Chapter 18: Moonlit Night
Please enter the urn for this kind of thing, pay attention to a willing person to take the bait. Yan Xing didn't think that scholars would compromise so easily. In the past three days, it seems that the scholar will do everything possible to ensure that the duel between the Inn Demon Sect and the Desolate Moon Divine Sect can be won.
Yan Xing himself did not participate in the invitation in the Moon River Tower, and the victory or defeat between him and the scholar was not decided by force. He was calculated by scholars at the martial arts conference, because he underestimated the enemy. But now, there is not the slightest carelessness in the words of awakening.
Three days is indeed not a long time. In the past three days, the intelligence network shared by the Tianji Pavilion and the Empire, and the eyeline of the God of Wealth Pavilion all over the market have been trying their best to collect information. The movement is not small. In fact, the whole Jianghu knows that a new sect called the Desolate Moon Divine Sect has been greatly powerful in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, and the Demon Sect that is all over the empire has suffered heavy losses in a very short period of time, and the various strongholds of the Demon Sect have been recovered by the Desolate Moon Divine Sect.
At the same time, those who came to the Nanban Secret Realm, in addition to the inn and the party, there were also many people from various martial arts sects, not long after the end of the empire's war, such a big thing arose in the rivers and lakes, which made people sigh. The birth of a powerful sect also worries everyone, because the Desolate Moon Divine Sect is different from the Demon Sect in the end, although the Demon Sect is mysterious and powerful, the enemy is not the Central Plains Martial Arts, and the Desolate Moon Divine Sect was established, and no one knows what the intention is in this martial arts. Whether it will change the relatively balanced situation of the martial arts today, and whether it will cause huge chaos for the Central Plains martial arts, etc., are all things that people are worried about.
Although the masters of the nine major sects are in the future, there are already a lot of spies, the topographic map of the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, the distribution of the main buildings, are also slowly presented in the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes, the interesting thing is that the Desolate Moon Divine Sect has not stopped, although the entire Desolate Moon Divine Sect is shrouded in a layer of black fog, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, but it still does not prevent everyone from looking at this huge emerging sect from a distance.
Yan Xing concluded that in this process, the Demon Sect and the Inn would definitely find a way to notify all their allies who could be contacted. But Yan Xing also has his own plans.
This is a silent game between Yan Xing and the scholar.
A few years ago in Baiyang Academy, he once saw this scholar pretending to be crazy and stupid and finally became a blockbuster, and many years later he also saw such a thing in the current emperor, and now he is playing against the scholar again, and he will not give the scholar such a chance.
In the past three days, Yanxing sent half of the people to block the streets and alleys of Nansha City. No matter what the scholar wants to do in Nansha City or who to contact, as long as he cuts off his way, there is nothing he can do. But the scholar did not appear. It's not surprising that he woke up. Subsequently, in the direction of Nansha City leading to Qinzhou City, Yan Xing sent many people to cut off the road.
The reason why the people of Tianji Pavilion have always been so in awe of Yan Xing is naturally because of the Yan family. Even Xiao Qianye didn't dare to underestimate this relationship, although the Yan family has now become the target of martial arts, and the prestige above the court has also declined slightly, but it is still the first family of the empire, and it is still in power.
This also makes Yan Xing have a lot of resources at his disposal. On the road between Nansha City and Qinzhou City, in addition to the disciples of the Tianji Pavilion or the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, there were also many imperial soldiers who were checking one by one, because the scholars themselves were wanted felons. Speaking of Xing, he had already learned Tang Xian's disguise technique, and knew that the scholar was very likely to be no longer what he used to be.
……
At this time, the scholar was indeed on the way to Qinzhou City. From the time Tang Xian first stole the scroll from the Desolate Moon Divine Sect, the scholar had already sensed that something was wrong, and coupled with the uneasiness he had been making these days, he felt that the inn would be in great trouble. Later, after Tang Xian informed the information left by the Desolate Moon God Sect in the Nansha Inn, the covenant of the Moon River Tower made the scholar conclude that this was a bureau.
But the shopkeeper and Sect Master Chen had to go to this bureau, and even the scholars didn't expect that the Tianji Pavilion Master actually had the whereabouts of the master who defeated half of the martial arts outside Liankong City back then. This is the news that he has not received in Tianji Pavilion for many years, and he doesn't know if he wants to come to Xiang Wu.
A few days ago, he sent Tang Xian to deliver a letter, and the letter was sent to Qinzhou City. However, at this moment, although the scholar was on his way to Qinzhou City, he did not want to rush to Qinzhou City. As the only way to connect the northern cities, it is difficult for the scholar to reach the place he wants to go within three days, even if he is fast, but he has no other route to choose, and if he takes the waterway in the direction of Donghai City, the delay will be even longer. What the scholar did was the worst he could do. There was only one person he could ask for now, and he had to rush to that place.
