Chapter 2 (1) Snowfall in the middle of summer in Windwind City
Ji Lingfeng, the city lord of Lingfeng City, is the younger brother of the former emperor, the only surviving uncle of the current emperor, who made great contributions to the emperor's accession to the throne back then, and was named the king of the word side by side, and gave this Lingfeng City in the north as a fief, Lingfeng City only recognizes the city lord, does not recognize the emperor, and enjoys absolute rights and freedom, which is very rare in the history of Great Qin for thousands of years. In addition to Ji Lingfeng's identity as a royal noble, there is another identity that is equally eye-catching, he is also the only junior disciple of the Sword Immortal Liancheng Sword Immortal in the past hundred years, and the senior master of Phoenix Mountain. It is said that a body of skill has reached the peak, although it is not the same as the Liancheng Sword Immortal, but it was also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes back then, although he has never done it with anyone in the past 30 years, but he thinks that his skills should go further and become a master in this world. This time, the Demon Sect used to intercept and kill Jiao Ruilong and his party in Lingfeng City, even though it successfully achieved the effect of attacking them unprepared, but in fact, it really took a great risk.
In a certain room in the City Lord's Mansion, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man was lying on his back on the bed, his face was pale, his body was obviously weak, but one hand was clenched tightly, as if he was a little unwilling, this person was the young sword immortal Jiao Ruilong who appeared on the Forget Worry Tower the day before yesterday.
I saw that the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and an old man in his late teens strode towards the bed. This old man has white eyebrows and white beard, a burly figure, a purple robe, graceful and magnificent, just looking at it makes people feel small. When Jiao Ruilong saw the old man coming, he struggled to get up and salute, but the old man stretched out a hand and gently pressed his shoulder, and said, "Master Jiao's nephew doesn't need to be polite. ”
Jiao Ruilong said, "Uncle Shi, how are the people of the Demon Sect?"
Ji Lingfeng replied: "I have already sent my subordinates to patrol the city, and I have stepped up the investigation at the city gate, if the people of the Demon Sect are still in the city, they will definitely not let them escape easily." ”
Jiao Ruilong thought of the skills of the people who fought against the enemy that day, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, the skills of the Demon Sect are extremely strong, and the soldiers are afraid that it will be difficult to stop them, so it is better to open the city protection array, trap them in the city and then slowly try to do it." ”
Ji Lingfeng shook his head and said: "At the moment, I don't know if the people of the Demon Sect are still in the city, and they have opened the city protection array, and the people are not allowed to enter and exit, and those who are doing business, taking goods, and entering the city for medical treatment are all inconvenient, so it is a mess of life and a bad livelihood, which is a little inappropriate." Master and nephew, you have lived in Phoenix Mountain for a long time, and it is inevitable that you will think less about this. ”
Jiao Ruilong said in a low voice: "Yes" But he was quite disappreciative in his heart, feeling that the demon punishment was in front of him, but he was still looking ahead and looking backwards, which was really a bit petty.
Just thinking about it, he heard Ji Lingfeng ask: "Senior nephew Jiao, you fought with the three masters of the Demon Sect that day, how are their skills?" ”
Jiao Ruilong replied: "The three of them are all extremely strong, among them, the left protector Fei Wen is the highest, and Murong is the second, among them, Murong is extremely domineering, and his moves are wide open and close, while Fei Wen is more restrained, his body is exquisite, his actions are fast, and his moves are weird, and his outbursts are extremely strong, which is really the great enemy I have seen in my life." However, if I hadn't been slightly distracted by the disciples around me at that time, I wouldn't have been attacked by him and stabbed this sword. I saw his left hand touching his chest, with a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, it turned out that he was stabbed in the chest by Fei Wen in the battle yesterday, if it weren't for the fact that his body dodged a little at that time, he didn't hit the vital point, and Ji Lingfeng arrived in time, I am afraid that he would die on the spot.
Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng groaned slightly, and said: "Now that you are seriously injured, there are still three masters of the Demon Sect, even if they are discovered, I don't know if I can defeat them alone." ”
Jiao Ruilong replied: "Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry, the three elders were attacked by Lin Yifan before, and they were hit by a trick of Weixue Qianxia Palm, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time, and the combat power is insufficient, and when Murong returns, he also seems to have an injury on his shoulder, and he may only have six or seven success forces left for the time being, and among these three, only Fei Wen's combat power is missing." ”
Ji Lingfeng said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is indeed reassuring." However, what about the disciple you are talking about, at this age, he can practice Weixue Qianxia's palm, and he can injure masters like Wei Rufeng and Murong, even if it is a sneak attack, it can be said to be a heavenly asset. ”
Jiao Ruilong sighed and said, "I asked him to come to the City Lord's Mansion for help that day, but I didn't expect Murong to chase him out, and I wanted to come..."
