Liu Chengyin made an appointment to fight Qin Xiong in the imperial city, and the news spread throughout the New Tang Dynasty, and the major martial arts heroes gathered in Luoyang City that day.

Emperor Zhen of Tang mobilized 50,000 soldiers and armor to drain the water in the siege of Luoyang, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

If you don't have a certificate of origin in Luoyang City, you are not allowed to enter the city.

Even so, it still did not stop the pace of those martial arts knights, on the day of the decisive battle, within the outer wall of the imperial city, the black pressure was full of people, and the human wall composed of 10,000 Praetorian Guards was forced to retreat again and again.

Liu Chengyin alone led the entire martial arts to confront the imperial court head-on.

This is the biggest conflict between martial arts people and the imperial court since the founding of the New Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty lay on the dragon chair and lamented again and again, and sent his second son Li Shicheng, that is, the King of Qin, who led the Tang army to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, to lead troops to the outer city to control the situation.

No matter how you block it, this most high-profile duel in decades will not be stopped.

On the day of the decisive battle, not only martial arts people gathered, but even immortals came from the Great Snow Mountain in the northwest and Youlong Mountain, and they stopped in the clouds of the imperial city with Huaguang, just to see who dared to challenge Qin Invincible.

Qin Xiong, known as Qin Invincible, a martial arts legend in the realm of Tiangang, has been recognized by everyone in the martial arts for a hundred years, and he has beaten the world with one person and two punches.

Back then, Emperor Ji Long was instructed by the immortals and practiced the true dragon body, but he was not his opponent, and the three reverse scales of the real dragon body were pulled out by Qin Invincible.

It is claimed that he can rival the existence of immortals empty-handed, but today, a martial arts rookie who has been famous in the rivers and lakes for less than half a year actually said that he wanted to challenge Qin Invincible, and there were different opinions.

Some people say that Liu Chengyin is arrogant and self-defeating, and some people say that Liu Chengyin is 100% sure that he will come to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong has been the first in the world for ten years, and it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian.

At noon that day, Qin Xiong was dressed in eight python robes and stood on the outer wall of the imperial city.

Liu Chengyin chanted a poem: "The moon in the sky looks like a ball of silver in the distance." As the night wore on, the wind tightened. Blow away the moonside clouds with slaves. Shine on the negative person. ”

The outer walls of the palace are empty and empty.

Liu Chengyin stepped over the human wall composed of soldiers and armor, and took a skeleton step by step.

Only ten steps, the sea of corpses was already churning under his feet, and he rode the sea of corpses up and stood on top of the city.

Between Qin Xiong and Liu Chengyin, there was only a pennant of the New Tang Dynasty, and the pennant was fluttering and hunting.

Liu Chengyin stared at Qin Xiong for a while before asking: "Qin Xiong, you are now in a high position, above 10,000 people under one person, but you are too forgetful, and you have forgotten a girl who was willing to commit herself to others for you!"

The wind ruffled Qin Xiong's long hair, and the hair was messy and scattered, and he couldn't see the face of this Tiance general clearly.

Halfway through, he said, "I never forgot it, but I didn't have the face to see her again." ”

Liu Chengyin sneered: "The invincible Tiance general in the world, are you still afraid of seeing a condescending woman?

She wrote that poem in a sleepless night, let me read it to you.

Now, she doesn't want to see you, she just wants me to help her take your life. ”

The sea of corpses roared, and Liu Chengyin made a move.

The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood swallowed the two of them in it, and no one could see what was really happening.

When the sea of corpses faded, the invincible Qin Wudi in the world had already fallen, he was lying on Chengtou Mountain, his eyes were silent, and the eight python robes on his body were torn into strips of cloth, embarrassed.

But on Qin Xiong's body, none of the wounds were bloody, he was just embarrassed and not injured.

Qin Xiong was lying on the city wall and asked quietly, "Is she okay?"

