Chapter 3 Press the sword and listen to the rain

It was raining outside the window. Suo Yinyu sat bored in front of the window. It's been two days since they entered the city, and although the battle with the Iron Mirror when they entered the city was amazing, the group still sank into the sea like a stone, and there was no ripple in Chixue City. There are many empty houses in the city, and as long as you can drive away all kinds of people who are borrowed, the house is yours. The six of them easily found a deserted courtyard, and after defeating several waves of people who also took a fancy to this courtyard, they could be regarded as having a place to stay. In these two days, Suo Yinyu found that unlike the legend, it would rain in Red Snow City. This reminded him of his hometown on the coast of the East China Sea and the ruined sect, and it also made him temporarily forget the embarrassment of being unattended and the threat of sitting on the mountain.

The door opened, and Liu Ling came in with a disappointed face. On this day, she ran all over the nearby dart shops and guilds, and also received a few rewards. But when the other party saw that she was a delicate girl, she eliminated it directly without thinking about it. made Liu Ling, who has always been good-tempered, almost get angry and pick that dart shop. Yu Xuehe saw that her face was not good, and comforted her: "It is inevitable to suffer some idleness in a strange place. Replace me tomorrow. Yu Wuhe said: "Why don't we also challenge those who have become famous like others to stand up for themselves?" Liu Ruo and Yu Yinghe agreed. Yu Xuehe sighed and said, "How can it be so simple. I'll try it again tomorrow, but if it doesn't work, I'll talk about it. ”

A lot of things have happened in the city these days, the most striking ones are the water and fire of Amber Linglong Xuan in the north city and the snow dance of the Spring and Autumn Chess Academy in the south city, and at the same time announced that the number one killer in the killer list was killed by its killers. Snow Dance has a folded right arm as evidence, and Shui Huo hangs out the hollow head in a high-profile manner. There was a lot of talk in the city for a while, but no matter what, Snow Dance lost this contest in the end. This annoys Yukimai greatly. Tsukiwa Mai was keenly aware of this, and quietly left the place where she lived the night after the double return of the gratuity.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the moon and dance walk on the empty Suzaku Street. No one intercepted them along the way, but the faces of the two became more and more solemn. Sure enough, under the archway that represents the boundary between Nancheng and Suzaku Square, there are two people standing. On the left is a short man with a hideous face, with a large sword that is a few points higher than himself, and on the right, a walker dressed as a long-handled demon pestle and five flying swords on his back. Yue and Wu stopped, and Bu Yuegui hugged his fists and said, "Do you have to be forced to force each other?" The giant knife in the dwarf's hand swung: "One move." Go or stay!"

Bu Yuegui listened to the words and calmed down, recited French, and turned his right hand towards the bright moon in the sky. Seeing that the light was shining, Bu Yuegui had already held a moon-white staff in his right hand. The dwarf and the walker looked awe-inspiring, and the moon had slowly floated, and the tip of the crescent-shaped staff seemed to reflect the moon, emitting dazzling light. Fu Wuju took the opportunity to rush forward, constantly pinching the magic with both hands.

"Be careful!" the dwarf rolled, and the giant knife slashed at Fu Wuju with sharp knife qi. Fu Wuju is castrated. Bu Yuegui behind him pointed forward, and a dim ray of light wrapped around the sword qi like water, unexpectedly eliminating the knife qi invisibly. Fu Wuju took this opportunity to rush to the archway, and the trick in his hand was finally completed. I saw her hands upwards: "Flowers are all over the sky!" A huge purple flower rose up, flew into the air and burst open, scattering petals like pieces of sharp blades to shoot at the opponent. At the same time, Bu Yuegui also groaned softly: "Full moon!" The full body of brilliance converged into a ball of light on the tip of the crescent moon, like an arrow from the string shooting towards the archway.

"Crazy Demon Slash!" The dwarf giant knife shook, and the sword qi scattered, colliding with the petals, making a series of sounds. The walker was just about to step forward, but for some reason his body stopped, and finally flashed to the side helplessly. Fu Wuju had reached out to catch the ball of light, and even rushed through the archway with the ball. Buyue returned to the road and said "goodbye", and his figure flashed, and he had already appeared at the location of the ball of light.

The dwarf watched the two disappear from sight, turned his head and complained to the walker, "What are you hiding!" The walker smiled bitterly, did not speak, and turned around. The dwarf could see clearly, and the walker had a few cracks on his back, and blood was dripping with blood. "Is it Fu Wuju?" asked the dwarf. The walker looked at the ball of light left outside the archway and said, "Someone is answering them!"

Lane of Departures. Yusugi walked slowly forward. At the end of the alley is Amber Linglong Xuan, where the young master of Chixue North City lives with water and fire. Shuihuo Yushan knows it, and has seen it a few times before, and has taken over a few businesses from her. But I never knew that Qin'er knew water and fire. Just yesterday, Shui Huo actually came to the door and picked up Qin'er, and Qin'er followed Shui Huo like a kitten who followed her master, well-behaved and cute. Let Yushan be depressed. After tossing and turning all night, he got up early and came to Amber Linglong Xuan for an appointment.

Approaching Amber Lingering. Although he had been here a few times, as he had been a few times before, he was amazed by the exquisite luxury of Amber Linglong Xuan, and then pushed the door in. When people who come here for the first time come in, their first reaction is to go out and see if they are in the wrong place. Because under the luxurious and exquisite appearance, the furnishings in the pavilion are extremely simple. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the room, and around the bonfire were intricately made mats, and next to it was a small table with teapots and bowls on it. If it weren't for the rows of pillars, one would almost think that you were entering a cave.

