The light rain was pouring and the cool breeze was suddenly rising, intensifying.

Dark clouds obscured the stars, and the moon grew brighter.

Xie Chunfeng was silent, his head bowed, and his right hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Ning Haoran looked at him quietly and said seriously: "The sword of sword cultivation is not just a sword, it is more like a friend, and it is a friend who can hand over his life. Although you also hold a sword, it is not the sword of sword cultivation, the sword is a murder weapon, and it is also a king, and the sword of sword cultivation can suppress other swords, your sword, no. ”

The sword of sword cultivation can contain the natal sword, which is equivalent to having spirituality, and the sword of an ordinary swordsman is just a sharp sword, even if it also has spirituality, it is not as good as the natal sword of sword cultivation.

This can be regarded as the essential difference between sword cultivators and other monks who use swords.

"The sword is straight, so often the sword cultivation is also very direct, the most direct, the simplest sword is the most powerful sword, you and I are in the same realm, but your sword is not as good as my sword, this is why sword cultivation is so special in the world. ”

Xie Chunfeng looked up at him and said, "You said so much, the most fundamental meaning is that I am not as good as you." Mr. Fourth of the Sword Academy is really proud, but I think your sword is not so straightforward, you have many thoughts in your heart, and there is something wrong with your kendo. ”

Ning Haoran said calmly: "I'm just a little sword cultivator, of course the sword path can't be perfect, otherwise I would be a sword immortal." The sword immortal of the Western Jin Dynasty is naturally the greatest sword cultivator in the world, but he is not born so perfect, I have had the privilege of meeting that sword immortal, and even talked to him, from another point of view, I am also a person who has been infinitely close to the sword immortal. ”

Xie Chunfeng said: "I'm not a sword cultivator, and I don't know your sword immortal, even if you used to be very close to the sword immortal, but you are not a sword immortal after all, it's very boring to say so much, let me see your sword and see if your sword is really so proud." ”

Ning Haoran nodded and said, "As you wish." ”

The glimmer of light in the night sky is sprinkled, and two rows of lanterns hang outside the pavilion, illuminating the street outside the building.

A light rain and a cool breeze blew through the long street.

The fighting spirit is rising.

There was a screeching sound of a sword coming out of its sheath.

Black clouds were also sweeping in the night sky, as if affected by the changes between heaven and earth.

At the moment when Ning Haoran had just summoned the natal sword, his right hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he was about to pull it out, a crisp footstep suddenly sounded in the silent long street.

Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng's expressions were a little dignified at this moment.

Suddenly turned his head to look.

At the end of the long street, a white dress broke through the night, from far to near.

White clothes win snow.

Hang a sword around your waist.

Toyojin is handsome.

Elegant and elegant.

It is the second senior brother of the Star Picking Mansion, the demonic figure of the younger generation of monks in Jiang Kingdom, Shen Qiubai.

The falling light rain seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and not half a drop could touch him.

Shen Qiubai obviously had a small stride distance, but in the blink of an eye, he stood outside the Panlong Banquet Pavilion.

He looked at the two people holding the sword and said: "Tonight is only the first day of the Panlong Banquet, and it is not yet time to draw the sword. ”

Ning Haoran was silent for a moment, removed the palm on the hilt of the sword, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Shen Qiubai Shen Gongzi, I haven't seen him for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Shen Qiubai said lightly: "The fourth sword in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, I haven't seen it for many years, and it has really become very strong. ”

Ning Haoran said: "You are also stronger, even a little beyond my imagination. ”

This is from the bottom of my heart, the hidden breath gives people an unfathomable feeling, when Shen Qiubai just appeared on this street, Ning Haoran had a feeling of palpitations, and even goosebumps.

Since the monk has crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, it will become quite difficult to take another step forward, and for those characters with demonic qualifications, they will also be subject to some restrictions, especially when approaching the threshold of the Five Realms, even if they are monsters, it will be difficult to take that step.

Shen Qiubai said: "My progress in recent years has become very slow, standing on the edge of the threshold of the Five Realms, I have been trying to cross over, but I can't do it, maybe before I cross the threshold of the Five Realms, you will have caught up with me." ”

Xie Chunfeng silently put his sword back into the sheath, and when Shen Qiubai appeared, he knew very well that the battle between himself and Ning Haoran was going to be postponed again.

