Chapter 1: Shirt Ninja
In March of the 566th year of the Altino calendar, the free city of Siam
Compared with the high-spirited situation when he first left Altino, the children of the Shi family in Siam City are now all depressed. Usually in Zhongdu (Altino Royal City), with the strength of the Shi family, everyone is arrogant, any gang has to retreat, even the official is respectful to it, the Shi family's personal guards are going to go, no one dares to stop it, and the arrogance is monstrous.
However, now that people are in a foreign land, they feel the desolation of being alone, and they have made trouble for a few nobodies, and even the eldest prince has been injured and retreated, which is something that he could not have imagined when he left Zhongdu.
The morale of his subordinates was low, and Shi Cunzhong, as the leader, saw it all in his eyes. Returning to the place where he stayed, after a few rounds of pranayama, the feeling of suffocation in his chest had disappeared a lot, and he had suffered an internal injury from the fight with Lancelot not long ago, and he had to find a place to heal immediately.
This is the most unbearable thing for yourself!
Even that reckless man who is not unknown can frustrate himself......
The thirteen Taibao of the Shi family are all from bad backgrounds, if they are either famous thieves and bandits, or they are born in poverty and try their best to climb up from the bottom of society. Shi Cunzhong belongs to the latter, his parents died when he was a child, and he and his younger brother worshiped the Shi family together, practiced martial arts hard, and entered the pro-guard team because of his excellent performance, and then received Shi Chong's appreciation as a righteous son, becoming the head of the Thirteen Taibao.
The blood and sweat along the way is beyond the imagination of outsiders. Every point of achievement is earned by ten times the effort, and even if you get it, you can lose it again at any time. Under Shi Chong's intention, the internal competition within the Shi family is extremely fierce, anyone with a slightly poor martial arts and a slightly dull brain may be eliminated by the struggle at any time, even if it is himself, under the threat of the second Taibao Shi Cunxiao and his family, he also has to tremble to improve his martial arts and go all out to complete every task.
This alliance with the Oriental family was a great opportunity to overwhelm Shi Cunxiao's family, but I didn't know that things would evolve uncontrollably. Now in Siam City, he has a gray nose, his men and horses are lost, and he also injured an unknown junior, in the eyes of the Shi family, it is nothing less than a symbol of incompetence, if even Shi Chong himself has such thoughts, his so-called righteous son really has a few days left.
But he can't turn his face with the Dongfang family, because that will only make Dongfang Xuanhu proudly change to Shi Cunxiao to cooperate, and I believe that Shi Cunxiao will be happy to kick himself down and sit firmly in the first place of the Thirteen Taibao.
After thinking about it, Shi Cunzhong felt hesitant.
In the final analysis, I am not strong enough. If the strength in his hands is strong, how can he be bullied by Hua Fengliu and others, even in the face of Dongfang Xuanhu, people dare not underestimate and have scruples.
What is a strong strength? Of course, it is a superior martial art! Today's battle has clearly proved that his own martial arts are not enough to stand firm in the turbulent current of Siam City, and according to the current situation, maybe in a few days, even Hua Ruohong, who is like a Korean worm, may be stronger than himself......
What a joke!
In order to climb to their current position, they don't know how many things they sacrificed and how many painful things they did against their will, and if they fell here, then Shi Cunzhong's name would only become the object of ridicule by the people in the rivers and lakes.
Closing his eyes, Shi Cunzhong stroked his chest and breathed. He vaguely knew what he should do, but did he really want to take this step so resolutely, or let it go, although he lost the ugly battle, he might not have another chance to rise again in the future.
I can't figure it out, and I still owe the motivation for shortcomings......
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the visitor was a man with a double knife on his back, Shi Cunxin, who was ranked fifth in the Thirteenth Taibao.
The Thirteen Taibao are not ranked by age, so this Fifth Taibao, who used to be a well-known horse thief, is far older than Shi Cunzhong. He was supposed to meet everyone three days ago, but he was late, and he also revealed an unusual look on his face.
