Castle Peak Does Not Change [Comprehensive Martial Arts]
Chapter 120: What a Thief (12)
Tiger Hill, the name of the mountain, formerly known as Haiyong Mountain, is seven miles outside Gusu City.
But as soon as you go out of the city gate, you can see the green and majestic mountain in the distance, just like a tiger squatting there, full of vitality, head and tail calm.
But this is the scene that most people will see when they come to Huqiu Mountain. For the people of Yongcui Villa, they are already in Huqiu Mountain.As one of the three great families of martial arts, Yongcui Villa has its extraordinary background. It surrounds the distant mountains and looks at Taihu Lake in the distance. Sand houses with sails, misty clouds and bamboo trees are the most beautiful places on Huqiu Mountain.
Xiao Shi, Ling Feige, Shuai Yifan and Tieshan Daochang, the four of them were invited to Yongcui Villa by Li Guanyu. Although they haven't seen each other for several years, their friendship has not faded because of the passage of time.What's more, when Li Guanyu cooked tea and tested his sword by the sword pool a few years ago, most of the swordsmen he invited have passed away, and only a few are still alive. This kind of emotion undoubtedly deepened their friendship. So as soon as Li Guanyu sent out the invitation, the four of them came to Yongcui Villa non-stop.
Li Yuhan, the unlucky boy, was sitting in front of his poor old father, and the four unknowing people even praised him with Li Guanyu after seeing him.
Li Guanyu said unhappily: "It's just an evil!"
Others only regarded Li Guanyu as self-deprecating, Xiao Shi laughed and said, "Where did the tiger father have a dog son?"
Li Guanyu glanced at Li Yuhan.
The sadness in Li Yuhan's heart has become a river, and he knows very well that if these old seniors continue to talk, he will have no good fruit to eat. Now, before the "Star Picking Taoist" Shuai Yifan opened his mouth, he said first: "I guarantee that this junior is definitely a dog." !"
Four seniors: "..."
Li Guanyu: "..."
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, but in the end Shuai Yifan changed the subject bluntly, and said to Li Guanyu who gave birth to a dog: "What kind of person is the leader of the Western Demon Sect you are talking about? Haven't I heard of such a sect? "
Considering that the family ugliness should not be publicized, Li Guanyu did not stare at Li Yuhan, but listened to Shuai Yifan and murmured: "To be honest, I have never heard of such a sect, but he came from outside the customs. The sect has not been famous to me yet. And he came this time to imitate what I did back then, cooking tea and testing swords outside the sword pool. As for the depth of his martial arts, although I don't know how old he is, he is only old enough List me among the top masters in the Central Plains."
Li Guanyu's estimate is still conservative. After all, he only saw a cloud of fog, but never saw the face. However, if he can condense his true energy like a hanging thread, he must not be idle.Taking a step back, the other party is the leader of a sect after all, if the martial arts are not superb, how can they convince the crowd?
Leaving aside the fact that the Western Devil Sect does not play cards according to common sense, there is currently only one naked leader. After hearing Li Guanyu's words, Shuai Yifan and others don't know why Li Guanyu said he couldn't see that. The age of the leader of the Western Demon Cult, coupled with the fact that most of the first-class masters in the Central Plains are middle-aged and above, there are exceptions such as Chu Liuxiang, there are very few without flowers, so the four of them all think that this Western Demon The leader of the church is a white-haired and childlike face.
On their way from Yongcui Mountain Villa to Jianchi, several people thought and discussed the purpose of the other party coming from the Western Regions to cook tea and test the sword, and whether there was a hidden conspiracy.
For one thing, people who belong to my race must have a different heart; for two things, listen to the name of the Western Demon Cult. Those who have always been called Demon Cults are not serious sects, and most of them are evil sects. , the kind that was shouted and beaten by everyone, so it is not wrong to treat it with caution.
Under such circumstances, the five of them came to Jianchi together with the unlucky boy Li Yuhan.
They saw dense forests all around, Xiaobi secluded and green, and there was no fog on the poolside, but at this moment there was a cold fog for no reason. The cold fog was gray-white, and they could vaguely see a figure in the gray-white cold fog. Shrouded in the cold fog, the figure looked hazy and vague.
No need for Li Guanyu to tell, the rest of the people know that the man in the fog is the leader of the Western Demon Cult!
After having such a recognition, their faces became more dignified in unison:
The person is not good!
The other people couldn't see Gu Jiaozhu clearly, but it didn't prevent Gu Jiaozhu from taking a panoramic view of their expression changes. He rolled his eyes lightly under his nose, but said in a tone of voice: "Mr. Under the Tiger Hill Sword Pool, do you know if the rumors are true?"
Through the fog, his voice was both real and unreal.
But he mentioned the tomb as soon as they met. Don't you know it's unlucky?Or is he implying something, will someone be buried here later?
Li Guanyu had a better impression of Gu Jiaozhu, and he slowly replied: "It is true, the Helu Tomb is under this sword pool, and when he died, there were thirty famous swords buried there, so this place is called Sword Pond."
"Oh——" Gu Jiaozhu uttered a single syllable with unknown meaning, and then walked down slowly from the bank of Jianchi, walking towards Li Guanyu and others, and following him, it seemed that the coldness in the water of Jianchi The air was brought over, and the fog seemed to be fading, and opposite to that, the figures in the fog became darker.
To be honest, this kind of picture is just a bit ethereal, but who made this group of people preconceived that the Western Demon Cult is not an orthodox sect, and the surrounding environment of Jianchi is really chilling, so that this picture looks like nothing to everyone. It is unpredictable and frightening.
Li Yuhan was about to hide behind his old father.
The more frightening they felt, the more excited Gu Jiaozhu was. He had a little fun manipulating the mist, and let them see his eyes first.
Strictly speaking, Gu Jiaozhu's eyes are not golden, but more amber, but no matter what color they are, they are different from the eyes of people in the Central Plains.
But now the six people headed by Li Guanyu couldn't describe what kind of eyes they were at this moment.
Of course his eyes are on his face, but his face has melted into the fog; his eyes certainly have light, but this kind of light is too weird, and when the light looks through the fog, it seems to have What kind of strange magical power will make the people who see it feel cold from the soles of their feet all the way to Tianling Gai——Li Yuhan shivered, and hurriedly called out: "Father!"
The man in the fog stopped in his tracks, and asked with doubts in his voice, "Can 'father' in the Central Plains still be used to address guests?"
Li Yuhan: "..."
Li Guanyu: "..."
Four seniors: "..."
Of course not!
This is the point!No man wants to wear a green hat, okay?
Looking on the bright side, Gu Jiaozhu stopped because of this father, and the next moment the fog faded away, and disappeared in an instant, Gu Jiaozhu showed his original shape, and moved towards Li Guanyu and the other six people. With a slight smile, he looked handsome and handsome, with a high demeanor.
What about the Hefatongyan that was agreed upon?
What about unpredictable?
What about hiding your head and showing your tail?
This is all different from what you said!
The scene froze for a while, and embarrassment spread.
