But in the rivers and lakes

In the city of Wuxi, there is no one who does not know the Happy Building. It is a place where men linger and forget to return. The soft whispers create a gentle town that is almost drunk and dreamy. Every man who steps into it is willing to fall into it.When night falls, red lanterns illuminate the night sky of Wuxi City in the singing and dancing. Men and women sway cheap sweet words in their demands, but at the moment when the east is white, they will restore indifference and silence.

Shen Yun stood in front of the happy building, and two tall and strong servants stopped in front of the closed gate, and they glanced up and down at Shen Yun, perhaps thinking that this down-and-out boy in a blue-gray coarse cloth robe didn't seem like he would spend a lot of money The hawker’s expression was a bit more contemptuous: “My guest officer, I’m sorry, if you want to have fun, please come back at night, we don’t do business in the happy building during the day.”

Shen Yun was not annoyed at all, he just looked up at the vermilion pavilion, smiled and turned to leave.Even if he already knew where Zhu Ba was, there was no need to be in a hurry, he would definitely show up at the time of the sword transfer meeting.He gradually disappeared into the crowd, unaware that the dark blue figure not far away was looking at him, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes: "So, this is the friend you want to find."

Mu Yun chose to smirk slightly at the corner of his mouth, but his warm eyes had already sunk.A black-clothed waiter stepped forward and said curtly, "Young Zhuangzhu, the Zhuangzhu please go back and discuss the matter of the sword passing meeting in three days' time."

Mu Yunze nodded slightly, pointed to the back of the person walking away in the crowd and said, "Send him a copy of the invitation."

Shen Yun has never been in a hurry for success, he has enough patience to wait for everything.

Waiting is sometimes difficult, but for Shen Yun, he enjoys the process very much.

So he went back to the unremarkable courtyard again, lying on the wooden chair under the eaves and sleeping in the dark, Xiao Chen was not in the house, the old tree with crooked neck against the wall rustled in the wind, slowly and slowly. A steady knock on the door sounded at this moment.Shen Yun opened his eyes slightly, his brows sank, and his expression became a little more alert.

The half-hidden door was pushed open, and the waiter in black walked in. His gaze swept around the courtyard before falling on the man under the eaves, and he cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask you, are you the Great Xia Shen Yun?"

Seeing his attire clearly, Shen Yun knew that he was from Wuxia Villa. The image of Mu Yun choosing to hold a sword and smile suddenly appeared in his mind. With a sudden movement in his heart, Fang stood up and replied, "Exactly."

The waiter in black took out a red satin-wrapped invitation card from his pocket and handed it over, saying respectfully: "Master Shen has invited Shen Daxia to attend the Sword Passing Conference in three days' time."

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Yun's eyes, and he returned to normal immediately, and took the invitation: "Go back and tell Master Mu Shaozhuang that Shen Yun will definitely go." He had intended to go to the Sword Passing Conference to capture Zhu Ba, but this invitation It saved him a lot of trouble, but he couldn't help wondering why Mu Yunze knew where he lived.

The waiter in black saluted him and turned to leave.Shen Yun looked down at the four big characters "Wuxia Villa" on the invitation card. The gentle appearance of the young man could not get out of his mind. He shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.The woman in the cherry red brocade dress in Changle Gambling Shop actually looks somewhat similar to Mu Yunze between her brows, perhaps that's why he bet on that round...

Xiao Chen carried the wine jar and walked in from the door, seeing the invitation card in Shen Yun's hand, he couldn't help frowning: "Have you been to Wuxia Villa?"

Shen Yun's attention was only on the jar of wine in his hand: "This smell should be Zhuangyuanhong, right?"

Xiao Chen threw the wine jar to him: "I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid the Chixiao sword."

Shen Yun lifted the mud seal and took a sip, said with a smile: "Since you can't avoid it, there's no need to avoid it anymore. If you have wine today, you'll be happy today, so why worry about what will happen three days later."

Xiao Chen glanced at him: "Do you know that there are already rumors in the market that Chi Xiaojian is missing."

Shen Yun paused with the hand holding the wine jar, shook his head and said, "If there is no Scarlet Heaven Sword, how can we pass on the sword? Wuxia Villa is heavily guarded, so how could there be a mistake at this moment, I'm afraid this is just a rumor spread by good people."

Xiao Chen said: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, this sword passing conference will never be peaceful."

Shen Yun raised the sword in his hand and said: "Even if the Chixiao Sword is a magic weapon, it may not be comparable to the nameless sword you forged."

Xiao Chen's face was still so dignified: "You should know that what comes for the sword is not for the sword, that is the secret in the sword."

Shen Yun was noncommittal: "But I'm only doing things."

Xiao Chen sighed and said, "I hope you can really get out of this whole body."

Shen Yun threw the wine jar to him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, people like me who are afraid of trouble, have already avoided trouble before trouble comes to them."

Although he was afraid of trouble, he would still go to the Sword Passing Conference.

