CHAPTER XLII

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Qiu Donglai is a killer.

There is actually nothing special about the killer, after all, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and there has been such a thing as taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others since ancient times.

But no one knows why, an ordinary killer can become the second in the world after Ran begging.

Some people say that he went to Dongying Island and learned the secret art of not passing on;

Some people also say that when he was killing someone, he accidentally discovered a lost secret book;

Some people even say that he saw the wild goose flying south, thought of his hometown, and had an epiphany on the spot.

In short, there are various opinions in the mouths of the people, but one thing that everyone agrees on is that his move "Yan Hui" is absolutely unbeatable.

However, what kind of move Yan Hui is, the people have only heard of it, but have not seen it.

After all, everyone who has seen it is dead.

People only know that Qiu Donglai later became a well-known heroic and righteous man, who could not be uneven with a sword, and wherever he went, no one dared to do anything wrong in the next three years.

。。。。。。。。。。

Situ Xiao stared at the uninvited guest in front of him, and finally relaxed his guard a little after confirming that he was indeed not murderous.

"Why do sword god Qiu Donglai need to wear a sword, if you want to, the chopsticks on this table, the autumn leaves on the ground, and even the miscellaneous pieces in this bowl of fried liver, which ones are not your swords?"

Qiu Donglai took a big bite of the fried liver, and when he heard this, he hurriedly swallowed a bite, waved his hand and said: "Situ said that he laughed, there is Ran Begging that old immortal, who dares to say that he is a sword god, I am just a sword idiot." ”

Situ Xiao shook the feather fan casually and said: "In this martial arts list, you are already under the iron beating, and Ran seniors have never liked to participate in disputes in the rivers and lakes, and you have been on the top of the East China Sea all the year round, and now this rivers and lakes are not your world?"

Qiu Donglai just laughed, but he didn't say anything about it.

Situ Xiao looked at the man in front of him who had almost killed him, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing in Youzhou City this time?"

Qiu Donglai said casually: "Occasionally do your old job and earn some money." ”

Of course, Situ Xiao knew what Qiu Dongsheng's old business was, but he was very puzzled, didn't Qiu Dongsheng stop selling and buying for money and killing people a long time ago, who could invite him out of the mountain?

I saw Qiu Dongsheng shake his head, took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Situ Xiao.

Situ Xiao opened the paper and found a portrait of a woman.

The portrait seems to have been drawn in a hurry, and it can be said that it is very rough, but under the rough lines of this hastily depicted, the physical characteristics of this woman can be said to be vividly displayed, and anyone who relies on this painting must be able to find this woman.

Situ Xiao is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he asked himself, if he painted, I am afraid that it would take a few days to simply copy, which shows that the level of the painter is definitely at the level of a national player.

Qiu Donglai pointed to the woman in the portrait and said: "I spent the night in an inn a few days ago, and when I woke up, I found an envelope at the door, and there was a silver ticket, a letter, and a portrait of this woman in the envelope. The letter said that he would buy this woman's life with me, but not to buy her death, but to buy her life. ”

When Situ Xiao heard this, he instantly understood, someone wanted to kill the woman in the painting, but someone actually found Qiu Donglai, who was wandering around and had no fixed place, and paid him to protect the woman.

Situ Xiao looked at the portrait repeatedly, and always felt that the woman in the painting seemed to be a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who it was.

So he had no choice but to ask Qiu Donglai: "Who is the person in this painting? Who wants him to die, and who wants to buy her life?"

Qiu Donglai finished eating a bowl of fried liver, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know who wants her to live, but I know who wants her to die." Or, in this world now, who doesn't want this woman to die?"

Situ Xiao hadn't reacted to the meaning of Qiu Dongsheng's words, but looking at the portrait, he suddenly remembered something, and said incredulously: "This woman is Sun Yun, the mistress of the Prison Sword Villa?"

Qiu Dongsheng smiled and nodded, "Exactly." ”

Prison Sword Villa was originally one of the best sects in the rivers and lakes.

