I, Ding Xiu, am the number one killer of Gu Long Martial Arts!

Chapter 71 Asking for directions and passing the sword (asking for votes)
In the study, in front of the desk, Ding Xiu was writing furiously while waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guest. In recent days, with his great success in martial arts, his mentality has gradually become very different from before.

In the past, although he had practiced martial arts, he had never competed with the world's top masters. He didn't know the depth of his martial arts, so he always had a sense of crisis in his heart.

Feeling threatened, he cherished the martial arts he learned very much and did not dare to spread it to others. He was afraid that someone would steal it and develop a targeted restraint method. Wouldn't he be in trouble by then?

But now it's different!

In one year, he rose from nothing to become the number one killer in Qingyi Tower; Gongsun Lan, Huo Tianqing, and other top masters in the world were all defeated by him; even Ximen Chuixue, who had climbed to the top of the world, and even his professor His mentor, Dugu Yihe, was defeated by his own sword!
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Ding Xiu seemed to be somewhat invincible. Under such circumstances, the sense of crisis that had been hidden in his heart for a long time was naturally swept away. What replaced it was an unprecedented level of absolute confidence!
At this moment, he is writing about the Small Broken Knife Steps. Last time at Emei Xuanzhen Temple, the Eight Methods of Imitation had been practiced in public and passed on to his fellow disciples. Now, the Small Broken Knife Steps should also be passed down, but I don’t know how. If he does this, will Xuanzhenguan, the Emei Sword Sect, change its sect and become the Shenxiao Sword Sect!
In a moment, the writing of his thoughts was coming to an end. At this moment, two familiar figures came to the door together. He seemed to have been aware of this for a long time. He wrote the last word and then said hello: "Hua Brother, Brother Lu, please come in quickly, why are you here so early in the morning?"

The visitors were none other than Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng. After hearing Ding Xiu's greetings, the two entered the room. Immediately, Lu Xiaofeng bowed his hands and replied: "To be honest, the two of us are here this time. Are you asking Brother Ding about something?"

"what!"

When Ding Xiu saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's rare that you, Lu Xiaofeng, are so polite. After all, I will tell you everything you want to know."

"In that case, I'll ask."

Lu Xiaofeng was not a polite person. After hearing Ding Xiu's promise, he immediately said without hesitation: "I want to know where my old friend Huo Xiu has settled in Shanxi. I would like to ask Brother Ding for some advice."

"Good to say."

Ding Xiu smiled and replied: "I only found out after taking over the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion that Huo Xiu has two residences nearby. One is Changqing Villa in the east of the city. I believe Brother Lu should also know about it."

"Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The scenery there is nice, and I even drank there. However, Brother Ding should know that I am not asking about that place."

"of course."

Ding Xiu replied without hesitation: "I know that what Brother Lu wants to ask about is actually a building. To be honest, that building is actually on the mountain behind the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion."

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were both slightly startled. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xiaofeng asked pointedly: "Brother Ding, do you know what kind of building that is?"

"Know a thing or two."

Ding Xiu replied calmly: "It is said that Huo Xiu spent a lot of money to carefully build that building and hired many skilled craftsmen. After it was completed, he specially invited Zhu Ting, the best expert in the world, to come and set up the mechanism formation. , so it’s not easy to get in.”

"what!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng immediately responded with a confident chuckle: "Brother Ding, please don't worry. Zhu Ting's wife and I are close friends. It's not easy to get the entry method."

"is it?"

Seeing the surprised look on Lu Xiaofeng's face, Ding Xiu immediately poured cold water on him without shame: "Unfortunately, I have some bad news here. I'm afraid you don't know about it, Brother Lu."

"Bad news?" Lu Xiaofeng heard this and couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "What bad news?"

Ding Xiudao: "Zhu Ting had disappeared long before I came to Shanxi. According to what the landlady said, I speculate that he should have been taken away by people from Qingyi Tower."

"Tsing Yi Building?"

Hua Manlou said in surprise: "Isn't Zhu Ting more likely to be in trouble than in danger?"

"Not necessarily."

Ding Xiu shook his head and replied: "On the [-]th floor of Qingyi, there are so many machine formations that need to be arranged. It would be too wasteful to kill a skilled craftsman like Zhu Ting. So, if you move quickly enough, there is still a chance. .”

"Thank you, Brother Ding, for your advice, Xiaohua, let's go!"

After hearing that Zhu Ting was killed, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't wait any longer. In addition, he had already obtained the information he wanted from Ding Xiu, so without saying a word, he said goodbye to Huamanlou and went straight to the back mountain of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion.

"what!"

Watching the two of them leave, Ding Xiu couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Then, he took the secret book of small broken sword steps that he had just written on the desk and went straight to the courtyard of his master Dugu Yihe.

As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving in time. As soon as Ding Xiu entered the courtyard, he saw Dugu Yihe walking in the courtyard, so he stepped forward with a smile and presented the secret book of Xiao Shaodaobu.

When Dugu Yihe saw it, he immediately knew that this was his beloved disciple's unique skill. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Lao Liu, are you worried that Master, I just suffered a defeat, or that I can't think about it?"

"how is this possible?"

Ding Xiu quickly replied righteously: "Master, although you missed a move last night, in the eyes of the disciples, the disadvantage was mostly due to the body shape and footwork. This small sword-breaking step can just make up for the master's shortcomings. If we fight again, we may not be defeated."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just accept it."

Although Dugu Yihe was too proud to take away the martial arts secrets from his apprentice, he still felt a little reluctant after thinking about last night's defeat, so after several hesitations, he finally accepted the small broken knife offered by Ding Xiu. step.

"Master, please feel free to rest here. If you need anything, just ask me. I'm going to deal with the trivial matters in Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion. I may not come back until later."

After bidding farewell to Dugu Yihe, Ding Xiu was about to leave Yan Mansion, but he never thought that Shangguan Feiyan had been waiting for him at the gate for a long time. Obviously, like Gongsun Lan, she was also a thoughtful person who wore red shoes.

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and invited with a smile: "Today is a clear sky and beautiful scenery. It's a good day to go out for an outing. I thought I was the only one with free time, but I didn't expect you, Feiyan, to be the same!"

Shangguan Feiyan smiled sweetly and said, "I wonder where Mr. Ding is going for an outing?"

Ding Xiu replied: "It's not far away. Let's go to the back mountain of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion. I heard that Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world, has built a pavilion there. I just happened to go and have a look. If Feiyan is fine, just go with me. "

Faced with Ding Xiu's invitation, Shangguan Feiyan would not refuse to agree, otherwise she would not be waiting here. At that moment, the two of them went out hand in hand and headed straight to the back mountain of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion.
