Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

A ship was sailing down the river, full of guests.

The river flow was steady, and many people were sitting on the deck to admire the two famous mountains and rivers around.

Since ancient times, Daxia people have loved to travel around mountains and rivers, including literati and poets, hermits and knights... Indulging in the mountains and rivers can be used to express one's own elegance, or to imply that one's talent is not appreciated.

In the end, although traveling around mountains and rivers is useless, it is not a bad thing after all, and many social interactions mostly come from this.

This dragon-headed ship was particularly lively, with different groups of people gathered in five places on the deck. Literati stood at the stern of the ship, talking loudly, with feather fans and scarves, talking about poetry and songs, and praising each other. Everyone looked happy; in the southeast corner, two or three people were laying out the chopping board, as if they had been inspired, and were sketching paintings of green mountains and green waters; and a dozen steps away, a group of people were sitting at the table, drinking tea and chatting about various major and minor events in the rivers and lakes.

People love to listen to other people's gossip, especially in the martial arts world. Most people in the martial arts world will definitely make a name for themselves after doing something big.

The news that people in the martial arts world get may not be true. Many people's deeds can only be spread in a county, and it is difficult to cross a state. Only a small number of people can truly become famous and become the traffic bearers of this era.

Bai Yu sat on the edge of the deck, wearing an antique outfit. This set of appearance is called "Sword Qi Qingshan Thin". It is a green appearance that was opened when the blind box was opened before. The effect is very tasteless. It can increase the damage of teammates in the same team by 25%... and this effect cannot be enjoyed by oneself.

The ancient appearance is the main reason why he chose this set of appearance skin, which can allow a modern person to smoothly blend into the ancient people.

It has actually been more than half a day since I came here.

This time's fate weaving is different from before...

After Bai Yu entered here, he found that he was not just a projection, but more like his own entity entering here, and he did not get a specific mission target, and was not even fixed in an area.

This experience is more like a real time travel.

Considering the special situation of Huang Qixia, this kind of thing is also within the expected range.

When even the real name is unknown, the variables brought by the forced weaving of fate will certainly not be small.

It's not that there are no restrictions. There is a time limit of three months.

What's worse is that the time limit cannot be reset by fate points this time.

This means that Bai Yu has only one chance to rewrite history, and there will be no room for error.

This is where a person's courage and carefulness are tested.

Back to the building ship where Bai Yu is currently located, the direction it is heading is naturally Fenghuangtai.

Five hundred years ago, Daxia was in the middle and late stages of a feudal dynasty, similar to the Ming Dynasty on Earth. It is currently in a historical stage of rejuvenation. It is a good era with clear governance, peaceful seas and clear rivers, and good weather. For more than 20 years, the weather has been good, and the people have rested and recuperated. The court has taxes, and the people have a good life.

The result is that an unprecedentedly prosperous era of rivers and lakes was born.

Chaos will only breed chaos. The premise of a prosperous Jianghu is to have an orderly and stable society. Otherwise, the knights will break the law with force. Without a stable social order, the Jianghu itself will become a bloody Shura field. No one will pay attention to the rules. Once they occupy the mountains and become bandits, they can only be called bandits, not Jianghu.

Bai Yu has done some research on the history of Daxia. If nothing unexpected happens, this prosperous Jianghu era will last for two generations of emperors, about seventy years, until it completely enters the late feudal dynasty. Jianghu will start to decline and continue to wither for 150 years. Then, after a few decades, a man named Huo Qiushui suddenly appeared and put the last coffin board on the Jianghu era of Daxia, completely nailing it to history.

So the current prosperous Jianghu era is also the last glory of Daxia Jianghu.

There is no ranking of the top ten and the ten fierce in this era. That is a list established after the founding of Daxia in modern times.

The name recognized by people in Jianghu is the Ten Kui.

Five hundred years ago, people's cognitive level was limited, and they had insufficient knowledge of the realm of canonization. In addition, almost all the people in the martial arts world were warriors, so the classification was quite rough. Among the top ten martial arts masters, there were not only martial saints, but also other canonized saints who were muddled and counted. In short, it was quite confusing.

On the deck, a martial arts man was speaking with great emotion, describing the destination of this trip.

"Speaking of this Phoenix Terrace, it is indeed a hidden sect. If it does not make a sound, it will be amazing. When the fairies of the Phoenix Terrace walk around the world, many people have seen them. The impression they leave on people is simply too deep, making people fascinated and unforgettable."

"But don't get me wrong, fairies are not just beautiful and good-looking. In the end, you still have to rely on real skills to walk around the world. I believe everyone here has heard that not long ago, the fairy defeated the Purple Cloud Sword Saint and won the title of the current sword leader!"

