Volume 2 The Sword and the Wine Chapter 30 A Wisp of White in the Night
There were countless sword qi fluttering in the sky above Fengting City, which was ten thousand times grander than any previous opening.
After the sword was unsheathed, it was a night event carefully arranged by the City Lord's Mansion.
Fengting City suddenly became lively.
The sound of the street applauding the wonderful amusement, the shouting of the roadside vendors, and the sneering of the flames of the lanterns lit on the shore of Shenjian Lake...... Even those world-famous bigwigs mostly chose to go to Wind Court City to participate in this huge opening ceremony in person.
On the shoulders of the black-clothed Great Dan Sheng, a cute little girl was choosing sugar gourds, the Heavenly Wolf King and a young man in a fiery red robe who did not look like the Central Plains pushed the wheelchair boy Xiao Tao to watch the street parade with relish, and the thin Qingyi Qi Liang Shen went to Shenjian Lake to light the lanterns......
All in all, at the wonderful moment of the opening night, in this Fengting City, those legendary big people, or the powerhouses in the sword world, as long as you are careful enough, you will find that they are just ordinary people, and they also have their own yearning for beautiful things.
The medicine king of the world would accompany his little apprentice to bargain on the street, the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty would be speechless because of his niece's sarcasm, and the dignified Nanhai small chess saint would be red-faced because of a joke.
Everyone in the world, even if they are as proud as the sun, has a piece of pure and humble dust in their hearts.
The roof of the Star-Picking Tower is not as noisy as Wind Court City.
Yi Xiao put her hands behind her back and looked at the city silently.
He saw the black-clothed Great Dan Sheng, Xiao Mingzhu, Gongzi Xiao Tao, the Four Swordsmen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Heavenly Wolf King...... I saw the lively opening ceremony of the Wind Garden, and saw the distant land of the Northern Wei Dynasty at night.
Far away, it was pitch black.
Yi Xiao leaned back and narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was a wisp of white in the night.
Then he reached out and grabbed the long white hair, which stood out in the darkness of the night.
This strand of long hair was slightly frosty white, which made Yi Xiao think of a person.
The only disciple under the knees of the Sword Lord of the Fengting Grass Cottage.
"Ye Xiaolou?"
He turned his head slightly, and there was already a white-clothed and white-haired man sitting in the hall, looking at him with a smile.
This was the first meeting between Yi Xiao and Ye Xiaolou.
I have to say that Ye Xiaolou is really a person who is difficult not to be amazed.
His facial features are too handsome, and he is slightly embarrassed at the moment, looking at Yi Xiao half appreciatively and half curiously, which makes Yi Xiao a little uncomfortable.
Different from the femininity of the red clothes, Ye Xiaolou's eyebrows are as heroic as a sword, mixed with a sense of indifference.
Before the long white hair in Yi Xiao's palm had settled, Ye Xiaolou was already sitting firmly in the hall.
His Royal Highness couldn't help frowning...... Could it be that this guy entered through the window? But he stood at the window all the time, and he never noticed anything unusual.
Until that strand of gray hair came into view.
If he really entered through the window, it can only be said that Ye Xiaolou's speed is too fast.
At such a speed, it is easy to kill yourself.
And His Royal Highness didn't sense the slightest killing intent, the white-haired man's breath was like a gentle warm current, and even Yi Xiao could see that he was trying to make his smile less indifferent.
Yi Xiao looked at Ye Xiaolou's palm slightly supporting his cheeks, and his tail finger was lightly tied to a red rope, which was connected to a palm-sized token, which depicted the lines of the sword and the wine jar.
He seemed to understand the purpose of Ye Xiaolou's coming.
"Sword Wine Order?"
Ye Xiaolou smiled and nodded, the sword wine order floated on its own, broke free of the red rope, and floated in front of Yi Xiao.
Yi Xiao had heard of the existence of the Sword Wine Order.
The Sword Wine Token is an ancient bronze palm-sized token, with an ancient sword and a wine jar tattooed on it, from the hand of the sword master in the grass house.
Every sword and wine order ...... All unique!
Because in the sword wine order, he was engraved into his sword intent by the sword master. That sword intent is different from the murderous sword intent, on the contrary, this sword intent is extremely gentle, and the mind is immersed in the sword wine order, and it can even perceive another world.
The reason why each sword wine order is unique is that the sword wine order given by the sword master can only be used by the person who gave it.
The usefulness of the Sword Wine Order is very simple.
Practice.
There is nothing faster and safer than practicing in the Sword Wine Order.
Don't worry about going crazy and don't worry about external interference.
When the Commander activates the Sword Wine Order, the sword energy of that token is activated, and it will protect the Commander's mind from being attacked.
When the mind enters the sword wine order, it is like entering the sword world of the sword master.
