Dilapidated houses, bright moonlight, and cold alleys.
A martial arts master with a horizontal sword, a sad and skinny young man, a cardamom girl holding a whip, a sick young man holding his back and panting, and a stunning woman with a purple box on her back.
In the eyes of all the sneaky night walkers lying on the roof, the picture under their noses made them feel less boring when they came to drink the northwest wind in the middle of the night. The night walkers are divided into several groups, each with its own benefactor, among them the most numerous and with a battle aura, are the elites from Liu Huaixi's mansion, and they also naturally occupy the two adjacent roofs with the widest view. The weapons hanging around the waist are all war knives, but there are various types. There are miao knives with slender blades that look like seedlings, and war knives that flowed into the Western Regions from the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties. There is even a man in black who looks like a leader. The old-style cold knife from the beginning of the year, only those who are familiar with the Northern Liang army can realize that it is a cavalry saber with a more prominent arc than the rifle. As Beiliang's control over knives and crossbows became stricter, the value of these cold knives that were scattered among the people in the early years also increased, and they could easily be sold for sky-high prices of seven or eight hundred taels of silver. On the Liyang River and Lake, there is a cold knife hanging on the waist, as long as it is not the kind of Gaoliang kid who can see through the depths at a glance, it can make people feel jealous involuntarily.
A guy approached the man in black with the saber, and whispered: "Chief Qi, the girl with the purple box down there is really handsome, she is even more beautiful than the Zizhu fairy who came to our house as a guest, why don't we Can we do it directly? The whole Snow Lotus City is ours. As long as we enter the city, our life is in our hands? Qi Touer, didn’t the general say that you lack a wife? Very good. The brothers discussed it just now. The snow lotus tree will be sent to the general’s mansion, and this girl will be tied up directly to your mansion, the boss. Today we will hold a wedding banquet for you and have a bridal chamber. !"
The man in black who was encouraged by his subordinates to become a king of the mountain subconsciously stroked the scabbard, his reason overcame his desire, and he shook his head, "Don't ruin my foster father's great affairs."
He is the confidant of Liu Huaixi, the local emperor of Xuelian City. He once followed Liu Huaixi close to him and counted in and out of the 100,000 mountains, so he was given this cold knife that Liu Huaixi couldn't put it down. , Liu Huaixi is determined to get that snow lotus plant, because she publicly threatened to offer it to a woman with the same name in Xishu. The snow lotus plant obtained by him has another hidden purpose. Because he is one of the mothflies who have followed Liu Huaixi since he was young, he is qualified to get in touch with some inside stories. It is said that there are now ten new sects in Liyang, and Nanjiang Dragon Palace is among them However, the new palace lord Lin Hongyuan is not only the leader of the Jianghu in southern Xinjiang, but also has a close relationship with His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu, Prince of Yanchi. He didn't know what the adoptive father was planning, but he definitely wouldn't be limited to Xuelian City. The foster father had privately revealed his yearning for the Central Plains more than once.
"Chief Qi, look, that guy seems to want to get involved, what should I do?"
The mothfly adopted by Liu Huaixi frowned, and squeezed out a word between his teeth, "Wait."
