After the two riders entered the alley, the horseshoes gradually slowed down.
The lights in the city are gradually dimming, and it looks more and more like the moonlight.
Li Mibi laughed softly: "The surname Xu realized later, and finally realized that it was the woman's strong sword energy that leaked the traces of the two of them, which made her take the lead in staying away from Snow Lotus City. Within a hundred miles, that Even if the Great Liang dragon bird is hidden in the box, in my eyes it is still the fireflies shining ten feet away, which can be seen faintly. However, it can be seen from this that although Xichu Jiangni is a once-in-a-hundred-year sword embryo, it is far away from the legendary sword embryo. Reaching the realm of the co-lord of the world is still a little short of time. Without Jiang Ni to press the battle, the young man has no chance of winning, the key depends on whether God will give him good luck to escape again."
Cats catching mice along the way, their own side took the absolute initiative. At this time, a deadly battle was imminent. Xu Fengnian unexpectedly made a hasty trick and folded his wings. Fighting every game, fifth raccoon dog, Yang Taisui, Han Shengxuan, Wang Xianzhi, Huang Qing and the ancestor of the bronze man are all in a situation where they are sure to win, but Xu Fengnian is the one who survives in the end. This is not simply luck. explained."
Speaking of this, Tuoba Bodhisattva smiled and said: "If the master hadn't arrived in time, I would be no exception, and I would become another stepping stone for Xu Fengnian. In the battle tonight, sir, you might as well hide in the dark. I have recovered to seven or eighty-eight. It is enough for a head-to-head fight with Xu Fengnian, no matter whether Xu Fengnian and Jiang Nizang have any backhands, or he thinks he has nowhere to go and only wants to die with me, sir can deal with it calmly."
Li Mibi thought for a while, then nodded, without hesitation, his figure flashed away on the horse's back. From the perspective of this spy ancestor who has been entrenched in the center of the spider web in Beimang for many years, Xu Fengnian won the battle between Xu Fengnian and Tuoba Bodhisattva. But in terms of victory or defeat, in fact, Tuoba Bodhisattva is always slightly better. Therefore, Tuoba Bodhisattva didn't have any knots in his mind about his attack, and the perfect and flawless state of mind did not crack. Li Mibi himself was the No. 1 Zhixuan after Han Shengxuan's death in Liyang, and he knew better than anyone else The truth of the difficulty is that not everyone can recover to the peak after falling like Li Chungang. This is the so-called "the energy can be lost, and the effort will be delayed for a few days. The state of mind cannot be damaged even for a hundred years." He was far more serious than Tuoba Bodhisattva, and he was much slower than Tuoba Bodhisattva in terms of energy filling and physical recovery. In the battle of Snow Lotus City, Li Mibi really couldn't find a reason why Xu Fengnian could get away with it. However, if Xu Fengnian insisted on avoiding the battle and fleeing, Li Mibi still wasn't so conceited that he could let Xu Fengnian die. If you don't enter the first rank, even if you are in the first rank Diamond Realm, you will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, and you can't see the spectacular scenery of the sky outside the mouth of the well. Only when you successfully enter the Finger Profound Realm and perceive the context of the movement of heaven and earth, can you be regarded as a person in the well, and then you can take advantage of the trend. It moves like a fish swimming freely in the French Open. As for the celestial realm and the more carefree land gods, they can even sit on the ground and bargain with the heavens. Li Mibi feels a little regretful, because he is the shadow prime minister of Bei Mang, he has done too many things in his life that may be in line with his own wishes but are definitely against the "morality" of the world, and he has never dared to enter the celestial phenomenon, because he is afraid that he will be trapped in a cocoon when the time comes, Li Mibi believes Han Shengxuan has never really crossed the threshold of celestial phenomena in his life, so he should have this level of concern. Li Mibi believes that there is God's will in the dark, and if there are too many secrets, it must be unacceptable by the law of heaven.
Li Mibi came to the corner of the eaves of a high-rise building in a mysterious way. On the back of the eaves under his feet, there is no carving of a common spirit beast such as a unicorn to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. Living near the water, there is a wind chime tied with a rope under the eaves, which moves with the wind, ding ding dong dong, melodious and light. This place is only 500 steps away from that alley and that hut in a straight line. It is condescending and has a wide view. Li Mibi can have a clear view of the situation there. The battle that did not disturb Xuelian City was about to break out. Apart from paying attention to the peak battle where both sides were both great masters, Li Mibi kept paying attention to the direction where Jiang Ni Yujian was going away from the corner of his eyes.
