Chapter 012 – The man who seeks death kills the man who waits for death.
That aged master soundly strokes the piano finished, Huo Ran rose, hands slowly sink, spit out a mouthful of turbid air, and again the master’s demeanor all show, crane hair and childlike old man slowly walked down as a huge turtle back of the green stone, full of kind eyes smile asked: “The disciple, for the teacher’s zither skill is not again refined a few points?”
The woman with the sword nodded her head in a serious manner and gave a thumbs up, “Master has advanced a hundred feet, awesome!”
Even Xu Fenian, who thought that his shamelessness was profound, was somewhat unable to handle the shamelessness of this pair of master and disciple. However, if there were a few more of these “people of temperament” on the talisman mountain, the fact that he didn’t tear off this ghostly talisman in the territory of Youzhou in one breath, he would have taken the opportunity to gain some insight. Of course, the piano skills “extraordinary” of the old man or, seemingly silly knife woman also, in the bones of the oil-smooth shrewd, after all, not many years ago in the Qingcheng front of the mountain encountered those cut the path of the vermin, those guys, robbing people of silver money can not bear to scavenge empty, will remember to leave some money for the journey home, a line of work, the same bandits, where they are! As the talisman mountain this murderous, old man Meng, small hawthorn, small finch, so many years past, a face is still vivid, five years past, small hawthorn do not know whether to take over as a big boss, small finch also do not know whether the pavilion jade standing? Xu Fengyen’s out of mind is just a blink of an eye, and his so-called out of mind nowadays doesn’t delay to check all the qi flow around, simply put, take a ten thousand steps back, even if he Xu Fengyen sleeps to death, and let a second-ranked minor sect master attack and kill with all his strength, it is also the latter’s end of the death on the spot, the scenery above the nine floors, not only is it the small sect masters in the eyes of those in the rivers and lakes that have already been regarded as immortal people, that is, first-ranked two realms of Jin Gang Zhixuan, it is also impossible for the first-ranked two realms of Jin Gang Zhixuan. of Vajra Fingers Xuan, also could not imagine how magnificent was that picture scroll of martial arts that was completely spread out. Xu Fengnian nowadays occasionally wondered what it would be like if it was his current self, facing the man-cat who was then claimed to be invincible to Han under the Land Goddess outside of Shenwu City.
“Kid, the old man observes that your roots and bones are not bad.”
The old man gazed at Xu Fengnian and paused slightly after saying this, then said in a serious tone, “Otherwise, why don’t you learn to play the zither from the old man?”
Xu Fengnian laughed.
In the distance came two people, a man and a woman, sort of a man and a woman, the man was in his thirties, a high crown and shirt, with an elegant demeanor. The woman’s face is particularly moving, let a person pity, just exceptionally slender small savage waist hanging pendant long and short double knife, between the eyebrows is heroic, born very odd, seems to be not natural, but a piece of diamond, by the state craftsmen carving from the day after tomorrow, no matter how, this woman belongs to the kind of very let a person remember a glance will be difficult to let go of that kind of. Xu Fengyen turned his head to look, guessed a person, the neighbor immortal coffin caves surnamed Lu Junyan, at the same time recognize a person, that is, he can not help but some heartfelt surprise, was actually the year Koa Lane scouting Lang side of the weak woman, when she called Fan Xiaochai, later borrowed Lin Yu Lin tan that heavy and Xu family ties with the identity of the shallow, entered the Qingliang Mountain Wang Fu, checking the terrain, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate him as the wutong courtyard of the son of the Royal Highness, and then Rightly so, the deed was exposed, and it was thrown to Yuan Erge to the head of the spies, Lu Qiuer, Xu Fengyen did not pay attention to it after that, only to hear that this woman’s real name is Fan Xiaochai, the granddaughter of the Northern Han Zhenguo general Fan Baoshan, not ashamed to be a woman who would be stupid enough to run to the ground of Liangzhou to kill him Xu Fengyen, and even to take an alias is so unintentional. But later in that closing net fishing in Qing Rong Guan of Huangnan County, she was the very same armor clad woman who nailed the Guan master Qinghuai Lao Dao to the wall with a single sword. When the old man met, Xu Fengyen did not move, so did Fan Xiaochai, only the eyes flowed, a flash of complexity and obscurity, surprisingly there was not too much sensible hatred, so that Xu Fengyen felt more and more surprised.
