Chapter 21: Qingzhu tries the sword

A few days later, the mountain behind Lingyun Peak.

In the early morning, in the green bamboo forest, the sun shines through the bamboo leaves on the ground, and the light and shadow sway.

Somewhere in the bamboo forest, a sound of sword collision came from the depths of the bamboo forest, and I saw two rays of light in the bamboo forest, intersecting with each other, and the sword shadow was shining, sprinkled with ......

It turned out that Gu Nanyun and Jiang Yao were competing here to learn kendo, in mid-air, two graceful and light figures, or shuttled between the green bamboos like flying birds, or floated above the bamboo sea, the sword moves changed smartly, and after a few rounds, the two seemed to be evenly matched!

However, looking at this situation, Jiang Yao's sword moves had no intention of attacking, but focused on defense, while Gu Nanyun's sword style was much more powerful, and most of them were offensive in an offensive manner.

Then, the two of them floated to the ground, Jiang Yao withdrew the long sword in his hand, he arched his hand and smiled: "Little junior brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, your swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and my brother was almost defeated in your hands, if it weren't for the mercy of your junior brother, I'm afraid that I will be defeated and lose face!"

Gu Nanyun also withdrew his long sword, smiled a little awkwardly, and said: "There, senior brother, don't laugh at me, I tried with senior brother just now, I can feel that senior brother has no intention of attacking, but he intends to avoid my attack, but I am a little unkind as a junior brother, I hope senior brother doesn't mind!"

He continued: "Senior brother, you only defend and don't attack, but you can smoothly defuse the attack of my sword moves, such a realm, Nanyun is ashamed of himself!"

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Little junior brother, although I was humble in this competition just now, I can feel that you are a little powerless, do you have something on your mind?"

After Gu Nanyun heard this, he looked stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the senior brother to be so shrewd and could see that he had something on his mind.

He thought about it for a while, anyway, it was all seen, it was better to say it happily, he took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, do you know about Senior Sister's marriage?"

After Jiang Yao heard his words, his expression gradually changed from a smile at the beginning to gloomy, making people look a little sad, he didn't know that his junior sister had a marriage contract, remembering the scene when the master married his junior sister to Yin Zhongxuan, a disciple of Cangyun Peak, vividly remembered, and he would remember this matter every late at night......

Today, he can only bury and seal the affection in his heart, maybe he will gradually look down on it after a long time.

Jiang Yao turned his head sideways to look away, his eyes became a little hollow, and he said lightly: "Of course I know about this, why did the junior brother mention it?"

Gu Nanyun observed the change in Jiang Yao's expression, he knew that all along, the senior brother and the senior sister seemed to be the relationship between the senior brother and sister on the surface, and they often quarreled, although the senior brother didn't say it, but from the way the senior brother looked at the senior sister before, the senior brother had always liked the senior sister, but unfortunately, the senior sister didn't know.

Gu Nanyun looked at Jiang Yao, and felt an inexplicable distress in his heart, how much courage it takes to have a crush on someone, although the senior brother has not said it all these years, he must be very bitter in his heart!

He then said: "Senior brother, do you know that Yin Zhongxuan's personality, senior sister doesn't like him, if you marry him in the future, I'm afraid that it will ruin senior sister's lifelong happiness!"

Jiang Yao's eyebrows were furrowed, there was a look of helplessness on his face, he took a long breath, and said: "What if you know, what if you don't know, it's already a foregone conclusion, how can anyone stop it." ”

Gu Nanyun didn't think so, the matter was man-made, he believed that there were some things that could only be done by striving for it, and there would definitely be results! He was a little excited and said, "We can go to the master together and ask him to cancel this marriage!"

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed, once upon a time, he also thought about it, but he couldn't find any reason to mention it to his master, and he was not qualified to take care of this matter.

He buried his head and said lightly: "This marriage was proposed by the master, and it is not easy to say that the master has changed his mind! Moreover......, Jiang Yao wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say it anymore, and finally became silent.

