Chapter 35: The Dragon-Keepers
In the Su Mansion at the foot of the Yemaotai Holy Miracle Mountain, white candles and yellow paper art are piled up in the back courtyard. Su Huiying, who had changed into a white plain uniform, and her grandfather Su Jingshan and their disciples and grandchildren were worshipping. It turned out that today was the first anniversary of Su Huiying's father's death.
Su Huiying was kneeling in front of the incense case, her pink face covered with tears. Su Jingshan and his disciples and disciples also looked solemn and solemn.
At this time, outside the Su Mansion, dozens of black-clothed masked people quietly surrounded the surroundings, led by Qi Nan Yangzhi, who had received Su Huiying's sword during the day. I saw Qi Nan Yangzhi's gloomy face, his eagle eyes rolled, and he waved his hand to start attacking. The dozens of well-trained men in black quickly divided into three groups, one group to attack, one group to cover, and one group to guard the perimeter.
The first group of men in black were just about to cross the high courtyard wall, when several crisp bells immediately spread out in the silent night.
"Ahh There are organs, everyone is on alert, the first group is careful. Qi Nan Yangzhi said fiercely.
The first group of blacks who had already begun to attack, seeing that the mechanism had been triggered, immediately used the ninja body technique and turned over into the courtyard. I didn't want to just land, but I was hit by strong crossbows that shot from all directions, and screams came one after another.
Su Jingshan, Su Huiying and others, who were worshipping, heard that someone had triggered a mechanism to break through, so they immediately ended the worship ceremony hastily, and prepared their weapons to start preparing for battle.
"Ying'er, you immediately lead people to mobilize all the offensive and defensive organs in the courtyard, I'm afraid that your whereabouts during the day have attracted uninvited guests." Su Jingshan did not panic at all, and said in a deep voice: "Gui Sheng, you immediately send a signal to warn the peripheral forces in the village to quietly outflank. ”
"Yes, master!" Jin Guisheng, the first disciple of Su Jingshan, took out a fireworks bomb in his hand, and with a slight pull, a shining firework rose into the air, instantly illuminating the dark night over Su Mansion.
"Oh no, we've been discovered, hidden!" Qi Nan Yang saw that a fire was rising, and the first batch of black-clothed people who had launched an attack just now did not move at this moment, and his heart was not good, so he immediately ordered to change his whereabouts. In an instant, the surroundings of the Su Mansion and the courtyard fell into a strange silence.
Qi Nanyang secretly hated in his heart, but he didn't expect that his momentary lust would allow him to directly confront the mysterious martial arts people of country Z who had been repeatedly warned by the family elders not to provoke easily. But thinking about the humiliation he suffered during the day, the subordinates who attacked in the first wave just now were probably more than lucky, and now they are unwilling to withdraw like this, and they have become difficult to ride a tiger for a while.
Time passed quietly in the secret confrontation between the two parties.
Sun Feng, the mad bear who received the telegram order, thought that this was the first time that the chief artillery head had given him a task, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and after guarding the cottage, he personally led Sun Yue and You Delin, the two major artillery heads, and the most capable brothers under him, Jiang Yunping and his first special operations team, and galloped straight to Fengtian.
Sun Feng and Jiang Yunping rode their horses all the way before they entered Fengtian City, and suddenly received a telegram from Xiao Ran, and everyone hid their whereabouts and secretly rushed to the Holy Miracle Mountain to meet Mu Han.
When they had just entered the Sacred Miracle Mountain, they suddenly saw a shining firework rise, and everyone immediately stopped and hid their tracks.
After some thinking and struggling, Qi Nan Yangzhi finally defeated his impulse with reason. Without careful investigation, he acted rashly, except for the loss of a group of subordinates in vain, there was no gain, but now that he knew the specific location, he would have the opportunity to come again in the future. So he ordered the rest to wait and quietly retreat.
Mu Han stared coldly at Qi Nan Yang's line, he didn't expect that Qi Nan Yangzhi, in addition to his status as a special high class, was actually the representative of the Koga ninja family's forces in China. Thinking of the Anti-Japanese War period in later generations, many of the main battle officers and patriots of the Z** side died at the hands of the Koga ninja, and the murderous intent suddenly rose in my heart. So the masked figure flashed, and quietly followed Qi Nan Yangzhi.
