Chapter 8: The Sword Horizon
The dusk of October is still so charming, but Chu Yanxi, who is drunk and sleeping, has now missed it. For killers and swordsmen, they prefer the view of the sunset to the sunrise. In Chu Yanxi's sleep, there is also a same beautiful scenery, the same dusk......
When Chu Yanxi woke up, it was the sixth watch of the second day, and the sky was slightly bright. He opened his eyes in a daze, and patted his forehead with the palm of his hand, as if he were drunk, and scanned the room, where the skeletal sword was still asleep on the table. He staggered to the window and opened it, and it was very quiet, except for the sound of horses grazing. He walked over to the table and picked up the kettle to drink. Then he picked up the skull sword, and hurriedly went downstairs to lead the horse to Qin Feng Mountain......
Chu Yanxi galloped fast, and arrived at Hengshan in a few hours, there is an inn and several tea pavilions under Hengshan, all of which are operated by the people in Hengshan Village. Merchants and ordinary people have to pay protection fees to operate. Chu Yanxi led the horse to approach a tea pavilion, looked around, there were two tea pavilions, and the Hengshan Inn not far away, the business of the two tea pavilions was hot.
Chu Yanxi thought to herself, took a sip of tea and rested for a while, sent the horse down, and went to Qin Feng Mountain with light skills. Chu Yanxi froze and said, "Uncle, come with a pot of high-quality tea...... After speaking, he put the horse on the side of the road, walked to the table and sat down.
The boss was an old man in his early sixties, with a wrinkled face and vicissitudes, a blue robe, and a pair of black shoes. However, the clothes were already grayish-white, and there was a small patch on the back of the shoes, but it was covered by dust. Next to him was a very dark young man, the young man picked up the teapot and cup and hurriedly put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Objectively, you use it slowly, a total of ten cents...... After speaking, he turned around and greeted other guests.
Chu Yanxi was drinking tea quietly, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting from the Hengshan Inn not far away, and suddenly many people escaped from the inn, and the eyes of the tea pavilion drinking tea moved to the Hengshan Inn......
Among the people who escaped, there were some Cang Sect disciples, Xingyi League disciples, and the Cang Sect disciples and Xingyi Alliance disciples outside the inn were separated from each other, and other merchants ran around like headless flies. Then I saw two people fighting, and outside the inn, one was a disciple of the Diancang Sect, and the other was a disciple of the Xingyi League.
After the two fought, they retreated on both sides regardless of the winner or loser. The disciple of the Xingyi Alliance said coldly: "It seems that the swordsmanship of the Diancang Sect is nothing more than that, dare to offend our Xingyi Alliance, I'm afraid that you, the senior brother of the Cang Sect, can't afford it." Today's matter can be settled, but next month, please order the Cang Sect to come and apologize to me in person......! You know, the Xingyi Alliance branch hall is all over the world, I'm afraid there is no place for you......" Before the words fell, the senior brother of the Diancang faction said coldly: "Your Xingyi Alliance is a dignified sword alliance in the world, it is a glorious thing, but it has been ruined by you, on behalf of the Diancang faction, I will definitely go to the headquarters of the Xingyi Alliance to ask for an explanation in the future......"
A disciple of the Xingyi Alliance said angrily: "Dare to talk like this to the deputy hall master of the second hall of our Xingyi League...... I don't want to live, we are the second hall of the Italian League, the hall master is the famous Hua Dengfeng, this is our deputy hall master - Yuan Gai" The voice did not fall, and the senior brother of the Diancang faction said: "What deputy hall master is so unreasonable, although there are many of you today, there are only three people in my Diancang faction, but if you want to fall into our Diancang injustice, accompany you to the end......"
Yuan Gai, the deputy hall master of the second hall of the Xingyi League, said with murderous intent: "Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame me......" After speaking, he slashed down the senior brother of the Diancang faction with a knife, and the two disciples of the Diancang faction took a step forward to protect the senior brother, and the sword blocked the heavy knife, and suddenly the two disciples of the Diancang faction fell to the ground on their knees, they did not expect that Yuan Gai had so much strength.
