Chapter 25: The Wedge
The moon sprinkled the ground like frost, dividing the cold mountain into three sections of white.
Top white, sprinkle the first mountain bath thunder knife sect, bath thunder knife sect is the world's first knife Lei Duo single-handedly founded thousands of disciples under his command, with a crescent moon rainbow blade across the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but the world's first is always short-lived, just over forty years old, he died suddenly due to cold disease, now the sect master has been in the hands of his righteous son Lei Hu, people into the coffin can not take anything away, the name of the sword emperor is naturally to fall on the head of the living, only leave a crescent moon rainbow blade used before his death can also be called the first in the world, this treasure knife and Lei Duo's spirit card are enshrined in the middle of the spirit hall, since Lei Duo died no longer out of the sheath, the world has not seen its edge, this knife should be the treasure of the town of the Thunder Knife Sect。
Erbai, sprinkle the mountainside to open the pavilion door, and there are hundreds of children in the door. Speaking of opening the pavilion door actually has a great relationship with the Bath Thunder Knife Sect, the pavilion master Nie Yangyuan was originally a beggar, when Lei Duo was still alive and did not open the Bath Thunder Knife Sect, Nie Yangyuan took advantage of his drunkenness to steal a copy of his life's sword technique - Bath Thunder Knife Spectrum. At that time, Lei Duo had reached the top of the sword realm and was no match in the rivers and lakes, and naturally there were many heroes and heroes who should have been addicted to alcohol, and they didn't take it to heart when they were young and vigorous.
Since the death of Lei Duo, Nie Yangyuan was born, although the knife technique is not as good as the original owner, but the six or seven percent of it has been photogenic, because Lei Duo founded the Bath Thunder Knife Sect when the limit is approaching, so the orthodox disciples of the Bath Thunder Knife Sect are only through Lei Duo's oral acquisition of fifty or sixty percent, and after Lei Duo's death, the knife score will be nowhere to be found.
Although they are two factions, they are actually a martial arts master.
Sanbai, sprinkle the Qingshui Taoist Temple at the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen disciples of the three or two disciples in the Guannei Gatekeeper, the main Chiba Taoist and the light are in the same dust and have no quarrel with the world, they like to play chess, drink, and dance swords, and the four are empty. Because the road up the mountain must start from the view of Qingshui Road, there are unreasonable people who play and abuse to see the old road of the mountain, and the people of Chiba Road are optimistic about the view, so naturally they don't care, and others call it so a sentence just laughing.
As the saying goes, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, not to mention that this is still two tigers with a leather cat, especially the bathing thunder knife sect and the open door pavilion have been in trouble all year round, and over time, the matter of one mountain divided into three factions also makes the people of the rivers and lakes sigh.
Twilight is approaching, the evening breeze blows to the top of the mountain with the fragrant fragrance of the leaves all over the mountain, the dense sycamore in the sect dances in the wind, just like the jade maiden's first dress, and the summer insects on the tree are singing, which makes people feel happy.
Lei Hu stood in front of the mourning hall, looking at the spirit card on the table and this peerless treasure knife, and sighed with emotion.
There are too many people in the rivers and lakes, and there are very few people who are equipped with this treasure knife, Lei Hu does not want to end up with the name of a 'violent heavenly thing' to make the world laugh, and he can be regarded as self-aware, he has never been worthy of this knife.
Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the window, a slight footstep.
Lei Hu looked out the window and shouted, "Who's sneaking around there!"
At first, Lei Hu thought that the disciples of the sect had entered the forbidden place by mistake, but after a while, no one answered, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and then a gust of evening wind blew, and the leaves came from the window, and then his brows relaxed slightly.
But just as Thunder Tiger was about to retreat out of the door, there was a slight sound of trampling rubble from the roof, and Thunder Tiger's eagle-like eyes jumped, sweeping towards the roof.
But when it came to the roof, there was no one except for a moon frost and a cool breeze. Lei Hu was wondering who was playing this joke with him, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly stared, his heart sank, and he shouted: "Oh no!"
Hurriedly swept down the house again, and looked into the mourning hall, this slap didn't matter, Lei Hu almost stumbled and fell on the blue brick ground, and he couldn't stand steadily.
