Chapter 6: Swords Are Not Swords

What is a sword? A sword belongs to the "short soldier". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is known as the "king of a hundred soldiers". A sword made of metal, elongated, pointed at the front, with a short handle at the back and blades on both sides. The sword, called the holy product of the ancients, is supreme and noble, supreme and highest, the reverence of man and the respect of God. It is the ancestor of short soldiers, a sharp weapon of close combat, which can be intercepted, sharpened, and stabbed, with profound Taoist art, with a long history, and then entered the legend of Xuanbing. In fact, because it is lightweight, wearable, and agile, it makes it swift, kills the enemy in 100 steps, and is indestructible, so the princes and emperors of the previous dynasties, the scribes and knights, and the merchants and the common people are all proud of their perseverance. Sword and art, sword and Tao, sword and law, all have deep meanings. Since ancient times, heroes have persisted in the battlefield, dominating the martial arts, establishing a country, and doing benevolence and righteousness, so it has been passed down to this day, and is still loved by the world, and it is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with its glorious history.

However, because of the sharpness of the sword, the hegemony of the sword, the ruthlessness of the sword, and the poison of the sword, knights are often reluctant to take out the sword easily, so there is a saying in the rivers and lakes: the sword is bloody, and no blood is not returned to the sheath. Famous swordsmiths in the martial arts are often reluctant to open the sword easily, so there is a residual sword in the rivers and lakes, in this chaotic rivers and lakes, the only one who can use the residual sword and dare to use the residual sword is Xie Ziyang, but in the near future, I am afraid that the legend of the residual sword will also become a legend.

Xie Ziyang glared at Liu Peng angrily, his hatred, his anger, his remorse, his resentment, the entire space that had long been submerged. Liu Peng still looked at him with a wicked smile.

"You're scared too? haha. Liu Peng said with a smile.

"Afraid, I, Xie Ziyang, have never been afraid of anyone, I'm just unwilling to die like this, I really want to see your Demon Sect's internal strength."

"Then I'll give you this chance. After speaking, Liu Peng raised his hand and tore off the chain, thinking: Even if you are not injured, you may not be able to beat me.

As soon as Xie Ziyang got out, he kicked out with a kick, hitting Liu Peng in the face, although he was injured, his power was still undiminished, but Liu Peng was very calm, after all, he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his strength was strong, so he took this kick with one palm, grabbed Xie Ziyang and smashed it on the wall, maybe it was the old reason, the wall was smashed, Xie Ziyang ate this blow, the meridians of the whole body have been broken, vomited blood on the spot, dizzy, fell to the ground, and was not embarrassed.

Liu Peng looked at Xie Ziyang who fell to the ground and laughed, and the seven people also laughed, without any pity. Xie Ziyang sat up hard, leaning against the wall and slowly stood up, he knew that he didn't even have half a chance of winning, but he must not fall in front of this kind of person, and suddenly he also smiled, and in the haze he seemed to see his wife, so beautiful, so cute, so charming.

Liu Peng didn't expect Xie Ziyang to laugh instead of crying at this time, he was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became much fiercer: "The meridians in your body have been broken, your internal strength has been completely gone, and you have become a wasted person, I will make you never laugh." After speaking, his right hand turned into a claw and grabbed Xie Ziyang's throat.

The night is deeper, this night without moonlight or even without starlight, it seems extraordinarily long, but also extraordinarily desolate, the wind is still howling, adding a bit of chill, the spring in the south of the Yangtze River rarely has a chill, but once it is cold, it is a sudden cold, which makes people untouchable, making people think that winter has not passed, and the spring in front of them is just a dream. What about the rain? What about the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River? Maybe that's also an illusion, when you think that when the spring rain comes, God has played a joke on you again, but in fact it's just a spring snow. How elusive is the spring in Jiangnan, just like the human heart, how much Xie Ziyang once trusted this righteous brother, but when he looked back again, all happiness could only stay yesterday, and today was only replaced by hatred, he didn't understand why hatred and jealousy made people so crazy.

