The ninety-ninth time has come
Zhao Zheng himself is also quite satisfied, his performance today is definitely a super level of performance, and when he is cultivating, he has never been so hearty. His palms shook slightly, and he used his internal force to control the suspended swords, causing them to be inserted back into the Heavenly Machine Box one by one.
"Senior, have you finished the exam?" Zhao Zheng wiped his sweat, turned his head to face the sword slave not far away, and asked with a smile.
"After the exam, you have preliminarily mastered this Qimen Imperial Sword Technique, and I have nothing to teach you, from now on, you will have to rely on your own understanding and exploration, and it will be difficult for outsiders to help you." The sword slave nodded.
"Thank you seniors for teaching martial arts."
"Zhao Zheng, there is no feast in the world, the two of us, it's time to separate. At the beginning, I stayed by your side, mainly to protect you, the owner of Zichu Sword, from harm, and also to accompany Zi Chu Sword more. Now that you have become a Sevenfold Heavenly Martial Artist, your strength is on par with mine, and you won't need me to protect you in the future. As for Zichu Sword, I can let go now, as a swordsmith, I have to challenge higher goals in the future and forge a better sword, and I can't be reluctant to fall in love with Zichu Sword. The sword slave suddenly said.
"Senpai, you're leaving?" Zhao Zheng was stunned.
"Yes, I've been with you for over a year, it's time to go back to Sword Forge Villa, after all, that's my home." The sword slave admitted.
Zhao Zheng felt a sense of reluctance in his heart, but he did not keep the sword slave, the other party was right, there is no feast in the world, no matter how good the relationship is, sooner or later people will be separated. Moreover, the sword slave has always been a maverick, and rarely listens to people's advice, even if he keeps it, he can't keep it.
"When are you going to leave?" After a moment of silence, Zhao Zheng asked.
"I've already packed up all my things, and the news has already been sent to Sword Casting Villa, and I'll leave in about a day or two." The sword slave replied.
"You're in such a hurry?"
"I'm an anxious person, and once I make a decision, I want to do it sooner." The sword slave walked up to Zhao Zheng, raised his thin palm, and patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder twice, "After I leave, you are so self-conscious, remember to practice Qimen Imperial Sword Technique diligently, don't be lazy." Don't look at the average level of my use of this swordsmanship, in fact, I didn't use it well, the power of this medium-grade swordsmanship is far greater than what I have shown, and it has great potential, and it will definitely help you in the future. ”
"Senior, don't worry, whether you are here or not, I will thoroughly understand this swordsmanship." Zhao Zheng assured.
"You have won the Zichu Sword from the competition for the Zichu Sword, and you are the only owner of this sword. In the future, if someone you can't handle wants to snatch your Zichu Sword, you can come to Sword Forge Villa to ask me for help, and I will take care of it to the end. ”
"Thank you, senior."
"Zichu Sword is a good sword, and it is only one step away from the best. In the future, you will have to use the Zichu Sword to fight with others, and over time, it is likely that this sword will break through and become the best sword. If in my lifetime, I see the Zichu Sword become the best sword, and I will be satisfied. ”
"I'll use the Zichu Sword to fight a lot of people."
"Well, I've said everything I need to say, don't cry with a sad face, I'm just going home, and I'm not going to Huangquan Road. Let Ren Qianqiu get a table of wine and food today, and the two of us will have a good meal, which can be regarded as a meal for me. The sword slave smiled again.
"Okay, let's get drunk today, have a good drink!" Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, returned to Chaoyang Residence together, and let Ren Qianqiu cook a sumptuous meal of wine and food. Everyone ate and drank, which was regarded as a trip for the sword slaves, and the atmosphere during the banquet was quite warm, and there was not too much reluctance.
Two days later, the sword slave took his luggage and left the Taishan faction in a carriage and returned to the Sword Casting Villa. Zhao Zheng and the others sent the sword slave all the way far away before giving up, and returned to the Taishan faction.
After the sword slave left, Zhao Zheng did not become idle, but had a more important thing in front of him.
