Chapter 65 Competition
Gong Liangyu looked at Shenhuan in surprise, and then, it turned into a surprise.
He never expected that Shenhuan would agree to it.
"Over the years, hasn't the knowledge of Pinjian been left behind?" Gongliang Yu said with a tentative tone.
"How could my own experience and perception fall behind?" Shen Huan asked rhetorically.
At this time, Li Zhi took out two ordinary swords from the cargo box of a certain carriage.
The scabbards of these two swords are made of the finest black wood, inlaid with jade agate, and decorated with gold and silver threads. At a glance, you can see that it is specially created for those gentlemen who love to do superficial articles, which can be said to be their favorite.
Gong Liangyu looked at the two swords and was a little dissatisfied: "It's child's play to talk about the sword with such flashy ornaments." ”
Shen Huan also showed a look of disdain.
Li Zhi found the expressions of the two, and hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, let's take a look at ...... later" As he spoke, Li Zhi drew his sword out of the sheath, and a cold glow appeared!
"Good sword!" The light of this sword made Gong Liangyu feel surprised. Gong Liangyu didn't expect that in such a flashy scabbard, there was such a divine weapon, and he couldn't help but praise it!
Gong Liangyu and Shenhuan only looked at the two ordinary long swords on the surface this time.
Li Zhi put the sword on the table, and asked Gongliangyu for advice again: "Gongliang Gongzi, may I ask, how is the competition between your sword masters conducted? ”
Li Zhi's expression made it impossible to tell whether he was true or false.
"The sword competition, the theory of three knowledge, two judgments and two laws. The so-called three senses are the knowledge of materials, art, and place. As for the two judgments and two laws, let's let Brother Huan explain. Gong Liangyu explained half of the explanation and handed over the question to Shenhuan.
"The so-called two judgments refer to the absence of judgments and the imprisonment. The missing one is the fragile link on the sword's body, and the trapped one is the obstacle that the sword brings to the user when it is used. The last rule is the law of the sword, listening to the law of the sword, knowing the meaning of the sword, is the highest state of the sword. Shen Huan continued.
The two laws in Gongliangyu's mouth became the same in Shenhuan's mouth. The people around him thought that they had made a mistake and listened to the two rules, but no one questioned it.
The two parties, Shenhuan and Gongliangyu, tacitly agreed.
Because this missing uniformity is the unique "heart rhythm" of the Gongliang family! It is the highest level of the real sword that can only be learned and mastered after the resonance of the human sword!
Shen Huan and Gong Liangyu walked to the table, picked up the long sword in front of them, sometimes stroked the sword body, sometimes flicked ten fingers, sometimes tried the edge with their fingers, and sometimes listened to the wind.
"Soft ink steel, a common forged steel. Gong Liangyu was the first to speak.
"It is not an ordinary soft ink steel, just four soft six, and the sword is cold, which is produced in a southern state. Shen Huan added.
The two glanced at each other, and Gong Liangyu continued: "Soft ink steel cannot be forged by ordinary methods, it can only be processed by the method of water folding. The sword has water ripples on its body, which is not an ordinary water folding method, but a water folding hundred forging method. ”
Gong Liangyu actually had further inferences, but he deliberately didn't say it, leaving it to Shenhuan to play.
For a brother, it is gratifying to be brilliant, but seeing his brother perform is also another joy.
"There are wind marks on the water lines, which is the method of borrowing wind into a hundred forging methods in the water folding. "Shenhuan really added what Gong Liangyu didn't say.
"As for the knowledge of the land...... Aside from what Brother Huan said earlier, these two swords were produced in a certain state in the south, I didn't find any other clues. ”
"Me too. ”
Although neither of them was able to complete the final "knowledge of the land", the onlookers had already smacked their tongues for the two of them.
The merchants usually greet gold and silver, and they pay attention to what they know about swords. If they were to talk about abacus and account books, they would be able to tell the truth. Therefore, these businessmen should all watch the excitement.
Although the bodyguards live on the tip of the knife on weekdays, almost all of them embark on this extremely dangerous road because of the embarrassment of life. They don't even have the combat skills to get their hands on, so how can they have the opportunity to contact a group of noble status like the sword masters.
Therefore, the bodyguards were staring at Shenhuan and Gongliangyu with fiery eyes, and they refused to take their eyes off for a minute.
Tu Lie has no interest in Pinjian, but he likes to see that Shenhuan can be in the limelight.
The busiest people in the audience are Li Zhi and Zhuo Qing.
Li was busy because he was so thirsty that he almost never heard of drinking water. While he raised his head to drink water, he paid attention to Shenhuan and Gongliangyu with his spare eyes, and his appearance was very funny.
Zhuo Qing was busy because he had been working hard to write a book, recording every detail of the sword competition between Shenhuan and Gongliangyu. Sword masters are jealous of each other, and it is really difficult to ask them to compete. The opportunity to witness it with such eyes is even more rare. Such good materials, Zhuo Qing will not let go.
"Among the two judgments, do we compare the judgment first or the judgment?" Gong Liangyu smiled and asked Shen Huan's opinion.
