Jiang Qing

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the martial arts competition between Jing and the eldest princess is coming to an end.After the previous rounds of screening, those who just came to join in the fun were dismissed long ago, and the remaining martial arts are not weak, and today's top ten candidates are even more fiercely contested.

The martial arts of the fighters who have come here are all comparable, and the outcome of the fight between the two sides is only a half-stroke.

A person who loses without paying attention for a while, but is dissatisfied in his heart, if he meets in a restaurant or tea shop, he will inevitably fight with each other after a verbal argument.

Recently, there have been several fights among quacks in Pingdu, and the manpower of the patrol battalion is also somewhat short.

Right now, in the restaurant in the northwest corner of the city, the ground is in a mess, with broken bowls and scattered wine and vegetables all over the floor.

The owner of the restaurant watched the burly man making trouble in the store, so he didn't dare to say anything, and gave Xiaoer a wink, signaling him to get the patrol army.

The waiter squatted down, groped the wall and moved towards the door, but before he could reach the door, a wine bowl flew in from the air and hit the door, unexpectedly half of the bowl was embedded in the wooden door.Xiao Er yelled out in fright, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground, unable to move.

The boss hid half of his body behind the counter, and he really felt sorry for his shop, so he only dared to show half of his head tremblingly, and made a flattering smile: "This hero...in the small shop... There's really no one you're looking for."

The ordinary people who were drinking in the restaurant had already run out, and the remaining few tables were all like the big man, who were used to walking in the rivers and lakes, so this little trouble was always ignored.No one in the store paid any attention to him, and they all ate wine on their own.

The big man was angry: "Jian Shiliu, you obediently come out today to kowtow three times to grandpa, then go kowtow in front of my elder brother to admit your mistake, and give up your snatched spot, grandpa, I can spare your dog's life."

All the Jiang Hu people who were still sitting still changed their faces when they heard the words, and someone at the table close to the big man even secretly pressed his hand on the knife at his waist.

The big man didn't notice the changes around him at all, and started searching in the store.He walked around and saw a man in black sitting by the inner window.

From his angle, he couldn't see the man's face, and he wasn't considered burly from the back.There was a long sword on the man's waist, and the scabbard was smooth and flat without any patterns.

The big man couldn't recognize anyone, but he recognized the sword at a glance.

"It's you, the skinny chicken, who plotted against my eldest brother?" The big man turned over while supporting the empty table, and landed in front of the man in black.

Originally, they had nothing to do with themselves, and the tables of quacks who hung high above were all staring at the big man and the man in black.

"Master, it's the Cyan Frost Sword. Do we want to..."

A sharp-eyed disciple at the table next to the man in black saw the sword on the man's waist.

The person he called Master was a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes and a broad face, but he pressed his disciple's hand that was about to draw the sword.

Just finished talking here, the big man saw that the man in black didn't respond, and felt anxious, he swung the meteor hammer in his hand and swung it horizontally.

"锃-"

Between the lightning and the flint, a broad sword slashed down from the air, then turned and cut across, holding up the iron chain of the meteor hammer.

With just one move, the big man knew that he was not the opponent's opponent. Enduring the numbness in his mouth, he asked aloud: "What kind of bird are you? Why are you meddling in your own business! Don't you know my name, Weihushan?"

Only then did everyone know that the person who came to this tavern to make trouble was someone from Weihushan, so the elder brother he was talking about should be Lin Hu, the head of Weihushan.Lin Hu was born in the green forest, and his kung fu is not very good, but he feels that he is an unborn master. After occupying the Weihu Mountain, he robbed his family and houses, and he has been quite lucrative over the years.

This time I came to Pingdu to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives. Firstly, I wanted to show my prestige in this arena, and secondly, I also wished that I could win and gain the glory of the court.

Among the applicants, his martial arts was only in the upper middle. He won the first few rounds of competition smoothly, but he became more and more difficult later on.

Lin Hu secretly bribed the lottery officials. After knowing the list of the contest in advance, he secretly started, either threatening or luring. Most of the contestants this time were young people with thin skins and little experience in the world. , and some gave in, which led him to today's competition.

Unexpectedly, in today's twenty-to-ten competition, he met Jian Shiliu, who had never been defeated, and was picked off the stage with one move.I couldn't keep up my face, so I sent someone to provoke things.

"I'm not talented, Xuantian Union Xue Xiu."

At this time, the man driving the meteor hammer was the middle-aged man from just now. He pushed forward, forcing the big man to put away the meteor hammer before sheathing his sword.

He took a step forward and grabbed the big man's wrist, as if two brothers were holding hands and talking: "I have also admired the hero Lin Hu of Weihu Mountain for a long time, so I might as well just look at it for my sake today, stop it." How about this sword fight?"

The big man's wrist was numb when he held him, and he couldn't move. He felt ashamed and annoyed for a while, but he couldn't get angry, and his face flushed.

