Part 1 Once Upon a Time in the North Chapter 11 The Eve of the Hunt
"Mo Tongjun, where did your knife come from?"
At the bottom of the mountain, Xu Wen sighed and stared at Chen Jiu with straight eyes. There was disappointment in his eyes, and there was a hint of loss.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I have a story, do you have wine?"
Chen Jiu sat cross-legged, looking up to the sky and sighing, his expression full of melancholy.
"More than a hundred years ago, there was a man ... ”
"It's called Chen Baidao... ”
"He was chased and killed, seriously wounded, and fell in an unknown cave in the middle of an old forest in the deep mountains, dying... ”
"Alone, dead, and clean... Only hate, death without turning a blind eye... As he spoke, as he lay dying... ”
"The cave burst out of the dark red fire and engulfed him... ”
"Chen Baidao signed a contract with this knife, if he can't reach the royal rank within twenty years, he will die, and this knife will also be inherited by Chen Baidao's descendants... ”
Chen Jiu said, pulling out the ink-colored long knife and staring affectionately.
"After Chen Baidao took revenge, he established the Hundred Swords Gate, he failed to break through the Nine Rank Great Knight for twenty years, his son didn't do it, and his grandson didn't do it either... ”
"It wasn't until six generations later that I did ... ”
"I was lucky enough to break through the royal ranks, and I knew everything about it... ”
"This is the death of the Hundred Knife Chen Family, the mystery of the untimely death of the heads of the family in the past... ”
"I don't know where this knife came from... ”
"But I, the seventh generation head of the Hundred Knife Chen family... ”
Stroking the knife, Chen Jiu had a lot of thoughts, but his tone was even more unwavering:
"This knife is the inheritance of my clan... ”
"The relics of the ancestors, I should protect them to the death... ”
"Is it ... It was me who was wrong ... Xu Wen sat dumbfounded, staring at the red figure, not knowing what to do.
Chen Jiu, Chen Jiu, do you know that this knife was forged before the fall of the gods... The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty...
When I saw your knife before, I thought that you were not a descendant of the Hundred Knife Chen family, but someone else, but in the name of Chen Jiu, he had other plans.
Now it seems that I was wrong.
That being the case, I'm Xu Changfeng, and I'll go crazy with you...
As my Xu Keqing, I should advance and retreat with you...
Otherwise, I will be ashamed of the world!
Xu Wen sighed secretly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Soon, his eyes regained their former brightness, and he got up and said:
"Let's go, Motong-kun. ”
"Early summer hunting can't miss the deadline. ”
Four days later ...
It's night.
Under the faint moonlight, the vague outline of the rolling icebergs in the distance became clearer and clearer.
Not far away, several Dazhai are brightly lit. On the ground, the company camped for dozens of miles, and the loneliness of the bonfire was in stark contrast to the vast ice field.
What a majestic view!
The two took advantage of the night to enter the camp of the city lord's mansion.
After a quick meal, the two went to the account. Dressed in black and dusty, Chen Jiu looked even thinner.
"The tradition of early summer hunting has been going on for hundreds of years. ”
Xu Wen pointed to the map and said:
"As in previous years, two days later, all the gentlemen here went with me to the deepest part of the ice field, except for those who won the lottery. ”
With that, he picked up the bamboo tube on the side, closed his eyes slightly, and pulled out three bamboo sticks.
The bamboo sticks were shown to everyone, and the names of three people stood out.
One said, Xu Xinyi
Second, Chen Jiu
Three, Xu Wei
"Why did Lord Chen Jiu stay?"
"Yes, Chen Jiu's cultivation has reached the first stage of the king rank, if he goes, it will definitely be a big help. ”
Seeing Chen Jiu's name, everyone was in an uproar, although everyone knew that this lottery was boring, but the rules left by the winners were set by Lord Changtian a hundred years ago, so they had to retreat one by one.
Only the young man and woman stopped in place, thinking that it was Xu Xinyi and Xu Wei, Chen Jiu looked at the map and thought a little.
This ancient ice sheet is probably oval in shape, with mountains at its outermost point and a vast plain in the middle. According to the map, the deepest part is a small basin.
"Ink Pupil-kun. ”
Chen Jiu turned around when he heard the sound, only to see Xu Wen smiling and shaking the folding fan, slowly walking, changing clothes at the right time, this plain dress is slightly crisp, giving people the feeling of Yushu facing the wind.
"Xinyi and Ah Wei are both children of my inner clan, and the second stage of the great knight is cultivated, and this time they are taken care of by Lao Mo Tongjun. ”
"These days, the two of you should take the lead of the ink pupil. Let's retreat first, I have something to say to Motong-kun. ”
Xu Wen waved his hand and smiled, and the two bowed and left.
"Changfeng-kun... ”
"Let me tell. Xu Wen interrupted him, turned around and picked up the map, and said:
"In this early summer hunting, the major forces compete with each other, and in principle, it doesn't matter if they live or die. ”
"However, the major forces have people who protect their disciples, and this time, Mo Tongjun is on the bright side, and he is protecting the disciples of my City Lord's Mansion. ”
"Oh?"
A trace of confusion and incomprehension flashed on Chen Jiu's face, as a king, it would be too big for him to go to protect his disciples.
"As for the dark side, hehe... ”
Xu Wen suddenly approached Chen Jiu and whispered in his ear for a while. Chen Jiu was a little surprised, but looking at Xu Wen's confident expression, he gave up.
Staring at Chen Jiu's distant back, that steady pace, Xu Wen seemed to have taken a reassuring pill. When the long night came to an end, a wave of fatigue hit, so he undressed and went to sleep.
Chen Jiu returned to his tent and recalled Xu Wen's previous words.
"Solve the problems of the White Dragon Society and the Tiangang Sect in the outer and central regions, openly and secretly, and leave no one... ”
"This matter is a matter of my Xu family's survival, please... ”
He seemed to have doubted me a few days ago, but now he trusts me so much.
But a few days ago, he was like that.,It seems to have something to do with Lord Anyang.。。。
But since he is in trouble, I will definitely support him.
Chen Jiu thought about Xu Wen's move that seemed to go against logic, and suddenly a burst of fatigue surged up, and he also fell into a deep sleep.
Following...
When I woke up, it was the middle of the day, and the sun shone on the ice sheet like a diamond.
After a little washing, Chen Jiu ate some dry food, and remembered that he hadn't seen Lin Daze for a long time, so he went to the station of the Dunjia Sect.
The Shield Armor Sect was stationed in contact with a second-rate sect of the Sword Sect, and when Chen Jiu arrived, there was a tense momentum on both sides.
Lin Daze was standing in front of everyone in the Shield Armor Sect with a tower shield in his hand, and a man in white in front of him was a little fluttering, holding a long sword, standing with his hands in his hands.
Lin Daze suddenly smashed the ground with his shield, and a strong wind whistled overwhelming.
"Hypocrite, let's settle these years of grudges today!"
The man in white rose to his feet and swung his sword to dispel all the strong winds, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be contained. After a long time, he said coldly:
"Oh, reckless. ”
"Now that you and I are both working for the City Lord's Mansion, we won't care about you in extraordinary times. ”
"If there is a mistake this time, the city lord will not spare it!"
