Chapter 307: The Old Sword Strip on the Water Demon's Back
The Great River Sword Sect, the disciples of the sect recently, were all terrified.
Because Senior Sister Jing Ning is in a very bad mood, she is in a bad mood, so she likes to find someone to talk to. She has the body of a real dragon, and other people's fists, even swords, don't hurt when they hit her.
Yi Zhan Ning is not a senior sister yet, no matter how high her cultivation is, she is not a senior sister. But when a foreign enemy came to attack, she stood at the forefront and helped the sect defend against foreign enemies. At this time, everyone respectfully called her senior sister.
The current Dajiang Sword Sect, these disciples don't dare to go out, and hide in their own cave mansion to practice. When you go out, you may run into the senior sister, and you may be disturbed by the water ghost in the sect.
At the foot of Dajiang Sword Sect Mountain, there is a water ghost carrying an old sword strip, which is very scary. It's full of anger, it's okay at first, as long as you stay away, it won't hurt anyone. But I don't know what's going on lately, that water ghost is very irritable, and often scatters the sword qi on his body indiscriminately.
There was a disciple who was walking on the side of the road when he was seriously injured by the evil qi. Jing Ning and Liu Fangzhou went to see the water ghost, but there was nothing they could do but ask the disciples not to go out. The current Dajiang Sword Sect, in Tianshui Prefecture, can be regarded as having some cards.
At the foot of the mountain, the disciples of the Shouzong saw two people walking towards the Great River Sword Sect from a distance, and immediately cheered up. In the past, the Great River Sword Sect was in decline, and there were not many guests. Now it's different, after having Senior Sister Jingning, it can be said that all parties worship.
It turns out that Tianshui Prefecture's leading sub-sect, Xiaoxi Sword Sect, is no longer good. Their door master, Yunsheng, was defeated by the monks of the Ice and Snow State, not only did he not expect to be ashamed, but he also closed his door, which was simply a shame.
The Great River Sword Sect is different, I heard that it also defeated the physical cultivation of an Earth Immortal Realm, which is very powerful. And it is rumored that Jing Ning has obtained the true dragon inheritance of Tianshui Prefecture, and he will definitely be a man of the year in the future. Therefore, those high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as the mountain sect, have come to tie up the Dajiang Sword Sect again.
This disciple looked at the original two people, keeping a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
The two people who came were the old sword immortal Yunqi and Xiao Yu. After they left the Paradise Wonderland, they went straight here. Because Xiao Yu has a feeling, her fate is here. She stepped forward and explained to the disciple that she was going to visit the Great River Sword Sect.
When the disciples learned that these two were from Mobei, their eyes widened. In his heart, Mobei is a wild place, and the two people in front of him, this female fairy has such good skin, and her whole life is very smart, how can it be that she is from that place in Mobei?
There is also a white-haired old man on the side, although he is old, but he can't see the slightest sloppiness, he must have been a chic person when he was young. The disciples of the gate took them to the top of the Great River Sword Sect, and Jing Ning was already waiting here.
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known each other for a long time.
The disciple left slowly, and he always felt that something was wrong. After these days, I obviously didn't see the smile of the senior sister, but now that I suddenly saw it, I should be happy. But why, he felt so cold.
I really don't understand.
Jing Ning spoke first, and she said: "Old Sword Immortal and Miss Xiao can come to the Great River Sword Sect, it's really our honor, there has been something wrong in the sect recently, and the hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Without her needing to say, Xiao Yu and the old sword fairy heard the sound of the water ghost howling. Suddenly, the three of them braved the wind and came to the water ghost.
The water ghost was very irritable, staying at the bottom of the water, and from time to time, he raised his head to take a look, looking terrifying. On his back, there was an old sword, rusty. The old sword fairy frowned and said, "This is the water ghost looking at the hometown." ”
Water ghosts look at their hometowns in the coastal area, which refers to those who have unfortunately drowned, and their bones are left without their bones and cannot return to their hometown, looking in the direction of their hometown from the place where they drowned. Water ghosts often bow their heads and hands, but it makes people feel that they are looking in a certain direction, so it is very strange.
