Chapter 497: Central Plains Sword Society (I)

At the time of Shen, looking for the ...... on the mountain.

The mountain is arched in four rings, covered by dense jungle, covering the labyrinth of mountain paths, and although the road to the top of the mountain is not long, it is not easy for ordinary people to climb to the top quickly. Now what Fang Zhongtian and the others are about to go to is the top of this Xunwei Mountain, which will inevitably lead to a complex and unknown forest path, and Tian Xu will also set up an ambush in the jungle to wait for everyone to arrive.

On the top of the hill, there is a courtyard that seems to have been abandoned and not renovated, and the courtyard inside is very spacious, although the eaves of the attic are old, but the institutions in the courtyard are neatly arranged. Most of these mechanisms are framed cages made of wood and metal, and it seems that Tian Xu has no intention of learning the mechanism technique from the demon master, and has spent more than ten years of hard work, just to make a break with Fang Zhongtian here today......

Passing through the middle of the courtyard, in front of the abandoned attic door, Fang Ying was tied to a pillar - it was obvious that this time Fang Ying was completely taken hostage, to threaten everyone who came. And on the sides of the cage, there are also black-clothed assassins who are eager to try - these are also the subordinates of the ghost king master Tian Xu, if there are many disciples of the Yixian Sect, they are also ready to wait for Tian Xu at any time.

As for Tian Xu's cronies, Qiu Ruxin did not leave this compound for a moment, and it seemed that Tian Xu had specially arranged for him to be on standby here. However, Qiu Ruxin's expression did not seem too calm, but a look of sadness and sadness, especially when I heard Tian Xu tell Fang Ying about the past of Yangzhou yesterday - the place of his life - Qiu Ruxin was also full of emotion......

"What are you thinking?" As Qiu Ruxin stroked Qin's thoughts, Tian Xu's cold voice interrupted her reverie.

"I didn't ...... I didn't think about anything...... "Qiu Ruxin didn't look at Tian Xu squarely. He replied as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph, I'm thinking about the original thing again, right......" Tian Xu saw through Qiu Ruxin's mind at a glance. first greeted him, and then said. "I told you a long time ago, don't move too much emotion, emotion is like poison that will kill the person who falls into it...... Hmph, anyway, the matter has come to this, as soon as Fang Zhongtian arrives, I will make a break with him, and then all the grievances will be over, and all the grievances will be settled. I will be the final victor......" said, Tian Xu showed a hideous but hesitant expression, perhaps in his heart, he did not completely throw away his memories.

"Master-" At this moment, Zhou Xingtong walked over from the stairs outside the compound, as if he wanted to report the situation, and came to Tian Xu with a serious face.

"How's it going, what I arranged for you......" Tian Xu asked Zhou Xingtong again.

Zhou Xingtong bowed his head and said: "One qiē is ready, and the twenty-four gates under the mountain are ready." Just waiting for the disciples of the Yat-sen Sect to come-"

Tian Xu listened, nodded and replied: "Very good-remember, the people of Yixian Gate will come over later, and the twenty-four gates entrance array will be ambushed." I just need to let Fang Zhongtian, Ge Wei, and Huang Ji come up the mountain here, and the others will all intercept me at the bottom of the mountain...... Hmph, even if the four saints of martial arts are here. Don't think about breaking my twenty-four doors. Fang Zhongtian, I must fight you alone-"

Zhou Xing informed Daotian Xu for today. Preparations have been made eighteen years ago, and a qiē are carefully arranged without any bad cuò. But out of worry. Zhou Xingtong still asked, "Master, if the Canglong hero also comes...... What to do?"

However, Tian Xu didn't seem to care at all, he smiled lightly and said, "Hmph, it's okay, Canglong Hero won't come, we have already received the news, he will represent Yixian Gate to participate in today's Central Plains Sword Meeting in Cloud Main City...... In Cloud Main City, I have asked Bai Xie to prepare an ambush, just waiting for the Canglong hero to enter the urn. Among you, only Bai Xie has the ability and certainty to deal with Canglong. This time, he made a foolproof plan and deliberately targeted Canglong, and he also promised me that Canglong had entered the Cloud Lord City, and it was impossible for him to survive......"

"Is that really the case?" Zhou Xingtong still said with palpitations, "Although he is not the Canglong hero of the three seniors, his martial arts are there, and Senior Brother Bai Xie is ...... Are you really sure?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, because that complete strategy was arranged by me......," Tian Xu continued to sneer, "I already know the weakness of Canglong's martial arts, as long as he targets his weakness, it is impossible for him to leave Cloud Lord City alive...... As long as we concentrate on dealing with this place, we can kill two birds with one stone. What Canglong Heroes, what Martial Arts Seven Heroes, all of them are not our opponents......"

Tian Xu was planning here, but Fang Ying, who was tied to the pillar, was looking at the front of the courtyard with a worried face at this time. She wasn't worried about whether she would be saved, but when she heard Tian Xu's plan, she was worried about the danger of saving her father, Xiao Tian and Huang Ji.

