September, Luoyang. The www.biquge.info weather has begun to get cooler, and the number of people in the market town has increased. Someone was shouting, someone was haggling, everything seemed very ordinary. The Yitianmen at the west end of the market was also closed as usual, and all the disciples practiced in the courtyard. The door master's name is Tang Hao, who is sitting in the martial arts training ground, drinking tea while looking at the disciple who is shouting martial arts practice in front of him, showing a satisfied smile.

But any such sect must be a tyrant in the market. The vendors who come and go in this bazaar naturally have to go through Yi Tianmen's permission. Tang Hao picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but he stopped and asked the housekeeper beside him: "I went to the market to collect accounts today, how was the harvest?" ”

The housekeeper lowered his body and replied with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the master, every household in the city has paid the protection fee. ”

"Yes." Tang Hao nodded, then drank the tea, and then said, "It seems that these vendors are also obedient." ”

The steward replied: "Of course, who dares not to be afraid of the power of the door master?" They are protected by the master of the door day and night, how can they not be filial to the master? ”

Tang Hao laughed out loud when he heard this.

Smiling and smiling, Tang Hao suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. I just collected the protection fee today, and some vendors came to the door to ask for help? Tang Hao waved his hand first, and the apprentices in the courtyard immediately stopped practicing martial arts. He gestured to the door again, and the guard opened it.

Standing outside the door was not a vendor from the city, but a young man with messy hair, dressed in coarse cloth, with no shoes on his feet, and a sword pinned to his waist. When Tang Hao saw such a dress, he secretly laughed in his heart, it turned out to be a poor swordsman.

The doorman seemed to look down on this poor swordsman even more than Tang Hao, and stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?" How dare you knock on the door of my Yi Tianmen? How can a hillbilly like you come here? ”

The swordsman didn't pay attention to the doorman, stood outside the door and looked around the courtyard, saw Tang Hao sitting in the middle, and knew that he must be the master of the door, so he walked straight forward, bowed his hand, and said: "Lu Xiaozhuo, a swordsman in the Lower Tianshan Mountain, came to Luoyang, Guidi, alone, to meet the heroes of the world, and I have heard the name of Yi Tianmen for a long time, so I came to pay a visit." If the master of the door does not give up, he can learn from the below. ”

After Tang Hao heard this, he didn't answer, and the housekeeper next to him immediately said to Lu Xiaozhuo: "What kind of person is my master, how can he fight with you as a nobody?" If you want to ask me to teach me Yi Tianmen's martial arts, it's not difficult. Come! Knock this megalomaniac out the door! ”

Two disciples walked out from Lu Xiaozhuo's side, and were about to attack him, but suddenly heard "Ah! The two disciples fell to the ground in pain, and the people next to them saw this scene and immediately dared not speak, but they didn't know what trick the two people had hit. Looking at the sword on Lu Xiaozhuo's waist, it was still pinned there, unsheathed.

The butler also began to tremble, no longer having the arrogance he had just now, but he still continued to order: "Up! All together! Knock him out! Everyone rushed up and surrounded Lu Xiaozhuo.

"Slow!" Tang Hao, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke. It was the first time he had seen his disciples easily beaten in front of him. He stood up, took two steps forward, looked at Lu Xiaozhuo, and said, "Shaoxia is good at martial arts!" But don't deceive people too much! Since you want to learn from the old man, then the old man will let you see Yi Tianmen's martial arts today! ”

When everyone heard the door master's words, they all slowly moved away, leaving only Tang Hao standing in the center and confronting Lu Xiaozhuo.

"Bring the weapon!" Tang Hao let out a loud shout. I saw two disciples take out a bronze long knife from the backyard and kneel down to present it to Tang Hao. Tang Hao stretched out his right hand and said to Lu Xiaozhuo: "Please!" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo also responded: "Please!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Hao took the big knife and slashed it with a roar. Lu Xiaozhuo couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that Tang Hao was so impatient. In his eyes, although Tang Hao was powerful and powerful, his knife skills were not good, and the knife was not cut to the ground. Lu Xiaozhuo dodged two knives, and his right hand had touched his waist. Everyone only heard the sound of drawing swords, and there was no longer the sound of Tang Hao roaring. Next, there was blood, Tang Hao fell in a pool of blood, and there was a sword wound in his chest, from left to right.

Lu Xiaozhuo withdrew his sword, looked at Tang Hao's corpse, and sighed: "Alas! The so-called Yi Tianmen is nothing more than that, is there not a real master in the huge Luoyang City? Then he walked away. Leaving the housekeepers, doormen, disciples and other people waiting, they were still stunned there, and they didn't dare to speak out for a long time.

