The mountain wind was strong, but there was still no movement in the house. The two sides had been confronting each other in the yard for a long time, and the atmosphere was already tense. The fight between the man in gray and Liu Ruyan just now has already initially tested the depth of each other's martial arts. The duel between the masters was immediately judged, but it was obvious that neither side used their trump card, and each other had Deeper vigilance, no one is willing to take action easily.
Liu Ruyan stared at the man in gray quietly, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the woman in purple on the other side. The woman in purple was also staring at Liu Ruyan. As for Luo Xiangxue and her daughter under the eaves, they didn't seem to pay attention at all. , a master who has been around for a long time, can tell who is strong and who is weak at a glance. Luo Xiangxue also clenched her sword tightly, ready to reinforce Liu Ruyan.
The mountain wind blew the fallen leaves all over the ground, and also blew the clothes and hair in the air. Both parties looked very calm. Suddenly, the sword flashed, and the scimitar spun with the sound of wind. The half-moon-shaped blade was like a hot wheel in the hands of the man in gray.
I saw a blur in front of my eyes. The scimitar was already covering Liu Ruyan's neck and chest like lightning. Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and his feet suddenly slipped. His whole body suddenly became shorter, his head turned to one side, and he looked at the yellow leaves on the ground. He rolled out, and the white rainbow-like blade was only three inches away from his neck, barely avoiding the thunderous strike. At the same time, he raised the sword in his hand, and the blade was like a snake, reaching straight for the empty door in the lower abdomen of the man in gray. The situation changed continuously. The man in gray clothes saw the cold light lighting up under his body. He suddenly felt cold in his lower abdomen, and his heart was horrified. He looked around, and the scimitar in his hand failed to move. He suddenly let go, and the scimitar spun and flew through the air. , "swish, swish, swish", circled several times, and flew back towards the man in gray. Liu Ruyan's sword edge passed by the waist of the man in gray. At that critical moment, he saw that something was not going well, so he had to withdraw his moves and use defense as offense. , he took advantage of the situation and rolled backwards, a large piece of clothes fell from the air, with a trace of blood on it. Even though he hurriedly dodged to protect himself, the tip of the sword still scratched one of his clothes, and he felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen. , a long bloody mouth suddenly appeared in the torn skirt of his clothes, and what was even more terrible was that the patchy flesh was exposed on his lower abdomen, which really made him feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Just as he turned over and fell behind, the rotating scimitar flew back into his hand, and a swift fight came to an abrupt end. In just three moves, the winner was decided, and the man in gray was horrified. I thought that the rotating flying knife that I was famous for had been used at 80% of the power. The three elements of "quickness, accuracy, and ruthlessness" were almost perfect, but it did not hurt the opponent at all, and the opponent's seemingly ordinary move "Tengu Mochizuki" actually hurt himself easily. Seeing his white lower abdomen exposed in full view of the public, he was angry and ashamed. Even though his skills were not as good as others, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
The man in gray lost two moves in a row and was gnashing his teeth with hatred. His face turned green and red, and he thought to himself: Where does this kid come from? His skills are really good, it seems that I underestimated him. I met this powerful enemy today. The old immortal was huddled in the house again. I was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed. No, I had to try to lure him out first and then worry about it.
The woman in purple hurried over and bent down to check his injuries. She saw a two-inch long wound on his lower abdomen and navel still oozing blood. The wound was not deep, just a skin injury. She tore off a piece from his sleeve. She wrapped her clothes around his wounds, but when she saw the white skin, she couldn't help but blush on her face, and she felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look again.
Luo Xiangxue saw the man in gray making a fool of himself in public with a look of embarrassment on his face. She secretly gloated in her heart and cast an appreciative look at Liu Ruyan. She whispered in her mother's ear: "Mom, these two people are entangled. What should we do?" What should we do? What grudge does dad have against them?"
The middle-aged woman said calmly: "Thankfully, I have a friend like you to help me today. Your father will be fine." Her eyes fell on Liu Ruyan, who was calm and composed. When I saw him for the first time yesterday, I saw that my daughter was deeply devoted to him and insisted on going with him. She didn't know what the young man's character was. Today, when I saw him standing up bravely and fearlessly in the face of the enemy, I couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart. And she was secretly happy for her daughter. With such a responsible person by her side, she would have nothing to worry about.
She murmured: "Xue'er, how does this young man treat you? He seems to be a good young man." There was a warm smile in her eyes.
Luo Xiangxue looked at Liu Ruyan, her eyes were shining, and she said a little shyly: "Brother Liu is very good to me. He is brave, kind and upright. After we went down the mountain yesterday, Brother Liu persuaded me to come back to you and told me not to complain. You guys! He’s such a nice guy!”
The man in gray clothes was so angry that he gritted his teeth, pondered for a long time, and then said bitterly to everyone: "I can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple. I just praise him for today. One day, I will make him pay for his debt with blood. Please give him a message, just He said that the Ghost Hand Demon Sword will never let him go!" He glanced at the purple-clothed woman next to him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The woman in purple glared and said, "That old man must be hiding in the room, let's rush in and fight with him!" She glared at everyone, stared at Luo Xiangxue, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Not to be outdone, Luo Xiangxue gave her a ferocious look in return. Liu Ruyan looked at the man in gray calmly, holding the long sword behind her and not letting down her guard.
