Volume 1 The Little Boy Who Seeks to Learn the Sword Chapter 30 The Sword Test (5,000 Words)
The woman walked quickly towards Ye Fan, looked her up and down a few times, and then asked softly, "Little brother, what do you think?"
Ye Fan got up, hugged his fists, and said, "It's no big deal, shopkeeper Chen don't worry." ”
The woman smiled lightly and said gently: "It's too rusty to call Shopkeeper Chen, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Qiaoqian in the future." ”
The young man smiled shyly and replied, "Clever smile, beautiful eyes." Sister Qiao Qian really has a good name, just like that. ”
Chen Qiaoqian was overjoyed, hid her face and smiled, and then asked curiously: "Little brother, you can have such a high cultivation at such a young age, which has already amazed my sister and me, but I didn't expect that you are also a scholar?"
When Ye Fan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "Sister Qiao Qian, that giant python really wasn't killed by me, it's all Wei Cheng's credit." If he hadn't been injured, it is estimated that the giant python would not have dared to show his face. ”
"Oh?" Chen Qiaoqian nodded suspiciously, "I didn't expect Brother Wei to be amazing, but he is a master who is deeply hidden." ”
The young man nodded and said, "Sister Qiaoqian, my name is Ye Fan, and you can call me by my name in the future." ”
Chen Qiaoqian smiled, "It's made Ye Fan look a little rusty." In this way, how old am I to be you, how about calling you Xiaofan? Don't blame my sister for being blind. ”
Ye Fan scratched his head honestly and said stupidly: "No, no, it's just that no one has ever called me that." ”
The woman smiled, her eyes curved into two crescents, extremely charming, "Then I'm not the first person to call Xiao Fan Xiao Fan." Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, hahaha, it's a little addictive. ”
The boy was a little shy, and his face turned red.
The little girl saw such a good-looking big sister talking and laughing with Ye Fan, she felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, pouted, and snorted angrily.
When Chen Qiaoqian saw the girl like this, how could she not know what she was thinking, and quipped: "Little sister, are you jealous?"
Li Mingyue didn't expect the woman to say it so bluntly, she blushed, and hurriedly hid behind Ye Fan, revealing two braids, and refused to come out even if she died.
Chen Qiaoqian didn't plan to stop there, and continued: "Then if Xiaofan meets his beloved woman in the future, he will hold hands, hug, and even kiss in front of you. When the time comes, you'll be able to bear this vinegar jar..."
"Hey?" The woman's tone changed, and she suddenly realized: "Does my little sister like your big brother and want to marry him as his wife in the future?"
Li Qingfeng said helplessly: "Little sister is thin-skinned, don't make fun of shopkeeper Chen." ”
The little girl held the corner of Ye Fan's clothes tightly, her expression was complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
At this moment, Wei Cheng, who was not far from a few people, moved, and Ye Fan hurriedly walked away after seeing it.
The man lay on the straw mat and wailed: "Damn, Lao Tzu was already so seriously injured, and he drained all his aura, how can he recuperate." I'm so miserable, oops, it hurts me to death..."
Ye Fan hurriedly squatted on the ground and asked anxiously, "Wei Cheng, how are you?"
Wei Cheng looked up, only to see a sad face, Chen Qiaoqian, who was standing in front of him, immediately changed his face, the clouds were light, and he said quietly: "As long as the shopkeeper Chen is not harmed, what are these small injuries that my Wei Cheng suffered?"
As soon as the young man saw Wei Cheng again, he knew that he was fine.
When Chen Qiaoqian heard this, she said gratefully: "Senior Wei Cheng, the twelve of us in the Red Leaf Hundred Treasure Pavilion Branch owe you a life. If there is anything I command, I Chen Qiaoqian will definitely do it to repay the kindness. ”
The man shook his head lightly, his face showed vicissitudes, and said in a deep voice: "The gentleman does not want to repay his kindness, not to mention that I not only saved you at that time, but also saved myself." If Shopkeeper Chen is really sorry and feels sorry, then help me cook a meal, and then stop there, and don't mention repaying the favor in the future. ”
When Chen Qiaoqian heard this, her face turned a little bright, and the already extremely young woman became more and more moving, and then said timidly: "Brother Wei Cheng, you really make me feel sorry for me." Seeing how old you are and how old I am, I dare to call you Brother Wei, don't mind. Also, don't call me Shopkeeper Chen, just call me Qiaoqian..."
