Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 164 A Desperate Fight
There are seventeen towns and one county seat in Lingzhou.
The county seat is close to the northwest, and there are three towns on the opposite side of it, one is called Yumen Town, which is further north of it, and the town that separates the county town from Zhongzhou is called Yumen Town, and the town to the west of it is called Anren Town, and the last one is on its east side, called Jinxi Town.
There are only thirteen townships in Jinxi Town, which is the smallest number of all towns in Lingzhou, and naturally its geographical area is also the smallest, but this town is of great significance to Xu Yan, because its hometown Xujia Village is Baoxi Township in Jinxi Town.
More than three months have passed since leaving Wuyang Town, and the time has also reached midwinter from the middle of Mengqiu to the approaching midwinter.
Midwinter is November, so it is also called the winter moon, the temperature in the early days is already very cold, but it is good in the Lingzhou area, because it is much higher than the more northern Zhongzhou, the temperature is much higher, it is expected that in the Yong'an City of Zhongzhou, the snow is probably already fluttering at this moment, however, in the northern region of Lingzhou, the winter moon will not snow, only after entering the wax moon, it is possible to drift snow.
But it's one thing not to snow, but in the early morning, everything on the earth is covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost.
The time is close to the hour of the hour.
The morning sun dewed from the top of the mountain in the east, and the orange sun quickly melted the white frost layer when it hit the earth, but because of this, countless cold air rose from the ground, making people shiver.
However, this cold is naturally not enough for Xu Yan, after all, when he was in the Lotus Sect, he could come and go freely on the main peak at an altitude of thousands of zhang.
Xu Yan still kept getting up early every day to hurry, but he no longer rode a horse, because the horse he had snatched from Du Feiyun had been given to a villager who had kindly taken him in for a cold night in a small village five days ago.
The reason why he did this was naturally to show his gratitude to that kind man, and besides, he was about to walk out of the mountains and rivers and into the range of Jinxi Town, and he was really not far from his hometown, so it was better to leave it to the person who needed horses more than him.
Looking at the wide fork in front of him, Xu Yan sighed softly, after passing through here, even if he really entered the area of Jinxi Town, this is a concentrated fork in many intersections, to the west is Wangchuan City, and then to the north is Jinxi Town.
On this fork, there is also a sake shop, but like most sake shops, breakfast is not included here.
So, Xu Yan didn't stop here, and went directly through the fork and headed north.
After entering the area of Jinxi Town, Xu Yan didn't feel the situation like Gu Xueqing at that time, Xu was not impressed enough by Xujia Village, the reason why he knew this was after inheriting the original memory, otherwise he wouldn't have to make a detour here at all.
Xujia Village is established in the northernmost mountains and rivers of Jinxi Town, it can be said that from the Lotus Sect of the Hundred Mountains Ancestor to Xujia Village, it is basically a straight line from south to north, and this straight line is undoubtedly the longest among all the disciples, of course, Xu Hui and Xu Yan are from Xujia Village.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Yan finally came to the town of Jinxi Town, which is a town that is almost the same as Songyang Town in terms of prosperity, so the scale and area are not too large.
Xu Yan found a noodle restaurant and ate two large bowls of noodles, which is an authentic taste of his hometown, better than the Tujia dishes he had eaten along the way before, and the local dishes in various places, all of which made him feel cordial.
Originally, Xu Yan thought that he should not feel this way, but in the end, he was wrong, because the nostalgia and nostalgia for the past carried by this body still rolled after the noodle and noodle soup were in the mouth.
It's a taste he can't forget.
After eating the pasta, Xu Yan didn't rush to the road immediately, because after leaving from here, he would still choose to take the remote mountain road, and probably wouldn't pass through any roads and other markets, after all, he hadn't encountered any interceptions for three months, but he didn't want to encounter this kind of disappointment in this last journey.
Xu Yan went to the bustling section of the city, bought a lot of daily necessities, and at the same time bought a lot of alcohol in the wine shop, and then went to the tobacco shop, as well as the shop that sold incense paper candles, Lin Lin spent a total of almost ten taels of silver before stopping.
These things are a must-buy for him, some of them for his own needs, but more for giving them away.
After purchasing all the necessities, Xu Yan once again confirmed in his mind that he had not missed anything, and then began to walk towards the north gate of the town.
As everyone knows, as soon as he walked on his front foot, and his back foot was at the south gate of the town, someone rode a horse and came to the city.
The rider did not linger long, but bought some light food in the city to satisfy his hunger, and continued on his way towards the north.
He didn't know where the young man he was about to kill had been, or if he was dead or alive, but one thing he knew was that he knew the young man's hometown, thanks to the fact that his eldest son had paid attention to the young man's specific information when he was in the sect.
"Even if your parents are no longer alive, I think you will take this opportunity to go back, I don't believe that others can't find out your whereabouts, I will go to your hometown and wait, but I can't wait for you. β
After buying the dry rations, the rider turned over on his horse again with a mutter, and then chased after him to the north. And just after he rode away, behind him, another middle-aged man came to the city, and the middle-aged man looked at the person who rode away, his face was expressionless, and he just followed the other party tightly and went north together.