From the beginning of their martial arts success, the disciples of the Prison Sword Villa have to step into the rivers and lakes to find their own sword-casting materials, and after all the materials are found, they must return to the sect and cast their own swords in the back mountain.

Moreover, the requirements of this sword are high and the requirements are high, no matter how much hair, hair, hair, and iron are just the basic threshold, the prison sword villa requires that the sword created by each disciple belongs only to himself, except for the sword owner, the rest of the people are injured when they touch it, and they will use it to die.

Countless talented young people entered the villa, either died on the way to find materials, or they were unable to forge their own swords for the rest of their lives, and finally died of depression.

Because of this, it is said in the rivers and lakes that the Sword Prison Villa is not a sword prisoner, but a sword prisoner.

However, there are always exceptions, such as Yu Zifeng, the previous owner.

It is said that this person entered the Prison Sword Villa at the age of ten, and at the age of fifteen, he became a martial artist, and had the strength of the Seven Heavens, so he was ordered to go down the mountain to find materials for sword casting.

Since then, Yu Zifeng seems to have been submerged in the vast sea of people in the rivers and lakes, and there has been no news.

It wasn't until ten years later, just when everyone thought that another unborn genius had died on the way to find the sword, that the twenty-five-year-old Yu Zifeng returned to the Prison Sword Villa with a woman.

For the next three years, Yu Zifeng lived with this woman on the back mountain of Prison Sword Villa.

When Yu Zifeng went down the mountain again, a sword that no one had ever seen was already on his back, and the name of the sword was "Chengying".

Later, the youngest swordsman in the history of the Imprisoned Sword Villa also became the youngest owner.

And the woman who followed Yu Zifeng back to the mountain back was Sun Yun.

It may be that creation makes people, maybe it is jealousy of talent, Yu Zifeng, who was ranked fifth in the last martial arts list, unexpectedly died of illness last winter.

Because Yu Zifeng died so suddenly, that the entire Prison Sword Villa was not prepared, so several disciples led by him began to fight for power and profit for the position of the owner of the village, and killed each other.

In fact, if it is just like this, Sun Yun, as the widow of the previous owner, no matter who becomes the new owner, will let her spend the rest of her life in peace.

However, I don't know when, a rumor appeared on the rivers and lakes: in that Chengying Sword, Yu Zifeng's lifelong martial arts experience is hidden, and if you get this sword, you can ascend to the sky in one step.

This kind of thing that sounds very unreliable spreads more and more, and in the end, the whole people in the rivers and lakes believe it.

However, no one knows where Yu Zifeng hid Chengying before his death, except for Sun Yun.

So a protracted chase began.

At first, the Imprisoned Sword Villa was in the way of losing face, and also said to the public that it would protect Sun Yun, and all those who tried to murder the wife of the previous owner would be regarded as showing enemies to the Imprisoned Sword Villa.

However, slowly, even the disciples who were competing for the owner of the village began to have the idea of Chengying, after all, the level of several people was almost the same, and the number of people under them was mostly the same, and after a few months of competition, it was impossible to distinguish between high and low.

But as long as there is Chengying and Yu Zifeng's martial arts are learned, the position of the owner of the village is not yet captured.

Poor Sun Yun was a weak woman, so she had to be displaced and flee to the rivers and lakes.

This incident can be said to be the biggest thing in the rivers and lakes in the past year, and Situ Xiao has naturally heard about it.

Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

Qiujian Mountain, where the Prison Sword Villa is located, is on the southwest side of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was once the Northern Qi sect that was as famous as the Tieqi Gate.

In the process of Situ Xiao fleeing with the people of Northern Qi, Yu Zifeng, the owner of the village at that time, also secretly helped them.

Situ Xiao only remembered at this time that once in the prison sword villa, this woman stood behind Yu Zifeng, silently lowered her head, and listened to the two men next to her, who were not yet standing, discussing the life and death of the two countries.

