Chapter 3 Chapter Three

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and no one was overwhelmed by the other in terms of momentum, but as time went on, the sickly man gradually felt unbearable. Xie Jinyin has so much experience in dealing with the enemy, how could he not be aware of it? At the same time, he also knows how to deal with such a stoic and calm person. He immediately raised his foot and took a big step forward, and there was a sound of "chuck", with an extremely murderous aura It surged out like a raging wave. Sweat stains appeared on the forehead of the sick man, which showed that he was nervous at this moment, if he didn't withdraw his weapons to counter the enemy's momentum, he might be defeated and retreat.

Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded: "If Mr. Luo doesn't use the knife now, when will he wait?" As soon as this remark came out, Xie Jinyin didn't need to look at it to know that it was the masked man in black who said it. The sick man's situation has reached the point where he has to use weapons, which is not enough to break the crisis. Although the masked man in the dark has not personally confronted the enemy, he can see the opportunity to fight. The sickly man moved his arms slightly, flashing a gloomy brilliance. His left and right hands already had two scimitars, one long and one short. Suddenly, bursts of saber energy rushed over, and Xie Jinyinjing was forced to retreat. Three steps!

The sickly man let out a sigh of relief, and said: "This is the first time since I debuted that I have used both swords together. Your surname is Xie. You really deserve to be the number one swordsman in the world..." Xie Jinyin said indifferently: "Your step is absurd." His eyes fell on the strangely shaped double knives held by the sickly man, one long and one short in both hands, his mind moved slightly, he turned his head to Xie Jinzhang and said: "Second brother, can you see this What is the history of the double sword?" Xie Jinzhang said slowly: "This Luofu double saber can be called the best among swords, just like the general Mo Xie in the sword. It was left by the Luofu family who originally lived in Baiyue and later moved to the South China Sea. They have always used the Luofu double saber. All of them are disciples of the Luofu family..."

There was a slight pause in the voice, and he said again: "It's just that according to the legend, Luofu's family was completely wiped out by the enemy five years ago, and no one escaped. It is very puzzling that the Luofu double swords appeared here again five years later." When he spoke, he kept paying attention to the sick man's expression, obviously he meant to tell him. The sick man's expression changed drastically, and he swung his saber to attack, two saber flowers spewed out, with the faint sound of wind and thunder, they went straight to Xie Jinyin. Xie Jinyin blurted out praise: "Excellent saber technique!"

Seeing the two flashes of cold light, the violent shots were about to reach his own throat, Xie Jinyin's gesture sank, and he grasped the handle of the sword with five fingers, and with a "choking" sound, the sword had already reached his hand. His sword is completely under the induction of Qi, and the hand is released naturally. He pays attention to "the other doesn't move, I don't move. If the other wants to move, I move first." It is precisely because of this that the sword was launched recklessly, and it was even faster than the opponent's saber. The man with a sick face was not afraid at all, he flew forward to bully others, raised both knives at the same time, and attacked from the left and right respectively, forming two solid and powerful auras.

Xie Jinyin felt the saber's aura was strong, he thought he had never encountered such a powerful counterattack in his life, and the Luofu double swords in the opponent's hands were divine objects, so he had some scruples in his heart, so he had to give up the offensive and return the sword to protect himself.The masked man on the side laughed loudly and said, "It turns out that thanking someone is nothing more than mediocrity!" Xie Jinyin turned a deaf ear to it, never being distracted by the masked man's sarcasm, he pointed the tip of his sword, and slammed the sword out again.

But seeing what the point of his sword is pointing at, taking the vital points, brushing the acupoints and meridians, almost everywhere. Xie Jinyin has been immersing himself in kendo all his life, and it has been tens of years. This time he performed the first form of "Three Fufeng Forms", "Xiajin Fenghan", and he saw the power immediately, without any trace of gaps. The sword rain flew out, with a "woo" and "woo" strange howl, the momentum was really terrifying to the extreme, in an instant, the sick man showed a nervous look on his face, turned to the left, and passed through.

