Chapter 19 The Iron Cloak Building
After defeating the Golden Snake Sword Yan Zhang, Xia Qi went to the remaining sword halls that promised him to try the sword, and instead used the Dugu Nine Swords to defeat the two pavilion owners who were also Nine Swordsmen.
In the evening, the news spread completely, causing a lot of sensation, almost all the people in the rivers and lakes in the entire Changle City, or ordinary people who like the rumors of the rivers and lakes, know that there is a mysterious loose cultivator who has just entered the rivers and lakes, he is only in his early twenties, but his swordsmanship is superb, and he has defeated three famous and surnamed Nine Trick Sword Pavilion owners in Changle in one day with four tricks of cultivation.
At the same time, many onlookers who were present at the time were vigorously publicizing their experiences in the tavern teahouse, blowing Xia Qi's swordsmanship into the sky.
After all, even in the area of Changle Juyuan, which is the most prosperous in the world and has the most young masters, no one has ever played such a terrifying record in the past ten years.
Only going back to the period of Su Wuming twenty years ago and the Twin Stars Yaoshi forty years ago, only a few outstanding people were able to achieve this level.
In the end, after discussion, this group of people in the rivers and lakes gave him the name of "Ling Xuan Sword" according to Xia Qi's appearance of the volley killing move.
For a while, the news that "Ling Xujian first entered the rivers and lakes to try the sword Changle, and the four tricks of cultivation were defeated for many years and nine tricks in a row" was spread, and many forces were curious about the owner of this name, and they sent people to inquire about Xia Qi's whereabouts, but they found nothing.
And Xia Qi, the initiator, had already achieved his goal, brushed off his clothes, and quietly escaped out of the city through the magic weapon of the Mixed Yuan Flag, and went back and forth between the inn and the Changle School Palace in the following days, returning to a peaceful life of cultivation and study.
For him, this swordsman vest is just used to manage his own network of rivers and lakes, and it is useless to deter Xiaoxiao when necessary, there is no need to spend much energy to play, and improving his strength is the first priority.
……………
After Xia Qi became famous in the first battle, because this record was so amazing, it attracted many martial artists who wanted to verify the authenticity of this rumor in person, including many masters who had mastered the mastery of location.
Xia Qi was also happy to see this, contacted the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion Tang, and made an appointment with others through him, and took the initiative to come to the door in the next month to fight more than 20 times with various swordsmanship masters, without any defeat.
After that, he went one step further, no longer limited to swordsmanship, whether it was a knife, a gun, a stick, a fist, a palm, or a leg, as long as the opponent's cultivation was above the nine tricks and below the half-step exterior scene, he would not refuse.
Thanks to the blessing of so many battles, Xia Qi's swordsmanship has improved rapidly, and the three swordsmanship that were originally distinct from Weijing have also begun to merge.
Among them, the true meaning of Dugu Jiujian is "breaking", there is no specific move itself, and the attack needs to be based on the opponent's flaws, as long as you follow the path, do not delay the opportunity, and hide any changes.
The Baiyun Sword Technique and the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles focused on specific moves, and after being disassembled and absorbed by him, they were broken into pieces, and they were also well integrated into his own swordsmanship.
Now he can be said to be a good understanding of the way of swordsmanship, plus he has the ability to control the body in the subtleties of eight or nine Xuangong, and the swordsmanship has gradually touched the realm of "subtlety".
The subtle realm is the first door to enter the sympathy between heaven and man.
Of course, Xia Qi's cultivation of the Eight or Nine Xuangong during this period of time has not fallen, and now he has opened up the two nasal orifices and began to condense the corresponding acupoints of the seventh oral aperture, and the inner heaven and earth are about to be completed.
And the higher his cultivation, the stronger his swordsmanship, and the more opponents he defeated.
This also made Xia Qi's name "Ling Xujian" famous, and his achievements gradually spread from the Changle area to the north and south of the river, along the waterway, and entered the sight of many forces.
…………
Time flies, and in the third month after the return, "Ling Xujian" directly climbed on the list of people in the Southern Jin Dynasty opposite because of his brilliant achievements during this time.
"Name: Unknown."
"Nickname: Ling Xuan Sword."
