sixtieth
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."
"I want to see the strongest sword in the world again before I die."
"Goodbye? Have you seen this before? ”
"I did see it once." Dugu Sword Saint closed his eyes again, as if he was savoring a delicacy: "It should have been ten years, as if it was just yesterday, that person, that kind of sword." ”
"Where's that guy 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, who are known as the Sword Master, use this kind of ordinary sword?" ”
"Aren't you the same? Do you have a name for your whip? ”
"Nope."
"Whether it's a sword or a whip, after all, it's just a weapon of murder, not a creature of flesh and blood, so why name them?" Dugu Ruoxiong laughed.
"Being able to say such things, the name of the Sword Saint is not false." Cheng Jiujiu stroked the long sword in his hand, the blades of this sword were rusty, it was more like a scrap iron than ordinary, Cheng Jiujiu asked, "In your opinion, what kind of sword is the strongest sword?" ”
"I can't tell."
"Didn't you see it once? How can you not say it? ”
"That kind of sword can't be described in words, 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 Li Xiaocao's shout, and Cheng Jiujiu came back to his senses and looked at the man 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 the identity of the patron, but she couldn't figure out why that person 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'll 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 Juggernaut 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 Xiaocalyp's footsteps were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the hillside, 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 mourning is smooth, I have 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 towards him that day, Chengjiu Wine joked.
"I heard that little brother just say ......"
"You want to fight Jojiu, and I want revenge, how about we make a deal?" Chengjiujiu said to Li Xiaocao: "Give me a year, after a year, I will take you to find 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 were over, staring at Cheng Jiujiu, Cheng Jiujiu was not afraid of his eyes and continued: "You can also refuse, I believe that it is only a matter of time before you find her according to the information of your patron, but you can only find a Cheng Jiujiu who has no intention of fighting, and it makes no sense for you to fight with an empty shell." ”
Li Xiaoyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Pear blossom is indeed pear blossom, my eyes will not deceive me." ”
"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 cute, life not only has so many joys and sorrows, but also encounters many unknown coincidences, he raised his head and laughed:
"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, her eyes seemed to be covered with a veil of gray, but who could know what was going on in her heart?
"I have a question to know, is Dugu Ruoxiong really killed by Chengjiu wine?"
"Yes, but it's not."
"How?"
"Before he died, he saw with his own eyes what he had been pursuing all his life, and he lost his interest, and Chengjiu Wine just pushed it."
"The only thing that can make him lose his interest is the sword that he is most proud of." Li Xiaocao asked, "That patron didn't say that Chengjiu Wine would make a sword. ”
"No matter how exquisite the swordsmanship in the world is, it is nothing more than stabbing and chopping those few styles, and if you practice it, you will be a master, but there are still many people who don't understand this truth."
Li Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "I'm more curious about this Chengjiu Wine now, why she has such a high attainment in martial arts at such a young age." ”
Chengjiujiu said: "Some people are born with extraordinary talents, or have an eight-sided exquisite heart, are good at scheming, or are good at dancing knives and sticks to become a generation of grandmasters, Chengjiujiu is such a person." ”
Li Xiaohua said: "People like her tend to fall into two extremes, if they are used for the right path, they will benefit the world, and if they are demonized, they will harm the world. ”
"Whether she's evil or evil has nothing to do with you and me this year, does it?" Cheng Jiujiu smiled and said, "Even your patron is probably not easy to explain, because he will have 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 when she saw that Cheng Jiujiu was still squatting in front of him and looking at him with a strange look, her heart tightened again, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
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
