Chapter 1 Pit Goods, Pond Fish, Clowns
"The moon is so round tonight!"
"Well, today is the night of the full moon, and the moonlight is very bright. ”
"Uh, the killer is watching you from five meters away, and you're still in the mood to enjoy the moonlight?"
"You said the full moon first, I just don't want you to be embarrassed. ”
“......”
This is the border of the country of light, in the name of the light to do the right and bright things, the country of light to rule the law of all everything to pay attention to evidence, so it is claimed to be the most just country among the ten countries.
Fanye forest, this is a sea of forests that cannot be seen, it is said that it is impossible to see the edge, but because the leaves of the fan-leaf tree are layered on top of each other, they are as wide as a paper fan, and they may not be much when you look closely, but when you look at them from a distance, you will be unable to see the edge because of the obstruction of the line of sight. But in fact, according to the boring person's own measurements, the fan leaf forest only stretches for three kilometers, and after crossing this forest sea, it is the border of the neighboring country. And in this moonlit and starry fanleaf forest, the long-term peace was broken by three people.
It was a large pit, a huge round pit five meters deep and two meters in diameter, and two teenagers sat in the pit. About sixteen or seventeen years of beautiful age, one is a scholarly shirt, the other is a burlap coat, a long-haired shawl, although his face is a little languished and tired, but the corners of his mouth still have a bad smile, and a short-haired and capable Although he is dressed in a rustic style, his eyes are as bright as stars.
The two teenagers sit together like two extremes in the world, and at first glance there is nothing in common, the contrast between wealth and poverty, the contrast between agility and quietness, and perhaps no one in this world can guess that they are related by other characteristics other than the same handsome face. And at this moment, their futures are tightly entangled together, facing the terrible black shadow standing on the edge of the pit together!
The night wind swept through the fan leaf forest, and the fan leaf opened to reveal the bright moonlight, and through the shaky faint light, they saw the true face of the black shadow together, and it was a clown!
It was as if two tall hats with wide tentacles were crookedly covering the top of the head, and the red and white blouse seemed to be made of inferior fabric, looking dirty but red like blood, and white seeping! The loose and slightly swollen red and white plaid pants felt awkward no matter how you looked at them, but the short swords on both hands made this awkwardness a little more dangerous.
Giggles!
The clown smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly with a cold light, his pale cheeks trembled, his bright and exaggerated red lips grinned, and said in his gloomy voice: "Remarkable, really remarkable! In such a remote place as the border, there are even members of the six doors to greet you." The villain is really curious, how on earth did you develop your power to such a remote place?"
Border, remote, six doors, three keywords make the coarse cloth boy a little unhappy, this is the border is not fake, but it is also the place where he grew up, even if it is really backward compared to the bustling capital, but it is not the turn of an ugly goods to ridicule. As for the six doors...... The sack boy looked at the little friend next to him, did the other party misunderstand something?
The scholar-shirted boy's eyes shook slightly, and when he came into contact with the linen boy's sight, some guilt flashed, and he raised his head and said, "Six doors? But if you want to kill me, why bother? Isn't it a waste of brain energy to come up with a name?"
The tone of the young man in the scholar's shirt was extremely mocking and contemptuous, but the clown obviously didn't care, but smiled in a little surprise, "Why do you think I'm the fourth master's person? can't it be the eighth master's subordinate?"
"Fourth Master, Eighth Master, it seems that you are a person who can make trouble, and you have offended more than one enemy!" The coarse cloth boy heard the clown's question and commented lightly: "In our village, this kind of person is generally called a bear child!"
The corners of the scholar's shirt boy's mouth twitched visibly, completely ignoring the evaluation of the coarse cloth boy, and continued to raise his head and raise his middle finger, the appearance of the little ruffian completely destroyed the Sven temperament imposed on him by the scholar's shirt, "I fled all the way from the capital to the border, which lasted more than three months, during which I was assassinated seventy-two times! I used various means to confuse and provoke you more than a dozen times, although it was not a success, but it also caused the two of you to lose nearly 100 people, even if I didn't know about it before, I am now familiar with you!"