He said slowly: "A proud son of heaven like Brother Shen would also have such thoughts? Among the younger generation of monks in Jiang Kingdom, I am afraid that no one is closer to that threshold than you, even if it is difficult to cross that threshold, but when the latecomer catches up with you, it will still be the latecomer after all." ”

Shen Qiubai smiled and said, "Brother Xie thinks too highly of me. ”

Xie Chunfeng glanced inside the building and said, "I don't know who your disciples from the Star Picking Mansion are to the banquet?"

Shen Qiubai looked at Xie Chunfeng with some surprise, and then said: "It's Senior Brother Yang Zhao, who crossed the threshold of the Four Realms half a month ago, although in the Star Picking Mansion, Senior Brother Yang Zhao can only be regarded as a newcomer, but in the regulations, only monks who break through the Four Realms in the early stage of the Panlong Banquet are eligible to go to the banquet, which also means that at the Panlong Banquet, the first time to enter the Four Realms is the strongest, with Yang Zhao's hard work in the past, he is expected to win the championship." ”

He probably understood Xie Chunfeng's purpose for asking so much, so he just said Yang Zhao, the strongest among the disciples of the Star Picking Mansion who came to the banquet this time.

Xie Chunfeng said in a low voice: "So according to normal logic, the candidates for the championship are all those who have crossed the threshold of the Four Realms in the recent past, Senior Brother Yang Zhao does practice hard and has great perseverance, but there are many people who can fight with him at the Panlong Banquet, and it is not yet known who will shine in the end." ”

Ning Haoran smiled at this time and said: "The Panlong Banquet can only be regarded as a fellow scholar, why care about who wins or loses, the most important thing is what you gain in this banquet." These juniors and sisters from various mountain gates are all the best in the same age, and if they have a grudge because of a momentary victory or defeat, it is a very boring thing. ”

Xie Chunfeng sneered slightly: "The attitude of the Palace Sword Academy is very free, and I think I have a lot of confidence in my own disciples. ”

Ning Haoran said: "You just need to be worthy of the sword in your hand." ”

Shen Qiubai looked at this scene, and said with some sigh: "Young people are always vigorous, although I am not old, but I have indeed passed the competitive age, since it is nature, we should go with the flow, the Panlong Banquet is the stage for these young people, those of us who are senior brothers, we just need to watch quietly." ”

Ning Haoran didn't speak, Xie Chunfeng smiled slightly, and said: "What Brother Shen said is very true, we have all fought in the Panlong Banquet, we used to be young and vigorous, or if we are not convinced, we have also experienced it, if these teenagers are really kind and pleasant, they have a fake and polite appearance, where can they be called teenagers, young people don't need to have too many ideas, follow the original intention, draw their swords and fight." ”

Shen Qiubai said with a smile: "If you talk about swordsmanship, I'm afraid that no one can compare to the Sword Academy of the Palace, but the monks of the three sects have their own magical powers, and it will definitely be a dragon fight, compared to our time, the cultivation realm of these junior brothers and sisters is not weak, I am looking forward to seeing their wonderful performances." ”

Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng glanced at each other, temporarily put aside the idea of a war, and said, "We are also looking forward to it." ”

......

Because of the disturbance of Jiang Zi's painting, the conversation between the Lu family brothers and sisters broke up unhappily.

Lu Changge, who was about to walk away, seemed to think of something, looked back at Jiang Zihua and the disciples of the Sword Academy who were looking at him not far away, and said with a smile: "Ye Jinyu really didn't come to the banquet, and if you want to come, waste wood like him, even if he appears, it will be embarrassing, after all, it is my subordinate defeat, you Sword Academy disciples, compared to before, are too weak." ”

Jiang Zihua knew very well why Ye Jinyu did not come to the banquet, but he didn't know very well what happened between Lu Changge and Ye Jinyu, but he could probably guess that he had always been a person who refused to suffer, and immediately sneered: "The year before last, I asked, you didn't fall into the mountain gate, but you were defeated very badly, and the disciples you came to the banquet were all defeated by our Sword Academy, and I don't know what you are proud of, I hope that when you are wiped out again at the Panlong Banquet, don't cry your nose, otherwise it will be very embarrassing." ”

Lu Changge's face was slightly gloomy, anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he glared at Jiang Zihua and said: "Are you disciples of the Palace Sword Academy good at talking, you are a famous lazy waste wood in the outer courtyard of the palace, what qualifications do you have to stand here and fart!"

