9. Seven
What happened last night was blown away by the wind, and no one was injured or killed, except for a broken sword.
The inn where Jiang Xiyi and the others live is really not very far away from Xuejiazhuang, and it can't be considered very close, and they can reach it through a forest, but this forest is too big.
If you start from Xiuye Bridge, it will take you a night to get to Xuejiazhuang.
Jiang Xiyi gave an order, and the thirteen people of Nandou and Beidou turned over and got on their horses, and the running of fourteen horses brought up a piece of flying dust.
In the early morning, the sun is shining all over the ground.
In late autumn and early winter, the fresh sunshine is shining on the road where Jiang Xiyi and others pass.
The hoofs of the fourteen horses were still audible even from three feet away.
From the moment you enter the forest, there are so many trees and leaves on the road that you can hardly find your way, and it is not only the trees and fallen leaves that make people unable to find their way, but the weeds on the road are a foot high.
It can be seen that there are very few people who will come here.
Because after passing through this forest, it is Xuejiazhuang.
Legend has it on the rivers and lakes that even the cooks who cook rice in Xuejiazhuang can use a few swordsmanship, and the guards can be said to be all masters.
However, this is not the most terrifying and awe-inspiring part of Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yi's talent is the reason why people stay away from Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yiren broke into the name of a "bloody man" in the rivers and lakes when he was a teenager, happy to enmity and revenge, killing people like grass mustard, after middle age, the anger gradually faded, and now he retired to the forest, but it is said that after fading the dryness of his heart, one of his swords is even more superb, and the rivers and lakes say that the world's first swordsman Xue Yiren all admire and admire, because for so many years, he has never been defeated, and because for so many years, no one can go through ten moves under his sword.
He is still the sharpest sword in the rivers and lakes.
What Jiang Xiyi wanted to take away was the sword in his hand that had been stained with countless blood and had never been defeated.
The weeds grew denser and the cries quieter.
Jiang Xiyi saw a person in front of him.
A thin and long man in black, he stood in place and stared at Jiang Xiyi tightly, full of disdain and hatred and shot towards Jiang Xiyi.
He wore a black robe that reached to the ground, and his face wore a mask carved from rosewood, revealing only a pair of eyes that were almost entirely dead gray.
The person who carved the mask was obviously a master, the facial features on the mask were lifelike, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a hint of a smile, but the color of this mask was red with purple, purple and blue, and then looked at it with those dead gray eyes, which made people feel an indescribable mysterious and terrifying feeling.
He carried a long, unsheathed sword.
Jiang Xiyi and the others restrained the horse at a zhang, and she was also looking at the black-robed guest.
Jiang Xiyi said: "You are here." ”
The black-robed guest said, "You know I'm coming?" ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded and said, "Of course I know you're coming, and I also know why you're here." ”
The black-robed guest said, "Oh? Tell me why I'm here. ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "You came to kill me." ”
The black-robed guest let out a dry laugh and said, "Very well, since you know that I am here to kill you, then give your life now." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Don't you ask, do I know who you are?" ”
The black-robed guest said, "Oh? Who do you think I am? ”
He looked at Jiang Xiyi, his eyes were full of indifference and disdain, indifferent as if he was looking at a dead person, disdain as if he was looking at a waste.
Jiang Xiyi said coldly: "It's not that I think you are, but who you are." ”
The black-robed guest smiled grimly: "Then tell me who I am?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's very obvious who you are, not to mention, we met yesterday." ”
The black-robed guest seemed stunned, and said, "We met yesterday?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Of course I did, you were still counting the stars on the wall at that time." ”
The black-robed guest said: "Count the stars, count what stars?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Even if you put on a mask to cover your face and change your clothes, do you know that there is a place on your body that you can't change." ”
The black-robed guest said, "What place?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's just your eyes, I have a good memory, I haven't forgotten your eyes, and naturally I haven't forgotten your name, Xue Xiaoren." ”
Xue Xiaoren suddenly laughed loudly, then sighed again, and then looked at Jiang Xiyi coldly again, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity ......."
Jiang Xiyi turned his head sideways and asked, "It's a pity?" ”
Xue Xiaodao: "I thought I underestimated you before, but I didn't expect that I not only underestimated you, but greatly underestimated you, since this is the case, ......"
Jiang Xiyi asked, "So what?" ”
Xue Xiaodao: "In this case, I have to kill you, you are a little girl who is only sixteen or seventeen is dying here, of course it is a pity." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "How do you know that you can kill me?" ”
Xue Xiaoren lowered his head, stared at the tip of the sword in his palm, and said slowly: "You will know right away, I can't kill you!" ”
As soon as Xue Xiaoren's words fell, thirteen 'bang' sounds came out at the same time, and the thirteen people of the Southern Dipper and the Beidou behind Jiang Xiyi pulled out their swords at the same time.
Seeing this, Xue Xiaoren sneered: "You bully more and do less, I'm afraid it's not in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes." ”
Jiang Xiyi said coldly: "Could it be that you came to kill me, and you are in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes?" You broke the rules first, why should I abide by them again. Swing the sword! ”
As soon as Jiang Xiyi's words fell, the thirteen people of the South Dipper and the Beidou behind her were not on horseback in the blink of an eye, but fell one zhang away, with Xue Xiaoren as the center, and the thirteen people each raised their swords to do an encirclement.
