[Comprehensive martial arts] Master let me cultivate myself

Hearing this, Xue Yiren looked at Xue Honghong with cold eyes.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, but anyway, no one in Jiangnan knows that Shijiazhuang is notoriously henpecked, and even got the name of Shihouzhuang because of Hua Jingong and Xue Honghong.

It is also because Zuo Erye took advantage of the wine and ran outside Shijiazhuang to hang a sign saying "There is an evil lady inside, please stop all relatives and friends", which has long become the talk of others after dinner.

Xue Honghong didn't feel ashamed about this matter, but what was even more embarrassing was that Shi Chuanzong had been acting strangely due to some stimulation recently.

If Xue Honghong hadn't been watching closely, she wouldn't have known that he secretly hid a large sum of money.

This is indeed not impossible. Although the owner of Shijiazhuang is just a juren, his business skills are not bad. Otherwise, how can he manage a manor that is not inferior to the scale of Throwing Cup Villa? Can afford the cost of spending money.

But Shi Chuanzong used the money in strange places.

No matter how hard Xue Honghong asked him, he refused to say anything, only said that he was going to do a big thing to prove that he was not a useless person.

So she ran back angrily.

She knew that Hua Jingong was aggressive but never dared to offend Xue Yiren's in-laws, and Shi Chuanzong was actually more afraid of his wife than his wife.

"Don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests, you go down first!" Xue Yiren spoke again, Xue Honghong felt that her father's eyes had become more dangerous, and quickly retreated from the main hall.

As soon as she left, Xue Yiren's eyes naturally fell on Shi Nian and the others.

"Several people came from afar, Xue should have treated each other with courtesy, but it seems that some of them are coercing and laughing, and they are not kind. Could it be that I, Xue Yi, have not been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, and everyone can be bullied? The soft persimmons will not succeed!"

He is a generation of swordsmen, but today Japan does not carry a sword with him in order to welcome guests and welcome his daughter.

But at his level of kendo, whether to have a sword or not to have a sword is no longer that important.

Just as the end of his sharp questioning fell, a cold air suddenly surged in the hall.

The cold air turned into a sword, and the invisible sharp knife pointed at several people.

This seemingly proud swordsman has no intention of being courteous before making a move. The green bamboo outside the house is slightly swaying in the autumn twilight, showing a sense of peace, but the house has turned into a murderous place. Territory.

The wind of the sword swirled and swirled, unpredictable, as if a cold light would flash in the next second and cut off the opponent's neck, or it seemed that Tun Xiao's sword light was going to force people out from here.

Shi Nian didn't seem to notice the murderous aura on Xue Yiren's body at all.

She casually tossed the teacup in her hand.

The teacup shattered instantly when it was released from her hand, but it was not crushed by Xue Yiren's sword energy, but crushed into fragments by her in a way that no one could see clearly before she threw it out.The fragments wrapped her blazing and stormy wedding dress, and the divine power and saber energy rushed out, colliding with the sword light that suddenly condensed in the air.

The light of the knife swallowed the light of the sword, and the light of the sword intercepted the fragments of the white glow in the air.

Under the pressure of saber energy and sword energy, these fragments seemed to be stagnant in the air for a moment, but in the next moment, they suddenly turned into powder and fell down.

The vigor that made people feel full of oppression suddenly disappeared at this time.

The change in the whole room is as if someone just accidentally broke a cup, but the cup broke slightly and completely.

However, the way Xue Yiren looked at Shi Nian had completely changed.

This is not a stunned young man who took his luck to capture his stupid younger brother and then went to Xuejiazhuang to show off his power, but a terrifying young man who can challenge the world's top experts.

Perhaps it is enough to be called the arrogance of martial arts.

He's not someone who can't bear his own failure. The fleeting expression on this thin face quickly calmed down, and finally turned into a state of dialogue with an equal opponent.

"I don't know why you are here?"

Shi Nian stood up calmly and said, "I want to have a bet with Master Xue."

In the gambling fight between masters of such a level in the world, if one is not careful, one side will die, but the expression on Xue Yiren's face is always so calm that people can't see what he is thinking.

"What's the stake?" he asked.

"Why don't we talk about it after I have fought with the owner." Shi Nian replied.

"Why is that?"

