Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Zhou Jun stared at the woman in black robe and said, "Dare I ask...?"

The woman's voice was pretending to be low, and her accent was not like that of a Chinese native. She just replied: "The saint has invited a husband."

Zhou Jun was stunned: "Saint?"

The woman stopped talking and just walked towards the two of them. The silver chains on her feet collided and made a sound, which sounded particularly crisp in the alley.

The two swords in Hua Yue are held upright in the right hand and reversed in the left hand, forming a posture of fighting each other.

She said coldly to the woman: "If you want to take him away, first ask about the sword in my hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yue exerted force on his feet, and his body flew forward like a swallow flying through the hall.

The sword blade had the force of breaking through the air, turning into a stream of light in mid-air, and only rushed towards the face of the black-robed woman.

I saw the woman's hands stretching out from her robe, shaking first, and the silver chain wrapped around the snow-white arms seemed to be alive. One end drew an arc and separated from the arm, while the other end was firmly held in the woman's hand.

It became two "silver whips" that looked like silver snakes.

Hua Yue's sword collided with the woman's silver whip, and the two collided, making a concussive sound like gold swords striking each other.

After a confrontation, Zhou Jun looked at the woman's silver whip and found that there was no damage at all. It seemed that it was a weapon made using special forging techniques.

Huayue, who missed the blow, moved his feet, his movements were like ghosts, and a sword dance was fully launched. The setting sun shone on the sword body, and with the movement of his body, the cold light floated, and the sword suddenly appeared in the alley.

Heavy shadows.

But the woman didn't expect that the thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman in front of her had such high swordsmanship.

For a moment, the way forward and retreat was blocked by the sword light, and the woman's two silver whips could only protect her body to protect herself.

After several more moves, Hua Yue first struck "Zhengbeng", using the strength of his wrist to move the sword tip from top to bottom and directly hit the enemy's wrist, so that the woman had to fight back to save herself. Then she found a flaw and used "Back Stirring".

, draw a circle with the tip of the sword, avoid the enemy's force, and attack all around him.

The woman in black robe was caught off guard, her face and ribs were covered by sword light, she heard several cracks, her veil was lifted open, and the robe on her side was also cut open.

After the veil fell to the ground, Zhou Jun saw the woman's appearance and couldn't help but stood there blankly and asked in surprise: "Siyunna?!"

Hearing this, Huayue took two steps back and asked Zhou Jun, "Do you know her?"

The latter nodded and said: "She is the Kitali geisha from Pingkangfang, and I have met several times."

Huayue lowered her head and looked at the rip in Xiyuna's robe, and said to Zhou Jun: "She is a Zoroastrian."

Zhou Jun was stunned when he heard this: "Zoroastrianism?"

Huayue pointed at Siyunna's robe with a sword and said: "Zoroastrianism worships the Holy Fire of Light, also known as Zoroastrianism. There is a Holy Fire emblem in the religious robes."

Zhou Jun took a look and found that it was exactly what Huayue said.

Seeing that her identity was exposed, Xiyun Na simply stopped hiding and slowly took off her hood, revealing her long brown hair. She also looked at Zhou Jun with a pair of green eyes and asked softly: "Master Zhou, are you okay?"

Zhou Jun saw Xiyun Na defeated by Huayue, but there was no panic on her face, and he suddenly realized in his heart that the opponent must still have some tricks up his sleeve.

Zhou Jun stared at Siyuna while recalling the other party's actions in his mind.

Although she is well-known in the north, Siyuna, the Hu girl, usually behaves carelessly and seems to have no scheming. Apart from her figure and beauty, the only thing that can leave an impression on others may be her dancing posture.

After thinking about this, Zhou Jun began to look at the surrounding environment and asked Siyuna: "Why are you looking for me?"

Siyuna shook her head and said, "As I said just now, I'm not looking for you, it's the saint who wants to see you."

Zhou Jun: "Who is the saint?"

Siyunna: "Of course she is the fire-protecting saint."

Zhou Jun: "Why is she looking for me?"

Siyunna fiddled with the silver whip in her hand, turned her head and said, "I don't know either, she just said that you are very special and asked me to bring you to the altar of the holy fire."

While Zhou Jun was talking, he stared at the dyed cloths hanging on the shelves behind the alley wall, thought about it carefully, and already had a rough idea in his mind.

He looked at Siyuna, and first planned to try to get some information from the latter, so he deliberately provoked her: "It seems that your status in the religion is not very high. The saint ordered you to act, but...

I don’t know anything from you.”

Xiyunna smiled slightly and said: "Master Zhou, don't use harsh words. Although Xiyunna doesn't like to beat around the bush, she's not an idiot either."

Zhou Jun shook his head gently. Although this woman was Hu Fan, she was very thoughtful.

Seeing that the provocation failed, Zhou Jun asked again: "Since you said that the saint wants to see me, why don't you do it in Chang'an City? Do you have to wait until now?"

Siyunna was already a little impatient and said angrily: "You think we haven't tried it? If it hadn't been for that old Taoist priest who ruined our good deeds time and time again, you would have been arrested by me and taken to the Holy Fire Altar..."

Old Taoist priest?

Before Zhou Jun could think about it, he saw Xiyunna put her right hand in her mouth and whistled.

Suddenly, a dozen people in black robes appeared at both ends of the alley, blocking the entrance and exit.

Seeing this, Hua Yue retreated to Zhou Jun's side, sweat slowly forming on her forehead.

Xiyunna shook the silver chain in her hand, smiled at Zhou Jun and Huayue and said, "As long as you are obedient and come with us, I can guarantee..."

Zhou Jun glanced at the courtyard walls on both sides and asked Xiyuna: "Do you know where the courtyards on these two sides are?"

Siyuna was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What?"

Zhou Jun picked up a stone from the ground, looked at the courtyard wall on the right, calculated the direction, and threw the stone with all his strength.

Under the gaze of Siyuna and the men in black, the stone flew over the courtyard wall and fell into the courtyard next door.

What came out was not the impact of stones falling on the ground, but a popping sound similar to falling into water.

Without stopping, Zhou Jun picked up another stone and threw it into the courtyard. There was another sound of falling into the water.

Just when everyone was confused, a roar came from the courtyard next door: "Which god damn rat dares to throw stones into the dye vat!"

Looking at the dumbfounded Xiyuna, Zhou Jun shrugged and said: "This is the Tongtuofang next to Luoshui. Since the Sui Dynasty, most of the shops in the workshop have been dyeing and weaving shops, and the backyard of almost every shop will be filled with

Dyeing vat."

As soon as he finished speaking, another roar came from the yard: "Call for help, copycat guy! Go to the back alley and catch that mean-spirited pig-dog slave!"

Zhou Jun looked at Xiyuna and said slowly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Xiyun Na stared at Zhou Jun, then looked at Huayue, gritted her silver teeth, and after some thought, she finally shouted unwillingly: "Let's go!"

After a while, the men in black withdrew completely.

Zhou Jun pulled up Huayue, who was still in a daze, and said, "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you run away?"

Hua Yue woke up like a dream, followed Zhou Jun, quickly ran out of the alley and disappeared into the city.
