In the third year of Xiangfu, in the spring breeze full of peach blossoms, a middle-aged man rode an old donkey through the Jiange into Xishu. He pretended to be carrying a peach blossom. Passers-by, especially young people, inevitably smiled knowingly, yo, Another person from the rivers and lakes who admires the demeanor of the sword god Deng Tai'a. However, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Peach Blossom Sword God not only stands out among the flocks in the sword forest today, but also is the God of abundance Yulang himself.
The unattractive man leisurely rode a donkey to see the scenery of the Shu Kingdom, stopping and going, not in a hurry. The reason why he entered Sichuan was that he received a letter from his apprentice in a restaurant he was familiar with. The letter said that he fell in love with a woman and was almost ready to discuss marriage. matchmaker. The apprentice also reminded him many times in the letter that he must not go to Xishu when he is sloppy, not to mention helping the apprentice gain face. After all, people in Jianghu believe that if there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice. If the master is not good, the apprentice will be better. Where are you going? So master, you old man, you must clean yourself up clean and tidy, otherwise the girl's family may be worried about handing over the girl to him.
After receiving the letter, the man was not as careless as before. He really put his heart into it. He borrowed thirty taels of silver from the shopkeeper of the restaurant, bought two sets of brand new clothes, and then rushed west from the far southeast Jianzhou Shu. The letter was sent half a year ago. Fortunately, the apprentice knew that his master was wandering all year round, so he pushed the day to half a year later. At the end of the letter, he vowed that it would be okay if he read the letter late. The apprentice waited patiently for the master.
This man who has used swords and made swords but has never worn a sword, hesitated all the way whether to buy a sword to hang around his waist, because his apprentice said that the woman he liked was from a wealthy family in Xishu. From the master to the servants, all the disciples use swords, and even the names of the swords are very charming. The sword of the master is called Huozhu, and the famous sword enshrined by the chief is even the mandrill which is famous on the list of large instruments , even a few outside disciples who are familiar with each other, the name of the saber is more majestic than the other. The most important thing is Miss Qianjin, who is an old lady in the head, who is also the woman his apprentice has a crush on. Peach blossom, fate.
When the middle-aged man arrived in Yizhou, he asked for directions in the city and found the famous gang on the West Shu Road, Jianyu Building. It is said that every time there is a big event, more than 300 swordsmen in Jianyu Building will join hands to board the building. In the main building with a height of six floors, swords were thrown out of the building at the same time, and the swords fell like rain. Although Jian Yu
Lou is not well-known in the whole Liyang River and Lake, not as good as the Chuntie Thatched Cottage where a rouge appraiser thanked her, but it is indeed one of the top sects in the jurisdiction of Xishu. Back in the day, the Sword Emperor of Xishu, who later swore to defend the city gate for the country in front of the Xu family's iron cavalry, went up to the main building many times, and personally commented on the sword skills of the outstanding disciples in the Jianyu building. And in the highest first floor, there are also portraits of kendo masters established since the sect, in order to encourage the disciples in the sect to persevere in their swordsmanship. Among them is Liu Songtao, the great devil a hundred years ago. In the past ten years, portraits of Jian Jiuhuang, Song Nianqing, Qi Jiajie and Chai Qingshan have been hung up one after another. Of course, Li Chungang is a towering mountain that swordsmen in the world cannot avoid. Lou especially admired this Spring and Autumn Sword Armor, and hung his portrait in the center, juxtaposed with Lu Zu.
As soon as the Jianyulou concierge heard that the guest from afar was looking for that young man, the elderly concierge, who had been displeased with him riding a donkey and hanging peach branches, became more and more disliked. In the eyes of the old man, the young man was not bad, and his swordsmanship was mediocre, but his vision was not good. Poor, I was lucky enough to win the fight with the few people who worshiped on paper, but to marry the only daughter of the owner of the Jianyu Building, she has neither a prominent family background nor a solid cultivation base, it's not a dream. It's really not that the landlord deliberately made things difficult for that young man from a foreign country. The whole West Shu Road knows that their landlord has spoken a long time ago. He is just such a daughter. As long as he fails to enter the first-rank realm, no one can think of being his son-in-law.
