Chapter 6: Asking the Sword
As the eldest young master of the Ye family, Ye Jianzang, who has been taught by Ye Xizhao to practice swords since he was a child, of course he also knows this past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although every time he mentioned it, the cool fifth uncle always put on a very disdainful expression, saying that the hero didn't mention the Yong back then, such a trivial matter, what do you do? But as Ye Jianzang, who knew him best and aimed at him, how could he not see the silverless Deser in his eyes?
Looking at the expressions of the people around him now, Ye Jianzang certainly knew what they were thinking, but he just smiled and ignored it.
This year is different from that year.
He is Ye Xizhao, and he is Ye Jianzang, this is the biggest difference.
On the other hand, looking at the people around him, looking at Ye Jianzang who was light and breezy in front of him, he couldn't help but think: Could it be that the shadow of the sunset back then is going to descend on the sword path again?
Now that the fifth place on the Qingyun list has been defeated, will the first be far away?
After the Qingyun list, is it the turn of Biluo to fall off the list?
Sword Saint Wuji is still firmly in the name of "the first sword in the world", so now that you are here, will he close the door again?
Many questions linger in my mind, but I don't get answers. Because the person who could give the answer had already gone back after Twilight had left.
"It's all gone, today's prayer post, that's the end of it, everyone please be early tomorrow. Ye Jianzang waved his hand, and his figure disappeared between the mountain roads.
Only that sword pool, shining brightly, is still telling the story of the past three months.
So the people dispersed.
Night.
A secret letter was sent out of Qinglong City through the most secret channel and sent to the red makeup mirror of Queen Yu Wutang.
The queen glanced at it casually, did not open it immediately, but calmly removed her makeup, then bathed, and then relaxed her waist and lay down on the gums, and then picked up the secret letter, and looked at it slowly under the soft light.
Maybe it was because she had read too many pieces in one day, and her brows were slightly locked, looking a little tired.
But after reading this secret letter, the queen's brows bloomed like cold plums in the winter snow, and suddenly "fluttered", and she smiled coquettishly: "What nonsense......"
A young and beautiful maid next to her, who has been serving the queen for many years, knows her temperament very well, and knows that the queen is in a good mood at this time, and the reason is in this letter. So he also smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the queen, why are you so happy?"
"Guess?" the queen laughed.
The maid thought for a moment and said, "Is it related to the young dean?"
"Clever!" the Queen gave her an appreciative look.
Along with that, there was the secret letter.
The maid, with the most respectful attitude, took her gaze and the secret letter together, and began to read.
The letter was not very much, and the maid read it quickly, and after a few breaths she had finished it, and then asked with a smile, "Then ...... do you mean, Queen?"
"Hehe......"
The queen smiled comfortably, as if a kind elder was very tolerant of the bear child in the family. She said to the maid, "Since he likes to make trouble, let him make trouble......
"Yes. The slave and maid will do it. The maid answered, and then withdrew.
That night, another secret letter was sent out of the palace and into Qinglong through unknown channels.
......
......
On the second day, the autumn wind was bleak as before, the green dragon was in front, and the crowd was still the same.
The young man in the luxurious yellow robe, still wearing the ridiculous pair of sunglasses, stood behind the gate, waiting for the person who came to deliver the sword...... Oh no, it's the one who worships the poster.
The scarred swords on the sword pool still shone in the sun.
Everything is the same as it has been for the past three months, not much different.
But today, the focus of people's eyes seems to have changed a little.
This change comes from three people.
There were three old men over half a hundred years old, with half-white hair, white eyebrows and white beards, they were wearing black robes, loose but not cumbersome, simple but elegant, looking a little solemn, giving people a meticulous feeling.
They are on one side of the world, not the other.
Which side is this?
It's Ye Jianzang's side.
But it was clear that the three old men had not come to pay their respects, for they did not have swords in their hands. Although their aura was very calm and steady, sitting there was like three monuments that did not move through the wind and rain—that was the aura that could only be emitted at least in the late sixth order, but they really didn't have a sword in their hands.
Not to mention the sword, there is not even a trace of sword energy.
