Chapter 418: Strange Old Man
Tang Xiaohao saw the old man questioning himself, and felt that no matter how he answered, he hesitated.
The most important thing is that Tang Xiaohao knows very well that these seniors in the rivers and lakes eat more salt than he eats rice, and his lies will soon be recognized.
So, Tang Xiaohao, who relaxed his vigilance, said, "I don't know much about the Jianghu Sect, but I know Han Yingzhuang, and not only that, but I also know the Ice Heart Sword Technique."
Under the arrangement of his father Tang Chen, Tang Xiaohao learned all the known fists, feet and swords on the rivers and lakes, although the covers of the sword books and boxing books he learned were torn off, and he didn't know which sect or sect, but the Bingxin Sword Technique was an exception, because it was taught to him by his father Tang Chen himself.
Although Tang Chen usually uses a knife, he is actually a good hand at using a sword, and his knowledge of the Bingxin Sword Technique is quite profound, and even made Tang Xiaohao think that his father had studied under Hanyingzhuang at one time, but Tang Chen never really set foot in Ruiyuan. Look at the book
Tang Chen also warned Tang Xiaohao not to use a complete set of kung fu easily, especially Han Ying's swordsmanship, unless it was a last resort, not to let outsiders know that he knew the Ice Heart Sword Technique.
As for why? Tang Chen did not explain.
Tang Xiaohao faced this old man and dared to say all this, precisely because he felt that in the ghost place of Ruiyuan, no one would care, let alone cause trouble, which was why when he was in Gucheng Pass, he would teach the sword style to Urur.
The old man was stunned when he heard that Tang Xiaohao knew the Ice Heart Sword Technique, and then handed the long sword in his hand to Tang Xiaohao.
Tang Xiaohao didn't know why: "Senior, what is this?"
The old man said, "Didn't you say that you would be able to use the Ice Heart Sword Technique? Show me."
Tang Xiaohao took the sword, but asked, "Where is the scabbard?"
The old man asked, "Why do you need a scabbard?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "The Ice Heart Sword Technique needs to draw the sword to get started."
The old man's face sank, but he immediately recovered: "There is no scabbard, you skip the starting gesture and play a few tricks casually."
When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he had to directly play a few tricky sword styles, and when the old man was watching, his face was very ugly.
"That's it!" The old man stopped Tang Xiaohao, "Let me ask you, who taught you these moves?"
Tang Xiaohao hesitated and said, "My father."
The old man was stunned: "Your father? Who is your father?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, my father is Tang Chen, the commander of the Imperial Iron Guard of the Dachang Dynasty, and I am his only son, Tang Xiaohao."
When the old man heard Tang Chen's name, he half-squinted his eyes and thought about something, and then said, "I understand."
Tang Xiaohao took the opportunity to ask, "Didn't you ask the senior's surname? How to call it? Don't get me wrong, senior, I just want to know what to call you."
The old man introduced himself: "My surname is Xuanyuan, my name is Jiaoduan, you can call me Xuanyuan senior."
Angular ends? It seemed to be the name of some kind of strange beast in mythology, and Tang Xiaohao couldn't remember it for a while.
Tang Xiaohao immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you Xuanyuan seniors for saving your life, Xiaohao must know how to repay your kindness."
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan said coldly: "I don't need you to repay, I don't have that good intentions, it's just a coincidence, since you can't go back and leave the same way, then I'll take you another way, come with me."
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he pulled out a torch from the pile of rubble behind the rocks next to him and lit it.
Tang Xiaohao could tell that the torch was newly made, which meant that Xuanyuan Jiao Duan had hidden torches all over the mine in case of emergency.
It is inferred from this that the end of the Xuanyuan Horn should have lived here for a long time.
Why did this seemingly extraordinary old man live in a cave in the Cedar Mountain Range? Is it seclusion? Or is this person expelled from the division, or is he a traitor to Hanying Villa?
Tang Xiaohao had too many questions in his mind, and he didn't even know what to do next after he left the mine. Although he promised to go to the Cold Hall of the Snow Demon Clan to explain the matter, but now that Yan Jinxue has become a snow wind chime, he doesn't know whether Yan Jinxue is dead or alive, and he doesn't know how to go to the Cold Palace.
It seems that he can only go to the summer capital first.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohao asked Xuan, who was walking in front of him with a torch
Yuan Jiaoduan: "Senior Xuanyuan, how to get to the summer capital from here?" How long will it take?"
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan smiled: "If you want to go to the summer capital from here, if you don't have horses, just by walking, even if you don't die halfway, you will have to walk for at least a month."
"A month?" Tang Xiaohao was stupid, and chased after Xuanyuan Jiaoduan, "Do you have a horse, senior? I paid for it."
Xuanyuan Jiao glanced at Tang Xiaohao: "Don't you understand the point of my words? The point is that you don't die halfway through."
Tang Xiaohao said: "I know that Ruiyuan is very dangerous, there are not only beasts but also monsters in the deep mountains, but I must rush to the summer capital. Senior, can you find a way to help me, I will definitely repay you."
Xuanyuan stopped at the end of the corner: "I just said very clearly, everything I do, it must be what I want to do, what I want to do, I don't ask for anything in return, and I hate the four words of Zhi'en Tu, do you understand?" If you say anything like that, I'll break your hamstrings and throw you here to feed those spirits."
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan's words frightened Tang Xiaohao, he had never met someone with such a weird temper before, and those hippie smiling faces on weekdays could only be put away and hidden, and honestly followed Xuanyuan Jiaoduan towards the depths of the mine.
