Chapter 50: Before the Storm
Hua Feihua took it and pulled it out, the turquoise sword body, the iron-cast hilt, and two semicircular green gems inlaid on both sides, echoed with the sword body. A green snake is carved at the end of the hilt, and the head of the snake opens its bloody mouth. The turquoise sword is engraved with two green snake motifs, intertwined with each other until the tip of the sword.
Hua Feihua: "Such a good sword must have a lot of origin." ”
Ding Yujing sat on a wooden chair on the side and said slowly: "There is a person in the rivers and lakes, Zhuge Xiao, known as Wolong, who says that he knows everything and everything, and he has dominated the world at the age of twenty-five, and no one can beat him. Consider himself the first in the world and retire to the rivers and lakes. After that, every ten years, a list of the world's weapons ranking will be thrown out on the rivers and lakes, and only the top ten will be listed. At first, no one was convinced, feeling that he was underestimated, and he wanted to find Zhuge Xiao but had nowhere to find it, so he could only go to the people who were ahead of his ranking, and the results were without exception, the fifth in the ranking would definitely not be able to win the fourth, and the fourth would definitely not be able to kill the third. Gradually, people in the rivers and lakes gradually got used to this ranking order. This sword is the emerald green snake that ranked ninth in the weapon spectrum five years ago, and this sword was won by me from a bet I made with the green snake king in the Hundred Poison Sect. At first, I thought it looked good, but after a long time, I got tired of playing with it, and I was still in the iron box. ”
Hua Feihua holds this sword and likes it very much. begged Ding Yujing again to pick a handful of cigarettes, and Ding Yujing agreed. When I was picking, I found that there were so many swords, all of them were famous swords, but I thought how hard my aunt had to work to collect so many high-quality weapons.
The two came out, Hua Feihua went to find Yiyan, and Ding Yujing went to find Xiahou Ding. Yiyan was helping to work in the kitchen for lunch, and saw Hua Feihua hurrying in with two swords in her hands, and asked, "Is something wrong?" Hua Feihua pulled Yiyan out of the door, found a place where no one was, and said: "Xiaoyaolin will have a battle with the Demon Sect in the near future, I hope you take Xiahou Ding outside to hide for a while, and come back when the wind calms down." ”
Ding Yujing went to the gate to look for Xiahou Ding, but couldn't find it, so he was a little anxious, so he went back to the courtyard and went straight to Xiahou Ding's room. Seeing that he was neatly dressed in the room, with short knives, flying knives, bone nails and other hidden weapons in his waist, a five-foot long sword behind his back, and a three-foot long sword in his hand, which seemed to be wearing an invulnerable black silk coat.
Xiahou Ding saw Ding Yujing come in, and said calmly: "Auntie, I know what you have to say, I have also heard about what happened on the rivers and lakes during this time. At the beginning, in order to take revenge, Brother Hua killed the King of Beiling and the former Jincheng Emperor Liang Taiyun, causing the Black Snake to take the opportunity to take away the two dragon-shaped rings, and the Heavenly Absolute Mountain also gave the four wolf-shaped rings to the Black Snake in order to protect himself. Black Snake is just an assassination organization, with superb killing methods, but no talent. There must be powerful people behind the scenes to support it, and in the world, Li Hongyu, the king of Tanglin, and Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, are the most ambitious. In the past three years, the rivers and lakes have been relatively peaceful, and the reason is that Li Hongyu, the king of Tanglin, has put all his energy on going to the Rakshasa Kingdom to find the horse-shaped ring. I don't know how many. The remaining two dragon rings are difficult to hold, but they are not impossible. Recently, the discerning people in the rivers and lakes have seen the ambition of the wolf, but unfortunately the people in the rivers and lakes cannot gather, they are just a rabble, and they can't become big weapons. Now Liang Taiyue, the son of Jincheng, is the king of Tanglin to fully support the throne, and he turns a blind eye to what the king of Tanglin has done. Seeing that Li Hongyu, the king of Tangling, joined forces with the Demon Sect, the Black Snake, the Desperate Zhuang, and many Jianghu sects to eradicate all those who had the ability to hinder him. Auntie, you said that even if I managed to run out, the world is so big, where can I go and where can I settle down?"
