Dragon Soul Heroes - Chapter 3: The Image of the Imperial Capital

As early summer arrives, the sun shines brightly and the weather gradually gets hotter.
Every day, many people travel along this route to Yujing. Some ride tall horses, some walk, and some pull carts with mules to transport goods to the capital for business. However, this year, many scholars are heading to the capital because it is the year of the special imperial examination, and passing the exam is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
Some scholars from well-off families traveled to the capital by carriage or horseback, but those impoverished scholars had to walk, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the capital, all for the chance to pass the imperial examination and bring glory to their families.
The two scholars, who had been traveling together to the capital, found their legs aching and numb from walking. They found a shady spot to sit down and cool off. They took out their water pouches to drink some water, only to find that the pouches were empty. They couldn't help but curse their bad luck. They could only wipe their sweat with their sleeves and swallow their saliva, hoping to moisten their throats, but their lips were very dry and their throats felt like they were on fire.
Leaning against the tree trunk, the two scholars wished they could uproot the tree, thinking there might still be some water under its roots.
"My two elder brothers, you've finally arrived!"
Upon hearing the sound, the two hurriedly looked up and saw a scholar approaching from a distance. He appeared to be in his early twenties and had a friendly face.
He rushed up to the three men and bowed, saying, "Brother Xuyun, Brother Ruogu, you must be tired from your journey. I am honored to meet you." The scholar named Xuyun caught his breath and said, "Ziyi, you arrived in Yujing half a year earlier than us. Do you know what the situation in the capital is like now, and who will be in charge of this year's imperial examination?"
Just as Ziyi was about to speak, he suddenly heard Ruogu say, "Ziyi, don't say that yet. You have some water with you; my throat is practically parched."
Ziyi smiled sheepishly, his face flushed, and said, "I estimated that my two elder brothers might arrive today, so I came to the official road early this morning to greet them. In my haste, I forgot to bring a water bag."
Upon hearing this, the two almost collapsed to the ground.
Ziyi said with a smile, "Brothers, don't be in a hurry. I'll get you some water to drink."
After saying that, he looked around. Although there were many people coming and going on the official road, there were also many people resting on both sides of the road.
Suddenly, Ziyi's eyes lit up. He saw a carriage parked under a big tree not far away, and a man who looked like a guard was washing the horses with water to relieve their heat.
"Brothers, can you see the carriage over there?"
Ziyi pointed to the carriage road opposite and said, "Since they can use water to wash their horses and cool them off, they must have plenty of water. I will go and fetch some water for my two older brothers."
Ruogu shook his head and said, "No, no, that man is burly and fierce-looking. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with. And look at that carriage, it is so luxurious that even ordinary officials cannot afford to ride in it. The people inside must be rich and noble. We must not offend such a person, lest we bring trouble upon ourselves."
Ziyi laughed and said, "It's just asking for a drink of water, why make it sound so serious, brother?"
After saying that, he walked toward the carriage.
Despite this, Ziyi was uneasy. There were eight or nine burly men on horseback around the carriage, each of them tall and imposing with a cold expression, giving off an extremely heavy sense of oppression.
Ziyi bowed and said, "My fellow townsman and I are traveling to the capital for the imperial examination. We have run out of water along the way, and we hope that you will kindly provide us with water."
The burly man who was washing the horse with water glared at him and shouted, "Where did this poor wretch come from? If you want water, go find someone else. Don't disturb my master!"
Its sound was as loud as thunder, like a roaring lion, deafening. Ziyi felt his heart pounding wildly and almost fainted. Even Xuyun and Ruogu in the distance were almost scared to death.
Just as Ziyi's legs were trembling, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from inside the carriage: "Achi, these are all scholars, don't frighten them."
The sound was like celestial music, jade beads falling onto a plate, ice shattering and snow avalanches. The three scholars, who should have been uneasy, instantly calmed down and stood there blankly, hoping to hear the sound again.
