Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Lu Xiaofeng rushed to Huainan in a hurry, fearing that before the others arrived, the two had already started fighting.

Thank goodness it didn't.

When Lu Xiaofeng came over, Ximen Chuuxue was practicing sword, and Lin Ning stood not far away to watch him practice sword.

The atmosphere is very peaceful.

Lu Xiaofeng: "??"

It's not what he thought, but whatever, it's fine.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and greeted Lin Ning first: "Brother Lin, let's meet again."

Lin Ning nodded slightly: "I knew you would come."

Lu Xiaofeng boasted to himself: "For my friends, I have always been obliged to do so."

This is true, it's just that Lu Xiaofeng is often tricked by his friends.Look at the original book, from Huo Xiu to Jin Jiuling to Mu Daoren, which one is not his friend.Lu Xiaofeng didn't doubt life until later, and even made things difficult for him.Lin Ning's thoughts were quickly dismissed by her, and she briefly talked about the accident with Lu Xiaofeng.

In fact, this accident can be summed up in two sentences:

Which Hai Qikuo is real?

Is there any inside story in this?

One of them, Hai Qikuo, was killed by Lin Ning in the downtown area, and the body is still there; the other was killed by Ximen Chuuxue in the swamp. It is not easy to salvage the body.

Lu Xiaofeng was about to listen to Lin Ning's detailed explanation, but saw that Ximen Chuuxue had finished practicing the sword, so he went to say hello to Ximen Chuuxue first, and asked him the doubts in his heart. With the temperament of staying outside, Lu Xiaofeng is quite surprised that he has not returned to Wanmei Villa now.

Ximen Chuuxue gave him a cold look: "Gao Tao also died in the swamp."

Gao Tao is the third sect master of the Fengwei Gang. He was chased and killed by Ximen Chuuxue because of collaborating with the enemy and judging his friends. After fleeing for twelve days, he was killed in the swamp.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly understood: "Oh, you suspect that you have hunted down the person, and you may have found a scapegoat? All right, I will find out this matter with Brother Lin, and you can go back to Wanmei Villa and wait for news. By the way, how are you and Ms. Sun?" Miss Sun was talking about Sun Xiuqing. During the Tsing Yi Lou case, Sun Xiuqing was shot by Shangguan Feiyan and went to Wanmei Villa to recuperate, and Lu Xiaofeng also knew that she had treated Ximen Chuuxue's intentional matter is just such a joke now.

Ximen Chuuxue said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."

That's what he said, but Lu Xiaofeng saw the warmth and joy in his eyes, he immediately understood everything, and was especially happy for Ximen Chuuxue: "Although I really didn't expect you to have a day of falling in love, but I know that you are not only not afraid Women also like women, so I am relieved."

Ximen Fuxue: "?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "...I mean, remember to ask me to ask for a wedding wine when you get married."

Ximen Chuuxue only said: "Wanmei Villa will not welcome you."

Just took his sword, turned and left.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, for a moment he even thought that Ximen Chuuxue would poke a hole in his body, but luckily he didn't, he already had enough holes.Turning around, Lu Xiaofeng walked back as if nothing had happened, and met the calm Lin Ning, who immediately yelled, "Brother Lin, you really screwed me over!"

Lin Ning said seriously: "Then you can remember that when you see Ye Gucheng, don't be so outspoken."

Lu Xiaofeng: "...I accept your good words."

But he didn't take this matter to heart, "Speaking of which, I haven't had the luck to meet Baiyun City Lord, only heard of his reputation as a flying fairy with one sword."

Lin Ning said, "Me too."

But Lu Xiaofeng didn't talk about Ye Gucheng any more, he said enthusiastically: "Come on, let's continue talking about the true and false Hai Qikuo case."

Regarding this, Lin Ning is very clear about the truth.It's just that she can't confide all the truth she knows, at least not that the old knife handle of Ghost Villa is Mu Taoist.Lin Ning has no evidence so far. Even if she reveals that she is Ye Xue now, Ye Xue only knows where the ghost villa is and that there is an old knife in the ghost villa, but he never knows who the old knife is. .