The three old men sat on the mountain road, with a small bench under their buttocks, and a desk in front of them. On the desk were a few pieces of white paper, a few pens, and a thick ink that had been polished by an inkstone.
As soon as Ye Jianzang saw these three old men, he suddenly laughed. Because in the bodies of these three old men, he smelled a smell that he was very familiar with.
-- These three old men are amazing painters!
Suddenly a breeze blew, and the people screamed.
I saw the breeze blowing the clothes of the three old men, and the three big characters behind them were faintly visible. Those three words were very large, although there were only three, but they occupied the back of the old man, from top to bottom, like a banner......
Oh, and I should say it's vertical.
Those three characters are also white, and the font is not the usual square font, but ...... The young round body, the kind that looks cute.
There is also a very cute girl's head painted next to it, the avatar is not big, it looks like a trademark, but this trademark is very vivid, a few strokes, the girl seems to come to life, sticking out her tongue and making a face, feeling cute.
Serious black robe, cute, big and white small round characters, cute and cute head...... Extremely strong contrast, this is eye-catching.
Visible to all.
And the exclamation came from these three eye-catching big characters.
Those three words are: Heaven - Machine - Palace!
These three old men are not ordinary painters, they are actually painters from Tianji Palace!
No one dares to doubt their identity, because the world is so big, and there are many fancy dresses, but the people who dare to wear this kind of black robe in the Valley of the Queens who don't know whether it is serious or cute are there and only Tianji Palace!
- Because it was designed by the queen Yu Wu Tang herself!
Although it looks very funny and easy to make people laugh, no one dares to laugh, because it is indeed the handwriting of Queen Yu Wutang.
The Queen's aesthetic is so capricious.
...... Well.
At this moment, looking at these three painters, people's breathing couldn't help but become short, and an absurd thought suddenly appeared in their minds.
As we all know, "Love Crazy" is a magic tool invented by the dwarves, and it has many functions, and taking photos is also one of them, which can record the scene meticulously and vividly. It is precisely because of the emergence of love madness that the profession of "painter" has become less and less, and except for a few people who dedicate their lives to art, few people will engage in this profession again.
And why does such an important institution as Tianji Palace have painters instead of photographers? The reason is very simple, because Queen Yu Wutang doesn't like it.
Because she doesn't like photographers, she prefers painters, so Tianji Palace has painters, and they are all of a high level.
It's as tall as a building of several stories.
The Queen's preference has always been so capricious.
...... Well.
However, these are not the point, the point is: the painters of the Tianji Palace will only appear at one time, and that is when the Sword Asking Conference is held. And when the Sword Asking Conference is over, it is often the time for the Qingyun List and the Biluo List to change the list.
For example, today's painter of the Machine Palace would actually appear on the Qinglong Residence at this time? Could it be that ...... This year's two lists, are they going to be replaced in advance?
Thinking of this, the eyes of the people in front of the realm suddenly lit up!
The crowd watching the lively melon eaters were thinking: Gossip! Fresh and hot gossip!
And the hearts of cultivators with cultivation have become even fresher and hotter than those freshly hot big gossip at this time. They are all thinking: what a chance! What a chance to become famous in one fell swoop!
If you can make the list, it will really be a good thing that you will wake up laughing when you dream about it!
...... Well, if Bi falls off the list, ordinary people don't think about it, it's a patent on the seventh order, as for the Qingyun list, and the lower-level mountains and rivers list, it's still worth fighting!
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you can't be on the list for a while, as long as you perform well, in exchange for the three painters to nod your head, or even a look of approval, it is also an inexhaustible benefit! Because there are 3,000 avenues, because there are many choices, it is easy to get lost. And the nods or approvals of these three painters at least show that the path they have chosen is right, and they can continue to work hard and keep working hard.
"So...... This year's Sword Questioning Conference ......"
"Are you going to ask Ye Jianzang about this sword?"
......
Today, I want to send a sword...... Oh no, there are a lot of people who want to pay homage, and everyone has Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, eager to try.
But if you want to try, after all, it is not a real try, although there are many people who are excited, but there are very few people who act.
