Chapter 526: An old father’s sigh
After listening to Zhuang Xiaojing's description, Xia Yiyun couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and sluggishly checked the wounds of several soul hunters.
Clean and neat, no arrow missed!
Xia Yiyun concluded that the person behind the scenes must be a master of archery, and judging from the shape of the arrow feathers, the opponent should be using a long bow.
The arrow feathers of the crossbow she uses are much shorter. Although the crossbow itself is extremely delicate, its accurate range is only fifty or sixty meters, and it cannot be as powerful as it is from a hundred meters away.
What really shocked Xia Yiyun was that she could still maintain such power and accuracy even after firing three arrows from her bow.
This is much stronger than a crossbow.
Crossbows and bows and arrows are quite similar to a certain extent. Although they cannot learn various bow shooting techniques, some shooting experience and the casting of special arrow feathers are common.
This was also the reason why Xia Yiyun cared so much. She was eager to find the master of bow and arrow and have an in-depth discussion with him.
Everyone was surprised when they learned that the person who saved her behind the scenes was not Xia Yiyun's friend.
"Who saved us? Who sent the killer?" Zhuang Xiaojing frowned and looked into the distance behind her, recalling the appearance of those two figures. She was certain that she had never seen them before.
After Chen Duxiao suppressed Lu Sitao's injuries, he stood up and speculated: "No matter who comes to the rescue, they must be friends rather than enemies. Whoever appears here is probably here for tomorrow's sword fighting competition. .”
Zhuang Xiaojing nodded and said in rare agreement: "That person acts anonymously. I'm afraid even if he shows up tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to know his identity."
Xia Yiyun couldn't help but feel disappointed while listening to the conversation between the two.
Over the years, she has been groping for the bow and crossbow, and she has already reached a bottleneck. If she hadn't relied on her half-step soul realm cultivation to forcibly attach spiritual energy to ordinary arrow feathers, the power of her crossbow would probably not even reach the Condensation Plate Soul Realm. Even the teacher cannot be threatened.
Xia Yiyun also knew in her heart that bows and crossbows were still somewhat useful against soul masters below the Five Elements Realm. However, with the improvement of her cultivation level, once she broke through to the Earth Soul Realm, with the skills of bows and crossbows she had learned over the years, she might no longer be able to deal with them. It is difficult to use even half of it.
Meeting another archery master today, Xia Yiyun's first instinct told her that this would be an opportunity for her.
Maybe, you can find a way to improve your crossbow skills from that person.
…
Qingling Sword Sect was established on Qingyan Mountain. Although the scenery is pleasant, the terrain is steep. The road up the mountain has been deliberately destroyed, leaving only one side of the cliff. An ordinary giant sword was sunk into the cliff to act as a ladder. The climber needs to walk on the sword. Since there are only thirteen steps and the distance between them is more than tens of meters high, it is difficult for those who lack strength to leap up the mountain.
Lu Feng took Jun Ziyi to the Qingling Sword Sect first, and gained a better understanding of this difficult mountain road. Soul masters below the Five Elements realm will definitely not be able to climb to the top unless they possess extremely high body skills.
Next to the cliff, there is a simple wooden shed for rest, which is guarded by several disciples of the Qingling Sword Sect. Their main responsibility is to register people who go up the mountain.
Lu Feng showed the invitation letter given by Gu Lingling.
Several disciples checked the invitation, then looked at Lu Feng and Jun Ziyi. Looking at their young appearance, they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
How could the Qingling Sword Sect’s invitation not be from someone of high moral standing? They were all well-known experts. How could they ever invite such a young boy?
Just as he was about to inquire further to verify the truth, a figure in the distance suddenly ran over.
"Brother Lu~"
Before the person is close, the sound comes first.
Gu Linling was still wearing a red corset, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was holding a phoenix sword in her hand. She looked very free and happy, but there was a hint of anxiety and worry between her eyebrows.
"This is the distinguished guest I invited," Gu Lingling dismissed the registered disciples and then looked at Lu Feng and the other two, "Brother Lu, please wait here for me. We will go back to the mountain when I and my senior brothers come back to rescue senior sister. Reminiscing about old times.”
"Your senior sister is fine now," Lu Feng told him about Chen Duxiu's rescue of Zhuang Xiaojing and others.
"That's great. Fortunately, senior brother arrived in time." The worry on Gu Lingling's face disappeared. Then she looked at Yan Xinhui and others who were coming from behind and said, "Senior brother Yan, senior sister and the others will be left to you." Got it, I'll take Brother Lu and the others back to the door first."
Yan Xinhui nodded and gave Lu Feng a friendly smile, "Brother Lu, I have encountered many bottlenecks in the way of swordsmanship during this period. When I come back, I will ask you for advice."
Lu Feng smiled back. When he was in Black Wind Town, while giving guidance to Gu Lingling, he also helped Yan Xinhui improve.
Several disciples in charge of registration in the distance heard the conversation between several people, and their faces turned pale with surprise. At first, they all doubted the authenticity of the invitation, but they didn't expect that the visitor was so capable?
I can't help but speculate.
Both Gu Lingling and Yan Xinhui are the leaders of the younger generation of the Qingling Sword Sect...
