Volume 3 If You Know Chapter 8 Sword Qi Turns Frost and Snow
The second battle between Zhao Wu'an and Su Qinghe happened at the head of the sunset building, with few spectators, and it was obviously able to end quickly but it dragged on for a long time, and of course, ushered in the same result.
After more than 300 moves, Su Qinghe, who was covered in a green shirt soaked with sweat, had a black face, and threw the ancestral sword of love to the tree without pity, and then sat down under the root of the tree, took the cowhide water bag handed by Jiang Lian and drank it.
Zhao Wu'an quietly withdrew the magpie tread branch into the sword box on his back, and didn't even dare to play the trick of the flying sword. After all, this is on the avenue outside the inn, and although there are few pedestrians on the road, it is far from safe. Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, since it was just an ordinary exchange, Zhao Wu'an would never risk driving a flying sword in front of people.
Hu Buxi put on a flattering face just right, and offered flattery and praise in time: "It's really worthy of being the boss, within a few days of sealing the sword, martial arts has not regressed in the slightest, and when he makes another move, he is still so smooth and terrified!"
Zhao Wu'an tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Be quiet." ”
Although he has always admitted that his talent is not outstanding, it is also compared to the geniuses of Hu Buxi and Jia Lan An Xulie. Jialan Anxulie is self-taught in Luo Shen swordsmanship, and he can control the Bodhisattva Barbarian in the first year, but he will not be able to control the lightest of the six swords until he is seven years old, when facing those Khitan iron horsemen who are heading south.
Not to mention that Hu Buxi is a knife maniac. Those who advanced to the second-grade realm before the age of thirty, the person in front of him was only afraid that Luo Jianqi.
Compared with these people, Zhao Wu'an is obviously not talented, nearly twenty-eight years old and only in the middle of the second grade, and his martial arts skills are mediocre. But compared to a martial artist like Su Qinghe, who has neither chance nor talent, it is already an unattainable speed.
Su Qinghe's talent and fate are not low, after all, he is also a descendant of Su Changdi, and he has been proficient in martial arts since he was a child. It's just that compared to martial arts madmen like Nie Xinglu and Hu Buxi, who are obsessed with their ways, Su Qinghe seems to be quite unpopular.
In the battle of Qingdi Township, he couldn't say that he didn't use all his strength, but he was somewhat ignorant of the depth of his opponent, and he had a lot of worries about his sword. And in front of the tower at dusk today, Su Qinghe's sword was indeed merciless, but he was never able to break through the defense woven by Zhao Wu'an with only a magpie tread branch in his hand.
Zhao Wu'an confirmed that the red box behind him was closed, and then walked slowly to the tree where Su Qinghe was sitting, unloaded the sword box, and sat down against the trunk of the tree.
Su Qinghe moved to the side with a cold face.
Zhao Wu'an smiled: "I have been to Hangzhou. The affairs of the city are complicated, and it is reasonable for him to be busy with political affairs and neglect martial arts. ”
The sunset shone obliquely, and a new leaf on the top of the head cast a dense shadow at the feet. Trekking through the rivers and lakes, the soles of Zhao Wu'an and Su Qinghe's feet were stained with large and small mud and sand.
In the distance, Hu Buxi held the knife in his arms and waited patiently on the wall. Jiang Lian inevitably seemed a little in a hurry, while directing Yi Niang to enter the inn to handle the hotel affairs, and at the same time probing his brain here, I don't know if I should disturb the conversation between the two.
Su Qinghe said angrily: "In Hangzhou, it is more leisurely than when I was in Huaixi." I have never been unfamiliar with the swordsmanship handed down by my ancestors, and I get up early and practice every day. ”
"The reason why you can't compare to me is not because of swordsmanship, but because of kendo. ”
After Zhao Wu'an finished lazily, he caught a glimpse of Su Qinghe's loveless look, and hurriedly said sincerely: "Don't be angry! Although there is no subtlety in the Luo Shen sword technique, this realm of controlling the sword and doing whatever you want can only be done with an extraordinary sword heart. ”
"Swordsmanship refers to the use of the sword, and kendo refers to the understanding of the sword, do you mean that?" asked Su Qinghe.