Of course, whether it's stagnation or embarrassment, it's all on Li Guanyu's side, and has nothing to do with Gu Jiaozhu. He has a calm expression, as if he wasn't the one who was playing tricks to scare people just now.In the end, it was he who broke the almost frozen atmosphere and said, "I am polite."
Being polite is polite, so let’s skip the paragraph just now.
At that time, Li Guanyu was cooking tea and trying swords in Jianchi, that is to say, he did not compete with swords on Jianchi, but in the open space outside Lu Yu Tea Well not far from Jianchi.This Luyu tea well is next to Jianchi. It is a very large stone well with a width of more than ten feet. There is a hexagonal pavilion beside the well. And Luyu tea well is the third spring in the world, so it is said Whether it is Jianchi or Luyu Tea Well, it can be said that it has a long history. It is elegant to cook tea and compete with swords in such a place.
At this time, there are already people making tea in the Liujiao Pavilion.
Although the person who cooks the tea has an ordinary face, his hands are like onion roots, slender and fair, the body of the teapot he is holding is shining with silver sand, and there are many vermilion grains. He is the most elegant person among them, he immediately recognized this kind of teapot, which is commonly known as a teapot, so it is extremely precious.But this time is not the time to worry about what the teapot looks like, let alone the fact that the leader of the Western Demon Cult did such a thing, it is a distraction, and it is still a grand banquet no matter how you look at it.
Anyway, it makes people feel uneasy.
"Please."
However, Master Gu still behaved very politely, as if it was counterproductive for him to do so.
But no matter what, even if it was a Hongmen Banquet, Li Guanyu and the others had no way out, otherwise they would have retreated without a fight?
After entering the Hexagonal Pavilion, everyone took their seats. The unlucky boy Li Yuhan was not qualified, he stood behind his old father, looking at his heart, he was ashamed just now, okay!
And the skilled person in charge of cooking tea is Wuhua after disguise. He cooks tea with no distractions at the moment, because he has already quietly observed the other four people invited by Li Guanyu before.
"Jade Sword" Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi's jade sword is a unique and famous sword in the martial arts; A sword like autumn water; Taoist Tieshan, the first guardian elder of the Wudang School, controls the Yujianmen of the Wudang School.
Wuhua only commented on them briefly, not because he didn't know much about them, but from Wuhua's point of view, they may have been famous in the Jianghu for a long time, but everyone's martial arts can only be said to be top-notch, even if they are It is true that Li Guanyu was once the number one swordsman in the world, but that is already a thing of the past, and now none of them is a match for his mother Shi Guanyin, and His Royal Highness's martial arts are higher than his mother's, so This is also one of the reasons why Wuhua didn't quite understand why Prince Gu wanted to challenge them.
Historically, only the strong challenge the stronger, there is no reason for the reverse, is there?
Wuhua Qiqiao Linglong's heart belongs to Qiqiao Linglong's heart, and he also knows that his current identity is just a waiter, and there is no reason for the waiter to interrupt indiscriminately.
Wuhua cooks tea elegantly, and the series of movements are like flowing water. Unfortunately, not many people here can calm down and appreciate them.
After Li Guanyu introduced his old friends, he looked at the calm Gu Jiaozhu. After pondering, he didn't want to beat around the bush. Jianchi cooks tea and competes with swords, I don't know why?"
"In order to become famous." Gu Jiaozhu said truthfully.
Just these words made Li Guanyu and the others' faces slightly changed. When Li Guanyu was cooking tea and trying swords in Jianchi, he was elected as the number one swordsman in the world by the famous swordsman at that time. Since then, his reputation has become even bigger. Naturally, a swordsman cannot be described as famous.In other words, Gu Jiaozhu said this, implying that he will definitely defeat them, and then become famous in the Central Plains, and he will become famous by trampling the Central Plains swordsmen under his feet. What a big tone!
Gu Jiaozhu blinked, as if he didn't see the change in their expressions, and said to himself: "I'm ashamed to say, since I established the Western Demon Cult a few days ago, I haven't received a single believer, so I have learned from the pain and found the crux of the problem. The reason is that I am not well-known to the Western Demon Sect. It just so happened that I met Mr. Li Shaozhuang, and then I thought of the prestige of Mr. Li. This way, I came to the Central Plains to learn from Mr. Li. It's about making tea and testing swords, sir."
"I think that after this seat becomes famous, there will be people with lofty ideals who will come to join this faction."
Li Yuhan: "..." Did he lure a wolf into the house?No, he's innocent, okay?
Li Guanyu and others: "..." It's different from what I said!
No, this is not playing cards according to common sense at all.
No, no, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to refute. If a person first establishes a sect, he must have a great reputation as the head of the sect. If people in the martial arts want to gain a great reputation, they must compete with the long-established seniors. Then win this method is undoubtedly a shortcut.
Even though he said that, how could it make people feel so speechless?
Wuhua: "...?"
Wu Hua didn't even half believe it. After all, he knew the true identity of Gu Jiaozhu. Although he also knew that the Western Demon Cult was created by him recently, it would be wrong to say that the Western Demon Cult could not recruit people, because there is no one. Hua didn't see Master Gu recruiting people!No, the crux of the problem is not here, but that they did not come to the Central Plains to make a name for the Western Demon Cult.
Wait, become famous in the Central Plains martial arts?
Wu Hua seemed to have caught something, and he lowered his eyelids to hide the complicated thoughts in his eyes.
Anyway, now that we have spoken, let's enter the stage of making tea and testing swords.
Then, the problem came again.
Cooking tea and trying swords is such an elegant thing, it doesn't come up to fight and kill, but to make friends with swords first, and then to fight with real swords and guns, but the key is that Gu Jiaozhu is from the Western Regions People, he knows the sword skills of the Central Plains, and there are many sets, but he doesn't know much about the sword skills of the Central Plains in this world, what if the words are misleading?
Then you have to skip the stage of making friends with the sword and directly enter the stage of actual combat.
"Old gentlemen, you might as well discuss it." Gu Jiaozhu put down his teacup, and said flatly: "Later, we should do our own thing, or use a sword array."
Li Yuhan: "!!"
Li Guanyu's face was also not very good-looking: "Do you mean that the five of us treat one of you?"
Master Gu asked knowingly, "Is Mr. Li angry?"
Is not this nonsensical?Li Guanyu was also the number one swordsman in the world in the past, and Xiao Shi, Shuai Yifan, Tieshan Daochang and Lingfei Pavilion are all famous seniors, first-class masters in the world, one-on-one is nothing, but Gu Jiaozhu is like this To brag about the five of them together is not to underestimate what they are!
"But I think I have made it very clear before," Gu Jiaozhu said purely, he looked at Li Guanyu and added, "Didn't I say to Mr. Li, 'If Mr. Lao sincerely invites famous swordsmen in the world, I want to compete with them in Huqiu Sword Pool', did Mr. Li not make it clear to others?"
Teacher Gu emphasized the word "one game", so they all said it was "one" game, naturally it was five against one, if they came one after another, how could it be called "one" game?
Li Guanyu: "..."
Four seniors: "..."
Wuhua: "..." He remembered the previous cold joke of "giving him a 'fish'".
