Before coming to the cave, Zhong Wuregret couldn't suppress the exclamation in his heart, and unconsciously sighed: "It's really a blessed land for immortals!" ”

At this time, the sun has come out, only to see the green reflecting the morning glow, the green smearing golden glow, the gusts of wind are coming, and the bamboo waves are rippling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNot far from the cave, a waterfall, like a silver dragon swinging its tail, spraying jade and scattering beads, falling from the sky. There is a stone wall next to it with two big characters written on it: "Wash sorrows".

When I entered the cave, I saw that there was a hole in the cave, as wide as a house, and there were all kinds of household utensils inside.

The old woman in black was busy herself, and after a while, gruel, green bamboo shoots, mountain mushrooms and other fragrant mountain delicacies were placed on the table.

The old woman in black said with a sad face: "Because of the fault of the old body, the little man is overly hungry, please use the gruel first, and then go to make up for it after the spleen and stomach are reconciled." ”

Once the knot was untied, Zhong Wuregret knew that the old woman in black wanted to know about the situation of the old man Xiong Ke. After hastily using two bowls of porridge, he put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhong Wuregret said cautiously: "The juniors don't know much about the seniors, and the master rarely mentions the seniors, so I don't know if the seniors can say one or two things about you, so that the juniors can feel at ease." ”

The old woman in black sighed and said, "You keep calling me senior, do you know how old I am?" ”

Zhong Wuregret and Neng Yan shook their heads: "I don't know!" ”

The old woman in black smiled bitterly: "I can't even believe that I saw myself by the water." I'm not even forty, and the old man Xiong Ke you call is just over fifty. ”

"What?" Zhong Wuregret and can be surprised.

"That was more than a decade ago." After that, the old woman in black fell into a deep memory.

About ten years ago, the appearance of a young swordsman broke the tranquility of the stagnant martial arts of Chu State and caused turmoil in the entire martial arts, and this swordsman was called Xiong Ke.

Xiong Ke can be described as a martial arts genius, he relies on self-mastery, but his martial arts are rival to the celebrities and factions in kendo. He believes that the strong barriers between schools are caused by the routines of their respective genres. The so-called routine. It's just a combination of different offensive and defensive skills. The so-called cheats are rare talents in the genre, and occasionally in a flash of thought, they come up with a routine based on their own school. And it is a strange move to break away from the routine of this school. It is not surprising to see too much, so it is not revealed when it is not critical, which creates a sense of mystery.

And each genre is a guarantee of its own success by snooping on other people's tricks, so the strict protection creates the mystery and preciousness of the cheats. In order to prevent the exposure of the cheats of this genre. Each faction only awarded one or two to those who were loyal and strong in martial arts, which hindered the development of swordsmanship in the Chu State.

Among the various schools of Chu State, there are many masters of the older generation, which is the result of the integration of their rich experience and martial arts in the life-and-death struggle against the enemy. However, once they became famous for creating genres and accepted disciples, they began to fear that failure would bring shame on their genre.

As a result, most genres are senior. Sorting by the eldest and youngest, on the one hand, it shows the etiquette and religion of the genre and maintains the reputation of the genre. On the other hand, in order to maintain the backbone of the genre and not make the genre distorted in the future. However, most of the older generation formed a fixed concept, resting on their laurels, and regarded themselves as the first in their own martial arts, and did not hesitate to invite celebrities in order to strengthen their prestige among their disciples. Citing scriptures and borrowing historical arguments, in the name of seeking this school.

Disciples learn martial arts, and one move and one style cannot be out of shape at all, and occasional innovation is denounced as apostasy. Defeated by the enemy. He didn't investigate the reason for his own failure, but just pretended to be impassioned and denounced his disciples for being stupid in order to cover up his incompetence.

Then, move out of their own history, real and apocryphalic heroes. Looking forward to the past glory of this sect, in order to inspire the enthusiasm of disciples to continue to practice martial arts. Therefore, in addition to the extremely talented disciples in the school, the real masters are basically from the orthodox eyes of the 'crooked and heretical' people.

