Chapter 829: Hidden Swordsman
Speaking of the swordsman list, there are actually not only ten swordsmen, but twenty swordsmen. It's just that because the ten swordsmen are too famous, and the ten swordsmen behind are slightly less famous, and most of them rarely appear on the rivers and lakes, not many people know about them. Therefore, people in the rivers and lakes still habitually believe that there are only ten swordsmen on the swordsman list, and there is a reason for the top ten swordsmen.
For example, Sword Immortal Zhou Yingshang ranked eleventh on the swordsman list. He is not only the most famous among the bottom ten swordsmen on the swordsman list, but also the bottom ten swordsmen who have made the most appearances on the rivers and lakes.
His martial arts are indeed good, and the title of Sword Immortal is not for nothing, almost at the same level as most of the ten swordsmen. However, even if this was the case, Sword Immortal Zhou Yingshang was not necessarily the one with the highest martial arts among the last ten swordsmen.
The reason for this is also based on the ranking on the swordsman list.
This swordsman list was ranked by Gongsun Chu, an old-timer of the Qingcheng faction, and he was also recognized as the number one kendo master in the world at that time.
When Gongsun Chu was on the swordsman list, he was already over 110 years old, and he was almost a person who was about to enter the earth.
At that time, as a veritable number one sword in the world at that time, many juniors went to consult kendo. As a result, the Huashan faction, which has always been known as the first sword sect in the world, also has many masters to consult this martial arts senior.
At that time, Ji Nansong, the head of the Huashan faction, that is, the master of the sword immortal Zhou Yingshang, came here and went to visit the peerless swordsman of the Qingcheng faction. Although Ji Nansong was already in his seventies at that time, in front of Gongsun Chu, who was more than 110 years old, he was still a younger generation.
The younger generation humbly asked for advice, and did not ask for a martial arts competition, but in the way of arguing about the Tao, Gongsun Chu was naturally willing to preach.
The two elders discussed the Tao together in Qingcheng Mountain for seven days, and Ji Nansong benefited a lot, and the way of the sword was still in his seventies, so he went to the next level.
Ji Nansong was very grateful, and when the discussion ended, the two had already become close friends. In the end, as a friend, Ji Nansong casually asked Gongsun Chu a question, that is, in Gongsun's heart, among the younger generations, which people's swordsmanship can be like his eyes. In other words, it is to let him rank among the swordsmen of the younger generation, how will he rank. Of course, the descendants he said were not the descendants of Gongsun Chu, but the generation of his apprentice Zhou Yingshang.
Originally, this question was just a joke that Ji Nansong said casually, but the old man of Gongsun Chu finally treated him as a serious matter. So, he played the mountains and rivers again, and at the age of one hundred and ten years, he gave swords to the young swordsmen who were already famous in the rivers and lakes at that time.
Among his targets, there were twenty swordsmen, and there were twelve swordsmen and eight swordsmen who had fought with him in total, and Gongsun Chu did not find them, so no matter how much he gave the sword.
Among these young swordsmen, including the most famous Tianxing Sword Crazy Laughing Moon Song, they were all defeated by the centenarian's sword. Therefore, Gongsun Chu naturally knows these people's swordsmanship very well in his heart. At this time, he invited Ji Nansong again, and then thought to answer his question.
Laughing Yuege is the only one who can fight Ji Nansong for three hundred rounds, and then lose to Gongsun Chu with a sword, so Gongsun Chu thinks that his swordsmanship is the best among the younger generation, and it is incomparably comparable.
Hu Daiwei's sword is the slowest in the world, but it is also unique, it can be said to be a school of its own, so he won the title of slow sword god. The fifth line of the sword shadow is the only young man who can stab him twice, so Gongsun Chu thinks that his swordsmanship is the fastest and sharpest among these people, and the sword shadow comes from this.
In the Star Sword Sect in northern Jiangsu, there are people in the roster of Gongsun Chuci Sword at the same time, that is, Qin Gang, Li Haiqing and Ou Mu, even more than the Huashan faction, the first sword sect in the world. At that time, the Huashan faction only had two proud disciples of Ji Nansong, Peng Ji and Zhou Yingshang, who were able to enter the eyes of Gongsun Chu. However, what made Ji Nansong even more disappointed was that although Zhou Yingshang was given the title of Sword Immortal and had to evaluate his swordsmanship with great aura, he only ranked eleventh on the swordsman list in the end. As for Peng Ji, Ji Nansong's favorite disciple, he didn't even make it to the swordsman list.
