Chapter Seventy-Nine: In the Sun, in the Courtyard
The black armor on the black-armored young man's body has traces of Taoism, as if it has been violently impacted, and it seems to have been caused by a sharp sword, coupled with the slight crack that Kuaping's knife did not completely penetrate the soft armor but only tore on the epidermis, the whole soft armor looks like it has reached the edge of shattering. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are also several blood marks on the dark cheeks of the black-armored young man, but the look in his eyes shows that he is still in good condition, and his expression is very cold, just like the demon python he faced last night, but what is more terrifying than the demon python is that he is stronger and more intelligent.
He was embarrassed, but he was not defeated by the demon python after all.
In the dawn, he walked through the vast forest in black.
The direction in which they walked was the direction in which Jingyang and Liu Chenyi left.
His purpose is to kill the geniuses among the test students, in the list provided by the Supervision Department, there are two who are nominated by the Supervision Department to assist, and a few are those who hope that he will be eliminated, Jingyang is on the list.
The reason why the Supervision Department provided this list was nothing more than that there were many temple disputes in it, which happened to be used by him and provided him with a lot of convenience.
Jing Yang didn't know that he had won the first test in the Wen Test, but he knew that this black-armored young man now regarded himself as his preferred target, so after Liu Chenyi abstained, his footsteps never stopped.
He needs to find the person he needs to find before the other person finds him.
Jingyang still has seven life-sustaining beads in his bag, a long sword on his body, and Liu Chenyi's bracelet that he refused and still can't get rid of.
There have always been people around me before, and at this time I was alone, and after suddenly being quiet, my heart was as calm as water.
A touch of calmness and seriousness that no one else had seen in the past appeared on his delicate face, and if anyone could observe the details of his surroundings up close, they would find him surprisingly sophisticated.
He's really good at it, and he's in a desperate situation.
Moreover, the current situation, compared to the past, and even Wei Jian's training of him, is far from being a desperate situation.
Walking to a small dry pool, Jingyang took a sip of water from the kettle, took out the map he had drawn, and continued to draw. Every two hours or so, he would supplement the map, relying on the part that Peng Ling had drawn after he met Peng Ling to deduce the approximate location of the group now. Now it's one step closer to the range I predicted.
After carefully sketching the map and putting it back in the package, Jingyang continued to hurry.
……
The afternoon sun was hot, illuminating the entire city of Falling Valley.
The light brushes over the yellow tiles of the eaves, casting a shadow on the ground, and the shade under the big banyan tree looks as inviting as mung bean soup in summer.
Yuan Fei stood in a courtyard, wearing a red robe, she looked a little delicate, her figure that used to be slightly bloated, was outlined by this robe and was only full, under the sun, like a cluster of flames.
Under the big banyan tree, a man in black was sweeping the ground, piling up fallen leaves like a hat.
In the courtyard there were seven other men dressed in black, and a woman sitting in front of the window embroidering.
The woman is always interspersed with needles and threads, and she never looks at Yuan Fei in the courtyard, and she looks as peaceful as the person in the painting from the outside in the yellow wood window frame.
Most of the black-clothed people in the courtyard were also busy with their own affairs, as if there was no strange visitor coming.
Yuan Fei looked out of place in the audience.
Obviously, she didn't care that she could fit into this environment, and she didn't look unnaturally at a middle-aged man in black sitting in a rocking chair.
Under Yuan Fei's gaze, the middle-aged man who kept shaking the rocking chair as if he was taking a nap did not open his eyes, but asked softly, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Yuan Fei's expression was as silent as an iceberg, and he said lightly: "Nine Swords Gate lecturer Yuan Fei." ”
The woman who threaded the needle couldn't help but look at her.
Such a glance also attracted Yuan Fei's gaze, so that the only two women in the audience glanced at each other.
The expressions of the two of them are calm, and their eyes are also calm, just like two women who are also buying vegetables in an ordinary vegetable market, when they pass by the same stall, they look at each other by chance, and there is no other person in their eyes, only hurriedly passing by, which is very ordinary and natural.
The woman hung her head and went on with the work at hand.
The middle-aged man in black opened his eyes slightly, his eyes looked at the woman in red in the middle of the courtyard like a crack in the door, "There are countless lecturers in the Nine Swords Gate, why have I never heard of a lecturer named Yuan Fei?"
Yuan Fei glanced at him and said, "Yuan Fei has read countless people, why has he never seen it before, and he has the courage to investigate the fool of my Nine Sword Sect disciples under the nose of the Nine Swords Sect?"
This tone was flat, but the smell of gunpowder in the words made the atmosphere in the room suddenly solemn, and the bodies of the rest of the people in black also stiffened slightly for a moment after the words fell.
