In Yin Yang Village.
Li Xingyun walked in the Yin Yang Village with one person, one sword and one horse.
Everything you see is desolate. On both sides of the street, there are people kneeling on the ground, crying and burning paper money, which is extremely eerie.
Most of the houses in the village are old buildings with cracks on the walls and broken windows, exuding an atmosphere of decay and desolation.
The tiles on the roofs were incomplete, and the streets were filled with a sense of coldness and humidity, as if invisible hands were peering behind people's backs. The heavy mist shrouded the village, and the village was surrounded by dense woods and jungles. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was a faint sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other, which made people feel creepy.
Suddenly, Li Xingyun pulled the reins and stopped in front of an intersection.
Behind him, the people burning paper money were still wearing sackcloth and mourning, kneeling casually on the roadside and burning paper money.
The Yin Yang Village looked like this when Li Xingyun came in the last life, and it is the same this time.
Not long after, a short, fat old woman with a hunched body came leading a team that seemed to be welcoming a bride.
Her face is old and full of wrinkles, her eyes are sunken in their sockets, shining with a gloomy light. She is wearing a shabby red dress, the fabric has been eroded by time and wind and rain. The red color seemed to give off a strange aura, which made people shudder.
At this moment, she was dejectedly leading a few people behind her, leaning on a black crutch, moving slowly and almost silently through the streets.
In the team behind her, several people were carrying a sedan chair, and the people in the sedan seemed to be still sobbing faintly.
'It's her...' As soon as Li Xingyun saw her face, he remembered who she was. In the last life, it was this old woman who poisoned them with corpse poison and took Lu Linxuan away. Her method was very strange.
But I saw that the old woman's face seemed sad, as if she had encountered some trouble.
She was indeed worried, and the reason was that it was the welder that Li Xingyun came to look for this time.
They introduced many girls to Welding Master, but none of them could like Welding Master. And Welding Master himself did not force these girls, but his own strength and almost inhuman face gave these "matchmakers" a great influence. pressure.
What if Welder gets angry and goes on a killing spree?
Although there is a high probability that the welder will not do this, but what if it happens?
Who has ever seen a beast that doesn't bite? Ordinary people in the world would draw their swords at each other even if they didn't agree with each other, and blood would be spattered in five steps, let alone a top master like Welding Ban.
"Senior, are you worried?" Li Xingyun stood on his horse on a whim, looked at the people carrying the sedan chair and the old woman in front of the sedan chair, and asked.
Li Xingyun's loud and steady voice stunned the old woman and several bearers who were chatting among themselves.
Even the sobs in the sedan chair were much quieter.
Not long after, a pair of jade hands stretched out from the sedan chair and opened a gap. A pair of bright eyes hid behind the gap and looked at Li Xingyun.
The girl hiding in the sedan's eyes lit up.
If you can be chosen to marry a welder, you must have good looks.
Comparing people with each other has to be done, and comparing goods with others has to be thrown away. I just saw the magical image of Welding Ba, riding a tall horse in front of me. He has a gentle and unrestrained temperament, a handsome face, a red robe, and a luxurious giant sword on his back. The young knight-errant, this comparison makes my heart beat like this!
"Young hero, young hero." The old matchmaker, leaning on a cane, quickly took a few steps forward, came to Li Xingyun, rubbed her hands, and said with a smile.
It's just that the smile looks so eerie and weird.
"Is the young hero getting married? If not, how about letting me arrange a happy event?" The old matchmaker looked at Li Xingyun in front of her with a sinister smile and said.
"No need, senior." Li Xingyun waved his hand, looked at the old matchmaker in front of him, and said.
"If you don't want to, young hero, forget it. It's a pity." As soon as the old matchmaker got closer, she realized that Li Xingyun was not simple. She shook her head, turned around and left.
"But I am really here to arrange a marriage." Li Xingyun looked at the matchmaker in front of him and said.
"What kind of marriage?" The old matchmaker paused with her hand on crutches, turned to look at Li Xingyun in front of her, and asked with some confusion.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the Corpse Ancestor Welding Demon?
I came here specifically to propose marriage to him. "Li Xingyun stood on the horse, looked at the matchmaker, bowed his hands, and said.
The beautiful love between the Welder Corpse Ancestor and the Shangrao Princess, he, Li Xingyun, will naturally help them continue in this life.
Between the threads, the beauty of adulthood is probably a beautiful thing.
