[Yi Tian] Ding Minjun

After confirming the current martial arts attainments of Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu, Juejue no longer hesitated, and planned to let them go down the mountain to practice.

Therefore, Juejue called Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu into the room on the second day.

"Get ready, you can go down the mountain in two days." Juejue told the two of them: "You two will go down the mountain this time, and continue to investigate the whereabouts of Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kunxia along the way. If there is any news, you can follow it However, according to my master's estimate, all sects and sects are now pouring out, even without any clues, and the two of you may return in vain this time."

"I will try my best!" Ji Xiaofu and Ding Minjun replied at the same time.

"Some things can't be accomplished with all your best, just like a person's martial arts attainment is affected by his talent." Jue Jue looked at the two of them: "So the master sent you out, and there are two other things for you to do." check."

Juejue raised his eyes to Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu: "The first thing has something to do with Cheng Kun. From the perspective of my teacher, when the murderer started committing crimes, people in the world had already started to investigate his whereabouts. Later, the next three There are more than a dozen cases, but no one has been able to detect them. It is really unclear whether Cheng Kun did it or someone set the blame on it. This matter has always been secretive, so the first thing the master wants you to do Let’s go to various sects and factions to ask clearly about the time of the incident and the clues found at the scene, to see who may be responsible for the crime.”

"Yes, master." Ji Xiaofu and Ding Minjun replied in response.

After Juejue said the above words, his complexion became serious, and he was silent for a while before speaking again: "The second thing is related to the inheritance of our sect for many years, and now the master entrusts this matter to the two of you." This matter is the first task of your descent this time."

Ding Minjun's heart shuddered, and he looked up at Jue Xing.

Juejue paused: "What I want you to do as a teacher is to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber!"

Relying on the sky to slay the dragon is the most precious treasure that everyone in the world fights for.Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu naturally know that the Yitian Sword is in their Emei, but the Dragon Slaying Sword has only been rumored in the Jianghu these few years, and no one knows its exact whereabouts.

"This dragon-slaying knife also has a relationship with our Emei sect, but this matter is extremely important, and no one who is not the head of this sect will never know, so the master can't let you know all kinds of reasons now." Jue Jue looked at it. Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu continued for a while before continuing: "In the future, if anyone of you two can get the dragon sword for our sect, the master will tell her the secret."

The implication of extinction is that whoever brings back the dragon sword will pass on the position of head to her.

"However, even if the two of you go down the mountain this time, even if you find the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber, you don't have to be tough." Jue Jue said indifferently: "There are rumors in the world that 'the treasured sword slays the dragon, and orders the world'. Disputes, the two of you will never have the ability to snatch the sword back, but will lose your own name. Recapturing the dragon sword is the mission of our Emei faction generation after generation. You just need to pass the news back to Emei. This matter, master Naturally, there will be another attempt.”

Juejue showed a slight sarcasm on his face: "The heroes of the world only know the eight words 'sword to slay dragons, order the world', but they forgot 'If you rely on the sky, who will fight for the front'*. No one knows how to use this dragon slaying weapon Knife, everyone thinks that holding a knife can win the world, but it's just a bunch of reckless people! You two, you need to be careful in your actions, and don't do things that are beyond your control."

There are such rumors about the dragon sword in Jianghu, it is not difficult to imagine how the person who gets the dragon sword will become the target of public criticism.Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu also thought of this reason.The meaning of extermination is actually very simple. It is nothing more than asking the two of them to investigate the news and not act rashly.

In fact, with the abilities of the two of them, it is true that they are not sure of getting the Dragon Slaying Saber from among the heroes.

Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu went down the mountain in a few days, one of them went south and the other went north, and they went to inquire about the places where murders occurred frequently in the rivers and lakes in the past six months.Although the whereabouts of the dragon-slaying knife is more important than finding the murderer, the news of the dragon-slaying knife is relatively elusive after all, and it is relatively easy to investigate the murderer.

