Reborn Enemy

The wall of the dead wood garden is made up of half-person-high wooden piles, and the gate is an arched old tree trunk without any carvings. It looks rough, but it also reveals a bit of natural simplicity.

There was a man in black standing at the door. He was tall and ordinary-looking. He should have changed his appearance.He seemed to be in a trance, and didn't realize it until everyone approached, and saluted Yao Feng: "Mist Sword Master."

Qi Wan'er first asked: "Is the one inside Li Moqing?"

The man in black said: "Sword Master Huiyun, yes."

"It really is him!" Qi Wan'er was in high spirits again, ""Thirteen Swords of Lanting" is world-famous, so it must be about wine and swords in it, come on, let's go in and have a look!"

The man in black stopped him: "The pavilion master has an order, don't disturb me."

Qi Wan'er snorted, released the realm suppression directly, waved him away, and walked in first.

The man in black knew he couldn't stop him, so he didn't say anything else.Yao Feng patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and followed with Qi Yanfeng.When Gu Pinglin passed by, the man in black turned to the side.

There are no stones on the ground in the garden, it is all golden yellow sand, and there are not even half a green leaf in the distance, only hundreds of dead old trees. The bare brown trunks are as thick as a yellow barrel, or as thin as a child's arm, or standing upright, or crooked. Or lying on the ground, or arched like a bridge, or half buried under the yellow sand, there are various postures, and some seem to have been petrified.

The wind blows, and the yellow sand rolls.

Half a mile forward, the sound of qin and flute came from ahead, and there was a faint figure swaying in the gap between the tree trunks, and everyone followed the sound.

In the open space, a wide and low couch was placed at the main seat. Duan Qingming sat on the couch, with a wide wooden table in front of him. There were wine pots, melons and fruits on the table. In the pot, a woman holds the dust whisk, blowing off flying insects and falling sand from time to time.On the lower left is a wide stool and a small table, Li Moqing sat there peacefully, with a blue shirt and a silver crown, and a gentle face, a maid stood behind him holding a pot.

Ten feet away, a woman in white was sitting and playing the piano, and another woman in white was sitting on a dead tree next to her, playing the flute, her voice was faint and elegant.

Duan Qingming sighed: "Master Li really doesn't want to let me open my eyes?"

Li Moqing wondered: "I really don't dare to show off, I hope the pavilion master will forgive me."

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "Forget it, there is an unexpected guest coming, and the elegance is gone."

Qi Wan'er strode out after hearing the words: "Master Li, I have long admired you."

In the early years, because of his health, Li Moqing lived in seclusion and rarely saw visitors, and Qi Wan'er and Yao Feng put on masks when they entered the garden, so he didn't recognize him: "Your Excellency is..."

"Isn't this my Sword Master Yun?" Duan Qingming introduced with a smile, "It must be because of Master Li that he rushed in so quickly."

Qi Wan'er bowed to him perfunctorily, and then bowed her hands solemnly to Li Moqing: "I have heard the reputation of "Lanting Thirteen Swords" for a long time, and I heard that Master Li is coming, so I am here to ask for advice."

Li Moqing shook his head, and declined politely: "There are so many swordsmanship in the world, and Yinlan swordsmanship is really not surprising."

"Vendor Li is self-effacing," Qi Wan'er refused to let him go, "It's harmless to learn from each other."

Li Moqing's attitude is firm: "Li is only here to discuss business, I hope you will understand."

"Hey, you can't force others to make things difficult for you," Duan Qingming stopped Qi Wan'er from continuing, then turned to ask, "Who is guarding the gate outside?"

The woman holding the whisk replied, "It's Wujian San."

Qi Wan'er immediately said: "I'm the one who wants to break in, it's none of other people's business."

Duan Qingming ignored his words and ordered: "Call in."

The woman in white agreed, but did not leave.After a while, the man in black at the gate of the garden walked in, bowed his head and saluted: "I have seen the pavilion master."

Li Moqing's expression changed, and he looked at him suspiciously.

"Know what's wrong?"

"My subordinate understands."