Ruogu murmured to herself, "Her voice is like jade breaking, her tone like flowing water. Even the chirping of a hundred birds cannot compare to this. What kind of woman in the world has such a beautiful voice?"
“Achi, we are still more than 30 miles away from Yujing, and the weather is so hot. These young masters must be very thirsty. Why don’t you give them some water?”
Achi nodded respectfully, took out a large jug of water from his backpack and handed it over, saying, "Please forgive me, young master, I have a naturally loud voice. I hope you will forgive me for any disturbance."
Although his tone was calm, it was still terrifyingly loud; it seemed as if he had shaken a few leaves off the trees nearby.
Ziyi accepted the water jug and returned the gesture of thanks, saying, "Thank you for the water, sir. I am deeply grateful."
After giving his thanks, he was about to leave when his stomach suddenly growled. He then realized that he hadn't even had a bite of breakfast that day in order to welcome his two elder brothers, and now that it was noon, he was naturally starving.
Such a loss of composure caused Ziyi's face to flush red. Suddenly, he heard the woman's voice again: "My family and I are about to have a meal. If you gentlemen do not mind, please join us."
Ziyi swallowed slightly. The people inside the carriage seemed to notice his embarrassment, but they didn't say anything out of consideration for his feelings. They even invited the three of them to have a meal together, which warmed the hearts of the three poor scholars, who were very grateful.
Ziyi hurriedly said, "We have been traveling day and night, and we are covered in sweat. We dare not offend such an important person."
The woman smiled and said, "The three gentlemen are not afraid of the long journey to the capital to take the exam. Their perseverance alone is admirable. So how can there be any talk of conflict?"
Achi snorted, "My master has already invited you to dine with us. It would be impolite of you to refuse!" Ziyi had no choice but to return the courtesy and say, "I will ask you two brothers to express your gratitude to our esteemed guests."
The woman said, "Aunt Teng, please pass this food box to those three young masters."
"Yes, miss."
A slightly hoarse female voice rang out in the carriage, but it was full of mature magnetism.
The car door slowly opened, and a graceful figure stepped out. It was a beautiful woman with a captivating figure, her slender waist swaying like a water snake.
The three men had never seen such a stunning beauty before. Their hearts raced, their faces flushed, and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.
The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Young masters, am I really that ugly? Why don't you look at me properly?"
Xu Yun hurriedly said, "Madam's beauty is comparable to the bright moon, but as the old saying goes, one should not look at what is improper. I dare not overstep the bounds of propriety."
The woman chuckled and said, "What a fine 'don't look at what's improper'! What an interesting little scholar."
These words made the three of them blush deeply.
The three men took the food box, opened it, and found it contained exquisite and delicious dishes, including pine flower fish, braised pork hock, and smoked ham... The three men came from poor backgrounds and had never seen such dishes before.
The three of them were already hungry and thirsty, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The delicious food filled their mouths, and the three of them were immediately invigorated and their fatigue disappeared.
The woman in the carriage then said, "I have yet to ask the names of the three gentlemen."
The three hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully, and introduced themselves.
"My name is Xue Le, courtesy name Ziyi."
"My name is Guo Fei, courtesy name Xuyun."
"My name is Zhang Ming, courtesy name Ruogu."
"So it's the three young masters Xue, Guo, and Zhang."
The woman in the carriage said softly, "From what you three just said, it seems that Young Master Xue has been in the capital for some time now. I wonder if you could tell me a little about what happened in Yujing?"
Xue Le said, "I have only been in the capital for half a year and am not yet familiar with many things, but since you have asked, I will certainly do my best to serve you."
The woman said, "Then please tell me about the major events that have happened in the capital in the past six months, Young Master Xue."
Xue Le nodded and said, "There have been three major events in Yujing in the past six months. The first is that Commander Xiaoqing was granted the title of a king of a different surname. The second is that His Highness Prince Song presided over the civil examination this time, and His Highness Prince Qi presided over the military examination."
"Um?"
