Chapter 172: Frost Sky and Falling Moon and Silver Python
"What do you think, Elder?, did You Jinwen borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul?" Luo Baiyi asked tentatively. Yan Ruxi didn't say much, just chuckled: "Hmph, ridiculous." ”
With Yan Ruxi leading the way, Luo Baiyi naturally went all the way unimpeded, but this time when he came to the Western Sword Sect, he saw that there were many bright posts in Yinyue Villa, and there were countless secret whistles, and the village was heavily guarded, and the disciples everywhere were waiting for them and patrolling all the time.
The two of them came all the way to the top of the main hall, and saw that the seats had changed positions, and it was no longer Lin Ruxue who was sitting in the center of the hall, but Lu Zhuangyu. Originally, Lu Zhuangyu's position was the former head of Lin. Luo Baiyi was surprised, Yan Ruxi came out to play a round, and whispered to this Luo Baiyi: "I haven't seen Master Lu yet!"
Only then did Luo Baiyi come to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Senior Luo Baiyi, meet Master Lu." "Lu Zhuangyu doesn't have any severance, and the last time the two met, they almost had a big quarrel, just as the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, and so Lu Zhuangyu is not the head of the house, and his eyes are not better than before, much longer-term, he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and now he has experienced a battle with a leaf of sword and has become much calmer.
"We're old acquaintances, so we don't have to beat around the bush. Besides, why did you come to my Western Sword Sect this time?" Lu Zhuangyu went straight to the point and made Luo Baiyi feel uncomfortable, but he still tried to calm down and said slowly: "The junior came here this time to specifically ask the Western Sword Sect to help and find out the murderer who wiped out the Northern Sword Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and Lin Ruxue shrewdly waved her hand, telling the sword-wielding disciples on both sides to retreat and cover the door of the hall. Lu Zhuangyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, blinked and asked again: "You, what did you just say?"
Luo Baiyi bowed down again and clenched his fists, lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down and said: "The junior implores the Western Sword Sect to investigate the Northern Sword Sect, destroy the door, and find out the murderer!"
Lu Zhuangyu, Lin Ruxue and Yan Ruxi glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, and they were silent. Luo Baiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the expressions on the faces of the three of them, and hurriedly said: "The four great sword sects are in the same breath, and their lips are cold and their teeth are cold, and now that the Northern Sword Sect has suffered a catastrophe, are the other three sword sects going to stand by and wait to be killed!"
"It's not that we don't want to help, it's ...... I really can't help ......" Lin Ruxue bit her lower lip, finally sighed, closed her eyes slightly and lowered her head. Yan Ruxi only shook his head and sighed, Luo Baiyi was puzzled, and argued: "Why can't you help?
Lu Zhuang Yu leaned over, this period of hard work seemed to make him a lot older, he finally understood the difficulty of Lin Ruxue before, and sighed when he heard the words: "Actually, when we heard the rumors yesterday, we sent a disciple to the Northern Sword Sect overnight to inquire about the situation, and just returned to Yinyue Villa just after flying pigeon to pass the book......
Luo Baiyi stood up excitedly when he heard this, and urgently stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation?"
"All the disciples of the Northern Sword Sect, together with the head of the sect, the four Dharma Protector Elders, the twelve sword disciples, and the servants in the village, a total of five hundred and seventy-three people, all died tragically. The method of death is similar to You Jinwen's martial arts, even if we don't believe in the heresy of borrowing corpses to return souls and take revenge, we have to be vigilant to deal with it. Lu Zhuangyu said helplessly.
Yan Ruxi also got up and said: "Although You Jinwen died, but he didn't know where to learn the evil martial arts, and now I am afraid that it will flow into the rivers and lakes again, I don't know who got it, I practiced this skill, and took advantage of the great loss of vitality of the various sects, and slaughtered the Northern Sword Sect when he was defenseless, although we don't know what his purpose is, but he is indeed coming for my four major sword sects." Now that the Northern Sword Sect has been wiped out, I'm afraid that our Western Sword Sect will also be unable to escape the catastrophe, and it is still difficult for us to protect ourselves, so how can we find out the murderer?"
"Then why don't you wait for the murderer to fall into the trap, and then we will work together to catch him!" Luo Baiyi asked.