After coming out of Yi Tianmen, Lu Xiaozhuo continued to wander in the streets of Luoyang. Ever since he came down from the Heavenly Mountains, he has been wandering like this all day. When he came to the bustling city of Luoyang, he originally expected to meet martial arts masters, so he often challenged the various major sects in Luoyang. But in the past month, there have been countless Luoyang masters who have died at his hands, and all of them are just a sword. This made him bored.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaozhuo felt a cold wind blowing around him. He vaguely felt as if someone had just passed by him, but he didn't see this person's face clearly. Lu Xiaozhuo hurriedly looked back, the calm street market was still calm, and he couldn't see any special people. Could it be just a delusion? Lu Xiaozhuo's doubts had just arisen, and he seemed to see a black shadow at the end of the market, but he didn't have time to chase it, and the shadow disappeared into the crowd again, just a black shadow for a moment.

If this is not his own delusion, then this person's light skills are no longer within Lu Xiaozhuo's reach. And in the world, who else can have such light skills? Could it be him? That is the person Lu Xiaozhuo's master Wen Bai once said to him, who is unparalleled in the world. When Lu Xiaozhuo thought of this, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and his hand couldn't help but clench the sword at his waist, and his palms were already sweating.

Before Lu Xiaozhuo could come back to his senses, a lot of people suddenly rushed out from around the market, holding weapons, and surrounded him, and one of them took the lead and shouted: "Lu Xiaozhuo, you killed many of our sects in Luoyang City, which has aroused the public anger of all sects and factions in the city. Today, all the major sects of Luoyang City are attacking together, just to take your dog's life and avenge our master! ”

Just like this, Lu Xiaozhuo didn't pay attention to it at all. He was originally here to find a master, but the master didn't meet it, but he attracted a lot of minions to find trouble for no reason, which really annoyed him. He doesn't want to say anything anymore, no matter how many people you come to seek revenge, in his eyes, you are just looking for death. The sword he had already clenched was now ready to be unsheathed.

"Hahahaha!" From the hotel next to the market, the sound of a man laughing was heard. Lu Xiaozhuo followed the laughter and saw that the people in the hotel had already run out, and only a young man in white was sitting in the hall drinking. This person was dressed in white brocade, with a white scarf on his head, and white satin around his waist, except for a pair of black silk on his feet. was dressed decently, which was diametrically opposed to Lu Xiaozhuo, but he was empty-handed and did not have a weapon.

The minion ran into the hotel, saw that the young man in white was still drinking, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why are you laughing here? ”

The young man in white didn't look at him, and continued to think to himself, and said while drinking: "I laugh at your various factions in Luoyang for being famous in vain, and your master skills are not as good as others, so you want your disciples to come out to bully more and less, don't you laugh at the heroes of the world?" ”

After hearing this, the minion was about to get angry, but after thinking about it, the person who dared to say such a thing in front of so many people must not be an ordinary person, and looking at this person's calm expression, there may be some origins. He suppressed the fire and said slowly, "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”

The young man in white smiled and took out a knife from his sleeve. Lu Xiaozhuo could also see the knife, but it was just an ordinary flying knife, and if there was something special, it was a white jade pendant tied to the handle of the knife, and the jade pendant hung down and hung in the air, shaped like a water droplet, and like a meteor.

The minion boss stepped forward and saw that there seemed to be words on the knife surface, and he took a closer look, and the knife surface was illuminated by the sun, and sure enough, the word "Qin" appeared. As soon as he saw the word "Qin", the face of the minion turned white all of a sudden, as if he had seen a ghost, his legs fell to the ground as soon as he was weak, and he said tremblingly: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he doesn't know that it's Qin Daxia, and he was offended just now." ”

The young man in white put away the flying knife, continued to drink, and said, "Then you know now?" I see that this young man's martial arts are not low, just because a few of you are also sent to death in vain, it is better to listen to me and go back. ”

"This ......," the minion muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Huh?" The young man in white glared at him.

"Yes! Be! ......" The minion quickly agreed, and then ran away. The other minions also dispersed in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The market seems to have returned to calm.

