On the edge of Luoyang City, the mountains and wilderness that were originally deserted are particularly lively at this time.

"Is that guy awake?" Cheng Jiujiu leaned on the donkey's back and shouted to Shen Ying on the side.

"Not yet!"

"One more bucket!"

Shen Ying grabbed a bucket and ran to the river in the distance, filled it with water, and ran to splash it on the drunk man who was paralyzed on the ground.

"Are you awake?"

Shen Ying lifted the wet head on the man's face and took a closer look, and exclaimed loudly: "No! He hasn't woken up yet! ”

"His grandmother's, don't pour it, just roast him on the fire rack!" Cheng Jiu Jiu liquor burst out, rushed to the man's side and kicked it a few meters away, the man rolled on the ground several times, snorted twice, Cheng Jiu Jiu wine pointed at the man and scolded: "The old lady has never seen such a sleep, it's like a dead pig, I don't believe I can't wake you up." ”

Shen Ying's eyes widened: "We really want to roast him?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu glared: "How can it really be baked, you go and light a torch, let's burn his ass a few times." ”

Shen Ying picked up some branches, lit them with flint and steel, and handed them to Chengjiu Wine: "You come?" ”

Cheng Jiu snatched the wine, and said angrily: "Look at your little talent, you don't have any responsibility for a man, look at me!" With that, he threw the burning branch on the man's buttocks.

"Oops!!"

The man who was originally drunk on the ground opened his eyes suddenly, and then jumped up, patting his ass with both hands, and inhaling while slapping his mouth, Cheng Jiujiu laughed when he saw this: "You are awake, I still think that if this trick is useless, I will find a higher mountain and throw you down." ”

The man didn't care about Chengjiu and sneered, a fish jumped into the river, the cold river water made the man can't help but snort a few times comfortably, and the wine woke up a lot, he looked at the two people on the river bank and asked loudly: "Are you two sick?" What will you do with the fire? ”

Cheng Jiujiu said with a smile: "It's really kind to be a donkey's liver, I'm afraid that you won't wake up from death." ”

"Thank you so much." The man gritted his teeth and glared at Cheng Jiujiu, and Cheng Jiujiu waved his hand: "It's all the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes who should help each other, why don't you come up from the river first and we'll talk?" ”

The man climbed ashore from the river, only to feel that his buttocks were cold and swishing, and when he reached out and touched it, his pants were burned by Chengjiu Wine with a few big holes, and he couldn't help but point to Chengjiu Wine is scolding, Chengjiu Liquor ignored the man's vulgar words, turned his head and asked Shen Ying: "Do you know how to go to Baihualou?" ”

Shen Ying looked at Cheng Jiu Wine, and hurriedly nodded: "Of course I know!" I go twice a day, just like in my own home. ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked softly to the man in the river, "Then do you still want to go to Baihualou?" ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" How do you know I'm going there! ”

Cheng Jiujiu said angrily: "You said it yourself." ”

The man's eyes widened: "How can I tell you such a thing!" ”

"Then it looks like you don't want to go." Cheng Jiu Jiu turned his head and shouted to Shen Ying: "Let's go, let's go kill that Cheng Jiu Jiu Liquor." ”

"Wait, Woman!" The man couldn't take care of his bare feet, and with a smear of oil under his feet, he grabbed Cheng Jiujiu and asked, "You just said that you two are going to kill Cheng Jiujiu?" ”

"Yes, we're going to kill the nine wines of the city too." Cheng Jiujiu said with a smile.

"Why did you kill her?"

"Because...... That city Jiujiu is a heinous brute, bullying men and women for all kinds of evil, everyone will be punished. ”

"The city nine wine you want to kill is the same person I am looking for?" The man raised his eyebrows, obviously a little confused: "How did I hear that Cheng Jiujiu is just a little girl with a whip?" ”

"Then why did you kill a little girl?" Cheng Jiujiu asked rhetorically.

The man coughed lightly twice, and saluted the two of them pretendedly: "The contemptible Li eliminated the disaster, what he did was to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and killing that Chengjiujiu was entrusted by a patron." ”

"Li Xiaocao? Haven't heard of it. Cheng Jiujiu asked Shen Ying beside him: "When did the beggar gang even do this kind of work?" ”

"I'm not a beggar."

