Chapter 15: The Seven Xuanmen
At dusk, the gloomy sky dyed the rocks on both sides of the river black and blue, and there was a faint mist on the river.
A black canopy boat sailed down the river to the ferry on the riverside, the ferry is not big, but there is a huge stone standing next to it, which is engraved with two vermilion characters of 'Qixuan'.
Standing on the blackboat, Night Terror raised his eyes to look at the distance, and asked:
"What does this 'Seven Secrets' mean? What are seven powerful skills? ”
Inside the canopy, Zhe Yunli was dressed as a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes, and was looking at the riverside towns with a clairvoyant mirror, and explained when she heard the voice:
"Qixuanmen is a local sect in Tiannan, which has been passed down for more than 200 years, and the founder of the mountain is a miscellaneous family, who can strike iron, refine medicine, watch feng shui, practice things, etc., so he gave the name of Qixuanmen.
"The scale of the Seven Xuanmen was originally not large, there were ten small sects with more than ten people, and when Fu Lao came out of the mountain, because of his generosity and medical skills, it slowly developed, and the main industries were pharmaceuticals and casters, and the kung fu could only be said to be average.
"After the death of the old head of Fu, the Qixuanmen was suppressed by the Medicine King Valley, and few people came here to see a doctor, and now the main industry is to fight weapons......
Night Terror Hall knows that the Valley of the Medicine King is the place where the 'Medicine King Li' is located, and the jade dragon paste made by it has a wonderful effect on treating internal injuries and bruises, not to mention that it can also be used as a lubricating thing in the hands of some people, used to assist in watermelon pushing, finding another way, etc., which is a necessary thing for masters to walk the rivers and lakes.
Hearing this, Night Terror Hall said unexpectedly: "Medicine King Valley is also a sect of Tiannan? ”
"That's natural, but it's in the south of Yanzhou, a little far from here, close to Thousand Crane Villa."
"I used to think that there was only one official city in Tiannan."
"How is this possible. Tiannan is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although before the old gods came, it was not as lively as it is now, but since ancient times, masters have retreated, and they like to run here to live in seclusion. Moreover, Thousand Crane Villa and Pingtian Sect are all Tiannan forces, not old immortals, and they are more powerful than any other place......
……
While chatting like this, the canopy boat slowly leaned against the riverside, and the two went ashore together, heading to the distant town.
After locking up the suspect last night, Night Terror Hall returned to the boat to say hello, and then set off with Yunli and rushed towards the Qixuanmen.
Qixuanmen has been close to the South China Sea, only more than 100 miles away from the official city of the sea, but its gate station is not in the riverside, but the rear of the town, there are still more than ten miles away, relying on decades of operation, the scale is not small, standing on the riverside you can see the magnificent buildings, and the people of the rivers and lakes walking around nearby are countless.
Although it looks like a big sect, the Night Terror Hall is already invincible in the world, and it is really difficult to be jealous of an opponent of Zhao Hongnu's level, and this trip can only be regarded as taking Yunli experience.
After coming to the town, Night Terror Hall first had a light meal with Yun Li, and after a little news from the rivers and lakes, he made sure that Fu Tongsheng was inside the door before heading towards the Seven Xuanmen.
Zhe Yunli was in front of the Night Terror Hall, although he was full of security, he did not underestimate it in his heart, and he also analyzed it seriously while walking:
"Purple Cloud Sword Fu Tongsheng is not high in external martial arts, and he is fat, he doesn't look like a master at first glance, but if it is pretended by Zhao Hongnu, his hidden ability is definitely not small.
"When Zhao Hongnu escaped from the capital, he was already a midstream grandmaster, and he was cultivated by the imperial court since he was a child.
"Qixuanmen is good at medicine and casting, and he also has research on feng shui, and the use of poison and mechanism formations is definitely not ......"
Night Terror Hall walked in front of him, and did not respond to this, but closed his eyes and carefully sensed the situation inside the Seven Mysterious Gates.
As a result, it was soon found that there were more than 200 breaths walking around in the Qixuanmen, and there was a strong and horizontal breath in the center, just like a bright light in the night sky, it was difficult not to see it.
Finding a person who is suspected of being the target customer, Night Terror admonishes:
"This person is very powerful, be careful, don't be reckless, and act according to my command."
