Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ghost Swordsman

-Hutton-Marr-

Long Ming walked on the street of Huttonmar with Feng Zhen's letter, and walked towards the destination step by step according to the route on the letter. The passers-by of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info pavilion looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, probably because of Long Ming's blood-red left hand, after all, Long Ming's left hand is different from that of normal people, and it is more hideous than ordinary people's hands, and people will inevitably alienate him.

"Is he a ghost swordsman? Why don't you see his sword? A pedestrian whispered to the person next to him, his finger pointing at Long Ming covertly.

"I don't know, let's not discuss him, I heard that the temperament of the ghost swordsman is very strange, let's go farther! If he goes berserk, he might even attack us! The companion next to the pedestrian also whispered, took the pedestrian's hand and left, avoiding Long Ming like a plague.

Long Ming didn't speak, and continued to walk his own way, although he heard what they said, but he had heard such words more than a million times, and he almost had a cocoon in his ears. If you listen to too many words, you will become numb, whether it is nice or bad.

I don't know when some of the hands on the Arad continent suddenly turned blood-red, after the appearance of this strange hand, even people with a very docile personality will become very irritable, often attacking the people around them uncontrollably, and at the extreme, the people who are mutated will become red all over their bodies, just like blood-red ghosts. Fortunately, the alchemists of various empires later caught these people and studied them carefully, and finally found a way to suppress the spread of the blood-red ghost hand to the whole body, that is, the iron rings and chains tied to the ghost hand, but no matter how hard the alchemists tried, they could not find a way to eliminate the symptoms on the arm.

After that, if anyone's hand changes, they can find the nearby alchemist's mansion and ask the alchemist in the mansion to install these magical iron rings for them, so that they can avoid the tragedy of losing their minds and killing the people next to them.

Because most of the deviant people were swordsmen and knights, at that time, people had the impression that swordsmen and knights tended to hold weapons in one hand, shields in the other, or weapons in both hands. But these swordsmen who escaped the threat of the demon hand did not obey this path, and preferred to hold the sword in one hand, probably because their left hand was severely cursed by the demon god, right? Therefore, I had to choose the method of holding only the weapon to avoid unnecessary impact on the left hand. This group of people called "ghost swordsmen" by the people of the Arad continent are very brave and good at fighting, and are often the decisive force, so the great powers often pay rich honorarities to hire these people, so that they can form an army of ghost swordsmen to become the spearhead of the attack on the empire.

Human beings are always so ignorant and fearless, although the losses caused by ghost swordsmen when they lose their minds and are difficult to control are often huge, but this kind of horror has not hindered their research on "ghost hands" in the slightest, and those who are infected by ghost hands are not willing to be isolated like this, only to keep looking for ways to become stronger, because the Arad continent is also a world where the strong are respected, only if you become stronger, you will naturally be obeyed by others. Finally, one day, someone found a way to control the ghost hand, and these people used the unique power of the ghost hand to become more powerful than other swordsmen, and the ghost swordsman school was born.

Unconsciously, Long Ming came to the destination on the letter, and a not very tall house appeared in front of him, the house was not as grand as the Fengzhen Dao Pavilion, and because it was built in a corner, few people knew its location, if it weren't for the guidance of Feng Zhen, Long Ming would not have known that there would be such a small house in this remote corner. There is nothing surprising about the small house, it is the same style as the house on the street, and even more dilapidated than the house on the street.

Long Ming came to the door and knocked lightly a few times, thinking about what kind of hidden master would live inside, but after a while, there was still no sign of the door opening, and Long Ming knocked again a few times but no one responded. Long Ming walked to the broken window next to the house and looked inside, the house was empty, not like a person.

"Maybe no one is home, so just wait!" Long Ming thought so, and then sat down next to the door, and through the alley, he could see that people were busy coming and going on the street outside.

This is an afternoon, the sun has sunk, the dim light shines on the house seems so lonely, the people on the street are no longer as many as at noon, sparse, maybe have already gone home, right?

"There may be no one today, so let's come back tomorrow!" Long Ming propped up his body and prepared to go back.

"Young man, look at how long you've been waiting here? Did you decide to return in vain? As soon as Long Ming was halfway there, an old voice sounded behind him.

Long Ming stopped scolding, turned around, and saw a one-year-old old man sitting where he was sitting just now. The old man was a bald head like Feng Zhen, with two red straps tied to his eyes, and he shouldn't be able to see what was in front of him, but now his face was facing Long Ming. Although the old man had a pale beard, judging from his strong body, he was not old at all. A tattered gray cloak enveloped half of his body tightly.

