Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Conversation Between the Strongest Swordsmen
The North, the Far North.
The endless slicing of snow and ice between heaven and earth, the howling wind mixed with the sound of countless ice and stone collisions, added a sense of destruction to the coldest and worst zone of the entire continent. Like the breath of death, like the whisper of a snow devil. It's like the end of the world, where countless things are frozen and shattered.
This is the depths of the Snow Devil Belt, a place that no one has reached for thousands of years in the history books.
Two snow-covered men walked in this forbidden place, seemingly unafraid of the mythical warnings of the forbidden human foot.
It were two men, one of them wearing a white mink robe, carrying a giant sword behind his back, and his expression was colder than the cold wind, as if he was enduring some kind of torment. It's not because the wind and snow are too urgent.
Rather, it was because of another man next to him...... was singing, and the singing voice of a Nine Leaves Peak Realm master was harsher than the cold wind cutting ice and snow.
The man was dressed in a blue coat with a sword at his waist, and he had sung no less than ten tunes since he stepped into the land.
Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan. Two of the strongest swordsmen on the continent. Ning Wuxie's expression was even colder now than just now. Everyone in the world knows that the hermit likes music, but few people know about the vulgarity of music. The thing that Ning Wuxie, who was good at music and rhythm, regretted the most at the moment was that he did not choose to let the sword ghost or the founder master Zhang Tianshi come together, but chose this Yun Cangxuan, who had an extremely strange taste in music and rhythm, to come together.
Ning Wuxian is very tolerant, but he rarely chooses to endure.
"Master Yun, Ning suddenly wants to ask for some questions about kendo."
"Master Ningmen, don't panic, wait until I finish singing this song." Yun Cangxuan continued to sing ugly tunes.
"There is no time to wait." Ning Wuxian insisted.
"It's going to be over soon." Yun Cangxuan is still the same.
Ning Wuxian suddenly hated that the momentum of the wind and snow was not urgent enough, and the sound of the wind and snow was not loud enough.
After Yun Cangxuan finished singing, Yun Cangxuan didn't care about the frost and snow in his mouth, and seemed to be still reminiscing about his masterpiece from the previous moment, and then he asked, "What does the Lord of Ningmen want to ask?" ”
The roots of the ears were finally cleared, and Ning Wuxian said, "It's okay." But then he realized that if he didn't find something to talk about, he would soon have something to do.
"Master Yun, this time I went to this polar realm, and I need to save my physical strength." The strongest man in the world is not clever in his ability to talk awkwardly.
Yun Cangxuan said with a smile: "It is really Yun's fault that the Lord of Ningmen was tortured along the way, but Yun had to sing." ”
Ning Wuxian was curious: "Why? ”
Yun Cangxuan said: "When I am nervous and scared, I want to sing a song, and I sing ten songs in a row, which means that I am extremely scared." ”
Ning Wuxian carefully looked at Yun Cangxuan, who was covered by frost and snow, and saw that Yun Cangxuan was breathing steadily, his expression was leisurely, and he looked half scared. But Yun Cangxuan said it again very seriously.
"Master Ningmen doesn't need to be suspicious, Yun is really scared in his heart at this moment."
"Who is afraid?" Ning Wuxian asked.
"Snow Devil, I explored the heavens and the earth with my sword heart, and I could sense that we were very close to the target, that is, what the Lord of the Ning Sect said in your sect that day was very likely to be true. This land, known as the inaccessible land of the Nine Leaves Realm, my Nine Leaves Peak, can be regarded as stepping into the coffin with one foot. Yun was really scared. Yun Cangxuan said very honestly.
Ning Wuxian was silent, his realm was far above Yun Cangxuan, and the extreme intention realm was several times that of the peak realm of the Nine Leaves, and he naturally sensed the breath of a certain behemoth.
It was some kind of monster, not a monster that symbolically described human horror. It's a real, real monster.
