Xiao Yuesheng came to Lingzhou City in Western Xia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lingzhou City is bustling and lively, not a little worse than Dali, the locals here are all bald, with a circle of hair in the back, looking weird, but there is no lack of Song people dressed up.
Xiao Yuesheng stood in the middle of the city, not eye-catching.
During the day, he paced in Lingzhou City, his expression was leisurely, and the Yuan Shen Lang was two miles away, and in one day, the entire Lingzhou City was clearly imprinted in his mind.
Where ordinary people can't see, under his primordial spirit, there is nothing to hide, just like the spy satellite high-definition camera of later generations.
I found an inn and stayed.
At night, there was a curfew in the city, but he came out and used the floating light and shadow method, looming, to find out the arrangement of the guards in the city.
I inquired about Yipintang again.
There is an avenue at the east end of Lingzhou City, which runs through the north and south, and the restaurants, inns, and shops on both sides of the avenue are lined up, and they are extremely prosperous.
Yipintang is located next to this avenue, two towering restaurants sandwiched it between the north and south, as soon as you go out, you can enter the restaurant, surrounded by the downtown area, it is very convenient to buy something, people come and go, the traffic is busy, and it is very lively.
Yipintang is a magnificent mansion, covering an extremely wide area, at first glance, it looks like the mansion of a rich and noble family, and there is a stone lion next to the door, as if you want to devour people.
There are two Western Xia men standing next to the stone lion, with open chests, dense black hair, executioner-like ghost head and big knife, cold light flickering, fierce and terrifying.
The gate is open, and from time to time there are men in strange costumes coming in and out, or there are Song Dynasty, or Tubo, or Liao State, and so on.
The four big men turned a blind eye to these people, just staring into the distance with wide eyes, motionless, like four door gods.
Under Xiao Yuesheng's Yuan Shenlang, he found that the defense of Yipintang was indeed loose, as if it was unfortified, and he came and went at will, and no one paid attention to it.
In such a situation, it is obvious that the people of Yipintang are extremely confident and are not afraid of outsiders breaking in.
Xiao Yuesheng spent a night to get a thorough understanding of Yipintang, there are many masters in it, all of them are smart, and they are worthy of Yipintang.
He saw Yipintang clearly, and his mind changed suddenly.
The last time in the apricot forest, he shot out angrily, and wiped out more than a dozen masters of Yipintang in one go, as well as a group of Western Xia warriors, none of them survived, the culprit Helian Tieshu was dead, and the fire of revenge was extinguished.
This time, he originally wanted to start a killing ring, but at this time he changed his mind, he went back to the inn, got a post, and sent it to Yipintang.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yuesheng had breakfast, came to Yipintang slowly, looked at it, and smiled.
There were already four people at the gate, lean figures, medium height, all about forty years old and middle-aged, with slightly closed eyes, as if they were napping.
As soon as Xiao Yuesheng approached, the four of them opened their eyes at the same time, and eight rays of lightning shot out, like substance, as if four swords were unsheathed, and the cold air slashed straight in.
Xiao Yuesheng frowned, ignoring the oncoming cold air, which bypassed in front of him, as if turning into a fresh breeze.
He is now strong in internal strength, and his true qi in the Northern Darkness is profound, and he can protect his body, even if he is really sword-like, he can block it, and he has no momentum.
"This is Yipintang, idlers don't enter!" a middle-aged man said coldly, his eyes were like blades, and he slashed across Xiao Yuesheng's face.
His cheeks are thin, his cheekbones are high, his nose is deep, he doesn't look like the Central Plains bloodline, and he has a cold aura all over his body, Xiao Yuesheng frowned secretly, he has a bad aura on his body, and he should have killed a lot of people.
Shaking his head, he stood with his hands in his hands, and stroked his mustache with the other hand: "In Xia Xiao Guanlan, I said yesterday that I had placed a prayer post, have you ever received it?"
"You are Xiao Guanlan?!" the middle-aged man's eyes widened sharply, and he shouted in a deep voice.
The sound was like a heavy hammer beating a drum, making people's hearts skip a beat, and the people who passed by around stopped one after another, turned their heads to look, and made a cold touch with his cold eyes, and hurriedly turned their heads.
"I'm Xiao Guanlan, maybe go in?!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled slightly.