Although Ji Nansong was disappointed, he also felt that Gongsun Chu was fair, so he had no objection. Ou Mu, as the youngest person who gave the sword, was only thirteen years old at the time, and he was already looking at Gongsun Chu to shave the wood. Although he was only ranked tenth on the swordsman list, at his age, he was already very remarkable. Therefore, Gongsun Chu believes that he is the most potential swordsman among these people, and his future is limitless, and Gongsun Chu does not know what kind of maturity he can achieve in the future.
Because there were twelve people who were gambled by Gongsun Chu, Gongsun Chu and Ji Nansong helped these people rank up, that is, the twelve people in front of the swordsman list.
There are eight people left, although they are the targets of Gongsun Chu, but they are all sword-wielding killers, and almost all of them are from the same organization, the Dark Moon Alliance.
The killer will only draw the sword when he kills someone. If you kill someone, you will see blood, either you will die, or I will die, there is no such thing as only fighting for victory and not seeking life and death.
Gongsun Chu couldn't ask them to kill people, and it was impossible for others to invite them to kill him, so naturally he couldn't force them to make a move. Because, there is a way to act, and Gongsun Chu is in prestige, but it can't destroy the killer way of the Dark Moon Alliance.
Seven of the eight were from the Dark Moon Alliance, the only one who was not a killer, and it was said that he was a prodigal son who hid in the bitter cold of the far north. The hundred-year-old Gongsun Chu is no longer able to go to the bitter cold land of the extreme north, so he naturally can't deal with this person.
As a result, the eight people in the back can only be ranked according to their fame in the rivers and lakes, the more famous they are, the first they are, and the least famous ones are ranked last.
That is to say, the twelve great swordsmen in front are ranked according to their strength and are called the twenty-two great swordsmen. However, people actually only remember ten, so they are also called the ten swordsmen. The ten swordsmen mentioned on the rivers and lakes now, in fact, strictly speaking, only refer to the first twelve swordsmen, but the top ten swordsmen call them to say smoothly. The last eight swordsmen, almost all of them are killers, and they rarely appear in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, and if they appear, they only kill people mercilessly, and not many people have seen them. Because of this, no one knows the level of martial arts of these killers at all, so they have to estimate and judge their strength based on their fame and the price of killing. Therefore, they are also known as hidden swordsmen.
Among the hidden swordsmen, the most important one should be mentioned is the last one.
This person is almost not famous in the rivers and lakes, because he only has one name and has never shown up. Others, no matter how mysterious or hidden, have at least seen them. Even the swordsman hiding in the far north occasionally goes back to the Central Plains to play in the mountains and rivers, and when he has had enough, he returns to the north, and naturally some people have seen it. It's just that when Gongsun Chu wanted to find him, he was just about to be absent from the Central Plains, but in the extreme north. After Gongsun Chu lined up the swordsman list, he became an immortal within a few years, so this became an eternal regret for the swordsman list.
Only this last swordsman is really very mysterious. Because since he made a name in the rivers and lakes, no one has ever seen him except for the people of the Dark Moon Alliance.
This person is called Void.
Why is it that he can be named even though he has not seen him?
Because he is the leader of the Dark Moon Alliance, he is the king of killers who rules almost all the killers in the world. However, although he is known as the king of killers, in fact, he has never killed anyone in his life.
No one could have imagined that the number one killer in the world actually doesn't kill people.
Therefore he does not kill people, so naturally no one has ever seen him.
He had two men, one male and one female, collectively known as the Yama Emissaries. Every time the Dark Moon Alliance killer kills someone, he will first ask someone to send a letter to Yama, which usually only writes the time of the killing, and nothing else is mentioned. Whoever receives the letter from Yama will surely die. Most of the messengers were the two messengers of Yama.
Even if the killers of the Dark Moon Alliance want to see the void, they must go through the two envoys of Yama to report the void first, and when they get permission, they can go to the void. Therefore, it is difficult for the Dark Moon Killer to meet the leader of the Dark Moon Alliance, let alone ordinary outsiders.
