Chapter 215: Measuring the Ruler
Su Xiaoan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can try." ”
The blue-shirted middle-aged man finally spoke: "Young Master Su, you may not know the origin of the measuring ruler, but I must remind you that this thing is not something that everyone can have, even if we don't make a move in the Purple Qi Pavilion, other sect forces will also make a move, and when the time comes, you will not only lose this ruler, but even lose your life, why bother? ”
Su Xiaoan fell into thought, and shook his head after a long time, "Thank you seniors for your kindness." ”
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt nodded, "I have already chosen the road for you, if you don't go by yourself, you can't complain about others." ”
Su Xiaoan narrowed his eyes, took a step back, and waited for the battle.
The young man in Xuanfu rubbed his fists while approaching Su Xiaoan with bad intentions.
"I heard that Mr. Qinglan's apprentice and daughter arrived in Cicada City, and Jiang was thinking about going to meet him, but he didn't expect to meet here. A man's deep voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, the young man in Xuanfu frowned and turned around suddenly.
I saw a burly middle-aged man walking into the courtyard slowly, and beside the man, followed by a young man in white, always with a faint smile.
After the blue-shirted middle-aged man saw the visitor, he frowned slightly, "The city lord of Jiang is here, I'm afraid it's not for me to wait, right?"
The person who came was the city lord of Cicada City and Jiang Liuxue's father, Jiang Haoyun. The young man in white who followed him was his righteous son, Jiang Liufeng.
Jiang Haoyun first glanced at Su Xiaoan, and Su Xiaoan hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Uncle Jiang." ”
Jiang Haoyun nodded, and said with a smile: "Jiang heard that the measuring ruler was in the world, and it fell into the hands of the son of an old man, so he thought about coming over to see if there were any bad people who wanted to measure the ruler, but he didn't expect to meet the distinguished guests of the Purple Qi Pavilion......"
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and then said with a smile: "Jiang didn't say that a few people are the villains." ”
The faces of the three people in the Purple Qi Pavilion were obviously not very good-looking.
Jiang Haoyun looked around, then stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Can you take a step to speak?"
The blue-shirted middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "The lord of Jiang City is the master of Cicada City, and I am waiting for the guest to be a guest, so I should be a guest as the host." ”
As he spoke, he walked outside.
Guo Yousheng glanced at Su Xiaoan, and moved to follow the middle-aged man in the blue shirt, only the woman in white glared at Su Xiaoan fiercely. Jiang Liufeng, who was dressed in white, made a gesture and said with a smile: "Miss Guo, please." ”
The girl in white snorted coldly and followed everyone.
In the courtyard, only Su Xiaoan and Jiang Liufeng in white were left.
Jiang Liufeng hugged his fist at Su Xiaoan, still with that faint smile.
Watching everyone leave the courtyard, Su Xiaoan always frowned, and was just about to turn around and walk back to the house, but saw the sloppy little Taoist priest coming in from outside the wall, probing his head to observe the situation in the courtyard, and after making sure that there was no one, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Su Xiaoan, it's not that I don't pay attention to righteousness, but I know that they will definitely not embarrass you, so I left, so as not to be seen by them about my identity, so you must not think about it." ”
Su Xiaoan had something on his mind and didn't care about the words of the little Taoist.
The little Taoist picked up the peachwood sword that he hadn't had time to bring with him from the corner of the wall, and said with a smile: "Su Xiao'an, it's not me who brags, I can beat these people to the ground with just one sword, do you believe it or not?"
Su Xiaoan walked into the room and said at the same time: "Deceive gods and deceive ghosts." ”
The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, hurriedly followed the poor young man, and shouted: "Su Xiaoan, I really didn't lie to you, that is, in your Qingzhou, if it is somewhere else, you can ask someone casually, and you will know that I, Sima Xuan, do not deceive people." ”
After Su Xiaoan entered the room, he took out the turquoise ruler directly from under the table and put it on the table, and then took out a dagger-like short knife and placed it next to the ruler.
