Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 1 Bad things always happen on rainy days
It rained heavily in Changyang City that day. The sound of the rain was extremely disturbing, crackling and noisy.
The raindrops were as big as beans and fell into the city, making water splash on the ground and wetting the rooftops.
The sky was grey, the clouds were very low, the city was grey, and there were few weeds even on the roadside.
There were even fewer people on the road because the rain came too quickly and everyone on the sidewalk went to hide from the rain. Even the street vendors were few and far between.
There are only three left.
There was a noodle stall on the street, with more than a dozen people sitting there eating noodles. They were probably from the underworld, so they all carried swords. One or two had big swords, one or two were fierce and ferocious, one or two had shifty eyes, one or two had impressive manners. In short, there was a mixed crowd.
But thinking about the noodles, they were so delicious that people ate them in big mouthfuls and wiped the sweat from their foreheads from time to time.
It was a teahouse by the road. On this rainy day, there were not many people in the room. There was just a boss, a waiter, a set of tables and chairs, and a tea drinker. He ordered only a pot of tea and drank it cup by cup.
The last one was a rouge shop on the corner. The proprietress was half leaning against the shop, wearing a flowery red dress, revealing half of her breasts. The smell of powder on her body was so strong that you could smell it clearly from several meters away. She was not beautiful, but she was heavily made up. She held a mirror in her hand, posing and taking pictures non-stop.
The people from these three families were doing their own things and had nothing to do with each other until one person appeared on the street.
It was a white shoe, stepping neither lightly nor heavily on the wet road.
The water ripples slightly on the bluestone slabs.
In the reflection in the water, a person holding a paper umbrella walked slowly by.
The brim of the umbrella blocked his face, making it difficult to see what he looked like.
I saw that he had a slight smile on his lips, which was neither deep nor shallow, and had a gentle, frank, indifferent and elegant look.
He is a person who is hard to understand, because there are very few people in this world who can make a smile carry so much meaning.
He was also a strange person because he walked without making any sound.
He was wearing a white robe, which was very plain, except for the jade pendant hanging around his waist, which looked very valuable.
Looking closely at the jade pendant, there is a word engraved on it.
The brush strokes are relaxed, free and unrestrained, yet they blend seamlessly with the jade pendant.
Looking more closely, one could see that what was written inside was the word "steal".
When the man raised the brim of his umbrella slightly and looked at the people on both sides of the street, the rain fell even harder.
He stopped in the middle of the road, holding up his umbrella, shaking his head and laughing softly.
"Do you Six Gates people have to make such a big show when arresting people? It's hard for me to pretend I don't know."
The sound of rain did not stop and the road was eerily quiet.
The raindrops blurred my vision, making the scenery on the street seem half real and half unreal, half true and half false.
After a long time, a person sitting in the teahouse moved. He turned around with a cup of tea.
"There are only twenty-one people in total. How can there be such a huge momentum?"
The man holding the umbrella smiled and said, "Twenty-one people catching one, isn't that a big deal?"
The people in the teahouse fell silent, holding their breath and staring quietly at the figure in the middle of the road.
The man holding the umbrella remained silent, smiling faintly and waiting for something.
Finally, someone in the noodle stall couldn't sit still anymore, and a big man shouted loudly.
"Li Si, you must surrender today!"
As he spoke, he drew out a sword from his hand.
What kind of sword is that?
The sword's edge was cold. The moment the sword was unsheathed, a white light flashed. The sword light just passed through the eyes of the people on both sides, and the person holding the sword had already stabbed the sword out.
The sword was so fast that it stabbed the waist of the man holding the umbrella in an instant.
This sword was also very poisonous. It pierced the Zhangmen acupoint and went straight into the Tianshu. One sword could ruin a person's life.
Unfortunately, the man holding the umbrella, named Li Si, was faster than him.
The man holding the sword only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the raindrops flew away, and his eyes only saw three moments.
In an instant, the figure appeared vividly, right before my eyes.
For a moment, a figure seemed to be on the horizon.
At the last moment, he only felt a pain in his chin, and then he flew out with his body tilted back. He saw the street scenes on both sides receding and the rain falling under the blue sky.
He was kicked flying, and he only realized it when he fell to the ground. The sword in his hand had already slipped out of his hand and he didn't know where it fell.
Blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, he felt dizzy, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.
Before he passed out, he only heard Li Si's faint voice.
"Okay, now, there are twenty, catch one."
"Tick-tick-tick-tick."
The sound of rain can be heard clearly because there are no other noises.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, on the road, Li Si, who was sitting under an umbrella, smiled helplessly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"If you don't do anything, I'll leave."
The proprietress of the rouge shop stopped looking in the mirror and looked solemnly at Li Qing who was holding an umbrella.
The people at the noodle stall stopped eating noodles and wiped the soup from the corners of their mouths.
The owner of the teahouse was still using an abacus, the clacking sound matched the sound of the rain very well.
But there is only one customer in this store every day, and I don’t know what he is calculating.
The tea drinker put down his tea, patted his body and stood up.
His face was full of righteousness. He took out the sword from his waist, held it tightly in his palm, and slowly raised his sharp eagle eyes.
"Six Gates." The voice was low and muffled, like a tiger's roar, lingering in the throat.
Then, the roar spread and loud shouts rang out.
"Catch him!"
In an instant, the rain became chaotic.
More than a dozen figures leaped into the air.
In their hands they held either knives, swords, or strange weapons, all of which were shining with cold light.
Two people even took out two long thick iron chains from behind and surrounded Li Si.
Li Si was still holding the umbrella, looking at the rain in front of him, as if the rain was so charming that he did not move even when many people rushed towards him.
The leading tea drinker was the first to rush to Li Si. At this time, Li Si was already surrounded by many people, like a dragnet, blocking all his retreat routes.
The tea drinker drew the knife from his waist. The knife gleamed coldly and it was a good knife.
As the blade was unsheathed , the scene of the street in the rain was even clearly reflected on the blade.
The falling rain melted into a watercolor painting of the south of the Yangtze River, which was a really beautiful scene.
Unfortunately, the murderous aura on the knife was too strong, which ruined this rare beauty.
"Ah, you don't understand romance." Li Si held an umbrella and shook his head, not knowing who he was talking about or who he was talking to.
Only when the knife came in front of him did he finally move.
The moment he moved, his robe fluttered and he moved as gracefully as a flying swan.
The knife light grazed the corner of his clothes but did not hit him at all.
The tea drinker's face looked grim, but he had been chasing Li Si for four years and they had fought several times during that period. He was no longer surprised by Li Si's slick skills.
If it weren't for his amazing martial arts skills, he wouldn't be so difficult to catch.
As the knife flashed, the tea drinker had already retracted the knife in front of him and shouted to the people around him.
"Why don't you take action?!"