A year ago, Lin Qingfeng, who lived in seclusion in an underground cave, had made an agreement with him to go to the underground cave again a year later to collect his body. When Lin Qingfeng predicted it, he thought that his life was short, and he probably wouldn't live for a year, and he wanted Zhao Zheng to help him settle down.
For this kind of agreement, Zhao Zheng attaches great importance to it, and has been calculating the time, and in three days, it will be the agreed date, just over a year. Of course, he didn't look at Lin Qingfeng to die, he also hoped that after entering the underground cave, he would be able to see Lin Qingfeng jumping around, but this may be a really small surname.
Three days later, Zhao Zheng went to the underground cave as agreed, moved a large stone away, and walked in slowly.
It was the same as a year ago, the land was very wet, there was a small underground river that meandered, and at the end of the cave there was a large area of the mountain.
"Senior, are you okay? I've come to see you. Zhao Zheng shouted from afar, and then waited for Lin Qingfeng's response.
After a few breaths, there was still no response in the belly of the mountain, and it seemed quiet.
Zhao Zheng sighed lightly, from this point of view, Lin Qingfeng really died. He activated his five senses, greatly improved his eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell, and probed the situation in the belly of the mountain. From within the belly of the mountain, there was a faint smell of corpses, and the smell was not very strong, if you didn't smell it carefully, you really couldn't smell it.
His eyes widened, and he quickened his pace, rushing all the way into the belly of the mountain, scanning the surroundings to see a corpse sitting directly opposite.
The corpse sat cross-legged on the ground, its flesh and skin relatively intact, but it was slightly shriveled, and there was no blood of the living. The appearance of the bones is exactly the same as Lin Qingfeng before his death. The physical fitness of martial arts masters far exceeds that of ordinary people, and even if they die, their bodies can be preserved for a long time and will not decay too quickly. Now this corpse, except for the fact that its face is a little worse, it is no different from when Lin Qingfeng was alive, and it is not particularly scary.
"Alas, the years are not forgiving, and your old man still can't stop the passing of the years after all." Zhao Zheng looked at the corpse opposite and sighed lightly, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
No matter what achievements a person has in life and what strength he has, he will eventually die one day, which can be described as a matter of success or failure. Even the eleventh heavenly martial artists can't resist the wear and tear of the years.
Zhao Zheng shook his head, walked all the way to Lin Qingfeng's corpse, and bowed respectfully three times.
"I hope that my predecessors will be able to rest in peace after they die. I will bury you as we agreed. Zhao Zheng muttered at the corpse.
He stared at the corpse for a moment, momentary silence, and then turned his attention to the surrounding mountain wall.
On the mountain wall, there are many human-shaped patterns and characters, which are the content of the stone carving knife technique and the stone carving sword technique.
To Zhao Zheng's surprise, the content on the stone carvings seemed to be slightly different from what he had seen a year ago. Although he only glanced at it and did not read it carefully, he also had a general impression in his mind. The stone carvings in front of him were very different from the ones he remembered, very different.
"What's going on?" Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, carefully observing the surrounding stone walls, looking for differences.
Today's stone walls have obvious scratch marks, as if they have been stripped of an old skin, and all the stone carving patterns are carved on these new inner layers. In addition, the size and order of the patterns appear to be very regular, the stone wall on the left hand side is carved with swordsmanship, and the stone wall on the right hand side is carved with sword skills, and the two are clearly distinguished. Almost every move pattern has a corresponding text note next to it, although the text is a little obscure, but it is better than nothing.
Looking at this, it seems that Lin Qingfeng has re-carved the stone carving sword technique and the stone carving knife technique, sorted and annotated the original chaotic move routines, and removed the chaff, eliminating some unnecessary parts. Now the patterns carved on the surrounding stone walls are neat, and as long as they are rubbed, they are two quite complete martial arts cheats.
This change is undoubtedly a great thing for Zhao Zheng, and it is simply a generous gift given to him by Lin Qingfeng before his death. It seems that Lin Qingfeng is also a person who keeps his promises, in order to teach the two martial arts to Zhao Zheng clearly, so he spent so much effort to thoroughly sort out the two martial arts.