Zhao Wu'an thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Almost." ”
After all, although he inherited this Luo Shen Sword, he didn't dare to say that he had even one-tenth of the comprehension and feeling of Luo Jianqi and Lin Yun. What you say and think can only come out of your own heart.
"You don't understand your feelings enough. He said seriously, "Although I am one level higher than you, but I have not taken the sword out of my hand, which means that there is no gap." One day, if your understanding of love surpasses that of me, you will probably be able to defeat me who can't control the sword. ”
Su Qinghe squinted his eyes and glanced at him, his face full of suspicion: "There is a realm difference between controlling the sword and not controlling the sword?"
"When I was in the third grade, I didn't taste defeat against the second-grade master, what do you say?" Zhao Wu'an smiled bitterly, spread out his palm, and showed Su Qinghe countless subtle scars in his palm, "The Luo Shen Sword is difficult, but the most difficult thing is not to use the sword but to control the sword, these scars were all left by me before I was five years old, and at that time, I had never even succeeded in controlling the sword even once." ”
Su Qinghe frowned, as if he had an understanding: "So you talk about the way of the sword, is it because the sword needs to be supported by the sword first?" If there is no transcendent sword way, there is no way to control the sword, and it is no wonder that for many years, flying swords have only existed in legends......
"yes. Zhao Wu'an sighed with emotion, "In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, what an incredible thing it is to get rid of the sword." ”
Su Qinghe was silent for a long time before he said, "The first time I saw such a scene, I was actually taken aback. ”
"Huh. Zhao Wu'an unabashedly expressed his disdain.
Su Qinghe's complexion, which had just turned a little better, turned cloudy again, and said with a complicated expression: "Zhao Jushi, you are really ...... Extraordinary. ”
"You too. It is extraordinary to be able to find me in this chaotic landscape. Zhao Wu'an leaned lazily on the trunk of the tree, squinting his eyes at the cripping sun that was gradually falling, "Black and white, plus the Great Song Emperor sitting in the palace, I don't know how many people in this world want to look for me." ”
Su Qinghe hesitated for a moment before saying: "At the end of the year, on the way back to Beijing to report on work, I took a trip back to Qingdi Township. Calculate the day, it should just be walking with you before and after, and I guessed that you would come to Luzhou to inquire about the news, so I sent someone into the city with a fast horse and took care of it in advance. ”
Although Hu and Zhao's feet are not slow, they don't need to use all their strength to carry light skills when they are not fighting for life and death, so it is reasonable that they are not as fast as a fast horse.
"Antihath told you?" Zhao Wu'an asked.
Su Qinghe nodded with a complicated expression: "Miss An's family is already going crazy, and I think her father and mother can't hold her for a few days." ”
"Don't panic. If she goes out of the country alone, she is afraid that she will not even recognize the road. Zhao Wu'an sighed leisurely, "When I finish my big business, I will go back to Qingdi Township to find her." ”
"Is that good?" asked Su Qinghe.
"What's wrong?"
"My grandfather also made up his mind back then, and after capturing the sixteen states of Yanyun, he returned to Yangzhou with Xie Hui and played chess all day long. Su Qinghe hesitated, "Saying goodbye without saying goodbye on your own initiative, and apologizing when you meet again, may be a kind of hope for you, but Miss Yu An's family is nothing more than torture day after day......"
"Since you're looking for me, you can't just because of this. Zhao Wu'an sat up and changed the topic lightly.
Su Qinghe's unfinished words stopped, and he glanced at Zhao Wu'an helplessly, and sighed: "The two Zhejiang have changed, but it should be regarded as good news." That day, I broke into a restaurant outside Hangzhou to conduct a thorough investigation, and I got the roster of Luo Yige. ”
"Oh, this is a blow to the Black Clouds, and their bargaining chips with Dongfang Lianmo have been reduced by another point. Zhao Wu'an nodded, "Killed the Pavilion Master?"
"No, Lord Luo Yige is on the run. But judging from the clues found behind the hotel, it should have run in the direction of Bianliang. Su Qinghe said, "Fishing with a line." Since the pavilion master escaped by chance, he will inevitably go to find the location of the helmsman of the Black Cloud Society, and according to the nature of the helmsman, it is very likely that the headquarters will be located near Bianliang. ”
"So, what did you find me for?" Zhao Wu'an asked, "Find the Pavilion Master from the clues?"
