The young swordsman seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in fact he was vigilantly observing the movements around him. The five women behind him were already talking and laughing, and each of them had a beautiful smile written on their faces. If you let others look at them, you can't see that they are warriors who can fight to the death against the murderous enemy.

"I don't know whether to be happy or sad, even women have gone to war. The young swordsman slammed his feet, and in an instant he saw that many wild flowers were shaken away from their stems and flew into the air. Immediately, the long sword in the young man's hand slashed through the air. In an instant, I saw that the long sword was divided into eight sword shadows, shuttling between the flying flowers.

Each petal was evenly divided into two halves by the sword shadow. Not to mention the big flowers, even the small star-sized flowers of corn. Several girls were stunned by the young man's dazzling swordsmanship, and suddenly the young man collected his sword in the rain of broken flowers in the sky: "If you want to go to the battlefield, it's not too late to go home and practice your swordsmanship to this level." ”

A girl said: "If you want to practice swordsmanship to this point, I don't know what year and month, and the battle will be over at that time." ”

Hearing this, the young swordsman muttered quietly, "Is it so difficult, I just ask you again with the level of kendo when I was six years old." The young man was puzzled, when he suddenly heard the muffled sound of a man falling to the ground behind him. He looked back and saw that the woman surnamed Xue had already fainted. Her face was pale, her lips were black, and her complexion looked extremely ugly.

The young swordsman walked over and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with her?"

The four girls were all a little panicked, and one girl said, "Sister Xue, could it be that she ate that heartbreak!"

"Lose your heart!" The young swordsman was also shocked when he heard this, he heard that the martial arts fellow in Lingnan had to bring a bottle of strong poison when he went to battle. This poison seals the throat with blood, and after eating it, it has two effects, the first is to avoid humiliation after being captured. The other is a person who takes this medicine, and his body will be assimilated into a strong poison after death.

The young swordsman looked at the fallen tiger corpses beside him, and said secretly in his heart: "She probably wants to die with them." Immediately, the young swordsman said, "Do you have an antidote here?"

The fourth girl shook her head, and one girl choked up: "The antidote is only available in the barracks, but if you go back now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

The young swordsman's face changed when he heard this, he first turned his head to look back, and he saw a huge flame demon god with his feet on the ground, and the sky above his head was roaring in this direction.

"Not good, enemy reinforcements are coming. I'll take her back to the barracks first, and you'll be right behind me, so don't be left behind. The young swordsman said that he didn't dare to delay any longer, he picked up the woman surnamed Xue, and ran forward. The four girls glanced at each other, and then looked at the Flame Demon God who was rushing towards this direction at great speed, and their eyes gradually became firm.

Then they stood up and walked towards the flame god. But before they could take a step, a flying sword slashed through the sky, severing the flame god's arm with a single sword.

The demon god fell to his knees, but before long, his severed arm grew back. At that moment, the sword flew back and circled around the four girls.

The young swordsman ran at a high speed in front of the woman surnamed Xue with his arms, and read: "Although Daoist Lu's swordsmanship is a bit fancy, it can be regarded as a little useful. Then he used his true anger and shouted behind him: "Come back alive, otherwise others will say that I, Li Minji, can't even protect a few women." ”

At this time, I only saw the cloud curtain hanging low, and the wind and rain were coming.

"It's going to rain. Dou Huaisheng looked at the black clouds that gradually gathered over the distant mountains and said. At this moment, a fluttering butterfly flew from the window and landed on the window.

Dou Huaisheng smiled and said, "Butterfly, you also know that it's going to rain, don't you?" Don't worry, if you want to hide from the rain, this house will be for you to live in. After that, Dou Huai suddenly remembered the two of them again: "Is Xiaohua okay, has Sister Tangerine found the eaves to shelter from the rain?"

Just as Dou Huaisheng was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open. He looked back and saw only Boss Huang Danhuang.

Boss Huang smiled: "The meal is ready, little brother come down and eat some." ”

Dou Huaisheng smiled and said, "Thank you Boss Huang, the juniors will go down in a while." Hearing this, Boss Huang smiled and retreated with the door. When Boss Huang's figure disappeared, Dou Huaisheng's face became solemn. As far as he is concerned, he will still be skeptical of what Boss Huang said.

