The sound was ethereal, as if coming from all directions.
But it's clearly audible, as if it's close to your ears.
The voice was pleasant, gentle and slightly hoarse, and it should have made people feel comfortable listening to it.
There was a hint of teasing in his tone, which sounded downright creepy in this quiet place.
He Lei tilted his head and faced an alleyway ahead.
There were many people with keen insights in the field, but none of them noticed that there was someone there.
At least when everyone looked towards the alley entrance, there was no one there yet.
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on each other, a figure walked out of the middle.
This man also walked very slowly, but his steps were silent, with no water splashing or mud, and no traces on the ground.
This person's Qinggong may not necessarily be good, but his internal strength must be extremely powerful, so that he can become a whole in his movements without being disturbed by external objects.
There is no light in the dark night.
Compared with He Lei's huge target, it is not difficult to distinguish his general appearance and clothing.
This man seemed to blend in with the night, and it was difficult to see clearly what his face was and how old he was.
If someone hadn't heard it before seeing him, no one would have dared to make a conclusion based on his tall figure alone.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that this man is wearing a black cloak in addition to his black brocade robe.
On his head is an extremely rare mysterious hat with a high top and round brim.
Such attire will seem to be shrouded in the night, or to coexist with the night.
The protruding brim of the hat covered most of the man's face, and only the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted up, with a kindly smile on his lips, and a neat beard on the left and right.
People who don't know his name are like Chushangu and Xiaohua, so naturally there is no way to know who this person is.
And anyone who knows the names of the fourteen villains in Jianghu, even if they can't identify the person based on their clothes, can already infer who the person is from He Lei's name of "Old Huang".
——Huang Qingxuan.
This name should be like He Lei, a person who teaches people in the world like thunder.
During the years when the Fourteen Villains were at their peak, some good people made a ranking of the strength displayed by the Fourteen Villains.
Yu Dazui is the weakest in terms of meat slaughter.
The former are the flower thief Li Chi, the strange old man Ke Baixie, the slut Gu Huaiying, the vicious demon boy Sha Bao, the divine whip Shen Bian, the poison fairy Wang Zhizhi, the undead head Ji Mucheng, Yi Wusheng who behaves according to his nature,
One-eyed pirate Zhang Baoyan.
The person ranked fourth was none other than the bloody butcher Gu Ye who died on the spot.
The third is the Weaver Girl who weaves life in a web.
Later, some people called the cowherd incidentally, and collectively it was called "the net weaves life, the woman sings and the husband follows".
Ranked second is the madman He Lei.
The leader of the villains is the gambler Huang Qingxuan.
Although times have changed, some people have died of old age, some have lost their heads, some live in seclusion, some have no trace, and the fourteen villains cannot even make up the number of fourteen people. Whether it is notoriety or reputation, it is already declining.
But how can one not be horrified and stunned when he encounters the first four of the Fourteen Evil Men overnight?
Especially Huang Qingxuan and He Lei, who ranked in the top two.
It would not be entirely accurate to say that these fourteen villains are all on the loose.
Because in the early years, most of the evildoers, when faced with the government's vigorous pursuit, or the gangsters and heroes who joined forces to hunt down, they all hid and disappeared. Only after they had avoided the limelight and no one cared about them, did they dare to show their faces again.
Keep a low profile.
Obviously, although these villains are outlaws, they have not encountered the situation of being pursued and suppressed with all their strength.
Only Huang Qingxuan and He Lei can be described as true outlaws.
Whether it was the imperial soldiers, the reckless heroes, or even the Ying bandits and Ora troops who once caused trouble in Zhongzhou, they all surrounded and suppressed them.
However, without exception, they all ended hastily with nothing gained after paying a heavy price.
Someone said at that time that these two people were truly gifted and possessed extraordinary abilities, and only God could defeat them.
What do you mean by innate talents and extraordinary abilities?
Just because Huang and He showed extraordinary qualities even when they were young.
Let’s talk about this first.
He is born with the ability to hear in all directions, and any small sound will be infinitely amplified in his ears.
The sound of a silver needle falling to the ground, the fluttering wings of mosquitoes and flies, and the wheezing of a baby can all be clearly heard within a radius of half a mile.
Because of this, he was born unable to be disturbed and always cried and fussed.
As age increases, symptoms become more severe.
When he was still young, his biological parents died for no apparent reason.
Later, he was brought back to the temple by a local monk who was kind and charitable and looked after him, hoping that he would find peace through Buddhism.
Unexpectedly, contrary to expectations, the chanting of Buddha and the ringing of bells in the temple caused him to completely lose control and go crazy.
He Lei, who had no knowledge of martial arts at that time, roared and roared to emit sound waves similar to the magic power of a lion's roar, and hammered the ground to make the whole temple tremble.
