Chapter 13: The Sword Rises Like a Dragon (I)
Senior Brother Liu was so high-profile and flamboyant that Xue Zhenjun didn't know how to pick up the stubble for a while. Senior Brother Liu glanced at Xue Zhenqi with a sigh, and said, "That's it, it's a pity that Senior Brother Xue is new...... I went to the back mountain to see if the martial brother had ever been out of the customs, he was fond of swords, and if he broke through the barrier, he would be happy to hear the battle. ”
Passing by by mistake, Senior Brother Liu hurriedly went to the back mountain. Xue Zhenjun stopped in place for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart. How could the descendants of the world's number one swordsman be so unpopular in the eyes of Senior Brother Liu?
When I entered the Zixiao Palace, I saw that everything was as usual. Senior Brother Wang stayed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion as usual, holding the scriptures and stroking his beard to study. The Taoists next to him didn't see any different colors, except for a few pyrotechnic laymen whispering.
Xue Zhenjun returned to the ear room, rested for a while, and then Niu Er went to the door with the food box.
"Xiaodao Chief, the Sprinkle family is here to bring you food!"
The food box is placed on the table, and the rammed goods are about to leave.
Xue Zhenjun hurriedly stopped.
Niu Er stared at the bull's eyes and was very puzzled: "Is there anything else wrong with the little Taoist?" ”
"Do you know that the children of the Hua family are going to go up the mountain to compete in swords today?"
"Nature knows."
Xue Zhenjun said: "I heard that the Hua family's swordsmanship is unique in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know if Senior Brother Liu can win this battle." ”
The second cow glared and said, "The little Taoist is laughing!" That Hua Shaocong is only famous in the rivers and lakes, and he has practiced in his mother's womb, but after 20 years of work, how can he compare to Liu Daochang? Moreover, the Hua family's swordsmanship is only superior, where can it compare to the swordsmanship of the Zixiao Palace's three plates and nine factions? ”
Xue Zhenjun thought about it for a while, and probably understood the meaning of Niu Er's ramming. Probably, it's not the Hua family's swordsmanship that is powerful, but the person who Hua Yun was a hundred years ago, in fact, the Hua family's swordsmanship is just superior, not peerless.
What's more, the gap between ordinary martial artists and Daomen true cultivators is unreasonable!
"I see, have Niu Jushi ever practiced martial arts in the past?"
Niu Erhan said with a smile: "I have learned the crop style for a few years, and the Sprinkle family has broken out of the name of 'Black Whirlwind' in Shaanxi." ”
Xue Zhenjun was in awe: "The layman used a Xuanhua board axe?" ”
Niu Er blinked: "It's a cooked copper stick that is sprinkled at home." ”
Xue Zhenquan secretly complained to himself, fortunately he didn't use a plate axe, otherwise he would have thought that this product was the prototype of Li Kui.
After pulling Niu Er to chat for a long time, Xue Zhenjun had a little understanding of the rivers and lakes at this time. At this time, the people in the rivers and lakes either mixed with the six doors or mixed with the thieves' nest. Like the Hua family, who can eat both black and white, it is a minority of the few.
There is an inheritance of internal strength in the rivers and lakes, but it has been passed down from the Daomen, and it has been improved several times, and then it has become a method of exhalation that allows the lungs to adapt to the strength of the force.
Happily, Niu Er also took Xue Zhenjun to the courtyard to demonstrate. But seeing that Niu Er suddenly spit out a few times, his face suddenly turned red, and he yelled 'hey', and then his hand rose and fell, and he forcibly split a palm-sized pebble in half.
Xue Zhenjun immediately applauded in response to the occasion. I secretly thought in my heart, this splitting pebbles is more technical than splitting bricks, right? It's just that Niu is two or five big and three thick, and his arms are thicker than his thighs, so I really can't say whether his strength is internal strength or pure muscle strength.
Scribbled a bite, and Niu Er, who was praised and smiled, walked away with the food box. Xue Zhenjun paced in the room to eat, and was waiting to rest for a while, when Niu Er went and returned.
