old grace

Xie Qinghe and his master rode flying kites and traveled along the river in the sky. The air was cold and windy, but they didn't feel the heat.

The two have excellent eyesight, and occasionally they slide close to the water surface, and they can see naked peasants and idlers from a distance, and women and children are too hot to take off their jackets and put on undershirts.There was still light snow in the mountains last night, but today it is as hot as summer, and the climate has completely changed.

Xie Qinghe took advantage of the opportunity to hang on the flying kite, held up the Shiyan Demon Flower in his hand, and said, "This flower seems to be blooming again."

This means that the evil energy in the world is getting stronger.

Shangguan Shiyi's flying kite swooped down towards the broad river in front of him, the flying wings brushed past the water, went back and forth three times, and turned back to the sky again.At this time, the speed of his gliding on the flying kite was nearly twice as fast as before.

"Phoenix nodded." Xie Qinghe was quite surprised, and then rushed to the water, perfectly repeating Shangguan Shiyi's movements.

Compared with Shangguan Shiyi's calm and sophisticated figure, Xie Qinghe's repeated movements are light and unrestrained, making him look more relaxed and casual.With a whistling sound, Xie Qinghe had already chased after Shangguan Shiyi.Late come first, his speed is indeed a little faster than Shangguan Shiyi.

Being overtaken by the eldest disciple who was two steps behind, Shangguan Shiyi smiled and praised: "What a handsome skill."

Xie Qinghe could only flatter: "It's not as good as Master."

In the past ten years, Shangguan Shiyi has been recuperating in seclusion, and has long ignored Xie Qinghe's practice, and really does not know the progress of Xie Qinghe's practice.

Manipulating a flying kite is an extremely complicated skill. Practicing the internal strength of the Hanjiang Sword School is only the most basic entry qualification. It does not mean that one can ride a flying kite to the sky after learning the internal strength of the Hanjiang Sword School.Many Hanjiang disciples were able to ride flying kites to seal demons along the river, but they only knew some superficial skills.

Flying kite secret methods such as "Phoenix Nodding" have always been stored in the deepest part of Zhibao Cave, and shelved.

——For many years, no one has the spare energy to learn, and not many people can learn it well.

Shangguan Shiyi and Xie Qinghe are two generations of prodigies of the Hanjiang Sword Sect. They have learned the secret technique of flying kites in Zhibao Cave, and they show it off one after another. Surprised that Master is so old and strong.One must know that it is very labor-intensive to control the flying kite to fly long distances. After all, Shangguan Shiyi is almost two hundred years old, and he can still use the secret method of phoenix nodding? !

"If you have spare energy, let's make another trip." Shangguan Shiyi said.

His gaze also fell on the Shiyan Demon Flower, which was blooming more and more beautifully. Both of them underestimated the speed at which the demon energy invaded the world.

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Yes."

Shangguan Shiyi picked up the sword formula and transformed into a golden light in the void, the bright sun above the clouds seemed to be inspired and sent down a rainbow.

"Go!" Shangguan Shiyi urged.

Xie Qinghe placed the Shiyan Demon Flower firmly on top of the flying kite, squeezed the formula with both hands, and the clouds broke through the sky in an instant.

The scorching sun above the nine heavens was shining brightly, all blessings on the rainbow bridge in front of the two of them, and the originally illusory rainbow became more and more solidified, as if it were real.Xie Qinghe said: "Master is one step ahead. The disciple will arrive later."

The apprentice was much better than himself, and Shangguan Shiyi felt relieved: "Okay."

The master and the apprentice rode a flying kite and floated westward along the Rainbow Bridge. In the blink of an eye, they were hundreds of miles away.

Flying kites need to borrow water vapor for gliding. Ordinary Hanjiang disciples usually can only fly at low altitude along the waters. Once the waters dry up, Flying kites will lose their ability to ride and fly back to Hanshan automatically.Both Xie Qinghe and Master Shangguan Shiyi can fly high into the sky, clouds are the air of water, and flying kites can break free from the restrictions of the waters and fly freely—the only more dangerous thing is that once the internal strength of high-altitude flying is exhausted, they may fall to pieces.

Xie Qinghe and Master set off in the morning and flew thousands of miles away from Hanshan by the afternoon.