As a result, all the meridians and organs of the more than 20 monks in the temple were damaged, and they gradually became thinner and thinner. A few of them died without treatment a few days later.
After an unintentional mistake caused a shocking murder, He Lei became wise overnight and chose to hide himself in order to avoid another tragedy.
But the road to hiding was destined to be paved with blood, and he had nearly a thousand dead souls under his command after he had just passed the weak crown, so he was labeled as a villain early on.
In order to avoid being pursued and punished by all parties, He Lei was forced to continue to grow.
In addition to becoming a skin that is difficult to penetrate with gold and iron, when he beats the ground in a frenzy, he can easily make a mountain in a radius of half a mile shake.
A person can't stand in it, his ears are thundering, his heart is pounding, and over time his meridians and organs will burst and he will die!
Later, it was difficult to see him in the rivers and lakes, and occasionally he was heard to be seen in the wild wilderness of the north.
Huang Qingxuan's past is similar to that of He Leicha.
He was born into a wealthy family and was the youngest in his family. He also had a son at an old age, so he was quite favored.
He was supposed to live a stable and prosperous life, but he went astray because of his differences from ordinary people.
Huang Qingxuan was born with only three colors in his eyes, but no one knew it.
His mother and sisters all loved his younger brother very much.
He was given many things such as clothes, food or entertainment, which led to comparisons, and Huang Qingxuan always had to pick and choose from them, commenting on the good and bad.
It's just food and playthings, but the things he wears are just those kinds of things. In Huang Qingxuan's eyes, they are all the same thing without color difference, and he feels puzzled and confused when comparing and choosing again and again.
His father was a very fond of gambling. Because his family was rich, he had no worries about betting. Even though he suffered defeats, he always made money every day. After he finally had a son in his old age, he always loved to take his son with him.
When you feel happy when you win and feel uncomfortable when you lose, teach your children to make choices and place bets.
When the wind is going well, he is the icing on the cake, but when his luck is not going his way, he makes a comeback, which makes his father even more fond of him. He has to ask his younger son to make a decision at a casual glance.
As everyone knows, Huang Qingxuan is on the verge of collapse under the various choices he makes day after day.
Finally, at the age when his hair was tied up, Huang Qingxuan, who had only learned rudimentary foreign martial arts, burst out with powerful true energy, staining the whole family with blood!
But this is just the beginning.
Huang Qingxuan specially created a set of hand cards, one side is all black, and the other side is divided into yellow, cyan and black.
Those three colors are the three colors that can be seen in his eyes, which is also the origin of his name.
With the help of three-color cards, Huang Qingxuan traveled among the rivers and lakes, and began to force those who were stuck in the decision-making process to make choices in three situations.
Yellow represents negative choices, full of despair, and welcoming death.
Because it is the color of blood. When his parents, sisters, and servants died, the blood that flowed out was yellow!
Cyan represents positive choices, full of hope, and welcoming new life.
This was the color of the vegetation, sky and sea he saw. Cyan always made him feel peaceful.
Black represents the unknown.
After all, most of the time, all he sees is black. He can't tell the difference between many things, and the black color brings him too much uneasiness.
The person chosen by him must draw one card from the three colors.
If it is yellow, it will disturb the wishes of the person who makes the choice, and may end up costing his life.
If it is blue, he should help the person making the decision without asking for anything in return.
If it is black, he will do his best to make things develop in directions that are unpredictable or beyond his control.
In more than ten years, many people have received favors from Huang Qingxuan, but many more people have fallen into trouble and lost their lives at the hands of Huang Qingxuan.
The most evil thing he ever did was to massacre a whole village of people, old and young, women and children, because of a bet.
The public sentiment was so excited that Yan Qing, who was the leader of the Four Seas Alliance at the time, personally took action, but the outcome was no more than evenly matched.
It can only be changed to a gambling game.
Under the bet, Yan Qing exchanged a strange Bagua formation for Huang Qingxuan's agreement that he could only bet once in ten days.
That formation is an "open-door" formation. After Huang Qingxuan, who is born with powerful Qi, has mastered it, he can appear anywhere within half a mile within a few breaths with just a thought and the formation opening.
No one in the world can block his way!
As for the fighting power of these two people, it may be compared to the case during the invasion of foreign barbarians.
That year, when Wala sent his army south, he saw a man from Zhongzhou walking sneakily. He thought he was a member of the Jianghu community in Zhongzhou who came alone to spy on the military situation, so he sent someone to kill him.
Three people left without returning, ten more people went without a reply, hundreds of people tried to attack him, and the ground seemed to shake, and an army surrounded him and the whole army was wiped out!
From now on, if the Wala army sees him again, they will avoid him for fear!
In the same year, the Japanese invaders attacked, and the Japanese people who had already understood most of Zhongzhou's rivers and lakes were thirsty for talents and extended an olive branch to Huang Qingxuan.