There are very few people in this world who know the true identity of the old knife handle, and Layman Gu Song is one of them.Shi He was one of Mu Taoist's disciples in the past. Shi He also violated the Qing rules and missed the position of head of Wudang. He self-destructed and disappeared from the rivers and lakes. With the intention of the villa, Shihe followed Taoist Mu to create the Ghost Villa; in addition, there was Ye Lingfeng, who had an affair with Shen Sanniang back then. After being discovered by Taoist Mu, Taoist Mu knocked Ye Lingfeng off the cliff. It's almost dead.

It can be said that those who know that the old knife handle is Taoist Mu, except for the Gusong layman, are all in the ghost villa, and they are also absolute fans of Taoist Mu.Even if Lin Ning knew this, he couldn't find them for no reason, he had to get there step by step.

But she is very familiar with this kind of thing, so it is naturally handy to do it.

After telling Lu Xiaofeng in detail what she had gained in the past few days, Lu Xiaofeng also realized that Hai Qikuo might not just find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Next, they split into two groups.

Lin Ning continued to pursue the clues she found, while Lu Xiaofeng went to find friends to salvage Hai Qikuo's body from the swamp.

It was a coincidence that Lu Xiaofeng was approached by someone not long after he left the house.

This person is Hai Qikuo's deadly enemy, Flying on the Yangtze River.

Shui Shangfei not only helped salvage the body, but also told Lu Xiaofeng one thing.

Lu Xiaofeng turned around and talked to Lin Ning. It turned out that Changjiang Shuishangfei knew about the Ghost Villa organization a few years ago, but he couldn't find any clues, and not only did he know that Bashan Little Gu Daoist, the Twelve-Series Wu Yingyan Laoqi, Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Gang all know about it, and they have been trying to eradicate the cancer of the martial arts in the Ghost Villa, so some spies were sent in, but the boss of the Ghost Villa is also an old swordsman. no progress.

Now that the two Hai Qikuo were killed, and Hai Qikuo died in the swamp, Changjiang Shuishangfei immediately thought of the Ghost Villa, after all, this is their usual mode.It is also mentioned that to enter the ghost villa, you need to pay 10 taels first.

Lin Ning said: "Hai Qikuo withdrew 10 taels from the bank sixteen days ago."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a while and said, "Sixteen days ago? That's when Ximen started hunting him down."

"It seems that Hai Qikuo and Ghost Villa have taken over," Changjiang Shuishang Fei sighed, "Now that Ximen Hero and Lin Shaoxia have killed a pair of Hai Qikuo, there is a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes. If you come to Ghost Villa, you will get it too." News, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to catch their flaws in the future."

"That's not necessarily true." Lu Xiaofeng puffed out his chest and said, "Who doesn't know that I, Lu Xiaofeng, love to meddle in other people's business, and if I join this time, the Ghost Villa will definitely be afraid that I will find out something, and will definitely do something when the time comes , and in the current situation, we are not afraid of what they will do, but we are afraid of what they will not do.”

Changjiang Shuishangfei was thoughtful: "It is indeed the truth, but you are a bit too boastful because you are too big to sell melons."

Lu Xiaofeng cupped his hands: "It's easy to talk about."

Seeing this, Changjiang Shuishangfei couldn't help laughing.

Lin Ning couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaofeng one more time, and when she flew away on the Yangtze River, she sincerely said to Lu Xiaofeng: "You are really a lovely person." Now she has completely lost the idea of ​​"killing a chicken in the cold sky".

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Brother Lin, are you touched by my act of self-sacrifice?"

Lin Ning said seriously: "Yes, I was so moved that I almost cried."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

"You're not cute anymore," Lu Xiaofeng changed the subject, "Besides, I just showed my nobility in front of Shui Shangfei, but in fact, if it is true as he said, the Ghost Villa has been hidden in the dark for many years, but it has not been discovered. If the sects catch a few clues, then the energy of the Ghost Villa may be beyond imagination, and whether it is you, me, or Ximen, they will all be their targets."

