Chapter 1 A Thousand Miles of Escape

Next Chapter

It's winter.

In the hazy water town of Jiangnan in spring, it is also snowing heavily and the wind is cold. The goose-feather snow fell on the rooftops and treetops, covering everything in the world with a layer of silver. Snow-capped, endless, jagged mountains and rivers are scattered vertically and horizontally, it is really beautiful.

The weather is bitterly cold, and all living beings are hiding in their houses, surrounding the carbon fire, to resist the winter. In addition to some coachmen and traders who are still running for a living, even the wounded beggars who used to cry and pray on the streets are gone.

Under such a lonely sky, the mansion of the Jiangnan swordsman Xiao Jiannan was full of people, and the sound of scolding and asking for guilt was endless, so that the snowflakes on the big trees in the courtyard fell one after another.

Xiao Jiannan was holding a six- or seven-year-old child in his right hand, and a long sword in his left hand, the tip of which was dripping blood. Blood fell from the tip of the sword into the snow, staining a shocking red within a few feet in front of him.

Looking at the martial arts people of various factions who were still scolding endlessly in front of him, Xiao Jiannan suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, the howling was terrible and impermanent, and he didn't know how many grievances and resentment were mixed with!

A month ago, he took his servants to hunt in the mountains, strayed into an ancient tomb, and obtained a sword book called Ling Tian Sword Technique.

He was originally a martial arts practitioner, and after reading a few pages, he noticed that the sword moves were strange and mysterious, and they were exquisite. Overjoyed, he brought the sword book out of the tomb.

He thought that he had suddenly had an adventure, and his heart was full of joy. But I don't want to have strange things happen to the house since that day.

First, his mentor died suddenly in the secluded Bibo Tan, and then his father and brother died at home.

These people are all knights who have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and for a while, the news spread, and various sects and factions flocked to it.

After examining the wounds, these people actually identified him as the murderer of the master, father and brother as if they had discussed it in advance!

How could Xiao Jiannan, who was his son's apprentice, not care about the death of his relatives? Before the martial arts people arrived, he had carefully looked at the wounds on the corpse, and the person who attacked him was indeed the same as himself, making it a left-handed swordsmanship.

But how could he not know that he had never done such a hurtful and unreasonable thing?

But under the disagreement, it is actually difficult to reconcile. Even if he is innocent, how can he withstand the mouths of everyone?

After several arguments, these so-called famous and decent knights, seeing that he refused to admit that in order to enjoy the secret book for himself, he killed his father and brother, deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, and they could no longer hold back, and they showed their robber-like faces and drew their swords against each other!

Xiao Jiannan has a strong personality, how can he be willing to submit? These people are so ashamed and angry that they are so frenzied that they are entangled together and kill almost everyone in the Xiao Mansion in one go!

Only his only son, Xiao Jinyan, who is less than seven years old, remains.

After the whistle ended, a man with a long knife stood up in the crowd and shouted, "Xiao Jiannan! You are in vain to claim to be chivalrous, but in order to obtain a secret book alone, you do not hesitate to do such a thing that people and gods are angry about! Now that I am waiting to find out about your crime, why don't you hand over the secret book and be arrested!"

The tone is really righteous and awe-inspiring, and the righteousness is strict.

Xiao Jiannan smiled slightly bitterly, knowing that since this hat had been worn on his head, no matter how he argued, it would be useless.

After witnessing these men kill all his helpless wives and servants, he did not want to give any more explanation.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

He himself had thought hard about it, until later, when the sword book was suddenly lost, and he thought that it must have been the matter of obtaining the sword book that day, and it was passed on by the servants of his entourage. These people coveted it and came up with this trick to frame themselves!

The man with the long knife saw that he only smiled bitterly, but did not answer, he was furious in his heart, and waved his hand to the crowd and shouted, "Kill him, and then search carefully!"

Everyone heard the call, danced with swords and swords, and rushed up!

Xiao Jiannan pulled his son behind him, slashed horizontally and vertically with the long sword in his hand, and killed more than ten people at once!

Unbeknownst to him, the sword came like a storm, killing several more people in an instant. But he was also stabbed in the leg by a spear, and he was unsteady on his feet and fell to one knee. The long sword in his hand was still dancing wildly, like madness.

When everyone saw that he looked like crazy, they were all stunned, withdrew a few steps, and surrounded him.

The man with the long knife pointed at him and shouted, "Hand over the cheats and give you a good time!"

Xiao Jiannan just smiled bitterly, with words of suffering in his heart.

