At the entrance of Changqing Building, known as the first floor of Qingya City, the building owner Yao Zuo folded his sleeves and led several stewards of Changqing Building to wait quietly amidst the sound of firecrackers.
The night wind in the twelfth lunar month was quite biting, and it wasn't obvious when I was playing around. But standing there so quietly made these deacons frown, but they dared not say anything in anger. The deacons looked at the back of the landlord in confusion, what was it? Such a big shot is coming, and the host of the show is treating him so seriously.
You know, the owner of the building, Yao Zuo, has connections in the court. Usually, even if the city lord of Qingya City comes, he will just prepare tea in the building to wait for him.
In the distance of the street, an old donkey cart gradually approached with laborious steps.
On the donkey cart is a man wearing a cloak. His face is covered and cannot be seen, but his figure is uneven and has amazing curves.
The donkey cart stopped outside Changqing Tower, and the person on the cart said coldly: "What are so many people blocking here? Get out of the way!"
"How dare you, what kind of status does our building owner have that you can yell at?" A steward of Changqing Building shouted angrily.
With a "pop" sound, Yao Zuo, the owner of Changqing Building, turned around and slapped the crowd away under the puzzled eyes of the stewards. He led the woman who jumped off the donkey cart quickly into the building alone.
The main entrance of Evergreen Tower leads straight to the interior, where there are performances by singers, dancers, etc., as well as musical instruments, storytellers, etc. It can be said that the elites from all walks of life that can be found in Qingya City are concentrated in it to provide services. , extremely high specifications.
However, the dignitaries and heroes who usually come in and out of Changqing Tower did not know that there was actually a secret door on the left side of the door. At this moment, Yao Zuo opened it and led the mysterious man into it.
Walking along the secret corridor, you soon entered a brightly lit underground hall.
There was a long stone table in the middle of the hall, surrounded by more than a dozen seats. After the mysterious man arrived, he directly picked a seat to sit on, and Yao Zuo sat opposite.
"Is the news accurate? The Sun-Chasing Sect has sent a hundred elite disciples this time, and one of the five arenas in each city has been arranged. So is it really the Qingya City arena that Yijue chose?" the mysterious man asked directly. .
"I got the news from the city lord. Princess Yunxia's secret letter has arrived at the city lord's mansion not long ago." Yao Zuo replied.
The mysterious man's fingers began to tap the surface of the stone table rhythmically, and he pondered for a moment: "Yao Zuo, you have been based in Qingya City for many years, do you have any opinions?"
Yao Zuo smiled when he heard this and said, "Originally, I didn't have one, but by chance, I did have an opinion today."
"No need to worry, but it doesn't matter!" the mysterious man said.
Yao Zuo slowly took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, which was sent by some spies arranged in the city.
The mysterious man took the letter and frowned as he looked at it: "Kunlun disciple Yun Tianfeng and his party came to Qingya City? This matter is indeed worthy of attention, but what is the connection with this matter?"
"It has a lot to do with it." Yao Zuo chuckled and said: "My lord, you don't know. The sun-chasing Zong Yijue and the girl next to this Kunlun disciple fought against each other. Both sides were hurt. They have long had a grudge against each other. If they were to take action, it would be inevitable. It’s safer than doing it ourselves, Princess Yunxia’s eyes and ears have to be on guard.”
The mysterious man was thoughtful.
Yao Zuo continued: "Princess Yunxia's mother, Concubine Yun, was born in the Sun-Chasing Sect and was also Yi Jue's aunt. It is not that your Majesty has never given birth to other children in recent years, but they all suffered at the hands of Concubine Yun. Although your Majesty understands in your heart, you can't. But I couldn't put this matter on the table, and I became depressed and ill because of it. The Sun-Chasing Sect wanted to plot against me, and the Yunxia Dynasty also made it difficult for Your Majesty to sleep and eat. We must be careful every step we take and not be exposed prematurely."
"How to get the Kunlun disciples to take action?" the mysterious man asked.
"We don't need to worry. Once the fireworks arena starts, Kunlun disciples will definitely not miss the opportunity to cause trouble for Yi Jue. It's just hard to say whether he will kill Yi Jue."
The two discussed for a while, and Yao Zuo left quickly in order not to arouse others' suspicion. He also had to deal with other members of the organization and could not stay in the underground palace for too long.
When he was the only one left in the underground palace, the mysterious man lifted up his cloak and hat, revealing a delicate face, with willow-leaf eyebrows like knives, red-phoenix eyes like fire, and a deep gaze despite his age.
"Kunlun, the legendary holy land in the world, what will the man who comes out of there look like? Does he have three eyes and six arms?"
The woman thought for a moment, then took out some rouge and gouache from the storage bag hanging at her waist to apply makeup, and then put on a pair of coarse clothes. A pockmarked girl in her late teens walked out of the underground palace and entered the bustling night market.
…
In the corner of the second floor of the restaurant near the arena, a slovenly middle-aged man lay on the table and sighed, his eyes wandering. For everyone who passed by his field of vision, the first place he glanced at must be the waist. money bag.
In fact, although this restaurant is not as good as Evergreen House, it is still one of the best in the city. The waiter cannot just let in someone who looks like a homeless person or a beggar, but there seems to be no one on the entire second floor. Who noticed that there was a person like him?
