Chapter Seventy-Two: The Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate
Nangong Shangqing and the three Fang brothers and sisters finished their lunch, and everyone was full of praise for this old man's cooking skills, although they were all some small farm dishes, but no matter the color or taste, they were just right, and they were really endless.
Nangong Shangqing was holding a crude black pottery cup and was drinking a light and fragrant tea. Fang Lanfeng couldn't wait to run to Nangong Shang Qing's side and asked, "Brother Shang Qing, can you continue to answer the question just now? Why do you say that the Fang Clan's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords and the Nangong Clan's True Martial Seven Swords are also first-class swordsmanship? And doesn't the Kyushu Continent say that the Nangong Clan's True Martial Seven Swords are top-notch swordsmanship?"
Nangong Shangqing said with a smile: "Because I have been practicing these two swordsmanship at the same time since I was a child, the relationship with them can be regarded as intimate, basically I have been cultivating every day, and I have been understanding for more than 20 years!"
Fang Lanfeng was surprised: "Wow, that Brother Shangqing's swordsmanship must be very powerful!"
Fang Qingsong interjected and added: "Brother Shang Qing has been cultivating diligently since he was a child, and his kendo talent is extremely high, so he should be the most talented in the Nangong family in recent generations. β
Nangong Shangqing waved his hand and said calmly: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm just a little stronger than ordinary people, and my perception of swords is more sensitive, and I'm definitely not a person with extremely high talent, and the way of cultivation, no matter what your talent is, diligence is the foundation of everything." Only the accumulation of time can make people transform!"
He paused and continued: "Let's go back to the sword technique, the Fang Clan's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords are definitely much stronger than the ordinary second-rate sword techniques, but it has a premise, you must have an epiphany of the fourteenth sword other than the Divine Gate Thirteen Swords, it is the soul of the entire Divine Gate Thirteen Swords, and the previous thirteen swords are just a foundation, they exist for this fourteenth sword." β
Fang Lanfeng asked with a little confusion: "But the fourteenth sword of the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate only exists by rumors, and even our Fang family has no one to understand it, and now few people believe in its existence, everyone thinks that this is just a boasted fourteenth sword, and it is completely illusory." Every time I hear someone say that, I get angry!
Fang Weilan said with an embarrassed face: "Lan Feng, don't say that, in the final analysis, we have no successor to the Fang clan, and if we lose all the skills of our ancestors, it will make others laugh at us, we just keep improving ourselves, don't care too much about these gossips!"
Nangong Shangqing smiled and replied: "What Wei Lan said is that you don't have to care about these gossips, the road of the sword or the road of cultivation, if you go to the back and completely rely on your own comprehension, you will only become more and more lonely, there is no one else to share, and no one else can understand, so there is a sentence, above the way of the sword, it is difficult to have a confidant in the sky." β
After saying this, Nangong Shangqing's whole person fell into a state of distraction, and for a moment, he completely lost himself.
Fang Lanfeng didn't care at all, and replied directly: "I've heard of this, because that's what Uncle Fang Jianluo said, he has been addicted to kendo all his life, just to comprehend the fourteenth sword of the thirteen swords of the Divine Gate, but before he can comprehend it, he died in the hands of the demon beasts of the Demon Domain!
When Fang Qingsong heard this, he was a little sad all of a sudden, after all, Fang Jianluo was his father, as a son, he was away all the year round, and rarely went home to fulfill his filial piety, and Fang Jianluo had the impression that he was a sword idiot since he was a child, completely addicted to swordsmanship, and didn't care about other things at all, so he rarely had the opportunity to talk to his father, the relationship between father and son was originally relatively weak, until he learned that Fang Jianluo died tragically in the hands of the demon beast in the Demon Domain, he understood the taste of blood thicker than water, the pain of the heart like a knife, he always had chagrin in his heartγ
Nangong Shangqing came back to his senses and continued: "Your grandfather once comprehended the fourteenth sword of the thirteen swords of the Divine Gate, but he should not have fully comprehended it, he just touched the shadow of the fourteenth sword, but unfortunately he passed away too early. β
Fang Weilan took the words and asked: "How do you know about this? I heard my father mention this matter, but my father is not sure that it is the fourteenth sword, but unfortunately my grandfather passed away too early, I was only a few years old at that time, and I was completely ignorant. β
Fang Lanfeng asked in surprise, "Is it?Big brother, why didn't I know about this!"
Fang Weilan patted her forehead and smiled: "You are so playful, you have not practiced swords hard since you were a child, how could your father tell you this, he spoils you so much, he doesn't put this heavy responsibility on you at all." β
Fang Lanfeng shook her head and said with a playful smile: "Hmph! I don't have it, I'm more attentive than you, brother!"
Nangong Shangqing looked at the intimacy of their brother and sister, and suddenly missed his second brother Nangong Junyi, and he didn't know how they were all the way, whether they arrived in Yuzhou Xiacheng, and thought about it, anyway, I will also arrive in Yuzhou Xiacheng in a few days, and it will be good to get together again.
He continued: "This incident was when your grandfather came to the Nangong family to compete, and it happened that I was just sensible, passing by the place where the sword was competing, and I happened to see them competing, your grandfather used this trick and defeated my grandfather, at that time that scene completely shocked me, and I was very impressed, from that moment on, I had a very strong interest in the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate, and then pleaded with my father for a long time, and he taught me the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate, but I still haven't comprehended the fourteenth sword yet!"
Fang Lanfeng smiled and nodded: "It turns out that Brother Shang Qing, you have seen this fourteenth sword at such a young age! How old were you at that time, how could you remember such a sword move? It's so powerful!"
Fang Weilan and Fang Qingsong were also surprised, after all, Nangong Shangqing was only a few years older than them, I was afraid that he was just sensible at that time, and he could actually remember the sword moves, at that age, they only knew the most basic moves, and they couldn't understand those advanced and complex sword moves at all.
Nangong Shangqing said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, because I still admired my grandfather since I was a child, and I was unhappy to see him defeated at that moment, but the fourteenth sword of the thirteen swords of the Divine Gate is amazingly powerful, so I have to admire, the person who created this sword move is definitely a first-class swordsman!"
Fang Lanfeng laughed and said, "That's it, our Fang family's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords are very powerful! It's definitely not a second-rate swordsmanship! Hmph!"
Nangong Shangqing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate are definitely first-class swordsmanship, surpassing most of the swordsmanship in the Kyushu Continent!"
