It is March, the flowers are like fire, the wind and rain are like smoke, the white smoke and rain shrouded all corners of the Shifang Continent, full of vitality, but also hazy This is called the 'Ethereal Smoke and Rain City' of the realm of the realm, there is a stone casting giant sword in the center of the city's field, the sword body is as white as snow, the forest is cold, and resolutely engraved the five big characters of 'Ethereal Smoke and Rain City'. The tip of the sword stands on the vast land, 100 meters wide, revealing the sword body above no less than 10,000 meters, towering between the clouds, which makes people dare not force their eyes

At dusk, wisps of smoke fluttered silently from the chimneys of various houses, and the fragrance of food could be vaguely smelled, while the damp street seemed quite deserted at this time, and the pedestrians dispersed, except for a stall located alone at the junction of the streets and alleys, conspicuously flying a white cloth, with four big characters written "Count the Destiny of Heaven". This stall has four big pillars to prop up, covered with yellow and green thatch, a square long table under the hem, a piece of wood is cushioned in the corner of the table, the paper and bamboo on the table are messy, an old pot floats with the fragrance of tea repeatedly, and a middle-aged Yin Jun Confucian sits behind the table, with a melodious temperament, a calm expression, and is slowly tasting the charm in the cup.

A thin-clothed young man about eighteen years old walked unintentionally on the street in this hazy twilight, his expression was quite lazy, and the corner of his eye inadvertently swept the stalls around him, and suddenly saw the four conspicuous words, "Calculate the destiny of heaven," he was stunned, as if he saw something interesting out of boredom, and then couldn't help but laugh dumbly, secretly thinking that this charlatan deception was so open, and he didn't know which fool was willing to be deceived. When he retracted his gaze, he saw the couplets on both sides of the pillar, and his eyes couldn't help but be attracted to freeze.

"People's hearts are changeable, how can they be divided into black and white. ”

"The world is treacherous, and there is always victory and loss. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and when he heard a few calls, he came to his senses, and said, "Did you call me?" he pointed to the tip of his nose.

The middle-aged man smiled, "Is there anyone else here?"

The young man looked around, shook his head, and said, "No, but what do you want me to do, do you want to tell my fortune?"

The middle-aged man smiled kindly: "Yes, you and I are destined, and I will give you a hexagram today." ”

The young man quipped: "Since you are so destined, then you don't need money?"

"If you don't get it, you don't need money, but if you get it right, you can pay. The middle-aged man was full of confidence and said, "Why don't you try it?"

The young man hesitated slightly, thinking that there was no big task in the No. 11 club these days, anyway, there was still some time before the evening, and it was boring to be idle, so he walked forward and pulled the wide chair on the side and sat down. Putting on a shelf, he said, "I don't know how this can be calculated, if it's not accurate, don't blame me for not having any money to give?" He wanted to make trouble, but wanted to see what kind of fame this person could make.

The middle-aged man was not frightened, his face was calm, as if he saw the prey in his mouth, he waved his hand and said: "There is marriage, divination, word splitting, predicting the past and present life and the future, blessings and sorrows."

"Gotta get it," interrupted the boy, "what are you best at, show me your hands." ”

The middle-aged man took out a paper and pen, put them in front of the young man, and said with a smile: "I am not very proficient in other skills, but there are two strokes of splitting words and telling fortunes, you can write down a word and see how the effect is." ”

The young man groaned slightly, picked up the pen in his hand, gestured for a moment, and then without hesitation brushed and wrote a crooked word 'sea' on the paper, and finally leaned back on the chair and looked at him silently.

After the middle-aged man saw that he finished writing, he smiled slightly, picked up the paper, shook his head and gently blew the ink on the paper, as if blowing on the girl's face, for fear that it would break, and then he calmed down, glanced at it, nodded lightly, and said confidently: "Your Excellency's surname is Hai, is it right?"

The young man was puzzled, and then smiled and said, "Is this a trick?"

The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, and reached out to make a gesture to ask for money.

"How much?" asked the boy boredly.

"Feel free to give it a little, it's up to you. ”

The young man threw an iron leaf to the table (note: the universal coins of the Ten Directions Continent, jade leaves, gold leaves, silver leaves, copper leaves, and iron leaves, with hundreds as advances, shaped like willow leaves, and thin as willow leaves, one finger wide and one finger long. ）

"You're right this time, but I'll have to keep counting. The young man's tone was very unconvinced.

The middle-aged man put the money away, put it in his arms, and then put a piece of paper in front of the table, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's write it." ”

The young man was indifferent, squinted his eyes and said, "It's still the word 'sea' just now."

The man nodded, and after being silent for a while, he said: "You are not from the Ethereal Wind and Rain City, let alone from the mainland, but from the other side of the sea, right?

The young man was stunned, and his body couldn't help but sit up straight, listening quietly, and then the middle-aged man stretched out his hand again and made a gesture asking for money.

