Volume 1 Iron God Pile Chapter 8 Chiyang Sword Society
A few days later, a convoy marched on the winding road, horses neighed and birds chirped, a picture of ten miles of spring. On both sides of the road, the seedlings are green, and farmers are bending over and busily, planting new seedlings. The naughty boy catches fish and shrimp in the ditch and has a lot of fun. The road ahead is mountainous and rainy.
Hearing the melodious brass bells of the convoy, some farmers straightened their waists, clenched their fists and pounded their sore waists, and looked at the convoy.
In their opinion, it was a strange column. Some of the convoys were single-handed, straddling horses and carrying swords, like rangers. Some of the carriages are bulging, the boxes are stacked, and the ties are sturdy, like traveling merchants.
They occasionally talk to each other, but they don't know each other well.
The farmer looked past the convoy and found at the front of the procession a pretty woman dressed as a Miao, with dazzling silver ornaments. She rode alone on a red horse, gently waving the silver-handled whip in her hand, and humming a song leisurely.
The boxwood is so soft and slippery
Pick a load of white rice and go to Liuzhou, sister
Ahh
People say that the girl in Liuzhou is good
Ahh
The girl in Liuzhou can comb her hair
......
The farmer listened to the brass bell and the mountain song, and his eyes were far away. Mountain songs, how nostalgic. Bonfires, mountain songs, wine, beautiful women, moving bodies, warm grass. Recalling the romantic past made him unconsciously show a happy smile.
"Old thing, plant rice quickly, wander when you see a beautiful girl, and you are not allowed to eat at night and kneel on the washboard. The roar of the Hedong lion immediately woke up the farmer, and he hurriedly bent down and threw the past away.
Du Lengqiu didn't notice this funny scene in the rice field, he was sitting on the wooden box on the top of a truck, his hands on his cheeks, checking his newbie gift bag.
The Starter Pack has five contents, and only one can be selected. It's really instigated and stingy, and the misers represented by Grandet and Pryushkin have a fight.
But as the saying goes, what is free is the real fragrance, so Du Lengqiu has nothing to do at this time, so he still has to choose carefully. The contents of the bundle are in order.
1. Invincible time
2. Equivalent exchange
3. Data body
Fourth, the eye of true knowledge
5. Stainless steel long sword
Obviously, the value of the Starter Pack decreases by rank. The most valuable should be the invincible time. Du Lengqiu clicked on the detailed introduction and found that invincible time is an excellent means of saving life. First of all, it can be activated in any conditions, both free and combat, for ten seconds. Leaving this world and returning only takes three seconds to wait, so it can save its life in any state.
It's a pity that this invincible time is the most chicken rib for Du Lengqiu. First of all, he crossed over here to gain power, not to cause trouble, plus the sword talisman given by the heavenly capital to save his life. In general, invincibility time is not used. Therefore, this article is abandoned first.
Secondly, the last stainless steel longsword was too scummy. Du Lengqiu now has one, although the old sword given by Lu Simian is enough for him to use at this stage, so he also gave it up categorically.
Again, the data body just doesn't have the Achilles' heel of the heart, the head, etc., which is not as good as the first invincible time, and also give up.
Then, the Eye of Knowing can see the flaws of opponents in battle, and at the same time can identify low-level mysterious items. Hehe, this is a pretty good plug-in.
Finally, there is the equivalent exchange, which is that the host pays a certain price, and the system allows the host to quickly master the exercises and supernatural powers. This is very good, it can be described as a standard configuration. Du Lengqiu's purpose in coming here is to learn art, and this is the sleepiness that meets the pillow, which is very suitable. The only question is whether there will be a problem with the power obtained in this way.
All in all, the Eye of Knowing and the Exchange of Equivalence require a choice between one or the other.
Beyond the flat farmstead, the convoy entered the mountains as it was getting late. The mountain road is undulating, high and low, like walking on the back of a dragon. The mountains and forests gradually became denser, and looking to both sides, the ancient cypress forest, occasionally the roar of apes and tigers, attracted bursts of echoes.
"The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are many bandits. As long as you cross this mountain, there will be a post station for rest, and everyone will work hard!" Lu Simian, a swordsman from Surabaya, rode out, his green shirt fluttering, and his three long beards were also fluttering, matching his clear facial features, like a fairy.
