Chapter 55: Heaven's Gate

The new capital of Western Shu, one of the three capitals of ancient Shu, since the Han Dynasty, has a history of 2,000 years, the enlightened king of Shu has migrated to the capital here, and named after the meaning of the new capital.

In the territory of Xindu, there are low mountains such as Liyuan Mountain, Fanyang Mountain, Chi'an, etc., meandering rivers such as Qingbai River, Jinshui River, Bihe River, etc., the shallow hills in the north and south are undulating, and the east and west are fertile and flat, and the county chronicles are recorded: "Looking at Longmen in front, Chongshi Mirror in the back, supporting the array map on the left, Jinshui on the right, the guarantee of Lierong City, and the thoroughfare of Gyeonggi."

Xishu theocracy is the most victorious, the new capital is no exception, in addition to the Baoguang ancient temple in the north of the city, the Confucian Temple, the Wu Temple, the City God Temple, the Wenchang Palace, the Guanyin Pavilion, the Wuxian Temple, the Great Compassion Temple, the Fire Temple, the Chuansheng Temple, the Dragon God Temple, the Niangniang Temple, the Cangshen Temple are all incense flourishing.

The snow was falling, and Ah Fei stood at the city gate, looking out of place with the people who came in and out.

Ah Fei has a very handsome face, his eyebrows are very thick, his eyes are large, his thin lips are tightly pursed into a line, and his straight nose makes his face look thinner.

This face is easily associated with Granite, stubborn, determined, cold, indifferent to anything, even to himself.

His back was straight, and his man was like iron, and neither the snow nor the cold, nor the weariness, could bring him to his knees.

The aura of not entering the living exuded by his body made the people around him subconsciously bypass him and stay away.

In the snowy weather, he neither brought an umbrella nor wore a hat, and the melted snow and ice flowed down his face to his neck, and he only wore a very thin piece of clothing.

Other than that, all he had left was a sword behind his back.

Strictly speaking, it was not a sword, it was just a piece of iron more than three feet long, with neither a blade, nor a jaw, not even a hilt, but only two pieces of cork nailed to it, even if it was a hilt.

In this way, he walked slowly in the snow against the snowstorm, and if anyone stared at him, they would find that the distance he took was the same, not a little more, not a little less.

Walking like this is the most energy-saving.

Until he passed by a certain tea shop, Ah Fei was stopped.

Since the abolition of group tea by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the tribute of only bud tea, the Ming people changed the habit of drinking tea in the previous dynasty, and brewed and drank fresh bud tea, and did not care about the tea drinking environment.

Between the springs and stones, under the pine and bamboo, at the entrance of the temple fair, in the downtown area, there is both clean air and down-to-earth atmosphere.

On the icy and snowy land, on a street, there are more than 10 tea shops selling tea alone, which is very lively.

Ah Fei stopped, and he was stopped by a young woman who looked to be twenty years old, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, and a bamboo flute was inserted in her hair, which looked refreshing and neat.

Maybe seeing that Ah Fei was good-looking, or seeing that he was pitiful, the woman beckoned Ah Fei to come in and drink a bowl of hot tea.

The young man hesitated for a moment, as if he felt the woman's kindness, and finally turned around and walked into the tea shop.

Entering the tea shop, the cold wind and snow outside were all blocked out, and the proprietress motioned for Ah Fei to sit on an empty table in the corner, and filled him with a large bowl of steaming tea from the tea barrel.

The tea shop was not big, with only six or seven tables, but the table top was very clean, nothing greasy, and the proprietress was obviously a diligent person.

Several of the tables were already filled with guests, and one table was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, like a businessman running the rivers and lakes.

At the other table, there were a few Jianghu guests, swords leaning on the edge of the table, tea bowls and snacks in front of them, drinking tea and chatting, when they saw Ah Fei coming in, they skimmed away a few contemptuous glances and ignored them anymore.

At the last table, there were two people sitting, one of them was wearing a black shirt, with his back to Ah Fei, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the middle-aged man next to him, dressed luxuriously, looked out of place with this tea shop.

Ah Fei took the tea bowl, thanked the proprietress and began to drink it in small sips, the hot tea entered his stomach, and his body gradually had a trace of warmth.

From feeling out a steamed bun that had been frozen hard, and drinking hot tea, Ah Fei slowly ate it.

