After Waking up Beside the Villain

Xie Chengyun beheaded the woman in black with a single sword, and the news of the fight didn't even spread about the size of the big locust tree. I don't even want to try to fight Xie Chengyun together.

Not wanting to risk himself to save Ji Ling is one, and really not being able to resist is two.

Facing Xie Chengyun's banter, Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "I see, as long as you like it."

"Ok?"

Xie Chengyun was stunned, and felt that this was not a good thing, but seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't mean to explain, he didn't ask, and just got down to business.

"This woman is one of the nine demon girls of the Nine Immortals Palace, the 'Snake Heart Girl' Ding Aoyu. She practiced the Nine Immortals Palace's Myriad Ghosts Devouring Heart Technique, but her strength is not strong, she has not entered the White Dragon Ranking, and her relationship with Ji Ling is not good. Not good."

Walking to the corpse of the woman in black, Xie Chengyun used his true energy to isolate the surroundings, and while speaking, he slapped out a palm, the wind blew, the corpse turned, and many items hidden in the skirt and belt were all shaken out.

A small bamboo tube rolled out of it, which should be used to store the secret letter. Xie Chengyun picked it up and opened it, and there was an undestroyed secret letter inside.

Xie Chengyun had no intention of avoiding Chu Yunsheng from reading the letter. Chu Yunsheng glanced at it briefly and found that the letter came from the Nine Immortals Palace, and it was written to Ding Aoyu and Ji Ling, urging them to get the Son of Heaven Sword as soon as possible. , return to Nine Immortals Palace.Ding Aoyu took the letter and didn't destroy it immediately. He probably wanted to keep it for Ji Ling to read, so as to put pressure on it.

"What is this Tianzi sword?"

Chu Yun asked.

In the original plot, Rong Ange's perspective was not mentioned.

Xie Chengyun glanced at Chu Yunsheng, with a helpless smile, as if there was nothing to do with this ignorant person, and sighed: "Few people in the world today know about it, but you should have heard a song when you were young, "Heaven and earth hold a banquet together, the first immortal of the emperor in ancient times. Traveling to the fourteen states in the north and south, thousands of miles away, transforming the dragon into the emperor's sword.""

Searching the original body's memory, it seems that when he was four or five years old, he really heard such a chanting, but it was vague and incomplete, and Chu Yunsheng couldn't remember it completely.

"Before Great Xia unified the Central Plains, the world was divided into four parts, one called Zhou, one called Qi, one called Qian, and one called Xia. Among them, Northern Qi was the strongest, and its national power was far beyond the comparison of the other three countries. After accumulating energy, send troops at the most suitable time to conquer the four directions and conquer the world."

Xie Chengyun said slowly in a cold voice.

"The emperor of Houzhou's spies found out about this matter, and he knew that if the Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to send troops, they would attack Houzhou first with persimmons. So with the help of a strange man who was said to be from overseas, he secretly searched for the world-famous casting Ninety-nine and 81 sword masters forged a large sword on the side of the damaged dragon vein in the latter week."

"The casting of this sword took more than 900 days, and it has not yet been completed."

"At that time, the Northern Qi had already sent troops to attack Zhou. In the Later Zhou Dynasty, thirteen cities were lost in a row. Tens of thousands of Hanshen died in battle, and thousands of Dingdan were lost. All the sects in the Jianghu sealed their own gates and ignored the affairs of the court. In the Later Zhou Dynasty, two immortals and one old man The one who was seriously injured was still not healed, barely defended against the three wandering immortals of the Northern Qi Dynasty on the battlefield, and tried all means, within a hundred days, he was on the verge of death."

"Hou Zhou saw that the country was about to be destroyed. Emperor Zhou rushed into the sword furnace, agitated by hatred for the country's subjugation, and took out the unforged sword."

"The sword reaches the sky, the sky reaches the people."

"The color of the sky and the earth changed in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and there was a vision of the wind and cloud. People from thousands of miles around all kowtowed in the direction of the capital uncontrollably. The luck surged. A golden dragon's shadow appeared from the clouds in the surrounding cities. Repel the three great wandering immortals of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"Using the sword, Emperor Zhou became a wandering immortal, nicknamed 'Huanghuang', using the sword as the emperor's sword, with dragon luck added to his body, far stronger than ordinary wandering immortals."

"A few days later, Northern Qi raised its flag to avoid the war, and negotiated a peace withdrawal."