Seeing that the night terror hall was serious, where did he dare to be reckless, he followed behind him at the moment and asked:
"How do we get in?"
The Night Terror Hall didn't know if the other party was the real murderer, so he couldn't see his face, so he directly razed the entire Qixuanmen to the ground, and came to the Qixuanmen first.
Qixuanmen is not a sect that is good at martial arts, its strength is refining medicine and fighting weapons, because it is very close to the official city, the wounded medicine and weapons of the Jianghu people basically have to be supplied here, for this reason there are many Jianghu people, and the scale of the sect is also quite large, the west side is the medicine workshop, and the east side is the place where the casting is made.
In the middle of the sect, it is the same as the normal sect, there is a large archway outside, with the name of the sect, and after entering the door, it is a large venue, which is used for gatherings or disciples practicing martial arts; Further back are the halls, living quarters, and so on.
The sky is getting dark, and there are few people walking around outside the Qixuan Gate, but there are still two disciples standing under the archway, watching the door while receiving outsiders.
Seeing a young man and woman wearing a hat coming to the door together, one of the disciples walked down the steps and saluted:
"Dare to ask who the two young heroes are?"
Night Terror Hall came to the archway with Yunli and casually made up a name:
"Guan Yun of Qianhe Villa, the master of the family, Sun Wuji, traveled to the official city on this trip, and came to meet Master Fu through here, and I hope Your Excellency will report it."
"Guan Yun ......"
The disciples who received it obviously had never heard of this name, but the names of Thousand Crane Villa and Sun Wouji were known to everyone in the rivers and lakes.
Although the disciple was a little suspicious, he falsely reported that the family came to ask to see the head of the faction, and if he was found out, he would have to break his leg, normal people would not do this, he thought about it and nodded:
"It turned out to be Guan Shaoxia, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I haven't seen it before. The two of you will go to the living room and sit down, and I'll go and report it. ”
"I'm in trouble."
……
——
Earlier, inside the Seven Xuanmen.
In the study where the head of the house is located, Zhao Hongnu is sitting on the Taishi chair, wearing a brocade robe, with very good workmanship, but with a round face and a general's belly, and a fat body, he does not look like a martial artist, but like a businessman who has been in the business all year round.
In the afternoon, Zhao Hongnu held a cup of tea in his hand, his rather rich face was frowned, and he looked at the golden toad ornaments on the table.
And at the window, the second master of the Seven Xuanmen, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, was saying:
"According to the news, the Night Terror Hall has left the capital, and the rivers and lakes are rumored to come to Guancheng, and the next target of the Night Terror Hall must be Fengguancheng. The Night Terror Hall has a lot to do with the Heavenly Sect, and with his ability, it is easy to find out what happened back then, so we still have to find a way out as soon as possible......
Zhao Hongnu put the teacup on the table, leaned on the back of the chair and sighed:
"Let's go?"
"What about the things explained above? And so many people ......."
"Back then, it was indeed the above who helped me escape from the capital, and it was also the above who got a new identity and became a distant nephew of Fu Lao who had never met. I should have repaid the grace of such reinvention and kept an eye on Tiannan's movements, but when it came to this situation, I couldn't wait for death here. ”
The second master is the subordinate of Zhao Hongnu's development, and at this time, he also saw that the green bandit was about to be in trouble, and he had no opinion on the proposal to go away and fly high, but he was a little worried that the green bandit would clean up the portal, after all, the green bandit could even raise a character like Beiyunbian, and the green bandit's wrist was not much softer than the night terror.
The second master pondered for a moment and asked;
"Anyway, what is the purpose of doing this? Can you tell me about it? ”
Zhao Hongnu shook his head and said, "Why do you ask so much?" Keep looking for news. ”
The second master nodded, didn't say more, turned around and walked out of the room.
After Zhao Hongnu waited for people to go out, he leaned back on the chair and secretly pondered, thinking about the way back.
The Night Terror Hall has no opponents, the next stop must be Tiannan, and it has a lot to do with the Peace Heavenly Sect, as long as he comes, it is likely that he will be found on his head.
