Volume 1: The Storm on the River Chapter 1: Huayin is in the earthquake, and the palace is out of order.

Hundreds of rivers are boiling, and the mounds are collapsing. The high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum. In the winter of the 34th year of Jiajing, disasters fell from the sky, and the earth moved to the northwest, and it began to subside in nearly three months. This is the largest earthquake in history, and after the earthquake, there will be famine and plague, and the entire land of Qin and Jin will be uninhabited for thousands of miles, and everywhere will be barren.

Xi'an, the most prosperous and prosperous ancient capital in history, has been prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no countless literati and ink writers riding high-headed horses to see the grand scene of Chang'an flowers in one day. As soon as the second watch day passed, a curfew was in place, and except for the husband, the long street became more and more deserted.

The only brightly lit place is the Qin Palace, which is located in the northeast of the city.

The palace of the king of Qin covers a vast area, the palace is lined up, ten steps and a post, a hundred steps and a sentry, the guard is strictly comparable to the palace inside, just because of the earthquake, the courtyard wall in the northwest has collapsed a lot, it looks quite unsightly.

This night, I only heard an exclamation from the Heart Palace, and a guard rushed out in a panic, "Oh no...... Something happened......" Suddenly countless lights flickered, and torches raised high gathered from all sides like a long dragon.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes enshrined in the palace of the King of Qin are also all magical, flying eaves and walking on the wall, only to hear the voice of the guard President Yang Cunyi coming from afar: "The three-light manifestation spirit bead is gone!"

I heard an angry voice again: "Find it for me, even if you look through the entire Xi'an Mansion, you can find it for me!"

Yang Cunyi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The prince is angry!"

The prince has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and under the anger, the originally fat head is even more hideous and terrifying, and his bloated body trembled slightly, pointing at the guards and saying, "Take these guards down for interrogation." ”

The West Garden of the Qin Palace, where countless concubines lived. In the past, those guards did not dare to set foot in this place without receiving an order, after all, there are many women here, and they are all forbidden by the prince, if you annoy the prince because of too much contact, it is not a joke.

It's just that tonight is destined to be an exception, King Qin has lost the orb, and all the concubines' rooms must be investigated. For a time, the entire Xiyuan warbler Yanyan was full of all kinds of delicate sounds. The only thing that remained quiet was a courtyard near the northwest, which was the dormitory of Concubine Rong, the most beloved concubine of the King of Qin. Those guards didn't dare to go in and search at all, but just casually asked the slaves and maids who were serving Concubine Rong, and when they saw that no one had come, they left one after another.

And in Concubine Rong's room, a slightly shy voice sounded: "You little enemy, why did you come here at this time?"

The next day, although the news of the lost treasures in the Qin Wangfu was not widely spread, the house was so big that it could never be hidden, and it was spread one after another. If it weren't for the princes of the Ming Dynasty, they could only commit murder in the palace, and I am afraid that the entire Xi'an Mansion would have to be a soldier.

In a very inconspicuous mansion in the south of the city, a man dressed as a young man in Tsing Yi said respectfully to a middle-aged man with a face full of meat like a pig killer: "Lord Qianhu, it has been found out, the Qin Wangfu lost the Sanguang Manifestation Spirit Bead last night, and it is said that two old women who took care of the treasures died. ”

The pig-killing man frowned, although his expression had not changed much, but his heart had already been turbulent.

The Sanguang Manifestation Bead is a strange treasure handed down from Yinghuang Japan, and was collected by King Qin a hundred years ago. Although no one knows its role, its reputation spreads far and wide. Ten years ago, Emperor Jiajing had been tempted to ask for it, if it weren't for the King of Qin who caught up with Tao Zhongwen through the Huashan faction, Tao Zhongwen said, "This spirit bead three lights are mortal spirits, Your Majesty absorbs the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the sky day and night, why bother with mortal dust, I am afraid that the gods do not know the sincerity of Your Majesty!" This dispelled the delusion of Emperor Jiajing, which shows the dignity of this treasure.

The Qin Palace's palace hid it in the Cunxin Palace, and was guarded by guards with strong martial arts day and night, which was very clear to the pig killer. Of course, if it weren't for the few worshippers in the Qin Palace, the pig killer himself would have wanted to get it to play with it. Now that it has been lost, it is just what he wants, and this King of Qin is afraid that he will have to pay a lot of money to beg him to find treasure. When the time comes, there will be another sum of gold and silver, and you can secretly take the jewel as your own, and the pig killer can't help frowning when he thinks of this, and he smiles.

......

"The womb is knotted from the volcanic air, and the qi is breathed from the womb. Stick to nothingness, in order to nourish the spirit, the heart does not move, and there is no coming and going. You can't go out and live naturally. ”

Bai Yujing woke up from his sleep, shook off the ice and snow all over his body, felt the heat flow in his body, and exhaled a long breath. He looked around, the sky and the earth were silent, and the whole mountain forest was white.

Since then, no matter when and where, as long as you enter the dream realm, you can increase your true qi, and the cycle will go on and on, and all rivers will meet the sea. Thinking of this, a trace of grief and indignation flashed in Bai Yujing's eyes.