That day, I got the cheats, and I was greedy for the subtlety of sword moves, so I took it back and studied it day and night. After watching it for two days and two nights, I finally fell asleep, locked the cheats in the iron box in the room, and slept with my clothes.

The next day, just after the chicken crows, I got up and wanted to continue studying, but after opening the iron box, where is the cheat?

I hurriedly asked the servant who knew about that day, only to hear that one of them suddenly disappeared, thinking that it must have been stolen by the servant.

Although I don't understand how the servant with mediocre martial arts quietly opened the iron box and stole the cheats in his room. But after all, the cheats have been lost, and it is useless to think about it.

He was open-minded, thinking that the secret book was not his own thing, not to mention that the servant stole the secret book, he would definitely fly away, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to find it again.

At the moment, I only secretly listened for a few days, and there was no news, so I gave up.

I thought it was just a joke played by God on me, but I didn't expect to usher in this monstrous disaster!

Looking at his wife who had already died in front of him, and looking at the children who had not yet grown up, Xiao Jiannan felt hatred and bitterness in his heart, and only hoped that he would kill all the enemies in front of him, even if he died with him, the bloodline of the Xiao family could still be continued.

The long sword danced wildly for a while, and gradually lost its strength, unable to hold it, and flew out of its hands.

I know that no matter what I do today, I will not be spared. If the husband dies, how terrible can it be?

But after his death, his only beloved son is also bound to be poisoned, Rao is strong and resolute, he does not want to show his weak color in front of the enemy, but the tears in his eyes are uncontrollable, gushing out.

Xiao Jinyan saw his father crying, stretched out his little hand to wipe away his tears, and comforted, "Daddy doesn't cry, I'll die with you!"

Xiao Jiannan looked at his immature face, and between his eyebrows, according to the rare description of himself and his deceased wife, he had a strength out of nowhere, and suddenly stood up.

It's just that after all, the weapon has been lost, and there are many brave people in the crowd, and with a pain in their bodies, a long sword pierced into their chests.

This blow was already fatal, he staggered a few steps, tripped over each other, fell in the snow, and never woke up.

Xiao Jinyan threw himself on him, crying and shaking bitterly, but where could he be called?

The man with the long knife in his hand saw that Xiao Jiannan was dead, and he had no scruples, so he boldly walked forward, and was about to pick up Xiao Jinyan, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then lost consciousness.

I saw a person suddenly rushing into the roof, his white clothes fluttering, and his body was like electricity. Before everyone could react, a sword hacked the man with a long knife to death, picked up Xiao Jinyan, jumped with a leap, and jumped out of the wall several feet high!

This time the rabbit rises and falls, only in a moment!

The crowd was suddenly in chaos, and they all shouted and chased out, and chased them outside the house, only to see a blank of snow all around, where are there still people?

。。。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。

。。。。。。。。。

Zhang Yueqing went all the way north, and it has been more than half a year.

On Xiao Jiannan's Mansion that day, he was the one who suddenly appeared to rescue Xiao Jinyan.

In the past, when he first came out of the mountain, he was still a hairy boy under the age of twenty. His master, although he taught him martial arts, is also a childlike old naughty boy.

Otherwise, how could there be a nickname for an old man with a thousand changes?

With such a cynical master, coupled with his own shallow experience, and he doesn't understand the flattery in the rivers and lakes, although he has a good martial arts, he is soft-hearted and soft-hearted, and he can't do things to take by force.

The young chivalrous man is arrogant again, not to mention pretending to be miserable and learning to beg for food on the street, even showing off his martial arts, watching the crowd for fun, and making some money feel ashamed.

It is very different from the sassy and heroic posture of the man who walked the world with a sword and rode a white horse against the wind.

So this ambitious young man, before he waited for his ambition to be rewarded, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

Fortunately, before I almost fainted from hunger, I met the kind and charitable Xiao Jiannan Xiao Daxia.

Xiao Jiannan saw that he was dignified, and he was wearing a long sword on his waist. Just when he was a down-and-out martial arts warrior, he took him to his mansion and entertained him with good wine and food every day.

At first, Zhang Shaoxia was still a little prevaricated, full of gentlemen who did not eat the food they came, and did not dare to accept the words of tigers and wolves such as deer.

Wait until Xiao Jiannan corrected him with a smile, not rubbing, the deer is different from Lu, what kind of literati and inkman, the Jin people's style and bones broke the defense in an instant.

In addition, his stomach is also greedy for enjoyment, and he doesn't want to suffer with him, so he only keeps screaming. Finally, he put down his son and gobbled it up.

