In a thick fog, Xiao Yunfan was walking barefoot on the cold iron ground wearing thin clothes. He felt a cold air that seemed to penetrate directly from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He hunched his neck and looked into the distance. A towering archway stood in front of him, with four ancient seal characters written on it: "Wuji Fantasy". He walked through the archway and came to a world of colored glaze with pink makeup and jade. Plum blossoms as red as fire are planted on both sides of the path, with sparse branches and slanting branches, which are clear and unconventional.
Probably because of the cold, he felt that his hands and feet were a little numb, as if every step he took was extremely painful and difficult. He had no choice but to stop, rub his hands to generate some warmth, and then put them on his ears to keep warm. The chill showed no sign of retreating.
His teeth were chattering, and he looked up at the sky sadly. A snowflake fell lightly, like a feather. He stretched out his palm, and the tiny snowflakes melted instantly and turned into a crystal drop of water.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, as if weaving a white curtain between the sky and the earth. Under the heavy curtains, people could no longer open their eyes. Just when he felt most desperate, the snow suddenly stopped again. Not far in front of him, a row of huge icicles were neatly arranged. Looking at the crystal-clear and crystal-like spectacle, Xiao Yunfan felt a sense of joy in his heart.
He approached the icicle, and a face was reflected in the icicle. He looked at this face, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar. Just when he was stunned, a voice behind him shouted: "Yunfan!" He turned around and saw a bearded man in purple clothes. The man looked at him and smiled. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the big man didn't know where he had gone. A woman wearing a goose-yellow gauze looked at him and shouted: "Xiao Lang!"
He was very surprised and said to himself: "One of them calls me Yunfan and the other calls me Xiao Lang. Should my last name be Xiao? Should I be called Xiao Yunfan? Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan, it turns out that Xiao Yunfan is me." While he was thinking deeply, , the icicles in front of me also disappeared.
Rumble, thunder rolls in the sky. A ray of white light struck down, and he screamed. A huge hole opened in the ground beneath his feet, and he suddenly fell into a dark abyss. He desperately tried to catch something, but couldn't catch anything.
"Ah!" With a loud shout, Xiao Yunfan woke up and turned around, dripping with tears. He tried to sit up, but felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then fell down, his head resting on a soft pillow. There was a thick bandage on his chest, and when he exerted force, the wound was unknowingly affected, causing burning pain.
Standing beside his bed was a woman with an extraordinary temperament. This woman had a pretty face, looking at him with charming eyes and smiling: "Thank God, you finally woke up." Xiao Yunfan looked at her and said: "Who are you? "Mrs. Rose said: "Why did I even forget about this serious illness?" Xiao Yunfan said: "You are Mrs. Rose."
Mrs. Rose smiled and said: "Of course I am Mrs. Rose, but now I am your maid."
Xiao Yunfan said: "You don't dare to take it seriously." Mrs. Rose blinked and said, "You don't dare to take it seriously, so why are you so pretentious?" As she said that, she sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched his forehead, and said quietly: "It's not very hot anymore. It seems that Elder Xu's medical skills are really good. Since you remember me, you should remember our agreement.
You didn't break your promise, so I can tell you whatever you want to know. "Xiao Yunfan recalled the scene that night, and also recalled his appointment with Mrs. Rose. He said: "I'm afraid it's not necessary now. "Mrs. Rose asked curiously: "Why? "Xiao Yunfan said: "I had a dream just now, and I seemed to remember everything before. "
Mrs. Rose shook her head and smiled: "Really? That's a good thing, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. To be honest, your luck is really good. If an ordinary person is hit by a cannon, he will definitely die."
But the projectile fired by the blunderbuss that hit you happened to hit your ribs. Your ribs were hard enough, so it didn't hurt your heart. Otherwise, even Daluo Jinxian would be hard-pressed to bring him back to life.
And with the best doctor in my City of Darkness diagnosing and treating your injuries, your life has been taken back from the King of Hell. "Xiao Yunfan said: "The king of hell hates people like me. "
Mrs. Rose said: "You are not only annoying, you are simply disgusting." She giggled as she spoke.
