Troubled Times Chapter 3 Heavenly City

In the territory of Zhongzhou Lanyin Mansion, Liutian City.

The entire territory of Lanyin Mansion belongs to the jurisdiction of the Martial Arts Righteous Path, and Liutian City, as one of the five major cities of Lanyin Mansion, has the Righteous Dao Sect Liutian Sect sitting in the city.

Because of the war between the Zhengyang Empire and the Northern Barbarians decades ago, it was brutally abused at the level of military generals' combat power, so it learned from the pain and began to be compatible with the martial arts forces.

This has caused the rapid growth and expansion of the martial arts power.

And these many martial arts forces are quite energetic, and the martial arts sect has a strong single force, but people always have different experiences that cause differences in personality, roughly speaking, it is the difference between the heart to justice and the heart to evil.

This also gave birth to the distinction between the righteous path of martial arts and the path of demons.

As the scope of the Martial Arts Orthodox Path, these Righteous Dao sects usually cooperate with local states and cities to send disciples. One is for training, and the other is to help these state cities beware of demonic warriors.

Martial arts masters are like carp crossing the river, the number is increasing, and even the imperial military will hire some martial arts masters to serve as the head of the army, and some gentry and landlords will also support martial arts people to take care of their homes and homes.

The level of one's own strength in martial arts can be measured from two perspectives: internal strength and combat power.

The so-called master generally refers to the martial artist who has opened the most thrilling second pulse of the eight veins, also known as the Dacheng Realm.

Among the eight veins, in addition to the two veins of Rendu, the six veins of Chong, Belt Vein, Yin Seesaw, Yang Seesaw, Yin Dimension, and Yang Dimension are fully opened, which can run smoothly in Xiao Zhoutian, and the internal force is initially formed, which is the small Cheng realm.

Most of the warriors' level is in the Xiaocheng realm, because the process of opening up the second pulse of Ren Du is extremely difficult, and at the same time, it is also very dangerous.

After stepping into the Dacheng Realm, the amount of internal force has become the embodiment of the strength of a warrior's appearance, and the martial artist of the Dacheng Realm uses internal force to circulate the eight veins in the body, which is called the Great Zhou Tian. Within an hour, being able to complete more than 33 rounds of the Great Zhou Tian means that the internal force has reached the middle stage of the Great Cheng Realm. Similarly, if there are more than 99 rounds of Great Zhou Tian in one hour, it means that the late stage of the Dacheng Realm has been reached.

The strength of the internal force indicates the strength level of the warrior in a certain sense.

However, due to the influence of weapons, exercises, experience, talent, and other factors, the final combat power level of a warrior is not determined by the strength of internal strength.

Therefore, on the rivers and lakes, it is generally determined that the strength and weakness of a warrior will define the level of a warrior by the comprehensive combat power of the level of combat achievements, exercises, weapons, etc. That is, the upper, middle and lower three products of the Dacheng realm.

The inferior Dacheng Realm has the weakest combat power, but it is also the norm for most Dacheng Realm martial artists, and it is the average level of Dacheng Realm martial artists.

The medium-grade Dacheng realm has exceeded the average level, and it can be called the master of the masters.

Generally speaking, a martial artist of this level of Dacheng Realm has excellent talent, super-first-class weapons, exercises, and rich combat experience, so that he can be called a top-grade. In the entire rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of top-grade Dacheng realm martial artists, and each of them is a well-known grandmaster-level figure.

The Grandmaster Realm above the Dacheng Realm is a legendary level, and every martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm can leave a strong legend in the history books.

And the Grandmaster Realm, because it is too far away, can only be worshiped by the majority of martial artists, and the real masters in the world are basically martial artists of the Dacheng Realm.

...

At this time, it was the cold winter wax moon, although the sun had just set, but the sky was already dark, outside the city wall, the five fingers could not be seen.

The east gate of Liutian City had long been closed, and several disciples of the Liutian Sect were warming themselves by a bonfire at the head of the city.

Liutian City is just a small city, although there are officers and soldiers guarding the city, but in this kind of cold winter, standing guard overnight is equivalent to death. The physical fitness of ordinary soldiers can be described as weak, so the task of guarding the city wall was handed over to the disciples of the sect.

Martial artists work hard in their bodies, coupled with the poor and rich martial arts, the life of martial artists is much better than that of ordinary people, plus hard training day and night, so their physical fitness is much better.

At this time, several disciples of the Liutian Sect were gathering around to talk about some interesting things in their own sect, and they were leaning against the outer wall and talking excitedly. And on the wall behind them, a hand rose silently, slowly.

One of the several disciples seemed to have sensed something, and glanced back, but his eyes were slightly hurt by the cold wind, and he quickly turned his head back.

