Chapter 36 The Peerless Twins
Dugu Jing remained calm in the face of danger, with the scabbard in her left hand sheathed Chang Ning's sword lightly, and with the sword in her right hand, she made a move of "Welcome the guests with green pine". Chang Ning hit the middle and stabbed straight.Chang Ning held his breath and focused, with a dagger in his right hand, coquettishly said: "Dugu Jing, you have to be careful." As he spoke, the dagger in his left stabbed obliquely.

Once the tricks were passed, the crowd beside the martial arts arena excited, and they all praised him.

But seeing Dugu Jingjian walk lightly, the light flashes like a rainbow, and when he opens and closes, he is elegant and dignified, which is indeed the demeanor of a famous artist.And Chang Ning's moves are ever-changing, his body is like lightning, and his moves are unparalleled.I saw two figures, one white and one purple, flying up and down, but I couldn't see how each sword was thrust out.

Unknowingly, two hundred strokes passed.

Compared with the unawareness of everyone outside the martial arts arena, Dugu Jing and Chang Ning on the martial arts arena were secretly shocked.

For Dugujing, unlike Zhang Qingming's Taiji swordsmanship before, which was controlled by others and used defense as an offense, Chang Ning's swordsmanship is sharp and fast like a gust of wind.Although there are still loopholes in body skills and moves, but these loopholes are fleeting, once you see the loopholes, the loopholes have disappeared, with my current skills, I am determined not to be able to attack the enemy's weakness.I thought it would be a quick battle, but I didn't expect to be caught in a fight.Seeing that Chang Ning's offensive continued unabated, it was unclear how long her internal strength could last.

Like Dugu Jing, Chang Ning also became more and more frightened as the war progressed.Dugujing's sword moves seem ordinary, but she is one step ahead of them all, making herself restrained everywhere, and she can only deal with it by body skills.However, compared with sword moves, moving body moves consumes a lot, and if things go on like this, the true energy will definitely be exhausted.When the time comes, her body skills will slow down and her moves will slow down, Dugu Jing will definitely win with one blow.

"Looks like it's time for a quick battle." Chang Ning thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Chang Ning walked around, and the two short swords in his hands danced like silver snakes, wrapping Dugu Jing in between.Seeing the situation, Dugu Jing knew that it was time for a showdown, so the long sword pierced through the air and stabbed Chang Ning's chest. In the middle of the sword, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and unexpectedly bent over and stabbed Chang Ning's right shoulder obliquely.

This way of "Dugu Nine Swords" relies entirely on the understanding of the person it enables to attack the enemy's flaws, making the sword moves flickering and unpredictable, making it difficult for the enemy to block.Chang Ning had never seen this kind of swordsmanship before, so he hurriedly shrugged and avoided, pinning Dugu Jing's long sword with the double blades in his hands, sticking them together.

Dugu Jing's true energy was carried by the hilt of the sword, and she tried to break free, but was locked in the middle by Chang Ning's two swords, unable to separate.

After the stalemate together, both of them knew that at this moment, the moves were useless, and it could only be a competition of internal strength.So they were all lucky with the sword and never retreated half a point.But neither Dugu Jing nor Chang Ning can confirm that their internal strength is stronger than the opponent, let alone have the confidence to beat the opponent.

At this time, Sanbao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, said to Young Master Wen: "Palace Master, Chang Ning and Miss Dugu have started to compete in internal strength. If this continues, it will be easy for both sides to lose. I implore Palace Master to let the slaves enter the competition field to separate the two."

After hearing this, Mr. Wen said: "Three treasures, then you go quickly and separate the two of you."

"Yes, Palace Master." Saying that, Sanbao floated to the center of the venue.

Walking up to the two of them, he bowed and said: "Princess, Miss Dugu, the rain is getting heavier, it's not suitable to compare, let's call it a day."

Sanbao's words made the two of them have a step down.

Dugu Jing took a breath of true energy and tried her best to speak, "Chang Ning, this is the end of today's competition."

Hearing Dugujing's words, Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, I'll let go."

As he said that, Chang Ning let go of his strength, separated the two blades, and flew outward.

At the same time, Dugujing also retreated abruptly, and withdrew her sword.

After some competition, both of them had exhausted their true energy, and after they separated, they were both a little dizzy and gasping for breath.After adjusting the breath for a while, Chang Ning handed the dagger to Three Treasures, and said, "Dugu Jing, your swordsmanship is really powerful, Chang Ning admires it."

Seeing the dagger back into its sheath, Dugu Jing held the sword in her arms and said, "Chang Ning, your sword and body skills are fast and weird. Even if I see a flaw, I can't win with one blow. I can't beat you."

"I can't beat you either." Chang Ning said in a deep voice.

While the two were talking, Mr. Wen led the audience into the competition arena. Looking at Dugu Jing, who had turned pale, and Chang Ning, whose cheeks were flushed, Mr. Wen said, "Chang Ning, Dugu Jing, today you two will compete. The sword is really wonderful, it opened my eyes. Now that the rain is getting heavier, it is not easy to stay outside, you and I will go back to the main hall and have breakfast together, let's talk again."