"Very well, go and receive the punishment yourself."

"Wait!" Qi Wan'er called him, glaring at Duan Qingming angrily, "I said, I insisted on breaking in, his cultivation level is not enough, he can't stop me at all."

Duan Qingming's expression did not change: "There are no rules, nothing is perfect. Stopping others is the task I gave him. If he fails, he will be punished, or did he expect you to intercede, so he dared to commit the crime knowingly?"

Wu Jiansan immediately knelt down: "This subordinate dare not."

Qi Wan'er wanted to say more, but Yao Feng grabbed his arm and shook his head.

Qi Wan'er looked at him sideways.

Yao Feng let go of his hand and lowered his eyes.

Qi Wan'er was speechless for a moment.

Duan Qingming said three times to Wujian: "Go down."

Wu Jiansan lowered his head: "Yes."

Seeing that he was punished because of herself, Qi Wan'er was still feeling sorry for her. Just as she was about to say more, Li Moqing who was sitting next to her suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked over, only to see Li Moqing standing up from his seat, and cupping his hands towards Duan Qingming: "If I let the pavilion master see the Thirteen Swords of Lanting, can I forgive his fault?"

Duan Qingming said with great interest: "Wujian San, Master Li begged for you."

Wu Jian said three times: "Thanks to the great love of Villa Master Li, the subordinate has neglected his duties, so there is no need for others to intervene."

"Look, Master Li, he doesn't appreciate it," Duan Qingming casually picked up a vermilion fruit from the plate and threw it out. Immediately, a gerbil rushed to pick up the fruit and ran away. He watched the gerbil disappear, and then He spoke again, with a gentle tone, "This is the rule of our pavilion. If the rule is based on human feelings, it is not a rule. Please forgive me."

Li Moqing was also witty, and smiled: "The pavilion master misunderstood, this is not a human relationship, but a business, and there are always good rules in doing business."

Wu Jiansan stood up, with a cold voice: "No trouble, Your Excellency."

"It's your honor to be loved by Master Li, how can you be rude," Duan Qingming stopped him, and smiled at Li Moqing, "The third person in Wujian Pavilion is not cheap, Master Li really wants to talk about this a deal?"

Li Moqing insisted: "The owner of the pavilion, please make an offer."

"What if," Duan Qingming paused, "I want "Lanting Thirteen Swords"?"

Li Moqing's complexion changed slightly.

This condition is extremely excessive.Except for Gu Pinglin, everyone present did not expect him to ask for this.Qi Yanfeng covered his mouth in shock, and looked sideways at Gu Pinglin.

Qi Wan'er couldn't help but said: "It's just Wu Jiansan, you are making things difficult."

"Business is all about asking for prices. Why don't you just sit on the ground and pay back the money? How can Master Yun speak for outsiders?" Duan Qingming said slowly, "The value of an item varies from person to person. If it is important to you, it is worth it, Wujian The Three Pairs of Sword King Pavilion are not important, maybe in the heart of Villa Master Li, or maybe Villa Master Li thinks that he is not worth the price?"

Li Moqing was silent.

Wu Jiansan looked at him for a while, then turned and left.

"Wait!" Li Moqing saluted sincerely, "Can I ask the Pavilion Master to change the conditions?"

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "It seems that "Lanting Thirteen Swords" is more important to Master Li."

Li Moqing didn't answer, Wu Jiansan slowly clenched his fists.

Gu Pinglin suddenly said: ""Thirteen Swords of Lanting" is more important, what can it represent?"

He took a few steps forward, but he didn't look at Duan Qingming, but turned to face the crowd, and said calmly: "As we all know, "Thirteen Swords of Lanting" is very important to Zhuangzhu Li. , at the expense of your life, since it is so important to Master Li, then Wu Jiansan, are you willing to accept this favor?"

Wu Jiansan was taken aback, then shook his head: "No." After finishing speaking, he instantly relaxed.

Gu Pinglin turned to Duan Qingming: "It seems that this transaction is doomed to fail, why does the pavilion master have to ask the answer?"