车厢内的女子轻叹一声，似乎在想一些什么事情，透过车窗珠帘的下缘，薛乐竟看到一只宛如雪玉打造的素手搁在窗沿上，葱白修长的食指正有节奏地敲打着窗沿，皓腕上挂着一串玉珠。
薛乐虽是穷苦人家，但也认得出玉质的好坏，他不禁十分奇怪，如此富贵之人为何会佩戴此等劣质的玉石。
虽说玉石质地粗劣，但戴在这明月皓腕之上，却是堪比天穹精玉，地泉翡翠。
女子问道：“请问薛公子，那第三件事又是什么？”
薛乐暗叫失礼，急忙道：“第三件事便是昨天前内阁的崔煊毅大人遭到刺杀，此际生死不明。”
“什么？”
那女子似乎很是惊讶，搁在窗沿的素手紧紧握住。
车内又响起一个清冷的女声：“小姐，该来的总会来，你先吃点东西吧。”
这时一阵清风吹过，给这个炎热的初夏带来了几分清爽，这阵风刮得很久，更将珠帘吹起了半边。
薛乐看到车厢两名女子相对而坐，由于珠帘阻隔看不清面貌，只能窥其一二，其中一名女子打开了一个精致的缠银漆盒，拨开外裹的油纸棉布，递给了过去，这名递盒的女子似乎是满头银发，但看其身段和听其声音定是一个妙龄女郎，薛乐不由暗自称奇。
对面那名女子翘着白腻如钩的兰花小指，拈出一块雪白的细糕，轻轻地送到唇边，微微张开那饱满精巧的朱唇，将糕点送入嘴中，其动作优雅端庄，忽然天成。
“明姨，我们还是赶紧进京吧。”
那女子吃完一块糕点后轻声叹道。
那银发女子嗯了一声，便招呼众人启程。
“三位公子，妾身家中有事，先行告辞，祝你们金榜题名。”
马车启动，众骑士也纷纷调转马头，随之前进。
似乎是因为马车跑得太快，又或者初夏的风刮得有些大，竟将车窗的珠帘吹了起来。
薛乐呆住了，映入他眼中的竟是一张巧夺天工的俏脸。
只见车内坐着一个年约双十的女子，肤若凝脂，粉面桃腮，柳眉细弯，目似秋水，朱唇欲滴，乌黑的秀发梳了一个妇人髻，再看她冰靥雪容上挂着几分淡淡的红晕，透着丝丝春意，明显就是一个新婚燕尔的花信少妇，在她面前便是天空的骄阳也失去了光彩。
薛、章、郭三人呆呆地看着马车远去，直到消失得无影无踪，这才回过神来。
薛乐不由叹道：“究竟是何等男儿英杰才能配得上如此娇妻！”
马车驶出十里之外，车内那名妖娆妇人说道：“少主，进京后我们是否先去与驸马回合？”
少妇说道：“不了，驸马如今既要忙与秦家姐姐的婚事，又要暗中为崔家出力，若果我们贸然前往只怕会节外生枝。”
银发女子又说道：“那我们进京后到何处落脚？”
少妇思索了片刻，说道：“先去涟漪姐姐处吧，她进京也有三年了，想必也了解到不少东西，而且至今为止我还没见过这位义姐呢，便趁这个机会与义姐见上一面吧。”
帝都玉京，自太荒时期以来，便是帝皇之都，中土神州曾有一半以上的皇朝在此建都，经过千百年的沉积和修建，玉京已是繁荣昌盛，家户百万，一旦到了夜晚，灯火通明，映得整座城池宛如玉石雕砌一般，不负玉京之名。
玉京的贵亲胡同，居住在内的人家皆是大富大贵，说是胡同，其实道路极为宽敞，可以并排驱使三辆马车，一排一排的豪宅整齐地耸立着，其中最为气派的莫过于崔家的宅院。
石狮镇守，华岩为阶，铁木铸门，大门顶端挂着崔府二字，单是一个大门已是如此气派，进入里屋，更是华贵优雅，红花绿叶，琼楼玉宇，碧水轻桥。
本应是一个人间仙境，但今日整个崔府都陷入了一阵不安，大夫出出入入，下人更是忙得满头大汗。
屋门紧锁的房间前，一名俏丽女声说道：“小姐，大夫从昨晚一直忙到现在，大少爷的伤势究竟有多重？”
