The heavy rain was still pouring, Zhang Mingyue carried the bloodstained Chu Dao that had been washed away by the rain when he returned to the cave with two clean wild boar legs that had been scraped and washed, but there was a person behind him, a person who didn't speak as if he didn't feel his existence, this person was wearing a soaked white clothes, long hair and a shawl, and his birth was also angular, but a pair of eyes didn't look very big, single eyelids, and a slender figure, it seemed that he had been drenched in the rain in the mountain for a long time, a pair of black boots could raise a few fish in it, and he made an ugly sound when he walked, and the three guards looked at Zhang Mingyue, but seeing that Zhang Mingyue was not salty and said a word, he picked it up on the road.

The eldest lady of the Qi Sect, who had eaten and drunk enough, was already lying down by the fire and fell asleep, still with a high fever, and from time to time she had a few dreams, Zhang Mingyue took out a few soggy herbs from her arms and asked the fisherman woman to boil them for He Qingxiu to drink.

The slender man entered the cave and didn't look at it casually, which made Sima Yun a little surprised, after all, any man, he would not be indifferent when he saw the three women in this cave except Liu Yuyu, only to see that the man just found a corner and leaned against the wall and looked at the pouring rain outside the cave in a daze.

"Brother Tai, maybe you should take off your shoes and bake them, so that it will be more comfortable, or you can take off your coat and bake them, you should know that the spring rain in February and March is the coldest. ”

Sima Yun handed over a pot of wine to the slender man, which was also a must-carry along the way, because the old man was not happy without wine.

"Thanks, I don't drink. ”

The slender man replied lightly, perhaps thinking that this was too perfunctory, and the man who was not good at words added.

"Don't drink, but can I eat some of your food. ”

Sima Yun smiled dumbly.

"Of course you can, brother, please. ”

After the man who was soaked and could raise fish in his shoes was full, the two roasted wild boar trotters in Zhang Mingyue's hand were almost baked.

"Do you want more?"

He tore off a large piece of flesh.

"No, thank you. ”

The slender man said lightly, he didn't seem to be able to smile, not even the least pursed his lips, at this time the princess and Yang Youqian had woken up, looking at this uninvited guest who came at some point, the princess did not show unkindness, maybe she felt hungry, she asked Zhang Mingyue for a barbecue, and looked at the slender man.

"Maybe you should tell us where you're from and where you're going. ”

The slender man who couldn't smile finally had a glimmer of brilliance in his empty eyes, and he said softly.

"I've come from far away to kill someone where I'm going to be tomorrow. ”

From a long distance, this answer is not very satisfactory to the princess, but when she hears the second half of the sentence, she is more interested than the first half of the sentence, and it is self-evident where the place you will arrive tomorrow is, and where is there people in this place except for the Sword Forest in these 100,000 mountains?

"Are you going to the Sword Forest to kill people? Do you know where the Sword Forest is? I'm looking at you, how can you go to the Sword Forest to kill people if you are so embarrassed that you don't even have a sword on your body?"

"Since I'm going, I know where the sword forest is, as for me without a sword, the sword is hidden in the box, and the sword is opened and the fairy kneels. ”

Poof.

Zhang Mingyue, who has never looked down on people casually, was almost choked by a mouthful of wild boar, he remembered that when he met this slender man, he was chased by a wild boar and had no way to go, so he could only climb to the tree and wait for someone to save him, originally wanted to see a person in this 100,000 mountains is not necessarily much greater than the chance of seeing a fairy in the world, but I don't know if it is the favor of God or the head of good luck, it happened to be met by Zhang Mingyue, the knife came out, the wild boar died, and by the way, he brought back two wild boar legs.

The joke, which didn't seem to be very funny, was told by the slender man to sit upright, as if it were not a joke, but a statement of fact.

Zhang Mingyue swallowed the barbecue in two bites, he said.

"Can you show us your sword box, in fact, our old man also had a sword box not long ago, and the sword contained in the sword box is not extraordinary, but my old man's sword box is behind him, but I have been observing you for so long, and I don't necessarily have a sword box on your body, could it be that your sword is an embroidery needle?"

"My sword is not an embroidery needle. ”

The slender man shook his head calmly.

