Chapter 27 Planting Flowers and Willows
Gao Fenglan picked up the topic again and said to Sima Long: "Although Master didn't teach us the art of joint attack in the end, my senior brother and I have joined forces to break through the rivers and lakes, and over the years, we have also accumulated a lot of ways and experience to cooperate with each other. Since you have this kind of thought, Long'er, we and my wife can provide some references, so as not to make more detours. ”
Dan Chenzi stroked his beard and smiled: "Since Long'er and Qian'er are willing to say this idea, they must have figured out some doorways; Pansong and Cuizhu are famous in the rivers and lakes, and the two of them have few opponents in the sword; With all these factors combined, this sword formation is about to come out, but I wonder if Long Er has thought of a name for it?"
Sima Long's face turned red and replied, "I originally wanted to name it 'Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang', but Qian'er didn't agree. As he spoke, he glanced at Ouyang Qian, who was also flushed.
It is called "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang", and the two of them should practice together, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Ouyang Qian said shyly: "Qian'er just thinks that in this way, it will be the same name as the swordsmanship of the two predecessors of You Long and Feifeng, which is very disrespectful." Therefore, I wanted to name this set of sword formations 'Silk Rain' to show the delicacy of swordsmanship. I wonder what your seniors think?"
Zheng Dapeng and Gao Fenglan laughed and said nothing, what is the name of the sword? It is clearly the lingering affection between children.
The two saints of Xiaoyao applauded again and again.
Out of the dust said: "Three hundred years ago, the four great magic skills of dragon, phoenix, floating, and shaking faced off against the rivers and lakes. Although the name of the wind and rain drifting and the candle shadow shaking is a bit unlucky, it dominates the martial arts with fast swords and light skills, but it is a pity that they have been lost one after another. Today's silk rain has the charm of the ancients, and it turns the anger into peace, which can be called a swan song. Wonderful!"
Out of the dust, Sima Long was fine, but Ouyang Qian's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at people.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly heard the sword howling outside, the sound became louder and louder, like a violent storm suddenly coming, endlessly, and everyone in the hall felt a chill.
The crowd was taken aback, and they rushed out of the hall.
When they arrived at the door, everyone saw clearly that it was Shangguan Rou who danced a sword at will in the courtyard, without any moves, but there was a faint sense of indescribable elegance between the fingers of the sword.
Sima Changkong saw that his heart moved, and a rare light flashed in the eyes of the old dragon clock, and secretly said that this is really an intentional planting of flowers and flowers, and he unintentionally planted willows and willows to make more shade, and the backbone of the new generation of Dingli Jianghu is about to take shape!
Looking at Chai Shaoning, who was practicing against Shangguan Rou, at this time he had already stretched his body to the limit, and the figure drawn out was circling and flying in the courtyard like a dragon, and the long sword in his hand was dancing more and more urgently, turning into light and shadow to cover his whole body tightly, and the chilling whistling sound was emitted from his flying sword. The extremely fast body technique with the sharp sword moves, the old and young people on the front steps of the hall were amazed and amazed.
The two saints of Xiaoyao had long heard about the small forces fighting the thieves, and they didn't think so before, but at this time, they saw the swordsmanship of Chai Shaoning and Shangguan Rou, and sighed in their hearts, the replacement of talents in the rivers and lakes, one generation is better than one generation, and the newcomer has been born, and he should also return to the mountains and forests.
Everyone sighed with emotion in their hearts, but they didn't know that Chai Shaoning in the fight had gradually entered a state of madness.
In Chai Shaoning's heart, she had already thought of Shangguan Rou as Gu Zhenming, but she felt that every sword she stabbed out casually was a fatal threat to herself.
If it was in actual combat, Chai Shaoning would naturally find a way to restrain the opponent's sword momentum, but now the two of them are not practicing their strength, and they are three zhang away from each other, no matter how sharp Chai Shaoning's swordsmanship is, he can't close Shangguan Rou's sword path, often the sword has been forced to change moves halfway, and after practicing for so long, Chai Shaoning has not been able to make all moves.
After a long time, Chai Shaoning gradually felt that his body was unbearable. Because he was unable to go smoothly, he suddenly scurried in his body, rushing left and right, and Chai Shaoning unconsciously only had the tip of the sword flashing on the opposite side in his mind.
Everyone was fascinated by it, but suddenly there was a long roar into the sky, Chai Shaoning soared into the air, and the sword in his hand was no longer a ball of light and shadow, but turned into a fast-swimming flying dragon, the sword body trembled rapidly, and it seemed to be a move between flips, which had surpassed the scope covered by the dragon swordsmanship in the past, and it seemed to be incarnated into a real dragon!
When everyone was shocked, Chai Shaoning's body lightning struck, pulling out a long dragon-like phantom, and at a high speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, he operated the long sword in his hand, accompanied by the roar of the skyrocket, and the thunder hit Shangguan Rou on the ground.
"Third brother, stop!" Sima Long exclaimed, but he was powerless to intercept it, and watched as a huge sword light covered Shangguan's slender body.
"Fourth sister!" Ouyang Qian screamed wildly. Chunlan and the others closed their eyes, unable to bear to see Shangguan Rou die tragically under the shocking sword of her senior brother.
To everyone's surprise, Shangguan Rou's body was like a weak willow in the wind, as if she couldn't resist the gust of wind and floated up, and was blown out of the core of the storm, and at the same time, the sword in her hand pointed obliquely to the sky, and the tip of the sword moved slightly, like a beautiful lotus flower, to support the sword rain that fell from the sky, and then the sword body condensed, steady as the mainstay, piercing through the heavy sword curtain, pointing directly at the opponent's heart, and at the moment when the two swords were about to intersect, he woke up Chai Shaoning in the confusion.
