Chapter Twenty-Three: The Daughter of the West

On this morning, Xia Yan came to the Feihe shop in the town as agreed, followed by Gu Zhantang.

Tu Su arrived first, looking at Gu Zhantang behind Xia Yan with a puzzled expression.

"He came to me early in the morning to practice his sword." Xia Yan pointed behind him, "I think, since the Wushan Sword Society also exchanges swordsmanship, it is better to bring him with you." ”

Tu Su smiled slightly and nodded.

The three of them hired two flying cranes, Nan Yujian took one alone, while Xia Yan and Gu Luozi rode the same crane and headed for the depths of the Wushan Mountain Range.

The Wushan Mountains are steep and steep, and high mountains and dangerous peaks abound.

The mountain as a whole is the steepest in the middle, and the surrounding area is relatively gentle.

And in the middle of the mountains, in the middle of the mountains, sits a valley.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there were four genius sword cultivators, who competed and enlightened here, and the four of them successively glimpsed the true meaning of the avenue, flew away, and became famous in the cultivation circle.

One of them is the founder of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, Yu Shizong.

This valley has since been known as the Valley of Asks, and the students of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy have followed the example of their ancestors and held the Wushan Sword Festival here every year.

Everyone sat down and talked about it, and at the same time they exchanged ideas for a while.

And those four sword cultivators, who are already the giants of the cultivation circle, are also quite supportive of this matter, and they will send their disciples to Wendao Valley every year to evaluate the cultivation of these juniors.

Xia Yan learned about these things by chatting with Tu Su yesterday, and at the same time, he knew in his heart that with Tu Su's current realm, she could not participate in this kind of sword meeting.

Because she became famous here two years ago.

This time, she took the initiative to come, just to bring up a senior who was still relatively lowly in her realm, lest she have no way out of cultivation in the future if she didn't get a good score in swordsmanship.

Her own interception of the Yuan Chong pulse healed her leg, and she was thinking about repaying her kindness.

But this is just a gesture for Xia Yan, how can the little girl think that it is her business.

At this time, Xia Yanren was on the back of Feihe, looking at the endless green mountains and green waters below, and his mood was still relatively happy.

Not only is the scenery below beautiful, but the things in the sky are also novel.

All kinds of birds are high or low, fast or slow.

Xia Yan also saw a group of wild geese and flew next to Feihe for a while.

As soon as he looked up, several black dots swept in the sky, and he went in the direction of Wushan Town behind him.

Xia Yan recognized these little things, this was one of the ways that flying pigeons and Wushan Town exchanged letters.

If Chen Wenbing didn't return to his hometown before, Xia Yan also planned to use flying pigeons to send a letter to the old man.

Thinking of the old man Xia Yuntian, he didn't know why, Xia Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

However, this mood did not last long, because soon, the Valley of Asking Dao arrived.

……

The venue of the Wushan Sword Society is on the edge of a stream in the valley.

In order to emulate the sages, there are not many artificial things here, what was in the past and what is now.

In fact, there are only four seats in the venue.

It was four large bluestones, two on each side of the stream, with a smooth and flat surface, covered with futons for sitting on.

Back then, the four masters rested on these four bluestones and sat and discussed.

In addition to these four stones, the rest of the place is a rocky beach, but fortunately, it is all pebbles, so as not to be awkward.

Xia Yan and the three of them came relatively early, and when they got off Feihe, they saw that there were not many people in the venue, there were dozens of them, and they were chatting on the edge of the stream in twos and threes.

"Minami Edgeworth!"

"Minami Edgeworth is here!"

"The chief of the Sword Society three years ago!"

"I haven't seen her for three years, and Tu Xuemei's demeanor is better than before."

"Who are these two people around her?"

"It's normal for a character like Minami to have two followers."

"Yes, look at the West Wangnu on our campus, there are hundreds of people in and out of the pomp and circumstance."

Xia Yan listened to these discussions in his ears, and then looked at the Nan Yujian beside him, and found that this girl's expression was not the same as in Wushan Town.

The first two times the two met, Xia Yan only felt that this woman was fairy, a little bit of a person who didn't eat the fireworks in the world.

After eating a few meals at home, he found that Tu Su was very easy-going and slow-talking on weekdays, except for being a little too beautiful, nothing else.

But as soon as she landed here, the fairy aura on this girl returned.

The expression is indifferent, the treasure is solemn, and the golden light behind the Bodhisattva is just a little bit away.

This shows that people have eaten and seen, and this kind of occasion can be held.

Looking at Gu Zhantang again, he still has the face of a creditor who looks at people with nostrils, and he is arrogant.

Originally, the three of them walked side by side after landing, Xia Yan pulled Gu Zhantang's sleeve, and the two men followed behind Tu Su.

Tu Su's legs and feet have basically recovered in the past two days, and he walked smoothly on the rocky beach, leading the two to a piece of bluestone.

There are only four seats in the venue, and who can sit down seems to depend on the qualifications.

How did the qualifications come about, naturally they were earned at the previous sword fairs.

The dozen or so students who came before didn't sit down, but Tu Su came directly to a piece of bluestone, looking like he was going to sit down.

I saw that the woman turned around and bowed slightly to Xia Yan: "Senior Xia, please take a seat." ”

Xia Yan waved his hand: "You are the famous Nan Yujian, who am I, don't harm me." ”

Tu Su Wan'er smiled, jumped on the bluestone, and sat down cross-legged.

Gu Zhantang pursed his lips and asked softly, "Xia Yan, why didn't she invite me to sit?" ”

Xia Yan glanced at him: "Because you really know how to sit." ”

After a few words, many flying cranes fell into the clouds over the venue, and the students arrived one after another.