That consumptive ghost who came out of nowhere to disrupt the situation called the boys and girls aside, muttering like a poor accountant. Sure enough, the boy was full of suspicion, and the girl with a good background was even more unmoved. It is one thing for a boy and a girl to have wide and narrow horizons, but when they are undergoing great changes, they must still be wary. Who would believe that a stranger who could be easily knocked down with one finger appeared out of nowhere, but drew a big pie for them out of thin air? When the lollies on the roof took a sneak peek at the stunning woman again, especially when she saw her looking at the young man who looked like a scholar, he, who had always considered himself a hard-hearted man, suddenly had a surge of enthusiasm, and then he jumped down gracefully, More than a dozen brothers who had depended on each other for many years were not far behind, and landed one after another. Except for the three archers who stayed on the roof in tacit understanding, they all joined together to help out for the upcoming spring night. Everyone had frivolous smiles on their faces. He almost called out sister-in-law to the woman. Xu Fengnian was speaking dryly, telling the young man that as long as he wanted snow lotus, he could guarantee that the young girl would not marry. The young man was actually a little moved, but it was the girl from a wealthy family outside Xuelian City who exposed the "lie" mercilessly. Xu Fengnian said that she could protect them and leave Xuelian City safely, so she said that you should fight the Central Plains swordsman on the steps first, and then talk about other things after winning. Xu Fengnian said yes, and she also said that General Liu in the city was surrounded by a cloud of masters, and her father's Majiabao also had a hundred cavalry and two hundred archers. Fight two. Xu Fengnian's original intention was that he was afraid of agreeing too quickly and making the two children mistakenly think that he was not sincere, so he casually asked how good Liu Huaixi was, but the girl rolled her eyes and said that he was actually a charlatan who wanted to do business without money. I just wanted to trick Xuelian into my hand and run away quickly. Xu Fengnian was exhausted, so he squatted down, raised his head and was about to speak, but was utterly despised by the girl, so "understanding" let Xu Fengnian lie down and talk, his legs would not be sore, his waist would not hurt, and he would save energy. Xu Fengnian smiled and said that the real masters in the arena, wherever they fly around pretending to be a master, they all like him to show the enemy and pretend to be a grandson like this. The girl's mouth was not forgiving, saying that Xu Fengnian was not pretending to be a grandson but a real grandson. The young man who had been watching the play next to him wanted to laugh but held back a laugh, and secretly made a gloating face at Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian laughed and scolded the young man and said that this has not yet passed, even if she is in charge of the inside and outside, are you not afraid of your husband's failure in the future? The simple-minded but not really stupid boy laughed, and the girl flew into a rage, she clenched her horsewhip and pointed at this guy who was getting worse and worse, her face was full of frost, telling him to get out of here. As a result, Xu Fengnian said something later that made her completely calm down, "Why, the scourge Hong Shuzhi is in deep danger, and his conscience is disturbed, so I just think about it." At worst, let me and that pretty sister, two outsiders, not get involved? Is your girl too soft-hearted..."
The hawks and dogs raised by Liu Huaixi were about to fight, but the man with the sword on his waist raised his hand to stop their ready to move, and said softly, "Something is wrong."
Immediately after, wild laughter came from inside the room, "You guys who have met the real Buddha and don't know the Buddha, yell a hammer!"
Like a wild horse galloping through the wall of a mud house, a figure floated out, first leaped over the head of the motionless swordsman, then passed between Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni, and finally crashed into Liu Huaixi's command Rui Shi's queue. The long-soldered Liu Mansion louse let out an angry cry, held the knife in both hands after drawing the knife, urged the knife with his body, and rushed forward quickly. Tang Tong's arm used the old-fashioned way, but his hand movements were very clean, slashing and slashing, and slashed at the figure swiftly and fiercely.
The figure that sprang out of the house disappeared in a blink of an eye, and passed by the mothfly in the blink of an eye. Not only did it hit the latter's chest with its foot, but it also snatched the sword with its bare hands. The former's momentum remained undiminished until Pounced on the wall of the mottled alley, stabbed the knife into the wall, turned around, and waited until the young man who was honored as Qi Touer stopped staggering and backed up, turned his head and saw a man with two calves reaching below the knee The old man, who seemed to have been cut off by a sharp weapon, just sat on that beloved saber, looked forward to Zixiong, and said loudly: "Yo, the young man is a little bit awkward, but unfortunately he met the old man, and I will give you another twenty years of hard work." , it’s still not enough to watch!”
The domineering old guy glanced at the middle-aged swordsman who didn't stop him from leaving the house, and said indignantly: "This time, the old man came out of the rivers and lakes again, and waited for so many days in this dilapidated town, except for the empty murder sword on the steps. There is no murderous elm lump, but there is no interesting guy who comes to burn incense and worship gods? Is it possible that the old man must kill and let you stupid frogs understand that there is a land fairy in Snow Lotus City?"