"It's a little bit bigger than an embroidery needle. ”

Zhang Mingyue wanted to laugh, but when he saw Sima Yun's face changing drastically while watching the situation, he couldn't laugh anymore, he had been with the old fox for so long, how could he not know the meaning of Sima Yun's every move, even if he had worshiped the sword mountain at the beginning of the Xuanyuan grand plan two thousand jia, and Jiuhua Mountain had never been so serious about the masters of the Tantric Sect in the Western Regions, and now he was treating this ordinary man with a sudden change of face, if it wasn't for the great variables, Sima Yun would definitely not be so serious, only to see Sima Yun said in a deep voice.

"How long is the sword?"

"The sword is an inch long. ”

"Where's the sword?"

"The sword is in the chest. ”

"When will this sword come out?"

"Out of the box when you kill. ”

There was no more conversation, and the cave was eerily silent, except for the sound of the fire.

Zhang Mingyue wanted to ask why she really didn't dare to break this atmosphere, just because for some reason she always felt that once she broke this atmosphere, she would cause great trouble, even the princess was surprised and couldn't say to herself, if it weren't for the sweet old man sleeping in this cave, I am afraid that he would no longer be able to withstand this breath that seems to be nothing.

Tossed until the middle of the night, in fact, when Zhang Mingyue came back from picking herbs, it was not very far from Tianming, and after a delay here for half a day, the sky finally became clearer, so at most an hour or two, the white clothes on the slender man's body were almost dried, but his shoes were still wet, and the man who stopped talking after a few words with Sima Yun Shendao didn't care whether the shoes on his feet were comfortable, he stood up and said softly.

"Today I owe you a kindness, and I will repay it when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

The slender man who had only appeared two hours ago and was about to leave in a hurry left quietly as if he had not appeared, the heavy rain finally stopped overnight, there were crisp birdsong in the mountains, and the sky was bright, but Zhang Mingyue always felt that it was still a thousand pitch black outside.

"What did you say last night? I don't understand a word. ”

He was asking Sima Yun.

"We're talking about the sword of the rivers and lakes. ”

Sima Yun stood up and patted his buttocks, and walked alone to the exit of the cave.

"This person is not a thing in the pool, and in less than five years he will be famous all over the world. ”

"Where do you start?"

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help frowning, if it was really such a powerful person, how could he be frightened by a wild boar and hide in a tree and refuse to come down, this time Sima Yun didn't speak, and it was surprising that Li Muzhi, a scholar who didn't speak more than three sentences along the way, spoke.

"He told you that his sword is in the box, this sword is an inch long, and it only comes out of the box when he kills, if I expect it to be correct, this person should be the legendary swordsman who wants to meet a swordsman who is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Together with Princess Zhaoyang and the three guards, Zhang Mingyue was shocked on the spot.

There has never been a shortage of legends in this world, all kinds of rumored characters, such as the Taoist patriarch Qi Daoyun hundreds of years ago, the Taoist Taoist and the way of the sword, and just like the Yuqingguan real person Lu Chunyang, holding a three-foot Qingfeng walking in the world, the world is uneven, killing the world's uneven people, and the South China Sea is known as the world's first Wang Changsheng, dozens of years can not pick the star building, perennial sitting in the attic to watch the world wind and waves, the latest generation of rivers and lakes is now counting the Qingguan Taoist Zhu Feiyu is the most legendary, riding a donkey and carrying a sword to go to the world, three swords to cut the Kunlun evil dragon, where the purple gas comes from the east to swallow mountains and rivers, but almost all of the above are almost the handwriting of the saints of the three religions, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed, The legend that is really close to the rivers and lakes no matter the rise and fall of the sun and the sunset of the rivers and lakes, will always be the most legendary of the qi raisers, a rosewood sword box in the box, the sword in the box is one inch long, and when it comes out, it will drink human blood, feed this sword with essence blood, and the flying sword is thousands of miles away to take the enemy's head as if it were a bag, but he never thought that such the most legendary swordsman was actually met by himself, Zhang Mingyue really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he looked at Li Muzhi, the nerd of Gujing Wubo.

"How do you know this? You're not a scholar?"

"Scholars also read many kinds of books, not just saints, as you might think. ”

Li Muzhi didn't look over, he seemed unwilling to speak, in fact, Zhang Mingyue would not ask him again.

The old man had woken up and yawned profusely, and the only one arm left was to support his waist.

"I didn't expect that even the swordsman was met in the rivers and lakes this time, I'm afraid the sword forest will be lively, Zhang boy, you are really a lucky person who even the old man is a little envious, so that the swordsman owes you a favor, which may not be able to be bought for thousands of dollars. ”

Zhang Mingyue wanted to say that she didn't think this was any kind of good luck.