"That battle was really shocking. The two saints... No, the two saints fought to the point of heaven and earth, and the decisive battle was at the Purple Cloud Lake at the foot of the Purple Cloud Mountain, and they cut out a cliff!"

"Today is a great day for the new sword leader to entertain heroes from all over the world. Everyone must go to the Phoenix Terrace to ask for a glass of wine to get some luck."

Even if you don’t need to say anything or ask anything, you can get a rough idea just by listening to the braggadocio of the people here.

Phoenix Tower was a hidden sect five hundred years ago. It was not considered a small sect. With more than 500 disciples, it was already considered a first-rate sect.

The leader of the contemporary Phoenix Platform can win the title of Sword Leader, and his identity no longer needs to be guessed.

Bai Yu's plan was to follow the flow of people and enter the Phoenix Terrace to take a look.

Ordinary Jianghu people do not need an invitation to enter, but they cannot enter the inside of the sect. They can only have a glass of wine and a meal outside. No one will ask about the origin, and even if it is obvious that they are just eating and drinking, they will not care.

Some people in modern times have tried it. They sneak into other people's wedding banquets, find a seat in a corner, sit down, eat and drink. It doesn't matter if no one knows them, because no one will care. Wait for the newlyweds to say something when they come to toast. The host didn't even care about the nice words, he just added a pair of chopsticks, and he ate like this for more than half a month. Not only did he spend no money, but he also gained several pounds.

After a while, the building boat docked on the shore, and a series of magnificent ships were also moored here. It can be seen that many wealthy families in the rivers and lakes are really here.

"Is that the Wu Family Boat Bar in Soochow?"

"The family of the contemporary spearhead? This ship is really impressive..."

"Even the Wu family of the Spear Chief came to send congratulatory gifts. I don't think I can take a leave of absence from the Sword Chief."

"The Chu family is also here, the Chu family of Xuanhe Villa! I wonder if the contemporary Bu Kui himself is also here..."

"Hehe, when it comes to the Chu family, I actually heard a rumor."

"What?"

"Chu Bukui seems to be interested in this fairy from Phoenix Terrace. It is very likely that he came here to propose marriage with a betrothal gift."

"That's quite a match. They are both leaders of the top ten."

"Bah, are you talking in your sleep? Bu Kui is ranked one or two from the bottom among the top ten leaders. How can he be compared with the top three Sword Leaders? Besides, this Bu Kui of the Chu family was inherited from the previous generation, and it is only now I have been sitting for less than three years, and I have only accepted challenges less than five times. I can’t say that I have secured my position... I personally defeated the previous generation of sword masters with the Phoenix Stage Sword Master and got the title. This is a huge difference in gold content. ”

"Keep your voice down, be careful if the Chu family hears it, they will pull out your tongue and throw it into the river!"

Bai Yu stood at the dock and looked in the direction of Phoenix Tower.

The landscape here must have changed somewhat compared to five hundred years ago.

But the town at the foot of the mountain has always existed.

Five hundred years later, this place will be at the junction of the residential area and the scenic area. There will be a lot of people and a lot of tourists passing by. Five hundred years ago, this place was called Fengming Town, with a permanent population of 50,000. Count them here to join in the fun. People from all walks of life and sects came to express their congratulations... At this time, the town's population obviously exceeded its carrying capacity.

Many people can't even find inns, so they have to pay to stay in guest rooms in some houses, or simply sleep on the roadside.

It is not uncommon for people in the Jianghu to sleep on the street. Living and dining in the open is one of the necessary skills for the low-level people who live in the Jianghu. If a small person wants to run in the Jianghu, he must first run away, then starve, and finally get beaten.

The outer area of ​​Fengming Town has been planned in advance. It has formed an area like a small market. Some people set up street stalls, some boasted, some made friends with each other, and some got into a quarrel and went directly to the nearby competition stage to start. When the fight started, a group of people immediately gathered around and started shouting and cheering.

The one who really received the invitation was that he left Fengming Town directly, went to the office to register, and was led to the residence of the distinguished guest by the disciples of Fenghuang Terrace, waiting to go up the mountain to visit the real owner.

Everything seems to be a mixture of dragons and snakes, but it is also orderly and distinct.

After Bai Yu walked around the town for two times, he found nothing, so he quietly hid his figure and followed the group in front. With his saintly level of cultivation, he used the holy realm to shield himself, so that no one could notice it at all. arrive.

On the road halfway up the mountain, I met an old man with white hair who was drinking. The leader of the Wu family bowed respectfully and called him "Five Jue Weng". This old man was a contemporary Dun Kui. Qi Men Dun Jia was proficient in Feng Shui. Obviously he was not The Martial Saint was also included in the top ten.

