Chapter 7: Before the Howling Wind

In front of Ran Hanchuan were two teenagers the same size as him, both in their teens. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

One of them seems to have begun to develop, a little taller and stronger; The other one is thinner and smaller.

The sturdy young man had a square face and small eyebrows, and his expression was very arrogant; Another skinny teenager with a pointed face and willow eyebrows, his gaze was condensed, and he was very serious.

It can be seen that these two teenagers are very serious, "robbing".

The square-faced young man suddenly made a surprised expression and said, "Xiao Li, look, his face is black. ”

The sharp-faced young man nodded seriously and responded, "Yes, is this the legendary black charcoal face?" It's the first time I've seen it! ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, the black lines on Ran Hanchuan's face became more, and now, it is definitely the richest expression on Ran Hanchuan's face in three years.

"Xiao Li, look, why is his face so strange!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ran Hanchuan: "......"

Xiao Qing, who was squatting in the distance, watched this scene, and her little paw covered the wolf's mouth, as if she was laughing.

"Hey! Boy, can't you hear me? We are robbers! The square-faced young man suddenly reiterated this fact, and leaned the trumpet knife in his hand against Ran Hanchuan's neck.

At this time, Ran Hanchuan was depressed and stunned, wanted to laugh and cry, and was a little angry. Looking at the approaching blade, Ran Hanchuan's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out, and he picked up the long sword in the sheath behind him with his backhand, and smashed the sword with the sheath directly into the approaching single knife.

The blue and black scabbard long sword, I don't know its name, and it has never been unsheathed in Ran Hanchuan's hand, but Ran Hanchuan weighed it privately, and the weight of this sword is hundreds of catties, and what is even more amazing is that when it is used in his own hand, there is no sense of difficulty.

"Poof!" Ran Hanchuan slashed down with a sword, and the single knife forced by the square-faced young man was directly slashed aside, and the young man himself fell to the ground, and the tiger was in pain.

"Auntie, a chicken!" The square-faced young man scolded in his mouth, stood up, picked up the knife that fell aside, and beckoned the sharp-faced young man and said, "Xiao Li, the idea is pricked, let's go together!" ”

The sharp-faced boy nodded, and with the square-faced boy, he took the knife and slashed at Ran Hanchuan. Ran Hanchuan boasted that his arm strength was outstanding, and the mysterious blue and black scabbard long sword in his hand weighed more than a hundred catties. With a sword, the square-faced young man knew how powerful Ran Hanchuan was, and he looked at the sharp-faced young man and kept raising his knife to slash, not giving Ran Hanchuan a chance to make a move at all.

Ran Hanchuan blocked the horizontal sword in front of him, and seeing that the two of them were attacking, they were in the middle of it. Ran Hanchuan has practiced the "Xingyun Sword Technique" for five years, which focuses on defense, and the posture he is putting on now is the fifth type - Hengyun Ferry, no matter how the two attack, Ran Hanchuan himself is immovable.

The offensive of the two teenagers was like a violent wind, endless, and Ran Hanchuan was like a cloud in the wind, although it was swayed by the wind, it was always condensed.

The sound of "ping pong" stopped for a while, and the two teenagers were panting with red faces, it seemed that they were tired of chopping,

"A thief mother, I'm so tired that I can't move." The sharp-faced boy scolded.

"The Wind Slaughtering Knife Technique taught by the Boss is obviously very powerful, but it doesn't work this time! It's so unreasonable! The square-faced young man gasped and said, suddenly turned his head, looked at the sharp-faced young man with surprise and said, "Where did you learn a sentence?" ”

The sharp-faced young man said as a matter of course: "Didn't the boss, a few days ago, rob a caravan from the northern capital!" I heard them scold like this at the time, and they were cut directly by the boss. ”

"I see! Grandma's thief! Dare to scold our boss, he deserves to be cut! The square-faced boy suddenly realized.

Ran Hanchuan stumbled, almost fell, but was made to cry and laugh by the conversation between the two, and before he could speak, the sharp-faced young man took the lead in handing over a small wine jug, and said, "Don't fight, I'm tired, let's drink a pot." ”

Ran Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, he was still fighting for life and death just now, and now he actually invited me to drink? You can't be poisoning me, are you?

