Chapter 23: The Scabbard

Inside the box is a scabbard!

The two looked at each other. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Liu Yanxue gently took out the scabbard from the box, it was a black and red scabbard, it looked majestic, smooth and neat to the touch, and it smelled faintly fragrant.

Importantly, the scabbard is also engraved with the word "Gu".

It is not difficult to know that this gift was actually given to Gu Huaiyan by Jiang Lingque through Liu Yanxue's hand.

Liu Yanxue smiled and handed the scabbard to Gu Huaiyan: "Give it to you!"

Gu Huaiyan hesitated for a moment before taking the scabbard into his hand, and he looked a little overwhelmed in the face of the gift that was suddenly sent to the door.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Liu Yanxue said again: "This scabbard is made of ebony, and it must be worthy of you and your knife." ”

"Ebony?" Gu Huaiyan asked, "Is this the ebony that is said to ward off evil spirits?"

Liu Yanxue nodded: "Exactly." ”

Gu Huaiyan said: "No wonder people often say that a family with ebony is better than a box of treasures." I have seen it today, and this scabbard made of ebony is really different. ”

Suddenly, Gu Huaiyan put the scabbard back into the box: "It's just that this scabbard is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”

"What can't you want!" Liu Yanxue was anxious when she heard this, she picked up the scabbard and stuffed it back into Huaiyan's hand: "No matter how precious it is, you can still have my preciousness, why don't you say that I am too precious to ask me to help you?"

"This ......" Liu Yanxue's words suddenly made Gu Huaiyan speechless.

It was a long time before he thanked him and held the scabbard firmly in his hand.

Gu Huaiyan is a taciturn but resolute person, especially he doesn't like to accept help from others in everything. But in front of Liu Yanxue, he still did something unprecedented again and again.

Go to the sea of flowers to see the stars together, ride a horse with her, tell stories for her, take off her shoes and cover the quilt, bring her breakfast, and now accept her scabbard.

He even asked himself in his heart, why did he refresh his bottom line for this woman, and how many things did he have to do for her that he had never thought of before?

But it's clear that he did most of this willingly.

"Brother Huaiyan, what are you thinking?"

Liu Yanxue's words pulled Gu Huaiyan's thoughts back, and he hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, I'm thinking that I have such a good scabbard before I have seen the Thrilling Slash, thank you so much." ”

Liu Yanxue said: "It is said that the sword is a hero, Brother Huaiyan is a big hero, and the Amazing Slash must be a good knife that is unparalleled in the world!"

Gu Huaiyan asked, "Why do you say I'm a big hero?"

Liu Yanxue turned her back and smiled secretly, in her eyes, her brother Huaiyan was a big hero.

Of course, it didn't take long for many people on the rivers and lakes to admit this.

For Liu Yanxue, time flies quickly, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

But for Gu Huaiyan and some people, this half month is like a year.

On the appointed day, Liu Yanxue slept in the house as usual, but Gu Huaiyan kept hesitating in front of her door.

Xu is Gu Huaiyan's footsteps back and forth were too loud, and Liu Yanxue slowly opened her eyes.

"Brother Huaiyan, are you walking around outside the door?"

Gu Huaiyan let out a soft "um".

It didn't take long for Liu Yanxue to walk out neatly dressed: "You got up so early!"

Gu Huaiyan looked at Liu Yanxue with some guilt: "I'm ...... Is it bothering you? It's still early in the morning, you can go back to sleep for a while, and I'll call you again when the hour comes. ”

Liu Yanxue smiled and shook her head: "I still don't sleep, I also want to know what it's like, let's go!"

With that, Liu Yanxue took Gu Huaiyan's hand and walked in the direction of the extinct cold pool.

At this time, it was just after the fourth watch.

However, an unexpected scene occurred.

Although the two of them set off just after the fourth watch, at this time, there were already no less than 500 people from many large and small sects in the martial arts, including Bailichuan, Ruan Xin, Sun Tai, Qidiao Jianwen, Xiao Chenghao, etc., near the extinct Hantan.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Kun, the owner of Jiangjiabao, also came with his two precious sons.

Looking at this situation, they were afraid that they would be one step too late, and the sword would fall into the hands of "others".

It's summer, but the area around the extinct pool is still covered in snow, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice that you can slip on if you don't pay attention.

The sword was in the ice cave in front of it, and everyone could only watch from a distance, and no one dared to approach.

The funny thing is that everyone is wearing thick clothes, and even more so is holding a small stove in their hands. Those heads can barely have a deep internal force to warm themselves. And the disciples behind each of them who were not good at martial arts could only rub their hands and stomp their feet.

But everyone doesn't back down, everyone wants to be the first to see the true face of the sword.

At this time, they were all waiting for someone, waiting for someone who could help them enter the Extinction Cold Pool and take out the treasure sword.

Facing so many competitors, Gu Huaiyan was not nervous at all, because Liu Yanxue was by his side.

Liu Yanxue felt a cold air around Gu Huaiyan's body, and she gently held Gu Huaiyan's two hands. It's strange to say that Liu Yanxue's hand just touched Gu Huaiyan, and Gu Huaiyan didn't feel so cold.

This kind of warmth made Gu Huaiyan's idea of "men and women don't kiss" in his mind suddenly run out of the clouds.

"Why are your hands warm?"

Facing Gu Huaiyan's question, Liu Yanxue just smiled.