Although the family business laid in the past 20 years is large, it also has to have a life, and the gambling night terror can not be found, obviously the risk is too large, and the best choice at present is to take it as the best policy.
As for whether he will be dealt with by the green bandits after leaving, Zhao Hongnu is not too worried, the green bandits do not have many manpower at present, he finds a place to live incognito, how can he have time to find him This little miscellaneous fish, even if he finds it, he can live for a while longer, it is better than dying in the hands of the Night Terror Hall now.
Thinking of this, although Zhao Hongnu was reluctant to give up the great foundation, he still put his life first, got up and began to clean up.
But unfortunately, before he could pack up his things, there were footsteps outside, and then the voices of the disciples inside the door came from outside the courtyard:
"Head, a person who calls himself Guan Yun of Thousand Crane Villa came to visit and said that his master is Sun Wuji."
"Guan Yun?"
Zhao Hongnu frowned, looked outside, and asked:
"Aren't you young, handsome, dressed in black?"
"Uh...... The boss is really like a god. ”
“……”
——
It was completely dark, and the lights were lit up in the Seven Gates, and the disciples could be seen walking around the corridors from time to time.
In the wide hall in the center, Night Terror Hall and Zheyunli sat quietly on both sides of the tea table, and the teacups in their hands were steaming faintly hot.
Zhe Yunli was sitting in a precarious position and was full of femininity, but her eyes were observing left and right, and she said in a low voice:
"Why hasn't it come out yet?"
The Night Terror Hall leaned back on the chair, secretly observing the movement in the Seven Xuanmen.
It turned out that the 'bright light' in the depths of the sect, after receiving the report from the disciple, walked around the house, looking at the tracks, it seemed to be packing things. Then he went out through the door and walked cautiously towards the back of the sect......
?
Night Terror Hall didn't expect this Zhao Hongnu to be so clever, and he actually guessed that Lord Yama had come to the door, and when he saw that the other party still wanted to escape, he raised his hand and hooked it lightly.
Sa –
The cups placed on the tea table immediately spun out, turning into off-string arrows that shot out of the window, drawing an arc above the Seven Xuanmen and shooting directly at the back of the building complex.
In the back alleyway, Zhao Hongnu suppressed all his breath and walked carefully to the back door, so as not to alarm the living Hades outside with too much movement.
Hearing the sudden sound of breaking wind, Zhao Hongnu frowned, and raised his right hand without turning his head.
Boom~
The teacup that shot out immediately hit the palm of his hand, and a burst of mist burst into the air.
Zhao Hongnu's martial arts skills are not low, the teacup in his hand is not broken, but his wrist is lightly turned and he unloads all his strength.
And when he turned around, he was also shocked to find that a figure in a black robe was already standing at the other end of the aisle, looking at him calmly, just like the Nine Shadows Yama who came to the door silently!
!!
Zhao Hongnu's face changed suddenly, and his body immediately froze in place, and he didn't move.
Call~
The speed of Zheyun Glass was definitely not as fast as that of the Night Terror Hall, and it was a little slower before jumping down from the top of the house and landing on the side of the Night Terror Hall.
Seeing a fat man with a big belly and a round face standing in the Dao, and a package hanging on his shoulder, Zhi Yunli knew that he was the head of the Qixuanmen, and he was a little puzzled:
"Master Fu, what are you doing?"
Although many years have passed, Zhao Hongnu saw Zheyunli's face, and still saw the origin of his bloodline, his heart sank a little, and after a little consideration, he threw the teacup into the flower bed, showing a bit of a heroic posture:
"People in the rivers and lakes pay attention to whether they change their names or their surnames, and characters like Night Heroes are necessary to cover up when they are in the lower house?"
After Night Terror Hall lost one-handedly, his expression didn't change much:
"I'm not sure, I'm afraid I'll disturb the innocent, but now it seems like I'm too worried. Are you Zhao Hongnu? ”
Zhao Hongnu did not deny it, and after staring at the Night Terror Hall for a moment, he glanced at the Zheyun glass next to him:
"Night Hero is here to avenge this girl's parents?"
?
Zhi Yunli was originally playing a cold heroine, but when she heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then her eyes shook slightly, and she turned to look at the night terror hall next to her.
