Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Mysterious Strange Thing in the Mountains
Lunch?
Everyone looked at each other when they listened, Xu You reacted the fastest, and gave a salute without humility or arrogance, and said: "We are passers-by who are passing by the mountain, if you are disturbed, don't be surprised, we will leave." ”
The man's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "How can Mingyu Mountain be approached by idle passers-by?" You are not telling the truth, is it easy to be an old man? ”
Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Don't dare!" We are indeed passers-by, but we were invited by the owner of this mountain to come to the mountain to be a guest for a few days. ”
It is said that this is already full of politeness and apology, and those who don't know are not to blame, and no one should continue to entangle. Unexpectedly, the man snorted, his figure flashed forward, and said, "The son is cunning! This place is forbidden by Guo Mian's vulgar things, whether it is passers-by or guests, who is brave enough to come here to play? Take it down and talk to it again! ”
Zuo Yan was already ready to attack, and the long sword flew out with a flick of his fingers, moving almost at the same time, not stabbing at that person, but stabbing at the inch in front of Xu You.
"Huh!"
The man was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect Zuo Yan's sword to be so wonderful. It seems to be pompous and useless, but it happens to cut off his path of travel, and it is the weakest point of the qi, with his skill, unless he gives up approaching Xu You, he can't ignore the power of this sword.
"The Pearl of Rice!"
The man snorted, his figure still non-stop, his long sleeves waving out of the sky, and then suddenly retracted into a point, right in the middle of the tip of the sword on the left.
Boom!
The soft texture of the splendid embroidery actually struck with the tip of the sword, making a sound of gold and jade cracking, almost breaking the eardrums of the surrounding people.
Zuo Yan spat out a mouthful of blood violently, and took three steps back to stabilize his body, but he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and knew that the most important thing for the two armies to clash was the momentum of not being afraid of death.
The man had arrived in front of Xu You at this time, and was about to reach out to grab it, when he heard the wind behind him, his brows furrowed, but he couldn't ignore it, a fierce color flashed across his face, and he was obviously really angry, his long sleeves were stretched out, and he rolled up a few pean-sized stones, and then he didn't look back, and his sleeve robe was raised high.
Pebbles fly!
Zuo Yan was shocked, the long sword changed from a knife to a regain momentum, and his wrist trembled rapidly, instantly pulling out countless sword flowers, continuously pointing on the stones!
Bang bang bang!
Each stone was hit five or six times in an instant, and then it turned into powder and drifted into the air. However, Zuo Yan was also repelled three zhang because of this, and he turned over in the air, just falling on the edge of the cliff, if there were a few more stones, maybe he would have fallen.
"Xiaolang!"
Seeing that the man had no resistance, his big hand was about to touch Xu You's clothes, and the autumn equinox appeared on Xu You's side, and his finger was like a knife, implying the power of the tiger roaring mountains and forests, and slashed at the opponent's chest.
The man didn't care at all, but with his eyesight, he naturally saw that the cultivation of the autumn equinox was not worth mentioning, at least it was far from the guy who used the sword. The long sleeves waved again, and the fingers that had just touched the autumn equinox suddenly let out a light sigh, and a layer of surprise floated between the eyebrows, and the incomparable strength contained in the sleeves melted like ice and snow, and then retreated ghostly, standing in the place just now, not a little more, no less.
These few rabbits jumped up, and in just the blink of an eye, Xu You didn't have time to stop it, seeing that the person retreated for some reason, but he didn't dare to be careless, his mind turned sharply, thinking of a way to deal with it, and whispered: "It's not hurt, right?" ”
Autumn Equinox shook his head blankly and said, "No ......"
She felt that the moment she touched it just now, the whole person seemed to be pulled into the rolling waves and the vast sea, and there was no room for struggle. Although he was standing intact at the moment, his legs were sore and weak, and his body was covered with bursts of cold sweat and fear.
However, even if she does it again, she still has to stand by Xiaolang's side without hesitation!
"Are you from the Yixing Xu family?" The man looked at the autumnal equinox and suddenly asked.
Autumn Equinox was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. He Wei is the best at figuring out people's hearts, and immediately caught the subtleties in it, stepped forward and said: "Yes, this is the seventh daughter of General Yixing Xu's Tiger Leap, and she was invited to visit this mountain. ”
"General Tiger Leaping? Oh, you said Xu Zi was that reckless man. The man thought for a moment and said, "However, I haven't heard that the Xu family has a relationship with the Guo family, and you are Xu Zi's daughter, why is this lowly maid dressed ......?"
Xu Zi is Xu You's eleventh uncle, and he is the most hot-tempered, so he has the nickname of "Tiger Leap", and of course, his cultivation is also one of the best in the entire Xu family. He Wei took him out to speak, just to use Xu Zi's prestige to shake the current situation.