The head snake in Snow Lotus City surnamed Qi turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were gloomy and cold, he shook his wrist, and asked with a smile: "The old god really wants to be an enemy of the General's Mansion?"
The old man laughed and said: "What kind of bullshit is the general's mansion, a bunch of people are blind and blind, I really annoyed the old man, and I will want you all in no time!"
At this time, Xu Fengnian smiled at Jiang Ni, who quietly approached him a few steps: "Learn a bit, and see how the old man walks the rivers and lakes. He has a lot of style. Let me tell you, we dudes don't know what to do. If you smile evilly, you are definitely a fledgling in the dandy world. In the same way, the evil masters in the world, this kind of laughter is just a beginner's skill. For righteous people, they must be immortals. After one move, you have to stand with your hands behind your back. At night, especially on a moonlit night, it’s the best backdrop. Think about it. If you put your head up and look at the moon, you have the air of a master without hurting your eyes. On the other hand, the sun is not so good during the day, it’s dazzling. But There is also a way, that is to squint your eyes, keep silent, don't speak, you can't speak harsh words, and once you say it, you will lower your status. If you don't say anything, you will let the passers-by, such as us Dial, I feel unfathomable."
Jiang Ni said angrily: "Are you bored or not!"
Xu Fengnian stared and said: "This is the golden and jaded advice that I have summed up after I personally ventured into the rivers and lakes. If others want to hear it, I will not sell it for a thousand dollars!"
The daughter of Majiabao, who pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on Xu Fengnian's "preaching and teaching", quickly dismantled the stage: "You really are a seasoned charlatan!"
The young man listened with great interest, and felt that the words really made sense. Those rich kids in Xuelian City, every time they flirted with girls on the street, didn't they just like that kind of evil smile? And every time he opened the folding fan, it opened with a crisp snap, and closed again with a snap, so he couldn't learn that smile anyway, and of course he couldn't afford that fan. So the boy was full of curiosity and asked softly, "Is there any more?"
Xu Fengnian snorted triumphantly: "Yes, the knowledge here is as deep as the sea, boy, let me ask you, is there any heroine in Xuelian City whose nickname starts with the word purple, who either likes to wear purple clothes or wear purple accessories?" , there must be, right?"
The young man was startled, his eyes were full of admiration, he nodded vigorously and said: "My lord, you are amazing! There have been three or four fairy sisters like this this year!"
The girl pursed her lips and said, "It's so great to guess such a thing. There are so many young heroes in Xuelian City who wear white robes and hang two knives from their waists. Everyone claims to be someone's retreat." Disciples, either they like to lie down on the street and watch the moon drunk, or they choose a low city wall to climb up and sit there pretending to be in a daze, or they like to go downstairs to Xuehe Tower to show off their poems. My father said that they are really skilled. There are some, but they are far worse than the top experts in Xuelian City. He also said that these young heroes were either kicked by donkeys when they were young, or their heads were pinched by the door when they grew up. Let's go."
Xu Fengnian said earnestly: "Little girl, you don't understand, these young heroes with lofty aspirations are all young and promising, and they will become heroes in the future!"
The girl ignored this guy, and gave the boy Hong Shuzhi a vicious look, "Sister Immortal?"
The young man shrank his neck, had an idea, learned what he had learned, and began to look up at the moon.
After the old man said something, the tense situation in the field took a turn for the worse, "I heard something about your master Liu Huaixi. If he is willing to enshrine ten famous swords with both hands, a thousand taels of gold, and a house covering an area of one hundred mu and one hundred maidservants, the old man will be reluctant to be his chief guest servant, even if he meets the top ten masters in the world in the future, he will be with him The confidence to challenge the board."