However, after the two broke up to investigate, they realized that there was a reason for Juejue to ask them to investigate the Dragon Saber.

It turned out that the Dragon Slaying Saber had appeared in the world a few days ago. It was taken by the Haisha Gang at first, and then it fell into the hands of Yu Daiyan and Yu Sanxia of the Wudang School.It's a pity that Yu Sanxia couldn't hold the Dragon Slaying Saber for too long, and soon Yu Daiyan was plotted against, and he was seriously injured and almost disabled.

However, the whereabouts of the Dragon Saber were gone. We only know that the last place where the accident occurred was near the Longmen Escort Bureau in Lin'an.

Ding Minjun went along the road, and went to more than ten places to explore, such as the old man Pu Nanqiu in Yizhi Town, Mr. Qin, the judge of Yin and Yang, and so on.It was found that all the cases had one thing in common, that is, all the victims were killed in one blow, and many of the victims had injuries on their backs, so it can be seen that the attackers should have attacked from behind.

And from the crowd, Ding Minjun learned that several of these victims turned out to be close friends of Cheng Kun, who had no enmity with Cheng Kun at all, and were killed together.

What made Ding Minjun particularly puzzled was that many family members of the deceased mentioned that the victim died of Cheng Kun's martial arts skills. Obviously, this matter must have something to do with Cheng Kun.

Ding Minjun has been on the road for several days, and has searched everywhere within three months. At this time, he came to a mountain forest not far from the Qiantang River.

She looked at the sky and felt that even if she traveled on a starry night, she might not be able to make it to the town, so she rested here for the night, crossed the Qiantang River, and headed north to Lin'an.After all, she had found almost all the clues about the murderer, and now she wanted to try to see if she could find the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Knife.

Ding Minjun used lightness kung fu to climb a towering ancient tree, and planned to rest on this tree tonight.After all, the ground is full of dust and there are insects, rats and ants. My daughter's family is always reluctant to spend the night below.

"But it's been so long, I believe that even if we get to the scene, there will be very few useful clues." Ding Minjun sighed: "As for the Dragon Slaying Knife, its whereabouts are even more unknown. I don't know if we can find any useful clues." According to the news, it seems that this time it will return in vain.”

After all, resting on the tree is not as good as staying in an inn on weekdays. After all, it is very uncomfortable.Ding Minjun moved a little on the tree, but he didn't dare to move too much, or he might fall directly: "I don't know if Junior Sister Ji has any clues..." She always competed with Ji Xiaofu, this kind of Sometimes, it is natural to consider the situation of the other party.

"Presumably, Junior Sister Ji will come to Lin'an after finding out the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Knife. At that time, maybe we will meet again..."

Just when Ding Minjun was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. It seemed that the two were hurrying on the road, and the martial arts of the two walking along the road were not ordinary.

The author has something to say:

*The mark seems to be a line from a TV series...so I don't remember very clearly, it should be Wu Qihua's version.However, although Extinction said so, in fact, it was not unknown in the Jianghu at that time. Hai Dongqing, the one who went to grab the dragon sword at the beginning of the book, knew that there were nine yin and nine yang martial arts secrets hidden in the dragon sword, although it was not completely true. , but it's close.

25 The Whereabouts of the Dragon Saber · Medium

When Ding Minjun heard that someone was coming this way, he immediately held his breath and concentrated on not wanting to reveal his whereabouts.She could hear people walking in a hurry, and she could see that both sides were on their way: "Both of these two are not weak in martial arts, I don't know what kind of emergency they encountered, they actually rushed on the road at night."

While Ding Minjun was still thinking, she suddenly felt that the two people stopped walking, and the voice seemed to be below her.This surprised Ding Minjun, who thought he had been spotted by the other party.In a moment, she had clenched her saber tightly, ready to jump down from the tree to find out.

Thanks to Ding Minjun's hesitation for a moment, and then listening to the man under the tree, he knew that he hadn't discovered her whereabouts.

