Chapter 5 Chapter Four Ning Xiaobai

During the Warring States Period, one of the Three Jin Dynasties, the country with the most prosperous literary style, the highest level of knowledge, and the most outstanding talents was undoubtedly the State of Wei. It was midnight at this time, but on the streets of Xinjiang, the famous city of Wei State, there were still sounds of sheng and bright lights. In the interlaced space of cups and cups, amidst the words and laughter of beautiful women singing and dancing, the flames of war belonged to the troubled times. , as if it was just a distant memory, as if in an extremely remote desert, it is easy to forget.

What I have never forgotten is the altar of fine wine and the plates of delicacies that go with the wine. In the large courtyard of a mansion, the gorgeous banquet and music resounded through the sky, regardless of whether other people are asleep or not, in short, as long as this group of people like it, no one dares to control how noisy and how late it will last. . Because the host of this banquet is named Gongshu Ziyu, who is the younger brother of the concubine favored by the monarch of the state of Wei today. Zhang Zhang had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.He is also a drinker and lustful person, so he drinks every day and sings every night.

At this time, the drinkers had already drank a lot of wine and eaten a lot of food, and the dudes from the family were tired of playing the old tricks, so someone suggested some new ideas. Not long after, a few idlers had an idea, and they pulled a few piglets waiting to be slaughtered from the kitchen, tied firewood to the piggies, and lit the firewood. Already in a panic, he ran and ran among the crowd, but he couldn't get rid of the frightening flame. Later, the torch burned a little shorter, and burned the piglets' backs again. At this time, they screamed and jumped, and they became a mess for a while. All the poor boys shouted and laughed, chasing the piglets Running around in the courtyard, the burning torch burned the pig's back, emitting bursts of pungent burnt smell, mixed with the smell of barbecue. For a while, the scene became cruel and chaotic.

This pig-burning trick is played until the tragic scene of all the pigs dying from exhaustion with their backs scorched.All the idlers and wan trousers shouted and laughed, not paying any attention to the cruel scene just now, on the contrary, they seemed to be playing a fun game. Amidst the noise, a person suddenly shouted loudly. "My purse, where is my purse?" This sudden yell made the audience suddenly quiet down, and the person who yelled loudly yelled a few more times. Everyone knew that this person was Wei Yangshu, the noble son of Wei State. Only then did he realize that he accidentally dropped his purse in the chaos.

Just now, in the chaos of burning piglets, everyone's attention was focused on the piglets running away screaming and screaming with the torches, but no one noticed the surrounding situation. That Wei Yang cursed a few times loudly, but no one came out to admit it. All the rich men also looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one knew why the silver bag disappeared. There are also a few aristocratic sons who have always had a problem with Wei Yang, and at this moment they sneered and said: "I don't know if it's really missing something. Maybe it's because of the grandeur of the owner. Let's see if there will be some benefits for saying what's lost."

Hearing such ridicule, Wei Yangshu became even more furious, feeling that he had lost face greatly, he jumped a few times angrily, but when he turned his head, he saw a boy carrying food walking towards the outside of the courtyard in a ghostly manner. Not knowing what kind of whim it was, Wei Yang pointed at the boy and shouted angrily: "It's you! No one else walked by me just now, only you came to take the plate on my table, and the one who stole my purse must be you poor thief!" Of course the boy refused to admit it, he defended a few loudly, but everything made sense, Wei Yangshu was so annoyed by his arguments, he rushed over and wanted to punch him.

At this time, Gongshu Ziyu looked at the situation, and called the guards to arrest the boy, hoisted him high, picked up the whip himself, and kept waving it on the ground with "slaps, slaps" on his face. But showing a relaxed grinning expression. At this time, everyone gathered around one after another, everyone had a joyful expression, because they were tired of playing the previous games, and now there is a living person at the mercy of others, it is indeed a new trick that has never been done before. The young master of your family, who only heard a few good things, clenched his fists loudly and shouted:

"Hang him, hang him!" Gongshu Ziyu laughed loudly, and said loudly: "I want to teach my good friends to know that my father, Shu Ziyu, has a tutor. How can he tolerate such a cocky boy? Today! I want to show everyone my family's discipline in front of you!" Before the words stopped, the long leather whip swept over with a "shua", and it was firmly whipped on the boy's thigh, and the clothes were torn and bleeding immediately, accompanied by the boy's loud voice scream. After a few "cracks, bangs", beads of sweat appeared on Gongshu Ziyu's forehead, but the expression on his face became even more excited, and the whip in his hand was gripped even harder.

