Chapter 22: The Mysterious Black Robe
In a cave behind the waterfall waterfall, a naked man is sitting cross-legged. The man's robe had been shattered into rags. The man's smooth skin at the moment was still shining with silver-white thunder arcs. If there is a martial artist in the martial realm who can spy on the man's body, he will definitely be surprised.
Thirty acupuncture points have been opened in the man's body, and the moon lingers between the acupoints, flowing along the man's widened crystal meridians. The world in the man's body is still lightning and thunder at this moment, but this thunder and lightning does not exude any terrifying aura, and it is being devoured by the world in the body with the few silver rays left.
On the ground around the man, in addition to scattered strips of rags, a layer of black-brown debris had piled up. It was the dirt and impurities sent out by the body when refining and absorbing the thunder at the same time, because it had been air-dried for more than a month and fell from the surface of the body. Not far from the man, there were white bones scattered all over the ground. It was originally a complete skeleton, but due to the lack of some kind of energy to maintain, it gradually turned into dust in a few days due to weathering over time. History is like this, whether it is an object left behind or a story passed down by word of mouth, or a certain period of inherited memory, it needs to be deliberately maintained by people. What the world sees is nothing more than what the world wants to see, or what our ancestors wanted the world to see. Just like the broken bones in this place, without the maintenance and protection of the red backbone, it will turn into dust in an instant, drift away and invisible, and drown in the long river of time, if it is not for a man and a beast to witness its existence, perhaps no one in the world still knows that there is a burial here 10,000 years ago, when the gate of heaven was opened, the remains of a heavenly wolfdog. How can the world know how majestic this corpse was when it was alive, but it can swallow the moon with roaring sky.
And such a strong person is now also covered with dust, not to mention the vast expanse? In the long river of time, it is just an insignificant grain of sand. Or a warrior seeks a higher realm throughout his life, not only for the sake of immortality, but also for the sake of one day when he cannot live forever, the future generations can have their own light and shadow in the long river of time, instead of the dust submerged by time.
On top of the broken bones on the ground, a small beast the size of a palm was crawling. It's just that at this moment, the fur of the little beast is no longer as black as ink, but black with dark red. It seems that there is a raging flame burning in the body, and the fire seems to be about to burst out. But it didn't seem that the little beast felt any burning pain, and a pair of eyes that turned from dark green to dark red were spinning, staring at the naked man sitting in front of him, with a humane expectation in his eyes.
One person and one beast have gained here, and they have been cultivating for more than a month, but they don't know that the outside world has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past three days, the martial artists who are searching for treasures in the cave are no longer talking about the Yuwen family's humiliation of Yunyin Villa, but a black-robed man with a mysterious identity who will deliberately spread the rumors of Yunyin Villa's humiliation have pulled out their tongues and broken bones, making the injured unable to speak or cultivate. This person is unscrupulous and ruthless, and he doesn't estimate whether the other party has a powerful sect as a background backer. Any warrior who is targeted by this person will hardly have the slightest power to fight back, and he will be defeated, his limbs will be directly cut off, and his tongue will be directly pulled out. If it is in the outside world, the martial artist's hands and feet are broken, and with the background of the great power and the sect, he can be reborn with broken bones, just spending some money and effort, and it will not affect the martial artist's cultivation in the future at all.
But here, the martial artist's cultivation is suppressed, and he can't use his vitality to protect the wound in winter, so that he can heal his injuries in the future, even if the stump and broken arm are recovered with a special technique, and he returns to the sect in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any hope of recovery. What's more, there is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and those who are keen on killing people and taking advantage of the fire to rob the mountains and rivers may be afraid of the life-saving cards and sect backgrounds of the people of these forces in ordinary times. If it is rashly sold, unless it is sure that it will be killed with one blow, it will be entangled, and with the life-saving means of these children of the family, they will inevitably escape, and when they are out of the tomb, they will inevitably be wiped out by the power of the sect at all costs. But now things are very different.