"Senior brother, do you want to say that you have any reason to take care of this matter, right?" Gu Nanyun replied to him.

Jiang Yao stopped talking, still silent, and the expression on his face became tangled and helpless.

Gu Nanyun sat beside him, with an unrelenting expression, and continued: "Just because Senior Brother you like Senior Sister, Senior Sister will marry you if she marries!"

When Gu Nanyun suddenly said that his junior sister was going to marry him, Jiang Yao was a little confused, "Marry him"! These three words made him feel unlikely, in front of his junior sister, he could pretend to be indifferent, in fact, he cared very much in his heart, how much he hoped that the master would cancel the marriage that day.

Maybe one day, he will be able to say the words "I like you" out loud to her!

Jiang Yao turned around and looked at the little junior brother in front of him, from his determined look, in the past few years, the little junior brother has always had the courage to face any difficulties, and has never run away from anything, and he is really ashamed of himself for this alone.

Emotionally, he is cowardly, he doesn't dare to face up to his innermost thoughts, he keeps running away, and it's a mess!

Jiang Yao fell into the memory, his face was stunned, so he said quietly: "The matter has come to this, I don't want to hide anything from you, junior brother, since the day I started, I have fallen in love with my junior sister, all along, I have been by her side every day, we practice swords together, eat together, and often quarrel, in the eyes of outsiders, it is like a brother and sister, I am afraid that even the master thinks so!"

Then he sighed and continued: "It's a pity that Master has already married her to someone else, even if I tell her now that I like her, I don't think it's possible for the two of us, I'm afraid that in the end, I will lose the friendship with the door!"

Gu Nanyun opened his mouth at this time: "Senior brother, I believe that Senior Sister also likes you, but you don't know, Senior Brother, don't be discouraged, there are some things that you have to fight for yourself, let's go and tell Master to ......"

As soon as Gu Nanyun finished speaking, suddenly the bamboo leaves around the two of them shook violently, brushing and brushing, and the two of them subconsciously stood up and pulled out the long sword in their hands, thinking that it was a beast that suddenly attacked!

When the two of them looked at the sky above the bamboo forest not far away, at this moment, they saw a man standing on the bamboo tops in the air, appearing in front of them, the man was gorgeously dressed, the breeze blew his robe and long hair, at first glance, it seemed that there was a bit of immortal appearance, who was that man not Yin Zhongxuan of Cangyun Peak?

Yin Zhongxuan's face was arrogant and condescending, looking at Gu Nanyun and Jiang Yao on the ground, a pair of peach blossom eyes were forced to shoot, only to see that he was carrying a long sword, and there was a faint black gas flowing on the sword body, it seemed that this posture was going to fight!

When Gu Nanyun and Jiang Yao looked at Yin Zhongxuan in the sky above the Bamboo Sea, this made them feel a little surprised, the green bamboo forest has always been hidden, few people know about this place, how did he come here?

At this time, Yin Zhongxuan had a look of contempt on his face, he pointed at the two of them with one hand, and shouted: "This blue sky and white day, talking about my future wife here, do you know what shame is!"

As soon as Gu Nanyun saw Yin Zhongxuan, a wave of anger surged in his heart immediately, he amplified his voice, and said, "Hey, it's you who should be ashamed! My senior sister said that she won't marry you, but you are wishful thinking, why are you so thick-skinned!"

He continued: "Besides, you are not qualified to care what we say, let alone eavesdrop on other people's words behind your back, is this how your master taught you to be a human being?"

"You ......" Yin Zhongxuan's face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Stinky boy, Senior Sister Lan'er doesn't want to pay attention to me, it's you kid who is chewing the root of your tongue, see that I have to teach you a good lesson today!"

Gu Nanyun spread his hands, pouted helplessly, and said with a smile: "Did you listen to what my senior sister said that day, everyone said that they hated you since you were a child, why did you wronged people, just your virtue, don't say that your senior sister doesn't like you, men will retreat when they see you!"