Li Guanyu was already full of arrogance. Although he had to be paralyzed for seven years because of his infuriating anger, he was still angry because of the rebellion these days. Gu Jiaozhu, whose heart was higher than the sky, was vain. He took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, what about your sword?"
This is a good question.
Except for Wuhua who was not involved, even Li Yuhan was carrying a sword, and Li Guanyu's sword was the famous Fish Intestine Sword. Only Gu Jiaozhu, the "two-sleeve breeze" with one against five, Not even a sword.
When Li Guanyu said this, even Wuhua looked at Gu Jiaozhu.
Master Gu Shi Shiran stood up, stretched out his hands from his sleeves, made a posture of laying the hilt horizontally, and said: "This seat's sword is here."
Li Yuhan was about to roll his eyes, but the next moment his eyes widened, and he saw an invisible sword suddenly appearing in the empty hands of Gu Jiaozhu.No, that is indeed a sword, but it is not a real sword made of black iron or other materials, but an invisible sword condensed by sword energy.
With just this one action, everyone present couldn't hide their astonishment.
We all know that sword energy is very mysterious, it is invisible, but when a famous swordsman inspires his own sword energy, his opponent will feel the compelling sword energy, and an invincible swordsman can train his sword energy to It is superb, can be retracted freely, and can also integrate sword energy into the changes of sword moves, but most famous swordsmen can't do this, let alone like Gu Jiaozhu, who can condense sword energy into an invisible sword. as relaxed and comfortable.
Under everyone's astonishment, Gu Jiaozhu said in a casual and normal tone: "This sword is the suppressing sword of my Western Demon Cult. It is an invisible sword. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it."
Everyone: "..."
They're not stupid, are they?
Gu Jiaozhu, who was serious and nonsense, picked up the invisible sword with one hand, ignoring everyone's unpredictable expressions again: "Please."
The mood of Li Guanyu and the five people has become serious now, and they are even more cautious than before when they speculated about the intentions of the leader of the Western Demon Cult, and they don't mind five-on-one now.
At this time, dusk has come, and the sunset is beautiful.
On the flat ground outside the Hexagonal Pavilion, six people had already stood still.
Li Yuhan barely maintained his composure and stood in the hexagonal pavilion, looking at them with good eyes.After that, I don't know who drew the sword first, and whose sword energy was activated first. In short, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the flat ground was already full of sword energy.
Li Yuhan stood in the six corners of the mountain pavilion, even though he was several feet away, he could really feel the breathtaking sword energy.Not only that, but Li Yuhan's cold sweat dripped down in awe. It was an indescribable feeling. If he had to describe it, Li Yuhan felt as if a mountain was pressing down at this moment.
Li Yuhan struggled to stand firm.
As for Wu Hua, who was sitting next to him cooking tea, his expression became serious, and he had to admit in his heart that even if none of these five people's martial arts was as high as Shi Guanyin's when they picked it up alone, the five of them together were very strong. marvelous.
Standing in the very center, Gu Jiaozhu, the golden light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter, the invisible sword in his hand has been grasped, and the swords in other people's hands are also ready to go.
The next moment, rustling sword wind sounded.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuhan, who had calmed down his breath, looked again, and saw that the sword light seemed to have turned into a light curtain, and the light curtain was getting denser and denser. With the sound of beating, Li Yuhan knew that his father and the other four seniors formed a sword formation temporarily, instead of working independently.
They have been close friends for many years and are very familiar with each other's sword skills, so forming a sword formation is not as good as the Wudang School who specializes in "Bagua Sword Formation" or the Quanzhen School's "Big Dipper Sword Formation" They have such a tacit understanding, but each of them is a famous swordsman who has been famous for a long time, and the power of the sword array formed is naturally higher.
Li Yuhan saw it, and Wuhua naturally saw it too, and he even substituted it in his heart.If he was the leader of Gu, facing such a sword formation, he would naturally want to break the formation and let them change from a formation to a separate camp, so that it would be easier to conquer.
And if you break the formation, you will naturally attack the weakest side in the formation.
Although Wu Hua had never fought against any of the five seniors present, he knew the true situation of Li Guanyu.It is true that Li Guanyu was the number one swordsman in the world in the past, but in the past seven years, his true energy has gone astray, causing him to be unable to speak, and now he has only recovered for a few days, so don't look at his sword Qi is still pressing, but since he has never touched a sword or practiced every move for seven years, his body will not be able to keep up with his sword moves and sword intentions. Undoubtedly, this will be the best side to conquer.
However, the real situation was unexpected. Master Gu was not in a hurry to break the formation. Strictly speaking, he didn't want to break the formation. The power of five people fighting alone is not as powerful as forming a formation. Why did he want to break the formation?
Hmm... there's nothing wrong with that idea.
Wuhua frowned, and simply stopped trying to figure out Gu Jiaozhu's thoughts, and just watched patiently.
But seeing that the light curtain formed by the sword light became more and more perfect as it became denser and denser, no loopholes could be seen.That is to say, the sword array formed by the five of them has become more exquisite from the beginning, not so perfect, and it can even be said to be the peak.
Logically speaking, this situation is not good for Master Gu, but Wuhua's brows gradually relaxed.
After twenty strokes like this, Li Yuhan couldn't help saying: "He's lost!"
It's been a long time since the leader of the Western Demon Cult broke the formation, so it's not like he's doomed or something.
Wuhua glanced at Li Yuhan lightly, and then shed tears of bitterness for Li Guanyu hypocritically. The tiger father still gives birth to dogs sometimes.You Wuhua didn't say much, after all, she watched chess without saying a word.
That's right, it's "chess", not "sword".
If it is said that Gu Jiaozhu was still on par with the sword formation, or even weaker than the sword formation, but now he has figured out the direction of the sword formation, and calculated what the sword formation will look like in the next step, so The situation reversed.It was as if Master Gu was playing chess with the five people who formed the sword formation, and when the five people made a move, he had already guessed where they would go, and blocked their back with a high-level move.
It can be said that when the "chessboard" was formed, the result was already doomed - Gu Jiaozhu's chess pieces occupied the advantageous positions on the chessboard, and as his opponents, they could be said to be retreating steadily.
Afterwards, when it retreated to a certain point, the sword array broke down and became a mess.
Li Yuhan looked disbelieving: "How is this possible?"
At this time, the invisible sword in Gu Jiaozhu's hand was full of light, and he made his last move like a dragon arrow.
Victory and defeat.
Li Guanyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, there are talented people from generation to generation, he is really old.Speaking of which, he no longer claims to be the number one swordsman in the world, he has also heard of Xue Yiren's reputation, before that he thought that Xue Yiren was the number one swordsman of the new generation in terms of swordsmanship, but I don't know whose swordsmanship is better between Xue Yiren and the jade leader in front of him.
Li Guanyu thought about it, maybe Master Yu's swordsmanship is better, but the two of them probably have no chance to compete, right?
It's hard to say.
