Chapter 4 is not challenging
Xu Xian is a local Jianghu guest in southern Xiangnan, unlike many chivalrous knights or green forest heroes who occupy the mountains as kings, he is a person who takes money to do things.
He was very afraid of things and didn't want to mess with anyone, but he always had to eat and dress, and occasionally he wanted to drink some wine or buy a good sword. So Xu Xian takes all kinds of orders, delivers darts, works as a thug for gangsters, collects debts for loan lenders, helps people go to the martial arts hall to kick the gym, etc., as long as he gives money, he will do anything, even if he has to kill two people, he will not refuse, as long as the price is enough.
This time the matter was a bit big, and the whole Jianghu heard more or less voices, and in the past month or two, he had also heard about it in the wine inn, but he didn't expect the person concerned to find him at that time. At first, he refused, this right and wrong was too big, he didn't want to get involved, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live afterwards.
But this time the price is really high, so high that he can't help but be impressed. Eventually, he put on his hat and changed his sword, covering his face, hoping to be less recognized by some people and cause less trouble. When he had to kill that Zhu Zisheng, he actually wanted to quit a little. It's just that there is no turning back when you open the bow, and if you leave at this time, you will have to face more troublesome things, so Xu Xian can only pray, just hurry over tonight, and muttered all the way, this has nothing to do with me, even if you become a ghost, don't come to me, I'm just a little minion......
The night was already very deep, and Xu Xian wanted to sleep a little, but thinking about the reward afterwards, he still held back his sleepiness. He carried the sword behind his back, his steps flew fast, and his body was like a light swallow, and he stepped across the river with great ease, and kept running. Compared with the nondescript swordsmanship, he was still more satisfied with his light skills.
Soon, Xu Xian came to an abandoned ruined temple in a small forest, and the ruined temple had a broken door, but it was able to block the wind and rain. Xu Xian pushed open the door, and several people in the temple stood up nervously, and only after seeing that it was him did they relax.
There were about four or five people in the temple, two of them were fifteen or sixteen years old, all of them were white and fat, obviously children from rich and noble families, and the others were all family members, and a group of people were talking by candlelight under the broken Buddha statues in the ruined temple. Seeing Xu Xian's arrival, he respectfully shouted "Xu Daxia".
Xu Xian waved his hand, and seeing that the two young men were safe and sound, he nodded and said, "Two Young Master Ning, don't worry, no one knows where you are, I will be guarding outside the temple, as long as I wait for the Ning officials to come back, my task will be completed, you just need to stay here quietly, and there will be no problem." ”
The two teenagers looked at each other, and one of the fatter teenagers asked, "What...... Xu Daxia, you say, our father, can they beat the bad guys?"
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Young Master Rong, Ling Zun Lingtang is a great nobleman, and there are master guards by his side, so there will be no problem." I'm going to stand guard outside the door, so rest you." After speaking, no matter what the two teenagers wanted to ask, they pushed open the door of the broken temple and walked out.
He sat against the wall under the eaves of the ruined temple, took the sword from behind his back and held it in his arms, pulled the hat down, his eyes half-open and half-narrowed, and he dozed off very irresponsibly, and muttered a few words in his mouth.
"It's a bigger official who wants to kill your parents, and they're looking for terrible characters like Wei Zongtian who have been famous in the killer world for many years, can they come back alive, how can I know ...... a little minion?"
Xu Xian was half-awake and half-asleep under the eaves, but he felt that time passed very slowly, and he didn't know why he was a little nervous, and he couldn't sleep very well. Maybe the wind and rain are too noisy, or maybe the wall is uncomfortable. Xu Xian tried for a while and still couldn't sleep, so he stood up helplessly and stretched, rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders, and complained dissatisfiedly.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and the sword in his hand suddenly came out of the sheath, making the black hole in the woods, his eyes no longer squinted, but bloomed with fine light, and the temperament of the whole person instantly changed from lazy to murderous.
Sure enough, a person came from the grove, but to Xu Xian's surprise, this person didn't look like a martial arts master, and he didn't feel a trace of internal force fluctuations on his body. This person has red lips and white teeth, delicate skin, and is not very young, I am afraid that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, no matter how you look at it, he is a pampered person, and he is dressed in a snow-white gown, with a scarf wrapped around his head, a feather fan in his hand, an oil-paper umbrella, and a large nondescript wooden box behind his back. This image made Xu Xian a little distracted for a while, thinking that he saw those sons and brothers who loved to dress up like dogs and go to visit the Qinglou.
