Chapter Forty-Six: The Sword Conference
"Speaking of which, Brother Qian hasn't told me what the hell is the matter with you looking for the Sword Saint heir?" Lao Wu finished telling his story and suddenly remembered a question.
So Qian Yunyue simply told Lao Wu about the cause and effect, but omitted the matter of Xuanyuan City, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. He just told Lao Wu that he heard that the heir of the Sword Saint was in Tianyu Mountain, so he wanted to go to learn sword skills and use it to fight against strong enemies, but he came here in the wrong place, but he didn't expect to really meet the heir of the Sword Saint.
This time, Chang Lao Wu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he thought for a long time, and said: "To deal with the peerless fierce demon Chi You, it is useless to learn ordinary sword skills, and the only feasible thing is the Heavenly Sword Gate's peerless learning - the art of the imperial sword." But...... The ancestor of the master taught that the art of the sword cannot be learned by the heir of the master......"
It turned out to be the art of the sword, Qianyunyue was overjoyed, but when he heard the second half, his heart was half cold, he actually had to be the heir of the head of the family to learn, and as the heir of the fist saint, he went to other sects to learn the arts, he couldn't do this kind of thing to discredit his ancestors, it seemed that he could only rely on himself. Although he didn't know if the mad sword duel and the sword that the Yellow Emperor taught him could fight against Chi You, he had to do his best now.
Lao Wu looked at Qianyunyue apologetically, but Qianyunyue didn't care very much, he didn't expect to learn any peerless sword moves, but he felt that since Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor proposed it, there would definitely be some plots, so he came with the mentality of taking a look. Although I couldn't learn the sword skills, I finally got to know the heirs of the Sword Saint, and it wasn't for nothing. And he should be able to help Lao Wu heal his injuries, be good at others and be kind to himself, and maybe he will need Lao Wu's help in the future.
Then Qian Yunyue searched in his backpack for a long time, he had too many pills in the Xuanyuan Palace, and he didn't know what else was there, and after turning over for a long time, he really found an elixir that could renew the meridians.
Heavenly Immortal Life Renewal Pill, with dead bones and flesh, broken veins and then continued, the magic effect of resurrection, use effect: instantly restore 100% health. Cooldown time is 5 minutes.
This thing is just a life-saving recovery medicine for him, but for Feng Dingwu, it is a healing elixir. It's just that NPCs are different from players, and they can't be eaten to take effect, and it takes time to heal.
Lao Wu looked at this elixir and was so excited that he was speechless, he thought that he had been abolished in this life, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance to recover. Although his eyes were about to fall out, Qian Yunyue repeatedly said that he would give it to him for nothing, but he didn't dare to take it, after all, he couldn't do the other party's request, and now he gave him such a valuable item, how could he be embarrassed to accept it.
Qian Yunyue didn't bother to talk to him, just put the medicine on the table, and continued to drink, he was thinking, anyway, there is still some time, if you can't learn sword skills, do you want to go to Wanjian Mountain to try it, since someone can watch the sword and comprehend success, why can't he, with his current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to get the top three.
Lao Wu looked at the pill on the table, struggled in his heart, pondered for a long time, and finally seemed to have made some decision, picked up the pill, looked at Qianyunyue Zhengse and said: "Brother Qian, I Feng Ding Wu owes you a life, if there is a place that can be used for me in the future, just open your mouth, and never give up." ”
"Brother Wu is serious," Qian Yunyue waved her hand, "You quickly take the medicine and heal your injuries." ”
Lao Wu nodded, came to the corner of the room and sat down cross-legged, swallowed the medicine, and began to heal his wounds.
Qian Yunyue also came to the bed and sat down against the wall, he couldn't find a safe area in the wilderness recently, but he rested like this when his fatigue was too high, in case something happened and he could improvise. The human ability to adapt is really strong, and he now feels that he has gradually become accustomed to the way of life in this world, and more and more like a real adventurer.
When he woke up, Feng Dingwu still maintained a meditative posture and did not move at all, but his face was obviously much better, no longer the sallow face, and a trace of blood had gradually emerged, it seemed that this pill was still quite effective.
