After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect

Chapter 114 113. Song Yan and Xiao Jiu (4.6K words - please subscribe)

For Song Yan, today was another endlessly busy day.

The dead leaf swordsman suddenly left in the afternoon.

Before leaving, he had a serious face and a bit of uncontrollable nervousness flashing in his pupils. This kind of nervousness had never been shown even when he went to the battle of Jingzhe before.

Song Yan immediately understood that the "supervisory army" of the "two fox and wolf clans" was coming.

It's time for the "pebbles" he threw out to ask for directions to fall.

As for what kind of results will occur after falling, he does not need to deliberately look for it, because the results will naturally come to him.

Getting information earlier and reacting earlier may not necessarily be a good thing, because your "early step" may have been part of some people's calculations. They have laid a dragnet for you to get through for this "early step". .

Therefore, sometimes, "one step late" is the real "one step early".

At this time, Song Yan actually lost his sense of belonging to the identity of "Song Yan". What he liked and loved was the life of Bai Xiuhu in front of him.

This kind of life is very peaceful, and there are no fickle stone men around, cunning Gu Huangzi, Junior Sister Su Su who is always breaking the bottom line record, Lu who wants to kill you one moment and is kneeling in front of you the next moment. Junior Brother, Junior Brother Shangguan.

As for the identity of the leader of the Puppet Sect, he didn't care.

To him, "sect leader" is just a step to obtain high-level skills and resources.

However, he can obtain the former through other means, and the latter can be completely compensated for with longevity.

This is not necessary for him.

The reason why he took the initiative to control the Puppet Sect was just to have a "buffer that he could control" between him and the Mountain and Sea Monster Clan.

Seeing that the busy day was over, Song Yanchang breathed a sigh of relief. He stood at the entrance of the courtyard with his hands on his hips and looked at the sky.

The sun is approaching dusk, no matter what is happening in the distance, at least at this moment, the sunset on the sky is beautiful.

Song Yan said hello to his fellow apprentices who were recuperating in the bamboo hut, then turned his sword into a rainbow and quickly arrived at a small desert island on the misty sea.

The stone tablet inscribed with "Tomb of Junior Sister Xiaojiu" is located in the dusk on the top of the mountain.

There are several bouquets of white flowers in front of the stone tablet. Apparently other brothers and sisters have come to visit.

Song Yan sensed his surroundings slightly, but found no one.

At least at this moment, the island is empty.

He took out a jar of wine from the storage bag, sat in front of the stone tablet, let go of the perception of "Xiao Gui Xiaojiu", then leaned back slightly, leaned against an old evergreen tree, and looked sideways at the darkening sky outside. The sunset is getting darker and thicker.

'Master'

Xiaogui Xiaojiu shouted tremblingly in the world of spirits.

Song Yan responded: 'Have you ever watched the sunset leisurely in such a long time? ’

Xiaogui Xiaojiu said: "No."

Song Yan said: "Then watch the sunset with me."

He patted open the mud seal, brought the wine to his mouth, raised his head and took a sip. The wine burned into his internal organs like a flowing fire, and burned again, burning out all thoughts, and then briefly jumped out of joy and sorrow, three thousand trouble.

Although the wine is ordinary wine, after he read the "Hundred Books of Mysterious Herbs" and studied the "Alchemy of Ordinary Fire", he added a lot of ingredients to it to make it achieve the effect of "if a mortal drinks it, he will die, and he It’s just right to drink.”

Song Yan said: "I order you to forget that you are a ghost and speak to me with the same tone and character as when you were alive. Can you do it?"

Xiaogui Xiaojiu sighed softly.

Song Yanqi said: "No?"

He had already experienced the perverted ability of "King Hu". Once you become a ghost, no matter how scheming, chaste or attitude you were during your lifetime, your attitude will be changed and you will become oriented towards him and become unable to disobey any of his orders.

Xiaogui Xiaojiu said: "I can do it, but I'm just afraid that the master will be angry."

