Chapter 53: Under the Umbrella and Outside the Umbrella
Out of the city gate, along the official road for a while, the three of them turned to the side of the path, five miles said that it was not far away, but it was not close, but the old man rested all the way three times, and he walked for an hour before he arrived.
The Qiuxing River is more than 300 zhang wide, and the shore is a large area of flat sandy land.
Looking up, the vast river spreads quietly in the distance, like a fluttering yellow ribbon.
Suddenly, the river waves rose up to the sky, like a general reining in the horse, the horse's head was high, and the head was raised and roared, the momentum was majestic, and it was magnificent.
Seeing this scene, Li Wenshuo's heart was not very calm, he only felt that his mind was suddenly open, and the depression of fleeing for days and days seemed to be blown away by this slightly cold river wind.
The old man also laughed twice, and he didn't feel cold when he hid under the butter paper umbrella, and said with a smile: "This Qiu Xingjiang waves crash on the shore, the sound is like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, lightning and thunder." That swordsman, when you see this situation, do you have any feelings?"
Li Wenshuo knew that the old man asked him if he had realized any swordsmanship, just like what he said in the book, but although he saw this Haoran River water, his heart was indeed fluctuating and not very calm, but unfortunately he still didn't realize any swordsmanship, so he had to shake his head, smiled bitterly at the old man, and said: "The younger generation is not as talented as the predecessors, and the river can understand the sword, admire and admire." ”
"That's nature. The old man laughed twice, looked at the river in front of him in a daze, seemed to feel a little cold, and shrank under the umbrella again.
"The fish drowned. ”
Li Wenshuo was stunned, turned his head to look at Lao Huang holding the umbrella, and wanted to ask him with a smile how the fish drowned, but for some reason there was a little chill in his heart, and even the river wind seemed to be wrapped in a smell of killing.
Li Wenshuo felt something, looked around, and more than a dozen people dressed in black and wearing hats gradually revealed their figures from all directions, surrounding the three of them.
The left hand instantly held the hilt of the sword, the water thief was not dressed like this, nor did he have such a solemn murderous aura, he remembered this feeling, the assassin of Taixuanlou!
Li Wenshuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "It's so much trouble to come to this river to see a scene. ”
A man in black stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took off the hat, revealing a cold and solemn face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is Li Wenshuo and Li Gongzi?"
"Can I say it's not?" Li Wenshuo spread his hands, glanced around, and said with a smile: "It's really a big battle, in one breath, it actually dispatched seventeen assassins from the Xianfeng realm, Huashan invited you, how much did it cost?"
Yun 13 looked at Li Wenshuo, who was still fearless when he was dying, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart, originally thinking that this Li Wenshuo was in the realm of great consummation, and it would take some effort to kill him, so there were so many masters sent out in Taixuanlou, but today, this Li Wenshuo's face was pale, his right hand was lowered and weak, and he obviously looked seriously injured.
Seeing Li Wenshuo's left hand pressed on the scabbard, Yun Shisan also pulled out the straight knife in the sheath, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend, Qingshuang has already been destroyed on Mount Hua, I advise you not to resist, let the brothers give you a good time." ”
Hearing this, Li Wenshuo hooked his lips, stepped forward, blocked the two people under the umbrella behind him, and said with a smile: "Each line has its own rules, since you have taken the money, I will not persuade you to go back in vain, but meeting is fate, can this brother tell me his name?"
Yun 13 grinned and said, "I'm sorry, the rules of our industry, if you enter this industry, you won't have a name." ”
Lao Huang, who was holding the umbrella, heard this, frowned slightly, there was still a name in his heart, and he had never forgotten it, but his expression was a little lonely, the name was left for others to call, his name was only known to the uncle, and he had never called his own name, if no one called a person's name, then what was the point of this name?
In a few years, I'll forget what my name is.
"That's right. Li Wenshuo turned his head and looked at the mighty river, and then looked at the people around him, his heart sank, his muscles and veins were clogged, and his internal strength was impassable, if there was only one person on the other side, he could still rely on his swordsmanship to turn around, but now there was no chance, and then he smiled and asked, "What should you do with these two behind you?"
