Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fox Fake the Tiger
Xu Huaigu looked forward and saw that the mysterious man from the river was wearing a purple dress, wearing jade around his waist, a silver hairpin on his head, and his long hair was tied up.
It was obviously a man's thin face, but he was smeared with grease and powder, his lips were painted with rouge, and his eyebrows were dotted with luodai, not like a man at all, but dressed like a woman.
The most bizarre thing is a bright red flower on his sideburns, which is extremely bewitching. Really responded to the famous saying in the monk world, the higher the cultivation, the more eccentric the person's temper will be, Xu Huaigu really saw it today.
The man emerged from under the river, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but looked at Xu Huaigu with interest, and the playfulness in his eyes made Xu Huaigu very uncomfortable.
His eyes seemed to say, no matter how you jump, you can't escape from the palm of his hand. Unfortunately, this is also the case.
In front of this mysterious man whose cultivation was unfathomable, Xu Huaigu couldn't give birth to any thoughts of escaping, which would only speed up his death.
The gap between the realms, if there are one realm and two realms, there is still a way to make up for it, but if it is three realms, then there is no way.
The man was the first to speak, and his tone couldn't hear any emotion: "I didn't expect to meet a natural sword fetus in this poor and remote place, it's really unexpected." His voice was very soft, soft and greasy, as if he was talking to him through a thick layer of rouge gouache, and Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart.
Although Xu Huaigu is arrogant, he will also judge the situation. The man's expression was indifferent, obviously he didn't care about the death of the water god just now, he just didn't want the woman to reveal his identity.
And the woman couldn't say his name in the end, so Xu Huaigu didn't have a direct conflict of interest with him, and maybe this disaster could be avoided.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If the woman had said his full name, with the man's character, he would have been killed.
I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and most of the time others have kicked him on this iron plate, and today I finally changed to the master who met this difficult to buy.
It's really feng shui in turn! Xu Huaigu immediately put the sword into the scabbard, bowed his head and bowed to him, and said, "The predecessor praised it." The junior is only a little bit of swordsmanship and kung fu, and he is still far from the senior. The man continued to look at him, as if he was still weighing the pros and cons in his heart, whether to kill the person in front of him.
There are only seven people in the world who are born with a sword fetus, and Su Shu died, but I heard that there is another one on the side of Dongfu Yaozhou, so there are still seven people.
Although it is so rare, with his realm, if you kill it, you will kill it, it is not a big deal. It's just that I'm afraid that the innate sword fetus in front of him has a background, if he is a disciple of Yang Yi, the sword madman in Middle Earth, he will have to take his turn to go around without eating.
As long as he is not a disciple of Yang Yi, it doesn't matter if he is from Longjiazhou or Dongfuyaozhou.
The man continued to ask with a blank face, "Where did you learn from?" Xu Huaigu's eyes turned, and he carefully calculated in his heart.
The man asked so bluntly that he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. If he told the truth, he was naturally afraid that this man would kill him casually, and if he didn't tell the truth, how could he make up a lie to hide from this man who cultivated to terror?
You know, this person must have seen much more than himself, and if he accidentally realizes that he is lying, then he will die without a place to bury.
Xu Huaigu first tried to be as calm as possible, and replied in a confused manner: "Back to my seniors, the master has an order, I must not reveal his name when I am outside the training, otherwise I will be punished if I go back." The man looked directly at Xu Huaigu and said coldly, "Punished? Do you want to be punished, or do you want to die? Hurry up and identify yourself, or I'll kill you right now!" With that, he raised a hand, and suddenly the river rose, forming an enchantment, locking them both in it.
Xu Huaigu was still hesitating and refusing to speak, and the man's expression began to become impatient. Xu Huaigu was actually gambling, this man was so eager to know his identity, he must have been jealous.
If he found out that Xu Huaigu was not the person he feared, then according to the method he had used to kill the water god woman before, he would definitely be unable to escape death.
As long as you don't tell your identity, you may still have a way to live. It depends on whether the man is willing to take that risk.
The man's expression was already impatient to the extreme, and he squinted at him, and the balance of his heart had tilted to one side.
Xu Huaigu, on the other hand, raised his head, straightened his waist, and looked back. The two looked at each other like this, and Xu Huaigu suddenly said, "Are the seniors still weighing whether to kill me?" The man was silent, but the expression on his face made no secret of what he thought in his heart.
Xu Huaigu took a step forward and said quite indignantly: "I respect my seniors' cultivation to be profound, so I respect my seniors." Today's incident is obviously the fault of the water god of the Luhua River, and I feel that there is nothing wrong with upholding justice for the people of Hemen! Maybe I disturbed the plan of the seniors, but the seniors didn't want to kill me, right? The man suddenly sneered and said, "What does the people of Hemen have to do with me?" I'm not interested in justice at all, so don't press me with big truths. I'll count the last five, and if you don't report to the master, I'll kill you. Xu Huaigu also seemed to be angry, and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to count." If you meet me, I am unlucky, and if my skills are not as good as others, I am not good at learning, so you just kill me! The man frowned, put his finger on his cheek, and brushed it lightly, as if contemplating.