Ye Fan looked at the woman who was still teasing the little girl just now, but now she became shy, and she was very surprised, she didn't know what was going on.
Wei Cheng shouted softly, "Qiao Qian..."
The boy shuddered, and goosebumps got on his arm.
Chen Qiaoqian responded timidly in front of her: "Hey, Brother Wei." ”
The man paused, and then continued: "Actually, my sentence was not a kind word, it was really hungry and suddenly wanted to eat. ”
。。。。。。
Chen Qiaoqian and her entourage, a total of 12 people. Except for the shopkeeper, the rest are all strong men, who escorted a batch of materials to Chongling Pass for military purposes at the behest of the Imperial Court of the Red Leaf Kingdom.
The day before yesterday, after the giant python was killed by Ye Fan with a knife, Chen Qiaoqian and his party dug out the snake gall, cocked out the five hardest scales on the black python's body, took a few bottles of essence blood, and dug out its wings. The shopkeeper explained clearly to Ye Fan that whether the snake gallbladder was taken directly or used as an elixir, it was basically priceless, and it was recommended that he keep it for himself, and when the time came, he could find a Dan master and refine a pill. If the scales, wings, and snake blood were useless, they could be sold directly to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and fifteen hundred green bamboo coins or fifteen purple cloud coins could be paid off in full.
Ye Fan discussed it with Wei Cheng, and saw that Chen Qiaoqian was so open and honest, and he didn't pay attention, so he decided to sell the snake gall directly to Baibao Pavilion, and he should settle an incense affair.
Chen Qiaoqian is a smart person, she didn't take the opportunity to lower the price, but offered a price a few points higher than the market price, and the twelve Ziyun coins were accepted.
The young man took a money bag from Chen Qiaoqian's hand, and then slowly opened it, only to see that twenty-seven coins the size of a quarter palm were all flowing with purple gas, like auspicious clouds attached to it, knowing that there was no problem, he nodded to Chen Qiaoqian.
It's not that Ye Fan can't trust this shopkeeper, it's just that the matter of buying and selling has nothing to do with friendship, and if you count it in person, both parties will have a lot less trouble.
The young man handed the money bag to Wei Cheng, "No, put the money away, save some wife's capital, you can't be a bachelor for a lifetime." ”
Wei Cheng took the money bag, looked inside, took out two and put them on his chest, and threw the money bag to Ye Fan, "It's enough for me to take two as wine money, and you can take the rest, there will be more places to spend money on cultivation in the future, how can you do it without a little money." ”
Ye Fan was holding a somewhat heavy money bag, not knowing what to say.
The man continued in a serious tone: "You kid will be less angry with me in the future, and I will have nothing to ask for." ”
Ye Fan raised his head, looked at the man, and said sincerely: "Wei Cheng, thank you." ”
Then the conversation changed, "But it's impossible not to be angry with you, and I'm going to be angry with you for the rest of my life." ”
"Hey, you stinky boy, believe it or not I'm beating you. ”
"I'm still bragging about being hurt like this, come on, come on, see how you beat me, slightly..."
Wei Cheng simply closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
The old man and Li Jin were both injured by the giant python, but fortunately, there was nothing serious, but they were in a coma all night, and they lost some qi and blood, and they could recover after a few days of rest.
The old man's surname is Zhong Mingli, he is the enshrinement of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion Branch of the Red Leaf Country, and he is also a sword cultivator of the Six Realms, who came to protect the safety of Chen Qiaoqian's party and materials.
Although Zhongli was shocked into the river by the giant python, he did not immediately fall into a coma. The power of that sword qi is all in the eyes, and it can be seen clearly, so he is even more in awe of Wei Cheng, and his attitude is humble, and the number of salutes he performs is actually the gift of the juniors.
An old man with white hair and a wrinkled face who regarded himself as a junior made Wei Cheng very helpless.
It's just that Ye Fan is still the first time to see a sword cultivator other than Zhao Qing, and he is extremely curious.
Seeing that more than ten people in the distance were busy preparing dinner, Ye Fan walked to the distance of the crowd, stood beside the old man, saluted, and said softly: "Old Zhong." ”
Zhongli looked at the handsome young man in front of him, he was very thoughtful, and he was even more fearless that day, he was able to cooperate with Wei Cheng to kill the giant python of the Seven Realms with the cultivation of the Second Realm, and he was not proud of his achievements afterwards, and he liked it very much in his heart, and asked in a kind voice: "Ye Fan Xiaoyou, is there anything wrong?"
