Chapter 21: A Visit from the Deceased

Outside Jiulin City, there is wind and snow.

Although it is only November now, Jiulin City is an important town on the northwest border, located in a bitter cold place, and the weather has already turned cold.

Most of the travelers from the southern Central Plains could not adapt to this climate, and the soldiers guarding the southern gates were bored, and they often laughed at the thinness of the southerners.

At this time, two more travelers arrived, a man and a woman, two young men, dressed in rather thin clothes, but they were not bothered by the cold in the slightest.

The young man was dressed in a brocade robe and held a golden folding fan in his hand, like a noble son from a traveling family, but the girl next to him was silent, wrapped in a black robe.

The boy in the brocade robe looked up at the city sign of Jiulin City, and said to the girl next to him with a smile: "Miss Ye, Jiulin has arrived, why don't you let me find some friends to come over and wash the dust for the girl?"

The girl frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Du Gongzi, let's get down to business first, if we let that person get out, it won't be easy to find." ”

Du Gongzi laughed for a while, but he also nodded in response, and finally said: "I don't know what that person thinks, Yunshui Zhongsi?" Heh, is this afraid that others will not find him?"

The two of them walked briskly into the city while saying things that others couldn't understand.

......

Jiulin City is located in the northwest, due to geographical reasons, the influence of the four major factions in this place is weak, and there are a large number of large and small sects inside and outside the main city.

Lingyun Sect is one of such sects, since the death of the previous sect master, the entire sect has been getting worse, and the older generation of acquired martial artists have either died or left, and gradually only three or two cats and dogs remain.

Until the past two years, Lingyunmen has completely devoid of acquired martial artists, and the young sect advocate Wen who is over twenty years old has just completed the overflow of true qi, and he can barely be regarded as a quasi-acquired martial artist.

In this situation, Lingyunmen could only be supported by Zhang Wen and his sister Zhang Qiluo, so that the family business was not forcibly taken away.

It's just that just a month ago, I don't know what kind of shit luck this Lingyun Gate had, and I actually invited a peerless martial artist to serve as a guest secretary in the door.

That guest named Zhong Temple, arrived in Jiulin City a month ago, visited all the major sects for seven consecutive days, challenged all the strong people, and was undefeated from beginning to end, and suddenly became famous.

According to insiders, this Zhong Temple is invincible in horizontal training, and ordinary swords are not close to his body at all, and he is also proficient in body method, grappling, and boxing skills.

In addition to not using weapons, he is almost an all-round warrior.

At the same time, this Zhongsi Zhong hero claimed to be from Yunshui Villa, so after seven consecutive days of challenges, the name of "Yunshui Zhongsi" resounded throughout Jiulin City.

The warriors of this northwest border city couldn't help but sigh, the Central Plains is worthy of the origin of martial arts, and Yunshui Villa is not only Xu Wenjing, Situ Xing and other martial arts rookies, but also a random disciple who has such martial arts......

In any case, the addition of Yunshui Bell Temple allowed Lingyunmen to gain a firm foothold again, and even became a big force in Jiulin City in the blink of an eye.

This made some forces who originally coveted the foundation of Lingyun Gate very dissatisfied, and some people sourly said that the disciples of the Zhongsi Hall would definitely not stay in Jiulin for a long time.

Some people also began to spread rumors that the reason why Nazhong Temple was willing to stay was because Zhang Wen sent his sister out to try to have a relationship between the two sides, but all this seemed to have no effect.

Lingyun Gate is still as stable as Mount Tai, and Zhong Si has also lived a simple life after the initial seven-day challenge, and not many people can usually see him.

......

Inside the Lingyun Gate.

A young man paced slowly in a quiet courtyard, seemingly slowly, but in fact it was surprisingly fast, just a moment to walk around the courtyard, not missing an inch of land.

Then he began a new round of pacing, and the angle, distance, depth, and route of the steps were exactly the same as the first time, as if an invisible hand was manipulating all this.

