Chapter 8: Undercurrents
Tiancang Mountain is located near the desert in the south, in a remote and sparsely populated area. Tiancang Pavilion is located in the middle of Tiancang Mountain, because it is not livable for people to live in the upper mountains, although there is no green tree, the endless yellow sand also has a unique flavor, and the sparsely dotted sky trees are like twinkling stars in the gray-yellow starry sky.
Nowadays, if the rivers and lakes want to say that the knife technique is none other than Tiancang Pavilion, a set of cloud-breaking knife techniques can be called the best in the sword, but only a handful of them have really been practiced. In addition to the first cabinet that created this set of sword techniques, the current cabinet master is not able to get the essence of this.
The most important thing is to worship the Tiancang Pavilion to learn the knife technique, although the Tiancang Pavilion is located in a remote area, there are some knife lovers who come to learn the art in vain, but most of them have comprehended one or two, and have not shown the power of a knife technique.
In the distance of the yellow sand, three horses were galloping towards this side, and the three people on horseback were all wearing black robes, hats, and black masks to block the faces of the three people, and the three people were roughly the same outfit, but the difference was their own weapons.
"Eh, I said you Yin Ghost also came out during the day?" asked one of the three men holding a bone fan and wearing a half-mask.
"We're just here on the orders of the master. A hoarse voice replied, the man with a two-handed axe peeking out of his shoulders.
"Didn't you get the order too?" said the other coldly, his voice a little rough despite his mask.
This person has a big knife on his back, the knife edge to the handle are made of dark iron, this knife is about nine feet long, the handle alone is more than three feet, and most people will not use large weapons, this knife does not look special, if you really want to say anything special, it is big!
"I just went to the Purple Smoke Pavilion once, and I came to follow you again, the door master is really" The man held the bone fan in his hand and shook it gently, complaining a little.
"Where is all this nonsense!" The man with the knife on his back was a little impatient
"Tianchen, did your young master Xianghan abandon you again?"
The man with the knife paid no attention to him, and raised his whip to urge the horse forward.
"Nanxi Wen, you don't have to say a word!" said the man with the axe in his hoarse voice, and rode his horse to follow.
"Cut, I'm going to go through the motions anyway, I don't care if you two go on your own. Nanxi Wen looked disdainful.
There were more than a hundred and ten steps in front of the gate of Tiancang Pavilion, and two disciples were in the middle of the steps, and the two disciples looked at three black shadows walking slowly.
"Who are you?" one of the disciples asked aloud.
"Get out!" said the man with the long knife on his back, in a solemn tone. The two disciples had no intention of retreating, and stepped forward to prepare to block.
I saw the person carrying the knife, instantly holding the knife in his hand, holding the handle of the three-foot-long knife, and slapping the back of the knife on the chest of the two people, and the two immediately flew out three meters away and fell heavily to the ground. Hearing the noise, dozens of people rushed to surround the trio.
"Tell your Pavilion Master to come out!" the man with the long knife didn't bother to talk to these miscellaneous generals.
"Who are you, what do you want to do?" the leader asked, without healing.
At this time, a person slowly appeared on the upper edge of the stairs, holding a wide-mouth knife, the blade of which was slightly finely made, and it was a good knife.
This person is the eldest prince of the pavilion master, Yan Luoxi is wearing a white robe, his head is tied with a headband, his skin is fair, and his facial features are handsome with a hint of delicateness, if he is not holding a knife in his hand, he will definitely think that he is a scholar.
Yan Luo regretted that the three of them were dressed in black, and they didn't allow their disciples to report and did it first, it must not be a good thing to come here.
"The three of you don't dare to show your true faces, what are you doing in my Tiancang Pavilion?"
"Are you the Pavilion Master?" asked Xiang Tianchen.
"It's not"
"Get out of the way!"
"Tianchen, don't move the knife, we have something to say" Nanxi Wen patted Xiang Tianchen's shoulder. He looked at Yan Luo on the stairs again: "Go and ask your Yan Pavilion Master to come out." ”
Standing on the top of the stairs, Yan Luo ignored them.
Xiang Tianchen dragged the big knife forward slowly, and Nanxi Wen and the two could only follow closely, and dozens of people around him also followed cautiously.
Yan Luo regretted that the three of them had no intention of retreating, and insisted on breaking through, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten.
The three of them had already walked up the stairs, and at this time there was a flat open space between the two steps, and then they went up to Tiancang Pavilion.
Yan Luoxi blocked in front of the three of them, "If the three insist on going further, then first ask Luo Xi if the knife in his hand agrees." ”
"When a guest comes to visit, can't he come out without words?" said the man with the double axe in his hoarse voice.
"My father won't treat the chickens and dogs to thieves, so I bluntly said that a few of them left early"
Xiang Tianchen and the three of them wore masks, but they were scolded as roosters and dog thieves, and looked up at the young man in front of them
"Is your knife fast enough?"
"What?"
Without waiting for Yan Luoxi to react, Xiang Tianchen's nine-foot broadsword was almost in front of him, Yan Luoxi raised the knife to block it, and there was a sound of weapons connecting in the air, Yan Luoxi only felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
Although Xiang Tianchen's broadsword is inconspicuous, he can use such a heavy broadsword to be as light as a thin sword, and his strength must not be underestimated. The big knife is like a wooden in Xiang Tianchen's hand, swinging and slashing freely, after a few rounds, Yan Luo's face is not as calm as before, he uses the knife to the ground, his hands are leaning on the hilt, he gasps heavily, the beads of sweat on his forehead are rising, his face is pale, he looks very tired, and the right hand holding the knife is shaking violently at this time.