A gust of south wind suddenly blew on the street, and the restaurant next to him was hunting with flags, and his clothes fluttered, revealing an elegant and free flow.
"Okay, since you are Xiao Guanlan, you can go in!" The middle-aged man looked at him, his eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the other three.
The three of them bowed their heads slightly, took a step back, and the middle-aged man turned around and said, "Please come with me!"
After that, he walked ahead, walked calmly, and his expression revealed a solemn expression.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled, followed behind him, walked into the door, and walked inside.
Passing through a screen wall with a picture of the pine crane's longevity, I turned a few times, bypassed two rockeries, passed a small garden, entered the moon gate, and suddenly opened up in front of me.
In front of me are two flat martial arts training grounds, one east and one west, paved with green bricks, clean and tidy, next to several weapon racks, on which eighteen kinds of weapons are prepared.
Behind the martial arts training ground is a large hall, which occupies a wide area, about one-third the size of the martial arts training ground.
At this time, there are dozens of people in the martial arts training field, with different movements, some are standing quietly, squinting their eyes and not moving, some are going around, as if they are walking in circles, tigers and tigers, and some are waving long knives, the sword light flashes, making a low roar, and there are practicing swords, slow and urgent, fast and slow, movement and stillness are appropriate, and you can know that it is superior swordsmanship at a glance.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced at it, smiled faintly, didn't look at it anymore, and followed the middle-aged man to step on the Baili Stone Avenue in the middle, walk through the martial arts training ground, and come to the front of the hall.
"General, Xiao Guanlan here!" the middle-aged man stopped at the door and shouted loudly.
Although he was thin and thin, he had enough energy, and his voice echoed throughout the martial arts training arena, and people stopped their movements one after another and turned their heads to look.
"Please come in, Mr. Xiao!" The hoarse voice came, but it was comfortable to listen to, which made people feel good.
"Yes, General!" The middle-aged man replied in a deep voice, turned his head to Xiao Yuesheng and said, "Mr. Xiao, my general is invited!"
Xiao Yuesheng smiled faintly: "I don't have to go in, this place is spacious, and it's best to use it for martial arts!"
The middle-aged man's face turned cold: "My general has an order, you can go in!"
Xiao Yuesheng raised her eyebrows and laughed: "This is strange, I am not from Xixia, nor am I from Yipintang, why should I listen to orders?"
"Bold!" the middle-aged man stepped forward with his knife, and his eyes burst into flames.
Xiao Yuesheng turned his back to him and laughed towards the martial arts training ground: "This is the hospitality of Xixia Yipintang?...... Haha!"
"Wei Mingyong, you stand down!" The hoarse voice came from inside, not hurried, but lingering like wolf smoke.
Xiao Yuesheng turned around and smiled slightly, this general is much stronger than Helian Tieshu, has deep internal strength, and is also a master.
Yipintang is different from other armies, but to recruit the world's martial arts masters, strange people, these people often like the courage of the horseman, courageous, fighting, want to convince them, only martial arts are better than them, power can not convince them.
Three people walked out of the hall, one in front and two in the back, in a zigzag shape.
The first person, about forty years old, was thin, pale, and his eyes were blank, and he seemed to have been ill for a long time.
However, his appearance is quite handsome, revealing a strong bookish atmosphere.
He came closer, his eyes were soft, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Mr. Xiao, his subordinates are rude, there are a lot of gentlemen, don't be surprised!"
Xiao Yuesheng clasped his fists and smiled: "Don't dare, the general is polite."
He saw that this person was talking elegantly, and his eyebrows were full of luxury, straight up to the sky, although he was sick, he couldn't be underestimated.
"I am the wisdom of the West Wall, and I am in charge of a product hall. He said with a smile, amiable, and there was no sense of murder.
"It turned out to be General Xibi!" Xiao Yuesheng hugged his fists and smiled, thinking in his mind, in his original memory, it seemed that there was no such person as Xibi Zhi, not a celebrity in Xixia.
However, Xixia is not an ordinary small country, the domestic hidden dragon and crouching tiger, not to be underestimated, at least this Xibi wisdom, the city is very deep, the means are extraordinary, and it is not an ordinary man.
The two people behind him were about thirty years old, with gray hair, as if they were less white, and they were slightly closing their eyes and holding their hands, as if they were napping.
The two of them were introverted and looked ordinary, no different from the people who were standing outside Yipintang at this time, poking their heads out and looking inside.
