【Xie Li】Si Duan Jin

The Chunyang Palace, built on the southern peak of Huashan Mountain, is built close to the mountain, with the eaves flying into the sky.Surrounded by pine trees and clouds all the year round, the mountain gate is hidden in a snowy mist, Chunyang can't help pilgrims, and there is an incense temple next to the mountain gate for worshiping the statues of the three kings.Huashan is so high and steep that ordinary people are afraid.If a person who is devoted to Taoism wants to go to Chunyang Palace, or to pay respects to his fellow martial artists, he will be able to climb a thousand steps by himself after getting the Jade Letter.Regardless of whether Shangguan Boyu was picked up at the mountain gate by the sweeping Taoist back then, or Lu Zu picked up Yu Rui here by accident, it was a rare chance in the dark.

The mountain gate is majestic and solemn, guarded and guarded by disciples of Chongxu and Yuxu.Yuxu's disciple is under the head teacher Li Wangsheng.Chongxu is a disciple of the elite martial arts of the Six Meridians.The disciple of Chongxu who is in charge of duty today was once Zixu real person Qi Jinmen.It has been more than ten years since Qi Jin abandoned his body and dust, and attained the Tao.The life of sword companion Sizhong washed Qi Jin's once turbid blood, and made him stand out even more sharply.The other disciples all know that Master Xie Zixu has a severe temper, aloof and stern, and from time to time he reprimands and reprimands the juniors.But the disciples know that the master hates evil like an enemy, fears it and respects it at the same time, and will spare no effort to do whatever he asks.

Today when Qi Jin visited the Heavenly Ladder, he suddenly felt a sword intent soaring to the sky not far from the mountain gate. He pressed the sword and jumped up, using the ladder cloud lightness skill to leap up, and it arrived in a moment.When Qi Jin was about to fall, sharp-eyed disciples of Chongxu rushed to report: a black-clothed Jianghu man came to the mountain gate, and none of the guarding disciples were opponents. When Qi Jin heard this, his eyes were as cold as ice. Go back in the direction of the sword energy.

Beside the door were the disciples of Chunyang, holding their swords and looking up vigilantly. When they saw Qi Jin, they were all pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Qi is here!"

In the wind and snow, Qi Jin saw a lone figure standing on the corner of the eaves of Chunyang Mountain Gate, like an ink sculpture facing the wind, holding a fresh broken branch from the top of the nearby tree in his hand.The outline is deep, the face is stern, and the tips of the hair are covered with white stars.The whole body is like ice.Qi Jin could discern that the man's skill was profound, even higher than his own, but he was a very strong and brave person, not only did he not have the slightest intention of retreating, but on the contrary he was full of fighting spirit.The long sword was unsheathed suddenly, the inner strength was surging, and the purple energy was radiant, saying:

"Where is the madman, dare to disturb Chunyang? Report your name!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt the man's needle-like gaze fixed on him, with a strong sense of scrutiny.Then he looked away, looking at the majestic mountain gate behind him with strange eyes that seemed to ignore people, and said: "You alone are not worthy."

Qi Jin's expression changed, and the silver sword became even colder when he unsheathed it.The tip of the sword did not tremble at all, and stabbed straight through.Qi Jin has been obsessed with swords since he was a child. Over the years, he has worked hard to practice Chunyang's mental skills, coupled with his previous experience in facing the enemy's killer moves, his swordsmanship is indeed the most powerful among the five masters of Chunyang.Lu Zu commented that he was decisive and aggressive in killing and attacking, leaving no room for each other.But Qi Jin only wanted to fight demons and defend the way, and he used the sword to prove his heart, never caring about gains and losses.

