Chapter 54 Old Books
"Turns out you have another high-grade sword." The Cloud Piercing Sword was stunned for a moment, then shifted the target and responded to Zi Chujian, "Don't dare to give advice, I'm just an old bone." ”
The two high-grade swords were polite to each other, and Zi Chujian usually said very little, so he didn't say a few words.
High-grade swords all have sword spirits, which are full of spirituality and can even communicate with people. Getting a high-grade sword gave Zhao Zheng the illusion that he had accepted a new junior brother, which was a little strange.
"Cloud Piercing Sword, you've been here for many years, and I don't know how much strength you have left, I want to try you in this house, can you?" Zhao Zheng pinched the hilt of the Cloud Piercing Sword, thought of it, and asked frankly.
"I've been in the stone wall for so long, and today I finally see the light of day again, and I'm thinking about moving." The Cloud Piercing Sword said happily.
"Okay, then I'll get started." Zhao Zheng clasped the small sword with his thumb, and the other four fingers formed a palm-shaped, his eyes were condensed, staring at the wall in front of him, and with a little force, he threw the small sword out. Since this was an experiment with the power of the Cloud Piercing Sword, he didn't use too much force in this hand, and more let the Cloud Piercing Sword fly with its own strength.
The cold light flashed, and when the Cloud Piercing Sword flew into the air, a new thrust suddenly gave birth to the sword body, which more than doubled its speed, and then stabbed heavily into the wall, and the sword body pierced into it, only the hilt remained outside.
Judging from the strength and speed of this sword, it can probably hit the martial artists of the Triple Heavens, and I am afraid that it will not work if it is any higher. From this point of view, the strength of the Cloud Piercing Sword is still insufficient, and it cannot be compared with the Zichu Sword. If the Zichu Sword is equivalent to the pinnacle existence of the top-grade sword, then the Cloud Piercing Sword is exactly the existence at the bottom.
Even so. The value of the Cloud Piercing Sword cannot be underestimated. As the saying goes. A starving camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak the Cloud Piercing Sword is, it is also a top-grade sword, if it is thrown outside, it can still provoke countless people to fight for it. Moreover, the Cloud Piercing Sword is still a small sword worn by the Crane Crown Dao people in the past, and it has an extraordinary historical value, which is not found in ordinary high-grade swords. If this inconspicuous little sword is sent to the Taishan faction, it must be offered as a holy object!
Therefore, Zhao Zheng was not disheartened. I wasn't too disappointed, and I still regarded this as a great gain. He walked to the wall, stretched out his hand into a palm, and aimed it at the hilt of the Cloud Piercing Sword, and with a slight shake of his palm, a stream of white, gold, and green condensed internal force erupted from his palm, firmly sticking to the hilt of the sword, forming a great suction. In contrast, the two internal forces of white and gold are very full and solid, as if they were substance. The green internal force is a bit dimmer, but it also has a certain scale. After this period of hard cultivation. Coupled with the double cultivation time in the meditation room, his Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutras became more profound, and Mu Yuan's internal strength increased a lot, forming a force that could be of great use.
"Smack!"
Pulled by the suction, the cloud-piercing sword shot out of the wall, landing on Zhao Zheng's palm, and was grasped.
"Let's try your ability to turn and change direction again." Zhao Zheng gave two general orders in his heart, turned around and shook his hand, and threw the Cloud Piercing Sword out for the second time.
The Cloud Piercing Sword let out a roar, and made a bending action in mid-air, and when it was about to hit the wall, it turned a big bend at a large angle, and flew against the wall, and when it was about to hit another wall, it turned another big bend, and so on several times, and finally flew straight back to Zhao Zheng's hands, showing excellent ability to turn and change direction.
In this regard, the Cloud Piercing Sword is unambiguous, and it is more dexterous than the Zichu Sword. This is probably directly related to its small size, with such a small and exquisite volume, it is easier to turn corners after all, but it is not possible to replace it with the Zichu Sword.
In fact, the place where the Cloud Piercing Sword is cast is to keep it as a hidden weapon, and when it is used, it only needs to inject a lot of internal force into it, and then throw it out, you can turn this small sword into a killing weapon that can attack and injure the enemy on its own!
"Very good, it seems that your 'sword is not old', it is still of great use, if I encounter any trouble in the future, I will have to rely on you to help me a lot." Zhao Zheng took the Cloud Piercing Sword in his hand and said with a smile in his heart.
"From now on, you will be my new master, if you need anything, you can just ask, I will definitely give this old bone to help you." The Cloud Piercing Sword swore an oath. The fact that it has been able to obey the orders of its former master for more than 800 years shows how faithful it is, and a simple promise is enough to reassure people.
Zhao Zheng carefully put away the Cloud Piercing Sword and pondered about the things related to it. After getting the Cloud Piercing Sword, there are four things that should be done.
