Chapter 2 Nightfall
seven years ago.

Yelan City.

At this time, it is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been raining for nine consecutive days. The mist is thick and the water vapor is dense. The whole small town seems to have fallen into a fairyland, looking ethereal and psychedelic.But today's rain is very different, it is no longer a silky drizzle, but a majestic heavy rain, beating on the eaves with a crackling sound.

Under the eaves of a pharmacy in Liucheng Lane, a woman in plain clothes looked at the sky. She looked only in her twenties, her face was beautiful but a little haggard. She stared blankly at the rain curtain that filled the sky and seemed to be thinking about something. , After a long time, he opened his mouth and murmured something.

"It's raining a lot."

It's just that the voice overlapped with another voice.

The woman was startled, and turned her head hastily, only to find that there was a scholar dressed in white standing beside her at some point. The scholar looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long sword on his waist and a book on his back. Box, it seemed that he had just hid under the eaves, and was wiping the rainwater off his face with his hands.

"Who are you?" The woman was surprised.

The scholar wiped off the rain on his face, turned his head and smiled gently at the woman: "Hi girl, I'm wearing Su Baiyi."

The woman was taken aback, the rain suddenly subsided at this moment, and the scholar's gentle smile could not detect the slightest hostility, she thought to herself: Could it be that the traveler really went the wrong way?

The scholar who called himself Su Baiyi turned around and put the bookcase on the side of the wall, still with a gentle smile on his face: "That's right, the murderous intent is so tight, even the gentle rain It seemed aggressive."

Before the words fell, the rain became heavier again.

A long knife was pressed against Su Baiyi's chest, and the woman said coldly: "I just asked who you are, not your name, but why you appeared here? The gates with a radius of three miles should all be covered by the four great families. People are guarding, how did you sneak in?"

Facing the sharp long knife, Su Baiyi still smiled calmly: "Girl, how did you get in, then how did I get in, this question is meaningless. But our encounter here is very meaningful .Because... I'm here to help the girl."

The woman withdrew the long knife and looked at Su Baiyi suspiciously: "Are you from Castlevania? I thought they hadn't received my letter."

Su Baiyi scratched his head and pointed to his own face: "May I ask you, what do you see on my face?"

The woman looked at it for a long time, and her brows frowned even tighter. She didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the young man in front of her: "I didn't see anything."

"Chunliang. I saw him as a gentleman, pure and harmless. How could he be from Castlevania?" Su Baiyi sighed helplessly, shaking his long sleeves, "People from Castlevania, who can have me Can such picturesque eyebrows and eyes have clear eyes like mine? Girl, your vision is really not very good. No wonder you like it..."

"A man like Tsing Yi Lang."

A gust of wind blew by, and the rain came in, hitting the faces of the two of them, a little painful.

Su Baiyi still looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle smile, although his words were obviously provocative.

The woman felt that she should be angry, but she held down the long knife and met Su Baiyi's eyes, but she just lowered her head slightly.

The wind dissipated, the rain fell vertically again, and then there was the sound of horseshoes kicking up the rain.

"Here we come." Su Baiyi raised his eyebrows.

The woman's expression became serious in an instant, and she whispered: "I can't guess who you are, but since you said you are my helper, then I believe you. After all, I have no choice. It's just that we have to fight together. Enemy, between life and death, I still hope that Mr. Su Baiyi will treat each other honestly."

"Actually, I really don't know what to say. I have no background. I come from a small village. You must have never heard of that village, but you may have heard of the wine there. As for why I came to help you? My master asked me to Here." Su Baiyi scratched his head, "I'm a good apprentice, I listen to Master very well."

"Who is your master..." the woman asked.

"Hush." ​​Su Baiyi stretched out his finger and made a silent movement, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Listen, the sound of horseshoes has passed through the second intersection, when they reached the third intersection , It’s time to start. I’ll go there first when the time comes. If it goes well, I’ll be enough alone. If you need the girl’s help, I’ll send out a signal.”

The woman shook her head and said anxiously: "The fourth street is the best place to do it. That place is the narrowest and the carriage is inconvenient to move. Even if there are many people, they can't do it..."

"Indeed, but such a good place is more than we can think of. So I guess, there are already other people who want to ambush waiting there."

"Ah!" At the fourth intersection, a carriage was parked quietly. A burly man in white sat in front of the carriage, holding the rein in his hand, and sneezed fiercely. He blew Nose, said dissatisfiedly, "Senior sister, we have already come here, can you tell us who we are waiting for?"

"Have you heard of Tsing Yi Lang?" A woman's gentle voice came from the carriage.

"Young master in Tsing Yi, Xingyuan Fang is coming and going from Jiangnan. Isn't that the most romantic young man in Jiangnan today? It is said that half of the women from the four great families in Jiangnan like him, so you, senior sister, don't you..." The burly man challenged him maliciously. raised an eyebrow.

