Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 223: The Eagle of the Blue Sky (Twenty-Two)
Dongfang Xiaoxian's eyes were fixed on the young man opposite.

The strange color in his eyes could not be wiped away.

Since her master's guidance and teaching, her swordsmanship has always been on the path of simplifying the complex and striving for perfection.

She had great admiration for her master's martial arts attainments.

Therefore, there are very few sword masters in Yunnan and Guizhou who can be taken seriously by her.

Looking across the world, only the four true teachings of Hengshan are what she values ​​most.

She had long heard the rumors about the Sword God's disciple, but she was confident and always had the assurance that she could win the battle.

Only after experiencing the sword power of the third senior brother from Hengshan, I realized how unique it is.

Compared with myself, he was able to use simple moves without being at a disadvantage at all.

Let’s talk about internal strength, not to mention the losses he suffered in the previous two battles.

Even if we compete in palm strength again at this moment, I am afraid there will be no chance of winning if we continue to persist.

It is widely rumored in the martial arts world that the Sword God created his own magical skills and his internal strength is endless.

It may sound incredible at first, but we can get a glimpse of it from this third senior brother.

Dongfang Xiaoxian's heart was shaken. She had only heard of the Sword God's name in the past, and knew that he was respected by everyone in the martial arts world, but she had never seen his true appearance, so she didn't know the details. She was suspicious and compared him with her master. She thought that the old man had lived in seclusion for many years, and it was difficult to guess his martial arts skills. His martial arts insights were also unfathomable, so she often felt unfair for her master.

After this battle, she had to think about many things in her mind and became more cautious.

Outside of Panzhou, the world is vast.

The Hengshan School is indeed a place where dragons and tigers crouch.

For a moment, Dongfang Xiaoxian suddenly had an idea and used his peripheral vision to glimpse Xiaoxiang. His thoughts were so complicated that it was difficult to keep them simple.

Gu Ji looked at Dongfang Xiaoxian, with a strange look in his eyes.

Firstly, this girl was more powerful than he expected, and secondly, she had experience in fighting with swords.

This is very different from sparring with fellow disciples.

After all, fellow disciples understand each other.

Competing with an unfamiliar opponent can give you new inspiration from new sword techniques.

but
Throughout all these years, there are very few people who can allow him to use his full strength.

Therefore, I became even more curious about the girl's origins.

Thinking that she was from Panzhou and the inscriptions on the city wall were also from Panzhou, I immediately had a deeper association.

He was about to test the waters.

Dongfang Xiaoxian put away his sword and suddenly asked:
"I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it."

Gu Ji also put away his sword: "Please speak."

"I wonder which of the four great disciples of Hengshan is stronger and which is weaker?"

When Gu Ji heard this question, he chuckled and responded, "The four of us have each received instruction from our master. Due to our different talents and specializations, our sword paths are very different."

"They fought with swords, and each won and lost."

"However, my second senior sister is the most talented in swordsmanship."

Gu Ji's face was filled with admiration: "The Divine Peak is ethereal and profound. My master used the sword as his foundation in his early years and reached the peak. Therefore, this way is the foundation of my Hengshan. I have my master's legacy, and the teachings are the most authentic."

"so."

"Second Senior Sister is the most difficult to deal with among us brothers."

This is no secret, Gu Ji is telling the truth.

After Dongfang Xiaoxian heard this and saw the expression on his face, she knew that this second senior sister must be extraordinary.

Hengshan sword style, the legacy of the Sword God.

Just a few words made the audience's eyes stare with longing and their hearts boil with excitement.

Dongfang Xiaoxian thought of another level.

Today's battle proved that the four true disciples of Hengshan are worthy of their reputation.

Moreover, the four of them have different sword styles.

This is even more amazing.

They were taught by one master, but he was able to follow the talents of four people and let each of them cultivate their own sword.

Although she had never seen the Sword God, at this moment she deeply felt the significance of this name that was rumored in the martial arts world.

Xiaoxiang Xiaoxiang
This legend that has been circulating for many years is located there.

Seeing her suddenly silent, Gu Ji couldn't help but become interested.

Suddenly said:
"If you want to ask my second senior sister about swords, you may have to go to Yancheng. My senior sister often studies classics and travels less. Now she is often in seclusion. I am afraid she will not leave Yancheng for a long time."

"Her retreat is at the side peak of Tianzhu. Although it is not the retreat place of my master, it is also along the Tianshan Mountain."

"If you want to see her, I'm afraid you can't get past the Sword Tomb on Mount Tianshan."

Gu Ji said kindly: "If you want to go to Yancheng, you can find me. I can help you meet the second sister."

"She must be happy to see a swordsman like you."

"Thank you."

Dongfang Xiaoxian expressed her gratitude but did not dare to force it.

I didn’t expect that the second senior sister was also in seclusion in Tianshan.

To climb Mount Tianshan, one not only has to pass the mountain guardian, but also has to face the sword tomb.

