Sure enough, as Shen Ao expected, this selection of Long Wei set off a monstrous sky in Dazhao and even on the entire continent*. Whether it is a peddler or a pawn on the street, or a powerful person, they are all speculating about the intentions of the one in the deep palace.

Originally, the imperial capital, which was as calm as water on the surface, was rippled because of this stone. Some undercurrents lurking beneath the surface are gradually emerging, and some restless people are ready to move.

Liu's house, in the solemn and majestic study.

Liu Renhe was holding an ancient book in his hand, his eyes had been focused on the book in his hand, putting down the book from time to time and bowing his head in contemplation, and then picking up the ancient book and continuing to study.

It can be seen that he is a person who loves Wen, but on the contrary, he is a military general.

The entire Liu family seems to have forgotten Liu Tianming, the former eldest young master, all traces of Liu Tianming's past existence have been erased, and Liu Tianming's existence is as if it is still a touch of air, and it is difficult to find any traces.

Time is the best poison, it can make the deep memory hazy, and it can make the unforgettable as light as water. People are always forgetful animals, aren't they?

"Master, there is nothing unusual on Young Master Xun's side. ”

Liu Furong brought a cup of tea and gently placed it on Liu Renhe's desk. After so many years, he has become familiar with Liu Renhe's habits to the core.

Sure enough, after Liu Renhe heard Liu Furong's voice, he put down the ancient books in his hand, took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that kid is causing trouble everywhere." ”

"Don't worry, young master Xun, he is measured. ”

Liu Renhe sighed slightly, and he was also helpless about this son. Since Liu Tianming's accident, Liu Renhe has increased his protection for his heirs. Even if they are unbearable, it is still his blood.

"Ah Fu, let's put down the matter of Tianming here, and I can't find any results after checking. ”

"But, master, is this really the matter of the eldest young master?"

Although the entire Liu Mansion and even the entire imperial capital deliberately forgot Liu Tianming, Liu Furong knew very well that Liu Renhe had never given up looking for the real culprit.

"Forget it, I don't want to!"

Liu Renhe's tone was very complicated, mixed with a bit of sadness and helplessness. A little angry.

"I have a hunch that it won't do us any good to look it up. And I know that there are a lot of people who don't want me to look it up, and maybe even the one in the palace doesn't want me to go any further. ”

When Liu Furong heard Liu Renhe's words, his old body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Liu Renhe clearly did not want to continue on this topic.

"Alas, I, Liu Renhe, asked myself how much worse than General Xu, but the juniors are a lot worse. Tianming is a little clever, but his methods can't be used at all, and his other brothers are even more unbearable in comparison!"

There is no material to be created among the younger generations, which is an eternal pain in Liu Renhe's heart.

"By the way, is there anything else?"

"Young Master Xu asked someone to send you an invitation card and invite you to get together. ”

Liu Renhe was slightly stunned, then looked out the window with a complicated face, and let out a faint sigh.

"Give birth to a son like Xu Qianyang"

......

Shen Ao's life was as calm as ever, and he didn't make much waves because of the upcoming Dragon Guard selection. The places to go go every day, and the things that need to be done are still to be done.

"Huh, I've finally finished reading all the basic sword skills here these days!"

Shen Ao has been observing and speculating on basic sword skills these days, and these days, with his energy, he is also exhausted.

The entire Martial Arts Pavilion has such a rich collection of books, even if it is only basic sword skills, the number is extremely staggering. Shen Ao almost didn't eat or drink like an ascetic, so he barely managed to finish these sword skills.

"Although the basic sword skills on this continent are varied, they are all inseparable from the basic movements such as splitting, stabbing, slashing, and teasing, and all complex sword skills are derived from them."

"It's just that the characteristics of each sword technique itself are not the same. Some are windy. Some are earthy, some are feminine, and some are fierce. So is there any way to unify or accommodate these sword skills?"

Shen Ao pondered this question hard, in fact, when he was looking at those ancient swordsmanship books, he always had such a problem lingering in his heart, but he didn't think of a solution.

Shen Ao had a hunch in his heart that as long as he could solve this problem, it would be a qualitative leap in his kendo career, but he didn't know where to start, and this situation made him very distressed.

"Perhaps, that guy from the Sword Spirit will know?"

Sword Spirit Tianchou doesn't know how many years he has lived, and as a sword spirit of the Silent Sword, his insight must be also extraordinary. It's a pity that in the information that Sword Spirit Tianchou sent to him, except for some means, there is not half of it about cultivation.

Tianchou's message to Shen Ao included the way to summon him. Shen Ao is not worried that Tianchou will be recognized by others, the means of an old antique who has lived for countless years are not something you can imagine.

But for the sake of insurance, Shen Ao still found a remote place, and after making sure that there was no one left and right, Shen Ao summoned the sword spirit Tianchou that he hadn't seen for a long time.

I saw countless black lights burst out from Shen Ao's body, and then slowly formed a figure.

If an outsider saw this scene at this moment, I am afraid that he would be horrified. Because Shen Ao is like incarnating into a bottomless black hole at the moment, dark, deep, devouring everything.

Thankfully, it was all over quickly.

At the moment when the black light dissipated, the sword spirit Tianchou returned to the world again.

is still pale complexion and handsome face, but at this moment, Tianchou has a little less vicissitudes and majesty, and more "human" breath.

He raised his head slightly, and his pupils, as if he could see through time, quietly stared at this sky, which was no longer the same.

For some reason, Shen Ao could always feel a sadness that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved from this unknown sword spirit.

However, now is not the time to reminisce and look at the scenery, Shen Ao stubbornly said: "...... seniors?"

Sword Spirit Tianchou retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Ao and said, "I know what you want to ask, I can also tell you, and I also know the answer you want?"

"Well, you know, senior?"

"I don't mean anything to your thoughts, it's just that your realm is too low for me to see through at a glance. ”

"I can answer your question, but I want to ask you, is this your kendo or my kendo?"

Is your kendo or my kendo?

Shen Ao's face changed, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he stood on the ground for a while.

yes, is this the way of the sword? or is it his own kendo?

After a long time, Shen Ao finally recovered, he looked at Tianchou with a complicated face, then bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you." ”

Tianchou said: "You don't ask?"

"Don't ask. ”

Shen Ao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, as if a heavy shackle had been removed from his body.

Shen Ao knew very well that he had fallen into a demonic obstacle just now. The killings of these days, as well as the thirst for power, have brought him to the edge of the precipice.

Tianchou can certainly answer Shen Ao's questions, and in a short period of time, Shen Ao's sword path can be broken through and his strength can be improved. But this went against Shen Ao's original intention of swordsmanship, and at that time, the sword path that Shen Ao was pursuing was no longer a pure sword path that belonged to him.

Kendo, of course, can learn from the experience of predecessors, but not everything can be learned. If Shen Ao wants to create his own kendo, then when he encounters the threshold, the first thing he should think of is to cross the threshold with the long sword in his hand!

Sword Spirit Tianchou nodded slightly, and then turned into a ray of black light and burrowed into Shen Ao's body.

Shen Ao took a deep breath and walked towards his accommodation. In that short period of time just now, Shen Ao had already let go of his obsession and no longer demanded it.

Singing when you get it, and resting when you lose it, and being sad and hateful is also leisurely.

When it is time to understand, it will naturally understand. If the time has not come, you can't let go of your obsession, but you will fall behind.