He retreated and advanced again, with a long howl, the saber slanted forward, facing the sword swung by Xie Jinyin, unexpectedly, in that flash of light and flint, the saber rebounded. When Xie Jinzhang saw him spitting out the knife, he suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Luo Fu counterattacked! Brother, be careful!" Xie Jinyin didn't know that the opponent's move was the famous backhand gesture in Luofu's secret art. This backhand gesture usually takes advantage of the enemy's surprise and strikes when the enemy is unprepared, making it impossible for people to guard against it. When hostile, there are not many people who are defeated by this move.

Under such circumstances, the time to see the winner with one move has come, whether it is Xie Jinyin or the sick man, there is no way to delay it. Suddenly, I heard the masked man in the darkness yelling, "Quick—quick!" When Wu and Zhen heard the sound, they bowed suddenly, raised their palms like lightning, aimed at Xie Jinyin, who was seven steps away, and struck out—— This time Xiao Qiang was in trouble, Xie Jinyin was concentrating on dealing with the current opponent, but unexpectedly someone launched a surprise attack. He didn't have time to turn around— Facts can't turn around either—

But he felt that the wind was pressing on his body, the palm strength of Zhen and Wu had already pushed to his back palace! Xie Jinzhang's eyes were about to burst, and he roared: "Zhen Dingyuan, Wu Xiaoqiu, are you going to repeat your old tricks?" One step forward, but one step too late. It was too late, but sooner or later, Zhen and Wu's palms were approaching, the sickly man caught a glance, suddenly withdrew both sabers, and leaped out backwards. As soon as the sick man withdrew his swords, Xie Jinyin immediately felt the pressure on his chest lighten. He seized the opportunity and stabbed back, the sharpness of the sword was naturally transferred to Zhen and Wu.

