Chapter 1 The Orphans of Cloud Scale Village

Songcheng Dongxiang County, standing near the sea, is rich in aquatic products, and there are many wharves and wine shops. The streets were filled with a steady stream of merchants, knights, monks, and Taoists all day long. This is one of the strongholds of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce, and you can take a boat to the north to the wine-making resort of Agar Island, and to the south to Quench Island, a must-go place for forging weapons and refining weapons. Relying on this geographical advantage, everyone in Dongxiang County is rich, ordinary people also know a few things about the rivers and lakes, understand a few inches of the rules of the rivers and lakes, and most of the children can also hum some rumors about the rivers and lakes:

The monks are bitter guests, and the Taoist is refining green fruits.

Begging for money to help the good, and the people in the Lonely Hung Valley are disabled.

The Longlai Restaurant, the largest restaurant on the seaside restaurant street, has a cloud of diners, full of guests, and is very lively, and the voice calling the shopkeeper is ringing one after another:

"Shopkeeper Er, here are two more jars of three-flower brew, and the brothers are drinking happily. ”

"Shopkeeper, here is another plate of fried crispy shrimp and cut two catties of beef in sauce. ”

"Shopkeeper Er, Shopkeeper Boy, there's no food here, come over quickly. ”

I saw that the shopkeeper's two-step method was lightly interspersed between the seats, the breath was steady, and the sound was like a bell:

"Okay, okay, I'll be right away."

The guests were not surprised, the land in Dongxiang County was already a master, and those who were good at wine had to go to Qiong Pulp Island, and those who refined their weapons had to go to Quenching Island. I'm afraid that the masters in the martial arts have already come.

Besides, most of the people who can come to this Longlai restaurant to hold a glass and raise a lamp are not ordinary people. First, the dishes and wines are all rare, ordinary people can't afford to eat and drink, and secondly, this is the stronghold of the Octagon Chamber of Commerce, and people who have nothing to do with the Octagon Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to enter.

At this moment, in the private room on the top floor of Longlai Restaurant, three black-shirted guests are kneeling on one knee in front of the man sitting on the hexagonal chair. The obese body was covered with a red silk robe, and the robe was embroidered with ingots, and he was extravagant. The man took a sip of tea from the square table on his right, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice to the black-shirted man kneeling on his left:

"Is the teapot scattered immortal still in Cloud Scale Village"?

The black-shirted man replied:

"Back to the hall master, I have left today. ”

The man leaned back, nodded and said:

"This terrible old thing, almost ruined my big thing, if it weren't for the secret report from the vice president, I'm afraid this Dongxiang County would be my burial place today. ”

Hearing this, the black-shirted man took a book from his shirt and took a few steps forward and handed it to the man, who took the eight-line book and threw it on the square table beside him, pointing his finger at the black-shirted man, and motioning for him to continue. The black-shirted man took a few steps back and continued to kneel:

"The spies from Cloud Scale Village just came to report that the Teapot Scattered Immortal stayed in the Black Scale Forest last night, and he should have come from Qiong Pulp Island to pass through this place, and it seems that he doesn't know our plans. ”

The man took the eight-line book on the table, carefully tore it in the palm of his hand, got up and went to the charcoal stove against the east wall, threw the shredded paper into the charcoal stove, and watched the shredded paper burn to ashes, while turning his back to the three black-shirted people and saying viciously:

"Tonight, everyone in this Cloud Scale Village must die, if this idle four immortals carry a pot and scatter the immortals really bad for me, I'm afraid that if I call the seven absolute martial idiots of the Chamber of Commerce together, there is no chance of winning! Tonight, solve this matter quickly, it's not easy to explain it if it drags on for a long time, so let's step down. ”

"Pavilion master, take orders. ”

The three blackshirts responded in unison, and then retreated.

The owner of the Qitong Pavilion of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce in the red silk robe, Qitongcai, sighed at this time and said:

"Alas, after tonight, I'm afraid this Dongxiang County won't be able to stay any longer."

Most of the fishermen in Yunlu Village, about 20 miles north of Dongxiang County, live a simple and comfortable life.

Occasionally, some old gourmets will come to the fishermen's houses in the village to make a tooth sacrifice, because the fish in this Yunlu Village are fresh and sweet, and there is no shortage of good wine brought back from Naqiong Pulp Island when the fishermen are fishing at sea, plus the village is quiet and peaceful, the villagers are simple and hospitable, and the food prices are even more affordable. After the spread of the word, it naturally attracted a group of good food guests who were willing to spend time and time to come here, and from time to time there will be some hermit masters who prefer quiet and leisurely to stop and transfer here.