Twenty years ago, there was a man named Kuangfeng Miaozhi guarding there.

I wonder what kind of power this person, one of the five great masters of the past, has now.

So saying that the sword tomb is difficult to pass is by no means a mockery.

When the people in the inn heard this, they all thought about Yancheng.

This holy place of martial arts has a special meaning in the hearts of martial artists, and it is difficult to look at it with the eyes of twenty years ago.

Dongfang Xiaoxian and Gu Ji turned their gaze to old man Dian Cang.

Shang Sufeng looked straight toward the north.

In his deep eagle eyes, there seemed to be a goshawk flying over the night rain of Xiaoxiang under the wind and thunder.

This flyby does not bring any sadness like the night rain.

The eagle flaps its wings and cries, its sound is high-pitched.

"Is the Sword God in Yancheng?"

Old man Dian Cang asked Gu Ji, Dongfang Xiaoxian also looked at Gu Ji curiously, and all the people in the martial arts world also cast their eyes over.

Gu Ji said: "I don't know where the master is."

"However, if Senior Shang came to Yancheng to ask for the sword, people from the martial arts world would surely flock to Xiaoxiang, and Master should be in the sect by then."

Old man Dian Cang nodded.

Then he said to them:

"Your internal strength has been depleted. If you force yourself to fight me, I'm afraid it will damage your foundation."

"Wait three days."

Gu Ji and Dongfang Xiaoxian bowed to him and did not refuse.

They all gained something from the battle today, and it would be most appropriate for them to fight against old man Dian Cang again three days later.

What made the old innkeeper feel relieved was that someone gave him some silver to compensate for the inn's losses.

Moreover, the place where this group of people agreed to fight was Huixian Tower.

At least we don’t have to worry about them tearing down the inn.

Zou Songqing on the second floor looked around but couldn't find the girl.

The third senior brother from Hengshan was also searching like him, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Gu Ji took out the wood carving and got back into the carriage.

Dongfang Xiaoxian took Yang Juncai with them. They looked in the direction where the carriage disappeared and ran back to their residence.

With Shang Sufeng's departure, the three masters were no longer seen in Yuelai Inn.

However, the noise in the inn did not decrease at all.

The masters from the Western Regions, the inscriptions on the city walls, the four true disciples, the woman in white, what Dian Cang Miaozhi saw today was enough for them to discuss for years.

Once the topic shifted to Dian Cang Eagle asking Xiaoxiang about Jian, the people in the martial arts world found it difficult to control their emotions.

Many people have already made up their minds.

After the battle in Xianlou, we will rush towards Yancheng.

Once the secret of Dian Cang is revealed, the sword god who has rarely been seen in more than 20 years may reappear in the world.

All those young heroes who grew up listening to the legend of the Sword God were excited.

This is an opportunity to get a glimpse of the legend of Jianghu!

People from the martial arts world kept pouring into Yuelai Inn. Many of those who arrived late felt extremely regretful after hearing the descriptions of the scene.

Simultaneously
As the news in the inn continued to spread, the tide of the martial arts world was visibly rising.

On this tide.

There was a hawk circling.
At this moment, also on Xili Street, less than a hundred feet away from Yuelai Inn, there is another inn called "Manfu".

Window location on the second floor.

The wine flags fluttered with a rustling sound. The business here was obviously not as good as the Yuelai Inn, and even many people in the martial arts world were attracted there.

This makes the inn much quieter.

"Sir, the food is ready. Here is your wine."

"Please enjoy."

The waiter put down his wine cup, the people at the table nodded, and he walked away with a smile.

But when going down the stairs, I couldn't help but look back curiously.

Although he had received many people from the martial arts world, both from the south and the north, even the blue-eyed people from the Western Regions were not rare.

But this table of guests gave him a very strange feeling.

There was a veil with a gauze curtain on the corner of the table.

A corner of the gauze curtain floated down and was held in the hand of an extremely pretty girl.

She seemed a little uneasy.

Those little hands were always pulling at the corner of the curtain.

Big, bright eyes always have a cool look.

At this time, he kept staring downwards, not daring to look straight ahead. Occasionally, he glanced to the side, and very rarely, he looked forward secretly.

Standing beside him was a young man.

As soon as the waiter brought the wine, the young man immediately grabbed the seat, holding the wine jug and standing by the table to pour the wine.

Directly opposite the boy and girl, sat a young man with a calm expression.

He looks like an ordinary person, but he has an indescribable aura.

At this moment, he was watching the young man pouring wine, but the young man only looked at the wine and did not dare to look him in the eye.

"It's spilled!"

Seeing the wine spilled on the table, the girl quickly stood up: "Come, let me do it."

She took the wine jug and stood next to the young man.

Guaiqiao said:
"Dad, I heard that you went to Kunlun Snow Mountain. Why did you come to Yunnan and Guizhou?"

Her voice was soft and intimate, completely different from the way she usually spoke.

