The words are divided into two parts.
Let’s put aside the battle situation on Xiao Zhun’s side for now, and let’s go back to talk about Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai’s side.
The current situation of Shuangxie can be described by a phrase commonly used in neighboring Japan, that is, it is called "a great crisis of extreme body and death".
Although the hundreds of bombed swordsmen should not be able to catch up with Sun and Huang in a short period of time, the same thing...the latter cannot completely get rid of their pursuers. .
So, while the two sides were about tens of meters apart... you chased me.
One side is unwilling to stop.
The other side did not dare to stop.
For Shuang Xie, their only way to survive is to find a way to get rid of the pursuers before they run out of energy or meet a dead end, otherwise they may not even be able to leave the whole body behind.
But this "method" to escape is not so easy to imagine.
After all, they were not familiar with the terrain of Wujian Villa, and they were just running around blindly in the mountains and forests.
The two of them ran like this for about a cup of tea. Suddenly, Sun Yixie glanced at a man-made cave forty meters ahead. There was a person standing at the entrance of the cave.
Looking from a distance, I saw that the man was dressed in a smart attire with a long sword hanging from his waist. Although he was standing in front of the cave, he was facing outside the cave and not moving around, as if he was standing guard. .
Originally, Sun Yixie only thought that this was an ordinary Wujian Villa guy, but as he got closer and closer to the other person, Brother Sun found that this person looked familiar...
"Sex...look to the right, is that who it is?" Sun Yixie immediately said to Huang Donglai.
Huang Donglai was looking straight ahead with all his concentration. Although he caught a glimpse of the cave from the rest of the light, he didn't take a closer look. At this moment, when Sun Yixie reminded him, he turned around and took a look.
But I saw the person at the entrance of the cave. He was in his twenties, with a fair complexion and clear facial features. He had a pair of sharp eyebrows with an inverted splay, and a pair of enlarged eyes below. His head was straight, his mouth was square, and there was a slight smear around his mouth. A bit of stubble.
At this glance, Huang Donglai also felt that the other person looked familiar: "Eh? Isn't he that one?"
Who is this?
I think many guests still remember that last year, in the autumn of the eighteenth year of Yongtai, after the Tianqi Gang incident was resolved in Luoyang City, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were there. On the way out of the city, he met a young hero named Qin Feng.
At that time, Qin Feng came here looking for trouble, but after Shuang Xie's deception, this "former leader of the Young Heroes Association" who was too shallow in the city suddenly regarded these two as A close friend.
Today, Sun and Huang never expected that they would meet Qin Feng again here and now...
So why does this Young Master Qin appear here?
It’s very simple, because as early as the end of last year, Qin Feng joined Wujian Villa and became a guest here.
As we mentioned in the previous article, Qin Feng was the twelfth generation disciple of Tianjian Sect. However, after he became the leader of the Young Heroes Association, his descendants were a little confused and offended many of his fellow disciples. In addition, His master happened to die that year, so he was expelled from the school soon after by his master uncle who found an excuse.
After that, Qin Feng began to travel alone in the world under the name "Guo Hao Ke", but after two or three years, he failed to make any name, and his martial arts also made little progress.
Until last autumn, after meeting Sun and Huang and being "enlightened", Qin Feng learned from the experience and felt that he should indeed change. So, more than a month later, he When I arrived at Wujian Villa, I wanted to "leave my sword behind and enter the village" and seek advice from the sword master.
The Tianjian Sect is also considered to be the first echelon among the many sword sects of the righteous way. As the most outstanding disciple of the twelfth generation, Qin Feng’s swordsmanship is not bad. Xiao Zhun had no reason not to accept the title of "Leader of the Young Heroes Association".
In this way, about a year ago, Qin Feng dedicated what he had learned in Tianjian Sect since childhood and became a "thousand-word generation" disciple of Wujian Villa.
However, after entering the village, Qin Feng soon discovered that he was not very valued by Xiao Zhun.
According to the rules of Wujian Villa, Xiao Zhun will definitely teach you his swordsmanship as long as he accepts you. You can rest assured about this; but there is another unspoken rule - you The more advanced the "abandonment" sword technique is and the more interested Xiao Zhun is, the more times he will come to you to discuss it. Correspondingly, the more opportunities he will have to give you guidance, and the faster you will improve.