Liu Chengyin's expression was complicated, and he suddenly drove the sea of corpses to the outside of the city, leaving only one sentence for him at the head of the city: "Qin Wudi, you are really Qin Wudi, I am defeated, but I can't answer your question, you should ask him yourself." ”

A much-anticipated duel with a tiger-like ending.

Liu Chengyin tried his best to kill Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong was willing to be killed on the spot, and he never made a move.

On that day, there was a great change in Luoyang City.

Qin Xiong lay on the head of the city for a long time, and waited until Li Shicheng, the king of Qin, went to the head of the city and asked, "Uncle Qin, how are you injured?"

Qin Xiong suddenly came back to his senses, he jumped down from the city and walked towards the palace.

The general of Tiance of the Tang Dynasty resigned and returned to his hometown on the same day, and the general's mansion in Luoyang City, Wanguan's family wealth, and the tiger talisman in charge of the 200,000 Tiance army, he gave them all up, and just begged for a thousand miles from the palace.

Riding a fast horse, Qin Xiong went straight to the east gate and headed towards his hometown.

That night, the coughing sound of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was constantly heard in the inner courtyard of the palace, and Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the New Tang Dynasty, was seriously ill and ordered to establish a prince overnight.

The crown prince, which had been empty for three years in the New Tang Dynasty, finally had a candidate, and Li Shicheng, the king of Qin, was made a prince.

At the same time, there is also a notice: King Li Jiancheng died of illness that night, and a funeral ceremony was held on the same day.

Anyone who cares knows that the secret that the New Tang Dynasty royal family has buried for more than a year has finally been covered up, and the court of the New Tang Dynasty is about to change.

Since then, many officials in Luoyang City have been terrified.

A generation of kings and courtiers, many people's official positions will not be able to be kept.

......

The wind blowing from the East China Sea wanders inland in the East China Sea in early May, and it is not until early June that the wind blows to the border.

The sea breeze brought a drizzle, the first rain of June.

The drizzle shrouded the silt village in a haze, and a veil seemed to rise between heaven and earth.

In the small courtyard of the fence, Yu Bai sat on the threshold, staring at the silver sword in her hand in a daze, the silver sword in her hand had long been broken, and the beautiful silver sword only had half a blade and hilt left.

Yu Bai is also wearing strange clothes, the clothes are a little loose, it is a scholarly robe, wearing it on Yu Bai makes her more bookish, with a beautiful face, it has a unique charm.

Her black outfit was originally washed and dried in the courtyard, but it rained last night, and she had to be put into the house to dry.

Zhong Ming tied a hemp rope in the middle of the house, helped her dry her clothes, and also walked to the threshold and sat down.

Glancing at the broken sword in Yu Bai's hand, Zhong Ming couldn't help but think of Yu Bai's appearance when he returned last night.

Last night, Yu Bai came back very late and didn't eat dinner, breaking her habit of going out early in the morning and returning at sunset, Zhong Ming thought she was saying goodbye.

There was a strong wind last night, Yu Bai's clothes were a little torn, and a long cut was made on his shoulder, and the wound on the bone was deeply visible.

She held the broken sword in her hand, and her steps staggered, if it weren't for a flying copper-colored giant sword pulling her, I am afraid she would not even be able to walk back.

Fortunately, Zhong Ming saw that she had not returned for a long time, and waited for her for a while longer before he could see the weak Yu Bai, helped her bandage her wounds, and helped her to the bed to rest.

"Don't sit at the door, you still have injuries on your body, it's raining and windy, don't get caught in the cold, let's go into the house and rest." ”

His gaze shifted from the broken sword to Yu Bai's shoulder, Zhong Ming frowned slightly, and the fragrant scene of last night kept coming to his mind, bandaging Yu Bai's wound, or a position like his shoulder, it was inevitable that he could see something that he shouldn't see.

Zhong Ming is not a chick, but he is still a little embarrassed.

