Chapter 9: The Sword Master's Trial
The next day, when Su Su didn't show up when he set off on the road, Xu Heng Tieqing's face made Jian Chen hold back a smile and didn't ask more, and Pu Feng was tight-lipped, and it was impossible for him to say anything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In this eerie silence, the three of them set out on their way to the Ten Thousand Swords Villa.
Out of the Broken Cloud City, ride a horse along the official road to the north, abandon the horse at the foot of Lingmen Mountain to climb the mountain, turn to the east halfway up the mountain, pass through the passage between Lingmen Mountain and Anchi Mountain, and then go down the mountain, down to the flat plain between the mountains, that is, Wanjian Villa.
Halfway through the hour, the sky was bright, and the three of them set off and galloped for nearly an hour to the foot of Lingmen Mountain. At this time, the sun had just risen, and the three of them abandoned their horses to climb the mountain, and at noon, they just arrived at the mountainside of Lingmen Mountain.
At this time, there was already a mountain post station and plank road built by Wanjian Villa, and the three of them took the plank road to the mountain passage between Lingmen Mountain and Anchi Mountain after eating and resting for a while at the post station.
Half an hour's journey. The scenery along the way is magnificent, and the steps are terrifying.
The plank road is built on the cliff on the side of the mountain, it is said to be a plank road, but in fact it is only thousands of thick iron steps inserted into the mountain wall, and the intervals between them are different, some can be reached, some need to jump, and even the most exaggerated spacing is nearly one zhang, the mountain wind is fierce, and ordinary people are still unstable standing on it, let alone walking.
Standing in front of the plank road, Xu Heng glanced down at the Baizhang Void below, turned his head and sympathized with Jian Chen: "This is the road you take every time you go out and go home?"
"I can jump back and forth on this road at the age of ten," Jianchen jumped up, stepped on the first step, and walked back several steps in a row with his hands behind his back, showing his familiarity with this dangerous road, "but when I grow up, I don't walk much, because there are many times when there is an emergency." A generation of Juque sword masters used the Juque Sword to dig a passage under the mountains before becoming the sword master, and then through the tireless efforts of the previous generations of Juque Sword Masters, the passage between the mountains has been spacious enough to run horses. β
"And this dangerous road is the journey that the first generation of Xuanyuan Sword Masters experienced to find a suitable place to smelt swords, and after the establishment of Wanjian Villa, it has become a trial road for all generations of sword masters. β
"Senior Brother Pu, if you want to become the new sword master, this is a hurdle that you have to cross. Jianchen Zhengse said to Pu Feng, the new Wufeng Sword Master nodded in silence, and hugged his fist at Xu Heng, "Xu Shaoxia, it's about the Sword Master's trial, and I'm one step ahead of you." β
Receiving the promise, the young man jumped up, stepped on the mountain plank road, and took the lead in overtaking.
Jian Chen watched Pu Feng's figure go away, turned his head and smiled at Xu Heng and said, "Brother Xu, you have followed Senior Brother Pu to get naked, and ordinary people are not qualified to take this road." β
"Fortunately, my martial arts have improved a little in the past three months, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to walk this road. Xu Heng stepped forward and stepped on the same steps with Jianchen, "His eyes swept over the magnificent scenery of Lingmen Mountain, the sky was high and the earth was wide, and the gloomy mood dissipated a little. β
Jianchen stood on the spot and thought about it, pulled out a sharp sword from his waist, and handed it to Xu Heng: "This is the Tianqian Gentleman's Sword, Brother Xu, you can hold it, and if you accidentally make a mistake, you can insert it into the mountain wall to stabilize your body." Jian Chen pointed out to him the scattered sword holes on the rock wall, of different sizes and widths, "In fact, the reason why the sword master became the sword master is because the sword has a spirit to choose its own master, not that if you can walk this road, you will definitely become a sword master." β
For his friend's kindness, Xu Heng did not shirk, he didn't care much about whether he had the posture of a sword master, and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make a mistake. Retracted his gaze, but saw something interesting: "This, why did someone insert a sword in the first step?" Xu Heng looked at the sword hole close to him and said with a smile.