The rich teenagers at the side were more like wolves who had seen blood. Not only did they have no sympathy for the boy's long screams, but on the contrary they shouted even more excitedly. With a hungry and cruel smile on Gongshu Ziyu's face, he swung his long whip, ready to hear the melodious sound of the whip penetrating into the flesh again. At this moment, someone behind him suddenly laughed loudly, and a bright light flashed, followed by a cold hand, and with a wave of his arm, the wave unexpectedly disappeared. Why is it that he swung the long whip with confidence, but how could it be empty and without any feeling?

Gongshu Ziyu raised his hand in a daze, and the scene that caught his eyes almost made his eyes bulge out. Because the wrist that was supposed to be holding the whip was already empty at this moment, leaving only a flat and bright red cut that was severed at the wrist. And from the incision, the eyes full of blood clearly emerged, and a spring of blood gushed out like a wave. Then Gongshu Ziyu started yelling like crazy. It turned out that with just a flash of the knife, his right hand had been severed at the wrist. It turned out that the screams of the wrists being cut off and the screams of being hung up and whipped sounded so close that it was almost impossible to distinguish them.

It was a clear-faced young man who cut off the male shaoziyu's wrist silently. At this moment, he threw the bloody butcher knife, stabbed it firmly on the ground, and then picked up the male shaoziyu with a whip. He broke his wrist, dropped it in disgust, and then waved a whip. Then, he easily pointed at the young man Wei Yangshu who insisted that the servant stole the silver bag among the crowd. "come here." Amidst Gongshu Ziyu's screams, Wei Yangshu's face suddenly turned pale, and he turned around to run away, but the young man moved very quickly, swiping his long whip, and landed on his back immediately. There was a "pop", imprinted with bloody welts. At this moment, the crowd of onlookers, like straws blown down by the wind, made way for a wide passage, and everyone ran away in a hurry. Wei Yang staggered in pain and fell to the ground. The young man quickly chased after him. , like beating a dog, flogging this mighty nobleman of the Wei State. After being whipped a few times, Wei Yang rolled on the ground continuously, and after rolling a few times, a bulging silver bag fell out of his body. It turned out that his silver bag was not lost!Just accidentally put it in another pocket of the robe. The young man did such a few things, the process seemed complicated, but the actions were done in one go, so the several accidents only happened in a flash. After breaking their wrists and grabbing their whips, the guards didn't come back to their senses until Wei Yang had been whipped more than a dozen lashes. "Ning Xiaobai!" Someone among them shouted loudly. Then dozens of big men rushed over like a tide, throwing Ning Xiaobai, a young man who was still whipping Wei Yangshu, down. Then, dozens of big men pressed him firmly like a haystack, and finally tied him up with the strongest rope. Not long after, no matter how brave Ning Xiaobai was, he couldn't withstand the siege of dozens of big men, so he hurt her all over his face, and was hung up high. In the night, the torch light flickered, but Ning Xiaobai still had a relaxed smile on his face. Some of the guards knew him as a vegetable vendor in the city of Xinjiang, and he often fought with others, but this time, what he cut off was the wrist of the younger brother of the king's favorite concubine, and he whipped the son of the nobleman, committing a crime. With these two charges, no matter how powerful a person is, it is difficult to survive. Seeing that the archers from Gongshu's mansion had appeared, that Gongshu Ziyu's face was pale, but his expression was ferocious. It seems that he has made up his mind to shoot the street hooligan who cut off his wrist with random arrows to death. Ning Xiaobai was hung high on the wooden frame, seeing the shining arrowheads on the bow, he felt a little disappointed. Thinking of his sudden sense of justice, he helped the wronged boy, and now he will become a hedgehog shot to death in a short time. He didn't feel any fear in his heart, but just felt that today I simmered a pot of shredded ginger fish soup early in the morning, and it was a pity that I would never have the chance to finish that pot of soup. The bright arrowheads gleamed under the light of the torches. Some of the onlookers on the side showed excited and