"A lot of people did come to Jingmen this time, because it will be the world meeting soon, all the people from the rivers and lakes from the north came to visit through the Jianlu, and some people just wanted to see the grand occasion when the sword was opened. Tianshui League, young leader Although Chiyin is a fledgling company, it has been very popular in the past two years, and he started activities in many places outside the middle of Shu half a year ago.
Yao Qing, who came back after listening to the news, frowned.
"As for Xuan Hesheng, Li Yan seems to like it over the years, and he has forged three swords for him. The sword that will be opened this time is said to be forged by Xuan Hesheng himself. He wants to come here. Yes, but it should be half a day slower than Chiyin."
"Gu Zhao won't come?"
The group of four didn't say a word, so they found an inn in the city to settle down. It was already night, and Shen Du sat in his upper room listening to Yao Qing's reply, and frowned slightly.
Yao Qing shook his head: "I haven't heard any news. I only heard that Pengshan sent someone to send a birthday gift, but Gu Zhao himself is still in Xiefeng Villa. It is said that he is injured and will be raised there."
Recuperate
This must be another guise to confuse the righteous people.
It's not that Shen Du doesn't know what kind of virtue Gu Zhao has, so he didn't take this sentence to heart at all, instead he thought about it—
The Tianshui Alliance in the middle of Shu is extremely powerful, but because of the natural dangers in the land of Shu, there is always one way to enter and exit, and it is not easy to expand outward, so it has been entrenched in the basin for many years. However, Chi Yin, the leader of the Young League, who suddenly appeared recently, was quite ambitious, and faintly wanted to compete with Gu Zhao in court. Therefore, Gu Zhao felt that this person was not pleasing to the eye, and he always wanted to get rid of him and then hurry up.
Now Chi Yin was about to come to Jianlu, but Gu Zhao was absent.
"The young leader of the Tianshui Alliance, Chi Yin, can be said to be the thorn in Gu Zhao's eyes. This time is really a coincidence. If there is a chance, if there is a chance, there may be some unexpected joy in the meeting."
Shen Du pondered for a moment, then laughed.
In those two long brows with deep hostility, there was a faint murderous intent.
Everyone knows that Shen Du and Gu Zhao are mortal enemies. After listening to it, most people think that he is going to borrow the pond drink to do something.
But at this moment, the other three people in the house are not easy.
Pei Wuji and Cui Hong put aside their thoughts for the time being. Yao Qing, who was originally simple-minded, was already heartbroken when he heard this.
She still remembered when she was intercepted and killed outside Bukong Mountain.
At that time, Cui Hong and her agreed to meet at a certain place, but she didn't expect to bump into the East Lake Sword Sect on the way, and the elder leading the other party kept saying that "Chi Shaomeng's magic plan", I knew it earlier. They will pass by here.
Where in the world is there such a coincidence
Yao Qing didn't know when Shen Du had been hidden in the dark, but she had memorized this sentence for a long time, and she always felt that there was a mystery that must be unraveled.
It's just that she didn't say it.
Listening to Shen Du's words now, it is clear in my heart: The Taoist should know the tricks here.
The upper room of the Xiaocheng Inn is naturally incomparable to the luxury and sophistication on the Tiantian Cliff. A bed is placed in the southeast corner, and the window on the side facing the street is opened, and the sound from the outside has gradually subsided.
Dim lights began to light up in the city.
Shen Du stood by the window and looked at it for a while before he said, "Let's all go down. I'll inquire about the situation in the city tomorrow morning, and I'll congratulate Old Li on his birthday."
"Yes."
The three of them had their own thoughts and stepped back.
"Squeak", the open door closed again.
After everyone left, he turned his eyes and stared at the two closed doors. The bottom of his eyes suddenly became gloomy, like the eve of a heavy rain.
That night, Shen Du couldn't sleep well.
He has always been extravagant in food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and it is easy to recognize the bed. The hard bed in the inn made his whole body aches. He finally slept next to his teeth and had dreams in the middle of the night.
That kind of hot dream that made him unable to live in peace.
Bamboo sea.
scriptures.
monk.
Ant.
His hand swam across the monk's chest, clinging to his neck like some evil demon, threatening him as if he had threatened anyone else before: "Bald donkey, don't you dare to come with me, I Then I stepped down the Tianji Temple, and then killed you..."
