Since the past two days, the weather has been unpredictable.
It's sunny sometimes and snowy sometimes.
Snow can stay on the ground for three to five days, and new snow will be added before it melts.
Snowflakes began to fall at Xu time.
By this time, about half an inch had accumulated on the ground.
When your feet step on the snow, you can make an extremely subtle and soft sound.
Two people came.
The leader is a burly man.
He is dressed in black and wears a black cloak. What is particularly eye-catching is his sword...
His sword is very long.
A normal sword is about three feet, but this man's sword is nearly five feet.
He did not hang such a long sword on his waist, but carried it on his back.
There is a red gem embedded on the sword. Under the night, the shimmering light shines, making it look extremely dazzling.
Next to him was a man who looked a little thin.
His hair is gray and mixed, not much, and he looks a little reserved.
After arriving in the yard, he glanced around and said:
"Is... anyone home?
"We, we are here to kill people."
As soon as these words came out, the man beside him gave him a helpless look:
"Brother Qi, can you have a tougher tone? We are here to kill people, not thieves. What are you talking about?"
Brother Qi straightened his back, and then whispered:
"I...I'm not false...I'm just...well...just...a little embarrassed.
"After all, coming to kill someone is not an honorable thing.
"What's more, those killed today were an old man and a young man. The old man was sick and disabled, and even though the young man was young and strong, the two old men... bullying the young ones with the big one, also kind of lost our identity.
"So...so..."
"Then let's go?"
The man asked with a dark face.
"Hey, forget it."
The abandoned brother sighed:
"With this calculation in mind, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"If you don't take advantage of this moment to kill him.
"From now on, let's prepare to flee to the end of the world.
"Although I don't want to bully the small with the big, and I don't want to win without force, but I don't want to live in exile..."
As he spoke, a creaking sound was heard.
When I looked up, I saw that the door to the room in front of me had been opened.
Jiang Ran pushed the old drunkard and walked out of the room.
Brother Qi glanced at Jiang Ran, there seemed to be some confusion in his eyes, and he let out a breath:
"What a heroic young man.
"If the Lord can win his loyalty... he can protect my palace in heaven for a hundred years after I die."
"I heard that all those who had such thoughts died under his sword."
The man sneered:
"Don't be stupid at the critical moment."
"Why……"
The abandoned brother sighed again: "Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten..."
Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel a little weird when he heard these two people talking:
"Is this Qi Tianyue?"
The old drunkard nodded:
"Yes, he is Qi Tianyue! How do you feel?"
"The illusion is a bit disillusioned."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I originally thought that Qi Tianyue should be a very cold and arrogant person. Although I heard the owner of Zuodao Village say before that Qi Tianyue would not lie to his face, but I never expected that he would be like this.
people."
"Who says I can't lie?"
Qi Tianyue seemed to be greatly insulted when Jiang Ran said this.
I couldn't help but raise my head and argue with Jiang Ran:
"It's just...it's just a gentleman's word. How can...how can he lie to others in person?"
"So your honor likes to lie to people behind their backs?"
Jiang Ran's expression became even weirder.
Qi Tianyue was submissive for a moment, and then said:
"Don't you hear...the gentleman is far away from the chef..."
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he meant.
Seeing his life, he cannot bear to see his death, and hearing his voice, he cannot bear to eat his flesh. Therefore, a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen.
What Qi Tianyue said is that when I see you, I can't bear to lie to you... but when I can't see you, I can lie with peace of mind.
It's obviously a fallacy, but it somehow makes sense.
Jiang Ran almost laughed angrily, nodded and said:
"Qi Youzun is really not an ordinary person...Jiang has learned a lesson."
"Ah, haha, where is it?"
Qi Tianyue quickly clasped her fists.
I heard the man in black next to him say with a dark face:
"Do you think he is complimenting you?"
"Isn't it?"
Qi Tianyue glanced at the man in black in confusion.
The man in black sighed:
"Do you know why you can only be ranked on the right side instead of the left side even though your martial arts skills are not inferior to mine and your intelligence is a hundred times better than mine?"
