Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 21: Chapter Seven
collapse!
The heavy tobacco rod collided with the light sword blade, and sparks shot out.

"On this level?"

The corners of Li Bai's eyes twitched slightly - he could feel the opponent's pure and sophisticated sword skills, and his ability to adapt was still higher than his own, which could be said to be impeccable.

It's a pity that he has lost all vigor.

More than enough defense, not enough offense!
"There are so many reasons, I will say it after you win!

"Want to win you, isn't that easy?"

The Great Elder suddenly laughed mockingly, and immediately after that, Li Bai's eyes blurred.

The red-hot copper rod knocked on his forehead at a speed he hadn't expected, without mercy.Li Bai was stunned for a moment, and wanted to block, but the elusive smoke rod bypassed his defense with ease, and knocked again!
His eyes darkened, and he was almost out of breath.

I don't understand why the Great Elder became so fast.

Soon, he understood.

It's not that the Great Elder is too fast, it's me...too slow!

Not only his reaction and consciousness, but also his body began to sluggish, his hands and feet became numb, and a strong drowsiness emerged from his consciousness, quickly engulfing him.

In a strong trance, he dropped his sword blade and was blocked by the great elder. Then, the smoke rod was lifted up and aimed at his forehead.

Snapped!
Li Bai fell to the ground.

Until now, I can smell the weird sweetness mixed in the pungent tobacco smell.

"Using poison..." He panted with difficulty: "Despicable!"

And the Great Elder triumphantly spat out an antidote pill from his mouth, shook his head and looked down: "The rivers and lakes are too shallow, Li Bai. You can't even pass this level with me. Why are you fighting with Wu Yougong and those villains?"

In the front, Chen Shi, who was driving, turned his head helplessly, with two pieces of cloth stuffed in his nostrils, and said in a muffled voice, "I think the fact that you drugged people before the duel is considered a villain's act, right?"

"Hmph, what do you know? Bad people are evil, and good people must be worse than bad people. Otherwise, how can you live a good life..."

The Great Elder blew his whistle without shame, and said to the drowsy Li Bai: "Don't worry, I will send you to the safest place in Chang'an City, and come out after the limelight passes, kid!"

He paused for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "Just take it as your reward for making Yao Yu, a bad gambler, change his past."

Li Bai was engulfed by darkness.

Never know what happened again.

It's like just being in a trance for a moment.

When Li Bai opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had completely changed.

But a blurry figure slowly emerged in front of him, it seemed to be the Great Elder, who was pinching the beard on his chin, and smiling at him proudly, which made him angry from the heart, and regardless of the exhaustion of his body, he forced himself to jump up, punched and died. go.

"Despicable and shameless, even poisoned!"

In an instant, everything in front of him changed again.

Li Bai only felt that he had punched an invisible iron wall, not only did he not hit anything, but his hands hurt like hell.

He fell on the bed again and couldn't get up.

gasping for breath.

"Do young people like sports so much now? It's really rare. Let's play with two stone locks for fun later?"

The person at the head of the bed laughed loudly, brought a bowl of bitter well water, opened Li Bai's mouth roughly, and poured it in for him involuntarily, causing him to cough violently.

The ice water poured into Li Bai's throat, which quickly dissipated Li Bai's drowsiness and drowsiness.

Then, finally see clearly.

I was actually lying in a spacious bedroom, with a strong smell of sweat floating in the air, as if a lazy man who didn't take a bath danced with a gun all day long, it was suffocating.

Then, he also saw clearly the grinning figure beside him.

It's hard to describe the impact.

Such a playful and insolent smile, like a beast, brought unprecedented impact.

The middle-aged man was pinching his chin and laughing strangely, his beards spread out like steel needles.And the muscles that are heavy and solid like armor are beating slightly under the restraint of the weak linen, ready to come out.

"Boy awake?"

The middle-aged man, who was as ferocious as a beast, grinned and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I... am I okay?"

Li Bai rubbed his face blankly, not knowing what happened: "Where is this place? How long have I... how long have I been asleep?"

"Here? It's my home."

The middle-aged man replied: "Since you were sent by the elders, your kid has been sleeping for three days... If you want me to say, you still haven't exercised enough. Look, like me, that kind of anesthetic is drunk as water!"

