Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 164 The Snow Night Covenant ([-])

What should be said, what can be said, but Li Wenxuan has already said everything that Li Wenxuan himself knows. As for whether the beggar can listen to it, whether he believes it or not, whether he will kill or release Li Wenxuan, and whether the two will be enemies or friends in the end, this is the question. At that time, Li Wenxuan couldn't control him any more. We could only see how the beggar was thinking at the moment.

The beggar's steps moved slightly, and his body slowly turned. Although the beggar's clothes were ragged, his bones seemed to be very proud. He had always looked at Li Wenxuan from the side, but now he was really talking to Li Wenxuan directly.Moreover, the beggar's footsteps were originally silent on the ground, without sinking into the snow. At this time, there was a creaking sound under his feet. Presumably, he had relaxed his vigilance and let go of a lot of skill.

"If...if what you said is true... then of course you have practiced the Wanhua Swordsmanship before? Haven't you?" The beggar's voice was particularly deep in this snowy night, deep but piercing. Penetrating power, through the cold night, knocked on Li Wenxuan's forehead.

Li Wenxuan nodded, and replied: "Senior, to be honest, this sword technique... I have only scratched the surface. My father felt that he was ashamed of Pinjian Villa, so he didn't practice this sword technique at all. When I obtained this sword manual, my father had already been murdered by an adulterer, so I practiced these sword techniques by myself according to the sword manual. There may be some places where my practice is not quite right. I always feel... I feel that Wanhua swordsmanship is not as powerful as my father said..."

"Bastard!" The beggar took a step forward suddenly, clenched his fists again, and said: "The reason why Pinjian Villa became famous in the world back then is that the righteous people in the world respected the previous owners of the villa. When the treacherous villain heard the name of Pinjian Villa, he ran away with his head in his arms, relying on the credit of this sword manual, how dare you speak so brazenly when you are young!"

When Li Wenxuan saw that he offended the master again with his careless words, he hurriedly apologized and said, "The sword manual is really powerful...but it's just...the people who practiced this sword manual are too dull to comprehend its mysteries. That's why Wanhua Swordsmanship is ashamed." Li Wenxuan said in his mouth, but he thought in his heart: "If I really mastered Wanhua Swordsmanship, then the one who is talking good things here at this time is you, a weirdo. How could it be me?" Li Wenxuan muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face, and continued: "But I haven't mastered my swordsmanship, besides I am relatively dull...in fact, there are other things. s reason."

"What's the reason? Don't be foolish. Be honest and tell me what's the reason!" The beggar seemed a little anxious.

"Ahem——" Li Wenxuan cleared his throat and continued: "The other thing is that the back of this sword manual is missing a few pages. I heard from my father that the Wanhua Sword Art originally had thirteen moves, but because the back is incomplete Now, the original thirteen moves only left the first ten moves. I remember the first ten moves by heart, but I didn't feel any mystery. After the ten moves, the last three moves of the Wanhua swordsmanship I haven't learned it before, so when I practiced there, I couldn't continue to practice the following ones. Although I memorized all the previous sword moves proficiently, I still couldn't use them well."

"Three strokes are missing? How could this happen?" The beggar hastily opened the sword manual, ignoring the front, and just looked at the next few pages. Sure enough, the back was indeed missing a few pages. The beggar screamed and asked Said: "What's going on here? Tell me, did you destroy it! Why is there no sword move behind?"

Li Wenxuan knew that this person had high martial arts skills and a strange temper. He seemed to have a deep connection with Pinjian Villa just like himself, so he didn't dare to hide anything, and replied truthfully: "When my father got the sword manual, The next few pages were missing, and my father found it very strange afterwards, but since he had already left the villa, there was no way to inquire about it. Anyway, my father didn’t intend to practice the above sword skills, so he hid the sword manual in the backyard Among them, it was not until a few days ago that the sword manual of Wanhua Sword Art was handed over to me. When it comes to why a few pages are missing, I am even more unclear. Who destroyed it."

The beggar seemed very unwilling, and continued to ask: "Master... where is Mrs. Lu! Didn't you recognize him? Does he know the reason for this?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head, sighed and said: "This incident is very regrettable. Although I met the old lady in the villa that day, the old lady recognized my origin at that time, but I didn't know where the old lady was. Who is it, so I didn't ask about the sword manual."

"It's strange, this sword manual has always been regarded as something more important than life by the master... Lu, the old master, how could this sword manual be damaged!" said the beggar, his eyes were fascinated by the Wanhua sword manual, as if Very sad.

Naturally, Li Wenxuan also saw the strange expressions of the beggar in front of him, and intentionally tried to get close to him, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Senior, do you know your late father?"

"Ah——you—" the beggar stared at Li Wenxuan with wide eyes, hesitated to speak, shook his head, and then lowered his head.