Qian Yunyue didn't bother him, and quietly left the house, he remembered that Xiao Er of the wine house said that today was the day of the Sword Conference, and he decided to join in the fun.
It is worthy of a monthly event, early in the morning the street is already full of people, there are people who participate in the war, look at the lively, today many shops are not even doing business, all of them went to see the sword conference, Qianyunyue also mixed in the crowd, followed all the way to the venue.
"Yo! Guest, you are also here to participate in the Sword Debate. Qian Yunyue actually ran into the shopkeeper of the wine house, and they directly set up a simple stall on the edge of the venue, and the business was very hot.
"Oh? Do you remember me? "Qianyunyue is a little surprised, there are so many people in and out of the wine house every day, and the memory of this shop's little two is very good.
"Of course, there are not many people who are so generous as the guest officer." The shopkeeper greeted him attentively, "Do you want a pot of drunken flowers today?" ”
Qian Yunyue nodded and found a place to sit down, although there was still some distance from the ring, but with his eyesight, he could naturally see clearly, and it was better to sit and watch slowly than to stand there and squeeze human meat cookies.
He looked around, most of the people bought wine and took it in their hands, and there were only a few people sitting in this stall, but also, people who were not high enough in martial arts could see clearly from such a distance, so they were all crowded into the ring, and those who could sit here and watch the battle were naturally not idle people. But he didn't care, poured himself a glass of wine, and waited for the opening of the conference while drinking.
After about a stick of incense, a bearded man jumped into the ring with a gong, and with the sound of a gong, the venue gradually quieted down.
"Friends from *, welcome to everyone, today is the monthly sword conference of my sword capital, I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. Contemptible Sword Casting Hall Ma Jiujiang, thanks to your love, I am honored to preside over this conference......"
Qian Yunyue couldn't stand this kind of opening statement the most, in the past, when he was in reality, he could hear him dozing off every time he had a meeting. But fortunately, Ma Jiujiang didn't talk a lot of nonsense, and after a brief speech, he began to introduce the rules of this conference.
There is an entry area not far in front of the ring, where you can go on stage to compete by paying the registration fee. And a simple platform was set up directly behind the ring, and three Taishi chairs were placed, and three people sat in each other, which seemed to be the judges.
Zhao Chengfeng, the first owner of Sword Shadow Villa, has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
Ma Sanping, the second master of the Sword Casting Hall, is good at using a set of fierce fire swordsmanship, and is also a famous contemporary sword casting master.
The third Streamer Pavilion Master, Huangfu Feiyan, was a woman, and it was said that her Streamer Sword Technique was soft and elegant, like a dance, but those who had been taught knew that this set of swordsmanship was not as gentle as it seemed.
I didn't expect the three judges to be here this time, it is said that they all stood out from the Sword Conference and went to Wanjian Mountain to watch the sword and understand before they reached today's achievement. In recent decades, it has basically been the swordsman association who has dominated the sword conference, and few foreign swordsmen have been able to rank in the forefront.
Qian Yunyue smiled, this business is doing well, a natural area like Tianyun Mountain, if you really want to say that it belongs, it is also from Dongsheng Kingdom, although the empire also has officials stationed here, but basically the Swordsman Association is managing the town and holding this kind of conference, in the name of maintaining order, it has not only started the reputation of the Swordsman Association, but also made money, and the benefits are basically taken by them.
The standard for judging the victory or defeat is that one party voluntarily surrenders or the judges judge that it is unable to continue fighting, and no human life can be taken in the ring. If there is no winner or loser at the end of the day, the judges will judge according to the situation of the battle. As long as you can win three consecutive games in the challenge tournament, you can qualify for the finals, with a total of 16 finalists, and then the draw group knockout round, and the winner in the semi-finals will directly determine the qualification for the mountain, and then the remaining two will compete for the last position. After the introduction of the rules, the sword conference officially began.
I saw a young man in a white robe with an extraordinary bearing first jumped into the ring, first saluted the three judges, and then hugged his fists to everyone and said: "Zhao Yuwen in Xiajian Shadow Villa, please give advice." ”
Zhao Chengfeng nodded, Zhao Yuwen is his youngest son, he has just turned eighteen this year, and he has already obtained his Shadowless Sword Seven True Inheritance, although Zhao Yuwen has been clamoring to participate in the Sword Conference a long time ago, but Zhao Chengfeng loves his son very much, for fear that his younger son will make a mistake, this time it is really difficult, and Zhao Yuwen does have some strength now, so Zhao Chengfeng agreed to let him participate.