If someone wants to ask for the Dark Moon Killer, they only need to find the Yama Messenger, pay the money, and explain the goal, and everything is all right.
The envoy of Yama wants you to die on the third watch, and you will never leave anyone until the fifth watch.
This is the coercion and strength of the Dark Moon Alliance, the world's number one killer alliance.
If you inadvertently offend Xu, even if you can escape to the Heavenly Palace, you will still be unable to escape death.
This is the strength of the number one killer in the sky.
The first person in the world to kill, he is not killing people, he is just teaching others how to kill people.
It's like gambling money, in fact, the real undefeated gambling king is gambling himself.
In the same way, the most learned and wise people in the world are almost always unwritten and unlearned.
He just taught many other students to write books and do scholarship.
For example, when Gongsun Chu was young, there was a person who claimed to be unfathomable in martial arts, Sima Xinming, the leader of the Demon Sect. This person, naturally, after he became the leader of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect became mighty and became the number one sect in the world, and the combined efforts of the nine major sects were not even vulnerable to him. Therefore, everyone in the rivers and lakes recognized that their martial arts were the real number one in the world, even higher than Gongsun Chu, and Yang Zhengnan, the number one master of the Demon Sect at that time.
Fu Demon Yang Zhengnan, why is he the number one master of the Demon Sect? Because when he was a master of martial arts against the enemy, he never lost the record, and no one dared to beat him. But such a person is also willing to become Sima Xinming's thug, which shows how powerful Sima Xinming is. It's not so much that he's the number one master of the Demon Sect, but that he's the number one fighter of the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect has enemies, and it only shot at the south of the Demon Yang Zhengnan, and it was immediately completed.
With such subordinates, Sima Xinming is naturally "a lupine scarf, talking and laughing, and the canopy is gone." Therefore, since he became the leader of the Demon Sect, no one has ever seen him make a move, because the rivers and lakes have not been able to pass Yang Zhengnan's level at all. However, people think that he is the number one master in the world.
A person who has never made a move, but is recognized as the world's number one master, in such a world, in fact, there is no one before or after.
The real gambling king never gambles money.
A true wise man never writes a book.
A real killer who never kills.
A true master, never a shot.
The real rivers and lakes never stop.
In fact, it's not that the overlord really hasn't heard of the name of the ghost two, everything he just did was pretending.
Even if he dares to occupy the mountain as the king, and there are not many people and horses, but he can stand, then he naturally has some original ability, how can he not know the master of the Poison Beast Gorge, one of the four major families?
However, even if he knew the name of the second ghost of the Poisonous Beast Gorge, why did he dare to be so arrogant, but it turned out to be
When the third ghost heard that the overlord was rude to the second ghost, he was very angry, and he didn't wait for the senior brother to speak, so he immediately said: "What a big courage! Do you know who we are? Are you so rude to our second senior brother, don't you want to live? ”
"Who do I care you are? How daring! Do you know who I am? Why are you so rude to me, you don't want to live? The overlord still didn't back down, and he also learned the tone of the ghost three and said.
"You! Hum! I think you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you even dare to take care of the affairs of the Poisonous Beast Gorge? Tell you, we are the people of the Poisonous Beast Gorge, this is my second senior brother Poisonous Insect Ghost Er. You mountain horseman, hurry up and hand him over. Otherwise, your cottage will be razed to the ground! Ghost San said, he had secretly exercised his skills, and was ready to make a move at any time.
"Poison Beast Gorge? Am I not you monkeys in the mountains? Why, now you have learned to wear human clothes? It seems that this is called Mu Monkey and crown! But I don't think you look like a monkey! Hehe! "The overlord is still as domineering as ever, and he is still learning from the ghost three to beat him and make fun of him.
Hehe! Ha ha......
At this time, the minions under the overlord immediately laughed when they heard the overlord's joke.
It seems that they are already very familiar with the overlord. As long as there is a tyrant, they are not too afraid of any enemy they encounter.