Li Mibi suddenly laughed out loud, feeling a lot of emotion for a while. Today is an unprecedented "big year" in the world, there are so many masters, even if the older generation dies a lot, but the younger generation emerges faster, this is undoubtedly the most grand event in the millennium! There are fourteen martial arts judges, four great masters and ten masters. These fourteen people are all big celestial phenomena and even land gods without exception. Xuanyuan Qingfeng and his like, in the old arena, would definitely not only enter the top ten masters, but also be among the top, but unfortunately, they bumped into such an era, if you add the monks in white, beware of these hidden Jianghu Longhujiao and Xuanyuan Qingfeng may not even have a place in the top 20. In addition to these well-known masters who have risen to the top, there is also the "No. 1 beauty in the world" who has entered the land of no one in Beimang after the demon Luoyang, the unpredictable young Wudang teacher Li Yufu, standing in the East China Sea Jiang Fuding who hit the tide at the head of Emperor Wu's city, Zhao Ningshen who was handed down from the three generations of ancestors of Longhu Mountain who walked down from the Tianshi Mansion, Qi Xianxia who traveled among the people, Wu Liuding and the sword maid, and even Xu Fengnian's three apprentices , also gradually emerged.
If the world's masters choose two people to fight against each other, Li Mibi's battle between the army god of Beimang and the king of Shangbeiliang in front of Li Mibi is probably only the peak battle between the Confucian saint Cao Changqing and the sword fairy Deng Tai'a. comparable to.
Li Mibi sat cross-legged for some reason, ignoring the commotion in the alley, closing his eyes, and the breeze was blowing on his face. The old man covered with frost and snow took out a piece of dry biscuit from his bosom, chewed it leisurely, and listened to the ding-dong of the wind chime that was close at hand, the old man shook his head as if enjoying it. After eating the dry biscuits and wiping his mouth, the old man got up slowly, looked up at the moonless night sky, and said with a hearty smile, "Hey! This world is very dangerous!"
Alley in the distance.
He greeted the guests with a crisp and powerful knife to welcome Tuoba Bodhisattva.
There is thunder in the silent place, and the moonlight rises in the flat ground.
Tuoba Bodhisattva jumped up from the horse's back. Almost at the same time, Xu Fengnian chopped the tall horse jogging in the alley in two with a single knife. Zhang's Tuoba Bodhisattva raised his saber again, but he couldn't tell whether it was the glow of the saber or the glow of the moon, and there was a vast blank in the secluded alley. Tuoba Bodhisattva clenched his fists in a beating gesture, and hammered down towards the bright blade and clear edge. The old Beiliang knife that Xu Fengnian was holding in both hands did not resist the hammer blow, and took advantage of the momentum to turn around with the knife. Rotating into a great circle, the two exchanged positions in an instant, and Xu Fengnian, who came to a higher place behind Tuoba Bodhisattva, slashed down to the back.
Tuoba Bodhisattva sank downward, and his body fell much faster than the sword glow. After his feet touched the ground, the separated fists of the king of the North Court who kept squatting knocked on the ground, It was also a turn of the body, and when the aura of the knife was exhausted for a few minutes, he headed forward, with his back to the ground, and kicked like a whip, hitting Xu Fengnian, who was already old in moves but still unwilling to give up the knife for a new one. The latter let go of the hand holding the saber, stuck it to the back of the saber, twisted it slightly, the blade turned sideways, and collided with Tuoba Bodhisattva's whip leg, and immediately there was a sound of gold and stone, like the long ringing of a giant bell.
Xu Fengnian and Tuoba Bodhisattva fell to the ground like two shooting stars at the same time, and it happened that one stood at the head of the alley and the other fell at the end of the alley.
Simultaneously rush forward.
On the way of running, Xu Fengnian showed no signs of depression, but was full of vigor and brilliance. There was no such exhaustion as when Jiang Ni was by his side before, and it was even more unbelievable that this guy would stumble while walking and needed to walk against a wall.
