Chapter 1: The Bloody Affair in Yunlan City
Yunlan City, located in Yunzhou in the south-central part of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, is also the largest city in the south, it is located on the plain at the confluence of the Lushui and Guanglin rivers.
Yunlan City is twenty miles long from east to west, twelve miles wide from north to south, covers an extremely wide area, connects Lushui in the south, reaches the Guanglin River in the north, and relies on the confluence of Lushui and Guanglin River in the west, surrounded by Lushui and Guanglin River, half of Yunlan City is equivalent to being guarded by natural danger, there are also many artificial rivers in the city, criss-crossing it, which not only makes Yunlan City not safe to be attacked by the enemy by attacking with water, but also makes the travel in the city much more convenient, every moment inside and outside the city is a scene of a thousand sails racing, lively and extraordinary.
Lushui runs through the entire human territory from west to east, and the Guanglin River originates from the south side of the middle of the Qiyun Mountain Range, and flows east along the Qiyun Mountain Range until Yunlan City flows into the Xiaobeihai from south to north.
As a transportation hub connecting the entire human race, east, west, north and south, the extremely developed trade, and the distance from the capital city is not close, it has naturally become the economic center of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, most of the world's wealthy live in this city, a large amount of money is gathered, and under the influence of many factors, Yunlan City has become the largest gold cave in the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and the luxury and extravagance of the rich people's lives can be said to have exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
In other words, it may be more vivid, the human race in the whole world has two dreams, one is to become a cultivator with a high level of cultivation and two or three times the lifespan of ordinary people, and the other is to be able to live a life of drunkenness and spending a lot of money in this Yunlan City.
The vast majority of people can't even touch the edge of these two lives, but there are a small number of people who can have both kinds of lives.
Yunlan City, Cuiyun Tower.
A young man in a soap blue suit exclaimed as he walked inside Cuiyun Building: "This is Cuiyun Building, so big, beautiful, and luxurious, this Cuiyun Building has always been an existence that my generation can only look up to, I didn't expect Wen Shao to set the celebration banquet here, let alone enjoy it here, it's worth it." ”
Walking in the middle, the young man wearing a dark green robe and a little obscene in his appearance said: "Then you can go back now that you have seen enough?" Look at your unproductive soil sample, you don't look at what Wen Shao's identity is, in addition to this Cuiyun Tower, what other place in the world can be worthy of Wen Shao?"
A person next to him continued: "That's right~~ Only this Cuiyun Building can be worthy of the identity of the above." ”
Walking in front, a handsome and extraordinary young man smiled lightly and said: "This time, Wen Shao won the third place in the Inner Gate Competition, and squeezed down all the senior brothers with their nostrils facing the sky, but it gave us a bad breath, and we will have to give Wen Shao a good celebration later." ”
A person next to the handsome young man said: "Yes, Major General Wen Cui Tianqi kicked off the ring and looked really powerful and handsome, let that kid be so stinky for a day, now the stinky fart can't get up." ”
A young man with a darker face behind him continued: "Don't say that Cui Tianqi, it's Senior Brother Yuhuan, and he can't please him under Wen Shao's hands, if you want me to see, the name of this rare genius in a hundred years should also change hands." ”
At the back of the group, a young man with a slightly stiff expression praised: "That's right, let's call Wen Shao that when we celebrate Wen Shao, I think Wen Shao will definitely be happy." ”
The lewd young man quipped: "Hey, Li Xiang, Zhao Heizi, Lu Mutou, the three of you usually pretend to be quite wooden, this will not turn your brain very fast." ”
The black-faced young man surnamed Zhao, because he was black, he was called Zhao Heizi by everyone, and he was not annoyed, but replied with a smile: "Hehe, isn't it happy, Wen Shao is rising to the sky this time, and he is one of the few masters among the younger generation of disciples of our Dragon Elephant Sect, and we can also follow suit." ”
"Hahahaha~~" This can be regarded as speaking to most people's hearts.
The handsome young man scolded with a smile: "You, you, be careful Wen Shao hears it, not only does not let you be powerful, but rewards you with chestnuts to eat." ”
The lewd young man immediately said: "Don't scare him, Wen Shao estimates that he has already indulged in Gentle Township now, where can he take care of him, let's hurry up, it's not good to tell Wen Shao to wait." ”
Someone on the side immediately said: "Liu Buding, I don't think Wen Shao is in a hurry, it's that you can't wait." ”
"Hahahaha~~"
The lewd young man surnamed Liu said hurriedly: "You don't laugh at me, I admit that I am in a hurry, so I go fast, but you are not slower than me, what do you say?"
A young man dressed as a scholar held a folding fan and smiled: "Okay, okay, everyone understands, the worst girls in this Cuiyun Building have the appearance of sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, not to mention those girls who have passed the quenching realm and can use Yuan Li to warm themselves, they all have a trace of dust, such as water hibiscus, empty valley orchid, it is even more itchy~~"
Next to the handsome young man, there was also a young man dressed as a scholar, dressed in a white Confucian shirt, and said with a red face: "Ahh ”
Feng Wucai, who was scolded, fought back: "Jia Shizhao, what do you know, I call it the pursuit of beautiful things in the world, and you don't pretend to me, saying that my mind is full of unsightly things, so what are you doing?
"You~" Jia Shizhao's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to fight back, when the handsome young man next to him stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, what's so noisy, hurry up and see Wen Shao." ”
The handsome young man was also a little prestige among the crowd, and it was not early, so the group hurriedly walked towards the box set by Wen Shao in the mouth of the crowd under the guidance of the maid.
A bright and strange bright moon hung in the sky at will, without the chaos of dark clouds, projecting all the light onto the earth, but this moonlight, but there was a hint of chill.
