Chapter 6: Sword Sect
"How's my aunt?!"
"Called an ambulance, it is not life-threatening, rest assured. "White Bird Ling drove the motorcycle very strongly, biting the man in black tightly, shuttling back and forth in the busy traffic at night.
They were driving at high speeds, and they were constantly changing lanes, all the way with the sound of angry horns.
The two motorcycles chased one after the other, and soon drove along the coastline into the Xishan District.
This route is very familiar, and it is the road that I took when I went to Tranquility's house during the day, but after entering the mountains and forests, I couldn't find the direction, and I only knew that they were near Xiaoqi Mountain.
It was Xiao riding the mountain again, and Bai Maxiao felt that the man in black seemed to have deliberately brought them here, but it was also possible that it was just to get rid of them in the mountains and forests.
I don't know how long they chased, the car lights in front of them suddenly disappeared, and the two didn't have time to be surprised, and then their motorcycles flew directly down a cliff, and the motorcycle in front had fallen to the bottom of the cliff, no wonder the car lights disappeared suddenly.
In mid-air, Bai Bird Ling reacted very quickly and picked up Bai Maxiao and flipped out of the car, and took out a spell seal, "Wind Spell Seal, knot!"
A small whirlwind supported the two of them, but the height was not high, and the whirlwind had just reduced its falling speed a little, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground.
Not far away, there was the sound of violent collision of motorcycles, both motorcycles fell apart, and the man in black was long gone in the dark night.
This fall was not light, and Shiratori Ling helped him up, and the two limped two steps, as if they didn't hurt their bones.
"Where is this......" Hakumashi looked around, there was a cliff behind him, and a forest in front of him, and he had completely lost his direction.
"There's a light ahead, so let's go and rest for a while. With that, she helped Hakuma Shino to the woods ahead.
There are indeed some faint lights in the woods, I don't know if it is a camp or a forest hut, now this situation must find a place with light to settle down as soon as possible, no one knows if there are any wild beasts in this woods, or whether the man in black will take advantage of the night to sneak attack.
"It's really unlucky, it's dangerous to go anywhere, and you'll encounter this when you go home!" Bai Maxiao said scoldingly.
"Your uncle's letter must have been snatched by him. Looks like someone doesn't want you to look it up. β
Things never go well, and that's something Hakumano is used to.
It's just that I didn't expect that this time it would actually affect my aunt, these people are too deceitful.
He doesn't believe that the other party is a mortal thief, he must be a spirit, either a person from the Snake God Sect or those black school uniforms, who do it to mortals, these people really have no bottom line.
As the light drew closer, a small cabin appeared in front of them.
This wooden house is not big, it looks like it is only about ten square meters, and the structure is very simple, but it is very strong, and it is not difficult to see the traces of repair.
The door was unlocked, so they pushed it open and entered. Inside the room there is a table made of tree stumps, surrounded by two small wooden stakes that serve as stools. In the corner is a bed made of a cross-cut half of a large tree trunk, which looks very primitive, I don't know who made it, the workmanship is very rough, and it feels like a secret hut built casually.
Shiratori Ling helped him to the bed, examined it carefully, and found that the bones were fine, just rest.
The light in this room came from a ball of light floating on the beams of the room, very strange, like a light bulb, but floating, looking like some kind of psychic magic.
"It seems that the people who built this house are not mortals. I don't know if it will be the man in black. β
"Don't worry, if that guy's house is really good, at least we found that guy's lair." β
"Probably just one of the three holes of the cunning rabbit. Shiratori Ling sighed, "I didn't expect it to affect you." β
"It has nothing to do with you, it's what I want to investigate, and if I want to say that it's involved, then I'm also the one who has affected the two of you. At least the content of my uncle's letter is very important, and I will have to ask my aunt when she wakes up. Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly widened, "So, will my aunt be in danger?!"
