Straw boats borrow arrows
Mokong Ni said: "Could it be your father, Tang Ao Tang Tanhua, who lives in the Baixiang Qu at the foot of the mountain?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "Exactly." ”
Only then did he slow down. It turned out that although Tang Ao was only a scholar, he had become brothers with Xu Jingye, Luo Bingwang, Wei Siwen and others. After that, although Tang Ao was hit by Tanhua in the palace examination, because the old things were revealed, although Wu Zetian failed to find evidence of his conspiracy with Xu Jingye and others, he still removed him from his reputation.
And Song Liangzhen is actually the youngest daughter of Li Zhen, the king of loyalty, although Qiao Qin rescued two babies from the Zhongyong Mansion that day, but was also chased by Wu Zetian, he entrusted the baby boy to an old acquaintance in Songjia Village, Hedong, and rushed to Lingnan with the baby girl, wanting to entrust it to Tang Ao, but he didn't want to be attacked on the way, seriously injured, and reluctantly took his wife and the baby girl to Jianshan, and unfortunately died.
Mokong Ni was disheartened by the death of her husband, and thought that Wu Cao was searching for Li Tang's remnants everywhere, and Tang Ao's friendship with Xu Jingye, Luo Binwang and others happened to be sued to the court at this time, and he may not be able to save himself, and handing over the baby girl to Tang Ao was afraid that it would only harm the Tang family, so he simply built a nunnery in the mountain and quietly lived with the baby girl.
After knowing that Tang Xiaofeng was Tang Ao's son, Mo Kongni was relieved, but Yan Zixuan glanced at Tang Xiaofeng suspiciously, thinking that Xiaofeng didn't say that his parents died? And he never said that he lived in Baixiangqu.
There was a roar from above, and the nunnery shook even more. Mokong Ni thought to himself, "Even with the flying sword, it will still be a little difficult for these two children to get rid of the monsters outside. ”
Thinking of this, she took out a scroll of paper from the corner and said, "This is a sword move that my husband got when he was alive, and he once said that if this sword style is practiced by two people, it will have an unexpected effect. It's a pity that although I know some formations, I don't know swordsmanship, so I can't practice with him. You might as well give it a try, and you might as well defeat that youkai. ”
Tang Xiaofeng took the paper scroll, unfolded it, and saw a line of small words written on it - "Wind and thunder break through the nine skies".
Although he got a flying sword, he couldn't use it all at once.
Tang Xiaofeng sat on the ground with the sword in his hand, silently in his heart, and poured his divine sense and sword qi into the sword.
Yan Zixuan took advantage of this time to study the sword style there. In the stele of the weeping pavilion, her comment is "young knowledge of the way of swordsman, long through the opportunity of the Yuanmiao", although young at this time, but already intelligent, a little bit of the sword, quickly figured out the mystery of this sword style.
She thought in her heart: "It turns out that this sword style is to teach people how to mix their own sword qi with wind and thunder qi, and when facing the enemy, the wind and thunder intersect, give birth to a thunderbolt, and severely damage the enemy. If a person has dual swords at the same time, he can also use them, but now there is not much time, and Xiao Feng and I can only practice the wind trick and the thunder trick together, and cooperate with each other to use this trick. ”
After comprehending it, after Tang Xiaofeng finished injecting the flying sword into her divine sense, she immediately taught Tang Xiaofeng the thunder trick in it and practiced the wind trick by herself. The two of them have comparable heavenly capital, and on that day they found the Yan sword spectrum together, cultivated together, and coincidentally practiced Huang Hua's sword qi on the same day, which can be seen.
In just a moment, Yan Zixuan's sword qi carried the wind, his body was as light as a swallow, and Tang Xiaofeng's sword light flashed, and it was extremely powerful. The two tried to follow the sword style teaching, pinched the sword trick, each took out the sword, the tip of the sword collided, only to hear a loud bang, the stone chamber shook cracks, and countless broken stones were sprinkled.
Yan Zixuan said happily: "We just used a little bit of sword qi, and it has this effect, if we do it with all our might, no matter how powerful the monster is, there is no need to be afraid." ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "Although I only used a little sword qi, my fingers were a little numb, if we used all our strength, we were afraid that we would be shocked and unbearable." This trick must be used at a critical moment to be effective. ”
Yan Zixuan said: "Have you noticed that when you hold the sword trick, even if you don't have to make this move, we are much stronger than before?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Well, just by pinching the Lei Jue, I feel that the sword qi I have chopped out is a lot stronger." ”
Yan Zixuan said: "Me too, when I pinch the wind trick, I feel that the whole person seems to be blown up by the wind, it seems that the wind and thunder are kept in the body, even if you don't have to use this trick 'wind and thunder to break the nine skies', there is no wonder." When we fight that monster, we keep it that way, and we might be able to defeat it. ”
Tang Xiaofeng was about to answer, but there was a strong vibration from above, and the two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, they swept out of the dark room with sword qi, and came to the Buddha statue after only a while.
Looking out, I saw that the demon wind had hit the gate of the nunnery, and the heat was billowing inside. Mokong Ni said in a low voice: "The demon is about to break the formation, and I'm afraid that this nunnery can't be saved." ”
Yan Zixuan gritted her teeth: "Xiaofeng, let's go out and fight it." ”
Tang Xiaofeng looked at Mokong Ni and said, "After we go out, please take Sister Liangzhen down the mountain from the back door immediately and live at my house for a while, if we win, we will naturally go to you, if we die, it will not affect Mrs. Shi and Sister Liangzhen." ”
Alas, I am indeed a good boy for the sake of others!
Seeing Yan Zixuan's resolute expression, Mokong Ni had a chivalrous spirit of ignoring himself, and nodded secretly.
Seeing Tang Xiaofeng's eyes dripping, he couldn't see what he was thinking, thinking that the essence of this child was only afraid of some problems.
At that moment, Yan and Tang drove themselves with sword qi, and flew out of the nunnery in an instant, penetrating the demon fire, followed by sword qi rushing into the sky, and the wind and sand rolled wildly.
Mo Kongni slipped out of the back door with Song Liangzhen and drove down the mountain.
Song Liangzhen turned his head and saw that the night sky was covered by dark clouds, the stars and the moon were dark, and the nunnery was blazing, and then it collapsed, so he silently wished in his heart: "Buddha protection, I hope the two of them are safe." ”
The man in black stood on the grass with his hands behind his back.
Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan each lit a branch and pointed at the enemy with their swords. In the distance, the flames rushed into the sky, reflecting their faces red.
The man in black glanced at them coldly, his gaze cold and sharp.
Yan Zixuan screamed, jumped up, and slashed at the enemy. Tang Xiaofeng shot at the same time, threw the flying sword, and the second shot came first, hitting the man in black like lightning.
The man in black dodged the flying sword, and a ball of demonic fire erupted towards Yan Zixuan in his mouth. Yan Zixuan had already known the opportunity to float away, and at the same time shot out the flying sword in his hand. The two of them fought together, and the man in black saw the two flying swords that were spinning around him, one of which was fierce and the other was erratic, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that after these two children escaped for a day, their skills were much more powerful than yesterday.
It's just that although Tang and Yan are good at it, this man in black is a Tiger Demon of Weiyu Mountain who has been cultivating for more than 200 years, and where can they be compared to these two children who have only practiced swordsmanship for half a year? I saw that he sometimes turned into a black wind, and sometimes appeared in human form, Tang and Yan spun around with flying swords, but they couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
Tang Xiaofeng knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so he quietly glanced at Yan Zixuan. The two of them roared angrily, the other coquettishly, and jumped up at the same time, with amazing momentum.
The man in black couldn't help but pause when he saw that their sword qi suddenly skyrocketed, as if he was going to use some amazing means, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he became vigilant.
Yan Zixuan took advantage of his hesitation, secretly pinched the wind trick, folded his body, changed direction at once, held Tang Xiaofeng with his little hand, and took him around. The two of them stepped on the branches at the same time, secretly skillful, and suddenly went into the distance.
The man in black saw that the two children made a tough posture, but it turned out that he wanted to escape, and he was actually frightened by them, and he was angry and funny for a while. He thought that it would be difficult to find the two children who jumped into the river again, so he turned into a black wind and rushed straight away like a tidal wave, tearing their thin figures directly to pieces.
