This is an ordinary town, located in the center of the Great Wind Country. Like most areas in the Great Wind Country, the land here is dry and yellow, and the wind and sand are everywhere all the year round. But after so many years, they have gotten used to it. The town is very small, and there are very few permanent residents. There are only a few hundred households. Because of the excellent location, there are many people passing by every day. Therefore, the taverns and inns in the town are doing very well.
This is the best inn in this small town. Although the time is pointing towards the afternoon, there are still no empty seats, and everyone is talking loudly or quietly while eating and drinking. Sitting quietly by the small window of the inn was a man in a large gray robe and a round hat with a wide brim. Drinking by himself, even when drinking, he never raised his head. When everyone saw the eyes, they knew that this person must be extraordinary, but no one went to test it out. Even the Xiaoer here felt strange when he was close to him. After serving the food, he hurried away, not daring to do more stay. All kinds of people may appear here, and generally no one will offend strangers, especially those who act strangely—except for some whose brains are not fully developed.
"Have you heard that the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Tianlong Kingdom was robbed, and none of the guards and guards survived. What's even more bizarre is that the group of tomb robbers picked up the tomb from the sleeve of the yellow robe worn by Emperor Taizu. In the cracks, a secret imperial edict from Emperor Taizu was discovered, which stated that there was a treasure map hidden in an iron sword he left behind, and whoever can get the treasure will have enough wealth for the enemy's country overnight!" On a wine table near the mysterious person, one person said to another. The voice was neither loud nor low, and it was not deliberately lowered, and it was not something too confidential to think about.
The person opposite him didn't see anything unusual, took a sip of wine and said: "This incident was deliberately publicized, and there are not many people who don't know about it now. And judging from the reaction of the royal family of Tianlong Kingdom, this incident It seems that the matter is not fake, but I don't know who is so supernatural that he can steal the tomb of the emperor Taizu of Tianlong Kingdom silently. I don't know how many brave people tried before, but in the end they could only fall In the hands of the heavy guards."
"I heard that because of this incident, the Tianlong royal family was stolen several times, and I heard that the emperor of the Tianlong Kingdom is also looking for that iron sword. After so long, there is no special change in the Tianlong Kingdom. The sword is not in their hands. It is not known who will be lucky enough to get that wealth."
"It doesn't matter how much wealth you have, you have to spend it with your life. In contrast, I'm more interested in the theft of the jade seal from our Dafeng Kingdom and Kuishui Kingdom. After losing it for more than half a year, there is still no evidence Finding it back is indeed a great shame for our Dafeng Nation and Kuishui Nation."
"I heard that the theft of the imperial jade seals of the two countries was all done by the evil sect."
"That's right, this evil sect is really powerful and frightening. Not to mention that they treat the palace's heavy guards as nothing, and the imperial seals of each country are the most important things, and the places where they are placed are also extremely secretive. It was quietly taken away by them, and I don't know how they found it. Maybe it is really as omnipotent as the rumors. It is better to provoke the North and the South than to provoke the Xiezong. The massacre of the Huangfu family and the Baili family is blood. Ordinary lesson. And the master of the evil sect, the so-called 'evil emperor', is even more like a devil, alas... I feel trembling all over when I think about it."
"... I'm not like this. In our Great Wind Country, whoever mentions this name doesn't feel chills all over his body."
Bang, the wooden door of the inn was violently pushed open, a young man with a fair complexion, dressed in white, and stern eyes came in, followed by two men dressed as entourages, also with swords on their waists. The young man had a haughty look on his face, as if everyone was short by three points. After he came in, he happened to hear the conversation between the two, and let out a cold snort: "It's ridiculous, a mere evil emperor scares you so much Look, you won’t be ashamed if you say it.”
As soon as he said this, the inn, which was originally full of various conversations, suddenly became much quieter, and everyone looked at him like an idiot. With this man's attire, demeanor, and the ridiculously arrogant words just now, people can guess at a glance that this should be another son of a big family, and he is arrogant because of the family power, never The kind that puts others in the eyes and is extremely useless.
The two people who were talking just now glanced at him lightly, and one of them said disdainfully: "It's better to provoke the North and the South than the evil sect, and it's better to recruit the king of hell than the evil emperor. You are not very old, but you have a big tone."
Seeing that this person spoke to him in such a tone, the young man's face darkened, he sneered, and said: "In my eyes, the evil emperor is just a thief who hides his head and shows his tail, and dare not even show his true face. If I see him, I will kill him, and only trash like you can tremble with fear."
