Chapter 2 The First Trial of the Evil-Repelling Sword
In a wine shop in a slum area of Nanjing City, a large wooden board eight feet wide and four feet high was nailed to the wall near the counter. The board was covered with reward notices, some were brand new and white, some were yellowed, and some were covered with reward notices.
One next to another.
"This industry seems to be quite prosperous!" At this time, Li Shi was standing in front of the wooden board with his sword in his arms, scanning over them one by one.
One of them is different from other bounties. There is only a beautiful and heroic woman drawn on the paper. Other than that, there is neither the amount of the bounty nor the publisher.
Because this reward is known to everyone in the world. It was issued by the top killer organization "Blackstone", and the reward is for Xiaoyu, one of the three former masters of Blackstone.
The reward is 50,000 taels of gold and 800,000 taels of silver that Xiaoyu himself has on his body.
The waiter at the wine shop saw that Li was young, and stared at the reward card without moving. He shook his head and muttered, "Here comes another rookie who doesn't know the heights of the world."
This was the third day after Li Shi traveled back and forth. The martial arts experience he inherited from Lin Pingzhi was quite useful. He quickly found this wine shop where martial arts people gathered, and finally found here the information related to the plot of "Sword Rain".
items.
Looking at the portrait of "Xiaoyu", Li Shi found that the color of the paper had turned yellow, and he had the idea to find a reward order with a similar color. He compared the date on the reward order, and then recalled the plot of the movie "Sword Rain", and made a rough guess.
It should be almost three years since Xiaoyu defected to Blackstone, and the plot has probably reached the second half of the movie: Xiaoyu, who has been hiding in disguise, is about to be exposed due to an accident and is found by the Blackstone organization.
After confirming the approximate timeline, Li Shi memorized a few ordinary bounties on the board. Not to mention, his memory had greatly improved after time travel.
The bounties that Li Shi recorded were all above 500 taels of silver, with the highest one being 2,000 taels. There were rewards for clues and items, and of course there were rewards for murder.
When Li Shi turned around, he found that most of the guests in the wine shop were looking at him, all with unkind eyes.
Li Shi looked at these eyes one by one indifferently. He knew that as long as he showed a hint of timidity and panic, he was telling these desperadoes: I am a fat sheep.
Li Shi now looks very good next to Lin Pingzhi's handsome and young face. The Huashan disciple's sword in his arms is decorated in a low-key manner, but the details are exquisite. At first glance, it is a good sword.
These gangsters come to the wine shop for the rewards, but it is not recommended to kill a rookie who has just entered the gangs for a good sword.
Li Shi did not leave directly, but found an empty table to sit down. Seeing some water stains on the table, he frowned slightly. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped away the water stains, then asked the waiter for some food.
.
"By the way, please ask where the miracle doctor Li Guishou lives." Just when the waiter was about to leave, Li Shi suddenly asked. While speaking, he also placed a broken piece of silver on the table near the waiter.
The waiter took a look at the broken silver and said: "On the Yangtze River in the west of the city, look for a big ship with a length of three feet and apricot-yellow sails. The miracle doctor is on the ship." The waiter pressed the broken silver, which was about one or two taels, with his hand and pulled it out.
It pushed back to Li's side.
"It's not a secret where Li Guishou lives, but I'm embarrassed to ask for objective money." After saying this, the waiter turned around and left, neither humble nor overbearing.
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the waiter's back and footsteps as he walked away, and found that all the waiters in this shop had martial arts skills, and the desperadoes in the wine shop were also very polite to these waiters.
This is reasonable. How dare you work in a place like this without two brushes?
After a while, the food was served, and the waiter even gave Li Shi a slender cloth bag. "The sword still needs to be hidden. It's still a bit troublesome to encounter the Yamen guards."
Li thanked the waiter for his kindness and put the sword into a sword bag of suitable length, with a drawstring sewn at the mouth. Then he started to eat, but most of his attention was on listening to the people around him chatting about all kinds of gossip.
The four murderers in Huainan were killed and only one was left. The son of Shenquan is still chasing Xiao Yu. Liuhe Escort Bureau hired an escort from the north. It is said that his skills are very good. Wait, let Li be against Nanjing.
I have a rough understanding of Jianghu.
"Someone seems to have seen the purple and green swords of the Kongtong sect appearing in Luoyang."
"What do they want to do in the Central Plains? Could it be that they are looking for Li Guishou to ask for the secret recipe for giving birth~"
"Haha, it's possible, after all, the old cow eats the young grass with its nose, hahahaha"
Kongtong sect’s purple and green swords?
This is exactly the news that Li Shi wants to hear. The purple and green swords are the key characters in the movie. Their destination is Nanjing, but it is not to come to the miracle doctor Li Guishou as these people in the world say, but to another place.
Purposeful.
After listening for a while, Li Shi found that there was no valuable information, so he paid and left.
Rumble~
It was sunny a moment ago, but now it started to rain lightly. Li Shi put his sword under his arm and was about to hold up his oil-paper umbrella and continue on his way, but he didn't expect three big men to suddenly come out from the left and approach him.
