The sun sinks in the west, the afterglow sinks, and everything melts into the glow from the bottom of the sky.

The snow rises suddenly, the cold wind is like a knife, and there are wild geese in the vast sky in the north of Yan Country carrying the wind southward.

The wild geese slowly crossed the mountains and met with the fleeting twilight, and at this moment, the lone peak of the cliff standing between heaven and earth burst out with white jade-like fluorescence.

"Ahh

At the next glance, four slender backs appeared under the long slope of the sunset, two people and two horses.

The man in front of him rested his hands on the back of his head, his steps were gentle, and he made a crisp sound as he stepped on the sparse snowflakes all the way. His horse always followed him, and did not run around, sometimes with his head down, sometimes with his head up.

He silently looked at the red sun that was about to fall on the cliff, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"Chen Xiu, after walking thirty miles to Yangzhou City, right? After riding a horse for three days, my butt hurts, and I am finally here. ”

"Yes, second son, if nothing happens, we will be able to return to Yangzhou City at noon tomorrow. The swordsman, who followed seven or eight paces behind him, held the reins in his left hand and his long sword in his right hand, his face full of emotion.

"It's still good in my hometown, my stomach is about to go out for three months, and I even have a salty sauce and meat noodles in that ghost place in the south, and I, Lu Jingyuan, will never go again in my life." The young man who spoke, dressed in a delicate and luxurious brocade robe, with a heavy fox fur draped over his shoulders, shook his shoulders slightly, and shook off the thin edelweiss that had accumulated for several hours and still had not melted.

"Is the second son hungry, I saw a flag floating on the top of the slope in front of me, with a long white smoke rising in the air, it should be a wine restaurant restaurant. The swordsman quickened his pace and walked no further.

"That's really good, after holding it for so long, we can taste the taste of our hometown again, let's hurry up and ride over, don't close the door in a while." The brocade boy named Lu Jingyuan stepped on the horse pedal and immediately turned over on the horse, sat down firmly, pulled the reins, and galloped away.

"Childe, slow down, wait for me. Seeing the happy demeanor of the boy in brocade, the swordsman couldn't help but smile, so he hurriedly drove his horse to chase after him.

Two red-maned horses galloped all the way, startling the snowflakes all over the ground.

After arriving at the liquor store with a cup of hot tea, the two of them tied up the big red pony and rushed into the store.

"Boss, all the delicious and delicious food are served, and I will not leave your store until I am full of wine and food, and my hands and feet will be numb!"

After Lu Jingyuan gave a loud order, he looked left and right to choose a quiet and comfortable private room, and then walked into the room, pulled the bamboo chair and sat down, the swordsman stood alone in front of the counter and said a few words, and walked over after feeling out a heavy silver or two.

"Two guest officers, the old daughter red of the small shop is first-class, I want to drink seven bottles and eight bottles, in addition to my daughter red and sauced beef, it is also a must, why don't you come some first?" The proprietress who had been sleepy and listless at the counter before saw the piece of bright silver that was half a little finger high, and her eyebrows fluttered with excitement, and she hurried to entertain these two distinguished guests from afar.

The proprietress in a red satin jacket fixed her eyes, and her eyes were staring at the boss for a while, so she was alone in a daze, and she didn't see the face of the brocade boy clearly.

It is really a flawless face, with a flying side face arc, a pair of eyes that hide aura, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised like phoenix wings, the bridge of the nose is erect, and the bottom is a thin lip with a light red.

For the first time, the young woman in the red jacket saw such a young man who looked like a god, and her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and she quickly adjusted, and her face was full of smiles.

"That's good, whatever is good, we two can eat it very well, don't be stingy in your shop. Lu Jingyuan raised his hand to taste tea, and glanced lightly at the young woman who was about thirty years old, spaciously dressed and plump, and was silent.

"Okay, bring it to the two guest officers immediately, please wait a moment. "The proprietress has silky eyes and a sweet tone.

She thinks that there is still a bit of beauty in the boundary of Wuyi Slope more than ten miles outside the city of Yangzhou, and she is called a famous beauty, and she is facing those toads who want to eat swan meat on weekdays, and she is facing each other with a frosty face, and her steps are not willing to move.