This is not to say that Gu Jiaozhu no longer intends to challenge Xue Yiren after he defeated the five veterans of the Central Plains martial arts in Jianchi.In fact, after leaving Yongcui Villa, they headed towards Songjiang Mansion, and within two days on this road, the reputation of the Jade Master of the Western Demon Sect has spread from Yongcui Villa, and outsiders only know that this is from Guan The Jade Master from outside defeated Li Guanyu, the number one swordsman in the world in the past, "Jade Sword" Xiao Shi, "Double Swords Invincible Town Guandong" Lingfei Pavilion, "Star Picking Taoist" Shuai Yifan and the Wudang faction at the bank of Huqiu Sword Pool. Road Chief Tieshan.
Once famous all over the world.
I also don't know how the rumors spread. Anyway, others subconsciously think that the jade leader defeated the five of them one after another. I don't know if this counts as maintaining their face?
Yongcui Villa
Li Guanyu yelled at Li Yuhan full of anger: "Our family's swordsmanship is not as good as you have learned, but those crooked ways have learned [-]%! How can I have a son like you?"
Li Yuhan poked his neck and said, "Father, even if I say that he beat all five of you in one competition, no one else would believe it."
"You still have the face to say it!" Li Guanyu picked up a teacup and threw it at Li Yuhan as he spoke—missing.
Li Yuhan was so frightened that he almost turned into a quail. He managed to muster up the courage and said, "Father, what if I said that I also told him about Xue Yiren?"
Li Guanyu put on an old face: "Oh, then you can go to hell."
Li Yuhan: "..."
Li Yuhan did not die in the end, he was just punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, and repented in front of his ancestors.Li Yuhan didn't know if he regretted it or not, but he thought of a way to calm down his old father.You must know that this person is all compared. Of course, he is not compared with the leader of the Western Demon Cult. Li Yuhan is stupid to compare with him. He refers to Xue Bin, the son of Xue Yiren.
It is true that Xue Yiren is the number one swordsman in the world today, but his son Xue Bin has only learned superficially. In terms of swordsmanship, Li Yuhan thinks that he is far superior to Xue Bin.
Alas, I don't know what to be proud of.
But the unlucky boy Li Yuhan was right, Xue Yiren's son Xue Bin is not very good at swordsmanship, but his other child Xue Honghong, even though he learned the long song Feihong sword created by the old lady Gongsun of the old Tang Dynasty, he can't. But still far inferior to his old father's.Let's talk about the owner of Xuejiazhuang, there is another Xue Xiaoren, he is Xue Yiren's younger brother, but few people outside have heard of him, even the few relatives, friends and old friends of Xuejiazhuang seldom talk about Xue Xiaoren.
As for the reason?
The first thing that bears the brunt is that Xue Yiren is too famous. When talking about Xue Jiazhuang, others always think of Xue Yiren, the number one swordsman in the world, but everyone else is shrouded in Xue Yiren's light and ignored by people.Just like under the light of the sun and the moon, any other light will be involuntarily ignored by people, even if this light is placed elsewhere, it will shine extremely brightly.
Another reason is that Xue Xiaoren is mentally abnormal. It is said that he practiced swords like a madman. He usually behaves like a child, so it is difficult for others to talk about him. Over time, Xue Xiaoren has almost become an invisible person in Xuejiazhuang, and is rarely seen. known to the outside world.
The reason why Xue Xiaoren was specifically mentioned was because he was Gu Qing's number one suspect.
About the leader of the Assassins.
It was mentioned earlier that the Assassin organization did not speak a single word in Songjiang Mansion. There may be many reasons for this situation. Zuo Qinghou of Beishanzhuang, the Assassin Organization is afraid of their reputation and dare not cause trouble in the Songjiang Mansion. For example, the Assassin Organization's power has not yet developed to the Songjiang Mansion, etc., but the Assassin Organization also has super masters in other places. Activities, or the power of the Assassin Organization has developed to Yumen Pass, etc., making these possibilities untenable, so after excluding other possibilities, there is only one most likely one:
The leader of the Assassin Organization is in Songjiang Mansion, and he deliberately wants to avoid Songjiang Mansion.
Or deliberately avoid someone.
That's intriguing, isn't it?
All in all, after the performance, Gu Qing set his sights on Xue Xiaoren from Xuejiazhuang.
As soon as he stepped into the territory of Songjiang Mansion, Gu Qing said to Wuhua: "I have something for you to do."
Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then calmed down immediately: "But according to His Highness's order."
And while they were working hard to uncover the true face of the leader of the Assassin Organization, Chu Liuxiang and the others on the other side also found clues to the strange man with a man's body but a woman's face.I have to thank Liu Wumei for this, of course it is not about Liu Wumei's ghost, but that Chu Liuxiang later thought that it was Liu Wumei who sent the letter to Shenshui Palace, and when Liu Wumei appeared in Shi Guanyin's old lair, What she did was the dress of the people of Shenshui Palace.
This all shows that Liu Wumei knows where the Shenshui Palace is.
Here comes the question, how did Liu Wumei know?
You must know that the location of Shenshui Palace is extremely mysterious, except for the people of Shenshui Palace who can know its exact location in this world, the only one is Wuhua who has been to Shenshui Palace before.But now Liu Wumei knows that she must not have learned the address from Wuhua.
Chu Liuxiang thought about it for a while, and thought of the strange man Shi Guanyin mentioned, he must know where the Shenshui Palace is.Therefore, assuming that Liu Wumei knew the address from him, how did Liu Wumei know such a person?
After going around like this, Chu Liuxiang started from Yongcui Villa, and followed clues to find Li Guanyu's old friend "Gentleman Sword" Huang Luzhi, who indeed told Liu Wumei about the entrance of Shenshui Palace.
Only Huang Luzhi was not that strange man, but it was that strange man who told him the secret.
After so many steps, Chu Liuxiang finally found that strange man.
This strange man has a name of "Xiong Niangzi", he lives up to his name, and he was once famous in Jianghu, but it is really notorious, because he used to be a flower picker.
Hu Tiehua privately said to Chu Liuxiang: "That is to say, he picked the flowers of jellyfish Yin Ji back then?"
This was a bit too much, Chu Liuxiang called him: "Little Hu!"
"What's wrong with me? Aren't I too shocked? You also know that Yin Ji, the jellyfish, is so powerful that she was deceived by such a...male man like Mrs. Xiong. Who would believe it!" Hu Tiehua was still a little He was in a daze, but Mrs. Xiong did look very similar to Gong Nanyan. He was in a daze for a while and then said, "Old bug, I will never say that you are so good at attracting bees and butterflies. You really can't compare in this respect." Male lady."
Chu Liuxiang: "..." He's not comparing this, okay?
Hu Tiehua smacked his mouth twice, put aside the strength of Mrs. Xiong, changed the subject, and said: "Didn't Hongxiu say that the Jade Master of the Western Demon Cult defeated Li Guanyu, and there were four other seniors? What are you going to do?" Li Hongxiu is the one among the three girls who knows the most and the fastest in Jianghu, and as soon as the news about Gu Jiaozhu's defeat of the five swordsmen came out, she learned about it and passed it on to them.
"I think he's looking for the leader of the assassin organization," Chu Liuxiang mused, "I just don't think things are that simple. A person as powerful as him must have other mysteries in ordinary things."
