Kaifeng is like a beautiful woman, with a beautiful heart, arrogant and high.

Since ancient times, this is a very lively, very magical place, although not big, but exquisite, there is no place in Zhongzhou can compare here.

The streets are wide and the bricks and stones are old.

There are nine streets in Kaifeng City, known as the Nine Corridors, not each of them is as wide as the street in front of you, the narrowest one can even only accommodate a carriage to pass, this one in front of you is the main road of Kaifeng.

Follow this ancient road all the way, and at the end, turn left to create a narrow road paved with fine stones, where there is a quiet place, and dozens of quiet and elegant courtyards sit side by side.

People living here are some of the most famous or powerful people in the local area, and if you want to buy a house here, either you are famous or powerful, and it is not just about being rich.

The last time Shen Wansan offered 10,000 taels to buy a house here, he was ridiculed by the landlord with a mustache.

At that time, Shen Wansan only looked at the mustache, without any expression, and listened carefully to every word in every sentence said by the landlord, and then turned around and left.

This is just a small episode, and not many people know about it.

There are three big black characters written on the gate of the fifth courtyard on the left, Drunken Crane House, there is a martial arts person living in it, it is not accurate to say that it is a martial arts person, the owner of Drunken Crane House is called Chen Tianya, and he is one of the richest people in Kaifeng City.

But his fame was not because of his money, but because of his knife.

His knife always hung around his waist, with a cyan scabbard and a blade of two feet and three inches, it was a good knife, but it was nothing special, and he was famous mainly because the knife was held in his hand.

The reason why Chen Tianya is famous is because he is Chen Tianya.

A swordsman.

The head of the Eight Heroes of Zhongzhou, a person who is very famous and powerful, and even has the opportunity to compete with Baili Chaohua for the leader of the sword path, it is so, but he is only in his early thirties this year.

Chen Tianya was born tall and large, with a carved face with distinct features, not very handsome, his long hair on the top of his head was always tied with a black hemp rope, and he always wore a wide black robe, plus black boots with gold threads.

This constitutes the person Chen Tianya?

No, when people mention Chen Tianya, the first thing that comes to mind is his crane, the white crane with a raised neck that is more than a person high, with a long and narrow beak like a sharp sword, and the people in Kaifeng City say that the crane flew down from the fairy world.

Whether it is or not, there is no way to investigate this matter, but everyone knows that Chen Tianya is a very hospitable person, as long as someone comes to visit, the visitor will not refuse, if someone is in a hurry and the hand is tight, there will be a plate to be served at the door, and a sumptuous banquet can be eaten by the way.

But in recent days, the door of the drunken crane residence has always been closed, and no one is welcome, and the people in the city, who are a little more gossipy, are speculating about what happened.

It's unreliable to guess, some say that Chen Tianya is seriously ill, but someone met him on the street yesterday, with a ruddy face and a lively life.

The drunken crane was in the center, and Chen Tianya looked at the figure in front of him who also had a knife pinned to his waist, and his mood was a little complicated.

He doesn't like fighting, although he also roamed the rivers and lakes when he was young, but after the age of twenty-five, he has been staying in Kaifeng City, and he rarely even goes out of the city, but his reputation has spread far and wide.

He often hears others talk about him, and when others talk about him, the other person they must talk about is Baili Chaohua.

People say that except for Baili Chaohua, no one in this world has more exquisite sword skills than Chen Daxia, and he just smiled at this and did not refute it, because he had never seen Baili Chaohua and had never fought with him.

It doesn't matter who has superb knife skills, because in his opinion, knives are things that kill people, and it doesn't matter if they are ugly.

At this time, that Baili Chaohua stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said with interest: "If you really want to fight, find a place where there is no one, and I can have a happy fight with you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Tianya shook his head and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency has been promoted to the realm of breaking the army, I will not humiliate myself. ”

At this moment, Baili Chaohua looked a little different from usual, without the bewitching plum blossom makeup on his face, he looked like a beautiful scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, but half a month ago, when Chen Tianya saw him for the first time, he recognized him.

At that time, although he looked a little embarrassed, as soon as he raised his head, the eyes under the tips of his forehead were as sharp as the sharpest knives in the world, and it made people feel frightened at a glance.

It was the lion's eyes.

Baili Chaohua turned his head, didn't look at him, just looked up at the clouds with gold rims on the horizon, and said: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, the last time you fought with someone, the opponent you chose was Song Mingzhe, the master of the mountain-breaking sword, and the two sides fought for half an hour to determine the winner, and in the end you only lost half a move." ”

Chen Tianya waved his hand and said: "It's different, half an hour later, Senior Song just played the sword step by step, and he didn't take out seven points for his ten-point strength, and I have already tried my best, there is nothing to compare." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were a little silent, they didn't know what to say, folding knives and picking flowers, drunken crane sword gods, these two are extremely famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, in everyone's imagination, once the two meet, they must be the kind of sympathy between top martial artists.

But I really met it, but I found that there was actually nothing to say.

"You rest first, I'll go out for some things. ”

Hearing this, Baili Chaohua nodded, watching Chen Tianya's back disappear in front of the door, gradually moving away, standing in place and not moving, at this time, another person came over.

"Where's your uncle?"

The person who came was Zhang Baoding, he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi is still feeding the crane." ”

"Oh, could it be that it really flew down from the fairy world. ”

"It's not. Zhang Baoding nodded and said: "The red-crowned white cranes in the Shuzhong area live a little older, and they can even grow to the size of a calf, this one is still small." ”

......

Chen Tianya often goes out these days, in fact, there is nothing to do, but at home, facing those three people, he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he doesn't feel troublesome, a character like him, the last thing he is afraid of is trouble.

It's just that he simply feels uncomfortable, it's embarrassing to have nothing to say, and it's embarrassing not to say a word, so he came out.

From a distance, the sunset looks like a large jade plate. A faint light sprinkled on the surface of the river, gilding Kaifeng City with a golden coat.

Chen Tianya pressed the knife and walked on the avenue of Kaifeng City very boringly, just to pass the time, a little distracted, there were people around him who kept saluting him, and he also saluted one by one, but sometimes he really didn't even see the other party's face clearly.

"You're the Drunken Crane Sword God?"

Chen Tianya nodded, smiled politely at the other party, and wanted to continue walking, and then he was suddenly stunned and looked up at the strong man who stopped in front of him.

He himself was born tall, but this man was still a whole head taller than him.

The other party's black hair was spread on his back, he was draped in a linen-colored robe, his chest was open, revealing his tough, angular muscles, and his eyes were shiny and excited.

He tried to ask, "Are you?"

"No return. ”

The tower-like man smiled and spit out these three words, his voice was not small, and the chaotic street was silent for a moment.