Shi Nian explained: "Because if the owner knows the bet now, if the bet is too small, the owner may not be able to go all out. If the bet is too large, it will be a kind of imposition on both you and me. As far as the psychological burden is concerned, it would be better for the owner to make this unknown bet according to what you think before the start of the competition, and then just make a move without distraction."

Although Xue Yiren felt that this reason was problematic, if he did not have confidence in his own sword, he would not be able to become the number one swordsman in the world.

He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for Sinian to follow him.

"Do these friends of yours want to go together?" Xue Yiren suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked.

"If Master Xue doesn't mind his failure being seen by so many people, then of course he can."

Xue Yiren was almost going to laugh angrily at the other party's words, but his cultivation skills over the years have become more and more outstanding, it's just that his mood has been a little turbulent, and it can't be regarded as affecting his emotions when he makes a move.

He brought Shi Nian and his party to a spacious martial arts courtyard, "Please rest for a while, and wait for Xue to fetch his sword."

Xue Yiren's back disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Shi Niancai's understatement of throwing the cup just now, the method of breaking Xue Yiren's invisible sword energy was really beautiful, and Chu Liuxiang also put down a little bit of worry for her.

"It seems that in March on Changchun Island, junior sister's martial arts are improving very quickly."

To be precise, the last time he saw her make a move was when the two teamed up to capture Wuhua. Her ability at this time is indeed a world of difference compared to that day. When she caught Xue Xiaoren last night, she was already in a gold bracelet It's the end of the entry, and today's battle with Xue Yiren is the only way to really see clearly from beginning to end.

"Brother, don't worry. Just now, Zhuangzhu Xue and I have never used a sword and the other has never used a sword. However, he has the home court advantage but still can't get the upper hand. He has already lost half. When the real sword is facing each other, Even though I have a lot of experience in dealing with swordsmen, he rarely meets a swordsman who is unique in the world, so I still have the advantage."

It's a pity that Jin Lingzhi couldn't see the ability that she once said "if someone can surpass Xue Yiren".

Shi Nian took off his cloak, handed it to Qu Wurong, and walked to the center of the courtyard.

The aura on her body seems to be climbing and it seems to be integrated with the surrounding green bamboo flow.

When Xue Yiren walked back with his sword in his hand, he was surprised again when he saw the girl who could hardly feel the presence in the large courtyard, but the flying knife in her hand was flashing a little bit coldly in the last rays of sunlight. .

But he was already with the sword at this time, so how could he be afraid of anyone.

The way he was carrying the scabbard was weird, it was the fastest way for him to get the sword out of the scabbard.

The copper color of the hilt was exposed on the black shark skin scabbard. When the long sword was suddenly drawn out of its sheath, a ray of cold light that seemed to be gray and bluish green burst out from the sword body. This brilliance was somewhat It looks like blue blood shining on the blue, but it is more restrained and fierce than the short sword. The gradually sinking sunlight casts a layer of mysterious glow on it as the sword light flickers.

This is exactly the nameless sword that was suppressed by Xue Yiren's name and won him the title of Blood-clothed Man.

As for the mirage knife in Shi Nian's hand, the extremely thin blade was tempered with the green color of the surrounding green bamboos, as if it was being gently shaken by the autumn wind.

However, no matter the age of holding the knife or Xue Yiren who has walked across to her with the sword in hand, they all know that this knife just makes a soft moan under the infusion of true energy, just like a match at a chess match.

The wind in the courtyard suddenly passed by.

When the wind moves, people also move.

For these two, the most suitable opportunity to make a shot is fleeting, and it is definitely not waiting for the opponent to act before reacting.

The long sword is like a rainbow, and the short sword is also unyielding. Except for Chu Liuxiang and Xue Xiaoren, the momentary movements of these two people's fights can hardly be seen clearly.

Suddenly, Zhongyuan Dianhong was not quite sure whether his assertion that his master was superior to Xue Yiren was just because he was too afraid of that person.

Because when a sword is fast enough that nothing can stop it, the so-called fancy and practical are not so important.

What's more, it is not so easy to attack such a fast sword, he can still go out and stop.

For a moment, Xue Yiren's sword pierced straight like a meteor, but suddenly stopped in the air. Before Chu Liuxiang admired his superb control of the sword, he saw the man who was supposed to be here. During the pause of the sword's momentum, the flying knife streamer that swiped past the tip of the sword suddenly changed direction under the control of the silver thread.

