Text Chapter 29: The green mountains are hidden, and the devil's traces are beginning to appear
Later Chu, Shangtang County.
There are three cities and eleven counties in Shangtang County, which was originally part of Dahan County, and became the jurisdiction of Houchu after the destruction of Dahan. Shangtang County is adjacent to the border of Qi and Chu, from the tea horse road that runs through the north and south to the north for hundreds of miles, that is, the Feifeng Pass of Houchu, and not far from the pass, crossing the Hengsuo River, you can see the border guard of Daqi patrolling from time to time, over there, it is naturally to the territory of Daqi.
In the past ten years, although the two countries of Qi and Chu have often competed secretly under the stage, they are generally only some unsightly means under the stage, but on the surface they are calm, and there is rarely friction between the borders of the two countries. And Shangtang County, as the last county north of Houchu, is the first stop of Daqi to the south, in terms of geographical location alone, whether it is a transit station, or a hoarding place for goods, it is undoubtedly an excellent place, and because it occupies such a convenience, Shangtang County is more prosperous than other counties in Houchu, and even in some years, the tax income of Shangtang County is higher than that of Houchu Jinggi。
Needless to say, once you can sit in the position of the county guard, it is natural that the financial resources are rolling in and the oil and water pipes are sufficient. Isn't it beautiful to be an official, to be promoted, to make a fortune, one is to seek power, the other is to seek wealth, and both are both?
Man's greed is unquenchable after all.
However, that is only the former Shangtang County, the Shangtang County before the demons appeared, and now, how can there be people in the Houchu officialdom who dare to talk about the Shangtang County, they don't mention a word, as if it were a taboo. I heard that the county guard of Shangtang County, who only took office a few years ago, mixed with the crowd and fled on the day the demon slaughtered the city, leaving behind the entire county town, but he was also lucky to escape, and he didn't die. However, although he escaped, but his fate after returning to the capital was not very good, His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and immediately dismissed him from his official position and threw him into the prison.
Now Zhu Cheng, one of the three cities in Shangtang County, is a huge city, the city is more than ten zhang high, the streets and alleys are vertical and horizontal, and the high-rise buildings are lined up, which is a prosperous scene of bustling cars and horses, but now it is a dead silence, ten miles of long streets, buildings and pavilions, but all people go to the empty buildings.
On the long street, the autumn wind was bleak, and the wind was filled with a lingering smell of putrefaction, and on both sides and around, you could see a mess everywhere, but on the ground, on the walls, and on the beams, all of them were stained with blood stains that had long since dried up, and next to the bloodstains, there were corpses that had begun to decompose.
I don't know how many people died in this whole city.
Since the demon broke the city and slaughtered it, nearly a month has passed, and the survivors in the city, those who can escape, those who can't, the corpses are also full of maggots, and they will be completely corroded.
This city has long been devoid of the living, and some are just many corpses and souls that have died tragically, like a hell on earth.
A young man, dressed in a white shirt, walked in slowly from the south gate of Nagisa Castle, followed by three young men with long swords and a wary look on their faces.
As soon as the four of them walked into the city from the south gate, what they saw was a huge crack that forcibly divided the long street under their feet into two halves, and its width was about twenty feet!
The young man looked at the crack under his feet with a curious expression, completely ignoring the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the field not far away: "This is the power of your Yu Sword Saint's sword?"
Although the young man did not turn his head, his words were naturally not talking to himself, but to the three young people behind him who were wearing the same green and blue clothes.
These three young people are all disciples of the Sword Palace in Houchu Town, and their realms are all around the swordsman, and they follow the young man from the Hidden Sword Mountain in front of them to enter this Shangtang County under the order of the master of the sect.
Probably responsible for guarding the strategy, but, to say so, but the young man in front of him, although his age is indeed younger than them, but in terms of cultivation, he is unattainable, and he is young, he is actually a swordsman, so talented, it is a realm that they can not reach, so speaking of which, who protects whom, it is really not certain.
The young man saw the corpses everywhere in the city but his face was expressionless, he was only interested in the cracks left by the sword of the sword saint, but the three of them couldn't, as soon as they entered the city, they saw so many corpses that had begun to rot or were half decomposed, men, women and children, all kinds of deaths, dense maggots crawling on it, as soon as the cold autumn wind blew in the autumn, they couldn't help but shake their bones, and then smelled the rancid smell that came to their noses, their faces turned white, and they were nauseous, and then they couldn't help it anymore, and they bent down to spit out the dirt in their stomachs。
After vomiting for a while, he felt a little better, the young man standing in front of him, his cheeks were thin, his eyebrows and eyes were a little thick, he still looked a little honest, he took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped his mouth, looked at the young man, and said with sincere admiration: "Senior Brother Liu, you saw this miserable situation in the city, and you didn't react, and you still have the leisure to say this, which is really admirable." ”
This young man in white is naturally the young man that Li Mengtang and Liu Yue talked about before, the orphan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fufeng.
The disciple of Zhenjian Palace, who was older than him, called him "Senior Brother Liu", and there seemed to be no problem with the first person on the path of cultivation, Liu Fufeng also accepted this title peacefully, he only turned his head now, looked at the disciple of Zhenjian Palace, and said with a smile: "These corpses?"
"Dead is dead, and when they are completely corroded, there will be no flesh and blood, just a dry bone, and after a hundred years, even if it is a dry bone, it will turn into a cloud of ash and smoke in this world, and what is there to look at? For me, it is not as interesting as this 'sword mark' in front of me. ”
Another slightly chubby Zhenjian Palace disciple on the side also eased up and said, "This is just the result of our Master Yu's sword slashing, what's so beautiful?"
