Chapter 66: The Night Raven
The crow represents death, and it has not been an auspicious bird since ancient times, and it is not known whether it is the god of death or the spirit of warning.
They march in the dark, turning into the spirits of the night. Every time I land, a flower of life withers.
Yama hooked his soul in the fifteenth night, and he traveled impermanently to ask for his life.
On June 25, a few unfamiliar guests came down from Sifeng Restaurant, which was a ringing horse from other places, and it happened that there was a black crow on a crooked-necked old tree in front of Sifeng Restaurant.
It purred and rolled its eyes and made ominous sounds, and a few ringing horses heard it noisy, and picked up the stone and struck it, and the crow fluttered away.
A few people fled here from other places with a look of trepidation, but they were all fierce, and it was not surprising that they were carrying several lives on their backs.
They wore thin vests, samurai belts tied around their heads, and their voices were accented with thick accents.
After rushing into the restaurant, there was a burst of random knocking, "Loading cabinets, quickly take out the valuable things, hurry up, otherwise the labor and management will be angry and which of you will escape?"
A three-headed snake head shouted.
Sifeng Restaurant is one of the major industries of the Chu family, and there have always been monks with good physical skills guarding here, and now they hear the movement in the room.
Suddenly, five strong generals came out, all of whom were the strength of the Spirit Wheel Realm, and immediately fought with these four people.
However, these four ringing horses are all really good players, and they all have the strength of the Spirit Wheel realm, and their shots can be described as fierce, and their moves will take people's lives.
One person took out a snake sword with a strange style, the sword body was like a twisted poisonous snake, and seven swords had been stabbed out in an instant, and the sword move was weird, and the wrist of the Chu family monk was cut off in an instant.
The head of the horse raised his fist and threw a straight punch, which was already imprinted on the opponent's chest.
In less than a few seconds, several good players of the Chu family had already fallen to the ground.
The diners on the first floor were all hiding in the corners, not wanting to touch the moldy heads of these people.
Several people became more and more rampant, and the panic in their eyes had faded. "Hahaha, don't mess with Lao Tzu, if there is anything valuable, get it quickly. ”
Upstairs, at the wine table, the four of them had already put on grimace masks.
——————
A gust of wind blew through the window, and in this hot summer day, the breeze that should have been refreshing made the four of them feel cold to the bone.
The pupils of several people had tightened, and the expressions that had been laughing wildly had frozen on their faces.
Because they saw that four grimace-masked figures had slowly stepped out of the staircase.
They slowly peeked out of the shadows, only to suddenly the entire first floor had become autumn and winter.
It's really like Yama traveling, just for a second, it's already murderous.
The four horses only felt the chill spread from the soles of their feet to their whole bodies. It's too late to get out.
A black-robed figure seemed to be walking very slowly, but with one step, it had already come to the front.
The grimace mask grew more terrifying, "Go, or die?"
As if the ice of the extreme north exploded around, the voice was cold, without the slightest emotion, revealing a sharp murderous aura. This sound alone is enough to make many people feel unscathed.
They never even doubted that the grimace man standing in front of them really had the strength to take their lives for a moment.
However, several people had been affected by the murderous aura, and after a while, they wanted to pull out their legs and run away, but their legs were as heavy as lead, and they were numb for a while.
Perhaps there was no need for an answer at all, because the grimace had already left their names in the book of life and death when they said this.
The black-robed man stepped aside slightly, but instantly returned to his place, as if he hadn't moved the whole time.
Maybe it's dazzled, maybe not.
At this time, the black-robed man had an extra spirit snake sword with a strange style in his hand, and the hand of the ringing horse was already empty.
The other three figures with blue-faced fanged horror masks didn't move the whole time, just watched from the sidelines, because they felt that with their big brother there, it wasn't their turn to make a move.
The shivering diners in the corner of the wall only felt a white light flash in the air, and once again the wind blew, and the four figures had disappeared into the wind.
The brilliance in the eyes of the four figures gradually dissipated, and a blood line rushed out of their necks. In the next second, they had fallen one after another.
They were lucky, to die under such a sharp sword, and unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and most importantly they met the wrong person.
。。。。。。。
Four more figures suddenly appeared on the sword house in the mountain behind the Chu family, and Chu Lan and the others took off their masks one after another, and they all saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
Chu Xuan opened his mouth and said, "I really can't see how the eldest brother killed four people at the same time with one sword."
