Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Invincible Benevolence

Wei Wuji arched his hand at Fan Sui and said: "The Zhan Lu sword was given to Brother Lu by me, and Brother Lu gave it to Brother Li Mu. Brother Lu and Brother Li Mu are here tonight, why don't Prime Minister Fan return to their original owners? ”

Fan Sui said: "I heard Brother Lu say that this sword will choose the owner, Fan wants to see it on the spot." If there is really any sound of dragon groaning, it will be fine, if not, this sword will probably remain in the Qin State. Hahahaha! ”

As he was talking, the waiter appeared holding the Zhan Lu sword.

Huang Xie got up and walked over, and while watching, he sighed in amazement: "This is the legendary Ancient Divine Sword?" ”

Chen Zheng said to Li Mu: "Since Prime Minister Fan wants to listen to the voice of the dragon, if he doesn't take the sword yet, when will he wait?" ”

Li Mu walked up to the waiter and stretched out his hand to hold the Zhan Lu sword in his hand, and when the sword was unsheathed, Huang Xie and the waiter hurriedly retreated to the side.

Fan Sui smiled: "This sword is not unusual! Where there is any sound of dragon groaning, it is clearly a false rumor. ”

Suddenly, the bronze oil lamps in the hall danced at the same time, and the originally weak flames danced upward, accompanied by a "chirp" sound, a cold wind shuttled among the people, and Fan Sui's beard and sleeves swayed with it.

Looking at Li Mu again, he was flying up and down in the middle of the hall with the Zhan Lu sword in his hand, and the sound of the dragon's groan followed the sword's point, like a white dragon stretching out its claws and jumping up, and everyone present was stunned.

When Li Mu put away the divine sword, the sound of the dragon's chant stopped abruptly, and the flames in the oil lamp also returned to their original appearance.

Xunzi high-fived and said: "This Li Mu brother is really amazing, the old man has walked the world all his life, and he is also known to be well-informed. ”

"Prime Minister Fan, Prime Minister Fan..."

Fan Sui stayed there with straight eyes, really deaf and indifferent to Huang Xie's call.

"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter outside the door, and I saw a person walking in, and arched his hand to Li Mu, who was standing there: "If it weren't for my Wang Jian rushing back in time, how could I have witnessed the demeanor of the Zhanlu Divine Sword with my own eyes!" This Brother Li not only has a good swordsmanship, but also is the chosen master of this divine sword, which is really enviable! ”

Fan Sui came back to his senses at this time, pouted and said: "It's cold tonight, and it's just a yin wind blowing in from outside, how can you recognize that ordinary wind as the sound of a dragon's groan!" In this world, only people choose swords, how can there be a reason for swords to choose people. The son is silent, and the strange force is confused. If this sword is out of my prime minister's mansion, won't it bewitch the world again, I think, it is better to stay here for safekeeping with Fan. ”

Ba Qing couldn't look at it a little, and said: "Prime Minister Fan, this Zhan Lu sword is obviously showing divine power in the hands of others, how can you say that it is a rumor?" Why don't you let this old brother dance with a sword again, and see if it's the sound of the wind or the sound of the dragon's roar, I'll be a witness. If this sword chooses this old brother, Prime Minister Fan Cheng should not take the love of others. ”

Fan Sui ignored Ba Qing, looked at Wang Jian and said with a smile: "General Wang Jian came just in time, the swordsmanship of this old brother Li Mu is really extraordinary, but my Qin State's swordsmanship is a few points better than that of Zhao State, you take over the Zhan Lu Sword and wait for me to help the wine." ”

"Wait!" Chen Zheng got up and walked to Li Mu to take the Zhan Lu sword, then returned to his seat and sat down and said, "Since Prime Minister Fan said that the Zhan Lu sword is just an ordinary sword, then Brother Wang Jian doesn't have to use this sword to cheer us up, why not take another sword?" ”

Chen Zheng thought to himself, when the Zhan Lu Sword was in Wang Qian's hands, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get it back.

