Two days.
Flying Fish Town, Dusk.
Chu Qingxiao, who had a bruise on his face, rubbed his arm while following behind Chu Zhaozhao.
"Miss Chu, you were too ruthless yesterday, right?" Chu Qingxiao grinned and complained.
The girl on the dark horse in front of her looked around the street without looking back, "Who told you to be so cowardly yesterday?" ”
"I've pressed my cultivation to the first level, but you don't even dare to fight it back."
"It's the first time I've seen a timid man like you."
"I was a little more ruthless in order to stimulate your fighting spirit, who knows that you still only know how to dodge, so I accidentally hurt you."
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he frowned and said, "I think that the sword has no eyes, and it is not good to hurt people......"
"Hmph, coward. This girl has her own measure, you are so timid, how can you practice? ”
"I think the actual combat will be avoided in the future, you can start with refining the body first, and from tomorrow I will make a plan for you to refine the body."
"But......" Chu Qingxiao was about to say something more.
Chu Zhaozhao, who was walking in front, suddenly had a light in his eyes, as if he had found something extremely important, and led the horse and walked up quickly.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and hurriedly followed.
The girl came to a blacksmith shop on the side of the street, looked at the shopkeeper who was sweating profusely by the stove in the shop, and said, "Uncle, can you mend the sword?" ”
The owner of the blacksmith shop was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with dark skin and bulging muscles on his naked body, who looked like he had been engaged in manual work all year round.
Facing Chu Zhaozhao's inquiry, the middle-aged man grinned and said, "The girl is right, I can't mend the sword, what is this blacksmith doing?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stuffed the reins into Chu Qingxiao's hand, and then hurriedly took out the things on his back from behind him.
It was a sword wrapped in white cloth, with a few gaps in the exposed hilt, and it looked quite old.
Chu Zhaozhao carefully held the sword body with both hands, put it on the platform of the blacksmith shop, and then carefully pulled open the wrapped white cloth.
Seeing that Chu Zhaozhao was so cautious, the shopkeeper was also interested, staring at the long sword that revealed its original appearance as the white cloth was torn apart, secretly thinking that the thing that could be treated so carefully by Chu Zhaozhao must be a sword, it was a big job, thinking of this, his heart was also a little excited.
Until......
He saw what the sword looked like.
It was a very special sword.
The body of the sword was yellowed, and most of the sword body was covered with heavy rust, and some places had been completely corroded by rust, forming gaps. Even because of the serious corrosion, the entire sword body is a little bent.
It was not so much a sword as a rotten piece of iron with a wooden handle.
"Big tree, can you make it up?" Chu Zhaozhao held the sword in both hands and looked at the blacksmith expectantly.
The blacksmith's face was pale, staring at Chu Zhaozhao, gritting his teeth and spitting out a word from his mouth.
"Get out!"
……
"What can I do about this?" In a restaurant, Chu Zhaozhao supported his face with both hands, looked at the rusty sword placed aside with a sad face, and muttered in his mouth, he had no appetite for the sumptuous meals on the table.
Chu Qingxiao probably understood her troubles, and after taking a bite of food at that time, he immediately asked, "Can't the girl change a sword?" ”
"The sword intent nourished by the sword cultivation technique is different from ordinary sword cultivation."
"Ordinary sword cultivation is to use the sword first, and then give birth to sword intent."
"And the trick of watching the sword and cultivating the intention is the gentleman's intention, and then use the sword."
"The first sword you hold is the sword recognized by the sword intent in your body, except for this sword, there is no other sword that can stimulate the sword intent in your body." Chu Zhaozhao said with some annoyance, and his eyes were full of disgust when he looked at the rusty sword.
Chu Qingxiao took another big bite of food: "Then what if the sword is broken?" ”
"Then for the rest of your life, even if there is a sword intent in your body that is as turbulent as a river and sea, it will be difficult to use it." Chu Zhaozhao responded like this, and added at the end.
"This method is unique to Tianhang Mountain, a method created for the Yaoguang Sword Pool, and even if it is the lowest-grade spirit sword in the sword pool, if it is placed on the market, it is also a priceless treasure, where can ordinary people break this sword?"
"I'm out of luck...... I have raised the sword intent for twelve years, but I have taken such a sword ......"
Chu Zhaozhao stimulated the sword intent that he had cultivated for twelve years, and took the rusty sword in order to help Chu Qingxiao defeat the candle dragon.
In the final analysis, it was Chu Qingxiao who owed her, and it stands to reason that Chu Zhaozhao was so distressed at the moment, so Chu Qingxiao had to be comforted.
