Sword Immortal's set collapse record
Chapter 23 22
Jiang Yubai was very glad that he asked Duanmeng for a map before going out.
To be honest, he had been to the capital, but he had only walked around the bustling market a few times.It would be a real embarrassment for him to find the entrance to the dark Xuanshui Prison in the dark forest in the north of the city.
He sat cross-legged on the branch of an arbor, in front of him was a forest of desolate shrubs, and the surrounding fields were gloomy.The entrance of Xuanshui Prison is carved out of the mountain wall bit by bit, so the cave at the entrance is smoother and darker than the surrounding rocks, and it is as silent as if no one has ever set foot there.
Jiang Yubai looked at the Xuanshui Prison, which was close at hand, and silently took out... a wooden sword from his sleeve.
Since Jiang Yubai practiced swords, he has never used the advantages of weapons, nor does he think that swords are an absolute condition for influencing swordsmen.But, maybe it's because the climate in the north is too cold, after using it for a few days, the wooden sword that was handed over from Chu Ji has cracked slightly.
...Sure enough, children's play games are not suitable for fighting and killing.
I think he was also a master at flying flowers and picking leaves back then.It's a pity that now only [-]% to [-]% of his internal strength has recovered, and he still has a delicate and sick shell, so he has to take it easy.
He nodded secretly, like a dexterous bird jumped off the branch, stepped on the snow, and drifted forward like a snowflake.The bird that was pecking insects on the snow tilted its head curiously, looked at his back for a while, flapped its wings and flew away.
There are no torches in the cave.Jiang Yubai held the wooden sword behind his back, held his breath, and walked slowly in the darkness.
It wasn't until the light coming from behind was completely submerged by the darkness that Jiang Yubai saw a cluster of tiny lights like fireflies from a distance——
About twenty feet away from him, maybe thirty feet away.A man in black with a veil around his face was waiting for him, holding a torch in his hand.
Jiang Yubai coughed, lowered his eyelids, and approached slowly.The knife on the man's waist had no sheath, but it was very sharp.The moment the man turned around holding the torch, the light spot reflected by the light on the knife flickered from one end to the other.
"Go here." The man opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and rough, and he didn't know if it was on purpose, or if he swallowed the medicine that destroyed the vocal tract.
From the beginning to the end, even the voices of this group of people are shameful.This kind of behavior doesn't seem like a complete Jianghu person... Jiang Yubai thought silently, trying to figure out Sheng Kunyu's character, followed quietly, but showed some real panic Come.
The man looked him up and down, sneered at him, echoed in the empty cave, with a strong killing intent.
...Well, it seems that this person still has a grudge against Sheng Kunyu.Recalling that when Sheng Kunyu was assassinated, he lay dying on the bed and killed many of them with tricks, Jiang Yubai seemed to understand something.
They didn't know how long they walked, and all the light in their sight came from the torches in the hands of the men in black.Jiang Yubai listened carefully, and the sound of lingling water came out from between the rock walls, getting louder and louder.
It seems that this mountain is also the confluence of underground water sources.No wonder the alias is called "Xuan Shui Prison".
Passing through a very narrow cave door, the eyes suddenly lit up—there was a small space in front of him, with torches fixed on the surrounding rock walls, and two or three men in black with knives standing aside.Jiang Yubai looked up along the edge of the jagged rock wall, and sure enough, he found a small platform on it, with a narrow passage behind it.
A man in black with a hood came out from the platform, and the jade pendant around his waist drew a faint blue arc.
Jiang Yubai suddenly had a bad feeling.
This terrain is too unfavorable for him.If the opponent stood on that platform and shot arrows down from a high place, Jiang Yubai would have almost nowhere to hide.Moreover, the rock wall is soaked by water, and it is wet and glistening, which is obviously not conducive to climbing with strength.
When all the attendants behind the man in gray showed their figures, Jiang Yubai raised his eyebrows secretly: there is not a single archer.
Is this sure that they can't escape at all?Or is the other party really so kind, and really intends to let the two of them go after taking the sword manual?