"Senior, thank you." After Zhao Zheng saw through the joint, he suddenly felt grateful, turned around and bowed to the corpse on the ground again, as a way to express his gratitude and respect.
Lin Qingfeng had told him before that there is no need for a grand burial after death, as long as he is buried here. Zhao Zheng had to follow the wishes of the deceased and could not disobey them without permission. He walked around the belly of the mountain, found a good place in the center, pulled out the Zichu Sword, and used his sword qi to dig a big pit in the ground.
The pit was dug, but he was not in a hurry to bury Lin Qingfeng in it, if it was buried hastily like this, it would inevitably be too simple, and he was a little sorry for such a worldly master. He decided to build an underground cemetery for Lin Qingfeng, not to be very magnificent, at least not too shabby......
He left the underground cave and used his identity in the Tarzan sect to ask for a coffin, a tombstone, and some stones from the civil hall inside the door. He did this in secret, and he only greeted the people of the Civil Wood Hall, and did not mention it to anyone else.
After having the materials, he started to build the cemetery on his own, and it only took half a day to build the cemetery. He carved Lin Qingfeng's name on the tombstone and buried it deep in front of the cemetery. Afterwards, he burned some paper money in front of the cemetery, and although he was an atheist, this custom was inevitable.
After completely taking care of Lin Qingfeng's aftermath and fulfilling his promise, he shifted his attention to the stone carving sword technique and the stone carving knife technique, and now he is qualified to take these two martial arts as his own.
Zhao Zheng sat cross-legged on the side of Lin Qingfeng's cemetery, frowning slightly, staring at the stone carving swordsmanship carved on the left hand side. He majored in swordsmanship, so he was naturally more interested in swordsmanship, and only after he had mastered swordsmanship, he would consider learning swordsmanship.
Stone carving swordsmanship!
The name is a little ordinary, but the content is not ordinary at all, and the swordsmanship itself and the name of the swordsmanship are completely different things. The moves in this swordsmanship have nothing to do with the word stone carving, one move and one style are unique, all have their own characteristics, very rich and comprehensive, colorful.
The Heavenly River poured down, this move was to hit a large amount of sword qi into the air, and then control these sword qi to fall back to the ground, as if the Nine Heavens Hanging River was pouring down. Famous Nine Days, this move is a mixture of sword qi and sonic attacks, after a sword is stabbed, the killing range is extremely large, even if the sword qi can't hurt people, the sound waves will also hurt people. There are many sword mountains, and this move is to insert the sword into the land, so that the sword qi is transmitted to all directions through the land, and then break through the soil to form a jungle of sword qi, so that the enemy has no way to hide, and it is impossible to prevent it. Ten Thousand Shadows hides the murderer, this move is to stab out countless sword qi in one fell swoop, but most of the sword qi is a false move, only one move is a real move, using countless false moves as a cover, hiding the real real move, and hiding the killing machine between the virtual and the real.
These moves can be said to be stronger than the other, subtle and powerful, interpreting the swordsmanship to the extreme. Lin Qingfeng learned from others, and exhausted all the hard work in his later years, so that he created such a swordsmanship, and it is a matter of course that it is powerful.
After all, it was the first time that Zhao Zheng had learned the best swordsmanship in a real sense, and the power of this swordsmanship far exceeded the swordsmanship he had learned before. Whether it was the Maha Sword Technique, the White Horse Sword Technique, or the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique that he had just learned, it could not be compared.
Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with this stone carving swordsmanship, he couldn't find any flaws, and it was his luck to learn such a strong swordsmanship. However, what made him very depressed was that the requirements for learners of this sword technique were very high, and the Seven Heavens Martial Artists could not learn at all, and they could only start learning when they reached the Eighth Heaven, and they could only perform about half of the sword techniques in the Ninth Heaven, and only above the Ten Heavens could they fully exert the true power of this sword technique!
Now his strength is too weak, even if he gets this stone carving swordsmanship, he doesn't have the strength to learn it, so he can only be greedy. As for the stone carving knife technique, the same is true, and it is also only barely qualified to learn it by the Eightfold Genius.
