Xia Yan on the deck of the building ship, today is the second time he has seen the fire on the north shore.

The first time was on the back of Nana, the Red Flame Eagle, not long after the fire broke out.

Looking at the fire in the sky at this time, it is estimated that the entire cottage has basically burned out.

This arsonist, Xia Yan could guess that it was the hidden stake guard, but it was not clear who this person was.

He looked at Chen Wenbing beside him and pointed to the fire in the distance: "Do you know who did it?" ”

Although Chen Wenbing's combat power is not strong, he is a lively person.

Li Juling of North Kunlun was secretly guarding his group, and of course he knew that the two had met before.

Now that he saw this fire again, he already knew it in his heart.

If others ask about this, Chen Gongzi will pretend to be stupid, but as Tu Su said before, Xia Yan is no one else.

Chen Wenbing then asked rhetorically: "I just saw a big eagle flying over the canal, it seems to be the red flame eagle of the Western Regions Palace, is it your other sworn sister also here?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded, "It's not just her, Dongtaixu Zhou Wuji is also here, and the two of them are now on those two warships, one after the other." ”

Chen Wenbing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "I thought you were staying at home all day before, and your communication skills were not strong, but it turned out that your level of ganging up is okay." ”

"Don't interrupt, I'll ask you." Xia Yan said dissatisfied.

Chen Wenbing smiled: "Since the West Princesses and Dong Taixu are here, and there is a Southern Imperial Sword sleeping next to you at this time, then the four chiefs of our Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace will all be here." ”

Xia Yan thought to himself, you are talking nonsense, if you add those three, isn't it the four chiefs?

But on second thought, it's not right.

He is the chief of the latest Wushan Sword Club, Chen Wenbing may not know about this, he was already on his way back to his hometown at that time.

What's more, the four chiefs, this is the inherent saying of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and it does not include themselves, and they can be regarded as the fifth greatest.

Xia Yan confirmed: "North Kunlun? ”

"Hmm." Chen Wenbing said, "Senior Li is a secret pile guard, and he saved me and Uncle Xia once before. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan was relieved.

Although the four chiefs of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace are all famous, their appearance is still different.

They are all congenital realms, but Xia Yan knows that the difference between congenital realms and congenital realms may be greater than that of people and dogs.

North Kunlun is indeed a lot stronger than the other three.

Lou Chuan seemed to be okay here, he turned his head to look at the shore, and he was a little worried about Gu Maniac.

I don't know how he's doing now.

……

Gu Zhantang was quietly walking through the dense forest.

He had already greeted Xia Yan's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

There are rules in the division, and the brothers and sisters collide in the same transaction, and they must decide the winner before making a deal.

The successive generations of the teacher, nine times out of ten, are like this, and they died at the hands of the same brothers.

When it comes to his own generation, only he and his senior brother are left, and the relationship is not ordinary.

This is the senior brother who passes on the art on behalf of the teacher, like a brother and a father.

Therefore, after leaving the school, when Gu Zhantang took over the transaction, he would deliberately avoid the senior brother.

Jing Feibai was generally active in the east of the Yuqing Dynasty, so Gu Zhantang went to pick up the business in the west.

The job of guarding Xia Yan was the customer's initiative to come to him, and it originally looked good.

Long-term trading, the price given by the customer is high.

Then Xia Yan, this kid is still an otaku, practicing at home all day long, and doesn't go out to cause trouble.

I can also take the time to go to the school palace to listen to it and confirm it with my kendo inheritance.

As a result, things have changed recently.

This guy is so good that he can't die, the sword species actually mutated, and then troubles followed.

There is a girl in the congenital realm around him at every turn, so Gu Zhantang can't hide it, so he can only show his hole cards with this kid, which means that you kid be honest.

Unexpectedly, this guy is still a filial son, thousands of miles to save his father, and he was careless for a while, and he actually agreed.

So, I collided with the senior brother in the east, where is the reason?

At present, there is still a big realm between him and his senior brother, and the fivefold peak of the day after tomorrow is facing the innate realm, and his own body ability is still taught by his senior brother.

It's not good, I have to die here tonight, Xia Yan, you bastard.

Complaining in his heart, Gu Zhantang's hands and feet were not messed up at all, and he was silent while moving quickly in the dense forest.

After Jing Fei's white sword slashed the eagle, he disappeared into this dense forest, which was an invitation to fight.

In the assassin duel, combat power is only secondary, the key is how to hide yourself and find the other party.

At this time, the night was dark, and the moonlight in the sky was sprinkled in the trees, and it was obscured by the canopy.

The light that really casts it can only keep people from hitting the trees on the walkway.

It is impossible to find it by the eyes, only by the ears and nose.

In the inheritance of the master, there are secret methods for sight, hearing, and smell, depending on where the talent of the successor is.

The two descendants of this generation, Jing Fei has good white ears and can "listen to the mountains and know the traces".

Gu Zhantang has a smart nose and is good at "smelling the wind and distinguishing the position".

The senior brother usually drinks heavily, and there is a smell of alcohol on his body, which is said to be very easy to smell.

But at this moment, Gu Zhantang couldn't smell him.

There's no way around it, his ability is taught by his senior brother, and he knows what he's good at.

