30. Seven
It was very windy and cold in the steppe.
There was a lone eagle flying in the sky, and after circling rapidly, it sped away.
It's autumn now, but the weather on this grassland is not like autumn at all, and even the grass is not dew or dewdrops, but frost condensed by dew.
Jiang Xiyi and his entourage broke through the tranquility of the early morning on the grassland, and walked unhurriedly against the cold wind of slaughter.
The wind carried a call sign, with the sound of withered grass, and at the same time brought some almost inaudible insect chirps, and even brought the smell of withered leaves.
The terrain on the grassland is flat, people ride on horses, and their sight is not too obstructed, and they can see the smoke rising from a distance, but there is no trace of people.
The direct sunlight without any temperature and without any shelter covered the grassland, and it seemed to want to drive away the last trace of chill left in the air and on the leaves after a long night, but it was not enough.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and through the sound of the wind, they got closer and closer to Jiang Xiyi and the others.
Hai Dashao and Thunderbolt were curious, and when they looked back, they saw a healthy horse with a fur like ink splashing from the west, carrying a young man with a face like a crown of jade and a white coat.
The horse walks like a dragon, running on this vast grassland, like a gust of wind blowing, but the young man on the horse is still standing like a mountain.
The bright sun reflected his eyebrows, and people couldn't help but sigh, this is indeed a handsome young man, but his brows are furrowed, as if there is something difficult to worry about, โกโก the horse is already fast, but he still beats the horse urging, as if there is something urgent.
The galloping horse grew faster and faster, the sound of the horse's hooves became more and more urgent, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the sunlight and went deep into the prairie.
Hai Dashao was surprised: "This young man, why do I feel so familiar." โ
Thunderbolt said, "You think so too? I thought the boy was familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it. โ
Thunderbolt fire with the sea of two people, idle, seeing Jiang Xiyi and her group of masters, I couldn't help but be surprised, knocked on the side to learn that this group of people was going to the grassland outside the Saiwai, so Jiang Xiyi thought for a while, and brought the two of them, so the team at the moment is sixteen people, but the fourteen white horses are mixed with two black hairy black horses, so it is not eye-catching.
Jiang Xiyi heard the conversation between the two, but he didn't pay attention to it, they were getting closer and closer to Zhu Zao's position to tell her.
After another journey, Hai Dashao suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I remembered!" โ
Thunderbolt Fire looked at Hai Dashao and asked suspiciously, "What do you remember?" โ
Hai Dashao laughed and said, "Of course I remembered where I saw that young man just now." โ
Thunderbolt was very curious when he heard this, and urged in his mouth: "Tell me quickly, who is that young man?" โ
Hai Dashao smiled: "Actually, it's not just me, you should have seen that young man." โ
Thunderbolt frowned and said impatiently: "You old man, if you have something to say, you can say it quickly, if you have a fart, what else do you sell." โ
Hai Dashao squeezed his eyes at the white-clothed people around him, and laughed: "I just want to sell Guanzi, what can you do with me?" โ
Thunderbolt frowned, and immediately smiled, he understood what Hai Dashao meant, along the way, these white-clothed people, especially Jiang Xiyi, who was the leader, have always talked little, and at this moment Hai Dashao provoked a conversation, actually wanted to tease Jiang Xiyi to speak, and he didn't know if he really knew who the young man was, so Thunderbolt Huo smiled: "How dare I tell you brother, tell me quickly, how did I know this young man." โ
Hai Da Shao also laughed to himself: "Actually, your brother really shouldn't forget this young man, it stands to reason that we are people who have a fateful friendship!" โ
Thunderbolt thought about it carefully, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said, "Could it be that you mean that we escaped death from the hands of the 'Nine Sons and Ghost Mother' back then?" โ
Hai Da Shao laughed and said, "Your brother finally remembered!" I'm talking about this in the Li family in the north of the city! โ
Thunderbolt nodded and muttered, "This young man is indeed a remarkable character, I really didn't expect to meet here." โ
Hai Dashao touched his head and said loudly: "Ouch! I remember that this young man is surnamed Yun, and it seems that he is still from Daqimen, could it be that Daqimen is now on this grassland? โ
Jiang Xiyi heard the three words of Daqimen, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Daqimen? That young man is also a member of the Great Banner Gate? โ
The banner gate is also the iron-blooded banner gate.
