129. Chapter III
If Zhou Zhiruo's tragedy was doomed from the beginning, it was better to say that she was decided when she was noticed too much by the exterminator.
When the exterminator Tai cultivated Zhou Zhiruo as the fourth generation head, she was isolated by Ding Minjun, forced to do things against her will, and even blackened in the end, which became a natural thing.
She originally wanted to be mediocre, so that she could be an ordinary Emei disciple in peace, and she didn't need to face so many treacherous turmoil, and she didn't need to seduce Zhang Wuji, kill spiders, and blame Zhao Min for the sake of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Knife.
But she couldn't calculate anything, and on the day of the New Year of Mount Emei, someone would come to assassinate her.
For a moment, she thought that Zhou Zhiruo's abnormality had attracted the attention of a certain hunter, and she was about to eliminate herself first, and even the disciples of Mount Emei were spinning around in her mind, and she didn't have a clue.
Obviously, in this world, hunters don't need to fight, they just need to live themselves, and hurting people for no reason will only bring the consequences of Yan zhòng, especially in the eyes of the exterminator Tai, who protects the short-sightedness・・・・・・
I haven't found an answer yet, Zhou Zhiruo uses Emei's swordsmanship, it is extremely light between a pick and a stroke, and there is a faint feeling that the antelope hanging horns can be found without a trace, this set of swordsmanship is just an entry-level swordsmanship, Zhou Zhiruo is only skilled outside, at this time, the enemy's sword is in the body, she can't hide the slightest clumsiness.
I only felt that the martial arts of the person who came were very high, and she wanted to call for help, but before she could transport it in one breath, she was interrupted by the person's sharp attack.
The moonlight sprinkled into the house, but it was not enough to see the person's face clearly, only the cold light reflected by the long sword showed Zhou Zhiruo's danger, she didn't even notice the arrival of this person, if it weren't for the murderous aura leaked when this person made Zhou Zhiruo wake up, I am afraid that Zhou Zhiruo is already a dead soul under the sword at this time.
This person's offensive is fast and ruthless, everywhere is a resolute and sharp style, Zhou Zhiruo's internal force is attached to the sword body, and the sword is a little more ethereal, that's it, she still only has the power of self-preservation, the tip of the sword stabbed to the throat, Zhou Zhiruo's head turned sharply, the waist turned and lowered, and the left leg rotated backwards, the person easily avoided it, Zhou Zhiruo stabbed from the bottom with the power of rotation, and the long sword was handed out.
The man was not in a hurry, he was quite like a master, and he came first, and the long sword was like a silver sword, and with a "ding" sound, he actually cut Zhou Zhiruo's sword in half! The internal force on the sword was surging, which shocked Zhou Zhiruo's mouth numb, and the hilt of the sword was about to come out of his hand.
Before Zhou Zhiruo could retreat, the tip of the man's sword was against her throat.
Zhou Zhiruo was soaked in cold sweat, and the moonlight happened to be reflected on the man's face, and she suddenly shouted in shock: "Master! ”
That person turned out to be the exterminator.
The exterminator snorted coldly, did not put away his sword, and said: "Zhou Zhiruo, you deliberately concealed your martial arts, and your internal strength is so good, what are your intentions in mixing into Emei?" ”
In his tone, he actually regarded her as a spy of another faction.
Zhou Zhiruo immediately knelt down: "Master, the sky can be learned!" When I entered Emei, I didn't have any martial arts, and what I learned was taught by my masters and sisters on weekdays. ”
"Then why are you hiding it?" Extinction is Zhou Zhiruo's bones, but it is clear that what she said is true, but Zhou Zhiruo's kung fu has reached such a high level in just a few months, which really makes her not suspicious.
"Zhou Zhiruo was fortunate in three lives, worshiped Emei, apprenticed to the master too much, so martial arts on the way, never dared to have the slightest slack, these days the strength and martial arts progress rapidly, I heard the senior sisters say that this is a matter of water mill kung fu, so I secretly listened, and found that such a speed is not a normal situation, Zhiruo was terrified, so he didn't dare to show Xiàn out, thinking that he had gone astray, afraid of the master's punishment, so he thought about groping for a solution." Her body trembled, and she said, "Master, if Zhi Ruo is not deliberately concealing it. ”
Exterminator's face was much better, she withdrew her sword, and said, "I see that your martial arts path is indeed an orthodox Emei swordsmanship, and there is no deviation. She put her hand on Zhou Zhiruo's wrist again, "Your Emei internal strength is so hot, and I don't see anything wrong with it." ”
She was secretly surprised in her heart, but her doubts did not go away, and she said, "I will recite a mental method, and you will follow it now." ”
Zhou Zhiruo didn't dare to say more, only said "yes".
