Chapter 1: The Young Man in White
The cold wind is fierce, the snow is all over the sky, and everywhere is covered in silver, and in January Yuzhou, it has snowed like goose feathers, and the branches of the trees are pressed by the snow to squeak.
On the official road leading to Xiangyun County, a thin figure walked from a distance, dressed in white and swaying lightly in the wind, and as the figure approached, a young and pale face gradually appeared.
The young man in white coughed lightly, the paleness of his face became more and more obvious, he shook his head bitterly, took out a gourd from his waist, and poured it into his mouth a few times.
After a few breaths, the white-clothed young man's face returned to its previous pale color. Gently shaking the gourd in his hand, the young man in white muttered softly. "There's not much left of the 'burning knife', and it looks like we're going to have to rest in the town ahead!"
Not far from the young man in white, there is a small town called "Qinglong Town".
At this time, although it has reached the severe winter season, but the town is still very lively, for no other reason, Qingyang Town is the only way to Xiangyun County, after here, only near Xiangyun County, there is a place to rest, so the traders and pedestrians will come here to stay for a while.
The young man in white came to a restaurant called "Drunken Immortal Building" in the town, and the guys in the store immediately greeted him when they saw a customer coming to the door.
"Guest officer, please inside!" led the young man in white to find a vacant seat and sit down, and the guy then asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to do, the braised beef in our store is a must."
The young man in white waved his hand, interrupted the man's words and said, "Give me a pot of 'daughter red', a pound of braised beef, two side dishes, and another gourd for me to 'burn the knife'." ”
"Okay, please wait, the wine and food will be there soon!" the guy took the wine gourd from the hand of the young man in white and said with a smile.
But in a few moments, the man brought all the food and drinks.
"Guest officer, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly!" Alone poured a glass of daughter red, the young man in white took the wine glass and drank it all, he was used to drinking the burning knife like fire, he felt that the contents of the cup were as light as water, but the braised beef was really as good as Xiao Er said.
"Xiao Er, bring me the good wine and food in the store!" A rude voice came from the gate of the restaurant, and four men in different costumes walked in, led by a black-faced man with a beard on his face, looking around the store fiercely, except for the young man in white and a table of Jianghu guests carrying swords, the others lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the big man.
When the black-faced man's gaze swept over the young man in white, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he returned to his original appearance.
The four black-faced men sat down at an empty table on the left hand side of the white-clothed young man, and on the left hand side of the black-faced man was a scholar holding a folding fan, his delicate face revealing an innate arrogance.
On the right hand side of the black-faced man was a bald man of medium stature, and a scar that ran through the entire right side of his face added a bit of ferocity to the bald man. Sitting opposite the black-faced man is a man with a feminine face, with red lips and white teeth, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, and his gestures are full of charm.
If there are people who are familiar with the rivers and lakes, they will definitely know that they are the famous "Four Evils of Yunzhou", and the black-faced man is the head of the four evils, "Evil King Kong" Sun Batian.
The shopkeeper lowered his head and brought up the wine and food with some trembling, although the Jiuxianlou has been open for some years, but such a fierce and vicious guest officer, the shopkeeper still sees it for the first time.
"Guest officer, your wine and food are ready, please use it slowly!" said the shopkeeper with a little stammer.
Sun Batian waved his hand proudly, and the shopkeeper retreated with relief.
After three rounds of drinking, the bald man slammed the table and scolded angrily.
"Xiao Er, you come over to me!"
The shopkeeper walked over tremblingly, and before he could speak, the shopkeeper was grabbed by the bald man and pressed on the table.
"Believe it or not, I demolished your shop!" said the bald man, pointing to a small bug in the bowl.
"This" shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
And the young man in white who sat down on the right side saw all this clearly, this insect was clearly put in by the feminine man. Although his technique was very fast, just a flick of his fingers, he was still noticed by the young man in white.
"A few masters, please calm your anger! Little old man can't compensate you, today's table is my filial piety to you!" Hearing this, the white-bearded shopkeeper hurriedly ran out and apologized vigorously.
"What are you talking about?
After the bald man finished speaking, he stepped forward and slapped the white-bearded shopkeeper away, I don't know if it was a coincidence, the white-bearded shopkeeper happened to hit him in the direction of the white-clothed youth.
The young man in white still drank himself without hearing it, seeing that the white-bearded shopkeeper was about to crash into front of him, the white-clothed young man was still holding a wine glass in his left hand, but his right hand was raised violently, and a faint light burst out from his right hand, and the white-bearded shopkeeper only felt that his body was caught by a soft force, and his figure immediately stopped.
As soon as the whitebeard shopkeeper landed smoothly, the frightened look on his face suddenly closed, and was replaced by a vicious and hideous color. The whitebeard shopkeeper's sleeves shook, and a one-foot-long hidden blade was clenched in his hand.
The sudden change did not make the young man in white have a trace of surprise on his face, as if all this was expected by him. The head of the young man in white tilted slightly, and the left hand that held the wine glass moved forward, and the hidden blade of the whitebeard shopkeeper just pierced the wine glass.
"Do it!" Sun Batian immediately commanded everyone as soon as he saw that his deeds were revealed. The "Four Evils of Yunzhou" and the Jianghu guests at that table picked up their swords one after another and killed the white-clothed youth, it turned out that all this was a pre-arranged trap.
The first to rush to the side of the young man in white was the third child in the "Four Evils of Yunzhou", the evil scholar Mo Qianqi. As soon as Mo Qianqi opened the folding fan in his hand, a solid blade drilled out of the tip of the fan, and Mo Qianqi swept the folding fan in his hand horizontally towards the throat of the young man in white.
The young man in white was still unfazed on his face, and at some point, there was a snow-white jade flute on his right hand. The young man in white put the jade flute up and blocked Mo Qianqi's attack. "Soul Snatcher!" Mo Qianqi exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was slightly stunned, Sun Batian was the first to react, and reminded loudly at the others, "Hurry up, don't let him play the 'Soul Snatching Eight Notes'!"
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, the young man in white picked up the jade flute in his right hand, and pushed Mo Qianqi's folding fan aside, and at the same time, his feet lightly touched the ground, and the whole person rose into the air.
Wu Yuchou, the "Evil Four Niang" in the "Four Evils of Yunzhou", and Xu Biao, the second "evil monk", flew up from left to right and struck the man in white in the middle.
Looking at the swords and swords that came closely, the white-clothed young man showed a look of contempt in his eyes, only to see his hands crossed, and an egg-sized air mass appeared in his palms. Just as the sword was about to touch his body, he slammed his hands to both sides.
There was a sound of metal breaking, a knife and a sword were broken, and then looking at Xu Biao and the others, they had been knocked to the ground by both sides, a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of their mouth, and their faces turned pale.
"Not good!" Sun Batian shouted in a lost voice, and in his desperate eyes, the man in white slowly put the jade flute in his hand to his mouth and played it.
A melodious and sad sound of flute drifted throughout the restaurant, and everyone's minds became sluggish. Gradually, this sad sound began to penetrate into everyone's soul.
"Quick! use internal force to put your ears together" The black-faced man admonished while resisting hard, but before he finished speaking, his eyes gradually blurred.
The crowd was overjoyed, sorrowful, or angry, as if everyone was going through something different. At the end of the song, the young man in white slowly floated down, and at this time, except for one person on the ground, all of them bled to death.
After a long time, the shopkeeper who was hiding under the counter came back to his senses. Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore, and he ran out like crazy. At this time, the young man in white had already embarked on the road to the "Xingyue Villa".