The boy had always suspected that the ruler had been given to him by his so-called father, for he could not think of anyone else in the world who would give him anything. This knife was the only thing the dead man gave him before he died, saying that with this knife, he could find his father.
Whether it is the measuring ruler or this unknown knife, it is not an ordinary object, especially the knife, the young man has grown so big, he has never seen Su Rufan take it out until he was dying. So the boy has also hidden this knife very well over the years, and he has never been seen by anyone, and even the little girl in the red jacket next door doesn't know.
This was the first time the boy had shown the knife.
The little Taoist priest looked at the things on the table and hurriedly shouted: "Yo, Su Xiao'an, I can't see it, you kid is so poor that he can't even eat, and he still hides such a good thing." ”
As he spoke, he sat down, his eyes kept jumping on the two things, and he said, "Awesome, these two things are a perfect match." ”
Su Xiaoan never saw anything in common between the two things, and when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "Do you know the origin of this knife?"
The little Taoist nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the clothes knife that the Gu Suyun clan transferred to the woman." ”
After saying this, there was no follow-up, which made the young man who had been waiting frown, and asked again, "What about this ruler?"
The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and said as a matter of course: "Measuring the sky, you are not."
I don't know. ”
Su Xiaoan rolled his eyes and asked, "What is the connection between the two?"
The little Taoist priest shook his head and said, "There is no connection, but if you have these two things at the same time, it will be terrible." ”
Su Xiaoan looked dazed, and the little Taoist explained: "This measuring ruler can be said to be a big weapon, a big weapon, and a tool for attacking people. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the knife, "This clothes knife can be called a hidden weapon, the so-called hidden weapon, that is, something that cannot be displayed in front of others, as a life-saving purpose in a critical moment." There is a saying among scholars, 'A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves when the time comes', which is what it means. ”
Su Xiaoan frowned, he didn't like to read, but he had also heard this sentence, and the old gentleman's explanation at that time didn't seem to mean that.
Seeing Su Xiao'an frowning, the sloppy little Taoist priest was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly said: "To put it simply, this measuring ruler is like a man, this clothes knife is like a woman, men have a way to earn money, and women have a way to run a family, so that when two people are combined, they naturally don't worry about the prosperity of the family business." ”
Su Xiaoan nodded, as if he understood what the little Taoist said.
————
After Jiang Haoyun left the courtyard of Su Xiao'an's house, he walked a long way along the river, and then stopped under a willow tree and did not speak.
The blue-shirted middle-aged man stopped, frowned slightly and asked, "The Jiang City Lord invited me and the others to come, not just to see the scenery of this Cicada City, right?"
Jiang Haoyun turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "Mr. Wu is an understanding person, so I won't hide it, I know that the Purple Qi Pavilion is determined to measure the heavenly ruler, but I am worried that the senior of the East will stop it, so Jiang may as well say one more thing to Mr. Wu, this Su Xiao'an is not only the son of Jiang's old man, but also the person who is married to the little girl." ”
The three people of the Purple Qi Pavilion frowned at the same time, and the blue-shirted middle-aged man asked with a smile, "So the Jiang City Lord came this time to make us give up measuring the heavenly ruler?"
Jiang Haoyun shook his head, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I came this time to make a deal with your Purple Qi Pavilion. ”
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt was puzzled: "Oh?"
Jiang Haoyun said calmly: "You can snatch the measuring scale, but you must kill that young man." As long as Mr. Wu can agree, I can come forward to let that Eastern senior ignore it, and after the matter is completed, the measuring scale will belong to your Purple Qi Pavilion, and I can guarantee that in the entire Cicada City, no one dares to say a single 'no'. ”
The blue-shirted middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "City Lord Jiang can be confused, isn't this young man the future son-in-law of City Lord Jiang?
A touch of resentment flashed in Jiang Haoyun's eyes, and he said angrily: "A child who is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, but he wants to learn what others say, isn't this an obvious reason for me Jiang Haoyun to owe him? What kind of person is my family Liuxue? That is a disciple who was selected by Hua Yuxuan, and he is destined to go farther and farther on the road of cultivation, he Su Xiaoan is just an ordinary man, how can he be compared with my family Liuxue, how can he continue to live in the world and defile my family Liuxue? Therefore, he must die!"