After all, the old man is a kind-hearted person. He heard that the middle-aged man had walked thousands of miles, so he told the truth about the bamboo tube and poured beans, and also showed the middle-aged man the way, saying that the young man rented a small yard on the nearby street with shame Every now and then, I wander around the gate of Jianyu Tower. There was a rare light snowfall in Xishu at the end of last winter. The young man was sweeping the snow with a broom before dawn, but he was almost beaten. It’s snowing. , This is such a rare thing in Xishu, everyone can't wait for the snow to be like a mountain, but after being swept away by him, many disciples who rushed out to enjoy the snow in the street were completely dumbfounded, the whole street was so clean The concierge couldn't laugh or cry when he said this, and said angrily that if he didn't see that young man being stupid, at least he wouldn't be as slutty as an ordinary street ruffian, or else he would even want to beat him up.
The middle-aged man who came from afar listened to the old man's babbling, holding the donkey with one hand and rubbing his chin with the other, with a half-smile.
The old man at the porter finally thought of asking what the relationship between this man and that heartless young man was. The man said he was the master of that guy. .
As the sun set, the old man looked at the back of Yuan Qu, who was not riding a donkey, and his back gradually stretched on the street. The old man thought from the bottom of his heart that the pair of master and apprentice were weird, but after careful study, he couldn't tell what was so weird.
The middle-aged man led the old man who was reluctant to ride around, and finally found the shabby yard in a back alley. Standing at the door, he suddenly felt guilty. It turned out that the apprentice had followed him all these years and had never asked for anything. So nothing.
He knocked on the door, and a young man who was no longer suitable to be called a teenager walked out quickly, and was full of surprise when he saw the familiar face of Master. The middle-aged man was about to speak with a smile, but the apprentice had already walked around him and hugged the old donkey's head, which hurt the self-confident middle-aged man a little.
Only then did the middle-aged man discover that besides his apprentice, there was a girl in a wooden hairpin cloth skirt, who was watering a small tree at the root of the wall in the yard with a water ladle. Seeing the middle-aged man, he smiled shyly, Some at a loss.
The apprentice recounted the past with the old donkey who had lived with him for many years, and introduced to the master carelessly: "Master, this is Ah Cao, my neighbor here, she found and planted this peach blossom, and Ah Cao's parents are also very good." They got along with each other, and their family opened a small porridge shop on the other side of the street. Ah Cao usually sells flowers, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, and orchids in the downtown area of the city. Master, if you go to Ah Cao’s house, you can smell it The courtyard is full of flowers... ”
The middle-aged man listened to the apprentice's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and felt relieved for no reason. No wonder that after the separation, he walked alone in the rivers and lakes for a year, and always felt that something was missing. got used to.
He took a few more glances at the skinny poor girl, her back was facing the master and apprentice, her ears were red.
He smiled, turned around and asked, "Master called you here too, when will you come to the door?"
The apprentice suddenly looked gloomy, and his smile was far-fetched, "Master, I'm sorry, I may have let you go for nothing."
He frowned and said softly, "What's going on?"
The apprentice scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "That's all, Master, don't ask any more questions."
He smiled and asked: "The woman's parents, listen to the master of Yulou to beat mandarin ducks with a stick? I despise you as a knight-errant, so you bully others?"
Unexpectedly, the apprentice shook his head, "The landlord of Tingyulou is not the only one who looks down on me, he is infatuated with swords, he is a chivalrous man, and he is well-known in the martial arts of the Western Shu Road. In his eyes, he is only a second-rank young master. , is his daughter’s good match. Even the woman’s mother and brothers were a little unreasonable, said some nasty things, and did some things... In short, they just don’t want me to stay in this city.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you are afraid?"
The apprentice hastily said: "It's impossible, it's just that later that woman has her own heart, so I can't pester her with shame. I still understand the principle that a man and a woman should be sympathetic to each other."