When did he appear? Why didn't you feel his presence just now? Could it be that he is the GSD that Master Feng Zhen said? A few questions appeared in Long Ming's heart, Long Ming's perception ability was not bad, but he didn't perceive the existence of the old man just now.

"Do you know Mr. GSD?" Long Ming asked the old man sitting on the ground.

The old man didn't answer, he raised his head to face Long Ming, but the strap tied his eyes, I don't know if he could see Long Ming's appearance?

Long Ming wondered why the old man didn't speak, "Is it because you're afraid that I will lie to him?" I'll go, am I like a guy who would lie to the old man on the street? If it were Ling Feng, that kid might be, right? ”

"What are you looking for GSD? Who called you here? The old man said unhurriedly, no longer looking up at Long Ming, but holding his head high at the sky that was already close to darkness.

"That...... Master Feng Zhen recommended me to come, do you know who the owner of this house is? If you don't know, I'll bother you. Long Ming explained why he was here to dispel the old man's doubts, and guessed that the old man might just be an ordinary person who really didn't know where the person named GSD was.

"Oh" was recommended by that guy Feng Zhen? Haha, in fact, there is no gentleman here, GSD is just a name for the old man! The old man turned his head to Long Ming again, and at the same time laughed and introduced his true identity, it turned out that he was the person Long Ming had been waiting for.

Long Ming came to GSD, handed over the envelope handed to him by Feng Zhen and handed it to GSD's hand, GSD opened the envelope, and a small flat black inside fell into GSD's hand, GSD touched it carefully for a while, and then received the iron piece into the robe.

"It seems that Feng Zhen really recommended you to come, let's say, what did that kid recommend you for." GSD said to Long Ming, it seems that he really believes that Long Ming was recommended by Feng Zhen, so the black iron should belong to the category of tokens, right?

"Poof!" Long Ming knelt down on one knee in front of GSD and said, "I'm here to ask you to make me stronger, please help me practice my swordsmanship!" ”

"Hahaha!" GSD laughed wildly when he listened to Long Ming's words, "Getting stronger? Do you think you can get stronger with the help of others? What a naïve child! If you want to become stronger, you can only rely on yourself, and I feel the aura of your body chaotic, should I be very confused? How can a person who is in a period of confusion go far in the way of the sword? GSD continued to laugh maniacally.

Long Ming bowed his head and said nothing, yes, now he is in a moment of confusion, he didn't expect that what he thought was powerful would be so easy to be defeated by others, it seems that he is too naïve, and he doesn't know how to improve his swordsmanship, so he came to ask GSD. But it's not enough for Sora to have a brain that wants to become strong, it must also have a mind that is not confused.

"You should be a ghost swordsman! I can feel the aura of young ghosts and gods from your body, it should be that you haven't been cursed by ghosts for too long, but the aura of ghosts and gods in your body is like when you were a baby, it seems that you haven't made good use of this ghost power, and you are just an ordinary one in Kazan syndrome! GSD continued, not facing Long Ming.

Long Ming was very ashamed, and continued to bow his head and remain silent, not expecting that he would be seen through by the person in front of him all of a sudden.

"Young man, since you are a ghost swordsman and want to practice swordsmanship, do you know how many schools there are now ghost swordsmen?" GSD continued to ask.

Long Ming's face was slightly red, he really didn't know much about this, because he had always been a loner, and he didn't take the initiative to understand the things on this continent, and he didn't communicate with other ghost swordsmen. He had been cultivating alone all this time until he met Ling Feng and the others.

"I'm ashamed! Please also ask the old gentleman for your advice. Long Ming lowered his head and said to GSD.

"Haha! What a naïve child, ghost swordsmen like you are really rare now, bent on becoming stronger, but don't know the direction of becoming stronger. Well, then the old man will teach you a lesson! GSD said with interest, "The ghost swordsman appeared on the continent more than 50 years ago, and at that time, people were not able to freely control themselves who were eroded by the power of ghosts and gods, and they would often attack the people around them, and later because of ......"

"I still know this, let's get straight to the point!" Long Ming said.

"Oh, funny boy, it doesn't seem to be completely ignorant! But don't worry, I'll introduce you to the main schools of ghost swordsmen on the Arad continent now! GSD paused for a moment and touched the beard on his chin, and Long Ming listened attentively.