Xiahou Ding is fifteen years old this year, although he is young, he has been chatting with dignitaries and dignitaries as the owner of Xiaoyao Lin Shao, and he is very smart, and he can understand the trend of the world when he hears a few words in their mouths. Now Ding Yujing was very shocked by his words, and he was powerless to refute for a while. But after all, he was just his aunt, and said, "Go and discuss with your mother, if she agrees, you will stay." ”
Xiahou Ding hurriedly went out and went straight to Ding Yujue, and said what he had just said to Ding Yujing, hoping to get his mother's consent. Ding Yujue was also reluctant to let him go, and suddenly found that his son was already a tall and heroic adult, and he no longer had the naughty appearance when he was a child.
Ding Yujue: "If you are not against the other party, you can't fight hard, you know the secret room, you must protect yourself." Ding Yujue said this, and had other plans in his heart.
Xiahou Ding was very happy when he saw that his mother agreed, and said, "Everything is up to my mother." ”
Although there was no heavy snow on Tianjue Mountain, it was also extremely cold, and the leaves had already fallen, and the thick layer accumulated on the ground was gone, leaving only bare branches swaying in the cold wind. Tigers and leopards are hiding in caves, lazy.
In the past three years, Lu Yunli has devoted himself to cultivating internal strength and physical strength, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer. The cultivation of physical strength and internal strength is on a par with the first-class masters on the rivers and lakes. Due to the increase in strength, the ten steps and one kill are more than twice as fast as before, and the killing is invisible. Running in the mountains all year round, light work is also good, the mountain road is steep, such as walking on the ground, shuttling between the trees, like a spirit ape.
Liu Wuqiao and Deng Ruihu often ran up the mountain for two months to discuss things with Lu Muran, but Lu Muran did not call Lu Yunli, and he did not participate in it, so he didn't know what they said. In his spare time, he thinks about Hua Feihua and Yiyan and doesn't know where he is at this time, and he often thinks of Wu Xiaofei, and in the past three years, the Northwest Army has been very peaceful.
Running through the mountains, racing with leopards for speed. Suddenly, the bell rang at the top of the mountain, knowing that it was the signal for an urgent meeting. Rush up the hill quickly, and push open the Three Realms Gate in a row without panting. Hou Xiao practiced knife skills in the mountains, and when he heard the bell, he also rushed up the mountain. The two of them ran to the top of the mountain together. Hou Xiao was carrying a wide big knife on his back, and the blade weighed forty catties. It took Lu Muran a long time to get this large piece of fine iron, and he lived in Bianzhou City for a month to complete this knife with a wide blade, a flat head, and a wide back carved with a cloud-shaped cloud-sheltering knife. From now on, no matter where Hou Xiao goes, he will carry this big knife.
Lu Han was also fourteen years old at this time, two years younger than Hou Xiao, and inherited Lu Muran in his muscles and bones, peerless good muscles and bones, good understanding, and extremely smart mind. At the beginning, he fought against Lu Muran, and Lu Muran asked him to stand up straight with one leg and one hand, but now, he has to use all his limbs and two layers of martial arts to withstand him.
Song Xianglu has not left Tianjue Mountain in the past three years, and has been teaching her husband and children, Lu Muran taught Lu Han swords, guns and sticks, and Song Xianglu taught Lu Han to read and write.
