Sea Mountain Bright Moon

Chapter 12: Shadow of the Swordsman

This time, because the wind and snow subsided, and Liu Mengli's foot injury has healed a lot, she no longer needed support, but she was silent all the way, as if she was preoccupied, indifferent and alienated like when she came, Han Lingsha tied the fairy rope Binding Wang Shu Jian on his back, he followed Liu Mengli anxiously, always thinking hard about what to do after leaving.

"Lingsha," Liu Mengli, who was walking in the cobweb-covered cave and leading the way quietly in front, suddenly said.

"Huh?" Han Lingsha responded, staring at Liu Mengli's slender back in front of her, thinking that just now she had lost her spiritual energy and her body was weak, and she didn't know if she was alright now.

"You should keep this sword."

"Why!" Han Lingsha was startled, and hurriedly said, "This sword...although we discovered it together, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to find it alone, so how could I have it all to myself."

"No, Lingsha, since you promised Xiaokui to find her sister for her, you should do it," Liu Mengli said, "I think the characters engraved on the wall are cursive script, which is quite similar to the style of steles in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Xiaokui It should have been hundreds of years underground, and it is not easy to find her sister, you have traveled all over the rivers and lakes, and you have seen a lot, so it is only appropriate for you to take her to find her."

When Han Lingsha heard this, the uneasy guess in her heart was finally confirmed. She thought that Liu Mengli had already planned to part ways with Luoyan after her daughter, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. They dated until the day before yesterday when they accidentally fell into Liu Mengli's hands. From the first moment they saw her, they had a great affection for her, and they became friends with her shyly.It's just that Liu Mengli was born in an official family after all, so it's impossible to have a long-term relationship with her, a gangster like her, parting is destined, but it still feels uncomfortable thinking about it.

"Well, that's what you said," Han Lingsha forced a smile, and said, "Although I haven't read as many books as you, I have more knowledge than you. Yang, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between southeast and north, let alone find a sister for Xiaokui."

"That's why I need to trouble you with this matter. Xiaokui's background is poor, and her wish should be fulfilled for her as much as possible."

Just as she was talking, she unknowingly walked to the place where Huai Yao's corpses were piled up, and seeing the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in front of her, Han Lingsha felt even more unhappy. Seeing Liu Mengli's complexion was heavy, she knew that she still felt guilty, but she didn't know How to comfort her.

The two of them were standing between the piles of corpses, thinking about each other, silent, suddenly, a white sword light fell from the sky, falling three feet in front of the pile of corpses, barely stopped.

"what?"

I only heard a young woman's slightly surprised voice in the sword glow, and the light dissipated, and I saw a white-clothed girl stepping on a three-foot green front in mid-air, with gentle eyes, a face like a crown jade, and an orchid-like temperament. , She first looked around the cave for a week, seeing the tragic situation around her, she raised her brows slightly, and sighed, "I'm late!"

Fu set his eyes on Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli again, and moved forward with his sword, landed on the ground in front of them, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "You two girls are polite."

Han Lingsha had been dumbfounded for a long time, seeing the woman in white clothes and black hair, with an extraordinary bearing, she immediately thought that this was the legendary sword fairy, and was speechless.

"The Immortal Elder is polite," Liu Mengli returned the salute with her usual expression.

"I am ashamed to be the head of the immortal. I am just a practitioner who has learned superficial Taoism." The woman in white shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "My surname is Qin, my grass name is Xiyan, and my age should be about the same as the two of you. The disciples of the Baiqing Sect in Kunlun Mountain came to investigate because they heard that there are monsters haunting this place, but they don't know the names of the two girls, why are they here?"

Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli immediately reported their names, and only said that they came here to investigate the monsters.

"It turns out that the two girls are also righteous people." Qin Xiyan looked at the two of them with awe-inspiring expressions, and said, "It's just that I came here for another matter. I don't know that the two girls are here. Have you ever seen a woman in white clothes with a blue sword on her back?"

Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli were startled when they heard this, and after looking at each other, Liu Mengli said: "No, when we came here, this place already looked like this, and we have never seen anyone else."

Han Lingsha saw that Qin Xiyan was full of uprightness, and her attitude was gentle and amiable, which made her feel good. The awe and guard in her heart decreased a little, and she said, "Miss Qin, please forgive Lingsha for taking the liberty of not knowing that What is the relationship between this girl and you, why did you come here to find her?"

Qin Xiyan smiled slightly, and said warmly: "The girl's surname is Lu, she is a fellow practitioner I practiced with in Kunlun Mountain. The seal of the Zhenyao Pagoda was forced, and the suppressed monsters escaped one after another. Shushan issued an order widely, asking monks from all over the world to help them cut off the escaped monsters. Junior sister Lu and I were also ordered by our master to go down the mountain to eliminate the demons. We have heard from other places that there are monsters hurting people here. Junior sister Lu has always been jealous. Even if I came here, I was injured because of a powerful opponent I met earlier, so I couldn't keep up with Junior sister Lu. It took a while to rush over, now it seems... oh..."

