Chapter IV: Conflict

Strange light and color, like a dream.

Xiao Zhuyu sat in front of the mind and poured his true qi into it. In an instant, the scenery changed, and the square inch started. The stone platform emits a misty light mist, soft like water, and swings around the center of the stone platform in a circle.

Bu Zheng felt like he was in the middle of the water waves, and when the brilliance in his eyes dissipated, he looked at it again, and the world had already changed in front of him.

Rugged and steep cliffs, bottomless. Just one glance makes people's hearts beat violently and make them dizzy. The ropes of the suspension bridge on the cliff were old, and the planks opened thin cracks like old bark, creaking in the wind, and no one could guarantee that it would not break the next moment. The two brothers, named Wang San and Wang Wu, held swords in one hand and looked at the approaching beast in front of them with horror on their faces. The vertical pupils of the beast shot out a cold gaze from death, and the sharp teeth of the forest were cold, as if they could bite their bones with just one bite, and there was a low roar in their throats, and the heavy snort almost sprayed on the faces of the two of them, but they could not feel a trace of temperature, only the coldness that penetrated the bone marrow.

Xiao Zhuyu's consciousness had already turned into one of the two on the edge of the cliff, and his name was Wang San at this time.

Bu Zheng and the others stood on the other side of the cliff as bystanders, watching the development of the situation on the field, and there were many discussions.

"This phantom array is really the same as the real thing! This suspension bridge seems to break when you step on it, and people dare not step on it. ”

"That's right, but there are mountains on both sides behind the beast, and the only way in the middle is blocked by the beast, which means that the two brothers have only one way to escape from the drawbridge. ”

"Hmph! A group of rats, why do you need to escape, kill this beast, and you will naturally survive. A discordant voice drew the rolls of everyone's eyes, just when everyone was discussing hotly.

Wang San, who was incarnated by Xiao Zhuyu, took the lead in attacking the fierce beast, followed by Wang Wu. At this time, Bu Zheng was surprised to find that the two brothers were mortals without a trace of true qi in the setting of the layout person.

This stop can be called tragic, Wang San and Wang Wu combined forces held on to less than a stick of incense under the attack of the beast storm before they were defeated due to exhaustion, and it was too late to escape along the suspension bridge. Wang San, who had nothing to do, was covered in blood, and he still roared and rushed towards the fierce beast. The fierce beast looked at him with contempt, turned around and swept Wang San away with a whip-like flick. Bu Zheng heard the clicking sound of broken bones, and sighed regretfully, but saw Wang San's face was hideous, his eyes were about to crack, his lower body was paralyzed on the ground, and his hands were still holding the tail of the fierce beast and yelling at Wang Wu: "Brother, run!"

The scene where the fierce beast turned around and bit Wang San, everyone couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Wang San and Wang Wu only survived in the end, and after the brilliance dissipated, Xiao Zhuyu opened his eyes and sighed, the failure made his face a little depressed.

The old man who had been sitting on the edge of the stone platform with his eyes closed and silent slowly opened his eyes at this time, and looked carefully at the young man in front of him who could sacrifice his life for his brother, his eyes showed a look of approval, and he boasted: "Emotional world, righteousness and clouds, great goodness." ”

Xiao Zhuyu thanked the old man for his praise and returned to the crowd.

The old man then said to everyone: "After Xiao Xiaoyou's attempt, everyone should understand that the game set up by this puzzle is to test talent, but to see a person's human heart. In a desperate situation, whether you are a dragon or a worm, you will appear. Which friend is willing to give it a try, Miss Chu is a person who is looking forward to breaking the game every day, how can she make the beauty wait. ”

Just as Bu Zheng was discussing the method of cracking it with everyone, the little monkey tugged at the corner of Bu Zheng's clothes, Bu Zheng looked at him suspiciously, and he pointed to the juggling crowd at the other end of the street. Obviously, he cares more about those interesting playthings and delicious pastries than the exam questions, and he is still a child after all. Bu Zheng gave him some money to play on his own.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several men in trapping costumes shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way, blocking the way of our head hunters, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts you down." As he spoke, a fat man slowed down before they kicked him to the ground and stepped on him.

The crowd hurriedly made way for them, and the noisy street was suddenly silent.

Bu Zheng had some anger in his eyes, and he was arrogant and rude as a catcher, treating the people as dogs and trampling on them. This person who can calm the street just by catching the first two words, let Bu Zheng have a bad feeling before he is masked.

Several trappers dispersed the crowd, and a man in black soft armor strode out. On his head, the crown that symbolizes the status of an official is straight, and his eyes are arrogant, ignoring all the people in front of him, as if everyone is inferior to him.

"What's the origin of this person?" Bu Zheng leaned over to Xiao Zhuyu and nodded to him as a greeting, and then asked:

"Hmph! Liu Du, the head catcher of Jinyang City, is in charge of criminal affairs, and he wears an official hat, so he feels superior to others, and treats the people as fish and meat, not a good bird. Xiao Zhuyu replied with a disdainful expression:

Liu Du walked straight to the old man, and said to the old man casually: "I heard that Miss Chu is guarding the boudoir empty, and she is very lonely to wait. I, Liu, am the most pitiful and cherish the jade, and I can't see the beauty waiting, so I come to comfort her. After speaking, Liu Duha laughed, and the trappers behind him also laughed.

The old man slowly closed his eyes, motionless as an old monk, and turned a deaf ear to Liu Du's words.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, the head catcher who was rampant in Jinyang City suppressed his laughter and waved his hand. Immediately, a catcher came out with a box, and when it was opened, a finest pearl that was round as jade and sparkled with color lay in it, emitting a soft halo in the light.