"Senior brother Gao, the fire is already cold, it seems that the person who started the fire should not be here anymore."

A young male voice came up from below, only then did Ding Minjun know that the other party stopped because he saw the fire she lit in the evening.

Since the other party didn't find her, she was not in a hurry to go down, she just hid in the tree, and didn't want to make more troubles.

Another male voice said: "This place is not far from Lin'an City. Usually, people will spend the night here. I think this fire is probably left by someone who lit the fire for cooking at noon. We can continue to use it."

After Ding Minjun heard the man say this for a while, he felt the light of the fire shining from below.Obviously, the other party was too lazy to collect firewood, so she continued to use the fire pile she left behind.

The male voice that sounded younger spoke again: "Senior Brother Gao, shall we continue on our way?"

The other man was silent for a while and said: "It's not in a hurry. You and I have been traveling together day and night. Counting the time, there should be some days before the Skyhawk Sect's Sword Raising Conference. We should have time to go from here."

Ding Minjun just heard the young male voice below snort: "The Sky Eagle Sect is just a branch of the Demon Sect, and they want to command the Jianghu in a delusional way. It's just a dream, and they don't pay attention to our four major sects."

Hearing the male voice's words, Ding Minjun's eyes widened suddenly, as if some thoughts flashed through her mind very quickly, but she had no time to think carefully.

At this moment, the male voice below spoke again: "Senior Brother Gao, I think we should arrive at Lin'an City earlier. How can I say that resting in an inn is much better than in the wild. Instead of spending the night here, it is better When we arrive in Lin'an City, let's rest for a day before going to Wangpan Mountain."

After a moment of silence, another person agreed with him: "Forget it, then let's go."

Immediately afterwards, Ding Minjun heard some voices from below, which should be the voices of the other two picking up their bags.Not long after, the faint fire was also extinguished by the other party.Then the sound of their leaving footsteps came.

Ding Minjun didn't dare to be careless, he didn't dare to relax a little until he couldn't hear the two of them at all.At this moment, her mind is full of what those two people said just now.

Although the two were vague, a bold and vague speculation gradually formed in her mind.What kind of precious swords can be used by sects to raise their swords?What kind of sect dares to stand up suddenly and order the world at this time when all the heroes are rising together?

If these two things happened at different times, Ding Minjun would not have made such a guess.

But at this moment, she has only one thought in her mind - that knife might be the Dragon Slaying Knife!

Thinking of this, Ding Minjun's heart trembled, and she immediately wanted to chase those two people to ask what happened.Thinking of this, Ding Minjun jumped down from the tree.He chased after the two in the direction they left.

She chased for dozens of steps, and suddenly stopped again: "No, I can't chase like this. The Dragon Slaying Knife is a treasure that is robbed by various sects. If I ask them, they will definitely refuse to tell. If I fight them hard Come on, firstly, I may not be able to find out the truth; secondly, I don’t know the depth of their martial arts, and if I lose with my strength, it will not be beautiful." Ding Minjun thought that if this is really a dragon-slaying sword, it will be sent by various sects. Everyone must be a good player. She is really not very sure about one against two.

But how could Ding Minjun let such a good opportunity go for nothing: "For the present plan, I might as well find the two of them first and follow them secretly." She actually wanted to pass the news back to Emei, but she was afraid that she would lose face if it failed. , and finally decided to find out by himself first.

She heard those two people talking about Wangpan Mountain just now, and guessed that it might be their final destination.

Thinking of this, Ding Min didn't hesitate anymore, and headed towards Lin'an City, intending to find out where Wang Panshan is.She heard those two people talking about Lin'an just now, presumably the way to Wangpan Mountain from here should be through Lin'an.

Ding Minjun started late, and he didn't want to meet those two people in the woods, so he didn't walk fast all the way.After all, it is easier to reveal whereabouts in the silent mountains and forests, but it is much better in towns.