"I know."
Qi Tianyue said:
"With my character, if I were Zuo Zun, I'm afraid it would be difficult for people within the family to trust me... Especially when doing things in person, it would be even harder to win people's trust."
"That is to say, the Lord saw that you were unusual, so he forcibly elevated you to the position of Right Lord.
"Otherwise... no one would have imagined that you are actually a wise man who can manipulate the world at your fingertips."
Sometimes, the man in black thinks that the most terrifying time is when this person is behind closed doors.
Everything in the world is a chess piece in his hands. You can't see his face, only the notes and letters he sent out.
You can feel the power of this person from between the lines.
But once you see the face... it's over.
Even though I knew he was very powerful, I still couldn't believe it.
This gave the man in black a sense of enlightenment...
It's not that Qi Tianyue can't lie to people's faces...his face and his character are the biggest lies.
Jiang Ran looked at the man in black, and then asked the old drunkard:
"Is this Zuo Zun?"
"That's right."
The old drunkard nodded:
"Sikong Ming, the Zuo Zun of the Heavenly Palace.
"I didn't expect that to deal with a dying and seriously injured old drunkard like me, the two men on my left and right would personally take action.
"It can be said that... it is a labor of love and a great effort."
"No no no."
Qi Tianyue quickly shook her head:
"A sword made a hundred years ago was the second best in the world.
"A knife created a hundred years later, although it does not have the title of number one, is the sharpest knife in this century.
"Twenty years ago, with this knife, you broke into Zuodaozhuang, Poison God Valley, Huanshi Hailou... Wherever you passed, no one could stop you.
"Especially the Huanshihai Tower, the martial arts of its owner is so high, there are rumors that it is as high as that of Chu Nanfeng in the past.
"But I still ask you to go into the sea with your sword and come back the next day.
"At this point, Huanshi Hailou faded out of the world.
"For this reason, no matter how badly you were injured, we must act cautiously today and never be careless.
"After all, neither of us is sure that we can take a fatal blow from the Trapped Beast's Knife."
"good."
The old drunkard nodded slightly, then slowly raised his head.
At this moment, Jiang Ran felt a sharp edge rising from all over the old drunkard's body.
The snowflakes floating in the air were split into two parts silently and without leaving a trace.
The whole world seemed to have stopped.
Si Kongming suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Qi Tianyue.
A flash of deathly gray flashed in his eyes. Although there was no glimmer of light, the three feet in front of him were used as a boundary. Behind him, snowflakes fell normally.
Just listen to the old drunkard slowly speaking, and there is a faint sound of fighting in his voice:
"Now that I know that I still have the courage to fight to the death.
"Which one of you two will come forward to lead you to death?"
Every time he said a word, the three-foot limit in front of Sikong Ming moved back one point.
Wait until these two sentences are finished.
The sword behind Sikong Ming suddenly came out of its sheath, its sharp edge flashed far beyond the starlight, buzzing, the long sword spun in mid-air, and finally fell to the ground suddenly.
Bang!
The sword blade was inserted less than a foot in front of him.
He stretched out his hand to touch the hilt of the sword, but when he stretched out his hand, he did not grab the sword.
There were big drops of sweat pouring out from the corners of his eyebrows and forehead.
The deathly gray color in his eyes became even thicker, staring at the old drunkard.
If something goes wrong, I have the urge to turn around and run away.
Jiang Ranze's eyes were filled with waves. With such a gesture, wasn't he afraid of frightening these two people away?
As soon as his mind changed, he already understood the old drunkard's intention.
Immediately, a hand slowly pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist.
…
…
Under the cover of night, there was no sound in the black water forest.
It was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the leaves.
Tang Huayi held Jiang Ran's face, followed by a group of disciples of the Seven Sects and masters of the Demon Cult.
Now the two are in extreme harmony...
After all, in the eyes of the Seven Factions, these people are all friends of Daxia Jiang Ran and Jiang, and they joined forces to eradicate Tianshangque in order to maintain the stability of the world and the peace of the world.