"His strength hinders my skin, and my will is in his bones. Support with both hands, and run through in one breath. The left is the left is empty, and the right is gone, the right is the right, and the left is gone・・・・・・ how much do you remember? The exterminator read it too much, thinking that he would need to read it two or three more times, but he never thought that Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "I remember everything." ”
"Then you can start exercising now." Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo remembered so quickly, the suspicion of her in the extinction heart dissipated a lot.
Zhou Zhiruo did as he said, only felt that the lower abdomen was warm, but the original internal force was constantly decreasing, but it was very pure, and after a while, the internal force as thick as the little finger flowing in the veins became as thin as a gossamer but very mild and very internal force, although the internal force was less, but the power was more than ten times.
She was very surprised in her heart, this should be Emei Jiuyang Gong, Jiuyang True Scripture is worthy of being the world's first-class internal strength method, just the incomplete version has such great power.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated and cultivated with all her might.
She completely forgot about the extermination master, and she didn't know that a trace of white qi gradually appeared on the top of her head when she was exercising.
The extermination is shocked, Emei Jiuyang Gong is a fragment of Jiuyang Divine Gong, and after being adapted by the ancestor Guo Xiang, the power is less than half of Jiuyang, and almost no one can practice to the realm of "smoke on the top of the head", I didn't expect this little disciple to have such a miraculous sign in the first practice, and the extermination master's doubts were gone, as if it was a pity for the heavens, and gave the Emei faction such a good seedling with extraordinary talent.
At first, she thought of the little disciple who just came last year, afraid that she would be homesick and wanted to come to visit, but she didn't know that Zhou Zhiruo's deep internal strength that she shouldn't have when she was lucky made her suspicious, so she tried to make a move. How could a grandmaster like her show a murderous aura when she sneaked up? Extinction also despises shì sneak attacks, but she takes the sudden attack on her disciples as a matter of course.
It wasn't until Zhou Zhiruo's vision when she ran Emei Jiuyang Gong that she completely calmed down.
"God really has eyes, my original designated heir Ji Xiaofu was killed by Yang Xiao, and God gave me a more talented disciple, I have to take a good look at her!"
Extinction's heart was settled, but Zhou Zhiruo didn't know, she ran for several weeks, and when she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright, and the exterminator was by her side all night.
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, the disciple is wrong. ”
"What's wrong with you?" Extinction frowned and said, "Don't kneel down for me at every turn, you are my disciple, not my captive." ”
Zhou Zhiruo was moved in her heart, and choked up slightly: "Yes, master." ”
"It's morning class time soon, and you come with me." When the exterminator said this, he really wanted to start cultivating Zhou Zhiruo, and the first step was naturally to let everyone know that "the exterminator thinks differently of Zhou Zhiruo".
If Zhou Zhi promised, but her heart was bitter, in the end, she still couldn't escape this fate, and the turmoil after a few years would still involve herself, this time, would it be like the original, there were no bones left?
As soon as she thought of this, she was firm, both come and be safe, martial arts is the first condition, and then the prestige of Emei, she doesn't want to be forced by Ding Minjun to hand over the ring of the head when she takes over as the head of the house like in the original book.
So after this day passed, everyone in Emei knew that the exterminator loved the little sister too much, and even ate at the same table, and handed over Emei's profound martial arts to Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo also seems to have changed suddenly, the junior sister is still the well-behaved and gentle little junior sister, but her martial arts are rising rapidly, and she has a bit of a master's temperament between her gestures.
Some people with pink eye have always thought that it was the extinction that opened a small stove for Zhou Zhiruo, and openly and secretly damaged Zhou Zhiruo's flattery and ill intentions, and Ding Minjun was the main force among them.
Since the two of them are in the same courtyard, Zhou Zhi can't avoid it, thinking of the care she once took care of herself, she also accommodated her a little, but there is nothing to say to other mean senior sisters, and the disciples don't leave a trace of affection when they learn from each other.
Ding Minjun didn't appreciate it, thinking that Zhou Zhiruo had robbed him of his position and felt guilty and didn't dare to face himself, but became even more jealous.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at the scenes that were similar but not exactly the same as in the original book, and felt helpless.
She practiced martial arts diligently, and she had improved quite a lot in just five years, and she was already able to stand alone at the age of thirteen, and the exterminator who saw it was very gratifying, and she was even more kind to her, but Ding Minjun hated Zhou Zhiruo even more.
By this year, the extermination master suddenly called Zhou Zhiruo to the room, and when Zhou Zhiruo pushed the door in, a total of eight senior sisters with outstanding martial arts were there, and they were a little stunned for a while.