But Chu Qingxiao, who heard Chu Zhaozhao's words, frowned, and said seriously: "Commander Song once said that swordsmen love swords, and swordsmen love swords, this is human nature. ”
"But a man is a master, and a tool is a servant."
"Human imperial weapons are the way of the right path...... I heard the girl say......"
"You have been practicing for more than ten years, but it seems that you have fallen behind in order to control people......"
Chu Qingxiao said it seriously, and Chu Zhaozhao was immediately angry when he heard it.
"What kind of people control weapons, what kind of weapons control people, that's all crooked heresy."
"There is a way of three thousand, and in the hundreds of years that I have been hanging from the mountain, there are not a few ancestors who have relied on this method to achieve the realm of gods!"
Chu Zhaozhao said this, but suddenly paused, a little excited, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, why am I arguing with you." ”
"You don't even dare to hold a sword, what can I talk about when I talk to you about kendo?"
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he was about to explain something.
"This girl's words are not right!"
"Why can't people who haven't learned kendo discuss kendo?" A clear voice came from the side, Chu Qingxiao and the others both looked sideways, only to see a pink-faced young man dressed in white at the next table standing up from his wine table, holding the wine glass in his hand and sitting at their wine table.
Chu Qingxiao was a little stunned, Chu Zhaozhao also blinked his eyes, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "No...... Big brother, who are you? ”
The young man's appearance was handsome, with a sense of bookishness, and when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Meng Ziliang, I just heard and heard about the way of the sword, unfortunately, I am also a person who loves swords, so I can't help but come to talk, and I hope the two of you don't blame." ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao looked up and down at Meng Ziliang, who was full of bookishness, and asked suspiciously, "You can also use a sword like this?" ”
"The girl's eyes are like torches, and she really hasn't really learned kendo yet." Meng Ziliang said this, but he was not a little annoyed because of the contempt in Chu Zhaozhao's words, but still smiled: "But in the next day, I will definitely use a sword, and ......"
"I will become a famous kendo immortal in history!"
Chu Zhaozhao blinked, and looked up and down again at the confident young man in front of him.
Then he nodded and said from the bottom of his heart, "Good luck......"
After saying this, Chu Zhaozhao looked sideways to the side, unwilling to pay attention to this half-way Cheng Biting Jin.
"......Forehead" Chu Zhaozhao's attitude made Meng Ziliang a little embarrassed, he raised his wine glass and looked at Chu Qingxiao on the side, with a smile on his face: "This brother, I just listened to what you said, and I know that you have a unique insight into the way of the sword, and I don't know if you are willing to discuss the way with me, which will be beneficial to each other's understanding of the way of the sword." ”
Chu Qingxiao was also a little confused, how could he not have imagined that there was such a familiar guy in this world.
Although this act of suddenly pulling a stranger to discuss kendo is really outrageous, Chu Qingxiao doesn't have much ill feeling towards the guy in front of him.
This Meng Ziliang's eyes are clear, and the enthusiasm between his eyebrows does not seem to be fake, but this self-familiar enthusiasm is indeed a little overwhelming.
"Brother Tai looks down on me, I just heard people say some things about swordsmanship, and I just follow the crowd......" Chu Qingxiao said with a wry smile.
Chu Zhaozhao sneered: "You are still self-aware. ”
When Meng Ziliang heard this, he showed regret on his face, and he was about to get up, when he suddenly saw the rusty sword that Chu Zhaozhao put aside.
"This sword is unique......," he muttered, and his curiosity drove him to reach for it.
Chu Zhaozhao was shocked when she saw this, knowing that this sword was something she would be able to live in the future.
"Don't touch it!" She let out a loud shout and pushed Meng Ziliang aside.
It was not only the reason why she was anxious and used too much force, but also because of Meng Ziliang's weak body, in short, with this push, Meng Ziliang's body took a few steps back and fell heavily to the ground.
But at this time, outside the restaurant, there was a sudden commotion.
Everyone looked for a sound, only to see a group of armor soldiers dressed in white armor passing outside the restaurant, the armor soldiers walked heavily, the formation was tight, and the whole body was filled with a solemn aura, and at first glance they were battle-hardened soldiers.
But the leader of such a group of armor soldiers was a woman dressed in black men's clothes and carrying two guns.
The woman was about 20 years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pretty appearance, and at the same time a heroic spirit that ordinary women did not have.
The arrival of such a group of people made the people on the street almost subconsciously avoid it, and the woman at the head looked around, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look in the direction where Chu Qingxiao and the others were in the wine shop.
Her eyes lit up, but the next moment she could see the appearance of Meng Ziliang falling to the ground and Chu Zhaozhao holding a sword in one hand and the other hand, still maintaining the posture when Meng Ziliang was launched.