"No, Palace Master. Just now, when I competed with Chang Ning, my true energy was consumed a lot. I want to go back and breathe out my luck skills to restore my energy. Dugujing, thank you Palace Master for your kindness." Dugujing kowtowed.

"This..." Seeing Dugujing's refusal, Mr. Wen was momentarily at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, I'm also exhausted now, I need to go back to recuperate, and I won't have breakfast with my brother anymore." Chang Ning said the same.

Seeing that Chang Ning also said the same thing, Mr. Wen had no choice but to say: "Then another day."

After speaking, Mr. Wen turned and left.

……

After almost an hour, after meditating and adjusting his breath, Chang Ning had just recovered a few layers of strength.

When he walked to the window, he saw the rain outside, which was heavier than when he competed with Dugujing before.The strong wind was blowing against the window lattice, whistling.

Thinking of the sword competition between Dugujing and Dugujing just now, Chang Ning seems to be still unsatisfied.

"I don't know what Dugujing is doing now? The sword competition is over, it's better to talk to her in the past." Thinking of this, Chang Ning came to the bronze mirror, took out rouge, and dressed up.

Because of being with the eunuch since childhood, Chang Ning seldom puts much effort into dressing up.After all, Chang Ning is the most beautiful girl in Yan Wang's mansion even if she doesn't dress up.

It's just that after seeing Dugujing, Chang Ning felt that Dugujing's beauty was not inferior to his own. If he was not careful with her, he would let her compare.So, after freshening up and looking in the bronze mirror, Chang Ning took a box of shortbread cakes, propped up an oiled paper umbrella, and stepped into the rain.

Not long after, Chang Ning came to Dugujing's residence in the east courtyard of the middle hall.

After returning from the martial arts arena, she relaxed in one breath, and Dugujing couldn't help feeling weak all over.Like Chang Ning, after meditating for an hour, his strength has just recovered a bit.

Hearing a knock on the door, Dugu Jing just got up, opened the door, and saw Chang Ning standing at the door, somewhat surprised: "Chang Ning, why are you here?"

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Why aren't you welcome?"

"Of course you are welcome, but my house is not big, and I am afraid that I will condescend to the princess."

"Dugu Jing, didn't you say that there is no Princess Chang Ning in Yihua Palace, only a little girl named Chang Ning." Chang Ning said with a serious face.

"Then, please." With that said, Dugujing invited Changning into the residence.

Across a square table, the two sat down opposite each other. Dugu quietly poured two cups of tea, handed one to Chang Ning, and put the other in front of him.

After sitting down, he asked, "Chang Ning, you and I have already competed in martial arts, why are you looking for me again?"

Chang Ning took the pastry out of the bamboo basket, put it on the table, and said, "Dugu Jing, this is my favorite pastry, I'll bring it to you to try."

With that said, Chang Ning opened the package, and all kinds of pastries appeared in front of Dugu Jing.

"Chang Ning, martial arts practitioners, why do you still eat these greasy things?" Dugu Jing asked puzzled.

Chang Ning picked up the teacup, blew on the tea stems in the tea, took a sip, and said, "I don't eat it often, just eat a few pieces when I'm greedy, so you can try it too." After speaking, Chang Ning took out the tea from the box One piece was handed to Dugu Jing.

Dugujing hesitated for a moment, then took it and put it in her mouth.

Chang Ning saw that Dugu Jing ate it mouthful, and asked with big eyes, "How is it, is it delicious?"

Dugu Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "It's delicious, but if my grandpa sees it, I'll be fined to face the wall and think about it."

"It's not always, I also eat a few yuan occasionally. In fact, think about it, women who practice martial arts are really hard enough. Not only do they practice hard every day, but they can't eat this or that. Men are different. There are no taboos, you can eat anything." Chang Ning sighed.

"Chang Ning, I'm a descendant of a martial arts family, and it's normal for people to practice martial arts. You are a princess, so why do you want to practice martial arts?" Dugu Jing asked puzzled.

"I...I practice martial arts because I don't want to be bullied. Well, let's not talk about these unhappy things, Dugu Jing, how old are you this year?" Chang Ning seemed unwilling to mention the past, so he changed the subject road.

"I was born in May of the tenth year of Hongwu. I am 15 years old this year. Chang Ning, I should be older than you."

"I was born on the second day of February in Hongwu 11. I am 14 years old this year. You are nine months older than me. When there are no outsiders, I will call you Sister Jing." Chang Ning said with a smile.

Seeing Chang Ning's frank face, Dugu Jing said, "Okay, with a princess like you, of course I am willing."

"Then, it's a deal.

Sister Jing, what sword technique did you use during the sword competition just now?Very good.If Sanbao hadn't called a stop, I might have lost if the competition continued. "Chang Ning said flatly.