Chu Lan smiled, "I won't tell you"
The four of them were lying on top of the sword house, looking at the starry sky, reflected in their eyes, and their black and white eyeballs seemed to have turned into a vast ocean, and they wanted to put all the stars in it.
"Big brother, there are too few people in Silvermoon City who dare to do extraordinary things, and I'm afraid that the Night Raven will gradually lose his job!"
"It's better to be unemployed, and if you're unemployed, it means that the world is peaceful"
Chu Teng: "But there are rats everywhere in the sewers, we have to go out and let the sun shine on the whole continent." ”
Chu Feng said, "How many of us brothers, where can we get rid of so many cockroaches and mice?"
Chu Lan's eyes were shining, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"The Raven of the Night, in the future, will become a killer organization in the whole continent, others can offer a reward to hire us to kill, but only kill the wicked, the good people will not move, and the bad people will not take a penny"
The three brothers nodded.
Chu Lan continued, "Third brother, you have always been resourceful, meticulous in your work, expanding the organization, and leaving the matter of establishing an intelligence network to you, slowly spreading outward from Silver Moon City, but don't be in a hurry, everyone who joins the Night Raven must be carefully selected, once someone with bad intentions joins in, the nature of our organization will change, remember, it is better to lack than to excess, and the arrangement of tasks must also be strictly controlled, and good people must not be killed by mistake."
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement, and Chu Feng asked with some dissatisfaction, "Big brother, you are partial, then what am I doing with the second brother?"
On summer nights, the heat has dissipated considerably, and when a breeze blows, you can hear the pine waves mingling with the sound of insects.
"You assist Chu Xuan, and you want to grow up quickly, I feel more and more that the world has changed, maybe for a long time, maybe soon, the change is coming!"
"I'm going to leave Silvermoon City the day after tomorrow, and I'll leave my home to you to take care of, but I must leave my little life for me, otherwise when I come back, who will I go to drink?"
The eyes of the three were a little dim, with reluctance
"Are you leaving?"
On the second day, in the morning glow, Chu Lan practiced swords in the sword furnace, his swordsmanship has reached the peak in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is still too far and too far for him, if he really faces everyone in swordsmanship, I am afraid it is not enough to see it.
He can now slowly master the use of murderous energy, and has become one of his hole cards, three days of playing chess and falling flowers, playing the layout, his soul has been cleared, no longer a murderous slave, a little less fierce and irritable, a little more transcendent.
His swordsmanship is also changing with the change of his heart, no longer the initial sharpness, sharp and ruthless, but more humble and gentle, mellow and long, and his sword has also undergone several changes.
There is a bit of natural charm between the dances, and it slowly seems to be in harmony with the Tao.
Chu Lan's change is like a shallow lake turning into a deep sea, the lake is shallow, the slightest rockfall becomes turbulent, the deep sea is majestic, no matter how gorgeous the opponent's sword moves are, he can only sink into the sea, and it is difficult to stir up huge waves.
Outside the sword house, there was already a person walking slowly, his waist was straight, his body was strong, and his blood was like a sea, where he looked like an eighty-year-old man.
When he saw the figure practicing his sword, he didn't come forward to disturb, but stood in the distance and watched silently.
Chu Zhenxiong, who has always been arrogant, is rarely so quiet, looking at Chu Lan's eyes full of doting and tenderness.
As soon as Chu Lan finished using a set of sword moves, an object shot at him in the air, it was a stone, which hit Chu Lan's waist directly, Chu Lan could have dodged, but he didn't want to dodge, and after a sword, it was a blow that crossed the eight directions.
The stone was not cut in half, and there was no sharp sword qi rushing out, but it was only pulled by the sword body, deviated from the track, and fell lightly to the ground.
Then came a neutral voice.
"Oh, Lan'er, if it was before, I'm afraid this stone would end up in pieces, hahaha"
When Chu Lan saw his grandfather coming, he saluted respectfully and called out to his grandfather sweetly.
Chu Zhenxiong smiled and waved his hand, handing him a codex, which was Zhao Cheng's handwriting
"Deadwood Sword Seal?" Chu Lan wondered
"I've cultivated this before, no, no, why are there so many changes?"
