Chapter 16: The clouds are deep and nowhere to go

Whether it is the New Year or the Lantern Festival, the dilapidated courtyard seems to be extremely deserted, but today it is unusually lively.

Eight people appeared in front of the small courtyard at the same time, looking at the neatly written Spring Festival couplets, the clothes of the eight people were all the same, and the eyes of the eight people were also the same.

Doubts, only doubts.

Because the person they want to kill tonight is not a star-gathering mirror, nor a divine realm, or even a sea-viewing mirror, but just a spirit realm, or a spirit realm that only broke through last night.

The man with the sword on his back walked to the wormhole-ridden door and knocked on the door.

In addition to these eight people, there are many people in the vicinity of the small courtyard.

A plump, stunningly beautiful woman stood in an attic on the south side, looking out over the courtyard.

An old man with a cigarette stick in his hand stood on a stone arch bridge, swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

A short man stood under a willow tree on the bank of the Rhine, and beside him stood a woman dressed as a shopkeeper.

The beautiful woman standing in the attic squinted slightly, looking gloomy and cruel. If the eight people standing in front of the door of the small courtyard saw such a look, they would definitely feel that they were wrong, that Senior Sister Yu, who used to not eat fireworks in the world, and Fairy Yu, who was full of praise from the Great Elders, how could this be?

The old man standing on the stone arch bridge did not have any expression, his eyes were still half-closed, and he was spitting out mist there.

The short man standing under the willow tree looked at the stone arch bridge with a hesitant look, but the woman beside him was full of anxiety, and she was holding the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands.

With the anticipation, worry, and concern of these people, the door of the small courtyard made a low and hoarse voice and slowly opened.

A teenager stood in the courtyard, looking at the eight people outside.

Naturally, he didn't know these eight people, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

It was the man with the sword who knocked on the door who spoke, and he glanced up and down at the young man in the courtyard with a pair of eyes before saying, "Looking for you." ”

The boy was even more puzzled, but still said, "But I don't know you. ”

The man with the sword on his back smiled and said, "We don't know you either." ”

He restrained his smile, so he became emotionless.

Su Xiaoqi really couldn't believe that a person's expression could be so relaxed, and before he could speak, this person had already said: "Sometimes, you don't need to know the other party's name to kill someone. ”

Listening to such words, if Su Xiaoqi still doesn't know what the other party means, then he is really not stupid, but stupid.

He slowly stepped back, becoming especially dignified, because these people, each of them were strong, so strong that he felt powerless.

After just two steps out, he stopped, in his opinion, he did this is just a superfluous move, if the other party makes a move, even if he retreats farther, it is useless, not to mention that the other party is not one person, but eight people.

After stopping, he asked, "Are you from Haotian Sect?"

After saying this, he shook his head in self-denial, "No, although Haotian Sect is also very strong, it shouldn't have the courage to dispatch so many powerhouses at least above the Zhao God Realm at one time." ”

This sentence made eight people stunned at the same time.

The man with the sword on his back smiled and said, "I might as well tell you, we are from Qichaoshan, so if you have any friends, we can allow you to write your last words and ask your friends to help you avenge you, not only will we not destroy the letters, but we will also help you deliver the letters." ”

Su Xiaoqi sneered, then shook his head and said, "I have no friends, none of them." ”

The man with the sword on his back nodded, obviously talking about everything, there was no need to talk nonsense like this anymore, so he suddenly became extremely serious, because he had always felt that killing people was an extremely serious thing in itself.

Whether the other party is strong or weak, it should be taken seriously, which is also a kind of respect for the deceased before death.

He stepped forward and walked into the courtyard, then held the long sword behind his back and said, "Although I carry a sword, I rarely use it. ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded and said, "You can kill people without a sword, and some people do it like this." ”

The man with the sword on his back nodded and said, "But I think you have the qualifications to let me use the sword, if after a sword, you are not dead, and the eight of us will return to the mountain." ”

He asked, "You should know the power of this sword." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded.

The man with the sword on his back said: "So if you have any life-saving hole cards, it's best to take them all out." ”

Su Xiaoqi naturally wouldn't doubt the other party's words, so he didn't hesitate and directly pulled out the knife.

He had never encountered such a situation before, and the eight powerhouses who were at least in the divine realm represented the situation of death today.

But the strange thing is that there is no trace of fear in his heart, on the contrary, it is very calm.

Maybe death is not a thing to fear for him, in the past two years, which day has not been born and died, and which time has not been trading with death.

He pointed the knife forward at the man with the sword on his back, and his tone was calm, as if there was not even a little fluctuation, "I only have one knife." ”

Eight people looked at the young man in front of them at the same time, and at the same time at the knife in his hand.

An ordinary knife, where the handle meets the blade, is engraved with a small "cloud" character.

Seeing this knife, the faces of the eight people changed at the same time, and they spoke almost at the same time: "Yun Shen doesn't know where to go!?"

