After Waking up Beside the Villain

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, before dawn, there was a rooster crowing, and Chu Yunsheng heard the sound of clanging swords in the courtyard.

He opened his eyes and got up, and spent some time changing into the brand new dress prepared by the maid yesterday. He didn't have any resistance or embarrassment to dressing up as a woman, and his attitude was very natural and magnanimous.

Pulling his hair and pushing the door, Chu Yunsheng stood in the verandah, and saw Xie Chengyun, wearing a neat bunt Tsing Yi, practicing sword on the small martial arts arena opened by a huge stone by the lotus pond.

He didn't practice any peerless swordsmanship, nor did he let out his true energy, he just practiced some basic sword moves in a simple way, repeating them over and over again, tirelessly.

But although this sword move is simple, but Xie Chengyun performed it, but it seems to be unusual.

The chopping and picking are like dragons, weighing more than a thousand jun, slashing and stabbing like thunder, the murderous intent is concise, the hanging and flirting are as delicate as pulling silk, mysterious and hidden inside, the cutting and cutting are like swallow eagles, breaking both movement and stillness.

The clear and narrow sword body is flowing with cold light, and the broken leaves are peeled off. It seems to contain a wonderful Taoist rhyme, which is indistinguishable but beautiful.

Man and sword, sword and nature, seem to be one, when the sword moves, there is wind.

After fetching a basin of water, Chu Yunsheng watched the sword dance while washing in the corridor.

Before going to sleep last night, he thought about the weapons he should use. He thought about swords, spears and sticks, and even some rare strange weapons. Right, it is not suitable for Shengshengyi Daojing, and Qimen is too biased, with little grandeur, which is not enough to carry and transform into the yin and yang palm that he has further comprehended.

After much deliberation, perhaps only the knife can give it a try.

Although this world has no aura, no supernatural powers and spells, the principles of swords and swords have many things in common.

Chu Yunsheng stared intently at Xie Chengyun's sword skills, thinking about Yin Yang Zongheng Zhang and some sword skills he had seen in his memory, and his heart was faintly touched.

gradually.

Light and shadow were cut out from the courtyard wall, and a ray of orange-red and golden morning light jumped out.The mighty light shines brightly, diffuses over the clouds, penetrates the narrow tree gaps, and sprinkles inch by inch into the courtyard, dispelling the fog and brightening the earth.

The blade of the sword passed by, and a thin piece of light was cut off by the edge.With a soft clang, Xie Chengyun retracted his sword and returned it to its sheath.

Beads of sweat rolled on his forehead, his eyes swept across the courtyard, paused for a moment on Chu Yunsheng, then turned around and walked into the main room.

A while later, Xie Chengyun was refreshed, changed into the plain and elegant white robes of the past, and came to Chu Yunsheng with a long box in his hand.

"This pair of knives is one with the sun and one with the moon. The former chooses Yin iron and is forged in the extremely sunny place on the extremely sunny day. The latter chooses Yangshui and is cast in the extremely yin place on the extremely yin day. Containing the spirit of yin and yang transformation, the list of weapons in the Jianghu ranks 72. It can be used temporarily until you find a suitable weapon."

Xie Chengyun's voice was like a jade stone hitting each other, and he said lightly.

Chu Yunsheng wiped his hands clean, opened the box, and saw two short knives inside, one dark silver and the other dark black, and he could faintly feel the icy cold and scorching hot breath.

The shape of these two short knives is exactly the same, the blades are both wider, and they are in one place, like an incomplete Tai Chi, with extraordinary breath.

Even Chu Yunsheng didn't quite understand the ranking of the so-called weapon spectrum, but he still had to praise him: "Good knife."

Hearing this, Xie Chengyun smiled: "I took it from Xie's treasure house, if you like it, you don't have to return it."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yunsheng saw the old servant Uncle Fu who had just returned from outside and appeared in the courtyard paused. He quickly lowered his head and couldn't hide the grief on his face. A faint king who was deceived by his beauty.

Xie Chengyun continued as if he hadn't seen him, and continued: "Today is the day of the martial arts competition in the seven major martial arts halls in Shangjing. I have accepted the invitation and will go to watch the competition. You change your appearance a little, and go with me."

Xie Chengyun was No. 30 on the White Dragon List in the first battle of walking the rivers and lakes. Now six years later, although his number of shots is very small, he still climbed to No. 13.