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng looked sideways at Xie Chengyun: "Use a sword, but you shouldn't borrow a sword. The way of martial arts lies not in weapons, but in people. Now that it is Great Xia, Zhou Huang must be a 'human emperor'." ', nor can you control the situation, and sit in control of the world."

Xie Chengyun's casual expression paused, he looked up at Chu Yunsheng, and raised the corners of his lips: "Your heart of martial arts is much stronger than Emperor Zhou's."

"Since ancient times, sitting in the Ninth Five-Year position has been entangled in mundane affairs and it is difficult to concentrate on martial arts, so almost no emperor has broken through to the fairyland. Emperor Zhou is No. 1. He has shown many emperors a new path .But this road is not feasible.”

"After Zhou Huang became a wandering immortal, he changed."

Chu Yunsheng's eyebrows moved slightly: "Changed?"

Xie Chengyun nodded: "Emperor Zhou is the emperor who took over the mess of his father and brother. Although it is difficult to save Zhou's decline, he can be regarded as a benevolent and wise emperor. But after borrowing the sword to become a wandering immortal, he suddenly Changed his temperament, knowing that Zhou's power will be weakened, but still want to build a large-scale construction project and build a palace. He is not good at beauty, but he recruits all beauties from all over the world, and even robs his ministers' wives. The code of torture, cramping and skinning, mutilating Zhongliang."

"External demon?" Chu Yun asked.

Xie Chengyun shook his head: "It's not a foreign demon. At that time, the immortals of the Four Views of the World jointly investigated and confirmed that Zhou Huang's primordial spirit was safe. Three years later, Zhou Huang was caught by the Tianzi sword that suddenly fell from his hand during the sacrificial ceremony at Wentian Peak. Stabbed to death, the cause of death is strange and ridiculous."

"Some people say that the Son of Heaven Sword is unfinished, so there is backlash. Others say that the people from overseas lied to Emperor Zhou. The Son of Heaven Sword is a magic sword. It is unknown. Rumors are rampant, but there is nothing to prove it."

"After that, everyone knows about it."

"Northern Qi sent troops again. Great Xia has already strengthened its national power by taking advantage of the Zhou Emperor's delay. The four sides fought, and Great Xia had the last laugh and ruled the world."

"The Tianzi sword was lost during the war, but more than 20 years ago, the ballad that was composed in the Later Zhou Dynasty suddenly spread out and spread in the rivers and lakes. There are even some reports that the Tianzi sword was lost a few years ago. The descendants of many swordsmiths hid it, and when Daxia found it, it was taken by the current Daxia royal family."

"Because of these true and false news, the Wulin was in chaos for a long time. There was blood and blood everywhere, and the wind was turbulent. The families of the few swordsmiths who could be found were all wiped out by mysterious forces overnight. This incident finally aroused the fury of the court. , Feilongwei swept the rivers and lakes, killed many people, arrested many people, the song and the chaotic rumors gradually died down, and no one dared to mention it again."

A legendary past brought about by a sword.

Although Xie Chengyun's words were brief, but Chu Yun's voice was heard in his ears, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the magnificent turbulent times and the grievances and grievances in the world.

"After so many years, the Nine Immortals Palace suddenly conspired against the Emperor's Sword. This matter is by no means simple." Xie Chengyun said seriously.

Chu Yunsheng took a look at Xie Chengyun, turned around with the knife, and said in a low voice, "You knew that someone would come. You also knew about the Nine Immortal Palace and the Son of Heaven Sword."

Xie Chengyun's dignified expression slightly retracted, and the tip of his eyes slightly raised.

The hem of the skirt flowed like a light cloud, and Chu Yunsheng stopped half a foot in front of Xie Chengyun: "Ding Aoyu almost confirmed that Ji Ling had obtained the Tianzi Sword, and you fought Ji Ling knowing that everyone would get her and kill her." However, she still didn't kill her, but left her alive and imprisoned her. If she didn't want to interrogate her, then she was given a chance to be rescued—you, or the Xie family where you are , himself is in this game, and may also be the person who set up the game."

"Leave me, let me be a sword servant, and bring me to the place where the seven martial arts will be held in a high-profile way, but it's just to lure the snake out of the hole."

"There are at least two forces behind Ji Ling. One is the Youxian who rescued her, and the other is the Nine Immortals Palace. The former knows that Ji Ling has been saved, so he will not be fooled. The latter does not know, so he will naturally send someone to help him."

