Excalibur

On the fifth day of October, at Nie's house in Jicheng.

Nie Ju has traveled all over the world for many years, he is quite famous, and on his birthday, many fellow martial artists came to congratulate him, and there was a huge crowd at once.

The Nies and his wife were overwhelmed with guests coming and going in the front yard, but their only daughter, Mu Yun, was guarding the back door, looking forward to it.

Near noon, a young monk in monk's robes was helping a white-haired young man walking slowly. Nie Muyun saw it from a distance, and immediately trotted to the two of them.

"Cousin Ye Qian!"

"Hey." The white-haired youth—Ye Qian responded, and raised his hand for Nie Muyun to hold.

Reunited after a long absence, Nie Muyun couldn't help but take a closer look at this cousin who grew up together. His appearance was not much different from what he remembered, except that his hair was all white, and his eyes, which were bright in the past, were also dimmed due to blindness.

She couldn't help having a sore nose and almost shed tears.

"The benefactor..." The little monk was a little at a loss.

"I was so excited that I made my little master laugh." Nie Muyun blinked, "Master Huikong, right? Thank you Shaolin for taking care of my cousin these years."

"Where is that?" Hui Kong scratched his head with the hand that was not supporting Ye Qian, "Senior Brother Huiping takes care of Ah Qian more..."

"That's right," Ye Qian cut off the conversation, "You were mainly taught by me, but you still haven't improved in your martial arts."

"Ash!"

"Okay, okay," Nie Muyun couldn't help laughing seeing his cousin's personality as before, "It's not early, you must be tired after coming all the way, go in and rest." Helping Ye Qian, "Auntie seems to be listening I understand that you are coming back, and my spirit has improved a lot in the past few days."

Ye Qian's expression froze, she stopped talking, and was supported by two people into the mansion.

Nie Ju and his wife had to send someone to report, so they immediately withdrew and went to the inner room.Seeing Ye Qian's hair full of hair at such a young age, Nie Yun couldn't help but feel distressed, and ordered someone to invite Ye Qian's biological mother, Zi Niang, while urging her husband to get a pulse.

"Alright, madam, don't worry." Nie Ju comforted his wife a little, and helped Ye Qian to sit on the couch. He was about to feel his pulse, but Ye Qian stopped him suddenly.

"There's someone in the room!" Ye Qian lowered her voice and frowned.

Nie Ju was startled, he listened carefully, and he really noticed someone.It's just that no one of the guests acted like this, and he never had any grudges with anyone. Who is lurking on the roof?

Nie Ju straightened up and said loudly, "Friends in the room, can you come out and see me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the tiles fall, the man jumped out of the room and opened the door and entered, glanced at the untouched teacup on the table, and then at Ye Qian who was sitting upright, before asking in surprise, "Zhier?"

Ye Qian stood up suddenly, almost thinking that she heard the voice wrongly, "Yan Qing?"

"Yanqing? Xiao Yanqing?!" Nie Muyun remembered what was said in the family letter, and stabbed at him like a sharp sword.

The man's neck shrank when he was watched, "Yes, it's me... I'm here to report! The Nine Luo God Sect is coming to sneak attack!"

Nie Yun was shocked when he heard the words, the Nine Luo God Sect is a demon sect, it has done many bloody cases, and it was only suppressed by the decent parties a few years ago, how could it be...

Nie Ju's expression remained unchanged, he protected Ye Qian and the others behind him, and asked, "Where did you get the news from?"

If he remembered correctly, this person was wearing the clothes of the Jiuluo God Sect Tutang.

"Uncle," Ye Qian tugged at his clothes lightly, "Yanqing's family was killed by the Jiuluo Sect..."

"That's right!" Xiao Yanqing seemed to have come to his senses, "I have been undercover in the Devil's Cult for many years in order to take revenge, and this news is what the Hall Master said, it is absolutely true!"

"Do you know the reason, the number of people and the specific time?"

"Move out in full force," Xiao Yanqing resolutely said, "People are already on their way here, so I have the opportunity to come out and report the news because I postponed the mission on the pretext of being sick."

"That's it..." Even with Ye Qian's relationship, Nie Ju didn't fully believe what Xiao Yanqing said, but the matter was important and he had to guard against it.

