Chapter 189: Returning the Sword
Ye Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "I have devoted myself to kendo since I was a child, and I have dabbled in all ancient swordsmanship, although the imperial sword style is a master's forbidden cultivation, but I have secretly learned it when I was fourteen years old, but I have never dared to tell anyone."
"As I grew up, as my cultivation improved, I also understood Master's painstaking efforts to forbid us to practice this style of swordsmanship. As you said, this move is incomplete, and it is extremely murderous, which does not match the authentic mental method of our Caiyun Xuan Xuanmen, and there is indeed a risk of going mad if you barely cultivate. Just ......."
Ye Zhenzhen paused and continued: "It's just that I really wanted to win that day, before I used the Imperial Sword Style, I had already done my best, but although the scene was superior, Shi Ziling's True Yuan cultivation was obviously higher than me, so I was never able to win." ”
"I just thought I had to win this fight, and I would do whatever it took to do it. Alas, now that I think about it, this is already a precursor to falling into the devil. ”
"After my 'True Yuan Sword' was broken, I almost didn't think about it before I used the Edgeworth pose, hoping to win and save the situation. Who knows that the true yuan will soon be exhausted, if it weren't for Shi Ziling's timely rescue, I'm afraid that I would really go mad and even lose all my skills. ”
Huang Ying was silent, the situation that day was indeed as Ye Zhenzhen said, and she also understood that Ye Zhenzhen had done her best, but Shi Ziling's skills were superior, and she was really helpless.
Huang Ying said: "Having said that, but Shi Ziling rashly borrowed the sword without explaining the reason, I always feel that he is suspected of taking advantage of others." If it weren't for the severity of your injury, Senior Sister, which made me a little flustered, and Zhirou's persuasion from the side, I really wanted to fight Shi Ziling to the end. ”
Ye Zhenzhen said: "Senior sister, although I don't know why Shi Ziling rashly borrowed the sword, but I think he has no choice but to come. Besides, if he hadn't taken the Xuanyuan Divine Sword from me in time, with my situation at the time, I was afraid that I would be controlled by the spirit of the Divine Sword. ”
Huang Ying was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason.
Ye Zhenzhen said: "Senior sister, you have also tried the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, although it is extremely powerful, don't you think that the characteristics of the Divine Sword are not completely consistent with the swordsmanship of this sect with the theme of agility and elegance?"
Huang Ying frowned and said: "This is a little bit, the characteristics of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword seem to be a bit fierce and domineering, and it is different from the traditional sword path of our Caiyun Xuan, but it is a bit like it is all the way with the Imperial Sword Style." It's just that the power of the Excalibur is too powerful, and I never think about it so much, could it be that the spirituality of the Excalibur will really form a countermeasure to the sword wielder?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said: "Exactly, if I usually have no worries about this when I am full of energy, but after I was seriously overdrawn that day, my spirit was weakened, my spirit and spirit were extremely weak, and my heart was full of desire to win, and it was easy to be countered by the spirituality of the divine sword, and I was afraid that my years of cultivation would really be wasted." ”
Huang Ying was shocked and said, "Could it be so serious?"
Ye Zhenzhen said: "That's true, so in hindsight, although I hate myself for losing to Shiziling again, I don't hate Shiziling himself, on the contrary, I am quite grateful." And I don't think that Shi Ziling's borrowing of the sword is an artifact that covets the door, I guess he also has a last resort. ”
"As a last resort?"
Huang Ying said disapprerovingly: "Shi Ziling won the junior sister, your reputation will be even more prosperous in the future, and there is no one in the younger generation to match him, what can he do?"
Ye Zhenzhen said: "Senior sister, the power of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is huge, although Shi Ziling defeated me that day, I believe it is already the end of the strong crossbow." And he has been in the limelight too much recently, and there are rumors that he is related to the legendary nine-yuan clearance diagram, so there must be a lot of strong enemies. ”
"Not to mention anything else, he only went to Zhongzhou Mansion once, and he clashed with Tang Ying and Fang Zhenren of Ruyimen one after another, it is hard to guarantee that there is no similar powerful opponent secretly trying to deal with him, maybe he was aware of it and borrowed a sword from us. ”
Huang Ying said suspiciously: "Senior sister means that Shi Ziling sensed that someone was going to be unfavorable to him, so he borrowed a sword from us?" That day, he had Nangong Xia seniors and Zhirou and other masters by his side, who was so bold and dared to disadvantage him?
Ye Zhenzhen smiled indifferently and said: "The world is unpredictable, I am just guessing." However, I still believe that Shi Ziling will definitely return the Xuanyuan Divine Sword as scheduled. ”
Huang Ying hurriedly said: "Senior sister, you are too easy to believe in people, Master let us come to Tongle Fang to practice, just let us know the sinister nature of the world." The power of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is so huge, and Shi Ziling was almost defeated by the sword, once he succeeds, how can he easily return it? Besides, he said that he would wait for three months or even half a year before returning it, how could we hide it for so long?"
Ye Zhenzhen sighed lightly and said: "I also know that I can't hide it, I am ready to be severely punished by the master, no matter how the master handles me, I will not complain." It's just that...... It's just that I don't want Master to have a big fight with Shi Ziling because of this, I'm afraid ......."
