Chapter 17 Ancient Dian

Ancient Dian was an important border town in the southwest where the Zephyr Dynasty ruled the southwest. Since ancient times, there has been a saying www.biquge.info "embracing ancient Yunnan and looking down on the Central Plains", which shows the importance of its position in military strategy.

The scenery here is particularly unique, a mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days, and now it is a strange picture of the sun in the east and the rain in the west.

On the second floor of the inn, Hua Wuyan lies on the fence, overlooking the unique scenery of the east and west.

Since killing Gu Ye and leaving Rongzhou, he has come to Gudian non-stop. Because here is his enemy, the Jade Sword Gate.

When I came to the city to inquire a little, I found out that although the Jade Sword Gate had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes and could squeeze into the second rate, it was not very comfortable here.

The first force in ancient Yunnan, the Southwest Hou Mansion.

The name of the Southwest Marquis is Feng Zehao, who is a child of the clan, because of his calm personality, smart and capable, he was entrusted with important tasks by the Western Emperor and sent to guard the important land of the soldiers. In all towns and cities within a radius of several hundred miles, all the affairs of the imperial court must be under the orders of the Southwest Marquis. It is rumored that there are also many capable people in the house, and there are 30,000 wolf-like Feng Tingwei under his command.

The Southwest Hou Mansion is powerful and in the limelight.

Feng Zehao lived in a simple place, and he had never heard of any evil deeds. Occasionally, people who risked their lives went to the Hou Mansion to cry blood and redress their grievances, and he also enforced the law impartially and killed several gentlemen. So although he has not been in office for a few years, his reputation is good.

The second force in this city is still not the turn of the Jade Sword Gate, but the Three Immortal Temple.

The Three Immortals Temple is located on the top of the Tiger Roaring Mountain in the suburbs of the city, there are hundreds of Taoist priests in the view, and the perennial incense is prosperous.

Taoism in the world teaches its own martial arts, nine of the ten people who practice martial arts in ancient Dian are Taoist lineages, plus the three immortals often go down the mountain to treat the people, and form a good relationship, so that the status in the hearts of the people is higher than the city lord's mansion.

The third largest force in the city, only to be able to turn on the Jade Sword Gate.

The Jade Sword Sect is the oldest sect in ancient Yunnan, and it has been based here for about a hundred years. Although the sect has been established for a long time, it has not developed smoothly over the past few decades, and in the final analysis, the exercises are inferior and the qualifications of the disciples in the sect are mediocre.

However, after the Great Xia National Iron Cavalry entered the customs from the northwest, the situation was abruptly reversed.

The elders of the generation of the Jade Sword Sect hid all the outstanding disciples and precious pills before the arrival of the barbarians, and when the general trend of the world was decided, the Jade Sword Gate returned to Ancient Yunnan.

At that time, the other sects resisted the barbarians and fought bloodily, and the elites of each sect lost eighty or ninety percent, but the disciples of the Jade Sword Sect devoted themselves to hard cultivation for many years, and all of them were extraordinary.

One rises and one falls, and the judgment is made.

In less than a year, the master of the Jade Sword Sect, who could be called the hero of the world, led all the disciples to sweep away the other sects. Many precious classics and peerless elixirs were in the bag, and the pawnshops, brothels, gambling houses, and carriage and horse shops in the city were all occupied by them. After decades of cultivation and hard work, the heroes in the door have emerged one after another, and their influence has extended to the surrounding towns. The people in the vicinity only heard of the Jade Sword Gate, but did not know what the West Wind Country was.

But a few years ago, after the Southwest Marquis led 30,000 Fengting Guards to step into this place, the Jade Sword Gate reined in its edge and obediently clamped its tail and behaved.

In the past, the rivers and lakes were not the five holy places now, but the six holy places.

Penglai Sword Pavilion was in full swing back then, with thousands of disciples, and there were even the tenth Xiaoyao Immortals on the Tianwu List, even so, Penglai Sword Pavilion was also flattened by the Donghua Dynasty overnight, and the Xiaoyao Immortals were surrounded and killed by dozens of court eagle dogs, and thousands of disciples were blood-stained Penglai.

Over the years, are there still few top sects in the rivers and lakes that have been trampled by iron horses?

