Chapter Twenty-Six: The Trial of the Sword and the Cutting Mountain
King Xuning rode his horse and galloped on the way to Cutting Blade Mountain, when he suddenly saw a carriage on the road ahead, and with the situation at this moment, he couldn't help but be suspicious of it, and he chased it with all his might, and forced the carriage to stop in front of him.

It was the Feng family sister and brother who were driving, both of them were practicing kung fu with heavy external skills, and their temper couldn't help but be irritable, seeing his behavior, they were almost about to scold, but the person in front of him did not hide his strength at all, every move, the deterrence was exhausted, the sister and brother saw his cleverness, and knew that there was a big gap between the strengths, not to mention that following Canghui for many years, the temperament was reined in, and he still listened patiently to the speaker.
"Who are you?" asked King Xuning.
"Who are you, and why are you stopping us?" asked Feng Saburo, his tone as calm as possible to avoid any hostility that could cause additional trouble. Feng Erniang inadvertently looked into the car, and this small movement did not escape the eyes of King Xuning.
Ignoring the two sisters and brothers who were driving, King Xuning pointed directly to the car and asked, "Who is in the car?"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near behind the carriage, and then the desecrated jackals and Xiao Mianxiang and their respective horses were far less relaxed than the king of Xuning.
"It turned out to be the prince, and Canghui was far away. Cang Hui opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, although he was still wearing a mask at this time, he did not deliberately wear a white body, but wore an ordinary cloth robe, he had a stiff back, and his posture was long, and he looked only different from ordinary old people in that mask.
King Xuning could clearly see that there was another person in the car, but he didn't ask much if it was Canghui's insider, so he asked Xiang Canghui: "Oh, where is Cang Daxia going?"
Cang replied: "Cang is old and frail, and he is really unwilling to lie down between the beds all day long, so he is going away with his family, wanting to find a secluded place away from strife in the mountains of the western realm to accommodate my old bones!"
King Xuning was speechless for a while, and there were many questions but he didn't know how to raise them, and the Blasphemous Jackal and Xiao Mian Township both saw his embarrassment, and the Blasphemous Jackal had a dislike with Zhongzhou Wulin, and he didn't want to provoke Canghui. Xiao Mianxiang also saw the embarrassment of the desecrated jackal, and he smiled: "The old man is an official of the imperial court, can there be a 'beggar bone' in this retreat?" Although he said it to Canghui, when it came to the back, the smiling face was towards King Xuning.
"Naturally, there is. Cang Hui said, he returned to the car, found something and came out again, "Shangzhi's edict is here, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he presented the things he had taken out to King Xuning with both hands.
King Xuning was unspeakably embarrassed, his incomprehension of officialdom and court had been completely exposed to a person he felt more and more that he was not an irrelevant character. He pondered for a moment and asked, "You set off before the sword duel, so why did you delay on the road for so long?"
Feng Saburo hurriedly replied: "My lord is unwell and can't withstand the bumps, so he walks slower." β
King Xuning nodded, as if he agreed with this answer.
Cang Hui asked, "What about the prince, how could the prince appear here?"
What happened in the sword duel of King Xuning, the scene in Zhongzhou at this moment, and the changes in the palace, 1510 informed Canghui, "...... I'm now rushing to the headquarters of the Sword Alliance in Cutting Blade Mountain, where the flying pigeon has sent a message saying that the world's first sword has been completed, and asks me to go and guide me as soon as possible to do the next step. As he spoke, he looked at Cang Hui and waited for Cang Hui's reply, but saw that Cang Hui and his entourage had an unusual feeling about this matter.
He ...... How could he!" Cang Hui said bitterly: "I can't imagine that he is carefree all day long, but he has never let go of hatred in his heart!"
"So do you recognize An Qiuliang?" asked King Xuning.