The power contained in it is by no means stoppable by the realm of extreme intent. Even Ning Wuxian himself felt depressed, so after hearing Yun Cangxuan's words, he nodded and said, "You should be afraid." ”
Yun Cangxuan said: "Lord Ningmen is also afraid? ”
Ning Wuxian responded: "I wasn't afraid, but when you said this, Ning was also a little scared." ”
Yun Cangxuan smiled bitterly: "Shouldn't Yun be more afraid?" ”
Ning Wuxian said: "Fear does not mean cowardice, it can make people spare no effort to exert their strength." This land is known to be able to freeze to death in the Nine Leaves Realm, I don't know who this saying came from, but that person must be a mediocre person. ”
Yun Cangxuan savored Ning Wuxie's words, and suddenly understood.
"Lord Ningmen thinks that strength and weakness have little to do with the realm."
Ning Wuxian said: "This truth should be understood by the Yun Sect the most. The sword ghost has entered the extreme intention, and the predecessor Ye has entered the extreme intention many years ago, but these two people are ranked fifth and sixth in the martial arts list, and Zhang Tianshi is the peak realm of the Nine Leaves in the eyes of everyone, but Ning Mou concluded that he has entered the extreme intention, and Master Fang Zheng has already entered the extreme intention, so Ning Mou does not need to say much. ”
Yun Cangxuan smiled, Rao is in his thirties, and he is respected as a sword god, but he is also a little embarrassed to be praised by the strongest person in the world, but fortunately, in the wind and snow, the faces of the two are very pale.
"Five of the six strongest people in the rivers and lakes are extremely willing, and Yun Zhangmen, as the only person in Ye Zhijing, is not ranked last, but ranked fourth, which in itself says everything, and Ning also believes that whether it is me or Yun Zhangmen, even if you and I retreat from another realm, the top of the rivers and lakes is still you and me."
Yun Cangxuan said: "Lord Ning has a high opinion of Yun. These words should be on the Lord of Ningmen, appropriate, but there is still a huge gap between me and your Lord Ningmen. ”
Ning Wuxian is not modest, or he is humble, but he is not a lie. He said bluntly: "If I were at the peak of the Nine Leaves realm, you and I would naturally be inseparable, but now that I have entered the extreme intention, you are indeed not my opponent." ”
Yun Cangxuan didn't care, but still said: "This threshold is not easy to cross, it needs talent and destiny." There are times in this world where destiny is more important than talent. ”
As a person who has crossed that threshold, Ning Wuxian understands that the Extreme Intention Realm needs some kind of mental opportunity. Yun Cangxuan's talent for sword dao was the strongest person Ning Wuxian had ever seen, even better than the peerless master he had seen outside Lotus Sky City many years ago, the peerless master who had defeated half of the martial arts.
It's just that Yun Cangxuan didn't encounter such an opportunity.
"Maybe your fate is no longer in the hidden word. Maybe your previous choice was wrong. Ning Wuxian said.
"Perhaps." With a free smile, Yun Cangxuan's eyes looked to the north.
"But I'd rather someone not believe in destiny. Destiny should be up to oneself, not heaven and earth. Ning Wuxian said suddenly.
"I thought words like my fate should not have appeared at our age." Yun Cangxuan said.
"Naturally, most of the people who say this are relatively young, and most of them are naughty children in the academy, ruffians and hooligans on ****, either to show domineering, or to add some blood, but it seems a little ...... Two. Ning Wuxian said.
"Hahahaha, what a two." Yun Cangxuan suddenly realized that the martial arts overlord in the eyes of the world was not a boring person who only knew how to become stronger.
"As we get older, the words that I felt full of blood in the past will become a little vulgar, a little second, and even a little distorted. If a person does not believe in the destiny of heaven, when he is a teenager or a teenager, he will probably say that my destiny is up to me, but it is actually immature, and if he is in his twenties or even thirties, and still does not believe in the destiny of heaven, he will change to a more stable statement, such as fate is in his own hands, for example, there is no destiny in this world, and for example, living in the present and following his heart. ”
Yun Cangxuan put away his smile, he could tell that Ning Wuxian was not teasing. The enemy in the deepest part of the wind and snow is too terrifying, and perhaps the way of the sword is the way to overcome Ning Wuxie's fear. The world says that Ning Wuxian is a hegemon, but what kind of sword is the overlord's sword? Yun Cangxuan also wanted to know.
