One hundred and sixty-one times the sword

No matter how many winds and rains it goes through, the giant sword gate in front of the Sword Casting Villa will always stand, and the mottled traces on it have witnessed the rise of the Sword Casting Villa and the passage of time.

The Giant Sword Gate has witnessed many things, and today it has witnessed one more thing. Although this matter is just a small matter the size of a sesame seed for the entire rivers and lakes, it is also related to a person's life and death.

The two carriages ran out of the Giant Sword Gate unhurriedly, and along the gentle slope all the way away from the Sword Casting Villa, to the official road that extended in all directions, raising two clouds of smoke and dust, leaving several rows of wheel prints. In the carriage behind was the urn carrying a man, and the altar was new, and the ashes inside were also new.

The deceased is not someone else, it is Mo Yunzi who just died at the hands of Zhao Zheng a few days ago, no matter what this person did before his death, he has turned into a jar of ashes after his death.

The two carriages would carry the ashes to Moyunzi's hometown, where the deceased would be buried next to the graveyard of his biological father and mother. Mo Yunzi is not very famous in the rivers and lakes, and no one knows the specific situation of his family, only where he is from. After the two carriages arrived at the place, they had to temporarily find out where Mo Yunzi's parents were buried locally before they could bury Mo Yunzi's ashes.

This is a troublesome chore, no one wants to do it, if it weren't for Zhao Zheng's help to speak, Mo Yunzi would never get such a good treatment.

The reason why Zhao Zheng did this has a lot of his own considerations.

Mo Yunzi has a perverse and violent personality, has killed a lot of people, and has done a lot of evil, but it is more or less forgivable. He went mad and killed his biological parents, which led to a series of tragedies in his life. He deserves to die, but a man dies like a lamp goes out. All sins will also be dissipated at this moment.

Zhao Zheng was standing outside the Giant Sword Gate. Carrying his hands on his back. Watching the two carriages drift away, he secretly thought in his heart: "I hope that Mo Yunzi can repay the unfulfilled filial piety under Jiuquan, repay the kindness of his parents, and repay the blood debt that will never be repaid." ”

The words in the heart are not spoken to others, and no one can hear them, so they can only hope that there is a providence in the dark and realize the expectations in the hearts of people.

Zhao Zheng stood alone in front of the Giant Sword Gate for a long time, until the two carriages disappeared from view. Only then did he take a step and prepare to leave. But at this moment, a figure fell into his eyes and attracted his attention.

This person was still a long distance away from the Giant Sword Gate, sitting on a large rock, wearing a dark blue robe, holding a bamboo pole in both hands, and a small rectangular flag on the bamboo pole, on which was written the four characters of iron mouth straight break. He was already very old, and he would have to be seventy to say the least. There were two locks of white hair flowing on his temples, and his eyes were blind. The voice of the two lumps of flesh turned out to be an old blind man.

Although Zhao Zheng was far away from this person, he could still see clearly with the excellent eyesight of the Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artist. He recognized at a glance that this old blind man was the blind fairy who had a relationship in the Temple of Mercy and Grace before, and the other party gave him a calculation, saying that he had a bloody disaster, but he met Mo Yunzi that day, fought with the other party, and was injured, and fulfilled the words of the blind fairy. It can be seen that the blind fairy still has a set of skills in divination.

From afar, I heard the blind fairy shouting: "Count the spirit hexagram, count the spirit hexagram, the great luck hexagram, don't want money if you don't ...... spirit"

Zhao Zheng met the old man by chance, smiled slightly, put away the steps he planned to turn back, and walked towards the blind fairy step by step.

Although he left the Sword Forge Villa after leaving the Giant Sword Gate, although he was only alone, in the dark, there were still several masters by his side to protect him, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked. As a martial artist, it is not good to be bold, and it is not good to be too timid, it is best to stop in moderation.