Canghui couldn't help himself with grief, and Feng Erniang replied for him: "When the An family was shattered and destroyed, it was my lord who protected him and his siblings. Later, the fifteen heroes saw that An Qiuliang, who was still a young child, was very murderous, so they handed over to my master to raise and guide him on his behalf, and took his siblings to train him to be his father's successors. β
"So...... He also has a sibling, does he know that such a person exists?" said King Xu Ning in surprise.
Feng Erniang continued: "Naturally, we won't hide it from him. But before, he had never left our sights too far, and there must not have been much contact with his sisters, and that girl had received a chivalrous order, and was among the third-rate fifteen heroes with my lord, and her character was naturally recognized by all chivalrous warriors, and she would never instigate her brothers to unite demons and evil spirits to take revenge on the country and martial arts. β
"Erniang!San Lang!" Cang Hui suddenly called the Feng family sisters and brothers.
The two sisters and brothers responded in unison: "Master!"
Cang Hui ordered: "You two set off immediately, be sure to bring him back! Don't let him cause any other trouble and create more evil!"
Feng Saburo was embarrassed and said, "But...... Sir! He didn't know where he was going to go! Where did you tell us to look!"
"Don't worry," said King Xuning, "from the information in my control, he did not ******** escape from Shengping and run to Anlu, where he still has a lot of unfinished business. And you should know where to look. King Xuning turned his horse's head and galloped away from Canghui's carriage, and the desecrated jackal and Xiao Mian Township followed. Cang Hui said to the Feng family sisters and brothers for a long time before persuading the two of them to put their hearts down and go to An Qiuliang, although the two were worried about Cang Hui, they also knew that although Cang Hui was much weaker at this time, his strength was still not comparable to the two of them.
The two siblings quickly left behind the carriage, Cang Hui drove the carriage, but walked faster than the two siblings drove, he obviously withstood the bumps more than others thought, even so, the three horses of the king of Xuning quickly disappeared on the road ahead. The sound of urging the horse became more and more frequent, as he and his wife became more and more lonely on the road, and he felt that some crisis was approaching.
The facts presented to him were that it was not a crisis that came to him, but he bumped into it himself. This time, it was the black mask that blocked the horse, he was not alone, there were many more people around him who seemed to be in prisonβat least Canghui had seen such a dress in prison.
They flocked to the carriage, and Canghui knew that these were just minions, weaklings that could be defeated at will. But as long as the black mask is here, he will be terrified, he will not be able to hold his own Canghui slash, and he will not be able to show the majesty of his saint, even if behind him is the person he wants to protect the most.
"Moon Spirit...... I'm sorry, I'm ......."
......
The dullness before the rain made Qi Wuwei's mood more comfortable after the rain, and he took Yusheng's rocking chair, sat on it comfortably and smoked the heart refining leaves, and watched the scenery outside the mountain. Yusheng had patiently persuaded him that when he was in the rocking chair, he should hold a book in his hand to be elegant enough. He truthfully said that he was born different from ordinary people, a pair of big hands can not practice martial arts, from the text, although he can read thousands of words, but can not write half a word, holding the book in his arms, just like the sage who has just vented his desires but was teased as powerless, using vulgar words, only to be shocked that the "Puyu" far away from him.
The fact is that in addition to discussing his own situation, this passage was learned from Jing Shuiyi. Although Qi Wuwei himself is unkempt, he can be regarded as clean and self-conscious, if he is devoted to one person, he will not have any thoughts about other members of the opposite sex, let alone teach Jing Shui to indulge himself, go in and out of Flower Street Willow Lane, and get acquainted with a group of mistresses.
The word "if" can be removed immediately, this person is real, even if the refining heart leaf turns into smoke through his nose, he always thinks about the figure and name of that person, and the lovesickness for that person runs through every one of his arduous and boring journeys, every insurmountable goal, as the driving force to support his persistence, but the role is stronger than every responsibility he bears, and every emotion that concerns him.