"Muyun, take Aqian and little master Huikong, Madam, to pick up Ziniang. You go through the secret path, and I'll be there soon."

"But..." Ye Qian was anxious to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yanqing.

"Let's go, no matter how late it is, it's too late, and I have to go back as soon as possible, so as not to miss the show."

Nie Muyun and Hui Kong looked at each other, they couldn't help but pick up Ye Qian and left, Nie Yunshi also left in a hurry, Xiao Yanqing also left.

Nie Ju walked quickly to the front hall, where all the guests were drinking and chatting, seeing him coming, they all toasted to celebrate.

"Everyone!" Nie Ju said loudly, "I just got the news that the Nine Luo Demon Sect is coming to my Nie's house soon, and a fierce fight is inevitable. Please leave quickly!"

Immediately, several people got up and left the table, and some heroes who were not afraid of the devil's religion shouted: "What are you afraid of him! We were planning to discuss how to deal with them, and it happened to be delivered to our door. Heroes from all walks of life are here, so there is nothing to be afraid of. !"

"Well said!" Someone at the table agreed, it was Shi Liangquan, the head of Qingcheng, "Since the Demon Sect is coming soon, then I, Qingcheng, will be the vanguard, please don't compete with me." After finishing speaking, wait Nie Ju replied, and left in a hurry with his disciples.

"Master, it's just us..." As soon as he left the gate of Nie's house, a disciple of Qingcheng hurriedly said.

"Bah!" Shi Liangquan spat at the man, "I can't turn this corner, so hurry up!"

"Oh yes, yes."

Not long after, the members of the Jiuluo Sect broke in. The leader was a tall man with profound facial features, and the other was a little smaller than him, with a relaxed expression, as if he was visiting the neighbor's house.

The little man looked at the people present, and finally looked at Nie Ju.

"Where's the Dusk Sword?" Without detours, he went straight to the point.

Nie Ju didn't realize how surprised this was. Muyun and the others should have entered the secret path after time, but Nie Yun might not have entered yet.Seeing the members of the Jiuluo Sect fighting against fellow martial artists, he didn't talk nonsense, and he used his skills to match the two leaders.

On the other side, the three of Ye Qian walked along the secret road for a full stick of incense before seeing the sun again. Hui Kong took a closer look and found that they were already deep in the mountains.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk. This secret road was originally built for the convenience of entering the mountain to collect medicine." Nie Muyun explained.

The three of them waited while worrying about the Nie family. It stands to reason that Nie Yunshi would come to join them soon after picking up Nie Ziniang, but there was no movement from the secret path.Nie Muyun became more and more uneasy, and paced back and forth with his handkerchief twisted, but there was nothing he could do.

After half a stick of incense passed by, Ye Qian reached out to stop the cousin who kept walking, and said solemnly: "Let's go back."

"Ah?" Although Nie Muyun also wanted to do this, he subconsciously objected, "No, it's too dangerous!"

Huikong also disagrees.

Ye Qian said, "I know you are obsessed with medical skills, your martial arts are too weak, and Huikong's kung fu is not good. It's really not wise to go back, but it's not an option for us to wait here. You two will hide in a while." In the secret passage, I can go out alone," he said again, "Don't worry, although I can't see, my hearing is very good, if there is any danger, I will take care of it."

The two couldn't hold on, so they had to agree.

Returning along the secret path, Ye Qian listened for a while, and asked Nie Muyun and Huikong to wait inside, and then groped out of the secret path.

As soon as I came out, I smelled the smell of burnt wood, and the air didn't seem clean.Ye Qian sniffed carefully, and seemed to smell the smell of barbecue.

His complexion changed slightly. After confirming that there was no one around, Ye Qian thought twice, and finally called out Nie Muyun and the others.

The fire in Nie's mansion was raging, and as soon as Nie Muyun came out and saw a sea of ​​flames, he ran in, and Huikong followed closely behind, pulling Ye Qian.

"Mother! Auntie!" Running into the backyard, she saw Nie Yunshi and Nie Ziniang, both of them lying in a pool of blood, with several servants lying around them, all of them had lost their breath.

