12. Heavenly demons extinguish
It's been a lot of events.
got acquainted with Dongfang Ce, had a fight with the Holy Fire Sect, killed a place leader, and his former friends had to break off with him and Qingqingen.
These things are not over, and Zhang Lan will still run to say.
Zhang Chu is here again!
Shen Qiu's eyes sharpened, he looked at Zhang Lan and said:
"Make it clear! What's going on? Your brother came to Suzhou again from the Western Regions?
How is this possible?
Didn't he command the Seven Peerless Gates in the rear and fight with the decent in Xiaoxiang Huainan? ”
"He didn't come himself."
Zhang Lan stepped forward, sat on a chair, and threw the letter in his hand onto the table.
The playboy seemed to be a little afraid, and his brother, who was already a little crazy, pointed to the letter in front of him, and said:
"But he sent someone and sent me a letter."
"Just sending a letter, and scaring you like this?"
Xiao Tie raised his head, while eating vegetarian food, he looked at Zhang Lan, and said:
"I heard my eldest brother say, isn't that Zhang Chu your own brother? Why are you so afraid of him? ”
"You don't understand, stupid boy. Which brother is as good as you and Shen Qiu?
Eat your food and talk less! ”
Zhang Lan glared at Xiao Tie.
Shen Qiu also spoke:
"Xiao Tie, you don't know the truth. If I had an elder brother like Zhang Chu, I would be as worried as our Young Master Zhang.
But Zhang Lan, what Xiao Tie said is right, it's just a letter.
As for scaring you like this? ”
"Faith is not the point."
Zhang Lan let out a long breath and said:
"The person who delivered the letter is the key, Zhang Chu's goods, sent the unlucky child who was worried about his life to deliver the letter!"
"Huh? Worrying about life, such a strange name. ”
Qingqing blinked, she leaned against her senior brother and said to Zhang Lan:
"Who's that?"
Xiao Tie also looked curious.
But Shen Qiu's expression became serious, he looked at the letter, and asked without a beginning or an end:
"He came with a knife?"
"Well, I guess I brought it."
Zhang Lan pursed her lips and said:
"Why don't you go tell Monk Mustard now and let him take precautions? If that unlucky kid goes crazy in Suzhou, it will be a big disaster. ”
"Read the letter first."
Shen Qiu pondered, his fingers on the knife box beside him, and he said:
"Zhang Chu can't be so aggressive, he came to Suzhou all the way to come to Suzhou without worry, just to go crazy, among them, there must be some things we don't know."
"Hmm."
Zhang Lan thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so she picked up the letter and opened it.
Qingqing, on the other hand, looked at her senior brother and talked to Zhang Lan like a dumb riddle, she had a feeling of being excluded from the small circle, so she pulled her senior brother's sleeve and asked softly:
"Senior brother, who is that worrying life?"
Shen Qiu glanced at Qingqing, and he whispered:
"But the evil sword master!"
"Huh?"
Qingqing's eyes widened suddenly.
The little junior sister likes to listen to the secret affairs of the rivers and lakes the most, and naturally knows what the name "but evil" represents.
She was in Luoyang before, and she saw the new list of rivers and lakes, and learned that the magic knife was reborn, but she didn't know who the owner of the evil knife was.
Now listening to what Senior Brother and Zhang Lan said, after Zhang Moxie, the second one is in charge but evil.
Actually a half-grown child?
Thinking of the legend about the evil sword again, Qingqing felt a little hairy in her heart.
Shen Qiu patted her head and said:
"Don't be afraid, he's my defeat, and twice!"
"Senior brother is amazing."
Qingqing immediately praised it, but Fuer pouted and said:
"What happened in the Battle of Suzhou? Senior brother, you are spitting and spitting, and you can't speak completely, always saying that you hide half and half hide. ”
"I'll tell you later."
Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at Zhang Lan.
The latter was reading the letter, and the expression on his face changed very wonderfully, and he didn't know what Zhang Chu said in this letter.
After a few breaths, Zhang Lan put down the letter in his hand, his expression was a little strange, and he turned his head to Shen Qiu and said:
"My eldest brother asked me to go back to the Western Regions, and he promised me that he would not harm my life, and he would let me reorganize the Seven Peerless Sects with him, saying that he was going to do a big thing and needed me to help him."
"Would you like to help him, then?"
Shen Qiu asked, Zhang Lan shook his head, and said:
"I've known since I was a child that Zhang Chu and I are not all the way, he... He has been domineering since he was a child, as if he was hiding a fierce tiger in his heart, and he is extremely arrogant.
The defeat in Suzhou was probably the most painful failure of his life.
But judging from the meaning of the letter, my eldest brother may have stepped out of the shadows, and he is still actively planning other things, and I can feel Zhang Chu's excitement through the letter.
Excitement that I have never had since I was a child. ”
The playboy pursed his lips, he looked at Shen Qiu and said:
"We defeated him in Suzhou and frustrated his arrogance, but it also seemed to release the tiger in his heart...