Liu Fufeng looked at the three of them with a slight smile, but his expression was indescribable...... Contempt, as if looking at the three ants: "So, I am a swordsman, and you are just a swordsman." ”
In fact, for him, the three people in front of him are indeed three ants, if they really have the heart, they can still be easily pinched to death.
But now is not the time......
“......”
The expressions of the three disciples of Zhenjian Palace were a little unnatural, although along the way, they generally understood some of the temperament of this "Senior Brother Liu", but now that he said this, they were inevitably still a little resentful in their hearts, but they were just not angry, and they didn't dare to have anything else, after all, they were a genuine swordsman.
The boy looked at the crack under his feet for a moment, and saw that he knew it, and verified in his mind some speculations that had been left for a long time.
After comparing the guesses, he lifted his feet and continued walking.
When I looked back, I saw that the three of them were still in the same place.
"What are you three still doing in a daze, hurry up. ”
"Oh......" The three Zhenjian Palace disciples hurriedly replied and hurriedly followed.
The four of them walked slowly along the long street in the city, and the crack cut out by the Sword Saint of the Zhenjian Palace actually started from the long street of the south gate to the end of the north gate, spanning the entire city, and the length was amazing, which showed how terrifying the power of this sword was!
The four of them walked to the center of the city, but it was a crossroads, a square intersection, leading to the east, west, north and south gates, along the way, there were naturally corpses everywhere in the eyes. The three people who followed behind the young man didn't spit it out anymore, but their faces were still as pale as paper, most of them were frightened, more than ten years ago, the mountain cultivation did not ask about the world, and they were not veterans of the battlefield on the battlefield, the first time they saw such a scene, it would naturally be like this.
The corpses in the city, not to mention more than 100,000, have died more than ten years ago, when the Great Han Imperial City was broken.
Walking here, the disciple of Zhenjian Palace, who had a thin face and an honest appearance, couldn't help but ask again, "Senior Brother Liu, what are we here for?"
Liu Fufeng glanced at him, looked at him like an idiot, and said, "What are you doing? Do you still need to ask, I promised you that Emperor Houchu would suppress the scourge of demons here, come here, then naturally it is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, Li Ji, are you stupid? What kind of monk are you with such qualifications?"
The young man had such a poisonous tongue, but the disciple named Li Ji didn't dare to refute it in the slightest, but the slightly chubby disciple next to him had a good relationship with him on weekdays, so he said unfairly: "Senior Brother Liu, it's not me who said, in this Shangtang County, there is still a demon comparable to the Sword Saint realm, and even my family Master Yu has suffered, although you are in the Sword Master realm, if you meet that demon, I'm afraid that it is, you won't be able to get benefits, right?"
He was smart, and he didn't directly say that he would definitely lose, but just euphemistically said that he couldn't get any benefits.
However, the young man could naturally understand what he said, so he only heard him proudly say: "Your family master Yu can't do it, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it either." ”
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at each other, wondering if this young swordsman from Hidden Sword Mountain was so ashamed to speak out, was he crazy, or did he really have a killer hand?
Liu Fufeng ignored the three people with different expressions, only to see that he took out a vermilion wood sword box out of thin air, but it was not the same as the sword box he had seen in the ordinary. This vermilion wood sword box is square, slightly longer, and there is no sword into the mouth of the sword, just like a box, once opened, it is full of a dazzling variety of small swords, the length of each is not more than the length of the adult's middle finger, under the careful count, there are as many as forty, amazing.
The three Zhenjian Palace disciples looked curiously at the sword box held in the young man's hand, the small sword inside had a unique style, but it was the first time they had seen it in their lives, how to control such a small sword?
Liu Fufeng glanced at it roughly, picked a small black sword at random, pinched it with his index finger and thumb, and then threw it out at will.
I saw that suddenly a black light shot out, and the small black sword suddenly turned into three feet, the size of an ordinary sword, and then turned into a black light, and flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The young man was still not satisfied, so he picked up a small sword, and immediately, a blue light followed the black light, and disappeared into the sky one after another.
This scene, the three people who watched it looked unexpected, it was really an eye-opener!
The young man looked at the three of them and smiled coldly, with an expression of indescribable contempt.
......
Not far from Nagisa City, there is a big green mountain, at this time, there are two flying swords, one black and one blue, coming out of the air!
On the Daqing Mountain, a huge red palm suddenly stretched out, covering the sky and the sun, covering a layer of shadows for dozens of miles. The red palm opened and rushed in the direction of the two flying swords, looking at the posture, but it seemed to want to grasp the two flying swords firmly, and then crush them.
However, the two flying swords did not show the slightest sign of slowing down or turning around to dodge and deviate, and they actually did not hesitate to meet the huge red palm at great speed.
As soon as the two came into contact, the huge red palm immediately pulled into a fist, as if the two flying swords had been successfully grasped, and the red light was dazzling.
But I heard "poof" With a sound, a small hole was broken on the back of the red palm, and then, a black and a blue flew out of the small opening, and then it did not go far, but turned a corner in a small way, and the two flying swords, one left and one right, stabbed to the back of the red palm from both sides, and easily pierced through the past without any suspense, and flew out from the palm of the hand, as simple as piercing a piece of paper, and before the palm could react, the two flying swords turned around again, and pierced the palm with lightning speed.
In less than ten breaths, the red palm had been pierced by two flying swords, and there were tiny cuts everywhere, like a hornet's nest!
Roar!