The three people in the Purple Qi Pavilion were a little stunned, the blue-shirted middle-aged man hugged his fists, squinted and smiled: "I understand, I guarantee that before sunrise tomorrow morning, the Jiang City Lord will be able to see the young man's body." ”
It was night, the wind and the waning moon, the dark clouds rolling, although there was the sound of cicadas, but it gave people a suppressed and murderous atmosphere.
The young man Su Xiaoan stood in the courtyard of his house, holding the measuring ruler in his right hand and his fist in his left hand, staring at the three people of the Purple Qi Pavilion who had gone and returned with a pair of eyes.
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt stood in the middle of the courtyard gate, just sealing the courtyard gate.
Guo Wuyan, who was dressed in white, approached Su Xiaoan from the right, and at the same time slowly pulled out the long sword on his back.
With the lesson of the last time, this time she looked at the poor boy with no contempt, but was full of solemnity, and at the same time a little resentful and hot.
Guo Yousheng approached Su Xiaoan from the left, he didn't have any weapons in his hands, his hands were the most powerful weapons.
Obviously, the two plan to work together to deal with Su Xiaoan.
Two small accomplished cultivators, against a poor young man who doesn't even know what cultivation is, the odds can be said to be no suspense, and because of this, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt has no intention of making a move, but just blocks the only way out of the small courtyard.
The sloppy little Taoist priest had already run over the wall when these three people arrived, which was really a good way.
Guo Yousheng and Guo Wuyan glanced at each other, Guo Wuyan suddenly accelerated, and the long sword in his hand stood up, stabbing directly at Su Xiaoan's chest.
Guo Yousheng quickly swept to Su Xiaoan's right side, raised his right fist, and smashed towards Su Xiaoan's head.
Su Xiaoan's body quickly retreated, and at the same time raised the ruler in his hand, and the entire ruler body suddenly exuded a clear brilliance. The next moment, the long sword collided with the ruler, and there was a sound of fine iron blowing, and the long sword in the girl's hand was actually bounced away, and the powerful force directly made the girl stagger back.
Su Xiaoan was also not comfortable, his arm was numb by the powerful force, the ruler in his hand was almost out of his hand, and before he could react, he was hit on the head by Guo Yousheng's punch, and with a roar, the whole person fell directly to the ground, and the dust flew immediately.
With one blow, Guo Yousheng kicked again, directly kicked Su Xiaoan out, and just slipped in front of the humble kennel.
The boy looked at the empty kennel, a touch of cruelty flashed in his eyes, he propped the ruler on the ground, staggered to his feet, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then put the ruler
Zi changed to his left hand, pointed at Guo Yousheng, and roared angrily: "Come on!"
This roar actually made the three of them stunned, and Guo Yousheng and Guo Wuyan were even startled.
Guo Yousheng came to his senses first, as if he wanted to regain his courage, snorted coldly, and rushed towards Su Xiaoan first, waving his hands and punching like the wind.
Su Xiaoan held the ruler in his left hand and waved it indiscriminately to resist the opponent's fist, while his eyes narrowed into a line, carefully observing the pattern of the opponent's punching, and the short knife in the sleeve of his right hand slowly slid out.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Guo Yousheng's punch smashed directly on Su Xiaoan's chest, accompanied by the clicking sound of broken ribs.
In this way, Guo Yousheng was stunned, and at this moment, the sword flashed, and blood flew.
A short knife appeared in Su Xiaoan's hand, and the entire blade completely pierced into Guo Yousheng's chest, blood kept gushing out, soaking the Xuanxi clothes, and the poor young man's face, hands, and chest were splashed with blood. The corners of the young man's mouth turned up slightly, with a cold smile, in the moonlight, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Guo Yousheng's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
He never imagined that he would die like this.
At the same time, Guo Wuyan had already rushed to Su Xiaoan's side, and at the same time that the long sword in his hand stabbed at Su Xiaoan, he happened to see this scene, and he was startled at first and wanted to withdraw his move, but found that the long sword had been handed out and could not be withdrawn at all, so the lethality of this sword was greatly reduced.