As the saying goes, once born, twice cooked, after eating this time, there will not be so much pretension in the future. In this way, he ate and drank in Xiao Mansion for more than ten days.

As the saying goes, Zhang Shaoxia is still young and has never tried the taste of a woman, just to think about it, and there is no reference in his heart.

But the chivalrous man in his breast, the pride of not receiving favors in vain arises again. Seeing that Xiao Jiannan liked to go up to the mountains to hunt, he asked to go with him, thinking of hunting some prey and supporting himself.

This time, he showed a good martial arts.

Xiao Jiannan saw that he was young and heroic, although he was a little pedantic and stubborn, but he was very kind in his heart. Now I know that although he is young, his martial arts are still above him.

I often chatted with him about interesting things and talked about martial arts. Over time, the two fell in love and became brothers in life and death.

When I listen to him again, I always want to quote scriptures and bring some elegance, but there is not much ink in my stomach. He read and read and wrote, so that he could get what he wanted in the future and become a merry knight.

Zhang Yueqing is gifted and intelligent, he understands the meaning after a short time, and has a good memory, and the books he has read can often be forgotten.

After a year like this, Zhang Shaoxia, who was forcibly vassalized and elegant in the past, really became an elegant person. In addition, Xiao Jiannan introduced and praised him among his friends in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are also very high. In just a few years, he has gained some fame in Jiangnan.

As the so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, people in the martial arts attach great importance to fame and prestige, and in the face of such a boy who was born out of nowhere, naturally many people are not convinced and have come to challenge.

With a good martial arts, Zhang Shaoxia defeated many martial arts masters in a row for a few months. became famous for a while, and was even praised by those who admired him as the first swordsman in Jiangnan.

Zhang Shaoxia turned over, and after all, he couldn't always rely on others, so he bought his own house, and practiced writing and making swords every day, so unhappy.

It's just that recently, I suddenly heard that Xiao Jiannan had suffered an accident and was surrounded by his house, he had a deep affection, and Xiao Jian was also a teacher and friend to him. When he heard the news, he immediately hurried to the Xiao Mansion, but he was a step too late.

Since Xiao Jiannan was dead, he had to save his orphan no matter what, so he risked his life to save Xiao Jinyan from the crowd.

But he was immediately chased and killed by Jiangnan Wulin, and he traveled all the way north.

From the misty and rainy Jiangnan, to the desert with yellow sand. Along the way, I slept in the open air, and I had to always beware of the pursuit and killing of various sects. Rao is strong-willed, a martial arts body that is rare in the world, and he has also suffered a lot of injuries on his body.

The wind was blowing, and snow was already falling in the north. The yellow sand mixed with snowflakes flying in the wind, accompanied by the goshawk circling in the sky, Zhang Yueqing closed his eyes, and suddenly had a kind of non-personnel trance.

More than half a year ago, he was a well-known young swordsman in Jiangnan and a talented man in white. Not only is his martial arts outstanding, but he is also extraordinary, but he is also upright and jealous. Although he is young, he is also well-known.

However, this sudden change made him stand on the opposite side of the entire martial arts overnight.

Zhang Yueqing smiled bitterly, looked at the immature face of the boy in his arms, and suddenly gave birth to endless strength.

Along the way, open guns, hidden arrows, and martial arts masters chased and intercepted, and he took this child who was less than seven years old and fled in a hurry like walking on thin ice.

In a critical situation, it is inevitable that he often eats raw meat, drinks sewage, and escapes in the shadow of swords and swords. Poor mountains and bad waters, desperate and rushing, this strong child, but rarely cried once.

There is really the legacy of Brother Xiao!

Looking at the familiar outline on Xiao Jinyan's face, who had been sleeping all day, he smiled with satisfaction, found a small inn nearby, asked for a guest room, put Xiao Jinyan on the bed, and was about to go out to fetch water to wash him.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, coming from a distance. The horse walked very fast, and in a moment it was already at the door of the inn.

Zhang Yueqing stood behind the door, held his breath, and listened carefully, and heard that there were seven people, all of whom had jumped off the horse and walked towards the inn.

All of them have steady and powerful steps, deep breathing, and are obviously practitioners with art.

Hearing another person shouting, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a smile, "How many uncles, do you want to stay in the store?"

A rough voice said, "Hurry up with good wine and meat, and the horses are all fed to the masters." ”

Xiao Er said yes, led a few people into the store and sat down, and called the groom to lead the horse to feed, put the cloth towel on his shoulder, bent down and smiled, "A few guest officers, although the small shop is small, it is also full of organs, there is a lot of game in the mountains, what do the guest officers want to eat?"