Huang Ying heard the meaning of Ye Zhenzhen's words, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Does Senior Sister think that even the master can't deal with Shi Ziling......?" How is this possible?"
Ye Zhenzhen said solemnly: "After the battle of the Goddess Cliff, I can be regarded as truly understanding the true strength of Shiziling. If it is a tie, I believe that the master's strength is indeed above Shi Ziling, but now that the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is in the hands of Shi Ziling, if Shi Ziling really turns his face and does not recognize people, with the divine sword in hand, I am afraid that even the master may not be able to win the battle. ”
Huang Ying knew that this junior sister had always been very measured in her words and actions, since she said so, she was afraid that there was really such a possibility, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. She said, "But...... However, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is not something that everyone can use, and the Divine Sword is psychic, maybe Shi Ziling is not suitable for using the Divine Sword of this sect. ”
Ye Zhenzhen shook his head and said: "The characteristics of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword itself are a bit domineering and ostentatious, and it seems to be more suitable for men to use, in fact, our Caiyun Xuan's sword path may not be suitable for fully exerting the characteristics of the Divine Sword." And Shi Ziling is a person who has the strengths of several families, especially his method of operating the true yuan is quite special, others may not be able to give full play to the strengths of the divine sword, but Shi Ziling must be able to. ”
"Also, Shi Ziling's progress in martial arts is simply appalling, this person is definitely a martial arts wizard, after the battle of the Goddess Cliff, I am afraid that he will improve again, so I don't want the master to fight with him. ”
Huang Ying was silent, although she had always hated Shi Ziling, she had to admit that what Ye Zhenzhen said was true, Shi Ziling was indeed an extremely rare martial arts wizard, with his progress speed, coupled with the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, I am afraid that even the master Gongsun Auntie may not be able to win.
Huang Ying said: "Senior sister, what should I do? You also said that the master has probably heard about this, and with her old man's temper, she will definitely not give up." I think it's better for us to go to Zhirou to discuss it, and ask her to persuade Shi Ziling to return the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to us as soon as possible. ”
Ye Zhenzhen said: "Actually, I asked Duanmu Kang to inquire a few days ago, Shi Ziling did not come back with Master Su and Zhirou this time, it seems that he stayed in Pan'an County." So even if we go to Zhirou to discuss, I'm afraid it will be in vain. ”
"For the sake of today, I can only wait and see what happens, and I only hope that Shi Ziling can return the Excalibur before the master is furious, in that case, maybe the two sides will have room to maneuver. ”
At this moment, someone came in to report that Shi Ziling, the commander of the Songhu Legion, had brought Su Zhirou to visit.
Ye Zhenzhen and Huang Ying glanced at each other, their hearts were surprised and happy, Shi Ziling was not in Songhu City a few days ago, and now he came to visit as soon as he came back, could he come to return the Xuanyuan Divine Sword so soon?
Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou were introduced into the inner hall upstairs to entertain VIPs, and after seeing Ye Zhenzhen and Huang Ying come out, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Shi Ziling said: "Fairy Ye is in good health, right?"
Ye Zhenzhen replied: "Last time on the Goddess Cliff, thank you Shi Gongzi for helping in time, otherwise the little girl is afraid that it will be difficult to recover so quickly." At that time, I was so weak that I couldn't thank my son, so I was really embarrassed. I heard that Shi Gongzi was not in Songhu City a few days ago, did he just return from other places?"
Shi Ziling said: "Exactly, I just returned to Songhu City last night, and I came early this morning to return the Xuanyuan Sword and apologize to the two of you." ”
When Huang Ying heard that Shi Ziling had really come to return the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, she immediately relieved her mind and said with a smile: "Finally, you still have some credit, and you returned the Divine Sword early, I originally planned to go to your Dutong Mansion to urge it! Well, for Zhirou's sake, we won't blame you, hurry up and bring it!"
Ye Zhenzhen was really careful, and found that Su Zhirou's expression was a little wrong, and there seemed to be some apology and uneasiness on her face, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked, "Zhirou, what's wrong with you?"
Su Zhirou said in fear: "Sister Zhenzhen, Sister Huang Ying, don't blame your husband, he didn't mean it......"
Huang Ying was surprised: "What's the matter, Zhirou? Didn't Shi Ziling say that he came to return the Divine Sword? Why did he change his hexagram again?"
Shi Ziling hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm ...... Alas, the two of them knew it at a glance. ”
As he spoke, he took off the Xuanyuan sword on his back with the sheath, and held it up with both hands in front of Ye Zhenzhen and Huang Ying.
Huang Ying was anxious, reached out and took the Xuanyuan sword and pulled it out to watch, but she didn't see anything unusual for a while, and saw that it was indeed the treasure of Caiyunxuan's town gate, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the sword is not damaged, and even the scabbard is the original match, I was really startled by you." If there is any damage to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, our Caiyun Xuan will not be finished with you!"
Ye Zhenzhen saw that Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou's expressions were a little wrong, and she was puzzled, she took the Xuanyuan Sword in Huang Ying's hand and looked at it carefully, and suddenly her expression changed greatly.