In the Wulin of the Central Plains, anyone who comes out to make a living has heard of the top four sects in the Wulin, the Northland Xuantian League, the Jiangnan Feixianmen, the Xili Chuixue Temple, and the Dongzangtong Sad Valley. .The one holding his meteor hammer was Xue Xiu, the leader of Yanzhou Xuantian Union.

In the arena, the Xuantian Union has been established for a long time, and its reputation is much louder than the other three sects.Xue Xiu, the current leader of the alliance, is generous and heroic, and has many good relationships, so he enjoys a lot in the world.Xuantian Union is also a master of the sword sect, Xuantian swordsmanship is pure and masculine, the swordsmanship is vertical and horizontal, wide open and close, and has a good reputation.

Now, Xue Xiu has given Wei Hushan a great deal of face by opening his mouth. The big man thought about it for a few times. Although he was unwilling, he swallowed this breath and let go: "Since Leader Xue opened his mouth, I will Forgive the boy."

Seeing the big man walk out of the tavern, Xue Xiu saluted the man in black and said bothering him.

The man in black didn't reply, but just looked up at him: "Xue Xiu, Xuantian Union, I remember."

"I'm not asking for favors from the Burial Sword Villa. If I'm not here, your Excellency will be able to take care of this matter. I just want to take this opportunity to meet a friend. Can I move the table?"

The man in black did not accept Xue Xiu's kindness, and took out a long black wooden stick from his arms, and handed it to him: "If you are looking for someone or kill someone, come to me with this card. I will stay at the bed until the end of the martial arts competition. In the third inn in the east of this city."

Seeing that his identity was recognized, Jian Shiliu didn't stay there for a while, went straight upstairs and found a private room and went in.

Seeing that he didn't answer his invitation, Xue Xiu was not annoyed. He called Xiao Er and gave him a few taels of silver: "Send that hero a jug of good wine, and the extra money will be used to repair the shop."

Xiao Er happily took the silver and hurriedly prepared the wine.The shopkeeper asked someone to clean up the mess on the ground, and the rest of the quacks didn't say much when they saw this, they still punched and drank.

"Master, is that really the Cyan Frost Sword?"

When Xue Xiu sat back at the original table, his apprentice Zheng Shu turned his head and asked, "This is the first time I've seen people from Burial Sword Villa. Don't they hide from the world? Why did they come to this place where the rich and powerful gather?"

Although Zheng Shu was inferior to Ling Che before, but with his ability, it is not difficult to enter the top ten, but in these days of competitions, he has never met this "Sword Sixteen". I have never heard of his name, presumably he participated in the competition under a pseudonym.

How did that small cottage find out the identity of this person?You must know that above the rivers and lakes, it is extremely difficult to find out the people and things that Burial Sword Villa wants to hide.

"They seldom walk in front of the world. If it wasn't for the big man at Weihu Mountain who called his name, no one would have recognized him. However, it was a surprise that Lin Hu could find out who was in the Burial Sword Villa."

Xue Xiu naturally thought of this too, knocked on the wine bowl with a chopstick, thought to himself for a while, seemed to think of something, pursed his mouth and remained silent.

Then Zheng Shu is Xue Xiu's proud disciple. He has traveled around with him all these years, and his knowledge and rumors are much better than ordinary quacks.Xue Xiu has a carefree temper, and he never hides anything from this apprentice, but Zheng Shu is still young and has an unstable temper, so he couldn't help but whisper what Xue Xiu swallowed: "Master, there is no such thing as Jianghu." There are temples, this Weihu Mountain will not be..."

Xue Xiu's face changed when he heard the words, and he quickly stopped him: "Misfortunes come from the mouth, and some things rot in the heart is the way to protect oneself wisely."

Zheng Shu was a little unhappy when he was suddenly stopped talking, but he felt a chill when he thought about what he wanted to say.

Although the Burial Sword Villa occupies a place in the rivers and lakes, the trading of information is extremely secretive. The people in the Burial Sword Villa always see their heads and tails. Few people have glimpsed their true appearance, but no one dares to doubt the information in their hands. true and false.If it is necessary to find someone who can compete with Burial Sword Villa, there is only the rumored "Dark Fragrance Pavilion".

Rumor has it that the Anxiang Pavilion is a royal secret pavilion, serving as the emperor's eyes and ears, spying on the world.If the big man really saw through Jian Shiliu's identity because of the Anxiang Pavilion, then is the match between Jing and Princess Chang this time to recruit relatives really as casual as it seems on the surface, or is it that His Majesty is using the charlatan as a guise? , secretly choosing a candidate for the son-in-law?

"Father, when you came out, Mother told you again and again, telling you not to stand out, why did you forget?"

