The sword light is like thunder, cutting through the rivers and tearing the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The hideous fish, the size of a small boat, was gently touched and torn apart as if it were paper paste.
As the blood rained down, the entire river suddenly fell silent.
It was so quiet that it could be heard when the needle dropped, and only the sound of the river surging eastward was "rattling".
Whether it was the villagers or the water bandits, they all stared wide-eyed, looking at Xiao Yu standing on the river, opening their mouths wide, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief.
In the end, it was the baby in Xiao Yu's arms who cried loudly to break the silence.
The woman who had fainted instinctively woke up, and when she saw that the child in Xiao Yu's arms was safe and sound, she suddenly burst into tears and exclaimed: "My child! ā
"Kid, I'll pay you back." Xiao Yu smiled, and turned his head to look at the group of water bandits who had not yet come back to their senses, "You still haven't come to help?" ā
The hull of the boat had been torn apart, and the murky river was rushing through the cracks, and it looked like it was about to sink.
Now the river surface is full of broken railings, barrels, stools, Xiao Yu even saw a dressing mirror facing up, as well as an ancient Chinese mahogany screen broken in half, etc., the most speechless is a few little piglets with black and white fur, also mixed in the drifting debris, humming and chirping and arching their noses, while swimming comfortably past Xiao Yu.
Zhou Daring shuddered, came back to his senses, and his voice stammered, "Come, come!" ā
As he spoke, he kicked on the ass of a man next to him, "Go and sail the boat, if you neglect Engong, Lao Tzu wants you to look good!" ā
After a group of water thieves fell into the water and rescued the Mingwa boat, the woman holding the child knelt down and cried with joy:
"Thank you for saving your life!"
The rest of the people also bowed down one after another, "Thank you so much!" ā
The shouts of so many people converged together, and even those water bandits were weak under their feet, and they couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship together, and their eyes were not the contempt they had before, but respectful and awe-inspiring.
After all, in this world, in the final analysis, strength is respected.
Thinking of Xiao Yu's ghost and god methods that he had just shown, killing the river demon in a lightning flash, and then thinking that he actually wanted to kill the other party and throw it into the river to feed the fish, these water bandits were in a cold sweat on their backs, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"Get up." Xiao Yu stood with his hands in his hands, his voice majestic.
These people were taken by his momentum, and they stood up one by one very honestly, and one by one subconsciously stopped crying.
After Xiao Yu inquired, he learned that the giant fish just now was called the "River Demon".
As the saying goes, there must be strange things when there are many mountains, and if there is more water, there will also be very evil things.
Eight points of Nanzhao are water, it can be said that there is water everywhere, but the population is quite sparse, so there are many spirits in various places.
For example, the kind of strange fish that was killed by Xiao Yu just now, has lived for hundreds of years, and is as big as a boat, and if it turns its back in the river, it can set off a layer of big waves, and it can easily destroy people's boats and devour pedestrians.
This kind of giant fish is already a kind of spirit, which is difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but whenever it is encountered, most of them are the end of the boat being destroyed and people dying.
"Our fishing ancestors, many of them died in the mouth of the river demon, so I hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to step forward......"
When Zhou boldly spoke, his words were much more respectful, and his expression was quite restrained, the fear of mysterious power was human nature, Xiao Yu had already been used to it, so after asking the reason, he waved his hand to let him go down.
Then the road was safe, and then there was nothing to say on the journey, and when it was close to evening, I arrived at the destination of the trip, the king of Nanzhao.
Although it is the royal capital, it is not grandiose, compared to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the world, it is far inferior, in Xiao Yu's opinion, at best, it is a larger county seat.
However, outside the city, it is quite lively and prosperous, and the docks are full of pleasure boats, and people come and go, and the river is endless.
Before entering the city, I saw the crowd inside bustling in and out, it was a market in half a month, the Miao people within a radius of 100 miles came to catch up with the market, setting off a lively and prosperous scene, and the backlight of the city wall was full of moss, and the cracks in the cracks grew out of the small trees that were more than a foot long, so it can be seen that the peaceful time here has been decades long.
Especially the Miao people walking on the street, all wearing gorgeous Miao costumes, a little walking, they will wear a ring, quite pleasant to the ear, strong exotic customs, rushing to the face.
After a cadre of people entered the city, those villagers went to the market without mentioning it, but Zhou Daring beckoned Xiao Yu to go to the restaurant to sit down.
"That's fine." Xiao Yu groaned slightly, then nodded and agreed.
As a road idiot, what he is most afraid of is wandering around in such an unfamiliar environment, and there is a local snake by his side, which will undoubtedly be much more convenient.
A few people came to the restaurant and sat down for the time being, Nanzhao's food had a unique flavor, and Xiao Yu was also feasting.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Daring went downstairs to settle the bill, and only came up again after a while, but when he came up, there were a few more footsteps behind him.
"Huh? These people are ......"
Xiao Yu drank tea lightly, his face was calm, and he looked at the people behind him.
There were no more than seven of them, but they were all dressed in black, with swords tied around their waists, their temples bulging high, and there was an aura of murder and ferocity emanating from these people, obviously highly trained.
