Chapter 34: Under the Night
When the moon is bright in the sky, the clouds and mist in the mountains float slowly and lightly in the moonlight, and occasionally a flock of birds with fluttering wings breaks through the clouds, and the crisp chirping echoes in the quiet mountain gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Qingyun pushed open the door of the pavilion and walked out with a sword, stepped to the open space in front of the courtyard sprinkled with moonlight, closed his eyes and raised his head to take a deep breath, the sword body in his hand danced, and he danced the sword.
The blade of the sword slashed through the air with the dance of the sleeve, and although the sword speed was full, it emitted a slight sword sound, and the sword body reflected the moonlight and shone slightly, imprinting the calm face of the sword master.
The quieter the night, the noisier Li Qingyun felt around him, all the sounds seemed to be amplified when he closed his eyes and danced the sword, and the sound of his footsteps sweeping the dust and stones on the ground was so heavy.
His sword momentum danced faster and faster, and the repeated single sword seemed to change between the repeated and rapid repetition, the sword shadow began to separate from the sword body, and Li Qingyun's hem swayed with the footsteps of his body, and the dust and stones he brought up floated and fluttered at his feet.
He suddenly retracted his momentum, stood in the courtyard with his sword, and when he opened his eyes, an old man came to the courtyard at some point, holding a long sword with a simple scabbard in his hand.
After a moment of silence, Li Qingyun's eyes froze, and he raised his sword to stab his steps and stepped out of his figure, drinking slightly in his mouth.
The old man's figure was a little crooked, as if he was inevitably a little hunched when he was older, and at this moment, looking at Li Qingyun, who was stabbing at him with his sword, he coughed, his gray beard trembled, but his eyes were unusually bright and bright.
But in an instant, the offensive had arrived, and the old man just flipped the long sword in his hand in the palm of his hand, waved the scabbard with one hand and spread out the sword momentum on the opposite side, and slapped the deviating sword body with the other hand.
Li Qingyun stopped his body and drew his sword and turned around, his body turned sideways to dodge a palm, and the hand holding the sword pressed down the sword body and stabbed at the old man's body. And the old man just understated that he took half a step back, so that his sudden change of tactics had no effect in the slightest.
The two moves were fruitless, Li Qingyun changed his offensive, changed his sword and slashed quickly.
The old man still only used the scabbard to block, Li Qingyun slowed down and accelerated, the sword body slashed on the scabbard and made a dull sound, the metal sword body kept flipping and the reflected moonlight flashed, and the sword momentum was so fast that ordinary people could only see the flickering of light and shadow here.
After a long time of fruitless attack, Li Qingyun's qi and blood were also a little overturned, and an angry shout exploded in the courtyard, he instantly changed his sword in both hands and slashed it down sharply, and the old man still flipped the long sword with one hand, as if he still planned to use the scabbard to block the sword momentum this time.
A sound of wood cracking sounded, it turned out that the force of this slash was so great that it actually cut the scabbard of the long sword in the old man's hand, Li Qingyun's face was happy, and he used his strength to cut it again, but he encountered a great obstacle.
The old man sighed lightly, and the hand that had originally held the scabbard quickly withdrew and grasped the hilt of the sword.
The cold light flashed, the long sword was clearer and more out of his body, Li Qingyun's complexion changed greatly, and he turned around to dodge.
The old man's sword move has not yet come out, and the invisible edge has forced the other party back.
In an instant, the old man raised his sword to attack for the first time, but the simplest forward stab made Li Qingyun, who was constantly retreating, change his complexion greatly.
The old man's wrist moved slightly, the sword body trembled, and the tip of the sword danced an invisible small sword lotus, Li Qingyun didn't dare to block it with his sword, and kept retreating, and suddenly his heel was blocked, and an unstable body fell backwards, he was so fierce that he sank with his hand to prevent himself from being at the moment, and when he came back to his senses, the tip of the old man's sword was already close at hand, sweat was left on his forehead, and the clothes on his chest were shattered by the old man's sword flower, revealing a slightly undulating chest.
