In the world of Hunyuan, the ancestors of all the people started in Jiuli in southern Xinjiang, and went north into the land of Kyushu in China, and established the Xia Kingdom. The ancestor Feng Xia Emperor, the capital Shengjing, the year name Dayan, the peaceful and prosperous era, the country and the people.

The south of the Xia country arrives at Cangshan, and there is a small country in the south of Cangshan, called "Cloud Country". Yunguo is still martial, one of the three ancestors of the Dark Luo Hall and one of the nine sects of the Southern Xinjiang Lingyu Sect are in the country.

There is a big river to the south of Yunguo, which is called Lan River. The Lan River flows into the sea from west to east, and it has been flowing for thousands of years. There is a tribe on the bank of the river, called the Yuanliu tribe. The Yuanliu tribe lived along the river and died by the river. The Yuanliu tribe is sparsely numbered, very good at fishing and hunting, and has a strong body.

The Lan River is Jiuli to the south, since the ancestors of all people left Jiuli, the land of southern Xinjiang has been eroded by filth and demons, among which the light is strange, the poisonous miasma is pervasive, and the demons are rampant, and the masters of the world cannot enter.

As for the south of Jiuli, it is said that it is an endless ocean, but Jiuli is dangerous, and no one has crossed the Xia Kingdom for thousands of years, so it is unknown.

The Lan River originates from the Longitudinal Plateau in the west of the Xia Kingdom, crosses the Hengyun Mountains and flows through the Western Regions of the Xia Kingdom, and then reaches the southern Xinjiang of the Xia Kingdom. Although the Western Regions of the Xia Kingdom are nominally the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the mountains and rivers are far away, and few people come, so most of the world's understanding of the Western Regions comes from the "Kongming Sect" that preached everywhere. Originating in the land of dreams on the Plateau, the Kongming Sect believes in the interpretation of God, teaches the people to walk in the world, and spreads and interprets the teachings of the Venerable. The Vajra Sect of the Nine Sects is located in the Western Regions, and most of the disciples of the sect are followers of the Kongming Sect.

The main altar of the Kongming Sect is in the country of dreams. The people of the Dream Country all believe in the Empty Ming Sect, and even the Lord of the Dream Country must first be recognized by the Empty Ming Sect before he can succeed to the throne.

The Kingdom of Dreams and the Kingdom of Xia are bounded by the mountains and rivers of Hengyun, which run north-south and to the north, and to the north are the vast grasslands of the north. There are many tribes on the grassland, and they are collectively known as the barren herding country. The country of barren herding is headed by the elders of the five major tribes of Bo, Da, Ming, Shi, and Ye, but there is intrigue between the various tribes, and they look like they are separated.

The extreme north of the continent is a land of thousands of miles of ice, bitter cold all year round, and no grass grows, but there are fierce and barbarian races that have risen from this. The ferocious alien race has the appearance of ordinary people, but it has scales on its back, likes to eat human flesh, has no fixed place, and is the best at aggression. The ethnic group traveled all the way south, crossing the grasslands of the north and reaching the mountains in the north of the Xia Kingdom. In order to prevent foreign invasion, Emperor Xia set up 157 passes between the mountains to protect the frontier.

As for the east of Kyushu in the Xia Kingdom, it is a vast sea. There are archipelagos on the sea, and many natural treasures are born, and the Sword Forging Sect of the Nine Sects is on the largest island. Except for a few attached to the Sword Casting Sect, most of the islands in the sea are self-contained and have different cultural customs. In overseas places, there are often storms and waves, and it is inconvenient for ships to navigate, so there are many unknown places on the sea.

Under the rule of Jiangnan Siyun Mansion, a young man in a green shirt walked on the bustling street with a folding fan in his hand, looking around with interest. He was followed by an old slave who was not good-looking, and he followed suit. This old man is skinny and skinny, and he looks like a candle in the wind, but every step he takes, there is a faint entanglement of true qi under his feet, and dust, insects and ants are not allowed to get close!

The young man looked at the groceries of the street vendors, and asked the old slave behind him: "Uncle Zhong, everyone else says that the most prestigious thing in this Siyun Mansion is the Qinglou to buy laughter and the red powder to chase joy, I have been here in the Siyun Mansion for a few days, why haven't I seen it?"

The old slave lowered his head, clenched his fists and said, "The Emperor......"

As soon as the old slave spit out a word, the young man's expression changed sharply, and the folding fan in his hand closed with a "swish". "Huh?" The young man's eyes were as bright as a sword, his face was angry, and his momentum was like a real dragon descending into the world, and the surrounding vendors almost knelt down and kowtowed when they saw this scene!