"Say, what does the Father-in-law say about what is happening in Siam?"
"Boss, you are really right, on the way here, I was caught up by an urgent envoy sent from the capital, asking me to convey to you the message of my father-in-law. Shi Cunxin said: "Father-in-law commanded, he has known all the events in Siam City, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, everyone should not be discouraged, maintain a normal heart, he will send people and horses and masters of King Kong Hall to help here in the near future, cooperate with the boss of your command, be sure to win this weapon deal at the recruitment meeting, and never let the Medici family come out on top." ”
King Kong Hall is the place where the Shi family has recruited some masters who are inconvenient to show up, most of them are some treacherous people who have committed many crimes in the past, are rumored to be dead, or are not seen in the world, but compared to others, they are the real strength of the Shi family. will send the masters of the Vajra Hall to help, that is really important to this weapon deal.
This is really a big joke, for the many victims who died miserably due to mission failure in the past, listening to this, they will probably wake up from the mass grave of the Shi family!
Sensing that Shi Cunxin's face was different after he finished speaking, Shi Cunzhong asked, "Old Five, is this the only way?" Or did you not tell me anything else? ”
"This ...... My stepfather also instructed, Boss, you have been practicing hard recently, and the Fossil Dafa is extremely consuming of true yuan, so I want me to advise you not to be greedy for merit, to be careful of your body, and then give you such things to replenish your body. The words were kind, but Shi Cunxin had an embarrassed look on his face, and hesitantly took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it over.
When I opened the brocade box, there were seven finger-sized pills inside, the color was vermilion, and the spicy smell was revealed, and at a glance I knew that it was a precious medicine.
Shi Cunzhong's face changed greatly the moment he saw it.
Rakshasa Nine Turns Pill!
Shi Chong, Shi Chong, compared to Dongfang Xuanhu, you are a real fox.
The slam from behind created momentum, and this time, there was no excuse to back down.
Staring at the elixir in the brocade box, Shi Cunzhong couldn't help laughing.
The hoarse laughter came into his ears, and Shi Cunxin lowered his head, not daring to face the expression of his brother-in-law.
"What? You said to Hua Ruohong that you are one of the Four Horsemen, how can you say that?" Gengoro sighed: "Don't say that the Four Horsemen of the White Night can't have a member of your height, as we all know, Jerusalem rejects the Sheters as believers!"
"At that time, the situation was critical, what else could I do if I didn't tell such a lie?" Youxue said: "Doesn't that religion advocate that God loves the world, and although the body is defiled because of race, the soul is not pure?"
"Yes, if you give them 10,000 gold coins, the priests will privately admit that you Sheters can be redeemed!"
After settling the battle with the Shi family, everyone returns to their shelter, and Gengoro is pulled into the room when he encounters Yuxue, informs him of the trouble he has created, and then struggles with how to fulfill his lie.
On the other side, the first two of the four brothers also faced the same distress.
"I know that Jerusalem has always advocated the equality of all beings, but why have I never heard of a Shepherd as a member of the Order?"
Hua Ruohong's question, if it is not handled well, it will lead to the debunking of the whole lie, two people who have never been known for their quick wit, you look at me, I look at you, each scratching his head, still can't think of an explanation.
"That's because...... He's not a Sheter!"
After Hua Ruohong's question was suspended for a while, the neat voice was answered, and Gengoro walked out of the room, his face almost serious, but listening to him, Lancelot and Hanajiro both tried to make their expressions look as if nothing happened.
"Alas, it's hard to hide now, so we have to tell the truth......," Gengoro sighed, "Since we're all in the same boat, let's talk openly and honestly!"
The expression was very serious, but listening to the first half of the sentence, Lancelot had a sense of absurdity, and after getting along with these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, he seemed to hear this kind of opening sentence often. There was another person who felt the same way as him, and after hearing the second half of the sentence, Hanajiro's face immediately changed greatly.
