At this time, in April, late spring and early summer, the season of day equinox, the days in the deep mountains are always long and short, so the nights at the foot of the mountain will be particularly long and cold

The folk customs of the Dali Dynasty are open, there is no night ban, I heard that those prosperous majestic capitals are singing and dancing every night, lively and abnormal, caused by the wind of the upper class, even if it is a remote mountain town like Bocheng, the night market will still be placed very late

However, the night breeze in the mountains is too cold, especially in the second half of the night, except for those Qinglou restaurants with warm carbon fires, most of the street stalls have already been closed

So the sound of footsteps was very clear in the night, and Xu Zi'an was also very happy to hear it

After all, he is a fourteen-year-old boy, no matter how calm and calm his face is, how can he not be afraid of death in his heart

I haven't seen the prosperity of Kyoto, I haven't seen the mysterious scenery outside the world yet, and I haven't even really felt the naughty and hard-to-find true element of heaven and earth, so how can I have no regrets?

So when a fat figure stepped on the moonlight and blocked the moonlight to come to this courtyard, Xu Zi'an's tense body fell backwards directly into a coma because of the sudden relaxation

The cold spear stuck in the boy's chest then stood upward, like a pennant about to pierce the starry sky

............

"The moonlight is so good tonight, how inappropriate it is to fight and kill, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Zhu Xiaoyu, who was not wearing an official robe, but casually wearing a wide shirt, stepped on the threshold, saw Xu Zi'an who fell backwards, picked a plantain casually, the banana leaf swayed slightly, and flew behind Xu Zi'an in an instant, slowly putting Xu Zi'an into the ground, and even the dust on the ground did not alarm a single grain

"If you want to drink tea, it seems that you ......... It was in the wrong place."

The thin man named Sun Yintao squinted at the fat uninvited guest in front of him, and his tone was cold

Examined Xu Zi'an's breath, and found that the boy's breath was very weak, and it seemed that it would stop at any time, Zhu Xiaoyu frowned, and felt a light golden pill from his bosom with some pain, and flicked his finger, and the pill crossed the night sky and entered Xu Zi'an's mouth

This pill is called Golden Pulp Pill, although it is not as mysterious as a living dead with flesh and bones, but it is very effective in healing injuries and stopping bleeding, otherwise Zhu Xiaoyu would not be distressed

The pill melted into the mouth, turning into a golden streamer that seeped into the boy's body, nourishing the fleshy wounds on the boy's body

Seeing that the young man's injuries gradually calmed down with the help of the elixir, Zhu Xiaoyu's heart was slightly relieved, and he looked around the courtyard, pouting and looking a little pity

Unfortunately, of course, this elegant courtyard has been destroyed, and has nothing to do with the corpses on the ground

Seeing that Zhu Xiaoyu did not hesitate to use the Golden Marrow Pill to heal the young man's injuries, Sun Yintao also frowned and said coldly

"Since the lord is not here to really drink tea, shouldn't he leave? Although the lord of a city is the lord of a city, it seems that it is not in accordance with the law of Zhou to trespass on the private house."

After speaking, he bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed out the door, like the shopkeeper who welcomes guests in a cold teahouse, and like a little guy who sends guests out of the door in a lively tavern

But whether it is to welcome or send off guests, he needs to bend down, so his wide gray clothes swayed forward slightly, and the dark aura around him began to spread from the gray clothes, and gradually landed in the courtyard like frost

The yin qi descended on the grass between the cracks of a stone, and the grass instantly appeared strangely scorched black, as if it had been drained of all its vitality by a huge mosquito

The yin qi swept towards Xu Zi'an, covering Zhang Yiran's corpse, and the corpse instantly seemed to have been eaten by ten thousand bloodthirsty termites, leaving only some sticky carrion hanging on the gloomy skeleton, which looked extremely terrifying

Zhu Xiaoyu frowned, his eyes were cold, and he looked very displeased

He didn't like it because of the other party's corrupt aura, he had seen the yin qi filth and didn't know how much it was so rich, he just hated this kind of superficial trickery that was at most just outside the night, and he dared to show it in front of him

"I don't know who gave you the courage, this official still dared to do it when he came, thinking that this official is really a clean official with two clean sleeves?"