Qi Nanyang and the pedestrians exited the sacred mountain area at a very fast speed. Soon, Mu Han's divine sense sensed that Sun Feng and Jiang Yunping were lurking not far away, so he immediately flew up and flew up, holding the Nine Dragons Minghong Knife and launched an attack on Qi Nanyang and his party, and shouted loudly: "Just Dongying jumping Liang clown, dare to come to my country Z to spread wilderness, leave it for me!" ”
I saw Mu Han's figure like electricity, shuttling between Japanese ninjas, and every time the knife rose and fell, the ninja fell.
Qi Nan Yangzhi was closely protected by several family masters, and when he saw that only one person was attacking, he couldn't help but be annoyed, "Eight Grid Yalu, it is simply too arrogant for one person to dare to attack the elite of my Great Japanese Empire." Shadow kill me! ”
"Hey!" Several ninja figures flashed out of the air, and they all attacked Mu Han. Mu Han secretly sneered when he saw that a ninja with higher skills made a move. When he was in Japan, he studied with the three major ninja schools of Iga, Koga, and Musashi, as well as the masters of the martial arts schools such as Yagyu, Kitachen, and Chiba. Naturally, the routines, body methods, and tricks of ninjas are clear. At the moment, with the speed of breaking the strange, the whole body is used to transport the power of the whole body, the whole body is as erratic as a ghost, and the sword in his hand kills frequently, but a ninja is cut down when he is close.
Sun Feng and Jiang Yunping saw a man in black rushing towards them, and were about to take a look, when they suddenly heard Mu Han's familiar voice coming, and immediately understood the situation in front of them. So the two looked at each other, and also led their subordinates to kill with lightning speed. Suddenly, the two sides were strangled together.
One side is in a hurry to run for his life, the other side is prepared to come and launch a surprise attack, plus there is Mu Han, a super master, to press the formation, the situation in the field is high, and dozens of Japanese black-clothed people have fallen to the ground one after another.
Qi Nan Yangzhi never expected that someone would rob and kill him halfway, and the strength of the opponent's men and horses was obviously much higher than his own, so he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't care about the life or death of the rest of his subordinates, and shouted: "Shadow cover retreat!" In an instant, smoke rose from the field, and several people disappeared.
"It's not good, it's poisonous in smoke! Get out of the way! Mu Han saw the yellow-brown smoke rising up, and immediately reminded everyone to pay attention. When Sun Feng and Jiang Yunping heard the sound, they immediately jumped upwind to stop breathing.
When the smoke cleared, except for the dozens of corpses of the black-clothed people on the ground, Qi Nan Yangzhi disappeared.
"Chief gunner, these are just small tricks of the Japanese, just to cover people's eyes, shall we chase or not?" Sun Feng asked.
Mu Han put the knife into the sheath and hid it around his waist, and after a little thought, he said: "Forget it, now is not the time to kill them all, I'm afraid that the other party still has a secret hand, even if he kills all the people who escape, the people of the Holy Miracle Mountain will also leak." Let's remind them to plan ahead! ”
While everyone was dealing with the traces of the fight and the corpses, Mu Han's divine sense felt that a group of people with good cultivation had quietly approached them, and immediately warned everyone to be on guard.
"Friend, thank you for your righteous action to relieve the siege of my Su Mansion!" At this time, Jin Guisheng, the first disciple of Su Jingshan, walked over, clasped his hands into fists and said loudly.
"Hehe, this benevolent brother is polite, the Japanese invaded my homeland, everyone was punished, and we did it easily. Besides, with your strength, even without us, I believe you will be able to sweep away the invading enemy! Sun Feng saw Mu Han's gesture and immediately spoke.
Jin Guisheng glanced at Mu Han, who was still masked, and said again: "Family teacher, I sincerely ask you to come and sit down in the mansion to show your gratitude, and please enjoy the light." ”
Sun Feng hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Yunping said: "Thank you for your hospitality, we still have something to do, so we won't bother!" ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from a distance, and before anyone could be seen, a woman's voice like a silver bell could be heard, "Wait, I'm afraid your purpose is the same as that of the Japanese, right?" ”
Mu Han looked at it and saw that the woman was the beautiful woman who taught Qi Nan Yangzhi and the others a lesson in the daytime, and immediately understood something, so he said loudly: "We came with the Japanese, but the purpose is to intercept them." But the girl was happy to take revenge for a while, which attracted the revenge of the Japanese! ”
"Who are you? How do I know how many Dongying fanatics I taught during the day? Su Huiying's face changed and she asked urgently.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you have planned to transfer it earlier, maybe the Japanese will retaliate more violently in the future, especially when their army comes, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, I am afraid it will be useless in the face of guns!"