Practicing the way of the sword is a thousand miles a day, and there is even a commander, in the sword wine order, there is a good chance to meet the mind of the sword master.
It can be said that a sword wine order is like a small world that has been forcibly cut out.
Countless people dream of it, but it's a pity that the people who can be favored by the sword master and give out the sword wine order are not idle people, even if someone can grab the sword wine order, they can't participate in it.
It can be said that this fantastic token can transform a mediocre talent into a genius.
But this token is only given to geniuses.
Yi Xiao knew in his heart that after practicing for nearly a month, he was far from even reaching the threshold of entering the product. Even if he is extremely unhappy in his heart, he has to admit that in terms of cultivation, not to mention that he is a genius, even if he takes out a mediocre talent from the street, he is probably better than himself.
Can...... Ye Xiaolou just sent the sword wine order.
This quaint bronze token was suspended three feet in front of him, and at a distance of three feet, he could reach it by reaching out his hand.
Yi Xiao was a little vigilant in her heart, but more helpless. Because I really can't think of it, what is the reason why the sword master gave him a token for no reason?
It is rumored that the sword lord knows everything in the world, and he is still planning to sneak away the mending pill from the Fengting Grass House in the near future, and at this moment, this sword lord actually sent the sword wine order up.
Yi Xiao slandered in his heart, no matter what kind of bad water is in the belly of the sword master, it is certainly a favor to send the sword wine order, but he can't practice, and it is not for nothing that he has been used, it is better to exchange the sword wine order for the mending pill......
Thinking about it, Yi Xiao really couldn't figure it out. I could only squint my eyes and ask, "That's it?"
After all, don't be in vain.
In the past, a sword wine order, Ye Xiaolou really gave it away.
At this moment, Ye Xiaolou slowly stretched out a finger, smiled and shook it to his mouth.
Then the first sentence was spoken.
"One question. ”
And then there's that question.
"Qi Liang Hongyi, who traveled thousands of miles north with you, is it a man or a woman?"
Silent.
There was a long silence.
Yi Xiao raised his eyes and worked hard to restore Ye Xiaolou's tall image of the 10,000-year-old iceberg in his mind.
Because he really couldn't figure it out.
Ye Xiaolou came to give him the sword wine order, obviously following the will of the sword master, and the sword master didn't look like he liked gossip?
In the past ten years, his teacher Yuan Tiangang has changed the life of Hongyi'er, on the one hand, it is a somewhat similar means of changing his name now, and on the other hand, he is using thaumaturgy to cover up Hongyi'er's appearance.
Outsiders only know that the first master of Da Nei who belongs to Qi Liang Tianque is a red-clothed child who likes to wear a ghost face, maybe someone has seen the appearance of a red-clothed child taking off a ghost face, but it is amazing, Yuan Tiangang has changed the appearance of Hongyi'er, the bulging Adam's apple and flat chest under the yin-yang technique, after all, people will not think that she is a woman.
Indeed, if you don't say it, almost no one knows that Hongyi'er is a woman.
But, who is the sword master?
"It's really a bad taste...... Yi Xiao shook his head helplessly, at this point, the meaning of the sword master has been extremely clear, and it is clear that the sword master is idle and boring, and he wants to see his attitude towards Hongyi'er. The so-called bad taste may be to see the embarrassment of saying that the red clothes are a woman.
Thousands of miles to the north, a long journey. If you don't say anything about it, Yi Xiao will naturally not break it, there is naturally nothing between the two of them, and it is unlikely that there will be anything.
Of course, all this is based on Yi Xiao's "not knowing" that Hongyi'er is a woman.
She doesn't say it, he doesn't say it. She can treat it as if he doesn't know, and she can go all the way north, so she doesn't have to calculate Qi Liang's account so clearly.
Yi Xiao naturally didn't want to calculate this account so clearly.
"Just answer a question, and give a sword wine order?" Yi Xiao smiled dumbly, faintly joking, "Lord Sword is really magnanimous. ”
Ye Xiaolou waited for Yi Xiao's answer.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that wasn't very good.
"Hongyi'er, is it a man or a woman......" Sure enough, Yi Xiao smiled and reached out to grab the sword wine order, "I don't know, if you want to know, ask your master." ”
You want to see me look foreign, no way.
Yi Xiao looked at Ye Xiaolou playfully with a sneer. Ye Xiaolou was stunned for a second when he heard this answer. At the second when Ye Xiaolou was stunned, His Royal Highness had already pocketed the sword wine order and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Thank you Lord Sword for lifting up, I am ashamed to accept it, I am ashamed to accept it. ”
Ye Xiaolou looked at Yi Xiao's face without changing his color, smiled and put the sword wine order into his arms, and said with a smile.
The next words, although they were said with a smile, could not help but be a little serious.
"You think Shizun is playing tricks on you?"