These people walked up in silence, like a piece of ice, exuding a cold air outward, and even the surrounding air was pulled down several degrees, and the people around them unconsciously got out of the way, holding their breath, not daring to have the slightest collision, obviously with a very high status, or a prestige.
The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a moon-white robe, with three strands of long hair fluttering under his chin, quite a bit of scholarly spirit, and the peculiar thing is that these people all have a flame mark on their eyebrows.
Xiao Yu was familiar with this mark, so he had seen it with his own eyes.
It is the identity of the Lunatic cultists.
It is said that the flame is made of the juice of impatiens grass as raw materials, mixed with cinnabar, animal blood, ginseng, and turmeric, and is made by special means, which is a symbol of glory, and will only be given to high-ranking members of the Lunatic Cult, which is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, and also has the effect of removing insects and avoiding miasma.
No wonder the people in the restaurant avoided it, but the Lunatic Cult was much more powerful than the local guards.
"Lunatic Cult?" Xiao Yu didn't move, waiting to see what happened.
This trip to Nanzhao, Xiao Yu didn't think about making a big deal or anything, if it was unnecessary, he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, after all, the situation in the royal capital seems to be calm now, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, like a powder keg, maybe every little thing can become the fuse, and a bloody battle will be detonated.
It's just that he didn't expect that these Lunatic Cultists would come over so quickly.
Xiao Yu was naturally not afraid at all, but he didn't want to cause trouble, but if trouble came to the door by himself, he didn't mind letting these Lunatic Cultists know what fear was.
Thinking like this in his heart, Xiao Yu's muscles tensed slightly, ready to make a move at any time.
Who knew that the first sentence of the middle-aged gentleman made Xiao Yu almost squirt out the tea in his mouth.
"Eun Gong! Su has finally found you! ā
Damn, this sentence sounds so familiar!
Xiao Yu's eyes turned, and fell on Zhou Daring, who was beaming and squeezing his eyebrows next to him, and his eyes couldn't help but droop.
I've only heard that brain damage is contagious, but is it true that Ecstasy Dafa is also contagious?
"Are you ......?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"In the lower Su Musha, the moon worship sect water line moon worship envoy, I have seen Engong." This person speaks slowly and logically, but in a few words, he sees that the ins and outs of the future are explained clearly.
It turned out that the old man who was holding the boat was actually the father of the person in front of him!
No wonder he was surrounded by a gang of bandits, the old man still didn't change his face, he was not afraid, and the backstage was thick and hard, bastard.
This is the so-called big hidden in the city, obviously has a high-ranking son, but in the end he wants to be an old boatman who supports the boat.
Isn't it good for you to live obediently in your old age, what kind of rivers and lakes do you come out to break into?
Su Musha saw Xiao Yu's doubts and explained with a smile:
"Su's ancestors have been ferrying for three generations, and when they came to me, they were lucky to be appreciated by the sect leader and followed left and right, but my father didn't want to leave the old folks in the village, so he still supported the boat for a living."
"This time I came to catch the market, I actually encountered a river demon on the way, if it wasn't for the little brother to save my father and fellow villagers, Su would have been very resentful."
As he spoke, he clasped his fists and gave a long salute, and said:
"Thank you, little brother, for coming to the rescue!"
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to help him up, "There is no need to make this big gift......
Su Musha insisted on bowing down and said seriously:
"If you don't repay your kindness, how is it different from a beast?"
Xiao Yu gave up.
After saluting, Su Musha smiled and said:
"I heard that Gongzi is strong in martial arts, if he doesn't give up, you might as well join my Lunatic Sect, how about it?"
What?
Join the Lunatic Cult?
The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.
I'm back to the fairy sword this time, and the main enemy is the Lunatic Cult, and when the time comes, the swords will face each other, and I won't be able to do it myself.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was silent, Su Musha said again:
"This time, someone spread rumors, attracting countless Tang Dynasty warriors to gather in my Nanzhao, so that the people are not happy, the son is well aware of the righteousness, has the world in his heart, and has a benevolent heart, how can he sit idly by?"
Xiao Yu's face was flushed, and a touch of guilt appeared on his face, as if he had been aroused by blood, and said ashamedly:
"I just came out of the deep mountains to practice martial arts, but I didn't know that someone was going to mess with my Nanzhao, now that I know, I naturally can't sit idly by!"
He was filled with righteous indignation, his face turned red, as if he was going to pat the gan all over and drink the blood of the Huns: "It's just that I have been practicing in the mountains all these years, and my identity is ......."
"At this time, the little brother doesn't need to worry, Su Mou still has some means to exercise the moon worship water." There was a hint of pride in Su Musha's voice.
āā¦ā¦ā
Yes, it's strong.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, what is the inside of the Lunatic Cult, Xiao Yu is also quite curious, after all, this organization is quite exclusive, and its members are often dead, and now that he has such a good opportunity, Xiao Yu naturally wants to see what the means of the Lunatic Cult are.
After agreeing to join the Lunatic Cult, Su Musha took Xiao Yu to the stronghold and changed into clothes, but the imaginary brainwashing scene did not appear, because ...... (To be continued.) )