Lu Xiaozhuo looked at this scene from beginning to end, in fact, he was already confused, originally he didn't know why these people came, and now he didn't know why these people ran. But he knew that the young man in white who was sitting in the hotel drinking was by no means an idle person, at least he should be many grades higher than a doorman like Tang Hao. So, he also stepped forward and bowed to the young man in white, saying, "Dare to ask the name of the hero?" ”

The young man in white stopped drinking, turned his head, looked at Lu Xiaozhuo, looked at the poor swordsman, and then sighed and said, "Alas! Isn't it ridiculous that you have a vain swordsmanship, but you don't have any experience, and you can even recognize me as a minion just now, but you don't know me? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo said: "I am a swordsman who has just come down from the Tianshan Mountain, and I don't know the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains. ”

The young man in white smiled and said, "Hehe, I see. My surname is Qin, my name is Yi, but I am a drunkard in the rivers and lakes. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo looked at the flying knife in Qin Yi's hand and asked, "Qin Daxia is a flying knife?" ”

Qin Yi also looked at his flying knife, and still smiled: "Oh, this is just my usual self-defense." As he spoke, he withdrew the knife into his sleeve.

When Lu Xiaozhuo heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, this time it seemed that he had really met a master, so he said to Qin Yi: "This is very good!" Since I arrived in Luoyang, I have visited famous families from all over the world, and I have hoped to meet masters. I see you today, the person I am looking for. I wonder if you can give me two tips? ”

After hearing this, Qin Yi smiled coldly and said, "I will help you out of the siege at the right time, you don't thank you, but you want to find me to do it, it is really the temperament of a newborn calf." But I don't want to do it with people in my life, if you want to find a master, you should find someone else. ”

Where can Lu Xiaozhuo still listen to Qin Yi's prevarication? He said fiercely: "I know that Your Excellency must be very human, and it is not easy to see it today, and there is no reason to give up!" If you refuse to make a move, then you will be disrespectful! With that, his right hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist. In the past month, whenever this sword came out of the sheath, blood was seen in the throat, which made the name Lu Xiaozhuo spread in Luoyang. But he knew that after this time he was unsheathed, he was afraid that it would not go as smoothly as usual, and it would be a fierce battle, a duel between his own sword and the master of the throwing knife. Thinking of this, Lu Xiaozhuo's blood was already boiling.

However, the sword was not unsheathed, because Lu Xiaozhuo's hand was hit by something at the moment when he was about to draw the sword, and he was immediately sore, and it took a while to regain consciousness, and at that moment, Lu Xiaozhuo suddenly found that drawing the sword turned out to be such a difficult thing. When I looked at it again, it was a wine jug stopper that hit the back of his right hand, which was already lying quietly on the ground. And what about Qin Yi? Still sitting there drinking, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiaozhuo let go of his right hand, which was originally holding the hilt of the sword, and stared at Qin Yi, but he couldn't say a word. He didn't know what kind of character Qin Yi was, he didn't know when Qin Yi threw this wine jug stopper at him, and he didn't know if Qin Yi was using a flying knife, then where would he be now? The passion that had just been ignited vanished in an instant. He had to realize that he still had a long way to go to become a master. And now, he could only stand in place, waiting for Qin Yi to speak.

Qin Yi looked up at Lu Xiaozhuo, then pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Sit!" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo sat down without saying a word.

Qin Yi asked: "Why are you looking for people everywhere to challenge?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo clenched his fists and said, "In order to one day, become the number one in the world." ”

Qin Yi asked, "Oh? What about being the best in the world? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "Shine on the lintel of my Sword Sect!" ”

"Sword Sect?" When Qin Yi heard these two words, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, "You are a disciple of the Sword Sect?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "Exactly! ”

Qin Yi asked, "That sword demon Duguhong, who are you?" ”

Lu Xiaozhuo replied: "It's my ancestor." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a disciple of Dugu Hong, no wonder he has this swordsmanship." Qin Yi paused for a moment, drank another glass of wine, poured it again, and then said, "I think I also had a relationship with Duguhong back then. That's it! Since you are looking for the heroes of the world today, I will teach you this. ”

"Oh?" Lu Xiaozhuo looked at Qin Yi curiously.

I saw Qin Yi take out a scroll from his pocket, the shaft was made of black rhinoceros horn, spread out vertically on the table, and on the scroll woven of white silk, there were three vigorous characters written in the middle of the head: "Divine Soldier List", and then there was a list, listing the names of more than a dozen people. Lu Xiaozhuo had never seen this kind of thing before, and he hadn't heard the master mention it, so he asked, "What is this?" ”

Qin Yi replied unhurriedly: "This is the "Divine Soldier List" written by the sword god Ouyang Xu back then, which lists the top thirteen martial arts masters and the weapons they use today. I will give it to you now. If you have this list, you don't have to look for people to challenge you in the future, and you will have enemies with various sects and factions for no reason. ”

After Lu Xiaozhuo heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and he was surprised that he didn't know that there were such gods in the world, and he ranked the heroes of the rivers and lakes one by one; Happily, from then on, he had a goal, and he would no longer wander around the Luoyang market all day long. But after thinking about it, he frowned again and said, "I think the material of this list is very gorgeous, but I'm afraid it's not cheap......"