With such a ranking in the White Dragon Ranking, Xie Chengyun is enough to be a famous hero, watching the battles with those famous people in the world and pointing out some grand martial arts competitions.

Chu Yunsheng had nothing to do with his left and right, so he nodded in response, picked up the two knives, put them into the vacant scabbards in the box, and hung them on the left and right waists respectively.

After explaining about the weapons and going out, the two had a light breakfast in the courtyard, and practiced their kung fu and meditated for a while, then tidied up a bit and rode to the Chonghe Martial Art Museum in the west city of Shangjing.

As the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, Shangjing was neither prosperous nor lively.

As a first-class family with three half-step wandering immortals, the Xie family's ancestral home is in Changning, Bingzhou, and it can be called a giant controlling Changning.The mansion located in Shangjing is also located in the unspeakably expensive East City, surrounded by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and Dingdan powerhouses are like a cloud.

And this kind of dignitary haunts, the road will be extraordinarily wide.

There are two main long streets in the north and south of Dongcheng, with a width of more than fifty feet. If the shops on both sides of the street want to communicate with each other, they have to shout loudly to be heard.

The vendors on both sides are densely packed, and there are thousands of people passing by. While walking around at will, it can still accommodate several horse-drawn carriages driving side by side, and a team of light horses gallop past.

From the quiet house in the midst of the hustle and bustle to the streets full of people, you can see the style of Beijing. The proud atmosphere of the capital and the magnificence of the Central Plains are here.

But after leaving the east city and entering the western city, it is rare to see rich and powerful princes in fine clothes, and most of them are warriors in strong clothes, with swords or knives, full of energy and blood, and radiant.In the streets and alleys, one after another martial arts gyms are crowded, and the flags are fluttering.

There was a time when an idler was bored, he counted the martial arts gyms in the west city of Beijing one by one, and came up with a total of 350 and eight martial arts halls, which is really shocking.

The wind of worshiping martial arts in Shangjing can also be seen.

And in such an atmosphere, it is really not uncommon for the seven major martial arts halls to compete in martial arts.

When Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun arrived at the Martial Arts Field of Chonghe Martial Arts Hall, the surrounding high platforms were already crowded with people, bustling with people, men, women and children.

Under the high platform, the seven martial arts clubs have already arrived, looking at each other, competing with each other, and the atmosphere is already full of excitement before the competition begins.

In addition to people from the martial arts hall, this martial arts competition is also open to the general martial arts people. Anyone who is under the age of 30 can participate, so there are also many people in the venue who are eager to try.

On the edge of the martial arts arena, another platform was set up right in front of a circle of high platforms, on which were placed eight grand master chairs, and small tables, refreshments and tea.

At this time, there were five people sitting on the eight chairs, three of them were quite old, and they should be famous experts in the Hanshen Realm of Shangjing, or half-step Dingdan.

This kind of martial arts competition in the Hanshen Realm, the real Dingdan expert will not participate, the Hanshen Dingdan has two layers, and the Dingdan realm is like a child learning to walk in the Hanshen Realm, and there is no interest in watching the battle or giving pointers.

The other two are about the same age as Xie Chengyun. One has a square face, holds a folding fan, and is dressed as an elegant scholar, and the other has long hair loose, wearing black clothes, and carrying an epee. They are all very imposing.

"No.18 of the White Dragon List, 'Jade Fan Tanhua' Fang Wenmin, the first in the world's Four Views, the direct successor of Taiyi Taoist Palace. No.20, 'Sword Breaking the Canglan' Li Ming, a disciple of the famous Shushan Sword School."

Xie Chengyun spoke concisely in a low voice, and led Chu Yunsheng off his horse to the high platform.

"Thank you brother!"

Seeing Xie Chengyun's arrival, all five people on the high platform stood up. Fang Wenmin and Xie Chengyun were acquainted friends, waved their fans, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Chai said that you are invited to this martial arts meeting. I still don't believe it. You were still in Miaojiang last month, and you killed the three major Miao village masters in Nanhu Road with your sword, but you returned to Shangjing in the blink of an eye."

"If I go to fight, I will exchange my wounds for wounds, and I will have to recuperate for a long time. Fortunately, you have rushed all the way back to Shangjing, and you still have the mind to watch the martial arts. It is really incomparable."

Xie Chengyun saluted with several people one by one, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang's words really discouraged me, it's not like you don't know that my skills are better at group battles."