"He said he was going to the Sword Forest to kill someone, who was he going to kill?" Zhang Mingyue was puzzled, after two days, although I didn't know what the sword forest was, but after the princess and the old man, I probably knew a lot of things about the sword forest, the contemporary sword forest master is the most legendary figure in the rivers and lakes of Western Chu, this person is only sixty-five years old, the name is a thousand trees, this name should not sound like the name of an old man in the age of a sixtieth year, but the rivers and lakes are all frightened when they hear the word Hua Qianshu, and the rumors about this person are enough to write a book, but in the final analysis, the real famous character in the sword forest is only the sect master Hua Qianshu, which is not to say that the other disciples of the sword forest have no outstanding descendants, just because the sword forest has always faded out of the rivers and lakes, The younger disciples are rarely out of the mountain, and they have learned the sword and sword mountain all their lives, and there are few people who go down the mountain, even if they go down the mountain, they will not tell the world that I am walking in the world of the sword forest, so the only person who really shows the sword forest in the rivers and lakes is Hua Qianshu alone.

"Could it be that this person is going to kill Hua Qianshu, who has entered the realm of the Great Grandmaster in the Sword Forest of the Contemporary Sword Forest?

Zhang Mingyue shook her head self-deprecatingly.

The eldest lady of the Qi Sect, who had drunk the herbs, finally woke up with a fever, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to grope for herself.

"No need to touch it. ”

Zhang Mingyue glanced at him lightly.

"All the hidden weapons on your body have been thrown out by me last night, and now you either go back to your Qingyang Mountain alone, or go with us without fear of death, but now that you have no crossbow arrows and no hidden weapons, if you want to kill me, I am afraid you can only bite with your teeth." ”

The eldest lady of the Qi Sect, who had recovered her daughter's body, was resentful, but she was outnumbered, so she could only choose to swallow her anger.

"Zhang Mingyue, you wait, Miss Ben can always find a chance to kill you, don't regret you saving me when the time comes. ”

"Don't worry, I won't regret it, because with your ability, even if I wash my neck and kill you, I may not be able to kill me. ”

Zhang Mingyue had no intention of arguing with this arrogant lady, and the ten people stepped out of the cave and walked towards the last part of the road to the sword forest, it just rained last night, there was a lot of dew in the mountains, and there were even shredded beast corpses in several places, it is not difficult to see what happened here last night, He Qingxiu followed, three guards led the way, the old man walked second, the princess including He Qingxiu and the four women walked in the middle, and Zhang Mingyue Sima Yun nerd Li Muzhi walked last.

"You should go with the princess and make sure we can protect you in times of danger. ”

Zhang Mingyue kindly reminded, but unfortunately the scholar didn't seem to care, he said lightly.

"Even if I'm in danger, I don't need you to save me. ”

"Why? Do you think you can tell your enemy to death with one mouth?"

Zhang Mingyue made a joke that was not a joke, and the nerd Li Muzhi finally had a second expression on his face, which was an idiot-like expression, Zhang Mingyue ended up deprecating herself and was bored, so she simply closed her mouth and didn't speak.

Last night, I should have been able to travel for another hour, but the sky was not beautiful, so I could only rest early, and today's journey was an hour longer, and the closer to the unique Sword Mountain among the 100,000 mountains, the more I felt the sword spirit.

Jianshan Mountain is as famous as the same name, there is a sword on the lonely peak since the foot of the mountain every step up the mountain, some of which have long been rusted, and there are also many swords that seem to have been inserted into the mountain for a short time, each sword has a name, densely packed with tens of thousands of handles, which are left by the swordsmen who climbed the Sword Mountain in the past dynasties.

Ten miles away, you can already see the black clouds rolling above the Qianzhang Sword, even if the rest of the Sword Mountain is clear after the rain, this black cloud is particularly eye-catching among the 100,000 mountains.

It was a black cloud condensed by the resentment of countless swordsmen who died in this sword mountain.

Like a ladder to the top of the stairs of the nine heavens, he dressed in white and walked slowly up the mountain, and finally reached the top of the mountain, and there was a loud shout that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Hua Qianshu, the South China Sea swordsman Li suddenly came to Jianshan to ask for a battle, dare to accept it. ”

Then the same sound like a thunderous explosion came from above the thundercloud, and at the same time, the swords left by tens of thousands of swordsmen of the past generations in Sword Mountain instantly rang loudly.

"Why don't you dare?"