The old slave knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Young master, Xunhua asked Liu to say something good, but it was just a pickled matter, and your noble body would never be able to go." ”

"Uncle Zhong, the queen mother and the master don't allow me to go, and you also say that I can't go. The young man raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm getting more and more curious! I just have to see how capable this so-called pink skeleton is!"

"Young master, if you are determined to go, the old slave will not dare to stop you, but ......"

"Young Master Ben will not cure your crimes. The young man smiled and said: "I don't embarrass you, I'll find it myself, go by myself, you just don't know." ”

"Thank you, young master. ”

The young man threw down two taels of silver, picked up two small things from the vendor, and strode away. When the young man and the old slave were gone, a line of beggars suddenly emerged from the alley! One of the beggars approached the vendor, took a dagger from his pocket, and slapped it on the vendor's container. The vendor was about to exclaim when the beggar covered his mouth. The beggar whispered, "If you want to live, forget the two people you just met!"

"Know...... Know...... Got it. "The peddler had never experienced such a thing, and as soon as his legs went limp, a stream of heat flowed out. When he came back to his senses, there was still the figure of a beggar just now, only to find that there was a heavy bag in his hand! He opened the bag, and it was full of silver! After glancing at the ragged beggar lying on the corner of the street, the peddler hurriedly collected the stall and prepared to go home.

As soon as the vendor left, the ragged beggar on the corner also stood up and quietly followed behind the vendor.

Around the corner, a few beggars gathered. One of them whispered, "Commander, the people have followed." ”

"Let's get something to eat...... a beggar stretched out a broken bowl and begged for it in the street, and then whispered: "Find out the family history, if there is a problem, just do it." ”

"Commander, you said that we Xuanyuan Wei want to pretend to be a beggar here. Who is that man we are protecting?"

The commander squinted his eyes and said, "Xuanyuan Wei is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, who do you say we are protecting?"

"Dominion means ......"

"Be careful!" the Commander scolded, saying, "Be careful, and disperse!"

Several beggars nodded hurriedly and left, leaving the beggar leader alone. "It would be good if the young man's heart of the saint was sharpened in this trip. ”

In the Outer Island Sword Casting Sect, Sect Master Gu Pinglan sat in the main hall, drinking and looking at the huge sword tablet outside the hall. His arms were strong, but his appearance was very elegant. As soon as he finished drinking the wine in his glass, his eyes suddenly flashed and he laughed.

The young man standing next to him with a sword hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, is it a sword?"

Gu Pinglan was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "It's done! It's done! After several years of refining in the Houshan Ding Furnace, this sword is finally done!"

"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master! Get this sword, the master will definitely be the first swordsman in the world!"

Gu Pinglan was obviously extremely useful, and his smile was even greater! At that moment, a sword light came in the air! Gu Pinglan flipped his hand, and the wine glass in his hand was thrown! As soon as the celadon wine glass met the sword light, it was split into two in the blink of an eye! Gu Pinglan immediately knew the identity of the person who came, and the two fingers of his right hand formed a sword, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed out a sword qi! "Bang!" The real qi collided, setting off a shocking wave!

Before the waves of qi dissipated, a black-shirted swordsman descended from the sky! Without saying a word, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, directly approaching Gu Pinglan! The long sword in the black-clothed swordsman's hand was cold, and it was a sharp sword! His swordsmanship was exquisite, and his sword intent was resolute, and he had obviously entered the realm of the supreme grandmaster! Gu Pinglan's long sword was unsheathed, and his sword moves opened and closed widely, and after blocking the long sword of the black-clothed swordsman with his blade, he shouted angrily: "Sword idiot! What are you doing again!"

"When the sword is born, you must come to see it. This black-clothed swordsman is none other than Chu Wunian, a well-known "sword idiot" on the rivers and lakes! With a shake of the long sword in his hand, he forced Gu Pinglan back a few steps!

"Dead sword idiot! You are a Ming robbery! Don't think that you can still do whatever you want on the territory of my Sword Casting Sect!" Gu Pinglan divided the long sword in his hand into two swords, one sword in one hand, and said: "Let's try it! I haven't seen you in the past five years, how much your swordsmanship has improved!"

Chu Wunian snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand burst out of the wind! His sword was only a quick word! Ruthless, desireless, and endlessly infatuated just for the perfection of a sword! Gu Pinglan was originally staring at the long sword in Chu Wunian's hand, but he couldn't see this sword at all! He only felt a haze in front of him, as if Chu Wunian didn't have a long sword in his hand! When he came back to his senses, the tip of Chu Wunian's sword was already against his throat!

"Dang!" Gu Pinglan's long sword fell to the ground, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead. His Adam's apple could even clearly feel the chill of the long sword in Chu Wunian's hand! "No sword." Gu Pinglan swallowed his saliva and said, "You and I are both above the top ten grades...... How could you ......"