"Because of the change of experience, because of growth, people will become more and more in pursuit of a moderate and stable, and no longer arrogant. Even if he may still be sticking to his original intention. But a change of language is a compromise in itself. The sharpness that was unloaded was evidence of his fear of fate. ”
Why do you say such words when you are young and vigorous, and why do you use relatively euphemistic words to express the same words many years later? It's just because it's no longer vigorous, but it's just because I don't dare to say it too sharply. ”
Yun Cangxuan took a moment and nodded, admitting that his words made sense.
"The process of countless people's life is the process of compromising with the destiny of heaven, they slowly change from my destiny to follow their own hearts, slowly become living in the present, and then slowly become trying to control their own destiny, they have gone through many processes, seemingly unchanged, but in fact they have been changing, and finally become reverence for the destiny of heaven, choose to accept their fate."
"And I'd rather someone disdain to be such a person, don't say that now I am thirty years old, that is, I am seventy years old, when it comes to my attitude towards the destiny of heaven, I am still my destiny is up to me." Ning Wuxian is proud.
This is a heart-to-heart conversation, Yun Cangxuan knows that this arrogant and domineering Ningmen master is actually not absolutely sure that he can survive this trip to the northern realm, so what he said is what he has always believed in his heart. In such a cold and snowy place, there is no need or need to restrain one's temperament.
A person who does not believe in the destiny of heaven, when he is young and vigorous, how normal it is to say that my destiny is up to me. But if a person who has reached the age of establishment, a person who stands at the top of the entire martial arts, a person who has seen countless battles and conspiracies, and a person who is at the highest place in the entire rivers and lakes regardless of wisdom, martial arts, heart, vision, and power, if such a person can still say such things so calmly, it is indeed extremely rare, or even unique.
Yun Cangxuan was solemn. Innocent but evil, the sword of the sharpest person in the world is a sword, and the famous sword is a giant sword with no blade, but this sword has become a sword that can cut everything in the world because it fell into the hands of Ning Wuxie.
And the famous sword blowing snow is known for its sharpness, but Yun Cangxuan, a contemporary sword god, cultivates the way of a hermit, but he has a lot of things that he keeps cutting.
The world is a hermit and elegant, unrestrained. But the world doesn't know, if it is really unrestrained, why do you need to deliberately hide? Yun Cangxuan still remembered that in the Imperial Capital Inn of the Martial Arts Conference, the overlord Ning Wuxian once had a conversation with Li Nianyun, the lord of Yunci Valley, about the heroes of the world, and when he talked about himself, there was a sentence.
The word hidden is a cage.
He recalled this sentence for a long time, and at this moment, listening to the first person in the world talk about his attitude towards the destiny of heaven in the wind and snow, he suddenly realized a little.
Yun Cangxuan admires Ning Wuxian even more, this person knows how to be introverted, but he can be sharp, this person acts domineeringly, but he can make people willing to get close, this person is full of enthusiasm and is not afraid of the destiny of heaven, but he is meticulous and old-fashioned.
If such a person is a friend, he should be the most reliable friend in the world, and if such a person is an enemy, he is definitely an enemy who makes people worry all the time.
For this martial arts overlord, Yun Cangxuan chose an attitude between friends and enemies.
Rival.
If a person can understand you like your most reliable friend, and can be the enemy who understands your weaknesses the most, then this person must be your confidant, and the best confidant is also the best opponent.
"If the two of me can get out of this storm alive, there will be a battle between the two of us in the future." Yun Cangxuan knew that there was still a big gap between him and Ning Wuxian now, because the realm was different.
Even if Ning Wuxian is at the peak of the Nine Leaves realm, he can also crisscross the rivers and lakes, and most of the people who are ranked behind Ning Wuxian think that Ning Wuxie is strong in the realm, but in fact, even if Ning Wuxian is in the cultivation of the Ye Realm, in Yun Cangxuan's opinion, he can still go to the top three positions in the world.
