Chapter 525(1/2)
The remarks of several merchants left Yang Xiling speechless.
As they said, she had never experienced a catastrophe, and had been away from the Central Plains over the years, enjoying a rare peaceful life, and did not experience the pain of fighting in the Central Plains for years, nine out of ten families were empty. But after all, it was the young man's character, how could she admit her mistake? Thinking of this, Yang Xiling said: "I don't care about this. If anyone of you knows the leader of Heilongzhai, please send me a message. Tomorrow at noon, this female hero will wait for him to come in the downtown area of the county town and fight him fairly. If he loses, disband the Heilongzhai."
The words were full of joy and were quite feminine.
Someone asked, "What if you lose?"
Yang Xiling glared at him, "How could this girl lose?"
“I’m talking about if.”
"If this girl loses, all the silver she has on her body will belong to him, and she will have this sword!"
After saying that, she put Jinghong Sword on the table.
When everyone saw Jinghong Sword, they saw that the hilt was simple, the sword body was covered with rust, and there was not even a scabbard. They were wrapped around with hemp ropes and laughed loudly.
"Your sword, I guess you can change to an iron pot when you go to the Chengdong Blacksmith Shop."
Seeing everyone sarcastic, Yang Xiling said to Li Qingcheng: "Don't you care?"
Li Qingcheng spread his hands and expressed his unwillingness to participate.
Yang Xiling snorted in dissatisfaction, and after learning the meal, he left the restaurant.
The matter of Yang Xiling's challenge to the head of Heilongzhai was spread by the troublemakers and soon spread in the county town. One was the leader of Heilongzhai, who has been occupying the mountains and becoming kings over the years and collecting money from past merchants. The other was the second lady of the first White Horse Gang in Guandong. Although it was not a big deal to look at the world, it was a sensation in this county town.
As for the location of the competition, Yang Xiling was chosen in the downtown area.
The first battle for the heroine comes out, of course, she will be watched.
If you choose a place that is rarely visited, it will be like walking in a brocade dress at night, and you will not be happy.
As for winning or losing, Ms. Yang's cultivation level is about to enter the realm of hearing, and there is a support from the White Horse Gang behind him. How could he be afraid of a mere copycat king?
On the second day, Yang Xiling specially changed into a red outfit, dressed up carefully, and came to the downtown city. Someone had already spread the battle. Originally, the place where vegetables were sold in the center, but now they are all gone. The battles in the rivers and lakes did not want to harm the fish in the pond, so he simply closed the stall today and just took a day off. He came to the downtown city to watch a competition between the female hero Yang and the leader of the Heilong Village.
Time passes.
It was noon in a blink of an eye. The lady Yang waited around and saw the leader of the Black Dragon Village coming.
She was a little irritable.
Another hour passed, the Black Dragon Village Master still did not show up.
Everyone began to talk.
"What a status the leader of the Black Dragon Village is, he doesn't have the same knowledge as this girl."
"It may not be possible that this female lady Yang is the sister of the leader of the No. 1 Sword of Kanto. Perhaps it was because she was unwilling to offend the White Horse Gang, so she chose to avoid the battle."
Yang Xiling heard it in his ears and was very unhappy.
Don’t you know me? For my sister’s sake?
Could it be that the mobs like Heilongzhai are just like that and are afraid of themselves?
At the beginning, she looked like a chivalrous woman and maintained her demeanor, but another hour passed, it was dusk and she was still not touching the water, and she couldn't help herself. Is she clearly looking down on me?
The onlookers saw that there was no excitement to watch, and they left even though they were gone.
At this moment, I heard someone on the outside saying, "Who is Yang Xiling and Yang Female Hero?"
Yang Xiling was happy, "I am!"
The people were separated and saw a young man coming, following two porters, carrying a food load, coming to Yang Xiling, and bowing: "Our village leader has long admired the famous heroine, but if there is something wrong today, I can't come to the appointment. I specially ordered me to send a load of wine and food. I don't respect me, please accept it with a smile."
Don't hit people with a smile.
He is polite, but Yang Xiling doesn't even have the chance to take the opportunity to find fault.
She asked with a strong face, "What's more important than our martial arts competition?"
The young man said: "A noble guest came to our village. Please forgive me if you want to give me more."
Yang Xiling said: "Who wins today's battle?"
The young man said: "If the heroine wants to win, then it will be considered that the heroine will win."
"What does it mean to win?" Yang Xiling saw that the other party looked down on him so much, and shouted, "Go back and tell you the leader of the village. Since he refuses to come forward, I will visit Heilong Village in person tomorrow!"
The young man looked embarrassed and had to say, "I will convey it."
After saying that, he left in a daze.
Yang Xiling said, "Come back." She pointed to the food load, "Please take away the things, so I can afford to eat. Besides, who knows if you will poison the wine and food?"
