knife cut mountains and rivers

Bailu City is surrounded by mountains on the north and south sides, and the vast plains on the east. It is located at the junction of the Western Regions and the Central Plains.This place where you can't beat a fart is originally a frontier town, with only about twenty families in total.

After the king of Zhenbei was stationed in Suzhou, he made friends with small countries in the Western Regions, and Bailu City became a transit station.

Merchants from all over the world gathered together, and slowly became lively, and once lively, there was a quack atmosphere.

Nancheng is the most chaotic place in Bailu City. There are two most famous streets here, Baihua Street and Liuyin Lane.As soon as you enter the flower street, you will be charming and beautiful. The women dress boldly and unrestrainedly. Once you walk out of the flower street, the smell of rouge on your body will not be washed off for three days.When we arrived at Liuyin Lane, it was a different scene. All men, desperadoes and swordsmen gathered here.These two streets happen to be next to each other, and the biggest thing in common is money.If you have money, you can enjoy first-class weapons, and you can also hire first-class swordsmen.

In Willow Lane, there is a strange swordsman.

This swordsman has a rule: do not kill, only do things.

His way of acting is despised by others, decent people think he is cheap, and killer swordsman thinks he is pretentious.Holding the bowl of rice as a swordsman, but also with a heart of compassion, he would set up a memorial archway if he didn't have that life.

Strange swordsmen don't accept murder business. It stands to reason that this will cut off the source of money, but I don't know why they can continue to accept some strange commissions, and their lives are more nourishing than most swordsmen.

The strange swordsman suddenly appeared in Liuyin Alley. He bought an uninhabited ruined temple at the end of the alley and had no contact with other swordsmen.

Some people rumored that he came down from Zhengxuan Mountain, but it was just a rumor. Zhengxuan Mountain is the number one mountain in the world, and it is a decent family with roots in Miaohong.

But people are also slightly suspicious about this, this swordsman is too skilled.I have never seen him kill, but I have seen him use a knife.Every move is clean and neat. If it can kill people, it is also a good knife technique with one knife and one head.Recalling the swordsman who lived in the ruined temple, he was a strange person, so he couldn't get along with other people in Liuyin Lane.

In the evening of this day, the gorgeous sunlight covered Liuyin Alley, making this shaded alley red and blood-stained.At the same time, a woman was welcomed.In Liuyin Lane, young women are a rare commodity, except for that tomboy-like girl like Jin Ling who hangs around with strange swordsmen all day long, no young woman is willing to enter this dirty alley.

The woman is holding a bamboo basket in her left hand, which is covered with a floral cloth.She was wearing a white skirt, and her face was tightly covered by a black veil. The veil was so thick that the long fabric almost fell to the ground.In the midsummer season, it is easy to worry that she will not be able to breathe well if she is stuffy inside.

The swordsmen in Liuyin Lane can tell that she is a beautiful woman just by the winking eyes.Sometimes the beauty of a woman is not in her appearance but in her temperament.This woman obviously knows this well, her back is not too straight, but she has a graceful demeanor. I dare not say that there is no one more beautiful than her in Baihua Street next door, but there is indeed no one who looks more expensive than her. angry woman.

She walked into Liuyin Alley alone, countless eyes followed her, and a crowd of men gathered in the alley very quickly.But no one dared to come forward to be disrespectful, so they could only make a few words of verbal teasing.

"Beauty, are you lost?"

"Girl, do you want to do business? Let's go into the house and do it slowly."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, mixed with malicious banter.

But not everyone is not so brainless, only those inferior swordsmen who can't get any big jobs will use dirty words to vent their anger.Classy swordsmen never cut their own money, but silently observed this mysterious woman, as if trying to guess her background, seeing that she has an extraordinary bearing, she should be extremely generous, if this is really done Business, you won't have to worry about your livelihood in the second half of the year.Therefore, their eyes were also tightly attached to the woman, wanting to see which door she would stop at, and which expert could take over the woman's commission.