"Brother Ruohong, in fact, what you know is Xue, he is not a Xuete person!"
"Not the Shet?
"Wato!" Gengoro said with a smile: "You may have heard that in the sea off the northeast coast of the free city, there is a country of Japan, and the people in it are short in stature and are called Wajin. Because he is the same height as the Sheter, in order to hide his whereabouts, he made up as a Sheter. ”
"Is that so? makeup looks like this!" Hua Ruohong said: "However, I have never heard of such a figure among the Four Knights of the White Night before...... I don't mean to offend, I mean ......"
Just as he told you, Yuxue's true identity is the "Black Knight" of the Four Knights. Gengoro said: "As an excellent ninja, he must be in the dark for many years, and he must not reveal his identity, so in order to keep it secret, his name is not loud, and the outside world does not know much about him, and now in order not to let you have unnecessary doubts, Onizo shows his true face." ”
After saying that, Gengoro stepped aside, revealing a figure with snow behind him. Wearing a black night suit, this short and fat thing does not have half the momentum of a ninja, and its round appearance is only funny, and he puffs out his chest and meets Hua Ruohong's gaze.
"This ...... The boy has no eyes, but he has the appearance of a snow ghost hidden hero, and he really doesn't look like a ......."
Hua Ruohong was speechless, but no one knew that he was suspicious. Although he doesn't understand the mysteries of ninjutsu, looking at Yuxue's ridiculous appearance, it is difficult for anyone to believe that he is a master.
"Alas, you're wrong, the first priority of a ninja is to be unobtrusive, the more useless it seems, the more it can be used to kill with one hit. Gengoro smiled: "Today opened your eyes, in order to prove your identity, Kizo is willing to perform ninjutsu, let's say! What kind of kung fu do you want to see?"
When Gengoro finished speaking, Yuxue immediately trembled and wanted to turn around and run away, but Gengoro buckled his shoulders without a trace and couldn't move. And Hua Ruohong also thought seriously.
"This ...... I've heard that ninjas in Japan know a kind of earth escape thaumaturgy, I wonder if it can open the kid's eyes?"
"Dirt...... Soil Escape...... What's that?"
Under the black mask, Youxue was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she only hated to escape for her life. And Gengoro whispered in his ear: "Tu Dun, just bury it alive in disguise." Then he said loudly: "No problem, Onizo said that this is a trivial matter, you can take a closer look with your eyes wide!"
Seeing Gengoro's demonic smile, Lancelot and Hanajiro didn't know his idea, and they all mourned in advance for their sworn brother.
"Save ............"
Before the miserable Xuete people had time to plead, Gengoro smiled slightly, raised his palm and slapped it on Youxue's shoulder, only to hear a strange sound of "poof", the air was dusty, the ground cracked a round hole, the black and swarthy bottomless, looking at it was very scary, and the snow had long disappeared.
"Wow! It's amazing! Is this the strength of the so-called first-class ninja?" Seeing the amazing magic skills, Hua Ruohong was infinitely amazed.
"Yes, with the Ghost Hidden Earth Escape Technique, Kung Fu has probably escaped from Siam City at this time. The most important thing for a ninja is to hide his identity, and today he did not hesitate to reveal his identity to you in order to save you from danger, which is really a lot of sacrifice. Gengoro said, "In this way, are you willing to believe him?"
"Yes, the boy is really ashamed of himself, I must step up my sword training. When Onizo comes back, let me thank him. Thinking of the deep grace of his predecessors, Hua Ruohong was moved to tears, but saw Lancelot and Hua Jiro, staring at the deep black hole, full of horror.
"Two seniors, why are your faces so solemn?"
"I didn't ...... Nothing...... Ghost Hide's kung fu is too advanced. Lancelot looked at the smiling Gengoro and said in a trembling voice, "We're worried that he doesn't know where he has been escaped now?"
With his doubts solved, Hua Ruohong decided not to waste any more time and went outside the house to practice swords, and Lancelot also claimed that something was wrong and left the house.
