Chapter 17: Sword Training (7)
Fang Zimo left the bed, glanced at Zhang Qingzi, who was still asleep, and smiled slightly.
He went out and borrowed the water from the stream on the edge of the Five Peaks View to clear his face.
Then, he raised his head and said hello to the Chang'an Sword King who came out of the view.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Xie Ding, the sword king of Chang'an, carried a sword, and also came to his side, scooped a handful of water, and washed his face.
"It's a pity that the rules of the rivers and lakes don't break into the Taoist temple at night, otherwise if you sneak attack you last night, the odds are quite good. β
Fang Zimo said with a smile: "So you can only stay in Guanzhong for one night, I just expected that you would not dare to break the rules of the rivers and lakes." β
Xie Ding nodded calmly, admitted it calmly, and said, "Why should I go against the Daomen of the whole world for Wei Xian's deed?"
"But are you waiting for Xu Qing and Xia Yunxian?"
"The two of them were tripped up in Shangzhou, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come on this trip. β
"Oh, who did you meet?"
He asks wisely, not about things, but only about people.
And the Chang'an Sword King replied with a high mind: "An unexpected person." β
Fang Zimo smiled when he heard this, probably a friend from the rivers and lakes.
"Why don't you do it now?"
"I've done it before, and since I can't tell the winner, let's wait. β
Fang Zimo walked towards the Five Peaks Observatory, and said without looking back, "Then wait." β
After Zhang Qingzi also came out of the quiet room, he only glanced coldly at Xie Ding, Lin Lao Ghost, and Wild Fox, who were standing in the distance, and went out of the Taoist temple with Fang Zimo.
Old Ghost Lin was an ordinary-looking old man, with a strong and tall body, and his belly was a little convex, and he complained to Xie Ding: "If I knew that it was so troublesome, I wouldn't have taken just such a little silver." β
Xie Ding was not afraid of him, and joked: "You have a lot of silver, after the matter is completed, you can still ask Lord Wei for some when you go back, why bother? Besides, now you and his husband and wife are fighting to the death, it is better to keep up all the way, and when the nine difficulties are reached, I will not be able to catch a Zhang Qingzi when I deal with it?"
Old Ghost Lin also spoke with a look like he was joking casually, "I know that you have a little bit of fancy intestines, but these two are just killed, if you really do that kind of thing to Zhang Qingzi, you can weigh what will happen if Yun Wujing comes to the door." β
Xie Ding's face suddenly became gloomy, and he stopped talking.
However, the wild fox asked strangely: "I have also heard of the name of Yun Wujing, why do people in the rivers and lakes talk about it?"
The three of them followed Fang Zimo and Zhang Qingzi all the way down the mountain, and Old Ghost Lin only crooked his mouth, so that people couldn't tell whether they were laughing or not. But this subtle look made the wild fox around him get goosebumps, as if a bloody breath was surging over.
"You'd better not know, I'm afraid that after you understand clearly, you won't dare to follow. Xiao Xie, after doing these two guys, I'm about to leave Chang'an, Yun Wujing is disgusted by people and ghosts, and there is no way to find me, right? But what about you? You are called Chang'an Sword King, and if you leave Chang'an, do you want to change your name?"
Xie Ding sneered, refused to show weakness, and said: "With Wei Xian and Jiu Difficulty, how could he come to me first? Besides, he has not heard from him in Lingnan for seven years, and it is unknown whether he is dead or not. β
"This person is not in Chang'an, Chang'an is really much more peaceful. β
Xie Ding agreed with Lin Laogui's words, and his tone softened: "If he re-enters the rivers and lakes, that crazy woman will naturally not let him go." β
"Heh, 100,000 people are crazy, I really want to see how many he can fight!"
"It's a pity, if Xu Qing and Xia Yunxian hadn't been dragged and came together, they would have been able to stay in this Wufeng Mountain. β
............
Luonan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yongxing Junlu Shangzhou, is the hometown of Wang Ping, known as the first person in Shaanxi Province to be known as the "Yellow River Soul Sword". The people in the county are fierce, and there are more than a dozen small sects in the vicinity, mostly with two-handed long swords, all of whom are Wang Ping's disciples. People who come and go from the rivers and lakes will not look for trouble in Luonan County as a last resort.
Earlier, the Chang'an Sword King and other five people chased all the way, and they were very careful when they arrived here, staying in a restaurant at night, and they didn't want someone to knock on the window in the middle of the night, which caused Xia Yunxian, who lived alone.
Xia Yunxian is a female devil who can kill people without saying a word in the rivers and lakes, and when she heard that a night walker was coming to make trouble, she took her sword and grabbed it out of the window, and saw a man in black who was short and standing on the opposite eaves, so she flew and jumped over. The man in black didn't fight her, but only flew on the roof, and the two chased and fled, and in a moment they were far away from the restaurant.
Unable to catch up for a long time, she was furious in her heart, and when she was about to use the shuttle, the man in black in front stopped on an eaves and turned to look at her.
She didn't think much about it in a hurry, rushed forward, turned over in the air, just stepped on the eaves, and suddenly found that the tile under her feet was loose, and there was no way to borrow strength from the place where she landed, and the whole person fell directly into the house below.