Xiong Kedong its drawbacks, another way, he read a lot of books, wandered the world, devoted himself to the study of fencing skills in various countries, and then took yin and yang as the key link, and followed the way of natural law and the weak. In terms of martial arts, with the aim of "practice makes perfect, skill can give birth to gods, and gods can be biochemical", when facing the enemy, unscrupulous means, the combination of qi and technology, confusing its eyes, confusing its heart, attacking and defending like antelope hanging horns, no trace can be found.

Within a few years, he fought all over the world with a sword, challenged the famous swords and celebrities of various countries, used a sword to prove his own views, and sought experience in every battle. As a result, the more you fight, the more courageous you are, the more you win. It's good to say if you win the battle, but he openly declared that the stubbornness of the Kendo school of Chu State is the biggest obstacle to the development of martial arts, and their so-called strict rules and precepts are just cultivating "martial arts".

The shaking of authority is the beginning of turmoil. As soon as Xiong Ke's wild words came out, he immediately annoyed the so-called famous swordsmen of all sizes. However, these swordsmen all returned under his sword. The more this happens, the worse Xiong Ke's reputation becomes.

In fact, Xiong Ke is just a little too paranoid, because there are real masters who haven't played against him. They were in an indifferent mood and devoted themselves to the way of the sword, unwilling to be used by the princes and participate in the bloody disputes of various countries. Gaoxia Xianweng, who was praised as the "Sword Saint" by the swordsmen, is such a master, Gaoxia Xianweng has been invincible for decades, and his opponents are all from unconvinced to admire, and finally to reverence.

Later, the Gaoxia Immortal Weng was already obsessed with alchemy, and he was extremely indifferent to the competition in the world and the struggle for fame and position. He looked at it indifferently, but his granddaughter, Wu Lingxiao, who was the proud daughter of the kendo generation, couldn't help it.

Zhong Wuregret and Neng Yan only knew the name of the old woman in black.

She was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at the time, but among the swordsmen of various countries, she had already become famous, her swordsmanship was the true legend of the sword saint Gaoxia Xianweng, and she was extremely beautiful, I don't know how many young people attracted the attention of young people, but she was arrogant, whether it was the son of a noble prince or a famous disciple, she disdained it.

Xiong Ke's actions annoyed the swordsman's arrogant woman, and in the swordsman's defeat, she tried her best to encourage Gaoxia Immortal Weng to teach this boy who didn't know the height of the sky, but Gaoxia Immortal Weng was very indifferent to the battle, as long as the other party was not a violent person who endangered one side, what if he won and what if he lost? So, Wu Lingxiao went down the mountain alone and singled out Xiong Ke.

Although Xiong Ke is over 30 years old, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face is like a crown of jade, he travels through the loess of various countries, and the wind and rain of wandering rivers and lakes only sharpen his tenacious character, and does not damage his Confucian beauty at all.

As soon as Xiong Ke saw Wu Lingxiao, he knew that she was Yi Hai. I was amazed by Wu Lingxiao's superb swordsmanship, and I liked her frank and persistent temperament. Every time they meet, they can't bear to be heavy because of unspeakable reasons, and they automatically admit defeat after an unprecedented draw.

However, Wu Lingxiao didn't appreciate it, he must meet him with him, wherever Xiong Ke went, Wu Lingxiao chased after him, but he didn't expect that the contest of martial arts had become an indispensable part of the lives of the two. Later, when I didn't fight for a day, I felt an indescribable sense of loss in my heart.

In the end, the contest between the two valleys became their private lifelong oath. At that time, the Shuangjue Valley was not called the Shuangjue Valley, but the Four Seasons Valley, because in one day, you could feel the heat and coldness of the four seasons in the valley.

Xiong Ke gave the ancestral jade phoenix hairpin to Wu Lingxiao as a love object.

