Chapter 9. Sword Demon Xuanyuan
Entrusted by General Yue, Luo Xuan took Mei Jiangxue from Muyang to the south and went straight to Kunlun Mountain.
Coming to the bottom of the mountain, the peaks are majestic, the fog lock is verdant, Luo Xuan concentrating on the mountain, this is not only the place where Yue Jiang designated to bury Jin Ge's suicide note, but also a huge treasure that Yue Yue has accumulated for many years.
Last night, he carefully read the suicide note, it turned out that Nie Xiaofeng's mastery of the Undertone, opened up salt transportation on the Silk Road, set up a channel in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, purchased horses from Liao, and purchased Qiu from the Jurchens, and most of the silver obtained was handed over to General Yue to replenish the military strength.
When Luo Xuan and his daughter reached the halfway point of the mountain, they suddenly saw a banner looming among the mountain basins, painted with a totem of the beast, and the array gradually approached, which turned out to be the sharp cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.
"Dad, I'll go and lure them away. Mei Jiangxue wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Luo Xuan:
"Some of their whereabouts are unhurried, thinking that they know where the treasure is, and they are coming straight today. We can't let them turn back. ”
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, after all, this is a few human lives, especially now that he has experienced the vicissitudes of life, he feels that slaughter is useless, but what can he do?
Mei Jiangxue was clever in ice and snow, and immediately explored Luo Xuan's thoughts, and said:
"Dad, it's all left to my daughter here, and I will use the five-nail soul chasing needle taught by my master to lock their primordial spirits, although I have not been aware since then, but at least I have saved my life. ”
Luo Xuanluo bowed slightly, and he had to do so. Unexpectedly, Xiaofeng's ruthless methods back then could also be used to save people.
Mei Jiangxue had to fly away, there was a commotion in the mountain basin, Luo Xuan knew that she could cope with it, so she continued to compare the map in her hand with the mountain situation. Half a cup of tea passed, and suddenly heard the sound of a flute, Luo Xuan was shocked, could it be that Jiangxue was invincible?
Hurriedly lifted her body and went down the mountainside, and saw that in the basin, Mei Jiangxue was picking up a huge rock with the jade flute in her hand and sending it out, but her strength was insufficient, and the stone body fell two feet behind Kuaiji, and landed on the ground violently, seeing that Kuaiji was going to rush away.
"Dad, don't let him run away!" Jiang Xue's voice was weak and anxious, Luo Xuan knew that this was a sign of poisoning, and the short staff in his hand pierced through the air, hitting the hind tendon of the fast, and the person who missed the net immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted.
"Bring the antidote. Luo Xuan restrained the shoulders and elbows of the person who came with one palm, this person was fierce, raised his head and smiled at him fiercely, his mouth moved, black saliva was born, and he immediately lost his breath, he wanted to save it was too late, and he was busy rummaging through the corpse, but found nothing.
Looking back at Mei Jiangxue, I saw that she was surrounded by a war millet, standing upright, and her beautiful face was already sallow.
Luo Xuan stepped forward to check his daughter's pulse, and suddenly felt that her qi line was dangerous, this poison was fierce, capricious, and urged along the pulse, and it was because Jiang Xue couldn't take a step.
"It's me who is too careless ... "Mei Jiangxue is weak.
"Don't panic, this poison can be solved, go back with my father first. Luo Xuan hugged Jiang Xue while feeling apprehensive.
This poison is called Yama Wang Chou, it is one of the famous national poisons in the Western Regions, the antidote must be prepared according to the quantity of nine insects and nine herbs, and it will be effective at noon, otherwise it will not last for two hours. Even if he can get enough medicine on time, he is now on the sidelines, and the night is long, but I am afraid that Jiangxue will not survive tonight.
"Dad, my daughter is not filial. Mei Jiangxue was already sank in Luo Xuan's arms, and her weight was gradually sinking, Luo Xuan only felt that her heart twitched, blood was thicker than water, thinking that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities for her sisters for so many years, this is a well-deserved name for her father.
Mei Jiangxue grew up in the underworld, she has been tenacious since she was a child, and she never shows softness easily, just like Nie Xiaofeng back then, thinking of this, Luo Xuan's heart is even more worried, Nie Xiaofeng has now entered the netherworld, and the only thing left is this pair of pearl jade, I am afraid that once today, the only blood relationship with her will be severed. If he can't keep his daughters safe for life, he will even take care of their mothers after her death.
The strange wind in front of him protruded, but he saw an old man in a gray robe, with a fairy wind shape, his hands empty, his expression was crazy and confused, and when he saw Mei Jiangxue in Luo Xuan's arms, he muttered:
"This is your daughter?"
Under this question, seeing that the old man was refreshed and his voice was round, Luo Xuan instinctively responded:
"It's the little girl, Your Excellency..."