Ji Lingfeng sighed: "That's it, it's a pity, but the soldiers in the city haven't found this child, and the matter can't be decided, I think there may be a turnaround, or hurry up to find it, if this child is not in trouble, it needs to be cultivated well." ”
Jiao Ruilong pondered for a moment and said, "He is from the Immortal Array Lin family. ”
Ji Lingfeng said: "That's really a pity, the Lin family will eventually go into hiding after completing their studies, and it is impossible for him to inherit the Phoenix faction." But even so, it is necessary to cultivate it well, and do not waste such a good seedling. ”
Jiao Ruilong nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
In a courtyard in the city, a young man slowly opened his eyes, and this young man was Lin Yifan, who was knocked unconscious by Murong the day before. I heard a little girl shouting next to me: "Grandpa grandpa, he's awake." An old man walked to the window unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Hey, young man, wake up."
Lin Yifan looked at it fixedly, and these two people were actually the old storyteller who forgot about his worries upstairs the day before yesterday and the little girl beside him. Lin Yifan just hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Mr. for saving your life." ”
The old man didn't help, and said with a smile: "Young man, I fought hard that day to save you under the old man of the Demon Sect." ”
Lin Yifan was puzzled, but he still said with a straight face: "Mr.'s kindness, there is nothing to repay, if Mr. has anything to do with the kid, he will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
Hearing the giggling laughter from the side, it turned out to be the old man's granddaughter couldn't help laughing and said, "Grandpa, you are lying again, obviously hiding somewhere and waiting for others to leave to save this brother." ”
The old storyteller looked embarrassed and taught the little girl: "What is the child talking about, be careful not to buy you sugar gourds." ”
Yifan was still puzzled about how this old man, who had no martial arts at all, could rescue himself from Murong's hands, and only then did he understand that Murong was a little jealous of the Lin family after all, and seeing that he was seriously injured and could no longer go to ask for help, he let himself go at the last moment. However, thinking that the storyteller had taken himself home to take care of him for a few days, he still had a lot of kindness to himself, so he hugged his fists and said: "I haven't asked Mr. for his name yet, and I will never forget the grace of this rescue, and he will repay him one day." ”
The old man stroked his beard and said: "Haha, the old man's name is Qiankunzi, he looks at the world with a smile, and he is the old man." ”
Lin Yifan looked at his smug appearance, and suddenly felt very funny, although he smiled in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and said, "Kid remember." However, there is one more thing for the younger generation to ask Mr., I don't know what happened to my junior sister and uncle. ”
The old man's face changed slightly, and he replied: "I heard that the Phoenix faction suffered heavy losses that day, and Jiao Ruilong, the leader of the group, was pierced through the chest by Fei Wen, the left protector of the Demon Sect, and was seriously injured and dying, and two of the junior disciples died directly on the spot, but fortunately, the old city lord Ji got the news out of nowhere and arrived in time, which frightened away the people of the Demon Sect and saved Jiao Ruilong and other Phoenix disciples. ”
"What about my junior sister?" Lin Yifan hurriedly asked.
"That junior sister of yours seems to be fine, yesterday I seemed to see her and a Phoenix Mountain disciple from a distance with some personal soldiers in the city searching for the traces of the Demon Sect. ”
Lin Yifan felt a little relieved when he heard the old man's words, but he thought that there were still masters like Zuo Protector and Great Elder in the Demon Sect, and once he was really hit by Nan Feiyan and others, it would be really dangerous. At this time, he has been missing for a long time, presumably the senior sister must be worried and anxious, where is he still sitting at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Qiankunzi's grace to save him will never dare to forget, but now the people of the Demon Sect may still be in the city, as a person from Phoenix Mountain, it is the time to serve, the kid will say goodbye first, he will definitely come to the door to thank you one day"
The old storyteller didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, good" The little girl asked: "Brother, you've been in a coma for two whole days, can you still fight with others?"
Lin Yifan laughed and said: "Even if you are seriously injured, you don't dare to take half a step back when you get rid of the demon, let alone just some hard injuries, and it's no problem to barely lift seven or eight points of strength." With that, he picked up the long sword beside the bed, hugged his fist to the old man again, and walked out of the house.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard outside the house, Lin Yifan was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, it was the height of summer, and the heat outside was naturally unbearable, but looking up at the sky was a completely different scene, at this time, there was goose feather snow falling from the sky, and under the sunlight, there were bursts of light. Lin Yifan unconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a piece of snowflakes that flew down, the snowflakes melted in his hands, and they were cold, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "This snow?" Before the words were finished, Lin Yifan only felt that suddenly the scenery around him was completely gone, only to feel that he was in a darkness, scattered with a little starlight in the distance, and then in the next second, the darkness suddenly dispersed, but all the scenes around him changed.
In the original courtyard, the storyteller sighed lightly and muttered, "Could this be..."
On this day, in the five famous cities of the Great Qin Empire, it snowed in midsummer.