The swords in the hands of these thirteen people are different, there are long swords and short swords, but the same thing is that the swords in their hands all exude a kind of cold aura, which belongs to the cold aura of the sword.
Xue Xiaoren never thought that these people who followed the little girl in white would be such masters, he originally thought that these people's swords were just the same as those in Xuejiazhuang, but he never thought that these thirteen people had already practiced sword qi, but he still did not panic.
Xue Xiaodao: "Do you know that in the rivers and lakes, no one has ever died in the sword formation?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I know. ”
Xue Xiaoren sneered: "But you still put out a sword formation. ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Yes." ”
Xue Xiaodao: "Say, what is your name, since you are going to die under my sword, I naturally want to know what your name is." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "You are wrong, I will not die under your sword, but you will lose to me, but I will still tell you what my name is, because I at least want you to know who you lost to." ”
Xue Xiaoren said slowly: "Then what is your name?" “
Jiang Xiyi said word by word: "Jiang Xiyi." ”
When Xue Xiaoren heard this name, his hand holding the sword tightened, but before he could say anything, the sword array around him was already activated.
Suddenly the sword wind rose in the forest, and only the sound of hissing could be heard in the ears of Xue Xiaoren in the array, although the sword wind was urgent, but there was no sound of sword blades striking.
Xue Xiaoren had also walked in the rivers and lakes, he had naturally heard the name of the Taixuan Sword Array, but he never thought that he would one day be trapped in this sword array, and even after Taixuanzhuang disappeared for many years, he thought that the prestige of the Taixuan Sword Array was just the imagination of the people in the rivers and lakes, and it was just an exaggeration.
At this moment, he knew in the formation that the description of the sword formation by the Jianghu people was only one out of ten, and this was a sword formation that could kill.
The thirteen people cooperated so well that people couldn't help but applaud.
But the premise is, don't be one of the people in this array.
At this moment, the sword light of the thirteen people who formed the sword formation became denser and denser, and it really turned into a light curtain, and there was no loophole at all.
The breeze blows, and the leaves are bleak.
The net woven by this sword became denser and denser, and even gradually began to shrink, and Xue Xiaoren was the fish in the net, with nowhere to escape.
Looking from Jiang Xiyi's position, he saw that the sword qi was thousands of illusions, the sword light of the thirteen people flowed like lightning, and the sword style was even more instantaneous, Xue Xiaoren had no chance to think about how to change his move, and after he came up with a move, this sword formation sword style had already changed three styles.
At this time, the sword net contracted even tighter, and Xue Xiaoren was almost powerless to fight back.
The flowing sword qi suddenly condensed, staggered and cut at Xue Xiaoren, who had been forced into a dead end, and when the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out.
The sword fell, but it did not pierce Xue Xiaoren's chest.
When the thirteen people approached, they reached out at the same time and touched the acupoints on his body, and Xue Xiaoren couldn't move at this moment.
Jiang Xiyi fell from the horseback to the ground, but the fallen leaves on the ground did not move at all, and she didn't bring a trace of wind at all.
The sword was raised, and Jiang Xiyi's soft sword was unsheathed, pointing directly at Xue Xiaoren's face.
With a flick of his wrist, Xue Xiaoren's rosewood mask suddenly fell apart, and Xue Xiaoren didn't even have a single hair cut off.
Now Jiang Xiyi can see clearly that Xue Xiaoren's face, yesterday's funny is all gone, his eyes are full of coldness, and his face is full of viciousness.
Xue Xiaoren asked coldly, "Why didn't you kill me?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "No, why. ”
Xue Xiaodao: "Then why did you want to spare my life." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I remember you said that your brother is Xue Yiren, and I will spare your life to take you to see your brother." ”
Xue Xiaoren gritted his teeth and said, "Then you might as well kill me." ”
Xue Xiaoren wanted to self-exterminate himself very much, but his body couldn't move, his body meridians seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't lift a trace of internal strength, and he couldn't even do self-extermination.
Jiang Xiyi shook his head and said, "I will tell your brother all these things, and when the time comes, your brother wants you to die, and it will be your business." ”
Xue Xiaoren laughed and said, "Do you think my brother will believe you, I am his younger brother, and then I just need to continue to pretend to be that fool, and then there will be nothing left, and you will still die." ”
Suddenly, a Qingyue male voice sounded from the trees in the forest, and the man said: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes says that Chu Liuxiang never tells lies, so I don't know, what I said makes my brother believe it or not?" ”
When the end of Chu Liuxiang's words was still in the air, the others had already fallen on Jiang Xiyi's side.
Jiang Xiyi put the soft sword back into the sheath and asked, "I remember that you and your friends arrived in Jinling, why are you here now?" ”
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose, he didn't know why he came to Xuejiazhuang, when he first arrived in Jinling, Hu Tiehua mentioned to Gao Yanan that he met a swordsman on the road, she was going to Songjiang Mansion to find Xue Yiren, Gao Yanan mentioned how many people died in the hands of Xue Yiren, and then Chu Liuxiang left with an excuse.
When he stepped out of the boat, his feet were already unconsciously coming in the direction of Matsue Mansion.
Chu Liuxiang said: "I'm just here to see your competition with Xue Yiren." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "Then you are really a very curious person. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Yes, I am a very curious person. ”