After eating the roast chicken that he didn't know which table he came from, and drinking the few drinks he had brought with him, the man inserted his hands into the belt of his ragged trousers and walked to the wine table by the window.
"Squeeze inside!"
The slovenly man didn't show any disbelief at all. He pushed the young man on the bench to the inside with his butt. Then he sat down, took the young man's chopsticks and started to eat.
Everyone at the table was stunned, what is going on?
It can’t be Wang Xiaoliu again, right?
Everyone knows the young man's strength. It has been more than half a month since he broke through to the fourth realm. In terms of strength and physical strength, ordinary people can't squeeze through this. The identity of the sloppy man is confusing.
"What are you looking at me for? Eat!" The sloppy man seemed to think it was not fun to eat alone, so he actively invited everyone to use their chopsticks.
"Who are you?" Murong Yu narrowed her eyes and stared at the man, her right hand already quietly holding the hilt of the Chonglou sword.
"who I am?"
The sloppy man frowned and thought for a while. He seemed to feel that he had no suitable words to explain and prove, so he smiled slightly. No one could see how he moved. The whole table shook for an instant, and then there was a 'bang' and a heavy blow. The sword had been placed on the table in front of him.
"Huh?" He just did it casually, but after a quick glance, the slovenly man's eyes were attracted to the heavy sword, and he exclaimed.
"It's my Chonglou, how could it be..." Murong Yu glared angrily and wanted to flip the table.
Yun Tianfeng quickly stood up and stopped Murong Yu. He looked solemnly at the man beside him and said word by word: "Qianjueshou?"
"You are not stupid. Why don't you quickly order some good food to show your respect to your senior brother when you see him? Do you know how to be polite?" The sloppy man raised his eyebrows. He also didn't see his movement. The heavy sword and the heavy building had returned to Murong Yu. hands.
Murong Yu had a puzzled look on his face, and slowly sat down under the instructions from Yun Tianfeng's eyes. Jiang Chuyao beside him quickly handed Murong Yu a sachet from under the table, indicating to Murong Yu to look at it and put it between his mouth and nose. , so as not to be smoked by the strong smell of this sloppy man.
Yun Tianfeng was doubtful. He was taught the [Thousand Jue Secret Code] by a mysterious person in the City of No Return. Until now, he still didn’t know which sect’s supreme book it was. He didn’t even know who his master was. He was even just a name. Disciples, let alone whether they have any senior brothers or sisters, that is even more unknown.
But no matter what, the person in front of me has reached a state of perfection in Qian Jue Shou, and there is no way he could steal his master halfway.
"I wonder what you call me, senior brother?" Yun Tianfeng kept a slight distance from the man, and it did sound a bit high.
"The name... let me think about it... it doesn't sound nice. You guys can either call me Senior Brother or Messenger, which is pretty much the same."
"Messenger? Senior brother, this name is very special."
"It's so damn special. It's just that Qian Juebu can run very fast. Many people always pay a lot of money to ask me to help them send their hearts. As time goes by, everyone calls me the messenger."
Jiang Chuyao chuckled and joked: "This... senior brother runs very fast? Faster than a flying sword that delivers messages?"
The man chuckled and said that the little girl had good vision, and that he was not only faster than a flying sword, but even faster than light.
Jiang Chuyao was happy and asked how fast it was faster than light.
The man smiled and said nothing.
Yun Tianfeng asked the 'senior brother' who came to his door what the name of the sect was and where the sect was.
Normally, the big forces in the world are very concerned about the inheritance of Taoism. Most people can only worship one Taoism in their lifetime, and it is impossible to be in two boats.
But there is also a default exception, that is, registered disciples and unnamed disciples can learn from other masters, and can barely be regarded as one of the successors of the other party's Taoism, but they cannot be regarded as orthodox, similar to the offerings and offerings on the mountain. Guest, there is a difference between you and the elder protector after all.
"Sect? What sect? We are from the same lineage, and we haven't established a sect, so how can we have a sect?" The man curled his lips, and after just a few words of conversation, the table was already filled with empty plates.
The man murmured in his heart, you are the descendant of the old man from Kunlun. The current Lord of Kunlun is still the leader of the righteous path in name. It would be okay if you know that what you learned is for stealing. I am the one who told you.
A few people chatted and gradually became familiar with each other, but as the sudden commotion outside the window attracted everyone's attention.
Across the street from the restaurant, there were densely packed wooden stakes with lanterns hanging on them, and in the middle of the many wooden stakes, there were five arenas with all kinds of paper-cuts hanging on them.
At this moment, with a string of deafening large firecrackers crackling loudly, the annual fireworks competition officially began.
"Dear fellow villagers, the arena competition has entered the official schedule today. There are five arenas. Today, the maximum number of people who can win consecutively is 20 people. Five of them will get the opportunity to go to the capital to participate in the imperial city competition. The other 15 people will also be reused by the city lord's palace. But There is a hero who wants to be the first to defend the ring?"
The host from the City Lord's Mansion, who was in charge of the registrar's office, spoke loudly, and immediately several people sprang out from the crowd and came on stage one after another.
Yun Tianfeng and his party looked around in the crowd, trying to identify where the Sun Chasers were.