This place is just an ordinary person's house, there is no one in the house, the other party has laid a trap at some point, she fell down, "plopped" into a large wooden barrel, she was soaked in an instant, and her nose was full of the smell of sesame oil.
She jumped out of the barrel, and the man in black in the house had jumped down.
In the dark, the man took out the fire fold and blew it up, looked at Xia Yunxian who was dressed in sesame oil, and said with a smile: "Why do so many people not understand the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing?"
This person has a black scarf on his face, and he can't see his face, but his body is not tall, and he is a young woman listening to the voice.
Xia Yunxian couldn't bear her contempt so much, and was about to make a move, when she saw her shake the fire fold in her hand and asked, "You're not afraid of death?"
Xia Yunxian suddenly broke out in a sweat, but said stubbornly in her mouth: "Presumably you don't know the name of my Thousand Illusion Electric Shuttle, as long as you dare to move, I will kill you with a shuttle!"
The woman in black laughed, her laughter was as crisp and pleasant as a wind chime, and she said, "If I don't know who you are, why did I bring you here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of lightning shot at her, and she turned her wrist with her other empty hand, and popped out a stone, which was the size of a fingernail, and actually sent the shuttle flying, catapulted into the wall two feet away, and inserted into the wall.
Only this secret weapon kung fu seems to be more advanced than Xia Yunxian, you must know that the small stone is less than one-tenth of the shuttle, but it can knock the shuttle into the air and insert it into the wall, the strength, precision, and eyesight make Xia Yunxian couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Since you're masked, I just don't want you to know who it is. β
"What are you going to do?" Xia Yunxian knew that if she didn't fall into the trap, even if she was defeated by her own skills, she wouldn't fall into the current situation.
Now, she is determined to not escape the fire in the hands of the other party, and life and death have been controlled by the woman in black.
"I'd like to think about it!" said the woman in black, looking around, then walked to the side of the room, took a stone from the corner of the door, and walked over to her.
As she got closer, she suddenly became frightened, and her body began to tremble.
As long as the flame is on her body, she is finished.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but beg: "Don't ......"
"Don't move, such a beautiful person, it's miserable to burn. β
She really didn't dare to move, but she saw the woman in black wave her hand and smash the stone into her calf, breaking the tibia of her right leg in one fell swoop.
"Ah......h
The woman in black didn't stop, hooked her other leg with her foot, and was about to smash it, but she was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped and begged for mercy: "Don't smash it, you and I have never known each other, why do you want to do this to me?"
"Because your shuttle is the most threatening during the siege, I have to deal with you first, smash your two legs, and then I can't deal with Fang Zimo. β
"It turns out that you are for Fang Zimo...... If you let me go, I promise you to leave at once and not go with them again. β
"I can't trust you. β
"You've broken my leg, how can I do it without a month and a half?"
"With your martial arts, you can still move if you break a leg. Don't say it, it's a famous person, come, be strong. β
"No, no, no, no, no......" may be that women are naturally more afraid of pain, and she was so panicked that she said many nos in a row.
"Then I'll have to point you out, albeit a little cruelly. β
Xia Yunxian was about to go crazy, watching the woman in black pick up a stone and smash it on her other leg, listening to the sound of bones breaking in her body, and finally fainted under pain and fear.
Xu Qing in the restaurant heard Xia Yunxian leap out of the window, and hurriedly followed, but after all, she was a step too late and couldn't find her at night. On the second day, the nearby residents heard Xia Yunxian's cry for help and sent her back.
The people who rushed to the restaurant with her back and forth were a group of people in the rivers and lakes.
I don't know which one made a letter of challenge and sent it to Wang Ping's home, just when Wang Ping went to Songshan to visit friends, he was learned by his disciples, and when he took the letter, it was a dispute. It turned out that the words of this letter were extremely arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't take Wang Ping in his eyes at all, which made his disciples angry, and they wanted to give the master a bad breath, so they came to the door together.
"What? When did I hand over the challenge letter? I asked Senior Wang to challenge? Am I crazy?" Xu Qing was stunned, and his intuition was strange and extremely funny.
The Yellow River Soul Sword has been famous for more than 20 years, and has been a famous master of several battles, nearly 100 battles, without a single defeat, with Xu Qing's status in the rivers and lakes, it is arrogant to say that the challenges are arrogant, and he can only ask for advice.
He explained again and again, calming the anger of these people a little, but he was stopped in the way, and these people said that when the master returned, he would make up his mindβhe would already give him the face of the iron sword scholar.
Xia Yunxian was smashed and her leg was broken, and Xu Qing was left in the restaurant by Wang Ping's disciples. Chang'an Sword King, Lin Lao Ghost, and Wild Fox can only set off first.
Not to mention Xia Yunxian and Xu Qing, even the Chang'an Sword King and the other three were also very depressed, and they were calculated, but they didn't even know who the other party was, and they hit the key point twice, and there was no room for struggling and easing. It can be seen that the other party is by no means an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes.