cruel expressions on their faces, while others were timid and dared not take a closer look with their eyes covered. At this time, Gongshu Ziyu hissed loudly: "Let the arrow!" But the voice had stopped, but he didn't hear the expected sound of whizzing arrow feathers piercing the air, only heard the surprised sounds of "Huh?" and "Ah!" from all around. It turned out that for some unknown reason, the arrows of those archers hung down limply like melted wax strips. Even if someone let go of the bowstring, the arrows they shot still fell to the ground weakly. . Ning Xiaobai, who was hanging in mid-air, also had a look of surprise on his face, not knowing why he had escaped with his life at such a critical moment. Among the crowd, someone has already shouted anxiously: "Demon law! It's demon law!" Gongshu Ziyu was furious, and the severed wrist was even more painful. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he shouted loudly: "Arrows won't work, burn him to death! I want you to burn him to death!" The guards didn't dare to neglect, they piled up a lot of wood under Ning Xiaobai's feet in a hurry, and a captain raised the torch, ready to light it. At this moment, there was a clear voice in the air. "Who dares to light a fire!" There was a clear sound of "swish", a flying arrow came from nowhere, and the torch was shot down with a sound of "duo". above the broken wrist. Gongshu Ziyu yelled like killing a pig, in pain and shock, but he didn't know where the archer was hiding. The skill of this divine arrow is extremely surprising, and some of them have learned archery skills for a few days, so they know that the person who shot the arrow must have extremely high attainments in archery. When everyone was terrified, the surroundings of the compound were like dark clouds, and countless silent soldiers in black suddenly crowded out. At some point, this mansion compound was surrounded by this mysterious army. From among the army, at this time, a handsome and noble young man came out slowly on a horse and said loudly: "I'm Zi Ke from Qin State. I saved Ning Xiaobai. Does anyone have any opinions?" All the children from rich families have long been frightened by this mysterious army, but how can anyone dare to answer?Some fell to their knees, muttering words, while others sat limp, not knowing what to do. That male Shu Ziyu was a entanglement man, at this moment his attendant had pulled out the flying arrow, enduring the pain, he hissed again: "My mansion is a respectable family in Wei State. If you come and go at will and take away my death row, where will I put my face?" Seeing Zi Ke's polite words, he thought that there was still a price to talk about, and when he thought about it, he became even more confident: "No matter what, this is always my place, you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he flew into the air with a "huh", and before he recovered, he found that he had been hung high on the wooden frame like Ning Xiaobai. Not only that, Zike's subordinates moved so fast, their hands and feet were like the wind, and in a short while, all the guests and guards in Gongshu's mansion were all hanging on the wooden frame.Only Xiaobai, who had been tied up before, had loosened his shackles at this time, standing on the ground looking up at the group of rich kids hanging in mid-air like grapes, with a vicious grin on his face. Gongshu Ziyu didn't know that this disciple Ke of the King of Qin never negotiated conditions with others. Rather than wasting it on a person like him, with Zi Ke's style, it would be far easier to simply kill him. Ning Xiaobai laughed loudly, took a big bow from Zike's subordinates, put an arrow on it, and aimed carefully. The target of aiming is, of course, the frightened public loser fish.At this moment, his arrogant face has completely disappeared, the host and guest have changed positions, and now his life is imminent, and his whole ugly appearance is revealed. "Big... my lord, big brother..." he howled in the air, "I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare, I'll call you daddy! Okay? If I call you daddy, don't kill me, okay?" it is good……" "Shua Shua Shua Shua" several times, Zi Ke's subordinates behind Ning Xiaobai also drew out arrows neatly, aiming at the other rich sons and brothers. Those sons and sisters are usually spoiled. Whenever they saw such a terrible scene, some fainted on the spot, some begged for mercy loudly, and some simply burst into tears. Ning Xiaobai kept laughing, but he didn't put down the bow. He stretched his arms lightly and