Chapter 357: The heart is like fine hair
"Hmph!" the young swordsman snorted heavily, glared at Lu Ming, threw out a small token, and then turned away fiercely.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed the token and took a look, this brand is not big, the size of a thumb, but the material is made of pure iron, with a level of inscription on it, representing permission, and at the back, it is engraved with fifty, showing the tricks of the trick.
That young man obviously has a more advanced token on his body, it seems that this authority is not very good, and it is a difficult battle to survive fifty moves.
Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, glanced at the back of the young swordsman, and then said lightly: "The talent is really average, the mood is even worse, the future, what future does such a swordsman have?"
It's so arrogant! Actually old-fashioned comments on the swordsman of the Sword Hall! The black-faced gatekeeper looked Lu Ming up and down, there has never been a swordsman to the headquarters of the Sword Hall, and he dares to make a conclusion to the elite of the Sword Hall so loudly, seeing that you are not even twenty years old, you must have never suffered a loss, otherwise you would have been beaten flat by someone like this.
But don't worry, you still have to get permission later, and I'll give you a good look later! The black-faced man secretly glanced at his companion, and their eyes flashed with tacit understanding.
"I'm still in a hurry, so let's go to the next authority now. Lu Ming's faint words made the white-faced gatekeeper turn blue, no one had ever dared to be so swaggering in the Sword Hall, let him see today, what is the Sword Hall! What is my territory!
"Okay, follow me. ”
The white-faced gatekeeper had a smile on his face and a hint of congratulations. However, after turning around, his face instantly became gloomy, and his heart had already begun to calculate, but he said in a calm tone: "The next assessment is called Ming Jian." ”
"Ming Jian?" Lu Ming was stunned, not knowing what this word meant. Although the white-faced man had his back to him, his expression did not escape the capture of perception, and Lu Ming knew that a person as moody as the black-faced man was not much of a threat, if it was an opponent. The white-faced man is a deadly serpent with beautiful patterns.
The saint remained calm. With her status, of course, these gatekeepers didn't dare to think anything about her, and even if they did, she wouldn't care. Because that's the difference between a frog and a swan.
Lu Ming sighed secretly. Identities are really useful sometimes. Otherwise, you don't have to go to the trouble and have to participate in the assessment.
"This is the assessment ground of Ming Jian. The white-faced man stood still again and pushed open the two gates.
It was a huge room, and there was only one person in it who was constantly sharpening his sword. Remove him, and this is a real sword world, which is presented in front of Lu Ming's eyes. He glanced at it and found that there were actually nine hundred and ninety-nine swords here, and a ray of light shone in through the window, and the swords reflected each other, and the cold air already made people feel the pressure.
These swords are not ordinary swords, but good swords with a completely twenty forging level, and the sword hall uses such a sword to conduct an assessment, which is also to show his strength to outsiders.
The Sword Hall is indeed the Sword Hall! Lu Ming secretly sighed, and then said, "Then how do you assess me?"
"There are a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine swords here, and ...... of them" The white-faced gatekeeper took a few steps forward, pointed to the sword and said: "One of them has been stained with human blood, and then it has been wiped clean, now as long as you can accurately pick out the bloodstained sword, you have obtained the second-level permission, and the staff here will issue you a permission token." ”
The black-faced man laughed secretly in his heart, there is not only one sword that has been stained with human blood, but there are ten of them, according to the regulations of the Sword Hall, the swordsmen who participate in the assessment can only pass if they select more than two.
Now that you are told that there is only one, your subconscious will definitely think that there is only one bloody sword here, and when the time comes, you can only pick one, and the staff here will definitely tell you that you have failed.
When the time comes, I just have to say, what I said at that time was that I want you to find out every blood-stained sword, what other tricks do you have? Boy! People are under the low eaves, don't be too arrogant! Today I will teach you how to be flexible!
"Oh. Lu Ming nodded lightly, looked at the swords, and then said, "However, what if I take out more than one blood-stained sword?"
The white-faced man was suddenly shocked, but the surprise was hidden in his heart, but he was already churning: "Could it be that this kid has found more than one bloodstained sword?"