说话的是一个俏丽小丫鬟，蛾眉曼睩，桃腮含晕，实说不尽的标致动人。
“柳儿，大哥的伤势究竟如何，我也不清楚。”
一名少妇轻叹道，浓浓的愁绪笼罩在她眉头，有种说不出的忧郁美态。
她皮肤白皙，容颜娇美，一袭苏红的窄袖襦衫，银红相间的细长裙，腰间系着一条雨丝腰带，丰满的胸脯与臀股倏然深陷，束出一把圆润媚腰，一身绛色，宛如一团烈焰，令飞蛾甘愿扑火。
“小蝶！”
一名年约五十的男子疾步走来，浓眉大眼，两鬓花白，蓄着一把修长的胡须，额头上布满了细汗，在他身边是一名年纪相仿的男子，身材修长，脚步稳健，指节较粗，双手虎口处生着一层老茧。
少妇朝两人行礼道：“小蝶拜见爹爹，拜见公爹。”
这名绛衣少妇便是崔家小姐，韩家媳妇崔蝶。
这两人分别是崔韩两家的家主，白鬓男子便是崔远平，而另外一人便是崔蝶亡夫的父亲韩志。
崔远平面带焦急地道：“大夫他们怎么说？你大哥有没有事？”
崔蝶叹道：“女儿也说不清，大夫说大哥的脉相十分诡异，似有似无，脏腑十分微弱……”
崔远平问道：“那这又是什么意思？”
崔蝶微微一愣，红唇轻轻颤抖，不知该说些什么。
韩志叹了一口气道：“亲家，这意思便是煊毅的生机十分渺茫了。”
崔远平微微一震，双拳握得咯咯直响，眼中透着凶横的怒火，但更多的是冰雪一般的冷酷，良久长叹一口气道：“让大夫们尽力而为吧，如果煊毅真的撑不过这一关，那也是他的命。”
韩志微微一愣，他发现这个亲家比他想象中还要稳重冷静，不愧是百官之首，内阁之魁。
韩志叹道：“小蝶，煊毅究竟是如何遇险的？”
崔蝶道：“公爹，媳妇也不是很清楚，我赶到的时候大哥已经昏迷不醒了，只知道凶手是一个持刀的僧人。”
韩志微微一愣，奇道：“僧人？莫非是佛门……”
崔蝶摇头道：“我看不像，那个和尚浑身散发着邪气，神态诡异，武功更是古怪，根本就不像佛门中人，而且他还口口声声说什么断罪洗孽的。”
韩志又问道：“那后来呢？”
崔蝶叹道：“那个僧人被林姑娘和她的师妹联手逼退了。”
韩志微微皱眉，奇道：“这林姑娘又是谁？”
崔远平解释道：“林姑娘是小蝶当年认识的一个好友，武功极高，帮了小蝶许多忙。”
韩志哦了一声，又道：“小蝶，老夫刚到帝都，许多事还没有头绪，你先将当时的情况再说一遍吧。”
崔蝶点了点头，思绪回到了昨天夜里。
内阁事情繁忙，每天都要晚上才能结束，由于父亲身体抱恙，所以这次是崔煊毅一个人进宫，由于现在局势十分复杂，崔蝶每天都亲自护送兄长和父亲，这次也不例外。
崔蝶出门之前已经算好了时间，等她到达宫门外时，内阁会议正好结束，兄长走出宫门尚且需要一些时间。
崔蝶乘着马车驶出贵亲胡同，朝着皇宫方向而去过了前面的小道便是直通皇宫的大路，崔蝶从车窗珠帘的空隙向外看去，这条小道甚是狭窄，而且一到晚上行人就很少，每次经过她都得十分小心，因为这里是一个埋伏刺杀的好地点。
马车还是像以往一样行驶，即将驶过这条小道，前面便是通往皇宫的“国运街”，崔蝶浑身毛孔忽然一紧，美眸凝聚出锐利的光芒，她看到了前面摆着一家面摊，摊子没有伙计也没有老板，只有一个身着道袍的男子坐在一张桌子前，他一只袖子是空空如也。
诡异面摊，断臂道人，崔蝶的神经猛地一下就就绷紧了，如果此人心怀不轨的话，她也不敢大意，因为对方是明目张胆地现身，证明已经做好了充足的准备。
道人缓缓转身，相貌甚是清奇，须发梳理的十分整齐，若不是四周气氛如此诡异，崔蝶还以为他是一个和善的仙长。