Coming down from Wufeng Mountain, Fang Zimo and Zhang Qingzi rushed all the way to Duguan Town, rested for a night, and bought two western horses on the second day. Xie Ding and the others behind this road also rode their horses, only following from a distance, and on the third day, they were just about to set off in Yongning County, but they were stopped by a group of people.
This group of people has nothing to do with Wei Xian's forces, they are all white road figures in the rivers and lakes in the Luoyang area, and they are respectfully guarding the road, and they want to ask the two to return to Yongning County to surrender.
"Fang Daxia, your sea fishing documents have arrived in Luoyang, and I am waiting to find it for the sake of Fang Daxia, to find out the case with the yamen as soon as possible, and to clear my innocence. β
"That's right, the name of Lingyun Sword Immortal in Chang'an City, the rivers and lakes are like thunder, and he must have suffered an injustice, Luoyang Qingfeng Gate is willing to uphold justice for Fang Daxia, and the master of the door has always been friendly with the commander of Henan Mansion, Master Jiang, and he had a relationship with Fang Daxia in his early years......"
Fang Zimo calmly made a Jianghu salute and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Fang Mou is carrying evidence, just arrive in Kaifeng to see the clouds and clarify the world! β
These people refused to let him go, insisting that he go back to Yongning County, and whether he really helped him would be known.
And what worries Fang Zimo the most finally happened, whether the people who act chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes are a minority, and many of them are still people of interest - just like a gang like Luoyang Qingfengmen, relying on the command of Henan Mansion, everything must be based on the officialdom of Henan Mansion. I also want to know that if Fang Zimo, who was caught in the sea, was arrested by them, wouldn't he have more status in front of the commander of Henan Mansion to ask for merit and reward?
Seeing that Xie Ding and the others who were chasing after him were about to come to a front and back attack, there was no need to say anything at the moment, Fang Zimo drove his horse and swung his sword to break through the barrier, and Zhang Qingzi followed him into a small road quickly, and got rid of these people's pursuit in a short time.
Ten miles away from Yiyang City, the two western horses finally couldn't support it and refused to run.
In desperation, the two dismounted and walked, and were caught up by Xie Ding and others after a short time, Fang Zimo looked back and saw that there were a total of seven healthy horses and seven Jianghu men. In addition to Lin Lao Ghost and Wild Fox, there are four of Xie Ding's subordinates, who have also met in Chang'an in the past.
Zhang Qingzi took off the long sword from behind his back and drew the sword in his hand.
Fang Zimo glanced at her, their hearts were connected, people couldn't finish killing, but horses must not stay.
Xie Ding and the others jumped off the horse and surrounded them, Lin Lao Ghost was the first to take out the knife, he made a flat-headed thick-backed machete, the force was heavy, the knife technique was clean and neat, and he walked the key veins.
It was not difficult for Fang Zimo to block his sword, but it was difficult for Xie Ding's swordsmanship to be ruthless and vicious, and the move came towards him through the empty door, which made him change his moves extremely quickly and speed up the speed of ventilation.
On the other side, four of Xie Ding's subordinates surrounded Zhang Qingzi, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
The remaining wild foxes were holding the dust in their hands and guarding behind Xie Ding and the others, apparently in case Fang Zimo accidentally injured the mount.
After about dozens of moves, Zhang Qingzi found an opportunity, jumped behind a man with a light body, stabbed in with a sword, and immediately killed the other party.
When Xie Ding saw it, he hurriedly rushed up to block Zhang Qingzi's long sword, and his internal strength was vigorous, and he shook back Zhang Qingzi, who was going to take the opportunity to be ruthless.
The three men hurriedly walked around and surrounded her again, plus Xie Ding on the front, I was afraid that she would not be able to resist if she didn't use a few tricks. And after leaving Xie Ding, Fang Zimo was superior to Lin Lao Ghost, the family legend stunt "Flying Sword into the Green Clouds", with footwork, forced Lin Lao Ghost back in two moves, and turned around to attack Xie Ding from behind.
At this time, the wild fox who was outside the field also flew into the battle, and hit Fang Zimo behind him with a blow of dust. In the eyes of Old Ghost Lin, Xie Ding and his three subordinates were about to besiege Zhang Qingzi, Fang Zimo assassinated Xie Ding behind his back, and the wild fox attacked Fang Zimo behind his back, and in an instant, it was already to the point of life and death!
Suddenly, the situation changed abruptly, and when Lin Lao Ghost was about to catch up, he saw Zhang Qingzi make a quick sword, and his body and sword were one, slashing through the neck of a man guarding behind him, and flew out of the encirclement.
Xie Ding shouted in shock: "Chasing the light and breaking the shadow!"
And Fang Zimo also made a change of move, suddenly turned around, jumped past the wild fox chasing from behind, and came directly to the side of the seven healthy horses, the sword light was shining, and the horses neighed and fell. It was too late for Old Ghost Lin to retreat and stop it, and he watched Fang Zimo hurt his horse and fly away again, and in a blink of an eye, he followed behind Zhang Qingzi and entered the dense forest.
The man covered his neck, blood flowed out of his fingers, and his blood vessels were cut, so that Xie Ding and the others could look, and after a few breaths, he lay on the ground weakly waiting for death.