Hearing the record of the scholar shirt, the coarse cloth boy paused slightly, and looked at him a little more, and the clown who had the chance to win no longer laughed. But listening to the scholarly shirted young man then snorted coldly, "Starling is good at management and has a very bold temperament, as far as I know, his dark force is called Dali Temple! He was preparing for the future the moment he knew his fate, mastering Dali in the world, rewarding good and punishing evil for the society." There won't be a weird ugly thing like you among dark forces like this!"
The clown's face turned even colder, "Anything else?"
"And I know, the fourth brother's dark force is called the circus! At first, no one knew why the fourth brother gave the dark force such a strange name, but now I understand! If I can find an assassin who can become invisible as a follower, I will also name the entire dark force for you. If I hadn't accidentally fallen into the pit just now, I'm afraid I would have been successfully attacked by you!"
The clown nodded a little smugly and bowed slightly, "The chief assassin of the circus, the clown, meets Childe." ”
The young man in the scholar's shirt pursed his lips and waved his hand casually, "Get up, it's all this time, it's rare that you can still afford to salute me, it's rare." It seems that the fourth brother is training well. ”
The clown didn't care about the thick ridicule, but the double short swords in his hand turned around slightly, seeing that the flickering cold light was about to kill the killer, the scholar-shirted young man's eyes flashed and hurriedly shouted: "I want to ask a question before I die, the fourth brother has always loved me, and if he is there, he will definitely meet my last request!"
Speaking of the word "fourth brother", the clown really paused, and then sighed: "You disappointed the fourth master, if you don't develop the six doors, maybe you are still the famous gentleman in the capital." Isn't it good to be safe and sound every day and tease the life of a woman from a good family?
Hearing this, the coarse cloth boy gently moved a small step to the side, showing his disdain for being with him. The young man in the scholar's shirt glanced at the goods with drooping eyelids, and asked: "This is the most puzzling thing for me, who said that I developed a dark force? Uh, but the name Six Doors is more than the circus, it shouldn't be that the fourth brother made it out of nothing and wasted his brain capacity, right?"
The clown's face showed a hint of surprise as the boy expected, "I didn't expect your last question to be this, you probably want to ask how the secret was revealed, right?"
The young man in the scholar's shirt shook his head decisively, "No! that's what you heard, don't think about it and don't over-interpret it." Before today, I hadn't even heard the names of the six gates, so why did I say that I had developed some dark power?"
The little scandal suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, and his voice was uncharacteristically heroic, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered by the gloomy tone, "You are a super gentleman known to everyone in the capital, and you didn't learn anything until the day before your eighteenth birthday. You may be able to disguise the city with your deeds, but your strength cannot be hidden. With your rank, if there were no dark forces to help you, how could you have escaped the seventy-two assassinations? Not to mention provoking a battle between us and Dali Temple, which caused us to lose our troops!"
"Huh, you're eighteen years old, but you can't see it, your face is very tender!" the coarse cloth boy reached out and poked at the cheek of the scholar-shirted boy with some novelty.
"I'm pampered, I eat well, I have fun, and of course my skin is shiny! Anyway, yours is good, how old are you? What kind of skin care products do you usually use?" The young man in the scholar's shirt slapped the other party's fingers away, but by the moonlight, he suddenly found that the skin of the coarse cloth boy was smooth and delicate, as if he could pinch out the water.
"I just passed my eighteenth birthday the day before yesterday, and as for my skin, it's just naturally beautiful. ”
The tone of the coarse cloth boy was extremely flat, as if he hadn't said anything big at all, but he didn't know that the invisible force made the scholar shirt boy depressed for a while. I touched my cheeks and felt that all the chicken, duck and fish I had eaten in the past ten years had been pulled out, and the nutrition had not been absorbed at all!
A short sword was nailed between the two teenagers, and the moonlight flashed and the cold light was dazzling.
"Enough of you! A short sword of the same style suddenly appeared in the clown's hand from the void, and the voice full of murderous intent was full of rage.