As a result, the sword energy became more fierce and formidable, and the sword light surged like long waves breaking through the shore. Seeing this, Zhen and Wu's expressions turned cold, and they didn't dare to hold his sword forcefully. As soon as the palm strength was withdrawn, both of them retreated. The two of them stared at the sick man in unison, and vented their resentment on him. Wu Xiaoqiu lowered his face and said in a deep voice, "Hero Luo, what do you mean?" The sickly man sneered, but didn't reply. He suddenly withdrew his swords for no reason, relieved the pressure on Xie Jinyin's chest, and enabled Xie Jinyin to turn around and deal with Zhen Dingyuan and Wu Xiaoqiu's attacks with all his strength, forcing their plot to fail. No wonder Zhen and Wu wanted to beat him up Hateful... The masked man in the black said coldly: "Why did Brother Luo twitch his legs before the battle?" The sickly man said: "It's very simple, I lost." The masked man in the black said: "Defeated? Where did you lose?" Before waiting for the sick man to reply, he immediately said sharply: "The outcome of that move just now has not been judged, how can it be said to be defeated? It is clear that you intended..." The sick man calmly interrupted: "I have self-knowledge. With Xie Daxia's sword skills, I can't compete with him in this style. Therefore, although the victory is not judged on the surface, in fact, I have already lost. As for why It is another matter to cause the two friends to attack and fail to succeed, how can I be blamed for withdrawing the two sabers?" Wu Xiaoqiu snorted coldly, and said, "Hero Luo's reason is quite sufficient." The man with a sick face said: "There is a way that the situation is stronger than the people. If the master of the martial arts school can easily put himself in the situation, he can understand that the reason why I withdrew my swords was forced by the situation, and I had to do it—" Zhen Dingyuan snorted coldly: "In my opinion, Luo Daxia is probably the best at eating inside and outside. We asked you to help us, it's nothing..." Hearing this, Xie Jinyin thought to himself: "This man surnamed Luo was invited by Zhen Dingyuan and the others. There may have been a tacit understanding. At the critical moment when he was going all out to arrest me, Zhen and Wu waited for an opportunity to attack me. Unexpectedly, the one surnamed Luo changed his mind midway, so that his success failed, so I don't know what his intentions are?" The sickly man's voice broke his contemplation: "Hero Xie has a mastery of swordsmanship, and he deserves to be number one in the world. I can't help but feel sorry for myself, let's just say goodbye..." As soon as he turned around, he waited to leave.The masked man in the black sternly said, "Don't regret it, Hero Luo!" The man with a sick face said: "If you can't beat him, you have to leave. Why should I regret it?" The masked man in the black grinned grinningly and said: "If Hero Luo lets go and walks away, the old man will never reveal any secrets about Luo Fumen being plotted and wiped out by others." Xie Jinyin thought in his heart: "This guy really has a lot to do with Luofumen." He said: "It turns out that your Excellency used this as a threat, so it's no wonder that Luofu's family was wiped out. There is no one who knows the inside story. Your Excellency in the end How many secrets do you know?" The masked man in the black said: "It's none of your business, you'd better not ask questions." The sick-looking man hesitated for a while, then said seriously to the black-cloth masked man, "Your Majesty was invited to come here, and I have already exhausted my strength. Are you planning to renege on your promise and lose weight?" The masked man in the darkness said: "That's not entirely true." The man with a sick face said: "That's not the case, we still have a chance to meet, you have already agreed, and you still can't say it at that time..." He jumped up into the air and ran towards the west side path, and no one was in the dark immediately. middle. Xie Jinyin secretly praised: "Although this person behaves strangely, he is still an upright man." Turning my mind, I suddenly said loudly: "Second Brother, let's follow him..." The two brothers jumped up one after another, and then fled away. The masked man in the black sneered and said, "Is the famous Xie family Kunzhong so stalking?" But he didn't cross his body to stop him, even Zhen and Wu stood aside with their hands behind their backs, without any action, Xie Jinyin and Xie Jinzhang flew five zhang away, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. Their intuition was almost accurate. In the silent night, there was a sharp whistling sound, and three people appeared on the road ahead. Xie Jinyin stared at them, but there were three burly men in strange costumes. He yelled: "You son of a bitch! Do you also come to block the way of a certain house?" The three of them remained silent, and when the Xie brothers passed by, the person on the right suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "Qiu Han crosses the river with the wind..." The person on the left interjected: "The hero breaks the sword and Cuihubo." Xie Jinyin's body trembled violently, and he couldn't help but look again, only to see that the three men blocking the way were