Chapter 17: Descending the Mountain
Wanjian Xuegong South Campus on the sword preliminaries, the tenth game.
Xia Yan, who is at the peak of the double, is against Jiang Xiaoai at the beginning of the quadruple.
As soon as the results were announced, there was an uproar in the audience:
"How so?"
"I saw it clearly just now, it's obviously Jiang Xiaoai's sword fast!"
"That's right!"
"If the referee hadn't stopped it, Jiang Xiaoai's sword would have beheaded Xia Yan a long time ago!"
"Xia Yan's sword is still far away from Jiang Xiaoai's head!"
"Isn't this nonsense!"
The sword discussion field, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, once it is discussed like this, it is the whole venue buzzing, and no one can hear anyone.
There was a commotion in the audience, and Jiang Xiaoai on the stage was also stunned, looking at the referee blankly.
The referee ignored her, closed his eyes and waited quietly for a while.
When the audience finally quieted down, the referee said loudly: "I just played with Xia Yan, his internal strength is extremely strong, and after the shot, it does not disperse, within four feet, it is enough to penetrate the protective body intent."
The sword in his hand is three feet three feet long, that is, his actual attack distance is seven inches longer than the long sword.
If I hadn't stopped them just now, they would have lost both, and they would both have died.
And Xia Yan's internal strength pierced Jiang Xiaoai's head, which was faster than Jiang Xiaoai's waist slashing Xia Yan.
So according to the rules, Xia Yansheng wins. ”
The referee said this, and the audience became lively again:
"Wow, the internal strength of the double peak can actually be released?"
"How?"
"Could it be that this is the characteristic of his mutated sword species?"
"That's too bad, isn't it?"
"I think this kind of characteristic is average, Jiang Xiaoai is suffering from being defenseless."
"Hmph, it's just treacherous to use a three-foot-three-long sword to cover four-foot internal strength."
There was a commotion in the audience, and the competition on the stage was all over.
The referee began to clear the field and prepare for the next game.
Xia Yan and Jiang Xiaoai walked off the stage together.
The little girl seemed to have been hit in the heart, and when she walked off the stage with a big sword, she was a little absent-minded and almost stepped on the air.
Xia Yan followed behind her, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her.
Jiang Xiaoai turned her head and asked, "Senior, is your internal strength mutated?" ”
"Isn't it?" Xia Yan shook his head and walked past her and walked down the sword fighting platform, "Learned." ”
"Where did you learn it?" Jiang Xiaoai followed up and asked.
"The first floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is close to the north wall, the gold sword kind bookshelf, and there is a relatively thin sword book in the lower left, called." Xia Yan said.
"Gold sword species? But I'm a wood-based sword. Jiang Xiaoai scratched her head.
"It's okay, this swordsmanship can be practiced no matter what kind of sword you have." Xia Yan said, "This sword book should be very popular in the future, you should start early, there will be unexpected gains." ”
"Oh, thank you, senior."
……
There are thirty battles to be held today, and Xia Yan's battle this time, although there has been a lot of movement before and after, it is just an episode after all.
Soon, order was restored on and off the stage, and the game continued.
Xia Yan returned to the viewing platform and was warmly welcomed by the group of young people in Wushan Town.
He Yongnian stepped forward and shook Xia Yan's hand, looking very excited:
"Congratulations to Senior Xia Yan for his victory!
Senior, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to make today's show so successful.
From today on, I can't control others, the No. 30 person of this orchestra in Wushan Town, only Senior Xia Yan is the first to look forward! ”
Xia Yan was embarrassed, and quickly withdrew his hand: "You see that I don't understand music either." ”
"It's okay, you don't know how to fight swords." He Yongnian said with a smile.
Around He Yongnian, other musicians also echoed:
"Senior Xia Yan broke through the first round of the preliminaries, which is the first time in our Wushan Town."
"It's our honor to be friends with Senior Xia Yan!"
"That performance just now was so cool, Senior Xia Yan, we will come to cheer you on in the second round."
"Yes, yes, we need to make another tune."
Xia Yan was surrounded by people, and everyone was smiling.
But there is no Chen Wenbing.
Xia Yan stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and found that Chen Gongzi was sitting in his seat in a daze.
Gu Zhantang sat next to Chen Wenbing, beckoned to Xia Yan, and then nodded at Chen Wenbing.
Xia Yan clasped his fists at the people around him, lined up in the crowd and sat back in his original seat, one on the left and one on the right, Chen Gongzi and Gu Maniac.
"Wen Bing, what's wrong?" Xia Yan asked.
"Oh!" Chen Wenbing woke up like a dream and said, "Xia Yan, you won?" ”
"Win."
"Congratulations!" Chen Wenbing nodded heavily, "Let's brothers, it's the same if you win and I win." ”
"But I see you like this." Xia Yan shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be the same." ”
"Hey." Chen Wenbing sighed and touched his face again, "To say that there is no sense of loss in my heart, it is a lie."
I was thinking, how can I win a round.
As a result, the old man bought 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and stabbed a sword on the sword fighting table.
The sword was crooked.
At present, this body cultivation can't be kept in the end.
I was in front of the school palace for nine years, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty. ”
"Okay, you Chen Wenbing can be regarded as having tasted the taste of the triple peak." Madman Gu said on the side, "Look at me again, I've been climbing the mountain of the double peak for five years, and only now do I vaguely see a hint of a breakthrough."
Triple peak, I guess I have no hope in this life.
In terms of cultivation talent, you Chen Wenbing is a waste, and I, Gu Zhantang, am also a waste.
And before his Xia Yan mutated in the sword species, he was a waste in the waste.
