As the mountain protection array of the Shangzong of one side, the Nine Stacks Sword Array not only gave the Qingshan an impregnable defense around it, but also left a holy place for the cultivation of the sword cultivators in the array.

Qingshan Sword Cliff.

Fang Chen, who walked step by step from the stone steps into the second layer of the Sword Cliff, was unable to glimpse Zhang Ziping and the others because of the clouds and mist on the cliff.

So, Fang Chen breathed slightly for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the spot, his hands sealed.

In the first nine realms of martial arts practice, the lower three realms accept the spirit into the body to strengthen one's body, and the middle three realms of the Yuan Sea forge sword to achieve the origin.

And the cultivation in the Sword Cliff, the Sword Yuan Jue that assists in cultivation with sword qi is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Sitting cross-legged for a few breaths, under the operation of the Sword Yuan Jue and the Sword Yuan body, the sword qi of the four fields was already intertwined and swirled around Fang Chen's body into a huge sphere.

And in the center of the sphere, the young man quickly plundered these sword qi like a whale devouring them, turning them into sword elements in his body.

There was an illusory sword shadow slowly forming in the Yuan Sea of Sword Dao on that side.

Like an abyss.

......

As the saying goes, there are no years in the mountains, and for practitioners, time often passes quickly.

Since Fang Chen came to Qingshan, more than three months have passed quietly.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the New Year has arrived.

Although there are mostly cultivators in Qingshan, as the upper sect in Great Xia, no matter up or down the mountain, these new and old disciples still like the lively New Year's flavor.

Therefore, today Humble Peak is dressed in red.

The new disciples of Humble Peak, who got up early in the morning and were busy, set up several cauldrons on the gray and white stone platform of Humble Peak, and according to what Uncle Xiao said, Humble Peak ate hot pot today.

It's just that among the busy group of new disciples, Fang Chen and the other four disciples who held the inheritance sword weapon were missing.

"The Chinese New Year's Eve is really a good day, but unfortunately they are destined to not be able to eat tonight's reunion dinner." ”

Outside the green mountain, in front of the Knocking Sword Cliff that cut off the connection between Shangzong and the outside of the mountain, Xing Cheng, who was wrapped in a black robe, took a sip of wine, spit out a string of white gas in front of him, his eyes gently swept over a piece of white paper in his hand, and he shook his head and sighed.

"In recent years, the prestige of the Great Xia Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, Qingshan has set his sights on the northern battlefield, and the rest of the Shangzong have all been dormant, which has made the world more and more despised for the word Shangzong. Some so-called dignitaries and dignitaries who have only a little color on the court, and some small sects on the rivers and lakes that can be worthy of a few martial arts cultivators in the upper realm, all followed the night and the spies of the court, and inserted their eyeliner at the foot of the green mountain little by little.

However, since they dare to insert, Qingshan dares to pull it out.

Fang Chen, a few people on this list are the eyeliner of the patrol Sibu in Frost City, one of them is a four-realm cultivator, and four people are a three-realm cultivator, with the strength of a few of you now, it is not difficult to deal with these few small fish, go ahead. ”

Although he covered his eyes with a white cloth, a great cultivator like Xun Liu, he could completely rely on his mind to spy on the outside world, and handed another piece of white paper in his hand to Fang Chen.

"Yes, brother. ”

The four people who walked towards Frost City step by step with white scrolls in their hands all crossed the gate of the Lower Three Realms after Qingshan's short cultivation.

But the first time he shot his sword out of the world, he still had a little cowardice in his heart after all.

"Fang Chen, have you ever seen a dead person, does it mean that we are going to kill people with our own hands when we use our swords this time. ”

Zhang Ziping, who folded his hands in front of his chest and tightly hugged the inherited sword weapon pulled out from Jianling, after glancing at the few ink marks on the white paper without a trace, he first swallowed his saliva unnaturally, and then turned his head to look at Fang Chen, who was silent, and asked nervously.

seems to be because of his cowardice, Zhang Ziping unconsciously brought a bit of trilling when he said the word "killing".

"Brother Ping, in today's world, the Son of Heaven is in the court, up and down the mountain, and the rivers and lakes have long regarded human life as a mustard, since we have gone up the mountain to become a sword-wielder, then sooner or later the tip of the sword will be stained with blood. ”

On Zhang Ziping's side, Chu Jiang, who was carrying the sword weapon on his back, shook his head lightly when he saw this, and immediately reached out to put his hand on Zhang Ziping's shoulder, and comforted him softly.

"Zhang Ziping, didn't Fang Chen say that your father opened a restaurant in Frost City, and there are a lot of livestock slaughtered in the restaurant, and your kid has seen a lot of blood, so he will kill people as chickens, and he will pass with his sword in his hand. ”

Seeing Chu Jiang's words, Zhang Ziping was still a little uncontrollable trembling, and Fan A, who had his hands folded on the back of his head, turned his head and blinked, and said with a casual smile.

"Brother Ping, it's okay. ”

Fang Chen, who put away the white paper and raised his head, also smiled and patted Zhang Ziping on the shoulder.

......

Return to the Frosty City.

Fang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, Fan A restrained the cynicism in his eyes, Chu Jiang gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Zhang Ziping raised his hand to touch the hilt of the sword.

The four of them glanced at each other and entered the alley in the south of the city.

Say a pawnshop.

"Man, the master is going to be this jade bracelet, let you come over and palm your eyes. ”

Chu Jiang, who was carrying a long sword, walked in the front, the two wide-sleeved robes threw out a bit of richness with his casual steps, his eyebrows raised lightly, and before his raised feet fell to the ground, the arrogant voice had already reached the depths of the pawnshop.

