Chapter 7 Nangong Qianlan
After the young man in white went down the mountain, he started the light exercise method, tossing and running all the way, it was almost night, and his body began to be a little tired, and he was a little overwhelmed by the exercise all the time. Looking around, I found that this was a wilderness, and the sky was dark, and I couldn't rub my direction for a while.
On the left, there is a poplar forest, and there are several undulating graves in the dense forest. The breeze rustled through the branches and leaves, and the darkness was accompanied by a whistling sound like a ghost crying wolf. Although the young man in white is a martial arts practitioner and does not believe in the legends of ghosts and gods in the world, he can't help but feel a chill behind his back for a while, and he is secretly frightened.
After identifying the direction, I found that there were several carriage traces in the poplar forest, which were very clear, and I thought that this road was made by walking all year round, so I settled down and walked towards the road.
I don't know how long I walked along the road, the sky has entered the middle of the night, this way is extremely calm, the true qi in the body has also recovered almost, late night is the best time to practice the inner strength, at this time the human body is in a meditative state, if you can exercise for eighty-one weeks, the internal strength cultivation will be more and more intensive.
Passing through a hill in the poplar forest, just two steps away, the mountain wind sent a noisy voice. With the cultivation of the young man in white, his ear power is very amazing, and from a distance of a hundred steps, he can clearly distinguish the direction from which the voice is coming.
Jun looked around and saw that there was a ball of fire dancing not far from him.
Now that I am lost in the wilderness, and I don't know where I am, I go up and ask first. The young man in white thought about it and said secretly in his heart. He is new to the rivers and lakes, he is still inexperienced, and he really can't bear a heavy responsibility, he doesn't want to deliberately contact any force, after all, his identity is too complicated.
Approaching, the young man in white clearly saw dozens of figures and a carriage sitting next to the fire. These ten figures were dressed in the same uniforms of the family, with blades hanging from their waists, and it was obvious that they were the forces of the martial arts family.
What surprised him was that the first middle-aged man with slightly thick arms was not weak, looking at his tiger-like appearance with both arms, he must be a master of practicing foreign skills for a long time and going on three roads.
"Who?"
When the young man in white was hesitating, the other party found him. The middle-aged man turned his head abruptly and shouted. Everyone quickly pulled out their weapons at their waists and followed the middle-aged man's line of sight.
The young man in white was startled, paused slightly, and walked towards everyone. smiled and said: "Hehe, don't panic, everyone! In the lower clouds, I came to see it when I got lost and saw the firelight." ”
Seeing that the young man in white first signed up for his own number, he looked like he was in his early twenties, with an innocent handsome face and a plain dress, but he didn't look like a bad guy, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man at the head frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiaoyun, what sect are you?"
"I don't belong to any sect disciple!" Xiaoyun said unhurriedly.
"Since you don't belong to any sect disciple, why did you deliberately come here late at night? Didn't you see that this carriage was hung with the flag of the Nangong family?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, pointed to the sea of clouds pattern hanging with a curtain on the carriage, and said sharply.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood! I haven't heard of the world for a long time, so naturally I don't know the Nangong family. It's just that he wants to ask for directions through the way, and he has no other intentions. Xiaoyun said indifferently, he had no intention of disturbing, but he didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant. The Nangong family must be a not weak force in today's martial arts!
After hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sneer: "What a kid who hasn't heard of the world for a long time, he doesn't even recognize the Nangong family of the four major families of martial arts, today I will let you have a long experience!"
Before the words fell, the middle-aged man's hands moved, the five fingers of his hands turned into claws, and he appeared in the shape of a tiger, and his body was like a hungry tiger pounced, grabbing towards Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun Jian frowned, and his face was slightly gloomy. The other party deducted him for no reason, and he did it directly, presumably this Nangong family is usually used to it outside!
Before he could think about it, the middle-aged man's attack came head-on. Xiaoyun's expression did not move, and he saw that his right hand was in the shape of a sword, and the move was very simple, and the shot was as fast as lightning, and he pointed at the palm of the opponent's tiger claw.