The night terror hall did not hide anything, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, and when they can't take revenge, they can hide it first, so as not to leave a knot in Yunli's heart, and they have found the murderer to prepare for revenge, if they still hide it, then what does this revenge have to do with Yunli?
If you want to settle a grudge, you must know why you killed the other party, and you must let the murderer know why you were killed. If you don't know that you killed the enemy, or that the murderer died unclearly, then the revenge is obviously not in place.
Hearing Zhao Hongnu's words, Night Terror's expression did not change, and he just asked:
"I came here today to settle the case in the palace that year, and the enmity between the couple of the Peace Heavenly Sect. But before I do it, I still have to ask, why did you kill that couple from the Pingtian Sect? ”
When Zhao Hongnu saw the living Lord of Yama, he knew that he couldn't walk out of this alley, so he thought about it and said:
"If I tell the truth, can the Night Boy give me a chance to fight head-to-head?"
After the Night Terror Hall lost one-handedly, it was very generous about this:
"I'll let you make a move first, whether you can escape or not depends on your own ability."
Zhao Hongnu took off the package on his shoulder and threw it on the ground:
"When I was young, I saw the son of Emperor Yan Gong in Yun'an, and he looked very similar to the man in that couple, and guessed that he was the prince of the previous dynasty. I used to be on an errand in Yun'an, and I knew that one of the Minglong pictures was taken to Nanxiao Mountain by Emperor Yan Gong, and I felt that on him, I wanted to snatch it at that time, but unfortunately I miscalculated......"
Zhi Yunli was brought up by her master and mother since she was a child, and she actually had no concept of her biological parents, but she knew her life experience, and she also understood that she saw two swords in the inn, which belonged to her biological parents, and she still had a strong grudge in her heart, and secretly gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Hongnu, without saying anything.
Night Terror didn't expect a motive for the killing, and simply guessed that the other party had a picture of Minglong, but this motive was very reasonable, and it happened to be the same as Zhao Hongnu's previous conviction of entering the palace and stealing the picture and wanting to kill the princess. He thought for a moment and asked:
"Blood Bodhi was also arranged by you?"
"That's right. I'm talented enough to be in charge, but the old boss has never died, so I can only help him. ”
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
"Killing the teacher is a big crime, I can't be suspicious here, I originally wanted to destroy the mouth of the blood Bodhi, but this old boy was clever, he ran away with half of the pay, and he didn't come to take the remaining half at all."
Zhao Hongnu's words are very frank, without the slightest shame and regret, just by a few words, it can be seen that he is a scheming and unscrupulous person.
Zhi Yunli's mood was a little unstable, and he shook the knife in his hand:
"Don't talk nonsense with him, just do it."
Night Terror Hall also felt that there was no need to continue talking, but what he said still had to be counted, and his left hand was slightly raised.
Call~
The long corridor fell silent, because there was no moonlight in the dark clouds, only the afterglow of the lights in the distance, illuminating every inch of the alley.
Zhao Hongnu's hands drooped and kept opening and closing, obviously wanting to fight, but he was afraid of the great name of the 'Night Great Yama King' and made up his mind, and after looking at each other for a while, he spoke again:
"Night Terror, you are within the calculation of people every step of the way, and the end up is not much better than mine."
Night Terror knew that this was not a verbal blow, but an attempt to distract him with words.
This kind of way of interfering with the opponent is not uncommon in the rivers and lakes, but it usually has to be fierce, such as a mole on your daughter-in-law's buttocks, etc., which makes the other party angry and hysterical, and it is obviously useless to say that it is normal.
When Night Terror Hall saw Zhao Hongnu say this, he became interested:
"Why?"
Zhao Hongnu carefully observed the aura of the Night Terror Hall and responded:
"Back then, I was able to escape from Yun'an and take root in Tiannan, thanks to the help of the green bandits. The green bandits arranged me here to secretly observe the movements of Tiannan Jianghu......"
Night Terror Hall is not surprised by Zhao Hongnu's identity as a green bandit, after all, the reason why the green bandit is called a green bandit is because he is good at recruiting green forest bandits who are difficult to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Hongnu's background resume obviously meets the entry conditions of green bandits.
"What do you mean, the green bandits have been calculating me?"
"It's not a calculation, to be precise, it should be Gu cultivation."