"Actually, I'm going to run out of true energy, and if the competition continues, it's really not certain who will win." Dugu Jing picked up another piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Hearing Dugujing's words, Chang Ning doubtfully said: "Sister Jing, you have defeated Zhang Wuji's son before, and now it has spread throughout the martial arts world. The master told me that the master of Nine Suns has infinite internal energy. Back then, Mingjiao advocated Wuji He is invincible in the world by relying on the Nine Suns Divine Art. His son must not be too bad, you can beat even him, and you are so humble."

Hearing Chang Ning mentioned Zhang Qingming, Dugujing couldn't help but feel agitated, and said silently for a moment: "Zhang Qingming's internal energy is indeed very strong, but it has not yet reached the point where his father Zhang Wuji is inexhaustible. Our victory or defeat is only a hair's breadth away. It was a desperate game to win, if his inner strength is really inexhaustible, I will lose."

"So that's the case. It seems that Zhang Qingming is nothing more than that. Sister Jing, tell me how you won Zhang Qingming." Chang Ning asked curiously.

Dugu Jing took a sip of her tea, recalling the details of the sword fight with Zhang Qingming, and said: "I used the Dugu Nine Swords created by Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, and Zhang Qingming What was displayed was Zhang Zhenren's Tai Chi swordsmanship.

Dugu Nine Swords and Taiji Swordsmanship have one thing in common, they both focus on meaning but not on emphasis, but Dugu Nine Swords pays attention to anticipating the enemy's opportunity first and only attacking but not defending, while Taiji Sword pays attention to attacking others later, which is regarded as a sword move. Each has its own merits.

At about [-] strokes, my breath began to be unstable, and I knew that if I continued to compete like this, I would definitely lose.So, he took the risk to stab at the place where Zhang Qingming's sword energy was strongest, but unexpectedly forced Zhang Qingming back.

So, the luck of my victory is not really much better than Zhang Qingming. "

After listening to Dugu Jing's review, Chang Ning folded his hands on his chest, and said, "According to what you said, the Sun Moon Sect advocates Qingming, so there is still something really wrong?"

"At least in terms of internal strength, Zhang Qingming is much better than me.

That's why I was anxious to go back to Peach Blossom Island to share my experience with my grandfather, hoping to improve my martial arts level, and to compete with him next time and win.Unexpectedly, my father insisted on letting me come to Yihua Palace, so I had no choice but to come. " Dugu sighed quietly.

"So it's like this, you say that, I also want to compete with Zhang Qingming." Chang Ning murmured.

"Chang Ning, I'm leaving for Emei the day after tomorrow. According to the time, Zhang Wuji's family will be able to reach Emei in a couple of days. Then you will be able to see Zhang Qingming." Du Gujing said.

Chang Ning nodded, and said: "Well, then I must compete with him and see if I can beat him."

Hearing what Dugujing said, Chang Ning also looked forward to going to Emei.

……

Emei, do not Junting.

Biejun Pavilion is located at the foot of Mount Emei and is the first gate of the Emei School.

Unlike usual days, Zhou Zhiruo, the head of Emei, who had not left the mountain for a long time, came to Biejunting.

Those who came to Biejunting with her were Zhang Lvliu, the closed disciple, and Zhu'er and He Xian'er who had just arrived in Emei.In addition, Yang Buhui's granddaughter Yin Furong also went down the mountain with everyone.

According to the news from the Emei post station, Zhang Wuji's family had entered Sichuan and Shu a few days ago. According to the mileage, this morning was the day they arrived in Emei.

While waiting, it was always difficult. Zhou Zhiruo, who was already calm, became anxious for some reason, and looked into the distance from time to time.

Zhang Luliu was even more anxious, pacing up and down in the Biejun Pavilion.After ten years, I can finally see my biological parents again. This kind of expectation is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long. Half an hour later, three carriages drove quickly from a distance.

From far to near, it becomes clearer.

Zhang Luliu gently pulled Zhou Zhiruo's sleeve, and said softly, "Master, do you think there will be my parents in the car?"

Zhou Zhiruo stared into the distance, remained silent for a moment, and said emotionally, "Green Liu, it's your parents. Your parents are here to see you."

"Really..." Hearing what the master said, Zhang Luliu's heart felt hot, and tears almost flowed out.

Seeing this, He Xian'er at the side whispered to Zhu'er next to her, "Mother, is your cousin in the carriage?"

"Yeah, it's my cousin, Zeng Aniu back then." Thinking of Zeng Aniu, Zhu'er unconsciously raised her hand, looked at the scar on her hand, and every bit of the past came to her heart .

The carriage moved forward gradually, finally reached the foot of the mountain, and stopped.

The door opened, and two people came out of the first carriage, a man in his 50s wearing a long gown, with gray hair, but not many wrinkles on his face.It may be because of the wind and sun in the grassland, her skin is a bit dark and red; the other woman has a plump figure, with a little white hair on her head, but her face has not aged due to the passage of time, except for a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes , still radiant.

Zhang Lvliu pulled Zhou Zhiruo's sleeve, and said softly, "Master, are these my parents?"

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo's heart was already surging, and she tried her best to calm down and said, "Lu Liu, go see your parents."
