[Comprehensive] Proving the Way with the Sword

After dinner, Yun Shanyuan separated from Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng at the entrance of Baiweizhai.

There are two more days until the Qixi Festival, and there is already a festive atmosphere in Jinling City.

Qixi Festival is not just about girls begging for cleverness and praying for blessings. It can be said that men, women and children can take advantage of the opportunity to have fun.For example, children will pick wild flowers and hang them on the horns of the cow to celebrate the birth of the cow, so as to commemorate the old cow and let the cowherd skin it, and the cowherd will drive the cowhide to the sky to meet the weaver girl.If the sun shines brightly on Qixi Festival, many people will dry their clothes and books.The seventh day of July is also Kuixing's birthday. Scholars who seek fame and fame will of course worship Kuixing for good luck.In addition, there are many kinds of Qiaoguo for sale in the city, and it is also on this day that people will worship and drink music.

There are so many activities on Qixi Festival, of course every household has to prepare several days in advance.

Walking in the city, Yun Shanyuan could already feel the lively atmosphere.At this moment, she felt a vague gaze looking at her. This gaze was not a normal look, but an inexplicable hostility.

"Do you want fried chestnuts in sugar?" An old woman walked up to Yun Shanyuan with a bamboo basket hanging on her wrist, "Girl, this is my fried chestnuts in sugar. Smell it and see, isn't it delicious? Good luck!" Once you eat one, you will never forget its taste."

Yun Shanyuan smiled at the old lady.

This person looked kind-faced and kind-eyed, with a stooped body, and the corners of her eyes were already covered with eye lines. Her clothes were exactly the same as those of ordinary old women, except that she was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.

Red is bright red, Yun Shanyuan saw Shangguan Feiyan wear such embroidered shoes once.

"Then let's have a pack." Yun Shanyuan took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the old woman selling sugar-fried chestnuts, and took a paper bag of sugar-fried chestnuts from her hand.

The old woman smiled kindly, "Girl, try one, if it's not sweet, I'll refund the money to you."

Yun Shanyuan looked at the old woman's smile, and she looked at the fried chestnuts in the paper bag. This bag of fried chestnuts smelled very sweet, and it would make people want to taste it, but things that are too confusing are often Poisonous.

She peeled one of the chestnuts, held the chestnut in front of her, and then smiled at the old woman, "It smells very delicious, but it has a shortcoming. After mixing these highly poisonous flavors, the rotting heart grass Its venom will exude a weird sweet smell when it encounters high temperature. Don’t you think it’s too sweet? If it’s too sweet, it’s bitter. If you don’t think so, why don’t you try this sweet taste first.”

After Yun Shanyuan finished speaking, he fed the candied chestnuts backhand to the old woman's mouth, her expression was full of pampering, as if she was not the old woman who wanted to kill her, but was feeding her lover.

"By the way, you gave me such delicious food, why didn't you tell her name, so that I can remember it in my heart. So that after today's farewell, I miss Yue, but I don't know who I miss."

"Gongsun Lan." Gongsun Lan murmured out the name, but she was startled suddenly, and there was already a sugar-fried chestnut in her mouth.Immediately, she spat out the chestnuts and coughed lightly.Fortunately, this is the poison she made herself, and she will no longer be poisoned by this poison, otherwise, once the chestnuts are ingested, she will only fall to the ground and die.

Now that he has been recognized, there is no need to pretend anymore.

Gongsun Lan threw the bamboo basket in her hand towards Yun Shanyuan fiercely, and these chestnuts turned into sharp weapons in an instant, and rushed towards Yun Shanyuan's whole body.

Yun Shanyuan flicked away the sugar-fried chestnuts, instead of knocking them to the ground, he threw them towards Gongsun Lan. These chestnuts turned into a sword net, trapping Gongsun Lan from the sky .

Seeing this, Gongsun Lan pulled out a soft sword from her waist, constantly changing her posture, trying to chop off all the fried chestnuts around her.

Yun Shanyuan looked at the sword technique used by Gongsun Lan. It was quite capable. At first glance, it looked like a sword dance, but it already had a strange murderous aura.

Wu Huajian, Gongsun Lan's swordsmanship has some ingenuity, or she may think that she shouldn't be dressed in commoner clothes and use such a set of brilliant and strange swordsmanship.The person who uses this sword is more suitable and perfect when he is dressed in splendid clothes and possesses the talents of heaven and man.

"In the past, there was a beautiful lady, the Gongsun family, who danced swords and moved everywhere. You are called Gongsun Lan. Could it be that you are also related to her? Then you must be a beautiful woman who is all over the country."