"You're at least seven bags in the beggars." Cheng Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh: "It stands to reason that your kind of business should be very profitable, how could you be so shabby?" ”

Li Xiaozheng said: "Because my offer is too high, I have only received my first business until I entered the industry. ”

Cheng Jiujiu became interested and asked, "How much silver do you need to kill someone?" ”

Li Xiaohua said: "Don't want silver." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "Then what do you want?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "I want what I want." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "What do you want?" ”

"That's where I get stuck." Li Xiaowu sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm very greedy, I don't have enough 100,000 gold when I lack silver, and I don't think Jiangnan Qijue is beautiful enough when I want a woman, so I can't find a suitable customer." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "Then you met it this time, what did your customer promise to give you?" ”

Li Xiaohua said: "An opponent." ”

"What kind of opponent?"

"This patron of mine told me that the whip of Chengjiujiu is the strongest weapon in the world, and no one in the world can beat it, and I would love to see it."

"He said you believed it? Aren't you a fool? ”

"I didn't believe it, but this patron came with something with him."

"What's that?"

"The head of a lonely man."

The head of the Dugu Sword Saint? Shen Ying turned her head to look at Cheng Jiu Jiu, and Cheng Jiu Jiu Jiu was also stunned.

Since Dugu Ruoxiong inherited the position of the head of the Dugu family and became the Sword Saint, he has only lost to two people, one is the world's first sword Dongfang Shenwei, and the other is Li Chaoqing when he was a fledgling.

When Cheng Jiujiu's whip picked up his sword, he was amazed by the mellow sophistication of Cheng Jiujiu, and also gave birth to an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, which he had never felt with a sword for decades.

The world-famous power paralyzed his energy, women and wine hollowed out his body, when was the last time he practiced swords? Even he couldn't recall it himself.

He closed his eyes and waited for the death that Jojiu had given him.

"What other wishes do you have left unfulfilled?"

Lonely Ruoxiong opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.

"If you still have a wish that has not been fulfilled, I will definitely help you."

Hearing Cheng Jiujiu's words, Dugu Ruoxiong grinned: "Your girl is not only outrageous, but it is really strange to speak, the first time I heard that a killer has to help everyone who wants to kill before killing." ”

"It's my rule, it always has been."

"Your rules......" Dugu Ruoxiong raised his head and fell into contemplation, if he wanted anything before he died, he really couldn't think of it, Chengjiujiu was not in a hurry and waited quietly on the side, about a moment of kung fu Dugu Ruoxiong's eyes lit up, and he said: "I do have a wish, but you will never be able to help me realize it." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Dugu Ruoxiong said: "I want to see the strongest sword in the world again before I die." ”

"The strongest sword? How could there be such a thing? ”

"You haven't seen it, so of course you won't believe it." Dugu Sword Saint closed his eyes again, as if he was savoring a delicacy: "But I have seen it, it should have been ten years, as if it was just yesterday, that person, that kind of sword." ”

"Where is that man now?"

"I don't know, he's been missing from this world for ten years, and no one can find him." Dugu Ruoxiong sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid there is no one like him in the world, and it is difficult to have a sword like him." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was silent for a moment, picked up Dugu Ruoxiong's sword from the ground, and asked, "What is the name of this sword?" ”

"No name."

"Don't you sword wielders like to give swords a nice name?"

"That's because this sword is an ordinary sword, you can find a blacksmith to fight for you for a few taels of silver, why should I waste my energy thinking of a name for it?"

"An ordinary sword?" Cheng Jiujiu smiled and said, "I have killed a few swordsmen who are far less famous than you, and they are eager to inlay their swords with gems and gilded them with gold, but you are revered as a sword saint but use such an ordinary sword?" ”

Dugu Ruoxiong asked rhetorically: "Why aren't you the same?" What's the name of your whip? ”

"No name."

