Chapter 25: Grandma

It's late, and tonight's Gongzhou has no moon and the wind is urgent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

A bean lamp lit up in the wing room of the ruined temple outside the city, and inside the broken doors and windows was Ning Shusheng who was reading at night. In his hand he held a scroll of various papers—apparently his manuscript—and his mouth was reciting the subtle words of the sages.

Since the opening of the Sui Dynasty, a humble scholar like Ning Rong has finally had a way to progress.

It is also thanks to those who only know how to retreat and meditate every day, there are finally a few people of insight who understand that the people in this world are more conducive to their interests, and in the case that the Taoist and Buddhist families are not good at governance, they found that the Spring and Autumn princes who were originally suppressed by them can settle the world.

Fortunately, there are still people who still adhere to the ideas of their ancestors, and fortunately, there are still students in various schools who use their own conscience to govern the world, just like the old man Li Qi in Beiguocheng.

The people of the world respect the north, so the Beiju Luzhou, which was a place where barbarians were rampant, has become the co-lord of the four continents and the only one in the sky. The masters of the Daomen established the Heavenly Court and regarded themselves as immortals, dividing the Northern Julu Continent into 36 heavens, and the Jade Emperor of Daluo Heavenly Lord was revered as the Emperor of Heaven.

And as the source of thousands of thousands of families, the land of outstanding people has become a chessboard for top people, and the Tang Dynasty, which seems to be growing stronger, is actually in danger, just like the Great Sui that seemed to be strong for a while.

The people of the Tang Dynasty, who had experienced the trauma of the war, now need more officials who know how to make their rule healthy and prosperous.

The people of Gongzhou are very unfortunate, they were born in Gongzhou, where the forces are mixed at the junction of the two continents, and the people of Gongzhou are also very lucky, their parents and officials are trying their best to shelter the people from the wind and rain.

Maybe a few years later, Ning Rong, who was studying hard in the broken temple at this time, will be able to go to high school and be a clean and capable official like Li Qi. Maybe a few years later, there will just be one more useless scholar in this world.

It's just that at this moment, Ning Rong, who is still working hard, doesn't know that he is now "involuntarily", as the bait of Xiao Wu ambushed on the roof, Ning Rong's personal safety is not well guaranteed.

At this time, on the roof of the guest room where Ning Rong was, there was Xiao Wu lying on his arm, and Yan Zhao was looking around with his body lying on his stomach.

Xiao Wu closed his eyes as if taking a nap, but Yan Zhao's low voice came from his ears.

"I said brother, we've been in ambush for three or four hours, why haven't we seen the old monster coming?"

Listening to Yan Zhao's question, Xiao Wu still closed his eyes and replied slowly.

"Brother Yan, don't be in a hurry, it's useless to be anxious, just wait with peace of mind, what should come will always come." ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu's answer was no different from when it was just night, but it was late at night at this time, Yan Zhao, who was very dissatisfied, glared at Xiao Wu and wanted to stand up and move, but was pulled by Xiao Wu suddenly.

The wind is blowing······

"Don't move!"

Xiao Wu, who suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and lay on the roof, holding down Yan Zhao with one hand, staring into the distance with his eyes. Yan Zhao, who was frightened by Xiao Wu's movements, also quieted down at this time, and also followed Xiao Wu's gaze.

A black figure stood in the courtyard, the wind was rolling around, and Xiao Wu and the others felt cold all around.

"Old fellow, it's not easy······"

Xiao Wu's face was solemn, and he knew the momentum of this figure. Xiao Wu lined himself with the profound skill of the person in front of him, and he was far from being defeated, thinking that this person was the grandmother in the woman's mouth.

The clouds in the sky opened, and a touch of moonlight shone on the face of the figure, and the slender face was as dry and wrinkled as the bark of a tree, and if it weren't for those cold eyes, no one would question even if someone said that it was a wood carving.

Just this glance, Xiao Wu and Yan Zhao were both surprised.

"This ······ It's a human or a ghost!"

Yan Zhao subconsciously muttered, his voice was small, but he didn't want to alarm his grandmother.

I saw that my grandmother's eyes turned from looking at the burning house to the roof, her bark-like face was torn open, and her voice was gloomy and hoarse, neither male nor female.

"There are also two rats, just to make up for grandma. ”

Xiao Wu saw that his grandmother's wide sleeves were wide open, and he pounced towards the two of them, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and he understood that it was impossible to sneak attack his grandmother at this time, and he could only be the enemy. Immediately, the long sword was unsheathed, wanting to defeat the strong enemy from top to bottom.

Yan Zhao followed, the sword box opened, and the golden long sword was in his hand. Wielding a fiery sword qi, he cooperated with Xiao Wu to pinch his grandmother.

