At this time, Duanmu Hong, who was still drinking and eating, seemed to feel something, raised his head to look at Jiang Cheng, and asked, "Brother Tai, you have been looking down for a while, but do you have any advice?" ”

Jiang Cheng returned the salute with his fists and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, the three ruffians fainted, but what did Brother Tai do?" ”

"Is it seen?" Duanmuhong smiled slightly, but he didn't mean to hide it, and said, "Look at Your Excellency's clothes, I think you are a disciple of Hero Mountain Villa, right?" The red-clothed boy in Shicai is surnamed Xiahou, but he is the young owner of Zhengqi Villa? ”

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a while, and said, "Your Excellency can see the origin of our waiting just by our clothes and words, which must be unusual. ”

"It's too much, brother!" Duanmuhong raised his glass again, took a sip, and said, "I'm just a swordsman who wants to participate in the sword tasting conference!" Speaking of this, he called the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, how to go to the nearest road to Yunzhou Zhejian Villa?" ”

"Hero Villa" is the original name of Ouyang Shijiamanor, but this name has long been forgotten, and everyone in the world knows it, but Yunzhou folds the sword.

The shopkeeper said: "The nearest road is to go in the direction of Qianfeng Ridge, but there are a large number of bandits there, and the guest officer has to be very careful!" ”

Duanmuhong became interested and said, "Shopkeeper, can you be more careful about those bandits?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "In the past, there were occasional strong merchants, but I have never heard of anyone losing their lives. ”

Duanmuhong asked, "Have you ever reported to the government?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said helplessly: "It's not that I haven't reported it, it's just that every time the officers and soldiers come, the bandits immediately disappear, and after repeating it several times, the government doesn't care about it, so they simply turn a blind eye." Fortunately, they did not come to the village to plunder, but they also left some peace here. ”

Duanmuhong nodded and said, "This road is exactly what I want!" With that, he got up and walked out of the inn.

This is, Xiahou Jinxuan came back from outside the inn, Jiang Cheng turned around and said, "Brother Xiahou, the road ahead doesn't seem to be very peaceful, according to the shopkeeper, there are bandits in Qianfeng Ridge." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you need to take a detour?" ”

Jiang Chengdao: "If you take a carriage, you can take the official road when we came, but we are now a few days late, and we are walking, and if we take a detour, it will take more trouble." ”

"It's okay to go around the distance, it's all ......"

"In this way, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the period of the Sword Tasting Conference."

Xiahou Jinxuan was silent.

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will live up to the trust of my family teacher and Lingzun and let you go to the meeting in time." ”

Xiahou Jinxuan nodded and said: "In this case, tomorrow we will go to Qianfeng Ridge, if we encounter a thief, we will get rid of it, and it will be regarded as a big harm to the local people." ”

Jiang Cheng advised: "Don't be reckless! If that's the case, your safety must be a priority. ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said with a smile: "With Brother Jiang here, I don't think there is any need to worry too much." ”

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a while and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trust." It's not early, you go back and rest first......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of gold and iron clashing outside the inn, Jiang Cheng walked to the door to take a look, but saw that Duanmuhong and Xie Cangxing had drawn their swords and fought together, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xiahou Jinxuan said with a smile: "When I came back, I saw Brother Xie stopping that young man from competing in martial arts, I think it was Brother Xie who was itching again, right?" ”

Jiang Cheng didn't say much, he watched the battle intently, and then he saw the whole picture of Duanmu Hong's sword: the tip of the triangular head, the sword body is long and wide, the two sides of the sword spine are red and bloody, the blade is silver and white, and the sound of the long sword breaking through the air is soft and smooth without stagnation, which is obviously a peerless blade.

Judging from Jiang Cheng's many years of reading the sword, in terms of material, craftsmanship, and sharpness, this sword is better than the treasure of the town school of the Hero Villa, the Purple Glowing Sword.

Back in the field.