When the two were ten steps apart, Xu Fengnian's figure twisted, and the saber turned with him, adding a lot of momentum to the diagonal slash in a short time. Even Tuoba Bodhisattva didn't face the sharpness directly. He leaned against the wall and kept walking. When he passed by Xu Fengnian, he pushed his palm out towards Xu Fengnian's temple. Xu Fengnian lowered his head, bent over, spun on the spot, and slashed across his waist with a slash. Tuoba Bodhisattva, who missed his punch, didn't bother, and continued to charge forward, still not resisting the slash. Xu Fengnian chased after him, slightly increased the weight of his left foot, rushed to the wall obliquely, stretched out his foot and stepped on the wall of the alley, and in the next instant his figure bumped into the wall on the other side, and repeated this, trailing forward and sweeping forward, he He and Tuoba Bodhisattva started a silent fight in this unknown alley.
From the collision after the two sides landed, Xu Fengnian's two swords did not leave any traces on the floor and walls of the alley, and Tuoba Bodhisattva's punch did not leave a hole in the wall, not even a finger-sized pit.
What followed was still such an unusually gentle and treacherous situation. The narrow alley only allowed two riders to walk side by side. There is a white light. The Tuoba Bodhisattva who can clearly play the kind of aura that swallows the world can attack less and defend more, but Xu Fengnian does not have the arrogance of burning jade and stone like in the past when fighting to the death. The two of them are quicker to move and withdraw faster, as fast as lightning and thunder. There are no more bright spots. Such an extremely subtle fight is nothing compared to the fight between two second-rank junior masters named Xiongzhou County. Two great masters who are qualified to be polite to the king of heaven and earth, in this alley, are polite and courteous. There is a degree of retraction and release, neither exceeding the limit nor exceeding an inch, just like a gentleman talking.
There is no majesty of pulling mountains and rivers, no openness and closeness, only a touch of introversion, but like a woman's needlework, there is only a slight dispute.
But once successful, the world may lose a great master.
The two had a tacit understanding of drawing the ground as a prison.
Alleys are prisons.
A cage fight.
The two sides just want a needle to pierce the mirror of the other's state of mind.
Today's four great masters, apart from the two who are fighting each other, the Confucian saint Cao Changqing used the kingly way to become domineering, which is clearly the way of death. With the four chairs placed at the top of the martial arts, Cao Changqing stood up and left his seat, then Only Deng Tai'a, the leader of swordsmanship, is left. Who can win tonight is not just a matter of life and death between the two of them, but can also rob each other's realm to a large extent. If you make a move, you will undoubtedly take the lead. So it can be said that the battle tonight can almost determine who will be the well-deserved No. 1 person in the world in the future.
At this moment, the two turned their heads sideways. It seemed that Tuoba Bodhisattva's fist was resting on his left shoulder, and Xu Fengnian's cold knife seemed to be picked up by Tuoba Bodhisattva's shoulder. Xu Fengnian's hair on his temples didn't move at all, and the cold knife in his hand seemed to have touched the tip of the wall, but in fact it didn't penetrate the wall at all.
The next moment, Tuoba Bodhisattva hit Xu Fengnian's abdomen with a knee, and Xu Fengnian also punched Tuoba Bodhisattva in the heart. , at the moment when his back was about to lean against the wall, he stopped the tendency to retreat. Xu Fengnian flicked his wrist while holding the knife, and it was exactly the same, never touching the wall. Tuoba Bodhisattva waved out one hand, and waved it to Xu Fengnian's side.
At the same time, Xu Fengnian slapped Tuoba Bodhisattva on one side of the face.
After the two fell together, they stood still, Xu Fengnian twitched the corners of his mouth, Tuoba Bodhisattva was expressionless, but the mark on his face that was slapped by the knife was clearly visible.
Li Mibi wanted him to die.
Tuoba Bodhisattva wanted him to lose before he died.
Just as the girl guessed intuitively, Xu Fengnian was lying. The intelligence received from Liu Nianfeng at that time was not good news that Xu Yanbing would arrive soon at all, but only entered the territory of Xishu after the imperial decree allowing 10,000 Shu soldiers to leave the country to counter the rebellion. Fang already confirmed that Chen Zhibao and Xie Guanying had quietly appeared in the Qingzhou navy. This is the secret information sent by Shu Shu, who followed King Jing'an Zhao Xun. This means that Chen Zhibao will have a direct impact on the Guangling River battle before leading the Shu soldiers to join the battlefield. At such a time, the situation of the entire Western Chu country will be completely different if there is Jiang Ni who is lucky enough to sit in the army.