Song Yan said: "I'm not angry. I'll say whatever comes to my mind. I'll scold you when I need to, and I'll say it when I need to say it."

Xiaojiu took a deep breath and got ready.

Song Yan took another sip of wine, and the evening breeze blew from the mountains and rivers, blowing up his hair on both sides of his temples, making him look like a free and easy knight.

This scene fell into the eyes of Junior Sister Xiaojiu, and she said coldly: "Everyone was deceived by your appearance! So did I! If I had known that you were the big devil, I would have told the big elder with all my life! Even if you were If you catch it, I will go skinny and cramped!”

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling secretly amused.

It would be impossible for Grandma Fox to obey his orders again.

Junior sister Xiaojiu is so silly that she is so sincere even when she becomes a ghost.

He thought for a while and said: "People in the world cannot help themselves. I was kidnapped to the Puppet Sect. In order to survive, I had to join forces with others."

"Who are you?"

"Song Yan."

"Song Yan? Song... Demon Song?!"

"Am I famous?"

"Devil Song! You've made us mad. You used Ancestor Su to fight against Grandma Fox, but the fishermen benefited.

Later, everyone is looking for you, but you can't be found at all.

I heard my uncle accidentally say that you might have taken a huge treasure, and that treasure might bring disaster to the entire Three Kingdoms.

But you don't care at all, you are selfish, you are the same devil as Gu Huangzi!

Let me just say, how could that coward Bai Xiuhu be so powerful? It turns out you are such a big devil! "

Song Yan was silent for a while, and then patiently explained, such as he actually did not use the Thorn Fox Alliance at that time but tried his best to help, and he had no choice but to digest the "blood of the tiger king", which was the arrow on the string that had to be shot.

However, every time he explained, Junior Sister Xiao Jiu would ask various questions in surprise.

Slowly, he understood.

Some truths are destined not to become answers.

He took another sip of wine and said, "Then I will give you two choices now.

One, follow me, see the world with me, gain more knowledge, and then talk to me about these things. And if there is a chance in the future, I will help you seize the body. Although it is impossible to seize the body at the Lianxuan level, I promise that I will do my best to help you once there is hope."

Before she finished speaking, Junior Sister Xiao Jiu said, "I won't seize the body!"

Song Yan asked curiously, "Why? Maybe I'm just helping you seize the body of a dying person, or even a newly dead person."

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu said, "Anyway, I don't want it!"

Song Yan said, "But you haven't heard the second choice yet."

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu said, "Can I refuse?"

Song Yan said gently, "I said, you need to forget that you are a ghost, and judge with the attitude when you are alive."

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu nodded.

Song Yan said, "Second, listen to you, tell me what you want to do, and I will help you."

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu was stunned, and then quieted down.

Song Yan continued to drink.

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu glanced at the tombstone next to her and suddenly whispered, "In my mind, Senior Brother Bai was a scumbag and a waste, but the Senior Brother Bai I met in the last moments of my life was a good man.

Brother Bai, I actually have some unfulfilled wishes. Can you help me? When my wishes are fulfilled, I will have no regrets."

Song Yan put down the wine jar.

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu hurriedly said, "It's okay if it doesn't work. I will listen to my master."

Song Yan said in a muffled voice, "Okay! Who said it can't work?"

When Song Yan returned to Hongye Island, he found that the formation shield seemed to have been lifted.

Obviously, some kind of agreement had been reached, which allowed the Nanwu Sword Sect to temporarily remove the formation with peace of mind.

But Song Yan didn't know what the agreement was.

But even if he didn't know, he understood one thing: after the visitors from the Fox and Wolf tribes learned from Yu Xuanwei's Preservation Jade that Song Yan had actually digested the essence and blood of the "Tiger Tribe", they were completely stunned. They were unable to give a follow-up response, so they left a blank time to discuss or wait for instructions from the tribe.