When Chu Liuxiang said this, he noticed that Hu Tiehua's expression was not right, so he stopped and asked him: "What's wrong?"
But as soon as you go out of the city gate, you can see the green and majestic mountain in the distance, just like a tiger squatting there, full of vitality, head and tail calm.
But this is the scene that most people will see when they come to Huqiu Mountain. For the people of Yongcui Villa, they are already in Huqiu Mountain.As one of the three great families of martial arts, Yongcui Villa has its extraordinary background. It surrounds the distant mountains and looks at Taihu Lake in the distance. Sand houses with sails, misty clouds and bamboo trees are the most beautiful places on Huqiu Mountain.
Xiao Shi, Ling Feige, Shuai Yifan and Tieshan Daochang, the four of them were invited to Yongcui Villa by Li Guanyu. Although they haven't seen each other for several years, their friendship has not faded because of the passage of time.What's more, when Li Guanyu cooked tea and tested his sword by the sword pool a few years ago, most of the swordsmen he invited have passed away, and only a few are still alive. This kind of emotion undoubtedly deepened their friendship. So as soon as Li Guanyu sent out the invitation, the four of them came to Yongcui Villa non-stop.
Li Yuhan, the unlucky boy, was sitting in front of his poor old father, and the four unknowing people even praised him with Li Guanyu after seeing him.
Li Guanyu said unhappily: "It's just an evil!"
Others only regarded Li Guanyu as self-deprecating, Xiao Shi laughed and said, "Where did the tiger father have a dog son?"
Li Guanyu glanced at Li Yuhan.
The sadness in Li Yuhan's heart has become a river, and he knows very well that if these old seniors continue to talk, he will have no good fruit to eat. Now, before the "Star Picking Taoist" Shuai Yifan opened his mouth, he said first: "I guarantee that this junior is definitely a dog." !"
Four seniors: "..."
Li Guanyu: "..."
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, but in the end Shuai Yifan changed the subject bluntly, and said to Li Guanyu who gave birth to a dog: "What kind of person is the leader of the Western Demon Sect you are talking about? Haven't I heard of such a sect? "
Considering that the family ugliness should not be publicized, Li Guanyu did not stare at Li Yuhan, but listened to Shuai Yifan and murmured: "To be honest, I have never heard of such a sect, but he came from outside the customs. The sect has not been famous to me yet. And he came this time to imitate what I did back then, cooking tea and testing swords outside the sword pool. As for the depth of his martial arts, although I don't know how old he is, he is only old enough List me among the top masters in the Central Plains."
Li Guanyu's estimate is still conservative. After all, he only saw a cloud of fog, but never saw the face. However, if he can condense his true energy like a hanging thread, he must not be idle.Taking a step back, the other party is the leader of a sect after all, if the martial arts are not superb, how can they convince the crowd?
Leaving aside the fact that the Western Devil Sect does not play cards according to common sense, there is currently only one naked leader. After hearing Li Guanyu's words, Shuai Yifan and others don't know why Li Guanyu said he couldn't see that. The age of the leader of the Western Demon Cult, coupled with the fact that most of the first-class masters in the Central Plains are middle-aged and above, there are exceptions such as Chu Liuxiang, there are very few without flowers, so the four of them all think that this Western Demon The leader of the church is a white-haired and childlike face.
On their way from Yongcui Mountain Villa to Jianchi, several people thought and discussed the purpose of the other party coming from the Western Regions to cook tea and test the sword, and whether there was a hidden conspiracy.
For one thing, people who belong to my race must have a different heart; for two things, listen to the name of the Western Demon Cult. Those who have always been called Demon Cults are not serious sects, and most of them are evil sects. , the kind that was shouted and beaten by everyone, so it is not wrong to treat it with caution.
Under such circumstances, the five of them came to Jianchi together with the unlucky boy Li Yuhan.
They saw dense forests all around, Xiaobi secluded and green, and there was no fog on the poolside, but at this moment there was a cold fog for no reason. The cold fog was gray-white, and they could vaguely see a figure in the gray-white cold fog. Shrouded in the cold fog, the figure looked hazy and vague.
No need for Li Guanyu to tell, the rest of the people know that the man in the fog is the leader of the Western Demon Cult!
After having such a recognition, their faces became more dignified in unison:
The person is not good!
The other people couldn't see Gu Jiaozhu clearly, but it didn't prevent Gu Jiaozhu from taking a panoramic view of their expression changes. He rolled his eyes lightly under his nose, but said in a tone of voice: "Mr. Under the Tiger Hill Sword Pool, do you know if the rumors are true?"
Through the fog, his voice was both real and unreal.
But he mentioned the tomb as soon as they met. Don't you know it's unlucky?Or is he implying something, will someone be buried here later?
Li Guanyu had a better impression of Gu Jiaozhu, and he slowly replied: "It is true, the Helu Tomb is under this sword pool, and when he died, there were thirty famous swords buried there, so this place is called Sword Pond."
"Oh——" Gu Jiaozhu uttered a single syllable with unknown meaning, and then walked down slowly from the bank of Jianchi, walking towards Li Guanyu and others, and following him, it seemed that the coldness in the water of Jianchi The air was brought over, and the fog seemed to be fading, and opposite to that, the figures in the fog became darker.
To be honest, this kind of picture is just a bit ethereal, but who made this group of people preconceived that the Western Demon Cult is not an orthodox sect, and the surrounding environment of Jianchi is really chilling, so that this picture looks like nothing to everyone. It is unpredictable and frightening.
Li Yuhan was about to hide behind his old father.
The more frightening they felt, the more excited Gu Jiaozhu was. He had a little fun manipulating the mist, and let them see his eyes first.
Strictly speaking, Gu Jiaozhu's eyes are not golden, but more amber, but no matter what color they are, they are different from the eyes of people in the Central Plains.
But now the six people headed by Li Guanyu couldn't describe what kind of eyes they were at this moment.
Of course his eyes are on his face, but his face has melted into the fog; his eyes certainly have light, but this kind of light is too weird, and when the light looks through the fog, it seems to have What kind of strange magical power will make the people who see it feel cold from the soles of their feet all the way to Tianling Gai——Li Yuhan shivered, and hurriedly called out: "Father!"
The man in the fog stopped in his tracks, and asked with doubts in his voice, "Can 'father' in the Central Plains still be used to address guests?"
Li Yuhan: "..."
Li Guanyu: "..."
Four seniors: "..."
Of course not!
This is the point!No man wants to wear a green hat, okay?
Looking on the bright side, Gu Jiaozhu stopped because of this father, and the next moment the fog faded away, and disappeared in an instant, Gu Jiaozhu showed his original shape, and moved towards Li Guanyu and the other six people. With a slight smile, he looked handsome and handsome, with a high demeanor.
What about the Hefatongyan that was agreed upon?
What about unpredictable?
What about hiding your head and showing your tail?
This is all different from what you said!
The scene froze for a while, and embarrassment spread.
Of course, whether it's stagnation or embarrassment, it's all on Li Guanyu's side, and has nothing to do with Gu Jiaozhu. He has a calm expression, as if he wasn't the one who was playing tricks to scare people just now.In the end, it was he who broke the almost frozen atmosphere and said, "I am polite."