According to what Boss Huang just said, in addition to the destruction of these post stations, those martial arts families who had participated in resisting the sixteen countries in southern Xinjiang were also affected. This is resolutely intolerable for Dou Huaisheng, who was born in Jiangmen.

"But how credible is Boss Huang's words? They did everything possible to get me to the way to the post station, did they just want me to know about the tragedy that happened back then? Or are there other secrets? Or did they just want to use me because they made it up out of thin air? If so, then they know me very well. But who leaked my news to them? If the government had known where I am, they would have sent someone to arrest me. ”

After thinking about it, Dou Huaisheng looked at the long sword in his hand, and seemed to have some understanding. Suddenly, he said to the butterfly that was still on the window, "Now we can only go on, don't you say?"

The butterfly didn't know if it understood Dou Huaisheng's words, only that it had flown away now. At this moment, a drop of rain fell and hit the butterfly's wings. Hit it crumblingly.

"It's raining. ”

Dong Ping watched the good Caixia turn into a dark cloud, and then a big drop of rain fell, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored. He drank all the wine in his cup, watched the three women in the courtyard hurriedly collect their clothes, and smiled unconsciously. As everyone knows, his Dong Ping's mood is much more fickle than the clouds in the sky. At this time, he turned his head and said to Lin Sanchuan, who was resting with his pen behind him: "You are lucky, I originally planned to leave for Chengdu tomorrow, but it seems that this rain is not small, and we will continue to delay here for a few days." ”

Lin Sanchuan smiled when he heard this: "If I had known that it would rain, then I wouldn't have worked so hard, this arm is sore, but it's similar to practicing martial arts for two days and two nights." ”

Although he said so, Lin Sanchuan picked up the pen again and continued to write.

"In that case, then I'll take this bowl of stewed chicken away, and the appetizers that Kangchuan kid bought can't match my son's appetite at all. Lin Sanchuan raised his eyes and looked, and at some point, the bowl of chicken had already been served by Dong Ping.

"Mother, where did the old hen that laid eggs go at home?" Zhang Yuansheng, who was drenched in water, stood in the courtyard and shouted to Yin Suge, who was picking vegetables in the house.

Yin Suge said without raising his head: "It's stewed." ”

Zhang Yuansheng was happy when he heard this: "That's right, I'm hungry." Mother, I have to eat that chicken leg. ”

"It just so happens that I have a chicken leg in the pot. ”

Zhang Yuansheng walked into the house when he heard this, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, only to see a bowl in the warm water accumulated in the pot, and in that bowl was a chicken leg and a bowl of rice. Zhang Yuansheng should pick it up and gnaw it, bite it twice, and then eat a bite of rice. Yin Suge smiled and said, "You eat slowly, be careful of choking." ”

Zhang Yuansheng stuffed the chicken leg into his stomach after dividing it by two, and half a bowl of rice was swept away. Then he looked at Yin Suge and said, "Mother, why does the old hen have one leg left?"

Yin Suge said with a smile: "My mother eats a lot, so I eat it all." ”

Zhang Yuansheng smiled when he heard this: "My mother works hard all day long, and she should eat more." ”

Yin Suge nodded at Zhang Yuansheng's head and said, "You, don't want to think about it, can my mother eat so much?"

Zhang Yuansheng frowned when he heard this: "Where did the rest of the chicken go, could it be ......?"

Yin Suge interrupted him and said, "Don't think nonsense, after the chicken is stewed, I will take out a few bowls and send them to the villagers who always take care of our family on weekdays." There is also a bowl, which was sent to your master. ”

Zhang Yuansheng said excitedly when he heard this: "Mother, have you seen my master, what is he busy with, why don't you come to our house?"