Jiang Yubai didn't hesitate for too long, because the man in gray clapped his hands, and Sheng Qiushuang was dragged out of the darkness.There were a few bloodstains on her body, as if she had rolled in a circle in the mud, and her mouth was blocked, but the moment she saw Jiang Yubai, the snowy eyes suddenly lit up——
It doesn't look too bad to be able to keep such eyes, Jiang Yubai thought.
He cooperatively gave Sheng Qiushuang a comforting look, but Sheng Qiushuang struggled even more in an instant.
"Patriarch Sheng, I don't think we need to talk nonsense. The sword manual of the Thirteen Swords of the Rocking Star, in exchange for a daughter who is alive and well. This deal should not be a bad deal." The man in gray said softly.His voice was not as rough as that of the man in black before, but it was also as hoarse as sandpaper.The cold wind blew along the cracks in the cave, making Jiang Yubai unconsciously get a thin layer of goosebumps.
"Let my daughter come back first, and I'll give you the sword manual." Jiang Yubai took out the sword manual from his arms, raised it high, and imitated Sheng Kunyu's voice, "We can't run away anyway."
Reflecting the firelight, the man in the veiled hat seemed to be unable to see the blurred words "Shaking Star Thirteen Swords" on the sword manual.So he took off the veiled cap casually, revealing his dull and withered long gray hair, a pair of lake-like eyes embedded in his thin face, and his forehead was as blue and white as a corpse.
Compared with Xiao Rui's skinny appearance when Jiang Yubai first crossed, this person's description is even more morbid, as if he crawled out of a coffin, full of weirdness.
Jiang Yubai looked at it, but felt that a basin of cold water was being poured over his head, and even his breathing was tinged with coldness.
All the people in the cave were ignored by him, only the half-smile expression on the other person's face, and the dark eyes buried deep in the cave.
"Shang Xuezhi." Jiang Yubai whispered.
"That's right, it's the real sword manual." The man in gray was told his name in one word, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Let Miss Sheng go, and by the way... bring the sword manual Come up."
The man in black beside him was ordered to turn around and walk into the tunnel behind him.The two men in black who were escorting Sheng Qiushuang also simply untied the rope in their hands. Sheng Qiushuang struggled to take the cloth towel out of his mouth, and ran towards Jiang Yubai while cursing: "Are you It's not that the water is in the brain!"
Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, stopped the girl's fist swinging dumbfoundedly, pulled her into his arms, and said in his own voice, "Don't worry, your father is fine."
Sheng Qiushuang trembled, her sharp eyes flickered, and she whispered, "Who are you?"
"Hush." Jiang Yubai answered next to her ear, but kept his eyes fixed on Shang Xuezhi who was high up, "Don't reveal your secrets."
Sheng Qiushuang got the order, and continued to curse and punch and kick vigorously, but the force was so soft that almost none of it fell on Jiang Yubai.
"I haven't seen you for many years. The owner of the Sheng family is really the same as usual." The young man named Shang Xuezhi said with a warm smile, but the thorns hidden in his words were like needles hidden in cotton, which pierced people very much. "I believe that the ancestors of the Sheng family have met. It will also be very gratifying."
The man in black he sent before came down from the cave, and Jiang Yubai put his arm around Sheng Qiushuang, and handed the sword manual to Sheng Qiushuang meekly with the other.
All of a sudden, the surrounding area was filled with saber light, and all the men in black who had been doing nothing before showed their sabers.
"Wait." Jiang Yubai coughed twice, protecting Sheng Qiushuang behind his back, "If you kill me now...you will never learn the Thirteen Swords of Shaking Stars."
Shang Xuezhi's complexion suddenly darkened, and the two slender bluish-gray eyebrows on his drooping eyelids looked particularly shocking.He flipped through the sword manual he had just obtained, and sure enough, the last three pages were hastily torn along the spine of the book——
It is the last three tricks of the Sheng family that are not passed down to the direct line.
"Okay." After a while, he said three words calmly, "Very good."
Just a few words, full of killing intent.