When the grandmother saw Yan Zhao's red gold sword qi, she immediately waved her wide sleeves, and suddenly the yin wind suddenly rose, and the sword qi was dispersed in a whistling manner. Suddenly, the sword light came like rain, Xiao Wu hung upside down from top to bottom, and the acacia sword in his hand stabbed even the dots, and suddenly turned into countless sword shadows to attack grandma.

This style of heaven and earth is upside down, Xiao Wu once used it when he fought with Yan Zhao, but at that time, he was just pointing at the same time as a sword, connecting Yan Zhao's three acupoints so that he could no longer fight, and at this moment, in the face of a strong enemy, Xiao Wu used the sword to double the power.

When the head sword shadow pointed directly at the acupoints above the head, in the face of this move in mid-air, grandma did not dodge or dodge, and raised his palms high, and he actually wanted to use his flesh palms to catch Xiao Wu's sword blade.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The cold sword blade stabbed into a pair of fleshy palms, and it actually made a sound of gold and iron, and Xiao Wu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"This grandma is like a foreign kung fu, she can catch the sword in my hand with just the palm of her hand!"

Knowing that he couldn't make meritorious contributions in this way, Xiao Wu took advantage of the power of the sword and palm to make a reflexive jump, jumped behind his grandmother, and slashed the acacia sword in his hand in the air, and slashed at his grandmother's back.

Yan Zhao, who was full of tacit understanding, attacked at the same time, holding high the golden long sword and slashing violently, accompanied by a strong sound of breaking the sky, and the momentum of the attack was already achieved.

But she didn't want her grandmother to snort coldly, her body was in mid-air, and she suddenly rose three feet high, and the sword qi behind her passed under her and slammed together with the long sword that Yan Zhao had chopped.

"Volley in the air, tread the wind!"

Xiao Wu was shocked when he saw this, and he was even more shocked.

Xiao Wu, who is good at light footwork, saw that his grandmother had this means, and he had to secretly admire it, and he needed to know that Xiao Wu's attainments in light skills alone can also be called extraordinary in the rivers and lakes, and the masters of the ordinary Dan realm may not be able to be higher than Xiao Wu in light skills. Even so, the current Xiao Wu will definitely not be able to do it like grandma.

didn't mention anything else, but with this light skill, Xiao Wu understood that today's battle was far from being as simple as he thought.

In mid-air, the grandmother who was changing up and down at this time was high above Yan Zhao, her right hand poked out from her sleeve robe, her five fingers were like five dead branches, and her palm turned into sharp claws and grabbed her head.

This claw move is the same as the "female ghost" at that time, but in terms of angle, strength, and speed, the difference between the two is unknown. Yan Zhao faced this move, but he grinned and laughed.

"Hahaha, old witch, I'm waiting for your hand!"

Before the words fell, Yan Zhao just slashed horizontally with his long sword, but he didn't care about his grandmother's claws. This life-fighting move forced grandma to retreat.

In the past two days, Xiao Wu and Yan Zhao have also studied the means to crack this move. This type of claw method is aggressive, and there are a lot of back hands, once it falls into passive defense, it will be out of control, and it is difficult to have a chance to fight back, but when this move is made, the door is wide open, if you can come first, attack the opponent This move should be broken.

Yan Zhao saw that his grandmother was retreating, and was about to continue the onslaught, but the two of them were far apart, and Yan Zhao was difficult to generate new power in mid-air, and this trick only played a role in forcing grandma to retreat.

The three of them landed at the same time, Xiao Wu and Yan Zhao sandwiched their grandmother in the middle, and both of them responded with serious and solemn expressions. Grandma didn't care much, the sky was dark at this time, and only Yan Zhao's sword lit up with red gold light. Grandma looked at it, and the hoarse voice like the friction of gold and iron sounded again.

"Who is the old body, it turns out that you are a bearded man again, last time you were lucky, it happened that grandma and I didn't gather to let you live, why did you come to find death again!"

Yan Zhao originally saw that his grandmother's appearance was far from what he saw that day, and he was puzzled, but after listening to what his grandmother said, he understood that this person was the one who fought that day, so he said.

"You old witch, how did you become this ghost after not seeing you for a few days, didn't you really practice and become a monster!"

But all women, from eighty years old to three-year-old children, who does not care about their appearance? After hearing Yan Zhao's words, Grandma became even more cold, and the killing intent in her words was revealed.

"Hmph! How do you and the other juniors know that grandma and my magic skills are mysterious, today you are waiting to find death, and grandma will be merciful and let you go!"

The words fell, the wind rose, and the sword shadows were chaotic.