"What's wrong?" The other disciples asked.

"I just happened to hear something, and I looked back, and it turned out to be nothing."

"The fourth junior brother is chattering all day long, after this month, I will go to intercede with the master, you go to the morning shift next month, the monthly shift is not suitable for you."

"Hehe, thank you, brother!"

As the brothers were talking, a vague shadow quickly swept through the darkness not far from them.

A short time later, another phantom flashed from the same position. And this time, the fourth junior brother turned around again, he rubbed his eyes and sighed.

"If you stay up all night and stay up too much, you will be blinded by your five senses, my senior brother really didn't lie to me, I knew that I wouldn't covet that little monthly class reward, and I turned around and went down the duty, and I must go to ask the master."

With the blocking of the tall city walls on all sides, the city is not disturbed by the cold wind, just like another world.

The lights of the city lit up the sky above the city, and there were places where the lights converged all over the city. These places are the characteristics of the Gilding Sky City - the lantern market.

At this time, in Liutian South City, the market on the side of Caihua Street was crowded with people, and the seven streets of the nearby vertical and horizontal were full of people, and there were countless vendors on both sides of the street.

The streets are crowded with people, mostly to enjoy the lively scene, but even the few people who shop are enough to make a lot of money for the vendors.

Liutian City is just a small town with no curfew, so the nightlife is still very rich.

The bazaar in the south of the city is a major feature of Liutian City, and the vendors who can appear here naturally have large and small backgrounds.

At the most large, it may be a relative of so-and-so in the Liutian faction, and at the smallest, it is also enough to pay enough 'entry fee'.

As the 'guardian' of Liutian City, the Liutian Sect has also arranged for many disciples to be here to guard the safety of this place. And part of the money of those merchants is the protection fee handed over to the Liutian faction.

Standing on both sides of the street, the purple-robed warriors leaning against the wall were disciples of the Liutian Sect. The purple-clothed and gold-edged costumes are the symbol of the warriors of the Liutian faction.

And among the disciples of the Liutian Sect here, the leader is a deacon elder of the Liutian Sect, who is also the most senior disciple of the Liutian Sect.

Dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with intricate patterns on the gold trim of the hem of the cuffs, he was sitting in a teahouse at the entrance of the street.

Across from him, there was a man.

The two had been communicating here for a long time, and the conversation between them was coming to an end.

"Elder Mo, today's matter is decided. In the days to come, the moon is waiting for the lake! ”

Opposite the purple-robed deacon, the lean man's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.

Mo Bitumen, the deacon elder of the Liutian Sect, just nodded, and agreed.

The man on the other side saw Mo Bitumen nodding, and then arched his hand and left the teahouse.

The lean man got out of the teahouse and turned straight to a path behind the teahouse, avoiding the crowds.

Behind him was a bustling crowd farther and farther away, and the lean man's feet slowly slowed down from the initial hurry, and finally walked down the alley like an ordinary passerby.

The lean man made many turns in the alley, and finally disappeared into an ordinary house.

The location of this house is actually across the wall of the Choi Wah Street Market. If you hadn't taken a detour, you could have reached it by passing through an alley.

The man was so cautious that he didn't know what he was wary of.

The lean man unlocked the hanging door and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard is not large, and the main hall of this house is directly opposite the courtyard gate.

Standing in the courtyard outside the main hall, the thin man's eyes suddenly swelled, but quickly disappeared in the next moment.

In front of him, an illegible figure jumped from the roof and stood.

"What are you! Could it be... Is it a bandit? Uncle! You can also see that my family is not rich, if you want to rob, I will give it to you, just ask you to spare my life! ”

The lean man first shouted angrily, and then seemed to think of something, his voice began to tremble slightly, and his eyes fell to the ground, as if he did not dare to raise his head to meet the man's eyes.

It is the correct posture for a timid person to encounter a burglary.

"You don't have to act! Tell me, did you take a little girl yesterday in a stun in a tea shop thirty miles outside the East City? ”

The unsightly figure let out a low sigh.

The thin man's body was slightly stunned, his head was lowered, his eyes kept rolling, and the man's voice ...... How can you be so young!

His mind was racing, and the lean man already had a plan.

"Hmph, what kind of person am I, it turned out to be a doll!" The lean man raised his head, his gaze as if he had pierced through the darkness and seen the true face of the man who was standing.

"It looks like it's really you!" The figure in the dark night came with a slightly immature timbre, although the timbre was immature, but there was a thick anger contained in it.

The lean man grinned, and just wanted to laugh out loud, the corners of his eyes suddenly jumped violently, and his body sensed danger, and his body subconsciously dodged to one side.

A strong wind passed through where he had just been, and then another vague figure appeared in front of the lean man.