The two men’s sights quietly staggered past, the elegant Confucian had already opened his mouth and respectfully said to the old man, “Immortal Coffin Cave disciple Lu Haiya, pay my respects to Immortal Master Wei.”
The old man nodded, his attention lingered more on Fan Xiao Chai, and opened the door to ask: “Lu Haiya, this girl is the strange woman that your Sinking Sword Cave Lord has green eyes for, a big old man, in the end, even the cheeks don’t want to be, begging her to abandon the sword and practicing the sword, and have to accept her as a shut-in disciple?”
Lu Haiya softly laughed: “How does Enshu count, Lu Haiya dare not comment. However, Wei Xianshi perhaps do not know, Fan girl is the granddaughter of the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, General Fan, the granddaughter, fell into trouble in the civil world, by chance, was a martial arts senior hermit recognized the roots and bones of the natural talent, teach the sword ……”
The old man impatiently waved his hand and said: “These have no, say with the old man listen meaningless, the old man was Gu Jiantang’s pawn, and not the old part of the Northern Liang, the Northern Han is to the Xu people massacred, to seek revenge, but also can not find the old man’s head.”
Lu Haiya smiled without saying anything.
The woman who had not long entered the Immortal Coffin Cave narrowed her eyes, heavy killing machine, young, just like a small master qi Panran out of the magnificent weather.
The old man laughed to himself, sardonically said: “If you say with the old man to ask for a hand weapon, is barely justified, after all, the old man hand a knife and a sword, with the Northern Han Fan family some origins, fluke are in the new martial arts evaluation of the spectrum of weapons, sparrow-tailed knife, is the sixteenth of that famous knife, known in the world with the sharp and unparalleled, the copper rusted sword, but also the twelfth of the famous sword, the sword to go on the wrong side of the edge, in order to blunt out of the strange. ”
Talisman mountain master’s daughter, forefinger gently knocking the hilt of the gold silk knife, brilliant smile: “Yo, to others land spread joy wild, how this girl clearly know the sinking sword grotto master also did not have this kind of patience ah, that year, harnessing the gas that comes from the sinking sword grotto of the thirty-six swords, come to talisman mountain battle, not the same was to fight a flag and drums equal? The master does not come out, the disciple is bouncing quite powerful ah.”
Fan Xiaochai calmly said, “Mi Fengjie is also worthy of being my master?”
The Golden Sword woman who met her love rival on her own turf fiercely gripped the hilt of her sword, as if she was about to draw her sword in a big fight, like whoever won would be able to lead that Mr. Lu home.
Lu Haiya, the disciple of Sinking Sword Cave Master Mi Fengjie, was obviously a bit embarrassed and coughed a few times.
The old man who was addressed by Shen Li as Wei Jin laughed playfully, “Fan family’s little girl, it’s not easy to be among the second grade realm, since it’s not yet stabilized, then don’t fight with people to the death so easily, don’t listen to the old man’s words, it’s easy to suffer a loss right in front of your eyes.”
Fan Xiaochai looked indifferent and said, “Can realm be a meal?”
Xu Fengnian was somewhat impressed. In the realm of condescension, he can see that Fan Xiaochai’s qi underpinnings, still inferior to the old senior Wei Jin, but only this death-defying guts, let a lot of the more the realm climbing more and more is a life-saving fear of death of the experts feel ashamed to be inferior. Xu Fengyen’s fight for his life is not much to say, but to say less is not less, Wudang Mountain battle Suizhu Princess’s retinue, reed swings, red armor, duck head green inn battle Northern Mang devil Xie Ling, grassland battle Tuo Bao Chun falcon color sleeve old man end of the Marco Polo back to the back of the three people, the battle of fifth raccoon under the mountain of the Tibing, Iron Gate Gate war outside Yang Tai Sui, Shenwu City outside the battle of the human cat Han Sheng Xuan, the battle of the Great Heavenly Elephant Willow Artemisia division, there are lost and won, but each opponent at that time, realm Undoubtedly, the realm of each opponent at that time is beyond Xu Fenian, Xu Fenian can survive, of course, luck is not bad is a reason, but never timid battle, and try their best to calculate, is also vital. The Spring God Lake side of the death in the hands of Xu Fen Nian spring paste grass hall patriarch, is an excellent example of the opposite, too closed doors, indulging in painless literary fight, in vain realm, not to talk about killing the enemy across the border, meet the same realm opponent’s life and death struggle, are not good enough to hit. Xu Fengyen glanced at Fan Xiaochai’s extraordinarily slender waist, some sighs, this year’s weak to the extreme woman, even became a small master of martial arts that can be called with Wei Jin, it is true that the world is unpredictable.