Between the rivers and lakes and the temples, there is a huge gap that can never be crossed.

Hua Wuyan walked out of the inn and strolled through the noisy streets of the city, stopping and stopping.

The good appearance and quite luxurious robe have attracted many Huaichun girls to review frequently, and some of the bold ones also sent autumn waves, hoping that this boy brother could express something. It's a pity that the handsome young man is like a blind eye, ignoring their admiration, and only carefully examining the objects sold in the shops on the street.

This girl is not as good as those broken copper and iron, most of the girls rolled their eyes.

There are even a few well-informed people who directly classify him into the pile of men who have a dragon impotence fetish.

The poor handsome boy was just trying to buy a weapon to take advantage of, and he was spurned by the girls.

Hua Wuyan walked into a weapons shop, and the things inside were dazzling, mainly swords, and there were several strange weapons. Among them, there is a knife with a very unique shape, the head of the knife is curved, the head and the blade are half of each other, and it is placed in the corner of the shop, which is inconspicuous.

Hua Wuyan picked it up and fiddled with it for a while, wanting to pick up a beautiful knife flower, but he felt awkward. I've heard Master E say before that there are people who use any kind of weapons in the rivers and lakes, and the more weird the blade, the more you can't underestimate it. And there may be good things in the small shop, a kendo master back then, it was in the unknown blacksmith shop in the village that he found Zhan Lu, one of the top ten famous swords.

Thinking of the adventures of that kendo master, Hua Wuyan's heart was surging, and he asked the boss, "What kind of knife is this?"

The boss's eyes showed a look of surprise: "You want to buy this?"

Hua Wuyan, who had found the baby's thoughts, nodded heavily.

"This is the crescent scythe, do you have land?" The boss's local accent is quite strong, and the force and the land are a little unclear.

Hua Wuyan thought about it, but didn't figure out what the other party meant, "What force?"

The boss made a few arm waving motions and explained, "This is a sickle, which is used to cut rice and wheat." ”

Forehead......

Hua Wuyan put down the crescent scythe in embarrassment, and walked out of the store with a red face.

"Young man, if you like it, I will sell it to you for five yuan, and if it is too expensive, I can sell it for four yuan......" Seeing that someone finally asked about the sickle, the boss spared no effort to sell it.

"No...... No need ......"

"Young man, Sanwen, or Erwen!"

Hua Wuyan took a few steps and hurriedly left, "Why is this different from the sickle in Loujia Village...... Damn, the master is embarrassed and thrown to Gudian ......".

Further on, I came to a corner, and I didn't want to glance at it, and the stalls were full of all kinds of slingshots.

Hua Wuyan's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

He has been fond of this slingshot since he was a child, and he has a lot of fun looking at the different styles here. picked up a handful, dragged the rubber band and glanced at it a few times, and found that it was not as strong as the one he played when he was a child, so he threw it aside.

After careful selection, a slingshot with a unique shape caught his eye.

I saw that the bow body was made of bamboo, the leather band seemed to be made of snake tendons, and the elastic pocket was cooked cowhide. Hua Buxian fiddled for a while, and with his current strength of a few hundred catties in Ruoxi Realm, he didn't completely pull it apart.

Hua Wuyan held it in his hand like a treasure, and after discussing the price with the seller, he bought a few bags of iron pills and put them in his pocket.

Just as he was about to leave, a young man in his twenties wrapped in a cotton towel walked towards him menacingly.

Hua Wuyan was suddenly a little dazed, he had just come to Gudian for a few days, and no one had provoked him, why did someone trouble him so quickly, and when he was still wondering when he had a grudge with this person, the cotton towel youth bypassed him and shouted at the uncle who sold slingshots: "What a broken thing, it will break after a few tendons, lose money!"

The slingshot stall owner is about forty years old, not tall, stout, and his face does not look like a good man or woman.

When the stall owner heard the young man's words, he disdained it and said, "You buy the cheapest goods, and you still want to use a slingshot with dragon tendons?"

Seeing his attitude, the young man was even more annoyed, and threw his slingshot at the stall, scolding: "You dwarf winter melon, do you want to pay for it!"

The various slingshots that had been neatly stacked on the table were suddenly smashed by him.