Xiang Tianchen carried the big knife on his shoulder as if it was fine, stared at Yan Luoxi and sneered, "Heh, such a slow knife!"
It was too late, it was too fast, Xiang Tianchen carried a big knife and ran towards Yan Luoxi...
"Not good!" the man with the axe yelled.
Nanxi on the side also saw that Xiang Tianchen had murderous intentions! Hurriedly shouted: "Xiang Tianchen, stop it!"
At this time, where would Xiang Tianchen listen to the words of others, and when he was only a few steps away from his words, he took off more and more in the air, and the big knife on his shoulder was also raised above his head, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashing down in the air.
A knife intercepted in the air and blocked Xiang Tianchen's knife, Xiang Tianchen felt a little murderous intent, and took a step back when he landed, the man's knife skills were dripping, and he shot quickly, which made Xiang Tianchen overwhelmed, and the big knife suddenly seemed a little sluggish in his hand.
After more than a dozen moves, the two of them opened up the distance, and Xiang Tianchen's knife-holding hand was cut out of a few cuts, and blood flowed out along his arm to the blade.
"Cloud Breaking Knife Method" Xiang Tianchen squeezed out four words from his mouth, and then looked at the person, who was about forty years old, dressed in a yellow robe, with an elder's respectful appearance, holding a black rope ring knife, the knife was five inches wide and about five feet long, and blood was dripping from the knife edge.
"Who are you, what are you doing in my Heavenly Pavilion?" the man asked.
"Pavilion Master Yan, we came here to let you join Lan Lingluo, and we have no other intentions. Nanxi behind Xiang Tianchen said when he went up the mountain.
Yan Buling laughed three times: "You are here to make me happy? Lan Lingluo? Who is he? Yan has never heard of it. ”
"Lingyun Pavilion Lan Lingluo. Nanxi Wen stared at the words and said.
Words are not good and suddenly shocked, Lingyun Pavilion Lan Lingluo, isn't it rumored that the rivers and lakes destroyed Lingyun Pavilion's Lan Lingluo overnight?
"You mean Lan Lingluo who killed Ling Yunfeng?"
"Exactly!" Nanxi said seriously.
He laughed three times out loud: "Such an ungrateful person, you want me to say someone to belong to me, delusional! If there is nothing else, you should please go back!"
Xiang Tianchen's arm shook, dragging the knife to the ground, clattering, and swinging the knife much faster than before.
Words are not fearless, in the face of Xiang Tianchen's moves, the Cloud Breaking Knife Method is known for being 'fast', although it can't hurt himself, but for Xiang Tianchen's nine-foot big knife attack, Words are mostly defensive.
The two of them were still at a stalemate for dozens of rounds, but they didn't take advantage, the man with the axe on his back pulled out his double axe and stepped forward, and when the disciples saw this, they surrounded it one after another, and there was a scuffle.
Nanxi Wen shook his head, "I really can't stand you" I had to step forward to help, after hitting a few people, I looked at Yan Luoxi in the corner, and kicked several people to come to Yan Luoxi's side, at this time, Yan Luoxi's body had not recovered, and the hand holding the knife was trembling, and I wanted to fight back with a knife, Nanxi Wen knocked the knife to the ground with a fan, and the fan edge was close to Yan Luoxi's neck.
"Stop!" Nanxi Wen shouted loudly.
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked at Nanxi and stopped.
"What are you going to do, let him go!" Yan Buling was a little panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked his disciples to retreat.
Where would Xiang Tianchen care so much, the knife in his hand did not stop, and a knife slashed on Yan Buling's thigh, and Yan Buling suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Pavilion Master!" the disciples shouted.
The person who was held also shouted "Dad!" and wanted to struggle, but was tightly trapped by Nanxi Wen.
"Lord Yan Pavilion is an understanding person, he doesn't want his son to die in front of his eyes!" Nanxi Wen said.
"Something came at me and let my son go!" said Yan Buling, looking at the masked man in front of him, fiercely.
"Hmph, didn't you also compromise in front of Ling Yunfeng back then, why are you so tough today?" Xiang Tianchen said disdainfully.
"Who the hell are you, and what are you going to do?"
"Agree to our terms and let your son go. Nanxi Wen said with a fan.
"If you want me to grovel and attach myself to a villain who will take revenge for his treachery, don't think about it!"
"Then I'll scrap one of his legs first!" Xiang Tianchen picked up his knife and walked towards Yan Luo.
Yan Luoxi watched his father be humiliated for himself, although his heart was a little unwilling, if the foundation of Tiancang Pavilion for hundreds of years was buried because of himself, then what was the point of his own life, he couldn't insult the reputation of Tiancang Pavilion because of himself, Yan Luoxi looked at Yan Buling and shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
At that time, he wanted to borrow Nan Xi Wen's fan to kill himself, Nan Xi Wen noticed a slight change in him, as if he knew his intentions in advance, kicked him in the knee area, and fell to his knees all of a sudden, Nan Xi Wen put away the bone fan, and at this time Xiang Tianchen had already walked to him, and the big knife in his hand was slightly raised.
"Stop, stop!" said Bu Ling, quickly.