He exhaled a puff of cigarette, which seemed to turn into a word "desire" in front of him.
"Unrighteous Qi Wuwei......" He looked at the smoke, squinted and laughed at himself, "When is it?
Then he heard something like footsteps or the whip whipped "Bang!" coming up from the bottom of the hill, and it was from the steps of the climb that he jumped up from his rocking chair and stood at the front of the steps, waiting for the owner of the voice.
The man finally appeared around the corner, a small but flexible figure, stepping up four or five steps in one step, but it was not "skillful" let alone "light", he was rough and unrestrained, so that he could make such a strong sound.
Qi Wuwei was stunned, it may be a kind of penance to spare himself in this way, and he will ignore the ease of that person's mountaineering, and exclaim, "Fool!", but when the figure got closer, it was smaller than looking at it from a distance, which shocked Qi Wuwei speechless.
Running up and standing in front of him was a dark-skinned boy of four or five years old, shirtless, with his hands on his hips, unable to breathe steadily, and asked him, "Who are you? I have never seen you." β
Qi Wuwei didn't say a word, squatted down on the spot, and reached out to grasp the child's leg. Is this a human leg? Is this flesh and blood? I can't tell whether this is more like a stone or more like metal, in a trance, Qi Wuwei couldn't listen to the child's words, "What are you doing?" "Are you sick?" The child jerked his foot and kicked him in the face, and the medicinal effect of the heart refining leaf was wiped out after this kick. Under the heavy blow, Qi Wuwei was dizzy and slowly fell asleep.
......
King Xuning stopped his horse and took a long cloth bag from his horse, which appeared to be the sword pouch in which he carried his sword.
"Ahh Qi Case enthusiastically took King Xuning's arm and said, "Please come in, please come in!" The person behind him responded and made a way.
King Xuning said to Qi Case: "There are two more people behind me who will arrive, leave a few people to receive them." β
Qi Case nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!"
The headquarters of the Sword Alliance is in this Cutting Blade Mountain. That is to say, there is only one "shell" left in this mountain, and the inside of it is hollowed out, which is where the people of the Sword Alliance gather for meetings.
King Xuning entered the middle of this and was surprised by two things:
First, according to common sense, how closed should the belly of the mountain be, but when King Xuning entered, he only felt as if he was in the woods after the rain, even if he was hanging high on the surrounding stone walls, as if he was planted with torches for lighting rather than living plants.
The second is that everyone in the Sword Alliance went out to greet them, and the place was made for King Xuning to see the layout of the interior, which was surprisingly open and surprisingly clean. There were no ups and downs on a flat piece of land, and there were no furnishings on it, he could imagine that standing up or sitting down here was so casual, and Qi would not be looked up to because of his status as the leader of the alliance. This kind of "martial arts relationship" that is different from the norm gives him a sense of novelty, and it also makes him have to accept that as a prince, he can only have the right to speak here by force.
King Xuning said: "After receiving your letter, I can't wait to see the appearance of the world's first sword!" He said calmly, but his heart was also a little excited, he had long heard that Xuanyuan Meteor was superb, but he didn't expect that this was also reflected in the name of Xuanyuan Meteor himself, the word "meteor" is enough to describe how quickly he completed a work.
Qi didn't speak, just thinking about looking in the crowd, as far as he could see, irrelevant people retreated on both sides, and finally left Xia Yiping alone, Xia Yiping was holding a giant sword in his arms, his face was flat, and when he took steps towards King Xuning, it was slightly unnatural.
Xia Yiping raised the sword with both hands, solemnly as if he was performing some ceremony, and everyone in the sword alliance felt how majestic the sword was, as if if King Xuning himself was not present, they would rush up and kill Xia Yiping designated by King Xuning on the spot, and then start a big battle for the sword.
But the words of praise became more and more absurd, and Qi case, Sui Yusheng and other famous people all felt that it was mixed with a strong sense of flattery for those who participated in the formulation of this plan.