Seeing that Ran Hanchuan didn't react, the sharp-faced young man took a sip of his own and said, "You don't know how to drink?" ”

Ran Hanchuan coughed dryly and said, "This, I really don't drink, hehe, two brothers, please." As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

The square-faced young man also came over and said, "I see that you are quite capable of fighting, why can't you even drink wine!" With that, he also took out a jug of wine and poured it into his mouth.

The two teenagers sat down and rested by themselves, but they didn't care about Ran Hanchuan, which made Ran Hanchuan a little overwhelmed, he really couldn't walk, he couldn't stand, so he just learned and the two of them also did it and rested on the ground for a while.

The sharp-faced young man suddenly asked, "Brother, who are you?" ”

Ran Hanchuan said: "I'm from Nanyang." ”

The square-faced young man's eyes lit up, "Nanyang is here, grandma thief, there must be enough money on him!" Then he said to the sharp-faced young man depressedly: "However, we can't beat you guy, why don't we call the boss?" ”

Ran Hanchuan was startled, and immediately became vigilant, planning to subdue them first if these two people moved.

"Scare you, why are you so nervous! Ha ha! The square-faced young man looked at Ran Hanchuan's appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Let's solve our matter, so we don't ask the boss for help, if we can't win, we won't rob it!" ”

Facing these two people, Ran Hanchuan's heart was really up and down. Ran Hanchuan smiled, and roughly understood the behavior of these two people, and asked, "Who are those two brothers?" ”

The sharp-faced young man introduced: "Oh, we are all locals, it turns out that we are all from Manghu City, my name is Li Wei, and his name is Li Ming." ”

"Then why do you want to be a bandit?"

The sharp-faced young man Li Wei took a sip and said, "Do you think about it?" Li Ming and I are cousins, and our parents are both small businessmen in Manghu City, but last time a person from Beidu who claimed to be a bandit commander came to the north and had a dispute with our parents, so they were all killed! At the end, Li Wei's tone became extremely fierce, and Li Ming's eyes on the side also became fierce.

Ran Hanchuan listened, sighed, and said, "Why, those officers and soldiers are so hateful? ”

"You just know?" The square-faced young man Li Ming seemed to be a little excited, "Those so-called officers and soldiers, one by one, are powerful, and they don't treat people as human beings at all, compared to bandits, they are more hateful and hateful!" ”

The human race can be roughly divided into four regions, one is the southern region of the south, the area of the southern region can be regarded as the largest of the four regions, although Ran Hanchuan is now in the north of the southern region, but in the entire human territory, it still belongs to the south.

The northeast of the Terran territory can be called the "Imperial Domain". Because the entire northeast region is under the rule of the emperor of the human race. Speaking of which, the commanders of the Terran territory should all be classified as the emperor of the Terran Race, but the vastness of the Terran territory is really difficult to count, so except for the northeast "Imperial Domain", the rule of the other three regions, such as the Southern Regions, is relatively loose. There are six counties in the imperial domain, and one of them is the northern capital in Li Wei's mouth.

The people of the Northern Capital, Ran Hanchuan has seen a lot, there are often caravans from the Northern Capital and Nanyang City, the people of the Northern Capital are indeed more arrogant to a certain extent, relying on the people who belong to the Imperial Domain, they have a little disdain for the other three domains, although in Nanyang City, they will converge a lot.

The three chatted for a while, and they got acquainted with each other, and they were ready to part ways.

"Although the officers and soldiers are hateful, the bandits are not a good way out, why don't you two brothers do something else?" Before leaving, Ran Hanchuan asked.

"We don't know how to do anything, we love to dance knives and guns, so why don't we go to the officers and soldiers?" Li Ming sighed.

"Okay, then I won't say more, we'll meet again!"

"Well, I'll see you again!" Li Wei waved his fist.

Ran Hanchuan nodded with a smile and said, "No problem!" ”

After saying goodbye to the two, Ran Hanchuan continued to go on the road alone.

Li Wei and Li Ming glanced at each other, and Li Ming spoke: "He just said that he was going to participate in the entrance trial of Xuanyu Pavilion?" ”

"That's right!" Li Wei replied.

