Chapter 0027: Strange Sword
The sword sticker is the challenge of the formal sword competition, this tradition was passed down from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Han and Tang dynasties were martial arts, men's swords were extremely common, and slightly decent men would have a sword of their own.
A few friends go out on an outing to step on the spring, come to the place of interest, draw a sword to compete, or the two sides turn against each other, and they will also draw a sword to fight each other.
Most of the time the sword is a verbal agreement, few people under the sword, the next sword sticker means that there may be a danger to life, this situation to find an intermediary to testify, if it is a sword to fight life and death, then must also be filed with the government.
But the reason for Suo Wenjian's posting is only a swordsmanship contest, and there is no meaning of deciding life and death, so there is no need to file with the government, but it is also more formal, the time is tomorrow morning, and the location is the East School Field, which is the place where Li Zhenwu took the step shooting test in the township test.
"Lao Li, why do you want to take his sword sticker, it's just a mess!"
Jiu Zhi heard that Suo Wen had given Li Zhen a sword sticker, and he was immediately indignant, "I have already lost to you in the sword competition last year, according to the rules, you are not allowed to make another sword appointment within three years, what does he mean? It is only a year to compete with a sword, and this cheek is simply thicker than the city wall." ”
Li Zhen was unimpressed by the anger of the fat man, waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's three years or a year, whether you should win or win, whether you should lose or lose, don't you say?"
"That being said, there are rules after all, and everyone knows that he will break the rules if he messes around like this. ”
Next to him, Kang Dazhuang said in a deep voice: "It is estimated that the Suo family failed to buy the stone wall this time, and Suo Wen has a grudge, so he will take the sword to talk about it, but he is obviously not your opponent!"
"Lao Li, there must be a conspiracy here, obviously he is not your opponent and he is still serious about the sword, isn't he afraid of losing face? No! No! There must be a conspiracy here, and we can't be fooled. ”
Li Zhen patted Jiu Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about conspiracy all day long, he has been practicing the sword for a year, and he is estimated to be able to defeat me, so he will propose a sword competition." ”
"Practice hard!" Jiuzhi said contemptuously: "I met him in Yichun Courtyard yesterday"
Jiu Zhi covered his mouth violently, and now that he said that he had leaked his mouth, Li Zhen laughed, pressed him and asked, "Dead fat man, tell me honestly, how many twenty gold coins are left?"
"The sky is blue and the sun is shining, and the gold coins are all bought for Cui'er, I have only been to that place once, I just went to find someone!"
"Of course you're looking for someone, we all know that. ”
"Where is Chubby going to find someone!"
Li Quan walked in with a pot of Hu Cakes and smiled, so frightened that the three of them didn't dare to speak anymore
The East School Field was crowded with teenagers who came to see the sword competition, and the news of Li Zhen and Suo Wen's sword competition had already spread, and everyone flocked to see this wonderful battle.
In fact, Li Zhen and Suo Wen's sword competition was originally unfair, Suo Wen was the son of a Dunhuang magnate, he could be ruthless, and even kill Li Zhen, but Li Zhen was only a commoner, but he couldn't hurt Suo's grandson.
Everyone knows very well, so more people are worried about Li Zhen, and Da Zhuang and Jiuzhi are also worried.
Li Zhen smiled at Da Zhuang and Jiuzhi, "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, how did I defeat him last year, this year is still the same, you don't have to worry, shout for me!"
Jiuzhi pulled Li Zhen aside and said in a low voice: "Do you want me to play with some yin, I brought croton powder, how about I put some croton in his drinking water first?"
Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry a little, "What are you bringing that thing for?"
Jiuzhi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "You know that I always carry this kind of thing with me. ”
"First of all, warn you, don't mess around! ”
Jiu Zhi pouted disdainfully, "Is it still famous? Is it important to have a small life or a reputation? Forget it! Fat man, I just have a good intention, you don't want me to care, I am still happy." ”
Li Zhen actually doesn't want to compete with this mosquito young man, this kind of person can't afford to lose, if he lets him, he will inevitably brag around and belittle himself as worthless.
If he wins him, he will not be reconciled, and he will do everything possible to save face, and their Suo family style has always been like this.
But now that Suo Wen is in front of him, Li Zhen will not always back down, and he is also very curious, last year, this Suo Wen was defeated by his sword in two moves.
And today, this Suo Wen is actually impatient to challenge himself, only a year later, could it be that he has practiced some special skills?
Both sides of the test court were crowded with teenagers who came to watch the sword competition, and they were all excited, desperately tearing their throats and shouting, hoping that they would fight to the death.
Suo Wen's palms were full of sweat, and he was a little nervous in his heart, he was also quite tall, and his figure was similar to Li Zhen, he was wearing a gauze hat today, a first-class silk robe, a jade belt around his waist, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he looked like a jade tree in the wind.
In his hand he held a long sword made by a famous artist, the blade of which was sharp, shining in the cold light of the sun.
The day before yesterday, Suo Wen got the guidance of Lan Zhenyu, Lan Zhenyu is good at medicine, and from him, Suo Wen has learned an insidious means that can make him defeat the other party in a lighter than a sword.
Suo Wen's heart became anxious, he was eager to fight Li Zhen, and defeat him, and take the halo of Shazhou's No. 1 young master from his head.
At this time, Suo Wen felt an indescribable murderous aura on Li Zhen's body, like an invisible force oppressing him, making him feel a trace of timidity in his heart.
This kind of murderous aura was not felt last year, and even when I met Li Zhen some time ago, I didn't feel this murderous aura, but now it is revealed from Li Zhen's long sword.
Especially Li Zhen's sharp eyes, staring at him with blazing eyes, made Suo Wen feel that his attempt was seen through by the other party, and Suo Wen couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart.