She looked around, sighed again, and said: "I just saw the corpses of these monsters. Their teeth and hooves are different from those of carnivorous beasts. Although these monsters have evil spirits, they are not evil. I think they are some herbivores." If you are a demon, there should be other secrets when it comes to hurting people, Junior Sister Lu is kind in nature, but she has a strong temper, so she will inevitably be cruel, and it is a pity that something wrong has happened now."

Hearing Qin Xiyan explain the ins and outs of the matter, Han Lingsha felt much smoother in her heart, and saw that Qin Xiyan seemed to be quite sympathetic to these dead monsters, and she was resentful towards the sword fairy who killed the Huai monsters before. It also disappeared a lot, and looking at Liu Mengli again, she still had a calm and indifferent expression, and I don't know if she felt better in her heart.

Liu Mengli's eyes were dark, she looked at Qin Xiyan and said, "Miss Qin is a practitioner, and she should take it as her duty to eliminate demons and protect the way. Since monsters are monsters, will Miss Qin feel pity for monsters?"

"Miss Liu's words are wrong." Qin Xiyan looked at Liu Mengli and said seriously: "My teacher always said that in this world, everything is created equal, people have spirits, monsters also have spirits, and people are good or bad. , There are good and bad monsters, and we can't generalize them. People have no right to judge the life and death of monsters without authorization. Underground, they feed on plants, although they do things that hurt people, there must be a reason for it, and if they suffer the crime of extermination because of this, it is too much, and when I catch up with Junior Sister Lu, I will definitely warn her."

Hearing this, Liu Mengli's expression softened a lot, and she said softly: "What Miss Qin said is true, Mengli made a slip of the tongue just now, so I apologize to you here."

"No, although what Miss Liu said has changed, it is not a fault, why should I apologize to you!" Qin Xiyan hurriedly said.

"It's just that Mengli thinks that Miss Qin's master's views are extraordinary and refined, far superior to ordinary people who seek fame and fame, and Miss Qin is also very generous, and she must respect the teacher and teach well. I don't know who is the master?"

"Miss Liu is absurd." Qin Xiyan smiled when she heard the words, and said: "The teacher is the master of the Baiqing sect, Fei Yue."

"Feiyue!!!" Han Lingsha couldn't help shouting, "Master Feiyue, Sword Immortal!!!"

"Exactly," Qin Xiyan said with an even more humble expression, "Miss Han knows the tutor?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary person, how could I have the good fortune to know Master Feiyue," Han Lingsha shook her head, and said, "However, among the warriors and cultivators in the world, who doesn't know the name of Sword Immortal? Although there are many sword celestial beings in the world, Fei Yue is the only one who can reach the pinnacle and be considered a master."

Qin Xiyan still said humbly: "Miss Han praised you absurdly. My teacher always said that there is no limit to the way of heaven, and there are peaks."

Han Lingsha just shook her head, but looked at Qin Xiyan with a little more solemnity and admiration.

Liu Mengli said: "Although I have never met Master Feiyue, but after hearing Miss Qin's words and looking at Miss Qin's words and deeds, I can see that the master's demeanor is definitely not false. Miss Qin must not be modest."

"Don't dare, Miss Liu's words, it's a shame."

"By the way, there is nothing else going on here now, what is Miss Qin's plan?"

"Junior Sister Lu has left now, I have to catch up with her quickly, in case she encounters our formidable opponent and cannot stand alone." Qin Xiyan said.

"That's Mengli wasting Miss Qin's time."

"It's okay, now that I'm recovering from my injury, I can control my sword with Qi. Even if I travel thousands of miles, it's just a blink of an eye." Qin Xiyan shook her head, then turned to Han Lingsha, and said, "Miss Han, please forgive me. Let me take the liberty, I look at the sword on the girl's back, its shape is quite strange, and it is full of spiritual energy, I am not sure if I can borrow it next time?"

"Ah, this sword..." Han Lingsha responded, and looked at Liu Mengli with a little hesitation. Seeing her nod her head slightly, she nodded, "Yes, you can take a look."

After finishing speaking, he untied the Wangshu sword from his back and handed it to Qin Xiyan.

"Thank you."

Qin Xiyan took the Wangshu sword, without saying much, she rubbed it in her hand and looked at it carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking, with a very focused expression.

"Miss Qin..." Seeing that Qin Xiyan hadn't spoken for a long time, Han Lingsha couldn't help but said, "To tell you the truth, we just picked up this sword in the depths of this cave, and we don't know what it is. What kind of strange sword is it, Miss Qin may see the clue."

