10. Pound
Xue Yiren's courtyard is not as deserted as Taixuanzhuang, with six points of fireworks, but it is very clean.
That's right, it's clean, most of the swordsmen have a habit of cleanliness, Jiang Xiyi is like this, and Xue Yiren is the same.
In addition to the roof of Taixuanzhuang on Kunlun Mountain, there is no trace of snow on the ground, and at this moment, there is not a single fallen leaf in the courtyard of Xuejiazhuang outside Songjiang Mansion, and there is no trace of dust on the window lattice.
Xuejiazhuang was behind that forest, and after Jiang Xiyi and his party passed through the forest, they no longer needed to ask for directions, so they saw Xuejiazhuang directly.
There was only one courtyard here, and before noon had arrived, there were people at the door who were sweeping, and they all wore swords at their waists.
Unlike the overgrown weeds you see in the forest, even at this time of year, the front door is still quiet and quiet.
The sound of horses' hooves was extremely abrupt here, and the movements of the hands of the Xue family dealers who were sprinkling and sweeping paused, and they looked up in the direction of the forest and saw someone coming.
Jiang Xiyi saw that those people were all looking up at them, so he said to Tianshu: "Go up." ”
After Tianshu said yes, he tightened the reins on his hand, clamped his legs, and the horse under him ran faster and faster, and turned over at ten feet in front of Xuejiazhuang, led the horse to the door, and said to a sprinkler sweeper: "Excuse me, is this Xuejiazhuang?" ”
The sprinkler stood up the broom in his hand and said, "Exactly." ”
Tianshu hugged his fists and said, "May I ask if Your Excellency is a member of Xuejiazhuang's family?" ”
The guy replied, "Exactly." ”
Tianshu took out the previously prepared prayer post from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said: "The owner of my family has long admired the name of Xue Yiren, and this time he came to ask the world's first swordsman for advice, and I am tired of this brother, and I hope to report it." ”
This prayer post is not written on paper as it is today, but is engraved on bamboo and wood as it was in the old days.
After taking the post, Jia Ding took a look at it, and wrote Kunlun Hongmeng Peak Taixuanzhuang Jiang Xiyi to worship.
There are many legends in the rivers and lakes, as long as people are in the rivers and lakes, they cannot turn a deaf ear to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, even if they are in Xuejiazhuang.
Taixuanzhuang on Hongmeng Peak has disappeared for many years, not to mention that the owner Jiang Xiyi is even more nowhere to be found, recently there are rumors on the rivers and lakes that Taixuanzhuang has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, Jiang Xiyi went down the mountain again, this time all the way to the south, this Ding naturally knew the news, but he never thought of it, and never dared to think that the owner of Taixuanzhuang actually came to Xuejiazhuang this time.
This Ding raised his eyes again, passed through Tianshu's shoulder, and saw the team of people in white clothes and white horses behind him, although he couldn't see clearly against the light, he still saw that the leader was a woman.
The family hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, please wait, I'll go and inform the master first." ”
As soon as the family Ding turned around and entered the village, another person came out of the forest, and his body looked like a ghost, and his posture fell steadily behind the side of Jiang Xiyi's horse like light smoke, and walked forward as if nothing happened.
This person is Chu Liuxiang.
Jiang Xiyi cast a glance at the man and then retracted his gaze, "Fang is in the forest, didn't you say that you are one step ahead, why are you still behind us, are you lost?" ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly: "It's not enough to get lost, it's just that I waited outside the forest for a while, and I didn't see you, so I went back to the forest to look for it, and halfway through, I thought that you wouldn't be so slow, so I came out again, and I met you." ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded and said, "I see, in fact, you don't have to look for us, even if there are still people in the forest, we can deal with it." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled, touched his nose, and did not reply.