"Verdict. Shen Huan replied succinctly.
In order to prevent Gong Liangyu from further confirming his identity, Shenhuan decided to skip the judgment and directly score the victory or defeat on the judgment.
"Good. Gong Liangyu smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two of them carefully observed the blades of the two swords again, trying to find the weak points in the swords. I have to say that these two swords are rare and high-quality products, and the two of them didn't see any clues for a while.
The atmosphere of the two people's full attention gradually affected the people around them. Time passed minute by minute, and everyone held their breath and waited for the result, not daring to make a sound at all, for fear of disturbing Gong Liangyu and Shen Huan.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the sunset is thousands of miles.
Suddenly, Shen Huan pointed two inches above the sword body, and the sword body began to make an unusual movement!
The moment the water waves subsided, the entire sword spread out silently like melting snow......
"I lost. Gong Liangyu admitted his defeat in a chic manner, and his voice was calm and calm. Gonglianghuan's heart is more joyful because of Shenhuan's outstanding performance.
In fact, Gong Liangyu had already discovered the weak point of the sword, but he had been pretending not to know. In Gong Liangyu's heart, he, the expelled nineteenth brother, has lost the favor of his family since he was a child, how can he compete with him for this insignificant victory at this time?
The victorious Shenhuan didn't see joy, but kept staring at Gong Liangyu's expression. Such a victory made Shenhuan unbelievable. He didn't believe that Gongliangyu, who had been studying in the Gongliang family and was also known as the first day of the Gongliang family, would lose to himself.
It's a pity that he couldn't find any clues from Gong Liangyu's expression.
The onlookers saw that Shenhuan had won, and after their initial surprise, they quickly came to their senses and rushed towards Shenhuan with cheers.
Regardless of whether Shen Huan was happy or not, the bodyguard enthusiastically threw Shen Huan up and celebrated with great fanfare.
A grassroots sword master has defeated the genius of the Gongliang family! It is like a pheasant racing a phoenix! What could be more exciting than this to lift the mood of these civilian bodyguards!
In their eyes, the victory of Shenhuan is also a victory that belongs to them! It is a victory that belongs to the grassroots!
Li Zhi did not join the celebratory crowd, but quietly looked at Gong Liangyu with an embarrassed face. The request for the competition was made by him, and he was afraid that Gong Liangyu would be angry with him because of his failure.
However, he soon discovered that Gong Liangyu's face did not have a look of failure, but instead had the warmest smile.
Gong Liangyu looked at Shenhuan who was thrown up by the bodyguards, and there was indescribable happiness in his heart. As for how much damage his failure would cause to his family's reputation, he didn't care about it, and all he cared about now was his nineteenth brother.
On a tree somehow far outside the camp, a blood-eyed crow also stared at the tossed Shenhuan from afar with its blood-red pupils.
Such evidence does not seem to be sufficient. "In that quiet forest, the crow speaks!
The abandoned Shenhuan felt this gaze, and the chill that had plagued Shenhuan for many days poured out again. After Shenhuan was shocked, he had no intention of looking for it again. Previous experience has proven that the search is just a wasted effort.
The raven flapped its wings and flew away from the branches in the direction the caravan was heading.
After the sun set and the moon rose, and after a strange crow's roar, the bright moonlight seemed to bring a trace of blood red, quietly projecting on the way forward of Shenhuan and them......
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, which is located outside the jurisdiction of the Twenty-Four Prefectures, the large and small demon caves on the mountain walls on both sides have opened one after another today!
All kinds of demon clans who are busy with their lives on weekdays did not go out today, but waited at the door of their demon den.
Because, not long ago, they heard a news that shocked them!
The first demon of the first generation in a hundred years to obtain the supreme freedom of the king's power, today, he wants to give up his noble identity and treatment in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and step into the twenty-four states of divine revelation!
In the eyes of these ordinary demon clans, the first generation of demons were bound by the contract with humans back then, and they were not allowed to leave the territory of the demon clan. Therefore, such a decision is even more incomprehensible in their eyes.
Of course, these ordinary demon clans would never know that as early as many years ago, some of the original demon elites in the "Demon Forbidden" and "Demon Chi" had been sent out by the Demon King!
At this time, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, under the gaze of countless demon clans around her, she stepped out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons step by step.
Gardenia knows very well that the path she chooses will be difficult and difficult, but Gardenia's weak figure is extremely resolute!
The news that the demon forbidden and some of the elite forces in the demon demon have left the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons made it difficult for Gardenia to sleep. Such an extreme method is very easy to cause another war between humans and demons. This is not what Gardenia is happy to see.
Now that she is free, no longer bound by the king's order, and does not need to run to the demon song forest to avoid the demon king's lustful son, Gardenia decided to stop the demon king's plan in her own way.
The war will only bury the future of the demon clan!
The old man Jin and the old man who were locked up in the dark water prison of the Ancestral Demon Palace, if they saw the resolute footsteps of Gardenia, they would definitely be very pleased......
