Chapter 2 The Origin of the Two Rituals, Tracking in the Night

The unkempt man laughed loudly: "The Qinglong Protector has good eyesight, and he is not used to seeing injustices in the life of Xie Tianxing, and there are countless treacherous people who have died under this sword over the years, and there are not many people who know this way of swordsmanship."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, and the man with a decadent face and sloppy clothes in front of him was actually a disciple of Yan Ling Daxia, Zuo Canglong said: "Back then, Yan Ling Daxia was a hero who traveled all over the world to eliminate evil and righteousness, and everyone in the rivers and lakes admired and admired him.

I have had several encounters with Yan Lingxia and know this Yan Lingxia Thirteen Style Swordsmanship, but Yan Lingxia has always been secretive, and it is really a blessing for Your Excellency to be able to get this true transmission."

Zuo Canglong was full of words, and he thought in his heart: This unkempt man is strong in martial arts and is in the middle of himself, he is not only the heir of Yan Lingxia, but also has a sword in his hand, at this time, it is not easy to hold Ouyang Wan'er to the Wuyue Sword Sect.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said: "Since it is the beloved daughter of Xie Daxia who has fallen in love with the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, Lu Yifeng in my sect has been defeated in the hands of Your Excellency, and her skills are not as good as others, and this chick should give it up!"

After speaking, he helped the seriously injured Lu Yifeng to go upstairs. At this time, Ouyang Wan'er was already blushing with shame, although she had resentment in her heart, she didn't have a seizure when she thought that the White Lotus Sect was no longer entangled.

The sun is setting and the twilight is thick!

The two figures at the table in the west corner of Sanqing Building are Ouyang Wan'er and Xie Tianxing. I saw him holding a roast chicken in his left hand and a wine jug in his right hand, taking three sips of meat and one sip of wine, and he was not restrained at all by a young and beautiful woman beside him!

Since the death of his master Yan Ling Daxia, his life has been accompanied by wine, and wine is also his only friend!

Ouyang Wan'er grew up in a famous sect since she was a child, and she knew a lot about the strange people in the rivers and lakes, although she had a lot of curiosity and gratitude for the person in front of her, it was inconvenient to ask a thing or two. Thinking about the hurried meeting in the world, it passed like a sunset! The sunset shone on her delicate face, but there was a trace of sorrow in her watery eyes~

After a while, she picked up her saber and got up and said: "Today, the little woman is grateful for the grace of Xie Daxia's rescue, but there are many doubts about the White Lotus Sect's deeds, and I have to go back to the Wuyue Sword Sect to report to my father as soon as possible, this kindness will only be repaid in the coming day, so I will leave!" After that, he turned around and went down to the restaurant, and with the sound of horses' hooves, Ouyang Wan'er was gone.

Xie Tianxing was drinking and gulping down, he didn't raise his head to look at her from beginning to end, maybe in his heart, Ouyang Wan'er was just an ordinary person among the countless people he had saved!

It was almost dark at the end of the day, and Xie Tianxing felt satisfied when he put the last drop of wine in the jug into his mouth! He picked up his sword and walked into the guest room with staggering steps, the good restaurant service was undoubtedly the most thoughtful, Xiao Er had already made the bed clean, and even the hot water for washing his face was ready. But he had no habit of washing, and when fatigue struck, he lay on the bed early, his eyes slightly closed.

The scene from decades ago comes to mind~~

It was the afternoon when the scorching sun was heading, a tattered and barefoot young man walked on the official road, several strong soldiers of the government behind him walked all the way, the blazing sun baked his skin like charcoal, and the chains worn on his hands and feet rubbed the earth and made a jingling sound~ He kept burying his head forward, but his Adam's apple kept choking, "I want to drink water, I can't walk"

After the young man finished speaking, he rested on the side of the road, "Hurry up for Lao Tzu, where is there water in this wilderness, you kid knows thirst, doesn't uncle know thirst?"

Another strong soldier next to him said: "Don't beat this kid to death, the dead can't get a reward from the palace!" The strong soldier who beat people said again: "Brothers, I really don't want those rewards, if it weren't for Prince Ning personally ordering the surrounding county governments to catch all the strong men within a few months, and they will be held accountable, otherwise who would want to do this errand?"

The young man's body was in terrible pain, and he thought that he just wanted to beg for a bowl of water to drink, but he was treated like this by you, and treated other people's lives like insects and ants, I might as well die with you!

The heart stood up with his hands, and the arm-thick iron chain was already strangled around the neck of the strong soldier, and the rest of the strong soldiers stepped forward to rescue him when they saw this, but the young man had already died with an iron heart! One of them said: "If you don't let go of Lao Tzu to kill you, you don't want any reward, let go quickly!"

The boy turned a deaf ear, and the blood on his body stained the robust soldier's clothes. "Okay, let Lao Tzu kill this little thief first" After that, he pulled out his waist knife and slashed at the young man, the knife fell on the back of two inches, but he heard a crisp sound of clanging, and the strong soldier only felt the pain of the tiger's mouth, and the steel knife had fallen three zhang away.

Suddenly, a figure flickered, and all the strong soldiers fell to the ground, and the man who shot the shot said, "Everyone has the right to live, today I will give you a chance to be a new person, if I let me encounter such things again, I will not tolerate you!" Several strong soldiers were shocked and lost their colors, knowing that they had encountered the masters of the rivers and lakes, they were silent, and slipped away with their shoulders on their backs.