The crescent moon blade is gone!
A cool breeze came, and the thunder tiger was cold from the head to the heels, from the skin to the heart.
When the disciples of the Sword Sect heard the sound, they all rushed over, but the courtyard that was originally a forbidden place in the sect was full of people at the moment, and everyone looked at each other, and there was a dead silence.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling from the plane tree, and everyone looked at a cloud of darkness, only to hear a crisp dragon groan, it was the sound of a knife coming out of the sheath, and suddenly a rainbow light appeared, accompanied by a cold wind, and a colorful light stabbed towards the thunder tiger in the crowd!
Just because this light was like a white rainbow in front of the sun at first glance by the moon, everyone had to hide their faces and retreat, before the light arrived, Lei Hu's whole person was already shrouded in knife qi, a knife aura that can make people chill and debon.
Lei Hu didn't want to dodge, he knew that as long as this knife came, he couldn't escape anyway, so he could only stand stupidly.
But at this moment, the rainbow light suddenly stopped, and it volleyed backwards a few times, and returned to the treetops.
Only then did everyone see that it was a half-masked man in black, standing in the treetops, holding a scimitar that was bright and cold in the moonlight.
Lei Leopard, the second sect master of the Sword Sect, let out an exclamation: "Crescent Moon Rainbow Blade!"
When the Great Sect Master Lei Hu heard this, he came back to his senses from Fang Cai's frightened knife, looked into the darkness, and just wanted to say something. I saw the half-masked figure flickering, and the fluttering figure stepped on the branches of the trees and swept down the mountain.
Lei Hu shouted: "Chase me!"
Led by Lei Hu, one side of the people also turned into a black shadow and swept down the mountain.
When I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I saw that a man in brocade clothes also stopped Lei Hu's group with a party, and they were all holding a Ming Huang knife in their hands.
Before Lei Hu could speak, the man in brocade was the first to speak, his face was covered with frost, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Lei Hu, you are so bold, you dare to come back." ”
Lei Hu forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Nie Yangyuan, what are you talking about, I don't understand. ”
Nie Yang said from afar: "Dare to quibble, who else can hold the crescent moon rainbow blade to grab the sword spectrum but you, Lei Hu?"
The second sect master, Lei Leopard, said sharply: "Don't spray people in that bloody mouth, I see that you are clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief!"
Lei Hu waved his hand, shortened Lei Leopard's words, faced Nie Yangyuan, and asked, "You also lost something?"
Nie Yangyuan asked rhetorically, "Didn't you steal it?"
Lei Hu shook his head and continued to ask, "Is it a half-masked man in black with a crescent moon rainbow blade in his hand?"
Nie Yangyuan nodded.
Lei Hu's face sank.
Nie Yangyuan was suddenly stunned and exclaimed, "Could it be that the Crescent Moon Rainbow Blade has also been stolen?"
Lei Hu Eagle's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he did not answer.
Nie Yangyuan looked suspicious and said, "That person is really not you?"
Lei Hu said: "Do you see when I am equipped with the Crescent Moon Rainbow Blade, even if I want to steal the knife spectrum, will I carry such a dazzling knife?"
Nie Yangyuan is like a fish in his throat, and what Lei Hu said does have some truth.
However, due to the seriousness of the situation, the two groups of people have always been deadlocked, and neither can be sure of the other's thoughts.
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from a black mist in the woods, and everyone looked up at the sound.
I saw a tall figure standing in the darkness in the distance, holding a crescent moon rainbow blade in one hand and a quaint parchment book in the other. He still smiled and said: "Today, I came to borrow treasures, and the etiquette is not weekly, and I will forgive my sins!"
Lei Bao looked shocked: "It's him!"
Lei Hu was relatively calm, putting on a fake smile, but in the eyes of everyone, this smile seemed very hideous and far-fetched: "Dare to ask Your Excellency where you are sacred, why did you come to Zhuhan Mountain to do something to steal chickens and dogs, wouldn't it hurt Your Excellency's graceful breath." ”
The man in black waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't afford to be a saint, but I just look up to the prestige of the Sword Emperor in the past for many years, and I will visit and borrow a few things to play with today." ”
Lei Hu said: "It's easy to say, please also ask Your Excellency to talk about it nearby, in the next Lei Duo son Lei Hu, since it is for my father's admiration, we are also far away, the sect has prepared wine and food, and when Your Excellency comes, let us do the friendship of the landlord." ”
A light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he said, "There is wine?"