The young man surnamed Qi with blood on the corner of his mouth looked cloudy and uncertain, and finally smiled, cupped his fists and said: "As long as senior can take down that obtrusive swordsman so that junior can take the snow lotus for business, I will try my best to recommend it to senior. foster father."
The young man panicked and shouted: "Old man, didn't you say you wanted to take me in as an apprentice? Did you say that after you got down from the mountain, you would teach me the peerless martial arts that easily become the number one person in the world?"
The old man laughed and said: "Silly boy, with your vulgar bones, even if I give you dozens of high-quality cheat books, you still can't become a master. If the old man didn't say that at the beginning, you would help me break the formation in the cave." ?”
The old man suddenly looked at the sickly young man, "Your aptitude is so-so, do you want to join my sect? This time, this old man is destined to become famous all over the world. As long as you agree, this old man will let you go to heaven."
The old man changed the subject and looked at the young woman carrying the purple box. He was truly amazed to the extreme. Even when he was in the world, he had never seen such a charming woman. If he could be used as a cauldron, he might not be able to return to martial arts peak. The old man did not hide his greedy eyes, smacked his mouth, and said with a smile: "However, the girl next to you must belong to the old man. If God does not take it, you will be blamed instead. As for you , young man, what is a girl, as long as she has the world's first-class martial arts... "
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Come on, I wanted to chat with you for a few words, I wanted to hear how the old man in the sheepskin fur was in the Jianghu. As for you, after all, it was the Jianghu where Dongyue Jianchi and Dong Yuanrui fought against each other. Senior, although the defeat was so bad that two legs were cut off by "six dragons", it is not easy to live to this age. But since you can't think about it, there is nothing you can do. You, thank me, if it wasn't for me , you are already a corpse right now."
Jiang Ni snorted coldly.
Xu Fengnian stopped smiling, "Speaking of which, if I'm not mistaken, you are the notorious cauldron maker. You are good at using women as cauldron furnaces, using yin and yang to increase your cultivation, and even the devil's sect competes with you. A bum who is willing not to take it in."
Dong Yuanrui, six dragons, a tripod caster, competes in Lushan.
The old man who finally broke free from the cage in the Xuefeng cave was shocked.
Xu Fengnian probably said that he was tired, and squatted down again to breathe lightly. But except for Jiang Ni, everyone was stunned very quickly, and even the Central Plains swordsman was shocked, because no matter how much he suppressed the saber on his knee, it came out of its sheath by itself.
The "flying sword" slowly came to Xu Fengnian's shoulder, trembling slightly, like a bird leaning on a person, like an old horse meeting its master.
The old man was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were splitting. He stayed away from the world for many years, but his eyesight was still there.
The old man hurriedly opened his voice and shouted: "Young master, let's talk carefully, don't do anything! It's not easy for you and me to have today's cultivation..."
The flying sword stabbed straight away like thunder.
The old man didn't care about maintaining the posture of a master sitting cross-legged with a sword, and quickly raised his figure a few feet, barely dodging the flying sword nailed into the wall.
The tip of Feijian twirled and retreated, scratching out some loess on the wall.
After opening the distance, he assassinated again.
The old man who had been pretending to be a grandpa after leaving the house slammed his elbow on the wall, trying to escape over the wall, but the flying sword suddenly accelerated, and a slanted pick appeared above his head. .
The flying sword was like being teased, intentionally or unintentionally, every time it was only a narrow margin so that the old man could escape the point of the sword just in time, avoiding the miserable end of the sword piercing through the body, but he absolutely couldn't leave the wall.
The old pervert who had been suffocating in the snow mountain for decades felt like dying, and kept yelling some strange words that the people in Snow Lotus City present couldn't understand, "It's not the Qi-controlling flying sword, it's the superior flying sword technique!" "Who the hell are you from the Wu family's sword mound? Why is it that you didn't raise someone else's sword yourself, but you can draw it with divine will?!" "Are you the contemporary Wu family's sword crown, and that woman is your sword attendant?" Got it wrong, you boy... No, you can do it, sir, keep someone under the sword!"
