Ren Qi and Zhao Qian walked forward together. Apart from the wave of fights between the same disciples yesterday, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
I don't know if he has killed all the people or if others are afraid of his power. Anyway, there is not even a bird in this huge forest.
After passing through the forest, a large lake suddenly opened up in front of us.
By this time it had been frozen for who knows how long, and it was so frozen that horses could almost run on it.
"This lake is probably called Jingxin Lake. I heard it from the locals at the foot of the mountain." Zhao Qian said.
"You have done enough intelligence work."
Ren Qi nodded, "Did they tell you how long it will take from here to the top of the mountain?"
"Then they didn't say anything, probably because not many people are interested in the top of the mountain."
Ren Qi laughed, "Or maybe it's just recently that so many irrelevant people have come."
He looked towards the lake. On the vast lake stood a pavilion that was a little higher than the ice.
Probably when there was water, this was a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
There was obviously a person standing there in the pavilion.
Zhao Qian's breathing became tense, and she felt that the man was a troublesome person at a glance, and he was extremely troublesome.
Ren Qi also had this intuition, but he still breathed steadily and just walked towards the Huxin Pavilion at the same pace as usual.
At this time, the two sides were two thousand steps away, and only a vague shadow could be seen in the pavilion.
Halfway through the journey, Ren Qi's eyes widened and he saw that the man was nine feet tall, almost as tall as himself. There was also a long package beside him, which seemed to be wrapped with a gun.
Zhao Qian also saw it, but she had been silent just now. Then she asked in a low voice: "Is this your acquaintance?"
"Why, am I so hated by others that all my acquaintances, friends, and brothers from all over the world are coming to hunt me down?"
Although Ren Qi smiled like this, as he got closer, he became more aware of who the person in the pavilion was.
Northland Spear Saint White Rust.
There are many spear masters in the world who can call themselves spear kings. Ren Qi has heard of many names and people.
For example, the spear king of the provincial capital, the spear king of the thirteen provinces, the spear king of the north, the spear king of the south sea, there are all kinds of them. However, there is only one person in Kyushu who can be called a saint and deserves this title, and that is the spear saint of the north, Bai Ruo.
He was tall and had white hair at a young age, so others always thought Bai Xi was his nickname, but this was his real name.
In the past, when the foreigners went straight up the canal to attack Jinmen, Ren Qi met him once.
At that time, Bai Xiu was standing outside the building, and Ren Qi and the guards were standing inside.
Even though the foreigners have arrived at their doorstep, everyone is almost only busy with their own affairs. Bai Xiu is chasing his enemies in the martial arts world, while Ren Qi is guarding the nobles in the court.
Everyone does his or her own thing.
No one cared about where the foreign artillery was pushed, nor did they care about the situation of the war.
At that time, Haihua House was still the number one restaurant in Tianjin, not a pile of ashes a few years later.
Ren Qi was inside the door, drawing his sword to confront Bai Xiu outside the door.
There is someone inside the door that Bai Xiu wants to kill, but there is also the general manager Diwei sitting inside the door, and he can't get in for a while.
The situation was tense, and both sides ran out of patience, until a cannon shot approached.
When the cannonball landed in a house not far away, Bai Xiu finally turned around and ran towards the dock to meet the foreigners.
Ren Qiyi's group also turned around, but it was to leave Jinmen and go south all the way to avoid the foreign attack.
That was their only face-to-face, but it made both sides understand each other's position clearly, and they never got together again for many years to come.
"I was only in my early twenties at that time. I became the commander-in-chief of the imperial court at that age. Thinking about it, I know how high-spirited I must be. I just felt that I was free to roam the world, so no one looked down on me."
"Including the Northland Spear Saint Bai Ru?"
"No, he's not."
Ren Qi shook his head, "I'm afraid he had already entered the synaesthesia realm at that time. I was not his enemy. It was only because Dewei was in charge and there were many experts assisting him that he did not act rashly.
So I remember him and just think about taking off his head one day.
But that was also the mood of a teenager. After more than ten years, he had long been forgotten. ”
"So, now is the reunion of old friends?"
"Old friends meet again?"
Ren Qi snorted coldly, "It should be a joy to meet old friends again, but I only find it troublesome, so this should be called a meeting between enemies."
While they were talking, they had closed the distance to Bai Xiu again, and finally there were only two hundred steps left.
Bai Xiu walked out of the pavilion and looked into Ren Qi's eyes.