Shen Qiu, I'm really a little scared now.
I really can't guess what my brother, who has admired his father's prestige since he was a child, will do anything to revive the prestige of the Zhang family. ”
"We can't take care of it."
Shen Qiu looked at Zhang Lan, and he said seriously:
"Your brother is the master of the Seven Peerless Sects, one of the Seven Pillars of the Demon Sect, at his level, no matter what he wants to do, we can't control it now.
There is no evidence for this, and we can't even warn others. ”
"But he's already eyeing us."
Zhang Lan pointed to the letter and said to Shen Qiu:
In his letter, he said, let me thank you for him.
said that your knife made him see this river and lake clearly, and he also saw himself clearly, and he also said that he had abandoned Dacheng's greedy wolf knife technique and turned to Yeluo Killing Knife.
That was my father's supreme sword technique. ”
Hearing this, Shen Qiu showed a strange smile, he looked at Zhang Lan and said:
"He didn't threaten me? Or scare me with harsh words? ”
"Yes."
Zhang Lan handed the letter to Shen Qiu and said:
"He said he would settle his feud with you, but not now."
The curious Qingqing stood behind the senior brother, playing with his hair, and looked at the letter from behind, Zhang Chu's handwriting was really good, and he had practiced it with his heart at a glance.
However, the sharp-eyed Qingqing also noticed the envelope that Zhang Lan threw on the table.
"Senior brother, there are still words on the envelope!"
She said to Shen Qiu.
The latter picked up the envelope, and at the closure of the envelope, there was a line of small print.
But the writing is crooked, like a child's beginner, and it is worse than Shen Qiu's handwriting.
"In the middle of the night, outside the piano platform, on the hillock, carry the evil, wait for Shen Qiu, and compare the knife technique. Only about swordsmanship, no distinction between life and death.
- Worrying about life"
"This is a challenge book, senior brother!"
Qingqing's tone became excited, and she said to Shen Qiu:
"I've only seen stories like this in my books.
My senior brother is really amazing, and now someone has taken the initiative to send challenge books. But when people fight, they are both superior and inferior, and they are also divided into life and death.
This worry is lifeless, why is it still the opposite?
is only about the superior, regardless of life and death, is he afraid? ”
When Qingqing said this, Shen Qiu and Zhang Lan shook their heads at the same time.
Shen Qiu still remembers the three battles he fought with Wu Wu in the Battle of Suzhou, the first two times he won, and the last time he was interrupted by Lin Huiyin.
Although he had won twice, Shen Qiu didn't think that evil boy would be a person who was afraid of others.
The boy was not normal.
Abnormal in every sense.
The talent in swordsmanship is extremely high, and in the first battle with Shen Qiu, his sword skills were very poor, but in the third battle, he had already learned a little bit of the Autumn Wind Knife Style from Shen Qiu.
And the reason why Zhang Lan shook his head was another.
"You won't be afraid if you don't have a life."
The dude whispered:
"He has a flaw, or talent, and is born fearless, otherwise it would be impossible to resist the evil nature and become the master of the sword."
"Are you familiar with him?"
Shen Qiu looked at Zhang Lan, and he asked:
"You saw him in the Western Regions?"
"Hmm."
Zhang Lan nodded, and he said:
"My father disappeared in the fifteenth year of Zhengding, and he was brought back to the Seven Absolute Gate by my brother in the sixteenth year, when he was six years old, he was a beggar picked up by Zhang Chu in Broken Leaf City when he traveled to the countries of the Western Regions.
At that time, Zhang Chu had been trying his best to make himself in charge of the evil left by his father, but the magic knife was unruly, and he was never able to surrender.
I came up with a terrible idea. ”
Zhang Lan's face darkened, he paused, and said:
He couldn't control it himself, but he wanted to find someone who could control the evil and use both the man and the sword for himself.
Before I left the Western Regions in the nineteenth year of Zhengding, Zhang Chu gathered more than 300 people in various parts of the Western Regions.
The place was very chaotic, and no one cared about Zhang Chu's behavior.
The people he was looking for, including adults and children, were all gifted in martial arts, so he sent them into the Blood Demon Cave in an attempt to find out the laws of demonic nature.
Of the three hundred and seventeen people, only one survived.
It's just worrying about life.
It was because I found out about that incident that I had a big quarrel with Zhang Chu and broke with it completely, if my father was still here, I wouldn't want to see such a situation.
But to be honest, Zhang Chu really didn't force those people..."
Zhang Lan clenched his fists, and he said:
He just talked about the power of evil, drew a big pie, and some people who thought highly of themselves jumped into it.
Wu Wuming is a special young man, he has no fear in his heart, he will not be swallowed up by the demonic nature set off by the evil spirit, and he can also be afraid of the illusion of the blood sea of the magic knife.
I once heard Zhang Chu say that there is a rare heart in the world to ask for a knife. ”
"Ask the heart of the knife?"
