As the only son of the Xiaoxiang swordsman Shen Yushan, Shen Ying has been carefully guided by his father since he was a child, and he is himself gifted and intelligent, and he can be regarded as the best among his peers.

It's a pity that he met Chengjiu wine.

No one knew that this young girl would have such martial arts, as if she existed to break the common sense of the world.

Shen Ying didn't know either, he stared blankly at the sword that was bitten by Cheng Jiujiu, and a fear from the deepest part of his soul burst out in his heart.

If this girl's sword was unsheathed, what kind of power would it be?

Cheng Jiujiu opened his mouth, took a sip and said, "If you don't talk about revenge now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your own life." ”

Shen Ying silently put away her sword, and suddenly knelt down against Cheng Jiujiu, slamming her head on the ground.

"My personal life is insignificant, I just ask you to help me kill that person!"

Cheng Jiujiu didn't rush to help him up, and squatted in front of him and asked softly, "You have pinned all your hopes on me?" ”

Shen Ying did not deny it: "Yes." ”

Cheng Jiujiu then asked, "What if I don't help you?" ”

Shen Ying said: "Then I will kneel until you help me." ”

Cheng Jiujiu smiled and said: "This is the stupidest thing to do, I am not related to you, what does it matter to me if you kneel and die here?" ”

Shen Ying raised her head and said, "I can give you silver." ”

Cheng Jiujiu became interested and asked, "Silver?" How many do you have? ”

"I am wanted by Tianlu Mansion, if you bring my head to Tianlu Mansion, you can get 50,000 taels of silver." Seeing that Cheng Jiujiu seemed to be moved, Shen Ying immediately said, "As long as you promise to help me avenge me in the future, I can cut myself now." ”

Cheng Jiujiu lowered his head and thought for a moment, but he still shook his head and said, "Tianlu Mansion is at least a hundred miles away from here, and I only got 50,000 taels of silver for a few months with your head, and I have to kill people for you, which is not cost-effective." ”

Shen Ying hurriedly said again: "Not only can you get 50,000 taels, I can also give you my father's sword." ”

"Your father's sword?"

"Yes." Shen Ying took out the sword again and said, "This is my father's Xiaoxiang sword, and this sword will also be yours after I die." ”

Chengjiujiu almost laughed out again, if the broken sword in Shen Ying's hand was a Xiaoxiang sword, she would gouge out her eyeballs, but she didn't say it but asked rhetorically: "As long as I promise to help you kill that Chengjiujiu, your head and this Xiaoxiang sword are mine?" ”

"Yes, it's all yours."

Cheng Jiujiu didn't understand where Shen Ying's trust came from, and asked, "Why do you trust me so much?" ”

Shen Ying said with a firm face: "Because you are Dugu Xiaoying, the people of the Dugu family will never go back on what they promised." ”

Cheng Jiu Jiu said: "I'm not asking this, I don't understand why you are so sure that I can kill that Cheng Jiu Jiu Wine?" ”

Shen Ying said: "Because you caught my sword." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "There are not many people in the world who can catch the sword just now. ”

Shen Ying said: "But if you can catch my sword within five steps, even my father can't do it." ”

"But if I kill you now, this Xiaoxiang sword and fifty thousand taels of silver will still be mine." Cheng Jiujiu smiled: "I can take the blame for your death to Tianlu Mansion, and I don't need to help you kill people." ”

Shen Ying looked incredulous and exclaimed, "You would actually say such a thing." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "I can not only say, I can also do it." ”

Shen Ying said: "You can't do this!"

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Why can't you?" Don't forget that you've been begging me to kill you. ”

Shen Ying's eyes widened, he found that he really couldn't defend himself, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with rotten peaches for a long time and he couldn't say a word, Cheng Jiujiu said again: "Don't use the words of chivalry in the rivers and lakes to press me, you only ask me to help kill people, but I didn't expect that if I promised you, what kind of risk I would have." ”

After speaking, Cheng Jiujiu stood up, picked up the gourd from the donkey's back and poured a sip of wine, and then said: "If you have no love because no one helps you avenge you, then you really deserve to die, because this is your own business, but you pin your hopes on others." ”

Shen Ying sat on the ground as if deflated, and suddenly opened her mouth to ask, "Just like you said, I can't protect myself now, how can I take revenge?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked rhetorically: "You are not dead now, the sword is still in your hands, why can't you take revenge?" ”

Shen Ying said: "My sword with all my strength can't hurt you in the slightest, let alone that woman, I can only send you to death if I go like this." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "You are indeed going to die if you go to her now, but if you don't do it ten years later?" Although your sword is immature, it already has the rudiments of a kendo master, and if you go home and devote yourself to cultivation, you should be able to achieve success in ten years. ”

Shen Ying's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange look, like a dim starlight shrouded in dark clouds at night, Cheng Jiujiu keenly caught it, and asked, "Do you have anything else unspeakable?" ”

Shen Ying's lips trembled a little, and she said slowly, "I have no home to go back to." ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Your father is dead, and your other family members, what about them?" ”

"It's dead, too."

"How did you die?"

