seven relics

That evening, Lian Jiangyue and Xing Shan arrived in Yangzhou.

Traveling suspiciously, for fear that Yuan Junfan would follow them, he left the duffel bag Yuan Junfan gave him on the way, bought a new ticket, and changed the number of trains to Yangzhou.After that, he was also suspicious along the way, whenever strangers looked at them a little more, he tried every means to hide his whereabouts.Lian Jiangyue didn't take it seriously, no matter how Xingshan reminded him to be cautious, he also pointed out a few people who looked like they were watching them, and suggested that the two of them put on a disguise, after all, Lian Jiangyue had long hair and a long sword on her back , It's too eye-catching, poor Jiang Yue always looks like an old god, doing her own way.Xing Shan got a little annoyed, and said: "That man named Yuan doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd, and he doesn't know where it came from. What if he has other plans? Be careful with the Wannian ship."

Lian Jiangyue said in a leisurely manner: "According to Director Yuan's understanding of us, they must have many channels for collecting information. It must be easy for them to find out our whereabouts. If it is as you said , They sent people to follow us, that's just stalking, it doesn't do us any harm, let them go."

Xingshan had no choice but to change the subject, he could only pay more attention to himself, he asked Lian Jiangyue: "How can I find Wuzangtong when I arrive in Yangzhou?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "This sword will lead us to find him."

The two of them entered Yangzhou city by passenger car, which coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Inside and outside the Yangzhou bus station were either returnees returning home for a reunion at the last moment, or tourists taking advantage of the holidays to travel with their families. It was bustling and lively.After leaving the bus station, Lian Jiangyue walked towards the taxi waiting area. At sunset, the sun had already sunk below the horizon and was out of sight. Only pieces of golden afterglow painted the blue sky and white clouds into a warm and warm tone.

Just as Lian Jiangyue was at the end of the line waiting for the bus, the sky suddenly became dark, and the long sword behind Lian Jiangyue trembled, making a buzzing sound.Lian Jiangyue looked up, and saw a large cloud of dark clouds rolling over from the east, and the clouds billowed like billowing black smoke.A choking smell of smoke suddenly rose in the air, and Lian Jiangyue covered her mouth and nose and coughed. The smell of smoke was mixed with stinky sulfur and pungent sour smell, which seemed familiar.Xing Shan also covered his mouth, and said softly: "What's going on?"

Many people around also complained about the sky that suddenly changed face and the increasingly strong smell. Some people coughed and hurriedly hid in the taxi and walked away, while some picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of the whole scene A black cloud shrouded the sky, and someone asked loudly: "Is there an explosion somewhere, a fire?"

The darkness grew thicker, and the street lights on the side of the road flickered a few times before they went out, the lights in the passenger station also suddenly went dark, and the screens of the mobile phones that were held up high and photographing the sky suddenly went black, and immediately outside the bus station Total darkness.The crowd panicked.The parents fled with their children in their arms, and the old man protected the children and went indoors to hide. Several cars collided together on the road, and there was a burst of cursing, flustered questioning, and the sound of horns.

Lian Jiangyue and Xing Shan stood on the side of the road, both of them stared at the east, Xing Shan stretched out a hand to protect Lian Jiangyue, it was inevitable that the two of them would be scattered by the rampaging people, he said: "Brother, I have a bad feeling."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a wisp of black smoke bursting out from the black cloud that obscured the sky, spinning like a tornado into a thin, thin strand, and falling in front of them.

Lian Jiangyue stared at the black shadow intently, and said, "Qu Jiuchuan?"

Xingshan shouted: "Wu Zang Tong!"

However, the black smoke didn't show the appearance of any of the people they were calling out, only a big mouth appeared in the thin smoke that was still spinning, and a series of wild laughter came out of the mouth.

Xingshan became more certain: "It is Wuzangtong."

He had seen Wuzangtong's ability in Bian's house before, and although he was ready to fight him on this trip, he didn't expect to meet him here on a narrow road, and he felt a little uneasy. Jing was already frightened out of his wits, he still had the strength to run away, his feet were weak, and he simply lay down on the ground, closing his eyes tightly.Xingshan said: "There are many people here, let's talk in another place, our affairs, don't hurt the innocent."

"Bah! Who and you are 'us'?" Two rows of fangs grew out of the black smoke's big mouth, and he said sharply: "I didn't come here to talk to you! There is nothing to say!"