Out of Jinxi Town, Xu Yan no longer needs to look at the map to walk, although he has not been back for more than three years, but the road from Xujia Village to Zhencheng, he still remembers.
From the town to Xujia Village, if you walk alone, the distance is about ten days, and there are two townships in between, but because Xu Yan is walking on a small road in the mountains, it is naturally shortened compared to taking the big road, and it only takes eight days to reach it.
Xu Yan has walked this road more than once before, but the most recent one was more than three years ago, it was the road he took when he went to the Lotus Sect, and it can even be said that in addition to going to Yumen Town next door (because he can go over the mountain), in fact, no matter where Xujia Village goes, he must pass through this mountain road, Xu Yan is naturally very familiar.
But before he could leave the main road of Jinxi Town, and branched off to the side road, there was a galloping horse's hoofs behind him.
Xu Yan heard this sound, he didn't worry too much and was jealous, he didn't even look back, the pedestrians on the road were coming and going, and he hadn't met the person who jumped out halfway for more than three months, he didn't believe that his luck would be so bad, and he would encounter this kind of bad thing not far from his hometown.
The result seemed to be just as he had imagined, and the galloping horse behind him passed directly sideways and continued northward, while the man riding the horse did not even turn his head.
"I hope I can reach Xujia Village safely!" Xu Yan thought in his heart, but just as he walked out for about four or five miles and was about to turn into the path, he saw that not far ahead, the person who was riding a horse before had stopped at this moment, and turned the horse's head, as if he was waiting for him.
This scene is similar to He Zeng when he met Du Feiyun three months ago, but the aura exuded by the person in front of him is far from being comparable to Du Feiyun, and even the other party gave Xu Yan a kind of breath, which is very similar to the aura on Aunt Yin's mother-in-law.
Sitting on horseback was a middle-aged man, his face looked very calm, and at the same time, he also had a luxurious air on him, obviously not an ordinary person.
The middle-aged man watched Xu Yan approach step by step, and when he was only a dozen steps away from him, he asked in a deep voice: "This young man, I don't know which way to go to Xujia Village?"
Xu Yan heard that the other party stopped to ask him for directions, but the tense vigilance in his heart did not relax in the slightest, he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "I don't know which Xujia Village Your Excellency is going to?"
For example, Xujia Village, where Xu Yan is located, is in Baoxi Township, and the other Xujia Village is in Daping Township, and the two Xujia Villages are far apart, and it is difficult to walk to them without four or five days.
After hearing this question, the middle-aged man sitting on horseback replied directly without thinking: "That Xujia Village in Baoxi Township." β
After Xu Yan heard this answer, he immediately shook his head calmly, and replied apologetically: "I have never been to Xujia Village in Baoxi Township, I heard that it is very remote, but I don't know how to go, I don't know how to hide it, I am from Daping Township." β
The middle-aged man on horseback saw that the other party did not have the slightest emotional reaction at all after hearing that he had proposed Xujia Village in Baoxi Township, and he couldn't help but secretly think that it should not be this person, but although he thought so in his heart, his eyes kept wandering on Xu Yan, because he wanted to see if there were any objects related to cultivators on this young man.
Along the way, in order to hide people's eyes, Xu Yan even disguised his own appearance, and naturally it was impossible to hang the storage bag on his waist for people to see, so in the end, after the man looked at it for a while, he stopped continuing to check, and then saw him turn his head with the reins of his horse, and wanted to choose a fork in the road to continue to the north.
When Xu Yan saw this, he remained silent, but just as the man turned the horse's head, he saw a familiar object hanging on the other party's saddle, which couldn't help but shock his heart.
It's not a very unique object, but it's certainly worth a lot of money, because it's a delicate and gorgeous saber.
"I didn't expect this sword to be on this person, it seems that he should have come to me on this trip, but looking at his face, it should be almost more than forty, could it be that person's father? If this is the case, then it is really a small one and a big one, but this person's body is so strong, it is very likely that he has stepped into the seventh floor, such a master, I don't have the certainty of victory now, I can only endure it first." After Xu Yan saw the saber, a trace of jealousy finally flashed in his deep eyes, and he thought of it in his heart.
However, at the same time as Xu Yan thought so, the middle-aged man who was already turning his horse's head with his back to Xu Yan suddenly flashed a trace of killing intent in his eyes, and then saw him make a sword with two fingers and wave his hand, and the saber hanging on his saddle was automatically unsheathed, and a beautiful arc was drawn in mid-air, stabbing straight at Xu Yan not far behind him, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at the latter's eyebrows.
When Xu Yan saw the opponent's sword killing, it was impossible for him to let the other party kill him, and when he stepped on one foot, he drove his entire body to turn violently and avoided this sword.