"The trail is long, Hua Shaocong has entered the mountain gate. If you want to see the competition, it's best to wear it quickly. ”
"Okay, I'll be right here."
Xue Wei immediately jumped out of bed, dressed neatly for three times and five divided by two, surrounded Dayu and followed Niu Er and hurriedly left.
As soon as he came out of the West Dao Temple, he saw a group of people turning out of the Shifang Palace. In front of him, a young man in Xuanyi walked side by side, and then there were four men, four women, and eight sword-wielding attendants.
These eight pairs of eyes are full of energy, and they are powerful, and they are practicing at a glance. Look at the young man in Xuanyi again, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but only twenty years, easy-going speech but eyes like electricity, the whole person is like an unsheathed sword.
Niu Er and Xue Zhenjun looked at each other in front of the door, and the former pouted: "Burn the bun!" ”
This rammer originally had a lot of voice, even if he lowered his voice, he was still heard by Lian Jiazi.
The woman holding a sword frowned when she heard this, and her long sword was half unsheathed: "If you dare to disrespect the young master of my family again, be careful of the dog's head on your neck!" ”
Niu Er is not fake, but he is not a fool, so he immediately shrunk his neck and pretended not to hear.
The young man in Xuanyi just glanced at it casually, and said gently: "It's just some gossip, get jade, why don't you quickly collect the sword?" ”
"Yes, the slave is rude."
The Zhike Taoist didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "Hua Jushi, ahead is the Zixiao Palace." Is the layman the first to incense, or to try the sword first? ”
Hua Shaocong said: "In front of the Emperor Zhenwu, how can you put on a stick of incense first." ”
Zhike Taoist nodded, led the way, and took Hua Shaocong up the three stone steps and entered the main hall. But after half a moment, Hua Shaocong turned around and came out, and sat with a sword on his knees under the stone steps, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Zhike Daoist chased after the general and said, "Forgive me, Hua Jushi, Daochang Liu has not returned yet, and I am afraid that I will be delayed for a while with this sword test...... Why don't you move to the Shifang Hall to rest for a while? ”
That Hua Shaocong shook his head and said, "I'll wait here." ”
Xue Zhenjun and Niu Er watched for a long time, and they didn't see Liu Zhenying fighting. At this time, the clouds were thick, the breeze was rising, and in the blink of an eye, snowflakes were falling.
Even though Xue Zhenjun surrounded Dayu, he still couldn't help but shiver coldly.
Niu Er muttered on the side: "Why is Daochang Liu so unhappy? Three or two swords sent that boy away, how long will it take to delay like this? Hey? I'm afraid it's cold? If you and I are warm in the side hall? ”
"Okay, let's go."
Xue Zhenjun, who was as cold as the third grandson, immediately became kind. If it weren't for the man's martial arts dream in his heart, the fool would be frozen with this.
The two of them walked quickly to the side hall on the west side, and the Taoist priest on duty didn't say much when he saw the two of them coming in, but said: "Needless to say, you must have come to see the excitement." Close the door and close the door, you can't fight for a moment and a half, and it's not too late to open the door when you start fighting. ”
Xue Zhenjun saw the salute for the first time, and only after greeting did he know that this person was a disciple of Shifangtang, his Taoist name was Huang Zhenqian, and he was in the order of entry, and Xue Zhenjun had to call him a senior brother.
Senior Brother Huang is only in his early twenties, and he is very gossip and extremely enthusiastic. Immediately moved the chairs for the two to sit down, and moved the brazier to roast the fire.
After chatting for a long time, I heard someone in the side hall next door shouting: "It's coming, Senior Brother Liu is here!" ”
The three people in the hall got up almost at the same time and rushed towards the entrance of the hall.
When the door of the hall was opened, when he raised his eyes, he saw Senior Brother Liu, who was dressed in a hundred clothes, frowning, and slowly pacing down the stairs with a three-foot Qingfeng.
