Chapter 53: The Hidden Sword Pavilion
The Hidden Sword Pavilion is a four-storey building that looks like an iron tower from afar.
It is not far behind the ** hall, and the location is easy to find, but this place is surrounded by towering trees, and there is only one path leading to the attic, so if you want to enter, you will inevitably expose the shape.
Xiao Guanxue followed Su Ling'er out of the school martial arts hall all the way to the west, and it didn't take long for him to see the towering spire of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Xiao Guanxue frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what it is, but looking at the situation, it must not be a place to wait!"
Su Ling'er smiled faintly: "Whatever it is Longtan Tiger's Den, as long as you can see the owner!"
Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but climb a big tree and look in through the gap in the branches and leaves, but seeing a stone step leading to the top, Xiao Guanxue roughly estimated it, and said in his heart: "It seems that there are at least three hundred steps!"
He jumped down the tree gently, and then said to Su Ling'er: "It seems that if you want to go up, you can only climb the stone steps!"
"That's right! There are too many trees around here, and it's inconvenient to walk through, so it seems that you can only take risks!" Su Ling'er said.
"Have you been there?" Xiao asked Guanxue.
"Nope. Su Linger said.
"I have a bad premonition, there must be an ambush there!" Xiao Guanxue said very worriedly.
"I look like it, but since I'm already here, I have to touch it and take a look!" Su Ling'er said and walked over first.
Xiao Guanxue then followed Su Ling'er, lightly walked through the woods, and headed towards the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Xiao Guanxue secretly wrote down the way back as he walked, and as for taking a few steps and turning a few corners, he already had a general impression in his heart.
"It seems that this place is really unusual!" Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but turn around and say to Su Ling'er.
However, where is Su Linger's shadow at this moment?
Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but call softly: "Ling'er, Ling'er?"
The woods were quiet, only a few bird cries could be heard occasionally, but where was the slightest echo from Su Linger?
Xiao looked at the dense woods around the snow, and couldn't help frowning: "This Su Ling'er really has a problem!"
Seeing that he was out of the woods three zhang away in front of him, Xiao Jianxue didn't hesitate at the moment, and walked straight out of the woods and climbed the mossy stone steps.
It's a little wet here, and the road is a little slippery, but fortunately, Xiao saw that the snow was not as good as it, and he walked smoothly.
Every time he went up the steps, Xiao Jianxue would count them in his heart, and after walking about thirty-six steps, suddenly, a cold laughter came from the dense forest.
Xiao was startled when he saw Xue, and his right hand had already clenched the hilt of the sword!
This burst of laughter sounded, and there was no movement for a long time, but Xiao Guanxue's back was covered in a cold sweat.
Xiao Guanxue looked up at the winding stone steps, frowned slightly, and said secretly in her heart: "I want to see where this is!"
Xiao Kanxue made up his mind, continued to climb upward, and walked thirty-six stone steps, suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of him, blowing the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the stone steps, and many birds in the forest were frightened!
Xiao looked at the snow and smiled slightly: "Who is pretending to be a ghost here, why don't you dare to come out to meet?"
Where is the slightest response?
Xiao saw that Xue stood in the yin wind for a long time, and there was no movement, so he had to be bold and continue to move forward!
After walking about thirty-six stone steps, countless arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the road, Xiao Guanxue hurriedly waved his sword to block, and before it could be dissipated, a broken arrow fell on the ground!
Then, all of a sudden, there was no movement!
Xiao Guanxue stared coldly at the remnant arrows on the ground, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Rats!"
As soon as he scolded, more than a dozen black-clothed men suddenly burst out of the forest, each holding a spear, and when he saw Xiao Jianxue, he stabbed him head-on without asking questions!
Xiao looked at the snow and fought and retreated, and was feeling annoyed, but he heard a person shouting violently: "Stop!"
Under this order, more than a dozen black-clothed men immediately put away their spears and stood aside very obediently, one by one lowering their heads as if welcoming the saint.
Zhou Yi jumped down and said with a smile: "Why did Xiao Gongzi come here to make trouble when he didn't rest in the room?"
"I'm idle, just strolling around, but I don't know that I'm getting lost here, forgive my sins, forgive my sins!" Xiao Guanxue hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Xiao Gongzi's matter, the owner of the village already knows, I don't think you need to pretend anymore, right?" Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and then said: "Xiao Gongzi, the owner of the village is already waiting in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, please come with me!"
Xiao saw that Xue was seen through his thoughts, and his face was unhappy for a while, and he followed Zhou Yi very safely to the gate of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Zhou Yi knocked on the door of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but look around, but saw that the pavilion was extremely cold, although it was daytime, it was dark inside.
As soon as the front foot stepped into the threshold, a cold chill rushed towards him!
