A quarter of a second.
There was a faint hint of fish belly white on the horizon.
It was just before the moonlight faded and dawn was about to rise.
Shuzhou, Jiangjun Town, is built on the mountains.
If anyone is facing the mountains and looking towards Jiangjun Town at this moment, he will witness an extremely strange scene with his own eyes.
The bright moon is setting in the west, and the moonlight has just set on the other side of the mountain.
The "mountain shadow" that shouldn't be so obvious actually seems to have been magnified countless times. The long "mountain shadow" is like a pot lid, covering Jiangjun Town with darkness.
Covered by the "mountain shadow", the entire town seemed to have become a "city of shadows" and Jun Buxiao's home court.
The reason why he chose this place to "capture the stranger Feng Bei" was that Jun Buxiao had already figured out the direction of the falling moon's shadow, and with the help of the terrain and weather, he maximized the thaumaturgic effect of his "shadow play". .
At this moment, in General Town, for Ye Weiyang's side, it can be said that the time, location, people and people are all in their favour. Furthermore, Feng Bei, a foreigner who had never cared about him, suddenly became so interested in a strange and handsome man. It was like a hole in the solid dam, which made Feng Bei have concerns.
Feng Bei, who has scruples, seems to have a weakness. She is no longer invincible.
This is why Feng Bei has been serving in Ye Weiyang Middle School as "Shangxian San" for twenty years without any problems, but today, twenty-one years later, Weiyang finally attacks after twenty-one eve.
This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity!
No one knows that the ravens hovering throughout the land of Daqian are like the eyes of the "crowkeeper". Although it is impossible for the crowkeeper to see more clearly through the eyes of the raven, the Night Lord has already known The existence of the macho man Zheng Shan has also been paying attention to the direction of Feng Bei and his party after entering Shuzhou.
Jun Buxiao, who took full advantage of his "home field advantage", let the "shadow" cover the whole city.
Nowadays, the high shadow wall cut out by Jun Buxiao in the city is divided into independent spaces.
In December, Zheng Xiu fought against two Ye Weiyang alone.
Feng Bei, Chu Su Su, and Dou Xie were assigned to a group.
Not far away is Chu Susu's "orphanage". This is obviously not a coincidence, but intentional.
Feng Bei didn't know about Jun Buxiao's "shadow play" magic.
But that's not important.
Feng Bei has never bothered to think about the opponent's magical skills. Firstly, it's not necessary. Secondly, it's still unnecessary.
If one slap can't solve the problem, give it two slaps.
Always like this.
Feng Bei calmly took off his black silk gloves and threw them at his feet.
"As expected of Feng Bei, a foreigner. No matter what time, he is calm and unhurried. Tsk tsk..."
Xu Shu seemed to have forgotten that he was kneeling in front of Feng Bei to beg for mercy. At this moment, he smiled sneer, shook the heavy sword on his shoulder, and shook off the thick blood-stained gauze.
The edge of the heavy sword is cast with sharp teeth like sharp edges. It is more like a saw than a knife.
"Void Rat?"
Along the way, Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu had long suspected that Xu Shu was a mole. At this moment, something unexpected happened in the general town. Xu Shu showed his weapon. Feng Bei understood and nodded: "It is indeed you."
Chu Susu was stunned for a moment behind Feng Bei, then gritted her teeth and said angrily: "It's you!"
With Xu Shu's cruel expression, even if he turned into ashes and scattered them all over the floor, Chu Susu could still put them back.
Xu Shu's face was sinister, and deep hidden hatred and greed flashed in the depths of his eyes. He didn't look at Chu Susu at all, and stared at Feng Bei. He chuckled and said, "It's me. But, it's not just me. .”
One by one, the orphans walked out of the door one by one with dull eyes and weird stiff smiles on their faces, like zombies.
Ding!
The crisp ringtone broke the dead silence.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
"Come, come, come, don't be in a hurry, line up, everyone has a share, and no one is in vain."
Except for Chu Susu, the other fifteen orphans walked out in a daze and stood in a line obediently.
