Chapter 2: Qingyang Town

Qingyang Town is a small town in the northern part of the Shenwu Continent.

The town is not prosperous, it is about square in shape, and only a few hundred families live. Occasionally, villagers from nearby villages gather here, and the town has become the center of the city within a radius of 100 miles.

The town is adjacent to the north, the agricultural science is not prosperous, the town is mostly handicraftsmen, there are iron people for a living, there are people who sell wine and slaughter meat, there are also people who weave mats and sell shoes, and the whole town is a big bazaar.

The business travelers and people from the rivers and lakes who have to pass through Qingyang Town from the south to the north have injected fresh blood into this place.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

A group of street children roam the streets of Qingyang Town, begging for food and occasionally stealing chickens and dogs. There are many vendors in this town, and it is not difficult to eat a bite of food, as long as you don't provoke extremely powerful characters or people with unique skills, nothing will go wrong.

However, a street child is a street child after all.

It's a bunch of kids who don't have a home.

Lin Chuyun is one of these homeless children.

He had been living with his grandparents after his parents died young, and a year ago, he fled all the way to the village after a famine and his relatives died.

However, he is also different from this group of homeless children, he never steals, does not rob, does not cheat, just begs for food.

Of course, they are also the most vulnerable to bullying.

It's not just the vendors and passers-by who look down on him, it's this group of street children who bully him the most.

Because he's not like them.

Being too kind is sometimes an outlier. Different, will always be excluded.

He was small and thin, and he was beaten by several people, so he was naturally invincible.

It's just that, even so, he won't change himself. Don't steal, don't rob, don't cheat, that's his principle.

Suddenly, one day, from the avenue on the north side of the town, a group of people came up.

The white clothes are fluttering, and the back and forth is like the wind.

According to well-informed children, they are from Xuanqingmen.

Over the years, Xuanqingmen has behaved upright in the rivers and lakes, and there are many masters, and it is when the power is great, as if there is an atmosphere of the leader of the rivers and lakes. When the people in the rivers and lakes saw the disciples of the Xuanqing Sect, they all repaid the greatest respect.

It was just dark, and Lin Chuyun was at the door of a tavern, chatting with a little friend named Mouse.

"You see, the one who is the leader is Li Xiao, the eldest disciple of Xuanqing Sect, how handsome!" The wanderer named Mouse said to Lin Chuyun: "It is said that Li Xiao practiced the Xuanqing Taiji Sword at the age of eighteen, and there is no one among the younger generations in the rivers and lakes, and now he is the senior brother of Xuanqing Sect, the chief disciple of Xuanqing Sect, and his future is limitless!"

Lin Chuyun nodded as if he didn't understand. This mouse is also one of this group of street children, called him a mouse not because he loves to steal, but because he looks extremely thin, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and two front teeth, dressed and gray-faced, the appearance is particularly like a mouse, and is extremely well-informed, the anecdotes on the rivers and lakes know everything, everyone calls him "mouse", over time, his real name has forgotten what it is. Although the mouse is clever, his heart and eyes are not bad, and Lin Chuyun often plays with him.

"The swordsmanship of Xuanqingmen is elegant and chic, and it looks like a decent atmosphere, if only I could join Xuanqingmen. The mouse said again.

"Then you say, what is the relationship between Taibai Gate and Xuanqing Gate, isn't Taibai Gate also known for its elegant and chic swordsmanship?" Lin Chuyun asked.

"Haha, you don't know this," the mouse laughed: "On the rivers and lakes, the three factions of Xuanqingmen, Taibaimen, and Qingshuimen are originally one faction, called Sanqingmen, which is a sect of Taoist swordsmanship, and the ancestor of worship is the Emperor Zhenwu." These Sanqingmen sects are profound, and have been passed down for thousands of years, about a few hundred years ago, three hundred years or five hundred years ago, because of different concepts, the three respected elders are in charge of the three sects of Sanqingmen, and they are divided into three factions. This Xuanqingmen disciple Li Xiao is powerful enough, compared to Gu Bai back then, it is far worse, Gu Bai is already the number one swordsman in the world at his age, and he is terrifyingly strong. ”

"I've heard of Sword Immortal Gu Bai, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful, so what about the fact that I haven't seen Sword Immortal in the rivers and lakes all these years?"

"Who knows, the master naturally has the idea of a master, it may be dead, or it may be hidden. The mouse said leisurely.

"Oh~" Lin Chuyun sighed, "Then, you just said Xuanqing Gate and Taibai Gate, what about this Qingshui Gate?"