Li Wenxuan still wanted to ask again, but the beggar waved his hand to signal Li Wenxuan not to speak. Naturally, Li Wenxuan didn't dare to disobey, so he stood aside and didn't say much, and then he heard the beggar say slowly: "Today Let me believe you for the time being, assuming that you are not the murderer who murdered Master Situ, but this is only temporary. It does not mean that you have nothing to do with this time from now on, but if I know in the future that your words today are even slightly false, Master Situ Death is inseparable from you... Kid, you also know my ability, no matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, I can dig you out, and no matter who you are related to, I will never tolerate you, Not only does it want you to die, it will make your death extremely painful, do you understand?"

Li Wenxuan nodded again and again, and replied: "With the martial arts attainments of seniors, juniors are not as good as eleven. If you want to take my life, seniors, I can only sit and wait for death. It's just that Wenxuan didn't do those bad things at all. Seniors have excellent martial arts. Being chivalrous and courageous is certainly not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Wenxuan has nothing to be afraid of. As for the future, if seniors say that Wenxuan did something wrong, as long as you can produce evidence, Wenxuan is irrefutable. That is, and Wenxuan can promise to senior today that if this junior commits any other evil deeds in the future, he is willing to let senior punish him, "

Li Wenxuan patted his chest and talked, and did not forget that the seniors and seniors praised how clever the beggar was. As for how not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, the heroic and courageous cloud is to find a way out for himself, and also No wonder, this person's kung fu is so high, Li Wenxuan is afraid, but also wants to get to know him, and it is reasonable to have a relationship.

"Well, good!" The beggar nodded, his face seemed to want to laugh, but he suppressed it. It seems that Li Wenxuan's words are still very useful, and the beggar continued: "I can let you go today for the time being. But you still have two things left..."

"Leave...what?" Li Wenxuan asked tremblingly.

There are rules in Jianghu, but when the enemy is captured but not killed, leaving the other alive, the person who was let go must leave something as a "souvenir".As for these things, they are not yellow and white things, but they are all carried on him, or his hands or feet, or his nose and ears. Anyway, at least he has to get a piece of meat on his body.

Li Wenxuan was really scared in his heart, and secretly shouted: "Why is this man so crazy? The matter has already been discussed, why should he make things difficult for me? If he really wants to chop off my hands and feet, what should I do!" Li Wenxuan Thinking about it, his face was already livid, he looked around, and wanted to run away, but he knew that his lightness skill was far behind the opponent's, and this run would definitely be overtaken, so he didn't dare to move around, so he had to use his spare time to escape. Guang glanced at the beggar to see if he had taken a fancy to him.

The beggar glanced at Li Wenxuan's face, seemed a little disdainful, and said coldly: "You are still a swordsman, you have learned the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Art, and you are holding a famous sword in the world, but you are so timid. , Are you ashamed!" Hearing the reprimand, Li Wenxuan naturally didn't dare to say more, and stood up obediently, but he was still muttering in his heart.

The beggar walked up to Li Wenxuan and stared at Li Wenxuan, but Li Wenxuan didn't dare to look up, only to hear the beggar say slowly: "Don't be afraid, the two things I want are not your hands, feet, ears and nose, but both It's something outside of you."

Li Wenxuan felt at ease, and asked boldly: "Then senior... what do you want, but you want me to keep the silver taels, my silver taels are all in the inn, can I go back to the inn to fetch them for senior?"

"This!" The beggar didn't care what Li Wenxuan said, but just shook the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Manual in front of Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan was shocked. This Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Manual was originally the treasure of Pinjian Villa, and it was passed down to him by his father. How could he give it to others so easily? Pointing to Li Wenxuan's waist, he said: "As for the other thing I want...that is the Qingshuang Sword on your waist!"

"Ah—" Li Wenxuan was startled, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, holding the sword hilt tightly with one hand, for fear that the beggar would suddenly come and snatch it.Li Wenxuan said angrily: "Senior, I respect you as a master, why are you so... so bullying the weak by the strong, trying to take away my sword manual and treasure sword!"

"An expert? Haha, I'm just a madman. What kind of an expert? I won't talk nonsense with you. Do you give it or not?" The beggar said, his steps seemed to become lighter again, and his body suddenly The room seems to be taller, and it seems that he is ready to grab the sword at any time.

As far as Li Wenxuan was concerned, he was indeed afraid of death, but he was not blindly afraid of it. At this time, the beggar was so aggressive and wanted to grab Li Wenxuan's sword manual and sword. How could Li Wenxuan hold back and simply raised his voice? Said: "Let me call out the sword manual and Qingshuang sword, unless...unless you kill me!"

"Kill you? Haha...haha..." After the beggar finished speaking, he laughed out loud, but the laughter sounded weird. At first Li Wenxuan didn't think it was a problem, but after three or four times, Li Wenxuan only felt that the sound in his ears There was a rumbling sound, his head was swollen, and he was eager to vomit. Although Li Wenxuan was holding on to the Qingshuang sword, but after a long time, he might suffer internal injuries if he held on like this, so he couldn't help but let go of the sword. hands, covering his ears with both hands.

"call--"

A gust of wind came towards Li Wenxuan, but the wind was not blown by it, but driven by the figure of the beggar. The beggar once again performed his wonderful lightness kung fu and jumped in front of Li Wenxuan.But this time Li Wenxuan had already made preparations. Seeing a slight change in form, Li Wenxuan immediately withdrew his right hand, held the sword hilt firmly again, and took a big step backwards at the same time, avoiding it. and the beggar's.

