Chapter 13: Joining forces
In the quiet courtyard, Ruoshui was dressed in white, with a veil on his face as usual, holding an embroidery needle in one hand and a white brocade handkerchief in the other, still embroidering something seriously, as if immersed in it. Only an occasional light cough will break the harmonious picture.
Suddenly, Ruoshui frowned, put down the unfinished brocade hand, stood up and walked out the door.
When I got out of the room, the gate outside the courtyard was also just opened from the outside, and several people came in, the first one was a man of 1278 years old, his face was a little pale, and he held a folding fan in his hand.
It was followed by a person who looked like an "iron tower", it was Tong Qianjin, the elder of the Wangyue Sect who had fought with him, and finally a few family members dressed up in the Tang family.
Ji Shaoyan didn't expect the woman to be so beautiful, although her face was covered by a light veil, but only the upper half of her face was also very beautiful, and her figure was so perfect that she coveted it. Ji Shaoyan was already a playboy, and he was immediately attracted by Ruoshui.
"Cough, Miss Liu, I didn't expect you to live next to the Tang family, it's really dark under the lights, Ji Shaoyan who is looking at Yue Sect, please take a step!" Ji Shaoyan rolled his eyes and said.
Ruoshui didn't speak, nor did he look at Ji Shaoyan, but at Tong Qianjin behind him, with a few more embroidery needles in the sleeve of his left hand.
"Miss Liu, I don't know if you know that Yang Yan flying on the grass?" Ji Shaoyan had already sensed Ruoshui's undisguised hostility, so he began to get down to business.
"I don't recognize it!"
"Then how could Miss Liu appear in the Tang family that day and happen to be rescued by Yang Yan?"
"I didn't know him before, I ran into him by accident last time. ”
"Miss Liu may not know that this Yang Yan is a member of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect does all kinds of evil, and this Yang Yan is even more notorious and a thief. Ji Shaoyan introduced.
"So what?"
"This Yang Yan has been a disaster for more than ten years in various states and counties, and we are a decent family naturally want to remove this scourge for Tianxingdao, if Miss Liu has no intention of sheltering this thief, please ask Miss Liu to help get rid of this fang!"
"There is a child hero, why should I sacrifice ugliness?"
"Miss Liu doesn't know, this Yang Yan is naturally not my uncle's opponent, but she is quite successful, and there is still some trouble in this matter. I heard that Uncle Liu said that Miss Liu's martial arts are strong, so I want to invite the girl to take action together, this matter is over, Miss Liu's last night into Tang's house is over, and how about I ask my uncle to heal the girl?"
"There's no need to heal, in that case, when to do it, you just notify me!"
"Miss Liu is refreshing, I hope we will communicate more in the future, and we will definitely find the trace of this person within three days, and say goodbye!"
After the few people left, Ruoshui returned to the room and continued to do her embroidery, her movements were gentle and full of beauty, and every stitch and thread was extremely serious.
On the evening of the second day, there were six people sitting in the hall of the Tang family at this time, and the main seat facing the door was not the Tang family brothers, but Tong Qianjin of Wangyue Sect, the two brothers of the Tang family were sitting under Ji Shaoyan at this time, and the two people sitting opposite, one was Ruoshui, and the person sitting in front of Ruoshui was Jian San of Wanjian Academy.
"Uncle Tong, what you said is true?
"That's right, Third Brother Jian, I'll tell you where the two of them are at this time after Yang Yan is removed. It was Ji Shaoyan who spoke.
"But, how can this be, they are not lightly injured, how can they escape from the mountain city by hiding from my people!"
"If it is ordinary people, it will naturally not be able to do it, but if there is a mountain city and a land snake to help, it will be much easier, after all, the third brother of the sword is a foreigner, and it is too simple for these land snakes to smuggle people out. ”
Jian San listened to Ji Shaoyan's words and groaned slightly, and looked at the Tang family brothers.
Even if their backers were there, the two of them were so frightened by Jian San that they hurriedly denied it.
