Chapter Twenty-Four: It's You
Deep in the Wushan Mountains, ask the valley, at dusk.
In this year's Wushan Sword Fair, it is said that there were 30 students who received invitations, and 28 actually attended.
These people are all acquired five-fold sword cultivators, and half of them have already participated in the Wushan Sword Club in previous years, and they are not newcomers.
Among them, there are two of the highest-ranking ones.
One is the chief of the sword three years ago, Nan Yujian Tu Su.
The other is the chief of the sword two years ago, Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the West King.
Only the previous chiefs of the sword debate had bluestone seats in the venue, and everyone else could only stand.
This is somewhat inconvenient for Xia Yan.
Because when I dozed off, it was too obvious, and my whole body swayed.
These juniors and sisters present are also considered to be dragons and phoenixes among people in the major campuses of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, their realm is not low, and their talents are very good.
If he competed on the sword fighting platform, Xia Yan felt that he was enough to beat them now.
But their insights on cultivation, anyway, after listening to them a few times, Xia Yan felt that he had gained nothing this time.
I knew that it was a discussion of this level, so it was better to practice swords at home with Gu Maniac.
It's not that they are wrong, but these insights are not new to Xia Yan.
Within the fivefold realm of the day after tomorrow, these things were studied thoroughly by Xia Yan in the flood wilderness back then.
What's worse is that the 28 invitees present are going to speak one by one.
Twenty-eight speeches, after the lectures, there is also a swordsmanship demonstration, and an average of about half an hour.
Xia Yan looked at the sun in the sky and thought that this day was difficult enough.
Xia Yan is fine, at least standing and listening.
Gu Zhantang was not used to these people, collected some pebbles, smoothed the ground around him, and directly lay there to sleep.
The people around looked sideways about this, but it was hard to say anything.
finally survived until the sun set, and only Tu Su, Jiang Yuan, Xia Yan, and Gu Zhantang were left before they spoke.
Of course, Xia Yan and Gu Zhantang were not invited, in fact, they were not qualified to speak.
At the end of the day, Xia Yan felt bored, but the students present seemed to be very happy.
According to tradition, the Wushan Sword Club will be carried out until late at night, which is considered an intermission.
The first half was a discourse by the other invited students, and the second half was a showdown between the leaders of the Sword Club in previous years.
At this time, on both sides of the stream, everyone sat on the ground, took out the dried food and dried meat they carried with them, and used the stream water to quench their thirst.
While eating and drinking, these teenagers were also congratulating each other.
The presentations were very successful, the insights were very original, and they all said that they benefited a lot.
On both sides of the stream, a group of students were polite.
The atmosphere on the field is quite enjoyable if you ignore the snoring of someone sleeping.
"Senior Xia." Nan Yujian, who was sitting on the bluestone, leaned slightly sideways and asked softly, "I think you seem to be quite bored today." ”
Xia Yan was a little embarrassed and touched his face: "You can see it?" ”
Then he pointed to Gu Zhantang, who was sleeping on the ground: "I'm sorry, Old Gu is more upright." ”
After speaking, Xia Yan kicked Gu Zhantang: "Hey, it's almost, wake up." ”
Gu Zhantang rubbed his eyes and sat up: "It's over?" ”
"Not yet."
"Why did you wake me up before it was over?" Gu Zhantang looked dissatisfied.
"No, why are you here today?" Xia Yan asked, "Do you want to sleep and go home and sleep uncomfortably?" ”
"Didn't you ask me to come?" Gu Zhantang said, "Going to the meeting together with lonely men and widows will cause gossip ......"
Speaking of this, Madman Gu finally woke up completely, closed his mouth, and looked at Xia Yan and Tu Su.
Xia Yan sighed and continued to look up at the sun that was about to go down.
The corners of Tu Su's mouth twitched, as if he was holding back a smile, and then said softly: "Senior Xia, thank you for thinking about my reputation." ”
Xia Yan had no choice but to apologize: "My generation of cultivators, what I pursue is the road to heaven, and the mundane affairs of men and women should not be hung in my heart, I am shallow, and I hope that the junior sister will not mind." ”
Tu Su shook his head: "What the senior said is not right. ”
"Please advise."
"Cultivators, not only cultivate the road to heaven, but also cultivate freely. If everything doesn't go your way, how can your cultivation go smoothly? Tu Su said in a low voice, "Especially for a mutant sword species like you and me, the risk of cultivation is already greater than that of others, if you are uneven, it will affect your cultivation even more." ”
"That's a good point." Xia Yan nodded, "I didn't understand." ”
"It seems that Senior Zhang is right." Tu Su smiled slightly, "Senior Xia's comprehension is really poor. ”
"Hey, that's an old problem." Xia Yan shook his head, "Stupid." ”
"Hey, you're a good match." Gu Zhantang shook his head on the side, "Don't talk about people." ”
After eating and drinking, the people present stood back in their places.
Among them, a young man in a green shirt with a long sword on his back straightened his robe, stepped forward, saluted each of the two girls on the bluestone, and said loudly:
"At Shi Liang on the Lower East Campus, I have met two chiefs."
Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the West King on the bluestone opposite Xia Yan, had just woken up at this time.
No one objected to Gu Maniac sleeping on the spot, mainly because there was also a sleeping person opposite.
In previous years, the chief of the Sword Society slept on the spot, and others didn't dare to say anything, so Gu Maniac also slept, and it was difficult for others to say anything.
Xia Yan felt that the little girl of the West Queen was quite open.
Wearing a red skirt falling from the sky, after finishing lying on the bluestone, if no one next to him slept on his back, soaking half of the futon with saliva.
At the end of the day, the snoring on both sides of the creek was like a competition, one after another.
At this point, the girl in red woke up, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Oh, you're done."
In the future, if I can't sleep, I will ask you to go to the Western Regions Royal Mansion and tell me about my cultivation.
It's hypnotic. ”
The young man in the green shirt had a good bearing, and he smiled slightly: "If it can really be like this, it is an honor for us." ”
There was a burst of laughter from those present.
I only heard Shi Liang, a young man in a green shirt, say again: "Northern Kunlun, Southern Imperial Sword, West Wangnu, and East Taixu, these four are extremely talented.
Ever since he entered the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, he has always stood out from the crowd, and his cultivation progress has left us far behind.
In previous years, you were also recognized by the masters and became the chief.
Today, we will express our opinions, but these shallow spiritual insights must not be able to enter the eyes of the two chiefs.
It's just that I, Shi Liang, have also studied for six years, and thanks to the careful teaching of the teachers of the East Campus, I am fortunate to receive the help of the students of the East Taixu Zhou.
Today, with the five-fold pinnacle realm, please ask the West Princesses and Nan Yujian to give a sword each. ”
After Shi Liang's words were finished, the students behind him discussed:
"The sword discussion in the palace is ongoing, what does Shi Liang want to do?"
"That's right, he has a five-fold peak realm, and he has a great chance of the East Campus preliminaries."
"At this time, to pick up the two innate realm swords, is it too impulsive, what should I do if I get injured?"
"Change me, I don't dare."
"This Senior Shi is awe-inspiring!"
"Hmph, this person's mind may not be simple, you must know that there are high-ranking people nearby."
"Oh, yes."
On the rocky beach, the students were talking in a whisper, and Xia Yan's side was also uneasy.
Gu Madman stabbed Xia Yan and asked, "This guy doesn't speak human words, what do you mean?" ”
"In short, he wants to fight with Tu Su and Jiang Yuan." Xia Yan replied.
"Fighting swords, look for me!" Gu Maniac said.
"You are calm, the five-fold peak of the people." Xia Yan persuaded.
"It just so happens that I haven't won the five-fold peak yet." Madman Gu pursed his lips, "That group of wastes in Wushan Town is too vegetable. ”
While the two were talking, the West Princesses on the opposite bluestone stood up.
The girl in red glanced at Shi Liang and said in a cold voice, "Take me and Tu Su a sword?" Even if you are here, you don't dare to talk like this. ”
Shi Liang took a few steps back, slowly pulled out the long sword behind his back with his backhand, and said word by word:
"Please teach the two chiefs!"
As soon as the words fell, Shi Liang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Between his eyebrows, a cyan sword appeared silently, hovering silently.
The tip of the sword pressed against his forehead, and the cold touch came, and Shi Liang's temples broke out in a cold sweat.
The students present gasped.
The cyan long sword disappeared in a blink of an eye, and when it reappeared, it fell into Tu Su's hand.
Tu Su held the sword in his hand and said, "My sword has come out, Senior Shi, please go back." ”
Shi Liang's face turned pale, and he muttered in his mouth: "Nan Yujian really lives up to its reputation......
Tu Su nodded slightly: "Senior is polite." ”
Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the West Prince, plucked her ears with her little finger and asked, "Then I can't come out with a sword?" ”
A trace of fear flashed in Shi Liang's eyes, he stepped back again and again, and muttered in his mouth: "No need, no need." ”
Then the young man in the green shirt mixed garlic under his feet, sat down on the rocky beach, and the long sword in his hand fell to the side.
The other students present were silent.
Gu Zhantang snorted and said to Xia Yan: "Sword Dao genius, that's it?" ”
"Genius, I usually get less hit." Xia Yan touched his face, "It's not like me, I'm used to being beaten." ”
Senior Xia laughed. Tu Su on the side said, "Senior Xia, can we start the second half?" ”
Xia Yan thought to himself that you are really polite, and nodded.
Tu Su also nodded: "Then please prepare Senior Xia." ”
"Prepare what?" Xia Yan frowned.
Tu Su blinked: "After Jiang Yuan spoke, it was the highlight of this year's sword meeting, Senior Xia Yan's personal speech. ”
"Just say it yourself." Xia Yan shook his head, "You have already mastered the Dao of the Interception Yuan Chong Vein." ”
"The little girl privately thinks that the chief of this year's sword club is none other than Senior Xia." Tu Su smiled, "I'm just an invitation to the Sword Society, so I'm fortunate to be stained." ”
