The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. A beautiful boy of thirteen or fourteen years old was galloping towards them on a horse. He was holding a long sword and had an angry look on his face. He obviously thought they were monks who did all kinds of evil.
The beautiful young man on the horse shouted: "Evil thief! Look at the sword!"
The long sword carried a powerful sword energy and used the momentum of the galloping horses to attack Ling Ning like thunder!
Ling Ning drew out the stone sword from her waist, clapped her horse and rushed forward, saying loudly: "Well done!"
As soon as the two horses were misaligned, their swords crossed each other, making a loud "ding" sound, and then the beautiful young man turned his horse's head and charged towards him again! Ling Ning calmly faced the battle with his sword. The two of them galloped side by side on horseback, their swords intertwined with "crackling" sparks flying and the sound of sword clanging could be heard endlessly!
Ling Ning was naturally very skilled in swordsmanship since he was a child. He felt that the real energy on the blade of the beautiful young man's sword was very sharp but rather scattered and unfocused. It was obvious that he had not been taught by a famous master and could not display his sword skills. power. However, at such a young age, this beautiful young man actually has the strength to reach the stage of fading away from the dust, and he seems to be quite talented.
Ling Ning hadn't had a sword duel with anyone for a long time and felt that this young man was a talent, so she was not in a hurry to defeat him but instead accompanied him in the fight, deliberately giving in to each other's moves.
The beautiful young man saw that his moves could not do anything to the other party, and the other party was obviously able to do it with ease with a smile on his lips. He became even more angry and reined in the reins and cursed: "What a thief! What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? I don't need you, young master." Let! Kill me if you can!"
Ling Ning had fought with him several times and had already noticed that the beautiful young man in front of him was a woman disguised as a man. He smiled and said: "Hey, I mean well, but you, a little girl, don't appreciate it. What's the difficulty in dealing with you? I can deal with you without a sword. about you!"
"What an arrogant thief! I want to see how you deal with me? Look at the sword!"
She scolded her horse and galloped over. This time she used all her strength to cover the sword with a layer of white light visible to the naked eye, which was very different from the previous moves!
This must be her trick!
Ling Ning stepped forward with a smile. Seeing that the distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, Ling Ning covered the stone sword with a layer of true energy, and then suddenly threw the stone sword with force. The stone sword hit the girl's face like a ray of light!
At this time, the two people were much closer, and Shi Jian was almost coming towards them!
The girl was taken aback and did not expect that the opponent would throw the long sword. Unable to avoid it, she subconsciously swung the sword upward to change the trajectory of the stone sword. Unexpectedly, the moment the long sword just touched the stone sword, a violent force of true energy flowed along the sword body. When she heard it, her whole body was shocked! At this time, the two horses were on the same level. Ling Ning saw the opponent's gap and kicked her in the waist. The girl screamed and fell off the horse and rolled dozens of times on the ground before stopping in embarrassment.
Ling Ning reined in her horse and laughed loudly: "Little girl, how do I feel about my feet?"
Although he kicked the girl off the horse, he did not use any real energy in his kick, he just taught her a lesson. The girl also had cultivation skills, so although she fell hard this time, she would not be easily injured.
The girl got up from the ground, spit out the mud in her mouth, and said angrily: "What a thief! Kill me if you can! What's the point of such teasing? I will fight with you!"
Seeing that she wasn't giving up, Ling Ning was about to teach her a lesson when she suddenly heard someone shout: "Sister! Stop!"
The girl was slightly startled when she heard this and saw a man running over on horseback. It was Qin Fei!
Qin Fei first bowed his hands to Ling Ning and others as a gift, then got off his horse and helped the girl up: "Sister, you are too reckless! How can you chase the enemy alone! Hey, it's a good thing that you didn't meet a real enemy, otherwise wouldn't you have to kill him? Stay here!”
The girl's eyes widened and she said: "Brother, do you think they are not enemies? Impossible! This guy must have burned down the village because of his cultivation!"
Qin Fei said helplessly: "If they were enemies, I'm afraid you would have died long ago."
Ling Ning said: "Brother Qin, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
Qin Fei said: "This is my sister. Xi'er and the others are my benefactors, so don't be rude."
Although Qin Xi was dubious, she still put away her sword: "Then what do these women say?"
Fan Ji seemed to be quite interested in this girl, and she said, "Of course we rescued those poor women! We are worried about what to do with them, so you can take them away."
Qin Xidao: "Since we are the people you rescued, where are those evil thieves? Didn't you kill them?"