"Is this really okay?" After the two left, Hanajiro said, "Your lies are actually full of flaws, aren't you afraid that kid will find out your lies after thinking about it?"
"Regarding this, second brother, you definitely have to believe one thing. Gengoro smiled: "If a person is stupid, no matter what you say, even if the facts are clearly in front of him, he will still blindly believe it." ”
"If people are stupid, even if the facts are already in front of them......" Hanajiro chewed on the meaning of his words and chuckled, "This is very interesting, in addition to Ruohong Kid, is your Lancelot boss also a living example?"
"If a man is stupid, he will believe anything he says. After a long time, Gengoro shook his head and chuckled, "Fool, I'm just talking about you!"
With a bit of regret, Gengoro felt sorry for the current development. However, before he could meditate again, a faint moan sounded from below.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry...... Third brother, if you have time...... Can you dig me out...... It's as if my whole body has been galloped by thousands of horses again......"
"Huh, no, why?"
Leaving the shelter, Lancelot hurried to the Plum Garden. The battle with Shi Cunzhong made him more confident, and he also wanted to obtain a stronger skill than now, since the true qi in his body was only unsealed by less than one percent, then if he increased it a little more, the effect would definitely be better.
However, this request was rejected by the attending doctor.
"No, Brother Liu, I don't know how your internal strength is generated, but with the strength of your internal strength, it is already the limit to unseal Yicheng in a short period of time, if you have a few more points, the unbearable flesh will collapse first, which is very dangerous. ”
Even if Fenghua didn't say that, Lancelot knew it. Although he can now use internal force, he feels strong when he improves his luck, but whenever he urges his luck too quickly, the true qi that swells like boiling water will make his chest feel depressed.
"As for self-preservation, Brother Liu's current kung fu should also have more than enough self-defense, isn't it?"
"This ......"
Shi Cunzhong is not incompetent, on the contrary, in the past ten years, he is definitely ranked in the top five, in other words, if he can fight with him, his martial arts are enough to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and it is definitely not a big problem to defend himself.
But what you want is more than just self-preservation. If you want to live up to this life, if you want to make a big deal on this vast continent, and create a career that can satisfy you, the ability you need is definitely not just self-preservation.
Where the deep internal force in his body came from, Lancelot really couldn't figure it out. However, if only one of them can be used, Shi Cunzhong, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, can be defeated, so if fifty percent of the internal force can be used freely, it will not be a problem to make a big fight in this competition in Siam City.
Since the descent, there has always been depression that is difficult to reach, wandering about the future, and feeling the gap between himself and Gengoro and Hanajiro, and the accumulation of these emotions has been transformed into a desperate desire to improve his strength. Lancelot knew that such a rapid increase was dangerous, but the patience that had lost due to the long wait forced him to ignore the danger and seize the opportunity desperately.
Lancelot said: "If it's a general situation, of course it's enough, but my brothers and I are more upside down, and the people we get into trouble are also more troublesome, and those people from the Shi family are all ruthless......
"Shi family?" Feng Hua exclaimed, "Is it the stone family of El Tieno?"
"Yes! The snake pervert who chased us that day was one of the thirteen Taibao of the Shi family. Lance Lodge said: "Huh, how do you know about the Shizi family? Like this, you are a young lady who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door, you should not know it!"
Speaking of this, Lancelot couldn't help but be a little surprised. I've been with Fenghua for a few days, except for knowing that she is very good at medicine, and she seems to have studied martial arts, but she doesn't know anything else, not to mention her family background, and even what year she belongs to the ghost. Having said that, the Shizi family has only been established for more than 20 years, and since she knows, it seems that the days of becoming ghosts are not long, at least not thousands of years old.