Seeing that the two children were about to be swept into the wind and sand, the man in black sneered. However, at this moment, Tang and Yan suddenly turned around, and the flying sword cut through the void and shot over like lightning. The man in black had a bad heart, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
The two sword lights shot into the wind and sand, colliding with each other, only to hear a bang, the energy rolled wildly, and the wind and sand leaked wildly.
Yan and Tang glanced at each other, and when they saw the bright red blood rain sprinkled in the black wind, they knew that they had hit this monster hard, and they were pleasantly surprised. The two of them withdrew their flying swords, only to feel that the blood and qi in their bodies were surging, and their strength was exhausted...... Although the power of this move "Wind and Thunder Breaking the Nine Heavens" is great, the sword qi that is lost is also very amazing.
They gasped lightly and watched nervously at the black wind that the tiger demon had transformed, hoping to get rid of it.
However, after a struggle, the black wind rose bigger and bigger, turning into a black giant tiger that stood up to the sky. The giant tiger was drenched in blood, but its ferocious appearance remained undiminished. The giant tiger roared at them, spewing out fierce demonic fire, engulfing all the trees within half a mile.
The figures of the two children were engulfed in demon fire at once.
The black tiger demon snorted coldly and stopped there panting.
It thought that it would be easy to deal with two children who were new to swordsmanship, but it didn't expect that it would be hurt by those two children if it was careless, and the anger in its heart can be imagined. Now that the two children are dead, it doesn't want to stay any longer, it wants to leave here and go back to recuperate.
At this moment, two figures suddenly burst out from it, and these two thin figures jumped extremely high and swept extremely fast, and they rushed to the front of the black tiger demon. The black tiger demon Fang was stunned, and two sword lights burst out, piercing both of its eyes at the same time.
It turned out that the moment this monster turned into a vicious giant tiger, Tang Xiaoshan already knew that it was bad, but he didn't flee to other places, but pulled Yan Zixuan to it. This evil tiger became too big, and although the range of demon fire spewed out was very large, he failed to notice himself**, and was attacked by Tang and Yan instead.
The black tiger demon was blinded by stabbing eyes, rolling on the ground in pain, and then spitting out the demon fire and sweeping the giant palm.
Tang and Yan were worried about being injured by it, so they stepped on the flying sword hand in hand, flew to the cliff in the distance, turned around, and saw that the fire below was raging, and the tiger demon was rolling and spraying around.
Tang Xiaoshan said: "If it continues to be destroyed like this, I am afraid that the Baixiangqu under the mountain will also be affected by the fire." ”
Yan Zixuan said: "Kill it." ”
The two of them took a deep breath, raised the Huang Hua sword qi in their bodies to the extreme, and then injected it into the flying sword.
The two shot at the same time, and the sword light shot out like thunder, piercing into the body of the demon tiger, and a thunderbolt pierced through the clouds and hit the demon tiger, only to hear a loud bang, and the demon tiger was torn apart. The two of them withdrew their flying swords, and kept panting there, this move "Wind and Thunder Breaking the Nine Skies" was able to trigger the heavenly thunder with all their might, which really surprised them.
The thunder stirred up the dark clouds in the night sky, and after the lightning and thunder, the showers poured down and the fire began to decay.
Yan Zixuan said: "Now, let's see if it's still dead." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard an angry roar: "You will also give me death." ”
A black shadow flew out of the sea of fire, and with despair and unwillingness, it rushed towards them. It turned out that although the tiger demon was shattered by the thunder, with infinite anger and the last bit of demonic power, it reunited the broken body, wanting to rush up and die with the two children.
Tang and Yan didn't expect that this demon tiger could actually send out a near-death blow, and they were all discolored. They used their whole body sword qi to cast the "Wind and Thunder Breaking the Nine Skies", and now not only could they not make any counterattacks, but they even lost the strength to escape.
At this moment, a sword light suddenly slashed from the sky and stabbed at the black shadow, and the black shadow let out a miserable scream, exploding into countless flesh and blood in front of Tang and Yan.
Tang Xiaofeng pulled Yan Zixuan back a few steps, and saw that the ground was full of red pieces of meat, and he was disgusted. He knew that someone had saved him, so he looked up, but saw a figure flying in the night sky, and it was a handsome young man who landed in front of them.
Tang Xiaofeng saw that this person was coming with a sword qi imperial sword, much faster than they were stepping on the flying sword, and knew that this was the real sword escape. He looked at the visitor and asked, "......Who is this big brother?"
The young man hugged his fists and said, "Hedong Yanyong! ”
Hearing this person's self-reported name, Yan Zixuan thought: "It turns out that he is a member of the Yan family in Hedong, I heard that the Yan family is a famous swordsman family, this person came with a sword, and saved us in an instant, but I didn't even see his sword qi clearly, he is much more powerful than me and Xiaofeng." ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought of it: "It turns out that he is Yan Yong." ”
In the previous life, Tang Xiaofeng was very interested in legendary characters like Sword Fairy Swordsman, and because of this, when he watched "Mirror Flower", he had a good impression of several swordsmen who appeared in the book. This Yan Yong has a younger sister, whose name is Yan Ziqiong, who is also a female swordsman with extraordinary skills, but unfortunately she ended up in a bleak end, and she fell into the enemy formation by mistake in the battle against Zhou Futang and died under the chaotic horse.
"Thank you Brother Yan for your help just now, why did Brother Yan happen to come here?" As a good child who loves five stresses, four beauties and three loves, Tang Xiaofeng first showed a sweet smile.
Yan Yong saw that although these two children were much younger than him, their bodies were covered with dust, and they were almost alive in the battle with the monsters, their faces were still fresh, and they couldn't see the slightest fear, so they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He told the story that the monster had broken into the county government and killed Zhu County's order, and said: "I originally wanted to go to Baihuaqu to see if I could find you, but I first saw that the fire here was soaring, and it was mixed with demon energy and sword energy, so I came to take a look, fortunately you are fine." ”
Tang Xiaofeng knew why the monster was able to find Ping'an Village, and thought that Zhu Dihua was affected by himself and died of his father, but he felt a little sad for her.
Yan Zixuan thought that although this monster had been killed, her grandmother and the innocent people in the village had died, and her heart was also sour.
At this time, the showers not only did not stop, but became heavier and heavier. Yan Yong said: "Fortunately, with this heavy rain, the fire should not spread, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, and then talk about it in detail." ”
Tang Xiaofeng nodded, but said again: "What is this?" ”
Yan Yong and Yan Zixuan looked along his fingers, but saw that the flesh and blood on the ground were washed away by the rain, revealing a dark token. Tang Xiaofeng picked up the token and saw that the words "Wei Yu, Sixteen" were written on it.
When Yan Yong saw the token, his face changed slightly, and he said: "This is the mountainside card of Weiyu Mountain, and those who died here are the sixteenth-ranked 'Thorough Tigers' of the Yi Demon Gate of Weiyu Mountain?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself: "How many displacements? It's a weird name, but since it's a youkai, it's not surprising to have such a strange name. ”
Seeing Yan Yong's ugly face, he knew that this tiger demon was only afraid of some origins, so he asked carefully, "What is this Yi Demon Gate?" ”
Yan Yong said: "Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first." ”
The three of them found a cave to hide in, sat on the ground, Yan Yong asked about the battle between Tang and Yan and the tiger demon, and became more and more sure that the tiger demon was the "thorough tiger" of Weiyu Mountain.