When Yun Cangxuan admired Ning Wuxian, in fact, Ning Wuxian also admired Yun Cangxuan.
In Ning Wuxie's opinion, Yun Cangxuan was purer than himself in a certain aspect. It was something that was hard to say, but he felt that perhaps after the enemy in the depths of the extreme cold appeared, he would be able to see the cloud that was not bound by the hidden words.
"If the two of me get out of this storm and snow alive, there should be a battle in the future, but before that, you have to promise Ning someone one thing." After Ning Wuxian said a lot of things about the Mandate of Heaven and dispelled the fear in his heart, he suddenly considered an unspeakable but very serious issue that involved his image.
Yun Cangxuan said curiously: "Lord Ningmen said. ”
"I hope you keep what I said today confidential, I'd rather someone, cough cough, although I don't believe in the mandate of heaven, and have always followed my destiny by myself and not by heaven and earth, but this can't be known to the people of the rivers and lakes, which will make people feel that someone Ning is very ...... Two. Ning Wuxian suddenly turned his head to look at the wind and snow elsewhere.
"Hahahahaha Yun Cangxuan laughed. The heroic laughter can't even cover the wind and snow.
Ning Wuxie's expression turned cold again. Yun Cangxuan's laughter came to an abrupt end.
"Okay, Brother Ning, rest assured, rest assured, Yun is a very measured person." Yun Cangxuan couldn't help but smile. I just felt that this martial arts overlord was much more interesting than I imagined, and unconsciously, even the shouting became closer.
The snow devil is a mythical existence in the world, and this time these two strongest swordsmen in the world joined forces to enter the snow devil area in the far north to get rid of the snow devil.
Although these two are both human powerhouses with the ability to cause landslides and tsunamis, they are still unsure in the face of an existence like the Snow Devil. It's just that the two of them in the fierce wind and snow in the extremely cold place, after a conversation, the fear of the snow devil finally slowly disappeared.
Ning Wuxian does not believe in the destiny of heaven, and naturally does not believe in gods and demons. But what could make the strongest man in the world feel terrified before the battle was not the ethereal legends and myths, but that he and Yun Cangxuan both really felt the powerful aura of that behemoth.
The closer you get to a minute, the colder it gets.
But Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan didn't stop. The place where they came now was the same place that Khredub had visited, but Khredub did not dare to go any further.
Heredub did not believe in a god in this world, but he was afraid of the unknown.
But rather innocent and cloudy are not afraid of the unknown. Especially when the two join forces, it is impossible to say how much courage each other has given each other, but both believe that no matter what monsters and unknowns in this world, these two will be able to defeat them together.
There are many myths, some people yearn for them, some people fear them, some people don't believe in them, and Ning Wuxian's unbelief is a little different, he wants them to exist in his heart, because only in this way can he overcome those gods.
He hated himself for being born late.
Failed to meet Chi Yannan when he was young, failed to meet the boat ferryman and dragon vein warrior in the Anhai Shoal, he met only one strong man, the one who defeated half of the martial arts outside Liankong City.
That is, Chenhui's master, Chensha.
Chen Sha was also in his thirties at that time (Note 1), and Ning Wuxian was only sixteen years old at that time, so Ning Wuxian had always maintained the most grand and proud attitude towards the Mandate of Heaven. Because he wants to transcend the mythologized characters.
He admired Chensha, he learned a lot from the short conversation when he saw him outside the Lotus Sky City, but he also longed to surpass Chensha, he couldn't defeat half of the martial arts yet, but he believed that he could enter that realm before the age of forty.
Above the extreme intention - true martial arts.
And he also believes that whether it is a dragon vein warrior or a boat ferryman, he can surpass those myths in the next few years. Khredub, the king of Tieli, was an atheist, and his atheism was only due to a simple lack of belief in God. But Ning Wuxian is different, his atheism is not because he doesn't believe it, but because he doesn't care.