The moment the two came into contact, the middle-aged man's hands and claws stiffened, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was purple and blue and extremely ugly.
Pedal Pedal Ped
The tall figure of the middle-aged man took a few steps back, and the hand that was hit kept trembling, as if he was unconscious. On the other hand, Xiaoyun's face was calm, and he withdrew his offensive, and he stopped at the end of one move, and he was in the middle of the range.
"Your Excellency has already been hit by me, if you forcibly use the exercises, it will only hurt the shins!" Xiaoyun said helplessly.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his heart was shocked. The foreign strength that he is usually proud of was broken by the other party's move, and the technique was extremely neat. In the Nangong family, he is also a person with a head and a face, and some elders in the family fight against him, and it takes at least twenty moves to defeat him. This man looks young, but he is very skilled.
The middle-aged man was about to speak, when a woman's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.
"It's a wonderful trick, Shaoxia's finger skills have some Shaolin school martial arts foundation that doesn't need to be fingered, but what you are making is a two-finger sword shape, and using your fingers to make qi, presumably there is a very high level of cultivation in the way of the sword. ”
As soon as the woman's voice fell, the middle-aged man and a family guard were stunned for a moment, and then squeezed back, standing respectfully on the side of the carriage, not daring to slack off. It seems that the woman who spoke in the carriage had a very high status in the Nangong family.
Xiao was even more secretly shocked in his heart, with his strength, he didn't even notice that there was someone in the carriage before the fight. Martial arts people generally cultivate to a high level, and they will hide their bodies, and it is true. Then he said: "The girl is too famous, I have no sword in my hand, why is the girl so sure that she is a kendo master?"
The corners of the woman's mouth in the carriage arced with charming grace, and said: "If you have a sword in your hand, I am afraid that these ten guards under me will not even have a chance to make a move!"
Swish!
The middle-aged man and a group of guards looked at Xiaoyun with a look of horror on their faces. I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Nangong family, who usually cherishes words like gold and has a very high vision, has such a high evaluation, this is the first time they have seen each other. The middle-aged man touched his arm, which was slowly returning to normal, and was secretly glad in his heart, if it weren't for the mercy of the other party's subordinates, it is estimated that the trick just now would have invalidated him.
"Being able to understand the martial arts made in Xia in such a period of time, the girl is really a heroine among women, and I admire it!" Xiaoyun had to admit that the other party was able to catch the martial arts he was good at before he made a full move, and based on this alone, it can be seen that this woman is extraordinary, and I don't know what level the other party's internal cultivation has reached.
"The young man does not belong to any sect or sect, and as far as I know, there is no surname Xiao among the famous families..."The woman in the carriage was silent for a moment, a little puzzled.
Xiaoyun said: "I haven't learned yet, and I'm not among the famous masters!"
"You don't belong to any sect, and you're not among the famous families. Dare to ask where the young man is taught?" the woman asked with some interest.
"The family teacher is a hidden person, and the teacher is jealous, please forgive me!"
"Oh..."The woman was a little disappointed in response, and then said: "I see that the young man is in the dust, there must be something important and he is in a hurry, where is he going?"
"Miss Lao asked, on the way to Lan Yan City, why did she enter the martial arts for the first time, I don't know where to go, and I hope the girl will tell me, Xiaoyun is grateful!"
"Lan Yan City?"
The woman in the carriage frowned slightly, and the middle-aged man and a guard also looked at Xiaoyun with a strange look on their faces when they heard the name.
Seeing the other party's expression, Xiaoyun couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and wondered: "Does the girl know where this Lan Yan City is?"
After a moment of silence, the woman in the carriage said: "I grew up in the Nangong family since I was a child, although I don't travel everywhere, but I know a little bit about the big and small things in the whole martial arts, as for the Lan Yan City that Shaoxia said... There is no such city in the martial arts!"
"What?"
