(The second update is delivered!)

"Alright, that's all that needs to be said, you guys come with me now and go to the sword vault to choose a sword. ”

Xiao Jihai waved his hand and took the lead.

The three disciples followed.

On the way, Zhang Jiangshan wanted to ask Liang Qiufeng about cracking the exercises several times, but he was afraid of muttering behind the elders, not conforming to the rules, and having a bad impression, so he had to endure it.

It didn't take long for him to come to the outside of the sword depot located behind the inner house.

This sword storehouse, carved out of a towering broken wall, hollowed out inside, opened up a world, and opened only one gate, which is very solid.

The person in charge of guarding the sword vault is an old man with crane hair and a childish face, although he is old, he still exudes a sharp momentum like a sword blade in his gestures.

Liang Qiufeng noticed that there were quite a few old people like this in the Sword Mansion, such as Qin Lao, such as the "Huang Lao" who was now guarding the Sword Warehouse. They are all masters of the older generation who are unable to break through because they have entered their twilight years, and they are willing to choose to be accompanied by loneliness in order to exert their residual heat, and loyally guard the wealth foundation of the Sword Mansion.

Don't look at them old, but they are all qidao-level martial artists, and fighting for their lives is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of heritage.

Entering the sword vault, the relationship is heavy, even if the elder is in person, he must also hold a special token, and he can only enter after verification.

At that moment, Xiao Jihai showed the token and explained the situation to Huang Lao.

Regarding the matter of letting the three disciples choose sword weapons, in fact, Zhang Xingkong had already issued an edict earlier, and now it was just a procedure.

Huang Lao's eyes narrowed, observing the three young disciples, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The cultivation is too low, and he will go to Taicheng on behalf of the sect, but he is afraid that he will return with the same halberd as the previous one. However, the reality is like this, with the current situation of the Sword Mansion, it is difficult to attract talented and good seedlings, and they have all been "robbed" by Tiandumen.

Without good seedlings, there will be no talent cultivated. Such a vicious cycle, the quagmire is deep.

I hope that this year's sect competition can make a beautiful comeback, which seems to be another extravagant hope......

After the procedure was completed, Huang Lao explained some precautions, then opened the door of the sword storehouse, signaling that Liang Qiufeng and the other three could go in and choose the sword weapon at will.

Xiao Jihai stayed outside, gossiping with Huang Lao.

"Jihai, how sure are you in this sect competition?"

Huang Lao directly called Xiao Jihai, obviously with a high seniority.

Xiao Jihai replied respectfully: "Not optimistic. ”

Huang Lao sighed and felt depressed: "If there is no big change, I'm afraid that after the competition, Tiandumen and other young people will make a big mistake." ”

Xiao Jihai nodded.

"Then come on, see who kills whom!"

When he said this, the momentum on Huang Lao's body changed, and he was full of a majesty that could not be offended.

But it was said that Liang Qiufeng and the other three people entered it, and when they looked at it, they were amazed.

The sword vault is not too large, but it is deep, forming a long, narrow extension. Leaning against the stone walls on either side, there are two long rows of wooden shelves, one of which is full of swords. A rough visual inspection of the number is at least in the thousands. Not only are swords on the wooden shelves, but there are also many swords stored on the ground and in the corners.

Most of these swords are sheathed. There are many kinds of scabbards, leather, wooden, iron, sèsè, and the patterns are too many to see, and some swords are directly naked, and the blades are either cold or dimly shining.

Looking at the mountains of sword weapons, Liang Qiufeng couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: when there was no sword in his hand, he felt very embarrassed, but when there were thousands of sword weapons in front of him, but only one was allowed to choose, he felt that he had no idea where to start, and he didn't know how to choose.

Over there, Gu Chengyang hesitated slightly, and immediately took a big step and began to choose, refusing to waste any time.

Zhang Jiangshan also rushed forward with bright eyes, as if what was placed in front of him was not a cold sword weapon, but his favorite food.

He turned around and saw that Liang Qiufeng hadn't moved, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Qiu Feng, don't choose a sword yet, there's not much time." You have to hurry up, if you pick a sword with the best mysteries, it will be developed. ”

Liang Qiufeng shrugged his shoulders, it was useless to think too much at the moment, it was better to take action. Also go up and start picking.

Tasting swords and choosing swords is a university question, and there are many details to pay attention to. From the materials used to the casters, from the heat to the sharpening, a comprehensive consideration is required to determine the grade of a sword.

Huang Lao, who guarded the sword warehouse, was himself a highly accomplished sword master, and the swords that came out of the library had to pass through his hands, and only after they were confirmed were issued to the hands of the relevant disciples. As for the sword in the zài sword library, the sword name is engraved on the sword at most, and the grade will not be specified.

This makes it difficult to choose a sword, and it is difficult for people who do not understand it to determine which sword is a good sword and which is an inferior sword on the surface. It can only be easily identified from the sharpness or shape. It's like pulling out the sword from the sheath, and the sword light goes straight to Xiao Han, etc., the blind man can see that this is a peerless sword.