The young man next to him was no longer surprised.

He felt uneasy and just hoped his sister could fool him.

The young man raised his glass and asked, "Who told you that I went to Kunlun?"

The girl said obediently: "Mom mentioned it during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year."

"It is said that there is a rumor about sword energy in Kunlun Yuxu Palace recently. Perhaps the two seniors Zhenshanzi and Zhenhuazi have comprehended the Five Secrets of the Heavenly Dragon to the extreme, and even innovated."

"It is also said that these two had some connection with Dad."

"Mother said that you are thinking about moving, and maybe you will go to Kunlun to see your old friends at the end of this summer."

She spoke clearly and logically, and it didn't sound like she was lying.

The young man heard this and said, "That's right, but I changed my mind again."

The boy at the side felt a little guilty and couldn't help but interrupt: "But is it because of us?"

"What do you say?"

The girl was pouring wine on the side, and like the boy, she did not respond to the conversation.

After finishing a glass of wine, he seemed to realize his mistake and said weakly, "I made Daddy worried."

"It's just that my daughter has been staying in Gusu. Although she has the joy of piano music, she also has no shortage of martial arts books."

"But Daddy always said that the world you have heard of is different from the world you have walked through."

"We listened to the teachings, and that's why we had the ambition to venture into the world."

"One day the young eagle will flap its wings and fly off the cliff."

"You think so?"

The young man nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"I heard that you guys were fighting someone in Huixian Tower. I was very curious, so I came to take a look."

Even a girl with a clever tongue can be speechless sometimes.

The boy remained silent.

Sure enough, it is impossible to hide something from your father.

The brother and sister knew their father's temper very well.

If he didn't care, he wouldn't mention it.

If you open your mouth, don't dwell on it anymore.

Although they are taught a lot of etiquette on a daily basis, as long as they don't say or do anything out of line, they are given a lot of freedom in other matters.

Therefore.
After he spoke, the brother and sister chose to forget the previous battle at Huixian Tower.

The girl cleverly changed the subject:

"Dad, two young masters have arranged a battle with Dian Cang Miao Di in Hui Xian Tower. We are just going to take a look. I don't think you will blame us, will you?"

quickly
I heard two "ouch" sounds.

The boys and girls all touched their foreheads.

The young man smiled at them and pointed at the food on the table: "You have been watching the inn for so long, eat quickly."

Then he said in a gentle voice:
"Xiaoshu is a little older than you, but there are two of you. Stop messing around."

The brother and sister came to their senses after hearing this.

Before they knew it, the young man who had spoken had come behind them.

The back of their heads were gently rubbed.

When the comfort wore off, they heard a faint sound of wind, and when they looked back, the person had disappeared.

At this time, there was a commotion coming from the bottom of the inn.

It turned out that a large group of gangsters came in and were discussing the matter of Yuelai Inn.

Although the brother and sister are young, they each have their own unique skills and can be considered masters of the world.

but
No matter how close they are to their father, they can never get a glimpse of his skills.

"Sister, are you still going to Huixianlou?"

"Of course I want to go."

Zhao Fei said: "Third Senior Brother and the woman in white are going to fight with the Dian Cang Divine Sword, how can we miss it."

Zhao Yuyan asked again: "Third Senior Brother, if you use all your strength, can you defeat the Dian Cang Divine Sword?"

"I don't think so."

Zhao Fei shook his head: "Dad said last time that they are still a little bit behind the masters of Miao Di."

"However, being able to fight with such a master will always be rewarding."

Originally, they were going to Huixian Tower to have a fight.

But at this point, I can only be a spectator.
East of Liangdu.

Two figures quickly ran out of the city. They ignored the people from the martial arts world who gathered under the city to read the inscriptions, and ran all the way to the main road and escaped into the dense forests of the mountains.

"Brother, that person is not chasing us anymore."

The young woman looked back and signaled Brother Sun to stop.

"Don't talk, just keep running!"

But Senior Brother Sun didn't listen at all. He pulled her and continued to run away.

After half an hour, they arrived at a dilapidated mountain temple and stopped.

Sun Xinzhao signaled to his junior sister not to make any noise.

They were silent for a long time, and only felt relieved when they heard no unusual movements of birds in the forest.

"Junior sister, don't be careless."

"Just now, the girl was with the Dian Cang Divine Sword."

He said in a deep voice: "The secrets of the martial arts world are far from something we can afford to provoke."

The woman asked: "Brother, why is she chasing us?"

"I am not sure as well."

"If it was the Dian Cang Divine Sword that gave the order, then that would be the worst possible outcome."

Sun Xinzhao sighed:

"Master was going to come to Liangdu to read the inscriptions himself, but he suddenly sent me a book saying that Liangdu was in danger."

"According to His Book"

"Perhaps it is to avoid Dian Cang Miaozhi."

"This Miao Di may have some grudge against the master, but we don't know."

"We will go find Master and ask him about this later. We can't take risks again."