A voice said, "I often hear that in the small shops in the mountains, there are many chefs with good skills, and the roasted mutton tastes very beautiful, so let the masters come up and taste it." ”

Xiao Er said with a smile, "Guest officer, it takes a lot of time for this freshly roasted whole sheep, I wonder if the guest officers are in a hurry?"

I only heard a snap, but one person slapped the table and got up, and said angrily, "Grandma, Lao Tzu has been tired of a few horses in the past few days, and in this broken place, the sand has to be eaten by the damn man, and finally I met a human talker, and I want to ask Lao Tzu to eat the rest of your things!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly flashed, his eyes rolled, and then he made a panicked appearance, his lips couldn't help shaking, as if he was frightened.

An older man next to him waved his hand, motioned for the angry man to sit down, and said gently, "Old Seven, don't be reckless, you have to suffer less along the way?" ”

smiled at Xiao Er and said, "Just as you said, hurry up and bring the meat, we are all hungry, and the sooner the better." A few more jars of wine, well, pick the best, don't fool us with water!"

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, peeked at the man who was angry at him, showed a touch of malice on his face, and in an instant, he ran to the back kitchen to arrange food.

The angry man saw him go away, and he was no longer angry, picked up a pair of chopsticks in his hand, kept beating on the table, and his mouth was not idle, and said, "Big brother, you said that the kid from Jiangnan is really powerful, along the way, the corpses we saw should have all died under his hands, right? ”

He said, "At first, I heard that he was the number one swordsman in Jiangnan, but I didn't believe it, but now it seems that most of him is a difficult master to deal with, how many of us say, if we really meet him, can we beat him?"

The guest room that Zhang Yueqing asked for was not far from the place to eat. Coupled with his excellent ear, this man's words were heard clearly.

I thought to myself, "The "kid" that this man said must be me." As the so-called comers are not good, it is estimated that the people who chased and killed me were all the same as the raccoon dogs! These seven people are not weak in martial arts, and when they find out that I am here, it will inevitably be another vicious battle. Even if I kill them all, my whereabouts will inevitably be exposed again, so it's better to avoid them!"

At that moment, he slowly moved to the side of the bed, put the burden on his back, gently picked up the sleeping Xiao Jinyan, paced by the window, and immediately broke the window after being discovered.

He is not a person to kill, although he has killed a lot of martial arts people these days, but it has reached the point where he has to face each other with swords. If he can get along, he doesn't want to kill in vain.

I heard another person sigh softly, but it was a woman's voice. "This person is also a romantic person, but for the sake of a martial arts scum, he is willing to be the enemy of the world's martial arts, which is also embarrassing. ”

Another said, "It's not a good thing to help such a thief who has lost his conscience!

One of them continued, "Yes! The so-called Tao is not the same, that is to say, those who conspire with each other are grasshoppers on the same rope!"

The woman smirked and said, "I said, third brother, where did you learn these words, I've never heard them before." ”

This is called the third brother seems to be very proud, and said, "I created it myself, how about it?

One person scolded, "Bah, third brother, you said that you don't have any ink in your stomach, and you have to learn to chew words, isn't this like... Like... After a pause, he added, "It's like the seventh child wearing the clothes of a little lady, it's nondescript!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice. Then the man gritted his teeth and scolded as if he was in great pain, "Old Seven, you don't fucking talk about martial arts, you are a dead hand?"

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Xiao Er has already brought up a roasted fat sheep, in this yellow sand desert, although there is an oasis, it is not easy to grow wheat sorghum. The locals live as nomads and feed on cattle and sheep.

After a long time, I have also practiced the technique of cooking beef and sheep at home, and the mutton has just come up, and the aroma is fragrant and mouth-watering.

In addition, a few people have been on the road for so long, and their stomachs have long been empty. Being in the martial arts, there is not so much red tape. At the moment, they all feasted, and several people applauded continuously, and at this time, Xiao Er brought up a few jars of old wine. The crowd gathered around the fire, eating mutton and drinking strong wine, but they were extremely happy.

The people ate without saying a word, and they were no longer so hungry. Then he heard the gentle voice and said, "This Zhang Yueqing has lost his reputation as a chivalrous man, there is no distinction between good and evil, he has killed so many people, and he has done so much evil, and he is not under Xiao Jiannan! If we can kill the blue wolf in Mobei, it will also be a great harm to the rivers and lakes!"

The old seven said, "Big brother is right, this person is very bad, we have always been with these thieves, and we will inevitably break his body into ten thousand pieces!