But what about waste, waste can live a wonderful life.
His Xia Yan sword species mutated, isn't this just a salted fish turning over?
And I, Gu Zhantang, as long as the long sword is in my hand, under the innate realm, who dares to approach me three feet in front of me? ”
Chen Wenbing blinked and pointed at Xia Yan: "He." ”
"He doesn't count." Gu Zhantang shook the messy hair in front of his forehead, "Sooner or later, he will be a person from the Innate Realm." ”
……
The first round of the preliminary round of the school palace is underway, and it is the first day of the three-day competition.
The sword field was lively and lively, but the Hidden Sword Pavilion hundreds of miles away was deserted.
It wasn't until the evening that a few students came in cranes, basically to return the sword score.
Soon, the moon was on the willows, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion was about to close.
Zhang Shuyang, the sword cultivator of the Guardian Pavilion, stood up from his seat at the door as usual, intending to inspect upstairs and downstairs.
The entire Tibetan Sword Pavilion was almost empty, and when Zhang Shuyang walked to the reading area on the first floor, he found that there was still a student there.
It was a petite little girl, holding a sword book, standing at the window, reading through the moonlight outside.
The Hidden Sword Pavilion had lost a fire before, and since then, candles are not allowed in the reading area, but the sword book can be borrowed anyway, and there is no one in the reading area at night.
And this little girl who is flipping through the sword book, Zhang Shuyang knows.
There are not many people in the entire South Campus who can go up to the third floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and this Jiang Xiaoai is one of them.
It was strange that she was actually flipping through the sword book in the reading area on the first floor.
But when Zhang Shuyang saw the sword book in her hand clearly, it was normal to think to herself.
The sword book in the girl's hand is the book "Diamond Sword".
This "Diamond Sword" is a lot thicker than before, and Xia Yan's message is added.
Zhang Shuyang said: "Jiang Xiaoai, this place is going to close, you can borrow this sword book and read it." ”
Jiang Xiaoai was immersed in the sword book, as if awakened by Zhang Shuyang's words, and then asked, "Old Zhang, is this sword book missing a few pages?" ”
Zhang Shuyang's face sank: "What do you mean?" Under the supervision of my sword cultivator who guards the pavilion day and night, how many pages can the sword book be missing? ”
"No, no, no." Jiang Xiaoai hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn't mean that, I just felt ............."
"I don't care what you think." Zhang Shuyang shook his head, "I just know that this place is going to close." ”
"Oh, then I borrowed this sword book." Jiang Xiaoai said.
"Take it." Zhang Shuyang waved his hand, "I still have to go upstairs to inspect, and you put the identity wooden card on my table yourself." ”
"Yes." Jiang Xiaoai bowed and saluted, and was about to go out, but heard someone on the stairs next to him say:
"She's right, there's a few pages missing from the sword book."
As soon as the words fell, a young girl held on to the handrail of the stairs and walked down slowly.
When she finally reached the ground on the first floor, she seemed to be very tired, gasped slightly, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
The light in the room was very dim, and Jiang Xiaoai couldn't see who this girl was.
The South Campus is not small, it is not big, the triple repair is above, there are not many people who can go to the second floor of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, Jiang Xiaoai thinks that he basically knows everything.
But she hadn't heard this voice, and the figure looked unfamiliar.
So she guessed who this person was.
Minami Edgeworth.
Legend has it that this senior sister entered the palace for six years, and she never listened to the lessons of the palace, but practiced alone.
Everyone only heard his name, but did not see him.
After she broke into the innate realm two years ago, she lived on the fifth floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion due to her inconvenient legs.
Tonight, she actually went downstairs?
And she obviously agreed with what she just said, but in front of Zhang Shuyang, Jiang Xiaoai didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Jiang Xiaoai had doubts in her heart and looked at the old sword cultivator who was guarding the pavilion.
Zhang Shuyang looked shocked: "Girl, your legs are ......"
"As soon as the branch vein is opened, the main vein is blocked and there is a bypass to go, and it will naturally be slowly unblocked." The girl said, "It's just that I haven't walked for several years, and my legs are a little weak." ”
Zhang Shuyang was even more shocked: "You mean, that meridian diagram...... Feasible? ”
"Feasible." The girl nodded, "The branch veins do exist, and they can indeed be cultivated." ”
"This ...... This ......" Zhang Shuyang didn't know what to say, and he opened his mouth in place, only feeling that his brain was buzzing.
"From now on, the cultivation within the entire acquired fivefold realm will be turned upside down." The girl said, "Elder Zhang, I was crippled before, so I dare to try this kind of unverified family statement."
At the same time, I can't let you or other students cultivate the branch veins, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong and hurts you.
Now I have no problem trying it, and he wrote 'Intercepting Yuan Chongmai' on the message of the sword spectrum.
The sword book of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is not a private thing, and everyone can borrow it from students above the second level.
So I guess he shouldn't mind sharing this meridian diagram. ”
Speaking of this, the girl looked at Jiang Xiaoai by the window: "This senior girl." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoai responded.
The girl handed over the meridian diagram in her hand: "These are the missing pages in the sword book, after you go back, study it well in combination with this sword book." ”
"Oh!" Jiang Xiaoai hurriedly walked over and took the meridian diagram with both hands, "Thank you, senior sister." ”
"Elder Zhang." The girl looked at Zhang Shuyang again, "My legs are fine now, and I don't have to live in the Hidden Sword Pavilion." ”
"Then you're going to move back to the dormitory?" Zhang Shuyang asked.
The girl shook her head, looked at Jiang Xiaoai and said:
"Senior sister, my legs are a little weak, can you help me go to the town under the mountain for a walk?"