Xiao looked at Xue and groaned slightly, and followed into the attic.
The first floor was very spacious, and the room was filled with wooden shelves on all sides, on which were placed a number of black wooden boxes, each with two candles in front of it, but none of them were lit at this time.
In the middle of the room, there was a huge oil lamp, at this time, it was suddenly lit, and the whole room was immediately lit as if it was day, the obvious dazzling light immediately pierced Xiao Guanxue's eyes painfully, he couldn't help but use his hands to block the light, and after his eyes were a little adapted, he suddenly found an old man in an apricot yellow robe standing in front of him.
This old man has a silver beard, a serene demeanor, and a natural demeanor, he smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Gongzi is young and promising, he is really a rare genius!"
Xiao Guanxue smiled faintly: "The seniors have won the award!"
"Do you know who I am?" said the old man with a wink and a smile.
"Isn't the predecessor the owner of this village?" Xiao Guanxue asked boldly.
"That's right, the old man is Liu Yijian, the owner of the Sword Villa!" Liu Yijian smiled slightly, "The old man is rarely involved in the rivers and lakes, presumably the young man must not know!"
"Where is my sword?" Xiao Guanxue asked lightly.
"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude!" Zhou Yi rebuked angrily.
With a wave of Liu Yijian's right hand, Zhou Yi hurriedly stopped, lowered his head and retreated.
Recently, I heard that Shaoxia has a Xuanyin sword, which is a relic of the nameless sword in the past, and he has long been yearning for it! Here, the old man apologizes to the young man on their behalf!"
Listening to Liu Yijian's rambling for a long time, Xiao Kanxue was already a little impatient, and said coldly: "I'm here just to get the sword!"
"The sword can be returned, but not today!" Liu Yijian said as he stroked his silver beard.
"Why is that?" Xiao looked at the slopes.
"The young man first came to your land, but he killed several lives in a row, if there is no explanation of this matter, I am afraid that the doormen in the village will not be able to stand it!" Liu Yijian said with a smile.
"If you can't stand it, just ask me for a theory, but my sword must be returned!" Xiao Guanxue said coldly.
"Shaoxia is so big!" The smile on Liu Yijian's face suddenly fell, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
"It is clearly written on the door, this is the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Xiao looked at the snow and said lightly.
"Do you know what this place is for?"
"It's none of my business!"
Liu Yijian smiled coldly and said: "This is where the ashes of those who have given their lives for the villa are stored, and the young man has already committed the taboo of the village by breaking in today! Moreover, he has killed several people in a row before, which has long been intolerable to the village, I originally said with a heart of cherishing talents, how do I know that you are stubborn and arrogant to this point, could it be that you really have no one in my villa?"
"If I follow what my predecessors said, what should I do?" Xiao Guanxue asked tentatively.
"I am a person who loves talents, if the young man does not give up and is willing to serve in the villa, then I will not pursue the past, I hope the young man will do it himself!" Liu Yijian said very sincerely.
"So you want to pull me in!" Xiao Guanxue smiled slightly and said, "Do you know that I have already joined the Star Picking Tower?"
"Hahahaha!" Liu Yijian laughed wildly, "If you hadn't joined the Star Picking Building a long time ago, how could the old man be so cheap to you?"
"It turns out that you dragged me into the gang, and you still saw the face of Xinglou!" Xiao Guanxue said very disdainfully.
"Otherwise, do you think you can have such a face as a hairy boy?" Liu Yijian smiled miserably, his face was indescribably gloomy, "I don't accept unknown people under my subordinates, let alone incompetent people!"
When Xiao Guanxue heard this, she suddenly laughed very happily: "It's ridiculous that you have heard of the Star Picking Tower, but you don't know the rules of the Star Picking Tower!" 'Once you enter the Star Picking Tower, you will not die and will not be removed', haven't you heard of this well-known sentence? How could I secretly cast a pearl with a few words from you?"
When Liu Yijian heard this, he paced in place very uneasily, and after a long time, he suddenly asked coldly, "You really don't join?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Kanxue said this coldly, and the long sword in his hand was horizontal to his chest, "If you have any tricks, just come!"
Liu Yijian glared at Xiao Guanxue coldly, and then said with a smile: "It's hateful that young people are too uninteresting!"
When he said this, he suddenly sat down on the chair, and slapped his hands on the chair, and a door opened behind the chair, and then the chair withdrew from the door, and at this moment, the door to the first floor was suddenly closed!
The whole room suddenly became indescribably quiet, and at this moment, when I saw a flash of light, a flame instantly rolled over the shelves dedicated to the ashes of the dead, and then the candles were instantly ignited!