This time the beggar didn't continue to chase Li Wenxuan, but just smiled slightly and looked at Li Wenxuan, wondering if he was laughing at Li Wenxuan's pointless resistance, or had other intentions.

Li Wenxuan felt uncomfortable when the beggar laughed at him, and he completely forgot that the Wanhua sword manual and Su Qingxue's melting snow sword were still in the beggar's hands, so he turned around and ran away, but Li Wenxuan didn't run towards the inn, but went to the forest. Running deep, Li Wenxuan knew that this person's lightness kung fu was too high. If he fled towards the inn, not only would he have absolutely no chance to escape, but he might also put Su Qingxue in danger. However, if he hid in the forest, he might still have some chances .

Li Wenxuan took big strides, snowflakes splashed behind him, Li Wenxuan didn't care to turn his head, he was afraid that when he turned around, he would see the beggar pointing his sword at his back, he simply gritted his teeth and tried to move forward, but Li Wenxuan ran away a few steps Seeing the snowflakes under his feet, although he didn't stop, he was worried in his heart. He ran away like this, not to mention that the other party was a master of qinggong, even an ordinary person could follow his footsteps to catch up with him. Isn't it bad?
Thinking of this, the forest in front of Li Wenxuan was already quite dense. Li Wenxuan jumped up vigorously, using both hands and feet, and jumped onto a big tree beside him. When we got to another tree, just like this, Li Wenxuan was in the forest, running left and right without stopping, going back and forth dozens of times, probably running a few dozen feet away, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and even he couldn't even sleep. I don't know where I am in the forest now, and there is no movement behind me, so I stop.

At this time, the forest was quiet again, Li Wenxuan's body was leaning against a big tree, not daring to move, for fear of making a noise, or shaking off the snow on the tree, the beggar would be invited to come , Li Wenxuan looked around cautiously, and the beggar was nowhere to be seen.However, Li Wenxuan was not at all happy. He knew that the beggar was probably watching him somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to make a move, or he couldn't find him, so he hid somewhere and waited secretly, waiting for him to appear in front of him.

Li Wenxuan didn't move at all, Li Wenxuan knew very well in his heart that if he hid well, it would be best to let the beggar leave on his own when he couldn't bear it anymore. Opponents, the Qingshuang Sword and the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Manual are about to be given away.

Li Wenxuan adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and prepared for a protracted battle.

The winter night was very cold. Before Li Wenxuan fought with the beggar, his body was hot, but he didn't feel too cold, but now Li Wenxuan was motionless, and he had been slit open by someone's sword before, and now he was curled up on a tree Even without moving, he felt that it was very cold.About half an hour later, Li Wenxuan hugged the big tree, his hands were almost frozen to the tree, and his teeth were trembling and rattling from the cold, but Li Wenxuan still didn't dare to move, thinking that the beggar was also here Surrounded by the ice and snow, waiting for him on the sidelines, Li Wenxuan scolded that person eight hundred times in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Wenxuan was already dizzy, and he didn't even have the energy to curse people. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps in the forest again, and Li Wenxuan thought to himself: "You old man, you don't have much firepower. I know, you must not be able to survive in this icy and snowy place!" Li Wenxuan thought this way in his heart, but he still didn't dare to make the slightest movement, and said in his heart: "That person must not be able to endure it anymore, so he won't dodge any more. Now, if I want to come out to find me, I have to wait for a while, if he doesn't see me, he will think that I have already slipped away, so he has to leave too."

Li Wenxuan was thinking of his own wishful thinking, but he heard the sound of "creak—creak—" footsteps getting closer.Just now when Li Wenxuan was fighting with the beggar, Li Wenxuan stepped into the snow with every step and every step made a sound. When the beggar was fighting, he relied on lightness skills and made no sound at all. At this time, Li Wenxuan only thought that he was frozen. He couldn't use his internal strength, so he made a sound, and didn't care about it.But after a while, there seemed to be a light shining towards him from a distance, and now Li Wenxuan was really strange.

"It's so dark at night, where is the light coming from? I have never seen that beggar with a lantern or anything like that before." Li Wenxuan was curious, and wanted to see what happened, so he moved his body slightly, and looked sideways at the light. go.

On the originally silvery snow, a light yellow lantern illuminated the surrounding area with golden light. The woman holding the lantern was a woman in a white dress and fur with a white cloak attached to her body. Fengxue is walking forward step by step, but these snowflakes seem to be making trouble intentionally, either to get into the pink neck of other girls, or to scratch back and forth on that delicate smiling face, until A little beauty called Duanduan, even her nose was red and swollen from the cold, but this woman had a pretty face, but at this time her face was full of sadness, completely ignoring the cold wind and snow, as if she was looking for something , step by step into the woods.

Li Wenxuan couldn't help breathing heavily, and completely forgot about the coldness at the moment, and almost called out the name of the woman in white - Su Qingxue.