Yu Bai threw the broken sword at his feet, curled up with his legs in his arms, and said in a low voice: "It's not in the way, my injury is getting better quickly, and the injury is okay." ”

But Yu Bai's eyes were empty, and her face had long since lost the cold look of being aloof, and she was preoccupied.

With a sigh, Zhong Ming knew that this was Yu Bai's heart disease.

Trauma is easy to heal, and it will always be good after a period of recuperation, but how to treat this heart disease has always been a problem for the ages, and it is difficult to treat heart disease until later generations.

Zhong Ming looked up at the rain curtain again, and asked softly, "Last night, you went to kill someone, the first time you killed someone?"

"Well, I killed three, and the giant killed more than a hundred. ”

Yu Bai's voice was very low and low, like a kitten purring, Zhong Ming couldn't hear it clearly if he didn't listen carefully.

The giant sword in her mouth probably refers to the flying copper-colored giant sword, Zhong Ming has not seen the giant sword since he bandaged Yu Bai, it seems to have disappeared.

But Zhong Ming could feel that this giant sword was still wandering around, and if anyone wanted to plot against Yu Bai, it would appear in the person's chest, and stabbed the person through the heart with a sword.

As for where Yu Bai went to kill people, Zhong Ming also knew.

This morning, the news came that Heshang Village had been slaughtered, and only a few children escaped from the village last night and ran to the nearby Hexia Village for help.

Heshang Village is notorious on weekdays, and the group of villains who have eaten people are innocent of death, and no one will avenge them, let alone in this panicked border, and no one cares.

Last night, the person Yu Bai killed should be someone from Heshang Village.

"The first time I killed someone, it was like this, when I was killing someone, my hands would shake when I thought about it, and I had nightmares for a month in a row, and slowly, you got used to it. ”

Staring at the rain curtain, Zhong Ming lightly said that he killed people with a folding knife, and took out the mahogany folding knife to show Yu Bai.

Playing with the mahogany folding knife, Yu Bai sniffed and said softly: "I'm not afraid of killing, my mother said that if you want to become a great sword immortal, I want to kill a lot of people, and I must have a determination to preach with murderous intentions, just ......"

After a pause, Yu Bai continued: "I didn't expect that a woman holding a child would be able to use the child to block the sword for a man, and I didn't expect that she would be able to throw the child out and use a sickle to cut me for the sake of the man." ”

Zhong Ming didn't know how to answer this question.

The group of people in Heshang Village are much more ruthless than the villagers of Silt Village, they survived the war by eating human flesh, and many times, they were eaten by children.

Yi Zi eats food, and it is this group of people who are talking about.

Perhaps in their eyes, a man who can kill people with a knife is much more important than a child who needs to be fed.

After thinking for a while, neither of them made a sound.

The rain outside the house was even heavier, pouring down, and the downpour was soaking Zhong Ming's shoes.

Zhong Mingcai said: "I feel that you shouldn't be the silver sword for decoration, you see, that silver sword is so easy to break, if you really want to be a sword immortal, it should be like the bronze sword that protects you...... A murderous sword, important and tough, and sharp. ”

Handing the mahogany folding knife back to Zhong Ming, Yu Bai sighed: "Maybe." ”

Glancing at the broken sword, Yu Bai picked it up and threw it into the rain curtain fiercely, probably pulling the wound and making her frown in pain.

Stimulated by last night, coupled with the helplessness of the moment, and being taken care of by Zhong Ming, Yu Bai finally opened her long-closed heart, and she said: "I can only be a sword immortal who has killed countless people in my life, my mother is a great sword immortal, my father is the master of the Sword Immortal Palace, my grandfather is the Sword Emperor of the Ages, and my grandmother is the strongest female sword immortal in our world......

My father only has a daughter like me, and I should also be a great sword immortal. ”

Sure enough, Yu Bai's origin is not simple, listen to her, the palace master of Sword Cliff should be his father.