The shade of the mountain behind the village is densely covered with the black scale trees of the mountain, this tree is pitch black all over, the leaves and trunks are all black, the trunk is straight, the base of the tree is stout, about 20 zhang high, about two zhang thick, the bark is extremely hard, the shape is like scales, so it is named the black scale tree.

According to some old people in the village, this black-scaled tree has been in the scene for hundreds of years, and when I was a child, I saw that these trees were no different from the ordinary trees, but in recent years these trees have begun to turn black year by year, and the old people who are about to die are too lazy to pay attention to these strange things, since this tree is also like them in the year of nearly decay, the vision of the body, about to return to the dust.

Some of the middle-aged boys in the village were very interested, and often used the wood chopping axes in groups to test their strength in the black-scaled tree woods, hoping that they were the strange people who could split the bark of the black-scaled trees. However, the axe was all cleaved, and the bark was still unscathed, not even a single gap remained. Even if it is brought to the village chief's house, the firewood knife that is claimed to be played on the quenching island is difficult to hurt in the slightest. Over time, those guys also felt bored, so they all fished with peace of mind to support their families.

Occasionally, I saw a knight who entered the village with a weapon on his back, so I invited him to try the knife and axe in the black scale tree woods with anticipation, but unfortunately it was still in vain. Most of the knights have a good face, and naturally they will not publicize it to the outside world, and they will seem to have low martial arts, so they will treat the black scale tree forest as a stubborn stone treasure land, and wait until one day to practice that peerless magic or find a good weapon, and then come here to make a name for themselves and find out. Naturally, such treasures should never be shared with others, and they are known to all.

However, some villagers happened to go to Dongxiang County to drink and chat with people, and took the strangeness of the black scale tree to make that wine conversation. Over time, the black-scaled tree became an anecdote and spread.

In recent years, the villagers have begun to strictly prohibit their dolls from approaching the black-scaled tree forest, not only because the tree is getting darker and darker, but also because of the sobbing of children from time to time in the forest, which makes the villagers panic, and every day they blow out the lights and stop early.

The moon is hanging high, and Dongxiang County is still full of people on the seaside, and it is busy. A magnificent martial arts competition platform was set up at the entrance of Longlai Restaurant, and all the masters on the stage recruited and recruited, and the heroes from all walks of life in the audience bought big and small.

At the entrance of Cloud Scale Village, two black-shirted guests, Qiyin and Qibronze, were standing at the entrance of the village with their backs, Qiyin's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Seven coppers, here!"

I saw three figures coming in the wind, and the first one was dressed in a navy blue robe, eight feet tall, with a withered body, with a cape, a dazzling eye, a domineering attitude, and a pitch-black knife box on his back.

"Hahaha, knife idiot, kill a few birds and fishermen, and you can still call you and Lao Tzu, Qitongcai's subordinates are all useless dog things"

The giant man who spoke was one foot tall, holding a tiger-headed giant axe, full of muscles, like a black bear, with open chest and back, and his face full of anger.

The seven gold arches that followed:

"There are two seniors, the knife idiot and the axe idiot, the curator's order, just in case, the Longlai Restaurant has set up a ring to divert the attention of the martial arts people, in case there are really martial arts people passing by here and bumping into this matter, there are two here to help, and the curator can also relax."

The axe idiot thought that the seven gold were verbose, and waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, knife idiot, you wait here, Lao Tzu can go alone, the tiger hasn't been bloody, let it drink it today." A few of you are guarding the waste of Qitong wealth around here, and Lao Tzu will come when he goes."

The knife idiot nodded, tiptoed, jumped up a tall tree, stood with his hands behind his back, dangling on the leaves, his eyes staring straight in the direction of the village. Seven gold, seven silver, and seven bronze stood at the entrance of the village, staring around them.

