After the morning.

The pigeon flies, and the horse's hooves are fierce.

The blue sky is dotted with white clouds, and the scorching sun is exposed to the stove.

The wisps of undercurrents that have been lurking in the southern region of the Tang Dynasty for many years have been placed in front of the eyes of the world in a bright and bright way.

On such a sunny day, tens of millions of miles in the southern region, in front of countless rivers and lakes, the same repertoire as in front of the Yuyang Taoist Temple was being staged in 6 years.

The same Three Rivers War Horse carried a sergeant to send a mysterious invitation. The difference is the difference in the attitude of these sergeants who deliver the letters. The polite, the rude, the arrogant, the prosaic, varies. As a result, the result of this must be very different. Some people greeted each other with fists, some people ignored them coldly, and there were also a few Taoist temples of the pure yang branch, which directly drew their swords and saw blood, and their heads fell to the ground.

All in all. An invitation is the attitude of the owner of the invitation to all parties. At the same time, it also made those who were far away outside Yueyang City and had not yet noticed that there were tigers lying on the mountain in Yueyang City, and saw a ray of horror. And a handful of extremely smart people have insight into the deep meaning of this tiger...

"Well..."

"He's in Liwei. ”

To the south of Yuyang City, there is a little-known blacksmithing workshop.

The workshop is quite large, with more than 200 zhang up and down. There are a dazzling array of blades on the wall, and the hundred and ten furnaces are neatly arranged in the workshop. Hundreds of sturdy blacksmiths are working with each other to forge ironware, twisting sledgehammers and tongs, or watering and adding carbon.

"This tiger roar is really scary..."

"Bang!

The sound of striking iron is done, and the sparks are lit.

On the right side of the street, several half-aged men with gray heads and sturdy bodies like bears chatted from time to time while twisting hammers and slamming the pieces of iron on the stove.

"Bang!

The man who spoke at first, after a few hard beatings, wiped his cheeks with a dirty sweat towel and poured black charcoal on the iron sheets in the furnace.

"This tiger is very deeply hidden, and it has a bit of a taste..."

While he was standing up, he probably also wanted to see the reaction of all the forces in the entire Southern Regions and even the entire Tang Dynasty to this moon viewing banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. And, those views of Pure Yang, I'm afraid they will have to suffer..."

The man holding the tongs at his side picked up a few pieces of burning coals and placed them on top of the black charcoals.

"Now it seems that the matter of the dancing princess back then should have to be a set. ”

"This routine is also hidden deeply..."

"Bang dang..."

"Hehe, that woman is tender..."

The man on the other side of the stove threw the hammer on the spot, picked up the shovel beside him, and scooped up a pile of black charcoal and scorched it on the coals. The black charcoal suddenly burst into flames and beeped.

"I can give away my young girls. Can this set not be deep? It's not something that can be done without shame..."

"Bang dang..."

After shoveling a few spoonfuls of black charcoal, the man put the shovel back in place and continued to sigh, "But ah, in retrospect, he couldn't help it." If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to keep the girl from talking, and he probably had to lose his own life. ”

"yes. ”

"It's just..."

The man holding the tongs turned his face slightly, looked at the eye-catching envelope on the tea table not far away, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that he dares to roar in the mountains and forests, he must already have the certainty of a war." So on this Lantern Festival, should we still go?"

"Can you not go?"

At this time, the molten iron in the furnace had been burned to a transparent orange. The man who spoke first stopped striking the hammer and picked up a sweat towel to wipe his cheeks.

"There is a Pure Yang Palace behind the Pure Yang Temple, and they dare to be arrogant. However, there is a pile of broken copper and iron behind us, and if there is a real war, what will we compare ourselves to others? If we don't go, we have to go..."

"It's about the big picture..."

"Everybody has to get in, unless you run..."

"But, Kyoto has already cut the sky. If you really want to call, who can run away?"

“......”

The spark turned into white smoke and followed the chimney for nine days.

Nine days of sunshine shine on the mortal world.

The law of the jungle is the norm of this world. If you don't have the strength to swim against the current, and you don't want to go with the flow, you will inevitably have to capsize. This is the sorrow of the weak ...

At the same time, similar to the hesitation in this workshop, it is also wandering in the tens of millions of miles of southern regions, large and small gate courtyard buildings.

The reason for wandering is that certain things are well understood.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, an extremely special time node, it is related to that bloody night twelve years ago. Prince An of the Southern Regions, an extremely sensitive figure, he is the only living prince of the Tang Dynasty. The Yingshui River section of Yueyang is a place recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty. It was the place where the god intervened twenty years ago to mediate the chaos.

Whether you know the details or not, or how many clues you can guess. Yesterday, the wind of cutting the sky was sent from the north, and today someone sent such an invitation to the Lantern Festival to admire the moon. The mystery hidden here made all the high-level leaders of the invited forces secretly panic.

