22. Preparation
Outside the Jianghu camp, Shen Qiu stood on a small hill, looking at the Yangtze River in the distance.
There were many flags and mist there, and although Shen Qiu didn't know how to look at it, he could still feel the aura of fighting and killing.
Even the water in the river has a hint of sonority, and soon, there will be a big war here.
And now, there are people from the rivers and lakes who have gone to the island one after another.
Not all the people in the rivers and lakes are willing to fight with the Northern Kou, some people are just here to join in the fun, to mix up the wanted reduction, and by the way to earn two dollars to spend, for these people, the attitude of the Southern Dynasty is also very simple.
If you don't want to go to war, get out.
For Ren Hao's sake, the Southern Dynasty did not embarrass them.
But if you want to get rid of wanted, you still want fame and fortune, don't even think about it.
In the past, I violated the law of the country, committed a crime, did nothing, and wanted to change my innocence and go home again, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
As for those who are dejected, in the eyes of a group of people in the rivers and lakes or ridicule or ridicule, the guys who leave the camp in a gray manner are not worthy of sympathy at all, and it doesn't matter if they walk the rivers and lakes and their martial arts are not successful.
But if you don't even have the courage to fight, then what else is there to do?
"Why are you so late today?"
On the hillock, Shen Qiu felt that there was someone behind him, so he turned his head and looked at Lin Huiyin, he said:
"Something delayed?"
"Hmm."
Lin Huiyin took off her hat, threw it aside, and drew her long sword.
She was not in high spirits today, so she didn't say much, and the sword head waved at Shen Qiu and said:
"Come on, keep talking. The seven-step Shadow Sword you used yesterday was quite interesting, did you learn it from the mountain ghost? ”
"Sort of."
Shen Qiu didn't take the sword, but grabbed a long sword from his hand, put his left hand on the wrist of his right hand, and the blade of the sword was obliquely upward, posing in a special swordsmanship starting style.
It was completely different from yesterday's seven-step Shadow Sword.
"What is this?"
Lin Huiyin blinked in surprise, and she said:
"New swordsmanship again? How much martial arts does Shen Qiu know? ”
"Much."
Shen Qiu said softly:
"Accompany you to practice every day, change one every day, I'm afraid it won't be the same until winter comes."
"Then why don't you use a knife?"
Lin Huiyin didn't step forward again.
What the master said today still had some impact on her, she looked at Shen Qiu, and said with a little annoyance:
"You're not me, you're using different swordsmanship to feed me and improve my swordsmanship. Do you feel sorry for me, that's why you want to do this? ”
"Not really."
Shen Qiu blinked, and as the wind blew his long hair flying, he said:
"Don't think about it."
"Then use a knife!"
Lin Huiyin raised her sword again, and she said:
"Or with your fists, didn't you just learn the Liangyi Divine Fist? Since we want to learn, let's get serious! ”
"You are impetuous, and you are not suitable for the use of force today."
Shen Qiu withdrew his sword and took a step back, he said:
"It's better to stop fighting."
"Let you come, you will come!"
Lin Huiyin stepped forward with a sword, and the Xiaoxiang Absolute Sword raised the sound of whistling wind, and came towards Shen Qiu's door, the latter raised his footsteps, moved his body backwards, and lightly dodged the sword.
In the sound of the bell, Shen Qiu saw Lin Huiyin's face frosty, and knew that this woman was angry in her heart.
He could only throw away the sword in his hand and put his left hand on the knife box behind his back.
"Wow"
The greedy wolf knife came out, and the frost sword qi flew away from the blade, swaying left and right in the air, and the three sword qi emitted bursts of beast roars, and they were crushed in the sword wind brought up by the Xiaoxiang Absolute Sword.
"Huh"
Shen Qiu's fingers brushed over the blade of the greedy wolf, and a trace of cold qi wrapped around the blade, and there was also a cold aura blowing around his body, rotating around his body at high speed like a whirlwind.
"Huiyin, be careful."
He said.
In the next moment, the wrong step forward, the blade that was pressed on the fingertip slashed out like lightning, and then there were several strange footsteps formed by the fusion of different lifts and verticals, and the bell hanging on the handle of Shen Qiu's knife.
Although it shook violently, there was not a sound at all.
"Bell"
A piece of land, in a blink of an eye.
The swords intersected, and several sword winds of the Xiaoxiang Absolute Sword were shattered by the cold blade, and in the three collisions, the blade pressed towards Lin Huiyin's neck.
Shen Qiu is in front, and Lin Huiyin is in the back.
The two of them staggered by, and on the blade of the sword, there was a high-speed friction fire, and the Xiaoxiang sword was interrupted before it could be deployed, but Lin Huiyin turned around and stabbed it quickly.
It was hurried and fast, and it had a bit of the momentum of a mountain ghost.
"Bell"
The blade of the sword was against the greedy wolf knife in front of Shen Qiu, and the ice chips flew sideways, but there was no shock, just like hitting the armor, Shen Qiu's hand holding the knife had no strength, only defending.
Not good!
Lin Huiyin's heart was shocked, a false move!