The axe idiot lifted his breath and walked quickly, tiptoe to the ground, jumped a few feet, and arrived at the village before he finished running in one breath. A giant man who is one foot tall has such a good body, which is amazing. The time has come, and the villagers of Cloud Scale Village have already rested early. Looking at the large rows of houses in Cloud Scale Village, the axe idiot was very happy, and he opened his mouth and smiled:

"Hahaha, the platoon is so neat and die together, today I will try the trick with you group of birds and fishermen, Lao Tzu's newly practiced Tiger Roar Tornado, today I will see the power of this move, his grandmother's gun idiot, next time Lao Tzu will use this trick to kill you." ”。

I saw the axe idiot holding the tiger-headed giant axe across his chest with both hands, opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, bent his knees down, the breath in his body was running extremely fast, his eyes were round and angry, and his body was swollen like a drum, almost bursting. The giant mouth of the axe idiot slammed out: "Wow", a tiger roared, like thunder on dry land, the sound shook the sky, and the seven gold, seven silver, and seven bronze in the distance also felt a buzzing sound in their ears, and their scalps were numb, and they hurriedly used their skills to protect themselves. The surrounding air flow fluctuated, and the axe idiot swung violently, and ten tornadoes "bang" rose to the sky, more than five feet high, and galloped rapidly, like ten giant dragons rolling and sweeping, pulling the sky and the earth. In an instant, the village was gone, only a piece of ruins and rubble remained, and the villagers of Yunlu Village were still in their sleep, and they had already died in bliss, I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.

A seven-peer martial idiot, he still has such a terrifying and shocking cultivation. The pot in the mouth of the Seven Fortunes is not capable of destroying the world.

The knife idiot standing in the air in the distance looked at this scene and nodded slightly. After a few breaths, the axe idiot has returned, it seems that the strength has been exhausted, the axe idiot raised his head and said to the knife idiot on the tall tree:

"Knife idiot, how was Lao Tzu's trick just now"?

The knife idiot still nodded, floated to the ground, landed beside him, and did not reply again.

Qijin stepped forward and arched his hand towards the knife idiot and the axe idiot:

"I'm tired of the two seniors, Qijin will go to the curator to return to his life, seven silver, seven bronze, you stay and deal with it, burn the corpse, and erase the traces. ”

The axe idiot didn't want to listen to him anymore, motioned for the knife idiot to leave the village, and waved his hand to the seven golds:

"Get out of here, tell you the hall master, don't call me Lao Tzu next time this kind of. ”

With that, he turned around and ran in the direction of leaving the village with the knife idiot, and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction in which the two left, Qijin said with a solemn face:

"Seven silver, seven bronze, guns, knives, axes and hammers, but it's a pity that the world is not a rumor. Let's go our separate ways. ”

The seven silvers and seven bronzes nodded and headed in the direction of the village, and a moment later, the three of them disappeared into the night.

In the early morning of the next day, at the entrance of the black scale tree forest in Cloud Scale Village, the two stood with their backs to the sea. A person in a red silk ingots robe, with a round belly and a round waist, is the seven fortunes of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce. The other person was covered by a pitch-black cloak, wearing a black ghost pattern mask, and the evil spirit was terrifying, and the ghost pattern mask man turned sideways and opened his mouth to Qi Tongcai on his right side and said:

"Qitong Cai, after today, your Qitong Pavilion will move out of Dongxiang County. What I promised you, since someone came to help you, this Dongxiang County will be handed over to me in the Demon Prison Forest in the future, and this deal is still very cost-effective for you. ”

The Qitongcai smiled and arched his hand and said:

"Wuzuo envoy, please say a few more kind words in front of the lord, Qitong Cai will definitely keep his promise, but now that things have changed, that kid from Bajinbao seems to have found some clues, and please implement the plan quickly."

Hearing this, the Wuzuo envoy shook off his robe and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Qitongcai, if you want me to urge the lord, do you want to take my life? Who can command the lord in this world? Now that the Demon Hell Forest has found the hundred-year-old demon scale tree handed down by the demon ancestor, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who is the opponent of the lord anymore, so just wait patiently for your affairs, take this Ugin ghost pattern card, and see the person who shows this token, it is the person who comes to help you." He'll let you know what's next, and I'll see you later. ”

Wu Zuo waved his robe, and a burst of black gas flashed, and disappeared in front of Qitongcai's eyes in an instant. Qitongcai put away the token, looked solemn, and then left with luck.

The black-scaled tree in Cloud Scale Village was actually the Demon Scale Tree in the mouth of the Demon Hell Forest, and all the villagers dissipated into the world because of this, and no one was left. In the depths of the Demon Scale Forest, a giant tree in the center, there was a square hole about eight feet long and seven feet high at the root of the tree. Who has the ability to carve such a huge hole in a tree that the weapons of this quenching island can't help?