Jiang Zihua plucked his ears and said, "So I've already released you, why are you still here?"

It is undoubtedly very difficult to outperform Jiang Zi's painting in terms of lip service, and a random sentence popping out of his mouth can make people half angry.

Lu Changge's face became even more ugly, thinking that it was really meaningless to take advantage of his tongue here, he glared at Jiang Zihua angrily, and said coldly: "In the competition of tomorrow's Panlong Banquet, you'd better not shrink your head, I will trample you under your feet and tear your mouth apart!"

Jiang Zihua pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "I'm afraid that you won't succeed, if you have the ability, you will only shout if you don't fall off the mountain. ”

Lu Changge's suppressed anger was about to erupt, and a noise suddenly sounded at the Panlong banquet.

"It's Shen Qiubai, Senior Brother Shen!"

"Senior Brother Shen really appeared!"

"Wow, Senior Brother Shen is too good-looking!"

There are male monks who worship, there are female monks who commit nymphomaniac, and naturally there are unknown monks who look on coldly, and even those who whisper slander in secret.

But because of Shen Qiubai's appearance, the Panlong banquet was unprecedentedly warm, which shows Shen Qiubai's popularity.

Lu Changge's attention was also attracted to the past, and he didn't bother to take care of Jiang Zi's painting for a while, so he immediately squeezed over quickly.

Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng, who followed Shen Qiubai into the pavilion, were a little helpless, they didn't like this warm atmosphere very much, they glanced at each other, but walked away with a tacit understanding.

Some female monks plucked up the courage and came forward, wanting to say a word to Shen Qiubai, even if it was just to say hello, they would be very excited.

Shen Qiubai naturally knows the thoughts of these young girls, it is not easy to grasp the proportions of this, he can't be too indifferent, and he can't be too enthusiastic, it seems that it belongs to a great discipline like cultivation and reading.

When he finally tried to get rid of the teenage girl's entanglement, another monk appeared in front of him.

Of course, this male monk was Lu Changge, who had managed to squeeze over.

Shen Qiubai was only slightly stunned, and then nodded towards the other party.

Lu Changge seemed to be as excited as those girls, but he was not one of those girls after all, he quickly stabilized his mood, bowed down and said with some flattery: "Lu Changge, a disciple who does not fall down the mountain, has seen Senior Brother Shen. ”

Shen Qiubai responded politely: "Senior Brother Lu is good." ”

Lu Changge took a deep breath and said: "I have heard of Senior Brother Shen's name for a long time, I have no chance to see it, but when I see it today, it is really like a celestial, in this world, no one can compare to Senior Brother Shen." ”

Shen Qiubai was stunned again and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lu praised it falsely. ”

There was a strange feeling in his heart, and although he often encountered praise from those young friars, he still felt a little awkward to be praised by a man like this.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, he found that there seemed to be a fiery fire in the eyes of this senior brother Lu......

At the moment when he was stunned, Lu Changge said again: "I'm ashamed, since my sister first heard the name of Senior Brother Shen, she yearned for it, and I couldn't wait to run away from home to find Senior Brother Shen, I felt sorry, I didn't dare to let my sister travel far away, and stopped it many times, but my sister was very stubborn, and she didn't hesitate to meet Senior Brother Shen, and resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation, it is gratifying that my sister's cultivation qualifications are not bad, and now it can be regarded as a small achievement......

Shen Qiubai came to his senses, interrupted Lu Changge's affection, and said apologetically: "If you are lucky, I will see you, someone over there called me, so I will leave first." ”

Although he didn't listen carefully to Lu Changge's words, it was not the first time that something like this had happened, Shen Qiubai was a little unhappy in his heart, so he just found an excuse and left, but Lu Changge obviously didn't understand Shen Qiubai's true meaning, but felt that there was a drama in this matter.