Xie Ziyang was tired, his vision was blurred, he felt that death was so close for the first time, he closed his eyes, he didn't want to do anything more, and he couldn't do anything more. Suddenly, a black figure fell from the sky through the roof, a black stick hit the top of Liu Peng's head like lightning, Liu Peng hurriedly flashed, took two steps back, the black stick landed, the black shadow turned around and stabbed again, hit Liu Peng's chest, the attack was rapid, Liu Peng dodged although he avoided the vital point, the shoulder was still pierced, Liu Peng was startled, and the black shadow was shocked back by the internal force, and the black shadow took a few steps back to stand, only to see that this person was holding a black stick in his right hand, and carrying a black sword behind his back, this sword was Xie Ziyang's residual sword, he turned to look at Liu Peng, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if shooting thousands of arrows from it pierced the enemy's heart。

Liu Peng's shoulder was pierced, and he immediately pointed to stop the bleeding, looking at the black shadow in front of him, his hair was scattered, his appearance was young, and he was holding a weapon that looked like a sword, not a sword, a stick and not a stick, and he was very surprised in his heart, he knew that this person was none other than the famous hop flower - sword impermanence.

The seven people were also shocked when they saw this, Ling Tian immediately said to Liu Peng: "You asked us to investigate the thief who stole the Xuanbing Jade, this person is the one who stole the Xuanbing Jade, the seven of us besieged him in Taihu Lake that day, and then he was rescued, so we will miss." ”

"Oh, could you be the impermanence of the sword called Hop Blossom?"

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, it's you and me."

"You thief, you haven't settled the account of stealing my jade, and now you're here to stop me?" Liu Peng scolded.

"Hehe, didn't you steal this jade from someone else, no, it should be said that it was robbed. Hop Blossom yelled.

"These have nothing to do with you, if you stop me today, you will be damned. Liu Peng's eyes became more and more ruthless, and he kept looking at the hop flowers, looking for an opportunity to attack.

"You really have no humanity, and you want to kill even your own righteous brother, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?"

"Hehe, the sky thunders, I am the sky, and everyone who stands in my way must die. After speaking, he flew out and slapped out a palm, and attacked with overwhelming momentum.

Hop Huazi immediately dodged, using a stick as a sword, and hit Liu Peng. Liu Peng's palm is whistling, and his internal strength is constantly output, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo; although the hop flower is a stick, it is a sword aura, and the tricks are strange, and it is unexpected, and Liu Peng is forced to only parry; Ling Tian saw that his situation was unfavorable, and stepped forward, shot a sword, and caught Jian Impermanence off guard, and suddenly the sword impermanence was already dripping with blood, Liu Peng immediately roared when he saw the opportunity, and the internal strength burst out instantly, like thousands of troops and horses galloping forward, and when the sword impermanence reacted, Liu Peng's iron palm was already up to his chest, so he could only take it in a hurry, this palm, Jian Impermanence was shocked several feet away, and hit the wall directly, vomiting out a few mouthfuls of blood。

Liu Peng laughed very proudly, and the other six people also applauded.

Seeing this, Xie Ziyang shouted: "Don't fight with him, his Demon Sect's internal strength is unfathomable" After speaking, he fainted in pain.

Hop Huazi stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, Liu Peng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he was vigilant, only to see that the sword impermanence and his eyes changed abruptly, extremely fierce, the black stick was across his chest, holding the stick with both hands, closing his eyes and luck, a shocking aura emanated, suddenly his eyes opened, his right hand suddenly pulled to the right, and then his left hand pulled to the left, and then pulled the stick away, and suddenly a long sword was sharp, it turned out that the stick was just a scabbard, and there was such a sharp sword hidden inside, and then the hop Huazi gathered his energy in the sword, and waved it once on the left and right, and in an instant, two sword qi shot towards Liu Peng and others like thunder and lightning, However, the rest of the people were much slower, too late to dodge, they were all hit by the sword qi in an instant, the black-hearted monk, Hua Gu, Kunlun Jianhao Xiaosheng, could not have fallen to the ground in an instant, only the folding fan scholar Wei Wei Wuji Sword Ling Tian and Zhou Tai were spared, everyone was shocked, seeing that Jiuhuazi injured four people with only one move, he was shocked in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, where was there still Jiuhuazi and Xie Ziyang.