As he said that, he raised his arm, and his muscles like gold and iron swelled high, causing the clothes on his body to crack again.

Li Bai was dumbfounded.

Where did this monster come from?
wrong……

"Three days!"

Li Bai lost his voice, got up instinctively, and rushed out of the house, but just stepped out of the door, only to find that the middle-aged man behind him appeared strangely in the wide courtyard.

stop in front of him.

"You can't go."

"Why?" Li Bai was annoyed, "This gentleman can't open a black shop, allowing people to enter but not leaving?"

"It doesn't matter if you want to say that, but it's the first time I've done something like kidnapping."

The burly man smiled slightly: "I am very caring, but I can't bear to see you die in front of my house after walking out of the gate. It's very troublesome to clean up, what if I scare my house janitor?
The thousand-day drunkenness on your body, even if it is a top master, you will fall into a coma for a month. If you wake up in three days, you may not even be able to hold your sword in the next few days... Why rush to die?

Be honest, it's good for you and me. "

"No." Li Bai shook his head decisively, "My friend is waiting for me."

"Oh, don't worry about that. A little ghost named Li Xiang has been visiting you frequently these two days and asked me to tell you." He said, "Your friend is safe and sound, so don't worry."

Hearing what he said, Li Bai heaved a sigh of relief, but he still didn't intend to do what the bastard Great Elder wanted.

"Get out of the way, sir."

Li Bai shook his head, "There is no relationship between us, and I don't want any trouble to implicate you."

"Ha, it's a good heart!"

The man laughed loudly: "But don't worry, as long as you stay at my house, you won't have any troubles, and everything will be fine. If someone really doesn't open their eyes to come and ask for trouble, just punch them."

"Sorry, I'm not joking."

Li Bai raised his voice: "Please step aside."

"..."

The burly man sighed: "Little devil, I'm living a good life, why can't I think about it? Besides, my temper has a limit."

"Then I'm sorry."

Li Bai took a deep breath and didn't waste any more time.

Although I feel sorry for this kind uncle, there is really nothing I can do now.

Even without a sword, he still has hands, which are enough...

Bang!
Suddenly his eyes went dark, he staggered back two steps, raised his right arm in front of him and felt a sharp pain, as if he had been slammed by an iron rod, but he didn't know what happened.

And the guy was still on the spot, looking at his ten fingers as thick as gold and iron.

"Boy, this little strength is not enough."

He shook his head helplessly: "Go back and rest, how about we stew beef for you to mend it tonight? I fell to my head two days ago in my field..."

It's unimaginable, such an amazing skill.

Li Bai was shocked for a long time, but he still didn't give up. He clenched his fists and moved forward step by step.Suddenly picked up, grabbed the guy's arm, and tripped!
He is not a waste who will be beaten back to his original shape after leaving the sword. Even if his hands and feet are weak, he can still surprise this guy.

But the first half went well, but something went wrong in the second half.

He grabbed the man's arm, but it felt like he was grabbing a solid piece of steel, and he couldn't move it at all. Even if he tried his best, the opponent still remained motionless.

Take root!

Li Bai was stunned, and he pulled hard in disbelief, but it still had no effect.

There is indeed a problem!
Then, he heard his sigh.

"...Look at these slender arms and legs, I haven't exercised yet..."

The wind blows!

Li Bai's eyes widened, and he only had time to raise his arms to block his eyes, and slid back from the ground.

Stagger back.

The two arms quickly became bruised.

His fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"Young man, don't be stubborn." Behind the wall, a familiar dark face protruded, and sincerely advised: "Master is very powerful, you are not his opponent."

"Kunlun Mole!"

Li Bai was at a loss: "Why are you here?!"

"...Thanks to my little brother for helping me defend, Dali Temple didn't arrest me and punish me."

The security guard at Yunjianlou smiled honestly and scratched his head: "I live on the street and have no job. Fortunately, the master took me in. I am here to guard the gate now."

"Don't worry, the master won't let you have any trouble." He persuaded: "Don't be afraid, there is enough food here!"

"Who cares if there is enough food!"

Li Bai was furious, and turned his head to stare at the opponent in front of him: "I will never stay here today!"

This time, after knowing that the opponent in front of him was unusual, he had decided to go all out.

Even without a sword in hand.

But sword energy is definitely not such a lame thing.