Such a person actually uses the word "ask for advice" in front of the visitor?
This is too shocking!
Is that person more powerful than Senior Brother?
This is absolutely impossible!
…
After Yan Xinhui led the team down the cliff, Gu Lingling happily asked Lu Feng, "Are you here because of my invitation?"
Lu Feng pulled Jun Ziyi to his side and explained frankly: "I came here... because I wanted to hone Xiao Yi's sword skills."
In Black Wind Town, Gu Lingling had been in contact with Jun Ziyi for a while. Knowing that the latter was Lu Feng's student, they got close to each other eagerly, "Welcome, there are no members of our Qingling Sword Sect, there are swordsmen everywhere." , Whatever opponent Sister Xiaoyi wants, I will find it for you."
Jun Ziyi said awkwardly: "Um...Sister Lingling, my instructor asked me to participate in this sword fighting competition."
"Ah?" Gu Lingling's face changed slightly, and she pulled Lu Feng away with a slight embarrassment, "Brother Lu, you are the only one I can get a spot for, are you not going to participate?"
Lu Feng smiled calmly, "I know, but there are five quotas for the Qingling Sword Sect. I will ask your father for another one later."
Lu Feng has already checked the relevant information about the Qingling Sword Sect. The current leader is Gu Lingling's father, Gu Tianlao.
Another purpose of his trip was to meet this person whom he had heard of more than three years ago.
"Looking for my father?" Gu Lingling was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of apology: "My father has never been nosy. All matters within the sect are handled by my uncles. All five places have been allocated. There should be no more Change."
"It's okay, I have a solution," Lu Feng smiled meaningfully.
"How?" Gu Lingling suddenly became nervous when he heard this, "Brother Lu...you, you are not going to make a report about what happened in Black Wind Town, are you?"
Gu Lingling suddenly thought of the incident in Black Wind Town where she lost three soul-warming pills to Lu Feng in a bet. If the latter used this incident as a blackmail to negotiate, his father might actually give up one for the sake of face. The quota is out.
Lu Feng was surprised for a moment, "Black Wind Town? Is there anything worth reporting?"
"The matter of being a swordsman for half a year..." Gu Lingling couldn't help but turn red when she remembered that when they parted, she had proposed to save the time limit and serve as a swordsman for Lu Feng next time they met again.
Lu Feng smiled faintly: "What's the point of snitching on this matter? I'm still worried that your father will beat me if you tell me."
Gu Lingling burst out laughing, "Let the daughter of the leader of a dignified sect serve as a sword attendant. I'm afraid no one in the sword sect will believe it."
"Then how can you convince my father?" Gu Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and was full of curiosity.
Lu Feng did not make it clear that he could not guarantee whether he could convince Gu Tianlao before he was sure about Gu Tianlao's temperament and personality.
Under Gu Lingling's guidance, Lu Feng arrived at a villa.
Along the way, I also learned a lot about the Sword Sect from Gu Lingling. The Qingling Sword Sect is divided into two schools, the "Kuai Sword" and the "Qi Sword". The disciples usually practice in Lianfeng Cliff and Sword Lianfeng. , Shenjian Pond, Yangxin Bamboo Forest and other places, there are also places to learn swordsmanship such as the library pavilion and the ancestral hall of the ancestors.
Like the Bieyuan that Lu Feng was taken to at this moment, there were only three buildings in the entire Sword Sect, which were the residences of the leader and the masters of the two halls.
Although top disciples such as Chen Duxiao and Zhuang Xiaojing also have their own residences, the area and environment are much different.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a black beard is lying on a wicker chair with his eyes closed, watching the sunset gradually setting in the sky, giving people a very melancholy feeling.
"Father~" Gu Lingling approached and called.
Gu Tianlao opened a gap in his closed eyes, glanced at Gu Lingling, and replied lazily: "If it's because of the sword fight, I'll go to your two uncles, they will be fully responsible."
Seeing his father close his eyes again, Gu Lingling hurriedly shook his head and explained: "No, I brought two friends to see you."
"No," Gu Tianlao replied coldly, suddenly thinking of something, he opened his eyes again and looked at Gu Lingling, and asked expectantly: "Male or female? What does it have to do with you?"
Seeing Gu Lingling's blushing face and a somewhat twitchy expression, Gu Tianlao was stunned for a moment. He simply stood up and looked at the door of the courtyard. When he saw that he was bringing a handsome man with extraordinary temperament, his lazy expression immediately disappeared and was replaced by His face is full of kindness.
"The one you love?" Gu Tianlao confirmed to his daughter softly, but his eyes were looking at Lu Feng unscrupulously.
Gu Lingling's face immediately turned red and she waved her hands hastily: "No, no, it's my good friend who saved my life in Black Wind Town."
"That's it?" Gu Tianlao immediately lost interest and was about to lie back on the wicker chair.
"He not only saved his daughter, he also saved Senior Brother Yan," Gu Lingling added.
Gu Tianlao was still not interested, and let out a sigh like an old father in disappointment, "If you want to ask for reward and gratitude, let your uncles and uncles receive you well and handle it properly."