The two of them stood like this until dawn, and Liu Yanxue slowly let go of Gu Huaiyan's hand.

The sun had already come out, and it was obviously useless here, and some of the disciples of the various sects had fainted one after another, and the small stove in their hands had already been as cold as ice.

The leaders were very tacitly agreeable, and they all stepped back.

In their hearts, they secretly prayed that Jiang Lingque would appear quickly, and no one noticed Gu Huaiyan and Liu Yanxue behind them.

Liu Yanxue looked at Gu Huaiyan seriously: "You wait for me here, I will be back soon." ”

Gu Huaiyan shook his head vigorously: "No, I want to go with you, there are many of them, I am afraid of ......"

Liu Yanxue nodded at Gu Huaiyan's acupoint and said, "I know that you are afraid that the Shocking Slash will be snatched by them, but please believe me, I will definitely hand it over to you intact." ”

With that, Liu Yanxue turned around and walked forward.

Footprints were left everywhere she stepped on, Gu Huaiyan looked at Liu Yanxue's back and the footprints she left with complicated eyes, he actually wanted to say that there were many of them, and he was afraid that Liu Yanxue would be injured, and he could at least protect her at a critical moment with her.

But now I can't move. He tried several times to break through his acupoint, but to no avail.

It's just that Gu Huaiyan can't help but underestimate Liu Yanxue too much.

The reason why Liu Yanxue came with him just after the fourth watch was to appease her brother Huaiyan's heart, but after coming, she didn't do it for a long time because she had to wait for these people to run out of energy.

Because Liu Yanxue clearly knows that everyone wants to be shocked, and since these people are here, they will not leave easily.

She knows that she has more than ten years of martial arts foundation, but most of the time the saying that two fists are hard to beat four hands still applies.

What's more, there are 500 of them, and these leaders are all first-class martial artists. The best time to make a move can only be made when they are shivering from the cold and their physical strength is almost exhausted.

Sure enough, when Liu Yanxue came to them, most of them looked at her blankly.

Only the heads of the house could barely get up and move, and they gathered together to talk to each other.

Sun Tai was the first to ask, "Who do you say she is, what are you doing here?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Ruan Xin said: "She can't be Jiang Lingque, right?"

Qi Diao Jianwen immediately denied: "By no means! You see that this girl looks like she is at a prime age, but that Jiang Lingque is already a middle-aged woman." ”

Xiao Chenghao also chimed in: "That's right! Besides, how can this Jiang Lingque be the master of the first palace and come alone?"

Liu Yanxue ignored them at all and walked straight forward.

Seeing that Liu Yanxue was getting closer and closer to the ice cave where the slash was hidden, everyone was in a hurry.

They only knew that they were worried that the Shocking Slash would be taken away, but none of them would use their brains to think about why she could walk around the cold pool so casually.

Suddenly, the four of them tacitly made a move towards Liu Yanxue.

Liu Yanxue gently stretched out her arms, and a large snowflake fell from the sky, making it even worse, this is simply "falling into the well".

This trick really worked, and the four heads couldn't stand the cold and retracted their hands in front of them.

In a short time, a sword flew out from the south, east, west, and north!

Each of the four swords flashed with a cold light, adding a touch of coldness to people for no reason.

They were followed by four maidens who fell from the sky and took the four swords in their hands in turn.

As soon as the four girls saw Liu Yanxue, they knelt down together: "Xiangyang (Moon) (Listen to the Wind) (Falling Rain) to meet the young master!"

Liu Yanxue personally helped the four of them up.

Hearing that these four girls reported to their homes, and they were all people with swords, Bailichuan immediately understood that these were the four protectors of the Snow God Palace. It's just that they have been silently protecting Liu Yanxue behind their backs and haven't shown up.

He secretly said in his heart: "No! I'm afraid these four wastes are going to spoil my big thing." ”

So he hurriedly drank away from the four heads and walked up to Liu Yanxue to ask her origin.

Liu Yanxue looked completely unfazed, only to see her smile: "The little woman Liu Yanxue came to the extinct Hantan today on the order of the family teacher to help the noble person with a knife!"

Bailichuan, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, naturally spoke first: "In Xiabailichuan, dare to ask the girl if she is the apprentice of the Snow God Jiang Lingque?"

Liu Yanxue nodded: "It turned out to be the leader of the alliance, the leader of the alliance is polite, and the family teacher is the snow god Jiang Lingque!"

At this time, Bailichuan was bloated like a ball, but Liu Yanxue in front of him was still dressed coolly. And Liu Yanxue breathed evenly, her face was ruddy, and Bailichuan had to believe that she was the person sent by the Snow God Palace to help them.

"In that case, thank you first. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yanxue deliberately put on an unclear appearance: "What does the alliance leader mean by this? Where does this thank you come from?"

As we all know, the Snow God Palace is full of female disciples, and this slash is an extremely masculine sword technique. Naturally, no one would suspect that the people of the Snow God Palace would rob the Amazing Flood and take it as if they already had.

Therefore, Bailichuan thought that Liu Yanxue was angry again for the unwarranted offending of her by the four heads just now.

Bailichuan laughed while calling the four heads to apologize for Liu Yanxue's crimes.

Gu Huaiyan behind them took in all this, only to feel that these five people were simply shameless, so like a junior who apologized and apologized, nodded and humiliated his identity.