Qi Jin's sword was so fast that the disciple couldn't see it clearly, like an invisible wind, the man also stood still at the corner of the cornice without making any movement.But before Qi Jin's sword tip was about to stab that person, he suddenly felt chills piercing his body, and the overwhelming sword intent swallowed his sword power instantly like a vast ocean current.Qi Jin had seen that person's profound cultivation, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. He was shocked and thought that even the senior brother who was the head of the third level of the inner scene scripture would not be able to get any cheap.Qi Jin gritted his teeth and changed his moves, but he was as fast as he could, like a feather soaring into the sky, trying to break free from the waves, but no matter how high his wings flew, he couldn't help being hit by the waves.Suddenly feeling a cold pain in his armpit, Qi Jin boasted of a sharp sword, but he didn't realize when he was hit in the rib by the opponent's branch.Not to mention the tricky position, and deliberately avoiding the arteries and veins, the most obvious contempt for mercy.If it is a little bit left or right, or if it is pushed up and down a little bit deeper, his hand will be useless.With a dead branch, sending and receiving swordsmanship from the heart, that person not only has profound skills, but also sword moves that Qi Jin has never seen in his life.Moreover, Qi Jin vaguely felt that the man's mentality was in the same line as Chunyang, but he was not completely sure, and his heart was full of doubts.

After finishing one move, the man still stood at the corner of the eaves without moving an inch, and even held the sword in front of him as usual, but Qi Jin knew how many times the sword had clashed with him just now, and he had exhausted all his strength. He tried his best but still couldn't get close to the person, and was hit by a branch instead.Qi Jin was forced to retreat to the steps of the mountain gate, and clicked the blood-stopping acupuncture point on his right arm. The wound was not deep, and the bleeding that flowed out quickly froze in the snow.The excited Chunyang disciples worriedly said: "Uncle Qi!" "Master, are you okay!".Qi Jin turned his head and cast a warning glance at the Chunyang disciples who couldn't hold back their worries and anger, and shouted: "Everyone back down!" With his pride, how could he be willing to suffer such humiliation? Before the purple energy all over his body became even more purple, he held the sword with his injured arm and said loudly: "If you have the ability to disturb Chunyang, you should step over my corpse first, and I will not accept the mercy left by your subordinates!"

The man looked at Qi Jin protecting a group of Chunyang disciples behind him, and there seemed to be some waves in his deep eyes. He paused for a moment and then snorted coldly: "What do I want your life for? Get out of the way. My trip is Fulfilling the agreement with Li Wangsheng, it's no one's turn to meddle in other people's affairs."

Qi Jin's face showed doubts, and the clever disciples who had already been on the side reported loudly to Qi Jin: "Master, this person doesn't report his family, he doesn't accept his name, he only says he has a promise with the head, and he will go up the mountain, even at the gate of the mountain. The quiet guest room is not willing to wait for a while, so..." Qi Jin nodded, then frowned at the man and said: "Since you are visiting the senior brother of the sect master, why don't you agree to use the name and respect the guest courtesy. I am Chunyang Is it a place where disrespectful disciples can come and go freely. If you don’t make it clear today, even though I lose you in skill, I won’t let you go up the mountain so easily.”

The person who came was Xie Yunliu, who smiled coldly when he heard the word "guest courtesy".After Qi Jin finished speaking, his body suddenly fluttered, and he said coldly: "You can't do what you can." Unable to see the movement clearly, Qi Jin's already injured hand suddenly lightened while holding the sword, and it fell to the ground. There was a sound of gasping from the disciples of Chunyang. Either the sword was dropped, or the spike and scabbard of the sword were cut off.It wasn't until Xie Yunliu made a round of tricks at the mountain gate and came to the high stone steps behind everyone that he finished the word "strength" with sufficient energy.

Qi Jin's eyes were about to burst, and he raised his breath to stop him. Even though he knew that he was injured by the sword hand, and his own skills were not as good as that person's, he might not be able to catch up. He only hated his lack of cultivation, but he was not afraid at all meaning.I was also guessing where this person came from—Suddenly Qi Jin remembered the major event that caused a sensation in the world recently, and saw that the person did not wear a sword, and thought to himself: Could it be that before the Fourth Famous Sword Conference not long ago, the Go to Chunyang Sword Post, the mysterious man in black who later took the lead in Can Xue.The rumored Dongying swordsmanship is sure to kill with one blow.However, if it is really like the rumors raging all over the world, the undisguised hint of the head of the family, and the deja vu mentality just now, this person is exactly——

But Xie Yunliu had already turned around and headed for the ladder.