道人开口笑道：“崔小姐，此路不通，请回吧。”
崔蝶跃下了马车，暗运冰火二劲，凝神戒备，柳眉一扬，冷哼一声道：“如果我偏要过去呢？”
道人笑道：“那便得罪了。”
说罢从怀里掏出一个铜铃，轻轻摇了几下。
当当，清脆的铃声响起，犹如丧魂冤鬼在哀嚎，崔蝶只觉得一股寒意用来，心神一敛，忽闻一声石头破碎的声音响起，只见左侧的屋子内冲出了一个庞大的身躯，竟然是一个肉鼓鼓的大胖子，他的力量极大，将屋子的墙壁硬生生撞破一个大洞。
胖子发出如同野兽般的嘶吼，猛地扑来。
崔蝶窥准对手来势，红裙一动，下盘用劲，裙面上曲线浮凸，依稀见得小腹平坦，玉腿丰圆修长，裙布被肥美的雪臀撑得饱满，腿根处一抹丰腴凹陷，玉足翻飞如扫雪，一个扫堂腿便将胖子绊了个狗吃屎。
扑通一声，胖子的摔倒在地，浑身肥肉不断地抖动，那庞大的身躯更震起漫天尘土。
独臂道人铃铛再摇，胖子搜的一下跳了起来，那动作轻盈敏捷，丝毫不符合他那个体形。
胖子又是一声怪叫，挥拳朝崔蝶打来。
崔蝶冷哼一声，马步挪移，素手聚气，对着胖子的拳头便是一记火云掌。
灼热的火劲将胖子的整条手臂烧得通红，肥肉不住地渗出一股恶心的焦臭味，可是那个胖子丝毫不畏疼痛，怪叫连连，再施五分力道，身子如同一块滚落的巨石般，不住地向崔蝶压来。
崔蝶不由一愣，这胖子虽无内力，但却有着一身蛮力，竟能跟烈火真气抗衡，而且丝毫不畏火烧。
倏然那个道人再度摇铃，这次的铃声是三长七短，胖子嗖的一下就收回了拳头，另一只手五指筛张，朝着崔蝶的面门抓来。
崔蝶有些诧异，将犹如春葱般的食指中指并合，一指点去，恰好正中胖子的掌心。
这一指乃是“冰火浑天决”中的“灵火指”，讲究将火劲聚合在一点，增强杀伤力。
破的一声，胖子的手掌被“灵火指”一击点破，穿了一个大洞。
但他却毫无痛苦的表情，只是呆呆地盯着对手，崔蝶这时看清楚了他的眼睛，那竟然是一双赤红如血的怪眼。
道人再度摇铃，胖子竟然打出了一套似模似样的武功，拳腿掌指无一不齐，崔蝶心里奇怪，但手底却不含糊，火云掌招招凌厉，闪电般拍在胖子身上，留下焦黑的掌印，将胖子的身体焚烧得发出丝丝臭味。
崔蝶暗自惊奇：“这胖子究竟是什么来头，寻常高手中了我的火云掌早是焚经烧脉，可他竟然跟没事人似的。”
倏然胖子吼了声，粗肥的臂膀犹如两条大蟒蛇般同时卷出，嗖的一下竟缠住了崔蝶的火云掌，再看那胖子双手轮圆，化劲运力，火云掌的火劲霎时消散，崔蝶也被这股柔力荡地马步失衡。
“太极盘丝手？”
崔蝶惊叫了一声，这胖子所用的手法分明便是以柔制刚的道门绝学，还没来得及思索，只见胖子一个箭步踏来，一击直拳冲来，绵手化刚拳，正是“真武神通拳”。
崔蝶也并非易于之辈，莲足向后一挪，左肩微沉，右掌再度推出，纤白素手瞬间封住“真武神通拳”，再看崔蝶柳眉倒竖，托住对手的玉掌瞬间变得一片通红，灼烈火劲猛然爆发。
“滚开！”
崔蝶一声怒喝，浩荡真元如同山河决堤，胖子虽是天生蛮力，但也难挡烈火雄劲，被硬生生震开，而且火劲将他全身包裹住，整个人就像一个被焚烧的大肉丸。
叮铃一声，道人再次摇铃，被震到半空的胖子来了个一个后空翻，双足竟是安稳落地，再看他双拳紧握，朝着胸口同时打去，浑身肥肉猛然一抖，身上的火焰立即熄灭。
崔蝶不由一愣，这胖子除了衣服被烧坏之外，身上最多就只有一些焦黑的痕迹，好像并没有什么事，一双赤红的眼睛呆滞地看着崔蝶。
“居然没事？那我就就把你的脑袋切下来，我看你还死不死！”
