The Northwest is bitter.
That year, the snow was so heavy that it almost crushed people, and even a few houses in disrepair could no longer support them, and they quietly collapsed in the seemingly endless snow.
What is amazing is that there is a cicada in such a cold day, mourning sadly.
A young couple passed through Danxia Village in a carriage, but the heavy snow blocked the road, so they could only take shelter from the wind and snow here. The husband is dressed as a scholar, gentle and elegant, and has a heart-wrenching bearing, while the wife is dressed in a plain coat, dignified and elegant, not like an ordinary family's small jasper, but like a lady from the scholar family.
The woman was still holding a baby in her arms, not crying or making a fuss, her eyes were wide and there was no impurity, and she looked at everything around her curiously.
The couple settled in an inn, the wife's face seemed to be a little tired, thinking that she was tired of riding in a carriage, after all, there was almost no stop on the way, in this snowy day, the road was far away, the road was difficult to travel, and the journey was tiring, the husband told the maid to accompany his wife to rest first, but he himself was standing in the backyard of the inn, looking at the goose feathers and heavy snow in a daze.
This snow is really big, plain white and white, just like the color of the imperial capital at this time, full of vegetarian food.
Not long ago, His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi, who reigned for 30 years, died, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the queen mother hung the curtain, the whole court shook the mountains, and the mansions of the major magnates were affected to varying degrees.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it has been the same since ancient times. Lord Shoufu and Lord Shoufu have a vicious battle in the temple has been divided, and finally the Queen Mother shot, the defeat of Lord Sufu is a foregone conclusion, and his family is deeply implicated in Lord Susuke, and now the situation is still unclear, although the Queen Mother and Lord Shoufu are not the kind of people who are ruthless and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the chaos in this court.
Duanmu family, Duanmu Ruisheng.
From the very beginning, this person wanted to make a big deal and eradicate dissidents, and his own family was the first to bear the brunt.
The man sighed faintly, this time he secretly went out of Beijing, and he didn't even bring half of the guards, so he should be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Secret Guard Mansion, right? When the snow stopped, he hurriedly went to Zhongdu to meet the old general Zhuge , and with the strength of the Northwest Army, he could always protect the two of them for a while.
It's just that before the snow stopped, there were chasing soldiers following, black wingless black yarn, black brocade official robes, black white-soled official boots, and the bright and bloodless murder knife hidden in the black sheath.
In the midst of this snow, it was shockingly dark.
When the person pulled out the knife in the scabbard, the man already knew in his heart that there was no possibility of being half good today.
A sentence of the poem, "Embroidered clothes are in the spring, and the colorful clothes are trending in the court." "The word embroidered spring was set, but the Chu people used the word embroidered spring to make the name of the garden, but the Qi people used the word embroidered spring to make the name of the knife.
What an embroidered spring knife.
It's just that in this cold and harsh winter weather, embroidery can't be spring, but it's going to embroider winter.
Under the dim sky, there is the shadow of swords and swords, and in the heavy snow, there is a little bit of blood like red plums.
When the dust settled, the inn was in shambles, men, women, and guards were nowhere to be found, except for the cries of babies who were particularly loud in the silence of winter.
There are a lot of onlookers in this scene, but who would meddle in things? I don't blame passers-by for being indifferent, but I'm afraid of getting into trouble.
Sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others.
I don't know how long later, an old horse-drawn carriage slowly drove slowly in the heavy snow.
As he passed the inn, the old servant who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage and followed the cry into the inn, and after a short time walked to the carriage with a baby in his arms.
The man in the carriage lifted the curtain, and it was an old man with a slightly withered and dignified face, he looked at the child in the old servant's arms, sighed softly, and waved his hand.
With a sincere smile on his wrinkled old face, the old servant put the child into the carriage and continued to drive the carriage on the road.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and that winter, the carriage left Danxia Village and went to a place called Xiaofang Village.
And the baby took root there.
It wasn't until ten years later that another old man came here with a sword box on his back and saw the cicada and the young boy holding it.
It's a long dream.
Xu Beiyou slowly opened his eyes, and it was no longer in Dabao'en Temple, but in an elegant house, covered with a satin blanket, obviously not an ordinary family.