"Probably not. With that man's skills, it is obvious that he deliberately spared your aunt's life, otherwise she would definitely die. If you want to kill her, why bother? β
Bai Maxiao was relieved, but at the same time, it meant that the content of the letter might not be important, otherwise it would definitely kill someone.
So why the hell did that man snatch that letter......
"Maybe it's because that man is also looking for Hakumataki. The soul couple analyzed.
Bai Ma Xiao relayed the words of the soul couple, and Shiratori Ling nodded, "Very likely." This shows that the letter is not the point, and the letter may have hinted at the whereabouts of Hakubataki, and finding Hakubataki is the key. β
"Then we have to be one step ahead of him! No matter who he is, he will definitely not be good!"
While it's not certain whether Hakubataki is still alive, it's certainly a key point.
"Shh......h Someone's coming. Shiratori Ling made a silent gesture and quietly moved to the door, listening to the movement outside the house.
The man outside the door seemed to notice that there was someone in the house, and the footsteps stopped not far away, and he heard the man say aloud, "It's the seventh day of the first lunar month, Longquan Ten Thousand Swords Return!
This sounded for no reason, but the voice was very familiar, and Bai Ma Xiao shouted with a smile, "Xingang Bai Ma Xiao, Dongzhou Bai Niao Ling, my husband and wife bow to you! Your Excellency, please show up quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and when he saw that it was indeed these two people, Nie Jianfeng said in surprise, "How did you find here? Is something happening to Xiao Jing?!"
"Your Xiaojing is fine, we have something. Bai Maxiao pointed to one leg that was slumped on the bed and said with a wry smile.
"What are you doing...... What's wrong?"
Bai Bird Ling breathed a long sigh of relief, put the dagger back into his arm, and sat opposite Nie Jianfeng in front of the stump, roughly talking about what happened tonight, and Bai Maxiao's life experience naturally jumped over.
Nie Jianfeng was also very shocked after hearing this, he didn't expect that they would encounter this kind of thing as soon as they returned to Xingang, that person was bold enough, he actually broke into a house and robbed it, and injured mortals.
"You can't find that person right now, so it's better to rest here for a while, and we'll go back to Xiaojing later. β
"That's it. Bai Maxiao said helplessly, and then asked curiously, "This house is yours, what are you doing here at night? Also, what do you mean by shouting outside?"
Expecting that he would have so many questions, Nie Jianfeng replied, "Once every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month, there will be a 'Sword Immortal Miracle' here in Longquan, which has attracted many swordsmen to observe and follow the Sword Immortal to learn supreme swordsmanship. β
Nangong Sword Sect This name Bai Ma Xiao has heard, it is Nie Jianfeng and Fu Jiansheng, as well as the swordsmanship of Jianyin, which is an ancient school of swordsmanship, but listen to what he means, their school actually learned from the "Sword Immortal"?
"This sword immortal...... What is it...... Are the gods descending to earth?"
Nie Jianfeng smiled, as if he didn't know how to explain to him, "If you are interested, you can go with me later." β
"Okay!" Bai Maxiao was very curious, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain tonight. Anyway, relying on him and Bai Bird Ling, the two of them will definitely not be able to get out of this wood, so they can only follow Nie Jianfeng back, instead of waiting for him here, it is better to go and see together.
Nie Jianfeng looked at his watch, "There is still some time." I'll tell you first, no matter what you see at that time, please don't talk nonsense, this is disrespectful to the Sword Immortal. β
Bai Ma Xiao nodded knowingly, although he was a fool, he still had a sense of proportion, and he definitely didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the immortals, "By the way, this sword immortal appears once a year?"
"That's not it, it will appear on the night of the seventh day of the first month, and then it will last until the seventh day of the next month, which we call 'Double Seven Linfan'. β
"Isn't it over on the seventh day of the second month of next month?"
"The lunar calendar has leap months. If there is a leap month, the Sword Immortal will not stay for another month. β
Bai Ma Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "It's equivalent to saying that you Sword Sect ...... You can learn swordsmanship for a month a year?"