Suddenly a voice came from behind Qi Jin, it wasn't loud, it was just barely audible in the howling wind and snow, trembling so much that he even forgot to use his inner strength.But it was just this ordinary sound that made Xie Yunliu, who was walking on the high step, stop abruptly, and turned around in a daze as if he was nailed in place.

Qi Jin and the rest of his disciples also turned their heads in surprise. The wind and snow at the mountain gate gradually subsided, and a young man who had just arrived stood by the threshold. The snow had not been swept away from his body, and the snow on his handsome eyebrows seemed to be melting. From a distance of several feet, looking at the elder with star-spotted hair and sword aura on the steps, there was still a little bit of hesitation and a little bit of disbelief deep in his eyes.

"Master?"

Xie Yunliu's gaze separated the others, and stared at the figure that he had not seen for many years. His stature had matured and his face was no longer young. The giant ship clearly came back to the eyes.

At the Chunyang Mountain Gate, where the wind and snow are misty, the white clothes are rustling like snow.Apart from Luo Feng, who among the disciples in the house could recognize him—Xie Yunliu, the chief disciple of Chunyang Palace.

Several disciples from the side, who had just been cut by Xie Yunliu's sword, cut ears, and clapped their palms, all showed shock. This seemingly cold-faced and dignified elder turned out to be the sword demon Xie Yunliu, Master Luo Feng Jing Xuzi.The young disciples basically knew that Xie Yunliu, Lu Zu's senior disciple, had defected from his master and absconded, but because the sect leader was not allowed to talk casually, so Chunyang's disciples had different ideas about what kind of person this senior senior brother was in the past.There are those with livid faces, those who shrink back in fear, those who are indignant and indignant, and those who are curious to see.

That Master, confirmed Qi Jin's conjecture.Alarm bells were ringing in his heart.In fact, on the second day after Chunyang's sword sticker was robbed, Li Wangsheng summoned the four of them to tell what happened, but did not reveal the identity of that person.When leaving, as clever as Yu Rui, Qi Jin exchanged glances with Zhuo Fengming in an enlightened way when he first asked "Are you senior brother?"Shangguan Boyu, who was usually reticent and did not participate in the discussion, looked at Li Wangsheng, and rarely showed a look of inquiry.But Li Wangsheng avoided the sight of Yu Rui and Shangguan Boyu, and said indifferently: "Everything has a cause and effect." He left the Sanqing Palace and left it for them to understand.

Then came the news that Can Xue was taken away by unidentified men in black at the Famous Sword Conference.The man in black has since been dubbed the name of Sword Demon.Japanese one-sword style warriors appeared one after another in various places.Conflicted with many sects in the arena.The sword demon even challenges decent masters everywhere, threatening revenge and standing up.All kinds of information point to the name that is almost regarded as taboo in Chunyang's old affairs.

Despite the turmoil in the outside world, Li Wangsheng suppressed all kinds of rumors in Chunyang Palace, and the other five Chunyang sons also followed the instructions of the head, restraining their disciples from causing trouble at will, but in private, they basically believed that the sword demon was the one who defected from Chunyang back then. Xie Yunliu of Yang Palace.However, after Luo Feng heard about it, he went down the mountain with several disciples of Jingxu.The strange thing is that Li Wangsheng not only didn't stop them, but also ordered the Chunyang disciples stationed everywhere not to interfere. He just sighed thoughtfully while delivering the news.