Fan Sui was about to go crazy, Wang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "I, Wang Qian, have always respected people with excellent swordsmanship, why don't you just have a discussion with Brother Li Mu tonight, so that I can learn the subtlety of Zhao Guo's swordsmanship." ”

Wei Wuji just wanted to high-five and applaud, but when he turned his face to see Chen Zheng's solemn expression, he put his outstretched hands back again.

Fan Sui waved his hand and said, "Come on, take the sword!" ”

A waiter took down two bronze swords from the sword stand not far from Fan Sui and handed them to Li Mu and Wang Jian respectively. The people present, except for Chen Zheng, were full of curiosity and expectation about the two handsome young men standing in the middle of the hall at this moment.

"Wait!" Fan Sui raised his hand: "Fan has something to say." Since tonight is a swordsmanship competition in my Qin State Prime Minister's Mansion, then I have to make a charter. There are only two, this is the first one, the two of them can do their best, but don't let me go and let me wait to lose my interest, and the other one, if you hurt anyone, don't shout grievances. By the way, if the two of you have better swordsmanship, then the Zhan Lu sword will belong to whom, since it is a divine sword that will choose the master, naturally he will not choose a defeated general, unless it can speak. Hahahaha! ”

Chen Zheng stood up abruptly and said, "Prime Minister Fang just said two regulations, how can I listen to the focus on the last one?" The prime minister's words outside the words of the plank road and the dark Chen Cang are really well-intentioned! ”

Ba Qing was stunned: "How does Brother Lu know about the plank road?" That plank road is really dangerous, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will kill the baby. Could it be that Brother Lu has been to Shu County? ”

“……”

Wei Wuji sat there and waved his arms up and down: "Okay, okay! If you want me to say, it's a good thing that two old brothers are learning swordsmanship, and we are here to feast our eyes, but how did it become so complicated? Later, the two of them will be there, Zhan Lu Jian, whose should it be or whose it is, everyone will get together and disperse, so it will be decided. ”

Fan Sui heard that Wei Wuji was pulling a bias here, and it seemed that he had overturned the rules he had just set lightly, and couldn't help but refute: "Xinlingjun, although you and I are both from Wei, I want to ask, is this still Qin?" Is it still the prime minister of Qin? Am I still the prime minister of Qin? How can there be any reason to take back what the prime minister said, tonight in front of everyone in my prime minister's mansion, where do you let Fan have face? ”

While the others were arguing, Wang Jian slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, threw the scabbard to the ground, and smiled at Li Mu: "They fight for them, you and I are better than you and mine, how about it?" ”

Li Mu held his sword and arched his hand: "Then accept it!" ”

When the aftersound of the word "了" in Li Mu's mouth had not yet dissipated, Wang Jian held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword stabbed straight at Li Mu.

Before Li Mu could draw his sword, he had to take a step back and use his scabbard to block the oncoming blade.

Unbeknownst to him, Wang Jian didn't give Li Mu a chance to breathe at all, and the sword in his hand swept diagonally upwards towards Li Mu's front door.

Li Mu dodged in the direction behind Wang Qian, although Wang Qian's sword swept into the air, at this moment, it was slashed down from top to bottom, the force was extremely fast, and the sword qi became more and more powerful.

Fan Sui couldn't care about the quarrel anymore, and seeing that Wang Qian, who was on the offensive, seemed to have the upper hand, he applauded: "Okay! This is the demeanor of the Great Qin Kingdom, good! ”

Chen Zheng shouted: "Li Mu be careful! ”

Li Mu just flashed a sword from Wang Qian, and Wang Jian picked the tip of the sword up and stabbed it out again.

Li Mu took two steps back, and before he could stand firmly, Wang Jian actually stood up, and a sword qi swept in.

At the last moment, Li Mu pulled out the sword in his hand and raised it horizontally above his head, and after the impact of lightning, Li Mu was once again forced to retreat a few steps by Wang Qian's fierce attack.