Liu Peng looked at the broken roof and said to the three people: "No need to chase, Xie Ziyang is not dead and a wasted person, from now on the remnant sword Xieyang is a legend, you immediately spread the news on the rivers and lakes, saying that Xie Ziyang is dead, the Xuanwu blood bead is in his tomb, ready to act, it's time to unify the Jiangnan martial arts, and if you see the hop flower in the future, don't talk about killing, this person is too dangerous."

Ling Tian bowed down and said: "Lord, the sudden intrusion of the sword impermanence has killed and injured many people, the four black-hearted monks are probably not able to survive, and the three of us are also seriously injured, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to act at this time."

"Those who become big things, sacrifice is inevitable, you can rest for the time being, ask Jian'er to call the evil ghosts of Xiangxi back, the plan of action remains the same" Liu Peng said coldly.

Ling Tian responded and led everyone down, leaving only Liu Peng laughing in the iron prison, which was very dark and terrifying.

Jian Wuchang kept running away with Xie Ziyang on his back, for fear that Liu Peng would chase after him, and Jian Wuchang would be injured, he never thought that Liu Peng would have such a strong and evil internal force, and he didn't know when his revenge would be avenged. Xie Ziyang was lying on Jian Wuchang's back, motionless, and seemed to be unconscious. Jian Wuchang knew that he had to hurry to a quiet place to recuperate, otherwise Xie Ziyang's life would not be guaranteed, but this was a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, where did it come from, besides, Liu Peng didn't know when he would chase after him. So he decided to change the waterway along the Yangtze River to the west, away from Gusu City, when he came to the river, the sky was already bright, and when he saw that there were boats on the river, without saying a word, he jumped up with light skills, and then put Xie Ziyang into the cabin to help him heal his injuries. After a few hours, Xie Ziyang finally woke up, and was not surprised to see that he was in the boat, and when he saw that Jian Impermanence was here, he had already remembered the incident of last night, and his heart was suddenly angry, anger surged into his heart, and Xie Ziyang coughed nonstop.

Jian Wu didn't see this, and hurriedly said: "The senior's injury is not healed, don't be angry."

"Why did you save me? I'm already a wasted person, and I have no value in life, so you should let me go to see my wife as soon as possible. Xie Ziyang's eyes were full of tears.

"Senior, calm down, don't seek death, I don't think your wife would ever want to see you like this."

When Xie Ziyang heard this, his eyes immediately became fierce and shouted towards the river: "That's right, your hatred, my hatred, one day, he must pay for his blood debts" The voice was heartbreaking, echoing on the river, followed by coughing.

"Seniors, let's take a good rest, at this moment, we should be safe by water. ”

"I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good, it would have been a superfluous move to save you on the shore of Taihu Lake that day. ”

"No, my predecessors didn't know, this sword is called bloodthirsty, although it is infinitely powerful, but it will be against the sword master, and I can't fully control it until now, so I can only seal it in the scabbard, so you still saved me that day. ”

"No wonder you are always reluctant to use your sword despite your swordsmanship. ”

"This is also a reason, but the sword is to kill after all, and I am not a person who likes to kill, senior, you rest for a while, and I will go to sail the boat." At this time, Jian Impermanence remembered that the boat had been unhelmed, but it was just moving with the wind and busy driving the boat.

The river surface in the early morning is exceptionally quiet, the boat parades in the river, rowing out bursts of ripples, at this time the sky has cleared, the wind has softened a lot, there is no roar last night, sparkling under the light of the morning sun, from time to time there are fish jumping out of the water, the flowers and trees on both sides of the river are just waking up, bursting out of vitality, the season of birds and flowers, but no one wants to stop and enjoy a moment, everyone is chasing fame and fortune, in the pursuit of their own happiness, but they don't know that happiness has always been around them, but they are missing the eyes to find happiness.

"I've already retrieved your remnant sword, it's in the cabin, so I'd better take it back. Jian Wuchang said suddenly.

