Peach Blossom Button

Chapter 55

This old man is naturally the old man Zhong who was ordered to guard the sword pool of the Divine Sword Valley for many years.

Tan Taiying secretly deployed guards in the Fengjian Pond, and came here early in the morning with Yun Yueyu and others from the Chongxuan School, but because Tan Taiying's maid A Ning called old man Zhong away temporarily, another incident occurred. an event.

This sudden pain in the heart is strange to say, it came and went quickly, just now Bai Wangyan's heart was so painful that his lips turned white, but now it was relieved in an instant, and because of hearing "A Ning "The word and all of a sudden sober.This Ah Ning hadn't been seen since she came out of the Yunlai hall. Bai Wangyan was suspicious of the woman, and Tao Mo didn't let Tao Mo enjoy the food he brought. After that, she didn't take it seriously, but Just when our group came to Fengjianchi to look for clues, the woman called away the old man guarding Fengjianchi. Could it be too coincidental?

"If she doesn't go to the meeting to help, why is she looking for you all the way?" Tan Taiying was also a little surprised, yesterday he was busy with affairs, and he had to entertain Bai Tao and his wife, and he was so entangled with the matter of the Chongxuan Sect that he didn't have time to take care of it The maid who accompanied him day and night.According to the rules of the Divine Sword Valley, on the day of the Sword Tasting Conference, if the task is not assigned in advance, all the servants in the valley should go to the Sword Tasting Conference to help. People from the rivers and lakes sneaked into the sword tasting conference as servants.But Ah Ning, as Master Shaogu's personal maid, should have been arranged in the venue long ago...

When Tantai Yingming was thinking hard, that old Zhong answered bluntly: "Young girl Ning said she bought a pot of good wine, and she knew that I was bored by this Fengjian Pond, so she brought it to me."

"Where is she?" Bai Wangyan asked.

"Of course I went back," Lao Zhong smacked his lips, "The wine tastes really good...it's good wine! Master Shaogu, are you and these Taoist priests going to Fengjianchi to deal with something? I'll take it with you How many of you go in."

Hearing this, Bai Wangyan cast his eyes on Tantai Ying, Master Shaogu was also at a loss, but seeing the old man pass them and walk towards Feng Jianchi, he could only say: "No, we still If there is something important, go ahead."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Wangyan yelled out. He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he still put on a smile, and he cupped his hands at the old man Zhong: "Mr. Zhong, I don't know. Besides guarding Feng Jianchi, what other work do you usually do?"

Asked by Bai Wangyan, the old man stopped in his tracks for an instant, and turned around with a stern look in his eyes.This attitude made Bai Wangyan feel a little scared in his heart, but the old man's attitude and Tantai Ying's surprised eyes beside him also proved that he was right!

The old man Zhong squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the handsome young man sitting on the back of the white horse. A shadow with a similar figure flashed in his mind, but only from the appearance, the two were completely different... He withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand like a crouching dragon, and groped around his waist, but it was all sorted out by Qingqing, please pay attention to more exciting things, his expression changed from suspicion and alert just now to panic, tiger eyes Turning back and forth in the eye sockets, the old man's extremely resonant voice was exhausted: "Young Master, Young Master...the key, the key is gone!"

"Keys?" Tantaiying gasped, his voice stuttered a little in anxiety, "What, what! You lost the key?"

Calmly watching the two panic-stricken, Bai Wangyan's eyes drifted to the towering building protruding from the forest, with hexagonal cornices and a peripheral corridor, which echoed the stone sword standing in the distance.

"Could it be... This is terrible!" Tantai Ying's brow was about to burst into flames, he slapped the steed under his crotch, and rushed to the outside of the mountain road as if flying, but he didn't even say a word. Time to say.Bai Wangyan glanced leisurely at the direction where Master Shaogu was leaving, and said to several Taoist priests: "I'm really sorry, the Taoist priests, the situation is urgent now, and the search for clues in Fengjianchi may have to wait until after this matter... ..."

Yun Yueyu discussed with the fellow juniors behind him, and looked at the stone tablet engraved with the word Suojian with some reluctance. He nodded, "The matter is urgent, and the life and death of the younger junior is uncertain. Let's go back first." .”

"it is good."

Several Taoist priests of the Chongxuan sect thanked Bai Wangyan and rode their horses down the mountain.

Watching the Taoist priests gradually turn into black dots on the mountain road and disappearing into the forest, Bai Wangyan was about to leave on horseback when he suddenly turned his face and glanced at the guard Feng Jian standing behind him who had not moved for a long time The old man in Chi, he smiled at the old man: "Mister, you go back first."

"You can hide it from Master Shaogu too much, but you can't hide it from me," the old man felt guilty and panicked because he lost the key. Looking at the white-clothed scholar riding a white horse, he said word by word: "You know, don't you? Don't think I can't see it, you are Shang..."