Lei Hu said: "Of course!
After hearing this, the man in black sighed again and again: "The wine is good wine, but it's a pity..."
Lei Hu said: "It's a pity what?"
The man in black said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that it's a Hongmen banquet!"
The three words of Hongmen Banquet were righteous and solemn, and the man in black turned around and prepared to continue to sweep down the mountain!
Lei Hu avoided the sword as much as possible, which can be said to be a good thing, what he was afraid of was that the man in black in front of him was moody and ran away again without paying attention, but this man in black was obviously not a fool, and this meal was obviously only eaten by fools.
Seeing that the man in black was holding his knife and was about to slip away, Nie Yangyuan naturally couldn't hold it, his body shook, he snatched the knife towards the man in black, and scolded while chasing: "It doesn't matter if you are a god or a ghost, take my knife and don't want to walk out of this mountain." ”
The quality of Nie Yangyuan, who was born as a beggar, is naturally a little worse than others, it can be described as a gentleman's sword, a fierce sword, which is vividly embodied in Nie Yangyuan's body, if you don't talk nonsense, it is to start fighting, Nie Yangyuan has inherited the seven-point realm of the Bathing Thunder Knife Technique, and the speed is naturally extremely powerful.
When the man in black saw someone chasing him, he didn't run away, he suddenly stopped and turned around, didn't use his knife, and let the cold light shoot straight at him.
However, the next scene stunned everyone present.
I saw that the man in black raised a hand unhurriedly, stretched out his index finger and put the blade on his fingertips, Nie Yangyuan's face turned red, and the knife didn't move at all as if it was coiled on his fingertips.
Lei Hu was well-informed for the sect master, and when he saw the cinnabar mole on his forehead that was brightly illuminated, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Finger engraved Loulan! You are celebrating the little year!"
The man in black was shocked when he heard the sound, shaking Nie Yangyuan away for dozens of feet, and without saying anything else, he turned around and turned into a cloud of black mist and swept down the mountain.
Lei Hu was already colorless, and said in a trembling voice: "Chase!
The two groups of people immediately pulled away.
The twilight is deeper, the moon and stars are scarce, the lights have not yet been lit in the Qingshui Taoist Temple, although the evening breeze is urgent, but it can not blow away the heavy meaning of hugging simplicity and truth.
The front and back of the two courtyards, the front view for the Yuan Shi Tianzun, such a Taoist supreme god in such a small broken house with some loose walls and leaky tiles, but the Taoist people of Chiba have never felt wronged. The backyard is where the disciples live, and there is no sound here except for the evening breeze.
When Lei Hu and Nie Yangyuan chased to the front view, the black-clothed man had long since disappeared, and they saw Chiba Daoren and the eldest disciple Liu Chengfeng sitting on the futon in the temple meditating.
Nie Yangyuan swaggered in, with a bad attitude: "Old man, have you seen a man in black?"
Chiba Daoren turned his back to everyone and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was safe.
Nie Yangyuan was a little irritable, he wanted to drive this old man away for more than a day or two.
"Did you hear me when I asked you, how many days have you not seen the dumb man?"
Liu Chengfeng, who was meditating with the master, said quietly: "People didn't see it, but they only saw a dog barking here." ”
Nie Yangyuan suddenly became angry, his originally blue face turned red at the moment, and his hand slowly supported the long knife on his waist.
Lei Hu was cautious when he entered the main hall, his expression was a little restrained, in front of this statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun, he was more or less evasive, first glanced at Nie Yangyuan, and then said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, have you ever seen Qing Xiaonian?"
The attitude is quite polite.
Chiba Daoren slowly exhaled a turbid breath before he said for a long time, "Let's go." ”
Lei Hu's face sank, and he said, "Sure enough, it's him." ”
Lei Leopard shouted, "Gone, where did you go?"
Chiba Michito said again: "Naturally, where did you come from and where did you go back." ”
The people of Chiba Dao played a dumb riddle, and everyone was puzzled by what they heard.
