Chapter 3: Murong Nebula
"There are such chess masters in the world." Ling Yun has been instructed by his mother to practice advanced spiritual arts since he was a child, and he also has a slight understanding of the way of star chess. In addition, he had studied in Canglong First Academy for a year, although his spiritual power was exhausted, his knowledge was by no means short-sighted, and this kind of chess power was indeed ancient and modern. But he wasn't too excited. "Even if he is a good chess player, what does this have to do with the soul master?"
"After Wang Er's quick defeat, the entire West Market suddenly changed color, and the expressions of everyone looking at the chess master also changed in an instant, and most of the people who were not angry had begun to admire his superb chess skills, and some people even came up to greet him, but only the most direct ignorance was the response to them."
"Although the strength is overwhelming, but the self-pride is extremely proud, there must be a lot of people who are not convinced, right?" Ling Youyou asked beside him.
"There are many people who disagree with him, although everyone has admitted that he is excellent in chess, but everyone still finds it difficult to believe that he is allowed to be the ninth son, and it is still difficult for him to win, and there are as many as six people playing against him in the whole morning, including the other two of the three saints of the West City, Li Yi and Ma San."
"Naturally, these people can't be his opponents." Ling Yun said
"The matter is finally getting bigger and bigger, and the three major families of Izumo City and the Castle Lord's Mansion are also aware of it."
"I heard that Murong Xingyun, the young master of the Murong family, is obsessed with chess, and even the secret weapon technique of the Murong family that he practiced was made of chess pieces. With such a miraculous master, he should not miss it. Ling Yun said
"Yes, as soon as the afternoon arrived, Murong Xingyun took dozens of elites of the family and an elder of the Murong family to the West City, the Murong family has always been domineering, if it was before, it might still be able to be restrained, but in recent years..."Yue Wei seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and then changed the topic.
Ling Yun's head lowered a point, he used to be admitted to Tianlong Academy, the light was unstoppable, and even the entire Izumo City and the City Lord's Mansion had to give the Ling family a little more face, his decadence affected not only himself, but even the interests of the entire Ling family, his fists clenched tighter, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. But no amount of apology can change anything anymore.
City:
Murong Xingyun strode towards the West Market, and more than a dozen of the Murong family's disciples surrounded him like a moon. He was dressed in a loose robe made of purple satin, his figure was tall and tall, his appearance was heroic, and his body revealed a strange beauty, and a domineering posture with empty eyes. Between his index finger and middle finger was a white piece that shimmered with cold light, and the posture of holding the chess piece was coordinated and elegant, and he aimed the chess piece at a section of the wall next to the road, and with the force of his wrist, the chess piece spun out, and crashed into the wall with a loud bang, leaving behind the remains of the wall.
"The young master's star-throwing style is really more and more agile and fast, and I am afraid that no one in this Izumo City peer will be able to compete with you." A person next to him stepped forward at the right time and complimented him with a smile.
"Izumo Castle? What kind of cats and dogs are they, and they deserve to be compared with Young Master Ben? If it was Ling Yun of the Ling family a few years ago, he would still be a character, but now? Murong Xingyun shook his head. It's all a bunch of rubbish. ”
"Yes, yes, they are certainly not worth mentioning compared to the young master, not worth mentioning." A few drops of cold sweat broke out on this person's head instantly, and he wanted to pat his ass, but it seemed that he still patted it a little lighter?
"You, take a long-term view, what is Izumo City? What you should look at is the entire Tianyun Prefecture, young master, what I will do in the future is the strongest person in Tianyun Prefecture, and even the entire Canglong Empire, I will trample it under my feet. ”
"The young master has great ambitions, which we can never reach." The man hurriedly said.
"Is that chess master in the morning really as divine as you say?" Murong Xingyun turned his head and asked the other Murong disciple.
The disciple of Murong beside him was suddenly a spirit, and hurriedly responded, "It's true, it's true, that Wang Er is also a star chess master in the West City, and he never thought that he would let Jiuzi directly admit defeat without taking a few dozen steps." ”
"Useless things, all of them are scum in the market, but they can play a few moves of star chess and call them the names of the three saints in the West Market, I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable."
"With the means of the young master, he is far from being a marketman like Wang Er. If that person dares to let the young master have nine sons, the young master will definitely be able to kill that person and run away. The other person swore at this time.
"Jean?" Murong Xingyun looked at the man, his eyes revealing an extremely dangerous aura. "My Murong Xingyun has played countless chess games from childhood to big star, although I have also lost to individual chess masters a few times, but it is only a few slight differences, how can anyone ever let me win my son?"
