Chapter 14: Assassination
In the northwest of Feng'an City, a mountain stream flows down from the mountain, forming a small river on the outskirts of Feng'an City, and finally merging into Yufeng Lake.
The river was deserted on both sides, and it was a huge graveyard.
There are countless large and small graves scattered around, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
Twenty years ago, after a great war, and I don't know how many people died on both sides, this place was created, and the locals called it the Tomb of the Unknown.
Every Qingming season, there will be spring flowers all over the mountains and fields here, and the golden ground is beautiful.
There are not too many taboos in the young man's heart, Lu Mingfei and Qu Xiaotian have liked to play here since they were children, and it has become a place in his childhood.
A ray of dawn shone on the spring flowers all over the ground, and the surroundings suddenly gave birth to brilliant colors.
Quite a few bees are busy among the flowers.
On an old elm tree not far away, the cloth-clothed young man turned over from the trunk and sat up, stretched his waist, and took out an astrolabe from his arms.
The astrolabe was the one that Cangwei Lao Dao gave to Yin Zhelu, and now it is in Lu Mingfei's hands.
Looking at the astrolabe, the five stars on it still flickered.
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, originally thought that it was just that Lao Dao had done some tricks to fool Yin Zhelu, and it would be extinguished after a while, but he didn't expect that there was really some mystery, and after a whole night, it was still the same.
Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly, and thought to himself in his heart: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, since Yin Zhilu regards himself as a friend, then he can't leave it alone." ”
After pondering for a while, I saw a few people coming from afar.
The first man changed into a snow-white robe, and it was Yin Zhelu.
He was followed by four of his attendants, leading the horses, and on the horse's back were a large basket of incense, candles, paper, money, and flowers.
Before reaching a large grave, incense candles were placed nearby.
While lighting incense and candles, Yin Zhelu seemed to glance at the old locust tree where Lu Mingfei was, intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't know whether he saw it or not, and then withdrew his gaze.
Bursts of green smoke rose up, Yin Zhelu knelt on his knees in the graveyard, burned a piece of yellow paper in his hand and said to the sky: "Yin Zhelu has come to visit your uncles for my father." You are all heroes of my silver wolf iron horse, and the great feats of fighting with blood and blood have been never forgotten and remembered in Monkey Castle. I don't hope that your uncles will have a spirit in the sky, and you can bless me with a smooth wind and rain in Qitianbao, and the peace and security of the country and the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”
The faces of the five people all had serious expressions, and there were tears flashing in Yin Zhelu's eyes.
After the incense, candles, paper and money he brought were burned, Yin Zhelu walked past each grave in turn, bowing one by one.
The four attendants followed behind Yin Zhelu at all times, carefully observing the surroundings.
Before coming to the small river, Yin Zhelu stared at the river, slightly distracted.
It is clearly a clear mountain stream, but it has become turbid and even a little dark red.
After a long time, Yin Zhelu sighed lightly and said: "The scale of the fierce battle back then was so tragic that it has never been seen in Zhongzhou for hundreds of years, and it has become the national disaster of the two countries. So much so that future generations do not want to think about it, nor do they want to mention it. It is said that after the fierce battle, the river in front of me was dyed red, and the people in the market talked about the tiger color change every time, and no one even dared to name this place, I have heard that some people privately called this river Huangquan Ferry. ”
"I thought that folklore was exaggerated, but when I came here today, I realized that after 20 years, the river is still so muddy. ”
Several people watched the river silently, and there was one more person and a horse on the other side.
The woman in black wore a hood and led the old horse slowly through the cemetery, carrying a flower basket in her hand and an iron sword at her waist.
Chen Jiuwang, the entourage called Uncle Chen by Yin Zhelu, looked at the woman cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Young master, there seems to be something wrong with that woman. ”
Yin Zhelu looked up and saw the woman standing silently in front of a grave, the flower basket in her hand had been half lit, and her thin back was extremely lonely.
After observing for a while, Yin Zhelu said indifferently: "I didn't expect this woman to have cultivation, it should be the realm of enlightenment, you don't have to be too nervous." ”
Among the six realms, there is a huge gap between each realm, and it is difficult to pose a threat to those who are higher than one's own realm.
Yin Zhelu had already reached the third grade of agility, and the four entourages were all cultivators in the Qi refining period, so naturally they would not take that woman too seriously.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, a cooing sound suddenly came from the river beneath his feet.
In the turbid water, bubbles are constantly emerging.
Although the movement is not big, it can't hide the eyes of Yin Zhelu.
In just a moment, there was a surge in the river, and four black shadows suddenly emerged from the water, and the sharp sword light staggered and pointed directly at Yin Zhelu.
The nameless mound is surrounded by an open area, and it is not easy to hide and hide, but I didn't expect that there was a killer hidden in the water, which is really difficult to watch out for.
Lu Mingfei, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree, was about to take a nap, and his eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw the protrusion of the mutation, and looked nervously towards this side, he had the heart to help, but how could he have that ability.
Fortunately, Yin Zhelu noticed the abnormality in the water first, and suddenly retreated.
The four sword lights were as fast as lightning, and in addition to the killing moves, the other three swords respectively blocked the retreat of Yin Zhelu's parties, and they obviously had an extraordinary tacit understanding with each other.
Yin Zhelu was fearless, calmly and calmly took a few steps back, and finally found a gap, flashing the opponent's killing sword.
Only then did I see the situation of the opponent clearly, the four of them were all dressed in black and masked, and they couldn't see their appearances, and they were all cultivators in the early stage of enlightenment.
The cultivation is not high, and what he is better at is secretly assassinating, which can be seen from the sudden offensive before.
The killer pays attention to killing with one hit, and the four of them have fallen into an absolute disadvantage if they fail to strike such a blow.
Yin Zhelu didn't even bother to make a move with these people, and before he could greet him, the four entourages around him had already reacted and rushed towards the four of them.
The cultivation is all among the best, but the real sword and real gun, the assassin is far from the opponent of the four guards, and in the blink of an eye, he has been forced to retreat.
Yin Zhelu had some doubts in his heart, and he also had a little disdain, he didn't know who the other party was, but just because these four killers of enlightenment and cultivation wanted to take their lives, they couldn't help but underestimate themselves too much.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a strong surge of murderous intent coming.
I saw that the woman in black on the other side of the river had risen in the air, fluttering like a paper kite, seemingly slowly, but in a blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of Yin Zhelu.
Although he couldn't see the other party's face, he could clearly see the murderous intent revealed by the other party, and his power far exceeded that of the four killers before.
Yin Zhelu also didn't understand why this woman had such a powerful aura as she was also a consecrated cultivator.
Before he had time to think, the opponent's palm had arrived, and Yin Zhelu calmly took a step back to the side, and swung out with one palm to catch the opponent's attack.
Suddenly, a strong attack came, and the opponent's weighty palm made Yin Zhilu unable to parry, and directly staggered him back, and suddenly fell into a real crisis.
