Chapter 163: Sword Reincarnation (2-in-1)
Lao Gu was once the captain of the most powerful Wei military pawn among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
As an officer who stood out from the elite division of Wei Wushu, Lao Gu Rong had been a horse for half his life, and he had countless scars.
But he survived after all.
Lao Gu, who can climb out of the pile of dead, even if he is a martial arts master, he is confident that he will fight, although the possibility of defeat is relatively high, he is also very confident that he can die with the other party.
It's a pity that at the beginning, after a war and the fall of the Wei State, he also went to the army and became an old man who guarded the door, and this murderous kung fu was left behind.
Drinking two glasses of wine every day, looking at these young people full of vitality, he will always stroke the gray beard on his chin and sigh at the beauty of youth, and smile and smile will feel that he really lived in the belly of a dog in the first half of his life.
It's just that these days are too leisurely, and the sword reincarnation secret realm he guards is not necessarily ten years old, and no one will come in, and sometimes, he will inevitably feel a little bored.
Just today, Lao Gu, who was lying in the hammock and was blowing in the wind, suddenly turned over and said in surprise: "Finally someone!"
......
"Anyone?"
Li Bai stood in a corner of the mountain behind Jianfeng, in front of him was an unfathomable cliff, from which the sound of crying and complaining was constantly heard, and there was a crooked neck tree growing next to it, which was especially suitable for hanging people.
He looked back and forth, wondering if he had made a mistake.
Because he had only heard that this secret realm was here, but he had not seen it with his own eyes.
He thought about it for a long time, and his divine sense swept around and around, but he couldn't find the entrance to the secret realm, so he couldn't help but shout.
"Is anyone there?"
"Isn't the guardian of the Secret Realm?"
Lao Gu walked over the cliff in the dark - he really stepped into the air, not because his strength was extraordinary, but because it seemed to be real and illusory.
He held a candlestick in his hand, reflecting a faint smile on his face, like a ghost coming from the depths of hell in the darkening night.
He coughed, and just wanted to scare the student, when he saw a cold light flash, and the sharp blade was already across his neck.
He swallowed and coughed, "You just want to enter the secret realm?"
Li Bai put away his sword and squeezed out a not-so-good-looking smile: "Yes, senior." β
Lao Gu took a step to the crooked neck tree, stretched out his hand, and a piece of bark was peeled off without a trace, revealing a groove.
"Put your nameplate in. β
Li Bai put the nameplate in, and was about to speak, when he saw a strange smile on Lao Gu's face.
"That's it for the nameplate, you jump down first, it's the entrance to the secret realm. β
Lao Gu pointed to the abyssal road.
Li Bai nodded and jumped without hesitation.
Lao Gu looked at the rapidly becoming smaller figure, and couldn't help muttering: "The little guy is quite courageous." β
He rubbed his eyes, which were a little astringent, and then with great interest placed the candlestick on a stone next to the bark, the flickering light of the flickering light of the smooth bark.
This response is remarkable, and I think it is a leading figure in the first class of students. β
He laughed, and then sat down on the ground, intending to watch a grand film and television drama.
......
"Here?"
Li Bai opened his eyes in confusion, surrounded by a piece of yellow sand, a familiar desert scene, as for the distant horizon, the red sun hung high, which was very different from the moonlight just now.
This time, the first thing he did was to open the barrage, looking at the dense barrage, his mood was a little settled.
[Who is this!?]
[What about Xiaobai?]
[Hahaha, isn't this Xiaoxiaobai?]
[Was Xiaobai really so cute when he was a child!]
"It turned out that a real person had entered the dream. Li Bai nodded slightly, and then looked at himself.
"I'll go!"
Li Bai was shocked to find that he had actually become smaller, like a pocket doll, and his hands and feet had shrunk a lot.
He looked at himself carefully, there was a long sword full of notches hanging from his waist, the clothes on his body were also tattered, his lips were chapped, and his surging true yuan had long since disappeared.
He wasn't too frightened, and quickly calmed down, this sword reincarnation should be like this, but all this seemed too realistic, as if he was really going through a reincarnation and became another person.
Zhuang Zhou Mengdie...... This dream technique is really terrifying.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I have a sword, I can have the confidence to live in this dream. He steadied himself and said confidently.