What the scholar didn't expect was that the means of waking up were indeed very fast. Along the way, almost every few hours, he could see his wanted portrait. He bypassed many checkpoints, but several passes outside Qinzhou City were difficult to bypass.
In the end, the scholar saw a wooden shop located in a small village between Qinzhou City and Nansha City, and without much hesitation, he smiled and walked in.
Yan Xing didn't know what the scholar was going to do. But he knew that the scholar would definitely not stay in Nansha City, and he would not wait for the shopkeeper and the people of the Demon Sect to fight in the tower without doing anything. But today's situation is different from that time, the current scholar is no longer a member of the Tianji Pavilion, no longer the think tank of the imperial dragon general, the current scholar is just a Jianghu person, a wanted criminal, no matter what the scholar wants to do, just capture the scholar.
It's just that even though Yan Xing has begun to attach importance to scholars, he still underestimates the means and endurance of scholars.
On the eve of the day of the tower.
Qing Miaoyue and Bai Beiming were both picking up the lights to flip through all the files, checking all the information of the Xingchen Sect in the past, hoping to find the unused power in the Xingchen Sect to increase the chances of winning tomorrow's showdown, although they didn't know who their sect master would face.
Among the people in the inn, Zhong Yunxiu is comforting Gongyi Liuli, since they met in Hongcheng, the scholar and Gongyi Liuli, the brother and sister, have been together and rarely separated. After discussing with the people of the Demon Sect two days ago, the scholar went to the north alone, and he didn't know where he was going or what he wanted. The public loss of glass is naturally reluctant. But the little girl also seemed to know that there would be a great challenge for the inn and the Demon Sect. At this time, she was very well-behaved and sensible, not crying or making trouble, but she was a little sad after all.
Zhong Yunxiu herself is also a little nervous, the ghost doctor Mizo is an opponent that his father has not been able to defeat, and the red pupil resentment must not be Mizo's strongest poison. She didn't even know what the scene of her duel with Mizo would be, it was completely different from the momentum she had two days ago, and at this moment Zhong Yunxiu realized that her medical skills might not be as strong as she imagined.
The cook Ding Qiliang is sharpening his knife. Jiu Tu was originally a blunt knife, this knife naturally did not need to be sharpened, and the cook sharpened the knife the same, but also because of nervousness, he didn't know who he would face. But one thing is certain, the opponent he will face in the Moon River Tower will definitely be the strongest opponent he has encountered since the sword ghost Qi Linya. Because in the Tianji Pavilion, it is now the gray jade Si Yan Xing, looking at the powerless children of the official family, and he is also a top master with the peak realm of the Nine Leaves. Ding Qiliang, as the first person to enter the inn, although he was diligent in practicing martial arts, Ding Qiliang himself knew that among the strong enemies he had encountered in the past, the powerful ones were all in the Qiye realm, which was completely different from the opponents in the Jiuye realm, and the really powerful opponents were also solved by the shopkeeper, and he was a little panicked. Although he was not afraid.
Corresponding to Tang Xian, as a rookie like Ding Qiliang in the martial arts conference, Tang Xian's strength impressed many people. But in the duel with Gu Sanqiu, the master of Tianji Pavilion, Tang Xian always felt ashamed. Instead of defeating Gu Sanqiu, he finally relied on Sect Master Chen Ling to get out of danger. At the time of the fire in Qinzhou City, Tang Xian finally let go of his paranoia about the puppet and began to use the broken puppet as a weapon. But just like that, Tang Xian didn't think that he could beat Gu Sanqiu. All along, what Yanshi has pursued is to dominate the number of puppets, and Tang Xian is an eternal genius on this path, but Tang Xian accidentally realized that maybe a powerful Yanshi doesn't need too many puppets. In the past few days, Tang Xian has been pondering this matter, and vaguely, it seems that he has a revelation.
Chen Hui and Chen Ling are the calmest. Maybe these two have experienced enough dangers, and they are both the most powerful warriors at the top of the rivers and lakes, so they don't have so many worries.
The last time Chen Ling had to spread side by side with Chen Hui like this was at the end of the martial arts conference. At that time, the war between the empire and the Wanzang tribe in the Western Regions and the Tieli Kingdom in the Northern Regions had not yet begun. The two made an agreement on one thing, no one should die until they found Chensha's whereabouts. Now Chensha's whereabouts may be in that tower, and although the two of them are not worried about the duel at the moment, they are not so calm.
It's late at night. Chen Ling and Chen Hui are not in the underground palace, but on a forest road in the secret realm of Nanban, the moonlight is moving, and the brightest moon can always be seen at night in Nanban.
Chen Hui still walked behind, looking at Chen Ling's back. Everything is also like when Ye Yang said goodbye outside the city.