The three of them said in unison, "We also thought about it. Glancing at each other, Lu Zhuangyu continued: "But this time, I don't know if the murderer's next target is us, these two, he is in the dark, we are in the light, even if it is day and night, the shift change is also exhausting, but he waits for work, and we fold for a while." What are these three comings......"
Lu Zhuangyu glanced at Yan Ruxi on the side, motioned for him to continue, Yan Ruxi then said: "These three, to tell the truth, the four major sword sects have a century-old foundation, and their strength is comparable, and the northern sword sect has been beaten to the point that it has no power to fight back, I am afraid, I am afraid that the Western sword sect will also ......" The rest of the words were a little difficult to speak, after all, it was an insult in itself to let such a big faction admit that their skills were inferior.
Lin Ruxue also sighed: "We only want to be able to keep the hundred-year foundation of the Western Sword Sect in this catastrophe, otherwise, we will also be broken like the Northern Sword Sect." This is also a helpless move. ”
When Luo Baiyi heard this, his heart was already like ashes, he staggered to his feet, looked around at the three of them, and shook his head and sneered: "I understand." You guys who claim to be famous and upright, keep saying that you want to shoulder the rise and fall of the world, make the rivers and lakes peaceful, and all the people are healthy, but now you are watching your alliance with the same spirit and branches being wiped out, but you refuse to lend a hand? Just want to steal your life and save your own family? It's ridiculous!
After saying that, he dragged his heavy steps, staggered out of the door, his back was a little lonely, and when his fingertips touched the temple door, Lin Ruxue suddenly got up and stopped him: "White clothes."
Wait!" Yan Ruxi and Lu Zhuangyu didn't expect Lin Ruxue to be like this suddenly, but they didn't stop it, and quietly watched her next move.
Luo Baiyi turned his head coldly and asked, "What else is there to do with the seniors." ”
"Although we can't investigate who the killer is, we are afraid that he will find us sooner or later. If you want to know who he is, stay in the door. Lin Ruxue frowned and said without hesitation.
Luo Baiyi stopped when he heard this, he was slightly stunned, he wanted to push the door and leave, but after thinking about it, maybe it would be better to meet Xiaoli than to look for it aimlessly, so he turned around, bowed down and bowed: "Thank you Elder Lin." With that, he went down to the hall and was led by his disciple to settle down in the room where he had stayed last time.
After Luo Baiyi left, Lu Zhuangyu asked Lin Ruxue in confusion: "Why do you want to keep him in the door? If the person who destroyed the Northern Sword Sect really came to the door, it is still a question of whether we can survive this catastrophe, and how to save his life." Lin Ruxue looked out the door and replied calmly: "I believe that he will protect himself, and maybe, at a critical moment, he can still help us." ”
"It's all cause and effect, and now we're left to fate. Yan Ruxi knelt on the side and pulled out his long sword, which had not been unsheathed for a long time, and his solemn expression was reflected on the body of the sword.
Luo Baiyi sat quietly in the room, not going out and walking around as usual. He had a hunch, a very strong premonition that something would happen tonight. He and Xiaoli grew up together since childhood, and they already have a heart. Fang Cai Luo Baiyi did not mention the matter of Jin Yu to Lu Zhuangyu and them, even if they knew that Jin Yu was Rao Mengli's thing, they were afraid that it would not help, but they would think about it more, so it was better not to say it.
If nothing happens after tonight, Luo Baiyi will leave the Silver Moon Mountain Villa and go to the Northern Sword Sect alone. At this time, the corpses of the Northern Sword Sect were collected by the villagers of the neighboring villages, and they were buried together, and a hero's grave was erected at the foot of Huju Mountain to bury their corpses. This is also the cause and effect planted by the Northern Sword Sect for a hundred years to protect the local people from the invasion of bandits.
Time passed little by little with the autumn wind that swept over the dead branches, and the red sun hanging overhead gradually turned westward. The reflection of the old tree in the center of Silvermoon Villa is also getting longer and longer, like a vicissitudes of life, guarding the safety of this tranquil mountain villa at all times. And the guards in the villa rotated step by step, not daring to relax their vigilance.
They all knew in their hearts that once anyone let their guard down, it was likely to lead to the destruction of the entire sect. They don't want to repeat the mistakes of Dragon Tiger Villa.