Yunlan City itself is a city that never sleeps, and the countless magic lamps on the corners of the streets and alleys, and the eaves of the pavilions on the roofs are illuminating each other, and the prosperous places in the city are as bright as day, not to mention the area centered on Cuiyun Tower, which is more lively at night than during the day.
"Ahh
People say that the moon is dark and kills people, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire, but when it is like broad daylight, there is a high scream full of horror in the box on the top floor of Cuiyun Tower.
The maid who led the way had been frightened and retreated to the pillar outside the door at this time, leaning on it with the only remaining strength and trembling at the same time, it made people afraid that she would fall to the ground as soon as she unloaded her own strength, of course, she had been frightened to the six gods and no master, and she had already thrown the idea of reporting to the person in charge of the building to the clouds.
The handsome young man plucked out his ears helplessly, and he, who was standing next to the maid before, took this soprano note earnestly, and sighed that the lethality was really not small, and at the same time, his brows were also wrinkled together, and his face was full of sadness.
Wen Shao in the mouth of the people, named Wen Zetao, is the grandson of Wen Jing, the great elder of the Dragon Elephant Sect, one of the seven major sects, because of this relationship, coupled with his own excellent qualifications, easy-going, and not much arrogance, so his status among the younger generation of disciples is very respected, and the outstanding disciples who entered the same period are all gathered around him.
Two days ago, in the ten-year competition of Longxiangmen, Wen Zetao squeezed out a group of senior brothers who were five to ten years earlier than them, and won the third place.
But today's Wen Zetao is no longer the high-spirited, sunny and promising Wen Zetao in his impression.
Wen Zetao's body fell to the ground, facing the broken window on the west side of the box, and the two girls who accompanied the wine also fell not far from Wen Zetao, except for the main table in the box that was dumped aside, the rest of the box remained the same.
Wen Zetao's facial expression was very terrifying, which was one of the reasons why the maid was so frightened, she was frightened.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of hideousness and horror, these two different expressions were intertwined, making the handsome young man a little unsure of how to describe it, but he could see from Wen Zetao's round eyes that Wen Zetao had faced as if it was incomprehensible and seemed to be endlessly frightened, and at the same time, there was also a trace of unwillingness to reveal, thinking of the future that Wen Zetao should have, the handsome young man couldn't help but sigh for him.
Wen Zetao's clothes didn't look too messy, he should have struggled before he died, but the magnitude was not large, like a useless struggle before he died, but this situation just explained that the fatal wound in his heart had traces of secondary injury, and the expansion of the wound also made the blood in Wen Zetao's body flow all over the ground.
There was a round of silver crescent marks under Wen Zetao's body, which was composed of very condensed ice attribute Yuan Force, and there was no sign of melting. The crescent moon also happened to include Wen Zetao's corpse, and the irregular blood that flowed out was more like blood-colored cloud patterns distributed around the silver moon, and on the whole, in addition to being bloody and miserable, there was also a perverted and strange beauty, which impacted everyone's senses, which was so shocking.
For many of the people, the corpse that fell to the ground is tantamount to the sky falling to the ground, and the so-called desirelessness and lack of desire in the cultivation is just for ordinary people, in order to maintain the image of the rhetoric, the cultivator is also a human being, and what he pursues is just to change from fame, power, and money to longevity and strong force, and change it to a better sounding and more pursuing name.
In fact, most of the time, the competition in the cultivation world is more cruel than in the world, when the pursuit of longevity and force is fruitless or there is little hope, many cultivators will also be like ordinary people in the world, and begin to chase fame and fortune, and because of high cultivation, they can occupy more resources, and if they are talented, they can be valued by the elders of the sect and most cultivators have not felt too much family relationship since childhood, and most cultivators are extremely realistic, and they are even more ruthless when competing.
These are all a small group of people who have the ability to compete for resources, and the cultivation world is also a pyramid like the world, and the people at the top are only a few after all, and most people are not even qualified to compete, and these people, in this cruel world, all they can do is to be a promising peer leader at the beginning, but after they gain power, they will get a little sweetness.
Now that Wen Zetao's corpse is here, the days of some people following Wen Zetao are not short, and it is impossible to take refuge in others, as for relying on oneself to mix up the world, it is simply delusional, so there are not many people who are sad for Wen Zetao, but those who are worried about their future way out account for the majority.
And although the handsome boy and the others were sad or regretful, their starting points were very different.
The soapy blue young man in the suit had a sad face, and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the handsome young man and a few others, Jia Shizhao and the others looked sorry, but that's all, there was no expression on the face of the last person, but there was a little puzzlement.
Only the handsome young man, in addition to a faint sadness, also had a puzzle on his face, he couldn't figure out why someone wanted to kill Wen Zetao, and chose to be in this place at this time, he didn't know if there was any connection between these, or just a coincidence.
Wen Zetao's identity is too sensitive, behind him is a faction headed by the Great Elder Wen Jing, half of the country in the Dragon Elephant Gate is in the hands of this faction, and Wen Zetao is likely to be the future successor and helmsman of this force, if Wen Zetao's death is the result of the struggle of several factions in the door, then the matter is already serious to the extent of tearing his face, and what will happen next, the handsome young man does not dare to think about it.
But if it weren't for the struggle within the door, then Wen Zetao's death would be even more unpredictable, because there can be 10,000 reasons to kill Wen Zetao, and the consequences of each one are different, but from the preliminary observation of the scene, coupled with Wen Zetao's identity, the handsome young man always has a trace of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, like a huge earth-shattering conspiracy, which slowly opened the giant curtain from Wen Zetao's body.