"Humph! Don't be pretentious there, can the army of little Japan fight Mukden? Lying doesn't make a draft. Say, "Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to the Holy Miracle Mountain?" Su Huiying's face sank.
Mu Han saw that Su Huiying was still unrelenting, a little angry, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt a majestic momentum surge, and an old man with advanced cultivation appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Mu Han's heart was secretly dark, his brows frowned slightly, and he also lifted his whole body to breathe, and his body burst out with a more violent momentum to meet the old man.
Su Jingshan originally thought that with his cultivation in the early stage of innate and his strong internal strength, he would definitely shock Mu Han and the others, but he didn't want to, the cultivation of the young man in front of him was only higher than his own, and he was shocked, when did such a young innate master appear in the world, this is also too terrifying.
Su Huiying didn't expect that Mu Han could fight back under the pressure of her grandfather's momentum. couldn't help but raise willow eyebrows, and phoenix eyes were wide open. A delicate short sword strikes in an instant.
Mu Han was a little angry, he was kind enough to solve the siege and remind him, but unfortunately the other party did not advance, and pressed step by step. Especially when he saw the woman's short sword attack, Mu Han also stepped forward and used the six success powers in his hands.
One of the two is a family and mysterious family, and the other is talented and has adventures. For a moment, the sword shadow flashed, and the applause was thunderous. But the gap between the two in cultivation and skill was quickly reflected, Su Huiying was not inferior to Mu Han after all, although the moves were exquisite, but Mu Han was even more talented, integrating the essence of Wolong Mountain and foreign martial arts. After more than a dozen moves, Su Huiying's sword technique was ineffective, and Mu Han grabbed the flawed palm and swept the front chest. Su Jingshan saw that her granddaughter's move was afraid of defeat, and when she was about to make a move, she saw Su Huiying blushing and being knocked out of the way.
"Phew, you shameless man, my aunt and grandmother fought with you!" Su Huiying was so angry that she put all her strength on the sword, only to see the short sword thrown from Su Huiying's hand like a thunderbolt and went straight to Mu Han.
Mu Han saw that the woman's face was blushing, and he immediately understood that he only cared about retreating from the enemy, and forgot the sensitivity of the woman in this life to the chastity of the body, and he was unconsciously dismantling the enemy, but he didn't want the palm print to be clearly left on Su Huiying's chest. In the blink of an eye, the short sword thrown by Su Huiying with all her strength had already reached Mu Han's face, and Mu Han was still ashamed and stunned for his unintentional act just now.
"Brother Mu Han!" Less in charge! "The head of the gun!" Be careful! Sun Feng and Jiang Yunping couldn't help shouting when they saw that Mu Han was still stunned!
When Mu Han was distracted, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous and cold aura attacking him, and it was too late to think of a move to resolve it, and the Nine Dragons Minghong knife on his waist seemed to feel the danger of his master, and it automatically popped out at this moment, Mu Han subconsciously pulled out the knife and knocked it lightly, and a dragon-shaped knife shadow cut through the night sky like lightning, instantly knocking away the surging short sword. Everyone in the audience was stunned by the lightning and fire. Mu Han also silently held the knife in his hand, staring at this beloved knife that seemed to have telepathy with him, he was an atheist in later generations, and he had experienced too much unbelievable in this life.
"Nine, Dragon, Ming, Hong, Knife!" Suddenly, Su Jingshan had a strange face, his eyes were fixed on Mu Han, and he said in a deep voice word by word.
"What! Grandpa, could it be that what this disciple is holding in his hand is the Nine Dragons Minghong Knife? Su Huiying was also surprised.
