Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 511: Forbidden City Peak
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
There are dozens of steps in front of the hall, neatly arranged from top to bottom, and below them are a pair of bronze turtles, a pair of bronze cranes, and 18 bronze tripods. The tripods are important national artifacts, and they are placed here, making them look more solemn and heavy.
When people stand below and look down, the eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony look like hooks that can even catch the moon.
This palace is so tall and majestic, as if it is standing in the distant clouds.
The roof of the hall is covered with golden glazed tiles, which looks like a golden world under the moonlight; but the "gold" here is not attractive, but rather a headache.
Because the glazed tiles are so smooth, if someone with poor martial arts skills stands on them, let alone fighting with swords, even standing steadily will be a big problem.
When Su Weiyun came up, there were already at least thirteen or fourteen people standing there.
Each of them had a ribbon of changing colors on their body, and they were dressed simply and wore human skin masks on their faces, so no one could recognize their identities.
However, when Su Weiyun came up, everyone looked at him.
It's not just because of his extraordinary martial arts skills, what's more eye-catching is his magical and beautiful wedding dress.
The four great masters of the imperial palace are also here.
Wei Ziyun, whom Yin Xian mentioned, was of course there too, but Su Weiyun did not look for him. Instead, she waved her arm, and the two ribbons tied on her wedding dress flew out into the air.
whoosh!
The two ribbons are like a pair of phoenixes, interweaving their brilliance in the air, flying back and forth, cutting butterflies and shadows, with almost the most beautiful colors, constantly changing various trajectories, and being extremely gorgeous.
Suddenly, a colorful ribbon flew to a man dressed in black who was standing still, and was tied around his wrist. In just a moment, it circled three times and threw him high into the air!
"Shen!"
The man wanted to use all his strength to force himself to sink, but unexpectedly, the small ribbon twisted out a strange force that made him swing in the air.
"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Su Weiyun didn't listen, but pulled the ribbon with his hand, intending to throw him down.
That person even shouted: "My fellow Taoists, this person is so arrogant, why don't you help me?"
The dozen or so people who came with him were actually together. At this moment, they all flew up. Some drew their swords and slashed at the ribbons, while others attacked Su Weiyun directly.
Su Weiyun remained calm in the face of danger. His clothes were blown up by the wind and his hands, covered with two colorful ribbons, danced wildly, pointing east and striking west, moving freely, mixing in sword techniques, knife techniques, whip techniques, and even stick techniques.
More than a dozen heroes from the martial arts world had come here with strong martial arts skills, but they couldn't even get close to Su Weiyun.
Finally, someone spoke to Wei Ziyun: "Commander Wei, this person is fighting on top of the Forbidden City and disrupting the decisive battle. Don't you want to do anything about it?"
Wei Ziyun was standing not far away and replied coldly: "I want to manage it too, but unfortunately I can't."
"Can't control it? Then wouldn't the strictness of the imperial palace become a joke?"
Bang!
A streamer flew over and suddenly wrapped up the sarcastic man, threw him down from the top of the Forbidden City, and he fell heavily to the ground. He immediately fell unconscious, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Wei Ziyun added: "Now you should know who is the joke."
As soon as these words were spoken, not many people dared to laugh at him anymore.
Wei Ziyun bowed deeply to Su Weiyun again and said, "Please accept the ribbon, Mr. Su."
Su Weiyun flicked lightly, and the two ribbons flew back like wind and clouds. The change was so wonderful, like a magic trick, full of mystery.
"Humph, I never thought that the dignified 'Xiaoxiang Swordsman' Wei Ziyun would resort to such flattery!"
The voice floated and swayed in the air , and for a moment, no one knew who made it.
Wei Ziyun didn't seem to want to pursue the matter any further, but said solemnly: "In front of the great hero Su Weiyun, I have to put aside the name of 'Xiaoxiang Swordsman'! If people in the martial arts world don't even know this, they'd better go home and farm early."
When they heard the three words "Su Weiyun", no one dared to speak.
The top of the Forbidden City suddenly became quiet, returning to the silence and loneliness of all the previous days.
There may be only one person in the world who can make Wei Ziyun, "the best master in the palace", willingly give up the title of "Xiaoxiang Swordsman".
This person is Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun was wearing a wedding dress, with a strange aura, but it didn't make people feel that it was so abrupt and weird. He said slowly: "I didn't expect that more than ten years later, there are still people who remember my Xiaoxiang Sword."
His Xiaoxiang sword was at his waist, on his left side.
There is another equally famous sword, hanging on the right side of the waist, which also shone brightly in the martial arts world - it is Bai Yujing's Changsheng Sword.
Wei Ziyun said slowly: "No matter how much time passes, the martial arts world will always remember this Xiaoxiang Sword!"
He retired from the martial arts world and entered the palace more than ten years ago. At that time, Su Weiyun was at the peak of his popularity. Of course, he could not forget this sword.
Su Weiyun stroked the "Eternal Life Sword" as if he remembered something, and finally asked, "Have Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng arrived?"
Wei Ziyun said, "We're here. Ximen Chuxue is recuperating in the Baohe Hall, while Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng is resting in the Ministry of Revenue's court room outside Longzong Gate."
Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng obviously received help from the imperial guards, which allowed them to enter the palace early and have a place to rest - why did these imperial guards help them?
——Because those who learn swordsmanship must be more eager than anyone else to see a battle between peerless swordsmen.
——It is just like when chess players learn that two national players are coming to play against them at their doorstep. They will never do something that would ruin the mood and drive them all away. Instead, they will clear all obstacles for them.
Wei Ziyun then quietly explained to Su Weiyun, "We have also placed bets, just like Master Su, we bet on Ximen Chuixue to win!"
He felt that it was an honor to place the same bet as Su Weiyun, so he had to tell this story.
Su Weiyun nodded slightly and looked around. She saw that everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was standing on the eaves on both sides, leaving the space in the middle empty.
Among them, Mu Dao Ren and Lao Shi Monk were prominently present. There was also a man who was looking around and was restless. He was probably the king of thieves, Sikong Zhaixing.
——They also had ribbons and entered the Taihe Gate.
There really is a traitor in the palace!
After Wei Ziyun greeted Su Weiyun, he had no time to investigate the matter of the traitor, but immediately transferred all the masters of the palace over here to prevent any accidents.
The moon is near zenith.
As he was speaking, the Lord of Baiyun City appeared .
He seemed to have come from the moon, his white clothes fluttering as if he was riding the wind. His lightness skill was so high that it was incredible and difficult to estimate.
Ximen Chuxue appeared almost at the same time as him and arrived at the top of the Forbidden City almost at the same time.
"It's been years since we last met. How are you?"
"Thanks for your help, I am lucky to be safe."
There was almost no one else in their eyes, they were just staring at each other.
Ye Gucheng said: "Very good."
He seemed to be short of breath when he spoke, as if he was seriously injured.
Ximen Chuixue turned a blind eye and raised the sword in his hand, saying: "This sword is the sharpest weapon in the world, the blade is three feet and seven inches long, and weighs seven pounds and thirteen ounces."
He suddenly drew out his sword, and the sword light was cold, like eternal ice, illuminating the bright moon in the sky.
Drawing the sword is one of the basic skills of a swordsman, and Ximen Chuxue's posture of drawing the sword is also the most advanced and cleanest.
Everyone was so absorbed in this scene that they did not notice that Su Weiyun, who was also at the top of the Forbidden City, had disappeared.