But seeing that Xie Cangxing's sword was not out of the sheath, it was tricky and strange, a pick, a stab, a point, and a split, all of which were attacking the opponent's difficult to defend dead corners, and every blow was vigorous and powerful.

The young man in white fell behind in momentum, and every time he narrowly avoided Xie Cangxing's sword, the red long sword in his hand was attached to Xie Cangxing's black sword, and often there was only one or two opportunities to counterattack among the ten, but every counterattack was extremely powerful, forcing Xie Cangxing to almost abandon the sword and surrender, but he always turned from attack to defense at critical moments, and he didn't know whether it was inexperience or deliberately leaving room for it.

Jiang Cheng had never seen such a whimsical, delicate and mysterious swordsmanship, although the two sides of the sword competition did not use sword qi to resist the enemy in the air, but every move and style condensed the advanced skills that he had never seen before, and for a while he couldn't help but be fascinated, and said secretly:

"Master has cultivated to the realm of heaven and man, but he has never performed such a profound swordsmanship, the origin of these two people is by no means simple!"

At this time, he suddenly heard Xie Cangxing laugh and said, "Brother Duanmu is good at kung fu!" I don't know what school it is? He spoke in his mouth, but he was not slow in his hand, and the flat sword pierced Duanmu Hong's heart.

In his opinion, although Duanmuhong is quite similar to Li Xiaoyao, he is only a young man who has not reached the weak crown after all, and he didn't think that he was Li Xiaoyao for a while, so he asked casually.

"Inherit the Sword Sect under the Lower Division!" Duanmuhong chuckled, his speed of speech was no different from ordinary small talk, he took a step back with his left foot, drew a circle with his sword, and deflected Xie Cangxing's sword momentum away.

Duanmu Hong learned a whole body, except for the Seven Swords Sword Technique and the Bright Sword Technique, the rest of the swordsmanship of the Fengyun Department either came directly from the Sword Sect, or based on the Sword Sect's swordsmanship, he himself was deeply influenced by the Nameless, and the Nameless also inherited the Sword Sect, so Duanmu Hong regarded himself as a disciple of the Sword Sect.

"Sword Sect?" Xie Cangxing was surprised and asked, "What kind of sect is this?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Duanmu Hong said: "This sect is aimed at promoting the way of the sword, and most of the people walking in the rivers and lakes do not mention the name of the sect, so it is not known to outsiders. Brother Xie can fight with me, and it must be extraordinary if he wants to come to the teacher. ”

Xie Cangxing smiled but did not speak, but he secretly complained in his heart:

His swordsmanship is based on being fierce and domineering, focusing on one force to reduce ten meetings, but he unexpectedly met such a strange man who makes a sword, his sword momentum seems to be slow and weak, but it is always cleverly and skillfully pointed at the place where he is not easy to exert strength, making himself extremely uncomfortable; His swordsmanship is natural, and it seems that he has been making this move from beginning to end, but no matter how much he urges him to attack, he can't break through his seemingly slow sword momentum.

If the opponent is bent on defending, it is fine, but he always adapts to the rhythm of his defense and suddenly has a fierce counterattack, if there is a slight negligence, it will be a defeat immediately, if you concentrate on it, it is bound to consume more mind, and it is difficult to fight for a long time.

At this moment, Xie Cangxing seems to be aggressive, but in fact, he has already lost the initiative in the battle situation and has fallen into a trap that is sure to be defeated.

"It can't go on like this! Get a trick to decide the winner! Xie Cangxing thought of this, flew away, and said with a smile: "Brother Duanmu, let's decide the winner with one move!" ”

"Come on!"

Duanmuhong didn't chase after him, and he was ready to fight.

Governor Xie Cang exhaled and his arm shook slightly, the black sword slashed left and right twice, and the two sword qi swept towards Duanmu Hong like a huge wave. Duanmu Hong was not afraid, the sword body swirled sharply, and the indigo blue qi came out of the body, forming a huge whirlpool around the body, even if the huge waves were monstrous, they were also invisible in front of the bottomless whirlpool.