Although he is a child of the rivers and lakes, this lifelong event must be approved by his parents, and Xiong Ke is alone and doesn't care about it. Wu Lingxiao had to go back and report to his parents first. The two agreed that they would meet in the Four Seasons Valley three months later, this jade phoenix hairpin was originally a pair, Feng Fengmad gave Wu Lingxiao a phoenix hairpin, and next time he will bring the phoenix hairpin to Wu Lingxiao, and the two hairpins will be one, and it will be a marriage proposal.

Who knew that when Wu Lingxiao's parents heard that their daughter was going to marry a public enemy of the sword, they were furious, not only did not agree to Wu Lingxiao's marriage, but also imprisoned her.

In March, Xiong Ke didn't see Wu Lingxiao in Mochiyue Peak, and after wandering for three days, he was about to leave the Four Seasons Valley when he met Wu Lingxiao, who had escaped from home. Wu Lingxiao told Xiong Ke about his parents' complaints.

After Xiong Ke thought for a long night, he asked Wu Lingxiao to go back and tell his parents that he would seek a position in the palace, and three years later he would pick up Wu Lingxiao here and marry her.

After Xiong Ke became King Cheng's bodyguard, he brought a letter to Wu Lingxiao, telling her that he had become King Cheng's guard in the palace. Since then, there has been no news of Xiong Ke on the rivers and lakes.

However, Gao Xia Xian Weng is very open-minded, he thinks that an unknown junior can defeat so many masters, which means that there is a breakthrough in swordsmanship, which is a good thing for swordsmen, even if that nameless junior is a bad star, it doesn't matter, the pressure of survival will force all schools to study martial arts and find a way to win. After this tribulation, kendo will be more vibrant.

After a long time, under the guidance of Gaoxia Immortal, Wu Lingxiao's parents also agreed to her marriage, and waited until the three-year period, so that Xiong Ke would marry Wu Lingxiao.

In the past three years, Wu Lingxiao no longer went out, either learning witchcraft from her aunt or learning alchemy from her grandfather, but when Wu Lingxiao came to the Four Seasons Valley, he didn't even see Xiong Ke's shadow.

One three, two three years, three three years have passed, but Xiong Ke is still nowhere to be seen. Since then, Wu Lingxiao's temperament has changed greatly. After she ran away from home and changed the Four Seasons Valley to the Double Absolute Valley, she has been living in the valley.

She'll hang some ruthless and unrighteous people here to warn the world. I also like to torture some of the so-called affectionate couples who broke into the valley one by one, and watched them have no affection in life and death. But the world seems to confirm her thoughts: there is no unswerving true love in the world.

She has personally witnessed how many people swore to live and die together at the beginning, but when they were really tortured and threatened with death, they all wanted to sacrifice each other to keep themselves. The more disappointed she became, the more crazy and paranoid she became.

"However, if I really meet very few people who are willing to live and die together, I will let them go after I torture them, anyway, I have a lot of panacea here." Wu Lingxiao said: "However, it is the first time that I have met such a son and a young lady with such deep affection. ”

Neng Yan glanced at Zhong Wuregret affectionately, and at this time, Zhong Wuregret suddenly remembered something important.

Zhong Wuregret remembered that the old man Xiong Ke had said that his life was not long, but Wu Lingxiao was proficient in medicine, could he use her elixir to save the old man Xiong Ke? So, he told Wu Lingxiao his thoughts.

Wu Lingxiao sighed and said, "After you find him, bring him as soon as possible, I can try my best, but the witch doctor has a saying, healing the sick does not heal the life." With that, his face was full of melancholy.

Zhong Wuregret knew that she wanted to see Xiong Ke and was afraid of his ambivalence. When they parted, she was a beautiful girl, but when she said goodbye, she was like an ugly old woman in her seventies and eighties, and she was afraid that after meeting, she would ruin her good memories in the mind of the old man Xiong Ke.