When the red sun had sunk into the western mountains, and the last trace of colorful glow on the skyline was withdrawn from the palm of his hand, the huge blue night began to fall, like a pitch-black cloak, embellished with gold and silver embellishments, turning into a sky full of stars. The sky was getting dark, and the Silver Moon Villa also hung up lanterns early and lit oil lamps and candles. The whole villa was shrouded in soft candlelight.
If it weren't for the fact that there were disciples everywhere who were ready to draw their swords at any time, it would really show a bit of quiet and peaceful. The entire mountain village was immersed in a terrifying silence, all the disciples were holding their breath and tense, even the guards who took turns to rest were holding their swords in their hands, and they could only sleep peacefully with one eye open and one eye closed.
Even the disciples who were close to each other did not dare to speak, only the sound of the wind and the heartbeat of each other were in their ears. If he persists like this for a few more days, even if that person doesn't come, the Western Sword Sect will be dragged down, and at that time, anyone will dare to kill him. Yan Ruxi and Lin Ruxue also took a team of disciples to patrol around, and Lu Zhuangyu guarded the hall with Sang Yuejian.
The six sword-wielding disciples are hidden in various parts of the villa, ready to answer everywhere at any time. Seeing that every disciple looked nervous, and the blue tendons on their foreheads appeared, Yan Ruxi and Lin Ruxue saw it in their eyes, although they were distressed, they were helpless, after all, the murderous demon would come back at any time.
Luo Baiyi was still sitting upright in the room, standing or standing, walking or walking, even if he fell on the bed, he was tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep. finally closed his eyes, his mind was full of Rao Mengli's figure and large areas of blood, so he was extremely frightened, and he inevitably wondered if the destruction of the Northern Sword Sect was really related to Rao Mengli......
After pacing in the room for a long time, the silence was broken by a knock on the door. Luo Baiyi asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" The person outside the door responded: "I am a disciple of Yinyue Villa, and I am here to deliver food to Luo Shaoxia." Estimating that it was time for dinner, Luo Baiyi touched his rumbling stomach, although he was hungry, he really couldn't eat in his heart.
Even so, Luo Baiyi still let the disciple in. Putting the food on the table, the disciple simply cleaned up and said to Luo Baiyi, "Please Luo Shaoxia eat." There is another matter, the head of the family ordered me to explain to Luo Shaoxia. Luo Baiyi then asked, "But it doesn't hurt to say." ”
"The password in the door tonight is Qiu Cicada, and the head of the door ordered me to inform Luo Shaoxia of the password, but I still hope that Luo Shaoxia can stay in the room in peace, and don't walk around in the door at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After the food is used up, it can be left outside the door, and its own disciples will pick it up. The disciple said respectfully, Luo Baiyi thought he understood, and all agreed before the disciple left the house.
Raising the lacquered wooden chopsticks and fiddling with them in front of him, those meals were also delicate and attractive, Luo Baiyi thought to himself: "If there is a big battle tonight, you will definitely suffer on an empty stomach, no matter what, eat him a few bites indiscriminately first, and it will be easy to deal with it."
The need for the hour. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to be cowardly in battle?" thought about it, and devoured it on his mouth.
Edible Zhengxiang, suddenly heard a noisy and noisy outside the door, Luo Baiyi didn't care about the unfinished meal and the rice grains and oil on his mouth, he casually pulled the cup on the bed and wiped his mouth and hands indiscriminately, and didn't care about Lu Zhuangyu's previous explanation, and rushed out of the house.
I saw that the villa was crowded with people, and all the disciples were holding weapons and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the main hall. Luo Baiyi was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly followed them to the main hall. Got into the sea of people, pushed through the crowd, and tried all his strength to get to the front of the crowd with sweat. I saw that Lin Ruxue and Yan Ruxi were both blocking the disciples with horizontal swords, blocking the door of the main hall.
On the beams in the hall, there has been a hollow, broken tiles fell to the ground, it seems that now the murderer did not kill from the mountain gate to the mountain, but learned to be smarter, straight from the roof into the temple. There seemed to be three figures in the hall swaying, but except for Lu Zhuangyu, the other two were all facing away from the door, and the lights were dim, so Luo Baiyi couldn't see it really.