However, when people are walking in the rivers and lakes, how can they relax their vigilance just because the other party looks like a little white face? Xu Xian's sword pointed at the young brother and shouted: "Who is coming! Don't get any closer, this road is impassable!"
"Don't be nervous, brother, the little brother has no malicious intent. The boy brother listened to Xu Xian's reprimand, and said with a smile: "In Xia Xuanyuan Jinyu, passing by here, I saw a ruined temple to hide from the rain...... I don't believe it myself, I'm here to help the people in the temple, and my brother doesn't have to be hostile. ”
Xu Xian sneered: "There is someone in the temple, why don't I know? Get out of here, otherwise don't blame the sword in my hand for not recognizing people!"
"Brother Tai, don't worry, if you don't believe me, how about listening to my little brother?" The "little white face" named Xuanyuan Jinyu was Ning Wushu who was dressed in men's clothes, and at this time, she saw that Xu Xian was murderous, so she stopped approaching, stood in place, and talked to herself.
"Here's the thing, the younger brother I have an elder, and Ning Daguan has a relationship, I heard that he is in some trouble now, the elder himself is inconvenient to come forward, so I sent me to help this big official, but after I came a little observation, I found that the people who came are all famous people such as the Killing Wind Five Horsemen, Ghost Eyes, Wei Zongtian, etc., the younger brother is not good at martial arts, and he didn't dare to fight with them, I wanted to see a lively just forget it, when it was a big deal, when it was dangerous, if there was a chance, I would come out of the corner with the big officials as far as I could escape, just do my part. ”
"As a result, I didn't expect that this Ning Daguan was really powerful, and he easily killed those who came to chase and kill him, and there should also be a part of the brother's help, right? The younger brother also thanked the brother for his help for his parents...... Well, just now I also wanted to go to the Yanjiang River to help Ning Daguan deal with that Wei Zongtian, but after a glance from afar, the two sides fought fiercely, and the iron tower next to the big official was really like a demon, and there was no part of my little brother to interfere. ”
Speaking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Ning Wushu's eyes, but the night was thick, she hid it well, and Xu Xian didn't see it. I only heard her continue: "But I promised the elders to help the officials, but I came here for a few days, just to see the excitement, I didn't help anything, and I will be blamed when I go back, so the little brother I thought about it, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration." You say, if the people who came to hunt down and kill the big officials found it so difficult to kill him, would they have tied up his two sons and threatened him to obey? I have heard that the big officials love these two sons very much. So, I looked for it, and I found it. I think that I will protect them here until the Ning officials come back, and if any wicked killers come to find trouble, I will fight them back, so that I will not live up to the trust of my elders. ”
"So brother, you see, the purpose of the younger brother is to help the people in the temple, you must believe the younger brother, don't point that sword at me anymore, my martial arts are mediocre, I can't beat you." ”
Xu Xian's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but the sword never let go. He smiled and said, "You treat me as a fool, right? If you really came to help Ning Daguan, why don't you go to him? He can directly send us to guard the broken temple." Are you hiding your head and showing your tail, I'm afraid you have other plans? Or are you here to assassinate the people in the temple at all?"
"Brother Tai misunderstood. Ning Wushu shouted injustice, and then said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, since Brother Tai asked, the younger brother will tell you why I didn't want to reveal my identity at first." ”
"Here's the thing, according to the observation of the younger brother, whether it is Ning Daguan or the person who pursues him, the intelligence ability is quite powerful, and he knows how many people and who are on the other side, so in this game, in fact, there are no strange soldiers, but you just come and go with a knife. However, the younger brother felt that this matter was a little strange, Ning Daguan was almost at his destination, and if he was a killer at that time, he would have to break into the yamen, which was too difficult, so this should be the last chance, how could the person who chased and killed him not have some secret tricks? Just like the little brother, although Ning Daguan didn't know about my existence, but I was also the one who hid in the secret to help him, could there be people like me who wanted to kill him on the surface, and people who secretly dealt with him?"
"Come to think of it, it has something to do with what I said just now, the two Ning teenagers. If there is really such a person, the best way is to take advantage of Ning Daguan's retreat and defeat all the people who came to chase him, and after relaxing his vigilance, he will either arrest Ning Shao and threaten Ning Daguan, or when he returns to the broken temple to pick up his son, he will directly kill their family, this method should be the safest. ”
"So, if I reveal my identity early in the morning, although the other party doesn't understand my details, he still has to guard against me, and maybe he will find a way to deal with me, then it will be troublesome, so I might as well hide in the dark, and wait until I find a clue, and then help the big official. ”
"Oh?" Xu Xian asked, "Then did you find a clue?"
