Chapter 259: Siege in the Rain
It is less than a day before the expected opening date of the Wuyue Conference, and most of the righteous people have already arrived on Hengshan, but there is still no news from Shaolin.
It is worth mentioning that not only did there be no news from South Shaolin, but no one from North Shaolin came.
Although Shaolin in the north and south is practicing Buddhism, reading Buddhism, and speaking of Amitabha Buddha, the two sides have been separated for many years, and they have already become one and the same, except for the fact that the people staying in the temple are monks, they are almost no different from the two sects.
However, although the two sides are separated, but the ancestors are the same root and the same origin, when the people of the rivers and lakes talk about Shaolin, they rarely discuss the two separately, so in the eyes of most people, the north and south Shaolin are one.
But who is not a representative of the first-class power sect here, who does not know the truth about Shaolin in the north and south, and now that both are absent at the same time, it seems that something is wrong.
But the protagonist of the Wuyue Sword School is Wuyue after all, and whether Shaolin comes or not will not affect the convening of the conference.
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful at this time, it was still a clear sky, and suddenly the dark clouds were thick, and the sound of roaring thunder resounded among the clouds.
Lu Hanjiang looked at the gloomy sky, a smile slowly bloomed on his face, Yongle looked strange on the side, and asked, "It's going to rain, what are you happy about?" ”
"After this heavy rain, tomorrow will definitely be a good day." He said.
The two stopped under the corridor, and two women came to the side, one was dressed plainly, with a kind face and a graceful temperament, and the other was lively and lovely, it was Shi Suxue, a disciple of Hengshan who I had seen a few days ago.
Seeing her respect and flattery to the woman, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this person, who should be Jiuning, the head of the Beiyue Hengshan faction.
If you talk about age and appearance, there is not much difference between Gu Qianhan, the lady of the head of the family and the business, but she is more introverted than the heroic Mrs. Gu, and she is born from the heart, which shows that this head of the family has the demeanor of a senior.
But it may also be related to the practice of martial arts, Huashan swordsmanship is dangerous to win, most of them have the tricks of advancing and retreating, and they need to practice to move forward, and Hengshan swordsmanship is good at defending, often defending as an attack, so this time the head does not need to be so sharp.
After thinking about it, the two people looked at each other, and Shi Suxue introduced them to Shi Jiuning: "Master, they are the disciples sent by Wudang. ”
Before she finished speaking, Shi Jiuning already knew the identity of the person in front of her, and she looked at the two with a smile: "Chi Shaoxia, Miss Chi, I'm causing trouble for you in this apprentice." ”
"Master! How can I have! Shi Suxue shook Shi Jiuning's arm and made a aggrieved sound.
"The head of the time said and laughed, the girl was jade and clear, and the white water was contemplative, where would she cause any trouble to the younger generation."
Of course, what Lu Hanjiang said was kind words, but only people like Shi Suxue who didn't think so much would believe it, and at that time, Jiu Ning smiled helplessly: "Lu Wen, that kid is very high-spirited, and he has always taken care of my apprentice, and at tomorrow's conference, I am afraid that he will want to ask Shaoxia for some martial arts swordsmanship." ”
It was inconvenient for her, an elder, to interfere in the matter of young people being jealous, but it was not just her apprentice who was involved, so she had to come forward to say a thing or two.
This made Lu Hanjiang look at her more, there are many people who are slow to clear up their involvement when they encounter things, but this kind of person who does not push out but takes it into his arms is indeed rare.
Shi Jiuning's thoughts, Lu Hanjiang could roughly guess that if Lu Wen targeted the Wudang disciples for no reason, it would inevitably be said behind people's backs, and it would not affect the relationship between the two factions, but if everyone knew that the little junior sister of Hengshan was also involved, it would be just an interesting incident of a young man, not worth mentioning.
She may have seen the contradiction between Lu Wen and Lu Hanjiang, and wanted to make peace from it, or she wanted to show an attitude, a consistent attitude of the Wuyue Sword Sect to the outside world.
