Chapter 50: The Position of Elder
Out of Yunmeng Garden, Xi Yutang changed his appearance, picked up his sword and got on the horse, didn't say hello to anyone, galloped out of Hangzhou City, and went straight to Qinggu.
She has cultivated her henchmen since she was a child, and countless iron-blooded methods have finally killed all the people around her who have different hearts, leaving behind all the trusted people who can give their lives to the other party. But she never thought that one day, the closest people around her would conspire with others to use tricks against her, even if the 'other' was his own brother.
Who is Shen Qi? Xi Yutang can say without hesitation that if someone wants to blackmail Shen Qi to ask for her life one day, she will exchange her life without saying a word. They are lifelong friendships, they are people who love each other, walk hand in hand, and don't want him to suffer a little bit of sin even if they die, this person has been with her for more than ten years.
But he wanted to abolish her martial arts without his consent.
He knew what the purpose of his life was, and doing so was nothing more than cutting off her life, but he did it anyway.
It was like someone used a huge axe to open the mountain, and used all his strength to slash her heart hundreds of times, bloody and painful. When Xi Yutang thought that it was not someone else who calculated her, but the person she trusted the most for many years, she was so sad that it became difficult to breathe.
But what can be?
That's Shen Qi!
It was she who did her best to leave a way back for her on the way to a place of no return. This person is not even afraid that he will be betrayed from now on, even if he knows that she will be separated from him, he doesn't care about it, just to prevent her from dying violently.
Xi Yutang can die in the hands of the enemy, under the sword, in conspiracy, but he must not die in the madness or poisoning recurrence-
That was the biggest insult to her life.
Shen Qi understands her, so he wants to save her in his own way.
โฆโฆ How could she hate?
The sadness in his heart, mixed with the anger that was concealed and the pain that he couldn't start, finally turned into a thick anger, overflowing all over his body, making the woman dressed in red on horseback, and the woman with a cold face as cold as frost was full of endless killing intent and sharpness.
She didn't dare to stay in Yunmengyuan, for fear that she would do something she would regret, so she could only leave.
All the way to the Qinggu Valley, according to the route led by Yan Sixteen and Su Seventeen last time, the second time I stepped into the valley of miasma that was poisonous and dangerous every step - the old nest of Tingyu Pavilion.
Before stepping into the miasma, Xi Yutang felt out two antidotes. One is produced by Tingyu Pavilion, and the other is an imitation of Shen Qi. After a pause, she still chose to put Shen Qi's medicine into her mouth, and stepped into the valley with incomparable trust in him.
โฆโฆ There really wasn't a trace of miasma entering the body.
It was not a taste in his heart, and Xi Yutang's face became more and more cold. She walked all the way into the only seven-story tower in the valley, and came to the main door of the deputy pavilion with her memory, and faced her gatekeeper who was blocking her, and said lightly Meng Shijiu asked to see her.
Someone went in to pass the word, Xi Yutang stood outside the door, thinking that the person she was about to face was Wei Qianhu of the Jinyi Division, and she didn't bother to hide the anger in her eyes, and when she was allowed to enter, she stepped into the room with a cold face.
Wei Han was sitting there waiting for her with a mask on.
Similar to the last time we met, the deputy pavilion master of Wei was still wearing a dark purple robe embroidered with silver thread, the tail of the robe was layered and spread all over the feet, low-key and gorgeous, the large irises faintly appeared, mysterious and fascinating, the eyes behind the mask were deep and deep like an abyss slightly squinted, lazy but sharp, and the whole body exuded a cold breath, which was prohibitive and terrifying.
"Coming back?" Wei Han's voice was low and faint, like the wind at the bottom of this valley.
Xi Yutang looked at him expressionlessly, unabashedly the imperative in his eyes, "Come back and take the position I deserve." โ
A low smile appeared behind the mask, and Wei Han looked at her coldly, "I heard that you killed the second disciple of the Ouyang Alliance?" โ
Heard?
You saw it with your own eyes.
Xi Yutang's eyes were calm, but he raised his chin slightly, "Collect people's money, โกโก." Isn't this the rule of the killer world? โ
Wei Han squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him seriously, his eyes swept over her sword-holding hand, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and finally he chuckled, "Sure enough, it's you." โ
He had personally fought with the person in front of him, whether it was swordsmanship or body shape, all of them were matched with Meng Nineteen in his memory, and he thought that she would not admit it, after all, she did not receive the task from the cabinet. Unexpectedly, Meng Shisan's apprentice ...... Sure enough, he is as domineering as him.
