Chapter 187: Jianghu
After telling the story of Xiaoyaozi's past, now return to the main text.
At this moment, Xiaoyaozi never thought that he would be able to see the woman of the past again in his life.
This woman is sitting quietly beside him now, she still hasn't changed at all, like a few years ago, as bright as a peach and plum, cold as frost, and there is still no smile on her face.
"Peony, where have you been all these years? I have been looking for you at the ends of the world, but I can't find any trace of you! Originally, I thought that I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect that God still favored me and let me see you in this Feng County. Xiaoyaozi said with emotion.
The woman glanced at Xiaoyaozi, her face was cold, and she didn't speak, as if Xiaoyaozi wasn't talking to her.
Xiaoyaozi also glanced at the woman, smiling slightly, as if she didn't care. He knows this woman's character, maybe she has had too many troubles in her life, and it is these unhappiness that have created her who is silent.
Although she was very cold, Xiaoyaozi felt that as long as he saw her every day, he would be satisfied.
"Why are you in Feng County?" Xia Peony asked simply.
"Let's find out what's going on in Perak. Xiaoyaozi said, but there was also a bitter look on his face.
Xia Peony didn't speak, she knew Xiaoyaozi's purpose, back then, she entrusted Xiaoyaozi with one thing, killing Feng County Commander Liu Yiyi, and He Zhichong, the master of the Thunderbolt Hall. At that time, the reason why she entrusted this matter to Xiaoyaozi was because she found the trace of the enemy who killed her master, and she knew that the enemy's martial arts were very high, and she was very likely to not be able to kill that person, but would die in the hands of that person, so she entrusted this matter to Xiaoyaozi.
Seeing that Xia Peony didn't speak, Xiaoyaozi continued: "This He Zhichong has been hiding in the Perak Hall for some time now, and he doesn't go out at all, and in the Perak Hall, it seems that a lot of people have been specially assigned recently, and the guards are extremely strict. I've infiltrated Perak Hall twice, but I've been discovered in the end, so I can't do it for a long time. ”
Xia Peony said: "In two months, it will be He Zhichong's fiftieth birthday, and it is said that on his birthday, he also has a ceremony to seal the rivers and lakes and wash his hands in a golden basin." Therefore, he has spread invitations all over the world, and many famous knights in the rivers and lakes, as well as the leaders and heads of several major sects in the rivers and lakes, are among the invites.
Once he held the ceremony of sealing the knife in the rivers and lakes and washing his hands in the golden basin, it means that he has truly returned to the rivers and lakes, and he no longer asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and grievances between him and the people in the rivers and lakes in the past will be written off. He Zhichong has presided over Perak Hall for so long, in addition to his friends, he naturally has many enemies, and his enemies naturally will not let He Zhichong wash his hands so easily, this time has become the last time for them to take revenge.
He Zhichong naturally knew this, so in order to protect his old life, it was normal to strengthen the guards. ”
Xiaoyaozi nodded, during this time, there was something about He Zhichong, which had already spread in the rivers and lakes. At the moment, he also said: "I can't imagine that He Zhichong can be willing to give up the power in his hands at this age! This is an extremely rare thing for the entire rivers and lakes." However, I promised you what I promised, and I will do it!"
"I will deal with this matter myself, He Zhichong will definitely die!" Xia Peony said coldly, between the frowning brows, there was also a strong killing intent, and that killing intent could not be dissolved at all.
"Over the years, have you ever met a master in the rivers and lakes who can use the trick of flowing secret weapons?" After a long time, Xia Peony seemed to calm down the murderous aura in her heart, slowly stood up, and said.
"Liuying's technique?" Xiaoyaozi was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had heard of this technique.
"Liuying's technique is a subtle technique of casting hidden weapons, which can cast sixty-four hidden weapons at the same time with one hand, covering all directions of the opponent, making people unguardable. Xia Peony explained.
"Is it more powerful than the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Deng Chan'er, who is known as the first in the Jiangnan martial arts?"
"Hmph! Deng Chan'er's queen bee needle may be a nirvana technique to deal with ordinary rivers and lakes, but compared to Liuying's technique, it is a lot worse. ”
Thousand-armed Guanyin Deng Chan'er is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, especially in Jiangnan Wulin, and is known as the holy hand of hidden weapons, but he is such a master, in Xia Peony's mouth, but he seems to be an insignificant figure.
Maybe Xia Peony's tone is really a bit arrogant in the eyes of others, but in Xiaoyaozi's mind, he knows that her words are not false, and she definitely has this strength. Because he knew the horror of this woman, he had seen with his own eyes that the eleventh killer in the rivers and lakes was starry and starry, and he died under this woman's sword, and he died under her sword before he had time to draw his sword.
And this is still the strength of this woman seven or eight years ago, although she has lost her voice over the years, Xiaoyaozi can sense it, and when she sees this woman again this time, her strength has been greatly improved, to the point that even Xiaoyaozi can no longer guess.