Nothing to do Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the waterfall hanging on the cliff, and once again looked at Fan Xiaochai’s waist, so repeatedly, froze the field of the sword on the heavy atmosphere, three or two to destroy all, Fan Xiaochai finally looked at him this is an unshared hatred of enemies, and then did not move away from the line of sight, and then Lu Haiya some puzzled to look at the love of love at first sight of the desired woman, the talismanic mountains of the young lady was stared at this scholar on the neighboring mountain with a puff of air, leaving behind a second mountain lord of Talisman Mountain who didn’t know who to stare at to see what was right. Xu Fengnian was the first to realize something was wrong, living up to his reputation as an outsider, heartlessly asking: ”What are you all doing one by one, not fighting anymore? Finished? Aren’t you all masters of flying around and stepping on snow without a trace? Even if you don’t fight, it’s still good to fight?”
The woman who wore the gold silk short sword was the first one to break, her five fingers loosened the hilt of the sword, she couldn’t help but be amused, and deliberately feigned anger and glared, “You’re the one who is standing around and talking without a pain in the ass! If you have the ability, you come!”
Xu Fengnian laughed: “I’ll do it? Compared to being smart mouth, beating all of you is no big deal.”
Fan Xiaochai, who was never cold to anyone, smiled for the first time and asked, “Is that all?”
Xu Fengnian caged his sleeves with both hands and smiled, naturally a rogue embroidered pillow in the eyes of everyone except Fan Xiaochai.
A white-clothed child trotted in, saying that the mountain lord was holding a banquet and wanted master and miss as well as Mr. Lu, Miss Fan, to go to the banquet.
Fan Xiaochai said coldly, “I’ll wait here for Wei Xianshi for you to fetch the Sparrow Tailed Knife Copper Rusted Sword, and then it will be a fight to the death.”
Immortal Master Wei laughed and was noncommittal, Lu Haiya knew this woman’s temperament, so he had to go to the mountaintop with Wei Jin and that difficult woman from Talisman Mountain.
Thus the side of the falling well was left with only two men and women who each knew their hidden identities by heart.
Xu Fengyen approached the well, squatted and reached out to catch the water, the water mist filled the air, but could not get close, the palm of his hand was still three or four feet away from the mouth of the well, but the waterfall was ripped out diagonally and poured into Xu Fengyen’s palm, like a white lotus blooming.
Fan Xiaochai was silent for a long time, finally walked behind him, his emotional tone did not have any ups and downs, and said flatly, “Fan Xiaochai of the first class room of the Whisking Water Society, I have met the King of Northern Liang!”
Xu Fengnian, who had his back turned to the woman, asked, “The Whisking Water Society has previously placed dead spies here?”
Fan Xiaochai replied, “No, Fan Xiaochai entered the mountain this time for both public and private matters, the public matter is that there is a sizable amount of gold and silver hidden in the two mountains, if we get our hands on it, we can alleviate the urgency of military needs in Youzhou. For private matters, the King of Northern Liang already knows that Fan Xiaochai wants to retrieve the family heirloom sword.”
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, “Family heirloom? What, after retrieving the famous sword and knife, you want to take revenge with me?”
Fan Xiaochai replied, “I don’t dare.”
Xu Fengyen retracted his hand, stood up, wiped his sleeve with his palm and laughed, “What a dare, a thief’s heart is not dead.”
Fan Xiaochai stared at Xu Fengnian dead in the face, thinking of the sight of that hand opening a lotus flower, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Is the King of Northern Liang really the world’s sixth in the world’s martial arts evaluation?”