At the same time, because of Xuanyuan's words, Tang Xiaohao felt very irritable, he was afraid that he would delay his business, and at the same time, he was also worried about the safety of the little bell.
To be precise, he was almost unable to suppress his thoughts about the little bell.
He began to regret his willfulness that night, if he was not willful and did not take the initiative to leave with Jiang Xianning, he would naturally not involve himself in these troubles.
As long as he opened his mouth at that time, the little bell would definitely take action to save him from Jiang Xianning's hands, even if he didn't save him, he could get out with Tang Rongrong and Zhan Tianya.
After the emotions of self-blame came up, Tang Xiaohao regretted more and more, and the more he regretted it, the more he missed the little bell, and he suddenly felt weak, feeling that his feet were like wearing heavy shackles, and every step was so difficult.
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan took Tang Xiaohao to the mountain wall at the end of the mine, and then pointed to a gap next to him and said, "Get in."
Tang Xiaohao looked at the gap that could only be used by one person sideways, so he had to lie down honestly, and then get into it sideways.
After crawling about a zhang away in that gap, Tang Xiaohao was directly awakened by a gust of cold wind, even though it was dark all around, but from the cold wind, he could feel that the end of the gap was a cliff.
Just when Tang Xiaohao was puzzled, a voice from the end of Xuanyuan Jiao came from behind: "After going out, stick to the mountain wall and go to the right for about two zhang, you will touch a hole, squat down and get in." Remember, you must stick to the mountain wall, if you don't stand steadily, you will fall to pieces."
Tang Xiaohao let out an "oh" and continued to climb out, and after climbing out and standing close to the mountain wall, the end of Xuanyuan Jiao also followed.
As he crawled through the gaps, Regulus said, "If you fall to your death, it's your life, so don't be afraid."
Is this a consolation? Where the is so comforting? Tang Xiaohao swallowed his saliva and walked slowly towards the right side against the mountain wall.
The cold wind outside was too strong, as if countless hands were constantly grabbing Tang Xiaohao and trying to drag him off the cliff. If you don't stick to the mountain wall, you may be blown down if you move your body slightly.
Finally, Tang Xiaohao reached the hole in the lower right with his right foot and began to squat down slowly.
At this time, Xuanyuan Jiaoduan was standing a foot away from Tang Xiaohao, and asked loudly, "Boy, are you afraid?"
Tang Xiaohao didn't dare to answer, he just wanted to get into the hole quickly, but Xuanyuan Jiaoduan walked a few steps quickly against the mountain wall, squatted down and grabbed Tang Xiaohao's left foot, and asked again: "I ask you, are you afraid?"
Tang Xiaohao, who was grabbed by the ankle, froze directly, and grabbed the protruding stone on the mountain wall with both hands: "I'm afraid......
Xuanyuan smiled at the end of the corner: "I'm also scared, because falling down is death, but what I like the most is the feeling of being put to death and being reborn, every time I walk through here, I feel like my life is hanging by a thread, I enjoy this feeling, it makes me feel more meaningful to live."
」
This old man has a problem with his brain, right? Tang Xiaohao didn't dare to say anything, so he had to say, "What the predecessor said is true."
Xuanyuan continued to laugh, "Since you think I'm right, then don't rush into it, just stand here and enjoy it a little longer."
Tang Xiaohao closed his eyes stiffly, he felt that he was about to lose his position, not only because the snow wind was too strong, but also because it was too cold, his hands were about to lose consciousness, once he lost consciousness, his hands would slip, and he would definitely fall.
However, Xuanyuan still grabbed his ankle at the end of the horn, and even shook it from time to time, giving Tang Xiaohao the feeling that he was going to drag him under the cliff.
This old guy is sick, isn't he?
"How are you feeling now?" Xuanyuan suddenly asked again, "Do you feel like you're dead?"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan's hand that grabbed Tang Xiaohao's ankle shook again.
Tang Xiaohao was already a little numb, and just said softly, "Die, die."
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan laughed when he heard this, and laughed very happily: "Yes, that's it, just like this, look down on life and death, die and die, don't you be afraid of living, are you still afraid of death?"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan let go of Tang Xiaohao's ankle, but Tang Xiaohao was really numb, feeling that his body was frozen, he lost consciousness, and barely maintained that weird posture.
Xuanyuan Jiaoduan jumped directly at this time, and then landed firmly in front of Tang Xiaohao, grabbed Tang Xiaohao, and directly dragged him into the cave next to him.
After Tang Xiaohao fell into the cave, he couldn't get up at all, and his consciousness was a little blurred.
Xuanyuan Jiao walked straight to the bonfire that was still burning in front of him, threw a few pieces of wood into it, and looked at Tang Xiaohao, who was lying on the ground and was already frozen.
Tang Xiaohao looked at the bonfire in the distance in a daze, and when he tried to climb over, Xuanyuan Jiao Duan stepped forward and dragged Tang Xiaohao's legs towards the entrance of the cave.
Xuanyuan Jiao dragged Tang Xiaohao to the entrance of the cave: "It seems that you still have the strength and have not reached the limit, then I will help you again, you will continue to enjoy the cold wind here and see how long you can last."
After that, Xuanyuan Hang approached Tang Xiaohao again, looked into his eyes, and said in an extremely hateful tone, "You should regret following me, because my purpose is to torture you, because when I saw you, I hated you very much."
Tang Xiaohao was speechless, and the cold had made him lose his ability to think normally.
He didn't understand why Regulus did this? Is he hysterical?