"I'm really ashamed. I have been under my teacher's door for many years, but my master's unique swordsmanship has only scratched the surface." Qin Xiyan shook her head, handed the sword back to Han Lingsha, and said with a look of shame on her face: "It's just that this sword is not a sword. Jin Feiyu, the forging method is also different from ordinary swords. When I touch this sword, I can also feel that there are dead souls sleeping in the sword. I think it must be extraordinary. Although I can’t see the origin of this sword, I have a word, I don’t know Whether to speak properly or not."

Liu Mengli immediately said: "Miss Qin, please tell me."

Qin Xiyan stared at Han Lingsha, and said: "If I'm not mistaken... this Miss Han is full of energy but weak in spirit, she should be a martial artist rather than a practitioner?"

Han Lingsha smiled and said: "That's right, I just said that I am an ordinary person."

"That's it. This sword is very cold. Women's nature is cold, and Miss Han is not a cultivator. If you carry this sword for a long time, you may be corroded by the cold air and damage your tendons."

"Eh?" Han Lingsha was startled.

"How could this happen!" Liu Mengli said beforehand: "Then Miss Qin has a solution?"

Qin Xiyan frowned and said: "I originally wanted to seal this sword with my own body to suppress the cold air in the sword, but when I was looking at the sword just now, I poured my true energy into the sword, and undoubtedly touched the souls of the dead who died in the sword. She still has her wish unfulfilled, if I seal this sword without authorization, the soul in the sword will not be able to wake up."

"Then... is there no other way?" Liu Mengli glanced at Han Lingsha, stretched out her hand, and said, "Since that's the case, Lingsha, give me the sword first."

"No." Han Lingsha shrank back and said, "I'm a girl, so you're not? I'm in good health, so I'm not afraid."

"No, Miss Han, although your body is healthy because of martial arts, if you are eroded by sword energy, you may not be able to resist it," Qin Xiyan said: "Although Miss Liu is not a martial artist, she has aura Energetic and pure in physique, if you carry this sword with you, it will be fine for a while."

Han Lingsha didn't want to let go, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You also said that it's just a moment."

"Lingsha!" Liu Mengli had no choice but to look at Han Lingsha helplessly, her eyes full of reproach.

"Because there is a compromise here." Qin Xiyan smiled slightly, took out a thin booklet from her bosom, and said: "There is a secret book of teaching cultivation methods here. It was written by my teacher when I was young, and it is most suitable for those who have no foundation to practice. If Miss Han doesn't dislike it, you might as well practice according to the method in the book, and breathe it out in the morning and evening, and you can also resist the invasion of the cold air of this sword."

"Really?!" Han Lingsha was overjoyed when she heard the words. Master Jianxian Feiyue hand-written the secret book, which is a treasure that can't be found, but the edge of the thin book in Qin Xiyan's hand was slightly yellowed, but it was still smooth. Neat, presumably Qin Xiyan loves her very much, so she hesitated: "But this is what Master Feiyue wrote for Miss Qin..."

"It doesn't matter who you write for, what matters is why you use it," Qin Xiyan said seriously: "If this book can help Miss Han, then what about you."

"Lingsha, it's Miss Qin's kindness, so you can accept it," Liu Mengli also said, "I believe that if Master Fei Yue is here, he will also approve of Miss Qin's actions."

Seeing Liu Mengli speak for herself like this, Han Lingsha felt grateful for a moment, and stopped hesitating, took the cheat book, and said: "Then...thank you, Miss Qin."

Liu Mengli also said: "Miss Qin, we just met by chance and our fate is superficial, but I am indebted to you for your kindness. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Meeting is fate, what is the relationship between deep and shallow?" Qin Xiyan said with a smile: "Although I met you two for the first time, I feel that the two of you have extraordinary bearing and a chivalrous heart, so you must be an extraordinary person. I can't help talking with you two for a long time, if you two are interested in seeking immortals and Taoism in the future, why not come to the Baiqing School of Kunlun Mountain, and I will treat you with great hospitality."

"That's natural!" Han Lingsha smiled and said, "I'm free and envious of those worldly experts. If there is a destiny in the future, I will definitely visit Miss Qin and Master Feiyue."

"It's settled over there," Qin Xiyan smiled heartily, clasped her fists in a salute, and said, "I had a great conversation with the two of you today, but it's a pity that I still have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay for long. If we meet again in the future, I must have a good time with the two of you, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli knew that Qin Xiyan still cared about her Junior Sister Lu, so they didn't want to keep her, they all nodded and said: "Definitely."

Qin Xiyan withdrew her hand, and said again: "The journey outside is difficult, I see that Miss Liu is injured and cannot move, so let me help you two."

After finishing speaking, he made a sword finger with one hand and swiped on the spot, a white sword energy lifted Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha up.

"Hold on tight, both of you." Qin Xiyan smiled again, and rose into the air. Seeing Han Lingsha hugging Liu Mengli's waist in an instant, she nodded to herself, raised her sword finger, and the white sword light shot into the sky Then he got up, brought the two of them with him, and roared towards the top of his head.