Therefore, they have a good impression of the Demon Cult people.
If the situation wasn't right now, I would have wanted to talk to them more.
Tang Yuanwai changed his clothes and his face also changed. He had a beard on his face, his waist was wide and his body was fat. Now he looked like a bandit who came down from the mountain.
If this is paired with a large golden ring knife...
I probably didn't take a few steps on the street before I was picked up by an officer.
He was very close to Tang Huayi and said softly:
"Isn't it time to take action?"
They have been lying in wait outside the manor in the Black Water Forest for a long time.
Tang Huayi never gave the instruction to take action.
Her eyes first passed over the plaque of the manor in front of her, which had three big characters written on it: Blackwater Manor.
The name is obviously taken from local materials.
Qi Tianyue's thoughts were obviously spent on dealing with the old drunkard, and he didn't care about the plaque or name of the manor at all.
Judging from the traces of materials in this manor, they are all locally sourced.
This is what big forces and big organizations can do.
A small team of three or five would be too exhausted to create such a large battle.
After hearing what Tang Yuanwai said, Tang Huayi shook his head gently:
"Wait a moment..."
Officer Tang didn't know what Tang Huayi was waiting for, but he didn't continue to press on because of his father's name.
He always felt that something was different after Tang Huayi came back this time.
The daughter-in-law is more like her father. Tang Yuanwai actually knows very well that Tang Huayi is very smart.
She is clever and ever-changing, and can draw inferences from one instance to another. Although she is not as good as Tang Shiqing, who is the number one genius in the Demon Sect in thousands of years, she should not be underestimated.
Tang Huayi didn't even care about this.
She is the youngest daughter in the family, and she has always shown her teeth and claws, relying on the love of her parents and the care of her sister, and living a very careless life.
Therefore, most of the things he does are nonsense.
But after Tang Huayi came back from this trip, his whole person changed.
There are still areas of nonsense in his character, but they are rarely shown.
I feel a little more calm and my mind is more flexible.
He didn't even react to what Jiang Ran said during the meal this morning, but Tang Huayi not only understood everything, but also saw Jiang Ran's intention, and even added his own to it.
Ambition.
This made Tang Yuanwai feel inexplicably emotional:
"The only person who can make a little girl grow up is a man.
"It's just that both sisters fell into the hands of the young master. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
He felt that this matter was naturally a mixed bag of good and bad.
The good thing is that the young master has a favor for his two daughters, which is something you can't even ask for.
Secondly, the two sisters will be able to take care of each other in the future together.
It won't cause a fire in the backyard... Even if the young master has a group of wives and concubines in the future, there is no need to worry about them being bullied.
As for the disadvantages...
Tang Yuanwai thought about it carefully and found that apart from his married wife's slight criticism, there seemed to be no harm in it.
While he was thinking wildly, he heard a person not far away from Tang Huayi suddenly move.
Then the man came to Tang Huayi:
"Sir, you are ready."
Tang Huayi smiled:
"That's good...that's almost enough..."
As she finished speaking, Tang Shiqing suddenly took her hand gently and squeezed it.
Tang Huayi was stunned. Although to outsiders, it was Tang Shiqing who suddenly grabbed Jiang Ran's hand, which caught people off guard, and some people subconsciously turned away, not to be disrespectful.
But the two sisters have the same mind and have had some communication invisibly.
"Wait a minute...someone is coming."
Tang Huayi suddenly spoke softly.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
Even the internal strength of Tang Yuan is far inferior to that of Tang Shiqing.
After a while, I finally noticed it.
But only vaguely.
At this time, people's figures could already be seen flickering in their eyes.
This man... turned out to be like a ghostly shadow. Even though he was clearly standing in front of his eyes, it gave people an illusion that he was both real and illusory.
Tang Huayi squeezed Tang Shiqing's hand in an instant.
As a demon witch, Tang Huayi has a fatal weakness...
She is afraid of ghosts!
Even if someone was pretending to be a ghost, she couldn't help but be scared when she saw it.
