treacherous world

The Heavenly Demon Umbrella was made by Zhu Jiuzhi, a deceased elder of the Heavenly Demon Palace.Zhu Jiuzhi died of illness when Zhan Zhao was eight years old.That year, Zhan Zhao went to Tianmo Palace with his mother for the first time. He was very impressed by Tianmo Palace. The majestic Tianmo Mountain was hidden above the clouds and mist. many.

Xiao Zhanzhao walked up and down the intricate courtyard of the Tianmo Palace, and he walked for a long time without finishing.He met a lot of people from Tianmo Palace. These people were of all kinds, some were vicious, some were weird, and some were very friendly.

Zhu Jiuzhi was buried on the northwest slope of Tianmo Palace.That hillside is very high, and there are many graves on it. People who died in the Tianmo Palace are buried there. It overlooks the entire Tianmo Palace, and it is the closest place to the sky.

Zhan Zhao also knew Zhu Jiuzhi. Although he only had nine fingers, he was very dexterous and good at making weapons.The 36 sleeve arrows that Zhan Zhao now wears are evenly distributed in the sleeve arrow barrel. They are light and tough, and they are not in the way at all when worn on the arms. This is what Zhu Jiuzhi made.He carefully made the sleeve arrow barrel into a loose buckle, so that no matter how old Zhan Zhao grows, even if he will become a big fat man with thick arms, he can still wear it.

Zhan Zhao remembered that his mother told him to go to the funeral, and he knew that his beloved Grandpa Zhu had died, so he cried very sadly, and went with red eyes. A laugh.

On the night of Mr. Zhu's burial, everyone set up a pergola with lights, festoons, festoons, drums and music, drinking and eating meat as if celebrating a wedding.

Zhan Zhao asked his mother in bewilderment, why are you celebrating?

His mother told Zhan Zhao, "These uncles and aunts are very kind to you, but the people in the Demon Cult have done bad things."

"What kind of bad thing?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"It's all kinds of things, they are not good people." Yin Lanci smiled helplessly, "So I feel that I will die in the future, and it seems to them that they are very lucky to die like Lao Zhu, so they have to celebrate one time."

Zhan Zhao didn't understand anymore, "They treat me so well, are they not good people? Then what kind of people are good people?"

Yin Lanci patted his head, "Zhao, there are people doing good things in the Jianghu, but there are no real good people. There are also people doing bad things in the Jianghu, but not all of them are really bad people."

His mother's words made the clever little Zhan Zhao's head twitch twice, and he walked around, Zhan Zhao asked, "So mother does so many good things to offset the uncle who is not a bad person but has done bad things." The bad things done by aunts and aunts, can they not die badly in the future, can they die like good people who have done good things but are not necessarily good people?"

Zhan Zhao was young at the time, and his voice was crunchy. Although it wasn't loud, when he said a word, all the noisy monsters nearby suddenly fell silent.

Yin Lanci touched his cheeks, Zhan Zhao smiled and patted his chest and said, "Then I will do a lot of good things in the future. I can do a lot of things when I am young, so that everyone can die together?"

"Pfft..." Chongsan was next to him, and Wu Yifu was sprayed all over his face with three sips of wine.

Yin Hou laughed loudly, held up the wine jar to ask everyone to toast, and said that he would wait until the end of his life!From that day on, people from Tianmo Palace would ask, "When will you die?"

This may be the reason why Zhan Zhao aspired to be a Southern knight in the first place.

He felt that if he smiled at others, the fierceness of uncles and uncles towards others would be offset a bit.Of course, this is the naive idea of ​​a child, and in the end, one gets used to being a good person.

Zhan Zhao has always been very fortunate to be a "good" person, because it is not so easy to be a bad person.The reason why Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu can be so reckless and bad is because they themselves represent justice!In other words, if everyone knows that Zhan Zhao is the descendant of the world's most evil person, then it will be difficult for him to be a "good" person from now on. Even if he does good deeds every day, in the end he is just a bad person who has done good deeds.

So, good and bad are the same thing, it’s not that you think about it, and you can get it if you think about it!Of course, if you want to be bad, you can be bad if you want to be bad!