After speaking, Zhu Xiaoyu waved his sleeves impatiently, as if to drive away a fly that landed on his sleeve

Just as Zhu Xiaoyu waved his sleeves, an extremely chilling sword intent suddenly burst out, stabbing straight into the deepest part of the yin qi from between his cuffs

This is obviously a sword intent, but it bursts out with three different charms, as cold as the wind and snow on the snow-capped mountains that have not melted for thousands of years, as gentle as the newborn warm sun, and as hot and bright as the scorching sun

No one could have imagined that in Zhu Xiaoyu's fat body, there would be such exquisite swordsmanship, even those sword cultivators in the Sword Pavilion who had been practicing swords all year round might not be able to transform his sword into three forms with such a single sword

The gentle warm sun enveloped Xu Zi'an's body, indifferently and ruthlessly blocking all the rotten yin qi from the young man's body

The cold of the wind and snow instantly froze the darkness into countless fine Xiaoice particles visible to the naked eye, and those ice particles froze in the air, and then stood still, looking extremely dreamy

After the wind and snow, the scorching sun arrived, and the condensed ice particles were scorched by the high temperature under the scorching sun, and instantly evaporated into pieces of black mist

Sun Yintao's face was extremely gloomy, his hands trembled slightly in his sleeves, and he was instantly invaded by this chilling sword intent

"I didn't expect Master Zhu to be a sword cultivator"

Forcibly suppressing the shock that had penetrated his heart by the sword intent, his body became more slumped and approached the shadow beside him

Zhu Xiaoyu removed the sword intent between his eyebrows, smiled contemptuously, and walked with his hands back, but his body was too fat to hold his hands together behind him, so he had to bend behind him and said with a sneer

"There are a lot of things you can't think of"

After speaking, Zhu Xiaoyu took a step forward, and the sneering smile in his eyes became stronger

"For example, this official came tonight, and he really didn't come to drink tea."

"This official just saw that the moonlight was just right tonight, and he had no intention of sleeping, so he pinched his fingers on a whim and calculated that there would be a murder here tonight, so he came to see who was so bold and dared to commit murder within the jurisdiction of this official."

After speaking, Zhu Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly widened, and the powerful momentum of the lord of Bocheng instantly jumped between his eyebrows, and the hand that lightly touched the moonlight changed direction in the air, pointing at the gloomy man who seemed to be integrated with the darkness, and reprimanded loudly without anger

"Bold Diao Min, dare to be so rampant, sent into the jurisdiction of this official late at night, intending to assassinate a dynasty who is about to participate in the Yuexi Test, so bold, where do you put this official?

After saying it sharply, Zhu Xiaoyu suddenly grinned, looked at the other party's eyes with playful contempt, and Xu Zi'an, who fell to the ground with a fingertip, continued to laugh

"Of course, you can continue to try to kill this teenager, but this official reminds you"

After a slight pause, Zhu Xiaoyu smiled even more, as if he was afraid that the other party would not be able to hear the words clearly

"This official is not only a sword cultivator, but also a ......... who has left his name in the Sword Pavilion Very powerful sword cultivator"

...............

If Xu Zi'an was awake, he would definitely be amazed by Zhu Xiaoyu's cheekiness again, and he could calculate that there was a murder case with a finger count, where would the faces of those veterans who were good at divination and peeping into the sky go?

And such righteous words moved Zhou Lu and the saint out to suppress it, and the last sentence about the seemingly kind reminder, but in fact the threatening words, made this shameless fierceness play to the extreme

Anyone can be surprised by this scene, a young man covered in blood, there is a corpse on the ground, although the corpse was rotten by Fang Cai's gloomy breath, and the specific appearance of the corpse cannot be seen, but the knife that was cut into the corpse's eyebrows is obviously the young man's

But Zhu Xiaoyu still said it so reasonably, as if the truth of the matter should have been what he said

This official said that you intend to kill the person who went to the trial of my Dali Dynasty, then you are a treacherous person with evil intentions, you can say no, but the premise is

You're going to beat me......