Xiaoyun looked startled, and his heart shook wildly. There is no such city in the martial arts, what is the purpose of the letter left by his father? Lan Yan City does not exist, where to go to find the green shirt swordsman, this is the only clue he has found the four evil old men to destroy the door, and now it is broken as soon as he comes down the mountain. Such a blow will be difficult to accept for a while.
Could it be the letter left by his father ten years ago, Lan Yan City still exists, and it has disappeared in the middle of the past ten years, leaving no trace like the destruction of the Chu family? This is the only common denominator that Xiaoyun has found. Moreover, with this woman's identity and temperament, there should be no need to lie to him!
Seeing that Xiaoyun was a little out of shape, the woman in the carriage thought about it and said slowly: "In recent years, there has been a rumor in the rivers and lakes that has caused some uproar. It is said that an unknown city appeared in the Hanging Mountain, which was extremely mysterious and gorgeous, and was rumored to have the reputation of being the first city in the world. Many martial arts people went naked to look for this city, but none of the people who went out to look for this city have returned, and so far, no one knows the whereabouts and specific location of this city. ”
"The most beautiful city in the world... There is such a strange thing!" Xiaoyun Jian frowned slightly, this matter was estimated to be much more complicated than he imagined. When Shizun handed over the letter to him, he did not say the specific location of Lan Yan City. Presumably, even Shizun didn't know about the existence of this Lan Yan City, and just handed him the letter entrusted by his father. Then he asked, "Does the girl know where the Hanging Mountain where this mysterious city is located?"
"You're going to look for this city too?" said the woman in the carriage in surprise.
"Yes!"
"As I said just now, none of the people who went out to look for this city have returned, and it's not the Lan Yan City you said. ”
Xiaoyun said resolutely: "Thanks to the girl's reminder, I understand!"
"Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say! However, before that, you have to go to the Jiangnan Famous Building to find out the location of the entrance to the Hanging Mountain, because I don't know either. ”
"Jiangnan Famous Building!"
The woman in the carriage said: "Yes, the famous building in Jiangnan is the place where the martial arts dragons and snakes are most concentrated, the place where the heroes gather, where the news is well-informed, Xiao Shaoxia will get more information when he goes there." This goes to Yangzhou and walks along the official road, about fifty miles!"
Xiaoyun nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for telling the girl, I don't know the girl's name?"
"Nangong Qianlan!"
"Qianlan, a good name, the so-called graceful flowers and green leaves are long, and the wind is difficult to hide the fragrance in the valley! The girl's kindness is as good as her name. Xiaoyun teased.
"As the saying goes: The good people of the ancients are subtle and mysterious, and they cannot be recognized! ”
When Xiaoyun heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Qianlan and Zai Xia have never known each other, and they can tell each other honestly and remember it in their hearts. I'm pretending to be disturbed here late at night, and you'll see you later. ”
After speaking, Xiaoyun did not linger, and slowly walked up the official road in front of him. Before leaving, he glanced at the curtain of the carriage, he was a little curious, what does this Nangong Qianlan look like! But unfortunately he couldn't see the face, and he felt a little regretful. As soon as he took a few steps, his figure disappeared into the night like a ghost.
"Big... Miss, Xiao Shaoxia is walking so fast!" Everyone was in a trance, and Xiaoyun disappeared without a trace.
The woman in the carriage slowly opened the curtains, looking at the place where Xiaoyun left, revealing her graceful face under the moonlight, her handsome face was extremely delicate, about early twenties, but she looked mature and charming, without girlish youth, and even the guards on the side couldn't help but secretly take a few more looks.
"This person's internal cultivation is estimated to be not under the eldest lady, when did such a young master appear in the martial arts, do you want to send someone to check his origin?" The middle-aged man led by him said respectfully, and he still had some lingering palpitations about Xiao Yunshang in his heart.
Nangong Qianlan smiled shallowly, with a charming smile. said: "No need, with his skills, sooner or later he will become the target of the younger generation of martial arts, and it will not be difficult to find him when the time comes." One more enemy is better than one more friend. ”
"That's what the eldest lady said!" the middle-aged man nodded, not saying anything more.
"Lan Cheng Cheng... Interesting. ”
