63. Two picks up
In the rivers and lakes, there have never been many people who have achieved something in the way of the sword, so no one knows what kind of number this is, but at least everyone knows that to make a breakthrough on this road, it must take a lot of effort and go through countless hardships, and some people have just touched the door in their lives. Dugu sought defeat and said that if one day the way of the sword is completed again, he will come to Jiang Xiyi to fight.
Jiang Xiyi agreed, even she didn't know what day it would be.
But she was willing to wait, she wanted to know what would become of such a young man in a few years, if she couldn't, she would just go, whether it was here or back in the dark room and waiting to find the next person, it would be the same for her, it would be better to wait here for a few more years, at least she could decide that she would be able to go down the mountain once every ten years.
Spring goes to autumn, it is a few cold and summer, Kunlun snow is deep, and a group of people and horses break through the tranquility of the deep mountains and come all the way to the mountains.
Now many years have passed, there is no longer Liao and Western Xia in the world, the Jin State and the northern desert Mongolia rose, after Jingkang, the Song court moved south, Kaifeng also fell into the hands of others, even if many people have changed now, but what remains unchanged is that the war is continuous, and the people are not happy.
A few years ago, the Persian Ming Religion was introduced to the Great Song Dynasty, when the Song court was still in Kaifeng, and the war was tight, but the emperor ordered people to send troops to exterminate the Ming Religion because of his belief in Taoism. The Mingjiao followers had no choice but to gather in eastern Zhejiang to cause trouble, one of the reasons was because the Song emperor was ridiculous, and the other was that he wanted the government not to dare to oppress the good people.
Jiang Xiyi went down the mountain this time, and the scene he saw was very different from before, at least the tavern at the foot of Kunlun Mountain was gone, and the dilapidated earthen house was left in place, hiding a few shabby people who fled to avoid the military disaster.
Now Lin'an City seems to avoid the outside world in general, every household is weeping poplars, sheng songs everywhere, prosperous A in the south of the Yangtze River, the road is full of traffic and is not lively, a night West Lake is full of lights, a lively scene.
Jiang Xiyi thought of what he saw and heard when he was going all the way to the northwest, sighed lightly, and dispersed with the wind, and the sigh was crushed in the wind.
Everyone is gradually moving west, the weather is as cold as a day, the cold wind penetrates the bones, if it is an ordinary person, it is indeed difficult, but everyone has internal strength, not afraid of cold and heat, even if it is so icy and snowy, the group is not even a fox fur. After a few turns, the crowd went around several mountain peaks and came to a place full of weeds and trees. Jiang Xiyi was surprised in her heart, Kunlun was desolate and cold at this time, but there was such a place, which made her a little familiar and seemed to have seen it.
If it is a hundred years later, when it comes to the name of this place, she may have an impression, only because the name of the place is Sanshengao, which is the place where the Kunlun faction is established, when she came, the grass was like a brocade, and the fruit trees and flowers were fragrant everywhere, not as barren as today.
The terrain here is low, surrounded by high mountains, blocking the cold air and the call of the wind, and a few wisps of breeze are sent to everyone, very light and slow.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiyi heard a trace of other sounds mixed in with the sound of Konoha sent by the breeze, maybe for her, this sound is the main thing, and the sound of Konoha is something else.
Because it was the sound of the sword unsheathed.
Jiang Xiyi's head was slightly lowered, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyebrows tightened, she believed that she would not hear it wrong, nor would she feel wrong.
She looked sideways at Tianshu and said, "Someone is using a sword here?" ”
Tianshu nodded and said, "If the owner of the village heard correctly, then it is right, but do you want to go and see?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I'll go and see it in person, you wait again, you don't have to follow." ”
Everyone hugged their fists and said yes, Jiang Xiyi took a step, and in the blink of an eye, he was already three feet away.
There were indeed people in the distance, and one of them was indeed using a sword.
The person with the sword, dressed in black, Jiang Xiyi saw his back and felt a little familiar, and then looked at it, although he didn't see the front, he already knew that this person was Dugu seeking defeat. Jiang Xiyi's eyes rolled, and then looked at the person who confronted Dugu's defeat, that person was an old man with a white beard and white hair, with shabby clothes, a frosty face, and a lingering worry between his eyebrows, but a pair of eyes were amazingly bright, and his momentum showed that this old man had profound internal strength.