The middle-aged man in black was surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this seemingly kind woman had such a temperament.
He twisted his hand slightly, signaling that the man in black beside him did not need to be nervous, the arrival of such a conversation was expected by him, so he was also very natural.
"General Qian informed you?" the middle-aged man in black asked casually as he struggled to prop himself up and sat up.
Yuan Fei withdrew his gaze, and his fair face was bright and peaceful.
Silent acquiescence, the middle-aged man in black no longer continued to ask about this question, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, his appearance already looked unfathomable, and this smile made him a little inexplicably terrifying.
"Ten years ago, whether it was the Nine Swords Sect or the Tongtian Sect, it was impossible for your five major sects to think that someone would take you under their command, nor would they have thought that one day and a year, the imperial court would intervene in your recruitment test and conduct an identity review, but ten years later, ......" The man smiled mockingly, picked up the tea from the wooden stool beside him and took a sip, "What does it matter if you investigate one or two of your disciples in the current situation?"
Yuan Fei squinted slightly.
"If Your Excellency thinks that my Nine Swords Sect is easy to bully, you can repeat what you just said. ”
The voice instantly dropped to freezing, and the words of the middle-aged man in black really angered her.
As soon as the words sounded, a cold light, like Xiao He's sharp corners, stretched out from her cuffs and slowly solidified in the field.
It's just the tip of the sword, not the tip of the lotus.
She is a lecturer of the Nine Swords Sect, and the cultivation of the Great Yuan Master is sharp at this time.
"Go get a chair for the lecturer and pour the lecturer a cup of tea. The middle-aged man in black looked at him with the blade of his short sword exposed on his cuffs, waved his hand, and beckoned to a man in black beside him.
The man in black bowed his head and walked towards the house, and soon came out with a chair and tea, and set the chair under the big banyan tree.
"It's cool there, the lecturer is there, and we're chatting. The middle-aged man in black said.
Yuan Fei didn't move for a few breaths, and then naturally sat on the chair.
Seeing Yuan Fei sit down, the two of them looked at each other, and the middle-aged man in black bowed his head at Yuan Fei.
"In fact, isn't it because what I said is true?"
The middle-aged man in black looked at her, "Slander will make people angry, tell the truth, why not?"
The palm of the middle-aged man in black clenched into a fist little by little, a green light flashed, and a pair of steel armor fist gloves tailored for him condensed on his fist, talking about the meaning of the edge, it was not as good as Yuan Fei's sword, but its wild and grand spirit was not allowed at all.
The black-clothed man behind him was restrained and quiet before a few breaths, and at this time, they were like a long sword that could be unsheathed at any time, with a hidden edge.
Only the woman is still sewing.
The wind blew, and the fallen leaves that had been swept up before blew all over the ground.
The strong wind blows the fallen leaves, and the beloved is uneasy.
Yuan Fei seemed to stay out of the matter, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"Hugh is rude. The woman, who had been silently doing her own thing, suddenly spoke. Her voice was ordinary, just like an ordinary woman, her tone was calm, and suddenly the elders seemed to be teaching their children, but just like that, all the men in black suddenly lost their edge.
"Since the lecturer is here to chat, I will chat with her. The woman paused and looked at Yuan Feidao.
The middle-aged man in black led by him, the fist gloves in his hand gradually disappeared, and he took another sip of tea without incident
"Is the lecturer here to warn, or is he here to warn?"
Yuan Fei said: "Give me a reason." ”
"There has been no one living here before, you only stayed here before the big test started, you are an escort, and you are escorting a girl, but please give me a reason, why do you want to investigate that teenager. ”
The middle-aged man in black stretched forward and said, "The lecturer also investigated us?"
"It's okay, this is the territory of the Nine Swords Gate, and the Nine Swords Gate naturally has the right to do such a thing, the lecturer wants to know the reason, and tells the lecturer that it is. ”
The middle-aged man in black smiled and said, "The test student we escorted is the daughter of Liu Tang, the waiter of the criminal division, because she was born too beautiful, and in order to prevent others from doing wrong to her, she made a disguise to prevent people from recognizing her, and that young man was the only one who met the young lady before the disguise, so we investigated, I don't know if the lecturer is satisfied with such a result?"
The answer may not be satisfactory, because the answer may not be the truth, but she cannot really pursue anything until she knows the facts.
Yuan Fei finally left the courtyard, and when she left, the woman had her first conversation.
"I don't know, is the martial arts test over?" the woman asked.
Yuan Fei looked at the attic where the officials of the Supervision Department were and squinted, "No." ”
