Chapter 165: The Death of Xinming
The bamboo forest in the early morning is very cool, and the sky is full of morning glow, and today must be a good weather with clear skies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's go" Liu Yifan ordered to turn on the horse's back, and the horse walked slowly on the hooves and walked in this bamboo forest.
After walking all morning, I didn't pass through this large bamboo forest at noon, but I had an unexpected discovery, at the foot of a mountain full of bamboo, there was a waist-high wooden plaque, and there was the word 'Sword Village' on it, and on the hillside of the wooden plaque, there were stone paved steps straight to the top of the mountain.
Liu Yifan looked at the stone steps, I am afraid that there are no less than a thousand steps, it is magnificent, it is not easy to spend so much effort to build such a long staircase in this bamboo sea!
After Mingyue got off the horse, she also walked to the bottom of the stone steps, glanced at the word sword village, vigorous and powerful, and there was actually a kind of palpitation that made her feel heartbeats, it was really weird, so she asked Liu Yifan, "Master, this word, especially the sword word, do you see if there is something strange, as if a stroke is a move."
"Yes, the person who wrote these two words is a master, and he is a master of swordsmanship" Liu Yifan said and walked over, stroked these two words with his fingers, and said, "This word is carved out with sword qi"
Mingyue heard this, her heart trembled, sword qi, of course, she could also use the peerless sword to urge it out, and easily engrave it, looking at Liu Yifan's eyebrows tightened, I am afraid that it is definitely not simple, she said that she is a master, and it must be an existence that she needs to look up to.
"Master, who carved this word?"
"Aunt Liu, Sister Mingyue, why did you come here, hey, how can there be such a long stone ladder" Long Er happily ran over and looked at the long ladder and the wooden sign, a little excited.
"This is Sword Village, the villagers above will definitely know swordsmanship, Aunt Liu, let's go up and have a look" Long Er looked at Liu Yifan and Mingyue expectantly after speaking.
Liu Yifan turned his head to look at this cute child, his face showed two dimples, and said with a smile, "Long'er, later, you see those people who can play with swords, do you want to test them?"
Mingyue heard Liu Yifan's slightly teasing words, and shook her head in her heart, this master can really play, even a child has to tease.
When Long Er heard this, he immediately jumped up and clapped his hands, and the three of them also began to walk to the stone stairs and climb up step by step.
The three of them climbed up the stone steps to the top but were disappointed, for there was no village on it, but a statue carved in the size of a life-size.
Liu Yifan walked to the stone statue and saw a row of words engraved on the base.
'Land of the Sword Saint and the Sword'
Mingyue followed up and saw this line of words, and then looked at the statue, with long hair and flowing hair, a tall body, and the two expressive sword eyebrows on the face, and a pair of blazing and deep eyes, which were really subtle and slightly warped, and this stone statue seemed to be a real person.
"The land of the Sword Saint and the Sword, I don't regret it for a lifetime, hahahaha!" Liu Yifan broke a sentence, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Aunt Liu, is this the Sword Saint? The idol in my heart is the Sword Saint! Is this his true face, wow, really... I'm so excited" Long Er looked at the statue with excitement, and his face was almost crooked.
Liu Yifan stood in place, his eyes fixed on this statue, Mingyue and Long'er did not bother at a glance, and carefully looked at and caressed the statue, and from time to time he was tired of looking at it, and ran to the edge of the mountain to look at it.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yifan's mouth, she could already see that this statue was not erected for him, but carved by himself with the swordsmanship he had learned.
Liu Yifan glanced down at the boulder under her feet, and sure enough, she verified the idea in her heart, this mountain top must have been a boulder before, and after walking a few steps, she found that the surrounding area was extremely empty, and as far as the eye could see, it was the rolling green mountains and bamboo forests.
The bright sunlight reflected a golden light on Liu Yifan's face, and the hem of her skirt swayed in the wind, and she walked in front of this stone statue again!
"Buzz..."Many black diamond pieces suddenly appeared in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a large white sword was formed.
Long Er's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide and wanted to make a sound, Mingyue immediately walked behind him and covered his mouth, Long'er glanced back at Mingyue, and immediately nodded to Mingyue, and hurriedly stared at Liu Yifan, who was dressed in white.
Liu Yifan stood in place with the Sancai Sword in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, his heart was calm, feeling the wind, the sunshine, and how beautiful the world was.
"Buzz!" The three-talent sword in his hand screamed, and Liu Yifan, who was still and did not move, slowly began to dance with the three-talent sword in his hand, and after the belt of the gauze vest turned into the three-talent sword, this dance was blown away by the wind.
Liu Yifan danced the Sancai sword like the fairy descending to earth, and the sword blade slowly erupted with a scorching milky white cold light, and the sword was like an arm in his hand, and the human sword was one.
"Woooo
"Booming ........."
The long sword suddenly slammed towards the statue of the Sword Saint, Mingyue tried hard to see the cold long sword, but the speed became faster and faster, and the statue completely turned into a white ball of light in front of the statue and enveloped Liu Yifan.
Long Er's eyes widened, her face was full of shock, and she couldn't help but remember that this beautiful Aunt Liu was also a kendo master, and she began to compare her with the idol in her heart, and in the end, she couldn't tell who was strong and who was weak.