Duan Qingming said leisurely: "If you really value it, how can you not be willing to give up a mere sword technique?"

Gu Pinglin said: "If you really value it, then how can another person not value what he values?"

Duan Qingming laughed loudly, and dropped a piece of Zhu Guo: "It's just a joke, if the Sword King Pavilion really took the "Lanting Thirteen Swords" and let the guests suffer such a big loss, who would dare to come to the door in the future? Since Master Li pleads, of course I want to save face, so how about letting Sword Master Yun compete with you for two moves?"

Li Moqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Gu Pinglin stopped talking.

Duan Qingming is just playing with people's hearts. Li Moqing is okay, but the other person is extreme. If he really led his emotions, it is easy to cause problems. King Pavilion.

"Lanting Thirteen Swords" was named Liu Xiujie, but it did not decline because of the decline of the Li family.Qi Wan'er didn't dare to be negligent, she turned sideways, and Yao Feng next to her immediately summoned the Xugu Sword.Qi Wan'er didn't even look at him, and sullenly summoned her Jade Emperor Sword.Seeing this, Yao Feng silently withdrew his sword, and retreated to the side together with Gu Pinglin and Qi Yanfeng.

"Jade Emperor Sword?" Li Moqing was surprised.

"What kind of sword is not important," Qi Wan'er raised her chin, looking at Wu Jiansan, "Everyone is similar, so swords are not strange."

Wu Jiansan's identity is very dangerous, he is sure that Li Moqing has scruples.

Hearing such a direct threat, Li Moqing was a little amused. After all, he has a good temper, and said wittily: "I have heard the name of Sword Master Yun for a long time. In fact, my pulse has just recovered. "Lanting Thirteen Swords" only practiced one sword, so I will use this Let's compete with Your Excellency with one sword."

Qi Wan'er said: "I heard that Your Excellency's sword is the Heavenly Sword."

"I don't know how many years it took for the scenery here to be formed. It would be a pity to break it with a sword," Li Moqing shook his head, and several sand swords sprang out from the ground beside him, "Since it is a sword competition, why don't we use the surrounding objects as swords, and your Excellency come out?" Hi, I'll take it, how about it?"

Qi Wan'er felt regretful when she heard the words, but she didn't object, she put away the Jade Emperor Sword resolutely: "It's all good."

Li Moqing walked to the opposite side and raised his hand: "Please."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a gust of wind blowing towards his face, and yellow sand rose with the wind!

The coarse sand in the wind, every grain of sand has a faint golden light, like a little bit of glazed sand, between the friction, there is a sound of gold and iron clashing.

The move was deliberately slowed down to let the opponent fully perceive the subtlety of the sword move, so as to find a way to break it. This is undoubtedly the most magnanimous and fair sword discussion, which is enough to see the swordsman's mind.

The sword moves are gorgeous and extravagant, which is the unique style of the Qi family, but it is also different, the sword spirit is purer and more practical.

Gu Pinglin thought to himself.

It is worthy of being a swordsman genius with the same reputation as Duan Qingming in the previous life. If there is no difference in skills, the power of this move is not much worse than "Yan Ying in the Cloud". It should be Qi Wan'er's strongest move at present.Also leaving the Qi family, Qi Wan'er is undoubtedly luckier than her sister Qi Yanfeng. He is already intelligent, and with Duan Qingming's intentional or unintentional inspiration, he can realize his own unique exercises to make up for the missing Qi family's advanced exercises. Good luck.

Qi Yanfeng put down his hand covering his face, and looked up, his beautiful eyes could not hide the color of envy.

Li Moqing stood opposite safely, surrounded by wind and sand.His gentle voice came from the wind: "This move is somewhat similar to Bei Qi's 'Pedestrians Seeing Shangqiu Moon'."

Qi Wan'er didn't dare to take it lightly, and looked at the opposite side intently: "The name is 'Muye Chensha'."

Li Moqing praised: "This is a good move."

Duan Qingming said "Yeah", stroked his palms and said, "When did Sword Master Yun come up with such a powerful sword move? Congratulations."