She also knew that it might not be easy to meet those two people in the vast crowd of Lin'an City, but fortunately she heard the place name 'Wangpan Mountain', so she should not return in vain.

When Ding Minjun arrived at Lin'an City, it was dawn and even the city gate was opened, but because it was still early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the road.

With a thought, Ding Minjun walked towards the little brother guarding the city gate.She turned to the little brother and asked, "May I ask if there were two people from the rivers and lakes accompanying us to Lin'an City this morning?"

The young man guarding the city gate saw that a young girl came to ask him, but he was not as rude as usual, but he still ignored his answer and said lazily: "I didn't pay attention."

Ding Minjun frowned slightly, took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it to the young man guarding the city gate: "Brother, please think about it again."

The young man was not particular about it. He picked up the piece of silver and bit it between his teeth. Seeing that it was true, he immediately smiled and said to Ding Minjun: "There are quite a few people from the rivers and lakes who entered the city in the morning. When I opened the city gate today, there were two of them." It seems that a twenty-year-old man entered the city, and then two young young men entered the city, not long before you came here, girl."

Ding Minjun made quick calculations in his mind. According to the pace of his feet, it is obvious that the first two people are more likely.They thought it was because they traveled fast, and the gate of Lin'an City was not opened yet, so they had to wait outside the city.

"I don't know what the clothes of the two who entered the city first are, and which direction are they going?" Ding Minjun asked again.

"The two men were wearing apricot yellow clothes, with long swords stuck in their backs." The young man defending the city first described the height and appearance of the two men, then pointed to a direction, and replied to Ding Minjun: "Just go in that direction." went."

Ding Minjun asked the whereabouts of the other two people, and then walked towards the direction the young guard pointed at first.

"From what they said last night, it seems that they plan to rest in Lin'an City for a day. If so, they must find an inn. If that's the case, I'll try my luck." Ding Minjun walked into the city after thinking of this go.

26 Whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Knife

Ding Minjun is also a newcomer to Lin'an City, and is not familiar with the city. She learned the general appearance of the two men from the youth guarding the city, but she didn't rush to the streets in the city. Instead, she went to the post station at the gate of the city first. .Seeing her coming in, the clerk at the post station graciously came up to her.

Ding Minjun's expression remained unchanged, he was still indifferent, and asked the guy about the inn in the city.

The guy at the post station was quite honest, first he told Ding Minjun about the situation of the inn in the city.However, this little brother obviously received a lot of benefits from the owner of a certain inn in the city. After the introduction, he kept recommending one of the inns to Ding Minjun.Ding Minjun was not annoyed, he just wrote down some useful information, thanked the guy, and left the station.

After leaving the post station, Ding Minjun didn't delay any longer, and searched for each family according to the known location.It's a pity that even after asking several inns, there was no sign of the two of them.

When he came out of the sixth inn, Ding Minjun was already a little anxious: "It won't work like this, and the rest of the two people in Lin'an City was just a whim. It's okay for them to change their minds when they arrive in Lin'an. It's not beautiful to delay in Lin'an City."

She felt a little restless in her heart: "I didn't see the appearance of those two people last night, but only heard their voices. Although according to my judgment, what the young guard said was definitely them, but there is always a contingency in everything. What's more, what the two of them look like may not be the same as what the city guard described. If they were just dressed as ordinary people, I would have asked all the inns in Lin'an City from house to house like this, but I couldn't find anything. .”

Ding Minjun frowned slightly, and made a decisive decision not to go to the next inn: "Those two people don't know that walls have ears, so what they said must be true. Instead of wasting time here looking for the traces of the two of them, I might as well inquire first. Where exactly is this Wangpan Mountain, it’s good to make a calculation.”

Thinking of this, Ding Minjun turned back to the station.

The clerk who described to Ding Minjun at the inn before seeing her return, thought she was dissatisfied, so he immediately came over: "Hey, girl, why are you back again? What you said is wrong?" Because Ding Minjun is equipped with a long sword, and his face was cold and unfriendly when he asked the question just now, this young man dare not neglect.