Li Qingyun suppressed his violent gasps, but the accelerating rise and fall of his chest still showed his nervousness.
For a moment, there was only the cold moonlight and the faint sound of his breathing.
"It's over! The score has become 992 to 0, congratulations to Senior Brother for losing again!"
A cheerful voice suddenly sounded, and a figure jumped from the roof of the attic behind Li Qingyun, and happened to land beside him and the old man.
"Haha, senior brother, come on! Eight more times you will be a thousand times!" Qingyun squatted down and gloated, and deliberately patted Li Qingyun's bare chest.
The latter coughed and sat down on the ground with unsteady arm support.
The old man withdrew his sword, his eyes full of mourning his misfortune and anger.
Li Qingyun's face was embarrassed, and he scratched his head and didn't dare to look at the old man's face.
"Senior brother, you are still embarrassed, in fact, you have made much progress, this time the master drew his sword three breaths earlier than before. "Qingyun doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.
Li Qingyun staggered to his feet and didn't dare to pat the dust on his shirt behind him, and secretly glared at Qingyun, who understood the meaning and stuck out his tongue and didn't tease anymore, and honestly stood aside.
"Master, disciple.... Lost again..."Li Qingyun held the hilt of the sword with both hands and hung down the sword, bent down to salute, and stammered in his mouth.
"Do you think you're really improving?" the old man spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse.
Li Qingyun didn't speak, just lowered his head.
"Hmph, I just used the same move as you, the same move, look at how you do it, Xiao Qingzi, let me ask you, if someone comes to kill you with a sword, what will you do?" the old man snorted coldly.
"Isn't that nonsense! Qingyun was right-hearted on the side.
The conversation between the two made Li Qingyun, who had his head down, sweat again, and he was very nervous.
The old man looked at his reaction, knowing that the other party had realized the problem, his face softened a little, and his tone was still stern.
"Did you hear it, Qingyun knows the most basic to break the skill, not to mention whether I use a move that you can't crack, but the simplest and most basic starting move, you don't dare to make a move to resist, is it that you are already so bold?"
"Master, your old man's strength is there, and my senior brother won't do futile things if you know your strength. Qingyun looked at Li Qingyun, who was being trained, and helped him speak for the first time.
"Don't talk! I haven't scolded you yet! This time I went out on a mission, and I came back injured, how can I teach you? You are a hidden shadow, this can be found, do you know that the next time your hiding place is found will be when you die!" Lao Tzu's seriousness towards Qingyun did not drop by half a point.
This time, Qingyun also followed the example of his senior brother, and simply lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
The old man looked at the two brothers in front of him who had exactly the same posture, and sighed helplessly.
"Qingyun, I know what your junior brother said just now is what you think in your heart, you do know that you can't beat me, but in the future, if you make a mistake in estimating the opponent's strength at the first time, will you give up when you feel that the opponent's strength is stronger than you?"
Li Qingyun's head was lowered.
"Remember, if you only fight a battle that you must win, you will lose. After the old man said this sternly, he turned his gaze to Qingyun, who was also bowing his head.
"I know! next time I will hide well, and make sure that no one can find me!"
Before the old man could speak, Qingyun lowered his head and raised three fingers as if he was swearing.
"You, you two!"
The old man had no choice but to deal with them, so he flipped the blade of his sword in his hand and struck the heads of the two people with the end of the hilt.
"Can you let me save some snacks!huh?!Can you let me save snacks?" the old man knocked on the heads of the two people, and the two of them could only grit their teeth to bear it, but they were also relieved, knowing that the old man's anger had been mostly gone.
"Ahem, ahem!" The angry old man suddenly coughed violently, took a step back and covered his mouth and nose.
"Master!" the two of them raised their heads together in unison.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's an old problem, I can save some snacks if you two grow snacks by yourself, it's better than me taking side medicine!"
The old man waved his hand, still scolding the two of them.
