Xishu occupies a considerable area in the section of Dahongguo.

If the map of Dahongguo is as big as a door, then the Xishu on the map is as big as a copper basin for washing.

If you have to be more serious, in fact, Xishu is located in the northwest of Dahong, but because the geographical area is too large, there have been a lot of emigrants since ancient times, so many literati and writers often get together, I feel that if this place is called "Northwest Shu", it is too ugly.

So everyone decided together to call this place the size of a basin on the map "Xishu".

The reason why Xishu is famous is not because of the large horizontal area, but because the longitudinal height is too high.

What do you mean?

The whole Xishu, if you look at it from the sand map, it is the high mountains one after the other, one higher than the other, some straight into the sky, some stretch for hundreds of miles, the mountains are steep, and the weather is majestic.

There was once a poet immortal who went down in history and once described Xishu as "the flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb".

No matter how much you can fly as a bird or as an ape as you can climb, it is impossible to cross this peak that you can't see.

In this territory of Xishu, there has never been a wide road with a length of more than one kilometer, and there is no place where the mountains cannot be seen, even if it is an official road, it is also coiled in the mountain road, which can be called "a hundred steps and nine folds lingering rocks".

Such a dangerous place, must belong to the heavy land of soldiers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, here, as long as standing on the city wall, almost every soldier can do a master, ten thousand people do not open.

And in the center of Xishu, there is a city, the city is called "Shushan City", known as the largest city in the world except the capital, with the center of Xishu nearly 100 miles outward, all are the boundaries of Shushan City, so it also has the reputation of "the second city in the world".

The most central part of Western Shu is Shushan City, and the most central part of Shushan City is the holy land of swordsmen - Shushan.

Therefore, Shushan is a veritable mountain in the city.

Shushan is not a mountain range, there are no continuous ridges, and there are no main peaks and secondary peaks of different heights. Rather, it is a mountain peak rising from the ground, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, piercing the sky.

Arrogant, vigorous, straight......

According to rumors, there was once a swordsman, sitting at the foot of Shu Mountain for 50 years, just staring at Shu Mountain every day, intently engrossed, hungry to nibble on dry steamed buns, thirsty to drink a sip of stream water, sleepy to sleep for a while, wake up and continue to look at the mountain, and finally realized the supreme sword.

And after the death of this swordsman, his sword was placed behind the Shushan Sword Monument, which is one of the seven swords of Shushan that are famous all over the world today!

In this way, the fortress of the important land of soldiers and the Shu Mountain of the holy land of martial arts, these two things together make Xishu have a pivotal position in the Great Hung Kingdom.

At this time, it was already night, the silver moon was in the sky, and even the continuous mountain peaks could not block the pervasive moonlight.

On the side of a small road in Xishu, a bonfire was lit, and several people were scattered around the bonfire.

It was the Hunter Academy who set off and went to Shushan to participate in the Shushan Sword Debate.

At this time, everyone was already full of wine and food, and there was still a small half of the uneaten roast yellow sheep hanging on the bonfire, and the ground was scattered with gnawed bones.

During this trip, in addition to Tang Xian's five people, one beast and one sword, there were also Zhao Ye and Hu Erniang's entourage.

Because according to the previous practice, all the tests of the Hunter Academy should be solved by the students themselves, and no instructors should interfere.

But this trip was different.

The Shushan Sword Conference was to show the genius of his sect to the entire rivers and lakes and become a figure at the forefront of the limelight.

If in this process, it is targeted by hostile forces, or if there are unscrupulous people who take the opportunity to make it bad, it will cause great losses to the sect.

So in this case, Guo Lao sent Zhao Ye and Hu Erniang to accompany him to protect the safety of Tang Xian and others.

After eating, everyone dispersed, such as the diligent Zhao Gou, who stood aside directly and continued to practice swords, or Wang Er, who couldn't support the wall in the mud, fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Tang Xian, on the other hand, quietly came to a secluded place, put his hand into his arms, and after groping for a while, took out a piece of flattened cotton.

Tang Xian skillfully kneaded the cotton into a ball, gently placed it on a flat big stone, and untied the firewood knife at his waist.

Looking at the ball of cotton, Tang Xian snorted coldly and said, "From now on, you are not cotton, you are an old thief Zhao, look at how I cut you!"

"Hoo ......"

After saying that, Tang Xian took a deep breath, held the knife in one hand, and slowly raised the firewood knife above his head, his eyes gradually closed, holding his breath and concentrating.

In this way, Tang Xian has always maintained this posture, motionless, even if he breathes, it is extremely slight, and the whole person seems to have turned into an immobile statue, blending in with the surrounding environment.

A bird in the forest flapped its wings and flew over, landed on Tang Xian's unkempt hair, and looked left and right for a long time. Then he flew to the side, picked up a branch and branch, and put it on the top of Tang Xian's head, and began to make a nest.

Unconsciously, an hour had passed, and a third of the bird's nest above Tang Xian's head had been built.

Suddenly, Tang Xian's eyes were slightly straightened, there was no emotion in his eyes, and his expression was ethereal, as if his soul had gone out of his body to another world, but a mysterious aura gradually diffused from Tang Xian's body, lingering Tang Xian, and vaguely revealing a trace of sharpness.

This feeling can be described in one word, and that is "hidden needles in the cotton"!

The most dangerous things are often hidden under those inconspicuous appearances, and once the danger erupts, then the result is a fatal blow!

Feeling this sharp meaning, the nesting bird screamed sadly, flapped its wings and fled in panic, and flew to the nearby tree.

The next moment, the knife fell!

The knife, which had been held in the air for an hour, finally fell.

The knife didn't fall quickly, and the trajectory didn't change much, just a simple split, even weaker than when Tang Xian was chopping wood.

So much so that after the knife was cut on the cotton, the blade collided with the slate, and only a very fine sound of "ping-pong" was made.

There were no scratches on the stone slab, and not even the white marks left after the knife was cut, which shows how small the force of this knife is.

After seeing this fluttering knife, Tang Xian's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes revealed a trace of exhaustion, this knife actually consumed nearly one percent of Tang Xian's mind.

Putting the knife back on his waist, Tang Xian bent down to pick up the cotton, looked at it carefully, and then smiled with satisfaction.

I saw that at this time, a knife edge was clearly visible on this ball of cotton, and the knife edge had split half of the cotton, and the cross-section of the cotton was brushed very smoothly without any burrs.

Tang Xian spent an hour, accumulating knife momentum, trying to enter the mysterious realm of "everything is firewood", and spent a lot of effort, and finally condensed into this knife, which only split half a ball of cotton.

It can be seen that Zhao also taught Tang Xian how perverted the way he practiced knives.