Yan Yong thought in his heart: "That wandering tiger demon who has been cultivating for more than two hundred years can't imagine that he will die here. Although Liuliduo died under my sword in the end, when I took out the sword, it was clearly scarred, and it was just that with its last breath, it wanted to die with these two children, and it was really not to be underestimated that these two children were able to force Liuliduo into such a desperate situation. ”
He said: "Weiyu Mountain ranks second among the top ten caves in the world, second only to Wangwu Mountain, which ranks first. And Yi Demon Gate is a demon alliance that gathers many well-known monsters in the Central Plains, and almost no one dares to mess with it above the rivers and lakes. And the master of the Yi Demon Gate, it is precisely the father who has been displaced, is a tiger demon who has been cultivated for thousands of years, I heard that it was originally the mount of a certain immortal god in the upper realm, and then went down to earth without permission, and did evil in the lower realm, you killed its son here, I am afraid that it will not let you go. ”
Tang Xiaofeng vomited powerlessly in his heart: "I killed a vicious tiger in Pengling, and the father of the evil tiger ran out, and now I finally killed its dad, its dad still has a dad, this is really endless." ”
He smiled wryly, "So what should we do now?" ”
Yan Yong pondered for a moment and said, "The power of the Yi Demon Sect is only in the Central Plains, if you stay here, you will inevitably be found by them, and at that time, even your family will be implicated." Only now, I am afraid that you can only go overseas, temporarily avoid them, and then return to the Central Plains when you have cultivated excellent swordsmanship in the future and are no longer afraid of them. ”
Yan Zixuan sighed lightly and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought in his heart: "This guy is afraid that he also hides some selfish intentions, although most of the exiles died because of us, but in the end it was this guy surnamed Yan who gave it a sword, he let us go overseas, ostensibly for our sake, but in fact, he was also afraid that we would be found by the Yi Demon Gate and involve his Yan family." ”
I thought again: "Whatever, it's not interesting to stay in Lingnan, and it's not bad to go overseas." As for what kind of demon sect it is, even if they don't find me, if they really want to find me, I told them in the first sentence that the one who is more displaced and less is killed by this surnamed Yan...... My father taught me from a young age to be honest! ”
At that moment, Tang Xiaofeng wrote a letter and asked Yan Yong to bring it to Tang's house for him. He knew that his father's greatest wish was to oppose the Zhou Dynasty and restore the Tang Dynasty, so he found an excuse in the letter, saying that although he was young, he knew the truth of the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, and ran away from home to learn the way of swordsmanship, hoping to one day be able to contribute to the revival of the Tang Dynasty.
Yan Yong took the letter down the mountain and came to Tang's house, at this time, Tang Ao had already dispelled the idea of going to sea because of the disappearance of his young son, and stayed at home.
Tang Xiaoshan knows his younger brother better than Tang Ao, who is a father, and knows that his younger brother has always had a tight belly, and most of this letter is written to deceive people, but Tang Xiaofeng is gone, and she doesn't know where to look for it, so she has to let it go, hoping that one day he will know that he will come back.
And Song Liangzhen stayed in the Tang family.
……
Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan returned to Ping'an Village, at this time, the corpses of the people in the village had been buried in the mass grave by the county government, Yan Zixuan cried bitterly in front of the grave, and then entered the bottom of the well with Tang Xiaoshan, and copied all the unlearned sword scores engraved on the wall with pen and ink.
Tang Xiaofeng felt that since he was leaving, it was better to destroy these sword scores on the wall, but Yan Zixuan said: "Even if you leave them here, no one will run to the bottom of the well for no reason, don't worry about them being looked at." Besides, what if my brother hasn't studied all his studies and can't find me when he comes back? ”
Tang Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders, thinking to himself that it didn't matter if Yan Ya had learned it or not, as long as I had learned it all.
Of course, this is their Yan family's sword spectrum after all, and it is still up to Yan Zixuan to decide.
Yan Zixuan left a letter in the dark room, so that her brother could see it when he came back, thought about it, and took the Yan family motto into his arms. After the two packed their things, they each took a flying sword and left Ping'an Village like this.
When the two came to the beach, they saw that the sea was vast, not to mention that they had not yet learned the ability to fly with a sword, even if they learned to escape with a sword, they could not fly all day and night. Yan Zixuan ran out of ideas and asked, "What should we do now?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Go to my uncle's house first, my uncle often goes to sea to do business, at most I am stalking, forcing him to take us to sea together." ”
Yan Zixuan nodded.
Tang Xiaofeng took Yan Zixuan to his uncle's residence, but when he saw that the gate was closed, he asked the township, but it turned out that Lin Zhiyang had gone to sea with his wife and daughter a few days ago. Tang Xiaofeng had no choice but to come up with another idea: "It's really not possible, let's inquire in the port, if there is a merchant ship that wants to go to sea, we will quietly sneak to the ship and wait for the ship to go to sea and come out." When the time comes, eat them, shelter them, and they will still throw us off the boat? Even if they tried to throw us down, they had to beat us. ”
Yan Zixuan's eyes widened: "What's the difference between this and a scoundrel?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng grinned and said, "Bring us two swordsmen, and it won't be a disadvantage for them." In the event of a pirate murder or robbery, we can save them. ”
Yan Zixuan thought about it, but couldn't think of any other way, and said, "Then where are we going?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "We are going to take refuge, not to go to the mountains and rivers, and then find a deserted mountain and wild island where no one is around, and practice sword cultivation there." With our current skills, we don't have to be afraid of poisonous snakes and beasts, nor pirates and thieves, and it shouldn't be a big problem to survive. After the end of the school, we will come back, and then it doesn't matter what it is to Yushan Wangwu Mountain, as long as it is a place where monsters live, we will take it all in a nest, and the monsters of the Yi Demon Gate, how many will be killed, and I am really afraid that they will not succeed? ”
Yan Zixuan also paused arrogantly, and said coquettishly: "Okay, just do it." ”
At that moment, the two found a merchant ship according to the plan, quietly slipped in, and the merchant ship started, carrying them away from Lingnan and into the sea......
Two years later –
The largest ridge in the Eastern Wilderness overseas, the name is Dongkou Mountain.
Dongkou Mountain is adjacent to the Junzi Kingdom on the left and the Great People's Kingdom on the right, the mountain is steep, and there are many fierce tigers and beasts, which are difficult for ordinary people to climb at all.
On the south side of Dongkou Mountain, there are two peaks, both of which are like optimus pillars, although they are not thick, but they are extremely high.
At this time, on these two peaks, there is a figure standing on each of them.
Standing on the southern peak was a young man, dressed in a coarse coat made of animal skins, holding a sword in his right hand and his left shoulder bare. After two years of wind and frost and tempering in the wild, his figure is far more burly than other peers, with a hint of vitality between his eyebrows.
Standing on the northern peak was a young girl, wearing a patched skirt, she was delicate and delicate, and a short animal skin skirt was wrapped around her waist. The garment was too small for her, and it didn't fit well, wrapping her bumpy body in a curvy way, but giving her a pitiful innocence and charm.
She also held a flying sword in her hand, far away from the young man on the southern peak.
Suddenly, the two of them shouted at the same time, jumped up, turned into two red sword lights, and collided in the air. I saw that the essence was shining, the wind and thunder were chaotic, and the two sword lights were entangled with each other.
Another crisp sound came, and the girl's figure floated behind the boy like the wind, and a sword slashed out. The young man resisted the sword qi, turned around and blocked, blocking the sword light, and threw the sword out in the retreat, as fast as thunder.
However, the girl's body was illusory, and suddenly she disappeared again.
The two of them struggled for more than an hour, and both were exhausted and out of breath, so they flew down together and landed on a small stream between the two peaks. The girl put away her sword, washed her face with the stream water in her hand, and then looked at the young man beside her: "Xiaofeng, do you think we are very powerful now?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "We practiced Honghua Sword Qi half a year ago, and we have never stopped practicing these days, I don't know how powerful it is, but it shouldn't be too bad, right?" ”
Yan Zixuan looked at the reflection in the water and said, "But at this progress, if you want to break through to Zihua Sword Qi, I'm afraid it will take at least a few years." ”
Yan's Zige swordsmanship is divided into four stages, namely Huanghua, Honghua, Zihua, and Shenhua. Each of these four realms is very different, Huang Hua's sword qi is only able to manipulate flying swords, and Honghua sword qi is already able to make people's swords fly. As for the Shenhua realm, according to the records on the sword spectrum, it is already able to go to heaven and earth, and come and go freely in the Gangfeng karma fire, but this realm, no one in the Yan family seems to have really practiced it.
At this time, the two of them had practiced Honghua's sword qi to control it freely, and they had mixed the thunder and wind techniques they had learned into the swordsmanship, which was far from being comparable to the child who had first glimpsed the way of the sword two years ago. Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, if he encounters a monster like Wandering Duo now, he can deal with it alone, even if it is Yan Yong two years ago, he is afraid that he will not lose to him.
Yan Zixuan jumped up and said, "I can't wear this clothes anymore, we have been here for more than two years, and if we stay any longer, I'm afraid we will really become savages." ”
Tang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes!
Although Yan Zixuan is a girl, she has no talent for sewing and cooking, and it is not easy to sew and mend these clothes she brought two years ago.
