Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter Seventy-Six Flowers Fall and Blossom, and the Knife Rises from Qingzhou
There is a big knife in the vast world, a knife falls in spring, and the cool summer breeze is broken, and then the Mid-Autumn Moon is chopped, and a winter snow is finally sent.
The name of this knife is annoying.
More than a year has passed since the fire in Qinghua Palace, and now few people mention it again, and Qinghua Palace has also issued a ban on saying anything to outsiders. However, there are two things that have caused some waves, that is, when the ancestral temple was sacrificed at the beginning of this year, the state lord personally announced that the second lady of the Hua family had run away from home a year earlier, so the marriage contract was no longer there. And Huang Ming, who proposed his relatives, was found out by the city garrison army because of his plot to plot the ancestral temple array, and was killed by five horses, in this regard, the people applauded, fortunately, Miss Hua Er did not marry that person, that Huang Ming is really a wolf ambition, deserved, no matter who dares to destroy the root of the human race, he will be sentenced to capital punishment and scolded by the world.
In this year, there is a tea house called Jiujie Hall that has become famous, but the interesting thing is that this Jiujie Hall is not famous for tea, not dim sum, but for the storyteller on the third floor. From the dignitaries and nobles in the inner city to the peddlers and pawns in the outer city, they all know that there is such a storyteller in the tea house who is the best at telling the secrets of the rivers and lakes, interesting stories in the world, and even the gods and soldiers of the major cultivators and masters know it clearly, and there are often shocking remarks from their mouths, I heard that even the great Confucian Ling Chunqiu called him a true hermit. However, this storyteller left the Jiujie Hall after the Shangyuan Festival, and disappeared without a trace with his granddaughter, who was wearing plain clothes and a white gauze hat all the year round, and disappeared without a trace.
In this year, there is a small Taoist temple named Zhongnan Temple, which is renovated, and the plaque on the mountain gate is not only "Zhongnan" but also has four characters to sign "Boyong's own book", which is the true work of the great Confucian Ling Spring and Autumn Period! However, when the literati are famous to come to see it, the plaque is taken off by a thin Taoist priest wearing a Confucian shirt, and the mountain gate is closed from then on, and the pilgrims are not waiting for pilgrims, which makes everyone regret it.
In this year, something strange happened to the Zhao family, who was called "Zhao Sanfen" by the world's scholars, who were originally knowledgeable and courteous, and the gentle and lovely Miss Mingzhu somehow became demented, and didn't say a word all day, the old man of the family, she only did what her grandfather asked her to do, otherwise she only knew that she stood in front of the window stupidly, or sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word. What's even more strange is that the head of the Zhao family didn't go to the doctor to see Miss Mingzhu, but just threw all kinds of affairs to the two unsuccessful sons, and stayed by Miss Mingzhu's side, except when he was sleeping, he almost didn't leave an inch.
In this year, the rivers and lakes are more chaotic, more and more warriors or Xuanmen monks travel the world, as if the pond fish into the river, some small fish and shrimp after getting used to it found that the rivers and lakes do not seem to drown them, so they summoned more and bigger fish and shrimp to roam the rivers and lakes, so uncomfortable. However, if there are more fish and shrimp, the water will naturally be extremely turbid, not to mention that there are big fish who want to chase fame and fortune, which is even more messy, whether it is a famous mountain or a big city or a small city, there are traces of monks everywhere.
Of course, this is a good thing for the people, at least there are fewer demons, and there are often demons that don't have long eyes, and they will be swallowed by this group of fish and shrimp who smell blood and swarm to swallow all the hair. The government army is also happy to be idle for the time being, as long as they do not act as traitors, do not disturb the people, and let them go.
On this day, outside the gate of Qingyu City, an old monk and a young man walked from the direction of the 100,000 mountains. The old monk is thin, the eyebrows and beards are white, the beard is more than half a foot long, and the eyebrows are hanging down from the corners of the eyes two or three inches, the eyebrows are kind, it is a good look of a master, the passers-by who see it will unconsciously bow their heads and salute, and the old monk will also return the salute with his palms together, and chant the Buddha's name more than once.
