Chapter 12 · Proud Sword Villa
The mountains and forests are swinging, the mountains are stacked and green, and the sky is hazy, and the fog gradually rises, covering the beautiful scenery of the forest.
Between the mountains and green forests, there is a faint piece of pavilions and pavilions made of blue bricks and green tiles, which are scattered and side by side, lying horizontally in the mountains.
Proud Sword Villa.
This name is a family in the rivers and lakes that few people think of except for the famous factions. Aojian Villa lives in seclusion in the mountains, and rarely asks about the grievances of the rivers and lakes.
Gongsun Yuan, the owner of Aojian Villa, rested on his usual bed. Unexpectedly, at dawn, someone suddenly came to visit, and I had to wake up gloomy.
In the bluestone hall, Gongsun Yuan, dressed in white and wearing a feather crown on his head, sat on it and tasted the hot tea in his hand. On the wooden chair beside him, there sat a beautiful young woman in a colorful skirt and dark clouds on her sideburns.
Standing under the hall was Lu Qing, who had escaped from the road.
At this moment, Lu Qing stood at the bottom of the hall with his chest puffed up, staring intently at the woman on one side for a long time.
"Brother Lu, I visited my Aojian Villa late at night, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" Gongsun Yuan waited for the tea in his hand to drink up, and then slowly opened his mouth and asked Lu Qing about his intention.
When Lu Qing heard this, he hurriedly put away his hot gaze, hugged his fist at him, and said: "Come at night, how presumptuous, and look at Haihan, the owner of Gongsun Village." It's just that Lu traveled at night, passing through Guizhuang, and had to come to the door as a last resort. ”
Lu Qing was vague, but he said that he was passing through this place, and he did not get straight to the point.
Gongsun Yuan squinted his eyes like knives, looked at Lu Qing for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's okay to come to visit, the big name of Tianlong Village, Yuan, is not at home, and he has heard of one or two, and he is very ashamed of this." And after saying that, he stroked his chin lightly, and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, Brother Lu might as well be blunt and explain his intentions, so that I can open the door to send off guests!"
Gongsun Yuan was obviously not interested in Lu Qing's intentions, and his words were sharp and ruthless, and he just waited for him to explain his intentions, and he wanted to open the door to send off guests.
Lu Qing saw someone's attitude in his eyes and listened to it, but he didn't take it to heart, but he arched his hand and laughed loudly: "I waited for the Eight Heavenly Dragons to come from grass mustard, and we did a lot of dirty deeds, but in the troubled times, in order to survive in the cracks, what's wrong? Lu thinks that although he is not as bright and upright as the owner of Gongsun Village, he is much stronger than those famous factions who are intriguing and fighting openly and secretly. ”
Lu Qing talked eloquently, and his rhetoric was both demeaning and flattering, which won his own face and increased the identity of Gongsun Yuan, which can really be described as sophisticated and sleek.
Gongsun Yuan was noncommittal about this, and he looked at Lu Qing, and then said a little impatiently: "The temple dispute between the big factions of the rivers and lakes, Yuan lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and lives on the border for a while, so he has long been asked. As for who is right and which is wrong, how can you tell me about it, if you are vague and tend to flatter, don't blame Yuan for not saving face. ”
"Hahaha......"
Lip puff and tongue didn't work, Lu Qing snorted. After a while, he took out a blue-covered scroll from his arms and presented it: "Gongsun Zhuang is really fast-talking, then I will speak straight." I came here today for nothing else, thinking that I would offer a peerless secret book and let the owner of Gongsun Zhuang pass by!"
Gongsun Yuan sat in front of the main hall, looking at the quaint scroll in Lu Qing's hand, his eyes couldn't help flashing. After a while, he pondered for a moment, and whispered to the woman beside him, "Wan'er, present it." ”
The woman named Wan'er bowed her head when she heard this, and walked out of the chair and took the scroll in her hand to Gongsun Yuan.
"Underworld Technique?" Gongsun Yuan took the scroll and flipped through it, for a long time, he slowly frowned, looked at Lu Qing and said suspiciously: "This is the peerless secret book you are talking about?"
Lu Qing nodded with a determined expression.
"Hehe, not to mention whether it is a peerless cheat, just talking about the practice context diagram in it, it is already full of mistakes. Presenting the level of cheats, judging from Yuan's countless experience in reading cheats, this cheats is just an inferior grade, not to mention cultivation, even if you practice internal strength, you will go crazy! I think you are sincerely playing tricks on Yuan. After checking the scroll, Gongsun Yuan grabbed the scroll and stood up suddenly. His eyes were sharp, staring at Lu Qing with heavy words, and at the end, there was already a trace of murderous intent. And after saying that, he looked at his words and looks, and saw that Lu Qing was still indifferent, and said coldly: "Or is Brother Lu trying to make Yuan go crazy?"
Originally, in the face of Gongsun Yuan's questioning, Lu Qing was not panicked, but still responded, but the last sentence was murderous. Seeing that Gongsun Yuan was about to take the opportunity to attack, Lu Qing hurriedly clenched his fists and apologized: "Hahaha...... The owner of Gongsun Zhuang has a discerning eye for the torch, which makes Lu admire!"