"Martial arts: open six tricks, the specific martial arts are unknown, master a style of sword moves sublimated from the opening of the trick to the exterior scene, the swordsmanship is close to the nuance, touch the law, and rank among everyone. In addition, his whereabouts are hidden, his light work is outstanding, and he comes and goes as if he is in a no-man's land. ”
"Record: On the first day of his debut, he defeated three nine-trick swordsmen in Changle with four-trick cultivation in a row, and then successively defeated more than 20 famous nine-trick masters in the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"Evaluation: After the Nine Tricks, Heaven and Man are bound to be one, and the future Grandmaster can be expected."
"Ranking: Fifteenth."
"Identity: Changle Swordsman (doubtful, real identity to be examined)."
…………
When the news of this month's list came to the inn and was known by Xia Qi, who was concentrating on cultivation, it was already evening.
"It's time."
Xia Qi stopped his exercises, accompanied by the "click" sound of the bones around his body, and after a while, he had transformed into the appearance of "Ling Xuan Sword".
He picked up the long sword on the table and prepared to enter the city, taking advantage of this time to be on the list, and officially contact the forces behind the "relationship network" that he had made during this time.
After getting the follow-up of this "name", he didn't plan to stay here in Changle any longer, after all, he needed to go north to the Pure Yang Sect as soon as possible to meet Chonghe, and he could also sharpen himself along the way.
…………
As the destination gradually approached, it was the Wanbao Pavilion where Xia Qi bought the sword at that time, and after entering, under the guidance of the maid, he directly found the shopkeeper Tang.
At this time, the shopkeeper Tang had long since lost his indifferent attitude after the stiffening, but seemed more enthusiastic than at the beginning, and said with a smile:
"Welcome, I don't know what you want to buy today?"
"Shopkeeper Tang is polite, but I'm not here to buy something today, but to find Deacon Chu for something." Xia Qi's tone was calm and authentic.
"Deacon Chu was transferred half a month ago, if you want to go to the owner's place, let the contemptible person guide you."
"Is that so? Then trouble Shopkeeper Tang to lead the way. ”
"Well said, well said."
While talking, the two walked out of the back door, and after turning around, they came to a quiet and chic hidden courtyard.
The pavilions and pavilions inside are horizontal, the corridor railings are looping, and there is a vermilion two-story small building standing in the center.
Shopkeeper Tang walked in front of him, chatting with a smile: "Here we are, this is the place where we will contact the owner." ”
Wanbao Pavilion as a good treasure weapon shop on the rivers and lakes, there are branches in many states and counties, the supply of goods is complex and diverse, and it is rumored that it has an inextricable relationship with the iron cloak.
But in fact, it was originally an industry that was split out of the Iron Cloak Building, so each branch pavilion will be guarded by the Keqing and disciples of the Iron Cloak Building, like the previous Deacon Chu who took the sword for Xia Qi is the person of the Iron Cloak Tower.
After Xia Qi became famous in the first battle, Deacon Chu launched a solicitation after contacting him, and told him that if he considered joining the Iron Cloak Building, he would be given the status of a true disciple, but Xia Qi did not reply immediately, but claimed that he would take the initiative to visit after thinking about it, so he waited until the day when the list of people was announced today.
The iron cloakhouse is one of the six people in the world, neither good nor evil, the foundation is deep, there are many strong people, it is more secret than other sects, the location of the main building is unknown, it is said that it is on a small island in the East China Sea that is difficult to find.
The sub-buildings are all over the north and south of the river, such as the Shendu Building, Jiangdong Building in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the Changle Building in this Great Zhou.
The organizational structure and goals of such a large force in the form of a gang are different from those of sectarian families, and many of them are recruited halfway through the way to teach and teach them to maintain the needs of expansion.
"Thank you." Xia Qi's face was calm, and Yuan Yue stopped at a gallop, with an awe-inspiring bearing, "Please be polite, just say that 'Ling Xujian' has come to pay a visit." ”
The shopkeeper Tang paused slightly, as if he had received a certain transmission, and then gestured to him: "Please go up here, the contemptible person has received the summons, and the landlord is waiting for you above." ”
Depending on the regional importance, the owner of the first floor is either an ordinary exterior scene, or a top roof, or even a grandmaster, and the owner of this Changle branch is rumored to be a top-notch master of the six heavens on the outside.
Xia Qi bowed slightly, and then slowly climbed the vermilion purple building.