"I didn't ask you!" the old man interrupted him abruptly, but he bowed his head to the bag on his chest and said:
"It's your daughter, and I'll save her. ”
The old man said that a palm was like a hook, and Mei Jiangxue was snatched from Luo Xuan's arms, Luo Xuan wanted to stop him, the old man dusted him off, and in a blink of an eye, he fell outside, refining light skills, but he didn't react as much as he could!
Seeing that he no longer stepped forward, the old man raised two fingers and followed Mei Jiangxue's second vein of Rendu, and patted it lightly at the heavenly spirit, Mei Jiangxue spit out a mouthful of black and red blood stains, splashed on the stone wall of Zhouyan, and it was like a hideous grimace, and it did not live up to the sorrow of the king of Hades.
Seeing that her daughter's face was dyed red, Luo Xuan was slightly relieved, her qi and blood had been passed, and her life was safe. The old man firmly grasped Mei Jiangxue and looked at her face carefully, Mei Jiangxue was seen to be burning under his restraint:
"You, what do you do?"
"It's like, it's like, the mother and daughter are out of the water Hibiscus, it's a pity. The trust is not human, and the resentment is the door, and it is your great luck and misfortune to meet me today. ”
Lao Suo's words were in a fog, but Luo Xuan was very sober when he heard it, this Lao Suo is not a descendant of the underworld, and he made a special trip to find trouble with his father and daughter today?
"Let go of me!" Seeing Jiang Xue exclaiming, Luo Xuan remained silent, and stepped forward in a different position and said: "Thank you Xian Weng for saving me, the little girl is fine, I will take her away and say goodbye." ”
But the old man did not retreat or hide, and seemed to be lazily waiting for him to make a move:
"It's really the same heart of mother and daughter, or not. Your mother refuses to be my apprentice, but you are not worthy of being my apprentice, so don't miss a good meal for my brother and take you with it!"
At this time, Luo Xuan really knew that the comer was not good, and the goose rushed out, hoping for a quick victory.
"Fu Yan's little skills, how can you fight against my 'no sword'? This girl, I don't know which tendon is not matched. The old man muttered to himself, the cold light was shining at the extension of his right sleeve, and the silver light was gurgling, but there was nothing in his hand.
The one who came turned out to be a swordsman, and the sword demon Xuanyuan was seeking defeat!
Luo Xuan's heart sank suddenly, he couldn't imagine that he would encounter such a strong enemy here and now!
The two were deadlocked, Luo Xuan didn't dare to slack off, Xuanyuan looked at him lazily, mentioned Mei Jiangxue, and walked away, Luo Xuan hurriedly followed, repeatedly followed, and he couldn't get close to Xuanyuan, and he was even more uneasy in his heart.
As if afraid that Luo Xuan would not be able to keep up, the figure of the sword demon Xuanyuan was slow from time to time, and in a blink of an eye, it was dark and dim inside, the wall blade was in the sky, the wind was like a ghost crying wolf, and there was a sound of waves crashing on the shore at the end of the deep valley, and the sea was fishy.
Luo Xuanyou's eyes wandered, Xuanyuan was not seen everywhere, and suddenly heard a Xue exclaimed from the top of his head, as if he was thrown down in the air, he stepped forward to take a look, only to hear the sound of "poof", a gray shadow covered the sky, like a giant thing spread its wings, and looked at it, it was a giant kite that was only one person high. It has snowy eyes, an iron beak like a hook, and its claws stretch out to grab Mei Jiangxue, and soar up.
"Let go of her!" Luo Xuan was nervous for a while, the livestock was ruthless, but he was afraid that his daughter would be hurt by it, he closed up a protruding flat rock, but saw Mei Jiangxue being thrown aside, ragged, bloodstained, and the giant kite stood behind Xuanyuan with wings and a respectful expression.
Luo Xuan couldn't help but be anxious and annoyed in his heart, but this giant beast was very psychic, with sharp bird eyes, and watched his every move closely, as if he knew that he was angry.
"What is your intention in bringing the little girl here?" Luo Xuan held the knife in his wrist, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked coldly.
"If you want to enter the imperial mausoleum of the Yue family, your father and daughter have first passed the three precepts of this wind idiot. I want to see what the old man has in common with you, so that the girl who doesn't know what to do is not willing to worship my disciples. ”
Every time he mentioned "that girl", Xuanyuan muttered to himself, as if he had been entangled in his feelings for a long time.
"Your Excellency has also seen Xiaofeng?" Luo Xuan said in surprise.
Xuanyuan snorted in defeat, raised his sleeves and slapped him and Mei Jiangxue into the tuyere in the deep valley, and let Luo Xuan carry the Qianjun top in one way, but it was useless.
"Dad!" Mei Jiangxue writhed up and down in the hurricane in Haikou, struggling desperately, seeing that her face was already waxy purple, Luo Xuan hurriedly grabbed her arm and wanted to pull her back to her side, but the wind suddenly rotated in reverse, as if she was wantonly pounded in the medicine bowl by an invisible hammer.