As he spoke, he took out another thing from his arms and said, "I am just making a slight temptation, and I hope that the owner of the village is not strange, just because the secret book is very precious, so there is this exploration." ”
This time, without waiting for Gongsun Yuan to speak, the woman in the red dress had already approached and took the scroll.
Gongsun Yuan held the second scroll and looked at it silently, and after a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. And he paced, wandered in front of the hall for a while, turned to Lu Qing, raised the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Lu Qing, you are really daring! An dare to use the secret book of Beiyuan Mountain to harm me, do you want to cause trouble to the east and harm my Proud Sword Villa in an unrighteous place? Could it be that I am stupid!"
Although Gongsun Yuan did not leave the mountain, he still heard of the major events on the rivers and lakes, as for the origin of Beiyuan Mountain, as a grandmaster, he naturally knew the inside story, and now when he saw the Beiyuan swordsmanship in front of him, his face suddenly became gloomy.
And after saying that, he gave an order to the outside of the hall, "Come on, take down this thief for me, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"
Before he could finish speaking, four black-clothed guards stepped into the hall.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Lu Qing was not flustered, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Master, I have presented the secret codex, as for the reason, I don't want to say more, this time Lu considered himself unlucky, but it was a pity that the secret book was dusty." And as a kendo master, doesn't the owner want to take his martial arts to the next level?"
Gongsun Yuan sneered, and his sword eyebrows raised, looked at Lu Qing, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you think that Yuan Mou won the Grandmaster, and he still needs this thing to improve his internal strength." Are you underestimating our Feather Flower Sword Book of Proud Sword Villa, or are you looking down on Yuan himself?"
"There is absolutely no such intention! Lu Qing took care of each other with all his heart, just to offer treasures, not to others!" Gongsun Yuan's words were sharp, and his words were heart-wrenching, and Lu Qing was so shocked by his murderous aura that Lu Qing hurriedly explained. And he was afraid that the next moment, Gongsun Yuan would be the killer, and he hurriedly said: "As far as I know, the Northern Yuan sword technique is extracted from the Huanglou Sutra, and it is in the same vein as the owner's feather flower sword classic, or it can complement each other. Lu is only beautiful for adults, and there is nothing wrong with it! Lu can make his will clear with death!"
At a critical juncture, Lu Qing was skillful and tried his best to move Gongsun Yuan, as long as he was moved, he had the confidence to trick him into accepting the secret book.
Sure enough, when he heard that the Pear Blossom Heavenly Sparrow Sword Technique and the Feather Flower Sword Dictionary were in the same vein, Gongsun Yuan's expression flickered inexplicably, and most of the killing intent was dispersed.
Seeing this, Lu Qing lowered his head, and then said: "I know that the owner of the village is fond of swords, but the realm of the grandmaster has never been able to break through, and I got the secret book by chance, so I risked my life to offer the treasure." If the owner can use the secret book as a reference to find a way to break through, then the name of the sword immortal will be at his fingertips. It is the six counties of Da'an, and you can also bow down to the ministers!"
Lu Qingfu spoke for a long time, and every sentence hit Gongsun Yuan's heart.
In the bluestone hall, there was silence for a long time.
Gongsun Yuan carried his back with one hand and pondered for a long time. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Say it...... What do you ask for? ”
Lu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed forward......
......
Just when the two were talking together in the hall, outside the Proud Sword Villa, the mountains and forests were rustling, and suddenly a figure stepped on the branches and leaves, volleying into the sky.
The two guards standing tall at the gate of the villa, sensing the arrival, quickly pulled out the saber at their waists, and said in unison: "Who is coming!"
In mid-air, a figure floated down. And he landed in front of the door, hugged his fists and said: "Lin Quan, the deputy head of the Pear Flower Sword Sect, has something important to visit the owner of Aojian Mountain Villa, please pass one or two." ”
Hearing this, the Pear Flower Sword Sect's expressions changed, and the two guards hurriedly ran into the gate.
After a while, the guard Tong Bing returned, clasped his fists at him and said respectfully: "Senior Lin, come with me." ”
In the bluestone hall, Gongsun Yuan and the woman in the red dress were still sitting in front of the hall, waiting for someone to come.
At the right time, under the leadership of the guards, Lin Quan came to the hall.
When he saw Gongsun Yuan, he hugged his fists unslowly, and said with a smile: "Master Gongsun Zhuang, don't come unharmed after many years." ”
Gongsun Yuan bowed slightly, arched his hand, and said noncommittally indifferently: "After a few years, I never thought that Brother Lin's internal strength would become more and more powerful, and I am afraid that there is only a fraction of a difference between him and his grandmaster." It's just that things are not people, but Yuan has never entered the country, so he has to retreat in the mountains for the rest of his life. ”
Lin Quan didn't care about Gongsun Yuan's unrelenting smile, and he continued to compliment: "Gongsun Zhuang Master don't be arrogant, the realm of grandmasters is rare, that is, the entire Da'an is only ten fingers, and being among them is enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes." ”
Gongsun Yuan's expression was blank, and he had no intention of complimenting him more, he glanced at the latter, and pretended to be tired and said: "Brother Lin has come here this time, why don't you say it directly, Yuan has been sleepy and mentally exhausted recently, and it is inconvenient to sit and work hard." ”
This remark is ambiguous, and for Lin Quan, there is obviously a sense of prevarication. If you haven't seen you for many years, you have to open the door to send off guests, whether it is in accordance with the rules or not, this attitude alone can conclude that Lu Qing is in the villa.
