Drunk lying on the setting sun for the king

Feng Xiangyue was startled, and hastily swept back a few feet, the white silk on his forehead was still broken from the "sand", revealing that seductive tattoo.

The man didn't say a word, and as soon as he stretched out his long sword, he used more than fifty swords in an instant, each sword seemed to be drawing a circle, but only halfway through, he immediately changed his movements, stabbing at Feng Xiangyue's vitals from various tricky angles .After more than fifty sword strikes, none of the moves was repeated, and the movements were smooth and fluid, extremely coherent, without the slightest pause.

Faced with this offensive, Feng Xiangyue had no choice but to face it head-on, turning a set of 36 sword techniques into 72 moves, not only blocking every attack of the opponent, but also taking advantage of the gaps to attack repeatedly.The man snorted with a half-smile, and he could change offense and defense freely between the circles. He seemed to have no rules, but his moves were just right, clean and neat, and dissolved Feng Xiangyue's every attack into nothing. His body shape and swordsmanship All are unique and ingenious, rare in the world.

The speed of the two swords was extremely fast, and for a moment, there was only the sound of "jingling" in the courtyard, and the two sword lights turned into two entangled white dragons. As soon as a little spark flashed, it disappeared in a flash, like the night sky. Tens of thousands of stars burst out in the sky.

Hai Jing's eyes were dazzled, and for a few moments he couldn't see the sword moves of the two of them clearly, but what is certain is that Feng Xiangyue has already lost the wind.The palm of his hand holding the sword hilt was dripping with sweat, he wanted to help but couldn't do it, and he lost his confidence in his heart.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing neigh pierced the sky, Feng Xiangyue's eyes shrank, and he stretched out the long sword, but what he was pointing at was nothingness.At this time, the opponent's long sword had already brushed against his blade, slammed against his neck, and pressed back.

The next moment, Feng Xiangyue seemed to be pushed face to face by a hand, he took a few steps back and bumped into a big tree with a "bang".And the long sword was always close to his neck, clinging to his skin, if it got any further, it would kill him.

Feng Xiangyue raised her head, lowered her eyes to look at the peculiar long sword, her chest heaved and heaved with her panting.The man sighed lightly, and with a wave of his arm, the long sword drew a bright fan under the moonlight, pointing to the ground with a "swipe".

"But I haven't seen you for three years. Why is your vigilance so bad?" The man said, his eyes moved, and the extremely long blade suddenly pointed in front of Hai Jing, "Is it because of this man?"

"No, Master." Feng Xiangyue jumped up from the tree in a hurry, and came to the man in a few steps, "I, I just... I haven't practiced lately, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Feng Xiangyue faltering like a child who made a mistake, Hai Jing couldn't help being surprised, so this is Feng Xiangyue's master?

The man sighed again, lifted the cloak, and put the long sword into the sheath with a "choke", "What apologies, who can escape from love? Love to the depths, even if the heart is burnt to the bone, you can't feel it anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned from sadness to coldness in an instant, and he stared straight at Hai Jing, "Are you Hai Jing?"

This feeling of being tested by an elder made Hai Jing break into a cold sweat, and said with a smile: "This junior is exactly, dare to ask the senior's name."

The man didn't answer, but pulled down the wide silk in front of him, and a calm and calm face suddenly appeared.His face was as handsome and upright as if cut by a knife, coupled with the vicissitudes of life revealed between his brows, he was like a jar of old wine, refreshing and long aftertaste.

When Hai Jing saw this face, his eyes widened in surprise, with joy and surprise in his eyes, "You are...'Sword Master' Hua Jiutang! This junior has admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be a matchmaker. Master Yue!"

Hua Jiutang smiled faintly, but there seemed to be a touch of sadness in the smile, "Juvenile Master... How can I deserve such a title..."

"Senior, why should you be modest? You became famous all over the world when you were 16 years old. You are smart, hard-working, and chivalrous. At the age of 25, you defeated dozens of top masters in a row with your superb swordsmanship. Since then, you have been regarded as a 'sword master', portrait biography It is widely circulated in Jianghu. The younger generation has heard about your legend for a long time, and yearns for you very much." Hai Jing looked a little excited, but there was no semblance of falsehood in what he said.

After hearing this, Hua Jiutang just smiled complicatedly, "Those false names are nothing to worry about, you will know when you reach my age."

Hai Jing always thought that Hua Jiutang was an uninhibited and suave person, but he didn't expect that the other party was slightly different from what he imagined, so he could only smile when he heard this.Feng Xiangyue put away the sword and walked over, "Master, you left without saying goodbye three years ago, where did you go?"

"It's all about finding someone I've let down," Hua Jiutang said.

Feng Xiangyue tilted her head, and asked doubtfully, "Then did you find it?"

"I found it, but I haven't been able to get close to him, that's why I came here." Hua Jiutang said, standing up the wide silk again, covering his cheeks again, "I will go to Moon Peak with you to participate in the competition." In the martial arts conference, that person will definitely appear there."

Feng Xiangyue was overjoyed, "So, are you going to represent Nether Valley? I will return the position of Valley Master to you."

"No, in the past three years, you have managed Nether Valley to flourish, and you deserve it." Hua Jiutang shook his head.

"Master, it is thanks to you and Mr. Xun that Nether Valley is today. Compared with you, what I have done is insignificant. It is better for Nether Valley to be led by you." Feng Xiangyue has always admired Hua Jiutang. , still insisted on giving up the position of valley owner.

