Chapter 1: Killing in the Night
Winter solstice, Zhenbei Wangfu.
"Yun'er slipped out to play again? Did you send someone to follow?" The person who said this was Xiao Pingnan, the first person in the North Wangfu of Nanli Chaozhen. At this time, he was drinking tea in the palace hall. There was an old man waiting next to him, housekeeper Wang Tong, "Old Chen secretly followed, Lord Wang, others don't know the martial arts of the Second Highness, but we know very well, except for those old guys who don't care about their faces, the Second Highness should be worry-free." ”
"In recent years, the imperial court has asked me to extinguish the sharp spirit of the Jianghu sect, and also destroyed some disobedient sects, but there are still some remnants, although they can't turn up any storms, they still have to be careful" When it came to the remnants, Xiao Pingnan's face was full of murder.
Wang Tong happened to pour tea for Xiao Pingnan at this time, "Your Highness is on the border between Nanli and North Vietnam, there are heavy troops stationed there, and there are also masters in the army to protect you, so it is still relatively safe." The Second Highness has a stubborn temperament and prefers to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but it is just to prevent some young people from making a fuss about this matter and targeting the Second Highness. After all, the enemy is bright and I am dark, so it's better to be careful. ”
Xiao Pingnan put down the teacup and said: "After Mu Shan went to the border, he became more and more stable, and he was relatively upright, and now he has made many contributions at the border. Although Mu Yun is more talented in martial arts, he is stubborn and lacks experience. The two boys are quite angry, otherwise how can they be worthy of their mother" Xiao Pingnan, who has always been more dignified, finally showed a little relief when talking about his family.
"Madame has been in a coma since that incident sixteen years ago. At that time, Doctor Wang of the Tai Hospital said that to save his wife, he needed the main medicine, the thousand-year-old snow lotus. However, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is too cold, and it needs to be adjusted by cold-sheltering grass. And this adjustment process must be reconciled by a martial arts master using internal forces, and the whole process takes seven days. In this, the thousand-year-old snow lotus has not been heard of for decades. And the internal force that continues for seven days is almost something that can only be done by a master of the Void Realm. And it will be weak for a while before it can recover, in today's rivers and lakes, which virtual realm will make him so weak? Alas!" Xiao Pingnan thought of the woman lying in the crystal coffin in the secret room, feeling sad and self-blaming, but more of it was missing.
Linyun Pavilion, the tallest building in the capital and the largest restaurant, faces the river on three sides, with a total of nine floors, the ninth floor is never open, and there are no stairs from the eighth to the ninth floor. It is said that since the completion of the ninth floor, the people who can climb the ninth floor can be counted on one hand, the reason is unknown, but whether it is a martial arts master or a thief and a thief to go openly and secretly, there is no return, there is no bottom, and the reason why the people of the rivers and lakes are flocking to it is that the ninth layer is said to have a treasure map of the relics of the previous dynasty and the famous stunt of Mo Jiuxu, the first person in the virtual realm sixty years ago. From one to eight floors why open a restaurant that only the owner here knows, one to eight floors, one layer is more expensive than the first floor, one layer is more luxurious than the first floor, but the seventh floor is an exception, go elegant style, and equipped with pen, ink and paper research, guests can leave ink treasure here, if it can be hung on the wall after three days of Linyun Pavilion audit, so far there are only four words on the wall. Therefore, most of the upper layers are literati and writers such as kings and grandsons, nobles or celebrities, while the lower layers are people from the three religions and nine streams and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
"Brother Mu Yun, the night view on the eighth floor of this Linyun Pavilion is not bad, let's go to the Linjiang River on the river to overlook the boat shop in a while, listen to the song, and drink a little wine, how about it?" In a private room by the window on the eighth floor of Linyun Pavilion, a man in a brocade suit said to a man in a fancy suit, the man in a fancy suit put down his wine glass and withdrew his gaze from the window, "Chen Hua, I sneaked out this time, and the personal guard only brought one, and besides, my father should have already sent someone to find me, so I won't go." Tonight, in addition to the moon is very round, the river wind is also very strong. After speaking, his eyes continued to look out the window. The man in the Chinese costume is naturally Xiao Muyun, and the man in the brocade suit is the third son of the current Prime Minister Chen Heng, Chen Hua. Because the two like to see and hear in the rivers and lakes, and they smell the same, they often travel together, and agree with each other to explore the rivers and lakes in the future. Meet the heroes and fairies. When the wind rises, and the night is dark and kills.