"Zhiruo, your martial arts are not weak, but you are still young and have no experience in fighting people. In Emei, the senior sisters fight with you, it is not a battle of life and death, and your senior sisters also have a lot of concessions, this time I will take you to see the real rivers and lakes. ”
Speaking of the extermination master, it was completely the tone of cultivating the inheritor, and the other senior sisters didn't say anything, but Ding Minjun couldn't wait to say: "Yes, Zhou Zhiru, if you rely on the favor of your master, you have no mercy on the senior sisters, and the people outside are not as kind as us, and they are still accommodating you, you should pay attention to one point, it's better to die in battle, if you are tarnished, it will be in my Emei Mountain's reputation・・・・・・"
"Minjun!" The exterminator drank it too much, and Ding Minjun was immediately stunned.
Ji Xiaofu was fascinated by Yang Xiao, and even ignored the requirements of the master, but chose death, it was not painful when the exterminator killed her, but she was even more painful Yang Xiao, and thought that every qiē was Yang Xiao's mistake, it was Yang Xiao who led Ji Xiaofu's death, almost no one in Mount Emei dared to mention Ji Xiaofu's affairs, and only Ding Minjun, a person who knew the inside story, would be so unscrupulous.
However, what Ding Minjun said also has a little truth, thirteen-year-old Zhou Zhiruo already has a rather elegant and peerless appearance, because of his martial arts, his body is slender, and he is not much shorter than an ordinary teenager, this kind of appearance is not a good thing. The exterminator was too worried, but with a cold face, he urged the disciples to set off with her.
Along the way, hurry up, and when you encounter some Tartars who oppress the Han people or the Jianghu people who are doing misdeeds, the people of Emei will stop and "support justice".
Zhou Zhiruo was too forcibly pressed by the exterminator to play, she thought that Zhou Zhiruo's gentle temperament would not be able to bear it, but who knew that Zhou Zhiruo just recited a mantra, and the elegant and agile swordsmanship pierced the enemy's heart.
"Master, these people are doing evil, if they don't kill, more people will be harmed, and the disciple is willing to be a good person in the next life."
Zhou Zhiruo lowered her eyebrows and explained to the exterminator.
"When the disciple was taken to Emei by Zhang Zhenren, he saw many injustices on the road, and his father said that he learned martial arts in the hands of Emei women, and he must do the right thing for the sky, thank the master for giving the disciple this opportunity."
Saying this, Extinction was immediately greatly relieved, and intuitively felt that he had found an heir, while the other senior sisters were a shrunken, this little junior sister not only had swordsmanship□□ but also had strong internal strength, but also ruthless, in another three or four years, who would be her opponent in Emei?
Zhou Zhiruo is getting more and more confused, the exterminator is too busy, how could he come to Dadu? And let a few people do a good job of disguise, this is not the style of a tough exterminator.
On the second day after arriving in Dadu, the exterminator gave a few people some silver money and asked them to walk around the capital by themselves.
Zhou Zhiruo and her senior sisters are confused, are they just going to have a good time in the big city?
However, everyone did not delve into it, and when the exterminator needed them too much, they would naturally be recruited, so Zhou Zhiruo went to the street with her senior sister, Emei Mountain is a place of bitterness after all, although the senior sisters are old and serious, they can't help but be dazzled by the scenery of the capital, so they scattered at the moment, leaving only Ding Minjun by Zhou Zhiruo's side.
"Senior sister isn't going?" Zhou Zhiruo pointed to the senior sisters who stopped in front of the stall, but Ding Minjun said disdainfully: "How can you be so calm? Look at you, there must be a ghost, I have to follow you. ”
Zhou Zhiruo just didn't like the noisy environment, and seeing that this senior sister had fixed her posture, she shook her head and found a restaurant to sit in.
The restaurant is elegantly furnished, although it is a restaurant, but it is also very quiet, but it is with Zhou Zhiruo's temperament, Ding Minjun saw that she found a seat and ordered some tea and drank it quietly, quite boring, but if she wanted to leave Zhou Zhiruo and go, she was unwilling.
With his eyes swept wildly, Ding Minjun saw a child coming in at the door.
The child is dressed luxuriously, dressed as a Han man, although he has not yet opened, but looking at his eyebrows, he is a handsome young man, and his slight childishness is also made up for by his extravagance from the inside out.
"Ah Da Ah Er, I'm going to charter this restaurant." As soon as the child spoke, he caught everyone's attention.
This crisp voice is obviously a girl's baby, but the tone is not small.
Before everyone had time to laugh at her, they found that the two servant-looking people behind her had found a large piece of gold, and said in a deep voice: "Today, the little master wants to be quiet, so let's go." ”
Zhou Zhiruo also noticed the girl, and her heart moved, isn't it, Zhao Min?
If Zhou Zhi meets Zhao Min, there is nothing good, she should leave as soon as possible, and she has to get up immediately.