Sun Yintao's eyes flickered, but he was helpless, he was not Zhu Xiaoyu's opponent, even if he couldn't beat him desperately, the other party's sword intent had the taste of the Sword Pavilion, but as far as he knew, there had never been such a name in the Sword Pavilion

"Don't guess, if you think of a genius like this official, it is natural to walk on the back mountain path, and it is normal that you haven't heard of it."

Zhu Xiaoyu looked at the other party and reminded him with a smile

After hearing the words Houshan Trail, the suspicion on Sun Yintao's face faded, and he seemed to have begun to believe Zhu Xiaoyu's words

There are trails in the mountains, there are trails in the forests, there are trails in the depths of the palace, there are trails in the gardens, there are trails everywhere, but there is only one place where the trail is different from the others

That's the trail behind the Sword Pavilion

That trail was rarely treaded, because in this world, whether it was the son of Kyoto's various academies, or the monks of the Thousand Mountains Sect, or the people of several wealthy families, there were very few people who were qualified to step on the path, and even fewer people could cross the trail and leave their names

The people who can leave their names are undoubtedly the most amazing and glamorous sons of the sky, and each of them is the most gorgeous pear blossoms that are not picked by the begonias in the world

Because he used to be worshiped in the mansion of a big man, he probably heard something about the trail in the back mountain, but when the fat man full of worldly atmosphere in front of him said it so calmly, he really didn't dare to speculate at will for a while how deep the other party's strength was and where it came from

Sun Yintao guessed that there were several other forces that had the strength to be involved in this matter, and tried unwillingly

"My lord is going to act according to the laws of Zhou, the corpse on the ground is my general who left the army, according to the law of Zhou, this young man should also be disposed of by our military department"

Zhu Xiaoyu glanced at the corpse on the ground that had corroded into a pile of rotten flesh, and casually picked up a floating grass next to the pool, not even bothering to say anything perfunctory

Seeing the other party's attitude, Sun Yintao hesitated for a moment, looked hateful, and took out an object wrapped in a brocade box from his arms

The object was faintly square, and wisps of purple light leaked from the cloth, which seemed to be a jade talisman

"Your Excellency should know the meaning of this jade talisman, and you should also know that this matter is not something that you, a city lord, can meddle in, if your adult still insists on stepping into this troubled water, is he really preparing to be our enemy."

Only then did Zhu Xiaoyu raise his head and said lazily

"An ordinary boy killed a military border general who passed through the Xuan Realm with a single knife, are you sure that someone will believe this kind of story?"

"And the jade talisman in your hand, to be honest, I really know it, but so what?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyu struggled to put away the fat on his stomach and bent down, picked up a floating grass on the water surface, used duckweed as a millimeter, and used water as juice and ink, and began to draw a pattern on the ground

The pattern is very complicated, the thickness of each line is exquisite, and the remaining sharp marks at the end are also of different shapes, just like the vague and mysterious runes in the hand of the talisman master, after a while, Zhu Xiaoyu put away the floating grass, and he could vaguely see an unusually hazy clear character after the water marks had not disappeared

Qing is the purity of the water mist, and it is also the cleanness of the bright moon, and it is the name of all the dark nights of time

Sun Yintao looked at the pattern that was gradually forming on the ground, his pupils gradually dilated, and he looked very shocked, as if that pattern had some kind of indescribable terrifying power

In fact, except for the real Xuanfu, all the patterns in this world cannot have power, but the people behind the patterns can

The jade talisman in his hand represents a person, and behind the pattern depicted by Zhu Xiaoyu, it represents the entire night of the Dali Dynasty

He suddenly remembered a person who had not appeared for a long time and had been forgotten by the people, but he had never forgotten, because that person had been the most unique presence in the night

That guy was also a fat man......