Lu Jingyuan drank four or five cups of hot tea in a row and finally quenched his thirst, and looked around again. Although it was dark in the evening, this wine shop was still full of seven or eight tables of all sizes, gathering all kinds of people.

Soon after, the proprietress with peach blossoms on her face led two small servants to come to seven or eight dishes, flying in the sky, walking on the ground, swimming in the water, and planting in the soil, everything, and full of appearance.

Lu Jingyuan stared directly at these "mountain delicacies" in front of him, recalling the miserable life before and almost leaving tears, he picked up the big bowl and began to tear the meat and swallow the rice, without even raising his head.

"Childe, eat slowly, don't choke, drink some wine, you will be tired of eating meat like this, our family has a lot of stock, and it will not make Childe hungry." ”

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

"What did you say, Childe?" The young woman looked down in confusion to listen.

"Hmm...... No...... Delicious...... Pretty good...... Hiccup......"

The robed swordsman sitting on the other side looked much more gentle than the brocade-clothed boy in front of him, and after shaving a small half bowl of rice, the swordsman turned his head and asked.

"Is there an inn near the hostess? We walked for dozens of miles along the road, and even the residents rarely saw it, so I didn't know that the hostess was familiar with this place. ”

"As for the inn, there used to be one that couldn't continue to operate and closed down, and now we don't have an inn in Wuyi Slope for more than ten miles, and there are still dozens of miles away from the city. When the young woman heard this, she raised her white hands and hugged her chest, and the scenery in her neckline was now more and more conspicuous.

"If the two guest officers want to stay in the hotel, they will go to the slave's house for a night, right? The small courtyard of the farmhouse is not far away, and it will be more convenient for the two of them to leave tomorrow. ”

The swordsman glanced at the boy in brocade, who had already eaten and said that he was ready to go on his way at any time.

"Thanks to the kindness of the boss, when you go out, it is not appropriate to cause trouble to others, not to mention that the boss lady is a woman, and it is inconvenient for us two big men to go to the night, so as not to attract tongues and affect the boss lady in the future. ”

"That's good. The slave family will not force the two sons to stay. ”

"Oh, by the way, the slave family suddenly remembered that there was an ancient house and old temple two miles ahead, and some merchants and rangers would go there to spend the night, but the environment was not so good, and it was not as good as the farmhouse courtyard. The beautiful and mature young woman sighed a little, could it be that this young man was not a man, and he had not looked at her a few times from beginning to end.

Maybe it's because she's old, and she's a little lost.

"Well, thank you lady for this delicious hospitality! ”

Just as the two of them were about to get up and leave, a wave of people came to the store, a little bustling and noisy, it was a white-clothed scholar who led the way, surrounded by seven or eight burly sword-wielding servants behind him.

The white-clothed scholar looked solemn when he entered the store, and the servants who had been gossiping non-stop before were instantly silent when they saw the change in the expression of the adult.

The group found a good place and sat down, and ordered the little maid to serve wine and food.

The white-clothed scholar was silent for a long time and drank the hot tea in one gulp.

"Heh, if we can't find Miss in five days, we will all have to die and apologize, you guys are quite happy, what a bunch of useless rice bucket fools. The white-clothed scholar with a pair of cloudy eyes sneered.

"Lord Wang, the gangster who kidnapped Miss is a famous wild cultivator bandit outside Yangzhou City, and it has always been difficult to find a trace, so how can we who are useless people find it? Besides, if we find it, can we win? Can we save Miss? This is impossible!" The squire with a knife with a thick and thin beard on his chin looked worse than death.

"Zhang Chong really made a good plan, Miss was abducted and ran away, pushed me up, wanted to use me as a substitute for the dead, I won't do what he wants, even if I die, I will drag him into the water, I really think I will be eaten by you all the way to the end, wait and see." The white-clothed scholar said viciously, and then a chilling edge erupted in his pupils, and he turned around and left his seat and walked out of the shop, leaving behind a dumbfounded servant.

"We haven't eaten yet......"

"Eat, eat, eat! You idiot knows how to eat!"