As for Qin Feng... although his swordsmanship is authentic from the Tianjian Sect, his own realm is still shallow. After Xiao Zhun got his mental skills, he soon found them boring. I won't pay any more attention to Qin Feng.
Today, Qin Feng was guarding the "Yong'an Cave" in the villa as usual, without knowing anything about what happened on the school grounds.
At this moment, when Shuangxie recognized Qin Feng, Qin Feng undoubtedly also recognized Shuangxie.
Qin Feng was originally standing guard there. When he saw two people running past the door, he would naturally pay attention and be alert; he also did not expect that the person coming would be someone he knew. People, and...the two were followed by a group of murderous angry men.
"You two! Come into the cave quickly!"
Qin Feng didn't know why he shouted this without hesitation.
In the past year, he thought that he had become accustomed to being a minion of Wujian Villa, accustomed to the indifference of the Villa, and accustomed to those contemptuous looks and cold words.
Ordinarily, as a guest of the villa, his duty at the moment should be to stop these two outsiders running around.
Even if he didn't block it, there was no need to risk his life against hundreds of people to save these two people in this kind of battle, not to mention why he, Sun and Huang, were being hunted down. Don't even know.
Taking a step back, he actually understands......My relationship with them is not that good. Even if we can get along with them, it's just a one-time encounter.
However, even in this situation, Qin Feng still shouted this out of instinct.
Because deep down, he is still the young knight with a lofty ambition but low emotional intelligence.
Because he still remembers that when he parted with Sun, Huang, and Lei that day, he said: "If you have anything to do in the future, just come to me. Qin is the one No matter what you do, you will do whatever it takes!"
Now that he has said it, he wants to do it.
Perhaps his martial arts skills can only serve as a minion here, but his personality can still be a hero.
When Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai heard his shout, they turned around and rushed to Qin Feng without hesitation.
In this fleeting moment, Shuangxie just saw the expression on Qin Feng's face and heard the tone of his shout, and he chose to trust Qin Feng.
You can say that this is because the content itself only plays a role in language less than 30%, and the remaining 70% is based on expression and tone. You can also think that this is just "intuition".
But at this moment, this kind of judgment is often accurate.
"Quick! This way! I'll close the stone gate!" Qin Feng saw that Shuang Xie was coming, and immediately took a few steps back; while he turned sideways to let the two of them into the hole, he already got out of his arms. He took out a key.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's movements were also neat. When approaching the entrance of the cave, they both rushed forward, jumped sideways, and slipped into the cave while sliding and shoveling all the way.
Almost at the same second when Sun and Huang passed by, Qin Feng inserted the key into the mechanism on the wall and turned it.
Guluulu——
Then, with a sound of friction between the mechanism and the rocks, the stone door at the entrance of the cave rolled down.
When the stone door was sealed to the bottom, those who were pursuing from outside also came to the entrance of the cave.
Although some people were still furious and beating at the stone door, this stone door was obviously not ordinary, and its hardness was enough to withstand those mobs.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" After entering the cave, Huang Donglai was lying on the ground because he breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, he could only gasp for breath and could not even speak.
"Brother Qin... Thank you so much for saving me." Sun Yixie's condition was a little better. Although he also sat on the ground, he still had the strength to say thank you to Qin Feng.
"Hey~ It's easy." Qin Feng felt inexplicably in a good mood at this time. Although he also understood that he might have caused some kind of fatal disaster, the haze that had been weighing on his heart for the past year was at this moment. But it was all swept away, making him feel as if he was reborn, "Brother Sun, Brother Huang, long time no see, how are you?"
"Ha! Hahaha..." At this moment As soon as Huang Donglai took a breath, he smiled bitterly and said, "Are you okay? He was almost hacked to death."
At this time, Sun Yixie realized belatedly that Qin Feng might also be from Wujian Villa, so he immediately tried to test: "Brother Qin, our matter is a long story, but you... Why are you here?"
Qin Feng's face darkened when he talked about this. It was obvious that he regretted joining Wujian Villa.
"I..." Just when Qin Feng was about to answer.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door quickly! Get those two beasts out!"
"Qin Feng! Are you crazy? How dare you Are you seeking death for harboring outsiders?"
"Hurry up and open the door, grandpas, you may be able to spare your life!"