After this flight, Xie Qinghe still had energy left, but seeing Master's hair twisted by the strong wind, he didn't even reach out to tidy it up. He reasonably guessed that Master was a little tired, so he raised his hand in surrender in a sensible way: "Master, it's already done!" It's afternoon. The sun is shining now, let's find a place to rest, have a meal, and go on the road later?"

Shangguan Shiyi reprimanded: "You have spoiled your temper! Do you still have to change into your clothes to smell the fragrance?"

Xie Qinghe was happy.Well, you still have the strength to scold me, which shows that Master has plenty of energy.

The two masters and apprentices continued to fly in the direction indicated by Shiyan Mohua. After arriving in Shanyin County, they diverted to the north, flew two hundred miles and then headed northwest. plain.Xie Qinghe only moves up and down the Hanjiang River on weekdays, it is rare to fly so far, and it is quite interesting to see the unique scenery, looking around all the way.

"Flying Yuan?" Xie Qinghe reminded, with some doubts.

Shangguan Shiyi also saw the flying kite flying along the water below, and explained: "I also sent a few out in the past."

"Is that an old friend of Master?" No matter how good Xie Qinghe's eyesight is, it is impossible to condescendingly see who the person below is.

Shangguan Shiyi was obviously used to being domineering, and from a long distance away, a gun soul flew out, and passed far away in front of Fei Yuan who was gliding below.It seems that they are politely separated by twenty feet, but how can a normal person stand such a fright?

The flying kite pressed down on the shore immediately, and the person riding the flying kite was looking up in the direction where the gun soul flew.

"Go down and have a look." Shangguan Shiyi turned his direction and swooped down towards the water bank.

Xie Qinghe had no choice but to accompany him.When pressing Feiyuan, he hid the Shiyan Demon Flower behind Feiyuan by the way.

The driver of the flying kite was not Shangguan Shiyi's "old friend", but a middle-aged man in his early thirties, dressed in brocade clothes with blood stains on his front, looking like he was fleeing.When he saw Shangguan Shiyi flying down from the clouds, with a long spear in his body, he was dressed chicly, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion that he didn't know, and then he saw Xie Qinghe descending from the sky, his eyes lit up immediately: "Brother!"

Xie Qinghe was also surprised: "Junior Brother Yuan."

Seeing that Yuan Yanshan didn't know Shangguan Shiyi, Xie Qinghe introduced: "This is the teacher..."

"Disciple has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai!" Before Xie Qinghe finished speaking, Yuan Yanshan bowed his knees and kowtowed three times firmly, "Disciple Yuan Yanshan, under the Yunhuang sect, is a disciple of Taoist Suqing. See you Shangguan is in charge."

"No need to be too polite, please get up quickly." Shangguan Shiyi was very kind, "How is your master these days? I haven't seen you for a long time."

In Yunhuangmen, there is an old man from Shangguan Shiyi who is actually Sanke Taoist, who has passed away for many years.Taoist Suqing is a disciple of Taoist Sanke, and it is not uncommon for Shangguan Shiyi not to know the younger Yuan Yanshan.Yuan Yanshan was able to ride a flying kite, so he naturally also learned the basic cultivation methods of the Hanjiang Sword School, and the relationship is relatively close, so he called Xie Qinghe "big brother".

"The disciple's trip was originally to seek help from Hanshan."

"The Demon Sect has reappeared in the Jianghu. It has slaughtered the Ziqi Sect, the Golden Light Sect, and the Pangu Villa. My Yunhuang and the Pangu Villa have been in-laws for generations. The head master sent all his disciples to the Pangu Villa to rescue..." At this point, Yuan Yan Tears streamed down the mountain, "The demon sect is so powerful that it can't resist it. Only the disciples in the sect can ride the flying kite, so the real master sent his disciples to Hanshan for help."

He fell on the ground and kowtowed several times, crying: "Please be merciful, senior Shangguan!"

Shangguan Shiyi didn't ask Yuan Yanshan how the battle was going, but instead asked Xie Qinghe: "Where are the flowers?"

Xie Qinghe held out the Shiyan Demon Flower, and also understood Shangguan Shiyi's hesitation: "The cloud is in the south, and the devil is in the north."