Jian Chen shook his shoulders and said helplessly: "There will always be sword masters who are afraid of heights. β
Jianchen's answer made Xu Heng can't help it, the more he laughs, the more he wants to laugh, and finally it develops into a series of laughs, Xu Heng holds the gentleman's sword in his hand, and walks forward, the haze between his eyebrows is swept away as he takes step by step.
The ruler is short, the inch is long, even if it is the sword master who is a hero in the sword, there are places that he can't take into account, and he can't deal with a woman, which is not too embarrassing.
Last night's defeat is a thing of the past, and everything has to be looked forward. Drunkenness doesn't solve problems, anger doesn't solve problems, and depression doesn't solve problems. There is only a way to solve the problem.
Su Su, or Jade Shura, was a problem he could never solve. The existence of such a problem makes Xu Heng very uncomfortable, so he is so disappointed in the face of the frustration she gave, but once he takes this problem as a reality, it is not so unacceptable.
Now that you have determined that you can't deal with it, let this unsolvable factor have the least impact. According to this line of thought, Xu Heng walked through the steps while thinking about his attitude towards Su Su in the future.
For the future bet, Xu Heng must win. It was impossible for him to put his life in the hands of anyone else. If you win the bet, you will get twenty years of that woman's time, and how to make good use of it is a very important question.
Things happen for a reason, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect. The appearance of this incident made Xu Heng finalize his future in this half an hour, and at the same time, he placed Su Su in his life as a part of his life.
Just walked like this, and walked leisurely on the cableway in mid-air, and Jian Chen followed with a smile in the back, listening to Xu Heng's words that occasionally popped up all the way.
When he walked out of the plank road and stepped on the solid mountain steps, Xu Heng came back to his senses and came to a conclusion that could startle him: "The best solution is to make her fall in love with me, I will marry her, and it is best to have a few more children, so that she will be attached to me and my family." Only in this way, taking into account the feelings for me and the factors of my children, can I get through these 20 years in peace!"
Although this was the best plan that he had personally deduced, Xu Heng still felt incredible. Shaking his head and putting that scary thought behind him for the time being, he walked around Pu Feng and looked towards the mountain passage.
Jianchen followed Xu Heng out of the plank road, patted his head with his hand after stepping on the stone steps, trying to pat the overheard words out of his other ear; Pu Feng sat on the upper stone steps and meditated with his eyes closed, looking at his nose and nose, as if he was unaware of everything around him.
Xu Heng, who had been looking around for a long time, turned around and said to Jianchen: "This is the last part of the journey? Could it be that it was also opened up by the first generation of Xuanyuan Sword Master, which is a bit strange." β
Hearing this, Pu Feng opened his eyes and listened carefully. He had arrived a moment earlier, and before he sat down to wait for the two of them, he had also inspected the cave, and was equally interested in it.
The passage is indeed strange, except for the steps that connect the mountain boardwalk, the rest of the place is simply not human. The passage is nearly one zhang high, but only two people wide, the foothold is neat and flat, the upper tip is as thin as a blade, the inner wall is smooth as jade, the stroke is cold, there is no torch inside, it is pitch black, and the color of the inner wall can not be seen clearly.
If this is a mountain passage carved out by hammer chiseling, or hot and cold water, it is understandable. But this peculiar shape and smooth inner wall are really not the methods that Xu Heng can imagine.
"Ah, this place is called Kenkong Rock Road. Jianchen was very familiar with this place, and naturally knew where the other party's question was, he did not answer Xu Heng's question, but pointed to the Tianqian Gentleman's Sword in Xu Heng's hand: "Brother Xu probed the Tianqian Sword to try." β
Xu Heng acted according to his words, as soon as the blue-and-white gentleman's sword entered the sword hole rock road, a piece of light appeared in it, illuminating a distance of several feet, and at the same time, Xu Heng felt the great attraction from the rock walls on the left and right, and almost lost his sword in an instant, he concentrated on controlling the sword instead of retreating, holding the sword with both hands and stepping into the cave, trying to control the gentleman's sword from the suction on three sides, and adjusting the position and direction of the sword little by little, and finally finding a balanced position with three forces.
Jianchen pulled out another saber from his waist and walked into the Jiankong Rock Road, in a yellowish light, he walked behind Xu Heng: "Brother Xu, have you found it?"