Fan Ji shook her head and said, "We just drove them away."
Qin Xi said angrily: "Why did you let them go? Do you know how many people they killed? Three hundred people! You actually let those beasts go!"
Fan Ji smiled and said: "We are just passing by. What does the dispute between you have to do with us? Why should we fight with them?"
Qin Xi ignored Qin Fei's obstruction and still said loudly: "Yes, yes! You monks will only bully ordinary people. If you protect each other, you will be punished by God sooner or later!"
Fan Ji saw that the more she spoke, the more outrageous she said, and when she got angry, she wanted to teach her a lesson, but was quickly stopped by Ling Ning.
Ling Ning said: "We really didn't know those monks were doing such evil things, otherwise we wouldn't have let them go. Little girl, why do you have to vent your anger on us?"
Qin Xi also knew that she was a little excited. No matter what, the other party should be grateful for saving those poor women.
She got on her horse and said, "They must not have gone far yet! I'll chase them!"
Qin Fei quickly pulled the reins: "No!"
"Brother, let go! I must kill those beasts!"
Qianmei'er suddenly said: "Hey! You stinky girl! What if you catch up? With your little cultivation, even if you go, your life will be in vain. You might as well keep this life and practice well before settling accounts with them in the future."
Qin Fei also said quickly: "Sister, she is right, you can't be impulsive! Fighting for a temporary victory is nothing. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!"
"But...but..." Qin Xi couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears before she could finish her sentence.
Qin Fei comforted her and said, "Sister, don't cry! Sooner or later we will seek justice for the dead people!"
Although Ling Ning and the others did not see how those monks committed crimes, they could imagine from the behavior of the two brothers and sisters that the scene must be extremely tragic. Although Ling Ning wanted to help the two brothers and sisters, as a disciple of Shui Yuetian, he could not rashly intervene in the civil war of other countries without the permission of the sect. He might cause misunderstandings from other major sects and cause trouble for Zhao. bring greater disaster to the country.
Qin Fei wiped away his sister's tears and said to the three of them: "I'll make you laugh. We are destined to meet each other. I didn't expect to see you again. I don't know where you are going?"
Ling Ning said: "We wanted to go to the Zhongsheng Empire, so we took the opportunity to pass through the Zhao Kingdom."
Qin Fei nodded and said: "Since the few of you who are willing to save these poor women want to come with those monks who do all kinds of evil, I have offended you before. The way to the Zhongsheng Empire happened to pass by our camp, so if you don't mind, let me do it." As a landlord."
Ling Ning and the other two looked at each other, Qian Meier nodded slightly, but Huan Ji still looked indifferent.
Ling Ning took charge and said, "Since we are on our way, let's go and make some noise."
Several people escorted more than two dozen women to the rebel camp. Because there were more women, the speed was much slower. During the journey, Qian and Ling couldn't bear to drag Huan Ji together to help the Qin brothers and sisters heal the wounds of those poor women, but they won the favor of the two brothers and sisters.
At noon, everyone came to a village that was burned to charcoal. Many rebel soldiers were carrying out the burnt black corpses from the ruins. There were hundreds of charred corpses densely packed in the open space, and there were many more. Soldiers were digging a hole to bury him.
When all the surviving women saw this scene, they all cried bitterly and ran towards their homes to see if any relatives had survived. Unfortunately, it was impossible for anyone to survive under the scorched earth. These poor women could only wail loudly. They shouted that God was unfair, and some even wanted to kill them but were quickly stopped by the soldiers.
Seeing this scene, both Qian and Ling couldn't help but take a breath, secretly thinking that they really should have killed those evil-doing monks just now. On the contrary, Fan Ji looked unconcerned. It seemed that the environment in Fairy Dust Continent was better than here. Much more cruel.
As night fell, only more than half of the villagers' corpses were dug out. Some of the remaining corpses were completely mutilated with only broken arms and limbs. Some were buried too deep and could not be dug out, so they had no choice but to give up.
Qin Fei arranged for the soldiers to camp and stay here. He took his sister to the campfire of Ling Ning and others.
"We will stay here tonight and then set off back to the base camp tomorrow morning. We originally wanted to stay a few more days to bury the villagers properly, but the enemy is still watching to avoid being attacked by them... ah..."
Qin Xi's eyes were red and she had obviously been crying for a long time. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely skin and cramp those bastards to avenge the villagers!"