This young girl in Tsing Yi, who mastered the method of random embroidery with divine needles, made the flying knife seem like a living thing at her command, and fell on the bamboo leaves in the courtyard like a breeze.

How could the leaves support her weight? However, when the flying knife turned, she moved her toes, and she turned to step on the wind, like a fluttering bamboo leaf, coming towards Xue Yiren.

But she was much faster than the bamboo leaves. The twists and turns of the three throwing knives and the turbulent waves caused by the throwing knife in her hand at the moment make people think that they were not made by the same person, but the two are not incompatible. .

Her astonishing and rare lightness technique fueled the blazing fire of the sword, and at the last moment when the sun fell and faded, it almost turned into a rainbow sun shadow piercing the vast twilight.

Xue Yiren only had a knife in his eyes.

At such a young age, she has already become one with the sword. Under this day's talented sword, his sword is faster and more ruthless than ever.

The shock of true qi had already turned the place into a muddy place where it was impossible to move an inch, but neither the sword light nor the knife light lagged for a moment, and each of them split a channel between the turbulent air waves.

The light of Xue Yiren's sword intertwined densely, and the edge of the sword rushed towards his face like cold snow.

But there were three other knives back then.

In Xue Yiren's eyes, that green dagger that was already the result of her all-out attack, which was on equal footing with him, was not her all-out effort.

In the clanging confrontation between the Nameless Sword and the Mirage Knife, the light of the knife suddenly turned from dark to bright, and from soft to sharp.

Before the dormant sharp knife arrived, Xue Xiaoren, who was unable to move at this moment, could already see that Xue Yiren's moves were in disorder for a moment.

It was like three guillotines hanging above his head that could explode at any time. Even though Shi Nian seemed to let them declare their presence at this moment, he still only used the short knife to split and break the sword shadow, pointing directly at Xue Yiren's long sword come by itself.

But the distraction of the master duel is enough to kill.

Perhaps it is not easy for Shi Nian to activate the three flying knives at this time, but her line control method has almost become an instinct, which is enough for her to launch this attack at this time, and also Perhaps, the calmness shown on this face that is still shining under the dimmed sky is in line with her confidence in this short knife attack.

Whether it was the former or the latter, the last thing they saw was Xue Yiren's last sword, which seemed to be trying to make a quick decision, so that because of the lack of momentum, it left Shi Nian with a chance to defeat the enemy!

A short glazed knife rested on Xue Yiren's neck.

And his sword was gripped by a hand gloved with silver silk.

He could indeed cut across with one sword, but the first one to succeed must be the knife against his throat.

Because this is a flying knife, it can be used at any time to exert force.

Xue Yiren let out a long sigh and put away his sword, and Shi Nian also took back his own knife. The courtyard seemed to be calm again for a moment, only the birds returning late at night were left singing a few times as they passed through the air. Crying broke the stagnant silence.

This swordsman, who is nearly fifty years old, seems to have lost his breath for a moment, but in his eyes, which are very similar to Xue Xiaoren, the sword intent is flowing in his eyes, and he is thinking of the sword fight in the fight just now. In the past, when he was making faster sword moves, his spirit was rekindled.

The long sword was returned to its sheath, the ray of green sword light disappeared, and Xue Yiren's expression also returned to calm.

"Tell me your betting requirements. Xue is not someone who can't afford to lose. If you want Xue's house, it's okay. If you want Xue's life, you can take it."

"What's the use of me wanting the owner's life?" Shi Nian shook his head and smiled, "My bet is very simple, I hope that the owner Xue will investigate something with me, and the first step is to meet Second Master Xue s room."

Xue Yiren was not sure what she was going to do.

He looked towards Xue Xiaoren, and on that face that seemed reckless and silly when he was always saying something like "Xue Yiren is a great swordsman, Xue Xiaoren is a big eater", when Shi Nian made this request, Showed full resistance.

It's a pity that it's useless for him not to be happy now, because Xue Yiren is a person who keeps his promises.

Qu Wurong, Yin Yan, and Zhongyuan Dianhong, who temporarily took another extra job, staring at Xue Xiaoren whose acupoints have not been unlocked is not difficult, while Shi Nian and Chu Liuxiang followed behind Xue Yiren and moved towards Xue Xiaoren to his residence.

