Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing in the Border Town
A sea of grass.
The sea is a unique name for the land of Yunnan and Yunnan. The sea here is not a rough sea. The sea here is mostly a meadow land. Even a place like Erhai Lake, where there is real water, is just an inner lake.
There is also a large meadow in the sea of grass. There is also a town of considerable size. The sea of grass is not only talking about the big meadow, but also the town of this size.
For the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Qingcaohai is a border town.
After passing the sea of green grass, it can be regarded as officially entering the land of Yundian.
Diancang is in the land of Yundian.
Over the sea of grass, into the clouds, on the point of the blue. This is the route that Dugu Feiyun is going to take.
The sea of grass in the past two days has been very lively, very lively, very lively.
All the inns, inns, and lodges in the town were full. Even the Qinglou was rounded up by those high-rollers who couldn't find a place to stay because they came a little late.
All the restaurants, restaurants, pubs and tea houses in the town are full. Locals who are more bold and shrewd simply dig out tea cakes from their homes that have been left for an unknown number of years, make tea, and take out some snacks of their own to entertain people who have nowhere to stay. One is to earn some household income, and the other is to listen to the guests talk about new things that are unlikely to be heard from the neighbors on weekdays.
Because, in the past two days, most of the people who have poured here in the past two days, whether they have come from afar or from nearby, are Jianghu people. Jianghu people with swords on their backs.
Today's sea of grass is especially lively. In the midst of the excitement, there is also a wave of excitement and nervousness.
Because, the front is coming, and the Taibai Sword God is coming soon.
Because, the main street that leads directly to the entrance of the Green Grass Sea has been cleared by the six major gates.
As a famous and decent family, the six major schools clean the street, naturally it will not be the kind of clean street where people kill people and dogs kill dogs. The six major gates are clean streets, and the shops on both sides of the street can still be opened. People who live on both sides of the street can also open their doors to bask in the sun, eat melon seeds, and brag about their skins.
The Six Great Sects just sent their disciples from door to door to remind them very politely, whether it is the residents and merchants here, or the merchants and guests who pass by, try not to walk around this street in the next period of time, so as not to cause accidental injury.
Because, the six major sects want to seek justice from the people of the four major sword sects who died unjustly under the sword of Dugu Feiyun here, and seek an explanation for the righteous path of martial arts and the justice of the rivers and lakes.
The Six Great Sects also said that because this incident may cause some inconvenience, fright, and losses to the residents and businesses along the street, the Six Great Sects will definitely compensate all the residents and businesses on this street afterwards.
Moreover, in fact, the disciples of the six major sects had already paid some compensation silver taels when they came to remind them. These compensation taels paid in advance have exceeded the income of most merchants in a whole day.
The six major sects are so polite, and the six major sects are for the righteous path of martial arts and the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and the six major sects also gave everyone silver, and the residents and merchants on both sides of this street naturally have no reason to cause chaos for the four major sword sects. As for those Jianghu people, not everyone is like Dugu Feiyun, who can afford to provoke the six major sects.
So, the street is quiet now.
All the houses and businesses on both sides of the street are not closed. Everywhere you can sit, it's full of people. Those who have no place to sit, just stand. Everyone was waiting eagerly for the arrival of the three-headed and six-armed Taibai Sword God.
In the middle of the street is a group of people who are black and black. A large number of people who want to establish justice for Wulin and justice for the rivers and lakes.
At the forefront, of course, are the people of the six major sects. In addition to Ning Feizhou, Zuo Lengfeng, Bian Zhanyun, Huang Kun, Xuan Zhenzi, Tian Sanqi and other people from the six major sects who had appeared in Songjiaao before, there were many more people in this group. There were also several old men among them. An old man who is much older than Wen Bing and others, and is too old to speak.
Song Tianzhen, Yu Bufan, and Lan Feiling are all full-body vegetarians. In addition to the three of them, among this group of people, there are several middle-aged and young people who are all vegetarian, and even a few women and children. It seems that they should be the family members or disciples of Qu Zhuoyuan or the second elder Kongtong.
All the rest of the six major sects, except for those few old men who were too old to speak, including Ning Feizhou and the other six major masters, were all dressed in plain clothes. Each of them had a black veil tied to his left arm.
Although the old men were not dressed in plain clothes and tied in black gauze, they were all dressed in dark clothes of linen, kudzu, gray, or blue.
As soon as such a group of people stood in the middle of the street, a sense of pathos immediately spread, arousing all the onlookers on both sides of the street to feel that even coughing loudly would be disrespectful.
Behind the people of the Six Great Sects, there were still dozens of people standing. These men all had serious faces and were armed with various blades. They are also from famous and decent families. Most of them are inextricably linked to the Six Great Sects. Some of them spontaneously stood with the people of the six major sects for the sake of martial arts, for the rivers and lakes, for justice, and for justice.