The old matchmaker looked at Li Xingyun in front of her, and her expression changed.
'Are you... stupid?
This young hero looks quite smart, right? '
They all know in their hearts what kind of honor the corpse-welding ancestor is, and no one is willing to take him. How can someone come here?
"Young hero...are you not making fun of us? If...he gets angry, we might be dead." The old matchmaker looked at Li Xingyun in front of him with a smile and asked. road.
From this few words, it can be seen how much the matchmaker is afraid of Welding Man, and she does not even dare to mention his name, although with Welding Man's character and appearance, it is very likely that he will scare people.
Li Xingyun mobilized his inner strength, and his whole body momentum suddenly increased. The fierce wind pressure set off a gust of wind, which only caused pain to the faces of the people in front of him, like a knife. Behind Li Xingyun, as Li Xingyun's whole body momentum grew, After a while, the crying and paper-burning movements gradually stopped.
This momentum comes and goes quickly.
Wouldn’t it be useless to not use this martial arts?
"It's just that I lost my sight. I didn't expect that the young hero at such a young age could be among the best in the world." The old matchmaker looked at Li Xingyun in front of her and said with a look of shock on her face.
Li Xingyun looked at the old matchmaker and nodded calmly.
"I don't know who the young hero wants to propose to the Welding Corpse Ancestor on behalf of?" The old matchmaker complimented Li Xingyun, then looked at Li Xingyun in front of her and asked.
"Wu Kingdom, Princess Shangrao." Li Xingyun looked at the person in front of him, nodded, and said.
He believed that with his Lao Li's ability and a little bit of tricks, he would be able to achieve this destined marriage.
…
Taiyuan.
On the streets of Taiyuan City, horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, and pedestrians pass through, creating a bustling scene. Horses neighed, vehicles rolled, and the noise of people mingled with the silk.
Opposite Shi Jingtang's mansion, stands a gorgeous ancient building. It is made of wood and stone, quite tall, with finely carved pillars and a gorgeous facade. The entire building is decorated with exquisite sculptures, reliefs and patterns. Above the main entrance of the building is a huge arched doorway, which is carved with lifelike scenes from mythological stories.
Zhang Zifan, dressed in white, stood on the roof of this building, with flowing white hair, holding an iron fan and swaying gently, staring at Shi Jingtang's mansion in front of him.
Not long after, a figure flashed away and came to Zhang Zifan. He looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him and bowed his hands.
The figure looked young, just a boy, but he looked like a ghost and was extremely fast. As he walked between the pavilions and buildings, his steps were as fast and gorgeous as an eagle striking in the sky.
It was Luo Xiaobei.
However, if Duan Chengtian saw his extremely cool, almost dazzling steps, he would definitely scold him severely and then ask him to practice more, because the "Silent Skill" is not so fancy. s things.
But for Shi Jingtang, enough was enough.
"Did you find anything?" Zhang Zifan looked at Luo Xiaobei in front of him with a calm expression. He raised his hand to close the iron fan, clapped it in his palm, and asked.
Just now, Shi Qixiang, who came out of the prison, followed Shi Jingtang, and the two returned to Shi Mansion together.
"The disciples of Tongwen Hall rumored that she was indeed a woman from Mobei, but when they spoke, everyone turned away and no one could hear clearly." Luo Xiaobei looked at Zhang Zifan in front of him, with a somewhat excited look on his face, He spoke.
He also began to perform tasks as a bad guy like his master Duan Chengtian. The first task was to monitor Mobei spies.
For Luo Xiaobei, who is now more immature and youthful than when Duan Chengtian died in his previous life, this is really... so cool!
"Well, Xiaobei, you did a great job." Zhang Zifan looked at Luo Xiaobei in front of him and praised.
With someone who has learned the silent art of delivering messages, it is indeed much more efficient than before.
"Can you please help me ask Tian Qiaoxing, Princess Mobei, how the trial went." Zhang Zifan looked at Luo Xiaobei, this energetic and motivated young man, and said.
"Okay!" When Luo Xiaobei heard this, he disappeared in a flash, leaving only Zhang Zifan alone. He calmly turned his attention to Shi Jingtang's mansion again.
…
Shu land.
In a valley.
Winding paths lead through dense forests into unknown depths. There are towering peaks on both sides of the valley. The peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, adding a layer of mystery to the entire scenery. A clear stream flows between the peaks, and the water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Along the stream, there are ancient stone bridges across it, connecting the woods on both sides.