This point, I am afraid that not only the Fox and Wolf tribes are confused, but also the Nanwu Sword Sect and the Puppet Sect will be confused.

If you use your toes to think, you will know how terrible the poison of the "King Tiger Blood" is.

It is incredible that it can be digested.

At this point, Song Yan also knows that the "meaning behind" of the "King Tiger Blood" has far surpassed the "power on the surface of the blood". This thing is probably related to something extremely important, because there is only one left, so it attracts so many big monsters to pursue.

Now

His original idea of ​​going to the other side of the teleportation array has faded a little, at least until the last moment, he doesn't want to teleport there.

And the enhancement of illusion gives him the possibility of having a "new life".

The next morning, Song Yan said goodbye to Elder Kuye and left Nanwu Sword Sect.

A few days later.

Song Yan picked a bunch of the most beautiful flowers on the top of the mountain and placed them in front of the window of an old woman from the Wang family in Jianshuidu. The old woman was blind, but she could smell the fragrance of the flowers, so she fumbled to get up and called out the name of "Miss Xiaojiu".

Song Yan took over and claimed to be Xiaojiu's senior brother. Then he chatted with the old woman in the mortal world for a long time. He explained that the reason why Junior Sister Xiaojiu didn't come was that she was valued by the master, and she needed to practice swordsmanship hard, and then go to a distant place to kill demons. In the future, she will be busy with affairs and may not come again.

The old woman was stunned. She didn't know that Junior Sister Xiaojiu was a cultivator. At this time, she just grinned with a dry mouth with few teeth and said with a smile: "You should take good care of Xiaojiu. She is a good girl."

Song Yan smiled and said: "Of course."

Then he left a pill for recuperation and turned away.

In the evening, Song Yan appeared in a mortal gang in the suburbs of Jianshui City. After introducing himself as the senior brother of "Xiao Jiu", several children ran out and surrounded him, asking about the situation of "Sister Xiao Jiu".

Song Yan repeated the same rhetoric he had used to deal with the old woman, and then settled each child down, and then pulled out a little girl.

He looked at the little girl.

The little girl's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Junior Sister Xiao Jiu.

According to Junior Sister Xiao Jiu, this was her niece Tian Xiaoling.

Both of her parents were people in the martial arts world, but they died tragically in the fight against the invasion of the Puppet Sect. Before they died, her sister entrusted her daughter to her.

Because she needed to travel around, she entrusted her little niece to a familiar sect before leaving.

Tian Xiaoling had a mysterious root, and she also knew that her parents died because of fighting against bad guys.

Junior Sister Xiao Jiu originally planned to take her into Jianmen after this matter was over, but because she died, this original agreement could never be carried out.

Originally, Tian Xiaoling would always spend her life in expectation until one day she accidentally knew that her aunt had died, then she would give up and cry bitterly.

But the appearance of Song Yan changed everything.

Tian Xiaoling is a skinny little girl with two buns on her head. Perhaps because her parents died young, she is very serious and serious. She knows how to behave at a young age. She never asks too much when she shouldn't ask too much, and never says too much when she shouldn't. He said, silently following Song Yan along the way.

When they arrived at Guanwu Island, Song Yan lowered his sword, led her to a bamboo hut, and said to one of the female nuns: "Junior sister, this little girl is Xiao Jiu's niece. She has profound roots."

The female cultivator recognized Song Yan and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Bai, please give her to me. The test will take a month. If you are really qualified, you will be sent to Hongye Island where Senior Brother is to practice."

Song Yan nodded, then turned to look at the little girl and said, "Concentrate on your practice, perform well, and don't embarrass your aunt!"

Tian Xiaoling bit her lip, shook her head, and asked like an adult: "Uncle, where is my aunt?"

Song Yan looked into her eyes and said word by word: "She died in the battle."

Tian Xiaoling's pupils turned red visibly, and tears filled her eyes.

Song Yan glanced at the female cultivator.

The female nun said: "Brother, leave it to me."

