Chapter 5 The fourth round

Yan Shisan didn't argue, nor did he want to argue.This is the rule of the four great families in the martial arts, and it is acquiesced by everyone in the world.If there is no deep hatred, no one wants to break this rule. Those who hang out in the Jianghu must abide by the rules of the Jianghu more or less.Even Yan Shisan was no exception. Xiao Hate said: "It's a pity that you understand everything, but you don't understand one thing." Yan Shisan said, "Oh?" Xiao hates to say: "Now you don't even have to go in if you don't want to." Yan Shisan said: "Why?"

Little Hate said: "Because my sister is the one who wants me to ask you to come in." The woods are peaceful and quiet, and even the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves is gentle.Going deep into the forest, autumn is also thicker. The crow did not follow in— "Because my sister only wants to see him alone." Why did she want to see him?And want to meet alone?Yan Shisan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't have to think about it. He has seen her. Under the old tree with withered leaves, there is a new mat. On the mat is a qin, an incense burner, and a jug of wine.

——This was obviously left behind by Xiahou Xing. When he left here, he obviously left in a hurry. —was he driven away?Chased away by this brooding woman sitting under a tree right now? She looked not only melancholy, but also vulnerable, as if she couldn't take any more shocks. Yan Shisan walked over, walking gently, as if afraid of disturbing her.But she had already raised her head, and was sizing him up with a pair of water-cut eyes: "You are the life-threatening Yan Shisan?" Yan Shisan nodded and said, "The girl is from Cuiyun Peak?" He recognized the emerald green ribbon outside, which is the label of Cuiyun Peak and Lushui Lake.Unexpectedly, she shook her head.Yan Shisan really couldn't imagine that someone who was not from Cuiyun Peak would dare to use Cuiyun Peak's label cloth?

"I'm from Qixingtang in the south of the Yangtze River." Her voice was also very weak: "My name is Murong Qiudi." Yan Shisan was even more surprised.Qixingtang in the south of the Yangtze River is also one of the four great families in the martial arts. Murong Qiudi is not only a famous beauty in the world, but also a famous filial daughter.In order to take care of her sick parents, she rejected countless marriages and sacrificed the most beautiful years of her life.Why did she suddenly appear here now?Could it be that the owner of Qixingtang, "Jiangnan Hero" Murong Zheng, has passed away?

The reputation of Qixingtang is not below Cuiyun Peak, why would she steal someone else's label? Murong Qiudi seemed to have seen through what he was thinking, suddenly said: "My father is not dead, although he is sick, he won't die within three to five years." Yan Shisan exhaled and said, "I hope he is healthy and can live a few more years." Murong Qiudi said: "This time I came out, I sneaked out, he didn't even know." Yan Shisan couldn't help but want to ask: "Why?" Before he could ask, Murong Qiudi continued: "Because I want to kill someone."

A kind of indescribable sadness and resentment suddenly appeared in her melancholy eyes. She must have hated this man—who was this man? Yan Shisan didn't dare to ask, and didn't want to ask, he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the four great families of martial arts. Murong Qiudi's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and the person seemed to be in the distance. After a long time, she slowly continued: "You must all know that I am a filial daughter." Yan Shisan admitted. Murong Qiudi said: "In the past seven years, I have rejected forty-three marriage proposals."

Those who are qualified to go to Qixingtang to ask for relatives are of course the children of famous families in the Jianghu. Murong Qiudi said: "Do you know why I rejected them?" Yan Shisan said: "Because you can't bear to leave your father." Murong Qiudi said: "You are wrong." Yan Shisan said, "Oh?" Murong Qiudi said: "I am not the kind of filial daughter that others imagined, I... I..." She suddenly held her hand tightly and said, "I'm just a liar. I not only lied to others, but I also lied to myself." Yan Shisan was stunned, he didn't dare to look at her again, her eye circles were already red, and tears might flow down at any moment.

He didn't want to see women cry, and he didn't want to know why women cried. It's a pity that she has to say it. "I refuse other people's marriage, just because I have been waiting for him to propose." "Who is he?Was it the one she was going to kill? Murong Qiudi's tears finally flowed down: "He promised me that he would definitely come. He promised many times." —but he didn't come. ——A ruthless man who used marriage as bait to deceive a passionate girl. ——This is not a tragedy unique to her. ——Since ancient times, this kind of tragedy has happened countless times, and it is still happening anytime, anywhere.Yan Shisan did not feel sad for her.