Xie Ziyang stroked the sword affectionately and lamented: "Everyone is useless, what's the use of keeping the sword, you can keep it."

"The predecessor said that you are the only one in the world who is qualified to use the remnant sword, how can I ask for your sword?"

"You can use a stick as a sword, and you are naturally qualified to make a broken sword."

Jian Wuchang still refused to accept it, and said, "I'm used to my sword, a swordsman must not turn his back on his sword, right?"

"Listen, if you are a friend of mine, you must accept this sword, keeping it now will only invite murder, if possible, one day, I will return this sword, if I don't have the opportunity to return this sword, you can use it for me, so that the legend of the broken sword will not disappear in the rivers and lakes." ”

Jian Wuchang pondered for a while, "Since this is the case, I will temporarily accept this sword for my seniors."

"You send me to Sichuan and Shu, it's quieter there, let me fend for myself, and then you can go and do your own thing." ”

"What else can I do in my life but revenge?" Jian Wuchang sighed, his tone full of unwillingness and resentment.

"Your voice must not only be hatred, you also need love, you are still young, the road is still far away, you must know to cherish, don't be like me!" Xie Ziyang was very remorseful, his wife's death was actually his own fault.

"Hehe, I thought this assassination would be successful, so that I could live in peace from now on."

"Assassination, didn't you break into the Silver Spear Dart Game for the sake of Xuanbing Jade?" Xie Ziyang asked.

"Of course not, capturing the jade bi is only part of the plan, this time I invited my friend to assassinate Liu Peng together, but he met Bai Wanli halfway, he was seriously injured and couldn't come, maybe, this is the will of heaven!"

"Could it be that your friend is Fang Gu?"

"That's right, it's Fang Gu"

"Did you tell Fang Gu to follow me?"

"Yes, we heard that Liu Peng sent someone to look for you, and we were worried that you would join forces with Liu Peng, so I asked Fang Gu to divert your attention and prevent you from going to Suzhou, but unfortunately, this prompted you to go to Suzhou" said, Jian Wuchang sighed again.

The two were talking, suddenly felt the sound of water behind the boat, they were shocked, expected to be Liu Peng and others chasing, hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw a small boat rushing to arrive, but standing in front of the boat is not Liu Peng and others, but a woman, beautiful and beautiful, as soon as she sees the impermanence of the sword, she scolds the "thief".

Knowing that it was not Liu Peng and others, Jian Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief, so he stopped the boat, the woman saw this, raised her feet and jumped, and flew forward, she was really as light as a swallow, she never expected that such a slender girl would make a good hand, and Jian Wuchang couldn't help but praise it.

The woman landed on the bow of Jian Impermanence's boat, pointed at Jian Impermanence and scolded, "You thief, you dare to steal my ship, and you don't go to the rivers and lakes to inquire."

Seeing this, Jian Impermanence arched his hand and smiled, "It's really urgent, I have to do it as a last resort, please forgive the girl."

"Hmph, I have no choice, it's really nice to say, you stole my ship without asking me, are you not giving me Ye Siniang's face," she yelled loudly.

"Hmm, the Yangtze River bamboo leaves are green, the leaf lady in the water! I have admired the name for a long time, and I am really helpless to get off the pirate ship, I hope you will forgive me" said and bowed again.

"Hehe, it's easy to do, leave your burden, and I'll forgive you," he said, pointing to the burden on Jian Impermanence's body.

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not right."

"Joke, on this Yangtze River, no one can escape from my Ye Siniang, not to mention that you stole my boat."

"Hehe, if Siniang really wants it, you might as well come and try it yourself!" said that, he jumped onto Ye Siniang's boat again and made a fighting move.

Seeing this, Ye Siniang was shocked, she never thought that this person would run to her boat, so Ye Siniang flew forward and struck with a palm, where did you expect, the sword impermanence had already been prepared, one palm butt, and suddenly withdrew, Ye Siniang couldn't stand still, fell to the bow of the boat, and was about to fall into the water, only to see her holding the ground with one hand, a "Feiyan skimming the water" , lightly landed on the bow of the boat, and was secretly sighing in his heart that the sword impermanence was clever, and suddenly felt a shock to the hull under his feet, and the entire hull was scattered.

