Chapter 14: The Prestige of the Sword God
The next day, Duan Yi and Zhuo Xiaohui rode horses for more than an hour and came to the Leiyin Tower, which is about two hundred miles away from Mingjian Villa, located on the outskirts of Nanchang City, and the capital of the late Southern Tang Dynasty was in Nanchang. Among the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Southern Tang Dynasty was actually relatively good in terms of economic strength, second only to the Song State, just because Empress Li emphasized literature and light martial arts, and only knew how to compete with the powerful Song State in poetry and lyrics.
Duan Yi observed around the Leiyin Tower, the Leiyin Tower is dozens of miles away from Nanchang City, the surrounding area is desolate, uninhabited, there are many cobwebs in the tower, weeds are reborn, but the dust is not very much, you can see the traces of someone coming, it should be that the Mongolians have come.
Duan Yi paid special attention to whether there were any secret room switches or anything left, and after looking in the tower for a long time, he found nothing, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Xiaohui, I haven't found anything after looking for so long, why don't we go back."
"Well, seven months later, it will be my father's fortieth birthday, and I will have a banquet for martial arts people from all over the world, Brother Duan, you can go too."
Duan Yi nodded, he himself wanted to meet this sword god Zhuo Tianfan, who was strong in martial arts.
After going back to say goodbye to Fang Tianxiong, the two set off, Zhuo Xiaohui's home is in Shanxi Shangdang, and there are still seven months before Zhuo Tianfan's fortieth birthday, so the two decided to go on a chivalrous journey and find someone with strong martial arts along the way, as long as they can arrive a few days in advance.
Duan Yi didn't plan to use the name "pit viper", the two of them showed their names along the way, punching bandits and bullies, slashing martial arts scum, and their names became louder and louder.
Unknowingly, in July, seven days before Zhuo Tianfan's fortieth birthday, Zhuo Xiaohui took Duan Yi back to his home, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a man in his fifties, holding a sword in his left hand, and glaring angrily at a middle-aged man about forty years old at the door.
I only heard the man in his fifties shouting: "Zhuo Tianfan, you dare to speak out and claim that you are the best in the world in swordsmanship, then you have to ask me if the sword in the hand of Cao Haitong, a sword in Hebei, agrees." “
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Cao Haitong attacked with a sword.
Na Zhuo Tianfan was not afraid at all, and waited for Cao Haitong to attack with determination.
When Cao Haitong was about to attack, he saw Zhuo Tianfan's long sword stand up, and a foot of uncertain green mangs suddenly appeared on the tip of the sword, Cao Haitong's long sword had not yet been attacked, and he was chopped off by Zhuo Tianfan's sword on the hair towel on his head, and his hair was messy, this was still his subordinates showing mercy, otherwise he would be hit by the sword, and even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
This Cao Haitong, that is, a second-rate character, lost to Zhuo Tianfan in one move, and his face suddenly turned like ashes.
"The surname Zhuo, you are powerful," Cao Haitong said viciously, picked up the long sword, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Duan Yi opened his eyes this time, and finally saw the legendary sword mang, the sword mang, which is a sword qi emitted through the sword in his hand with deep internal force, which has great power, but it is extremely consuming of internal force.
Zhuo Bufan, the sword god in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, can send out a sword ray, but it can only send out a distance of half a foot, just now this Zhuo Tianfan sent out a foot of sword light, it seems that his internal force is deeper than that ancestor.
It turned out that Zhuo Tianfan posted a martial arts post half a year ago, inviting martial arts people to his 40th birthday banquet in a high-profile manner, and claimed to be the best in the world in swordsmanship.
"The first swordsman in the world" immediately attracted many swordsmen in the martial arts to be unhappy, who in the martial arts does not value a false name, this little-known person in the martial arts actually dares to call himself the first in the world in swordsmanship, and does not take himself in his eyes at all.
So, in recent months, there have been nearly 100 sword masters who have come to challenge them, among which there are Lingnan Shuangjian Hou Zhifang, Hebei Yizi Sword Ding Luhai, Taiyuan Cold Sword Han Detachment, Luoyang Wujie Sword King Zhongli, etc., most people can't take Zhuo Tianfan's one or two moves, and the best swordsmanship is just seven or eight moves, but so far there is no congenital master among these people who come to challenge, and the name of Sword God is still a little lacking.
In just a few months, Zhuo Tianfan was originally an unknown person, but now everyone in the martial arts knows as long as he pays attention to the movements of the rivers and lakes.
"Wow, wow, daddy's swordsmanship is the best in the world," I saw Zhuo Xiaohui clapping with both hands, smiling with a smile on his face, and ran to his father.
"You little girl, you used to be at home every day to go out to explore the rivers and lakes, in the past year, have you suffered in the rivers and lakes?" Zhuo Tianfan has defeated hundreds of people recently, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is already in a good mood, but when he saw that his daughter finally came home, he also smiled.
Zhuo Xiaohui laughed coquettishly: "Daddy, your daughter has strong martial arts and superb swordsmanship, and there are several people who are her opponents!" ”
"As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, you must not be careless when walking on the rivers and lakes, there are many people whose martial arts are higher than you."
"Even if there is someone whose daughter can't solve it, isn't there still Brother Duan, or did he call me your daughter again and again" Zhuo Xiaohui pointed to Duan Yi behind him.
Zhuo Tianfan carefully observed Duan Yi and saw that he was less than twenty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, and extremely handsome; Looking at his daughter's expression again, he immediately understood that his daughter had fallen in love with that kid.
"In the next Duan Yi, I have seen Zhuo Daxia."
"Okay, let's talk about it first."
Zhuo Bufan's home is very much like a manor, covering a wide area, Zhuo Tianfan only focuses on his own martial arts and teaching his children's martial arts. Zhuo Xiaohui has an elder brother named Zhuo Siling, who is two years older than her, and was born to Zhuo Tianfan's other wife, Chen, and usually the family's livelihood is taken care of by Chen and the manager.
"Duan Shaoxia, thank you very much for taking care of the little girl all the way, I don't know Duan Shaoxia, who is the respected teacher? Where is home? ”
Duan Yi said without humility or arrogance: "Zhuo Daxia, I don't even know who my parents are, just because I was accidentally injured a few years ago and was rescued, I lost my memory after being injured. ”
"Then I don't know how Shaoxia's martial arts cultivation is now?" Zhuo Tianfan already had some good feelings when he saw that Duan Yi was handsome and chic, and his bearing was extraordinary, but if he didn't have a certain ability, he didn't want to be his son-in-law, and he had the heart to test Duan Yi.
"Daddy, Brother Duan is amazing, his martial arts cultivation is not much worse than you, otherwise how can he protect your daughter along the way!" The person she liked was not in a hurry, so she was in a hurry first.
"It is estimated that my martial arts cultivation is probably in the middle of the innate stage" Duan Yi is very confident in himself, even if you are the best in the world of swordsmanship, if you try it, I may not necessarily lose to you.