This big mouth is like a huge bellows, the sound it makes is so low and loud, every time it speaks a word is accompanied by a gust of hot wind.The air was getting drier, and there was even a crackling sound in the wind, similar to the sound of trees breaking.Lian Jiangyue's throat was abnormally dry, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood again. Seeing the blood dripping from his fingers, Xingshan shouted: "Senior brother!"

The big mouth laughed again, and said: "Smelly monk, I didn't go looking for you, but you came to me! I can smell your stench from eight hundred miles away! It's not what it used to be, I I am no longer afraid of you! I will end our injustice here today!"

After all, a big hand stretched out from the black smoke and stretched out to the August [-]th that Lian Jiangyue was carrying on her back. Lian Jiangyue immediately drew out her long sword and swung it out, but the black smoke hand firmly grasped it. Holding on to the long sword, Lian Jiangyue gritted her teeth and couldn't break free with all her strength. In a hurry, another mouthful of blood came out.Xingshan has long been anxious to become an ant on a hot pot. He only hated himself for being incompetent and unable to help him with anything, so he said, "Senior Brother, let me try the sword!!"

Lian Jiangyue knew in her heart that with her current physical condition, she was absolutely unable to fight against the black smoke, and she also had this intention, but thinking of the strange thing that other people could not pick up the sword before, he said: "Xingshan, I'm afraid This sword is still not willing to let others control it, you hold my hand and try it."

Xingshan stretched out his hand and took Lian Jiangyue's hand holding the sword. The long sword in his hand was actually lighter than a reed. The blade of the sword climbed onto the tightly clenched hands of their senior brothers.Walking up the mountain, he felt a chill on the back of his hand, as if a hole had been opened in his heart, as if the secret buried deepest in his heart had been peeked at by someone, he shivered, just wanted to open the black smoke, and sank down. The wrist and the tip of the sword went down, and then lifted up three inches, and they wanted to greet the black smoke hand with a stance of flood dragon to go out to sea.This move was eight-point tentative, and two-point luck was in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was really a fluke that made him break away from the black smoke hand.Seeing that the black smoke dissipated, and the big mouth was opened in a daze, it seemed that he couldn't believe it.

Xing Shan and Lian Jiangyue looked at each other, their eyes were full of excitement, Xing Shan suddenly became more confident, his eyes froze, he looked at the black smoke, and said: "Brother, I said the formula, you follow it!"

Lian Jiangyue was familiar with those mental formulas and tricks, so she responded immediately.

At this time, the black smoke had also recovered from its surprise, stretched out dozens of hands and flew towards them!Xing Shan shouted: "Bodhi asks, sweeping away thousands of troops!"

Lian Jiangyue immediately stabilized her lower body and lowered her waist, pointing her sword backwards, holding the sword while walking on the mountain, and swiping the sword to sweep.Dozens of black smoky hands immediately disappeared into thin air, but it wasn't over yet—they gathered together as soon as they disappeared, and merged into a giant hammer, beating down from the sky.Walking in the mountains and drinking again: "Seven Star Sword, Wild Horse Jumping Stream!"

At the same time, the senior brother stood on one foot with his right foot, dodged to avoid the heavy blow, hung up his sword, and stabbed obliquely at the giant hammer.

The giant hammer opened up again into a big cloak, which flew up to wrap the sword.

"cut!"

The sword cut through the cloak, and the cloak turned into a snake, entangled with the sword.

"Wudang sword, the crane spreads its wings!"

The crane pecked at the snake, spread its wings, stepped on the long snake, and took advantage of the victory on the mountain to pursue: "Rest, pull back!"

He and Lian Jiangyue cooperated very tacitly, and the two of them were almost one body. When he shouted, they took a right lunge at the same time, and the long sword drew forward, the tip of the sword fell, and the front of the sword shook wildly. Go to the seven inches of the snake.The long snake quickly opened into a big flower, and the sword pierced it, and the big flower shattered into seven petals, and the petals quickly turned into seven toads, sticking out their tongues to wrap around the sword.

"Turn around!"

"Come back!"

Xing Shan and Lian Jiangyue stepped back, Xing Shan exerted force on the sword, pointing the sword backwards: "Bagua sword, swallow mountains and rivers with anger!"

He lowered his wrist, turned the tip of the sword upwards, and turned it twice. The force poured into the sword turned into a strong sword energy, which broke all the long tongues of the toads.