The young man got up and said slowly with some embarrassment: "Elder Zhong, in fact, the kid has always wanted to learn swords since he first decided to practice. But to tell you the truth, you are the second sword cultivator I have ever seen, so the kid really doesn't know anything about using swords, so I want to ask you for advice. ”
Zhongli smiled, and didn't ask the young man why he only saw a sword cultivator, so he thought that he must learn the sword. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment before he said slowly: "Sword cultivation, among all the monks, the lethality and combat power are the highest. A sword cultivator who has just entered the Six Realms, under the fight for his life, can fight to a tie with an ordinary monk at the peak of the Six Realms, and even take his life at the cost of serious injuries. Do you know why?"
Ye Fan shook his head honestly, "I don't know." ”
The old man said, "Most of the monks in the clouds have spiritual weapons around them, and they have learned thousands of methods, all of which are different. But the way of sword cultivation, that is, to have absolute distractions, all I rely on in my life is the sword in my hand, any spiritual weapons and superfluous spells are entangled vines, which will only make me wait for the sword cultivation to be tied. ”
"After the monk arrives at the Three Realms and Formation Dan, he will start refining his own flying sword. It's just that if you choose a flying sword well, whether you can succeed in refining it is two words. Some innate sword blanks are blessed, refining flying swords is not difficult at all, and the sword in the hand will become sharper and sharper with the strength of its own realm, and it will become more and more handy. Some monks have no chance of being able to get a sword, and even if they get a flying sword of an excellent grade, it is impossible to have some results if they let it be refined for hundreds of years. And even if you can refine successfully, the amount of money you will have to spend in order to cultivate the flying sword in the future is really innumerable. Therefore, this has created a situation where the number of cultivators in the world is the rarest, but the number of sword cultivators is the rarest. ”
Ye Fan was worried when he heard this.
Zhongli continued: "After the flying sword is refined, it is equivalent to the right-hand man of the sword cultivator. The immortal sword cultivator, with a movement of his mind, the flying sword took the head of a person thousands of miles away, like a bag to take things. What's more, it's not difficult to cross a state. Not long ago, Liu Jian, who is known as unsurpassed in swordsmanship in the world, crossed Zhongzhou and half of North Huayangzhou with the power of a sword, and flattened the entire Great Qi Palace in an instant. When encountering such a person with swordsmanship, Daqi could only eat Coptis dumbly and secretly swallowed this bitterness. This kind of demeanor is really enough to make the sword cultivators in the world breathtaking, beyond the reach of the dust. ”
The old man let out a sigh of longing.
Then he turned his head to Ye Fan and said, "Since you want to learn the sword, are you ready for the flying sword you want to refine?"
The young man scratched his head when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Old Zhong, in fact, I haven't touched a sword much, let alone prepared a flying sword to be refined..."
Zhongli smiled dumbly.
Ye Fan suddenly thought about it, his mind moved, he took out a flying sword from the jade plate, held it in his hand, and asked, "Old Zhong, I don't know if this one will work?"
Zhongli has long been surprised by the storage objects, which is why Ye Fan does not hide it much. Hearing this, he took a closer look, and saw that the long sword in the young man's hand was about four feet long, slightly longer than an ordinary flying sword, and the sword body material should be made of black crystal, and even the hilt was made of refined steel. Surrounded by purple thunder, the blade of the sword flashed with white light, and it was actually a high-grade flying sword of extremely good grade.
The old man couldn't help but exclaim: "What a thunder sword!" It's just that there are still traces of formation on the body of this sword, and it should have been separated from the sword formation composed of ten to dozens of the same flying swords before. What kind of height of power can the sword array that can be formed with these swords? ”
When Ye Fan saw Zhongli's words, he knew that the long sword in his hand was really quite good. It's just that I didn't choose to take out the other dozen or so flying swords, and I was a little defensive in my heart, which was always good.
The young man had been holding the sword for a while, and the Six Realms Sword Cultivator Zhong Li didn't feel surprised at first. But after a while, I saw some clues.
The old man shook his head, just to hell with it.
I saw that in a place that the naked eye could not perceive in the young man's body, a rudimentary sword gall had already appeared. This means that if Ye Fan is taught by a famous teacher, the way of the sword will only be like a fish in water, and if he just blindly pursues the realm, it will be almost unimpeded before the Six Realms.
Where is this ordinary teenager who only has two realms?
This is obviously an unborn kendo genius!
The natal flying sword in the dantian trembled slightly, and he was about to move, and the old man actually had the slightest idea of sparring with the young man.
