"what?!"

The old man Xuegu's words surprised the two of them even more than knowing about the Zhanfeng Sword. The old man Xuegu turned out to be the master of the Juggernaut!Let alone Xiao Fengling with such an identity, even Han Tiexin was taken aback.Xiao Fengling had heard that for Yujianmen, once a disciple defeated the master, his master would take the initiative to give up the position of the first sword in the martial arts and then retreat into the world.No wonder people in Jianghu know very little about the old man Xuegu, counting his age, most of the people who debuted at about the same time as him are no longer alive.

"Master is...the master of Sword Saint Liang Xiao?" Han Tiexin couldn't accept this reality for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Then Brother Sword Saint...I mean...how come he never returns to Snow Valley... "

The old man Xuegu sighed heavily, and said: "When I found you, your senior brother was already dead, and you will never see him again in this lifetime."

Han Tiexin's family members passed away early, and it is all thanks to the care of the old man Xuegu that he can live until now. He has already regarded the old man Xuegu as his family and his father in his heart.Now when mentioning senior brother, even though he has never met, he is regarded as an elder brother in his heart. Hearing the sadness in Xuegu old man's words, Han Tiexin felt sad as if he had lost a relative.

Han Tiexin asked puzzledly: "Brother Juggernaut's swordsmanship is the best in the world, who can kill him?"

The old man Xuegu replied: "One person and two people can't do it naturally, but a group of people and two groups of people might do it. No matter how good Liang Xiao's martial arts are, he is still a body of flesh and blood. Unbearable."

Han Tiexin was startled: "Master's meaning... Could it be..."

The old man Xuegu sat down on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea, as if he wanted to calm himself down. Halfway through drinking a cup of tea, seeing Han Tiexin still kneeling respectfully, he waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

Only then did Han Tiexin dare to stand up and put his body between the old man Xuegu and Xiao Fengling.The old man Xuegu saw his intentions, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, if I really want to harm that kid, can he still stand here with his arms and legs like this?"

Han Tiexin was taken into consideration by the old man Xuegu, his face was slightly red, and he moved his body, but always kept the distance from Xiao Fengling within the range that he could protect.

The old man Xuegu asked Han Tiexin, "Tie Xin, do you still remember asking me when I was a child who our martial arts originated from?"

Han Tiexin nodded: "I remember, but Master never answered me."

The old man Xuegu continued: "Let me tell you now, our sect is called Yujianmen. The ancestors have training, Yujianmen's martial arts, there is no secret manual, all are taught by mouth, each person only accepts one apprentice in his life, and learns his martial arts. Teach them all, until the apprentice defeats the master."

The fine lines at the corners of the old man Xuegu's eyes extended infinitely backwards, as if they were going to go back to that exhilarating contest: "That happened more than ten years ago. At that time, you still didn't understand anything Milk baby. At that time, Liang Xiao defeated me and inherited the martial arts of Yujianmen. Later, he competed several times with many people in the martial arts, and was named a sword master. Once Bai Zhuxing, the lord of Baiyue City, Liang Xiao wrote the challenge letter, hoping to make friends with martial arts, Liang Xiao readily accepted. After more than a hundred rounds of fighting between the two, Bai Zhuxing lost to Liang Xiao by one stroke, and the two became friends because of this battle. Liang Xiao saw that he had such attainments in swordsmanship at such a young age, and even praised him that he would defeat him one day. Unexpectedly..."

The old man Xuegu sighed: "I didn't expect that his sincere praise, after being distorted in the world, turned into Bai Zhuxing's Zhanfeng Sword which could defeat the Sword Master. disaster."

Han Tiexin said coldly: "It's not the brother's fault, it's those people who spread rumors in the Jianghu that harmed City Lord Bai!"

The old man Xuegu frowned, and the "Chuan"-shaped lines between his brows became more profound: "That day Liang Xiao came to me and said that he was going to help a friend. After I left the customs, I heard the news that Bai Zhuxing practiced kung fu and went crazy overnight and killed all the living souls of Baiyue City and Liang Xiao disappeared for no reason. I felt that something was a little strange, so I rushed to Baiyue City overnight, as if the perpetrators had already A fire burned Baiyue City to ruins. I searched hard among the piles of corpses that had been burned beyond recognition, and finally found Liang Xiao's corpse, and he was wearing this scabbard at that time."