"Don't worry." Jiang Yubai said word by word, "Come down, I don't mind teaching the adults one move at a time. The adults are talented and smart, and will definitely learn it soon." As he spoke, the wooden sword appeared from behind his waist out.
Shang Xuezhi: "...So you came prepared. Well, I will learn from you." Lifting the sword, Shang Xuezhi's face actually glowed with a divine light, but his eyes fell on Jiang When he passed the wooden sword on Bai's back, he naturally showed contempt.
He took a few steps back, jumped up quietly, grabbed a chain hanging down from the cave, and landed in front of the two with two clatters.
"Go to the side." Jiang Yubai gently pushed Sheng Qiushuang, who retreated subconsciously and obediently. After doing this action, he suddenly realized——
He wants to take this wooden sword to compete with others?
Shang Xuezhi brought a sword from his entourage, although it wasn't a magic sword, it was bright and sharp.
Jiang Yubai clung to the wooden sword and moved forward step by step.
"The first sword. The star falls to the plain."
The wooden sword weaves an ethereal net like falling meteors.Shang Xuezhi's face changed when Jiang Yubai drew his sword, and the original sword move changed its trajectory in midair.
"Dang Clang." The sword hit the wood.Sen Han's sword light reflected Shang Xuezhi's own pale face.
"Second sword. Siye Ming."
Jiang Yubai lifted the depressed sword, and the opponent's sword jumped up.The sword light drew an arc in the dark sky, the sword turned around, and Shang Xuezhi almost let go of the sword in his hand.With sad eyes, he shouted loudly: "Master——"
No matter what he wanted to say, Jiang Yubai turned around and lifted his sword from his hand.Fitting a back hook, Shang Xuezhi was forced to take a few steps back.The horizontal sword took a step, and the flying sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the finally missing wooden sword also landed firmly on Shang Xuezhi's neck.
"The third sword. The bright moon is in the sky." Jiang Yubai's voice was calm, but those who knew him could hear the sternness in his words, and the sword intent was even more merciless, pouring out, "The sky is full of bright moon. You Do you know what it means?"
"..." The last trace of blood on Shang Xuezhi's lips faded, he muttered for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky."
"You always remember it well." Jiang Yubai held up his sword, and suddenly felt exhausted, "It's a pity that you never take it to heart."
"Senior brother—" Shang Xuezhi's eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't speak.All he could do was call out to his brother in a mournful voice.
Peeling off that layer of painted skin, there is actually a bit of a childlike bewilderment.
Jiang Yubai only felt the blood rushing in his heart, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.Once again, his internal strength was overdrawn, making his internal organs feel like being roasted on fire, but the hand holding the sword was as cold as ice.
——With a "whoosh", something came from the darkness.
Jiang Yubai was also particularly sensitive to sound in pain.He turned his head, just in time to see the two hidden weapons coming towards him and Shang Xuezhi, with a cold metallic light.
"Get down!" Jiang Yubai yelled subconsciously.Shang Xuezhi's expression changed, and he followed his advice immediately.With a wave of all his strength, Jiang Yubai knocked down all three hidden weapons, and the wooden sword broke completely with a "touch".
"Sudden." Someone immediately fired a hidden weapon, knocking down something on the cliff. With a sound of "click", it seemed that some kind of mechanism was activated, and there were several large gaps in the rock wall. In an instant, cold water poured in from all directions, submerging everyone in a short time——
Jiang Yubai was washed to some place by the water, and felt that there was a vast expanse in front of him, and the sky was spinning.Before he completely fell into a coma, he only had time to curse secretly in his heart:
"This place really deserves to be called Xuanshui Prison."
To be honest, he had been to the capital, but he had only walked around the bustling market a few times.It would be a real embarrassment for him to find the entrance to the dark Xuanshui Prison in the dark forest in the north of the city.
He sat cross-legged on the branch of an arbor, in front of him was a forest of desolate shrubs, and the surrounding fields were gloomy.The entrance of Xuanshui Prison is carved out of the mountain wall bit by bit, so the cave at the entrance is smoother and darker than the surrounding rocks, and it is as silent as if no one has ever set foot there.