"There is a reason for everything, and I can't understand a word. This time, Lin came to the door in a hurry, and he was attracted by someone. As for the main debt of the villager, Lin didn't want to bother more, and he could leave at any time, but he ......" Lin Quan secretly considered himself, and his expression was calm. After a while, he said inexplicably: "I still hope that the owner of the village will hand over Lu Qing to me, as long as I get someone, Lin will leave." ”
Originally, Lin Quan wanted to inquire more, and then cut it off, but he hadn't seen someone for many years, but he didn't want to be entertained and talked about in detail, as if he was a closed guest.
Even so, he didn't want to entangle more, so he went straight to the point and ordered him to hand over Lu Qing by name.
After that, the two looked at each other coldly.
Gongsun Yuan squinted, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he laughed and said, "Brother Lin, I respect you as a man." But if you want to take someone from my Proud Sword Villa, you have to see if you have the qualifications!"
Lin Quan thought that Gongsun Yuan would deny it, but he never thought that he would be calm, and there was something in his words, obviously he wanted to break the jar and break it, and talk about heroes with martial arts.
Seeing this, Lin Quan smiled faintly, sighed lightly, and continued to probe: "So Lu Qing is returning to the village?"
The right talent is just a temptation, who would have expected that someone would not admit himself, and when he learned that Lu Qing was in the village, Lin Quan was overjoyed, and his anxious heart suddenly fell to the ground.
After the curtain, Lu Qing was covered in cold sweat at the moment, and his hands unconsciously touched the big knife on his waist. He never imagined that Gongsun Yuan promised to protect him, and the next moment he directly betrayed him.
How can the secret book have been handed away, even if someone goes back on his word, he is helpless.
"What if you're here, what's going on if you're not there?" Gongsun Yuan scoffed at someone's inquiry. And he sneered, and then said: "If you can beat the sword in my hand, people, Yuan will give it away, if not, Brother Lin will go back and forth!"
As he spoke, a long sword suddenly appeared from the pillars of the hall and unsheathed.
For the long sword in his hand, Gongsun Yuan has enough confidence, which is the reason for recognizing Lu Qing. With him, it's just Lin Quan, but it takes a few weeks to take it. In this way, even if he knew that Lu Qing was in the village, what could he do, and as soon as Lu Qing left, he would memorize the secret book by heart, and Huo Qing of the Pear Flower Sword Sect would visit him personally, and he would be helpless. It's a big deal to deny it, and besides, it can be pushed to Lu Qing, and there will be no proof of death at that time, everything is just wishful thinking.
As you think, this is also the reason why Gongsun Yuan tore his face and was ready to do it.
Seeing that Gongsun Yuan disagreed, he drew his sword and faced each other. Lin Quan was still calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said coldly: "The master of Gongsun Zhuang has deep internal strength, and Lin thinks he is invincible." However, Lin still said the same thing, hand over Lu Qing, and Lin turned around and left. Or hand over the secret book, Lin and the Pear Flower Sword Sect are not to blame for the past!"
Lin Quan's eyes were cold, and his eyes were fixed on the people in the hall. At this moment, he was extremely sure that Gongsun Yuan was in such a posture, and he did not hesitate to draw his sword to protect Lu Qing, he must have known the secret codex, or had already obtained the secret codex.
Hearing the word secret codex, Gongsun Yuan's cold eyes flashed imperceptibly, and he laughed, took out something from his sleeve, threw it to Lin Quan, and said, "If you want a secret codex, give it to you." ”
Lin Quan's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly took the scroll.
"Basic sword moves?" Lin Quan's face suddenly sank as he looked at the scroll, knowing that someone was teasing him. Immediately, he threw the scroll into the air, and without further words, the long sword in the scabbard was unsheathed.
As the long sword was unsheathed, Lin Quan took the lead in attacking, and with a cold glow, he stabbed at Gongsun Yuan with an arrow.
"Good time!"
Seeing the cold light flashing and coming towards him, Gongsun Yuan smiled arrogantly, and the long sword in his hand also stabbed straight towards the other party.
The swordsman is brave and unstoppable, rather than bending, and he is talking about the moves of the two at this moment.
A simple stab, the victory or defeat is only in a moment, and those who are not strong in their minds, but if they retreat in half a step, it is the separation of life and death.
As the two of them moved, the cold light in the hall flickered, and the woman in the red dress who was sitting on the wooden chair had no choice but to stand up and retreat.
Qiang ......
Suddenly, the cold and mangs were staggered, Gongsun Yuan and Lin Quan froze in pairs, and the scroll slowly fell.
Bang...... Bang...... Bang......
The sword move fell, the two of them did not move, and the tea cup porcelain around them all exploded.