The wooden hairpin girl plucked up her courage and said, "Those people once took..."
The young man hurriedly stopped the girl's "complaint", the middle-aged man's face was normal, but he held his apprentice's arm for a moment, "The words were short of breath, I thought it was because you were dissatisfied in Xishu, but it turned out that you had suffered an internal injury , Four months ago, someone stabbed your three acupoints Tanzhong, Juque, and Qihai with a sword. Xishu Road can be regarded as a well-known figure in Jianghu for a long time, tell him his name and let Master reason with him."
The young man shook his head and said, "Master, let's forget it. I wanted to leave here a long time ago, but... I was afraid that Master would not find me in Xishu, so I didn't leave."
After hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man who didn't look angry suddenly became gloomy for some reason, as if he had been touched by the scales. The middle-aged man who had always spoken calmly raised his voice slightly, a little bit of blame It means: "You didn't tell them, what is your master's last name?!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "At that time, the other party came to the door aggressively and beat them to death. The apprentice accidentally forgot."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "I don't think you want to say it?"
The young man smiled naively: "It's embarrassing to say it out. It's useless to let people know that you have found such a worthless apprentice, Master. Besides, I'm really ashamed to report your name. Who will believe it?"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
As an abandoned child, he lost shelter since he was a child. When he was young, he lived alone in the ghostly sword mountain. It can be said that he has gone through extreme hardships. It seems that since he has chosen to enter the arena, life and death are life and death. When encountering injustices and being unable to complain about injustices, there is no room for complaining. If you want to hate, you will hate yourself for being inferior to others.
That's why Emperor Wucheng Wang Xianzhi made that sharp comment: This man's sword heart is innocent, and he is most in line with the way of heaven, so it doesn't matter if he has a sword or not.
He suddenly remembered a lot of past events. This apprentice always disliked him as a master. He didn't have the demeanor of a master when he walked the rivers and lakes, and he didn't have the demeanor of a god. Wishing that the whole Liyang would know that his master is the well-deserved number one person in the world.
However, that young man never seemed to have thought about letting the world know that his master actually accepted an apprentice, and never thought about letting the world know the name of that person's apprentice.
In the entire rivers and lakes, no one knew the name of the boy leading the donkey, not even the last name of the apprentice of the Peach Blossom Sword God.
Since he accepted this apprentice, the two of them have been walking together in the rivers and lakes. If there is any injustice on the road, they will have to take action under the burden of the apprentice.
Every time he saved someone, he would leave impatiently, and the apprentice would dawdle and laugh at the person he saved, "My master is Deng Tai'a, the Peach Blossom Sword God, don't forget it!"
Your master is Deng Tai'a, the Peach Blossom Sword God.
Then who is my Deng Tai's apprentice
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, looked at the young face that had already grown some green stubble, then turned to look at the flower girl, and said with a smile: "Little girl, my name is Deng Tai'a, my The apprentice's name is Li Huainian."
The confused girl blushed and said, "Uncle Deng, I know Brother Li's name."
Deng Tai'a asked himself, and said sadly in a voice that he could only hear: "But this son of a bitch doesn't know."
In the twilight of that day, Deng Tai'a and his apprentice Li Huainian went to the girl A Cao's house as guests. Deng Tai'a even took the initiative to choose a few gifts under the shocking eyes of his apprentice. They were not too expensive, but in the eyes of the small family It can be regarded as a face-saving item, which made the girl's parents smile, especially after hearing that this man is the only elder in the world, they laughed from ear to ear, and the girl became more and more shy. The apprentice was a bit late, but after comprehending the meaning, thinking about the half a year of getting along, he also felt that it was a matter of course, and he didn't think that the master was messing up. Deng Tai'er, who rarely drank alcohol, and Ah Cao's father each drank more than two catties. Deng Tai'er simply put the words aside, saying frankly that he is a good-natured apprentice. He is a young man who wants to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes. He is a young man who can live a stable life. The girl's parents, who were still a little worried before, were completely relieved after hearing this.