Zhu Jiuzhi has made countless weapons in his life, and he is especially good at making machines and closing particularly complicated hidden weapons.And this Heavenly Demon Umbrella is his proud work.

Back then, the Gorefiend organized a Bloodfiend Sect with thousands of disciples, all of whom learned the Bloodfiend Kungfu, so the harm was extremely harmful.

Blood Demon Kung Fu is cold and venomous, and if you fight against someone who is good at Blood Demon Kung Fu, you may be poisoned and die if your internal strength is slightly weak.

Hong Jiuniang is good at hitting hidden weapons, but no matter how accurate the Xiujian is, it can only kill dozens of people at a time. She and Zhu Jiuzhi studied, "Can we kill all those 1000 people together?"

Zhu Jiuzhi shook his head at the time, saying it was absolutely impossible—a thousand pruning bundles were at least as big as a round table, so how could they be carried around?

Hong Jiuniang had already given up on this idea, but Zhu Jiuzhi dreamed of a round table at night, thinking about how to carry a round table with him without being suspected, and it is very convenient to use?Round and round, he finally thought of an umbrella!

When the umbrella is opened, isn’t it just a round table?Put it away and take it with you without arousing suspicion.So he started to make this Heavenly Demon Umbrella with a thousand hidden arrows.

The moment the umbrella buckle is opened, turn the umbrella facing the enemy, and a thousand sleeve arrows will be shot out instantly.Moreover, the power of knocking on the umbrella buckle is huge, and the arrow has a strong penetrating ability, which can easily penetrate iron plates and brick walls, and the lethality is astonishing.

Back then, Hong Jiuniang used it once, and almost killed all the little blood demons in the Blood Demon Sect. In the list of hidden weapons in the martial arts, the Omen Umbrella ranked first.

However, Jiuniang didn't open the Tianmo Umbrella much later, mainly because it was too troublesome to pick up and put back the thousand sleeve arrows.

Zhan Zhao saw this umbrella when he was very young, and he was almost curious to open the mechanism. At that time, Hong Jiuniang pinched his cheek and said with a smile, "When you learn the peerless sword technique of the palace master, you can hold it It's time to play.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand, so Jiu Niang opened the Heavenly Demon Umbrella to Yin Hou.

When the thousand sleeve arrows were shot, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide in shock, thinking that his grandfather was going to be trapped into a hornet's nest.But Yin Hou used the Heavenly Demon Sword at that moment, easily dispelling the array of arrows.

Zhan Zhao remembered that set of sword skills deeply in his heart.He has learned kung fu from many people, mainly because he is extremely talented and light-boned, which is an excellent talent for practicing martial arts, among them there are many eminent monks and hermits.Zhan Zhao's martial arts are complicated and unique, and he knows some unique skills that have disappeared.Because there are all the big devils in the Tianmo Palace, each of them taught him the skills of housekeeping, and he was full of skills.

Only Yin Hou, the Princess of the Heavenly Demon Palace, that is, the kung fu taught to him by his grandfather, Zhan Zhao almost never used it.If you want to ask why?It's probably the same as Bai Yutang's never using those unique skills of the ancestors of Tianshan-it's impossible!

Yin Hou and the ancestor of Tianshan are two people with extremely extreme personalities. The ancestor of Tianshan usually talks very little but looks very gentleman, but he uses a knife. But it is a sword.

Knives are not always domineering. The Wanling Knife of the ancestor of Tianshan Mountain is probably the most silent knife in the world.And the sword is not always for a gentleman. Yin Hou's Shanhai Sword is the most strange sword in the world.

With the opening of the Heavenly Demon Umbrella, Zhan Zhao rushed out with a whoosh, leaping towards the Wuyou Inn.

Xie Baihua only heard the sound of the wind in his ears, at the same time, the umbrella was opened, three sides were stretched out facing the Wuyou Inn, and a thousand sleeve arrows were shot out.

But a red figure appeared in front of him, blocking the front of Wuyou Inn.

Xie Baihua was a little dizzy at the time, because the array of thousands of sleeve arrows blocked his sight.

