Chapter 44: The Sword and the Devil's Way
On the banks of the Great Wall, a small bazaar in the land of lawlessness.
The beautiful silver-haired, black-armored girl stood on the watchtower of the bazaar with her sword, jumped over at the young man sleeping on another watchtower, and launched the crescent moon slash in the air.
The young man who was pretending to sleep jumped up, dodged the String Moon Slash, picked up the sword in his hand and threw it at the girl, who also threw the sword over.
The two swords collided in the air with a piercing sword roar and bounced off, quickly returning to their respective masters.
The young man with the grass in his mouth fell to the ground, and the white-clothed fluttering eyebrows teased: "Ouch, little girl, so ruthless." ”
He frowned, "You're the sister of the armor, what's your name?" ”
"Moon Sword Princess, Luna, challenge the Blue Lotus Sword Immortal." The girl didn't have any displeasure, after all, they had only met a few times, and it was normal that they couldn't remember the name.
Originally, she planned to stay at the Great Wall, but she heard from her brother's comrades-in-arms that there was a place called Jixia Academy, which kept countless materials about the ancient demon path, and maybe there was a way to lift the family curse. Therefore, she left Jade City without saying goodbye to her brother, but she didn't expect to be lost in the desert.
She now plans to rest in the lawless land for a while, and then go to the Yumen Pass of the Great Wall to have a look, maybe her brother is there.
The Great Wall is so big, maybe they won't meet again this time, but next time, she must tell her brother that she will never leave him.
Li Bai untied the wine jug on his waist, raised his head to drink, and asked, "Come to think of it, why are you challenging me and asking for poetry?" ”
Opponents who fail to compete with him in sword competitions, he will write poems, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger, so there are more and more opponents looking for him to compete with swords.
“?” Luna didn't understand what he was saying, she just wanted to compete with him now, and as a fellow swordsman, she naturally wanted to compete.
Li Bai saw her expression and knew that she definitely didn't know, so he sat on the top of the tower and said discouragedly: "Okay, I haven't said this." ”
"Okay, please advise." Luna clenched her fists, and before Li Bai could react, she swung her sword and slashed at him.
"Uh~" Li Bai hurriedly swung his sword to fight back, "I'm also drunk~"
"The sword moves as you like." Luna and Li Bai are entangled together, and Li Bai is surprised by the girl's strength and gradually becomes serious.
The intertwined colors of silver, blue, white and red alarmed the leader of the horse thieves in the Outlawlands, but seeing the duel between the Demon Blade and the Sword Blade, he silently let his subordinates leave.
It was not a battle that ordinary people could intervene in, just beg them not to destroy the houses and shops, and it would take a lot of time to rebuild.
The sword collided again, Li Bai and Luna separated, standing on the rooftops on both sides of the street and looking at each other from afar, "Little girl, what are you doing so desperately?" It's going to damage your sword, by the way, what's the name of your sword? ”
A red light flashed in Luna's eyes, and she said, "The sword is used to challenge the strong." ”
"Oh, that's good." Li Bai raised his eyebrows, did these two brothers and sisters only answer the previous question?
He leapt into the air and swung his sword at Luna, "This time, let me take the lead." ”
"Look at the sword!" Li Bai unleashed the Qinglian Sword Song and lifted the roof of the inn where Luna was standing.
The shopkeeper and the diner were not afraid, and after the bookkeeper calculated how much he would lose, he sent them to the house of King Lanling.
"What about people?" Li Bai fell back to his original position, looked at the damaged inn, and thought that when the king of Lanling came back, he would scold him for eating and drinking and causing trouble for him.
Ah, what to do?
Eh~ It's better to put the responsibility on the little girl, King Lanling will definitely not go to find the armor, hehe~
Just as Li Bai was thinking, the String Moon slash hit him, and Luna rushed over.
Li Bai used a stroke of genius and dodged the attack.
In a cloud of dust, Luna plunges her sword into the earth and chants magic: "Come, Vermilion Blade!" ”
But, the sword was already pointed at her throat. Li Bai raised his eyebrows, it turned out, is it called the Vermilion Blade?