The girl's voice broke the two masters and apprentices who were contemplating, and it was Xue Xiu's only daughter Xue Youshan who was speaking. She was only 16 years old, and it was the first time she came out with her father to gain insights.

"Walking in the world, help anyone who can." Xue Xiu lowered his voice and looked around, "If I don't make a move, no one around here will want to make a move. Then the big man's life will be lost. Alright, even though Weihushan is not very upright in his actions, the crime does not warrant death."

"Even if those people don't take action, I don't think that big man can survive." Zheng Shu took the words.

Xue Xiu's eyes showed admiration: "Did you see it?"

When the big man threw out the meteor hammer, the sword on Jian Shiliu's waist had been slightly unsheathed. If Xue Xiu hadn't stopped him, the cold light would have cut his throat long ago.

"It is rumored that the Qingshuang sword pays attention to the swiftness of the sword. When it is swung, it only sees the cold glow, but the shape of the sword is invisible, and the throat is sealed with blood. Has Master ever seen it?"

"Ah! I have no chance to see it." Xue Xiu is a sword idiot, and when he talked about swords, his eyes lit up a little bit. That's why we reopened the Burial Sword Villa, welcomed the Qingshuang Sword into the village, and made the No. 16 main sword. When I went south, the Qingshuang Sword had already entered the village, and I didn't have the honor to compete with him."

If one traces back to its origin, Burial Sword Villa is not a sect of Jianghu. It was originally the place where the founding emperor Zhao Heyu placed the famous sword in the world. Today, the emperor's sword that Zhao Heyu used when he fought the world is still enshrined in the village.

When the world is stable, the Burial Sword Villa will gradually become in line with Jianghu swordsmen. Every time a famous sword is born in the world, Fang will open a village to welcome the sword. The village will be opened for 20 years to wash away the dust for the new sword.In the 20 years after the opening of the village every time, whether there are disputes in the rivers and lakes, whether there are factions or pawnbrokers, if there is any injustice, personal grievances, and it is difficult to seek justice in the hall, you can go to the Burial Sword Villa to ask for a sword. Break a justice.

The Burial Sword Villa is full of famous swords and reclusive swordsmen, but if you have a wish, you can achieve it after paying the corresponding price.

For a long time, some people have asked the Burial Sword Villa to make a move on the condition of some secrets of the world. Gradually, the Burial Sword Villa has also started some business of buying and selling news.According to the rumors in Jianghu, the Burial Sword Villa is a huge sword burial mound, on which there is a stone tablet engraved: All unjust things in the world will be leveled under the sword.

Therefore, after the identity of the big man named Pojian Shiliu just now, all the people around Jianghu wanted to kill him and sell him to the Burial Sword Villa as a favor.

Seeing that the leader of the Xuantian Union had obtained a promise from the Burial Sword Villa, even though they were jealous, due to Xue Xiu's status, they did not dare to act rashly.

Xue Xiu held this black card like a hot potato. He couldn't think of where to use it for a while, so he kept it in his arms, and repeatedly asked his disciples and daughter not to leak it at will.

"Father, why don't we use this opportunity to ask about Eldest Brother? Don't you and mother really want to know about Elder Brother's whereabouts? Besides, Eldest Brother was once in the Burial Sword Villa, and the owner of the Burial Sword Villa must know his whereabouts." .”

"Even if I know, how can I go to see him?" Xue Xiuchang sighed.

The Xuantian Union has two famous swords, one is the Xuantian Sword in his hand, and the other is the Panlong Sword in the hands of his disciple Xiang Wandi.Xiang Wandi is Xue Xiu's first apprentice, pure in heart, talented and intelligent. At the age of 16, he mastered the Xuantian swordsmanship. He is invincible in the Xuantian League. Xue Xiu asked him to go on a trip. No audio.

Xue Xiu was in retreat at that time, and when he came out, Xiang Wandi had long since disappeared. He inquired many ways, and some said that he had comprehended the sword heart of the Panlong Sword and was invited by the owner of Buried Sword Villa; He went crazy, massacred an entire village, and jumped off a cliff to his death; there are also rumors that he was young and vigorous, and had a verbal dispute with a small sect. Under the fierce fight, the small sect was completely wiped out by him, and he himself was seriously injured and died. .

Xue Xiu has been investigating this matter for many years, but with the strength of the Xuantian Union, he has not been able to find any information, Xiang Wandi probably passed away long ago.But he still persisted in searching, until the Jianjian Villa was opened, he didn't dare to seek the truth, as if as long as he kept searching, Xiang Wandi would still be alive in the world.

Back then he was the one who tried his best to persuade Xiang Wandi to travel around the world, but he failed to fulfill the responsibility of a master. Xue Xiu blamed himself, and the Xuantian League did not talk much about this elder brother, for fear of making him sad.

Fast forward ten years, now that he had the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest disciple he cared about, Xue Xiu hesitated.