What made the old man even more desperate was that the guy raised his arm leisurely, pulled out the knife, and held it lightly in his hand.
After half a stick of incense, the exhausted old man who was exhausted and exhausted was stabbed with more than twenty swords and hung on the wall through his mouth with a sword.
Holding the cold knife, Xu Fengnian glanced at the corpse, as if he was still puzzled, the flying sword flew out, piercing the wall time and time again at an infinite speed faster than the one he was moving forward, with a series of bang bang bang bangs, the corpse didn't even slide halfway down. inch, just like that bit by bit, it turned into a ball of meat paste.
Xu Fengnian stood up, and when he looked at Liu Huaixi's adopted son, the latter seemed to have been hit, his back slammed against the wall, and died on the spot, the wall collapsed, and the two bodies disappeared from everyone's sight, invisible to the eye , not palpitations. After putting away the knife, Xu Fengnian held the scabbard that flew back into his hand, put the cold knife into the scabbard, and hung it around his waist, ignoring the few strokes in the alley and the Liu Mansion on the roof that were almost frightening. The night walker who had urinated made a face at the boy and girl, and said with a smile: "How about it, should I believe it now? A real master like me can be very chic when squatting without standing. Standing If so, it is called a Yushu Linfeng, who dare not look in the mirror, afraid of scaring himself, how can there be such a handsome and peerless master like me in the world?"
Jiang Ni rolled her eyes and said, "Virtue!"
The boy stood in front of the girl, and the girl hid behind the boy. Her teeth chattered and she whispered, "It's amazing, but my head must have been caught by the door."
The stubborn girl tugged at the boy's sleeve, "Isn't that right, branch?"
The young man whispered, "Yes."
But soon he pretended to be a fool and made up for it with two words, "Yes?"
Xu Fengnian's mind was moved, and the long sword that was borrowed for a while flew back into the swordsman's sheath, and said with a smile: "Thank you."
The man from the Central Plains who thought he was already a top expert in Little Snow Lotus City in the Western Regions stood up and said in a deep voice, "It's the junior who thanked the senior for his kindness in teaching swords."
Xu Fengnian laughed it off, and then his whole person's aura changed completely. There was no sign of decadence before, and he turned to Jiang Ni and said, "Actually, my recovery is not slow, even faster than Tuoba Bodhisattva, as early as two days ago I was able to walk on my own before. Now that he and Li Mibi have entered the city, you have already saved me once, and this time I have a chance of winning. It’s not that I’m sure I’ll lose, so just leave me alone. Take these two children and leave Xuelian City first. , settle them down, and you can go back to Xichu."
Xu Fengnian paused for a moment, blinked his eyes, and said with a playful smile: "Maybe one day, I will go to you too. Then you will know how powerful I am, and whether I am the new Emperor Wu."
Xu Fengnian walked to the alley alone, put his right hand on the handle of the cold knife, and turned his back to Jiang Ni, "I couldn't stop Cao Changqing from taking you away. As long as I don't die this time, no one can stop me."
At this moment, the young girl saw the guy staggering suddenly and almost fell to the ground.
The girl who was still a little inexplicably moved couldn't help laughing, "It's better to squat and be handsome."
The young man nodded.
The man from the Central Plains who already regarded the handsome and skillful swordsman as a fairy figure couldn't bear to look at it.
It's just that the swordsman was startled while being filled with compassion.
I seem to have heard the names Tuoba Bodhisattva and Cao Changqing just now
This senior is not only in a relationship with Cao Changqing, but the opponent at this time is Tuoba Bodhisattva who is the second in the world? Is it even worthy of Tuoba Bodhisattva and others to hunt down to Snow Lotus City
Is this senior a land sword fairy who has never shown his face in Jianghu
It's just that the next moment, he didn't feel like it.
far away.
The stiff-faced Jiang Ni walked up behind Xu Fengnian, kicked the guy like shit, and said angrily, "Are you still pretending to be an expert?"