崔蝶银牙紧咬，双目紧紧锁定了胖子的命门，撮指成刀，一抹冰寒之气涌上玉手，正是玄冰刀的起手式。
独臂道人嘿嘿一笑道：“今日前来纯粹为了验证贫道所炼的武奴，想不到这个胖子武骨平庸，此刻竟然能跟崔小姐这等高手僵持，也算是成功之作。”
崔蝶冷笑道：“旁门左术，非武道正宗！你信不信我三招只就把这胖子给拆了？”
独臂道人呵呵笑道：“冰火浑天决天下闻名，贫道怎会不知。不过崔小姐，你似乎没有多少时间浪费了。”
崔蝶玉容一沉，寒声道：“什么意思？”
独臂道人笑道：“往日小姐都要亲自护送父兄，今日你被贫道的武奴阻挠了这么久，想必令兄已经出了皇宫，没有小姐在身边，崔大公子回府的路可不太平安啊。”
崔蝶面色大变，这个道人拦阻自己原来是为了让同伴截杀崔煊毅。
道人嘿嘿一笑，带着武奴飘然而去，崔蝶也懒得搭理他们，施展轻功朝着“国运街”奔去。
大街中央，有辆支离破碎的马车，两匹拉车的骏马被人砍掉了首级，鲜血流了满地，崔煊毅正躺在上面，浑身染血，不知是马血还是人血，双目紧闭，生死不明。
只见两条婀娜身影正挡在崔煊毅跟前，与一个持刀僧人大战。
崔蝶一眼便认出了林碧柔，再看另外一女，身段窈窕，脸戴面纱，乍看之下有几分眼熟，再听林碧柔叫了一声师妹，崔蝶才醒悟过来，此女便是盘龙圣脉的神龙祀寰——玉无痕。
“无痕祀寰怎么也来玉京了？”
崔蝶一边查探兄长伤势，一边思念道。
崔煊毅气息微弱，崔蝶急忙输过真气激活他体内生机，这时那个僧人说道：“女施主的罪孽深重，待愆僧渡尔脱离苦海吧。”
说罢手中血色魔刀朝着林碧柔横扫而来。
玉无痕那会旁观，她袖子一番，一条丝带如同蛟龙出海，嗖的一声缠住了血刀。
僧人手腕发力，浩荡魔气透体而出，刀锋瞬间绽放邪异血芒，笑道：“断！”凌冽刀气便要隔断丝带，谁料丝带却是丝毫无损。
僧人甚是惊讶，啧啧叹道：“好奇特的丝带，竟然能承受‘戮血罪刀’之锋芒。”
随即语气一转。
冷笑道：“丝带虽好，可惜你承受不住愆僧的‘禅孽魔经’！”
话音方落，愆僧内元爆发，佛光魔气汇聚于血刀之上，顺着丝带冲向玉无痕。
只见玉无痕双足挪移成浪涛，真气流动化漩涡，此招正是海之卷的卸劲绝式——漩涡流，愆僧浩荡真力被此旋转挪移的功法卸去，玉无痕手中的丝带也是大有来头，此带名为“鱼龙绫”，乃是以蛟龙鳞片和深海巨鲸的肉筋所炼制，丝带的质地柔中带刚，故而能缠住“戮血罪刀”。
血刀被“鱼龙绫”缠住，佛魔真气亦被和“漩涡流”化解，愆僧竟陷支拙，林碧柔见状，翻掌祭出灭之卷，“灭神掌”轰然拍去，正中愆僧胸口。
愆僧眼射邪光，真元怒张，佛魔威能凝聚全身，尽挡林碧柔灭神之掌，正是“世尊孽体”。
林碧柔咯咯娇笑道：“大师好功力，奴家若不再加把劲，恐怕难度大师出苦海了！”
说话之间，功力转化，灭之卷褪去，雷之卷上手，强烈的天罡雷音硬生生震入愆僧胸口。
愆僧脸色一变，不再保留，再运“禅孽魔经”，霎时佛光大炽，魔气暴涌，在林碧柔的真气没送出之前，硬生生地从玉无痕的鱼龙绫中抽回血刀，并闪电般后退。
林碧柔掌势未尽，追着愆僧打了过去。
愆僧手捏邪指，挥动骷髅佛珠，环绕更唱魔梵邪唱，一眨眼，迸化一百零八具骷魂，鲸吞刚烈的雷劲，正是禅孽魔经之“万佛魔障”。
绝式失利，林碧柔只觉得胸口一阵憋闷，暗忖道：“好厉害的贼和尚，单打独斗我绝非他的对手。”
一招瓦解林碧柔的公式，愆僧尚未来得及喘气，便觉得一股怒涛洪流涌来，正是玉无痕，只见她衣裙飘逸，玉掌掀狂浪，正好趁着愆僧前招已尽，后式未出的空暇，劈手便是一招“惊涛势”。
