Volume 1: Wind and Snow Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Coincidence in the Rivers and Lakes The swordsman asked
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Han and Qin Sanguan and others also became acquainted.
Although Qin Sanguan and the others were still smiling and smiling on their faces, he knew very well in his heart that this was just a few people's pretense of calmness, and in their hearts, they were afraid that they were panicked and uneasy, after all, if they lost their darts, they were afraid that this matter would be difficult to be good.
After being full of wine and food, the group rushed to Crescent City in the wind and snow.
Crescent City is the second largest city in Changfeng County, the city wall is about 30 zhang high, and the thickness is also up to 1 zhang, all of which are made of solid stone and different iron, and from a distance, it looks like a silent and creeping giant beast, quietly waiting for the arrival of its prey.
There is a forbidden law in Crescent City, which covers the whole city, can block the wind and snow, and the four seasons are like spring.
The city is full of traffic, and there are high platforms and pavilions everywhere; Even the pavement under your feet is paved with the finest bluestone jade; In the past, pedestrians dressed gorgeously, wearing brocade and drape, dotted beads and jade, the prosperous scene is like a heavenly palace.
Although this place is more than ten times more prosperous than Wind Snow City, Xiao Han, who is used to seeing such a scene, is not surprised.
Qin Sanguan led him through the streets and alleys, and came to a magnificent mansion in all directions.
The gate of the mansion is about three zhang high, painted with vermilion lacquer and gold, and there is a large plaque hanging above the door, and the plaque is inlaid with four gilded characters: Central Plains Dart Bureau!
This is the Central Plains Dart Game, one of the two major forces in Crescent City!
In front of the gate of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, there were four people standing guards, and as soon as they saw Qin Sanguan and the others, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile, while Qin Sanguan and the others just smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly walked in with Xiao Han.
The interior of the Central Plains Dart Bureau is not as Xiao Han thought, full of the vulgar atmosphere of a martial artist, on the contrary, the internal layout is very elegant, full of literati atmosphere.
When he came to the lobby, before Qin Sanguan could introduce him, Xiao Han's face showed a look of surprise, because he found a person who was neither an acquaintance nor an acquaintance, this person was none other than the lost hero swordsman he met when he killed Bai Qiufeng in the past.
Not only was he quite surprised, but even the swordsman didn't expect to meet him here, and there was also a look of surprise on his face, but the two of them were tacitly unspoken.
There is not only a swordsman in the lobby, in the first seat, there is also a gray-haired old man, Qin Sanguan introduced that this is their chief dart head Yue Zhongyuan!
Yue Zhongyuan saw Qin Sanguan and the others with bitter faces, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, something really happened?"
Qin Sanguan bent his body and said ashamedly: "The head of the dart, I'm sorry, this time I missed!" We went halfway, encountered the Tiger Overlord Sword Ten Thousand Kills and robbed the dart, killed dozens of brothers, and even the dart was robbed by him, we chased all the way to the sunset slope, fortunately Xiao Gongzi helped, although we successfully killed the knife ten thousand kills, but we searched all over his body, but we did not find the robbed dart, I suspect that he still has accomplices, so I came back and wanted to ask the head of the dart what to do?"
However, when Yue Zhongyuan heard this, he didn't say a word for a long time, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was pondering and considering how to deal with it.
Xiao Han didn't speak, just stood aside and quietly observed the swordsman, and the swordsman was also observing him.
The two looked at each other, the dark light flowed, and each had their own thoughts.
After a while, Yue Zhongyuan sighed and said, "I already know about this matter, you go down first, and prepare a good guest room for Xiao Gongzi." ”
Qin Sanguan nodded and said, "Then I'll retire later!"
Before Xiao Han left, he glanced at the swordsman again, and then followed Qin Sanguan out.
Qin Sanguan took him to a small courtyard full of green pines and bamboos, and after chatting for a while, he left.
Coming to the Central Plains Dart Bureau with Qin Sanguan was just a stopper, but now that Yue Zhongyuan didn't ask him, he decided to do his own thing first.
After fighting with Dao Wan Killing, he understood that he was weak in weapons, so he wanted to go into the city to purchase some spirit mines, and then turn back to the Liuyun Sect to create a suitable spirit sword.
However, just as he was about to go out, the swordsman came up to him.
Xiao Han frowned slightly, and did not speak, but wanted to see what the other party was going to do.
I saw the swordsman slowly walking closer, and said indifferently: "I never thought that I hadn't seen you for a few months, but your cultivation has grown to this point!"
Before, because of the restriction of cultivation, his divine sense was affected, so he failed to find out the strength of the swordsman, but now he is a martial artist in the middle of the True Yuan Realm, and his divine sense is comparable to the divine consciousness of a master of the Xuan Realm, so the cultivation of the swordsman can no longer be hidden in front of him.
Looking at his restrained aura, it seems that he has reached the peak of the spiritual realm!