Seeing this, Ding Minjun immediately sneered: "The master teaches us to punish evil and promote good on weekdays, junior sister, did you forget all about it when the master was away?" Hmph, I just don't go out, what can they do to me? ”
Zhou Zhiruo's "senior sister" hadn't finished speaking, so the girl looked over and said with a smile: "Haha, there's still a hard bone here, Ah Er, abolish her for me!" ”
One of the two servants came out, and without saying a word, he grabbed Ding Minjun, although Ding Minjun spoke viciously, he still had some kung fu in his hands, after all, he had been on Mount Emei for more than ten years, she drew her sword out of the sheath and met Ah Er.
Zhou Zhiruo's heart tightened, and she also looked at the situation nervously, Ding Minjun couldn't be Ah Er's opponent, but she definitely couldn't watch her be deposed.
Sure enough, he couldn't make two moves, Ding Minjun was slapped on the shoulder by Ah Er, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, Ah Er wanted to continue to go up and attack and directly abolish Ding Minjun, Zhou Zhiruo had already raised his sword and inserted it.
Ah Er is half a grandmaster-level figure, and he only feels a lot of pressure against Zhou Zhiruo, but the girl is happy to hold her hands and watch it.
"The girl's skills are good."
After more than ten moves, Ah Er finally spoke, he did not hide the appreciation in his eyes, even if Zhou Zhiruo resisted very reluctantly and even fought back, but for a person of this age, it was already incredible.
"Looks like a genius." The girl smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with a sly light, and she said to Ah Er: "Since you are a genius, I will make a good fate, and I will let you go." ”
Ah Er heard the move and pulled the move, Zhou Zhiruo got a chance to breathe, hugged her fist at the girl and said, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." She looked like a fox at this time, Zhou Zhiruo was stunned in her heart, this look was so familiar.
Don't think about it, she was about to leave with Ding Minjun on her legs. Although she is taller than her peers, Ding Minjun is still much taller than her, so it looks like Ding Minjun is lying on top of her.
"Zhou Zhiruo, don't fake your kindness, you are friendly with this demon girl, even if I die here, I don't need your help, and I don't want to accept this demon girl's favor!" Ding Minjun was weak, but he was still unforgiving.
Zhao Min's expression was cold, and he said, "Since this old woman is unwilling to leave, let's stay." ”
Ah Er immediately grabbed it, Zhou Zhi had no choice but to swing her sword to separate her, she was already quite laborious with Ding Minjun, and her every move was a little sluggish at this time, "Little girl, my senior sister has no intention of offending, I'm here to accompany you・・・・・・"
"Huh." Zhao Min waved her hand, Ah Er immediately retreated, she approached Zhou Zhiruo step by step, Zhou Zhiruo frowned slightly, and still did not move half a minute under her feet.
"You're a good-hearted person, I'm afraid it's not to save this person." She shook her hand and raised a wicked smile, "What a hypocrite. ”
Zhou Zhiruo calmed down, now that Ah Da has not made a move, she will be difficult to parry, it is completely a situation where people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and Zhao Min is an unpredictable woman, I don't know how she will treat herself.
Contrary to Zhou Zhiruo's expectations, Zhao Min sat down in the position he had just placed and said, "My name is Zhao Min, what is your name?" ”
"・・・・・・ Emei faction Zhou Zhiruo." Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips, "My senior sister's name is ・・・・・・"
"I'm not interested in knowing the name of this old woman."
Zhao Min directly interrupted Zhou Zhiruo's words, and was called by an old woman and an old woman on Zhao Min's left, Ding Minjun was already angry, if it wasn't for Zhou Zhiruo secretly holding it, she would have rushed up and fought with Zhao Min.
"Since we exchange names, we are friends, I won't stay if you leave, and you can even let go of this old woman who is disrespectful to me, but you have to remember me well."
couldn't guess Zhao Min's thoughts, Zhou Zhiruo had no choice but to leave amid Ding Minjun's scolding.
In the restaurant, Zhao Min played with Zhou Zhiruo's teacup, similar to talking to himself.
"Use a dispensable person to exchange a favor for a genius disciple in the martial arts righteous path. Well, earned. Zhou Zhiruo・・・・・ what an unexpected joy. ”
Zhou Zhiruo took Ding Minjun back to the inn, the exterminator knew the reason too well, and each taught the two of them a few words, seeing that Ding Minjun was still chattering and slandering Zhou Zhiruo, Ding Minjun was stunned with a hard slap.
"I can't help myself. We must also do what we can to eliminate evil, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not to mention that there is your junior sister there, do you really want to do justice or are you jealous that Zhiruo's martial arts are higher than yours? ”
Ding Minjun didn't dare to speak.
According to the exterminator's short-term temperament, I was afraid that she would still have to go back to Zhao Min for trouble, but she waved her hand and said: "Let's write down the matter this time, we have more important things to do, you go to the Ruyang Mansion first, we will go to the Ruyang Mansion to get something tonight." ”
A cold light burst out in Extinction's eyes: "If you can kill that Ruyang King, it will also be a very happy thing." ”
