In Luoyang in March, the cold of winter has not disappeared, but it can no longer stop the spring color.

The season of flowers is always particularly beautiful, especially in Luoyang, especially in the season of Luoyang peony flowers.

And now Luoyang, it is the time when the peony first blooms, and the peony that blooms at the beginning is like a girl with spring, with unparalleled beauty and shyness.

However, the most beautiful thing in Luoyang is not the peony flower, but the peony person, the peony of Baihua Pavilion.

Baihua Pavilion is very lively, but today it is not lively. After all, there are only a few people who can calmly eat and drink and enjoy themselves next to the dead. What's more, this murderous demon is still sitting here dignified, and he may swing his sword to kill at any time.

The bodies are laid out here, and no one is to clean them up. Not much, only three. However, these three bodies are enough to scare most people.

The first corpse could no longer see its original face, not even tall, short, fat and thin, because it was so miserable that it was divided into several sections, and no one wanted to look at it carefully. This is enough to scare ordinary people, and the strength of the warrior is not good. It doesn't take a lot of vision, it's just that direct.

It is in strong contrast with the first one. This is the corpse of a noble son, very clean. It's so clean. There was only one wound on his body, which was a fatal wound. was pierced by someone, and there was no deviation in the slightest. The shallow wound wasn't even very torn by the clothes, and it wasn't stained with blood. If you don't look closely, you can't find the cause of death. This one is enough to scare the average master, and he can see the mysterious master of this sword. The sword is fast without blood, there is no deviation in accuracy, and the strength is restrained, and there is no trace of waste in excess places. None of those who understood the sword had the guts to stay here any longer.

The third is decent, neither as bloody as the first, nor as difficult as the second. He was still pierced through his heart by a sword, but his clothes were stained red with blood. There's nothing to praise about it, as if an ordinary swordsman did it. However, this third body is the most terrifying. No matter how terrifying the corpse is, no matter how clever the swordsmanship, there are always some people who do not believe in evil that cannot be stopped. But this third corpse can achieve this effect. It doesn't matter how you kill, what matters is the identity of this person, the number one swordsman in Jiangnan. The No. 1 swordsman in Jiangnan who has proven his strength. But he was killed here, and he used a sword. So, this person's swordsmanship is still above the number one swordsman in Jiangnan, what kind of strength is this.

The teenagers who were drinking in the corner had disappeared for some time, and only the demons were still drinking.

The evil ghost drank a glass of wine and looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was still standing there, his eyes still looking ahead, but the qin in front of him was gone, and the person who was stroking the qin was gone, and there were two other people standing in front of the shopkeeper.

Two people who just appeared. A spotless white-clothed swordsman, with a long sword, the sword is as delicate as his own, with a red sword hanging on the hilt, and a small and delicate peony hanging under the sword.

A dashing and uninhibited young man in black, armed with a single knife. The knife was born like a person, and there were some patterns engraved on the handle, which could not be seen clearly, but it was roughly a lot of peonies.

It's funny. The demon thought. He suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Are they Jing Yu and Gu Yue?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "How is it possible." ”

The white-clothed swordsman and the black-clothed swordsman didn't care about the conversation between the shopkeeper and the demon. Instead, he stared at the faint trace on the second neck of the shopkeeper, stared very carefully and seriously, and then thought.

The black-clothed swordsman thought for a long time before he said, "This is a piano injury, a very light piano injury." ”

Then he turned his gaze to the white-clothed swordsman and said, "What do you think?"

The white-clothed swordsman only glanced at the shopkeeper, then cast his eyes to the corner, looking at the evil ghost, he didn't care about this question, but still replied, "It's not a piano injury, it's a knife wound", a very plain answer, as if unintentional, and like disdain.

"He was only playing the piano, and he didn't come out of the knife, so how could it be a knife wound. ”

The black-clothed swordsman retracted his distant gaze and turned to the white-clothed swordsman, with a very flat expression, but his eyes were full of smiles, scornful smiles.

"You should know that he will always have only stab wounds under his hands, and he will be stab wounds with his sword, and he will be stab wounds with his harp, and even if he uses a stone, he will be stab wounds, and even if you don't know it, you should see why you should try me. ”

The black-clothed swordsman smiled and said, "It's like asking you, have you regressed?" ”

The white-clothed swordsman looked at the evil ghost, but said to the black-clothed swordsman: "You are very confident, you seem to be sure to win, this is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing." You will die on your pride. ”

The black-clothed swordsman touched it and said, "You think I'm going to lose?"