Being polite is polite, so let’s skip the paragraph just now.
At that time, Li Guanyu was cooking tea and trying swords in Jianchi, that is to say, he did not compete with swords on Jianchi, but in the open space outside Lu Yu Tea Well not far from Jianchi.This Luyu tea well is next to Jianchi. It is a very large stone well with a width of more than ten feet. There is a hexagonal pavilion beside the well. And Luyu tea well is the third spring in the world, so it is said Whether it is Jianchi or Luyu Tea Well, it can be said that it has a long history. It is elegant to cook tea and compete with swords in such a place.
At this time, there are already people making tea in the Liujiao Pavilion.
Although the person who cooks the tea has an ordinary face, his hands are like onion roots, slender and fair, the body of the teapot he is holding is shining with silver sand, and there are many vermilion grains. He is the most elegant person among them, he immediately recognized this kind of teapot, which is commonly known as a teapot, so it is extremely precious.But this time is not the time to worry about what the teapot looks like, let alone the fact that the leader of the Western Demon Cult did such a thing, it is a distraction, and it is still a grand banquet no matter how you look at it.
Anyway, it makes people feel uneasy.
"Please."
However, Master Gu still behaved very politely, as if it was counterproductive for him to do so.
But no matter what, even if it was a Hongmen Banquet, Li Guanyu and the others had no way out, otherwise they would have retreated without a fight?
After entering the Hexagonal Pavilion, everyone took their seats. The unlucky boy Li Yuhan was not qualified, he stood behind his old father, looking at his heart, he was ashamed just now, okay!
And the skilled person in charge of cooking tea is Wuhua after disguise. He cooks tea with no distractions at the moment, because he has already quietly observed the other four people invited by Li Guanyu before.
"Jade Sword" Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi's jade sword is a unique and famous sword in the martial arts; A sword like autumn water; Taoist Tieshan, the first guardian elder of the Wudang School, controls the Yujianmen of the Wudang School.
Wuhua only commented on them briefly, not because he didn't know much about them, but from Wuhua's point of view, they may have been famous in the Jianghu for a long time, but everyone's martial arts can only be said to be top-notch, even if they are It is true that Li Guanyu was once the number one swordsman in the world, but that is already a thing of the past, and now none of them is a match for his mother Shi Guanyin, and His Royal Highness's martial arts are higher than his mother's, so This is also one of the reasons why Wuhua didn't quite understand why Prince Gu wanted to challenge them.
Historically, only the strong challenge the stronger, there is no reason for the reverse, is there?
Wuhua Qiqiao Linglong's heart belongs to Qiqiao Linglong's heart, and he also knows that his current identity is just a waiter, and there is no reason for the waiter to interrupt indiscriminately.
Wuhua cooks tea elegantly, and the series of movements are like flowing water. Unfortunately, not many people here can calm down and appreciate them.
After Li Guanyu introduced his old friends, he looked at the calm Gu Jiaozhu. After pondering, he didn't want to beat around the bush. Jianchi cooks tea and competes with swords, I don't know why?"
"In order to become famous." Gu Jiaozhu said truthfully.
Just these words made Li Guanyu and the others' faces slightly changed. When Li Guanyu was cooking tea and trying swords in Jianchi, he was elected as the number one swordsman in the world by the famous swordsman at that time. Since then, his reputation has become even bigger. Naturally, a swordsman cannot be described as famous.In other words, Gu Jiaozhu said this, implying that he will definitely defeat them, and then become famous in the Central Plains, and he will become famous by trampling the Central Plains swordsmen under his feet. What a big tone!
Gu Jiaozhu blinked, as if he didn't see the change in their expressions, and said to himself: "I'm ashamed to say, since I established the Western Demon Cult a few days ago, I haven't received a single believer, so I have learned from the pain and found the crux of the problem. The reason is that I am not well-known to the Western Demon Sect. It just so happened that I met Mr. Li Shaozhuang, and then I thought of the prestige of Mr. Li. This way, I came to the Central Plains to learn from Mr. Li. It's about making tea and testing swords, sir."
"I think that after this seat becomes famous, there will be people with lofty ideals who will come to join this faction."
Li Yuhan: "..." Did he lure a wolf into the house?No, he's innocent, okay?
Li Guanyu and others: "..." It's different from what I said!
No, this is not playing cards according to common sense at all.
No, no, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to refute. If a person first establishes a sect, he must have a great reputation as the head of the sect. If people in the martial arts want to gain a great reputation, they must compete with the long-established seniors. Then win this method is undoubtedly a shortcut.
Even though he said that, how could it make people feel so speechless?
Wuhua: "...?"
Wu Hua didn't even half believe it. After all, he knew the true identity of Gu Jiaozhu. Although he also knew that the Western Demon Cult was created by him recently, it would be wrong to say that the Western Demon Cult could not recruit people, because there is no one. Hua didn't see Master Gu recruiting people!No, the crux of the problem is not here, but that they did not come to the Central Plains to make a name for the Western Demon Cult.
Wait, become famous in the Central Plains martial arts?
Wu Hua seemed to have caught something, and he lowered his eyelids to hide the complicated thoughts in his eyes.
Anyway, now that we have spoken, let's enter the stage of making tea and testing swords.
Then, the problem came again.
Cooking tea and trying swords is such an elegant thing, it doesn't come up to fight and kill, but to make friends with swords first, and then to fight with real swords and guns, but the key is that Gu Jiaozhu is from the Western Regions People, he knows the sword skills of the Central Plains, and there are many sets, but he doesn't know much about the sword skills of the Central Plains in this world, what if the words are misleading?
Then you have to skip the stage of making friends with the sword and directly enter the stage of actual combat.
"Old gentlemen, you might as well discuss it." Gu Jiaozhu put down his teacup, and said flatly: "Later, we should do our own thing, or use a sword array."
Li Yuhan: "!!"
Li Guanyu's face was also not very good-looking: "Do you mean that the five of us treat one of you?"
Master Gu asked knowingly, "Is Mr. Li angry?"
Is not this nonsensical?Li Guanyu was also the number one swordsman in the world in the past, and Xiao Shi, Shuai Yifan, Tieshan Daochang and Lingfei Pavilion are all famous seniors, first-class masters in the world, one-on-one is nothing, but Gu Jiaozhu is like this To brag about the five of them together is not to underestimate what they are!
"But I think I have made it very clear before," Gu Jiaozhu said purely, he looked at Li Guanyu and added, "Didn't I say to Mr. Li, 'If Mr. Lao sincerely invites famous swordsmen in the world, I want to compete with them in Huqiu Sword Pool', did Mr. Li not make it clear to others?"
Teacher Gu emphasized the word "one game", so they all said it was "one" game, naturally it was five against one, if they came one after another, how could it be called "one" game?
Li Guanyu: "..."
Four seniors: "..."
Wuhua: "..." He remembered the previous cold joke of "giving him a 'fish'".
Li Guanyu was already full of arrogance. Although he had to be paralyzed for seven years because of his infuriating anger, he was still angry because of the rebellion these days. Gu Jiaozhu, whose heart was higher than the sky, was vain. He took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, what about your sword?"
