Otherworldly Chapter 45: Defeating the Cloud Tiger
Moon Lake.
There is a moon-hunting mountain in the north of the Golden City, which is very high, so it has the name of 'moon-by-moon'. There is a hill in the Golden City, which is also hundreds of meters high, and the name is small and moon-hunting. Moon Lake is at the foot of Xiaozhuyue Mountain, covering an area of thousands of acres, and is the main source of drinking water in the Golden City. The City Lord's Mansion is backed by the small Moon Mountain, facing the Moon Lake, and the real back of the mountain and the water.
Su You followed Ji Changfeng to the City Lord's Mansion to hand over the remaining two thousand Geng Tiger Blades. For this batch of orders, the first 1,000 quantities took a month and a half, and the remaining 2,000 did take only 20 days. It can be seen that mold manufacturing does not improve the refining speed at all.
Of course, Miss Gongzi of the City Lord's Mansion will not come to receive this batch of delivery guards, but the housekeeper in the mansion will go out to receive them, and after completing the handover procedures for the goods, everyone will return. Su You took the opportunity to ask to stay and enjoy the scenery of Xiaozhuyue Mountain and Moon Lake. The lake is full of metasequoias, and in late autumn, it is beautiful to form a continuous golden yellow in a circle. As the sun sets, sitting at Su You's angle, you can see the red sun printed on the surface of the lake, a golden yellow, with a kind of beauty of autumn.
Su You sat alone in a small lakeside pavilion, staring at the sparkling surface of the lake. It's been three months since I came to this world, and when I think of my parents and younger brother in that world, they're all right. Fortunately, there is still a younger brother, and my parents will not be too sad because of their departure. It's strange that I didn't feel too sad or scared when I came to a strange world, and I didn't even think much about the consequences of never going back. It seems to be taken for granted that when I wake up, I find myself back in the modern world, back to my parents.
Su You thinks about the past, interesting things from childhood to adulthood, and the girlfriend he had in college. He is tall and handsome, he has had two girlfriends in his sophomore year, the first girlfriend is sweet-looking, but he is more fun-loving, at first he was attracted by Su You's appearance and talent and took the initiative to pursue him, but after a long time, he felt that Su You was more boring, so he broke up. The second girl, whose family conditions are very good, while Su You's family situation is average, and after being hindered by her parents, she broke up again. Unexpectedly, although they broke up with Su You, because of his pure character, the two girls still regarded him as a very good friend.
Su You was quiet in the trivial bits and pieces of the past, and he was confused. Until Xiaobai's cry woke him up, he saw two women and two men walking along the stone road by the lake. They all knew each other, the woman was Yao Weiqi and the maid girl I saw in the clothing store last time, and the man was indeed Xi Yunlong and the second senior brother Shang Yunhu. Su You wondered how they could come together? He was also a little sad for Young Master Sun in his heart, but seeing that they were not alone, maybe it was not what he imagined.
The four of them also saw Su You in a daze by the lake. Yao Weiqi was stunned at first, and soon returned to normal. The four of them looked at Su You suspiciously, Su You arched his hand and didn't speak, waiting for them to speak first.
Xi Yunlong said first: "You are the master of the Ten Thousand Blades Commercial Building, and you have seen it at the banquet." Why are you here? ”
Su You said: "I've seen the county lord, the young master, and Senior Brother Shang, so coincidentally? He didn't answer his question, not to mention that Xi Yunlong didn't say how they were here. Su You felt that although Xi Shang and the others were looking at him, they did glance at Xiaobai inadvertently. Combined with Xi Zuping's peek at Xiaobai's expression during the banquet before, there was some kind of same intention hidden in their eyes.
Su You didn't want to talk to them too much. hugged his fist at Yao Weiqi and said, "I'm about to leave, county lord, take my leave!" Yao Weiqi couldn't show that she knew him, she just smiled and nodded, and the little girl also showed curiosity appropriately, and the performance was just right. The knowledge of the attendant maid of the City Lord's Mansion is not ordinary.
Several people staggered by, Su You's divine sense sensed that the eyes of the four fell on his back, and Xi Yunlong gave Shang Yunhu a look. Su You turned a bend and quickened his pace after reaching a water of fir trees.