In the eyes of King Xuning, this sword is indeed a good sword, a good sword that may surpass the sword in his hand, but for him who stands in the sword world with a blind posture, there is no way to express his surprise with an exaggerated demeanor.
"Do you like this sword?" asked King Xuning.
Xia Yiping stared intently at King Xuning's eyes, pulled out the sword with a movement in his hand, and held the hilt of the giant sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing down to the ground. During the whole movement, his eyes did not touch the giant sword, but as the giant sword was drawn, it became extremely firm.
"Of course I like it, after Xuanyuan Meteor knew that you wanted me to take this sword, he asked me to be by his side while he was forging the sword, and tell him what the sword would look like. Xia Yiping was still staring at him.
King Xuning smiled, "He's not afraid that you'll mess up?"
Xia Yiping greeted him with a smile, "He expects me to mess up and make a fool of myself." β
"Then is he in this crowd? Why don't you make a fool of him by announcing the whole thing and his intentions?" asked King Xuning.
"He can't come. Xia Yiping said: "When he was young, he lost a bet with someone, and his legs were cast in the casting chamber by molten iron, and he could only stand two steps away in front of his own casting furnace all his life. β
"Heh......" King Xuning took out the sword from the sword bag, and when everyone saw it, they could only try their best not to show contempt on their faces. Compared with Xia Yiping's, this sword doesn't need to think much to understand that it is useless, because no matter the material or shape, it only works in the direction of luxury and luxury, and does not care whether this sword is usable.
"Isn't this a sword that will make a mess ugly?" Xia Yiping looked at him calmly and said.
"Hah!" King Xuning smiled, "Indeed......! Let's try the sword!" waved the sword out of the sheath, he seemed to put on a posture of preparing for war, Sui Yusheng and Qi were so shocked that they couldn't speak, they had never seen any situation that forced King Xuning to be so solemn. The desecrated jackal and Xiao Mian Township have also arrived, and when they saw this scene, even the desecrated jackal was stunned.
Xia Yiping still didn't move, firstly, he was definitely weaker than King Xuning, and secondly, King Xuning had already put on a posture, and he would never dare to move. King Xuning's offensive attacked, but Xia Yiping didn't look at him, but only focused his eyes on the ground two steps in front of him. The sword of the king of Xuning had arrived, and Xia Yiping seemed to calmly block the stab with the body of the giant sword, but in order to deal with that stab, he had already injected the strength of his whole body, and he still had to take another half step back to digest the momentum of that stab.
King Xuning's offensive continued to attack, although it was still just a temptation, but it was fast and slow, elusive, and although everyone was far away, they could still see his cleverness. But on the other hand, Xia Yiping's "swordsmanship" is even stranger than that of King Xuning, the giant sword is used in his hand to resist the attack, it is much more flexible than everyone thinks, after the sword is raised, he almost never touches the hilt of the sword again, and a giant sword is almost used by him as a gun halberd and a club. smashed and chopped, and resisted the strange attack of King Xuning.
Qi Case looked at Sui Yusheng, "No wonder he wants to arrange the sword like this, but this sword move, is it your friend?"
Sui Yusheng replied: "I naturally don't use a sword like this, he worships me as a teacher, just because he is the only one in the world who practices this set of swordsmanship, if he has some doubts, someone must come to help him guide and answer." β
King Xuning and Xia Yiping seem to have a tacit understanding in the dark, both of them seem to know the strangeness of their opponents' moves, and they are both paying tribute to their opponents with even more strange moves. Xia Yiping knew in his heart, all this was just a wordless arrangement of King Xuning, he just followed the guidance of other people's moves to achieve such a harmonious situation, but his rebellious and careful thinking was still abandoned, he still would not give up any chance of victory, even if it seemed very impossible.