"Okay, several, wait here for a moment. ”

The guy standing on the edge of the pawnshop counter seemed to have been in the pawnshop for a long time, and his eyes could see through these valuable things, and the moment he saw this jade bracelet, he knew that this object was extraordinary.

What a vajra hoop!

The man said as he walked towards the pawn shop behind the curtain.

"Brother Fang, let's talk about it, this bracelet was stolen from Erniang's boudoir by this son, after going to the drunken flower building this time, maybe my father will have to confine me up, and next time I go out, Brother Fang will have to pay the silver." ”

Seeing that the pawnshop guy disappeared from view, Chu Jiang glanced at the tea table used to rest on his side without a trace, gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and then reached out to put his hand on Fang Chen's shoulder, and said with a rather obscene smile.

"What Brother Chu said is that Brother Fang, as the cousin of the younger brother of the third lady of the city lord, is now the upstart of Frost City, and the next time he drinks flower wine, Brother Fang should pay for the silver. ”

As soon as Chu Jiang's words fell, Fan A, who had already held a folding fan in his hand for some time, raised his eyebrows, opened the lady fan in his hand, and teased Fang Chen.

"Haha, the two brothers said well, my father recently bought a house for my master in the west of the city, and when the time comes, let's pick up a few girls from Zuihualou and go to the house to have a good time. ”

After fifteen years of hard work in Broken Alley, although Fang Chen was not from a rich family, his quite mature mind still made the young man imitate those rich sons very well.

Fang Chen said as he threw the sword weapon in his hand to Zhang Ziping, who had a solemn face behind him.

Just as the four of them finished talking and began to wait, the gray-robed man who gently shook the teacup on the other side of the pawnshop got up and left his seat on the tea table used to provide the pawn with rest.

......

"Boss, I look at the appearance of those people who speak, they do look like the disciples of those wealthy families in the north of Frost Cold City, as for the cold-faced young man at the end, I guess which one is the companion boy.

As for the sword behind the four of them, it is not the appearance of Qingshan's latest standard sword, but the bracelet, which does look a little special, maybe it really has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Behind the pawnshop, the gray-robed man who had just left not far from Fang Chen's four people waved his hand to support the guy who had come in to report earlier, turned to look at the three black-robed men who were sitting cross-legged and cultivated, and said with a respectful expression.

Since the sword weapon is not the Qingshan standard sword, then these boys may really be prodigal sons who exchange money and drink flower wine, and they just need to contact the City Lord's Mansion recently, and these four boys will go to see each other.

Second, since the fourth said that the bracelet is a little special, you can also come over and take a look, maybe these idiots have stolen out the magic weapons at home, and maybe they can get some opportunities when the time comes. ”

The gray-robed man's words fell, and the leader of the black-robed people picked up a big coat and draped it on his body at any time, and smiled at the other black-robed man with a beard behind him.

Then the three of them walked out of the pawnshop together.

"Haha, the son of the City Lord's Mansion came to my little pawnshop, it's really brilliant, spontaneous!

Let me introduce myself, the contemptible surname is Si, and the first name is forty. ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper with a big black cotton jacket wrapped in his body first squinted his eyes and swept the swords of Fang Chen and the four before he smiled and stepped forward.

"I think this is the son of the City Lord's Mansion, he is really extraordinary, extraordinary. ”

Then he walked straight to Fang Chen, rubbed his hands with his eyes wide open, bent down slightly and smiled.

"The name of the shopkeeper is also quite famous in this Fuji Lane, my son came today, just to accompany my brother as this bracelet, the shopkeeper wants to give some fair prices. ”

Fang Chen, who was already carrying his hands on his back, had a bit of smugness in his eyes when Si Forty said that the City Lord's Mansion, and then turned to that unattainable arrogant appearance, and said in a tone full of pride.

"That's natural, Siyi, I haven't taken the jade bracelets of a few sons, and I have a good palm to estimate the price. ”

Seeing Fang Chen's posture, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly flashed a little bit of imperceptible ridicule, as if he was ridiculing these secular dignitaries of the Frost City, who were at the foot of the green mountains but had no qualifications to cultivate, so they could only pretend to be sword immortals with sword weapons.

Si Forty turned around as he spoke, and motioned for another black-robed man who followed him out of the pawnshop to take the jade bracelet in Chu Jiang's hand.

Then his eyes glanced at the sword weapon carried by Fang Chen's four people again.

Suddenly, I noticed that something was wrong.

One of the spies planted in Frost City by the Great Xia Patrol Division, after really getting close to Fang Chen's few people, he suddenly sensed a coldness.

It was the killing intent that the sword qi swept by.

"Not good, Four-One, kill them. ”

Then he suddenly turned around and slapped at Fang Chen, shouting at the black-robed man who was about to take the jade bracelet.

When the black-robed man heard this, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and his outstretched right hand turned into a fist, and he was about to slam down on Chu Jiang.

It's just that the sound of the fist has not fallen, and I don't know when he walked into Zhang Ziping's arms on Chu Jiang's side, Shen Yuan had already swept out under Fang Chen's sword, pierced Siyi's chest, and nailed it to the wooden table behind him.

At the same time, Fan A, who had walked out of the northern realm, had already held his sword to meet Si Forty, and stopped this palm for Fang Chen, who was distracted.

"Four-one!"

Three more exclamations rang out, and all five spies from the Great Xia Inspection Division appeared.

So, in a pawnshop, the killing machine suddenly erupted.
