Chapter Thirty-Five: On a Whim, the Swordsman Sells Swords
Wind Inn.
Shi Potian has been pondering the moves of the Xuanmen Exercises recently, but in his vague memory, it is difficult to capture the specific movements of the moves, it seems to be a set of swordsmanship, but after all, it is difficult to see clearly, as if he has grasped something, and it seems that there is nothing. Just fiddling with the willow sword brought out of Shiliu Village in the house.
"Hey." Liu Wushuang suddenly shouted, startling Shi Potian.
Liu Wushuang smiled and said, "What are you thinking, so engrossed." ”
Shi Potian came back to his senses and said: "I'm thinking about the moves of the Xuanmen Exercises, it seems to be a set of swordsmanship, but it is always vague, the swordsmanship we practiced in Shiliu Village is too messy, they are all some one-and-a-half-move styles, and it feels like the power is much worse when I really fight." ”
Liu Wushuang: "Yes, the swordsmanship practiced at that time was too scattered, and it was indeed not very powerful, and since I practiced the star picking hand, I realized that the gap was too big." ”
Shi Potian: "Well, by the way, didn't a strange swordsman come to Tianshui County recently, I forgot about it, why don't we go and see it now, maybe we can learn something." ”
Liu Wushuang: "If you don't mention it, I forgot, I just heard that this swordsman actually defeated the master of the Qingcheng faction, and now the swordsman is very powerful, just take this opportunity to also see the majesty of the real masters of the rivers and lakes, since we came out, I have never really seen the swordsmanship masters in the rivers and lakes." ”
Shi Potian: "Okay, let's go now." ”
Shi Potian and Liu Wushuang simply cleaned up, then walked out of the Fenglai Inn and headed towards the bustling Yuntian Street.
The county seat of Tianshui County.
In Zhou Zhao's yard, Zhou Zhao was fiddling with the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard, when suddenly a steward hurriedly walked in. This person is Ah Fu who Zhou Zhao arranged to investigate the strange swordsman two days ago.
Ah Fu walked to Zhou Zhao's side and bowed his hand and said, "Zhou Gongzi." ”
Zhou Zhao: "Well, how did you go two days ago, where did the swordsman who suddenly appeared come from?" ”
Ah Fu: "Back to Gongzi's words, that strange swordsman is named Evil Shadow, he has never appeared in Tianshui County before, and this person is not from any famous teacher and faction, but he has made a good swordsmanship, and yesterday he defeated Cao Gang, the master of the young generation of the Qingcheng faction, with a sword, which is really surprising." ”
Zhou Zhao was surprised: "This person is so powerful, I have heard of Cao Gang of the Qingcheng faction, this person's swordsmanship is not bad, and he is also a little famous in today's rivers and lakes, and he was even defeated by this nameless swordsman." ”
Ah Fu: "I just heard about this and couldn't believe it for a while, but after some investigation, it was true, and the evil shadow actually defeated Cao Gang with one sword. ”
Zhou Zhao repeated: "One sword defeated Cao Gang." Zhou Zhao paced back and forth in the courtyard for two steps. Said to Ah Fu: "You go to contact this person as soon as possible, be sure to treat each other politely, see if it can be used by me, so that in the future, this son will go out and have a master to protect me, I want to be the nephew of the king of Tianshui County, there is not even a decent master around, and the son of this son is often suppressed by Na Luo Feng in this Tianshui County, and I am almost unbearable to death." ”
Ah Fu: "What Childe said is that I will arrange this matter immediately and ensure that Childe is satisfied." ”
Yuntian Street, the evil image is the same as usual, squinting his eyes, sitting down on the street, taking a sip of wine from time to time, since defeating that Cao Gang, there are few people who challenge it easily, which makes the evil shadow very idle for a while.
In a few days, the evil shadow has defeated dozens of swordsmen, in addition to Cao Gang, there are also some masters of the rivers and lakes, and after winning, they naturally received a lot of good swords, so the evil shadow had a whim, changed the style of the past, and actually wanted to sell these swords, anyway, it is inconvenient to carry them on the body, it is better to exchange some money according to the grade of this sword, it is not a bad thing.
So, the evil shadow found a pen and paper, divided the sword into three, six, nine, and so on, clearly marked the price, set up a stall on the spot, and actually started a business. For a while, many people came up to inquire, and after a while, several good swords were sold.
The evil shadow is proud in his heart, and he doesn't have to worry about wine money in the future, others don't know, in fact, his one hundred taels of silver was borrowed before he came to Tianshui County.
At this time, a voice suddenly remembered in my heart. Evil Shadow, didn't you venture to Tianshui County to break through the bottleneck of swordsmanship, and forgot your master's teachings before he died? How can I be distracted by mundane things. However, another voice immediately said-for-tat in his heart: "Lao Tzu's one hundred taels of silver was borrowed, and it doesn't cost money to drink every day, and it's very tiring to pose every day." Why not make a little money and comfort your stomach? "It's a pity that these outsiders don't know the inner thoughts of the evil shadow, and if they do, they will probably scoff at it.
On the other side, Shi Potian and Liu Wushuang finally came to Yuntian Street after asking all the way, wanting to see what the nameless swordsman who defeated the master of the Qingcheng faction looked like. There must be a generation of heroes.
But I walked around and didn't find it.
Liu Wushuang: "Brother Breaking the Sky, are we late, that hero has already left." ”
Shi Potian: "No, the person who asked just now said, it's around here, you see there's a group of people buying swords over there, why don't we go over and have a look." With that, the two of them walked towards the Shadow Shadow's booth.
The evil shadow introduced the material and workmanship of the sword on the stall, and bargained with the customers at the same time, and the indifferent and lazy swordsman demeanor of the previous two days was long gone.
Evil Shadow: "Heroes and heroes, these swords must have been seen by many people, they are all swords used by those masters of the rivers and lakes, not only the materials are of the best materials, but the workmanship is also very fine, you look at this sword, the sword is sharp, the sword body is sharp and angular, you definitely deserve it." If you want to make a move, you will not have this store after this village, fifty taels and one. ”
Shi Potian and Liu Wushuang squeezed into the crowd, and before they could speak, the evil shadow spoke first: "Brother, at first glance, you have an extraordinary temperament, why do you carry a wooden sword, this person who walks the rivers and lakes, you can't do it without a good sword, come, how about this sword, the silver is shining, it is particularly in line with your temperament at a glance, and the little brother is also a refreshing person, sixty taels of silver, it can't be less." ”
Shi Potian: "Little brother, I'm not buying a sword, I'm here to find someone, do you know that there is a master who claims to be the first sword in the world to stay here, I heard that I defeated a master of the Qingcheng faction, I just want to see it." ”
As soon as the evil shadow heard this, it turned out that this reputation spread so quickly, his face was not red, and his heart did not beat and said: "It's all because everyone is overrated, overrated, the number one swordsman in the world you said is me." ”
As he spoke, the Evil Shadow went to find the plaque of the world's first sword, which was placed under the sword as a backing plate. Just as he was about to pull out, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came.
From afar, I heard a shout: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, who is the number one sword in the world here." ”
