32. Chapter 32
"Maybe some of you already know." In the room, Mu Shuliang's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a low voice, "This time our first competition is a group test, by our five disciples fighting each other, under the melee, the shape is difficult to control, compared to a single battle, the group test is actually more difficult, each of you must be very familiar with other people's moves, trust each other, so that you can play your best strength on the battlefield." ”
Everyone was silent, Feng Yaochu frowned slightly, Wen Si and Bai Huang Zhu were also stunned, only Su Xian and Xiao Lan looked like they had already known.
Mu Shuliang continued: "I just went to the council hall for this matter, and I have already come out in the order of this competition." He glanced at them and said, "Our opponent is the man of the East Gate." ”
The righteous path in the world is divided into three sects and seven sects, and those who participate in the Xuantian test are the young disciples of these three sects and seven sects. The seven factions are the empty cicada faction, the Xuanyang faction, the Shuiyunmen, the Tianwuguan, the Qianyuanfeng, the Qingyunfang and the Wuhua faction, and the three doors are the guide, the north, and the east three gates, hundreds of years ago, the three doors were originally one, collectively known as the sword gate, but they fell apart due to the rebellion in the door, and finally divided into the current three gates, the three martial arts roads belong to the same sect, all of them are based on swordsmanship, but over the years, the number of the three sects has also been different.
And this time, in the Xuantian test, as the east gate of the empty cicada faction, the swordsmanship is based on fast.
"The sword style of the people in the East Gate is fast and ruthless, I also fought with them many years ago, if it weren't for the suppression of the foundation, it would be difficult for me to win, this time you must not take it lightly." Mu Shuliang analyzed seriously, "I don't know what tactics they plan to use in this group test, if all of them join forces to attack one of us, it will be difficult for that person to escape the attack of the five fast swords." ”
If the other party uses this method to break people individually, it will be difficult for them to parry.
Mu Shuliang's meaning is very obvious, and everyone can understand it. But after a while, Mu Shuliang said again: "But this is not something that cannot be prevented, as long as we have someone to restrain us, they will not be able to exert their full strength." He smiled, and then said in a low voice: "There are still three days before the competition, and I hope that in these three days, you can practice each other's moves and familiarize yourself with each other's moves, so that you can cooperate well and deal with each other's attacks when the time comes." ”
After saying this, Mu Shuliang gave a few more words, and then asked everyone to rest early and start practicing early the next morning.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Xian took Xiao Chu to the open space next to the bamboo forest not far in front of the house.
Mu Shuliang stood by the bamboo forest with his hands in his hands, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
There was still a white phoenix candle standing next to Mu Shuliang, the two were talking in a low voice, it was a familiar look, Su Xian watched the two of them talk, and confirmed his previous judgment in his heart, the sons of the eight great families really knew each other. Seeing Su Xian's arrival, Mu Shuliang and Bai Huang Candle ended the conversation, turned around and smiled: "The others haven't arrived yet, but since the two of you are here, it's better to fight first." ”
"It's fine." Bai Huang Zhu bowed his head slightly, and soon came to Su Xian's side, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Sister Su, please." ”
Su Xian smiled and summoned the Qihuang flute.
The fire stick has now turned into a sword, and the power of the sword is not easy for Su Xian to grasp, so he simply uses the Qihuang flute to fight with the white phoenix candle. Seeing this, Bai Huang Candle couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "It turns out that Senior Sister Su knows how to make music." ”
"It's just a little bit." Su Xian said, "Let's make a move." After she said this, she had already blown the jade flute in her hand.
The poignant sound of the flute is a song "Cold Autumn", which tells the story of a husband who traveled far away from the army, a horse leather shroud, and a wife who has been looking forward to it for many years. Each sound of this flute was desolate to the bone, and the invisible sound blade came out of it and struck straight towards the white phoenix candle.
Bai Huang Candle was a little stunned when he heard the sound of the flute, but when the killing intent hit, he immediately woke up, pulled out the heavy sword obtained from Mei Shuangmeng, and swept the sword, only to hear the sonorous sound constantly sounding, and white scratches had already appeared on the sword body. Bai Huang Candle was startled when he saw this, and his movements changed again, and he was already rushing towards Su Xian.