"I don't know, my girl has an old relationship with Siniang of Zhan Mansion, not with Guo's family. As for the clothes, I came to Qiantang here, the road is far away, so in order to avoid the inconvenience of playing, I changed my outfit. ”
At that time, aristocratic girls wanted to go out to play, although there were not too many prohibitions, but after all, they represented the world and could not do whatever they wanted, so there were many cross-dressing trips, such as pretending to be men, pretending to be slaves, pretending to be scholars, etc., and so on.
"It turned out to be Zhan Wenjun's playmate!"
The man did not doubt He Wei's words, after all, there is only one White Tiger in the world, and others can't pretend even if they pretend. He waved his hand and said, "Old man give Xu a thin face, you guys go,"
"Thanks!"
He Wei clenched his fists, waited for Zuo Yan to come over from the edge of the cliff, stretched out his hand to hold it, and then turned around with Xu You and the others to leave. The man's voice sounded behind him again: "Wait! ”
Zuo Yan turned around suddenly, holding the sword in his hand, and made up his mind in his heart, even if he was defeated, he would desperately protect Xu You this time. The man smiled absently and said, "You are not my opponent, it is useless to hold back your strength!" However, I am not interested in doing it today, I just ask you to inform Zhan Wenjun that it is best to put more meat in the meal delivered today, the taste of your people in Wujun is too light, and it is almost necessary to fade people out of the bird. ”
Before the introduction of chili pepper into China, people mostly relied on mustard, ginger, garlic, tempeh and other things to spicy taste, Sanwu is an ancestral light taste, and Jinling because of the transportation of daily necessities from Sichuan and Shu, generally use Sichuan pepper to extract oil, the taste is much heavier.
"Don't worry, I'll tell Mrs. Guo when I go back!" He Wei's face did not change color, and he said goodbye.
Leaving the cliff waterfall, everyone seemed to be able to feel the man's sharp gaze swirling behind him, and when he turned a few places at the foot of the mountain, there was no possibility of chasing behind him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qi Yi, what do you think is the origin of this person?" Xu You first asked about Zuo Yan's injury, and knew that he was not seriously injured and could heal in a few days of recuperation, so he turned his head and discussed with He Wei.
He Wei said: "He has a majestic demeanor and luxurious clothes, and he should be in the top position for a long time, not an idle person." I guess he should be from Jinling, with an imperial capital accent in his words, but I don't know why he is hiding in a cave behind the waterfall, and it is not a day or two days, otherwise no matter how much news is blocked, he should also know that the Xu family has suffered a great disaster, and the reputation is no longer what it used to be. ”
Zuo Yan's face was heavy, and he said: "Fortunately, he doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape today under the pretense of the reputation of General Tiger Leaping." Ahem, ahem...... Guo Mian's financial resources are stronger than Wu County, but he didn't expect that even the mansion was full of masters! First the old servant in the old house in the city, and then the mysterious water dweller. The old servant didn't make a move that night, but forced the ghost hunting spirit officer Li Yifeng to retreat, at least to the level of the fifth grade. And this mystery guest, I can't even take his three moves, and it's likely that he has already entered the fourth grade...... cough, I don't know if there are such terrible masters inside and outside the Guo Mansion......"
"The people who can be on the nine-grade list are all one in a million, not to mention the little grandmasters who have stepped over the five-grade moat, and one or two occasionally appear, which is already terrifying and inexplicable, and there will never be a third." He Wei shook his head, his eyes sparkled, and said, "And, the most important point, Guo Mian has not yet been able to let the little grandmaster serve him, so the most likely place for this person to come is the ...... of the King of Jiangxia."
"King Jiangxia!"
Xu You thought about it, it is not impossible for the strength of Jiangxia King An Xiuruo to be under the crown prince, the crown of princes, and to raise one or two small grandmasters under his hands.
But with the respect of the little grandmaster, he must have personally protected An Xiuruo, how could he have traveled thousands of miles to Qiantang?
"It's just that I can't figure it out for a while, what is there important thing here in Guo Mian, and it is necessary for An Xiuruo to send a little grandmaster to guard it?"
He Wei paused, and said: "Qilang, this person is moody and cruel, although he listened to the fake identity of the autumn equinox and temporarily withdrew his hand, but we can't conclude from this whether he is friend or foe with the Xu family, and we can't take it lightly." It's best to find out his origin from Zhan Wenjun's mouth, and then make a plan! ”
The implication is that it is time for Xu You to sacrifice his hue again, Xu You resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said, "Let's wait for Zhan Wenjun to come back, it's no wonder that we strayed into the forbidden land." As for the temperament, I think this person is still measured, otherwise the wind tiger is afraid that he will fall off the cliff, which should not be considered cruel. ”
Xu You's martial arts skills were lost, but his eyesight and experience were still there, and he could naturally see the subtleties of Fang Cai's Zuo Yan when he fought with that mysterious person. Zuo Yan nodded and said, "Yes, if he makes a more decisive move, I will definitely not be able to retreat." ”
He Wei sighed and said, "Qilang, Fenghu, you are martial arts masters, and when it comes to martial arts, what you say is definitely not bad." But as the so-called authorities are obsessed, I don't know martial arts, but I know how to read words and looks, when he shoots, his eyes are by no means peaceful to stop, but bloodthirsty and ferocious. In my opinion, the reason why Wind Tiger was able to fall on the edge of the cliff was not because of this person's skill, but because he underestimated Wind Tiger's strength. ”
Out of the corner of Xu You's eyes, he saw Zuo Yan listening intently, his mind moved, and he understood the intention of He Wei to say this. The most important thing for a martial artist is confidence, Zuo Yan has always been tenacious, but he has never fought against a little grandmaster, so this battle is bound to have an indelible psychological impact on him. If you don't adjust it in time, it is likely that you will not make any progress in martial arts.