She immediately retracted her sword and retreated, slashing the long sword out a few times, wanting to force Shen Qiu back, but there were more than a dozen whistling fingers coming in front of her, and Shen Qiu's five fingers flicked, and there was Xuan Bing's finger qi coming towards her.
The Xiaoxiang Echo Sword brought out several clusters of sword flowers, shattering all the oncoming finger qi, and the cold air spread.
Just as the white smoke rose in front of him, and the greedy wolf knife had been returned to its sheath, Shen Qiu held his hands and stopped in place.
Seeing that he was no longer attacking, Lin Huiyin thought that Shen Qiu would let her again.
With a horizontal heart, he raised his sword and stabbed towards Shen Qiu.
The white long sleeves swayed behind him, and the corners of his clothes flew, and a sword light came to his face, with a whistling sword wind wrapped around his body, like a fairy in the wind, not like mortal dust.
There was a hint of appreciation in the eyes of Heluo Daxia.
When Lin Huiyin stepped seven feet in front of him, and the blade of the sword was only less than three feet away from him, Shen Qiu's fingers behind his back moved slightly.
"Smack, smack"
Two muffled sounds sounded in Lin Huiyin's sword-wielding wrist.
At this time, Xue Ji's true qi was running in her body, but it was like being injected into a yin cold qi needle, which made Lin Huiyin's wrist suffer from severe pain, and her true qi did not run smoothly, making her feet scattered a little, and the sword that stabbed Shen Qiu's cheek also wiped his face and stabbed out.
"Smack"
Shen Qiu's fingers hit Lin Huiyin's wrist, and his claws flipped over, and he handed over the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword, and in the swing of his wrist, the sword wind swayed, and a wisp of white blade fluttered against Lin Huiyin's neck.
A ball of true qi was sent out, standing like a wall of wind, causing her to stop in front of her.
"As I said, you are upset and irritable today, and it is not appropriate to use force."
Shen Qiu looked at Lin Huiyin, who was standing three feet in front of him, with his eyes closed, his head tilted, and his wrist clasped, and he whispered:
"I don't use a knife, and I don't let you, I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
Now do you understand? ”
"Just now, I obviously didn't have contact with you, how did that soul destroying claw hit my wrist?"
Lin Huiyin opened her eyes.
Being added to Shen Qiu's body with cold air to calm her down, she let out a sigh of relief, took the Echo Sword from Shen Qiu's hand, put it into the scabbard, touched her wrist that was still a little painful, and asked:
"How far has your martial arts been?"
"It's not as good as you."
Shen Qiu spread out his hands, blinked his eyes, and said calmly:
"It's just that you're bullying you for having little experience with the enemy, and as for the true qi of the soul destroying claw just now, it was punched into your wrist when the sword collided. Don't talk nonsense, it's my killer idea.
It's still far from being cultivated, but I've already comprehended some of the true meaning. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Huiyin nodded, she took a deep breath and said to Shen Qiu:
"Your martial arts are above me, you don't have to be modest, if you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid you're already at the top of the list, how long has it been? You've reached this level, Shen Qiu, could it be that you are a martial arts genius like no other? ”
"You should be the one."
Shen Qiu laughed, and with a hook of his hand, the sword that was thrown on the ground was grabbed in his hand again.
He re-posed the sword pose and said to Lin Huiyin:
"You have superb swordsmanship, but you have too little experience in fighting, you are all practicing in the sect, and you can't fight back between swordsmanship changes, so it's not good, before the big war starts, I want you to have enough experience against the enemy."
Lin Nuxia, if you are in a calm mood, let's start practicing today.
First with a sword, then with a fist, and finally with a knife.
And this! ”
Shen Qiu took off a bell from his wrist, threw it to Lin Huiyin, and said:
"Hang it on your wrist, practice every day in the future, when you swing the sword silently, when the swordsmanship will really be completed."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the boredom in their hearts had disappeared.
Two hours later, Lin Huiyin took the sword, dragged the heavy body, and went back to the camp, today's practice, Shen Qiu really had no reservations, although there was Xueji's mental method to warm the body muscles.
But the mental exhaustion cannot be wiped away.
But that's fine.
If you make yourself so tired, you don't have time to think about it.
"Master, I'm back."
Lin Huiyin pushed open the door, but saw the master standing up in a little panic, and on the chair next to her, the Ziwei Daoist was leaning there, looking unconscious.
"Ah, there are guests."
Lin Huiyin blinked, then retreated again, and she said to the embarrassed master:
"I'll go to Senior Sister Shuiyun's side to rest, Master, you are busy first."
On the other side, above the hill.
Shen Qiu moved his body, in the wind with water mist, after playing a set of Liangyi boxing techniques, he was very serious, his movements were slow and precise, and the Xue Ji True Qi and Shuo Xue Cold Qi were transformed and entangled, allowing him to have an air flow around him.
It's like dancing in the smoke, and the robe is quite wonderful.
"Demon Lord, how long will you have to hide?"
After Shen Qiu's last punch, he closed his fist and shouted above the hill, and in the next moment, a black shadow came from above, with the sound of whirring wind, Shen Qiu exhaled, and the two Yi Shen fists were lifted, and a punch was punched upward.