Zhong Ming was really a little envious, he said: "This is very good, your family is so powerful, your talent is excellent, and in the future, you will definitely be a world-famous Great Sword Immortal." ”

With a wry smile, Yu Bai shook his head: "I can't do it, my talent is not good, it is difficult to become a great sword immortal."

In our place, to be a sword immortal is not to work hard, but also to pay attention to talent, to be a sword immortal is to have a sword bone, everyone in the palace has a sword bone, Xiaoling has, Ah San has, even the gatekeeper Hua Bo has it, only I was born with a crippled body, no sword bones.

My mother said that if I want to be a sword immortal, I can only kill people, and when I have blood stained my hands one day and be reborn in blood, I will be able to have a blood sword bone in order to be qualified to be a sword immortal. ”

For a while, Zhong Ming was dumbfounded, and he remembered that the old blind man under the overpass in his previous life had told him that he was also a bloody man who slaughtered Yama.

The feeling of sympathy and hard work.

Patting Yu Bai's arm, Zhong Ming said: "Don't be so pessimistic, everyone has their own fate, maybe you can't be a sword immortal, there's no need to be a sword immortal, if you don't like to kill, just don't kill." ”

"Can you?"

Shaking her head again and smiling bitterly, Yu Bai stood up, she was happy to sit for a long time and her body was sore, twisted her waist, and entered the room to lie down.

Lying facing the wall, Yu Bai began to be in a daze again.

Zhong Ming realized that he probably said the wrong thing, and if he didn't stand in Yu Bai's position, he would never be able to understand Yu Bai's helplessness.

Not to mention rebelling against fate, even if it is to escape fate, it is a very difficult thing.

Zhong Ming sighed, and when he turned around, the copper-colored giant sword stood in the position where Fang Cai Yu Bai was sitting, and the blade fluttered, carving two words on the ground: Thank you.

The giant sword has a spirit, Zhong Ming knows that this is the giant sword to help Yu Bai thank him, thank him for his treatment, and thank him for enlightenment.

"Brother Jian, I'm ashamed that I can't help your master get out of trouble. ”

Arching his hand, Zhong Ming and a sword politely, the scene seems strange, but Zhong Ming feels very harmonious.

This sword gives Zhong Ming a good feeling, it is like Liang Heizi's straightforwardness, and it is like Zhang Nianchen's innocence and kindness, Zhong Ming can feel that it has no malice towards himself, better than some people who know people and don't know their hearts.

The giant sword shook twice, trying to depict something, but it suddenly went backwards, causing a circle of ripples out of thin air, and disappeared.

Zhong Ming was curious, but he heard the sound of horses outside the courtyard, and a carriage came slowly from a distance.

A thin horse dragged a dilapidated old carriage, and a young man with a warm smile jumped out of the carriage.

The person who came was Meng Teng, a young doctor from Jishitang, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella and shouted outside the hospital, "Mr. Zhong is at home?"

Zhong Ming hurriedly stood up and responded, "I'm here, Doctor Meng, why are you here." ”

Meng Teng walked into the courtyard, drew a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Ming, saying, "Mr. Zhong, there is a message here, I am asked to hand it over to you." ”

"Oh, what's the news?"

Zhong Ming was very puzzled in his heart, he had never taken the initiative to deliver the news, and the news that could be sent by Meng Zatang must be extremely important to Zhong Ming.

"Yesterday, in the Imperial City of Luoyang, Liu Chengyin's predecessors and Qin Xiong's predecessors fought, I sent a small news, sat in the hall and said that the person in the letter, the things in the letter are extremely important to Mr., I should inform Mr., and ask Mr. to take a closer look. ”

Hearing the news that it was Liu Chengyin, Zhong Ming was slightly stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you for sitting in the hall and the doctor." ”

Waving his hand, Meng Teng said, "Mr. is polite." ”

With an oil-paper umbrella, Meng Teng walked back into the carriage, and the old carriage slowly left, disappearing into the rain.
