Chapter 8 (2)

The young man stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The two heroes of the Huashan faction are invited, and there are many offends before, please include one." The younger brother Kunlun is surnamed Lu Mingqian, and I don't know how the two heroes are called. He was a little older, but he called himself "little brother", which was also a sign of respect.

Li Yijie and Nangong Xue hugged their fists and returned the salute, each with their own names and surnames, and Lu Qian introduced them on their behalf, the surname Yi Hanzi was his master with the "Kunlun Shuangxia", named Yi Zhengxiong, when he was young, his temper was extremely impulsive and irritable, and he almost broke many tasks, and his temperament still did not change when he was old. The old man's name is Wen Zhengwu, martial arts, insight is first-class, won the admiration of all the junior brothers, when the Kunlun faction elected the head of the sect in the past, half of the disciples recommended him to serve, but he was indifferent by nature, unwilling to have more responsibilities to restrain him, so he gave way to the junior brother He Zhengxian. The title of "Kunlun Three Heroes" refers to the three of them. As for Lu Qian, he is just a small follower who travels with the master, but he can't get in line. But because of greed for vanity, every time this title is mentioned, self-congratulatory will be wrong, and he never takes the initiative to explain it to others.

At that moment, the five of them walked out of the building, and after a short walk, they found a barb mark on a towering ancient tree, and the hook head pointed straight to the east. Li Yijie saw that the mark was obviously engraved with his fingers, and he couldn't help but praise his profound skills. Lu Qian was even more proud, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tan is a big disciple of this sect, and his internal attainments are naturally extraordinary. He is the best at swordsmanship, and he will dance with a big sword, but he can't teach the world to be a good man, so it's called good-looking!" Li Yijie knew that that person's martial arts were strong, but when it came to being invincible in the world, it was inevitable to exaggerate. It's just that arguing in person is rude, smiling silently.

Wen Zhengwu was worried that the horses were running quickly, and if he missed the marks along the way, the gains would outweigh the losses, so he ordered everyone to walk together. Each line is not far away, and the marks on the trees can be seen, and the direction never changes.

The five of them walked very fast, and after a few days, the road became more and more desolate, and the weeds on both sides of the road were half a man high. At night, he slept on the side of the road for a few hours, leaving only one person to be vigilant, and hurried with all his strength during the day, Wen Zhengwu and Yi Zhengxiong walked in the head, and Lu Qian walked in a row with Li Yijie and Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue picked up some Huashan Sect's Madhyamaka changes, but in fact, the sword moves that were very powerful and shallow were said to him, but this trick was not used in time, just after she said it, Lu Qian didn't know what to do, and said that the other party gave him everything, so he was grateful. Although he has a bad character, he doesn't want to owe favors, just because of his limited qualifications, it is really difficult to explain the sword moves like Nangong Xue, so he can only recite the mantra of Kunlun's internal strength to the two.

Li Yijie didn't think about it at first, but gradually listened deeply, and the more he listened, the more strange he became. He had been taught some rough martial arts by the head of the Linkong Dao, the root of which was to pay attention to "overcoming rigidity with softness", coupled with the Huashan internal skills he learned when he was a child, and he walked steadily and steadily. Today, I heard that Kunlun's internal strength is different, and the practice is very ingenious, and it is very easy to get started, and you can see a little results. It's just that over time, those who finally lay a solid foundation are better. Li Yijie said in his heart: "If I can refine the internal strength of the three factions, it will be of great benefit to my own cultivation." ”

But everything is easy to do, but it is extremely difficult to act. Moreover, the cultivation of internal strength is the most crucial, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the disaster of going mad. During the night vigilance, he and Nangong Xue discussed in detail, and often discussed for a long time before reaching a consensus. Li Yijie has practiced like this for a few days, although he has not felt that his skills have improved greatly, he has been much lighter when walking, and he also feels that the true qi in the dantian is full when he exercises, and he is very happy in his heart.