These are two very different directions.If you go to Yunhuang for rescue, you have to ignore the magic energy for the time being.If he went to block the demonic energy, Yunhuang would probably die all over his family.Xie Qinghe said: "Aren't you in a hurry?" The flowers have been blooming for several days, and you haven't seen Master rushing out to eliminate demons?

"Could it be that people in the Demon Cult can still connect with the demon energy and play the trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?" Xie Qinghe was a little unconvinced.

The devilish energy they were looking for was completely different from the devil's sect who attacked and slaughtered Yunhuang.

Demon energy is the resentment generated by people and monks, and the people in the Demon Cult are warriors or monks who specialize in cultivating demons.These years, Xie Qinghe had dealt with the disciples of the Devil's Cult, and anyway, the disciples of the Devil's Cult couldn't beat him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.However, he had never seen the mysterious and mysterious devilish energy before.

Shangguan Shiyi shook his head and said: "The devil energy is at its peak, so the devil cultivators are naturally rampant. I, Qinghe, don't take it lightly."

He stood where he was, looking north at the demonic energy and south at the cloud.The Shiyan Demon Flower that Xie Qinghe held in his hand was silently blooming, extremely delicate and beautiful, Yuan Yanshan, who was covered in blood all over his body, was tearing, and there was still a tragic blood stain on his forehead.

"If you waver, you will have demons." Shangguan Shiyi said.

"The master goes south, and the disciple goes north. With the master's cultivation level, why are you afraid of a few clowns? The disciple first determines the location of the magic energy, and if you can block it, you will kill it. If you can't block it, then ask the master to take action." Xie Qinghe's thinking has always been the same. It is very clear, never let the master go alone to seal the demon.

Shangguan Shiyi said angrily: "You go ahead, where can I find you?"

Xie Qinghe smiled and said: "Master, if he catches a demon alive, he will naturally know where to find me." Both Shiyan Mohua and Moxiu can accurately find the place where the devil's energy is at its peak.

Shangguan Shiyi hesitated a little, Yuan Yanshan kowtowed again: "Please be merciful, senior!"

"Qinghe my apprentice." Shangguan Shiyi took off the bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Xie Qinghe, "Be careful."

"Master, please take care too." Xie Qinghe called out the Rainbow Bridge again, and sent his teacher Feiyuan to the sky with a light slap.

Shangguan Shiyi's flying kite flew into the sky and flew towards the south of Yunhuang.

Only then did Yuan Yanshan get up in a hurry: "Brother, I won't..."

"Slide back slowly. Don't worry, the master has already passed. Don't even think about chasing him, you won't be able to catch up." Xie Qinghe said.

What he said made Yuan Yanshan choke so hard that he couldn't speak, so he bent down to salute, and said, "See you in Hanshan someday."

Seeing Yuan Yanshan slipping out along the water, Xie Qinghe shook his head.Driving a flying kite depends on talent, and the original Yanshan is obviously not very good at skating.Wanting to cross dense forests and mountains, and travel thousands of miles to Hanshan for help, is simply desperate.

He picked up Shiyan Mohua and was about to go up Feiyuan and leave when he suddenly heard a woman's scream in the distance.

This place is just a tidal flat.

Where the water flows freely, there are monsters watching secretly.

Xie Qinghe left the flying kite, held the Shiyan Mohua in one hand, held the sword in the other, and searched for the direction where there was a strange noise.

There are countless monsters, large and small, in this world, among them are strange things that can imitate the crying of women and babies, and are often tricked by unsuspecting and kind people.Walking on the water all the way, drifting half a mile away, I never saw a trace of the monster.On the contrary, I saw a few men in black chasing and killing a few women in broad daylight, and the bodies of several female guards had already fallen on the road.

Seeing that a female guard was about to die under the sword of a man in black, Xie Qinghe flicked his fingertips, and the wind came in a flash: "Stop."

With a loud sound, the man in black's knife flew out of his hand.

The female guard fled back to the mistress's side, looking at Xie Qinghe vigilantly.

Xie Qinghe strolled over the tidal flats on the shallow water, with a sword in one hand and a flower pot in the other. This attire stunned everyone.It's not surprising that a martial artist holds a sword. What's the matter with you carrying a flower when you go out?Pretentious?