The young man looked for prestige, and saw that the man had thick eyebrows, deep eyebrows, short hair, and was dressed in a long robe! He was very grateful and said, "Thank you for saving me!" The man helped the young man up, untied the water bag and fed the young man a few sips of water to drink, and said: "Little brother, don't call me a hero, my name is Ye Yanling, they all call me Brother Yanling, what is your name? How did you end up in prison?"

The young man said: "My name is Xie Tianxing, my parents have died in the war a few years ago, recently Ning Wangfu ordered to catch strong men in the surrounding county mansions to fill the army, all those who were captured were treated as prisoners, I have no grudge to fight on the battlefield, but I can't bear this humiliation to fight with my life." ”

Ye Yanling had already heard of it, and thought of the chaos in the world in recent years, and the smoke and flames of the Jin Ge Iron Horse continued, and he couldn't help sighing~ and asked: "What are Brother Xie's plans in the future?" Xie Tianxing said: "If Brother Yan Ling doesn't dislike the younger brother, can you let me walk with you?"

Ye Yanling looked at him covered in blood and said, "You want to learn martial arts from me?"

"Yes, I want to learn from Brother Yan Ling's good skills," Xie Tianxing said

"You should know that even if you learn superior martial arts, you will not shed less blood than now, and you may lose your life!"

"I know, but at that point I can at least choose to make my blood flow worthwhile. ”

Ye Yanling pondered, as if he saw that the young man in front of him was his own shadow, and in the end he became his brother and his master, but no one ever knew about their relationship, because Ye Yanling never accepted apprentices, he only helped those who needed his help.

Xie Tianxing was lying on the bed board tossing and turning, thinking of his master's life of chivalry and righteousness, and thinking of the many terrifying deeds of the White Lotus Sect in recent years, he decided to investigate.

Got up and tied his sword to his back, closed the doors and windows, and turned over his tall body and disappeared into the hazy night. The bright moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight illuminates the outline of the three bottles of the building clearly. In the distance, a figure was hiding in the dark corner of the eaves, and that was Xie Tianxing.

The roof tiles have been removed, and the candlelight in the house is shining through the cracks!

Lu Yifeng and Zuo Canglong sat opposite each other, and there were several exquisite dishes and a pot of wine on the table. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yifeng's bronzed face was already slightly red, and he brushed the mole on his left cheek with the intention of wine and asked, "The crazy man who fought with me during the day is really Ye Yanling's disciple?"

Zuo Canglong pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Although it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ye Yanling has no disciples and his whereabouts are erratic, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and many people who want to worship him as a teacher have no way to join the teacher, but I have learned that set of Yanling's thirteen-style swordsmanship! This is undoubtedly true, and he himself admits that Ye Yanling is his master."

Lu Yifeng nodded, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight sly smile: "During the day, I let that guy pick up a bargain to save Ouyang Wan'er, but we also harvested a treasure, didn't we?" Zuo Canglong's deep eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean...... That sword!"

Lu Yifeng nodded proudly again. Zuo Canglong laughed and said: "Brother Lu is not confused this time, the sword is the treasure of the martial arts has been lost for many years, and I am also thinking about how to collect the sword into a bag, even if you and I join forces, we can't win Xie Tianxing, this matter has to be quickly taught to the sect master, if there is Xuanwu, the two protectors of the Vermilion Bird will help, and our four elephant protectors will have a chance to win the sword!"

Lu Yifeng took a sip of wine and asked, "According to Brother Zuo, what will we do next?" Zuo Canglong finished drinking the wine in the cup, and said with a slightly sad look on his face: "This time, our main task is to find the thousand-year-old ice leech in the Wuyue Sword Sect to cure the old sect master's heavy poison, and one of the most important things is to recover the supreme martial arts secret book "Liangyi Heart Sutra" that has been lost for hundreds of years in the martial arts, but the matter of finding the "Liangyi Heart Sutra" Sect Leader Zhou has already gone out in person. ”

Xie Tianxing's internal skills were profound, his hearing was extraordinary, and the conversation between the two naturally came to his ears, recalling that Ye Yanling had told him before his death that a few years ago in the Dadu Bauhinia City, several major sects besieged the White Lotus Sect.

At that time, there were Shangqing Sect, Wuyue Sword Sect, Bashan Sect and other major sects and first-class masters in the rivers and lakes to participate, the battle lasted for two days and two nights, the White Lotus Sect leader Zhou Dingtian was seriously injured and escaped under the cover of the Four Elephant Protectors, and there were countless casualties among several major sects! Xie Tianxing already knew in his heart, thinking that the fight between the various sects and the White Lotus Sect must be caused by the supreme martial arts secret book "Liangyi Heart Sutra", thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart~~

Zuo Canglong said: "A few months ago, according to the spies, this Liangyi Heart Sutra has fallen into the hands of the Upper Puritans, and if we meet Puritans on this trip, we have to pay a little attention." Lu Yifeng said again: "Yes, but in my opinion, even if we find a thousand-year-old ice leech in the Wuyue Sword Sect this trip, then Ouyang Yu may not let us take it away, and Ouyang Wan'er has only been away for about an hour, and it is not impossible to catch up with her with our skills!"

Zuo Canglong's face showed a look of satisfaction and said, "Okay, time is pressing, let's go immediately!" After that, the two of them rushed out of the door and disappeared into the hazy night~~