This is a good question.
Except for Wuhua who was not involved, even Li Yuhan was carrying a sword, and Li Guanyu's sword was the famous Fish Intestine Sword. Only Gu Jiaozhu, the "two-sleeve breeze" with one against five, Not even a sword.
When Li Guanyu said this, even Wuhua looked at Gu Jiaozhu.
Master Gu Shi Shiran stood up, stretched out his hands from his sleeves, made a posture of laying the hilt horizontally, and said: "This seat's sword is here."
Li Yuhan was about to roll his eyes, but the next moment his eyes widened, and he saw an invisible sword suddenly appearing in the empty hands of Gu Jiaozhu.No, that is indeed a sword, but it is not a real sword made of black iron or other materials, but an invisible sword condensed by sword energy.
With just this one action, everyone present couldn't hide their astonishment.
We all know that sword energy is very mysterious, it is invisible, but when a famous swordsman inspires his own sword energy, his opponent will feel the compelling sword energy, and an invincible swordsman can train his sword energy to It is superb, can be retracted freely, and can also integrate sword energy into the changes of sword moves, but most famous swordsmen can't do this, let alone like Gu Jiaozhu, who can condense sword energy into an invisible sword. as relaxed and comfortable.
Under everyone's astonishment, Gu Jiaozhu said in a casual and normal tone: "This sword is the suppressing sword of my Western Demon Cult. It is an invisible sword. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it."
Everyone: "..."
They're not stupid, are they?
Gu Jiaozhu, who was serious and nonsense, picked up the invisible sword with one hand, ignoring everyone's unpredictable expressions again: "Please."
The mood of Li Guanyu and the five people has become serious now, and they are even more cautious than before when they speculated about the intentions of the leader of the Western Demon Cult, and they don't mind five-on-one now.
At this time, dusk has come, and the sunset is beautiful.
On the flat ground outside the Hexagonal Pavilion, six people had already stood still.
Li Yuhan barely maintained his composure and stood in the hexagonal pavilion, looking at them with good eyes.After that, I don't know who drew the sword first, and whose sword energy was activated first. In short, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the flat ground was already full of sword energy.
Li Yuhan stood in the six corners of the mountain pavilion, even though he was several feet away, he could really feel the breathtaking sword energy.Not only that, but Li Yuhan's cold sweat dripped down in awe. It was an indescribable feeling. If he had to describe it, Li Yuhan felt as if a mountain was pressing down at this moment.
Li Yuhan struggled to stand firm.
As for Wu Hua, who was sitting next to him cooking tea, his expression became serious, and he had to admit in his heart that even if none of these five people's martial arts was as high as Shi Guanyin's when they picked it up alone, the five of them together were very strong. marvelous.
Standing in the very center, Gu Jiaozhu, the golden light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter, the invisible sword in his hand has been grasped, and the swords in other people's hands are also ready to go.
The next moment, rustling sword wind sounded.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuhan, who had calmed down his breath, looked again, and saw that the sword light seemed to have turned into a light curtain, and the light curtain was getting denser and denser. With the sound of beating, Li Yuhan knew that his father and the other four seniors formed a sword formation temporarily, instead of working independently.
They have been close friends for many years and are very familiar with each other's sword skills, so forming a sword formation is not as good as the Wudang School who specializes in "Bagua Sword Formation" or the Quanzhen School's "Big Dipper Sword Formation" They have such a tacit understanding, but each of them is a famous swordsman who has been famous for a long time, and the power of the sword array formed is naturally higher.
Li Yuhan saw it, and Wuhua naturally saw it too, and he even substituted it in his heart.If he was the leader of Gu, facing such a sword formation, he would naturally want to break the formation and let them change from a formation to a separate camp, so that it would be easier to conquer.
And if you break the formation, you will naturally attack the weakest side in the formation.
Although Wu Hua had never fought against any of the five seniors present, he knew the true situation of Li Guanyu.It is true that Li Guanyu was the number one swordsman in the world in the past, but in the past seven years, his true energy has gone astray, causing him to be unable to speak, and now he has only recovered for a few days, so don't look at his sword Qi is still pressing, but since he has never touched a sword or practiced every move for seven years, his body will not be able to keep up with his sword moves and sword intentions. Undoubtedly, this will be the best side to conquer.
However, the real situation was unexpected. Master Gu was not in a hurry to break the formation. Strictly speaking, he didn't want to break the formation. The power of five people fighting alone is not as powerful as forming a formation. Why did he want to break the formation?
Hmm... there's nothing wrong with that idea.
Wuhua frowned, and simply stopped trying to figure out Gu Jiaozhu's thoughts, and just watched patiently.
But seeing that the light curtain formed by the sword light became more and more perfect as it became denser and denser, no loopholes could be seen.That is to say, the sword array formed by the five of them has become more exquisite from the beginning, not so perfect, and it can even be said to be the peak.
Logically speaking, this situation is not good for Master Gu, but Wuhua's brows gradually relaxed.
After twenty strokes like this, Li Yuhan couldn't help saying: "He's lost!"
It's been a long time since the leader of the Western Demon Cult broke the formation, so it's not like he's doomed or something.
Wuhua glanced at Li Yuhan lightly, and then shed tears of bitterness for Li Guanyu hypocritically. The tiger father still gives birth to dogs sometimes.You Wuhua didn't say much, after all, she watched chess without saying a word.
That's right, it's "chess", not "sword".
If it is said that Gu Jiaozhu was still on par with the sword formation, or even weaker than the sword formation, but now he has figured out the direction of the sword formation, and calculated what the sword formation will look like in the next step, so The situation reversed.It was as if Master Gu was playing chess with the five people who formed the sword formation, and when the five people made a move, he had already guessed where they would go, and blocked their back with a high-level move.
It can be said that when the "chessboard" was formed, the result was already doomed - Gu Jiaozhu's chess pieces occupied the advantageous positions on the chessboard, and as his opponents, they could be said to be retreating steadily.
Afterwards, when it retreated to a certain point, the sword array broke down and became a mess.
Li Yuhan looked disbelieving: "How is this possible?"
At this time, the invisible sword in Gu Jiaozhu's hand was full of light, and he made his last move like a dragon arrow.
Victory and defeat.
Li Guanyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, there are talented people from generation to generation, he is really old.Speaking of which, he no longer claims to be the number one swordsman in the world, he has also heard of Xue Yiren's reputation, before that he thought that Xue Yiren was the number one swordsman of the new generation in terms of swordsmanship, but I don't know whose swordsmanship is better between Xue Yiren and the jade leader in front of him.
Li Guanyu thought about it, maybe Master Yu's swordsmanship is better, but the two of them probably have no chance to compete, right?
It's hard to say.