The person walking at the end was suddenly dressed in black clothes with cloud sleeves, and a black iron wooden order hung around his waist. The three words "Xiaxian Lu" were engraved on a prominent position on it. Hanging together with the black iron wooden order, there are two exquisitely crafted bells. As Xiexianlu steps forward, the two bells touch the belt and make a crisp sound of tinkling, tinkling, dong dong, which is particularly eye-catching.
"No!"
Seeing the orphans who were brothers and sisters with him, sharing the joys and sorrows with him, turned into this weird look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, I felt a dull pain in my chest. But Dou Xie's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He grabbed Chu Susu who was about to rush forward and said in a low voice: "Be careful!"
Chu Susu slapped Dou Xie's hand away in disgust, turned around, glared, and said angrily: "You guys are in the same group!"
Dou Xie opened his mouth with a look of astonishment, but was speechless and found it difficult to refute.
Whether it is in terms of clothing or position, they are indeed the same team.
Both belong to Ye Weiyang.
But why?
At this moment, even if Dou Xie scratched his scalp, he couldn't figure out what happened to lead to such a strange confrontation scene.
Feng Bei shook his long sleeves and blocked Chu Susu and Douxie with his arms, just about to say something. But in an instant, Feng Bei's words came to his lips, his eyes were slightly startled, and he quickly glanced at the nervous Dou Xie from the corner of his eye.
Everyone has their own reasons for entering Ye Weiyang.
Feng Bei doesn't know other people's reasons, doesn't care, it doesn't matter.
But her reason has always been to find Zheng Shan, who disappeared in Baili Village twenty years ago.
If you want to find Zheng Shan in the vast crowd, joining Ye Weiyang and relying on Ye Weiyang's intelligence is undoubtedly the fastest way.
Now, she found it.
The moment Feng Bei reunited with Zheng Shan, she lost the reason to stay in Ye Weiyang.
She knew from the beginning that the Night Lord didn't trust her. Feng Bei always said to herself in the dead of night: It doesn't matter, because she never surrendered her trust.
She knew that sooner or later she would leave Ye Weiyang.
What Feng Bei didn't expect was that this day would come so suddenly.
"It's okay, you guys, stand farther away."
Feng Bei smiled in relief. At this point, talking about "trust" or "distrust" can no longer change anything.
Instead, she felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground in her heart.
"It's our first meeting, so I'm a little nervous."
I saw the newcomer Xia Xian Lu, who seemed a bit reserved in front of Feng Bei. He adjusted his clothes with his right hand and his face straightened: "Ye Weiyang, Xia Xian Lu..."
But this serious look didn't last for a few seconds. The man with short hair and a messy chin suddenly touched his hair, with a look on his face, looked away and said with a smile: "I was promoted from Night Guard to Xiaxianlu not long ago. , Master Shangxuan San may not know me, but it doesn’t matter, I heard about Master Shangxuan San’s deeds countless times when I was at Night Guard.”
"Some people say that Master Shangxian San has a world-shattering horror hidden in his hands. Once his gloves are taken off, a city of one hundred thousand people will be wiped out. I once heard that Master Shangxian San master once slaughtered 100,000 people in a city with one person's power ten years ago. He built a town, hey, I don’t know if it’s true or not? I’ve heard of it before…”
The other party talked happily about "The Legend of Fengbei Massacre". Fengbei listened patiently to two paragraphs. On the third paragraph, he frowned slightly and interrupted the other party: "It's fake."
"Oh..." Lu Xian's beaming expression suddenly dropped, full of disappointment: "It turns out it's a fake..."
"Xiaxian Lu... Sir!" Xushu obviously had a lower status than Xiaxian Lu, but this "newcomer" who had just taken the position not long ago was promoted from the Night Guard to December. It was difficult for Xushu to feel respectful in his heart. Waves of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart, he gritted his teeth and shouted, then he cupped his hands towards Xia Xian Lu Gong: "Don't forget the business!"
"Look at how anxious you are, no wonder you're incompetent." The man muttered in a low voice, but the "quiet voice" was so loud that even Dou Xie standing farthest away could clearly hear it, and Xu Shu's face turned dark instantly.