All the momentum of the man with the sword disappeared in an instant, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword also let go, he didn't even look at the fat senior brother, and said directly: "You have taken my sword." ”

After saying this, he turned around directly.

The other seven did not hesitate, they all turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and when they left, they also closed the door of the courtyard full of wormholes.

Su Xiaoqi stood in the courtyard, his face full of puzzlement, and he only felt a little inexplicable.

In just two days, he had heard the five words "Yunshen doesn't know where" twice, but he didn't understand what these five words represented.

But no matter what these five words represent, what is certain is that it is an existence that is even afraid of the mountains, and what is certain is that it must be related to the knife in his hand.

So his eyes looked at the short knife that had accompanied him for two years.

In the attic on the south side, the beautiful woman was full of doubts, she couldn't understand why these eight people suddenly stopped, because he didn't see anyone except Su Xiaoqi and Qi Chaoshan eight people appear, and he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

He stomped his feet, walked down the attic with a look of resentment, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

She had to wait for these eight people in the City Lord's Mansion, and she had to ask about this matter clearly.

On the stone arch bridge, the old man knocked the cigarette stick in his hand on the bridge railing, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you Su Rufan, you are calculating deep enough, even I will count it for you." ”

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked down the stone arch bridge.

Under the big willow tree, Tong Sanniang's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Wu Yuan shook his head and said bitterly: "It seems that from the beginning, we have done this more. ”

Tong Sanniang was even more puzzled.

Wu Yuan raised his head, yearning, awe, and respect, and said quietly: "When I walked the empire in my early years, I once heard such a legend, 'Tianji Pavilion in the northwest, coming and going to immortals, Gusu City in the southeast, and Yunshen doesn't know where to go'. ”

He put away his thoughts, looked at the dilapidated courtyard, and said with a wry smile: "Good guy, the two most mysterious forces in the empire have been encountered by this kid.

Tong Sanniang was puzzled: "That knife?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said: "It should be, I have only heard some of the Gu Su Yun clan, because I didn't see the origin of the knife before, but I can't figure it out, this kid not only entered the Tianji Pavilion, but also got involved with the Gu Su Yun clan, what has he done in the past two years?"

For what Wu Yuan said, Tong Sanniang, who had never walked out of Panyang Town, naturally didn't know, so she didn't say anything more, as long as the man's child was fine, she was relieved.

What Haotian Sect, what Qichao Mountain, what Tianji Pavilion, what Gusu City, what does it have to do with her, a woman who guards the immortals and does business?

In the City Lord's Mansion, the woman looked a little anxious, so she looked restless.

Finally, eight white-clothed Qi Chaoshan masters walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

Before the eight of them could speak, the woman got up and said, "Senior Brother Wang, what is the reason?"

The fat man known as Senior Brother Wang looked at this former Senior Sister Yu and frowned slightly, "Senior Sister Yu really doesn't know?"

The woman felt a little puzzled, shook her head and asked, "What do you know?"

The man with the sword on his back smiled and said: "Senior Sister Yu has been away from Qichaoshan for many years, and it is normal not to know some things, but this young man, we really can't kill, or dare not kill." ”

The woman frowned and said, "Why?"

The fat man said coldly: "If Senior Sister Yu really doesn't know, then that's fine, but if you knowingly commit a crime, don't blame me for not thinking about the teacher's affection, 'Northwest Tianji Pavilion, coming and going to the immortals, Southeast Gusu City, Yunshen doesn't know where to go', this sentence, Senior Sister Yu can't have heard it, right?"

The woman's brows furrowed even deeper, but she still nodded and said, "In the past, when I was practicing in Qichao Mountain, I heard from Master and his old man. These two forces are the two most mysterious and unprovoked forces in the empire. ”

The fat man asked again: "Then this young man is involved with the Gu Suyun clan, why didn't Senior Sister Yu say it before, is it to wait for us to kill this young man, and then let Qi Chaoshan accompany the burial?"

The woman looked shocked, and even sweated profusely, and hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother Wang, this is really wronged the little sister, the little sister only knows that this kid has become the killer of Tianji Pavilion for some reason, but I really don't know that he is still involved in Gusu City." ”

The fat man jumped up and said loudly: "What, this kid is still the killer of Tianji Pavilion?"

The woman said embarrassedly: "I just learned about this news, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you senior brothers go through this experience, although the little sister has been away from Qi Chaoshan for many years, but Qi Chaoshan has been helping to take care of it for so many years, how could I do such a thing of revenge?"

The man with the sword on his back smiled and made a round, "Since Senior Sister Yu didn't know in advance, that is, those who don't know are not guilty, let's go back to Chaoshan and tell the situation to Master and his old man, since he didn't make an irreparable mistake, he won't blame Senior Sister if he wants to come to Master's old man's house." ”

With that, the eight of them said goodbye at the same time.

The woman still wanted to stay, but the eight insisted on leaving, and the woman had no choice but to give up and send the eight out of the city lord's mansion.