On the official road from Linyun Pavilion to King Xiao's Mansion, the master and servant walked unhurriedly, and at the corner, Xiao Muyun suddenly stopped and stared at the figure in front of him. "Bingshen, the night is very quiet, do you think there will be an assassin with long eyes?"
"Yes, and it's very strong, Second Highness, if I am defeated, you must go first. Just go back and put my spirit card into the Zhongyi Hall. Hearing this, the man in Chinese clothes paused, "Okay, but you can't die yet, I'm still waiting to take you down to Jiangnan, it seems that the man with a broadsword in front of him is really powerful." Bingshen, the guard with the knife, lifted the knife out of the sheath, "stronger than me, not weaker" kicked the ground, and the scabbard had been shot towards the hateman. The hateman raised his sword forward with one hand, and with a split of his sword, the scabbard was blocked in the air by an invisible wall of qi when it was a foot away from the broadsword.
Gang Qi is put out one foot, half a step of the heavenly realm. However, Bing Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, the half-step Heavenly Realm, in the past ten years of his realm mastery, although he couldn't be a foot away from the knife, it was not difficult to drag the half-step Heavenly Realm's Doujia for a while. These considerations are only in a single thought, the swords collide, and the two are scattered, although the scattered energy is not as indestructible as the gangqi, it can also enter the wall for three points, and the surrounding tiles fly horizontally. Seeing that Bingshen blocked him with the momentum of impact, the hat man swept his backhand broadsword, Bingshen couldn't return the knife, and the handle of his right hand held a block and bounced back. In just a few breaths of fighting, I have probably figured out the details of the other party. Bingshen looked calm, but his right hand holding the knife cracked, and blood dripped down with the hilt.
"You're strong, but it's not easy to kill me. Bingshen stood in front of the man in the Chinese costume and said to the hatholder. At this time, the hats did not rush to attack. Just looked at Bingshen, "You are not weak, you took me two tricks with the Great Success of the Realm, and you only suffered a slight injury, which is enough to be proud." I'm not here to kill today, though. My task is only to contain the guards of the palace, but fortunately, you are the only one today, so I don't have to work too hard. I wasn't the one who killed people. Hearing this, Bingshen knew that there might be less luck tonight, and he also sensed another faint murderous aura on the roof. I was really careless just now, and I was attracted by the murderous aura that the hat-haters deliberately released, and I didn't notice that there were other people nearby. "Second Highness, you go first, I'll deal with the two of them, here is in the alley to the palace. Xiao Muyun heard the guard Bingshen say this, turned around and left. And at this time, the hat man had already deceived him, "Your opponent is me, didn't you hear?" As soon as the words fell, the two fought together, and the murderous aura upstairs disappeared in the direction of the man in the Chinese costume.
And on the river side of a street away from here, there are two old men, ordinary people will definitely call them immortals when they see them, and they will tread without a trace, "Old Monster Shi, I didn't expect you to be dead, I don't have time to fight you today, get out of the way." "Chen Qiutian, this time I came specifically to fight with you, I don't care if I have anything important to do, you have to fight if you don't fight today." The old man surnamed Chen was originally secretly protecting Xiao Muyun, but he was challenged by the old man in front of him. I just felt two strong breaths approaching Xiao Muyun and them, and I wanted to get out quickly. Touching the sharp sword Xingyun in his hand that had not been unsheathed for several years, "Old friend, since the completion of the Heavenly Realm, I have never fought side by side with you. Shi Lao Wei, I only have six swords, and I still have important things to do after the fight" The first sword, Yunshi," said a little on his tiptoes, and took off into the air, and the sword gang came down from the top. Looking at the sword gang that fell and attacked, Shi Lao Wei shouted, it's good to come, and his hands are full of anger to meet Jian Gang.