The woman in the carriage didn't seem to be in the mood to tease him, and continued in a calm tone: "Wang, Xie, Chen, and Dongfang, the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River, they hold a cauldron discussion meeting every three years. First, the Four Great Families will send their most powerful young disciples to compete in martial arts. This time Tsing Yi Lang will represent the Xie family. The Xie family has declined over the years and has become the last of the four families, but Tsing Yi Lang broke into it with his own strength. The last round of the cauldron discussion meeting shocked everyone. Many people said that after more than ten years, the Xie family finally waited for the dragon of their generation."

"Jiangnan Xie's family? Isn't it Xie Yuling's family that I hate the most?" The burly man was taken aback, "It is said that the kid has always wanted to revive the Xie family, but now it seems that he has been preempted."

"However, it didn't. During the final decisive battle with the young patriarch of the Wang family, Tsing Yi Lang suddenly lost his temper and went berserk, and the four elders of the Wang family shot at the same time to subdue him. According to what they said later, the reason why Tsing Yi Lang was here The sudden rise in the cauldron meeting last time was due to some kind of martial arts secretly practiced, and this martial arts is very likely to be an evil skill handed down from the extinct demon sect. Therefore, the four masters are now escorting Tsing Yi Lang to the Wang family's mansion to investigate the matter. "

"Then we are here..."

"In recent years, the Wang family has been the head of the four major families. They have been deliberately suppressing the power of the other families. If Qing Yilang is really sent to the Wang family's mansion, it may be a disaster. Qing Yilang is Xie Yuling's eldest brother. I beg you to help me, and I also feel that this matter is not that simple, so I am sent here."

The burly man licked his lips: "The big brother who saved that kid, will he dare to be arrogant in front of me after that? No wonder you chose to bring me here, senior sister. I can't wait."

"If you can't wait, you have to wait." Although the voice in the carriage was soft, it had an irresistible force.The burly man shrugged and raised his head: "Well, it's almost there anyway."

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." Su Baiyi at the door of the medicine shop murmured, every sound of "hurry up" corresponds to the sound of rain being splashed by horseshoes, "Hurry up, hurry up...here we are! A hairpin!"

Dressed in white clothes, he rushed out like an arrow, only to see Su Baiyi was extremely fast, stepping on the stagnant water, but there was no splash.

This kind of movement... The woman remembered a long-ago legend. She touched her bun and found that the emerald green hairpin was gone.

When the fast-moving carriage turned into the third street corner, a person dressed in white suddenly appeared at the corner, and then jumped up, which brought rainwater all over the ground at the same time. The rain then spread down and poured down on the heads and faces of the people protecting the carriage.

"There is an ambush!" The leader drew his sword and shouted angrily.

But the white dress has disappeared.

The leader wiped the rainwater off his face, looked around, cursed angrily and said, "Everyone cheer up, be careful on the road ahead!"

In the carriage, there were two people looking at each other at this moment.

The man in Tsing Yi leaned there, his complexion was sallow, his eyes were dull, his neck, arms, face, almost all places visible to the naked eye were covered with rotten sores, his whole body looked like he was dying. Looking at the appearance of a young man, he glanced at Su Baiyi in front of him, tried all his strength to open his mouth to speak but only made some babbling sounds.

Su Baiyi, who suddenly appeared opposite him, hastily took out the emerald green hairpin, and put it in the hand of the man in Tsing Yi.

The man in Tsing Yi tried his best to lower his head, looking at the hairpin, his eyes were moist.

Su Baiyi whispered: "Don't worry, I'm here to save you."

The carriage passed through the third intersection at such a high speed, and came to the fourth intersection.

"Hoo." The coachman pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

Another carriage was at the intersection of the fourth street, blocking their way. A burly young man stood up from the carriage, his white robe fluttered loosely in the wind, and he held a bag in his mouth. Take a toothpick, hold a bamboo sword on your shoulder: "Senior Sister, they are here."

Except for the coachman, there were four riders escorting the carriage, the leader rode to the front, looked at the tall and powerful young man, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Leave Tsing Yi Lang." The burly boy stretched out his bamboo sword and pointed at the carriage.

The leader sneered and said, "Do you dare to block the cars of the four great families?"

"The Four Great Masters are amazing. Just now you asked me who I am, so I'll tell you." The burly young man said proudly, "I am the leader of the extremely evil gang, Feng..."

A steamed bun flew out of the carriage and hit the burly boy on the head. The boy's one-stop introduction was abruptly interrupted.

"What's the most evil gang leader, tell me again!" A woman's voice came from the carriage.

"Okay." The burly young man jumped up and swung the bamboo sword in his hand. With a strong wind on the bamboo sword, it swept the rain curtain down and hit the leading guard. go down.

"This is the Dafeng style of the sword!" The guard at the head swung the sword to strike, but the iron sword that cut iron like mud touched the bamboo sword that fell from the sky, but it was suppressed after only one move.

The burly young man snorted coldly, and suddenly put away the bamboo sword and kicked the leader's bodyguard away, then turned over and landed on the ground, splashing rainwater all over the ground.

"Xue Gong, Feng Zuo Jun." The burly young man curled his lips and smiled.