Even he didn't notice Bai Yu.

Along the way, Bai Yu saw three saints.

The leader of the Wu family is the contemporary spearhead; the Wu Jue Weng is Dunkui; and there is also a palm leader named Liu, who is a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Not all the top ten martial arts leaders in history were canonized. Rather, most of the time, about half of the top ten were top grandmasters.

But in the prosperous world of martial arts five hundred years ago, all the top ten were canonized without exception. There were even some people who were canonized even though they did not receive the title of top ten... For example, the Sword Master Ziyun was photographed on the beach. The front wave.

This shows how valuable this prosperous world was five hundred years ago.

But the times are developing, and the achievements of canonization in later generations will definitely be higher. Bai Yu was not very careful along the way, but not one of the top ten leaders discovered his whereabouts, which made him a little disappointed.

After sneaking into Phoenix Terrace easily, Bai Yu also discovered that it was different from five hundred years later.

The two sisters Feng Wuwu and Feng Tongtong only occupy one hilltop... But in fact, Phoenix Terrace is a group of peaks connected together, with plank roads connecting each other, heavy iron cables connecting the tops of the mountains, and hanging iron cable floating bridges, from the main to the secondary, the layout is hidden among the sea of ​​clouds, which is in line with Feng Shui, forming a majestic formation and landscape, and it does not destroy the scenery of the sea of ​​clouds, because the bridges are all suspended under the sea of ​​clouds.

Walking on the plank road, it feels like walking in the clouds, and it feels wonderful. Even the most ordinary people are set off like exiled immortals.

Bai Yu thought that this is the complete Phoenix Terrace... Maybe after everything is settled, I should go to Phoenix Terrace to replicate this landscape?

Passing through the plank road between the sea of ​​clouds, I finally arrived at the main mountain of Phoenix Terrace.

Bai Yu's heart condensed.

Because after five hundred years, this mountain does not exist. It should have been the main peak of Fenghuangtai, but it disappeared after five hundred years. Something must have happened, which made Fengsheng rewrite the landforms by himself and wipe it off the ground.

In the main hall of the main peak of Fenghuangtai, the elders of Fenghuangtai were responsible for receiving guests. There were only female disciples in Fenghuangtai, which was due to the practice.

The most critical head of Fenghuangtai was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the head of the previous generation and other elders came to receive the guests.

The head of the head is Fengzhi, who is already over sixty years old this year. She looks like a beautiful young woman in her forties and does not look old.

She should have just passed the position of the head to her eldest disciple, the current sword leader and the protagonist of today's banquet, Huang Yanxia, ​​a month ago.

I am curious about what she will look like in five hundred years. Is she as cute as she will be in five hundred years? Bai Yu sat on the edge of the eight-immortal table in the corner and looked in the direction of the head, but never saw the shadow of Huang Yanxia.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he quietly left the group of people and went to the back, so naturally no one noticed his actions.

He came to the back hall and heard Feng Zhi talking to an elder.

"Has she not finished washing yet? Today is a big day, and she is already the head of the sect, how can she not show up?"

"I just went to the room, but she was not in the room."

"What? Missing again?" Feng Zhi frowned: "Why is this girl still so self-willed at this age... If it wasn't for her position as the sword leader, why would I have to make such a big fuss? Forget it, go and get someone to find her back, the location should be that Bishuitan."

Bishuitan...

Bai Yu remembered this location, quietly followed the elder who went out to look for someone, and when she wasn't paying attention, he knocked her out and hid in the bushes nearby.

He went to the vicinity of Bishuitan by himself.

Walking in the mountains is never an easy task. It is easy to lose your bearings in the towering trees. Fortunately, Bai Yu is familiar with the terrain of this area. It has not changed much from five hundred years ago. He crossed a stream and found a dilapidated village. It is obvious that no one lives here. Most of the houses have collapsed. The rotten beams and earthen walls are covered with moss. There is no concrete in this era, and houses made of blue bricks are not common.

He stepped on the green grass and walked into the village. At the same time as the voice just sounded, a sharp sword energy was already in front of his throat.

"Please stop."

The light voice came from deep inside, as if it came from the cave, and the echo resounded.

"This is not a place where tourists can enter. Leave now... No one will get hurt."

The woman's voice was strange and familiar.

Bai Yu was very sure that he had come to the right place and found the right person, so he would not leave obediently.

"This is already a wasteland. Do you have to leave if you say so?"

He turned into a nagging person and provoked the other party to show up: "You have to give me an explanation and reason in person, right?"

