Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 61 Heron City

Heron City is the closest and most prosperous city to Qiushui in Qinglian Immortal Mansion.

The last time the Zhou family held the "Fish Appreciation Party" in Qiushui, their main business is in Heron City, but the Zhou family has not had a good time recently.

First of all, Zhou Cang, the head of the Zhou family, was having a hard time. Qiushuimen didn’t pursue anything during the fish appreciation meeting, but the Sang family in Yanzhou kept biting the Zhou family for some reason, not to mention the business of the Zhou family in Xianfu. Even the foundation of Heron City, the base camp, almost collapsed.

Zhou Cang, the head of the family, had a hard time, and Zhou Songlin, the main criminal in that incident, was naturally even more miserable. Zhou Songlin, who had no accidents, was kicked out of the Zhou family, and now he doesn't know where he is now.

There is another person who is having a hard time, Zhou Liang, the chief housekeeper of the Zhou family.

Zhou Liang is having a hard time. In fact, he has trouble with himself and that game of chess. Since returning to Heron City, he has not touched a single grain of rice, and his body is as thin as wood. He just stares at the chessboard and meditates hard every day.

Today, a "chess friend" whom he hadn't seen for a long time came to Zhou Liang's house, and it was the first time he ate and drank tea after returning home.

"Brother Liang, is this the chess game that day?"

The one who spoke was Zhou Liang's chess friend, a hunchbacked old man in plain clothes.

"Well, that's right."

In Zhou Liang's sunken eye sockets, those dull eyes suddenly lit up.

"This game of chess is really frightening to watch."

The hunchbacked old man took a sip of his tea, but his eyes were fixed on the chessboard.

"This is the beginning of this move, and the situation has become very complicated."

Zhou Liang pointed to a sunspot on the chessboard.

"This sunspot's deduction ability is really amazing."

The hunchbacked old man was astonished when he spoke.

"That's right, this little doll's calculation ability ranks among the top ten chess players I've met."

Although unwilling, Zhou Liang had to be convinced.

"I really want to know what will happen if I play against him in the next game..."

The hunchbacked old man was full of excitement and anticipation.

"Wait, you just said what is the name of the little doll who played the chess piece?"

The hunchbacked old man suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhou Liangdao.

"At the time she said her name was Li Xiaoman, but we later found out that she was Sang Xiaoman, the youngest daughter of the Sang family."

Zhou Liang smiled bitterly, and it was precisely because of the Sang family that the Zhou family had suffered a lot recently.

"If I remember correctly, one of the guests we invited to One Night City this time is named Sang Xiaoman."

The hunchbacked old man suddenly said with bright eyes.

"really?"

Zhou Liang was also a little excited.

"I, the city lord, can't take anything seriously. Who can take it seriously?"

When he said these words, a frightening power flashed from the hunchbacked old man.

It was this kind of power that reminded Zhou Liang of the identity of this hunchbacked old man - Duanmu Zigong, the city lord of the largest black market in Shizhou Xianfu, One Night City.

Zhou Liang and him are very different in status and cultivation level, and we were able to get acquainted with him because of playing chess. At that time, Duanmu Zigong was just learning to play chess, and his hands were itchy all day. Zhou Liang, who happened to be playing chess in a teahouse, was killed by Zhou Liang. What happened was extremely miserable, and the two became friends because of this.Back then when Zhou Liang was able to fight chess masters, Duanmu Zigong contributed a lot.

"Could it be that this year's One Night City will be Heron?"

It had been a long time since he cared about the outside news, Zhou Liang was a little surprised.

"It's not the heron, it's there."

The hunchbacked old man pointed to the dilapidated place outside the city, the Qinglian Immortal Mansion's well-known Xianfu slums.

"It's really like your One Night City." Zhou Liang smiled wryly: "Building One Night City, the darkest and dirtiest trading place in Shizhou, in the most rotten muddy place in Xianfu, don't you be afraid of Qinglian Fairy?" The government is looking for trouble for you?"

