That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 715

Huang Xiao's face changed slightly, and he wiped the sword on his waist, "Sword up!"

I saw the long sword around his waist unsheathed by itself with a clang, like a green dragon leaping out of the river, the sword energy was like a rainbow, drawing a stunning arc in the sky, and piercing an empty space that seemed to be empty.

Sword 25!

An indeterminate sword with no fixed pattern, no direction, and no fixed distance, people don't know where to hide and how to defend.

Sword 36 is undoubtedly the supreme sword book that countless swordsmen in the world dream of, but even the disciples of the Sword Sect can hardly get a glimpse of it. Only direct disciples can learn one or two. A person's aptitude and comprehension, but also to be on the position of the master of Jianzong or the first disciple.

Huang Xiao used to be only one step away from the first disciple of the Sword Sect, but he didn't cross it after all, so his kendo stopped at Sword 25.

But even so, this sword is enough for him to step into the ranks of sword masters.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the seemingly empty place, like a landscape painting being dripped with heavy ink, the ink slowly spread, and then a woman appeared in everyone's field of vision, with a three-pointed smile before saying a word, carrying With both hands, he walked slowly, but Huang Xiao's sword flew back and fell into the master's hand again.

The woman smiled and said: "Xiao Suilong, I haven't seen you for a few years. I don't know if my skills have improved, but my temper has improved."

Meng Suilong laughed and said: "I don't know who it is, it turns out to be Aunt Shangguan."

The woman smiled, then looked at Huang Xiao who was beside Meng Suilong, the expression on her face turned pale, and she said expressionlessly: "I have seen Mr. Huang."

Huang Xiao returned the salute calmly, "Huang Xiao has met Miss Shangguan."

No matter how old a woman is, as long as she is not married, she can be called a girl. It is nothing more than the difference between an old girl and a young girl. Although the girl in front of her looks young, she is called an aunt by a half-year-old boy. Thinking about her real age If she is not so small, then she is an "old girl".

An old girl whose surname was changed back to Shangguan, and when she thought of the news that the fourth master of the Shangguan family died in disorder, the true identity of this woman became clearer.

It was Shangguan Qiushui, the fifth young lady of the Shangguan family.

Speaking of this charming girl from the Shangguan family, I have to mention a past event of a girl with five surnames back then.

From the Great Chu to the Great Zheng, although the clans have declined, the remaining prestige still exists. Compared with the newcomers such as the Dongdu family and the Jiangnan family, the status of the five families of Weiguo, which have been passed down for thousands of years, is more detached and has a solid foundation. The women who come out of the family are called women of the five surnames, but the five aristocratic families rely on their identities and only marry each other among the five families, and few women marry outside.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Great Zheng Dynasty, Xiao Yuan, the Duke of Anguo, who became an official to the chief assistant of the cabinet, once said that he had three hatreds: "Although I am not talented, I am rich and honored. I have three hatreds in my life: I have not been an official since I was an official. If you don’t marry a woman with five surnames, you won’t be able to revise the history of the country.” Among them, the second hatred is that he didn’t marry a woman with five surnames, and Xiao Yuan’s wife was the daughter of Taizong’s younger brother He Jingjun. It can be seen that the family of five surnames even surpassed the Dazheng royal family back then.

During the ten-year competition, the five families of the Wei State placed bets on both sides. Shangguan Jinhong, the patriarch of the Shangguan family, secretly visited Xiao Yu, the most powerful of the princes, and proposed to marry a woman from the five families to Xiao Yu as his side concubine. Xuan Xuan, as well as Shangguan Qiushui, who was one generation lower, were among the candidates. It never occurred to him that Xiao Yu was actually a "person who fears internal affairs", and he directly rejected the proposal to marry a woman with five surnames, and the matter was finally settled.

Now Murong Xuan and Zhang Xueyao are both married, only Shangguan Qiushui is still unmarried.

Shangguan Qiushui nodded, looked at Meng Suilong again, and reprimanded softly: "You came out to make trouble again, and forgot what you suffered in Jiangdu? If your father and sister Meng know that you are still messing around like this, they will not forgive you."

Meng Suilong giggled and said, "Just don't let them know."

Zhang San's face became more and more solemn. Huang Xiao was already difficult for them to deal with, but now with the addition of an unknown Shangguan Qiushui, is it true that the sky is going to kill them old soldiers?

Zhang San took a deep breath and took a step forward.

Meng Suilong looked at the old soldier, and said, "Why, you really want to stand up to the corner, and imitate the character of a scholar who would rather be broken than broken?"

Zhang San calmly said: "During the ten years of fighting for the deer, have you ever heard of soldiers from the Northwest Army who surrendered without a fight?"

Meng Suilong sneered and said: "Old man, let me remind you that this year is the 23rd year of Taiping, not a decade of competition, and you are not soldiers of the Northwest Army, but just a few bullies in Jiuyuan City , I will act as a righteous person for the heavens today."

Zhang San calmly said: "Whether it's ten years of fighting for the deer or the 23rd year of Taiping, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether we are veterans of the Northwest Army or not. It's just that there are some things. .”

After all, Zhang San stepped forward, his steps were steady, and he regarded death as home.

Li Si and Zhang Xiu followed suit, and the three had no regrets or fears.

Shangguan Qiushui's face was indifferent, and he did not feel happy to bully the small, nor did he feel any compassion because these old soldiers regarded death as home.

Meng Suilong said in words: "By the way, I forgot to tell you three things. Compared with you three stubborn stinky stones, the other veterans are much stronger. My father has As the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes, and these few are considered heroes, and you guys are out of your minds."

Meng Suilong took a step back, Huang Xiao then took a step forward, and said flatly: "Since you all want to die, then I will help you."

Zhang San suddenly stopped walking, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although Huang Xiao is not well-known in the Central Plains, many people don't even know that Gongsun Zhongmou had such a disciple. Now when it comes to Gongsun Zhongmou's disciples, everyone's first reaction is that they have been born in recent years Xu Gongzi, but in the territory of Wei, he is one of the few masters of swordsmanship. He just joined the ghost palace, and he has a "junior brother" Xu Beiyou who everyone knows, so the word Huang Xiao is gradually forgotten by the world. , How high his kendo realm is, that is beyond Zhang San's ability to know.

Huang Xiao is just like Shangguan Feng, he only has a name in the Ghost Palace, and he doesn't manage the affairs himself, and he has his own identities on the surface, so he is not among the four great kings of the underworld. It's just that he has done a lot for the Ghost Palace over the years. He did a lot of dirty work, and he had fought against many masters. There were as many as three monks in the fairyland who died under his sword.

There are only a hundred Earth Immortal cultivators in the world, the Daoist sect alone occupies 30 people, and the imperial court occupies about 20 more, and the two families divide up half of the country, and the remaining 50 people are scattered among the various sects, such as Zhang San. There are only ten people at most.

Huang Xiaoping most yearns for the transcendent state of master Shangguan Xianchen who kills one person in ten steps, so he especially likes to kill the earth immortal monks of various sects. Everyone can die under his sword. The three Earth Immortal cultivators he killed were one from Taoism, one from the Daqi court, and one from Buddhism. He had never killed a casual cultivator in the realm of Earth Immortal.

If he kills another casual cultivator in the realm of the earth fairy today, it can be regarded as making up for his little regret.

Of course, the person he wanted to kill the most was that junior brother who was famous all over the world.

Xu Beiyou.