Nie Muyun rushed to the side of the corpse, crying bitterly.Ye Qian came in afterward, and when she heard the cry, she paused, not daring to go any further.

"Ah Qian..." Huikong looked at him worriedly as he felt that the hand he was holding suddenly increased a bit.

Letting the tears flow from his eyes, Ye Qian took a deep breath and told himself to calm down, "I'm fine," he squeezed Hui Kong's hand, "Go and see if there are any survivors."

"Okay..." Hui Kong let go of his holding hand, walked a few steps and turned back, "I'll be right back."

"Go, be safe."

Ye Qian sniffled, and was about to step forward to comfort Nie Muyun, but heard the clink of rings and the sound of a hidden weapon piercing behind him.

Not daring to hesitate, Ye Qian drew out the soft sword at his waist, turned around and knocked out the hidden weapon, and pulled Nie Muyun up to protect him behind his back.

"Bells?" Nie Muyun couldn't help being suspicious when he saw that the hidden weapon was different from ordinary ones, it was just three ordinary bells.

Hui Kong, who hadn't gone far, heard the movement and ran back, and saw a man with a string of bells hanging from his waist and a woman dressed in Miao ethnicity confronting Ye Qian, and many people appeared outside the courtyard, all dressed as before to report The same as Xiao Yanqing.

"Look, Holly, isn't that the Moon Sword?" The Miao girl covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect to find it so easily. It really fits the saying 'Nowhere to find when you step through the iron shoes'."

The man named Dongqing didn't answer, his face was gloomy as if dripping water, but Ye Qian heard the woman's words in his heart.These people seem to be coveting the Moon Sword?

So, do they only want the Moon Sword, or do they also want the Uncle's Dusk Sword...

"Who are you guys!" Nie Muyun asked aloud, although she had already guessed a little bit and restrained herself desperately, she still couldn't help asking.

"Of course—" the woman chuckled, "He was the one who killed your whole family!"

'you! Nie Muyun clenched his fists tightly to prevent himself from moving, his nails pierced deeply into the palm of his hand.Her martial arts are not strong, and her impulsiveness at this time will only hurt her cousin and Hui Kong.

Dongqing didn't want to say more, she reached out and took three bells from her waist, pinched them in the shape of "pin" in her hands, channeled her inner strength, and hit Ye Qian.

Ye Qian pushed Nie Muyun towards Huikong, knocked down the bell with his sword, heard the sound of the Miaonu's silver jewelry colliding to judge its position, and stabbed with his sword again. Get entangled with Huikong.

The Jiuluo God Sect has many people, and although Ye Qian's one-to-one enemy and two do not lose the wind, it is still not a long-term strategy. Who knows if the Demon Sect will come again, the best choice is to get out early.

It's just that Dongqing and the two clung to him very tightly, and Huikong and Huikong were not very good at martial arts, and it was already very difficult to deal with many minions, let alone get out.

There was a stalemate.In order to break the deadlock and get out as soon as possible, Ye Qian resolutely made a killing move. With a flash of the sword in his right hand, he summoned up his internal strength with his left hand, and slapped Dongqing with a single palm.Seeing this, Dongqing turned her feet, although she avoided the blow, she was still affected by the palm wind, and blood spurted out of her mouth immediately.

When the Miao girl saw it, she immediately jumped back and distanced herself from Ye Qian. The hidden weapon in her hand was already flying towards Nie Muyun.The voice naturally fell into Ye Qian's ears, but the needle was too fast, he couldn't knock it off with the sword, and it might be too late to remind him.

The danger was close at hand, Ye Qian strode forward, blocked the hidden weapon with his body, the flying needle pierced his right shoulder, and the arm holding the sword was more than half numb immediately.

"Tch." Dongqing snorted coldly in her heart. He has always looked down on this kind of behavior of protecting others from injury. The weak should be allowed to perish, so why bother the strong.But no matter what he thought in his heart, he didn't hesitate, the fine lock on his wrist whizzed out, wrapped around Ye Qian's waist in an instant, and pulled hard, pulling the poisoned Ye Qian over.

Seizing the sword and carrying the person, Dongqing ignored the others and left with lightness kung fu.Seeing this, the Miao girl sighed and ordered her men to retreat.

"cousin!"