Before Lu Xiaozhuo finished speaking, Qin Yi burst out laughing, shook his head again and again, and said, "It doesn't matter if he is gold or silver." This list is just a burden to me, but it may be of some help to you. In that case, why not give it to you? ”

Lu Xiaozhuo hurriedly thanked him, and couldn't wait to read the "Divine Soldier List" word by word, and saw that the first line was impressively written: "Qin Yi, Meteor Knife." He was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. He hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands into fists, bowed again and again, and said in his mouth: "I don't want Qin Daxia to be the real number one in the world!" Lu Xiaozhuo immediately understood why those minions ran away as soon as they heard Qin Yi's name, and also understood why a small wine pot stopper could make him unable to draw his sword for a long time. Thinking that he wanted to force Qin Yi to make a move with a sword just now, he couldn't help but tremble.

Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't care about this, you just look down." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo sat back timidly, pointed to the three words "Meteor Knife" on the list, and asked, "It turns out that the weapon used by Qin Daxia is called the Meteor Knife." ”

Qin Yi smiled: "Actually, it's nothing special, it's just some ordinary flying knives." It's just that when you throw the knife, you have to let people know who threw it. He added a jade pendant to the handle of the knife to mark it. As for the name of this sword, it was given by the first teacher, and I am afraid that it is only because of the similar shape. Unexpectedly, the rivers and lakes blew it to the gods, and gave it the name of a god soldier in vain. In fact, those behind are the real magic weapons. Just keep reading. ”

Although Lu Xiaozhuo was still difficult to calm down in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he continued to look down, and the names of the next few people were even more unheard of by him. The full text of "Divine Soldier List" is:

first, Qin Yi, Meteor Knife;

second, Zhong Liyan, the flower of the Heavenly Maiden;

Third, there are no kendo people, Taiji sword;

fourth, Li Que, Maitreya knife;

Fifth, Mu Hugh, the hand of the sun;

Sixth, Wei Xing, chasing the moon legs;

Seventh, Feng Zhiyuan, earth-shattering thunder;

eighth, Situ Gu, five poisons;

ninth, Hongfu, jack hammer;

tenth, Lei Zhenggang, white jade hook;

eleventh, Huang Duo, purple gold ring;

twelfth, Bai Shaolong, Xuanying Gun;

Thirteenth, Bao Dahai, Monkey Fist.

Lu Xiaozhuo looked at the names on the "Divine Soldier List" repeatedly, he felt that the blood in his body was accelerating, and he was both envious and reverent for these big names, and he really hoped that one day he would be among them. However, after looking at it over and over again, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this list. After a closer look, he finally realized that the list was missing the characters he had heard about in the mountains before. "Strange." He couldn't help but say, "Why is there no sword god Ouyang Xu on this "Divine Soldier List"? ”

Qin Yi replied unhurriedly: "I have just said that this "Divine Soldier List" is made by the Sword God. The sword god has long since retired, and this "Divine Soldier List" is the seat he gave to the martial arts at that time after he retired, so naturally he will not include himself in it again. Besides, the sword god is highly respected, how can he be in line with those of us who are busy? Not only the sword god himself, but also the masters who had retired at that time, such as the Phantom Finger Qin Xuyun Wailou, the **** period of the sound king, and the master Zongsang of Tubo, were not included in it. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo said secretly in his heart: "In addition to the Sword God and the thirteen people on the "Divine Soldier List", it turns out that there are so many masters on the rivers and lakes. It seems that the rivers and lakes are far from what I imagined at the beginning. Then he asked, "I heard that the Eagle Sect masters in the southwest Miao Jiang are like clouds, why haven't I seen any of them on this "Divine Soldier List"?" ”

"Eagle Cult?" Qin Yi sneered, "The Eagle Sect is a cult of demons, and it has a lot of festivals with my Central Plains Martial Arts, and the Sword God is the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts, so how can he confuse the Central Plains Martial Arts with this cult?" Besides, although the Eagle Sect is big, there are probably very few people with outstanding martial arts, and its leader Yao Luan never shows his head, and no one knows the details of it, so how can he be ranked in the list? ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaozhuo felt that what Qin Yi said was much more interesting than what his master had told him at the beginning. He studied art in Tianshan for ten years, but his master Wen Bai only told him two names: one was Ouyang Xu, the sword god, and the other was Ye Feng. Speaking of Ye Feng, Lu Xiaozhuo felt strange again, because there was no name of him on this "Divine Soldier List". "Why isn't Ye Feng among them?"