holding a half-broken sword in their hands. The three broken swords shone coldly under the light of the waning moon, their color was like rotten silver, and they caught people's eyes. After just a glance, Xie Jinyin's sight could not be taken back. With a long howl, he circled in mid-air and retreated again. Xie Jinzhang saw Nai brother's strange behavior, and said in a broken voice, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Even though he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't even think about it, so he returned to the original place and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Jinyin—— Xie Jinyin said: "I must stay here, you go first." Xie Jinzhang said: "Brother, what are you talking about?" Wu Xiaoqiu and others quickly caught up, and Zhen Dingyuan said to the masked man in the darkness, "How? My trick really worked, right?" Xie Jinyin said: "Even if you ask each other now, a certain family will not leave." Zhen Dingyuan said triumphantly: "Of course I won't leave. I expected that once you saw these three broken swords, you would be unable to leave. The past is hard to forget, isn't it?" Xie Jinyin gritted his teeth and said, "The three broken swords were originally kept by Wudang, Shaolin and Beggars respectively. How did you get them?..." Zhen Dingyuan said: "Then there's no need to ask? It's just stolen, robbed, or kidnapped. In short, it's not what the three major sects asked for." Xie Jinyin said: "The relationship between these three broken swords is very unusual, the surname Zhen, don't play tricks anymore." Zhen Dingyuan blinked, and said: "It's a pity that the three swords are broken in half, but it is easy to make people feel emotional. I think of the night in Cuihu, a generation of famous professional swordsmen..." Xie Jinyin's tongue was full of spring thunder, and he shouted: "Shut up, you man—" Zhen Dingyuan said with a sinister smile: "No one wants to be exposed to old scars. That's easy." Xie Jinyin said: "Zhen Dingyuan, do you dare to come out and fight to the death with me?" Zhen Dingyuan said: "Not busy, not busy." Pointing at the three men in different clothes holding swords, he said, "Do you recognize these three?" Xie Jinyin said: "Are these three resting? They planned to assassinate Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, in the Jingyangzhang prefect's mansion, and they were chased away by a certain family, ha! ha!" Zhen Dingyuan's expression changed, and the man in the middle said: "Xia Di Yifei, this is our right and left warm rabbit, baked rabbit. We retreated without a fight in Jingyang City that night. I have another mission..." Zhen Dingyuan said, "Di Yifei, have you said enough?" As soon as Di Yifei was reminded by him, Fang Shi realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he hurriedly kept silent. Zhen Dingyuan took the three broken swords from Di Yifei, Nuantu and Hongtu, rubbed his palms for a while, and said slowly: "Wu Feishi, the teacher of Yan Gong, was entrusted by you to cut the three broken swords. The swords were handed over to Shaolin, Wudang and the Beggar Clan for safekeeping, and the old man knew that there must be something hidden in it, and now that the broken sword is in hand, it proves that what the old man expected was true—" Xie Jinyin said: "Hidden secrets? Tell me about it." The man in black suddenly opened his mouth and said word by word: "Your surname is Xie, do you still want to pretend? Didn't you put the note in the scabbard?" Xie Jinyin was stunned, and said: "You also got the scabbard?" Zhen Dingyuan said: "Although I haven't got the scabbard, I know the contents of the note hidden in the interlayer, do you want to hear it?" Xie Jinyin said: "Let's talk—" Zhen Dingyuan said slowly: "You have already seen the first few sentences written on the note on the coffin: Looking at September, the fourth watch is over, the waning moon hangs obliquely, Yu Tu heard the sound of hoofbeats and the neighing of horses approaching from far away. , I live in a remote place, how come night riding in the middle of the night? It's quite strange. When I heard the knock on the door, I opened it, but there was no one outside the door, so I went back to the room. So, could it be that ghosts are haunting evil spirits?..." Xie Jinzhang could only hear his heart beating wildly, his lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak. Xie Jinyin said: "Enough, I think you have memorized it thoroughly, let me ask you, since you have never got the scabbard, how can you know the contents of the Tibetan paper?" Zhen Dingyuan said: "Is this? Hehe, the secret must not be leaked." Xie Jinyin said: "Let me think about it, the note in the first paragraph is hidden in the scabbard interlayer of the Broken Stars Sword, and the Broken Stars Sword is handed over to the Wudang School for safekeeping. The face man cut his mouth and said: "according to this way, the note must be hidden by you Xie Jinyin, there is no doubt about it. " Xie Jinyin opened his eyes, thanked two cold flashes, and said in a deep voice: "Friend, take off that black hole on your face!" Yan Luo stood up and drew out the long sword at his waist. Zhen Dingyuan was the first to bear the brunt, and immediately felt Xie Jinyin's sudden murderous intent following the sword. His reaction could not be