Chapter 6: Red Sky

In the early morning, torrential rain poured down from the gray sky, wetting the arid land of northern Cyprus. There was no one on Weidu Avenue in Datong Town, Geng Laohan's coffin shop had not yet opened, and he and his son Xiao Mu were unloading the wet planks on the door, because according to his experience, people often die on rainy days here, and today may be a good weather for him, so the door of his coffin shop opened very early.

He is thinking about his business in the next few days, and wants to marry a daughter-in-law for his son in the local area. The woman in Datong Town is famous for her beauty, no less than Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Geng Laohan is secretly happy when he thinks of this. He was busy, and suddenly, he felt that someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, which was not trivial, and Geng Laohan hurriedly turned around to look. I saw a swordsman in a lily coat standing in the rain, dressed in a lily robe, holding a long sword, a crimson hilt, and a red silk ......

The clothed swordsman spoke, "Prepare two coffins." ”

Geng Laohan asked, "What kind of wood do you want?"

The clothed swordsman said gloomily: "To be the best, pretend to be two nobles." ”

Geng Laohan hurriedly put down the wooden board in his hand and said, "Hero, please, see what kind of coffin you want." ”

The clothed swordsman said, "No need. You just pick the best coffin and send it to General Zhou's mansion. ”

Geng Laohan exclaimed: "There are dead people in General Zhou's mansion?"

The swordsman in the cloak said coldly: "Mouthy!" After saying that, he put down the two ingots of silver and turned around and walked away, his body was extremely fast, and he disappeared into the rain in an instant.

Geng Laohan felt that this clothed swordsman was acting strangely, but when he thought of the door-to-door business, there was no reason not to do it. So, he greeted his son Xiao Mu, pulled a cart, tied two black lacquered hardwood coffins, closed the door of the store, and hurried to the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Qingcang was going to the barracks to check, put on the goose feather armor, and was about to go out with a long sword. As soon as the doorman pushed open the door, he almost fainted at the sight before him, and his wife was lying quietly in front of the door, a thin streak of blood on her neck soaked by the rain, so that the blood that had already scabbed was scattered again, and her face was poignant and haggard.

Not far away, Geng Laohan was pulling two black lacquer coffins in the torrential rain.

Zhou Qingcang roared: "Where is the traitor?

Zhou Qingcang's roar echoed in the empty street, and no one answered, but he heard a cold and resentful piano song coming from the sky, playing "Guan Shanyue". The bright moon of Guanshan, the grievances of the battlefield, and the thoughts of the soldiers are all revealed.

In a few moments, the sound of the piano is radical, and the hyun is moving. A blue light poured down from the sky, and it was the crimson hilt of the sword and the red silk that was more than an inch long......

Zhou Qingcang's heart was in pain, and his anger was unsettled, when he saw a swordsman in a lily coat attacking from mid-air, and the blade of the sword was pointing at his eyebrows with a cold light. Zhou Qingcang's anger hit his heart, his blood was surging, Hao didn't dodge, he pulled out the long sword on his waist between the lightning and the fire, and swung it to the top of his head, the strength was majestic, and the opponent's sword move was resolved with a "bang". The clothed swordsman used the power of this sword to flip a somersault in the air, and then the long sword stabbed straight into Zhou Qingcang's heart!

The speed of the swordsman in the cloth was beyond Zhou Qingcang's surprise, so he didn't dare to slack off, and poured his whole body internal force into the sword, and his twenty years of wind and rain experience were applied to today's battle. Zhou Qingcang's long sword shook, opened the offensive of the clothed swordsman, and when the clothed swordsman turned over in the air, the long sword slashed out horizontally, carrying a strong wind. Seeing that this sword was like a dragon going out to sea, the tiger roared, did not dare to take it hard, and his waist and abdomen were forced, and he floated away in the air with the melodious sound of the piano, and fell in the distance.

Zhou Qingcang was furious, refused to retreat slightly, the wind was blowing under his feet, holding the sword in both hands, and slashed towards the swordsman in the cloth with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the swordsman in the cloth did not show weakness, and the horizontal sword went up, bursting out with brilliant sparks. The sound of the piano echoes, the long swords intersect, and the sound of the rain together compose a mournful repertoire of Saibei Sigui. The swordsman's sword grew faster and faster, sometimes rushing forward and sometimes fluctuating with the music. Although Zhou Qingcang's sword style was powerful, the clothed swordsman had already gained the upper hand with his speed.