He ate very carefully, and although he looked a little down, his waist was still straight.

The conversation of several Jianghu guests also came into his ears, "Brother Li, you have taken a dart outside the gate this time, defeated the three heroes of Xing'an with one sword, and you are raising your eyebrows and puffing up, which is very happy." ”

The man who spoke, who looked a little oily, and had a huge mole on his face, suddenly raised his voice a few more sharply when he was happy.

The person known as Brother Li, who has big ears and looks quite decent, is the head of the dart board of the largest dart board in Xindu, Li Shoutong, who is a member of the dart bureau in Xindu, and is quite famous in Xindu.

The day before yesterday, Li Shoutong came back from escorting darts outside the gate, and on the way to the dart bureau from his home today, he met several acquaintances and was dragged to a roadside tea shop to sit down.

Hearing his proud achievements, Li Shoutong smiled a little reservedly: "It's just a trivial matter, don't mention it, but I went back to the dart bureau the day before yesterday, and occasionally heard the head of the dart head talk about it, the rivers and lakes have been very unstable recently, and Brother Wang is the most well-informed, do you know why?" ”

The man with a mole on his face, his name is Wang Izuxi, although he is not very promising, and his martial arts are not very common, but this person is naturally easy to inquire, and there are acquaintances in the three religions and nine streams in the new capital.

When Wang Izumi heard Li Shoutong ask, he immediately puffed up his chest and said, "Speaking of this, my brother really knows some news." ”

Picking up the tea bowl in front of him and taking a sip, Wang Izumi said: "In the past few months that Brother Li has been outside the Guanwai, there have been many small things in the rivers and lakes, and there are only two that can be called big things. ”

A man next to him said with a very eye-catching smile: "Which two big things?" ”

Wang Izumi raised his index finger and lowered his voice: "Two months ago, a new force suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, calling itself Tianmen. ”

Li Shoutong was a little surprised: "Taking the sky as the gate, it's so bold." ”

Wang Izumi said: "Dare to use this name, naturally you have enough confidence, Tianmen set up a flag in Kaifeng, swept all Kaifeng sects within seven days, and the forces that did not surrender to Tianmen were all destroyed by Tianmen." ”

Kaifeng is also a city with a large proportion of population in the Ming Dynasty, because it is adjacent to the territory of the three major forces of the Blue Dragon Society, Daqimen, and the Divine Sword Alliance, but it has become a chaotic three-regardless zone in the rivers and lakes.

There are many gangs in Kaifeng, and many scattered masters who are unwilling to invest in the three major forces are hidden in Kaifeng.

"All destroyed?" Li Shoutong was a little incredulous, "The Kaifeng gang is headed by the Qilin Society, You Jingzhou is a well-deserved big man in Kaifeng City, and Tianmen actually defeated the Qilin Society in only seven days?" ”

No wonder he was so surprised, the Kaifeng Qilin Society is a force that should not be underestimated in the rivers and lakes, and it will be the first to visit Jingzhou, ranking eighty-three on the top ten lists, and the nine consecutive chains of kung fu immortal phantoms in cultivation, known as the first Qimen weapon.

You Jingzhou was the protector of Daqimen back then, but he betrayed Daqimen five years ago, and Daqimen chased and killed him all the way, but he fled from the hinterland to Kaifeng.

After that, he established the Qilin Society in Kaifeng, occupying half of the rivers and lakes in Kaifeng, and Daqimen never helped him.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was the Jellyfish Yin Ji of the Blue Dragon Society who took action and saved him from the hands of Daqimen, and he founded the Qilin Club to express the meaning of attaching the tail of the Blue Dragon Society.

Wang Chuxi shook his head and said: "It is said that only one person came out of Tianmen, and he defeated the Qilin Society, You Jingzhou surrendered, and the Qilin Society was also merged into Tianmen, and there is no Qilin Society in the world." ”

Li Shoutong was a little stunned: "You Jingzhou betrayed the Great Banner Gate, and now he is leaving the Qinglong Society, so he is not afraid that there will be no other place in this world?"

Wang Izumi shook his head and also expressed puzzlement: "Maybe between life and death, he can't care a lot, or perhaps, he feels that the Heavenly Gate is enough to block the revenge of the Blue Dragon Society." ”