Dugu Ruoxiong laughed: "Whether it's a sword or a whip, after all, it's just a murderous weapon, and it's not a flesh-and-blood creature, so why name them?" ”

"Being able to say such things, the name of the Sword Saint is not false." Cheng Jiujiu also smiled, stroking the long sword in her hand, the blade of this sword was rusty, it was more like a scrap iron than ordinary, and she asked again: "In your opinion, what kind of sword is considered the strongest sword?" ”

"I can't tell."

"Have you seen it once? But can't tell? ”

"That sword is indescribable, you can only understand it when you see it with your own eyes."

"That's ......" Cheng Jiujiu took a few steps back as he spoke, pointing his sword at Dugu Ruoxiong: "I haven't seen the strongest sword you think is the strongest, and I don't know who you said about using that kind of sword, but I can help you fulfill your wish before you die." ”

"I said, he's been ...... for ten years"

Before the words fell, Chengjiu Wine had already come out of the sword.

……

"Hello? Feed? What do you send? ”

The sudden memory in his mind was interrupted by this shout, and Cheng Jiujiu came back to his senses and looked at the man talking in front of him in a complicated manner.

She probably guessed who the man in front of her was, and she could also think of where the patron came from, but she couldn't figure out why they wanted to kill her, was it just because she didn't kill Yan Ting?

She suddenly felt that she might be right not to kill Yan Ting.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face? Seeing Cheng Jiujiu staring at him directly, Li Xiaocao couldn't help but ask, Shen Ying on the side hurriedly ran to his side, hooked his neck and muttered a few times in his ear, Li Xiaocao listened while looking at the donkey behind Cheng Jiujiu, and the pear flower sword was hanging on the donkey's back.

"What's the name of your sword?"

It was Cheng Jiujiu who said this, and she asked about the sword wrapped in rags that Li Xiaoqi had dropped by the river.

"There's no name, it's just a broken iron sword."

Cheng Jiujiu nodded, pointed to a small hillside in the distance, and said to Li Xiaocao, "I have something to say to you, I will wait for you there." With that, he turned his head and walked back alone.

Li Xiaowu looked at the back of Chengjiujiu and sighed: "This girl has really changed a lot, the last time I saw her, she was chasing after me behind my ass and crying and asking me for candy...... What are you holding me for? ”

Shen Ying let go of her hand and asked, "You just said that that person was carrying the head of the Dugu Sword Saint to see you?" Didn't the Dugu Sword Saint die of a sudden illness? ”

Li Xiaoyan exclaimed: "Sudden illness. Who do you listen to? ”

"Miss Xiaoying, she said it herself."

Li Xiaowu tilted his head and thought about it, straightened his clothes and said, "I'll go over now and listen to what she has to say, and we'll talk about it when we come back later." With that, he walked in the direction of Chengjiujiu.

Shen Ying was about to follow, but Li Xiaocao suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is my sword?" ”

"You jumped into the river with your back just now, you should have fallen in."

"Then please help me get it." Li Xiaowu patted Shen Ying's head with a smile and said, "I'm just such a guy who eats, if I lose it, I'll rub your sword." Before the words fell, he ran far away, not giving Shen Ying a chance to speak at all.

Shen Ying stomped her foot, scolded twice, and then jumped into the river to find the sword.

Li Xiaocao's footsteps were very fast, and he rushed to the hillside in the blink of an eye, and saw that Cheng Jiujiu was sitting on a wooden stake looking into the distance in a daze, he coughed lightly twice, and said: "Jie Wai Shun Chang, I once had a relationship with Ling Zun, Ling Zun is a great swordsman. ”

"He is indeed great as a swordsman, but he is not a worthy father." Recalling Dugu Xiaoying's hateful eyes that day, Chengjiujiu had an inexplicable mustard for Dugu Ruoxiong.

Li Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed, and found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly staggered the topic: "I heard what the little brother said just now......"

"You want to fight Chengjiu, and I want revenge, how about we make a deal?" Chengjiujiu said to Li Xiaocao: "Give me a year, and in a year I will take you to see Chengjiujiu, and you will also take me to meet your patron." ”

"Why wait a year?"

"Because the Chengjiu wine has disappeared, no one can find her, and she will only appear in a year."