"It seems that we can only wait until after the Eight Heavens to fight the idea of this sword technique." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, he could only accept this cruel reality, and temporarily pressed the fiery idea of learning this sword technique. He took out the pen and paper he had on his body, wrote down all the two martial arts engraved around him, and made two simple secret books.
After burying Lin Qingfeng and obtaining two extremely precious martial arts, Zhao Zheng was considered to have a matter on his mind, and it was time to do the next thing.
In contrast, the next thing he had to do, even more important than burying Lin Qingfeng, was one of the main purposes for which he came to the Taishan Sect.
Next, he wants to completely solve the main contradiction between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect, solve the unsolved case eight years ago, uncover all the mysteries, and make it public. In this way, the Three Swords Sect would no longer be able to use this matter as an excuse to attack the Taishan faction.
Everything has to pay attention to being famous, and it is precisely because of the excuse that the old sect master was killed by the Taishan faction that the Three Swords Sect can provoke trouble and constantly make trouble for the Taishan faction. If they didn't have this well-reasoned excuse, they couldn't come to trouble the Tarzan faction anymore.
If one sect attacks another sect without any reason, it will leave a false pretext in the rivers and lakes, and only evil sects will do this. A sect like the Three Swords Sect that leans towards the righteous path can't be so unreasonable.
It can be said that the grievances between the Three Swords Sect and the Taishan Sect lie in the unsolved case eight years ago, once this unsolved case is solved, all grievances will be easily resolved, dissipated and invisible, as if a dead knot has been untied.
We must be well prepared to do everything, and only when we are well prepared can we get twice the result with half the effort. Zhao Zheng has stayed in the Taishan faction for so long, accumulated a certain amount of contacts, and won enough trust, and now he has the strength of the Seven Heavens, and finally meets the basic conditions for doing this. Now that he has everything ready, everything is ready, and the east wind is sufficient, and he is about to officially start.
"The grievances and grievances between the two sects have been entangled for eight years, and countless disciples have been killed for this, and it is time to put an end to this farce caused by ambition." Zhao Zheng muttered to himself in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
To do this, Zhao Zheng's strength alone is not enough, because he has to find a few witnesses and settle these witnesses, which requires others to help him.
He had already thought about the candidate for this helper, he didn't need to find any too strong masters, as long as Ren Qianqiu and Wang Er helped. These two people are very reliable, have a deep relationship with him, and are trustworthy, and it is most suitable to ask these two people for help.
In addition to these two people, he also planned to take Pixiu with him.
Today's Pixiu is close to adulthood, standing up to half a person tall, and his strength is also extremely impressive, which is already equivalent to a sixfold heavenly martial artist, if it is only in terms of speed and strength, it will even surpass the sixfold heavenly martial artist, and can compete with the sevenfold heavenly martial artist.
After so long, Zhao Zheng has established a solid relationship with Pixiu, no matter what he says, Pixiu will listen to him. Pixiu has a high IQ and can understand most people's speech, almost the same as a ten-year-old child.
Pixiu is strong enough and smart enough, and taking it with him will definitely help a lot.
Zhao Zheng took action every other day, packed his luggage, and greeted Ren Qianqiu and Wang Er. He didn't say exactly what the purpose of the trip was, just that he wanted to go out for a walk. Ren Qianqiu and the two were very happy after hearing this, and they wished they could leave the Taishan faction and go outside for a walk, so that they could breathe.
He is now in the Taishan faction, and he can be regarded as having a good status, so he can't say goodbye without saying goodbye, and he must have something to explain. He went to meet the head of Jin Tai and found a reason to go out, but Jin Tai did not stop him, but just told him. He didn't want to be too vocal on this trip, and before leaving, he only met with the three musketeers of Taishan and Yu Ling'er, who were more familiar with him, and said goodbye to them one by one.
After settling everything, the three of them and one beast finally officially set off, riding two carriages and along the smooth road, embarking on a journey with an uncertain future. (To be continued.) )