Qi Wan'er snorted, her eyes were shining brightly: "Vendor Li hasn't made a move yet?"

He raised his palm in front of his chest, and his fingers changed instantly, the grains of sand suddenly became several times larger, turning into countless small golden swords!

At the same time, Li Moqing's voice also sounded: "With a sword in Lan Ting, the lonely orchid will live in a secluded garden."

A whirlwind suddenly appeared on the ground!

When Sha Jian touched the whirlwind, they stopped moving forward and were caught in the whirlwind.

"Huh?" Qi Wan'er hurriedly used the sword formula, but those sand swords seemed to be stuck, and they were out of control.

All the golden sand was sucked into the whirlwind, dancing with it, and a huge golden orchid danced out in a short while.

Qi Wan'er pursed her lips and looked at it for a while, before finally letting go.

Realizing that he had given up, the people on the opposite side also quit as soon as they saw it, the whirlwind stopped, and the orchid petals scattered one after another, turning into sand on the ground again.

It is not the coarse sand before, but a piece of extremely soft fine sand, which is very eye-catching.

Qi Wan'er was silent.

Wu Jiansan looked at Li Moqing and bent his lower lip.

""Thirteen Swords of Lanting" deserves its reputation." Duan Qingming praised.

Li Moqing smiled gently, with a faint hint of spirit between his brows: "Is it worth the Pavilion Master's sword?"

"It's not enough," Duan Qingming said, "You can't beat me with this sword."

That sounds crazy enough.Li Moqing was not angry, but his expression became serious: "I look forward to teaching you someday."

Duan Qingming said in an unclear manner: "That depends on whether there is time."

Gu Pinglin frowned.

Li Moqing didn't mind much, and turned to Qi Wan'er: "Accept."

Qi Wan'er slightly turned her face away, her tone was blunt: "I didn't let it go, I lost, Yinlan swordsmanship is really powerful."

Li Moqing shook his head: "The "Lanting Thirteen Swords" is indeed powerful, but Li is only inheriting the unique knowledge from his ancestors, but you can create a move with your own strength. This kind of ambition is far better than mine."

Qi Wan'er was silent for a moment, then nodded to him: "Thank you."

Li Moqing asked Duan Qingming: "Does what the pavilion master said before count?"

Duan Qingming said: "Of course, Wujian San doesn't have to be punished. Let's continue to discuss business. Li Zhuang is mainly looking for someone?"

Li Moqing said: "I don't want to look for it anymore, I want to take Wu Jiansan away."

"Oh?" Duan Qingming asked, "Wu Jian San, what do you think?"

Wu Jiansan lowered his head and said: "This subordinate does not want to leave the Sword King Pavilion, so I will leave."

"It's not rain." Li Moqing stretched out his hand to pull him, but seemed to think of something, and stopped in mid-air.

Wu Jiansan stopped, and said for a while, "This subordinate doesn't know Mr. Li."

Seeing him leave, Duan Qingming said with a smile: "Master Li probably has the wrong person."

Gu Pinglin patted Li Moqing's shoulder.

Lan Feiyu now has the identity of the heir of the demon head, and there is nowhere to go if he leaves the Sword King Pavilion. He must not go back to Yinlan Villa, unless he goes to the Demon Realm. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run.

Li Moqing was also agitated for a while, and when he calmed down, he knew something was wrong. After a while, he turned around and said: "I am ashamed to visit the door this time. Li will not bother the pavilion master."

Duan Qingming said: "If the business is not done, we are still friends. Will Mr. Li stay for a few more days?"

"No need, leave." Li Moqing forced a smile, and cupped his hands towards Gu Pinglin, "I'll talk about it in the future."

Duan Qingming said regretfully: "Since Villa Master Li insists on leaving, it is inconvenient for me to force him to stay. There are still guests here. Please, Sword Master Wu, send Villa Master Li for me."

Yao Feng took the order and sent Li Moqing away.

Qi Wan'er looked at Qi Yanfeng and gestured.