As soon as Zhan Zhao saw the arrow array falling, he raised his inner strength and swung his sword several times in the air. The speed of the sword was so fast that everyone could only see the intricate traces left by the giant tower across the night sky, as if writing a mountain character.

Fortunately, the arrow array blocked them, so the three nearby sects couldn't see clearly, but Bai Yutang, Zhao Pu, etc. who were still high in the distance could see clearly.

Zhao Pu was startled, "Shanhai..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang kicked him, and Zhao Pu also knew that he had slipped his words, so he quickly swallowed the second half of the sentence, and raised his hand to Bai Yutang - sorry!

Tang Shitou didn't understand, and asked Xiao Liang in unison, "What about mountains and seas?"

Yue Yang glanced at the two of them, "I heard wrong, it's sea cucumber!"

"Huh?" The two looked at Yue Yang puzzled, a little puzzled, obviously hearing something about mountains and seas.

Bai Yutang glanced at Yue Yang, while Yue Yang rubbed his chin and stared at the front carefully, his eyes sparkling.Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu looked at each other - what is the origin of this Yueyang?At his age, even if he was allowed to see the Shanhai Sword, he might not be able to know what kind of sword technique it is. This kid, why is he so experienced in the world?

Zhan Zhao's sword move was swung in the air, it didn't cut anything, but it swept out the strong wind with huge internal energy.

The gust of wind swept across the house with a sound of "woo hoo", the wooden window edges creaked, and countless tiles flew out from the top of the wall. The disciples of the three sects fell on their backs one by one, their clothes were torn I don't know where the strange wind came from.

Holding the umbrella, Xie Baihua felt that his hands were heavy. He took a step back to stabilize the umbrella in his hand, and found that the tiger's mouth was numb. He frowned and used his internal strength to resist it to avoid internal injuries.After all, he has profound internal skills, and it is not for nothing that he can become the master of the four major sects at a young age.It's just that he doesn't know which martial arts supreme has suddenly arrived?He didn't see the deep inner strength and that sword move clearly, but he definitely never saw it before!

After the gust of wind swept away, the arrow formation suddenly changed...the arrow tip was pointing upwards, straight to the heavens.

Zhao Pu suddenly understood, "Oh! The demon umbrella is round. When it is opened, the arrow will shoot out ahead of time with the thrust of the umbrella. Then the person holding the umbrella turns the umbrella to control the range of the arrow formation. The greater the turning force, the greater the damage range of the arrow formation. It's also bigger. But there is a weakness, after the umbrella rotates, the Shuriken does not push forward flatly, but turns around!"

Bai Yutang nodded, Zhao Pu was indeed not an ordinary person, and he understood the essence of it at a glance, "Use extremely strong internal strength to create a strong wind, and change the rotation direction of the sleeve arrow with the sword. When the direction changes, the attack direction of the sleeve arrow will be changed." It also changed. If there is no one on the ground, let the arrow point down. In an instant, all the sleeve arrows will be shot into the ground without hurting anyone. This time because there are people on the ground, Zhan Zhao let the arrow point up and shoot into the sky. , apart from shooting down a few unlucky passing birds, it won’t hurt anyone.”

"But what if the sleeve arrow falls off?" Xiao Liang was worried that the people below would be accidentally injured.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "The things made by Zhu Jiuzhi are treasures, and they pay attention to the details. The sleeve arrows are all hollow with balls inside. Once they fly upwards, the balls sink to the bottom, and when they fall, the arrows hit the ground first. , won't hurt anyone."

Tang Shitou and Xiao Liang looked at each other and wondered, how could Bai Yutang even know the internal structure of Xiujian?Sure enough, he is an old Jianghu, so he knows everything?

But in fact, it was because Bai Yutang had studied Zhan Zhao's sleeve arrow.

Sure enough, where Bai Yutang's voice fell, the sleeve arrows had already "clacked" all over the ground, and they all fell head-on, without hurting anyone...

Zhan Zhao retracted the sword into its sheath, and the brilliance of the Ju Que disappeared instantly. The slight sound of the sword and the unique calm momentum of the Ju Que left in the air made everyone feel afraid of this ancient black sword.