Lu Simian has been active in the southwest border area of Surabaya all the year round, and he is good at using 27 strokes of smoke and rain to live with a sword, and his reputation is not small. Most of the people in the team were gathered from the towns along the way by him, so he can be said to be the talker in the team.
Of course, Lu Simian is not a saint who has no desires and no desires. There were eighteen carts in the entire convoy that belonged to him, and about twenty men helped sell goods, making a lot of money along the way. Du Lengqiu will also help and earn some extra money.
As soon as Lu Simian's words fell, a team of people and horses rushed out of the woods, holding bright blades, intercepting the end of the convoy. These people are all wearing variegated power suits, murderous, and obviously bandits.
At the front of the bandits, there stood a bald-headed strong man, without a shirt, revealing his muscles as black iron. This man stood with his hands on his chest, his face was full of contempt, and he scolded coldly, "Lao Tzu is Zhao Wuji, the pioneer officer under the Black Heavenly King, and all the valuable goods are handed over to Lao Tzu. ”
"Pioneer officer, I'm afraid it's a bloody thousand mountains Zhao Wuji!" Lu Simian stepped forward and swept his eyes, his eyes were solemn, but his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhao Wuji glanced at him and sneered: "Who is my Dao?" It turned out to be Lu Simian, the swordsman of the Four Waters. Legend has it that you are a swordsman, a money bag, a character, and a better kung fu in bed, so you are called the Four Waters Swordsman, I don't know if it's true?"
This Zhao Wuji said gloomily, the bandits and bandits laughed for a while, and even some people in the convoy knew that they shouldn't, but they couldn't help but crack their mouths.
"You ......" Lu Simian's face turned blue with anger, his palm clenched the hilt of the sword, and he wanted to fight hard. But the bloody Thousand Mountains is the outcast of the Blood River Sect, who traveled thousands of miles back then and caused countless killings, which gave him the name of the Bloody Thousand Mountains.
Lu Simian asked himself if he was an opponent.
Seeing this, Du Lengqiu, who was sitting on the top of the truck from afar, sighed softly. Sure enough, it was like that again. The Surabaya swordsman Lu Simian may be a successful businessman now, but he is no longer a swordsman.
Swordsman, face the difficulties, swing the sword at the strong enemy, and survive in death. If you only dare to bully the weak, but do not have the courage to swing your sword at a strong enemy, the swordsman is no longer a swordsman.
Maybe Lu Simian also fought against strong enemies in the starry night when he was young, and he also used to eliminate demons for thousands of miles, but now, that comfortable life completely overwhelmed him. He may still be able to perform swordsmanship, but he is no longer a swordsman.
The swordsman is not Han Xin, he does not seek a thousand years of achievements, but only seeks happiness in his life.
A swordsman would rather die by a sword than be humiliated.
Now Lu Simian didn't dare to do anything, so he could only admit it.
"Okay! Zhao Wuji, do you know that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself. Let's ride a donkey and read a record book, and we'll see! Now get out of the way, let's get over. ”
"Why? Just rely on you Lu Simian, you don't have such a big face. Zhao Wuji's attitude was very disdainful in his words.
"On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Chiyang Sword Society, we are going to worship the Xuanyuan Sword Immortal. My face is not big enough, I don't know if you will give Xuanyuan Fairy's face?" Lu Simian asked coldly.
...........................
Yanshan, thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River.
Although the season has entered spring, Yanshan is still cold. The catkins in the south of the Yangtze River are flying, and the snowflakes of Yanshan are falling.
Looking down from a high place, I saw more than 10,000 cavalry, standing solemnly at the foot of Yanshan. The war horse seemed to be shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, standing quietly beside the cavalry, without making a sound.
In the center of the large array, there stood the nine-tailed blue wolf Bai Xu, who represented the royal power of the grassland. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, seven steps and one guard, the scimitar is cold, and the iron armor is forested. Despite the heavy wind and snow, it stands like a mountain.
On the winding mountain road that spirals like a long snake, except for the dense guards, only one person is slowly climbing.
