Unsheathed Sword Chapter 22: The Storm is Coming
Binxi, as a big city in the south, has a rich and colorful night market life.
Under the 10,000-point starry sky, there are also 10,000-point sparks in the world. Under the vast and boundless river, there are also human rivers flowing endlessly.
Heaven and humanity seem to have always been in a relationship that corresponds to each other. A trace into a button, a needle to lead a thread, the unity of heaven and man, is the truth here.
At this time, in the night of Binxi, four people were sitting under an old plane tree with sparse leaves, complaining with sad faces.
"Stinky Taoist, what kind of bad idea did you come up with to ask us to set up a fortune teller under this tree? Now I haven't made a penny, and it's raining in the sky, what should I do? ”
After Bai Xiaoyu complained, Xu Huaigu hurriedly echoed: "That's it, you said that we came to set up a fortune-telling stall, but no one came to tell fortunes at night at all, it is better to sleep under the bridge, at least it will not be rained!" ”
The Taoist priest was also helpless. originally thought that with his beautiful face, he would definitely be able to bake a few girls to settle the marriage, and he could also rub the oil by the way. Unexpectedly, the girl didn't come, but a few street gangsters came to collect protection money, looking at Bai Xiaoyu's beauty, competing to behave in front of the beauty, and saying a few indecent words, she was beaten up by Bai Xiaoyu and driven away.
What the Taoist priest didn't know was that a woman from a good family would go out shopping alone at night? Even if there is, it's with a childhood sweetheart, and when you look at the Taoist priest's beauty, you will take a second look, and you won't curry favor with others in front of your lover, and you won't spend that unjust money.
In the end, even God didn't help them, and it was raining, and the Taoist priest could only sigh "It's not easy to make money to support your family", and then looked at Li Zi, who was shouting loudly in the rain, and felt that he had really accepted a good apprentice.
It's just a bit silly.
What fortune teller doesn't pretend to be profound? If it can be solved in one sentence, it will never be said twice; What can be solved in four words is definitely not said in seven words. She also ran out into the street and yelled, what else could others think of if they didn't think they were liars?
After a long period of anticipation, a guest finally came, a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a black suit, with an angular face and a resolute face.
However, this young man walked over from a distance, his eyes didn't pass by, and he kept glancing at Bai Xiaoyu, who was a little soaked in clothes, and the Taoist priest rolled his eyes all the way to him.
He obviously saw the Taoist priest rolling his eyes at him, but he didn't take it seriously, so he walked to the front of the stall before he looked at the Taoist priest and asked, "Is the Taoist chief helping people tell fortunes?" ”
The Taoist priest glanced at him fiercely, and said angrily: "I only help girls tell fortunes, not men." ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned and kicked him lightly. There is a business that comes to the door and is so arrogant, and it doesn't make money, so everyone goes to drink the northwest wind?
When the young man heard this, this was the Taoist priest jealous, and when he saw Bai Xiaoyu following the Taoist priest outside, he said: "Dao Chief, the rain is so heavy, it is not good for children and girls to get wet, and it is easy to get cold." It just so happens that I have a house in the city, why don't I go and stay for a night with the Taoist chief? ”
The Taoist priest lost his temper and said nonsense: "Don't go." Poor Dao has calculated your fate, and there is a bloody disaster in your fate tonight, won't I go with you to affect me? ”
The young man was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "The Taoist is good at arithmetic, I haven't even told the Taoist chief my name and birthdate, and the Taoist can calculate my life?" ”
"I have a profound Taoism, believe it or not, I won't leave here anyway."
The man smiled and said, "Then let the Taoist master himself." ”
He walked up to Bai Xiaoyu, put away the umbrella in his hand, handed it over, and said, "The girl's body is weak when she looks weak, and it's not good to get sick from the rain, so this umbrella will be given to the girl, and there is no need to return it." ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned, she didn't want it, but Xu Huaigu and Li Zi were in the rain, she thought about giving them the umbrella, so she smiled gently and said, "Then thank you Gongzi." ”
As soon as Bai Xiaoyu took the umbrella in his hand, the man suddenly laughed, reached out and grabbed her forearm, and said, "The girl's hands are so beautiful." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was teased, and immediately exploded, her eyebrows wrinkled angrily, and she quickly wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that the man's strength was amazing, and he couldn't pull it away.