"Ha!" Xia Yiping seemed to have found that opportunity, the giant sword that swung between his two hands, the hilt of the sword naturally reached his left hand, and ordinary people used the sword with his right hand, but he held the sword with his left hand, and his right hand suddenly turned his back to his back. He wielded a giant sword in his left hand, and launched a vigorous and resolute offensive against the king of Xuning, and everyone saw this, and they all sweated for him, not for his courage, but for the immutable truth of "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear".
Xia Yiping's eyes were not on King Xuning, but when his sword fell into the air, he was already a little panicked, and finally couldn't help but glance at King Xuning. At this glance, he immediately misjudged the situation by deviating from the original intention of the sword move, and he found the figure of King Xuning, completely confused, swinging the sword faster, and more disorganized, just because he felt that King Xuning's dodging posture was very "embarrassing", which was a manifestation when he was at a disadvantage. When he felt that he had forced King Xuning into a desperate situation, the giant sword in his hand confidently came out of his hand, but was avoided by a casual and small movement of King Xuning, and the giant sword carried all the remaining strength of Xia Yiping and pierced deeply into the stone wall a few feet away behind King Xuning.
"Heh......" let out a long breath, Xia Yiping sweated like rain, his strength had been exhausted, and he sat on the ground. At this time, he realized that King Xuning's sword had been sandwiched between the armpits of his left arm, and King Xuning looked "embarrassed" when he dodged, just so as not to hurt him. As soon as this thought passed through his mind, he became more and more sober as he exhausted himself.
"Did you gain anything from the short fight?" asked King Xuning, who didn't seem to have spent much effort at all.
Almost everyone can answer for Xia Yiping, no matter how simple the harvest is, if this sword wants to have a place in the rivers and lakes, it still depends on the ability of the sword owner! After all, with everyone's vision, if King Xuning calls himself the number one swordsman in the world and calls his sword the first sword in the world, who would dare to object?
But Xia Yiping replied: "There are three harvests. Everyone was puzzled and had to listen to them continue to talk.
King Xuning said, "Not bad!" He held his sword and slapped his face, "You remember these three tricks, when you turn around and encounter An Qiuliang, even if you can't win, it will be enough to save your life!"
"But!" Qi Xuan shouted: "Although the day for the completion of this sword is short, I don't know if An Qiuliang has already gone away!
"Oh?" King Xuning asked in the face of Qi's case, "Then what does the Qi Alliance leader think is An Qiuliang's purpose, has it been achieved?"
Qi couldn't answer, "This ......"
"I don't believe that a child of this age has any scheming, he is just being used by demons and monsters to take revenge!" "King Xu Ning said, not only to Qi the case, but also to everyone in the Sword Alliance who had the obligation to participate in this matter, "Otherwise, he should have gone to Anlu to enjoy the treatment of the country's grace." However, the information I have is that not only did he not leave, but he is taking revenge on the participants who persecuted the An family in the first place, and although the heads and heirs of the major families who are qualified for the sword duel died, he is not satisfied, and he will patiently find them one by one, and use the sword of the Kunpeng Thunder Emperor and the ability of the demon to pour out his past grievances one by one......
Xia Yiping gritted his teeth and said: "I will defeat him and destroy his arrogance together!"
"Then ......," the king of Xuning asked him, "the sword is yours, but can you name it?"
Xia Yiping looked at him and said firmly: "In the future, the sword will be in the people! This sword is me, and I will live for this sword!"
"So, is it called 'Xia Yiping Sword'?" King Xu Ning laughed, "Hahahaha...... I heard that Canghui's knife is called 'Canghui Chop', I don't know if there is really a concept of 'sword in people', or if it simply doesn't know how to name it!" He didn't know when he had put the sword into the sheath and put it into the sword bag. Without looking back, he said as he walked: "I brought a good horse of Xuning, but it is not named after me!
He walked out of the Cutting Blade Mountain, and the Blasphemous Jackal and Xiao Mian Xiang followed.