"Do you see how he moves?"

"Nope. ”

Do you see how he makes a move?"

"Nope. ”

"You don't know how to catch his harp, and you don't know how to catch his harp, and he hasn't used a knife yet. Since you can't take one of his moves, how can you beat him?"

"I..."The black-clothed swordsman was calm and wise in front of others, but in front of the white-clothed swordsman, he was just like a clever child.

The white-clothed swordsman said, "Moreover, he is not alone. ”

The black-clothed swordsman said, "What do you say?"

The white-clothed swordsman said, "Don't you see the guy drinking in the corner?"

Seeing the evil ghost, the black-clothed swordsman fell silent.

"His swordsmanship is no worse than that of a luthier. The white-clothed swordsman said

"Your sword is here, and his sword is nothing. The black-clothed swordsman said proudly, as if he was proud of himself. Yes, he was proud of himself. He recognized the sword in white as he recognized his own sword. He believed that the sword in white clothes matched his own sword.

The white-clothed swordsman did not speak, his eyes turned to the door again, and the black-clothed swordsman looked at the white-clothed swordsman, satisfied with what he had just said, and then said, "There are no more than five people in this world who can beat you with swords. ”

"But he must be one of five. The white-clothed swordsman said categorically.

"Whether he is sitting or walking, drinking or picking up vegetables, he is in a perfect position, flawless and invisible, and I can't find a single flaw. ”

"Except for the constant drinking, he looked too ordinary, like a common man. ”

"Don't you know that 'the big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild'? Don't you understand that 'the real is virtual, and the virtual is real'?"

The black-clothed swordsman is listening, just like a student listening to a teacher's criticism.

The shopkeeper smiled suddenly, and said, "You two, aren't you tired of talking like this? There is also a black-clothed swordsman, since he is not good at words, why do you keep talking to the swordsman?"

The white-clothed swordsman looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The person who hurt you is very strong, but I am puzzled, why didn't you die?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Obviously, someone stronger than him protected me." ”

The white-clothed swordsman looked at the evil ghost sitting and drinking, and said, "He does have this qualification. ”

After that, the white-clothed swordsman left with the black-clothed swordsman.

After the two of them left, the demon said, "That swordsman is very strong. ”

The black-clothed swordsman who had behaved poorly just now was appreciated by the evil ghost. Dian Xiaoer said: "The swordsman's sword is not bad, but he inherited his father, and that kind of mouth kung fu looks a little frivolous." ”

The demon was a little surprised, and said, "Is Jing Yu a talker?"

The shopkeeper didn't answer, and he fell into a reply. Old people always like to look back on the past, because it was their prime years, because they know that there is no hope for the future. The shopkeeper doesn't look old, but his heart is already old.

......

It's noon, and the streets of Luoyang are still very prosperous, all kinds of people, all kinds of voices, but they all have a common purpose: to enjoy flowers, and in Luoyang, flower appreciation means to enjoy peony flowers.

"The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond is pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the capital is moved when it blooms. ”

The peony is charming, the hibiscus is thin, only the peony is glamorous but not demonic, clear but not cold; so spring must not come to Luoyang, come to Luoyang must not appreciate the peony. However, just now, the people who enjoy the flowers suddenly forgot to enjoy the flowers, and perhaps no matter how beautiful and agile the flowers are, they are not as good as people.

Peony walks on the street, like a butterfly flying over a beehive, making the already noisy street even more noisy, even a little restless, all kinds of praise looming, flickering far and near, and the praise is mixed with shouts.

At this moment, the faces of several men were already red, not because they were shy, but because there was already a woman beside them, and some of the men's ears were pricked up, not because they listened carefully, but because they had an extra hand on their ears, and this hand belonged to a woman and a lover. The most powerful weapon in the world is not a knife, not a sword, not any kind of weapon, but love, the most hurtful than love, and it is also the best defense.

Luoyang is a peony, "the flower spectrum will be the first theory, Luoyang is the most multiplied." ”

In previous years, the peony flower meeting was held between the eight scenes of Luoyang, but this year, the peony dock was selected alone, because the real peony is here.

Peony Dock is located in the suburbs of Luoyang, south of Luoshui, north of Pi Mountain, east to listen to the roar of Longmen, west to hear the sound of white horses, close to the wonder of Tianjin, far to see the prosperity of peace.