There is no wind and three feet of waves, and there must be demons...

There must be, Great Demon!

When the time, person, and place in this invitation are all put together. No one can doubt what the extreme consequences of what will happen in the future. That must be the seven thousand miles of the Tang Dynasty thunderous, and the mountains and rivers are stained with blood!

It's a relationship between cause and effect...

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, South Mountain Tiger, Whistling Mountain Forest.

As a mountain forest where a tiger has been lying for many years. The major forces in Yueyang City, under this roar, reacted the most obviously. Three hundred courts, four hundred wealthy families, and people from all walks of life who are highly respected in all walks of life all had a look of horror that was difficult to be confident at the moment they saw the invitation, and then they took the invitation with trembling palms. Immediately afterwards, he closed the door to send off the guests, rang the bell three times, and recalled the elders of the city.

The bell of this convening rang in 6 consecutive times, and it was a whole morning that rang through Yueyang for 3,000 years. The people who didn't know the inside story thought that another strong man was going to wash Yueyang City in blood.

It's just that this day is forty-nine, and there will always be one missing.

There are some exceptions to this day's events.

For example, the pure yang concept that has been revoked, no one accepts it. For example, the Seven Star Academy, which had already received two invitations yesterday, no one sent the letter. Another example is the business predators who have long known the inside story, running around. None of them reacted much. Among them, the most surprising is the Wentian Mountain in the west of the city.

Surprisingly, there are two...

The first one is surprising, but it's not actually surprising.

That is, Wentian Pavilion did not receive this invitation to enjoy the moon during the Lantern Festival. However, this is not surprising, and no one is surprised by it. As the old man on the top of the mountain once said, Wentian Pavilion is just a place to study, and he will never ask about and interfere with the grievances and hatreds between the rivers and lakes. Therefore, even if this invitation is delivered, they will inevitably not be accepted. Since it was sent in vain, people naturally wouldn't send it.

However, the second one is very surprising.

Wen Tianshan, who didn't receive the invitation, made an act that was much more exciting than any of the government forces that received the invitation.

Early this morning, the rooster crowed three times.

On the mountainside of Wentian Mountain, thousands of Confucian disciples were rarely gathered, and thousands of outside disciples were gathered back, plus the miscellaneous workers on the mountain, seven or eight thousand people of all sizes were gathered. Neatly arrayed, into hundreds of squares, all with an unsheathed iron sword, wooden sword or bamboo stick. Under the shouts of hundreds of great Confucian teachers, two by two, they slashed each other fiercely and practiced against each other.

The practice was intense, the shouts of killing, the sound of fierce battles, and the ups and downs.

If you don't practice well, you may have less strength. Waiting for the teaching on the side, he will pick up the whip mercilessly, and the whip will be whipped away, leaving a bruise. That posture is like an urgent training before preparing for war, and it is extremely strict to rush the ducks to the shelves.

Very strange...

Such a scene fell in the eyes of those heartless Jianghu children, and it added a bit of wild imagination out of thin air.

As a holy place for the world's poor scholars. In the past, he immersed himself in hard study, did not practice swords, did not practice martial arts, but chose to make a big show when the tiger roared in Yueyang.

Is this a prelude to the knife?

As for who this is going to be used against, it is even more self-evident. Kyoto is above, Yueyang is below, it's nothing more than a knife stabbing up, or a matter of teasing down.

But...

But is this really the case?

Probably not...

At least, this sharpened knife has nothing to do with what those brainless Jianghu children imagined.

"Did I hear me right?"

"He... What did he just say?"

“......”

Ask the big mountain, the right side of the mountainside, between the plank roads.

Xia Xun and Peony, who had just delivered the watermelon to the bamboo house, stood in front of a fat figure in astonishment.

"Seven Star Temple..."

"You're going to beat the Seven Star Academy?"

"Yes!"

Raise your index finger and gently scrape the bridge of your nose back and forth. Xia Xun, who was stunned, thought about it for a long time. However, he still didn't think of this bizarre answer.

Xia Xun timidly asked, "Are you mistaken?"

Big mouth, chew a few times the food in your mouth, and grin.

"Make no mistake, it's you turtle grandchildren who hit it! Go home and wash your butts and wait!"

"Uh..."

Grab the green silk on the top of your head, and be even more confused. Xia Xun looked sideways at Peony: "What's wrong with them recently?"

Peony pouted and shook her head: "No." ”

Xia Xun lowered his eyelids and looked back at the knife master angrily: "Could it be that you are doing ghost behind your back again?"

"Whew!"

Spit on the spot, and then bite the pig's trotter in his hand. Then, the knife master lifted the pig's trotters and pointed at Xia Xun's nose, glared at him and said angrily: "I sue you little rabbit cub, you don't have anything to do, just pour dirty water on Lao Tzu! What do you think your Seven Star Courtyard is? It's not worth lifting shoes for Lao Tzu, and you still need Lao Tzu to make ghosts?"