In fact, Ding Minjun is just used to this expression, and doesn't have any opinion on this guy.Seeing him coming, she asked, "Man, I want to ask you something more."

"Miss, please, if you know, I will tell you all." Seeing that Ding Minjun didn't come to find fault, the guy lost his nervous expression just now.

"Is there a place near Lin'an City called Wangpan Mountain? Where is that mountain? The mountain is so steep, is there any sect stationed nearby?" Ding Minjun thought it was some kind of mountainous place when he heard the name.

Hearing what Ding Minjun said, the guy waiting here couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Seeing his expression, Ding Minjun was naturally a little dissatisfied. The young man was also used to observing words and expressions. Seeing her face change slightly, he knew that he had offended Ding Minjun.He cautiously peeked at Ding Minjun's expression, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't laugh on purpose..."

Ding Minjun wasn't angry at all, but she couldn't bear to see the boy's obedient look, so she asked again: "Where is Wangpanshan?"

Seeing that Ding Minjun was not angry, the young man immediately answered her, without further delay: "Miss, I heard from you that Wangpan Mountain is not actually a mountain, but a desolate island in the East Sea of ​​the Qiantang River. "

At this time Ding Minjun knew that he had made a joke, even though she was usually introverted, she couldn't help but blush slightly.But she also knew that it was all due to her own random judgment after hearing the name, and she didn't blame the boy.At this time, she saw the boy was very cautious, so she felt a little bit sorry, grabbed the copper coins from the purse, and handed it to the boy: "How do I go from Lin'an City to Wangpan Mountain?"

The little guy took the copper coins, and naturally he smiled, and explained to Ding Minjun how to get there, during which time he tried his best to recommend a boatman, obviously he was old with that boatman.

Ding Minjun didn't pay much attention to the boy, and was ready to walk to the pier after hearing what he said.Before she walked out of the inn, she heard the boy's voice. Although they lowered their voices, the voices of ordinary people reached the ears of martial arts practitioners clearly.Ding Minjun only heard one person reprimanding the boy: "How many times have I told you that you should be careful with those Jianghu people. Those Jianghu people have no scruples when they get angry. Didn't you see that the Longmen Bodyguard Agency was wiped out yesterday?" !"

Ding Minjun was startled, strode up to the two people who were talking, and asked loudly: "The Longmen Bodyguard Agency has been wiped out?"

The two boys were taken aback, and they stammered: "Girl, girl, we don't know anything, we don't know anything..."

How could Ding Minjun let it go, but the two boys looked terrified, but they couldn't ask anything.Ding Minjun was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do.

"I don't know if this matter has something to do with the Dragon Slaying Knife... The Dragon Slaying Knife appeared near Lin'an City, and such a big case happened here." Ding Minjun muttered in his heart: "Hey, even if the Longmen Guards The case has something to do with the Dragon Slaying Saber, and now that all the members of the Longmen Bodyguard Agency have been wiped out, I am afraid there will be absolutely no trace of it. On the contrary, it is more likely that Wang Panshan was the one I heard about.”

"I'd better stop wasting time in Lin'an City, and go to Wangpan Mountain as soon as possible." Ding Minjun hurried towards the pier: "It's a good thing that Wangpan Mountain is a small island in the sea. The two of you must pass through this place if you want to go to Wangpan Mountain." , I just need to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, and I should be able to wait for them in all likelihood.”

Not long after, Ding Minjun arrived at the pier.She didn't want to see two men under 30 years old when she arrived at the pier.The two men were dressed in apricot yellow clothes, with long swords stuck in their backs, and they looked exactly as described by the young guards at the gate of the city.

As soon as Ding Minjun saw the two people dressed like this, he knew that they were inseparable. Most likely, these two people were the ones she had been looking for: "The two of them didn't stay in the inn... No wonder I couldn't find them... I guess they are I had a light meal in the city, took a short rest, and headed straight to the pier. It’s so dangerous, if I delay a little longer, I will definitely miss it.”