Xie Baihua frowned when he saw clearly who was falling behind, "Zhan Zhao?"

The three sects all lacked confidence in an instant, not because of anything else, but because Zhan Zhao had just easily cracked the Heavenly Demon Umbrella... The high martial arts really lived up to their reputation.

"Why does Nanxia Zhanzhao of Kaifeng Mansion help the devil of the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Xie Baihua threw the Heavenly Demon Umbrella to the ground.

Zhan Zhao frowned, watching Zhu Jiu's treasured Heavenly Demon Umbrella fall to the ground, feeling a little oppressed in his chest.

A piece of red silk flew down from the roof, rolled up the demon umbrella and took it back. Hong Jiuniang checked carefully, and found that there was no bump, so she jumped up and said, "Master Zhan, I want to report to the official, that sissy stole My stuff!"

Zhan Zhao looked up helplessly, and saw Hong Jiuniang smiling at herself with her arms around the Heavenly Demon Umbrella, and said, "There are not many masters who can crack the Heavenly Demon Umbrella in this world! Mr. Zhan is so young that he actually With this kind of martial arts attainments, he is simply a master of masters! What is rare is that he is also handsome, with a good temper, a good reputation, a good family background, and good relatives. The dead flowers and rotten leaves can be compared. Who taught you kung fu? Especially the one who taught you how to use hidden weapons!" Hong Jiuniang gave a thumbs up, "It is definitely the supreme martial arts, the best hidden weapon in the world !"

Zhan Zhao lost all anger, Hong Jiuniang is selling melons and boasting, isn't she the one who taught him how to use hidden weapons?

Seeing that Hong Jiuniang had the urge to jump down and hug Zhan Zhao for a kiss, Wu Yifu quickly grabbed him, "Oh, mother-in-law, take it easy."

Hong Jiuniang coughed, and became more and more complacent——Zhan Zhao's martial arts has become better and better over the past few years, and just now he received the Tianmo Umbrella's "Shan Hai Jian" Shan Zi Jue, which is almost [-]% of Yin Hou's skill. Rich enough!

Xiao Liang tugged on Zhao Pu's clothes and asked, "Master, Master, what was Brother Zhan's move just now? It's so powerful, can you beat him?"

Zhao Pu pinched his ear, "You little bastard, what are you asking me for?!"

"Oh." Xiao Liang covered his ears, "No, a sword seems to be stronger than a knife!"

"You son of a bitch, say it again!" Zhao Pu pinched Xiao Liang and wanted to spank his ass.

Tang Shitou also took a look at Bai Yutang, "As expected, Big Brother Zhan is the most powerful!"

Bai Yutang smiled nonchalantly, and looked at Zhao Pu who was beside him, Zhao Pu was so angry - the limelight was overshadowed!

Squatting on the distant roof with Zi Ying and Zhe Ying who were watching the excitement, Zi Ying curled her lips, "Bai Yutang has been stealing the prince's limelight before, but this time Zhan Zhao has also started to grab the limelight, and we are at a disadvantage!"

Zhe Ying thought for a while, "Why don't we just hope that Liao and Xixia will send troops again, so that the Marshal can show his prestige?"

Ziying continued to curl her lips, "There is not even a bird in the Northwest, who will show the prestige?! If I knew I would not join the army, I would go to the rivers and lakes!"

Zhan Zhao looked at Xie Baihua, and then at both sides.The woman in Wuyi Castle, who should be the deputy castle master Wu Zaiqing Zhanzhao slightly cupped her hands, "You three, it's late at night, causing disturbances now will disturb the people of Kaifeng."

"Master Zhan." Xie Baihua dragged out his tone, looking up and down Zhan Zhao, admiring that Zhan Zhao had heard that his martial arts skills were outstanding and his appearance was really well-deserved.He originally liked men, and thought Zhan Zhao was the best, so his temper softened a little, and he said slowly, "Two or three hundred people died in my Lianhualou. I am the one who suffers, can I ask you to seek revenge?"