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows, this cultivation is higher than Mo Tianyun and Mu Tianfeng, it stands to reason that this person should not be an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, but why has he never heard of the name of a swordsman? Could it be that he is also a hidden master?
Although he didn't have any feelings for the swordsman, he didn't dare to slack off, and just said lightly: "No matter how fast my cultivation grows, it is still not higher than the cultivation of my predecessors!"
The swordsman glanced at him deeply, and said calmly, "Won't Xiao Gongzi invite me to come in and sit down?"
Xiao Han frowned, he had never seen such an unkind person, but since the other party said so, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he said "please".
In the room, the swordsman looked at Xiao Han carefully, and said with a little surprise: "You are the inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect who has recently become famous all over the world, Xiao Han, right?"
Xiao Han's eyelids were raised, he didn't expect the other party to know him, and he couldn't help but be on guard.
The swordsman knew his concerns, and chuckled: "You don't have to be too nervous, I just heard about you from others, I have seen your portrait, and I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to talk to you." ”
"You and I don't know each other, what is there to talk about?"
"Talk about the sword!" The swordsman said lightly: "I heard that you have comprehended the sword intent, and you have reached the second order of the sword intent! You can comprehend such a sword intent at such an age, and I want to have a deep understanding of the sword, and it just so happens that I also have a comprehension of the sword, so why not exchange a thing or two?"
Xiao Han didn't rush to answer, but thought quietly, if the other party really wanted to exchange kendo, then it would be okay to learn from each other, but this swordsman was not an ordinary person, and he didn't know much about him, maybe the other party had other purposes, so it was better to be careful.
I saw him nod and said softly, "Okay! Then I'll get an axe!"
The swordsman smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think is a sword?"
Xiao Han thought for a while and said: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, all things were born, and people sharpened stones and wood into swords, in order to protect themselves and hunt for food, but in general, it was to survive, so the belief in survival at that time was the sword!"
The swordsman nodded and said, "The sword you are talking about is not a tangible sword, but an invisible sword, which is the soul of the sword and the meaning of the sword, which makes sense!
"In ancient times, the rise of martial arts, the world's thousands of avenues, unique swords led the way, at that time, the swordsman, actively pursued the top of the sword, the heart of the Tao is pure and single, so their heart of the sword, is the sword!"
Xiao Han said again: "After the Great War in ancient times, the cultivation resources in the world were scarce, so the heroes rose together, opened a sect, and the killing and competition continued, and the blood stained the mountains and rivers! At this time, most of the sword hearts were covered with dust, and the greedy ones were only for fame and profit, and they respected the strong, and gradually derived the killing heart, so in their eyes, the sword was a killing soldier and a tool to climb to the top. ”
Xiao Han's words were getting a little colder, and the swordsman was also aware of it, so he turned around and asked in time: "Then in your heart, what is a sword?"
Xiao Han glanced at the swordsman thoughtfully, and the other party asked this, obviously wanting to spy on him.
He rolled his eyes and said: "On this river and lake, I want to ask for the Tao, first of all, I must live, and the rivers and lakes are deep, and killing can never be avoided, so the sword is a cold front killing weapon, but the sword heart is indeed clear!"
The swordsman knew that Xiao Han was light and avoided, but he did not pursue it, but said calmly: "Today, the situation is turbulent, the world is chaotic, human nature is greedy, dissatisfied, and unscrupulous means for fame and profit, the warrior bullies the weak, kills people and does not pay for their lives, lawlessness, swordsmen are in troubled times, people are swords, swords are also people, people are swords, people are swords, they are all killing bodies!"
Xiao Han heard that the other party was refuting his view that "the heart and the sword are different", but he didn't have anything, just quietly continued to listen to him: "The swords of the world are all people's hearts, and they are made by the way of the sword, and the heart and sword are one!"
Xiao Han has experienced a hundred years of life, is accustomed to seeing ups and downs, sees through the world, thinks that what he said is not unreasonable, and only sighs: "The world is impermanent, and human nature is unpredictable!"
The swordsman smiled, picked up the wine gourd on his waist, poured it violently, and handed it to Xiao Han.
Through this brief conversation, Xiao Han has a general understanding of the swordsman's personality, and combined with the last encounter, he understands that the other party should be a hero who has been worn out by the rivers and lakes.
He was not polite, nor did he treat the other party as a senior in the Spirit Transformation Realm, took the wine gourd, and drank a few times.
When the wine fell into his bowels, Xiao Han suddenly felt a flame-like power, which instantly soothed the typhoid fever that had accumulated due to his cultivation of "Cold Soul Divine Skill", and he couldn't help but be surprised.
can have such a miraculous effect, I am afraid that this wine is at least comparable to the best existence among the three medicinal pills.
I didn't expect that there would be such a harvest after a conversation, which was really unexpected.
Seeing that his personality was also like a bold person, the swordsman had an uninhibited temperament, so he laughed a few times and talked freely.