"Yes, there are quite a few," Xu Heng looked at the blue and white light around him and the earthy yellow light around Jianchen, "Different swords, the light emitted is different," Jianchen nodded, this is an obvious point, Xu Heng let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the gentleman's sword stayed in the air without moving, "The rock wall of this passage has a magnetic force, which is not only intricate, but also very strong. β
"Well, yes, one more point," Jian Chen walked to Xu Heng's side, reached out to take back the gentleman's sword, and inserted the sword in both hands into the scabbard on his waist at the same time, and the blue and white and earthy yellow fused into pure white light, "Once the sword is sucked by the rock wall, it will never be taken out again." β
"Senior Brother Pu Feng, how to go through this passage, do you hear clearly?"
Jian Chen asked loudly, Pu Feng whispered outside the passage, and then the young man walked in with his sword unsheathed, and a black light darker than darkness appeared.
The black light was so thick that Pu Feng couldn't see his figure buried in it, Xu Heng frowned and asked, "Pu Feng, are you okay?"
"Brother Xie Xu cares, Pu Feng is fine. Pu Feng's answer came from it, his voice was steady, and it didn't seem to be anything, "Just like the light drawn from Senior Brother Jianchen's sword, I don't feel uncomfortable in the black light of the bladeless heavy sword, and I can see the surrounding road clearly." β
Jian Chen nodded, turned sideways to make way for Pu Feng, and followed behind the black light side by side with Xu Heng, explaining as he walked: "This Sword Hole Rock Road is indeed not the work of the Xuanyuan Sword Master, and there are different opinions about its origin. The most unreliable one is that in the place where the sword is buried in the mountains, before the completion of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, a peerless sword was born in it, and it flew out of the sky on the day the sword was completed, and this passage is the sword hole left when it passed through the mountain wall. β
"What about the most reliable?" Jian Chen was a little surprised not to hear the ridicule, Xu Heng has always stayed away from these myths and legends, and sensing his abnormality, Xu Heng added, "You don't know, it's been three months, and I have experienced some things in southern Xinjiang, which has made me have a great change in this kind of myths and legends." β
This is the second time that my friend mentioned his trip to Southern Xinjiang today, and that one also followed Xu Heng after he came out of the difficulty, Jianchen's eyes flashed, and he continued: "The most reliable rumor is that one day many years ago, a sword-shaped meteorite came from outside the sky and smashed through the wall of Lingmen Mountain into the mountains, creating a place where the sword was buried. And a generation of Xuanyuan Sword Master tracked the meteorite to find the place where the sword was buried, and after that, he established the Ten Thousand Swords Villa. β
The road to the opening of Ten Thousand Swords Villa was slowly explained by Jian Chen, and it was understated, as if it was just an ordinary thing.
Pu Feng was silent as always, the black light was stable, and there was no danger, while Xu Heng exhaled lightly: "This sounds the most real. However, there are two rumors that there are swords, could it be that there is a connection between them? Could it be related to the shape of this sword hole?" Xu Heng looked around his body, stepped on the ground again, and found the difference between his feet and the surroundings, "This ground was laid up in the later stage of Wanjian Villa?"
The light comes from the rock wall around him, and the flat ground under his feet has no light, nor is it all the jade slippery feel of the rock wall, and even the rough surface can be seen in some places.
"Yes, at the beginning, this passage was completely in the shape of an erected sword blade, and with the powerful suction power everywhere around, it was completely difficult to walk, so the second and third generations of Xuanyuan Sword Masters together filled the ravine under their feet with broken sword sand, which could barely be used by pedestrians," Jian Chen said this, and his words turned to Pu Feng, "Pu Feng, listen well, this is why you must guard the sword in your hand and not let him be attached to the rock wall." β
"Under the repeated temptations of one generation and two generations, the suction of the rock wall is only aimed at the sword mined and smelted in the place where the sword is buried, and once it is missed, the sword will be firmly sucked by the rock wall, and it can no longer be taken down. β
"Senior Brother Xie Jianchen reminds, I, I have seen ......" Pu Feng's footsteps stopped, and a muffled voice came from the front, and there was a hint of shock in it.