The faces of the two changed slightly, and the other raised his wine glass, squinted his eyes, and said flatly: "Shangguan Pingchuan really taught a good son. He can't learn 10% of his skills, but this arrogance is more than ten times better. You should be honest. Really put away your arrogance, the evil emperor is not something you can offend, if your words today reach the ears of the evil emperor, not to mention your father, even the entire Shangguan family will not want to save you. Even if the evil emperor kills you, your whole family wouldn't dare to fart." He finished speaking disdainfully, and then ignored him. From the sword on his back, he guessed that this person should be Shangguan Yun, the eldest son of the Shangguan family, one of the five great martial arts families in the Dafeng Kingdom. Unfortunately, he is a contemptible waste, and he is not even interested in talking to him now. .
"You, how do you know that my father is Shangguan Pingchuan?" The young man, that is, Shangguan Yun, was shocked.
But those two people ignored him, and didn't even look at him when he asked him. Shangguan Yun is not too stupid. Seeing that these two people still looked like this after knowing his identity, he knew that they must be very human, so he snorted coldly, suppressed his anger forcibly, raised his eyes and glanced at the inn, and then frowned Wrinkled, obviously dissatisfied with the simplicity of the place, he glanced at the position of the window, walked over, knocked on the table with the hilt of his sword, squinted and said: "Boy, I want this position, and let anyone who is sensible let me go." open it."
The person sitting at this table is the one in the toga and the wide cap. A mysterious man who has never shown his face. After Shangguan Yun's voice fell, he didn't raise his head, his eyes didn't tilt, he was still pouring his own drink there, as if he didn't hear what he was saying at all.
Seeing this posture, the little girl hastily stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, there are still two private seats upstairs, can you see if you can..."
"Shut up for me." Shangguan Yun snorted coldly, he had just suffocated his anger because of those two people, and now he was taking the opportunity to find someone to vent his anger on, and he said sullenly: "You are the only one who wants to You have already given yourself enough face by coming in, don't gossip about me here, this young master is going to sit in this seat today!"
That Xiao Er knew who should be provoked and who should not be provoked, so he didn't dare to persist. He glanced at the mysterious person, and he didn't dare to go forward to persuade him, so he had no choice but to obediently say: "Then the young master and this guest officer have a good discussion. Next, don't hurt your peace." After speaking, he hurriedly left to avoid being involved. How could he not see that this person seemed to be finding fault on purpose.
"Hey, my son told you to get out of the way, are you deaf!" A follower behind Shangguan Yun also stepped forward and shouted, kicking the leg of the table with his foot at the same time.
The mysterious man still treated them as if he had never heard of them. And his reaction, on the contrary, stimulated the anger that Shangguan Yun wanted to release even more, he said with a sinister smile: "Boy, don't think that I can't see that you are dressed so tightly on such a hot day. It must be some wanted criminal nearby. Even if these cowardly trash can be seen, they dare not let a fart go. If it falls into my hands today, you are considered unlucky! Dabao, take his hat off for me!"
The attendant called "Great Treasure" responded, took a step forward, and grabbed the wide hat that covered the face of the mysterious man, but just as he stretched out his hand, there was a miserable scream from his mouth, and the whole body The man sat paralyzed on the ground, holding his painful and almost numb right hand with his left hand, screaming heart-piercingly. His right hand was bleeding profusely, and a chopstick was sticking out of his palm. The long chopsticks were more than half buried, and no one could see exactly when and how the chopsticks were inserted into his palm, as if they had popped out of nowhere.
All eyes around were focused on this position, only the mysterious man remained as quiet as before, without any reaction.
Shangguan Yun suddenly felt a chill all over his body, he shivered involuntarily, then pulled out the Shangguan family's most precious willow jade sword, and stabbed the mysterious man with it.
Ping...
The sword just thrust out seemed to hit the incomparably hard black iron suddenly, and a counter-shock force that was many times stronger than the force he thrust out struck, causing Shangguan Yun to cry out in pain, and Liu Yujian flew out of his hand. Flying high, it landed on the ground a few meters behind him... Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the famous Gale Sword actually shattered into dozens of pieces when it landed. And next to the Broken Sword, there was an extra wooden chopstick, which was intact.
All eyes were on the mysterious man. Although he didn't make any movements from the beginning to the end, no one doubted that he was the one who made this astonishing blow. Destroying steel with wood requires at least a heavenly level of cultivation... Who is this mysterious man who hides his head and shows his tail
Shangguan Yun's hand holding the sword was shattered violently, and the blood was flowing. Only then did he truly realize that he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended. Ordinary wooden chopsticks shattered Liu Yujian, his family heirloom, and his strongest grandfather, the old head of the Shangguan family, could never be this person's opponent.