The next moment, the long sword stabbed directly into Su Xiaoan's body, piercing through the entire shoulder.
As the daughter of the Pavilion Lord of the Purple Qi Pavilion, when did she really fight with someone? At this moment, she couldn't slow down, what she didn't expect was that the guy with a bloody face suddenly let go of the hilt of the knife, and grabbed his long sword in his hand, and the sharp blade directly caused blood to drip from his right hand.
The girl wanted to withdraw the long sword, but found that the other party was holding the sword body tightly, if it was usual, she only needed a little force, she could cut off all the fingers of this guy, but at this moment she was really scared, and the strength was not as good as one-tenth of the previous one.
In a panic, she directly let go of the hilt of her sword, turned around and ran in the direction of the courtyard gate.
It was only with her right foot that she took a step, and a green silk was directly grabbed by Su Xiaoan, and then a heart-rending pain came, and the whole person left the ground directly, and was pulled backwards by a strong force.
Falling to the ground, the girl let out an exclamation, and a foot in straw sandals stepped directly on her face, and it was dark in front of her eyes, and the straw sandals, which were extremely worn, stepped on her flower-like face.
This series of changes came too suddenly, no one expected that the poor young man still had a short knife hidden in his right hand, and when the middle-aged man in the blue shirt found out that something was wrong, Guo Yousheng had already fallen in a pool of blood, and Guo Wuyan was also stepped on in the face by the poor young man.
After stepping on this foot, Su Xiaoan was just about to crush the woman's head with force, but he felt a shock to his body, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and then the whole person flew directly backwards.
The young man smashed into the corner of the wall, without any hesitation, without looking, the ruler in his hand was thrown directly towards the place where he flew out, and then, like that sloppy little Taoist, he rolled and crawled over the courtyard wall, and crashed into an alley like a headless fly, regardless of the injuries on his body, and accelerated and ran.
When the boy really couldn't run, he fell directly in front of a dilapidated small temple, looked back with all his strength, and after making sure that no one was chasing him, his tense nerves relaxed suddenly, and the blood in his body suddenly surged, and blood continued to gush out one after another.
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt did not chase Su Xiao'an, but pulled the girl in white up from the ground, checked the injury, and after making sure that there was no worry about her life, he quickly rushed to the side of the young man in Xuanfu.
Although the Xuanfu boy did not immediately lose his breath, he was already powerless to return to the sky.
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt only felt that his mind was blank.
This time I came to Cicada City, naturally for the Secret Treasure Conference, I originally wanted to bring one or two treasures back, but I didn't even have the opportunity to enter the Secret Treasure Pavilion, and finally knew that this poor boy had a treasure, thinking that he wanted to bring this measuring ruler back with coercion and temptation, but he never thought that he would kill people.
Although this Guo Yousheng is only a disciple of the Pavilion Master, he is very favored by the Pavilion Master, and he has been regarded as his own over the years, and he has cultivated with all his might, and now he has died in Cicada City, and he must be unable to escape the blame.
And Guo Wuyan is the pearl of the pavilion master's palm, although he saved a life, but after this incident, it will surely leave an indelible shadow in her heart for a lifetime, and the path of cultivation, even if it is broken, this is actually more uncomfortable than death for a cultivator.
Of course, if she was allowed to kill that poor boy with her own hands, she might be able to regain her confidence, and she might even be able to go one step further on the path of cultivation.
The eyes of the middle-aged man in the blue shirt quickly moved to the short knife, which was the short knife that created the current situation.
The handle of the knife is pitch black, and there is nothing special, but at the top of the handle, there is a small circle, and there is a small "cloud" engraved in the circle, which is difficult to find if you don't look closely.
Seeing this word, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his eyebrows wrinkled tightly, "Gu Su Yun's family, who is this young man, and why is there a Gu Su Yun clan's clothes presser?"
After saying this, he turned around abruptly, looked at the measuring ruler inserted on the ground behind him, and then got up and walked up slowly, his steps were particularly heavy. (https:)