Jiang Xiyi no longer stood aside, just waiting for these two people to make a move.
The old man was the first to strike, only to see him mention it with his left palm, and make a move with his right palm. This person made a palm shot, and when he landed, his whole body was like a deep mountain, his bearing was dignified, indescribably good-looking, his palm power was even more powerful, the palm wind was fierce, and his body seemed to have almost no flaws.
Dugu cheered for defeat and said: "Good palm!" ”
The sword in his hand has been replaced by a soft sword, Jiang Xiyi nodded secretly in his heart, his realm has changed, he uses a soft sword, which shows that he is confident, his comprehension of the moves has reached the extreme, and above this, what he is asking for is already a change.
If he didn't make the slightest breakthrough or change, what Jiang Xiyi saw at this moment should be another Qingguang sword.
I saw Dugu seeking defeat and unleashing his soft sword, showing his offensive momentum, and slanting to the palm of the old man. His sword was faster, his shot was like a ghost, and his soft sword was straight like a light smoke.
When the old man saw his sword, his eyes lit up, and his palms slapped out an inch, so he closed his palms and jumped away, praising them: "Good swordsmanship!" ”
Then, the old man shouted: "Be careful! ”
Seeing that his palms were volleyed out in the air, a fierce palm wind struck, and Dugu's method of seeking defeat had come out, and his body moved, but he only looked at this palm wind. Then he raised his sword and rushed out, stabbing with his sword, the sword light was dotted, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, directly taking the old man's palm.
The old man originally thought that this trick would come out, and Dugu would definitely be defeated, but he knew that he was unharmed, but at this time, in amazement, his palms were staggered, one hand was a palm, one hand turned into a claw, one hand slapped his lower abdomen, and the other hand grabbed his left shoulder blade.
It turned out that when his two hands just overlapped, Dugu's sword penetrated the palms of his two hands, but he didn't know whether it was Dugu's defeat and a sword stab, or he struck his palm on the tip of his sword.
Dugu's eyes widened when he saw this, his sword momentum did not stop, the sword move was not accepted, he gritted his teeth and wanted to accept the move, but he really couldn't, this soft sword changed a lot, although the move was sharp, but it was not easy to control, and I saw the tip of the sword stabbing straight to the old man's chest.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, Dugu felt that his right hand was wrapped, and a faint warmth covered his right hand, followed by the force on his right shoulder, and a soft palm force pushed him back.
He looked closely, only to find that the breeze stopped in front of him and turned into a man.
After Jiang Xiyi pushed out a palm, he turned his palm into a finger, without looking behind him, his fingertips were like electricity, and after connecting a few acupoints on Dugu's body, he stabilized the soft sword with his right hand, saw that the sword body was no longer trembling, stood still, looked at Dugu and sought defeat, and said: "I thought that when you came to Kunlun, you should have the confidence to come to me, but now it seems ......."
Dugu was surprised when he saw Jiang Xiyi slowly turn around, he never thought that he would reunite with Jiang Xiyi here. This time he went to Kunlun again, he really wanted to go to Taixuanzhuang and meet Jiang Xiyi for a while, but now things had to make him helpless: "Now it seems that he is still not as good as Jiang Zhuang's master." ”
The old man shouted, his palms retracted, and he pulled the soft sword out of his palm, leaving a bright red blood stain on the sword. At this time, a child next to him came running and shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa! ”
After Jiang Xiyi raised his hand to untie the acupuncture points on Dugu's body, he took out a small tube from his sleeve, put it to his mouth, and blew it gently, and a clear sound of blowing bamboo instantly echoed in the col. Then there was a sound of horses neighing and the sound of horses' hooves, getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long for the thirteen swords of the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper to be counted here.