Zhao Zheng walked very slowly, and his steps were very light, but after taking one step, he slid out more than a foot away, and it didn't take long to reach the blind fairy.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for many days, but I didn't expect us to meet here." Zhao Zheng gave a salute and said with a smile.

The blind fairy raised his head, stared at Zhao Zheng with blind eyes, and after a few breaths, he also smiled and said: "It turned out to be the little brother I met in the broken temple that day, last time I calculated that you had a bloody disaster, I don't know if it was fulfilled later?" ”

"It was fulfilled on the same day, the old gentleman was really clever, worthy of the word "iron mouth", which can be called a half-immortal body."

"The half-immortals don't dare to be, it's just borrowing the magic method handed down by the ancestors to eat."

"The old gentleman is modest, your skills are far more than just eating a mouthful, if you want to appreciate your face, you might as well enter the Sword Forge Villa with me, and I will set up a table of wine and food to entertain you." Zhao Zheng sincerely invited.

"No, no, no merit, how can you eat your son's meal casually." The blind fairy rolled his sleeves and waved his hands again and again.

"The old gentleman calculated the blood light disaster for me last time, how can it be said that there is no merit? I asked you for it, but you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

"Fortune teller to collect money, it is right, I didn't tell you fortune for nothing last time, and I also received three taels of silver from you. The old man is confused in other things, but he is not confused in money matters. If I'm not mistaken, last time I promised that when I see you again, I will do another hexagram for you, and now it's time to make good on that promise. ”

Blind fairy fortune-telling has always been effective, although there is no ghost and god in this world, but the matter of life is another matter. Zhao Zheng was happy to let the blind fairy calculate another hexagram for him, and said happily: "If the old gentleman has time, please bother you to calculate another hexagram for me." ”

"Hehe, the old man travels all over the world, and the four seas are his home, all relying on this ability to tell fortunes to make a living, so he naturally has free time. I'll do the math for you now, ask the five elements, peek into the sky, and see what your future and destiny are. As he spoke, the blind fairy reached into a rag bag, rummaged through it a few times, and grabbed three oil-stained copper coins, which he was about to throw up.

Zhao Zheng stared at the copper coin with wide eyes, waiting for the result of the fortune telling.

But the blind fairy raised his hand and took it back again, without throwing the copper coin into the sky.

"Sir, why did you stop again?" Zhao Zheng asked puzzled.

"I stopped because I noticed that you had something more on you than last time." The blind fairy moved blindly, staring at the Zichu Sword hanging from the side of Zhao Zheng's waist.

Zhao Zheng suddenly understood. He smiled and admitted, "The old gentleman has a good memory. The eyes are good, too. Yes. This is a sword I just got, the name of the sword is at the beginning of the year, and it is being produced in the Sword Forge Villa behind me. ”

"I've been setting up a fortune-telling booth here for two days, and I've heard some rumors about Zichu Sword, so in this way, you are Zhao Zheng who stands out from the ring."

"Exactly down there."

"This sword is domineering, and I feel its extraordinaryness as I sit here, like this kind of divine blade. All have a special fate. In my humble opinion, you don't have to tell the hexagram, but let me 'phase the sword' for you." Although I am not a senior 'Xiangjian Master', I know a little bit about it. The blind fairy proposed.

The so-called "phase sword" is the same as the concept of "face" of people, but the object is different, one is to look at the face of the person, the other is to look at the face of the sword, through the difference in the face, the trend of fate is inferred. And the person who is proficient in the way of the sword is the sword master. This is a very old trade, dating back to the ancient times when the sword was first invented.

After the birth of some famous swords. The swordsmith or the wielder of the sword will look for the swordsmith to divinate the good fortune of the sword. For example, in a famous sword-casting place like Sword Casting Villa, naturally there are also sword-casting masters, up to the owner Tie Xuanfeng, down to some apprentices and grandchildren, who more or less understand something.