Water ghosts, there are also some people who believe that it is the water mountain prince. Most of the depictions of the images of Mizuyama Gong live in the water, look like apes, and have human-like palms. According to the records on the ancient book "Youminglu", this creature is called "water worm", also known as "insect child" or "water spirit", and the folk are mostly called "water monkeys", with a naked human body, different lengths and sizes, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and lips, three or five feet of water, only to be brave in water, and no courage if you lose water.
In the history of idle books and wild records recorded in China, most of them believe that water ghosts are those who commit suicide or die by accident by throwing themselves into the water, wandering in the place of drowning and becoming unjust ghosts. Then wait patiently in the water, tempt or force people to fall into the water and die, to be their own substitute ghosts, and rely on this method to reincarnate and get rid of the suffering of hell.
Seeing this thing, Yun Qi Sword Immortal's eyes lit up, he pointed at the water ghost, and said with a smile: "Look, the old sword strip on its back." ”
Xiao Yu also felt that this thing in front of her was the opportunity that had been attracting her. She had a vague feeling in her heart that the old sword strip on the water ghost was the sword of her life.
She didn't like sheathed swords, and it just so happened that the old sword strip didn't have a sheath.
Yun Qi looked at Jing Ning and said, "Can you let us meet the sect master?" There are some things you want to discuss with him. ”
Jing Ning found Liu Fangzhou, and now the Dajiang Sword Sect is in charge. Liu Fangzhou was also a sword cultivator, he looked at Yun Qi's old sword immortal, and felt the terrifying sword intent on his body, and the pressure was extremely high. Yun Qi's reputation as an old sword immortal, he had heard of it and admired it very much.
Yun Qi glanced at Xiao Yu and said slowly: "The old sword strip on this water ghost, do you know the origin of the Great River Sword Sect?"
Liu Fangzhou shook his head, he didn't know.
Yun Qi said with a smile: "In ancient times, an iron sword was hung under the bridge, and people generally called it the Dragon Slaying Sword. This practice is not a common practice, but originates from some local customs and folklore, so the practice of hanging iron swords on bridges only exists in some areas. ”
"In the past, people would say that natural accidents such as river flooding were caused by monsters, and that there were dragons in the river, and these dragons would be very destructive when they were angry. And building a bridge over the river will make Jiaolong unhappy. If they are not happy, they will rejoice
The wind and waves washed away the bridge. Therefore, at the bottom of the bridge, hang an iron sword, which can deter the dragon and make these monsters dare not make a mistake. ”
This saying is widely spread among the people and has become part of the folk customs, so when people build bridges, they will consider hanging an iron sword, although not every river has monsters, but this practice gives people great psychological comfort. After a long time, it becomes a regional style.
If from the point of view of practical use, this iron sword is an important reference for the water level, the position of the iron sword hanging, generally the apex of the arch bridge, the season is different, the river will appear in the wet period and the dry period, the boat will judge the depth of the river through the distance between the iron sword and the river surface, determine the current water flow situation, whether there is danger.
This kind of judgment can be intuitively judged with the naked eye, and although it is not as accurate as measurement, it is very efficient and very low-cost. Therefore, experienced boatmen will choose to judge the water level by iron swords to ensure safe travel. Therefore, whether in folklore or in terms of practical use, this small iron sword has a very important role. ”
Having said so much, Yun Qi's mouth was a little dry.
In the end, he looked at Liu Fangzhou and said, "I won't hide it from you, the sword on the back of this water ghost is a dragon slaying sword." It should have fallen from a certain bridge, and it happened to be inserted into the water ghost, and for some reason, this water ghost came to the Great River Sword Sect. This sword is an immortal-level sword, and I, a disciple, have a relationship with the sword. I don't know if I can make a price? I bought it from the Beichen Sword Sect. ”
Liu Fangzhou also understands a little.