The middle finger was raised again, "That's because you are too light on the enemy, and every assassination is either a hidden weapon or a sword slash." I only need to recognize your hidden identities to avoid fighting, and when you and the killer of Dali Temple happen to be in the same area, all I have to do is show my face among you. ”
The clown's face was a little weird, could it be that simple? After thinking about it, he pointed to the coarse cloth boy, "Then who is he?" In this empty mountain and old forest, a young man is squatting in a pit! If he is not a spy of the six doors, I don't believe it, is he still! Of course, his strength is weaker. ”
"First of all, I want to clarify that there is a creature called the Radiant Pig in the Fan Leaf Forest. A special substance is formed on its outer skin, which is formed by the contact of the sweat of a shimmering pig with air. This substance glows in the light of the moon and is a special herb that can treat external injuries. Unfortunately, the Radiant Pig only appears at night on a full moon night. And this pit, to be precise, is a trap, which is used to catch the sparkling pigs. The coarse cloth boy's expression was flat, and his eyes stared at the clown without any fluctuations, and he couldn't see the slightest nervousness when facing the killing machine.
"Are you trying to say that you are just the fish in the pond that was harmed, the innocent who was killed by mistake?" the clown said with an ugly face, "I don't believe it".
"Correct solution!" the coarse cloth boy sighed with a look on his face that you finally understood.
"Do you think I'll believe it?" the clown was upset, feeling like he was being toyed with.
The coarse cloth boy tilted his head slightly when he heard this, and thought about it very seriously, "Although I told the truth, ordinary people shouldn't believe it!"
The coarse cloth boy's self-knowledge surprised the clown, "Then you still say?"
"Since you are the number one henchman of the fourth master, and people can even give you a strange name, then you must have something extraordinary. It's just a pity that my expectations of you are still too high, and your IQ has just reached the baseline at best. It's also my fault that I shouldn't have discussed such a profound topic with someone with an inintelligent IQ. ”
The two-handed short swords struck each other fiercely, and the interplay of gold and iron interrupted the young man's ridicule in an instant, and the anger in his eyes was mixed with killing intent, and he didn't want to say anything more, and the only thing at the end of the words was killing.
The young man in the scholar's shirt turned his head to look at the goods with a bitter face, "I'm really sorry, I've tried my best to run off the beaten track, and who knows if I'm still implicated in you." ”
The coarse cloth boy listened to his apology and was about to say something, but he saw the other party's face turn, "But you have no one who has the ability to pull hatred, and it is estimated that you will not live long if you don't die today!
The coarse cloth boy's expression was as indifferent as water, and he stretched out his palm, a wisp of light flashed, and a flower pot less than half a meter high and the width of the basin appeared in his palm. The pots are maroon-red in color and look rough and dilapidated, with a dark soil and a delicate seedling bud swaying in the middle of the soil.
The young man in the scholar's shirt was stunned and asked a little funny: "Is this your soul tool?" It turns out that you are a gardener, so why did you come out to hunt? Is there someone in the family who is injured!"
The coarse cloth boy glanced at him disdainfully, "The soul tool reflects the most impressive object in the subject's previous life, and I am impressed by the flower pot, but I am not necessarily a gardener." Just like the guy on the edge of the pit, do you think he was a clown in his previous life? What circus dares to ask for this kind of clown who pulls out a knife without saying a word?" Also, you've been waiting for someone to arrive!"
Whoosh! A short sword shot swiftly and accurately at the coarse cloth boy like lightning across the night sky, but a green rattan as thick as a child's wrist abruptly obscured in front of the dagger.
After the crisp sound, although the rattan and the short sword collided with a metal-like sound, the major difference in strength still made the rattan shatter into several sections in an instant. But the coarse cloth boy rolled around on a lazy donkey, and avoided it with a brief pause.
The clown wanted to throw the short sword again, but suddenly remembered the words of the coarse cloth boy before, and turned around with a fierce slash. The long metal friction extended from the clown's left eye to his right eye, and the strong force made the clown's body sway slightly and almost fell into the pit.