Zhao Hongnu looked at the figure of the Night Terror Hall: "The Beiyunbian was raised above, and it was also with the same purpose, but you are more powerful than Beiyunbian, and Beiyunbian was abandoned." ”
Night Terror Hall bowed slightly: "The leader of the green bandits, what are you going to do when you raise a Gu King?" ”
Zhao Hongnu thought about this and said:
"It should be to deal with Fengguan City."
When Night Terror heard this, he knew that Zhao Hongnu was just an errand runner and didn't know it, so he responded:
"The green bandit is not a good person, how can the purpose be so simple. If you want me to see it, the people behind the green bandits have taken a fancy to my exercises.
"Gongfa Fengguancheng also has it, but it is obviously risky for him to take the things of Fengguancheng, so he wants to raise a 'Gu King' again to achieve his goal.
It is also because of this that he only teaches the martial arts realm of Beiyunbian, and does not teach actual combat experience. Because from the very beginning, he didn't treat Beiyunbian as an apprentice, but an embryo who could comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it didn't matter to him whether he was strong in actual combat or not, and he even had to guard against it, lest after Jiazi, Beiyunbian's realm, skills, and martial arts attainments would be invincible in the world, and he would become the next Fengguan City, and he couldn't grasp it. ”
Zhao Hongnu was silent, and he didn't have any doubts about this statement, but said:
"As far as I can see, the one above is not weaker than Fengguancheng, but he doesn't want to die together, so he didn't have the idea of fighting Fengguancheng, and it should be easy to deal with you. No matter how high your realm is, it is a hundred years different from Fengguan City's strength, and it is impossible to escape from the palm of your hand above......"
Night Terror Hall has seen a lot of things clearly at this point, and responded:
"The frog at the bottom of the well does not know the magnificence of heaven and earth. The opponent in my eyes is only Fengguancheng, even if his skills are deeper than Fengguancheng, in my eyes, he is just a barbarian who has practiced a body of brute strength and can only 'reduce ten meetings with one force', so why be afraid. ”
Zhao Hongnu saw that the Night Terror Hall was not afraid at all, and he didn't even help the leader behind the green bandit to take it seriously, so he naturally had nothing to say.
Night Terror Hall didn't ramble anymore, and raised his hand to tick again:
"Do you want the opportunity or not?"
“……”
Zhao Hongnu clenched his fists, although he knew that there was no possibility of winning, he still did not give up a glimmer of life, and his eyes gradually showed a heroic attitude:
"At your age, I am already the commander of the Great Wei Forbidden Army, and I have been living in seclusion for more than 20 years, and I have gained a lot of insights, but I am not a miscellaneous fish in the rivers and lakes."
Whew~
While speaking, Zhao Hongnu stood up straight, his robe swayed without wind, and his momentum began to climb steadily, showing an extremely strong oppressive force.
Zhe Yunli's eyes were cold, and he couldn't wait to go up now, but after realizing that the other party was not an ordinary grandmaster, or even an ordinary martial artist, he also realized that this ordinary looking fat man could knock her out with a punch.
For this reason, Zhe Yunli hesitated for a moment, but still retreated a few steps back and gave way to the position.
Night Terror Hall stood in place with one hand, and did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for Zhao Hongnu to make the first move.
Zhao Hongnu only had one chance to make a move, and he knew that it was impossible to kill the Night Terror, but at least he had to be injured and repelled, so that he could have a chance to escape.
And just when Zhao Hongnu was ready to go, the night terror hall that should have been concentrating on dealing with it suddenly sensed something, and turned his head to look in the direction of the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River, although there was nothing in the black clouds covering the sky, but it seemed to be looking at the gods in the air, and even the light and cloudy expression was a little serious.
Boom –
At this moment of distraction, there was a loud noise in the deep alleyway.
The disciples and people in the rivers and lakes who had not yet noticed the abnormality suddenly found that the buildings behind the sect burst into dust and mist, and the walls of the aisle were directly torn apart by the strong wind, carrying the masonry and stone forward.
And at the front of the impact, Zhao Hongnu strode wildly, his fat body looked like an oversized ram, and his right hand was wrapped with a terrifying force, and he came to the front of the Night Terror Hall almost in the blink of an eye, and punched the center door.