Xi Yunlong said to Yao Weiqi: "What an impolite guy, are the Sun Clan's Ten Thousand Blades Masters so arrogant?" Let Yunlong send Miss back to the house, Yunhu, you can wait for me here. ”
Yao Weiqi glanced at the direction in which Su You disappeared, then glanced at Shang Yunhu, and frowned. She hesitated for a moment but nodded, and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, Yao Weiqi walked very slowly, and from time to time introduced the scenery of Moon Lake to Xi Yunlong, and even stopped to admire it, full of interest. Xi Yunlong is also a picture of great interest.
The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker. The thick trees on both sides of the cobblestone road covered it, and the road was dark. Feeling the sound of extremely fast footsteps behind him from far and near, Su You asked Xiaobai to hide behind the tree next to him, and let it wait for the opportunity to sneak attack the other party, and he turned around and stood still. He had already grasped the little white blade in his backhand, hiding the hilt in the palm of his hand, and the blade was inserted in the sleeve of his coat.
After a while, Shang Yunhu appeared behind, he looked at Su You standing in the middle of the road in amazement, as if he couldn't imagine that Su You not only didn't run away, but was also waiting for him leisurely.
Su You didn't see Xi Yunlong, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm only here now." The guess is right, Xi Yunlong and Yao Weiqi are together, and they will definitely not be able to catch up for a while. He saw that Shang Yunhu was chasing after him alone, so he dared to show up.
Shang Yunhu looked at the left and right sides in surprise and asked, "Where is your wolf pet?" ”
"I let it go back first. You're here for my little white wolf, can you tell me why? Su You's tone was relaxed, and he did a good job of hiding the curiosity in his heart.
Shang Yunhu's eyes flashed, and he said, "I won't tell you, when I take you down, I will naturally be able to find your wolf pet." ”
Seeing that he couldn't answer the question, Su You knew that he had to fight quickly, otherwise it would be difficult for him to escape when Xi Yunlong arrived. He flew up and jumped up, and his left fist hit Shang Yunhu's face directly, but the golden vitality in his fist was not released. At the same time there was a whimper in his mouth.
Shang Yunhu saw that Su You dared to pounce up, and attacked himself with his fists, his eyes showed disdain, and when he heard the "woo" sound, he showed a defensive look again. The fist was close to the door, Shang Yunhu shouted wildly on the surface, and swung his knife at the fist, but in fact, he secretly left three points of strength.
Su You withdrew his fist as soon as he spit it out, and Jin Yuanqi hit the long knife in Shang Yunhu's hand without pain or itching, and the long knife didn't shake for a moment. Shang Yunhu's face was puzzled, and the long knife slashed forward. Su You leaned to the right side, and the short sword in his right hand slashed through the sleeve and stabbed Shang Yunhu's chest, and the small white blade and yellow mangs were flourishing, and the vitality was bursting.
This time was completely unexpected by Shang Yunhu. He saw that Su You was empty-handed, and although he was on guard, he didn't expect him to hide the sword in his sleeve in advance.
Su You's left fist swung forward again, this time it was indeed golden, and the vitality that had already been accumulated was already strong and rushed towards Shang Yunhu's face door with a spiral qi column, and his breath was stagnant with his vigorous breath. The right sword and left fist are attacked at the same time.
However, Shang Yunhu already had three points of strength when he slashed the knife, although he panicked, he reacted quickly, and the long knife spat out violently, and a water vitality blocked Su You's vitality fist pillar. After shooting out the vitality, his long knife was slightly retracted, and the diagonal grid was directed towards the small white blade, and the change of moves was as fast as lightning.
Su You had long thought about using a short sword to sneak attack Shang Yunhu, so he estimated his possible reaction, although Shang Yunhu showed extraordinary skills and adaptability, Su You was not surprised.
The swords intersected, the vitality collided, and Shang Yunhu successively resisted Su You's powerful fist and short blade with one sword, and naturally fell to the downside. He was indeed not in the slightest confusion, and took the opportunity to retreat, but he retreated to Su You's left side, widening the distance between him and Su You's little white blade. He took advantage of the long knife, and before he landed, his wrist flicked, and he had already swept his waist and slashed at Su You's waist. Demonstrate strong body skills and fighting experience.