However, the next moment he realized something extremely terrifying, he didn't even know how to use his sword at all, as if he had returned to a few months ago when he was an ordinary person.
Although I still know how to release skills through the system, I just copy them......
And he doesn't have a true yuan at the moment, which means that it is impossible to release his skills even if he is rigid-he has become a mortal through and through!
Secret outside the borders
Lao Gu took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and said with a smile: "In this first life, the little guy is not lucky, look at this posture, in this life, he doesn't even have the slightest talent in kendo." β
"Also, this bullshit secret realm is a big pit, whoever comes is unlucky. β
ββββββ
It took Li Bai a long time to finally get out of this Gobi, not because he had discerned the direction, but because he met a group of caravanserais, and the hostess of the caravan kindly took him in as a handyman.
Since then, he has begun his ordinary and legendary life.
He has traveled north and south with the merchants, encountered rogues, encountered officers and soldiers, done black and black deeds, and assassinated competitors...... From the time he was about twenty years old, when he saw bloodβto the age of forty, he made a great name, and he killed many people under his sword.
It's just that everyone thinks that he is not using a sword, but more like a vulgar blacksmith, using his innate divine power, using the sword as a piece of iron, and knocking people hard.......
In this long life, Li Bai gradually became at a loss.
His memory was still deep, so he knew he should practice swordsmanship.
But this life...... His kendo talent is almost negative, Mo said that compared to the Qinglian boss, he is worse than the original him, and he doesn't know how many hundred streets, so his swordsmanship has never been called swordsmanship.
Although it can still be used to kill people, at most it can only hurt the existence below the Grandmaster Realm.
Fortunately, for Li Bai in the past, there are countless powerhouses in the Grandmaster Realm in his world, but for the current Li Bai, those grandmasters only exist in the legendary world, and they are clearly distinguished from these mortals, and occasional contact is just a fleeting pass.
Although he once existed in that world, now, he obviously couldn't reach that level, and only then would he sincerely feel a sense of happiness.
If it weren't for the fact that he had the system, if it weren't for his own kendo talent, it wouldn't be bad...... Maybe he may not have the opportunity to reach the top in this life.
The scene in the sky may not be very beautiful, and it may even be a little chilly from the heights, but for the people below, if you don't go up to see it, you will eventually feel longing......
Time flies, like a white horse.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the fortieth winter after his reincarnation.
On this day, he was forty-eight years old, his spine was still straight, his body was still strong, but his hair was graying.
He stood in the small courtyard, the snowflakes were fluttering, covered in silver, stepping on the thick snow, he could make a creaking sound, and in this weather, I don't know how many people in the city will freeze to death.
Fortunately, none of this has anything to do with him.
To mortals, he had achieved fame, and he had thirty percent of the caravan and became a wealthy local outsider, and the former hostess of the caravan was now an old lady on crutches and his wife.
They were thought to be a couple, but only the mistress knew that they were mere companions who lived together, and he never touched a finger of her when she was still charming.
She even thought that Li Bai was a man with no normal needs, until one day she accidentally broke into his room and saw the tent propped up by his lower body, and the majestic work made her blush.
It's a pity that the gentleman hid his weapon with him, but he never moved it.
Looking at the slightly lonely figure of the other party, the hostess warmed a pot of wine and waited for the other party silently......
There is money, there is a house, there are women....... In the eyes of others, this should be a very enviable life, but Li Bai gradually felt a trace of loneliness in this long life.
In this life, even if all people and all scenes are indistinguishable from reality.
But he still felt that he was out of place here, like a bird in the water, and although he turned into a fish, he still thought that his world should be above the blue sky.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent of kendo.
Snow piled up, layer upon layer.
He suddenly thought of something, and the emotions of longing brewed in his eyes, gentle as water, and the hostess, who had been accustomed to seeing him decisively for decades, looked at the figure in surprise.
It's like you've never known him.
"When, when will this wood have this kind of look?"
I saw the other party squatting down, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and then piled it up next to him.
Handful after handful - he actually built a snowman.
"Brother Li, what are you...... What's wrong?" wondered the hostess.
Li Bai didn't look back, just shook his head, signaled her not to disturb him, and then pulled out the sword in his sheath with a sonorous sound.