Among the onlookers on both sides of the street, there are also many famous and decent people. The reason why they didn't stand in the middle of the street with the people of the six major sects was that they were proud of their status, or they planned to wait and see first.
There is too much news on the rivers and lakes during this time, and it is too shocking. The news that came out in the past two days was also a little confusing.
The news from the Four Great Sword Sects, the Kunlun Sect, and the Vientiane Sect is naturally not suspicious. After all, they have always been the righteous path of martial arts in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the bodies of Qu Zhuoyuan and the second elder Kongtong are not fake. The person who killed the older generation of masters of the Four Great Sword Sects naturally couldn't be a decent family. What's more, Dugu Feiyun was short-lived back then, although he stopped at Wudang, but his practice of sweeping all the way through the seven provinces in the north of the Central Plains was deeply disliked by the righteous path of martial arts.
However, there is another statement that cannot help but make people think deeply.
Could it be that the Four Great Sword Sects really slaughtered the Song family and framed those who knew about it just to cover up the things that the Four Great Junyan were greedy for?
Although the vast majority of people on the righteous path do not want to believe this emotionally, this statement is not entirely implausible. When the four great junyan tried their moves with Dugu Feiyun, they used the Wind Breaking Sword Formation, and they couldn't fake it. And among the few major events done by the four great heroes, it seems that no one has heard of the whereabouts of those belongings.
At this moment, most of the eyes looking at the center of the street fell on Yu Bufan, Chen Yuqing, Zhang Zhongchun and Lan Feiling. Among these eyes, there is no lack of sympathy, questioning, regret, and even some schadenfreude.
Yu Bufan was dressed in linen and filial piety, standing in the crowd in the middle of the street, his face expressionless.
Lan Feiling was also dressed in linen and filial piety, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was haggard, and he looked too sad in the past two days.
The expressions of Chen Yuqing and Zhang Zhongchun were more angry. Looking at their appearance, it seems that if Dugu Feiyun appears, they will go up and bite it, and they will also bite off a piece of Dugu Feiyun's flesh.
On the street, there is also a group of people, which is very eye-catching.
They are the Six Doors people.
The news that the six major sects wanted to fight the Taibai Sword God not only attracted the people in the rivers and lakes within a radius of hundreds of miles, but also alarmed the six gate people along the way.
The six door people who can be drawn out have all gathered in the sea of grass.
There are not a lot of people. Dozens of people only. The other six door people couldn't get out of it at all.
After the occurrence of those big cases, especially after those shocking news came out, the rivers and lakes in the southwest have already become a pot of porridge. Although there are not many tragic incidents similar to the bloody case of Songjiaao, murders, murders, and disappearances occur from time to time. As for private fights, there are several cases every day.
The six doors along the way have long been exhausted.
The dozens of people who were transferred to Grass Town were already the maximum force that the six doors along the way could vacate.
These dozens of people, although they all belong to the Six Gates, are not from the same place. Many of them don't even know each other at all. The only thing that can let them know who they are in the same class is their uniform clothing and waist tags.
The expressions of each of them were also very serious.
They knew that since the six major sects had already put up such a battle, today's disaster was not trivial.
A famous and decent sect like the Six Great Sects may usually save some face for the Six Gates, but in a battle like today, they are unlikely to be afraid of the Six Gates. At least, before seeking justice from Dugu Feiyun, they wouldn't care too much about the presence of the people from the Six Gates.
In fact, the highest-ranking person in this group of six sects had tried to negotiate with the heads of the six major sects. But the people of the six major sects just used their eyes to block all the words he wanted to say in their throats.
The people of the Six Gates only hoped that Dugu Feiyun would be able to make a detour after learning about the situation here in the Green Grass Sea.
But the people of the Six Gates also knew that it was unlikely that Dugu Feiyun would make a detour.
If Dugu Feiyun would make a detour, why would he say that he would abolish the masters of the six major sects? If Dugu Feiyun would make a detour, would he still be the Taibai Sword God? If Dugu Feiyun would make a detour, would he still be the queen of the Sword Demon?
Time passes by moment by moment.
The atmosphere of the sea of grass became heavier and heavier, more and more solemn.
Those who had been whispering before stopped talking. In the teahouse, the guys who poured tea and water for the guests relaxed their steps. The people who knocked the melon seeds quietly put down the melon seeds in their hands. In a shop facing the street, a doll had just cried, and his mother quickly covered his mouth gently and carried the doll into the back room in a panic.
A flock of migratory birds flying south from afar towards the sea of grass. When he was about to fly over the grassy sea, the leading bird turned around and took the flock of birds around in a hurry.
The sea of grass is full of people, and there is a dead silence.