Chai Shaoning came to his senses, flew in the air, and passed by Shangguan Rou's sword dangerously, holding the long sword in his hand on the ground, with an infinite look of surprise on his face.
Looking at Shangguan Rou again, the long sword was still pointing obliquely at the sky, and the whole body was like a mountain, only the corners of his clothes were gently swaying in the wind. The two of them form a subtle and perfect combination between stillness and movement.
"Bang!" sounded, the backyard door was kicked open, and a group of catchers rushed in with knives and guns.
"Who is making a noise here?" In the midst of the shouting, a tall black-clothed catcher pushed away his servants and walked into the courtyard, and without waiting for everyone to react, he began to shout loudly: "You people in the rivers and lakes dance with guns and sticks all day long. Now that thieves are rampant in the realm of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the murderer Xiao Ting has been brought into the Mansion, you should take this as a warning and live honestly, so as not to be arrested as a suspect. After speaking, he snorted coldly and led his subordinates to throw off their sleeves and leave.
Seeing that it was so easy for the official to go, everyone in the courtyard was stunned on the spot, but everyone heard Xiao Ting's arrest clearly, everyone was both suspicious and worried, and they couldn't judge whether what the other party said was true or false?
Sima Long saw that the head catcher looked mighty, similar to Hong Tai, especially with a golden knife on his waist, he had seen it outside Qiaojia Town, it was Hong Tai's saber, it must have been Hong Tai who passed the golden knife to his eldest son during his illness, Hong Biao, who was the chief head catcher in the Daimyo's mansion.
Hong Biao's temperament is as chivalrous as his father Hong Tai, and he is not afraid of falling into the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, and in this way he revealed the news of Xiao Ting's arrest to everyone.
Sima Long immediately told the truth to his grandfather, Sima Changkong, and his predecessors.
Chai Shaoning and Shangguan Rou were still immersed in the inspiration that burst out unintentionally just now, thinking hard, and flawlessly paying attention to the rest of the things, but suddenly hearing Xiao Ting's name, the two of them suddenly woke up.
Yang Liyuan hates Xiao Ting to the core, and now that he has caught the enemy, it is possible that he will not go through the normal trial procedures and directly poison Xiao Ting.
Chai Shaoning was going to save his second brother.
Several elders present, Sima Changkong's internal strength was completely lost, Xiaoyao Ersheng, Zheng Dapeng, and Gao Fenglan had just removed the toxicity in their bodies and had not fully recovered, Geng Qiuwen, Fang Xiaoyun, Sima Long, and Ouyang Qian were all injured, and Song Yuanlan and Shangguan Rou were too low.
Everyone's eyes swept over each other, and they all nodded with a wry smile.
Several elders instructed Chai Shaoning to inquire about Hongtai's mansion after entering the Daimyo's mansion, find Ouyang Yu and Sun Shaoyang, and then the three of them jointly find a way to break into the mansion and rescue Xiao Ting.
Chai Shaoning agreed, asked the shopkeeper to buy a fast horse, rode the twilight across the horse and whipped back, and galloped back in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Xiao Ting lay quietly on the cold ground of death row, his whole body was in hot pain, and all the joints were in excruciating pain, but he didn't say a word, and he had already put life and death aside.
Losing Xue Nianci, Xiao Ting felt that life was meaningless to him, and the last thing he had to do was to bear all the faults and give others a clean slate.
Therefore, when Yang Liyuan asked about what happened at that time, Xiao Ting insisted that he was heartbroken by the death of his family when he was deceived by others, so he would act irrationally, and this matter had nothing to do with the master and his brothers and sisters.
Hearing Xiao Ting's confession and recognition so justified, Yang Liyuan was furious, and the pain of losing his son made him also lose his mind, and ordered someone to beat Xiao Ting frantically. If he hadn't wanted to tear Xiao Ting's heart alive in the night sacrifice three days later to mourn his son, Yang Liyuan would have wanted people to beat Xiao Ting to death at that time. Despite this, Xiao Ting has also been tortured to death by various tortures, and fainted to death in the constant "click" fracture sound on his body.
After two hellish nights and one day, Xiao Ting was finally thrown into death row, dying and waiting for the moment of being disemboweled.
With the sound of chaotic footsteps, the heavy iron door was opened from the outside, and the four servants pounced into the cell like wolves, without speaking, they pulled Xiao Ting from the ground and dragged them out of the cell like a dead body.
At this time, it was already dark outside, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace.
Listening to the hustle and bustle of laughter faintly coming from a distance and being extremely incongruous with the white gauze lanterns hanging under the eaves, Xiao Ting felt strange. Who dares to be so bold? On the occasion of Yang Liyuan's loss of his son, he is not sad but happy! Could it be that there is a big man in this famous mansion that even Yang Liyuan cannot provoke?
While thinking wildly, the shadows of the flowers and trees moved past him one by one, and Xiao Ting was dragged away from the front yard and into a large courtyard with a huge hall.
The courtyard is square, flowers and trees are everywhere outside the courtyard, but there are no trees and flowers planted in the courtyard, all of which are paved with blue bricks, which is as neat and spacious as a martial arts arena, making the hall located in the center of the courtyard even more huge.
Although the night breeze was cold, the door of the hall in the courtyard was not closed, and the brightly lit hall was clear from the dark night.