Xiao Guanxue stared coldly at everything in the room, quietly listening to the movements in the room, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from his hands because of his clenched sword!
At this time, a person slowly walked down the stairs, he was wearing a black tights, his figure was thin, his face was indescribably cold and dark, his figure was always straight, and a long sword in his hand was tightly attached to his leg, as if it was integrated with his left leg!
After the man in black stood still in front of Xiao Guanxue, he glared at Xiao Jianxue coldly, and said, "Today, you and I must have one to lie down!"
Xiao Kanxue replied coldly: "Good luck!"
The man in black slowly drew his long sword, pointed diagonally to the upper right, and said coldly: "My name is Jin Undefeated, if I die in battle, please pass me on my name!"
"No problem!" Xiao Guanxue slowly pointed the long sword in his hand at the man in black.
The two of them confronted each other for about a cup of tea, and suddenly Jin Undefeated roared, and his body quickly rushed towards Xiao Guanxue, and Xiao Guanxue also hurriedly attacked Jin Undefeated.
Jin's undefeated sword moves quickly and fiercely, but Xiao Guanxue's sword is flexible and changeable, and his moves are ruthless!
The two of them met their opponents this time, and they fought more than 30 moves, but they still didn't know the winner, and the two actually felt sorry for each other!
Suddenly, Jin Undefeated stabbed a sword, his body had retreated to the side, and he laughed loudly: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is good, and you are really a fierce opponent in life!"
Xiao Kanxue accepted the sword move, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is not bad!"
"But I never understand, why don't you use your Seven Absolute Sword?" Jin Undefeated frowned.
"There is no living mouth under the Seven Absolute Swords!" Xiao Guanxue said coldly.
If you can see the power of the Seven Peerless Swords with your own eyes, you can die without regrets!" Jin Undefeated said and suddenly became excited, "Your Excellency, come on!"
Xiao Guanxue said coldly: "I respect you as a man, I can't bear to take your life, Your Excellency don't force you!"
"Although you and I met late, but we hit it off at first sight, if we can't see the Seven Absolute Swords in person this time, then we will definitely regret it in this life, and please fulfill it!"
"Your Excellency has walked thirty moves under my hands, which is already rare, why do you spare your life so much?" Xiao saw a trace of pain on his face!
"I hope Your Excellency will be fulfilled!"
"Good!"
Xiao Guanxue didn't say much when she said this, and as soon as her body was stretched, the long sword attacked.
"Happy!"
Jin is undefeated when he sees the move, and it is really difficult to hide his joy!
But Wen Xiao looked at the snow and roared angrily: "The first style of the Seven Absolute Swords 'One Smoke and Rain'!"
Jin Undefeated suddenly felt that the sky was full of sword rain, and he didn't know where it was, so he had to resist desperately, but when he heard the crisp sound of "clanging", the sparks provoked by the long sword flew around, at this time, Xiao Guanxue shouted: "The second style, 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl'!"
Jin Undefeated suddenly felt that the figure in front of him flashed, Xiao Guanxue's long sword was even more flickering left and right, and he didn't know where it was true for a while, so he turned his heart sideways and chose a random direction to attack, but when he heard a "snort", he suddenly felt a pain in his left arm, and blood splashed out!
At this time, Xiao watched Xue Jian make a move, and suddenly shouted: "The third style, 'Ruthless Three Slashes'!"
Jin Undefeated has not yet stood still, Xiao Guanxue's body has been suspended in the air, he cut down the long sword with extremely fast speed and strength, Jin Undefeated had to fight to raise his sword to block, but he could block one sword but could not block two swords, just under the third slash, the long sword in his hand was cut off alive, if it wasn't for Xiao Guanxue to collect the sword move in time, that move would definitely kill him!
Jin Undefeated looked at the remnant sword in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I'm defeated!
Xiao Guanxue slowly put the sword into the sheath and said very calmly: "It's not easy for you to pick up my three moves!"
Jin Undefeated smiled miserably, threw away the remnant sword in his hand, and said slowly: "Jin will never practice swords again in this life!"
"Your Excellency, why is this?" Xiao asked in confusion.
"Because any swordsmanship is just an ornament compared to the Seven Absolute Swords! Jin has already seen the power of the Seven Absolute Swords, even if he spends his entire life, it will be difficult to reach this realm, so Jin will never learn swords again in this life!" Jin Undefeated said this, sighed heavily, and his face was indescribably desolate.
"Then Brother Jin can help me in the next favor?" Xiao looked at the snow road.
"Please!"
"There are still a lot of masters here, can Brother Jin go out with me?" Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but glance at the stairs leading to the second floor.
Jin Undefeated smiled faintly: "If you ask me, I will definitely help!"
Xiao Guanxue smiled faintly: "Okay, I beg you!"