"After the martial arts reach the master level, they are released with a trace of verve, and their effect is even greater than the martial arts itself...... It's worth spending a month to settle down. ”

Of course, this young man is Xu Xian, he came to Jiulin City under the pseudonym "Zhong Temple", and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

I think that when he first came to Jiulin City, he still had the idea of "catching" a few brave people and leaving, so he casually reported the name of "Zhong Temple", after all, there are two things in a martial arts from Yunshui Villa, and he still can't hide it from someone with a heart.

Unexpectedly, it backfired, and the waste wood in Jiulin City was not qualified to be captured at all, and more than a dozen sects were picked in seven consecutive days, but none of them were useful.

On the contrary, in the process of challenging all the way, Xu Xian's control over his own martial arts became stronger and stronger, and as his understanding deepened, he was not in a hurry to capture it.

Because he found that even these warriors who were not qualified to be captured at all, he did not win overwhelmingly, and quite a few of them fought relatively hard.

After all, the competition only divides the victory and defeat, and does not fight for life and death, Xu Xian's advantage of ten lives is useless, and if you want to impress the other party purely with martial arts, you can only rely on your true ability.

Xu Xian suspected that the capture of the brave may be based on his own strength, and the martial artists with too large gaps are not within the scope of capture, and this strength refers to hard power.

Such as true qi strength, martial arts level, etc., these all belong to the category of hard power, but what Xu Xian wants to improve now is soft power, which is the truth of sharpening the knife and not cutting wood.

At the beginning, in order to escape from Puyang, he not only improved several martial arts at once, but also spent 5 points of experience to break through Zhou Tiangong to an unprecedented situation.

After the breakthrough, Zhou Tiangong really had the effect of compressing the true qi, and with his own continuous flow of true qi, Xu Xian compressed the true qi twice in seven days, and then began to rush into battle.

It turned out that his decision was very correct, if it weren't for the day after tomorrow, the essence of true qi had changed, and he might really be delayed by Zhenmen Shi.

If you wait until the top martial artists of the two major factions arrive, I am afraid that there will be no Zhong Temple Zhong Hero in Jiulin City now.

But the sequelae of this is that Xu Xian's own understanding of martial arts is far from keeping up with his strength.

Now that more than a month has passed, Xu Xiancai has basically digested the previous harvest.

If Xu Xian and Situ Xing are allowed to pair up alone, Xu Xian is quite sure that he can take down the other party, defeat or even kill him.

With the master-level "Cloud Hand" and "Liuyun Step", it can be said that few of the descendants of Yunshui Villa can compete with Xu Xian, and the gap between the level of martial arts is particularly obvious.

Of course, except for Xu Wenjing, who has already betrayed her teacher, Xu Xian only heard about the feat of her cheap sister not long ago......

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong......"

Just as Xu Xian was thinking about it, a soft voice came from outside the courtyard, interrupting his thoughts.

Xu Xian turned around to look, a woman in palace clothes was walking in slowly, and came to him to salute Yingying, it was the person in charge of Lingyunmen in the real sense of the word now, Zhang Qiluo, the sister of Shaomen Zhangwen.

Outsiders only thought that it was the sister and brother who supported the entire sect, but in fact, a large part of Zhang Wen's mind was devoted to martial arts practice, and many trivial matters were handled by Zhang Qiluo.

Zhang Qiluo is indeed good-looking, and a little powder is a charming gesture, but since Xu Xian settled in Lingyunmen, Zhang Qiluo has been plain almost every time, and even deliberately pretended to be ugly.

Xu Xian knew that this little girl had probably heard the rumors outside, and she was afraid that she was really going to plot against her, so she didn't dare to ask directly, so she had to make some efforts in secret.

In fact, she didn't have to, because in Xu Xian's eyes, she just regarded Lingyunmen as a temporary foothold, and she wouldn't stay for long at all, and she was not interested in having anything to do with them.

However, every time he saw Zhang Qiluo's appearance, Xu Xian would want to tease her, so he smiled and said, "Why is Miss Qiluo visiting? I haven't seen a girl for a long time these days......

Zhang Qiluo lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, pursed his lips slightly, and said: "Mr. Zhong, there are two guests who have come to the door, claiming to be Mr. Your old friend......

"Old man?" Xu Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, he had a premonition that his peaceful days were coming to an end.
