Chapter Ninety-Eight: Shushan
Although it is late spring, there is still a chill in the mountains, especially after nightfall, this chill is added a lot, as if the middle of the lake throws stones, scattering ripples, circle after circle, will not stop.
A red bonfire lit up in the forest, dancing restlessly with the mountain wind, like a woman in red gauze singing and dancing, dispelling not only the cold, but also the loneliness in her heart.
Several figures sat around the bonfire, and the faces of the three were reflected in the firelight, weak, resolute, and rough.
"Thanks to Yan Daxia for coming to the rescue tonight, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Qiao Chenan added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, and suddenly there was a crackling burning sound, he looked at Yan Chixia who was directly opposite, and thanked him.
Thinking about the previous scene, it can be said that it was a thousand moments, if it wasn't for Yan Chixia coming at the last moment, maybe he would have been in the Demon Domain of the Underworld at this time, and he was suffering from a hundred ghosts.
Xiao Qian had already gotten into the wooden sign on his waist, and seemed to be afraid of Yan Chixia in his heart.
Ning Caichen also bowed and said: "Thank you Yan Daxia for saving your life, I am grateful, I will not dare to forget this kindness!"
Although he was included in the magic weapon by Qiao Chen'an, he did not experience it personally, but from the latter's words, he could get a glimpse of the critical situation at that time, who would have thought that in just a moment, he would walk in front of the ghost gate, and he couldn't help but feel afraid for a while.
Although he knew that all the matters were caused by the female ghost that Qiao Chen'an saved, he did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, but instead gave birth to a sense of admiration.
He has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and what he has learned and thought is the learning of a sage, teaching people the truth of doing good, Qiao Chen'an's behavior is in his opinion is the way of a gentleman, the way of a sage, and he should be praised greatly.
Yan Chixia smiled when she heard this: "There is no need to thank you, it is my generation's duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao." ”
Qiao Chen'an heard the prestige, and saw that his expression was awe-inspiring, with a confident and high-spirited air in his eyes, and there was no trace of the original decadent appearance, so he knew that what he said before really aroused a chivalrous heart in his heart.
And his appearance here tonight has already explained this problem, even if the red dust is difficult and the world is confused, as long as a sword is in hand, he will be a righteous hero, and he will not bury his heart.
Borrowing wine to kill sorrow is just a manifestation of cowardice, and only singing about wine is a man's style.
Ning Caichen seemed to be a little uneasy, and said, "Will the old demon of Black Mountain chase after him again?"
Yan Chixia laughed when she heard this, and said comfortingly: "This brother can rest assured, that old demon of the Black Mountain is in the underworld, and if his mana is monstrous, he will also be suppressed by the Great Dao." Tonight happens to be the night of the full moon, and it is the time when the power of the underworld is at its peak, so this old demon can take the opportunity to temporarily open a passage between the two realms. Now that the passage has been destroyed by me, the old youkai is powerless to build a second one. ”
Ning Caichen frowned and wondered, "Is there really a hell in this world?"
Yan Chixia's eyes swept Qiao Chen'an on one side, and she had the heart to listen to him, so she said: "Naturally, there are, the six reincarnations are not just illusory, but ordinary people don't know these things." ”
But Qiao Chen'an, who was listening to the side, suddenly said: "Xiao Qian is just a female ghost, why would the old demon of Montenegro rather break through the passage of the two realms and bring her back?"
Yan Chixia sighed lightly, after he said this, he also felt that this matter was a little strange, and shook his head and said, "I don't know ...... either."
"Maybe it's coveting Miss Xiaoqian's beauty......" Ning Caichen said.
Qiao Chenan shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as few people think, judging from the fact that the old demon of Montenegro can open up the passage from the underworld to the human world, his cultivation must be very profound, if he is just greedy for Xiaoqian's appearance so simple, I am afraid that only ghosts will believe it.
There are so many female ghosts in the underworld that I am afraid I can't count them, and I'm afraid I can't find a few more beautiful than Xiaoqian?
But Xiao Qian is just an ordinary female ghost, what is there on her body that is worth thinking about?
I'm afraid only grandma knows about this matter, but it's a pity that he has burned it all away.
Puzzled, Qiao Chen'an simply stopped worrying about this matter, but kept it firmly in his heart, no matter what conspiracy he had, as long as he had enough strength, he could protect the person he wanted to protect.
At the moment, he had something more interesting, he looked up at Yan Chixia, and said with a burning gaze: "I don't know which school of swordsmanship Yan Daxia performed just now?"
Yan Chixia said with a smile: "I am a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Palace of Shu Mountain. The swordsmanship used just now is the one recorded in this swordmanship. ”
He saw that Qiao Chen'an seemed to be quite interested in swordsmanship, and said, "What, the little brother also wants to learn swords?"
Qiao Chenan nodded, "Yes, I wonder if Yan Daxia can teach me this trick?"
Although he got a fragment of the imperial sword technique from Sun Yan, it was just a nice statement, in fact, that book of magic was not even a fragment, at best it was just a miscellaneous talk about the imperial sword technique, and there were very few really useful things, and it was a miracle that he was able to practice to this point.
Sun Yan is just an outcast of Shushan, his status is low, and what kind of good goods can he get, otherwise, when he used the sword before, Yan Chixia should have seen that the two came from the same source.
Yan Chixia shook her head when she heard his words, although Qiao Chen'an had expected it, she still couldn't help but be a little disappointed, generally speaking, this kind of advanced sword method is a secret in the door, and it will not be easily passed on.
Yan Chixia saw the disappointment on his face, knowing what he was thinking, and said with relief: "Little brother, don't be discouraged, my Ten Thousand Swords Palace has rules, and my disciples are not allowed to pass on swordsmanship at will." ”
After a pause, he said: "But if you really want to learn, it's not that you don't have a chance, you just need to become a disciple of my Shu Mountain, and choose a famous sword that suits you in the Sword Insertion Peak, which has its own kendo inheritance." ”
"Insert Sword Peak?"
After some conversation, Qiao Chen'an knew that although there were many cults in Daxia, there was only one family that majored in swordsmanship, and there was a mountain in the Ten Thousand Swords Palace, which was thousands of feet high, and the mountain was full of swords, almost all the famous swords in the world were collected in it, and it was named after the Sword Peak.
After every Shushan disciple has learned the Tao, he will go to the Sword Insertion Peak to choose a sword that suits him, and those who are peerless can be recognized by the famous swords, and realize the inheritance of swordsmanship left in the sword body.
The sword in Yan Chixia's hand is called "Demon Breaking", ranking one hundred and thirty-eighth among all swords, which is extremely rare.
"Although my kendo is good, it may not be suitable for you. ”
Qiao Chenan nodded and said loudly: "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely go to Shushan to have a look!"
Taking people's heads thousands of miles away, such an almost supernatural sword technique is really exciting.
Yan Chixia patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you enter my Shu Mountain, you will call me Uncle according to your seniority!"
Qiao Chen'an's face darkened, and he was very uncomfortable with this Yan Daxia's sudden informality.
Looking into the distance, it was dark, but that was the direction of the future.
