Hejiabao with the Sword Chapter 156 - The Boy in Commoner
The next day, the morning sun rose, and the winter sunshine dispersed the clouds and mists in the Hejiabao Mountain Stream. As the clouds and mists dispersed, the roars of various beasts could be faintly heard from the mountains behind Hejiabao, but as a sound gradually emerged,
There was a long and hidden roar, and the mountain suddenly became silent.
It seemed that the small disturbance last night did not affect the other gardens outside Muxia Garden. Everything had returned to calm. As the morning sun rose, Hejiabao also became busy.
Because today is the opening day of Hejiabao's annual competition. People living in Meiyue Garden are eager to take part in the competition. Some people are wiping their weapons, and some are still practicing their skills and adjusting their breath, all preparing to climb into the competition.
Making final preparations.
As long as you can stand to the end, it means that you no longer have to endure the wind and rain in the world. For these Jianghu people who have no sect to rely on, they have a roof to cover their heads and have the opportunity to be on the top list of China.
This is their best destination.
In Meiyue Garden, the three brothers He Bufan also got up early. Looking at these people who were eager to try, He Bufan remembered that when his three brothers participated in the competition, they also had the same idea of becoming famous in one battle, but until they actually climbed onto the mountain.
When I got into the ring, I realized that there are mountains outside this mountain, and there are people outside people.
I can't help but worry about that young man. Although he has extraordinary martial arts skills, when it comes to the ring, sometimes martial arts is not the decisive factor.
"Brother, what are you thinking about this early in the morning? The three of us brothers will go to the arena soon. Just now, the head of the family has sent a message, asking us, the guards in gold, silver and bronze clothes, to go to the arena. This year, like the Water Sword Sect and Ni
With the people from Dao Sect here, it will be difficult for these Jianghu people to enter the Ling Jue Ranking." Hu Buwei looked at his elder brother's thoughtful look and said.
Hearing what the third brother said, Ren BuNan had a smile in his thief eyes, he came up to him and said with a smile: "What the hell, Ru Shui Jian Sect and Ni Dao Sect, we three brothers live our own lives. Anyway, we are hungry."
We have food to eat, clothes to wear when it gets cold, and money to spend every month. I just want to watch the fun for a while."
The two brothers were talking to each other, but He Bufan didn't think so. Although they had already put on the gold, silver and bronze clothes of the He family, it was ridiculous that Yama, who was narrow-minded and determined to retaliate, did not think so.
The three brothers will not be let go so easily. If Xiaoyan loses today and loses the position of worship, it will be fine. If he wins and secures the position of worship, then the life of his three brothers will not be so easy in the future.
Already.
The three of them are not people with extraordinary martial arts. Even if they are wearing gold clothes, the He family will naturally not care about the three nursing homes compared to offering sacrifices. Thinking of this, He Bufan felt upset for no reason and spoke to stop the quarrel between the two brothers.
: "Okay, second brother, third brother, let's find an opportunity later to meet Mu Shaoxia from yesterday."
"Brother, why are you still going to see him? We led the way and introduced him yesterday. Aren't you enthusiastic enough? Don't forget, this kid offended the young master of the Rushui Sword Sect yesterday." Hu Buwei reminded him.
Ren BuNan also agreed: "Yes, big brother, for a boy who has no sect, I offended the Rushui Sword Sect, but the gain outweighs the loss."
He Bufan doesn't know the status of Rushui Sword Sect in the martial arts world. It is second only to Lingyun Sword Sect among the Two Swords and Three Swordsmen, and it has been catching up in recent years. It is indeed not a wise move to offend Rushui Sword Sect.
Judging from the status of the three of them in the He family, if they don't find a backer, sooner or later they won't be able to stay. Just as they thought outside the gate of Hejiabao Mountain, it's better to take a gamble. With the young man's skills and his fearlessness,
Lan's attitude must have someone to rely on.
Thinking of this, He Bufan opened his mouth to explain to the two brothers, which was able to calm the complaints of the two brothers. Then, the three of them left Meiyue Garden while no one was paying attention, and went to Muchia Garden to lead to the He family.
On the only way to the arena, Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue are waiting.
But on Gu Xiao's side, the little disturbance last night did not make Gu Xiao feel worried. On the contrary, it made him sleep soundly despite being tired. Although the disappearance of Lin'er and others was still on his mind,
Gu Xiao also knew that this matter could not be urgent, so he had to think of a solution step by step.
Gu Xiao, who also got up early, spent a whole week practicing Qingyi Jue. In addition, he had slept last night, which allowed him to adjust to the continuous fatigue since Lingzhou. He exhaled a breath of turbid air. Gu Xiao just waited for the He family at noon today.
The ring has begun.
Opening the door, he came to Jiang Ningxue's door next door, knocked on the door, and found that Jiang Ningxue seemed to be no longer in the room, and Gu Xiao had to wander around Mucha Garden alone.
At this time, he saw a young man of similar age slowly walking into Muxia Garden. In this severe cold weather, this young man only wore a thin linen shirt, a pair of tattered cloth shoes with holes, and even his lower trousers.
They were all in tatters, and his ankles were all red from the cold weather. To say that the whole body was the most protective against the cold, it was the fur scarf around his neck and the gloves that protected his hands, even though the weather was so cold.
, and couldn't make the boy's straight body bend slightly.
The young man's steps were steady, and his shabby appearance in linen clothes was out of place compared to the splendid Mucha Garden with its carved beams and painted buildings. However, the young man did not show any timidity because of this. On the contrary, his eagerness to try was revealed in his sharp wolf-like eyes.
color.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but be curious. This young man was dressed in rags, but he was so protective of his neck and hands. He couldn't help but curiously look at the object in his hand. It was a black, three-foot-long fire stick, which was similar to the young man.