That night, Deng Tai'a reeked of alcohol and walked slowly in the alley with his apprentice Li Huainian.
Deng Tai'a suddenly said: "When you buy a pig, you look at the ring, when you marry a wife, you look at your mother. From what you say, the woman in Yulou is obviously not suitable for you, but Ah Cao is a woman who can live with you."
Li Huai Nian chuckled.
Deng Tai'a patted his apprentice on the shoulder, and said for no reason, "Master has never done anything for you in this life..."
Li Huainian hesitated to speak, Deng Tai'a waved his hand, interrupted what the apprentice wanted to say, and continued: "It's your business whether you want it or not, Master doesn't care, since you are probably going to settle down in Xishu now Well, then Master will always try to keep this place from being in a state of chaos, and Master wants to go to Beiliang, so don't worry, in today's world, no matter if it is Liyang Tai'an City or Liangmang Border Pass, as long as Master himself If you want to leave, no one can stop Master."
The young man whispered: "Master, if you start a family and start a career, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to venture into the rivers and lakes with you in the future."
Deng Tai'a said with a smile: "In the future, if there is nothing to do, I will often come to Xishu to see you."
The young man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, I am not someone like Xu Fengnian. I am sorry that I failed to give Master a disciple who would not disgrace your reputation."
Deng Tai'a shook his head seriously and said: "You are wrong, having you as an apprentice is already the best."
It is of course very good that there are romantic figures like Cao Changqing and Xu Fengnian in Liyang Jianghu.
But it is best for me, Deng Tai'a, to have an apprentice like you.
If someone in the world wants you to have a bad life, it's very simple, first ask me, the master, whether you agree or not.
In Yizhou in Western Shu, the peach blossoms in the city are still smiling in the spring breeze.
The unremarkable middle-aged man went and returned, without a donkey or a sword, and came to the gate of Jianyu Tower.
On this day, Jianyu Tower happened to have a banquet, and Master Yizhou Biejia personally brought his beloved son to visit, in order to hope that the two families could get married.
In order to show the solemnity of Jianyu Tower, Lou advocated that Yun called his disciples to climb up the main building together, and they took off their swords one after another, and there were as many falling swords as rain flowers. Eye-opening.
The whole city of Yizhou knows that Mr. Biejia has attached himself to the king of Shu in white. Biejia's position is equivalent to a small governor, and now he has already emptied the governor who was born in a local force, and he is the number one civil servant in Yizhou. It must be only a matter of time.
That's why the ranger who caused all the troubles in the city before became an obstacle to this match made in heaven in Yizhou. No one thought it was empathy for Zhang Yun's beloved only daughter to be with Biejia's son. The last one is the outlander ranger who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and the young man lost his mind and went crazy, the toad wants to eat swan meat.
When the middle-aged man came to the gate square of Jianyu Tower, he saw Lou Zhangyun walking quickly with his wife and children, walking towards the group of Yizhou dignitaries and officials. Beside the handsome young master in brocade clothes, his smile was like a flower.
And when the big event was held in Jianyu Tower, a young man was accompanying the girl through the streets, loudly selling apricot and peach blossoms, and each flower only earned a penny.
The middle-aged man remembered the end of the conversation between the master and the apprentice last night in the small courtyard. The apprentice told him not to care about anything with Jianyulou, and he nodded in agreement. The apprentice couldn't believe it, so he repeated it again. He smiled and said that the apprentice was so easy to talk, how could he be a master.
In fact, Deng Tai'a still had a few words to say. He, as a master, had never had a good conversation with anyone.
So having such a meddling and soft-hearted apprentice like him is the biggest trouble and also the biggest pride for Deng Tai'a in his life besides his success in sword practice.
Deng Tai'a smiled to himself, and just now he was stopped by the old porter, and when he heard that he was going to ask the sword behind the Jianyu Tower, he had a funny and annoyed expression on his face, and asked him since he was fighting with a sword, how can you What about the sword.
