Chapter Twenty-Three: Wind Shadow Swordsmanship is unique in the world

But he said that this wind shadow was the leader of the Central Plains heroes twenty years ago, and he was originally a Wu person, but he didn't know what his real name was, but he was called the style shadow. Although Wind Shadow is not a descendant of Wind Beard, he is a descendant of Wind Beard.

Windbeard is a swordsmith who waited at the same time as Ou Yezi, both of whom were from the Spring and Autumn Period, while the Gongbu Sword was forged by Ou Yezi and Windbeard.

The Gongbu Sword is an invisible thing that seizes the heavens and the earth, turns into purple gas, and gathers to become a sword.

The Gongbu sword is also the sword of the king, the difference is that the Gongbu sword is worn by the common people, so those who can have the fate to get this sword are all heroes in the wild.

The Gongbu sword was born from casting, and was hidden in the court by the king of Yue, and then disappeared for no reason, and was missing. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years to the present, the Gongbu sword is sometimes hidden, sometimes appears, but whenever it appears, it must be a leader in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, in later generations, all those who could obtain the Gongbu Sword called themselves disciples of the Wind Beard to show their awe.

This wind shadow is a native of Wu State, who was a commoner in his early years and made a living from fishing and hunting. One day, fishing in the river, suddenly saw the purple gas in the river, there was a big fish jumped into the net, when the net was closed, there was no fish in the net, it was actually a sword with a box, there were two words of seal calligraphy and cloth.

Feng Yingzi was in his twenties at the time, and he was shocked when he saw it, so he put away his sword, but on the way home, he met an old man and said to him: "Whoever gets this sword can become the leader of the world's heroes!" After saying that, he drifted away.

The Wind Shadow was amazed, so he took note of it, and did not easily show the sword to others. Soon after returning home, on a bright night in January, the wind and shadow saw that the moon was like water, so he walked around the mountains with his sword and prepared to practice his sword in the wilderness. The sword is out of the box, and the sound of gold and iron is like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring. The wind shadow is strange, so he swings his sword and strikes under the moon, only to see the glow of the sun, the cold air, the birds and beasts are all ambushing, and the night owl stops singing.

The wind shadow was frightened, and suddenly a person came out from behind the mountain, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the old man he met on the road that day, and the old man came with a cane, and said to the wind shadow: "The old man is proficient in swordsmanship, and now you have this sword, but you don't know the swordsmanship, isn't it a disappointment to this sword?" Wait for the old man to teach you a set of swordsmanship. ”

Seeing the old man's strange appearance, like a god, the wind shadow was even more surprised, and saw that the old man wanted to teach himself swordsmanship, so he humbly begged to worship and was willing to worship the old man as a teacher.

The old man ordered him to get up, and without asking his name, he first took a sword and demonstrated a set of paths, and then let the wind shadow imitate it. The wind shadow imitated several times, and the old man nodded slightly and said: "The old man sees that your steps are like the wind, and the sword shadow under the moon is like everyone." Let's teach you this set of shadow sword techniques. ”

So he carefully instructed the wind shadow and taught him for most of the night, until the wind shadow had memorized this set of arrow methods, and then floated away. The wind shadow asked where it came from, but the old man ignored it and disappeared.

Wind Shadow had no choice but to practice the sword carefully, so he practiced this set of paths. A few years later, Wind Shadow turned out to be extremely skilled and excellent in swordsmanship.

In the country of Wu Yue, the style of rangers was very popular. When the wind shadow learned swordsmanship, he became a man and walked the rivers and lakes in the name of the wind shadow. The rangers of the Wu Kingdom all knew that the wind shadow had obtained the sword and soldier book given by the gods, so they regarded him as the leader, and they were quite influential in the land of Wu Yue.

When the monarch of Wu heard that he wanted to receive this sword, the wind shadow heard about it and did not want to make enemies with the king of Wu, so he left Wu with the Gongbu sword and came to the Central Plains.

For several years, Yan Zhao, Qi Wei and other heroes of the Central Plains came to pay homage, and took Feng Ying as the leader, just like the leader of the Central Plains Alliance.