"Qingzhu sent Tian Yehong to come to receive the teaching." A strong man jumped into the ring and saluted with his fists in his fist. The Qingzhu faction is also a well-known sect in the Swordsman Association, but there is still a certain gap compared to the Sword Shadow Villa, in just three rounds, a sword was placed on Tian Yehong's neck, and everyone cheered. Zhao Yuwen put his sword into the sheath, nodded to everyone, and continued to wait for the next challenger.
Qian Yunyue nodded, this Zhao Yuwen's kung fu is okay, the basic skills are very solid, and he is worthy of being from a famous family, and the level of this sword conference is considered to be a certain level in the world. He is not in a hurry to get on stage, there are 16 places in the final, and the time is still early. He looked at the other people sitting in the wine room, all of them were calm and relaxed, and they had no intention of leaving.
Zhao Yuwen defeated the second challenger without a hitch, and he only needs one more win to qualify for the finals. After all, Zhao Yuwen was young and vigorous, and he was a little proud. At this time, a giant man stepped into the ring.
"Lao Tzu has no door and no faction, and Hu Lao Er is also." The giant man carried a giant sword and said in a rough voice.
Zhao Yuwen frowned, where did he come from, but he was a child of a family, so he naturally had to maintain his demeanor, and said with his fists clenched: "Please Brother Hu for advice." ”
Hu Lao Er didn't talk nonsense, he directly raised the giant sword and swept over, Zhao Yuwen jumped back lightly and dodged the blow, Hu Lao Er didn't have any moves, just raised the big sword in his hand and waved it randomly, and everyone booed again and again. Zhao Yuwen dodged while looking for an opportunity to get close, this Hu Lao Er seems to rely on brute strength, there is no swordsmanship at all, Zhao Yuwen will naturally not be stupid enough to hit hard, as long as he finds a flaw, he can defeat the enemy with one move.
Qian Yunyue frowned, he felt that this Hu Lao Er was not as simple as it seemed, it seemed to be a random swing, but every sword could force Zhao Yuwen to dodge, that is, no sword was missed. However, it is impossible to tell whether this person is doing this on purpose, or whether he is really a reckless man.
At this time, Zhao Yuwen on the stage had already felt the pressure, although the opponent's every attack did not hurt him, but all of them shrouded him, so that he had to dodge back and forth all the time, and this person had been holding such a giant sword for so long, he didn't see the slightest fatigue, he just dodged, and he had already begun to sweat slightly.
Zhao Chengfeng on the judges' bench was also anxious, originally thought that it was just a mountain village man who didn't know where he came from, and he could be sent away in three or two clicks, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky, he naturally saw the subtleties, but there was no way to remind him.
The two were at a stalemate back and forth, and most of the incense had been burned. Zhao Yuwen was a little anxious, and finally couldn't hold it back, and after dodging Hu Laoer's horizontal swing, his body sank, and he rushed forward, directly in front of Hu Laoer.
Qian Yunyue shook her head, still too young.
Just when everyone thought that Zhao Yuwen was going to win, unexpectedly, Hu Lao Er shook it with his backhand and slashed back with a sword. Zhao Yuwen was shocked, he didn't expect Hu Lao Er to react so quickly, and hurriedly raised his sword to block it, blocking it, but the difference in strength was too big, Zhao Yuwen spurted out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and flew out like a rag.
"Wen'er!" Zhao Chengfeng was shocked, and rushed over regardless of his identity, Zhao Yuwen had already fainted, Zhao Chengfeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't attack, the sword in the ring had no eyes, and Hu Lao Er did not violate any rules, this battle was his victory. Zhao Chengfeng glanced at Hu Lao Er hatefully, and went home to heal his injuries with Zhao Yuwen, and Zhao Dongshan, the chief housekeeper of Sword Shadow Villa, replaced him as a judge, and the sword conference continued.