"Aren't we stupid? Elder Qing and your family's account office both decided that this was a bureau, but we just wanted to break in. Chen Ling stopped and looked back at Chen Hui, and there was no trace of coldness and hostility in her eyes when she first saw her.
Looking back to the first time I saw her, although Chen Ling's image had not changed, she was still in a black dress and a crimson long sword, and now that it was summer, the little beast had returned to her shoulders again. But his temperament has changed a lot. Or that there is no change, when facing the disciples of the Demon Sect, Chen Ling still looks extremely domineering.
"It's just this thing that we're not going to be too rational. In fact, I've been thinking about why the master suddenly left back then, and why no one knew about such a strong person as the master in those years. Chen Hui said.
Chen Ling said: "It seems that you haven't come up with any results. ”
Chen Hui smiled: "What the master does may be far higher than what we know, there are always some people in this world who do things that are difficult for others to understand." Before the Northern War, the Lord of the Ning Sect and the Master of the Cloud went to the Far North. The only way we can think of is to end the war with war, but what these two men did was to eliminate war at its roots. It seemed like an impossible thing to do, but it was still done, and if we had realized such a thing earlier, maybe the war would not have started. ”
Chen Ling said: "You mean that what he is doing may be something that we think is impossible, and he is solving the problem of a certain river or continent from the root?" ”
Chenhui nodded.
Chen Ling said, "Maybe you think of him too well." ”
"It's true that the master is not a good father, but I think the master must have his own problems. I believe in him. ”
"Why?"
"Many times, I have seen the master drinking alone, missing you and the master. It's just strange that the master doesn't go to you. At that time, I was too young to understand some things, but now that I think about it, maybe the life of the master who seems to be like a hermit is actually full of crises. Perhaps at that time, the master was already targeted by a ruthless and troublesome enemy. In fact, I have no clues at all when I have been looking for the master all these years, but the master is not in this world. When Chen Hui recalls Chen Sha, his mood always becomes a little sad.
Chen Ling was actually a little envious.
"I envy you, Chenhui. You can pursue him without hatred. I can't. Chen Ling's appearance at the moment made Chen Hui feel a little distressed.
He had always wanted to ease the relationship between Chen Ling and his master, but Chen Hui suddenly realized at this moment that some things happened when they happened, and they were not explained by misunderstanding or bitterness. If it weren't for the bumpy and rugged experience...... Chen Ling may be a very gentle woman. You may still be obsessed with kendo martial arts, but it must be a different style.
"But if I really know his whereabouts and learn that he's really doing something amazing as you say, I'll try to hate him that much." Chen Ling suddenly laughed.
It is rare to see Chen Ling laughing, and Chen Hui looked a little stunned, especially when Chen Ling added a sentence later.
"Of course, this is for the sake of him accepting a good apprentice."
"Today...... Tonight's moonlight is really good. Chen Hui felt a little panicked, and this feeling was like drowning.
When they first met Chen Ling, the two were like mortal enemies, where is there still half a bit of hostility now? If the scholar is here at the moment, he is probably going to laugh at the shopkeeper who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, such a beautiful day, under the breeze and the moon, but he does nothing.
Chen Hui is really not very good at these things. But he knew one thing. In any case, he will do his best to protect Chen Ling's safety. No matter how dangerous the trip to the Cult of the Wild Moon God is.
Chen Ling responded to Chen Hui's words: "The moonlight is good. I asked you out tonight, but I still have one more thing to say. ”
Chen replied, "What's the matter?" ”
In Chen Ling's hand, I don't know when there was an extra file, she handed the file to Chen Hui and said, "This is the sword book of the wind and sand sword technique." ”
Chen Hui was taken aback, I don't know why Chen Ling suddenly gave herself this.
Chen Ling said: "Your sword intent is practiced very well, in the use of wind and sand, not weaker than me, but in the coexistence of sword moves and sword intent can be regarded as a complete wind and sand sword technique, this set of sword records the complete wind and sand sword moves, although you can step into the spirit rhino, have the magic power to disassemble the moves, but how to cooperate with the sword intent to show the most powerful and exquisite sword technique, but you can't do it." ”
Chen Hui really didn't expect that Chen Ling would hand over such an important thing to herself, and she was in a trance for a while.
"Although I will go to the tower tomorrow to fight with the people of the Desolate Moon God Sect, it is too late to cultivate, but Chen Hui, you have to promise me, no matter what enemy you face, you will survive, I am not his heir, maybe he doesn't know that I can practice this set of swordsmanship, but you are, if he knows it, he will also hope that you can learn this set of swordsmanship."
Chen Ling's expression was unprecedentedly serious.
Chen Hui nodded solemnly and said, "I will come back alive and finish practicing this set of sword moves." ”
Chen Ling smiled: "Then I made an appointment?" Deal? ”
Chen Hui nodded and said, "A word is a certainty." ”