Xu Fengnian had been lying to her except for the early stage of fleeing when he was sober. A monk with chicken soup presented him with the Buddha bowl that absorbs energy. Without this secret report, Xu Fengnian would continue to deceive, pretending to be half dead, pretending to need her to carry him all the way to escape, wandering together, pretending that without her, he would not be able to survive the pursuit of Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi for half a moment. And that little clay figurine, who has never been smart, was indeed kept in the dark, no matter why he escaped the interception every time without any danger, why he could see through Li Mibi's killer move just right every time, and pointed out , and every time she commented on the gains and losses afterwards, a few words could make her improve by leaps and bounds in her kendo attainments.
He originally wanted to fight with Tuoba Bodhisattva in Snow Lotus City. Apart from allowing her to watch the battle to gain benefits, it was more like fulfilling his childhood wish and proving something to her.
What? You said I would only bully you? How can it be! As long as I really want to practice martial arts, don't talk about the top ten masters, even Wang Xianzhi dare not claim to be number one in the world.
At that time, when we parted outside the city and he could give away the snow lotus, he boasted, "This is a reward from the best expert in the world".
On the tall building in the distance, Li Mibi's mood changed from being relaxed at the beginning to seriousness bit by bit.
He glanced at the sky, it was almost dawn.
For three full hours, the two in the alley still couldn't tell the difference!
It wasn't that Li Mibi didn't want to intervene, didn't want to take advantage of the fire, even if he annoyed the king of the North Courtyard, as long as Li Mibi could kill Xu Fengnian, he didn't care about Tuoba Bodhisattva's opinion at all. But Li Mibi left the tall building and approached the alley several times, but he didn't find any flaws. After repeating this several times without success, Li Mibi had no choice but to stand on the roof of the building patiently, looking at a place dozens of miles away from the city several times, feeling even more worried. He was able to capture that sword energy within three hundred miles at first, but after half a decade, it could only be shortened to within two hundred miles, and it was only a hundred miles before reaching Snow Lotus City. Now it's only fifty miles away, and it's all blurred.
It seems that a female sword fairy will really appear in the world soon.
Li Mibi continued to wait.
When the sky is slightly bright, the sky and the earth are gradually turning blue and white.
Li Mibi sighed regretfully, flew downstairs and landed at the end of the alley.
Xu Fengnian and Tuoba Bodhisattva just opened the distance again. Xu Fengnian knelt down on one knee, and the cold knife drew a long groove on the ground in front of him. Tuoba Bodhisattva was also uncomfortable, so he just sat on the ground, gasping for breath for the first time.
Li Mibi stood not far from Tuoba Bodhisattva and did not speak.
Tuoba Bodhisattva sighed softly, stood up, and said calmly: "It's meaningless, let's go."
Li Mibi nodded. No matter how much time is spent, when Xu Yanbing arrives, he will be reduced to a situation where people are caught in a urn.
Before turning around, Tuoba Bodhisattva looked at the young man who had also stood up, and said with a smile, "Even if Beiliang Iron Cavalry dies completely, no matter how poor you are, as long as you Xu Fengnian speaks, I can be alone with you." war!"
Xu Fengnian stood with the saber in hand, silent.
When Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi left the city and returned to the north, there was also a purple rainbow outside the city, and after a while, it went east.
After the battle, the cold knife in Xu Fengnian's hand was overwhelmed and broke in two. After bending down to pick up the severed knife, he put it into the scabbard first.
After going straight north of Xuelian City for more than 30 li, the two turned to the west, Li Mibi finally spoke, shook his head and said with a smile: "This King of Beiliang is young, but he has a deep mind."
Tuoba Bodhisattva asked suddenly: "Do you know why you didn't fight for your life last night, sir, but only fought with him for the state of mind?"
Li Mibi thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out, or he didn't want to believe the truth.
Tuoba Bodhisattva smiled and said: "Turn your energy into a strength cultivation that has nothing to do with the realm. Xu Fengnian in Baoshan can squander it at any time, but he is still very measured, and he can only guarantee that he will not die. Xu Fengnian in the alley The knife at the beginning was to tell me this fact, so that we don't push people too hard. If it's just a matter of fighting for energy consumption, not only will Xu Fengnian not lose, but between you and me, maybe one of you will be left behind. It's just that he probably wants to leave more of his family property to his crumbling Beiliang."
Li Mibi sighed and said: "The number of qi, the number of qi in Beiliang."
Tuoba Bodhisattva said in a deep voice: "I will not go to Liuzhou, I will go back to the Southern Dynasty with my husband, and remind His Majesty and the Taiping Order."