First, you should do a good job of secrecy, don't disclose the matter of the Cloud Piercing Sword to the outside world, so as not to cause trouble, and it is the most comfortable thing to make a fortune in a muffled voice, which can be seen from the turmoil caused by getting the Zichu Sword; Second, you should find someone to paint this place and fill a few small pits, so as not to arouse suspicion, and this is the former residence of the Heguan Dao people, so it must be respected; Thirdly, a new scabbard should be forged for the Cloud Piercing Sword, and a concealed pocket should be sewn to hold the small sword. The scabbard is such a small thing, the sword slave can be cast, and it is easy to come by and effortlessly. As for the hidden pocket, it is easier to do, Zhao Zheng himself can sew one lavishly;
Fourth, there is another good thing that is not inferior to the Cloud Piercing Sword, and it is time to get it. Although it is not difficult to leave that thing there and can be taken away at any time, if it is delayed for too long, it will be uneasy after all.
……
The next day, Zhao Zheng's figure appeared in front of a three-story pavilion, and he stopped and watched. On the top of the pavilion, there is a plaque painted with gold characters, on which the words "Tibetan Scripture Hall" are written.
Here, it is the place where the Taishan faction stores martial arts cheats, and the three floors are stored with three grades of martial arts cheats as the standard. Among them, the top-level martial arts cheats are the rarest, the middle-level ones, and the lower layers are all rotten street goods.
Elders and ordinary disciples can borrow and copy martial arts cheats from the lower level, and inner door elders and hall masters can borrow martial arts cheats from the middle level, but they cannot copy and copy. Of course, this is only a nominal prohibition, and some people will still violate the rules of the door and copy secretly, as long as they are not discovered, the Taishan faction will not delve too deeply. As for the martial arts cheats of the upper level, the management can be much stricter, because these martial arts cheats are too important, it is strictly forbidden to copy and pass on, once someone violates the rules, they will be punished extremely severely, and the martial arts of the violator will be abolished, and even the punishment will be executed!
It's not that the Taishan faction is too strict, or it's self-cherishing, and other major sects actually do the same. Those precious martial arts cheats are the foundation of a faction, and if they are spread, it will cause a lot of damage to the door. Passing on the cheats in the door privately can be described as a taboo among the big taboos in the rivers and lakes, which will not only cause death, but also be the eyes and spittle of the people in the rivers and lakes.
With Zhao Zheng's status in the Taishan faction, he can only borrow the martial arts cheats hidden on the second floor, and those on the third floor can only be discouraged. For example, in a place like the third floor of the Tibetan Scripture Hall, only the elders like the head of the sect, Le Bu and the Three Musketeers of Taishan can enter and exit freely, and it is difficult for other hall masters to be allowed to enter, if you want to get some martial arts cheats from it, you have to apply in advance, and then you can get it. There is a cumbersome process in between, and it is difficult to get the opportunity to enter the third floor to watch, and even if you can get the cheats on the third floor, you may not be able to get permission to enter.
Zhao Zheng came here today to take away a martial arts cheatbook from the second floor, which is a good thing he is targeting.
Stepping into the pavilion of the Tibetan Scripture Hall, someone immediately stepped forward to ask, although there was only such a person left in the front hall, but it can be seen from this person's bearing, footsteps and all aspects that this person's skills are extremely solid and profound.
The Tibetan Scripture Hall is one of the most heavily defended places of the Taishan faction, and its tightness is even greater than that of the Yuxiang Garden, which is planted with saliva white jade fruits. There are several masters in this, and even one sweeper is much more powerful than Zhao Zheng. And there is a hidden mystery in the pavilion, and there is nothing to see on the surface, but there are all kinds of ingenious changes in the secret. Not only is the interior well defended, but also the geographical location is unique, right in the center of the mansions of many masters, if something happens, a hundred responses, a voice can call several masters to help. The Three Swords Sect has been fighting with the Taishan Sect for so many years, but it has never had the idea of fighting here, which shows the degree of rigor here.
Zhao Zheng made his intentions clear to this man, and then underwent an examination. The so-called inspection is mainly to see whether he is himself, and there are two major aspects to be checked, one is to see whether he is wearing a human skin mask on his face, and the other is to see whether there is any hidden cultivation strength on his body, whether it is pretended to be a master with bad intentions.
After the inspection, the gatekeeper nodded, shouted upstairs with the method of sound transmission, called down another master, and this person took Zhao Zheng upstairs. This person will stay by Zhao Zheng's side and monitor the whole process to prevent Zhao Zheng from stealing martial arts secrets in private.
The martial arts cheats on the second floor are also quite precious, you can borrow them, but you can't steal them.
Zhao Zheng was open-minded, but he was not afraid of being watched, so he exchanged a few words with the master who was in charge of stalking, said some polite words, and then went upstairs first and arrived at the second floor where there were martial arts secrets.
There is a unique smell of books, a mixture of faint ink, the smell of paper, and dust from history. Stopping and looking around, there are bookshelves on all four walls, which are stuffed with all kinds of martial arts cheats, thin, thick, big, small, everything. In addition to martial arts cheats, there are also some books other than martial arts cheats, such as some history of rivers and lakes, secrets of rivers and lakes, biographies, alchemy techniques, pictures of strange beasts, mountains and rivers and other books.
Zhao Zheng came over this time, and the target was those books that were out of the way. He walked over seemingly nonchalantly, walked over to the shelves where the books were placed in the middle of the door, and picked them for a while as if nothing had happened, getting closer to the real goal. After two pillars of incense, he finally picked up the very thick ancient book.
"This book looks quite interesting, so I'll borrow it." Zhao Zheng shook the book in his hand and smiled at the master next to him. (To be continued......)