A white-haired and beardless old man sat on a chair not far from the bed, Xu Beiyou glanced at it, and couldn't see the depth, but the old man's long-standing momentum could not be faked, among all the people Xu Beiyou had seen, only the Lord of the Demon Suppression Palace, Chenye, could compare, and others were slightly inferior even if they were masters Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Wuxi.
Xu Beiyou's sword box was placed on the table next to the old man, the old man stretched out two fingers and gently wiped the sword box, and thin blood lines instantly burst out on his fingers, but before the blood seeped out, it had completely healed, and said softly: "The sword qi of the immortal sword is really extraordinary, if Gongsun Zhongmou holds this sword, except for the head of the Dao Sect Qiu Ye, no one dares to say that he will win this sword sect master today." Now that the immortal has fallen into your hands, you can only hide it in the box and not groan, which is really a pearl. ā
Xu Beiyou frowned, and asked cautiously, "But the senior saved the kid?"
The old man removed his finger from the sword box and said, "The old man Zhang Baisui is 100 years old, and he saved your life on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so you don't need to thank the old man, you should thank Her Royal Highness the Princess." ā
Xu Beiyou looked shocked and asked softly: "Mr. Ping'an is 100 years old, and Her Royal Highness the princess Xiao Zhinan?"
Zhang Baisui sighed: "I even know the name of Her Royal Highness the Princess? No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to give up a great affection to the old man to save your life, to tell you the truth, if you want to ask the old man to help, even His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who is expected to inherit the unification, will also spend a lot of incense, Zhang Wuxian has asked you, just help you, but the old man is a little puzzled, why does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to save you, is it because he has fallen in love with you kid? It's just that the old man is clumsy, and he really can't see what is outstanding about you. ā
Xu Beiyou smiled lightly and laughed at himself: "I don't know why Her Royal Highness the Princess will help me so much." ā
Zhang Baisui stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the sword box, the sword box was three inches open, and a wisp of purple and cyan sword qi flew up, and was twisted between the two fingers by the old man, " The way of the sword, to the fierce to the fierce, this is the art of killing, what to say to save the sword is nonsense, although the old man does not use the sword, but I have been fortunate to see the great sword fairy Shangguan Xianchen sword, the sword thirty-six hard shake nine thunder punishment, the sword thirty-five to resist the first emperor with the general trend of the world of the Son of Heaven sword, thirty-six swords defeated the world's opponents, known as one person is half of the sword sect, if you can integrate the sword thirty-six, it is the world's first-class sword immortal, if you can one day climb to the top of the eighteenth floor, the world is invincible is not empty words. However, Sword Thirty-Six is the ultimate in swordsmanship in the world for thousands of years, and it is inclusive of thousands of atmospheres, if the old man looks down on you, it is difficult to learn Sword Thirty-six with your qualifications. ā
Zhang Baisui flicked his fingers, and the sword qi flew back into the sword box, and the sword box slowly closed.
Xu Beiyou was silent, Master Gongsun Zhongmou had already told him that he was a superior character, a medium understanding, and an inferior qualification, and he was not a great material, so Zhang Baisui's comments were both reasonable and expected.
Zhang Baisui tapped his fingers on the sword box and said: "There are a total of five swords in the sword box, Zhu Xian, Tianlan, but evil, inexplicable, Xuan Ming, I see that the two swords of Tianlan and Xie have been turned into your own use, and Zhu Xian is difficult to use, Xuan Ming is Gongsun Zhongmou's sword, the sword is excessive, only an inexplicable sword is just right, this sword is like water, impermanent, unstable, can bend and stretch, can be long or short, indescribable, so the name is inexplicable." You were beaten by the Southern Ghost Emperor and your spine was shattered, so the old man used an inexplicable sword to replace the spine and implant it in your body, barely saving your life. However, this time you are also considered to be extremely Tailai, take this opportunity to break through the first-grade realm in one fell swoop, and when you recover from your injuries, it will be a real ghost and fairy realm. ā
Zhang Baisui was not a man of many words, but it was the extreme to say so much today, and after that, he didn't say anything more, got up and left the room.