"This Qingshuimen, it is composed of the female disciples of the original Sanqingmen, all of them are female Taoists, it is said that all of them are beautiful women, but it's a pity, it's a pity, a woman like a flower and jade, she became a Taoist priest at the beginning, and she can no longer have a joy with a man. "The eyebrows of the mouse are dancing, but they are children, and they just listen to word of mouth, how can they know what women are.

He continued: "Qingshuimen later moved to Jiangnan, outside Sulan City, not on the mountain, because now many people in the rivers and lakes who don't understand the Tao have forgotten the relationship between Qingshuimen and Sanqingmen, you think, they are all female disciples, and their martial arts are naturally worse, and the reputation in the rivers and lakes is naturally not as good as Xuanqingmen and Taibaimen!"

"Who told you that Qingshuimen's martial arts are bad?" As he spoke, a woman in fairy clothes appeared in front of her.

The mouse didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, the little nonsense, I don't know that the Qingshuimen woman is here, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned! The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life!"

The woman said again: "At a young age, if you speak out, this girl will teach you a lesson!" As she spoke, a slender hand touched the sword at her waist.

The rat knew that something was wrong, his eyes rolled, and he was about to think of running away, when he just gave Lin Chuyun a look. But seeing Lin Chuyun standing aside, looking straight at the girl in front of him with his eyes, the mouse patted his head helplessly, this kid, at this juncture, he learned to appreciate beautiful girls, and if he looked at it more, his life would be lost.

"Forget the senior sister, it's just a child in the rivers and lakes, why bother to see it generally. A woman next to her said.

The fairy-clothed woman smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Forget it, forget it, lest you little ghost say that Qingshuimen is a bully." With that, he walked into the hotel without looking back.

The mouse was frightened at this time, and secretly looked up at the back of the fairy, and sure enough, the figure was beautiful, and all the Qingshuimen disciples walked as gentle as water, leaving a little fragrance everywhere they passed.

"Hey, hey, hey!" the mouse snickered while peeking, these homeless children have seen ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, and it is indeed rare to see such delicate and beautiful girls. Looking back, Lin Chuyun was still standing on the ground in a daze.

"Hey, look stupid, think the fairy has come down to earth?" said and slapped him on the back of the head.

Lin Chuyun came to his senses at this time, and his cheeks were slightly red: "Who are they?"

The mouse slapped his head again, looked at the dumbfounded little friend in front of him, and said, "Then you still need to ask? It must be someone from Qingshuimen! If I guessed correctly, the one just now is the big disciple of Qingshuimen, who is known as the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, Shen Luoxue." Eh, did you just see what she looked like? I kept my head down, and I didn't dare to look at it. ”

Lin Chuyun nodded.

"Isn't it pretty?"

Lin Chuyun nodded again, scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly.

The mouse slapped him on the back of the head again: "You are still laughing, you dare to look at the Jianghu Woman like this, don't you want to die?" As soon as the sword came out, he stabbed a few holes in you, saying that you dared to flirt with a famous female disciple at a young age, can you run away?"

"Isn't Qingshuimen decent, he won't kill people so casually. Lin Chuyun said.

The mouse spread his hands, facing this stupid boy, he didn't know what to say.

While he was talking, another team of people hurried by, and the mouse said, "This is the person from Songyangmen." ”

"How do you know?"

"Dressed in dark gray, with an iron sword in hand, it is obviously the symbol of Songyang Gate, the most important thing is that there are waist cards on all waists, and only Songyang Gate is like this on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Is this Songyangmen very powerful?"

The mouse nodded, and only after a while did he groan: "No, what day is today, why are all these big factions of the rivers and lakes coming to Qingyang Town?"

"Okay, let you steal sweet potatoes, but you're gossiping here, good boy, don't take me seriously!"

It's for rats.

"Black dog?" Lin Chuyun was wondering, how could the mouse provoke this homeless child.

"Haha, let Lao Tzu steal sweet potatoes for you, dream about you, the last time you were caught by Lao Tzu was Lao Tzu's back, there is a kind of catching Lao Tzu again, you can bear it if you catch it!"

The black dog was angry, and commanded the little minions around him: "Catch him for me, I'm going to beat him hard, this stinky boy, catch him for me." ”

A few little minions swarmed in, and the rat pushed Lin Chuyun away and made him flash to the side, his body suddenly turned, passing through the gap between several small minions, and ran away while grimacing.