Yusugi walked over to the campfire and sat down, and Shui Huo poured him a cup of tea. Yushan was not polite, he drank it as soon as he picked it up, and said after drinking: "The tea leaves are worse than the last time." Shui Huo said: "This should be the case for people like you who don't know the tea ceremony." Yushan smiled, looked around, and said, "I didn't say you, you really should decorate it here." It's like a cave. Shui Huo said: "I have told you many times that there is no money after repairing the façade." If you're willing to sponsor it, I'll take care of it. Yushan didn't answer her and changed the subject: "Where's Qin'er, I'll pick her up." Shui Huo said: "I'm looking for the feeling of the past." The first time you came here, she hid behind and watched you secretly. Otherwise, do you think you can trick her back?" Yu Shan was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said, "Speaking of the first time I came here, I couldn't help but ask you. Every time I see you, I feel like the last time I judged the two of you, you won't be a twin sister. Shui Huo's eyes flowed, and he glanced sideways: "Guess!" and covered his mouth and chuckled, and said, "Okay, okay, stop gossiping, let's get down to business." ”

Yushan sat precariously: "But according to orders!" Shui Huo also looked solemn, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth always made Yushan wonder if she was calculating herself again. He was thinking wildly, Shui Huo had already taken out a portrait from his arms and handed it over: "Do you know this person?" Yu Shan took it, swept his eyes, and shook his head. Shui Huo picked up the portrait and spread it on the case: "You don't know this face, but you definitely know this person!" She stroked the portrait twice and spit out two words: "Jiang Li!"

"Yijian Jiangli!" As soon as he heard this name, Yushan could not hide his murderous aura, "Where is he?" Shui Huo said: "It's in the city." He was transfigured, but he couldn't escape my eyes. "Where is he?" Hasugi repeated. Seeing this, Shui Huo picked up the tea that had been cold and poured it on him. Yushan was agitated and came to his senses. Shui Huo put down the tea bowl and said, "He is in the Spring and Autumn Chess Academy, and now he is Xue Wu's most trusted think tank." Yushan said: "Are you afraid that Xue Wu will stand out for Jiang Li?" Don't worry, if Xue Wu makes a move, I will kill her." Come to think of it, that's what you want to see!" Shui Huo shook his head: "You're wrong. You can kill Jiang Li, but you can't move the snow dance. Because doing so would upset the balance. "Balance, what balance?" said Hasugi.

The water and fire continued the tea and said: "The so-called balance is that in this Red Snow City, the golden armor of the East City, the cold wind of the West City, the snow dance of the South City and the water and fire of my North City, all four are indispensable. If you kill Snow Dance, everyone will think I'm behind me. The Golden Armor and the Cold Wind will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to attack, and the southern city will become a borderless land, coveted by all parties. I don't need to say much about what will happen then!, besides," she said, pausing for a moment, "you may not be able to kill her." Yushan smiled dumbly: "Are you dispelling my idea of killing Xue Wu or are you provoking me to do everything possible to kill her?" Shui Huo also smiled: "How to understand it is your business." Yusugi stood up and tugged the portrait into his arms: "Okay, I should go back too." What about Qin'er?" Shui Huo said: "Go back by yourself." It's rare for Qin'er to come back, and I'm going to keep her for a few days. After speaking, Yushan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't say bad things about you." Speechless, Hasugi turned and walked towards the gate.

Seeing Yushan leave, Shui Huo took out a porcelain bottle from a few clicks, opened the stopper, and said with a smile: "How is it?" "Very good!" A trace of white gas overflowed from the bottle, and in the swirling room, Qin'er appeared beside Shui Huo with a lone Hongqin on his back. Just like the day she first saw Yusugi, but Yusugi didn't know it. Shui Huo looked at her, his eyes were full of love: "Actually, you have seen him a long time ago." He forgot, did you forget too?" Qin'er bowed her head and said nothing, sat where Yushan was sitting just now, picked up the residual tea, and said, "It's not that I forget, it's that I don't want to remember." Since he forgot, let it all start over. Shui Huo sighed and clapped his hands. Two men came out from behind the screen. It is the return of the moon and the dancing horse.

The two sat down. Fu Wuju patted Qin'er on the shoulder, and Buyue returned: "This time Xue Wu is annoyed and angry!" Fu Wuju said: "Water and fire, what you have done is too amazing." Shui Huo said: "No, will you come over obediently?" Bu Yue returned: "I know you are good for us, but ......" Shui Huo interrupted her: "No, Jiang Li is by her side, maybe he has already recognized you." Bu Yuegui sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you for sending someone to answer." Shui Huo said: "My own people, what are you polite." Then he sighed, "If I had known this, I should not have let them out of the city in the first place." There was silence.

After a while, Shui Huo said: "Okay, don't be sad about the past." I have already issued a reward to Jiang Li. It's just that the reward is average, and Jiang Li is famous. The only people who are willing to take on this business are those who have a deep hatred for Jiang Li, such as you. So you have to pay attention to everyone who comes to pick up the work, maybe there are your fellow disciples. Buyue returned: "I will." Shui Huo said: "It's not just that. From today on, we will do our best to make trouble for Jiang Li, make him unrestful day and night, and force him to ask for help. Fish out the person behind the scenes!" Fu Wuju said: "Speaking of the same door, I think of a person. Shui Huo said: "I know." It was you who he picked up at Suzaku Square. I should be in Nancheng to have fun with Jiang Li right now!"
