Volume 13 Seven Weapons: Love Ring
Since ancient times, being affectionate has only brought empty regrets.
Chapter 321: Fire in Tianxiang Hall
September, Northwest.
Su Weiyun is very familiar with this road.
He was familiar with the 600-li journey from Chang'an to Luoyang, as well as the forty camps on the northwest road, because these were originally under the control of Sima Chaoqun and Zhuo Donglai.
At the end of this road, once the territory of the Gongsun brothers, the last of the forty villages, was passed, Zhuo Donglai could no longer intervene.
The weather here changes very quickly, the temperature is still cold, and the environment is gradually becoming a bit harsh because we are approaching the Tianshan Mountains.
The Tianshan Sect had long since declined, and their disciples' swordsmanship was no longer sufficient for them to rule this place, so this place had a new owner a few years ago.
It's a double ring door.
Everyone in the Shuanghuan sect uses the Shuanghuan ring. Although the shapes, sizes and weights of each person's rings are different, they are all the same weapon - the Duoqing Ring.
Since ancient times, being affectionate has only brought empty regrets.
——It is said that once the Love Ring is put on someone's weapon, it will hold on to it tightly like a passionate woman and never let go.
There are many masters in the northwest who have made their fortunes by using strange weapons, but none of them is as strange as the "Love Ring", and they have all been defeated by the Double Ring Ring.
However, the northwest region was a place where thieves were rampant and the most vicious and ruthless gangsters had always gathered. As a result, Shuanghuanmen was unable to gain a foothold.
It was Tianxiangtang that overthrew them.
The head of Tianxiang Hall was called Ge Tingxiang. He knew very well the power of the Ring of Love, which could restrain most weapons, so he did not use any weapons at all.
He used wisdom.
He first instigated the Shuanghuanmen's followers to rebel, and then found out that the leader of Shuanghuanmen would get drunk on one day every year. Then he spent a lot of money to hire several thugs with high martial arts skills from other places. On that day, he led a large group of people to defeat the leader with the help of both inside and outside forces!
Afterwards, the huge foundation of Shuanghuanmen changed hands in just a few days, and only two disabled people and a playboy who was expelled from the sect were left.
Tianxiangtang took over the northwest territory, so of course it could not escape the eyes and ears of the Qinglong Society.
The Qinglong Society does not have much influence in the northwest region because it is too chaotic here and not as rich as the Central Plains. Even if they put in a lot of effort, it would be a thankless task.
When Shuanghuanmen was still around, Qinglong Society only dared to make slight attempts, but once Shuanghuanmen was destroyed and Tianxiangtang rose to power, Qinglong Society planned to swallow this piece of cake.
Because objectively speaking, Tianxiangtang's hard power is indeed much inferior to Shuanghuanmen.
…
late at night.
A large courtyard.
Su Weiyun has arrived in front of the Tianxiangtang headquarters.
The courtyard is deep, with a total of nine floors. Each floor has people taking turns to guard it day and night, and it is very difficult even for a fly to fly in.
Su Weiyun only came with a group of four people, including him, Minister He, the man with a small mustache, and the old scholar.
Even though the Qinglong Society promised him a hundred thousand gold, a thousand horses, a hundred martial arts books, ten beauties and a peerless sword, Su Weiyun was not very willing to come.
But in the end, Xiao Erli told him very seriously that this was not the Qinglong Society's annexation plan, but there was indeed a big evil sect in Kunlun Mountain in the west that wanted to invade the Central Plains, and the northwest was their first major action.
If the evil cult invades and kills at will, robs and burns, and even sacrifices living people to poisonous insects, captures souls, and refines corpses, then the people in the Central Plains will probably suffer terribly.
"Then why don't you and Liu Changjie go?"
Su Weiyun asked Xiaobalili this.
Little Baldy said helplessly: "Liu Changjie has taken on another super big case, which will lead to a big conspiracy, so he has to go. And I..."
"What do you want?"
"I'm fine. But I'm definitely no match for that demon cult leader."
He has already said so, what else can Su Weiyun do?
Su Weiyun looked at the courtyard in front of him. It seemed that black smoke was rising slowly from the deepest part, and flames were shining, illuminating the sky.
Minister He said, "It seems that Tianxiang Hall is on fire."
The man with the mustache sneered, "A small sect is a small sect after all. They can't even keep an eye on a fire in their own yard ."
The old scholar pondered and said, "Perhaps they were invaded by foreign enemies."
The man with the mustache said, "What other external enemies could there be? At most, they are just a few small pawns that our Qinglong Society has planted here."
Su Weiyun interrupted their conversation and said, "Go in and take a look and you'll know."
Minister He rolled his eyes and laughed, "Yes, any one of the four of us can easily wipe out Tianxiang Hall. Why bother talking about this?"
The man with a small moustache and the old scholar snorted coldly, displayed their lightness skills, stepped on the eaves and entered the yard.
The defense of Tianxiang Hall was not very strict for them, not to mention that it seemed that no one was awake in the nine-story courtyard.
The fire started in the eighth courtyard, spreading from the inside out. When blown by the wind, it became even more raging and out of control.
The man with the mustache stood on the roof, looking down, and asked curiously, "The fire here is so big, but no one from Tianxiang Hall came?"
The old scholar said, "Perhaps they have all been drugged and are still sleeping soundly."
Minister He said: "Does that mean we have to put out the fire ourselves?"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "No need to put out the fire, just save people."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into the fire and his figure disappeared in the flames.
The fire was so big that the whole house was deformed and it looked like it would collapse at any time. It was extremely difficult to rescue someone from such a fire.
The man with the mustache looked at him, then suddenly looked at the old scholar and asked, "Do you think he will get hurt in there ?"
The old scholar stared at the big house that was on fire for a long time before shaking his head.
The mustache said, "No?"
The old scholar said, "I don't know. But I know there was hardly any wind when he went in."
The mustache man casually raised his hand, felt it gently, and said, "He really had a good time to go in. There really is not a single breath of wind now."
The old scholar said, "No. I mean his body movements were so powerful that he barely even raised a gust of wind!"
The mustache guy was suddenly stunned. After a long pause, he asked, "Are you talking about his physical skills just now?"
Minister He took out a wine glass from somewhere, took a sip, and said, "I can testify that he passed by me, and I felt a breeze."
The man with a mustache suddenly became speechless.
He didn't know what to say.
——It doesn’t matter whether there is a trace of wind or not. When a master performs lightness skills , there will always be a strong sound of wind whistling.
Being agile and fast while remaining silent is an invisible technique, which can only be achieved by someone who can control every inch of strength and every bit of energy in the body perfectly.
This state is usually called "harmony between man and nature". Man is one with the universe, the breeze and the earth, so there is no wind when he walks.
The old scholar sighed, "I thought that Prince Gong Jiu was the most talented warrior I have ever seen, but who knew that this young man..."
The man with the mustache also said, "Even if it's ten years later, the chances of Gong Jiu Shizi defeating him are probably slim."
Minister He didn't say anything, he was drinking.
Before he finished his wine, Su Weiyun rushed out of the fire.
As soon as he came out, the house behind him collapsed with a loud bang, and black dust filled the air.
He was holding two people in his hands. One had a pale and handsome face, with several bone-piercing nails in his chest; the other was more heroic, with only a broken wrist.