Li Mibi suddenly sneered angrily and said, "It is always said that my Beimang Jianghu is not a real Jianghu, so Xu Fengnian, as the leading master in Liyang, is so uncomfortable even in a fight, how did he act chicly?! Cao Changqing, Gu Jiantang and others The same is true, the only Deng Tai'a left is worthy of the name."
Tuoba Bodhisattva's expression remained unchanged, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood flowing from his nose, and said calmly: "Poor people have their own hateful things, and ridiculous people have their own respectable things. So I hope Xu Fengnian will die by my hands, not like Xi The Sword Emperor of Shu died under the hooves of the rebellious army like that."
…
In Xuelian City, a young man with a knife stood in front of a small shop selling meat and naan, with a sad face.
The shopkeeper waited for a long time but didn't see this guy take out his money bag, rolled his eyes, and as time passed, he didn't pay attention to this shy poor man. What's the matter, I'm a big man, not those young and foolish girls and women who are like wolf and tiger. Do you think that you can eat for nothing if you look like a dog? With a knife on your waist, you are a hero? Who are you scaring! But not long after, the daughter-in-law and daughter who came to the shop to help, wanted to say nothing and peeked at the young man more shyly, which gave the man who sold the meat pan a headache and a toothache, and was about to get the smallest one. The meat naan sent this guy away, so that he could go away quickly, but his shameless prodigal woman had already given her daughter two pieces of meat naan with the most diced mutton, and winked, and then her daughter didn't bother. Shaking his waist shyly, he stood in front of the young bastard, timidly handed out the meat naan, and said with a smile that he would not accept copper coins. The man turned his head fiercely, out of sight and out of mind. Damn, I was much more handsome than you when I was young, okay? Just as the young man stretched out his hand to pick up the meat pan with a bright smile, an angry voice sounded beside him, "Do you want to be ashamed?!"
Then she glared at the shop girl, "How much?"
The girl replied in astonishment: "One mutton naan is six cash, and two are five cash."
She turned around, turned her back to the young man, and carefully took out a handful of about seven or eight Xiangfu Tongbao from a beautiful money bag. The tongbao issued during the Xiangfu period are all new coins, and they are not comparable to the "famous springs" of the former dynasty that are available for collection. , and was reluctant to take out the ten-cent copper coin, because there were only two of them in her purse, and they were in pairs, so it was not good to take them apart. In the end, she had no choice but to frown, and handed the girl a Koizumi and two coins for two cents, which was exactly five cents, to buy two mutton pancakes. The tangled look on her face was like watching her daughter get married with her own eyes. The girls and women in the shop couldn't laugh or cry. It was only five cents. Is it so hard to give up
The young man stopped her and said with a soft smile, "Okay, okay, you don't need to spend money, just put it away."
The young man with the knife turned his head and looked into the distance, beckoned, and soon a burly man with an awe-inspiring expression came running quickly, and the young man asked, "Do you have any silver on you?"
That person can be regarded as one of the few first-class masters in Xuelian City, facing this person, he still nodded tremblingly, took out all the money on his body, and wished to surrender his life in a respectful posture.
The young man only wanted a piece of silver, and gave it to the girl, took the bread, and smiled, "You don't need to look for it."
Jiao Didi, a girl whose heart was swayed by that smiling face, said, "Thank you, Young Master."
And she beside him turned her head away, and after putting back the copper coin, her lips moved slightly, her face full of disdain, and the shape of her mouth should be the words "Xie Gongzi".
The young man smiled and gave her a piece of freshly baked fragrant meat naan, and then said: "I won't see you off, remember not to leave the city with your sword, it's scary in broad daylight."
The young woman with the purple box on her back turned around and walked straight to the city gate with the meat naan.
He waited until her figure slowly disappeared from his eyes, and then went against her.
That burly man, the dead man in Fushuifang who was Mrs. Song's personal entourage in Xuehe Tower, kept his eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, not daring to look at them more.
He lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite on the meat naan.
The meat naan was covered with scarlet blood.
…
In the distance, above the clouds as high as nine days, the sun is shining, and the woman in fluttering clothes is standing on top of the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow, walking against the wind.
Bathed in gold, she held a copper coin with her two fingers, held it above her head, and stared at it.
He lied to her, she knew it.
She was suddenly a little annoyed, and she suddenly raised her sword, and said angrily, "I should get back some copper coins!"
