At this time, it is late spring in March, and the branches of the pine trees on the cliff side are tender and green, which is beautiful. Huang Liang took a deep breath, and a fragrance of pine and bamboo entered his chest, cool and calm, indescribably useful.

Even if Tiantong didn't say what the name of that Dugu was, Huang Liang also knew that that person must be Dugu seeking defeat.

The spring breeze comes from the forest, blowing on people's clothes and bodies, but it is not as drunk as Jiangnan, even if it is a spring breeze on Kunlun Mountain, it is faintly cold.

After Jiang Xiyi nodded, Tiantong turned around and left, but after a while, he saw a person with a sword walking at the intersection.

One person is alone and seeking defeat, and a sword is his sword.

Ten years have passed since the last time we met, and he is still dressed in black, but he is not the same as ten years ago, very different.

He walked very slowly, step by step but very steady, and his steps were so heavy that he seemed to be able to step through the bluestone paved road, leaving a series of footprints. But his steps were very light, Jiang Xiyi saw that his feet were not dusty, almost floating on the ground, standing in the air, without a sound.

His clothes were much more plain than back then, almost twenty years ago, when Dugu Qiuwan came to her for the first time, when he was so arrogant that he couldn't even suppress the most low-key black clothes. Ten years ago, in the cold winter, Kunlun said goodbye, he was still dressed in black, and his aura was much more restrained than when he held the Qingguang Sword in his hand, but his body still faintly revealed a sharp aura.

See you again today, I saw that his black clothes were a little shabby, but not sloppy, his hair was a little messy, his eyes had lost the bright sword light, but his eyes were even clearer, his face was slightly bearded, his face was full of wind and frost, his brows were flat, and there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, he is obviously smiling, but it makes people feel that they can't see through it.

Obviously, it was spring at the moment, but he was dressed in autumn, and Huang Liang looked at it, almost wanting to sigh.

Jiang Xiyi looked at Dugu for defeat, and after his footsteps stopped, he said, "You are here." ”

Huang Liang was stunned when he heard Jiang Xiyi's voice, her voice was extremely cold, Dugu was like an autumn, Jiang Xiyi at this moment was as cold as deep winter, as long as the cold was entangled, there was almost no hope of breaking free.

Dugu seems to have entered a state of battle from the moment he stepped into this Zhuangzi, and when Jiang Xiyi heard the word Dugu, he was already waiting for the moment when he drew his sword.

Dugu first smiled, and then said, "Yes, I'm here." ”

Jiang Xiyi said slowly: "I thought that I would have to wait for you for another ten years before you came." ”

Dugu was stunned when he heard this, first puzzled, and then suddenly, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the mention of my predecessors in the Kunlun Mountains ten years ago, I'm afraid I would have to wait another ten years to come back." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Since you are here now, it is also very good, this time is the same as the previous times, I only need your sword, no matter what the result is, you don't need to come again." ”

Dugu frowned and asked, "Dare to ask seniors, why is this?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Because I'm going to die, even if you come, it's useless." ”

Dugu's expression was extremely stunned, and a pair of eyes like calm and waveless lake water, he looked at Jiang Xiyi with a painful look, and said, "Why did you die?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Everyone will die. ”

Dugu begged for defeat and said: "But you are dead, what should I do, who else can I look for in this world?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "If I don't die, what do you want me to do?" ”

Dugu first shook his head slightly, then nodded, muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what to say, took two steps back, stood still again, raised his head, and his eyes were calm again, which was faintly transparent, at first glance it looked like the sun falling on the surface of the lake, but when you look closely, you can see that the light seems to be a sword light.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyi said, "This is the last battle between you and me, it seems that you are ready." ”

Dugu smiled and said, "I'm ready." ”

Jiang Xiyi staggered his gaze, looked at the hilt of the sword behind him, and said, "You have switched to a wooden sword now?" ”