Xiao Fengling, who was silent at the side, had more and more bad thoughts in his heart, and he suddenly asked: "Since the corpse is beyond recognition, how does senior know that that person is Senior Sword Master?"

The old man Xuegu replied: "Liang Xiao holds the sword in his left hand, and his left hand was born deformed, with one finger longer than ordinary people. Even if it is burnt, I can still recognize it. And this scabbard..."

The old man Xuegu stroked the scabbard in his hand: "The scabbard and blade of Zhanfeng Sword are made of the same material. It is said that it is a rare black iron, which is extremely hard. I think you have seen this Tie Xin before."

Han Tiexin nodded.

The old man Xuegu looked at Xiao Fengling again, his eyes were much colder than when he looked at Han Tiexin, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Xiao asked me just now, and I'm going to ask you now. Where did you come from with this Fengzhan Sword?" Got it?"

Xiao Fengling bit her lip and didn't know how to answer for a while. The old man Xuegu could question himself aggressively, so he must have found out clearly. Although he didn't want to believe it, everyone who practiced martial arts did not desire peerless martial arts. If he said that his master It is not impossible to participate in the operation to seize the Zhanfeng Sword back then.

In the end Xiao Fengling gritted her teeth and said bravely: "The sword was passed down to me by my predecessor."

The old man Xuegu asked again: "Then where did the teacher inherit from?"

Xiao Fengling stopped talking completely. He never mentioned the master's lineage, and he was vague when he asked him several times when he was a child.Xiao Fengling was a well-behaved child, and stopped asking after asking a few times. Now it seems that the master deliberately concealed the origin of martial arts from himself, and the so-called "name" of the master should not be his real name now.

The old man Xuegu snorted coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, I will tell you for you. Your master's real name is Du Xun, and he is a member of the Xingyun sect. As for the martial arts of the Xingyun sect, it is just a drop in the ocean in this Jianghu. He can master it with one hand. Founding the Qingping Sect and producing an apprentice like you must have been taught by an expert, or... studied some kind of secret book!"

The old man Xuegu deliberately emphasized his tone when he said the last few words, those words passed into Xiao Fengling's ears, they were extremely piercing, and even the newly relieved lower abdomen throbbed.

Things gradually became clear. Liang Xiao went to Baiyue City to rescue Bai Zhuxing after knowing the news that the various sects were besieging Baiyue City, but he didn't want to be outnumbered and put himself in danger.Bai gradually realized that he was doomed, so he handed over the martial arts secrets and the chopping wind sword to Liang Xiao for safekeeping, while Xiao Fengling's master, Du Xun Mantis Catching the Cicada and the Oriole, was behind, taking advantage of Liang Xiao's serious injury and exhaustion, and gave him a fatal blow. With one blow, the Zhanfeng Sword and the secret book were taken away.

Han Tiexin thought in his heart: "Master and senior brother are deeply in love with each other. After his death, master must want to avenge senior brother. So the purpose of his coming to find Feng Ling today is..."

Han Tiexin didn't dare to think about it, and watched the old man Xuegu's movements closely to prevent him from suddenly attacking him, and persuaded him: "Master, with the martial arts of brother Sword Saint, it is rare to see low hands in the Central Plains martial arts, and Master Feng Ling's kung fu at that time is going to kill you!" He's probably unlikely."

"It's impossible for one person alone." The old man Xuegu said, "It's a different matter if you are fighting one by one."

Han Tiexin hurriedly said: "So it's not so much that Brother Sword Saint was killed by Feng Ling's master, it's better to say that he was killed by those martial arts people from various sects who besieged Baiyue City, so... this hatred..."

"Of course I know who I should seek to avenge this revenge." The old man Xuegu interrupted him, "In the past few years, there have been inexplicable sudden deaths of disciples in all major martial arts sects in the Central Plains. How do you think they all died?"