This is a bit interesting, Lu Hanjiang replied with a smile: "Lu Shaoxia's Songshan swordsmanship is also quite looking forward to it." ”
After that, Lu Hanjiang left with Yongle, leaving Shi Jiuning sighed slightly, she patted the back of Shi Suxue's hand: "You, ......"
"Master, what's wrong?" The little girl turned her head blankly, unclear.
"Let's go." Shi Jiuning didn't say it explicitly, and the master and apprentice slowly left here.
After the two left, it rained in the sky after a while, and the scattered raindrops fell, and it became a torrential rain in an instant, and the ground was quickly wet, and the rain curtain across the sky shrouded the sky over Hengshan.
The heavy rain turned the ground muddy, and the man who was galloping all the way on his horse couldn't help but strangle the horse's rope, but it was not the rain curtain that stopped him, but the uninvited guests in front of him who were more than a dozen people in robes and hats.
"Dare to ask who is ahead! Why are you blocking the way down! ”
The man got off the horse with a soft snort, and saw that he was dressed in white, with a fluttering robe, in his early forties, with a long sword with green water patterns at his waist, his eyebrows were like swords, his appearance was handsome, and his demeanor was very chic.
The more than ten people who blocked the road did not reply, but at the moment when the leader raised his hand, Qi Qi threw off his coat to reveal the ink-colored flying fish suit below, and the repeating crossbow arrows in his hands were already wound in place, and they were shot out in unison.
The arrow that pierced through the rain curtain flew away, and the man in white changed his face, and dodged backwards with a light effort, and he sat down on his horse, and in a few screams of sorrow, he fell into a pool of blood with sharp arrows all over his body.
"Jin Yiwei!"
The man in white revealed the identities of these people in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what has been committed, and the laborers have come to ask for the guilt!" ”
"Wudang, Bai Jingnian?" The leader lifted the hat, and it was the deputy of the Jinyi Guard, Qianhu Cui, who smiled.
"Exactly down there." Bai Jingnian held the long sword, but it was not unsheathed.
Hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Cui Yixiao's face turned cold: "It has been verified that the body is positive, kill!" ”
More than a dozen people around put away the crossbow arrows that were shot in the air, pulled out the embroidered spring knife at their waists, and rushed forward murderously.
Bai Jingnian frowned when he saw this, he snorted lightly, the sword on his waist was unsheathed, the sharp sword qi seemed to block the rain, and he pointed at Cui with a sword and smiled: "Since you are not guilty and accountable, then you will not dare to obey your fate." ”
When the words fell, I saw a burst of sword light flashing wildly, Bai Jingnian's sword moves seemed to be endless, half-truths and half-truths seemed to be real and virtual sword qi stabbed out, and a sword picked up the embroidered spring knife in the hand of the oncoming Jinyiwei, and then held the sword forward again, and a sword light flew out, and the Jinyiwei fell to the ground and screamed bitterly with his blood-stained shoulder.
"Emerald Void Sword Technique."
Cui Yixiao's face was cold, he took out an object from his back, it seemed to be the same as an ordinary crossbow arrow, but in fact, it was a hidden mystery, he pulled the trigger and no arrow missed, but the mechanism on both sides of the crossbow arrow popped out, and in a blink of an eye, the crossbow arrow turned into a big bow.
He bent his bow and arrows, his eyes were fixed, and he stared at Bai Jingnian, who was comfortable in the siege of the Jinyi Guard, and then took a deep breath, and the bowstring, which was already tight to the extreme, was forcibly pulled by him a few points.
Sou!
With a fierce cry, the arrow exploded and turned into a streamer that hit Nabai for years, and in the chaos of the battle, he just caught the sound of breaking the wind, and the arrow was already approaching the door.
Bai Jing was a young boy with a sudden shrinkage, the instinct of his body saved his life, he turned his head away at the last moment, just a moment of lightning, an extra blood mark appeared on his cheek, a few drops splashed in the air, and after he knocked down the attacking brocade guard with another sword, the pain slowly came.
He stared at Cui Yi and smiled, and there was no contempt in his eyes: "What a handsome archery ....."
