Chapter 1 The Wind Rises
This city, called Dragon City, is the first city in the Kyushu mainland, and the Dragon Emperor, the lord of Kyushu, lives in this city.
The city is full of flowers, and Qionglou Yuyu is not lively. But at this time, in the mountains and dense forests outside the city, in a cottage halfway up the mountainside, a group of black-clothed people were busy. Some wiped long knives, some honed bows and arrows, and did not answer each other, and the occasional footsteps and the clashing of weapons could not break the tense atmosphere, and the little cold light on the broadsword made people shudder.
The black-clothed man led by him gently walked into the cottage lobby, and a man sat on the tiger skin seat in the lobby, holding a folding fan in his left hand and his head in his right, with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake.
The man in black stepped forward, his head bowed as if waiting for the man to wake up.
"How's the preparation?" the man asked with a blank face.
The man in black immediately knelt down and hurriedly replied, "Everything is ready, just wait for the owner of the village to speak, but..."
"Huh?"
"Are we really going to be enemies of the Lin Gang?
"The Lin Gang has bullied me for many years, today is the day of revenge, tell the brothers, as long as it is past tonight, I will go to Dragon City tomorrow to enjoy happiness, success or failure in one fell swoop" The man in white opened his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce gaze.
"Yes," the man in black didn't dare to look at it, lowered his head and retreated.
On the other side, on a hill outside the Dragon City, the sunlight shines through the branches of the trees on the bluestone, and the occasional sound of green and the fragrance of the mountains and fields forms a quiet and comfortable painting.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Chu Feng yawned, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at the sun, "It's almost noon, it's time to go back" After speaking, he jumped down from the bluestone, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the mountain with the medicine basket on his back.
After a while, Chu Feng ran to the top of the mountain, but this top of the mountain is a small temple, and the words heaven and earth are offered in the temple. Seeing that the temple door was hidden, I thought to myself, "I'm afraid that the master is back" Just thinking that someone suddenly slapped him in the back, Chu Fengtou didn't reply and said, "Old man, when did you come back?"
"Hahahaha, not long after I came back, I walked around, went in and said, "This person who spoke is Chu Feng's master."
But it is said that this Chu Feng's master is known as Xuan Qingzi, a fairy wind and bones, an ethereal temperament, skin like white jade, and a childish face. There is neither dust nor wooden sword beside him, and only a Taoist robe and his body appear to be profound.
Before the two of them entered the hall, the master could speak, and Chu Feng asked, "Don't you know until you come back after the money is spent?"
"There, there, for the teacher, this is missing the apprentice, so I came back to see it," Xuan Qingzi said.
"Pull it down, every time someone comes to look for immortals and asks, the incense money left behind has been taken away by you, okay, say, why did you take the money?" Chu Feng looked disdainful.
As soon as Xuan Qingzi heard that Chu Feng was questioning himself, he immediately became serious, and said to Chu Feng, "Of course I went to find an immortal and asked."
"Then why do you have a strange smell on you? Rouge, right?"
"This day is yang, the moon is yin, yin and yang are inhaled, and all things are born when they are sucked, and being a teacher is also for penance" Xuan Qingzi patted Chu Feng's shoulder, saying as if it was true.
"Oh, and how much does it cost you to suck once?"
"Two hundred taels"
Chu Feng turned his head and no longer looked at Xuan Qingzi, Xuan Qingzi slowly took a sip of tea, and then turned to Chu Feng and said, "How is Feng'er's cultivation recently?"
Chu Feng replied: "You go out to wave every day, and you haven't taught me anything, except for a little fist and foot kung fu, and now you are in the early stage of qi training."
"Feng'er, this matter is also a long time for the teacher, this cultivation is very difficult and difficult, and what the teacher teaches you is the foundation of cultivating the truth and becoming an immortal. As a teacher, I know that you have also studied hard all these years, and it is useless for you to stay in the mountains all day long, so it is better to go to all parts of Kyushu to find the way to cultivate and become immortals."
"No, I'm going to be beaten to death before I get down the mountain," Chu Feng said angrily.
"Feng'er, you have to be seventeen this year, do you know, of course your parents went out to explore the rivers and lakes at about this age" Xuan Qingzi's words were not salty or light, but Chu Feng didn't feel good in his heart.
For so long, the master has never mentioned his parents, every time he asks, he doesn't say, today suddenly mentioned this, using his parents' affairs to pressure himself, is not to drive himself away, but where can he go if he leaves.
"Do you know where my parents are?" Chu Feng asked urgently.
"I don't know, it's just old acquaintances, of course they haven't seen you since they entrusted you to me, it's not clear whether it's dead or alive" When he said this, Xuan Qingzi stared at Chu Feng, and a trace of sadness in Chu Feng's eyes was also seen by Xuan Qingzi,
He knew that this kid rarely cared about him, and kept him on the mountain, alone, although sometimes when he came back, there were many fewer words between master and apprentice, and Xuan Qingzi would never be able to say this kind of thing when he drove him away, but it would not work if he didn't say it. Forget it, let's take a break.
"Feng'er, today is the Shangyuan Festival, how about taking you down the mountain for the teacher?"
"Good"...
In the evening, the master and apprentice went down the mountain together. When he arrived in Dragon City, Chu Feng was sent away by the master, and Chu Feng knew that the master must have gone to find the girl. Chu Feng walked aimlessly alone, and after a while, he walked outside the city gate.