The woman didn't seem to have heard the slander, she still looked ahead, she didn't even panic in her footsteps, she still walked at a leisurely pace, and finally she stopped at the end of the alley, standing unexpectedly Before the ruined temple.I don't know how many dynasties this small temple has gone through, and it is in dilapidated condition. The scarlet wall skin has long since fallen off, exposing the stone bricks inside.There is a broken plaque hanging crookedly on the temple gate, with two words inscribed - broken temple.

The swordsmen were disappointed, and what women do is a "live business".

Liuyin Alley is dominated by "dead business", most of which are seeking revenge or revenge. Some people have no money but no skills, so they go to Liuyin Alley to find a swordsman to solve it for them.Non-interference between live business and dead business, it is hard to say which one is easier, it is all a knife-edge business.

The woman's plain hand knocked on the door three times, but there was no response, she went to knock on the door again, but before she could make a move, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a young girl's head came out, and she said, "Who are you? "

The woman was not offended by such vulgar words and deeds, "I'm looking for Fucheng."

Jin Ling didn't see the person who came just now, but now she was able to see the face of the person carefully, she was stunned for a while, and she spoke a little awkwardly, "Oh...then you... come in."

People rarely come to the ruined temple, so Jinling led the woman into the temple and closed the temple door with a bang to keep out those prying eyes.

There was a stone table in the middle of the courtyard. Jinling placed the woman on the stone bench and made her a cup of tea. Her clever eyes turned back and forth, as if she couldn't make up her mind, so she walked towards the main hall, calling in a low voice: "Fu City—Fucheng—”

There was silence in the courtyard.

There is a statue of Buddha on the shrine of the ruined temple.Strangely, this Tathagata has no head.The place where the Buddha's head used to be was now empty, and Tuliu Buddha sat there upright.The cut of the neck is very equal, as if it was cut off by someone.

Some fruits were placed on the altar, and three unburned incense sticks were inserted in front of it.

There are still people enshrining this severed Buddha statue?

After Jinling yelled several times, she lost her patience, and simply yelled into the empty hall, "Dog City! Auntie brought you a business, do you want to do it?" This voice was so powerful that it echoed in the ruined temple. It's been a long time.

"Why don't you do business when you come to your door?"

The woman looked towards the source of the sound, and there was a young man sitting upright on the severed head Buddha statue. He was about in his early twenties, and he didn't know when he got up there. A three-and-a-half-foot seedling knife.His facial features are straightened, his brows are straight, and there are a cluster of fire moires on his forehead. When he smiles, there are two shallow dimples on his cheeks, which looks a bit bad. Fucheng.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, the Buddha's head was clearly empty just now, looking at Fucheng's posture, it seemed as if he had been sitting there for a long time.

The woman was looking at Fucheng, and Fucheng was also condescendingly examining the woman. From the beginning to the end, he didn't show any superfluous expressions, as if a woman was just a commodity.

Jin Ling was not used to this kind of angle of looking up, and said angrily, "Come down and talk."

Fu Cheng curled his lips, and actually listened to the little girl's words very much, jumped off the Buddha statue, and landed lightly on the ground.He walked around the woman in a very rude manner, looking up and down while walking, and the woman let him look at her, showing no displeasure at all.After walking around, Fucheng shook his head and said, "I can't take this job."

This woman who seemed to have no sorrow or joy showed a slightly surprised look at this moment, and asked, "Why?"

Fucheng Junxiu raised his eyebrows, "I don't take trouble."

The woman asked: "You haven't listened to me, how can you tell that it's troublesome?"

"Is the girl good at martial arts?"

The woman asked, "How can you see that?"

Fucheng sat opposite the woman, made himself a cup of tea in a rude manner, poured a cup of tea but refused to drink it, and stared at the woman frankly, "First, since you came to me for business, there is always a cup of tea in the bamboo basket. It can't be steamed buns and food, it can only be silver. According to the practice of people like you, if you want to give money, you must give ten taels of silver. Such a basket can hold at least twenty or so, and such a basket weighs more than ten catties Shen, you, a weak woman, carry it all the way effortlessly, without changing your face."