"It's better like this," said Tang Xiaofeng, "let's hunt some wild beasts in this mountain, and then see if there are any merchant ships passing by in the past few days, and let them take us to the Junzi Kingdom to change some food and clothes." ”
If it was in the world in Tang Xiaofeng's last life, there would naturally be no gentleman's country, adult country, or labor republic overseas, but what he traveled through was the world of "Mirror Flowers", and there were not many overseas island countries, and the closest to Dongkou Mountain was the gentleman's country, which is said to be a country of etiquette and music, and the people in the country are good at making it indisputable, and it has an excellent reputation among overseas countries.
Yan Zixuan grinned and said, "Aren't we able to escape with a sword now?" Why don't we just fly over with our swords? ”
Tang Xiaofeng said staggeredly: "Sister Zixuan, are you joking?" No matter how close the Junzi Country is, there are two or three hundred miles, how can we settle down on the way to breathe? Besides, we only know the general direction of it, in case we fly two or three hundred miles, and find that we are flying in the wrong position, and then the sword qi is exhausted, wouldn't the two of us have to jump into the sea together to die in love? ”
"Martyrdom for you," Yan Zixuan glanced at him angrily, "The seaway between Dongkou Mountain and Junzi Kingdom is the only way for merchant ships to come and go, and there will always be one or two ships along the way. Even if there are no merchant ships, the Gentleman Kingdom and the Lord's Kingdom are all in the vicinity, and there will always be fishing boats that go out to sea to fish, right? It was really bad luck that we couldn't even meet the fishing boat, and the two of us fell into the sea, and we didn't necessarily drown right away. ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, if you don't drown immediately, you will drown slowly, there is no difference.
Although there are 10,000 wishes to complain in her heart, Yan Zixuan is obviously settled. In desperation, Tang Xiaofeng had no choice but to prepare with her, and the two of them fought a mountain deer and a wild leopard in the mountains, each carrying their backs, jumping up, and flying in the direction of the Junzi Kingdom with the sword light.
……
The two of them flew with the sword light for several hours, but they saw that the fog was so vast that it was difficult to distinguish the direction.
At this time, the sword qi of the two of them was about to be exhausted, Tang Xiaofeng complained bitterly, and Yan Zixuan also began to regret it. When the two of them used to be on the Dongkou Mountain, they could often see boats coming and going, and today I don't know if they were too unlucky, let alone merchant ships, and they didn't even see a fishing boat.
In desperation, the two had no choice but to throw the beasts they were carrying into the sea, holding hands, and insisting on flying forward, hoping to fly to the Junzi Kingdom when the sword qi was exhausted, or encounter some small islands and reefs, so that they could settle down and rest.
After flying for a while, seeing that the two of them couldn't hold on, Yan Zixuan suddenly shouted, "Xiaofeng, look there." ”
Tang Xiaofeng looked down, and sure enough, he saw three big boats parked on the sea. He was overjoyed, and was about to fall down with Yan Zixuan, but found that something was not quite right.
One of them was apparently a merchant ship, but the other two were unmarked, and there were many men with swords on board the merchant ships along hooks and bridges, and killed anyone they saw.
Yan Zixuan raised her eyebrows: "Pirates? ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself: "Nonsense. ”
Apparently, the two unmarked ones were pirate ships, and the merchant ship was being robbed by pirates.
The so-called road is uneven, draw a sword to help, not to mention that the sword qi of the two is about to run out, and it will not be possible if they don't go down. So, without saying a word, they fell straight down and landed on the merchant ship. Several pirates killed people and killed their heads, and they didn't care how they appeared, they rushed over directly, and they each drew their swords, killing several in a row.
"Who?" A big man jumped on the pirate ship, he had a ** upper body, tattoos on his chest and abdomen, and a gold-ringed broadsword. Looking at Tang and Yan, he said viciously: "The heroes of Ghost Axe Mountain are doing business here, and those who don't want to die should get out of the way as soon as possible." ”
Tang Xiaofeng smiled: "Although we don't want to die. ”
Yan Zixuan continued: "But we don't want to roll either." ”
Seeing that although these two people were young, they were surrounded by his own men, but they were not afraid at all, and he couldn't help but start to be suspicious. Seeing that there were clearly no ships around, and that these two people were each holding a sword with a treasure light, he couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that these two people, like the eldest brother, are both swordsmen who can fly with swords?" ”
He thought again: "Even if they are swordsmen, how capable can they be at a young age?" ”
So he shouted, "Up." ”
Those pirates swarmed up, and Tang and Yan drew their swords again, and the sword light flashed wildly, picking them off one after another at once. The big man was furious, jumped up, and the golden ring broadsword slashed towards Tang Xiaofeng with a thousand momentum.
Tang Xiaofeng put his sword backhand up, and the essence splashed everywhere, although he blocked the big knife, he was also shocked to the point that his arm was numb. The big man held the big knife with both hands and slashed wildly, cutting out the Dao Dao knife shadow, Tang Xiaofeng already knew that this person was born with divine power, so he panicked, left and right.
Yan Zixuan took a few steps in a row, the sword was like a flower, and he killed several pirates at once, and when he turned around, he saw that Tang Xiaofeng had been forced by the big man to the point where he had no way to retreat and was about to fall into the sea, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Xiaofeng, what are you doing?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng yawned: "Play casually." ”
With a sword, it broke into the shadow of the sword at once.
The big man let out a hoarse whimper and collapsed to the boat with a thud.
The pirates saw that the boy had been killed and was powerless to fight back, and suddenly, all of a sudden, they turned around like this, and realized that the boy was playing with them.
"The three masters are dead!" The exclamations of the pirates came and went, and one by one they did not dare to fight again, and fled from the merchant ships one after another, and after a while, they fled into the fog with two pirate ships and disappeared.
When the people hiding in the cabin saw the pirates fleeing, they came out in fear and thanked Tang and Yan. An old man dressed in brocade invited the two of them into the cabin, poured water and served tea, and consulted the daimyo. Yan Zixuanjiao smiled and said: "The old man doesn't have to be so polite, the two of us just happened to pass by here, and acting bravely was originally the true color of my generation." ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, if he didn't meet them, this ship would certainly be difficult to escape, but if he didn't meet this ship, he and Yan Zixuan were afraid that they would also be drowned in the sea, from this point of view, it was not certain who would save whom, so he smiled, grabbed the old man's hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”
When the old man asked, he realized that they had originally flown from Dongkou Mountain to Junzi Country, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Junzi Country is directly south of Dongkou Mountain, but this place is located between the two countries of Junzi and Adult, which is the southwest of Dongkou Mountain, but the two of you flew in the wrong direction?" ”
Yan and Tang looked at each other in amazement, thinking that they were obviously flying due south, how could they fly in the wrong direction?
They don't know that although they start to fly due south, people, unlike migratory birds, cannot identify the direction on their own without a clear reference. It's like a blindfolded man who, though he thinks he's walking in a straight line, seems to others to be swerving, as if he were drunk.
Although the two of them were not blindfolded by the cloth, the sea was vast, there was no reference point, and the fog was heavy, so they thought they were flying due south, but in fact they had already gone in the wrong direction.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that although they have learned the ability to fly Edgeworth, it is their first time to fly long distances, and they have no experience, and the sea is different from other places, even experienced sailors will often get the wrong direction without a guide car or a lighthouse to guide them.
Fortunately, they encountered this merchant ship first, if they continued to fly forward, the left did not rely on the Junzi Kingdom, and the right did not rely on the Great People's Kingdom, the final result was probably really falling into the sea and becoming a pair of mandarin ducks falling into the sea.
The old man smiled and said, "Since the two of you are going to the Gentleman's Country, you might as well rest on this boat." Lao Yu is going to go to the Junzi Kingdom to do some jewelry trading, but he doesn't want to meet thieves here. If the two of them don't dislike it, after they arrive in the country of gentlemen, let the old man be the east and thank the two for saving their lives. ”
Tang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." ”
At this time, a child's head poked out from the old man's back and looked at Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan curiously. Yan Zixuan saw that this child was very interesting, and teased him: "What's your name?" ”
The child was about five or six years old, childish, and his eyes blinked like stars: "My name is Xu Youyou, they said you can fly, can you really fly?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng was expressionless: "We can fly, in fact, we are not human, we are monsters, have you ever seen a monster that can't fly?" ”
The child screamed, and then shrank behind the old man.