However, twenty years ago, one day, the Gongbu sword suddenly turned into a ball of purple qi and returned to the box, and the wind shadow was surprised when he saw it: "If this sword is invisible, then I should retire to the rivers and lakes." So he told the Central Plains hero: "I will retire." So he lived in seclusion in Mangdang Mountain, and sealed the sword box in the mountain.

Before long, the countries of the Central Plains saw that the heroes were huge and there were many illegal things, so Yan, Zhao, Qi, Wei and other countries ordered to ban rangers, and those who violated the order were arrested and beheaded. So the heroes went underground, and the rivers and lakes were immediately full of horses, and it was difficult to see the rangers with swords on their backs. It's been 20 years now.

Wind Shadow withdrew from the rivers and lakes, lived in seclusion in Mangdang Mountain in the Song Kingdom, cultivated and fed, married a wife and had children, and unconsciously twenty years passed, and Wind Shadow also passed the age of sixtieth and entered the twilight of his life.

Since announcing that the sword was sealed in the mountains, Wind Shadow no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The heroes of the past have also fallen and scattered, the rise and fall of the world, the world is impermanent, the wind and shadow have sighed, they have seen through the world, and they are like masters outside the world.

And announcing the whereabouts of the sword is known only to Wind Shadow himself. The shadow of the wind tells me that the sword of Gongbu has become invisible and is missing. When the world's heroes heard this, they would be skeptical. In the past 20 years, there are many people who know the seclusion of the wind shadow and come to inquire about the whereabouts of the Gongbu sword, but most of them return empty-handed.

In the past twenty years, the Western Qin State has become increasingly powerful. The Qin army was the army of tigers and wolves, encroaching on Wei and Han, and repeatedly urging the divisions of the great powers of the Central Plains. In order to protect themselves, the six eastern countries will carry out a combination of strategies. The nobles of the various clans recruited Luomen guests, and the heroes of the Central Plains in the past appeared one after another, and returned to the princes and princes, and the rivers and lakes reappeared.

And the most famous in the world at the moment, it is none other than Meng Weijun of Qi State, Meng Weijun Tianwen inherited his father's fiefdom title, and has rich assets, so he recruited people from all over the world, and the roosters and dogs did not refuse, and there were 3,000 diners.

The wind shadow was in Mangdang Mountain, and when he heard that Meng Weijun of Qi State was recruiting guests, he sighed: "If the princes use Haojie again, there will be great changes in the world!" So I walked between the Mangdang Mountains and watched, and there were people who cultivated on the side of the Mangdang Mountains from time to time, saying that they often heard the sound of dragons in the mountains at night, and it was like a tiger roaring, and they went to look for it during the day, but there was nothing abnormal.

Wind Shadow knew the reason, so he went to the place where the sword was sealed in the mountain twenty years ago, opened the seal, and looked at the Gongbu Sword, but it was still only an empty box.

The wind shadow stayed on the side of the mountain overnight, and sure enough, in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of the sword dragon chanting and the roar of the tiger, which came into the ear drum.

Wind Shadow sighed: "Although there is a sword sound, but the sword is not in force, it is still difficult for the heroes of the rivers and lakes to do anything." "Sigh down the mountain.

A few months later, there was a Zhongshan country people came to visit the wind shadow, after calling himself Le Yang, the name Lefeng, the doctrine of the soldiers, is also the hero of the Zhongshan country, heard that twenty years ago the leader of the hero wind shadow in Mangdang Mountain, so he came from Zhongshan country, and said to the wind shadow: "Qi State Meng Weijun is recruiting the world's wise men, the predecessor is the former hero leader, the master of the moment, why not come out now?" If the seniors go, Meng Weijun will definitely treat the seniors with great courtesy! ”

Wind Shadow politely refused: "My old man, I just want to be entertained at night and enjoy my life in peace, and I don't want to ask about the world anymore." ”

Lefeng failed to persuade him, so he said to the wind shadow: "I heard that the predecessors have the Gongbu sword, since the predecessors don't want to ask about the world, then the Gongbu sword should be passed on to the latecomers, so as to revitalize the rivers and lakes and magnify the heroes!" ”

Wind Shadow said: "The Gongbu Sword is a thing of heaven and earth, and it has been turned into nothingness, and it is not the will of the old decay. ”

Lefeng didn't believe it, and asked again and again, but the wind shadow had no choice but to tell the truth, Lefeng wanted to go to watch, and the wind shadow persuaded him, and Lefeng still insisted on going. In order to dispel the thoughts in Lefeng's heart, the wind shadow took him to Mangdang Mountain and went to the place where the sword was sealed to see the Gongbu sword.