People who use music as weapons cannot move, distance is the key, as long as they are close, they cannot be avoided. The white phoenix candle was about to get close to Su Xian, but Su Xian was not in a hurry, the flute sound changed again, and the originally poignant song suddenly became a song of conquest and killing, and every syllable was like a drum, which shook the white phoenix candle's chest and blood rolling, and he couldn't help but pause.
Bai Huang Candle gritted his teeth fiercely, knowing that something was wrong, he immediately ignored his heart, the heavy sword swept out, and the person swept out like a hurricane, attacking Su Xian violently!
The heavy sword was like a mountain, and it fell to the ground with a bang, but Su Xian was no longer in the position of Fang Cai at this time. Her figure floated and landed behind the white phoenix candle, and the sword shadow of the white phoenix candle swirled out, without looking back, but the sword in her hand still swept over again.
Su Xian was able to dodge, but she hesitated for a moment, but did not retreat.
They fought too hastily just now, Xiao Chu was standing beside her, if she retreated, a sword of the white phoenix candle would inevitably fall on Xiao Chu's body.
Su Xian reluctantly raised his hand to meet the enemy, and actually used that jade flute to frame the sword of the white phoenix candle to destroy the withering and decaying!
The sword almost stopped against Xiao Chu's face, Su Xian had the jade flute in his hand, blocking in front of the sword, but his arm had already been shocked and numb.
Seeing this, Bai Huang Candle also knew what was going on, and hurriedly put away his sword and apologized: "I didn't mean to hurt this puppet, but I didn't ......stop it in a hurry."
"Nothing." Su Xian shook his head, turned around to look at Xiao Chu, and saw that Xiao Chu was unharmed, so he said, "Xiao Chu is fine." She couldn't help but glance at the ball of light beside Xiao Chu again, and the ball of light immediately rubbed towards her affectionately.
Su Xian hooked the corners of his lips, endured it for a while and didn't laugh, turned his eyes to look at Bai Huang Candle, Bai Huang Candle looked at the puppet wearing a mask suspiciously, and whispered: "I heard Xiao Mu say that you are a puppet master, you can manipulate the puppet to attack, why don't you use him to fight me, but you have to be distracted to protect him?" ”
Su Xian hesitated for a moment, and was going to say that he didn't have the habit of manipulating Xiao Chu to fight, but then he remembered that this group test, I am afraid that it is really possible to use Xiao Chu's place to shoot, so he shook his head and said: "Then I will let Xiao Chu fight you, and you can try again." ”
Bai Huang Candle nodded hurriedly, concentrating on preparing to deal with Xiao Chu. Su Xian took out a talisman from himself, and pasted it on Xiao Chu's body with familiar movements. Xiao Chu, who was originally standing quietly in place, suddenly moved.
This fight is a completely different situation from just now, Xiao Chu shot extremely fast, every move is a fatal move, one move does not give people a chance to breathe, and the heavy sword of the white phoenix candle is the momentum of jade burning, in the face of Xiao Chu's killing move, it seems that he is not afraid, there is no intention to back down, and he shoots neatly, and he has to fight to the death.
The two of them made a move like a storm, and the entire bamboo forest clearing could only hear the sound of clanging blades fighting, and in the blink of an eye, no less than a hundred moves had passed. Even Su Xian and Mu Shuliang, who were standing on the side, couldn't help frowning.
None of these two people had the intention of backing down, Xiao Chu would naturally not retreat without Su Xian's order, and Bai Huang Zhu seemed to be getting braver and braver the more he fought, and he had a desperate posture. The two of them played this way, and their bodies soon became red.