At this time, Xie Cangxing's real lore of "Destroying Yue Shock" came from above, but seeing that he was spinning sideways in mid-air, the black sword in his hand slashed down towards Duanmu Hong.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be slightly moved, this move Xie Cangxing had already used several times along the way, his move was simple and clear, and he used force to control the enemy, and Xie Cangxing was invincible every time he used it. Jiang Cheng thought about it many times, but he didn't know how to deal with this move, but he didn't know how the white-clothed swordsman would deal with it?

But seeing Duanmuhong chuckling, the two fingers of his left hand were together, and it was a "long rainbow through the sun" to meet him.

"Ding!"

A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, Xie Cangxing flew back, his face flushed for a while, and after a while, he returned to normal, and laughed: "Little brother is so capable!" Hahahahaha! ”

Duanmu Hong saluted and said with a smile: "Brother Xie agrees!" ”

In fact, neither of the warring sides did their best, Xie Cangxing saw that the opponent was young and weak, and at most he could only use two to three true strengths, and Duanmu Hong's cultivation was much better than Xie Cangxing's, and the battle was just a test of his swordsmanship.

"By the way," Xie Cangxing asked with a smile, "Little Brother Duanmu, what is the name of your last move to refer to the sword kung fu?" How do I feel that it is somewhat similar to the Seven Absolute Sword Qi of Suzhou Linjiabao? ”

"Lin Jiabao" three words, although Xiahou Jinxuan did not react, Jiang Cheng's face changed slightly, Lin Jiabao with a sword to dominate the Tiannan side for decades, and Shenjiabao divided half of the Central Plains martial arts mountains and rivers, its master Lin Tiannan was once the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, if it were not for the unintentional affairs of the rivers and lakes in recent years, and Shenjiabao lost power due to the Chiba Rebellion and no successor, and the current martial arts is not the turn of the four major families to dominate.

If this white-clothed swordsman is really a disciple of the Lin family, does it mean that Lin Tiannan is ambitious again?

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but turn such a thought in his heart.

Duanmuhong said with a smile: "Shicai's move is called 'Changhong Guanri', Brother Xie can still see it?" But he avoided Xie Cangxing's second question.

Xie Cangxing didn't hold on to the problem, and said with a smile: "Just listening to this name, it's much more magnificent than my trick 'Destroying Yue Shake'!" ”

"Isn't that?" The speaker didn't know when he had returned, so he only heard her joke: "Broken stones, you are just stupid, how can you compare with other famous and decent disciples?" ”

Duanmu Hong arched his hand towards the flaw and said with a smile: "The girl praised it falsely!" was able to win by luck in the next place, but it was only thanks to Brother Xie that he didn't care about the gains and losses of victory or defeat. But he did not deny that he was a disciple of the Lin family, anyway, his current identity - Li Xiaoyao is Lin Tiannan's son-in-law, and he is not afraid of being exposed to the diorama.

"Brother Tai, modesty is certainly a virtue, but it will be hypocritical if you go too far!" But seeing Xiahou Jinxuan walking out slowly, he waved towards Duanmu Hong: "In Xiahou Jinxuan, Xiamingzhou, Brother Taigui's surname is a big name, and I hope to show it." ”

Duanmuhong also saluted and said: "In Xiaweizhou, Duanmuhong, the word rhymes." If Brother Xiahou doesn't dislike it, just call me Gongyun. "Weizhou, is the ancient Weiguo, Duanmuhong ancestor Zigong was born in Weiguo, so he called himself Weizhou.

At that time, the secular etiquette set by the martial arts people for the scholars was not completely copied, although there were names, but most of them did not take the words, Xiahou Jinxuan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and said: "Brother Jiang said that Brother Gongyun wants to go to the Sword Tasting Conference on the Qianfengling Mountain Road?" ”

"Exactly. If those bandits dare to stop me without their own strength, I intend to get rid of them, and it will be regarded as a great disaster for the surrounding mountain people. Duanmuhong said lightly, as if he didn't take the bandit in his eyes at all.