The Taoist priest frowned, a little puzzled, glanced at him obliquely, and then stretched out his two fingers to make a knife, drawing from the bottom to the top. The blade cut through the air, and a long golden line appeared directly in the air, quickly cutting through the man's wrist.
The man did not panic, he still grabbed Bai Xiaoyu's arm, and the golden thread did not pass as expected, but was hindered and stayed at the man's wrist.
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and looked at the man seriously, then opened his five fingers, and with one palm down, a large net of golden silk threads fell directly from the sky, straight towards the man.
The man didn't dare to be careless, let go of Bai Xiaoyu's arm, and stabbed out a fist, and his terrifying momentum no longer converged, and scattered like a tide.
He looked at the net in the sky, his face full of excitement and desire to fight, and threw a punch upward, the air was blazing with him, colliding with the golden net.
A loud sound was like thunder on the ground, and it burst into everyone's mind. The man sank into the ground ankle-deep, dusty, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
fell into disadvantage in only one round, and he also knew that he couldn't beat the Taoist priest, so he didn't love fighting at all, and rose from the ground and flew away into a rainbow light.
The Taoist priest didn't want to let him go, so he made a palm knife in his hand and swung it in the direction of his escape. In an instant, the space was torn apart, and there was really a knife mark out of thin air, passing through the space directly in front of the man, the man's face was unwilling, and he threw out a treasure armor to resist in distress, the treasure armor was directly shattered, and he also took the opportunity to escape.
The Taoist priest looked at him very unhappily and said coldly: "Tell your family name Lin, don't come to test me, if you want to cooperate, show me sincerity, don't come to the hook again!" Also, if I see you again next time, I'll kill you!" ”
The Taoist priest angrily drove the man away and sat down to set up a stall again. The surrounding crowd saw the previous fight, and they all gathered together, and gathered around the distance to point at the Taoist priest, but no one dared to come forward.
Finally, a guest came, and he still came to smash the field, but this smash really had no business, and everyone looked at them with strange eyes.
Bai Xiaoyu was a little worried about her current situation. I have already had two fights when I first came to Binxi, and it feels like it is not a coincidence, and according to the Taoist priest, the person behind the scenes who sent the second person here is surnamed Lin, and this surname is very interesting. Doing things on the cusp of this storm, and obviously knowing the identity of the Taoist priest, it is likely to be the current emperor or which prince it is.
However, even the Taoist priest didn't know that there was also a group of mysterious organizations that had already targeted them, watching the entire battle from a distance, sorting out useful information.
On the roof of the unnamed building, the frost of the moon was cold, and the rain fell on the two people. The two of them are one after the other, and their status is clear at a glance. They were all dressed in black robes, with long hats and black robes covering their heads, and the horns of the black robes were blown wildly by the night wind, lining the dark sky behind them, which was extremely mysterious.
The two watched the whole fight under the plane tree quietly, silently.
The man in black in front shook his body and took the hat from the black robe behind his shoulder, revealing an extremely terrifying face. His face was pitted and scarred, his eyes were full of murderous eyes, and his lips had been cut off. He took out a half-black, half-white mask and put it on, making it eerily creepy in the moonlight.
He was the first to speak, his voice hoarse and sharp, with arrogance and contempt, and said: "It seems that Old Man Sun has walked the world, and after so many years of playing the red dust, his Taoism has not risen at all, so he is not afraid. You Song Er, just take people to be optimistic about the trends in Binxi, keep an eye on those old guys, and tell me if you have something. Especially the guy from the Fuyao Sect who has newly promoted to the Ten Realms, if he comes to Binxi, he must notify me as soon as possible! ”
The man named Song Er didn't dare to raise his head and asked him, "What about the imperial court, do you want me to continue to follow up?" ”
He lifted the mask, put the mask close to his cheek, and said unhurriedly: "What the imperial court did this time is too stupid, and it really doesn't take Old Man Sun seriously, thinking that if you win over a few righteous people, everything will be worry-free." sent someone to test Old Man Sun and offended him, and now he reaped the consequences, and it is estimated that he will be severely punished. But don't take it lightly, the court should also keep an eye on it to see how they want to reap the benefits. ”
Song Er lowered his head, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Everything is under your orders, Lord Demon Envoy." ”
The man smiled, looked at the prosperous Binxi under his feet, stomped his feet, as if he wanted to crush Binxi under his feet, and sighed to himself: "Since that war, the biggest situation in Dongfuyao Continent is between this small city today. ”