The weather was good, the valley was lined with green trees, and the cool breeze was blowing, bringing coolness and comfort to people. The bright sun cast golden awns in the sky, and the trees in the valley gradually turned golden and red, like a gorgeous famous painting.
The vegetation is dense and surrounded by towering trees, casting bursts of green shade. The forest is dotted with various wildflowers and grasses, and birds sing happily on the branches. Occasionally, a small animal pokes its head out of the woods and observes everything around it curiously.
On the stone bridge, Youchuan was dressed in red, with white hair flowing. He put one hand behind his back and the other hand hanging by his side, staring at the scenery below the stone bridge.
He was thinking about Chi Meng...
'Are you still blaming me? '
Feeling the 'stone poison' in his body, although it was easy for him to undo the stone poison, but... he couldn't bear it.
'I'm sorry, I have to do this for Raojiang. 'Thinking of this, You Chuan shook his head and thought while firming up his mind.
It's just that he feels bitter in his heart, but he knows that there are some things that can deceive others but not himself.
Not long after, a goshawk flew towards Youchuan. Youchuan remained motionless and his expression remained unchanged. He raised his arm and let the goshawk land on his arm.
As the goshawk fell, several minions from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave wearing purple clothes, Miao swords on their waists, and masks came to Youchuan's side and knelt down on one knee.
"Young Priest Officer, we have discovered the way." One of the men from Ten Thousand Poison Cave said respectfully.
"All the countries in the Central Plains, I hope that the young priest will decide which direction we should move forward!" Another man from Ten Thousand Poison Cave looked at You Chuan and said with the same respect.
"Wu Guo." After hesitating for a moment, You Chuan said.
You Chuan is a calm person, and his actions and thinking are absolutely decisive when Chi Meng is not involved, and he moves forward completely in accordance with the maximization of the interests of the entire Raojiang.
He knew that Yuan Tiangang was terrifying, but in the end he only inferred based on Chi Li's reaction and the legend of living in Ten Thousand Poison Cave for many years. After all, when he asked Chi Li, Chi Li was unwilling to say more. So far, he himself has not He was beaten severely by Yuan Tiangang in any form.
In his eyes, Yuan Tiangang is the same legend as Twelve Cave. It sounds powerful, but in fact it may not be able to control so much.
Therefore, he now feels that to decide which camp Ten Thousand Poison Cave joins, one should look at what can be done to weaken the Central Plains forces to the greatest extent.
The Tang Dynasty in the north was at its peak, so even the weak could resist the strong.
More importantly, Raojiang is too weak. It is too weak to engage in distant relations and close attacks. In terms of size, it can only hope that the princes of the Central Plains will destroy each other and then benefit from it. This is why Chili in the previous life heard about the Xuanwu Sect. When Li Xingyun and Fake Li didn't start a fight, he said "it's a pity".
Raojiang is close to Shu, and the emperor of Shu, Wang Jian, has formed an alliance with Wu and Chu. They can see the winds in Shu along the way. If they go to the north, Raojiang will easily get burned.
You know, although Wang Jian's Shu Kingdom was not as good as Daliang, let alone Tang Dynasty, which annexed Qi Kingdom, successively captured Luoyang and Bianzhou, and forced Li Renfu to surrender to Tang Dynasty, it could still afford tens of thousands of cavalry.
As he made his decision, the gears of fate began to turn. For a moment, You Chuan started to worry about gains and losses, and he didn't know why.
"What's the matter, Young Priest Officer?" A man from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave looked at You Chuan in front of him. Seeing that his expression was not right, he looked at him with concern and asked.
"It's okay, it's just...
No problem. "You Chuan raised the hand that had been behind his back and put his fingers on his chest and heart.
He seemed to have lost something important to him.
'what is it then? ' You Chuan thought a little sadly.
…
Luo Xiaobei followed Zhang Zifan's instructions and came to Taiyuan Prison.
When the soldiers and delinquents guarding the prison along the way saw Zhang Zifan, they all clasped their fists and saluted him. After all, Luo Xiaobei was a disciple of Tiansuixing, one of the delinquent Tiangang's thirty-six national guardian gods. There were even rumors that he was about to be promoted. He was a bad guy, so these soldiers were very respectful to Luo Xiaobei.
But Luo Xiaobei himself just smiled shyly when he saw them saluting. He is very young now and has little knowledge or experience in these things.