fully drew the bowstring. Amidst the laughter, the arrow shot out with a "swish". At this moment, the male loser couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned blue, his eyeballs rolled up, and he fainted from fright. With a "swish", the arrow didn't hit him, but just passed by his cheek. Immediately afterwards, the flying arrows of the officers and men of Zike had also been shot, and the sound of piercing the air was one after another, but they were all the same as Ning Xiaobai's arrows, none of them hit their bodies, but only passed by those sloppy boys. face. I also heard the sound of "哗啦" and "噗噗" one after another, followed by bursts of stench. It turned out that the rich boys who were hung up were so frightened that they shit and peed their pants. The person peed a little more, dripping to the ground like spring water, the ticking sound matched each other, and the sound of crying and fright was endless. After doing such a naughty thing, Ning Xiaobai felt very happy, almost broke his belly from laughing, and turned to leave, but found that Zike led the army, blocking him in front of him with deep meaning. It was the first time the two met, but for some reason, it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time, without any sense of strangeness. Zike had seen Ning Xiaobai's image on the stone wall before, but the sense of familiarity in front of him was clearer than the feeling of having seen the image before. It seems that I have seen this person in a certain place a long time ago, and I am also a very close friend with him. In Ning Xiaobai's heart, it was the same feeling. "Ning Xiaobai?" Zi Ke said with a smile: "You are Ning Xiaobai?" "Your name is Zike?" Ning Xiaobai also smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me." "It's not that simple that I saved you," Zike said seriously, "I have something for you to do." Unexpectedly, Ning Xiaobai did not show any surprise. Moreover, his answer is even more surprising. "I know," Ning Xiaobai laughed heartily: "And I knew you would come from a long time ago." It turns out that Ning Xiaobai is not an ordinary person in the market. He is a descendant of the witch clan. His father has worked as a fortune-telling wizard in the witch divination unit of Wei State for generations. Later, because he was framed and convicted, he lived among the people. The days of hawking vegetables. However, Ning Xiaobai's father did not hide the witchcraft passed down from his ancestors. He had already taught him all of them when he was young, but he made him make a solemn oath, unless it was a critical moment, he would not Can use witchcraft. Therefore, just at the critical moment, it was Ning Xiaobai's "softening technique" that softened the arrow handles of the archers. However, without Zike's rescue, he still could not escape the fate of being burned to death. Before his father passed away, he had told him that one day, a noble son from the state of Qin would come and ask him to complete an extremely difficult task. As long as this noble son appears, Ning Xiaobai can freely use the strange spells taught by his father. Under the starry night, Zike explained in detail the ins and outs of the "Nine Sons of the Dragon, the Essence of Yuan Ying" on Kunlun Mountain, and explained the catastrophe that will occur in the world.After listening to his narration, Ning Xiaobai Ya understood what his father said before he died, that the "extremely difficult task" was to travel across countries to find the nine "Dragon Son Yuanying". Ning Xiaobai's previous ancestors were actually one of the mysterious gods who created the "nine sons of the dragon and the Yuanying essence". Therefore, their Ning family has a fateful relationship with this dragon son and Yuanying for generations. In the legacy of the ancestors of the Ning family, they had long predicted the changes in Kunlun, and they also agreed with their descendants that they must find the dragon son Yuanying again, because that was the fate that the Ning family had set thousands of years ago. . Therefore, after listening to Zike's narration, Ning Xiaobai did not hesitate at all, but nodded firmly. "Okay, I'll go!" So, the group finally found their first target, "God Man" Ning Xiaobai, and then, according to the instructions on the stone wall, what they wanted to find was the first "Dragon Son Yuanying". And the country that hides the six sons of the dragon "Beast Kiss" is the most legendary, mysterious and powerful country in the south of the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Chu State".