The onlookers were all amazed, which made Liu Du a little complacent, and he smiled: "A small gift is not a tribute." Quan should be a plaything for Miss Chu, and Miss Bo smiled. ”

The old man's eyes opened a slit, swept a glance at the glittering pearls, and closed them again. He waved his hand, and immediately a servant girl came over and took the pearl. "Lord Liu's kindness, the old lady Chu thanked me. ”

Liu Du was overjoyed, helped the official hat, and raised his feet to go to the Chunlu Pavilion, but an old and withered hand blocked his way.

I only heard the old man continue: "Lord Liu is willing to give it generously, and we are very grateful. However, if you want to see Miss Chu, you still have to break the square inch first, this is the rule. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly when they heard this, and now Liu Du was wronged. It was also one of their pleasures to see this wicked man with itchy teeth hated by the people of the whole city eat deflated.

Liu Du's face was ugly, and the catcher on the side said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people, since Miss Chu came, how many gifts have we adults given her." The finest jade, the best medicinal herbs, the precious silk ....... She still dares to think of herself as high, we adults are willing to patronize her to give her face, don't forget that she is just a bitch. ”

In a word, everyone was red-faced, red-eared, and bloody. You must know that Miss Chu, who is an Oiran, is a goddess-like existence in the minds of these people, and she is insulted at this moment, although she is angry. But in the face of Liu Du, whose name can be stopped, everyone can only dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Since the appearance of this head catcher, Bu Zheng has not had a good impression of him, and he is also a little angry at this time, and he can't help but speak: "If you say the words that deceive people too much, you really deceive people too much." After speaking, he pointed to the fat man with a blue nose and swollen face who had just been stepped on by the detainees.

The bully of Jinyang City, you are afraid, but I am not afraid of Taixuanmen.

Liu Du squinted at this young man who dared to offend him, and couldn't help but feel funny, since the man in the family he didn't like was killed and the woman was humiliated, no one dared to provoke him for a long time.

He stopped a catcher who wanted to do something to Bu Zheng and said, "It's a little timid, you dare to report your name." ”

Bu Zheng strode out in the reverent eyes of the people around him, "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, you will step Zheng in the next Taixuanmen." ”

The crowd was in an uproar, Taixuanmen was famous, and the disciples of the sect behaved decently, and there were still many people who understood and praised it.

Liu Du's face was slightly gloomy, he was not frightened by the name of Taixuanmen, but these self-proclaimed righteous people did things that disgusted him the most.

"Do you have an opinion about Lord Ben?, so what do you want to do?" Liu Du's eyes were not good.

Bu Zheng's face was fearless, "It's nothing, this road is uneven, everyone is stepping on it, and Bu wants to say a few words when he sees the injustice." Since the Oiran girl has made a rule, the game-breaker can only receive her, so why should Your Excellency force it. The words are insulting, and the magnanimity is even more narrow. Or is it that Your Excellency simply does not have the ability to break this situation? ”

Liu Du sneered and said, "Hmph! The little miscellaneous pieces who haven't grown all the hair dare to take care of Lord Ben's affairs." I won't break this bureau today, and I'm not going to break it today, and I'm on the Oiran's bed. If you dare to say more, be careful that you can't get out of this Jinyang City. "Liu Du also has his confidence, this is Jinyang City, his own territory, more than 200 miles away from his Taixuanmen, why be afraid of him.

What's more, Jinyang City is the orthodox ruler of this land for thousands of miles.

Looking at Liu Du's angry face, Bu Zheng sneered at each other: "Whatever the head catcher wants to do, naturally no one dares to stop him." It's just that what I saw and heard today made me feel like I had pressed a big stone in my heart, and I would definitely talk about it with my fellow disciples when I returned to the sect. There are many disciples of Taixuanmen, all over the place, and presumably by that time the whole world will know what the adults have done. ”

Xiao Zhuyu's eyes lit up on the side, and he answered with a smile: "In Xia Xiaoshan, Xiao Zhuyu also knows a lot about the brilliant deeds of Lord Liu, and after he goes back, he compiled it into a book and sings it widely in the teahouse restaurant. At that time, it is inevitable that some chivalrous warriors who like to fight unevenly will come to visit, and Lord Liu will have to bother more!"

The onlookers gasped, this trick was simply amazing. If Liu Du's evil deeds really spread, there are never many rangers who love chivalry and righteousness in the rivers and lakes, coupled with the pressure of major sects, and when public opinion boils, it may be difficult for Jin Yangcheng to protect him.

For the first time, Liu Du felt that he was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't wait to chop the two boys in front of him into meat sauce immediately, but he was afraid of the power of Taixuanmen and Xiaoshan, and he didn't dare to make a move easily, and his face was flushed with anger.

A man in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that he looked ridiculous. Liu Du seemed to have found the object of his outpouring of energy, and quickly slammed his endless anger on the person with a swift palm. The man was knocked out and hit the wall on the corner of the street.

"You ......" Before Bu Zheng could speak, he saw Liu Du looking at him resentfully and said, "Kid dare to make a bet with Lord Ben." ”

"How to bet?"

"If you break this situation, you will be at your disposal. If this lord breaks this situation, you can let me deal with it. Don't you look down on what Lord Ben does? As long as you win me, I will be at your disposal from now on, and I will never go west if you let me go east. But if you lose, you have to be at my disposal, and you can't let Taixuanmen stand out for you. ”

Bu Zheng glanced at the unconscious man who had been beaten, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out from under him. This is being affected by himself, Bu Zheng gritted his teeth in annoyance, met Liu Du's cold gaze, and spit out two words fiercely.

"Bet!"