Xue Ji and Shuo Xue's two true qi erupted at the same time, supplemented by the explosion of three points of sacrifice, and actually made an empty explosion, and slapped the person who attacked above, and the true qi burst like a shock wave sweeping across the hillock.
The rolls are dusty and weeds are dancing.
On the boulder under Shen Qiu's feet, there were two more footprints several feet deep, and in front of him, the person who was beaten back flipped over and fell to the ground, and took a few steps back before he could stand firmly.
"Click"
Dressed in a parrot green robe, carrying a wolf stick and a small pigtail, Ai Dacha poked his head out of the rock above the hill, clutching a bunch of grapes in his hand, as if watching the excitement.
This product really likes to eat melons and fruits.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few months, you've really been reborn."
Ai Dacha squeezed his eyes, laughed, sat cross-legged on the edge of the rocks on the hill, and said to Shen Qiu:
"It's good to be able to block Lao Tzu's blow from the strength of the Heavenly Martial Guard!"
Shen Qiu ignored Ai Dacha's crazy words, his eyes were on the "Heavenly Martial Guard" in front of him.
Dressed in a moonlit white robe, with a beard, a light state, and a strange moon halo mask on his face, a pair of godless eyes can be seen in the mask.
Behind the man, he carried a long sword.
Ai Dacha jumped up, as if stepping on a ladder in the air, and landed beside Shen Qiu in a dashing manner, his left arm was very smooth, and there was no obscurity between movements, just like a real arm.
"How? Not bad, right? ”
The Qingyang Demon Lord smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Shen Qiu's shoulder, as if showing his proud work, and pointed to the person in front of him and said:
"This product is the most proud work of this demon lord in the past ten years.
He said that his name was Yuejun, and Lao Tzu also called him Yuejun. He also got a good Great Black Sky Evil Gu from his eldest sister, which could make him really in a state of half-life and half-death.
In front of him was a half-step heavenly list, and his strength did not decrease at all after his death.
With an improved mechanism added to the body, he is covered in copper skin and iron bones, and he can also operate true qi, which can be moved by himself or manipulated by Lao Tzu, which is much stronger than Xiuhe's inferior products. ”
"Well, awesome."
Shen Qiu stepped forward and touched that Yuejun's body, and like Xiuhe, most of his body was replaced and transformed, and a clockwork spring was also added to make the output stronger.
It is indeed much more powerful than the previous semi-finished product.
"It's just that I didn't think the Demon Lord would come."
Shen Qiu looked at Ai Dacha and said:
"I sent that letter, just casually, but since the Demon Lord is here, why don't you go to the side of the river, but run to the side of our righteous path people?"
"Hey, Lao Tzu is not happy when he sees that group of yin and yang weird guys."
Ai Dacha took a bite of the grapes, and while eating, he said:
"After Brother Zhang left, Lao Tzu had nothing to do with them at all.
It was you Shen Qiu who wrote a letter to Lao Tzu, saying that there was a bargain to pick up, and Lao Tzu had come all the way over, and those people in the Demon Sect begged each other bitterly, and Lao Tzu didn't bother to look at them.
Also, you Shen Qiu have always been free and free, do whatever you want, when did you become a person in the righteous path again?
Just like the ghost of the person you killed when you killed, do you still have the face to call yourself a decent person? I'm really going to laugh off my big teeth. ”
"Yes, there's a bargain, a big bargain."
Shen Qiu also ignored Ai Dacha's sarcasm.
What's there to be angry with a neuropath?
He and Ai Dacha stood on the edge of the hillock, looking at the island in the middle of the lake in front of them and the camp of the Northern Dynasty on the other side, and whispered:
"There are three on the Righteous Path Heavenly List, and it is estimated that there are the same number on the opposite side, there are seven or eight on the half-step Heavenly List, and there are small shrimps like me, and more than 100,000 people on both sides are fighting.
As long as the Demon Lord is diligent, isn't there a great advantage to take advantage of? ”
"Hehe, don't try to trick this demon lord into waiting for you."
Ai Dacha crossed his arms, sneered, and said:
"This demon lord doesn't help each other, if someone hangs up at that time, Lao Tzu will pick up the bargain again."
"Whatever you want."
Shen Qiu laughed, and he said:
"I invited the Demon Lord to come, just muddy the water a little, and didn't mean to use you, you are so smart, who can use you, do you say what I said is right?"
"Hehe, you are really a little knowledgeable, this demon lord likes an honest guy like you!"
Ai Dacha patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder, he grabbed his beard, and said with satisfaction:
"This time, I'm going to catch a few more, make a good puppet, and fight to Mocheng another day, and put that..."
Halfway through speaking, Ai Dacha's gaze suddenly shifted to his left arm.
A complicated light flashed in his big and small eyes, and he seemed to have lost interest in speaking all of a sudden, so he snorted coldly, didn't say a word, and disappeared out of the hillock with Yuejun.
"Neuropathy."
Shen Qiu watched Ai Dacha leave, shook his head and complained, and then refocused his gaze on the distant north shore, in the shadowy Northern Dynasty camp.
He couldn't help but think, there, now, what kind of thing is happening?