On this day, when he walked to an open place, Wen Zhengwu suddenly became suspicious and asked, "Senior nephew Lu, do you look at the marks on the tree, are they all left by Senior Nephew Tan?" Lu Qianben was concentrating on the changes in the sword move, and it was difficult to understand for a while, and Uncle Yu's question turned a deaf ear. Yi Zhengxiong's face sank, and he shouted: "Qian'er, why didn't you answer when Uncle Shi asked you?" Lu Qian was stunned and said, "Ah...... Disciple...... In the way of thinking and martial arts, I didn't hear my uncle's question. ”

Yi Zhengxiong was very displeased, and said: "The way of martial arts, first of all, I must teach you to respect the teacher and pay respects. If you can't even cross the threshold, you don't need to talk about it afterwards. Lu Qian's face turned red, and he bowed down and said, "Yes." Wen Zhengwu persuaded: "Senior and nephew Lu are not disturbed by external objects, it should be said to be concentrated, and the junior brother should not be blindly blamed." After saying that, he repeated what Shicai said, and Lu Qian said: "If you go back to your uncle, you must not be wrong, Senior Brother Tan and his disciples often contact him with this signal, and the disciples recognize it most clearly." ”

Wen Zhengwu bowed slightly, and said: "That's strange, if you go further, you will arrive at Tongguan, where the old department of King Chuang and the Qing army are fighting, but the Demon Sect is making some fun?" Lu Qian thought for a while, and said: "I heard that the sand thieves who caused trouble in all directions have surrendered to the Qing army, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that they have recently gone to the battlefield to attack Li Chuang. Could it be that the Demon Sect is also so useless, and it has also descended?"

Wen Zhengwu muttered: "The Demon Sect has nothing to do with the Qing soldiers, only blindly ambitious, intending to dominate the martial arts, whoever is the emperor has nothing to do with them...... Yi Zhengxiong said: "The Demon Sect and the demons are scheming, don't be suspicious?" Wen Zhengwu exclaimed: "Yes, then let's go quickly! Don't teach Master Tan's nephew to fall for the enemy's tricks!"

Li Yijie stared at a big tree on the side of the road and said strangely: "Come and take a look." After everyone gathered, Fang raised his finger and pointed, and said seriously: "This marking technique has not changed, but the nicks are very shallow, and then look at this number of red, it is difficult to be ......" He just speculated, and did not dare to say it full, but Nangong Xue was straightforward and said: "This is bloodstains! You want to say that maybe the Kunlun faction's Senior Brother Tan was ambushed by the enemy here, and he was already exhausted, didn't you?" Li Yijie hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is what you said, I didn't say it." ”

Nangong Xue smiled bitterly and was about to scold, and suddenly heard Lu Qian shouting "Ahh

Yi Zhengxiong was afraid that something would happen to him, so he shouted: "Qian'er, can you hear me?" only Lu Qian's voice could be heard: "Master, the disciple is fine." Then he leaped out of it, and took in his hand a knife with a handle of dark iron, and the blade was of steel, and it was extremely sharp. Nangong Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's because you have good eyesight, but we don't use knives, that's a pity............" Lu Qian's face was pale, and he said: "No, this is my senior brother's love knife, and I have never left my body, how could I throw it in the grass at will?" There are blood stains too!"

Nangong Xue saw that he looked hesitant and at a loss, and persuaded softly: "Senior Brother Ling's martial arts are strong, and this blood may have been left by him who slashed others." Or maybe he deliberately threw his weapon here to show us the way......" Lu Qian glared and said: "You don't know my senior brother, how do you know his martial arts?" Nangong Xue was bored, feeling that this person was yin and yang weird, and he hated it very much, so he ignored him anymore.

Lu Qian was at a loss, holding the knife and shouting: "Master, this matter only needs to think carefully to know that there is a difference, Senior Brother Tan and his disciples have already had a code, why do you need to throw a knife to warn? Moreover, this knife was given by your old man himself, and Senior Brother couldn't put it down, and once said, 'The knife is in the person, and the knife is ......dead'" When it came to the last word "death", he couldn't help but say it.

