A stream of water under the clear sky and flowing clouds is like a path that does not know its destination, carrying those heartbreaking past events, winding towards a distance beyond the reach of the field of vision.
The white-haired man on the bluestone opened his eyes. The hidden sword that had been hidden for thousands of years was sharpened, and the whole world was stung.
The clouds opened several layers.
But he just looked ahead calmly, his sword eyes shining through the clear stream, and there was no trace of emotion anywhere.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
The water on the stream rippled slightly, revealing a woman in Taoist robes with her hair bound in a jade crown.
Her eyebrows, eyes and temples are like stars, and her face is beautiful and harmonious. You can see both the grace and the years. The divine light in his eyes is as impermanent as the slight ripples of water.
"Hey, let me tell you." The Taoist-robed woman's voice was full of complaints: "Duke Huai of Chu asked someone to send you a message, but you didn't listen? Did you ignore your precious apprentice?"
"He was going to kill someone, and I didn't care about him. He was going to be killed, so why should I care about him?" the white-haired man asked quietly.
Fine lines appeared in the water mirror, and the woman's face in the water mirror seemed to be somewhat fragmented.
"Ah this..."
These words are so reasonable that people cannot refute them for a moment!
"But he is your disciple after all, and the true successor of my Nandou Palace." The woman said.
The white-haired man looked at the clear stream calmly: "He has to do things by himself, and he has to walk the road himself. Then he should have his own consciousness. If he dies like this this time, it will be his choice."
"You're my disciple. His murderous nature is not inferior to yours back then. It's just that the nightmare is hard to get rid of, and it's all about ego." The woman in Taoist robes sighed: "Earlier, he came to me specifically to ask for help in fortune telling. That young man named Jiang Wang."
The white-haired man's tone was still calm: "Then he's pretty good at uncovering your scars."
"Isn't that true?" the woman in Taoist robes said with some resentment: "How can I count the people who Yu Beidou tried to cover up? You, the seven-killer Lu Shuanghe, are the most powerful real person in the world. My calculation power is not that high." Go high."
"I have a plan."
"What's the plan?"
Lu Shuanghe said calmly: "Protect yourself, take good care of your body, and live for a few more years. When Yu Beidou dies, you will be the most powerful person in the world."
"This...how could Yu Beidou die if he was fine? Do you have any news that I don't know?"
"What I mean is..." Lu Shuanghe said: "He is older than you."
"..." Ren Qiuli, the famous Tianji Master, was silent for a while in the water mirror: "Thank you, you are still so good at comforting people."
Of course they all know the real reason.
Without Yu Beidou's way in this world, he would have long lost the possibility of becoming a true king. Therefore, his age is an age that is really getting closer step by step.
It's just that for a person like Ren Qiuli, he has to wait for another person to live, grow old, and die before he can aspire to be the world's most powerful real person... Isn't it a tragedy?
It's not that she can finally defeat her competitor, but that her opponent has already lost to the times and will eventually lose to time.
"But then again, after all, Shengfeng is one of our own in Nandou Palace. For him to come to me is also a sign of trust." Ren Qiuli said: "Are you really not going to care about him?"
"Do you know what is the cruelest thing in the world?" Lu Shuanghe asked.
Ren Qiuli said: "...It's your sword."
"My sword is not enough." Lu Shuanghe gently raised a finger and pointed at the sky: "It is it. No matter what choice you make, no matter how hard you work, it is like that, following its own order. No way. Change for anyone and anything.”
He didn't seem to understand the tone of Ren Qiuli's words at all. He just stated his answer and continued: "When I was selecting people, I just watched. I accept all the results. I hope he can accept it too."
"It's different now. Now Yi Shengfeng is your disciple. You have raised him for so many years..." Ren Qiuli paused here and asked in surprise: "You want to sharpen his sword? In the Southern Territory It’s easy to defeat Duke Huai’s Mansion of Great Chu!”
Lu Shuanghe only said: "Swords are born to kill people, so there is no reason not to break them."
