At dusk, the sky suddenly turns overcast, and the dark clouds are oppressive.

Feeling the dimness of the light outside the window, Xia Ren, who was sitting on a bamboo chair and feeling the internal force, slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, there is a slight Sanskrit sound coming from the copper coin, and these vibrations will occur every few minutes, but it will never be noticed by the person who wears the copper coin.

Xia Ren rubbed this seemingly ordinary square coin, and wonderfully felt the four vibration sources slowly gather towards a certain direction in Red Leaf City.

It must have been the other members of the Winter Society who were indicating their location, and the place where they gathered should have been Pile Stone Alley.

However, there were five people before, but this time there were only four, Xia Ren frowned, could it be that the entire Winter Association and himself were only five or six people?

As soon as I pushed the window, the rain fell in like particles with the cold wind.

Outside, the light had completely disappeared.

Xia Ren put on a rain hat, slowly walked out of the house, and closed the two doors tightly with his backhand.

He pressed the brim of his hat and walked out of the gate of Xia's house.

Although Momiji Castle is closed to the outside world at night, and the gates are closed every day after dark, there are no restrictions on the inside of the city.

Not only that, but it is very lively at night, the light boat painting boat in Baihong Lake, the sound of flute and piano in the west of Huxi, and the noise of restaurants are common.

Occupying the advantage of the east of the lake, the disciples of the Xia family would sometimes even go down the river from the east of the lake in a light boat to the fireworks area west of the lake.

It's just that on such a rainy day, even the most lively place will become deserted.

What's more, it was originally a bleak and cold pile stone alley.

"Whew... Whew..."

There was a sound of sleeping snoring at the entrance of the alley.

Xia Ren looked up, but saw a down-and-out man with a bearded face holding a bamboo cane leaning against the eaves of the hut at the entrance of the alley, and a huge wine gourd was placed on the broken tile floor beside him, the gourd was old and shiny, and it was glowing with some greasy color.

"This is Pile Alley. Xia Ren felt the vibration of the copper coin transmitted from his waist, and the other four people had obviously gathered in this alley.

So...

Xia Ren narrowed his eyes, and his fingers swung around the copper coin in front of the scumbag man.

As if he had seen the token, the scumbag man smashed his mouth and moved it slightly, as if he had turned over in a dream.

The bamboo cane he was holding in his hand also fell to the other side, just making way for one person to walk.

This doorman has a lot of personality.

Xia Ren was happy, and without saying much, he stepped into the pile stone alley.

The alley was very deep, and the originally dim light disappeared here, and two right-angled bends along the road were turned, and a faint yellow light was lit not far away.

It was a silver candle surrounded by a thick gauze lampshade to keep out the wind.

The lights spread out in all directions, illuminating two jugs of wine, a wind goose, and a few plates of peanuts on the round table.

At the round table, three men and one woman are facing the alley.

Seeing Xia Ren appear, one of the thin men made a gesture of please, clenching his fists.

After sitting down, the five of them had no intention of being unfamiliar.

Generally, people who are separated from each other naturally know each other, and at worst they are nodding friends.

It is precisely because they are familiar with each other that they all know each other's hatred for the Zong family, and this hatred is rooted in their hearts since childhood, and it will not be weakened.

In the meantime, a thin and handsome man named Xia Cheng had already practiced the second-rate technique snake coil gun to perfection, and added his own insights to it, becoming more unpredictable.

He hated the Zong family, especially the second elder, for ulterior reasons.

It is said that as long as someone dares to mention the word "two" in front of him in the battle, he will be irrepressibly in a state of rage, galloping in a peerless manner.

Therefore, he has the title of "Crazy White Snake" in the rivers and lakes, although he only shows one-third of his strength.

--

The muscular silent man was named Xia Qingyi, and he was carrying a thick-backed fine iron knife with a unique shape behind his back.

The blade is thin in front and thick in the back, and there is no edge at the top of the blade.

It is said that he practiced the second-rate technique "Mountain Shaking Hammer Method" given by the sect.

The person who bestowed it with the patriarch said only one sentence in the qualification test: "Can be a blacksmith." ”

This sentence dealt a critical blow to Xia Qingyi, who aspired to become a hero in the rivers and lakes, and caused great damage to his young heart at the age of thirteen.

His dreams were shattered.

But Xia Qingyi was unwilling, he didn't like iron hammers, so he stubbornly cultivated a hammer method into a knife method, and the knife method he used was unheard of by others, and it often had unexpected effects.

In addition, he is tall and has strange powers, and he has been nicknamed "Mountain Shaking Knife" on the rivers and lakes.

The man with a gloomy face was named Xia Liu, and as soon as this name came out, Xia Ren was also moved.

It is said that this name was given by the clan as punishment for his father, and the name of Xia Ryu has always been with him since he was a child, and the hatred accumulated is immeasurable.

The third-rate technique he was given by the Zong family was called "Little Sheep Flying Knife", and it is said that a chivalrous man surnamed Yang was fortunate enough to see the legendary master surnamed Li make a move, and created his own technique.

It's just that the effect is very average, although the move looks cool, but it has nothing to do with the example.

Luckily, the lamb throws knives but at least the accuracy is guaranteed...

But such a third-rate technique was forcibly practiced to perfection by Xia Liu three years ago.

It is reported that in the past three years, he has deduced a new flying knife technique "Xiao Xia Flying Knife" by himself, but no one has seen it, or the people who have seen it are no longer alive.

The innocent woman in the Tsing Yi black short skirt is naturally Xia Ying, she has seen it before, she has a stainless steel thin sword obliquely around her waist, it is said that the white frost swordsmanship has reached the seventh layer, and in order to hide her qualifications, she only uses the fourth layer.

As a technique that can barely be included in the first-class white frost sword technique, it can be regarded as a representative sword technique of the Xia family sect in Red Leaf City.

Xia Ying doesn't have a backstage of the sect, and it's really intriguing why she was able to get such a book of swordsmanship in the qualification test.

But no one knows what the truth is.

The White Frost Sword Technique has a strong systematic characteristic, and the twenty-eight sword moves include almost all the sword movements, which can be regarded as a comprehensive technique in one of the sword techniques.

The technique exercises are usually divided into nine layers and one perfection, which are distinguished by the number of tricks mastered.

For the white frost swordsmanship, every three moves are a layer, if you fail to master the previous layer, you will definitely not be able to step into the next step, even if you force yourself to enter, it is just a parrot, will not understand its shape, not to mention the variables of the next move, etc.

And Xia Ying has now understood the twenty-first move, and she can step into the eighth layer in just one step.

It's a pity that in terms of mental methods, she didn't get any exercises from the sect family, and only got the opportunity to practice after joining the Winter Society.