Lin Ning nodded: "I know."

Lin Ning suddenly became less interested, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch the two small wooden carvings hanging around her waist.

Lu Xiaofeng saw it, and wanted to ask out of curiosity, but he just opened his mouth and couldn't speak.For a moment, what he thought was that Hua Manlou's intuition was always right.

As Lu Xiaofeng said, what they have to do now is to wait and see what happens, and wait for it to move.

Taoist Mu really knew about the appearance of a pair of Hai Qikuo very quickly, and he also knew who was involved in it.

If he is just an ordinary person, there is no need for him to feel jealous at all.

But this time, not only Ximen Chuuxue, one of the two great contemporary swordsmen, but also Lu Xiaofeng, and Lin Ning who came out of nowhere.

Needless to say, Ximen Chuuxue, Taoist Mu was not sure if he was his opponent, just from the point of view of swordsmanship;

Lu Xiaofeng has been famous for a long time, Taoist Mu couldn't be more clear about his past deeds, let alone the recent King Jinpeng case, from Dugu Yihe to Huo Tianqing to Huo Xiu, each of these extraordinary figures, all In the end, it fell into Lu Xiaofeng's hands, who knows what he would find out if he intervened to investigate the Ghost Villa;

As for Lin Ning?Mu Taoist had heard about 'he' letting Aunt Gongsun and Jin Jiuling, the chief arrester of the Six Doors, fall into 'his' hands one after another.Although the Red Shoes organization is not as hidden as the Ghost Villa, few people know about it, so what happened?Now being reviled by others; Jin Jiuling, a member of the public family, also fell into the pit.If it is said that Lin Ning was just lucky, Mu Taoist would not believe it, not to mention that this person's swordsmanship is not ordinary, 'he' and Lu Xiaofeng came together to investigate the ghost villa, this is definitely not what Mu Taoist wants to see.

Taoist Mu thought for a while, then sneered.

However, in two days, everyone in the world knew one thing. Lin Ning, a young swordsman whose talent was rarely seen in a hundred years, had an appointment to fight Ximen Chuuxue, one of the two great swordsmen of our time.

The place of the decisive battle is Zijin Mountain, and the time is August [-]th.

It was the end of July at this time, which meant that it was not long at all.

Regarding this duel, people in the Jianghu did not doubt that it was just a rumor. After all, Lin Ning, the young swordsman who defeated Aunt Gongsun and Jin Jiuling, let alone Ximen Chuuxue, who in this Jianghu would dare to make fun of him.Not to mention that there is a previous story as a foreshadowing, which is naturally that the two of them each killed a "one-armed dragon" Hai Qikuo.

Now that things have happened, people in Jianghu no longer discuss which Hai Qikuo is real and which Hai Qikuo is fake. They just want to go to Zijin Mountain and watch this rare decisive battle.However, it's not a good idea to bet on which of them will win. From their point of view, Ximen Fuxue is naturally better, but this does not prevent them from wanting to watch this decisive battle at all.

However, the fact is that Lin Ning and Ximen Chuuxue did not engage in a fight.

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng heard the news, his complexion became ugly, and his heart sank. He knew very well that it was spread by the people from Ghost Villa, and the purpose was to put Ximen Chuuxue and Lin Ning on the fire to roast. Let them have to fight in Zijin Mountain.

After all, the people in Jianghu don't care if they haven't made an appointment, they only know that they have already made an appointment, and they will definitely show up in Zijin Mountain on August [-]th.

If they didn't show up, what awaited them would be the suspicion and contempt of the people in the world.

However, Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to see this kind of situation.

No, this was not the last thing he wanted to see.

After Ximen Chuuxue heard about this, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

He had seen Lin Ning practice swords, and thought that this was a worthy opponent. To him, this was the biggest gain of his trip.