Ren Qiuli said: "The Zuo family has been a family for thousands of years. It has accumulated prestige over time and is as strong as the clouds. When the Duke of Chuhuai gave an order, I don't know how many people drew their swords. If you don't support him, he will have no way to survive."
Lu Shuanghe said: "I believe he had already thought about what he was going to face before he drew his sword."
"After all, he is young and vigorous. He may not understand the importance of the Huai Kingdom of Chu, nor the Qi Kingdom..."
"If a person doesn't know what he is going to face before he draws his sword." Lu Shuanghe interrupted indifferently: "Then what reason does he have to live?"
Ren Qiuli sighed and said: "It's okay if the people under the gods take action. I'm afraid that the Duke of Huai will use his power to suppress others, and if word spreads, it will also hinder the reputation of our Nandou Palace."
Of these two real people, the uncle cared more about his disciple than the master.
This was probably the reason why Yi Shengfeng asked Ren Qiuli for help in fortune telling but did not ask his master.
Lu Shuanghe looked at Shui Jing and said extremely calmly: "If there is a being above the gods who takes action against him, of course I will protect my disciple."
As he said himself, before a person draws a sword, he must think clearly about what he is going to face.
Lu Shuanghe undoubtedly thought very clearly.
Ren Qiuli then understood that this was the bottom line drawn by Lu Shuanghe, and it was also his response to Duke Huai of Chu.
She advised: "It's better to recall Shengfeng. Lord Changsheng will be back soon. During this period, we don't need to talk to the Chu State..."
"Zuo Xiao is Zuo Xiao, and the Kingdom of Chu is the Kingdom of Chu. How far can he go as a Qi man?" Lu Shuanghe responded quietly.
He looked up at the sky again, and saw a bloody eagle-like beast, fluttering its wings and passing by, chopping up the wandering clouds.
"I'd love to know too," he said.
The sky became clear.
Silent, without form... there is no eagle anymore.
…
…
At the junction of the three kingdoms of Zhuang, Yongluo and Luo, there is a city called "No Redemption".
This is a recognized lawless place, a city of chaos.
The laws of the three countries cannot be extended here, and any morals and precepts in the world do not take effect here.
There is only one voice, one rule.
There is only one crime here——
Those who can't afford the life money can only wait to be killed... "poor".
Some people see it as a cancer in the Western Realm, while others see it as a pure land in this world.
But no matter what people say or think about it, it stands here silently and will continue to stand for a long time.
Not to mention the Luo Kingdom, now that the Zhuang Kingdom has risen, the Yong Kingdom has reformed, and the two heroes are confronting each other, the border has become more stable. Probably no one wants to start another national war and needs such a place to buffer.
As a result, the city of Unredeemed became more and more prosperous.
It cannot be said that it is the soil that breeds sin, but it is indeed a prison for sinners.
As long as you pay enough life money, you can live here and live well. Good or evil, old or young.
Without life gold, there is no life. The same applies to both good and evil, old and young.
The crime guard sitting by the city gate had been dozing for a while.
Although the city was full of villains, he didn't need to worry about anyone causing trouble. The force of the Unredeemed City has been proven time and again in the past years... It has been a long time since there has been a moment that needed to be proven.
Half asleep and half awake, a person walked up to him and stopped in front of him.
This man was wearing a cloak and linen clothes, and his face was hidden under the cloak.
Standing there politely, as if waiting for him to wake up.
This kind of politeness is incompatible with the temperament of Buhu City.
The crime guard glanced at this person and stopped caring. It didn't matter whether he was a man or a woman, whether he was beautiful or ugly, whether he was naked or not. She just yawned and asked, "Do you know the rules?"
Under the cloak was a young voice: "I would like to hear the details."
It's not easy for young people to survive in this city.
Because young people often still have tempers and their abilities have not yet matured.
But it's none of his business.
Although the crime guard was impatient, he still explained the rules of life gold.