Yin Zhongxuan knew that Gu Nanyun had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, thinking that his bickering with him was nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation, he said angrily: "Boy, I can't compare to you when I quarrel, if you are a man, you can compete with me!"

"Come on, who's afraid of whom!" Gu Nanyun finished speaking, wanting to be a battle......

Jiang Yao was beside him, two steps crossed in front of his body and blocked Gu Nanyun, at this time, Jiang Yao did not have the previous decadence and frustration, but his face was furious, he said: "Little junior brother, you step back first, let me deal with this person, senior brother!"

Yin Zhongxuan narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at Jiang Yao carefully, so he laughed "haha" and said, "Yo...... I got a helper, didn't I?"

Then he said: "This should be a senior apprentice under Uncle Song, Senior Brother Jiang, you and I have had a few encounters, I don't want to do anything to you, you still let that kid come to the battle in person!"

Seeing his smug look, Jiang Yao sneered: "Senior Brother Yin, this is Lingyun Peak, and as Senior Brother Nanyun, how can I not care about it!"

Yin Zhongxuan had long heard that Jiang Yao's swordsmanship was superb and his strength could not be underestimated, but now he couldn't care about it so much, and if he didn't fight today, he would be ridiculed by that stinky boy.

He said: "Senior Brother Jiang, I respect you as a brother, if you insist again and again, then I am not welcome, I have long heard that Senior Brother Jiang's skills are extraordinary, and I will learn it here today!"

"Look at the sword!"

He immediately summoned the immortal sword behind him, and the black light flourished, and from the moment he held the immortal sword, it was like an arrow from the string that quickly flew straight in the direction of Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao's eyes widened angrily at this time, and the swift sword was reflected in his eyes, and seeing that he was about to shoot towards him, he also sacrificed the immortal sword in his hand to resist.

Gu Nanyun only listened to Jiang Yao and said, "Little junior brother, get out of the way quickly, be careful of being injured by the sword qi!"

At this moment, Gu Nanyun jumped to the other side with a sudden flash.

And now, in the face of Yin Zhongxuan's surging momentum, Jiang Yao jumped up, fluttered lightly and flew into the air, and then he reacted to the polar body and made a tilting movement in the air, just avoiding Yin Zhongxuan's fierce stab.

Yin Zhongxuan's long sword stabbed into the air at this moment, and because the sword qi was too strong, it hit the ground, stirring up layers of sword qi ripples, and the bamboo leaves scattered on the ground immediately exploded and flew out in all directions.

For a while, the sky was full of leaves, and the wind suddenly rose......

Jiang Yao's whole body stayed in mid-air, he held the long sword tightly in his right hand, and danced a few sword flowers in the air, and the sword body burst out with blue light, which made people look a little dazzling.

Yin Zhongxuan knew that Jiang Yao had avoided it, he looked up at the air, kicked up a green bamboo with his left foot, and instantly shot towards Jiang Yao in mid-air.

Then, the two sword lights were intertwined, accompanied by the collision of swords, several sparks flashed in mid-air, and a few green bamboos on the ground were only heard to explode, and then the green bamboos broke and fell to the ground!

Yin Zhongxuan's eyes were like cold electricity, his long sword was like a rainbow, and every time he slashed, he hit Jiang Yao's vital point directly, wanting to put him to death and hurry!

On the other hand, Jiang Yao, in the face of such a sharp sword momentum, seems to be steady and dexterous, although there is no offensive momentum, but every move can resolve the deadly sword, it seems that between the strategy and the strategy, the soft and the rigid are evenly divided at the moment, regardless of up and down.

Yin Zhongxuan saw that Jiang Yao's sword style was only defensive and not attacking, and he dealt with his various fierce attacks in an orderly manner, seeing that he was handy, and he seemed to be being dragged by him all the time, and the situation seemed to be a little passive, which made him pounce every time, because of the consumption of the true yuan in his body, he gradually felt that his body was a little weak.

