Chapter 2 vision out

In 944 AD, strange things happened one after another in the world. At the beginning of June, a dazzling red star suddenly appeared in the night sky and flew across the sky. From north to south, everyone in several countries can see it. In the Reclining Buddha Temple of Luoxia Mountain in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was a clay bodhisattva who said: "Killing the stars and appearing in the north, the Buddha is difficult, and the human being is difficult." The overhanging wall of Heming Mountain in Nanping collapsed, revealing a stone stele, engraved on it: "Among all the heroes, the seat is not safe, crushed and tossed, and one side is cheated."

The Huainan area of ​​the Southern Tang Dynasty was suddenly hit by a windstorm, and all the crops fell to the south, and there was no harvest for one season. A strange man appeared in a stone cave at the foot of Qingcheng in the Kingdom of Shu, and the divination and astrology were all inaccurate.Because no one has ever seen his face, he is called the faceless fairy.The Faceless Immortal is a bit weird, he only calculates the ordinary wishes of the common people, and doesn't ask about the affairs of the royal family and officials. ... In the following year, it was the season of spring again, the land in the south of the Yangtze River with clear water and beautiful mountains, warm and lingering, and the fragrance of flowers refreshing the spleen.However, among the high mountains at the junction of the Southern Tang, Chu, and Southern Han countries, there is a valley that is still a scene of chilling.

Here, the cold wind is blowing, the water is swaying and the grass is dancing, the bamboo is covered with pine, and the cliffs are inserted obliquely.Most of the area at the bottom of the valley is as dark as night, and darkness is always accompanied by silence. No birdsong or insects can be heard here, and only one or two beast roars can be heard from afar, which is extremely strange. The cliffs on both sides of the valley are full of black pine and grass.The pine branches are jagged, stretching like a black dragon leaping into the air.The blades of grass are lonely and strong, like arrows trying to kill Molong.It is these pine branches and chaotic grass that cover the bottom of the valley like night, but they also leave a little gap, allowing a ray of skylight to cast lonely to the bottom of the valley.The light falls on the surface of a stream, half of which it shines is faint blue, and the half that it does not shine is still dark green.The blue is clear and spiritual, and the dark green is deep. The slow flow of water and streams is like the circulation of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

Usually there is not a single person in such a barren mountain and valley, but at this time there are six or seven people who are not like human beings gathered here.They sat in a row in the darkest place at the base of the cliff, like a row of black clay sculptures, or ghosts who sneaked out to wander in the underworld. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the gap cast by the skylight, and fell silently along the light.There was another low-pitched beast roar in the distance, perhaps because some beings were angry or frightened by the change in light. What fell down was a fluffy and thin gray harrier. When it approached the ground, it swept in an ungraceful manner, and landed in front of those black clay sculpture-like figures.

The person closest to him stretched out his hand and plucked a withered yellow bamboo tube with golden threads from the gray kite's claw.This bamboo tube should be the golden silk bamboo that is a specialty in southern Sichuan.Gently twisting and twisting with fingers, the bamboo tube unfolded like a bamboo curtain, revealing a piece of plain hair thin paper with a square meter. (During the Jin Dynasty, Liao Feng, a military artisan in the military camp, invented a bamboo curtain flying letter. The bamboo tubes were cut into curtains and connected through them. When they were closed, they were tubes, and when they were loose, they were curtains. The rings are interlocking, similar to Luban locks , mainly used to hide military order letters. This kind of flying letter with bamboo curtain has a very ingenious feature, that is, when the flying letter is intercepted by the enemy, if you do not know how to open it and forcibly open it, the bamboo curtain and the letter will be destroyed together. Later, this technique was used again. On the basis of the original, Jianghu utensilists added various opening techniques such as left-handed opening, right-handed opening, straight folding, and cross-twisting. If the method is wrong or the steps are messed up, the hidden letters will be destroyed. It is said in the Jianghu "flying clouds with the wind". It means that the wind is flying with the clouds, and the clouds are scattered.

"Hate post?" Someone was asking. "yes." "Where is his hatred?" Someone asked again. "It's impossible to kill." "Is it from the Shi family in southern Sichuan?" "Yes, Gray Harrier Foot Pai Nan No. 3, with a black line running from the corner of the mouth to the back of the head, it is the one that the Shi family contacted us by letter." "There has only been this single stabbing round in these years. I think what I will receive will be hate-chasing posts rather than hate-releasing posts. The sword-washing gold paid by the Shi family is indeed extremely high. .So killing failed to fulfill their wish, they can only post a hate post, asking us to carry out another assassination. But how easy is it to make them truly fulfill their wish?" It was a woman's voice.

A white cloth bag was placed on a stone with better light.An old man with a bit of embarrassment said: "This is the sword-washing gold given by the Shi family at that time. I didn't dare to touch it for so many years because I was afraid of receiving the hate letter. Now there are two ways to deal with it. One is to return the stone with the hate letter." Home, and use it as a bargaining chip in the assassination of revenge. Please consider it. Retirement can protect half of our faith, and it can also avoid risky killing and damage to the disciples. Use it to protect all of our faith. It's just this The assassination is full of difficulties, and the request of hating the family is rotten. In this case, the killing karma is too heavy, and the manpower, property, and time required for the layout will be the first since ancient times."

There was a long silence. Finally, someone spoke up again: "Hey, do we have the right to hold grudges? The patriarch left five grudges with a shocking stab, we can only use his skills and not prolong his grudges." "It's not just the five hates, don't forget that the patriarch still has one thought. He thinks that the world will be unified, there will be no wars and plunders, and the common people will be safe. If he didn't have this thought, he would not have killed himself and stabbed the king to leave the five hates. So bear It is our responsibility to think about it.”

No one spoke, but the black "clay sculptures" were all nodding.For some people on certain occasions, nodding their heads is even better than smearing blood to show their firmness of heart. It was the voice of the old man again: "Since the mind is the same, let's pursue the assassination. I have arranged bees to dive at some points in the past two years, and these bees will push the entire assassination when needed. But even so I don't know if I can live to see this wonderful stab that changes the world."