"I appeared in Feng County this time because I faintly smelled this person's scent!" Xia Peony continued.
"Is that person Yun Zhongyue, the murderer of your master?" Xiaoyaozi asked.
Xia Peony nodded and said: "Yes, a few years ago, on the periphery of Daba Mountain, the person we met was Yun Zhongyue, and you were not lightly injured that time, after I clicked on your acupoint, I wanted to go to him desperately, but when I chased him out of Daba Mountain, I found that he seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world."
I have been looking for him for two months, and there is still no news from him, and later, I can only hide and concentrate on practicing martial arts. ”
"Have you seen the moon in the clouds?" asked Xiaoyaozi.
Xia Peony shook her head, sighed slightly, and said, "No, but I always faintly feel his breath, it seems that he is staring at me from a corner, but I can't see him." ”
Xiaoyaozi said: "Yun Zhongyue, this person rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, at least over the years, I have never heard any rumors about him, even the third killer after him, Sikong Xingxing, has been looking for him, and there are even rumors in the rivers and lakes, saying that he is already the same as Nangong Fei, maybe he is dead?"
"Dead? hey, hey, hey, you don't know anything about the moon in the clouds. Maybe he's been moving under your noses, and you won't be aware of it. Xia Peony said.
Xiaoyaozi was surprised, looked at Xia Peony suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xia Peony glanced at Xiaoyaozi and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think Yun Zhongyue is listed as the second killer in the rivers and lakes?"
Xiaoyaozi said without thinking: "It should be his swordsmanship! His sword is extremely fast, and it is rumored that his sword is so fast that it kills people without blood, that is to say, when his sword pierces into your body and then pulls it out, the sword is not bloody! Oh, by the way, according to you, he still has a trick to flow." It's just that his method of casting hidden weapons is indeed very few people in the rivers and lakes know. ”
"What you said is good, so, we don't know Yun Zhongyue, except for him. Xia Peony raised her head slightly, looked up at the roof, seemed to be a little emotional, and said as if she had fallen into some kind of contemplation.
"Who?" Xiaoyaozi asked curiously.
Xia Peony seemed to have recovered from his distraction, and did not answer Xiaoyaozi's words, but continued: "In addition to the swordsmanship and secret weapon techniques, the least known thing in Yun Zhongyue is his phaseless divine skills, and these are all from a mysterious and powerful sect, this sect is called Shushan Sword Gate. ”
"Shushan Sword Gate, is there really a Shushan Sword Gate in this world?" Xiaoyaozi gasped, his eyes full of shock. He has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and there are not a few strange stories he has heard, and this Shushan Sword Gate is one of them, this is a sect with a very strong mythological color, all along, Xiaoyaozi thought that it was just something that people made up, and now listening to Xia Peony's mouth, how can he not be surprised?
Xia Peony said: "The world is full of wonders, when your strength can't reach that realm, you never know how deep the water of this river and lake is." ”
Listening to Xia Peony's words, Xiaoyaozi's heart sank, and he was worried by nature, as if he heard the meaning of Xia Peony's words that his realm was not enough, and he could not get in touch with the world she was in contact with.
In Xiaoyaozi's eyes, the former Xia Peony was just a woman who was blinded by hatred and seemed extremely cold to everything in the world. Although her strength is stronger than his, she is still a person in the same realm as him after all, the gap in martial arts, through his efforts, he can catch up, and he still has the qualifications to love her.
But these martial arts secrets that Xia Mudan said made Xiaoyaozi really feel that there seems to be not only a gap in strength between him and her, but also a gap in cognition, and this gap is not a star and a half, there is already a difference in the realm. The world she has come into contact with is far beyond what Xiaoyaozi knows.
It can be said that in the cognition of the realm, if Xiaoyaozi is in the position of mortals, then Xia Peony has already stood in the position of a god. This kind of gap stimulates Xiaoyaozi fiercely.
The difference between mortals and goddesses is that mortals may be able to admire goddesses, but goddesses will never favor a mortal.
Thinking of these, Xiaoyaozi's mood was a little lost, there was a feeling of swelling in his eyes, and there were a lot of sighs in his heart, his heart had a trace of colic, but at this time, he could only hide the pain, and the tears in his eyes could only flow to his heart.
However, Xia Peony didn't pay attention to these changes in Xiaoyaozi at all, and she never thought that just her unintentional words would make Xiaoyaozi think so much.
After reorganizing his emotions, Xiaoyaozi pretended to be surprised and said: "Yun Zhongyue can actually have a relationship with the Shushan Sword Gate?, then his strength is really unfathomable, if you want to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid it will ......" Xiaoyaozi shook his head, this rumored Shushan Sword Gate, for him, is like a strange mountain, which can only be looked up. Therefore, there is no hope at all that Xia Peony wants to find Yun Zhongyue, who has been involved with Shushan Jianmen.