He Wei continued: "Actually, Fenghu doesn't have to be arrogant, you are already a cultivator on the sixth grade, and you are only one last bit of enlightenment, you can break through the barrier and go straight to the fifth grade, maybe there is a gap with that person, but it is by no means as big as you imagined." ”
"That's right!"
Xu You Zhengse said: "Thanks to his wing's awakening, Fenghu can force that person to stop twice, not to mention picking him up with three moves, it is not impossible to fight and lose both." Okay, let's not mention this in advance, and wait for me to communicate with Zhan Wenjun before making conclusions. ”
Zuo Yan didn't know why, his mind was suddenly not as heavy as before, he was not afraid of death, but afraid that he would not be able to protect Xu You, and he had doubts about his strength. Hearing He Wei and Xu You say this, they know that the two of them are the choice of the moment regardless of their wisdom and opinions, and they will not be wrong, and the confidence that was about to pass away has regained a little again.
Although she didn't know the intentions of Xu He and the others, she was used to the occasion and knew how to reconcile the atmosphere best, so she deliberately complained: "It's all the people of this Guo Mansion who are lazy, since it is said to be a forbidden place, why is no one guarding it?" Casual for people to come and go? ”
Since He Wei said before that she had Huigen, her attitude towards her has changed greatly, and she said with a smile: "I can't blame the people of Guo Mansion, if what I expected is good, it must be that person who does not allow Guo Mian to send someone to guard it." Comparing his heart to his heart, no one wants to be a caged bird or a fish in a pond, he must have to be trapped in the cave for some reason, and the only thing he can do is to make his life less like being in prison! ”
Lu Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, she kept Xu You's words in mind, this smile did not show a trace of charm and romance, she looked dignified and demure, and said: "He Langjun still sees it thoroughly, and the servant is stupid!" ”
As he spoke, he came out of the mountains, and the house in the distance was faintly visible, Xu You helped Zuo Yan to walk slowly, and suddenly said: "Qiyi, if there is such an encounter in the future, you can push me out, you don't have to let a little girl take risks rashly." If there are some things that even I can't solve, it will be in vain to let the autumnal equinox go! ”
He Weigong claimed that it was, and did not argue with Xu You. Although he is rebellious, he is not a fool, and he knows when to go-for-tat and when to bow down.
After all, he sees Xu You as a lord, not just a friend!
Falling at the end was the autumn equinox and the frost, and the autumn equinox carried the frost on his back with a hu bed, and asked in a low voice: "What does Xiaolang mean by this?" ”
"Well," said Frost Lift, "what did Xiao Lang say?" She had always called Xu You Langjun like Zuo Yan, but this time she called Xiaolang, who was closer to her after the autumn equinox. This little trick is not disgusting, but a little more cute.
Although Xu You deliberately avoided them, after practicing martial arts on the autumn equinox, his ears were smart, and he listened to it without losing a word, and repeated it, saying: "Sister, you are smarter than me, tell me about it." ”
Lushuang looked at Xu You's unusually tall back, although he was not strong, stretched out his slender jade fingers, and gently scraped the tip of his nose on the autumn equinox, and said, "I really envy you, there is a good master like Xiaolang." ”
The autumn equinox eyes flowed with soft water waves, and said: "Xiaolang is very good, but what does it have to do with this sentence?" ”
Lu Shuang leaned into the ear of the autumn equinox, and his thin red lips made a trembling whisper: "The situation was dangerous before, He Langjun saw that the person seemed to be quite jealous of the Xu family, so he pushed you out." Although it is likely to scare him, in fact, we did get out of it, but in case ......"
"What if?"
"In case that person has a grudge against the Xu family, I'm afraid that he will immediately let go of Qilang and deal with you specifically. In this way, Shichiro still has a chance to escape, and you, you must ......"
The autumn equinox sighed, and a happy color appeared on his face, and he said, "This way, that's really good." He Langjun is really powerful enough to come up with such a method. ”
Frost stared sideways at the autumn equinox, and after a while, he pressed against her side face and muttered: "Good sister, Xiaolang has a servant like you, which is also his blessing!" ”