"Who the hell are you? How can there be this Nine Dragons Ming Hung Knife? ”
"Who are you? How do you know about the Nine Dragons Ming Hung Knife? ”
Mu Han took off the masked black scarf, Su Huiying also picked up the short sword on the ground, and the two spoke almost at the same time. It's just that after the two finished speaking, a strange feeling surged in their hearts at the same time.
Mu Han looked at the woman in front of him, her skin was like clotted fat, her willow eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were bright and clear, as bright as stars, and a beautiful and vulgar atmosphere was indifferently revealed. Secretly discussed in my heart: Looking at this woman's temperament, she is not like an ordinary gangster.
Su Huiying also looked carefully at the man in front of her, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and a handsome face with a strong and deep contour like a carving, flashing with awe-inspiring heroic and resolute spirit, and secretly pondering in her heart: Looking at this person's dignified demeanor and righteous expression, he should not be a lewd person.
The time and space between the two seemed to freeze, Sun Feng, Jiang Yunping and others looked at each other and smiled, and quietly retreated from the surroundings to be vigilant.
"Uh-huh!" Su Jingshan also noticed the strangeness of the two of them, and coughed lightly.
Mu Han and Su Huiying came to their senses at this time, and they both blushed and took a step back.
"Can this young hero borrow the sword in his hand to look at the decay?" Su Jingshan said softly.
Mu Han carefully looked at the old man in front of him, and saw that he had silver hair, eyes and eyes, and although his body was slightly thin, Yinghua was restrained, strong and powerful, and his demeanor was calm, and he did not see the treasure hunting curiosity. So he handed over the Nine Dragons Minghong Knife in his hand.
Su Jingshan took the knife with slightly trembling hands, began to go up and down, looked carefully inside and out, and sighed halfway: "If it is really the legendary Nine Dragons Minghong Knife, God has eyes!" ”
"Oh! Does the old man know the origin of this knife? Mu Han sighed with emotion after seeing Su Jingshan carefully look at this Nine Dragons Minghong Knife, and asked.
Su Jingshan nodded and said slowly: "According to legend, the Minghong knife was the golden sword of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in ancient times, and the raw materials were still left. The Yellow Emperor thought that his spontaneous sword intent was too strong to counter the knife wielder. The Yellow Emperor was afraid that this knife would fall into the world, and wanted to destroy it with the Xuanyuan sword, but the knife turned into a cloud magpie in his hand, turning into a red and disappearing into the clouds. It is said that it was later obtained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and transferred to Dongfang Shuo. Since then, there has been no record in history. In fact, this knife later fell into the hands of a military general in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Iron Cavalry entered the pass, the general was killed in the battle with this knife, and the knife was obtained by the Iron Hat King of the Great Qing Dynasty and the Prince of Rui, Dolgon, who suspected that this knife had killed too many Qing warriors, so he sealed the knife and sent it to the royal arsenal. In the early years of Qianlong, there were foreign people from the open sea who came to the Qing Dynasty to sage, holding the meteorite iron outside the sky, and defeated countless masters. Who knew that this knife and the Outer Meteorite held by the Outer Sea Inhumans could never collide with each other, and the two finally injected their own internal forces into the knife and threw each other after the Outer Meteorite, but they didn't want the two to completely merge into one object and could no longer be separated. And the overseas stranger finally died of exhaustion due to repeated group battles. Qianlong Ye thought that there must be an anomaly in this thing, so he sealed it again, and then there was no news. ”
Mu Han, who has the thinking of two worlds, listened to Su Jingshan's narration, as if he had entered a fantasy martial arts world, and was amazed.
After Su Jingshan finished speaking, he respectfully returned the knife to Mu Han, "Young man, you are fortunate to obtain this knife, it is a great blessing!" I wonder if you can tell me how you got this knife and where it came from? The old man still has important things to ask. ”
"This?" Mu Han hesitated, and said in his heart: "Just now it was still aggressive, but now that I see this knife, it is very weird, and I keep asking the bottom of it, what is my intention?" After thinking about it for a moment, his heart moved: seeing that this group of people did not behave like gangsters, he knew a lot about the origin of this knife, but it seemed like a guardian snob in the Manchu royal family. Maybe he also knows the Nine Dragons Sword, so why don't I take advantage of the situation to find out! Mu Han didn't expect that his mistake would really solve the mystery of the Nine Dragons Sword.