The so-called soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, although Xingshan is the first time to fight against this black smoke, perhaps relying on the strength of that sword, coupled with his extraordinary swordsmanship, this black smoke is able to fight against the two of them. Fighting back and forth dozens of times, they couldn't tell the winner. Even after the fight, the black smoke was full of flaws everywhere, and the speed of changing and responding was not so fast. Powerless to parry.Lian Jiangyue also saw the weakness of the black smoke, but he was weak and weak after all. At this time, his steps were a little sticky, and his breath was already disordered. It's not right, and it's not good to attack without authorization. Fortunately, the black smoke first developed a retreat intention, and he crossed the river with one move and one reed, and the black smoke turned into a huge wave. Suddenly pursing his big mouth, he leaped into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

The black clouds dissipated, and the sky was already dark. The calm in front of the bus station was restored, but it was a mess. Vehicles were staggering, and people were lying on the ground. Many people stared at Lian Jiangyue and Xing Shan, the two left quickly.

They walked away from the station for a while, and when they saw a hotel, Lian Jiangyue said, "Go in and have a rest."

He was so tired that he was out of breath and couldn't walk anymore, he just wanted to lie down and have a rest.Xingshan responded and helped him in. When the two of them registered their information, he asked Lian Jiangyue in a low voice: "Why did he just run away like this?"

Lian Jiangyue looked at the August [-]th in her hand: "It seems that there is something going on..."

The front desk in charge of registration was checking WeChat when she heard a person ask her: "I heard that there was a tornado at your bus station just now?? There was also a long-haired swordsman fighting with someone?? Is it true? TV stations all Going to interview!"

The front desk looked at Lian Jiangyue and Xing Shan, Xing Shan hurriedly lowered his head, Lian Jiangyue panted heavily, raised his arms to wipe his sweat, took out a handful of cash, took the room card and walked away.

After entering the room, Lian Jiangyue threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.Xing Shan took a towel and wet some water, wiped the blood from his mouth, took off his clothes and shoes, covered him with a quilt, and rested on the bed next to him.He was also physically and mentally exhausted from the battle with Black Smoke, and soon fell asleep.

Besides, after the black smoke left the bus station, the cloud moved to the East China Sea Fishing Port Wharf, and boarded a fishing boat that set off for a night voyage.Under the cover of night, it got into a cabin, which was the place where the crew rested.At this time, a crew member was resting in the cabin, and the black smoke fell to the ground and turned into a human form, showing the appearance of Qu Jiuchuan.The crew member saw him, rubbed his eyes, and said, "How did you get in?"

Qu Jiuchuan said: "I'm new here."

The crew frowned and sat up: "I'm asking how you got in! Do you know you have to knock on the door? New here? Did you go to the wrong room?"

Qu Jiuchuan said: "Oh, then I probably went wrong."

He turned around and went out.The crew member was really surprised, so he went out to look around, but he saw no one on the left or right, so he went to the cockpit, found the captain, and asked, "Is there a novice on this boat?"

The captain shook his head, and the crew member described it: "He is quite tall, with a very pale face, and he looks like he hasn't slept for many days, about 25-[-]."

The captain still shook his head. He took the flashlight and said, "Go, go and see, don't try to sneak in."

The two went back to the crew lounge, and when they reached the door of the lounge, the crew pulled off the captain's sleeve, and heard two voices coming from inside, a low voice said: "That is clearly a gun. A sword, not a scabbard."

A hoarse voice said: "I'm not mistaken, it's that stinky monk, somehow he became a sword, anyway, when we find this broken stone in the East China Sea, we must make him look good!"

When the captain heard this, he knocked on the door and said, "Who's in there?"

The crew opened the door, only to see that the cabin was as dark as night, and the flashlight in the captain's hand shone in as if shining on a dark wall.The sole of the crew member's foot suddenly hurt, and when he looked down, he saw a black thorn piercing his feet.

"Ah!!" The crew screamed and fell to the ground, the captain ran away, and the dark shadow chased out from the cabin, wrapped the captain's legs and threw him out of the fishing boat.

The waves beat against the fishing boat.Qu Jiuchuan walked out of the cabin slowly, with gloomy eyes and gloomy voice.He said: "Since you can't beat it, you have to find a way to take it back to be safe."

A voice replied: "During the fight earlier, that kid Xingshan showed a flaw of hatred. I have a solution."

The voice came from his shadow.

A hand stretched out from the shadow, took out a mobile phone from Qu Jiuchuan's trouser pocket, and asked, "Do you have a phone number for hiking?"