Knowing Feng Xiangyue's temper, Hua Jiutang frowned, and said flatly, "If you bring this up again, I'll leave immediately."

"...Understood." Feng Xiangyue pouted, stepped aside and said nothing more.

Seeing that Feng Xiangyue is as well-behaved as a child in front of Hua Jiutang, Hai Jing couldn't help but feel amused. He secretly glanced at Feng Xiangyue and motioned him to reserve a room for Hua Jiutang.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xiangyue shook his head at him, Hai Jing was a little puzzled, so he said to Hua Jiutang: "Senior Hua, it's getting late now, how about I book a room for you to rest?"

"That's not necessary, I never sleep in bed." After Hua Jiutang said, he jumped and disappeared on the roof, leaving only a sentence echoing in Haijing's ears, "I will go on the road with you tomorrow morning, now Go rest first."

Hai Jing was stunned, and tugged at Feng Xiangyue, "Your master hasn't slept in bed for so many years?"

"Well, since I knew him, he either spent the night on the roof or rested in the forest. He never slept in the bed for a night." Feng Xiangyue said.

"Why?" Hai Jing felt that Hua Jiutang was more strange than he thought.

"According to what he said, it seems that he wants to punish himself and make atonement for something." Feng Xiangyue sighed silently, "This matter is probably related to the person he is looking for, but I never dared to Ask."

Hai Jing stroked his chin and let out a long "hmm", "From your master's words, that person probably had a love history with him, it's really impressive who can make the world-famous 'Sword Master' so sad curious."

"When have you been so passionate about this kind of thing? Could it be that you are interested in that person?" Feng Xiangyue patted him.

"It's wrong, it's not that you don't know, I've always been interested only in you." Hai Jing immediately grabbed Feng Xiangyue's waist, and teasingly pressed it against his ear.

"Slick-tongued, don't think I don't know what you want to do." Feng Xiangyue pushed him away with his shoulder, even though he said so, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up.He turned around and took a step towards the house, then stopped, and pointed to the corpses on the ground, "...by the way, what should we do with these corpses?"

"Walking in the rivers and lakes is to tie your head to the waist of your trousers. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. It's their bad luck to meet your master this time." Hai Jing said, knelt down and folded his palms against the corpse, "Xiangyue, we Drag them out and bury them?"

Feng Xiangyue nodded, and together with Hai Jing dragged the corpses out of the inn one by one, buried them in the nearby woods, and then went back to the room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Hua Jiutang came to the inn as scheduled, and after meeting the others, the group drove a carriage to Moon Peak.

When the carriage drove to the evening, I saw several clusters of dangerous peaks rising from the flat ground not far away, and the tops of the mountains went straight into the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist.When I got to the foot of the mountain, I saw that the road on the mountain was narrow, the road was high, the cliffs were high, the rocks were many and the mountains were steep, and it was difficult for horses to walk.In a blink of an eye, it was discovered that the closed moon palace had set up a huge posthouse at the foot of the mountain, which specially accommodated the horses and vehicles of various factions.

It was already night at this time, there was no one coming and going outside the door, only a young boy was arranging things in the hall.This inn was set up for the purpose of communicating with people from all over the world, and the people inside were not considered to be formal disciples of the closed moon palace, so men accounted for the majority.

Hai Jing and the others handed over the horses, rested overnight in the post house, and went up the mountain before dawn the next day.The stream in the mountain is deep and steep, with steep cliffs and strange peaks. At the beginning, you can still see the water gurgling among the rocks beside the cliff, and the birds in the forest scurrying. It was unbearable to shiver.

In the afternoon, the closed moon palace finally appeared in the rugged mountain road.The group of people quickened their pace and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the door.The gate of the palace was dark brown, with a simple and heavy copper ring on it, and a majestic white jade lion stood on each side, which made people feel awe-inspiring at a glance.

After entering the door, a female disciple greeted her. Liu Xin stepped forward, grabbed a woman with narrow eyes and flat nose, and said, "Senior Sister! I'm back!"

The eyes of those female disciples lit up immediately, they surrounded them, and said happily: "Xin'er! It's great to have you back! Master and Eldest Sister are worried about you!"

"I can come back thanks to them saving me." Liu Xin pointed to Hai Jing and the others behind her, smiling sweetly, "Senior sisters, take them in quickly, let's go see Master!"

After hearing this, several female disciples led the crowd and walked inward. Although they knew that the person who came was from the Nether Valley, they were still very respectful along the way and never neglected at all.

In this closed moon palace, there are golden bridges and flowing water, pines and cypresses facing the wind, all roads are paved with white stones, and all the walls are built with polished bricks. It doesn't look gorgeous, but it is very elegant.A few female disciples led the crowd around a few corners, and finally came to a lobby, where they prepared cakes and tea, and planned to inform Yue Shuyan.

Hai Jing hurriedly stopped them, "We are guests, how can we let Palace Master Moon come out to meet her? Let's take us to see her."

Several female disciples giggled, "You saved Xin'er, you are the benefactors of our Closed Moon Palace, if you let you go there in person, Master will definitely blame us, so please wait here with peace of mind."

As they spoke, they walked straight out of the door, their laughter was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, which was very pleasant.Hai Jing and the others had to wait inside the house.