It didn't take long for the remaining ten or so Xingyi Alliance disciples to attack the three disciples of the Diancang Sect at the same time. At this time, the two disciples of the Diancang faction were getting rid of the slash under Yuan Gai, but when they saw other Xingyi Alliance disciples attacking at the same time, they were at a loss, and Yuan Gai wanted to kill the other party. But the sword of the senior brother of the Diancang Sect stabbed suddenly, and Yuan Gai instantly let go and took a few steps back. The two disciples of the Diancang Sect were attacked by more than a dozen disciples together, and they didn't have time to retreat, and they were splashed with blood from several knives, and the two of them died.
Seeing that the two same sects died at the same time, the senior brother of the Diancang faction was furious and used the Diancang faction's peerless wind chasing sword. He took the sword out of his hand in an instant, and shot at Yuan Gai of the Xingyi Alliance with all his internal strength, and at the same time stabbed Yuan Gai with his middle index finger like a sword, Yuan Gai didn't have time to dodge, and blocked the flying sword with a knife, but the internal force of this sword was too strong, too fierce and too fast, and Yuan Gai was knocked out of a zhang away, Yuan Gai felt paralyzed with both hands, and he did not ease his mind, and the index finger of the senior brother of the Diancang faction turned into a sword, and stabbed Yuan Gai's chest with a tingling pain.
The senior brother of the Diancang faction withdrew his hand and slapped Yuan Gai's chest, Yuan Gai's chest tingled again, his whole body was numb, he was unconscious, and he fell and passed out. The disciples of the Xingyi League were immediately stunned, staring blankly at the corpse of Yuan Gai, the deputy hall master of the second hall of the Xingyi League, one of the disciples said in horror: "Let's go back to the Hengcheng branch hall, and the flying pigeon will send a message to inform the hall master and the headquarters...... Several people hurriedly picked up Yuan Gai's body and ran to the direction of Hengcheng.
Seeing that the disciples of the Xingyi Alliance had dispersed, the senior brother of the Diancang Sect looked around, and everyone was very afraid, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing. Only Chu Yanxi was still sitting on the seat drinking tea.
After a long time, the senior brother of the Diancang faction said loudly: "Below, Xie Qinghui, the senior disciple of the Diancang faction, today the Xingyi Alliance framed the Diancang faction for robbing the merchants' goods, colluding with the thieves to do improper business, and insulting the Diancang faction for not being proficient in swordsmanship, and is not qualified to be called a martial arts faction......! Xingyi League Yuan Gai took advantage of the second hall to ascend to the peak and was not in the branch hall, monopolized the power, and did many evils in the Hengcheng area under the banner of the Xingyi League, which was no different from the bandits and robbers.
Now that he is dead under my sword, Yuan Gai is more than innocent, and I order the two junior brothers of the Cang faction to die in the hands of Xingyi Alliance Yuan Gai, which is also cheap, and Xingyi Alliance" At this time, everyone relented and agreed.
The elder of the first year in the crowd suddenly spoke: "Xie Daxia is right, Yuan Gai also colluded with Hengshanzhai in private to do unsightly things, Hengcheng and Hengshan are all Hengshanzhai in the world, and on the surface, it is the Xingyi Alliance to suppress Hengshanzhai and act chaotically." It's all a scam to cover people's ears......" At this time, everyone echoed: "Yuan Gai should die, Yuan Gai is more than innocent ...... death"
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the dust rolled up like a mist. At the same time, people and horses on both sides rushed like a raging river. After a while, everyone was surrounded and blocked. Everyone was panicked, frightened, and all of them looked like ashes, and even Xie Qinghui, the eldest disciple of the Diancang Sect who spoke categorically, was also panicked......