"The lights in this city are bright and the night is singing, but the outside of the city is dark and quiet" Chu Feng shivered, feeling a hint of coolness, and was about to go back,
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed and accidentally bumped into Chu Feng, the man walked quickly and quickly, as if he didn't take others seriously, and went to the dark place outside the city, but accidentally dropped a small thing on his body on the ground. Chu Feng picked it up, and was about to say, "Brother Tai, you thing..."
Before the words could be spoken, Chu Feng swallowed, because the man walked quickly, and a cold light flashed out of the corner of Chu Feng's eyes under the night robe that was slightly lifted by the wind, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Chu Feng picked up the thing that fell on the ground, it seemed to be a kind of dart, but he had never touched this kind of thing, and he didn't know what it meant.
Looking up at the sky, there were no clouds or stars, and there was a silver moon hanging in the sky, and a chill came to my heart. Chu Feng took the unknown dart in his hand and thought for a while, "Could it be that something big is going to happen?"
I have spent most of my time in the mountains for so many years, and the first time I encountered this kind of incident, although there was a trace of panic in my heart, I was more curious.
Although Chu Feng's cultivation over the years is average, he is still very confident in his fists and feet, and his master has been training his body and mind methods since he can remember. "If it's a big deal, run away, train in the mountains every day, once you have something to run, you can't run" Chu Feng comforted himself in his heart.
Curiosity suppressed fear and walked briskly forward. Originally, I thought that I would follow from a distance, but after walking for a while, I didn't even look at the shadow of the man in black, and unconsciously chased to a place I didn't know, there was no official road in this place, and I couldn't see the road ahead in the dark, so I could only grope forward.
When I turned around, I couldn't see Dragon City, and I could only see a little light from afar. "It seems that the ability of this man in black is by no means below him, at least not lightly, it's already so far, let's go back" Chu Feng muttered in his heart. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a courtyard in front of him, which was brightly lit and many people were bustling in the courtyard.
Chu Feng stuck it up, walked to the main room, stepped hard, and went to the roof with three glares and two glares, he didn't dare to show his head on the roof, he could only listen to the noise of the people in the courtyard, it seemed that he was having some kind of party. Chu Feng himself wasn't sure if these people were related to the man in black just now, but what was certain was that these people seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.
It is said that there are no pines, willows and no homes around the courtyard, which is extremely inconspicuous, and from the outside it will only make people feel that it is a deserted courtyard.
There is no decoration in the courtyard, and the bricks and tiles on the house have become miserable over the years, but the doors and windows are brand new, as if someone has recently cleaned them. Due north is a table, east and west are in a row, the delicacies on the table are gathered, there is more wine in hand, everyone talks about wine, but there is a table in the north and the first table in the west row is unmanned.
When it was lively, there was a person outside the door who suddenly shouted, "Song Gang Leader arrives" Chu Feng poked his head out to look at the courtyard after hearing it, only to see that everyone put down their wine glasses after hearing this, and stood up together, and in unison to "Welcome Song Gang Master" The words just fell, only to see a person coming in from outside the door, this person's eyes are like copper bells and noses like cows, and he can hear his breathing when he stands on both sides.
It is said that not long after everyone sat down, the courtyard was as quiet as a cicada, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward. After Song Lin looked at it, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a little brother outside the door shouting, "Pei Shaoyong, the leader of the Yishan Gang, has arrived" Everyone quickly got up and raised their glasses when they heard it.
Chu Feng saw it clearly from the rooftop, but he was confused in his heart, thinking, "Who is this Pei Shaoyong, that Song Lin just now looks like a leader, but everyone seems to be respectful to Pei Shaoyong, can it be that there are two heads?"
As soon as everyone got up, they saw a son come in from outside the door, this person looked like a white-faced scholar wearing a brocade robe and a folding fan, with a sachet on his waist, walking like a dragon walking and walking in a tiger's step, walking unhurriedly to the courtyard, after saluting Song Lin with both hands, everyone raised their glasses and said, "I have seen Pei Gongzi" Pei Shaoyong also made a gesture, and then sat down to the first place under Song Lin
After everyone sat down, Pei Shaoyong got up to the center and said to everyone, "Everyone, and listen to me, although we are in the grass, we also know how to steal and have a way, and burning, killing and looting is not a long-term solution, the husband is famous, Pei is not talented, and he has a good way to make money and have no worries about his life, you are all Pei someone's elders, you can listen to it, if you can't hear it, you can't hear it"
"Pei Gongzi may as well speak bluntly if he has something to say, and I will listen to you."
"Okay, then I'll make it clear, the government has sent people to my Pei someone's mountain."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the bottom, and everyone talked about it. Pei Shaoyong smiled slightly after hearing this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and then said, "Everyone, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it, the government allows me a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand horses of silk, and a county of land to make me a minister. ”
"What kind of gift does this government want?" A small leader asked below, obviously Pei Shaoyong didn't say much, but he hit the point, this is when the robbers and bandits are licking blood at the tip of a knife, maybe they will be killed one day, not to mention, there are no eggs under the nest?
"Hmph, you have to ask Gang Leader Song about this" Pei Shaoyong sneered and walked away, he calculated that he didn't have to do anything at all, and the other little leaders would tear up the pine forest.
Everyone also understands that this is Song Lin's head.