Lu Xiaofeng's scalp was numb: "Ximen, wait a minute, this is a trap!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ning. He thought that Lin Ning would be more sensible, but when he saw 'him' smiling, his brows and eyes were crooked, making him even think it was a wry smile.Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt tired: "Can I ask what you are laughing at, Brother Lin?"

Lin Ning smiled and said, "I'm laughing, this trap is in my arms."

Lu Xiaofeng said firmly: "I don't believe it!"

Ximen Fuxue: "Okay."

Lu Xiaofeng: "...didn't talk to you!"

Ximen Chuixue: "..."

Lin Ning met Lu Xiaofeng's resentful gaze: "Then I have nothing to say."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..." He was exhausted physically and mentally.

Lin Ning, she just thought that she seemed to have snatched Ye Gucheng's role in advance. After all, in the original book, because Ye Gucheng participated in the rebellion of King Pingnan, he first asked Ximen Chuuxue to fight in Zijin Mountain, and the time happened to be eighth. the fifteenth day of the month.Now Taoist Mu wanted to make them feel bad about this, but unexpectedly chose August [-]th, the Mountain of Purple Gold. I don't know how to describe this wonderful fate.

Also, Taoist Mu's move was simply enlightening, that is, why did she bother to prove that Taoist Mu is the old knife handle of Ghost Villa, she can directly challenge Mu Taoist.

Originally, Lin Ning didn't want to use such a simple and rude way. Even the battle of Zijin Mountain caused by Mu Taoist, she also had a way to resolve it, but she thought of Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue who could be said to have been mixed in by her in advance , even though she knew they could deal with the Ghost Villa, she still felt bad about it.

So it's better to cut the mess quickly.

Thinking about this, Lin Ning said again: "Speaking of which, since I left the sect, the opponents I have met are only two and a half, Aunt Gongsun, Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng. Well, Lu Xiaofeng, you are the half, I I didn't regard you as a complete opponent. In fact, the battle with Ximen is inevitable now. Even if it's not now, it will be in the future. It's better to end it this time, but before that, I want to challenge another one people."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "Who?"

Lin Ning said: "Taoist Mu."

Lu Xiaofeng said "ah", he didn't expect that Lin Ning would nominate Mu Taoist, but after thinking about it, Mu Taoist is one of the six people who are recognized as having perfected internal and external skills, and now he is the only one left among the six. Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng.Furthermore, Taoist Mu's swordsmanship is also very good. He calls himself "the third swordsmanship", and there is no objection in the world.

Lin Ning added half-truthfully: "He has a relationship with me, and I will be a teacher this time, and there are some reasons for him."

Lu Xiaofeng was very curious, but he didn't think it was easy to ask, so he didn't ask in the end.He was not worried about the decisive battle between Lin Ning and Taoist Mu, because he knew very well that neither Taoist Mu's swordsmanship nor Lin Ning's swordsmanship was Ximen Chuuxue's murderous swordsmanship. He would either win or die, and this was the main reason why he didn't want to see Ximen Chuuxue and Lin Ning go to Zijin Mountain for a decisive battle.

Ximen Chuuxue stood up at this moment, his eyes were as bright as cold stars: "I'll wait for you."

Lin Ning nodded: "OK."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Wait, the problem is still not resolved!

Isn't that right? When Taoist Mu saw the challenge letter sent by Shi Yan, the current head of the Wudang School, he almost thought the same way.He knows exactly what Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship is, and he also knows how to scratch the itch of a peerless swordsman like him. That is to give him a worthy opponent. In this way, after the battle of Zijin Mountain, Ximen Chuuxue One of Lin Ningzhong and Lin Ningzhong must die, and he still doesn't believe that a smart person like Lu Xiaofeng would not understand, no matter what they think, they will definitely stop because of the death of one of them.

It doesn't matter if you don't stop, Taoist Mu still has a back move.

But Taoist Mu never expected that Lin Ning would challenge Ximen Chuuxue before fighting him.