At the same time, the man in Chinese clothes stopped in an alley in front of King Xiao's mansion. "Friend, after following me for so long, you still haven't come out?". At this time, a man in black jumped from the roof, "Xiao Muyun, why didn't you escape?" The man in the Chinese costume smiled, "If I continue to escape, you will make a move as soon as you get to the alley, I might as well wait for you to come out, and even send a realm master to kill me, it really looks up to me." The man in black was not busy making his moves, and looked at Xiao Muyun with interest, "You can still see my realm, Your Royal Highness has a good knowledge, I have killed so many kings and nobles, the most powerful human realm, you rich and noble, your body has long been hollowed out by wine, you deserve to die." ”
Xiao Muyun didn't pay attention to the words of the man in black, but just looked at the man in black quietly, "The fallen leaves don't touch the body, and the qi protects the body." The landscape is complete. That's right," the man in black looked at Xiao Muyun with the eyes of a dead man, "Don't talk nonsense, it's time to send His Second Highness on the road." I hope you'll be so calm when you die," the man in black said as soon as he spoke, and three darts shot out, swinging his sword himself. Seeing the three darts that flew over, Xiao Muyun unhurriedly took off the gorgeous jeweled sword on his waist, and he didn't have time to take out the sword to block the darts. But at this moment, three darts were fixed in the air half a foot away from Xiao Muyun. Like an invisible wall blocking the front, the black-clothed people were horrified, and they wanted to retreat from their swords, but they suddenly felt a cold vest, and the unpretentious sword in Xiao Muyun's hand except for the gorgeous sword blade in the scabbard had broken through the armor and pierced the chest. The black-clothed mouth was bleeding, "Gang Qi is one foot out, half-step Heavenly Realm, ridiculous, it turns out that the whole world has been deceived by you, what is the name of this sword? Even if it is a half-step Heavenly Realm, it is impossible to kill me with one move." I don't want to die without turning a blind eye" Xiao Muyun looked at the black-clothed man in front of him whose aura was getting weaker and weaker, but there was a kind of respect for a martial artist, "The sword name is nine voids, and you are not unjustly dead." "It turns out that the Nine Voids, who have been missing for nearly sixty years, have fallen into your hands, but with such a scabbard. Xiao Wangfu is really my lord's enemy, but it's a pity that I can't send the information back...... Finish. After saying that, he died in anger.
"The sixth sword, Cloud Break. The air around the old man surnamed Chen stagnated, and the river under his feet spread out like a boil. The invisible sword gang entrained the river to form a giant sword and slashed down, Shi Lao Wei saw that Gang was imposing, and he didn't dare to make a hard connection, but he found that he couldn't avoid the sword lock, so he could only raise his breath and make a hard connection. I saw that Jian Gang fell, and Shi Lao Monster was knocked into the river. Until the bottom of the river. The river is separated by a sword gang, and after the gang qi, the river water on both sides slowly flows. The old monster who came out of the bottom of the river was embarrassed at this time, one arm was gone, and the blood ran down his shoulder, staining the river water under his feet red. "A sword breaks the river. Gangqi turned from virtual to real. You've stepped into the Void? No, if you were in the Void, I wouldn't be able to escape and be dead. Have you reached a half-step void?" Shi Laowei, who said this, was extremely shocked in his heart, thinking that there are only four masters of the Void Realm in the world so far, and there are only dozens of masters in the Heavenly Realm. In particular, they have been trapped in the Heavenly Realm for decades, and they all think that there is no hope for life. Only by breaking through with force and going to various places to find people to compete, this time it was used by people with intentions. The old man surnamed Chen returned his sword into the sheath. "It's just touching the threshold, thinking that Mo Jiuxu broke the three pillars of incense in the river with a sword. And the first person in the world, Wu Daosheng, the head of Tianshan Mountain, can also break the river and a pillar of incense with a sword. I'm still far away, you can go, it's not easy to practice the current martial arts. I have something important to do, so I take my leave. After speaking, the two Heavenly Realm masters left one after another. Only the river that is still flowing into the chasm caused by the Gangqi is left, witnessing the great war.