"First of all, the berserkers, just a kind of ghost swordsman who took the initiative to contact the seal on his arm and accept the control of the ghosts, they have almost completely lost their minds, lost themselves, lost their feelings, and in their minds, only strength is everything! Although they usually look no different from normal ghost swordsmen, they are easily provoked, and when they go berserk, their eyes will turn blood-red, followed by destroying everything around them until their anger subsides. Because they give up too many things, they also have a lot of power to get correspondingly, and they have explosive power and speed, which can be regarded as first-class among many ghost swordsman schools. But they often kill, and there is always a thick blood aura around them. I'm willing to do anything to get power! Or even sell my soul! This sentence can be said to be a true portrayal of a berserker! ”

"Then there are the sword souls, among the ghost swordsmen, the ghost swordsmen who dare to fight against fate, strive to get rid of the influence of the ghost hand, and are keen to study the weapons in their hands and their cultivation methods, will become sword souls.

They did not succumb to the invasion of ghostly energy, and were devoted to the cultivation of weapons, so that the right hand holding the weapon turned white. Could this be the ultimate martial arts? There are people with such a personality in the world. Whether they have a weak heart or a missing leg, no matter how bad their conditions are, they will relentlessly challenge themselves to do what they want to do. In the same way, there are some ghost swordsmen, no matter how bad their hands are holding their weapons, they will never succumb to fate, and they are firmly enthusiastic about the cultivation of weapons and never give up. Among them, those who have reached the limit of various weapons are called sword souls. ”

"The third one is Asura. They are a group of ghost swordsmen who take the initiative to abandon one of their five senses, they have an extraordinary will, and the torture on the hands of the ghost is nothing to them, and they will not give in to the most difficult adversity. They can feel a power called Mind Wave, which is an element different from mind qi and magic, and the asura who can skillfully use the power of wave is not weaker than a magician. They have incomparably noble intentions, and no one can stop them. As long as their hearts, wills, and weapons are integrated, there is no constant obstacle. ”

"The last one is the God of All Demons - Devil May Cry! If you loosen the chain wrapped around your arm, the oni will move freely, so some oni swordsmen will throw away the chain and become Devil May Cry. They are ghost swordsmen who were not conquered by the ghost hand, but tamed it. But Devil May Cry is not optimistic in the end, although Devil May Cry is the same as other ghost swordsmen, but because of his frequent dealings with ghosts, his back is full of evil shadows, and the "ghost energy" behind him often follows him, keeping their souls in darkness forever. They have the title of sorcerer among the ghost swordsmen! ”

"These are the four main schools of ghost swordsmen on the Arad continent now, haha! Boy, do you think you'll choose the swordsmanship of the above school to rest? GSD paused, waiting for Long Ming's answer.

It turns out that the ghost swordsman is still divided into such a school, Long Ming really doesn't know anything, it seems that he is really a frog at the bottom of the well, he didn't expect the outside world to be so vast. But even though there were four choices, Long Ming still didn't know which one he was suitable for, so he continued to bow his head and remain silent.

"It seems that you can't make a choice on the spot, so let me test you, let me see how far your swordsmanship has reached, and let me see what kind of ability you have when the house recommends you to come to the old man to learn." GSD no longer sat down, but stood up, ready to test Long Ming.

"This ...... It's an honor for the old gentleman to be able to test me personally, but my weapon was destroyed in a battle not long ago, and now I am really powerless! Long Ming said.

"Alas! I've never seen a swordsman like you, okay! Then you can find a suitable weapon for you first, but let's duel again, I suggest you go to South Street to find an old man of Sinda, although he is very tugging on the door, but the casting kung fu is still good. GSD walked into the house.

Long Ming looked at GSD's back, and suddenly saw his left hand in his shabby cloak, there were several huge scars on that left hand, and there was a golden rune extending from his arm to his wrist on his left hand, what surprised Long Ming the most was that GSD's ghost hand actually did not have an iron ring and chain to suppress the power of ghosts and gods, could it be that GSD was a berserker? But he didn't have the blood of a berserker as he said he was, and he wasn't very hot-tempered. Could he be an asura? It looked like he was blind...... Or maybe he's a Devil May Cry.

Long Ming looked at GSD's room for a while, it seems that the person introduced by Feng Zhen is not as simple as he imagined, now it's better to find a weapon to take advantage of it and learn his skills again! Then you can find out.

Long Ming strode out of the alley, thinking about the direction of South Street, night had already fallen.