"Where is Sun Yun now?"

Hearing Situ Xiao's question, Qiu Dongsheng asked with an expression of disbelief: "Aren't you bent on restoring the country and never ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"

Situ Xiao shook his head and told him how Yu Zifeng secretly helped him escape back then, and then said: "After all, the owner of the village used to be kind to me, and now his widow is in trouble, if it is possible, I am still willing to do my part." ”

Qiu Dongsheng nodded and said: "It's a pity, I only know that a few months ago, someone saw her in Youzhou City, so I came here to look for it, but I have been looking for a few days, and I have never found it, I am afraid that I have left this place." ”

As he spoke, Qiu Dongsheng got up and paid the boss for two bowls of fried liver, and then picked up the bowl that was still motionless in front of Situ Xiao and swallowed it in a few bites.

"Anyway, I will protect this woman, not because of what is not the shadow, Lao Tzu just can't get used to seeing a group of big men embarrass a woman, if you have any news about this woman, notify me as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Qiu Dongsheng stopped talking nonsense, picked up his bags and turned around and left the stall, and plunged into the crowd.

At night, Situ Xiao wandered around the street for a long time and finally returned to Hongyun Building.

Over the years, he had been thinking about the restoration of the country all the time, so much so that he could no longer remember the last time he wandered around aimlessly.

Back in the room, he saw half a roast duck on the table and a stack of spring cakes that had been cooled, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

If he could, he hoped that Qi Liyun would really be her daughter, even if she was adopted, at least she would not be like now, and she could only be left behind in the chessboard of this world.

Youzhou City is already the north of the beam, and naturally it is not as good as the four seasons of Jingbei City.

The frost has passed, and the night is a bit biting.

Lin Anyan has been shopping for a day today, and he is obviously too tired to straighten his waist, but at the moment he is lying on the ground, but he can't sleep after tossing and turning.

Although Qi Liyun was lying motionless on the bed, for some reason, Lin Anyan could feel that she was not asleep.

The ghost sent the gods, Lin Anyan suddenly asked, "Do you know that Situ Xiao wants to restore the country?"

Qi Liyun didn't turn around, but said softly: "If it were you, and your home was gone, wouldn't you want to take revenge?"

"That's different, there is a debtor and a master, if you want to kill the emperor and kill Jiang Fengyang, I can accept it. But you're going to fight, you know if you don't fight, you're going to die. ”

"Because of the war, my parents are dead, and you ask me if I know how to fight?"

"Then have you ever thought that if there is another war, there will be many children like you who will never see their parents again, no matter how much treasure there is, even if you can really win, your revenge will be avenged, who will their revenge be?"

I don't know if it's because he accompanied Qi Liyun to go shopping during the day, Lin Anyan at this moment actually felt that he was persuading a friend who had been friends for many years, and he didn't back down at all in his tone.

"I don't know what Situ Xiao wants, but when I get to Taibai Mountain, let Situ Xiao play by himself, you go with me to apprentice, and when I finish learning, you will go back to Jingbei City with me, and with my family's doorway, there is no problem at all for you to get a household registration in Jingbei City." ”

Qi Liyun knew that Lin Anyan was kind, but she could only say lightly: "Your kindness tells the Bodhisattva to go." ”

"No, there is a Bodhisattva, she won't let you start another war. ”

Hearing this, Qi Liyun suddenly got up and picked up the sword placed in the corner of the wall, and flew towards Lin Anyan.

Lin Anyan just lay there in a daze and didn't hide at all, because he felt that there was no hatred in this sword, only resentment.

Sure enough, just as the tip of the sword touched his throat, Qi Liyun retracted his hand.

The autumn wind blew open the window that was not closed, and the moonlight spilled into the room, hitting Qi Liyun's face, and also allowing Lin Anyan to see Qi Liyun's face full of tears.

"Then why? Why didn't the Bodhisattva stop you from killing my parents and destroying my family and country? Why did the Bodhisattva close his eyes twenty years ago!"