"That gentleman who plays with snakes is one of the thirteen Taibao?" Fenghua muttered: "I don't know, that day, Brother Liu, you started too fast, he was defeated by you before he made two moves, and I didn't have time to identify the number of his martial artists...... Well, he will use poison and entangle snakes around his body, so it should be the Shi family's Seventh Taibao Shi Cunhe. ”
More than just now, Lancelot was surprised by these words. Like this, in a few words, judging the identity of the character from the characteristics of the character, weapons, and martial arts, which requires a considerable understanding of the current forces in the rivers and lakes, if it is Gengoro or Yuxue, it is not surprising to have this insight, but it is ...... A delicate girl who grows up in a closed environment and has never even been in contact with the opposite sex......
There is another strange thing, Fenghua's eyes are blind early, and the contact with the surroundings is only by hearing and touch, and the battle process with Shi Cunhe that day is very short, how does she know what happened? Not only that, these days with her, Fenghua because of blindness, usually used to close his eyes, but for his every move, but as clear as he saw himself, not lost to the clear-eyed people at all. Could it be that this is also the magic power of ghosts?
Fenghua, this wisp of fragrant soul inhabiting the Shen family's plum garden, is really weird!
"The Shizi family is rich and powerful, the masters are like clouds, and they have great influence all over the mainland, if they are provoked, such martial arts are indeed not enough. Fenghua said softly: "Brother Liu, why do you have a grudge with the Shi family?"
Talking about the topic, Lance Lotten put aside other doubts, shrugged his shoulders and replied: "What other reason is needed, you look at the sinister appearance of the snake pervert, you know that he is a bad person, like things gather, the Shi family's big vote bad guys want to hunt down and kill good guys, good guys want to find a way to live, why do you need any reason?"
His remarks are evasive and plausible. When it comes to the grievances between his own group and the Shi family, it is really difficult to say who is right and wrong, but in any case, Liang Zi has always formed a knot, and according to the situation, the possibility of reconciliation is also very low.
"Bad guys...... And the good guys...... Is that simple?" Fenghua muttered to herself, as if she had something to think about, Lancelot did not dare to disturb, and remained silent.
"Brother Liu, please lend me your treasure knife again, okay?"
Ramming, Fenghua opened his mouth to borrow the knife, although Lancelot felt strange, but he did not doubt him, took off the nameless divine soldier, reversed the handle of the knife and handed it over.
How much truth is there in what this man is saying so far?
The name of Liu Yidao is currently the number one flower thief on the mainland. But it could never be the man in front of him, as far as a flower thief is concerned, the smell on his body is too clean, and he has not approached the woman's fat powder smell for a long time. And a flower thief must practice light skills, he can't do it at all, with such martial arts, it is impossible to become Liu Yidao. Even if it is, it is only the same name and surname.
But he wasn't one to settle for anything more than just self-preservation. It had been less than a few hours since the morning was separated, and when he came back again, the smell of blood on his body was strong again. It was not only the smell of blood, but also a feeling of sadness, resentment, and regret, which meant that in the fighting, not only blood was seen, but also casualties were caused.
The undead's fetters to the world, their fear and resentment of death, are attached through blood, forming a blood of resentment that is difficult for ordinary people to see. Absorbing this resentful blood, the nameless divine soldier on the man's waist was almost excited to come out of the sheath and drink human blood in the next battle.
If it can be excited, it will almost jump out of the sheath, and the lives of the people killed and injured earlier must be not only one or two, but at least ten or twenty. At this moment, through the scabbard, the mournful moans and cries of the ghosts imprisoned by the divine soldiers sounded clearly in their ears.
Don't...... What did you do wrong again?
In line with the mind of a doctor who can heal one person and heal one person as long as he is fated to meet, it is a good thing to help this man heal his injuries and increase his martial arts. But because of this good deed, more than 20 lives were killed and wounded, and there may be more in the future. If I had turned a blind eye and let this man die of his wounds that day, none of these things would have happened. Now, isn't half of the extra 20 lives also my responsibility?
Alas...... I knew that it was not easy to save a bad person, so why was it so difficult to save a good person?