Wang Jian stabbed the tip of the sword straight at Li Mu's face door one after another, Li Mu dodged and retreated, and when Wang Jian was about to chop the sword again, Li Mu seized the opportunity and hit Wang Qian's right hand holding the sword with the hilt.

Facing Li Mu, who was always on the defensive, Wang Jian thought that Li Mu was still going to retreat this time, but Li Mu counterattacked with one end of the hilt of the sword, and the hilts of the two swords collided, Wang Qian's right hand bounced back under the force exerted by Li Mu, and the people around him exclaimed, it seemed that the sword in Wang Qian's hand was about to be shocked out of his hand.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Qian's right hand holding the sword loosened behind his back, and the tip of the sword fell downward, and it landed firmly in Wang Qian's left hand.

Chen Zheng exclaimed: "Carry the knife!" ”

The people around were still wondering why Wang Qian's sword hadn't fallen to the ground, and Wang Qian's left-handed sword drew an arc and stabbed Li Mu's waist.

Li Mu didn't understand what his eldest brother Lu meant, and he didn't expect Wang Qian's sword to change from his right hand to his left hand behind his back, when he saw Wang Qian's sharp eyes, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but at this moment it was too late to judge the direction of Wang Qian's sword.

In a hurry, Li Mu grabbed the scabbard with his left hand, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword pulled out the sword, and at the same time, with the action of drawing the sword, the top of the hilt hit Wang Qian's head.

At the moment when Wang Jian retreated sharply, Chen Zheng shouted again: "Li Mu, Shuanglong flash!" ”

I saw that Li Mu's right-hand sword was completely out of the scabbard, and after the blow missed, the sword body was about to slash towards Wang Jian who was retreating, and Wang Qian's attention was all on the sword in Li Mu's hand at this time.

Wang Jian was glad to have dodged Li Mu's counterattack with a sword, and suddenly felt a sore wrist in his left hand holding the sword, and the sword was immediately taken off. Looking closely, it turned out that after Li Mu finished splitting a sword, with a twisting movement, he not only dodged his left hand sword, but also smashed his wrist with the scabbard, and the whole action was done in one go, looking so crisp and neat.

Fan Sui looked at Chen Zheng with an angry face: "Brother Lu, what are you shouting on the side?" ”

Chen Zheng saw that Li Mu had won, and a stone in his heart finally landed steadily, and smiled at Fan Sui: "I saw that these two brothers were very different, and I couldn't help but blurt out." ”

Li Mu returned the sword in his hand to the sheath, waved his hand and beckoned a waiter to hand the sword over, and the waiter picked up Wang Qian's sword and scabbard, and put the two swords back on the sword stand.

Wang Jian walked up to Chen Zheng and arched his hand: "Brother Lu, can I return the Zhan Lu Sword to Brother Li Mu on behalf of Prime Minister Fan?" ”

Chen Zheng stood up, hesitantly looked at Fan Sui, who looked embarrassed, and then at Wei Wuji, who nodded and smiled, picked up the Zhan Lu sword from front of him and handed it to Wang Qian.

After Wang Jian took the sword, he walked to Li Mu and stood still, held the sword in both hands and bowed down: "Since this sword is an ancient sword, it is naturally destined to be held by people, and I also ask Brother Li Mu to take back this sword, so that he can treat it well, the sword does not live up to the people, and the people do not live up to the sword, so as to not waste the opportunity." ”

Li Mu arched his hand and said: "General Fang Cai Wang has a lot of concessions, and the junior brother admires it." Then he stepped forward and held the Zhan Lu sword in his hand.

Wang Jian turned around and returned to Chen Zheng, bowed down and saluted: "I didn't expect that Brother Lu has a lot of experience in swordsmanship, what Brother Fang Cai said about carrying a knife and double dragon flash, I don't know where it comes from?" Please also ask the eldest brother to give advice. ”

Li Mu also looked at Chen Zheng with expectant eyes.