He can't fight with him like this, and he should fight as quickly as possible.

Gu Nanyun watched the two rays of light in the sky above the bamboo forest intertwined and fight, flying like a dragon and roaring, and then looked at the dancing sword of the senior brother, seeing that the victory and defeat were about to be decided.

"Senior brother, that's good!" Gu Nanyun applauded loudly.

Jiang Yao, who was fighting with Yin Zhongxuan in mid-air, felt the opponent's ruthless sword momentum, and knew that the opponent's strength was not ordinary.

He roared loudly: "Senior Brother Yin, such a ruthless move, kill them all, what is the difference between you and that cult demon?"

Both of them withdrew their sword moves at the same time, and retreated backwards in the air, landing on the bamboo sea respectively, standing upright opposite each other.

Yin Zhongxuan's forehead was sweating slightly, the long sword in his hand was pointed at him, and he sneered: "Hmph, since ancient times, the sword has no eyes, and death and injury are inevitable!"

Jiang Yao felt a little ridiculous, and asked: "You and I are from the same family, you disregard the friendship of the same family so much, and want to treat me as an enemy to death, what is your intention, I will never let my junior sister marry you!"

Yin Zhongxuan seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "It seems that I guessed correctly, Senior Sister Lan'er didn't ignore me because of that stinky boy's instigation, but because of you, I'm afraid you liked Senior Sister Lan'er for a long time, if it weren't for you, I might have stayed with Senior Sister Lan'er a long time ago!"

After Jiang Yao heard this, he said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, if you have the ability, let the horse come!"

Yin Zhongxuan didn't want to say anything to him at the moment, he just wanted to defeat him as soon as possible and let Senior Sister Lan'er know who was the best candidate for her.

I only saw him get up and fly, holding the fairy sword in his hand, pointing to the sky, the dark clouds covered the sun, the sword danced, a huge water dragon appeared around him, rotating around his body, a beam of light rushed into the sky from the tip of the sword, the water dragon climbed straight up along the pillar of light, and suddenly turned into a monstrous wave, condensed into ice.

I only heard him read in his mouth: "Tianyun Yuan moves, leads the dragon out of the water, condenses the spirit, and slashes the cold ice seven times!"

Gu Nanyun stared at the two people above Zhuhai, and when he saw Yin Zhongxuan using this true trick, he couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Yao.

This sword technique is the second-level true method "Seven Slashing Cold Ice Technique" in Yunhua's true method, and its attack power is extremely strong.

In the Yunhua Sword Sect, some ordinary disciples have not cultivated such true methods in their entire lives, and only those with slightly higher qualifications can learn it, but if they have a low cultivation, they can only get a first glimpse of the door, and it is difficult to exert their maximum power, while the disciples with high qualifications can integrate it, and the power they exert is naturally more powerful.

According to the different levels of cultivation of each person, resulting in different levels of energy, when casting such a true method, the caster needs to unite their minds and minds and master the essentials in the meantime, otherwise the slightest carelessness will definitely cause a backlash and kill them!

Gu Nanyun couldn't have imagined that this Yin Zhongxuan had actually cultivated to the second-level True Law Seven Slashing Cold Ice Technique, but how powerful it was, it would depend on him after he used it, thinking that he had also cultivated the first-level True Law Immortal Heart Flow Wind Technique, and he had just passed through the skin, but there was still a big gap compared to the Seven Slashing Cold Ice Technique in front of him.

Yin Zhongxuan was ready to attack, and shouted, "Senior Brother Jiang, take it!"

He stayed in the air, and the immortal sword slashed violently in the air, and the monstrous huge icicle shot in the direction of Jiang Yao.