Each of these people was holding a slender cloth bag in their hands, with half of their spearheads shining coldly exposed. They were forced by three short guns. Li subconsciously hid in the alley on the right, and at the same time threw his umbrella at the three of them.
The oil-paper umbrella shattered instantly, slightly blocking the opponent. Li took the opportunity to pull down the sword bag and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand. Just as he was about to draw the sword, he saw a cold light stabbing him. It turned out that there was also a sword hidden in the alley.
Gun.
I'm careless! I still have too little experience in the world of martial arts.
However, Li Shi did not panic. Instead, he suddenly mobilized his evil-proofing energy, and the movements of three spears in front and one behind in an instant slowed down in Li Shi's eyes.
The long sword was unsheathed and drew an arc in the air, which was exactly the way to clear away the demons in "Evil Sword Technique".
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! There were four crisp sounds. The four men who besieged Li Shi found that their short spears had turned into short sticks, and the four spear heads were rolling around on the ground.
Taking advantage of the stunned moment of the four people, Li Shi dodged to the entrance of the alley, jumped out of the four people's surroundings, then turned around and pointed a sword at one person's throat, asking: "Is the news about the appearance of the purple and green swords in Luoyang...
How many days ago?".
It was these four people who attacked Li secretly. They were the ones discussing the purple and green swords in the wine shop.
…
Half an hour later, Li Shi returned to the inn where he stayed. This inn was very old, the rooms were relatively small, and the charges were of course cheap.
The owners of the inn were an elderly couple. They kept the inn clean and tidy, which impressed Li Shi and he chose to stay here.
Who told Li Shi to be short of money now? Lin Pingzhi went to his palace in the middle of the night, so naturally he would not bring gold or silver with him. Fortunately, he had a piece of jade on his belt, which was not big but in good quality, and Li Shi pawned it.
Twenty taels of silver.
He traveled to this world for three days and roughly understood the situation of this world.
It is now the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, a man of great talent and strategy. Although it is the same Ming Dynasty, there are some details that are different from the Ming Dynasty that Li Shi knew.
Lin Pingzhi lived in another version of the Ming Dynasty. After Li Zhi traveled through time, he encountered no problems with food, clothing, housing, transportation, and customs.
Li Shi entered the room and started practicing first. In the past three days, he practiced "Evil Sword Technique" whenever he had time. After checking Lin Pingzhi's memory, he realized that his martial arts at this time could easily kill Luo Renjie and Fang Ren.
These Qingcheng sect disciples are wise.
I can only say that "Evil Sword Technique" is too buggy! Anyone who uses it can say it is good!
Li Shi ran it for three weeks, and his evil-proofing energy increased a little, so he began to think about his next move.
First of all, since we are all in the "Sword Rain" world, it makes no sense not to fight for Rama's body.
Li Shi tried hard to recall the plot of the movie. Rama was a monk from India who came to the Central Plains hundreds of years ago to spread Buddhism. In order to influence the then emperor Liang Wu, Rama voluntarily entered the palace to teach Buddhism to the emperor.
After it was over, Rama did not return to Tianzhu, but went to a famous mountain in the Central Plains. He stayed in seclusion and faced the wall for more than ten years. After he came out of seclusion, he possessed unrivaled martial arts.
Decades after Rama's death, his body was dug out and cut into two parts. Then there was a legend in the martial arts world that Rama's unique martial arts was hidden in Rama's body, and whoever got it could get it.
Dominate the martial arts world.
Then the fight over Rama's body has continued for hundreds of years, but no one has been able to understand the secret of Rama's body so far.
Three years ago, Blackstone, the most terrifying killer organization in the world, bloodbathed the residence of Zhang Haiduan, the chief minister of the current dynasty, just to snatch half of Rama's body.
However, Xiaoyu, one of the three masters under his command, betrayed Blackstone with Rama's body, so Blackstone issued a sky-high reward, but Xiaoyu disappeared as if from the world.
Li had watched the movie, and of course he knew that Xiaoyu later concealed his identity and now lives in seclusion in Nanjing, the base camp of Blackstone.
As for the secret of Rama's body, it was not until the end of the "Rain of Swords" story that the leader of the killer organization "Black Stone" revealed: Rama's internal power can regenerate creation, regenerate what is missing and make up for what is missing. In human terms, it can make what is cut grow back.
come out.
The leader of the "Black Stone", King Chakravartin, happens to be Lin Pingzhi's "predecessor", a eunuch with excellent martial arts skills.
As a time traveler, Li can accept being a eunuch, but if he has the chance to be a man again, he is willing to risk his life.
If Li wanted to seize Rama's body, he would definitely try his best to find several people involved in the whole incident, but it would be difficult to find them in such a big city as Nanjing.
The purple and green swords of the Kongtong sect are the key figures. When they arrive in Nanjing City, it is the moment when all conflicts break out. And the news heard in the wine shop shows that they are not far from Nanjing City, and they must be faster!
However, the problem Li Shi faces now is that he still doesn't know what level his martial arts is in this world. The four guns he defeated easily before were said to be low-ranking people who didn't even have nicknames.
Li had to find some valuable figures to use as his sword test, so he began to recall those bounties.
Chapter completed!