The young man glanced at the busy old monk, pouted, and said, "Master, are you really not going to send me to the state capital?"
The old monk sang the Buddha name with others again, wiped the unnecessary sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, turned his head and said, "Good, good... It's not easy, the teacher only said that he would go to the state capital city at that time, but he never said that he would escort you all the way, how did you... Amitabha... Why did you learn to cheat after the trip to the Demon Valley? This is not good, you must know that the monks don't speak!" The old monk did not delay in returning the salute with the passers-by between his words, he and the fat Taoist priest entrusted Luo Buyi to the demon lord, in addition to the demon lord's request, but also felt that the demon valley was capable of different people, no, there were more birds and beasts, and there was a demon lord by the side to teach, it must be much better than the two of them to teach the disciples, as for whether Luo Buyi could accept those magical powers, the old monk was not worried at all.
This young man is naturally Luo Buyi, Luo Buyi looked at the pedestrians who were nearly twice as many as a year and a half ago, and then looked at the master who was very sincere and returned the salute when he saw people, and couldn't help but sigh that if he was allowed to go like this again, he was afraid that he would not be able to walk dozens of feet away from the Fulin Building after dark.
Luo Buyi wiped his chin, his dark eyes rolled twice, and he suddenly took the old monk's hand and ran away. The old monk was stunned for a while, but he was pulled to a halt by Luo Buyi, and Luo Buyi turned a deaf ear and only cared about walking like flying. So on the Avenue of Qingyu City, a young man in Mai with luggage and a satchel on his back collided with an old monk wearing a white monk's robe with the white dot of the moon to break through the crowd and go to the Fulin Building with a smile.
The Fulin Building is still like that, but there are more noisy people in the rivers and lakes, and there are few cultivators among them. However, some ordinary people are still frightened by the arrogant guys, and occasionally the local regulars dare to come here at the risk of being spewed in the face by those guys, and then they dare to order a dish or two in the corner and eat slowly. This situation has lasted for nearly half a year, and the angry proprietress has raised the prices of all dishes by 30%, and they are almost catching up with the happy building on the next street.
Hua Yun is also helpless against this situation, they are all door-to-door diners, and they can't drive everyone away when they open a restaurant to do business, right?
"Big duck eggs, the old lady is a big girl with yellow flowers, looking at them, she almost vomited nausea, if it is passed out, how can you get married?" Hua Yun sat behind the counter and crackled the accounts, while muttering non-stop.
There are more and more diners in the restaurant, so the first person under the proprietress of Fulin Building, the shopkeeper Erlin Erdan, privately added a table in front of the counter, anyway, the place is so big, it is crowded. Hua Yun didn't say anything about this, and Quan Dang didn't know that there was such a thing. Although Lin Erdan has been much better after more than a year of cultivation, she is still fragile and cries non-stop holding her legs from time to time.
But Hua Yun really wants to scold Lin Erdan to death now, Guy sat a fat-faced man at the table facing the counter, and the bloated chin was about to catch up with the pig's buttocks, the key was that the man ordered food but didn't eat, but kept smiling at her, drooling while laughing. Hua Yun's evaluation of others is pickled, and in addition to thinking that he is pickled, he also has to add words that Hua Yun doesn't want to think about, such as burying and disgusting. In addition, this person was still stubborn just now and had to go up to the second floor, and told him that the second floor was not open to guests, but he couldn't listen to it, and finally looked at the table in front of the counter, and drove away the two local regular customers who were originally on this table, not to mention, and only ordered a vegetarian dish and smiled at Hua Yun, which is really angry.
"Uh..." was another wave of nausea. Hua Yun angrily slammed the account book on the counter with a "bang", glared at the fat-faced man fiercely, put the account book under the counter and walked to the backyard, out of sight and out of mind, he could simply hide and be quiet.
As soon as Hua Yun left, two people came from outside the door of the restaurant, these two people were a layman and a monk, a young and an old, it was Luo Buyi and the old monk.
"Amitabha, it's not easy for you to slow down, there are many ordinary people here, don't hurt them!"
