The Great Xia Dynasty was founded for thousands of years and has a vast territory, making it the largest and most powerful dynasty on this continent.

The natural population of the site is also large.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the more people there are, the more lively the rivers and lakes are.

There are many wonderful legends on the rivers and lakes of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whether it is the wonderful fairy of the Flying Immortal, or the old Taoist priest who cultivates the wilderness and solitude in the deep mountains and old forests, or the peerless martial artist whose strength can defeat tens of thousands of people, it can be found in the rivers and lakes of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this Jianghu, even the shopkeeper of an ordinary restaurant knows who the number one in the world is and how powerful he is.

These low-level characters who seem to have nothing to do with the rivers and lakes are like a stone soaked in the rivers and lakes for decades, contaminated with a strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes.

The atmosphere of the rivers and lakes of Daxia is strong, and its vigor can be seen.

And on the rivers and lakes, even the young children who have just entered the rivers and lakes know that there is such a sentence circulating in the rivers and lakes:

"The world is very difficult, don't ask about the black knife, if you encounter a black knife, write it off. ”

There were rumors in the rivers and lakes that every twenty years, a man with a black knife would appear on the rivers and lakes of Great Xia, no one knew what he looked like, even those who had seen him were silent, and they didn't say a word about the person's appearance, origin, personality and habits.

It is rumored that the owner of this black knife roams the rivers and lakes alone, if you are lucky enough to meet this master, he will grant you a wish, even if it seems impossible to fulfill the wish, in front of the master of the black knife is also commonplace.

This master of the black knife has great powers, whether it is the flesh and bones of the living dead, or even some people and ghosts taking a nap before the door closes, he can snatch you back from the hands of Hades.

Not to mention the promotion of officials and lords, wealth and glory.

As long as it was the people he promised, without exception, they all fulfilled their wishes.

Therefore, the people of Jianghu are waiting for this supreme opportunity once in 20 years.

This year is exactly the twentieth year since the last black knife appeared on the rivers and lakes.

As early as the beginning of the year, a group of characters wearing black knives appeared on the rivers and lakes, vainly trying to use the reputation of the black knife to wash away the heroes of the world and seek welfare for themselves by the way, and swaggered and deceived in the name of the owner of the black knife.

But even so, it did not make the Jianghu people's enthusiasm for the black knife have been reduced in the slightest, because the legend of the black knife made them crazy.

In the last twenty years, a young man who worked as a shopkeeper in an ordinary restaurant happened to meet a man who was carrying a black knife to the rivers and lakes.

I don't know if it's a joke or a drunken nonsense, and the status of the other party is very different, and even the people in the rivers and lakes are not even counted as the people in the rivers and lakes, the shopkeeper actually said that he wants to be the number one martial artist in the world, which caused many people in the rivers and lakes who were eating at the restaurant at that time to laugh, only the person with the black knife did not laugh at him.

The man wearing a black knife took out a black leather wine gourd from his waist, handed it to the shopkeeper who didn't know the height of the sky, and asked:

"If you can drink the wine in this gourd, I will make you the number one in the world within five years. ”

The man's big words naturally made the surrounding heroes laugh.

How can there be such two outspoken people in this world?

The martial arts people around him began to suspect that these two guys either had bad heads or were laymen who didn't know anything at all.

A shopkeeper dares to say that he is the first in the world?

A down-and-out ranger with a broken knife dares to promise others? Or does he promise to make the other party the number one in the world within five years? This is simply a pipe dream, he thinks that this is the election of the village chief in their village? Five years? Five years, let a junior who has no kung fu foundation grow into the best in the world? This is too much to take seriously this group of people who have been practicing hard since they were children and fighting on the rivers and lakes.

But what makes people laugh off their big teeth is that the unsightly shopkeeper took the black leather wine gourd tremblingly in the ridicule and questioning coaxing of the surrounding knights, and took a sip of it, I don't know if it was because he was too excited, or the wine in the wine gourd was too unpalatable, and the shopkeeper was choked and coughed after taking a sip.

The man wearing a hat to cover his face and carrying a black knife took the gourd from Xiao'er's hand and said in a steady voice.

"After drinking the wine in the gourd, I will naturally do things according to the agreement, but after five years after you sit in the first position in the world, don't forget that you have drunk the wine in this gourd, if someone comes to you with this gourd, don't forget to return a love, remember, only recognize the gourd and not the person. ”

The man's fingers were slightly bent, and he gently struck ten times in a row on the forehead of the dazed shopkeeper, no more, no less.

After that, it quietly disappeared from the place, full of heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the level of martial arts cultivation was uneven, but no one could see clearly how this man with a hat and a black knife left.

All they could see was the shopkeeper sitting on the sidelines, dazed and at a loss, and the two pieces of broken silver placed in the lower right corner of the table.

At this time, some of the group of heroes who realized it later realized that the person was holding a black knife in his hand.

While everyone was annoyed that they had missed a great opportunity, they couldn't help but wonder why no one had noticed the black knife in his hand just now.

As for the shopkeeper, he was even more puzzled, he didn't know what he had experienced, and he didn't know that the person he met turned out to be the owner of the black knife who was known as the biggest opportunity in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't even know that he had a great creation.

However, this is the case, there is a intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows.

Just like that group of knights, they couldn't recognize the owner of the black knife who was struggling to find it in front of them, but the unintentional words of the shopkeeper gave him a great creation.

This shows that this blessing is his.

Five years later, the shopkeeper had already made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and after defeating eighteen Jianghu masters in a row, he defeated the world's first in the world at that time - Sancai Sword Huang Zhang at the top of Mount Tai.

The following year, in the ranking of martial artists in the world listed by the Jianghu Shenji Pavilion, the name of this little-known shopkeeper appeared for the first time - Gao Zhenhui.

Of course, today's Jianghu people prefer to add two words in front of this name - Emperor Wu.

It was also after defeating Huang Zhang that Emperor Wu Gao Zhenhui opened a sect at the top of Mount Tai to establish Emperor Wu City, announcing that this piece of rivers and lakes had a new owner.

It was the experience that Emperor Gao Zhenhui personally admitted that made people's expectations for the owner of the black knife deeper.

Who doesn't want to be the next Martial Emperor? Who doesn't want to be the next master of this world?

Also at the beginning of this year, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the county seat of Ping'an County, Youzhou, there was a man with a weak crown with Danfeng eyes lying on silkworm eyebrows, obvious lines on his face, and a handsome and handsome man, under the request of the master who raised him from childhood to adulthood, with a black knife wrapped in white cloth and a black leather wine gourd tied around his waist, he left Ping'an County with one person and one horse.

The gift of the weak crown given to him by his master was to let him walk through the rivers and lakes that his master had walked through, and to see the so-called red dust in the rivers and lakes.