She looked at Xiao Yunfan's handsome face and said quietly: "You know, I originally planned to keep you by my side as a guard, but..." Xiao Yunfan said: "But what?" Mrs. Rose said: "But my master has ordered you, Whether you stay or go is entirely up to you." Xiao Yunfan said: "Your master? Who is he? Does he also recognize me?"
Mrs. Rose said: "My master respects Mr. Xunyi. He is the king of this dark city, and our four major forces all obey his orders. By the way, do you know who wants to kill you?" Xiao Yunfan said with a bitter smile. "I have too many enemies, I'm afraid I can't even count them." Mrs. Rose said, "Then let me tell you, the person who wants to kill you is called Su Changmao, and he is from the Ghost Prime Minister Sect."
Xiao Yunfan was shocked and asked: "Su Changmao, why is he here?" Mrs. Rose said: "He came here to buy petroleum as fuel for airships, and we are the only ones who can mine this petroleum. This person named Su is a guest invited by Charlie, the owner of Wanwu Castle. The gun used to plot against you is Charlie's product.
If something like this happened, Lord Wanwu Castle would naturally be involved. The master has ordered to capture Su Changmao, so you can rest assured about this. The City of Darkness is an underground city-state, and we only do business. But there are always rules in doing business. We can ignore the grievances between the Gui Xiangmen and you, but since he chose to take action on our territory, he has made it clear that he does not take the master in his eyes.
It is unbearable. I see that the master is really angry this time. The Lord of Wanwu Fort has been imprisoned. And four elders were also sent out. No matter they are ghosts or gods, they will not end well if they offend our master. What I didn't expect is that my master seems to appreciate you very much and specially asked me, the city lord, to serve you. "
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "You feel wronged?" Mrs. Rose said with a smile on her face: "You made a lot of money for me. For the sake of money, it seems that it is not too much to be nice to you. "Xiao Yunfan said: "I am also very interested in your master. I wonder when I can see him?" Mrs. Rose said: "It's hard to say. It depends on his mood." Lingjiu Literature Network
After a few days, Xiao Yunfan's injuries had recovered and he was able to walk around. And the mysterious Lord of Youdu also planned to meet him. In a spacious hall, there is a round table with wine glasses and jugs on it, all made of white jade and shiny. Sitting across the table was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy was wearing a jade hairpin, a silk robe, and a jade cup in his hand. When he saw Xiao Yunfan coming in, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."
Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but be surprised. He really didn't expect that the owner of this majestic and dark city was actually a young man. The young man's clear eyes seemed to see through his thoughts, and he smiled and said: "Brother Xiao probably doesn't believe that the Lord of Youdu can be such a young man." Xiao Yunfan said: "That's right, I really didn't expect that someone like you would He became the Lord of this Youdu at a young age."
The young man put down the jade cup in his hand and said, "You are wrong. I look like I am only sixteen years old, but I am actually sixty years old." Xiao Yunfan clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, tsk, I always thought I was bragging. It's quite a gain, but when I see you, I realize that you are a small witch. If you are sixty years old, then am I already an old monster?" Master Xunyi sighed: "I won't lie to you, I have been suffering from a strange disease since I was a child. Because of the disease, my body and appearance cannot grow like normal people. So when you see me, you still think I am a teenager."
Xiao Yunfan had heard a lot of anecdotes, but he still couldn't believe that for such a young man, he was already an old man in his sixties.
Master Xunyi said slowly: "I know you must have many questions in your mind, so as long as you can tell me, I will answer you if I can answer them."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Since you are the master of this dark city, why do you divide the people here into three, six or nine grades?" Master Xunyi said: "The sun rises, the moon sets, the grass and trees wither, everything has its own order. And this For the world to work, people of all sizes must exist. It is impossible for everyone to be equal. Some people are born as princes and princesses, while others are born as slaves. If there is no nobility, how can you be humble? Without right and wrong, how can you be called a slave? Jianghu?
It's not that I deliberately divide the people here into three, six or nine, but it's their fate. Only when they have identity in their hearts can they use all available opportunities to change their destiny. This is actually very fair. "Xiao Yunfan said: "What you said seems reasonable, but those so-called slaves have nothing, how can they stand up? Life? For the fame and fortune you give, let them bite like dogs? "
Master Xunyi blinked and said: "The world outside is like this, and the world here is like this. No one can deny the existence of this world, and its existence is reasonable." Xiao Yunfan said: "Haven't you ever thought about which slave you would be if you were born? What will happen?”