All these years Jingxu's disciples have been supported by Luo Feng, Qi Jin is very disapproving of this nephew's actions, he doesn't have a problem with Luo Feng, but he doesn't like the shadow of Xie Yunliu behind his insistence from time to time.Qi Jin hates Xie Yunliu: First, it is unforgivable in Qi Jin's heart to deceive his master, destroy his ancestors and disobey his master.Secondly, although Qi Jin left the imperial court, during his service in Lingxue Pavilion, he had already established the unbreakable belief that the orthodox position of Li and Tang Kaiyuan was unbreakable, and he could not understand the abolition of the emperor and the rebellion against the party.In addition to these things Xie Yunliu did after returning to the Central Plains, snatching sword stickers, conflicting with fellow Jianghu, and going around for revenge, it was not at all decent to act, and Qi Jin felt more and more disgusted.

Now that Luo Feng just came back from the foot of the mountain, thinking that he was looking for Xie Yunliu everywhere this trip, Qi Jin felt angry, and blurted out: "A person like Xie Yunliu is also worthy of being the master of Chunyang Palace? Luo Feng, how can he be in these years?" Have you ever taken care of Jingxu? Don't be obsessed with it. He's coming aggressively today, who knows if he's looking for the head brother to cause trouble."

Xie Yunliu frowned, he didn't bother to explain to Qi Jin, so he didn't say a word, just snorted coldly and snapped his fingers into sword energy, and went straight to Qi Jin's face, shouting: "Shut up."

Not to mention that Qi Jin swung his sword to block the edge and was burning with anger. Luo Feng's appearance and the Jingxu lineage mentioned by Qi Jin just now brought back Xie Yunliu's distant memories.I think he also taught his disciples basic martial arts in Tai Chi Square back then.He picked up Luo Feng and raised him for eight years, and the master-student bond was deep.At that time, there were only two disciples under Jingxu's name, Luo Feng and Lou Yan. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Jingxu's line has not been cut off.Xie Yunliu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he looked at Luo Feng fixedly, wondering what kind of person Rumu respected his beloved disciple in the past, what kind of person he had become in Chunyang Palace, a place that Li Wangsheng had dominated for many years, and how he would be with him. Was it the same before?

Luo Feng did not respond to Qi Jin's words, but took a deep breath, leaving a deeply embedded footprint on the snow with each step.Parting from the crowd is like swimming the water waves that parted into the sea in the past, and finally able to break through the waves and come to him.Xie Yunliu was on several steps.Under the steps, Luo Feng still knelt down on his knees straight up with his chest up to his chest as a young boy, tears streaming down his face.

"Master, you are finally back. Disciple misses you very much."

This prostration, across the high mountains and the sea, broke through the time flies, Xie Yunliu thought that he was still waiting here, Luo Feng thought that he had finally waited.

There seemed to be a breeze passing through Xie Yunliu's empty chest, and there was a gap in the cold and numb depths.Penetrating the pure and admiring eyes that are still the same as before.Xie Yunliu sighed deeply, feeling lost all his life, tossing and turning, often seeing people's hearts being cold and warm.Xie Yunliu can roughly count how much Luo Feng must have suffered in these years if he wanted to maintain such thoughts to support Jingxu's vein.He stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Feng'er, I should have taken you away at the beginning, I have suffered for you." Luo Feng wiped away his tears in embarrassment, as if he couldn't believe that a man of his age was crying.But the moment he faced Xie Yunliu, he seemed to be the child who had undergone tremendous changes when he was eight years old. The ignorance and weakness that had faded away would never come back, but the tears that had been accumulated for many years still flowed out uncontrollably.Xie Yunliu helped him up, Luo Feng looked dazed, half relieved and half surprised, afraid that if he let go, the master would disappear again.

Qi Jin suppressed the inner strength that had just been injured, held the sword in his hand, and Qing Zha said: "Luo Feng! Are you determined to be obsessed with obsession? Xie Yunliu is a traitor and a remnant of the abolished emperor. If he has no half-hearted repentance, How should you deal with yourself! Over the years, the sect master has been ignorant of Jing Xu on the surface, but he has favored you a lot in private, and this is how you repay him?"

Luo Feng's expression had regained his composure, and he turned around to salute Qi Jin with neither humble nor overbearing hand, and said, "Luo Feng has lived for the master all his life. He also knows the master master's desire to resolve misunderstandings. If he really can't have both, he is willing to die for redemption." Please rest assured, Master Qi, I will not insult Chunyang's reputation."