"You are flattering me too much," the white-clothed scholar quickly interrupted the old man's remaining half of the sentence, and he said with a smile, "I am just a stranger who has never met you, and all my thoughts are just combined with facts It’s just an inference. I don’t need to hide anything.” The last sentence was extremely wordy, and Bai Wangyan smiled at the old man again, “Mr., I’m leaving first. You just don’t want to be punished by the owner of the valley.”

"you!"

As the smile deepened, the peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, just like a white fox, Bai Wangyan couldn't help chuckling, he gripped the reins tightly, pinched the horse's belly, and rode away from the sword pool In front of him, only the suddenly slumped old man was left.

And within the Sword Tasting Conference...

"Those who participated in the Sword Tasting Conference turned out to be embroidered pillows with loose martial arts!"

Muttering in dissatisfaction, the lunatic in the tattered Tai Chi Taoist robe kicked another challenger off the stage.Few people dared to go forward to fight rashly, but this first discouraged a few people, and then beat those swordsmen who dared to come to the challenge to death—even without drawing their swords, this Lou Yueming of Chongxuan sect can be called Occupying the limelight of this sword tasting conference, many people in the conference complained about his behavior.

"Why do you let this lunatic play wild on stage!"

"The well-known Sword Tasting Conference is like a farce! What is there to eat in the Divine Sword Valley, and I won't come and drag him down!"

"The Chongxuan sect actually sent him here! Isn't this intentional to make trouble!"

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, the several masters of swordsmanship sitting on the stage just shook their heads and chuckled.

"Unexpectedly, in the past ten years, this Chongxuan sect has produced such a master..." The person who spoke was an old man with white hair and a childlike face, his eyes were always fixed on the central person, and he said with a smile, " To be able to penetrate this 'unity of man and sword' at such a young age is indeed an immeasurable future."

"I heard that Lou Yueming is the apprentice of Xuan Linzi from the Chongxuan Sect. It really is a disciple like a master..."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It's time for us old bones to really retire."

"Hahaha, old man Yanghong, you said it so lightly," another old man in green shirt said with a smile, "If you are really retiring, sink that precious Wuxin sword into the sword sealing pool! You can't let go of this Jianghu, I know!"

"You guys haven't had a good time yet, how dare I retire first! It's just talk," the old man in black said with a smile, "Besides, I haven't met a kid who is a good match for me at this sword tasting meeting. There is no successor, how dare you seal the sword!"

"I think you should learn from the owner of Yunyin Island. The successors of the Stratus Eighteen Swords are now all over the world, and the garden is full of peaches and plums!"

"Hmph, how can I pass on my special skills so easily," the old man in Xuanyi snorted, his eyes drifted to the stage, he propped his chin with his hand, as if feeling quite bored, he couldn't help muttering, "This world Swordsman, no one can defeat this kid? It's really boring..."

The people on the stage were even more boring, frustrated the spirit of the swordsman on the spot, and the result was that there was no one to fight. Lou Yueming wandered around for a long time, and finally sat on the stage rather boringly, holding the sword in his arms. With strangely shaped swords, he stretched out his fingers and pointed at the people he had defeated just now: "Tsk, this one has beaten the Yujian Sword, Jiangnan Thirteen Swords... How many have you beaten from Yunyin Island? I can't remember... ..." He scratched his unkempt hair, "Master said it's fun here, why didn't I think so."

Suddenly, a person came up on the stage without making a sound. This person had a small scar on his cheek, was dressed in black like ink, and carried an equally black sword. In front of him, he clasped his fists: "Please enlighten me."

Lou Yueming saw that this person was dressed in pitch black and his actions were simple. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't match the name of a certain swordsman in the Jianghu.He wasted a lot of time on those who were inferior to him in martial arts. Although he was a little bored now, out of courtesy to the challenger, the lunatic still grabbed his sword and barely stood up, dusted off the worn Taoist robe behind him, Made a gesture: "Please."

The swordsman in black was none other than Tao Mo.

Tao Mo watched the sword idiot under the stage for a long time, but he didn't see Lou Yueming unleashing the sword. He saw the surrounding warriors being beaten by him one by one and leaving the stage one by one. "The sword was so easy for him to get, and in vain he forgot his expectations for himself, so he went to the stage clutching his "Zhaohua".

Unlike other swordsmen, after Lou Yueming said these two words, he put his hand on the hilt of his sword and pretended to pull it out, but his body turned to the side. At this moment, a sharp sword energy brushed against his ear and cut off a strand of hair from his temple.

"Oh?" Lou Yueming raised her eyebrows when she saw that the sword energy hadn't sent the black-clothed swordsman flying, and suddenly became interested in this swordsman.But at this moment, the pitch-black sword had shed its scabbard, and a bright brilliance shone from it, stabbing straight at him.
