Ten years of holy blessing.

In the southern part of the Shengyuan Empire, looking across the Lingjiang River, a large area of ​​​​fiery red appears on the blue river opposite. The red and blue form a sharp contrast. Basically, ships passing by the Lingjiang River will be attracted by this piece of fire, which is like a ball on the water. Attracted by the fire, many people can't help but stop and watch. But no one dares to get close, just because there is a name that everyone fears in that red fire-like place: Changting Island.

Moreover, there lives a contemporary swordsman in Changting Island: Du Xun.

Changting Continent has two continents: North and South. Everyone can go up to the North Continent, but to get to the South Continent, you need to pass through a river that runs through Changting Continent. This river is called "Qinghe", but in the actual sense, Changting Continent is just the South Continent. From Beizhou, you can clearly see the long pavilion opposite. Behind the long pavilion is a large forest and bamboo forest, with green mountains and green waters, covering each other, making it as elegant and tranquil as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

There were people who tried to cross the infinitely wide Qinghe River to reach the opposite Nanzhou, but they all ended in failure. Whenever the ship reached the central area, the ship would be pulled into the bottom by the whirlpool that appeared for no reason. Changting Island has a radius of one mile. As long as a ship comes close to it, it will be swallowed up. Changting Island is known as the tomb of ships. Except for the contemporary sword masters, no one has really reached there.

Some people say that that is the formation arranged by Du Xun. He has retired from the world for many years. He does not want to interfere too much with the affairs of the world, and does not want people in the world to disturb him. Therefore, he arranged a formation around Changting Island to prevent All outsiders arrived. Some people said that they had seen traces of dragons emerging from the river, and the dragons were preventing outsiders from entering Changting Island. Some people even said that Changting Island had been like this since ancient times, and it was a strange natural phenomenon that was naturally formed. , and Sword Saint Capital Sou passed through that area entirely by relying on his own strength. There are different opinions, and perhaps only the people living in Changting Continent know the reason.

Compared with the uneven water surface within a mile of Changting Island, Changting Island is a peaceful and peaceful scene at the moment. Phoenix flowers are surrounded by the surrounding green bamboo forest, and the mottled shadows of the trees are reflected on the ground. The breeze blows and the light and shadow are charming. The attic. Like a hermit sitting there, enjoying the peace and tranquility provided by this area.

"Junior Brother Qingming! It seems that your swordsmanship has improved again!" A young man in a green shirt looked at the boy in white clothes opposite and said with a smile.

"It's just the little pastor brother who asked me to do it!" The boy in white touched the back of his head and responded sheepishly.

"Don't be modest. I feel the tremendous progress you make every day. In time, you will definitely surpass me!"

"The little pastor brother is joking!"

"I say yes. Although I have practiced five or six years more than you, Mr. Sir has spoken highly of your talent. I believe Mr.'s words!" The young man in green clothes put away the wooden sword in his hand and hugged the boy in white clothes. Shoulder said.

Just when the boy in white relaxed his guard, the Qingshan boy grabbed his waist and tried to throw him over his shoulder. Unexpectedly, the boy in white reacted so quickly and responded immediately. The two of them grabbed each other's shoulders, both of them. Looking for an opportunity to knock the opponent down. Even though the Qingshan boy is a head taller than the boy in white, the boy in Qingshan does not have the upper hand. The boy in white is no less powerful than him.

The two were in a stalemate like this for several minutes, and finally let go and lay down on the ground, both breathing heavily.

"Junior Brother Qingming, you are really a weirdo. At such a young age, you are as strong as me. It seems that I am six years older than you!"

The boy in white clothes was still breathing heavily and could not immediately respond to the boy in green shirt. The boy in green shirt didn't mind. He put his hands behind his head and looked at the light and shadow projected through the leaves and the red phoenix flower. Now

It was the season when the phoenix flowers were blooming, and the entire Changting Island seemed to be submerged in a sea of ​​fire.

The boy in white calmed down slightly and turned to look at the Qingshan boy next to him. He originally wanted to say something to him, but when he saw his eyes closed tightly, enjoying the sunlight, he put his hands behind his head and silently

I closed my eyes and listened carefully to the whispers of nature.

The boy in white is named Qing Ming, and the boy in green is the little shepherd boy who was with Dousou back then.

"I heard from my husband that after crossing the Qinghe River, we reach Beizhou, which is a place in contact with the outside world. Further north, there is a river called Lingjiang. The water level of the river is as gentle as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. It's good

If I want to take a look, even just one look will satisfy me!"

Xiao Mu opened his eyes, looked at the swaying tree shadows above his head and murmured to himself, as if he was narrating to Qing Ming beside him.

"My husband brought me here since I was a child. I have lived here with him since I can remember. I have treated him like a father." Xiao Mu paused for a moment and continued, "It has been six years now. I don't know what the outside world is like.

"

"Sir, the outside world is very chaotic, and it is safer to stay in Changting Continent. Does the little priest want to go to the opposite continent?" Qing Ming turned to look at the young man in green shirt next to him.

"Haha... I'm just joking. Even if I want to go out, I can't help it. After all, only by reaching the cultivation level of Mr. can I cross the Qinghe River!" Xiao Mu smiled, stood up, and dusted off the remaining dust on his body.

, looked at Qing Ming who was sitting up and said, "Junior brother Qing Ming, you are still young, you will also have this idea in the future! Let's go back to the attic and read a book!"

After saying that, he pulled Qing Ming and quickly ran towards the library near the attic.

I don't know when a fiery red flower has fallen behind me. The breeze blew by, and the flower fluttered in the wind. The bamboo forest next to it also made a rustling sound. Not far away, I could faintly hear the ringing of the wind chimes on the pavilion.