On the top of the mountain, Lu Muran, Long Sword Immortal Liu Wuqiao, Tiger Head Knife Deng Ruihu, Thousand Hands Fairy Soup Dumpling, Hou Xiao, Lu Yunli, Lu Han, Song Balsam, except for the drunken madman Xia Gaoqi. Lu Muran saw that everyone was together, and said: "The Seven Stars of the Demon Sect have already appeared in the rivers and lakes, although they have not yet started to act against any of them, it is very likely that the Heavenly Absolute Mountain and the Xiaoyao Forest are their targets. It is their consistent practice to kill the king first to set an example. Gao Qi and Xia Kui, father and son, watched the scene in a different cave and couldn't get out. Wuqiao still goes to the Nine Gates Dart Bureau to sit down. Hou Xiao, Yunli, the two of you feed the tigers and leopards in the forest with meat every day, let them come alive, and patrol the forest. Tiggo is on guard at the top of the mountain. I have already communicated to Gao Qi, if the Demon Sect strikes against the other cave world first, let them give up there and quickly return to the Heavenly Absolute Mountain. If the Heavenly Peerless Mountain is attacked first, it will release a cloud-piercing arrow, and immediately return to the aid when it sees it. There is no bridge, during this time, if the dart board has business too far away, don't go. ”
And they were commanded, and they dispersed.
Sure enough, early in the morning of the second day, the Desperate Zhuang set out, brought hundreds of disciples, and surrounded the cave. At this time, there were no more guests in the cave, and they were all told of the danger by Xia Kui, and all the high-rollers dispersed. There are only three people in the entire Beiyou Cave Heaven, Xia Kui, Xia Gaoqi and an old man who sweeps the floor. At this time, I heard someone outside shouting: "Senior Xia, there is no blessing in the lower officials." A few days ago, the people in the village did not understand the rules and disturbed you, I brought my brother who was not angry to apologize to you, can you show your face, so that I can apologize. "It's been three years since Shangguan Wufu said this, and now coming here to apologize is just an introduction.
Although Shangguan Wufu colluded with the Demon Sect, he was still very jealous of the Heavenly Peerless Mountain, knowing that there were only the Xia family's father and son in the house, but he never dared to step further. I wanted to burn down this inn by fire outside, but the rivers and lakes have their own rules of the rivers and lakes, and they pay attention to fighting martial arts, and they can stir up a thousand waves with their martial arts talents, but they can't use this kind of indiscriminate means, if they use it, even if they win for a while, they will spread in the rivers and lakes in the future, and they will never be able to raise their heads again. What's more, Shangguan Wufu didn't have the courage to dare to touch the heavens and mountains.
Even if he shouted outside, he never dared to step further. Inside the house, Xia Gaoqi asked Xia Kui, "Do we release the cloud-piercing arrow and let the master send someone to relieve the siege." ”
Xia Kui waved his hand and said without cutting it: "Just the few waste firewood of the Shangguan family, relying on drinking some wine to increase internal strength, the three of us are enough." ”
Xia Gaoqi asked: "The three of them, are they even counted as Uncle Qiao?"
Xia Kui raised his tone and said, "Qiao Qing, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for so many years, can I do it!"
The old man was lying on the table and napping, a worn felt hat buttoned down his face. Hearing Xia Kui call himself, he didn't get up, and he couldn't see his mouth moving when his felt hat was buckled on his face, only a voice came out: "I took the Soul Snatcher Hook last night and brought it with me." As he spoke, he patted the bulge in his arms with his hand, and continued: "Even the Shangguan family is arrogant to such an extent, which shows that there are fewer capable people in the rivers and lakes. As he spoke, he was lying on the table all the time, and if it weren't for the sound coming from there, he would have thought that the man was asleep.
Since opening this store, Qiao Qing has been working as a sweeper here, never saying a word. Xia Gaoqi has not found out that there is such a number one person here for more than ten years, and he is deeply surprised.
Chapter 51: The Seven Stars of the Demon Sect
The shouting outside was constant, although what he said was a good word of apology, the meaning of the words was sarcastic, wanting to provoke the Xia family father and son to come out to fight through this move. Xia Gaoqi was originally a thunderbolt fiery nature, but he was always respectful in front of his father, Xia Kui did not give an order, Xia Gaoqi could only sit obediently.