"If you are still eating, your head will be lost, and you are still worried about eating, and you still don't want to keep up with Lord Wang!" the thin-haired attendant tore off a chicken leg and hurriedly chased it out, and the rest of the people looked depressed but helpless, so they could only follow out with a hard head.

"Alas, boss lady, is there something going on in this Yangzhou City?" Lu Jingyuan waited for all the people to leave, and then walked to the counter to ask.

"Oh, Gongzi didn't know that a few days ago, the youngest daughter of Lord Yu of the Household Department in Yangzhou City was kidnapped, I heard that it was the enemy who committed the crime, and the guest housekeeper of Yufu has been scurrying left and right within a radius of more than ten miles in the past few days, and every two hours a large group of people are searching around. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"Then thank you for the hostess's food, let's take our leave!" After the wine and food were full, there was no trace of fatigue on the face of the young man in brocade, and after straightening his clothes, he saluted the beautiful woman who had been opening his eyebrows to him, and then stepped out of the threshold of the store.

The two of them worked non-stop, and finally found the ancient mansion before it was dark, and after inspecting the surroundings, they led the horse into the courtyard of the two-way mansion.

The house had been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds and puddles, but fortunately the house had not been destroyed enough for a short period of time, and when the door was opened, the swordsman found some remnants of dry wood in the corner of the house, and piled some in front of the door, and lit them with a fire breaker.

"Chen Xiu, this is an ancient temple dedicated to the gods, you see that this statue is so huge and mighty, it is really rare in the world. ”

After the scorching light spreads and flows in the room, the interior pattern structure is clearly visible, and there is a statue of the martial god about one zhang high sitting in the center, holding a gong in one hand and a palm print in the other, and the martial god's shoulders are wrapped around the gilded fairy silk, and the eyes are like torches, as if they can breathe fire.

"This seems to be the statue of the Martial Virtue Immortal Monarch, and it is strange that the Martial God will be enshrined here. Chen Xiu was a little surprised.

"What is this, maybe this was originally the ancestral hall of a certain martial arts master, a place dedicated to teaching people to practice martial arts, or a martial temple built by the people of Wuyipo spontaneously to worship the true god of martial arts. Lu Jingyuan was a little tired, so he didn't turn around, leaned on the side wall of the stone pier of the statue and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"If the son is tired, rest early, there is no need to worry about Chen Xiu in everything. ”

"Okay, I'll go to bed first, you can rest early later, you have to hurry tomorrow, you have to recuperate." Since Lu Jingyuan leaned against the altar of the idol, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, the sound in his ears was getting smaller and smaller, and he had fallen into a deep sleep after a stick of incense.

Lu Jingyuan stepped into an unknown realm in a dream.

The heaven and earth were extremely bleak, without a trace of brilliance, there was no sun or moon above the sky, and there were only endless lines of biting rain, rain like threads, threads like needles.

The soil beneath his feet was muddy and difficult to walk, sinking an inch with every step, and the swamp was wriggling with bright red blood, scorching the body and soul of pedestrians.

"Ahh

"Charge! The Terrans will never perish! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the last struggle!"

"The sword is indestructible, and the fight will not stop!"

"Swear to destroy the demon clan!"

Suddenly, there was a storm in the heavens and the earth, countless angry cries rose from the ground, countless banners and flags were stirring, and countless figures came forward one after another, carrying light and crashing into darkness.

In the midst of pain, he looked up at the sky, and a vague figure floated above the sky thousands of feet above the ground, holding a giant sword......

In another piece of heaven and earth surging in darkness, a big hand of white bones stretched out to cover tens of thousands of living beings, and then tore the light apart and swallowed it.

In a few days, corpses piled up into mountains, blood flowed into rivers, ghosts cried wolves, and the heavens and the earth were unclear.

Lu Jingyuan stared at this strange thing in a daze, his eyes were cracked, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind behind him, and the momentum was extremely strong.

He turned slowly, but there was a sharp pain in his chest, which hit his heart.

A sword on the verge of shattering pierced his chest with lightning speed.

The sword bearer was a woman, with long flowing hair, a blood-stained face, and a determined gaze, and her lips were slightly open at this moment.

"Die forever. ”