Xia Xian Lu coughed twice, stretched out his hands, palms facing Feng Bei.
"Zhou Bazhi, as the name suggests, Zhou Bazhi has only eight fingers. He is not very talented and has never been good at fighting. However, he was appreciated by the Night Master and accidentally became the lower string." Zhou Bazhi flipped his palms with his palms. The back seemed to tell Feng Bei that he had nothing hidden in his hands.
Zhou Bazhi's two hands, one is missing the thumb and the other is missing the index finger. After fully displaying his hands, he smiled and said: "I was ignorant when I was young and had two fingers chopped off by my enemies, so now I don't like to fight and kill even more. Lord Shangxian San, don't think too much. I have been ordered to come to Shuzhou this time, just to convey a few words to Lord Xianxian on behalf of the Night Master, and there is absolutely no malice."
The virtual rat clenched his teeth. As he said not long ago, the thaumaturge followed the restrictions and rules and hid in the city. Xushu only knows that the Night Lord has sent a new "Xiaxian Lu". He only knows the characteristics of his "eight fingers", but he doesn't know what kind of path he takes or what kind of palm skills he uses.
Now that Xu Shu, who saw that Ba Zhi was not following common sense this week and had already revealed his weapons and was preparing to avenge the humiliation he had suffered at the time, his patience was gradually worn away and he was about to have an attack.
At this time, Xushu rarely suppressed his anger and reminded again: "Sir! We have to do business!"
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Zhou Bazhi pointed at the Xushu on the roof with trembling hands, his face changed greatly: "What are you doing? I said I don't like fighting and killing! Don't talk nonsense! Xiaoxingxu, you Believe it or not, I will go to the Night Lord tomorrow to sue you for slander? How dare you blatantly slander me in this bright and clear sky? I have already told you that I am here to deliver a few words. That’s all!”
After all, he was one of his own. Although Xu Shu showed his sword, many people knew that he was at odds with Feng Bei. Moreover, Xu Shu, Zhou Bazhi, Feng Bei, and Dou Xie are all from Ye Weiyang. Seeing Zhou Bazhi and Xu Shu scolding each other in the street, Dou Xie felt that he was completely stunned. He didn't know what the significance of Zhou Bazhi's sudden appearance was.
Although Feng Bei took off his gloves, the opponent did not come to kill him, so Feng Bei did not take action for the time being.
It’s not that Feng Bei is not decisive enough, but because Feng Bei knows in her heart that even she herself cannot control her “ominousness” and it is difficult for her subordinates to survive. Therefore, more often than not, Feng Bei likes to be passive and will only show up when the other party reveals it. Murderous, Fengbei had no choice but to fight back.
Perhaps Feng Bei's acting style is not bold enough in Zheng Xiu's opinion, but this is also Feng Bei's helplessness and the fear she has had towards her own hands over the years.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Zhou Ba pointed at Xu Shu and cursed a few times, making Xu Shu turn blue and speechless. Then he suddenly flicked his wrist, and a piece of red silk cloth appeared in his hand.
Dou Xie suddenly pulled out the textbook, looking wary.
Feng Bei took a step forward.
"slow!"
Zhou Bazhi said calmly, his eyes fell on the scroll tied tightly behind Feng Bei, and he said slowly: "I really came here to send a message, Sir Shang Xiansan, please don't misunderstand me. You see, I really don't know how to fight. "Zhou Ba pointed out that after seeing that Feng Bei made no next move, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Lord of the Night had a firm grasp of Feng Bei's character, so he had a certain degree of confidence in standing in front of Feng Bei without dying.
Zhou Bazhi covered his left hand with a red silk cloth and suddenly opened the cloth. A square wooden box appeared in his palm.
The movements of Zhou Bazhi’s hands seem to have nothing to do with the words on his lips:
"The Night Lord has a secret order, which is of great importance. I hope Lord Shangxian San will personally take it."
Feng Bei frowned and said, "Tell me."