A violent look suddenly appeared on the woman's face.
"Thief, you dare to hurt my brother!"
She burst into a shout and held the two guns on her back in her hands, and more than a dozen armor soldiers behind her also responded and rushed into the restaurant.
Where have the diners of the restaurant seen this posture, they have retreated.
The armor soldiers rushed in, and the woman led by them stepped on the wooden table, jumped high, and the two guns in her hands were like spiritual snakes, and came straight to Chu Zhaozhao's front door.
"Sister, isn't it ......" Meng Ziliang, who fell to the ground, wanted to explain loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the shouts of the group of armor soldiers.
Chu Zhaozhao also came back to her senses, and she was obviously a little angry at the woman's indiscretion.
She put the rusty sword back on her back at that time, stretched out one hand, and pushed Chu Qingxiao, who was still in a daze, to the side, and then her body flashed, and she also retreated to the other side.
Rumble!
Just hear a muffled sound.
The wooden table where they had just stood was shattered by the spear in the woman's hand.
This is obviously a dead hand!
The anger in Chu Zhaozhao's heart was even worse, and his spiritual power was surging, and he was about to step forward, but at this time, the armor soldier who came with the woman also came to the front.
The tacit cooperation of these armor soldiers, the spear in their hands was fierce, sealing the direction of Chu Zhaozhao's attack, Chu Zhaozhao saw this, and did not dare to resist it, his body took a step back, and he was entangled with several armor soldiers.
And the woman saw Chu Zhaozhao's posture of pushing Chu Qingxiao away clearly.
From Fang Cai's hand, she had already seen that Chu Zhaozhao's cultivation was good, but Chu Qingxiao seemed to react to Mu Leng, in line with the principle that it is better to cut off one of his ten fingers than to hurt his ten fingers.
Taking advantage of Chu Zhaozhao's being restrained by the armor soldiers, the woman's figure turned and attacked Chu Qingxiao coldly with the spear in her left hand.
Chu Qingxiao probably didn't expect the woman to suddenly change her gaze, and when he saw the spear coming, he hurriedly lowered his head.
Even though the reaction was quick, the spear pierced his shirt at the shoulder, cutting a bloody streak on his shoulder.
"Girl, you ...... mistakenly" Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao still wanted to explain the misunderstanding.
But the woman seemed to kill the red eye, she didn't listen to what Chu Qingxiao said at all, as soon as the spear picked up, Chu Qingxiao's clothes were suddenly torn, and the package he was carrying on his back was also picked up at this time, falling to the ground, and several broken swords were scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, the woman's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the spear in her other hand was also like a snake coming out of a hole at this time, attacking Chu Qingxiao's face.
Chu Qingxiao has been forced into a corner at this moment after retreating several times, and in the face of the woman's fierce shot, it can be said that it is unavoidable.
The corners of the woman's mouth hooked up with a smile, and Chu Zhaozhao, who was also watching the situation here, turned even pale, and shouted anxiously: "Don't!" ”
But it was too late, and the woman's spear was about to pierce into Chu Qingxiao's face.
Chu Qingxiao's eyebrows finally showed a look of displeasure.
As soon as he lifted his toes, a short sword scattered on the ground fell into his hand.
At the same time, the gentle color in his eyes dissipated at this time, becoming sharp and murderous......
It's as if you've changed in an instant.
The smell of a demon fills the body.
In the face of the woman's spear, not only did he not dodge, but a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he took a step forward.
At the moment when the tip of the spear was about to pierce his eyebrows, his head tilted sharply, avoiding the spear by a fraction of a distance, and his figure continued to step forward, his hand slapping the sword on the shaft.
The spear trembled at that moment, and the tremendous force made the woman's mouth tingle, and a sharp pain came.
Under that pain, the woman's brows furrowed, and she lost her mind for a moment.
And it was at this moment that the short sword slapped on the body of the gun was delivered forward by Chu Qingxiao against the body of the gun, and the body of the sword rubbed against the body of the gun, bursting out of a spark.
The next moment, when the woman came back to her senses, there was a chill from her neck, and the broken sword in the young man's hand was already against her neck.
It all happened between the lightning and the flint, and everyone froze in place.
Meng Ziliang, who had just gotten up on the side, sighed with envy: "Master, ......"
And Chu Zhaozhao looked sluggish, and muttered in his mouth: "You can actually use a sword ......"
When she said this, she was suddenly stunned again, realizing her stupidity.
The gentle-looking young man in front of him was besieged by Candle Yin back then, but he followed the Xizhou Sword Armor to face those vicious Yin beasts for half a year, and he was not killed......
How could the guy who survived from such a sea of corpses and blood be a coward who didn't even dare to hold a sword......
