The First Immortal of Swordsmanship

In the next few days, whenever dusk falls, a girl named Ali will bring food and herbs to the cave where Su Yi is.

In addition, she also brought an old animal robe for Su Yi.

According to Ali, this animal robe was left behind by his grandfather during his lifetime.

Occasionally, Ali would take out his animal skin scroll and pen and talk to Su Yi in writing.

But not much was talked about.

Su Yi only knew that this place was located at the foot of a mountain called "Nanman" and adjacent to the Xiaocang River.

The village in the distance is called Yunxi Village. There are about 600 people living in it. Most of the villagers are hunters and make a living by hunting and collecting herbs.

Ali's parents died when he was young, and he and his grandfather depended on each other.

Three years ago, his grandfather was unfortunately attacked by a herd of beasts while hunting in the mountains. When he was rescued, he was seriously injured and dying. He passed away not long after.

Ali was left alone.

However, according to Ali, she also has a sister.

It's just that when her sister was five years old, she was spotted by an immortal who happened to pass by Yunxi Cun. He wanted to accept her sister as his disciple and take her to the immortal gate to practice.

With the consent of Grandpa Ali, his sister left with the immortal, and since then she has completely lost contact with her.

It’s been ten years now.

When talking about this matter, Su Yi clearly noticed that Ali was in a very depressed and sad mood.

"Ali, why did you become mute?"

That evening, after Ali helped Su Yi apply medicine, Su Yi couldn't help but ask.

He had regained some strength and could barely sit up.

Ali's expression suddenly changed, as if he had been touched by the most taboo thing. He shook his head, turned around and left.

Su Yi was startled and thoughtful.

It seemed that Ali had been greatly stimulated by the fact that he had become mute, and that was why he reacted so violently.

"When I recover my cultivation, I will definitely help her cure her."

Su Yi secretly said.

Just when I was thinking about this, a sneer suddenly sounded from the distance of the cave: "Little mute, what are you doing here these days?"

Su Yi looked up.

He saw a tall man standing among the grass in the distance, with a cold and fierce face.

And Ali's slender figure was blocking the path of this burly man.

"You dare to stop me? Get out of the way!"

The burly man raised his hand and pushed Ali to the ground, "I want to see what shady things you little mute are doing!"

Ali got up and stood in the way again, babbling something with his face full of anger.

"roll!"

The burly man was impatient and slapped him.

Snapped!

A crisp slap sounded.

Ali was slapped and fell not far away. His face was red and swollen, and his eyes were full of tears.

But she still gritted her teeth, rushed over, hugged the burly man's legs tightly, and kept yelling.

But she was mute and couldn't speak a word.

The burly man smiled ferociously: "The more you act like this, the more it proves that there is something wrong in your heart! Get out of here!"

As he spoke, he grabbed A Li's hair and pulled it to one side.

Ali screamed in pain.

"Put her down, or I'll kill you."

A voice sounded.

In the cave, Su Yi stood up without knowing when and stood there, with a pair of deep eyes full of cold luster.

The burly man stiffened and then sneered: "How old are you, a little mute, that you dare to secretly raise a man outside!?"

A Li was gripped by his hair, and it hurt so much that he almost shed tears.

But at this time, she didn't care about this and shouted to Su Yi anxiously, as if urging Su Yi to leave quickly.

Su Yi walked straight towards this side.

He staggered, and every step he took seemed very difficult, and some wounds on his body that had not yet healed were quietly bleeding.

But he didn't care.

"Haha, little mute, is this the man you stole? He's covered in wounds and can't even walk, like a weak-footed chicken."

The burly man laughed, his face full of sarcasm.

Ali struggled violently.

But the burly man held her long hair tightly, giving her no chance to resist.

Su Yi's eyes became colder and colder.

When he was only ten feet away from the burly man, he raised his right arm and held it in the air.

A ray of divine soul power condensed like a sword and slashed through the air.

puff!

The burly man's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

Then, his body fell to the ground silently.

The body surface is intact, but its soul has long been obliterated!

Ali couldn't help but be stunned.

Su Yi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Under the skylight, his face was pale and transparent, and some wounds on his body were still bleeding, but his majestic figure standing there was like supporting Tianyu's backbone, giving people an unshakable feeling!

Ali's eyes were in a trance, as if he couldn't believe it.

A sudden sound of barking in the distance woke Ali up.

Her face changed greatly, she quickly got up and came to Su Yi, anxiously gesticulating with her hands and babbling something in her mouth.

"Do you want me to escape?"

Su Yi patted her shoulder gently and said warmly: "As long as I'm here, no matter who comes, they can't embarrass us."

Ali obviously didn't believe it and was about to do something.

A group of people were already rushing towards us from a distance.

These were obviously villagers from Yunxi Village, numbering more than ten people.