The young man was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he was also puzzled again, took out the money, threw a copper leaf on the table, and said in his heart: "Count him lucky, it is not easy to guess this." ”

The boy did live on a small island that was not famous, his dream has always been to get out of this small world, to see what kind of world is outside, by chance a master came to this island, he took the opportunity to follow the big ship, all the way to get here, and finally worshiped the master as a teacher, but his master was chased and killed by the enemy three months ago, and he died, the boy in order to avoid the enemy, hidden in the misty smoke and rain city, to the adventure team to do things, always thinking that one day he can slash the enemy. ”

The young man recalled the situation at that time, sighed slightly, and said, "I still have to test, but it is still the word 'sea'." The boy, who had never believed in the other party, was now hoping that he would give him some of the answers he wanted to hear.

"The word sea?" The middle-aged man closed his eyes, and after half a ring, he said slowly: "This sea is not the other sea, the first two seas are easy to calculate, and the words do not need to be opened, and now this 'sea' is extraordinary, although it does not need to be opened, but it is not easy to speak." ”

The young man frowned and said, "But it doesn't matter, if you have to add money, it's not a problem if you calculate it correctly." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes slowly opened, and said: "This sea is your personal sea, it is a sea of blood and deep hatred, and you must be extremely powerful, and you are helpless for a while."

The young man was stunned, only hearing the first few words, and he had no idea what he was saying later, until he saw him stretch out his hand, he came to his senses and put a gold leaf on the table. Hurriedly said: "I still have to count, I still have to count." ”

The middle-aged man stood up, yawned, stretched his waist, shook his head and said: "Don't forget it, don't forget it, one person can only divinate three hexagrams a day at most, and if it is more, it will not work, you go back, if there is fate, we will meet again." As he spoke, he sorted out the paper, pen, and bamboo sticks on the table, put them in the bamboo basket, and left straight away with them on his back.

The young man looked at his departing back, and then came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Please also ask the Zhige to leave the name." ”

"The breeze and the March rain are coming, everything in the world is like dust, and there will be a period in the light dust. ”

The boy tried to say anything again, but the man had long since disappeared into the thick rain and fog. He said in his heart: "Maybe you may meet someone outside the world, but it's a pity that you just left." Thinking a little lost, he walked back to the Eleventh Clubhouse alone.

In this misty city, there is a huge and mysterious organization, called the adventure team, the people who perform tasks in it are called adventurers, and the adventure team is divided into many branches, such as hunting beasts, escorts, bodyguards, killers, intelligence, thieves, and so on

And the No. 11 club is a point of thieves, that is to say, a club dedicated to stealing, there is such a rule in the adventure team, no matter what kind of trouble the adventurer causes outside, as long as he stays in the clubhouse, he can ensure personal safety, because no one dares to mess with the people of the adventure group, and they don't know how strong it is and how powerful it is. Others only know that it is a point of a major sect in Supreme Fengyun City. But after leaving the clubhouse, life and death are fateful, and no one will pay for your life or death, this is its principle.

The boy has been in the adventure group for a few months, and he is a very famous thief in it, and he has not missed the task since he received it, and he is currently ranked second, and the people of the rivers and lakes call it 'Thief Saint'

The young man returned to the door of the No. 11 clubhouse, only to see a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body standing there, dressed in white, with warm eyes, looking at him and smiling faintly: "Haiqi, you're back." ”

"Yes!" replied Hatch, "Good shopkeeper." ”

The big shopkeeper nodded, looked into the distance, and said, "Come in, it's the so-called March twilight in the rainy city, the door is covered at dusk, and there is no plan to stay in the spring." ”

Hatch didn't know why he said this, so he had to be silent for a while, went back to change his clothes, and had dinner It was already dark.

The night was like ink, and the three figures walked into the eleventh club of the adventure group like ghosts, the three people, two men and one woman, the woman was in the middle, about seventeen years old, naturally beautiful, skin like cream, dressed in light green clothes, the figure looked concave and convex, with a jade nose and jade face, eyebrows and smiles, green hair like a waterfall, emitting misty incense.

The man on the right looks two or three years older than her, dressed in black, with a nose like an eagle, a cold face, and his eyes exude a cold ice that makes people look at it directly, and the man on the left is quite young, about fifteen years old, white and pure, with a little childishness on his resolute face, which makes people feel inexplicably cute.

The three of them walked lightly, like the wind to the door of the No. 11 clubhouse, and then an old man ushered in from the room, and said with a smile: "The three disciples of Mofeng Building are here, it really makes the wall shine, come and come, please come inside." With that, he led the three of them into the hall.

The hall is spacious and comfortable, with more than 20 tables and chairs neatly arranged, and there are seven or eight tables occupied by three or three guests, who are talking about something in their ears.

The three of them didn't care, and after glancing at it, they found a place in the most corner and sat down, and then someone made a pot of hot tea and asked, "Which thief do you want to talk to?" As he spoke, he handed over a thick book "List of Thieves", which recorded the names of thieves, as well as their specialties, and the size of the tasks.