"The subordinates lost their words, please forgive the young master!" This person is not the core disciple of the Murong family, let alone Murong as his surname, he did everything possible to mix with Murong Xingyun as an entourage, and when he saw Murong Xingyun's dangerous eyes, his face instantly changed, and he begged for mercy loudly.
Murong Xingyun didn't dwell too much, he seemed to be in a very good mood today, and said with a wave of his hand, "That's it, but this person seems to be really a top master of this way, and he played a few games with him, but it was not worth the trip." ”
A group of more than a dozen people said that they had come to the West Market, and the old man of the chess saint approached.
An old man sat calmly in the center of the West Market, and behind him stood two boys, a man and a woman, and the girl stepped forward, poured him a cup of fragrant tea, and then stood behind him. Although it is not yet summer, the boy around him has prepared a fan for him to blow the wind and relieve the heat. He picked up the teacup and blew lightly on the tea, taking a sip of the tea and putting it down.
Across from him sat a middle-aged man in gray, his brows furrowed, and he was thinking hard about how to make his next move.
On the chessboard, nine black chess pieces fell on the nine stars of the chessboard, white chess has also fallen about ten pieces at this time, but the position of the chess seems to be extremely chic and smart, black chess seems to be able to eat any white chess on the chessboard at will, but must pay a heavy price for it. Other whites will definitely take advantage of the weakness to achieve a strong counterattack against the sunspots. Although the middle-aged man has also played chess for decades, he can't find a good way to deal with it, and every move he makes is unheard of, unseen, out of all fixed moves, pointing to the east and west, unpredictable, everything can be discarded, everything can be born. This trick is unique in the sky, and it is by no means human. Only played more than ten hands, and the advantage of the handmaker had already lost most of it. He frowned and couldn't give birth to a trace of hope and confidence in victory, but against such a master, he was still willing to fight with all his might, although he was invincible, but it had indescribable benefits for his chess ability.
The people of the Murong family came from afar, and before the people arrived, the voice had already come.
"Murong Gongzi arrived, one by two for Lao Tzu to roll aside, move quickly, don't hinder Gongzi's Yaxing." The group leader was very popular, and while opening the way in front, he pushed away the crowd that had not completely dispersed. Not to mention the son behind him, the eyes of several entourages who stepped forward were full of disdain, as if they were not dispersing a crowd, but a group of cattle, sheep and animals. A few of them were slow, and they even took out the whips they carried with them and called them out.
The three major families have ruled Izumo City for a long time, and in recent years, the Murong family has developed rapidly, and it has faintly secured the position of the first family. Although everyone was not convinced, few people dared to speak out against it, and their figures flashed to the side, making way for the Murong family. But not everyone is so 'interesting' The young man in black stood in the middle of the road, his hands clasped in front of his chest, watching the chess game with relish. The minions beside Murong Xingyun were very unhappy, seeing that the young man was so calm and composed, they didn't move, and an entourage stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes and wanted to lift him aside, but after a few seconds, the young man in black still didn't move, and he was not affected by him at all.
The black-clothed young man turned around, a look of anger on his young and resolute face.
"Bastard, you dare to touch Young Master Ben's clothes." He raised his hand and a black spiritual power surrounded him, his fists unleashed wantonly, but a sword aura flashed out of the churning aura, although it was still immature, it was already quite condensed, and a fist quickly swung on the face of Murong's entourage.
"Smack!"
I saw that the people of the Murong family flew high, showing an extremely exaggerated curve in the air, and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that this person had spiritual power to protect his body, he would have lost his life with just this move.
Murong Xingyun walked forward, his eyes falling on the old man and his chessboard, until he heard a sound, he slowly moved his head forward, and stopped slightly in front of the black-clothed young man.
"Interesting." He muttered to himself.
At this time, the entourage that was beaten away also crawled back to Murong Xingyun from afar, he covered his head, the blood on his head flowed down drop by drop, and the left head had already produced an extremely large lump because of the collision with the ground, he looked at the young man in black, both frightened and resentful. Fortunately, there was an unclimbable mountain beside him to support him, he bowed his head slightly in front of Murong Xingyun, and said respectfully with a hint of grievance: "My subordinates cleared the roadblock in front of you just now, and they encountered such a short-sighted thing. His trembling hand pointed viciously at the black-clothed young man in front of him, completely oblivious to the strange looks of the other entourages around him.