Deng Tai'a didn't answer anything, his figure disappeared in a flash and came to Jianyu Building.
Deng Tai'a looked up at the main building. There was a golden plaque "The First Sword Rain in the World" written by the Sword Emperor of Xishu in his early years. The plaque was shining brightly under the sunshine in spring.
The person who first noticed the sudden appearance of this middle-aged man in Jianyu Tower was not Zhang Yun, the master of swordsmanship who was praised as the "Three Qi Tongxuan" by the martial arts of Western Shu, nor the few elders who worshiped with outstanding swordsmanship, but a few people who were bored looking around. As a foil to my disciples, most of these people have charming thoughts about the daughter of the landlord, but they know that there is a world of difference, and they are even more ashamed of the son of Yizhou Biejia. The troublesome attitude, and then saw the coarse sackcloth man who had no saber and no imposing manner at all. It's just that they didn't pay attention to it. You must know that although Xishu Jianyulou is compared with the famous sects such as Dongyue Jianchi and Nanjiang Dragon Palace, it is after all the leader in a state, and Lou Zhangyun is even more famous. Ranked among the top ten masters of Western Shu, when he was young, he was a talented swordsman who was favored by Xie Lingzhen, the previous owner of Chuntie Thatched Cottage. Yun is one of the few people most likely to enter that legendary realm.
Second-rank junior master, although he brought a small letter, it is enough to establish a sect in the first-rank state of Liyang. Those gods and figures in the first-rank realm often see their heads and tails, and are too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. It is even more difficult for ordinary martial arts people to get close, so The real Liyang Jianghu, the most beautiful character, is a martial arts master like Zhang Yun who can be seen and touched, a master of the rivers and lakes who can show his face every now and then, is he bragging that he is with those great masters of martial arts? If you have had a drink at the table, no one will believe you even if you brag about it. Because Zhang Yun and his ilk not only have a really high level of cultivation, but they are also popular and down-to-earth in their work. If one is lucky enough to have a relationship with the famous owner of Jianyu Tower, then it will surprise people. Will be dubious.
A loud bang made Jian Yu's heart tremble up and down.
The plaque bestowed by the old Xishu Emperor himself split into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, feeling incredible, the plaque with a prominent history was made of first-class nanmu, it would never be so unbearable to the wind and sun, moreover, the plaque had only been hung for more than 30 years, how could it be broken like a sword
Everyone looked around, and finally focused on the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. Even Zhang Yun, the second-rank master, couldn't see any clues. Could this man be the culprit who destroyed the priceless plaque
Jianyu Loulou advocated that Yun was one of the few famous masters in Western Shu, and he was an experienced old Jianghu. He thought that even if he held a sword, he would not be able to split a plaque with sword energy from three or four hundred steps away.
Such a person came here, no matter how domineering his posture, it was still not something that could be easily settled by a large number of people in Jianyu Building.
The reason why the Wu Family Sword Tomb has been ranked among the top three sects of Jianghu sect for hundreds of years and has not lost its momentum is that it is said that even a child in the sword tomb can control the sword like a butterfly, which in itself means that the birth of sword energy It's not easy.
How can a sword energy directly split such a huge plaque without reducing its power after sweeping through the air for hundreds of steps
A priest hurried away on the spot, stood at the door of the main building and looked carefully, then returned to Zhang Yun's side, his face pale, whispering.
Zhang Yun suddenly felt struck by lightning.
It was caused by sword energy.
And after the sword energy broke through the plaque, even the main building was also split open.
There is a saying in the Liyang rivers and lakes that Su Mao, a relative of the emperor from Xishu, died in battle outside the gate of the imperial city, and Huang Zhentu died at the head of the East Sea city. There are no more swordsmen who can fight.
This also revealed a bit of the current predicament of the Western Shu Wulin.
Especially after Chuntie Cottage Xie Lingzhen died suddenly in Kuaixue Mountain Villa for no reason, the successor Rouge commented on beauty Xie Xie who only amazed the world with his appearance, but did not convince people with his martial arts practice, so it gave people a feeling that there is no master in the middle of Sichuan view.