Shangguan Wufu shouted outside for an hour, but when he saw that there was no movement inside, his voice was hoarse. Shangguan Wulu raised his throat again and began to shout, but it was not like Shangguan Wufu's statement. Shangguan Wulu's words began to be yin and yang, bitter and mean, which made people listen to it and be annoyed. Xia Gaoqi clasped his hands tightly to suppress the anger in his heart.
Another hour passed, and Shangguan Wulu's voice was hoarse. Then Shangguan Wushou went into battle, Shangguan Wushou was far less polite than the first two, and he scolded him when he opened his mouth, and scolded the Xia family's father and son from the ten generations of their ancestors to their wives and children.
Xia Gaoqi couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up to go out and fight hard. Xia Kui said slowly: "The Shangguan family is not afraid of death and insults outside, just to provoke us and lure us out, it can be seen that they have been prepared outside, and the reason why they didn't come in was because they were afraid of Tianjue Mountain." Let him scold, the big husband can bend and stretch. ”
Qiao Qing didn't know when to get up, still dressed in the shabby clothes of the past, with soul-snatching claws on both hands, and began to move the joints of his whole body in the room. It can be seen that he has not been active like this for a long time, and every movement will be accompanied by the sound of "gaba" between the bones. After Qiao Qing's movements were done, he felt brisk, just waiting for Xia Kui to give an order.
Xia Kui: "Old Qiao, don't be impulsive, within an hour they will be forced by the pressure of the Demon Sect and rush in." We just managed to raise our spirits and exterminate the five rats of the Shangguan family. ”
As Xia Kui expected, not long after, the door of the cave and the door of the cave were broken at the same time. There are Shangguan Wufu at the front door, and Shangguan Wulu is two. There are three people in the back door: Shangguan Wushou, Shangguan Wuxi, and Shangguan Wucai. A hundred and ten people poured in at the front and back doors. looked at the fierce posture of this group of people, but no one dared to take the lead first.
At this time, Xia Gaoqi asked loudly: "Which of you is Shangguan Wushou?"
Shangguan Wushou said loudly: "It's uncle, I, come over with a kind." Before the words fell, Xia Gaoqi had two more ghost head knives in his hand, and one arrow rushed to Shangguan Wushou. Shangguan Wushou has a lot of kung fu in his mouth, and his technique is also okay, seeing Xia Gaoqi standing in front of him like a god, the ghost head knife in his hand cut his head at a glance, and raised the sword in his hand to resist. Unexpectedly, how could Shangguan Wushou be able to resist the strength of this thousand catties, and even the people with the sword were a few steps away by Lun Fei, and slammed into the wall, and the sword body was folded at a right angle because of resisting the ghost head knife.
Qiao Qing whispered to Xia Kui: "I will go to the front door alone to resist, and your father and son will clean up the people at the back door as quickly as possible, and then come to the front door to support me." Xia Kui nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Qiao, be careful." ”
Qiao Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to the front door alone, with a pair of soul-snatching hook claws in his hands, and used a set of eagle claw skills, the hook claws increased the length of the attack, and five or six ruthless Zhuang disciples were killed in a row. Shangguan Wufu and Shangguan Wulu drew their swords one after another, and fought like tigers and wolves.
Xia Kui took out the sword that had been sealed for many years under the table, Chihong. The body of the sword is as red as refining fire, and it has not been touched for many years, and when it is pulled out, the red rainbow is still the same. Back then, it was sealed because this sword was too heavy, and now that it is taken out, I still feel that this kind of sword is difficult to control. didn't have time to think about such trivial matters, so he rushed to the back door with his sword, and his sword fell, instantly stabbing over more than a dozen ruthless Zhuang disciples.
Shangguan Wuxi held a crossbow arrow in his hand and kept shooting at Xia Gaoqi, who lifted a corpse on the ground to resist. His feet also kept kicking Shangguan Wuxi's corpses or blades, forcing Shangguan Wuxi's hands and feet to panic.