The two of them went back and forth with their long swords, and they dismantled more than 20 rounds, and the swordsman in the cloth attacked Zhou Qingcang in a row, Zhou Qingcang was anxious to return to the upper body but showed a flaw, and the swordsman in the cloth stabbed Zhou Qingcang's right shoulder and caused Zhou Qingcang to be confused, but he suddenly changed his moves, and a sword penetrated the Yanling armor and penetrated Zhou Qingcang's heart. The song "Guan Shanyue" just finished playing, the sound of the piano ended, the cold light disappeared, and the person was no longer there......

When Zhou Jinyu ran out of the house, Zhou Qingcang had already fallen in a pool of blood, his whole body soaked with blood mixed with rainwater, and his golden goose feather armor was soaked with blood. Overnight, Zhou Jinyu became a fatherless and motherless person. He fainted on the ground in front of a flower......

The Ming court sent a new deputy chief military officer, Zhou Jinyu no longer had the heart to stay nostalgic for the outside of the country, and did not want the court to appease the officials, buried his parents, took the long sword left by his father, and went to Xuanfu to go to his uncle, but he still didn't know what the origin of this snow-white, cold long sword was?

Later, Zhou Jinyu went to Xuanfu Town, although he did not find his uncle, but fortunately, his uncle was in an important position, and the people of Xuanfu Town knew that the general Yinran made the Hu people afraid to attack. Zhou Jinyu learned from his uncle's sworn brother that his uncle had been promoted to the governor of Taiyuan Town, and his family had moved to Taiyuan a few months ago. A few days ago, Zhou Jinyu's mother came to Xuanfu and did not see her uncle, she only stayed in the post house for one night, and was killed by a killer in a cloth on the way back. Zhou Jinyu didn't know what kind of grudge his family had against this clothed killer, but the hatred of killing his father was not shared, and he secretly swore not to avenge this revenge and swear not to be a man.

Yinran's sworn brother's surname is Tie Mingxiao, Tie Xiaoli can carry the tripod, and his skills are extraordinary, making a family heirloom nine-ring copper knife, and Yinran has worked together in Xuanfu Town for many years. Fighting on the battlefield, the sword is ruthless, and the two brothers have today's glory by intersecting with their lives.

When Tie Xiao learned that such a change had happened in Zhou Jinyu's family, he felt sympathy for the nineteen-year-old boy and asked, "What are your plans in the future?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Go and ask my uncle to pass me on some swordsmanship again, I have to avenge this sea of blood." ”

Tie Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to take revenge, I'm afraid optical swordsmanship can't work, this killer is a husband and wife, that man's swordsmanship is naturally good, but that woman's piano sound is breathtaking, yin qi is compelling, when the piano and sword are combined, the man's swordsmanship is several times stronger than the sword alone! Even if I join forces with your uncle, I'm afraid I won't be their opponent." ”

Zhou Jinyu asked: "There must be a way, if I don't avenge this blood sea hatred, how can a dignified seven-foot man gain a foothold in this heaven and earth?"

Tie Xiao stared at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Good ambition! Of course, there is a way, but it takes a lot of effort." Do you know what sword this man is using?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Please show the general." ”

Tie Xiao said: "In the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, led a group of brothers to revolt in Mangdang Mountain, Gaozu Liu Bang is the incarnation of the red brother, and the first emperor is the reincarnation of the White Emperor. At this time, the first emperor's vitality turned into a white snake and wanted to swallow Gaozu to prevent future troubles, but was cut into two pieces by Gaozu with a sword, the iron sword was stained with the blood of the white snake, the sword body was cold and shining, and the hilt of the sword became red, Gaozu was overjoyed, and the name of his life was called "Chixiao". The robe-clothed killer got this "Chixiao" from nowhere, and when he danced the sword, the rhythm of the magic qin aroused the resentment of the White Emperor, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to compete with it!"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Then what kind of sword can match it?"

Tie Xiao said: "Only Mo Ye !!"

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Can it be?"

Tie Xiao said: "Definitely!"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Where to find?"

Tie Xiao said: "The end of the cape!"
