Chapter 8 The Life and Death Agreement of the Prodigal Son Sword
He quickly opened the door and checked, but the figure of the man in black was gone. Just when Lin Yu turned around and was about to go back to the room, he suddenly found a dart stuck in the door frame.
Lin Yu frowned, took it off and took a closer look: there was a note on it, writing: On the third day of Xu, I will see you in the southwest woods outside the city, and Jian Chi will stay.
Returning to the room and sitting down slowly, Lin Yu really couldn't figure out why this swordsman who had been in the world for more than ten years suddenly came to find him. Could it be that he had the same purpose as them...
But then I thought about it and it wasn't right. Swordsman is obsessed with swords all his life. He regards the sword in his hand as more important than his life and never cares about anything else...
When he thought of the puzzling, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, drank a glass of turbid wine, and said with a wry smile: "That's it, that's all. I'll go meet him in three days and everything will be clear by then."
"Hey, you thief. Why are you lying on the table and not sleeping all night?" Qing'er pushed Lin Yu, her words full of care.
Lin Yu didn't know when he fell asleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Qing'er Yingjing standing beside him and said, "You're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
Qing'er pulled a few slightly curly black hairs and smiled sweetly: "Yeah, I had a dream last night."
Lin Yu was a little puzzled and asked: "Dream, what dream?"
Qing'er stuck out her tongue at Lin Yu, smiled naughtily and said, "Hey, I won't tell you."
Just as Qing'er finished speaking, her vision went dark and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Lin Yu had quick hands and eyes and caught her in time, so she didn't fall to the ground.
Slowly helping Qing'er to the bed and sitting down to rest, Lin Yu asked with concern: "What's wrong, Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
After a long time, Qing'er replied weakly: "I don't know, I just felt a pain in my chest, and then it became like this."
A trace of uneasiness immediately crept into Lin Yu's heart, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "Yesterday, I used my true energy to help suppress Qing'er's poisonous gas, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It seems that we have to find the red lady as soon as possible.
We need an antidote, otherwise the consequences will be..."
Seeing the change in Lin Yu's expression, Qing'er already guessed the reason. She looked at Lin Yu and asked softly: "Do you think I will die?"
Lin Yu hurriedly held Qing'er's little hand tightly. The small hand that used to be as smooth as jade was a little cold now. He gently used his hand to tease Qing'er's slightly messy hair after sleeping all night.
. Said in an unquestionable tone: "Silly girl, how could you die? Don't worry, as long as I am here, you will be fine."
Qing'er's paper-pale face revealed a happy smile, without saying anything, she just nodded lightly.
Three days later, it was dusk in the grove thirty miles southwest of the city. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the grove, as if it were covered with a blood-red veil.
The tired bird has returned to the forest, and from time to time there are sounds of bird calls. Where the bamboo shadows are whirling, I saw a man dressed in white, holding a three-foot long sword, standing in the wind with his back to the setting sun.
When Lin Yu walked ten meters away from the man, he saw the man in white and said without looking back: "You came on time, and now you are here just now."
Lin Yu stopped, smiled faintly and said, "I'm always on time, but I didn't expect Senior Jian Chi to arrive so early. I'm rude to you."
Jian Chi still didn't look back and said: "Look at how beautiful the sunset is. It's a pity that the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's just near dusk. Before long, its beauty will disappear without a trace and be completely swallowed up by the night.
.will also be completely forgotten by the world.”
Lin Yu smiled calmly and said: "No, you are wrong. The night is always temporary. The sun will rise tomorrow. It is the night that should be forgotten, not the beautiful sunset that once left behind."
The sword idiot was obviously a little surprised by Lin Yu's words. He turned around and said with an admiring smile: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. At such a young age, he has such insight."
Lin Yu looked at Jian Chi carefully. The vicissitudes of life on his face and the wrinkles on his forehead bore witness to the man's weathering. He asked lightly: "I don't know what senior Jian Chi is calling this junior to do? It's not just to talk about the sunset."
Bar!"
Jian Chi's expression suddenly became a little more serious, and he asked coldly: "Leng Ye, the best killer in the world, died under your sword?"
Lin Yu nodded and replied: "Well, yes, I killed him."
Jian Chi continued to ask in a cold tone: "Then do you know who I am?"
Lin Yu replied calmly: "You are the junior brother of the Sword God. Based on seniority, you should be Leng Ye's uncle. What, you want to kill me today to avenge your nephew?"
Jian Chi snorted coldly and said, "Young master-killer boy, you are not worthy of being my nephew?"
Lin Yu looked a little confused and asked, "If that's the case, why did you call me here?"
The sword madman looked a little sad, and he sighed and said: "Sword Master and I come from the same sect, and we are both arrogant people. In terms of swordsmanship, no one is convinced by the other. Therefore, we fight with each other.
nearly thirty years.
Until ten years ago, there was a sword debate in Huashan, and all the sword masters in the world competed for the title of supreme swordsman in the martial arts world. My senior brother and I were naturally no exception. After I defeated all the masters of the Wuyue Sword Sect, in the
Finally, we had a decisive battle with him on the top of Mount Huashan.
In that battle, I used all I had learned in my life, but I was defeated by him in the end. From then on, I began to escape to the desert, practicing swordsmanship in the yellow sand sky every day, and never got involved in the affairs of the world again.
.Until I am confident that I can defeat my senior brother.
But just after I returned from the desert, I heard that my senior brother had been killed by his favorite disciple Leng Ye. So I followed Leng Ye day and night, but all I found was a corpse."
Lin Yu said calmly: "Do you want to challenge me in swordsmanship?"
The sword idiot nodded and replied, "Well, that's right. Leng Ye has become the true successor of my senior brother Sword God. Looking at the world today, there are no more than three people who can kill him with a sword. Even
I may not even be 100% sure that I can kill it.
I carefully inspected the sword marks on Leng Ye's body. He died from a sword piercing his throat from the front. It was definitely not a sneak attack. It can be seen that the person who killed him had reached a superb level of swordsmanship. Such a master of swordsmanship.
, it is really a great pity in life to not know him for a while!”
Lin Yu smiled lightly and said, "Senior, you must compete with me in swordsmanship!"
Jian Chi nodded heavily and said, "Well, this is also the purpose of calling you here today."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry that I can't obey my order."
Jian Chi asked: "Why, are you afraid of death?"
Lin Yu replied: "I'm not afraid of death, but I still have important things to finish."
Jian Chi asked: "When will it be finished?"
Lin Yu said: "I don't know the specific time, I think it won't be long."
Jian Chi asked: "Is three months enough?"
Lin Yu paused for a moment and said, "That should be enough."
Jian Chi said: "Okay, then the decisive battle will take place here in three months."
Lin Yu smiled lightly and said: "Stay here and finish what you are doing. No worries. I will definitely come to the appointment."
Jian Chi said: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Three months later, we'll still be here for a showdown!"
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared deep into the jungle within a moment, leaving Lin Yu standing alone. The evening wind ruffled his hair and messed up his heart...