Xie Yunliu finally changed his face when he heard the word "death", and reprimanded: "Death is dead, who dares to touch you with me here. Don't mention such things in the future." He turned to Qi Jin and said: "You Li Zi really hates you, I don't want to be as knowledgeable as your younger generation when you keep trying to stop me. Don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing Luo Feng's loyalty and love for Xie Yunliu, Qi Jin thought of Lu Zu's age, and now he was traveling abroad, and his real body was missing.Thinking about the earnest teachings, I often wish I could show more filial piety, but Xie Yunliu, as an orphan adopted by Lu Zu, didn't want to raise and teach him since he was a child and hurt him.Qi Jin said angrily: "Xie Yunliu, you are in vain seeing Luo Feng looking for you so hard, you have thought about how sad Master is, you are not worthy to be Master's disciple at all!"

This is hitting Xie Yunliu's sore spot.His visit to Mount Hua this time was a fulfillment of the promise he had promised Li Wangsheng not long ago.He kept what he said, Li Wangsheng helped him, and he would definitely come if he promised.Therefore, without bringing a single disciple, he came to the heavily guarded Chunyang Palace alone.Since he has made a name as a sword demon in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't bother to take a sneaky path when he returns to Mount Hua.That day, Li Wangsheng's words still echoed in his mind repeatedly. All these years, he supported his spine with a lot of anger.But if the master had no intention of harming him, then his impulsive act of hurting the master was simply... This time when he went to Huashan, Xie Yunliu came with the heart of breaking into the dragon's pool and tiger's den. After all, he might be able to beat Li Wangsheng. But they couldn't beat Lu Zu, let alone the Chunyang Palace they had been running for so many years.But he still came, one is to fulfill the appointment, and the other is...he has a faint tendency that Lu Zu will not really harm him, even if he did, it would be Li Wangsheng's deceit, he is careful enough to protect himself.The third is that he investigated in Miaojiang that detoxification needs to be combined with Taoist companions and transplanted. If the poison is not understood, it will intensify.And according to the letterhead left by the missing woman with five poisons, his detoxification target can only be Li Wangsheng.Xie Yunliu didn't understand the reason, and felt that it was absurd. He needed to clarify with Li Wangsheng before discussing other matters.

But Qi Jin's words directly opened the deepest wound in Xie Yunliu's heart.It made him hurt for a while, and he subconsciously attacked Qi Jin fiercely.The sword qi between the fingers is unrestrained and has [-]% strength. Qi Jin was injured at first, and he couldn't continue his moves with the strength for a while, and there was another disciple of Chunyang behind him.His expression turned pale, but he didn't hide, he stopped in front of the disciples.Luo Feng's face changed and he wanted to stop him, but he was too far away. When he realized that the energy had already hit Qi Jin's face, he saw that Qi Jin was about to hit him hard, and his life was in danger. Suddenly, a pure energy descended from the sky, covering Qi Jin and the disciples behind him.With strong power, Huang Zhong and Da Lu gave a clang, dispelling and blocking the fierce sword energy.In the entire Chunyang Palace, there is only one person who has such a profound skill of suppressing mountains and rivers.

Xie Yunliu turned his head and saw Li Wangsheng walking towards him with several disciples following behind him.Li Wangsheng's expression was still neither sad nor happy, and his mouth shape was the "big brother" he could recognize.The Huashan Dangerous Road is guarded by one man, Xie Yunliu is at the bell mouth at the entrance of the mountain road, Li Wangsheng is at the other end of the mountain road, and there are crowds of people behind him.And they stood relatively still, with only this narrow path several feet long for one person to pass in the middle.It seems that after going around for decades, if you want to cross the winding and dangerous road between them, you still have to face the abyss.Xie Yunliu had fallen once before, and his body was almost smashed to pieces, almost doomed.

If you're such a villain, I won't let you push me down again.Xie Yunliu clenched the branch in his hand, thinking indifferently.I will let you never stand up again.