"You killed Ding Aoyu, made him come and go, and allowed me to move around freely. With me as the most trusted sword servant, Jiuxian Palace will inevitably doubt whether Ji Ling has betrayed the sect and entered Xie's house. Ji Ling's betrayal is a small matter, but the loss of the Son of Heaven sword is a major matter. After the Nine Immortals Palace, stronger warriors will definitely be sent to investigate the Xie family. The Xie family did not get the Son of Heaven sword, but they stood on the cusp of the storm because of it. The gain outweighs the loss."

There was a pause in the speech, and Chu Yun said: "Young Master Xie, but I don't know, what do you and the Xie family want to do?"

Staring at the pair of dark eyes that were close at hand, Xie Chengyun's expressionless face suddenly curled up, revealing a hearty smile.

He stepped up, approached three inches, and said softly: "Ji Ling is carrying the Emperor Sword. The Xie family really didn't know about it, and the body search found nothing. To save her life, I did know that she succeeded in stealing the Emperor Sword in Da Nei." , wanting to interrogate the whereabouts of this sword. As for what the Xie family is asking for, it is actually the same as many thousand-year-old families in this world."

"It's just that what the Xie family is asking for is more."

Chu Yunsheng was not surprised by this answer, but he knew that it was not a complete answer.In Xie Chengyun's mouth at this time, there are definitely more lies than truth, and there are definitely more concealments than honesty.

Moreover, even though he just lived in Xie's house for one night, he had a strange feeling about this thousand-year-old family.

Due to the fact that he currently knows too little information, he does not know where this strangeness comes from.

"Did the Xie family ask for more, or did Xie Chengyun ask for more?" Chu Yun asked.

As if he didn't expect Chu Yunsheng to ask this question, Xie Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

He leaned sideways on Chu Yunsheng's shoulder and lightly passed through the hair of Chu Yunsheng's temple with his cool fingertips, and gently straightened a slightly crooked pearl hairpin.With similar breaths, Xie Chengyun sighed, and said softly: "I'm so cute, I can't tell you these things..."

With this low call, the faint feeling of stagnation of swords on the verge of swords and swords confrontation eased, and the flow of true energy and summer breeze around him became light again.

If you can't ask, don't ask again.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a while, and then said: "If there is someone who wants to kill, I can accompany you to kill."

The pearl hairpin on the temple shivered imperceptibly.

Xie Chengyun withdrew his fingers and smiled: "I don't have any big hatred in my heart, and I'm not a big devil. How can anyone want to kill someone?"

"It's been a long time since you and I left the scene. It's time to go back, lest Fang Wenmin laugh at your young master for running away and being a good friend who shares weal and woe."

With that said, Xie Chengyun took out a porcelain bottle, uncorked it and poured it over, the yellow liquid fell, and Ding Aoyu's body melted like a piece of ice quickly.

Chu Yunsheng had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and had no reaction to it, but ordinary martial arts Zhengdao would not carry corpse-transforming water, and would melt other people's corpses without blinking, even though Xie Chengyun was not a big demon He has a head, but he is definitely not in the same league as a gentle and kind son of a family.

After dealing with the murder scene, and quickly solving the needs in the latrine, after a quarter of an hour, Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun returned to the martial arts arena one by one.

Fang Wenmin didn't laugh at Xie Chengyun for going to a latrine for a long time, on the contrary, he looked gossip, looked at Chu Yun's voice, and winked at Xie Chengyun, as if he was harboring an ulterior secret.

In the evening, the martial arts meeting of the seven major martial arts halls ended, and the Chonghe martial arts hall set up a half-night banquet on the martial arts field to entertain all the martial arts heroes who came here.

Xie Chengyun didn't have the arrogance and reserve of a family member, he lifted his robe and sat down, eating casually and happily.Chu Yunsheng had to take a little bit of female manners into consideration and restrained his manners. After all, he was a movie star, so he had to pay attention to details when acting.

After drinking and eating, the two led the horse for a stroll, and walked back to Xie's mansion along the brightly lit long street.

In the next half month, Xie Chengyun wanted to prepare for the opening of the sword stage to face many powerful enemies, so he announced that he would retreat in the quiet room of Hemingyuan to refine his state of mind and adjust his state to the best.

Except when delivering three meals a day to the door of the quiet room, Chu Yunsheng could occasionally hear Xie Chengyun's words once or twice, and catch a glimpse of his figure, but the rest of the time, he couldn't see him at all.

Xie Chengyun could not retreat, and Chu Yunsheng was not idle.

He follows Xie Chengyun's schedule, gets up before dawn to practice swords every day, and meditates every night before going to bed. Integrating into the knife technique bit by bit, the virtual and the real complement each other, harmonious and natural.