He didn't get out of the way, but with a wave of his fists, he beat his subordinates like this. The young master's matter is spread out, and it is nothing for his subordinates to be wronged, but how can my Murong family suffer such humiliation? ”
"Oh? Do you want me to get justice for you? Murong Xingyun said in a calm tone.
"If you don't educate this person, what kind of majesty do my three major families have in Izumo City?" He said loudly.
"Are you really thinking about my Murong family when you say this, or do you just want me to help you get angry?" asked Murong Xingyun
"Of course the subordinates are..."
Syllable! Before he could finish speaking, Murong Xingyun slapped directly on the face of his other half, who was not seriously damaged, and the entourage who had not yet stood firm was like a kite with a broken string, and was once again fanned out.
"What do you want to do if you don't have long eyes, you don't have any eyesight at all? Murong family, you don't have to go back. He withdrew his palm, feeling like he had just flapped a fly, and Murong Xingyun looked at the young man in front of him with a smile. Younger brother Shi Lie, his subordinates don't understand the rules, so they smiled. ”
It turned out that the young man in black was the son of the Shi family, one of the three major families in Izumo City, but he usually cultivated his spirit behind closed doors, and few people knew his appearance, and the Murong entourage who made the move did not know this young man.
"The people of the Murong family are really getting more and more majestic, I really didn't expect that Brother Murong would be ruthless to others, and he would not be much more generous to his own people." Shi Lie smiled slightly, but the words he said didn't seem to be so beautiful.
Murong Xingyun's face also sank slightly, he was commanding all day long, and he couldn't tolerate others to treat him with the slightest contempt. "Oh? Listening to what Brother Shi means, he seems to have a bit of a prejudice against being an elder brother? ”
"I don't dare to take stereotypes seriously, but this style of acting like a mad dog everywhere really makes me feel disgusting."
"Oh? It is the problem of my Murong family that my Murong family does not know your identity and collides with you, and I, Murong Xingyun, have already punished him by example. But it seems that Shi Lie's little brother doesn't have the consciousness to get off the donkey down the slope? Murong Xingyun said calmly.
"The Shi family is human, aren't the people in Xishi human? I don't dare to compliment you on your arrogant and domineering style. Shi Lie responded.
Murong Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. "Hahaha, it turns out that my brother is complaining about these untouchables?" He laughed wildly, and at some point he held a crystal clear chess piece in his hand, which he swung at random, drawing a graceful curve in mid-air.
Syllable! The chess pieces slashed through the air and smashed down on the dense crowd of spectators, and one person was hit by the chess piece, cutting a huge wound on his body, and the blood flowed like a spring on the street of the West Market, and the man fell to the ground and died of life without a few struggles.
"The sea!" The sound of heart-rending weeping came from the crowd, except for the sound of some crying around him, and there was silence around the dead man, which set off the sadness of the crying voice.
"You!" Shi Lie pointed his finger at Murong Xingyun, his tone full of anger and disbelief.
Murong Xingyun turned his head and looked at Shi Lie, as if he had only done a trivial thing. "Oh? You seem to be angry? He doesn't know you, and you feel angry for him, but what about the people around him? I killed their loved ones with my own hands, but they only wept and grieved, and never learned to resist. He actually put his hand on Shi Lie's shoulder, and said to him in a serious tone, "We are different from them after all, some people are born to be cheap, they are incompetent, cowardly, selfish, self-interested, they are born to be controlled by the strong, trampled by the stronger. It's better for you to get used to these things, little brother, as soon as possible. ”
Shi Lie's shoulders dodged back, dodging Murong Xingyun's palm on it. The immature and resolute face was full of anger, "Murong Xingyun, don't tell me these so-called fallacies, the West Market is jointly owned by our Shi, Ling, and Murong families, and you are too rampant to kill people on the street here." ”
"Daddy! Daddy! I'll kill you! A child who was only six or seven years old rushed towards Murong Xingyun crying, holding a short two-inch-long knife in his hand, and his small body was so weak. His hand holding the knife was shaking violently from fear or anger. He rushed towards Murong Xingyun step by step, getting closer and closer.
Murong Xingyun didn't even glance in the direction of the child, he turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the entourage before turning his head, two entourages came out from behind Murong Xingyun on the left and right, and pulled out the long knife that glowed with cold light, the child stumbled to the front, and the long knife of one of the entourage was already swinging down in the air.