Xu Fengnian, whose vast aura had dissipated again, said, “Thanks to your patience, you didn’t draw your sword against me as soon as that group of people left, it seems that these few years of enduring humiliation as a spy of the Whisking Water Society have not been in vain.”
The woman gently bit her lips and closed her eyes.
Xu Fengyen bent down and took off a slightly longer saber from her waist, crossed it over his head, unsheathed half of it, gazed at the snowy blade, and asked with a smile, “Fan Xiaochai, do you think we are not just a leaf floating back to the sea, and where do we not meet each other in life?”
Fan Xiaochai suddenly drew his sword, holding the sword very steadily, out of the sword very quickly, the tip of the short sword in his hand viciously stabbed at Xu Fengnian’s back.
One inch from the center, the short knife directly penetrated the chest of the Northern Liang King.
Xu Fengyen’s face was as usual, his right hand returned the long knife to its sheath, he extended his left hand and broke the tip of the knife with two fingers, then gently tapped it, the short knife and the trembling Fan Xiaochai flew out upside down, Fan Xiaochai’s whole arm sagged down, but still did not give up the knife.
Xu Fengyen did not look back, casually threw the long knife to the bold assassin Fan Xiaochai, and then reached out and harnessed the Qi to pull over a waterfall as thick as the wrist, washing away the two puddles of blood on the chest and back of the shirt, and the wounds are “slowly” healing.
Xu Fengyen did all this, then turned around and asked with a smile: “This kind of feeling is not good, right, it’s not easy to drum up the courage, with the intention of dying together, but still not able to kill the enemy. When I faced a person surnamed Liu, I also had it. But your luck is definitely better than mine, in the future there will be more opportunities like this, every time you advance in your realm in the future, you can come to me to try. But before you strike, do your Whisking Water Society deaths properly and consider it a deal between us.”
Fan Xiaochai asked a question that smacked of not knowing what was going on, “Have you gone off the deep end?”
Xu Fengyen ignored it and laughed, “When I saw you for the first time back then, I felt that my waist was so thin that it couldn’t be any thinner, and at that moment, I was worried that you weren’t going to twist yourself out of shape as soon as you walked.”
Fan Xiaochai smiled sweetly and said, “It seems that it is not crazy, but it just changed from His Highness the Prince to the King of Northern Liang.”
Xu Fengnian suddenly stretched out a palm and pressed downward.
Fan Xiaochai’s entire body gave way to a mountain press, from kneeling down to his body on the ground was only a matter of a split second.
The whole body tendons and veins of the hidden qi was violently stagnant, this kind of pain to the bone marrow of the pain, ordinary people have never had the opportunity to feel in a lifetime.
The woman tried her best to raise her head, her eyes were obscure, not only revealing the flavor of hatred, but also more meaning, the corner of her mouth was actually holding a complex smile that seemed to be the peak of pain and pleasure.
Xu Fengnian softly said, “You are crazy.”
Fan Xiaochai crawled forward one foot at a time.
How similar, as it were.
Xu Fengnian was stunned.
He sat on the edge of the green stone, quietly waiting for the woman to crawl to her feet, and said, “You notify the spy outside the mountain who is responsible for meeting with you, and tell Huangfu Ping to mobilize a hundred travelling crossbowmen and a thousand armored soldiers, and follow the soldiers and horses mobilized by the Song Yu Bai Shang Xique, and if there is no movement within half a decade in the Bishan County, enter the mountain on your own.”
Fan Xiao Chai seemed to cry and laugh, her internal organs were like a miserable woman who had turned over a river with difficulty reaching out a hand and grasping one of his boots with a death grip, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, she said hoarsely, “Xu Fengyen, you kill me! I beg you!”
Xu Fengyen bent down and reached out to hold her hand, her withered and sickly face instantly flushed and natural, Xu Fengyen’s eyes were intoxicating, softly smiling, “Fan Xiaochai, what’s so hard about wanting to die, it’s only hard to live well. Don’t look at me as the king of different surnames and the sixth in the world, but if my good fortune has been used up, then I am actually just waiting for death along with Beiliang. Of course, you won’t understand even if I say it.”
