Pingkangfang Zhuxi Lane.

The small courtyard of the Jiang family.

In the small courtyard, the sound of popping is loud.

A young man in a concise short fight was fighting hand-to-hand with a man in black with a strong body.

The man in black is wide and strong, he is extremely powerful, and a pair of fists are like two pairs of sledgehammers.

Although the boy's fist strength is not small, the gap between him and the strong man is not small.

Every time the boy's fist collided with him, he felt like he had hit an iron plate.

The other party didn't have anything to do, but his fist hurt and his arms were numb.

The young man kicked away the strong man's body and stepped back.

Seeing this, the strong man pressed up, his only weakness was that his speed was not too fast.

Seeing that the strong man pressed forward decisively, the young man sneered in his heart, and blasted out with a kick that he had prepared a long time ago.

The punch was menacing and extremely fast.

Bang!

The strong man blocked the punch with his arm, and the young man wanted to make up for it when he saw the situation.

The strong man suddenly said: "If you don't fight, I can't help but release the qi machine if I continue to fight, and it will be difficult to hurt you." ”

He is none other than Ye Thirteen.

Jiang Mian had no choice but to withdraw his hand when he heard this, and let out a regretful sigh, Ye Shisan, a martial artist from the four realms, had an excellent effect as his sparring partner.

He has rough skin and thick meat, is very durable, has excellent offense and defense, and has a good grasp of strength.

When he first entered the martial arts, where did he go to find such a good sparring partner.

"Miss said that your sword skills are good, come to practice?"

Ye Shisan threw over a horizontal knife, his heart was actually very depressed, it had only been a few days, Jiang Mian's physique and fist strength had simply doubled.

If you don't use the gas machine, you can't do anything about him for a while.

At this moment, even Ye Shisan had to sigh: "This kid is really a genius who walks the martial arts." ”

Jiang Mian took the long horizontal knife, and the style of the knife was a bit like the Tang knife he had seen in the museum in his previous life.

The narrow blade is about two feet, with a small blade and a long handle.

A standard straight edge with a delicate ground texture.

Jiang Mian was very familiar with the handle of the knife, and after he knew how to cut jade, he could disassemble and master this ordinary weapon in an instant.

Although the old thing didn't look very good, seven days of practice had familiarized him with the most basic knife techniques, and finally directly penetrated his body.

It's a great gift.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath and spit it out when he looked up to the sky.

He has not learned the knife technique, but he has a heaven-level pig killing technique, which can be defined by the system as a heaven-level pig slaughtering technique, so naturally he will not be too weak.

Ye Shisan also took a horizontal knife, he put on a posture, squinted his eyes, and his gaze was always on Jiang Mian's knife-holding hand.

Unlike hand-to-hand combat, knife fighting focuses more on the timing of the shot.

He suppressed the realm and was at the same starting point as Jiang Mian, if he really lost, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Ye 13 saw Jiang Mian take out the knife, it was still in the meat stall in the West Market, and the weak young man understood the life of Huang San with a knife.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

That knife was definitely shocking in Jiang Mian's realm.

Neither of them made the first move, they were both observing each other's bodies in order to see each other's shots, even the flaws that leaked inadvertently.

It's important to get a head start, but being the last to come is a much more sophisticated technique.

The tree in the yard was pierced by Jiang Mian's punch, and the young man destroyed the trunk, and there was no nutrient delivery, and the withered yellow leaves fell with the wind.

The leaf floated above the two of them and slowly fell.

The two of them moved at the same time, and the leaves were cut by two snow-white knife lights from different directions.

When the material is the same, the forging process is the same, and even the user realm is the same.

There was a soft ding.

The two knives are in a grid, and the blades collide.

A tiny spark exploded in the air and quickly vanished.

With a clang, half of the blade swirled in the air, and soon landed on the stone floor in the courtyard.

A knife cuts the other in two.

Looking from the side, Jiang Mian pressed the sharp blade against Ye Thirteen's throat.

With just one knife, the winner has been decided.

Ye Thirteen's beads of sweat dripped on the blade surface, splashing small splashes. He said tremblingly: "You don't talk about martial arts."

Jiang Mian showed a smile: "You are too young. ”

Ye Shisan was furious, losing to Jiang Mian, a young man who had just entered the martial arts, undoubtedly made him very faceless.

"Why do you have energy on your knife?" He suppressed his anger and his face was extremely dark.

Jiang Mian is just a martial artist in the middle of the muscle-prone realm, how can he have strength.

"I practiced it myself." Jiang Mian looked serious and said with certainty.

"You....practiced it yourself."

Ye Thirteen was stunned, martial arts can be cultivated, but that is something that can only be done in the Three Realms Birth Marrow Realm.

Jiang Mian is easy to muscle.

"Could it be that this kid is even more genius than I thought?"

Ye Shisan's heart sighed, Jiang Mian could rely on Zhu Guoden to reach the middle realm, but it was impossible to rely on external objects to train his strength,

Such a simple question, I would be stupid enough to ask him.