But since he can't smell it, he knows which direction he is.

Exclusivity, touch the downwind, it's right.

And the senior brother has good ears, and if he touches it himself, he makes a slight sound, and once his whereabouts are exposed, it will be over.

In a head-to-head duel, he is not an opponent, he can only sneak attack.

So even if you touch the downwind, you can't go directly, even if you can't hear it, you can count it, you have to go around in circles.

But in this way, the travel path is longer, and this process is quite difficult for Gu Zhantang.

His whole body tensed, and every muscle in his body was under control, making sure that every step he took landed gently on the thick, soft soil.

There should be no stones, no fallen leaves, no small branches and the like.

In the hazy moonlight, the situation under his feet was not so clear, and as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, Gu Zhantang was taking risks at almost every step.

His heart slowed, and his breath was thin and long, carefully discerning every smell that poured into his nostrils.

Finally, a very faint smell of wine wafted into the nose.

The wine is good, and her daughter who has been more than 18 years old is red, which the senior brother usually likes to drink.

Ten meters in front of the person on the left, on the tree.

At this distance, you can draw a sword.

With the lightest force with the thumb of his left hand, Gu Zhantang pushed out the middle and long sword of the scabbard by half an inch, and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

He lifted his left foot slightly, took a step forward, and looked for a stump with sufficient power under his feet.

Once this foot is firmly stepped on, you can kick the sword out of the ground.

But it was this one that had an accident.

A rope sleeve suddenly tightened, locking Gu Zhantang's feet and neck.

The trees that were slightly lodging around them immediately stood upright, drove the rope sleeve to slip, and washed Gu Zhantang's head down and hung it in the air.

The figure in front of him flickered, Jing Feibai held the sword, raised his head forty-five degrees and looked at his junior brother:

"Just drill a set, what have you been doing in the past few years, you haven't grown at all."

Gu Zhantang's hair was all hanging upside down at this moment, and the expression on his face was very depressed, and he didn't say anything.

Jing Feibai suddenly took out his sword, swept it over Gu Zhantang's head, and then reached out and grabbed the handful of hair that had fallen.

"I'll take the hair as the head today, and spare your life." Jing Feibai said coldly, "Don't interfere in the next thing, there are more important things for you to do." ”

Gu Zhantang's face was dead, and he said: "Senior brother, even if I don't die, I am not qualified to take over the transaction anymore, what else is important, you might as well kill me now." ”

Jing Feibai shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Zhantang's face: "Little junior brother, do you know why the master accepted you, and then before he died, he told me a thousand times that he must let me raise you?" ”

Gu Zhantang was stunned and shook his head.

Jing Feibai smiled slightly: "What I told you before, what our sect has a long history in the Yuqing Dynasty, and the inheritance of thirty-two generations is actually nonsense.

You were still young at the time, and you made up a few stories to deceive you, but you believed whatever I said anyway, which was fun.

It's a pity that when you grow up, you always ask questions that I can't answer, and it's not so fun. ”

"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" Gu Zhantang muttered.

Jing Feibai's expression became serious, and he said, "Gu Zhantang, you listen well."

Our sect is not a secular secret sect, but a cultivation sect.

You and my ancestors were once enlightened giants in the cultivation world.

It's a pity that his old man doesn't know anyone, he was killed by his disciples, and the sect was also dismissed.

You and my master, the youngest disciple of the ancestor, were beaten to the point of cultivation by that traitor brother, and had to flee to the mortal Yuqing Dynasty.

Therefore, the inheritance of you and me is not some secular secret tradition, but a spiritual inheritance.

The master was already seriously injured, and he had been suffering in this mortal world for thirty years in order to find a suitable cultivation seed that could inherit the sect and return to the cultivation world.

I have average talent, and it was only a temporary expediency for Master to teach me, but fortunately, Master found you in the end.

At that time, the master couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only be reincarnated by the soldiers, and I passed on the art on behalf of the teacher.

So, Gu Zhantang, do you think you're just an assassin or a guard, and you won't be able to survive if you don't take the deal?

You must not underestimate yourself so much.

You are the master's favorite, and I have taught it with my own hands.

Your current deal, protecting Xia Yan, and entering the Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace by the way to observe, was arranged by me.

Xia Yan and they want to participate in the sword discussion in the academy, you don't have to participate, because you are already a cultivator.

You have to go to Qingyun to kill the culprit and revive your and my sect.

In this case, does it matter whether you do this business or not? ”

Gu Zhantang listened blankly, then nodded: "Important." ”

Jing Feibai laughed angrily: "Are you stupid?" ””

"I'm not stupid." Gu Zhantang shook his head, "If I don't continue to take this deal, I will be stupid." ”

Jing Feibai asked, "Why?" ”

"Because Xia Yan is very important." Gu Zhantang said, "For such a big thing as reviving the sect, I will definitely not be enough alone, he will help me." ”

Jing Feibai frowned: "Why should he help you." ”

"Because he's Xia Yan." Gu Zhantang said, "Senior brother, if what you just said is true, then if you withdraw from this deal, the Xia family's father and son must protect it." ”

"No......" Jing Feibai seemed to be a little at a loss, and spun around in place before asking, "Are you sure?" ”

Gu Zhantang nodded: "Sure." ”