Tian Xu glanced back at Fang Ying, saw her worried expression, walked up a few steps up the stairs, and said with a smile: "Hmph, don't expect more, your father, and Huang Ji, those old guys who have already begged the gang, they will all die at my hands...... And you, I will let you see this qiē with your own eyes, and see how your father repaid the grievances of Yangzhou with his death...... The Dragon Hero seems to be very important to him as well, but he was attacked in Cloud Lord City, so I'm afraid you won't see his death......"

However, there was not the slightest fear in Fang Ying's eyes, she faced Tian Xu, she put on a smiling face, and responded with a smile: "Eighteen years ago, the grievance in Yangzhou, the real fault is not my father, but you - it is you who have been entangled by your own demons, and you have been restless for eighteen years......."

"What did you say?" Tian Xu saw that Fang Ying was still refuting himself at this time, and asked rhetorically with his eyes fixed.

"Stop it as soon as possible, in fact, my father never hated you from the bottom of his heart...... Fang Ying continued, "If you continue to be obsessed, you will definitely lose, Brother Huang Ji, Brother Xiao Tian and Sister Su will definitely come to save my ......" In the last sentence, Fang Ying had a longing look in his eyes.

When Tian Xu heard this, he was already furious in his heart, but in front of Fang Ying. He didn't show it too much. Tian Xu clenched his hands into fists and looked directly at Fang Ying, who was not looking at him squarely. He took a few heavy breaths, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." You can do it, since you really regard death as home, then I will fulfill you, and let you go to Huangquan with your beloved Huang Ji and your father!"

After saying this, Tian Xu turned his head and left the stairs, continuing to arrange the mechanism settings in the courtyard, and Fang Ying didn't say anything more, the direction of her eyes remained unchanged, looking at the direction of the courtyard gate where a familiar figure might appear. Fang Ying's state of mind at this time was also entangled......

On the other hand, because he agreed to the commission of Yixian Gate, Xiao Tian, as a Canglong hero, went to the Cloud Main City together with the escorted Fengwen and went to the "Central Plains Sword Society". In fact, Xiao Tian knew very well in his heart that Su Jia had also told him before that since the people of the Ghost King Division wanted to put themselves to death, they would definitely try their best to get rid of themselves. As soon as the news came out that he went to the "Central Plains Sword Society". The people of the Ghost King Division will definitely do a good job of ambushing in advance, and this trip to Cloud Lord City will definitely be more auspicious......

Not far from the Cloud Lord City, Xiao Tian and Feng Wen came to the gate of the Cloud Lord City first. This is not like other cities under the strict jurisdiction of the Mongol and Yuan courts. Cloud Lord City has not been affected too much by the imperial court, nor has it been controlled by too many official governments, in comparison. It's more like a free place where martial arts leisure people like to gather. Because of this, the "Central Plains Sword Festival" is held here every year. There is no need to talk about any national affairs, but it should be a reunion of martial arts celebrities who have not met for a long time. Talk about some leisure trivia, and occasionally mention some of the current situation in the world in recent days. It is somewhat similar to the shape of the Jishi Conference, but the strict sù sex is not as good as that, and many of the people present are famous people in the martial arts, but they are not absolutely from famous and decent families.

It is precisely because the "Central Plains Sword Society" is not particularly important, so the noisy Yixianmen of Shaoli Jianghu is often absent from such reunions, if it is not for the nomination of the disciples of Yixianmen to attend this time, I am afraid that Yixianmen will not participate. But who would have thought that this sword meeting would be entangled with the grievances of the ghost king, and when Fang Zhongtian, who was entangled in two places, had a headache, Xiao Tian took the initiative to stand up and be willing to take on this responsibility, and attended this Central Plains Sword Meeting as a Canglong hero.

However, the people in the rivers and lakes did not know the true identity of the Canglong Hero, they only knew that in recent days, from the border of the Western Regions to the Central Plains, a young man who called himself "Canglong Hero" appeared. After all, everyone knows that the real Canglong hero is known as the "Three Old-timers of Martial Arts" together with Shangguan Xianjian and Master Xuanqing, and it is impossible to be a young student. And this young student actually made the martial arts of the Canglong hero, and in the Jishi Conference, he fought several martial arts four saints and seven heroes, and did not fall behind, which shows that it is extraordinary. This news has already spread throughout the Central Plains martial arts, and now the Canglong hero is attending the Central Plains Sword Meeting on behalf of Yixian Gate, which naturally arouses the curiosity of the martial arts people......

"This is Cloud Lord City...... Xiao Tian put on the mask of Canglong again, looked up at the three big characters of "Cloud Lord City" on the city wall, and said silently.

"This time, Xiao Shaoxia, as a Canglong hero, attended the news of the Central Plains Sword Meeting, the whole river and lakes have spread, and countless martial arts celebrities will come, if you want to see Xiao Shaoxia's demeanor, I am afraid that this Central Plains Sword Meeting is also the largest number of people......" Fengwen smiled relaxedly.