"Tell me, how much do you plan to spend on your own life?" After the criminal guard finished memorizing the rules, he lazily took the city entry slip, picked up his pen and said: "Friendly reminder, people who cherish money often live here for a short time. "
"Uh." The visitor paused and asked, "What's the minimum payment?"
The crime guard caught a not-so-pretty temperament and put away the entry slip and pen: "You can pay nothing."
"Then I won't hand it over," said the young man under the cloak.
Very natural and smooth.
Almost at the same time, those people gathered near the city gate, standing, lying or leaning, all cast ferocious looks, like hungry wolves!
The people hanging around here are all people who can no longer stay in the city for various reasons. But they came to the Unredeemed City in the first place because they couldn't survive outside. If you leave now, you will die faster.
They squat here every day, waiting for possible "new meat."
Although no one who chooses to live in the Unredemption City is easy to mess with, there will always be some stupid people who don't understand the situation. In this cruel world, give them a little "sweetness", such as the one in front of you. .
A poor disguise and the unique arrogance of young people.
Probably somewhere, he did something that was considered sensational, and he thought he was a great person and felt that he could run rampant anywhere.
He needs to be taught.
Of course, perhaps no teaching is needed, only burial.
The people gathered here are like hyenas, but the criminal guards who do not redeem the city will not pay attention to them. With such a group of hyenas here, new people entering the city are often willing to pay a little more life money.
After all, they, the criminal guards, have rules and cannot just start robbing like other bastards in the city.
The criminal guards at the city gate didn't care what fate the newcomer would face. Seeing that the newcomer refused to pay, he didn't bother to persuade him. He just said casually: "Then go in, why are you still standing there?"
"Uh, I have a question." The young man under the cloak didn't pay attention to the ferocious glances at all. He just looked at the criminal guard who was guarding the door to collect the money. He still remained polite: "I'm here to see a person named Lian Heng. May I ask? Where to go?”
The fierce gaze surrounding the city gate disappeared in an instant.
Those who catch lice catch lice, those who sleep sleep, and those who bask in the sun bask in the sun.
As soon as he came, he approached Lian Heng, the commander of the crime guards. No matter what the reason was, it was not something they could afford to offend.
Only the criminal guard at the city gate did not change his attitude.
Paying money or not paying, looking for Lian Heng or looking for Zhang San is just a person who affects his nap.
He waved his hand a little impatiently: "Go in and ask others."
"Really, I'm just looking after the door. You can't come to me for everything, right?"
The young man in the cloak seemed to have a good temper, not at all as irritable and vicious as other newcomers to the city. He just nodded and said, "Excuse me."
Then he walked to the city by himself.
He is a newcomer who has not paid any money and has zero life money.
He walked alone into the most evil city in the Three Kingdoms of the Western Region.
No one bothered him, but no one paid him any attention either.
"excuse me……"
The fierce-looking people went their separate ways without even a single curious glance.
The residents here only worry about how to live and have more fun every day, and don't care about anything else.
Jiang Wang stood in the middle of the street and raised his hand politely for a long time, but received no response.
Finally gave up.
He turned around and looked at the men leaning against the wall.
One of them had the most malicious look in his eyes.
Jiang Wang walked over directly, blocking his sunlight.
The man raised his head. One eye was blind, and the other eye also had a cut on the brow bone. The whole man had a kind of ferocity in his bones.
"This is really an indifferent city." Jiang Wang said.
The one-eyed man looked at him warily and said nothing.
"You should have no life gold, right?" Jiang Wang asked.
The man grinned: "How much reward do you plan to give me?"
"Lead the way, or I will kill you." Jiang Wang said coldly.
Of course he shouldn't mess with the people who went to Lian Heng, but he really couldn't give in when he came to threaten him.
The man sitting by the city wall knows very well the rules of survival in this city.
His muscles suddenly tightened, and a fierce light flashed in his one eye: "Heh..."
Clang!
He only heard the sound of the sword, but did not catch the sword light.
He didn't catch the sword's light, but he could already feel the coldness of the sword's edge.
The sword edge passed through his scalp and penetrated into the thick city wall.