"A bunch of bandits who are not as thick as the sky and the earth, Ghost San wants to see, how capable you are?" As he spoke, Ghost San flew into a punch and hit the overlord directly. He originally thought that the overlord was just a little bandit, and when he heard the name of the Poisonous Beast Gorge, he would immediately tremble with fright. But he couldn't believe it at all, when the overlord heard the name of the Poisonous Beast Gorge, not only was he not frightened, but he became even more dissatisfied, and even tried his best to be sarcastic.
"Good time!" The overlord is not afraid when he sees the ghost three shots.
The overlord took a step back first, and the ghost three hell fire fists immediately hit the open space where he was standing just now, and a ball of fireworks rose with a "boom". Ghost San didn't expect that this bandit leader would be so proficient, and he also expected the enemy to take the lead and dodge his own punch first.
It's just that the ghost three haven't reacted yet, but after seeing that the overlord dodged his punch, he suddenly backhanded a sword, but stabbed him in the chest.
The speed of the sword move was completely unexpected. The ghost three wanted to dodge and dodge, but suddenly found that the sword of the overlord was actually three at once, attacking him from the left, center, and left at the same time. In other words, no matter how he dodged, it was impossible for him to avoid the sword of the overlord.
Ghost San had no choice, because he couldn't dodge, so he could only retreat. But after the overlord's sword moves, he still chased after him.
Ghost San didn't expect that the bandit leader on this small hill was actually a hard stubble, no wonder he was so arrogant? The ghost three were horrified in his heart, and in a panic, he had to punch several times one after another, and the strength of the fist immediately dissolved the two sword shadows, leaving only a real sword.
With a "z" sound, Ghost San was immediately hit by a sword on his right shoulder, but the overlord also showed mercy to his subordinates, and only pierced the flesh on Ghost San's shoulder, and immediately withdrew his hand. If he was a little more vicious, he would immediately drop the right arm of the ghost San.
"Three points of sword qi, good swordsmanship!" Seeing this, the second ghost immediately praised.
"Huh! Unexpectedly, you still have a little eyesight and actually recognize my swordsmanship. The overlord smiled.
"In the lower eye, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?" Oniji asked.
"I have no name and no surname, and my brothers all call me 'overlord'!" The overlord still replied domineeringly.
Ghost San didn't know what kind of martial arts the three-point sword qi was, so he only asked, "Second senior brother, what kind of martial arts is the three-point sword qi?"
"Three-point sword qi, it is said to be the twelfth in the ranking of swordsmen, and the famous martial arts of three-point sword mania." When Ghost Sanyi heard that he was a swordsman, he naturally had some bottom in his heart. It's just that he didn't expect that these three-point swordsmen were only ranked twelfth on the swordsman list, but they were also so powerful that they could hurt themselves with one sword.
Of course, the main reason why he was injured was because of his carelessness. But even if he is not careless, it is difficult to defeat him.
This person's swordsmanship is not only as fast as lightning, but also the sword momentum can also transform into three sword qi sword shadows, which is very elusive.
Supreme illusion, borrowing fake to cultivate the truth.
These eight characters are talking about the highest realm of martial arts, but I don't want this swordsman who is only ranked twelfth to have such a mastery of swordsmanship.
"Then he's not a three-point sword maniac?" Ghost Er is still the twelfth on the list of swordsmen, and he is a three-point sword maniac, not only does he not know his name.
Because even Gongsun Chu, who ranked him in the swordsman list, didn't know what his name was, so the swordsman list only wrote the nickname he gave him, 'Three-point Sword Maniac', and a description of his three-point swordsmanship.
As for the three-point sword maniac himself, there is no description, because he really doesn't know the background of this person's life and the origin of his teacher. There are not even famous big names on the rivers and lakes who know the back of this person.
"I can't imagine that there are still people in the rivers and lakes who remember this name." Although the overlord did not answer this sentence directly, it can be regarded as an indirect team, and he is a three-point sword maniac.
In other words, the titles of the characters on the swordsman list were added by Gongsun Chu and Ji Nansong. Because the prestige of the two is very high, this swordsman list is also widely circulated, and these titles have not only been recognized by fellow martial artists, but also used as a nickname by myself.
Among the twelve true swordsmen, the other eleven have used the title of the swordsman list, but this three-point swordsman has not been used. Therefore, except for Gongsun Chu himself, in fact, no one knows who this three-point sword madman is, what his name is, and where is it sacred?