Shangguan Wucai came to fight Xia Kui with two guns, and in just three or four rounds, the two guns in his hands had been cut off for seven or eight sections, and he could no longer use them. The red rainbow in Xia Kui's hand would glow with rainbow light every time it was touched with blood, as if drinking blood. The red rainbow in Xia Kui's hand ranked eighth in the weapon spectrum twenty years ago, and the ranking was not what Xia Kui cared about, in Xia Kui's eyes, the first position in the world was not easy to sit on.
Shangguan Wucai ran out of blades in his hands, and ran to the back of the crowd in a hurry, and after running a few steps, he bumped into Tianji in the Seven Stars of the Demon Sect. In the eyes of Shangguan Wucai, Tianji is even more like a demon from hell, and Shangguan Wucai at this time has been paralyzed to the ground with fright. Tianji didn't look at Shangguan Wucai at all, but walked straight to Xia Kui and arched his hand: "Senior Xia, this time our Holy Xuan Sect intends to let Senior Xia join the gang, and when the time comes, we will win the world and ensure that your descendants will enjoy endless glory and wealth for all generations." ”
Xia Kui expected the Demon Church to come, so he was not flustered, and said to Xia Gaoqi, "Gaoqi, go and help your Uncle Qiao." Xia Gaoqi hesitated for a moment and ran quickly to Qiao Qing's side. Xia Kui said to Tianji: "I'm a bad old man who can't enjoy the glory and wealth, it's good to open a casino here." If you leave now, I'll just act as if nothing happened, and when I'm open, I'll welcome you to gamble for money. ”
Seeing that Xia Kui was soft and didn't eat, Tianji had already made a murderous intent in his heart, and slowly pulled out a soft sword from his waist in his hand, the sword body was as thin as paper, extremely sharp, shaking in the air like a dragon circling, the dragon roared for a long time, and its name was Youlong. Tianji stopped talking, and unfolded the Dragon Sword to face Xia Kui. The dragon in the middle of the Tianji hand is winding and straight, and it is difficult to discern the direction. The red rainbow in his hand several times could kill Tianji's life, but he was forced back by You Long. Xia Kui raised his hands and fought again, and with his left hand, he took out more than a dozen copper coins from his waist and held them in his hand, forming a snap of his fingers. With the thumb popped, the copper coin broke through the wind, making a "buzzing" sound in the air, and hit the dragon soft sword one after another.
The Youlong Soft Sword was too light and thin to withstand Xia Kui's strong finger power, and for a while, the Youlong Soft Sword was not controlled by Tianji. Xia Kui saw the opportunity and sent Chihong to Tianji's throat with his hand. Tianji couldn't avoid it, closed his eyes and waited for death. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and a bench flew towards Xia Kui. Xia Kui saw that the power was strong, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he put away his sword and avoided it, and the bench "boomed", bringing a gust of wind to sweep past Xia Kui's side, deeply embedded in the opposite wall.
Xia Kui looked in the direction where the stool was flying, and saw six people standing aside. Including Tianji, the person is the Seven Stars of the Holy Xuan.
Xia Kui never asked for help from Tianjue Mountain, precisely because he was afraid that the Seven Stars of the Demon Sect would take the opportunity to sneak attack, and now it seems that the Seven Stars of the Demon Sect are all there, so he doesn't have too much to worry about. A flint was secretly buckled in his hand, and one finger flicked to the iron box hanging on the roof, and seven cloud-piercing arrows were tied to the iron box, and the lead was placed on the outside of the iron box, and the flint hit the iron box, causing sparks and igniting the cloud-piercing arrows. In an instant, the fire flashed in the iron box, and seven cloud-piercing arrows shot into the air one by one.
Beyou Cave is thirty miles away from Tianjue Mountain, and even if you can't see the fireworks, you can hear a loud noise.