Bang –
The vast energy erupted at this moment, and the masonry behind the Night Terror Hall was all shattered, and the broken cloud glass was unstable on its feet, and it was slid backwards by the strong and powerful force, and the wall at the end of the aisle was instantly swollen and shattered.
Boom –
However, in an instant, the rubble and rubble in the Qixuanmen flew up, and a cone-shaped site dozens of zhang long was blasted directly into the building complex, and all the building bricks and tiles in it were shattered, almost razed to the ground.
Such a terrifying scene made Zheyunli gasp and look at the night terror hall with a punch in the middle.
As a result, he was shocked to find that the shocked cousin still maintained a one-handed backward posture, turning his head to look at the southeast, although he was deep in the center of the storm, it was like a needle fixing the sea, and he didn't feel the turbulent waves around him at all.
?!
Thundered~
The bricks and stones flew into the air, and the smoke and dust rose up in the Seven Xuanmen with exclamations.
Zhao Hongnu stood a stone's throw away from the Night Terror Hall, still maintaining the posture of punching with all his strength, but the right fist that hit the chest had been deformed, obviously breaking the phalange, causing the entire right hand to appear blue and purple.
But Zhao Hongnu didn't have the heart to pay attention to the severe pain at this time, but just looked at the black-robed young man in front of him in disbelief, with a dazed look deep into the bone marrow in his eyes:
"You ......"
Night Terror waited until the punch was over, and then his gaze was withdrawn, as for the feeling of being hit, he could only say - the midstream martial arts warrior gave up his life to strike, and it was not as good as Zuo Xianwang's casual punch; King Zuo Xian's sacrificing blow is not as good as a punch from Monk Shenchen; And the Shenchen monk sacrificed his life to blow him to vomit blood.
The gap between Dao and Xing is so huge, this punch can't break the defense at all, seeing Zhao Hongnu's unbelievable eyes, Night Terror Hall didn't waste his tongue, and raised his hand is a big mouth.
Boom –
There was a loud noise again in the Seven Xuanmen.
Zhao Hongnu watched his right hand raised, but he couldn't do any reaction to dodge it, and almost when he saw it clearly, his powerful palm had already fallen on the side of his face.
Then his head instantly deflected, and he pulled his body and flew out to the side, smashing through the tattered wall, and then through the house, almost turning into an oversized cannonball, which instantly passed through several houses until it smashed on the base of the verandah.
Whoa......
Although this slap seemed to be amazingly powerful, the force control was obviously exquisite, and it did not shatter Zhao Hongnu's head.
Zhao Hongnu knocked the pedestal out of a pit, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and after falling to the ground, he quickly bounced up, wanting to escape, but at this time:
Chokew-
A crisp knife sound rang out in the night sky.
Zheyunli almost followed, the speed exploded to the limit, and the long knife in his hand pulled out a line of cold light in the night, and without waiting for Zhao Hongnu to raise his hand, it swept past his neck.
Burst~
Outside the pedestal, a pillar of blood suddenly burst out.
The disciples and people inside and outside the Seven Xuanmen were already full of horror when they heard the movement, and when they reacted, they found that a round head flew up in the air and fell outside the main hall of the Seven Xuanmen.
"Huh~Huh......"
Zhe Yunli slashed his head, and he also tried his best, and after he succeeded, he stood on the verandah, holding a long knife and gasping, feeling that he should be a little emotional in his heart, but he was only at a loss in his mind.
This situation is actually the same as Night Terror, which was raised by his father-in-law since he was a child, and naturally felt regret and grief for his father-in-law's death, and he was unwilling to be angry at his father's hatred.
And his biological parents, Night Terror Hall has no concept since childhood, and finally learned about King Tianlang, he went to take revenge, and also took on the responsibility of reviving Xihai, but after doing what he had to do, he really didn't have the unforgettable emotional feeling of his father-in-law.
And Yunli has just learned this, and it is reasonable that he has not yet sorted out his thoughts and is confused.
Night Terror Hall understood Yun Li's current mood very well, and came to the front to comfort him:
"It's good to put this matter over and let my uncle and aunt rest in peace, don't think so much. Let's go. ”
"Oh."