After the Zichu Sword was cast, he had already looked at many sword masters, and the results were all very good. But since the blind fairy took the initiative to mention this matter, it was not easy to refuse, anyway, there was no loss by looking at it again.

Zhao Zheng nodded and said: "I got this sword, and I have been tied to the fate of this sword, and now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and the fate of this sword is my fate." Divination for me or face to face for it, in fact, it is the same. Just ask the old gentleman to slap his eyes. ”

With that, he pulled out Zichu's sword and presented it to the blind fairy with both hands. Zi Chujian is arrogant, and he is only allowed to hold it alone, and others can't touch it.

The blind fairy didn't touch this moldy head, raised his hand and stroked his white beard, staring at Zi Chujian with his blind eyes, looking left, right, up, down, a total of seventy-two eyes before and after. After reading it, he spoke: "It's really an immortal sword!" ”

Zhao Zheng was very happy when he heard the other party praise Zichu Sword, as the owner of this sword. The world loves to hear good words, and he is no exception.

However, this kind of praise is too much for Zi Chu Jian, not to mention the Xiang Sword Master, even Bai Ding can see that Zi Chu Jian is not an ordinary thing. Therefore, Zhao Zheng asked: "What did the old gentleman see?" ”

"The old man is blind and has seen a lot of things, and the fate of this sword has turned around in my head like a marquee, giving me a great shock." The blind fairy sighed leisurely.

"Please also make it clear to the old gentleman."

"Little brother, the fate that the old man saw just now was just a fleeting moment, even if he wanted to make it clear, he couldn't make it clear, he could only give you a general result based on what he saw and heard. Lao Yu knows two Buddhist verses, and it is really appropriate to use these two verses to describe the fate of Zi Chujian in the future. ”

"Which two verses?"

"The prancing horse threw the whip and the stars were crossing, and a call for Bainuo to thunder. The country is unharmed and the fisherman is old, how can it be like Lingshan to make up for it. The blind fairy cleared his throat and shook his head and recited.

Zhao Zheng didn't hear it clearly the first time, and asked the blind fairy to say it a second time, so he secretly remembered the two verses in his heart. He felt that these two verses were too profound to understand their meaning, so he asked the blind fairy to interpret them.

But the blind fairy deduced that the heavenly secret could not be revealed, and no matter how Zhao Zheng requested, he refused to reveal half a word.

"Lao Yu said enough today, and he also earned three melons and two dates, enough for half a month's expenses, so let's go!" The blind fairy stood up, said goodbye to Zhao Zheng briefly, ignored Zhao Zheng's obstruction, and left with a small flag.

Zhao Zheng watched the blind immortal go away, chewing on the meaning of the two verses in his heart, but he still felt that it was in the clouds. He turned around and returned to the Sword Forge Villa, visited several learned old men, and asked them to help them interpret it. Later, after several turnarounds, he found the owner of the iron village, and finally got a satisfactory answer.

After listening to these two verses, Tie Xuanfeng replied with a smile: "These are the two verses in the Diamond Sutra, which probably means that a heroic figure was born in the world, and his birth shook the starry sky. With this hero, the world became peaceful, the fisherman was able to grow old peacefully, and people learned some Buddhist Zen principles. ”

Only then did Zhao Zheng figure out the approximate meaning of these two verses, which turned out to be very auspicious words.

The verse says that heroes were born and made great achievements and pacified the world. This hero must refer to the Zichu sword, but the sword is dead, it is impossible to become a hero at all, and the only person who can truly become a hero is the person who uses the sword!

A hero is a chivalrous man, and a chivalrous man is a hero.

The fate revealed by these two verses is actually very clear, and it is exactly the fate that Zhao Zheng wants in his heart.

Zhao Zheng's heart suddenly brightened, as if he had opened two doors. He was full of spring breeze, and hugged his fists at Tie Xuanfeng and said: "It turns out that these two verses mean this, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me answer my questions."