The little white blade really stagnated, and it swirled into brilliant sword flowers, enveloping Shang Yunhu. Shang Yunhu was not moved by the yellow mang in front of him, he knew that after touching the ground, he would be able to accumulate enough energy, reorganize his sword moves, and regain his disadvantage.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, two wind blades shot at his back, one after the other. I'm really afraid of something, Shang Yunhu is already guarding against the little white wolf, but the timing of this sneak attack is too good.
He twisted and dodged the wind blade that shot to his waist, and then threw his fist to disperse another wind blade. However, he has missed the opportunity to reorganize his knife momentum and can only choose to retreat.
The short sword shot to his chest, and Shang Yun's tiger eyes flashed sharply, and he turned to the left. When he turned over, the knife in his hand swept the small white blade from under him. But when he heard the sound of the "bell", he was shocked to find that the long knife had been cut off from it, and he suddenly lost his mind.
Xiao Bai had also pounced, biting Shang Yunhu's calf in the air, and immediately dripping with blood. "Poof!" The little white blade chased after him and stabbed him in the left chest, blood pouring out of his clothes.
Su You kicked off Shang Yunhu's hand to interrupt the knife again. Shang Yunhu only had time to let out a scream and fell to the ground injured.
In an instant, Su You cooperated with Xiao Bai to sneak attack, using the sharpness of Xiao Bai's blade to bring down Shang Yunhu. If it weren't for Su You's not wanting to kill, he would have attacked and killed him just now.
Shang Yunhu's martial arts skills were useless, so he was taken down by them together, and he had to be aggrieved and aggrieved, and he was angry.
Su You stepped on Shang Yunhu's chest, and blood immediately shot out from the wound, and Jin Yuan Qi broke into his body at the same time, causing blood to leak from the corner of his mouth. Only then did he drink lightly: "Say! Why do you want to get my little white wolf? ”
Shang Yunhu snorted miserably: "It was my master who told us to keep an eye on the Sun Mansion and find a chance to capture your little wolf, and I don't know why?" It was an accident to just meet you by the lake. ”
Su You didn't seem to be lying when he heard him, and he didn't have time to spend here, Xi Yunlong could appear at any time, and it was already very risky for him to intercept Shang Yunhu here. He didn't have the intention of killing, so he stabbed Shang Yunhu into his right leg with another sword, and then kicked him in the forehead, Shang Yunhu fell down with a muffled grunt and fainted.
If Xi Yunlong chased after him, seeing that Shang Yunhu couldn't ignore it, he wouldn't be able to pursue Su You.
Su You and Xiaobai quickly ran back to the commercial building with a smoke.
...............
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Yao Weiqi walked into the study, and there were two men in the room. The elder was the elegant and heroic Yao City Lord, who was holding a Genghu knife in his hand, and he was contemplating. I saw his fingers caressing the tiger stripes on the knife, and then kept touching it down, and the knife boring, knife stem, and knife .......
When he saw Yao Weiqi coming in, he said, "Rui'er, Qi'er, do you see any difference?" ”
Another young man, tall and handsome, was also thinking, and when he heard this, he replied, "Father! I guess Ten Thousand Blades has mastered a novel method of refining, but I don't know how? I am sure that the carving on this knife is different from that of an ordinary craftsman, but I cannot tell what is different. I just feel that the lines of these carvings are on the hard side, and the thickness and depth of each carving are exactly the same. I've examined more than a dozen knives and they're all incredibly accurate. Each artist's strength and technique are different, how can it be possible to make the engraving on each knife exactly the same? Even if it's carved by the same person, it can't all be the same. So this must be a unique technique. ”
This young man is none other than the son of the Golden City Lord, Yao Weiqi's elder brother, Yao Chuanrui.