In addition to practicing swords, Chu Yunsheng would go out every few days to take a stroll around the capital.

Xie Chengyun did not tell others about Chu Yunsheng's identity before retreating, nor did he confess that Chu Yunsheng was not allowed to leave the house, so everyone in the Heming Academy regarded Chu Yunsheng as a real sword servant, except for some important Xie family members. In addition, there are no restrictions on entry and exit.

Chu Yun made it clear that if Xie Chengyun really wanted to put him under house arrest, he would never forget to give orders to Xie's family, but he didn't give orders, whether it was because of a little trust that Ding Aoyu might have developed after the incident or other plans, he was really not afraid He colluded with the enemy or ran away, and that was all clear - Xie Chengyun returned his free body without restriction.

This acquiescence was not wasted, Chu Yunsheng went in and out of Xie's house or Shangjing quite frequently.

From this, Chu Yunsheng also noticed something strange.

Others may not know about Xie Chengyun's arrest of Ji Ling, but his father, elder brother, and senior officials of the Xie family should all know about it.Even if Xie Chengyun reported the accident, but day by day, they really are not curious about this sword servant, don't want to meet, don't try?

After all, this is related to Tianzijian. He doesn't believe that the Xie family can trust him so much just based on his own rhetoric and some investigations.

But the fact is, except for Xie Chengyun, Chu Yunsheng, a senior member of the Xie family, has never seen any of them.

And the Xie family, as a family of swordsmanship, no longer enlisted members of the direct lineage to become officials like other families from a long time ago. It seems that they have made up their mind to concentrate on martial arts and not to care too much about the affairs of the court.

The high-level people live in seclusion, so it’s okay if they don’t see them, but even in the entire Xie family mansion, Chu Yunsheng didn’t see many servants, guards, or guests. Compared with other prosperous families, the Xie family is almost simple and low-key.

But whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the imperial court, as long as the Xie family still has Youxian alive and the famous sword Cai Yunjian suppressing it, no matter how simple things are, no matter how small the number of people is, it is still a thousand-year-old family with extraordinary heritage, which cannot be underestimated. watch for.

"Miss Chu, here!"

In front of the gate of the Shangjing Wulin League, the people in the market are crowded and crowded.

At the tea stand by the roadside, Fang Wenmin raised his folding fan sideways and shouted loudly. Li Ming, who was carrying an epee, saw Chu Yunsheng and nodded in the distance.

In the past half month, Chu Yunsheng had been in contact with Fang Wenmin and Li Ming from time to time, but they became acquaintances.

"Brother Fang, Brother Li."

Stepping like flowing water and breeze, avoiding the crowd while moving, he easily entered the tea stand, and Chu Yunsheng sat down.

Besides Fang Wenmin and Li Ming, beside the table in the tea stall, there was also Yu Dan who also came out to stroll around from time to time recently.It's just that even though Yu Dan went out, he was still reticent and withdrawn. Among the four of them, at least he spoke, and only spoke occasionally.

Fang Wenmin smiled, and habitually said: "Miss Chu's body is exquisite, she is as graceful as a fairy, and it is difficult for ordinary eyes to catch it. It really makes a certain heart yearn for it."

Both Chu Yunsheng and Li Ming were indifferent to Fang Wenmin's casual flattery, and they didn't have the leisurely mind to flatter each other like Xie Chengyun, so they bowed their heads to drink tea, and the other looked at the side of the martial arts alliance gate with great joy. Huge monument.Fang Wenmin sighed, waved his fan, and missed his close friend Mr. Xie very much.

The Wulin League is a rivers and lakes organization established by the imperial court, the leader of the alliance is the late Dingdan period, and on the huge stele in front of the Wulin League, there are three lists listed by Daxia and several famous sects.

Today is the first day of July, which is the day to change the list.

Every day on this day, the people of Shangjing and the Jianghu people will all come to this giant monument at the same time, waiting for the latest ranking of Jianghu masters.

That may be a little far away from them, but it is human nature to watch the excitement and gather resources for conversation.How can there be an idler who can't open his mouth to talk about the ranking of the three rankings, but shut his mouth and talk about the world's heroes?If you ask three questions and don't know, then even bragging is inferior.

Chu Yunsheng was a little curious about making the list. Fang Wenmin found out about it the day before yesterday, so he clamored to see the list and join in the fun.

It is always different when the news is delivered to my desk, and standing in front of the huge monument, looking up at the list, and listening to the loud and loud discussions beside me.