The sword in the sheath is clear, this sword is called Ganlu, it was forged by a famous craftsman, but unfortunately it is a failure, the blade is very blunt, and the weight is too heavy and heavy, no swordsman will choose this kind of sword as a weapon - and he is not a swordsman.
Sword after sword......
The snowman gradually appeared in a clearer silhouette, and it was vaguely visible that it was a woman...... The hostess's expression was slightly bitter, and she murmured, "I've been waiting for you for thirty spring and autumn years......
Sometimes, countless days and nights of waiting are not enough to catch a glimpse.
Li Bai didn't look back, as if he was enchanted, sword after sword, at first he dropped the sword like flying, there was no jerkiness of the sword at all, as if he had suddenly received an enlightenment, and his mouth suddenly opened.
Gradually, however, his speed slowed down.
So, until the snowman melted, it was not half finished after all, but judging from the finished part alone, the hostess also knew very well that this woman must have been a peerless beauty.
"But so what!"
"Time is like a knife, face and white bones, have you not even seen through these things at our age?" thought to the hostess with some bitterness, and rarely had a trace of unconfidence in her own appearance, even the one she once had.
Another ten years have passed, and he is still unknown, but his spine is no longer as straight as before.
He's old.
His arms had become flabby, his hair had turned completely white, and Li Bai had been thinking about it every year, wielding that heavy iron sword while he still had the strength.
And every winter, he would complete a snowman and then carve her into silhouette with his own hands, starting with a large sword carved with petal scales.
It is an extremely rare flower in the Western Regions, often rooted in the harshest arid soils, and will use this weapon...... It should be from the Western Regions, right? Or the Great Wall people of Broken Leaves.
The hostess still remembered that when they first met, it was in the Western Regions, and at her best years, she had not been able to meet the man she had loved all her life before that woman.
Every time I think about it, it's really a little bitter......
Later, when the outline gradually became clear, and she could vaguely see the flying look and confident smile, she couldn't help but be amazed.
And this motivation is fifty spring and autumn.
Gradually, the hostess also saw it.
She would warm a jug of wine for him, and hand him a wood carving and an ice cube made of nitrate, so that he could connect with the carving on days when there was no snow or ice.
And Li Bai also put all his hard work into this boring and hard repetition day and night.
Until one day, in the snowstorm, he smiled at her: "This time, I will definitely be able to do it." β
Under the other party's gentle and folded smile, he stepped into the courtyard, and the sword light flew in a flash, although the figure was not convinced by agility, his sword became faster and faster, until it was impermeable.
The snow sculpture quickly took shape, holding a great sword, wearing leather armor, a cape for hunting, and a high crown and tied up its hair.
Everything is formed, everything is clearly visible...... Only that face, he stopped, and in the end he didn't drop the sword.
He staggered into the house, closed the door in agony, and did not come out for three days.
Three days later, the emaciated man walked out of the door, met the woman's worried gaze, and said sadly, "I have forgotten what she looks like......
The figure that was clear to every detail in the original memory became blurry at that moment......
Oh, yes!
Fifty years later, his memory has begun to fade.
He's not a cultivator anymore, he's not even a serious martial artist, he's just a mortal, and the root of all terror starts with forgetting.
Outside the door, there was a faint sound, followed by a terrifying aura that suddenly exploded.
The gate was suddenly shattered, and more than ten black-clothed men rushed in, and leading them was another owner of the chamber of commerce where Li Bai was located, called Dai Chun, who held forty percent of the dry shares.
The small business trip back then has now grown into a very considerable wealth, and the wealth is moving, in fact, both of them have expected this day.
"You two old creatures have lived enough!" said the man, "kill them, get the deed, and make it clean." β
His expression was a little gloomy, in order to make everything leakless, he invited a martial arts master to assassinate all the guards in this mansion silently, and the price was obviously not small!
The woman didn't exclaim, and her expression was even a little calm.
She walked over and took the man's big cold hand with a determined expression.
And the man finally turned his head and looked at each other, as if he had seen this face clearly for the first time in decades, and his emotions gradually became bitter: "So you ...... It's already so old. β
"Kill the two old things who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Dai Chun said fiercely.
More than ten figures suddenly broke through the wind and snow and swept in.
However, what they ushered in was a simple but firm iron sword, which seemed to block all their room to rush in, like a cow to be relieved.
The next moment, blood stained the snow red.