"I'm not grabbing a sword. Chu Wunian returned his sword to the sheath, walked past Gu Pinglan's side, and said, "After taking a look, I will leave." ”

Gu Pinglan looked at Chu Wunian's arrogant back, his face pale. Chu Wunian walked forward by himself, and was suddenly shocked! He pulled out the long sword in his hand and slashed it behind him! He stared at Gu Pinglan and said coldly: "I really didn't expect that the dignified Sword Forging Sect Sect Master, who failed the competition, would do such a sinister and cunning thing!"

Gu Pinglan picked up his long sword and sneered: "If I let an outsider come and go freely in my Sword Forging Sect, where will I put my face when I pass it on?"

"Your sword heart is not worth mentioning at all!" Chu Wunian invoked his true qi to try to suppress the bleeding from the wound on his back! But the stab that Gu Pinglan had just sneaked up on was insidious and vicious, and it had already hurt his meridians! Moreover, Gu Pinglan's short knife seemed to have been quenched with poison, and Chu Wunian's true qi was becoming more and more weak and delirious!

"This heart-devouring poison has a good effect, isn't it?" Gu Pinglan raised the corners of his mouth lightly and said, "I didn't want to deal with a celebrity like you. ”

Chu Wunian was already running out of strength to hold the sword. He had no choice but to hold the long sword with one hand and said in a cold voice, "It seems that you want me to die in this Sword Forging Sect today." ”

"What did the sword idiot brother say. Gu Pinglan said with a smile: "My Sword Forging Sect just picked up a floating corpse on the beach, and after inspection, I found out that it was a sword idiot brother." As for where Chu Wunian and Chu Daxia died, it has nothing to do with my Sword Forging Sect, and the Snow Heart Sword that the sword idiot carries with him is also missing. ”

"A person like you is the sect master of the Sword Forging Sect, and it is really a misfortune for martial arts. I'm also blind, the long sword you have forged now is at most killing pigs and cutting vegetables! Covet the Xuexin Sword? You don't deserve it!" As soon as Chu Wunian's words fell, the long sword in his hand slashed out a shocking sword aura, rolling up thick smoke and dust! When the smoke and dust dissipated, where was Chu Wunian's figure!

"Ran away?" Gu Pinglan frowned slightly, and said to himself: "You can still condense such a move when the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, you are worthy of being a sword idiot." However, if he uses this trick, he is not far from death. He glanced at the shivering young disciple hiding in the corner and walked towards him coldly.

"Master, Master, I won't say anything!" the disciple hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "No, I don't see anything!

Gu Pinglan was not moved at all, and the long sword fell, turning this disciple who usually served him into a cold corpse. He snorted coldly and said, "The dead are the safest." ”

"Someone! Sword idiot Chu Wunian trespassed into the sect, killed my Sword Casting Sect disciples, and took away my Sword Casting Sect's treasures! Quickly send orders to the major sects to hunt down and kill Chu Wunian!"

——

On Wudang Mountain, one of the three ancestors of martial arts in the world, a white-haired old man climbed the mountain slowly, and his robe moved without wind. The old man is like a crane outside the dust, with a childish face, walking through thousands of stone steps and still breathing steadily, stepping on a muddy dirt road without a trace of dust!

Walking to the mountainside, the white-haired old man seemed to be a little tired, so he sat in the hexagonal pavilion on the mountainside, and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. The old man sat down to rest for a while, and then an old man in a Taoist robe came from the top of the mountain, bowed and said, "Mountain Chief, why are you here?"

"Heyan, sit down and rest for a while. The old man pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You are not the head of the Taoist temple, why did you come to me?"

The crane man wearing a robe is Xiao Heyan, the head of Wudang. He respectfully sat down beside the old man and said, "The mountain chief is here, and I will definitely come." I just don't know, why bother the mountain chief?"

"For your apprentice, Chu Linfeng. The old man said, "The prayer ceremony in March next year cannot be overlooked. ”

Xiao Heyan was shocked, and said suspiciously: "Mountain Chief, Linfeng is indeed arrogant by nature, but he can assassinate the saint ...... such a thing."

"It's not certain whether the Ji family doll will come, but you have to sit firmly in the position of the head of Wudang, and the rules of the rivers and lakes can't be broken. If your apprentice breaks into trouble, not only will there be chaos in the martial arts, but also chaos in the Xia Kingdom!"

Xiao Heyan dusted off the dust in his hand and respectfully saluted in the direction of the old man's departure. Whether it is the most powerful Righteous Qi Alliance or the Three Ancestors who are the source of martial arts, in front of the mountain chief, they must be half a point lower. The only master in the world whose true qi breaks through the seventeenth grade, between pitching, determines life and death.

The prologue "Into the rivers and lakes with the wind" ends.