Song Yan patted Tian Xiaoling on the shoulder, and then left with his sword.

But suddenly, he paused, because several figures were falling on the other side of Guanwu Island.

The leading woman was wearing a brocade dress, her dignified appearance was somewhat friendly, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with calmness and grandeur.

In Nanwu Jianmen, only high-level officials who have reached a certain level can wear whatever they want without being restricted to silver sword robes.

When the woman saw Song Yan, she nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "I have heard long ago that the master Ku Ye Sword Master is full of righteousness once he masters the sword. When I see him today, he is really good."

Song Yan came back to his senses, bowed slightly, and replied: "Xiuhu has met the seventh lady."

The person coming is Su Yao.

After not seeing her for a long time, she had completely transformed into something Song Yan was unfamiliar with.

The initial heroic spirit, then the murderous spirit, and then the cold air, all disappeared. Finally, at this moment, she had the temperament suitable for the status of a young lady.

Song Yan knew that the Su family had suffered heavy losses. Now Su Yao seemed to have finally made a change and was ready to slowly shoulder the responsibility of the family. Therefore, her actions and words were somewhat "elderly".

He couldn't help but look at the female cultivator behind Su Yao.

He could tell at a glance that the female cultivator was Cao Yuzhuang.

But when she saw a stranger, Cao Yuzhuang shrank nervously and retreated behind Su Yao.

Su Yao smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me. Yuzhuang fell into the Demon Sect before and suffered a lot of torture. She has not recovered yet."

Song Yan continued to look.

But just as his gaze lingered for a little longer, Cao Yuzhuang's fingers suddenly pressed on the long sword at her waist, and she looked at him fiercely.

Su Yao frowned and said, "Jade makeup!"

Cao Yuzhuang then released her fingers.

Su Yao sighed again: "This involves some past events, and Yuzhuang is extremely frightened just thinking about it, so she is very hostile to men, not just Taoist friends."

Song Yan:.

He found that his thinking was still too naive.

He thought that the small favor he had given was enough to settle a woman, but he never thought of how much suffering the woman had suffered and how many nightmares she had.

He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Qi, it's okay. I'm here today to bring my friends and juniors to test my qualifications, so I'll leave first."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, go slowly."

Song Yan clasped his fists again and left with his sword, landing again on the isolated island where Junior Sister Xiaojiu was buried.

Another evening, the sky was filled with sunset.

The ethereal sea waves are like scales, and the patches glow with a cool red color.

"Do you still have a wish?" Song Yan asked.

"No." Junior Sister Xiaojiu said, and then added softly, "I have no regrets."

Song Yan thought for a while and suddenly asked: "That day you said you were not beautiful and your face was disfigured, was it because you were already attracted to me at that time?"

Junior Sister Xiaojiu was silent for a long time and said calmly: "It was Senior Brother Bai who made me fall in love, but if it was Song Yan, I wouldn't be interested."

After that, she said: "Okay, now the master can ask me to be a cow or a horse. No matter what he wants me to do, I will not be unhappy at all."

Song Yan said: "Then what if I still let you make your own decision?"

Junior Sister Xiaojiu thought for a while and said, "After watching the sunset, leave this world."

Song Yan stood on the edge of the cliff, silently looking into the distance until the glow completely disappeared and the sky was completely dark. He held his palm slightly, and the stripes of the tiger sent a wisp of soul over.

"Goodbye, Senior Brother Bai, the sunset is so beautiful."

"goodbye."

The tiger stripes are loosened.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai."

Xiaojiu's soul lost its restraints, murmured the last sentence, then floated towards the sky, and quickly disappeared.

Until her death, she never said thank you to "Song Yan".

However, Song Yan didn't care, because now he was Bai Xiuhu.

Moreover, this Bai Xiuhu's "righteous score" was recognized by Junior Sister Xiaojiu.

This shows that he is already a true swordsman who has passed many tests.

Junior Sister Xiaojiu thanked Senior Brother Bai for Song Yan.