Seeing that his sword was avoided by the other party, the middle-aged man jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to control the flying sword and fell back into his hand, and said coldly: "Sure enough, it's you, Xu Yan, you disappeared for more than three months before, but I want to find it easily, but I want to see where you can run today!"
Xu Yan was not surprised at all when he heard the other party call out his name, because he also relied on the "Yandang" in the other party's hand and recognized the latter's identity, if there was no accident, this person was the father of Li Ku and Li Zifan. And not only that, combined with the word "Li" revealed by the three sect masters of the Danxia Sect before he died, he could even vaguely deduce that it should be this person who asked the three fools of the Danxia Sect to go to Songyang Town to intercept and kill him.
I have to say that this person wants to kill him, and he is really a little impatient.
Xu Yan never thought that he was going to escape, when the battle came, his only thought was to fight, but the strength of the other party was really unfathomable, although he was already able to determine that this person had not really stepped into the seven-story building, but the other party was too close to the seven-story building, which should be between him and the Gao Yuan who had seriously injured Xu Yan and was in a coma for five days.
Facing such a strong enemy again, Xu Yan said that it was impossible not to worry, after all, there were only two sword qi left in his body that were handed over to him by Zhao Bailian, and these sword qi could be said to be his biggest hole cards so far, and if he could keep it, he naturally had to keep it as much as possible.
Xu Yan replied coldly: "It seems that leaving the lives of your two second sons is simply redundant. β
Seeing that the other party directly admitted his true identity in front of him, Li Yang suddenly became angry in his heart, and at the same time, this also made him not want to say anything to Xu Yan anymore, but just wanted to end his life quickly.
So, after Li Yang just yelled at Xu Yan angrily, "Death to the erection", his figure instantly shot out from the spot.
Seeing Li Yang killing with a sword, Xu Yan didn't dare to take it hard, and immediately flew out backwards.
However, Li Yang, who had already made up his mind to kill, would give him a chance to blindly dodge, and directly with a fierce sword aura, layer by layer like a rolling wave, constantly surging towards Xu Yan.
Xu Yan is very familiar with the set of sword tricks displayed on the other party's body at this moment, which is the set of flying goose sword tricks that Li Ku used when he fought against him at the beginning, and even Xu Yan stole a few of the sword tricks from it, but compared to Li Yang in front of him, there is no doubt that whether it is Li Ku at that time, or he only steals a rough half-trick from the essence of his sword moves, it cannot be compared with it.
"The wild goose returns south!"
After using six sword moves in a row but still couldn't hurt Xu Yan, Li Yang couldn't help but shout, at this moment, the anger in his heart could be imagined, because he felt that Xu Yan seemed to know this set of sword tricks in his hand very well, and after each sword swing he slashed, he made a warning in advance and avoided it smoothly.
However, after Li Yang shouted angrily and used the seventh form of the Flying Goose Sword Technique, a white cold light burst out from the wild goose swing in his hand.
Han Mang is both sword energy.
Yao Yao slashed towards Xu Yan, who was passively dodging the sword move on the opposite side.
This sword, as fast as thunder and lightning, is fleeting in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, as a last resort, Xu Yan, who had no way to retreat, could only immediately control the martial arts true qi in his body, and all of them condensed in front of him to form a golden light shield to resist in front of him.
Boom!
The sword qi was like a long rainbow, directly slashing at Xu Yan's martial arts true qi, and then swept his body upside down for more than ten zhang.
The golden light in the sky was completely blown away by Li Yang's piece, turning into countless stars and dissipating.
Li Yang saw that the other party was able to successfully resist his sword but was not injured, but he was slightly embarrassed, and the shock in his heart can be imagined, which is completely inconsistent with the information that his two sons told him before, so Li Yang couldn't help but feel both indignant at the moment, but he also exclaimed and said: "I didn't expect your cultivation to skyrocket so fast, no wonder the people I sent out before can't do anything about you, it seems that I gave you a head for nothing." β
Xu Yan didn't feel that this kind of exaggeration from the other party was something to be happy about, on the contrary, the reason why the other party said this was because he really recognized his strength, and it was impossible to underestimate him anymore.
Seeing that Xu Yan always remained silent, the killing intent in Li Yang's eyes couldn't help but become more and more intense, he knew that if he couldn't kill the other party this time, then he would never have any chance in the future.
"Give me death!"
Li Yang shouted again, and then, his whole person, together with the three-foot long sword in his hand, quickly killed Xu Yan.
Xu Yan saw that the other party used the last form of the flying goose sword technique, "Flying Goose Silent" , The color of jealousy in his eyes has also reached the apex, there is no doubt that the power of his sword has really touched the threshold of the upper three realms, Caesar's lesson plan courseware opens nineteen nineteen is visible whether it will be restored pepper and additional symbols low-poly protective clothing korea i amplitude division hi airplane sa reply to return to the retro style reply to i when calling for reading the speed of the localized book pile interactive activity room ah u de has the speed of the words of the aso and the words of the asu seem to return to the dormitory speed tree hole tree hole reading cost and speed speed nurse words of ha scholarγ
