Chapter 1: Chihiro
Chihiro, once a fortress, is now a border city.
Ten years, the Yanqin beacon fire was temporarily extinguished, and the border people who had suffered from the war finally had a temporary recuperation.
Scars can still be seen on the high walls of the Black Stone, which are the wounds of the war. Hatred can be gone, injuries can be peaceful, but history is indelible.
The only thing that is intact is the city gate, which is poured in bronze and is very strong. At this moment, Tong Fei was standing under the city gate, and beside him was a woman with a hat covering her face.
Waiting in line is because there are rules for paying taxes when entering the city. The three eldest sons are nothing to the rich, but for the homeless and the poor, they can manage the money for a meal, and in Qianxun City, buy two flatbreads and a bowl of spicy soup, which is the daily food of the homeless.
"Hey, you, come here, that's you!
The guard unfolded a picture scroll and beckoned to the woman beside Tong Fei: "Take off your hat and let me see it." ”
It seems a little unreasonable to ask a woman to take off the hat, but the woman wearing the hat did not refuse, and she took off the hat. Under the hat, there is an extremely ordinary middle-aged woman's face, and it is very clear to see the traces left by the vicissitudes of time on this woman's face.
But when the guard looked into the woman's eyes, he was immediately frightened by her fierce gaze. Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that only a master of cultivation can have such a vision. The guard immediately gave a smile, "Say it, I'm sorry! please!" and then let the woman pass with a smile. In this way, Tong Fei followed the woman into the city. This is Tong Fei's first time in Qianxun City. It is also the last time to experience human suffering in the next ten years. Many years later, when he recalled the scene, the impression was still clear.
At this moment, Tong Fei was standing alone at the city gate, while the woman with the hat had already walked away quickly. Tong Fei was alone, staying near the city gate, and he noticed that there was a picture scroll pasted on the city wall, on which the words "Reward the Witch and the Thousand Poisonous Girls" were clearly written. Men in twos and threes watched around. The woman was extremely beautiful, and at first glance she looked like the daughter of a wealthy family......
Tong Fei sneered faintly, did not squeeze forward, but found a passer-by to ask for the address of the pharmacy in the city, and then walked towards the city street.
Xunxian Lou is the only inn and wine shop in the city, the business is not prosperous, but there is a constant flow of people, whether the dealer walks or the businessman, they all like to rest here.
But today, Xunxian Building is full. The people who came had their temples bulging high, not smiling, but their eyes were full of light, murderous, and they were martial arts masters and high-rollers at first glance.
If you want to ask why there are so many rivers and lakes in the city, I am afraid it has something to do with the posters in front of the city gate. The poster was posted by the city lord, and the reward was a famous female devil on the rivers and lakes. It is said that this thousand poisonous women threatened to kill the city lord Wei Wuji, and the date was set, on the 15th day of August! That is, tomorrow, the news spread in the city, and the city lord even made a special reward, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes came for the reward.
Who is the Thousand Poisonous Woman, so violent, she actually dared to come to kill the city lord, and she set a date, which means that she must be killed, no matter what, it is a little rampant.
Although Wei Wuji is the newly appointed city lord, he is the son-in-law of the famous General Mu in Qianxun City, not to mention his ability, as far as the eight hundred iron guards in General Mu's mansion are all brave warriors. Back then, General Mu Lao led 800 iron guards to guard Xiongguan, and one man was the pass. Although the Qin army was a million, Ren did not kill it.
After the war, King Yan named General Mu as the lord of the city, but he was old, so he passed the lord of the city to his son-in-law.
For the people in the city, they don't know who the Thousand Poison Girl is, but no one in the city doesn't know the city lord. Not to mention anything else, those 800 brave are in the eyes of mortals, and all of them are martial arts masters.
Mo Ti is eight hundred brave, and there are not a few masters of the rivers and lakes gathered in the Xian Tower, and I heard that the city lord of Wei also invited the immortals in the immortal gate, and he guarded in the city lord's mansion, this posture, this is obviously waiting for the thousand poisonous women to come.