Yan Zixuan glared at Tang Xiaofeng angrily, and pulled Xu Youyou over: "Don't listen to his nonsense, although we can fly, we are not monsters, I will fly to you later." ”
……
Yan Zixuan grabbed Youyou's waist from behind, flew over for a while, and flew over for a while.
Tang Xiaofeng lay on the side of the boat, tilting them with his eyes, leaning over for a while, leaning over for a while, and leaning over for a while.
Xu Lao Fusu stood at the bow of the boat, watching Yan Zixuan play with his grandson, and laughing.
At this time, Tang Xiaofeng already knew that Xu Lao was from the easternmost outlying island, which was close to the extreme of the Eastern Wilderness, and the pearls and jade were as worthless as dung.
But in the Junzi country, there is a shortage of pearls and jade, but everyone likes to inlay beads and jade, so what he did was to exchange pearls and jades for silk trading, and the last time he did business, he was often extremely profitable.
Of course, although this kind of maritime business is highly profitable, it is also very risky, and it is not a new thing to encounter strong winds and waves, and ship wreckage and death.
Tang Xiaofeng naturally knows this truth, this is like in ancient China, the local worthless tea and silk transported to Central Asia, often can be sold hundreds or even thousands of times the price, often someone goes to sea once, and when he comes back, he becomes a rich businessman with a lot of money, outsiders do not know the truth, and think that he picked up a cornucopia at sea.
But the so-called wealth and danger are sought, just like this time, if it weren't for Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan, Xu Lao's business would not be in vain, and he would even have to accompany him with his life.
Yan Zixuan flew in the sky with Youyou, and suddenly fell: "There is a boat over there." ”
Several people looked together, but saw five warships sailing over, including one fighting ship and four walkers. The emerald flag fluttering on the warship is painted with a string of beautiful jade. Tang Xiaofeng said: "This is the warship of the Junzi Kingdom? ”
"Exactly," Xu Lao said, "the Junzi Kingdom takes jade as a totem, which means 'good and indisputable, gentle as jade'." In the country, whether rich or poor, whether rich or poor, behaves and talks respectfully and politely, and the cultivators give way to the side and the walkers. I heard that this gentleman's country is built by the officials and people who escaped from the Celestial Empire when it was chaotic, such as today's dynasty is dyed with Hu Feng and Hu Qi, but this gentleman's country still maintains the ancient etiquette of the Celestial Empire, the saints and saints are passed down, and the etiquette and music are edified. ”
Xu Lao said that the Celestial Empire is the Central Plains, since the Wuhu Chaohua and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Hu Feng entered the Central Plains, whether it is etiquette or customs are far from the Han and Jin dynasties, not to mention the "Zhou Li" that everyone yearns for reading, basically no longer exists.
Tang Xiaofeng saw that the five warships were covered with armor and crossbows, and they were clearly here to suppress the Kou. The fighting ship got closer and closer, and a person stood on the deck and said loudly: "Could it be Xu Lao on the ship?" ”
"It turned out to be Wu Xiang?" Boss Xu was overjoyed, and explained to Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan, "It's Wu Zhixiang Wu Xiangye of the Junzi Country, he and his brother Wu Zhihe are both important ministers of the Junzi Country, and they have met me a few times in the past and are good friends with each other. ”
Yan Zixuan said in surprise: "Since you are the prime minister, why did you personally lead the troops to the sea?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Isn't the Junzi Kingdom following the ancient ritual system? In ancient times, there was no distinction between civil and military officials in the court, and the so-called entry was the prime minister, and the exit was the general, and the prime minister personally led the troops, which is not surprising. ”
Xu Lao smiled: "Little brother knows a lot. ”
Tang Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders, in the previous life, he was a good boy who studied hard and made progress every day, and in this life, he had a father who had been in Tanhua and a sister who loved to read, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he naturally knew more things than others.
A few boards were erected, and Wu Zhixiang and Xu Lao greeted each other. Xu Lao told Wu Zhixiang about the piracy and robbery, and Wu Zhixiang bowed and said: "It is precisely because of the recent flow of bandits in the waters of the Great People's Republic that there are many bandits in the sea area of the Great People's Republic of China, and he is worried that someone will be killed, so he leads the fleet to patrol the sea area every day. Xu Lao was in danger, but he was ashamed to fail to save him in time. ”
Xu Lao hurriedly bowed back: "The place where we are in danger is in the territory of the kingdom of adults, why should the prime minister apologize?" ”
Wu Zhixiang bowed again: "Although it is not the sea area of the Junzi Country, but it is also around our country, it is really the fault of governing the country without a way, if the foolish and foolish brother govern the country in a good way, naturally obey the four seas, and the rogue pirates go away on their own, how can they harm Xu Lao in danger?" Shame shame. ”
Xu Lao bowed back again: "Xiangye is too strict with himself. ”
Yan Zixuan saw that this Wu Xiangguo's status was respected, but he kept reflecting on himself, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a gentleman, when the officials of my dynasty also have such a demeanor, then the world will be peaceful." ”
Tang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes.
Wu Zhixiang asked: "I don't know how Xu Lao escaped from the thief's knife?" ”
Only then did Xu Lao introduce to him: "Fortunately, Miss Yan and Tang Gongzi arrived in time to save the old man and save my ancestors and grandchildren. ”
Wu Zhixiang couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw that Tang and Yan were not very old, and learned that both of them had the ability to fly with a sword and kill people in ten steps, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and exchanged pleasantries with the two, so that Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan had no choice but to bow to him.
Wu Zhixiang asked: "I don't know which way of bandits you encountered?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is one of the most powerful guys, who claims to be a hero in Ghost Axe Mountain, and others call him the third master. ”
Wu Zhixiang was shocked and said, "Is that person covered in tattoos and using a gold-ring broadsword?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "Exactly." ”
Wu Zhixiang sighed: "That is the 'Ghost Knife' Megatron Mountain of Ghost Axe Mountain, above the East China Sea, he has always killed people like hemp, and there are not many people who died in his hands, I can't imagine that the two of them can escape from his knife." ”
"So his nickname is Ghost Knife?" Tang Xiaofeng said with a smile, "His knife is indeed very fast, and his strength is so great that I didn't even have a chance to capture him alive, so I had to kill him easily." ”
Wu Zhixiang was shocked again, and said: "The little brother was able to kill him, it's really amazing, amazing." However, there are a total of three masters in Ghost Axe Mountain, the leader is the 'Ghost Sword' Shi Zhongtian, I heard that he has practiced a flying sword, but he can take people's heads thousands of miles away, go to the sky and enter the earth, omnipotent, and almost no one can beat him in the East China Sea. The second in line is 'Ghost Water' Hu Erniang, I heard that she is good at witchcraft, mysterious and unpredictable, others often look at her and turn into blood and water, and her soul is scattered. The two sworn brothers who killed them today will surely come for revenge in the future, so be careful. ”
Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan glanced at each other, and they didn't have too much fear in their hearts, they had practiced swordsmanship incognito on Dongkou Mountain for two years, and they also wanted to know what they were capable of now, if Shi Zhongtian and Hu Erniang really wanted to come looking for trouble, then let them come.
Five warships escorted Xu Lao's merchant ship to the Junzi Kingdom.
On the way, in order to thank Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan for saving his life, Xu Lao wanted to give Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan some gold, silver and jade, Yan Zixuan raised her eyebrows, saying that since she rescued people, she naturally did not ask for anything in return, if it was for money, then why not learn from those pirates and directly rob the ship?
Tang Xiaofeng stood up proudly, saying that in my generation, it is a matter of course to help the world save people and punish adultery and hoe evil, if you give us money, you look down on us.
Yan Zixuan saw that Tang Xiaofeng was the same as she thought, and couldn't help but smile.
When she went to play with Youyou, Tang Xiaofeng entered the cabin with Xu Lao shoulder to shoulder, and when she came out, she had an extra bag in her arms, and it was unknown what was hidden in the bag, but she knew that it was a variety of words when it was shaken, crisp and pleasant.
In the afternoon, the merchant ships arrived at the port of Junziguo.
Tang Xiaofeng saw that the island was surrounded by the city wall, and the city gate was written with the ancient seal of "only goodness is treasure" four big characters, and there was a pavilion market outside the city, and people gathered, for buying and selling, everything was in order. Xu Lao set up an inn outside the city, moved the jewelry into it, and invited Tang and Yan to live together.