Shen Qiu also narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Lan:
"When I was fighting the boy that day, he did keep saying that he could talk to the sword, and that he was his friend, and I just thought he was crazy."
"Anyway, Zhang Chu is definitely ill-intentioned to send a letter now."
Zhang Lan pursed his lips, he put the letter on the candle on the table and lit it, and said:
"Who believes his nonsense!"
"Senior brother, will you go to this competition?"
Qingqing looked at Shen Qiu with some concern, the latter thought about it, then looked at Zhang Lan, and said:
"How credible do you think it is to say that you only talk about the level of swordsmanship and do not hurt the lives of two people?"
"If the kid says it himself, it's absolutely credible."
Zhang Lan said without hesitation:
"I have lived with Wu Wu, and I know that the child is simple-minded, as if he is living in another world.
He doesn't lie.
But if there is Zhang Chu behind this matter, then I suggest you don't go!
Worrying about his life is not lying, and he has no thoughts of good or evil in his heart, but he trusts Zhang Chu very much, and he will definitely do what Zhang Chu asks him to do.
If Zhang Chu asks him to take your life in the name of the sword.
There will be no hesitation when the worry is dead. ”
"I'm going to go, I don't like Zhang Chu very much, but that kid..."
Shen Qiu glanced at Zhang Lan, he got up, put the knife box behind him, and said:
"But I don't hate him, I can't hate, and I have some pity.
He came in a hurry, and how could I let him go home in disappointment?
I also want to see how far his knife skills have gone in the past half a year.
The third battle between me and him has dragged on for more than nine months.
That's the end of tonight.
Besides, there are some too many coincidences in this world where there is no fate, maybe he can tell me what these Holy Fire Sect people think.
Even if that boy really wants to kill me, let's see if he has the ability! ”
"Big brother, I'll go with you!"
Xiao Tie also got up suddenly, picked up the giant sword box, and was about to leave with Shen Qiu.
Qingqing also wanted to go together, but was stopped by Zhang Lan.
The playboy looked at Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie who disappeared into the night, and he said to Qingqing beside him:
"Your senior brother dares to go to the appointment, because he has confidence in his sword skills.
Letting Xiao Tie accompany him is to believe that Xiao Tie can protect himself. Qingqing, do you have the confidence to protect yourself without interfering with your senior brother? ”
Qingqing's face suddenly darkened a little.
Zhang Lan smiled, he looked out the window, and he said:
"When I was a child, my father often told me that low martial arts are not a problem, nor is a weak foundation.
Qingqing, the 'strong' and 'want to be strong' are two completely different meanings.
Alas, it took too much time for my son to understand this truth.
Seeing that your senior brother has changed from the last to the best player, I have to catch up.
I can't let my brother look down on me all the time.
Qingqing, my four beauties can't be sent out left and right, and it takes a lot of effort to put them around, so it's better to give them to you. ”
"Shhhh
The relationship between Qingqing and Zhang Lan is good.
The little junior sister snorted, she clenched her fists, and said:
"If you want to practice martial arts, I will also practice it.
I don't have time to take care of your delicate little sisters, so you can keep it for yourself. ”
------------------
Beyond the piano platform, above the small [] mound, under the cold moon.
Shen Qiu, who had a ghostly face, fell outside the sorrowful and lifeless when the bell rang.
When the young man saw Shen Qiu coming, a smile flashed on his delicate face, extremely pure.
He doesn't say hello, he doesn't beat around the bush, and he doesn't waste time.
The left hand taps the knife magazine behind the back.
The evil red light fell into his hand, and the blood sea demon power surged, and the blood-red illusion rose, as if dyeing the cold moon above his head into a scarlet blood moon.
"But evil, the heavenly demons are silent."
Wu Wuming pointed the scarlet in his hand at Shen Qiu, and a hoarse voice echoed on the hillock.
Shen Qiu didn't waste any time.
The seven stars shook the light and the moon came out of the sheath, and the seven stars above the spine of the knife were reflected, the cold air fluttered, and the ice blade condensed.
"The seven stars shake the light, and the autumn wind blows the snow."
Shen Qiu also replied.
In the next moment, the two of them jumped forward at the same time.
The cold blades and blood blades staggered, and under the moon, they pulled out an arc of cold and blood-colored light.
The sword light surged, and the cold blade reflected blood.
It doesn't hurt people, it's just about swordsmanship.
The sea of evil blood blends with the sassy cold autumn night, outlining a killing chill.
Xiao Tie came a little slower.
Seeing that the blood-red sword light had broken through the sky on the hillock, he was about to climb up, but was stopped by a person flashing out of the darkness.
"Alas, young man, don't go up."
Yang Beihan, who was five short statures, jumped down from the tree, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and stopped Xiao Tie:
"Those two are gifted sword masters, and they compete with each other, and they can take a good measure.
However, if a third person is involved, this is not necessarily the case.
Let's just watch the excitement on the side, there is good wine here in this seat, and some peanuts, it is best to match this when watching the excitement.
Do you want to do some too? ”