"Don't stand tired, sit, sit."

A half-step alchemist Su Lao pointed to the chair and said with a smile: "Xie Shaoxia left Beijing as a young man and hasn't returned for several years. I regret that I haven't seen each other. Today I saw him. He really is a young talent with outstanding strength."

"Hey, Lao Feng, you are not just regretful. When Xie Shaoxia first entered the White Dragon Ranking at the age of 14, you saw it at first sight, but you cried for a long time. It's nothing else, it's because you were proud of your status back then and didn't want to be thanked. I want to be an enlightened martial artist at home, and I forcibly missed the opportunity to be the master of Bailongbang, I regret it!"

An old man with white beard on the chair on the left looked like a Maitreya, and laughed and taunted.

Feng Lao scolded: "Fuck you old man! If this matter is left on you, will you not regret it?"

While laughing and cursing, several people gradually became familiar with each other.

Xie Chengyun sat on the second chair on the right, and Chu Yunsheng stood behind him, deliberately weakening his sense of existence and not being conspicuous.

But as soon as he stood still, Chu Yunsheng still received a deliberate gaze. He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the person looking at him was the No. 20 No. [-] "Sword Breaking the Canglan" on the White Dragon List Li Ming.

However, although Li Ming looked at her carefully, he didn't see the man's admiration or evil intentions for the woman in his eyes, but a little bit of bewilderment.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Ming turned his head to look at Xie Chengyun, and said through Fang Wenmin, "Brother Xie, is this your new sword servant?"

These words successfully attracted the attention from the high platform to Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng's face remained motionless, with his head slightly lowered, and a layer of makeup was applied on his facial features on the basis of the bone shrinking skill, which was already indistinguishable from Ji Ling's appearance, less bright and eye-catching, more elegant and dignified, and matched with She was dressed in a water-green dress, which was extraordinarily quiet and elegant, and she was completely different from the witch Ji Ling.Naturally, it couldn't match Chu Yunsheng himself.

"Sword servant?"

Fang Wenmin was also stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Brother Xie, could it be that your sword technique is about to enter the realm of no sword and no self?"

A sword attendant, as the name suggests, is a person who holds a sword.

Ordinary swordsmen regard a sword as their life and will not let go of it easily, but if their swordsmanship has reached the stage of perfection, and they have entered the realm of understanding the truth of the sword without a sword and without self, they will often leave the sword temporarily. Need a sword attendant who stays by your side and never leaves, give the sword when you use it, and forget it when you don’t use it, and realize that there is no sword between the sword and the sword, and understand that there is a sword.

Suddenly, there was another person beside Xie Chengyun. If it was a maid, it should not be in the late stage of Hanshen. If it was a guard, but its cultivation base was too low, the only explanation was the sword servant.

"Xie Shaoxia wants to enter Wujianwuwu?"

The other three elders were also shocked.

Wujianwuwo is usually only comprehended in the Dingdan realm, Xie Chengyun is only in the Containing God realm.

Under the shocked gazes, Xie Chengyun shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's just a little bit of enlightenment, and it's still far away from the realm of no sword and no self. Finding Chuchu as a sword servant just happened to have eyes. Fate, it’s all about being prepared.”

Everyone understands, and a little understanding is just a modest word.

Feng Lao sighed: "Young genius."

Fang Wenmin smiled wryly and said: "There is only a five place difference between you and me on the White Dragon Ranking. It's as if there is such a big difference. It's very hopeless."

"Martial arts is the most important thing to be slack." Li Ming glanced at Fang Wenmin, "Since you came to Shangjing, you have been sleeping in flowers and willows, reciting poems and making mistakes. It has been many days since you have not practiced martial arts well. It is natural that you are not as good as Brother Xie."

Fang Wenmin's face was reddish, and he shook his fan in embarrassment: "Brother Li, with so many people, can you save me some face?"

Li Ming ignored it, looked at Xie Chengyun, and said: "You want to enter Wujianwuwu, how do you want to sharpen your sword? If there is no better way, it's over here, why don't you go back to the sect with me and visit Master."

Fang Wenmin nodded and agreed: "Shushan Sword School is one of the two holy places of swordsmanship in the world. The swords of the Wan family have traces of heaven and earth, and there are also swordsmanship stones for disciples to sharpen. Brother Xie, visit it and you will get it." If you don't have the opportunity to sharpen your sword and the sword stone, there are countless sword masters who can learn from each other, and it will definitely help you a little bit."