After being rejected by Huang Qingxuan, he pursued him relentlessly and forced him to make a choice. If he goes with it, he will prosper, if he goes against it, he will die.
Huang Qingxuan used three cards to remove the heads of ten Yingkou shadow warriors in one fell swoop, and used one card to make a Yingkou general explode to death.
In one fell swoop, he shattered the Japanese people’s recruitment mentality.
Just looking at the number of people, He Lei seems to be better.
But what He Lei killed were the officers and soldiers who relied on the combined force, while what Huang Qingxuan killed were all Jianghu people who were individually stronger.
Of course, there is a more powerful evidence for why He Lei was ranked behind Huang Qingxuan.
In the early years, the two had an encounter by chance. The crazy man who said that no one could enter could not stand Huang Qingxuan's card and fell unconscious on the spot.
After going through the outline of their lives in his mind, Jiang Yichen felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.
To him, Huang Qingxuan and He Lei were close to legends such as Xiao Yutong and Yan Qing, and were incomparable to even Feng Chen and the ghostly enchantress.
From the various information he has seen over the years, most of the information about these legendary figures in the world is about their horrific deeds.
But they never heard of the specific weaknesses of these people. Even Huang Qingxuan's "The Vast Heavenly Skill" and He Lei's "Tiangu Jue" written by Huang Qingxuan, two innate martial arts masters, were forty-five percent fabricated.
The opponent is too powerful and unable to find out the details. Previously, there was still a possibility of fighting, but now it is out of control.
If only one person came and everyone dispersed, the Niu family and his daughter might still be able to escape.
But when the two of them appeared at the same time, it seemed that the only option they had to do was to stand at attention and get beaten.
Let's wait and see what the other party plans. Jiang Yichen sighed secretly.
Maybe they weren't here for the Niu family's father and daughter?
Jiang Yichen still had the last trace of reverie in his heart, and according to the legend, Huang Qingxuan would not take action directly without a disagreement, at least he would give the opportunity to take a gamble, wouldn't he?
It is unknown why He Lei was brought here, whether it was a coincidence or whether he was brought here as a gambling chip.
For a moment, Jiang Yichen had been thinking a lot, and vaguely remembered a story.
Seeing that Huang Qingxuan was finally about to speak, he quickly recovered his thoughts and listened carefully.
"This is Huang Qingxuan, you may have heard of it before."
"Ten days ago, I heard an interesting friend say that interesting things would happen here. He also asked me to bring Lao He with me."
"After all the hard work, I finally caught up."
Huang Qingxuan walked back and forth between everyone and He Lei. As he spoke, he looked at everyone through the brim of his hat with his face slightly sideways.
He seemed to be looking at everyone, and also seemed to be saying hello.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the figure appears to be a straight line from beginning to end, regardless of whether it is diagonal or straight.
Jiang Yichen thought to himself, with Huang Qingxuan's behavior, if he hadn't taught Xiao Yan'er to keep a straight line with Chushan Gudao, he would probably have to call her a bitch again.
"But you little brats are a bit too cunning. If I hadn't felt that Baiju Town was too quiet tonight, I probably wouldn't have found out what's wrong with you."
"But fortunately it's not too late. The current situation is somewhat interesting."
After saying that, Huang Qingxuan paused, reached out and gently pinched the brim of his hat facing the crowd, and the brim of the hat slightly arched upward due to the force.
The eyes that were as clear and bright as gems in the dark night shot out a sharp line of sight through the arched space.
The line of sight first fell on Yu Le, who was alone.
Huang Qingxuan asked, "Are you here to kill the Niu family's father and daughter?"
"Yes." Yu Le did not dare to lie in any way. His back was completely soaked with cold sweat the moment his eyes fell on him.
Huang Qingxuan asked Weaver Girl again, "Are you and your wife here to take the Niu family's father and daughter back to Youjing?"
Weaver Girl nodded.
"Are you here to help the Niu family and their daughter get through this difficult time between Baiju Town and Caoyan Town?"
What Huang Qingxuan asked was Feipiao and his party, Feipiao nodded in agreement.
Finally, Huang Qingxuan looked at Niu Kelian who was sitting on the ground and Xiaohua who was accompanying him, and said, "You two must be the protagonists of this interesting story."
Xiaohua looked at Huang Qingxuan in a daze and did not dare to say anything. Niu Kelian protected him in his arms and nodded solemnly.
"That being the case, I won't beat around the bush anymore."
"I, Mr. Huang, have been called a gambler for decades. I am here to invite you to take a gamble."
As he spoke, Huang Qingxuan stretched out his hand toward everyone. The hand was wearing black gloves, but it was easy to see that the fingers were extremely slender.
And the hands were specially made black iron hand cards in three colors: yellow, green, and black.
"Right now, each of you has three options to decide the direction of the situation. Who is willing to be the one to make this choice?"