Compared with the simplicity and cleanliness of the whole house, Xue Xiaoren's courtyard looked messy.

The fallen leaves of green bamboos in the courtyard accumulated on the ground.

On normal times, there is still the elegance of the garden full of bamboo leaves, but if no one has cleaned it for at least three or four months, the leaves have already been perforated and rotten, and they have been swollen by the previous summer rainy season and dried by the scorching sun. A desolate dead air remained.

Dust also accumulated on the external windows of the small building in the courtyard, which had not been cleaned for a long time, and the people living inside seemed unwilling to open the windows, which made the dust accumulate more and more.

"It seems that the people in Master Xue's house are good at fishing in troubled waters," Shi Nian said.

A flash of anger flashed across Xue Yiren's face, but he suppressed it and opened Xue Xiaoren's room door first.

Compared with the environment outside the house, which fits the environment of a fool who is ignored by his servants, the inside of the house is completely spotless and tidy. Even though he has not been here for many years, he has become even more alienated from Xue Xiaoren since he went crazy seven or eight years ago. Everyone in Xue Yi felt that something was wrong.

When Shi Nian walked to the dressing table, the huge dressing table and the various bottles and jars on it were the origin of the red, white and white dress on Xue Xiaoren's face. She raised a finger with her little finger. Take the cap of the bottle, pick up the bottle and smell it lightly, it really is the smell of the good powder he used.

And the colorful clothes covered on the bed in the room are even more difficult for anyone to wear than Xue Xiaoren's bangs splashing money at the moment.

"Master Xue, as we have seen just now, the servants in Guizhuang have really neglected the supervision of Second Master Xue, but it will never take more than two months to complete the production of these high-quality rouges. It is absolutely impossible that someone tricked Erye Xue into buying it when he was wandering on the street, because the fabric of this clothes is rarely sold to the south, and there are transportation costs, and the merchants here will not do such thankless behavior .”

"May I ask Master Xue, where did these clothes and rouge powder come from?"

Xue Yiren really couldn't answer this question.

After Xue Xiaoren's mental state went wrong, although he cherished this younger brother, he sometimes felt that he had lost his face. Every time he wanted to order him to pay attention to his image, he would always say "Xue Xiaoren is also a good son of Xue Daddy." "The words were blocked back.

His monthly money was sent directly by Xue Yiren's servants, but since he didn't want to spend on cleaning outside, how could he have money to buy these things that made him look more stupid, but actually cost a lot of money.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes turned from the dressing table to the roof.

He grabbed a silver hairpin from the dressing table and threw it towards the roof, only to hear a hollow sound.

"Is there an attic on Second Master Xue's roof?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

Xue Yiren also couldn't answer this question. He hasn't been here for a long time. It seems that the roof has been this high since he remembered it, but it seems that it should be raised even more.

"Brother Chu, please go up and have a look."

Shi Nian felt that this was considered a professional counterpart in a sense, but it didn't seem like a compliment.

Chu Liuxiang snatched up the roof like a fish and then swam close to it. When he stopped suddenly at a certain place, he stretched out his hand and lifted off a piece of wood, revealing the entrance to the attic above. He grasped the edge of the attic floor with light force. , the person has already stepped up.

Shi Nian believed in Chu Liuxiang's ability, so her eyes continued to stay on the dressing table.

Xue Yiren has been famous all over the world for a long time. I heard that his wife died young. Xue Honghong is much older than Xue Bin, and she has been married for a long time, but this huge dressing table seems to have only been placed for two Three years old, it can be seen that this furniture also came from outside.

It seems that there is no need to waste such a great effort to move such a dressing table in.

Shi Nian intuitively touched the back of the bronze mirror of the dressing table, and there was indeed a special protrusion.

When she pressed down, half of the dresser suddenly moved away, revealing the tunnel underneath.

Xue Yiren's expression froze.

He thought he knew everything about the Xue family village, but he didn't even know that his younger brother had dug a tunnel here.

Xuejiazhuang was built on the mountain, so one can imagine how difficult it is to dig this tunnel, and what a secret that subverts his cognition is hidden underneath.