Among the seven, he was the youngest, although he had a long head of wind and sand, a beard, and a rough appearance. But when you look closely, you are about twenty years old at most.

Young people are weaker in martial arts, and less courageous. Thinking that so many people died under the sword of the "evil thief", I couldn't help but feel a little jealous in my heart.

The old man saw it in his eyes and whispered to him, "Don't worry, that "evil thief" has been running for a long time, on the one hand, he must be tired, and there must be injuries on his body, plus he is a Jiangnan person, so it is not so easy to adapt to this desert environment. We have a lot of people, and we are waiting for work, so we are not completely without a chance of winning. ”

After taking a sip of wine, he said, "Even if we can't defeat him, on our own territory, we have to leave, can he still stop him?"

When the seventh brother heard him say this, he was much more courageous, slapped the wine bowl on the table, and shouted, "Big brother is right, what are you afraid of, just do that bird!"

The woman listened to it funny, pursed her lips and smiled, "Seventh brother, don't get excited, I think about it, although this person is vicious, he is also a little righteous, it is said that he rescued Xiao Jiannan's only son, and has been sacrificing his life to protect each other, speaking of which, it can be regarded as a bit of a merit." ”

One person said, "Sixth sister, you are so good-hearted! I think everyone is as kind as you! It is rumored that Xiao Jiannan killed his father and brother, and deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, in order to only get that unique martial arts secret book!"

"After Xiao Jiannan's death, the group of wastes in Jiangnan rummaged through the Xiao family's house, but they couldn't find it, this Zhang Yueqing rescued this child because it was just that secret book!"

The woman said, "Even if it's for cheats, you don't need to take the children of the Xiao family with you after you get it." ”

The old avenue, "This matter is a bit of a place for discussion, but for the sake of the tiger, there is always nothing to say about indiscriminately killing innocents, we finish this meal, hurry up to catch up with him, right and wrong, always have to find out!"

Zhang Yueqing was slightly surprised when he heard this, he still refused to believe that his brother, who had been friends with him for many years, would kill his master and brother for a book of martial arts secrets!

When he got the news and rushed to Xiao's house, Xiao Jiannan was already dead, and he only had time to rescue Xiao Jinyan at the risk of death.

The people who chased and killed him all the way said that it was for the righteous path of martial arts and to eliminate evil, but it was better to suspect that he had obtained the secret book and wanted to take it for himself. But listening to the words of these people, it seems that they are so simple that they cannot tolerate evil, and they have nothing to do with this secret book.

After thinking about it, he shook his head again, there are really not a few people in this martial arts who are sanctimonious. He fled with Xiao Jinyan for more than half a year, and faced many vicious plots, these self-proclaimed chivalrous people were eager to kill a weak child.

Xiao Jiannan's wife and family were also ruthlessly killed. He talks about justice, but he does things that defeat morality.

To believe in the right and wrong of these people is to be extremely ignorant!

Although there are no outsiders here, these people don't know that they are here, and they don't seem to need to make up lies. But who can guarantee that they are not each pregnant with ghosts and acting on the spot?

He is no longer the boy who has just come out of the rivers and lakes and needs to grow up with the help of Xiao Jiannan. Everything he has encountered in the past six months or so has made him deeply disappointed in the so-called justice and chivalry.

Suddenly, a person muttered, and his voice was extremely soft. But his ear power was extraordinary, and he still heard it clearly, but it was the old seven who snorted softly, "Big brother, why am I suddenly a little dizzy. ”

Another person said, "You're dizzy too, aren't you drinking very well, I thought I was just a little confused after a few more drinks alone." ”

The woman said, "Me too, I can't lift the breath of my dantian!"

The boss slapped the table and stood up, but his voice was out of breath, "It's not good!

Zhang Yueqing was startled, lowered his body, and looked through the crack in the door, only to see that the seven people were staggering for a moment, holding on to the table and trying to fall, and they all fell to the ground after holding on for less than a moment.

As soon as these people fell, an old man with a white beard walked out of the back hall, followed by two middle-aged men.

Zhang Yueqing recognized one of them as the second child of this store. The other person must be the horseman who led the horse.

The white-haired old man smiled and scolded, "A few stupid pigs can eat it, and they have ruined a lot of my wine and meat! My ecstasy incense is colorless and tasteless, but when added to the wine, it adds to the flavor of wine, and it is really cheap for these few, and I made a full ghost before I died." ”

Seeing that Xiao Er gently pulled the corner of the old man's clothes, he pointed to his room with his finger, and said in a low voice, "What about that?"

The old man snorted and said, "It's just that, and with a child, why bother, you two just go in and cook!"
