That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 4

After a short rest, the seven-member team continued to march towards the ancient battlefield. Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and there were no birds or animals. There was even a faint mist around it. Xu Beiyou's face became more and more dignified, and There was a slight smile on the face of the white-clothed boy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are getting closer to the purpose of this trip.

Through the conversation with the woman, Xu Beiyou roughly figured out the identities of these people. The leading man in white was from the imperial capital, named Duanmuyu, and the three young men with sabers were three brothers, who seemed to be the generals from Xiliangzhou. , named Li Song, Li Hua, and Li Heng respectively, and the local snake was born and bred in Shanzhou. If it weren't for the fact that these young masters wanted to play a trick of private visits, just this local yamen would be enough to alarm Dan. The big and small officials of Xiazhai.

As for the identity of the woman, she didn't say anything, so Xu Beiyou didn't ask much.

After the group of people walked for about half an hour, the surroundings suddenly became cold and damp, and the mounts of the six people began to be restless. Except for the female Sa Luzi, the other five horses even showed different degrees of panic.

"Xu Beiyou, have you seen Yin soldiers?" The woman riding on Sa Luzi was very calm, her expression still as calm as water.

Xu Beiyou, who was walking in the front, didn't look back, "I've seen it before, it's just a pair of armor, haunting, but that was three or four years ago, I accidentally strayed into this place, and almost died in the hands of these ghosts."

The woman seemed to be aroused, and then asked: "The book says that Yin soldiers are between the visible and the invisible. Ordinary swords and guns are hard to hurt. Unless the entire set of armor is smashed and it loses its shelter, it is extremely difficult to kill. , then how did you escape?"

Xu Beiyou paused, and calmly spoke two words: "Use a sword."

The woman nodded thoughtfully, neither surprised nor questioned.

However, Li Song and the others sneered unceremoniously, their disdain was palpable, obviously they didn't believe that a bumpkin like Xu Beiyou really knew how to use a sword.

With a sword, it doesn't mean that you can use a sword if you know how to put on airs.

Not to mention those immortals who lie high in the clouds, the imperial court divided the secular warriors into nine ranks according to the nine-rank system of official positions, the ordinary local soldiers were divided into nine ranks, the elite personal soldiers who were all commanding envoys were divided into eight ranks, and the frontier soldiers were divided into seven ranks , the elite sixth-rank scouts of the frontier army, the fifth-rank personal guards of some powerful governors, the fourth-rank soldiers of the three thousand battalions of the imperial capital's forbidden army, the third-rank internal guards and hidden guard masters, and the first-rank and second-rank masters, or become enshrined in the Ministry of Punishment , or become the commander of the internal guards and hidden guards, and what's more, they will be hired as guest ministers by the dignitaries.

All in all, as long as you are good at it, you can look like a human being no matter if you are eating official food or Jianghu food.You, Xu Beiyou, said that to be able to defeat Yin soldiers, you must have the strength of the sixth and seventh ranks, so why did you become such a down-and-out look like you are now?

Xu Beiyou didn't make any excuses, but just took the long sword wrapped in cotton cloth from his back and held it in his hand.

After a group of people continued to go deeper for more than a hundred steps, a series of fuzzy black figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

Yin soldier!

Xu Beiyou and Duanmuyu discovered these black shadows almost at the same time, and their faces changed slightly. The difference was that Duanmuyu was excited, but Xu Beiyou was worried. These Yin soldiers might still be concerned about these nobles when they were alive. The identity and background of the children, but since you are dead, it doesn't matter whether you are the emperor's daughter or the prime minister's son, you can still be killed.

Duanmuyu looked at the black shadows approaching with great interest, with the air of not changing his face before Mount Tai collapsed, and said with a smile: "Xu Beiyou, are you sure you can kill these things? A 100 taels silver."

Xu Beiyou frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Duanmuyu said calmly: "In about half an hour, the mirage scene of the two armies fighting back then will reappear here. If you want to see the scenery, you should naturally be quieter."

Xu Beiyou is at war with heaven and man.