This is not to say that Gu Jiaozhu no longer intends to challenge Xue Yiren after he defeated the five veterans of the Central Plains martial arts in Jianchi.In fact, after leaving Yongcui Villa, they headed towards Songjiang Mansion, and within two days on this road, the reputation of the Jade Master of the Western Demon Sect has spread from Yongcui Villa, and outsiders only know that this is from Guan The Jade Master from outside defeated Li Guanyu, the number one swordsman in the world in the past, "Jade Sword" Xiao Shi, "Double Swords Invincible Town Guandong" Lingfei Pavilion, "Star Picking Taoist" Shuai Yifan and the Wudang faction at the bank of Huqiu Sword Pool. Road Chief Tieshan.
Once famous all over the world.
I also don't know how the rumors spread. Anyway, others subconsciously think that the jade leader defeated the five of them one after another. I don't know if this counts as maintaining their face?
Yongcui Villa
Li Guanyu yelled at Li Yuhan full of anger: "Our family's swordsmanship is not as good as you have learned, but those crooked ways have learned [-]%! How can I have a son like you?"
Li Yuhan poked his neck and said, "Father, even if I say that he beat all five of you in one competition, no one else would believe it."
"You still have the face to say it!" Li Guanyu picked up a teacup and threw it at Li Yuhan as he spoke—missing.
Li Yuhan was so frightened that he almost turned into a quail. He managed to muster up the courage and said, "Father, what if I said that I also told him about Xue Yiren?"
Li Guanyu put on an old face: "Oh, then you can go to hell."
Li Yuhan: "..."
Li Yuhan did not die in the end, he was just punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, and repented in front of his ancestors.Li Yuhan didn't know if he regretted it or not, but he thought of a way to calm down his old father.You must know that this person is all compared. Of course, he is not compared with the leader of the Western Demon Cult. Li Yuhan is stupid to compare with him. He refers to Xue Bin, the son of Xue Yiren.
It is true that Xue Yiren is the number one swordsman in the world today, but his son Xue Bin has only learned superficially. In terms of swordsmanship, Li Yuhan thinks that he is far superior to Xue Bin.
Alas, I don't know what to be proud of.
But the unlucky boy Li Yuhan was right, Xue Yiren's son Xue Bin is not very good at swordsmanship, but his other child Xue Honghong, even though he learned the long song Feihong sword created by the old lady Gongsun of the old Tang Dynasty, he can't. But still far inferior to his old father's.Let's talk about the owner of Xuejiazhuang, there is another Xue Xiaoren, he is Xue Yiren's younger brother, but few people outside have heard of him, even the few relatives, friends and old friends of Xuejiazhuang seldom talk about Xue Xiaoren.
As for the reason?
The first thing that bears the brunt is that Xue Yiren is too famous. When talking about Xue Jiazhuang, others always think of Xue Yiren, the number one swordsman in the world, but everyone else is shrouded in Xue Yiren's light and ignored by people.Just like under the light of the sun and the moon, any other light will be involuntarily ignored by people, even if this light is placed elsewhere, it will shine extremely brightly.
Another reason is that Xue Xiaoren is mentally abnormal. It is said that he practiced swords like a madman. He usually behaves like a child, so it is difficult for others to talk about him. Over time, Xue Xiaoren has almost become an invisible person in Xuejiazhuang, and is rarely seen. known to the outside world.
The reason why Xue Xiaoren was specifically mentioned was because he was Gu Qing's number one suspect.
About the leader of the Assassins.
It was mentioned earlier that the Assassin organization did not speak a single word in Songjiang Mansion. There may be many reasons for this situation. Zuo Qinghou of Beishanzhuang, the Assassin Organization is afraid of their reputation and dare not cause trouble in the Songjiang Mansion. For example, the Assassin Organization's power has not yet developed to the Songjiang Mansion, etc., but the Assassin Organization also has super masters in other places. Activities, or the power of the Assassin Organization has developed to Yumen Pass, etc., making these possibilities untenable, so after excluding other possibilities, there is only one most likely one:
The leader of the Assassin Organization is in Songjiang Mansion, and he deliberately wants to avoid Songjiang Mansion.
Or deliberately avoid someone.
That's intriguing, isn't it?
All in all, after the performance, Gu Qing set his sights on Xue Xiaoren from Xuejiazhuang.
As soon as he stepped into the territory of Songjiang Mansion, Gu Qing said to Wuhua: "I have something for you to do."
Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then calmed down immediately: "But according to His Highness's order."
And while they were working hard to uncover the true face of the leader of the Assassin Organization, Chu Liuxiang and the others on the other side also found clues to the strange man with a man's body but a woman's face.I have to thank Liu Wumei for this, of course it is not about Liu Wumei's ghost, but that Chu Liuxiang later thought that it was Liu Wumei who sent the letter to Shenshui Palace, and when Liu Wumei appeared in Shi Guanyin's old lair, What she did was the dress of the people of Shenshui Palace.
This all shows that Liu Wumei knows where the Shenshui Palace is.
Here comes the question, how did Liu Wumei know?
You must know that the location of Shenshui Palace is extremely mysterious, except for the people of Shenshui Palace who can know its exact location in this world, the only one is Wuhua who has been to Shenshui Palace before.But now Liu Wumei knows that she must not have learned the address from Wuhua.
Chu Liuxiang thought about it for a while, and thought of the strange man Shi Guanyin mentioned, he must know where the Shenshui Palace is.Therefore, assuming that Liu Wumei knew the address from him, how did Liu Wumei know such a person?
After going around like this, Chu Liuxiang started from Yongcui Villa, and followed clues to find Li Guanyu's old friend "Gentleman Sword" Huang Luzhi, who indeed told Liu Wumei about the entrance of Shenshui Palace.
Only Huang Luzhi was not that strange man, but it was that strange man who told him the secret.
After so many steps, Chu Liuxiang finally found that strange man.
This strange man has a name of "Xiong Niangzi", he lives up to his name, and he was once famous in Jianghu, but it is really notorious, because he used to be a flower picker.
Hu Tiehua privately said to Chu Liuxiang: "That is to say, he picked the flowers of jellyfish Yin Ji back then?"
This was a bit too much, Chu Liuxiang called him: "Little Hu!"
"What's wrong with me? Aren't I too shocked? You also know that Yin Ji, the jellyfish, is so powerful that she was deceived by such a...male man like Mrs. Xiong. Who would believe it!" Hu Tiehua was still a little He was in a daze, but Mrs. Xiong did look very similar to Gong Nanyan. He was in a daze for a while and then said, "Old bug, I will never say that you are so good at attracting bees and butterflies. You really can't compare in this respect." Male lady."
Chu Liuxiang: "..." He's not comparing this, okay?
Hu Tiehua smacked his mouth twice, put aside the strength of Mrs. Xiong, changed the subject, and said: "Didn't Hongxiu say that the Jade Master of the Western Demon Cult defeated Li Guanyu, and there were four other seniors? What are you going to do?" Li Hongxiu is the one among the three girls who knows the most and the fastest in Jianghu, and as soon as the news about Gu Jiaozhu's defeat of the five swordsmen came out, she learned about it and passed it on to them.
"I think he's looking for the leader of the assassin organization," Chu Liuxiang mused, "I just don't think things are that simple. A person as powerful as him must have other mysteries in ordinary things."
When Chu Liuxiang said this, he noticed that Hu Tiehua's expression was not right, so he stopped and asked him: "What's wrong?"