Nie Jianfeng smiled, "Nangong Sword Sect, the swordsmanship is exquisite, the swordsmanship taught in this month, you may not be able to figure it out in the remaining eleven months." β
Bai Ma Xiao muttered in a low voice, "Nonsense, if you can teach it all the time, what else can't you think about......
Nie Jianfeng didn't notice his mouth, and he looked sad, "But...... In recent decades, the sect has withered, and fewer and fewer people have come to watch. In the past, the swordsmanship of the sword fairy was called 'spirit sword', but later the sword immortals, there were fewer and fewer people who taught the spirit sword, and later there was a fault, and the sword sect was also divided into the spirit sword gate and the iron sword gate, and now the spirit sword gate has been completely lost, and the remaining iron sword gate has gradually withered, and today there is only one left. β
These sounded particularly miserable, and Shiratori Ling couldn't help but say, "No wonder your tone was so excited when you said that sentence at the door just now. β
"Yes...... Nie Jianfeng sighed and said, "I thought there would be a fellow doorman, but I didn't expect that I was the only one." β
Bai Bird Ling thought for a while and said, "I've heard it say that you studied the Spirit Sword Gate, but you said that the Spirit Sword Gate has long been lost?"
"Yes, the last few generations of sword immortals have not taught the Spirit Sword Sect, and my Spirit Sword Technique was learned from Teacher Fu. β
"How many generations?" Bai Maxiao said strangely, "The Sword Immortal also has a heritage?"
"Of course, as time goes by, the sword immortal will also get old, and at some point, the old sword immortal will no longer appear, and the new young sword immortal will follow the mortal again. Today's sword immortal is already the seventh generation. β
"It turns out that it's not a fairy......" Bai Maxiao was a little disappointed, thinking that he could really see a fairy.
Nie Jianfeng smiled mysteriously, "When you see that sword immortal, you will definitely feel that she deserves this name." β
What else can it be, fairy wind bones, fairy spirit fluttering? Bai Maxiao was a little unconvinced.
When Nie Jianfeng talked about this sword immortal today, his expression was actually more attachment than respect, not like his attitude towards the master, Bai Bird Ling asked strangely, "You said that your swordsmanship was taught by that teacher Fu?
"Sort of...... My enlightenment teacher. It's also my savior......" Nie Jianfeng's tone suddenly became very gentle, so gentle that Bai Maxiao couldn't believe his ears.
This ...... I haven't been so gentle when I sprinkled dog food with Tranquility!
Ignoring Bai Maxiao's exaggerated expression, Nie Jianfeng continued, "When I was very young, I lived in an orphanage, and I was very withdrawn at that time, and no children were willing to pay attention to me. One year, during the Chinese New Year, I finally couldn't stand the indifferent Spring Festival, escaped from the orphanage, and came to Longquan. It happened to be the seventh day of the first lunar month, and here, I met the Sword Immortal. β
"She taught you to be strong?" said Hakuba Shino, interjecting.
"She's the same age as me. It's just eight or nine years old. I was going to end my life, but since I met her, I gave up. After a month, she didn't show up again, so I set up this wooden house and waited for her every day by the Longquan until the seventh day of the first month of the following year. β
I didn't expect such a cold person to have such a romantic childhood, and he actually became a childhood sweetheart with a little sword fairy, "You have been staying here since then?"
"I've been here for five years and learned swordsmanship for five years. When I was fourteen years old, I met Mr. Fu at Longquan, and he adopted me until I was later taken to Phoenix University. β
Bai Maxiao nodded thoughtfully, "Then you will come here every year at this time in the future?"
"That's right. Not a year has fallen. That Longquan Sword Immortal...... It was my master and my first friend. β
After listening to him talk about what happened when he was a child, Bai Maxiao yearned for that sword fairy even more, and wanted to see what kind of immortal character he was.
As if seeing such anticipation in his eyes, Nie Jianfeng looked at his watch again, "Almost, I'll take you to meet herβyou should be familiar with her." β