Qin Yi asked in surprise, "Ye Feng? Have you also heard of Ye Feng? ”

"Well, I once heard the master on the mountain say that this person is very good at light skills, and he is unparalleled in the world." As he spoke, Lu Xiaozhuo remembered the black shadow he saw just now, could that person be Ye Feng? The sweat on Lu Xiaozhuo's palms didn't seem to have dried yet.

"Not bad." Qin Yi took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Ye Feng is indeed the first in the world, and he is known as 'Flying Shadow', but because of this, he has come and gone without a trace, and not many people have seen him really make a move, and they don't know what kind of weapon he used, so it was not easy for the Sword God to include him in the list back then." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo was shocked when he heard this: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Could it be that no one has ever seen Ye Feng's weapon? ”

"Not really." Qin Yi explained, "Soon after the completion of this "Divine Soldier List", Bao Dahai of Monkey Mountain, the guy who ranked last on the list, died in his own home, it is said that he was killed by Ye Feng, but the murder weapon was Bao Dahai's own throat claw. People speculated that Ye Feng wanted to use this to prove that he was qualified enough to enter the "Divine Soldier List". ”

Lu Xiaozhuo asked: "So, Ye Feng also uses claws?" ”

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Back then, Ye Feng once relied on a flying leaf to save Li Que from danger. Looking at it this way, Ye Feng is another flying weapon. So for so many years, no one could say exactly what Ye Feng's weapon was. ”

"This ......" Lu Xiaozhuo was already dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that there were such strange people on the rivers and lakes, he had only heard of Ye Feng's light skills before, but now it seemed that his weapons were as elusive as his light skills. Such a person is the most terrible, because no one knows where his weaknesses are.

Seeing Lu Xiaozhuo's surprised expression, Qin Yi smiled faintly again and said, "In my opinion, Ye Feng is not practicing martial arts in any weapon, so weapons are not important to him. Only a person like him can be at ease wherever he goes. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo nodded, and read the "Divine Soldier List" again, and the names of the thirteen people on the list had already been memorized by him. He couldn't help but sigh: "When I met Qin Daxia today, I realized that my knowledge was short, if it weren't for this "Divine Soldier List", how could I know that there are so many martial arts masters?" Now it seems that I am definitely no match for these characters, so it is better to go back to Tianshan and continue to practice hard. ”

"Haha!" After Qin Yi heard this, he laughed again, "If you meet people and compete, how can you make friends with heroes in the world?" I gave you the "Divine Soldier List", not to challenge them one by one to compete for rankings, but to let you know some of the situation in the rivers and lakes, and you will not be so reckless when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future. You can't compete with the people on this list, but you can get to know them. Now that you have just entered the rivers and lakes, you can make more friends and make fewer enemies, so that you can gain a foothold, and it will be possible to shine on the lintel of your Sword Sect in the future. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo nodded violently and said, "Qin Daxia's teachings, you must keep it in mind!" ”

At this time, Qin Yi drank the last sip of wine in the cup and slowly stood up. Lu Xiaozhuo also stood up. He saw that Qin Yi had drunk two or three catties of wine, but he couldn't see that he was drunk at all, he still stood very steady, and his speech was brisk and neat, could it be that this was also due to his deep internal strength?

Qin Yi picked up another pot of wine, smiled at Lu Xiaozhuo, and said, "I already love to make friends with heroes in the world, and I don't like to dance with guns and sticks." When I saw you today, I was quite qualified, so I chatted casually, and we even talked very happily. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo saw that Qin Yi was leaving, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Qin Daxia going?" ”

"I like to wander around, the world is big, and there is nowhere to go. Since you and I have fallen in love, we can have a period in the future! Qin Yi said as he walked towards the door.

Before Lu Xiaozhuo could think about what to say, Qin Yi had already left the hotel. Lu Xiaozhuo hurriedly followed, but there was no trace of Qin Yi, only the "Divine Soldier List" was still tightly held by Lu Xiaozhuo.