He felt a slight chill as the sword edge drew a line on his scalp.
His whole body went numb suddenly, and then almost fell into paralysis. His whole body felt soft. The cold sweat on my spine broke out just now.
Jiang Wang lowered his cloak slightly and said in an unusually cold voice: "Huh?"
"Hey, hey, you'll have to pay for destroying the city wall!"
The criminal guard who had been sitting lazily at the gate of the city, as if he was paralyzed, suddenly appeared next to the two of them, and confidently reached out to Jiang Wang for money.
Jiang Wang:......
After paying the money, the two people cursed in their hearts and left near the city gate.
Of course what Jiang Wang was scolding in his heart was the greed of not redeeming the city. He didn't know what the one-eyed man was scolding in his heart.
There are no rules for the buildings in the Unredeemed City. Apart from the fact that they are generally not very high, there are all kinds of weird and weird styles. Everything seems chaotic, but in this chaos, a strange order can be found.
The one-eyed man led the way and stopped in front of an extraordinary flower building.
"Lian Heng should be inside. I don't have gold in my pocket, so I can't go in." He said.
Jiang Wang looked up at the plaque of this tall building and threw a piece of gold to him: "Thanks for showing the way."
The one-eyed man caught the ingot of gold with a strange look in his eyes, obviously not expecting that this murderous guy would give him money. But there was nothing to worry about. He took the gold and turned around and left.
If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard.
Although he feels like a bastard, he still wants to take advantage.
Jiang Wang still looked up at the plaque in his sight. He was not familiar with this city and had never been here before. He just looked at the plaque with some faint doubts.
It’s really surprising that Sanfenxianglou has opened here...
"Isn't it strange?" A person suddenly appeared next to him and looked up at the plaque with Jiang Wang.
This person was wearing a blood-red outfit with a single braid, and he looked sleepy. Jiang Wang subconsciously thought of Xiang Qian.
However, his voice was quite emotional and full of desire, not as world-weary as Xiang Qian.
"Why would such a famous Fengyue Field be opened in a chaotic place like Buhu City?"
He talked eloquently: "I have been studying this problem for a long time. So what is the reason? I think you are also curious. Why don't you spend some money and go in and take a look for yourself."
Even with the cover of his cloak, Jiang Wang's eyes still showed strong suspicion - Are you a member of this building?
Seeing that the business deal could not be concluded, the man shrugged: "I am Lian Heng. I heard you were looking for me?"
Jiang Wang looked at him and said via message: "I'm here to see Zhu Weiwo. He said he can contact him through you."
Lian Henglai's expression disappeared immediately, and he looked at Jiang Wang seriously: "Is it convenient to take off your cloak?"
"I'm afraid it will bring you trouble." Jiang Wang said equally seriously.
"Hahaha, the last thing I don't fear is trouble!" Lian Heng laughed arrogantly halfway, but then he seemed to hear something suddenly and cut off his laughter.
"Uh, um. Come with me."
Turn around and walk to another street.
Jiang Wang felt baffled. But he didn't express any opinions and just followed this person quietly.
The other party is wearing the clothes of a criminal guard, and this is Buhu City. No one would dare to pretend to be Lian Heng in this place.
I wish that since I asked him to come to Buhu City, I would ask him to find Lian Heng. Then this person in this place must have no problem.
Of course he didn't trust Lian Heng or not redeem the city, he just trusted Zhu Weiwo.
So just follow along.
As Lian Heng walked, he suddenly thought of something and muttered in a low voice: "Why do I always lead others? If this continues, I will soon become a welcome guest."
"Oh?" Jiang Wang asked smoothly: "Who else will your Excellency show you to?"
"No one. Even if you tell me, you don't know anyone." Lian Heng seemed unwilling to talk more and waved his hand casually.
Jiang Wang also stopped talking.
The two walked one behind the other through the streets and alleys, and soon came to the tallest building in the city - a seven-story building.
There is a black vertical plaque hanging in the middle of the door. There is only a white word "prison" on the plaque.