Under the brewing of many emotions such as entanglement, hesitation, wait-and-see, temptation, and secret comparison, after a long time, someone finally came out of the crowd.
He was also a very young swordsman.
The so-called youth is only relative to the lifespan of a cultivator who can easily live for hundreds of years. In fact, this swordsman is already a hundred years old, but in terms of the life that his current realm should have, at best, he has only stepped through a quarter.
Four words: like the sun in the sky.
The crowd of onlookers who were cultivating for nothing but had a unique vision to eat melons, as soon as they saw this swordsman, their eyes suddenly lit up: "After waiting for a long time, there is finally a weighty person!"
The eyes were bright, but there was a bit of blazing flames.
It was a raging fire of gossip.
I saw this swordsman, dressed in green clothes, tall as pine, with a long sword in his hand, as sharp as pine needles.
When the crowd of onlookers didn't see this swordsman, they would never remember who he was. But when they saw him, they immediately remembered: this person is Qingsong Jian, Nankesong, and Qingyun Ranking-Eleventh!
Eleventh is a very delicate number, because it happens to be right after tenth.
Eleventh is also a very embarrassing number, also because it happens to be right behind tenth.
The idea of human beings is sometimes interesting. People will remember the top ten masters, the top ten famous swords, the top ten alien fires, the top ten sages, the top ten artifacts, the top ten races, and so on...... There will be all kinds of top 10.
Take those onlookers who have no cultivation but have a unique vision to eat melons, you ask them to tell who is the top ten masters in the world today, they can definitely say who is the first in the world, who is the second in the world, all the way to the tenth, and they can also tell their life deeds a four, four, six, six, and six, with objective and authoritative evidence, as well as more subjective and non-authoritative personal comments.
But if you ask him: What about the eleventh?
Then they will stare dryly: "Eleventh, who is it......
"Which one?"
"Forehead ......"
You see, it's embarrassing, isn't it?
And before today, Nan Kesong was also a little embarrassed, because he happened to be the eleventh.
But today, after meeting the three painters of Tianji Palace, his embarrassment was successfully transformed into confidence and ambition.
Because he never thought that he was weaker than Yang Banjiang, who ranked tenth, if it weren't for the last time he asked the sword conference, he couldn't hold his breath for a while, and was angered by the pride of that guy who didn't know where it came from, so that he messed up, then the person who suffered this embarrassment now should be Yang Banjiang, not himself.
More importantly, Yang Banjiang, who ranked tenth...... It's gone!
Right here!
Right under that boy's sword!
His broken sword is still inserted in that realm sword pool, and it is inconspicuous!
If you can perform a little better and get into the eyes of those three painters, then it is not impossible to be ninth, eighth, or even seventh and sixth!
The top five are all perverts, and he doesn't want to, but the gap between the fifth to the tenth or even the hundredth is often that you play ninety percent of your strength, and I only play the difference of eighty percent and nine.
Fight for it a little, and the difference is very different.
Therefore, Nan Kesong stood up with confidence, and he believed that under Yang Banjiang's "encouragement", he would definitely be able to break through himself.
At this moment, in the midst of everyone's anticipation, the painter holding the pen suddenly raised his head to look at him, and then shook his head.
Shaking your head means negative.
That means: You can't.
Nan Kesong's face suddenly turned pale, as if struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at the painter with disbelieving eyes.
He was asking: Yang Banjiang is okay, ninety-eight is okay, why can't I?
However, the painter was speechless and did not give any explanation.
Nan Kesong was not convinced, and wanted to come forward to argue. But as soon as his feet stepped across the boundary, and before he touched the ground, there was suddenly another person in front of him, a man also dressed in green clothes.
Then he couldn't step on his feet anymore.
Because he knew that this was the Blue Dragon Guard lurking in the middle of nowhere—no one in the Green Dragon City had ever dared to challenge the majesty of the Blue Dragon Guard, just as no one had ever dared to challenge the majesty of the Queen in the Valley of the Queens.
"Why?" the man of Nankesong stepped back, but the voice rushed forward.