The Six Realms Sword Cultivator seriously swords a Second Realm cultivator who has not yet refined the Natal Flying Sword?
Zhongli felt that he was really old.
But it didn't take long for him to quickly be relieved, he was just a frog at the bottom of the well guarding a corner of this red leaf country, how long the genius of the five states was, and the young man in front of him was just one of them.
The old man had a whim, released the flying sword from the dantian, the sword intent was everywhere, and then said to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan Xiaoyou, I have isolated the world this time, as long as the movement is not too big, the outside world will not feel the slightest. You and I will try our swords here, how about it?"
The young man was extremely surprised when he heard this, "But Zhong Lao, I don't even know how to use the sword, how to try the sword." ”
The old man said lightly: "You can do whatever you want." ”
Ye Fan looked at the long sword with the sound of the sword in his hand, calmed down, and slowly closed his eyes.
Zhongli didn't bother.
After a long time, the long sword suddenly emitted a wisp of sword qi, faint as a candle flame.
The old man smiled playfully.
"Ye Fan Xiaoyou, are you ready?"
The boy opened his eyes and nodded slowly.
"I'll take a bit of sword intent first to see what your young man's second realm foundation is. Be careful!"
Zhongli's sword flew out and hovered between the two, standing still.
The young man frowned slightly, but he didn't move at all, and even his breath didn't mess up for a moment.
The old man was shocked in his heart.
A wisp of pure sword intent in the Divine Spirit Realm, attacking a Second Realm Qi Cultivator at an extremely fast speed, is like a fart?
At the very least, you have to resist it, right?
Ye Fan scratched his head and said very sincerely: "Old Zhong, you don't have to be too merciful. I've suffered a bit, and I can endure the pain, so as long as it's not too perverted to attack, you can just take action. ”
"Okay!" Zhongli nodded, and then three wisps of sword qi emerged from the body of the Natal Flying Sword Sword. The old man bent his fingers and flicked the sword body, and three wisps of sword qi quickly attacked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was prepared, Long Youyue was running at full strength, and the aura of his whole body was transmitted to the long sword in his hand. The faint sword qi on the sword body surged upward, and it actually seemed a little larger. Then the long sword slashed at the three wisps of sword qi that came quickly, and when the two touched, the three wisps of sword qi were like moths to a fire, and they turned into green smoke in the blink of an eye.
Ye Fan shouted softly: "Old Zhong, come again!"
The old man looked calm, but he muttered in his heart.
Then he stretched out his fingers and swiped the sword.
This time, it was no longer a few small wisps of weak sword qi, but a whole white sword intent flying out of the sword body. However, it did not rush towards Ye Fan, but quietly hovered beside the old man, exuding a burst of might.
Zhong Li said slowly: "After the sword cultivation reaches the Five Realms, you can put the natal flying sword into the dantian, use the body as a furnace, and cultivate it carefully, and the power of the flying sword will naturally be much greater." The previous two times were just to see your background, and now it's the big dish on the table. The old man's sword intent will increase the force, Ye Fan Xiaoyou, you can take it!"
The boy nodded.
At the moment when Ye Fan made this move, the sword intent beside the old man suddenly disappeared, and the next moment it shone with red light, and it hit Ye Fan like a bamboo.
The young man's heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously raised his long sword to block it.
Then the sword intent slammed into the long sword, and the young man retreated frantically until he collided with a big tree and spit out a breath of turbid air before suddenly stopping.
The old man twisted his beard and chuckled: "If you confront a sword cultivator in the future, it is a matter of life and death, but you can't use it for more than once, otherwise the end will be much more miserable than now." ”
Ye Fan shook his hands, walked quickly in front of Zhong Li like no one else, and said stupidly: "The kid thanked Zhong Lao for reminding him, and he will never do this in the future..."
Before the words fell, the long sword in the young man's hand quickly slashed towards the old man.
Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly stretched out two fingers and clamped the sword body, so that the long sword could not advance in the slightest.
Ye Fan withdrew the flying sword, clasped his fists and admired: "Old Zhong taught by example, and the kid is convinced." ”
The old man coughed softly and said indifferently: "This sword test will be here first, and there will be opportunities in the future, let's go and rest first." ”
When Ye Fan heard this, he took back the long sword and took back the jade plate, bowed to the old man, and then left.
Zhongli looked at Ye Fan's figure getting farther and farther away, and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
I almost fell in love with this kid, but fortunately I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have really let this young man see a joke.