Seeing Ye Siniang fall into the water, Jian Wuchang smiled and said, "I have offended a lot below", and then left with the boat.

Ye Siniang fell into the water, her face was flushed with anger, and she saw that the boat was going farther and farther, but she couldn't do anything, so she could only slap the water and scold: "You bastard, I won't let you go."

It turned out that when Jian Wuchang jumped on Ye Siniang's boat, he had already unknowingly cut off the connection part of Ye Siniang's hull, just waiting for Ye Siniang to make a move, thinking about Ye Siniang's expression, he smiled unconsciously, and that handsome face was already deeply imprinted in his mind.

"I won't let you go, I won't let you go" Ye Siniang's scolding gradually faded away with the sword impermanence and disappeared into the distance.

In this way, the sword impermanence Xie Ziyang and the others have been walking along the Yangtze River, from east to west, against the water. If you don't advance, others will surpass you, if you don't kill, others will kill you, so there is such a saying in the rivers and lakes: Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. Therefore, there are very few people who are truly benevolent, and this kind of person who is kind-hearted and cultivates both virtue and martial arts is respected by everyone in the world, but how many such people are there in this chaotic rivers and lakes?

For a long time after, the sword was impermanent, Xie Ziyang and the two traveled through the mountains and rivers in Sichuan and Shu, and gradually forgot their hatred.

On this day, the two passed by the foot of Mount Emei, and happened to meet an old monk sitting alone playing chess, the two came forward to watch, and saw the old monk sighing, Xie Ziyang asked: "I don't know what the master is worried about?"

The old monk said: "Isn't this red chess piece seen by the general and the donor?"

"You can abandon the car and protect the handsome!" Jian Wuchang laughed.

"In this way, although handsome can be saved, the hatred between the red and black sides will not be deeper," the old monk said.

"Hehe, why should the master be obsessed with this? You should let it go," Xie Ziyang said.

"Then can the donor himself let go of his hatred?" the old monk looked at Xie Ziyang and asked.

"Maybe, besides, I don't have the ability to take revenge anymore," Xie Ziyang said firmly. Jian Wuchang looked very surprised, he never expected that Xie Ziyang would be able to give up the hatred in his heart.

"What about this benefactor?" the old monk asked again.

"Impossible, my hatred, I can't forget" Thinking of hatred, Jian Wuchang was a little angry.

"Time will always dilute everything, whether it is hatred, regret, or resentment, you can't forget, just because you are still persistent, you can't afford it, just because you can't let it go" The old monk said, and then the old monk looked at Xie Ziyang and said: "This donor, the old monk has something to ask for and hope that the donor agrees."

"Master may as well say something directly," Xie Ziyang said.

"There is a child in the grass behind me, he is the child of the ranger Mo Saburo, the old man desperately saved him from Ling Tian and his gang, please raise him with a good life, I don't want him to become a tool for revenge in the future."

Speaking of Ling Tian, Xie Ziyang clenched his fists and asked with some hatred: "Master, you are not injured on the surface, is it that you have been poisoned?"

"It's Gu poison, the Gu poison of the evil ghosts in Xiangxi" The old monk said very indifferently.

When the two of them heard this, they glanced at each other, and they were a little regretful, they all knew that few people could solve the Gu poison of the evil ghosts in Xiangxi.

"Ranger has been chivalrous all his life, why did they find Mo Saburo?" Jian Wuchang asked.

"I don't know this old man, maybe this is the rivers and lakes, I just hope that this child can live well and not be trapped by hatred, can the donor promise me?" said the old monk......

Rivers and lakes, what are rivers and lakes? Rivers and lakes are people's hearts, and if you can't see through people's hearts, you can't see through the rivers and lakes, and people's hearts are different, so the rivers and lakes are different; rivers and lakes, where are the rivers and lakes? The rivers and lakes are around each of us, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in fact, everyone has a rivers and lakes of their own in their hearts.