After a moment of silence, Wei Han raised his eyes again, "According to the rules, within a stick of incense, those who do not die under the siege of the three elders and injure one of them can have the qualification of an iron token." You ready? โ
Xi Yutang sneered, "Waiting for you at any time." โ
"Good!" Wei Han stood up, "There happen to be three elders in the valley today, seventeen, fifteen and me, what does Miss Meng think?" โ
โฆโฆ He does it himself?
Xi Yutang's hand holding the sword tightened, and his voice was cold with a strong murderous intent and interest, "That's really ...... That's great. โ
The news that someone was challenging the position of the elder quickly spread in the valley, especially after hearing that the deputy pavilion master had personally taken action, all the people who stayed in the valley gathered around the only martial arts training ground in the vast green valley.
Wei Han is still dressed in the same robe, and his gestures are full of carelessness. But Xi Yutang knew that his whole body was on alert, obviously standing casually but there was no flaw, saying that he didn't care, but he had fought with himself and suffered a loss, how could he not pay attention to it?
However, Su Seventeen and Huo Fifteen, who met for the first time, were easier to deal with.
Su Qiqi still looks like a noble son, and when he sees Xi Yutang, he comes up to say hello with a hippie smile, and there is no hostility at all. Huo Fifteen is a lean and low man, lower than Xi Yutang, his narrow eyes narrowed into a line, and his weapon is a dagger, which is now being thrown down in his hand with a new pattern, obviously a master of playing with daggers.
The two stood in front of the right side of the ring, Wei Han was behind the two, Xi Yutang didn't dare to despise it, and stood on the other side of the ring with his sword.
Someone lit incense, and the moment he saw Mars, Xi Yutang disappeared in place. At the same time, Su Seventeen and Huo Fifteen were also moving, and the two of them went up one by one, outflanking her left and right, blocking all her ways of life in an instant.
Wei Han stood in place, looking at the three people in the field indifferently, without any intention of making a move, but Xi Yutang knew that he was just waiting, and by the way, he was just helping the two of them sweep the formation.
Understanding the division of labor and intentions of the three of them, Xi Yutang divided his mind to guard against Wei Han, and then put all the rest of his energy on dealing with Su Huo and the others.
She set her goal as Su XVII.
With a dexterous turn of his feet, he skillfully avoided the stab on the back shoulder of Huo Fifteen's extremely tricky angle, and the whole person slammed down, kicked high and back, and handed over the long sword in his hand, and the Changyin swordsmanship shot instantly, like a broken bamboo, and extremely accurately hit the tip of the sword stabbed by Su Seventeen.
And the back of Huo Fifteen's dagger also happened to be pressed on the tip of her toe.
The scene seemed to freeze frame, and the red-clothed and black-haired woman in the field blocked the attacks of the two at the same time in a stretched posture that almost broke through the limits of the human body, with one foot and one sword.
One move, a draw.
Insiders look at insiders, and the more you look, the more you can taste it. Just by Xi Yutang's ability to dodge Huo Shifu without looking back, as if she had an eye in the back of her head, she accurately used her toes against the back of the knife to resist the back of the knife, and the frighteningly accurate interpretation of the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, you know that her strength is extraordinary, especially this courage, which has made the audience admire.
As soon as the three of them made contact, they separated again, the time seemed to be infinitely long and infinitely short, Xi Yutang's waist and abdomen turned horizontally in the air with a force, and at the same time he landed on the ground, he broke through common sense and slammed upward, only to hear a soft sound, blocking Su Seventeen's sword again, and then retreating sharply without any love, just avoiding Huo Fifteen's sprint from top to bottom.
His gaze swept over Huo Shifu's dagger that almost pierced the ground, and Xi Yutang once again bullied forward and circled with the two of them.
The three of them fought equally, under the siege of the two elders, Xi Yutang did not fall behind, but he could not complete the counter-killing, just because the two of them learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses and cooperated just right, they couldn't let her find the flaws for a while.
The corner of his eye skimmed the incense of the ring, and I don't know when it was halfway through. Her heart sank, and she quickly glanced at Wei Han, who was still standing in the distance watching the battle, and in her heart, she had already made a risky move.