"The third brother of the sword misunderstood, I am talking about the Xiao family, although the head of the Xiao family died unexpectedly, the Xiao family has been weakened a lot, but some small things can naturally be done!"
"That's right, I remember that the eldest young master of the Xiao family knew one of them, but there was no evidence before, after all, the other party was a big family in the mountain city, so he didn't want to make enemies, since they wanted to take the initiative to be enemies with me, okay, very good!" Jian San squinted and said.
"Why should the three young heroes of the sword waste time on the monks who do not quit, in three months, it will be the day of the great competition of the six major sects once every ten years, Mr. Jian Yi of the last Ten Thousand Swords Academy won the first place with supreme swordsmanship, I see that the talent of the third master and nephew of the sword is no less than that of the first junior brother of the sword, why not return to the mountain gate to prepare for the big competition first!"
Uncle Xie Tong reminded that Uncle Jian Yi often mentioned that Uncle Tong was born with divine power and excellent martial arts. I attach the most importance to actual combat in the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and when Uncle Jian Yi was also fighting with others, he broke through to the innate realm by chance, and Jian San was not talented, and he also had this idea when he went down the mountain this time. ”
"Well, it makes sense, there are often great opportunities between life and death, and it is similar to my cultivation method. I see that the internal and external skills of my master and nephew have reached the peak of the ninth layer, and the swordsmanship is also quite extraordinary, and I think that the first place in the Sixth Academy of the Sixth Academy will be picked up by the Ten Thousand Swords Academy again!"
"Uncle Shi praised it falsely, not to mention anything else, among the younger generations of the six factions, this Ruoshui junior sister of the Weak Water Sect is deeply hidden, and she is willing to bow down when she is down!" After speaking, Jian San looked at Liu Ruoshui, who had been silent.
"I don't participate in the Great Contest of your six factions!" Ruoshui's cold voice sounded, and there were no superfluous words.
"Okay, let's talk about the destruction of Yang Yan first, according to Uncle Shi's calculations, Yang Yan is not a weak existence in the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow in terms of martial arts, and that's it, whether it is my uncle, or the third brother of the sword or the girl Ruoshui, they are all captured. It's just that this person should have cultivated a legendary top-level light skill, Volley Void Degree, so he needs at least three masters above the ninth level to work together to capture it!" Ji Shaoyan said.
"What, that lewd thief is actually cultivating the method of 'volleying void degree', how is this possible? This is no less than the legendary 'crossing the river with a reed' handed down by the ancestor of Bodhidharma, how can it be practiced by a mere acquired martial artist?"
"The third brother of the sword don't need to be surprised, if it weren't for this light skill against the sky, how could the average acquired cultivator ask the two of them to help, besides, although it is said that this light skill is amazing, I don't see it, saying that it can be comparable to the ancestor of Bodhidharma's 'crossing the river with a reed', I think it is just the boast of the founder!" Ji Shaoyan said.
"That's not necessarily, Yang Yan is only a ninth-level cultivator who can escape from an innate master like Tong Daxia, who has been famous for many years, if he breaks through the innate ... Ruoshui didn't continue, but everyone here knows that there is really such a day, let alone Tong Qianjin, I'm afraid that even the head of Wangyue Sect Ji may not be able to keep people in person.
"What Senior Sister Ruoshui said also makes sense, but it must be difficult to continue cultivating such an anti-heaven exercise, and it seems that the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow to the innate realm is only a step away, so how easy it is to break through, I'm afraid there is no one in ten probability!" Jian San shook his head and said.
There is another sentence that Jian San didn't say, even with Jian San's talent and hard work, plus the master himself who is the first master of the six factions, he is only three or four percent sure.
On the other side, the Xiao family, in the pavilion outside the main hall
On a recliner, Xiao Yi was half-lying, next to Hua Lao, who had just finished examining Xiao Yi's injuries. In the past few days, Xiao Qian's funeral has finally been completed, and after this incident, almost all the connections related to the Xiao family, Xiao Yi, are familiar with it. The previous injuries were also healed, and at this time, Xiao Yi held a Confucian classic in his hand, and watched the paintings and practice swords while studying.