The middle-aged man walked forward slowly, stopped thirty or forty steps away from Zhang Yun, and finally said: "The truth, my apprentice has already said it, if you don't listen, then I don't have to reason with you today gone."
Zhang Yun wants to cry but has no tears, how do I know who your apprentice is? You are a disciple of a great master of swordsmanship, it is too late for us to enshrine him as a Bodhisattva in Jianyu Tower, how can you reason with us and not listen
Zhang Yun's thoughts changed sharply. Seeing that this man was only about 30 or 40 years old, and he felt sorry for his family, Jianyulou, he probably wasn't from Xishu Jianghu, otherwise he should sell Zhang Yun some face, but Jianyulou's The influence has always been limited to the territory of Western Shu, and the behavior of the disciples in the sect is quite restrained. There are very few enemies in the Jianghu who have formed a deadly knot. He had a big grievance with the sects of the Liyang Jianghu. To be honest, if he really wants to provoke those top masters in Liyang, the disciples of Jianyulou must have that ability, right
At the same time, Zhang Yun was a little puzzled, the aura in front of him was not obvious, he had no aura at all, he didn't look like someone who made a move, could it be that there was a real expert in the dark
The middle-aged uncle glanced at the people in Jianyu Tower, and saw the young woman who was afraid of chaos in the world, and the woman who was half or seventy percent similar in appearance beside her, with a gloomy expression, seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, hesitating to Don't use the power of the government to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. Several Jianyulou worshipers are facing the enemy, obviously they know the importance of it better than women and Taoists. Some things can be suppressed by the government, but some things may not be suppressed.
Zhang Yun has an elegant appearance, and wears the famous sword and candle of the Western Shu on his waist. It is extremely rare to respect the etiquette of the juniors and say: "Dare to ask who the senior disciple is, if it is indeed my Jianyulou who offended the senior disciples, Zhang Yun will definitely Give seniors an explanation!"
The middle-aged man answered irrelevantly, looking at the group of people, "Who is the man holding the sword mandrill?"
Yizhou, who is in a high position and bloated, squinted his eyes, and said sinisterly: "Today is a good day for me and brother Zhang. I never thought that there would be people who would dare to do such a thing in Yizhou city. It really made me Got it!"
The Yizhou lieutenant general who holds thousands of troops in his hands sneered even more: "In the territory under the general's jurisdiction, there are still people from the Jianghu who dare to rely on military force to violate the ban?!"
Zhang Yun saw that the two powers in Yizhou, civil and military, had made such a clear statement, and he was determined, but he still wanted to calm things down. After saluting, he straightened his waist and stared at the uninvited guest in front of him, "Senior, is it Hu Dachun, the chief enshrinement of my Jianyu Building?" Misunderstanding with Gaotu?"
The middle-aged man neither paid attention to the two dignitaries in the Western Shu officialdom, nor paid any attention to the owner of the Jianyu Building who deliberately kept his head low. Instead, he looked at the swordsman who had gone to the main building to look at the plaque. He was dressed in white, with white hair and a white beard. , Even the scabbard is white, very fairy-like.
He asked: "It's you who sent three swords to my apprentice?"
This master of swordsmanship from Xishu, whose swordsmanship was no weaker than Zhang Yun's in Jianyu Building, looked calm, but he didn't answer, not sure if he was unwilling or not.
But after the middle-aged man asked this sentence, the faces of the mother, daughter and Mr. Junyi changed slightly, the woman's eyes became more stern, the young woman curled her lips, and the young man took a step back subconsciously.
The middle-aged man said flatly: "A sword for a sword."
The moment the white-haired priest holding the mandrill wanted to grab the hilt of the sword, his chest exploded and blood spattered everywhere.
It's just that after this silent "one sword" killed people, scarlet blood flowers still exploded at the two acupoints Juque and Qihai in front of Zhang Dachun at the same time.