Yun Shanyuan had a smile in his tone, as if he smiled because he saw the beauty, "It's just turning the dance into a sword, it's far more than that. This dance should exist in the sky, so this sword should be beautiful and not belong to the mortal world."

Gongsun Lan used her sword to make a gap in the fried chestnuts scattered all over the sky. After hearing Yun Shanyuan's words, her expression became cold.

"I don't know how to use this sword, maybe you still know it! Let's save your life today. It was supposed to let you die quietly under the sugar-fried chestnuts, and you will be happy only if you end up without a whole body." , then I can only fulfill you."

Yun Shanyuan shook her head helplessly, she had never provoked Gongsun Lan, and she didn't know why this person had such a murderous intention towards her.However, what's interesting is that Gongsun Lan has a high resistance to the technique of instigating souls.If it wasn't for a person whose mind is so clear and transparent that she can resist the soul-stirring technique, the most likely reason is that she has practiced this kind of martial arts, or was specially trained by someone.

"I have never seen Gongsun's sword dance, but there is a poem that says 'Huo Ruyi shoots the nine sunsets, and he is like a dragon flying like a group of emperors. Come like a thunder, stop the wrath, stop like a river and sea to clear the light.' Her sword dance is Majestic and majestic, it is the power of the nine heavens. The power of the sword never lies in the sword move, but in the heart of the swordsman."

Yun Shanyuan withdrew his smile, "Gongsun Lan, your sword heart is impure, how can you compare to the old Gongsun clan! If you ask the nine heavens with your heart, you can be immortal in common clothes, but if your heart is unclean, your colorful clothes will also be reduced to the lowest grade .”

Gongsun Lan was even more annoyed when she heard the words, and the soft sword in her hand stabbed at Yun Shanyuan fiercely.

Yun Shanyuan didn't directly break Gongsun Lan's sword move, she also wanted to see the complete Gongsun clan's sword, even though it was already impure.And she wondered if there was unreasonable hostility, Gongsun Lan didn't take money to kill her, there was jealousy in Gongsun Lan's eyes.

Because of Shangguan Feiyan's death?This is going too far, Shangguan Feiyan was killed by Huo Xiu, so it can't be blamed on her.Even though Gongsun Lan and Shangguan Feiyan were both wearing red embroidered shoes, they probably belonged to the same organization, and there was no need to vent their anger by finding targets indiscriminately.

Wait, both are wearing red shoes, the two are from the same organization.

Yun Shanyuan suddenly remembered something. Lu Xiaofeng mentioned that someone from Red Shoes went to Tsing Yi Building to help him destroy the mechanism and trap Huo Xiu in order to avenge Shangguan Feiyan. But is the matter really that simple?

"Gongsun Lan, your sugar-fried chestnuts are very fragrant. I want to know, you just don't like me and sell me this kind of poison. If innocent passers-by pass by, will you sell it?"

Seeing Yun Shanyuan dodging the sword in her hand again, Gongsun Lan was aroused with anger in her heart, "Why don't you sell it! Did I make them eat fried chestnuts with sugar? They were attracted by the aroma. It’s gone. They have no eyes, so it’s still my responsibility? Those people die as soon as they die, so it’s not worth mentioning.”

When Yun Shanyuan heard this, he was no longer as careless as before.

Gongsun Lan is a person who regards human life like grass. She said that there is sisterhood between her and Shangguan Feiyan, and there will be, but it can be somewhat.The key is that after Huo Xiu's death, where did that wealth go?Lu Xiaofeng didn't care about this matter, and Yun Shanyuan didn't pay attention to other people's wealth.Just because they don't care, doesn't mean other people don't care.

"Red shoes, there must be someone behind your organization!"

While Yun Shanyuan was speaking, the broken sugar-fried chestnuts scattered on the ground had already slashed towards Gongsun Lan, knocked down the sword in her hand, and rushed towards her heart. "You have taken over the money of Tsing Yi Building. You must be able to resist the soul-hunting technique because you obeyed the orders of the person who knows the magic art. Who is he and what does he want to do!"

Gongsun Lan originally had an angry expression on her face, but when she heard Yun Shanyuan's second sentence, her complexion turned pale, and there was uncontrollable resentment in her eyes, "How do you know! "

Yun Shanyuan didn't keep his hand anymore. She really doesn't love to kill, which doesn't mean she won't kill people. Countless chestnut shells pierced into Gongsun Lan's body, "If you say so, I can spare your life."