The young man ordered his servants to pick up the things.
Back at the inn, Yang Xiling said: "Which is this Black Dragon Village?"
Li Qingcheng said: "I don't think it's anything."
"I provoked them all, but they gave them the face to beat them. If you were you, you would be able to endure it. There must be something wrong with it."
Li Qingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "The world is so big, all of them are from the world. If you look up, you don't have any interests. There is no need to tear your face off because of trivial matters or reputation disputes. The leader of the Black Dragon Village is quite good at being a human being."
"Then I will go to Baishan tomorrow, will you follow me?"
Li Qingcheng asked, "What am I going to do?"
"After all, I am a female hero, so there must be a follower behind me, right? Besides, don't you claim that your swordsmanship is very powerful? Why don't you choose their Black Dragon Village for me?"
Li Qingcheng said: "The world had its own rules hundreds of years ago, which were related to humanity and some unwritten rules. If you rely on your high martial arts skills and do whatever you want, wouldn't this world be messed up? If this is true, then Zhao Langjiang would have killed all the people in the world. King Shu and King Yu have become his deceased souls under his sword, but this won't happen."
“Why?”
Li Qingcheng explained: "Everything in heaven and earth has a way."
"What is Tao?"
"It is a rule, a principle, and a kind of constraint. If a person who practices will kill others as he wishes, it is like the arrival of the heavenly way, which ultimately leads to the backlash of the heavenly way. Just like in the world now, the true essence is thin and the martial arts are declining, it is very difficult to even break the hearing realm, and the people are displaced and suffering. This is the chaotic world caused by the rules and order chaos."
How could Yang Xiling listen to such words? "I don't understand."
"When you grow up, you will naturally understand."
Speaking of Zhao Langjiang, Yang Xiling was intrigued, "I heard from my sister that Zhao Langjiang is the devil king who kills people, or the world's first sword, leading a large army to sweep the world. Wherever he goes, no grass grows. Even the King of Shu and King Yu's soldiers are not his opponents. Is he the most powerful person in the world?"
Li Qingcheng smiled slightly, "It's just that."
Yang Xiling asked tentatively, "How is the sword technique better than me?"
Li Qingcheng said: "You are better than him."
“Why?”
"Because his nameless sword technique only has ten moves, but you have eleven moves."
Ten, not as good as eleven.
So simple.
Yang Xiling smiled, "I finally told the truth. Then, I am better than Zhao Langjiang, and my sister is better than me. At this martial arts conference, her title of No. 1 in the world is stable!"
Li Qingcheng smiled but said nothing.
The martial arts conference is the best in the world?
Is it really that attractive?
If time could go back, he would rather give up the sword, give up the position of head of the family, and retire with his beloved. If he and Li Jinping had chosen to settle in Changzhou, not participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, nor interfere with the disputes in the martial arts world, and no matter what the way of heaven came, they might have been full of children.
However, time cannot go back.
There is no if in the world.
Yang Xiling had enough food and drinks, and went back to her room to rest. Li Qingcheng went out late at night and left the county town.
In less than a stick of incense, his figure appeared in the Black Dragon Village.
As soon as the middle-aged man with white hair appeared, the entire Heilong Village was in chaos. After a while, three men came to the gate of the mountain village. Their faces were covered with gauze, and they looked like mummies, with only a pair of eyes exposed outside. It was the second leader of the Heilong Village, the third leader and the fourth leader. When the three knelt down when they saw Li Qingcheng, they said, "This hero, we have given gifts, and we have admitted it. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Li Qingcheng smiled slightly and said, "Satisfied, satisfied."
He glanced at the three of them and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, yesterday's move was a bit heavy."
"It's not just a bit heavy. The boss is still lying on the bed. What I know is that we were beaten up by your old man. Those who don't know thought we had just returned from Egypt's tomb robbers."
After saying this, Li Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed, but he did not forget the purpose of coming today.
"I have something to ask for."
"The hero just speaks."
Li Qingcheng said: "My friend hasn't had enough fun today, and he will come to Heilongzhai to worship the mountain tomorrow."
"Come on, come, are you afraid that she won't do it? No, welcome, we will be our guest of honor when we come. What heroes do, what will you do if you say."
Li Qingcheng said: "My friend just debuted and didn't understand the rules of the world. I haven't entered the world for a long time, and I don't understand the rules of the world now. However, when she comes to worship the mountains tomorrow, I hope you can close your business."
"ah?"
"Your Heilong Village has been established, and it has always been five plus two, white plus black, nine ninety-six. The brothers in the village are too tight, which is not a good thing. I have to take a break occasionally and have a rest. In the future, I can regroup and do a big fight. You have also heard that the general Li Bufan of Yinyang is coming to Shanhaiguan. A big battle is inevitable. Maybe you can take the opportunity to escape."