"So the five major sects in the Southern Regions will accept people again?"

"That's right!"

"I think what he just said is good, why don't we change careers and become disciples of the Five Great Sects!"

"Let's go!"

“……”

After speaking, Li Wei took the lead in heading southwest, and Li Ming hurriedly caught up and said, "Hey, where are you going?" ”

"I won't go to Xuanyu Pavilion, the one who spent the sword and sword first is not domineering enough!"

"And where are you going?"

"I heard that the sword technique of Yanlong Cave is very domineering, very majestic! I'll go there! ”

"But, I've heard it's hard to get there!"

"Then you're staying here!"

"Hey! Wait for me! Looking at Li Wei who was walking away, Li Ming hurriedly chased after him.

To the north of Fu Mang City, passing through two cities in succession, we arrived at the north entrance of Xiaobei. From here, to the west, it is the road to Xiaofeng Mountain and Xuanyu Pavilion, and the road to the northeast is to the northern capital of the Imperial Domain.

After bidding farewell to Li Wei and Li Ming, Ran Hanchuan walked for another three days to reach Xiaobeikou, and then walked west for another three days, and finally arrived at the "Chirong City" more than 20 miles away from Xiaofeng Mountain.

At this time, it was the season of Xuanyu Pavilion's apprenticeship, and the population in the city was considerable. Chirong City has a southern architectural style, with a hint of northern house characteristics. The whole city is not very big, compared to Nanyang City, it is a world of difference, and now the population in the city has increased suddenly, so it is extremely crowded.

Chirong City is the only city within a hundred miles radius of Xuanyu Pavilion, so there are often disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion who come to purchase some daily necessities. As a result, there are still many people in the city whose children are not strong enough, and they plan to open a side door for their children under the guise of stammering with the disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion, which is really a scripture that is difficult for every family to read, and it is not easy for them to be elders.

Ran Hanchuan came to an inn in Chirong City alone, but saw that the inn was already like a honeycomb, crowded with people. Ran Hanchuan may have been working in Zixuan Tower for a long time, and he also wanted to be quiet and quiet, but when he saw that the city was overcrowded, he was ready to sleep outside the city for the night.

To the north of Chirong City, on both sides of the road leading to Xiaofeng Mountain, there are forests, which is also in line with Ran Hanchuan's thoughts, he grew up in the mountains and forests, and has a soft spot for this kind of natural tranquility.

Ran Hanchuan was optimistic about a place, the ground was quite clean and refreshing, so he was about to rest here, and suddenly heard the sound of "crackling" wood burning nearby, looked up, and saw that just a few meters away from him, there was a middle-aged man, and a young man in his twenties were also resting here.

The middle-aged man looked very extraordinary, his appearance was completely handsome, his expression maintained a calm and indifferent appearance, and he quietly looked at the fire in front of him.

The young man next to the middle-aged man was also majestic and heroic, and he also sat quietly by the fire. There was also a snow-white kitten squatting beside the young man, but the kitten looked a little different from the usual cat.

Xiaoqing, who slept in the package behind Ran Hanchuan, was exposed on the wolf's head outside, his smart eyes suddenly opened, he jumped to the ground at once, and turned to look at the two middle-aged men, but what he looked at seemed to be the snow-white kitten.

The two also noticed Ran Hanchuan, and looked at it at the same time, and at that moment, Ran Hanchuan seemed to be in the water, feeling a strong sense of suffocation and oppression. This feeling was fleeting, and Ran Hanchuan quickly came back to his senses, recalling it as if he was dreaming at that moment, incredible.

The middle-aged man's gaze looked flat, but Ran Hanchuan's intuition told him that the person who had just brought him that feeling was this middle-aged man. The young man on the side also curiously took a lot of Ran Hanchuan and threw a hearty smile.

Ran Hanchuan settled down and said to the two: "This senior, this eldest brother, excuse me, can I rest here?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, very polite child, just sit down!" ”

The young man also smiled and said: "Little brother is casual, this is not my and my master's, so you don't need to be so formal!" ”

Ran Hanchuan also smiled and said, "Then I'll do whatever I want!" ”

"Is the little brother also here to participate in the Xuanyu Pavilion trial?" The young man asked.