Chen Zheng thought to himself, if I were to seek defeat in Dugu, I would have found a mountain in the Warring States period a long time ago, while occupying the mountain as the king, I held a sword on the top of the mountain every day and waited for the thunderbolt to strike, why bother with all this effort!

"Why do you want to stand still, if you really want to listen, you might as well return to your seat and listen to me slowly."

Li Mu and Wang Jian returned to their respective seats, and everyone present looked at Chen Zheng silently.

"Hehe, I'm just scratching the surface. The move made by Brother Wang Jian is exactly the same as the swordsmanship master of the Western Regions, the 'Back Car Knife', that is, the sword changes hands behind the back and gives the opponent a fatal blow. However, this person has a more powerful move, as if it is called 'one side of the heart', and he can kill the opponent with the murderous aura in his eyes. ”

Wang Jian said excitedly: "How can I find this person?" ”

"This person has gone mad because of countless killings, and he has been killed."

Wang Jian asked: "Since such a powerful person can be killed, wouldn't the person who killed him be even more unfathomable?" Who is this man? ”

Chen Zheng smiled: "This person is the descendant of the Flying Imperial Sword Stream, and the trick made by Li Mu just now is similar to the 'Double Dragon Flash' of this genre." ”

Li Mu was stunned: "Flying Heavenly Sword Flow? Could it be that if you learn this and what kind of sword flow, you can be the first in the world? ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said: "No, there is no number one in the world in this world." ”

Fan Sui, who had been listening quietly, interjected: "It seems that there are really a lot of strange people and wonders in the Western Regions. It's just that Brother Lu said that there is no world number one in the world, what is the reason? ”

"Someone who is mad and obsessed with being the first in the world does not know that the truth of the world is that one thing descends to another, and the weak will be destroyed by the strong, and the strong will be defeated by the weak. For example, if an invincible peerless master is defeated, the person who will defeat him in the end must be weaker than him. Because the one who reaches the strongest will stagnate and retreat if he does not advance, while the one who is weaker than him will do his best and swim against the current. In fact, there is only one real opponent for everyone, and that is himself. The true meaning of the Flying Edgeworth stream is not in how powerful the moves are, everything that has a move is destined to be defeated by a more powerful and faster move. ”

Wang Jian said: "What is the mystery that Brother Lu said? ”

"It's about having a loving heart. You need to know that swords and fists are not used to fight fiercely, let alone hurt people, but to help people. As a person, we must have a position and determination, do something and not do something, and don't waver when we see the power of evil prevailing, or even go with the flow and collude. You must know that the power of evil often seems to be the most powerful, and the force of justice is always in a predicament, but no matter how long the darkness to be experienced in this world, no matter how arrogant those wicked people are, the final result will always be that light replaces darkness, justice defeats evil, and those who are possessed by darkness and evil can only set fire to themselves in the end. ”

Xunzi smiled and said: "No wonder Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" will reach the hands of Brother Lu, it seems that Brother Lu has the essence of Lao Tzu's 'weak is better than strong'!" The old man also asked, how is the heart of benevolence? ”

Chen Zheng arched his hand and said: "How dare you talk in front of Mr. Xunzi, it's just a little experience recently." The so-called benevolent heart, can it be relieved by the invincible and loving world? The invincible benevolence means that everyone in the world is regarded as one's teacher and friend, and as a person who helps oneself grow, so that one's mind will suddenly be enlightened and opened. Don't stare at the gains and losses in front of you and suffer from gains and losses, and be unconscious, but to live in the temple is high and worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about its king, and it is your responsibility to help the right and eliminate the evil, and help the weak and the poor. ”

Ba Qing seemed to understand whether he understood or not: "How can Brother Lu suddenly say so many Taos, which makes people so confused!" ”

Wei Wuji looked at Huang Xie, whose eyes were straight, and said with a smile: "Chun Shenjun, you asked Brother Lu to go to Chu State, it's still too late to regret it at this time." ”
