Qiu Xin walked into the open space surrounded by the bamboo forest, and saw eight people standing side by side, looking at him together, among them was Zong Rui, whom he saw when he came to the Hanging Cliff Peak that day.

The eight of them were all dressed in brown clothes and stood with swords in their hands, Qiu Xin was stunned when he saw this, and was about to bow down, when one of the short-haired disciples walked out of it and said, "Senior Brother Yin, we have been waiting here for a long time. ”

This person gives people a very capable feeling, and then introduced Qiu Xin to a few people standing, this short-haired disciple is named Zeng Fanyi, in addition to Zong Rui who Qiu Xin has seen, and Long Hanyun, the only woman in the Sword Hall, the other five people are Yang Jin, Wang Zhi, Zhang Jibi, Liu Buqin, Hu Can.

The eight people are all disciples who joined the Sword Hall after this apprenticeship ceremony, and now with Qiu Xin, there are a total of nine people in the Sword Hall, and Zeng Fanyi went on to introduce Qiu Xin.

There are five bamboo houses in total, but there are nine of them, so the other four people have to go to live elsewhere, which extinguishes Qiu Xin's original idea of living in the bamboo forest, and he is slightly disappointed.

As soon as Zeng Fan saw this, he continued to say to Qiu Xin, "Senior Brother Yin, in fact, it is okay not to live in these five bamboo houses, but it is of great benefit to practice the hidden spirit technique in the bamboo house.

So everyone wants to live in the bamboo house, among the eight of us, you can pick one person at will, as long as you defeat him, you can occupy his bamboo house, this is what the master told us on the first day we joined the Sword Hall.

"You mean Elder Ling?" Qiu Xin said in surprise.

Zeng Fan chuckled when he heard this, "Senior brother's words are wrong, Elder Ling is not a person from the Sword Hall, so the master I am talking about is not his old man, but the sect master." ”

Qiu Xin was stunned when he heard this, but he was quickly relieved, since the master left the Sword Hall, the entire Sword Hall also fell apart, and there was no hall master, at this time, it was reasonable for the sect master to teach the disciples of the Sword Hall.

However, Qiu Xin immediately understood that Yin Lingzi's move was also to stimulate the disciples of the Sword Hall to be diligent and hardworking, which could be beneficial to the cultivation of the Hidden Spirit Technique, so naturally no one would let it go, no wonder Ling Lao said that they would only practice swords.

At this time, the disciple named Yang Jin walked up and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Yin, you are new here, and Senior Brother will not take advantage of you, this bamboo house will borrow you for ten days first." ”

This person's figure is the same as Qiu Xin, quite thin, but very tall, and his facial features are very prominent, I didn't expect that Qiu Xin would be so generous when I saw Qiu Xin for the first time, and he was willing to give up the bamboo house.

But when the others heard this, they looked at Qiu Xin with some amusement, and the black-faced man named Zhang Jibi stepped back, his tone was slightly disdainful, and said, "Senior Brother Yang, although Senior Brother Yin has just arrived, he has already been able to break through the stick formation, and he still needs you to give up the bamboo house?"

When Yang Jin heard this, he put away the smile on his face, glared at Zhang Jibi, greeted him with a smile, pulled Qiu Xin and said, "Senior Brother Yin, our senior brother will inevitably hurt the harmony, as long as you come up with this number, I will give you the bamboo house." ”

Saying that, Yang Jin stretched out his hand, compared to three fingers, Qiu Xin didn't know why, and he was also a little embarrassed, and threw himself to this Zeng Fan to ask for a look, only to see him shake his head and smile, "Senior Brother Yang, don't mess around, Senior Brother Yin just came, you can't mess with the rules, so let's do it, you can have a fight with him, whether you win or lose, the bamboo house will be given to Senior Brother Yin, if you win, I will give three taels of silver." ”

Only then did Qiu Xin understand that Yang Jin wanted to sell the bamboo house for three taels of silver, no wonder he was blinded by Zhang Jibi, but after hearing Zeng Fanyi say this, Qiu Xin hurriedly refused.

"Now that the bamboo hut is full of people, I will go to live outside, and I will come back to ask for advice when I have the opportunity in the future." "But Yang Jingang has a way to make money, how can he let him leave.

Pulling him Zhengse, he said, "No, the silver is not from you, besides, I won't hurt you, with your ability to comprehend Lingxiao's nine steps and break through the stick formation, will you still be afraid that I won't succeed?"

Qiu Xin smiled bitterly in his heart, he had just separated from Ling Lao, and he was stopped by these senior brothers, not just wanting to meet and greet him.

Judging from the tradition of the Sword Hall and even the bamboo house to decide the ownership through sword competition, it must be the most competitive among the seven halls, and these people are probably more eager to test themselves.

After all, he was accepted as an exception and joined the Sword Hall, and it is reasonable for him to be regarded as an opponent, if he doesn't make a move today, I'm afraid Zeng Fan and a few people will not give up.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xin said calmly, "Then it will be according to what Senior Brother said, but we will stop here, and please be merciful to Senior Brother." ”

Yang Jin laughed when he heard this, "Senior brother, wait for the money." At this time, Liu Buqin, Wang Zhi, and Hu Can, who were standing on the side, also said with a smile, "We also press Yang Jin's junior brother to win." ”

Zeng Fanyi was a little hesitant at this time, if it was Yang Jin alone, he only needed to pay a share of money, but with the addition of these three people, it was possible, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "The three of you, if Senior Brother Yin wins, you will have to give the same money to Senior Brother Yin." ”

The three of them glanced at each other and laughed even louder, "No problem, if Senior Brother Yin wins, we will pay double the price." Qiu Xin was even more speechless, he couldn't imagine that as soon as he arrived in the Sword Hall, he would be used by these people for gambling.