"Do they dare?"

The hunchbacked old man said disdainfully.

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled mysteriously and said:

"Do you know who I met on the way from Yanzhou?"

"Who?"

"them."

The hunchbacked old man raised his mouth and said.

"them?"

Zhou Liang was taken aback for a moment, then his pupils suddenly dilated, and he said with a look of horror:
"Really them?"

Obviously, Zhou Liang already understood who they were the hunchbacked old man was talking about.

"Interesting, right?"

Picking up the teacup, the hunchbacked old man smiled.

"What are they doing in Qinglian Immortal Mansion?"

Zhou Liang frowned in confusion.

"No matter what they do." The hunchbacked old man suddenly looked at Zhou Liang with a serious face: "I'm afraid this Qinglian Immortal Mansion will not be too peaceful in the past two years, Brother Liang, you and I met once, pack up and come with me. "

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Liang sighed and said, "Alright, I can't stay at the Zhou family anymore."

The Overnight City is named after it was built overnight and disappeared overnight. It is the most mysterious black market in the ten states. It appears in the dirtiest places in each state overnight for ten years. Every time it appears, it will attract ghosts, ghosts and snakes from all over the place. , Many shady activities and transactions were completed overnight.

But because every time in One Night City, there will be good things that are not usually encountered, such as the Talisman Taoist "Xuan Yuan Tu", which has disappeared for more than a thousand years, reappears in the world in One Night City, such as magic weapons and spiritual weapons. So these years, not only those ghosts and monsters, but even some famous disciples will come here specially.

The invitation letter that Sang Xiaoman showed Li Yunsheng that day was from One Night City.

……

At the back mountain of Baiyun Temple, the weather finally cleared up.

Li Yunsheng took out the quilt on the bed from the hut, and prepared to bask in the sun.

Today is also the day that Mu Ningshuang said that Zhuque Pavilion will test and teach swordsmanship. Li Yunsheng thought while drying the quilt: "I don't know if Mu Ningshuang can pass, but don't make a mistake. I will ask her for the Qiushui Sword at that time." Jue's plan fell through."

After knowing the characteristics of his opponent Liu Yuhuan that day, he made a special trip to the Yellow Crane Tower, read many classics about swordsmanship, and spent a lot of time deducing Liu Yuhuan's sword moves, but what he told Mu Ningshuang In a hurry, I don't know if Mu Ningshuang understands.

Moreover, Li Yunsheng was not sure about this kind of flawed deduction. If he hadn't heard Mu Ningshuang describe Liu Yuhuan's characteristics and found that Liu Yuhuan had obvious habit of using a sword, he would not have dared to teach Mu Ningshuang to use this method.

Just as he was drying the quilt and thinking about this, a long crane cry suddenly sounded from the sky.

I saw a white crane flying towards the back mountain in the sky.

When the white crane flew closer, Li Yunsheng saw a girl in elegant clothes sitting on top of it.

When he got closer, Li Yunsheng saw clearly that the person sitting on the white crane... turned out to be Sang Xiaoman!
"Junior brother, you promised me that you would accompany me down the mountain when the weather is fine!"

Sang Xiaoman was on the white crane, smiling brightly and shouting at Li Yunsheng on the top of the mountain.

If she didn't say it, Li Yunsheng really almost forgot.

Li Yunsheng, who was happy because of the clear sky just now, looked at the dazzling sun and sighed:
"Why is it sunny so fast today?"

Immediately afterwards, Sang Xiaoman seemed to have seen through Li Yunsheng's mind, so he did not give him the slightest chance to refuse, and swooped down on a white crane to pull him onto the white crane, and sat down in front of her.

After a loud crane cry, the white crane circled around and then went straight into the sky. Li Yunsheng who was sitting on it felt refreshed for a while.

"Xiaobai, let's go to Heron City!"

Sang Xiaoman hugged Li Yunsheng in front of him and shouted excitedly.