Tang Xiaofeng asked puzzledly: "Since you want to live, why don't you find an inn in the city, but you want to live outside the city?" ”
Xu Lao smiled bitterly: "The gentleman is simple and simple, and all foreigners like to come here to do business, but there are all kinds of foreigners, some are just to do business, and many are thieves or profiteers who steal chickens and dogs. ”
After staying, Xu Lao went everywhere to pay respects, and Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan took Youyou to wander around the city. Tang Xiaofeng saw a clothing shop and pulled Yan Zixuan inside, Yan Zixuan was a little hesitant because she had no money, but Tang Xiaofeng smiled and took out some silver taels from his pocket, saying that he had already borrowed some from Xu Lao.
Yan Zixuan relieved her mind and entered the clothing shop with Tang Xiaofeng.
But how did she know that this silver tael was just a "tip", and in Tang Xiaofeng's arms, she was carrying a whole bag of pearls.
The two came here from Dongkou Mountain, because the clothes on their bodies no longer fit, so they each chose a set in the clothing shop, and when asked about the price, it was too cheap. Yan Zixuan saw that this dress was obviously a good cloth and good material, but the proprietress said that her goods were not as good as others, and gave them a 20% discount as she spoke, so she thought: "No wonder they say that the gentleman's country is good and indisputable, won't you lose money if you do business like this?" ”
At that moment, the two asked the proprietress to tailor it for them, and directly replaced it with a single room in the store. When he walked out, Tang Xiaofeng was wearing a small green Kona shirt, which was unusually fitting, and then turned his head to look at Yan Zixuan, but saw that she was wearing a red silk shirt on her upper body, a red silk jacket and pants on her lower body, a red silk fish scarf on her head, a big red silk silk around her waist, and a pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet.
She stuck the red sword in her waist, coupled with her ruddy face, it was like a red rose, red and gorgeous, just looking at it, it made people feel refreshed.
Youyou shouted: "Sister Yan is so beautiful." ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, this is the "heroine" in the book who is amazing just by appearing.
Yan Zixuan saw Tang Xiaofeng staring at herself like a flower, but somehow, her face was hot, and she glanced at him happily.
Tang Xiaofeng turned his head embarrassedly and walked forward with her.
The two have been alone in the mountains for two years, and they are like sisters and brothers with each other, and now, somehow, although they are still close to each other, they have a rather ambiguous feeling.
After taking a few steps, Tang Xiaofeng suddenly turned around.
Yan Zixuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I always feel like someone is watching me." Tang Xiaofeng looked left and right, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Yan Zixuan said: "You are not a flower, who will come to see you?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself: "You are a flower, is it amazing if you are a flower?" ”
They took Youyou for a while, and by the way, they bought a sheepskin map and compass with pictures of the islands in the East China Sea. Before they knew it, it was getting dark, and they returned to the inn outside the city and met with Xu Laohui. Elder Xu handed each of them an invitation.
"This is ......," Yan Zixuan asked suspiciously.
Xu Lao smiled and said: "This is the invitation of His Royal Highness Yao Hua, the second prince of the Junzi Kingdom, the second prince set up a banquet in the Zhuhe Tower tonight, he heard about the ability of the two to kill the 'ghost knife' Megatron Mountain at sea, so he invited the two to the banquet with the old man." ”
……
Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixuan came to the Zhuhe Tower under the guidance of Xu Lao.
A young man wearing a big Kona silk and Luo robe stood in front of the building, and Xu Lao took Tang and Yan to greet the young man, and introduced to them: "This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
"It turns out that the two are the young heroes who killed the ghost sword Megatron Mountain at sea," Wang Zihua grabbed Tang Xiaofeng's hand, "Fortunately, fortunately." ”
Yan Zixuan saw that although the fabric of the second prince of the gentleman's country was excellent, the style was not gorgeous, and it was difficult to distinguish the difference between him and ordinary scholars when he walked on the road, and saw that he behaved elegantly and with a lot of bearing, and his heart suddenly felt good.
Tang Xiaofeng complained in his heart: "You are a man, and I am also a man, why are you holding my hand?" Don't you hear that men and women are not kissed, and men and men are even less kissed? ”
Wang Zihua personally introduced the two into the building and introduced them to others. In addition to Wu Zhixiang, Wu Zhixiang's elder brother Wu Zhihe was also present, as well as an envoy of the Qiyu Kingdom called Zhimuro, as well as several local merchants.
The popular "ancient style" in the Junzi country is the "ancient style", and the banquet is naturally seated on the ground. And this way of sitting is not to say that after a thousand years, even if it is the current Central Plains, it is no longer popular. Since the Wuhu Chaohua, Hu Feng flowed into the Central Plains, all kinds of customs have changed, people are also sitting on the stool every day, which is commonly called "Hu sitting", and because of this, Tang and Yan knelt on the edge of the table, and they were a little uncomfortable, but everyone sat like this, and they were not easy to change their posture.
Several people toasted each other, and talked about the feat of Tang and Yan killing pirates, and took turns to salute. Tang Xiaofeng was not as honest as Yan Zixuan, he took the opportunity to go to the toilet to force out the wine with his sword qi, and when he came back, he retorted, so everyone said that he was massive.
After three rounds of drinking, there were more words, and I couldn't help but talk about the customs of overseas countries, and learned that Tang and Yan were from Middle Earth, Wu Zhihe said: "I heard that there is a custom in the Celestial Empire, where children are born, every full moon, 100 days, and years, they must slaughter pigs and sheep, and Zhang Xiao acts, I don't know if it is or not?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, "Here", he smiled and said, "There is indeed this custom." ”
Wu Zhihe sighed: "I heard that 'God has the virtue of a good life', now God has given children and people, and people do not know the meaning of relying on the body to live well, but because their children slaughtered many living beings, it is a lifetime of souls from God, and countless living beings are injured, is it the fault of heaven, or the fault of man?" ”
Tang Xiaofeng opened his mouth to answer, but Wu Zhixiang asked first: "I heard that when you have a banquet, you often like to list delicacies, and you are extremely luxurious, yes or no?" What's even more strange is that no matter how good or bad the dishes are, the expensive ones are respected, and some people even paste gold and platinum on the dishes. Or use this wasted money to help the poor, I don't know how many people can be grateful, I don't know what the little brother thinks, I am justified or not? ”
Tang Xiaofeng nodded and smiled: "Reasonable, reasonable!" ”
Seeing that Tang Xiaofeng agreed, these two brothers said a word to me, Yan Zixuan listened to them keep saying "Heavenly Empire", but there were many criticisms, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts, but these two people stood on the commanding heights of morality every word, lifting Yao Shun's system at the top, and using the Four Books and Five Classics at the bottom, and talking about the disadvantages of the times, which made people indistinguishable and irrefutable.
Fortunately, when the two brothers saw that they didn't refute, they felt bored after a long time, and turned their heads to criticize other countries. The Zhitong envoy of the Qiyu country argued a few words, but they criticized the various policies of the Qiyu country from top to bottom, and the Zhitong envoy was criticized so that his face was flushed, but he couldn't argue with them.
The banquet dispersed, everyone said goodbye to Wang Zihua and the Wu brothers, Tang Xiaofeng carried Yan Zixuan, who was already drunk, and walked to the inn outside the city with Xu Lao and Zhitong envoys. Xu Lao sighed: "The country of gentlemen is worthy of being a country of etiquette and music, listening to their words, it is really majestic, and none of them are not famous words of caution, which makes people ashamed." ”
Tang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. The envoy sneered, and instead of answering the topic, he asked, "I wonder when Elder Xu left this place?" ”
Xu Lao said: "The gentleman's royal family urgently needs pearl jade, I have negotiated a price with His Royal Highness the second prince and the two prime ministers, and exchanged the pearl jade for their gold and silver ayaluo, and I can leave in about a few days." ”
Zhitong said lightly: "Congratulations to Xu Lao for making a big business, but a foreign country is not a place to stay for a long time, Xu Lao might as well leave early." There are also Brother Tang, Shi Zhongtian and Hu Erniang of Ghost Axe Mountain are not easy to mess with, you and Miss Yan should also be careful, this gentleman's country, it is better not to stay for a long time. ”
Xu Lao was stunned and said, "Why is this? The Junzi Kingdom has always been politically clear, and even those pirates and rogues, who are afraid of the prestige of the Junzi Country, only commit crimes outside the country, but listen to the wishes of the adults, but they seem to feel that it is not safe for the old people to stay here? ”
The envoy didn't say much, just turned around and bowed, and said, "Talk about it casually, Xu Lao Mo should take it to heart." In the future, if Xu Lao passes through the Qiyu country, he will go east again, and he will have other important things to do, and he needs to rush back to China overnight, please let me say goodbye first. ”
After saying that, he strode away.