林碧柔笑道：“好一招惊涛势，待姐姐也来推波助澜！”
娇笑声中，她手捏呼风之法，风之卷赫然上手，四周气流化作刀刃，“烈风刃”铺天盖地地劈向愆僧，正是风起浪涌，推波助澜。
风海二卷齐出，就算是愆僧也不敢大意，舞动戮血罪刀，再施密录，打出禅孽魔经的又一绝式——血轮天葬。
The Sinful Buddha swung his blade, completely blocking the power of the wind and waves. With a loud bang, the ground of Guoyun Street was blasted open by the true energy of the three people, creating a crater two zhang in size. Furthermore, the blade energy raged, cutting countless cracks within a five-zhang radius.
The earth-shattering fight between the three had already alerted the patrolling soldiers. A squad of more than two hundred armored soldiers rushed over, shouting, "Who goes there? Stop right there!"
The monk laughed and said, "I have already converted benefactor Cui Xuanyi. Having accumulated enough merit for today, I will come again to convert the two female benefactors in the future!"
Before the laughter subsided, he turned into a streak of red light and vanished on the spot.
Yu Wuhen looked at the departing monk and asked, "Senior Sister, could this person be the mad monk that the Dragon Lord mentioned?" Lin Birou nodded and said, "It is indeed this person; his foundation is truly unfathomable."
Soldiers rushed in, swords drawn and pointed directly at Lin Yu and her companion. The soldier leader shouted, "You dare to fight in the street right under the emperor's nose? Are you tired of living?"