"Master rest assured, disciple saved. ”
Luo Buyi smiled and pulled the old monk into the door of the Fulin Building, but the first floor was full of diners and full of seats, and Lin Erdan and Hua Yun were not there, so he simply led the old monk to the second floor.
But when Luo Buyi just stepped on the stairs, a loud shout sounded from behind him: "Bold, thieves are not allowed to go to the second floor privately!"
The footsteps moved, and the figure followed, and Luo Buyi stood in front of the old monk. Although he knew that his master would not be afraid of this kick, but he was still beside him, as an apprentice, how could he let the master father automatically kick it, and then raised a kick and kicked it in the center of the other party's foot with great accuracy, kicking it out of the restaurant door from mid-air.
The fat figure let out a miserable howl, and it was two feet away from the staircase on the second floor, even if the fat man was a yellow-level master, he would have to break his muscles and bones. Although the fat man screamed in pain, he got up from the ground again, pulled out a cold dagger from his waist, and his eyes were full of fierceness, and he ran away from Luo Buyi.
"Lao Tzu killed you!"
Luo Buyi couldn't help frowning, not to mention that he had been on the second floor several times, and there was no such thing as going to the second floor privately, and this fat man first wanted to hurt people, and then used the dagger as a murder weapon to kill himself, which was too wrong.
So he drew the black knife from behind his back, and before the fat man's dagger was about to stab himself, he swung the handle upside down from the bottom to the top, and easily cut the dagger in two, and the fat man had only a wooden handle left in his hand.
"I, my cold iron dagger!" the fat man was distressed but didn't dare to move the slightest, because Luo Buyi's blade was only the slightest distance from the fat man's face, and the fat man was so shocked that the thick brocade clothes on his back were wet.
Lin Erdan was originally playing tricks with Lao Zhangtou in the back kitchen to eat, but when he heard the noise outside, he hurriedly went out to take a look, wasn't that Luo Buyi? Although there have been some changes, he can still recognize it at a glance. Seeing that the fat man who insisted on going up to the second floor was holding a dagger and stabbing Luo Buyi first, he didn't have time to stop it, Luo Buyi's black knife was already holding it upside down in the other party's face, so scared that Lin Erdan hurriedly ran over.
"What's the matter, what's the matter? Don't fight, why are you still killing people with a dagger!" Lin Erdan pushed the fat man away and protected Luo Buyi in front of him, his own people, he had to protect him better than he could fight, and besides, Luo Buyi was younger than himself, who would he protect if he didn't protect him?
Maybe it was two steps away from Luo Buyi and he was safer, the fat man pointed to Luo Buyi's nose and said, "You, you wait! I'll ask my father to take someone to arrest you! And your dilapidated restaurant, I'll tear it down for you when I turn around!" After speaking, he ran out of the door, and his footwork was extremely flexible.
"Little boss, put the knife away quickly, look weird and scary!" Lin Erdan pointed to Luo Buyi's black knife and said, as for what the fat man said, he didn't take it to heart at all, since there were more people in the rivers and lakes, he would hear similar words on the street almost every once in a while, isn't it strange to see it.
Luo Buyi smiled when he heard this, resealed the black knife behind his back, and asked in a very chic manner, "Where is my sister?"
Lin Erdan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he didn't understand the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes, even if his boss was a big master, he didn't want to understand, he just felt that everything was better than peace, at this time, when he heard Luo Buyi ask about Huayun, he first looked at the counter, and then turned around with his eyes, and also wondered: "What about people?"
"Lin Erdan, you big duck ball, why are you making such noise?"
This person can't stand the chatter, no, from the entrance of the backyard, Hua Yun opened the curtain and scolded and trotted out, seeing Lin Erdan was just about to scold, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Luo Buyi standing at the staircase behind Lin Erdan, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you back?" But as soon as she was halfway through, she saw an old monk standing behind Luo Buyi looking at her and smiling, and she couldn't help but be stunned and knelt on the ground with a plop.
At this time, the black knife behind Luo Buyi's back once again unsealed itself, took off, circled around several people twice, and inserted it in front of Hua Yun with a "bang", and the blade trembled slightly, as if telling endless joy.
"yes, I'm back. Luo Buyi tilted his head and smiled.