Boom! Shi Lie walked forward quickly, grabbing the long knife that was about to be cut down with one hand, his palm grasping the sharp blade, and not a drop of blood flowed out. The core spiritual skill of the Shi family, as a core disciple of the Shi family, he has cultivated to an extremely high level.
"Oh?" Murong Xingyun's face once again showed unhappiness. A chess piece appeared in his hand again, and this time he targeted Shi Lie, who was also the core child of the three major families. With a wave of his hand, the black and white chess pieces exploded towards Shi Lie in the shape of yin and yang, the black son headed towards Shi Lie's front door, and the white son hit the right hand who had just grabbed the knife with his bare hands.
Shi Lie only felt a vicious wind hitting his side, and he was extremely afraid of the Murong family's secret weapon technique, he first flicked away the blade with the knife entourage with his right hand, and his left hand protected the body of the child who was holding the knife to take revenge, and retreated backwards. It's a pity that it's still a step slow.
Syllable! Shiroko, who shot at his right hand, was narrowly dodged by his dodging figure, but Kuroko was not so lucky, although he missed the face door, he had already bruised his shoulder. The flesh that had been unharmed by the blades that had been slashed from top to bottom before, was bleeding dripping at the moment.
"Looks like you're going to see your nosy style through to the end." Murong Xingyun said with a gloomy face in the distance.
"The master has never had sand in his eyes, let alone this kind of evil act of disregarding human life. Even if I can't beat you today, one day you will have to pay the price for what you have done. ”
"Good! Good! Good! The three major families of Izumo City are the same, and I have treated you politely since we met, and you, Shi Lie, first insulted my Murong family as a mad dog, and then took action to stop my Murong family's actions, and it makes no sense for you to put today's matter at the family meeting, I will teach you what to do for your brother Shi Feng now! I, Murong Xingyun, are now proposing a one-on-one battle with you, do you dare to agree? ”
Shi Lie stood there for the first time but did not answer his words, but looked at the child he had saved. "Now you don't have the power to take revenge, don't be impulsive, there is no point in sending death in the past, go back."
The child's body trembled violently, he looked at Shi Lie, and his words trembled a little, "I... Know... But can I really do nothing? I'm not reconciled. Brother, can you help me? ”
"You've done a good job, but you don't have the strength yet, if you want, I can let you stay by my side and practice some Shi family's martial arts, and when you practice martial arts, you can rely on your own strength to take revenge."
Murong Xingyun's voice came from afar at this moment, "As a brother, I can't bully the small too much, as long as you can hold up ten moves in front of me, today's matter will be wiped out, do you dare to fight?" ”
"What..."
Shi Lie was just about to speak, an old man came into the air in the middle of the West City, he was old, his hair was gray, he was lying down, and he looked like he had half cut into the earth, but the aura around him was not weak at all. As soon as Shi Lie was about to fight, he appeared and interrupted Shi Lie's words.
"There's no need to go it alone, Murong Xingyun, you are really the first day of my Izumo City, and my junior of the Shi family is not your opponent."
After Murong Xingyun saw the appearance of the old man opposite, his mind was already half settled.
The three elders of the Shi family, Shi Dare to be.
"Oh? What does Elder Shi mean? Murong Xingyun asked with a puzzled look.
"Shi Lie is young and doesn't understand the rules, and he definitely didn't mean to go against your Murong family, I think this matter has been revealed, and the two of us are still safe."
"Then hand over that little ghost, none of the untouchables who are disrespectful to my Murong family can see the sun the next morning."
Shi Dangdang looked at Shi Lie, "Lie'er, hand people over." This person has nothing to do with my Shi family, so why bother to make the relationship between our two families tense? ”
"I don't pay." Shi Lie replied firmly.
"You!" Shi Dangdang pointed his finger at Shi Lie, looking quite displeased, and continued to ask, "Why is this?" ”
Shi Lie said in a deep voice: "Dare to be an elder, keep saying that this person has nothing to do with my Shi family, may I ask what is the relationship between him and the Murong family?" ”
Before Shi dared to answer, Murong Xingyun had already preemptively said, "This little ghost killed me just now, how can it be irrelevant?" ”
"Then why did this kid want to kill you?"
"Naturally, it's because I killed his father to avenge my father, so I don't want to step forward and do it."
"It turns out that you also know the reason, his father has no grievances with you, and even when you came to the West Market, they consciously made way for you, but you killed him."
"So what? I'm happy. They should accept whatever choice my Murong family makes, and if they don't accept it, they will die. ”