The woman became interested in this set of rhetoric, and listened to Fu Cheng's continuation.

"Second," Fu Cheng paused, deliberately put on a trick, winked at the woman, and asked, "Miss, can you lend me your hand?"

The woman didn't shy away from anything, she stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Fu Cheng's eyes.

Fucheng didn't touch the woman's hand, he looked it up and down and said: "Secondly, the most difficult thing for a martial arts practitioner to hide is the hand, girl, your hand is well maintained, weak and boneless, it's enough to praise it It's not an exaggeration." This praise pleased the woman, and she smiled, although she couldn't see anything through the veil.

Fucheng stretched out two fingers to pinch the woman's index finger, and said, "Unfortunately, there is something left on each of the index finger and the middle finger." Jin Ling had been listening to Fucheng's ghost, and at this moment she couldn't help but raise her head to look at the woman. On his hand, there are small yellow marks on the first joints of the index finger and middle finger. The marks are not obvious, and you need to look carefully to see them.

Fucheng continued: "Concealed weapons are often poisonous. Although you have taken the antidote before using them, using such poisoned hidden weapons for a long time will always leave marks on the skin, and even the best powder can't cover them. I said, girl, you are not only good at martial arts, but also good at using poison." Fu Cheng and the woman's hands just touched each other as necessary and then let go, it is impossible to see that this kid actually knows etiquette, justice and shame, and there is no trace of molestation in his eyes. Said, "Girl, if you have money and skills, you can't handle things, how dare you say it's not troublesome?"

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. Her laughter was actually very pleasant, but in this situation, it made one's scalp tingle, "I really didn't find the wrong person."

Fu Cheng frowned, a cold light appeared on the woman's cuff, she couldn't tell what kind of hidden weapon it was, only a thin needle could be seen, and said in a cold voice, "I can't do this business, girl, turn left or right when you go out. , a lot of swordsmen are rushing to do business with you."

The woman suddenly tilted her head. This was a very naive movement, which didn't match a woman's temperament.Under the stimulation of Fucheng's words, it seemed that the woman's true face was revealed, and the woman asked, "What is the relationship between this little girl and you?"

Fu Cheng frowned, one hand was already on the handle of the knife, and the other hand was protecting the golden bell behind his back, the hostility in his eyes was quite obvious.Fucheng is not afraid to fight, and he may not necessarily lose, but no matter what, Jin Ling should not be involved.

Jin Ling didn't expect this sudden change, and was very puzzled by the sudden tense atmosphere, but she was also smart enough to carefully hide behind Fucheng.

The woman frowned, and asked sinisterly: "Then what if I insist on doing it?"

Fucheng couldn't figure out why the woman insisted on buying and selling him by force. For a while, he couldn't even tell whether she was seeking revenge or really doing business, so he looked at her silently.

The woman lifted the flowered cloth covering the basket, just as Fucheng guessed, it was indeed money, but it was not silver, but golden nuggets. Such a basket of gold blinded the small temple and the dogs in Fucheng. . "Now to talk?"

Fucheng loves money, who doesn't love money in this Liuyin Lane?But loving money is one thing, and you also have to weigh whether you have a life, Fucheng finally moved his eyes away from the gold, and his thin lips pursed into a line, "I don't kill people."

"I know you don't kill people, but I want you to save someone."

Fucheng's frown deepened, it must be some kind of difficult boundary, and how noble a person must be to be worth so much money.He asked back, "Why don't you go?" Women's kung fu is not weak, if even she can't do it, how can I be sure that I can bear it.

"My identity is inconvenient," the woman answered perfunctorily, covered the flower cloth again, and then said leisurely, "If you don't answer, I will kill you."

Her movements are very elegant, and there is no trace of murderous intent on the surface, but it will not make people doubt her murderous intentions, "If you fail, I will kill you too." Her eyes narrowed slightly, indescribable Charming and charming, "Master Fu, how do you want to choose?"