The peony in the dock is listed, the purple and red, the beauty is beautiful, there is a platform in the dock, it is the peony platform, there is a pavilion on the platform, it is the peony pavilion.

The diameter of the peony pavilion is five meters long, there is a white jade table in the pavilion, there is a green long stone bench on each side of the stone table, sit on the stool, follow the eye, the stone platform is like the jade plate on the table, it rises abruptly, the four corners of the stone platform are carved with the yellow lion, squatting and lying to nourish the spirit.

There are white tigers carved on the left and right of the stairs in front of the stage, ready to go; from the platform down, there is a flat ground in the middle that is hundreds of meters wide, surrounded by a stone platform; the two sides of the flat ground are small buildings and fine gardens, separated by streams.

There is a gentle slope under the flat land, the flowers and plants on the slope are extremely abundant, and there are occasional small trees; among the various flowers, the peony is the most beautiful; the peony is seven colors, and the red is the most eye-catching.

There are three paths in the flowers, meandering, disappearing in the peony garden, and the eye can see this, although there are only hundreds of zhang, but it stretches for thousands of miles.

The peony garden is several miles wide, in which the flowers and trees are undulating, the stream is faint, the occasional waterfall pours, like white jade inlaid on the splendid scenery, and several buildings are dotted, like birds hiding among the leaves.

There is a small lake in the depths of the garden, the radius is 100 zhang, there is also a pavilion in the lake, the pavilion is carved with colorful peonies, its petals are clearly outlined, although it is several miles away, but it is like looking down on the coffee table on the table.

Outside the peony garden, the flowers and plants are thinning, and then passing, you can see a line of fences, and here is close to the city tower.

There are vague figures upstairs, but there is a lot of traffic downstairs, and there are many figures; among them, the most are handsome young men and merry boys, shuttling on horseback; there are also heroic knights, swords and swords, walking alone; and there are also wealthy businessmen and non-commissioned officers crowding by.

Although these people are different, they are all out of the city, and they all go to one place: Peony Dock!

There are three main roads leading to the outside of Peony Dock.

The middle road passes through the center of the lake, the sheep intestine extends, the most beautiful; this road is specially greeted by the rich businessmen and officials, the entrance is wide, the sedan car can be parked, the greeter is the white-clothed Xiushi, and a pavilion is set up in 100 meters, and there are two people to greet each other.

The right road passes by the lake, the big twists and turns, it is also quite beautiful, this road greets the heroic son, the entrance is also wider, the foal can be parked, and the greeter is the green-clothed swordsman.

The left road is set up according to the periphery of the garden, steep and tortuous, there are occasional wonders, this road greets the layman passerby, the entrance is not more than zhang, only two Tsing Yi slaves are waiting for each other, there is a pavilion every two miles. Among the three roads, the left road has a poor view and humble pedestrians, but the number of people is the largest, so the intersection is congested and the road is complicated.

The hour is about to pass, and there are already many people under the peony stage, not to mention two or three thousand people, including no less than five hundred guests, and most of the entourage stands under the stage to maintain discipline.

Pink walls, pink eaves, white windows, green fences, very ordinary colors, but together they are so beautiful, like a beautiful dress, like a girl in a dress, like a red apricot in the girl's hand.

Among the guests, some of them sat at the table on the stage, and the others only watched from the audience, and there were also tables under the stage, and there were also drinks and food on the table. Although the whole flower party has a large number of people, it can cover all aspects, and although the pomp and circumstance are large, they are also orderly.

As soon as the hour arrived, the firecrackers at the four corners of the peony platform rang out at the same time.

The organizer was sitting at the white jade table, but he had already stood up at this time, and when the sound of the cannon died down, he said loudly: "Today is the first day of the peony flower fair. ”

Speaking of this, he was already a little excited, and then walked from the pavilion to the stage, and then said: "The contemptible people are not talented, but there are three daughters, the appearance is acceptable, a little talented, a little swordsmanship; ”

.......

Not to mention the lively here, just say that its evil ghosts and shopkeepers also came here.

The shopkeeper looked at such a lively scene and said, "It's really lively." ”

The demon said, "Would you like to go in and have a look?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That's it, aren't you going to go to Gu Yue to compare swords with Jing Yu?"

The evil ghost smiled abruptly: "No, it's a sword comparison with Jing Yu and a sword comparison with Gu Yue." ”

As he spoke, the demon burst out laughing, very heartily. Compare swords with swordsmen, compare swords with swordsmen, and he thinks about it. [.]