The lean man had just stabilized his figure, and the person who suddenly appeared had already completed his turn and rushed straight towards the lean man, and in front of the lean man, a fist shadow quickly enlarged.

"Bang!"

The lean man crossed his arms and blocked a fist, which was not an adult's fist.

The contempt in the thin man's heart had not yet risen, but the power that came from that fist made the thin man's face change, and the disdainful smile that had been frozen on his face before and the contempt that was about to rise collapsed and shattered in an instant!

The lean man took a few steps back before he could drain the strength on his arm. He put on a defensive stance. The dark clouds in the sky moved slowly at this time, exposing the corner of the moonlight, and the moonlight was scattered, and through the moonlight, the thin man saw that this was a boy who was no more than eleven or twelve years old in front of him. Although the latter was young, the power of the previous fist made his eyes full of fear.

"Little doll, where are you, go back quickly, I don't care about you!"

The lean man tried in vain to intimidate the boy.

"Tell me where you sent that little girl!"

The eleven or twelve-year-old boy didn't eat it at all. Through the thin night, the lean man could vaguely judge that the young man was dressed in white.

"I'll tell you the truth, I haven't been out of the city at all in the past two days, you've found the wrong person!" The thin man's eyes rolled, but his mouth continued to explain without stopping.

"Impossible, you have the smell of my junior sister here, I will never admit it!" The young man in white said sharply!

"Dognose!" The thin man's eyes rolled, and he cursed in his heart, and the fear on his face became more and more intense.

He couldn't help but continue to think, at such a young age, but with such a deep internal strength, could this kid be a disciple of a big faction?

Many thoughts flashed through the thin man for a moment, and then he suddenly put away his posture, his body seemed to relax, and he smiled at the young man:

"It seems that I have kicked the hard board, that's it, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, I will return your junior sister, I can take you to your junior sister now."

"Really?"

The boy's tone was mixed with suspicion and a hint of excitement.

In order to show his sincerity, the thin man spread his hands, signaled himself to give up resistance, and said, "You can tie me up, and I will take you to find my junior sister!" ”

The young man thought about it and nodded solemnly, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, because his junior sister was already anxious because of the disappearance, so he walked quickly to the lean man.

Just as the young man in white approached the lean man, the lean man suddenly launched, and a cold light popped out of his sleeve, about to stab the young man.

Call!

A breaking wind sounded behind the young man, and then a black shadow hit the cold light in the thin man's hand, and then the bamboo pole hit the thin man's chest like a dragon out of the sea.

The lean man suddenly screamed in pain and fell to the ground, holding a short-handled dagger in his hand, the blade glowing green, and it looked like it was quenched with poison.

The previous boy was dressed in white and named Xue Sheng, while the later boy was dressed in red and named Liu Xin.

Xue Sheng looked at Liu Xin holding a bamboo pole from nowhere, his face was tangled, and he didn't speak.

On the contrary, Liu Xin walked in front of the thin man, and without waiting for the thin man to react, he smashed him with a stick, and then groped on him, while saying:

"The young master of the evil sect, why does he seem to have no brains, this person is lying to you at first glance, and you are stupid to let down your guard. No wonder the master always said that people in the Demon Dao are strong, but their brains are crippled! ”

Xue Sheng's face turned red, and he looked at Liu Xin and retorted angrily:

"I already knew who he was, I showed my flaws just to paralyze him, and then I fought back!"

Liu Xin found something from the lean man, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, his little brow furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"We're in trouble..."

Xue Sheng was slightly stunned, and the tide rising from shame on her face had not yet faded.

And Liu Xin had already stood up at this time and threw an object to Xue Sheng.

"What is this?"

Xue Sheng took the object, and it turned out to be a small multicolored gilt token, but he didn't recognize the origin of the thing.

"Oh, I forgot that you are the young master of the evil sect, of course you don't recognize this righteous sect. This thing is a token of the Heavenly Sect here. ”

"I've read all the information of your righteous path famous hundred major sects, isn't this Heavenly Sect among them?"

"Well, it seems that the ranking of the Heavenly Sect should be outside a hundred, and I also know because of their beautiful token design, and I once asked the master. There are thousands of paths to our righteous path, so we are the right path. If you have few demons, you will naturally become demons, and this is the truth that those who have attained the Tao will have more help, and those who have lost the Tao will have little help. ”

Xue Sheng's face faded red, his expression became serious, he glanced at the lean man who had fainted on the ground, and after being silent for a long time, he had a plan in his heart.

"We've got to make a good plan!"

"What a plan, a waste of time! Ask Ah Li's whereabouts directly from this guy's mouth, and I can rescue her by smashing Huanglong! Now all you need is to ask him for clues! ”

"Why me?"

