The surrounding area suddenly became quiet!

There was only the crackling sound of the bonfire and the sound of the old man drinking wine.

After a moment of pause, Zhao Yuan said: "Then... I say goodbye, junior!"

The old man suddenly stopped, put the wine jar on the ground, and said, "Can you carry a sword with you?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Yes!"

With that said, he took out the Shisui Sword from his waist.

The old man looked at the sword with a sharp look and said: "Zhishui Sword? I didn't expect that Mr. Zhuge actually gave this sword to you, so can he also pass on his sword skills to you?"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

The old man said: "Use it."

Zhao Yuandao: "Yes!"

Holding the Zhi Shui Sword in his hand, Zhao Yuan slowly walked outside, took a deep breath, his hand shook slightly, and the Zhi Shui Sword suddenly straightened up.

Then with a wave of his hand, a set of sword techniques was immediately unleashed.

After these days of fighting, Zhao Yuan has learned more about swordsmanship. At this moment, his swordsmanship looks sharp, but in fact it has lost some of its edges. It is not as aggressive as before, but rather restrained and eye-catching.

At first glance, it seems that there is no difference from before, but the secret behind it can only be seen by highly skilled people.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Yuan seemed to be surrounded by sword light, and the energy from the sword light drew traces on the ground, which were quite an inch deep.

After a while, after finishing the sword technique, Zhao Yuan withdrew his move and looked at the old man.

The old man still had no expression on his face. He picked up a dead branch on the ground and swung it with one move.

As soon as he saw the two moves, Zhao Yuan was stunned.

He actually used the same sword technique he just used. He only used it once and he actually knew it?

However, this swordsmanship seems to be somewhat different from my own swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately looked at the old man attentively, only to see that the sword technique he used just now was completely different from his hand.

If I had to describe it, it would be as spontaneous as I want!

The moves are still the same, but those moves seem to be done randomly, and the connection between moves is like river water. In addition, the sword moves look ordinary, but the subtle changes are endless.

For him, it was completely out of the scope of sword moves.

After a while, he put down the dead branch and said: "Old Zhuge is extremely smart and has studied Kung Fu all over the world. People who practice martial arts will have their strengths and weaknesses. His internal strength is the best in the world, and his palm skills are unmatched. However,

He did not practice swordsmanship until he was forty years old, but his swordsmanship has become his weakest link. Although this swordsmanship is his lifelong effort, and it can be used to maximize its power with the Shisui Sword, it is not his strong point! And teach you time.

If it is too short, let alone the true essence of this swordsmanship, you will not even understand its intentions, and it is very rare that you can practice it to the current state."

He did not see Zhao Yuan practicing swordsmanship, but he inferred the whole matter from Zhao Yuan's swordsmanship.

The shock in Zhao Yuan's heart can be imagined. He originally thought that he had mastered this sword technique and fully understood the entire sword technique. Now he just needed time to hone it, but now he realized that he was still there at all.

The periphery has turned around.

After that, he threw the dead branches on the ground casually and walked slowly back to the bonfire.

Outside, Zhao Yuan took the Zhisui Sword and did not return to the inn. His mind was filled with the old man's movements just now. But after a while, he found that even though he remembered his movements, he could not use them at all. In fact, his movements

The moves are exactly the ones you use.

The only difference is the realm.

The realms are different, the levels seen are different, and the understandings are even different. The moves used seem to be similar, but the difference can be thousands of miles away.

This is just like looking at the scenery. At the foot of the mountain, you can only see the small area in front of you. Only when you climb the mountain can you see all the mountains at a glance.

As far as realm is concerned, I can't reach it at all now.

But that's not to say there was no gain at all. At least he let himself know what kind of mountain was in front of him and how he should climb up.

Putting the Zhishui Sword back to his waist, Zhao Yuan cupped his hands in the direction of the fire and said loudly: "Thank you for your advice, senior!"

After that, he turned around and walked towards the inn. As for tomorrow's duel, he suddenly lost the slightest interest in his heart. The real Zhuge Tian has long been buried in Feixian Valley. If anyone comes tomorrow, it will naturally be a fake. Even if the fake is defeated,

, so what? It will just become a topic of conversation among people in the world.

Why should he care about this, just like the sword technique he used before.

Zhao Yuan rushed back to the inn, only to find that the inn, which should have been closed at night, was noisy at the moment. Tables, chairs and benches were smashed to the ground everywhere in the room, and some martial arts people were injured.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly squeezed in, and went straight to the room where he lived. The door of the room was open, but there was no one in the room.

"You're finally back!"

