he understood that Han Su was deliberately waiting for the two of them here today, Han Su was a master of the innate realm, and he was afraid that he would not have the slightest chance to win under the joint efforts of his two brothers! But the two of them can't be tied back, right? As he spoke, he swept around, but saw that a large number of plainclothes men had appeared on the shore of Xizi Lake at some point, surrounding this pavilion in the center of the lake.

Han Su smiled and asked Sima Ting: "Your Highness is strong in martial arts, and he is already proud of the younger generation!" But don't bother to leave today. Or follow me back to Beijing to find out, if it weren't for His Royal Highness, I Hansu would definitely personally send His Royal Highness back to Jingzhou to make amends to the prince of Chu! ”

Sima Yi Huo Ran got up and looked at Han Su and said fiercely: "Han Su! If you treat me like this today, aren't you afraid that my father will find out and write to the court to destroy your ten clans?! ”

Han Su smiled, took out a holy decree from his bosom and said, "Your Highness, let's see what this is?" I am in charge of this matter under the emperor's secret edict, and I have the power to kill suspicious people all over the world! I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Highness. ”

When Sima Ting and the others saw the holy decree, their hearts sank. Knowing that this is no longer good. The people in power in the past generations are extremely taboo about the Holy Son of the Demon Gate, once it is confirmed, even if he is the prince and prince, it is inevitable that his head will fall to the ground. For the sake of the great Jin country, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go! What's more, he still has magic skills, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to argue with it, and there is only one way of thinking!

Sima Ting's heart is horizontal, and he can't go with him! As long as he can run back to Jingzhou, Han Su can't help him! With an army of more than 100,000 under the command of the King of Chu, Han Su dared to go to the State of Chu to arrest people, will he wait until now?

Han Su looked at Sima Ting with a chuckle and said, "Your Highness." Are you taking the initiative to come with me? Or do you want me to do it? ”

Sima Ting and Sima Yi glanced at each other, and suddenly drew their swords and stabbed at Han Su fiercely, only to see that the entire sword body burst out with a light blue color!

Han Su was startled and exclaimed, "Innate realm? How can it be! The palm of his hand revealed a cold light, and he actually took Sima Ting's sword with his bare hands.

Sima Ting slashed out with a sword, but he immediately pulled back, jumped into the water, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

Han Su's figure flashed, and when he came to the pavilion, he looked into the water, but he could no longer see Sima Ting's figure. Han Su sighed silently and muttered, "Innate realm? How can it be. He was only eighteen years old. ”

At this moment, Sima Yi was held to his neck by the singer with a dagger and did not dare to move. It turned out that when Sima Ting attacked Han Su, the singer took action to restrain Sima Yi. Sima Yi's face was in a cold sweat, he didn't expect such a delicate beauty to be so high in martial arts!

Han Su turned around, glanced at Sima Yi, and said lightly: "Let him go, let's go!" ”

The singer bowed her head, and followed Han Su.

Seeing that there was no threat to his life, Sima Yi had the courage to shout at the back of the singer: "Beauty, what is your name?!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the singer didn't look back, and when she shook her hand, she shot the dagger in her hand, and the dagger was nailed to the pillar with Sima Yi's scalp, so frightened that Sima Yi immediately closed his mouth.

Sima Yi came back to his senses, ran to the edge of the pavilion, and looked underwater. I saw that the water surface had returned to calm, and I couldn't find Sima Ting's figure at all. I can't help but feel lost. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly found that there were blisters on the water surface, and then Sima Ting's face appeared.

Sima Yi wanted to scream excitedly, but he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, turned his head to see that Han Su had already led people away, and then nodded vigorously towards Sima Ting.