One hit misses and escapes thousands of miles, although the opponent jumps less than a thousand miles, but his swift figure and style of action are more qualified than the clown for the title of killer.
A dangerous glint shot out of the clown's slightly narrowed eyes, and he carefully examined the dark shadow in front of him. It was really a black shadow, except for a pair of eyes that bloomed with essence, and his whole body was pitch black, as if it was a shadow that attacked him.
"Dali Temple?" The clown turned his hand and conjured a short sword again, and asked slowly, with a frenzy on his face.
The black shadow turned his head slightly, looking at the two teenagers in the pit who were quietly watching the changes, "The eighth master is very disappointed, let me ask you, is the brotherhood of so many years fake?" But you just made me very satisfied with the evaluation of the eighth master, and I will give you a good time." ”
The young man in the scholar's shirt spread his hands helplessly, "Starling has always been good to me, and he won't lose a piece of meat if you praise him." Again, even if you don't believe it, I have to say it's a misunderstanding. ”
The black shadow really didn't believe it, and turned his head to no longer pay attention to the two teenagers, but put all his mind on the opponent. But his gaze was on the other side of the empty place. "The chief of Dali Temple, the shadow assassin. ”
Crisp applause began to echo through the trees, and suddenly a thin figure spun out from behind the empty trees. The whole body is covered with a hat and a hat, which looks awkward and alternative in this wood. Raising his head slightly, revealing a pockmarked face, he smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Shadow assassin? Interesting, I originally thought that the chief of Dali Temple was Shi Gang, but I didn't expect it to be such a guy like you!"
The two teenagers in the pit rolled their eyes in unison, where did you come from Bilian said that people hide their heads and show their tails?
"Shi Gang never said that he was the chief of Dali Temple, and as for me, it's just that no one can live to spread my reputation. The Shadow Assassin flipped his wrist and flashed his weapon. It seems that all Assassins are accustomed to using short, two-handed weapons, and the Shadow Assassin's weapon is different from that of the Joker, with a dagger with a curved serrated teeth in his left hand and three sharp claw blades sticking out of his right arm!
"Hehe, don't you want to talk more?"
The Shadow Assassin didn't answer the other man's question, but his figure suddenly soared into the air, two cold lights flickering below him, and the clown standing on the edge of the pit slashed past with two short swords.
The man in the cloth flipped his wrists and also pulled out two short swords, one left and one right, and the clown flew up the tree and strangled towards the shadow assassin!
A series of sparks and metal resonated, and the man in the coat and the clown swung their short swords into a curtain of light, as if to make the black shadow in the middle no longer visible. However, the Shadow Assassin was not flustered, his arms flew up and down, and the dagger claw blade drew black marks in the air, shuttling back and forth in the light curtain for a while, and it was still indistinguishable from each other.
The young man in the scholar's shirt watched the clown's menacing hand-to-hand fight with the shadow assassin for a while, then turned his head and said, "How did you know he was coming?"
The coarse cloth boy didn't raise his head, gently plucked the seedlings in the flower pot, and shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity, I wanted to make breakfast with fresh corn tomorrow." Then he threw a shriveled seed into the soil, and the aura was slightly instilled, and the dark soil suddenly lit up with stars, and then a thick rattan grew in front of the eyes of the two teenagers and crawled towards the top of the pit.
The coarse cloth boy pulled hard after the rattan stopped growing, turned his head and said, "My soul tool is a flower pot, and its only function is to accelerate the growth of plants. And the Shadow Assassin had stepped on the vines I had placed nearby when he first arrived, so I knew. As he spoke, he grabbed the rattan and climbed up.
The young man in the scholar's shirt nodded, climbed up behind his buttocks, and said with a sudden smile: "I see, I thought your soul tool was a big pit!"
The corners of the coarse cloth boy's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute anything, just quietly let out a sullen fart.
The young man in the scholar's shirt smiled and asked: "Meeting is fate, how can we also be comrades-in-arms who share life and death, my name is Gu Shen, what is your name?"
"Meng Xiao. ”