The man was dressed in an ordinary sheepskin jacket with a small braid on his head and a gold ring on it. He had a rough face, and his black beard stood like needles. A pair of eyes are unusually sharp, looking forward to it like an eagle patrolling the earth.
In a few moments, the man was at the top of the mountain.
At the end of the steps, there is a one-zhang high boulder, and three big characters are engraved on the stone with silver hooks and iron - Iron God Palace.
The Iron God Palace was founded by Ji Shendu, and it was unknown at first, but twenty years ago, it suddenly shocked the world and became the nightmare of the Central Plains martial arts.
Twenty years ago, Ji Shendu wore iron armor, held iron fists, and went south to the Central Plains, setting off a bloody storm all the way. Iron armor, iron fist, iron god pile, defeated heroes, and let everyone remember this Northland Demon Palace.
The name of the Iron God Palace is high-end, but its architecture is not magnificent. At first glance, there are more than 20 huts, seven or eight stone houses, and that's it. If it weren't for the boulder inscription at the entrance, I'm afraid no one would dare to believe it.
In front of the boulder, there was already a person waiting. The man looked like he was in his thirties, with a face as narrow as a knife, a slight beard, and even though the weather was cold, he was wearing only a light blue silk robe.
"Great Khan, Master has been waiting for a long time on the rocks. ”
"There is an old priest waiting for a long time. ”
In the Northland, the gods of Ji enjoy great prestige. When he was walking on the grassland, the herdsmen saw him and immediately knelt down and bowed his head. Even the Uighur Khan was addressed with the word "divine teacher" as a sign of respect.
The Yanshan Mountains stretch thousands of miles from east to west, and at the eastern end, plunging headlong into the East China Sea.
The Iron God Palace is located in the easternmost part of Yanshan, while Diaoshi Rock is located in the easternmost part of the Iron God Palace. Its surface is smooth as a mirror, as if it has been finely carved, facing the vast East China Sea, and the cliffs below are upright, and the clouds and mist are dispersed.
At Rock Fishing, the sound of waves breaking through the reef is clearly audible. In the clouds and mist, there are petrels flying and shuttling like swords, leaving fog marks one after another, and then slowly filled by the fog, and the swallows have no trace.
On the rocky rock, a person sits cross-legged facing the sea. At this moment, the snowflakes were flying, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, but there was not a single snowflake on him.
This is Ji Shendu.
Ji Shendu was dressed in a purple robe, with his head tied in a bun, and his figure was extremely burly. He held a fishing rod in his hand, as if he were fishing. It's just that there is no silk line for fishing on the fishing rod, but a thin silver line condensed by innate qi hangs down a thousand feet.
"The priest is well. The Uighur Khan stood with his head bowed and his attitude respectful.
"When the Great Khan comes from afar, there must be something important, and there is no need to say polite words. Ji Shendu didn't look back, his voice was deep and had a calming charm.
"The priest must know that I have been unifying the steppe of the Uighurs for nearly twenty years. The grassland herdsmen have been multiplying for 20 years, and 100,000 people who control the strings are waiting for the day, just to conquer the prosperous land of the Central Plains. ”
But the lessons of a hundred years ago must be taken to heart. The servant came here to ask the divine master to take action, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, when the Chiyang Sword Meeting, to break the courage of the martial arts people of the Southern Dynasty, so as not to repeat the mistakes of our dynasty. ”
"On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Chiyang Sword Society. Ji Shendu sighed faintly
"I've been waiting for twenty years, but no one has been able to surprise me. Even so, there is no need to wait any longer. Great Khan, please return, I have answered your request. ”
Hearing this, the Great Khan lowered his head and slowly retreated, until he was a hundred paces away, and then quietly turned around and went down the mountain.
When the fishing rocks were empty again, the fishing rod in Ji Shendu's hand suddenly sank, as if a fish had been hooked. He raised his eyebrows, followed the fishing rod, and in a moment, a huge green-haired gold-rimmed sea turtle fell off the stone platform, and the silk thread condensed by the gang qi disappeared, leaving the fishing rod empty.
Ji Shendu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Dig a deep pit and wait for tigers and leopards, and bury incense bait to catch golden turtles." Is this a warning from God?"
"But my Ji Shendu is born to be a person who does not admit defeat, what kind of surprise will there be in the Chiyang Sword this time?