The leader is an old man in gray who is not angry and has no authority.

"Ali, what happened?"

"Who is this person?"

"Uncle Meng, Shi Kui is dead!"

"What! Dead?"

...Noisy sounds sounded. When they realized that the burly man was dead, the villagers were shocked and angry, and looked at the stranger Su Yi.

Ali seemed extremely nervous, but even so, he still blocked Su Yi with his delicate figure.

The leader of the old man in gray frowned, his eyes passed over Ali, looked at Su Yi, and said in a deep voice: "May I ask who you are and why you came to my Yunxi Village?"

Su Yi pointed to the body of the burly man in the distance and said, "I killed him."

The answer is not what was asked.

But such a response made the whole place fall silent.

The old man in gray twitched his eyelids and said, "Since Your Excellency is so frank, could it be that... there is another reason for this?"

Su Yi nodded and said, "Yes, he bullied Ali."

Everyone looked at each other.

How could this murderer talk about murder so lightly?

At this time, Ali suddenly took out the animal skin and pen and started writing in a hurry.

Then, she lifted up the animal skin and saw what was written on it: "Muramasa, Shi Kui was worried that I would reveal his secret, so he followed me here today. Then, Brother Su killed me in order to save me." he."

secret?

Su Yi was surprised.

Only then did I realize that the appearance of that burly man today was no accident!

"What's the secret? Ali, please don't spit on others!"

A lean man shouted, "As far as I know, Shi Kuike has never done anything wrong to you. Why do you want to help an outsider kill him? You are simply heartless!!"

Others were outraged, too.

The old man in gray clothes at the head is the village leader of Xiyun Village, named Meng Qi.

He looked at Ali and said, "Li, what else do you have to explain? As long as you tell the whole story clearly, if you are not at fault, I will uphold justice for you."

Ari was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and nodded.

She took a pen and wrote on the animal skin for a long time.

When he saw what Ali wrote, Su Yi frowned a little.

The secret is very simple. There was another mystery behind Grandpa Ali’s death that year!

Three years ago, Ali's grandfather went hunting in the mountains with three other villagers. On the way, Ali's grandfather discovered a precious medicinal herb "Xueyunhua".

Snow cloud flowers are very rare and can be exchanged for a lot of money.

Seeing this, the other three villagers became malicious and tried to take away Xueyunhua. However, Ali's grandfather refused, and a conflict broke out.

In the end, Grandpa Ali was seriously injured and was about to die before his eyes. As a last resort, he chose to hand over Xue Yunhua in exchange for his life.

In short, Grandpa Ali was not attacked by a herd of beasts, but was injured by three other villagers!

In order to keep silent, these three villagers forced Grandpa Ali to swear not to talk about the matter again, otherwise they would retaliate against his granddaughter Ali in the future.

Grandpa Ali agreed.

But what Grandpa Ali didn't expect was that not long after his death, the three villagers still attacked Ali, fearing that the matter would be exposed.

Using a poison called "Poison Star Grass", he tried to poison Ali to death.

Unexpectedly, Ali was lucky and swallowed some herbs to detoxify the poison in time, so he could survive.

It's just that he became mute.

In order to save his life, Ali endured the burden and did not publicize the matter, but pretended that nothing had happened. This gradually dispelled the wariness of the three villagers.

But these days, Ali often goes out at night and comes to take care of Su Yi, which attracts the attention of the three villagers!

So, just now, Shi Kui, one of the three villagers, followed him.

Then, everything just happened.

After understanding this, Su Yi understood why Ali didn't want to talk to him about the reason why he became mute, and for a moment, he felt pity in his heart.

It is really not easy for me to be persecuted to this extent at such a young age and to be able to tolerate this in order to survive.

The old man in gray, Meng Qi, and other villagers were stunned, obviously shocked by the "secret" written by Ali.

"This...is this true?"

Some people couldn't believe it.

"False! How could it be possible that Shi Kui killed Ali's grandfather?"

the lean man yelled.

Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, besides Shi Kui, the ones who went hunting with Ali's grandfather back then were you two, right?"

He glanced at the lean man and another middle-aged man with a mustache.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the place.

"You are slanderous! Uncle Meng, please don't be fooled by this little bitch!"

The lean man yelled angrily.

The middle-aged man also jumped and said angrily: "Yes, this Ali is clearly trying to frame and slander us! What does his grandfather's death have to do with us?"

Meng Qi looked at A Li, "A Li, do you have any evidence?"

Ali shook his head, looking sad.

If there is evidence, why does she have to endure it until today?

"Without evidence, it's just frame-up and slander!"

The lean man said angrily.

"Don't mention these useless things, Uncle Meng. That guy has already admitted that he killed Shi Kui! Can't we just let this matter go?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

Everyone else nodded subconsciously.