He looked at Jiang Mian with mixed tastes in his heart.

He can't walk yet, but he's learned to run, and he's still running.

The difference between people is too big, Ye Thirteen supports his forehead.

It was still a familiar bath bucket, Jiang Mian was lying in the medicinal bath, and Ye Shisan was standing aside.

Compared with last time, Jiang Mian's body not only did not feel pain this time, but there was a feeling of comfort all over his body.

"Xiao Ye, have I reached the Yijin Middle Realm now?"

The corners of Ye Shisan's mouth twitched, and he resisted the desire to beat Jiang Mian, and replied angrily: "It's here, and it's stronger than all the Yi Muscle Realms I've ever seen, your kid's physique is already comparable to the Bone Forging Realm." ”

"Forging Bone Realm." Jiang Mian said to himself, he was still very satisfied with this result. "Sure enough, God doesn't live up to me, this is the result of my God's reward for hard work."

Ye Thirteen shook his head, and it seemed that he also agreed, although Jiang Mian's talent was good, it did not reach the point of being very rebellious.

For example, compared with his own young lady, he can't even count as a green onion, but when the young lady is in this realm, whether he can win against this kid, Ye Shisan's heart is also uncertain.

"Xiao Ye, why did I hear that there have been no Nine Realms great things in this world for more than a thousand years?" Jiang Mian asked seemingly casually.

He has already seen many big people, the martial artists of the Phaseless Realm, the monks of the Bodhisattva Realm, the sword cultivators of the Seven Realms of the Sword Mountain, and the gods of the Seven Realms of Daomen.

It stands to reason that there are seven realms, or even eight realms, so it shouldn't be too difficult to advance to nine realms.

No matter how difficult it is, it may not be more than a thousand years without one.

Ye Thirteen didn't waste any effort on the title, he frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The cultivators of the Ninth Realm, even in the history of the entire continent, there are not many records. ”

"The most recent record was during the time of the war between the nations."

He took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said, "A thousand years ago, there was no unified country on the continent, and at that time, all countries were guarded by the Great Cultivators of the Nine Realms, until the appearance of a person broke this deadlock. ”

"Confucian saint?" Jiang Mian guessed.

"Yes." Ye 13 nodded, "The life of the Confucian saint is really legendary, he first traveled to study in various countries, wrote books and lectures, and preached his way of governing the world. ”

"After traveling to various countries, few kings adopted it, and the disheartened Confucian sage returned to his hometown, built a school, and no longer traveled to teach in his hometown."

Ye Shisan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a fanatical admiration appeared on his face, "A religion is thirty years, and thirty years later, the Confucian saint was born again, and his old man only said one sentence, and the whole world was shocked." ”

"What?" Jiang Mian was listening to it, and Ye 13 suddenly intercepted the words, which was more excessive than those broken dogs in Jiang Mian's previous life.

"Brother Ye, say it." Jiang Mian was a little impatient.

Only then did Ye Shisan smile and speak again.

He suddenly straightened up, his face solemn, like the most devout of a believer reciting the most sacred doctrines.

"The sage once said: I am determined to learn five times out of ten, stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, and know the destiny of heaven at fifty."

Then, the old scholar who was looked down upon by all countries once reached the sky. That year, his old man happened to be the year of destiny. ”

"Then you'll know."

"The Confucian saint pushed the countries with his strength, and several nine realms were suppressed, and the countries no longer fought each other, feared each other, and finally ushered in a short peace under the majesty of the Confucian saint."

Ye 13 finished telling this history in one go.

Hearing Jiang Mian's blood surging, it is no wonder that the last realm of Confucianism and Taoism is called Pingtianxia, the sage is to subdue the people of the world with his own strength, what a good person to convince people with reason.

"Then how was the Great Zhou established today, and where did the Confucian Sage go?"

Jiang Mian was a little puzzled, the Confucian saint was already invincible in the world, who else could intervene in the world?

Ye Shisan shook his head. said he didn't know: "Confucianism has supervised the world for less than a hundred years, and the descendants of Confucianism and Taoism disappeared, and then the first emperor rose from the remote Xizhou and completed the great cause of unification." ”

The two were silent, this history is too heavy, and the implications may be great.

Jiang Mian pondered the word "knowing the destiny of heaven" carefully, and he raised his head to look at the sky.

"Heavenly Dao, what is it?"

"Why can't Heavenly Dao tolerate him killing the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, but he can acquiesce to the Confucian Saint to kill the cultivators of the Nine Realms in the world."

"Why is it that in the eight hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no new nine realms have been born in the major systems."

Everything seems to have something to do with that mysterious Heavenly Dao.

Jiang Mian gathered his thoughts, what he needed to solve most at the moment was the problem of bad karma in Buddhism.

"What about the Nine Realms of the Ye Family, I read in the book that the ancestor of your Liuyun Ye Family is the Sword Immortal of the Ninth Realm."