Qin Fei stroked her hair lovingly and then said to Ling Ning: "There is nothing in the army that can be used. The wild boar and some water and wine we just shot are just a token of my friendship as a landlord. Please don't dislike it. No." I boast that the roasted pork cooked by my little sister is indeed one of the best in our army."
Although Ling Ning and others had long since stopped eating food from the world, they could not refute his face, so they happily accepted it.
Qin Fei really didn't exaggerate. Qin Xi's craftsmanship is indeed extremely good. The aroma of a wild boar being roasted is overflowing. Coupled with her homemade secret sauce that adds various wild mushrooms, tomatoes, and sauces, the taste is even better. A must.
Even Huan Ji, who had been eating for a long time, couldn't help but eat several pieces, and Qian and Ling were full of praise.
Everyone drank and chatted together, and Qin Fei did not hide anything about his life experience.
It turns out that the two brothers and sisters were originally born in a scholarly family in the Kingdom of Zhao. Because their father was dissatisfied with the emperor's licentiousness and spoke up for the people, the emperor angered the emperor. The emperor sent the whole family to the border. On the way, their parents both contracted diseases and died. , the two brothers and sister could not escape death, but they were rescued by the leader of the rebel army and adopted as adopted sons and daughters. The two brothers and sisters abandoned literature and turned to martial arts to achieve today's achievements.
Although Qin Fei said it in an understatement, it must be full of sadness.
Compared to her brother Qin Fei, her younger sister Qin Xi has had extremely high talent for cultivation since she was a child. However, her family has been busy running for life and has no energy to practice. She has no famous teacher to guide her and can only practice by herself by picking up some relics of dead monks. Fortunately, she was extremely talented and had no one to teach her, but with her own perseverance and intelligence, she was able to break through the phase of fading away from dust. Unfortunately, what she had learned was too complicated and there were no good techniques. No matter how smart she was, No matter how hard you work, you can't make any progress.
Speaking of this, Qin Fei sighed and said: "Xie'er has been very talented in swordsmanship since she was a child. I originally wanted her to join the Jianling Sect, but this child can't bear to leave and I have been delaying it until now... ugh..."
Qin Xi shook his head and said: "This is all of my own free will. Our rebel army is at a critical moment and I will not leave under any circumstances..."
Ling Ning said: "This little girl is indeed very talented, but even if she wants to learn swordsmanship, she doesn't have to go to the Sword Ling Sect... With this child's talent, even if she doesn't go to a big sect, as long as someone is willing to guide her carefully, she will be able to do it by herself sooner or later. Something has been accomplished…”
Qian Meier raised her eyebrows and turned to Ling Ning, seemingly saying with deep meaning: "Isn't that true? It's a pity where to find such an expert in swordsmanship?"
Ling Ning also frowned and said: "This is really difficult..."
Fan Ji saw Qian Meier's tone and understood what she meant. In line with the principle that even if she ate someone else's roast pork, she should help out a little bit. She glanced at Qin Fei and said, "Mei'er and I are both good at using swords." He is not good at it, but Xiao Ning has some experience. In terms of cultivation, his peak strength in the early stage of pill formation has few rivals in the entire mortal world..."
Before Ling Ning could react, she was slightly startled when she heard this and said, "If you say this, it seems that I am not humble enough. I have few rivals and so on..."
Qin Fei was also a very clever person. He still didn't understand what Qian and Huan meant. He patted his sister's vest and said, "Xier, this Master Ling in front of you is very good at swordsmanship. If you can ask him for advice in the future, It will definitely be of great benefit..."
Qin Xi's eyes rolled and she understood what her brother meant. She quickly said: "Although I also want to follow Mr. Ling to learn more about swordsmanship, but they will leave tomorrow and can't stay longer... ugh..."
Qian Meier said: "Besides, you are not related to each other and he has no obligation to teach you. Xiao Ning, don't you think so?"
At this time, Ling Ning heard something, but he thought that he was an abandoned disciple of Jian Ling Sect and if he accepted a disciple rashly, he might hurt her, so he could only hesitate and said: "Well...it doesn't matter, it's okay for me to stay for two more days. I can give her some tips on swordsmanship..."
Fan Ji couldn't stand their irritating conversation and said flatly: "Such a teaching name is unfair and unjust. If you are serious, Xi'er, why don't you accept Xiao Ning as your teacher? Even though he is young, with his strength, sooner or later he will not be Chi." You must not miss this opportunity..."
Ling Ning heard what she said and quickly declined: "Ah, how can this be good..."
Qin Xi knelt on her knees and said loudly: "The little girl Qin Xi is willing to accept the master as her master! From now on, she will be loyal! I hope the master accepts his disciples!"