The man in gray waved his hand towards the woman in purple and said slowly: "When I meet a master today, I am not as good as him. Hum, one day, I will make sure he pays back everything! Let's go!" After that, he turned around. Wrapping the knife in a coarse cloth, he put it on his waist, turned around and walked away quickly. The woman in purple followed closely behind, and the two of them disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was relieved. Luo Xiangxue came to Liu Ruyan and asked with concern: "Brother Liu, how are you? Did he hurt you?" He glanced at Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan smiled lightly and said: "I'm fine. Go in and see your dad!" He hesitated in his eyes, which seemed to have deep meaning.
At this time, the middle-aged woman also came over and said with a smile: "Thank you, young hero, for your help. We met yesterday and Xue'er told me everything about you. I can see that you treat my Xue'er sincerely. As long as you respect and love each other, I don’t think Xue’er’s father will object to you being together.”
She turned to look at Luo Xiangxue: "Let's go inside and talk."
The three people walked into the house. The sun was shining on the wall of the main room, casting a light and shadow. The house was very clean. Apart from the main room, there were two wing rooms on the left and right. There is an Eight Immortals table and several wooden chairs placed in the center of the hall. Several calligraphy and paintings are hung on the north and south walls. The most eye-catching one is the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. The image is lifelike and high-spirited, with its huge mouth open as if it will pounce at any time.
Just as Liu Ruyan stood in the middle of the room and looked around, several rapid coughs came from the room on the left. He was startled and looked towards the side room, only to see a man standing by the window lattice behind the door curtain, carrying a bag on his back. Holding hands, looking out the window quietly. He had already guessed that this person must be Luo Xiangxue's father, Luo Lin.
He also heard the conversations of several people outside. The middle-aged woman asked Liu Ruyan to sit down. Luo Xiangxue went to the side kitchen to bring a few cups of tea and invited Liu Ruyan and her mother to have tea. Another cup was brought into the room.
Seeing Luo Lin standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back at the door, Luo Xiangxue opened the door curtain and called softly: "Dad!"
Luo Lin slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue is back! Is that young man here too?"
Luo Xiangxue nodded and said, "Well, Brother Liu is here to see you."
Outside, Liu Ruyan took a sip of tea and chatted with the middle-aged woman. The woman showed enthusiasm and invited tea frequently. Liu Ruyan was smiling, but she was uneasy in her heart. After experiencing the incident just now and seeing Mrs. Luo treating others with kindness and kindness, he didn't know how to deal with himself. I wanted to find out some information about Luo Lin from Mrs. Luo, but I was speechless again.
Liu Ruyan murmured in her heart that if he told him his purpose, it would inevitably cause a dispute. No matter what the outcome was, he would not be able to face Luo Xiangxue in the end. But how could he let go of his sworn hatred easily? He was so confused that he didn't know where to go for a moment!
Luo Xiangxue held the tea in front of Luo Lin and said with a smile: "Dad, those two people came to find you just now. Fortunately, Brother Liu was there and beat them away in a few seconds. Dad, Brother Liu is in the living room, let's go Meet him.”
Luo Lin was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said: "How long have you been with him? Do you know his life story?" His pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
Luo Xiangxue replied softly: "I have known Brother Liu for two months. He is a good man. I also know a little about his family background. He is an orphan. He lost his parents when he was young. His master raised him. big."
Luo Lin paced, nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Where is he from? Who is his master?"
Luo Xiangxue was quite surprised: What happened to dad? Want to get to the bottom of Brother Liu’s affairs? However, he doesn't know Brother Liu very well, which is reasonable. Maybe he is worried about me!
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt warm in her heart, which at least showed that her father still cared about her. Although she is not his biological child, it is a great kindness to be able to raise her. She felt relieved all of a sudden, and even secretly regretted having resented her parents. Now she scolded herself for being ungrateful, and felt ashamed on her face.
Luo Xiangxue said respectfully: "I only heard from Brother Liu that since he was a child, he has lived with his master and his junior sister in the Zhongnan Mountains. The master treats him as his own son. He not only teaches him martial arts, but also helps him find..." At this point, I suddenly realized that I had made a mistake and quickly kept silent.
Luo Lin asked: "What are you looking for? Zhongnan Mountain? You mean his master is in Zhongnan Mountain? What is his master's name?" His brows tightened, and he seemed to think of something while blinking.
Luo Xiangxue hesitated and said: "His master is Chu Yunfei Chu Daxia, who is known as Nanshan layman! We all call him Uncle Chu. What, dad, do you recognize Uncle Chu?"
Luo Lin blinked and said thoughtfully: "I have heard of the name Nanshan layman, but I have never seen a real person. Then they also live in Zhongnan Mountain. After all, they are not far apart. I think this guy is not bad. "
Luo Xiangxue was happy in her heart and said with a smile on her face: "Dad, I knew you would like Brother Liu. Mom also said that Brother Liu is good. Come on, let's go out to meet him."
Luo Lin looked serious and followed Luo Xiangxue out of the room. In the living room, Liu Ruyan saw the two of them coming out and stood up in a hurry, looking at Luo Lin quietly.
Although his face was as calm as water, his heart was surging like a tide. Luo Lin stared at him, smiled slightly and said, "Your surname is Liu?"
Liu Ruyan said: "That's right, the junior Liu Ruyan has met the senior." He looked at Luo Lin steadily and clenched the sword in his hand.
Luo Lin invited him to sit down and invited him to drink tea. He said quietly: "I heard from my little girl that you are friends?" He looked Liu Ruyan up and down, and his eyes fell on his sword again.
Liu Ruyan said: "Yes, I met Luo Xiangxue at the mountain inn. We are friends!"
Luo Xiangxue only thought that the conversation between the two of them was strange, but she couldn't tell where the strange thing was. The conversation between the two people seemed to be normal, but in fact it was filled with a stiff atmosphere. And they were only meeting for the second time.
