Sword Knocks The Gates of Heavens

Chapter 61 Heron City

Heron City is the closest and most prosperous city to Autum Water in the Azure Lotus Immortal Mansion.

The Zhou Family who held a “fish viewing meeting” at Autum Water last time, the main foundation is in Heron City, but the Zhou Family has not been doing well recently.

First of all, Zhou Family patriarch had a hard time. The Autumn Water Sect didn’t pursue anything, but the Sang family in Yanzhou kept biting the Zhou Family for some reason. Zhou Family’s business in Immortal Mansion, and even the foundation of the base camp Heron City is almost collapsed.

Patriarch Zhou Cang is not good, and Zhou Songlin, the main culprit in that incident, is naturally even worse. Without any accident, Zhou Songlin was expelled from the Zhou Family.

There is another person who has a hard time, that is Zhou Family Chief Steward Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang has a hard time, in fact, he can’t get along with himself, he can’t get along with that game of chess, and since returning to Heron City, he has never touched a drop of water or a grain of rice, and his body is as thin as firewood. The chessboard thought hard.

Today, Zhou Liang’s house came to a “chess friend” who he hadn’t seen for a long time. It was the first time he ate and drank tea after returning home.

“Brother Liang, is this the chess game that day?”

The person who spoke was Zhou Liang’s chess friend, a plainly dressed hunchbacked old man.

“Well, that’s right.”

In Zhou Liang’s deep-set eye sockets, the originally dull eyes suddenly lit up.

“This game of chess is really scared witless.”

The hunchback old man took a sip of tea, but stared straight at the chessboard.

“It was this move that started, and the situation became very complicated.”

Zhou Liang pointed to a black spot on the chessboard.

“This sunspot’s deduction ability is really amazing.”

The hunchbacked old man looked astonished when he spoke.

“Yes, this little doll’s arithmetic ability can be ranked in the top ten among the chess players I met.”

Although he was not reconciled, Zhou Liang had to be convinced.

“I really want to know what the outcome of the next round will be if I fight him…”

The hunchbacked old man was full of excitement and anticipation.

“Wait, what did you just say the name of this chess puppet?”

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

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

Zhou Liang smiled wryly, and it was precisely because of the Sang family that recently Zhou Family has suffered a lot.

“If I remember correctly, one of the guests we invited in One Night City this time is called 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 what I say seriously, who can take it seriously?”

When he said this, the hunchbacked old man flashed a terrifying power. gone.

It is also this power that reminds Zhou Liang of his identity as a hunchbacked old man—the City Lord of One Night City, the largest black market in Immortal Mansion in the Ten Prefectures, Duanmu Zigong.

Zhou Liang’s identity and cultivation base are very different from him. The reason why I can get acquainted with him speaking of which is because of playing chess. At that time, Duanmu Zigong was just learning to play chess. Zhou Liang, who was killed by Zhou Liang was extremely miserable, and the two became friends because of this. When Zhou Liang was able to play against the chess master back then, Duanmu Zigong made a lot of efforts.

“Could it be that this year’s One Night City is set for Heron?”

Zhou Liang was a little surprised after not paying attention to the news outside for a long time.

“It’s not the Heron, it’s there.”

The hunchbacked old man pointed to the run-down place outside the city, the Immortal Mansion slum that Azure Lotus Immortal Mansion is famous for.

“It’s really like your Yiyecheng style.” Zhou Liang said with a bitter smile: “Build Yiyecheng, the darkest and dirtiest trading place in the ten states, in the most rancid place in Immortal Mansion. The muddy land, aren’t you afraid that the Azure Lotus Immortal Mansion will trouble you?”

“Do they dare?”

The hunchbacked old man said disdainfully.

Speaking of this, he suddenly said mysterious said with a smile:

“You know, who did I meet on the way from Yanzhou?”

“Who?”

“They.”

The corners of the hunchbacked old man’s mouth curled up.

“They?”

Zhou Liang was stunned at first, then his pupils suddenly dilated, and he said with a look of horror:

“Really them?”

Obviously, Zhou Liang already understood who the hunchback old man was talking about.

“Interesting, right?”

Picking up the teacup, the hunchbacked old man said with a smile.

“What are they doing at Azure Lotus 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 Azure Lotus Immortal Mansion won’t be too peaceful for the next two years, brother Liang, you and I have known each other for a while. , pack up and come with me.”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Liang sighed: “Alright, I can’t stay with this Zhou Family anymore.”

One Night City It 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. Human activities and transactions are completed overnight.

But because every time there will be good things that are not encountered in the city, such as the talisman Taoist Tibetan “Xuanyuan Tu” that has disappeared for more than a thousand years, it reappears in the city, such as the magic weapon Spiritual Artifact There are so many of them, so not only those ghosts and snakes, but also some famous Disciples will come here specially.

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

……

The mountainside of White Cloud Temple, the weather finally cleared up.

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

Today is also the day that Mu Ningshuang said that the Vermilion Bird Pavilion will teach the sword technique, Li Yunsheng thought while drying the quilt: “I don’t know if Mu Ningshuang can pass, but don’t make a mistake, When the time comes, his plan to ask her for Autum Water sword art will fail.”

After knowing the characteristics of his opponent Liu Yuhuan that day, he also went to the Yellow Crane Building specially to read After reading a lot of classics about sword technique, he spent a lot of time deducing Liu Yuhuan’s sword technique, but he told Mu Ningshuang in a hurry, and he didn’t know if Mu Ningshuang understood it.

Moreover, Li Yunsheng is not sure about this kind of weak spot deduction. If he hadn’t listened to Mu Ningshuang’s description of Liu Yuhuan’s characteristics, he found that Liu Yuhuan had obvious habit of using swords, and he would not have dared to teach him. Mu Ningshuang uses this method.

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

I saw a white crane flying towards the mountainside.

When the white crane flew closer, Li Yunsheng saw a young girl sitting on it.

It was only when Li Yunsheng got closer that he could see clearly that the one sitting on the white crane… turned out to be Sang Xiaoman!

“Little Junior Brother, you promised me that the weather is clear and you will accompany me down the mountain!”

Sang Xiaoman shouted at Li Yunsheng on the top of the mountain with a bright smile on the white crane. road.

She didn’t say it, Li Yunsheng almost forgot.

Li Yunsheng, who was happy just now because the sky was clear, looked at the dazzling sun sighed and said:

“Why is it sunny so fast today?”

Immediately after, Sang Xiaoman seemed to see through Li Yunsheng’s mind, so he didn’t give him the slightest room to refuse. He swooped down on the white crane and pulled him onto the white crane, sitting in front of her.

After a loud crane chirping, the white crane circled around and went straight to the sky. Li Yunsheng, who was sitting on it, only felt relaxed and joyful.

“Xiao Bai, let’s go to Heron City!”

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