The group arrived at the door of Xuejiazhuang within ten feet and then dismounted and walked to the door, and after waiting for a while, the family Ding ran out, hugged his fists and bowed to everyone and said: "I don't know which one is Jiang Xiyi, the owner of Taixuan Village?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said slowly: "I am." ”
The family Ding looked at Jiang Xiyi with irrepressible surprise on his face, and blurted out: "Ah! The owner of Taixuan Village is so young? ”
Jiang Xiyi frowned slightly after hearing the words, very puzzled, she shouldn't be so old, does she have to be seventy or eighty.
Seeing Jiang Xiyi frowning, the family thought that she was displeased, so he pressed his body and said, "The villain said the wrong thing, I hope to bear with me, my master is invited, please come in with me." ”
As soon as the family finished speaking, other family members came forward and took the reins in the hands of everyone, and a long jade man in the team immediately rested a black object, which was placed horizontally on the horse's back, and it looked like a sack from a distance, and after he handed the reins to the family, he carried this object directly from the horse's back, and it looked as easy as carrying a bag of cotton.
And the family members who were close to him took a closer look and found that this was a person.
Then, not only did he find out, but several other family members found out, this is a person.
The person who went out to greet them asked, "Dare to ask Master Jiang, who is this friend carrying on his shoulder?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said coldly: "This is Xue Yiren's business, I will talk to him, you don't need to care." ”
The family Ding said slowly: "But Master Jiang, if you don't tell us, who this person is, we can't let you in, and you won't be able to see my master." ”
Jiang Xiyi turned his head to look at him, and asked puzzledly: "Xue Yiren has said that I am allowed to go in, but you just stopped me at the door, does this Xue Jiazhuang want to listen to Xue Yiren, or do you want to listen to you?" ”
This sentence pierced people's hearts, the face of the Ding family was light and light, Jiang Xiyi glanced at him, he felt as cold as the day when the snow melted, as soon as these words came out, his arm trembled unconsciously, stepped aside, and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, please let the owner of Jiang Zhuang in." ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded and said, "Thank you for this friend." ”
After that, fourteen people, led by others, walked into Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yiren did not come out, the man took the group to the back garden, and only then did he step into the garden, Jiang Xiyi saw an old man sitting under the tree in the garden at a glance, his face was clear, cloth shoes and white socks, a blue cloth gown on his body, and a pair of eyes were bright, so that people did not dare to force their eyes.
Xue Yiren naturally heard the footsteps, but he only heard the footsteps of one person, this person was the family leader who led the way, but the footsteps of this person alone were enough for Xue Yiren to judge that the visitor had arrived.
When he saw the prayer post, Xue Yiren's heart was calm for a long time, a trace of excitement arose, a person of his age, who would not know Kunlun Sword Immortal Jiang Xiyi, but he had never seen the owner of Taixuanzhuang himself, and then there was no shortage of swordsmen in the rivers and lakes who went up to the mountain to worship the mountain and ask for advice, but they never found the figure of Hongmeng Peak, and Taixuanzhuang became a puzzle in the rivers and lakes.
Some time ago, he had also heard the news that Taixuan Zhuang had returned to the rivers and lakes and Jiang Xiyi had gone all the way south, but he was no longer an impulsive teenager at this time, if it was in the past, he would definitely pick up his sword and go halfway to find someone.
Unexpectedly, the destination of the owner of Taixuanzhuang was Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yiren said slowly: "You are here." ”
This voice was low, and there was a faint authority in it, and when you heard it, you knew that this person was in a high position and was accustomed to giving orders.
Jiang Xiyi said: "I'm here." ”
Hearing this voice, Xue Yiren was taken aback, even though he had reached the peak of his qi cultivation kung fu for so many years, he still couldn't help but look back.
What he saw was a white robe, led by a woman.
Indeed, it is as said in the rivers and lakes back then.