"Except for the top school of the town school, the Shushan Sword School has no sects and aristocratic families. Brother Xie has arrived, and swordsmanship must be sharpened with stones." Li Ming said.

Hearing the words of the two, Xie Chengyun smiled and sighed, and said: "Brother Li's kindness, I appreciate it. But I have already decided to open the sword stage on the third day of the next lunar month, and ask the world about swords. This is how to sharpen swords It must be enough."

Several people on the stage were stunned.

Opening the sword stage, this is more than enough, it is outrageous. It's been 30 years, and no one has opened the sword stage once. It's dangerous and terrifying, so what more needs to be said?

The high platform was silent, and even the bustling martial arts arena felt that the atmosphere was not right, and gradually quieted down.

"Brother Xie, you are not such an arrogant person, why bother..."

Fang Wenmin hesitated to speak.

Xie Chengyun raised his hand: "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me too much. Today is the grand event of the martial arts competition in the seven major martial arts halls. If I take the lead, Xie will be ashamed."

Everyone sighed, but Fang stopped talking.

At this time, the last two master chairs also ushered in their owners. They were a middle-aged swordsman with a half-step concentration on alchemy, and No. 11 on the White Dragon List, "Dragon Spear" Yudan, who was born as a casual cultivator in Jianghu.

Ranked No.11 on the White Dragon Ranking as a Jianghu loose cultivator, Yu Dan's talent and strength should not be underestimated.He has traveled around the rivers and lakes for many years, but he is withdrawn and likes to live alone. This is the first time he came to Beijing, and he is not familiar with Xie Chengyun and others. After a brief exchange of greetings, he didn't talk much.

Chu Yunsheng was a little puzzled that this lonely warrior came to participate in such excitement.But after a few glances, he didn't see anything.

Soon, the owner of the Chonghe Martial Arts Hall walked to the center of the Martial Arts Arena, with a surge of true energy and a loud voice, he introduced the eight people on the high stage, and announced the start of the martial arts competition.

As soon as the owner's voice fell, two people jumped into the arena.

"Pei Jing of the 'Tiange Nine Swords' of Shangjing Yangwei Martial Art Museum, please enlighten me!"

"Qingzhou 'Flying Snow Palm' Lu Yuanbai is here to fight!"

One is a resolute young man with a long sword in his hand, and the other is a young knight with jade white palms.Both of them were in the middle stage of Hanshen, and they announced their names loudly. After saluting, they quickly fought together with one sword and one palm.

The sword qi and the palm wind intertwined, one hot and the other cold zhen qi vibrating.

One side of the sword is majestic, opening and closing, but thick and thin, unparalleled in vertical and horizontal.A pair of palms patted gently, soft like flowing water, but heavier than a boulder, powerful and powerful.

The movements of both sides also have their own characteristics, and the figures are flying around, unrestrained and elegant, satisfying everyone's imagination of a knight in the rivers and lakes.

There were applause and shouts from all around, and there were women from Shangjing who did not care about trifles, raised their fragrant handkerchiefs and silk flowers high, flirted with glances and admired softly.

Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and watched, counting the flaws of the two of them one by one, and a more meticulous and exciting contest evolved in his mind.

In the end, Pei Jing from Yangwei Martial Art Museum won the battle. After the eight people on the high platform briefly commented, the second round started.

After several consecutive games like this, the faces of the eight people were more or less exhausted.

It's not that the eight people are really tired after sitting for a while. After all, with their strength, it's nothing to sit like this for a day and a night.It's just that the level of this kind of competition is really not very high. If you watch the first few games fresh, it will become more and more boring in the future. After several games in a row until now, there are many swordsmen, and there are also those in the late stage of Hanshen, but they have touched the truth of the sword. Threshold, but none.

It seems that it is indeed a bit boring.

At noon, everyone had a meal and took a nap, and then the martial arts meeting continued.

The sun slanted, and the cicadas sounded everywhere.

In the summer afternoon, under the thatched shed, with the gentle breeze, I suddenly felt lazy and drowsy.

Chonghe Wuguan knew how to be a man, and Chu Yunsheng also got a seat, sitting behind Xie Chengyun, and was a little sleepy.

However, just sitting like this, Chu Yunsheng's lower abdomen suddenly felt a little swollen.