"Master, I know it's wrong. After all, Qingyun is still a small teenager, and at this time, it is as if he has done something wrong, and there is no longer the same cheerfulness in his tone.
"Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful here, I don't know what your kid is thinking, put away that face, don't be disgusting old man!"
Qingyun was ruthlessly exposed, and his face was a little unbearable, and he smiled embarrassedly.
"Master, the disciple will go down the mountain to visit relatives every day, and during this time, please take care of your health. Li Qingyun ignored the junior brother on the side, but spoke in a deep voice.
"Well, I remember for the teacher, you haven't been back for two years, and by the way, I will help the master give your father a birthday gift. The old man responded, and at the same time turned around, "Okay, go to bed early, Qingyun! Don't be caught by the gang tonight to steal something to eat!"
"Remember!" Qingyun nodded very obediently, and as soon as the old man turned around, he grimaced, and at the same time lowered his voice, "If you want to steal, you can't be discovered." ā
"En?" Lao Tzu, who had walked a few steps, moved slightly, so frightened that Qingyun immediately stood up straight and didn't dare to speak.
"Remember, if I know about stealing anything again, I will punish you for not eating for half a month. The old man's words made Qingyun scream with a bitter face all of a sudden.
At this time, the old man walked to the place where he had dropped the scabbard before, and his footsteps shook the ground, and the scabbard bounced up and was grabbed by him with one hand, and he threw it behind him at will.
Li Qingyun grabbed the flying scabbard, and the cracks on the simple scabbard were clearly visible.
"Take it and think about it yourself. The old man took the sword in one hand, bent over again and walked out of the courtyard coughing.
Behind him, Li Qingyun felt the touch of this scabbard, and then the sword body danced violently and retracted the sword into the sheath.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Yue Xiaofei's head was still groggy, looking at the candle flame that was about to burn out in front of him, and the person behind the candle flame, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
They had been looking at each other like this for a long, long time, and they didn't speak at this time, the other party basically looked at him with eyes full of interest, and Yue Xiaofei felt furious in his heart, and there were always some bad associations.
Although at this time, his fate is definitely not good.
Yue Xiaofei felt that he was chained to a wooden frame, and his waist was also restrained by an iron ring, and the whole person stood on the ground, thanks to the pull of these restraints, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
As for the environment, a damp, musty smell made him retch, though I don't know if it was also due to a head injury.
"I said, do I have flowers on my face? You have been staring at me for so long, or what do you think of me? Tell you, I'm a serious person. Yue Xiaofei was so weak that he was talking badly.
There was a moment of silence, and the candle burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Haha, okay! I knew at the casino that day that you were a very interesting person!"
The owner of the voice turned out to be the owner of the gambling house who helped Yue Xiaofei once.
"It turns out that you have really paid attention to me for so long, it seems that my charm is really great, both men and women. Yue Xiaofei smiled gloomily.
After seeing that face before, Yue Xiaofei thought about it and didn't know why this thing was arresting him, so he gave up thinking at this time and could only say meaningless words.
"Hehe, don't worry, you're a good partner, you won't die, although some people really want you to die. The man walked up to Yue Xiaofei, and the candlelight near him flickered on and off.
"Hey... What to work with... I don't wash my hands anymore...."Yue Xiaofei's physical strength was a little unbearable, and his voice gradually became quieter.
Suddenly, there was a sound of chains pulling in the darkness, and a slight sound of footsteps sounded, and the casino owner turned his head sideways and smiled at the darkness behind him, turning his head to look at Yue Xiaofei and retreating.
"Don't worry, I'll come back to you again. ā
The candle flame flickered, and finally it couldn't hold on, the fire went out, and the space went dark.
"Hey.... Feed... Since they're all so cooked, give me a drink of saliva.... Hey...."Yue Xiaofei's mouth was so dry that he screamed as loudly as he could, but there was no response.
Yue Xiaofei was crushed by the darkness that shrouded him for the last moment, and he lowered his head and fainted again.