Yin Suge smiled and said, "Your master naturally has his own things to be busy with, if he is not busy, he will come to see you." When I came back, your master asked me to urge you to practice martial arts diligently. Tomorrow he will come and check on you. ”

Zhang Yuansheng patted his chest and said, "Mother, you can rest assured." I practiced outside all day today, and I didn't even have water. Tomorrow Master is here, and I promise to surprise him. ”

Yin Suge listened to Zhang Yuansheng quietly, she glanced at Zhang Yuansheng from time to time, her eyes were full of love.

"By the way, mother, you don't know, I saw something strange today!"

"What a strange thing, tell my mother about it. ”

Zhang Yuansheng suddenly said with a straight face: "Just now I was practicing martial arts on the bank of the river, and I was about to come back. Suddenly, I saw a black canopy boat coming from a distance. As soon as the boat came, a mist rose on the river. Then he saw two men flying out of the boat. Then I saw several rays of light circling around the two of them. I think the two of them are jogging with swords. ”

Yin Suge asked, "How do you know?"

Zhang Yuansheng smiled: "Because I can feel the sword intent." ”

Yin Suge burst out laughing, "You, what matters now is to learn martial arts from your master, but don't be ambitious." What kind of sword intent, that's all in the mouth of the storyteller. ”

"Mother, don't believe it, I saw that Master's palm could breathe fire yesterday!" Zhang Yuansheng looked at Yin Suge's face full of astonishment, and couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm going to sleep, boy." When Master comes tomorrow, I will surprise him. With that, Zhang Yuansheng walked out and entered his house.

After Zhang Yuansheng left, it took a while for Yin Suge to come back. She stood up and scooped some warm water into the half bowl of rice that Zhang Yuansheng had left. He took out half a plate of pickles from the kitchen cabinet behind him, and ate the rice as porridge.

"When I went to deliver meat to Aunt Ren today, I heard her say that someone saw several charred corpses floating on the river in the morning. Could it be ......" Yin Suge shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.

At this point, the rainstorm has arrived.

"Good swordsmanship!"

"I can't imagine that in just a few days, your swordsmanship has grown to such an extent. ”

The two men standing on the river collected their swords, turned and jumped back into the canopy boat.

Looking at the river surface that was constantly rippling by the torrential rain, a young man smiled and said: "I didn't expect that because of a group of villains who were careless about people's lives, they should have arrived in Chengdu now, and Brother Xiao and they have also arrived in Lin'an." ”

Another middle-aged man nodded and said, "We should also work harder, now maybe Dou Huaisheng is no longer in Shu." ”

"More than two months have passed since the news was issued, and it is reasonable that Uncle Xiao is not in Shu at this time. But we can't let go of any clues, according to the eyes of our academy in Lin'an, there is no news from the government that the little uncle has been arrested. In this way, we will have a chance to find Uncle Xiao. After the young man said that, he looked at the middle-aged man who was looking at the river in the distance and said, "What is Master Cao thinking?"

"Oh, Jade Book. I was thinking, if I didn't have important things to do, I really wanted to go to the White Emperor City and have a fight with the sword god Li Minji. Back then, when Li Minji was famous and powerful, my Jianxu once sent an invitation to him. And make an exception for him, making him the eleventh sword master. Do you know what he said?"

"The students don't know. ”

He said he had nine swords. If he enters the Sword Ruins, he will have to occupy the position of the nine sword masters. Otherwise, the matter of letting him enter the Sword Ruins will not be discussed. The old sword master naturally couldn't agree to his request, but later the old sword master also blamed himself for a long time because the sword ruin had lost a talent. ”

Feng Yushu smiled when he heard this: "The old sword master's personality is really admired by the students, but when that sword god says such words, it also means that he does have that strength. ”

Cao Renyou nodded and said, "Yes, but unfortunately, not long after Li Minji got the title of Sword God." The Li family in their Shu suffered a catastrophe of annihilation. ”

Feng Yushu frowned and said, "The students have also heard about this, but the students are not puzzled. The Li family in Shu is also one of the best kendo families in the southern rivers and lakes. In addition to Li Jianshen, his father and several uncles are all sword masters, who has this ability to wipe out his Li family with a sword in one night:"

Cao Renyou shook his head and said: "No one knows about this, but there is one thing that has something to do with the destruction of the Li family." ”

"Please teach Lord Cao Jian. ”

Cao Renyou said: "After the Li family was wiped out, a total of twelve family sects in Shuzhong and Lingnan were attacked and seriously damaged. After that, these twelve sects and families retired from the rivers and lakes, and no longer asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

"What does the Li family have to do with those twelve families?"