described as unpleasant, he immediately drew his sword in his hand, ready to seal the frame. But Xie Jinyin bypassed his side, detoured forward, the sword in his hand trembled and sank, and slanted towards the blackness covering the masked man's face—— The masked man seemed to have expected Xie Jinyin's move, before the sword edge arrived, he yelled violently, raised his palms, and pushed it out. Xie Jinyin leaned to one side, avoiding the opponent's palms, swiped his sword again, and made a flat move of "immortal guiding the way", and his body spun obliquely in the opposite direction. The masked man didn't expect Xie Jinyin to change his moves so quickly, and in a daze, the blackness on his face was picked up by Xie Jinyin's sword—— Xie Jinyin's eyes were like lightning, and he saw half of the man's face clearly. It was too late, it was soon, the masked man yelled loudly, raised his palms, like a mountain's internal force, with the sound of the whistling wind, he responded quickly, and forced Xie Jinyin back two steps in one fell swoop. Xie Jinyin settled down, with the same expression as usual, and said, "So it's you—" Xie Jinzhang approached Brother Nai and said in a low voice, "Brother, you can see clearly, who is this person?" Xie Jinyin said: "Who do you think he is?" Xie Jinzhang asked without hesitation, "Is it Moyun Shou?" Xie Jinyin shook his head and said: "Wrong." After a pause, he continued: "You can't guess, he is Qingfeng Daoist of Wudang Sect." Xie Jinzhang was taken aback for a while, and said, "Is it Qingfeng, the junior brother taught by Dashi?" Xie Jinyin nodded heavily, and the masked man in the black burst into a long laugh, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, took off the black mask, and revealed the face of a Taoist priest about fifty years old. The old Taoist said coldly: "Thank you benefactor, even if you have eyesight, how could you think that the poor Taoist came here? Did you think of it from Fanxing Duanjian?" Xie Jinyin said: "At first, a certain family still thought that you were the Moyun Shou who also had the identity of the commander of the ghost axe. The Taoist priest and the head teacher Tianshi are brothers, but you acted with your heart, but you went against the head teacher Tianshi. There is a difference, but I can’t figure it out.” Daoist Qingfeng sneered and said: "Don't mention Tianshi, everyone has his own ambition, he will be his teacher, and I will be mine..." Xie Jinyin interjected: "You will be your green house secret envoy, won't you?" Daoist Qingfeng stood as before, without any vibration, and said: "Why does the benefactor make such a guess?" Xie Jinyin stared at him for a while, then said: "Forget it, the Taoist priest has forgotten what I said." Qingfeng Taoist said: "Time is running out, benefactor, please give me a trick—" Opening the door with the long sword in his hand is actually one of the unique skills of Wudang Mountain, the opening gesture of "Sixteen Swords of Zhenguan". Xie Jinyin raised his sword to meet him, and suddenly moved the sword like the wind, stabbing, stabbing and slashing, casting out sword shadows all over the sky, the heavy sword net trapped Taoist Qingfeng in it, like a fish in a net. Although Daoist Qingfeng was all on the defensive, his defense was tight, and he did not show defeat under Xie Jinyin's fierce offensive. Xie Jinyin suddenly retracted his sword and came back, and said with a long smile: "Wudang Town Watching swordsmanship is really extraordinary. In the first battle last time, I saw that the Taoist master had some reservations about his own strength. Now he has finally been tested by a certain family... " The conversation was interrupted suddenly. It turned out that they were all startled by the sound of footsteps. What came was a man in black wearing a bamboo hat. His steps were loud and heavy. As the sounds of "cracking" and "squatting" got closer, he naturally formed a firm momentum. Xie Jinyin's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Tonight in a deserted place, on a westerly night, I have to meet my old friend again and again, what a blessing." The man in black wore a bamboo hat very low on his head, covering most of his face, but Xie Jinyin only had a glance at his figure, and he had already guessed his identity. The man in black said: "You're welcome! You're welcome!" Xie Jinyin said: "It's been many years since I left Cuihu Lake. I think about the scene at that time again and again. I don't want the handsome man to remain as handsome. I'm really happy to congratulate." The man in black was indeed Mo Yunshou who also possesses the identity of the commander of the ghost axe. He slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, and said slowly: "After such a long time, it is rare that brother Xie has not given up on the old man. Forget it, it shows that you are also a man of temperament, an ignorant person in the world, mistakenly think that Brother Xie is ruthless, it is really a thousand miles away." He smiled lightly and saluted Xie Jinyin. Xie Jinyin also clasped his hands to answer, then took a few steps backwards, his voice became deep and ruthless: "It's over now, what can the commander-in-chief teach?" Mo Yun raised his hand to the sky and laughed loudly, "Do you still need to ask?" Xie Jinyin said: "Very