The two colors are distinct, making this word stand out more and more.
This word is like a shackle or a lock, with a harsh and restraining atmosphere.
When people come to this building, they can't help but hold their breath and concentrate.
"We're here." Lian Hengzhi said, "The person you want to see is inside."
There was a maid inside, who made a gesture to Jiang Wang to invite him in.
All procedures are very straightforward, without any complicated etiquette.
Jiang Wang also stepped in.
The maid guided them from the front, walking on the quaint stairs until they reached the fourth floor.
Even with Jiang Wang's current vision, he felt that the layout here was very extraordinary, not much worse than the Huaiguo Duke's Mansion. And it's not just money that can do it.
The maid in the prison building didn't speak at all. She just pointed to a place for Jiang Wang to sit down, offered her a cup of tea, and left without even a word of explanation.
When he came in, Jiang Wang had already carefully observed the environment and planned several routes to leave.
The Immortal Warriors have created three statues in total, and they are now cleaning up the ruins in Genting Immortal Palace. According to Baiyun Boy, they have the instinct to repair the Immortal Palace. After all, when Genting Immortal Palace was originally built, the basic labor force was the Immortal Palace Warriors. Of course, it’s hard to make a fool of yourself without rice, and without materials, there is little need to expect the progress of their restoration.
But for Jiang Wang now, a powerful Immortal Warrior at the pinnacle level of Wailou is enough to give him more options in his fighting style.
No one paid attention at this time, he was not impatient, and of course he did not drink tea. Just sit there silently and work on your gong.
There are endless clues in the world of spiritual practice, so the time spent waiting for others must not be wasted.
About two hours later, when the tea had completely cooled down, a glamorous woman wearing black clothes walked in. He walks calmly and has an aura of being on top for a long time.
Her face is delicate and beautiful, but her cold phoenix eyes invisibly distance her from the world.
The moment he saw her, Jiang Wang suddenly thought of... Corpse Phoenix Jiaxuan.
In the world that collapsed into the sea that day, the beautiful figure with picturesque wings brought the night with the flutter of its wings...
Jiang Wang finished practicing and stood up quickly: "It's really rude to bother me."
The woman in black clothes just glanced at him lightly: "I heard that you are looking for Zhu Weiwo?"
"Yes...he invited me to meet here." Jiang Wang said.
"Are you and Zhu Weiwo the same?"
"Friend." Jiang Wang answered seriously, and asked in a formal way: "Who are you?"
The woman in black clothes simply said: "This is my city."
Jiang Wang then held up his hands as a gift and said, "I have met Mr. Zuijun."
The lord of the Unredemption City, Huang Jinmo, who was known as the Sin Lord, Shi Shiran sat down at the main seat and asked quietly: "Why are you still wearing a cloak when you meet the master here?"
"I'm sorry." Jiang Wang first took off his cloak and put it next to him to show his sincerity, and then said: "It's true that Jiang Wang's identity is a bit sensitive around here, and he is afraid of causing trouble for Lord Sin."
Huang Jinmo just raised his finger, and the window next to Jiang Wang was opened, letting in the hustle and bustle outside the building along with the skylight.
Then I heard her say slowly: "Don't worry, no one here knows you."
Jiang Wang:......
"Jiang's personality is more cautious, which makes Master Zuijun laugh." Jiang Wang said carefully.
Huang Jin remained silent and said, "This building has never allowed outsiders to enter or exit, but recently it has made many exceptions."
"I'm scared."
Huang Jinmo said without mercy: "You don't have to panic, this exception is not because of you."
Her tone was calm: "Zhuang Ting has been looking for Zhu Weiwo, you know that, right? Everyone here recognizes Zhu Weiwo. It's not safe for you to meet elsewhere."
Jiang Wang said sincerely: "On behalf of Senior Brother Zhu, I would like to thank Master Zuijun for taking care of him."
Huang Jinmo raised his eyebrows and looked at him majestically: "Who are you? You want to thank him?"