Li Zhen's attire was very different from Suo Wen's, he did not wear a crown hat, only a white scarf, a blue fine linen robe, a leather belt around his waist, and the long sword in his hand was also a bargain he bought at the blacksmith shop for 800 yuan.
But after the desperate fight with the Tubo soldiers a few days ago, Li Zhen's mentality has naturally changed, and his view of life and death has changed.
There are two kinds of swordsmanship in Datang, one is routine swordsmanship, such as the swordsmanship practiced by scholars in the state school, and the one-and-a-half-style swordsmanship learned by ordinary people, this kind of routine sword can only strengthen the body, and there is no meaning in actual combat.
There is also a kind of actual combat swordsmanship, which is practiced by special martial arts practitioners, who first practice routines, and then forget the routines, see the moves, and slash at will.
And you must not only practice the sword, but also practice the flexibility and strength of the body from an early age, and finally make the martial arts practitioner so that the eyes and hands are fast, the body is like a dragon, especially the strength must be strong enough, otherwise the strength is insufficient, and it will be split by a sword.
Li Zhen and Suo Wen both practice the latter, but their levels are completely different, not only because of the level of the master, but more importantly, because of their talents and hard work.
Li Zhen carried the long sword on his shoulder casually, looking a little careless, but his keen eyes watched Suo Wen's every move, and he saw that Suo Wen's eyes were very unnatural, as if he had done something wrong, which made him more vigilant.
In last year's sword competition, Suo Wen was defeated under his sword in two moves, and his swordsmanship has improved in the past year, but Suo Wen's mental state is no different from last year, so if Suo Wen wants to defeat himself, he must act within two moves.
Li Zhen stared at Suo Wen's left hand, he had already seen it, Suo Wen was holding a short blade in his left hand, sneaky, as if he couldn't see anyone.
Li Zhen sneered and shouted loudly: "Brother Suo, let it go to you first!"
"Good!"
Suo Wen shouted, rushed over, ran to Li Zhen's eyes, and stabbed with seven or eight swords, the sword light was shining, dazzling.
Li Zhen didn't resist, he took a few steps back, but his eyes were staring at Suo Wen's left hand, he saw that Suo Wen's left hand short blade moved, and he knew that he was going to make a move, he also shouted, the long sword blocked, and staggered sideways with Suo Wen.
At the moment of lightning, Suo Wen's left short blade slashed towards Li Zhen, and a stream of colorless powder erupted from his short blade, which was invisible from a distance, but Li Zhen could see it clearly, and at the moment when the short blade slashed out, he held his breath.
Suo Wen's killer weapon is this colorless powder, this medicine was originally used to deal with women, and when it smells, it will make the limbs weak, and Lan Zhenyu will increase the purity, making the effect of this powder even stronger, as long as you smell a little bit, you will be dizzy.
Suo Wen himself took the antidote in advance, not affected by the drug, Lan Zhenyu's method is more ingenious, the powder is hidden in a short sword, as long as the blade is slashed at the other party, the colorless powder will be thrown out from the hollow sword body, so that the other party unknowingly fell into the plot.
In the past two days, Suo Wenna has done a solid job in the house, and he has tried and tested, which has made him more confident.
The short sword was swung out, and I saw Li Zhen stumbling under his feet, as if he was about to fall, which caused the surrounding teenagers to exclaim, and they were even more anxious to shout: "Old Li beware!"
Suo Wen was suddenly overjoyed, the other party was hit, he was bold, turned around and shouted, and stabbed Li Zhen in the back of the heart with his sword, this sword was extremely ruthless, if he was stabbed, he would either die or be disabled.
In an exclamation, the long sword instantly stabbed Li Zhen's back, but at this time, Li Zhen unexpectedly took a step forward, just dodging Suo Wen's fatal sword, but he backhanded a sword and stabbed Suo Wen's wrist, Suo Wen screamed, and the long sword 'Dang Chang!' fell to the ground.
Sowen half-knelt on the ground, clutching his wrist and screaming, blood gushing out of his hand, making him tremble in pain.
The fight between the two ended between the rabbit and the falcon, but the final result was jaw-dropping, obviously Li Zhen was going to lose, why did Suo Wenzhong kneel in the end?
Jiu Zhi waved his arms excitedly and shouted: "See, this is the apprentice taught by the master without asshole, and he will lose the battle in one and a half moves, is there anyone who wants to go up and challenge?"
There was silence around the trial court, and no one dared to go up to challenge, but more people were worried about Li Zhen and hurt Suo Wen, would the Suo family let him go?
Lan Zhenyu, who was standing next to Suo Ying, was angered by Jiuzhi's vicious words, if it weren't for his reluctance to make an appearance, he would have to cut off the rotten mouth of this dead fat man today.
At this time, Suo Ying rushed in with more than a dozen family members drawing swords, and more than a dozen family members surrounded Li Zhen, Suo Ying hurriedly supported his brother and asked anxiously, "Big brother, how are you?"
"I don't know, the meridians may be broken. ”
Suo Ying was furious, turned his head and stared at Li Zhen and roared, "Li Zhen, you are bold!"
Li Zhen smiled coldly, picked up the short sword on the ground in front of him, bent down to pick it up, looked at it carefully and asked, "Gongzi Wen, do you want me to tell everyone?"
"Don't admit defeat to me!" Suo Wen pleaded in a low voice, he knew that if Li Zhen publicized this ugly thing, he was afraid that he would be ruined.
Suowen ordered the family again: "Let him go!"
"No!" Suo Ying was furious, he wanted to leave after hurting the Suo family's grandson, how could it be so easy? He said viciously: "Li Zhen, you must give the Suo family an explanation!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the school grounds, and then someone shouted: "Don't compare swords, something big is going to happen in Dunhuang!"