Lu Muran was always observing the Nine Gates Dart Bureau and the Cave Heaven, and when he saw the Heaven of the Cave Heaven sending a signal for help, he knew that the Holy Xuan Sect was attacking the Heaven of the Cave Sect, so he immediately asked Song Xianglu and Lu Han to hide in the dark room, and said to them: "If you don't see the people of the Heavenly Absolute Mountain coming back, you are not allowed to come out." Then he took Lu Yunli to gallop on horseback, leaving Deng Ruihu and Hou Xiao to look after the house.
The two of them ran wildly all the way, and after a while, they arrived at Beiyoudongtian, only to see fifty or sixty corpses lying horizontally and vertically in the inn, Xia Kui, Xia Gaoqi, and Qiao Qing were sitting in the room. Among the three, only Qiao Qing had some wounds on his body, and it was only flesh and skin.
Lu Muran asked Xia Kui: "Old Xia, what about the demon sect demons?"
Xia Kui: "Just now, the seven stars of the Demon Sect appeared here, and they sent out cloud-piercing arrows, and the seven stars of the Demon Sect saw that I sent a signal, and they didn't dare to fight." With Shangguan Wufu, Shangguan Wulu and the remaining disciples of the Ruthless Zhuang left quickly. Even Shangguan Wushou, Shangguan Wuxi, and Shangguan Wucai don't care about the life or death of the three people. After they left, I was about to question the three men, only to find that they all had deep nails stuck in their heads, and they had already died. ”
After Lu Muran heard this, he thought for a while and said loudly: "It's not good, hurry up and follow me to the Heavenly Absolute Mountain." ”
Everyone in the inn immediately understood that the Seven Stars of the Demon Sect were very likely to use the strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain. Lu Muran and Lu Yunli rode back to Tianjue Mountain, Xia Kui, Xia Gaoqi, and Qiao Qing also moved out of their horses and followed closely behind.
After a short time, Lu Muran had already rushed back to the top of the mountain, saw Deng Ruihu still patrolling around the yard, and went to the dark room to see that Song Xianglu and Lu Han were there, so he was relieved.
Then Xia Kui and his entourage also arrived, and they were relieved to see that everything was fine. Lu Muran said: "Don't have a cave that is too dangerous, don't go back for the time being." The gold and silver inside have long been carried to the mountain, and what remains is just an empty shell, and there is no point in guarding it anymore. Today, if the Seven Stars of the Demon Sect attack the three of you with all their strength at the beginning, I am afraid that there will be damage. Lao Xia and Lao Qiao went to the Nine Doors Dart Bureau, and Xia Gaoqi was on the mountain with me. He said to Song Balm: "Make more wine and food tonight, and the three of us will have a good drink today." Song Xianglu nodded, took the soup bag as a hand, and entered the kitchen.
Lu Muran, Xia Kui, and Qiao Qing told each other their opinions about the sudden attack of the Demon Sect today and the sudden withdrawal. Lu Muran just felt that there must be another conspiracy, and Xia Kui felt the same way. Qiao Qing felt that they must have withdrawn because they saw that it was difficult to get hold today.
Lu Yunli said to the side, "Master, can you listen to my thoughts." ”
Lu Muran always felt that Lu Yunli was thoughtful and had unique insights into things, so he said, "You say come and listen." ”
Lu Yunli: "The day before yesterday, we received a letter from Xiaoyao Lin Feiying, saying that their Heavenly Eagle Village was attacked by the Demon Sect Seven Stars at night, and the casualties were serious, but the owner of the village, Jia Tianying, was only injured on the skin. Today, there is another attack on the cave, Master Xia, Master Qiao, and the four senior brothers all retreated, obviously the Demon Sect Seven Stars did not intend to use all their strength, the reason was to prevent themselves from being damaged. This has always been contrary to the Demon Cult's style of doing things, and there must be another reason for it. I think the purpose is to keep the Loose Forest and the Heavenly Absolute Mountain in fear, and the Demon Sect is at this time to unleash its hands and feet and do its best to clean up the other sects. ”