Nie Yangyuan couldn't hold his breath, he always hated that others had something to say, and what he said was something he didn't understand: "The old thing doesn't give me a detour, and quickly say where you hid people." ”
Chiba Michito was silent again.
Lei Hu suddenly looked cold, exuding a cold aura, and he didn't care about any Taoist holy land, and said coldly: "Dao Chief, you'd better tell us where Qing Xiaonian is, if you let us know that you intend to shield him, don't blame the two of us for turning our faces and not recognizing people." ”
Chiba Michito sighed, and his disciple Liu Chengfeng helped him to slowly stand up from the futon and face everyone.
The cheekbones are high, the beard is gray, even a wide and simple robe with a few sewn places can hardly hide its thin, short and rickety body, others look a little worried, for fear that a gust of wind and grass will blow the body in this robe to pieces.
Chiba Michito: "What are you looking for him?"
Nie Yang said from afar: "He stole my sword spectrum!"
Nie Yangyuan, who was sarcastic by Lei Hu, glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "There is also the Curved Moon Rainbow Blade, the treasure of the Zhen Sect of this sect. ”
Chiba Daoren was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "I have only heard that the thief god Jiang Liu'er is good to be a gentleman on the beam, but I have never heard that Qing Xiaonian has taken anything from others." ”
Lei Hu asked, "Does he still have an eye on his forehead?" ”
Chiba Michi: "Not bad. ”
Lei Hu asked again: "Does he still have a trick that can bring down all weapons at his fingertips, and he has a good light skill." ”
Chiba Daoren nodded, not denying it, Lei Hu was not wrong at all, Qing Xiaonian's light skills are indeed the best in today's martial arts.
Nie Yangyuan slapped his palms, his face beaming: "The person who stole the sword book and the crescent moon rainbow blade is definitely him, these characteristics are completely consistent with the man in black, and there are so many of us that none of them can catch up with him." ”
Chiba Daoren also smiled, stroked a wisp of white whisker on his chin, and said, "Then it is even more unlikely to be him." ”
Lei Hu looked solemn and said, "How can I say this." ”
Chiba Daodao: "When have you ever heard of Qing Xiaonian holding a sword?"
Nie Yang said from afar: "But this is a relic of the Sword Emperor, and those who get these two things can match the world." ”
Chiba Daoren shook his head and said: "He never asks for the first place in the world, these things will only startle the girl in Lichun Tower, he is a person who loves to drink flower wine, and that's all he cares about." ”
After speaking, regardless of everyone's consternation, Liu Chengfeng was about to walk out of the Taoist temple.
At this time, Nie Yangyuan's figure flickered, blocking the way of the two, his face was fierce, and he said gloomily: "You just need to tell us where the others are, and you won't worry about anything else." ”
The two of them didn't seem to hear it, and they were about to walk out after bypassing Nie Yangyuan. The latter's eyes flashed with a knife-like fierce gaze, and he stretched out his big hand and grabbed Chiba Daoren's shoulder.
The Chiba Daoist suddenly had a solemn face, and the thin body hidden under the Dao robe burst out with an infinite force in an instant, and he was shaken!
Nie Yangyuan immediately flew out dozens of feet and fell to the ground!
The audience changed color in shock, and the disciples of the Open Gate Pavilion let out an exclamation, and immediately ran towards Nie Yangyuan, who was dozens of feet away.
Lei Hu Eagle stared, his heart was extremely shocked, this was the first time he saw Chiba Dao people make a move, he didn't expect this rickety old Dao internal force to be so strong, knowing that Lei Hu, who was not his opponent, would naturally not ask for hardship, so he could only watch him leave with complicated eyes, until he disappeared from his sight.
Backyard.
Chiba Daoren looked at Du Kang, who was a little distracted by a game of chess and two pots of leftover wine on the table, this was all left over by him and Qing Xiaonian tonight, he never believed that this matter would be done by Qing Xiaonian, even if it was stolen by Qing Xiaonian, he would not betray Qing Xiaonian.
Don't betray his friend, he also learned it from Qing Xiaonian, he finally used it, today he was very happy, picked up the leftover wine on the table, whether it was him or Qing Xiaonian drunk, and took a sip of it.