How Grandpa Ali died is still a mystery.

But now, what is certain is that it was the outsider who killed Shi Kui!

Meng Qi's expression was uncertain for a while, and he was obviously hesitant.

At this time, Su Yi suddenly asked: "Ah Li, are you sure that the murderers who murdered your grandfather are only the two of them?"

Ali nodded.

Su Yi said: "Okay, I'll take this opportunity to help you put an end to this feud."

Meng Qi's face changed slightly and he said, "What do you want to do?"

Su Yi ignored it.

He raised his hand a little.

boom!

The lean man fell to his knees on the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, with pain written all over his face and his body trembling.

Everyone was shocked and subconsciously stepped away, looking at this scene in disbelief. Could that guy with wounds all over his body be a powerful monk? ?

Su Yi stared at the lean man with deep eyes, and said softly: "Is Grandpa Ali's death related to you?"

The lean man's face was originally full of pain, his eyes suddenly became dull, and he subconsciously said: "Yes."

Everyone was horrified.

And Su Yi looked at the middle-aged man with a mustache.

The middle-aged man had already broken out in a cold sweat. When Su Yi looked over, he turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

But as soon as he opened his legs, his soul was shaken by a terrible force. His whole body went limp and he collapsed on the ground, trembling and in agony.

Su Yi asked: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

The middle-aged man's eyes also became dull, and he nodded subconsciously, "Yes."

All of a sudden, the whole place was silent.

Meng Qi sighed.

In front of a powerful monk, why evidence is needed?

Just use some tricks to make you bow your head and confess!

Ali's expression was complicated, half happy and half sad, and his delicate body was trembling slightly. It could be seen that the girl was very excited!

Su Yi flicked his finger.

Both the lean man and the middle-aged man lost consciousness and died silently.

Their souls have been obliterated!

After doing this, Su Yi asked warmly: "Ali, are you satisfied?"

Ali nodded hard and said yes.

Her narrow, clear red phoenix eyes were full of trance, as if she couldn't believe it all for a moment.

After a while, the girl remembered some sad past events, her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face.

Su Yi patted her shoulder gently, then looked at Meng Qi and others, and said, "I killed these three people. Who wants to avenge them now?"

The tone is flat.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada.

The villagers who had seen Su Yi's miraculous methods, but who only had a superficial grasp of some cultivation techniques, had long been frightened.

Meng Qi took a deep breath, bowed and apologized: "I was foolish before, please forgive me, senior!"

Su Yi said calmly: "To me, it is a trivial matter, but to Ali, it is an unbearable catastrophe. If you have any resentment, just come to me. Take it. Come down for a while and I’ll wait here.”

Meng Qi was shocked, shook his head quickly, and said in fear: "Senior, please calm down, I am just a common countryman, how can I dare to make the same mistake again and again? Don't worry, I will clear Ali's grievances when I get back!" "

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "You can go."

If it weren't for Ali, he wouldn't bother to argue with these people.

Meng Qi and others hurried away as if they were pardoned.

After watching their figures disappear, Su Yi said: "Ali."

Ali subconsciously raised his head: "Huh?"

Su Yi coughed dryly and said, "Help me."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt embarrassed.

But there is no way. Right now, he can only use a little power of the soul. This Taoist body is too seriously injured, and it is difficult to even walk...

Ali seemed to wake up suddenly, and quickly stepped forward to hold Su Yi's arm, and walked towards the cave.

It wasn't until he sat down on the soft weeds that Su Yi let out a long breath.

Ali stood up quietly and stood silently on one side, looking stunned.

After what happened just now, it obviously had a great impact on the girl's mind!

Su Yi thought for a while and suddenly asked: "A few days ago, when you decided to save me, didn't you worry that the person you saved would be a bad person?"

The girl is very kind.

But she is also very delicate and cautious.

It is impossible to easily trust an outsider who is covered in scars.

Hearing this, Ali seemed to have come to his senses, took out the animal skin and pen, and started writing quickly.

"My intuition tells me that Brother Su is not a bad person, and I was also betting at the time."

"bet?"

"Yes, I have always wanted to leave the village and find my sister to avenge my grandfather, but I have never been able to find the opportunity. Shi Kui and the others will not allow me to leave. But the appearance of Brother Su gave me a chance to turn around, so I Decided to take a gamble."

Ali wrote down his true thoughts, "At that time, I thought that even if Brother Su is a bad person, I saved Brother Su after all, and he would not harm me."

Su Yi nodded.

This is normal.

Kind people do not mean stupid people.

It is only reasonable for Ali to have such considerations.

Su Yi's eyes were meaningful and he said: "Li, maybe this is fate. From now on, I will not only let you speak again, but I will also help you realize your vision."