Without waiting for Qi Yanfeng to speak, Duan Qingming said first: "I know the purpose of Miss Qi's visit, this matter is difficult, you are different from Sword Master Yun, you are practicing authentic Qi's swordsmanship, you need the authentic Qi's kung fu to cooperate, I'm afraid can not help you."

Qi Yanfeng felt sad when he heard the words, as if he was about to cry again.

"However," Duan Qingming changed the subject, "I heard that Yuxue's exercises are somewhat similar to Qi's exercises. If you have a way to get Yuxue's exercises for reference, maybe you can find a way."

Qi Wan'er said: "This is not to make things difficult for others, how can Yuxuemen lend the exercises?"

"Yeah, that's why it's hard to say," Duan Qingming said, "but there are chances. I just got the news that Yuxuemen has just captured the defected disciple Yi Xian and is escorting them back to the gate. Arrive in Qianlong Snow Valley in a month, as long as you rescue Yi Xian, you can get the exercises from her."

Yuxuemen is not considered a top-notch sword sect, but seizing skills is a matter of great enmity, and they will definitely face Yuxue's disciples who will never die and kill them endlessly.

Qi Wan'er hesitated, but Qi Yanfeng said: "I'll go."

"Miss Qi is so courageous," Duan Qingming said mildly, "Sword King Pavilion is not allowed to interfere in foreign affairs, and the seriousness of seizing skills, Sword Master Yun should understand, right?"

Qi Wan'er snorted: "You don't need to tell me, I won't interfere." After speaking, he sighed again, and said to Qi Yanfeng: "Let's go."

Several maids retreated silently, and at some point, the sound of the qin and flute stopped in the distance, leaving behind a garden full of dead trees and yellow sand on the ground, and there were two other people.

The owner of the pavilion in white was still sitting on the couch, teasing the gerbils with Zhu Guo in a leisurely manner, without giving up his seat.A few gerbils scurried around to grab the fruit, making a "rustling" sound.

"It's your turn to chase me."

A familiar voice echoed in his mind, Gu Pinglin looked at the person in front of him thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a flower snake sprang out from under the dead tree, bit a gerbil, and entangled it. The other gerbils screamed in fright and fled in all directions.

"What an unexpected visitor." Duan Qingming sighed, and threw Zhu Guo back on the plate.

There are many poisonous insects in the blood moon miasma valley, Gu Pinglin was not surprised by the sight, and walked to him: "Didn't you attract the uninvited guest?"

Duan Qingming raised his eyes to look at him: "I remember Master Gu said that where there is the Sword King Pavilion, the Spiritual Heart Sect will avoid it."

Gu Pinglin said: "I did say so."

"If you don't see the pavilion master for three days, you will break into the Sword King Pavilion. Is this your avoidance?"

"Because there is no way to avoid it. I need to explain the business in Haishi, and the matter between Anvil City and Dulanggou."

"It's a matter of course to pay back the debt." Duan Qingming pushed away the wine glass, picked up the jade ruler next to him, his eyes were cold, "The transaction is completed, and you haven't paid the money for a long time. The Sword King Pavilion has to collect the interest by itself. Mr. Gu I can't bear to watch my Sword King Pavilion drink the northwest wind up and down."

Gu Pinglin said: "You are a lion with a big mouth."

Duan Qingming said: "At the beginning of the business negotiation, you wanted the Wind Sword Twelve, and you let me ask for the price. This price is a bit high, but it's your wish, and I didn't force you."

"Tell me the terms I can accept."

"All the business in the north of your school, five years."

"impossible."

"I don't expect Master Gu to agree," Duan Qingming said after the jade ruler handle lightly paused twice, "then pay, did you bring feather coins this time?"

Gu Pinglin said: "I didn't bring it."

Duan Qingming asked: "How does head Gu plan to solve it?"

"No."

"Ok?"

Gu Pinglin leaned over slightly, took out a vermilion fruit from the plate, and threw it out: "The price is too expensive, I regret it, the pavilion master can recall Fengjian Twelve."

Duan Qingming put down the jade ruler upon hearing this, and said with a half-smile: "Are you lying to me?"