"Don't take it lightly...... however, Xiao Tian has always maintained a calm expression, and responded calmly, "The people of the Ghost King Division must also know about my coming to Cloud Lord City...... In order to protect Sister Ying, we have also formed a lot of grudges with the people of the Ghost King Master, if they want to kill me, they must have laid an ambush in the Cloud Lord City in advance, we must not let our guard down......"

Feng Wen saw that Xiao Tian was a little nervous, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, don't worry too much, even if the people of the Ghost King Master are ambushed here, the people who are here today are all famous people in the martial arts, even if he has the ability to do it, he will not dare to do it to you openly." If they show their heads, don't talk about us, I'm afraid that all the martial arts celebrities won't let them go, so don't worry too much......"

Feng Wen said this, but Xiao Tian didn't seem to have too many opinions, and the next action made Feng Wen a little embarrassed - I saw that Xiao Tian didn't say anything, didn't look at Feng Wen, and slowly took off Feng Wen's hand on his shoulder, and then walked straight in the direction of Cloud Main City.

Although this action was inadvertent, it made Fengwen a little embarrassed, Fengwen secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "What's the matter, does it mean that the dignified Canglong hero doesn't like others to take his shoulder......s?"

Xiao Tian was unfamiliar with his life, and he walked into the Cloud Lord City first, so Fengwen naturally had to follow him immediately. In fact, Fengwen was calm and natural on the surface, but he also knew in his heart that the ghost king master had always been meticulous and meticulous in his work, and what Xiao Tian said just now was not unreasonable. Since Xiao Tian and the Ghost King Master have a holiday, the Ghost King Master will never let go of the opportunity to kill him, this time on the trip to Cloud Lord City, things are definitely not so simple......

Entering the main city of Yun, the scene inside is vaguely visible, although it is not as good as Bianliang and Yangzhou, such a prosperous big city, but there is still everything. The staggered houses are quite orderly, and the place where the garden is bustling with each other, the most impressive thing is a lakeside in front of it.

There is nothing particularly peculiar about Cloud Lord City, the only thing that has some characteristics is this big lake. It is very common for a river to run through the city, but there are very few natural lakes in the city. The lakeside is not only wide, but also surrounded by all kinds of houses, when they are idle, the surrounding people will come out to the lake to fish, whether it is a full load or a rare harvest, everyone's expression is very happy. Perhaps this is the peaceful day that ordinary people yearn for the most, there is no jurisdiction of the imperial court, there is no invasion of war, and the common people live and work here in peace and contentment......

Today, the place where the Central Plains Sword Club is held is the edge of the lake. Large and small boats are moored on the shore of the lake, and when the Central Plains Sword Festival is held every year, it becomes a place where all martial arts celebrities gather. This year is no exception, although Yixianmen is often absent from such grand events, but he has still been here a few times, and Fengwen is an elite disciple of Yixianmen for a long time, so he is naturally familiar with the routines here. In comparison, Xiao Tian came here for the first time, he was not familiar with the place, and he had to follow the instructions of Feng Wen for everything, so it was no wonder that Fang Zhongtian would send Feng Wen to come with Xiao Tian......

"Xiao Shaoxia, look, the front is where the conference gathers—" Feng Wen said, pointing in the direction of the boats moored on the lakeside in front of him.

"Is it there?" Xiao Tian looked up, smiled and said, "It's really interesting, I didn't expect to see such a beautiful lakeside in this city...... If I could live here like ordinary people, it would be a wonderful time......"

Accompanied by a relaxed and happy mood, Fengwen also saw the martial arts celebrities who had arrived at the ship, he seemed to think of something, his expression was slightly restrained, and then he asked Xiao Tian: "Xiao Shaoxia, are you serious today...... Do you want to reveal your true identity in front of all the martial arts celebrities?"

"Yes, I promised Gang Master Ge before......" Xiao Tian said calmly, "Besides, the people on the rivers and lakes have already 'quarreled' because of my identity as a dragon hero, I don't want to be the object of other people's verbal comments, instead of burying myself for the rest of my life, it is better to announce my identity earlier......"

"You...... Do you really think so?" asked Fengwen again.

"Of course-" Xiao Tian continued to laugh, "After all, it's ......" Xiao Tian just wanted to say something, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately stopped talking.

"And what?" asked the wind again, not hearing it clearly.

"And ...... and ......" Xiao Tian seemed to be stunned by something, and after rubbing his tongue, he continued to smile, "After reuniting with Jia'er, I have seen a lot of things, these ...... This and that, for me, has been ...... It's not important......" Xiao Tian finished speaking, but the words were very unnatural, and they were not like Xiao Tian on weekdays, it seemed that Xiao Tian was hiding something from Fengwen.

However, Fengwen didn't pay too much attention to it, he thought that Xiao Tian was too nervous, so after a few words of greeting, Fengwen took Xiao Tian to the ship by the lake...... (To be continued......)