At this moment, Chu Liuxiang, who had gone up to the attic, jumped down with an iron box in his arms. Xue Yiren was not in the mood to praise his junior for his excellent lightness kung fu.He reached out and opened Chu Liuxiang's iron box on the ground. Inside the box were clothes that looked much more normal than those placed in the room at the moment.

But the more this is the more abnormal.

An attic that he didn't know, some clothes that looked like normal Xue Xiao would wear, and an unknown tunnel.

"Go down and have a look." He didn't care if there was any danger in the tunnel, he jumped down first, followed by Shi Nian.

Compared with the underground palace built in Mount Emei that I saw in the past years, the world behind this tunnel is undoubtedly much simpler, but under the eyes of Xue Yiren, his crazy brother who claims to be only 12 years old actually did this. There are so many things that are enough to surprise people.

In the dark tunnel, there is only a faint light from the fire fold. Fortunately, when the tunnel descends to a platform, there is finally a place that looks like a room in the mountain. There is a leftover oil lamp there, and the stone is carved here. The appearance of stone tables and benches can be clearly seen by the light of the oil lamp.

There was a stack of thick account books stacked on the stone table, Xue Yiren flipped through them twice, and suddenly stopped the movement of his hands.

What is recorded one by one is the business of murder.

And on a corner of the stone table was a token made of gold, on which was covered thirteen slender long swords in one hand.

This does not look like an ordinary token, because the hand carved here, ambition, desire for control and a kind of sword aura rushing to the face, converged into a kind of token that makes people feel like a token at a glance. The owner is not an extraordinary aura.

This place leads directly to Xue Xiaoren's room, and it seems that there is no need to explain who the things belong to.

Xue Yiren couldn't help smiling wryly.

The person who can own these account books is bound to hold the hands of these murderous swords, and he doesn't even have the chance to kill people and keep Xuejiazhuang decent.

Because before visiting Xue Xiaoren's residence, Shi Nian had already proved with her own strength that she had the ability to kill him under the knife, not to mention that there was Chu Liuxiang beside her at this time.

"Master Xue, I can guess your current mood." Shi Nian said, "But I think the most urgent thing is to take this thing to ask Xue Erye, this killer organization is also related to another incident in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe The bad influence it will cause is no less than this matter, if everything is figured out at this time, there may be a chance to pay off the crime."

"You are right, you should ask clearly what good things he has been doing all these years." Xue Yiren said slowly.

He watched Shi Nian throw the account book to Chu Liuxiang, while he put the gold token into his sleeve, without giving him a chance to intervene, but motioned him to go on and see where the exit of the passage was.

The construction of this passage in the mountain is really a big project, but it is true that without this secret passage, with Xue Yiren's ability, if Xue Xiaoren frequented inside and outside Zhuangzi, he should have been discovered long ago.

The exit of the secret path is at the foot of the mountain.

Xue Yiren was just about to ask them if they were going back along the secret road or directly up the mountain road, when they suddenly saw a sneaky figure coming down the mountain road with something in their arms, looking left and right as if they were worried that someone would find him there do what.

This back figure is really familiar, Xue Yiren shouted without thinking, "What are you doing!"

The sound of thunder frightened the sneaky man and dropped everything in his hand on the ground.

He acted hastily, the cloth that wrapped the things in his arms was not tightly wrapped, and fell to the ground at this moment, it directly spread out, revealing the things inside.

Those are two swords.

The shape of a sword is simple, and the black and green sword body looks restrained, but when it falls to the ground, it makes a sound like a dragon's chant. It is an octagonal bronze sword made by Taikang Shaokang of the ZTE Zhou Dynasty in the past.

The other sword is much more gorgeous. The turquoise and gold thread of the hilt, and the gold joint between the hilt and the sword body, all look very royal. This is the old Wuding sword, the name of the sword is Take courage.

Xue Yiren had seen these two swords before the duel with Shi Nian just now.

At that time, they were put together with his nameless sword, and the sword's sword light reflected and nourished each other, and they were treasures that he had always been proud of.

But at this time, it was stolen by someone, and it seemed that he had already been sent down the mountain. If he hadn't happened to be here, wouldn't he have been caught by this guy.

And the person who started to steal the sword was none other than his useless second son.

Xue Yiren was furious.

"Xue Bin! Stop! Where do you want to take these two swords!"