It turned out that although the mouse's martial arts skills were not high, he had a light skill under his feet, although it was not enough to deal with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, it was enough to play with these stray children.

The black dog was so angry that he shouted: "I can't hold you, I can't hold your buddy, you guys, take him down for me first!" said Lin Chuyun.

There were a few more minions behind him who rushed towards Lin Chuyun in a hurry.

Although Lin Chuyun has never learned martial arts, but the children who live in the rivers and lakes will always have three moves and two styles, he is smart and studious, and he thinks that he is more powerful than these little minions.

"You guys, catch him and come to me, and I'll go after that little rabbit!" said the black dog, and ran towards the mouse.

I saw the mouse jumping up and down, and the black dog was angry, chasing and scolding.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew across the entire Qingyang Town from north to south.

The sky changed, and a thick cloud was coming towards Qingyang.

Black clouds crush the city.

The black dog only chased the mouse, but forgot to look ahead, and accidentally, he collided with a person.

The black dog was still angry, and he got up and was about to scold, but he saw the person in front of him, dressed in black and robed, with a coat and hat covering his head, and an iron-blue mask faintly visible on his face.

Somehow, the black dog suddenly couldn't speak.

"Collide with the sect leader, you should be ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black waved his hand, and the back of his hand hit the black dog's face.

A black gas burst out, only to see the black dog's face and neck broken instantly, blood gushed out, and the pain was not yet shouted, but in an instant, the entire black dog's body turned into red blood, and then turned into a puff of purple smoke, floating all over the ground, and there was not even scum left.

Everyone in front of them was stunned.

This man killed the black dog in the street, and with a wave of his hand, he turned a large living person into powder.

The martial arts are high and the means are cruel, which is rare in the world.

"Killed. "Another casual remark.

Several black-robed people around him drew their swords and stood up, and the little minions of the black dogs instantly fell in a pool of blood.

These homeless children did not see the faces of their killers until they died.

Lin Chuyun was in the distance, and after witnessing all this, he almost couldn't help but shout, and suddenly someone covered his mouth and pulled him into the alley.

That person was none other than the senior brother of Lingyunmen, Zhao Changfeng.

The black-clothed man with an iron mask led his group of sect members to walk forward slowly, and the entire Qingyang Town was dumbfounded.

He sat in the largest restaurant in the town, took off the hood of his black robe, and said with his true anger: "Didn't you Middle-earth martial arts look for me everywhere Helian Ji? Now that I came in person, all of them are martial arts heroes, don't you dare to come out to meet?"

This person's voice is not high, but he can make everyone within a radius of one mile hear clearly, and the internal strength is unfathomable.

As soon as the name "Helian Ji" came out, everyone's faces turned pale.

Helian Ji, the leader of the Demon Sect, came to Qingyang Town today.

One after another, some decent people walked into the hall of the restaurant and stood opposite the Demon Sect members, Xuanqing Gate, Taibai Gate, Qingshui Gate, Songyang Gate, Lingyun Gate, Qiankun Society, Lingyin Temple, Qinghu Gang and other sects and gangs all arrived.

The confrontation lasted for a long time.

"Helian Ji, your Demon Sect has harmed the Central Plains, and you have done all kinds of evil, today my Central Plains martial arts sect is gathered here, and your Demon Sect still dares to come here to be presumptuous?" shouted a disciple in the Xuanqing Sect.

Helian Ji sneered: "You little minions, I don't care about it at all." ”

"Helian Jie, you have a great sect, and you yourself are also strong in martial arts, when you are a martial arts venerable, how can you help the rebel thief, take refuge in the king of Zhenyan outside the pass, attack the Central Plains, and help the abuse?"

Helian Ji laughed and said: "Little ghost, I, Helian Ji, am a member of the Wuyan tribe, and it is my duty as the leader of the Motian God Sect to pray for the favor of the true god for my Wuyan people, the Central Plains is rich in water and grass, you Daning people have no ability, it's time for us Wuyan people to rule the world!"

"Wishful thinking! The barbarians of the Northland are dreaming of spring and autumn!" shouted everyone.

"Don't talk nonsense, this Qingyang Town, as the intelligence place of your Central Plains martial arts, will cease to exist from now on, don't blame the old man for killing him!"

The swords of the crowd were unsheathed, and the battle was about to break out.

"Kill!"

A single word, but it penetrated everyone's ears.

Helian Ji was together, and the demonic anger was so strong that the entire roof of the restaurant was overturned.

Before the martial arts people could calm down, the people in the Demon Sect rushed up.

There was a fierce fight.