Before the fight started, Xue Zhenjun said, "Why is Senior Brother Huang so hot-eyed? ”
Senior Brother Huang said: "Hey, I was born clumsy, I haven't learned boxing all the way for three years, and I almost hurt myself several times in swordsmanship." Now that I have already lost the idea of learning swords, I can only get over my addiction. ”
Xue Zhenjun said with relief: "Senior brother, don't you know that it is clumsy? It is impossible to say that the senior brother has practiced a punch for three years, and after he has completed his studies, he will not be able to make a sound, and he will be a blockbuster. ”
Senior Brother Huang just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, I know that I am clumsy, I can't enter the Tao, and I can't learn martial arts, I just want to be the abbot of one side in the future, so comforting to live in my life." ”
Xue Zhenjun secretly observed his words and looks, and saw that this Senior Brother Huang was sincere, but he was afraid that he was telling the truth, so he didn't say anything more.
At the moment, Senior Brother Liu stopped outside Hua Shaocong's three zhang with his sword, and said, "Zixiao Liu Zhenying, I have seen Hua Jushi." ”
That Hua Shaocong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like electricity, as if Qingfeng had come out of his sheath. He stood up, held the long sword in his left hand, looked up and down, and said: "I heard that Liu Daochang is a true cultivator of the descendant temple, I don't know how many years I have been in the mountain gate?" ”
Liu Zhenying said in a sullen voice: "I'm ashamed, I've been in the mountain for six years, and I have to practice only a little bit." ”
Hua Shaocong said: "Six years? How many years has Liu Daochang practiced swords? ”
Liu Zhenying pondered: "About three years. ”
"Three years?" Hua Shaocong's face turned red suddenly, he chuckled, and said angrily: "I have heard for a long time that Zixiao Palace has three plates and nine factions, and the swordsmanship is the best of the best. Can choose a person like Liu Daochang who has only practiced swords for three years and is trying the sword under it, is it ...... Something too frivolous? ”
Liu Zhenying was stunned, and then said sincerely: "It's not Jian Manhua, it's really the rest of the brothers and sisters in the descendants temple who have important things, the people who go down the mountain, the retreat who retreats, and the new senior brother Xue who goes out, I am the only idler left." Please forgive me. ”
Hua Shaocong chuckled and said: "Xuanyuan is a will, seeking virtue and Zhen is always there, since there is no one available for Zhenzi, why not invite the seniors of the German generation?" ”
Liu Zhenying said with a smile: "The uncles and uncles are also flawless. ”
"Huh...... That's it, thinking that Liu Daochang was defeated, naturally there were German seniors to fight. Please! ”
"Uh...... Please! Liu Zhenying bowed, stood in front of him, and did not mean to draw his sword at all.
Hua Shaocong calmed down, raised the sword to his right shoulder with his left hand, and pressed the hilt with his right hand. The thumb pressed the machine spring, but when he heard a loud sound, the shark skin scabbard smashed towards Liu Zhenying like a bolt of lightning, and at the same time, Hua Shaocong was like a meteor catching the moon, followed by a sword and stabbed.
The scabbard and the sword followed one after the other.
Niu Er, who was watching the hall, gasped: "The flower boy has two hits!" This trick throws stones to ask for directions, but I'm afraid that there is already seventy percent of the fire! ”
Xue Zhenjun blinked his eyes and only watched the excitement, but since Niu Er said that it was powerful, then he did have some ways to come to this Hua Shaocong. The afterglow swept to the figure shaking, and when he turned his head, he saw a group of Kun Dao turning out of the host courtyard.
Those Kun Dao are not very old, and there is a petite figure in them, but it is Yin Suqing, the princess of Qixia.
Xue Zhenjun coughed twice in an attempt to attract Yin Suqing's attention, but was muffled by the cheers in the audience. That Yin Suqing only swept around, and then looked at the field intently.
Xue Zhenjun knew that colluding too deeply with Yin Suqing would cause gossip, so he didn't think about it and concentrated on watching the game in the field.
In the blink of an eye, Senior Brother Liu and Hua Shaocong had already hit the top of the steps from the bottom of the steps. Senior Brother Liu still never drew his sword, only used the scabbard of his left hand to occasionally block, and his steps seemed to be drunk, flickering left and right, only letting Hua Shaocong's sword light spill it so that oil and water could not splash it!