What's more, this letter of challenge was not transferred directly to him, but through Shi Yan.If there is anyone in this world who knows the secret of his past, then Shi Yan must be one of them.

It turned out that Mu Taoist was discovered by the Wudang sect when he violated the Qing rules, and what he did was recorded and stored in the hilt of the seven-star sword that only the head of the Wudang sect can wear.This is to remind Mu Taoist of the mistakes he has made, and it is also the biggest obstacle preventing him from ascending to the top of the Wudang sect. The ultimate goal of the subsequent Tianlei operation is to capture the seven-star sword and destroy the evidence.

Now at this stall, Taoist Mu couldn't help but doubt it.

Did Lin Ning and the others already know that he was a veteran?

Mu Taoist denied this conjecture in a second thought, and it is impossible for anyone who knows this to betray him.Then they may know the existence of Ghost Villa, but they don't know that he is the chief executive of Ghost Villa.

But Taoist Mu thought of his daughter Ye Xue again. It had been more than two years, and Ye Xue seemed to have completely disappeared.On the way to find her, he let Taoist Mu know that Ye Lingfeng survived by luck. Taoist Mu also suspected that Ye Lingfeng took Ye Xue away in order to avenge him, but it turned out not to be the case.

It's not that Taoist Mu didn't worry that Ye Xue would be taken away and the ghost villa would be exposed, but two years later, he still hasn't.

Like this, Taoist Mu put Ye Xue's matter aside for the time being, and then analyzed the matter of Lin Ning's appointment to fight him.

After much deliberation, Taoist Mu thinks that he has no reason not to agree. He has a great reputation in the Jianghu. It can be said that he is the kind of virtuous and respected. look at him.

Furthermore, Taoist Mu also wanted to take the opportunity to insinuate how they checked the Ghost Villa.

Most importantly, Mu Daoren didn't think he would be defeated.

So Mu Taoist agreed to the challenge and returned to Wudang Mountain within a few days.

The place where Lin Ning made an appointment to fight Mu Taoist was in Wudang Mountain.

This time the decisive battle between the two of them was not as well known as the one between her and Ximen Chuuxue.This time it was relatively quiet, and not many people knew about it. On the day of the decisive battle, apart from the two parties involved, only Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Gu Song layman who had always been inseparable from Taoist Mu, and the head of the Wudang School The doorman Shi Yan.

Mu Daoren is old, wearing Taoist robes and a Taoist crown, with kind eyebrows, very friendly, and as the second only to the head of the Wudang School, he also has many fans in the Wudang School.In fact, for so many years, he has indeed controlled some Wudang disciples, making them regard him as more worthy of following than the leader, thinking that one day he will become the leader of the Wudang faction, and then he will be able to secure the leader of the Wudang faction.

Looking at Lin Ning again, it is not without reason that many people in the world call her a young swordsman.She looks no more than 20 years old, and she still has a youthful look, with picturesque eyebrows, and looks a little younger than her actual age, which makes her not seem like a master at first glance.Furthermore, even though her eyes are sharp and bright, the grass cage hanging on her waist and the two wooden carvings make her look a little childish.

This decisive battle seems to be decided without a contest.

Lin Ning glanced at Taoist Mu, then looked away. She untied the grass cage and handed it to Huamanlou along with the crickets inside: "You can keep it for me."

Hua Manlou frowned, and soon relaxed again: "I don't have any experience in raising crickets, and you will have to raise them next."

Lin Ning didn't answer his question, but looked at Mu Taoist, who had kind eyes and kind eyes: "Life and death are determined, wealth and honor depend on the sky."

Taoist Mu was in a daze for a moment, but soon he calmed down, and when he looked at Lin Ning again, he returned to normal. In his heart, he didn't take Lin Ning's idea of ​​deciding life and death with him, in his opinion There are only two sword geniuses like Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng in hundreds of years, and he himself has never been slack for a day in all these years.

Life and death are life and death!