Just like before, the years have not dimmed or numbed these eyes. Instead, they have made Bai Xi's heroic spirit more vigorous, just like the spear that has been polished by battles for many years, becoming more energetic and heroic.
Bai Xiu seems to be responding to the past, the last golden years of martial arts.
Ren Qi, however, only thinks about the present.
"Bai Xiu, you also took advantage of Xiandu to deal with me?"
"I am indeed here to deal with you, but there is no advantage in taking over the immortal capital."
The long package in Bai Xiu's hand was probably his Overlord Gun. He held it with one hand and pressed it against the ground.
"You are willing to do things that are not beneficial. You are either bored or your head is dizzy."
"Not everything requires benefits, Ren Qi."
Bai Xiu's face was quite disdainful, "I thought your temperament would have changed after betraying Yujing, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before, the same despicable and hateful thing."
"Do you know me well?"
Ren Qi sneered: "It stands to reason that we have only met once in Jinmen. There are three commanders present, as well as Diwei. You actually remember me?"
"Because your appearance has not changed much from the past."
Bai Xiu said lightly: "And you are the master of the six world's fast swords. When the golden caster made these six fast swords, he made them with the six virtues of a gentleman, hoping that they could be used by an upright swordsman. You make great achievements, but in the end it falls into your hands.
It really makes the sword covered in dust and shames all the swordsmen in the world! ”
Ren Qi scoffed at this statement.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Swords are just swords, tools for killing people. If they fall into the hands of a so-called gentleman, don't they need to be stained with blood? They are all the same. They are killing people. How come they get into the hands of some people? Nobility, but in some people’s hands it becomes corrupted?”
"Yet I have never seen anyone so depraved as you."
Bai Xiu also seemed to be angry, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly arched.
"Who in Yujing doesn't tremble after hearing your name, Ren Qi? You went to Jiangnan and killed people along the way. Which day did you not kill people, and which day didn't you destroy other people's families?
The imperial court asked you to capture ten White Lotus cultists, but you were able to capture hundreds of them. Even children no taller than the waist are White Lotus cultists.
The great hero Guo washed his hands in a golden basin and retreated from the world for a long time. As a result, you led the officers and soldiers to besiege Guojia Fort for three days and three nights, killing all his family members, old and young.
In my opinion, you are not being loyal to your duties, you are just having a hobby of killing people. ”
Zhao Qian's brows furrowed more and more as she listened, and she felt more and more grievances for Ren Qiming.
"They poured a lot of dirty water on you." "No."
Ren Qi shook his head, "Those are indeed all done by me."
Zhao Qian was silent, not knowing what to say, she just stood there awkwardly.
"Now that you know who I am, you'd better leave quickly."
Ren Qi glanced at her without any intention of blaming her.
"Not only good people will cause trouble in Xiandu, but also bad people will cause trouble in Xiandu. Those who kill evil people may not necessarily be good people, they may be more vicious people.
Bai Xiu didn't say anything wrong, and he didn't fabricate anything. I was even worse than what he said. If there are eighteen levels of hell, I will definitely be on the nineteenth level when I die. ”
"No wonder you are the number one criminal in Kyushu." Zhao Qian murmured.
"Of course."
Ren Qi just smiled, "It's not because of my strength, but because I am the most evil person in the world. Do you understand now?"
Bai Xiu couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand to Zhao Qian, "Girl, walk down the ridge. You can get down the mountain in two days. There is no point in wasting your youth with this villain.
Forget about what happened during this period, just think of it as a nightmare, and find a good family to marry. ”
Zhao Qian's eyes flickered, but she suddenly said: "Good people can't do it."
"What?"
Ren Qi and Bai Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.
However, Zhao Qian was not joking. She said seriously: "A good person will not help me take revenge. He will only block those who want to go to Xiandu like you, the Gun Saint.
It seems to have become a theorem that bad people will repay their money and good people will tolerate and give in. So I don't need good people, only bad people.
Because good people abide by the rules and will never betray these precepts and limitations in the world. Like you, they cannot be enemies of Xiandu, nor can they avenge me. ”
"Me neither." Ren Qi emphasized.
"I know."
Zhao Qian smiled and stepped aside, just waiting for Ren Qi.
In this way, Ren Qi and Bai Xiu understood her thoughts.
So the next step was just a duel between the two strong men.
White Rust is the myth of Bei Wulin and the benchmark for people in the world.