I saw that she once again skillfully avoided the joint attack of Su Huo and the others, but in the next second, with a spun of her toes, the whole person turned around suddenly, turned her back to Huo Fifteen, and the long sword in her hand took Su Seventeen in an extremely tricky manner.
A reasonable flaw is in line with everyone's assumptions - seeing that time is running out, she must hurt one person first, even if it is an injury for an injury.
Su Qiqi's eyes were bright with cold light, the long sword shot out, and he met Xi Yutang without dodging, and behind her, Huo Shifu also took the opportunity to bully and get close to her back, and between the lightning and flint, everyone thought that the woman in red would inevitably suffer a heavy blow.
And at this moment, Wei Han moved.
He suddenly made a move, and an extremely powerful invisible true qi struck, which happened to go straight between Xi Yutang and Huo Fifteen.
Huo Wufu was shocked in his heart, and he didn't understand why the deputy pavilion master stopped him from making a move, and was about to regain his momentum, but he saw Xi Yutang suddenly step on his footwork messily, put away his sword and lower his waist, and slashed his upper body in half a circle, and the sword in his right hand was changed to his left hand at some point, and the true qi around his body suddenly exploded, jumped to the ground, and slammed on the sword that Su Seventeen was reaching.
In the next second, like an arrow from the string, she turned around and stabbed Huo Fifteen with a sword!
Jianghu once said that an inch is short and dangerous, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and the advantages and disadvantages of daggers and long swords are fully displayed at this moment.
Huo fifteen pounced on Xi Yutang, but he didn't expect her to turn halfway, how could a dagger be compared to a long sword?
Seeing that the tip of Xi Yutang's sword had arrived, and he was about to die on the spot in the next second, Wei Han's true anger arrived.
Under the block of true qi, Xi Yutang's sword momentum was slightly off, Huo Fifteen suddenly broke out at a critical moment, and on the side of the whole person's feet, the person had already formed a horizontal shovel momentum, and appropriately dodged the fatal attack.
The two crossed each other and stood on either side of the ring.
And Wei Han finally stood with the two of them.
Su Qiqi was tricked, Xi Yutang's kick was extremely heavy, although it was blocked, it still made his blood churn, but at this time, his eyes were as bright as Qiming, and he was completely excited.
"Hidden and unexpected, unexpected, the long hidden swordsmanship really deserves its name, nineteen sisters, beautiful!"
You're only nineteen sisters......
Xi Yutang's face was expressionless, and his breath was a little calm, and he rushed out with his sword again.
With the addition of the deputy cabinet master, Xi Yutang's offensive was blocked again. But she was already crazy, and she devoted herself to this fight, with the intention of killing one person in her heart, the sword edge became stronger and stronger, and the Changyin swordsmanship seemed to be played by her.
Wei Han was not afraid of danger, calm and composed, Su Seventeen was more excited than before, only Huo Fifteen, who was obviously still very good at it, but he was stained with a trace of hesitation and fear without a trace.
Xi Yutang is well versed in the psychological tactics between battles, and in addition to attracting Wei Han's feint, the most important thing is to plant a thorn in Huo Shifu's heart, saying: I can easily kill you.
No world-famous killer would want to die in the ring.
In private, she and Huo Fifteen really have to work hard, and the other party will definitely leave no hands behind under the psychological domination of wanting to live, and the hole cards will be exhausted. But now it's just a ring comparison, the purpose is to be the position of an elder, and showing his cards or dying in such a place is an insult to his killer career.
So Huo Fifteen hesitated.
Xi Yutang's plan from the beginning was like this, layer upon layer, first revealing his intention to swear Su Seventeen, then leading Wei Han down, and finally dispelling Huo Fifteen's fighting spirit.
In this way, the siege of the three became two, and she did not plan to fight to lose eight thousand of her own life, and the enemy was only Su Seventeen.
The three goals have become one, and if she can't take it anymore, she won't be Xi Yutang anymore.
Just before the last trace of incense burned out in the corner, Xi Yutang slashed across Su Qiqi's chest with a sword, and blood flowers burst out, announcing that she had successfully obtained the position of elder of Tingyu Pavilion.
Wei Han's expression was complicated, but there was a smile in his eyes, Huo Shifu looked at Xi Yutang's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak, but Su Qiqi, who was cut off with a sword, was still yelling, so he was not in good spirits.