Master Xunyi smiled and said: "I can only obey orders and wait for the right time. No one in this world is a slave. How many people can see through the four words of wine, sex, wealth and wealth? There is desire in the heart and is led by desire. Everyone is a slave of desire." If you advise me to change the City of Darkness into the World of Great Harmony, I can’t do it, and no one will be able to do it in a thousand or ten thousand years.”
Xiao Yunfan said: "If you don't break it, how do you know it can't be done?" The owner of Xunyi drank a glass of wine and said: "If you don't break it first, it will be worse than before. I just said that the world needs order, not chaos. Everyone Everyone has their own beliefs, and I never oppose their beliefs. All I want is order. Only when order exists can my existence be meaningful."
Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. He knew that in order to change all the injustices in this world, he had to eliminate the desires in people's hearts. And how can something like desire be controlled by oneself? There have been so many heroes throughout the ages who have claimed to bring peace to all generations, but in the end it was not just for their own selfish desires.
The Ghost Prime Sect dominates the martial arts world in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Their desire is to plunge the world into a state of eternal doom. Take Su Changmao as an example, he is Lin Changkong's illegitimate son, but Lin Changkong murdered their mother and son. Such unforgettable hatred inspired his desire for revenge, which also drove him crazy.
One person's ugly desires are terrible, let alone this group of people. Even if we can kill them all, the evil thoughts caused by desires left in this world cannot be eliminated forever? Xiao Yunfan couldn't do the chivalry he believed in in his heart, and after thinking about it, he became a little bit discouraged.
Master Xunyi said calmly: "Xiao Yunfan, you can't interfere with my affairs. You should think about your own affairs." Xiao Yunfan said: "My business? Dealing with the Ghost Prime Minister?" Master Xunyi said: "I'm afraid you If you can’t do it anymore, maybe you have to join the Ghost Sect?”
Xiao Yunfan was startled and said: "I don't know what you mean?" Master Xunyi drank a glass of wine, and his eyes seemed to light up. He said slowly: "You probably don't know that the leaders of the Zhengdao Wulin have treated you as an outcast in order to protect their own face." Xiao Yunfan said: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"
Master Xunyi sighed: "Now the whole world knows that it was Xiao Yunfan and the Ghost Prime Minister who set up a scheme to steal the Chishui Gang's "King Yu's Water Control Map". This "King Yu's Water Control Map" includes the dangerous underground and sewer lines. Among them, as long as you have it, you can control the sky and sewers.
While you are staying here, the leaders of the righteous martial arts have destroyed several estuaries of the Yangtze River, and now the people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have suffered a great disaster. As long as people's hearts are agitated, these martial arts leaders can achieve great things and establish prestige. How many things have you done for the world and how many times have you wiped their butts?
Now, people don't take you seriously at all. Instead, they use you to enhance their prestige. How about it, does it sound chilling? Very bleak, right? Whether what I said is true or not, you will know for yourself once you leave here and walk around the world.
People's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world. One day you are hailed as a hero, and tomorrow you will be called a traitor. In the blink of an eye, the old hen turns into a duck. I can fall out faster than flipping through a book. If it were me, I might actually cooperate with the Ghost Sect. So wake up and don’t be so self-righteous.
The word hero is a fucking lie. Where can there be heroes in this world? A chivalrous person does not care about life and death in order to save the common people. Even if everyone is dead, do you still care about your fame? The corpses of the heroes had long been piled up like mountains and thrown into the darkness. Instead, it was the hypocritical heroes who showed off their power in front of others.
I have seen through this world a long time ago, so I cannot bear to have you deceived by hypocritical benevolence, righteousness, and chivalry. If a knight does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. You can only fill your own stomach first, and then think about sharing the surplus food with others. It also depends on whether you are in a good mood. If you are good, you will share a bucket of food. If you are not good, you will even feed the pigs and dogs a load of food, but you will not share it with others. If a good person is hurt by the world, why should he save it?
I think you are a talented person, so I can show you a clear path, which is to come to my city of darkness to work. You don't have to worry about the battle between good and evil. Whether they are fighting in a dark way or life and death, let's just watch the show. If the two don't help each other, in the end their life and death will be nothing more than a show. "