Xiao Yuesheng seems that these two people should be fifty or sixty years old, they have practiced the strange mental method, they can stay in the face, and their internal strength is extremely deep, like the unparalleled sword still in the sheath.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, the edge has not been tried, and no one knows whether it is in the sheath, but once it is out of the sheath, it will inevitably shine.
Xiao Yuesheng put his hand behind him and chuckled: "General Xibi, speaking of which, you also have to thank your subordinates for their help." ”
"Oh, I would like to forgive you. Xibi Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand, signaling to please say, his demeanor is excellent.
Xiao Yuesheng stroked his mustache and said with a smile: "If I hadn't killed Helian Tieshu, how would General Xibi be in charge of Yipintang?"
Two fierce and powerful swords rushed forward, like the tip of a sword of substance, and the two people behind Xibi Zhi opened their eyes violently, and their eyes were like substance, like a cold sword stabbing at them.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced at it and smiled: "If Helian Tieshu doesn't die, Yipintang won't be in charge of the general?"
"Mr. Xiao seems to have a deep understanding of my Xixia?" Xibi Zhi smiled and changed the subject.
Xiao Yuesheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "I have a grudge against your hall in Xia, so I killed Helian Tieshu to comfort my parents' spirits in the sky!"
Xibi Zhi suddenly bowed his head lightly: "I see, General Helian is brave and fearless, and he has made many enemies, which is different from this seat. ”
Xiao Yuesheng seemed to be smiling, turned his head and glanced at the people standing on the martial arts training ground, and said loudly: "I came this time, not to kill people, but to meet all the masters of Xixia Yipintang,...... Hehe, whoever enters the Yipintang, the martial arts are all the best in the world, I don't know that under the fame, it can actually match!"
His voice hovered over the martial arts training ground, condensed but not dispersed, and clearly entered everyone's ears.
The eyes of the two behind Xibi Zhi flashed and they frowned.
One of them clenched his fists and said slowly: "General, this son is arrogant and killed General Helian again, the villain is willing to play a striker and learn his tricks!"
Although he is asking for war, he is neither humble nor arrogant, his expression is calm and determined, and he is confident.
Xibi Zhi's eyes wandered, he paused on his face, and nodded slightly: "Mr. Xifeng, this Mr. Xiao is skilled in martial arts, be careful!"
"Yes, General!" the middle-aged man nodded heavily.
Xiao Yuesheng fluttered out of the way and beckoned.
The middle-aged man sneered, his eyes flashed, and he slowly drew his sword, the snow light and the flickering gaze reflected each other, and it was difficult to distinguish each other.
He toed a little, and suddenly jumped out, as fast as a white ape, and the sword light was like electricity, drawing a white rainbow, straight through Xiao Yuesheng's chest.
Xiao Yuesheng felt his killing intent, presumably it had something to do with Helian Tieshu.
deliberately said Helian Tieshu in order to stimulate their killing intent, and he also had an excuse to kill himself, although he acted freely, he didn't bother to pay attention to others.
But in the dark, there is an invisible force called the existence of the Heavenly Dao, which can judge grievances and right and wrong, and cannot be guarded against.
In the past, he didn't believe it, but since he was reincarnated in this matter, he faintly felt this power.
"Zheng-" The sword light burst out, like substance, piercing the eyes like needles, and the sword move struck head-on, letting out a low roar like a dragon's groan.
Xiao Yuesheng performed Ling Bo micro-steps, his steps were staggered, and he didn't know when he took out his sword light and turned behind the middle-aged man.
He felt keenly, not chaotic at all, the long sword flicked, twisted and slashed backwards, faster than the previous sword, if it was a sneak attack, there would be no luck.
Xiao Yuesheng's figure flashed again, and then turned behind him.
The people on the martial arts training ground gathered around, frowned, and took a deep breath.
This middle-aged man's swordsmanship is as roaring as a dragon, as fast as lightning, his moves are exquisite, and his martial arts are extremely strong, but he is helpless.
Xiao Yuesheng was like a maggot with a bone, always leaning behind him, his moves were like electricity, and his moves were exquisite to the pinnacle, but he couldn't reach him.
The sword could not fall on him, it was just in vain.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded secretly, this set of swordsmanship is really exquisite, it is rare to see, and it is not in vain, it is enough to make the Infinite Sword stronger.