At this time, Ouyang Shaozheng's men and horses had arrived. He had slept soundly in the middle of the night and was disturbed. When he heard that there was a big commotion here, he brought people here in a rage. He thought he was idle in Kaifeng. It's almost like working hard in the desert.Unexpectedly, Kaifeng didn't stop for a day. It was ten times busier than the desert. It would be better to drink the northwest wind in the desert!He yelled angrily, "This is Kaifeng, what the fuck are you thinking of as a vegetable market? You don't want anyone to sleep!"

Hong Jiuniang blinked on the roof and smiled, "I like this official!"

Ouyang Shaozheng looked up and woke up—yo!Good shape!

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Pu, "I know why you made him a vanguard officer."

Zhao Pu raised his forehead, and Ziying continued to curl her lips, "What a shame!"

Xie Baihua leaned there without moving, "Master Zhan, I have found the murderer of the Lotus Building for you, why don't you take these demons back and interrogate them?"

Zhan Zhao still showed the arrogance that Mr. Zhan should have, "It's up to you whether it's a murder or not. The Kaifeng government will investigate, but it's true that you almost became a murder suspect just now. The staff in Wuyou Inn are at least Dozens of people, you are considered an attempted murder!"

"Hehe." Xie Baihua shrugged, "I just picked up the Heavenly Demon Umbrella from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and I just wanted to return it to Hong Jiuniang with good intentions. What's wrong with it? It's just that the Heavenly Demon Umbrella is too difficult to control, so I slipped the arrow in it. It just came out, and I don’t know who made it, such a bad craftsmanship! That’s right...is there a finger missing, it’s clumsy.”

"You fart! Lao Zhu's toes are better than your fingers!" Hong Jiuniang immediately became angry, this Xie Baihuazui is too cheap, even the dead are ridiculed.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Master Xie, you don't need to defend yourself, I believe you! There are more than 200 people here, plus 300 from the Imperial City Army, as well as the heads of the two major sects and the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace, including me. It's the turtle bastard!"

"Pfft..." Zi Ying rolled away laughing, "Zhan Zhao is so funny!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xie Baihua's face.

Wu Zaiqing suddenly asked, "Master Zhan, it seems that he is facing the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Zhan Zhao picked out his ears, "Vice-Prince Wubao seems to be facing the Hundred Flowers League."

"Naturally, our four major gangs are connected with each other." Wu Zaiqing smiled slightly, "Xia Zhannan is full of righteousness, so he won't join hands with people from the Demon Cult, right?"

Zhan Zhao still smiled gently, "Girl Wu, I didn't do bad things with the gangsters, I was preventing the gangsters from doing bad things. Whoever ganged up with the gangsters and murdered people would know in their hearts. It's still the same sentence, it's the turtle bastard who lied."

Wu Zaiqing's face turned red, isn't this Zhan Zhao a knight from the south?Why are you so unprofessional?But it's really nice to smile!

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly, this cat... came again!

Xue Chengxiong looked at Xie Baihua, "Leader Xie, since there are people in the government stopping today, why not wait until tomorrow when all the martial arts seniors arrive, and then clean up the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Wu Yifu sneered, "It's still this kid who knows the current affairs and is a hero. You people of justice always like to attack in groups. How can you get it if you don't have a few backers, huh?"

Xue Chengxiong seemed to have a cold personality. He looked at the brown love eagle in his arms with a broken claw, and then glanced at Wu Yifu, "Wu Yifu, you hurt my love eagle. Let's write down this account." After finishing speaking, he turned the horse's head and led the people from Tianying Villa to leave first.

Wu Zaiqing also left with the people from Wuyibao.

Xie Baihua was left behind, although he was a little unwilling, but he glanced at Zhan Zhao, waved his hand, and said lazily, "Let's let these old ghosts go today!"

Zhan Zhao watched the people from Hundred Flowers League walk away, and sighed softly.He had indeed heard that Xie Baihua was a ruthless character, but most of the rumors in the world were not true, just like many people said that Bai Yutang was ruthless.But now it seems that Xie Baihua is simply a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, with evil intentions!And Xue Chengxiong and Wu Zaiqing were either in the same ranks as him or did not distinguish between right and wrong... Such three sects controlled the future of the Central Plains martial arts, which is really worrying.