Qu Jiuchuan nodded.

Shadow grabbed his mobile phone and typed: Xingshan, I know what you did, if you don't want me to tell your brother, bring me that sword.I have no grievances or enmities with you brothers and sisters. If I want to kill you, how can you still live to this day?All I want is the sword.

The message was sent.

Qu Jiuchuan and Heiying walked into the cockpit one after the other.

This night hike was also exhausting, and I slept until dawn the next day.Lian Jiangyue woke up almost at the same time as him, and they went downstairs to have breakfast together after washing up.The accommodation includes a self-service breakfast, which is served in the banquet hall on the first floor.The hall is not big, with six round tables, Lian Jiangyue and Xing Shan found a round table that was not occupied by anyone, took some porridge and side dishes and started eating.

They ate for a while, and a middle-aged man with a well-fitting suit and an elegant demeanor walked out of the restaurant. Behind him were two unsmiling figures like assistants, who were really out of place in this simple hall.The middle-aged man sat at Lian Jiangyue's table. Two assistants were standing, one was carrying a bag, the other swiped the phone a few times before handing the phone to the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man looked at the phone screen, then at Lian Jiangyue, and smiled at him.

At this time, a white-haired old man in a brocade Tang suit slowly walked to the side of their table with a cane.He pulled out a chair and sat down, straightened his collar, and nodded to the middle-aged man.

Xingshan glanced at Lian Jiangyue. Obviously, this middle-aged man and old man would not be the people staying in this kind of fast hotel. Could it be that they are here for them?

Could it be because of what happened at the station yesterday?

Xingshan glanced at the old man again, and secretly felt that this person was kind-hearted, so he took out his mobile phone to search for it, and when he looked at the mobile phone, he saw the text message from Qu Jiuchuan. It was raining, confused, and said in his heart: "Yesterday's feeling is indeed correct, that black smoke... that Wuzangtong peeped into my memory, if you let senior brother know about Qing Yeshuang, then what should I do? No, maybe this Wuzangtong is bluffing me, so I have to ask clearly..."

Xingshan left Lian Jiangyue behind and hurried out.Now, Zheng and He Xiaoshu and Ma Zun bumped into each other in the lobby, Ma Zun stopped Xingshan and asked, "Hey, it was said on TV yesterday..."

Xingshan hurriedly contacted Wuzangtong, no matter how the two of them came to Yangzhou, they also came to this hotel, and said: "Senior brother is in the restaurant, you can ask him!" and ran out.

Ma Zun looked at the back of Xing Shan leaving in a panic, scratched his ears and cheeks, and asked He Xiaoshu, "Why does Xing Shan look so bad?"

"It must have been a fierce battle yesterday." He Xiaoshu said.

Ma Zun nodded in agreement, and the two entered the restaurant, seeing Lian Jiangyue, they also sat at his table.

Lian Jiangyue drank porridge and ate vegetables. When he looked up, he saw that a round table was almost full. Those people he knew and did not know saw each other and greeted each other with their eyes, but they were just sitting. Their eyes matched his When they make eye contact, they all smile.Ma Zun seemed to want to say something, but He Xiaoshu deliberately stopped him, so he just sat silently.

They had nothing to say, so Lian Jiangyue ignored them and went to get some snacks like fried wontons in soup and ate them with vinegar and shredded ginger.

After another round of eating, there was still no one talking at the table.Lian Jiangyue got up to get the fruit, at this moment, a crisp voice rang out: "Third senior brother!"

Lian Jiangyue followed the sound and saw Quan Suya happily running towards him, waving her arms.Behind her was an old man in a black satin gown, who was older than the white-haired old man. If you look carefully, the two of them have similar features, with sparse eyebrows and phoenix eyes, hooked nose, and thin lips. Maitreya has a thin and long face, and the materials of the clothes on his body are also very similar, except that one is wearing a Tang suit with silver silk embroidered cranes, and the other is wearing a long gown with bat pattern.

Quan Suya ran up to Lian Jiangyue, introduced the old man in the bat-pattern gown, and said, "This is Xiangmeng Zhong, the master I learned painting from."

She swept the crowd at the round table and said, "Everyone is here."

Lian Jiangyue took some chopped oranges, walked back and sat down.Quan Suya and Xiang Mengzhong sandwiched him, and now, Lian Jiangyue was squeezed to the point where she had no place to put her arms, and he said: "It seems that everyone is not here for breakfast, but for a round table meeting. "