"Dad save me!" Mei Jiangxue's internal strength was insufficient, Miaoman's waist twisted in the strong wind, her hands and feet were out of shape, her face was sad, and she was in great pain.
Luo Xuan couldn't pull her back to his side, so he had to pour the innate Gang Qi along her wrist veins, Mei Jiangxue got his true yuan to help, and he stopped and locked her body several times, but the wind in the valley intensified like-for-tat.
At this moment, the dense fog is swept away by the wind, and the deep valley wall is narrow, and the strange rocks are shining together, gloomy, like a ghostly mouth that is obliquely open, and is greedily sniffing and sucking the prey in the valley, and once the flesh and bone are involved, it will become blood and mud.
"Dad, let me go! Jiangxue is not filial, I'm sorry for my mother, this is my retribution!" Seeing her father sweating like pulp and his heels gradually moving, Mei Jiangxue suddenly cried in the wind.
"Nonsense!" Luo Xuan was in a state of confusion, clasping her vein.
"Let her go. This is the Blood Pool Prison, the second of the eighteen prefecture punishment platforms, which punishes unfilial criminals. The sword demon's voice thundered, like a gods' judgment.
With a bloody hell, Luo Xuan's heart jumped inexplicably when he heard it. "No!" he shouted, his true qi poured out, the wind was temporarily blocked, but he changed his method in a moment, and turned into thousands of wind needles, piercing into his lungs in all directions, and the severe cold in his body was prompted by this, and the two-pronged approach was like an ice dragon swimming in his body, his limbs and five bones instantly stiffened, and his breath also turned into icicles.
Luo Xuan saw the beads of sweat condense into a crystal snowball on the tip of his nose, and the long-ago despair poured down, he suddenly felt uncontrollably desolate, desolate as that ridiculous night decades ago, when he turned around and hugged Nie Xiaofeng, who was soaked all over, it was like this, he just wanted to grasp a trace of warmth and know that he had existed.
Longing to be together, Luo Xuan couldn't help but be confused, and his lifelong memory was wrong, and he pounced on him-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The winter in Ailao Mountain is so cold. Back then, he said to her coldly.
"No! this could have been a very warm place, it should have been a place full of children and grandchildren. She burst into tears, and her voice was hesitant.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hidden pain in my heart surged out unscrupulously under the pressure of inevitable fate. In front of him, the moon-white coat flashed, the ink hair was red, and the pearl was good, "I'm going to cook!" Nie Xiaofeng back then, with a delicate posture, sprinkled with innocent grace and splendor on the lonely mountain.
"Xiaofeng, don't go!" Luo Xuan shouted at the illusion in his mind.
Don't go! Danger there, don't go!
But she turned a deaf ear and ran towards one end of the valley wall.
"Xiaofeng!" Luo Xuan was dazed and chased after her, but he didn't realize that he still had Mei Jiangxue in his hand, and he didn't realize that his legs and feet could be pulled.
When he chased to the front of the wall, how could there be any trace of Nie Xiaofeng, but he saw that there were many shuttle marks on the valley wall, and the order continued the Big Dipper Seven Star Heavenly Array, which was clearly the traces left by the Qiqiao shuttle, and he did not notice the existence of these shuttle marks in the chaos.
It seems that Nie Xiaofeng has indeed been here, but these shuttle marks have been weathered for a long time, and she must have been here a few years ago, carved the Seven Star Cloth on the stone wall, followed the trampling, and successfully broke through.
As soon as the thought was connected, his brain suddenly came to life. The Seven Star Array, all the winds in the world belong to the north, and there is no water in the world and no east, or he personally taught her. On a whim, he made Tianxiang and her memorize the Tiangang constellation and tidal formation, and Tianxiang had long forgotten it, but she could understand the implications of it, and use it to break through this wind formation.
It turned out that he was so focused on the safety of Jiangxue that he didn't even notice the reason of the wind and the stars. Today, their father and daughter escaped from danger, relying on Nie Xiaofeng's guidance!
Xiaofeng is dead, and it is impossible for him to see her here again, it is just a daydream.
"Dad, this is... Traces of the tangram shuttle. "Mei Jiangxue is light, and the wind is long.
"Let's go!" Luo Xuan locked his mind, unfolded the top wind, wrapped Mei Jiangxue around her waist, and moved her toes along the shuttle marks, gradually moving upward. The wind subsided, the resistance decreased, Mei Jiangxue buried her head in her father's arms, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she was crying.
Re-ascending the convex rock, the giant kite saw the two of them out of the customs, raised his head and ignored it, his expression was arrogant, Xuanyuan sighed when he saw this, and said to Mei Jiangxue:
"Feed you and Brother Kite, Brother Kite disdains you, ransom you with the blood pool, your mother can't bear it, it's just that, you are lucky in the end, just go." Yue Jiangling is under this stone wall, and you can return along the shuttle array. ”
After that, Xuanyuan waved his sleeves, and the giant kite spread its wings like a screen, and the two wanted to leave.