Chu Zhenxiong said, "In terms of fighting, your Uncle Zhao Cheng can't beat me, but in terms of swordsmanship, I'm afraid I can't beat him, but I didn't expect that his swordsmanship and sword intent have been closed for sixty years." You must have the strength of the Great Sword Master realm!"
Chu Lan carefully put away Steward Zhao's life's work, and he asked suspiciously
"What realm is the Great Sword Master, I have always been unclear about the division between the Dawn Realm and the way of the sword, can Grandpa tell me about it?"
Chu Zhenxiong pulled Chu Lan to sit down under the shade of the tree, and now that the sun had risen, the shadow of the tree was reflected on the two of them, and the scene was very harmonious.
"The division of the realm at present I know is the dawn of the six realms, which are, open to the fan, the spiritual heart, not confused, the void, the mysterious, and the gods.
I am now in the second small realm, above the dawn is the realm of cultivating the Yuan Shen power, and then there is the transformation of the gods, the dragon, the heavenly shock, the extraordinary, the cultivation to the extreme, beyond the scope of humanity, into the holy way, but the mystery of this, I don't understand, because in the Eastern Regions except for a few hundred years ago Ip Dao is infinitely close to the Holy Realm, no one is qualified to touch that realm. (Say the important thing three times, brothers, don't forget this level.) )
Chu Lan sighed, kept it in his heart, and once again felt his own insignificance, just the Dawn Realm was like a high mountain, and what kind of ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth should there be, Chu Lan had not seen it.
Chu Zhenxiong went on to say, "The sword path level is often accompanied by the improvement of cultivation, like the Dao Venerable, there are too few sword counterattack cultivation, roughly divided into, sword cultivation, sword master, great sword master, sword sect, sword honor, sword king, sword emperor, sword saint"
"Zhao Cheng's cultivation has reached the top of the Spirit Wheel, even if he has touched the threshold of the Great Sword Master, your current sword cultivation should also be in the ranks of the Sword Master, but this kind of thing cannot fully reflect a person's combat power, just a reference, your swordsmanship and sword intent are in the Great Sword Master realm, and when you enter the Dawn Realm with sufficient spiritual power, it is only a matter of course to enter the Great Sword Master realm. ”
Chu Lan thought of the pitch-black token in the Na Ring, and asked at that time, "What level is the Sword King at?"
Chu Zhenxiong would be wrong, thinking that Chu Lan was so ambitious, he spoke
"There are no more than three people in the entire Eastern Regions who can be called the Sword King, what do you say? Lan'er must remember that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, so you must not be too ambitious, the Sword King must at least have the strength above the gods. ”
Chu Lan was taken aback, didn't explain, and thought, "It turns out that Brother Qingfeng, is he hanging like this?"
Chu Zhenxiong opened his mouth and asked a very important question, "Lan'er, those old horsemen want you to inherit your father's position as the patriarch, what do you think?"
Chu Lan paused for a moment, shook his head and smiled
"My father is still so young, why do you want to say this, to be honest, I don't want to, and I'm not the kind of person who is willing to be restrained, but this is my home, and I will definitely do my best to protect the Chu family."
Chu Zhenxiong nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Lan then said, "Grandpa, I want to go out for a while, don't tell a few elders and uncles about this."
Chu Zhenxiong didn't agree or object, but there was a little loneliness in his eyes, Chu Lan only felt as if his grandfather seemed to be a lot older at this moment, he felt a little overwhelmed in his heart.
Chu Zhenxiong slowly exhaled, "Okay, it's good to go out, but Lan'er, this is your home, come back often when you are homesick"
An old man and a young man walked towards the bamboo forest, looking at the small mound in front of them, and they all showed sad expressions.
Buried beneath the small mound is a steward who once turned the tide.
The unknown wildflowers next to the mound were in full bloom, and a layer of petals had fallen on them, although they were not very solemn, but it showed that Chu Zhenxiong had put a lot of thought into it.
Chu Lan bent down and bowed again and again.
————————
On June 28, Chu Lan came out of the secret gate of the mountain behind him, leading a thin horse, from now on like a swimming fish, but what he entered was not a river in the ordinary sense, but a river and a lake!
The old man hiding in the shadows looked at Chu Lan's back, and silently said in his heart, "Lan'er, peace!"
Chu Daiyan looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, and muttered
"How can this shoal of Silvermoon City accommodate my dragon?"