"Of course!" Ning Wushu said happily, "I'll tell you." ”
"This ruined temple is not very secretive, and there is no security, there are many good hiding places nearby, it is indeed difficult to think that Ning Daguan hid the two teenagers here, and the two teenagers are the most important people of Ning Daguan, I think that even if the person who pursues him is strong, in just one night, they will not be found here." So no one knows they're here except their own people. Then if you want to touch here, there is only one possibility, this bad guy hiding in the shadows must be the internal response of Ning Daguan's side!"
"I put myself in my shoes, the matter of the two young masters here, Ning Daguan is afraid that he didn't even tell a few people around him, and there are very few people who know. And this person also has the ability to restrain the two young masters or kill their family in one fell swoop, I don't think it will be that kind of maidservant girl. Then there won't be many people left. ”
Xu Xian frowned when he heard this, especially "Neiying", his heartbeat also accelerated a little, he became nervous, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ning Wushu smiled, his eyes as he looked at Xu Xian became sharp, and his voice became cold.
"Xu Xian, what do I mean, don't you know? Do you think it's that simple to do things with money?"
Xu Xian was furious and shouted: "Bold thief, don't slander me! You want to sow discord and harm my life! I will take your head!"
The words landed, Xu Xian raised his sword and was about to rush, who knew that at this time, the ground under his feet suddenly changed, the ground cracked, and two "claws" made of wood broke out of the ground, firmly grasping his ankles, Xu Xian's body just started to impulse, and he was stopped by Shengsheng, almost falling, and there was no way to rush towards Ning Wushu again, so he could only swing his sword to cut the wooden claws, but the wood was made of unknown wood, it was extremely hard, and only shallow scars were left after a few swords.
Ning Wushu smiled slightly, and said, "Xu Xian, do you think that if you kill Zhu Zisheng, you will make a name for yourself, and no one will suspect you?" Ning Daguan can't take care of you at this time, it doesn't mean that I haven't stared at you. Tell you, I, Xuanyuan Jinyu, am here, and I will ask you to pay the price today!" As she spoke, Ning Wushu took off the wooden box behind her, put it on the ground and opened it leisurely, only to see her take out a big bow and a pitch-black arrow from the box, and set the arrow full of strings, pointing directly at Xu Xian's eyebrows.
Xu Xian saw that the black arrow was pointing at him, and the blood of the whole person was about to coagulate, although he looked at this Xuanyuan Jinyu's body and appearance and was not very good at martial arts, but the dangerous feeling that this black arrow gave him reached the level of a death threat. However, no matter how good his skills were, his feet were firmly locked at this time, and he couldn't escape at all, so he could only be aimed at like a target.
Ning Wushu pulled the bow and took a deep breath, and his meridians began to fill with violent internal energy. She has now cultivated to the third layer of the Phoenix Lake realm, although she can't decide how much strength she spends like the fourth layer of the Yunmeng Lake realm, and she will still be weak when she strikes out, but she won't even be able to move her legs like before, but she just can't fight with people anymore. Using the heart method of the five lakes and four seas to stimulate the Storm Arrow is the strongest stunt she can master at present.
As the momentum on her body continued to rise, Xu Xian's breathing was about to stagnate, and he wanted to use the sword in his hand to block it, but his intuition told him that when this arrow hit, his sword couldn't stop it at all, and all he could do was wait for death.
Xu Xian knew that he was going to die in the next moment, and before he died, he yelled full of pain and unwillingness: "Fuck your Xuanyuan Jinyu, Lao Tzu is not an internal response!"
Ning Wushu smiled and said, "I know." ”
With a slight movement of his left hand, the Storm Arrow moved away from the direction of Xu Xian's eyebrows, moving towards the direction of the gate of the broken temple, and the fingers holding the arrow feathers in his right hand suddenly released.
The black arrow on the string disappeared in an instant, and with two "booms" at the same time, the tattered gate was blown into pieces, and the Buddha statue in the broken temple was also broken into seven or eight pieces, and a person rolled out of the Buddha statue and fell to the ground, with a huge blood hole in his throat, and the person was out of breath, and his eyes were huge, as if he didn't dare to believe what was happening. And the other people in the temple were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and they stupidly glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then at Ning Wushu outside the temple......
After this arrow, Ning Wushu only felt a little weak, and his steps stumbled slightly. But she still smiled and said with emotion: "Martial arts masters are like this, it's not challenging." ”