"Hey, uncle, be careful not to flash your waist..."

Li Bai raised his hand, shaking off a strand of blood on his wrist, and then raised his fingers together like a sword, and an ethereal blue sword intent came out from it.

That is not inferior to the sharpness of any famous sword!

At that moment, the middle-aged man who stood loosely on the spot raised his head and sighed silently.

As for Li Bai, he had already broken through the air, and his sword intent fell!
At that moment, the sound of cracking was endless.

It's not the destruction of the sword intent, but as if... some shackles of restraint have been broken.

Right in front of his eyes, the burly man's eyes burst into fiery light, and the sackcloth on his body was shattered and exploded!
What was revealed was a robust body covered in scars and wounds.

The muscles bulged rapidly, and the metallic colors of black iron and brass appeared, just like a giant made of gold and iron, containing indescribable fitness and strength.

"Fighting can bring the relationship closer!"

The man grinned and grinned:

"Come on, let's practice!"

This time, Li Bai finally saw his movements clearly.

In the almost frozen time, the man slowly raised his arm, clenched his fingers, aimed at Li Bai's chest, and punched.

Then, boom! ! !

There was a loud noise, and a wave of air swept across.

Li Bai felt that he had bumped into a speeding mechanical carriage head-on, and flew backwards involuntarily, hitting the water tank in the courtyard, and then was doused with cold water amidst the sound of the water tank breaking.

But it's not over yet.

In the wild laughter of excitement, the burly man came roaring again, punching!
Then there is no more then.

When Li Bai woke up, he realized that he was hit by that punch from the front yard of the noisy mansion into the back hall. After breaking through the three-story gate, he fell into the main hall and landed on a grand master's chair. Take it easy.

Under his feet, in front of the huge tiger skin, the ferocious tiger seemed to roll its eyes, looking at this overconfident young man.

However, such a terrifying blow did not cause Li Bai any injuries, but he lost his strength and became dizzy, unable to get up at all.

Li Bai could hardly feel his hands.

Bruised hands.

But the fighting spirit became more and more fierce, and he was full of curiosity: "You bastard, who are you..."

"Me? A kind person passing by!"

Outside the hall, the burly bearded man raised his thick arms, posed in a fit pose, and laughed triumphantly: "The messenger of kindness and kindness, the embodiment of handsome and righteous beauty, has won the sixteenth consecutive championship of pure men's fitness!" The champion of the competition, the top ten males in Chang'an City!"

"—Cheng Yaojin, it's me!"

In fact, Li Bai never heard who Cheng Yaojin was.

But he really wanted to say that he had admired him for a long time, that he was disrespectful and disrespectful, but it seemed that no one had heard of such a powerful character on Chang'an Street, but he was clearly too strong.

Rather, this is one of the strongest people Li Bai met when he came to Chang'an.

Even, even with a sword in hand, it may not necessarily be a sure win.

But the problem is... among the series of titles he reported, is there any reliable one?
But this does not prevent him from continuing on the road to freedom.

Simply put, it's fighting.

"Come again!"

He propped himself up from the chair, stood firm, raised his numb arms, and clenched his fingers: "It's not over yet!"

"Very well, boy—I'm beginning to like your bad temper."

Cheng Yaojin moved his neck, and there was a crisp sound of joint friction, and he smiled happily: "The warm-up exercise is over, are you ready to exercise?"

Without waiting for Li Bai to answer.

The beast grinned.

Strong wind, howling!

The fierce battle with no end in sight begins here!
When Li Xiang came to visit in the evening, Li Bai was paralyzed on the ground and could not move. He was still too young to compete with such a monster-level opponent.

From the very beginning, the two sides were not on a fair starting line.

On the other hand, Cheng Yaojin was still alive and kicking except for the two bruises on his eye sockets. After the fight with Kunlun Molejiao, the two began to discuss with great interest whether the one hundred catty stone lock is now Too light, go out of the city to find a barren hill another day and move a new one back.

Seeing Li Xiang approaching, he burst out laughing, took the boy over and rubbed his hair for a long time, and patted him on the shoulder without any notice.

"Little devil, I said, can your little body, which can collapse when the wind blows, be able to carry it every day?"