"this……"
Qian Meier patted his vest and said teasingly: "Xiao Ning, why are you hesitating? If you don't teach me such a good young talent, will you teach me?"
"this……"
Fan Ji ate the roasted pork and was very enthusiastic about it: "If you don't accept it, why are you hesitating? If you don't accept it, I will accept it, that's fine!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Why don't I take it back?"
The two brothers Qin Fei and Qin Xi were overjoyed when they heard this. The latter said loudly: "Master, please bow to me as a disciple!"
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ling Ning respectfully, then took the wine glass handed by Qin Fei, filled a glass and brought it to Ling Ning: "Master, my disciple proposes a toast to you!"
Seeing her sincerity, Ling Ning nodded slightly and took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp: "Good disciple, get up!"
"Hey, hey! Wait!"
Fan Ji stopped Qin Xi who was about to get up. She said with a bad smile: "Xiao Ning, since you accepted this child's gift, why didn't you return the gift? How could the master get up so easily without returning the gift?"
Qian Meier also laughed and said: "That's right! But your master, Xi'er, is not rich. It's hard to get him to give you something valuable!"
She naturally knew that Ling Ning had spent all his money on the last battle against Yi Que at the beach. Where could he have any spare money? Besides, he usually only has a stone sword and no other weapons. It seems really difficult to get him to come up with some valuable treasure.
Ling Ning quickly thought about the valuables on her body. Although he had captured many weapons belonging to other monks, these weapons all had sect marks. If they were given to her and someone recognized them, it would inevitably lead to disaster. After thinking about it, Damn the flash of inspiration in his head!
He coughed softly and said, "Being a teacher naturally means you should be rewarded in return!"
He took out a secret book from the ring, which was the "Twelve Swords of Tai Cang" that he got from the auction house!
Qian Meier smiled and said: "Oh, I forgot about it. You are borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha..."
Ling Ning rolled her eyes at her and then said sternly to Qin Xi: "This "Twelve Taicang Swords" is a gift for you from my master. This sword skill is the secret book of the "Tai Cang" sect in Xianchen Continent. It is enough. If you have reached the late stage of elixir formation, if there is anything you don’t understand, feel free to send a message to your teacher..."
Qin Xi was overjoyed and kowtowed: "Xier, thank you so much, master!"
"You're welcome, get up quickly!"
Qin Fei raised his hand to Ling Ning and said gratefully: "Thank you very much!"
Qianmei'er was as happy to see Ling Ning accepting a disciple as if she was accepting one herself. She coughed lightly and pretended to be an elder: "Wait a minute, Master, I also have a gift for you!"
The Qin siblings were slightly startled, and Ling Ning quickly explained their relationship.
Ling Ning said: "Mei'er, what are you going to give to Xi'er?"
Qianmei'er thought for a while and then took out a long sword. The sword's blade was very long and narrow, and the whole body was light and soft. The sword's blade looked like a pool of autumn water under the reflection of the moonlight.
She easily bent the sword into a circle and then released it. The sword immediately recovered and emitted crisp sounds.
"This sword is called 'Qiu Shui' and I have used it before. Although it is not a famous sword, it is very sharp, so I will give it to you as a gift!"
Qin Xi happily took the sword and kowtowed respectfully.
Ling Ning said: "Mei'er, you are really thoughtful. This sword is quite spiritual and should be in the category of a spiritual weapon... This sword is so soft, Xi'er, you can hide it around your waist and suddenly pull it out when facing an enemy, so you can strike first."
"Xie'er understands, thank you uncle for giving me the sword!"
Ling Ning turned his gaze to Huan Ji and said with ill intentions, "I wonder what kind of greeting the master has for me?"
Fan Ji pretended to be stupid and said: "What? Do I want to give it away too?"
Ling Ning said: "You proposed this first, so of course you have to give it away! After all, you are also my fellow senior sister, and besides, you have to show how much you just ate from someone else's food!"
Qianmei'er also laughed and said: "That's right! Sister Fan Ji, you are a 'true immortal' from the Fairyland Continent. Please come up with some rare treasures to open our eyes!"
Fan Ji thought for a moment and waved her hand: "Isn't it just a meeting gift? Don't underestimate me! I'm afraid she won't dare to ask for what I bring out..."
Qian and Ling were both curious about her and said in unison: "What is it?"
Fan Ji smiled mysteriously and took out a snow-white...egg!
"Egg?"
"Yes, it's an egg!"