Even though the Taibai swordsman injured his master, it was also agreed upon many years ago, and it was a dignified competition.

But those people from the Huashan faction, who are also Taoists, even ignored his master's serious injuries and attacked in the middle of the night, which is really insidious and cunning, and they are Taoist masters in vain. If it weren't for the fact that the heavens and the earth were overturned and the mountains and rivers collapsed, Bai Yujing was afraid that he would not have his life to escape from Wuzhi Mountain.

It's just that the poor master collapsed with the Five Fingers Mountain and turned into loess on the hills.

Bai Yujing secretly calmed down, along the way, he could be regarded as having seen what a natural disaster was. There is no inn for hundreds of miles, and some markets are broken and ruined, and there is no human population to be found. It is common to see all kinds of corpses on the side of the road, all with eerily swollen bellies and smiles on the corners of their mouths.

The most thrilling thing was when a few reckless men were looking around for food, and they actually found children to roast on the torches. If it weren't for Bai Yujing's fast running, I'm afraid I would also be arrested. Therefore, in addition to sleeping and practicing on time, Bai Yujing spent most of his time in the barren mountains and mountains, looking for some fruits to fill his stomach.

Bai Yujing had been walking and stopping in the mountains for nearly a month, and the Taoist robe on his body had long been tattered. If it weren't for the success of the fetal breath and the true qi in the body, he would have died of hunger and cold in the ice and snow with little food and clothing. It wasn't until he got close to Xi'an Mansion that there were more people on the mountain road, all of whom were refugees from other places like him. The clothes were in tatters, and his expression was either wooden or dazed. When some merchants pass by, they may be in a good mood to give alms and grab food. Sometimes, for half a piece of bread, it can kill people.

"Da Da Da ......"

A team of men and horses drove quickly, with dozens of horses in front and behind, all wearing round-necked armor and straddle the Yanling knife at their waists.

Those who couldn't dodge on the road were whipped away by the brocade guards on horseback, and most of them were homeless people who had been hungry for several days, how could they withstand the whipping of these people, and often died when the whip went down.

Bai Yujing looked furious, those merchants were right, the current emperor only knew that Xun Xian asked, and that Yan Ge Lao was useless except for fighting political opponents and bending the law for bribes. The catastrophe in Qin and Jin did not appoint an official to provide disaster relief, but these lackeys Jinyi Wei ran rampant.

"...... ......"

A teenager looked at the baked cakes in the middle of the road, and looked around, and he couldn't help but pounce on the homeless people because the rampaging brocade guards were fleeing one after another. When some of the other homeless people saw this, they instantly became energetic and rushed up one after another.

Bai Yujing sighed, he was still hungry, and he really couldn't help. It's just that the faint sound of horses' hooves behind him made Bai Yujing's face change slightly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

But those people were all huddled together, and they didn't expect that the Jinyi guards who had just passed would suddenly turn back, and where would they have the strength to scatter.

Seeing this, Bai Yujing couldn't help but shout: "Jinyi Wei is here, disperse quickly......" and ran towards the place where the sound of horses' hooves came.

The familiar round-necked armor and the brown horse of all colors made Bai Yujing's eyes deep. "Stop!" his cry was immediately drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, how could the brocade guards take care of such a filthy little beggar as him.

A whip shadow flashed, and Bai Yujing rolled on the spot, narrowly avoiding it.

"Smack-" With a bang, the man's long horsewhip did not hit Bai Yujing, and directly rolled up a homeless person, threw it out heavily, and hit a big tree on the side of the road.

Bai Yujing couldn't bear to look at it at all, so he believed what the master said.

"When you go down the mountain, you are the rivers and lakes, and the most worthless thing on the rivers and lakes is human life. The pursuit of immortality by our generation of Taoist priests is to cherish their own lives, and naturally they must also cherish the lives of others, so we only practice on the mountain, and do not go down the mountain until we have to. ”

If it weren't for the coercion of the Huashan faction, why would he go down the mountain.

"What a bunch of bullying minions!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from afar, as pleasant as a wind chime.

The next moment, a red shadow appeared in Bai Yujing's eyes. It was a big red horse with bright coat and a passion for fire. And on horseback, the bright red dress filled Bai Yujing's eyes like a ball of fire.

The fiery red dress is more showy than the hair of the jujube red horse, and this is a red-hot girl. She may look two or three years older than Bai Yujing, but her swordsmanship is unusually brilliant.

The sword walked lightly, like a weaver girl shuttling, and instantly stabbed on the right shoulder of the leader Jinyi Guard.

The brocade guard fell off the horse's back in pain, and ......the other four brocade guards grabbed the reins one after another and glared at the red-clothed girl.

"Who are you, you dare to stop Jinyiwei from doing things!" "The leader of Jinyiwei covered his wound with one hand, and although his eyes were full of jealousy, he still shouted sternly. In his mind, although this girl in red has good martial arts, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, which Jianghu forces dare to provoke Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei will dare to destroy him.

Unexpectedly, the girl in red seemed to hear something funny, and giggled, it was really like a peach blossom blooming, and it was beautiful.