Located in the most prosperous imperial capital in the northern part of the empire.

On the bustling avenue, prison cars were escorted by soldiers to the execution ground one after another. They were surrounded by crowds of people who came to watch the excitement. Some people pointed at the people on the prison cars, and some people kept sighing, as if they were disapproving of the people on the prison cars.

Some people expressed regret, and some showed expressions of sadness and indignation, with lingering traces of tears on their faces.

This was the largest injustice case recorded in the history books of later generations in the Shengyuan Empire: the Shengyou Massacre.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the empire. Of course, the capital city at the foot of the emperor felt the turmoil from within the court for the first time.

The three people at the front of the execution ground were disheveled and disheveled. One of them shouted to the sky: "Only one step away! Just one step away! Han Quan, traitorous minister, cannot be tolerated by heaven. God is going to destroy the Holy Yuan!"

"Master Wang is unjust, Master Wang!"

Some people watching around were obviously excited and wanted to rush forward, but were stopped by soldiers holding spears to maintain order.

"Hey! Mr. Wang is a good official, how could he unite with the other two courtiers to murder the emperor!"

"Yes! Mr. Wang has always been considerate of the people and concerned about our sufferings. How could he do such a thing? Someone must have framed him!"

"But this is the emperor's personal decree!"

...

The surrounding crowd was noisy, and some wanted to take the opportunity to riot, but these soldiers were really powerful. Anyone who came out to make trouble was beaten to death on the spot. This shock effect temporarily suppressed the surrounding crowd who wanted to riot.

Just when the riot was about to subside, a group of men in black jumped out of the attic and jumped into the escort team. Upon seeing this, the soldiers who were about to escort the team quickly shouted: "Someone robbed the prison car! Someone robbed the prison car!"

There was chaos in the field. The people who were watching around them fled in all directions. The group of men in black were instantly surrounded by soldiers holding spears. At first, when facing these soldiers, the men in black seemed to be no one.

In this situation, those soldiers were no match for them. They looked at Mr. Wang’s prison car in front of them, but at this moment, many people in brocade uniforms suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the actions of the men in black

It was blocked immediately.

"No! The Suzaku protector is from the Shadowless Guard!" One of the men in black came to the front and said to the tall man in black.

The man in black, known as Suzaku, frowned quickly when he saw the man in brocade clothes appearing.

"It seems that they came well prepared. I didn't know that they were from the shadow of Xuanhuang." Seeing the man in black falling down continuously, the Suzaku protector gritted his teeth. He was only one step away from success. If he retreated just like that,

If so, then the mission to rescue Mr. Wang will be considered a failure.

He gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Rescue." The person next to him was obviously startled after hearing the order. Now they have completely fallen into the trap of the Shadowless Guard.

"But..." He wanted to say something more, but the Suzaku protector didn't hear him finish. He rushed to the front and fought with the Jin guards.

Just as Zhuque was about to approach the prison car, a cold sword suddenly pierced her throat. She turned over and dodged the sudden attack. When she saw the person opposite, her expression suddenly became extremely ugly: "The Disha Qiang Yun

Brand!"

"Huh? You actually know my name. It seems like you have a lot of background!" The man in brocade uniform was obviously startled, showing a slightly surprised look.

Just as Suzaku was about to retreat, his figure was instantly blocked.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave!"

Diying Qiang Yunlao struck Zhuque on the back with his palm. Zhuque was hit by the sudden blow and vomited blood and flew away.

"Fourth sister!"

When the people on the other side saw this, they fought off the guards around them and hugged Suzaku who fell to the ground.

"Second brother! It's... the person from the Shadowless Guard's Yingzhong Disha." After saying this, Suzaku fell into a coma.

"Fourth sister! Fourth sister!" No matter how he called the person in his arms, there was no response at all.

"It seems that Han Quan was underestimated in this operation!"

The Shadowless Guards are an organization affiliated to Han Quan, and are divided into upper shadows and lower shadows. The upper shadows have the two shadows of Heaven and Earth, and the lower shadows have the two shadows of Xuan Shui and Huang Sha. They thought that Han Quan would definitely send the two shadows of Xuan Huang out this time.

After all, the shadow of heaven and earth has never appeared.

He looked around and found that half of the companions who came to kidnap him had been lost. Looking towards the end of the avenue, some guards from the imperial city kept coming this way. If this continued, the entire army would be annihilated. He took something out of his arms.

A flute was played and the retreat sound was played. When the men in black heard the sound of the flute, they gathered together and hurriedly evacuated to the surrounding area.

"You take the Suzaku protector and retreat first, I will cover you!" After he finished speaking, he handed the Suzaku in his arms to a man in black beside him, and led some troops to the back to block the attacks from the Shadowless Guard and the bodyguards.

attack.

"Yes." The man took Suzaku and quickly joined the black team fading away like the tide.

Qiang Yunlao greeted the man in black who was leading the group with a palm. He was the leader of the group of men in black. After one move, Qiang Yunlao was knocked back. He couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect the skill of the man in front of him.

Just like myself, it seems that he has a good background, but I don't know which faction in the world he comes from.

The man in black on the opposite side was obviously shocked by Qiang Yun and took dozens of steps back. He was also horrified in his heart. He did not expect that the Shadowless Guard's Earth Shadow was so powerful.

Qiang Yunlao wanted to take action again, but the man on the opposite side set off a smoke bomb. When the smoke bomb dissipated, he disappeared into the street with several people around him. Qiang Yunlao narrowed his eyes and looked at the people who disappeared at the end.

The figure, without having to give any instructions, the people around him immediately chased after him.

Qiang Yunlao watched all this and did not pursue him, but turned around and headed towards the imperial city.