Xu Lao and Tang Xiaofeng glanced at each other in astonishment, and the words of this Zhitong envoy were clearly warning, but they stopped at the point and refused to say more, which made them really a little confused.
Back at the inn, Tang Xiaofeng put Yan Zixuan on the bed, looked quietly, and saw that she was sleeping and delicate, and couldn't help but think: "In the past two years, she has been a lot more beautiful." ”
Hehe laughed, went outside to borrow pen and ink, drew a flower on each of her left and right faces, and said in her heart: "Sister Zixuan, you are the reincarnation of the god of flowers, of course you must have flowers on your face." ”
Tang Xiaofeng covered the quilt for her, closed the door, thought about it, and did not return to his room, but quietly slipped out and came to the coast, only to see a ship quietly sailing away from the port. He thought, "It seems that the guy surnamed Zhi is really going to leave the Junzi Kingdom overnight." Strange, even if you have to leave, why don't you choose to leave the shore during the day, but make it so mysterious? The second prince and the Wu brothers had just finished inviting him tonight, and he didn't say goodbye to them at the banquet, but after leaving the table, he hurriedly slipped away, no matter how he thought about it, it made people feel wrong. ”
He stood there thinking for a while, suddenly yawned, and said to himself: "Actually, it's right or wrong, what's my business?" ”
Turning to go back to the inn to sleep, at this moment, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned back and saw a small boat sailing out in the night, quietly behind the ship of the envoy.
Looks like the guy with the last name is in trouble.
Do you want to keep up? Tang Xiaofeng hesitated.
Keep up, the one surnamed Zhi has no relatives and no reason for him, he is alive or dead, and what does it have to do with himself? I don't keep up, but I care a little bit in my heart.
"Duoqi country, surnamed Zhi," Tang Xiaofeng muttered, "I always feel that this person is more or less impressed. ”
It's as if when he saw the Wu brothers, he knew that these two guys would definitely tell the truth, in the book "Mirror Flowers", his father Tang Ao passed through the Junzi Kingdom after going to sea, and Duo Jiugong was stunned by these two brothers, in fact, saying and doing are not the same thing at all, but Tang Ao is an honest person, and he always feels that the one who can say this great truth must be the great sage of this world.
Now that Tang Ao did not run overseas according to the plot in the book because of the disappearance of his young son, Tang Xiaofeng ran out by himself, after all, Tang Xiaofeng is a person who has lived one more life, and he knows that people who wield the stick of democracy may not be really democratic, so naturally they are not so easy to be yelled at by those two brothers.
And this "messenger surnamed Zhi", he vaguely remembered that it seemed to be mentioned in the book, but there were too many people mentioned in the book, and he couldn't even remember the name of the "Hundred Flowers", and he naturally couldn't remember the role of other passers-by A or passerby B.
Forget it, for the sake of "déjà vu", I'll go and save him.
Tang Xiaofeng controlled the sword light and quietly followed behind the small boat.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the crescent moon hung in the sky, reflecting the sparkling light and shadow of the sea, and a few flying fish skimmed low on the water. Tang Xiaofeng bypassed the boat and quietly slipped to the boat where the envoy was riding.
The ship sailed away from the sea area of the Junzi Kingdom, and suddenly, a firework flew up from the boat behind the boat, jumped into the sky and exploded.
More than a dozen black shadows burst out from the bottom of the sea, surrounding the branch envoy in the center. The envoy sighed and asked, "Are you from the Gentleman's Country?" ”
One of the black-clothed men said solemnly: "We are all heroes of the Devil's Axe Mountain, what do we have to do with the country of gentlemen?" ”
The envoy sneered, "Is it really irrelevant? ”
The man in black no longer answered, but just whispered: "Up, don't leave a single living mouth." ”
The others rushed forward, the swords shining brightly and the cold air was fierce. Zhitong knew that he would die today, and he was sad when he thought that the orphan girl in his family would be helpless in the future, but he could only sigh and wait for death.
Death did not come, but a series of blows were heard in his ears, and the envoy suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the sword qi around him, shining all over his body, only for a while, the thieves fell to the ground one by one, leaving only the black-clothed man who was the leader standing there, looking behind him with a shocked face.
He turned his head suddenly, and then he saw that there was a lazy young man in the position behind him on the right side, wearing a short shirt and a sword at his waist, looking listless, but the corners of his eyes flashed with a sharp and cold light.
The man in black didn't expect that the men he brought would be dealt with so easily, he looked at the young man of unknown origin, and shouted angrily, "Who are you? ”
Tang Xiaofeng said lightly: "I am a swordsman of the Gentleman's Country, and I am ordered by the second prince to escort the envoy ......."
The man in black snapped, "Impossible. ”
Tang Xiaofeng said coldly: "Why is it impossible? Aren't you a good man? Could it be that the gentleman's country sent someone to protect the foreign envoy, and still had to inform you? ”
Under the moonlight, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in black. Although he didn't know Tang Xiaofeng's origin, he knew that he was by no means this young man's opponent. He gritted his teeth, and suddenly turned over and plunged into the sea.
The envoy hurriedly said, "Brother Tang, don't let this person escape." ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "He can't escape." ”
The sword light flashed, and he was about to pursue the man in black, but at this moment, a sudden change protruded, and an arrow light came out of nowhere, piercing into the body of the man in black, and the man in black screamed, and his body exploded, turning into blood and water, and actually dyed the sea with a trace of blood red.
Immediately afterwards, a string of coquettish laughter sounded, and the laughter was looming, like a female ghost night song. A wave rose into the sky and paused in the air, and on the tip of the wave stood a translucent woman, although her body was light and her movements were charming, but at a glance, it looked like an ice sculpture, and even the moonlight could pass through her.
The envoy raised his head and looked at the translucent woman on the waves, his face changed greatly: "'Ghost water' Hu Erniang? ”
It turns out that she is Hu Erniang?
Tang Xiaofeng looked at the translucent woman on the waves, and he didn't know whether she was a human or a demon.
He looked at Hu Erniang and asked, "Wasn't that person just now your hero in Devil Mountain?" Why did you kill him? ”
Hu Erniang glanced at him charmingly and said, "How can my ghost axe mountain person be so useless?" It's better for someone like this to die early. ”
"It turns out that he is not your person," Tang Xiaofeng shrugged, "but Megatron Mountain is always your person, right?" It doesn't seem to be very useful. ”
"It turns out that the third child was killed by you," Hu Erniang said with a smile, "Seeing that you are not very old, your ability is not small." ”
Tang Xiaofeng stared at her: "You're not angry? ”
Hu Erniang said: "Didn't I say it? Useless people, it's better to die early. The third child didn't have much ability in the first place, but we just saw that he was still diligent and willing to work, coupled with his ruthless appearance, and he could scare people on the road, so he let him be a third master in Ghost Axe Mountain, otherwise, with his little ability, how could he be looked down upon by me and the boss? ”
The envoy took a step forward and asked loudly, "What is the relationship between you and the gentleman's royal family?" ”
Hu Erniang said lightly: "Don't you know? ”
The envoy sighed, "I was just a little skeptical. But now, since the Gentleman's Kingdom is going to send someone to kill me, and even you have arrived here by coincidence, it seems that there is no need for me to doubt it anymore. ”
Tang Xiaofeng smiled bitterly on the side: "Could it be that the Gentleman's Country and the Ghost Axe Mountain were originally in the same group?" ”
Zhitong sneered: "The Devil Axe Mountain Bandit Kou is wreaking havoc in the Adult, Qiyu, Zhijia and other countries, but they have never entered the waters of the Gentleman's Country to intrude, everyone says that it is because the Gentleman's Country is convinced by virtue, and even the Haikou do not dare to invade." In order to exterminate the pirates, my country ordered me to visit various countries all the way, hoping that all countries would join hands to kill the pirates, but I didn't want to rely on the clues I collected from various countries to carefully scrutinize, but found that several of the ten major cowards, including the Devil's Axe Mountain, were in collusion with the Junzi Kingdom. The second prince and the two prime ministers held a banquet tonight, probably because they were already alert to me, so they dragged me in the kingdom, so that they could secretly inform you that I would be robbed and killed here. ”
Hu Erniang smiled and said: "The country of the gentleman is a country of etiquette, the road is not forgotten, and the door is not closed at night, so naturally you can't die in the territory of the country of the gentleman." ”
The envoy said, "This is already the sea area of the Great Adult Kingdom. ”
"So," Hu Erniang smiled charmingly, "you can die." ”
With a twist of his body, countless sharp arrows flew out of the water and shot towards the Zhitong envoy.