Yi Zhengxiong listened to his words, thinking that this disciple Tan Lin was the most outstanding in this sect, and when he first came out of the school in his early years, he subdued the flower thief who was in trouble, and he gave him a treasure knife as a reward. Immediately waved his hand and smiled: "It's just a knife, and it must be done inaccurately." ”

Lu Qian hurriedly said: "But ......" Yi Zhengxiong only shook his head and sighed. Li Yijie patted Lu Qian on the shoulder a few times, wanting to persuade him to be relieved, but suddenly heard a woman screaming, the voice stopped at the beginning, and there seemed to be infinite horror in the voice, it was Nangong Xue's voice.

Li Yijie was shocked, and said in his heart: "If the Demon Sect is willing to come out to fight with real swords and guns, then that's fine, but they are so elusive, if Sect Xue'er is poisoned, it will really be a lifelong hatred!" hurriedly ran up, but as soon as her hands touched her shoulders, Nangong Xue's body suddenly weakened, and she fell into his arms, and she fainted.

Li Yijie called and shook again, and after a while, Nangong Xue woke up and asked softly, "Yes...... Brother?" the voice was low, almost inaudible. Li Yijie hurriedly said: "It's me, Xue'er, are you okay?" Nangong Xue suddenly stretched out her arms around his neck, her small mouth flattened, and she cried out with a "wow", sobbing: "Senior brother...... I...... I'm so scared!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be injured, Li Yijie's heart was a little relieved, and he comforted her a few words warmly, and asked, "Xue'er, what did you see?" Nangong Xueyaguan trembled slightly, and only said after a while: "I'll take you to see it." Holding his hand, Li Yijie felt that her palms were full of sweat, and she was obviously greatly frightened, so she held her hand hard, intending to be relieved.

After running a few steps, he suddenly saw that there were dozens of corpses in front of him, all of them were Kunlun disciples, and each of them threw their blades to the ground in a pool of blood. To say that people in the martial arts live a day of licking blood at the edge of the knife, it is not surprising to see the killing original, but these dead bodies are all cut into several pieces, the stumps and broken arms seem to be shaking, the face is covered with blood, and the eyes are round, showing unwillingness.

Wen Zhengwu sighed: "There must have been a fierce fight here, but the demon sect disciples did not bury the corpses, thinking that they secretly had the intention of demonstrating to our faction." Hey, these disciples would rather die than give in, but die with honor, they are all good disciples of my Kunlun!" Lu Qian saw these many dead corpses of different forms, who were originally brothers who studied the same art in the past, but at this moment, the corpses were lying on the road, and he couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears in a daze.

Li Yijie thought about the tragic situation of the destruction of the Shadowless Villa, but he was afraid that the scene would be excessive, and said hatefully: "The demon sect and demons have caused so many sins, we should pay for their blood debts!" Lu Qian clenched his fists, but after a while, he let go of it suddenly.

Nangong Xue bit her lip and said, "Brother Lu, people can't be resurrected after death, ...... you Don't be too sad, let's see if Brother Tan is among them first?" Yi Zhengxiong took into account Lu Qian's uncertain mood, so he glanced at it on his behalf, but this look was surprised and delighted, and said, "No, Lin Er is not there." Lu Qian shouted: "Senior Brother Tan will never escape from the battle......! He wouldn't do that kind of thing!" Li Yijie said in surprise: "Where did Brother Lu come from? Since Uncle Yi said that Brother Tan is not here, or he is still in the world, he does not know, and he has no intention of insulting him, how can Brother Lu think like this?"

Lu Qian's face turned red, and his heart was in turmoil, and he just thought: "Why do I think like this? Why do I think like this? Is that my true thought? Yes, knowing that it is a dead end, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and it is always important to save his life first, but how can I think of a way to leave?"

Seeing Li Yijie and others dragging the body to the side of the road, they followed everyone forward in a daze, thinking hard. Suddenly, I saw an herbal tea stall on the side of the road, with several tables, and pergolas on its side. But I saw the owner of the tea stall standing on the ground, dyeing all his clothes red from the wound on his chest, and his face was still slightly warm when touched, as if he had just died. Li Yijie said angrily: "The subordinates of the Demon Sect, is it really that they don't have a mouthful?