The combination of body and clothing is not out of the ordinary, but the young man is holding the fire stick as if he is holding a long sword.
The young man just walked in Muxia Garden step by step, his sharp eyes staring straight ahead, firm and calm. With every step he took, the sword intent in his body became stronger. It was not until he felt the attention from Gu Xiao that he
Looking sideways, two young men of similar age met each other.
The young man in linen clothes seemed to feel the same sword intent as his own from the young man in green clothes not far away. Fighting intent appeared in his eyes, and the hand holding the fire stick in his left hand clenched slightly.
When Gu Xiao saw the boy in linen clothes slightly raising the fire stick in his left hand, a wary look flashed in his eyes. Although he did not know the boy in linen clothes, the fighting spirit in his eyes made Gu Xiao, who was also a young man,
For a moment, he felt a little competitive. Just when Gu Xiao and the young man in linen clothes were looking at each other from afar, Jin Buyi's majestic voice came.
"That's good. When you arrive, everyone is here. Come on, let me introduce you."
Jin Buyi had already seen the two young men meeting in the Muxia Garden in the dark, but he did not show up immediately until he saw that the two seemed to be about to start a fight, and then he spoke to stop them.
As if the night visit to Qingqiu Garden did not happen last night, Jin Buyi walked to the two young men familiarly and introduced them to them: "The arena in the He Family Courtyard has a total of four arenas, corresponding to the ones distributed.
Four jade medals. If you get the jade medal, you will be the guardian of these four rings, and you will be challenged by all the Jianghu people who signed up this year."
After saying that, he looked at the two young men on the sidelines and said: "Including Young Master Mu, Young Master Shui, Young Master Yuwen, plus this one..." Thinking of the scene when this boy in linen clothes signed up, he called himself
He didn't have a last name, so I didn't know how to introduce him.
On the contrary, the young man in linen clothes was not angry because Jin Buyi did not introduce himself. Instead, he looked as usual and walked slowly in front of Gu Xiao. He slowly took out his hand from the glove and stretched out his hand proactively: "My name is Xiao."
Jay.”
Gu Xiao lowered his head and looked at the hand stretched out to him by the boy in linen clothes. It was fair and slender, and even the nails were neatly manicured. It didn't match his outfit. However, the boy showed kindness, and Gu Xiao also hung up on it.
With a smile, he reached out and held Xiaojie's hand and said, "I'm here, Muyi."
After a simple greeting, the two young men became acquainted.
"Okay, now that you two have gotten acquainted, Jin will take his leave. Please help yourself, but remember, please go to the ring on time at noon. A nursing home will come to help you.
Lead the way." Jin Buyi bowed his hands, cupped his fists and saluted the two teenagers, and then walked towards Mucha Garden.
"Xiaojie, what a strange name, what's your surname?" Now that they knew each other, Gu Xiao started chatting with the boy in linen clothes.
Xiaojie's sharp eyes suddenly dimmed and he said, "I don't have a last name."
Although Xiaojie didn't say much, Gu Xiao seemed to see the reason from his sad eyes.
Gu Xiao did not continue to ask, but the topic turned to the fire stick in Xiaojie's hand. He stared at it carefully and said, "Your sword is very special."
Xiaojie's dim eyes suddenly lit up again, and there seemed to be some joy in his sharp gaze: "You can tell it's a sword."
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "Although it doesn't look like an ordinary sword, I can tell how sharp it is from you and the aura it exudes."
When Xiaojie heard this, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a look of joy. He raised the 'fire stick' in his hand and said, "You are the first person who did not laugh at it."
Gu Xiao smiled and said: "A swordsman's sword should not be laughed at."
Xiaojie also smiled. Gu Xiao did not expect that the young man who exuded such intimidating aura just now smiled like an innocent child. In his ears, he only heard Xiaojie say: "I want to kill everyone in the world with my sword."
It’s unfair.”
Gu Xiao seemed to be moved by Xiaojie's bold words and asked: "Is that why you came to Hejiapu?"
Xiaojie didn't hide it either: "Too many people in this world look down on others, so you have to be famous. With a name, you can stop a killing even without taking action. If you are nameless, your words will be heard in other people's ears.
It’s just a wild dog passing by and farted. I heard others talk about the Hejiapu arena. As long as I win, I will have the opportunity to become famous. Once I become famous, others will listen to me."
Gu Xiao smiled. Although Xiaojie's words were crude, every word was true. He had been traveling in the world for many years. It was the first time for Gu Xiao to see such a pure person. He did not hide himself at all, so he smiled and said: "
I hope you can fulfill your wish."
"Wait until then, I'll treat you to a drink." Xiaojie looked at the peers in front of him and said.
"Do we need to choose a time to drink? Let's go now." Although Gu Xiao doesn't like drinking, he likes to make such pure friends, so he said with a smile.
Xiaojie's reply was honest: "I have no money."
Gu Xiao couldn't help but smile: "The He family gave the jade plaque, but didn't they give back the money?"
Xiaojie said: "Master once told me that if I accept benefits from others, I have to pay them back with other things. I won't spend the money I didn't earn."
After saying that, he took out the brocade silk bag given by the He family from his arms, opened the bag, and found that the gold and silver inside had not been touched at all.
Gu Xiao remembered what he had just said, that he had no money, and he came to Hejiapu so early in the morning. It was so cold and freezing, it was hard to imagine how Xiaojie spent that night.
Seemingly seeing Gu Xiao's doubts, Xiaojie's bright smile appeared on his face again: "I have hands and feet, so I can naturally find food. If there is snow outside, I will naturally have something to drink."
With a casual smile, Gu Xiao took Xiaojie's arm and said, "Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Before you go into the ring, you always have to fill your stomach."