After a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "You're bluffing." ”
"What can I bravado? I'm just an ordinary sword cultivator, without any background. Now it's in your hands, and you can kill or chop whatever you want! ”
"Okay, since you are looking for death, then I will satisfy you." The man stretched out a finger and drew a stream of water from the river, slowly approaching him.
This stream of water walked very slowly, but Xu Huaigu didn't dare to dodge, as long as he made any move, the man would immediately kill him by other means.
He is still observing his reaction, Xu Huaigu can't show his stuffing, he has to act to the end. The water was close to his heart, Xu Huaigu did not panic in the slightest, and looked directly at him, without any fear in his eyes.
However, this man's method is also strange, and according to his killing methods, he also relies on this river. And his ability to control the river is obviously above the previous female water god, otherwise it is impossible to use the river water to kill the water god itself, this person is probably not simple, this time it is really unlucky.
The man looked at Xu Huaigu for a while, and didn't seem to come to a conclusion, and finally sighed and said, "I'm impatient, no matter who you are, you have to die today." He wasn't joking.
As soon as he finished speaking, several streams of water came out of the river, binding Xu Huaigu like chains and pulling him to the bottom of the river.
Xu Huaigu struggled with all his might, and the sword intent in his body surged wildly, but no matter what, he couldn't do anything with those few seemingly thin streams of water.
He was helpless, and was pulled down by the current, sinking deeper and deeper, the light on the river gradually faded, and all the scenes in front of him slowly blurred.
The feeling of helplessness struck, and Xu Huaigu was a little discouraged. I've done everything I can, but I can't escape after all, so that's the only way to go.
Anyway, when he decided to stand up and fight the flood alone and save Hemen City, he didn't think about continuing to live.
But now not only did he kill the water god, but he also suppressed the river forever and protected the safety of the Hemen side, which can be regarded as a great merit.
It's just that the feeling of dying is really uncomfortable, he has been through it once before, and he really doesn't want to do it again.
He closed his eyes and waited for his consciousness to dissipate. But suddenly, he felt the current that had held him tightly before disappearing.
He was startled, and waved his arms in the water, realizing that he was already able to move.
He didn't know what was happening, maybe the man had a change of heart. Xu Huaigu immediately summoned the flying sword, grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and desperately made the flying sword fly towards the river.
With a "bang", the flying sword carried him out of the river, and Xu Huaigu hurriedly took a big breath of fresh air.
The air was damp with mist, and he had never felt the air so sweet. It wasn't until he finally recovered a little that he began to re-observe his surroundings.
The man had disappeared before, but in his place, a woman dressed in black stood on the river.
The woman in black wore a black hat to cover her face. Xu Huaigu didn't feel any aura of cultivation on the woman in black, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Xu Huaigu felt, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.
Where did the man go? Who is this mysterious woman in black who suddenly came? Xu Huaigu didn't dare to approach rashly, and only looked at her carefully from a distance.
After a while, the woman in black suddenly said, "Have you seen enough?" The woman didn't speak, and when she spoke, it seemed to evoke the memory in Xu Huaigu's heart.
He was startled, the voice was familiar. The cultivation is so profound, and it is a person I have seen.
One by one, the choice quickly crossed in Xu Huaigu's heart, and he finally seemed to have a guess. This seems to be Bai Xiaoyu's master, the eleventh realm great cultivator who has been famous for a hundred years, the black pupil.
Yes, she was still wearing her trademark black dress. In Xu Huaigu's impression, he only saw her twice, both dressed like this.
This is Xu Huaigu's benefactor. When he was in Zixia Sect, in the face of Cui Ku's dead hand, he still relied on Bai Xiaoyu to find her to solve the siege.
Otherwise, with the situation in the Zixia Sect that day, he would not be able to escape no matter what. Now that she is here again, didn't she save Xu Huaigu's life again?
But Xu Huaigu was still not sure that it was her. One is that he has only met Black Hitomi twice, and both of them are fleeting; The second is that he can't think of any reason for Black Hitomi to come here to save himself.
After all, it was a Great Cultivator of the Eleventh Realm, and even if he was born with a sword fetus, he couldn't get into her eyes.
As if to dispel Xu Huaigu's doubts, the woman in black raised her head, lifted the veil on the hat, and opened her eyes to look at him.
Xu Huaigu immediately saw that her eyes were pitch black, as if there was a vast void hidden.
Yes, that's her! In addition to black pupils, who else in this world has such strange eyes? But why is she here?
Xu Huaigu was puzzled.