Zhou Bazhi smiled even more: "The Lord of the Night hopes that Master Shangxian San can take the initiative to enter the ghost world in Gongsun Mo's scroll and rescue several Twenty-Eight Stars trapped in the ghost world. The Lord of the Night believes that no one else in Ye Weiyang is qualified for this task. The old man hopes that Master Shangxian can take action on the mission."
He emphasized the words "active" and "take action".
Dou Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "So that was the idea!"
Although he did not witness the strangeness of the scroll with his own eyes, Dou Xie was not stupid, and the other party was obviously prepared. Shangxian Si used a "shadow play" to blockade Jiangjun Town. This time, Ye Weiyang's behavior was full of weirdness. At this time, Dou Xie also After pondering the strange smell, he was just about to warn him when Xu Shu said coldly: "Dou Xie, don't forget your identity!"
Dou Xie blushed: "Fart! The Night Lord always uses raven to send messages, don't think I don't understand!"
Murderous intent appeared in Xushu's eyes: "If you don't believe it, just go to the Night Lord in person to verify it someday! Now, Twelve Yue has personally delivered the letter, and you still don't believe it. Who do you really think you are? Do you really want to betray me?" Ye Weiyang?"
"That's enough, shut up."
Feng Bei waved his hand and calmly suppressed the quarrel between the two.
She touched her waist, and around Feng Bei's waist were strung two pairs of masks that could be seen everywhere on the street, as well as the black iron wood order that symbolized Ye Weiyang's identity in December.
Feng Bei casually threw the "Shang Xian San" waist badge on the ground without any hesitation.
Chu Susu opened her mouth wide with shock on her face.
She had stolen this badge twice, which angered Feng Bei. Now Feng Bei has thrown away his belt at his feet without any attachment.
Feng Bei had no expression on his face and said, "What if I say... Feng Bei is unwilling."
"Then," Zhou Bazhi grinned, "that's why the Night Master asked me to come down here as a lobbyist. Don't worry, take a look at that person first."
Zhou Bazhi pointed with one finger at an orphan standing stupidly like a puppet.
The orphan walked out with a simple wooden board between his legs. With a click, his leg was broken again. However, there was no pain on this man's face, and he still had that stiff smile.
There was a cry in Chu Susu's voice: "Brother Ya!"
Zhou Ba pointed out: "I said, I have stolen his heart... Do you believe it?"
The silk cloth flew away. Zhou Ba flicked the silk cloth with his finger, and then he conjured up a small knife and inserted it into the wooden box.
laugh!
The orphan known as "Brother Ya", who was recently treated by a macho painter as an old doctor, suddenly fell down clutching his chest.
Zhou Bazhi opened the wooden box with a smile, the dagger passed through the box, and a bloody human heart was inserted inside!
After casually throwing away the pierced heart, Zhou Ba pointed his finger at the silk cloth again, this time he pointed at another person.
This time it was Pang Shengyun, the leader of the orphan group.
"I said, the box contains his heart, do you...still believe it?"
Feng Bei's expression was slightly startled.
Without waiting for Feng Bei to answer, Zhou Bazhi inserted the still-blood-stained dagger into the box.
Another "chi" sound came from inside.
Pang Shengyun fell in pain.
Before falling down, Pang Shengyun suddenly regained his consciousness, reached out his hand to Chu Susu in despair, and in a blink of an eye there was no sound, and his eyes dimmed.
Plop.
Chu Susu collapsed instantly and knelt on the ground slumped, staring blankly at the bodies of the two orphans, motionless.
I saw Zhou Ba's fingers shaking the silk cloth again, covering the bloody wooden box.
"court death."
Feng Bei took a step forward and a strong wind blew up. He pressed his palm towards Zhou Bazhi's door.
Seeing Feng Bei approaching, Zhou Bazhi said the third sentence calmly:
"I said, the box contains Zheng Shan's 'heart'."
Feng Bei's figure was like a black lightning.
But this bolt of lightning suddenly stopped in front of Zhou Bazhi. The ominous hand that could only destroy everything was very close to Zhou Bazhi's face.
Zhou Bazhi’s smile is evil and eerie.
"Do you believe it?"