Because only the tragedy that happens to oneself is the real tragedy.Other people's tragedies are hard to move people like Yan Shisan. Murong Qiudi said: "I met him when I was sixteen, and he asked me to wait for him for seven years." Seven years!What a long time. From sixteen to twenty-three, what a beautiful time in a woman's life? How many such seven years are there in a person's life?Yan Shisan was already sighing in his heart. ——When he asked you to wait for him for seven years, he was already deceiving you. ——He thought that you would not wait so long, that you must have forgotten him seven years later.

Yan Shisan is a man, so of course he understands a man's heart very well.But he didn't say it, he could see how painful the seven long years had been for her, what a bitter experience. Murong Qiudi said: "The child you saw just now is not my younger brother." Yan Shisan said, "No?" Murong Qiudi said: "He is my son, the illegitimate child of me and that person." Yan Shisan was stunned.Only now did he understand why she had to wait seven years and why she hated that person so much. Even he was grieving for her now. Murong Qiudi said: "I told you these things, not to make you feel bad for me."

Her voice suddenly became very cold, and her melancholy voice suddenly became as sharp as a blade. She continued coldly: "I want you to kill someone for me." Yan Shisan said, "Is that the person?" Murong Qiudi said: "Yes!" Yan Shisan said, "I only kill two kinds of people." Murong Qiudi said: "Anyone who has hatred against you?" Yan Shisan nodded and said, "There is another kind, those who want to kill me." He continued slowly: "So I hope you can understand one thing." Murong Qiudi said: "Say it." Yan Shisan said: "If you must kill someone, you must do it yourself. If you tie a knot yourself, you must untie it yourself." Murong Qiudi said: "But I can't go." Yan Shisan said: "Why?" Murong Qiudi said: "Because... because I don't want to see him again." Yan Shisan said: "Is it because you are afraid that once you see his face, you won't be able to bear to strike?" Murong Qiudi clenched her hand again. Yan Shisan sighed, and said, "Since you can't bear it, why do you have to kill him?" Murong Qiudi stared at him, and suddenly said: "I also hope you can understand one thing." Yan Shisan said, "Say it." Murong Qiudi said: "I must kill this person, and I must kill you!" Yan Shisan said: "Why?" Murong Qiudi said: "Because this person's name is Xie Xiaofeng." Yan Shisan's expression changed, and he said, "Xie Xiaofeng, the master of Green Water Lake?" Murong Qiudi said: "That's him!" There is a large horizontal plaque in the lobby of Cuiyun Peak, Lushui Lake, and Shenjian Villa.There are only five characters on it, gold characters. "The best sword in the world". This is not their own bragging, it is after all the famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes discussed their swords at the peak of Huashan many years ago, each of them took out a tael of gold, cast these five gold characters, and gave it to Xie Tian. Xie Tian is the first generation owner of Excalibur Villa.This was a long time ago, and although the golden characters on the plaque are still dazzling, the reputation of "the best sword in the world" no longer exists.In the past hundred years, many famous swords have emerged in the rivers and lakes, and no one can be recognized as the number one sword in the world. The radiance of Excalibur Villa gradually changed from gorgeous to plain, until this generation—— Because this generation of Shenjian Villa has produced a remarkable person, who is so beautiful and talented that the world looks at him. This man had already defeated Hua Yukun, the number one swordsman under Huashan sect thirteen years ago. When this person is born, it seems that he has brought all the blessings and honors of the gods. After he was born, no one could compare to the honor and favor he received.He is an unborn swordsman in the Jianghu, and also a recognized talent in the martial arts. He was smart and handsome, healthy and strong, and a man of chivalry and integrity.In his life, it is difficult for anyone to find a little flaw, a little regret. This person is the third young master of "Excalibur Villa" in Lushui Lake. This person is Xie Xiaofeng. The woods are quieter, and the cool, dry air is filled with the fragrance of leaves. Yan Shisan didn't seem to feel anything at all. After hearing these three words, he seemed to have stopped breathing. After a long time, he let out a light breath and said, "I know this person." Murong Qiudi said: "Of course you should know that you two have a dead date that will never leave or leave!" Yan Shisan couldn't deny it: "I did make an appointment to find him." Murong Qiudi said: "You never change the appointment?" Yan Shisan said: "Never." Murong Qiudi said: "Then this date may be your last date." Yan Shisan said, "Oh?" Murong Qiudi said: "I have seen your sword skills, you are definitely not his opponent." Yan Shisan smiled wryly, "Since you know, why did you ask me to kill him?" Murong Qiudi said: "Because you met me." Yan Shisan said: "You..." Murong Qiudi said: "His swordsmanship is