When the stall owner saw the stall being smashed, he was very angry, how could he swallow the slap in the face on the street, and rubbed his shirt off, revealing his chest full of black hair, and shouted: "Lao Tzu will not pay, how can it!"

After hearing this, the young man's eyes widened angrily, he rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his right hand, pulled out a ruler-long Ming Huang knife from behind him, and slashed at the shoulder of the slingshot!

The stall owner didn't expect him to hit him, but he was caught off guard, and quickly blocked it with his arm, and his wrist was slashed.

The stall owner is also a tough guy, and after being stabbed, he didn't say a word, pulled out a dagger from under the stall, and stabbed at the other party with a crooked body.

Neither of them had practiced martial arts, but with their physical strength and fighting experience, they hung up with each other after a while, and the surrounding things were in a mess.

At this time, a dark and fat middle-aged woman ran over, scolded in her mouth, picked up a bamboo pole and poked at the young man.

The young man was entangled with the stall owner, defenseless, and was deeply stabbed in the waist by a sharp knife tied to a bamboo pole, and fell to the ground suddenly, convulsing.

The stall owner did not give up, raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed him twice in the shoulder, and the young man who was originally at the end of the crossbow suddenly fell in a pool of blood, with more air in and less breath.

To the east came a few more people, men, women, and children, all gathered around the young man, like his relatives and friends. Seeing that the life and death of his family were unknown, except for a young woman who was screaming and crying beside him, the rest of them all rushed towards the couple.

Some picked up a flat pole, some picked up a stool to smash, and there was a gray-haired old woman, who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old, picked up the sickle in the basket and slashed it!

The old woman's athletic hand when swinging the knife is definitely not the first time to cut someone!

The stall owner and his wife, who also had friends and relatives by their side, also took up arms to join the battle, and they were in a mess.

Hua Wuyan had already flashed to the side, for fear of splashing his own blood, and when he saw the old woman holding a knife into battle, her eyes were about to fall, and she muttered: "I used to hear Master E say that his grandmother is fierce, and his grandmother is fierce, and I never understand what it means, but I don't know until today that grandma is fierce, and it is really fierce......"

An aunt watching the battle next to her seemed to hear his words, and turned her head and looked at her angrily!

Hua Wuyan hurriedly twisted his head to the side to avoid the fierce gaze of the eldest lady.

After a while, rolling thunder rang out from the east.

Hua Wuyan stood on tiptoe and looked, only to see that there was dust in the distance, and pedestrians on both sides were also standing aside, making way for a wide road.

In a moment, a group of majestic horse teams galloped in front of Hua Wuyan's eyes.

At the front of the team was a strong man like a black tower, sitting on a tall black horse, a head taller than the people behind. Scattered without a crown, his face was sinking like water, and a pitch-black armor wrapped his whole body, but he just stared at him, and the murderous aura of his whole body spread out like a substance, and the people who were closer to him couldn't help but retreat.

This is a lord with an unknown amount of blood on his hands!

I saw him wave his big hand, and dozens of sturdy men with armor and knives behind him dismounted in unison, and their leather boots stomped on the yellow earth.

Hua Wuyan looked at this team, although it was not as elite as the 18th Battalion of the West Wind, but it was not much different, and asked the aunt next to him, "Sister, who are they?"

The aunt's face lost the arrogant look just now, and she said softly, "Feng Tingwei." ”

Hua Wuyan's heart froze, "Southwest Hou Mansion?"

Dozens of wolf-like Feng Tingwei dispersed the people who were still fighting, and those who resisted or cursed raised their knives and smashed them a few times, and the two sides of the trouble were instantly controlled.

The Feng Tingwei skillfully tied their hands behind their backs and tied them with ropes, carried the other end of the rope in their hands, and lined up in a string to take them all away.

The streets suddenly became extremely quiet.

Some of the stall owners next to them splashed water to clean up the blood stains, some were whispering, and some stall owners who were far away were not affected at all, and shouted loudly, a peaceful atmosphere.

Except for the faint blood stains on the ground that proved the fierce fight just now, the people of Gu Dian acted as if nothing had happened.

Hua Wuyan stood stupidly in place, muttering to himself: "Gu Dian, what the hell is this place......