Li Xiaocao's eyes became a little sharp, and his gaze staring at Cheng Jiujiu became a little subtle, and Cheng Jiujiu was not afraid of his eyes and continued: "You can also refuse, I believe that with the ability of your patron, it is only a matter of time before you find Cheng Jiujiu, but you can only get an opponent who has no will to fight, and it makes no sense for you to fight with an empty shell." ”

"That's right."

Li Xiaoyu sat next to Chengjiujiu, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Pear blossom is indeed pear blossom, I will never be mistaken. ”

"Of course, Pear Blossom is Pear Blossom, and her owner is also living at ease."

With the gentle breeze of the wilderness, Li Xiaocao's eyes became a little brighter, this world is really lovely, life not only has joys and sorrows, but also many unknown coincidences.

"It doesn't matter if it's a year or ten years, I have time, I just hope that Chengjiu wine is worth my wait."

"I promise, she won't let you down."

Cheng Jiujiu also smiled, but her eyes seemed to be hazy like a thin veil, who could know what she was thinking at this time?

"I have a question to know, is Dugu Ruoxiong really killed by Chengjiu wine?"

"Yes, but it's not."

Li Xiaocao was a little confused: "How do you say this?"

Chengjiujiu said: "Before he died, he saw with his own eyes what he had been pursuing all his life, and he lost his interest, and Chengjiujiu just pushed it." ”

"The only thing that can make him lose his interest is the sword that he likes the most." Li Xiaocao thought for a moment and asked, "My patron didn't say that Cheng Jiujiu would also use swords. ”

Cheng Jiujiu said with a smile: "No matter how exquisite the swordsmanship in the world is, it is nothing more than stabbing and slashing those moves, and if you practice it, you will be a master, but there are still many people who don't understand this truth." ”

Li Xiaocao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "I am more curious about Chengjiu wine now, I have such a high attainment in martial arts, but I am so young, people like her tend to fall into two extremes, if it is used for the right path, it will benefit the world, and if it is used in the right way, it will harm the world." ”

"She's right and evil, and it has nothing to do with you and me in this year, right?" Cheng Jiujiu smiled and said, "It's just that your patron is probably not easy to explain, because he also has to wait a year." ”

"He can afford to wait, and he must wait."

Shen Ying struggled to crawl out of the river, this sword was not difficult to find, but it was a little too heavy, almost like a grinding plate, Shen Ying was almost drowned in the water with the sword, and as soon as she got on the bank of the river, she collapsed on the ground and kept panting.

What the hell is this thing? Shen Ying looked at the sword in her hand, the whole sword was extremely slender and still tightly wrapped in cloth, Shen Ying had an urge to unravel it and take a peek.

Maybe it's just a famous sword? Or a piece of scrap metal? His hand was already on the clasp of the cloth, and it only took a slight tug to know the answer.

"Hey~"

Shen Ying turned around violently, and Cheng Jiujiu and Li Xiaocao were squatting behind him, two pairs of eyes looking at him wide.

"You...... When are you ......" Shen Ying was taken aback, and her words were a little unpleasant, Li Xiaowu grinned and said, "Just when you swam ashore." With that, he picked up Shen Ying's sword, and jumped into the river with a "plop".

Shen Ying patted her heart and breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak but saw that Cheng Jiujiu was still squatting in front of him and looking at him with strange eyes, her heart was inexplicably tight, and she asked, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu pursed his lips and said softly, "I have a question for you." ”

"You ask."

"What would you do if one day you found out that the goal you had put all your thought of achieving was just an illusory dream?"

Shen Ying lowered her head and savored this sentence carefully, and after thinking for a moment, she smiled bitterly: "I don't know." ”

Cheng Jiujiu nodded, patted Shen Ying on the shoulder and said, "You have less than a year, at most a year, you can make this dream come true." ”

Shen Ying was confused when she heard this, and was about to speak when her head was hit by a big fish.

"Next!"

Shen Ying turned around, only to see Li Xiaocao probing from the river, and with a wave of his big hand, he threw over the two fat big fish, and Shen Ying hurriedly got up to pick it up.

Cheng Jiujiu didn't speak again, stretched and lay on the ground.

She shouldn't be bored for the next year.