Seeing that Xiao Chu was injured, Su Xian didn't plan to let the two fight anymore, and immediately said loudly: "Xiao Chu, stop." ”
Xiao Chu, who was fighting, immediately withdrew his hand, but no one expected that the white phoenix candle just slashed out with a sword, this sword was extremely fast, and there was no room for retraction, Xiao Chu withdrew his hand and stood in place, just like being slaughtered. If this sword really fell on Xiao Chu's body, it would inevitably be the result of a river of blood. Su Xian didn't think about it, and immediately jumped out, the fire sword in her hand had already been sacrificed, she didn't draw the sword, she only held the white phoenix candle with the scabbard.
It's just that this sword is too powerful, Su Xian had to drive the sword on the one hand, and take Xiao Chu all the way back, and after retreating for more than ten steps, this sword can be regarded as contained.
The white phoenix candle was pale, and he was about to speak, but the moment he raised his eyes, he froze.
Su Xian didn't notice the strange appearance of the white phoenix candle, she was looking at Xiao Chu. Xiao Chu suffered two sword wounds on his arm, but fortunately, it was not strict, and the mask was also split off by this last one and fell to the ground next to him. Su Xian picked up the mask and was about to put it on for Xiao Chu, but suddenly heard the white phoenix candle behind him shout in a trembling voice: "Xiao Chu? ”
Su Xian's movements froze, and he turned to look at the white phoenix candle.
Bai Huang Candle's eyes were full of surprise and incomprehension, and there were some complicated and indescribable feelings mixed with it, looking at his expression, Su Xian was sure that the "Xiao Chu" he called in his mouth should refer to Chu Qingjiu.
It seems that many of the descendants of the Eight Great Families know each other, and it seems that Bai Huang Candle does know Chu Qingjiu.
"This is my puppet Xiao Chu, not Chu Qingjiu." Su Xian was silent for a moment, and then said loudly, "Senior brother, you admit your mistake. ”
Bai Huang Candle was still difficult to calm down, and glared at Su Xian puzzled, "But why...... Will your puppet look the same as Xiao Chu? ”
"It's just borrowing his face." Su Xian said casually, unwilling to explain too much, so he only put the mask back on for Xiao Chu.
At this moment, Yaolan and Feng Yaochu and others also arrived in the clearing, and they didn't see what had just happened, Feng Yaochu saw Bai Huang Zhu carrying a sword, and he also had the idea of learning for a while, so he wanted to practice sword with Bai Huang Candle, Bai Huang Candle hesitated to say something more with Su Xian, but Su Xian took Xiao Chu to Xiao Lan's side. Bai Huang Candle didn't have a chance to talk to Su Xian anymore, so he had to give up.
This day was spent between practicing each other's moves, but everyone seemed to be hiding their own strength slightly, and this practice seemed very casual.
After the discussion, they returned to their respective quarters.
Tiangang League specially sent someone to bring dinner to each disciple's room, Su Xian ate and cleaned up for a while to change clothes, and then planned to read a book and rest, who knew that she had not had time to rest, so she heard a knock on the door outside the house.
Su Xian didn't have to guess to know who was coming, she glanced back at Xiao Chu, who was sitting quietly in the room, and still opened the door.
Bai Huang Candle stood outside the house, looking at Su Xian with a cautious expression, and glanced at Xiao Chu in the house from time to time.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Su Xian asked.
Bai Huang Candle hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I heard Xiao Mu talk about Senior Sister Su and Xiao Chu, he sued me that you are Xiao Chu's friend before his death, and the appearance of this puppet was also fabricated like this in order to expose the conspiracy of the Chu family, it turns out that the person who exposed the conspiracy of the Chu family in Changshanzhuang was you......"
After such a long time, I didn't expect to hear someone mention this matter, Su Xian looked at Bai Huang Candle's expression, and knew that he had no malicious intent, so he said "um" lightly.
Bai Huang Candle then said: "The Bai family and the Chu family have always been friends, I grew up with Xiao Chu since childhood, and he will have such a thing, in fact, it is all my fault......"
Su Xian frowned slightly, not understanding why Bai Huang Candle would say this.
Bai Huang Candle saw her doubts, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Chu is talented and intelligent, and his skills are very good, if he hadn't been to protect me, he wouldn't have been captured by the people of the Xuanyue Sect, and if he hadn't been captured, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened." ”
"I hurt him."