well, you can draw the road." Mo Yun said softly with his hands: "The situation is very obvious, Xian Kunzhong is alone, if he wants to leave this place tonight, I'm afraid there is no hope..." Xie Jinyin looked around, but saw that Zhen, Wu, Taoist Qingfeng and others had all taken their positions, and the three men in different clothes also stopped on the path. These people are all outstanding people who are rare in the world. With them guarding the surrounding area, it is really more difficult to fly across than to be surrounded by thousands of troops. But he was still as calm as ever, and said leisurely: "That may not be the case." Mo Yunshou smiled, and said: "A bird in a cage sometimes doesn't know that a catastrophe is imminent, so it's no wonder you think so. Just now I saw a young man hiding near a deserted house. Like you, you think you are hiding something secret, but you don’t know that calamity is just around the corner, hey! Hey!” Xie Jinyin's thoughts moved slightly, thinking of the two little beetles that fell from the wine glass, he couldn't help asking: "Who is that boy?" Mo Yun said with his hands: "The old man has only met him twice, and learned that his name is Zhao Ziyuan." Xie Jinyin's heart was shocked for no reason, and said: "How did you deal with him?" Mo Yun said: "Originally, the old man wanted to split him in half with an axe, but he changed his mind temporarily, and temporarily let his two soul-calling demons watch him secretly, to see what he is up to, and then..." Xie Jinyin pretended to be indifferent and said: "That boy has nothing to do with the festival between us, why are you talking about him!" Mo Yun smiled slyly and said: "It's quite easy to say, you are an old man and don't know that the boy surnamed Zhao is you..." Xie Jinyin gritted his teeth, his eyes gleamed with resentment, and he immediately extended his long sword. Moyun was forced to stop talking, and he drew the big ax around his waist to meet him. Xie Jinyin's move was extremely dangerous and fast, and if he had changed another opponent, he would definitely not be able to block his strike, but Mo Yunshou is one of the few seniors in the world, and his quick response is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Can and, as soon as he heard the wind of the sword, he took out his ax and took his sword forcefully. He said in his mouth: "Brother Xie, why do you need to rush to do it?" Although his ax was slow to seal it out by a line, it still did not fail. With the sound of "Dang", the two sides handed over their weapons and each took a step back. Xie Jinyin remained silent, the sword in his hand spilled several sword flowers, and attacked Mo Yun's hand without hesitation. The strange thing is that after Mo Yunshou received a move, he didn't show any desire to fight, but just backed away again and again, his body skills were strange and dexterous. Xie Jinyin said sharply: "Why did the commander retreat without fighting?" Mo Yunshou laughed violently and said, "Brother Xie, let's accompany Master Zhen and Master Wu first to feed and recruit, as for the old man? He suddenly became very interested in Brother Ling, and I will come to him to try the ghost axe." Sharp..." After saying that, he immediately withdrew and withdrew, swiping the big black ax in his hand in the air, flashing a black and cold light, and rushed towards Xie Jinzhang. The timing of this withdrawal from Yueren was perfect, and Xie Jinyin couldn't make any plans to pursue him. Obviously, the other party had a tacit understanding. With his hands in the air, Mo Yun said with a sinister smile, "Second brother of the Xie family, do you want to see the extraordinary kung fu of the Ghost Axe?" Xie Jinzhang's eyes fell on the ax in the opponent's hand unconsciously, and suddenly, goose bumps appeared all over his body, as if the black color on the ax exuded an indescribably sinister atmosphere. The moment his heart trembled, the Moyun hand in the air, with the momentum of thunder and hooks, smashed down with his head... Xie Jinyin was wondering why Mo Yunshou left him and shifted his target to the second brother, when he glanced at Jingtong, he saw Xie Jinzhang's dangerous situation; he couldn't help but blurted out: "Second brother, be careful—" Xie Jinzhang suddenly woke up when he heard the shouting. He opened his eyes wide and suddenly turned sideways, leaning forward with his arms. Namoyun's ghost ax attack was faster than the lightning, and he exhaled suddenly and left his body. When his feet touched the ground, his body leaned forward, and the big ax just hit Xie Jinzhang. Xie Jinzhang made a mistake, lost his opportunity, and was in an extremely dangerous situation, but with his skill, he was able to dodge the ax in time. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of several black shadows appearing on the left side of the barren grave , Immediately his eyes straightened. Moyun struck with an axe, and Xie Jinzhang fell seven or eight feet away. Mo Yun let out a piercing laugh, and pointed with a halberd: "Brother Xie, turn around and look at your second brother." Xie Jinyin couldn't help looking to the left, but seeing that Xie Jinzhang was hit by Moyun's axe, he fell down in response to the situation, and he couldn't tell whether he was dead or injured from a distance?