Ali was startled.

She still doesn't know yet how much weight Su Yi's words have at this time.

But after those long years, when she looked back on her life, what she could not forget the most was the time she took care of Su Yi in this cramped and narrow cave beside Xiyun Village.

And what Su Yi once said.

Every word and every sentence is like a mark in the heart, which remains fresh for a long time and will never be forgotten.

…

late at night.

Xiyun Village Muramasa Mengqi came to visit.

Moreover, he also brought with him a batch of elixirs, including more than ten kinds.

Each elixir is hidden in a wooden box.

The most precious among them is a seven-leaf blood poria.

When he saw this elixir, Ali couldn't help but be stunned.

As far as she knew, this seven-leaf blood poria was Muramasa's favorite, and it was treated as a family heirloom, and she was reluctant to take it out.

Meng Qi said respectfully: "Senior, these are my thoughts. I hope you will accept them."

Su Yi only glanced at the elixirs and said, "I killed three people in your village and I don't care about it anymore. Why did you send these elixirs in the middle of the night?"

Before Meng Qi could speak, Su Yi reminded: "I never like small talk or beating around the bush. What I want to hear is the truth."

Meng Qi's breath suffocated and he felt the pressure coming from his face!

His expression changed for a while, then he bowed and said: "Senior, I have a keen eye, so the little old man said it bluntly, in half a month, the 'Purple Cloud Sect' will send an envoy to come and accept the offerings to us, but recently this In the past year, the harvest in my Xiyun Village has not been good. Even if I emptied all my family resources, I’m afraid I won’t be able to produce the tribute that Ziyun Sect needs…”

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yi interrupted: "You want me to help?"

Meng Qi said quickly: "Senior is a monk. It would be great if we could communicate with the envoy of Ziyun Sect and exempt me from Xiyun Village's offerings this year."

Su Yi snorted and said, "What will happen if you can't hand over the offering?"

Meng Qi said bitterly: "It ranges from ransacking homes to punishing people. In the past, some villages near Nanman Mountain were directly destroyed because they could not pay tribute."

Su Yi nodded and understood.

This situation is very common in the spiritual world.

Each sect controls a territory and, like a local emperor, collects offerings from the forces distributed within its territory.

Yunxi Village is located at the foot of Nanman Mountain and belongs to the Ziyun Sect's sphere of influence. It needs to pay a certain amount of offerings to the Ziyun Sect every year.

Most of the offerings are treasures such as elixirs and ores.

After paying the tribute, you can get the protection of Ziyun Sect.

This is like burning incense and worshiping God.

Since you are worshiping God, of course you have to take out some incense money to express your sincerity.

"If you hadn't met me today, what would your Xiyun Village have done?"

Su Yi asked.

Meng Qi's heart tightened, and he said with a bleak expression: "In the recent period, I have been worried about this matter. I have trouble sleeping and eating. I have been thinking about it. I just want to bankrupt everything and try my best to meet the needs of Ziyun Sect."

Su Yi said: "I understand, is there anything else?"

This is already an eviction order.

Meng Qi wisely said nothing more, and only told Ali: "Girl, you must take good care of your senior. If you need anything, just tell me."

Then, he turned around and left.

Ali hesitated for a moment and wrote on the animal skin: "Brother Su, will you help Xiyun Village?"

Su Yi asked back: "If it were you, would you help?"

Ali wrote without hesitation: "Yes!"

Immediately, she continued to write on the animal skin: "In the past years, my grandfather and I have been taken care of by the villagers. According to my grandfather, when my sister left with the immortal, it was also thanks to the help of Uncle Meng. .”

Su Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me this. As long as you help me, I won't stand idly by."

Ali was stunned, his clear phoenix eyes glowed brightly, and he nodded with relief.

Next, she stepped forward and applied the medicine to Su Yi again, as gently and carefully as she did the past few days.

Until late at night, Ali fell asleep directly in the cave.

What happened today made her afraid to return to the village. Instead, she stayed with Su Yi, which made her feel most at ease.

Looking at the sleeping girl, Su Yi gently helped her cover the bear skin.

And he himself sat cross-legged, swallowed the elixirs sent by Meng Qi, and calmed down his whole body.

Outside the cave, there are stars and the night is hazy.

Occasionally, the roar of wild animals could be heard, adding to the stillness.

All this reminded Su Yi of the days when he was the son-in-law of the Wen family in Guangling City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There is no bloodshed and intrigue on the road to immortality.

There is a kind of tranquility that returns to the ordinary.

Just like the divine dragon in the sky, it can travel around the world and soar above the heavens.

Xiao Ke is dormant in the shadows, and the world doesn't know when he meets him!

Uh~ Aunt Su won't lie dormant for too long, and being injured doesn't affect her pretense~