The people of these forces have all been deposed, and they are the best prey of these mountain and wild cultivators. As a result, almost nine out of ten injured people will be killed and robbed. For a time, such a scene was formed in the tomb. Either out of ignorance or by some people secretly benefiting, they spread rumors of slander and insult Yunyin Villa, and these people would encounter a figure covered in black robes, who would strike like lightning without saying a word, wound these unspeakable people one by one, and then turned away. Immediately after that, Ye Xiu will kill the injured person and take the treasure away. Everyone didn't know the identity of the merchant, but this person was for the Yun family, and everyone would consciously or unconsciously think that it was the secret guard brought into the tomb by the Yun family. And the person who kills people, even if many people understand that the people of the Yun family will not do such a thing as adding to the snake, it must be done by Ye Xiu, who is good at killing people and making more goods, but maybe it is to add fuel to the fire, or to count this account on the head of Yunyin Villa. For a while, there was such a saying among the martial artists in this place, that is, the people of the Yun family were unwilling to be humiliated, so they hurriedly jumped over the wall and wanted to block the mouth of Youyou by killing people and destroying their mouths, so as not to damage the reputation of Yunyin Villa after going out. For a while, Yunyin Villa went from a miserable defeat to the Yuwen family and could only survive by humiliation under his crotch, to a villain who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and could only save face by killing people and destroying his mouth, from being spurned by thousands of people to being targeted by everyone.
But those who have a heart can find the strangeness of this matter. Yunyin Villa has been very low-key in the rivers and lakes and the Great Xia Dynasty over the years, and there are few shocking acts. And Yunyin Villa has always cherished feathers, except for the soldiers who are straight to guide the beam, there will hardly have too many disputes with the forces of Great Xia, so hard and forbearance for many years, will it really be because of the deliberate instigation of the Yuwen family and chaos? Although the people who came here from Yunyin Villa are all juniors, but the person who took the lead is Yun Xuexiao, who has always been known for his calm personality, this person is the successor of Yunyin City recognized by Yunyin Villa and Yunyin City, how could its city government make a pity to lose to Yuwen Xing, and do such a thing to make countless enemies for Yunyin Villa? Presumably, the black-robed man who shot was a good play directed by the Yuwen family itself.
In a small hill, more than a dozen young men in white sat together, but no fire was lit. The gloom on everyone's faces was even colder in the moonlight. The young man sitting in the middle was twenty years old, with a handsome and heroic face, and this person's right general was bandaging the wound medicine. Seeing that the young man's pranayama had ended, he opened his eyes, and a young man in white with a gloomy face sitting opposite him said: "The Yuwen family is really vicious, not only has the young city lord been injured so badly, but also spread rumors around insulting our Yunyin Mountain Villa and Yunyin City. That's it, they pretended to be people in black, killed all the rumors they arranged, and did the work of unloading the mill and killing donkeys, but in the end, they wanted to buckle this basin on our Yun family's head. ”
"Yes, they Yuwen family Bokan Prefecture stayed well, and came to our Yin Xunzhou to make waves, do you really think that the few people they brought can turn the sky under the nose of our Yun family?
"That's it, the dog's Yuwenxing of the day is raised. One person directly burst into foul language, "Their Yuwen family was calculating our Yunyin Mountain Villa from the beginning, and we were used as gunmen without doing anything, which is really funny." ”
The young man in the center frowned when he heard what everyone said, and his face was a little dark. He pressed his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and he spoke: "It's me Yunxue who is useless, and I am confused for a while and win against Yuwenxing." At that time, I had already guessed that this son might have a backhand, but I was too arrogant at the time to think that I would lose to this son, and finally caused my Yun family to fall into the current dilemma. After returning to Yunyin City, he should ask his father and uncle for punishment. ”
As soon as Yun Xue's words came out, the complaints and dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts that he dared not speak out were almost wiped out, and the somewhat loose military heart was gathered.
"What did the young city lord say. At that time, the head boy of Yuwen Xing made a speech to humiliate us and others, if the young city lord was indifferent at that time, I am afraid that it will really chill the hearts of the brothers. ”
"Yes, young city lord, who would have thought that the people of the Yuwen family would be so insidious, and would set up such a big pit to tempt us to jump into it. If it weren't for the uselessness of our people, otherwise we would have slaughtered Yuwenxing, a bastard. ”
Everyone's words relieved Yun Xuexiao, making the latter's face smile a little more, and he said: "Everyone is the mainstay of Yunyin Mountain Villa and Yunyin City in the future, otherwise the family would not have chosen you to enter this place with me." Don't mess up because of a Yuwen family. In the future, when we succeed in cultivation, one day we will definitely be ashamed of today. It seemed that after hearing the pun in these words, everyone began to express their hearts again.