Entering the cave, found the place where the sword was sealed, Lefeng was overjoyed, and was about to go forward to get it, suddenly the sword box was filled with purple gas, and in an instant the cave was lightning and thunder, and the sound of the dragon and the tiger roaring was terrifying. In the darkness, there seemed to be a dragon and tiger pounced, and Lefeng retreated in terror and fled from the cave, which closed itself.

Le Feng was shocked, as if he had lost his soul, and the wind shadow said: "I don't listen to the advice of the old man, and I want to ask for the sword, so I am so disturbed." If it weren't for the blessing of Hong Fu under his feet, I am afraid that he would have died in the cave at this moment. This sword is a divine object of heaven and earth, and if there is no such fate, it will be difficult to retreat. ”

Lefeng was ashamed, so he apologized for the wind shadow, said goodbye and returned to Zhongshan, thinking about the matter of this Gongbu sword, which is not something that people who have no fate can get. I let go of this thought in my heart, and finally realized the truth. So he abandoned Ren Xia, and he was not ready to go to Meng Weijun of Qi State, and studied family military science at home.

Le Feng is forty years old, since he went to Mangdang Mountain to take the sword frightened, he lost his courage, becoming more and more frail and sickly, Le Feng regretted it very much, he knew that he was not in awe of the sword and had this misfortune, thinking that he might not be able to do anything in this life, so he tried his best to teach his son at home, and wanted to train his son to become a talent.

Lefeng has a son who is more than ten years old, named Le Yi, who is stunted and thought stupid. Lefeng taught him wholeheartedly, and gradually opened his mind. Lefeng was overjoyed and said: "My son is not stupid, but wise and foolish." So he taught his son the art of war, Le Yi actually knew it at all, and after a few years, he mastered all the family studies, and Le Feng couldn't argue with each other.

Later, Le Feng died, Le Yi traveled to Zhao State, defected to King Yan Zhao, hated King Yan Zhao for recovering the country, and went east to seventy-two cities of Qi State, established a merit that did not come out of the world, and became a famous general through the ages, which is a later story.

Lefeng went to the shadow of the wind to find a cloth sword, which was known to Zhao Guohaojie. Zhao and Zhongshan are close to each other, and there are heroes of Zhao from time to time, who loves the study of the vertical and horizontal family and likes swords. Another hero, Zhao He, who is also a person who likes swordsmanship, heard about Lefeng's sword, so he came to Lefeng to ask how the sword was? Lefeng told Gongbu that the sword was not visible to people who had no chance, and if he offended it, he was afraid that his life would be at risk. The two didn't believe it, and said: "The sword roars when it meets the heroes, since we are heroes, how can we not have a chance to see them?" How much more can a mere sword harm our lives? Is there such a thing in the world? ”

The two did not listen to the persuasion, so they went to the Song Kingdom, to Mangdang Mountain, to see the wind shadow, and wanted to see the sword. The wind shadow persuaded the two, but the two did not listen, and the wind shadow said, "The cave where the sword is hidden has been sealed and cannot be entered." The two said, "What's so hard about this?" Just dig it up. Wind Shadow persuaded again: "This sword is very dangerous, hidden murder, if it is not a person with great blessings, I am afraid of being injured by it, if there is an accident between the two of them, how can the old decay be embarrassed?" ”

The two laughed and said, "How can we wait for heroes to act, so how can we look forward and backward because of this?" Don't worry about your predecessors, if you are in danger, you won't interfere with your predecessors. Just take the two of us there. ”

The wind shadow just didn't want to, and the two of them were soft and hard, and the wind shadow couldn't help it, so he had to lead the two to the door of the cave where the sword was sealed.