Not to mention drawing the sword out of its sheath, Zhang Dachun, who didn't even hold the hilt, fell backwards.
One sword can kill, but three swords are three swords.
As for the middle-aged man in everyone's eyes, he always had his hands behind his back, and Zhang Yun was even more sure that this man had no energy at all.
Zhang Yun, who had cold hands and feet, couldn't care about his master's demeanor, raised his head and looked around, as if trying to find the peerless master hiding behind the scenes, with a bit of unconcealable panic in his words, "Junior Jianyulou Zhang Yun, please senior Come forward, this junior is willing to sincerely apologize!"
The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the two high-ranking Yizhou officials, "I don't know what kind of officials you are, but even if Chen Zhibao stands here today, he can't stop the person I want to kill. If you don't believe me, just lead the troops Come here, thousands or tens of thousands of people, I can wait for you. If you don’t go to recruit soldiers, I will kill you now. If you go to recruit soldiers, I will still kill you. Remember, don’t reason with me before you die .”
Of course, people in the world don't know that even Xie Guanying, who was behind the capture of Jiaolong for Shu King Chen Zhibao, killed him with a sword.
The woman said with a sneer: "What a big tone, even the King of Shu doesn't look down on me! My grandfather and the envoy of the Western Shu Road are best friends..."
The middle-aged man interrupted the woman's words, "Then even your grandfather and the Western Shu Taoist Jinglue envoy will be invited to Jianyu Tower, and I will wait. If I can't wait for them, I will go to the door and kill them."
The woman was about to say some harsh words, but her husband Zhang Yun, who didn't say a word of harsh words after she passed the door, yelled angrily: "Shut up, I!"
The trembling owner of the Jianyu Building looked at the middle-aged man, and asked with a bitter face, "Dare you ask if the senior is from the Wu Family Sword Tomb or the Dongyue Sword Pool?"
Still not seeing how the middle-aged man made a move, the dumbfounded Master Yizhou Biejia fell back and died on the spot.
The middle-aged man still had no ups and downs in his tone, "It has something to do with the Wu family, and has nothing to do with Dongyue Jianchi."
The deputy general of Yizhou said in horror: "You really killed Yizhou?!"
The middle-aged man said a joke that wasn't funny at all, "It's okay if you think it's fake, but remind me, if you don't recruit soldiers, you will die soon."
Then the military commander said an even bigger joke in a crying voice, and said tremblingly: "Hero, we have no grievances or enmity, hero... you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, this matter has nothing to do with me, I also No matter, hero, you can kill whoever you want in Yizhou, if you don't want to do it yourself, the general will help you kill, okay?"
The middle-aged man did not speak.
After he walked out of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, he actually didn't like that Jianghu very much, but his apprentice liked it very much these years, so he was willing to treat the Jianghu people with courtesy.
Therefore, among the four great masters of Wu Ping, Deng Tai'a, Cao Changqing of Western Chu, Xu Fengnian of Beiliang, and Tuoba Bodhisattva of Beimang, in fact, only Deng Tai'a is truly at ease.
So I don't care about the troubles the world makes for me, but if I, Deng Tai'a, want to make troubles for the world, no one can avoid it.
Therefore, Xie Guanying, who was at the top of the mainland pilgrimage list, hid thousands of miles from Tai'an City in the north to the coast of the South China Sea, but he still failed to escape death from his sword.
Just at this moment, two more Jianyulou priests who had only murderous intentions fell to the ground.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who still doesn't know his name, the bewildered Zhang Yun said with great sadness: "Senior, I, Zhang Yun, don't know what happened, but after Zhang Dachun, everyone is guilty of crimes worthy of death!"
The deputy general of Yizhou woke up suddenly, and ran away, thinking that the farther he could run after leaving Jianyu Building, the better. When he left Yizhou, no matter how much money he had to spend and how many connections he had, he had to go to the mansion of the King of Shu to take refuge.
The middle-aged man didn't even look at the embarrassing escape of the general in Sichuan, and glanced at the owner of Jianyulou, "I said, I came to your Jianyulou today for no reason."
The ashamed Zhang Yun asked: "Could it be that senior is not afraid of being an enemy of my Xishu Taoist government and the entire Xishu martial arts?"
The middle-aged man who killed people at will smiled and said, "If Chen Zhibao were here, he would definitely not say such things."
Zhang Yun gave a wry smile, and held the fire candle by the hilt, "Your junior knows that he is no match for senior, but whether it is for the reputation of Jianyu Tower for hundreds of years, or for the lives of his wife and children, he must dare to fight senior."
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I won't kill you today. My apprentice said that you, Zhang Yun, are a kind man and have a reputation as a hero. Based on this sentence, you don't have to die."
That Junyi brother knelt on the ground, crying loudly at the body of his father Yizhou Biejia, "You madman, why did you kill my father?! You must die!"
After Zhang Yun's daughter saw the miserable appearance of her beloved man, she was also pear blossoms with rain. She knelt down and wanted to comfort her, but was pushed away by the young man, "Go away, it's you, the loser, my father is He was killed by you! If you and your mother hadn't encouraged me, how could my son of Biejia be embarrassed by that unknown soldier repeatedly, and how could he personally ask Zhang Dachun to hurt someone with his official position?!"
If Zhang Yun was struck by lightning, he turned around with a blank expression, looked at his wife and daughter, and asked expressionlessly: "Tell me, what's going on? We've all come to this field, so at least I, Zhang Yun, should die clearly. "
The charming woman no longer had the slightest trace of her usual grace and demeanor, she looked ferocious and terrifying, and said sharply: "Zhang Yun! How do I know that poor boy's master is so powerful? If I want to blame, I can only blame that young man surnamed Li for pretending Playing stupid, if he hadn't deliberately concealed his identity to tease us in Jianyulou, how could I deliberately prevent him from marrying our daughter?! Haha, now I only regret that I didn't let that old bastard Zhang Dachun kill him with a sword!"
Looking at his crazy wife, Zhang Yun was unfamiliar and disgusted, and turned around again, "Senior, can I, Zhang Yun, exchange my death for a way out of no one in Jianyu Tower?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No."
Zhang Yun's lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.
The middle-aged man said again: "Don't worry, I only killed Zhang Dachun when I came here today, and now I just added the one on the ground, and the Yizhou lieutenant general who escaped from Jianyu Tower. As for the other dead people, since they wanted to kill me , then they have to pay the price for having the idea of killing themselves. Although in my opinion, your wife and daughter deserve to die, but my apprentice has never had such thoughts, and I will not make him feel guilty."
Zhang Yun couldn't understand this person's thoughts at all.
Just like when he was a child, every time he went up to the tower to look at the images of the sword immortals of the past dynasties, he never wondered why the same sword was in their hands, so they could fight bullfights angrily, and shake mountains with a single sword.
But the middle-aged man said again: "You Jianyulou will not open again from now on. What kind of sword is falling like rain is a spectacle. It is really an insult to the sword in your hands. I believe that any sword in the world can be as long as it is held in the real sword. In the hands of soldiers, they disdain to associate with other people's swords. This is true of Li Chungang's wooden horse and ox, and the same is true of ordinary swords in the world. Therefore, if the people painted by the hanging portraits on the top floor have spirits in the sky, they would have laughed to death long ago. Sword In the sheath, you only cry out for injustice, and when you take out the sword, you need to have a clear conscience, how can you use it to applaud outsiders to enjoy the scenery?"
Zhang Yun smiled miserably, his eyes became resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "What the senior said is very reasonable, but after all, the Jianyu Building is the work of my Zhang family ancestors for hundreds of years, so today Zhang Yun can die and the building will not survive. Zhang Yun can't live without the building alone!"
It was the first time that the middle-aged man looked at this person seriously.
Zhang Yun held the Huozhu sword tightly, and there were no distracting thoughts in his mind, "My Zhang family sword Yulou, Lu Zu once passed by on a crane, and there was a sword emperor