"This is the land of Phoenix Terrace... What do I need to explain to you?"

The voice was cold and indifferent: "Either walk out by yourself, or I'll send you out."

He emphasized the word "send" and pronounced it clearly. Obviously, this was not a polite remark, but a warning.

"Hum..."

Bai Yu made a flat sound in his nose.

Then he flicked his finger and shattered the sword energy that blocked him. He walked forward and crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in one step.

"Canonized? Who are you!"

"Before questioning others, how about showing yourself?" Bai Yu said lightly: "Is the contemporary sword master so shameful?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, a figure walked down from the sky, stepping on the steps made of sword energy with her toes, and each step made a crisp sword chant. She was wearing a plain white long dress, with a cold expression, but her eyes were golden red, like ice wrapped in a ball of fire, and her ink-black long hair was scattered on her shoulders.

This appearance is almost carved from the same mold as Huang Qixia.

She is just more mature, older, and more aloof and beautiful than Huang Qixia. There is no trace of gracefulness and charm. She is just as cold as a sword. At first glance, people may even wonder if she has a heartbeat.

Finally, I saw her, Huang Yanxia.

Bai Yu originally wanted to pretend to be relaxed and say hello, and say something lighthearted, but when he saw the strangeness and vigilance hidden in the other person's eyes, he was unable to continue his friendly attitude... She was not his girl.

"You have met me, as you wished, now... reveal your identity." Huang Yanxia put her fingers together and did not draw the sword, but the sword leader's sword finger was enough to kill people.

Bai Yu thought that even if he confessed at this time, it would be impossible for the other party to accept his statement directly because of the other party's wariness.

This was the first meeting five hundred years ago, and there was no basis for trust.

And he does not have a suitable identity.

However, just because you don’t have an identity doesn’t mean you can’t make up one.

Bai Yu opened his palms, and a long bow emerged.

"Hei Sha Gong... turns out to be a follower of the evil star." Huang Yanxia's eyes flickered slightly.

Luo Hu has lived for thousands of years and naturally had followers 500 years ago. This group has existed for thousands of years, which can be regarded as proof of identity endorsement.

Bai Yu acquiesced, looked at Huang Yanxia, ​​and said slowly: "There is demonic energy in the Phoenix Tower. I am responsible for coming to check."

This reason is quite a panacea.

Huang Yanxia lowered her height and stepped on the green grass. Only then did Bai Yu notice that she was not wearing shoes at all and was walking barefoot on the ruins of grass.

Bai Yu's excuse just now obviously triggered some kind of reaction in Huang Yanxia. She fell into silence as if she was immersed in memories. She lowered her eyes slightly, and the past events appeared in front of her eyes, and the past scenes reappeared one after another... After waiting like this for more than ten breaths, she raised her eyes and said quietly: "You are late...she is already dead."

"Who died?" Bai Yu asked. He had no idea what had happened for five hundred years.

"Aren't you here to look for the devil? The devil is already dead, is this answer not enough?" Huang Yanxia asked back.

"I need to know the specific details before I can judge." Bai Yu replied: "You also know that the Black Evil Archer always likes to get to the bottom of things. In order to eliminate the possibility of the existence of any demon species, until I think it is really dead, then That’s the end.”

This rude attitude is very similar to that of a black evil archer.

Huang Yanxia did not doubt Bai Yu's identity at this time. He was a completely unfamiliar saint, holding a black evil bow, which fit the established impression of the elusive black evil bow user. Moreover, the other party said that he came here in pursuit of evil energy. It is entirely possible, although it will come later.

"This matter is the secret of Phoenix Tower." Huang Yanxia said softly, "It should be buried here."

Bai Yu was noncommittal: "So?"

"I will give you an answer, but not now." Huang Yanxia was not yet mentally prepared to tell everything: "When I receive the guests today and after the banquet, and you come here again, I will give you a satisfactory answer. The answer is just a few hours, you should have this patience, right?"

Without waiting for an answer, she cut through the air with her sword, rose up into the sea of ​​clouds, and flew away.

Leaving Bai Yu standing there, he looked doubtfully at the direction Huang Yanxia left, and then at the location of the Bishui Pond.

When I walked near this deep pool, I picked up a stone and threw it into the water, causing ripples to appear in the pool.

Detection feedback shows that there is absolutely nothing in it.

What was she remembering here before?

…

After returning to the Phoenix Terrace, Fengzhi walked towards her, held Huang Yanxia's wrist, and pulled her forward: "Why don't you hurry up and get dressed up? Today is so important to you and the Phoenix Terrace, how can you leave the guests alone? "

"I'm going to see her. I have something to say..." Huang Yanxia replied softly.