With so many people dealing with a thousand poisonous women, even if a thousand poisonous women are not idle, I'm afraid they have to be afraid of three points.
Who is the Thousand Poison Girl, and how did she make such a big move?
Only the City Lord's Mansion knows about this, but there is still no impermeable wall, and someone has spread the news that the Thousand Poison Girl is the remnant of the Demon Gate, and the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect of the Demon Gate that was exterminated twenty years ago is said to be the grandfather of the Thousand Poison Girl.
Lin Yuanbai, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, was a sensational figure twenty years ago. It is said that he used 800 live babies to refine poison, and for the sake of harming the world, he was destroyed by King Yan and more than a dozen city lords, united with the immortals of Xianmen. Its strength is certainly extraordinary.
The remnant of the Thousand Poisonous Girl, I don't know where I learned my skills. In the last ten years, revenge and murder have been sought everywhere. I heard that the witch kills people without blinking, and treats human life as a mustard, all those who besieged the Wanhua Poison Sect back then, none of them have a good end, once they are found out, it is the whole family is poisoned, and the chickens and dogs are not left!
The whole family is poisoned, but the chickens and dogs are not left! This is the world like this, and rumors are always more frightening than facts.
It's no wonder that the Lord of Wei City has made such a big move, saying that it is to eliminate harm for the people, I am afraid that everyone knows that the Lord of Wei City is afraid!
The city lord sent a bounty list, and all the knights who participated in the demon slaying were counted as one, and they were all paid. If anyone kills a thousand poisonous women, he will have made a meritorious contribution and can be directly named a general.
In the border city, in addition to the city lord, there are only a few generals. There are a few martial arts heroes in the mortal world who are not famous for profit, and can be a general, which is a great creation.
As a result, people from the rivers and lakes flocked to the building, and the atmosphere in the Xian Hunt Building was particularly lively. In response to the old saying, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
Not to mention that the people in the rivers and lakes are angry and ready to fight, in fact, none of them have seen a thousand poisonous women, and I am afraid that what they have seen has already become a dead corpse. In fact, they didn't know that the Thousand Poisonous Girl had already quietly come to the city, and it was by their side. The real name of the Thousand Poison Girl is Lin Yutong, and there are few people in this world who can know her real name.
Tong Fei is one of them, and he has been with a thousand poisonous girls for several years, going south and north, getting along day and night.
However, Tong Fei didn't know martial arts at all, not because he didn't learn, but because he couldn't cultivate. Because he is a man whose spiritual roots have been abolished. Tong Fei has been with Lin Yutong since he was three years old, and they are neither related nor related, but since they met, they have been together. Now Tong Fei is eight years old, short and thin, with a yellow face, carrying a burden of animal skins, wearing a leather hat sewn by himself, a dagger tied to his waist, and walking a little staggering, looking no different from the children of the Orion family in the nearby mountains.
Originally, the Thousand Poison Girl asked Tong Fei to stay in the mountain temple outside the city to wait for her, but Tong Fei followed, he came to the city not for anything else, naturally to find medicine.
Ever since Tong Fei learned that he was a spiritual root that had been abolished, he had been looking for a cure for himself. Lin Yutong said that his injuries are difficult to heal unless a miracle occurs. In other words, he is destined to become a waste man in this life. Perhaps because of pity, Lin Yutong has been taking Tong Fei with him. Now he is rushing to the city, but for one purpose, that is, to find a pharmacy to buy medicine, over the years, everywhere he goes, Tong Fei will inevitably go to the pharmacy. Since looking for a good prescription, I have learned to dispense medicine. On the opposite side of Xunxian Building, there is a three-storefront pharmacy called "Tonghuan Pharmacy".
Tong Fei inquired, in addition to buying medicine, there is also an old doctor in this pharmacy. So he didn't go to the inn or the wine shop, but came alone to have a good time.