"Nineteenth sister, it hurts!" Su Qiqi covered his chest with a pale face, "This ~~ long sword wound will leave a scar!" โ
After such a high-intensity fierce battle, Xi Yutang felt a lot of depression in his heart, although he still had a cold face, he had the thought of arguing, "You deserve it." โ
Su Qiqi suddenly burst into tears, "You compensate me!" My clothes are so expensive! โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ No way! โ
"What about the body?"
"Get out!"
Ignoring Su Qiqi, who looked aggrieved, Xi Yutang looked at Wei Han, who had a chuckle from behind the mask, clapped his hands, and someone sent a tray with an iron token on it.
"From today on, Meng Nineteen will listen to the Nineteen Elders of the Rain Pavilion for me." He looked out into the audience, and his voice was full of majesty.
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of whispers in the audience.
Listening to the eighteen elders of the Rain Pavilion ranked by numbers, they had never heard of any nineteen elders, but now, the iron token that the woman in red received on the stage was clearly engraved with the word [nineteen], how to explain it?
Xu is knowing what everyone was wondering about, Deputy Pavilion Master Wei raised his hand, and there was a sudden silence below.
He said lightly: "The Nineteenth Elder should have taken over the position of the Thirteenth Elder, but Miss Meng remembered the grace of her teacher's teaching and did not want to replace him, therefore, the position of the Thirteenth has been vacant from now on, and the Nineteenth Elder deserves to be honest." โ
With such an explanation, everyone suddenly realized - it turned out that Meng 19 was Meng 13's apprentice!
No wonder it's so powerful!
Xi Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the deputy pavilion master, who happened to look over, the two of them collided, Xi Yutang understood the banter in his eyes, and looked away in embarrassment.
โฆโฆ What kind of teaching grace, obviously she disdains it.
I know what I know, but I have to have a high-sounding reason, this Wei Han...... It's really not at all like the appearance of the usual brocade clothes division thousand household watches.
Come to think of it. Since you want to disguise, you naturally have to arm yourself from head to toe without revealing a flaw.
Back in the tower, Xi Yutang routinely thanked the deputy pavilion master.
"Don't thank me, it's worth your strength." Wei Han said lightly, "But since you are already an elder, you should know the rules of listening to the rain pavilion." Elders must complete three tasks within a year, and each task will be distributed by me or the cabinet master, and eighty percent of the income will go to you, and two points will be taken from the cabinet. The rest of the time is free to use, and you can also take tasks on your own, and you can get medicine for healing exercises from the cabinet every month, without having to buy them. โ
Xi Yutang nodded, thinking of the iron token that Shen Qi gave her, and hesitated to speak, "...... I haven't met the Pavilion Master yet. โ
Wei Han's figure paused, turned around, and looked at her with cold eyes, "The pavilion master is in retreat, and the affairs in the pavilion are handled by me, so it's okay to not see her for the time being." โ
Is this a warning to her?
Xi Yutang nodded expressionlessly and stopped talking.
Wei Han was very satisfied with her knowledge, and took an ordinary envelope from the hands of his subordinates, but it was sealed with fire paint, and there was not a word on the envelope.
"This is your first mission." He handed over the envelope.
Xi Yutang opened the envelope in front of him, and only one name was written on the first piece of paper, and the next few were the target information provided by the employer.
She flipped it twice at random, and something strange flashed in her drooping eyes.
"Does the Deputy Pavilion Master know the content of the mission?" She looked up calmly.
The eyes behind the mask of the person in front of her stared at her for a moment, and seeing that she was not wavering, he said lightly, "I know." โ
"Every single one knows?"
"Not really." Wei Han has excellent patience with her today, "If you have done it, you will naturally know." โ
That is, you don't know without hands?
The entire Listening Rain Pavilion is only something you don't know about the tasks that have been sent by the pavilion master......
After a moment of silence, she met the gaze of the person in front of her, "Honorarium? โ
"One hundred thousand taels."
Xi Yutang was unmoved, "I want it all." Eighty thousand taels, this goal, can't impress me. โ
Wei Han narrowed his eyes.
The two confronted each other silently, and for a while, the latter laughed, "It's up to you." In two months, I'm going to see the head. โ
Xi Yutang laughed silently.
Looking down at the paper again, the black characters on a white background, the three words [Song Jitong] are particularly clear.