Looking at the expressions and temperaments of these students, Xia Yan couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

These people are obviously different from the students of the South Campus I have met before.

The students of the South Campus also have a higher cultivation, Tu Su will not talk about it, and Jiang Xiaoai will have a fourfold cultivation.

However, they are more student-oriented, and they are still children by and large.

And those students who are not like children, basically live in Wushan Town, and they don't look like children.

At this time, the students who slowly gathered in the venue, although they looked relatively immature, did not look older than themselves, but their expressions were already adults.

Obviously, they are all precocious people, good seedlings of cultivation.

At this time, Gu Zhantang asked: "These people are all looking at the students, what's the matter, are there only three of us in the South Campus?" ”

"To be exact, she's the only one on the South Campus." Xia Yan looked at the one sitting on the bluestone, "We were brought in by someone." ”

"The South Campus is so despised by that?" Gu Zhantang asked.

"The South Campus has only been around for 10 years, and I am the first student." Xia Yan pointed to himself, "Other campuses, the shortest ones are hundreds of years old, with a deep heritage, higher requirements when recruiting students, and the talent and quality of students are naturally better." ”

"And how does she explain it?" Gu Zhantang pointed at Tu Su.

"I don't want it from other campuses." Tu Su said softly, "I can only come to the South Campus." ”

"You are a congenital mutant sword species, this kind of talent is not wanted by other campuses?" Gu Zhantang said in surprise.

Tu Su lowered his head slightly: "Because although my talent is good, my defects are even greater." ”

"What flaw?" Gu Zhantang became more and more puzzled.

Xia Yan reminded at this time: "Old Gu, look at the sky. ”

As soon as Gu Zhantang looked up, he saw that in the blue sky above the mountains, there was a fiery red, coming from the west.

The speed was obviously extremely fast, and after a while, the fiery red was close, and it was a large field of birds.

These birds are huge, each with a wingspan more than twice that of a crane, and there are thousands of them.

From a distance, it looks like it is red and bright, and when it is close, it is even more obscured.

Gu Zhantang looked up, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the muscles on his face trembled.

The rest of the room began to discuss:

"This is the Red Flame Eagle, the flying mount of the Western Regions Palace."

"There are thousands of heads, this is the Flying Red Flame Array of the Western Regions Army!"

"The Queen of the West is here!"

"I really didn't expect her to come."

"It's rare, Nan Yujian and the West Princess's daughter have arrived, and we'll see if this sword meeting will take place."

"Will North Kunlun and East Taixu come?"

"I heard no."

"North Kunlun went to the Northern Plains Desert to practice last year, and he has not returned yet."

"Dong Taixu retreated a month ago in order to prepare for the Great Sword."

In the midst of the discussion, these red flame eagles in the sky had already flown over the valley.

Thousands of red flame eagles with a wingspan of more than 10 meters hovered together, high and low, almost opaque from the bottom up.

It's like a huge lid that covers the whole valley.

The valley suddenly darkened, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Immediately after, in the very center of this huge lid, a gap appeared.

There was a ray of heavenly light, leaking down from this gap, and it shone right on the bluestone opposite Tu Su.

A young girl floated down this pillar of light, slowly and leisurely, and finally sat on the bluestone futon.

The girl was dressed in red, with a red dress, a red skirt, red leather boots, a high ponytail, and a red headband.

Apricot eyes and melon seed face, red lips and white teeth, shining in the pillar of light.

It's just that the expression is as if he has just woken up, and he is still a little angry when he gets up, and he looks up at the sky with an unhappy face: "Okay, you guys go back." ”

The heavens responded, and thousands of eagles rode like a bell, as if they were talking to a person: "Obey the orders of the county lord!" ”

"Wow!"

The red flame eagles flapped their wings one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they escaped into the clouds in the sky.

After sending this group of accompanying guards, the West Princesses looked at Nan Yujian, who was sitting cross-legged opposite, and said:

"Tu Su, I heard you're lame?"

Tu Su ignored her and looked down at his shoes.

Gu Zhantang said: "Hey, this girl opposite, if you appear like this in the future, you can't wear a skirt, you just walked away, do you know?" ”

As soon as Madman Gu said this, the surroundings were already very quiet, but now they are even quieter.

The West Princesses on the bluestone opposite were stunned.

Gu Zhantang patted Xia Yan: "Hey, you saw it just now, I didn't say nonsense, she is gone, right?" ”

Xia Yan rolled his eyes, then nodded reluctantly: "It's a little bit." ”

Only then did the West Princesses react and stood up with a look of shame: "You are looking for death!" ”

Tu Su raised his head and said lightly, "Jiang Yuan, sit down." ”

"Tu Su, can you stop me?" Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the West Prince, shouted.

Tu Su said coldly: "The Wushan Sword Society has its own rules, and I was the chief of the Sword Society three years ago. At present, among the students of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, only the chief five years ago, Senior Li Juling of Northern Kunlun has higher qualifications than me, and Senior Li will not participate this year, so this sword meeting will be presided over by me and sit down. ”

The West Princess's face turned pale with anger, and she snorted and gasped for a while, and then sat down again.

Tu Su glanced at the students present, and finally smiled at Xia Yan:

"Senior Xia, can we start?"

Xia Yan was speechless for a while, thinking to himself that you are the host, can you ask me?

However, he knew that it was the other party who was lifting himself, so he looked around and asked softly, "What about those VIPs?" ”

"The VIP has arrived, in the nearby mountains." Tu Su replied softly, "Immortals are different, and it is inconvenient for them to appear on such occasions. ”

"Okay, let's get started." Xia Yan said.