"Hum!" The ball of light completely dispersed, and the wind blew violently on the top of the mountain, and the statue raised a puff of wind and dust, revealing Liu Yifan with a sword, Mingyue and Long'er hurriedly looked.
"Master, you..." Mingyue glanced at Liu Yifan, and then saw the statue, her face was a little speechless, because the good statue of the Sword Saint actually turned into Liu Yifan's appearance.
"Ah, why did Aunt Liu's statue of the Sword Saint become yours?" Long Er also saw the appearance of the statue clearly, and his face was a little angry.
Liu Yifan threw the Sancai sword into the air, and the sword turned into a belt again, and after Liu Yifan tied it slowly, he looked at Xiaolong'er.
"Ah...!" Long Er was immediately frightened when he saw Liu Yifan's eyes, because those eyes were like an ancient bloodthirsty giant beast, which frightened him into a spirit.
"Holy Spirit Sword Technique, Sword Twenty-two, it really deserves its name!" Liu Yifan seemed to say to himself, but Mingyue and Long Er could hear it clearly.
"Master, you said that this statue was carved out of the sword qi of the sword saint himself?" Mingyue didn't pay attention to Long'er's strange appearance, but instead asked Liu Yifan to come along.
"Yes, this statue is Sword Twenty-two, and it is also the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, but the most elite Sword Twenty-Three, I don't have a chance to see it again, because that sword, I can't do it, that Sword Twenty-Three needs someone to make their own sword, Long'er, come here, since you have a fate today, the Sword Twenty-two in this Holy Spirit Sword Method can be passed on to you"
"Master!" Mingyue said angrily, her face was a little unhappy, and she was dissatisfied with Long'er being able to get the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.
Long Er hurriedly ran to Liu Yifan happily and looked up at her dryly, but Liu Yifan suddenly didn't move, and he was too embarrassed to speak, so he had to stand in place at a loss.
"Okay, there is no pen and paper here, we take advantage of the good weather, we must be about to arrive at the Motuo Lanruo Temple, and I will give you the Holy Spirit Sword Technique when we get there."
Long Er's face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, shrugged her head, and followed her down the mountain weakly, Mingyue also had some helplessness on her face.
"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"
When Liu Yifan walked to the foot of the mountain of the Motuo Lanruo Temple, he heard the bell ring on the mountain, and he had an intuition in his heart, so he immediately ran towards the mountain.
"Mingyue, sister, what's the matter?" Long Er was also a little excited, because this mountain was the Motuo Lanruo Temple, and he came to find his biological father, because he should know it soon, and he couldn't help but feel more worried.
"Let's hurry up the mountain," Mingyue said, and immediately got off the horse, and then strode up the mountain trail.
Liu Yifan almost rose to the sky, and went directly to the familiar place, her old friend Xinming should be in the Motuo Lanruo Temple, when Puhang was defeated by Nasheng Nierge, and this Sheng Nierge became a demon, this bell seems to be urgent and ringing, and I am afraid that something has happened on the mountain.
"Oh no, no... The support was killed, everyone quickly close the temple door, search the mountain, and find the person who killed the host" A group of monks hurriedly ran to the square outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall to gather, and saw a chubby monk on the platform shouting in a panic.
Liu Yifan went up the mountain to find the Daxiong Treasure Hall according to the previous road and the sound, and the group of monks were also very strange why Liu Yifan suddenly arrived.
"Amitabha, hello Lord Liu, you are one step late, and the family teacher is ...... I was killed in the wing!" A middle-aged monk in a yellow monk's robe walked out and shouted a Buddha name.
"Your master Xinming is dead, you are the apprentice of Xinming back then, right?" Liu Yifan walked quickly to the monk, and many monks were also shocked that the pace was too fast, and they arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Monk Cijue has a fat head and big ears, very rich, seeing Liu Yifan come to him in the blink of an eye, there is no panic in his eyes, no surprise, obviously he has known it for a long time, staring at Liu Yifan and said, "This is the old friend of the host, the unequaled city lord, please come with me, go and see my master."
After speaking, the monk turned around and led the way, Liu Yifan followed behind the monk Cijue and was also thinking about the death of that Xinming, and soon arrived at a side room.
"Squeak" Cijue pushed open the chambers, and when he saw Xinming, he was sitting on the futon in a monk's robe, but the whole person was completely silent, still holding the small wooden fish in his hand, and it seemed that he should be chanting the scriptures before he died.
After Liu Yifan entered the house, he walked in front of this Xinming, and after careful inspection, it seemed that there were no obvious injuries on his body, but when he touched his corpse with his hand, it was actually hot! And there was still some hot feeling! However, she did not show her surprise, her face was still puzzled and curious, and after continuing to inspect it a few times, she turned to Cijue and said, "When did you find out that Xinming died?"
When Cijue heard this, he touched his head, and then said lightly, "Not long ago, a monk came to ask the master to do the morning class, you don't know that since my master took refuge in Buddhism, the morning, noon and evening classes will be attended with the monks in the temple, and then the monk knocked on the door and found that no one answered, so he hurriedly ran to me, I was afraid that something would happen, bring someone to come, who would have thought that something really happened."
"Master, he must have killed someone" Cijue's words made Liu Yifan completely clueless, in fact, she vaguely guessed that a person might do this, but she didn't want to believe it, because why did that person sneak up on killing Xinming?