Dugu said in defeat: "At the beginning, I still used the iron sword, but after the internal strength grows, the sword used can become lighter, so that the wooden sword is like an iron sword, and the skill is shallow and deep, and it all depends on my own cultivation, as for the swordsmanship, it has come to an end." ”

Jiang Xiyi shook his head and said, "If you think that you are wrong to end the realm, and you are very wrong, the sword path is endless, at least no one knows what kind of realm this end is." ”

Dugu asked in defeat: "Even you don't know?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "I don't know, at least for so many years, whenever I think that I have entered the end of the sword, I can often encounter a breakthrough by chance, and I have never met a swordsman who claims to have entered the end, you also know that once a person knows, the less he will find that he knows." ”

Dugu first muttered: "The sword is the sword, I am me; The sword is me, I am the sword; A sword is not a sword, I am not a ......"

Then he asked, "What should the next realm look like?" ”

Jiang Xiyi shook his head and said, "You have to go and see it yourself, you can't ask others." ”

Dugu lowered his eyes, pondering Jiang Xiyi's words in his heart, and then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes staring at Jiang Xiyi's eyes.

Sword light!

The two of them just made eye contact, but they seemed to arouse Dao sword light!

Those invisible sword lights, Huang Liang on the side couldn't see with his eyes, but he could see with his heart, although he couldn't see the sword path, he felt the sword light.

Thinking of this, Huang Liang's heart was shocked.

These two people seem to be two swords, and their eyes seem to be the tip of the sword, like a sword out of the box at this moment,-for-tat.

Huang Liang involuntarily stepped back under his feet, as if he was not careful, he would be injured by the void sword.

Even if the two of them still haven't drawn their swords at the moment, it seems that the sword is in their hands and the move has been made.

At this moment, there was no wind in the air, and it seemed that even the wind was frozen by the cold air.

The silence between heaven and earth is somewhat terrifying.

The two men stood there silently, but seemed to have entered a life-or-death situation.

Even though Huang Liang had retreated, he could still feel the terrifying sword light.

He wanted to escape, but the blood in his veins gradually boiled.

He didn't know what he was thinking or what he was going to do.

Jiang Xiyi and Dugu Qiu were still facing each other, although there was no sound or action.

Huang Liang could only hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster, and could only feel the sweat slowly sliding over his skin from nowhere.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiyi and Dugu pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords at the same time.

The two of them still didn't stagger their eyes.

The style of Dugu's wooden sword is very strange, but Jiang Xiyi can understand it all.

His sword does not have a sword, which makes it lighter, faster, and more powerful; There is no scabbard, which means that the sword does not need to be unsheathed at all, he does not need a scabbard, and is always ready for battle; The hilt of the sword is wrapped with a layer of silk thread so that the hand can be held tighter when held on it, and it also absorbs the sweat oozing from the palm.

Slowly, the wind came again.

This wind is even soft, it seems to be able to contain a thing or something between heaven and earth, and even the moment it wraps around the sword, even the cold sword cannot break free from this soft wind.

Just when Huang Liang was amazed by the realm of Dugu's defeat, a dragon groaned in his heart.

The sword is unsheathed!

Unsheathed is Jiang Xiyi's sword!

A sword light that was brighter than the moonlight, but colder than the moonlight, flashed.

The wind swept the cold air and surged, directly blowing away the soft wind just now, tearing and twisting and integrating into itself, this wind seemed to have a magical power, cold to the bone, and in an instant, Huang Liang seemed to see the snowflakes in front of him, and the miserable white between the heaven and the earth.

A flash of black light!

Dugu has made a move!

In an instant, his sword changed!

It came quickly, and it was about to stab Jiang Xiyi in the blink of an eye, but it came very slowly, because Huang Liang also saw the sword path clearly.

This sword seems to be stabbed out casually, looking boundless and unorganized, fast and slow, slow but fast.

But the meaning of this is only understood by masters.