natural, it has almost surpassed the limit of swordsmanship." Yan Shisan sighed: "He is indeed a genius, and I have seen him make moves." Murong Qiudi said: "You can also see the flaws in his sword technique?" Yan Shisan said: "There are no flaws in his swordsmanship, absolutely not." Murong Qiudi said: "Yes." Yan Shisan said: "Really?" Murong Qiudi said: "Absolutely, only a little bit." Yan Shisan said: "You know?" Murong Qiudi said: "Only I know." Yan Shisan's eyes shone brightly. He believed that what she said was not a lie. If there was anyone in the world who could know the flaws in the third young master's swordsmanship, it must be her. Because they were once in love.There was no doubt that their minds were fully connected, at least for the moment they had that child.Only a person who has truly loved him can know his secret. For an invincible swordsman, the flaw in his sword technique is his greatest secret. Not only did Yan Shisan's eyes shine, but her heartbeat also accelerated.He is also a swordsman.He too has dedicated his life and love to his sword.This is not only a great contribution, but a arduous sacrifice.This sacrifice is not entirely free. The momentary brilliance of victory was enough to illuminate his life.The purpose of his sword practice is to win, not to die. Absolutely not! If there is a chance of victory, who is willing to give up? Murong Qiudi looked into his glowing eyes, and of course could see that he was moved.Immediately continued: "So only I can help you defeat him in this world, and only you can kill him for me." Yan Shisan said, "Why is it only me?" Murong Qiudi said: "Because among your thirteen life-threatening swords, there is one that can put him to death with a slight change!" Yan Shisan said: "Which sword is that?" Murong Qiudi said: "The fourteenth sword." It is obviously the thirteenth sword that kills people, how could there be a fourteenth sword?Others will definitely not understand. Yan Shisan understood. Although there are only thirteen kinds of sword moves in Thirteen Deadly Swords, there are fourteen kinds of changes.That change is the essence of his moves, the soul of his swordsmanship.Although the soul is invisible, no one can deny its existence! Murong Qiudi suddenly stood up.She still looked so delicate, so fragile, but there was that blade-like light in her eyes again.She was looking at Yan Shisan, and said word by word: "Now I am Xie Xiaofeng." After saying these seven words, the light in her eyes seemed to turn into a terrifying murderous look again!A kind of murderous aura that only masters who kill without counting can have. ——Could it be that this delicate and fragile lady of a famous family has also killed people, how many people has she killed? Yan Shisan didn't ask, and there was no need to ask.He could see it. Murong Qiudi broke off a dead branch and said, "This is my sword." With this dead branch in her hands, her person changed again. The invincible and irresistible murderous aura was not only in her eyes, but also in her body.It's everywhere! Murong Qiudi said: "Now you watch, watch carefully, this is just the only flaw in his sword technique." A gust of wind blew by, and the wind suddenly became very cold. Her person and sword have already begun to move, a very slow and graceful movement, as natural as the wind. But when the wind blows, who can resist?And who knows where the wind is blowing from? Yan Shisan's pupils were shrinking. Slowly, slowly, her sword came out. It came out from the most inconceivable part, and suddenly there was the most inconceivable change when it came out.But between these changes, there is indeed a little flaw. ——When the wind blows away the earth, isn't it inevitable that there will be omissions? ——But when the wind blows, who can notice these places? Yan Shisan suddenly found that his palms were covered in cold sweat. Just then, her movements stopped. She stared at Yan Shisan coldly, and said, "Have you seen it now?" Yan Shisan nodded. Murong Qiudi said: "You can tell, it's only because my movements are twenty-four times slower than when he made a move." Yan Shisan believed that her calculation was absolutely correct. A real master's estimate of the speed of swordsmanship is definitely ten times more accurate than the value of the goods estimated by the pawnshop Chaofeng. Murong Qiudi said: "When I actually make a move, although I'm a little slower than him, it's not much slower." Yan Shisan also had to believe it.Now he has discovered that this delicate and fragile woman is really the only master he has ever seen in his life. Murong Qiudi said: "Now I'm going to make a move." Yan Shisan asked, "Who are you going to deal with?" Murong Qiudi said: "You." Yan Shisan exhaled lightly, and said, "You want to see if I can break this sword?" Murong Qiudi said: "Yes." Yan Shisan said: "If I break this sword, will you die under my sword?" Murong Qiudi said: "You don't need to worry about this." Yan Shisan said: "What if I still can't break this sword?" Murong Qiudi said: "Then you must die!" She continued coldly: "If you still can't break this sword, it will be no good for you and me to live any longer. I have to kill you!"