He glanced at the fierce fighting in the martial arts arena, and informed Xie Chengyun through voice transmission, then got up and got off the high platform, and went to the hut.

Leaving the Martial Arts Arena and turning to the backyard of Chonghe Martial Arts Hall, the noise of the noise disappeared in an instant.

Everyone in the martial arts hall had gone to the martial arts arena to watch the martial arts competition. The backyard was quiet and no one was there. Chu Yunsheng observed the layout of the house and looked for the hut.

After a while, Chu Yunsheng smelled a slightly pungent smell, walked a few steps quickly, and was about to bypass an old locust tree and come to the hut.

But at this moment, a piece of black clothes hung down from the locust tree, and suddenly appeared in Chu Yunsheng's eyes.

The strange real energy hidden with sharp crying flowed out in an instant, and the woman wrapped in black and with purple lips jumped down from the tree, her aura was in the late stage of Hanshen.

She stopped in front of Chu Yunsheng, glanced at Chu Yunsheng up and down, and smiled coldly: "Ji Ling, I have been waiting for you for two hours, and you are not stupid enough to come here. Gong Shengnv, she shamelessly became Xie Chengyun's servant, it's really pathetic and ridiculous."

Chu Yunsheng's hands were already on the handles of the left and right sabers, but he didn't draw them.

His true energy is different from Ji Ling's, and once he makes a move, his identity will be exposed.

He didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in the woman's words, but raised his eyes to look at the pagoda tree in front of him and the row of thatched huts next to him, then quietly held his breath, before sighing sincerely: "I admire it."

Isn't it admirable to be able to wait for someone by the hut for two hours at noon in midsummer?

This person is definitely a ruthless person.

The woman in black didn't know why, so she frowned and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, where is the Emperor Sword? Bring it to me. Since you can't get out immediately, you should lurk beside Xie Chengyun first, and I will send the Emperor Sword back to the sect." .”

Chu Yunsheng didn't know what the Tianzi Sword was at all, but he still thought about Xia Ji Ling's character very seriously, and came up with Ji Ling's possible reaction to this matter.

"dream."

Picking up the hair from the side of his face and twisting it on his fingers, Chu Yunsheng frowned coldly and scolded coquettishly: "I gave you the Tianzi Sword, and all the credit is yours. I really think Ji Ling is stupid. You can't bully!"

The woman in black was not surprised by Ji Ling's refusal, and said coldly: "Then what do you want? The time limit is approaching, if you and I fail to bring the Tianzijian back on time, we will all end badly."

"As soon as you leave at this time, Xie Chengyun sensed that you will definitely chase and kill thousands of miles away. The two elders of the half-step Dingdan are not near Shangjing. You and I can't beat Xie Chengyun together. If you don't give me the Emperor Sword , Let me go back to my life first, what do you think?"

It seems that capturing the Son of Heaven Sword seems to be a mission given to Ji Ling and the woman in black by the Palace of Nine Immortals.

The following elders only have half-step concentration, which proves that this task is not difficult, at least on the surface.And the woman in black is sure that even if Xie Chengyun and Xie's family capture Ji Ling, they will never find the Son of Heaven Sword, otherwise they won't ask for it directly, but worry about it first.

Chu Yunsheng looked arrogant, snorted coldly, and said, "In less than a month, I will get out and leave Shangjing. The Emperor Sword is in my hand, and I will present it to the sect. You don't need to arrange it for me."

The woman in black frowned even tighter.

She was well aware of Ji Ling's conceit and stubbornness, her eyes rolled, and she thought of giving up and leaving for the time being, and coming back to get the sword when Ji Ling was about to die.

Thinking of this, she glared at Chu Yunsheng again, then tapped her toes to fly away.

At this time, a sword light suddenly appeared, as bright and clear as snow on the eaves, and as cold as the three-ninth wind.

The sound of the sword pierced through the air.

The body protection of the woman in black is as fragile as thin paper, and it will collapse when stabbed.

She suddenly groaned, her figure froze, her eyes froze, a line of blood was split between her eyebrows and her throat, and she fell to the ground in an instant, her breath dissipated.

Chu Yunsheng turned his head, and saw the white clothes fluttering at the corner of the corridor, Xie Chengyun came with his sword, and his smile was too bright: "Chu Chu is a real person, just like his name, but he has cold eyebrows and cold eyes, and he is still charming."

Chu Yunsheng: "..."

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to immediately switch to the next world to live.