Jiang Mian finally asked the most core question, in order not to arouse Ye Shisan's suspicion, he had been arguing with the other party for a long time.

Hearing this, Ye Shisan paused and said, "The Old Ancestor is indeed a Sword Immortal of the Ninth Realm. ”

"So the Ye family has its own sword cultivation system, so why is Brother Ye a martial arts system?" Jiang Mian asked.

"You wait for me to finish." Ye Thirteen waved his hand.

"The old ancestor is indeed a sword immortal of the ninth realm, but the Ye family is not as self-contained as other sword sects, and the Ye family's sword has only one since ancient times."

"A handful?" Jiang Mian seemed to understand a little, "Is there only one person in each generation of the Ye family who can cultivate swords?" ”

Ye 13 agreed: "That's right. He thought about it, a little hesitant.

"Forget it, you'll know sooner or later." He made up his mind, "The Ye family will open the ancestral land every ten years, and when the time comes, the ancestor's sword "Divine Path" will choose a child of the Ye family as the sword bearer. ”

"Ten years, that means that there may not be anyone who can succeed in the sword?"

Jiang Mian's guess was confirmed, and Ye Thirteen shook his head.

"It's been three hundred years since Shentu chose a sword bearer." Ye Shisan's face was a little sad: "Since the soul of the previous generation of sword bearers returned to the Ye family's sword tomb, no one has been able to succeed. ”

"As a result, the status of the Ye family has plummeted, although it is still ranked among the four surnames in the north, its strength is not as good as before, and the resources allocated by the imperial court to the Ye family are becoming less and less."

"Therefore." Ye Shisan's eyes suddenly became resolute: "Miss must succeed in inheriting the sword this time, she is carrying the past glory and future hope of the entire Ye family." ”

"Innate Dao Species, the Sword of Zhongxing."

Jiang Mian suddenly felt a little ridiculous, the family that had been inherited for thousands of years had to rely on a girl to revive.

"Your presence is also very important, I didn't expect that Miss would choose an outsider to help her carry the sword." Ye Shisan looked at Jiang Mian, and his words were full of jealousy that could not be hidden.

"How can I help her carry the sword?"

This time it was Jiang Mian's turn to be confused, but Ye Shisan did not answer again.

The liquid in the tub gradually cooled down, and there was little effect left.

After the medicinal bath, Jiang Mian got dressed.

When Ye Shisan just left, he told him an important news, because Hanguang Pavilion was damaged by the four Seven Realms, Ye Qingyu had to preside over the affairs of Hanguang Pavilion during this time, and his departure was delayed by five days.

Jiang Mian didn't have any opinion on this, but Ye Shisan frowned when he spoke, not knowing what he was worried about.

Jiang Mian didn't expect Ye Qingyu to ask him to help Cheng Jian, but Ye Shisan didn't say a word about the details of Cheng Jian.

At this time, Jiang Mian's heart had to beat the drum, the Nine Realms Sword Immortal was a real immortal, and a sword for a thousand miles was not for fun.

His personal sword selection sword bearer must be above the top, looking at the extent that Ye Shisan said, this sword is afraid that it is not easy to hold, I can only hope that Ye Qingyu will give him some strength.

Jiang Mian thought about it carefully.

This is not entirely a bad thing for him, since he is asked to help inherit the sword, there will definitely be an opportunity to contact the divine path, and then there will be a way to eliminate the bad karma on his body.

No matter how bad it is, wait for that girl to succeed in inheriting the sword and then borrow the sword, if I do her such a big favor, she should agree.

......

Outside in the street market.

The swordsman in sackcloth and hat walked on the bluestone paved street, and he did not carry a sword.

When people saw him, they all thought of one word - swordsman.

He was too much like a swordsman, like nothing but a sword in his hand.

The straight figure is like a sword, and under the sleeves are the hands that have a thick layer of calluses due to sword practice, and the temperament is as solemn as a sword.

I think that under the hat, there should also be a pair of sword eyes, as well as a sky-high sword eyebrow.

At the entrance of the alley, there is a group of half-sized children playing the game of sword fairy subjugation.

It is the youkai who can only flee in the wilderness, and the child with a wooden stick is full of spirit and plays the role of a sword fairy.

"Youkai, where to escape!"

With a childish voice.

The "monster" evaded the pursuit in front, and the "sword fairy" chased after it in the back.

The "youkai" suddenly bumped into the person.

Seeing this, the woman who was gossiping on the side hurriedly trotted over, "Don't run around, don't listen, dead child." I've hit someone. ”

The woman scolded the child and apologized to the swordsman, "I'm sorry, this hero, the child is not sensible and pretending to play." ”

"It doesn't matter."

The swordsman's tone was surprisingly warm: "May I ask if this is Zhuxi Lane?" ”

The woman nodded hurriedly.

The swordsman stepped into the alley.

The sunlight stretched his shadow for a long time.

The "monster" looked at the shadow of the swordsman, and suddenly shouted crisply: "Sword!" ”

Bang! gave him a pop.