At this time, the younger of the two young men over there asked the boatman, "Boatman, can you go to Wangpan Mountain with this boat?"

Seeing that they were two swordsmen, the boatman dared not neglect: "Two heroes, my boat is going to Mount Wangpan. It's just that Mount Wangpan is a deserted island. I wonder what the two heroes are doing there?"

"If you want to ask more questions, just send us there! Your money is indispensable."

When Ding Minjun heard that the voice was very similar to the voice she heard in the woods, she felt even more certain.She hesitated for a moment: "If I follow them, sooner or later they will find their whereabouts. Why don't I just cut to the chase and find out their bottom line. Besides, I don't know much about this matter, so it would be easier to follow them."

Thinking of this, Ding Minjun stepped forward, found a boatman not far from the two swordsmen, and raised his voice and asked, "Boatman, can your boat go to Wangpan Mountain?"

Ding Minjun deliberately raised his voice, causing the two swordsmen to look at Ding Minjun.When she was at the inn just now, she heard the boy say that Wangpan Mountain was just a deserted island, and now she said that she would go to it, which would definitely attract their attention.

Sure enough, after a while, she heard someone walking towards her behind her.Seeing that things were going exactly as he thought, Ding Minjun frowned slightly.She just didn't know, and asked the boatman about the situation there.She didn't turn around until someone behind her called her.

"Girl, I'm Jiang Tao from Kunlun, what's your name?" It was the younger of the two who came, and he bowed to Ding Minjun with his hands clasped.

Ding Minjun looked him up and down, and bowed back: "Emei Ding Minjun, I have seen this hero."

"Ding Minjun..." Jiang Tao read her name in a low voice, looked her up again, and asked, "I don't know who you are, Master Jingxuan."

"It's my senior sister." Ding Minjun replied crisply.

At this moment, another swordsman also came over, and Jiang Tao introduced this swordsman to Ding Minjun: "This is my senior brother Gao Ze." Then he introduced Gao Ze to Ding Minjun: "This is Ding Minjun's girl. Under the teacher's door."

Gao Ze was not as tactful as Jiang Tao, and asked Ding Minjun immediately: "Miss Ding is going to Wangpanshan too?"

Ding Minjun nodded: "That's right, I'm going to Wangpan Mountain!"

Gao Zeyu asked tentatively: "I don't know what Miss Ding is doing there? Wangpan Mountain is just a desolate island."

Ding Minjun laughed secretly in his heart, this person is really stupid, who ran to that deserted island for nothing, and asked such a stupid question.However, the expression on Ding Minjun's face didn't change much: "Of course I'm going there because I have nothing to do. There are rumors in the world that there will be a saber-raising ceremony on Wangpan Mountain today. I didn't know much about going down the mountain for the first time. When I heard the news, I went to join in the fun."

Gao Ze and Jiang Tao were both taken aback. It was a coincidence that the two of them learned the news that there was going to be a saber-raising meeting on Wangpan Mountain. Unexpectedly, someone still knew about it.

Gao Ze was reckless by nature, so he yelled loudly at this moment: "Are you also going to participate in the Eagle Sect's knife raising meeting?"

"Sky Eagle Sect? It seems to be a branch of the Demon Sect..." Ding Minjun secretly wrote it down in his heart, but he began to speak: "That's right, I just went to the Eagle Sect's sword-raising meeting that day. They Sky Eagle Sect are just demons." Heretics, how can you have the right to own this treasured sword." Ding Minjun simply teased, and then he cheated on Jiang Tao and Jiang Tao.

That Gao Ze was really fooled, and he said, "That's right, the Sky Eagle Sect is just a Demon Sect, so how can it be qualified to own the Dragon Slaying Saber!"

Ding Minjun's heart shuddered: "It really is the dragon-slaying knife!"