To be precise, this fateful martial arts overlord is a theocide, it is naturally good that a god does not exist, and if it exists, it is also non-existent if it is destroyed.
He longed to meet those people, to meet the ferryman who conquered Anhai with a leaf boat, to meet the dragon vein warrior who cut off the national fortune of Chu with several swords, and also longed to meet Chensha again, although he learned that Chensha was dead, but he also longed to meet the person who could kill Chensha.
After detecting the aura of the mythical snow demon, Ning Wuxian had a little fear, but it had absolutely nothing to do with cowardice, and at this moment, he was full of fighting intent.
Companion Yun Cangxuan has always understood one thing, he is a battle powerhouse who can cross the realm and defeat his opponent like Ning Wuxie, but if he can't find that opportunity, he will eventually lose to Ning Wuxie's first-line realm.
Although for these two, the realm is not the most important. But in the face of Ning Wuxie, there must be no weakness.
During this trip to the snow, he had also been experiencing fear, because he was weaker than Ning Wuxie, he could feel the powerful pressure of the snow devil even more. But now, Yun Cangxuan smiled, and his face that was a little stiff from the cold looked extremely strange when he smiled.
"It seems that Master Yun has also overcome his fear of snow demons." Ning Wuxian said.
"A strong opponent can benefit from even if you don't need to make a move, just a confrontation. I believe that Lord Ningmen is the same. Yun Cangxuan said.
Ning Wuxian nodded, agreeing with these words.
"I have pursued hidden characters all my life, and I want to be a swordsman who is beyond the world, so that my swordsmanship can not be bound by any rules in the world, and even jump out of cause and effect, but I have never known how to achieve such swordsmanship." Yun Cangxuan said.
"Now you know?" Ning Wuxian once said that Yun Cangxuan might be able to create the strongest swordsmanship in a thousand years. He had always believed so. Therefore, even if Master Zhang Tianshi's attainments are above Yun Cangxuan, the opponent in his mind is still Yun Cangxuan.
"It's still unknown, but I suddenly felt an opportunity, maybe my chance is in this wind and snow."
"If that's the case, I'm looking forward to it."
"I'm looking forward to it too, so, Lord Ningmen, let's speed up."
"Reasonable."
The proud, two-man walked to the deepest part of the Snow Devil Zone with a more ethereal gait. But Ning Wuxian quickly broke away from such heroism.
Because between heaven and earth, the strange song of Yun Cangxuan sounded again.
"Master Yun, didn't you overcome your fear?"
"I forgot to say, Brother Ning, Yun sings when he is scared, and he also sings when he is happy."
“…… Master Yun, why don't we continue talking......"
(Note: Yun Cangxuan is thirty years old, Ning Wuxian is thirty-two years old, and Chen Sha is actually forty-six years old, and Chen Sha is actually thirty years old when he sees Ning Wuxie, in fact, he broke through the True Martial Realm earlier than Ning Wuxie, but Chen Sha has become a symbolic representative after all, although Ning Wuxian is not as talented, he can actually go further.) This is one of the things that this story is trying to show.
There are quite a lot of scenes of this war, and my favorite is the shot of Chen returning to save Xiao Liuli and the shot of Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan, phew, slip of the tongue, these two shots. Ning Wuxie, who killed a few Ye Realm masters without saying a word when he first appeared, scared Bai Gu so much that he didn't dare to speak, it looked extremely cold, but it was too cold to be real, so the Ning Wuxian in my heart was a little bit of the middle two, and in this chapter today, it was a one that looked domineering, but it was a little cute in the domineering, so it was more real, as for Yun Cangxuan, the aura of this chapter was lost to Ning Wuxie, but the awakening of the sword god would be mentioned later when the two of them dealt with the snow devil, and it was an existence that was truly worthy of being Ning Wuxie's opponent, The next shot won't be these two. Well, about this martial arts overlord and sword god, although this hot chapter has broken their image of being a bully and cool, I hope you will like it more, haha. The number of words is slightly too much, don't blame it~)
(End of chapter)