Lin Birou glanced at him coldly, showing no respect.
The soldier was immediately stunned by Lin Birou's beauty. Not only him, but the soldiers behind him also stared blankly, thinking to themselves, "Where did this beautiful woman come from? She makes my bones go weak."
The soldier pointed at Yu Wuhen and said, "You, what are you doing? You're wearing a veil, you must be a bad person. Take off your veil!"
After saying that, she reached out to lift the veil.
Yu Wuhen was instantly enraged. He unleashed his true energy, forcefully sending the soldier flying. Only Long Hui could remove this veil. This soldier was simply courting death. If he hadn't wanted to avoid causing trouble for Long Hui, he would have been beheaded long ago.
The soldier leader yelled angrily, "Damn traitors, take those two women down!"
"Who dares!"
Cui Die gave a sharp rebuke. Born into a wealthy family, she possessed an imposing aura that immediately stunned the soldiers.
Cui Die raised her eyebrows and pointed at the soldier, sneering, "Lord Cui has been assassinated, what are you city patrol soldiers doing? Not only are you late, but you also dare to be disrespectful to these two heroines. Believe me or not, my father will report to the Emperor and have your entire family executed!"
The soldier shuddered. There were only a handful of people with the surname Cui in the court, and they were all high-ranking and powerful figures. He wondered what their relationship was with this beautiful young woman.
In this capital city, there's nothing lacking except for officials, which are terrifyingly numerous. You might bump into one or two vice ministers while walking down the street. The soldier respectfully asked, "May I ask how the lady is addressed?"
Cui Die angrily retorted, "Who I am is none of your business! Hurry up and save him! If anything happens to my brother, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
Only then did the soldier recognize Cui Xuanyi on the ground. He was so frightened that he almost fainted and quickly ordered his men to rescue him.
Cui Die said apologetically, "Thank you so much, Bi Rou."
Lin Birou smiled and said, "Sister Die, there's no need for such formalities between us sisters."
Cui Die smiled slightly and said, "I am quite surprised that Wuhen Sihuan has also come. Please come to my residence for a chat." Yu Wuhen shook his head and said, "I appreciate Miss Cui's kindness, but these are turbulent times, and my senior sister and I have important matters to attend to. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned and left. Before leaving, Lin Birou winked at Cui Die, as if she had something to hide.
Knowing that this fox spirit was strange and unusual, Cui Die didn't bother to think about it and hurriedly channeled her inner energy into Cui Xuanyi to keep him alive.
After the story was told, the two heads of the Cui and Han families looked extremely grave. Who was targeting the Cui family? Was there some bigger conspiracy behind this? Suddenly, a doctor pushed open the door and shouted, "Lord Cui's injuries have changed!"
Upon hearing this, the three rushed inside and found Cui Xuanyi lying unconscious on the bed, his face ashen.
Han Zhi and Cui Die immediately stepped forward to check his pulse, and both of them were shocked by what they found.
Han Zhi shook his head and said, "Xuan Yi's internal energy is very strange, sometimes yin and sometimes yang. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't live much longer."
Cui Die bit her lip and said, "I will use my Ice and Fire True Qi to calm my brother's internal energy."
Han Zhi nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the only way."
After saying that, he beckoned Cui Yuanping to go outside and wait.
After dismissing everyone in the house, Cui Die helped her brother up, placed her hands on his back, and was about to use her Ice and Fire True Qi to help him heal. However, she was surprised to find that her brother's aura was very strong and deep, not like that of a dying person at all. Moreover, his inner energy was profound, far surpassing hers.
Suddenly, Cui Xuanyi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, holding the beautiful young woman's mature and voluptuous body tightly in his hands.
Before Cui Die could react, Cui Xuanyi cupped her pretty face and kissed her two delicate lips, which were as red as flowers. He sucked on the beautiful young woman's sweet saliva and wrapped his tongue around Cui Die's tender tongue.