"Yes, since entering the seventh layer the day before yesterday, your swordsmanship has become more and more powerful," Xiao Yi said.
"Gongzi Xie praises, I will be able to fully adapt to it after two days of familiarity!" Hua'er put away his sword and said.
"Elder Hua, how is the matter of the Chuan Gong Hall?"
"Young Master Yi, the seven to ten-year-old children of the family members, guards, men and tenants who are near the mountain city can enter school at any time, according to statistics, there are a total of one hundred and one people, and there are about sixty or seventy children from other places!"
"Well, yes, the silver two have already been given to you, what else do you need me to assist you?"
"Young Master Yi, I have calculated with Elder Hong, although this Xiao family is not small, but if there are more than a hundred people, I am afraid that it will not be able to put it down, and it can accept sixty or seventy people at most. In addition, there are far from enough teachers to pass on the skills, especially these children are illiterate, so in addition to teaching martial arts teachers, they need more than a dozen teachers to pass on the text. ”
"Well, let's do that, let's recruit sixty students first, and then fill it up in three months. I will find a way to solve the problem of food and accommodation in three months. As for the teacher of the Gong, the master who teaches literature is easy to handle, but spending some money can always recruit a few children. The master who teaches martial arts must be cautious, and morality, loyalty, and ability are indispensable. In this way, there were students who went out from the Chuangong Hall a few years ago, and now they should be either guards or outside stewards, pick a dozen people with good ability and loyalty, on the one hand, I want to be a teacher to teach new students, on the other hand, I want to focus on cultivating these dozen people, so as to restore the vitality of the Xiao family as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Young Master Yi, that's the best. ”
"Hua Lao, you go back first!"
After Hua Lao left, Hua'er stood obediently next to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi looked at the book in his hand seriously, and after half a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yi put down the book and looked ahead.
I saw the sword hurrying from afar.
"Childe, I got the news, the Tang family and Jian San have made a big move tonight, they are flying Yang Yan on the ambush grass!"
"Well, the last time Yang Yan escaped under the hands of the innate master of Wangyue Sect, I knew that they would not be reconciled, do you know where Yang Yan is?"
"Childe, I don't know yet, but I will soon know. "Squire Kendo.
"Well, the reason why Wangyue Sect hasn't targeted the Xiao family yet, one is because the Xiao family has declined a lot recently, and they may disdain it. The second is that Yang Yan was mistaken for something related to Tang Yanran's disappearance, so she inadvertently attracted most of the attention of the Tang family and Wangyue Sect. Therefore, Yang Yan is hateful, but he can't die yet, at least not in the next few days. Xiao Yat said.
Xiao Yi was waiting for a talisman, a talisman that Jian San and even Wangyue Sect did not dare to do to himself easily.
At night, in the southeast corner of the mountain city, in the silent night, Fang Baizhang has been quietly surrounded by nearly 100 guards, Tong Qianjin looked at the people around him, knowing that these people actually do not have much effect, light work to the extent of Yang Yan, unless it is surrounded by hundreds of crossbowmen, it is useless to come to a thousand people to be afraid, you must know that people's light skills can be tossed in the air in a short time.
To put it clearly, the general light power cannot be borrowed in the air, so when the light power is performed, it is one or two zhang away from the treetops, roofs or fences, and only in this way can there be something to borrow the power to move forward at any time, so that the light power can have the fastest speed.
But this Yang Yan's light skill boy has been taught by Qianjin, and he can borrow strength in the air out of thin air. In other words, he can use light power to rise to a height far beyond others in a short period of time, without worrying about falling or slowing down because he can't borrow his strength.
Just imagine, if you can fly at an altitude of more than ten zhang, even if it is only half an hour, how terrifying it would be, and who can catch up? Fortunately, this method of borrowing power in the air is quite restricted, so Yang Yan can only perform thirteen steps.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, only a bright moon glowed faintly, Xiao Yi was dressed in black, standing in the far corner, because there was a congenital master present, so Xiao Yi did not approach, but waited quietly in the distance where his divine thoughts could reach.