Moreover, he had entered the synaesthesia state many years ago, and Ren Qi did not dare to underestimate him.
He pulled out his two swords and assumed a mother-and-son sword stance, both attacking and defending.
Bai Xiu did not underestimate the enemy. He threw the package aside, and the silver-white spear appeared - Bai Xue Overlord.
Only the red tassel on the head of the gun is particularly eye-catching, making people jump with fear just looking at it.
Bai Xiu pressed the spear to the ground, with one end on the ice and the other under his chin.
This posture is a bit like the six-and-a-half-point stick in Wing Chun. It seems to be defensive, but in fact it hides murderous intent.
The spear is the king of weapons, and Bai Xiu is tall and has long arms, which makes this spearman look very dangerous.
There are very few people who use long weapons in the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, because whether it is killing people or protecting, long weapons are often difficult to use.
Therefore, the only experience Ren Qi had against spears, apart from fighting some people in the north, was a few fights with Lin Hu on Hong Kong Island.
The Cangzhou Spear in Lin Hu's hand was more than half the length of Bai Rui's Snow Overlord, and he already had the advantage in distance. However, in terms of power and stance, Bai Rui was much stronger.
This is not because Bai Xiu is a master with unpredictable strength, but because he has a soul in his body, an unpredictable energy.
I'm afraid Lin Hu probably also takes Bai Xiu as his idol, after all, they are all people who use spears.
The Northland Spear Saint Bai Ruo, he is the myth of the northern martial arts world, the mountain that the world's spearmen look up to.
Ren Qi confronted him, and a rare layer of goosebumps appeared on the back of his hands, because he was both excited and a little nervous.
Bai Xi took a deep breath and stared at the gun head.
At his level, he can "listen" to Ren Qi's movements using only his ears.
Therefore, he lowered his head, not only maintaining his concentration, but also accumulating momentum, just waiting for it to explode.
Of course Ren Qi knew, but he didn't plan to just wait for Bai Xi to attack.
Fencing is originally the art of meeting on a narrow road. Not using a sword is definitely not Ren Qi's style.
When a gust of cold wind blew across his face, making the hairs on his hair stand up slightly, Ren Qi slipped out on the ice and stabbed Bai Xi with a sword.
Bai Xiu flicked his wrist, and the gun head pressed against the ground immediately fired, shooting towards Ren Qi's face.
As fast as lightning, as moving as a swimming dragon, a pick and a thrust are just two movements, but they have changed several times in the process, causing several gunfire.
Ren Qi was delayed by the shot and couldn't help but take a step back to avoid the sharp edge.
Bai Xiu shook Bai Xue Bawang again, and stabbed Ren Qi in the shoulder with another spear.
Ren Qi blocked the spear with one sword, slipped at the same time, and used the other sword to reach Bai Ruo's middle path.
Seeing this, Bai Xiu used an extremely simple "sweep" in his marksmanship to deflect Ren Qi's sword.
At the same time, he brought the gun back, and a few more guns came out, killing each other with guns and killing each other.
Ren Qiyi couldn't get close for a while, holding two swords in his hands, waving, blocking, and circling.
After a few rounds, the two sides separated.
Bai Xiu was obviously a little surprised.
"Finally someone in Bei Wulin has entered the synesthesia realm again."
Immediately, he felt regretful again: "But I didn't expect it to be you, Ren Qi.
You covet glory and wealth, and if anyone pays you a hundred taels of silver, you will kill for him without hesitation.
How come you, a person who is only interested in profit, can step through the mysterious entrance and touch the three great secrets? ”
Ren Qi didn't care about the criticism in his words, and just said lightly: "Maybe it's because I have changed?"
"Have you changed? Is it possible for you to change for the better?"
Bai Xiu changed his posture. He took a step and arched his instep, swinging Bai Xue Overlord horizontally. He turned sideways and faced Ren Qi with his eyes fixed on him.
"Maybe I've become worse?"
Ren Qi sneered and slapped the remaining four swords on his back hard. The long swords of various colors were immediately inserted into the ice. Under the sun, they reflected the sunlight, and for a moment they shimmered with cold light and dazzling brilliance.
This dangerous weapon actually gives people a dazzling and intoxicating feeling.
Bai Xiu doesn't know if others have this understanding.
However, he did feel the special beauty from it.
The battle with Ren Qi made his already sluggish blood surge again. (End of chapter)