Feng Hua let out a long sigh, and Lancelot was feeling strange that she had pulled out her sword. The plum forest was dark and cold, and the faint sunlight sprinkled through the branches and leaves, and the blade of the knife rippled out of a blood-red bleak rainbow, which was terrifying.
Lancelot thought that he had forgotten to wipe it after the bloody battle just now, so that the blood stains were condensed on the knife, and he secretly thought that he would have to scrub and maintain it later, but he saw Fenghua put his palm flat against the blade of the knife and slowly wiped it.
Knowing that the treasure knife is sharp and incomparable, and the palm of her daughter's family is soft, rubbing it like this, even if she doesn't see blood, it hurts, Lancelot wanted to stop it, but she remembered that Fenghua was not human, and such an action should not hurt her, so she stopped talking for a while.
"Zheng-" Fenghua stroked his palm and wiped the blade, and when he reached the end, he flicked his fingers on the tip of the knife, carrying out a strange washing, when this action was carried out for the third time, the blade of the knife suddenly sounded without wind, and the voice was sharp and rapid, as if dissatisfied with her movements, and at the same time, more than twenty points of green fluorescent light seemed to be out of the shackles, scrambling to fly out of the blade, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Having lost the spoils of war, the divine soldier had a spirit, screaming and shaking angrily, but it was suppressed by a pair of white jade flawless palms, and it could not be expressed. After a long time, when the screaming gradually died down, Fenghua returned the knife to the sheath and handed it to Lancelot.
Witnessing the mysterious scene, Lancelot vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, when Fenghua handed the knife over, he retracted it from his waist.
"Brother Liu......"
"How?"
"I ...... Fenghua wants to smell you again, can you sit closer?"
Lancelot remembered that Fenghua once said that he liked the smell of the forest on his body, and then went back and forth to ask, what is the "smell of the forest"? Hanajiro laughed and said that it was the rustic spirit of the hillbilly, which taught people to be confused.
When the conversation is important, I suddenly say that I want to smell the smell, girls are really strange creatures, both before and after death.
"Uh...... Great!"
Moved to Fenghua's side, and as soon as he sat down, a body as soft as a snowflake and as cold as a jade gently leaned into his arms.
It's still the same smell, like a pure heart with the mountains and forests, natural, sincere, unpretentious and full of vitality, I just believed that people with such a smell are not bad people, so I tried to help him increase his strength, is this judgment wrong?
This man's martial arts are extremely bad, and it is difficult to judge the origin of his family, but the internal force of that body is terrifying, and the degree of domineering and domineering is really only seen in his life.
Moreover, it is different from the internal force of many people in the Free City after experiencing the last demon earthquake, the internal force on this man's body is obviously transferred to him after long-term hard training, and according to the strong judgment of internal force, the time is not less than hundreds of years, and may even break a thousand years.
Who is willing to make such a big sacrifice and transfer to him the internal strength that has been trained for thousands of years? To have such a relationship, this man must also have a great background!
Gently stroking the man's face, Fenghua outlined his appearance in his heart, and his mind was full of thoughts.
If you use mind reading, you will soon be able to see through his thoughts, and know everything he has hidden and not said, but from the experience of many sad memories in the past, he has decided not to use this kind of snooping trick at will......
Tam noticed that the jade man in his arms was thinking about it, and Lancelot was still bothering about his martial arts. Suddenly, a strange feeling stimulated the skin, and when I looked closely, it was the long black hair of Fenghua, like silk, like a waterfall, like a cloud, leaning against my chest, itchy, fragrant, and very comfortable.
It's strange to think about it, she's an ethereal ghost, these feelings should actually be hallucinations at all, but it's so beautiful to be born in partiality.
Thinking that was a bit silly, Lancelot smiled. In the story told by the old man, aren't the female ghosts the best at confusing men and then sucking their anger and blood?
"I said, Fenghua, ......"
"Brother Liu?"
"Your hair...... It's beautiful!"