Yun 13 also made no secret of it, and said bluntly: "Naturally, like you, I went down to beg for a living." ”
Li Wenshuo let out a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the two people under the butter paper umbrella, hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, my real name is Li Wenshuo, because of some troubles in the rivers and lakes, I am sorry to implicate the two of them to accompany me to suffer." ”
The old man took a step forward, and happened to walk out of the umbrella, the red sun stopped softly in the dark air, lit up little by little, the light shone warmly on his body, and said with a smile: "You doll is open-minded, and it is not easy to look down on life and death at a young age." ”
Li Wenshuo smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, I haven't taken a daughter-in-law yet, boy, where can I be willing to die? If my body is safe, I can kill these people even if I fight for my life, but now, I really can't think of any way." ”
The old man patted Li Wenshuo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid, didn't I tell you, my nephew can fight very well, and these dozen or so Xianfeng are not in his eyes." ”
Hearing this, Li Wenshuo also saw that this old man and Lao Huang holding an umbrella were not ordinary people, and if he didn't put more than a dozen Xianfeng in his eyes, he would at least be a master of the Xuanche realm, but looking at the old man, he didn't look like it, so he had to look at Lao Huang on the side.
Although his name is Lao Huang, although Lao Huang looks ordinary, he is not old at all, and he looks less than thirty years old.
"There are geese flying in the water. ”
It was another sentence for no reason, with a flat tone and a low tone.
Li Wenshuo's heart was cold again, and only then did he notice that the chill in Fang Cai's heart did not seem to be because there were seventeen Xianfeng realm assassins around him, but because the young man in front of him said something.
The fish drowned
Yun 13 also felt a cold chill, frowned, and didn't dare to be careless.
The seventeen Assassins drew their swords slowly, the sound of their blades rubbing against their scabbards was extremely harsh.
Li Wenshuo took a deep breath and slowly drew his sword, only to see the cold of the famous sword in the past, Qingshuang, which was full of shocking cracks, and there was a gap in the middle of the sword body that almost broke the entire sword.
At this time, Li Wenshuo suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and the sun seemed to be blocked by clouds.
glanced at Lao Huang, who was standing beside him unconsciously, but Lao Huang didn't look at him, nor did he look at the assassin who had already drawn out seventeen knives, he just looked down at his toes, Li Wenshuo followed his gaze, and saw two black beetles entangled together, as if fighting for something.
Raising his head, he looked out of the umbrella again, and his pupils suddenly widened.
The world outside the umbrella turned dim yellow, Yun 13 threw away the hat, and the seventeen black-clothed assassins had already drawn their swords and rushed forward, but the whole world seemed to be still, and the hat stayed quietly in the air, Li Wenshuo even saw the hideous expression on Yun 13's face, and when he looked up, he saw a two-foot-long fish floating in the air, and his white belly had been turned up.
The world outside the umbrella is like a painting, a picture that is static, eternally immovable, and has not even the slightest color.
Of course, this has to erase the old man from the picture scroll, his old man is still staying in place at the moment, and he has a thick white fox fur around his body at some point, and he stretches out his hand and pulls it, as if he is a little chilled.
The fish drowned
There are geese flying in the water
Li Wenshuo suddenly understood that the outside of the umbrella and the inside of the umbrella were two different worlds, but he became very unaware of what kind of means this was, and this method was beyond his understanding of martial arts.
The whole world has become lifeless, which inexplicably chills people's hearts.
"The world makes a lot of sense, isn't it? ”
Lao Huang suddenly spoke, still expressionless.
Li Wenshuo nodded, and also looked at the two beetles under his feet together, and then he felt a little vitality, and the whole person seemed to have crawled out of hell, let out a sigh of relief, and looked up at the old man suspiciously.
The old man waved his hand angrily and said with a smile: "Boy, do you want to worship me as a teacher?"
Li Wenshuo couldn't see that the old man was the kind of very high master at this time, if he really lived for the past twenty years, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect that there would be such a master who would accept him as an apprentice, how could there be such a good thing that fell from the sky, and he smashed it on himself, and said with a bitter face: "How could the seniors think of accepting me as an apprentice." ”
"The old man sees that you are destined. ”
Seeing that the old man was reluctant to say, Li Wenshuo didn't ask again, and asked softly, "What will happen if I don't agree." ”
"If you don't want to worship me as a teacher, don't worship me, old man, I'm not very happy to be your master, but at that time, I have to see how Li Wenshuo and Li Daxia beheaded these seventeen assassins. ”
Li Wenshuo smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this old-timer has a really big temper, although he is a little sorry for the old man in the view, but now he still saves his life, and this old-timer's ability seems to be not small, if he can learn a little, he will not suffer, so he bowed to the old man in front of him wearing a fox fur, and said respectfully: "Master." ”
Many years later, Li Wenshuo recalled the experience by the river, and remembered the old man who was wearing a fox fur and was a little afraid of the cold, and he couldn't help but shrink his body.
Inside and outside the umbrella, the apprentice and the master, the old man nodded with satisfaction when he heard those two words, and muttered: "Your temper is not at all different from that master on your South Mountain, not as calculating as him, which is very good." ”
Then he waved his hand
Lao Huang, who was holding the umbrella, stepped forward, and the withered yellow picture scroll outside the umbrella collapsed instantly.