The sword has always had the reputation of "the king of a hundred soldiers, the weapon of a gentleman". The swordsman, the decision, the break. It must be decided within the seven feelings, cut off the mortal breath, and the inner three treasures can be turbid and as for the pure yang, this is the foundation of sword science, and the inner shell is solid and solid.
Especially when the outside is discouraged, the sound is broken, coupled with the strange change of moves, with the practice of the evening and the sunset, the outer three treasures can be formed, and as for the softness, in addition, the secret practice of swordsmanship, the shell is injected and stable. As for the sword learned in recent times, those who dance with the sword are all fur in the fur, and those who float to the shallow and despised.
The hand is driven by the thunder male electric mother, and the double sword and dragon dance in the sleeve. Taoist kendo practice can be divided into human fairy sword, earth fairy sword, and heavenly fairy sword.
The Earth Immortal Sword, with qi as the sword. Chunyang Zhenren is also Lu Dongbin, who has a set of "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique" from Huolong Zhenren, so he is called a sword immortal. Tiandun swordsmanship is a set of Taoist inheritance, the fire dragon real person inherited the Taiji Immortal Weng Ge Xuan, and Ge Xuan inherited Zuo Ci.
The Heavenly Immortal Sword, with God as the sword. "Xuanyuan Jin Dingwen" has the Yellow Emperor Kongtong asked Guangchengzi, the record of the alchemy sword on the shore of the Dinghu Lake, with the pictogram of the instrument - the straightness of the wood nature, the exercise of fire skills, the vigor of the earth, the rigidity and softness of the gold, the clear decision of the water virtue, the sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains and rivers are engraved on the other side, the general trend of the people of heaven and earth, and the sword of the unity of the Yuan Shen has defeated Chiyou, if it is just a mortal weapon, how can it cut the copper head and iron forehead, the invulnerable god of war and the master.
There will be a dragon sword hanging under many ancient bridges in Datang, and the dragon sword generally exists for a long time.
The sword will be suspended under the bridge when the bridge is built.
According to the "Narrative of Differences", the carp turned into a dragon in a hundred years, the dragon turned into a dragon in a thousand years, the dragon was a horned dragon in five hundred years, and the dragon was a dragon in a thousand years. "The Narrative of Differences" also contains, the five hundred years of the dragon turned into a dragon, the dragon five hundred years into a horned dragon, the thousand years for the dragon, the dragon is the juvenile period of the dragon, and the dragon is a horned dragon.
Jiao refers to a scaly dragon that can cause floods, because there is an animal called Jiaolong, which looks a bit like a dragon, although it cannot take off like a real dragon, but it can cause floods. "Jiao" cultivates for a thousand years, and it will enter the East China Sea along the Yangtze River to transform into a dragon, and this is "walking Jiao".
The so-called "walking Jiao" is Jiao, and there are also a small number of cultivated fish, turtles and turtles, along the main stream of rivers into the sea, the process of "walking Jiao" is generally accompanied by violent storms, rivers swelling, floods and other natural phenomena with great destructive power.
When walking Jiao, Jiao will not fly to the sky, but to run to the East China Sea by water, which will produce a strong impact in the process, causing huge waves, whirlpools, etc., generally there are boats that happen to meet Jiao, often light subversion and sink, heavy is fragmented and collapsed.
Because the river will swell and the embankment will collapse, destroying the farmland and crops along the river. The bridge that people worked so hard to build can easily be collapsed by it. So the common people hung this dragon sword under the bridge, and when the dragon passed under the bridge, they stabbed it so that it could no longer continue to make trouble. There is also a legend that if Jiao crosses the catastrophe (walking Jiao), he will die if he touches the sword.
Liu Fangzhou really didn't expect that there would be such a sword in his own sect. He is thinking about things now, give it, after all, it is an immortal weapon. If you don't give it, it's not good, it's very tangled.
At this time, Jing Ning stepped forward and said with a smile: "If Miss Xiao can get that old sword strip, it will be regarded as a gift from my Dajiang Sword Sect to you." ”