Ye Xiaolou said softly, "Xuan Shangyu of the Northern Wei Dynasty has already left for Beiyuan. ”
This time it was Yi Xiao's turn to be stunned for a second.
He frowned and was silent, Ye Xiaolou said slowly, "Xuan Shangyu went all the way north to fold all the red flowers, and with a purple fan on his waist, he went to catch the red clothes." ”
Yi Xiao raised her head again, with no smile at all, and asked, "That's it...... Really?"
"Qi Liang Wanxiang Pavilion hasn't given you information yet, or do you not want to believe it?" Ye Xiaolou tilted his head slightly and said, "You are the prince of Qi Liang's noble status, you know all of Sen Luo Dao's actions, and you also know about the Northern Wei Dynasty's situation against the Mu family's red cloth." Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't know anything, can't you guess why the Northern Wei Dynasty is willing to settle things all these years?"
Yi Xiao was silent.
Hongyi'er chose to go north for revenge, and she didn't even want to give up her life, what reason did she have to stop her? Da Dansheng's sentence "The closer you get to the truth, the more desperate she becomes", and only in exchange for her sentence "Although she dies, she has no regrets", so why did he stop her?
In addition to the Demon Slaying Plan, Sen Luo Dao also has the God Hunting Plan, which specializes in capturing cultivators with strong talents, would she not know?
The head of the rain demon is cunning and obedient, and the decisive battle site is set in the North Plains Ice Wood Lake, the climate in the North Plains is extremely harsh, and the body of the demon cultivator is much stronger than that of a normal cultivator, will she not know?
Since we all know it, there is still a sentence that there is no regret even if you die.
The only thing Yi Xiao can do is respect her.
I would rather believe that Xuan Shangyu just wanted to go for a ride when he went north, picking saffron was just boring, and it was just a matter of "reading" with a purple fan, a country's heavy weapon.
That's all he can think about.
Because he doesn't have the strength to speak, he is too far away from the ninth grade, and he hasn't even reached the first grade realm, all he can do is face up to his weakness.
Yi Xiao smiled.
At the beginning of his journey to the north, he thought that as long as he read his sage books well, he would have the right to speak and his voice. But he found out that he was wrong.
Above the Qijiang River, he even needed Lao Duan to escape for his life. If he hadn't dragged his feet, Lao Miao wouldn't have had an accident.
All the way to the Northern Wei Dynasty, if it weren't for the red clothes protecting him, he might have been buried by the black-sleeved killer a long time ago, or maybe he was slaughtered by Sen Luodao?
Now he found out that he was very wrong.
He should have realized a long time ago that if he was not strong enough and had no strength, even if he was the prince of a country, in the eyes of those strong people, it was just a joke.
Anything, as long as you realize your mistakes, it is still too late.
So Yi Xiao felt that she still had time.
So he said to Ye Xiaolou seriously, "Anyone who wants to intervene in this matter, whether it is Sen Luodao, Beiyuan Wang Ting, or Xuan Shangyu, no matter what the final outcome of Hongyi'er is." I promise, they'll all pay for it. ”
This sentence, if anyone says it, will be treated as a joke.
But Ye Xiaolou didn't, because the person in front of him was Qi Liang's little highness.
In private, Shizun greatly admired this little prince of Qi Liang, who had never met, and even praised Yi Xiao for his supernatural talent. That kind of appreciation is no longer a simple wait-and-see, but a high hope.
Lord Sword Lord, I have high hopes for Yi Xiao.
Until now, Ye Xiaolou still didn't understand why Shizun attached so much importance to this young man. Because this person is really a little ordinary, there are many, many brighter than him in the world. Not to mention the likes of Sword Sect Ming, Li Changge, and the others, even those who are second-class and first-class, are now stronger than Yi Xiao.
Ye Xiaolou remembered that Shizun once said to himself that in that great world a hundred years ago, there were many scribes who had read the scriptures to the fullest, and there were also many martial artists with superb means. However, there are only a few people who have reached the peak of both civil and military affairs. And those few are praised as saints.
He also remembered that the Sword Master had written a few names on the grass ground.
Among them is the name of Yi Xiao.
So Ye Xiaolou said the sentence that the master finally asked him to say in the name of the sword master.
"I'm willing to help you make a move once, in exchange for a good karma. ”
Ye Xiaolou stared at Yi Xiao's eyes tightly and said the second half of the sentence.
"If this good karma will bring you big trouble in the future, you ...... To knot or not to knot?"
The sword lord asked Ye Xiaolou to bring a question.
started with the red clothes, led to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and finally exchanged a good fate with a shot from the sword master.
And whether he is willing to form this good fate is what the sword master really cares about.
Yi Xiao thought in his heart that the sword master's time was really running out. He was already preparing for Feng Ting and his disciples.
There was a moment of silence.
Yi Xiao laughed loudly, and after the laughter was gone, it was the happy voice of the little prince.
"Knot!"