There is no one in the rivers and lakes who does not know the name of the Iron and Blood Banner Sect, even if this sect has long since declined over the years, and was even connected by the 'Five Blessings Alliance' under his command back then, and secretly overthrown, and even Perak Hall is also one of the Five Blessings Alliance.
However, the shape of the banner gate is erratic, and it is fierce, and all the sects and factions in the world are afraid of its three points.
In the past, the demons in the rivers and lakes danced wildly, for the harm of the martial arts, inhumane, the people in the rivers and lakes dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and after many years of forbearance, until the two ancestors of the Great Banner Gate Yun and Tie brought two swords to calm the demons, with the blood of forty-one people, dyed into a big flag.
Since then, the people in the rivers and lakes have been grateful for the newspaper, and everyone bows their heads wherever the banner comes.
When Thunderbolt Fire and Hai Da Shao heard Jiang Xiyi's question, they suddenly laughed, and when Jiang Xiyi was wondering what the two were laughing at, Hai Da Shao suppressed his laughter and said, "You little girl has finally said a word, a group of you are silent and don't talk much, and you are about to suffocate to death!" โ
Jiang Xiyi turned his head, ignoring Hai Dashao and Thunderbolt Fire, and continued to ask, "That young man is also from the Great Banner Sect?" โ
"Of course, when I was in the Li family in the north of Luoyang City, I had a lifelong friendship with the young man, and I lived and died together, if the old man is not mistaken, the young man's surname is Yun, and he is a disciple of the Daqi Sect, but ......" Thunderbolt Fire did not finish speaking, and suddenly changed.
Jiang Xiyi asked, "But what?" โ
Thunderbolt Fire has been in a high position for many years, even if he has a bold personality and does not like to fight, but he still understands a lot of some winding doorways, and his mind is much more complicated than ordinary people, he muttered: "But Master Jiang, you go all the way to the grassland, it seems that you have your own destination, and you have paid so much attention to the Great Banner Gate, could it be that you came to the grassland to find the Great Banner Gate?" โ
Thunderbolt no longer calls her Miss Jiang at this time, but calls her the owner of Jiang Village, and the implication is overflowing.
Jiang Xiyi said: "Yes, I came here to find a disciple of the Great Banner Sect. โ
Thunderbolt was stunned when he heard this, he asked this, he thought that Jiang Xiyi would go around in circles with him, or perfunctory, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiyi to answer directly.
Hai Dashao said loudly: "Miss Jiang, who are you looking for here?" I have almost all seen this guy under the banner and Thunderbolt! โ
Suddenly, Jiang Xiyi reined in the horse, and everyone behind her also stopped their horses, Thunderbolt Fire and Hai Da Shao were puzzled when they saw this, and looked ahead, and found that there was a temple not far away that seemed to have no incense, and there was a horse parked at the entrance of the temple, and that horse was the mount of the young man surnamed Yun.
However, what Jiang Xiyi was looking at was not the temple, nor the horse, but a blood-colored banner that was waving in the wind in the oblique โกโก tree.
Jiang Xiyi said: "Get off the horse." โ
The thirteen people of the Nandou and the Beidou turned over and dismounted, holding the reins, led by Jiang Xiyi, and walked forward slowly.
Hai Dashao asked suspiciously: "Miss Jiang, you haven't said it yet, which one are you looking for here!" โ
At this time, the wooden door at the entrance of the temple was slowly pushed open, and a man walked out of it, and it was the young man who had come here that night.
Jiang Xiyi glanced at him and couldn't take his eyes off it.
This young man's hands are extremely steady, and his steps are a little heavy step by step, but he can't leave footprints on the ground, his breathing is long, and his internal strength must be good.
What's more, this person seems to be born with a sense of self-confidence, but this self-confidence is not publicized, but is buried by him under calmness, ordinary people will definitely not be able to see it, but how can Jiang Xiyi not see it.
Master, he is an absolutely rare master.
In an instant, Jiang Xiyi entered a state of preparation, no matter who this young man was, she wanted to fight with him.