Seeing that the commotion had subsided, Ouyang Shaozheng yawned and waved to everyone—return to the camp and continue to sleep!

Everyone left, Zhan Zhao looked at Hong Jiuniang and Wu Yifu on the roof.

Hong Jiuniang pretended not to know Zhan Zhao, and said to Wu Yifu, "I'm not dead, carry me into the house, I'm trapped to death." Wu Yifu immediately went over to pick her up, and Hong Jiuniang secretly swayed to Zhan Zhao. He waved his hand to indicate to Bai Yutang and others on the roof in the distance, next time we talk about the past, the two entered the house and closed the window.

Zhan Zhao wanted to say something, but couldn't say, Bai Yutang and the others were still there.

At this time, Xiao Liang and Tang Shitou had already jumped off the roof, and ran over to ask Zhan Zhao what kind of sword move he had just made.

Zhan Zhao made a perfunctory sentence, saying that he just waved it casually, and both of them said they wanted to learn it.

The turmoil has subsided temporarily, but it doesn't mean that it will be fine in the future - it's just the beginning. Just now, Xie Baihua and the others also said that people from the Central Plains martial arts will come one after another in the future, and they may come to masters. Everyone originally came to discuss How to deal with the blood demon guts, this time... it is estimated that they will join forces to deal with the Heavenly Demon Palace again.The Tianmo Palace has been reclusive in martial arts for thirty years, and now the palace is full of old men and women in their 70s, 90s or even [-]s.To put it bluntly, everyone didn't accept apprentices just to wait for death, and after death, the Heavenly Demon Palace would cease to exist.But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and there is a great disparity in power between good and evil in the martial arts world. Once they really set their sights on the Heavenly Demon Palace... Zhan Zhao didn't dare to think that these old men and women would die!Everyone said yes!

Back in Kaifeng mansion, Bai Yutang lay down and continued to sleep, Zhan Zhao saw that he didn't ask any questions, just sat by the bed in a daze.

"Cat." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pull him, "Go to bed early."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao was worried about the safety of everyone in the Tianmo Palace, so he didn't have the time to sleep. Now everyone in the Jianghu knows that they live in the Wuyou Inn, and they can escape today. If there are more Jianghu people chasing and killing them tomorrow Woolen cloth?

"Cat."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw Bai Yutang handing him something, which was a copper key.

Zhan Zhao held the key, a little puzzled.

"In Kaifeng Wharf, in the five boathouses on the ground, there is a painting boat parked. It is very big and can accommodate a dozen or twenty people. This is the key to open the door of the warehouse. This boat was called by the second brother a few days ago. I brought it here as a present for you, if you have friends coming to play, you can let them live in it." Bai Yutang turned around, covered the quilt and said, "Ximen Yao recently opened a piano shop, many singers are good, you If friends like it, they can borrow the boat to play and sing."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and Bai Yutang gave him a painting boat, on which Qin Ji could play and sing to deceive others, there were a dozen or twenty people hiding in the cabin so that no one would find out, and they could leave as soon as they wanted to.

Zhan Zhao held the key and looked at Bai Yutang, "You... know?"

Bai Yutang turned around and asked, "Know what?"

From Zhan Zhao's point of view, Bai Yutang seemed to understand but half understood, his dazed and smiling expression was very cute.

"I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble." Zhan Zhao hesitated.

Bai Yutang waved his hand, "It's okay, being with you is my greatest hobby in life."

Zhan Zhao's heart warmed up, and he rushed forward to hug him, "Thank you!"

Bai Yutang was stunned, his cheek was "chirped", Zhan Zhao pinched his face and rubbed it twice, his eyes were so happy that they narrowed into two crooked lines.He got up and went to transfer the gang of old devils from Tianmo Palace overnight.

Bai Yutang lay on the bed by himself and couldn't fall asleep. That night, Zhan Zhao's "thank you" was all over his mind, it sounded so beautiful that he was a little dizzy, as if he had never heard thank you in his life.