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the surrounding crowd suddenly boiled and rushed forward even more violently.

After Chu Yun's prestige passed, he saw the gate of the Martial Arts League opened, and a team of guards came out, went to the huge monument, took off three scrolls, and hung three brand new ones on it.

After hanging up, three guards pulled the red rope of the huge scroll, and the scroll flowed down like a waterfall.

The first list of ascension to immortality, listed 22 immortals, without any changes, only in the record of No.10 Shangqingzong "Dingtian Zhenren" Xu Zhige, there was an extra line of serious injuries to the "Night Lord" of the Longevity God Sect. Sada's text.

"Night Lord" A Shida is the leader of the Longevity Sect, ranked No. 14 on the list of ascension to immortality, and his defeat by Xu Zhige has no effect on the ranking.

"The number one traveling immortal in the world, Li Youzhen, the 'Big Dipper' of the Great Xia royal family...Second, Pei Xinfang, the 'judge' of Wugou Villa, and the third, Wen Bi, the 'Danqingshou' of the Nine Mountains of Kunlun..."

Chu Yun prestige is at the top of the promotion list.

There is a veritable top three in the world.

"There is a master of Dingdan on the list of shocking gods who has fallen!"

Someone said in surprise, causing countless eyes to turn to the second scroll.

"The one who fell was Wuhen Island's 'Ecstasy Envoy' Sun Chengxue! She has been famous for many years as a master in the late stage of Dingdan, and she is only one line away from breaking through to the peak of Dingdan. She is No.17 on the list of shocking gods, and she is already in the world. There are countless masters, how could they be kicked out by the 'Clear Water Knife' Bai Haoyuan who ranked twenty!"

"After the 'Clear Water Knife' battle, it's not twenty on the list, but fifteen!"

"Jiangnan is such a big place. Both Wuhen Island and Bailishui Gang want to take the top spot. Naturally, there will be constant friction. When they fight, it's not a surprise that they lose the master..."

There was a lot of discussion in front of the monument.

Fang Wenmin jumped up and took a look without any image, and sighed: "The top ten of the White Dragon Ranking still haven't changed, but it will be different next month or so. Brother Xie opened the sword stage, not to mention anything else, it's more than enough to be in the top ten .”

Li Ming nodded slightly, looked at the top of the White Dragon Ranking with fighting spirit in his eyes, and said, "'Slaying Sword' Lin Ce, I heard that he is about to enter the alchemy realm. Before he breaks through, I will definitely have a fight with him!"

"Brother Xie's news of opening the sword arena has spread all over the world. In the past few days, countless masters have poured into the capital. The 'Slaying Sword' is a good sword, and you will never miss such a grand event. How do you want to learn at that time? But how to compete, just don't lose too badly, or even lose the face of my friend."

Fang Wenmin laughed jokingly.

As he said that, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Dan who had been silent like an invisible person all this time: "Brother Yu, do you want to challenge Brother Xie when you open the sword stage? I heard about your Dragon Spear, but you have long wanted to fight Fuxue Sword gone."

Yu Dan stopped drinking tea and shook his head: "Don't fight now, there will always be a chance in the future. My gun is not perfect yet."

Fang Wenmin closed his fan and sighed with a smile: "Tsk, you are another martial idiot. You, Li Ming, and Miss Chu all take martial arts as their lives. Fang has a hard life, and he has a romantic heart. But I made a bunch of friends who are devoted to martial arts, miserable, miserable."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dan gave Chu Yunsheng a strange look in his eyes, but didn't say much, and still drank his tea with his head down.

"Miss Chu, your Mr. Xie should break through tomorrow, right?"

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are informal, Fang Wenmin joked, and said with a low laugh: "The mountain roads of Cangxi Mountain have been swept a hundred times, and I just wait for him to enter the mountain tomorrow. I will not fight then, Go protect him."

Chu Yunsheng nodded: "Thank you, Brother Fang."

"Hey, why are you being polite to me!" Fang Wenmin laughed.

After reading the list, the four of them went to the restaurant to have a meal, and Fang went home after the show.

The next day, the second day of July.

Xie Chengyun went out of the pass, bathed and burned incense, went out of Shangjing with a sword, and climbed Cangxi Mountain.

Chu Yunsheng followed behind, facing the mountain wind, and saw a high platform high on the cliff amidst the clouds and mist.

This stone platform is simple and crude, but extremely strong. It is Xie Chengyun's sword platform.