The shopkeeper hurried over, his neatly dressed hair now disheveled, and with an anxious look on his face, he said, "That girl has been kidnapped!"

Zhao Yuan was shocked and immediately asked: "Who is he? Where did he go?"

The shop owner said: "They are a group of bandits from the mountains fifty miles away from here. They usually make a living by robbing. They also give the slaves some face and don't come to harass them. Who knew that today they actually changed their gender and rushed to the store to rob them. When they saw

The girl accompanying you was young and beautiful, so I kidnapped her!"

Zhao Yuan's face darkened, he entered the house, grabbed a knife in his hand, and asked, "Where is their lair?"

The shop owner pointed to the west and said: "It's in the northwest. They are all coming on horseback. They should leave many traces along the way. But there are more than a hundred of them. How can you deal with it alone? Ah...

"

Zhao Yuan didn't finish her words at all, he grabbed her hand and said: "Lead the way! If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he turned pale and was dragged to the stable by Zhao Yuan. They each mounted a horse and chased westward.

Just as she said, many horse hoof prints could be clearly seen under the moonlight. As the horse hoof prints continued to be pursued, it didn't take long to see the shadow of a large mountain in the distance. As she got closer, she could see some shadows on the mountainside.

House.

The northwest was originally a vast area with sparsely populated areas, and it was difficult for trees to grow. The imperial court even stationed troops in some places, but their main purpose was actually to guard against foreign enemies. As long as these bandits did not do evil under their noses, most of the time they could do nothing.

Just turn a blind eye.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yuan to reach the foot of the mountain. The mountain was still a bit steep, and there was only a narrow path leading to the middle of the mountain. In fact, this terrain was also the reason why the imperial court was unwilling to send troops to encircle and suppress the mountain. Many bandits' lairs were built on the mountain.

It is a steep place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Many people will be killed or injured if we attack it.

Without saying a word, Zhao Yuan dismounted with his sword in hand.

The shopkeeper said anxiously: "Young hero, if you are talking about the Yinu family, it is better to find some helpers. It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. If you go up, I am afraid that this person will not be rescued, and your own life will be in danger!"

Zhao Yuan ignored her and rushed forward with a knife. As soon as he took a few steps forward, two sharp arrows came straight towards him. Then someone asked loudly: "Who dares to break into my village!"

How could Zhao Yuan pay attention? With a wave of his knife, two sharp arrows were knocked away. When the two men tried to draw their bows again, Zhao Yuan had already approached the two of them. He swung the knife across their necks and asked:

"Where is the girl you kidnapped?"

Facing the gleaming sword, the two of them turned pale, and one of them said: "I... we didn't kidnap anyone."

"No one was kidnapped?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes darkened, those horse hoof prints clearly lead directly to the village.

At that moment, he flipped the knife in his hand, and the handle of the knife immediately struck the two of them. They both screamed and fainted. Then, without stopping at all, they immediately ran upwards.

Basically, there were no obstacles along the way. After a while, Zhao Yuan had arrived at the hillside. There was a house built on the hillside. There were stone walls about ten feet high outside, and every few feet on the wall.

There is a simple arrow tower far away, and an archer standing vigil on top of the arrow tower.

Other than that, the village was quiet, and there was no sign of a celebration after returning home with a full load.

Even though he was impatient, Zhao Yuan was not brainless. If he thought about it carefully, those horse hoof prints did disappear at the foot of the mountain, but there were no horse hoof prints along the way up the mountain. Could they have disappeared out of thin air?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan did not rush to attack the village. Instead, he turned around and looked down the mountain. Under the moonlight, he saw the shopkeeper in red getting on his horse and running in the other direction.

Zhao Yuan immediately ran down the hillside, used his body skills, chased after him, and then hung him dozens of feet away.

The shop owner was riding a horse with all his strength at the moment and didn't even notice a person following quietly behind him.

She probably galloped for a meal, then turned around and entered a mountain col. Zhao Yuan chased after him and found that there was a faint light of fire coming out of the mountain col, so he slipped over quietly and quietly

Look down.

I saw about a hundred people below. The leading man was holding a nine-ring machete and said to the shop owner: "Is that kid really falling into a trap?"

The shopkeeper said: "Of course, since I have done what you said, should I let all my people go?"

The big man laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch the shop owner's pretty face, and said with a somewhat lewd smile: "Don't worry, wait until the group of people in Tianji Mountain are destroyed, and then you serve me well, and it won't be too late for them. As for that little girl

, I will stay here for the time being. When the time comes, you will have Ehuang Nüying, and I will also enjoy the blessings of this group of people!"

The other big men burst into laughter.
Chapter completed!