"I left Liangzhejiang in the name of going to Beijing to report on my work, but in fact, I secretly went to track down the traces of the lord of Luoyi Pavilion. "Su Qinghe said," Up to now, 12 groups of people have been mobilized from Huaixi, Liangzhejiang, and Jiangnan, blocking all the traffic arteries to Bianliang, and arresting more than 40 people in Luo Yige according to the list, and almost all of them from A to C have been arrested. ”
"But it didn't work. Zhao Wu'an said, "If you don't kill the pavilion master, Luo Yige will die and not fall, and in a few days, a group of first-class and second-class assassins will emerge." ”
"So I need your help. Su Qinghe said sincerely.
"Any clues?"
"I only have a directory, but it doesn't have the name of the cabinet master on it. Su Qinghe stood up and took off the sword hanging from the treetops, "It's right there for my subordinates, now I'll take you over to see it." ”
Zhao Wu'an followed him to stand up, picked up the Luo Shen sword box and put it on his back, and wondered: "What's the matter, one by one, don't you put the vital things by your side?"
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating. Su Qinghe said the same words as Jiang Lian with an indifferent face, "What's more, wouldn't it be better to use it as bait?"
Zhao Wu'an's posture of carrying the box paused.
Then, he curled the corners of his mouth at a rare sight, and couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"No one dares to be. Su Qinghe responded lightly and walked into the inn in front of him.
————————
It was a starry night sky, although it was summer, there was still a trace of coolness on the Linxian stone.
Mo Dao carried the sun-biting knife that was still a little too heavy for him, and slowly stood at the front of the Linxian Stone, plucked up his courage, and looked down at the broken beads and splashed jade below.
What happened here a month ago seems like it was just yesterday.
Liu Zhilei, who had been following the pressure closely, refused to slow down the offensive for half a minute no matter how he complained, and finally made Mo Dao realize that something was wrong.
From Liu Zhilei's dark and deep eyes, Mo Dao could now clearly glimpse a trace of scarlet. He finally realized that the second young master was no longer the second young master. Even if he sacrificed his own sword with blood, Liu Zhilei would not be able to get free.
And above the heads of the two, Dongfang Lianmo, who was standing at the source of the waterfall like an immortal, always smiled implicitly, as if he had nothing to do with this human world.
but to control their life and death.
But why did he have to obey this evil martial arts alliance leader? Why did he try his best, whether he was the second young master, but he couldn't get a good life?
From beginning to end, all he wanted to do was live well.
In despair, Mo Dao slashed a counterattack. With just one knife, it slashed at Liu Zhilei's neck.
And Liu Zhilei, who has always been as strong as wind and thunder, and is incomparably sharp, was actually defeated by this knife. The fierce attack of his whole body dissipated in an instant, and his body fell from the suspension bridge and fell into a bottomless pool.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Dao survived, but he couldn't see anyone except Yue Zhishu for a month, and he could only practice his sword skills in the hut. This Tangjiabao always made him feel a little insincere.
Tonight was an exception, Dongfang Lian Mo allowed Yue Zhishu to come to this Linxian Stone, saying that he wanted him to see the most beautiful scenery in the world.
He originally thought that Dongfang Lianmo was referring to a waterfall, but when he stood on the top of the Linxian Stone and looked down, he didn't think it looked good at all, just some meaningless splashes.
Looking up at the night sky, although there are stars overhead, the rolling hills and mountains under your feet are pitch black, and it is almost impossible to see.
Yue Zhishu, who was behind him, suddenly exhaled like an orchid: "Look carefully." ”
Mo Dao was stunned, and didn't know what she was referring to for a while.
Then.
Thousands of ice crystals, frost and snow, rising from the plains, cascading straight to the top of the hills. A pitch-black earth, in an instant, flourished like a starry sky in the sky, and the astonishing spirit rushed to the face, and the killing machines were scattered in the wind.
Mo Dao was secretly shocked in his heart.
The frost broke through the wind and went straight to Tangjiabao on the mountainside. In the night sky, an old woman's voice sounded.
"Dongfang Lian Mo, the poor road will seal the sword for less than twenty years, a sword tonight, vowing to take your life for the sake of this mountain and river!"
Three thousand sword qi.
Instantly turned into fierce frost and snow.