Shen Ying wiped her tears and said calmly: "After my father died, my mother couldn't bear the blow and died soon after she fell ill, and some people who offended my father also came to the door, and my two eldest brothers also died in those battles, even I don't know why I was hunted down by Tianlu Mansion, and I must have nothing to do with that Chengjiu wine." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was slightly shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that she would let Shen Ying's family be ruined, but she couldn't understand what the Tianlu Mansion directly under the jurisdiction of Ouchi had to do with her? Cheng Jiujiu couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think about it anymore, picked up the wine gourd and handed it to Shen Ying, and said, "Then you can't die casually, if you can't avenge them, your parents and brothers Jiuquan will not rest in peace." ”

Shen Ying took the gourd tremblingly, raised her head and poured it clean, Chengjiu Wine instantly raised her eyebrows, how could this beast drink it for her! Where do the people of this wilderness go to steal wine? Shen Ying didn't notice Chengjiujiu's face, slammed the wine gourd on the ground, and said, "Miss Xiaoying is right, if I don't cut that Chengjiujiu with a thousand knives, I will be a man in vain...... Miss Xiaoying, why is your face so ugly? ”

"It's nothing...... Cheng Jiujiu resisted the urge to slap the man to death, held his forehead and said, "It's good to figure it out, then ...... next"

"The Dugu family is unique in the world with swordsmanship, and then I want to go to Dugu Mansion in parallel with Miss Xiaoying to meet the Dugu Sword Saint and ask him to teach me swordsmanship."

"Then you'd better die." Cheng Jiujiu took out the pear flower sword from the little donkey's back, Shen Ying hurriedly took a few steps back, and asked in surprise, "Miss Xiaoying, what are you?" ”

"Uh...... Didn't you hear that my father died early last month? "Chengjiu Wine Road.

Shen Ying jumped up in surprise and shouted, "What? The sword master predecessor died violently? Last month? ”

Seeing that Shen Ying's strong reaction was not pretending, Cheng Jiujiu secretly thought in his heart that it seemed that the Dugu family had not announced the death of the Sword Saint to the world, so he squeezed out a sad expression and said: "Just last month, my father died of a sudden illness, so I left home without worry. ”

Shen Ying suddenly realized, he thought that he had said the wrong thing and mistakenly bumped into Dugu Xiaoying in front of him, and hurriedly slapped his mouth and explained: "I really don't know about this, I said the wrong thing, Miss Xiaoying, don't mind......" Seeing Cheng Jiujiu, he waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, so he stopped, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Cheng Jiujiu coughed lightly and persuaded Shen Ying: "The kendo families in the rivers and lakes are not only Dugu, if you don't know where to go, I can introduce you to a few." ”

Shen Ying shook her head, and actually knelt down again: "No need, since Dugu Mansion can't go for the time being, I think it's better to learn Dugu swordsmanship from you as a teacher, and if you don't accept me as an apprentice, cut off my head." After saying that, he closed his eyes and really stuck out his neck.

Cheng Jiujiu almost couldn't help but want to slap himself, how could he be relied on by this man of the same age as himself, but thinking that this man was ruined because of what he did, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he walked up to Shen Ying and helped him up and said: "The seven-foot man with the blue sky above his head should not kneel down at every turn, I promise to teach you, and in the future, you and I will be commensurate with brother and sister." ”

Shen Ying was overjoyed, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chengjiujiu: "Don't be happy too early, it's not easy to kill that Chengjiujiu, although I promised to teach you, whether you can succeed depends on how much endurance and perseverance you have." ”

Shen Ying's chick nodded in a pecking manner, and seemed to identify the girl in front of her: "As long as you promise to teach me swordsmanship, you can torture me as much as you want." ”

Cheng Jiujiu snorted and laughed, and the girl's coquettish smile made Shen Ying look at it stupidly, and then shook her head and asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to the little donkey behind him and said, "There is a small shovel on the donkey's back, you go and get it, bury these corpses, and we will leave." ”

Shen Ying was puzzled: "What are you doing burying these people?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu had already stepped aside and picked up the gourd that Shen Ying had thrown down, found a stone and sat down and said slowly: "They are just ordered to do things, and they are also people who were born and raised by their parents, so they should not expose their bodies to be taken by wild wolves in this wilderness." ”

"You pity people like them?"

"Pathetic? They are not pitiful at all. Cheng Jiujiu shook his head and said, "But they are also human beings, and when they die, they must at least maintain their human dignity and settle in the ground, and they cannot be treated as beasts." ”

Shen Ying was silent for a moment, silently walked to the donkey, found the shovel and began to dig up, Cheng Jiujiu showed a smile, it seems that this Shen Ying's nature is not bad, turned his head and stretched his waist, and was about to close his eyes and squint for a while, but he saw a tall figure in the distance, this figure was very slow and getting closer and closer, and it was actually coming in this direction.

Cheng Jiujiu didn't pay attention to it, closed his eyes and seemed to be really asleep.

"You ...... Who is it? This...... What is this place? ”

The shovel raised by Shen Ying froze in mid-air, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, this look made him dumbfounded, this man was disheveled, and his dirty gray cloth clothes were no different from a beggar if they were added to the pudding, Shen Ying smelled the smell of wine and sweat on the man's body from a distance, and couldn't help asking: "This big brother, are you?" ”

The man seemed to be very drunk, and his butt collapsed on the ground, Shen Ying noticed that the man was still holding a sword, but the sword was also tightly tied with a gray cloth, and the man barely supported half of his body with his sword, half leaning on a stone and shouting: "This is ...... Where...... How to get to Baihualou? ”

Shen Ying asked: "It's not far from here, look at the big brother, you don't look like a person who can afford to spend money, I don't know what to do there?" ”

"Find ...... Chengjiu wine. ”

Not only was Shen Ying stunned, but Cheng Jiujiu also opened his eyes and looked at this man violently.

"Looking for whom?" Shen Ying thought that she had a problem with her ears and heard it wrong, so she asked again.

"City ...... Nine wines? It seems to be the name. The man muttered, patting his head vigorously with his hand, and then snoring on the ground, as if he had been drunk.

Shen Ying and Chengjiujiu looked at each other, and no one was speechless