"Aren't you good at this?"

"You're prejudice!"

"This is what my master said, he won't lie to me!"

"Your master is also biased!"

The two teenagers in red and white confronted each other angrily about this issue for half the night, until the sky appeared white and the lean man had woken up.

"Say, where is my sister (junior sister)!"

The red and white boy asked at the same time, and the lean man was tied up to a pillar in the room.

The thin man's eyes were about to turn, when he saw that Liu Xin took out a small gilt seal, and split his head and covered his face.

Syllable!

"Uh...... You actually found this token, you don't seem to know Biling, otherwise how dare you be so arrogant! ”

The lean man was hit on the head, and blood trickled down like a trickle.

"It's just a token of the Heavenly Sect, I know!"

Liu Xin said disdainfully, and the gilt order was constantly tossed up and down in his hand.

The thin man was shocked when he heard this, and his face showed surprise.

Seeing his look, Liu Xin continued to speak:

"To tell you the truth, such a small faction as the Liutian Sect is not in the eyes of my master at all. But I'm curious, what kind of character are you in the Celestial Sect? ”

When the lean man heard this, his face became even more ugly, but he did not speak.

Click

A hatchet fell above the lean man and slashed deep into the column.

Xue Sheng held the firewood knife he had just found, his face was gloomy, and his tone was even colder:

"If you don't say it, I won't spare your life! Anyway, I got the token of the Liutian faction, this matter must be related to it, I can find the elders in the sect to come out, and I can solve it! ”

The lean man's body trembled, and looking at Xue Sheng, he clearly saw the real killing intent in the other party's eyes.

"I ...... I say! ”

It turned out that the lean man was just a loose man, but he acted as an intermediary to liaise the two forces. One of them was the Liutian Sect, and the other side turned out to be the Demon Dao Hundred Soul Sect.

As the young master of the evil sect, Xue Sheng naturally knew about the Hundred Souls Gate, which was a sect that was not welcomed in the Demon Dao. His own strength is not strong, but he always wants to find another way.

Because he has created several major cases of exterminating the sect for no reason, it has been disbanded by the order of the owner of the evil sect, and it has been five years now. Unexpectedly, this sect that was forced to disband, and the upper leaders were all imprisoned in the Demon Prison, actually continued to exist in the land of the righteous path.

And the Liutian Sect is doing business through the lean man and the Hundred Soul Gate, the human flesh business!

The Celestial Sect sought out some children with specific requirements in the Hundred Souls Sect within their jurisdiction and exchanged them for benefits to the Hundred Souls Sect. What this benefit is, the lean man does not know.

Because a lean man is shrewd and happens to know people on both sides, he becomes an intermediary.

And through the lean men, the red and white teenagers also knew that in another day, the two parties would trade in Linyue Lake.

"Senior sister fell into the hands of those perverts in the Hundred Soul Gate, but she suffered! This is the right place, don't you have anything you can do? ”

Xue Sheng was holding a firewood knife, looking aggressive, but there was a faint sadness on his face.

"The five major sects of the Lanyin Mansion are in the same spirit, and even my righteous path conference is in the name of the Lanyin Mansion Sect Federation, which participates as a family. I'm afraid that finding a few other companies to help me will not be able to do the opposite! And if you want to go to a sure place to ask for help, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Liu Xin kept rubbing his palms, frowning, and his brain was running rapidly.

"Then there is no way, you can only rob it, if you can't do it, you can show your identity."

"Hehe, eldest young master, have you burned out your brain? We found out about their bad deeds and revealed my identity, so they didn't do their best to kill me! ”

"That's why when you were besieged, I went up to rescue my sister. Isn't it good to sacrifice one of you and rescue my junior sister? ”

"Holy shit, what bastard theory you have! …… It seems to make some sense...... Hey, it doesn't matter, if it really comes to this point by then, I will break it for you! ”

"You're a good brother."

Xue Sheng patted Liu Xin on the shoulder.

"It's all your fault for this, my sister wants to come out to play, just take her out if you're a coquette, don't you know that she has a disaster in her life, is she a disaster? Drinking saliva may have caused a catastrophe! ”

Liu Xin muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Even if she is a disaster star, overcoming all things in the world, I will use everything I have to eliminate disasters for her! You're the same, right? ”

Xue Sheng smiled, but there was a sinister aura hidden in her smile. He hated the two sects of the Liutian Sect and the Hundred Soul Sect to the extreme.

"That's my sister, she's in trouble, and it's nine percent because I don't like her. Of course I have to bear my own mistakes! ”

Liu Xin looked in the direction of Linyue Lake, and the hand holding the wooden stick was already so strong that it turned white.