"Then you dare to say that you didn't do that in Luoxi Zhai the night before?" Xia Xun didn't give in and said lightly.

Retract the trotters and take another bite.

The knife master seemed to be a little weak-hearted, his eyes glanced at the Jinglou in the distance, and said softly: "Cut, you said that I did it, I did it? I also said that the sow in the kitchen hall was pregnant with a piglet, and it was you who were matched..."

"Master Knife, you can talk like that..."

Peony was slightly displeased, and then said quietly: "We saw yesterday that Luolou was cut off by a knife, and there are knife marks on the ground. ”

"And it's a two-foot heavy knife mark, it's the king's masterpiece. Xia Xun added.

The knife master who fixed his eyes in the distance did not answer.

Obviously, Xia Xun and Peony must have hit him in his dirty matter. In the face of the facts, if you can talk about the lotus, it will be in vain. Therefore, the knife master is too lazy to waste that tongue to chatter, and he looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the knife master still had nothing to say, Xia Xun changed his tone and asked quickly, "To be honest, did you accept other people's blood pills?"

After asking, Peony frowned slightly. However, the knife master was very impatient, deflating the corners of both sides of his mouth. There is no need to ask, the answer to this question has already been written on the face of the knife master.

After not staying long, Xia Xun couldn't help but continue to chatter: "You are also half a Confucian, don't you think that thing is disgusting? That is a human life refining, that is, eating it can make you ascend to the sky in one step, you are not afraid of nightmares every day? Moreover, this person is not..."

Brush...

"What the fuck you!"

The knife master estimated that Xia Xun was annoyed by the chatter.

With a slam slam, he turned his head, lifted the pig's trotters and pointed at Xia Xun's nose again, and scolded: "Are you finished? Lao Tzu's business, what are you doing?"

As he spoke, he waved his big hand and pointed at the Confucian who was fiddling with the battle formation in the distance, and then shouted: "This matter has nothing to do with Lao Tzu at all! It is an order from Mr., if you want to recruit someone to talk to you, you will find Mr! Don't fucking bother me!"

"Uh..."

was so frightened by this sudden drink that Xia Xun and Peony both shrank their necks.

Then Peony was puzzled: "Why did the gentleman do this?"

Seeing that it was Peony who asked, the knife master softened his tone and said, "You ask me, who am I asking? Didn't you just come down from the mountain? You go back and ask clearly." ”

Peony pursed her lips again, looking very innocent: "It's Mr. who asked us to ask you..."

"Tsk. ”

With a sigh, the knife master grabbed the pig's trotters and spread his hands, also looking innocent: "It's okay to ask me, I really don't know." ”

"I really don't know?" said Peony didn't believe it.

"I don't know. Master Knife nodded affirmatively.

“......”

Between the words, Xia Xun grabbed the peony's little hand without a trace. After the two of them finished talking, he whispered to Peony, "Forget it, let's not ask him." Even if he did, he wouldn't tell us..."

After speaking, without waiting for Peony to reply, Xia Xun pulled people, crossed the knife master, and left into the distance.

Watching the backs of these two little people leaving, the knife master bit down a bite of pig's trotters. After that, I couldn't help but shout sourly.

"The two young men walk slowly, no matter how fast you go, Mr. will not tell you. Don't be delusional, huh!"

The knife master said contemptuously, and Xia Xun, who was walking in front, seemed to suddenly remember something, and then stopped.

"Oh..."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. ”

Xia Xun turned around slowly, with a serious look in his eyes, looking at the knife master.

"Although I've known you for a short time, I still think you're a good person. ”

The knife master smiled proudly: "Isn't this nonsense?"

"But, I want to sue you..."

Xia Xun was very serious, with a cold face, and said slowly: "Don't ask for that evil thing anymore." Otherwise, I won't be able to use a knife against you in the future. ”

When the knife master heard this, he gradually became positive.

"Is this what your grandfather meant?"

"Nope. ”

Xia Xun's eyes condensed with a hint of determination: "This is just what I meant, and it has nothing to do with my grandfather." But no matter what my grandfather's decision is, as long as I have the opportunity and ability in the future, the first thing I will do is to bury all the graves dug up by those two seniors!"

The last three words are sonorous and powerful.

Before the words came out, there seemed to be a wind around him, and the momentum was overwhelming. When Xia Xun finished speaking, the peony next to him faintly set off a soft smile, and his little hand clenched a strength. The knife master didn't know if he could do it, and turned his head sideways in the direction of the warp building.

"Don't say these words in the future. Their methods are far more powerful than you think. ”

"I know, if you open three baryons before you start, there must be a back hand to hide. ”

"It's good that you know. ”

"But, my words, will not be taken back. ”

"Then wait until you have that strength in the future, and then talk to me. ”

"There will be a day..."

“......”