"That's right! Is this big brother too? ”

"Haha! Look at me like this, my age has long passed the age of entry, so I didn't come to participate in the Xuanyu Pavilion entry trial! As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "You see that my master is here, where else am I going to apprentice?" ”

"Eh, hehe, it turns out that this senior is the eldest brother's master!" Ran Hanchuan said, and hugged his fist at the middle-aged man again.

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, glared at the young man again, and the young man sneered, and then fell silent.

The dusk is hidden, and the moon is empty.

Ran Hanchuan caught a hare by himself, and used a makeshift grill on the side to roast a hare with the aroma of overflowing, so that the two middle-aged men also moved their index fingers, and in the eager eyes of the young man, Ran Hanchuan also generously roasted two hares for them.

Speaking of which, the young man's method of catching the hare was also very simple, as if he looked at the snow-white kitten beside him, and the kitten seemed to understand what he meant, and slipped into the woods, and soon caught two.

Now is the time when everyone is sitting and chatting around the same fire after a full meal.

During the conversation, Ran Hanchuan learned that the young man's name was Broken Moon Han, and his master, the middle-aged man, was called Mu Ran.

Mu Ran didn't have many expressions, in short, in the short night that Ran Hanchuan was in contact, he either had a flat expression or a gentle smile.

Broken Moon Han is very talkative, and he talked to Ran Hanchuan from east to west, and almost all the things in the only thirteen years of Ran Hanchuan's life were pulled out.

The night was dark, and the people were quiet.

Looking at the flickering flames, Broken Moon Han looked at Mu Ran and asked, "Master, why did you take this opportunity to take me to Xuanyu Pavilion?" ”

Mu Ran said: "Xuanyu Pavilion has a good friend of mine, I'll take you there to see if I can let you learn something." ”

Broken Moon Han said disappreciatively: "Master, the techniques and martial arts you taught me are very powerful!" Why do you have to go to Xuanyu Pavilion? ”

Mu Ran looked up at the bottomless night sky, sighed, and said, "You know what? Those real immortal martial arts and martial arts are all in the high-rise pavilions of famous and decent families, and they are strictly protected by layers of guards. If you want to become truly powerful, not in me, not in the rivers and lakes, not in this world, but in the famous exercises that have been shelved! ”

Mu Ran's eyes seemed to have memories flickering, and Broken Moon Han also quieted down, not bothering his master, pondering these words by himself, and Ran Hanchuan also nodded again and again while listening, deeply touched.

"When I was young, I thought that what I created was the most suitable and best for me! But I later found out that no matter how hard you work, how talented you are, how can your lifelong accumulation withstand the thousands of years of profound heritage of those famous and decent families? And among those sects, how many amazing and brilliant peerless talents have been produced? Mu Ran said abruptly in his memories: "How ridiculous is the idea of vainly trying to subvert the top of the world by yourself!" ”

Mu Ran looked at Broken Moon Han and said: "So, I brought you here, don't be strong, the first thing you have to do is to absorb and learn from those famous families, and when you can integrate these essences one day, you will create your own most powerful power!" ”

Broken Moon Han heard the glint in his eyes flickering continuously, and even Ran Hanchuan was angry with a sense of pride in his heart.

Mu Ran calmed down, looked at Ran Hanchuan again and said: "Ran Hanchuan, you are still young, you hear these words, you can hear them, it's good if you can understand them, but please don't talk about them at will." ”

Ran Hanchuan nodded solemnly and promised: "Of course, I will never talk nonsense with others." ”

Mu Ran nodded and said, "If you can successfully enter Xuanyu Pavilion, it will be your opportunity, you have to take advantage of it." As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoqing again and continued: "At your age, there is a spirit beast by your side, which shows that you are also extraordinary, and you will definitely do something in the future, work hard!" ”

"Hmm!"

When the moon is in the sky, there is a thirteen-year-old child at night, and a young man, one is full of ambition, and the other is full of pride.

When many, many years later, when Ran Hanchuan remembers this memory, he will tell people: The broken moon cold at that time was really heroic, graceful, and very funny.

Perhaps in the memories of the cold moon many years later, this night is also a rare pleasant memory.