The black-faced man's brows were about to twist together, and although his heart was churning, he had no choice but to say: "If you think there are many blood-stained swords, then take them out, but be cautious, this is a major matter that means whether you can successfully obtain authority." ”
When the black-faced man spoke, his finger was still stretched out suggestively, if there were outsiders, he would definitely think that Lu Ming had spent money to buy them off. However, the saint smiled faintly, as if to say, "You want to stump my man? ”
I see. Lu Ming sneered a few times in his heart, the last time you told me that I had to survive fifty moves, but you didn't tell me that I could defeat him, it seems that this time there must be more than a bloodstained sword in it!
Lu Ming took a look at these swords, and then walked inside, picking them out from time to time, but they were decent, and in just three or two minutes, he walked out with a bunch of swords.
The black-faced man's face became gloomy, because every time Lu Ming took out a sword, it was a sword that had been stained with human blood, and it was as accurate as if he had placed it on it, even if he let himself place it himself, and then came back to get it, he might not be as accurate as him. But he is already in the realm of a sword master, and he is just an intermediate great sword master?
The white-faced man looked at the sword in Lu Ming's hand, his face was very ugly, but it was still routine, he looked at the black face, and said, "Then let's count and check it." ”
Alas, the black-faced man took a sword from Lu Ming's hand, looked it up and down carefully, and said, "The selection is successful." ”
In fact, he already has the answer in his heart, if it's just pretentious, it seems that he really has to go to the next assessment, this is his own failure!ah?
The blackface counted the numbers, and his eyes suddenly lit up, because he actually took eleven swords in Lu Ming's hands!
"Hey, boy, you've failed!" the sudden change almost made the blackface scream excitedly.
"Failed? impossible. Lu Ming asserted: "Every sword I took out was stained with blood. ”
"It's a pity!" The white face sighed: "Among the nine hundred and ninety-nine swords, only ten swords have been stained with human blood, and they are soaked in blood, and then wiped clean, you can find them all, and it really makes me admire, but you take one more sword, but this sword cannot be stained with blood at all, because this is the rule of the Sword Hall, which is very strict." ”
"Originally, I wanted to take it to the next assessment field, but now it seems that your footsteps have ended here. The black-faced man was full of helplessness and regret, and then said: "But you now have first-level authority, just go in with the Holy Maiden, but remember, don't leave the adult's side, otherwise, you will be arrested, our Sword Hall is merciful, but outsiders can't wantonly break our rules, so you still have to accept the punishment to set an example......"
"No way. Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "Let me ask you, if you want to know whether there is blood on it or not, how do you make a judgment?"
The black-faced man smiled proudly and said: "This is not simple, the sword that has been stained with blood must have a residual bloody breath on it, and the sword is stained with blood, it is destined to have a murderous aura, and the sword without blood is completely two levels, just like one has eaten, and the other is still asleep, this kind of assessment, not only requires the swordsman to perceive outstandingly, but also to test the talent of a swordsman, but now it seems that you have failed, which shows that your talent and perception are very ......."
"Wait. The staff member who was silently wiping the sword suddenly spoke, and then he walked over quickly, took the steel sword directly from the white-faced man's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "This sword is also stained with blood, I can be sure." ”
"Impossible!" the black-faced man shouted directly, "Since I took over this stall, there have only been ten blood-stained swords in it, and there has never been an eleventh one, you wipe the sword every day, you recognize every sword here, is it a mess now?"
The staff looked at Lu Ming in surprise, and even looked carefully for a long time, and then glanced at the black-faced man very calmly, and said: "The day before yesterday, when I was wiping the sword, I accidentally cut my finger, although I reacted quickly, but there was still a trace of blood on it, I quickly wiped it clean, I felt that it was inappropriate, and rinsed it three times with clean water, and then replaced it with a new cotton towel to dry it, until I couldn't vaguely feel it, I was relieved." But I didn't expect to be picked out by you today, young man, you are very good!"
As the staff spoke, he took out a token from his waist, put it in Lu Ming's hands with both hands, and said, "Young man, I have been polishing swords for thirty years, and I have never met a young man who can find all ten swords, and I didn't expect you to find the eleventh, yes, very good!"
Lu Ming smiled indifferently and took the token, he didn't need to look at it, he knew from the feeling in his hand that this token was made of pure copper, heavy, and the purple luster showed the degree of purity.
In fact, you don't need to perceive these swords by yourself, just by the killer's intuition, you can know which sword is stained with blood, and the bloody aura and murderous aura on it are as shiny as torches lit at night. (To be continued......)
