Part 1 Once Upon a Time in the North Chapter 2 Receiving Grace
"Who is Your Excellency?"
Looking directly at the place where the demon wind swept by, Chen Jiu held the knife sideways, looking vigilant.
"Truly, awrely. ”
The demonic wind suddenly turned around and whistled past Chen Jiu's left side.
"Demon, suffer death!"
Chen Jiu jumped around and immediately swung out several knives, and the blade wind broke through the air. Seeing that he was about to slash towards that demonic wind, he was completely dissolved by an invisible force.
"It's a gorgeous sword. ”
It was the strange voice again, the demon wind swept to the ground, and the breath gradually converged, turning into an extremely bewitching-looking man. The long lilac hair is draped down, and the purple pupils are like pearls, shining in the night. Dressed in a mink coat, the snow in the sky set off the fairness of his skin.
"The king's rank. ”
Chen Jiu said secretly, but he put away the knife and stared at the slightly charming face. Although he still has the strength to fight, his opponent is obviously not so easy to deal with.
"Brother Tai is so skilled, he actually washed the Dark Warlock Branch in blood. ”
The man paced, ending the eye contact between the two.
"In the next Xu Wen, is it okay to come to the City Lord's Mansion to talk about it?"
Xu Wen ruffled his long hair, stroked a few strands of hair, and looked at Chen Jiu with a slight flirtation.
Chen Jiu frowned, thinking that he was really in a dilemma. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and Xu Wen in front of him does not know the depth.
In the independent snow, after thinking for a long time, the snow had long since reached his ankles, Chen Jiu finally slowly put the long knife into the scabbard and said:
"Then it's better to be respectful. ”
The two walked one after the other, through the silent night. The snow fell silently, silently all the way. After walking for nearly half an hour, the houses beside the road gradually thinned out, and a brightly lit hall came into view.
Xu Wen led Chen Jiu into the door, and the sergeants in iron armor on both sides bowed in greeting. The castle lord's mansion is built on the mountain, and the further you go, the higher the terrain. Stepping through dozens of steps, the two entered the golden main hall.
The main hall is very large and extremely high. The dome is inlaid with countless pearls, as dazzling as the stars in the sky. The surrounding walls are painted with many pictures. Most of the paintings depict a man carrying a spear and sweeping across the battlefield. His sharp eyes and fierce marksmanship are like a god descending from heaven. The person in the painting is no different from the real person, which attracted Chen Jiu to stop and watch.
Xu Wen didn't move forward, for a long time, and sighed deeply:
"That's the deeds of the ancestor Changtian, alas, let's go. ”
After saying that, he left forward, and when Chen Jiu found out, Xu Wen had already walked away. Hurriedly catching up, passing through the gallery, and climbing hundreds of steps, the two came halfway up the mountain.
There is a small wooden pavilion built on a protruding rock face. Inside, a faint rosin fragrance comes to your nose. Xu Wen took out the fire fold, lit all the lamps, burned incense, and then sat on a futon.
Chen Jiuwu looked into the distance, where the previous Dark Warlock Chapter had been burned. The firelight had already dimmed, and Chen Jiu stared without saying a word. After a long time, two lines of tears slowly flowed down.
"More than 10 years ago, it was the same. Xu Wen's voice was slightly sad.
"Are you a descendant of the Chen family?"
"Chen Jiu. ”
When Xu Wen heard this, he also got up and stood side by side with Chen Jiu, and said:
"This wind and snow can't blow away your obsession. ”
"Sit down. Xu Wen took out a wine gourd, poured a full cup for Chen Jiu, poured it for himself, and drank it all.
"I don't want to mention your sadness. After a pause, he said:
"There are some people, including me, who have always known about your existence. It's just that I don't know the exact person, but I finally see it today. ”
"Would you like to come to my City Lord's Mansion as a guest?"
Chen Jiu took a sip slightly, his expression returned to his previous calmness, and he bowed slightly:
"Idle people, thanks to the city lord, can afford it. ”
"Just call me Brother Xu. Uncle Tie will arrange many matters with you. ”
"Good. ”
Chen Jiu left alone and walked down the hill in one step. Several black clouds suddenly appeared above the ruins in the distance, as if crumpling the night sky, emitting a zigzag black light.
"Such a powerful spell ... Chen Jiu secretly exclaimed.
It was also in an instant that a huge lilac demon shadow rose from the sky above the City Lord's Mansion. The demonic light was vertical and horizontal, and the purple gas was permeated, as if demonstrating with the black cloud. Not to be outdone, the black cloud suddenly spread out countless slender tentacles, and the lilac demon shadow turned into countless hairs, colliding with the tentacles. The clash between the two continued to form a purple-black mist in the air, and it disappeared with the wind in a moment. Black Cloud was suppressed everywhere, and after several rounds of fighting, Black Cloud suddenly withdrew its tentacles and walked away.
"Brother Xu, this kindness, I, Chen Jiu, have written it down!"
Back in the main hall, Chen Jiu stopped again to admire the exquisite murals. I saw that the Changtian Lord in the painting first galloped and sprinted, then turned back to pick it up, and then leaped again, holding a spear in the air and piercing the enemy's chest from top to bottom. Landing on the ground, he drew his spear and turned around to sweep through the enemies behind him, forcing them back. With another leap, he slammed into the ground, and the powerful power of the spear into the ground instantly wiped out the surrounding enemies.
"What a perfect marksmanship!"
Chen Jiu was fascinated and couldn't help but praise out loud. Lord Changtian's movements were constantly deduced in Chen Jiu's heart. Once, twice... An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and that action became more and more sophisticated in Chen Jiu's heart, and gradually merged with him completely. The movement grew faster and faster, to a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Shot again and again, landed again and again, Chen Jiu was immersed in this wonderful enjoyment and couldn't extricate himself.
Another hour, Chen Jiuwu gave birth to a hint of epiphany. Turning a spear into a long knife derives an extremely powerful knife technique.
"Whew. ”
With a long exhale, Chen Jiu opened his eyes. There was a slight light in the sky, and an old man was sitting not far in front of him.
Occasionally, such exquisite marksmanship couldn't help but make Chen Jiu feel a burst of happiness.
It will be of great use in the future!
Covering up the joy in his heart, Chen Jiu bowed to the Changtian Lord in the painting. Said a little apologetically:
"The old gentleman has been waiting for a long time. ”
"Come with me, and your Excellency will live in the city lord's mansion. The old man said with a smile and picked up his crutches.
"Hmm. ”
"Meet me, my surname is Tie. ”
"Chen Jiu. ”
To the left, the mountain in front of you is gentle, and there are many courtyards built on it, and there are pavilions near the stream, bypassing the pond, and there are a few courtyards scattered on this side.
The old man took out a bunch of keys, took two of them and handed them to Chen Jiu. And after instructing many little things, he left first.
Go into the yard and close the door. A well, a stack of firewood, and the rest is snow.
When I entered the house, a gust of wind and dust came to my nose. On the first floor, there are tables and chairs, a stove, and a futon for meditation. Open the window and go upstairs, there is only a wooden bed and a fireplace on the second floor.
The simple wooden houses are in stark contrast to the resplendent main hall. Chen Jiu was not annoyed, and after all, it was something outside his body, so he began to clean it.
Chopping wood to light the stove, shaking the wheel and fetching water, Chen Jiu began to clean the room.
Sweeping the floor and wiping the furniture for an hour. When I went out, the sun was already rising. A wave of exhaustion swept over with a slight sense of accomplishment. Chen Jiu lay on the wooden bed and fell into a deep sleep.