Hai Dashao also saw that person, his face was happy, and he laughed and said, "Tie Zhongtang! So you're not dead, so you're here! โ
Thunderbolt also saw the man, first stunned, then laughed, stepped on light skills, stepped to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You good boy! The old man said, how can you die, you must still be alive, sure enough, sure enough! โ
Then after the three of them looked at each other, the joy of the reunion of friends suddenly came to their hearts, not to mention that Thunderbolt Fire and Hai Dashao also saved his life, and these two people also received his grace, this big river and lake, it is not easy to find friends, every friend is worth cherishing, after the three of them were stunned when they saw each other, they didn't know how to express their feelings for a while, and after shaking hands tightly, they laughed together.
It was Hai Dashao and Thunderbolt who laughed, and the young man was even laughing with self-control.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiyi said, "You are Tie Zhongtang?" โ
These words were sent into the ears of the three of them with the increasingly urgent autumn wind, and the young man clenched his fists and said, "Down there is Tie Zhongtang." โ
Jiang Xiyi nodded, a smile appeared on his face, his expression looked extremely satisfied, and he said slowly: "Very good, very good." โ
Tie Zhongtang was puzzled in his heart, but his face was not obvious, but Hai Dashao couldn't wait for these grinding things, so he asked: "Miss Jiang, didn't you come here to find Tie Zhongtang?" โ
Jiang Xiyi's hand stretched back, Tianshu took out a bamboo prayer post from his arms and gently put it in Jiang Xiyi's hand, and then the three of them saw Jiang Xiyi's hand lightly raised, and a burst of air broke sound, and a strong wind hit the door of Tie Zhongtang.
Tie Zhongtang rolled up the sleeve of his right hand and caught it, followed by Jiang Xiyi's words, she said: "This time, I have come to teach Your Excellency a high move!" โ
Tie Zhongtang took out the piece of worship that he was wrapped up, and it was clearly written on it that Jiang Xiyi, the owner of Taixuanzhuang in Hongmeng Peak of Kunlun Mountain, worshipped.
Tie Zhongtang has never heard of this place, and he has never heard of this person, but thinking that an unknown person is not necessarily a person without strength, Biluo Fuzhong is not known to the people of the rivers and lakes, but the martial arts are unfathomable, this Jiang Xiyi has already shown his kung fu with this hand, and it is also good.
Thunderbolt said loudly: "It turns out that Miss Jiang, you are here to find Tie Zhongtang?" โ
Tie Zhongtang thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "May I ask Master Jiang, how do you know where the Great Banner Gate is?" โ
Daqimen's whereabouts are erratic, few people know, and those who know where they are must be disciples of Daqimen, just before Yun Zheng returned, Tie Zhongtang guessed in his heart that Jiang Xiyi was following Yun Zheng all the way to find it, but although Yun Zheng was impulsive, Jiang Xiyi and his party were huge, Yun Zheng would definitely pay careful attention and get rid of them.
Jiang Xiyi said: "Zhu Zao told me that you are his good brother. โ
At this time, there was a sudden whistling sound in the temple, and when the sound ended, there was another person in front of Jiang Xiyi - an old man in purple.
This person is the Night Emperor, Jiang Xiyi saw that he was so light on his skills, and nodded secretly in his heart.
The Night Emperor asked, "Do you recognize Zao'er?" Where is Algae now? โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "I've just seen him, and I don't know where he is now." โ
The Night Emperor continued, "Where was the last time you saw him?" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "In my village." โ
The Night Emperor asked, "Where is your Zhuangzi?" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "Kunlun Mountain." โ
The Night Emperor smiled: "Okay, nephew, I'll go first!" โ
After saying that, the Night Emperor stood up, and in the blink of an eye the man was no longer in place, only to see him like a ghost, stepping on the grass, a gust of wind fell on the back of a horse, and after a while, no one was seen, only the sound of the horse's hooves could be heard.
Tie Zhongtang said to Jiang Xiyi: "Thank you Master Jiang for telling me this news." โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "You don't have to thank me, I see that this is very good, you and I will do it now, if I win, I need you to unload the sword for me." โ
Tie Zhongtang frowned and said, "But there is no sword now." โ
Jiang Xiyi had a trace of surprise in his heart, and before he could say anything, Hai Dashao asked, "Where is your sword?" โ
Tie Zhongtang said: "It has become a broken sword, and it has not been reforged." โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "You can give me the sword in the future, but if I lose, you can also make some requests." โ
Tie Zhongtang said: "I don't have anything I want. โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's okay, you think slowly, please make a move now!" โ