The black-faced sweaty Zhang Jibi didn't participate, he was already sitting on the sidelines, ready to watch, and the frosty woman Long Hanyun didn't seem to be interested, and looked at all this coldly.

However, Zong Rui was very surprised at first when he saw Qiu Xin join the Sword Hall, and then saw a few people betting, stepped forward with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, "I will pay fifty taels of silver, and I bet on Senior Brother Yin to win." ”

The laughter of several people suddenly stopped, Zeng Fan was a little surprised, and asked, "Senior Brother Sect also has to bet, it is very rare, Senior Brother Yin, you must win." ”

Yang Jin and the others began to smile again, with Zong Rui's fifty taels of silver, they would definitely be able to make a lot of money, and then, the others scattered to the edge of the bamboo forest, giving way to a large open space, Yang Jin finally stopped laughing, held his sword and said, "Senior brother, let you have three swords first." ”

Qiu Xin bowed down, drew his sword and said, "Offended." Taking the lead, the sword qi brought up the bamboo leaves on the ground, and Yang Jin put the sword in his hand across his chest and pushed it outward.

Qiu Xin was a little angry when he saw that he didn't take himself in his eyes so much, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase by three points, but it was Yang Jin's gentle push, which just blocked Qiu Xin's sword move.

Then he pushed it forward, and the sword in Qiu Xin's hand bent, but it did not slip, and all the strength of the two of them was condensed on the tip of the sword.

Seeing this, Qiu Xin's eyes froze, Yang Jin's control of strength was still above himself, so he hurriedly put away his sword and returned, just when the long sword was straightened, Qiu Xin did not continue to retreat, but moved down half an inch, wanting to take advantage of Yang Jin's failure to react and cross his sword blade.

Yang Jin didn't relax either, the sword in his hand slashed downward, and just when Qiu Xin's sword shadow was not very fast, it blocked it again, this time, Yang Jin didn't give Qiu Xin a chance to collect the sword, so he retreated.

As soon as the two fought, Qiu Xin felt that Yang Jin was not simple, first of all, his grasp of strength was amazing, and he was also very clear about the direction of his sword moves.

It seems random, but being able to block yourself so easily must be a long-term achievement, no wonder several other people are so confident.

Qiu Xin took a deep breath, picked up one hundred and eight sword moves, and attacked Yang Jin with the most exquisite sword moves, wanting to see how he could resist.

This time, Yang Jin also put away his contempt and raised his sword to stab Qiu Xin's sword body, and in the process, the tip of the sword continued to tremble, meandering forward on Qiu Xin's sword trajectory.

Locked in front for a while, Qiu Xin couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to pass through this piece of sword blade phantom, but Yang Jin obviously wouldn't gamble his life.

With such a wide range of resistance, as long as Qiu Xin passes through one of the gaps, then Yang Jin will definitely fall behind, so Qiu Xin made up his mind that even if he is blocked, he will not suffer.

Just when Qiu Xin's sword reached the area shrouded in the shadow of the sword, he heard the sound of gold and iron, and only felt a strong force coming from the sword, and he was about to shake the sword out of his hand.

And Yang Jin's sword had stopped trembling, just blocking the tip of Qiu Xin's sword, and he said, "Senior brother, be careful, take my move." ”

This time, in the process of Yang Jin's exertion, the sword in Qiu Xin's hand did not bend, but just slid to the side, so that the distance between Qiu Xin and Yang Jin became closer and closer.

And Yang Jin used the sword to open the sword in Qiu Xin's hand, which made Qiu Xin's life wide open, although Qiu Xin began to retreat when he was blocked by Yang Jin at the beginning, but Yang Jin was obviously not lucky to stop himself.

At that moment, he started to move, and Qiu Xin only started to move after that, compared to the two, Qiu Xin had already fallen into the wind, but Qiu Xin stepped back and retracted his sword.

In the end, it was half a minute faster than Yang Jin, but at this time, Qiu Xin had no time to swing his sword to block Yang Jin, only to see Yang Jin's sword stop half an inch in front of him, Qiu Xin also put away the sword, and said, "Senior brother's sword moves are clever, and junior brother is not an opponent." ”

Yang Jin put away his sword and smiled, and said, "Senior brother is not bad, but I am just a trick." Qiu Xin naturally didn't believe it, and Wang Zhi and the three of them also smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, his bamboo house has never been robbed." ”

With the confidence of the three of them in Yang Jin, and Yang Jin was very sure that he would not pierce the sword shadow in the competition, Qiu Xin didn't know what method he used, but he must be a master.

If you lose in his hands, you won't lose it, so you looked at Zong Rui and Zeng Fanyi apologetically, but these two people didn't have much regret, Zeng Fanyi instead comforted Qiu Xin, "You just came, it's normal to lose in his hands, as long as you practice diligently, you can beat him sooner or later." ”

Qiu Xin also nodded, although there were only nine of them in the Sword Hall, but they all looked very good, although Zong Rui's expression was cold, he didn't care if he lost fifty taels of silver, of course, if Qiu Xin knew Zong Rui's identity, it would be another matter.

After that, Qiu Xin was enthusiastically taken to his bamboo house by Yang Jin, saying that if there was any need, you could find him, and Qiu Xin kept nodding.