Yao Wensheng saw that Yao Weiqi wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Qi'er! What do you think? ”
Yao Weiqi replied: "Qi'er doesn't know how to refine weapons, you and your brother can't see through it, how can I know?" However, I have one thing to say, do you remember that I mentioned the two young artifact makers of the Ten Thousand Blades? I think they're people who have been cultivated in secret. ”
Yao Wensheng said: "You mean that the artifact maker named Su You and Baishan is called?" That Hakuyama also defeated Luo Yongcheng's son at the banquet. ”
Yao Weiqi said: "It's the two of them. If, as my brother said, Wan Jian has mastered a new skill, it must have something to do with these two people. ”
Yao Chuanrui said: "Why is the little sister so determined? Two young artifact makers, how capable of it? You must know that even the Instrument Sect could not complete such a large number of seal carving work in such a short time. What's more, the Refining Grandmaster wouldn't do this kind of carving. ”
Yao Weiqi said solemnly: "My brother has never seen these two people. That day, Qi'er saw with her own eyes the loom they designed, which was a pioneering feat that subverted weaving technology. So, if they create something that subverts refining technology, I can accept it. I still have something to say: just now I was returning home with Brother Xi Yunlong, and I met Su You on the way, I saw Xi Yunlong glaring at Shang Yunhu, and guessed that Shang Yunhu would make a move on Su You. I deliberately dragged Xi Yunlong, but I don't know if Su You can escape from Shang Yunhu? Do you think Xi Zuping also discovered the important position of these two people in the Sun clan before he took action against them? ”
Father and son looked surprised at the same time. Yao Wensheng said: "Qi'er said this, it can be explained." The last time Xi Zuping came to ask me to introduce Sun Chongyuan, I was suspicious at that time. Although the Spirit Dao Sect is friendly with the four princes, it is not the turn of the Spirit Dao Sect to pull the cage Sun clan. Later, Xi Zuping only symbolically ordered 500 Genghu knives, which must have something strange, and Xi Zuping must have other schemes. ”
He turned to Yao Chuanrui and said, "Rui'er is staring at Xi Zuping, if we find out what he does against the Sun family, we can sell it to Sun Chongyuan." ”
********
Three days later, the convoy of horses escorting the goods of the Ten Thousand Blades Merchant House began to set off for the imperial capital. Sun Chongyuan led the team, accompanied by Miss Sun, Zhao Guang, Xiao Qiang, and Su You and Bai Shan went with the team.
The mold shop was handed over to Ji Yang and the two of them. During this time, the two communicated with Su You the most, and they had the fastest understanding of mold manufacturing.
As soon as the sky was faintly bright, a team of two hundred people escorted thirty carriages out of the city quietly. Among them were a hundred heavily armored knights and a hundred light cavalry guards.
Su You rode on a black horse, he liked pure black horses, and his shiny black mane looked very powerful. He was dressed in a black light armor suit, which matched the dark horse just right.
Bai Shan was also dressed in light armor, and he looked at the heavy knights in golden helmets and golden armor, their faces were covered by helmets, and only their eyes were exposed, and they couldn't tell who was who. He couldn't help but remember that when he first saw Sun Xiuyun in Baiyun Town, she also covered her head and face, and he didn't know that it was Miss Sun at all.
The horses of the heavy knights are also dressed in gold armor and iron spear armor, which is not very powerful.
Su You, Bai Shan, and Xiao Qiang are all dressed as light riders, but they have soft armor on their chests to protect the vital points. Light riding is better at speed and maneuverability. But when the heavy rider is impacting at full speed, that kind of power is also terrifying, and the blocker is invincible.
The three of them were more familiar and rode together to chat. Xiao Qiang said: "It will take ten days on the way to the imperial capital, and I will pass by two cities and several towns, and I walked through it once two years ago. Today I have to travel 150 miles, I will stay in Changshui Town for one night at night, and tomorrow I will make a point in Shanqian Village for three consecutive days to cross the moon mountain range. There are lush forests and wild beasts are rampant, and this is the section of the road that we need to focus on protecting. Passing through the Moon Mountains, there are mostly official roads, and the road is easy to walk. ”
Su You thought to himself, the convoy travels more than 100 miles a day, and 10 days is more than 1,000 miles, and the Golden City is not close to the Purple City, and there are four major cities in the southeast and northwest, so it is estimated that the land area of Xinhao Country is not small.
This road is beautiful for Su You, and Xiaobai is even more excited to return to the wilderness, running forward and back from time to time. But others find the journey boring. The others didn't have much interest in talking, and they just hurried away, Sun Chongyuan and Sun Xiuyun's father and daughter rode in the middle of the team, talking in a low voice from time to time.
