Part 1 Once Upon a Time in the North Chapter 6 A Night Tour
"I Changtian Xu's family, it seems that it is finally going to be revitalized. ”
Xu Wen looked at Chen Jiu's distant back, took a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile.
"Two kings, hahahahaha... ”
Suddenly, there was no one laughing loudly.
"Teacher, your knife. ”
Chen Jiu stepped out of the pavilion, the night wind blew his hair, and Xiao You stood respectfully aside, holding Chen Jiu's long black knife in both hands.
"I've been rubbing it for you lately. ”
Chen Jiu drew his knife and waved it lightly, the familiar feeling made him feel a little stunned like a world away. Collecting the knife, Chen Jiu said lightly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Yes, there you go. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao You bowed and retreated, and Chen Jiu took advantage of the night and walked slowly back to his courtyard.
The night is deep, the moon is in the sky, and there are no clouds. As soon as my mind moved, this vast world seemed to be in full view. Listen to the murmuring of the stream, and look at the vastness of the stars. The rivers and mountains are picturesque, just like the green silk and white hair that sings tirelessly.
Looking back on the past 28 years, the former Baidao Chen family was so thriving, and how high-spirited he was in the past.
All of them were shattered that night... Chen Jiu muttered, and couldn't help but fall into painful memories again.
The faint wail seemed to echo in his ears again, and he sighed deeply.
The pavilion was blazing, and the night sky was already shrouded in spreading black smoke and dust. It was a large array set up by dozens of dark warlocks, and the eyes of the array were Lin Xie who would be killed by Chen Jiu in the future.
Countless twisted creatures trampled on the century-old foundation of the Chen family. A large number of ghosts screamed from time to time, tearing people's bodies, and a group of zombie puppets smashed everywhere, leaving no chickens and dogs everywhere they went. Countless people struggled and pleaded in agony, and then died.
Blood, blood everywhere.
At the age of thirteen, he was already shivering, cowering under a broken wall. The father of the Fifth Rank Great Knight Cultivator dragged him all the way and pulled himself into the secret passage. His father's face was full of horror and despair, and he had no power to fight back in the face of the god-killing Lin Xie in the air.
The father trembled and stuffed the ancestral black long knife into his arms, caressing his childish cheeks, and his expression was a little peaceful:
"My son, go quickly, and don't look back. ”
Seeing that he was unmoved, his father stretched out his hands and patted his shoulders, and said to himself:
"The hundred-year-old bloodline inheritance can't be cut off from me, go quickly, Dad is blocking them. ”
After that, he rushed out without looking back, and the back without hesitation was moving. The boulder fell, sealing the passage completely.
"Don't... ”
Chen Jiu clearly remembered that this seemed to be his last words to his father, and this also became an eternal pain in his heart.
That's probably the biggest mistake I made to my father. The wrapped black gauze was wet.
That night, the Hundred Swords Chen Clan, which was also a second-rate force in the north, was actually destroyed, and there was not one out of the hundreds of thousands of residents in Hundred Swords City.
Fifteen years have passed, and the memory is blurred, and Chen Jiu has forgotten how long he has been gone that day and how he spent the past fifteen years.
Do you want to support me to go on?
Probably yes, a forest evil, it's not over. I've finally reached the royal rank, the Dark Warlock Guild, wait, I, I'm going to kill you all!
Chen Jiu gritted his teeth and roared, pounding the ground hysterically, unable to calm down for a long time.
When I returned to the familiar courtyard, I saw that the door was lightly closed, and the lights were lit in the house. Pushing the door in, Uncle Tie was sitting on a chair with a delicate food box on the table.
Seeing Chen Jiu coming back, Uncle Tie stood up and said:
"Lord Chen Jiu, the head of the family said that you were hungry, so he asked me to bring some food. ”
"Oh, thank you, and thank you Brother Xu for me. There was a slight delay on the road just now. Uncle Tie, you can sit too. ”
Chen Jiu said with a smile. Uncle Tie opened the lid of the box, took out all kinds of dishes in it, and set half a table, with meat and vegetarian dishes, and there was no shortage of great supplements. took out two more plates of pastries, put a pair of chopsticks in front of Chen Jiu, and Uncle Tie turned around and said goodbye.
The dough is slightly cool, but still chewy. Sandwiched with side dishes, it is a delicious taste. On the table, there are more tender lamb legs and oily fish heads. About half an hour, Chen Jiu finished eating, lay down on the table, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dusk the next day, and Chen Jiu stood up with some reluctance, as if he had never rested so indulgently in fifteen years.
I washed my body with water from the well, wiped the wooden table, and washed the dishes from last night. When all this is done, the moonlight reflects the door, showing a quiet beauty, the shadows of the people are swaying, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the breeze is coming, and drinking alone under this moon is really a great pleasure in life.
Carrying a knife, he set off and went out of the city lord's mansion. Although the night in Changtian City is not lively, it is not lonely. Thinking that he had been staying at home in the City Lord's Mansion for several months, Chen Jiu decided to walk around this Changtian City tonight.
Heading north, several blocks are the territory of the Heart Pavilion. There are bright lights, there are Fang City Chamber of Commerce, and there are also sons and beauties walking together.
Heading east, you step into a few deep alleys. There are few pedestrians, and there are only a few shops in between. There is a noodle restaurant, the owner is lazily lying on the table, sometimes shouting, but also at ease.
Out of the alley, he entered the territory of the Shield Armor Sect, there were not many pavilions, and they were slightly low. In the center is an extremely wide arena. Following the sonorous sound of metal, Chen Jiu approached step by step, but saw the familiar sturdy figure.
"Brother Daze?" Chen Jiu stopped and asked tentatively.
The man looked back:
"Brother Chen Jiu, you look good. ”
"It's okay. What is Brother Daze doing here?" Chen Jiu asked with a bitter smile.
"You probably don't know, I'm the sect master of this shield armor sect. Lin Daze's voice carried a touch of bitterness:
"My Shield Armor Sect has been in decline for a long time, and it was secretly merged into the City Lord's Mansion many years ago. I also hung up the name of Keqing there. ”
"So, no wonder. Chen Jiu sighed lightly.
There are about hundreds of disciples on the martial arts field, all holding tower shields, their movements are powerful, and their shouts and cheers are uniform. Lin Daze stared at it for a long time, his eyes mixed with a little relief.
The two parted, and Chen Jiu climbed the towering city wall alone.
The thick walls of Changtian City stretched for hundreds of miles, enclosing a small circle. Three slightly lower and thinner walls rose from the outer wall and extended into the city, meeting at the city lord's mansion, dividing the vast area of the city into three.
Under the faint shadow of the moon, the sparse footsteps of the guards of the city were faintly heard. Chen Jiu then disappeared and sat on the ground. Mountains in the distance rise and fall, and scattered small villages are located outside the city, sparsely populated with a few families carrying lamps.
Just sit like this, enjoy the scenery alone. The night wind blew away Chen Jiu's long hair, blew open his clothes, and the night gradually deepened.
