Chapter 127: The Red Lantern Hangs High (Part II)
Lan Yu walked straight towards a side courtyard in the palace, there were two big red lanterns hanging at the gate of the courtyard, gently swaying with the wind, and on the door frame below was a couplet pasted during the New Year: smoke lock pond willow, Fengcomb town sand. Although it is a little incompatible with the festivity of the festival, the sand of Xialianfeng Comb Town has the majestic spirit of the northwest plug, which is suitable for the occasion.
Lan Yu stopped outside the door, looked at Xialian and was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's a good Fengcomb Town, and now the northwest is really wolf smoke again, it should be the situation." ”
Mo Shu, who was standing behind Lan Yu, was looking at the two red lanterns in a daze.
Although hung with red lanterns, this courtyard does not have much festive meaning, but has a bit of the gloomy atmosphere of a dying person, and a few maids and servants in the courtyard were taken away by the secret guards early, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Lan Yu only walked into the side courtyard with Moshu, and the owner of the side courtyard seemed to have been waiting for a long time, standing alone in the courtyard at this time, looking at Lan Yu, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow clearly.
The smile on Lan Yu's face has gradually faded, and he said indifferently: "This time, I left Zhongdu with the prince on the front foot, and there was a grassland rebellion on the back foot, which was obviously calculated and deduced, although the specific whereabouts of the prince were not leaked, but there were ghosts in the palace It was already a certainty, so the prince asked me to sort out the palace up and down and make it cleaner." ”
The woman standing in front of Lan Yu has the same surname as the hostess of this palace, both are surnamed Lin, her name is Lin Rujing, she studied under Li Xiu, who is known as the immortal sword in the cultivation world, and met Xiao Yu at the Taoist Conference, and later came to Zhongdu with Xiao Yu because of the order of the master.
Lan Yu turned her head to look at the ink book, took out a pitch-black vial from her sleeve and handed it to her, and said softly: "Miss ink book, use this to help me make a glass of wine, only one-third is enough." ”
Moshu hesitated for a moment, but still took the pitch-black vial, and turned away silently.
Lan Yu took a few steps forward and said, "Just now, the princess sent a message, saying that I should leave you a little dignity. ”
Lin Rujing smiled, "What kind of decency?
Lan Yu nodded and said: "The premise is that you can be caught, if you insist on making a move, I won't catch you without hurting you." ”
Lin Rujing sighed: "Mr. Lan is busy with mundane affairs all day long, but he has not yet fallen into cultivation, which really makes the little woman envious." ”
Lan Yu smiled lightly: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to come alone." It's just that I don't understand, why did you, a young talent in the cultivation world, with a bright future, and not a prince and nobleman of Hou Jian, come to the troubled waters of the world, and put yourself in danger to serve Hou Jian's life? Or are you actually a disciple of the Demon Sect, but even if you are a disciple of the Demon Sect, this move is overkill, right?"
Lin Rujing said calmly: "It's about the general trend of the world, I'm just a small frost, what's worth a pity, not to mention any overkill, in my opinion, it's just right to use the material." Besides, the woman's life is thin, and I should have ended up in a fate where life is worse than death, but now I can still leave a point of dignity, and I don't have to suffer any crimes before I die, which is also a blessing. ”
Lan Yu said calmly: "Then you should thank the princess, it was the princess who sent a message to leave you a decent one, and this kind of thing can only be said by the princess, and the prince will not object." ”
Lin Rujing took down her sword from her back, pressed her hands on the head of the sword, and stood with her sword, she smiled faintly and said: "Then I have to thank the princess for her kindness, but since the first day I learned the sword, the master taught me a sentence, which is a famous saying of the Sword Sect, called Although you die without regrets, you use the sword like this, and you do things like this, I have always kept this sentence in my heart, and I dare not forget it, so I don't have the habit of standing still, I'm really sorry, I disappointed the princess's kindness." ”
Lan Yu stood with his hands in his hands and sighed: "Qing Ben is a beautiful woman, why is she a thief? It seems that the glass of wine that Lan specially prepared for the girl is also useless." ”
A sword roared.
The moon-stepping sword came out of its sheath, drawing a cold light in the night.