The elder eagle-nosed man said coldly: "The thief has no regrets"

"This" the man's face looked a little hesitant, and said, "I have been missing for two years, and I still don't know if it is life or death, this is true" Looking at the cold eyes, he hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I will invite the shopkeeper to you." With that, he hurried away.

After a while, an obese middle-aged man in his thirties came slowly, pulled a chair and sat down to look at the three of them, and said, "Do you want to find out if you want to find out by name?"

"Is there a better candidate than her?" said the eagle-nosed man as he sipped a cup of fragrant tea alone.

"Since the last time you named him, the mission has been completed, but then he has been missing until now, I think the enemy has already killed him, so I'm sorry, I can't find this person. The big shopkeeper said mercilessly: "Every mission you have issued has caused our side to suffer a loss, and this is the fifteenth time. ”

"Hehe, is it," the eagle-nosed man said in a deep voice: "What are you doing, you won't forget it, don't say fifteen losses, it's one hundred and fifty losses, you have to admit it, don't say that I, Lu Yuntian, don't know what's wrong, because this is the rule." ”

"Senior brother," the woman gently kicked him and whispered in his ear, "Don't forget the master's explanation." ”

The big shopkeeper's eyes sank: "You mean that I don't understand the rules, and you want to teach me how to do it?"

"How dare you, I won't say much nonsense, if there is no candidate, give it a good time. Lu Yuntian had no fear on his face.

The big shopkeeper's face was cloudy, and the three of them all had a feeling of depression at this time, if the big shopkeeper was unreasonable, they might not be able to live by themselves, after all, the loss of the family was too great before, and now they have to continue like this, provoking the other party to any benefit to themselves.

After a long time, the big shopkeeper took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said: "Okay, this is the last one, even if it is gambling money, there are rules, don't win others impatiently, don't blame the loser for not being able to afford to lose and will block the road and rob." I have rules too, you know?"

"Thank you very much," all three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they all bowed their hands.

Haiqi was resting in the room, suddenly received a message, hurriedly rushed downstairs, saw the big shopkeeper was dealing with the three people, he also wondered in his heart, "These three people have been here more than a dozen times, and each time they have not called themselves, is this time specifically looking for themselves to take over the task?"

Thinking that he had already arrived in front of them, the big shopkeeper introduced them one by one: "This is Lu Yuntian, the eldest disciple of Mofeng Building, this is Yan Daihe, the daughter of the owner of Mofeng Building, and the other is Li Ruonan, the youngest disciple of Mofeng Building. After explaining their intentions, he said: "This is the newly debuted thief Haiqi, known as the thief saint in the rivers and lakes, and the next time will be left to you to talk about." ”

Yun Tian got straight to the point and said: "Do you dare to take on a big task?"

"Say it," Hatch said.

Lu Yuntian suppressed his voice: "Steal the treasure of the Xinglong Tower, the second box, and you can open one." ”

"What are you talking about? Second Degree Box, what are you kidding," Haiqi's calm heart was a little shocked for a while, but he said with a smile on his face: "Even if I steal it, if it is found out, I'm afraid I won't have to walk out of the No. 11 club for the rest of my life, and I will take this pension to retire here." ”

"Do you mean that it can be done?" Lu Yuntian's calm eyes wiped an imperceptible surprise.

"Then it depends on the conditions you prescribe, if the conditions are good, you can try it. "Don't look at Haiqi's martial arts, he is still very sure of stealing, and the reason why he doesn't dare to do anything is just because he is afraid that he will not be able to use his life, so he is also in urgent need of a mountain that can be relied on. And find a way to practice martial arts well and avenge the master.

Lu Yuntian was silent for a while, and then said: "I see that the conditions I prescribe may not be to your liking, I am afraid that it will affect the cooperation between us, so you can open it." ”

"That's good," Hai Qi didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "I heard that there is still the last closed disciple in Mofeng Tower, and I want to be the last disciple of your master Yanmo, how about it?"

"This can't work," Li Ruonan hurriedly spoke: "This position is reserved for my sister Li Ruolan, and she is going to apprentice."

"You shut up for me," Lu Yuntian said angrily: "If you quarrel again, I'll go back and beat you." ”

Li Ruonan shrunk his neck and muttered in his heart: "It was originally so."

Lu Yuntian took a deep breath and said slowly: "I can't do this thing, so let's go back and ask for the master's opinion, and give an answer another day." ”

"Don't ask him," Yan Daihe, who had been silent, said at this time: "I'll be in charge of my affairs, and I'll leave my father's work to me." ”

"Senior sister," Li Ruonan's eyes were full of pleading.

"This matter is settled," Yan Daihe said, "I will ask my father to give you an explanation when I go back." ”

Li Ruonan stuck out his tongue and played with the table teacup in frustration.

Lu Yuntian arched his hand: "Then I'll wait for the good news of the Holy Thief." ”