The painter was still speechless, and this time he didn't even shake his head, let alone look at him a second time, so his voice, of course, was as if he hadn't heard it.
At this time, Ye Jianzang suddenly spoke: "Let him come over, so that he can die." ”
So the green dragon guard disappeared again.
Nan Kesong was ecstatic, he didn't ask why, he strode directly, and then drew his sword: "Thank you Young Master Ye, please advise!"
"Your sword is not very good, but the words are quite appropriate!" Ye Jianzang said with a smile.
Nan Kesong was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't figure out what he meant by this, but at this time he didn't want to think about it, so he saluted, and then stood with his eyes intended, and the sword intent was not released.
"Please draw your sword. ”
His name is Ke Song, and the sword is also a green pine, at this time, the sword intent is condensed, and it is really like the green pine of Nanshan, standing upright.
At this point, the painter finally looked up at him a second time, but this time, he still shook his head, and then put his brush down.
There was a soft sound, which was the sound of the barrel touching the pen holder.
But at the same time, there was a soft sound of "swish".
This sound was so light that only Nan Kesong himself could hear it. Then, he felt only a slight coolness, as if a breeze had blown off the old pine needles on the hills. Immediately afterwards, Ye Jianzang's voice came from the front. He said, "Unlock your sword, and then get out of ...... Go out and turn left, do not send. ”
"What do you mean?"
Nan Kesong's sword intent was strong at this time, and he was about to send it, and when he suddenly heard this sentence, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. However, before he could say anything, he suddenly saw pine needles falling.
It wasn't really pine needles, that handful of hair.
The long, thin, windswept before falling to the ground, and then drifted away. It looks a lot like pine needles blown off by the wind. Then, Nan Kesong suddenly felt a chill to his bones.
It turned out that he had already drawn out his sword, just when his sword intent was at its strongest, and what was even more terrifying was that he couldn't even see his sword! If this sword was not merciless, then the two words that fell now would probably only be the one in front of him.
No wonder the artist shook his head!
No wonder he would say that he would let himself die...... I see...... I see!
At this moment, Nan Kesong's heart is really dead, how can he enter the eyes of the Heavenly Machine Palace with such an unbearable performance? Not to mention the tenth, I'm afraid the eleventh won't be able to keep it, right?
The first to flirt is cheap, and there is no complaint to die!
Resign yourself to your fate......
"Hey......" Nan Kesong sighed softly, and wanted to turn around and leave. But at this moment, the Qinglongwei suddenly appeared again, blocking his steps.
He was puzzled, so he asked with his eyes.
Qinglongwei didn't say anything, but pointed to his waist.
There is a sword at the waist.
Thinking of the rules here, Nan Kesong suddenly realized, sighed lightly again, and then silently untied his sword, adding a new spring to the Boundary Sword Pool.
But why......
At the moment of turning around, when Nan Kesong saw the tenth-ranked "Ser Red" that was obviously dull because it was broken, he suddenly felt a little dazzling?
......
An hour later, when everyone didn't realize it, the Qingyun List, which had not changed for three years, suddenly had a new change.
-- The "Green Pine Sword", which ranked eleventh, quietly moved forward one place and became tenth.
Out of remembrance, Nan Kesong was looking at Qingyun Bang at this time, so he discovered this change as soon as possible.
He was shocked, because the Qingyun List had really changed, and it had changed in advance - the Sword Asking Conference had opened in advance!
He was ecstatic because he had really become tenth!
Surprised, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment, and then, a cloud of doubt like thick ink surged into his heart.
He doesn't understand.
Why is it that he has obviously been defeated, his sword has also been lost, and he is in a very unbearable posture, but he can still enter the tenth? But fortunately, every time the Qingyun List is replaced, it will be accompanied by authoritative comments from Tianji Palace, and I believe the answer is there.
So Nan Kesong hurriedly checked, and after a look, he really found something.
I saw that under the three words "Nankesong", a very brief sentence was written: a leaf is blind, and it is self-contained, so it is only worthy of tenth.
Nan Kesong was stunned for a moment, half a sound, and suddenly a cold sweat fell. (To be continued.) )