Three days, whether it is long or short, early that morning, Shen Yun packed up and took the invitation to Wuxia Villa.The road that can usually accommodate ten people is already unbearably crowded today, not to mention the gate of Wuxia Villa, even with disciples surrounding it, it is difficult to drive away the flow of people waiting to watch the fun.

Shen Yun was not in a hurry, and waited outside for a while, but did not see the figure of "Flying on the Grass" Zhu Ba, so he stepped forward a few steps, ready to enter the village to look for it.Two Wuxia Villa disciples stopped him at the door, and they bowed their hands to salute before asking, "Where is the invitation?" Shen Yun was about to hand out the invitation in his arms, when a handsome figure stepped out from the villa, dressed in moon-white Guang Ling brocade clothes, with a smile on his face, as warm as jade, looked towards Shen Yun.

Shen Yun's face could not help softening a bit, he smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, long time no see."

Mu Yun chose to step forward and said: "I'm here to pick up Brother Shen into the villa. Remember, if Brother Shen comes here in the future, I will be treated as the guest of honor at Wuxia Villa!" To listen to the disciples, or to listen to other people who were going to sit at the table, all the eyes were cast on Shen Yun.

Shen Yun just smiled and said nothing. To him, other people's opinions are nothing more than eggs and radishes. He has never met, never met, has nothing to do with him and doesn't care at all.He followed Mu Yun into Wuxia Villa, and when he entered, he saw a huge jade sword, more than three pieces, standing in the courtyard, the whole body was shiny and radiant, which was rare in the world.There is not a trace of open space in the meeting place, people from all martial arts sects are everywhere, including Shaolin martial arts, even the disciples of the Beggar Clan are dressed very neatly.

When everyone saw Mu Yunxuan coming, they stepped forward to congratulate him. Those flattering words were too hypocritical in Shen Yun's ears, and the flattery almost lifted Mu Yunxuan up. Feeling embarrassed, Mu Yunze still maintained a calm demeanor, coping with it while giving in.There was always a faint smile on his face, and his bright eyes seemed to be shining under the morning sun. Shen Yun saw his unrestrained and easy gestures, his heart was touched somehow, and his eyes softened a little unconsciously.

Mu Yun chose to look back at Shen Yun, with a little apology in his eyes, ignoring the people around him who kept crowding up, he took Shen Yun's hand and walked to the main seat of the villa, and said: "If you don't dislike, brother Shen, you can join me." Let me sit together."

Shen Yun wanted to refuse at first, he would rather choose a remote corner so that he could easily find Zhu Ba's whereabouts, but before he could say anything, all the contemptuous or contemptuous gazes around him had already cast them, as if they wanted to wait to see him come out. Embarrassing in general.Shen Yun glanced at them, but a lazy and casual smile appeared on his mouth as usual: "Thank you, Mr. Mu."

Mu Yun chose to smile back and lead him to sit down.In the inconspicuous corner behind them, a man in white shirt and scarlet robe sat there quietly. His face was covered by a mask, but the ironic smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

In this venue, no matter if you are talking with your ears, or waiting eagerly, whether you are quietly watching, or eager to try, all who come here today are to witness the splendor of the Scarlet Heaven Sword.

There are too many rumors about the Akasaka Sword in Jianghu, true and false, no one can distinguish clearly, even its original owner, no one is going to pursue it.They only know that Chixiao Sword is in Wuxia Villa now, and the secret hidden in Chixiao Sword is the real number one in the world.

Seeking fame, seeking wealth, seeking power, and seeking profit cannot escape the bloody consequences.

So everyone is waiting, waiting for Wuxia Villa to reveal the true face of Chi Xiaojian, or, waiting for Chi Xiaojian to reveal the true face of the treasure.

Among these people, perhaps only Shen Yun is the calmest.

His eyes swept across the venue, but he never found Zhu Ba.Although it is impossible for this notorious person to enter the Wuxia Villa, but with his usual greedy and lustful behavior, he will never miss this great opportunity to compete for the Akasaka Sword.Shen Yun frowned slightly, and heard a person who looked like a scholar say to the person wearing a Wudang Taoist robe: "The sword passing conference is still going on, didn't you hear that the Chixiao Sword has been stolen?"

The man in the Wudang Taoist robe looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Whether it's a real loss or a fake loss, it will be clear after a while, let's just wait and see."

With Wuxia Villa's reputation in Jianghu, if it is true that it cannot produce the Chixiao Sword today, it will definitely become the laughing stock of its fellow martial artists. Since the Sword Passing Conference is held as scheduled, the news of the loss of the sword may not be worthy of the name.Shen Yun looked back at Mu Yunze, but saw that his expression was calm, his warm eyes were the same, and he didn't seem to hear the two of them talking.

At this moment, the sound of beating drums sounded. Dozens of disciples from the villa in black costumes lined up in two rows. Mu Baichuan walked in the middle, striding like stars, with an imposing manner. The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.For this legendary hero of benevolence and righteousness, it was also the first time for Shen Yun to see his true face in Lushan. Powerful, just standing on the stage is like an unshakable boulder.