The monk's closed eyes suddenly opened.
The ten thousand zhang Buddha's light exploded, in the bottom of his eyes; but at the moment when he was watched by this gaze, he turned into a small ant.
The monk is gone.
The bamboo house is gone.
With only one hand holding a slender bamboo chopstick, he pressed him into a mass of mud and shattered his bones.
Shen Du woke up immediately.
He rolled over and sat up from the bed. The oil lamp in the room didn't go out. He looked up while breathing, and saw the scroll and Buddha beads that he had placed on the table.
The dim light shone like a bamboo hut that night.
It was his destiny to be haunted by nightmares.
Ever since he sat on the throne of the Demon Lord, he has not had a day without nightmares. Sometimes it is on the Tiantian Cliff, looking at the corpses of my parents, at a loss; sometimes it is under the cliff, hungry and cold, desperate and afraid...
It's the first time to dream of monks and ants.
After being stunned for a while, Shen Duxin mocked suddenly: It was probably the experience at the foot of the Bukong Mountain, which was extremely special to him, and it was too hard to forget, that's why he dreamed of it, right
After sitting on the bed for a while, he finally calmed down his breathing. I wanted to lie down and continue to sleep, but I couldn't sleep.
He simply put on his clothes and got up and stood by the window.
Reaching out and pulling, the window on the second floor opened a crack. Shen Du stood inside and looked out. It was already very deep at night, and he was afraid that it had been a few hours.
There is no moon in the ink, and the stars are hidden.
The four long streets are extremely neat, cutting the entire Jingmen City into four square-shaped areas. But at this moment, every street was clean, and there were no pedestrians in sight, except for some sounds from the Hualou restaurant in the distance.
At night, the wind is blowing, and it is slightly cold.
Shen Du stood in front of the window for a long time, just as he was waiting for the bright moon on the cliff to slowly climb up the rock wall many years ago on the Absolute Road of Jiantian Cliff, cold and quiet.
It's just that the night is too dark after all.
And it's not quiet.
About ugly, there was a crisp sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the long street. From far to near, it seemed that there were seven or eight horses.
Soon the sound of hoofs approached.
This group of people happened to pass under Shen Du's window by accident, so he saw it clearly.
Seven horses, each of which is an excellent horse of a thousand miles!
The three riders are on the left, the three are on the right, and they are all behind; the middle one is actually a good horse with pure black fur. The facial features are excellent, but the eyebrows are vaguely wild.
When riding the horse and whipping the whip, the jacket flew up, revealing a silver line meniscus mark.
Tianshui Alliance
Because this force is in the middle of Shu, it is far away from the Dao of Demons, and there has never been any conflict, so Shen Du has never seen people from this force on the rivers and lakes.
But he knew exactly what the emblem of each faction was.
This place, this hour, such a group of people...
What the identity of this person in the past is, you almost don’t need to think deeply to know: Except for Chi Yin, the young leader of the Tianshui Alliance, he should not be the second person to think about it.
However, it was too late for them to enter the city.
Shen Du's martial arts cultivation can be counted among the top ranks in the whole arena. With the skills of the following people, he could not find him standing upstairs.
So this group of people ran all the way and did not look back.
After the person left the street, the cold wind at night sent the faint bloody smell to his window.
- These people from the Tianshui League entered the city after killing people and getting blood on the outside.
He lifted his finger lightly and placed it on the edge of the window, and Shen Du's expression suddenly became a little unpredictable. He secretly pondered what happened on the way to the Tianshui Alliance, and for some reason he thought of Gu Zhao.
Intuitively, he felt that this matter had something to do with Gu Zhao.
It's just that Gu Zhao is not here now, even if he has some doubts in his heart, he can only hold it in his heart, and there is no way to verify it.
The Tianshui Alliance group had walked for more than two minutes.
Shen Du has been standing in front of the window without moving.
Until the ugly three quarters, there was a soft, almost inaudible sound of the door opening from a guest room on the second floor of the inn, followed by the sound of deliberately lowered footsteps. Wa quietly walked past.
The thin and cold lips suddenly opened a little.
The drowsy and icy night reflected in his drowsy and icy eyes, condensing into a kind of almost cruel pity.
He clearly had given Cui Hong a chance.
"But you, do you just want me to die..."