"It's been so long and you still can't let go?"

"It's not that I can't let go, I just...occasionally dream about her." Huang Yanxia covered her cheek with one hand: "I would dream about her lying in the cold pool, sinking little by little, and dream about her looking at me. eyes, dreaming that she was drowning in darkness..."

Fengzhi held Huang Yanxia's shoulders from behind and said softly: "Yanxia, ​​you did nothing wrong. She can't look back. She has become a demon. She has killed her fellow disciples and is murderous and bloodthirsty. Dozens of people have been killed... You It’s time to let it go and stop torturing yourself.”

"Master, I have been asking myself one question... Did I really kill her back then?" Huang Yanxia asked in a low voice, "Is she really dead?"

Fengzhi was startled and then said with certainty: "She must be dead. There is no doubt that I saw it with my own eyes and you did it with your own hands. No one can survive in that situation."

After saying that, he gently pushed Huang Yanxia's back: "Go and dress up, don't think about it anymore. You are the protagonist today, but you must not be absent. If you feel guilty about the child in your heart, then go with her for her." Live a more exciting life.”

Huang Yanxia was pushed into the room. She walked to the dressing mirror, raised her eyes and looked at the picture scroll hanging in the room. In the picture, two girls faced each other, each holding a bouquet of flowers, side by side. They look so similar, one is serious and the other has a bright smile.

"...Qiu..."

She whispered a name.

…

Dang Dang Dang——!

Firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded, and when Bai Yu returned to his seat at the Eight Immortals Table, he happened to meet Huang Yanxia on the stage and saw many guests.

The disciples of the Phoenix Terrace held flower baskets and sprinkled flower petals. The atmosphere was not lively, but more beautiful.

A group of beautiful women stood five and a half, wearing long skirts and swaying hair. The beautiful cluster effect immediately made many serious people look straight at them.

Many female relatives at the scene secretly stepped on the feet of the man next to them. Although they were very angry, they still kept smiling.

When the phoenix haze appears, it is even more gorgeous than all the flowers. It has a sense of flowers blooming on the branches and thousands of clouds disappearing in the sky.

It's just that her expression was too cold. Many people remembered the sword intent that soared into the sky, not her appearance.

Just as Huang Yanxia was about to speak.

Suddenly, a sound of porcelain breaking was heard.

Bang!

It was obviously not caused by a slip of the hand, but the sound of someone deliberately throwing it to the ground. With a sharp impact, the discordant sound made the atmosphere at the scene a little stiff, and many people looked in the direction of the sound.

The overturned teacup fell to the ground, just one step away from Huang Yanxia. The splashing tea fell to the ground, but it ignited a raging fire like hot oil!

It was obviously a deliberate provocation.

Many guests at the scene felt a shudder in their hearts, thinking that there would be a good show to watch.

Huang Yanxia's expression did not change. She was not expected, but she was naturally taciturn. She maintained the demeanor of a saint and stepped lightly to extinguish the burning flame.

"If anyone wants the title of sword master, they can just challenge me directly, and I will welcome it. There is no need to go to such great lengths to provoke me."

"Hahahaha——"

A silver bell-like laugh echoed in the mountains and clouds.

Then, a shadow emerged from the clouds, which was very hazy under the projection of light. The light distorted the figure, which was very strange, but in this strangeness, one could see a bit of charm.

Fengzhi couldn't help but shout: "Who is it, playing tricks!"

She waved her sleeves and forcibly split the hazy clouds.

Then the figure hidden in the clouds appeared, like two curtains splitting towards the surroundings, revealing the figure on the stage. The woman was dressed in black, but her hair and skin were as white as snow, and her eyes and lips were painted with bright red rouge. She looked like a white-haired ghost. Only her eyes and lips were bright red on her pale cheeks.

Although she was covered tightly in black clothes, her figure was full of charm and grace.

It was like a thousand-year-old enchanting female ghost sneering in the clouds, with her long sleeves covering her face, and her every move was full of enchantment and elegance.

But if you let your imagination run wild at this moment, you will be fooled by this thousand-year-old female ghost.

She clearly exuded strong resentment and anger.

After Bai Yu broke free from the charm of the enchanting beauty, he almost couldn't help but stand up at first glance.

Too similar.

Almost the same as Huang Qixia... no, exactly the same as Huang Yanxia.

"Yanxia." The white-haired female ghost in the clouds smiled charmingly: "I'm here to take back what belongs to me."

For the first time, Huang Yanxia's expression changed, a storm swept through her eyes and heart, and her voice also had a subtle tremor.

"...Qiyun."