And that Lu Zhuangyu was kneeling on one knee, clutching the Sangyue sword in his hand, supporting the scarred body, blood was already oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he still looked at the two people with resolute eyes, the house was in a mess, several wooden cases were cut into pieces by the sword qi, and there were traces of fighting on the beams and walls.
But if there hadn't been that fight, the disciples wouldn't have heard the noise.
Lu Zhuangyu clenched his teeth, and just about to open his mouth, a mouthful of blood gushed out, the external injury was small, but he was afraid that Lu Zhuangyu's internal injuries had already injured his internal organs, and all the meridians: "You...... You, are you the ones who wiped out the Northern Sword Sect......" Yun Yanyu was masked with purple veil, and sneered when he heard this: "Who let the old guy who is in charge of the list not know how to lift, otherwise it will not make the Northern Sword Sect cut off the incense." ”
When all the people present heard this, they were all furious and indignant, and they were eager to rush forward and cut them both into pulp with their swords.
"Quickly release our Lu master!" Lin Ruxue and Lu Zhuangyu stood on their sides, the two swords were level, and they wanted to rush forward with a two-sided attack, but they were afraid that they would strike first, miss a flaw, and be broken by the two in one fell swoop.
And that Rao Mengli was impatient and interested in fighting with everyone here, his dark hands and the nails that looked particularly scarlet and dazzling in the white moonlight poked out of his sleeves, turning slightly, and black clouds rose from his fingertips: "Why talk nonsense with them, just take the skill!"
Now Rao Mengli's body and voice have changed dramatically, and the light is dim, Luo Baiyi can't recognize that person is Rao Mengli, but he is slightly familiar, and he looks nervous on the side.
And Rao Mengli, under the instigation of Yun Yanyu, did not ask if she was willing to help her attack the Yiye Sword Gate to kill You Jinwen, but more decisively and directly sucked away the skill and took it for herself. Now that the matter that occupies Rao Mengli's heart, in addition to killing You Jinwen and rescuing Dao Xueke, it seems that there is a voice that has been forcing her to gain stronger strength, and her incomparable desire for a higher level of martial arts has eaten away at her last humanity little by little.
This is the real horror of the "Supreme Great Xuanshen Scroll", once you learn the martial arts in the book, you will involuntarily have a desire for that amazing power, and you will be out of control until you are tortured to death by that evil skill.
The pupils of his eyes were bloody, his ten fingers were slightly open, and his face under Rao Mengli's golden silk mask was already distorted, crying was not crying, laughing was not laughing, looking at his hands, he said silently in his heart: "Strength, strength, I want strength, I want stronger strength!"
Before everyone could come to their senses, they saw that Rao Mengli had already grabbed Lu Zhuangyu's neck, lifted him up, and hung himself in the air, with black clouds under his feet. When Lin Ruxue, Yan Ruxi and those disciples who had been to Yiye Sword Sect saw this scene, their faces changed drastically, and they all shouted out in unison: "You Jinwen!"
Luo Baiyi also felt that this martial arts was familiar, after all, he had also fought with You Jinwen, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Could it really be You Jinwen's resurrection of the corpse?"
Seeing that the joints of Rao Mengli's left hand were bulging, and his palm was claw-shaped, he screamed, and slapped on the top of Lu Zhuangyu's head. Lu Zhuangyu seemed to be torn by a strong internal force, his mouth opened wide in pain but he had to make a whining sound, his eyes were bleeding and tearful, his whole body trembled like chaff, his hands and feet hung down weakly, and his face became darker and darker.
That stream of true qi was forcibly pulled out from Lu Zhuangyu's meridians, and it was as painful as cramping and peeling bones, and then gathered in the palm of his hand, turning into Rao Mengli's internal force. Lin Ruxue and Lu Zhuangyu glanced at each other, rushed forward three steps together, padded with their right foot, kicked with their left foot, flew up, and the two long swords rushed out like a silver python, drawing several curved arcs, overlapping together, turning their wrists, looping for three weeks, and joining forces to make a "frost sky and falling moon", killing Rao Mengli's back.
The clouds and rain did not stop it, but just flashed into the shadows, waiting for an opportunity. Turning his head to look at the disciples, he found Luo Baiyi who was snooping on his head, they had a relationship with the Tanglin Palace, but now that Yunyanyu was covered with purple veil, Luo Baiyi thought he could recognize it. After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yanyu couldn't help but snicker.