When it was too late, Jiang Yao was on guard, and he also used a stunt, the third-level true method in the Yunhua True Method, the "Chaos True Yang Technique"! I saw that he was surrounded by a large mass of fire, the raging fire seemed to be like a fierce beast roaring, several round fireballs flowed around the sword body, and the blue sword light was dazzling, and this fire was intertwined.

Immediately, a ball of fire erupted into a huge icicle that flew towards the opposite side, the flame was like a fire dragon unstoppable, and suddenly there was a loud "bump", the fire dragon collided with the icicle, emitting a strong light wave, and the surrounding green bamboo collapsed a large piece and burned.

Yin Zhongxuan saw that Jiang Yao had resisted this fierce blow, he quickly swung his sword again, and the second monstrous icicle continued to shoot at Jiang Yao, but the raging fire on the opposite side seemed to be inexhaustible, in the fusion of water and fire, colliding and fighting.

In this way, Yin Zhongxuan slashed the sword seven times in a row, and when it was completed for the last time, due to the excessive impact, the two took a few steps back, and after a fight, the two sides fell to the ground from the air.

Yin Zhongxuan's body was greatly depleted, and with a sound of "wow......", he spit out a mouthful of blood, he barely used his sword to support his crumbling body, his eyes glared at Jiang Yao fiercely, only to see that Jiang Yao's face was a little pale, but he still stood like a pine, quietly looking at Yin Zhongxuan's side.

At this time, a few disciples of Cangyun Peak appeared out of nowhere and helped Yin Zhongxuan up.

Those disciples thought that they had come to pick up Yin Zhongxuan, and when they saw that their senior brother had been defeated, they all exclaimed, "Senior brother, are you okay?"

Yin Zhongxuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no major problem.

He coughed a few times and chuckled, "Haha...... I didn't expect that Senior Brother Jiang, your skills are extraordinary, and you are worthy of being the proud apprentice of Uncle Song, and today you were defeated by your men, but you are also happy!"

When Gu Nanyun saw Jiang Yao landing, he immediately ran over, observed Jiang Yao's body to see if he was also injured, and confirmed that he was fine, so he was relieved.

He looked at Yin Zhongxuan's side, and said with a playful smile: "Hey, it's good that my senior brother's subordinates are merciful, if you focus on it, I'm afraid you will return here." ”

Yin Zhongxuan was originally injured and in pain all over his body, but now when he heard Gu Nanyun's words, the qi and blood in his body surged, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost fainted.

Jiang Yao looked at Yin Zhongxuan and the others, and at this moment he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he said coldly: "You guys hurry up and help Senior Brother Yin go back to Cangyun Peak, and don't come to my Lingyun Peak to make trouble in the future!"

After that, the disciples of Cangyun Peak didn't say anything, and they wanted to help the injured Yin Zhongxuan away.

A few people walked away, and Yin Zhongxuan turned his head slightly, looking at Jiang Yao, his voice was a little weak at this time, and he said, "Senior Brother Jiang, although he lost to you in today's competition, he will definitely come to ask for advice in the future!"

He squinted at Gu Nanyun next to Jiang Yao, and said with some unwillingness: "Stinky boy, if you have a helper today, you will be considered lucky, but you won't have such good luck in the future, just wait!"

Gu Nanyun wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Jiang Yao's gesture, and they watched Yin Zhongxuan limp away from the green bamboo forest and gradually disappear in front of them......

Gu Nanyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior brother, you are so powerful, you beat that surnamed Yin to vomit blood, looking at his embarrassed appearance, you are really happy!"

Jiang Yao shook his head slightly, and said, "I hope that after today's events, he can improve, and stop being arrogant!"

Gu Nanyun said with some disdain: "Change it, look at his virtue, hehe...... It's hard to say, the defeated generals are still very hard!"

Jiang Yao didn't listen to Gu Nanyun's words just now, and he didn't say anything more, but he quietly raised his head and looked at the sky above Zhuhai, as if he was seriously thinking about something, and fell into deep thought......