Dugu begged for defeat and said: "I was still thinking in my heart just now, it is said in the rivers and lakes that as long as Jiang Xiyi, the owner of Taixuan Village, goes down the mountain, there are thirteen swords by his side and never leaves him, but why are you alone here today, it turns out that they have not arrived yet." ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded slightly, looked at Tianxuan, and said, "Tianxuan, take a look at the injury for this old gentleman." ”
Tianxuan hugged her fists and walked towards the old man. Now the old man sat down cross-legged, his palms on his laps, as if he was healing his wounds, and a little boy beside him, his eyes were rippling, but he did not dare to touch it. Tianxuan looked down at the old man's palm, and saw that he only had these two injuries on his body, and it seemed that there were no internal injuries, so he said softly: "Old man, my owner ordered me to treat your injuries, and now there are plasters and bandages, if the old man has no internal injuries, you can raise your hand and I will bandage it." ”
The little boy hurriedly said: "Grandpa, grandpa, this sister said that she can treat your injuries!" ”
The old man opened his eyes slightly, looked at Tianxuan in front of him, moved his eyes, looked at Jiang Xiyi in front of him, and said, "Old man, thank you for the kindness of the girl." ”
He sighed and put his hands up.
In another place, Jiang Xiyi looked at Dugu and begged for defeat, and said, "I'm afraid you don't want this sword?" ”
Dugu showed a wry smile on his face, his wrist was forced, the soft sword was shaken, and the blood on the sword body was shaken off, and then he waved the sword, and after returning the soft sword to the sheath, he said: "Naturally, I don't want to, I don't want to use this sword well, and I hurt people, it's ominous, I can't use this sword, my predecessors have this question, do you want my sword?" ”
Jiang Xiyi nodded and said, "Since you don't want it, it's an ownerless sword, I took it, why not?" ”
Dugu said with a smile: "In this case, this sword will belong to the predecessor again." He held up the sword with both hands and handed it to Jiang Xiyi.
Jiang Xiyi also took it with both hands, and said: "I see that you dare to use a soft sword now, I know that you have improved, since your sword moves have been used to the extreme, why don't you forget all the moves?" ”
Dugu was stunned for a moment, and said: "I am now moving to the extreme, Fang Jue should seek change in stability, if I forget all about it, where should I go?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "How do you know that you can't win without a move?" The sharpness of the sword is unfavorable, whether it can win or not, it is not the sword, but the person, someone swings a sword, but it is mediocre, but the power is great, this is the truth. ”
Dugu asked for defeat and heard this, and kept muttering softly in his mouth, Jiang Xiyi didn't bother when he saw this, the old man got up and walked slowly towards Jiang Xiyi, and said: "In Xia Huangsheng, thank you girl for healing, but it's a pity that the old man has no long things, and he can't repay him, it's really embarrassing." ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "It's okay, it's just a gesture, but I don't know why the old gentleman lives in this barren place with his great-grandson in Kunlun now?" ”
Huang Sheng sighed and said, "This matter is a long story, my little great-grandson and I really have nowhere to go, so we have to be here." ”
Jiang Xiyi paused and said, "In this case, I want to invite the old gentleman to come to the door, I don't know if I am willing?" ”
Huang Sheng was stunned and said, "Girl, why is this?" ”
Jiang Xiyi said: "I see that the old gentleman has good skills and deep internal strength, I have always admired martial arts, and I want to invite the old gentleman to be a guest to discuss martial arts." ”
Huang Shang wanted to refuse directly, but he looked down at the great-grandson he was holding by his side, living in this wilderness was not a long-term solution, he could hold it, but his great-grandson couldn't, so he sighed again, touched his great-grandson's head, and said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you girl for your kindness." ”
Jiang Xiyi just wanted to reply, but after Dugu suddenly let out a long howl, he laughed and said, "The predecessor is right, he is right!" It's my stupidity! Thank you seniors, I will definitely go to Hongmeng Peak again in the future! ”
Jiang Xiyi turned around and looked at Dugu for defeat, at this time he had faded the last trace of youth and greenness, and his eyebrows had been dyed with a shallow shade of wind and frost, but his eyes were clear, the light was more abundant, and his body was straight, still like a sword. She nodded, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "I'll see you next day, I'll wait for you." ”
After Dugu hugged his fist at Jiang Xiyi, he turned around and left, walking very steadily step by step.