Suddenly, Dugu's wrist flicked, sword flowers filled the sky, and sword rain filled the sky!

Huang Liang couldn't see how many swords Dugu had stabbed out at this moment.

His heart tightened, his breathing stagnant, and he wondered how Jiang Xiyi would deal with this move, which seemed to have almost no countermeasures.

I saw Jiang Xiyi calm, her body swaying, the soft sword in her hand was swinging, the sun was shining on the sword, and what she seemed to be holding in her hand was not a sword, but a flying rainbow.

This rainbow is like the morning sun, but it only flashes by.

A sword pierced the sword rain of Dugu's defeat and shattered the sword flower!

Huang Liang didn't even see it clearly, and he didn't understand what kind of sword this was.

But Dugu understands defeat.

His hand hung down slightly, and the sword was lowered, and Jiang Xiyi's sword was once again pressed against his throat.

Just like the first time.

The same people, the same sword, the same position.

Dugu smiled and said, "I lost, I lost again!" ”

Jiang Xiyi put away his sword and said: "If there are still ten years, I will definitely lose to you if you come again, but in twenty years, you have already comprehended it, which is really rare." ”

Dugu shook his head with a smile, and said: "I am looking forward to defeating you, and I am looking forward to never defeating you, do you know that for so many years, I have only been defeated by your sword, but if I defeat you, I should find someone to defeat me." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "If there is a day, you can compete with yourself with the sword, for many years, I have spent this way." ”

Dugu said in defeat: "Okay! If there is a day, I will learn from you, but I don't want to have that day, it will be too ......"

Jiang Xiyi intercepted: "Lonely? But the sword was originally lonely, and it was just more lonely at that time, thank you for the sword. ”

Dugu Qiu Qiu smiled, nodded, handed the wooden sword in his hand to Jiang Xiyi, and said, "Thank you seniors for teaching over the years, say goodbye today, and see you in the future." ”

Jiang Xiyi took the wooden sword in his hand and said, "Say goodbye today, I won't see you in the future, I still won't send you, you can go." ”

Dugu clenched his fists again for defeat, and then turned around, and walked out step by step, he was full of depression when he came, but when he left, it was as if he had broken free of something, refreshing.

Jiang Xiyi looked sideways at Huang Liang and said, "In a few days, when you and your grandfather leave, you don't have to come to see me, and I won't send it, just leave by yourself." ”

Huang Liang opened his mouth, wanted to say something, lowered his head again, and replied yes with a fist.

Five days later, Huang Sheng followed Huang Liang and the others down the mountain, and Tianshu prepared two horses and dry food for the two of them, and watched the two leave.

Huang Liang held the sword that Jiang Xiyi gave him, and finally looked back, Jiang Xiyi really didn't come.

After seeing that the figures of the two people and two horses outside the village could no longer be seen, Tianshu and the others slowly dispersed, and they didn't know where to do things.

Jiang Xiyi picked up all three swords upstairs in the main hall, slowly went downstairs, and returned to the dark room.

Even after all these years, the stone table remains spotless.

After she lowered it with a sharp sword, a soft sword, and a wooden sword, the stone table glowed.

When the light dissipated, all three swords were gone, and two bottles stood on the table.

It was still a white porcelain vase, and an earthen-colored clay vase.

Jiang Xiyi raised her head and drank all the water in the clay bottle, and saw the picture of the place that should be her home again, different from last time, last time she saw just a bare house, this time, there are a lot of things and utensils in it, she is very familiar, but she can't tell whose thing it is.

After she had settled down, she picked up the white porcelain vase again.

When the lid was lifted, a chill hit my face.

After she drank it all, sure enough, there was another buzz in her head, and a warm voice sounded in her head.

What the man said was - "Strength and softness are combined, and the heart is calculated." The sword is out of the box, and he forgets himself. ”

After the voice dissipated, the stone table lit up with a soft light, telling Jiang Xiyi who the next person she was looking for was.

'The Sword of No Return'