The woman riding Sa Luzi shook her head at Xu Beiyou, and said softly, "Don't force it."

After a brief silence, Xu Beiyou first smiled at the woman, then turned to look at Duanmuyu, and said a good word emphatically.

Duanmu Yugao sat on the horse and looked down at Xu Beiyou condescendingly, as if he was looking at a clown.

Xu Beiyou remained expressionless, and slowly shook off the cotton cloth wrapped around the long sword.

The next moment, the sword was unsheathed.

Then everyone saw a bright sword light across the line of sight.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Beiyou had already come to a Yin soldier. This Yin soldier was wearing a pitch-black armor. It looked like the armor of the frontier army decades ago, but after years of fighting and time passing, it was already incomplete. There is a continuous black breath overflowing between them.

Holding the sword in one hand, Xu Beiyou stabbed the Yin Bing directly in the face. The sword was so fast that it was like a startling rainbow, with an air of indomitable momentum.

Li Song and the others who had laughed at Xu Beiyou before were a little dumbfounded. Could it be that they were mistaken, this bumpkin from the Northwest is really a master?
The woman looked at Xu Beiyou's figure, with a bit of surprise on her face that couldn't be concealed, "This is... Jian Yi, even if you die nine times, you won't regret it?"

Then Xu Beiyou drew his sword and retreated, then turned around and drew a big circle with the long sword in his hand, lightly blocking the long knives from the rest of the Yin soldiers.

The yin soldier's downward slash was enough to cut an ordinary person in half from head to toe, but under Xu Beiyou's sword, it seemed weak and weak, and it was deflected away with just a light swipe.

Seeing this scene, the woman finally confirmed the previous guess in her mind. The expression under the hood was complicated. She seemed a little relieved, but also a little regretful. She sighed softly: "Jian Er, the prescription is round .”

Xu Beiyou used the third sword again, the light of the sword was brilliant, intertwined into a net, covering all these Yin soldiers.

"Jian San, cover the sky without leaking."

The woman murmured softly, "I didn't expect to see Jianzong 36 here, it really was a worthwhile trip."

The woman stopped watching the subsequent battles.

Although Xu Beiyou's cultivation base is still weak, and he can't use the true spirit of sword 36, but to deal with these Yin soldiers, it is already like killing chickens with a sledgehammer.

Why did Xu Beiyou dare to lead this group of official children here?It is precisely because of a sword manual and a long sword left by the old man back then.

One person and one sword.

The name of the sword is Tianlan.

Xu Beiyou held Tian Lan, without hesitation, and walked among the Yin soldiers with a frightening momentum.

After the three swords, there are still these three swords.

There are only three swords.

But it is better than thousands of swords in the world.

The sword momentum is done in one go.Destroy the enemy and destroy the dead.

Except for Duanmuyu who was still calm, everyone else was dumbfounded.

This kid's swordsmanship is not bad?It's a fairy swordsmanship without half a touch of ingenuity!
Especially the three brothers of the Li family. The three of them were born generals and had contact with many masters in the army. It can be seen that Xu Beiyou's realm is not high, about six ranks, but in this realm, no one can be as good as Xu Beiyou Harmonious and wishful, it can even be associated with the word Xuanmiao.

Not to mention them, even Duanmuyu, who was used to seeing the big world, fell silent for a while.

When Xu Beiyou retracted his sword and returned, the snake muttered softly, "Warrior."

The three brothers of the Li family no longer had the contemptuous look they had before, Li Song's face was full of emotion, and he muttered to himself: "Good swordsmanship."

The woman turned her head slightly and looked towards Duanmuyu who was beside her. From this angle, she could only see his side face.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if the woman seized the opportunity just right, an imperceptible ferociousness just happened to flash across the corner of Duanmuyu's mouth.

The woman who had a panoramic view of all this looked back, and a cold smile appeared on her face hidden under the hood.

This noble young man who looked at Xu Beiyou with gloomy eyes may not know that at this moment, he has been wiped out from the long list of candidates by the woman, and his little idea of ​​embracing a beautiful woman will never be realized. hope.