Tang Xiaofeng took a step forward, and the flying sword flashed, intercepting all these sharp arrows. The sharp arrow slashed and fell to the ground, turned into seawater, and wriggled like insects, crawling towards Tang Xiaofeng and the Zhitong envoy.
Tang Xiaofeng stabbed down with a sword, and the Honghua sword qi dispersed, blocking these wriggling seawaters.
At this moment, the moonlight suddenly darkened.
Tang Xiaofeng raised his head, but saw Hu Erniang turn into a huge blue translucent flying dragon and swoop towards them. Tang Xiaofeng snorted coldly, and stepped forward with his sword, Jianhua drew a gorgeous curve, and the flying dragon was directly cut in half.
It seemed that he had killed the flying dragon, but Tang Xiaofeng did not relax in his heart, he knew very well that what he had cut was just a pool of seawater. The sea was rolling up, and Hu Erniang's delicate and bewitching laughter came from all directions, and no one knew where she was really hiding.
Pillars of sea slammed into the hull, and the sailors hiding in the cabins screamed in surprise. Tang Xiaofeng said in his heart that it was not good, if it continued like this, even if the ship did not disintegrate, he was afraid that it would be overturned by the waves.
He jumped into the air, secretly pinched the thunder trick with his left hand, and slashed the sword. There was a thunderclap, and a bolt of lightning rushed down into the sea, and the whole sea light up.
A figure immediately flew out and floated in the air.
Tang Xiaofeng landed on the boat, withdrew the flying sword, and looked at the woman who was forced out by himself with a thunder trick, although this woman looked exactly the same as the "Hu Erniang" who appeared in front of him and the Zhitong envoy just now, but the body was no longer translucent, there was no doubt that this was the real Hu Erniang, and the one just now was just a doppelganger made of seawater.
Hu Erniang smiled: "You kid really has some ability, and his appearance is not bad, which makes people like it, do you want to join us?" I can convince the boss to make you the third master of Devil's Axe Mountain. ”
Tang Xiaofeng said: "Can I be the boss and you be my subordinates?" ”
Hu Erniang said: "Your ambition is not small, but it's a pity that if you want to be the big boss of the Devil's Axe Mountain, your ability is not enough." ”
Tang Xiaofeng shrugged: "If you can't be the boss, then it's not interesting." ”
Hu Erniang sneered: "Even if it's not interesting...... But it's better than dead! ”
Tang Xiaofeng snorted, wanting to see what this woman could make a name for. At this moment, a strange red light burst out from Hu Erniang's eyes, although he didn't know what she was doing, Tang Xiaofeng still subconsciously wanted to avoid her sight.
But it was late, as if there was a powerful energy that firmly bound him, so that he could not escape, could not hide. He felt as if every cell in his body was burning, blazing. He forcibly used his sword qi to circulate in his body, but he couldn't get rid of this shackle.
There was a roar beside him, and the envoy slammed his own throat and stumbled a few steps, before his body exploded, and pieces of flesh were scattered to the ground like lit candles, melting into blood one by one.
Tang Xiaofeng was taken aback.
He felt like his throat was about to burst into flames, and he knew that he was about to end up with the same fate. But he didn't know how Hu Erniang did it, just eyes, he was just looking at Hu Erniang's eyes, why did he fall into such a desperate situation?
Hu Erniang's face flashed with mockery, although the young man below was proficient in the art of swordsmanship, he obviously had no experience in fighting immortal arts, so that he was so simply used by himself to use the qi of the five elements to hook the lungs and launch the technique of "Hong Yan into the Ding".
Seeing that although Tang Xiaofeng was dazed, he could barely resist with his sword qi and did not explode like a branch chamber, Hu Erniang sneered again, wanting to launch more Hong Yan Qi to break into the young man's body, but before she could continue, she saw a flash of sword light, and the young man had jumped up like lightning and flew into the sea in an instant.
Hu Erniang was secretly shocked, thinking that this young man had obviously been invaded by a large amount of Hong Yan Qi in his body, and he could actually get rid of her charm, such perseverance was really not to be underestimated, and she was even more determined to get rid of this young man no matter what.
As soon as she raised her hands, countless water dragons rose into the sky and crashed into the big boat, which immediately fell apart. Hu Erniang sneered: "If you go to heaven and earth, I can't help you, you run into the sea, do you still want to live?" ”
With a stab in her body, she plunged into the sea like a fish, she knew that Tang Xiaofeng would never escape too far, so she swam around in the water, trying to find him, but no matter how she searched, she couldn't find the young man's figure, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
She didn't know that the moment she entered the sea, Tang Xiaofeng came out of the sea again.
At the moment of falling into the sea, the cold sea water washed over Tang Xiaofeng's body, making him somewhat calm. He saw Hu Erniang's method of manipulating the waves and sea water, and naturally knew that hiding in the sea was not a way at all, not to mention that although he knew water, he was not a fish, and it was impossible to hold his breath in the sea for too long, so he immediately went around the bottom of the boat.
Hu Erniang wrecked the ship into the water, he seized the opportunity, jumped out from the other end of the hull, and landed on the slowly sinking deck.
Although he wanted Edgeworth to fly away, his body was still hot and dry, and he fell to his knees on the deck, supporting his body with his hands, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
There is no escape.
He knew this very well.
What's more, although the branch room has nothing to do with him, since he has already run to protect him, he can only watch him die in front of him, which really makes Tang Xiaofeng feel angry.
The anger in his heart and the desire to live made Tang Xiaofeng make up his mind that he couldn't let Hu Erniang go like this no matter what. He took a deep breath, forcibly endured the stuffiness and pain in his chest, concentrated all his attention, and poured his divine sense, as well as the Honghua sword qi that he forcibly forced out, into the flying sword.
Hu Erniang couldn't find him in the sea, and sooner or later he would fly out to check.
The moment she went to sea, it was her chance.
And the only chance.
The more desperate the situation, the more it can stimulate a person's potential. At this moment, Tang Xiaofeng was not only not crushed by the flood flame qi in his body, but his mind was calm to the extreme. He stood there silently with his sword in his hand, half-kneeling, and let the wreck sink little by little. The moonlight sprinkled in the cold night sky and the swaying patterns on the deep blue sea were all clearly grasped by him, and there was no leakage.
A small shadow appeared on the surface of the sea, and the water rippled with almost imperceptible waves.
Tang Xiaofeng suddenly made a move, and the flying sword cut through the void, and even the air was stabbed with a scorching smell. At the moment when the water surface parted, the tip of the sword coincidentally pierced through the separated water pattern.
The next thing I heard was a coquettish cry, and Hu Erniang jumped out, and at the same time sprinkled red blood.
Tang Xiaofeng judged at a glance that although this woman was stabbed in the chest, it was not the heart that pierced. Seeing her fall on the sea, turning her head in horror, Tang Xiaofeng recalled the flying sword and laughed loudly: "You have been tricked." ”
Angry and slashed at Hu Erniang.
Hu Erniang was shocked, she thought that even if Tang Xiaofeng did not die after falling into the sea, he would definitely be suppressed by the Hong Yan Qi in his body and could not move, but she didn't expect to find Tang Xiaofeng in the sea, and after coming out, he secretly attacked him and stabbed him. Seeing Tang Xiaofeng slashing murderously, she turned around in fright, and fled frantically on a wave, losing even the courage to look back.
She didn't know that all the sword qi that Tang Xiaofeng had left was used on the sword that attacked her just now, and now this slash was just for show.
Seeing Hu Erniang fleeing, Tang Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, then plopped, fell into the sea, poured a few mouthfuls of seawater, and sank quickly.
He had lost even the strength to swim.
In the midst of this constant sinking, he saw in a drowsy light that something was swimming towards him. Is it human? Is it fish? He couldn't tell the difference......