The people who were fighting fiercely in the restaurant suddenly heard a shout of killing outside.

It turned out that this time the Demon Sect went south, and there were many people who led it, these people were ambushed around Qingyang Town, and when they fought together, they rushed into the town, killing people when they saw them, women, children, old and young, none of them were spared.

"Go and protect the residents of the town!" Li Xiao, as the eldest disciple of the Xuanqing Sect, was considered the most prestigious leader in this martial arts alliance, so he took on the responsibility of commanding.

The martial arts crowd scattered one after another, fighting against the people of the Demon Sect who rushed in the town.

And Li Xiao's swordsmanship is really elegant, none of the Demon Sect disciples can get close to him, and the Xuanqing Taiji Sword in one hand, the Demon Sect disciples dare to fight against him, and they all become the souls of the sword.

He didn't expect that the Demon Sect's action was so powerful this time, and even the Demon Sect Leader Helian Ji was here in person.

After more than 20 years of martial arts, the first achievement of divine skills, Xuanqing Taiji Sword, specially designed to kill demons.

For the sake of martial arts, for the sake of the Daning Dynasty, for the tranquility of the entire Shenwu Continent, as a rookie in martial arts, an unborn master among the young generation, this is the responsibility of my generation.

Success and defeat, here a fight.

Li Xiao raised his sword and walked towards Helian.

Helian Ji's face was covered by Tie Qing's mask, and his face could not be seen, but a trace of contemptuous and evil smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be doomed.

Li Xiao stabbed out with a sword, this sword was hidden for half a lifetime, and the sword qi was full, almost any master could not ignore this sword, and he either chose to take it hard or be killed.

And the back move of this sword is even more endless. If it weren't for the first-class master of martial arts, as long as Li Xiao used this sword, the victory would basically be decided.

Helian Ji turned lightly and dodged.

Li Xiao shouted, his wrist flicked, and the second sword was immediately stabbed.

The magic of swordsmanship is rare in the world.

This sword, Helian Ji didn't dodge, he flicked the back of his hand on the stabbing sword, only to see that the black gas surged, and the sword in Li Xiao's hand was broken.

This is a sword made of Longxi steel, named Xiaofeng, in the rivers and lakes, it is also a rare magic weapon.

Shattered.

Only in the flick of Helian Ji's fingers.

Then, Helian Ji never gave Li Xiao any chance. The black gas around him was steaming, and he didn't even use weapons, and he made three moves as soon as he made a move, Li Xiao had no resistance, and was held by Helian Ji.

Helian Ji sneered: "Central Plains Martial Arts, but so, you are not lucky today." ”

Li Xiao was still in shock, in Helian Ji's hands, he was like a powerless child.

This scene was seen by all the martial arts people, Li Xiao, a famous master, the Xuanqing Taiji Sword was superb, and under Helian Ji, he didn't go through three moves.

Immediately, Helian Ji took out a dagger made of black steel from his waist and compared it to Li Xiao's neck.

Shen Luoxue suddenly lost her soul and shouted, "Don't ......"

Before the word "want" could be spoken, Helian Ji's dagger cut Li Xiao's throat, and blood poured out.

Shen Luoxue completely disregarded her image, and she couldn't shout if she wanted to, so she fell to the ground with a limp, her face like ashes.

Helian Jie laughed arrogantly before he began to kill, incurring death.

Even Li Xiao was helpless, and Helian Ji was no longer stoppable.

Everyone collapsed at the touch of a button, and what was left was an embarrassing escape. Everyone knows that Qingyang Town can't be saved, and anyone who doesn't run fast has only a dead end.

It's just that everyone underestimated the Demon Sect. They thought that all the Demon Sect had to do was to kill the people of Qingyang Town.

After the entire town was already bleeding, Helian Ji stood in the center of the town, the eight protectors stood in eight directions beside him, and the rest of the people were all evacuated ten miles away from Qingyang Town.

Helian Ji let out a long roar, and the black qi permeated his body, only to hear him shout: "Heavenly Demon Mixed Yuan Wuji!"

This sound spread ten miles away.

All the people, including the people who had fled from the martial arts, as well as the members of the Demon Sect, heard this.

It's the Heavenly Demon Mixed Yuan Gong.

But seeing the black clouds rolling, the entire Qingyang Town let out a roar that resounded through the sky, and the black smoke rose from the ground and went straight to the sky, and the entire Qingyang Town, except for the center where Helian Ji and the Eight Protectors were standing, were all turned into ashes in this demonic black smoke.