"You should have seen it, it's the Fire Spirit Sword," Jian Chen looked at the black light in front of him with some concern, and said slowly, "And the three generations of Fire Spirit Sword Masters." β
"Fire Spirit Sword Master?"
Is the sword master also here? Xu Heng was puzzled, but he was quickly answered, Pu Feng paused for a moment and then let out the scene, and the scene that the former saw appeared in front of Xu Heng's eyes.
I saw that on the left side of the front, there was a sword hilt that sank into the rock wall, and on it, there was a skeleton curled up in a ball, holding the sword hilt with all its strength. In the light of white light, the skeleton was delicate. I tried my best but still couldn't get back my beloved sword, and I couldn't bear to leave, so I chose to die with the sword, and the feeling of tragedy and tragedy shocked my heart.
"Three generations of fire spirit sword masters, after discovering that they couldn't get the sword back no matter what, they didn't eat or drink, accompanied the sword for ten years, and died with the sword. β
Jianchen's words were emotionless, but they shocked the hearts of the three young knights very strongly, and the three of them were silent for a long time, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted, respecting this senior's love for the sword and becoming obsessed, and respecting this senior's determination to die.
After the salute, the three of them returned to the road, but the atmosphere was heavier, but it was for the seniors to be tragic and the sword was difficult.
There was no time in the cave, so he walked for nearly two miles, looking at the hundreds of swords of different lengths that were swallowed up on the rock wall, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the black light brought by Pu Feng's bladeless heavy sword disappeared. Forward, the narrow rock wall abruptly stopped, became incomparably wide, nearly ten zhang of the horizontal narrow open space like a sword grid, no light and bright, the four walls are crystal clear, among which there are scattered scattered growth of rocks like swords, exposing the ground.
"Here, it's like the gauntlet of a sword!" Xu Heng walked to Pu Feng's side, stood side by side, looking at the wonders of the world-conquering creation in front of him, and was amazed, "Jianchen, from here, it seems that the rumors of the birth of the divine sword in the mountains are not groundless." β
"But even so, that rumor is still very ridiculous, if there really is a divine sword conceived in such a direction, then when the divine sword flies out of the sky, it will already be a horizontal passage? After refuting Xu Heng, Jian Chen stepped forward and said to Pu Feng, "This is the last level of the Sword Master's trial, as long as you pass here, you will be the Sword Pavilion." β
"I wonder what's the mystery of this place?"
"I don't ask about internal strength, I don't ask about moves, I don't ask about martial arts," Jian Chen pointed to his heart, "I just ask if you have a sword heart that is unswerving and consistent on the outside and inside." β
Pu Feng nodded, just like the previous levels, and took a step forward without hesitation.
The light and shadow reflected, and for a while, there were young figures on the rock wall, and the bladeless sword master who had always been brave stopped this time, and stopped in place after taking a step, his eyes looked firmly ahead, and his expression did not change at all, and the whole person seemed to have been immobilized, and stopped in place.
"What happened to him?" Xu Heng was a little curious, looking at Jian Chen beside him, who shook his head, "The sword I will master in the future is the Xuanyuan Sword, so I haven't really gone through this sword heart trial, I only know that the stronger the heart of the sword, the higher the fit with the sword, the easier the sword heart trial, and the more benefits you will get after passing the trial." β
"Don't worry, Pu Feng will be fine, it is precisely because it is the heavy sword hanging in the Sword Pavilion that I brought the sword out to deliver the sword. Let's go to the Sword Pavilion first and wait for Pu Feng to come out. β
The two of them really couldn't help by staying here, they walked past Pu Feng, who was still standing, and walked out of this trial road through the circular passage on the opposite rock wall.
An hour later, Pu Feng appeared at the top of the Sword Pavilion with a calm expression, not panting or blushing, and he couldn't see the hard work of walking out of the sword heart trial, or the joy of being completely recognized by the heavy sword Wufeng.
Seeing Pu Feng walking out of the Sword Pavilion safely, Jianchen Xu Heng, who was drinking tea, stood up at the same time, pinched the sword finger in front of him with his right hand, bowed his head slightly and bent down: "Congratulations to Senior Brother (Pu Feng) for passing the sword master trial, gaining the approval of the bladeless heavy sword, and finally becoming the bladeless sword master!"