Lan Yu's face was calm, he stood still in place, just flicked out his sleeve, rolled the tip of the Moon Stepping Sword, and then shook his sleeve and threw it, and easily dissolved the sword.
Lin Rujing floated and then retreated, stepping on her feet and stepping out one ripple after another.
The blue jade palm is held in a false position, making a sword-like shape.
After Qiu Ye took the lead in stepping into the realm of heaven and man, the talents of the younger generation have approached the threshold of the realm of heaven and man one after another, and even Qin Mumian has crossed this threshold and achieved the realm of heaven and man, beating Xiao Yu and ranking ninth on the list of heavenly machines.
As the young pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, Lan Yu has been staying in the realm of the peak of frost for a long time, as for whether Lan Yu has stepped into the realm of heaven and man, no one knows, after all, Lan Yu has not made a move with anyone for a long time, and occasionally makes a move, but only presses on the middle realm of frost, so in the middle capital, many people have forgotten that Lan Yu is actually a Wenchen who can fight more than most generals.
After Lin Rujing stopped retreating, she came again with her sword, and Lan Yu finally began to show her grandeur, and an invisible sword in her hand swept directly at the woman holding the sword.
The woman with a beautiful face moved her wrist quickly, and the moon-stepping long sword pulled out a light spirit sword flower, and in an instant, six consecutive swords touched the invisible sword, like a spring water, and most of the fierce sword intent on the invisible sword was dissolved by the woman six times, and the woman moved lightly with lotus steps, instantly avoiding the invisible sword that was already the end of the strong crossbow, and her body was fluttering, and a sword pierced the blue jade face door.
This coming and going seems complicated, but in fact, it is just a matter of moments, Lan Yu didn't seem to want to hurt Lin Rujing's life, just flicked his fingers, stretched out his right index finger, and pointed at Lin Rujing's sword tip with his fingertips.
A crisp sound caused a ripple of vitality, and then the ripples turned into a violent wind, spreading out in all directions, blowing the red lanterns up and down the palace and shaking them endlessly.
Lin Rujing, who had no sword in vain, turned around again in the air, and stepped on the moon in her hand to pick up a moonlight-like sword and slash at Lan Yu's neck.
Lan Yu's sleeves swayed, his body did not retreat but advanced, the four fingers of his right hand pressed on the sword that was like a substance, and pressed down lightly, pressing this sword that can be called a golden jade into the ground under his feet, and then Lan Yu's footsteps did not stop, and he suddenly stepped forward, and his left hand pointed out a finger to flick away the long sword in Lin Rujing's hand, and his right hand took advantage of the situation to slap Lin Rujing's shoulder.
Lin Rujing was forced back thirty feet by a beat, her body staggered through the wall, and flew upside down into the house behind her.
Lan Yu didn't mean to keep his hand anymore, and before Lin Rujing landed, he had already thrown his hands together, and two invisible qi swords flew out silently, pointing directly at Lin Rujing's dantian qi sea.
Lan Yu said that he was not sure that he would capture Lin Rujing intact, and since she didn't want this dignity herself, then Lan Yu would no longer do anything to pity the jade.
Lin Rujing still did not give up at this moment, her heart was extremely clear, and she was even one step away from the sword heart that the master said, holding the moon-stepping sword with both hands, forcibly twisting her body in mid-air, standing with her feet in the air, and facing the invisible sword of blue jade with the visible sword in her hand.
In an instant, the sword aura was mighty.
Lan Yu sighed lightly, knowing that his two swords were going to return in vain, but he still had a back hand today, and he was not afraid that Lin Rujing would go to the sky, only to see him stretch out his hand, first the two big red lanterns at the gate of the courtyard began to sway slightly, and then the swing range became larger and larger, then the west across the courtyard, and finally all the big red lanterns in the palace began to shake violently.
The night is getting darker, but the entire palace is brightly lit at this moment.
Lan Yu walked forward, the talisman array he had spent a day arranging in advance finally fully opened at this moment.
At this time, the sword aura is awe-inspiring, but he can't escape this mansion full of red lanterns.
Lan Yu's eyes were calm, "Miss Lin, if you put down the long sword in your hand now, Lan can guarantee that you will not be guilty of the past and still give you a decent look." ”
Lin Rujing looked at the lantern connected like a red dragon outside, and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lan, you really took great pains. ”