On a river beach a hundred miles away from here, a group of more than ten people were dressed in water-red brocade costumes. Everyone was cooking on a fire, and it seemed very pleasant. A beautiful woman dressed as a maid carried a white jade tray full of elaborate dishes, walked up to a young man with an evil face, knelt on her knees and whispered, "Please have a meal." Then he knelt there motionless, holding the tray with both hands, just the height suitable for the young man to eat, and his arms did not tremble in the slightest, and the young man chewed and swallowed slowly. The young man ate about two pillars of incense for about a while, and the woman knelt on two pillars of incense for a long time. The young man only let out an "um" sound after eating, and the girl got up and stepped back and left with the leftovers.
Seeing that the young man had finished eating, a man of his age walked up to the former, knelt down on one knee and said, "Childe." ”
"Did you find out?" asked the man called Childe in a somewhat soft voice.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the people sent are all broken. The kneeling man bowed his head.
"What did this person do?"
"Yes, I can't see the man's methods and paths. ”
"Oh, not from the Yun family?"
"It shouldn't be someone from the Yun family, what this person is doing is obviously making enemies for the Yun family. ”
"I didn't expect Huang Que to be behind, this person's means are clever. It seems that Yunyin Mountain Villa is going to settle all the accounts on our heads this time. The young man smiled wickedly.
"Childe, will we have a problem going to Los Angeles City in the future?"
The young man waved his hand lazily and said, "No, the Yun family knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs this time." By the way, I heard that the young owner of the Yun family has been abolished, and he has left the Yunyin Villa?"
"Yes, it seems that something happened to Yunyin Mountain Villa before, but the Yun family's news is very strict this time, and several of our teeth have been extracted. So what happened to the fall is unknown. But more than a month ago, Yun Xuelan left Yunyin Mountain Villa in a high-profile manner, but it seems that her whereabouts are unknown not long after leaving Yunyin City. Now even Yunyin Villa's own people are looking for his whereabouts. ”
Hearing this, the lazy young man finally became more solemn, he raised his eyes and said with some playfulness: "Oh? It seems that this son of the Yun family is really interesting, but it is much more interesting than his cousin, I would like to see it if I have the chance." The young man waved his hand, closed his eyes and nestled himself in the soft recliner. The man kneeling on the ground in front of him quietly retreated. When everyone in the Yuwen family saw that their son was pretending to sleep, they became quiet.
In a forest, there were several warriors who were scurrying around the forest in embarrassment, and they looked back from time to time, with a look of horror and panic on their faces that could not be concealed. One of them panted and said, "Senior Brother Yin, it's not a big deal for us to run like this, so it's better to fight with him." After speaking, he stopped, and looked like he was at home.
"Yes, he is simply too deceitful, when did we respect the people of Yutai, when did we suffer such insults and grievances, let's fight with him. The other agreed, perhaps his face pale as paper because he had run too quickly. Pull out the long knife worn at your waist.
"Nonsense! Do you think we are really the man's opponents? So many people who have entered this place have died at his hands, and you think we will be more clever than those people? Fight with him? Then you can only die. The leader scolded.
As they spoke, a black shadow flashed out from the tree in front of several people, blocking everyone's way. The disciple holding the knife in his hand felt that his whole body was being stared at by a pair of poisonous snake's eyes, and a chill unconsciously rose from his back, he shivered, and then his body froze on the spot. He had a braid around his neck, and the man's neck was swollen purple and he was not breathing. The other people woke up like a dream, gathered together, and looked at the black-robed man in front of them trembling.
"You, you've followed us all the way, what are you going to do?" asked the man at the head, pretending to be calm.
The black-robed man didn't say a word, nor did he make the slightest move. Just like that, he scanned back and forth over everyone with a pair of snake-like eyes. There was a slightly chubby man in the group on the opposite side who seemed to have thought of something, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it was the people of the Yuwen family who arranged for us to spread the rumors about Yunyin Mountain Villa. If you want to find someone to settle accounts, you should find Yuwen's family, find us to settle ......" Before the person's voice fell, his neck was already strangled by a braid, and there was a crisp sound of "click".
Half a cup of tea, eight bodies lay in the forest. The black robe is like an owl lurking in the night, looking for the next batch of mice.