But this woman is too young, young people can't believe it, Xue Yiren asked: "Your Excellency is Jiang Xiyi, the owner of Taixuanzhuang?" ”
Jiang Xiyi saw Xue Yiren looking back at her, so he looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I am." ”
Xue Yiren saw that there was a cold light in her eyes, which seemed to be the light of winter snow, and others unconsciously trembled when they saw it, and she had a cold sword aura on her body, and he felt a trace of the breath of a swordsman, and at this moment he had to believe that this person was Jiang Xiyi.
Xue Yidao: "I don't know why Your Excellency came?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "There are two things. ”
Xue Yidao: "I don't know which two things are." ”
"Yuheng, put people down." Jiang Xiyi first turned his head sideways, said to the man who was carrying the person, and then turned his head to look at Xue Yiren, "On the way to Xuejiazhuang, I passed through a forest and met a person in the woods. ”
Xue Yiren didn't look at the person who was put down by Yu Heng, and said, "What kind of person is it?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's a person who wants to kill me." ”
Xue Yidao: "What kind of weapon did he use?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Sword." ”
Xue Yidao: "If a person with a sword wants to kill you, then this person must not know who you are." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "He doesn't know who I am, but I know who he is." ”
Xue Yidao: "Who is he?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Not only do I know who he is, but even you may know who he is, because he said that his brother is Xue Yiren." ”
Yu Heng took Xue Xiaoren's hair covering his face to the back of his head at this time, revealing Xue Xiaoren's face, at this moment he had five points of viciousness and five points of panic on his face, and subconsciously wanted to pretend to be a fool to speak, but he was stunned and couldn't speak.
When Xue Yiren saw the man's face, he stood up from the chair, took two steps in the direction of Xue Xiaoren, and said, "I do know him, he is the younger brother Xue Xiaoren, but he ......"
Jiang Xiyi said: "Do you want to say that he is a fool?" But when he tried to kill me, he was very clever and sober, and I brought a witness, and he saw everything. ”
Chu Liuxiang took a step forward, hugged his fists at Xue Yiren and said: "In Xia Chu Liuxiang, I have heard the name of my predecessors for a long time." ”
Xue Yi said: "It turned out to be Chu Xiangshuai, it was said in the rivers and lakes that Chu Liuxiang never told lies, I don't know if it is true?" ”
Chu Liuxiang said: "I only said what I saw myself. ”
Xue Yiren nodded, looked at Jiang Xiyi, and said, "Do you want me to kill him?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's your business whether you want to kill him or not, I just brought him over." ”
Xue Yidao: "Okay, presumably this is the first thing." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Not bad. ”
Xue Yidao: "I don't know what the second thing is?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "The second thing is that I want something. ”
Xue Yidao: "What is it?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Your sword, the sword you use to kill, the sword that walks the rivers and lakes with you." ”
Xue Yiren's face sank, and his expression was cold.
The sword is even more important than his own life for a swordsman, and it is even more difficult to take his sword than to take his life, not to mention a swordsman like Xue Yiren, his sword is already more important than himself, and if you want to take away his sword, you can only take his life first.
Xue Yiren muttered: "You are also a swordsman, do you know what the sword means to a swordsman?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I know. ”
Xue Yidao: "Are you because my second brother attacked you, do you want my life?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I don't want your life, what's the use of my life?" ”
Xue Yidao: "Then what do you want?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I said, I only want your sword." ”
Xue Yiren didn't reply, he looked at Jiang Xiyi, his eyes were like knives, and suddenly the sword qi around his body rose, at this time, it was not yet in the cold winter, but it was as cold as the cold winter season.
Jiang Xiyi didn't speak, she caught Xue Yiren's gaze, her eyes were like a sword, Chu Liuxiang only felt that it was still a cold winter a moment ago, but this moment it was Kunlun in the cold winter.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Xue Yiren first lowered his eyes and said, "My sword can't just be given to you." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "This is natural, we can have a competition, if I win, I don't want your life, just your sword; If you win, I will die by your sword. ”
Xue Yiren raised his head suddenly, looked at Jiang Xiyi, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