"I don't care if you spare my life!" After Gongsun Lan said this, she took out a small iron box from her sleeve and was about to throw it at Yun Shanyuan.

At this time, a thick black mist suddenly diffused in the air, covering the moonlight in an instant, and plunged the surroundings into darkness.Then there were two loud slaps, and then Gongsun Lan wanted to scream, but suppressed a muffled hum.

When the black mist dissipated, Yun Shanyuan retreated a foot away.In this darkness, she couldn't see clearly ahead, but she could feel a gust of wind passing by her side.

It was an unidentifiable aura of a person, he seemed to be in the dark, he didn't know if he really existed, and the black mist dissipated the next moment.Only a soft sword was left, proving that Gongsun Lan once existed here, and also proving that someone did come and take her away.

Yun Shanyuan stood where he was, looking at the soft sword glowing coldly on the ground.

There is no need to ask who took Gongsun Lan away just now, Yun Shanyuan didn't have to rescue him, but took him away, because that person was not here to save others, otherwise why would he have been slapped twice.This person is the chess player she has always suspected may exist behind the scenes.

At a certain moment just now, she felt the arrival of that man, and there was no magic on him.And just as a murderous person is not scary, the most terrifying thing is a person who has completely subdued his magic.

Yun Shanyuan picked up the iron box on the ground. This was the last thing Gongsun Lan wanted to attack her. It should be some kind of hidden weapon, and it must be quite powerful.

Why did the behind-the-scenes chess player make a move at that moment? Did he not want her to get hurt, or did he not want her to get hurt in this way?

At this time, even though the black mist had dissipated, Yun Shanyuan still seemed to be in a layer of mist.

Gongsun Lan's intention to kill her is obviously not the chess player's order, and Gongsun Lan hates her.What did she do to make Gongsun Lan jealous?There is no intersection between them. If there is any connection, it is that she has unknowingly stepped into the chess player's game.Gongsun Lan obeyed the chess player, and she was jealous because she couldn't get it. It couldn't be because the chess player took special care of her, right?

Yun Shanyuan thought it was funny, she didn't feel any special care at all.

**

The ruined temple outside Jinling City.

The man in black threw Gongsun Lan to the ground, and said coldly, "Not enough to succeed, but more to fail!"

Gongsun Lan covered her burning cheeks, but didn't care about the cold tone of the man in black, "My lord, I'm just going to try to compete with her, and I can also gain an advantage for my lord."

'Snapped! The man in black raised his palm and hit Gongsun Lan in the face again, pulling her three meters away and hitting a wall post. "It's up to you? You don't deserve it!"

Gongsun Lan held back the pain all over her body, she saw the third person in the temple, "Monk, you are the one who is talking nonsense in front of your lord, right?"

The monk said innocently, "The poor monk never lies. Your lord has already said that we should follow the plan. You have seized the property of Tsing Yi Building, so just do what you should do. As for the other things, since your lord has not instructed you Go to Master Yun, if you act rashly, I will of course tell you the truth."

Gongsun Lan held back the bloody smell in her throat, and she looked at the man in black. "My lord, I don't understand what's so good about her. She can use a sword, and I can use it too. Why is it her?"

There was a mocking smile on the corner of the monk's mouth, and he closed his eyes and lowered his head again.

Women are stupid when it comes to feelings, which have nothing to do with feelings at all.

The man in black looked at Gongsun Lan seriously for the first time, seeing love and jealousy in her eyes, he laughed.

"Idiot, thanks to the fact that your ancestor is the Gongsun family, it is an insult to this surname! So you are worthy of falling in love with me? Do you understand that this is the best era! The era of masters, the era closest to Shattered Void! If you don’t understand, how can you understand. If you understand, you will understand that it doesn’t matter if you are affectionate, heartless, unfeeling, or passionate, it’s not what you think. You don’t have the Tao.”

After saying that, the man in black slapped Gongsun Lan with his palm. If she could have been spared before, there is no need to spare her now.People are blinded by personal jealousy, unable to discern the truth of the facts, keeping this kind of person is leaving trouble for themselves.

The man in black said to the monk, "Go and light the fire and burn her. You will also take over the matter of the red shoes."

**

Yun Shanyuan originally wanted to go back to the inn, but now he turned back to Baihualou.

On the one hand, it was to confirm whether Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng were safe and sound, and on the other hand, it was to let Lu Xiaofeng see the iron box. He was familiar with Zhu Ting, so maybe he could know what the hidden weapon was.

Tonight, it was the first time she passed by the chess player behind the scenes, and it was time for Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou to know about these things.