It's a pity that these visions are at least possessed by king-level sword weapons, and secret weapons and mysterious weapons are at most "cold and shining".

There are thousands of swords in the sword inventory, and it is obviously unrealistic to take them out one by one when the selection time of an hour is required. The three of them had to seize the time as much as possible, look at a few more swords, and compare them more to determine the best one.

Seeing that the fat man Zhang's movements were extremely sensitive, he swished, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at several swords, and muttered, "This one doesn't work...... Neither will this one...... Well, this one looks good, keep it. ”

The meaning of keeping it is to hold it in your hand for the time being, and when you find a better one below, you can put it down and replace it with a better one.

This method may seem a bit clumsy, but it is very practical, and it will not cause you to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, and you will always have a good sword in your hand.

In contrast, Gu Chengyang is much more calm and sophisticated, and he is not in a hurry to pull out a sword to see, but looks at it very discerningly, and when he sees a similar sword, he stands still, draws his sword out of the sheath and looks carefully, and after reading it, he stretches out his five fingers and touches the blade of the sword, and the expression on his face is as if he is gently touching his beloved lover;

When Liang Qiufeng saw him like this, his heart moved: Good guy, you dare to appreciate swords, you are an expert!

Sword cultivation and sword learning is by no means blindly immersed in swordsmanship, and it is also necessary to learn swordsmanship. Some sword cultivators are also sword forgers.

Gu Chengyang actually learned swordsmanship, so when he chooses a sword in the sword library, I'm afraid he will choose the best sword weapon.

The advantages are too obvious.

Liang Qiufeng also wanted to learn swordsmanship, but the time he had been in the Sword Mansion was too short, and he was so busy that he didn't have enough free time to be distracted to learn, so he had to put it on hold. Now when I see Gu Chengyang, I can't help but feel a pang in my heart, I feel that I used to underestimate the practical xìng of swordsmanship, if I squeeze it ruthlessly, I can always take some time to understand this knowledge, so that I will not be at a loss today.

It's not that the blind man's eyes are black, but with the experience of using the sword, he can still roughly judge the advantages and disadvantages of the sword. The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, and there are many swords, and a sword is held in the hand, weighed and weighed, and you can know whether it is good or bad.

The problem is that there are so many swords in the arsenal, and the time is so short, you are not allowed to look at it slowly and methodically. With such progress, it is estimated that after looking at dozens of swords, the time will come.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Unless luck goes against the sky, during this period, he directly drew a high-level sword and hit it in one fell swoop.

I'm afraid this probability is like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

Zhang Jiangshan used this stupid method over there, and he obviously had much more experience than Liang Qiufeng, so he was very fast at looking at the sword. Under the same conditions, the probability of choosing a good sword will also be higher than that of Liang Qiufeng.

After looking at more than a dozen swords, but all of them were of the inferior grade in the secret weapon, Liang Qiufeng gave up this method, and felt that it was really necessary to think differently.

Temporarily cramming and stealing from Gu Chengyang?

This method is not impossible, although tasting swordsmanship is a profound knowledge, but at the entry level, it is not too difficult to learn some fur, and it may be helpful to taste low-level swords.

After thinking of this method, Liang Qiufeng began to observe Gu Chengyang's every move purposefully, paying more attention to every detail.

"Humph!"

Sensing his peeping, Gu Chengyang snorted coldly in displeasure, his eyes swept over, and he was very disdainful of Liang Qiufeng's stealing behavior.

Liang Qiufeng met a lot of such eyes in those unbearable years of wandering. When he is hungry, he looks at the food in the hands of others, and when he is cold, he wants to cower under the eaves to shield himself from the wind and rain, and the same is true for those who drive him away.

Full of condescending and disdainful gazes.

Like a blade engraved in the heart, you can never forget it.

Can't forget, and can't forget......

Qi and blood were churning, Liang Qiufeng clenched his fists, turned his head and took a step, and walked in the other direction of the sword storehouse: Don't rely on others, just rely on your own vision to choose a sword, don't believe that you will get nothing.

Three people, three directions, no more intersection.

The wooden frame that Liang Qiufeng chose, and the sword weapons were piled up, and he looked at them patiently. However, there was no surprise in the discovery, not a single mystery.

Time passed bit by bit, and there was no hourglass time in the sword vault, but it was clear that time was running out.

Liang Qiufeng was a little anxious, his movements quickened, and after reading the sword on the shelf, he began to rummage through the sword placed in the corner on the spot.

It's a pity that nothing has been found.

Disappointment, he prepared to look on the other side of the shelf.

"Huh!"

A sharp pain came, and when he looked down, he saw that his right index finger had been cut at some point, and blood flowed.

With his seventh-stage cultivation, his fingers were cut and he didn't know it, and he was bleeding for a while, and he didn't react until the pain came.

Liang Qiufeng's heart froze, and he hurriedly looked, only to see bloodstains, and the ground was connected into a red track. And at the trajectory, it is on the edge of an unsheathed sword.

This is...... (To be continued.) )