Cao Renyou said with a smile: "Twenty years ago, the Li family and these thirteen families assisted the army of the king of Shuzhong to resist the invasion of the sixteen kingdoms in southern Xinjiang. These thirteen can be regarded as heroes on the rivers and lakes. ”

Feng Yushu pondered for a long time when he heard this, and then said coldly: "Could it be that these thirteen families have suffered from the revenge of the sixteen countries in southern Xinjiang?"

Cao Renyou nodded and said, "Maybe." ”

If so, it doesn't make sense. Since they had received retaliation from the Sixteen Kingdoms of Southern Xinjiang, why didn't they ask for help from the Shuzhong Palace, but instead retreated to the rivers and lakes?" Feng Yushu was puzzled.

Cao Renyou smiled: "Maybe this is the national soldier, since the war in southern Xinjiang was pacified, and since they were retaliated against, ten years have passed." They should have wanted to keep the peace between the two sides and not fight again, and suppressed the matter. ”

Feng Yushu was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Master Cao, you said that Li Jianshen will open the ring again this year, can you keep the title of Sword God?"

Cao Renyou said with a smile: "That's natural, Li Minji, but the old sword master values people very much." ”

Feng Yushu bowed slightly, and suddenly, he clenched the long sword in his hand. Since the Boundless Mountain Villa came out, Feng Yushu has not stopped cultivating day and night. There are too many powerful people in this world, if he doesn't work harder, how will he provoke the pillars of the academy in the future.

At this moment when the two were chatting, the light boat had already swung over the ten thousand mountains, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Boss Huang waited in the lobby for a long time, and when the food was cold, he didn't see Dou Huaisheng coming down.

"It's not good, could it be that the poison has flare up again!" Huang Dan frowned, and walked quickly upstairs. When he pushed the door and walked into Dou Huaisheng's house, he found that the room was empty, only the window was open, let the wind and rain blow.

"It's not good, it's not good! If she knows this, it won't pull my skin out!" Boss Huang paced two steps in the room before he came back to his senses and jumped out of the window. In the raging storm, Dou Huaisheng's clothes were already soaked. He frowned and ran as fast as he could.

I don't know how long I ran, but finally a room appeared in front of him that could shelter from the rain. Dou Huaisheng hurriedly ran into the house, and as soon as he entered, Dou Huaisheng heard the sound of ticking.

One drop, two drops......

It's completely different from the sound of raindrops falling outside.

Dou Huaisheng let go of his lightly clasped hands, and a turquoise butterfly flew out.

"Thank you. ”

Immediately, Dou Huaisheng looked at the bed where the curtain was lowered, only to see a tender white arm hanging weakly from behind the curtain. A blinding bright red slices across his arms and finally dripping from his fingers. One drop, two drops...... Eventually it accumulates into a pool of blood.

Dou Huaisheng stepped forward and opened the curtain of the bed, and saw that the person he had in his heart just now was already in a pale coma on the bed. A three-inch-long wound appeared on her delicate arm, and it looked so shocking.

"Sister Tangerine, I'm here. ”

Dou Huaisheng gritted his teeth and bandaged the wound for the honey orange. He used the grass and trees to send a few mouthfuls of true qi to him, and after feeling the pulse of the honey orange stabilize, Dou Huaisheng relieved his heart.

After another half an hour, Honey Tangerine opened her eyes leisurely. When she saw Dou Huaisheng who was guarding her with an anxious face, she smiled sweetly.

"Sister Tangerine, who hurt you, how did you come here, if I hadn't noticed that something was wrong with that butterfly, I really couldn't find you. ”

Honey Tangerine moved her lips, and when she was about to speak, Dou Huaisheng covered her lips and made a silent gesture to her. Immediately, a red shadow flashed through the door.