Beyond the Shimen! , there were waves of yelling and cursing, some from those Jianghu guests, and others from other disciples of Wujian Villa.
This group of people was obviously unwilling to give up, and they continued to knock on the stone door while making threats.
"Come on, can this door hold up?" Hearing the menacing yelling and beating outside, Huang Donglai immediately asked Qin Feng with a guilty conscience.
"Don't worry..." Qin Feng said, pulling out the key from the mechanism on the wall, and said with a relaxed expression, "There are only four places in the entire Wujian Villa that use this kind of key." It might be easier to dig through the mountain than to break the stone door."
"Oh, that's good." Huang Donglai felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"But to be on the safe side, I think it's not advisable to stay here for a long time..." Sun Yixie followed closely, "Brother Qin... there should be a back door to get out of here, right?"
< p>"Uh...no." Qin Feng said truthfully."What?" Sun Yixie panicked now, but he couldn't blame Qin Feng for leading the two of them into a dead end, because in the situation just now, if they chose not to enter He opened the hole and continued to run away, fearing that he might not be able to hold on for long.
"Then...how big is the inside of this cave? Where can it lead to?" After a slight pause for half a second, Sun Yixie softened his tone and asked again.
Qin Feng replied: "Going a little further in, there is a stone gate. The tomb behind the stone gate contains the remains of the ancestors of the villa. Although I have not been in, I have followed the owner of the villa. After walking through the door... Anyway, when I looked in from the outside, the tomb was not too big, and it didn't look like there were any other exits."
" Oh?" Sun Yi listened. , murmured, "So, this is Xiao Zhun's ancestral tomb?"
"Alas..." Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh after hearing Brother Sun's words, "Isn't it... ..." He paused, shook his head and said, "To say that I regret it... I, Qin Feng, have been here at Wujian Villa for less than a year, and I have spent about ten months here visiting the grave of the man named Xiao... If I had known this, I might as well have continued hanging out in the world."
"Oh? Brother Qin has been here for a year?" Sun Yixie said, then got up and grabbed Qin Feng.With his arm, he dragged him deeper into the cave, "Come on, come on, tell me in detail..."
Seeing this, Huang Donglai quickly stood up and joined Brother Sun. He held Qin Feng and walked inside.
Obviously, the two of them saw a ready-made "internal response" and wanted to use words.
It’s a pity that Qin Feng can’t say anything useful; look at the place he was assigned to guard, and the attitude of the other disciples outside the stone gate just now shouting at him... It is not difficult to see that Qin Feng Feng belongs to the lowest level of the villa, and even the "non-staff thugs" have a higher status than him; Xiao Zhun has no intention of letting Qin Feng participate in his "big plan", so he has no intention of letting Xiao Zhun's plan Also clueless.
What Qin Feng could tell Shuangxi was nothing more than some basic information about the villa, and by the way, he poured out his own bitterness.
Sun and Huang also heard that what this kid said was true, so they didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, they briefly told Qin Feng about Xiao Zhun’s sacrifice of the blood-refining sword. Again.
Qin Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and thought to himself: Is this person named Xiao going crazy? If he succeeds today, wouldn't I, Qin, stand guard at the grave in a daze and become a minion of the devil who helps the evildoers do evil?
But actually...he thinks too much.
There are about a dozen of the "lowest diners" like Qin Feng in Wujian Villa. They are all useless people who Xiao Zhun thinks are tasteless and a pity to abandon. They even participate in his own They are not worthy of conspiracy; Xiao Zhun lets them stay in the village just to "not break the rules" - after all, Wujian Villa pays attention to the so-called exchange principle of "giving up the sword" and "asking for the sword". Others have to do it themselves. It's okay to leave, but it would be a bit unreasonable for your village owner to drive people away.
In short, Qin Feng is not as good as a "minion" in Xiao Zhun's mind. He is basically the same as the "servants" in the villa who do not know martial arts and serve others. "The same existence.
But today, just such a person, a guy who has been assigned by Xiao Zhun to stand guard in a place that everyone thinks is unlucky all year round, has become a key figure.
Qin Feng’s action of saving Shuangxie regardless of his position and life and death at this critical moment was the beginning of the entire situation turning in an extremely unfavorable direction for Xiao Zhun...