"Little girl, you're defeated."
"I see."
"Go on?"
Just as the two of them stood up, they heard a Sanskrit word.
"Amitabha, the two donors, can you stop fighting, the little monk is meditating and doesn't want to be interrupted."
The room on the second floor of the inn was damaged, and the bald-headed monk sitting on the bed was different from the monk he usually saw, he was naked, obviously a fist monk.
Li Bai obviously knew him, he took away his sword with a smile, and fell to the gap to tease him: "Master Bodhidharma, you haven't left here yet." ”
"The practice here is not yet complete, and when I finish it, I will leave." Bodhidharma kept his eyes closed and didn't look at him.
"Can you take a look at me?" Li Bai was about to reach out and poke his bald head.
Bodhidharma's expression was faint, but his voice was a little angry, "Please also ask the sword fairy not to play tricks on the little monk." ”
Li Bai was even more unscrupulous, "Your stubborn resistance makes me poetic." ”
"Secondary two is a disease that can be cured."
"Look at me, then."
"Don't look, the female donor is leaving, aren't you going to chase after it?"
Li Bai was unhappy, "Why should I chase her, she challenged me, and she failed." Also, how do you know she's a benefactor? ”
"I see her carrying a heavy fate, the fate of the Devil's Path." Bodhidharma didn't defend too much, but gave him the girl to leave the way.
"That's right." Li Bai seemed to have thought of something, and after shouting at the store to compensate according to the price, he chased in that direction.
He is not a person of the Demon Dao, and he has not accepted the inheritance of mechanical arts, so he stirred up the storm in Chang'an with a sword.
The Demon Dao comes from the miraculous power created by the super-intelligent gods, and the twenty-two families betrayed the gods to obtain such powerful power.
"Hey, wait." Li Bai catches up with the girl who is about to disappear around the corner.
The girl turned her head, looked at him with a firm look in her eyes, and said in a low tone, "You are very strong, it is me who lost." ”
Even if he is attached to the power of the demonic path, he doesn't
"It's okay, you're strong, your battlefield is at night, if it's at night, maybe I'll be defeated." Li Bai said comforting words on his lips, but he was sure in his heart that he would not lose.
"Thank you." With that, Luna turned and left.
"Well, won't you invite me to drink if you lose?" The market was full of people, and Li Bai asked Luna, who had her back to him, a few steps away.
Luna looked back, "If that's the rule, I'll drink it too." ”
"Okay, let's do it~" Li Baimei smiled, took a few steps forward, and took her to the wine shop at the mouth of the alley.
Luna's amount of alcohol is not good, she didn't drink much and was half drunk, she didn't drink, so she listened to Li Bai ask her about the power of moonlight.
Luna said, "It's not my power, it's a curse that our ancestors paid for betraying the gods. ”
"Cursed? Why? Li Bai was puzzled.
Luna sadly says, "My brother says we're shards of a miracle and we're going to be monsters one day." ”
"My brother bore the fate of sin for me, but he lost his memory and I don't know what to do."
She picked up the wine bowl, "Li Bai, you are well-informed, you should know how to recover your memory, right?" ”
Li Bai touched the bowl with her, "If you want to recover your memory, you will definitely be able to be stimulated once." ”
"Exciting?" Luna smiled wryly, it was impossible, her brother was stimulated too deeply to lose his memory.
Forget it, she'd better rush to Jixia Academy early.
Li Bai said: "By the way, do you know, General Hua, your brother's captain, went to Jinting City. ”
"I don't know, what's wrong?" Luna wondered, it had nothing to do with her.
"Others will go to their aid, and maybe you'll see your brother again."
"Understood." Luna was completely drunk, she looked at the sword beside her, and said with a determined look in her eyes, "I'm going." ”
Li Bai filled two bowls of wine, drank it all with Luna, and said, "It's just right, I'm going too, by the way, pull Bodhidharma, and the three of us will go to the border city." ”