But now she is pretending to be Jiang Ran!
The fear of ghosts cannot be exposed under any circumstances.
Otherwise, the legends of the world, the shocking sword Jiang Ran, the fear of ghosts and gods... would be very lively.
In the future, I don’t know how many pretenders will come around and show off their power in front of Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran naturally came to kill one by one, but what should she, Tang Huayi, do?
She was afraid that before Jiang Ran could kill all these people, she would be so scared that she would hide under Jiang Ran's bed every day.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth gently and warned herself...this is a human being, this is definitely a human being, don't scare yourself!
But at this moment, for some unknown reason, the phantom suddenly turned back and glanced in the direction where they were.
A ferocious grimace appeared in front of everyone.
Among the seven sects, some even subconsciously exclaimed.
But he quickly covered his mouth.
When I took a closer look, I realized that it was not a ghost face on my face... but a ghost mask on my face.
Under the mask is a pair of pale eyes.
But, whose eyes are pale?
Tang Huayi was frightened when a person suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Master Wuxin..."
The next moment, Master Wuxin reached out a hand.
The door of Heishui Manor, which had not been touched by the palm of his hand, was still three inches away when the door seemed to bear an unbearable weight.
The entire door suddenly dented inward, and with a bang, it shattered into a sky full of sawdust.
Whoosh whoosh!!
The wood chips were like arrows, turning into a rain of arrows all over the sky. The disciples of Tianshangque who were about to go back to investigate when they heard the sound were pierced by thousands of arrows in an instant, killing and wounding them in pieces.
The masters of Tianshangque inside the building showed up one after another to check, but when they came to the door, Master Wuxin was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Huayi made a gesture and told everyone not to show up yet.
I saw a few people from Tianshangque who were about to go out to investigate, when a phantom quietly appeared behind them.
The man grabbed it casually and inserted his five fingers into his body, as if he had pierced tofu. When he pulled it out, there was already a heart in his palm.
Hearing the sound, several people immediately turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind them except the bodies on the ground.
Feeling frightened for a moment, one of them wanted to issue a warning, but only felt a tightness in his neck.
He was turned around involuntarily, and when he took a closer look, he saw a pair of indifferent and pale eyes.
I don't know why, but when our eyes meet, I feel guilty.
His eyes rolled in his sockets and he looked around subconsciously.
However, he discovered that all the disciples of Tianshangque who came out with him had died on the spot without a trace...
When his thoughts turned to this point, he felt a soft click on his neck, and then he didn't know anything else.
The body was thrown carelessly on the ground.
The Wuxin Palace Master wearing a ghost mask looked back at the hiding place where Tang Huayi and others were hiding, then turned around and entered Heishui Manor.
This man is so arrogant, he doesn't speak, he doesn't speak, he just kills people.
There was such a big movement in front of the door, and the inside of Heishui Manor naturally boiled.
Experts rushed out one after another, and when they saw the Wuxin Palace Master alone, they surrounded him from all directions, wanting to attack and kill him.
It's a pity that no matter how many people there are or how high the martial arts is, Master Wuxin can take away a life with just a touch of his hand, and a human heart with just a poke of five fingers.
This person seems to be wandering around his back garden, picking and doing whatever he wants.
In just a moment, the ground was already littered with corpses.
Suddenly, an angry shout sounded:
"Who is so bold? Dare to break into my heavenly palace!?"
I saw a person coming from the sky and flying to the roof of a building.
This man was dressed in light green clothes. Tang Huayi recognized him at a glance from a distance.
This person is the leader of the Qingmen Sect.
That night on the Xintian Tower, among the masters of the Heaven Palace, there was this person.
But now, the Qingmen Sect Master lowered his head and the angry look on his face suddenly turned into a look of horror:
"It's you!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, completely ignoring the disciples of Tianshang Que who were still being killed.
Panic is like a bereaved dog, anxiety is like a fish slipping through the net.
At this moment, Palace Master Wuxin suddenly raised his hand and spoke for the first time, but it was a woman's voice:
