Chapter XXXIII
With the end of the trial in the Sword Qi Square, the ranking of the stone plaques was replaced, and Xia Ruoshui's name appeared in the second position, which caused a lot of fluctuations in Zhaoyang City.
The genius girl who was expelled from the national capital for some reason three years ago reappeared in the eyes of everyone, and the young man who carved the name of the dog after the girl also entered everyone's field of vision.
......
Wu Jian Chi, Sword Shrine.
Xia Hanqing closed his eyes and sat under a bluestone sword, the sky flow was inserted in front of the bluestone, the bluestone sword was about five meters high, the lines on it looked very simple, and there were some cracks on the sword, which looked very old.
Behind Xia Hanqing, Wu Hao learned everything that happened in the Sword Qi Square, and began to chatter, "Sister Ruoshui is really good, the one who almost caught up with Canglong." It's just that pure Wind Shadow Sword Qi, how did I do it? Even the Flawless Sword Qi I was pursuing couldn't be so pure. ”
Xia Hanqing didn't move, as if he hadn't heard Wu Hao's words.
As if he wanted to attract Xia Hanqing's attention, Wu Hao raised his voice and said to the back of the sitting cross-legged: "Hey, aren't you interested in that pure wind shadow sword qi?"
As the words fell, Wu Hao's side suddenly blew a strong wind and blew past him.
The heavenly stream in front of the bluestone sword was swept out by a wave of wind and fell into Xia Hanqing's hands.
"Everyone has their own perceptions and opportunities, and she can be regarded as a big fish if she can reach this step. Xia Hanqing opened his eyes, put away the Tianliu in his hand, and turned around and said, "It's just that if she does this, the next trial will only be more difficult." ”
"I don't think that Sister Ruoshui has a master by her side. Judging from the information he got, Wu Hao felt that Qi Yu was a master.
Xia Hanqing sneered and shook his head, "What about the master, it's just a comprehension realm, and it's not an obstacle after all." ”
"Is it an obstacle, you have to try it to know, don't you?" Wu Hao smiled, being able to win the top three positions in the sword qi trial, how could ordinary people do it.
Xia Hanqing said in a deep voice: "The next trial, then let Wu gradually give it a try." ”
Wu Gradually?
Wu Hao didn't expect Xia Hanqing to actually plan to let Wu gradually give it a try, Wu Yan is the person of the "Young Dragon List", and the "Young Dragon List" is the same as the "Instrument List" and "Stunt List", and the Canglong National List will rank the young talents younger than thirty years old in the five countries according to the strength of Heavenly Dao cultivation, a total of one hundred places, and the people who can enter the list are all the top young powerhouses in various countries.
As a disciple of Wu Jianchi, Wu Jian's cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Thorough Realm, and he has learned the two moves of Wuji and Wujian in the Flawless Sword Technique, ranking eighty-ninth on the "Young Dragon List", although he is ranked low on the list, but even those ordinary middle stages of the Thorough Realm are not Wu Jian's opponents.
Wu Hao's face was solemn, and he nodded after all, "Then let him try." ”
......
Qianfeng Mansion, Qi Yu, who had finished eating a delicious meal, walked into the courtyard where he often practiced swords, looked at the thick trees on the side, and felt that something was missing in his hands.
Qi Yu looked up, there was a branch on the tree that was not big or small, and compared it with his hand, about the same length as the wooden sword, straightened his hand, pressed one end on the root of the branch, and pointed to the middle of the branch at the other end.
"Do you want to break a branch as a sword again?" Xia Ruoshui looked at the hands that were about to break off the branches.
Qi Yu withdrew his hand, scratched his head and said, "Xiaocui won't let me cut down trees to make swords, so I can only use branches as swords." ”
Xia Ruoshui covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "The trees here are all planted by Xiaocui, of course, I won't let you use them to make wooden swords." ”
When Qi Yu heard this, he pointed to the flowers and plants on the ground and asked, "Where are these flowers and plants?"
Xia Ruoshui looked at the flowers and plants, remembered that Qi Yu had said that plants, trees, bamboos and stones can all be swords, understood Qi Yu's thoughts, and shook his head.
Qi Yu lowered his hands and completely broke his thoughts.
Xia Ruoshui noticed the movement of Qi Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Then I'll give you a sword, do you want it?"
Qi Yu didn't refuse this time, and calmly agreed, "Hmm." ”
"Then it's settled. Seeing Qi Yu agree, Xia Ruoshui was also happy in his heart.
Xiao Cui happened to come to the courtyard and heard that Xia Ruoshui was going to give a sword, and said, "Princess Ruoshui, I just heard that there is a sword in Wanbao Pavilion that is going to be auctioned, why don't you go and have a look?"
"Well, if it's really a good sword, you must shoot it. ”
Wanbao Pavilion is the best trading house in Zhaoyang City, and general items cannot be auctioned, and only high-quality products can be included in the auction scope of Wanbao Pavilion, so Xia Ruoshui agreed without hesitation.
Xia Ruoshui made a decision and asked, "When will the auction start?"
Xiao Cui thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow......" Xia Ruoshui didn't expect the time to be so tight, and then ordered Qi Yu, "You will rest early today, and tomorrow I will take you to Wanbao Pavilion to choose a sword." ”
Qi Yu was speechless, just silently wrote down Xia Ruoshui's instructions, watched the backs of Xiaocui and Xia Ruoshui leaving in the courtyard, and then returned to his room.
The trial in the Sword Qi Square gave Qi Yu a new understanding of his sword qi mastery, and he, like Xia Ruoshui, felt that the closer to the height of the first, the greater the resistance.
But unlike Xia Ruoshui, he thought that he was a sword, and the branches in his hand were broken before, so he could only use his own strength to condense the sword qi, after all, it was not a real sword, and in the end it was still inferior to Xia Ruoshui, if there was a sword in his hand, he felt that there should be hope to sprint to a height of eighty meters.
Qi Yu didn't think much about it, and then took out a piece of paper from the table, wrote the eight characters Wu Jianchi and Zhencang Zhujun, and drew two forks, like a grudge.
After doing this, Qi Yufang put down the pen and paper and began to sleep.
The next day, Qi Yu followed Xia Ruoshui and Xiaocui, and a group of three people headed towards Wanbao Pavilion.
It's just that Qi Yu, as a personal guard, once again played the role of a groom.
After leaving the Thousand Winds Mansion, after driving for almost an hour, Qi Yu and his party finally reached the Wanbao Pavilion.
The three of them dismounted and walked to the door of Wanbao Pavilion, but were stopped by two guards at the door.
"There is a major auction in Wanbao Pavilion today, and you need an invitation to enter, I wonder if you have an invitation?"
Invitations?
Xiao Cui frowned, of course they didn't have this thing, so naturally they couldn't take it.
When Xia Ruoshui heard this, she asked softly, "How did you get this invitation?"
Seeing Xia Ruoshui asking, the guards looked at Xia Ruoshui, and their hearts couldn't help but rise and fall slightly.
What a beautiful woman!
He has been a guard in the Wanbao Pavilion for many years, and he has seen many beautiful women, including rich and powerful ladies in the city, or famous ladies.
But compared with the person in front of him, the temperament is not much worse, Xia Ruoshui's temperament is noble and elegant, as if he was innate, and it doesn't seem to be deliberately felt by the ladies and ladies of those rich families.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
The other guard coughed dryly, and the guard who looked at Xia Ruoshui came back to his senses and said, "This young lady, I'm sorry, this invitation was issued by the elders in the pavilion to some big forces in the city, because this auction has valuables, and naturally not ordinary people can bid for it." ”
"If you don't have an invitation, please take someone away. ”
Listening to the guard's explanation, Xia Ruoshui could understand it, after all, it was the rules of Wanbao Pavilion, and he could only abide by it.
It seems that he can only choose a sword for Qi Yu in another place.
Xia Ruoshui was about to give up this auction and was considering another place when a burst of footsteps came.
A young man with a spear in his hand and a somewhat amorous look like he looked, followed by two middle-aged men, who also held two spears in their hands and walked towards Wanbao Pavilion.
The guards looked at it and directly recognized the identities of these three people.
The young one is Zhao Xiao, the young gang leader of the Silver Spear Gang, and the two behind him are the two elders of the Silver Spear Gang, Huangfu Tie Niu and Luo Ding!
Luo Ding saw the three people standing at the door of Wanbao Pavilion, and shouted: "Idle people, please leave quickly, don't block the way of my Silver Gun Gang." ”
Luo Ding's shout reached the ears of Xiao Cui and the others, Xiao Cui took the lead in turning around, looked at the spears in the hands of these people and said, "A silver gun gang dares to be so arrogant?"
Luo Ding snorted coldly: "I am arrogant and have my own arrogant capital, and I am not like some people, I don't even have the qualifications to enter the pavilion, if I am not qualified, don't stand in the way and miss our time." ”
Seeing that Xiaocui and Luo Ding were arguing, Xia Ruoshui turned around, this silver spear helped her know a thing or two, and it was also a big force in the city, but she had always acted low-key and peaceful, how could she ever be so arrogant.
Xia Ruoshui said: "I see that you are acting arrogantly, not like the style of the Silver Gun Gang, I want to see if you are pretending." ”
"Hahaha, pretending to be Lao Tzu Luo Ding, like a fake Silver Spear Gang Elder. Luo Ding laughed, then patted his chest, and exclaimed, "What? Do you want to try my silver spear, and see how long you can last under my silver spear." ”
"Phew. Hearing Luo Ding's wolf and tiger words, he broke a mouthful of spittle, extremely disdainful.
Zhao Xiao, the young man standing in front of Luo Ding, was stunned when he saw it, attracted by Xia Ruoshui's appearance, and looked at Xia Ruoshui's eyes full of possessiveness.
Zhao Xiao arched his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Elder Luo Ding acts like this, his temper dictates, don't be surprised." ”
"I think the girl is also here to participate in the auction, I also have some privileges in this Wanbao Pavilion, so it is better to go into the pavilion and have a look. ”
Sensing the non-divisive thought in Zhao Xiao's eyes, Xia Ruoshui politely refused, "No need, I don't have much interest in this auction, it doesn't matter if I participate or not." ”
Zhao Xiao was rejected, but he didn't want to let go of the beauty in front of him, noticed the sword in Xia Ruoshui's hand, thought about it for a while, and said: "I see that the girl is also a person who learns swords, it is said that today's auction will auction a good sword, the girl should not miss it." ”
"A good sword, how is it compared to a famous sword?" Xia Ruoshui asked rhetorically.
"It's not as good as a famous sword, but it's not far off. ”
Another wave of three people walked to Wanbao Pavilion, and the three people in this line were all wearing swords at their waists, wearing blue and white robes, and they looked like they were famous and decent.
Among the three people, there is an unusually beautiful man at the head, and there are two people standing on the left and right, obviously mainly bewitching men.
Zhao Xiao saw these three people, although he didn't know them, he also knew where these three people came from, the blue and white robes, the person with the sword, was the one who asked the sword faction.
The bewitching man took a step forward and continued to answer Xia Ruoshui's previous question, "Although the sword auctioned by Wanbao Pavilion this time is not as good as the sword in the girl's hand, it is not much worse. ”
After the bewitching man finished speaking, he threw a wink at Xia Ruoshui, and then smiled weirdly, which made Xia Ruoshui feel goosebumps, but soon returned to normal.
"That is, if you ask the sword sect to say, you can't fake it. Xia Ruoshui also recognized the three people wearing blue and white robes, but the movements of the bewitching man were really disgusting.
The bewitching man stared at Xia Ruoshui, looked at it, looked at it from the beginning to the end, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You don't have an invitation, do you want to go in with me." ”
Xia Ruoshui refused again, asking the sword faction and the Xia family's royal family The relationship is not bad, but because of the previous behavior of the bewitching man, Xia Ruoshui does not have much good impression and does not want to go with this man.
The corners of the bewitching man's mouth hooked up a touch, and then he winked mischievously at Xia Ruoshui, with a prank look, "Then I'll enter the pavilion first." ”
At the moment when he was about to enter the pavilion, the bewitching man turned around and let out another word that made Xia Ruoshui numb.
"Shuishui, I'll be waiting for you at the auction. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Xiao of the Silver Gun Gang almost couldn't hold back, which was too disgusting.
Although Xia Ruoshui also felt disgusting, that sentence reminded her of a person.
"Could it be her?"