Cheng Yaojin warmly invited: "I see that you are very talented and have a promising future, why don't you stop playing the pipa and stay and practice with me?
In two years, he will also become a healthy and beautiful man, and maybe he can even be on the list of the top ten most beautiful men in Chang'an, competing with me for one or two, hahaha, but if you win, you will definitely not beat me..."

After finishing speaking, he began to laugh triumphantly, raised his arms, and showed off his exaggerated muscles.

I completely forgot that Lixiang can't see anything...

"Mr. Cheng is ridiculous."

Li Xiang smiled wryly and shook his head: "People like me, let alone exercising, even if they can't walk well, how can there be..."

"That's why I need to exercise more!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "There is nothing terrible about the incompleteness of the body, but there is no cure for the weakness of the will.

If I don't even have the confidence and courage to do what I can, how can the weak be strong?Boy, hold your head up and be confident!Come on, shout with me - I can do it! "

"I... can do it?" Li Xiang mustered up the courage to repeat.

"It's not a question sentence, it's an affirmative sentence!"

"I...cough cough, can I do it?"

"..."

Cheng Yaojin was speechless, and bumped his head against the stone lock helplessly.

"Why do you guys always go wrong..." He pulled his beard helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, you can't expect to develop perfect muscles in one day, eat first and then talk!
Mo Le came over to help, let's have a good meal today! "

When he heard that there was something to eat, Kunlun Mole's eyes lit up, and he threw down the stone lock in his hand excitedly and followed Cheng Yaojin to the kitchen to help.

That's it, no more disturbing the conversation between their two friends.

Although it looks rough and bold, in fact, this guy's mind is always inexplicably delicate... The only question is, is the meal this guy cooks really edible?

Hairy raw meat?Burnt rice?There is also a big pot that is piled up with some ghost stuff?

Li Bai took a breath, and suddenly felt that he was not far away from starving to death.

"Eh? Are my hands heavy?"

Li Xiang, who applied the wound medicine to him, was at a loss, "I'm sorry, I'll take it easy."

"No, it was me who flinched."

Li Bai shook his head and sighed, looking at this slender and thin young man who was always oversensitive, felt helpless for a while.

"Be more confident, Li Xiang." He lay on the ground and said seriously: "That guy Cheng Yaojin is right, you are very powerful."

"Where is it."

Li Xiang smiled slightly: "Compared to people like Mr. Li Bai and Brother Xun Qing, I'm just a kid who can play the piano..."

"They're all locked up here, just don't be treated as a joke." Li Bai sighed, "How's Xun Qing doing? Nothing happened, right?"

Li Xiang shook his head.

"Everything is fine, and he keeps saying that if you have to rely on you to solve everything, he will be too shameful... Knowing that you are with Mr. Cheng, he is also relieved a lot, and asked me to tell you not to worry, this Let’s see his performance for the first time.”

The young man smiled admiringly: "It's really amazing. Since meeting Mr. Li Bai, it's like a different person. Now he has become the backbone of the workshop and has helped many people.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't know what to do. "

"He is that kind of person, Li Xiang, and has nothing to do with others."

Li Bai shook his head, not satisfied with the young man's relief: "Even without me, sooner or later he will achieve something - rather, it makes me feel even more ashamed."

For some reason, I remembered the words of the Great Elder.

Swords can't solve everything.

It is true.

In this world, besides death and violence, there are better things worth pursuing.

like poetry...

This is something Li Bai, as an outsider, cannot do.

"It's different, that guy."

Li Bai praised sincerely: "You are much stronger than before... Li Xiang, you will definitely be very powerful in the future, because you are a courageous person."

Li Xiang paused, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"That kind of thing is too extravagant, Mr. Li Bai." He said softly, "For me, as long as I can play the piano every day, it is enough."

"It will get better, Li Xiang, isn't Xun Qing working hard?"

Li Bai propped up his body, grinning and rubbing the bruise on his neck: "I will work hard too, and when I beat that guy Cheng Yaojin, I will help."

"Hahaha, it's still early!"

In the distance, Cheng Yaojin laughed triumphantly, and waved to them: "It's time to eat, hurry up, and Mole will eat it up if it's late!"

I don't want to eat at all!

Li Bai originally wanted to say this, but there was a burst of sweet and spicy smell in the air, which made him stunned for a long time, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

When he walked to the dining table, his eyes were illuminated by a bright golden light.
